THE BIG PICTURE

Ceuta as the bridge too far and the fulcrum of change – “One thing is certain: everywhere clan Soros crops up, this disease spreads. They are the plague rats of institutional and incentive capture and like them or hate them, they are incredibly effective. Spain looks to be in real danger of falling as a nation. They created a mass amnesty for illegal immigrants from places that do not believe in spain but only in tribe and who do not believe in rights but only in who may dominate whom. if one seeks to be a wrecker, it’s a brilliant incentive. pardon a million and give them access to your social safety networks and welfare payments which fund a lifestyle far in excess of where they came from. The media is, predictably, either ignoring this or pretending it’s a humanitarian crisis of families and babies. it’s not. this is damn near all men. and they are not behaving well.” – El Gato Malo

BlackRock’s Larry Fink Says AI Data Centers Are Going To Be The Next Revolution In Finance,’ As Trump Says ‘You Can’t Fight Against’ Data Centers – “”It’s very important because you have to convince your community how great these things [are] — you can’t fight it, you have to go with it,” Trump said.” – The WinePress

The Plot to Poison Farmland with Sewage Sludge… and Then Take It Out of Production – “Companies like DuPont and 3M are knowingly poisoning our water and farmland with PFAS “forever chemicals.” They’re not doing it just for profit, or population control, or to make us sick and tired so we can’t resist their rule. Those are side benefits. They’re waiting for the day when they can say that real food is too toxic, even (especially?) the organic farms need to be shut down, and we have no choice but to eat synthetic food made from genetically modified microorganisms raised on waste. That time is drawing near, so we’re hearing a lot about the problem of PFAS, the government is starting to use it as an excuse to condemn farmland, and the corporate overlords are starting to roll out their Frankenfood solution.” – Alexis Baden-Mayer

Ancient Structures From Canada No One Can Explain! (VIDEO) – “From a prehistoric medicine wheel older than the pyramids and eerie Arctic stone faces to forgotten Indigenous earthworks, mysterious runic carvings hidden deep in the forest, and the terrifying Valley of Headless Men, these incredible places continue to leave archaeologists searching for answers. Some of these mysteries have finally been solved, while others remain as baffling today as they were centuries ago. Let’s dive in.” – Origins Explained

‘Genetically Altered’ Nuclear Monster Sharks Could Be Eating Whales – “Just what we need right now… A mysterious predator has been tearing into whales, seals, and giant tuna off the New York coast, leaving bite marks the size of dinner plates and sparking theories of a radioactive “Sharkzilla” spawned by decades of government nuclear waste dumping. Because nothing says summer 2026 like the possibility that Cold War bureaucrats cooked up a genetically enhanced killing machine in the Atlantic.” – Steve Watson

The First Waves of the Paradigm Shift Have Arrived – “The tsunami hasn’t. Yet. But it’s building. The first warning waves are already eroding the vacationland shore of establishment politics, both in the United States and Europe. I know the US better, so will focus on it. In Maine, an anti-Zionist veteran seemingly came out of nowhere to clinch the Democratic nomination for US Senate, but our kleptocracy and Israel’s minions managed to put the kabosh on him. In Kentucky, the same people were able to scare enough older Boomers and Silents to the polls to defeat libertarian and anti-imperialist Tom Massie in one congressional district. The problem for them is that the paradigm shift away from Empire and towards utter revulsion and contempt for the genocidal apartheid state of Israel is too large, too deep, and too connected to the dialectical materialist contradictions of the US Empire to be contained. Opposition to AI data centers is now the most anti-establishment position a politician can take to guarantee a lot of instant votes for him or her, and socialists are leading the charge.” – Ohio Barbarian

Corrupt and Despotic Ukraine Is Not Worth Fighting WWIII – “This war is about money, not saving ‘democracy.’ Seeing Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelenskyy at Senator Lindsey Graham’s funeral seemed fitting: Z-Man’s money-laundering operation in Kyiv was the proximate cause of Graham’s death. Had the senator not been working so hard to add to the butcher’s bill in Europe, he would still be alive today. Surely there is a lesson here for some people to see.” – J.B. Shurk

‘Kind of madness’: Iran vows to target US, Israeli energy assets if attacked as Trump weighs fresh strikes – “Iran fully prepared’ for retaliation” – Economic Times

Cuba Crisis: Assessing the Claims Against Havana – “When President Donald Trump declared Cuba an “unusual and extraordinary threat” to U.S. national security in a January 2026 Executive Order, the designation was accompanied by a series of sweeping claims. Among them were accusations that Cuba “provides support” to Russia, China, Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah, that it “supports terrorism,” and that the Cuban government supports actors who “seek to destroy the United States.” Claims this broad require clear evidence. The history of disputed intelligence assessments including Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, “yellowcake” uranium, and mobile biological weapons programs, are just a few examples where assertions were made while evidence remained lacking or fabricated.” – Patrick Pillow

ECONOMIC NEWS

One Month of Falling Prices Won’t Restore Price Stability – “June’s PCE report showed prices falling as energy prices retreated, but underlying inflation and nominal spending remain too strong.” – Bryan Cutsinger

The “Paycheck to Paycheck” Problem – “Even before this energy price spike, affordability was a big problem. A structural, long-term trend. Hospital services are up nearly 300% in 26 years. Tuition more than 165%. Daycare costs up 150%. And these are based on government statistics, which always undercount true inflation. There are fluctuations, but the pattern is clear. Steadily higher. As a percentage of income, these items are eating up a bigger piece of the pie.” – Adam Sharp

Government Takes a Stake in 6 More Companies, New Total Is 30 Companies – “The federal government is now acting as regulator, customer, financier, and shareholder. Decisions involving contracts, trade restrictions, permits, and additional subsidies can affect the value of its holdings. Competitors have reason to question whether the playing field is level.This is state capitalism / corporatist industrial policy. Calling it communism overstates the case. However, and unfortunately, it’s more government economic intervention into the markets.” – Mish  – ALSO WHO IS TAKING POSITIONS IN THESE COMPANIES AS WELL, TRUMP, CONGRESS CRITTERS, CORPORATE INSIDERS?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

30-year Treasury yield hits highest level since 2007 after Fed keeps rates unchanged – Sarah Min and Joseph Wilkins

SPR Gets Drained to Dump Crude Oil on Global Markets: US Exports of Crude Oil & Petroleum Products Spike – “Crude oil exports hit a record of 5.7 MMb/d in May, exports of ultra-low sulfur diesel hit a record 1.54 MMb/d, etc.” – Wolf Richter  – SEE MISH’S ARTICLE YESTERDAY FOR MORE ON THE SPR!!!!!!!!

Steve Forbes Issues New Dollar Warning – “A strong dollar sounds like good news. It sounds solid. Responsible. Adult, even. It sounds like the sort of thing a country should want to have, and feel proud of. But unbacked currencies are tricky things. See, currency “strength” is almost always measured in comparison with other currencies – not in comparison with groceries, medical bills, electricity prices or the cost per gallon of gasoline. That means the dollar can look strong against the yen, the yuan or the euro while still losing purchasing power here at home.” – Peter Reagan

 

 

 

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Garlic At Night: Why It’s A Homesteader’s Delight – “Your Body Runs a Night Shift… Garlic Supplies The Crew” – Bill Heid

Five Common Prepper Myths That Could Get You Killed – “There is a lot of good information in the preparedness community. There is also a lot of nonsense. Some bad ideas started in survival fiction, were repeated on blogs and forums, and eventually became accepted as fact by people who never stopped to question whether the ideas made sense in the real world.” – M.D. Creekmore

What You Can Do to Repel Mosquitoes (And Why They Bite Some of Us More Than Others) – “Have you ever wondered why certain people are just mosquito magnets? There are several reasons.” – Daisy Luther

Cashmere Goats – A Homesteader’s Complete Guide – “The first time I ran a metal comb through a goat’s winter coat and pulled out a handful of fiber softer than anything I owned in my closet, I understood exactly why cashmere carries the price tag it does. Cashmere is not a breed name, it is a fiber classification. Per Werner Creek Farm’s account of raising them, goats naturally grow two types of hair: coarse outer guard hairs and a soft, downy undercoat, and any goat producing a fine enough undercoat can be marketed as a cashmere producer regardless of its formal breed. That is why you will see cashmere coming off Spanish goats, ferals, and various meat-breed crosses, not just goats labeled specifically as Cashmere. Purpose-bred cashmere lines do exist, developed specifically for consistent, high-quality down.” – Self-Sufficient Projects Staff
