donald-trump | Nothing New Under The Sun 2016

Up on the east side of Manhattan
They’re still dancing with the stars
While over in sub-prime city
It’s getting ugly in the local bars
Watching the news only gives me the blues
There’s too much going wrong
It takes the likes of me to hit the reboot key
And write a high speed drinking song

Millionaires losing everything
Hey, welcome to the other side of life
There goes the yacht, there goes the Rolls
But you get to keep your wife
And don’t forget the auto makers
Swimmin’ upstream like a trout
They let the shit hit the fan and then they made a plan
We’ve got a lot to drink about

There’s the price of oil, the war of the spoils
Here’s your bucket for the big bailout
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan
We’ve got a lot to drink about

Now Madoff made off with all the money
And his clients are down to skunk weed
Repeat after me, it’s so easy to see
We’re only talking simple greed
And those Somalian pirates are counting all their gold
While Bush and Cheney ain’t around
And all the good lookers seem to be Russian hookers
From Key West to London town

There’s the price of oil, the war of the spoils
Here’s your bucket for the big bailout
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan
We’ve got a lot to drink about

So pour me some Tennessee whiskey
Pour me a fine Jamaican rum
That loud mouth soup
Can get ya kind of looped
Tequila, of course I’ll have some!

Well, the family devalues
And little children plan their net worth
And the truth, wherever it’s hiding
Can’t be found on Google Earth
Citibank’s buying jets with our money
I wanna flog ’em with a buggy whip
Let’s hope Barack and Joe won’t let the volcano blow
And patch the hole in our sinking ship

There’s the price of oil, the war of the spoils
Here’s your bucket for the big bailout
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan
We’ve got a lot to drink about

Recession, oppression, depression, good God
CNN keeps bummin’ me out
I can’t take another doomsday minute
Got a lot to drink, a lot to think, a lot to drink about

God bless America

THE BIG PICTURE

“Lab-grown meat could erase the need for farming” – “But why? Why would the “Great Reset” want to “erase the need for farming”? It’s not like farming and farmers exist independently of the global exploitation machine. The only answer that seems to satisfy is “control”. One more filtration layer between you and independence. After all, anyone can raise their own chickens, pigs or cows – it’s just a matter of space. Even if you’re lacking the resources to become self-sufficient, small local farms are an option that avoids Big Farmer. But if lab-grown meat replaces natural meat, that makes corporations your only source for meat at all. It means the chemical content and nutritional value can be controlled, and makes scarcity easy to engineer as well. And perhaps more importantly, it is pretend, it is unreal. It is one more process that removes humans from a grounding in the real world.” – Kit Knightly

A Journey Into The Real ID Twilight Zone With ChatGPT – “It all started with a harmless question about my flight.” – Noel Spangle – MAY BE WRITTEN AS SATIRE, BUT TOO CLOSE TO THE TRUTH, UNFORTUNATELY!!!!

Digital Prison in the Making? WikiLeaks Blasts Palantir for Spying & Gaza Massacre – “Gaza Killware Palantir provided an AI-powered targeting tools to Israeli forces that they used in deadly strikes on civilians and aid workers in Gaza, according to The Nation. Palantir’s Ukraine AI War Lab Time reported that Palantir turned Ukraine into an “AI war lab” in June 2022, offering its services for free. In February 2023, CEO Alex Karp bragged that Palantir was responsible for “most of the targeting” by Ukrainian forces — whose military has a record of striking residential areas and civilian infrastructure.” – Ekaterina Blinova

Saving Greenery From the Greens – “It should be mentioned more often than it is that the guy who wants the rest of us to refrigerate our homes with ‘heat’ pumps, or half-fill the kettle – Ed Miliband – has two kitchens in his own house, presumably in case he loses one. It’s a relevant point, isn’t it, that the people in charge of environmental policy get to do so with such fashionable North London hypocrisy? The immiserating effects of the Government’s Net Zero obsession are well documented. Additionally, in fact worse, climate alarmism is generating more and more excuses for state incursions into what used to be the private space, orchestrated by people financially and culturally insulated from the whole madness.” – Sean Walsh

Geothermal Gold Rush: U.S. Digs Deep To Power the Future – “Let’s tap the energy bonanza beneath our feet.” – Neil Chatterjee

The far-reaching tentacles of private equity — “If you rent a home in the United States, there’s nearly a 1 in 10 chance your landlord is a private equity firm. The same odds apply if you show up at a privately run emergency room. And for 12 million workers — mostly in low-wage jobs like fast food, retail, or security — the boss at the very top of the corporate ladder is private equity. Private equity firms make their money by buying up companies or property, taking control, cutting costs, and then selling them off for a profit. On paper, it’s about efficiency. In reality, it often means layoffs, higher prices, and degraded services.” – Collapse Life

Can Your Phone Read Your Mind? – “Have you ever been thinking about something and then an ad for that very thing comes up on your phone? It isn’t just a coincidence when that happens. Our phones are the greatest surveillance devices that have ever been created in the entire history of humanity. When you carry a phone with you, you are carrying around a microphone, a camera, a location tracking device and a social media hub all rolled into one. ” – Michael Snyder

The Slovakian Prime Minister is being led to Scientific Slaughter- ” Scientific Misconduct and Plagiarism plague his seminal study” – Anandamide

September 11 Evidence: Don’t talk about Judy – “Curt Weldon asked about Dr Judy Wood and his answer is telling. I have mentioned, quiet often in my articles on how there are two 9/11 whistle-blowers, and the evidence they presented to court in 2007, that the 9/11 truth movement just does not want to discuss and evidence they just don’t want you to look at. Those two whistle-blowers are Dr Morgan Reynolds and Dr Judy Wood.” – 9/11 Revisionist

NEWS

What if Freedom Is Suspended? – Judge Andrew P. Napolitano

Why the Tax on Property is the Worst Tax – “Taxing income is morally despicable because it’s your money – and that means it does not belong to anyone else. That means if it is taken from you, you have been robbed. It does not change the fact to call this robbery “taxation.” Of course, that is why they call this robbery “taxation” – to give it a patina of legitimacy. But there is a worse form of taxation/robbery. It is the so-called “property tax” – which is worse because it pretty much forces the victim to work forever to earn the income to pay this tax – after taxes – in order to void being evicted from what can never be his home.” – Eric Peters

“OF COURSE Trump wants to suspend habeas corpus for EVERYBODY” – “That’s the big fear-porn talking point on the Left right now. “You and I and everybody could be detained without appearing before a judge. No due process.” Yak-yak. Little pecker fed judges are ruling that every single one of these illegals has the right to appear in court before deportation, in order to argue his case. That of course sets up an impossible situation. Which was created during previous administrations. The wide open border. “Come on in.” So now Trump and Stephen Miller are talking about suspending due process for illegals, which would be Constitutional if their presence in the US were labeled an invasion.” – Jon Rappoport

The Great Simmering in the West – “People all over the world are worried about the future. While regional wars continue to fester, the prospect of global war weighs heavily on many. However, likely belligerents are not all foreign aggressors. Nearly a century of globalization has erected a web of clunky international institutions that wield tremendous power while disregarding sovereign borders. Self-described “futurists” such as Bill Gates and Yuval Harari believe that artificial intelligence will soon replace most humans in the workforce and that a small cadre of global “elites” must centrally manage humanity’s transition to general “uselessness.” ” – J.B. Shurk

Trump sells-out Syria to Al Qaeda, resilient Yemen, the carving-up of a Syrian sovereign state (VIDEO) – Vanessa Beeley

‘Anyone here been raped and speaks English?’ – “But let’s cut the jokes, the quips and the one liners. If being pack raped and speaking English was newsworthy, then the Western media, together with what passes for Western justice, would highlight the plight of Syria’s Alawite women, whose hell is “just” a rerun of what the same NATO backed savages did to the Yazidi and many others, who must lick their wounds in private and in silence, just as Korea’s comfort women had to when “victory” was won, Macron is not the only NATO cretin, who colludes with the devil. NATO’s entire structure, from top to toe, is based on that and there are millions of broken and shattered lives across the Levant, throughout Africa, in Ukraine and anywhere else we care to look that attest to that.” – Declan Hayes

The Ukraine Game – “The professional commentators and amateur experts have been highly critical of the Trump foreign policy, but despite his unorthodox approach, Trump seems to be making progress that those experts claimed was impossible. The recent trip to the GCC countries is the most recent example. Lost in the shuffle is Iran stating they are ready to do a deal with Trump on their nuclear program. Today, the Russians and Ukrainian will meet in Istanbul to talk peace. This meeting is remarkable mostly because a key element to Project Ukraine from the start was that there could be no negotiations with Russia. Without saying it, the Biden admin and the Europeans would only accept the unconditional surrender of Russia and even then, the terms would be harsh.” – The Z Man

Donald Trump Now Owns The Ukraine War – “President Donald Trump has said repeatedly that the Ukraine War is Joe Biden’s, not his. But now the Ukraine war belongs to Trump. He can no longer deny ownership. From Defence-blog.com: President Donald Trump’s administration has reportedly approved its first weapons sale to Ukraine since the start of his second term, with plans to authorize direct commercial exports valued at $50 million or more. By the same token, the Israeli genocide in Gaza is now Trump’s genocide. This man who was elected president on the promise of ending America’s “stupid wars” (his words) is neck-deep in the continuation and escalation of these wars. ” – Chuck Baldwin

President Trump’s Entourage to Saudi Arabia Tells The Tale – “It is notable that President Trump requested Elon Musk, Larry Fink, Hegseth, Rubio, Bessent, Sam Altman – Open AI, Jensen Huang – Nvidia, Alex Karp – Palantir, Giani Infantino – FIFA President, Jeff Miller – Halliburton, Ruth Porat – Google, Andy Jassy – Amazon – to accompany him in this soiree. Bringing them into the fold knowing that their expansion means more money for themselves and America was tactical. Changing sides from WITHIN. Capitalizing on George Soros maneuver to upend alliances and allegiances from within only now it’s within the Deep State.” – Helena Glass

Trump Says He’s ‘Honored’ That Democrats ‘Suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome’ – Frank Bergman

Donald Trump and American Decline – “Who stepped on the butterfly? Trump is very much a declinest president, yet his ideas for making America rise (again?) are, generally speaking, accelerants to further decline.Of course, Trump is hardly the only symbol of American decline. Just look at revelations that former President Biden was one fall away from a wheelchair, that he couldn’t remember friends and prominent supporters like George Clooney, even as Democratic operatives were telling us Biden was more than fit to serve as president for another four years? American decline is, most assuredly, bipartisan. Even so, Trump brings his own peculiar attributes to declinism.” – Bill Astore

Shock Video: Cartel Kills Mexican Mayoral Candidate, Her Daughter During Facebook Livestream – Trent Walker

Bombshell NYT Report Reveals ‘Invisible’ F-35 Nearly Shot Down by Houthis – “Let’s first make something clear. Some have claimed that the US established ‘air superiority’ but not ‘air supremacy’, as if there’s a difference between the two. These are phony terms concocted—or at least popularized—by the US MIC to sell its Iraq war adventures, with claims that the modern ‘unstoppable’ American ‘airpower’ is capable of somehow totally dominating the skies against a foe. In reality, no such thing as true ‘air supremacy’ exists in a near-peer conflict, and has never been established in history over a foe that can fight back. These are nothing more than marketing terms to sell weapons for a war that doesn’t exist.” – Simplicius

Islamic School in PA Gets Millions of Tax Dollars – “The massive grant to Islamic “education” in Philadelphia is aimed at helping the Muslim group expand its school from 300 students to 3,000, according to officials. Ironically, many of the leftwing politicians, groups, and teachers’ unions that typically shriek about any public money going to Christian educational institutions are either supportive or silent about the Al Aqsa school funding.” – Alex Newman – THEY WANT TO GET RID OF CHRISTIANS, COULD IT BE MORE OBVIOUS!!!!!!!!!

THE BIG PICTURE

You can wreck yourself more easily now because medical drugs will cost way less? – “Trump just announced he’s cutting prices of Pharma drugs by 30 to 80%. Not sure he can really do that, but if he can, more people will be injured and killed by them? For all those people covered by medical insurance, which is paying for those drugs anyway, does that change anything? The way it looks to me, nothing changes for the user. He still gets the same drugs that are toxic. The real issue has been and still is: so many people on so many poisonous drugs.” – Jon Rappoport

Update – “It must be another tariff turnaround, (capitulation) or is it? Trump issues (arbitrarily) 145% tariffs on certain Chinese goods, and China reciprocates with 125% tariffs on certain U.S. goods; but wait, in secret over the weekend, all that is put aside, and voila, U.S. markets go straight up. Consumers are harmed by all tariffs, (taxes) and that will not change due to this deal, but Trump will still crow at his ‘mastery’ of the ‘deal.’ My take is that this is just another bait and switch maneuver, and who knows what will come next? The details of this ‘deal’ have not been released, but you can rest assured that this was plotted out long before this weekend holiday in Switzerland. Regardless consumers in the U.S. and China, as always, will both lose, this the “art of the deal” every time Trump is involved. Up, down; up, down, and the next ‘deal’ lies in wait, as the coming digital takeover and surveillance of all of you goes forward unabated.” – Gary D. Barnett

1991: A timeline of Robert Maxwell, Mossad, & CIA – “Jan Ludvik Hoch. Known as – Robert Maxwell. Father to Ghislaine. Father in Stud Law to Jeffrey Epstein via Ghislaine. Suicided as his identities were going to be revealed. He trained – Epstein. Jan Hoch was born in a region that is now a part of Ukraine. His history is very obscured from dating even decades ago. Scrubbed. There is one common point that remains in History files, Robert Maxwell Hoch was embezzling, committing gross fraud, and stealing money from employee pension plans – as a personal loan. ” – Helena Glass

Trump Order Injects AI into US Education – “Of course, it is important for children to keep up with new technologies such as AI. But the dangers of AI — especially AI systems programmed by evildoers — are orders of magnitude greater when it comes to shaping the minds and values of the next generation. And this danger is compounded when national and even international authorities are involved, akin to putting all of one’s eggs in one basket. Caution is desperately needed. ” – Alex Newman

Mutant Rice and Gates’s Lab Rats: Grand Experiments in India’s Fields – “In late 2024, Bill Gates sparked outrage in India after describing the country as “a kind of laboratory to try things” during a podcast with Reid Hoffman. Gates emphasised the nation’s stability as a “testing ground” for global initiatives. His remarks were widely condemned. Social media erupted, with many Indians accusing Gates of reducing their nation to a mere experimental ground for Western interests. Social media users labelled Indians as “guinea pigs” in Gates’ laboratory and questioned the ethics and motives behind such experimentation.” – Colin Todhunter

Vaccine developed in Nebraska could signal end to annual flu shot – “Effort could reduce the impact and spread of swine flu, bird flu and flu in humans. The study, “Epitope-Optimized Vaccine Elicits Cross-Species Immunity Against Influenza A Virus,” describes a vaccine that protects against H1N1 swine flu and can also protect against influenza in birds and humans.” – Cindy Gonzalez – HERE WE GO, ONE JAB TO RULE THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

35 people died the same day as their Covid shot. Authorities did not investigate – “Australians are routinely assured that deaths arising from Covid vaccination are vanishingly rare, based on the drug safety regulator’s claim that it has identified only 14 deaths linked to vaccination out of more than 70 million doses given. The other thousand plus deaths reported to the Therapeutic Goods Administration’s (TGA) safety surveillance database, the DAEN, are widely assumed to be merely coincidental,” – Rebekah Barnett

NEWS

THE DEEPER DIVE: The China Syndrome of Trade Deals -“Today we got to see what a great deal looks like for America under the Trump Tariff Wars.. Last week I covered how President Trump managed to squeeze a bad deal for the US out of the UK with his trade war—a deal assuring US citizens pay about 8% more in US taxes on all goods purchased from the UK than they had to pay prior to Trump’s Trade Wars. I now have to lay out what a terrible deal for the US Trump just managed to pound out of China. Even more than the UK deal, this one was a win where Trump can boast that he held China’s feet to the fire until he got them to agree to let us tax ourselves 30% on all the vast purchases we get from China, our biggest global trading partner!” – David Haggith

U.S. President Doubts He Must Adhere to the U.S. Constitution – Eric Zuesse

PART 4: IS TRUMP FOR REAL? – “Trump 2.0’s pro-jihadi geopolitics in the context of Trump 1.0 Trump’s policies in the Middle East are now showing a very clear pattern: he is throwing Israel under the bus by doing everything that the jihadis want and none of what Israel needs. This has been unexpected for many. That’s because they have the wrong model of US politics, the wrong model US geopolitics, and the wrong model of Trump.” – Francisco Gil-White – INTERESTING TAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tax cuts, Gov. Pritzker? – “Gov. Pritzker claims that Democrats cut taxes for everyday people. What tax cuts? Illinoisans are paying the nation’s highest property taxes, the 2nd-highest gas taxes and the highest cell phone taxes. Kiplinger ranks Illinois third in the nation in its list of “least tax-friendly states for middle-class families.” Where are the tax cuts for everyday Illinoisans, Gov. Pritzker?” – Ted Dabrowski and John Klingner – AS I HAVE SAID BEFORE, PRITZKER, LIKE HIS CLONE/CLOWN IN CALIFORNIA, NEWSOM. BOTH WANT TO BE PRESIDENT. BEWARE OF WHAT YOU WISH FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Democrats Just Can’t Stop Pushing Nonsensical Assault Weapon Bans – “These laws ban guns “in common use,” and no comparable historical analog exists for these bans. But on April 30, Sen. Adam Schiff (D-California) introduced the so-called “Assault Weapons Ban of 2025.” It picks up where his predecessor, Dianne Feinstein, left off. It bans semi-automatic rifles that use detachable magazines and have a barrel shroud, Just a week earlier, Illinois state Sen. Celina Villanueva introduced the “Responsible Gun Manufacturing Act,” which would effectively ban popular Glock semi-automatic handguns. In April, Colorado enacted a law that makes it illegal to buy, sell, and make semi-automatic firearms that have detachable ammunition magazines without time-consuming training, which the governor hopes could cost $200. This push isn’t new.” – John R. Lott, Jr. – AGAIN CALIFORNIA AND ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS WANT TO TAKE AWAY RIGHTS. IS IT ANY WONDER, THE WAY THESE STATES GOVERN THAT PEOPLE WANT TO LEAVE!!!!

Count me in this camp – “Nothing the Democrats do is evil enough to gain notice, and nothing Republicans do is benign enough not to be noticed and spun negatively. So, if that’s the hand you’re going to deal the right, then expect the right to play that hand. Trump has absolutely nothing to fear. He’s not likely to be removed from office, and while he might lose Congress in the midterms, that’s actually normal anyway, so it’s hard to really see the benefit of trying to play nice.” – Tom Knighton

Habemus Papam Bob: Chicago’s left field Pope Leo XIV – “Pope Bob is currently enjoying an American honeymoon as the Yankee media surf along on the goodwill tide his election brought to their shores.” – Declan Hayes

Africa’s Lost White Tribe – “Many Boer families had been in South Africa’s Natal Province and Orange Free State since the 1600’s, much longer than black Zulu or Xhosa tribes. They are the real South Africans. America would benefit from offering them new homes. But they deserve to keep their homes in South Africa and Rhodesia (today Zimbabwe). Some were burned and their white occupants murdered. Whites had begun to flee South Africa. So, Trump is right to offer them asylum. But what about Palestinians?” – Eric S. Margolis

Democrats: Millions of illegal aliens are good, handful of South African refugees are bad – “With comical hypocrisy, a CNN panel predictably declared that being “victims of crime” does not “entitle” white South Africans to asylum in the United States. However, Democrats and their media sycophants fervently believe that perpetrators of crimes do deserve asylum in the U.S. Interesting position. Not to mention insane and remarkably evil.” – Eric Utter

Planet of the Fat Black Statues – “Recently, there has been a veritable epidemic of statues suddenly popping up all over the globe, depicting overweight Black females. This is decidedly odd, as the figures don’t represent a particular person of historical significance, but rather a modern “Woke” phenomenon of a brand of human being; the loud and proud Black woman. One of these statues, incredibly enough, was erected in Italy. If anyone can tell me what significance any Black woman has had on Italian history, I’m willing to listen. It’s hard to tell how many Black female statues there are. A few years back, there were reports of them springing up in Roanoke, Virginia, and South Boston. There were already at least six statues of Harriet Tubman scattered across this country. I doubt that there are six statues of White women collectively in America.” – Donald Jeffries

No, Public TV Isn’t a Constitutional Right – “When Jonathan Capehart says “the government should not interfere with” reporting, he’s right — but he should have stopped there.” – Jon Miltimore

Aimed At Pressuring Big Pharma; Goldman Says Trump’s Drug Exec. Order “Symbolic, Not Substantial” – “The EO’s language is legally cautious. It repeatedly cites the need to act “consistent with law” and lacks clarity on scope—such as whether it applies to Medicare Part B, D, or both. “Overall, while the EO appears intended to create leverage for negotiation with the industry and is likely to increase pressure on companies to announce some concessions, our political economist notes that the process appears to be in early stages and does not expect near-term implementation of the measures contemplated in the EO,”” – Tyler Durden

Another Prophecy About The Great New Madrid Earthquake That Will Divide America In Half Someday In The Future – “In recent years, we have witnessed a lot of noteworthy earthquakes in the heartland of the United States. To me, they are reminders of what is coming. Thankfully, we have not experienced a cataclysmic New Madrid earthquake yet.” – Michael Snyder

SITREP 5/12/25: More ‘Talks’ Games as Russian Machine Barrels Forward – “Again the smokescreen of peace talks tries desperately to overshadow mounting Russian advances. I find it nearly pointless to split hairs over the incessant back and forth ‘negotiations’ charade because it’s all simple posturing from both sides, with each vying to outdo the other in the media in order to present the best face of ‘peace maker’ to their own respective allies.” – Simplicius

Third-Party Mediation Between Russia & Ukraine Is Approaching Its Limits – “Trump is about to be placed into a dilemma due to his unwillingness or inability to coerce Ukraine into Russia’s demanded concessions.” – Andrew Korybko

Many Americans are struggling with food price inflation. Here’s how to save on groceries – “Americans are feeling the pressure of higher prices at the supermarket. Amid broader inflation, 77% of Americans say they have felt the most significant increase in grocery costs, according to a March report by Credit Karma. No wonder: Food prices have risen 24% since 2020, according to a February report from the Economic Research Service.” – Ana Teresa Solá

THIS IS THE CON-JOB OF THE CENTURY… AND WE ARE OUT OF TIME. (IMPORTANT UPDATES). (VIDEO) – “This is a headline this morning.

They can’t say currency purchasing power loss because , you see, that would put a whole different spin on it.

Here’s What Copper Is Saying About Silver – “As a silver investor and analyst, I closely track copper because of its strong correlation with—and influence on—silver. Silver is unique in that it’s both a precious metal and an industrial one, with industrial demand making up about 55% of total usage. This gives silver price behavior that often mirrors copper, a purely industrial metal. Additionally, there are trading algorithms that arbitrage the silver-copper relationship, reinforcing their tight price connection.” – Jesse Colombo

A Bear Market Rally? Or, Just A Correction? – “A bear market rally represents a short-term increase in stock prices that emerges while the market is in a downward trend. Such price rallies bring forth positive expectations because markets experience significant upward movements throughout several weeks or months. These rallies do not indicate any actual market recovery. They serve as brief interruptions before the dominant downward trend continues.” – Lance Roberts

THE BIG PICTURE

What’s Really Going On? – “We are witnessing the preparation for the next empire. – “What we are witnessing right now is not just politics. This is modern Pharaoh rising. Not clothed in linen and gold, but in media, power, and illusion. In a recent interview, and please look this up for yourselves, Trump said that he doesn’t know if he needs to uphold constitutional due process. Lions. That’s not a policy disagreement. That’s Pharaoh language. That is a man placing himself above the law, above the system, above the nation.” – Greg Mannarino

BIG Tech & BIG Pharma = Radiation Poisoning -“While using toxic particulates to block out the sun’s radiation, data centers, phones, computers, towers all EMIT radiation – to the point that when a protester climbed a 5g tower, the foreman stated the man would likely die within a week. When our esteemed scientists declare that the effects of Radio Frequency exposure are nil, that is code for “we have no idea and wouldn’t tell you if we did”. It is something like the declarations that vaccines have been tested… Just never together. No one has tested the cumulative effects of every vax given from birth to age 19. Why? Because they know the outcome would not be pleasant for Pharma. ” – Helena Glass – GOOD ONE FROM HELENA!!!!

Does Trump’s Gain-of-Function Research ‘Ban’ Go Far Enough? – “The headline is rhetorical. Spoiler: the answer is: “not by a damn sight.” Also, the GOF “ban” isn’t actually a full-throated ban. But it’s better than nothing.” – Ben Bartee

Elon Musk now admits: AI will replace bloated, inefficient federal government – “Large swaths of federal workers being terminated does not mean the end of government involvement in our lives. It just means you’ll no longer have humans making decisions that affect your life.” – Leo Hohmann

Big Pharma BLOODLUST: Hidden History of Torture & Poison – “I don’t know why Team Truth will tell you viruses aren’t real, but they won’t tell you this… Call it “gatekeeping”, call it ignorance due to lack of knowledge, call it a misunderstanding – whatever it is, once you understand Rockefeller didn’t “invent modern medicine” (he only greatly assisted in monopolizing it and capitalizing on it) and Big Pharma isn’t completely “motivated by money” – once you realize these things are being used to finger-point and obscure the truth, then you can truly see what is really going on and suddenly it all makes sense. What we call “Big Pharma” was built on sorcery, black magic and superstition and the people who established this industry are motivated by evil.” – Agent131711

No Timeline . . . – “Do you remember the character Wimpy from the old – the original, black-and-white era – Popeye cartoons? His signature wheedle was to offer to “gladly” pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today. Something like that. The point being Wimpy was cheesy. A lovable scammer. Is Trump lovable? Apparently he is to a lot of people – who are (so it seems) willing to apologize for or simply ignore everything he doesn’t do that he promised to do while at the same time dismissing things he has done that he never promised he’d do when was running for president – such as push for a federal ID card (the so-called “REAL” ID). Had he promised to push a REAL ID on us, it is likely many of us (me among them) would not have voted for him. I voted for less rather than more authoritarian government. How about you?” – Eric Peters

PART 3: IS TRUMP FOR REAL? Does Trump want an Iranian nuclear bomb dropped on Israel? – “In this series, we are considering two hypotheses: Innocence Hypothesis: Yes, Trump is for real. Machiavellian Hypothesis: No, Trump is a phony—a character created by the Deep State to control and appease the opposition by deceiving it into thinking that the system is being reformed, thus keeping the Deep State in power. Against the Machiavellian Hypothesis, supporters of the Innocence—or ‘Trump is for real’—Hypothesis will point out that the president has hit the ground running with policies that his fans can like and celebrate, and which—I’ll concede—do make him look real. But a practiced conman always looks good. Looking good, in a con, is the entire point—otherwise you won’t con a soul.” – Francisco Gil-White

I Can’t Fix Stupid! – “When I point out that the problems faced by the masses are their own fault for allowing themselves to be ruled, they take it personally, instead of questioning their weakness and voluntary acceptance of false authority. Instead of acting like responsible thinking adults, they seek to place all blame on others. It is the ‘evil’ ones, you see, who are doing this to them; they have no say in the matter, and they want to believe that they have no power to help themselves. The voting scam is a perfect example of this insane attitude, because all those who vote are openly relying on some piece of scum politician to take care of them, and make all decisions for their lives. This is the master/slave relationship that most all accept from birth, rather than depending on self-reliance and self-rule.” – Gary D. Barnett

Israel Really Is As Evil As It Looks – “It really is that simple. Israel really is that bad. And so is anyone who supports it.Israeli snipers routinely, deliberately shoot children in the head throughout the Gaza Strip. Israel has targeted healthcare facilities and ambulances in Gaza hundreds upon hundreds of times. IDF soldiers constantly post photos and videos to their social media accounts showing themselves mockingly dressing in the clothes of dead and displaced Palestinian women and playing with the toys of dead and displaced Palestinian children…. And now Israel is openly declaring its agenda to ethnically cleanse the entire Gaza Strip of Palestinians,” – Caitlin Johnstone

India Attacks Pakistan – War is a Contagion – “It seems to unfold in one area and spread. It started with Ukraine, then Taiwan, and now India. Also, Carney in Canada has not waged military war against the United States, but he has engaged in diplomatic war because he is part of the WEF elite. He told Trump that Canada is not for sale, mainly because he has already sold it to merge with the EU. We are headed into a period of rising tensions globally, and as we will see, especially next year, all the old grudges will resurface around the globe.” – Martin Armstrong

Martial Law Disguised as Law and Order: The Oldest Trick in the Authoritarian Playbook – “We are being frog-marched into tyranny at the end of a loaded gun. Or rather, hundreds of thousands of loaded guns. Let’s not mince words: President Trump’s April 28 executive order is the oldest trick in the authoritarian playbook: martial law masquerading as law and order. Officially titled “Strengthening and Unleashing America’s Law Enforcement to Pursue Criminals and Protect Innocent Citizens,” this order is a “heil Hitler” wrapped in the goosestepping, despotic trappings of national security. Don’t be fooled by Trump’s tough-on-crime rhetoric, cloaked in patriotic language and the promise of safety.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

Let’s talk about…India vs Pakistan – “A brand new theatre of “global conflict” has opened up, and theatre is the only word for it. It is the first armed conflict between two supposed nuclear powers, and nobody much seems to mind. It is yet another example of the total society-wide amnesia regarding the “mutually assured destruction” principle. Further, there seem to be no perceivable victory conditions or reason for being. The terrorist attack was – as most “terrorist attacks” are – somewhere between entirely pointless and 100% counterproductive in terms of mission goals.” – Off Guardian

Russia urges India and Pakistan to exercise restraint – “Moscow has called for de-escalation after New Delhi attacked alleged terrorist facilities across the border” – RT

Ten Points To Keep In Mind Amidst Escalating Indo-Pak Tensions – “Everyone has the right to make up their own minds about these tensions and the Kashmir Conflict that lies at their core, but they should also know that there’s more to all this than what they might be led to be believe by the organized pro-Palestinian movement and the Alt-Media Community.” – Andrew Korybko

Weaponized water: Nuclear foes collide – “We need to talk seriously about what’s unfolding between nuclear powers India and Pakistan. Because it’s not just another geopolitical skirmish. It’s another grim signal that civilization, as we know it, is breaking apart under the relentless pressure of resource scarcity, nationalism, and violence.” – Sarah Connor

This Is Funny… – “MSNBC LEGAL ANALYST BREAKS THE TRUTH TO MORNING JOE — ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE NOT OWED DUE PROCESS. Democrat Media repeated this bullshit about due process for two weeks and never even bothered to look it up and study. Guess what, Trump is right.” – Steve Watson

Move over Karmelo Anthony, there’s a new accused killer darling on the scene – “Rodney Hinton, Jr. ran down a retired deputy, and the left loves him. The officer allegedly murdered by Hinton was a man named Larry Henderson, a public servant who dedicated more than three decades of his life to his community, serving across a number of different law enforcement agencies. Hinton had watched bodycam footage from an officer-involved shooting in which Hinton’s own son, 18-year-old Ryan, was killed. Ryan had been caught up in a foot-pursuit police chase after officers were investigating reports of a stolen vehicle (the one in which Ryan, and three others, were sitting) and when the group was approached by law enforcement, Ryan ran and hid. When officers closed in, Ryan jumped out, brandishing a gun, and was, understandably, shot.” – Olivia Murray

Crackdown on Student Loan Defaulters to Begin With Benefit Seizure, Then Wage Garnishment – “Federal collections have resumed after the pandemic-era freeze. Beginning in June, the government will intercept defaulters’ tax refunds and other payments. Starting today, approximately 195,000 defaulted student loan borrowers will begin receiving an official 30-day notice from the U.S. Department of Treasury notifying them that their federal benefits will be subjected to the Treasury Offset Program,” – Tom Ozimek

My hatred for the media is threatening to become terminal – Tom Knighton

Why Western Governments Are Beating the Drums for Wars – “The only parts of American, German, British, French, and Italian industry that are booming right now, are their armaments manufacturers — the companies that sell far more to governments than to consumers, and that therefore boom while the economy busts. These are the companies that need to control the Government…” – Eric Zuesse

Trade in your Big Ships for a Little Junk from China – “Tariff news out of Trump’s mouth was not what stocks wanted to hear, so their nonsense rally ended today.” – David Haggith

The Magic Trick – “In 1791, the first Secretary of the Treasury of the US, Alexander Hamilton, convinced then-new president George Washington to create a central bank for the country. Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson opposed the idea, as he felt that it would lead to speculation, financial manipulation, and corruption. He was correct, and in 1811, its charter was not renewed by Congress. Then, in 1913, the leading bankers of the US succeeded in pushing through a third central bank, the Federal Reserve. From its inception, one of the goals of the bank was to create inflation. And, here, it’s important to emphasise the term “goals.” Inflation was not an accidental by-product of the Fed—it was a goal. Over the last century, the Fed has often stated that inflation is both normal and necessary.” – Jeff Thomas

Putting aside the fact that the commercial was advocating for Bitcoin and was paid for by Coinbase, which I would never use, the fact that the message about our flawed monetary policy has gone mainstream is stunning. And outright awesome.” – Quoth the Raven

Don’t Trust the Rebound Yet (VIDEO) – “He then highlights the hypocrisy surrounding the US’s stance on currency values—a policy area where double standards seem almost the norm.

THE BIG PICTURE

Pope Francis has died aged 88 – “Pope Francis’ reign in the papal throne spanned more than a decade, and witnessed the spread of widespread confusion on numerous matters of the Catholic faith.” – Michael Haynes

The Great Resignation: Klaus Schwab and the End of Predatory Globalism – “We are witnessing the symbolic collapse of an old world order.” – Sayer Ji – WITH THE DEATH OF THE POPE AND KLAUS OFFICIALLY STEPPING DOWN, DID GLOBALISM JUST TAKE A BIG HIT!!!!

Jesus Loved Israel’s Enemies and Still Does – “Jesus commanded us to love our enemies, and then he went out and demonstrated how to do just that. Jesus still loves the so-called enemies of Israel and the Zionist United States, because he died for their sins. He loves the Muslims, the Arabs, the Palestinians, the Iranians, the Turks, the Chinese, the Russians, the Venezuelans, and everyone else that our government declares to be an “enemy” of the United States. And many American Christians today are siding with our government, calling for the destruction and genocide of these people who are declared our “enemies”, disobeying the clear teaching of Jesus to love our enemies and pray for them. As Jesus said, they “will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” You have been warned.” – Brian Shilhavy

Faith Meets Science: The Shocking Truth About the Shroud of Turin – “New scientific and historical discoveries challenge long-held doubts about the Shroud of Turin. If the Shroud is real, it could be the closest thing we have to proof that Jesus lived, died, and rose again. The evidence is real and worth looking at. You don’t need to be an expert—just curious enough to ask, “What if this is true?”” -lLioness of Judah

REAL ID: Phony Security, Real Authoritarianism – “Those who hoped the second Trump Administration would reject big spending, war, and restrictions on liberty continue to be disappointed. A new disappointment came when Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced her department would in May begin enforcing the REAL ID law.” – Ron Paul

White Identity in America – “Multiculturalism, as it manifests now, behaves like a solvent. It dissolves the distinct, merges the sacred into sameness, smiles as it rubs out the texture of rooted lives. Within this flood, those who carry European memory find themselves drifting, searching for a foothold. The word “White” is that foothold. It holds meaning through resistance, through memory, through the fierce dignity of cultural continuity. Identity, in this sense, becomes a form of love — love for origins, love for inherited stories, love for those yet to come.” – Constantin von Hoffmeister

Viruses Don’t Exist. Deal With It. (Part 1) Why viruses are the Bigfoot of modern medicine. – Anthony Colpo

PREP Act Brief: “License to Kill” must be repealed. (VIDEO) – “A collection of articles for ease of educating your friends, family, doctors and legislators. Please sign the petition to repeal the PREP Act linked in the post.” – Sasha Latypova and James Roguski

The Battle for Your Brain is ALREADY Underway – “Mind control. Nanobots. Neurohacking. Bring up these topics with the average Joe and he’ll tell you that they are the stuff of science fiction. But these concepts are not the cyberpunk fantasies of some novelist’s overactive imagination. They are under development right now.” – The Corbett Report

Legal Notice Served .. on those who would Destroy Evidence – “Evidence also evidencing the extent of the synthetic DNA contamination. This is a brief note to inform readers and especially fellow legal, science, and medical colleagues, of letters of demand sent earlier today by myself and separately by the law firm PJ O’Brien & Associates. Many will have read the article last week by journalist Rebekah Barnett covering Queensland Health informing QoVAX study participants of the decision to destroy over 100,000 biospecimens since stopping funding for the study in June 2023 .. these are specimens from Folk who received the Pfizer and Moderna Covid shots .. many of which recipients aren’t feeling so good these days .. while some are just plain dead, it is saddening to say” – Julian Gillespie -LINKED REBEKAH’S ARTICLE LAST TUESDAY ON 04/15/25!!!!

Fauci Household Got $3.5M Wealthier in First Year After Retirement – “As he hit speaker circuit, wife Dr. Christine Grady remained NIH’s chief bioethicist.” – Open The Books

NEWS

Preachers – “One of the amusing sideshows since Trump has taken power is the pearl clutching from the usual suspects about the law and process. The people who sat silent as lawfare was waged against Americans for the crime of holding unapproved opinions are now suddenly concerned with the rule of law. The people who took money from tech companies to remain silent about tech censorship are now carrying on as if they are dissidents because they no longer control the discourse. Hypocrisy is a feature of man, and it has always had a central role in American politics because America is a nation of moralizers.” – The Z Man

The Great Consternation – “A great consternation boils and bubbles across the land as the sinister forces of Jacobin lawfare keep up their legalistic battery against the nation. You better believe that the country will not stand for much more of this lunatic judicial coup aimed at wrecking the authority of law itself, and with that, any chance for sane management of our affairs. On Saturday, the activist org Indivisible, sponsored by Linked-In billionaire Reid Hoffman and dark money “pass through” funder the Tides Foundation (Bill Gates and others), sent its “protest” troops into the streets to pretend that there is public support for national suicide. Easter weekend looked like a turning point in this struggle for sanity over the public interest.” – James Howard Kunstler

Forgive Them—For They Know Not What They Do – “Or do they? We’re celebrating 250 years of the republic, but what do we have to celebrate? The upward trajectory of our freedom is seen over 150 years, but the fall from grace into tyranny is a shorter span—beginning in 1913—and accelerating post WW2. Be that as it may, the US slide into tyranny conflates with decisions made post WW2, when the US chose between sovereignty and control—opting for control. The consequences for that decision are everywhere—domestically/globally. A corporate, crony culture with little concern for Americans has, as its mission, controlling the the world economy (ultimate trickle-down policy). And, Tulsi Gabbard, now a right side of the aisle intel-hack, releases Biden’s plan to depict facts as disinformation, while her boss, Donald Trump, works feverishly to strip Americans of 1st Amendment protection. ” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

China Halts US Liquid Natural Gas Imports, Turns to Russia Instead – Mish – GOOD TARIFF STRATEGY THERE, DON. PUSH RUSSIA AND CHINA CLOSER TOGETHER!!!!!!!!

Your Hate for Trump is Stronger Than Your Love for Me – “It is unconscionable that the world has reached a point where this is true, that someone’s hate for a politician is stronger than their love for family and friends. I can’t see this being justifiable in any context, but particularly in this one. I do not live in a marginalized family, black, Asian, Arab, or Muslim, and I do not have any gay or trans family members, so it is even more insane that the people who make up my family would hate Trump to the degree they do. How is this possible? You got me. But it is. And it isn’t only me, it’s a lot of people. I am a psychotherapist and have the unique privilege of seeing a very wide and varied demographic. ” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

The Wait Is the Price: Quiet Rationing Plagues Canadian Health Care – “The time between referral and treatment has tripled since 1993. The supply of doctors, MRIs, and hospital beds can’t keep up with tax-subsidized demand for care.” – Vincent Geloso

WATCH: MSNBC Suggests Trump Plans to Deport African-Americans – “The latest racial-tinged conspiracy theory that the TDS-addled corporate state media is running with is that the Trump administration is developing plans to deport African-Americans, otherwise known as “people of color.” Let the brutal ogre and former Kamala Harris press ops goon who has rebranded herself as a journalist, Symone Sanders, explain:’ – Ben Bartee

I cover Trump; good, bad, ugly; here’s a major UGLY – Jon Rappoport

Is Trump Morphing into Bush on Foreign Policy and Civil Liberty Issues? – Dr. Joseph Sansone

“He Who Has The Gold Makes The Rules” President Trump Proclaims Over Easter Weekend – “While many are still wondering about whether or not the audit of Fort Knox is happening, it doesn’t seem like President Trump doubts the country’s gold holdings. With gold surging through $3420/oz. for the first time ever this morning, many are pointing back to one of President Trump’s Truth Social posts from yesterday. Trump wrote on Easter: “THE GOLDEN RULE OF NEGOTIATING AND SUCCESS: HE WHO HAS THE GOLD MAKES THE RULES. THANK YOU!”. ” – Tyler Durden

Pelosi Pushes Back Against Progressive Purge – “At 85, Pelosi has filed to run again in 2026. To say removing this woman out of power is an uphill battle would be an understatement. Nancy owns the party and has her fingers in every cookie jar in the Swamp and beyond.” – Sarah Cowgill

CA Bill May Prioritize Migrants for Disaster Relief – “Humanity vs legality in the Golden State” – Kelli Ballard

Putin reacts to proposal to halt civilian strikes – “Russia targets Ukrainian and foreign troops regardless of whether they are located in civilian facilities, President Vladimir Putin has said. Putin was speaking to Russia 1 TV on Monday, when he was asked about the recent Easter ceasefire and a Ukrainian proposal that the sides declare a bilateral halt to strikes on civilian targets. “This needs to be sorted out. This is all a subject for a thorough study,” Putin said, adding that Moscow is not ruling out such a decision. Kiev has repeatedly used civilian infrastructure for military needs, Putin stressed. Putin confirmed that as of Monday, the 30-hour truce between Russia and Ukraine was over. He cited Defense Ministry reports that while there had been a reduction of hostilities during the period, Ukraine’s forces violated the armistice thousands of times.” – RT

ECONOMIC NEWS

(TAKE ACTION NOW!) US DOLLAR GETTING BLASTED (AGAIN…) STOCK MARKET SET TO FALL (AGAIN).(VIDEO) – “Trump wants to lower interest rates to counteract the inflation from his own tariff policies. This is so twisted. This is Fortune. Lowering rates kills the dollar purchasing power. It makes inflation worse It does help multinational corporations That’s what this is all about. You see this guy here Trump okay uh he believes that you are stupid. He believes that you don’t understand the concept that lower rates means a weaker dollar a loss of purchasing power. Again what are the two fundamental truths in economics and finance. NNumber one to have a strong economy you need a strong currency Number two to have a strong currency you need a corresponding rate of interest high enough to support the purchasing power of the currency” – Gregory Mannarino

Dollar Crashes On Powell Removal Speculation, Gold Soars To All Time High And Bitcoin Suddenly Spikes – “What was a miserable shortened week for the USD has gone from bad to worse in early Asia trading, when the Dollar index suddenly collapsed to a fresh 3 year low” – Tyler Durden

Trumpism and the Fading Dollar – “The breakdown and reordering of global trade via President Trump’s tariff policies will have many consequences. Long established trade relationships come with mutual dependency. Abruptly severing or restricting these ties will yank the rug out from under how people the world over pursue their livelihoods. America imports and consumes massive amounts of goods and products Made in China and other Asian countries. Trump’s trade tariffs put the export driven economic models of these countries at extreme risk. America accounts for over 30 percent of the world’s consumer spending. Should tariffs limit the ability for countries to export goods to America, they will be left with a massive supply glut. Thus, they will have two options: Increase domestic consumption. Or decrease production.” – MN Gordon

THE BIG PICTURE

The Empty Rhetoric of MAHA – “RFK Jr says, the most effective way to prevent the spread of measles is the MMR vaccine. The power of rhetoric is that it seems to work without fail in every election. And so many are surprised to see this complete reversal to what he was saying before the 2024 election. “If your kids were young now, would you give them the measles, the mumps vaccine?” “No. i have measles mumps when i was a kid. Back then, you know, we were treated with chicken soup and it was, you know, a week at home watching Leave it to Beaver and every kid caught it. Every single kid got it. And I had 11 brothers and sisters and we all got it and we were all fine.”” – Greg Reese

Totally Insane – “The world is collapsing, and I don’t know anymore whether I crave it or am repulsed by it. My heart and head conclude differently. Am I going insane or am I a rational thinker in a world that’s gone insane? I don’t know anymore. Red buttons everywhere. And they’re being smashed like a toddler with a new plaything. No regard for consequences. No methodology or process. Just governance by emotion, hate, and retribution.” – Sarah Connor

Food Armageddon – “Food Armageddon is not a metaphor. This report explores the converging crises threatening the global food supply—from collapsing bee populations and rice shortages in Asia to skyrocketing coffee, egg, and beef prices. Climate extremes, pesticide use, trade disruption, and economic desperation are fueling what may become the most severe food shock in modern history.” – Dr. Sircus

The Other Cost of Inflation – “While the pernicious effects of inflation have been exhaustively detailed in recent years, one effect of inflation has received little attention: its impact on morality. The idea that inflation could affect morality might sound strange to some readers; It certainly did to me when I first heard the hypothesis. Still, like just about anything, morality can be studied, and empirical evidence can be gathered. And there’s persuasive evidence that supports the idea that inflation corrupts.” – Jon Miltimore

Renowned Data Analyst Warns Excess Deaths Are Surging ‘Off the Charts’ – “Ed Dowd has just dropped a chilling warning after uncovering evidence showing that the number of excess deaths of working-age Americans is skyrocketing. According to an alarming warning from Dowd, a leading Wall Street analyst, insurance industry data shows that excess deaths are soaring among people aged 18 to 64 years old. These deaths started exploding after the Covid mRNA “vaccines” were rolled out for public use in early 2021. However, the deaths appear to show no signs of slowing down, despite the pandemic being long over and vaccination rates dropping off.” – Frank Bergman

The Wuhan World Military Games “SARS-CoV-2” early spread story is total BS… – “..and probably deliberately propagated. ” – Jonathan Engler

The Wicked Flee – “The decade-long treasonous hectoring of Mr. Trump keeps on coming, you understand, for the simple reason that there have been absolutely zero consequences for any of the vicious rogues behind it. Not so much as a rap on the knuckles for seeking to overthrow a president, steal elections, hide high crimes, rob the treasury, and recklessly frame the innocent. And suddenly this week, as startling as a mythic goddess of justice riding a spring zephyr, comes a brisk demonstration of exactly what-to-do. Days ago, Governor Phil Murphy of New Jersey ordered his state police to not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement officers (ICE) — a nice bit of grandstanding for a guy seeking to occupy the Democratic Party’s leadership vacuum. So, Thursday night, newly-appointed US Attorney for the New Jersey federal district, Alina Habba, opened a criminal investigation against Gov. Murphy for “obstruction and concealment.” That means, possibly, jail. Badda-bing! This ain’t no foolin’ around.” – James Howard Kunstler

Stats with cats: assessing NAFTA – “Separating data from myth. here’s a chart of the % of US employment in manufacturing. It had been dropping for 40 years before NAFTA and dropped for 15 more afterwards all at essentially the exact same rate. NAFTA did not bend this curve a degree. You literally cannot even see it. This makes the idea that it had some sort of profound effect on employment look pretty implausible For while correlation does not prove causality, a lack of correlation sure does make causality unlikely” – El Gato Malo

90 days. An essay on Trump, China and Ireland’s future – “If the first 90 days of Trump 2.0 have been exciting, unprecedented and seemingly moving at break-neck speed – my hunch is the next 90 days – will actually decide the long-term success or failure of it.” – Gerry O’Neill – GOOD READ FROM ACROSS THE POND FROM GERRY!!!

The IRS Isn’t Going Away, and This is How We Know – “Trump has no plans to get rid of payroll taxes, and he has no plans to make big cuts to spending. This virtually guarantees that the IRS isn‘t going anywhere.” – Ryan McMaken

China Escalates With 125% Tariff On US Imports, Signals Will “Ignore” Future Retaliation – Tyler Durden

Trump targets sanctuary cities: Who will be the first fool? – “After DOGE, the border shutdown, and the tariff and trade debacle, it’s pretty obvious that President Trump doesn’t mess around. So now he’s announced that sanctuary cities are a target for federal defunding: It makes perfect sense. Why should cities and states shielding illegally present criminals from repatriation to their homelands get so much as a dime of federal funding from other taxpayers? If they can’t obey a sensible law about getting rid of people who have committed crimes against Americans, what crimes are they themselves up to? ” – Monica Showalter

Venezuela’s Ongoing War on America – “God hates bribes… During the American Revolution, Benedict Arnold and his wife Peggy secretly colluded with British Major John André in hopes of receiving a large bribe (over $3 million in today’s dollars) for Arnold to betray his brothers in arms and surrender the American Fort at West Point. Now 245 years later, we are learning that certain members of our federal government have facilitated the Venezuelan regime’s current “narco-invasion” of America. With the help of Democrat puppet Joe Biden, his administration busted the border wide open to mostly military-aged men and launched traitorous cellphone apps to help them. These American traitors rolled out the red carpet for thousands of Venezuelan narco-criminals and provided them with incentives and protections after they arrived…. But why?” – Jim McCraigh

This Is Why ‘Assault Weapons’ Laws Are Stupid – The People Who Write Them Know Nothing About Guns – Ward Clark

The end of La Grande illusion democratique – “Will Marine Le Pen have the creativity to step out of the box and twist the lion’s tail just a bit? Only the incurably naïve were shocked by the brazen and deliberate rigging of the French Presidential elections.” – Stephen Karganovic

ISRAEL: Girls Raped in Ritual Ceremonies Reveal the Horrors – Investigative Report by IsraelHayom – “The darkest ritual abuse exists in Israel as proven by decades of child abuse, rape and pedophilia” – Vanessa Beeley

ECONOMIC NEWS

Trump Cowers from his Own War and Flames out Bigly! – “Suddenly, the brazen man who told the world that everyone was begging for a deal runs from his own war with no deals in hand … AND takes the financial world down on his roller coaster from hell.” – David Haggith – DAVID HAS BEEN ON A ROLL LATELY, WITH A LOT OF GOOD INSIGHTS AND ANALYSIS!!!!!!!!

Donald’s $ ducks – “Measured in gold, the dollar’s decline is accelerating as foreigners bail out and gold is the go-to refuge. It is a panic on a global scale which looks like only just starting.” – Alasdair Macleod

Trump’s Market Whiplash Continues – Moon of Alabama

Deflation! – “Welcome To “Interesting Times”! Consumers got some welcome news with yesterday’s release of the March Consumer Price Index Summary from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in the form of falling prices. While the current data is rather optimistic on these points, the raging tariff debate could easily upset the consumer price applecart and moot any conclusions we are tempted to reach about future inflation. To borrow from the apocryphal Chinese curse, welcome to “interesting times”!” – Peter Nayland Kust

Beneath the Skin of CPI Inflation: Surging Prices of Food, Housing, Medical Care Meet Plunging Prices of Gasoline & Travel Services – “Worst food inflation since 2022. Worst housing inflation in months. But plunging prices for lodging, rental cars, and airfares are interesting” – Wolf Richter

The Consumer Is Tapping Out – “At the heart of the problem is the collapse of household balance sheets in the lower-income and middle-income brackets. These groups have depleted the excess savings accumulated during the pandemic and are turning to high-interest borrowing to bridge the gap. ” – Lance Roberts

A Wave Of Panic Buying Has Suddenly Erupted At Retailers All Over America – Michael Snyder

Does a Reserve Currency Require Trade Deficits? – “Is America doomed to permanent trade deficits because we are the world’s reserve currency? This is something called the Triffin Dilemma, and it’s been making the rounds since Trump’s worldwide tariffs. In short, Triffin says that if you’re the reserve currency, the rest of the world needs dollars. And they can only get them by selling you more stuff than you sell them. That surplus gives them excess dollars, which they save or use to back their banking system. A number of commenters I normally respect have used this to criticize Trump, saying we have to run deficits, so Trump is doomed to fail. This is false.” – Peter St Onge

Why Preppers Want Brushless Motors – “In the realm of survivalism and long-term self-sufficiency, efficiency and reliability are the main traits we want to look for. Every single component, from tools to vehicles, must be optimized for longevity and minimal resource consumption. This is the way you save money, space, and time. Traditional brushed motors rely on physical carbon brushes to transfer electrical current to the motor’s commutator.

THE TARIFF PROS AND CONS CONTINUE!

THE BIG PICTURE

BRACE FOR IMPACT! What IS Happening, What WILL Happen, (AND WHAT ACTION TO TAKE NOW). (VIDEO) – Gregory Mannarino – GREG ON THE BIG PICTURE, A MUST WATCH AGAIN. HIS ECONOMIC NEWS IS SECONDARY TODAY!!!!!

Who Cares? – “I constantly complain about how the sheep-folk don’t see the world falling apart around them. They don’t see the erosion of our freedom of speech rights, they don’t see children being coerced into medications and “gender-affirming” surgery, and they don’t see the unfairness in allowing men to compete in women’s sports. They also obviously do not see the horrors of wars and of their government’s support of killing people in other countries. They don’t see dozens of other things as well: Big Pharma killing us all, the medical industry going haywire, education dumbing down our kids. They don’t see it. And I stupidly thought that if they did see it, they would want to do something about it. Now I don’t think that. Now I think that they simply don’t care.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

CONFIRMED: Operation Warp Speed Vaccine Chief Was Ousted for Blocking RFK Jr.’s Access Safety Data – “He (Peter Marks) was definitely the guard dog of the databases. He was the guard dog stopping RFK Jr. from creating an FDA committee to analyze the safety of the mRNA shots and to analyze the safety of all childhood vaccines.” – Karen Kingston

CLOT SHOT PLANDEMIC UNFOLDING: Fibrous, rubbery clots caused by covid injections have prion-like seeding activity – “Embalmers continue to find unusual white, rubbery clots in 27% of corpses in 2024, suggesting a persistent issue linked to COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. Lab tests identified amyloid proteins in these clots, with some exhibiting prion-like seeding activity, raising concerns about neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Creutzfeldt-Jakob) developing earlier in life.” – S.D. Wells

27% ‘Higher Risk of Influenza’ Among Vaccinated: Cleveland Clinic – “Study of 53,402 participants.” – Jon Fleetwood

The climate scaremongers: MPs challenge Mad Ed’s power plans – “The Committee recommend that ‘the Department should set out . . . how it will make sure there is capacity in the grid when there is low generation from renewable energy during periods of calm weather, including from wider technologies like nuclear’. The Committee have very good reasons to be concerned. In November NESO, the National Energy System Operator, published a report which looked into the implications of fully decarbonising Britain’s electricity system by 2030 under Labour’s Clean Power 2030 programme. The results were not pretty.” – Paul Homewood

NEWS

The Great Transition – “Last week, Trump stunned the world by following through on what he has been promising since he came down the escalator in 2015. He imposed across-the-board tariffs on every country in the world—except Russia. The reason Russia was excluded is that they are already sanctioned to the maximum. This set off the Great Trump Stock Market Crash, which promises to continue this week as the rest of the world responds to the new world order. The old trading models no longer work, so the default fallback in these conditions is cash. The yesterday men and the crazies are sure this is the Great Depression, because their history of the world starts in the 1930s” – The Z Man

Farewell, Fugazy! – “That ruckus you hear in the capital markets is the sickening howl of the Fugazy Economy meeting its extinction. Fugazy means fake, unreal, dishonest, misaligned to what societies need to thrive. Fugazy means mis-using the time-value of things that purport to be wealth to multiply fake wealth in the hands of a few at the expense of the many. The pernicious effects of that system are visible all across the ruined landscape of our country, a nation of broken cities, failed towns, and a demoralized populace. Mr. Trump apparently aims to convert the expiring Fugazy economy into a production economy — yikes! — based on making things of value, and perhaps more importantly, of people at all social levels having meaningful roles in the making and moving of things. ” – James Howard Kunstler

Told You So! Liberation Day Was A Demolition Derby (VIDEO) – David Stockman

Musk Gets Into Ugly Feud Over Tariffs With Trump’s Top Trade Adviser – “I was wondering when Elon Musk would go totally rogue. It’s happened.” – Mish

Will Trump End the Fed or Put Himself in Charge of It? – “We think of the president as the Chief Executive, but a hands-off-the-Fed approach tells us otherwise. For the moment the Fed might be untouchable. But its creator was the state, and all it takes is courage to do away with it, which is why it’s been wreaking havoc for over a century. According to a March 6, 2025 article in International Banker, Trump’s allies have devised a plan that would oust current Fed chair Jerome Powell before his term is up in 2026 and give the US president a role in monetary-policy making. Given Trump’s personality—variously described as impulsive, charismatic, and resilient—it’s almost a given that a plan such as this would effectively make him the Chairman of the FOMC. Trump wants lower interest rates to go “hand-in-hand” with his tariffs, whether the free market wants them or not.” – George Ford Smith

The Dark Rooms of Bureaucracy – “We are in a war for the very soul of America and while we might not be as lost as say the UK, Ireland or France, we’re on the same road, can see our destiny in them, if we’re not very particular about how to go about the defense of our Western heritage. We hear the echoes of a different generation, the founding generation, and while we know the words and mean them as much as they did, we don’t act the way they did. In some respects, we can’t. Surveillance wouldn’t allow for us to be able to gather, cache or act the way they were able to, but they had some serious constraints as well.” – T.L. Davis

President Trump’s Five-Front Game of Chicken – “The stakes are higher than they’ve ever been for our trade relationships across the globe. The odds seemed stacked against President Trump. Can he pull it off for America?” – JD Rucker

Federal Spending in 2025 Is on Track to be the Highest Ever – “For the first five months of the 2025 fiscal year, federal spending is coming in at the highest level ever. This is true even when we adjust for CPI inflation. This largely reflects Biden-era spending since the current fiscal year began during October 2024, during the Biden administration.” – Ryan McMaken

It’s like if everyone in Nazi Germany had screens in their homes broadcasting exactly what was happening inside the extermination camps the entire time. Nobody can say they didn’t know. That claim does not exist for us.” – Caitlin Johnstone

Kash Patel promotes an FBI agent who called J6 patriots and moms at school board meetings ‘terrorists’ – “Guys, I think we’ve been played. What else can we expect from a Pam Bondi DOJ though? I certainly didn’t want a lawyer who’s an advocate of red flag laws and stacked the deck against George Zimmerman while she headed up the Florida AG’s office to be in charge of the federal government’s “justice” department. And here’s a question for Bondi, Patel, and “ex” CIA agent Bongino: Where are the Epstein lists?” – Olivia Murray

The death of the Great British boozer (VIDEO) – “Luke Johnson joins Chris Snowdon and Tom Slater for the latest episode of Last Orders, the spiked podcast all about freedom and the nanny state. They discuss why so many pubs are closing down, the galaxy-brained plan to ban cigarette filters and what Trump’s tariffs will mean for the world. ” – Spiked / Last Orders

White House Skewers Obama & Kamala After They Crawl Out Of Holes To Attack Trump – “Neither are in any position to weigh in” – Steve Watson

Trump Orders Iran to Give Up Its “Perfectly Legal” Defensive Weapons – “As you can see, none of this has anything to do with nuclear enrichment, secret weapons programs or nonproliferation. What we’re seeing is the predictable behavior of a politician who was shoehorned into the Oval Office on the back of more than $100 million in campaign contributions from wealthy Zionist donors. IMHO, those donations were made with a clear understanding that Trump would launch a war on Israel’s most formidable enemy, Iran. The United States is being dragged into another Middle East bloodbath as payback to the Israeli donor class.” – Mike Whitney

Long before reality shows and survival YouTubers with million-dollar bunkers, I was squirreling away supplies, learning to start fires in the rain, and convincing my wife that yes, we really did need another solar battery charger. And for the most part, I felt ready. I had food, I had gear, I had plans A through Z. But there’s one scenario that still haunts me. The one thing that, no matter how much gear I’ve stockpiled or skills I’ve sharpened, could bring it all crashing down. And it’s probably not what you think.

THE BIG PICTURE

Everything Is a Lie, So Why Are So Many Fooled by This Gross Deception? – ” The powerful ruling element has an explicit mission to build and promote particular nefarious agendas meant to hide and eliminate truth in favor of destroying actual knowledge. This mission entails the top-down creation of what is to be the expected reality, which never approaches anything other than a plotted perception. One tiny example of this deceit is the use of the purposely contrived term “conspiracy theorist,” which was invented only to silence truth, while protecting absolute dishonest fantasy. Mankind’s addiction to lies, something bred into the human psyche from birth, is also his downfall, for without truth, only fakery survives, while that phenomenon is forever nurtured and expanded by mass collective ignorance.” – Gary D. Barnett

No Peer-Reviewed Studies Confirm Vaccine-Type Measles Virus Is Less Infectious or Replicates Less Than Wild-Type Virus in Humans – Jon Fleetwood

280 million COVID-19 vaccine doses ‘secured’ for a population of 26 million… – “That’s 280 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines for a population of 26 million…more than 10 doses for every single man, woman and child in Australia… And yet, Australians had been advised they’d be ‘fully vaccinated’ after two doses…against a disease it was acknowledged from the beginning wasn’t a serious threat to most people, Who on earth signed us up for 280 million COVID-19 vaccines and why? Against a purported disease, ‘COVID-19’, a set of common respiratory ailments, that was acknowledged from the beginning was not a serious threat to most people.” – Elizabeth Hart

Has A Biological Weapon That Causes People To “Cough Up Blood” Been Released Inside Russia? – “It is being reported that an unknown disease that causes people to “cough up blood” has spread to multiple cities in Russia. Of course it is entirely possible that this is a naturally occurring illness, but since Russia is involved in a very bitter war with Ukraine we cannot ignore the possibility that some sort of a biological agent has been released inside Russia .At this stage, the Russians are claiming that nothing unusual is going on… ” – Michael Snyder

Do You Know Who Regulates the Safety of Your EMF/RF/Radiation Exposure? – “Exposure levels freshly updated in 1996! I believe that we are being poisoned regularly and in multiple ways. The clearest and most direct route is by injection. The childhood vaccine schedule, which often commences on the very first day of life, is a well established poison program that continues through adulthood and results in well over 100 poisonings by injection if the recommended schedule is followed.There are many other poisons to mention (like neurotoxic aluminum), but I would like to focus on the electric one, which is largely overlooked. ” – Conspiracy Sarah

Think The Nazis Were Defeated In WWII? They Went On To Run NASA, The EU Commission, NATO And The United Nations So You Tell Me Who Won The War – Geoffrey Grider

NEWS

Le pen, Le Monde, and the SPECTRE over them – “They are rounding up the dissidents. What will it take make people see it? Welcome to lawfare, European Union style. This headline makes it sound sensational. It’s not. It’s likely there was no real crime here at all. Welcome to the “compulsion” stage that comes once consent can no longer be manufactured. This is the “Those who disagree with us are not allowed to participate in politics” stage. For those in America, it may start to look familiar.” – El Gato Malo

L’État, C’est Moi (“I Am the State”).Trumpian Version – “Can we get down to the brass tacks here? As much as the MAGA folks and friends would like to believe that Trump’s Golden Age of American Prosperity is steaming down the pike, and giving him full credit for slaying a lot of political devils like DEI, green energy, weaponizsation of the DOJ/FBI, getting boys out of the girls’ swim lanes, ending the disaster in Ukraine, standing up Elon Musk and the DOGE boys, canceling the penny and scuttling daylight savings time, too, the truth needs be told. To wit, when it comes to economics the Donald is as far out to lunch as Sleepy Joe, Barry, Chuckles, Nancy and the Washington Dems ever were” – David Stockman

No Peace – “After a flurry of peace talks in Saudi Arabia, the Trump peace initiative regarding the war in Ukraine seems to have run out of steam. Putting that aside, what all of this tells us is that there will be no negotiated settlement to the Ukraine war, at least not until things on the battlefield change. Perhaps when the Ukrainian army begins to break in a major way, reality will get over the media firewall into the brains of the political classes in the West. Maybe the Trump administration understands this, maybe not. It does not matter because they are not in control of events, so they can only stand by and watch.” – The Z Man

Trump Has Done — And Will Do — It All – Karl Denninger – AT FIRST I THOUGHT KARL HAD LOST IT AFTER READING THIS, THEN I REALIZED IT IT WAS APRIL1. GOOD ONE FROM KARL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trump won’t rule out seeking a third term in the White House, tells NBC News ‘there are methods’ for doing so – “President Donald Trump said in a Sunday-morning phone call that he was “not joking” about a third term, adding that “it is far too early to think about it.”” – Kristen Welker and Megan Lebowitz

Amid Lawfare & Dem Opposition, Trump Education Order Shifts Duties to Other Agencies – “With federal lawsuits flying and Democrat lawmakers vowing to protect the U.S. Department of Education at all costs, President Donald Trump’s long-awaited executive order on education is making big waves. But it doesn’t do what countless conservatives think it does.” – Alex Newman

Three Words Explain March’s Illegal Border Crossing Numbers – “Border crossing numbers hit a new low in March, with federal agents encountering about 7,000 people entering the U.S. illegally last month, mainly through the San Diego and El Paso sectors. Advertisement Compared to March 2024, when 137,000 individuals crossed the southern border illegally, that’s a 94 percent decrease. Homeland Security officials told the New York Post it’s easy to explain the decline: “the Trump effect.” ” – Leah Barkoukis – AT LEAST THAT’S ONE OF THE THINGS HE SAID HE WOULD DO!!!

Trump Takes on the Banking Industry by Developing his Own Cryptocurrency Financial Network – “While the media has been largely detracted by Musk and his DOGE activities that are allegedly saving the U.S. $billions of dollars by cutting government jobs and agencies, it has now been revealed that the Trump administration has actually spent MORE money out of the U.S. Treasury than the Biden administration did last year during the same time frame. This gives further credence to what Catherine Austin Fitts said a couple of weeks ago, that the Trump administration was NOT reducing spending at all, but just taking that spending out of the Civil Service sector, and transferring those jobs to the private sector instead. They are also trying to rush new crypto-friendly laws through Congress.” – Brian Shilhavy

USDA paid to study queer farmers, Latinx masculinity, more on taxpayer dime – ” U.S. taxpayers have shelled out tens of thousands of dollars in recent years to the U.S. Department of Agriculture for research on LGBT issues, the kind of funding now under scrutiny by the Trump administration.” – Casey Harper

British Council Institutes Harsher Criminal Sentencing, But Only For White Men – Tyler Durden

One outrage after another: Europe is lost – “A French court recently sentenced National Rally leader Marine Le Pen to prison and banned her from running in national elections for five years, ostensibly for embezzling European Union funds. Even the court admitted that Le Pen did not personally profit. This is almost certainly a ruse, as French courts clearly do not care where or how non-conservative politicians and public servants get their money. Well, France has a long history of executing out-of-favor politicians, allegedly in defense of democracy. Remember the Jacobins? But, hey, when in doubt about your election chances, and, to save your beloved “democracy,” it’s always a good thing to jail your political opponents, right? Bridging the East and West, left and right, in a touching display of totalitarian inclusiveness, Brussels has now fully embraced these totally tyrannical tenets.” – Eric Utter

Tehran responds to Trump’s threat – “The US president said that Iran could be bombed if it doesn’t agree to a nuclear deal. Iran will retaliate if attacked, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has warned in response to US President Donald Trump’s recent threat to bomb the country.” – RT

Stupid is and stupid does…or does it? – “I always figure it’s better to overestimate your enemies than to underestimate them.But sometimes, it’s really hard not to look at one’s opposition and wonder just how stupid they really are. See, Teslas have something called “Sentry Mode.” What it does is record video of anyone near your vehicle. You can then play the video back and see who did what. In the case of people’s cars being keyed, for example, there’s video of the person who did this. ” – Tom Knighton

Mark Carney refuses to clarify 2022 remarks accusing the Freedom Convoy of ‘sedition’ – “In 2022, Mark Carney described the Freedom Convoy as an act of ‘sedition’ and advocated for the government to use its power to crush the non-violent protest movement.” – Anthony Murdoch

Trump Moves ‘Nuclear Capable’ Bombers to Within Striking Distance of Iran – “Think about that for a minute: Iranian ballistic missiles landed 32 direct hits on the Nevatim airbase, the most heavily defended airbase on the planet. The Iranians have shown that they can put their missiles on any target in any location in Israel and Israel has no way to stop them. What does it all mean? It means that Israel is luring the United States into a war that it cannot win and that will bring the American Century to a catastrophic end.” – Mike Whitney

Trump: “Very Bad Things are Going to Happen.” Netanyahu Wants the U.S. to Destroy Iran. – “The U.S. Intelligence community, in its annual Global Threat Assessment, refuted Netanyahu’s oft-repeated claim about Iran building a nuclear weapon stating, “Iran is not building a nuclear weapon.”” – Dennis Kucinich
