Bitchute, the UK and modern censorship in action – “Last week, alternative video-sharing platform BitChute announced they would no longer allow UK-based users to view content on their site. The opening of their official statement makes the reason quite clear The UK’s Online Safety Act officially came into force on March 13th, and has already been used to target social media platform Gab to the tune of 20 million dollars. BitChute has every reason to believe they could be next. ” – Kit Knightly  – COMING SOON TO A COUNTRY NEAR YOU. 1984 HAS BEGUN IN EARNEST!!!!

The Trouble with Compulsory Globalism – “There is a complicated story here that speaks to entanglements between states, industry, finance, multinational government structures, and the control of a people over regimes. The Covid experience revealed all. The response was notably global, nearly all nations locking down in the same way at roughly the same time, enforcing the same protocols and issuing the same remedies (more or less).” – Jeffrey A. Tucker

The Cauldron of Wars – “The globalists are the most dangerous threat on the world stage, not just because they are attempting to install a digital prison and make themselves Supreme Lords over the Earth. They are the most dangerous threat because the negative consequences of their actions could trigger a Third World War. With the weapons available to national governments, that far surpasses the Nazi War Machine, the casualties could be in the billions, not millions.” – 009

Megyn Kelly Opens Up On ‘Secret’ Health Battle – “For years, Megyn Kelly has been waging a “secret” health battle that she believes may have begun after being vaccinated against Covid-19, she stated recently. The shock diagnosis by her doctor followed her last vaccination against Covid-19 in 2020 and subsequent strains. She described the unspecified autoimmune effects as “f***ing annoying.” “I just had my annual physical, and it’s still testing positive for autoimmune,” Kelly, 54, said in a new interview. “I really, really regret having gotten the vaccine.”” – Mark Steffen

Refugee. Dissident. Enemy of the State. Would ICE Have Crucified Jesus? – “It has begun, just as we predicted, justified in the name of national security. Mass roundups. Raids. Indefinite detentions in concentration camps. Martial law. The erosion of habeas corpus protections. The suspension of the Constitution, at least for select segments of the population. A hierarchy of rights, contingent on whether you belong to a favored political class. This is what it looks like when the government makes itself the arbiter of who is deserving of rights and who isn’t. Here is what we know: one segment of the population at a time, the Trump Administration is systematically and without due process attempting to cleanse the country of what it perceives to be “undesirables” as part of its purported effort to make America great again.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

ICE Kidnaps Permanent Resident in U.S. for 10 Years on His Way to an Interview to Become a U.S. Citizen – No Warrant, No Criminal Record, No Charges, and Nobody Knows Where He Is – “ICE agents seized a Palestinian student this week, Mohsen Mahdawi, who was a legal permanent resident holding a Green Card, and who had been in the U.S. legally for 10 years. Ironically, he was attending an immigration interview to become a U.S. Citizen in Vermont, something he would not have been able to do if he were here illegally, and if he had not already have resided in the U.S. for many years with no criminal record, in order to earn this interview to become a U.S. Citizen.” – Brian Shilhavy

“It’s a Red Flag” – “Apparently, it has become a “red flag” for law enforcers when a victim of their enforcement insists on asserting their rights under the law. As for instance their right not to hand over ID just because an enforcer demands to see it. The law is that this is the law only when a crime or at least some infraction – such as jaywalking – has been committed or the enforcer has solid grounds for believing a crime or offense has been or is about to be committed Interestingly, it is not a crime for law enforcers to violate this law.” – Eric Peters

American Concentration Camps – “Once a regime starts to send people to concentration camps — including those in El Salvador — it creates a system of detention that eschews due process and disappears citizens into black holes.” – Chris Hedges

Karmelo Anthony’s family starts selling merch, and his fixer pushes ‘celebrity’ status with a bizarre social media video – “Karmelo Anthony’s family is stereotyping again. After taking their financial windfall and renting out a McMansion they could never afford otherwise, reportedly buying a new car, and going on an online shopping spree, they’re now selling merchandise with the teen killer’s image and setting up a website where you can no doubt continue to financially support the Anthony family as they live out their ghetto rags-to-riches lifestyle:” – Olivia Murray – QUITE A SCAM GOING ON HERE.

Poetic Justice For Private Equity – “Undeserved pain for employees. Private equity, like so many other Wall Street “innovations,” is a benign-sounding idea that has morphed into a kind of financial cancer. Let’s see if it kills the patient. First, the concept: Private equity refers to the practice of rich guys pooling their money and hunting for companies to buy. Once they get one, they use their “superior business skills” to “maximize profits.” Unfortunately, those profits flow mostly to the owners, while workers and customers are frequently bled dry.” – John Rubino

Avoiding Garden Overwhelm – “Spend a Small Amount of Time Working in Your Garden Daily. Block out some time every single day (or nearly every day) when you will work in the garden. The amount of time this takes will be determined by the size of your garden. If you’re gardening for two to four people, this may not take as long as it takes us. Breaking this work up into smaller daily tasks makes gardening less overwhelming.” – Carolyn and Josh Thomas

But if you’ve defended yourself with a firearm, the real test begins the moment the sirens start heading your way.

And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.

Rep. Curt Weldon: It’s Time to Finally Tell the Truth About 9-11 (VIDEO) – “After twenty years in congress, Curt Weldon was about to become chairman of the House Armed Services Committee when he publicly questioned the accuracy of the 9-11 report. In retaliation, the Bush administration sent federal agents to his daughter’s house and ended his political career. At 77, Weldon has decided to tell the truth about what actually happened on September 11, 2001.” – Tucker Carlson

A 9/11 Debrief: Tucker Carlson & Curt Weldon – “An American Emergency with a Bloody Nose. I want to make it abundantly clear from the beginning, that I have the utmost respect for Kurt Weldon and what he’s currently embarking on, as it’s high time enough noise gets made regarding the cover-up of the initial NIST Report and the 9/11 Commission Report, but something Tucker Carlson should be made aware of, is the complicity of the 23 NIST subcontractors who wrote scientifically flawed science reports, that made up the 10 000 page NIST Report, in the greater cover-up of WHAT happened on 9/11.” – 9/11 Revisionist

Autism Health Summit Makes Headline News – “A Response to NBC and Mainstream Media. Yet, despite the uplifting and empowering nature of the event, NBC News published an article labeling our Summit as an “anti-vaccine gathering” pushing “false hope.” We were also mentioned by the San Diego Times and HHS in articles that painted a similarly biased picture. But my question is: Why are they so against promoting healing modalities that have proven time and again to work? Let me be clear… I am not an anti-vaxxer. I am a mother who has walked through fire to help my son heal. I do not spread misinformation or false hope. Everything I promote is based on life experience, the stories of hundreds of families, and the clinical expertise of leading professionals in the functional medicine field.” – Tracy Slepcevic

European Apartheid – “The word “apartheid” is like every emotionally charged word in the English language in that the worst people abuse it. In South Africa, it had a real meaning, as it described a real system. The West may need to invent some new words for the multilevel sociopolitical system that is emerging, especially in Europe. The rule of law and equality under the law are being abandoned in favor of a system that is loosely based on American concepts of social justice and social vengeance. In the United Kingdom, for example, there is now a separate set of rules for the white population. Whites, especially white males, are now to be punished more harshly than nonwhites.” – The Z Man

MAHA Has Teeth? – “Yes, And One Hears All Kinds of Interesting Screams From Its Prey” – Celia Farber – CELIA IS STILL WILLING TO GIVE RFK JR A CHANCE. PERHAPS SHE IS RIGHT. I’M STILL HOLDING TO THE WAIT AND SEE APPROACH AT THE MOMENT. REMEMBER, ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS!!!

STUPOR MUNDI – “President Donald Trump wants to be a modern ‘Stupor Mundi or wonder of the world. The last ‘stupor mundi’ was the celebrated German Holy Roman Emperor and crusader, Federick II, known as ‘Barbarossa.’ It appears that President Trump seems determined to become the most important and commented upon person on earth. So far, he has succeeded brilliantly. So far, that is. As of this writing, Trump’s tariff crusade has become a debacle, making him and the United States the objects of hatred and fury around the plant . To many professional money men, it appears that Trump’s Russian roulette with tariffs threatens to bring a serious recession or worse.” – Eric Margolis

The Democrats and whore media’s propagandistic assaults on Trump are endless – “The few real journalists America still has — Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi — are sidelined to their individual Internet shows. Do you remember how accepting the whore media was of President George W. Bush’s claim that he had the power to hold American citizens in prison indefinitely without due process or law, and how accepting the whore media was of President Obama’s execution of American citizens without due process of law? But if President Trump legally deports an illegal alien, the whore media goes berserk over the “injustice.”” – Paul Craig Roberts

China is a Socialist Nation—Make No Mistake – “The US practices Russophobia along with Iranophobia. Western media does not report circumspectly on either nation. Neither Russia nor Iran is ever given a fair shake. It’s the same with China. To be a China, media expert, you must 1st be anti-China. Most of what we hear about China is US state-sponsored propaganda. What are the facts about China? Actual facts, that on American media, we would not encounter.” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

Parents accused of ‘kidnapping’ their own children from state custody after refusing vaccines, and Texas cooperates with their extradition back to deep-blue state of Massachusetts – “This is a redline, high alert story that speaks to the broader issue of parental authority in a supposedly free society. Hopefully this plays out in the courts on favorable terms for this family. What they have experienced to date is way outside the bounds of what anyone in a so-called free country should ever have to endure. Is this the “democracy” that neocons and neolibs are talking about when they say they are “defending our democracy?” If so, I shudder to think what they would define as totalitarian.” – Leo Hohmann

And we’re going to implement mandatory digital identity. Yes, to the surprise of absolutely nobody, the report’s much-anticipated list of “recommendations” amounts to “we should do everything we’ve been planning to do for years”.” – Kit Knightly

Tish James will eat her own words – ““No matter how big, rich or powerful you think you are, no one is above the law.” Those words by New York state Attorney General Letitia James echoed throughout the media, lionizing her after her office secured a judgment against Donald Trump for false business practices, including misrepresentations on loan documents. They may echo even louder this week as James finds herself the subject of a criminal referral for committing alleged financial fraud to secure her own property loans. For an attorney general who just prosecuted Trump for everything short of ripping a label off a mattress, the details in the referrals are particularly damning. The allegations against James run from the demonstrably false to the downright bizarre. In securing a loan for a home in Norfolk, Va., James is accused of claiming through her representative that the property would be her principal residence. However, as “the sitting New York Attorney General of New York [James] is required by law to have her primary residence in the state of New York.” ” – Jonathan Turley  – AMAZING, ISN’T IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Growth Of Ukraine’s Azov Units Follow Path Of The Waffen-SS – “The rise of Nazism in Germany was accompanied by the rise of its armed militants. These were used to fight opposing political parties and militia formations. They were ruthless. The units were later known as the Waffen-SS: After the start of the war the ‘armed evil’ grew further: The Waffen-SS was not part of the regular army. It had its own financial resources. It recruited and trained its own officers through Nazi youth organizations. These were ‘true believers’ . There are a lot of parallels between the rise of the Waffen SS and the Ukrainian Nazi formation known as Azov.” – Moon of Alabama

Be On The Alert For These Insurance Scams – “Let’s face it—insurance is already one of those necessary evils, like flossing or assembling IKEA furniture. You pay for it, you hope you never have to use it, and when you do, you cross your fingers and hope the process isn’t as painful as stepping on a LEGO. But just when you think you’ve got it all figured out, scammers show up with their trickery, ready to part you from your hard-earned cash faster than you can say “deductible.”” – Mary Hunt

Because without another mechanism on top of what’s happening here and there’s a lot going on, multiple flash points. And  again the mechanism is very simple.

John 12:3-8    Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.  Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, which should betray him,  Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?  This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.  Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.  For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.

THE BIG PICTURE

Silver: The Most Abused Money and Intentionally Devalued Commodity – “Is silver the forgotten money, or is this complicated market so corrupt and manipulated that most all have abandoned any connection, mentally and physically, to real money in favor of credit, debt, and fiat currency? It seems obvious that both of these statements are correct. This is not a good sign for the future of economic soundness, as without real money, gold and silver, what is left is only fake money, and fake money is a constant depreciating asset. This is easy enough to understand, when the currency of choice in this country is the ‘dollar,’ which in reality, has lost over 98% of its purchasing power since 1913, the time of the creation of the Federal Reserve. There is much argument about this, but when one looks to the mainstream or so-called ‘fact-checkers’, it is obvious that they either live on another planet, are complete economic ignoramuses, or pathological liars.” – Gary D. Barnett  – WAS GOING TO PUT THIS IN THE ECONOMIC SECTION BUT ACTUALLY, IT IS THE BIG PICTURE!!!

Tax Day Truth Bomb: Where Your Climate Dollars Really Went – “Global emissions are up. Western economies are down. Someone’s winning… and it’s not you. Let’s start with what the data shows. According to the Global Carbon Project, since the year 2000: China’s emissions have soared by over 208%, India’s by 155%, While the U.S. has reduced emissions by 10% and Europe by 16%. At first glance, that might look like climate progress. But it’s anything but.

The conquest of the west – ” A conflict of irreconcilable visions. a society is a people arranged around values, mores, ethics, and norms. Some societies are high function, high trust, high freedom. they allow human flourishing and human safety. they build the modern world and just about all the useful things and innovations in it. Some societies are low trust, nasty, brutish, and oppressive. they organize not around the protection of the individual but the suppression of them. government is the biggest gang and imposes some order on who gets to plunder whom and force things upon them. in general, they do not innovate, produce little. and fail to flourish. These visions are not compatible. There is no compromise possible.” – El Gato Malo

Trump Used ‘Emergency Powers’ to Impose His Tariffs. Should We be Concerned? – “The problem with “America First” economic policy, is that other countries are going to defend their own economic interests, too.

El Salvador’s President Issues the Ultimate Challenge to Trump – “Bukele dropped a line so good, President Trump asked if he could steal it “You have 350 million people to liberate,” he said as a challenge, looking Trump in the eye. This wasn’t just talk. Bukele said it while pointing to how he turned things around in his country, El Salvador. “We turned the murder capital of the world—that’s what the journalists called it—into the safest country in the western hemisphere,” he said.

Zelensky Charms CBS, as Trump Throws Impatient Tantrum – “Today brings us a new 60 Minutes interview with Zelensky, which was rife with ‘interesting’ moments, the first being Zelensky’s proclamation of his undying hatred for Putin: For his part, Trump erupted over the interview, calling CBS a failed station, and other predictable insults. The problem is, Trump has been floundering on his Ukraine position, digging himself a deeper hole out of desperation to save face over the failed talks with Russia. Trump went on the offensive to claim it is Biden’s conflict, after all. But at the same time, he goes on to brag that he was the president to give Ukraine its first big military boost with the Javelins, which won them their ‘first big battle’ and allegedly destroyed a lot of Russian tanks: So, whose war is it, really?

No, a 50-percent tariff doesn’t mean a 50-percent price hike – “The tariff doomsday machine is roaring again. This time, it’s over talk of a 50% tariff on certain imports. Predictably, the panic-peddlers are out in force, warning that such a tariff means retail prices will skyrocket 50%.

Tariffs Trigger Looming Financial Crisis (VIDEO) -“When Trump announced these reciprocal tariffs, he was so proud.

What I said at the time on my podcast is he’s liberating us from our standard of living, from all of our low-cost goods. He’s liberating us from low interest rates, he’s liberating us from our stock portfolios and our equity in those portfolios.‘” – Peter Schiff

When the World Changes: Surviving Environmental TEOTWAWKI – “My wife doesn’t believe in man-made climate change any more than I do. The climate has always been changing. That’s reality. But that doesn’t mean that the world is going to end in the next ten years if we don’t give billions of dollars to government bureaucrats and the more extreme environmental organizations. In reality, I find that the average prepper is just as concerned about the environment as most non-preppers are. In other words, we don’t willingly destroy our environment. More than that, we care about the impact that our environment has on us, which clearly includes environmental TEOTWAWKI events, such as a CME, the eruption of the Yellowstone super-volcano, and a massive asteroid striking the Earth. But it’s not limited to those major disasters, as most smaller disasters are environmental events as well.” – Bill White

Is “De-Dollerization” On The Table? BRICS Summit Approaches As Trade War Simmers – “For many years now I have been talking about the growing global economic divide between East and West. This volatile opposition between the BRICS nations and the US is not a product of the Trump era. It has been decades in the making with a myriad of complex working parts and numerous US trading partners have been preparing for the fallout as far back as 2008. At the same time behind the scenes there have been malicious influences at play: Special interests within the Davos community have been working diligently to undermine the US economy and the dollar. But what is the ultimate aim of this agenda?” – Brandon Smith

Systemic Considerations – “Whatever else you think is happening in our world, contraction is the reality-based order-of-the-day, and everything else is downstream of that. The world has to get by with less. Nothing is going to fix this for everybody, though any number of schemes for redistributing what’s left will preoccupy the political mojo. Right now, it’s tariffs, which are an attempt to restore industry ceded to the formerly left-behind people elsewhere in the world — taking back what we used to do. Many of us are aware that the hour for this is late. We’ve already lived through our decades of pumping cheap oil out of American ground, extracting the ores, fashioning the metal into I-beams and rails, raising the skyscrapers, laying the asphalt ribbons of highway, and strewing the landscape with split-level houses and strip-malls. Let’s not try a re-run of that. What have we got to work with?” – James Howard Kunstler

Arrests Are Imminent! – “Maybe you saw or heard the news that Attorney General Pam Bondi says “Huge Arrest Coming Within the Next 24 Hours.” That was more than 24 hours ago – and the promised “arrest” has not happened. More to the point, the promised arrests have not happened. The arrests of criminals such as the pedophiles on Epstein’s list, for instance. Nor the “COVID” criminals – including Dr. Fauci and the head of Pfizer, Anthony Bourla. They are free to make book deals and give speeches (Fauci) and to continue manufacturing dangerous drugs (Bourla). Gretchen Whitmer and Kathy Hochul and JB Pritzker are still the governors of their respective states, despite having turned their states into police states.” – Eric Peters  – ALL A PART OF THE DOG AND PONY SHOW.

Wild Boars – “The European Zionists who created the modern state of Israel may have been cursed from the beginning, not because they were Jews, but because they were urbanites. In other words, they were not then, and are not now, farmers or ranchers, to use the American term. Americans throughout the midwest and south know what feral pigs can do. Whole service industries have grown up to control wild pig populations, and repairing and protecting farms, ranges and suburbs from their rapacious environmental damage. Americans embrace their natural rights to protect themselves, their children and their property, and to bear arms. Palestinians, on the other hand, live under Israeli laws that do not rest on a written Constitution, but reflect only the shifting needs of Zionism. It is “illegal” for them to bear arms, or otherwise protect their property from settlers, or from the feral pigs those settlers send their way.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

Critiquing President Trump & Musk Has Become SHREWISH – “Why are various Libertarian and conservative news sites becoming so pronounced with anti-Trump rhetoric? Trump has been in office 83 days. And the sour-mouth shrews are everywhere. ” – Helena Glass

A Revocation of Consent – “As Trump approaches the 90 day mark of his second term, there are reasons for encouragement, but there’s also a sense that none of this has gone according to plan. Without criticizing the man, I understand the role of the presidency, especially a controversial presidency. Everything he does has to be defended in court. That’s not something with which Democrat presidents are encumbered. Look at the level of outright criminality taking place in every agency from the FBI itself to the Department of Agriculture and everything in between.” – T.L. Davis

The DOGE Is All Wrong – “You can’t do a wrong thing the right way. What we need is an effective government that does the right thing. The DOGE associated with Elon Musk can’t seem to recognize that you can’t do a wrong thing the right way. If you’re doing a wrong thing, you must stop doing it. Period. Genocidal nuclear missiles are wrong. Stop building them. Genocide in Gaza is wrong. Stop supplying Israel with weapons. Waging war for peace is wrong. Stop doing it. You don’t do it by rewarding it with more money. But that’s exactly what President Trump, Elon Musk, and Congress are doing. They all seek a trillion dollar war budget. They all want the Pentagon to grow and then grow some more.” – Bill Astore

Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Mexico? – “According to press accounts, the Trump administration, which some right-wing libertarians have humorously described as being “antiwar,” is now contemplating dropping bombs on Mexico. Yes, real bombs that kill people and destroy things, just like the bombs that U.S. national-security state officials used to kill people in Iraq, which, like Mexico, never attacked or invaded the United States. More specifically, such a bombing campaign would target drug cartels in Mexico. Make no mistake about it. When one nation-state drops bombs on another nation-state, that is an act of war.” – Jacob G.

Is It Too Late? – “One of the questions rarely asked regarding the ongoing American crisis is whether we have passed the point where reform is possible. Few want to consider that possibility for obvious reasons. If reform through the regular political process is no longer possible, then only unpleasant alternatives remain. One of those alternatives is some form of collapse. Typically, the reason for dumping treasuries is a liquidity issue, either in the system as a whole or in a segment of it. In this case, the consensus is that hedge funds were raising cash due to the market decline. That could be true, but it is also possible the basis trade was unraveling. This is when hedge funds bet on tiny changes in treasury yields—a major way they generate profits within the system. When Trump’s tariffs caused this system to go haywire, triggering a panicked demand for cash, he had no choice but to back off. It was not that the bond market revolted due to a philosophical disagreement with the policy. Rather, this massive system is a house of cards that cannot tolerate even minor disruptions. Trump’s tariff regime should not have caused chaos, but the fact that it did suggests even small changes are no longer viable.” – The Z Man – GOOD EXPLANATION FOR THOSE NOT FAMILIAR WITH HOW THINGS REALLY WORK IN THE MARKETS!!!

Peace In Heaven, Strife On Earth – “Today is Palm Sunday. According to tradition, today we celebrate Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem, surrounded by His followers and disciples. According to the Gospels it was quite a large crowd! All were praising His name. All were giving glory to God. All had heard Jesus’ teachings of mercy and forgiveness and felt uplifted by them. All celebrated Him as the Messiah, as the Christ. All looked longingly and passionately to Him for redemption, for forgiveness, for mercy….for salvation. All were sinners. On this the Sunday before Easter we often hear much about Jesus, about His coming to Jerusalem, about what awaited Him—arrest, crucifixion, death, and resurrection. But what about the people? ” – Peter Nayland Kust

Hateful Curmudgeon – “Sadly, I have now become a hateful curmudgeon. I’ve always been a bit of a curmudgeon, at least since after the age of 60, but only recently have I become hateful. I admit this reluctantly, and I must say that I still consider this description to be largely selective, meaning I don’t think I am hateful to everyone (being a curmudgeon, however, typically applies with no discrimination). And even the word “hateful” isn’t quite accurate. I don’t HATE anyone, for any reason. This is more like disgust, disagreement, and incredulousness (I don’t know if that is even a word). I have come to this realization after several years of personal observation.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP – GOOD ONE FROM TODD AS USUAL.

Democrats Found Their Next Anti-Trump Conspiracy – “You knew it was coming: the next big conspiracy theory about President Trump. They clung to Russia as long as humanly possible, parlayed that into “He’s Putin’s puppet,” and rolled into the idea that he’s corrupt beyond belief without being able to name anyway in which he is, in fact, corrupt, which would seem like a crucial element of a corruption charge. Well, now they’ve collectively come up with a new one, still vague, but new – insider trading. Elizabeth Warren told a reporter, “I think we need a full independent investigation into who was trading, who made money, who knew what and when they knew it.” You know who else has “prior knowledge of what the President would do”? Anyone who paid attention to anything he said about trade and tariffs over the last 20 years, at least. Everything the President has done is everything he said he would do; what he campaigned on.

Man With CZ Scorpion Charged With Pistol Brace Ownership, May Set Dangerous Precedent – “In 2021, the Biden Administration tasked the ATF with targeting and cracking down on firearms equipped with accessories known as “pistol braces.” These accessories were originally designed to allow disabled gun owners to “brace” a handgun against their forearm, aiding in shooting longer and heavier firearms with one hand. According to a study from the Congressional Research Service, up to 40 million of these firearms are in private ownership throughout the country. But that wasn’t going to stop Biden’s Department of Justice and ATF from working to make owners of these pistol-brace-equipped firearms into felons with the stroke of a pen. To do this, ATF decided to reclassify virtually all pistols with stabilizing braces as “short-barreled rifles” Biden’s rule is no longer in effect, and ATF has been ordered not to enforce it. But this hasn’t stopped anti-gun bureaucrats at ATF from attempting to continue to enforce the underlying legal theories that inspired the rule in the first place. And now, we have our first example of this in the case U.S. v. Taranto.” – Gun Owners of America,

Fencing can range from about $200 to $1,500 per quarter mile (1,320 feet), but your selection criteria will involve more than just the cost.

It is certainly a move long past due which will keep us safer together with those 125% tariffs that we will be hitting the Chinks with. But beyond that good news, it has been another interesting week in the fantasy world created and sustained by President Donald J Trump.” – Philip Giraldi

Bill Maher Breaks His Silence on His Private Meeting With President Trump – “You won’t believe what you’re about to hear. Bill Maher just spilled the beans about his private meeting with President Trump on his show, Real Time, describing Trump as “different” in person than he expected. “And I know, as I say, that millions of liberal sphincters just tightened. Oh, my God, Bill. Are you going to say something nice about him? What I’m going to do is report exactly what happened. “You decide what you think about it. And if that’s not enough pure Trump hate for you, I don’t give a f***,” Maher said.” – The Vigilant Fox

Trump Concocted the ‘Tariffs Hoax’ to ‘Decouple’ with China – Mike Whitney

These Are Most Common Types Of Fraud In America – Americans are losing more money to scams than ever before. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) estimates that Americans lost $12.5 billion to fraud schemes in 2024, up $2.5 billion from the previous year. In 2023, consumers around the world lost almost half a trillion dollars to scams.”” – Tyler Durden

Israel is About to Empty Gaza – “The Israeli government, backed by the Trump administration, is laying the groundwork for the full expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza, a move that has the potential to ignite a regional conflagration.” – Chris Hedges

Netanyahu enforces Jewish nazism in Israel. – “Jewish nazism — that’s to say Jewish racist-supremacist expansionist nationalism, or “Zionism” — is now being enforced by the far-righting Israeli President Netanyahu against dissenters in his own military, though not yet as forcefully as Hitler did in his German variety of this ideology (he had such dissenters promptly executed; so, Netanyahu isn’t yet as extremist as Hitler was).” – Eric Zuesse

 

 

 

ECONOMIC NEWS

AMERICA AND THE US DOLLAR ARE DEAD. ITS REALLY OVER… (CRITICAL UPDATES). (VIDEO) – Gregory Mannarino

Trump Plays with Fire – “Bear markets are for the patient few. Those who can resist the countless occasions to lose money. With each bounce comes an opportunity for investors to buy higher so they can later sell lower. Major U.S. stock market indexes continue to deliver whipsaw results. The selloffs are abrupt. While the bounces come with incredible vitality. The timing can be tricky. Dip buyers pile into the rallies and attempt to trade the swings. Others see what look to be discounted share prices. The apparent deals are too good to resist.” – MN Gordon

Dead Bull Walking – “The bull is dead. But no one’s told your portfolio yet. Volatility is flaring. Headlines are swinging from panic to euphoria. One day it’s a crash, the next it’s a 10% rally. Every move feels like a trap. Trump announced a 90-day pause on most tariffs two days ago — a headline that lit up screens and triggered a wave of panic buying. But the truth is, the pause doesn’t matter” – Greg Guenthner

Which is why markets are braced for even more dislocation.” – Bill Blain

Buy Tangible Hard Assets With Your Devaluing Dollars – “While we need dollars to pay bills, purchase consumable supplies, and accumulate savings, the dollar constantly depreciates. The dollar is not an investment; it is only a medium of exchange.” – Ken Jorgustin

Building a prepper food stockpile on a budget: A practical guide for every household – “In an era of unpredictable events and rising costs, building a food stockpile has become a practical strategy for anyone seeking security and peace of mind. If you stockpile food, you can get a sense of security and stability because it is a practical way to ensure your family’s well-being during financial hardships, natural disasters or personal crises.” – Zoey Sky

The Repair Teardown – Part 1 – “My dad lived through the Great Depression on a farm in the western plains of Minnesota. When there was a breakdown of the machinery there was no thought of ordering a replacement from the Sears & Roebuck catalog as they needed it “right now” and not in 4-to-8 months. Their only options were; go to town to the hardware store, or the blacksmith shop, or fix it themselves. I was born and grew up in the city after they sold the farm, but he never abandoned his frugal handyman ways, which I inherited. Although I did not think it was unusual that he would spend an afternoon pulling nails from old boards to save them, it did get my attention.” – R.T.

Government and medical establishment continue to poison our children with mercury and then lie about it to parents – “Thimerosal, an ingredient in several childhood vaccines, is linked to autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders” – Leo Hohmann

UN Shipping Tax to Fuel Global Tyranny – “A powerful but little-known UN agency is quietly plotting to impose global taxes on all international maritime shipping under the guise of fighting CO2 emissions and “climate change.” Americans are expected to pay the bulk of the financial costs. But all of humanity will bear the brunt of a radically empowered UN.  Historically, the UN’s inability to impose taxes has served as one of the most powerful restraints on its power. Once it has direct access to money without being forced to beg its member governments, it can fund “peace” armies, police, courts, bureaucracy, social-engineering, propaganda, and more essentially without limit.” – Alex Newman

Scientists Shocked: World’s FIRST Peer-Reviewed Paper Confirms Pfizer mRNA Vaccine Contaminated with DNA and Dangerous SV40 Enhancer (VIDEO) – “We finally have it—the very first published scientific evidence showing that the mRNA vaccine, Pfizer vaccines, were contaminated with bacterial plasmid DNA” – Aussie17

Steve Kirsch Claims He Has “The Inside Scoop” About RFK Jr.’s Surface Level Party Line Speak On MMR For “Measles” – “”Has RFK Gone Rogue” His Piece Asks—Comments Mostly Support Support And Patience, But Some Are Never Returning To The Fold. I think “Inside Scoop” was overplayed. No sources, named or unnamed, very vague, no details. What I see: Kirsch got The Phone Call, and was essentially asked to tell people to stay calm, and know that RFK Jr. is playing the long game, has his reasons, has a strategy, the new CDC Director is sound, etc etc. We have heard this before. My beef is this: A) If this was so important, as wartime messaging, why couldn’t the very wealthy Steve Kirsch make it free content?” – Celia Farber – GOOD POINT FROM CELIA. I THINK THAT BOTH KIRSCH AND MALONE ARE  CONTROLLED OPPOSITION!!

President for Life – “Not quite three months into Trump’s second term and there is talk – some of it emanating from Trump himself – about a third term. What that talk is really saying is that Trump may be considering a presidency for life. The kind that Idi Amin, the “president” of Uganda had. Well, why not? The hideous truth is we already have a de facto Idi Amin presidency and it preceded the inauguration of Trump (both of them). The president has not been the thing described in the Constitution for hundreds of years, at least since the presidency of John Adams ” – Eric Peters

The enemy of US industry Looking inward. – “I’d like to offer three important perspectives on US manufacturing that are seemingly absent in these hyperbolic times as the jingo of trade war drums is intersecting with populist mythology on trade: the idea that “US manufacturing is gone/has hollowed out” is not factually correct. it simply changed and moved as evolving industries do. US industrial output was like a bird hitting a window in 2008 and has not grown since. this change was abrupt and broke a long term tend from the 1940’s to now and there has been no recovery from it. this was not a result of tariffs or foreign action: it was caused domestically with bad energy and labor policy, over support of unions, and horrible litigation risks and hurdles especially driven by the EPA and other federal agencies. So long as this issue remains unresolved (and it does), if the world moved to 100% free trade tomorrow with no country limiting US goods and the US limiting no goods from any nation, this would not drive an onshoring of industry to the US. it would drive more industry offshore because that’s how comparative advantage works” – El Gato Malo

There’s Nothing Free about ‘Free Trade’ – “How “free” can international trade be if its proponents depend upon a labyrinthine system of rules that requires thousand-page treaties and guidance from the United Nations, the World Trade Organization, the Export-Import Bank of the United States, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, central banks galore, the Bank for International Settlements, international standards organizations, law firms (and more)…” – J.B. Shurk

Migrants Told to Self-Deport or Pay Hefty Fines – “Ironic or deserved – sending them home the way they came. ” – Kelli Ballard

What’s This? Actual Application Of The Law? – “The Trump Administration has announced intent to actually apply the law for once. Which law? The law in 1996 that states that overstaying a visa, or otherwise remaining the US after being ordered removed, carries a civil fine of $998 per day of non-compliance, with a statue of limitations of five years (which is common to many offenses.) That’s a maximum (assuming five years) of $1,821,350 by the way, if you don’t have a calculator handy (365 x 5 x $998) Oh by the way, in case you forget, Bill Clinton was the one who signed that bill into law in 1996 so spare me any invective about how “mean” the GOP is. ” – Karl Denninger

It’s Time For Christian Zionists To Put Their Money Where Their Mouth Is – “Since Israel broke the ceasefire agreement and resumed its genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza almost a month ago, the IDF is deliberately and wantonly slaughtering over 100 precious, innocent little children every day. And there is barely a peep of protest by so-called Christians. And why should we expect anything different? Evangelical “Christians” have cheered for Israel’s mass murderous genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people from the beginning—going all the way back to 1947. All over America, evangelicals—in public and private—justify this murderous carnage in Palestine on the outlandish and cultic belief that the Zionist State of Israel is a revived Old Testament Israel” – Chuck Baldwin

Russia–Iran–China: All for one, and one for all? – “Although perhaps not yet obvious to Washington, a US war on Iran will be viewed as one against Russia and China too. Both Putin and Xi know that Trump’s war is singularly directed at the transformational global ‘changes they are driving together.'” – Pepe Escobar

Iran’s regime unlikely to back down as Trump plays with fire – “The real worry now for Iran, China and the rest of the world is that Trump’s second term in office is more isolationist.” – Martin Jay

Austin Metcalf and the Endless Race War – “Recently, a young Black male killed another young White male. This is hardly news, seeing as how every day, young Black males kill. It’s a ‘hood workout. The apparent motive in this case, was that the young Black male felt “disrespected.” In ghetto culture, you don’t accept “disrespect.” You have to respond, too often in a deadly way. Now why this story has become national news is puzzling. But they did report this one. Why? And the reaction has been predictable; uniform and irrational Black solidarity online. I’m sure Joy Reid and the shrews from The View will be chiming in soon. There is no other racial group that would attempt to justify cold blooded murder. You couldn’t find a single White person on earth defending this killer, if the races were reversed. This case is as cut and dry as can be. A knife to the heart for being asked to move from a restricted area? This is the problem we face, and have faced for a very long time. It’s why I have African American Fatigue Syndrome (AAFS). We have to pretend that Blacks don’t kill Whites and Asians far, far more often than the reverse. If any White person kills any Black person, you’ll know, because it will become front page news.” – Donald Jeffries

What we should be wondering about IRS head’s resignation – “I think that, by now, it’s pretty clear that the Trump administration has a set of priorities that focus on illegal immigration, international trade, and removing absolutely anything that falls under the category of waste, fraud, and abuse. Everyone knows this. It’s obvious. Which is why it’s hilarious to me that the acting head of the IRS quit because of an agreement to share data with immigration officials. I find it interesting how many people would rather be without a job than do as they’re instructed by the Trump administration. Then they can go on and pretend to be the victim because they couldn’t do what their boss told them to do. If I don’t do what my bosses tell me to do, I get fired. That goes for everyone else.” – Tom Knighton

Bathwater, Baby, and Silver – “Crashes like this one are fire sale scenarios. Everything goes. For the most part, it doesn’t matter how cheap or insulated the asset is. Even hedges like gold and silver get sold. Panic rules the day. This is the stage where leverage unwinds, and it does so violently. In other words, all the people who were long stocks on margin (debt) either sell or get liquidated. Price becomes irrelevant. Getting out is the only thing that matters. Those who owned 2x and 3x long ETFs sell in a panic. All of this leverage unwinding has a cascading effect across markets. ‘ – Adam Sharp
