THE BIG PICTURE

Multiculturalism Is A Globalist Weapon And You’re Not Allowed To Protect Yourself – “If you were alive to witness the events of 9/11, you probably remember the sudden emergence of the “Coexist” bumper stickers and t-shirts across the US after the tragedy. The intended message being that different cultures must be “tolerant” of each other and live in harmony. If you caught yourself with a twinge of visible pain in your face every time you saw this slogan, you were not alone. We have learned over thousands of generations that culture is not just social expression, it is a carefully crafted fortress protecting us from being invaded and destroyed by hostile forces seeking to take what we have created. Homogeneous culture helps to maintain the values that keep our societies safe, industrious and stable.” – Brandon Smith

Reality v. Garbage – “Which is to say, there is Reality, and then there is every other cockamamie aggregate of simulation pretending to represent Reality, i.e. garbage. How many millions among us already subscribe to the latter? Apparently, lots, and they are not evenly distributed these days. You surely know where to look for the un-Reality. The party of men can get pregnant, and all the rest. . . . Enter A-I to make things worse. Probably a lot worse. We have failed to learn the chief lesson of the computer age, which is that the virtual is not an acceptable substitute for the authentic. So, we plunge deeper into realms of the un-real and the inauthentic.” – James Howard Kunstler

Euthanasia is on the rise in the West – “Western nations have embraced killing off their own citizens, something that coincides with their importing new “citizens.” According to reports, 37% more people were euthanized in New Zealand last year than the year before. Progress, right? Euthanizing older folks with allegedly terminal conditions is becoming more common in many Western nations. And, in some cases, those who aren’t elderly at all. And those who may just be really depressed. And, well, you can see where this is headed.” – Eric Utter

Nobody Asked for This: The IRS’s Plan to Take Over Tax Filing – “Back in 2022, President Joe Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act, and among its many provisions was the Direct File pilot program. This allowed Americans to have their tax bills prepared directly by the IRS rather than by accountants or tax preparation software like TurboTax. It’s one thing to have the IRS collecting taxes, but to put it in charge of filing taxes raises a clear conflict of interest. The IRS is an agency of the federal government and thus has an interest in collecting as much in tax revenue as possible. Taxes, after all, fund the paychecks of IRS employees. So while private tax preparers have an incentive to save their customers as much as possible so they’ll be hired again the following year, the IRS is different. Its motivation is to overlook exemptions and credits that might leave more money in taxpayers’ pockets.” – Steve Cortes

When It Comes to Cancer, Most Doctors Don’t Know What They Are Talking About – “Another title for this essay could have been: “Vitamin D is Crucial for Cancer Treatment and Everything Else.” This is an example of why my medical religion is protocol, which means never championing a single substance for cancer treatment or anything else. It is why my hair bristles when I hear so many doctors these days screaming about Ivermectin or Fenbendazole.” – Dr. Sircus

The Government Wrecking Ball Edition – “If I had written at the start of October that the president would destroy a third of the White House before the end of the month, some of my own readers (I know by experience) would have told me I have Trump derangement syndrome. The White House is beloved by a majority of Americans as an iconic structure equal to the Washington Monument. Yet, in less than a week, a third of a structure that has stood the test of time through American history with modifications along the way, has been laid to ruin without any word about what was going to happen by presidential decree, covered with a lie that promised nothing like that would happen. While a poll today shows the vast majority of Americans hate what just happened to the White House, congress barely seems to care. What an apropos symbol of a government that is self-demolishing under a shutdown and under haphazard human resource demolition that preceded the shutdown. ” – David Haggith

The People Helping Fund the New White House Ballroom Are a Who’s Who List of Big Names – Brandon Morse

Tucker EN FUEGO: Taking Stock of MAGA, Ten Years on – “He had me at the Animal Farm cold open — referencing the above concluding paragraph of perhaps the best political work in history, which never fails to send chills down my spine no matter how many times I’ve read it. I don’t have much commentary to add to the above monologue because Tucker hit the nail so hard on the head that piling on would feel gratuitous — except to say that the long-promised Draining of the Swamp has yet to come anything close to fruition, as the creatures that populate said Swamp yet cling bitterly to power. Ominously, ten years into the MAGA revolution, Trump’s very first campaign event in the upcoming election cycle will be in the service of re-electing closeted neocon extraordinaire Lindsey Graham — even though his own base has made it clear six ways from Sunday that they despise the lispy weasel. WTF is going on here?” – Ben Bartee  – INCLUDES TUCKER CARLSON’S LATEST VIDEO ON THE MAGA MOVEMENT WHICH IS QUITE GOOD WHEN YOU HAVE A COUPLE OF HOURS TO WATCH IT!!!!!!!!!!!

‘We are nobody’s backyard’: Trinidad labor leader slams US war on Venezuela (VIDEO) – “Trinidadian labor leader David Abdulah joins The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal to discuss the mobilization of Caribbean social movements and multilateral organizations in resisting the US military build-up that has seen a wave of lethal American attacks on fishing boats on the dubious grounds of combatting “narco-terrorism.”” – The Grayzone  – GOOD INTERVIEW BY MAX!!!!!!!!

The Real Trump Doctrine: ‘We’re Gonna Kill Them’ – “The president is not reluctant to use force. He jumps at the chance to use it.” – Daniel Larison

Retrograde America – “Drill, Baby, Drill; Bomb, Baby, Bomb. I never imagined that America’s strategic nuclear bombers—the high-tech pride and joy of Strategic Air Command (SAC), fielded to deter or, if necessary, wage nuclear war against a superpower that no longer exists—would one day be used as crude instruments of intimidation against a small Latin American country that has no defense against them.” – Bill Astore

Trump’s growing beef in the heartland – “President Trump is facing a growing political problem in America’s agricultural heartland, as he looks to import Argentinian beef to help bring down prices for U.S. grocery shoppers. The Trump administration is reportedly looking to quadruple low-tariff imports from Argentina, raising the quota to 80,000 metric tons per year. The news has enraged America’s beef farmers — and the Republican senators who represent them.” – Colin Meyn

Trump Versus Xi: A Blow-by-Blow Analysis of the US–China Trade War – “The world’s two largest economies are once again battling for dominance. In the latest exchange between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, Beijing is using financial markets as leverage in the trade war, betting that a sustained downturn might pressure Trump to compromise.” – Antonio Graceffo

ECONOMIC NEWS

Mendacity, Pretext—Or Just Plain Lies? – “Consider the plight of the average American citizen who’s economic future becomes more dire, month by month. What they keep hearing from the government is that the economy is good—the best time to be an American. But is it true—or is it just plain lies? It’s lies. ” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

Inflation rate hit 3.0% in September, lower than expected, long-awaited CPI report shows – Jeff Cox

Gresham’s Law says buy the dip – “Nervousness in precious metals is not going to stop the gold and silver bull market. Underweight portfolios are beginning to drive prices through ETF accumulation. This one-week selloff appears spectacular but should be observed in the context of the previous rise. If support at $4000 fails, the gold chart suggests that support will then be found at about $3750, when the price should coincide with the rapidly rising 55-day moving average. Silver, being more volatile on charting grounds should be the weaker of the two in this scenario. But silver is still in backwardation, though the disparity between spot and the active future has declined to about 20 cents, suggesting some temporary supply has reached the London market.” – Alasdair Macleod

SILVER MONETIZED: India’s GAME CHANGER Banking Rule Triggers Global Precious Metals Revolution – “For the first time since the 1800s, a major government has officially re-monetized silver—and not just symbolically. Beginning April 2026, India’s banks will accept silver as collateral for loans, placing it on par with gold in the nation’s financial system. In a single stroke, silver has gone from a traded commodity to a trusted monetary anchor—a change that could ripple through global markets for years to come.” – The Silver Academy

Convulsonomics (VIDEO) with Steve Quayle – ” So many things are going haywire, it appears the world is going into economic convulsions. Quayle has coined the term “Convulsonomics” to describe what we are facing. Let’s start with the exploding record high gold and silver prices that have just sold off dramatically. Quayle, who has sold precious metals for four decades, is not worried and explains, “This is one of the most extreme movements in gold and silver. I want people to understand something; it is normal for a pullback when a market has gotten so hot. ‘ – Greg Hunter

Inflation Is Not Price Increases. Inflation Causes Price Increases – Frank Shostak

Why Precious Metals Are So Volatile Right Now – “Despite their well-earned reputations as stable assets and safe havens, gold and silver have become highly volatile in recent weeks, with sharp moves in both directions. 10 oz Silver Bars (Design Our Choice) 10 oz Silver Bars (Design Our Choice) Price & Buy This marks a significant change in behavior and has sparked widespread discussion across the financial world, particularly after last week’s steep declines. Gold dropped from $4,400 to $4,000, a loss of about 9%, while silver fell from $54 to $48, or roughly 11%, all within just a couple of days. This volatility was entirely foreseeable, however.” – Jesse Colombo

THE BIG PICTURE

Total National Stupidity! – “An intelligent and logical person, in order to be taken seriously as such, must understand and admit that no man knows but an infinitesimal amount of all there is to know. What this indicates is that ignorance about most things among intelligent individuals is universal, and not knowing everything does not qualify someone as stupid. The rub however, is when all legitimate evidence and common reasoning are ignored in favor of presented State narratives, never to be properly vetted, and that this mass indifference my friends, is the essence of stupidity. How many false flags, how many anomalies, and how many lies have to be present in order for the seemingly blind to see? ” – Gary D. Barnett   – GARY HAS BEEN ON A ROLL LATELY, I RECOMMEND ALL READ HIS ARTICLES!!!!

Tyranny of Echoes – “Put real skin in the game or shut the fuck up. Here’s a caution. Freely given, and in good faith. Don’t mistake our silence for acquiescence. We’ll not come for you. There’ll be no vendetta, no dramatic strike. That’s the old estrogenic world. That’s not how a man responds. Your era, the age of the empty talker who monetizes the sweat of others while sneering at the man still swinging the hammer, is in its final, desperate innings. We don’t hate you. Hate’s a passion we can’t afford. We won’t kill you. That would be to grant you a significance you’ve not earned. We’re simply severing the connection. We’re deleting the channel. We’re moving on to what must be preserved.” – E.M. Burlingame  – E.M. IS DEFINITELY NOT AFRAID TO SAY WHAT’S ON HIS MIND!!!

Technototalitarianism, Part One – “It is now clear that the control grid, a phrase popularized by the invaluable work of Catherine Austin Fitts, is being implemented. It is also clear that Trump has been a Trojan Horse to facilitate the implementation’s final steps. Trump is a nonstop distraction, generating headlines and controversy every time he opens his mouth. It would be headline-worthy if he ever shut up. Those observers who want to maintain objectivity and draw a bead on Trump ignore what he says and focus on what he does. That focus yields disturbing conclusions that bely MAGA’s quasi-religious enthusiasm.” – Robert Gore  – LONG, BUT VERY GOOD READ FROM ROBERT AS USUAL!!!

Who Will Protect Us From the Protectors? – “​In the same week in which President Donald Trump announced that he was federalizing 200 Oregon National Guard soldiers and dispatching them to the streets of Portland, he quietly signed a Presidential National Security Memorandum that purports to federalize policing. Merely because an area of governance is reflected nationally does not make the area federal. Chief among these is the police power. The wall between state and federal law enforcement was generally recognized until 9/11. Prior to that, the FBI and other federal police agencies, none of which is authorized by the Constitution, generally devoted their efforts to enforcing federal law. After 9/11, the Bush administration — perhaps to divert public attention from its having slept on that fateful day — began a federal/state collaboration to fight “terrorism.” ” – Judge Andrew P. Napolitano

So, the Digtal ID narrative is falling apart….and yet I have doubts. – Kit Knightly – INTERESTING READ FROM KIT!!!

TACO Man At Bat – “Well, here’s hoping that the TACO man (Trump Always Chickens Out) finally grows a pair, steps up to the plate and is willing to ride this shutdown to a new record beyond the 35 days it took him to capitulate in January 2019. After all, these are desperate times fiscally—so anything that might wake-up the somnolent public to the budgetary disaster that is careening down the pike is worth some serious bumps and grinds on the national stage. Indeed, it is no exaggeration to say that Washington has gone from the ridiculous to the sublime when it comes to managing the nation’s fiscal affairs. So as shown in the table below, capitulating to the Dems’ demands would generate $1.3 to $1.5 trillion of additional red ink over the next decade on top of the mountainous debt already baked into the fiscal cake.” – David Stockman

Pam Bondi, Zohran Mamdani, and the ADL: Censorious Peas in a Pod – “Typically, the only four circumstances under which the leadership of the two parties unite together (that sacred “bipartisanship” they like to tout) are: a.) to hand out more public goodies to their mutual donors, or; b.) to pimp whatever new war they’ve got cooking, or; c.) to invent new ways to strip civil liberties from the peasants and hand more power to the police state, or; d.) all of the above, all at once” – Ben Bartee

Why Does Tylenol Cause Chronic Illnesses Like Autism? – “Exploring how suppressing acute but manageable symptoms can transform them into significantly more severe illnesses. Additionally, Tylenol also has a few other major issues:” – A Midwestern Doctor

The Biblical ‘Tree of Knowledge’ Was Never About ‘Fruit’ – “How Seven Civilizations Told the Same Story About Human Origins. We published an article suggesting Genesis might encode something darker than we’ve been taught. People lost their minds. We expected pushback. What surprised us was the rage. But here’s the thing: we’re not claiming we’ve decoded the absolute truth. We’re pointing at a pattern. And when you look at humanity’s oldest stories, something bizarre emerges.” – The Wise Wolf – FOLLOW UP TO AN ARTICLE WRITTEN BY  ROSE DAWSON AND LINKED YESTERDAY!!!

The Government Is Anti-American – “Watching Antifa attack ICE agents is insurrection. Having been under the cloud of suspicion for as long as I have for anti-government sentiment, watching these clowns come out in full regalia ready for battle without suffering the hammer of federal pervasiveness is mind-numbing. It suggests that the federal government is complicit in their organization and deployment. As is so often stated: “it’s all a show.” I don’t know if that’s true, but it’s becoming much harder to deny. I know, “but Trump…” That doesn’t change very much and someone like Pam Bondi only enforces the suggestion.” – T.L. Davis

Guns of October – “Once again, it feels as if we’re tiptoeing toward an official war between the United States and Russia — as opposed to the proxy war that has endured for three and half years between Russia and NATO-backed Ukraine. Should Poland or Romania be attacked, President Trump’s recent comments suggest that there would be a swift U.S.-NATO response. As is always the case in war, propaganda and misdirection make it almost impossible to analyze this information. Ukraine has an obvious motive to undertake an operation against its allies in an effort to drag U.S.-led NATO into a larger war. ” – J.B. Shurk

Trump’s Green Economy! – “The “Green” Is Dirty Money. There are trillions of dollars yet to be made digging up “clean beautiful coal” and drilling for clean beautiful oil. That’s Trump’s real “green” economy — the green of all those trillions in cash,” – Bill Astore

The Democrats Did America a Huge Favor – “The rapidly metastasizing abomination that is the illegitimate Federal government has been shut down since yesterday due to democrats demanding $1.5 trillion in spending for illegal invader healthcare, child sex mutilation surgeries, and other deranged idiocy. Around 750,00 Federal workers are currently furloughed without pay that was stolen via “income” taxes, which is a decent start, but many millions more must be permanently let go. From unconstitutional agencies like the FDA, EPA, CIA, FBI, NIH, NSA, ATF, and so on and so forth,” – 2nd Smartest Guy in the World

Democrats Want Free Health Care for Illegals – True or False? – “Sifting through the noise of partisanship in Washington. Repealing many of the Medicaid reforms in the GOP megabill signed into law this past summer would make it harder for the US government to prevent illegals from accessing the program, which is what the White House highlighted in its memo. In other words, while Democratic congressmembers and senators might not be outright demanding taxpayer-funded health-care coverage for illegals, their requests for repeals would result in this very thing.” – Andrew Moran

Michigan resident exposes the truth about the Muslim takeover (short VIDEO on X ) – “So yes, what you’re hearing about Dearborn is absolutely true. Yes, it is.” – Wall Street Apes

23 black-on-white homicides noted in Sept., 2025; one white-on-black homicide – “Social media influencers continued to mourn the death of Iryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee brutally killed on a Charlotte, N.C., light rail a month ago. While Iryna’s memory deserves to be honored, the steady toll of young white women losing their lives in America to black aggressors should not be overlooked.” – Kenn Gividen  – AND THIS NEVER GETS COVERD ON THE MSM, WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trump order pledges that US will defend Qatar in event of attack – Simon Lewis and Trevor Hunnicutt

What Dirty Tricks Does the Grandson of Former CIA Director William Colby—a Key Man Running U.S. Foreign Policy in the Trump Administration—Have in Store for Us? – “Elbridge Colby, President Donald Trump’s Under Secretary of Defense for Policy and the man running the U.S. proxy war against Russia in Ukraine, is the grandson of Nixon’s CIA Director William Colby, son of Jonathan Colby, a manager of the Carlyle Group, and nephew of Carl Colby, alleged to have participated in a covert operation targeting Bob Marley, and Christine Colby Giraudo, who worked for Hill & Knowlton. Continuing the family tradition, Elbridge Colby’s Wikipedia page says that his “early career included over five years of service with the Department of Defense, the Department of State, and in the Intelligence Community.”” – By Alexis Baden-Mayer

Ursula von der Leyen tries to change the EU’s constitution – “Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission (the collective body that constitutes the Presidency of the EU), wants to add both Ukraine and Moldova to the EU, though at least one EU member-nation, Hungary, is opposed, and though the EU’s existing Constitution prohibits any new member-nation to be added unless all existing member-nations approve its application to join.” – Eric Zuesse

Euphoric “Generals” in the Stock Market and Disgusted Generals in the Military – David Haggith

Maxwell House Coffee Changes Its Name to “Maxwell Let’s Be Honest, Who Can Afford Home Ownership?” – “Somewhere between 7% mortgage rates and “we’ll consider any all-cash offers that include a firstborn and a kidney,” corporate America finally said the quiet part out loud: homeownership is no longer a plan—it’s a pipe dream. Enter Maxwell Apartment—formerly Maxwell House, and I swear I’m not making that up—the rebrand no one asked for but most folks can, unfortunately, relate to.” – Jenna McCarthy

From Whimper to Scream: ADP Report Shows US Losing Jobs – “The Jobs Recession Is Getting Worse. While the ADP jobs report is usually overshadowed by the Employment Situation Summary from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, that the BLS is shuttered due to the government shutdown means the ADP report is likely the only data we are going to have on US labor markets for the month of September. The National Employment Report was not any sort of good news, or even “good” bad news. The National Employment Report was dire news,” – Peter Nayland Kust

Trust Bonds… At Your Own Peril Trust Bonds… – “At Your Own Peril—because ‘risk-free’ is really just Wall Street’s favourite fairy tale… with a side of risk-y. Japan may have been honouring its elders with “Respect for the Aged Day,” but markets were far too busy worrying about the health of consumers in China and the US—and whether central bankers at the Fed, the BOE and Bank of Japan were feeling spry enough to shuffle rates around. As for earnings, only nine S&P 500 companies reported, with FedEx carrying the whole show—because who didn’t want to know if people were still shipping stuff while the world panicked?” – The Macro Butler

Will AI Crash the Economy? – “Malinvestment on an unprecedented scale, disappointing revenues, soaring costs for utilities stripping discretionary income from consumers and the inevitable reversal of investment euphoria and the crash of stock market bubbles bursting–these are not drivers of positive economic development. Once the stock market euphoria bursts, the wealth effect reverses, and since people feel poorer (and are poorer), they slash borrowing and spending. One domino falling, OK, no big deal. This is different: the lines of dominoes being toppled run through every nook and cranny of the economy. What’s been untouchable will be touched–by a hammer.” – Charles Hugh Smith

What If Hyperscale AI Is Just A Gold Rush? – “A revolution in how tech is being innovated across the economy is clearly happening – but what if we’ve got the winners and losers wrong? What if we’ve misjudged how AI will evolve as companies and individuals innovate AI solutions for themselves, seeking to preserve their data sovereignty and control of their systems?” – Bill Blain

Neighbors, Friends and Enemies – “Who is my friend and who is my enemy, and why is it important to designate people as such? Should I? On the face of it, it’s about my safety and that of my family. If I can identify friend or foe, I can more easily identify threats and make plans to mitigate them. Maybe not easily, but at least I would know at some level what I’m dealing with. I realize that my experiences are far different than those living in the suburbs or in a city. (You should get out, if you can.) I have never been more grateful to be living on a farm, nestled back in the hills, in a lightly populated area of the country.” – SaraSue

Off-Grid Emergency Power Sources During Winter for Preppers – “When the grid goes down in the middle of winter, the stakes are higher than at any other time of year. Cold temperatures, shorter daylight hours, and storm-related outages can quickly turn a minor inconvenience into a survival situation. For preppers, having reliable off-grid emergency power sources during the winter is not just a comfort—it’s a necessity.” – denob

THE BIG PICTURE

The Police State Has a New Playbook: Martial Law, One City at a Time – “Let’s not mince words: every American should be alarmed by President Trump’s “Liberation Day” tactics, theatrics and threats. What is unfolding in the nation’s capital is a hostile takeover of our constitutional republic. This is no longer about partisan politics, wag-the-dog distractions from the Epstein debacle, or even genuine national security concerns. This is martial law disguised as law-and-order—the oldest trick in the authoritarian playbook.” – John & Nisha Whitehead  – HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR JOHN’S TAKE ON THIS ONE AND HERE IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The CDC shooter?  Laid-off fed health workers blame KENNEDY – “Aha. Because criticizing a vaccine is endorsing a man to open fire and kill a police officer. Got it.” – Jon Rappoport

The CHICKENPOX Contagion Experiments: How Pox & Herpes were Determined to be Contagious – “Just when you think you can’t possibly hear something more idiotic than the last idiotic thing you heard, along comes Chickenpox and Herpes contagion experiments… Up until the early 1900s, it was assumed chickenpox came from birds, hence its name. The medical-science industry insisted there were two types of chickenpox, both of which came from bird “germs”, but they claimed only one of the two types was deadly. Being that chickenpox looked exactly like smallpox and cowpox which looked significantly like herpes, the only way to distinguish what the patient was infected with was the doctor’s best guess.” – Agent131711

Climate Lockdowns – “COVID was the rehearsal…Climate is the show. This month, Canadians learned that a walk in the woods could cost more than a speeding ticket. Now the same reflex is being applied to forests. Banning hiking and picnics does not thin fuels, harden towns, or fix power line ignitions. It manages people, not risk. The result is months of restrictions on ordinary life, justified by a storyline that collapses the complexity of wildfire into a single variable, atmospheric CO₂.” – Dr. Matthew Wielicki

How about writing a paper titled ‘Beneficial Bloodsucking’ that states it is “morally obligatory” to promote a plague of the lone star tick whose bite can lead to medical problems including an allergy to red meat. Oh, and it could kill you, but more about that later.” – Chris Morrison

Trump v Putin in Alaska: Who has the upper hand? – “It’s the Art of the Deal versus Putin’s patience. Place your bets! President Trump is meeting President Putin in Alaska this coming Friday, to seek a truce on Ukraine. The back story is that Trump wants to extricate himself from America’s embarrassing failure to undermine Russia by means of a proxy war through Ukraine. Deep state operatives like Victoria Nuland (remember her?) spearheaded the Maidan revolution in 2013, following which Russia took Crimea. But this was almost certainly an extension of US deep state operations from the Colour revolution of 2004 onwards.” – Alasdair Macleod

Save a Country Ride an Ostrich – ” When you picture freedom, maybe you think of an eagle soaring or a horse galloping into the sunset. But maybe—just maybe—our true spirit animal is the ostrich. Yes, the ostrich. A bird that can run 70 km/h, kick with the power to crush bone, and in spirit, is a close cousin of the emu—the bird that literally outmaneuvered an army. What did the emu do? In Western Australia, farmers were overrun by emus eating their crops. The military rolled in with machine guns, thinking it would be a quick victory. It wasn’t. When the dust settled, the emus had won. The government retreated. The “Great Emu War” was over, and the birds remained undefeated. Now imagine the gates swinging open. Imagine the thunder of 400 ostriches tearing across the prairie—not because they’re running away, but because they’re running toward something: freedom. That’s the choice we face as Canadians.” – Connie Shields  – SAME GOES FOR THE U.S. AS WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sydney Sweeney, Whiteness, and Eugenics – “Endangered Blondes in America 2.0. Evidently, having a pretty blonde in a jeans ad, with the caption, “Sydney Sweeney has Great Jeans,” is yet another example of the White Privilege which Blacks seem to find everywhere. To my former blue collar worker mind, it just seems like a clever play on words, the kind I enjoy coming up with. But somehow, this has been deemed beyond racist, and perhaps a glorification of Hitler’s National Socialism. You know, Nazism. After all, it’s undeniable that Sweeney has the kind of Aryan looks that would have titillated the Fuhrer, one testicle and all.” – Donald Jeffries

Hoot of the Day: Trump Asks Goldman to Replace Economist Over Tariff Stance – “All that can be said is Tariffs have not amounted to much price inflation yet. But most economists never expected an immediate reaction. As for “late stage”, Trump delayed tariffs so many times, this is early stage, not late stage. Front-running the tariffs was massive. Also, the irony is staggering. Trump warned the automakers, Amazon, and Walmart against raising prices. What does it say when you have to do that? Tariff Confusion – Who Pays the Tariff. Clever questioning forced Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent into admitting the truth. Unfortunately, the reporter needed one more follow-up question: Is Trump ignorant of how tariffs work or is he a liar? I would love to have heard and answer to that.” – Mish

Beef Prices Soar to All-Time High – “Beef prices surged to an all-time high in July as the market grappled with consistently strong demand and long-term issues in domestic production. Meanwhile, the price of ground beef and uncooked beef steaks has risen by 11.5 and 12.4 percent, respectively, both now at record levels. The rising cost of staple agricultural goods such as beef and eggs has put additional strain on Americans’ budgets this year. While the latter has moderated after breaking records in February, shrinking cattle herds continue to weigh heavily on the price of the former.” – Hugh Cameron

Did HHS Secretary Kennedy Really Ban mRNA Vaccines? Trump Fails to Confirm and Instead Boasts About Operation Warp Speed – “Both the Corporate Media and Alternative Media have reacted very strongly to this announcement claiming that the Government has now stopped funding all mRNA vaccines. But their reactions were polar opposites, from horrified by the Pharma-funded corporate media, to overjoyed by the alternative media. Both sides are wrong in their assumption that all funding for mRNA shots was ending. Listen to what he actually said:The money is just being redirected to develop other vaccines. As we look at what the HHS Secretary has done so far since being appointed to his position, we can clearly see that Mr. Kennedy wants MORE vaccines, not less. They just have to be “safe vaccines,” according to him. ” – Brian Shilhavy – AS I HAVE SAID PREVIOUSLY, ALL FOR SHOW OR NOT,  AS THEY HAVEN’T TOTALLY GOTTEN RID OF mRNA RESEARCH!!!!

Negotiations Fever Strikes Again as Trump’s “Deadline” Hits Midnight – Simplicius

Donald Trump’s nuclear war threat – only a storm in a teacup? – “The West is losing its military wars in Europe and in the Middle East. Russia is now crushing the third “Ukrainian” army equipped by NATO and financed by the West. Iran’s counterstrike against USraeli aggression recently destroyed Israel to such an extent that further open acts of war by the West against Iran had to be suspended for the time being. Western air defenses had and still have no effective means against the superior Russian and Iranian missiles and drones. As a result, the West no longer has any means of escalation dominance in conventional warfare. This now lies entirely with Russia and Iran. However, since the West has not abandoned its war aims of regime change in Russia (in order to subsequently fillet and gut the country) and in Iran (in order to regain control of the Middle East), the countries concerned must continue to prepare themselves for corresponding decapitation strikes. As a military means, the West ultimately has no choice but to resort to nuclear weapons, because its conventional weapons are failing.” – Peter Haenseler

TARIFFMANIA – “Tariffs are going to Make America Great Again!!!! Our deficit problems will be cured. The national debt will decline. Our fiscal nightmare is over. Right? Trump is so excited, he can’t sleep. He’s boasting about the billions in tariff revenues at midnight. He ain’t wrong. Trump isn’t bashful about hyping what he believes are outstanding achievements, like quadrupling tariff revenues and forcing those foreign countries to “pay their fair share”. The numbers don’t lie, but a little perspective on the scale and ultimate impact of these tariffs may be helpful. I think a personal anecdote I’ve experienced will show you the devious methods corporations will use to pass these tariffs along. I have been buying a pack of coated paper plates at Wal-Mart for years. The pack contained 70 paper plates. Within the last four months, the pack was reduced to 50 plates, for the same price. They know the average dolt, after years of government schooling, is deficient in math skills, so they would not realize they just experienced a 40% increase in price per plate. This will show up nowhere in the fake BLS numbers. Shrinkflation is just as bad as inflation, but they can hide it and pretend all is well, while maintaining their profits.” – Jim Quinn

Going, Going Gone. . . . – “In case you’re wondering why the Democratic Party is in a death spiral, it is the proportionate response to the damage they have done to American culture and politics. Coming into the 21st century, our country was beset by looming decline. Our industrial base was going, going, gone, and with it millions of well-paying blue-collar jobs, the Democratic Party base. It was replaced by a so-called “financialized economy,” which was sanitized language for sets of swindles and frauds allowed to operate in the de-regulated banking system, in concert with the politicized Federal Reserve and crooked Congressional interests — you notice how many politicians paid $175-K a year somehow acquired multi-million-dollar fortunes? What mainly grew in this period was government and things that fed off of it,” – James Howard Kunstler

Does Donald Trump Really “Run the World”? – “Or is he even in charge of the White House? On Wednesday, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, whom I have dubbed the “dog killer,” announced that there would be some new conditions on the disbursement of the $1.9 billion in Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds that have been authorized by Congress in the upcoming “big, beautiful budget.” Bear in mind that the money in the budget comes from taxpayers and is intended to alleviate the suffering of Americans who are enduring natural disasters. The Trump administration has now declared that states and cities will not receive FEMA funding if they choose to boycott or otherwise cease doing business with Israeli companies or individuals. That you are a US tax payer paying taxes to assist fellow Americans in an emergency is irrelevant if Israel is involved. The special case granted to Israel is, by the way, unique. No other country enjoys that same privileged status with the current US government.” – Philip Giraldi  – GUESS WE KNOW WHO IS RUNNING THE SHOW!!!!

Trump Authorizes Military Action Against the Drug Cartels in Major Escalation – “President Donald Trump has directed the Pentagon to target foreign drug cartels, including those in neighboring Mexico.

Homicidal Tariffs Rule the Days Ahead as Far as the Eye Can See – “(But in this clouded mess, that is not far.)” – David Haggith

ALERT! THE GOVERNMENT INITIATES AN EMERGENCY DEBT AUCTION. (RUNNING OUT OF CASH). (Video) – “if you thought that, let’s say, for example, the data was fake before, and it all was to the upside. Imagine if they reported the real stuff. Um, what we’re about to see is going to take on a whole new meaning or not see. How’s that? We’re not going to see anything true anymore. I mean, zero truth.  I believe most of us here thought maybe the data would become more real uh when President Trump got the position behind the Resolute desk. I mean, under Biden, it was unbelievably fake. But now  the issue is that even the mainstream media right now is afraid to report even fake numbers to the upside because what happened at the BLS was a sign of what’s to come.” – Gregory Mannarino

The Gathering Economic Storm – “I suspect Trump knows there is serious trouble afoot; after all, he nearly got ruined in the 1980s by being over-levered during the late 70s and early 80s inflationary mess — which Jimmy Carter got blamed for but which was basically dumped in his lap by fiscal policy in the two prior Administrations. You can call Trump many things but stupid isn’t one of them and he also knows whoever is in the left seat of the airplane when it goes down always gets blamed whether its their fault or not. Trump is, of course, in the left seat as President of the United States. This knowledge is likely behind most of what appear to be recent unhinged rants, whether at Jerome Powell or at the BLS — he’s setting the table to be able to point the finger if and when a huge dislocation-style downdraft occurs.” – Karl Denninger

Expect Big Negative Revisions on GDI, Spending, and Industrial Production – “Job revisions are the tip of the iceberg.” – Mish

Bear squeezes in PMs – “Lack of physical liquidity is putting a bear squeeze on gold, silver, and platinum group metal derivatives. After a bullish consolidation, gold, silver, and PGMs are set to resume rising. Silver is just one metal being squeezed higher. Besides rare earths uranium, platinum group metals, lithium, steel, iron ore, titanium and copper (despite its tariff-related sell-off) have all been in bull markets in the past year. This tells us that stockpiling governments and large multinational manufacturers have been selling dollars for tangible metals. Therefore, it is hardly surprising that some metal derivatives are running into trouble. The shorts in forwards and futures are worried for good reason. In the case of silver, platinum, and palladium short squeezes have the potential to propel prices vertically higher.” – Alasdair Macleod

I thought to myself, “Now here’s a guy who was really prepared for TEOTWAWKI.” Standard operating procedure for Scrabble is that during a player’s turn, they can only use the seven tiles in their rack to form words. With prepping, as with many aspects of life, we don’t want to get stuck in a standard operating procedure mindset when putting our preps together. Oftentimes we need to tweak things for our particular situation and use situational operating procedure as long as it still gets the job done.” – St. Funogas

It was nothing radical either, considering r/Middle Class Finance is described as “a place to come and discuss financial issues that affect the middle class.” What was the comment? No idea (we’ll get to that, stay with us). But the headline read: Prices keep creeping up. Inflation is coming people. Prepare.

So Long, American Dream, it was Good to Know You – “Goodbye white picket fences, George Carlin once cleverly noted, “That’s why they call it the American Dream- because you have to be asleep to believe it.” By the time he said that, it was a bleak but mostly true observation. The destruction of the American Dream is reflected everywhere around us. The crumbling infrastructure, crying out for attention like a starving Palestinian. The rise in obesity, chronic illness, and slovenliness. “Smart” phones, which have helped to destroy eye to eye communication.

Now, however, with much more serious crimes than Trump was ever charged with, the Democrats believe that they cannot be charged, indicted and put in prison, though they were the motivating factors behind such treatment of a president and his staff.

Here we’ve got the soon-to-be democratic socialist mayor of Minneapolis, Omar Fetah, in 2021 demanding $400 million from the taxpayers to invest in “anti-racism” measures — a euphemism for training white people to hate themselves and allow themselves to be steam-rolled by Third World migrants with one hand open, waiting for the cash, and the other clutching a tire iron to deliver Diversity™ via blunt force, if need be:” – Ben Bartee

Trump’s Tariffs Didn’t Spike Prices—Here’s What Did – “Tariffs Aren’t Tanking the Economy (Yet)” – Peter Nayland Kust

Blame Covid: America’s Economy Hits a Wall – “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the seeds of this economic crisis were sown the moment we let COVID panic override common sense. We injected trillions into the system under the guise of “relief,” inflated asset bubbles, distorted labor incentives, and trained both Wall Street and Main Street to expect free money forever. We turned off the economy, paid people not to work, and then acted shocked when inflation spiked, supply chains broke, and productivity cratered. And when the bill came due? ” – Justin Hart

There will be no new projections, so we only have the formal statement and Powell’s post-meeting press conference to look forward to. During the press conference Powell is likely to repeat that the Committee is waiting for more clarity about trade policy and the impact of tariffs on the economy. Powell has repeatedly said that the Fed is waiting for more clarity about trade policy and the impact of tariffs on the economy. The FOMC would like to address the part of the dual mandate that shows the largest and most persistent deviation. At the same time, the Committee wants to prevent tariffs from turning from a one time price increase to something more persistent.” – Philip Marey

Why Curing the National Debt Could Kill the Patient – “The biggest threat to your wealth today isn’t inflation or recession – it’s a deliberate policy shift meant to stabilize the national debt. This may be the only way out of our debt trap. But how much of our prosperity will it cost us?” – Peter Reagan

Preparedness Primer for an Uncertain Future – Part 1 – “A lot of young people today talk about “life hacks” meaning a way to do things more efficiently, especially those things that are done in an unconventional fashion. Whenever I hear about “life hacks,” it brings a chuckle in that most of these life hacks are just common sense. Common sense is in fairly short supply, so these seems like nuggets of incredible wisdom. In the next few days, maybe you will discover some “life hacks” for smoother sailing on your preparedness journey.” – Single Farmer

The Most Environmentalist Woman in the World (Dos Equis Commercial) (VIDEO) – Abandoned Films – GOOD ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AI Appreciation Day: The machine doesn’t need your gratitude – “AI is a tool, not a teammate; the more it evolves to look human, the more we must remember this. So why are we giving it a national holiday and treating it like an equal?” – Collapse Life

SO MUCH FOR BOBBY AND MAHAHAHA!!!!!!

NEWS

Mistrusting Government about Epstein and More – “The willingness of so many Trump allies to openly criticize the Epstein announcement and other actions like the bombing of Iran is a positive development. Advancing liberty requires that more people refuse to automatically trust government officials, whether concerning Epstein, wars, the economy, or other important matters. Widespread questioning of government presents an opportunity for the liberty movement. ” – Ron Paul

Will John Brennan Ever Tell the Truth? – “John Brennan spent years lying to Congress, the press, and the public—yet now claims he’s “clueless” about a DOJ investigation. He’s only clueless about how not to lie.” – Victor Davis Hanson

The Epstein Saga – “As Epstein was murdered to keep him quiet, it was obvious no files would be released. AG Bondi said she had the files and videos and was going through them. But then the men in black paid a visit, and suddenly there were no files. Moreover, the authorities concluded that Epstein committed suicide in his prison cell. So we are left with the puzzle, there is no evidence that Epstein did anything wrong, so he committed suicide for no reason. If Epstein had no client list, to whom was he trafficking the minors? The stink is so strong that Dan Bongino, the deputy director of the FBI, is reportedly considering resigning.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Missiles to Moscow: Trump Prepares to Escalate – “It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s SuperTrump! Trump likes to claim the big finish. The Houthis were finished, but they aren’t. He’s done now with Epstein, but far from it. The war with Iran was over in twelve days with Iran nuclear capability “obliterated,” but it’s not. So, no wonder Trump is not happy that the war he would end in Ukraine in 24 hours keeps dragging on. Russia is making almost no progress, in spite of attacks that have been more intense. Trump promised a big announcement about Putin’s Ukraine invasion for today, but it’s not completely clear what the big announcement was. As Trump likes to say, I guess we’ll find out in a couple of weeks.” – David Haggith

Trump’s Weapons Magic Show is Smoke & Mirrors Masterclass – “Trump finally ‘wowed’ the world today with his grand announcement on punitive measures against Russia. As usual, the announcement struck a dull and lackluster chord for most, with Russian markets jubilantly jumping by nearly 3% in response. But let’s dig in to see whether there is actually more meat on the bone of Trump’s scary threats than people give credit for.” – Simplicius

Threatening The Russians With An Ultimatum Will Backfire Severely And Will Set The Stage For Nuclear War – Michael Snyder

Trump sets up massive shell-game deception to keep Ukrainian war machine going and threaten Russia with an ultimatum – “Trump announces deal to ‘sell’ US weapons to US-dominated NATO, which would then funnel them to Ukraine. It would be a boon for US weapons makers but how does this benefit the American taxpayer?” – Leo Hohmann

Trump’s “Major Statement” On Russia Is A Clumsy Attempt To Thread The Needle – “His threatened secondary sanctions could majorly backfire by harming the US’ own interests.” – Andrew Korybko

Trump terrified by BRICS strategic threat – “You want war? Bring it on. This is it. The ruling classes of the Empire of Chaos, plus the current, clownish Circus Ringmaster have finally realized that BRICS is a serious strategic threat – and existential challenge – to their unilateral domination of the current system of international relations. They didn’t come to this conclusion by carefully scrutinizing the BRICS annual summit in Rio – or last year’s ground-breaking summit in Kazan for that matter: they are lousy at doing basic homework. It’s more like they were awakened from their torpor by feeling in their skins which way the – global – wind is blowing,” – Pepe Escobar

Charting The U.S. Pharma Supply Chain As Trump Threatens 200% Tariffs – “”A 200% tariff would inflate production costs, compress profit margins, and risk supply chain disruptions, leading to drug shortages and higher prices for U.S. consumers,” Barclays analysts wrote last week. ” – Tyler Durden

Tariffs Built America—Can They Save It? – “Hamilton and McKinley used tariffs to build a productive America, not crash it” – Kane McGukin

Regime Change for Whom? – “The Incestuous Partnership Between the USA and Israel is Ripe for Regime Change. The Zionist fusion of the United States of America with Israel has become a thoroughgoing disaster causing grave damage across many frontiers of rapid ruination. As is currently on broad public display, the fusion of these two polities is contributing to the downfall of many important pillars of global civilization.” – Anthony James Hall

Humanitarian aid from hell: The extermination of Palestinians is being disguised as help – “Israel and America want to ‘benevolently’ put the population of Gaza into what amounts to a concentration camp” – Tarik Cyril Amar

Inflation Makes A Comeback – “Consumer Price Inflation Rose More Than Expected” – Peter Nayland Kust

Fed’s Nightmare: CPI Inflation in Services Reheats (not tariffed), while Inflation in Durable Goods, Apparel & Footwear (tariffed) Remains Cool – “While pundits looked with their magnifying glasses for tariffs in consumer goods prices, it was in services, which are not tariffed, where inflation took off again. Shocker? No” – Wolf Richter

Gold Revaluation Speculation – “Since February, there has been speculation that the U.S. government might be planning a revaluation or remonetization of its gold hoard. These theories have been popping up again over the past few weeks, so here’s an update.” – Craig Hemke

Housing Bust Intensifies As Inventories Surge – “Check out the delusional asking prices” – John Rubino

Silver’s Breakout? – “And does anybody remember when American dollars were real money?” – Matthew Bracken

Michael Oliver Just Predicted The Price Of Silver Will Hit $160-$240 – “What is going on right now is silver is compensating for having been restrained for so long by forces that are trying to hold it back. And the problem with that is that when it bites them they are on the short side of the market so the squeeze is them exiting what are now vulnerable short positions. And so I think that is the main driving force in silver in this slingshot move is killing the forces that have stood in its way for several years. The technicals argue to us that both silver and the gold and silver miners are now in gear to outpace gold, and by enough multiples to make the moves awesome — I think in a way that will drop people’s jaws. ” – King World News

The Futility of Price Stability Policies – “There is almost complete unanimity among economists that the most important role of the central bank is to attain price stability. Allegedly, the policy of price stability promotes economic growth and individual well-being. According to popular thinking, a policy of price stability increases the visibility of the relative changes in the prices of goods and services.” – Frank Shostak

Smart States Are Embracing Gold And Silver – “Dumb states, not so much.It’s nice that states are separating themselves into “smart” and “stupid” categories so Americans can tell where and where not to live. The issue of sound money, in particular, is indicative of a whole range of other likely tax/spend/regulate policies that affect quality of life. ” – John Rubino

How Do You Define an “Emergency Situation”? – “Throughout our lifetimes we may see many types of emergencies not just the Schumer Hits The Fan (SHTF) types of emergencies such as nuclear war or economic collapse that we should be prepared for. I have found that in my life choosing the prepper lifestyle has aided me in many such emergencies. Once, for instance, I found when I was laid off from work that my preparedness and stringently frugal rationing kept my family fed.” – A.Y.

THE BIG PICTURE

Reading between the headlines: A candid conversation with James Perloff (VIDEO) – “From the rapid shifts in tensions between Iran and Israel to questions about the potential for domestic unrest, we take a calm but critical look at the patterns that drive political and media responses in moments like this. We also revisit the much-discussed Deagel population forecast — not as a prediction, but as a lens for understanding how narratives, policy, and technology intersect. Could a chilling but coordinated plan be unfolding behind the scenes? The question is worth positing not because we enjoy wearing tinfoil, but in the context of how quickly the domestic and international situations appear to be in flux bordering on chaos.” – Collapse Life

Trump US CDC nominee backs vaccines as life-saving – “Monarez sees no link between autism and vaccines Monarez would prioritize vaccine availability, modernize outbreak detection. “I have no a priori prejudices against mRNA platform or any other approach that is being taken to develop vaccines,” she said, adding that the Food and Drug Administration has approved mRNA vaccines as safe.” – Ahmed Aboulenein – MORE MAHAHAHA. AND YOU THOUGHT BOBBY WOULD BE LOOKING OUT FOR YOU. WITH THIS NOMINEE AND WITH MALONE ON BOARD, WILL WE HAVE MORE mRNA JABS!!!!

False flags are occurring almost daily now – “The name “false flag” comes from the days when naughty captains of sailing ships used to put up a flag suggesting that they belonged to an opposing navy. Pirates used to favour the same trick. Down would come the Jolly Roger. And up would go the Spanish or British flag. History is full of false flag operations.” – Dr. Vernon Coleman

The recycling scam laid bare in California’s leftist heartland – “Our South Carolina neighborhood has green cans for garbage and blue cans for recycling. All our neighbors dutifully separate their garbage. We don’t, and we don’t for a very specific reason. What I discovered a couple of years ago is that, while different trucks drive around collecting blue and green cans on garbage day, at the end of the shift, the trucks dump all the garbage into the same landfill. It’s a scam that, according to my local representative, makes people feel good about themselves.” – Andrea Widburg

NEWS 

A Dog and Pony Show for Your Viewing Pleasure – “Trump’s not getting his intelligence from Tulsi, so where’s he getting it? And, in the midst of this Israeli/Iran/US dog and pony show, what motivations are lurking in Trump? A dog and pony show is flashy displays, using superficial content rather than substance, with an intention to impress and persuade an audience. Trump’s attack on Iranian nuclear sites was a dog and pony show, at the same time, replete with war crimes. Whereas Tulsi Gabbard gets her intelligence from facts on the ground, Trump’s intelligence comes from FOX News/Mossad/Palantir (a mix of AI and the film, Minority Report, plot predicting future-crime, assessing trends/predictions/telephone call patterns). This is where intelligence is headed, a mix of video games and AI, already being used in the mass slaughter of GAZA, and assassinations throughout the region.” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

Decaffeinated Uranium – “It was the perfect war for this strange, new world. Done, dusted and filed away in just twelve days. Heroes and villains and speeches. Incompetence at high-noon followed by promises of nuclear holocausts at five minutes before midnight. Yawn. I’ve caught myself doing that a lot lately. Increasingly, I’m finding it difficult to get worked up into a fuming mess by prospects of the world meeting an untimely end. Reality as we know it is ending, that is all. My own non-scientific analysis believes Iran still only possesses very decaffeinated uranium. War-mongers disagree and believe the Iranians are/were merely hours away from putting the finishing touches to an impressive looking stainless steel espresso machine. Well, until fourteen big, beautiful bombs from the United States obliterated the craftmanship. Or maybe they didn’t. Or maybe they half did.” – Gerry O’Neill

From bunker bombs to Nobel dreams: Trump’s war for peace – “Choosing a military solution over a negotiated one in dealing with Iran is is a throwback to US unilateralism and regime change policies” – Kanwal Sibal

Israel-Iran: The Denouement – “Many new facts are coming to the surface in the denouement phase of the Iran-Israeli conflict. One has to do with the damage that Israel actually incurred, which caused it to so swiftly seek an out from the slugfest: It further admits Israel’s largest oil refinery in Haifa was ‘badly damaged’, and that the brief war against Iran cost far more than both conflicts against Hamas and Hezbollah from October 2023 onward—which is shocking when you think about it. In short, Iran did massively more damage than we were led to believe. In fact, some reports now indicate up to four of the Iranian generals claimed as ‘killed’ have resurfaced unharmed, though—besides Ismail Qaani—as of this writing it remains unverified: The hits on Iran’s nuclear sites are likewise fraught with questionable details.” – Simplicius

MAJOR victory for Trump in the US Supreme Court – “SCOTUS has ruled that federal district judges can’t make decisions that affect the whole country. Doesn’t matter what of kind of case it is, or who the plaintiffs are. The decisions of these federal district judges only affect the plaintiffs in a case. The ruling isn’t universal. It doesn’t apply to the whole country—as has been the case in many of these judges’ decisions which have blocked Trump’s Executive Orders. No more. That’s gone.” – Jon Rappoport

#FAKE TRADE DEAL. U.S. INFLATION WORSE THAN “EXPECTED.” CONSUMER CON-JOB. (VIDEO) – Gregory Mannarino

Trump’s Win Streak Snaps – “PCE Inflation Report Shows Prices Rose In May” – Peter Nayland Kust

That Drop in Consumer Income in May Was a False Recession Alarm – “Wages & salaries rose at a solid pace, but Social Security payments returned to trend after a spike in April due to policy changes.” – Wolf Richter

The Powell Fed is Going to Trigger Another Crisis – “Fed Chair Jerome Powell has no idea what he’s doing. I’m not saying this for dramatic effect. Powell’s ignorance of basic macroeconomics was on stark display in his testimony before Congress earlier this week. However, for all his concerns about inflation, the Fed Chair has just revealed he doesn’t even know the breakdown of the official inflation data. And no, I’m not exaggerating here.” – Graham Summers, MBA

How the Fed Made Housing Unaffordable – “Because President Trump has crushed inflation, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell needs to lower interest rates today, and if not Chairman Powell needs to resign, immediately. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac can help so many more Americans if Chair Powell will just do his job and lower rates. With these comments, Pulte is demonstrating that he, like his boss Donald Trump, subscribes to the standard Yellen-Bernanke inflationist model of monetary policy: the job of the central bank is to forever force down interest rates, churn out more easy money, and devalue the currency. Pulte claims publicly that this somehow makes homes more affordable. As we’ll see below, though, the Fed’s easy-money policy of recent decades has not made home more affordable. Rather, Fed policy has helped to relentless increase home prices through the Fed’s asset purchases, interest rate policy, and monetary inflation.” – Ryan McMaken

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.

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

ECONOMIC NEWS

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. This is from CNBC 77% of Americans right now are feeling the pinch of, uh, well food price inflation.  Look what they do here.  Food price inflation.  They can’t say currency purchasing power loss because , you see, that would put a whole different spin on it.  And it’s not just food prices which are rising on the back of currency  which is being evaporated.  We all know that here.  It’s everything and this is going to accelerate” – Gregory Mannarino

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

‘Meet the new pope, same as the old pope…’ Will we get fooled again? And what’s really going on that they don’t want us to know about? – “The big news today is that Donald Trump has signed a trade deal with the United Kingdom. Can you believe it? That was Trump’s “big announcement?” A trade deal with America’s ninth largest trading partner? Whoopee. I personally have never bought anything in any store that said “made in the UK” that I can remember. Spare me. This is not news. Those in the news business (they’re really professional propagandists) are also wanting us to have our eyes on the Vatican and who the next pope will be. Wow, an American liberal from Obama’s Chicago stomping grounds. Here’s all you need to know about the new pope, Cardinal Robert Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, So, if it’s not the pope, what is the really big story we should be focused on this week? The one almost nobody is looking at?” – Leo Hohmann

Trump’s Tariffs – Tanking the US Economy – “The West Must Fall for the UN2030 Agenda to Succeed. What most conservatives don’t know, is that the Federal Reserve printed 8.8 trillion dollars during Trump’s first term. Most of these newly printed dollars found their way into the pockets of Trump’s friends in the Billionaire Class. This was done largely through the COVID-19 plandemic. About six months prior to the start of the plandemic, BlackRock executives submitted a plan to The Fed, suggesting they plunder billions from the American People during the next downturn. It was called the Going Direct Plan. The inflation that began accelerating as soon as Biden took office, was caused by his predecessor, Donald J. Trump. Yes, Biden printed another 7-8 trillion dollars; but, it was the Trump Administration’s actions that kicked off the mass inflation of the US dollar which we have seen over the past 4+ years. Biden’s printing just kept the Trump-trend going.” – Sarah E. Lawton

Here’s What This MEANS – “Hacking and tracking with the new Surgeon General nominee, Dr Casey Means..” – Conspiracy Sarah

Inside CBDC’s Anti-Trump Rebrand – “when Trump was elected to his second term, he vetoed the digital dollar completely via executive order. Banning all development of a central bank-backed digital dollar. That’s not to say the Trump Administration is anti-digital money entirely. Rather, they plan to rely on dollar-backed private stablecoins. In basic terms, they still want a digital currency, they’re just not so crazy about the “central bank” part. This makes it more of a semantic difference than anything else. It’s all about marketing, messaging and branding. The now cliché routine of promoting [thing] by having Donald Trump come out against it. If Trump is anti-CBDCs then a near-decade of Pavlovian conditioning means almost every “liberal” in the Western world will suddenly be violently pro-CBDCs to the point of madness. CBDCs will become some weird badge of freedom to these people.” – Kit Knightly

Trump “finally” “bans” “dangerous” Gain-of-Function (GOF) research by continuing the military GOF research… – “This is not supposed to make sense. Expect more fake pandemics and mass poisoning under pretenses of public health from your favorite government.” – Sasha Latypova

Cancer before age 50 is increasing. A new study looks at which types – “A new government study provides the most complete picture yet of early-onset cancers, finding that the largest increases are in breast, colorectal, kidney and uterine cancers. Why is this happening? Explanations will take more research. The big databases used for the study don’t include information on risk factors or access to care. Theories abound and a big meeting is planned later this year to bring together experts in the area.” – Carla K. Johnson  – YEP, BRING IN THE EXPERTS. YOU THINK IT JUST MIGHT BE THE JABS. SEE SAGE’S ARTICLE BELOW AS WELL!!!

Going Around. . . Coming Back Around – “You must also imagine that in his 100-plus days as Interim US Attorney for DC, Mr. Martin assembled quite a portfolio of evidence around the manifold blob wrong-doings of the past decade, but especially the treachery of the J-6 / 2021 blob operation at the US Capitol, and the ensuing cover-up of all that, including the intel community’s role in it, the perfidy and perjuries of Chris Wray, Merrick Garland, Nancy Pelosi and others, On the ostensible defeat of Ed Martin’s nomination, the president instantly turned around and installed Jeanine Pirro as Interim US Attorney for DC. All of which is to say, the blob officials and lawfare stormtroopers are mistaken to think that their ongoing circus of legalistic monkey business has somehow gained immunity from appraisal, investigation, and prosecution by de-railing Ed Martin.” – James Howard Kunstler

Trump Appoints Judge Jeanine Pirro as Interim US Attorney for DC – “Pirro previously hosted ‘Justice with Judge Jeanine’ on Fox News for ten years. She currently is a co-host of ‘The Five,’ also on Fox News.” – Joseph Lord

It’s 2025, And Empathy Is Psychopathy – “Woke Claims Souls On The Left and On The Right. Eye for an eye? Is it a numbers game? 2000 vs. 1,776,000 (I have no way to confirm death statistics from Gaza, but does there come a point, according to Israel’s defenders, when the 2000 deaths have been avenged? Is sympathy for Gaza’s slaughtered nothing but dressed up support for Hamas? For a global Marxist agenda?” – Celia Farber

The war of the prebunk – “Set the frame, control the game. Media and “institutional” reporting has become a complete circus. The level of lie has grown so thick it’s difficult to discern truth and the astonishing conclusions arising therefrom are sufficient to beggar belief and faith in humanity alike. It’s a deliberate policy, A combination of fabrication and tinsel to “pre-bunk” and pre-frame narratives. It’s really very simple: you get the lie out in advance of the truth and then use it to cast the truth as a lie when anyone tries to tell it.” – El Gato Malo

Becoming Hostiles – “You have to understand that everything the government funds is, in some way, money laundering. Once you fully embrace the level of outright fraud, mismanagement and criminal intent built into every government, federal and state; where employees seek to fund their woke, leftist agendas through NGOs by appropriating tax dollars coercively collected from hard-working Americans, only then can one understand the uselessness of exchanging one politician for another, one head of a criminal family for another.” – T.L. Davis

More Bells Toll for Israel as the Tide Inexorably Turns Against It – “”Israel must be destroyed” is in the process of becoming common sense. There have been multiple executive orders, “anti-Semitism” laws, and in general an all-out assault on the fundamental democratic principle of free political speech in the Western world that has one impossible goal—to order the tide of Israel’s destruction to cease, desist, withdraw, and above all, STFU. It’s not working, and images like this are why.” – Ohio Barbarian

As we commemorate VE and Victory Day, it’s time to tether the dogs of war – “Feeding the Ukrainian dogs of war will only prolong the needless suffering for the poor innocent people caught in the crossfire.” – Ian Proud

The AfD’s Views On Nationality Actually Aren’t Extremist At All – “The AfD believes that ethnic Germans have a special connection to their country due to their shared culture and experiences, which non-ethnic German citizens lack, especially those from civilizationally dissimilar societies across the Global South who only recently arrived there. These views actually aren’t extremist at all since they’ve been shared by the vast majority of humanity throughout history in their own contexts.” – Andrew Korybko

America ‘Dangerously Close’ to ‘Rolling Blackouts & Grid Failure’ Like ‘We Just Saw in Spain,’ Trump’s Interior Secretary Warns – Frank Bergman

Canada Attempts to Loosens Reliance on US Trade – “Those adhering to US boycotts fail to realize that the Canadian economy is structurally tied to the US economy. Infrastructure was designed to support trade through railways, trucking routes, and pipelines. Europe and Asia cannot replace the accessibility or scale of the US market. Additionally, the economy is closely aligned with the USD, and a major pivot would expose Canada to currency volatility. Canada may strengthen ties with other nations to fill margins but it cannot write off its top trade partner.” – Martin Armstrong

Who Killed the Rockers and the Comedians? – “Cultural banality in America 2.0” – Donald Jeffries

Commies gonna commie – “Commies have got to spy on capitalists because communists can’t create, only steal. And while China might produce low-cost stuff and have something resembling private ownership to some degree, at heart, they’re still commies and they’re still eager to steal stuff from the West. Which Stanford has been reminded of.” – Tom Knighton

THE BIG PICTURE

“Officer Safety” – “We hear that term – officer safety – a lot. It’s interesting because the last thing most of us feel when we seen an “officer” in our rearview mirrors is “safe.” Why is that? Well, it’s basically for the same reason that a chicken doesn’t feel safe when it notices a hawk perched on a branch above the coop. It’s a predator vs. prey situation. And that is exactly the situation.When you see an “officer” hiding in a cutout by the side of the road you know he is not looking for criminals. He is awaiting his prey. People who “speed” and who do not have the required (and up to date) ear tags displayed. Who are not wearing a seat belt and other such made-up offenses that involve no criminality because they involve no harm done to anyone else or even the person who is “pulled over” by the “officer.” ” – Eric Peters – THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS IN A POLICE STATE, AND DON’T DARE TO DISAGREE WHEN PULLED OVER, YOU MAY END UP DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!

New Kennedy universal vaccination platform—huh?? Excuse me?? – “This is big. Kennedy and HHS have just launched a new plan for vaccination in America. A universal platform of some kind. The official announcement is studded with references to viruses. Protection against this one, that one, the other one. (None of the viruses exists.) The idea is: a single vaccine would protect against multiple viruses, including possible pandemic strains.” – Jon Rappoport

Arrest Dr. Fauci Now A Case for Criminal Accountability – “Why this has not been done in the first 100 days of Trump’s presidency is beyond the pale. He could be nailed for many reasons, yet he is free as a bird, though I would not want to be him.” -Dr. Sircus

Evidence that autism rates increase with introduction of more vaccines and broader diagnostic criteria – “It turns out there are inflection points and they point to real-time significant events that are inextricably-linked to the increasing autism rates” – Jessica Rose

MKULTRA: The Hidden Hand | Part 4 – The Mirror – “Throughout this series, we’ve traced mind control’s evolution: from MKULTRA’s laboratory experiments on unwitting subjects, through the theatrical staging of celebrity programming, to the technological scaling that brings these methods to billions through networked devices. Now we reach the final phase—the moment we must confront what these systems reveal about consciousness itself and the battle for cognitive freedom.” – Joshua Stylman  – THE FIRST 3 PARTS HAVE BEEN LINKED!!!!

Europe’s blackouts are a warning for Americans – “The effort to purge fossil fuels from economies and reshape the global economy through heavy-handed regulations, wealth transfers, and centralized planning was always tinged with economic hubris.” – Jon Miltimore

George Soros: NATO should be used as a tool to usher in a New World Order – “In 1993, George Soros penned an essay about using NATO and NGOs as tools to move the world towards a New World Order; a world of “open societies.” The conceptual framework Soros was referring to was the concept of open and closed societies. As we all know, Soros has been promoting open societies and launched the Open Society Foundations in 1993 to this end. Using the word “open” is misleading. Soros’ concept of open society is not what most people think it is and not what his Foundation portrays it to be.” – Rhoda Wilson

NEWS

There Will Be Boundaries – “It has been apparent for years that Mr. Trump’s symbolic role as a father figure is the most deeply resented feature of his role in US politics.It also appears that many men in this country likewise get this, perhaps because nature conditions them early on to understand that some day they might have to play the role of father, meaning they will have to push back hard against emotional disorder, hysteria, illogic, and untruth, and violence. Hence, you might see the peril of living in a land with so many fatherless households. This lamentable state of things defines the Democratic Party, where raging, inchoate, resentment-driven Jacobinism dwells, a party now with no leader, a household with no father, no one to regulate its frenzied, power-seeking behavior. This also tells you how the Democratic Party has become the party run by women, and by particular types of women” – James Howard Kunstler

The West Eats Itself – “Western governments undermine elections, religious freedom, free markets, and free speech. The same Western leaders who speak endlessly about “protecting Democracy” continue to rig elections, outlaw political parties, and prosecute candidates. Germany has declared Alternative for Germany — now the country’s most popular party — an “extremist group” on par with domestic terror organizations. The European Union helped Marxist globalists in Romania invalidate a presidential election and ban the winner from office. France and Brazil have followed the U.S. example of bringing ludicrous criminal charges against popular anti-Establishment politicians, and while President Trump overcame the sham prosecutions targeting him, Marine Le Pen and Jair Bolsonaro are fighting just to survive. ” – J.B. Shurk

The Bell Tolls for All White Gentile Ethnicities – “The Vice President and Secretary of State of the United States have called attention to the tyrannical behavior of the current German government, a corrupt anti-democratic government, controlled by Israel, that is holding on to power by designating its rival, AfD, the rapidly growing second largest party as “extremist.” Recent polls indicate that the AfD has pulled even and perhaps a bit ahead of the government that is trying to suppress it. By applying the “extremist” label to its rival, the government gives itself the power to use its spy agencies to keep the AfD under surveillance. This permits the current corrupt government to know in advance the AfD’s electoral plans while demonizing the AfD as so extreme that it must remain under surveillance. On what grounds is the AfD designated extremist?” – Paul Craig Roberts

Trump Proposes Cuts to ATF After Biden’s Weaponization of Agency – Tom Knighton

No, State Media and Democracy Don’t Go “Hand in Hand.” Just the Opposite – “In the age of digital censorship, state media is just as likely to be a threat to democracy as a boon to it” – Matt Taibbi

Something Is Seriously Wrong With Michelle Obama – “If you had told me just a few years ago that Michelle Obama would be a presidential candidate, I’d have said she was the most formidable opponent the Democratic Party could put up. Yet, as I sit here in May of 2025, I’m not even sure she’d survive a primary, much less be competitive in a general election. Things have changed dramatically, and the spiral is continuing for Barack Obama’s wife. Her new podcast has not only bombed in the ratings, but she’s been using the platform to dish on her husband and call America racist while showing an astonishing amount of entitlement and lack of self-awareness. It’s as if she’s going through a mid-late-life crisis, and that includes rather noticeable changes to her appearance.” -Bonchie

German political class gleefully planning the wider persecution of Alternative für Deutschland and its supporters, because Hitler – “As a direct consequence of this transparently orchestrated publicity campaign masquerading as an official “investigation,” we now have to have unceasing constant very concerned discussions across all print and video media about why the AfD are so bad and what we should do about it.” – eugyppius

Will We See Mushroom Clouds Over Kashmir? – “One of the world’s, oldest and most dangerous conflicts went critical this past week as nuclear armed India and Pakistan traded threats of war. The Kashmir conflict is the oldest one before the UN. India’s right-wing politicians are loudly demanding revenge strikes against Pakistan as PM Modi stirs up anti-Muslim hatred in India – following the example set in America by his new ally, President Donald Trump. Pakistan is calling on its key ally, China, for support. India and China are at scimitars drawn over their poorly demarcated Himalayan border –another legacy of British imperialism.” – Eric S. Margolis

The Department of Empire – “And Its Bloated Imperial Budget” – Bill Astore

Miller Would Be a Disastrous Choice – “Miller is a dangerous ideological zealot. The president reminded us yesterday that things can always get worse: U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday he is considering naming his deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller as national security adviser and expects to appoint a successor to Mike Waltz within six months.” – Daniel Larison

Israel Approves ‘Conquering Gaza, Holding Territories’ Ahead Of Trump’s Mideast Trip – Tyler Durden

It Was Never About Hostages. It Was Never About Hamas. – “There is absolutely no excuse for continuing to babble about hostages and Hamas after the US and Israel said the goal is the complete ethnic cleansing of Gaza. Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that freeing the Israeli hostages in Gaza was not his top priority, suggesting instead that defeating Hamas should take precedence over a hostage deal.” – Caitlin Johnstone

ZIONISM a deception with many layers and none of them are pretty. – “Zionism’s roots can be traced back to the earliest Christian Crusades. Zionism was originally a movement to acquire the Holy Land for the Catholic Church and its Papacy. Zionists are, therefore, the arch enemies of all Jews.” – Frances Leader -INTERESTING READ FROM FRANCES!!!

Texas Students Could Be Punished for Quoting the Bible If Gov. Abbott Signs New Bill Into Law: SB 326/HB 239 – “Christian theology and history would fall under Texas’ new definition of “hate”—silently criminalized through a foreign speech code never shown to the public.” – Jon Fleetwood

US Tariff on Auto Parts Goes Into Effect – “A 25 percent tariff on imported automobile parts took effect on May 3, a significant step in President Donald Trump’s effort to reduce U.S. dependence on foreign supply chains and boost domestic manufacturing jobs. The new duties—authorized under a March 26 proclamation—apply to key components used in passenger vehicles and light trucks, including engines, transmissions, and electrical systems. The tariffs affect imports from all countries, although parts that meet U.S.–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) requirements were exempted in a bid to preserve the tightly interwoven North American auto supply chain.” – Tom Ozimek

Chinese-US Imports Being Diverted To Canada Amid Trade War – “Many Chinese exports bound for the U.S. have been rerouted to Canada to skirt tariffs as the trade war continues to escalate between the U.S. and many of its international partners, This means that, just like Europe which is facing a deflationary tsunami as Chinese dumping is unleashed on its now largest trading partner, Canadian consumers will soon have an abundance of discount goods as warehouse storage reaches its capacity. As much as 50% of consignments from China were diverted to Canada in mid-April as many industries look to stockpile their inventory north of the border instead of in the US.” – Tyler Durden
