SOMETHING IS ROTTEN IN THE STATE OF AMERICA – “”On Sunday morning I was driving to my son’s house in the Manayunk section of Philly. I passed a Sunoco station charging $5.00 a gallon for regular gas. That triggered my curiosity. How come I had never seen a gas price of $5.00, when a barrel of oil hit $147 in July 2008 and $139 in March 2022? Something is fundamentally wrong, corrupt, and suspicious about the price of oil being reported everyday by the government and media, and the price us peasants are paying at the pump to fill up our automobiles, to go to our jobs, and try and earn a living, while government/Fed created inflation degrades our standard of living, making it impossible to get ahead. I have my suspicions regarding this pricing anomaly. The price of oil is being artificially suppressed by Trump draining our Strategic Petroleum Reserve (remember Trump screaming about Biden doing the same thing) and selling it on the world market.” – Jim Quinn

The Genesis Mission – Using Taxpayer Funds For Data Centers & Public Technology Innovation – “When you realize the Powers That Be don’t give a flying fark about The People: The President has stated he doesn’t care about the finances of US citizens, Congress decided the best way to put a lid on it was to have Mike Johnson declare insider trading is essential because they can’t afford to live on their $174,000 salary plus perks while working 130 to 160 days a year. And we call this “Democracy”. I doubt America has functioned as a democracy since its inception.” – Helena Glass

The Too-Long Goodbye – “Last week, Stephen Colbert celebrated his May 21 departure from late-night TV by French-kissing his fellow late-night soul-mate hosts goodbye, perhaps to honor the French origins of the Woke political ideology that guided his rocket flight to fame —So, bonne nuit and au revoir, Monsieur Colbert, and don’t let the CBS screen door bump your ass on the way out. Few public figures in our time have done as much damage to the collective mental health of our country than Colbert did in his late-night operations.” – James Howard Kunstler

US Rep. Thomas Massie’s primary tomorrow is a Test of US Sovereignty – “Tomorrow we are going to learn if it is possible for a US Representative to represent his constituency and America’s interest instead of Israel’s and remain in office. President Trump, of course, is acting for Israel and has dumped the demeaning language Trump has brought to the presidency all over Massie, calling him “a totally ineffective loser” and the “worst and most unreliable Republican Congressman in the history of our country.” Massie, like Marjorie Taylor Greene, was a strong Trump supporter, but also like Greene refused to back off his criticism of Israel’s behavior, with the consequence that Trump turned on them viciously.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Iran War vs. Epstein Files – “Politician whose background is secret challenges one who released Epstein files. There’s a heated primary election for Congress this Tuesday that is nothing short of a referendum on “national security.” Fittingly, one candidate’s background is almost entirely unknown because, he claims, it’s classified. His name is Ed Gallrein, a Trump-backed retired Navy captain challenging incumbent Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky. The focus of Gallrein’s campaign (and one of the few things he seems willing to talk about) is his claim of having served in SEAL Team 6, the secretive commando group most famous for the killing of Osama bin Laden. He certainly knows how to operate in the shadows: I can count on one hand the number of interviews Gallrein has sat down for, and he’s skipped literally every debate, each attended alone by Massie.” – Ken Klippenstein

Shortages Are Coming – “The Strait of Hormuz has been closed for 79 days. Most people haven’t noticed. They will. 11 million barrels a day stopped moving. The IEA called it the largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market. Gasoline is $4.53 nationally. Diesel is $5.65. You already know that part. What you don’t know yet is what comes next. This isn’t an oil story. It’s a cascade. Every refinery that processes crude produces sulphur as a byproduct. Sulphuric acid is the most produced industrial chemical on earth. It’s used in fertilizers, copper mining, semiconductor manufacturing, uranium extraction, lead-acid batteries, EV battery production and so much more. ” – Doug Casey & Matthew Smith

Even the Fed Is Warning Us About Inflation – “When a Federal Reserve official says inflation is “the most pressing risk to the economy,” it’s worth paying attention – not because Americans needed another warning, but because many families have been living with that reality for years now. Higher prices do not arrive as an economic theory. They arrive as grocery receipts. Insurance premiums. Prescription co-pays. Utility bills. Car repairs that cost more than they used to. A quick stop at the store that somehow turns into $83 before you’ve bought anything that feels like a meal.” – Peter Reagan

Spiking Gold, Silver, And Bond Yields Signal Approaching Crisis – “Gold and silver running higher in price have historically warned of currency debasement and price inflation thereby forcing interest higher. Witness the 1970s where interest rates ran to 20% before gold and silver prices cooled off. By forcing interest rates higher and ending central bank loose money parties for financial markets, gold and silver were not well received by financial market players.” – David Jensen

THE BIG PICTURE

The Trump Hustle: Distraction, Deception and the Heist of the American Economy – “Call it what it is: a heist. The corruption, cronyism, and self-dealing that now define the American government—under Donald Trump in particular—amount to a slow-motion stick-up carried out in broad daylight. But here’s the trick: it’s a heist hidden behind spectacle. The Trump administration is flooding the stage with noise so “we the people” don’t notice what’s happening behind the curtain. We’re being manipulated into watching the wrong thing. The distractions are part of the plan to rob us blind.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

Suicidal Empathy – “(It’s exactly what it sounds like). I know it’s been the cute new pose of the intellectual to play semiotic games to deconstruct the term “suicidal empathy” and pretend it lacks meaning, but let’s not lose the essence of the the issue in amongst the word games of academia and twitterati: To fail to recognize attacks against yourself and your neighbors as attacks is a profound form of disassociation and demoralization. The system refuses to hold a man who is attacking strangers on the train. even the victim refuses to cooperate. and it keeps getting worse. Seriously, if your pattern recognition is this poor, what on earth are you doing in a justice system? What are you doing as a mental health professional? I’m just dying to hear how this fact pattern resulted in “no bail.”” – El Gato Malo  – GOOD READ FROM EL GATO!!!

Well, Iran flatly rejected the deal today, going so far as to call it “TOTALLY unacceptable;” and, yet, no plus has arrived. It does not even appear that Project Freedom is back on.” – David Haggith

Trump the Autocrat Declares He Will Suspend Gasoline Tax – “A serious violation of Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. I doubt Trump has read the Constitution. Article I, Section 8 enumerates the specific legislative powers granted to Congress, including taxing and borrowing money. Article I gives Congress the sole power to pass legislation. It is Trump’s responsibility to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed,” not create them. Few social media posts point this out.” – Kurt Nimmo

Black teens represent the majority of school shooters, report says – “While public perception often links school shootings to high-profile mass casualty events involving assault-style weapons and manifestos, a comprehensive study reveals a different reality for incidents carried out by teenagers. Many such events are tied to interpersonal disputes and broader patterns of community violence, frequently involving handguns rather than high-powered firearms. It seems the legacy media prefers to sensationalize school shootings that are not impulse driven, but require forethought and result in high casualty counts” – Kenn Gividen

It would surprise quite a few players if US Treasuries play a Reverse card and capital flows out of current darlings and into Treasuries. How is this even possible, given that the USD is on a terminal trajectory to zero due to out-of-control federal borrowing / debt? Here’s how the Reverse card scenario plays out.” – Charles Hugh Smith

The Fertilizer Bomb Is About To Detonate Our Grocery Bills… Here’s The Way Out – “The grocery store is lying to you — not with words, but with prices.

That is where most preparedness plans fall apart. People buy radios, charge them once, put them in a drawer, and assume they now have communications. They do not. They have equipment. Equipment without procedure is just another object waiting to fail. ” – denob

Pills – “You Didn’t Get Sick. You Got Enrolled. Is the world losing its mind, or is everyone just on something? I look around and I sincerely can’t tell anymore. Your kid can’t sit still, so the doctor writes a script before asking what he eats or how many hours he stares at a screen. He’s not broken. He’s a seven-year-old boy. Your buddy can’t get it up, so he reaches for the blue pill instead of putting down the beer and chips. Your sister-in-law wants the influencer body, so she injects herself into a thinner version of being sick. A different disease, dressed up as discipline. Can’t sleep? Ambien. Anxious? Xanax. Sad for more than a week? Antidepressant. It’s easy: a fifteen-minute appointment, prescription in hand before you’ve finished saying what’s wrong with you.” – Joshua Stylman  – EXCELLENT ARTICLE FROM JOSHUA!!!!

Iran War, A Fuel Additive for The Great Reset – “It is increasingly difficult not to conceptualize the Iran war as an intentional act to disrupt the global economy, including food and energy supplies, and to further facilitate the Great Reset. The World Economic Forum (WEF) has been fairly open about its goals to end private property ownership and to ration food and energy. The cover story of stopping Iran from getting nuclear weapons is so stupid it is not worth lending the energy to. Seeking regime change by a massive bombing campaign alone, seems a bit suspicious too. So, what were the stated goals, I mean predictions, in that infamous WEF video?” – Dr. Joseph Sansone

Young persons, trying to sort it out are bewildered. And we older ones, if fortunate enough get what’s happening, understand that they took our culture and left us with algorithms. Is that a sad thing? Of course, but not as much as it is bewildering for the young, making their floundering attempt to latch unto a life that makes sense.

Trump’s ‘Unacceptable’ Answer – “The president curtly rejected another Iranian proposal yesterday: As many observers now acknowledge, the U.S. has lost the war. Trump cannot bring himself to accept that he is responsible for that defeat. He appears to have believed that he could win a great victory over Iran in a matter of days, and he can’t cope with the reality of his monumental failure.

The difference between helping and grifting – “See, there’s an issue that Newsom says he wants to resolve. Having babies is expensive, and diapers are part of that cost. Newsom says he wants to help these parents, so he’s kicked off a program that will provide free diapers. Sounds good, right? Wrong, because there’s a grift built in there. Peter Basios argued it would be cheaper to hand “every low-income new mom $100 cash and told her to go to Costco” than have the state pay 50 cents per diaper. Bingo. Plus, it seems that Kelly Sawyer, who runs Baby 2 Baby, is married to one of the Democrats’ top donors and campaign bundlers in the state.

Seven Years a Slave – “Did ye – the term seems apropos – know that in the early colonial period, the typical indenture contract ran for seven years? People too po’ to be able to pay for their passage to the new world would instead agree to be bound to service for a term of seven years, during which time they worked off what they owed.

The $USD continues to trade near its four-year lows. This is an incredible situation when you consider that the War in Iran should have ignited a “flight to safety” move into U.S. dollars. It didn’t.

Government Food Confiscation Laws: How Private Food Stores Were Seized in History and What Legal Mechanisms Still Exist – “Most people assume that the food stockpiled in their pantry, freezer, or basement belongs to them unconditionally. Under normal circumstances, they are absolutely right. But history tells a far more complicated story, and the legal frameworks governing food supply, distribution, and access during emergencies reveal a side of government power that most people rarely think about until a crisis forces them to.” – Bob Rodgers

After the First Wave – “There is a dangerous assumption in preparedness circles that the first few days of a crisis are the hardest part. They are not. The first wave is panic. It is noise, confusion, lineups, empty shelves, bad information, and people trying to make sense of something they never believed would happen. The first wave is when the power goes out, the phones get overloaded, the gas stations run dry, and the grocery store becomes a rumour mill with cash registers.” – denob

The 6-Phase Food Scarcity Prep Plan – “If you’ve been to a grocery store lately, you may have noticed that prices are rising faster again. The war with Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is causing the biggest energy crisis in history, which will affect the price of everything. Food prices are going to rise particularly fast due to the lack of fertilizer being exported from the gulf. Currently, farmers are using less fertilizer than usual, and that will affect the price of food significantly come harvest season. So what do we do? First of all, don’t panic-buy. Instead, what you want to do is buy strategically.” – Alan Urban

Why Australia’s COVID ‘Freedom’ Movement Was a Sham Led by Zionist-Controlled Pretenders – “The truth about Monica Smit, Avi Yemeni, Riccardo Bosi and Morgan Jonas. During Australia’s COVID charade, a number of curious figures emerged and masqueraded as staunch opponents of government tyranny. They would predictably show up on stage at anti-lockdown protests, to roaring applause. They featured prominently in the ‘alt’ media. They became mini-celebrities, seeming ‘heroes’ of the freedom movement. And it was all bullshit.” – Anthony Colpo

Who Will Teach Donald Trump to Play Chess? – “One of many myths surrounding the Trump phenomenon is that he is some kind of chess master.The month of May brought Americans and the rest of the world Trump’s most recent jest – pivoting from a Arabian Sea “blockade” of the already Iranian “blockaded” Strait of Hormuz to a new “Project Freedom” faux escort service for US friendly ships. “Project Freedom” initially lasted less than 50 hours. Gulf state allies – for the first time ever – told Washington “No dice!” ” – Karen Kwiatkowski

Is the Iran War Really About Iran? – “America’s descent into authoritarianism and fascism. Can you win a war that isn’t really about the country you’re fighting? Where the aims keep shifting and the motivations are dishonest? We know from Secretary of State Marco Rubio that Israel more or less forced the Trump administration’s hand in attacking Iran. We know from Joe Kent’s testimony that Iran posed no imminent threat to the U.S. We know from President Trump himself that Iran’s nuclear program had been “obliterated” in previous strikes. So why wage war on Iran?” – Bill Astore

Iran Responds To US Peace Proposal, While Threatening ‘Decisive’ Strike On UK, French Warships If They Approach Strait – Tyler Durden

US Stole Enriched Uranium From Venezuela – “The United States has used force to seize enriched uranium from Venezuela. This announcement, made triumphantly by the US ruling class, comes with an understanding that Iran has a much larger stockpile of HEU (highly enriched uranium). In a statement on Friday, the Department of Energy (DOE) claimed that it had completed the “removal of all remaining enriched uranium from a legacy research reactor” in Venezuela, and transferred it to the US for processing and reuse. The quantity removed was 13.5 kg (30 pounds).” – Mac Slavo

AFTER PETE BUTTIGEIG WHO DIDN’T DO JACK FOR FOUR YEARS, WE NOW HAVE DUFFY!!!

Iran Like Russia by Walking Away from Victory Has Failed to Ensure Peace – “Putin did absolutely nothing to deter the Israeli-American attack on Iran. He asked only that Israel not attack the Iranian nuclear reactor where Russians were working. Clearly, Putin did not want any Russian deaths that could force him into supporting Iran’s ability to withstand the Israeli-American attack. Putin, like Trump, seems to be more under the thumb of the Zionist state of Israel than under the thumb of domestic citizens. Everything is for Israel. Nothing for Americans or Russians.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Zelensky Again Steps Down From Ledge as Russian V-Day Parade Predictably Proceeds as Planned – “The Moscow Victory Day Parade has come and gone without a hitch. Zelensky got the call from Trump, and was brought immediately to heel after spending a week talking tough and insinuating Ukraine could ruin Russia’s sacred memorial. In reality, Russia struck Ukraine at will during Zelensky’s own trivially unilateral “ceasefire” announced a day earlier, meant to upstage and preempt the Moscow V-Day celebrations.” – Simpliciu

Homemade Bone Broth Recipe and Instructions – “Bone broth is exactly what it sounds like: A broth made from bones, although some contemporary recipes add vegetables for flavor and added nutrients. From a culinary standpoint, it’s the fundamental recipe for a stock that is often used in soups, stews, and gravies. As more and more people looked at the nutritional profile of bone broths, they started to notice certain elements and nutrients that have been shown to have health benefits in other occurrences. While there are indications that bone broth can provide good nutritional benefits and contribute to overall health, some of the claims made about it are a bit outlandish. That notwithstanding, bone broth does possess an impressive list of nutrients” – Steve Nubie

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

Thrown like a star in my vast sleep
I opened my eyes to take a peek
To find that I was by the sea
Gazing with tranquility

‘Twas then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Came singing songs of love
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Came singing songs of love

“Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy” he sang
“Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy” he sang
“Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy” he sang

Histories of ages past
Unenlightened shadows cast
Down through all eternity
The crying of humanity

‘Tis then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Comes singing songs of love
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Comes singing songs of love

“Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy” he sang
“Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurd
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy” he sang

“Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy” he sang
Here comes the Roly Poly Man
He’s singing songs of love
“Roly poly, roly poly, holy poly poly” he sang
“Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy” he sang
“Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy” he sang

Those that are buying are aiming for cost efficiency and they are buying alone (prioritizing savings and home ownership over marriage).” – Brandon Smith

What an Attack on the Dollar Actually Looks Like – “Last month, Khaled Balama — the United Arab Emirates’ central bank governor — sat down with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on the sidelines of the IMF spring meetings in Washington.

If Washington wouldn’t backstop UAE dollar liquidity through the war’s economic damage, Abu Dhabi might have to start settling oil sales in Chinese yuan instead. Five years ago, none of that would have been imaginable. And it’s not happening in isolation.” – Lau Vegys

The Market’s Feedback Loop Will Self-Destruct And this is how they’ll explain the next crash. At some point, investors have to acknowledge what’s happening in this market. I don’t expect the rocket surgeons on CNBC to talk about it. Nor do I expect Jamie Dimon to write about it in his annual letter. There’s a certain amount of kayfabe (hereinafter referred to as “lying to the public”) that makes up the top layer of public discourse about markets. It’s slick talk used to give the poors and commonfolk the impression things are operating totally normally even when they aren’t and when the aberrations have not shown up in the form of an easily identifiable shit show (i.e. massive crash) that everyone in the world is forced to acknowledge yet.” – Quoth the Raven

Off-Grid Thinking: How to Escape The Current Time Trap – “There’s a Missing Layer To How You Think… And It Changes Everything Most People Never Step Outside This Invisible Boundary Once you get away from the hum of traffic and the glow of screens, something starts to shift.
