THE BIG PICTURE

Wife of Dr. Anthony Fauci reassigned from NIH to Indian health service’s regional posts – “Christine Grady, the wife of Dr. Anthony Fauci, was among several top officials who were notified they were being reassigned from the National Institutes of Health to regional offices of the Indian Health Service. Ms. Grady served as chief of the Clinical Center’s Department of Bioethics in Bethesda, and like many of her colleagues, were given until Wednesday to decide whether to accept their new assignment, which is responsible for providing federal health services to American Indians and Alaska Natives, or quit their jobs, The New York Times reported.” – Kerry Picket

Was Christine Grady Fired Or “Re-Assigned?” – “And How Did Robert Gallo Come Up With HIV As The Cause Of AIDS? Answer: He Wrote It Into Being, Despite It Not Being. Robert Gallo, Anthony Fauci, William Haseltine, and thousands of other “AIDS researchers,” laid the foundation for the HIV terror which was based on demonstrable fraud by Gallo. By “fraud” I mean that Gallo reversed, by his own hand, the conclusions of his lab assistant who found no “retrovirus,” nor particles, nor “cause of AIDS,” in the very sample which set off the multi-trillion dollar money laundering that came to be known as “the fight against AIDS,” which later spawned Covid. Covid, by contrast, did not even have a corrupt father scientist or a preposterous causation theory. It just came straight out of AI.” – Celia Farber

Meltdown at the FDA while 23 States, 2 Governors +DC Sue HHS/Sec Kennedy- ” In the meantime, the PREP Act declaration for covid pandemic remains in place..” – Sasha Latypova

“The FDA Is Finished” – ” It’s good news for Americans and possibly the rest of the world who suffer under the weight of pharmaceutical terrorism. Stocks are falling heavily in the drug industry; people are losing money for participating in the disease and death-causing industry. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced his plans to slash 10,000 full-time employees across departments last week. In addition to the 10,000 employees who opted to leave, this brings down the total number of staff from 82,000 to 62,000, including 3,500 at the FDA. No one was spared in the Tuesday cuts that swept across leadership, longtime staffers, scientists, and administrators. “It’s a bloodbath,” a U.S. Food and Drug Administration employee said. Not enough blood for me after reading:” – Dr. Sircus

Pollinator and Civilizational Collapse – “Why. And how it will crush us. Pollinators – including honeybees, native wild bees, butterflies, moths, flies, beetles, birds, and bats – are crucial for ecosystems and agriculture. An estimated 75% of the world’s food crop and wild flowering plant species depend to some extent on animal pollination. Yet pollinator populations are in global decline, raising alarms for biodiversity, agriculture, and nutrition. Many insect pollinators are in serious decline globally. ” – Sarah Connor

Why Trump just saved Big Pharma in Ireland – “Tariffs day surprise. By exempting one industry it served to shine a torch on the industries he didn’t save but targeted. The end result, whether by accident or design, means the United States is attacking Ireland’s traditional and native exporting sectors – agricultural and drinks industry and others – while simultaneously giving a rain-check to Big Pharma and US corporate interests here.” – Gerry O’Neill

Dutch Government Makes Shrimp Fishermen an “Offer They Can’t Refuse” – “Almost a third of Dutch shrimp fishermen have now applied for the government to buy out their boats. In 2022, the Dutch government practically declared shrimp fishermen “illegal” after using a nitrogen-calculation model called AERIUS to decree that their nitrogen emissions needed to be reduced to near zero.” – Elze van Hamelen – THE CLIMATE SCAM DESTROYS ANOTHER INDUSTRY!!!!

A healthy young woman went from Fever, Chills, and Body Aches to Dead in an ICU in three days in 2020.

Node Without Consent – “The Battle Against 6G and the Internet of Bodies. Imagine discovering that your neurons – the very cells that make you you – could be transformed into networked data points, each one monitored and potentially controlled by microscopic machines. At the same time, your genetic code – your biological blueprint – is being bought, sold, and potentially auctioned to the highest bidder in bankruptcy proceedings. This isn’t science fiction. ” – Joshua Stylman

Betrayal – “The Pharmaceutical Hospital Emergency Industrial Complex has betrayed your trust in them. Your government has betrayed you by blocking the path to justice with the PREP Act. HELP EXPOSE THESE CRIMES.” – James Roguski

Microscopic analysis suggests unknown biological contaminants falling from the sky – “Researchers found microscopic web-like structures, egg-like diploid particles, and multicellular clusters in Florida air samples, suggesting engineered or biological contaminants. Findings raise suspicions about atmospheric spraying (e.g., stratospheric aerosol injection) and undisclosed biological components, citing past bioweapon precedents like Lyme disease and SARS-CoV-2.” – Finn Heartley

You Have To Allow That… – “Trump may pull a rabbit out of the hat. But along the way consider there may be no rabbit and no hat. I was just listening to Scott Bessent droning on how cheap goods is not in the American ethos. That’s certainly the case when your nation is de-industrialized and dependent on foreign goods that are being tariffed/sanction, across the board. And that peacenik, Trump going after Yemen, while threatening Russia with sanctions and Iran with oblivion—does anyone in his posse ask what business of it, is his? Where, exactly, in the US Constitution is the Executive mandated to militarily threaten nations engaged in oil trade? Or, the bombing of Yemen: what is the rationale for destroying a nation that is not going after your merchant marine ships (you have none), and JD Vance saying we are doing it for Europe. That’s BS—we are doing it for Israel.” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com  – ANOTHER GOOD READ FROM ERIK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

President Trump: Pick a Side, BRICS+ or Deep State – “Escalating defenses around Iran per the will of the Zionists will be the demise of multiple countries across the globe including The Americas and most of Europe. Escalating peace and trade with the BRICS will move America into the New Empire of the 21st century. ” – Helena Glass

War Is Hell – “War is an “unpleasant business.” That two-word euphemism reflects the divergent experiences of two separate groups: those who profit from violence and those who experience violence firsthand. For anyone in the latter group, war is hell. That’s how Civil War general William Tecumseh Sherman described it, and he was an expert in the subject. He set everything ablaze on his marches through the South. Scorched-earth conquests are meant to break the spirit of opposing soldiers and civilians alike, and Sherman broke everything in his sight. Sherman’s effectiveness in demoralizing Southerners influenced military minds around the world and shifted military war planning toward tactics that would define the “total wars” to come. Psychological warfare, industrial sabotage, the destruction of civilian infrastructure, and even the targeting of noncombatants became standard practices of war in the twentieth century. Eighty years after WWII and over a century since the conclusion of a conflict so savage and awful that witnesses simply called it the “Great War” out of an expectation that there could never possibly be another so vile, we sit on the precipice of a third world war that will eclipse the twentieth century’s mass slaughter. ” – J.B. Shurk

Futures Tumble As President Trump Delivers “Declaration Of Economic Independence” – ““Well we have some very, very good news today,” Trump began his address exclaiming that “This is Liberation Day.” “In a few moments, I will sign a historic Executive Order, reciprocal tariffs on countries throughout the world. Reciprocal. That means they do it to us and we do it to them. Very simple. Can’t get any simpler than that.”” – Tyler Durden

The World Wobbled, Cracked and then Burst into Flames – ““What was delivered was as haphazard as anything this administration has done to date, and the level of complication on top of the ultimate level of new tariffs is worse than had been feared and not yet priced into the market,” said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B. Riley Wealth Management…. Sad are the market maniacs and mavens who thought they’d take one last ride up the big hill. Sadder still are they likely to be tomorrow coming down it to find the tracks are out right after the top, though market ignorance apparently knows no bounds, so who knows?

Not really. Debt is still soaring, political systems are still descending into chaos, trust in major institutions continues to erode, and strange, inexplicable events keep occurring. An equities bear market only adds to the urgency with which the world’s major governments are choosing inflation as a form of damage control.” – John Rubino

They can often be found sunning themselves on rocks, trails, or other open spaces. This is nature’s way of helping them regulate their body temperature after months of cold-blooded dormancy. Unfortunately, these early-season basking sessions can put snakes and humans on a dangerous collision course.” – Bill Heid

THE BIG PICTURE

Choose Your Destiny – “What do you hope is your destiny? How do you want your life to unfold? I venture to say that all of us ponder these questions many times in our lives. With or without a particular faith, I doubt it is possible for anyone to live a life and not wonder what direction that life is taking. While none of us are ever in total control of our lives, we always are in command of our choices. We choose how to respond to events that unfold both good and bad. We choose whether to lash out in anger or to respond with reason.” – Peter Nayland Kust  – GOOD ONE FROM PETER!!

Driving Us to 15 Minute Cities – “It is no longer possible to find a new car for less than $20,000. Soon it will probably be difficult to find one under $30,000 – thanks to the 25 percent tax that will be folded into the cost of just about every car (and crossover) with a price around $25,000. Not to mention most trucks, too. Because almost all of those are not made in the United States, either – and they will all be hit with the 25 percent tax Trump likes to call a “tariff,” so as to try to get people to not think they’re paying it. And how much will they be paying for this tax? Bloomberg estimates the per car cost – for cars not made in the United States – will be in the vicinity of $5,855. $5,855 may not sound like all that much if you’re flush enough to be able to afford a luxury car at current prices. But there will be additional costs not mentioned in news coverage of Trump’s plan to increase the cost of vehicles – luxury and otherwise – by 25 percent in order to (somehow) make America great again. The more honest term for “Freedom Cities” is 15 Minute Cities, i.e., open air prisons where you’re nominally “free” to move around as you like but only so far as you’re physically able. And that could be the intent behind all of this – even if it is not intentional.” – Eric Peters  – AS  STATED ON THURSDAY, DEPENDING ON THE CAR IT COULD EASILY ADD $10,000 TO THE PRICE. AND AS ERIC STATES YOUR CAR INSURENCE WILL BE GOING UP AS WELL. HIS POINT ABOUT 15 MINUTE CITIES COULD BE SPOT ON!!!!!!

Ultra-Processed Life – “The digital realm, finance, and junk food have something in common: they’re all ultra-processed, synthetic versions of Nature that have been designed to be compellingly addictive, to the detriment of our health and quality of life. In focusing on the digital realm, money (i.e. finance, “growth,” consuming more as the measure of all that is good) and eating more of what tastes good, we now have an Ultra-Processed Life. All three– the digital realm, money in all its manifestations and junk food–are all consumed: they all taste good, i.e. generate endorphin hits, and so they draw us into their synthetic Ultra-Processed World.” – Charles Hugh Smith

The Big Picture & the Decline of The West – ““The West” — the U.S.-and-‘allied’ (i.e., colonies) countries — are shrinking as a percentage of global GDP PPP (Gross Domestic Product at Purchasing-Power-Parity, this being the real measure of an economy). Their approximately 2,000 billionaires, whose percentage of that national wealth has been increasing while that of their countries are declining, are becoming less and less dependent upon exploiting the entire world. Thus, these billionaires are becoming more and more dependent upon exploiting their own people — their domestic population of workers and consumers. It is the stage of imperial over-reach.” – Eric Zuesse

The title symbolized the loss of traditional English culture due to ‘Americanization’, such as increasing commercialism, consumerism and materialism. It also referred to the UK’s economic struggles, including inflation, industrial disputes and debates about joining the European Economic Community. And the title used a pun on ‘pound’ as both currency and weight, emphasizing the commercialization of British identity. Much has changed in the 52 years since that album was released. There is not much left of Britain to sell after decades of neoliberal globalization.” – Colin Todhunter

The Department of Defense tentacles reach everywhere. With so many so dependent on DOD handouts, there is no one left to protest.” – Paul Craig Roberts

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

Take a little walk to the edge of town
and go across the tracks
Where the viaduct looms,
like a bird of doom
As it shifts and cracks
Where secrets lie in the border fires,
in the humming wires
Hey man, you know
you’re never coming back
Past the square, past the bridge,
past the mills, past the stacks
On a gathering storm comes
a tall handsome man
in a dusty black coat with
a red right hand

He’ll wrap you in his arms,
tell you that you’ve been a good boy
He’ll rekindle all the dreams
it took you a lifetime to destroy
He’ll reach deep into the hole,
heal your shrinking soul,
but there won’t be a single thing
that you can do
He’s a god, he’s a man,
he’s a ghost, he’s a guru
They’re whispering his name
through this disappearing land
But hidden in his coat
is a red right hand

You don’t have no money?
He’ll get you some
You don’t have no car?
He’ll get you one
You don’t have no self-respect,
you feel like an insect
Well don’t you worry buddy,
’cause here he comes
Through the ghettos and the barrio
and the bowery and the slum
A shadow is cast wherever he stands
Stacks of green paper in his
red right hand

You’ll see him in your nightmares,
you’ll see him in your dreams
He’ll appear out of nowhere but
he ain’t what he seems
You’ll see him in your head,
on the TV screen
And hey buddy, I’m warning
you to turn it off
He’s a ghost, he’s a god,
he’s a man, he’s a guru
You’re one microscopic cog
in his catastrophic plan
Designed and directed by
his red right hand

( Red Right Hand by Nick Cave, Thomas Wydler and Mick Harvey )
