Trump CDC Director Nominee Touts ‘Safe and Effective’ mRNA Tech, Vows to ‘Never Betray the Science’ – “Last week’s CDC Director confirmation hearing was an unmitigated dumpster fire from start to finish. Firstly, as these spectacles always go — despite 75% of Americans suffering from a chronic health condition, per CDC’s own data, almost none of which have anything to do with infectious disease — at least 90% of the questions from the Congress members pertained to vaccines.” – Ben Bartee

In 2024, the United States spent approximately $5.3 trillion on healthcare, about $15,474 for every person in the country. Yet chronic illness continues to rise, millions of Americans struggle to access consistent primary care, and families are increasingly questioning whether our healthcare system is truly designed to keep people healthy.” – Tracy Slepcevic

Creating the Imperative Narrative: The Newspaper Archive Search [History Heist PART 2] – “In the last part of this series, I shared with you the story of how history was literally stolen so that it could be altered or destroyed. That research inspired me to perform a newspaper archive search to see if there were any publications regarding lost, stolen, or destroyed historical records, and I couldn’t believe what I found…” – Agent131711  – AGENT131711 CONTINUES HIS DIVE!!!!

The Woman Who Came Back: What One Dose of Psilocybin Revealed About the Self We Thought Alzheimer’s Had Erased – “After ten years of Alzheimer’s and five years of near-silence, an 80-year-old woman took a single high dose of psilocybin mushrooms—and, roughly nineteen hours later, began to speak about her life for hours. She was not cured. But she was, unmistakably, still there. The question that leaves us with may be the most important one in all of neuroscience.” – Sayer Ji

Iran Has President Trump on a Hopeless Walk through the Quagmire of Unending War – “Crude prices are set to rise a lot more—Goldman Sachs says $120/bbl—and Trump has no clear path out of the problems he’s walked into.” – David Haggith

Trump Is NOT A Reluctant War President – “One of the dumbest popular narratives you see today is the idea that Zionists persuaded a reluctant Trump to start a war with Iran after he was re-elected, like they were chasing him around going “Would you like to bomb Iran?” like the guy from Green Eggs and Ham while he yelled “Not in a…” – Caitlin Johnstone

Trump Says Salafi Head Choppers in Syria will Disarm Hezbollah – “Ahmed al-Sharaa’s jihadi terrorists no match for Hezbollah.” – Kurt Nimmo

Reflections From the Heart of the Empire: Dances with Absurdity – “The Iranians once again said they were ready to welcome an American ground invasion. Sorry, Iran, but where would we invade you from? The sea’s out, since we can’t even keep the Strait of Hormuz open if y’all want it closed—that’s been amply demonstrated. In spades. What’s that leave? Iraq, Turkey, Russia, Azerbaijan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. There’s this assumption by so many that the US is even capable of starting a ground invasion of Iran. ” – Ohio Barbarian  – THE BARBAIAN’S WEEKLY REFLECTION. GOOD READ ONCE AGAIN!!

Reviving the Old Cold War Racket Against Cuba – “The State Department just issued a report that is straight out of the old Cold War playbook. It states that Cuba’s communist regime is behind the democratic socialist movements and radical leftist groups here in America. In other words, the Reds are coming to get us … again! Everyone needs to start looking under his bed for a Red … again! And Cuba, which is located only 90 miles away from American shores, is clearly the spearhead of the international communist conspiracy that is determined to take over America … again!  The Cold War racket was the best thing that ever happened to the Pentagon, the CIA, and the NSA, the three principal components of the U.S. national-security state. By striking deep fear of the Reds within the American people after World War II,” – Jacob G. Hornberger

U.S.-Saudi nuclear deal risks Middle East arms race – “President Donald Trump has approved an agreement with Saudi Arabia that could provide the kingdom with uranium enrichment capability without the safeguards necessary to stop materials being used in nuclear weapons programs. The 123 Agreement as it is known includes non-proliferation requirements in line with the UN International Atomic Energy Agency, but excludes the “Gold Standard”, which blocks uranium enrichment” – Phil Bainbridge – ONLY THE COUNTRIES WE WANT CAN HAVE THE BOMB OR CAPABILITIES, BUT WE WILL GO TO WAR AGAINST ANYONE ELSE. MAKES SENSE, RIGHT!!!!!!

Trump’s Saudi Deal Is a Terrible Idea – “Trump’s agreement undermines our government’s commitment to nonproliferation, and it rewards one of the worst governments in the world with advanced nuclear technology.” – Daniel Larison

Chilling New Clues Challenge Suicide Claim In Los Alamos Lab Worker’s Death – “Fresh evidence recovered from the remote New Mexico forest where Los Alamos National Laboratory administrative assistant Melissa Casias was found has blown major holes in the suicide narrative.” – Steve Watson

The Money Printers Fueling Socialism’s Rise – “Here’s a graph the Keynesians, statists, and Wall Street gamblers—yes, we repeat ourselves—would prefer not to explain. At the same time, it also explains why socialism at this late date in history—and after all its abysmal failures the world over—is having some kind of dubious second coming in America. During the last three decades the national savings rate (red line) has essentially collapsed, having fallen from 6.3% of GDP in 1997 to 0.5% of GDP in 2025. Between the same two dates, however, the net worth of US households (blue line) has soared from 4.6X personal income to 6.5X personal income. In economist jargon, the question would recur as follows: How in the world over a three-decade period did the stock of wealth soar when the flows of savings virtually evaporated?” – David Stockman

Why is anyone taking these people seriously? – “Socialism in the United States is nothing new. For as long as it’s existed, there have been people in this country who wanted it. Like I said, nothing new. But throughout most of my lifetime, socialists got shunted to the side in serious politics because their ideas were absolutely retarded. It was, to put it as generously as I can, communism lite. All of the same economics, but with slightly better packaging. Democratic socialism, as personified by people like Bernie Sanders, takes the packaging of a turd and adds sprinkles to it.” – Tom Knighton

Socialist Mamdani Concedes NYC Can’t Arrest Netanyahu, Breaking Another Campaign Promise – “Mamdani said his administration reviewed every available legal option but maintained that Netanyahu is “not welcome” in NYC. President Trump said Monday that Netanyahu would not be arrested anywhere in the U.S., while Israel’s U.N. ambassador accused the socialist, pro-Islamist Mamdani of promoting Hamas propaganda. During last year’s campaign, Mamdani promised fellow socialists and Islamists that he would order city police to arrest Netanyahu under the ICC warrant. That pledge now adds to a growing list of unfulfilled promises, including lower rents, free buses, and other proposed handouts.” – Tyler Durden

Democrats Brace for the Return of Kamala Harris – “Maybe the third time’s the charm?” – Tim Donner

“Prepare Yourself For The Ending” (VIDEO) with Bill Holter – “If you know what the ending is, you prepare yourself for the ending. If you understand why you own the metal, the purpose of having capital outside of the system, you should be able to relax a little bit. And if you have funds that are still in the banking system or still in the system, now is a perfect opportunity to get those funds out of the system into metal into your hands with no counterparty risk and no default risk.

Inflation Fell – Here’s Why Your Bills Didn’t – “Most families do not need a government report to tell them the cost of living remains too high. They see it at the grocery store.

The Fatwood Myth: Why Most “Fire Starter” Trees People Identify Aren’t Actually Rich in Resin – “Anyone who has spent time around campfires or bushcraft forums has heard the promise: find a pine stump, shave off a few slivers, and you have an instant fire starter that lights even in the rain. That promise sits at the heart of what I call the fatwood myth, the widespread belief that almost any old pine stump, dead branch, or weathered knot is packed with the same resin saturated wood that made longleaf pine famous across the American South.” – Bob Rodgers

LDS Preparedness Manual: What It Is, Who Compiled It, and Is It Still Relevant? -“The LDS Preparedness Manual is a free, unofficial 500-page preparedness compilation put together in 2012 by Christopher M. Parrett, not an official publication of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Its food storage and mindset guidance still holds up well, but coverage of technology, energy, and pandemic planning reflects a pre-2020 world.” – Lisa Bedford
