THE BIG PICTURE

Importing low trust and the decline of high-trust society. – “So, here’s an interesting chart: It shows what many have long lamented: the erosion of high trust society in the US. The chart stops in 2010. One can only imagine the depths to which it has plummeted today.” – El Gato Malo

The Woke Deception: How Modern “Social Justice” Functions as Psychological Warfare – “The Systematic Weakening of America Through Coordinated Psy-Ops Before an Engineered Civil War. What if “woke” ideology – despite its claims of fighting oppression – is actually designed to fragment society into warring tribes that are easier to control and manipulate? The evidence suggests that contemporary “woke” culture operates as a textbook divide-and-conquer strategy,” – The Wise Wolf and Lily-Rose Dawson

Ghislaine ‘Splainin’ – “Did you happen to bother reading the transcript of Ghislaine Maxwell’s interview? It’s tough sledding at times.. altogether the confab reveals that just about everything you think you know about the scandal might not be so, and her story is full of shocking surprises, assuming you can believe her. For instance, Ms. Maxwell had exactly one night of actual sex with Jeffrey Epstein back in the 1990s, a few months after they met, and that was it. He had problems with straight-up sex, she says. Huh. . .? There goes one pillar of the public perception of the scandal: that Ghislaine Maxwell was a sort of nymphomaniac consort of Mr. Epstein, while supposedly acting as chief procurer of his masseuse “victims” and that the whole decades-long saga was a cavalcade of threesomes and orgies. She even claims at one point of being “a prude.” So, what was her role in JE’s complicated life? Basically, a property manager, she says.” – James Howard Kunstler

Canadians Have Always Hated Americans – “To all of my Canadian readers, please accept my apologies if you find this essay offensive. Please take part of it as “tongue in cheek” humour, and remember, I am a Canadian citizen as well! I love you all! Canadians aren’t haters; they’re just masters of the humblebrag, perched on a pedestal partly built by American grit. Maybe it’s time for a cross-border Molson/Bud Light summit: acknowledge the mutual wins, drop the superiority schtick, and remember that without each other, we’d both be a little less “great.” After all, who else is going to keep the continent safe from invading polar bears—or worse, bad trade deals? Let’s thaw this frost before it turns into another ice age.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

The Media Is (Still) Lying To You – “Unmasking the Narrative. Facts Crush Media’s Fake Stories” – Peter Nayland Kust

Euronews Is Euro-Trash: Lessons in Media Deception Tactics – ““News” outlet (loosely defined) Euronews, the mouthpiece of Brussels, recently “covered” (loosely defined) the vicious and unprovoked murder of a 17-year-old Dutch girl at the hands of a so-called asylum seeker living in government migrant housing who had previously raped another Dutch girl on August 15. In so doing, the outlet didn’t mention any of those pertinent details. Instead, the migrant rapist was simply termed a “22-year-old man.”” – Ben Bartee

What Made the Democratic Party Go Crazy? – “The Democrat Party abandoned the middle class for elites and identity politics—trading broad appeal for globalism, DEI dogma, and political self-destruction.” – Victor Davis Hanson

US Foreign Policy is War for More War – “There was hope among Trump watchers that, as President, he would not seek war. He would put America first, bring troops home, and strengthen the US through economic liberty and even – wait for it – sound money! The most cynical never believed it; Trump haters in both parties didn’t want it, but there is no doubt he lied to the MAGA crowd over and over again. American First got Donald “war hero” Trump, as he claps for that king of war heroes, Bibi Netanyahu. Part of the problem is academic. The US is an imperial nation, late and deep in its financial, military and demographic collapse. But to admit this is to get ahead of ourselves as Americans.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

Trump Prepares to Attack Latin America (VIDEO) – “With Trump sending 3 warships to Latin America (near Venezuela) after setting a $50 million bounty on Maduro, and talking of invading Mexico due to the ‘drug war,’ it is clear this is just more pretext for US imperialism.” – Makia Freeman

Trump’s Plan to Invade Venezuela and Abduct “Narcoterrorist” Maduro. – “Bondi accused Maduro of heading up one of the world’s most notorious drug trafficking operations. She said his alleged involvement in the drug trade is a threat to the national security of the United States. While there is little compelling evidence of Maduro’s involvement in the drug trade, it is known that the Venezuelan National Guard and military began to buy, store, transfer and distribute cocaine in the mid-2000s. Prior to direct involvement, the Venezuelan military extorted narcos in the transfer of drug shipments. Venezuela might not have become involved in the drug trade if not for the multi-billion-dollar Plan Colombia security program signed with the United States. Billed as an anti-narcotics effort, the real purpose of the plan was to eradicate guerrilla movements aligned against corporate petroleum and mining activities. Colombia Plan maintained a close relationship with death squads and organized paramilitary forces,” – Kurt Nimmo  – INTERESTING READ FROM KURT!!!

Do you really believe a Ukrainian on a yacht took out Nord Stream? – “A man has been arrested in Italy and will stand trial in Germany, but the pipeline mystery remains unresolved. It is the first arrest in a case widely viewed as the largest instance of industrial sabotage in Europe since World War II. Probes were launched by Denmark, Sweden and Germany, but the first two were ended with no suspects identified. Russia, the majority owner of the pipeline, was not allowed to participate in any of the official probes and has consistently been denied access to the evidence.” – RT

Desperate Euro-Elites Suggest Boots-on-Ground Even “Before Ceasefire” – “Europe has been again retreading the ‘security guarantees’ and ‘boots-on-ground’ red herrings, but this is old, beaten laundry with too much mileage on it to come to any real use anymore. That doesn’t stop them from trying, though—Le Monde, for instance, proposes a novel idea: that European troops should be injected into Ukraine before the signing of a ceasefire not after, in order to “pressure” Putin into that very truce:” – Simplicius

Has He Gone Completely Insane? Zelensky Announces That There Is Not Going To Be Peace – “Apparently Zelensky is convinced that there will not be a permanent state of peace until all of Donetsk, all of Luhansk and all of Crimea belong to his government. Needless to say, the Russians will never hand all of Donetsk, all of Luhansk and all of Crimea over to Ukraine willingly, and so they will need to be taken by force. Since the Ukrainians cannot do this alone, they will be seeking to enlist the help of others, and that is what should deeply alarm all of us.” – Michael Snyder

That’s my belief.” Celente also dives into gold, markets, and geopolitical risks, explaining why lower interest rates fuel inflation and why gold prices continue to rise: “The lower interest rates go, the deeper the dollar falls.

Why Americans Should Fear Washington in Intel’s Boardroom – “Turning Intel into a government partner undermines competition and national prosperity.” – Vance Ginn

Excessive Money Supply Growth Creates Secular Stagnation. – “The government must understand that higher spending is not going to drive stronger growth. When a 4.5% money supply growth delivers a 2.5% real GDP estimated growth, it is showing that the economy needs more, and a 6.8% increase delivered just 2% with a $2 trillion increase of government spending between 2021 and 2024; it shows that more money only bloats government and creates persistent inflation.” – Daniel Lacalle

Insider Selling Reveals Fallacy Of Buyback Theory – “To benefit from a corporate buyback, an individual must sell their shares to the company. Conversely, those holding on to their shares are not compensated. The only benefit shareholders may receive is a proportional increase in their ownership percentage, which is meaningless if the company’s intrinsic value isn’t increasing.” – Lance Roberts

And I’m thinking, how can you carry that on your person all the time, regardless of the weather, regardless of where you’re going to? And the simple fact of the matter is in my opinion they can’t they can’t carry all the stuff they claim to be carrying. It should be kept simple. Most of the stuff they talk about that they carry in their everyday carry kit should be carried in a vehicle and not actually on the person.

Called To Growth – “Sin is our reality. Surely no reasonable person who takes their faith seriously will contest this premise. Sin is why we need forgiveness. Sin is why Jesus shed his blood upon the Cross at Calvary. Sin is the hurdle we must all overcome. Sin is our reality. Is sin our destiny as well?” – Peter Nayland Kust

MAID IN HELL: THE BANALITY OF MEDICAL EVIL – “Speaking of psyops, MAID teems with euphemisms. Clinicians speak of the acts of killing as “provisions” with one referring to “deliveries.” Orwellian happy talk abounds, with reference to “empowering choices” and “journeys.” About this adoration of “autonomy.” To MAIDmongers that word justifies the delivery to people of what authorities decide they need and deserve, in this case death” – Steven Goldsmith MD

Where do all the White People Work? – “In search of the largest demographic Recently, I looked up the official population numbers for America 2.0. Even with birth rates plummeting at warp speed, some 57.8 percent of the populace remains White. I was actually astonished at this figure. One gets the distinct impression that Whites are already a minority, a situation gleefully forecast and anticipated by the elite. But still, despite the anti-White propaganda and the phenomenon of self-hating Whites, we remain a large majority of the population. So what do we do other than vacation?” – Donald Jeffries

Smartest Guy In The Room? – “Sifting through facts for reality, Trump is the enigma of the day. My take on him changes daily because, being mercurial, he changes daily. Or, maybe he doesn’t? Is he for peace? Not in Yemen; not in Iran; not with China. Heaven forbid Palestine. But, does he have inclination towards peace? He does, and he may fall short of killing the millions Biden was responsible for. With Trump, we have to carefully watch overall drift. He comes out for security guarantees for Ukraine—and his EU puppets rejoice. But he then puts them in the Oval Office hall while he (supposedly) has a 40 minute talk with Putin. Trump’s a Vegas, pit-boss. He sees who at the table is less than worthless. But like fraudulent tariff gains, what would Trump do with a peace gained in Ukraine? Pivot to China so we can get our arses kicked? ” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

The Godfather Presidency – “When the FBI visited Deep Stater John Bolton early Friday morning, a line from The Godfather crept into my mind: “Today I settle all family business.” Surely I wasn’t the only one who hoped cable news would soon be reporting similar raids at the homes of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Brennan, James Comey, Jim Clapper, Susan Rice, and all the other co-conspirators responsible for the Russia Collusion Hoax, the Ukraine impeachment, the Hunter Biden laptop cover-up, and all the fraudulently predicated criminal investigations into President Trump and his associates.

Sports-betting is red hot, with the latest trend being 10-leg parlays with a (tiny) chance to pay off 100x+. Trading on margin (leverage) has reached new records.

LYRICS FOR THE WEEK ( GONE COUNTRY AND REBEL REBEL)

She’s been playing in a room on the strip for ten years in Vegas
Every night she looks in the mirror and she only ages
She’s been readin’ about Nashville and all the records that everybody’s buying
Says, I’m a simple girl myself, grew up on Long Island

So she packs her bags to try her hand
Says this might be my last chance

She’s gone country, look at them boots
She’s gone country, back to her roots
She’s gone country, a new kind of suit
She’s gone country, here she comes

Well the folk scene’s dead, but he’s holding out in the Village
He’s been writing songs, speaking out against wealth and privilege
He says, I don’t believe in money, but a man could make him a killin’
‘Cause some of that stuff don’t sound much different than Dylan

I hear down there it’s changed, you see
Well, they’re not as backward as they used to be

He’s gone country, look at his boots
He’s gone country, back to his roots
He’s gone country, a new kind of suit
He’s gone country, here he comes

He commutes to L.A., but he’s got a house in the Valley
But the bills are piling up and the pop scene just ain’t on the rally
And he says, honey, I’m a serious composer, schooled in voice and composition
But with the crime and the smog these days, this ain’t no place for children

Lord, it sounds so easy, this shouldn’t take long
Be back in the money in no time at all

He’s gone country, look at them boots
He’s gone country, back to his roots
He’s gone country, a new kind of suit
He’s gone country, here he comes

Yeah, he’s gone country, a new kind of walk
He’s gone country, a new kind of talk
He’s gone country, look at them boots
He’s gone country, oh, back to his roots

He’s gone country
He’s gone country
Everybody’s gone country
Yeah, we’ve gone county
The whole world’s gone country

You wanna be there when they count up the dudes

You’re a juvenile success
Because your face is a mess

THE BIG PICTURE

USA – your babies are dying – “Simple facts and important questions. I do not like hyperbolic headlines – it is not my style. I much prefer to just state the facts and let people have their own emotional response it. However, this topic deserves attention and has been ignored for too long. Here are the facts. The data is from CDC” – Dr Clare Craig

Oh, Please Mr. White Coat! – “Some of the worst things are the things we’ve become so used to that we’ve forgotten they’re among the worst things. The TSA comes to mind. Here’s another: Having to appeal to a White Coat to get medicine when you’re sick. That is to say, prescription medicine – which means most of the medicine that actually works, such as pain killers and inflammatory suppressors such as Prednisone. We are told we must get that prescription before we’re allowed to get the meds we need but which it requires a White Coat’s formal approval to confirm that we need. Which of course entails paying a White Coat, in addition to the supplication. Think about that for a minute. We are still (for now) allowed to fix our own cars; we do not have to obtain a prescription to be allowed to buy motor oil. But when we need fixing . . . .” – Eric Peters

Photo Illusion – “An interesting course of events is about to take place. We are all about to enter a time machine and return to the era before photography was invented. Humans were around living a rather civilized life for many hundreds of years, if not thousands, before this startling advancement in scientific technology. My, oh my, how did we survive? Rather well, actually. And soon, if not already, we will have to survive again without photography being a reliable presentation of objective reality—assuming it ever was. With the advent of AI art and AI movies, it is nearly impossible for the casual viewer to discern the accuracy of a photo or movie in its attempted depiction of reality. When invented, photography proved useful for documenting the present (at least that was its intention), allowing people in the future to remember the past. It will now lose that function.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

The creepy agenda behind Australia’s proposed “bedroom tax” – “An Australian think-tank has proposed a radical solution to the supposed “housing crisis” – tax people for unused bedrooms. If the state were to impose a tax on unoccupied bedrooms, whilst abolishing stamp duty, they will incentivise those people to sell their family homes and downsize, thus freeing up homes for young families looking to buy. But is that really how it would work? Of course not. What will happen is that newly incentivized sellers will bump up against hedge funds and private equity firms who are willing to pay 10-20% over market price. It’s no different in other countries around the world. Canada is following the US pattern, whilst private equity already own an estimated 37% of single family homes in Germany. In the UK, 2024 saw private equity firms invest £1.5billion in single family homes, with Blackstone buying over 4000 of them alone. According” – Kit Knightly

The Disastrous Cracker Barrel Rebrand Finally Gets an Explanation and It Will Surprise No One – “this wasn’t just a really bad idea from a restaurant looking to update itself. This was a years-long campaign to pressure and pull Cracker Barrel into ridding itself of its Southern personality and adopt a more neutral personality that pleased hard-leftists, many of whom don’t frequent those restaurants anyway. I can make the safe assumption that this pivot in the name of pleasing the most unpleasable people in the world is going to drive away whatever loyal base it had left. People who liked the restaurant for its Southern charm and likely felt it was relatable will probably no longer find it speaks to them. ” – Brandon Morse

How curious!  Jeffrey Epstein didn’t keep any child sex tapes even though he had his entire New York property, including bedrooms, wired with video cameras. Bill Clinton never got “massages,” despite flying on Epstein’s pedo-plane dozens of times.” – Ben Bartee

Zionism Is What It Does – “Zionism means exactly what we see before us today. Genocide. Ethnic cleansing. Apartheid. Nonstop violence and abuse. That’s what Zionism means. And anti-Zionism means opposing these things.” – Caitlin Johnstone

The Mysterious Release of Israeli Official Arrested in Las Vegas Pedo Sting: The Plot Thickens – “Further evidence the Trump admin is pro-pedo, and that the ‘anti-semite’ psy-op is working as intended. Alexandrovich stands out from his seven fellow arrestees in that he is an Israeli national who heads that country’s cyber-security directorate. So it goes without saying Alexandrovich ain’t no janitor. He’s a high-ranking bureaucrat in the Israeli system who reports directly to Bibi the Butcher. Turns out, in some people’s terribly deficient minds, you’re not supposed to criticize people belonging to a certain group – even when they are molesting children. Excuse my English, but fuck that.” – Anthony Colpo

Candace Owens – Israel and the Trump Administration Continue to Betray America! – “Candace Sons recently exposed how Israel continues to betray America. this time in relation to the debacle that just happened in Las Vegas where you had an individual that was arrested for trying to solicitate sex from a minor just released. Why? Because he happened to be from the government of our greatest ally in the Middle East, Israel, because he was a high-ranking cyber official. He was sent back essentially no questions asked. Let’s get her take on this and just wait until you hear what our DOJ was busy doing while this happened.” – Liberty Vault

Don’t Forget the Sun: Post-SHTF Solar Prep – “When people talk about “the big one” — grid down, collapse, SHTF, whatever flavor you want to call it — they usually focus on the obvious threats: food, water, security, medical supplies.

How Does One “Drain the Swamp” by Flooding the ‘Swamp?’ – “It seems Trump has an out when it comes to the lie of “draining the swamp,” as he is apparently using the tactic of extreme politicism in order to do the opposite of what he promised to his gullible braindead followers. By now, it is bloody obvious that all Trump has said are lies, but then anyone who expected something different, had already succumbed to blind ignorance and pathetic political worship. In light of reality, Trump’s ‘draining the swamp’ turned into a massive political flood of biblical proportion instead of the drought he promised. Only Noah could survive such a reversal as this.” – Gary D. Barnett

By the Batch – “Please everybody, extricate yourselves from the mud-wallow of cynicism. Naysayers arise and open your eyes! Sleepwalkers and black-pillers, smell the coffee and wake up! Sob-sisters dry your tears! We are marching into a promised land of accountability after all. Our country, you well know, has been sore beset under a long-running seditious coup orchestrated by an ever more insane Bolshevik-Jacobin syndicate of political reprobates seeking to erase every boundary between the real and the unreal since 2016, a year that now lives in infamy. All their malice and roguery has been focused on the odd figure who somehow rose to lead the opposition to their burgeoning color revolution, Mr. Trump, Grand juries are a sign that something serious is up. Evidence is being gathered by a new FBI, no longer dedicated to just covering-up its past crimes. ” – James Howard Kunstler

Let’s talk about…looming war in Venezuela? – “It’s all come out of nowhere, considering it was only a few days ago Trump was eagerly pursuing his Nobel Peace Prize with the Putin summit in Alaska followed by the Zelenskey et al. meeting at the White House. Only a few weeks ago, Maduro’s government renewed its oil license with Chevron and agreed to an exchange of political prisoners. Then, suddenly, the Trump administration issued a statement increasing the reward for Maduro’s arrest and accused the Venezuelan President of leading the Cartel of the Suns.” – Off Guardian

VENEZEULA: A Fentanyl Diversion For Coup & Oil – “As President Trump attempts to sway Zelenskky and the European leaders on a Peace Deal, he is sending war troops to Venezuela. As a result, 1.4 million militia military have been ordered to stand ready… The supposed purpose is the accusation that Maduro is directly in control of the drug cartels – particularly those sending Fentanyl into the US. In reality, Trump is the new CIA and coups are their forte. Trump wants Juan Guaido. Whether Maduro is legitimate of not should be of no consequence to the US. Given our own corrupt elections, we have no ground to stand on in interfering with other countries – many of which have corrupt elections as well. ” – Helena Glass

Ukraine Laundered Billions Of US Taxpayer Money – “U.S. taxpayers have funded Ukraine to the tune of $182.8 billion during the Joe Biden administration.

SITREP 8/22/25: Peace Talks Unravel and the March Goes On – “Another turn of the ceasefire carousel, and more deja vu.

Despite its size, the ATF has a long and impressive history of failure, covering up, and generally making the case for why government shouldn’t be blindly trusted. ” – Tom Knighton

Cracker Barrel’s Board Should Fire Its CEO Immediately – “How do you become CEO of Cracker Barrel without understanding your demographic? Cracker Barrel is learning the same lesson Bud Light did: fat, bearded, gun toting middle Americans not only dislike change — especially the “woke” kind — but will also turn on you for taking a staple brand they love and pile-driving it into the ground.” – Quoth the Raven

God Is Not Blessing America For Supporting Israel; He Is Cursing America For Supporting Israel – “Lindsey Graham says God will ‘curse’ US if it stops supporting Israel. The controversial remarks were met with fierce backlash, particularly by fellow Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene. Congresswoman Greene is 100% correct. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is regurgitating the Christian Zionist mantra that is an egregiously mangled interpretation of Genesis 12:3 that “God will ‘bless’ America if America blesses the State of Israel, and He will curse America if we don’t bless Israel, because all nations are ‘blessed’ by blessing Zionist Israel,” idiotically equating God’s promise to the righteous man Abraham in 2000 BC as a promise to the antichrist Zionist state in 2025 AD. Graham is one of the most repulsive, disgusting, sickening, hypocritical, duplicitous, inhumane, self-serving charlatans to ever exist. Since when does Lindsey Graham care a tinker’s dam about displeasing God? It is truly incredible that Christians have fallen for this “bless Israel” nonsense for so long.” – Chuck Baldwin  – GOOD READ FROM CHUCK!!!

STATE OF EMERGENCY! THE USA IS NOW A FAILED-STATE… (VIDEO) – “. Look, the United States of America is following the same pattern as every other failed empire going back as far as you want to go with regard to the monetary system. What is going on here?

The Student Debt Racket – “The student debt crisis isn’t a natural market phenomenon; it’s the predictable result of decades of government interference. Since 1980, average tuition and fees have increased by 1,200 percent, while consumer price inflation has risen only 236 percent over the same period. This massive increase has left students and families struggling to keep up, often forcing them to take on substantial debt just to attend college. Today, over 42.7 million Americans owe a combined $1.69 trillion in federal student loan debt.” – Derek Foster

Globalists Are Rebranding Their “Woke Capitalism” Agenda After Crushing Setbacks – “People who carefully track the machinations of globalist institutions might have noticed a disturbing atmosphere of silence since the 2024 elections. specifically the dramatic shift that has taken place since the pandemic when organizations like the World Economic Forum ripped the mask off completely and admitted their true authoritarian intentions. By the end of 2021, most of the world was under maniacal technocratic control and the globalists seemed to think they had western civilization by the balls.” – Brandon Smith

Another Federal War on Free Speech – “On March 25, six masked federal agents seized a Turkish graduate student on the streets of Somerville, Massachusetts. Rumeysa Ozturk, who was wearing a hijab, was a Fulbright scholar working on a doctorate at Tufts University. Ozturk didn’t know what was happening when she was first grabbed and later said she thought she might be killed. Almost a year before she was seized on the streets near Boston, Ozturk had coauthored an op-ed piece for the Tufts student newspaper criticizing the university’s refusal to divest from Israel despite “credible accusations of … indiscriminate slaughter of Palestinian civilians and plausible genocide.” That was all it took to nullify the formal student visa that the U.S. government had previously approved for Ozturk. Trump administration officials talked as if alleged protesting was sufficient to banish any foreigner they targeted. But the First Amendment doesn’t specify that it only applies to people that the White House approves. ” – James Bovard

An Interesting Historical Omission – “Almost everyone knows that Germany invaded Poland in September of 1939 and on account of that, the British and French declared war on Germany. Thus began World War II, as every schoolboy knows. How many schoolboys know that the Soviet Union also invaded Poland shortly after the Germans did? How many who do know that have ever asked how come Britain and France did not declare war on Soviet Russia? Very few. No doubt because they have not been encouraged to ask such impolite questions by the government schools, which impart a redacted and politically correct version of “history.”” – Eric Peters

Trump’s Biggest Lie: ‘I’ve Settled Six Wars in Six Months’ – “Conman President Donald Trump knows his first half year plus now as second term president has been sheer disaster. His constant back and forth flip flops, interspersed with his trademark belligerent threats have the rest of the world largely trying to stay clear of his grandiose sized ego and ever-changing demands. Trade-wise, his tariff aggression has most other nations trying to avoid him and his self-undoing tariffs, resolving to take their business elsewhere to actively court new partners for trade and commerce. Trump is being forced to realize he and the US are not the center of the world but just another dying paper tiger ex-empire going down in flames.

Federal Debt Surges in July as Trump’s Spending Spree Continues – “During a July 20 interview, on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick made an unbelievable claim.

He then went on to say: “You got to remember — this is going to pay off our deficit.” No one who pays attention to federal fiscal policy actually believed this statement. And, if there was any doubt about the dubious claim, July’s Treasury report, released on Tuesday, makes it clear just how wrong Lutnick is. According to the July report, federal deficits are a long way from being paid off by new taxes on imports. Instead, federal deficits are getting bigger as Trump’s spending spree shows no signs of abating.” – Ryan McMaken

THE BIG PICTURE

Boomers, Zoomers, Doom and Gloomers – “Zoomers and even most Boomers cannot comprehend that the destruction of the American dream and middle classes was a planned economic demolition. American manufacturing was exported to Asia and Mexico. In violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, monopolies were permitted in every sector, from telecommunications to death “prevention” management, to banking, agriculture, and technology. Millions of foreigners were imported legally and illegally to drive wages down or keep them stagnant. Zoomers are misguided in blaming Boomers for their current economic struggles. The grifter class of criminal controllers shifted the nation from one of industry and grit and localized communities provisioning food and necessities, to one of deeply centralized financialization by the forces of parasitic speculation. Everything was fueled by grotesque deficit spending that benefited special interests, accumulating a ticking time bomb of debt that would one day be dropped at the feet of future generations. That “one day” is rapidly approaching.” – The Good Citizen   – GOOD READ FROM THE CITIZEN!!!

A Hint of Peace—In Economic Calamity – “Trump needs to give something to his base for his refusal to carry-out his agreement to release the Epstein Files—an indication of something Trump does not want to be accountable for.

If Trump, under any scenario, wants peace, he has to disassociate with Netanyahu, who hopefully Trump regards as another in his long list of losers. Trump could force Bibi—and a scripturally- gifted, greater Israel—to back off. Awaiting Trump’s next move, what about AI and the state of the economy. Americans don’t understand how a few $100 in silver dimes might mean the difference between life and death. They get it that when the dollar falls, all that’s left is barter, but they don’t reflect on what’s left to barter with. AI will do nothing to help with that.” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

The Middle East: The Decisive Battleground of WW3 – “World War 3 is already well underway, though most fail to recognize it. The conflict is playing out just below the threshold of direct military conflict. Nevertheless, it is a high-stakes struggle among the world’s major powers to determine the future world order, just as in previous world wars. This is World War 3. It’s happening right now and unfolding rapidly. In fact, World War 3 has been ongoing for over a decade.” – Nick Giambruno

Why the Drug War? – “: The entire drug-war apparatus and the massive militarized drug-war police state exist for the purpose of preventing Americans from possessing and ingesting unapproved substances that they wish to possess and ingest. I consider that amazing. Let’s divide American drug consumers into two broad categories: those who are addicted to drugs and those who simply use them because it makes them feel good. In either case, why is the federal government so hell-bent on preventing all these people from consuming what they want to consume?” – Jacob G. Hornberger – JACOB HAS SOME VERY GOOD POINTS IN THIS ARTICLE!!!!!!!!

Putin, Trump, and the Elusive “Peace” – “Trump’s Alaska summit with Putin yielded no ceasefire, but it revealed the contours of a possible peace—where diplomacy, exhaustion, and hard limits define the battlefield’s end.” – Victor Davis Hanson

Ursula von der Leyen told to leave room during multilateral talks at Trump’s Washington summit – not a “leader” nor an “elected head of state” – “To begin with, there is no singular European people or unified European national interest on behalf of which von der Leyen could ever speak. She has no meaningful budget, she commands no army and she has no political legitimacy.” – eugyppius

Trump’s lost cause: Why Ukraine and Europe will never make peace with Russia – “If a deal is struck, it will not lead to a lasting peace because Europe’s leaders have it in their heads that their continued existence as a global power depends on Russia’s strategic defeat.” – Leo Hohmann

The truth about the Epstein saga and why puerile partisan perspectives perpetually miss the point – “Epstein wasn’t a Democrat scandal or a Republican scandal. He was an intelligence scandal.” – Kayla Carman

Does The Security Deal of Ukraine Include Child Trafficking? – “The Security Deal of the Ukraine peace plan is apparently, front and center with Trump directing The Movie. The EU leaders have seemingly been told to be bobble-dolls as they dance with broad smiles on their otherwise vacant sensibilities. Zelenskky looks like he bought his ‘jacket’ off the rack at Walmart and many moons older than his years. And inspite of the Pandemic, Olena Zelenskka has opened a new foundation as of 2022. It is an Open Secret that Ukraine was and maintains its status as the source for kidnapped children and their transport to the EU aboard the Grain Train – these children are bought by bidders online no questions asked, no followup.” – Helena Glass

4,000 Troops and 4,500,000 Militiamen: What to Know About the U.S.-Venezuela Standof – “The U.S. and Venezuela appear to be heading towards a standoff with neither country indicating a willingness to back down. The Venezuelan government on Monday mobilized more than four million militia troops seemingly in response to reports of U.S. naval movements in the region.” – Miranda Jeyaretnam

Bed, Bath & Beyond flees California, tells the world exactly why – “California has created one of the most overregulated, expensive, and risky environments for businesses in America. It’s a system that makes it harder to employ people, harder to keep doors open, and harder to deliver value to customers. The result? Higher taxes, higher fees, higher wages that many businesses simply cannot sustain, and endless regulations that strangle growth. Even when the state announces a budget surplus, it’s built on the backs of ordinary citizens who are paying too much and businesses who are squeezed until they break.” – Monica Showalter  – THANK YOU, “WANNA BE PRESIDENT”, GAVIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE BIG PICTURE

From Fiat Everything to Real Everything – “Why Old-World Values Are the Ultimate Modern Rebellion. Here’s the uncomfortable reality: we’re all creatures of the system we’re critiquing. Every convenience that makes modern life possible also makes modern control inevitable. The same technologies that enable global communication enable global surveillance. The same platforms that democratize information also weaponize attention. The same systems that promise freedom deliver sophisticated bondage.” – Joshua Stylman

Land of the Deadliest Sins – “Hello Sodom and Gomorrah. Christianity has always emphasized the severity of the Seven Deadly Sins. The Catholic Church defined them as pride, greed, envy, wrath, gluttony, lust, and sloth. Looking around at America 2.0, it’s hard to escape the conclusion that Deadly Sinning comes as naturally to us as betrayal or dishonesty, which apparently don’t qualify. Pride can be seen in the scrunched up duckfaces of every young girl, as she posts selfie after selfie, like all her fellow narcissist friends. It can be seen in the face of the bully, after he’s sucker punched someone. You know, as in the Knockout Game. But now we have a Pride Month. And it’s devoted to something no decent person should ever be proud of. But there is no pride in say, being a faithful husband or wife for a half century. Or just being a good Samaritan.” – Donald Jeffries  – EXCELLENT READ FROM DONALD!!!

Your Favorite Mega-Church Preacher Just Bought His Third Ferrari – With Money You Thought Was Going to Charity – “You Cannot Serve Both God and Money. The names are familiar to anyone who has channel-surfed past religious programming: And perhaps most prominently today, Joel Osteen, whose Lakewood Church in Houston draws 50,000 attendees weekly while he lives in a $10.5 million mansion. Osteen preaches that God wants his followers to be wealthy, healthy, and successful—they just need to have enough faith and, crucially, give generously to his ministry. These prosperity preachers have fundamentally inverted Christ’s teachings. Jesus repeatedly warned about the spiritual dangers of wealth.” – Lily-Rose Dawson

Killing the Messengers of the Covid Crimes – “From research and from my personal experience of seeing changes in my wife in her moving away from dementia by receiving Ivermectin, I am coming to a significant conclusion. It seems that humanity is being blessed with the discovery of a new wonder drug that should be cheap and readily available throughout the world. Certainly Dr. William Makis, who is now under siege here in Alberta by Big Pharma’s lawyer/cops, has been demonstrating scientifically that Ivermectin is very effective in pushing back and even eliminating Stage 4 Turbo Cancer.” – Anthony James Hall  – LONG BUT GOOD ARTICLE!!!

The Devil Wore a Lab Coat – “One man’s grave is another man’s paycheck. In Canada, mine closures accelerated in the 1990s and 2000s as part of the UN’s Agenda 21/Agenda 2030 “sustainability” framework. Workers were told it was about saving the planet. But the timing was no accident. As jobs disappeared, Big Pharma moved in. In once-productive towns, paychecks were replaced by prescriptions. Men who once dug coal to power nations were now swallowing pills to numb their despair. To coin the old phrase by Alexander Graham Bell, the Scottish-born inventor, “when one door closes another door opens”…The coal mines closed. The pharma mines opened.” – Connie Shields

Comrades: “Affordable housing” and “green energy” are Communist double-speak for land seizure.” – Yuri Bezmenov

‘Don’t be a sucker’ — 1947 had it figured out – “Back in 1947, the US War Department released a short film called Don’t Be a Sucker. It’s hokey, dated, and full of men in hats explaining things in ‘Very Serious Voices.’ But the message still cuts through: demagogues succeed by dividing us. Is it propaganda? Of course. It came out of the War Department — you can practically smell the patriotic varnish. Cue the flag, the stern voiceover, the promise that Americans are too clever to ever fall for dictatorship like those silly Europeans.” – Collapse Life.

10 Rest Stops on the Way to Olduvai Cliff – “Life before industrial collapse. What’s the Olduvai Cliff? The term comes from the Olduvai Theory, which predicts that industrial civilization will have a short lifespan. After peaking in energy use and complexity, society will face a steep and sudden decline (the “cliff”) leading to a permanent return to pre-industrial conditions. If you’re reading this, you probably think collapse is coming. Maybe soon, maybe later. Here are ten things worth doing before we reach the cliff.” – Sarah Connor  – GOOD POST FROM SARAH!!!

It’s not good to be Hungarian, you see, it must be made to more closely reflect the desire of the international organizations to manipulate the color of the population, the religion of the population, of all of its client states.

It was a calculated, brutal regime change operation that destroyed a nation for the sake of geopolitical gain.” – Joseph Solis-Mullen

Are They Lying to Us About Inflation? – “The government lies about almost literally everything, except perhaps what time it is – and probably it would lie about that, too, if it served the government’s purposes. So why do most of us believe that inflation – the waning buying power of the money we’re forced to use by the government – is what it says it is? Here’s what I know and so can attest to: Eating at McDonald’s has become a kind of near-luxury dining experience that the parents of today’s teens are having a time paying for. How many 17-year-olds can afford a $40 bag of fast food? How many can afford a car, at all? How many adults can afford their first house? If the stats are correct – about the average of first-time home buyers being well into middle aged – then the answer is not many. Yes, they are lying to us, again.” – Eric Peters

Whitney Webb EXPOSES Clinton, Trump, Epstein & More! (VIDEO) – Sabby Sabs  – AS USUAL, A GOOD INFORMATIVE LISTEN FROM WHITNEY!!!!

Shall We Forget the Epstein Business? – “It appears that the Epstein Business is slipping past the event horizon of the memory hole. It is not just the Epstein Business, either. It is the memory-holing of the Epstein Business by the people who are likely either participants in whatever sordidness was going on or aiding and abetting the shoving-underthe-rug of the sordidness – for reasons all too easy and awful to guess. Instead, the diversion we are presented with is a pretend-play investigation of Adam “shifty” Schiff and the ex-president whose name is Barry, not “Barack.” The latter becoming Blackish when it was perceived (correctly) as being politically advantageous to be Blackish. Just not too much (per Joe Biden). Nothing, it goes without saying, is going to happen to any of them – beyond sturm-und-drang Tweets that people who smoke Hopium believe means something is going to happen.” – Eric Peters

It is what it is – “Canadians, for the most part, have chosen socialism. I’m not sure that the majority understand what that means and will mean but it is what it is.” – Sylvia Shawcross

RESISTANCE 👉BOYCOTT + PROTEST👈 a personal passion, and a lifelong commitment – “All my adult life (almost 60 years now) I have boycotted pharmaceuticals, chemicals in food, animal cruelty and top-down governance wherever they rear their ugly heads. I have simultaneously protested on the front lines and, for the recent decade, via the medium of writing.” – Frances Leader

Carbon Butter – You Will Eat Synthetic Food – ““You will eat bugs,” as the infamous Klaus Schwab line goes, was merely the beginning of what the globalists intent on ushering in the Great Reset have planned for the masses. Food production is bad for the environment, therefore, the people must resort to lab-created synthetic products. All of this may sound like it is coming from a dystopian novel but the plans have been enacted. The latest synthetic product is carbon butter—a butter-like substance made using carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and oxygen to synthesize fat molecules without animals, oils, or plants. Savor, the startup company in Batavia, Illinois that is creating this product is backed by none other than Bill Gates.” – Martin Armstrong

The “death care” drive to poison babies before they are born or on the first day of their life at the latest continues unabated, and yes, it is a critical agenda item that spans every administration, regardless of political party in charge.” – Sasha Latypova

An Offer He Can’t Refuse – “Volodymyr Zelenskyy is dropping in at the White House today so that Mr. Trump can read him the riot act. It’s that simple. Somewhere to or from Alaska, Mr. Trump concluded that a ceasefire would not work, for the excellent reason that seven previous ceasefires in Ukraine failed, and only reinforced distrust and disappointment between the warring parties. Instead, the goal is a peace settlement, an end to the war. The USA and Russia cannot make peace in Ukraine because the war is between Ukraine and Russia. The USA can only mediate and propose terms.” – James Howard Kunstler

Russia Did NOT Invade Ukraine – “A totally transparent blatant lie has been turned into a truth throughout the Western world. The lie is that Russia invaded Ukraine. I will provide the factual history which is easy to verify. When Washington overthrew the Ukrainian government in 2014 and installed a puppet, Washington relied on the Banderites to push the government into hostility with the Russian settled areas of Ukraine, areas such as Crimea and Donbas, that originally were part of Russia.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Bumbling Towards a Nobel Prize? – “Trump sees only fragments (with no coherent overview), of what the US has done to foster the Russia/China alliance—making it almost unassailable. He also doesn’t understand that BRICS is a reaction to political instability caused by the US—and Trump. Trump doesn’t understand that BRICS is not about a currency to rival the dollar. Nor a military alliance. BRICS is about doing business—with trusted levels of predicability. Understanding who made-up the Russian delegation, next to the US team, is but a joke. The Russians are seasoned diplomats, playing the long game, while the US teams are Zionist, neocon realtors.” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

Today’s Outcome In DC Could Leave The US Much Stronger, And Europe Far Weaker – “Following what was expected to be a Friday of high geopolitical drama for markets, but wasn’t, today may prove that event instead. So, on security guarantees, Europe will say, “The US”; the US will say, “Europe’; and the US will win. Just as Trump told Zelenskyy “You don’t have the cards,” the UK and Europe don’t either. For those expecting the US and Europe to do more economically, i.e., secondary sanctions on buyers of Russian oil and/or action vs. Russian oil at sea, neither is prepared for the pain and geopolitical / geoeconomic escalation it would involve: if they were, such sanctions would have been placed on China already, as one example. Obviously, they haven’t, and Trump just made clear they likely won’t be – Europe didn’t even need to say it.” – Michael Every   – GOOD GEOPOLITICAL/ECONOMICAL ANALYSIS FROM MICHAEL!!!

Zelensky Drags Traveling Circus to Town for One Last Encore – “First, let us mention the most obvious thing, which is that Russia’s primary confirmed victory in the talks—as opposed to the various speculative parameters now floating about—was aligning the US with Putin’s demand of “agreement before ceasefire”, rather than Zelensky and Europe’s rival demand of “ceasefire before agreement”.” – Simplicius

Zelensky, Not Trump or Putin, is the Threat to Peace – “For the brutal war to finally end, the Ukrainian president must go.” – Brandon J. Weichert

Ursula’s big success: More U.S. tariffs – a deal to cry about but presented as victory – “According to media outlets and, of course, politicians – after all, the media is the mouthpiece for politicians – Ursula von der Leyen, representing the EU, achieved a major victory. The Americans agreed to impose tariffs of only 15% on European products! Von der Leyen’s success is so great that the EU will be forced to buy energy from the Americans for the sum of $750 billion and $600 billion for defense equipment from the United States. In short, the Europeans will pay dearly for the incompetence of the clowns who, in a completely unprofessional manner, govern the European Union.” – Sonja van den Ende

Rumours of night time training camps in Great Yarmouth (short VIDEO) – StarmerOut on X  – SO WHAT’S GOING ON IN ENGLAND!!!

John Brennan Just Showed Us Why Nobody Should Ever Take Him Seriously – “Democrats are already making fools of themselves over President Donald Trump’s Friday meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Now, one of them is going full conspiracy theory over the matter. Former CIA Director John Brennan, during a recent appearance on MSNBC, suggested that Putin may have placed a microchip in Trump’s limousine as they rode together to the meeting site. So, Brennan actually believes that a foreign head of state would be stupid enough to try placing some type of bug in the presidential limo while they were on the way to discuss an end to a war. Or perhaps, he’s just doing what he does best: Peddling false narratives.” – Jeff Charles

Mamdani’s “Affordability” Agenda Could be Costly – “His plans include more free or low-cost services, including creating city-owned grocery stores, making all city buses free, freezing rents on stabilized apartments, providing free childcare and raising taxes on the wealthy. While that’s worrisome enough in a city facing potential annual budget gaps of $13 billion, a far more insidious threat to a Mamdani-run city are his anti-law enforcement and pro-offender stances and policy prescriptions.” – Open the Books

How Zionism became orthodoxy for the Jewish religion – “Zionists have managed to conflate Judaism with Zionism, and the few anti-Zionist Jews lack the capacity to carry Jewish identity into the future. The Zionist lobby uses the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism to silence critics of Zionism. A common retort is that Zionism and Judaism are distinct things. This is true now, was even truer in the past, but may very well not be true in the future.” – Bruna Frascolla

New GPS Data Reveals Exactly Who Showed Up At White House Protests – “67 devices tied to federal government employees, with access to secured federal buildings (DoD, VA, DHS, DOJ, FBI, Treasury).” -Tyler Durden

US Pressure Might Inadvertently Bring India & China Back Together – “Any meaningful improvement of Sino-Indo ties, especially in the economic dimension, could prompt Trump to either walk back his hardline policy on India to court it away from China or punitively double down on this approach.” – Andrew Korybko

Home builders boost sales incentives to 5-year high as they struggle to sell newly built homes – “Two-thirds of builders are offering sales incentives to lure home buyers” – Aarthi Swaminathan

America Don’t Need No “Independent” Fed – “Talk about hiding in plain sight. Here is possibly the most important graph ever about the flagging state of the US economy and the utter failure of Washington’s constant efforts during the last two decades to “stimulate” improved outcomes. To wit, the US industrial production index—which measures the sum of manufacturing, energy, mining, and utility output—marched straight uphill at a 3.3% annual rate between 1954 and 2007. Yet since then it has essentially plateaued, rising by just 0.10% per annum during the past 17 years. That’s right. The growth rate of America’s industrial foundation has plunged by 97% since the pre-crisis peak in Q4 2007.” – David Stockman

The Last Thing We Need Right Now is a Fed Rate Cut – “Pressure on Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve continues to mount as both Wall Street and the White House demand more easy money to keep asset price inflation accelerating ever upward. These inflationists also hope that easy money-policy will somehow reverse the current stagnating trend in employment. In recent months, both President Trump and the usual Wall Street outlets have insisted that the Fed reduce the target policy interest rate to ensure that stock prices and real estate prices continue to skyrocket ever upward. This is the last thing ordinary Americans need right now. Yes, continually rising asset prices are good for firms and individuals who already own large amounts of assets. These people have been pushing for lower interest rates for decades now, because lower interest rates function as a subsidy for asset owners and fuel rising asset prices.” – Ryan McMaken

How Long Would The Average American Last Without Electricity? – ” It’s a haunting question, and the truth isn’t comforting. Electricity is so woven into our daily lives that most people don’t even notice how many small things depend on it. Flip a switch, and the light comes on. Open the fridge, and food stays cold. Plug in the phone, and you’re connected to everything. But pull the plug on all of that, nationwide, not just for a stormy afternoon, and you’d see just how fragile the cord really is.” – Bob Rodgers

THE BIG PICTURE

Own Your Sins – “The reality of my life is that I am daily in need of forgiveness. I am daily needing to repent of one mistake or another, of one sin or another. We make mistakes. We screw up. That’s a problem, because we do not get to unmake any of our mistakes. Good or bad, right or wrong, for better or worse, whatever we do immediately becomes part of our past, and everyone’s past is fixed and unchanging. It is because the past is permanent that we all stand in sore need of forgiveness.” – Peter Nayland Kust

The Real DC Crime Numbers Will Shock You (Hint: They Don’t Support Federal Takeover) – “Trump Claims ‘Victory’ After One Week – But These Crime Stats Tell a VERY Different Story. Fox News and other outlets have breathlessly reported arrests and drug seizures as evidence of the federalization strategy’s immediate effectiveness. But a closer examination of the actual crime data reveals a troubling disconnect between political messaging and statistical reality. The numbers don’t lie, even when the narrative does. Crime data expert Jeff Asher noted that “violent crime in DC is currently declining and the city’s reported violent crime rate is more or less as low now as it has been since the 1960s. The city’s official violent crime rate in 2024 was the second lowest that has been reported since 1966.” This decline began well before any federal intervention:” – The Wise Wolf

WE NEED LAW AND ORDER IN WASHINGTON – “It’s rare I agree with President Trump, but this time I applaud his sending of federal agents, the National Guard and more police into DC. This is a real emergency. Washington needs martial law. But authoritarian governance is, as was said of fire, ‘a useful servant, but a dangerous master.’ The draconian steps taken by Trump in Los Angeles and now Washington are very dangerous. The Trump administration is already too drunk on power and could become quickly addicted to using martial law to enforce its policies.” – Eric S. Margolis

What’s the Driving Force Behind Trump’s Tariff Merry-Go-Round? – “A one-word answer explains. Can you figure it out? Trump has disrupted this normal deal making process with demands that he always be the winner. The irony of the setup is Trump’s deal demands are very often counterproductive to the US. I can only imagine the howls if a Democrat president did these things. The worst part is Trump treats allies worse than China. The bigger the ally, the more the pounding. At the top of the ally pounding list is Canada, followed by Mexico.” – Mish

An Alaska summit menu for Putin was left on a printer and the mainstream media loses its mind – “Some intern-level documents were left on a printer in Alaska regarding the summit, one of which was the menu of the food served, and the media lost its mind: In their minds, everything is classified, or to be classified, there are too many ways an enemy could put knowledge of filet mignon to its own uses.” – Monica Showalter

Declassified: CIA’s Covert Ukraine Invasion Plan – “In August 1957, the CIA secretly drew up elaborate plans for an invasion of Ukraine by US special forces. It was hoped neighbourhood anti-Communist agitators would be mobilized as footsoldiers to assist in the effort.The mission was forecast to be a delicate and difficult balancing act, as much of Ukraine’s population held “few grievances” against Russians or Communist rule, which could be exploited to foment an armed uprising. The CIA’s invasion plan never formally came to pass. Yet, areas of Ukraine forecast by the Agency to be most welcoming of US special forces were precisely where support for the Maidan coup was highest. Given what transpired elsewhere in Ukraine following February 2014, other sections of the CIA report take on a distinctly eerie character.” – Kit Klarenberg  – LOOKS LIKE THIS WAS IN THE MAKING FOR QUITE SOME TIME UNTIL 2014 THEY FINALLY GOT THE BALL ROLLING AND FINALLY PISSED RUSSIA OFF!!!!!!!!!!!

THE BIG PICTURE

The Forbidden Question – “My personal experiences seem to lag a bit behind the general population. I have not, until recently, noticed too many people succumbing to strange cancers. Now, quite a few have come up in my personal life, as well as in my professional life. We have, of course, heard for years that one of the fallouts from the irresponsible release of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine was the possibility of increased cases of all sorts of cancers. Proponents of this view argue that the vaccines, introduced globally in late 2020, have triggered an unprecedented increase in cancer diagnoses, particularly among younger individuals, with cancers presenting as unusually aggressive and resistant to treatment. They point to anecdotal reports from clinicians and pathologists who claim to have observed a rise in rare and rapidly progressing cancers, such as cholangiocarcinoma, lymphomas, and triple-negative breast cancer, since the vaccine rollout. So, what is the forbidden question? Obviously, it is, “Were they vaxxed?” when we hear of an unusual cancer death or diagnosis. We typically do not ask that question for obvious reasons, one of them being that we already know the answer.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

NEWS (QUITE A FEW AND VARYING OPINIONS ON THE SUMMIT)

Historic Summit: An Empty and Underwhelming PR Spectacle, But Still Good For Relations – “The long-awaited Trump-Putin summit came and went in Anchorage, Alaska:. The cartoonish staging of the event coordination was another Trump ‘special’, straight from the playbook of his teenage-boy fever dream, stacking warplanes like matchbox toys, and even arranging for a crude B-2 Spirit and F-35 stealth bomber flyover above Putin’s head just as he made his way down the hastily-draped runner as some kind of strongman ‘power move’ and intimidation tactic, meant to evoke the recent Iranian strikes: This type of antic stunt ages very badly—it’s gimmicky, low-impulse, and signals to the counterparty—in this case, Putin—that you care more about domestic optics than establishing an atmosphere of true rapport and cooperation; i.e. it’s more a show of bravado to the domestic audience and critics. To the rest of the world, such displays lack taste and class.” – Simplicius   – 👍 WELL SAID BY SIMPLICIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Alaska summit was a success. The challenge is to make it last – “This is the moment when the US has to stick to a course of normalization with Russia no matter what the EU and Kiev want” – Tarik Cyril Amar

How you know the Putin-Trump meeting was a success – “Because all the Russia-haters said it was a failure The Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska ended a few short hours after it started, and it was by any intelligent standard a great meeting. We don’t have all the details yet, but the verdict is still clear. Let’s first establish why the critics have no leg to stand on. From at least March 2022, no Western leader, whether in Europe or North America, ever bothered to meet with Putin. You would think that because there is a war going on, that such a meeting would be priority #1, but apparently they all failed this basic test: Macron, Mertz, Starmer, Meloni, Kristersson, Stubb and all the rest — most importantly, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. None of them lifted a finger to speak with Putin. Only one or two of them even placed a phone call to Putin over those three years. They were useless, which turned into being counterproductive.” – Anton Wahlman

Trump Grades Putin Summit a ’10’, But it Was a Spectacular Flop – “The summit is over and the next round is reportedly cancelled.” – Mish

Trump Said It: “There’s No Better Word Than Stupid.” – “For anyone who still thinks Donald Trump does not represent the interests of what is called “the deep state” but is actually the shallow or official US state, it is time to think again. If he is not a figurehead for those alleged hidden forces, then he will agree to a Russia-Ukraine settlement on Russia’s fundamental terms – that is, a mutual security agreement that stipulates the pulling back of US/NATO forces encircling Russia, etc. – when he meets with Putin in Alaska today. There will be no further delay.” – Edward Curtin

What’s Standing In The Way Of A Grand Compromise On Ukraine? – “The onus is now on Zelensky to reciprocate Putin’s widely perceived willingness to compromise for peace. Putin and Trump publicly confirmed that they found a lot of common ground during their three-hour-long talks in Anchorage, but no grand compromise on Ukraine was reached due to “a couple of big [points]…” – Andrew Korybko

‘Democrat’ becoming synonymous with criminality, anti-Americanism – “There is no other way to say it: today’s Democrats have a love-affair with criminals, violence, and vulgarity. Thus, they clearly favor illegal immigrants over citizens, criminals over the law-abiding, and chaos over the Constitution. The examples are legion, inexhaustible. To wit:” – Eric Utter

Can Responsibility to Defend and Responsibility to Protect Be Reconciled? – “Trump deployed the National Guard to assist with cleaning up the town. Congress, the deep state, and possibly the courts will go along with this use of, and show of, force not because it is necessary or constitutional, but because it is good for them politically and materially, and because it sets one more useful precedent for federal power. It’s truly a win-win for them. Rather than a philosopher who thinks about how things should be – is man to be self-governed? should the state be limited? is war immoral? –Trump is a technician who assesses the “problem” with the “unit” and seeks to repair or replace it.  Trump is far more sincere and patriotic than either of the Clintons, which makes him a more attractive candidate, and his fix-it mentality has made him a minor threat to those actually moving and shaking the increasingly brittle US empire. ” – Karen Kwiatkowski

When the Data Is Bad, Just Lie – “Bad jobs numbers? Just say they’re good. High inflation? Just claim it’s low. While the old adage “numbers don’t lie” may have a ring of truth, in reality, people lie a lot, and governments lie constantly—and they’re releasing the data that all the big decisions are supposed to be based on. For example, if people need three different jobs to house and feed their families, that’s clearly not good. But the government will paint it as a great thing by telling you that the jobs numbers are strong, failing to mention that the economy is actually so weak that people need multiple income streams just to survive.” – Peter Schiff  – GREAT POINT FROM PETER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A World Of Fiat – “What isn’t often mentioned is how this massive trade deficit ever came about to the extent that it has to begin with. If the world still operated on a gold standard these mega imbalances would have been impossible. Consider a world where every dollar, yen, or euro was backed by a real, physical piece of gold in a vault. That’s the gold standard. In this system, if the U.S. wanted to buy more goods from other countries than it was selling, it would have to pay in gold. That means gold would be flowing out of the U.S. and into the hands of its trading partners. As the U.S. gold reserves dwindled, the amount of dollars in circulation would shrink, making dollars more valuable. At the same time, the countries receiving all that gold would see their money supply grow, making their currencies less valuable.” – MN Gordon
