THE BIG PICTURE

We Choose To Follow Or To Not Follow – “We are our own worst enemy. That is a lesson I relearn fairly often. Sadly, it is a lesson I apparently never manage to learn completely. Almost without exception, every difficulty I have faced in life comes about at least in part because of some bit of stupidity on my behalf. I let my pride get ahead of my reason.” – Peter Nayland Kust

A Father Must Have a Code – “When it comes to the exercise of government power, real men are a constant threat. If they refuse to cover their faces with cheap paper masks, then COVID mandates fail. If they refuse to let boys beat up their daughters in competitive sports, then “transgender” delusions are relegated to the psych ward. If they refuse to allow government welfare programs to play “daddy” to their families, then Marxist Democrats can’t turn children against their parents. If they refuse to bow down to the strictures of “political correctness,” then critical thinking skills are passed from one generation to the next.That code doesn’t come from the government or some contingent of “woke” culture police. It comes from deep inside the men who operate as individuals with purpose. They are not merely shaped in this world; they are characters who shape their world..” – J.B. Shurk –

True Promise 3: Iran Responds With Long-Awaited Hypersonic Retaliation – “Iran launched the next stage of their True Promise 3.0 operation, targeting various sites of Israeli energy and military infrastructure. This time it reportedly included the latest Fattah-1 hypersonic missiles, which made quite the dazzling impact all over Tel Aviv and northern Israel—a sight so spectacular it is rivaled only by last year’s Oreshnik strikes:” – Simplicius

It is only by those same efforts by those same terrible people that we continue along this horrifying trajectory instead of taking the final off-ramp.” – Caitlin Johnstone

Where Are Iran’s Allies? – “Plenty Of Words But No Actions. Iran and Israel are at war. After the past 48 hours, there is no question about that. Nor is there any doubt about who sides with Israel in this war: The United States. There is, however, plenty of doubt about who sides with Iran. While several nations are willing to verbally condemn Israel, even Iran’s presumably closest allies, Putin’s Russia and Xi Jinping’s China, have only offered words. When it comes to actually fighting a war with Israel, Iran right now stands very much alone.” – Peter Nayland Kust  – PERHAPS THEY HAVE MORE COMMON SENSE AND ARE NOT IN A HURRY TO START WWIII, UNLIKE SOME OTHER WARMONGER COUNTRIES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Geopolitical Fallout: China and Russia React to Middle East Conflagration – “Given Iran’s accession to the burgeoning alternative to the neoliberal order of the West, BRICS, in January of last year, it comes as no surprise that the two juggernauts of that group, Russia and China, have expressed indignation that their staunchest ally in the Middle East faces, perhaps, existential peril. All said, it’s unclear to what lengths nuclear-armed Russia or China would be willing to go to defend what it sees as its interest in maintaining the current Iranian regime.

IMAGE FOR THE DAY

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK 

There’s colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shuffling their feet
People sleeping in their shoes
But there’s a warning sign
On the road ahead
There’s a lot of people saying
We’d be better off dead
Don’t feel like Satan
But I am to them
So I try to forget it
Any way I can

Keep on rocking in the free world
Keep on rocking in the free world
Keep on rocking in the free world
Keep on rocking in the free world

I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away
And she’s gone to get a hit
She hates her life
And what she’s done to it
There’s one more kid
That will never go to school
Never get to fall in love
Never get to be cool

Keep on rocking in the free world
Keep on rocking in the free world
Keep on rocking in the free world
Keep on rocking in the free world

We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler
Machine-gun hand
We got department stores
And toilet paper
Got Styrofoam boxes
For the ozone layer
Got a man of the people
Says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn
Got roads to drive

Keep on rocking in the free world
Keep on rocking in the free world
Keep on rocking in the free world
Keep on rocking in the free world

THE BIG PICTURE

War is Peace – “Israel – the state of Israel, more finely – has attacked the country of Iran. The distinction is important. Iranians have been killed by the state of Israel. Shall they not revenge? That is understood. What has been accepted by many people is that starting wars is all-of-a-sudden not a war crime. It is very interesting to note here that the leadership of National Socialist Germany – what remained of it – was charged with and convicted of exactly that. And were hanged. Here we are – 80 years later – and it is regarded with indifference (if not cheering support) when a state – the state of Israel – attacks another country, which is an act of war. The leadership of the state of Israel will of course exclaim with high unction that it was merely defending itself. Orwell, phone home. 80 years ago, that did not fly – when the German National Socialists exclaimed the same.” – Eric Peters

Impervious to Suffering – “I keep hearing from the sheep-types that they really don’t care if we lose all of our freedoms. They don’t care about losing privacy because they don’t have anything to hide, they don’t care about losing free speech because people should be punished for saying bad and/or dangerous things (and they have nothing to say that would be considered bad and/or dangerous). They have no fear of the government getting too much control because there will never be a reason the government would want or need to control them. They don’t fear communism or fascism primarily because they don’t know what those two ideologies clearly mean, and besides, that would never happen in a free society—which they are ready to give up anyway.Don’t they know? Don’t they know that when the control over the masses surely does take effect it won’t matter a tinker’s damn if they “have nothing to hide” or “don’t do anything bad.” Oppression comes in many flavours, and its primary purpose is not to punish wrongdoing, but rather to keep people, in a very general way, compliant and under control. ” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP  – GOOD READ FROM TODD AS USUAL!!!

Slouching Toward Authoritarianism? – “The deployment of California National Guard troops and active-duty U.S. Marines onto the streets of Los Angeles is an assault on federalism, violates federal law and manifests a dangerous pattern of governmental behavior in defiance of constitutional principles and the rule of law.” – Judge Andrew P. Napolitano

The U.S. and Israel Now Lead the World in Espionage and Terrorism Powered by Big Tech – Brian Shilhavy

APPALLING: Suicide crisis hotline encouraged disabled Canadian woman to end her life – “Many Canadians have testified that MAID has been suggested to them as an option when they were seeking financial help, mental help, or even assistance for a disability.” – Cassy Cooke

NEWS

Manhunt on for shooter in Rep. Melissa Hortman assassination – “Authorities said suspect impersonated a police officer, and a “manifesto” was recovered with a list of lawmaker names. Minnesota House Democratic leader Melissa Hortman and her husband were fatally shot in their Brooklyn Park home, and state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife survived the assassin’s attack at their home in Champlin, in what Gov. Tim Walz said appeared to be a targeted act of political violence. A manhunt is underway for a suspect who impersonated law enforcement.” – Minnesota Star Tribune  – AND OF COURSE THERE WAS A MANIFESTO. FUNNY HOW ALL SHOOTINGS SEEM TO HAVE A MANIFESTO NOW!!!

Update: ‘No Kings’ Protest Flyers Found in Car of Minnesota Assassin, Shooter Allegedly Identified – ” it is important to note that the above identity has not been officially confirmed by law enforcement. We simply do not know if this report is correct or not yet. The alleged shooter’s relationship with Walz is also a bit hazy. Were they friends? What was the shooter’s political background? For added context, it’s been reported that Walz was on the shooter’s target list. Right now, the most important thing is catching this guy and ensuring he can’t kill anyone else.” – Bonchie

Cities prepare for ‘No Kings’ rallies nationwide as Marines arrive in Los Angeles – “There are expected to be over 2,000 protests in all 50 states Saturday, and local police say they will protect those who assemble peacefully. In Los Angeles on Friday, the first 200 U.S. Marines out of a battalion of 700 arrived, joining National Guard troops already deployed to the city by the Trump administration. At 12 p.m. local time, they went on duty patrolling outside the Wilshire Federal Building in the city’s Civic Center.” – Oliver O’Connell, James Liddell and Rachel Dobkin

China Joins Russia In Condemning Israel’s Attacks On Iran – Tyler Durden

Israel doesn’t go rogue – it goes with Pentagon’s green light – “Washington, the world’s greatest bully, has enabled the attack on Iran by writing a blank check to the aggressor ” -Tarik Cyril Amar

US quietly sent hundreds of Hellfire missiles to Israel before Iran attack – “Hellfire missiles would have been used for precision strikes by Israel during Iran attack, US officials say. The transfer of such a large quantity of Hellfires suggests that the Trump administration was well-informed of Israel’s plans to attack the Islamic Republic of Iran, two US officials told MEE on the condition of anonymity.” – Sean Mathews

Did Trump Really Deceive Iran With Duplicitous Diplomacy? – Andrew Korybko

Lies Used To Justify War On Iraq Get Reused To Wage War On Iran – “David Ignatius, the unofficial CIA spokesman at the Washington Post, was told to publish this nonsense. According to former U.S. counterterrorism officials, Tehran has built good relations with the new “de facto” al-Qaeda “emir,” Saif al-Adel, who took over in 2023 after Ayman al-Zawahiri was killed. These former officials say Adel helped manage WMD planning for Osama bin Laden. Who would be those “former U.S. counterterrorism officials”? Mike Pompeo, John Bolton, or some other notorious liars?” – Moon of Alabama

Hidden History: How Israel Acquired Nukes – ” Benjamin Netanyahu has for decades declared almost annually Iran is mere years away from becoming a nuclear power, urging military action as a result. The longtime Israeli leader’s anxieties are sickly ironic, given Tel Aviv’s own nuclear weapons program is the worst kept ‘secret’ in international affairs.” – Kit Klarenberg

Mostly Peaceful Army of the Status Quo – “It’s surrealistic to watch the burning cars and buildings, amid all the Mexican flags waving proudly in the smog, juxtaposed against the smiling multi-millionaire “journalists” assuring us that this is a “mostly peaceful” situation. I’ve seen several mostly peaceful men in masks throwing rocks at passing motorists. What else says “open borders” more clearly than that?” – Donald Jeffries

Our Fiery but Mostly Peaceful Foreign Invasion – “We all knew that this was coming. When voters came out in force last November to make sure that President Trump’s margin of victory exceeded Democrats’ systemic fraud, it was obvious what would happen next. Democrats would do what Marxist globalists and Western Intelligence agencies have been doing across the world for many years: instigate riots, mayhem, sabotage, and general rebellion. As any thinking person now understands, whenever the powers that be don’t get the election results they want, they just foment revolution and work to overturn the will of the people” – J.B. Shurk

Independent Media Crushes the Summer of Hate Under Its Heel – “How are you enjoying the kick-off to the Summer of Hate? Of course this is not an entirely fresh beast slouching towards us, shrieking and rattling its chains. It’s a slapped together amalgam of ugly on the hoof. And we are paying for it, every cent is tax receipts exempted from billionaires tax bill or from the government direct or from NGO’s via more tax-exempt funds, the Catholic Church who we fund, from the absolute heist of government money by the Muslim Brotherhood for the past 40 years. From cartel money stolen from our vulnerable via drug and child trafficking. From more donations to BLM, to Antifa by the loons. Every dirty cent was meant for public betterment. Instead it is funding our destruction. From the Walmart family no less; this idiot woman is funding the destruction of working class neighborhoods lived in by people of color. Keep those wages low, hey Christy? Nothing like a little competition from the undocumented who will do anything. Walmart punching down is not a good look despite the annoying grin.” – Elizabeth Nickson

Democratic Billionaire Pushes “No Kings Day” Protests – “What pawns. The sheep are being led by none other than Christy Walton, who is sponsoring numerous ads for the “No Kings” movement, including a full-page ad in the New York Times. That’s right—Walton, as in one of the billionaire Walmart heiresses. Christy Walton, the widow of John T. Walton, was worth an estimated $41.7 billion at one time and could never sympathize with the average American or migrant. Her fortune wields power, and she’s using it to manipulate people into believing they’re supporting a grassroots, virtuous cause. Walton is merely using her money to mobilize the minions to do her bidding.” – Martin Armstrong  – AS JUDGE NAPOLITANO NOTES ABOVE IN HIS ARTICLE. PEOPLE DO HAVE THE RIGHT TO PROTEST WHETHER YOU AGREE WITH THEIR POSITION OR NOT. THIS DOESN’T NECESSARILY MEAN SHE IS PROMOTING ANY OF THE VIOLENCE. HER MOTIVES, HOWEVER, MAY BE MORE THAN WHAT SHE IS SAYING!!!

THE BIG PICTURE

And So It Begins – “Call it whatever you want–how about the Great Unraveling for starters–and perhaps it’s appropriate to discuss it on Friday the 13th, as old tales and superstitions are part of the mix.” – Charles Hugh Smith

(STAGED). A NEW WAR TO DISTRACT THE WORLD. (VIDEO) – ” It’s the same playbook over and over and over again and people if any of you out here who follow this blog didn’t see this coming, well you know then you’ve been lost, Babylon playing the same tired script again, again, again. Many are blind. Remember the pattern. First, financial cracks (stock volatility, debt stress). Then, propaganda surge (media beating war drums). Then, a shock event (false flag or real provoked war). Finally, tighten the control grid (financial lock-up, digital fiat rollout, censorship, martial measures).”- Gregory Mannarino  – GREG ON THE BIGGER PICTURE WHICH OF COURSE INCLUDES THE ECONOMY AS WELL!!!!!!!!!!

Kennedy appoints Robert Malone to new Vaccine Advisory Committee—really? – Jon Rappoport

About that myocarditis warning that the good-FDA slapped on Pfizer jab… – “Urging for removal of mRNA shots from market qualifies as a hate group, in the newly appointed ACIP committee member’s opinion. Well, duh, of course that would be the case if one holds patents for mRNA and has financial interest in several pharmaceutical companies and military industrial complex. Malone is the CEO of RW Malone MD, LLC, a consulting firm; the specific clients are not detailed but the firm is stated to have “yielded clients billions of dollars”. His past industry roles include CMO at Alchem Laboratories, CEO of Atheric Pharmaceutical, and Director of Clinical Development at Solvay Pharmaceuticals (now Abbvie). But these are “good” conflicts of interest, you see, not the “bad” ones, like in those other ACIP members that got fired. God help us all when our DARPA/DTRA man is in charge of vaccine recommendations! ” – Sasha Latypova

Through The Madness We Must Go – Nuke Biolab in South Korea – Middle Eastern Madness Grows – Dr. Sircus

AI Control of the US Military (VIDEO) – “Following orders will no longer be a concern. In the military, a “kill chain” refers to the sequential process of finding, fixing, tracking, targeting, engaging, and assessing a target. And the US military war machine has found that humans are not as willing to kill as much as they’d like them to. After World War II, studies conducted by Brigadier General S.L.A. Marshall showed that only 20% of U.S. infantrymen fired their weapons at the enemy, even when under direct threat. He attributed this to an innate human resistance to killing. It is for these reasons that the IDF, with the help of the US military and Palantir, have been utilizing Artificial Intelligence on the battlefield. Destroying an entire building to kill one person may seem extreme for a human, but not for AI.” – Greg Reese

NEWS ( LOT OF TAKES ON THE ISRAEL BOMBINGS )

BREAKING: ISRAEL ATTACKS IRAN IN “OPERATION RISING LION” – “Crossing a “point of no return,” Israel has launched a full attack on Iran’s nuclear and military facilities, pledging there will be no nuclear possibilities left when it is done” – .David Haggith

The whole planet is being kept hostage by a death cult – “It’s no wonder Washington is all in. This is now the Circus Ringmaster War.” – Pepe Escobar

US-Israeli Deception Gave Iran False Security Amid Washington Green Light – “Fresh reporting as well as new Friday statements by President Trump reveal that the US and Israel practiced deceptive diplomacy, as Israeli and American officials worked together to convince Iran that nuclear negotiations were progressing. Yet all the while an elaborate Israel attack on Iranian nuclear sites was being planned, and Tehran was given a false sense of security, and ill-prepared for its defense.” – Tyler Durden – SO MUCH FOR TRUMP BEING A MAN OF PEACE!!!!

Will War Be the Hallmark of the Trump Administration? – Paul Craig Roberts

SPECIAL BULLETIN: Israel Launches Major Strikes on Iran – “The Israeli rogue state added another of its neighbors to the long list of regional nations it is currently bombing. From Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, international waters, and now Iran—Israel now bombs them all with impunity while crying out about its own ‘security’. The attacks are reportedly just the first stage of a long wave of aggression that will span days or weeks according to announcements from top officials:” – Simplicius

Operation Rising Lion: Israel Attacks Iran (VIDEO) – “Israel bombed Tehran and Natanz, assassinating the leader of IRGC Major General Hossein Salami. It also attacked Iran’s nuclear enrichment program and also its ballistic missile program.” – Makia Freeman

Five Questions Surrounding Israel’s Unprecedented Strikes On Iran – Andrew Korybko – GOOD QUESTIONS FROM ANDREW AND GOOD CIVIL COMMENTS!!!!!!

Memo from Iran: WE ARE READY – “Washington’s Perennial Policy Towards Iran: Hector, Belittle, Bully, Repeat” – Mike Whitney

Let’s talk about…Israel’s Iran Strikes – “It’s hard to see what the point of the bombing – nicknamed Operation Rising Lion – could possibly be, aside from escalation for escalations sake. On the US side, Donald Trump and Marco Rubio have both claimed they knew about the strikes but that they were a “unilateral decision” by Israel, and the US was not involved.” – Off Guardian

And So It Begins: Leftist Monkey Wrenching Is Leading To Civil War – “If you thought that the leftist delusions of grandeur had finally hit their peak you are about to be unpleasantly surprised. There are no limits to the insanity that progressives will embrace in their pursuit of power, and they continue to adhere to the fantasy that they are the “good guys” despite the fact that most of the world has been telling them for the past several years that their ideology is repugnant. The events in Los Angeles are just the beginning and the path this situation will take is relatively predictable. There is a large enough percentage of the US population (around 25% to 30%) that is inexorably rooted in the ideologies of Marxism and multiculturalism. Many of them might not even understand what they’re supporting, but they’ll still do what they’re told by their gatekeepers.” – Brandon Smith

Gun-grabbing leftists go nuts on lies about ‘silencers – “You can always depend on certain aspects of life: the sun coming up in the morning and setting in the evening, and leftists exploiting lies and blatant fear-mongering to keep a grip on power. It should be no surprise that the gun-grabber ghouls are going apoplectic over the removal of taxation and deregulation of firearm suppressors, because they are forever in love with the twin evils of taxing and regulating commonsense human rights to hold power over the people.” – D. Parker

MAGA Influencer Calls to Deploy Palantir on LA Streets – “Less than six months ago, Loomer viciously condemned Palantir’s CEO, Alex Karp, as a “career leftist” who “thrives off of conflict and war as a business model.” In 2023, she exposed Karp for bragging that Palantir “single handedly stopped the rise of the far right in Europe,” likely in reference to Germany’s AFD and similar parties across the EU. So, what happened to Laura? Why the sudden change of heart? The federal government recently dramatically expanded its partnership with the surveillance behemoth to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts across multiple agencies.” – Ben Bartee  – SHE CHANGED HER TUNE BECAUSE THIEL IS BUDDY, BUDDY WITH TRUMP!!!

Reflections from the Heart of the Empire: All the Wrong Moves – Ohio Barbarian  – EARLY WEEKLY RECAP FROM THE BARBARIAN!!!

Is Putin really Hitler? – “Part of the propaganda messaging the neocons love to repeat ad nauseam is that Russia is the new Nazi Germany and Putin is the modern Hitler. It makes good TV but what’s the evidence for this?” – Leo Hohmann

TACO Trump Backs Down on Farm and Hotel Worker Deportations – “Trump is suddenly worried about “impossible to replace hotel workers”.” – Mish

How Mass Migration Creates Labor Shortages – “For starters, there’s a world of difference between legal immigrants. Who may vote socialist but at least commit very little crime, start businesses, and tend to move up the economic ladder. Versus illegal immigrants, who by definition wouldn’t have passed our already generous immigration standards. Because we already have plenty of low-skill workers — there is no shortage, in fact we have government make-work programs for low-skill Americans. Yet low-skill migrants actually *import* an identical shortage of high-skilled jobs. To see why, if you import a million low-skill migrants, you now have too many farm laborers or janitors — the wages drop. But you’ve got a precisely identical new shortage in the high-skill workers who serve the farm workers and janitors — doctors, dentists, teachers.” – Peter St Onge

If you boys feel froggy, then jump – “I’m not a warmonger. I’ve seen and learned enough to know that war is not desirable. I’m also realistic enough to know that sometimes, war is inevitable if you’re to maintain any strength as a nation. The president of Mexico literally called for zero tax on remittances to her country. Why? Because she wants more of the money and screw the US. Now they’re suggesting they have an actual claim on land they held as a nation for a quarter of a century while we’ve had it for many times as many years, and they don’t think we can or will do anything about it, that we should have to put up with illegal immigrants because they lost a war. Screw. That.” – Tom Knighton

 

 

 

ECONOMIC NEWS

The CAPE Crusader Unveils a Bubble – “From our perspective, this isn’t a genuine recovery. Clearly, it’s not being driven by strong economic fundamentals. In fact, it’s not a new bull market at all. It’s the same old bull market that’s rising on a tide of ever-increasing debt. The prospect of Fed rate cuts is adding more fuel to the fire. President Trump is aggressively lobbying Fed Chair Jerome Powell to cut interest rates by a full percentage. He wants Rocket Fuel! Rising stock prices in the face of deteriorating economic fundamentals is the best kind of bull market. It rewards mindless risk takers and punishes prudent pragmatism. The risks, however, should be appreciated. The popular financial services industry wants you to believe the party in the stock market can go on forever. ” – MN Gordon

Is It Trump? Or Just Luck? – “Inflation May Rise But Only Very Slightly” – Peter Nayland Kust

Dollar down, gold up – “The dollar’s trade weighted index just hit multi-year lows. To make things worse, Israel attacked Iran overnight, escalating ME tensions. Comex gold is waking up to the implications Last week, it was silver. This week it is gold. In European trade this morning, gold was $3416 having hit a high of $3443 in Asia overnight, up $112 on last Friday’s close. Silver was $36.25, below its Monday high of $36.88, up 23 cents on balance over the same timeframe. That leaves the gold-silver ratio at 94. We have seen the remarkable dichotomy of gold close to all-time highs while open interest on Comex has indicated that futures remain oversold. That is beginning to correct as the next chart shows, but this contract is still in oversold territory:” – Alasdair Macleod

THE BIG PICTURE

While multiple factors — including parasitic varroa mites, viruses, and habitat loss—are under investigation, pesticides remain a critical concern” – Cassie B.  – IMAGINE THAT!!!!!

More Crap on Statin Drugs – “What’s worse, this “gold standard” of dual-drug therapy does nothing to address the cause of cardiovascular disease—it merely numbs the metrics while the fire burns on beneath the surface. Statins and ezetimibe do not touch the deeper pathology. They do not reduce arterial stiffness, restore endothelial function, or regenerate heart tissue. They suppress, silence, mask, and damage.” – Dr. Sircus

Reject The Treaty – “DEAR WORLD, PLEASE WAKE UP. It’s crunch time, but nearly everyone has been lulled into complacency. In less than two months the 78th World Health Assembly is VERY likely to adopt the Pandemic Treaty” – .James Roguski

Bedlam, Pending – “You understand, all these lawsuit shenanigans with select federal judges from Woke-crazed districts like Boston, San Francisco, Rhode Island, and the DC Beltway are aimed at provoking a second civil war. The objective is to burden Mr. Trump with so many restrictions on the executive that the country can’t be governed without declaring a national emergency. This is the Democratic Party’s desperate strategy to stay alive: to preserve the flow of taxpayer money to its minions stuffed into the organs of government like cancer cells, and the vast network of NGOs that employ its agents and spread its sickness. The Democratic Party is a malignancy within the republic and the money is the blood-flow that feeds it. The Democratic Party controls the major organs of information: The New York Times, CNN, Hollywood. They are the conveyers of lies, bamboozling the body politic to divide and conquer it. The Democratic party is a bad faith legion enlisted to defend the Father-of-Lies, America’s Deep State (a.k.a. the blob). ” – James Howard Kunstler

From Profanity-Chic to Terrorist-Porn – “Democrats, reeling from electoral losses, embrace profanity-laced rhetoric, street-theater activism, and veiled support for political violence, alienating voters and hastening their own decline.” – Victor Davis Hanson

A Denial of Will – “A denial of Trump’s agenda is a denial of the will of the people. The inability, or unwillingness, of the state governments to operate a faithful and accurate election is a denial of the will of the people. The act of being elected to pursue certain goals and abandoning those quests in favor of the preference of a donor or donors is a denial of the will of the people. All of these tactics, and more, are currently being used to silence a vast majority of citizens, to keep their will from being done.” – T.L. Davis

‘Signal Gate’ Is Far Worse Than People Realize – “Most of Washington is focusing on a reckless communications snafu. The real crime is far worse. What I find far more interesting is the bombshell in the Signal chats that people are not talking: the reckless disregard of civilian lives in the Pentagon’s effort to take out a single Houthi rebel. Below is a transcript of the exchange between Waltz, Hegseth, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and Vice President J.D. Vance.” – Jon Miltimore

Will Trump Pull the Self-Suicide Trigger? – “:As Trump Enters the Fray in the War to Expand Israel and Overthrow Iran, His Domestic War on the Home Front Aimed at Outlawing Criticism of Israel is Also Intensifying.” – Anthony James Hall

British PM Pledges to Ban ‘Ninja Swords’ By Summer to Curb Crime (By Migrants) – “What an interesting ancillary benefit of mass migration Kier Starmer has invented for himself — an excuse to further disarm the British people in the name of fighting mass stabbings, thereby furthering the terror they live under as, one by one, their means of self-defense are stripped away along with every other fundamental right formerly recognized in the West. The migrants currently colonizing Britain, obviously, can be expected to follow the new ban as they are infamously law-abiding individuals with a deep respect for rule of law.” – Ben Bartee

Futures Slide, Gold Soars Ahead Of Inflation Data Amid Tariff Turmoil – Tyler Durden

Why do Boomers Own Everything? – ” Last week Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reported that the top 10% of Americans account for half of consumption — a new record. This 10% is, of course, overwhelmingly Baby Boomers. Who’ve spent the past 50 years having their assets pumped by the Federal Reserve while voting for big government that knocks the first rungs out of the career ladder for the young. The end result is Boomers relaxing in vacation chalets while for the young wages are flat, prices are up, and buying a house or starting a family is a pipe-dream. Instead, they lurk in Mom’s basement fantasizing about the revolution.” – Peter St Onge

7 “Safe” US States That Might Soon Be a Target – “States like Montana, North Dakota, Missouri, Arizona, and Idaho are generally considered to be very safe places to live. On paper, they have a modest population density, they don’t tend to be hit by too many major disasters. Since the end of the Cold War, their threat index from attacks by foreign powers seems to have gone down. Yet these five states, and a few others could become a target for future disasters. If you live in one of the following states, or you’re thinking about moving to one, it might help to take a hard look at how they might soon become a target. Always think about the safety of your family and those close to you.” – Eric Beuning
