THE BIG PICTURE

Crucifixion and Renaissance – Whether one believes in the deity of Jesus or not, whether one believes that Christ was resurrected on an April day 2000 years ago, or not, there is no disputing the magnificence of the “New Way” brought into being by the Nazarene. It toppled the Roman code in a relatively short time. And despite the corruption of its message by the institutions entrusted to promote it — alas, the fate of institutions is always one of perfidy — it has survived in many of us, skeptics, agnostics, atheists and believers, and it guides our approach to life.”” – New Zealand Doc  – VERY GOOD READ, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AND DESCRIBES THE SUFERING JESUS WENT THROUGH BECAUSE CRUCIFIXION WAS DESIGNED TO MAKE THE PERSON SUFFER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The System Being Built While the World Burns (VIDEO) – “Announced at Davos in January 2026, the carbon market platform EcoGuard automates the full carbon credit lifecycle. The carbon market is expected to reach $5 trillion by 2035. This infrastructure is designed to be “invisible and ubiquitous” — the goal is for every transaction, settlement, and data point to be managed behind the scenes so that the user is not aware of it. Also at Davos last January, Palantir CEO Alex Karp said that AI “will destroy humanities jobs,” and described a future in which high school students train for factory jobs, no one goes to college or immigrates, and black-box software run by major government contractors determines whether society is being run properly. For the more compliant, the so-called 15-minute city, smart city, and freedom city models are being built to incorporate digital ID, carbon tracking, and population monitoring. Where you live, how far you travel, and what your carbon footprint is are already being tracked in multiple countries and several US cities” – Greg Reese  – ANOTHER GOOD ONE FROM GREG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Seditious Global Censorship Project Tightens Its Noose – “That the assassination of Charlie Kirk might have been a shadow government operation is gaining traction in the hive mind. Some of Candace Owen’s suspicions are gaining serious adherents in that the curious are nailing down some of her assertions, scattered as they are, preposterous as some appear. The Egyptians, the Masons, the building in Delaware, what the what? I don’t know if Erika Kirk is an old fashioned MKUltra sex operative – they apparently specialized in creating them – but Kirk himself apparently, was entirely within her thrall, uxorious in the extreme. Until he wasn’t. She was a full-on partner at Turning Point, managed the donors, their money and put on events especially for them, and he was sent out as the face of the operation. On his last night, there is suspicion – given his actions and his texts to friends – that they were headed for a divorce as he planned to uncouple from his Chabady Jewish supremacist funders. Plus, very against the Iran war.” – Elizabeth Nickson

The Deep State Doesn’t Send Hitmen — It Sends Invoices. Until now… – “People imagine the deep state as shadow figures and black helicopters. That’s the movie version. The real version is a law firm’s billing system. The deep state’s most reliable weapon has never been secrecy. It’s been time — specifically, the billable hour. Every motion filed, every extension requested, every round of “further review” is another invoice. Another drain. Another reason to quit. You don’t need to defeat someone on the merits if you can exhaust them on process. The Parking Fight Is the Template.  It sounds small. That’s why it’s perfect. Most people assume they’re wrong when they get a ticket. The system counts on that assumption. The cost of fighting — time, process, confusion — exceeds the fine. So they pay. Multiplied by millions of citations a year, that’s a billion-dollar operation built entirely on the expectation of surrender. But once you understand the actual foundation — notice requirements, sign compliance, proper setup under federal standards — you start asking different questions. Those questions expose structural cracks that were always there. The system just depended on you never finding them. The parking fight is a microcosm of every fight against an institution that weaponizes process.” – Kerry Lutz

The ‘Anti-Cancer,’ Heart-Friendly Seed That Pharma Doesn’t Want You to Know About – “Flaxseed contains some of the most well-studied anti-cancer, cardioprotective compounds in all of nature.

NEWS

Trump & The Pentagon Will Collapse America Into Darkness – “Hegseth Firing 4 star Generals. There are varying reports regarding the number of generals and admirals Hegseth has fired, with numbers ranging between now 23 to 34. The reason is clear – Trump will only tolerate ‘Yes Men’ and Hegseth complies while depleting not just the highest ranks, but destabilizing war and troop strategies that will put thousands of lives in imminent danger. The idea of Marines on the ground is suicide. The idea that some two-bit former Fox News Host can fire a 4 star general is insanity! It is incredibly demeaning. The outcome should result in mutiny. It is like putting sailors on a ship with no captain or parachutists on a plane with no pilot.” – Helena Glass

Warrior USA – “This might be the most hilarious self-own ever: “Imagine an Iran that, instead of spending their wealth, billions of dollars, supporting terrorists or weapons, had spent that money helping the people of Iran,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said. “You’d have a much different country.” Yes, indeed, we’d have a much different America if the government wasn’t spending trillions of dollars buying weapons, supporting terrorists, and waging wars, but that’s not what corporate elites and wannabe warlords want.” – Bill Astore

Why the US Regime Pretends Israel’s Nuclear Weapons Don’t Exist – “It’s difficult to find much of anything we might call “good” coming out of the current US-Israel war against Iran. Yet, one positive development has been the fact that Israel’s deceitful practice of pretending it has no nuclear weapons program is now untenable. ” – Ryan McMaken

At The Mountains of Madness and Empire – “The Mad Emperor of the US Empire went on live television the other night and did the Dementia Dance. We saw this before during the four long, increasingly irrational and hysterical years of the Biden Administration. Trump just hasn’t deteriorated to slurring. Yet. We all know the drill. The President of the United States stands there and repeats one favorite trope after the other, in no particular order. All his old one-liners, jumbled up and spun in contradictory directions because the mind of the speaker is out to pasture, or maybe reminiscing about a rich pedophile’s hideaway. Donald Trump is not in charge. He’s a trapped and scared old man, unable to think as well as he could just a few years ago,The problem is, he is trapped by people who have the goods on him and they are even more insane than he. These people are called Zionists, and they are utterly mad, ” – Ohio Barbarian

We discuss the portrayal of the wars for survival in this region from Western outlets, the lack of cultural perspective and civilisational understanding with some of the conclusions being reached.” – BettBeat Media

Iran’s Oil Reserves & Foreign Aggression – “Much of world’s third largest reserve consists of Iranian Light crude, which is almost as valuable as West Texas Intermediate.” – John Leake

Netanyahu Boasts 70% Of Iran’s Steel Production Capacity Destroyed – “What has become clear is that Iran’s two largest producers – Khuzestan Steel Company and Mobarakeh Steel Company – have both been knocked offline after repeated US-Israeli strikes, with officials warning it could take months to restore operations, and that’s assuming this can be done even as the bombs still rain down. President Trump has meanwhile warned that Washington has yet to begin “destroying what’s left” of the Islamic Republic’s infrastructure. Major bridges have already been taken out, and even medical and pharmaceutical complexes, along with instances of deadly attacks on schools.” – Tyler Durden

How Likely Is It That The Gulf Kingdoms Diversify Their Export Routes After The War Ends? – “They now hate Iran for damaging their energy infrastructure and therefore don’t want to indefinitely pay it “petroyuan” as part of the “toll” system that the Islamic Republic is flirting with imposing.” – Andrew Korybko

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

What the US Embassy Attack in Baghdad Means for Preppers – “The Global Ripple Effect Why should a drone attack halfway around the world matter to your family’s preparedness plan? Because it proves that cheap, easily transportable, and concealable, mass-produced drones can successfully defeat multi-million-dollar defense systems. If state and state-funded actors can mass-produce $50,000 drones to overwhelm advanced security, they can target military bases, critical infrastructure, and shipping routes globally. This creates a chain reaction that directly impacts your daily life: When the seriousness of the world ramps up, the best response is calm, practical action. So, the focus should be on building resilient systems for your family. With that in mind, here is what you can do right now to prepare for these global shifts.” – Brian Duff

DIY 5-Gallon Bucket Gardening Stand – “While growing food in the ground is the traditional way to garden, it can be pretty frustrating. You have to deal with pests, disease, too much sun, too much rain, and sometimes even too much wind if a major storm blows through. Any of these can easily kill plants you’ve been nurturing for months. All of this is why bucket gardening has become so popular. You have more control over the soil, it’s easier to prevent pests and disease, and you can move them around if the weather isn’t ideal. To make them look even better and to use your space more efficiently, you can put them in a raised bucket garden stand.” – Heidi Hawthorn  – NICE STURDY STAND THAT ANYONE CAN BUILD, DEFINITELY BOOKMARKING OR PRINTING THIS ONE MYSELF!!!

11 Forgotten Methods to Preserve Food Without Power. #1 Will Surprise You! – “You probably have a freezer full of food right now. Maybe a chest freezer in the garage, a freeze dryer you’re proud of, and a pantry that took years to build. That setup is impressive, but it has one weakness that most preppers don’t like to think about: every single bit of it depends on the grid staying on. When the power goes out for a day, it’s an inconvenience. When it goes out for a week or longer, your stockpile starts a countdown you can’t stop.” – Olivia Brooks

VERSES FOR THE DAY

Matthew 27:57-61     When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple:  He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.  And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,  And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.  And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

THE BIG PICTURE

The Triumphant Yet Humble King – “The prophecy itself says much about what sort of King the coming Messiah would be: triumphant, victorious, and yet humble, riding on a colt, a foal, the young offspring of a donkey. For all the Messiah’s successes and glories, the prophecy indicates as King He would be on the same level as the people of Israel. With this imagery, the prophecy itself recalls the ancient Mosaic commandments for kings of Israel found in Deuteronomy: the king was to be from among the people of Israel, and no foreigner not of the nation of Israel was to rule; the king was to keep his own copy of the Law, and study it daily; the king was to remember he was as much under the Law as the rest of the people.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Who Controls Your Food… and Your Voice? The Rise of the Precautionary State – “How Risk Management Is Reshaping Freedom in Canada. Most Canadians are too busy living their lives to notice how quietly the rules around them are changing. They are working, raising families, running businesses, and trusting that the systems governing food production, property rights, and public safety exist mainly to protect them. But beneath the surface, a different model of governance has been steadily expanding. A system where authorities can intervene before wrongdoing is proven.” – Connie Shields  – A MUST READ FOR ALL CANADIANS AS WELL AS OTHERS!!!

They Want to Stop Lightning Now – “The real danger isn’t climate. It’s the belief we can control nature. There is a point where science stops asking questions and starts issuing commands. We are there. A Canadian startup now claims it can suppress lightning to prevent wildfires. The logic is simple and increasingly familiar. Lightning ignites fires. Fires release carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide contributes to climate change. Therefore, lightning itself has become a problem to solve. But that conclusion only makes sense if you accept a much deeper assumption. That natural systems are errors. And that we are capable of correcting them. This is not about lightning. It is about a fundamental shift in how nature is being framed.” – Dr. Matthew Wielicki

Geoengineering Watch Global Alert News, March 28, 2026 (VIDEO) – “Climate engineering / weather warfare operations are completely hindering the planet’s ability to respond to damage already done, if these operations are not fully exposed and halted, our days are numbered.” – Dane Wigington

Energy Lockdown: The Drumbeat Begins – “Six years later and nearly to the day, this new attempted lockdown seems to be going the same way, not concerning infectious disease but energy use. Isn’t it remarkable how the officially recommended methods of managing these completely different realms bear so much in common? They both come down to restricting your liberty, rationing your consumption, redirecting your attention, and shouting down critics.Suddenly, this institution called the International Energy Agency holds new prominence in world media. Founded in 1974, it’s an NGO associated with OPEC. It has no hard but only soft power – like the World Health Organization, with whom the IEA shares a similarly authoritative branding. There is a new Fauci too. The head of the IEA is highly decorated and universally praised Dr. Fatih Birol. Though he has never worked in industry, any more than Fauci had seen patients in decades,” – Brownstone Institute

Palm Sunday commemorates Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem and launches the Holy Week commemorations for Christians which culminates in Easter.” – Sundance

The Donroe Doctrine After Impact Phil Butler – “The internal transformation of power in the United States and the foreign policy decisions of the Trump administration are leading to a systemic weakening of American influence and an increase in global instability.” – Phil Butler

Geopolitics of the Third World War – “American hegemony or multipolarity. Many analysts are now advancing the hypothesis that the Third World War has already begun and that we are in its first stage. Whether this is so or not will become clear in the near future, but for now let us assume the validity of this hypothesis and attempt to survey its geopolitical contours. The essence of the Third World War lies in a radical transformation of the entire architecture of world politics. The international institutions that exist today have long ceased to correspond to the real state of affairs.” – Alexander Dugin

On The Failure Of Shock And Awe In Iran – “Russia also succumbed to the idea of the shock and awe doctrine. After the war with Georgia in 2008, the Russian military was restructured to carry out rapid and destructive military interventions. However, Russia was the first to stumble on this doctrine. In spring 2022, it faced a critical choice: Either fight a serious, bloody war of attrition or settle for a disgraceful peace. Moscow chose war, and the Ukraine conflict has now entered its fifth year. Trump now finds himself at a similar crossroads: Fight or to concede defeat. The problem is that the entire Western military-industrial complex has spent decades adapting to the shock and awe doctrine; NATO and the US possess unparalleled and exorbitantly expensive airstrike capabilities, but don’t have many other resources. If a targeted nation can withstand the initial air assaults, time will be on its side – unlike Russia, the West lacks the resources for a prolonged military campaign.” – Moon of Alabama

The Horror of Another Week In Washington -‘“Boots on the Ground” coming next but that’s not all.The past week has seen the usual mixture of developments flowing from the United States government that make one either want to laugh or cry. On the humor side, though with more than a bit of extreme disgust, there are the latest moves by the megalomaniac-in-chief in the White House to slap his name and picture all across the nation and even on maps depicting the rest of the world. His latest foray was to drop into an otherwise innocuous speech a suggestion that he might be renaming the much-in-the-news Strait of Hormuz after himself, suggesting he might be calling it the Strait of Trump after the US takes it away from the Iranians. ” – PhilipGiraldi

Essential US AWACS Plane Destroyed Amidst New Iranian Attacks, as US Continues Losing Critical Capability in Region – “USS Tripoli has finally arrived in the CENTCOM region, which presumably means somewhere in the northern Arabian Sea. Given that the Lincoln was said to have scurried away to a 1,000km distance, we can only assume the Tripoli will keep a similar range away from Iranian missiles while Trump continues to bide his time with his weak-handed bluffs. In the meantime, US losses have mounted in the region. Today came the following announcements: Saudi Arabian Prince Sultan Airbase was hit with many US KC-135s damaged and destroyed:” – Simplicius

FAILING TO DEFEAT HEZBOLLAH, ISRAEL & US PRESSURE SYRIA’S AHMED AL-SHARAA TO JOIN WAR – “penly declaring its intent to illegally occupy southern Lebanon, Israel finds itself in a costly ground battle with Hezbollah, from which there are indications Syria may soon be roped in. This is born from the understanding that in order to successfully weaken the Lebanese resistance, the Israeli military must penetrate the Bekaa Valley area. Understanding the costly price of attempting to physically take all of south Lebanon militarily, both Washington and Tel Aviv have been attempting to devise strategies that would help achieve Israel’s war goals of weakening Hezbollah. One possible option that has been placed on the table is the use of Syria’s military to invade Lebanon’s border and attack Hezbollah, aiming to go after what is labelled critical infrastructure belonging to the Lebanese group. According to reports, the US Trump administration has directly put pressure on Syrian leader Ahmed al-Shara’a to do just that.” – Robert Inlakesh

Jar Farming for Dummies – “After one month of dropping bombs and launching missiles at Iran, Trump has called for a time out. Month one, by and large, was nothing. The impacts to the average person were mainly limited to sticker shock at the gas pump. Brent crude briefly spiked above $120 a barrel, and everyone’s 401(k) took a modest nosedive. Month two, however, is when things really start to get serious. That’s when higher prices are met with physical shortages. The next 30 days are the real make or break moment for the global economy.” – MN Gordon

I’m Sorry, But The Fed Has Run Out Of Road – “There is no painless option left. It’s deflationary depression or crippling inflation. There is a special kind of denial that only financial markets can sustain. It is the quiet insistence that everything is fine because the S&P is only down about 10%, as if that number alone captures the health of an entire financial system. It is the belief that until equities are in full free fall, nothing truly serious can be happening underneath. But as we know, underneath, things are already starting to break. That is the part people are not fully appreciating.” – Quoth the Raven

US Dollar Demand Soars: Dedollarization Was a Fabrication of the Bull Market – ““De-dollarization” was a major market story in 2024 and 2025, not because it was true, but because it sounded plausible enough to scare people out of the most in-demand assets. The reality was much simpler. The US dollar remains the world’s global reserve currency because there is no fiat alternative.” – Daniel Lacalle  – DANIEL MAY BE RIGHT ON THAT POINT, BUT BESIDE OTHER FIAT CURRENCYM THERE’S ALWAYS GOD AND SILVER AND PERHAPS BITCOIN!!

This is what I have been warning would happen to housing for some time..I have repeatedly said that tokenization would be introduced to unlock the housing market because tokenization allows for “fractional ownership,” the ability to split assets into multiple pieces and digital contracts. Coinbase and Fannie Mae have just offered that. Moreover, the language used by Coinbase is the same language we have heard BlackRock CEO and World Economic Forum co-chair Larry Fink use to describe tokenization — the talk of updating the “plumbing” of the financial system and the so-called “new physics of money.” ” – The WinePress

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Empires Don’t Collapse From War Alone… They Finally Collapse When The Food Runs Out – “Now here’s the part that actually matters. Because while global systems may be fragile, individual households don’t have to be. In fact, this is where small, practical steps start to carry real weight. First, building a food buffer isn’t extreme—it’s historical common sense. Families that had reserves have always weathered disruptions better than those that didn’t. Then, reducing dependence on imported inputs becomes critical.” – Bill Heid

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK  (USED BEFORE)

I used to watch “Highway Patrol”
Whittlin’ with my knife
But the thought never struck me
I’d be black and white for life
I was raised on law and order
I a community of strife
Became a restless boarder
And I never took a wife.

I went lookin’ for Khaddafi
Aboard Air Force One
But I never did find him
And the C.I.A. said Son,
You’ll never be a hero
Your flyin’ days are done
It’s time for you to go home now
Stop sniffin’ that smokin’ gun.

I was travellin’ with my family
In the Mideast late one night
In the hotel all was quiet
The kids were out like little lights
Then the street was filled with jeeps
There was an explosion to the right
They chanted “Death to America”
I was feelin’ like a fight.

So I ran downstairs
And out into the street
Someone kicked me in the belly
Someone else kissed my feet
I was Rambo in the disco
I was shootin’ to the beat
When they burned me in effigy
My vacation was complete.

( Mideast Vacation by Neil Young )

THE BIG PICTURE

The Stealing of America: You’re Not a Citizen—You’re a Revenue Stream for the Power Elite – “You’re not imagining it. Everything costs more. Everything is monitored. Everything feels like it’s designed to take—from your wallet, your time, your freedom. That’s because it is. The government has turned everyday life into a revenue stream—funding endless wars, bloated agencies, surveillance systems, and profit-driven policing… all on your dime. You’re not just paying taxes. You’re paying to be watched. Paying to be policed. Paying to be controlled. This isn’t government. It’s a business model.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

While I was looking at this from multiple perspectives, and of course at the time, we were in the midst of the fake ’covid’ hoax, which was being used in much the same way as the so-called Iran war is being used today,” – Gary D.

Instantly. People, patterns, vehicles, routines—pulled up like you’re summoning a restaurant reservation. The issue isn’t that cameras exist. At this point, that ship has sailed, circled back, and installed three more cameras on itself. The issue is that once the system is in place—once everything is recorded, stored, and searchable—you don’t get to decide who ultimately accesses it.” – Jenna McCarthy  – YOUR CAMERA SPIES ON YOU, YOUR CAR CAN TOO AND EVEN YOUR APPLIANCES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Energy lockdowns Down Under? Calls for ‘Covid-style’ rules as fuel crisis escalates – “The spectre of lockdowns 2.0 looms as an Australian Premier has called for “Covid-style” rules to manage the escalating fuel crisis sparked by the war in Iran. New South Wales leader Chris Minns — whom Matt Taibbi once called “Australia’s biggest wanker” over his enthusiastic support for hate speech laws — yesterday said a “nationally consistent approach” was needed to implement measures such as fuel rationing and working from home.” – Rebekah Barnett

The Real Epstein Story: Eugenics, Cloning, Genetic Engineering, Transhumanism, and Directed Evolution What if Jeffrey Epstein’s darkest crimes weren’t the ones you’ve heard about—but the ones buried in “science”? We did the research, and the truth is almost unbelievable.- “Jeffrey Epstein was more than just a perverted Deep State operative; he was a critical player in some of the Insiders’ most horrific agendas. Buried within the millions of pages of Epstein documents released so far is evidence of something even darker and more monstrous than the crimes now starting to come to light.” – Alex Newman

The United States Of Apathy. Everyone Has Become Dead To Events And Anything Evil Around Them – “There have been so many times, so many days I seriously asked myself and asked God why I am doing all this labor to report on this stuff? To warn the people around me that could care absolutely less and are willfully ignorant to everything? I think that’s been probably the greatest burden and discouraging thing for me is witnessing how it seems no one around us cares.” – The WinePress  – I HAVE FELT THIS WAY A TIME OR TWO MYSELF WHILE DOING THIS WEBSITE. BUT I PERSEVERE!!!

NEWS

The End Of The Islamic Republic: Chaos Reigns – “Nobody Knows How This War Will End. Yesterday morning came the news that President Trump and the Iranians were “talking”, leading Trump to postpone any deliberate targeting of the Iranian power grid. Such has been the chaos of Operation Epic Fury over the past few days, whipsawing from the fallout of war, to major escalation, to possibly a chance for peace. How this war ends is not merely unknown, it is completely unknowable.” – Peter Nayland Kust

The US’ Attempted Capture Of Kharg Island Would Be The Ultimate Gamble – “The US will have lost the Third Gulf War if China can still rely on Iran as a reliable low-cost energy supplier while turning the yuan into a global reserve currency that challenges the petrodollar.” – Andrew Korybko

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise! The World Got Trumped Again! – “It would appear Iran’s counter-threat hit Trump in the rump like a Shahab-3 missile suppository. As soon as Trump saw that his big threat fell on deaf ears, he found a way to chicken out of his bluff today by telling the nation the US and Iran had held “productive” talks; therefore, he is going to delay destruction of Iran’s power plants for five days to see where the talks go.Iran didn’t let him get away with that face-saving move and called his claim of “productive” talks “fake news.” That didn’t matter, though, because Trump’s assurances had already achieved their purpose. This was a TACO Trade that worked to perfection. ” – David Haggith

TRUMP LIED – 2500 Marines and 3 Warships Heading to Kharg Island For Friday Arrival – ” Trump says he has brokered a cease fire for five days. Israel is bombing Iran’s infrastructure.

Echos of Gallipoli? Hormuz and the Geography of Hubris – “In a naval chokepoint, always bet on the shore over the ship. The lesson for any modern planner looking at Hormuz is not to doubt American firepower, but to respect the defender’s will, the terrain’s tyranny, and the multiplying effect of asymmetric technology. ” – Ashes of Pompeii

Strait Of Hormuz Closure Brings Empire To Brink – “In all, approximately 11% of global maritime trade passes through the Strait annually, accounting for 20% of the world’s total oil supply. Iran’s blockade, coupled with Resistance strikes on refineries throughout the region, will cause lasting chaos in energy markets and impact availability for years to come. Yet, despite a preponderant mainstream focus on the implications of the Strait’s closure for oil and gas, many vital commodities underpinning the operation of major industries worldwide also regularly transit through in substantial quantities. Approximately one third of the world’s seaborne fertilizer supply passes through the Strait every year. Many farmers are already operating without profit, and grave concerns about how long this can be sustained widely proliferate. ” – Kit Klarenberg

The Bull Market Is Over — And the MAG-7 Pulled the Trigger – “Put simply, this bull market was driven primarily by the MAG-7. And while much of this performance was driven by actual results, it’s critical to note the impact that investor enthusiasm played, particularly in regard to the MAG-7 build out of AI-infrastructure. As I noted earlier, MAG-7 profits roughly doubled between 2022 and 2025. However, MAG-7 share prices TRIPLED over the same period. This multiple expansion (when investors are willing to pay MORE for growth) was driven by investor enthusiasm for the potential of AI: the MAG-7 were and remain the key players engaged in the AI-infrastructure buildout.” – Graham Summers, MBA

Risk and Privilege – “As systemic risks rise, what matters is the thickness of one’s buffers against bad things happening. Those with wealth, power and privilege have sea walls, the rest of us have crumbling sand castles.” – Charles Hugh Smith

Collapsing COMEX Open Interest: Gold And Silver Price Analysis – “Betraying the notion that it is overrun by “speculators” and exacerbating the daily volatility, total contract open interest in COMEX gold and silver has collapsed to levels not seen in over a decade. What, if anything, does this signal for price in the short term? Of course, for now, the only thing that matters to price is the trend in the geopolitical headlines. As long as war and strife continue to dominate the narrative, precious metal prices look to remain pressured. The narrative is that higher energy costs will lead to inflation, higher interest rates, and a rising U.S. dollar. Those factors combine into a stew that has led to selling in gold and silver nearly every single day since the war began three weeks ago.” – Craig Hemke
