THE BIG PICTURE

Exploring the Hidden Gospel – “The Secret Sayings of Jesus. Of all the wisdom kept from our sight, of all the truths never taught to us, what follows stands among the greatest. It is not locked away in some vault, you may find it with but a few keystrokes. Yet it remains almost entirely unknown, seen only in quiet circles and among those who seek the old books. The Gospel of Thomas This is not a text that was passed down openly through the ages, nor one you will find resting between the gospels upon the shelf. For centuries it was known only through faint whispers and scattered references, its very existence debated, doubted, and ultimately set aside, as though those in authority had decided it was not meant to be read. Then in the year 1945, within the dry and quiet earth of Nag Hammadi in Egypt, a great treasure was unearthed, curious mind. An ancient library sealed within clay jars, hidden away perhaps by those who feared what it contained, and there preserved across seventeen hundred years lay this Gospel written in the ancient Coptic tongue, waiting patiently through all those centuries for the moment when the world might once again be ready to hear it.” – Jordan Nuttall

The Killing Machines – “Governments and Technology Obsessing Over Efficient Death. Personally, I don’t think there is a better definition of insanity than the way humans delight in war and death. Yes, there was a time when killing your neighbour because they wouldn’t let you eat an apple growing on their side of the tribal fence made a tiny bit of sense. But what it has evolved into today is pure insanity. Humans are supposed to be capable of compassion. We are supposed to be able to sort out our differences with other tribes. We are supposed to care more about human life than we did in the cave days, when it was all about survival and who would or would not get the apple.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

The Problem Isn’t Flock or Ring – “These Flock (and Ring) cameras that are popping up everywhere are worrying but not for the right reason. Would you worry about a Flock or Ring camera if neither the government nor corporations (in “partnership” with the government) had any power to use the data collected against you? That’s the substantive objection. People have had cameras for longer than anyone currently living has been alive. It was and still is common for ordinary people to take pictures and videos in public. Few of us cared that we maybe got included in a picture or video taken by someone else taking pictures or videos – because why would we?” – Eric Peters

The True Cost of Trump Accounts (VIDEO) – “This is part of my ongoing investigation into the National Design Studio. Please see parts one and two. Imagine you have just given birth, and no one can tell you why the baby will not stop crying. You are sweating, your hands are shaking, and you are holding against your chest a person you met a few minutes ago and already love with a force that frightens you. You do not know if you are doing any of it right, and you are too tired to ask. In the middle of this a pleasant person comes in with a clipboard. Just a signature, they tell you, and a box to check if you want your baby to have a Social Security number. Of course you do. You check it and sign your name, and you do not read a word of the form, because you are holding your whole life in one arm and a pen in the other. What no one in that room tells you is that the box you just checked starts a second clock. That Social Security number is now keyed to a brokerage account run by a stock-trading app called Robinhood. It comes with a thousand dollars of federal money inside (if you are reading this before 2028) and the government plans to open one automatically for every newborn in the country.” – Audrey Henson / The Drey Dossier

Humpety-Trumpety’s Great Big Fall – “There has never been a more foolish Oval Office decision than the Donald’s order to the US armed forces to join Israel’s blatant aggression against Iran on February 28th. And to do so without even the pretense of consulting with a single leader of Congress—the very body delegated by the Constitution with the power to make war. The fact is, on February 27th, there was no attack on Guam, Puerto Rico or even any of the numerous US “armed forces” bases in the Persian Gulf. And as for an attack on the homeland territory of the United States itself—there wasn’t even a snowball’s chance in the hot place of that. Iran had no blue water Navy— and long before Trump sunk a few coastal vessels.” – David Stockman

Hidden Consequences: The Iran Regional War Is About More Than Just Oil (VIDEO) – Robert Inlakesh / Last American Vagabond  – GOOD HALF HOUR ANALYSIS!!!

Apparently in the United States of Israel you put your senate seat in your will. Lindsey Grahams sister just inherited the US political system and swallowed it whole. – “Who thinks this is bat shit crazy??? And not remotely the political system. All sitting politicians should show us their will. Oh you’re a mayor and die? Whose the new aipac mayor, trustee, judge, AG? Blah blah blah. Noahide decapitator. Oh it’s satan running the show? Why has Lindsey Graham’s sister inherited his Senate seat after his death? The late senator’s sister, the politically inexperienced Darline Graham Nordone, has inherited his office and powers. Because she was there for his speeches. So were these people. Attend a speech in the last decade? You could inherit an AIPAC POSITION IN ANY GOVERNMENT on the planet. It’s ok. Just catch the war ball.” – LawyerLisa

Senate Vote Stuns Netanyahu, Shows Support For Israel Slipping – “This past weekend, Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu was brimming with confidence that the U.S. and Israeli militaries would be merged into a unified partnership by the U.S. Congress due to the presence of Section 224 in the NDAA. But on Tuesday, Netanyahu was shocked and crestfallen by what happened in the U.S. Senate. As stated, the reason for voting against the bill was opposition to Trump’s illegal war of aggression against Iran (which is being fought exclusively for Israel), and no one was unaware of the significance of Section 224 being inserted into the bill. This is an incredible and almost miraculous setback for Israel. Senate Republicans voted unanimously (with the lone exception of Senator John Thune who voted “Nay” for procedural reasons, so he could later make a motion to reconsider the bill) in favor of the bill. Yes, that means Senator Rand Paul voted FOR the bill. A supreme disappointment!” – Chuck Baldwin

The New York Times Owes Nick Shirley an Apology – “Minnesota’s daycare fraud scandal is far from “nothing.” And recent events — criminal convictions, testimony, and a massive fraud crackdown — prove it.” – Jon Miltimore

Nobody Knows the Real Inflation Number – “Depending on which official measure you select, inflation in May was approximately 3%, 4% or 7%. The official Consumer Price Index rose 4.2% over the previous 12 months. So-called “core CPI,” which leaves out food and energy prices, rose 2.9%. The Federal Reserve’s preferred Personal Consumption Expenditures index rose 4.1%, while core PCE (which also excludes food and energy prices) rose 3.4%. Then there are the Atlanta Fed’s sticky- and flexible-price indexes. Sticky-price inflation rose 3.1% Flexible-price inflation rose 7% That is an awfully wide range… But it does not necessarily mean anyone is lying. Each index measures something different. That’s why the numbers disagree.” – Peter Reagan
