THE BIG PICTURE

We’re All Disabled Now . . . – “Imagine if you were pretty much obliged to buy a cane or a walker in order to be allowed to walk in public. Never mind you don’t need a cane or a walker to assist you walking. Well, this is basically the situation with regard to new vehicles. You are able to drive – the state affirms this, having issued you a license to drive that at least nominally is only issued to people who have established a basic minimum level of competence to drive – yet the vehicle is layered with what is styled “driver assistance technology.” This implies you need it. Which implies you’re actually not competent to drive unassisted. So why the bother over licensing drivers? (Well, we know why. The driver’s license is really just an ID – and the state very much wants you to have to carry ID around – and show it. It establishes who’s boss – and who isn’t.)” – Eric Peters

What the Fuck is Going On? – Expanded – “An overview of all that matters – Everything else is theater. There is a certain kind of British conversation that takes place in a quiet room with two cups of tea going cold on the table, the kind where one man tells another that the country he was born in has been gutted from the inside, that the elections he votes in are theatre, that the pension he has been paying into is collateral for a debt nobody intends to repay, and the other man, who already half-believed it, sits there and feels the last of his civic optimism leave the room like steam off the tea. That conversation has been happening more often lately. It is happening in pubs in Bedford, in coffee shops in Manchester, in the spare bedrooms of men in their fifties who have stopped sleeping properly and have begun reading books their fathers would have called crank literature, and it is happening because the official explanations no longer fit the visible facts. The visible facts are these. ” – A Lily Bit

daylight come (VIDEO) – Sylvia Shawcross  – A LITTLE HEART WARMING VIDEO FROM SYLVIA

3 Days Left to Prosecute Anthony Fauci (VIDEO) – “I joined Rob Finnerty on NEWSMAX to expose Fauci’s criminal activities that may have resulted in millions of casualties” -.Nicolas Hulscher, MPH  – A SHORT GOOD WATCH!!!

Deep State War on God Exposed: New Tower of Babel: – “In the shadowy corridors of power, from Washington and New York to London, Paris, Beijing, and Moscow, this conspiracy has been unfolding for generations. The insidious plot, so deeply rooted in darkness, threatens the very foundations of human freedom and divine order. Just as Satan in his pride sought to overthrow God and claim His throne, these conspirators — following after “their father, the Devil” — wage endless war on their Creator. In the long run, they will lose. But the damage wrought in the meantime is incalculable. It must be understood that, at its core, this conspiracy is not merely political or economic. It is profoundly spiritual — literally a satanic rebellion against the Creator Himself. Some 3,000 years ago, David warned in Psalm 2:2: “The kings of the Earth rise up and the rulers band together against the Lord and against his anointed, saying, ‘Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.’” – Alex Newman

WHO Inexplicably, Immediately Releases All Passengers on Hantavirus Cruise Ship Without Quarantine- “Said virus has an incubation period of 7-39 days, meaning an infected individual could walk around symptom-free for the better part of a month and a half without exhibiting any outward signs  Said outbreak occurred on a structure that can easily logistically be kept out at sea until the incubation period expires. Why would you do this unless the goal were to spread it far and wide in the hopes you can get it to catch on somewhere and/or maximize the strategic terror through your mass media proxies?” – Ben Bartee

Is Hantavirus the “Next Pandemic” Bill Gates Promised Us? – *It looks like these results are changing quickly. Because we know how this goes. It starts with a vague “future threat.” Then come the ominous headlines. The urgent briefings. The concerned experts trotting out warnings. The discussions about isolation protocols, emergency response powers, international coordination, and the importance of public compliance. The mandates (they’re temporary!). The vaccine (it’s brand-spanking-new but also totally safe and effective!). The baffling explanations for why The Science™ changed three times while you were in the shower. And, most importantly, the need for every last useless eater to be monitored, mapped, tracked, traced, identified, inventoried, and integrated into their “temporary” emergency system (the one that’s permanent). For our safety and protection, obviously. Problem, panic, product. Repeat.” – Jenna McCarthy

1500 New Data Centers Planned – A Military Project Of The White House – “The Utah Data Center: a 62 square mile monstrosity, the Data Center has come under intensive backlash given the amount of water such a facility would engorge. While the facility is not the largest in the world, it is a close 5th and will take 6+ years to build. IF in fact it is a data center. Given the Military Installation Development Authority (MIDA) is partial owner, speculation is high that it is a weapons facility, or another Area 52. While its website claims they are absolutely 100% transparent with the community and public, it would appear that is a ‘nontruth’.” – Helena Glass – LINKED ABOUT THIS YESTERDAY AS WELL!!!

Why does America need so many AI data centers? U.S. building more than 5,200 data centers compared to only 1,818 in China – “The answer is hiding in plain sight but nobody is looking or asking the right questions. I believe I have the answer. The only explanation is that the U.S. plans to serve as the nerve center for the coming one-world digital/programmable currency. Think about the computing power that would be required for a beast system in which every transaction worldwide is tracked in real time and entered onto a digital blockchain.” – Leo Hohmann  -HERE’S LEO’S TAKE  ON THE SUBJECT!!!!

Uh oh…looks like the Hantavirus made its way to the Magic Chosen Strip of Land! “First case of hantavirus diagnosed in Israel 🇮🇱 after patient’s visit to Eastern Europe” – “Hmmm…” – Sage Hana

 

 

NEWS

Key facts about the White House dinner shooting that have already faded from memory – “First, the night of the shooting, and the day after, news outlets reported “there was an exchange of gunfire.” That means Cole Allen opened fire, and the Secret Service agents responded with fire. You or I could have picked out three good old boys from the hills who wouldn’t have missed. But these highly trained agents…oops…no dice. “Suspect is unharmed.” Unless…the agents were supposed to miss.” – Jon Rappoport

From “Conspiracy Theories” to “Theories”: The New York Times’s Shift on Epstein’s Death – “The New York Times is no longer treating the possibility of Epstein’s murder as a “conspiracy theory.”” – Jon Miltimor)

Trump and Zionist Billionaires Attack MAGA Defectors – ” The Epstein files and Trump’s support for Israel have fractured the MAGA movement. For Trump and his billionaire Zionist handlers, Thomas Massie is a threat.” – Kurt Nimmo. – AT LEAST MR. MASSIE ISN’T AFRAID TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE NONSENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Most Important Race in America Is a Republican Primary in Kentucky – “If you watch this interview, you will understand why I fully endorse Thomas Massie” – Sayer Ji

Here We Go Again – “Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson predicts Donald Trump will again order military attacks against Iran as early as this week. He is not alone in this assessment. A host of geopolitical scholars, former military officers, former intelligence officers and academics are predicting the same thing. I sincerely hope they are wrong, but the massive military buildup in the Persian Gulf by U.S. forces strongly suggests they are right. One thing is a fact: Iran believes an attack is coming, and they are “cocked-and-locked,” and maybe not locked. Should Trump again “pull the trigger” and launch another bombing campaign—or even a ground invasion—against Iran, the consequences will be staggering worldwide.” – Chuck Baldwin

Presidential Lie Detectors Flashing Like Fish in the Sea Everywhere We Look Today – “Lies, lies everywhere. Today, it wasn’t new lies; it was multiple proofs of everything I called out as a lie yesterday. First, Iran made it clear the president has been lying again: Then we have news today making it clear that the president did not call off Project Freedom because Iran was close to making a deal, as he had claimed yesterday morning, Saudi Arabia stated today that the operation was paused because the Saudis closed all their air bases to the US in order to stop Project Freedom:” – David Haggith

Moscow Threatens Mass Strikes on Kiev Center Should Zelensky Disturb Sacred V-Day Ceremonies – Simplicius

America’s Suicide Pact – “America’s suicidal march began long before Donald Trump. Trump and the buffoons around him are the inevitable final chapter of the decaying empire.” – Chris Hedges

Why Does the U.S. Have So Many Military Bases Overseas? – “You can’t make this stuff up. The “liberal” New York Times has now explained why the U.S. has so many overseas military bases in the Middle East and elsewhere. The NYT’s answer suggests the large permanent U.S. military presence dates only from 1991 and was almost an accident of that war. At least the answer mentions oil, though U.S. designs weren’t so much about “protecting” the oil—more like securing or stealing it. “Promoting Democracy.” How has that worked in Iraq? Libya? Syria? Elsewhere? Sorry, democracy isn’t spread by Hellfire missiles and decapitation strikes.” – Bill Astore

Border Czar Doubles Down on Mass Deportations – Kenn Gividen

Cost of California’s High-Speed Rail Goes Up Again – “The California High-Speed Rail Authority’s latest draft business plan, which it releases every year, now calculates that it will cost $126 billion to connect San Francisco with Los Angeles-Anaheim. It’s not that far off the previous year’s estimate — give or take a billion or so. But it is a jolting reminder that it was supposed to cost $33 billion when voters approved the train in 2008.” – Kerry Jackson

Nigeria Intimated That It’s Preparing To Intervene In Mali – “Its Defense Minister is preconditioning the public ahead of what might be an inevitable regional war.” – Andrew Korybko

 

 

ECONOMIC NEWS

Lubricant Disruption Threatens Machinery Operation & Economic Upheaval; Chevron CEO Glazes US Low Risk (Not Low) – “Lost in the claims that the US is self-sufficient in crude production is a small detail: the US is heavily dependent upon Persian Gulf supply of processed petroleum feedstock called ‘base oils’ that are essential to the production of lubricants and industrial oils (motor oils, hydraulic oils, greases, etc.).” – David Jensen

Men Plan, God Laughs, Gold Does Its Thing – “Be prepared…Wall Street had the script ready. Iran cools down? Gold should drop. Stocks rally? Silver should stall. Dollar up? Metals down. And yet… here we are again. Gold refuses to behave. Silver keeps sniffing higher. The miners are acting like something bigger is brewing beneath the surface. 📈 The market is starting to understand something most people still don’t get: Geopolitics is no longer the story. Liquidity is the story.” – Kerry Lutz

The New Fed Chair and the Coming Inflation Wave – Doug Casey

Closer Look Reveals April Jobs Report Was A Disaster, And AI Is Now Here To Take Your Job – “It’s amazing how much dirt the BLS tried to shovel under the rug. *HASSETT: ‘RIP-ROARING’ JOBS MARKET Unfortunately, below the surface this was the ugliest jobs report in years, and one could say even more cooked than last month’s laughable surge in jobs (which was revised from 178K to 185K). Here’s why.” – Tyler Durden

Oh My…. (You DONT Want To See This). But You Knew It Was Coming… – “Jobs report today: Economy adds 115,000 jobs in April in sign labor market on the mend — live updates. The payroll survey says the economy added 115,000 payroll jobs in April. But the same BLS report says the household survey showed 226,000 fewer employed people, the labor force fell by 92,000, and 188,000 more people left the labor force. That is not a “labor market on the mend” story. ” – Gregory Mannarino

Is the silver bull back? – “Notably in silver, bear squeeze conditions were evident this week. The likelihood of the bull market returning is now strengthened, particularly given gold’s improving prospects. The classic conditions for a bear squeeze are a combination of bearish trader consensus and an unexpected rise in the price, leading to shorts being squeezed into buying back their positions. That’s a reasonable description of market developments this week. ” – Alasdair Macleod

Silver Panic Has Already Started (VIDEO) with Andy Schectman – ” The conversation dives deep into unusual activity inside COMEX, massive physical silver deliveries, warehouse drawdowns, rising questions about market trust, and why some believe the silver market is approaching a breaking point. ” – Kerry Lutz’s Financial Survival Network

The War Came Home – “Spirit Airlines Was the First Major American Casualty. It Won’t Be the Last.” – Lau Vegys

How to Start a Garden (Without Overthinking It): A Simple Beginner’s Guide – Josh Thomas

What Makes A Life Worth Defending – A Reflection For Preppers – “There is a question that doesn’t get asked nearly enough in the prepping community, and honestly, the silence around it is a little unsettling. We spend a lot of time talking about gear lists, bug-out routes and survival protocols. Sure, all of that is valuable, and none of it is wasted effort, but somewhere along the way, a lot of us forget to ask the one question that actually gives everything else its weight: what are we doing all of this for?” – Bob Rodgers

The “Early Summer” Food You’re Walking Past – “If you walk your property this time of year and don’t see food, you’re not looking hard enough. Early summer isn’t subtle. It’s loud. It’s generous. It’s the land practically leaning over and saying, “You’re missing it.” Because right now, berries are ripening in the hedgerows. Medicinal herbs are pushing through old fence lines. And so-called “weeds” are quietly filling in every gap with usable, valuable nutrition. In other words, your land isn’t just sitting there. It’s producing.” – Bill Heid

10 Ways to Grow Strawberries Vertically – Heidi Hawthorn

5 Signs Your Local Power Grid Is Targeted by Cyber Attacks – “There’s a thing that happens when the power goes out at night. For the first few seconds, your brain doesn’t register it. You sit there in the dark, waiting, because the power always comes back. It always does. Except one day, maybe it won’t – and the reason won’t be a storm or a blown transformer. It’ll be someone sitting at a keyboard three thousand miles away. And if you think that’s speculation, you must know that it already happened.” – Kate L. Gilmour

THE BIG PICTURE

“Rat Virus,” Masks, Isolation, Lockdown, Global Panic: Fraud and Stupidity All – “Race to track “rat ‘virus’ passengers, global effort to stop spread, mandatory quarantine, ‘covid’ flashbacks, and mask-up, are just a few of the incredibly ludicrous headlines floating around today. This asinine attempt to scare the world over a fake ‘virus’ outbreak would be completely comical if it were not so devious. After the ‘covid’ fraud, how could any sane human accept this new nonsense?” – Gary D. Barnett

Hantavirus is a fake, don’t fall for it. Republishing Grand Princess Quarantine Orders FOIA, Part 2 – “The government’s ability to declare pandemics based on nothing enables imprisonment without due process and must be nullified. I am enjoying the sight of a robust and funny! public response to the feeble attempts of the pandemic cabal to ignite another round of fear and bullshit with the current “hantavirus” psyop.” – Sasha Latypova

They admit it was BS all along – “Climate change hysteria has been a thing for decades, and I’ll admit that a younger and dumber me completely bought into not just the idea that the climate was changing, but that it was our fault. Then I grew up.One of the data points that completely snuffed out my acceptance of that narrative was how every doomsaying model trotted out failed to materialize as we were told it would. All sorts of claims, none of which panned out. And now, it seems they are admitting it was BS all along. It’s nice when something you knew was a fraud all along turns out to be a fraud, but it’s even nicer when the people perpetrating the fraud admit it was a fraud all along. In other words, everything they told us was total BS, but they know it’s BS, and so they have to adjust because they’re getting called out for it more and more.” – Tom Knighton

Roosevelt Took Gold Overnight. The Great Taking Will Seize Your Savings by Algorithm. – “These AI Data Centers Are the Air-Raid Sirens. ORGANIZE NOW — THIS IS A FULL-SCALE EMERGENCY. They Are Not Building “Data Centers” That phrase is a disguise, a polite bureaucratic mask for something far uglier. These are not neutral warehouses for information. They are mass unsolicited surveillance compounds, built at industrial scale to watch, sort, and discipline a population while devouring the water, land, and electricity of the communities forced to host them.” – The Silver Academy

“Shit..” – “That was Ghislaine Maxwell’s reply, in writing, when the Telegraph pulled flight records of Epstein’s landings at Royal Air Force bases.” – Sater Ji

‘Money trauma’: slippery slope to a cashless society? – “A look at what might happen when the language of healing begins to overlap with the language of policy.. The idea of ‘trauma’, once a tightly defined clinical concept caused by exposure to extreme and even life-threatening events, has taken on new meaning in mainstream culture — along with its parallel, ‘post-traumatic stress disorder.’ This has given younger generations a new vocabulary and a new framework to deal with what older generations once just called ‘life’ or ‘the school of hard knocks.’” – Collapse Life

Demolishing Evolution Theory [Evolution Hoax Part 3] – “The time has come to begin methodically ripping apart this theory…” – Agent131711  – GOING FURTHER DOWN THE EVOLUTION RABBIT HOLE!!!

Operation Jonestown: or, The Chronicle of a Cover-Up (Part I) – “An operation gone horribly wrong — or gone horribly right?… In the summer of 1980, the surviving victims of Jim Jones and the families of the deceased are in Federal Court, however, and their lawsuit does not read like the tidy script already being sold to the American public. They claim that the United States government permitted a monster to operate with impunity, numerous warnings ignored, with the late Congressman Leo Ryan being allowed to walk into a situation federal officials knew to be a cauldron of simmering violence. Most importantly, they alleged Jonestown was something much more than a cult:” – Scipio Eruditus

U.S Intelligence Officials Warn Religious Leaders to ‘Prepare Now’ for UFO Files Release – “Religious leaders were reportedly warned that the coming revelations could shake the foundations of biblical faith.” – Frank Bergman   – THE NEXT PSYOP, SEE DONALD JEFFRIES ARTICLE FROM YESTERDAY!!!!!!

NEWS

A Constitution In Ruins—Is It Salvageable? – “First, a reality check—wherein we condemn both parties. Biden the warmonger, Obama the corporate pastry, and Trump the great hater of Obama, whose ego won’t let him quit murdering Iranians without a better deal than Obama got with the JCPOA. Until then, or until Americans revolt against Trump’s policies, we will get lies, such as Obama gave Iran pallets of taxpayer dollars, which Is not true, Obama gave back Iran’s frozen assets. Whether or not there exists the patriotism to retrieve the republic, Americans need to understand what it would take. We need to quit voting for the lesser of 2 evils. Rise up against legislators who take money from weapons producers and Israel. ” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com  – AS USUAL, ERIK SAYS IT LIKE IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!

It Seems That No World Ruler Can Accept Reality or Even Is Aware of It – “Trump and Netanyahu are not the only politicians who have trapped themselves in a war to their electoral disadvantage. The two are joined at the hip not only in purpose but in stupidity. The two stooges overestimated their military prowess and underestimated Iran’s. If Iran had kept to its vow and not agreed to a ceasefire at Israel and Washington’s request, Iran’s victory would be complete. Instead, Iran faces a possible renewal of a war that it had almost won. But, alas, bad judgement again prevailed in Iran, and we are left with a smoldering war from which there is no easy “victory” exit for Trump and Netanyahu, both of whom face elections this autumn.” – Paul Craig Roberts

TACO TUESDAY: Trump Maneuvers Some Great TACO Trades This Morning after a Tactical Retreat on Tuesday – “Stock and oil markets can hardly keep up with this president’s moves, but it appears White House traders (traitors?) get a jump on his moves every time!” – David Haggith

Epstein’s purported suicide note unsealed by judge: Read the full text – Catherine Stoddard

US attacks Iranian tanker after Trump’s ultimatum – “The US president has threatened to resume bombings at much higher intensity unless Tehran agrees to a deal” – RT

US’s Latest “Project Freedom” Boondoggle Sinks in Less Than a Day – “The carnival is in its last season, and it’s beginning to show its age, appearing at times both erratic and woefully rehearsed to exasperated audiences. The latest spectacle saw Trump launch an ill-fated and ill-planned ‘Project Freedom’, a kind of freedom of navigation gimmick in Hormuz, which immediately flopped hours later when US destroyers attempting to cross the strait were targeted by Iran. The entire charade was particularly confused: for instance, the US official “guidance” for this bizarro stunt essentially told daring vessels to “chance it” through Omani territorial waters in the hopes it would avoid Iranian strikes.” – Simplicius

Epic Fury Ends, Project Freedom on Pause. Zelensky Ceasefire Crumbles as SWEDEN Monitors Black Sea (VIDEO) – Alex Christoforou

Israeli military investigates soldier’s act against Virgin Mary statue in Lebanon – David Gritten  – A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO IT WAS A STATUE OF JESUS AND NOW MARY. IT’S OBVIOUS THAT ISRAELI SOLDIERS HAVE NO RESPECT FOR CHRISTIANITY, YET ZIONIST CHRISTIANS STILL BELIEVE ISRAEL’S PROPAGANDA

Russia’s Threat Of A Massive Retaliatory Strike On Kiev Likely Isn’t A Bluff – “Russia can’t afford to discredit itself abroad, nor can Putin’s ruling United Russia party afford to discredit itself at home four months before the next polls, by threatening overwhelming retaliation against Ukraine if it attacks Moscow’s Victory Day parade only to symbolically retaliate or do nothing at all.” – Andrew Korybko

 

 

 

ECONOMIC NEWS

US Officially a Banana Republic (VIDEO) with Bill Holter – “What we started this off with is the United States is officially a banana republic. It’s 100% debt to GDP. When I was in school in the early 1980s, the definition of a banana republic is when it hit 100% debt to GDP. In this instance, it is the issuer of the world’s reserve currency that is admitting it is officially a banana republic. Everything runs on credit. The biggest issuer of credit is the United States, and if their credit card gets declined, then what does that do to the real economy? I think the contingency plan is oil. They went after Maduro. So, they have taken control of the Venezuelan oil supply. They want to do the same thing elsewhere. I mean President Trump said in his own words, he said basically we are pirates, and we are going to take Iran’s oil. I think that’s the plan” – Greg Hunter   – AS UISUAL A GOD LISTEN FROM BILL!!!

Whirlpool Sales Plunge, Warns of 4 Percent Price Hikes, Blames Inflation – “Along with prices increases on gasoline, jet fuel, fertilizer, aluminum, steel, diesel, airline tickets, tools, autos, and countless intermediate goods, a four percent price in appliances is a small price for consumers to pay. Please make a note of that. Is that a great midterm election proposal or what? It’s quite patriotic. Republicans need to run with it.” – Mish

Diesel prices squeeze US farmers ‘barely getting by’ amid tariffs and drought = “US war with Iran drives diesel fuel prices up during spring planting season, ‘hitting us at the wrong time’, farmers say. It has been a tough few years for American farmers. Squeezed last year by tariffs, they lost an estimated $34.6bn when former trade partners stopped buying. Now, the war with Iran has not only depleted crucial fertilizer stores but has also driven diesel fuel up to record prices.” – Sara Murphy

Housing Market’s Crucial “Spring Selling Season” Is in Tatters – “For the 4th year in a row: Normal-ish mortgage rates, too-high prices, and the “lock-in effect” from the Fed’s reckless interest-rate repression.” – Wolf Richter

Fewer Earnings Reports Means More Retail Investor Risk – “If executives think filing regular disclosures is too much work, they are welcome to stay private. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is now proposing to let public companies file financial reports twice a year instead of quarterly, cutting mandatory disclosures from four reports annually to just two and giving companies longer periods to keep investors in the dark.” – Quoth the Raven

April ADP: More Signals The Jobs Recession Is Ending – “Expectations Are Raised For Friday’s Employment Situation Summary Report. In March. ADP printed a respectable employment report that was on the surface a repeat of February. For April ADP hopped on the BLS bandwagon and printed a blowout National Employment Report showing strong growth across all job sectors, for an aggregate of 109,000 new jobs.” – Peter Nayland Kust

The number of people getting unemployment checks just fell to a 2½-year low. Here’s why. – “Labor market is healing, but lots of jobless workers are still hurting” – Jeffry Bartash  – LESS PEOPLE LOSING JOBS. I THINK IT’S MORE LIKE THEIR BENEFITS ARE RUNNING OUT

What Would Be Truly Bullish? Actually Fixing What’s Broken – “Refusing to recognize, much less actually fix, what’s broken hurries our collective rendezvous with consequences. We’ve come to an interesting juncture in history, interesting because while we’re being assured that AI will solve all problems, including any it creates, back in the real world, AI is incapable of fixing what’s broken because too many people are getting rich off the status quo, and since the status quo is the problem, those who own / control AI will use it to maintain the status quo, guaranteeing that what’s broken spirals into irreversible breakdown.” – Charles Hugh Smith

 

 

 

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

BUILDING THE RIGHT FOUNDATION FOR TRUE OFF-GRID FREEDOM – “Living off the grid has been the most amazing experience and one that I will never be able to walk away from! It has brought such joy and freedom to my life — living off the grid has been everything we were seeking and more. We embarked on our off-grid journey when it wasn’t well accepted and or considered glamorous, but we were determined. We pushed past the opposition and the skeptics to discover a life we treasure. With that being said, I would like to encourage you to embrace YOUR dreams and not worry about what ANYONE else has to say! The best parts of life are on the other side of YOUR comfort zone! There are a lot of misconceptions that come along with off-grid living, and it is crucial to have an excellent foundation before embarking on such a journey. ” – Tammy Trayer

The Grey Man Property – “The Grey Man Property How To Make Your Home Look Uninteresting Before Trouble Starts. There is a strange thing that happens when people begin taking home security seriously. They often make the house look more secure, but they also make it look more interesting. New cameras appear on every corner. Warning signs go up. Boxes from expensive gear sit at the curb. A generator shows up beside the garage. Fuel cans get stacked where anyone walking past can see them. A shed gets a heavy lock, but the lock is so obvious that it draws the eye. The house may be harder to enter, but it is also telling people one dangerous thing: There is something here worth noticing.” – denob  – YOU’VE PROBABLY HEARD OF BEING A GREY MAN. WELL THE SAME IDEA APPLIES TO YOUR PROPERTY AS WELL!!!

17 Things Everyone Will Soon Be Looking For – “If you’ve been prepping for more than, say, a day, you know to stockpile things like food, water, and first aid supplies. That’s the easy to remember stuff, right? We all know we’ll need to eat and stay hydrated. However, there are a number of things many preppers overlook in their planning. Things that will certainly come into play at some point during any sort of long-term event.” – Alan Urban

What the “Prepping Experts” are Hiding from You – “There is no shortage of prepping advice on the internet. You can find lists of what to stockpile, reviews of every piece of survival gear on the market, and endless debates about which knife or water filter is the best. All of that has its place. But if you’ve been in the prepping world for any amount of time, you’ve probably noticed that certain topics come up constantly, while others barely get mentioned at all. But those overlooked areas are often the difference between someone who is truly ready and someone who only thinks they are.” – Jack

The purpose of Finance Corporation was to extend loans to American Exporters and Farmers. During WWI with European farms devastated US exports ramped up along with profits and inflationary pricing. When the War was over, all related farm indexes crashed. Causing farmers to be over-extended in debt. Causing bank failures. In 1927, Meyer was named chairman of the Federal Farm Loan Board wherein more loans, more bank failures, were extended. By 1930, Meyer was appointed chair of the Federal Reserve.

UNAMERICAN PICKERS: WASHINGTON’S INSIDER TRADING PROBLEM – “In 2003, federal agents arrested Martha Stewart for selling four thousand shares of a biotech stock based on a tip from her broker. The trade saved her about forty five thousand dollars. She did five months in a West Virginia federal prison, and the judge said the sentence was necessary to send a message about insider trading. The message was received by every American in the country, except for five hundred and thirty six of them. Those five hundred and thirty six work in the same air-conditioned building in Washington. None of them have ever spent a night in West Virginia federal lockup. The reason is that they WROTE THE LAW that put Martha there, and they wrote it in such a way that it would never apply to them.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf and Lily-Rose Dawson

The ceasefire is over; the shooting has resumed; just as we knew it would – “US-Iran war officially restarted Monday with both sides claiming to have successfully hit targets of the other. Let’s delve into what to expect next.” – Leo Hohmann

Trump Adds Zionist Lobbyist to Iran Negotiating Team – “Donald Trump has appointed Nick Stewart as a negotiator along with the Zionist real estate developer Steve Witkoff and Trump’s settler-friendly son-in-law, Jared Kushner. On Iran, Witkoff is witless, while Kushner is a favorite of fanatical Zionist settlers in Bet El and other settlements on stolen Palestinian land. For Iran, the inclusion of Stewart represents another slap in the face and a further indicator the Zionists run the show in America.” – Kurt Nimmo

Trump Strikes Out Again – “What will it take to make him go away? On Friday, Donald Trump was at it again. He posted on Truth Social a photoshopped picture of his face next to those of the four earlier presidents carved in stone on Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. At least he was grinning, not displaying his usual snarl or sneer with his little fist raised defiantly in the air showing what a tough guy he is! That stern presidential portrait will be on display on the first page of the new United States passports which will be issued by the Washington DC passport office in June.. And for those who love seeing their president’s obsession with gold there is now a 15 foot high statue of the Donald with his tiny fist raised at his Trump Doral golf course in Florida. It is completely covered in gold. It is probably similar to what son-in-law and real estate developer Jared Kushner had some time ago proposed to erect at the Trump Gaza Riviera Luxury Seashore Development after the Palestinians are forced to emigrate or killed by America’s “best friend and closest ally” Israel.” – Phiip Giraldi

Trump Blusters, Lies, And Fails… Again & The Impending Israeli False Flag (VIDEO) – Ryan Cristián  – LONG BUT INTERESTING VIDEO FROM RYAN!!

Trump’s Greatest ‘Art of the Deal’- “The president can escape the economic trench warfare he started in April 2025. But first, he’ll have to remember a decades-old lesson from the greatest deal he ever struck. Sometime in 1986, Donald Trump and Tony Schwartz struck a big, beautiful deal. Over eighteen months, Schwartz shadowed the real estate magnate, getting a feel for the man he would catapult to stardom by ghostwriting The Art of the Deal. In return, Trump got what he’s always craved: his name in gold, top-billed on the cover (plus half of the advance and all subsequent royalties). Critics may assert that Schwartz was “ripped off” by this deal (even before Trump’s lawyers issued a cease-and-desist order and demanded that Schwartz return his royalties and the book advance, which the authors had split 50/50).” – Caleb S. Fuller and Scott Burns

A Terrain Study for the Battle of the Strait of Hormuz – “If it ever goes fully kinetic. Maps. charts, photos and analysis” – Matt Bracken

How Iran Defeated Israel – “A stunning investigative report by Hebrew-language outlet Ynet has laid bare the embarrassing cataclysm not only of the US-Israeli war on Iran, but the Zionist entity’s effort throughout to end the Islamic Republic via covert and overt military and intelligence operations. Violent Mossad-orchestrated protests, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s murder, and a Kurdish invasion were intended to produce regime change and “total victory” over Tehran. Yet, as Ynet concludes: “what started as a far-reaching Israeli move, rich in imagination, final in its solution, ends in heartache.” In granular detail, the investigation tracks how the Zionist entity’s deranged scheme germinated in the minds of Israeli intelligence, military, and political chiefs, before the Trump administration was comprehensively sold on the plot.” – Kit Klarenberg

It’s Time for the U.S. to Acknowledge Israel’s Nuclear Arsenal – “Israel never joined the Non-Proliferation Treaty and over the decades it has developed a significant nuclear arsenal.” – Daniel Larison

Jimmy Kimmel Didn’t Do It – “A reluctant defense of a man I find profoundly unfunny. I’m about to say something that may get my MAGA card revoked. I’m saying it anyway. You’ve probably heard by now that longtime Trump ally Rudy Giuliani was hospitalized with pneumonia on Sunday and is reportedly in critical but stable condition. You may also have heard that nearly a full week before the 80-year-old former NYC mayor even had a tickle in his throat, late night rabble-rouser Jimmy Kimmel made a joke about Rudy’s proximity to death. This is called a coincidence. It all started when Kimmel made another totally different offensive joke during a preemptive spoof of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner speech. But free speech doesn’t come with a feelings filter or its own HR department. As long as it’s not violent or defamatory, it’s free to be as unbecoming, crass, or tone-deaf as it likes. That part is baked right into the Constitution.” – Jenna McCarthy  – NOT A KIMMEL FAN, BUT A  GREAT POINT FROM  JENNA ON FREE SPEECH.!!!!!!!

Aside From Funding Hate, SPLC Helped to Corrupt Education & Brainwash Children – “As Americans react to the shocking federal indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center and its glaring hypocrisy, its vast and harmful influence over U.S. education also demands serious scrutiny.” – Alex Newman

“Moderate” Democrat Abigail Spanberger Considers Tax On Gym Memberships And Streaming Services, Among Other Ideas – “During an interview with 8News, the Virginia governor was asked whether she would sign legislation expanding the state’s sales tax to cover a long list of services. Rather than rejecting the idea outright, Spanberger said any proposal that seems “reasonable” should at least be part of the conversation as lawmakers search for new sources of revenue.” – Tyler Durden  – TAX ANYTHING POSSIBLE BASICALLY IS WHAT SHE IS SAYING, AS IF WE AREN’T TAXED ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Proposed Trans-Caspian Pipeline Is Shaping Up To Be A Flashpoint – “The strategic stakes are simply too high as NATO encroaches on Russia’s entire southern periphery via TRIPP and Turkiye just revived talk of the Trans-Caspian Pipeline that’s anathema to Russia’s interests.” – Andrew Korybko

Trump is still maintaining that, as soon as the war stops, oil prices will fall and things will be back to normal. Trump noted today how the ocean is now full of tankers ready to deliver oil as his proof that prices will plummet. Sure, prices will fall temporarily in sudden relief, but they won’t normalize for years. One article today explains some of the longterm damage that will leave the world short in oil supply for a long time to come:” – David Haggith

Four of the last five closing records for the S&P 500 Index occurred even as decliners in the index outnumbered gainers. ” – Geoffrey Morgan

Even 29 top didn’t match it. etc., etc. So we have a bubble there. But we have an deflated bubble in the commodities that wants to reassert itself. and our technicals tell us it’s going to do it. Uh and I think that’s a place for investors to look and it will be in part a consequence of the breakage of the stock market because what it’ll the stock market breakage will cause movement of assets out of a broken category into that which is perceived to be low risk higher reward commodity category.” – Adam Taggart | Thoughtful Money®

THE BIG PICTURE

Can We Really Trust Our Feelings? – “Sure, as long as we are conscious of their true origins. And even if not, sometimes we can trust, other times no. Feelings are odd things. They can come out of nowhere, or they can be highly circumstantial—like the rush of extreme fear when a bear jumps aggressively from behind a tree. They can also be mysterious “gut feelings.” Usually, we have some awareness of their unconscious underpinnings. We sense whether a feeling is a solid “gut” instinct, something “creepy,” or simply “good”” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

Hantavirus Hoax – “An Emergency Broadcast.Cruise ship cases typically trigger concern because of shared ventilation and close quarters, but hantavirus transmission (for these strains) still requires contact with infected rodent urine, droppings, or saliva, not other passengers. So the accurate, situation-specific answer is: No human-to-human transmission is expected for that outbreak strain. Let’s tackle this first head on when they wheel out the “Expert” who (Ironically) breathlessly tells us we should be extremely worried about Hantavirus because it has “a long incubation period of up to a week”. As we can see above and even our wheezing academic tells us in mealy mouthed terms, that Hantavirus is not Contagious, Human to Human. So off the bat, unless you were paying attention you wouldn’t realize that his opening gambit was a massive fucking lie.” – Jamie Andrews

Most Accurate Location-Tracking Tech on the Planet and GPS Alternative Unveiled from Secretive Tech Company – “Jemima McEvoy, writing for the Tech publication The Information, published an exclusive report about a “secretive” Tech company named ZaiNar which has been working for nine years to develop superior tracking technology that can track people’s locations even inside buildings, something that satellite-based current GPS tracking technology cannot do. The company is now coming out of the shadows in the pursuit of contacts to use its technology, as the company is now valued at around $1 billion. We are NOT powerless against this emerging technology. The solutions remain the same and quite simple: just “unplug” and stop using their products and services. We have multiple generations now that have grown up in this technology and falsely believe that it is essential to our lives. They have no memory of the not-so-distant past that the older generations lived through, where we did not even carry around cell phones nor have access to the Internet for most of our lives growing up.” – Brian Shilhavy

Big Brother Is Coming for Your Car – “New “kill switch” law just got funded; funeral services for freedom and privacy to be announced. I think we can all agree that when you slide into the captain’s seat of a multi-ton weapon on wheels, you should be at your most alert and sober best.

Mad King Chuck Visits the MAGA White House – “Getting rid of useless kings was step one in making America great. Last week, this poncy English toff named Chuck gave a speech to Congress. In his home country, they call him “Charles the Third, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of His other Realms and Territories, King, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith.” However, as he had crossed America’s moat to visit the descendants of the rebels who turned the British Empire upside down, he looked like a “Chuck” to me. I’ve never understood Americans’ fascination with the dis-United Kingdom’s “Royal Family.” The royal family…barf. I have noticed over the years that the Americans most caught up in the soap opera of wayward “spare” Harry and his “D List” actress wife Meghan (Are they “royals” still? Who cares.) are the same ones likely to go to a “No Kings” street performance in the middle of a workday afternoon.” – J.B. Shurk

China’s Rare Defiance of US Sanctions Sparks Showdown Over Banks – “China has ordered companies to defy US sanctions for the first time, a step that threatens to put its banking sector into the crosshairs of competition between the world’s largest economies. The decision, announced on Saturday, risks becoming a watershed moment. While China has often railed against unilateral sanctions, it has in the past quietly allowed companies to comply with them to avoid blowback on its own economy and preserve access to the US financial system. Beijing is now signaling a far firmer stance against such restrictions by directing companies not to abide by US sanctions on five domestic refiners linked to the Iranian oil trade.” – Bloomberg News

Grassroots… or Manufactured? Alberta’s Independence Movement Needs to Answer This – “Who is really leading Alberta’s independence movement? Not the rallies, not the slogans, not the anger…but the people behind it. If you’re an Albertan frustrated with Ottawa, overreach, or being ignored, you’re not the problem, you’re the reason the movement exists. The real question is who is shaping that frustration and where they’re leading it. Take David Parker, often presented as a grassroots organizer. But his own background tells a different story. Before Take Back Alberta, Parker worked inside the Office of the Prime Minister of Canada, held roles in Canadian Heritage, served as a senior advisor to figures like Ed Fast, and helped run national campaigns for Erin O’Toole and Jason Kenney. That’s not grassroots, it’s a career political operator trained inside the system.” – Connie Shields

The Astonishing Influence of Israel – “More Global Lessons. Every now and then, I get out one of my globes to remind myself of the geography of America’s many distant wars. It’s always staggering to ponder how small Israel is vis-a-vis most other nations in the region and indeed in the world. My AI friends compare Israel to countries like El Salvador, Belize, and Fiji. When was the last time Belize was accused of dictating U.S. foreign policy? Or Fiji?” – Bill Astore

Trump rejects Iranian peace offer – “The US president says Tehran’s proposed path to de-escalation is not acceptable. The back-and-forth has so far resulted a deadlock in which neither party appears to be willing to budge. Although active fighting was paused under a fragile ceasefire last month, both Washington and Tehran continue to rely on economic leverage to force concessions.” – RT

Israel Has Kidnapped Two of Our Most Important Pro-Palestine Activists – “Nothing illustrates the inversion of the international and moral order more than the genocide in Gaza and the shipment of tens of billions of dollars of weapons to Israel by Western nations, especially the United States, to sustain it. Part of this inversion is the unrelenting persecution of those who denounce the genocide — especially those who risk their lives to halt it and demand the rule of law. But the rule of law, it appears, is buried under the rubble in Gaza.” – Chris Hedges

THE BIG PICTURE

Choices Matter – “Choice begets action. Action begets reaction. Reaction begets consequence. There is no part of the world where this sequence is not the eternal order of things. There is no part of the world where this is not God’s guiding principle for humanity. I discuss choice quite often, and my reasoning for this is simple: choice is the starting point. Choice selects our actions. Choice frames the reactions which follow. Choice defines the consequences we receive. Choices matter.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Declaration of Restoration – “When in the natural progress of human affairs, the systems instituted for the common benefit come, through a long course of abuses, to invert their own purposes, and to perpetuate not the prosperity but the servitude of a people, it becomes the duty of the impartial spectator to consider, with sober and sorrowful reflection, the causes which have led to this melancholy distemper. In every stage of these oppressions, we have petitioned for redress in the most humble and earnest terms. Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated and escalating injury. A system of governance so wholly subverted to such ends, which bears every mark of a tyranny, is unfit to rule a free people. Any system of power which would so bring about such a system of governance is not fit to exist.” – E.M. Burlingame

US DEMOCRACY ROOTED IN SATANISM – “What is democracy? The term is flaunted as though it is a religious ideology with godlike implications. The basic tenet states that democracy is rooted in a government wherein supreme power is vested in The People. Within that one phrase, America no longer qualifies, assuming it ever did. The Elite are a culture. What is a culture? What a culture is not is genetic. It is a group of people who share similar beliefs, language, religion, social habits, behaviors and/or perceptions. The Elite are a culture. Their similarities in beliefs, perceptions, religion are rooted in criminal behaviors – as in normal Constitutional Laws do not apply to them. They make ‘deals’. Those deals are rooted in money. That money is housed in tax evasion countries, so they do not contribute to supporting The Government.” – Helena Glass – GOOD READ FROM HELENA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The US Empire Is In Ruin – “From what the US reputation suffered in Libya, Syria, Lebanon, Venezuela, Ukraine, and now Iran, it will never recover. And the snide unaccountability of Pete Hegseth, testifying before Congress, avoiding questions while degrading questioners—tells the tale of an empire in ruin. Sadly, the lot of them, Hegseth, Rubio, Scott Bessent, Donald Trump, and unfortunately Tulsi Gabbard, are each a Zionist tool, hand-picked by the likes of Miriam Adelson. ” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

Contrived Wars and No Peace – “The Iran war, like every US war, is a banker’s war. Smedley Butler knew. “Negotiating” with real estate con-men and private equity bros is an obvious indicator. Another is Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s public and unrestrained strategy to kill trade, hyper-inflate Iranian currency, and create poverty and starvation in Iran. We’ve been weaponizing the dollar for decades to force other countries to submit to US mandates and demands.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

The Future Is Invasive – “The fallacy is that the left only acts violently when someone like Donald Trump is president, masking the inherent violence in their nature. I’ve seen the same vitriol, the same talking points when Reagan and George W. Bush were presidents. I watched the same exact actions taken by Clinton, Obama and Biden go unnoticed, even encouraged by the left. They’re children, violent, unreasonable, self-hating children. Hating themselves allows them to hate everyone else like them: white, middleclass, educated, perhaps Christian. Knowing oneself reveals one’s weaknesses and that’s what they attack, the inherent guilt of being human and living in an advanced society knowing that there are many other societies that are much less forgiving. The answer to this disparity for the left, is to bring their own society down to the level of their less-advantaged brethren” – T.L. Davis

🔥 Cuba in the Dark: Blackouts, Blockades, and the Next Extraction Play – “The lights didn’t just go out in Cuba. The system did. And when systems collapse this fast, it’s never just infrastructure—it’s positioning. What you’re watching right now isn’t random chaos. It’s the early phase of a geopolitical endgame that’s been building for months. Collapse → Pressure → Transition → Control. We’ve already seen the blueprint. Economic strangulation creates internal instability. That instability justifies intervention—financial, political, or “humanitarian.” And before long, the assets get reorganized under new management. Cuba isn’t just an island. It’s strategic real estate 90 miles from Florida. It’s ports, infrastructure, tourism, resources, and positioning. You don’t invade that. You acquire it.” – Kerry Lutz

Sodom & Gomorrah Media vs. God: How the Almighty Would NOT Approach the Modern Serial-Killer State (VIDEO) – “A story worth considering is Sodom and Gomorrah, and, in particular, how The Almighty approached Sodom and Gomorrah, the Sin City of antiquity. The all-knowing Almighty possessed full-knowledge of the evidence for Sodom and Gomorrah’s utter debauchery and murderous decadence. In front of Him, The Almighty had the totality of the crimes. The cumulative evidence was spread before him. What did He do? Did He dispatch a group of wise men to further “investigate” the Sodom and Gomorrah Sin City, a place where crime was law? Did He solicit the perspective and opinion of the City’s top criminals about their crimes? No. He had in evidence His infinite knowledge, much like an AI archive. In other words, did the Almighty do what the complicit, narrative-shaping, collaborator, Western corporate media do, at this stage of Israel’s crime spree? Of course not. “Oh, Almighty Israel, give us your side of The Story,” these media persist in pleading with the Serial-Killer State. “Give us your take on your latest mass butchery, thievery, looting, and raping. We’re listening, Oh Almighty Israel.” What is wrong with the Sodom and Gomorrah media!” – Ilana Mercer

How Zionists Came to Palestine Under British Protection (VIDEO) – “Four years ago, Canadian historian Jesse Alexander put together this piece on how the British Government encouraged and protected Zionist colonization of Palestine during the years of the British Mandate, from 1918 to until 1947. To his credit, Alexander pulls no punches. He includes Churchill’s imperial rebuff to Palestinians complaining of their lands being swindled from them, British officials who were sympathetic to the indigenous Arab population were dismissed and replaced by committed Zionists. Come to think of it, that particular British Government practice hasn’t changed much at all. Anyway, it was under British rule that the first Zionist terrorist organizations, called such because their primary mission was to terrorize recalcitrant Arabs into fleeing their own land, such as the Irgun formed and flourished. And in the end, it was the British who left behind large stockpiles of guns and ammunition for the Zionists to find when they left, but if you get your history from Exodus or Hebrew or Sunday School, you’ll never know that.” – Ohio Barbarian

The Spanish-US Spat Could Lead To NATO’s Unraveling – “It’s manageable for now, but if it becomes a protracted problem and the US locates its bases from Spain to “Major Non-NATO Ally” Morocco, then the US and the EU might find themselves backing opposite sides in a future Moroccan-Spanish war over the latter’s remaining North African holdings.” – Andrew Korybko

Stagflation… No, Definitely Not… But Yes. – “Yesterday ECB President Christine Legarde dismissed the threat of Stagflation that hangs over the Western Economy. She played semantics and argued stagflation was something from the 1970s – like flared pants and platform soles. She suggested we face something completely different today. Really? What might that be then Chrissy? Let’s think it through – where are we today?” – Bill Blain

BLACK MARKETING – “For example, on our farm, it’s illegal for me to mill a black walnut log on my bandsaw mill, build that wood into a chair, and sell it to a neighbor. According to the zoning ordinance, that’s manufacturing, which is prohibited in our agricultural zone. Firewood can only be sold by the cord, not the pound, even though pounds are a far more accurate measurement of BTUs than volume. Most crafts are not regulated, As a result of these regulations, many homesteaders seek and need a circumvention technique. Fortunately, liberty-minded people tend to be more creative than bureaucrats and are coming up with techniques to circumvent rather than comply.” – Joel Salatin

3 Credit Card Shaped EDC Items That Fit in Your Wallet – “Sometimes when you walk out the door you are going somewhere that discretion is a must when it comes to EDC gear.

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

Run away-ay with me
Lost souls in revelry
Running wild and running free
Two kids, you and me

And I said hey
Hey, hey, hey
Living like we’re renegades
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Living like we’re renegades
Renegades, renegades

Long live the pioneers
Rebels and mutineers
Go forth and have no fear
Come close and lend an ear

And I said hey
Hey, hey, hey
Living like we’re renegades
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Living like we’re renegades
Renegades, renegades

So, all hail the underdogs
All hail the new kids
All hail the outlaws
Spielbergs and Kubricks

It’s our time to make a move
It’s our time to make amends
It’s our time to break the rules
Let’s begin…

And I said hey
Hey, hey, hey
Living like we’re renegades
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Living like we’re renegades
Renegades, renegades

THE BIG PICTURE

A Murderous Cult Run by a Murderous Cult Run by a Murderous Cult – “All funded by people who hate Americans, America and freedom, The sight of the bloated oleaginous Prince Charles at the White House this week was meant to reassure us that God was in his heaven and all was right with the world. But he was here, as is his reason for going anywhere, to assert his position as King of the World, or the E.U., the U.N. the World Economic Forum, the Defender of Faiths or however he styles himself to himself this week, and to make sure that the torrent of American money keeps filling up European coffers so they can continue to throw it at fake problems like their endless war against Russia, “climate change” and its devil spawn, DEI, ESG, mass migration and the elimination of uppity whites.” – Elizabeth Nickson

The WHCD Shooting Was Fake and Staged – New World Next Week (VIDEO) – “This week on New World Next Week: the latest shooting theatre was fake and staged; your car is now a surveillance machine; and Professor Corgan reveals the truth about value.” – James Corbett

You Paid Into Social Security for Fifty Years. Trump Just Told You He Spent It. – “The billionaire class waged a war on behalf of a foreign government and sent you the bill. Your MAGA hat is not going to cover it. You worked for fifty years. You got up before dawn in a steel plant, a warehouse, a factory floor, a job site, places where your body was the machine and the machine did not care about your back or your knees or your lungs. You paid into Social Security every single paycheck for decades, which, if you are doing the math, is a LOT of paychecks. You were told, explicitly and repeatedly, by every president and every politician of every party for your entire adult life, that this money was yours. Held in trust. A sacred compact between the American worker and the country that worker built with their hands. So you are probably wondering what happened to it.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

Stanford Biosecurity Expert Says AI Chatbot Gave Him a Blueprint for Genocidal Bioweapon, Including Step-by-Step Instructions for Modifying Deadly Pathogen and Conducting Mass Transit Attack – Cassandra MacDonald

‘Major Win’: House Strips Pesticide Liability Shield From Farm Bill in Bipartisan Vote – “The U.S. House voted 280-142 today to remove language that would have limited lawsuits against pesticide makers. The vote marked a significant bipartisan rebuke of industry-backed protections. “I do not support giving blanket immunity to corporations at the expense of American families,” said Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, who co-authored the amendment to preserve states’ authority over pesticide labeling and safety standards.” – Jill Erzen  – DIDN’T THINK THAT WOULD GO THROUGH. FOR ONCE THEY DID SOMETHING RIGHT!!!

Workers of the World, Disunite! – “May Day moaners, raised fist emojis, and shopworn sloganeering… ¡Viva la Revolución! Yes, dear reader, it’s time to dust off your portable Marx reader, don your favorite Che Guevara t-shirt, select the “raised fist emoji” on your profile settings, and follow that familiar smell to the nearest protest march! Welcome to another installment of May Day, the world’s longest running grievance swap meet, where the “Workers of the World” come together to celebrate their cause by doing what they do best: bravely taking the day off.” – Joel Bowman

Climate Lockdown: US Oil Exports Surge To Record High As Gas Prices Rise And Trump Still Hasn’t Refilled Strategic Reserve, While UAE Leaves OPEC Causing Further Disruptions -“The United States has been insulated so far.

The Great Retreat from Germany – “5000 Troops on the Move, News out of the Pentagon is that the great retreat from Germany is beginning. Five thousand U.S. troops are being withdrawn at the request of a petulant president who can’t stand criticism of his disastrous war of choice with Iran. (Then again, maybe it wasn’t a war of choice, as it appears his commander-in-chief, Bibi Netanyahu, gave him none.) Other countries to have annoyed Trump include Spain and Italy. In Trump’s words: “Italy has not been of any help to us and Spain has been horrible, absolutely horrible.”” – Bill Astore

The Warmongering WSJ Editorial Board Now Sounds Just Like Trump – “Apparently, losing less than the rest of the world is winning.” – Mish

Donald Trump Says US Will Take Over Cuba ‘Almost Immediately’. – “President Donald Trump said Friday during remarks in Florida that the United States would take over Cuba “almost immediately,” suggesting an aircraft carrier could be positioned offshore after the conflict in Iran. The comments came the same day Trump signed an executive order significantly expanding U.S. sanctions on the Cuban government and its affiliates. While the president’s comments appeared partly joking, they followed concrete policy action in the form of broadened sanctions.” – Sam Stevenson  – HIGHLY DOUBT HE WAS JOKING!!!!!

Trump Issues Letter Rejecting Congressional Oversight For War, Citing Ceasefire Has ‘Terminated’ Hostilities – “President also meanwhile rejects latest Iran proposal: “not satisfied”…” – Tyler Durden

DOJ Probes 36 Illinois School Districts Over Sexual Orientation Content in Pre-K–12 Classes – “The department will investigate whether parents are notified about their right to opt out children from gender ideology topics.” – Naveen Athrappully

Elizabeth Warren Killed Spirit Airlines and Now She’s Complaining About It – “Sen. Elizabeth Warren, in partnership with former Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg and President Joe Biden are the ones with Spirit Airlines’ blood on their hands after working tirelessly to block the merger of the budget airline with JetBlue. Now that the company is dead, the hyper-progressive Democrat wants to complain about the lack of competition in the air travel industry.” – Joseph Chalfant

Ad absurdly suggests Miller-Meeks led charge for “less expensive health care”- “Lately, you haven’t been able to turn on the TV without hearing how great Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks is. The American Action Network, a special interest group with ties to the U.S. House Republican leadership, has been blanketing area TV stations and online outlets with ads that claim Miller-Meeks, the member of Congress for Iowa’s first district, “led the charge for high-quality, less expensive health care, especially for rural Iowans.” Then they say that we should “thank her for delivering for all of us.” Miller-Meeks is faltering as a fiscal conservative, according to conservative groups. Her actions in Congress actually raised health care costs. She supported tariffs that are hurting US factory growth. Those tariffs also cost US families $1,000 apiece last year, according to the Tax Foundation. They’ll cost families another $600 this year. She also boasted about helping to author a supply chain grant program in an agency Trump tried to eliminate. Yet, she claims she is working side by side with the president, even as the administration has failed to publish any guidance for the program. Somebody should create a TV ad laying out this record. It probably won’t help Miller-Meeks get re-elected, but it would be more honest.” – Ed Tibbetts  –  A PRIME EXAMPLE OF POLITICA PROPAGANDA IN IOWA, AND I’M SURE THE SAME “BS” HAPPENS IN EVERY STATE!!!!!!!!!!

Seattle’s Socialist Mayor Gives a Master Class – on How Not to Respond in an Interview – “Washington State just passed a “millionaires tax” in April. When Seattle’s socialist mayor Katie Wilson was asked about it, she said she thought the fear people might leave the state over was overblown, but if they left, “Bye!”” – Nick Arama

Syrian gets just six months in jail for raping 13-year-old Norwegian girl after court cites his low IQ – “The court finds that it must be emphasized that the defendant is most likely no further along in development than the victim, and that he appears to have a reduced understanding of reality” -Thomas Brooke

Trump Moves Closer to Final ‘Blowout’ Hail-Mary Against Iran, as Outlets Report Total US Regional Wipeout – “It seems each passing day begins with some new revelations of the true scale of Iran’s damage against US in the brief conflict. This is natural, of course, given that the immediate M.O. is to always downplay any losses for the “invincible” US military machine. It’s scary to think what we’ll learn as time passes, particularly on the touchy subject of US human losses. The latest report was brought by CNN, which shared a segment about how 16 US bases were emptied and heavily damaged by attacks which were “much more sophisticated” than previously thought or anticipated:” – Simplicius

 

 

 

ECONOMIC NEWS

An Evening Out at Taco Bell – “If you were around in the ’90s, you probably saw Demolition Man. It starred Sylvester Stallone and Sandra Bullock and depicted a future in which – among other things – the most extravagant luxury was an evening out at Taco Bell. Well, we experienced our own version of this extravagant luxury the other night. At Burger King. It was late, we were tired and so – for the first time in years – we rolled up to the order window at a fast food drive-through. We ordered two “Whoppers” with (allegedly) cheese. I place the name of this hamburger in air fingers quotes because if it is a “Whopper,” then my understanding of this word requires correction. What came through the drive-through window was a bag containing two very modest-looking hamburgers; hardly “Whoppers.” The patty was a sad-looking disc maybe a fourth-of-an-inch thick, salted like beef jerky and almost as leathery. There was a piece of flaccid lettuce, a tasteless tomato and two little pickle slices about the size of a penny. The buns were the biggest component of the “Whopper.” Maybe the word refers to the price. This would make more sense. Those two “Whoppers” cost $15. No fries. No drinks. Fifteen bucks for two sad-looking “Whoppers” that were, by my reckoning, about the same size – the patties, for sure – as you used to get when you ordered a kid’s-size cheeseburger and paid maybe a buck for it.” – Eric Peters

Inflation in the Entire US economy Is Rocking and Rolling, and It’s Not Just Energy – “The 6-month core services PCE inflation index, accelerating since August, hit 3.7% annualized. Chip prices and software wreak havoc amid consumer electronics.” – Wolf Richter

Liquidity At Any Cost – “Over the last few years, it appeared that the Federal Reserve was finally attempting to get its house in order. After the insane pandemic-era peaks, where its balance sheet ballooned to over $8.9 trillion, the central bank spent years on a steady program of balance sheet reduction. Through a process called Quantitative Tightening (QT), the Fed allowed bonds to roll off the books without replacing them. It successfully shrank its balance sheet to about $6.5 trillion by December 2025. But if you’ve been watching the Fed’s balance sheet lately, the trend has pulled a U-turn.” – MN Gordon

UK Retail Sector Collapse – “Britain’s retail sector has just posted the worst collapse in sales in more than 40 years, and this is precisely the type of economic deterioration our models have been warning would emerge across Europe into 2028. ” – Martin Armstrong

Now It’s JPMorgan’s Turn to Say the Oil Math Is Wrong – “Time to lace up those oil-trading boots!!! Natasha Kaneva at JPMorgan Chase is not writing research; she is running a countdown She has already mapped the point where Gulf disruption stops being a routing issue and starts forcing real shut-ins, and once that line is crossed, you are no longer trading delayed barrels, you are trading permanent damage to the supply curve Then she hits the part the market keeps missing. The shock does not land all at once; it travels Different tanker speeds mean different arrival times, so the oil shockwave rolls basin by basin, not screen by screen. Asia tightens before Europe, Atlantic lags until it does not, and by the time it shows up clean in Brent, the squeeze is already in motion. She’s not just flagging stress, she is laying out the full arc of how this breaks She starts with the uncomfortable truth that unless flows snap back to pre-war normal, the market is heading into forced demand destruction,” – Stephen Innes

Is This Rally A Bull Trap?? (VIDEO) with Lance Roberts – “After the best month for stocks in six years, the market is in ‘very overbought’ territory in the near term and ripe for a pullback warns portfolio manager Lance Roberts. We talk about the odds for that, plus the violent recovery in the Mag 7, the boom in oil & gas earnings, the promise & dangers of AI to the economy & society, ” – Adam Taggart | Thoughtful Money®

The Grid Doesn’t Need To Control You… Just Your Basic Assumptions – “I’ve been saying for the last couple of weeks that most folks think they’re off the grid because they bought a few panels, stacked some firewood, and planted a garden. But here’s the uncomfortable truth… if someone can still predict what you believe, what you fear, and how you’ll react… you’re not off the grid. You’re just running a different power source. Because the real grid isn’t in the wires. It’s in your head.” – Bill Heid

Pierre Poilievre JAW DROPPING Speech Leaves House SPEECHLESS! (VIDEO) – House Of Canada  – GOOD  VIDEO FROM MR. POILIEVRE. DOESN’T JUST APPLY TO CANADA, APPLIES HERE, THE U.K AND ELSEWHERE AS WELL!!!!!

IN A SPIN Ed Miliband to ban traditional tumble dryers in net zero drive branded ‘utter madness’ and ‘Soviet levels of control’ -“The Energy Secretary is introducing new laws that will phase out the sale of condenser tumble dryers and replace them and promote heat pump alternatives instead. The move has sparked fury from opposing parties, with Claire Coutinho, the shadow energy secretary, branding it as “soviet levels of control,” the Telegraph has reported. Meanwhile, Richard Tice, Reform UK’s business, trade and energy secretary, told the outlet it was “tone deaf”. “This new ludicrous move will not only push bills even higher in the short term, but it will also take longer to dry clothes and come with a huge fire risk. “At a time when families are struggling with household costs, Labour is choosing to focus on tone-deaf green ideologies rather than listening to what the public want,” he added.” – Laura McGuire

Energy Lockdowns and the New Era of Government Control – Doug Casey

Trump Surgeon General Pick Dr. Saphier Repeatedly Instructed Americans to Take COVID-19 Shot – “One of the most death-linked drugs in modern U.S. history” – .JonFleetwood

THE TEN-DAY COUNTDOWN: “Please Delete This Email” — How Fauci’s Own Words May Seal His Fate – ““Please delete this email after you read it.” Those six words, written by Anthony Fauci to NIH Director Francis Collins in February 2021, may have sealed his fate. Not because they conclusively establish wrongdoing—but because of what followed when those emails were addressed under oath in June 2024.¹” – Sayer Ji

Mexico And President Claudio Sheinbaum Announce Phase-Out Of Cash By End Of 2026 To Pay For Gas And Toll Booths, Forces Mandatory Digital ID Or Citizens Lose Their Phones – “In the case of gas stations and booths, there we do want it to be mandatory that the payment is always digital. And it will help everyone.” – The WinePress

Air Force Snaps Up Powerus Interceptor Drones By Barratt Dewey – “The Pentagon is buying counter-drone technology for “real-world operational use” from a startup, but maybe not from one we’d expect. Yesterday, West Palm Beach, Florida-based drone company Powerus announced a deal with the US Air Force to supply interceptor drones “at scale,” co-founder and president Brett Velicovich told Tectonic. He couldn’t comment on the contract details, but said the “end customer is within the US Air Force Special Operations community.”” – Barratt Dewey  – HMM, BOTH OLDER TRUMP BROTHERS BECAME MAJOR INVESTORS IN MARCH. IMAGINE THAT!!!

 

 

 

NEWS

NOW DO MARK LEVIN – “They hate Tucker Carlson and declare him an enemy of truth and according to Trumpenstein he is very low IQ. It seems the American public disagrees, as his shows get 57 million viewers per episode. Meanwhile, Trump’s zionest butt buddy Mark Levin gets between 1 million and 1.5 million brainless boomer viewers per episode. I guess that is WINNING in Trump’s world of delusion.” – Jim Quinn

Indictment-O-Rama – “You might be pleased to know that today’s May Day street actions — rallies, marches, teach-ins, walkouts, demonstrations, and a broad economic blackout (”No Work, No School, No Shopping”) — planned and coordinated by hundreds of activist orgs, is styling itself as “Workers Over Billionaires.” How do they figure that, exactly, considering the Lefty-left Resistance movement is entirely funded by. . . billionaires? You know. . . George and Alex Soros (the Open Society Foundations), etc.. Some 3,000-plus actions are planned today in cities all over the country. Also, this week, interesting developments in the Lefty-left’s retirement clubhouse. The law (the DOJ’s Eastern District of North Carolina) finally caught up with Jim Comey’s prank of one year ago when he posted on Instagram a curious arrangement of seashells on a Carolina beach saying “86 47.” The cryptic message — “cool shell formation,” Mr. Comey said in the caption — was universally understood to mean get rid of the forty-seventh POTUS, Donald Trump.” – James Howard Kunstler

The Extreme Hypocrisy of Arrogant Americans Concerning Immigration – “As is evident today, most all Americans would prefer it seems, to not allow anyone the ability to come here, raise families, and work. Of course, these attitudes are based on long-term indoctrination, propaganda, and lies, all meant to cause mass division and hatred. Most of the hate, at least initially, was aimed at those below the southern border, Mexicans in particular. What is so astonishing about this, is that if accurate history about U.S. aggression was known by this population, maybe things would never have gotten to such an horrendous state, and a more harmonious situation would have been the result. Without having to give a long and detailed history lesson here, let us look at what happened in the past, and clarify the situation so that a better understanding of naked U.S. aggression and land and territory theft is known. After all, this country has committed aggressive war for 94% of its entire history.” – Gary D. Barnett

Trump Slaps New May Day Sanctions on Cuban Regime – Ward Clark

DoD Secretary Hegseth Faces Impeachment. Putin Offers A Solution – “The US Department of War Secretary is making a mockery out of himself, Trump and America. The claim that the US needs to be assured that Iran will never have nuclear capability has no answer when asked ‘how’. How can Hegseth be assured they will never have nuclear expertise? Short answer – they can’t. Patel tells the world it took him and the entire FBI nearly a year to analyze the shells in the sand. Embarrassing the FBI, the Federal Government, and President Trump. Treasury Secretary Bessent boasts about the theft of $500 million in Iranian crypto – but where is it? Is it on the Treasuries daily account of receipts? No” – Helena Glass – HELENA’S UPDATE ON THE CRAZY GOVERNMENT!!!!

A Few of the Reasons Why I Won’t Bash Trump Voters for Being Suckers – “I’ve been a sucker a few times myself, you see.” – Ohio Barbarian

The Frat Boy, the Killbots, and a Ballroom That Definitely Is Not a Bunker – “Trump’s White House Is Too Stupid to Be in Charge of America’s AI Policy. Donald Trump is the dumbest man who has ever sat in the Oval Office. His own former Chief of Staff, a four-star Marine general, called him “the most flawed person” the general had ever met. The ghostwriter of his only famous book has gone on the record saying Trump never finished reading one. He is 79 years old. He does not use a computer. He once asked his generals whether the U.S. military could nuke a hurricane to make it stop moving. He believes “the cyber” is a single thing, like Cleveland. He is a frat boy rich kid who was handed his father’s real estate company in his twenties and has been told he is a genius every day since. And he thinks AI is going to make him king of America. He may be right.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

April 2026 homicides – “For April 2026, I found 22 black-on-white homicides through the third week of the month and another eight signifant reports including updates and notable homicides, such as the slaying of Kelsey Grammer’s dad in April, 1968.Meanwhile, I asked grok.com to compile statistics on black violence in the USA. It rendered the following: Black Americans, who comprise approximately 13-14% of the U.S. population, are disproportionately represented in both arrests for and perpetration of violent crimes, according to data from the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program and the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS). ” – Kenn Gividen  – AND AS USUAL NONE OF THIS IS REPORTED BY THE MSM AS IT DOESN’T FIT THEIR NARRATIVE!!!

The UAE power play – “After OPEC and OPEC+, the UAE may leave the Arab League and even the GCC. So MbZ – the sole owner of the UAE – decided to quit OPEC and OPEC+. Epstein Syndicate minions are billing it as a sophisticated New Energy Order play. Not really. At face value, the move is sound. The UAE spent a fortune boosting its production capacity to 5 million barrels of oil a day. Yet under OPEC+ rules, their quota was much lower, hovering around 3.4 million barrels a day. So they went all out for monetization. Now, in theory, they can sell as much as they want, and as much as demand from Asian customers such as China, Japan and India remains high.” – Pepe Escobar

Trump’s Neo-Reagan Doctrine Is Rolling Back Russian Influence Across The World – “Absent a deal with Trump, which Putin could be further induced to agree to if Trump promises to reduce US pressure on some – but not all – of these countries, Russia might lose all 15 of these partners (and possibly even more) with time.” – Andrew Korybko

Water, Power, and Geopolitics: Zionist Israeli Ambitions and the Hydro-politics of Southern Lebanon – “Lebanon’s rivers are more than lifelines; they lie at the heart of a long-standing struggle shaped by external ambition. From the Litani to the Wazzani, the Israeli entity’s efforts to dominate regional water reveal a deeper reality: control over southern Lebanon’s water has been pursued as power, not necessity. Water has long shaped the politics of the Middle East, but in Lebanon, it is becoming something more: a fault line of power, pressure, and persistent external interest.” – Dr Marwa Osman

Americans Are Feeling Intense Pressure from Inflation and a Deep Loss of Control over their Own Lives – “Ninety percent of Americans feel the nation is in an affordability crisis—the new catch phrase for endless above-target inflation, which has become the new norm. The new norm, however, was just reported as getting wore, rising to 3.5% YoY inflation. The rise was due to the war and particularly fuel prices. A third of Americans feel the crisis is existential now—as in they worry about whether they will continue to exist if it keeps going on like this.” – David Haggith

March PCE: Energy Price Inflation Is Real – “Other Inflation Not So Much. Energy Rose, But Food Fell. Headline inflation surged in March because energy price inflation surged—that much is obvious. With oil prices up 33% on the month, how could energy prices not surge? With food prices having shown inflation through the winter months, seeing the food subindex decline is a welcome change.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Comex silver grinds to a halt – “With open interest down to multidecade lows, trading in silver is the risk no one is prepared to take. Market-makers make wide prices and speculators are not prepared to play. Open interest in both gold and silver Comex contracts is extremely low, as we explain in this report. And it should be borne in mind that current levels of open interest represent very oversold markets ripe for a bear squeeze. With its enormous volatility, Comex silver is an excellent counter for a market maker to trade. But they are trying to close it down. The reason is simple. Even with less than 100,000 contracts open interest, the short side is an unacceptable risk.” -· Alasdair Macleod

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

A Brief But Very Serious Word of Warning on AI – “I’m the founder and Senior Editor of SurvivalBlog. Unlike the editors of many other preparedness blogs and vlogs, I try not be an alarmist. However, some recent revelations about generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications autonomously breaking through firewalls, showing signs of self-awareness and self-preservation “instinct”, scheming blackmail, and surreptitiously mining cryptocurrencies now have me feeling quite alarmed. I fear that perhaps within months an AI will go fully rogue,” – James Wesley Rawles  – WHEN JAMES WRITES SOMETHING, I GENERALLY LISTEN!!!!!!!!

How To Stretch For A Hard Day Of Farm Work – “Why That 30-Second Routine Isn’t Helping… And What Actually Works When Your Body Has Real Work to Do If you’ve spent years stretching before heading out to the barn… before throwing hay… before bending into rows of soil… You probably think you’re doing your body a favor. But here’s the hard truth. That quick 30-second stretch you’ve been doing? It’s not just ineffective. It may actually be working against you.” – Bill Heid

“Greatest Energy Crisis in History” – “Two months into the Iran war, the Wall Street Journal reports that over 50 countries have now implemented emergency measures. Some are rationing fuel. Some are giving cash handouts so the poor don’t riot. Some are closing universities, closing factories, or mandating work from home just like Covid. Europe lost 75% of its jet fuel — cancelling flights in the all-important tourism season. Australia’s down to 30 days of jet fuel before it cuts off like a giant Robinson Crusoe with kangaroos. In India you can’t cremate with gas — you gotta use firewood or break up the furniture to see dear uncle Sanjeet to the next world. Note this is all with a global release of 400 million barrels of strategic reserve — replacing about half of lost supply from Iran. In other words, whatever we’re seeing now, it goes Mad Max when the reserves run out.” – Peter St Onge

Why You Should Store Dry Pasta in PVC Pipes, Not Mylar Bags – “If you’ve been prepping food for long-term storage, you’ve probably seen mylar bags recommended everywhere. They’re the default answer on forums, YouTube channels, and prepper blogs. And for a lot of foods, they work fine. But when it comes to dry pasta specifically, there’s a better option that most people overlook. This isn’t about being contrarian or doing things differently for the sake of it. PVC pipes solve real problems that mylar bags create when you’re storing pasta shapes long-term.” – Olivia Brooks

THE BIG PICTURE

Unemployed USAID LinkedIn Flexing – “USAID commissars fired by DOGE shed tears with NYT, schadenfreude ensues. Last week, The New York Times published a sob story called “A Year After U.S.A.I.D.’s Death, Fired Workers Find Few Jobs and Much Loss. Predictably, every person featured in the story is a LinkedIn flexer. I have screenshotted their elite human capital profiles along with spicy commentary on the NYT article below. Several patterns emerge: They all have multiple useless degrees, likely subsidized by taxpayers. None of them have the self awareness to realize that they are unemployable and wasted decades on bullshit jobs that served no purpose other than lining their pockets with our money” – Yuri Bezmenov  – GOOD ONE FROM YURI ONCE AGAIN!!!!

Another Fake Israeli Trump Assassination Attempt (Cole Allen) (VIDEO) – “This 3rd fake Trump assassination attempt on April 25th 2026, another Israeli-orchestrated event, was likely planned to divert further attention away from the coming technocracy and to a lesser extent the Epstein Files while there is a lull in the Iran War.” – Makia Freeman – MAKIA COVERS A LOT OF GOOD POINTS IN THIS VIDEO!!!!

We live in the fakest timeline ever (VIDEO) – 51-49 with James Li

You’re Paying for Trump’s Ballroom – “That night, a man fired a gun at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. By Sunday morning, before the country had finished breakfast, the Acting Attorney General of the United States posted four words on X. It’s time to build the ballroom. The Department of Justice does not produce letters like that in twelve hours. It does not move that fast on a regular Tuesday afternoon when everyone is at their desks and caffeinated. The letter was sitting in a folder somewhere, finished, vetted, ready, waiting for any plausible occasion to be sent. Saturday night was the occasion. The fountain story was the reason. Once you see that, you cannot un-see it. The question that follows is the only question that matters: why on earth would the entire weight of the Department of Justice be deployed on a Sunday morning, on twelve hours notice, with a pre-written argument unlocked by a security incident, to protect a building the President himself describes as a cover for the actual project.” – Audrey Henson / The Drey Dossier

Trump Administration Moves To Censor Speech And Posts On Social Media Following Staged Assassination Attempt – “Clearly the administration is going to use this to start clamping down once again on social media and restricting what we can and cannot say, and what we can read and watch.” – The WinePress

Cole Allen Hated the Democratic Party, Too – “Alleged shooter’s views are more mainstream than you’ve been told” – Ken Klippenstein

The Correspondents’ Dinner Shooting, Time Travel, and Solomon’s Temple: Conspiracy Roundup – “The online fallout from the Correspondent’s Dinner shooting has been an epic national Rorschach Test. False flag, sure — but for what purpose? Obviously, to catalyze support for the ever-important White House ballroom. Critics not only theorized the shooting was orchestrated to force the ballroom project, but that the construction was linked to — you guessed it — the Mossad. Allen was also said to be seen in old photos wearing an Israeli Defense Forces sweatshirt. Asked @NotOpCue: Why Did Cole Allen Have The Same Sweater As MOSSAD Pedophile Trafficker Jeffrey Epstein?” – Caden Olson – SWEATSHIRT/SWEATER PICTURE OBVIOUSLY AI, HAVE ALREADY SEEN TWO VERSIONS OF THIS PHOTO, ONE WHERE HE IS FLASHING A PEACE SIGN AND EMBLEM IS PARTIALLY COVERED, THE OTHE HAS A TOTALLY UNCOVERED EMBLEM AND NO HAND FLASHING THE PEACE SIGN!!!

Is Anyone Responsible for the WHCD Shooting Other Than the Shooter Himself? – “In the American tradition — legal and cultural — only those who commit violence are culpable, not those who express views that align with its perpetrators.While this framework of culpability may be understandable or appealing at first glance, it has an ugly and dangerous history. Every political faction has used it in an attempt to silence what are otherwise constitutionally protected ideas by conflating them with violence (“words are violence”). ” – Glenn Greenwald

WHAT DOES CHINA KNOW ABOUT EMFs? – “Obviously a lot more than we give them credit for!” – Frances Leader

Top Fauci Advisor Indicted in First Criminal Prosecution Against a Senior COVID Official – “David Morens criminally charged with hiding emails, destroying records, and evading transparency laws to shape the COVID “natural origins” narrative” – Nicolas Hulscher, MPH

Bibi’s Big Lie And Why Pluto Didn’t Bark In Tehran – “Well, it bears repeating. Again. The Iranians never had a nuke, had no near-term prospect of weaponizing their enriched uranium stockpiles, were not hell-bent on blowing up the world and were not two weeks from anything other than still another wolf-crying episode from the one actual “crazy” leader in the middle east. That would be Bibi Netanyahu. Hands down. But those truths did not stop the Donald from blatant lying and fear-mongering yet again today. And to even go so far as to imply that he has the mullahs by the short hairs.” – David Stockman

US Carrier Groups in Position for Next Round as Trump “Dissatisfied” With Iranian Demands – “Why is that ~300km range key? Because, those who read my breakdown of Iran’s anti-ship capabilities here will recall that Iran’s anti-ship ballistic missiles pretty much cap out at 300km range, which marks this as the exact distance that US carriers dare venture to near Iranian shores in order to stay just a hair’s length outside the envelop while still pretending to act ‘tough’ and show some kind of phony “resolve”. ” – Simplicius

Two Months of Senseless, Unnecessary War – “45 million people will be at risk of acute hunger if this keeps going into June.” – Daniel Larison

A Nation Divided: The Chilling Embrace of Political Violence in the United States – “We are seeing increasing support for violent action across social media, including those lamenting that the recent presidential assassination was not successful. Conservative sites have been featuring teachers and others who were upset that the recent effort failed, including one who has now lost her job. The current violence and violent rhetoric have been building for years as our leaders fuel the rage in the nation.” – Jonathan Turley

Trump’s Attorney General Attacks First Amendment – “The First Amendment protects unpopular, offensive, and hateful speech. Todd Blanche, Trump’s acting AG after he fired Pam Bondi, criticized millions of people on X and other social media for daring to take the president to task for his many breaches of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. During a news conference, the new AG included the non-assassination attempt on the president’s life and the now standard “manifesto” of the suspect released to the public to make the point somethng needs to be done about words the state considers terrorism.” – Kurt Nimmo

Why Trump is still supporting Kennedy…so far – “Because Kennedy’s name is KENNEDY, and Trump loves to be associated with prestigious names and people, particularly when he can play the dominant role.” – Jon Rappoport

UAE Leaves OPEC and OPEC+ in Huge Blow to the Cartel. What’s That Mean? – “The UAE decides that its best interests are leaving the group. Let’s discuss the implications.” – Mish

Chaos, Black Rain, Evacuations: Tuapse Oil Facility Struck For Third Time This Month – “One is left wondering, what about Russian defensive measures and why have these failed so spectacularly? First, it should be noted that small drones have become efficient and their size advantage is seen in evading conventional radar and anti-air missiles, by and large. TASS only has this to offer by way of official statement: “Intensive efforts are underway” to prevent Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory. The complex processes some 12 million metric tons of crude annually and remains a crucial and major export route for naphtha, fuel oil, and diesel.” – Tyler Durden

 

 

 

ECONOMIC NEWS

Productivity & Growth in America – An Economic Stagnation – “Big Pharma/Healthcare has become the defining industry driving America’s economy. In 2024, healthcare spending reached $5.3Trillion and employs over 18 million. It is the number two industry for spending and employment, second to the US Government. These two industries combined represent 28% to 30% of all US employment. They produce nothing of value to the economy, are both driven by sick people, and are the bulwarks and drivers of US growth.” – Helena Glass

55 Percent Of Americans Say That Their Financial Situations Are Getting Worse – That Is An All-Time Record High – Michael Snyder

Jamie Dimon warns of ‘some kind of bond crisis’ ahead as global debt risks build – “JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon on Tuesday warned that rising government debt levels could trigger a crisis in the bond market, urging policymakers to act before markets force their hand.” – Hugh Son

Welcome to the Silver War – “In which national interest trumps price. Silver is trending down this week. But that’s just the paper markets discouraging long futures contract holders from standing for delivery. Ignore it, because something much bigger is happening. China is on an epic silver buying spree.” – John Rubino

Title: Silver Is the Trade They Don’t Want You to Understand – “Silver doesn’t behave the way it “should.” That’s your first clue it’s not a normal market. One day war breaks out and silver drops. The next day ceasefire rumors hit and silver rallies. If you’re trying to trade headlines, you’re already behind the move. This is a pressure market, not a narrative market. Silver lives in two worlds at the same time. On one side you’ve got relentless industrial demand driven by AI infrastructure, solar expansion, and electrification. On the other side, you’ve got monetary demand that spikes during panic, distrust, and capital flight. Gold gets the attention, but silver is where the real stress builds.” – Kerry Lutz

The Day The Memecoin Dies – “It won’t be much longer. And they’ll all be vaporized at once. Memecoins are not businesses. They are not technologies in any meaningful sense. They produce nothing, fix nothing, and generate exactly zero in revenue unless you count the transfer of money from the last guy in to the guy just ahead of him. They are vapor. Digitized empty space. Financial air pockets passed hand to hand with a straight face, as if this is all perfectly rational behavior. And right now, it feels normal.” – Quoth the Raven

The Small Farm Secret Nobody Talks About: Why Miniature Donkeys Might Be the Best Decision You Ever Make – “There’s a moment most homesteaders hit sooner or later. You’re standing out by the fence, looking over your land, and you start wondering what animal actually fits your place—something manageable, affordable, and worth the effort. Now here’s the part most folks miss. Miniature donkeys might be exactly what you’ve been looking for. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.” – Bill Heid

There’s $1,000 Hiding in Your …. Right Now. Here’s How to Cash It – “The average American household has between $500 and $1,500 in unused electronics lying around the house. Not broken stuff – working devices that got replaced by something newer and then forgotten. Old laptops are one of the most common things people keep for no good reason. The thinking is usually something like “I might need it as a backup” or “there might be files on there I need.” In most cases, neither of those things is true, and the laptop has been sitting untouched for two or three years. A laptop that’s three to five years old and still works can be worth $75 to $300, depending on the brand and specs.” – Jack

The Power of Daily Rituals When the World Feels Unstable – “If you are a student of survival, I probably don’t have to tell you how important the psychological aspects of survival are. In all but the briefest survival ordeals, most of those who die, do so because they gave up. Once a survivor loses the psychological battle, the loss of the physiological war soon follows.” – Cache Valley Prepper

THE BIG PICTURE

Where Do the Big Name “Influencers” Really Get Their Money? And How Do Dubious Unknowns Suddenly Become Viral Sensations? (Part 1) – “Ever noticed how the most famous influencers have back stories that make zero sense?” – Anthony Colpo

A Special Forces Soldier Is Going to Prison for the Same Insider Betting Donald Trump Jr. Profits from Every Single Day – “Master Sergeant Gannon Ken Van Dyke Is Facing Five Federal Charges for Doing the Same Thing That Pays Donald Trump Jr.’s Bills. This isn’t a Democrat versus Republican story no matter how badly both sides want it to be. Nancy Pelosi has been caught so many times trading stocks in sectors she directly regulates that financial Twitter built an entire cottage industry around copying her portfolio, and her returns consistently beat the market in ways that would be statistically improbable for someone who wasn’t getting a little extra information with her morning briefing. The machine that lets Donald Trump Jr. profit from wars his father starts is the same machine that let Pelosi’s husband buy semiconductor stocks weeks before a semiconductor subsidy bill she helped pass landed on the president’s desk.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

America’s Relentless Descent into Paganism – “First slowly and then suddenly…” – Jim McCraigh

Coincidence… or Coordination? You Be the Judge. – “When the same ideas echo across decades, institutions, and policy… it’s time to start asking why. Fast forward to today, and that same way of thinking shows up in the language of governance. Terms like “public interest,” “greater good,” “managing growth,” and “long-term planning” are now standard across policy documents. These aren’t just buzzwords … they are the foundation used to guide decisions, justify restrictions, and balance individual rights with collective outcomes. But those words are not fixed. They are interpreted, expanded, and redefined over time. So the question becomes: who defines the “public interest”… and how much does that definition shift depending on who is in control?” – Connie Shields

How DMSO Heals the Brain and Transforms Neurology – “The extensive evidence behind DMSO’s ability to treat ‘incurable’ neurological diseases — and how to use it” – A Midwestern Doctor  – LONG AND A LITTLE SCIENTIFIC, BUT INTERESTING!!!

When 104 Cancer Diagnoses Become a Global Mandate: The HPV Vaccine Study the Media Won’t Tell You About – “A small retrospective cohort study out of Japan tracked one cancer type, found 104 cases, and was converted within 48 hours into a synchronized global headline claiming HPV vaccines “cut cancer risk in half” for boys. Here is what the study actually showed — and what the ceaseless amplification is designed to make you forget.” – Sayer Ji

America’s Largest Landowner Is Mapping And Digitizing Forests With AI, Creating A ‘Database Detailing Each Tree In The Forest’ – “The opportunity set here is really leveraging this new transformational technology to take all of that information and data and make everything we do better.” – The WinePress

New Government Data Confirms Multiple Major Cancers Surged in Young Americans During the Mass mRNA Injection Campaign (VIDEO) – “Epidemiologist Nicolas Hulscher Joins Carl Higbie on Newsmax” – Nicolas Hulscher, MPH

“We Have All The Cards”: Trump Cancels Witkoff-Kushner Trip To Pakistan For Iran Talks – “In a sharp reversal, Trump has personally canceled the Witkoff-Kushner trip to Pakistan. “They can call us anytime they want, but you’re not going to be making any more 18 hour flights to sit around talking about nothing’” ” – Tyler Durden

The Bloody Awful Waste of War – “Insanity on a Mass Scale. Iran’s forensics chief said nearly 3,400 people had been killed in the country since U.S.-Israeli strikes began Feb. 28. Almost 2,500 people have been killed in Lebanon, 32 have been killed in Gulf states, and 23 have died in Israel. Thirteen U.S. service members have been killed, and two more died of noncombat causes. I happen to believe Iranian lives are as valuable and precious as American lives. What gives the U.S. and Israeli governments the right to inflict such disproportionate casualties on Iran, on Lebanon, on Gaza?” – Bill Astore

An All-American Retort to Israel’s Invasion of Lebanon – “Israel’s bombing of Lebanon has reportedly killed more than a thousand civilians this year. Israel also drove out more than a half million civilians from southern Lebanon as part of an effort to commandeer that territory. Israel’s bombing has been so indiscriminate that even President Donald Trump objected. The attacks are reminiscent of Israel’s 2006 invasion of Lebanon, which also killed roughly a thousand civilians, as well as a few hundred Hezbollah fighters. With the W. Bush White House cheerleading all the way, The U.S. government has been perennially dragged into Lebanese quagmires since the Reagan era. It would be foolish to expect the Trump White House to consistently show either the wisdom or courage of some of Reagan’s policymakers long ago. I have the same recommendation now that I had in a 1987 USA Today piece opposing deployment of the U.S. Navy to the Persian Gulf: “This is not our war, and there is no profit in U.S. intervention.” GTFO remains the best Middle East policy for America.” – James Bovard

Trump’s “New Dawn for Cuba” Regime Change – “The administration figures Cuba will be an easier nut to crack than Iran. “There have been reports that the Pentagon is preparing for military action in Cuba. Are those reports true? Is Cuba next?” Trump was asked during an Air Force One flight on April 18. “Well, it depends on what your definition of military action is,” the president responded. Trump and Rubio point to Cuba’s failed economy while omitting the primary cause for the failure: a crushing US embargo, first imposed in 1958 following the Cuban revolution, ” – Kurt Nimmo

Still a failure: The City of London backs EU’s €90 billion Ukraine war-chest – “The conflict between member states and the EC may push the whole union to the breaking point.” – Joaquin Flores

Trump moves to bolster and ‘expedite’ death penalty for federal crimes, adding firing squads, electrocution, esphyxiation in ‘streamlined’ process – “There’s more to this story than what the corporate media is reporting and should be received in context of other changes the government has set in motion for future crackdowns on political disssent.” – Leo Hohmann

Why Do Democrats Hate America? – “Their business model runs on hate. Because Democrats rewrite history as effortlessly as normal people breathe air, they routinely fail to mention that no political party in the history of the United States has abused congressional districting more than the Democrat Party. Ah, yes, “standing up for democracy” requires Democrats to disenfranchise the roughly 50% of Virginians who are Republican by forcing them to have Democrat “representatives” in the House. When Obama says, “our democracy,” he means the Democrat Party’s undemocratic rule. ” – J.B. Shurk

When North Heads South – “Mamdani soaks the rich as their capital flows south… Take for instance the Ayatollah Zohran Mamdani, spiritual leader of the People’s Republic of New York City, for whom “soaking the rich” is as much a campaign slogan for the economically illiterate as it is a battle cry for his collectivist comrades-in-arms. In his latest piece of agit-prop, the Big Apple’s Redistributor in Chief is seen naming and shaming Citadel founder, Ken Griffin, for the unpardonable evil of… having lots of money. The video, released just in time for Tax Day, shows Mamdani gloating in front of Griffin’s private residence, “I’m thrilled to announce we’ve secured a pied-à-terre tax,” the 34-year-old Democratic socialist rejoiced. “The first in New York’s history.” In a Little Red Textbook case of “biting the hand that feeds,” Mamdani’s publicity stunt managed to incite the predictable ire of Mr. Griffin, whose “fair share” of the city’s tax burden just happens to be meaningfully weightier than most of the city’s denizens… … including the bottom 50% of taxpayers who, according to official records, pay essentially none of the income tax—and actually receive net benefits (that is, negative liability due to credits and transfers, a figure which jumps to 55-65% once you add in Medicaid, housing subsidies, SNAP, and other federal transfers).” – Joel Bowman – PRIME EXAMPLE OF PEOPLES’ MISCONCEPTION OF PEOPLE WHO MADE MONEY AND ARE NOW CONSIDERED WEALTHY PEOPLE AND THUS THEY SHOULD BE TAXED FURTHER. THESE WEALTHY PEOPLE ADD A LOT TO THE COMMUNITY AS THIS ARTICLE ILLUSTRATES!!!

Mississippi Bans Fake Milk to Support Human Health and Farmers – “Promoting cows and rural culture, not globalist venture capitalists.” – John Klar

Russia’s New Commemorative Day Honors The Soviet Victims Of The Nazis’ Genocides – “That was the primary reason why it was established, though it also serves political purposes, but these are in response to the West’s “war on historical memory” equating the USSR with Nazi Germany and blaming both for World War II.” – Andrew Korybko

By the look of the lofty stock market indexes, the American economy must be operating at full tilt. But what if the light investors are racing towards is not the promise of riches they’re expecting?

Not someone who freaks out in an emergency. Not someone given to exaggeration. He shook his head and said something I’ve been hearing more and more lately: “Nothing adds up anymore.” So I was surprised to hear him talking about his bills – because it sounded like he was sharing the same experiences as Birch Gold Group customers over the last five years: Same groceries, higher price at the register Same house, much higher insurance (rates went up 21% after the wildfires in one year alone) He went shopping for a used car for his son – and experienced comprehensive sticker shock Used vehicle prices are up 29% since 2020 (new cars are up 21%) Car insurance is up 56% over the same period.

THE BIG PICTURE

This So-Called ‘War’ Is a Fraud Meant Only to Force Chaos to Gain Control – “All war is based on deceit and lies, is rarely if ever defensive, with the exception of those countries aggressively attacked by the U.S. In the case of American wars, minus the South’s defense of its independence, all wars have been offensive and based on very nefarious agendas driven by banking and political desires.Yes, all U.S. wars are about gaining more power so as to control its own people. This long-planned, purposely plotted ‘war’ against Iran is based on this exact model, and will likely prove to be a successful coup in order to soon enslave this weak and indifferent society through previously tried and tested means. ” – Gary D. Barnett

Unfit to Govern: We Need a 25th Amendment for the American Police State – One week after posting a profanity-laced Easter message threatening to wipe out the entire civilization of Iran, Donald J. Trump, the 47th president of the United States, spent the night of April 12 and into the early morning hours unleashing a barrage of AI-generated images, threats and insults. Blasphemous. Profane. Threatening. Self-aggrandizing. These posts are not anomalies. They are part of a pattern—one that appears to be escalating. What was once dismissed as erratic now feels increasingly unhinged. What was once provocative now borders on delusional. What was once ego now approaches outright megalomania. Consider the trajectory.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

A Few More Conquests Like This, and the Empire Will Be Done For! – “The President’s account on TruthSocial is a noxious stew of misleading information, outright lies, and amoral imperialism. Last year’s “Donroe Doctrine” is a cheap snark of the 1800’s Monroe Doctrine, with no trace of the latter’s objective. This year, in addition to two new criminal wars of aggression and regime change, Trump’s contempt for real faith leads him to personally post images of himself as Christ, egged on by his deranged “spiritual” guide Paula White. When questioned about the now-deleted post, he lied saying it was a picture of himself as a doctor, making people better, something “he does a lot.” Like increasingly noticed US military capabilities, Trump’s lies are vapid and hollow.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

Dear American Tax Cattle – “A letter that every parent should give their children when they receive their first paycheck and file their first tax returns. Dear American Tax Cattle, Congratulations! You are now an American taxpayer. For the rest of your life, you will pay ~30% of your income to the federal government and ~10% more to state and local governments. That means in your 8-hour workday, everything you do before lunch goes to the government. In your 5-day work week, Monday and Tuesday goes to the government. For a year of your labor, January, February, March, April, and May goes to the government. If you somehow save enough money, you can buy a house. For the right to live your home, you must pay the government 1-3% of its value every year. Like all other taxes, if you don’t pay them you will be arrested at gunpoint and thrown in jail. Think of it like a mandatory Netflix subscription that is enforced with a monopoly on violence.” – Yuri Bezmenov

Commitment Always Defeats Plans – “The Eternal War never fucking ends! Not because the Responsibles keep drawing up smarter plans. Because the Resentfuls roll in every single day with nothing but raw, teeth-bared commitment. They don’t write white papers. They don’t wait for consensus. They hijack yours. Then they weld their agenda of guilt, envy, and chains straight into the guts of whatever you built.” – E.M. Burlingame

The madness of King Trump: Decoding 47 – “Trump has lost his mind. At least according to America’s most loved MAGA pundit influencers and politicians who have been attacking Trump all season, casting him as irredeemably insane in light of his apparent grotesque mutation or cooption as an unhinged warmonger subordinated to neoconservatives at home and to Likudnik Israel abroad. Gone are the days of peacemaking and unexpected diplomatic moves like the North Korea opening, rapprochement with Russia as a major and highlighted theme; moments that left progressive doves envious and exposed their own inability to deliver on the hopes they once placed in Obama. What happened to reindustrializing the country, affordable housing and healthcare, taking on the CIA and the globalists, and in short, ‘Making America Great Again’?” – Joaquin Flores

The Iranian inkblot part 2 – ” Some additional perspectives. i’m honestly not sure I’ve ever seen a disconnect like the Iran war in terms of the way so many people are looking at the same things and coming to such radically different conclusions and, to be brutally honest, in many cases flat out abandoning sense, core principles, and even basic discernment in their pursuit of wild, questionable conclusions. It feels like derangement.” – El Gato Malo

Unjust Wars The Catholic Church Takes a Stand. In the New York Times send-out this morning, the pope and president are described as “clashing.” That’s one way of putting it. Actually, the pope is arguing for peace and against war and the death of innocents while Trump has been railing about exterminating an entire civilization. A “clash” for sure.” – Bill Astore

Vance and the Uniparty Lack the Courage to Impeach Dementia Don – “Trump will remain in office until the democrats are a majority.” – Kurt Nimmo

American farmers fertilizer Trump risks war backlash from the heartland: American farmers – “Even if Gulf shipping reopens tomorrow, supply lags and energy costs are driving fertilizer and other input costs sky high — just in time for planting season” – Blaise Malley

MORE WAR: The War Powers of the Middle East ReArm to Have another Go at it – “Since Israel’s contribution to the ceasefire was to pummel Lebanon harder than ever before, Iran responded during negotiations by bombing a Saudi pipeline that serves as an alternative route for Saudi oil by transporting the oil over to the Red Sea, rather than out of Persian Gulf ports. That eliminated another 10% of Saudi Arabia’s oil capacity, taking yet more oil out of play for an extended time. Overall oil production from OPEC nations has fallen 27%.” – David Haggith

President Trump & Philip II of Spain: Unconstrained Executive Power – “Philip II’s 1588 misadventure to invade England with his Grand Armada was unconstrained by checks and balances within the Spanish state. Is President Trump any different?” – John Leake

Can US Oil Replace Strait of Hormuz? No. – “A brutal global reckoning remains imminent. Scroll through your social media feeds today, and you will find a dangerously pervasive delusion: the narrative that American oil production is going to swoop in and save the global economy. This myth did not materialize out of thin air. It bears the distinct fingerprints of political operatives desperate to spin a catastrophic war with Iran as an accidental (or masterful?) American triumph.” – Sarah Connor

Trump’s Blockade: Another Bluster Or The Real Agenda? (VIDEO) – Ryan Cristián

La Marxista: Mamdani Pledges to Open First City-Run Store with Projected $30 Million Initial Cost – “It will follow a long line of failed state-operated and city-operated stores. Chicago’s mayor, Brandon Johnson, also pledged such city-run stores. It is notable that the stores received such emphasis by Mamdani. It is not difficult to set up a grocery store, particularly when you run the city that approves permits and compliance conditions. It is not even difficult to set up a money-losing store as long as you have a city budget to pay for it. It is far more difficult to set up an independently sustainable store.” – Jonathan Turley

Irish Government on the Verge of Collapse Amid Massive Protests? – “The restless natives of the Emerald Isle, facing what would otherwise be universally recognized as an attempted genocide were they not white, have made their largest showing of defiance to date over the last couple of weeks.” – Ben Bartee

Syria Wants Russia To Compete With Ukraine For Its Loyalty – “Russia’s loss in this new competition could lead to the removal of its air and naval bases.” – Andrew Korybko

 

 

 

ECONOMIC NEWS

The Dollar As The Global Reserve Currency Is Wobbling Precariously – “As the Global Reserve Currency, the dollar dominance is directly correlated to perceived safety and security of the government, and the economy in relation to other dominant economies. Alternative currencies at this stage are not a threat, however, Trump’s Tariffs and Warring have created a wobble. A wobble in earth’s rotation creates fragmentation, a wobble in the global financial system can create a collapse.” -Helena Glass

The Dollar Isn’t Collapsing – It’s Being Replaced Slowly – “The U.S. dollar has been the world’s reserve currency (as the petrodollar) for decades now, but the current conflict in the Middle East seems to have accelerated the dedollarization trend. Now, I’m not talking about an immediate radical shift in how the world approaches the dollar. But I am talking about a clear and definite shift away from the dollar, a shift that didn’t start in the last few weeks.” – Peter Reagan

The U.S.-Iran war dealt a big blow to the global economy. The IMF tells us how bad it could get. – “The latest war illustrates how the international order remains under siege” – Jeffry Bartash

PPI Jumps by over 6% Month-to-Month Annualized for 3rd Month in a Row. Energy Price Spike just Latest Wrinkle – “The hit from energy in March was softened by food and services, which briefly backed off. In prior months, services were the driver.” – Wolf Richter

Europe and Asia fear that Trump’s Hormuz blockade will deepen the oil and gas shortage – “”The Persian Gulf is home to the world’s largest net exporter of crude oil (Saudi Arabia) and the third largest exporter of natural gas (Qatar). Faced with the sudden withdrawal of production from this region from the market—because ships cannot pass through the Strait of Hormuz—the 27 EU member states, and particularly Rome and Berlin, have been forced to pay a premium on their supplies for almost six weeks. In short, the bidding war for tankers and LNG carriers already en route has reignited, with ships changing course depending on who makes the highest bid. – Ignacio Fariza and Guillermo Abril

The Coming Copper Price Shock (v-VIDEO) Rick Rule – “We have under-invested in production for so long that “there’s nothing we can do” to avoid the copper price rising to the point where rationing begins,” – Adam Taggart | Thoughtful Money®

 

 

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Sounds That Give Away Your Location And How to Control Them When It Matters – “Most people go through their entire lives generating noise without a second thought. Your keys jangle against your hip, your jacket swishes with every step, your phone buzzes on a hard surface, and somewhere down the hall, your generator hums loud enough to wake the neighbors. In ordinary life, none of that matters much,but the moment you find yourself in a situation where staying undetected becomes a priority, whether that is moving through backcountry wilderness, maintaining operational security in a rural retreat setting, or simply wanting to understand how sound betrays position, all of that casual noise takes on a very different meaning.” – Bob Rodgers

Nature’s radiation shield has been sitting in plain sight for centuries. The Aztecs knew it. Soviet doctors proved it. Now it’s your turn. – “If Radioactive Fallout Were Falling Tomorrow… This Is the One Thing I’d Want in My Pantry” – Bill Heid

Almost 50% of Americans Cannot Afford Food. Will You Be Next? – “There’s a gut punch hiding in the latest numbers, and if you’ve been feeling the squeeze at the grocery store, you’re not the only one.” – Kate L. Gilmour

Freeze Dried Strawberries: How to Make, Store, and Use Them at Home – “Fresh strawberries are one of the best things about summer. They are also one of the most perishable crops you can grow or buy. A flat of strawberries picked at peak ripeness has maybe three days before it starts going south, and if you are growing your own, you know that the harvest does not come in conveniently. It comes all at once, faster than you can use it. Freeze drying solves that problem better than any other preservation method.” – Self-Sufficient Projects Staff
