THE BIG PICTURE

Sprezzatura: The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Damn – “The Italian Secret to Living Well Involves a Whole Lot of Olive Oil, Cigarettes, and Wine. The Italian guy’s chest says everything passes. The millionaire’s religion says don’t die. One of these men understands the universe. The other one measures his nighttime erections with a machine. You have two roads in front of you. Down one road there is olive oil, a little wine, people who love you loudly, and the serene knowledge that none of this was ever in your control anyway. Down the other road there is a clipboard, a hundred pills, an 11 am dinner, a machine that watches you sleep, and a mirror that gets more upsetting every year no matter how much you spend. One road ends at 100 years old with a tattoo and a tan.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

SURVEY: Many Canadian Manufacturers Considering Relocation to U.S. – “Keep in mind this is a survey of companies within Canada that do traditional manufacturing of products; this is not a survey of companies that assemble foreign goods for export – there is a substantial difference. Many will claim the trigger for the consideration is based on the potential elimination of the USMCA (CUSMA) trade agreement, and there is truth to that aspect. However, the systemic issues within Canada -including energy policy, regulation and corporate tax burdens- represent the larger problem; the termination of the USMCA is the straw that breaks their back.” – Sundance

This State Is Ground Zero For The “Explosive” Diarrhea Parasite As Cases Explode 400% – “Michigan is getting hit hardest in a fast-spreading nationwide outbreak of a stomach parasite, with cases exploding more than fourfold in a matter of days. Many people who catch the parasite – called cyclosporiasis – show no symptoms at all. But for those who do, it’s brutal. Those who catch the parasite experience watery, “explosive” diarrhea that can leave victims running to the bathroom dozens of times a day, along with severe cramping, vomiting, nausea, fatigue and fever.” – Tyler Durden

Manipulators Do Not Use Language The Same Way Normal People Do – “Normal people use language to communicate and connect, while manipulative people use language to control and extract.” – Caitlin Johnstone

8 Ways To Take Down Flock Without A Sawzall – “Personally, I think we’re well beyond the denial stage. The surveillance state isn’t coming—it’s already here. Because of that, I don’t spend much time judging how other people choose to push back. Some people protest. Some organize. Some file lawsuits. Some file public records requests. Some use Sawzalls. This article isn’t about any of that. This is for the people who want to use lawful, public channels to challenge Flock’s expansion in their own communities. Will it take longer? Usually.” – Jason Bassler

Which building was that, sir? I don’t recall.Was that considered a scene that was worth preserving? Uh, it was not. Yeah, of course, a bullet found on a different rooftop shouldn’t be considered part of the crime scene where a guy got shot, nor should it be looked into further because lone gunman, we don’t have room to even consider other gunmen in a case like this.” – AwakenWithJP  – ANOTHER GOOD ONE FROM JP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Create Positive Energy In A World Shrouded In Darkness – “We knew it wouldn’t last. Iran knew it wouldn’t last. Trump has effectively crossed every promise he has made – to America, so why wouldn’t he lie to Iran? Trump is now cozying up to Zelenskky – again while pretending to be Putin’s friend. In that regard, his embrace of Turkey may follow the same trajectory. Putin ‘handled’ Trump based on his ego. Erdogan is simply following that script in order to placate a Mad Man. It appears Trump is setting up Erdogan for Israel. ” – Helena Glass

Russia Warns NATO Leaders To ‘Stop & Think’ Before Leading World To Catastrophic Confrontation – “Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated Thursday, “European elites are positioning themselves as leaders in the confrontation between the ‘collective West’ and our country,” Zakharova said. “They likely don’t realize that all this entails not only creating threats and problems for Russia, but also a significant depletion of resources and the creation of hotbeds of military tension within Europe itself,” she added. She also underscored how pursuing peace with Russia was glaringly absent NATO proceedings at the Turkey summit. “A constructive agenda remains a low priority for NATO,” the Kremlin spokesperson continued. “It’s a shame that if NATO strategists had stopped and reflected, they might not have made such irresponsible decisions that could lead to disaster not only for the alliance, but for the entire world,” she said.” – Tyler Durden

Mamdani’s Rent Freeze Ignores His Own Housing Board’s Data – “A former member of New York’s Rent Guidelines Board said the board is “knowingly disregarding its own evidence.” She is not wrong. “This rebuilt board was required to deliver a rent freeze,” Christina Smyth wrote in a three-page resignation letter. “Everything since has been theater. The hearings, the reports, the public comment, the data. None of it was ever going to change the result.”” – Jon Miltimore

NATO vassals buy Trump ‘unity’ with $160 billion bribe – “One can only imagine the scenes of obsequiousness and utter debasement as European politicians lined up to kiss Trump’s ring. What a turnaround. The NATO summit this week was heading for an almighty crash, its leaders were bracing for impact, and then, suddenly, at the last moment, the alliance pulled out of a nosedive, and everyone was happy ever after. What happened? U.S. President Donald Trump came to Ankara in a fury over bashing the Europeans. Then the mood swung like a person who just got his rocks off. He was bought off with a $160 billion pledge from the European and Canadian NATO vassals. Money talks for this American president, whose administration is a byword for graft and grift.” – Finian Cunningham

The Botched Oligarch Assassination In Monaco Turned Into A Reputational Disaster For Ukraine – “The culprit’s killing by her own handlers discredits Ukraine’s military-intelligence agency GUR in the eyes of its agents and future assets alike, who might now consider defecting and not cooperating with them due to the fear that they too could be killed after a mission as part of a cover-up.” – Andrew Korybko

 

 

 

ECONOMIC NEWS

Markets and their Analysts Have Been Breathing Gas Fumes and the Smoke War – “Stocks rose and oil prices dropped today as markets and their analysts completely ignored the biggest outbreak of attacks in the Middle East in the last few weeks. Instead of sitting around the water cooler, they’re sitting around burning fuel tanks, betting that oil prices will be quickly dropping back to prewar levels as the flames of war light their backsides on fire. Today, they ignored Trump and Iran both saying the ceasefire deal is off yesterday, almost as if they were dumb enough to listen to Trump’s latest words, claiming Iran just called and is dying to make a deal! Yes, he pulled that tired canard out again because I guess there are enough people who have been breathing his missile-exhaust, hot air long enough to keep believing it.” – David Haggith

China made an announcement, and I think there are four or five banks that have contacted customers to tell them the paper market is basically going to cease to exist in China on July 24.

They want real physical cash and carry pricing. ” – Greg Hunter  – GOOD ONE FROM BILL AS USUAL!!!

First gold, then markets migrating East – “Goodbye to Western paper.

“Regime Change” at the Federal Reserve – “It’s “Regime Change” at the Fed as Kevin Warsh carts the Jerome Powell legacy to the dumpster. Sadly, he’s not ready to dumpster the entire Creature from Jekyll Island. On interest rates it was pretty much what everybody expected, holding rates steady at roughly neutral given the past 40 years. But the big news was Warsh announcing five changes to how the Fed operates.” – Peter St Onge
