THE BIG PICTURE

The Real National Emergency: Endless Wars, Failing Infrastructure, and a Dying Republic – “Seventy years after President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned about the cost of a military-industrial complex, America is still stealing from its own people to fund a global empire. This isn’t about national defense. This is empire maintenance. It’s about preserving a military-industrial complex that profits from endless war, global policing, and foreign occupations—while the nation’s infrastructure rots and its people are neglected. The United States has spent much of the past half-century policing the globe, occupying other countries, and waging endless wars. What most Americans fail to recognize is that these ongoing wars have little to do with keeping the country safe and everything to do with propping up a military-industrial complex that has its sights set on world domination. War has become a huge money-making venture, and the U.S. government, with its vast military empire, is one of its best buyers and sellers.’ – John & Nisha Whitehead

It’s Not a Broken System: From Food to Development, It’s a Masterpiece of Control – “Industrial agriculture is not a system in crisis. It is a system in command. Engineered with precision, it reflects the civilisational logic of industrial modernity: domination over cooperation, profit over sufficiency, scale over ecology. It is not malfunctioning—it is functioning exactly as designed. ” – Colin Todhunter

How the Covid lockdowns proved we are dead as a species – “There’s no way out. When the world shut down in early 2020, we witnessed a gargantuan level of economic disruption. Streets emptied, businesses closed, and millions lost their jobs almost overnight. Fear was balanced by hope. Unfortunately hope was then decapitated by reality. I finally saw what was really behind the curtain. It was not pretty.” – Sarah Connor

The Iran Trap: Everyone Wants Americans To Fight Their Wars For Them – “One of the defining aspects of Ukraine’s strategy in the war against Russia is escalation – Not so much in terms of damage to Russia, but in terms of western involvement. Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky has made it his primary mission to convince western allies that their direct intervention in the war is absolutely necessary. Why? He asserts that Ukraine is the “guardian at the gate” supposedly preventing Russia from steamrolling through Europe. The claim is absurd for a few reasons.” – Brandon Smith

Nuclear War Ala Mode? – “Trump and Netanyahu conspire to destroy Iran” – Philip Giraldi

Is Donald Trump Considering Tactical Nukes Against Iran? What We Know – “The Trump administration has not taken anything “off the table,” including the use of tactical nuclear weapons, if it decides to take military action against the underground Iranian nuclear facility at Fordow, Fox News reported, citing a White House official. Experts have suggested Israel doesn’t have any conventional bombs capable of destroying the site, though on Thursday Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that “we have the capability” to “hit all of their nuclear facilities.” Unlike Israel, the U.S. possesses 30,000-pound GBU-57s “bunker buster” bombs that are specifically designed to reach targets buried deep beneath the surface and can be deployed by B-2 Spirit heavy bombers.” – James Bickerton

Bombing Hospitals Is Bad Again – “Western media outlets like the BBC and New York Times have suddenly remembered how to write headlines which assign blame to the attacker after deciding that hospitals getting bombed is a newsworthy event again.” – Caitlin Johnstone

Senator Ted Cruz, the “Leading Defender of Israel in the U.S.” Tells Tucker Carlson Why we Should Attack Iran – “This video is just short of 7 minutes, and if you want to understand the mindset of a Zionist, especially one in such a position of power as U.S. Senator Ted Cruz from Texas, then this is a video you are going to want to watch.” – Brian Shilhavy

An important geography lesson concerning a war with Iran – “The neocons are now proposing that we can defeat Iran with air power alone. Okay, maybe it will require American airpower. A few Bunker Busters and it will be all wrapped up. Air power alone will bring victory. This has never happened before, so let’s just say that despite their optimistic forecast, we do ultimately have to put “boots on the ground” to force a final Iranian defeat. Time for a brief comparative geography lesson related to just how many boots might be needed, if Iran doesn’t surrender after we shock and awe them with our air power. How did our experiences in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan turn out? Are you willing to repeat them at 5X scale?” – Matthew Bracken  – GOOD ANALYSIS FROM MATT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Israel’s war on Iran is not about nuclear weapons – “It is, and has always been, about regime change and breaking the Axis of Resistance” – Robert Inlakesh

A Brief History of Israel and Iran (VIDEO) – “From it’s inception, Israel began the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians living on the land given to them by the British Crown. The new Israelis used biological warfare by poisoning village wells, which was considered a war crime, but ignored. In the early 1970s, Israel supplied weapons and intelligence to aid South Africa’s apartheid movement, in return for weapons grade uranium. Meanwhile, British imperialism has been infiltrating Persia for over a century. Iranian leadership had all the appearances of being vassals to the British Crown, until 1951, when Iran elected Mohammad Mossadegh as prime minister and voted to nationalize their oil. Time magazine called him “the Iranian George Washington,” and, “Man of the Year,” but the British view was that Iran had just “stolen” their biggest oil source. They organized an international boycott and began seizing tankers carrying Iranian oil. With the help of Allen Dulles and the CIA, British Intelligence ran “Operation Ajax.” Mohammad Reza Shah was taken into protective custody by British Intelligence and received cash from the CIA. After Mossadegh was overthrown in 1953, Mohammad Reza Shah was returned to Iran and put back in power, where he began forming alliances with Israeli businesses and the US military.” – Greg Reese

Slave Labor Won’t Save America – “In other words, when commie Mayor Bass tells CNN that America’s economy runs on illegal immigration, she is nonchalantly informing the network’s declining viewership that breaking the law is the only way for “entire sectors” to survive. Her admission won’t shock most Americans, but it should. Black markets are economic transactions that disregard existing law. In absolute dollar terms, the U.S. supports the second largest shadow economy in the world. It’s estimated to be worth at least $1.4 trillion each year.” – J.B. Shurk

Fed Holds Rates Steady as Inflation Persists, Gold Climbs Higher – Peter Schiffr

Rate Cuts? Uh, No – “The Fed press conference was nauseating. Prices continue to go up and yet everyone keeps basically dogging Powell on cutting rates which will make the problem worse. Where did the public, and media, get the idea that short rates in the mid 4% range are “high”? They’re not; and more to the point they still provide no time value against the rate of inflation. The problem is as noted by CNBC the other day in an article called “Most can no longer afford a minimal quality of life.” Not a few, not the bottom 10%, most.” – Karl Denninger

Will The Hawks, The Doves, Or The Cuckoos Win – Michael Every

The bear squeeze pauses despite war drums beating – “The shorts on Comex took the day off yesterday, being the Juneteenth National Independence Day. But their problems continue nevertheless… In European trade this morning, gold was $3350, down $85 from last Friday, while silver was $36.00, down 30 cents after a high of $37.31 on Tuesday. Yesterday was a US public holiday, so Comex dealing later today should be quiet. And it was interesting that in the absence of US dealing, gold and silver declined.” – Alasdair Macleod

Why Prices Never go Down – “In short, no. Prices will never durably fall until we get rid of the Federal Reserve. Because deflation — falling prices — is the #1 thing the Fed fears. Not unemployment. Not recession. Not nuclear war. This comes from that core propaganda that created central banks: The false claim that deflation itself is bad.” – Peter St Onge

The American Game: Playing and Being Played on the Road to Nuclear War – “There is a good chance that very shortly the United States will overtly join its proxy Israel in attacking Iran. Only a fool would be surprised. Plausible deniability only goes so far. Pipe dreams perdure as the nuclear war that could never happen gets closer to happening. That Donald Trump is a diabolic liar and his administration is composed of depraved war criminals is a fact. That those who bought his no foreign wars bullshit were deluded is a fact. That Trump fully supports the genocidal lunatic Netanyahu is a fact. That the U.S.A. is already supporting Israel’s unprovoked war on Iran is a fact. That the American electorate is always fooled by the linguistic mind control of its presidents is a fact.” – Edward Curtin

Trump’s China Syndrome – “They keep slipping up when they talk about the war. Instead of “they”, as in Israel or Israel and Iran, Trump people will say “we”, as in Israel and the United States. Then they will correct themselves or use some weasel words. Ted Cruz made this blunder when talking with Tucker Carlson and has been squirming ever since. This hints at the fact the Israel sneak attack was part of a larger strategy by the White House. The question no one asks is why the administration would want a war with Iran when it brings so many risks. The closest we get is the chanting of the line, “Iran must never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.” Even if you accept that moral assertion, Iran was ready to sign over its nukes. The deal they were willing to sign was by all accounts a comprehensive agreement. Even if the negotiations were a ruse, to setup the sneak attack, why would Trump want this?” – The Z Man

So why is Trump behaving as if he is President for Netanyahu? Iran has done nothing to America.

Because Netanyahu told us to.” – Paul Craig Roberts

THE BIG PICTURE

“COVID” and “Climate” – “There is a common thread binding the “COVID” and “climate” crisis in that the former wasn’t and the latter isn’t. At least, not in the sense intended. There was – and is – a crisis, certainly. A psychological one, deftly engineered. People were – and are being – hammered by what has been accurately styled Fear Porn intended to do just that. Make them afraid in order to (as H.L. Mencken put it once) make them clamorous to be led to safety. Of course it is more than just that. It is also designed to make it difficult for any person not addled by fear to step out of line. ” – Eric Peters

The Ants’ New Weapon – “In an instant, everything has changed. For most of history, weapons have been top-down. Rulers tried to monopolize new technologies of violence, giving themselves an advantage over external forces that didn’t have them and their own subjugated populations. Nuclear bombs are emblematic of this historical pattern. Drones are transforming warfare from the bottom up, and will transform the relationship between the rulers and the ruled. In three years, the Ukraine-Russia war has introduced a dramatic and dynamic new type of war, one that makes much of which has preceded it obsolete.” – Robert Gore

Wars are never about what we’re told they’re about, and this one is no different – “This one is not about preserving Israel’s existence. It’s not about destroying Iran’s nukes. It has always been about regime change and a broader strategy to control resources” – Leo Hohmann

What The World Needs Desperately Is Love and is Not Going to Get It – “What the world needs now is love, but our leaders continue to prioritize power over presence. control over compassion, madness over mercy. War is spreading, and in the United States, it’s full-on medical war over vaccines, fluoride, cancer treatments, immigration, and pesticides.

Time Dilation – “One of the things skipped past in the flurry of happenings over the last ten days is that the Trump administration has abandoned Ukraine. Pete Hegseth said as much in Congressional testimony where he said there were no plans to send Ukraine additional weapons or ask Congress for more money. For the Iran hawks, this is being greeted as good news as they assume this means Trump is onboard with their war schemes, but it may simply be the result of the clash between short term and long-term thinking. The lesson of Iraq should have been that there are no short-term solutions to long-term problems and long-term problems come with long-term costs. People forget that the war with Iraq was touted as the solution to the Middle East problem. Even if it did not result in regime change in Iran, it would sufficiently terrify them that they would cease to be a problem as far as Washington was concerned. Twenty-five years on and Trump is on the edge of becoming George Bush.” – The Z Man
