THE BIG PICTURE

Astroturf Activism: How The US Government And NGOs Created “Gay Pride” From Thin Air – “We all knew gay people were a permanent fixture in society. For the most part nobody bothered them and they kept their gayness to themselves (and far away from children). Frankly, it was working just fine. What we didn’t understand at the time was that the seemingly harmless rise of “Gay Pride” in the 90s and early 2000s would become a primer for the woke madness that spread like wildfire from 2014 onward. As we now know, a lot of that insanity was rooted in programs funded through the US government. It’s important to keep in mind, however, that the government is a tool, not the hand holding the tool. Elitist interests through NGO’s and think tanks like the Ford Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation were the real impetus for the creation of the woke movement. They spent decades building the revolving door dynamic that cycled taxpayer cash through agencies like USAID and into the pockets of NGOs. In other words, it’s a mistake to think of the federal government as the mastermind. Rather, the government and the politicians within it are paid (or blackmailed) by wealthy globalists to support legislation that funds and empowers globalist projects.” – Brandon Smith

Checkmate: The Triumph of Technocracy How Trump, Elon & the Tech Elite are paving the way for a Brave New World – And what it means for all of us “We are living through a historic transition of power: the shift from a corrupt facade democracy to an AI-driven technocracy controlled by Silicon Valley billionaires. While this unfolds, most observers are – as usual – focused on the wrong signals, missing the larger pattern of what’s actually happening. And what’s happening isn’t isolated to the United States – it’s a global agenda that will reshape every aspect of our lives. – Erik Wikström

All The King’s Men – “It’s hard to decide between Zelensky and Netanyahu as mass murderer—2024, but I relished watching Zelensky exposed for who he is—by Trump/Vance in the Oval Office. Trump will be judged by a number of things: Will he be able to find a way to peace in Ukraine? Will he sit down with Iran and Putin to forge a peace treaty to replace the Iran treaty he shitcanned? Will he back-away from demented-madman Netanyahu, forcing Israel to make peace with its Arab neighbors? More importantly, can he avoid conflict with China? And, as important as everything else, will he take steps to save the dollar? Difficult issues—to be resolved, seemingly, by a peace-loving bully. Canada/Mexico, our biggest trading partners are to be tariffed, across the board, 25%. Does Trump have a strategy, or does his lack of economic understanding put our economy in peril? Persisting in unquestioned support for Zionism in Palestine or backing Israeli attacks on Iran, while insisting on the degradation of Chinese economic influence at all costs, with a mission to un-unite Russia/China, will, in a worse case scenario—rain hell on us.” – neverhadaboss.com

Donald Trump is threatening to kill my family. Will the world stop him? – “No, this is not just a “warning”, another “controversial” statement by the US president. “To the People of Gaza: A beautiful Future awaits, but not if you hold Hostages. If you do, you are DEAD! Make a SMART decision. RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW OR THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY LATER!” These were not the words of some far-right provocateur lurking in a dark corner of the internet. They were not shouted by an unhinged warlord seeking vengeance. No, these were the words of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, the most powerful man in the world. And yet, with all this power, all this influence, his words to the people of Gaza were not of peace, not of diplomacy, not of relief – but of death. I read them and I feel sick. I read these words and I ask: What kind of a world do we live in?” – Ahmed Najar

THE BIG PICTURE

“Taxpayer money” – “”Taxpayer money” implies that it’s money that the government has taken as taxes from employed, hardworking, taxpaying Americans. Which hits hard enough, when talking about waste, fraud and abuse. But the term “taxpayer money” doesn’t convey a meaningful, important, hidden truth: That only a portion of all that money being fraudfully stolen and spent is money collected as taxes. A large portion of it—maybe the largest portion of it—is borrowed money, stealthily put on a giant credit card in the name of the citizens of America. So when you hear someone talk about how we’re spending or wasting “taxpayer money,” what they’re really talking about is making us all indentured servants to banks, elites, and enemies of “free America” for the next hundred years.” – Edward Dowd via Lioness of Judah

You funnel vast amounts of US taxpayer dollars into Non-Governmental Organizations, NGOs, spin off more NGOs below them, and add extra layers of subsidiary NGOs, and all of them pay their staffs of Dem Party foot-soldiers for do-nothing jobs — leaving plenty of time for riots and real-estate investing — a splendid racket that worked for years to support the insane antics of the Woke-Jacobin revolution.

Understanding Trump’s Foreign Policy – and Where It Might Lead – “Trump has known for many years that the United States is not healthy, nor on a healthy track. “America is Back!” is aspirational, but it takes more than a good slogan to coax, push, and inspire an over-stressed, tired, broke-ass nation to peace and prosperity. I don’t know if God saved Trump from a deep state bullet for a higher purpose in 2025, as he has mentioned. I do know that the limited government mantra that Ron Paul revived over 40 years ago, from the old anti-war Right, is the reason we have a populist President today, who wants to end wars, shrink the bureaucracy, and abandon serfdom to the state.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

Keeping biological males in female sports isn’t one of them. In fact, the polling shows that most Americans oppose this. Personally, I’m praying they keep on refusing to listen. The petulance on display last night during Trump’s speech to a joint session of Congress is only going to add to the disgust many Americans are feeling. How can you not applaud a kid fighting cancer?

‘Crypto Prez’ Trump Gifts Industry With Move That Sparks Nearly $300B Rally – ““I will make sure the U.S. is the Crypto Capital of the World,” President Donald Trump wrote in a social media post. Cryptocurrencies rallied on Sunday after President Donald Trump announced the U.S. will include five digital assets in a new strategic reserve, in a nod to an industry he promised a major windfall if elected.” – Sean Craig  – PART OF THE DIGITAL GAME PLAN FOR CONTROL. IF HE WAS SERIOUS, HE WOULD JUNK THE FED AND GET BACK TO A GOLD STANDARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No Sympathy for Fired Apparatchiks – “Sob stories about federal apparatchiks – workers is an inappropriate term in that it suggests something worth doing is being done – who’ve been fired by the new boss in town are all over the Internet, social media and the dinosaur media. But should anyone who works for a living be sobbing – or cheering? …consider the apparatchik. This is a person who takes his living, via force. Because people are forced to deal with such people – as for example at the DMV. What they have to offer almost no on wants but everyone is forced to pay for, regardless. Would the DMV remain a going concern were it not for the force? Would “customers” – as the DMV obnoxiously describes the people forced to queue up for “services” they don’t want much less need – continue to queue up were they not forced to queue up?” – Eric Peters – AND FOR SOME REASON THE PEOPLE THAT WORK AT THE DMV ALWAYS ACT LIKE IT’S A PAIN IN THE ASS TO WAIT ON YOU AND THINK THEY ARE ABOVE YOU.

I made my “joke” and told her I thought she shouldn’t worry about it. She came back and was very upset, reporting that they had also biopsied her breast and let her know that she has Stage Zero cancer, known as DCIS. DCIS stands for Ductal Carcinoma In Situ. It is a fancy name for abnormal cells that may or may not turn into cancer. The first doctor that advised her spent six minutes in the room and told her that if she didn’t want to die she should have a double mastectomy, chemo, and radiation. Amanda was understandably upset. Stage ZERO???? I had never heard of this Stage Zero Cancer. Doesn’t that technically mean NOT cancer???” – Conspiracy Sarah

Attitude Adjustment – “See if you can get this straight: So, Keir Starmer says: the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland wants to “put boots on the ground and planes in the air” in Ukraine so as to lead a “coalition of the willing” (NATO) against Russia. Sounds a little like the British PM is holding seances at No. Ten Downing Street to channel the spirits of bygone European leaders who launched doomed bear hunts into the vast and mysterious Eurasian east. Why is Europe so avid for war? After eighty-odd years of serving as the world’s tourism theme park, languishing in their cafes, maybe they forgot what war is like. Mr. Trump is correct to avoid getting dragged into that. We have enough on our own agenda for repairing the damage done to ourselves the past thirty years.” – James Howard Kunstler

Trump Sends Netanyahu Weapons While Talking Tough To Zelensky – “Zelensky, like every other US imperial asset, was only ever intended to be used and then discarded. The gears of the imperial war machine roll onward.” – Caitlin Johnstone

Boots on the ground in Ukraine? Calm down, Keir – “Starmer’s posturing against Russia is as deluded as it is dangerous” – Tim Black.

The International Rules-Based Order – “And why it must be deconstructed.. There is now a clear division between Europe and the United States. Not only did Norway, a member of NATO, refuse to refuel an American submarine, Keir Starmer formed a European coalition to continue supporting Ukraine in the war with Russia, putting the value and structure of NATO on the line. All of this in response to the fiery presser between Trump, Zelensky and Vance. It feels orchestrated by both sides.” – T.L. Davis

The Zelensky Problem – “Project Ukraine, which was largely created by a small number of zealots called the neocons in the Obama administration. They overthrew the government of Ukraine, installed an anti-Russian government and just like that there was money and opportunity in Ukraine. By the time Trump came along in 2016, the Ukraine project had a sizable constituency in the Western ruling class, which is why Trump was impeached. He threatened the project. This is what we see with Zelensky. He is the anthropomorphized government program, consumed with defending its prerogatives. It is why he was so nasty in his trip to the Trump White House. ” – The Z Man

Master Thieves Stole the Constitution – “Over the last century, master thieves have stolen their freedoms, representative government, and constitutional protections. Cheap knockoffs have replaced priceless American treasures. The U.S. Constitution makes no mention of the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Environmental Protection Agency, or the Internal Revenue Service. It says nothing at all about the hundreds of other administrative agencies and regulatory bodies that compose the federal bureaucracy. On the contrary, the Constitution is a blueprint for a small government with limited powers. Those powers are explicitly enumerated, while all other powers are explicitly reserved for the American people and the individual states. ” – J.B. Shurk

Victor Davis Hanson Delivers Brutal, Bottom-Line Reality Check to ‘Rock Star’ Zelensky – “Regardless of which side one stands on, American classicist, military historian, and conservative political commentator Victor Davis Hanson (VDH) on Sunday delivered a bottom-line reality check to the Ukrainian strongman — that will likely fall on deaf ears.” – Mike Miller

Insane in the Ukraine – “Enough. i have been deeply surprised at the ignorance of history both recent and more, well, historical and at the peril of playing the pedantic pussycat, perhaps some lessons are in order because folks like Congresscritter Mike seem dangerously bereft of context and general sense and this seems as good a place to start as any. The current instantiation of the Ukraine is a very new country. it was a part of Rus, then the Polish Lithuanian empire then was mostly absorbed by the Russian empire in the 18th century. from 1917 to 1991, It was a part of the Soviet Union and was governed from Moscow. ” – El Gato Malo

Europe Unveils Rival Ukraine Peace Plan Backed By ‘Boots On The Ground & Planes In The Air’ – “Is the UK trying to pull Trump into starting WW3? During Sunday’s security summit of European leaders to find an alternate peace plan to Washington’s, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced a “coalition of the willing” to step up efforts in support of Kiev.” – Tyler Durden

The EU Carnival Brings Same Old Show to Town – “The Great European Traveling Circus has gathered for another emergency clown convention in London: It was meant to ‘signal solidarity’—or something to that effect—as envisioned by the behind-the-scenes scriptwriters tediously working to adapt decades-obsolete PR briefs to contemporary audiences. In fact, the bizarrely-staged spectacle looks all-the-more anachronistic each time you look at it. Ask yourself: who are these optics for, exactly?” – Simplicius

Le Pen slams Brussels over power grab, says peace is the only option while downplaying Zelensky-Trump spat – “That two leaders of nations defend their national interests, defend the vision that they consider the most just for the world, does not seem to me to be something extraordinary” – Liz Heflin

Andrew Cuomo Wants a Bite of the Big Apple – But Do Voters Want Him? – “Three years, it seems, is a long time in politics.” – James Fite

Musk Is a Special Government Employee—What Is That? – “Because of special government employee allowances, specialized experts such as doctors, scientists, and business leaders have contributed to national policy. The status of special government employee allows individuals to work for both the federal government and the private sector simultaneously. Those working as special government employees are limited to working up to 130 days per year unless the administration expressly extends that limit. Congress first passed legislation in the early 1960s to allow the executive branch to bring in outside experts without forcing them out of their private sector or academic positions.” – Savannah Hulsey Pointer

Did Keir Starmer just make Ireland a legitimate Russian target? – “Belfast missile production site at centre of UK promise to Ukraine. The fall-out from the Trump-Zelensky meeting on a bilateral rare-earth and minerals deal last Friday has quickly radared in on the island of Ireland. Yesterday, Keir Starmer, during a press conference with a hastily gathered grouping of Ukrainian president Zelensky and European leaders, in Downing Street, announced the UK would be providing 5,000 missiles to Ukraine. Or to be specific: the island of Ireland will be manufacturing these same missiles for Ukraine.” – Gerry O’Neill

This unsual divergence gave the personal saving rate in this country a welcome shot in the arm. What was the cause of the unusual divergence? The primary reason can be summed up in one single word: “DOGE”. The Department Of Government Efficiency has already had a dramatic impact on not just the government, but on the US economy, and it has been on the job barely a month! Let’s peel back some of the numbers and see how DOGE has managed to make a difference already.” – Peter Nayland Kust

America’s TikTok Ban Is a Threat To Free Speech – “For a year, Americans watched lawmakers contradict their own claims that the app is a “national security threat.” Now, they are starting to see the ban for what it really is – an attack on consumer choice and free speech. If TikTok was such a large threat to national security that it couldn’t continue to operate, then politicians should’ve suspended their accounts after the ban, instead of choosing to campaign on them. And the Trump administration shouldn’t have offered an extension if the product hasn’t changed – especially since Trump originally called for the ban.” – Micky Horstman

USDA’s $1 Billion Plan to Combat Bird Flu Calls for Vaccines and Killing More Birds — Will It Work? – “Some critics, including farmers and scientists, said the plan will just perpetuate the ineffective and harmful practice of culling birds and promote the potentially risky vaccination of chickens — a better policy would be to let the birds develop flock immunity.” – Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D.

BLOODBATH IN THE OVAL OFFICE – “A presidential dressing down for the ages. We just witnessed the most extraordinary unclothing in the history of American ‘diplomacy’. Zelensky’s life and career as a cheap television gigolo flashed before his eyes, as he stumped in the Oval Office today, while Trump and Vance took turns flagellating him like the mewling fraud that he is. First, a quick summary: it all began as Zelensky pulled up to the White House, with Trump immediately ribbing the disgraced leader about his unprofessional choice of attire:  “Do you even own a suit?” Imagine such a demeaning question being asked of any other world leader. But this exchange highlights precisely the main takeaway—which is that the artificially constructed image of Zelensky is no longer useful, and has been tossed away like a used rag. All the false bravado and olive drab khakis—it all served a purpose for the past three years, with Zelensky built up like some kind of John Rambo-Churchill; the ‘sacred’ attire would have never been questioned before, because it represented the theater of it all, the carefully stage-managed production. Now that the play has run its course, ” – Simplicius

Chihuahuas, Not Dobermans – “I have never been much for schadenfreude: It is always best to occupy one’s mind with worthier matters. But I cave to temptation as Volodymyr Zelensky, the puffed-up buffoon who has paraded flamboyantly across the world stage as a hero these past half-dozen years, is publicly cut to size as President Donald Trump gets on with the business of ending the proxy war Zelensky has cynically sold to the Western world’s lumpen liberals while presiding over the monstrously corrupt, Nazi-infested regime in Kiev. Let us sneer, let us snicker as the air hisses out of Zelensky’s balloon.” – Patrick Lawrence

Got To Love Those Nazis – “Maybe those Nazis were not so bad; what else could explain the love affair the liberal West is having with the Nazis in the Ukraine? There is no denying the fact that Ukraine has a Nazi problem and has Nazi army units. There is no denying that before Russia invaded three years ago, the Ukrainian government went after Russian-speaking people in the Dumbass region and went as far as attempting to ban the Russian language from their schools—something Nazi politicians would do. The Russians in Crimea smelled this fast and voted unanimously to cede back to Russia. Russia knows all about the Nazi horror, having lost 27 million to them in World War Two.” – Dr. Sircus

Understanding the Thiel/Musk view on China – “With the war in Ukraine potentially coming to an end (let’s hope Zelenskyy’s performance in the White House hasn’t put the whole thing on the back foot!), there is a veneer of global peace on the horizon. Yet I fear the world may become embroiled in heightened conflict with China. Why is that? Part of the problem, I believe, is that the current administration in Washington is heavily staffed by Thiel allies.” – Winston Smith

Federal Workers Sing the Blues – “No little boy or girl says they want to be a stiff at a government agency when they grow up. One day, about ten years into your career, as you’d advanced within the organizational hierarchy, it dawned on you that what you were doing was pointless minutia. A complete waste of your time and your life. By this time, however, you were in too deep. It would be difficult to start over in another profession. Plus, at your agency job, the pay was generous, the work was easy, and you had a mortgage and a family to support. Your consolation was that after 35 years you’d have a cush retirement to look forward to. Another decade goes by, and each day you count the years until you’ll be able to start enjoying those pleasant Florida winters in Tampa. But regrettably, it was not to be… You’re Fired!” – MN Gordon

With that firmly in mind, today, we explore the saddest recession indicator… ” – Peter Reagan

Short-term pain, long-term gain – “A technical correction in gold and silver is shaking out weak holders, providing a stronger base for the next bull move. There are strong signs that the credit bubble is beginning to deflate. A dramatic collapse in cryptos is leading the way, followed by momentum stocks on NASDAQ. This is bound to cause widespread liquidation in all financial asset categories, to be followed by the consequences of widespread portfolio reallocation away from risk.

For Those Who Think Chemtrails Are Going Away: Think Again – “These pictures of massive spraying of poison chemtrails were all taken yesterday above my hometown in Montana. (2/26) What cannot be seen is that at the very same time these were taken, it was difficult to count all the planes in the air. In fact, these planes were still spraying in the same direction, and had begun aggressively spraying in cross-patterns as well, just like a checkerboard, and a few were even spraying at other angles. Nothing could be more obvious, and the fact that anyone can see it with their own eyes, and the fact that it is now admitted to by most all political and military entities, and worldwide, there is no reason to hide from this truth. Everyone is exposed to this toxic coverage of the skies, and as this soup mix of harmful, health destroying, and possibly fatal fallout settles to ground, the entire environment, and every living thing, plant and animal, are adversely affected.” – Gary D. Barnett

In Science We Trust – “Most Americans are not paying attention (there’s nothing new about that, of course), but this is especially true of political conservatives and religious evangelicals. But the impending introduction of Elon Musk’s technocratic-dominated governmental system being launched under Donald Trump is more dangerous than almost any of us realize. While Trump launched the Covid tyranny on the world in his waning days in office in 2020, it was given to Joe Biden to fully implement and enforce—through the mad scientist Anthony Fauci—this experiment of a government of, by and for the technocrats. Remember Fauci’s mantra: “Trust the science.” (Fauci’s pseudoscience, of course.) That’s exactly what we are talking about here.

Tremendously Evil Things – “Lastly, with all this perversion and waste by unaccountable government agencies, and with our federal government having a seemingly endless supply of money — despite the fact that our nation is hopelessly bankrupt financially — I have to wonder why they need our federal income tax dollars at all. Our debt is currently seven times the amount the Fed takes in through taxation. — why not really put Americans first, and just eliminate the federal income tax, thereby eliminating the perpetual lie that our fiat currency is actually needed for anything?

In usual fashion Trump began promoting and pumping Bourla to the Audience. Instead of the typical applause on cue, Trump and Bourla were met with loud boos from these patriots. The boos were directed toward Bourla, yet Trump’s awkward smile indicated that he knew that at least on this issue, he was getting booed too, even if indirectly.

As Biden’s partner in economic crime, Harris could not escape the blame for the torpedoing of the dollar’s value in recent years. In July 2021, Biden declared, “There’s nobody suggesting there’s unchecked inflation on the way — no serious economist.” Actually, there were plenty of dire warnings. In December 2021, Biden scoffed at inflation as a “bump in the road.” But that “bump” became a hole in the gas tank for tens of millions of Americans who drive to work as fuel prices set one record after another.” – James Bovard

Housing: The Foundations of the Middle Class Are Crumbling – “From the end of World War II in 1945 on, the deal was simple: buy a house and you’ll build equity that’s even better than a savings account because you get the tax break of deducting mortgage interest and you get a roof over your head at a cost that’s equal to or even lower than renting a house. Once you’ve paid off the mortgage, the costs of ownership drop, enabling a secure retirement. Every one of these assumptions has either crumbled or is now in doubt.” – Charles Hugh Smith
