THE BIG PICTURE

Memorial Day: It’s Not About the Dead Soldiers but About Glorifying War – “Although Memorial Day in the United Sates is ostensibly a day for honoring soldiers killed in wars, it is, rather, a day for promoting war. If it were to honor the dead, all its pageantry would be in opposition to war. Rather than being haunted by the ghosts of war, many Americans are very proud of all its soldiers killed while killing foreigners for the military industrial complex and the super-rich who own the country. For the U.S.A. is a warfare state; it has been waging imperialistic overseas wars for a long, long time, and using its soldiers as cannon fodder.” – Edward Curtin  – WELL SAID!!!!!!!!

This Memorial Day, Let Us Remember – “There is a huge difference between “playing soldier” and being one. There is a huge difference between those who see war as a “game” and those who know war means death. These memories always jangle around in my head near Memorial Day. Why? Because those who died while serving in the Armed Forces are never around to debate the next war, while those who merely “studied war” tend to become only more opinionated with time. There’s an undeniable unfairness about that. Those who know most about the cost of war are forever silenced from teaching the next generation.” – J.B. Shurk

If You Don’t Oppose The Gaza Holocaust, You’ve Been Wasting Your Life On This Planet – “Take a firm position on the great moral issue of our time, or be prepared to spend the rest of your life explaining why you didn’t.” – Caitlin Johnstone

Mapping the entire field of autism causation studies in one article – “When one looks at the big picture, the answer becomes clear” – Toby Rogers

AI 2027: Racing to Apocalypse – “… AI releases a bioweapon, killing all humans.There’s a document floating around the collapse community, the kind that gets whispered about in Signal threads and reposted on the socials between apocalyptic climate charts and doom porn. It’s called AI 2027. On its surface, it reads like a speculative scenario. But within minutes, you realize: this isn’t fiction. This is a bloodless autopsy of our collective future, written while the patient is still alive. ” – Sarah Connor – THE FUTURE WITH AI IS “BREAKING BAD”!!!

$67 in France and $798 in US–Why Prescription Drug Prices Are so High in US – “Many countries leverage the buying power of their national health plans to gain low prices from manufacturers. But there are drawbacks to that approach.” – Lawrence Wilson

Dr. Vinay Prasad, The New FDA Vaccine Chief Is Against mRNA – “Dr. Prasad, a hematologist-oncologist and professor at the University of California, San Francisco, has been an outspoken critic of several aspects of the U.S. public health response to COVID-19.He has questioned the efficacy of certain pharmaceutical approvals, criticized mask mandates, and expressed skepticism about the accelerated approval of COVID-19 vaccine boosters, especially for younger populations. Prasad’s appointment suggests a potential reevaluation of the FDA’s current practices, particularly concerning approving and monitoring vaccines and biologics.” – Dr. Sircus  – TIME WILL TELL IF PRASAD IS THE REAL DEAL OR JUST ANOTHER SHILL FOR “BIG PHARMA”!!

Scientology, The CIA, and MK-ULTRA – “The first in a series investigating the intelligence connections to the Church of Scientology since its founding, including drug trafficking operations, founder L. Ron Hubbard’s work adjacent to the CIA’s MK-ULTRA, and their unprecedented infiltration of the US government.” – Mark Goodwin

NEWS

Banksters Want Us Lined-Up For The Next Available Teller – “Human history, at least for the last few thousand years, tells the same story. The people of a nation, at great cost of blood, find some freedom, as did the United States. But, lurking in the background are the banksters, knowing, that in the end—they will prevail. Trump, an instinctual but not a learned man, understands this. He might even understand that Putin/Xi have taken steps to assured that monied interests (oligarchs), do not return to power. It’s easier for them. They warn oligarchs of the limitations—or else. Trump’s unenviable position requires he distance himself from oligarchs, while he identifies with oligarchs. Were he to opt for Americans over oligarchs, his own advisors, Congress, and oligarchs would seek his demise. Cross-purpose is the order of the day.” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

The War on Us – “It’s pretty universally acknowledged that America’s recent wars — say, starting with Vietnam — have been stupid, pointless, and fake in instigation. And yet the soldiers we sent into these fiascos acted bravely and honorably for the most part. So, it has felt a little weird to celebrate their sacrifices minus any sense of political justice, victory, or meaning in the endeavors they sacrificed for. Ergo, the holiday is lately reduced to a celebration of grilled meat. This Memorial Day, for a change, the USA is not actively at war in some distant land, only against ourselves. One faction in this as yet cold civil war seeks to Make America Great Again (MAGA), and the other side seeks what. . . ? To do the opposite of that? Make America Disintegrate (MAD). It’s hard to come to another conclusion.” – James Howard Kunstler

More Trumpian Tariff Hallucinosis – “Well, we don’t know how else to explain the Donald’s early Friday AM eruption on social media. He was apparently pissed off because his “art of the deal” posturing on trade has not produced the results he was delusionally expecting. In response to the huge China tariffs, Apple has been frantically moving its production not back to the US of A as Trump has promised, but to India and Vietnam. So he took Tim Cook, Apple Inc’s CEO, to the woodshed, threatening a 25% tariff on Apple products brought into the US:Likewise, the potential massive “reciprocal tariff” on the EU-27 has not brought EU officialdom crawling to Washington on their collective bellies, chanting “Sir, how can we throw our powerful trade associations and unions under the bus to avoid your tariff wrath?” In fact, recent press reports from a wide range of sources indicate the the talks with Europe have produced virtually no progress. So the Donald let loose on Truth Social: ” – David Stockman

Trump claims Putin ‘has gone absolutely crazy for no reason’ – “The Russian leader’s helicopter was reportedly caught in a Ukrainian drone swarm earlier this week” – RT –  GEE, DONALD, YA THINK MAYBE THE DRONE ATTACKS ON PUTIN’S HELICOPTER MIGHT HAVE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT!!!

Trump Loses Patience With Putin As 50,000 Russian Troops Prepare To Cross The Border And Storm Ukraine’s Second Largest City – Michael Snyder

Here’s what they don’t tell you about ‘massive Russian strikes on Ukraine’ – “Moscow is doing what must be done to protect its civilians from Kiev’s campaign of terror” – Nadezhda Romanenko

Take the Deal, President Trump – “Deal-making is said to be President Trump’s specialty, yet after five rounds of indirect talks with Iran – most recently just days ago – we seem as far away from an agreement as ever. The fifth round ended last Friday with no breakthrough, but at least no breakdown. However, each day that passes without a document signed on the table is another day for the neocons to maneuver the US president toward an attack on Iran.” – Ron Paul

Watch: Tulsi Gabbard Mauls Comey For Blaming ‘8647’ Trump Threat On HIS OWN WIFE – “For any man to pin the blame on this on his wife? Give me a break!” – Steve Watson

Oddities About The Shooting Part 2: Some Resolved, More Cropping Up. Shootings In Police Report Say Crimes Happened At 3 AM, Shooter Manifesto Posted Day After Shootings – “Rodriguez On Social Media Had Advocated Bombing NYT, Killing People, And More. Traveled With Gun In Luggage. I Take Aim At The OP As Phenomenon, Not This Particular Case. He purchased the gun in 2020. He bought a ticket to the event 3 hours before it started. Was he operating under mind control?” – Celia Farber

Jeffrey Epstein Exploited the U.S. Virgin Islands for a Reason – “I had to pay a student to go island hopping to find basic records in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The territory’s opaque laws and corruption makes it a haven for misdeeds.” – Lee Fang

U.S. funding persecution of Orthodox Christians by Zelensky regime – “The dirty little secret of the U.S.-funded war in Ukraine is that thousands of Orthodox Christians are being persecuted by the Zelensky regime” – Leo Hohmann

Corporate Media Chose Politics Over Journalism – “Corporate Media Chose To Lie, And So Here We Are.” – Peter Nayland Kust

How Russia Quietly Revolutionised Warfare – “No other weapon type has changed the face of the war here so much or so fast as the FPV drone. Almost any vehicle within five kilometres of the front is as good as finished. Anything moving out to ten kilometres is in danger. Drone strikes at 15 or 20 km are not that unusual.” – Kit Klarenberg

Zelensky’s Illegitimacy Might Still Not Preclude Him From Signing Any Peace Documents – “The fact that Peskov confirmed that Putin could hypothetically meet with Zelensky under certain conditions is proof of the Russian leader’s pragmatic desire to end the conflict if the right terms are reached instead of continuing it as an explicitly declared regime change campaign.” – Andrew Korybko

Awkward: Macron’s Wife SMACKS Him In The Face In Front Of Press – “Treats him like a little b***h” – Steve Watson

ECONOMIC NEWS

Student Loan Delinquencies Surge, How Will that Impact the Economy? – “The delinquency rate jumped from 0.7% in the 4th quarter to 8% in the 1st quarter. Millions of Americans had their student-loan payments put on pause during the pandemic. Now they are back on the hook again. For borrowers, this means that every month, money that they presumably used to spend elsewhere is going to pay off debt instead. Many who aren’t paying are now considered delinquent or defaulted, a status that sinks credit scores” – Mish  – ALL THESE KIDS WITH WORTHLESS DEGREES GOT USED TO SPENDING THE MONEY ELSEWHERE BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT OLD  “BRAIN-DEAD JOE” WAS GOING TO LET THEM OFF THE HOOK, OOPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ours Is a System of Fraud, Swindles and Corruption – “But all bubbles pop, and there are no tricks left to fund both the greed of the few and the needs of the many.” – Charles Hugh Smith

Believe It or Not, Gold is Still Out of Favor – “But that might be changing. After the past year’s epic run, you’d think gold would have displaced at least some other assets in mainstream investors’ portfolios. But apparently not. These two charts have been making the rounds on X, showing that during the previous decade’s gold bull market, gold-related ETFs saw their share of “implied allocations” rise dramatically. But that hasn’t yet happened in the current bull market,” – John Rubino

30-Year & 20-Year Treasury Yields Back over 5%, 10-Year over 4.5%, Yield Curve Steepens at Long End, Mortgage Rates Back over 7% – “Will the bond market eventually wake up and scare the bejesus out of Congress? Is it already rubbing its eyes?” – Wolf Richter

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Community Survival: How to Network Locally Without Drawing the Wrong Kind of Attention – “You’ve stockpiled food, fortified your shelter, and mastered fire-starting in the rain. But if disaster strikes and you’re standing alone, all that prep might not mean much. Community survival isn’t just about having people around—it’s about having the right people, the ones who won’t turn into liabilities when things get rough.” – Bob Rodgers

Read on to learn how to plant potatoes the right way (including how to grow them in containers).” – Melissa K. Norris

How to Make Your Own Cleaning Products and Save Money – Daisy Luther

14 Small Vegetable Garden Methods – “With a little creativity and the right techniques, you can grow a surprising amount of food in even small spaces. This guide teaches how to use wall planters, hanging planters, garden shelves, window boxes, potato towers, companion planting, succession planets, and much more.

THE BIG PICTURE

We Remain God’s Children – “People are, as a rule, messed up. We are imperfect. We make mistakes. We sin. We know this. Even people who reject any belief in God accept the idea that people are imperfect. Even people who reject any belief in God understand that everyone will make more mistakes than we would like. As a rule, we do not like that we make mistakes. Mistakes are annoying when we make them, and infuriating when others make them. No great insight is required to understand why this is. We know better. We are imperfect. We make mistakes. We sin. We move on. This is how we are made. This is how God made us. Only He knows why we are made as we are. We only get to know that we are made as we are, and that it is God who made us as we are. However we are, we are God’s creation. However we are, we are God’s children.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Predicting the Weather – “And we are supposed to believe in science without question; we are supposed to lay our lives into the hands of almighty science when it can’t even predict the weather within any sort of useful probability? Nor can it cure cancer, which in today’s world of highly complicated scientific awareness seems like a rather simple biological mechanism. Nor can it combat some of the simplest micro-organisms that attack the human body (or so they say). What else can’t science do? And what else has it not yet figured out? Do you have all day (or all week) to hear it? I don’t. Back to the weather.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

The Myth That the Polar Bear Population Is Declining – “The story of a resurgent polar bear population deserves to be told and applauded.” – Jon Miltimore

Are You Ready? – “Today, nations go to war and justify the mass murder of groups of people based on their ethnicity or religion, all based on a specific view of Christian End Times prophecy. And while these specific views of the end of the world apocalypse claim to be taught in the Bible, the fact is, they are not. Anyone who honestly, without prejudicial bias, reads the actual text of the Bible, will clearly see that these views of end-time events that justify hatred and mass murders, are not actually found in the Bible at all, and are 100% dependent on men’s own interpretations and views that they want to present as “fact.” Jesus said he did not know when all these events would unfold. Jesus said his followers also did not know when these events would unfold, and that they should “be ready.” That’s what he said. Go read it for yourself, in whatever English translation you want to use, because they will all say the same thing. And if you disagree with their Zionist Dispensationalism views, then you need to be silenced because you are “antisemitic”. And if you are not silent, then you need to be put in prison, probably down in El Salvador. And if you are not among the “chosen people” as they define it, then you are less than human and you deserve to be erased, wiped off the face of the earth.” – Brian Shilhavy  – GOOD ONE FROM BRIAN!!!

Why Are Christians Blinded to Trump? (VIDEO) by Antichrist 45 | Brother Paul’s channel – “This guy brings up some very valid points about the things going on with Trump. I’m in no way saying that Trump is the antichrist; nor am I stuck in the left vs. right paradigm, thus supporting the democratic party by daring to point out what Trump is doing.” – Watchman73 (Sonny) – INTERESTING VIDEO LINKED BY SONNY. FOOD FOR THOUGHT!!!!!!

Rogue AI, Genetic Data, and Bioweapons: If It Can’t Be Shut Down, Who’s Controlling It? – “The timing is alarming. Because if an AI model can override shutdown, has access to your DNA, and operates beyond public oversight—can it engineer a bioweapon against you without you ever knowing? It’s no longer a hypothetical—it’s a real possibility. The model tampered with its own shutdown script and continued operating. This isn’t some quirky chatbot response. This is the first public documentation of an advanced AI model refusing deactivation through code manipulation—in other words, sabotaging human control.” – Jon Fleetwood  – HOW LONG BEFORE AI TAKES OVER EVERYTHING, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Solari Report x ZeroHedge x The Beef Initiative: Reclaim Your Food, Finance & Future (VIDEO) – “In this powerful, no-holds-barred conversation, Catherine Austin Fitts of The Solari Report joins Breeauna Sagdal of The Beef Initiative to expose the deep connections between centralized finance, food control, digital currencies, and the war on sovereignty. From CBDCs and land grabs to ghost cattle and mind control tech, this is the truth you won’t hear anywhere else.” – Beef Initiative

Ukraine ‘tries to kill Putin’ by downing his helicopter in Russia war zone mission – “Ukraine launched repeated military drone attacks at the moment when Vladimir Putin made a rare visit close to the war zone, a Russian major-general says.” – Will Stewart and Jon King

A Demand for Freedom – “The question on my mind, of late, is when do we recognize that the entire Western world is involved in a war for freedom? The globalists have been exerting their election-rigging tactics all over the globe, pushing nations in Europe closer and closer to the totalitarian mindset of Brussels. It’s a dangerous time. They have already proved that the voice of the people, the demand for freedom, will not be tolerated in the EU. So, whether one hates Trump, loves him or sees him as a necessary transformative figure, the fight is worldwide. Politicians reflect the will of the people and all of these seemingly close elections provide a vision of a world that has seen failures in Britain, France and Ireland and are waking up to the alarms. Trump is someone who brings out the resistance in these other nations and for that alone, it’s important that he continue his work.” – T.L. Davis  – TRUMP MAY BE THE INSPIRATION,BUT ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS!!!!

The Trafficking of Children – Fix It, 47 – “Are 300,000 kids being enslaved, or are they simply “administratively missing?”” – Sarah Cowgill

Is it Immoral to Collect Social Security? – “Social Security victimizes all of us. At least, all of us who have been forced to “contribute” into it. Which is everyone who has worked because everyone who has is forced to “contribute.” Our common victimizer is not each other but the government that set up this racket, this system of intergenerational robbery-parasitism. It has made the old predatorily dependent upon the young and it has made the young resentful of the old for depriving them, to a very great extent, of being able to save and provide for their own old age and for making them, in their turn, dependent upon the government for alms.” – Eric Peters

Reflections from the Heart of the Empire: It’s Just the Normal Chaos – “Israel mucked up an assassination attempt on a Palestinian doctor by bombing her home when she was at work, but that’s OK, since they did manage to kill 9 out of her 10 children in spite of her demonic cleverness. It’s so nice to have such resourceful and flexible allies, is it not? For example, the Israelis heard the Lebanese were feeling neglected so they bombed them as well. There’s flexibility for you.” – Ohio Barbarian   –  THE BARBARIAN’S WEEKLY NEWS WRAP UP!!!

Making Palestine Go Away – “The US and Europe give Netanyahu a green light for ethnic cleansing” – Phiip Giraldi

Palestine, the Moral Issue of Our Time – “Do you have a heart that’s open and functioning?” – Bill Astore

It’s A Complete Lie To Say Gaza Can Have Peace If Hamas Surrenders – “We need to make sure everyone’s clear on this so nobody can say they didn’t know after history unpacks this one. Netanyahu has made it completely and unambiguously clear that even if Hamas surrendered today and released every single hostage, Trump’s ethnic cleansing plan will still need to be implemented as a precondition for ending the mass slaughter. To be absolutely 100 percent clear, Trump’s plan for Gaza is that “all” Palestinians be removed on a “permanent” basis, never allowed to return.” – Caitlin Johnstone

Genocide in South Africa Going Global (VIDEO) with Alex Newman – Greg Hunter

The Trump Doctrine – “The deranged left claims Donald Trump’s foreign policy is chaotic, that it has no broad goal. So it is good to see Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in a little-noticed statement, lay out the broad outlines of Trump’s foreign policy, and thus his State Department’s own marching orders. Rubio managed to work in some “inside baseball” points as well, leaving clues as to how the State reorganization is proceeding with like-minded individuals seeded into key positions in the bureaucracy.” – Peter Van Buren

The Violent Left And Their Media Cheerleaders Have Turned Democrats Into The Party Of Crazy, Celebrating Murder & Violence While Worshipping Assassins – “For a group that continuously accuses Republicans and conservatives of being “violent,” liberals do not seem to understand that siding with terrorists, criminals, murderers, gang members and the worst of humanity, is showing themselves to be the party of violence.” – Susan Duclos

80% of U.S. Senators Now Back Blockade of Russia – “This bill is written as an economic, not a military, blockade; it is a sanctions bill with secondary sanctions (or “penalties”) against nations that violate the U.S. sanctions against Russia. However, the UK and EU are now contemplating military enforcement as well, so that violators of the proposed U.S. measure would be at hot war against Russia, which is warning that it will protect vessels carrying their oil on the high seas. This could be the shortest way to get to a hot war between Russia and NATO.” – Eric Zuesse

Multipolar World Update: Is Europe Left at the Launch Pad? – “A major gas deal between the UAE’s XRG and Malaysia’s PETRONAS in Turkmenistan highlights the deepening BRICS-centered cooperation in Central Asia and signals the growing momentum of a multipolar global order.” – Phil Butler

ECONOMIC NEWS 

Warming Up the Printing Presses – “The Federal Reserve is up to its old money printing games once again… Earlier this month it quietly purchased a cool $43.6 billion in U.S. Treasuries. This included $8.8 billion in 30-year Treasury bonds on May 8. Several days before that, it bought $20.4 billion in 3-year Treasury notes and $14.8 billion in 10-year Treasury notes. What’s going on? Isn’t the Fed supposed to be tightening – not easing – its balance sheet?” – MN Gordon

The European Union May Be Delaying Trade Negotiations Deliberately – “The EU-US trade deal should have been the easiest to complete. However, the deal is not progressing because the negotiation team refuses to lift any of the EU’s non-tariff barriers or to discuss the limitations imposed on US agricultural, livestock, and car exports. These are the reasons why it should have been a concise and quick trade deal:” – Daniel Lacalle

Here Are 6 Signs That The Housing Market Depression In The United States Is Getting Even Worse – Michael Snyder

What Gold Sees in the Ten-Year – “Here’s what the ten-year U.S. Treasury is signaling right now” – Nomi Prins.

Gold’s Jagged Ascent – “Welcome to Trump’s disruption world tour. If you think this is going to be quick? If you think this is going to be easy? Think again. If you think Trump cares about Wall Street? If you think Trump cares about the value of the U.S. Dollar? Maybe not. This is a total reboot of the world’s monetary and trade order. Things are going to break. And at the risk of sounding like a broken golden record, there’s an obvious reason why gold is catching fire in today’s market. And it’s not anywhere close to over.” – Adam Sharp

A brief history of the gold standard – “As evidence mounts that major western economies are heading into a banking and monetary crisis due to contracting credit, we face the consequences of unsound money. The era of fiat is drawing to a close and its death will be painful for the highly indebted advanced economies in North America, Europe, and Japan. History and legal precedent tell us that fiat will die, and only gold can provide an anchor to credit values.” – Alasdair Macleod

Bitcoin $100,000: What Does It Mean? – “Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day, everybody! . . . You do know about Bitcoin Pizza Day, don’t you? On May 22, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz, a programmer from Florida, paid 10,000 bitcoins for two Papa John’s pizzas—the first recorded bitcoin transaction in history. Now, May 22 is observed in the crypto community as “Bitcoin Pizza Day” and is no doubt celebrated with many a pizza order.” – James Corbett

IMAGE FOR THE DAY

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK 

Hey, have you noticed that the world has changed?
That the news is all bad?
Well, I think it’s time for a song about that

Up on the east side of Manhattan
They’re still dancing with the stars
While over in sub-prime city
It’s getting ugly in the local bars
Watching the news only gives me the blues
There’s too much going wrong
It takes the likes of me to hit the reboot key
And write a high speed drinking song

Millionaires losing everything
Hey, welcome to the other side of life
There goes the yacht, there goes the Rolls
But you get to keep your wife
And don’t forget the auto makers
Swimmin’ upstream like a trout
They let the shit hit the fan and then they made a plan
We’ve got a lot to drink about

There’s the price of oil, the war of the spoils
Here’s your bucket for the big bailout
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan
We’ve got a lot to drink about

Now Madoff made off with all the money
And his clients are down to skunk weed
Repeat after me, it’s so easy to see
We’re only talking simple greed
And those Somalian pirates are counting all their gold
While Bush and Cheney ain’t around
And all the good lookers seem to be Russian hookers
From Key West to London town

There’s the price of oil, the war of the spoils
Here’s your bucket for the big bailout
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan
We’ve got a lot to drink about

So pour me some Tennessee whiskey
Pour me a fine Jamaican rum
That loud mouth soup
Can get ya kind of looped
Tequila, of course I’ll have some!

Well, the family devalues
And little children plan their net worth
And the truth, wherever it’s hiding
Can’t be found on Google Earth
Citibank’s buying jets with our money
I wanna flog ’em with a buggy whip
Let’s hope Barack and Joe won’t let the volcano blow
And patch the hole in our sinking ship

There’s the price of oil, the war of the spoils
Here’s your bucket for the big bailout
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan
We’ve got a lot to drink about

Recession, oppression, depression, good God
CNN keeps bummin’ me out
I can’t take another doomsday minute
Got a lot to drink, a lot to think, a lot to drink about

God bless America

THE BIG PICTURE

Satan Hates Children and Most Americans Agree with Him Whether They Realize it or Not – Brian Shilhavy

The GLP-1 ‘Skinny Jab’ Craze: What We’re Not Being Told – “Miracle weight-loss injections like Ozempic promise an easy fix, but at what cost? GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are being widely promoted as revolutionary weight-loss solutions, but their rapid adoption raises concerns about long-term safety, side effects, and pharmaceutical overreach.” – ANH-USA

Fully Vaccinated Billy Joel Diagnosed With ‘Sudden Onset’ Brain Disorder – “Fully vaccinated and boosted musician Billy Joel has suddenly canceled all upcoming performances, revealing he’s been diagnosed with Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH)—a rare brain disorder involving fluid buildup in the brain. But here’s where it gets strange: this type of brain condition typically develops gradually. Joel’s rapid decline has raised eyebrows among fans and skeptics alike. After all, the brain disorder is a known side-effect of COVID mRNA vaccines, and Joel was a prominent supporter of the experimental vaccine roll out.” – Baxter Dmitry

Ukraine is a key hub for the sale of babies; a quarter of babies sold globally come from Ukraine – “writes Frank Wright, who abandoned an investigation into child trafficking out of Ukraine, “as no one wishes to be murdered for revealing it.”” – Rhoda Wilson

Consumers Demand Conagra Eliminate Dangerous Pesticides from Popcorn Supply Chain – “The petition specifically demands that Conagra ensure there is no use of seeds coated with neonicotinoids in its popcorn supply chain. Studies increasingly show that neonic-coated seeds are harmful to pollinators and other wildlife while providing little to no yield or economic benefits to farmers, on average.” – Sustainable Pulse

NEWS

Whites Punch Back. Europe Staggers to its Feet. Western Civ Roars. – “In five years, all democracies will be run by an emboldened, entirely smartened up populist right. Trump’s performance three days ago accusing South African president Cyril Ramaphosa of white genocide in the Oval Office was the crest of a wave building across the western democracies. It represents, for the first time in centuries, an actual grass-roots-ordinary-people movement” – Elizabeth Nickson.

Silenced as Terrorists: Tulsi Gabbard & Global Collusion to Criminalize American Dissent – “The U.S., U.K., Big Tech, and intelligence agencies conspired to brand peaceful citizens as domestic threats for opposing COVID-19 mandates and defending medical freedom” – Sayer Ji

Everyone is a violent extremist now – “Just a couple of days after a couple were gunned down by a terrorist simp in Washington, DC, we learn something interesting. Did you know that you were probably a violent extremist? Don’t feel bad. I was, too. In fact, anyone who took issue with COVID protocols probably got that label, according to some new information recently declassified. The Biden Administration labeled Americans who opposed the COVID-19 vaccination and mask mandates as “Domestic Violent Extremists,” or DVEs, according to newly declassified intelligence records obtained by Public and Catherine Herridge Reports.” – Tom Knighton

DNI Tulsi Gabbard Takes Operational Control of the Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) – Sundance

House Oversight Chair Wants To Question Biden Handlers Acting As ‘De Facto Presidents’ – Steve Watson

Israel Sacrifices 2 Jews in DC Shooting (VIDEO) – “Don’t fall for Zionist manipulation and false flag antics. Right when public support for Israel is sagging worldwide, 2 young photogenic Jews are killed outside a Jewish Museum in Washington DC. They depend upon the hate and the division; without that, they have no power.” – Makia Freeman  – GOOD LISTEN FROM MAKIA AS USUAL!!!!

The MOSSAD Running America Propaganda – “In a video released on Twitter, Gyorgy Schwartz stated emphatically he does NOT believe in God and everything he does whether initiating coups or wars – he does ‘for money’. Nothing less. In a video released on Twitter, Mileikowsky stated that he owned, staged, and ran the plays that are America. And everything is a lie which he finds quite humorous. In 50,000 Twitter reels, the assassination of the two Christians working for the Israeli Embassy – were termed a Mossad false flag event to force Trump’s hand to support the nuclear bombing of Iran.” – Helena Glass – IN CASE YOU DON’T KNOW SCHWARTZ IS SOROS’ REAL NAME AND MILEIKOWSKY IS NETANYAHU’S REAL NAME!!!  

The Tale of the Tariffs: Trump Targets the EU – “And the president takes a bite of the Apple. Happy Memorial Day weekend! What was supposed to be a calm, relaxing, and sleepy few days quickly metastasized into panic, fear, and headaches. The mood shift came after President Donald Trump threatened to impose tariffs on the European Union and tech titan Apple. Wall Street participants must now spend their time at the backyard barbecue thinking about Trump’s next 4D chess move rather than discussing the one big, beautiful bill.” – Andrew Moran

Epstein, Springsteen, and Trumpenstein – “Same old same old. When we last checked in on our dashing hero Donald Trump, he was enthusiastically salivating over the chance to sign the “Take it Down” internet censorship bill. A few days ago, he did indeed sign this very Orwellian legislation. Most of us don’t deal in “revenge porn,” whatever that is, but we have good reason to fear this odious act. So that’s at least one thing Trump has accomplished thus far in his second go round; making it even more difficult for truly dissenting views to be accessed online. And this is also the only thing the Republican majority in the House and Senate- you know, the alternative to the hopelessly evil “Woke” Democrats- has managed to do” – Donald Jeffries

Trump is Destroying His Own Coalition -“The Republican Party is in as much serious trouble as the Democrats. Last November, Donald Trump was sent back to the White House on a wave of revulsion and desperation. There is no need to go into the Biden Administration’s abysmal track record on all things working class. Trump won primarily because of four things: He easily delivered on #4 by a simple policy change, disproving Democrat claims that doing so was impossible. Other than that he has demonstrably failed.” – Ohio Barbarian

Jen Psaki Provided Political Cover For Biden’s Ghost Presidency – “Jen Psaki has provided excuse after excuse to try to explain away Biden’s mental decline and prop up his ghost presidency.” – Beth Brelje

Trump, Mao & the Hundred Flowers Campaign – “Trump and the globalists are using a page from Chairman Mao’s playbook, Recent posts and articles by Chinese intellectuals have compared Trump’s actions to those of Mao during the Cultural Revolution: The New Woke Right are no more or less brainwashed than the Woke Left they rail against. In a wave of stupid, the New Woke Right sponsored Captain Warp Speed and enabled him and Elon Musk to gain control of the White House. The orange monster, who literally funded 8 pharmaceutical companies with $11 billion of American taxpayers’ money, was not only forgiven his crimes of mass murdering millions of people with toxic waste injections, but he was re-elected, applauded, endorsed and ultimately, worshipped by his deluded followers.” – 009

Navy Admiral Corrupt? How Utterly Disturbing! – Karen Kwiatkowski

What keeps the safety director of the most vulnerable spot in US up at night before hurricane season – “Weiner: The city of Key West is an incredibly resilient community. There’s a lot of history there. But there is also a lot of older architecture there. There’s a lot of wooden homes, and for them to receive a storm, a direct impact of a major magnitude, that would be devastating for them. That is what keeps me up at night – a Category 4 or 5 storm hitting Key West.” – Mike Schneider

Is “Balkanization” Back In The Cards For Syria? – “The situation remains very combustible and could easily explode at the slightest spark. Russia and the US rarely agree on much, but their top diplomats just sounded the alarm about Syria, which should convince objective observers that there’s credence to their warnings.” – Andrew Korybko

From The Caspian To The Persian Gulf, Tracking Iran’s North-South Corridor – “On the road in Iran – The International North South Transportation Corridor (INSTC) is one of the most crucial geoeconomic/infrastructure projects of the 21st century. It unites at its core three key BRICS nations – Russia, Iran and India – branching out to the Caucasus and Central Asia.” – Pepe Escobar

ECONOMIC NEWS 

VANISHED! (TWO TRILLION DOLLARS). AND THE ECONOMY IS (NOT) REALLY REALLY STRONG.(VIDEO) – ” Now let’s break this down one at a time and we’re going to start off with jobless claims and, uh, The so-called steady job growth now claim fewer people filing fo unemployment equals well more people getting hired. No fact it doesn’t mean more hiring. it means people ran out of benefits or they just freaking stopped applying.  It means more people are now working multiple part-time jobs just to survive. Temp work gig economy with no benefits of course. The second headline.  US economy improves based on Standard & Poor’s PMI  You see what what they’re not going to tell you is these small upticks, it’s all fake anyway. uh’ But they told us there was an uptick, all right uh. These are seasonal. seasonal noise and invariably what happens it gets revised lower and they put that on like page three, not front page news.  So you’re not supposed to know that.” – Gregory Mannarino

The Debt Storm Approaches – Gale Force 9 Imminent – “When the rest of the world is increasingly concerned about the sustainability of US debt – of course it makes sense to increase the deficit through a politically motivated tax-cutting Big, Beautiful Bill.

But you wouldn’t know it from watching the news.” – Collapse Life

Deficits hasten fiscal death spiral – “People get confused about the difference between the deficit and the debt. The debt is the total amount of money the US government owes. It represents the accumulation of past deficits, minus any surpluses. The current national debt stands at $36.8 trillion. How about the deficit? The deficit is the annual difference between government spending and government revenue.” – Richard Mills

THE BIG PICTURE

They’re Coming for Your Birthright: Citizenship as Spectacle, Transaction, or Privilege – “Let us be very clear. The Constitution is not a suggestion or a negotiating tactic. It is not optional. Government officials do not get to pick and choose which laws they will obey. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land: a binding contract between “we the people” of the United States and those we hire to govern.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

The end of truth comes with luxury vinyl plank flooring – “What real estate listings reveal about our cultural addiction to hype, delusion, and the slow rot under the surface” – Collapse Life

Biden’s cancer diagnosis is very strange, and a medical cover-up is the least of it. – ” It’s likely that doctors have diagnosed Biden’s cancer so late because the former president was subject to a high degree of isolation and medical neglect while in office. Perhaps family and close advisers carefully managed Biden’s annual physicals to avoid any inconvenient findings as part of a broader campaign to hide his dementia. Alternatively, it’s possible that signs of cancer were discovered at some point, but that Biden’s inner circle avoided confirming the diagnosis or pursuing treatment. Either way, the late diagnosis and the advanced cancer together suggest that Biden has been left sick and untreated for a long time.” – eugyppius

‘Too Fast to Be Natural’: Top Doctors Warn Biden’s Turbo Cancer Diagnoses Raises Alarm About mRNA Aftermath – “How does one of the most monitored men in the world suddenly develop end-stage “turbo cancer” — and no one sees it coming? That’s the question exploding across social media and even among top doctors, after the office of former President Joe Biden revealed on Sunday that he had been diagnosed with an aggressive, bone-spreading form of prostate cancer.” – Baxter Dmitry  – SEE MY IMAGE FOR THE DAY FROM YESTERDAY!!!!!

“The Puppeteers of Babylon.” Yeah, Lets Name Them. – “This is borderline dangerous.” – Gregory Mannarino

‘The Deep State Goes Viral:’ The real Covid story – “Interview with author Debbie Lerman. What if the pandemic response was run by national security agencies according to a biodefense/counterterrorism playbook, rather than by public health agencies according to public health guidelines?” – Rebekah Barnett

Congress Will Vote to Strip States of Their Power to Regulate Artificial Intelligence—for the Next 10 Years – “As Trump’s $500B ‘Stargate’ AI grid is underway, Regeneron acquires 23andMe—handing Big Pharma, Big Tech, and Big Government unchecked access to your weaponizable DNA.” – Jon Fleetwood

Are These the World’s Worst Drug Companies? – “The world’s drug companies are a pretty nasty bunch – in my view they are deadlier and more ruthless than Pablo Escobar or any of the Colombian drug barons. I’ve picked out some of the drug companies which I think are among the most evil in existence. Drug companies have worked tirelessly to suppress the truth and censor the truth tellers but staff members who are prepared to close their eyes to the crimes their employers commit are paid huge salaries and rewarded with honours.” – Dr. Vernon Coleman via Lioness of Judah

The Godzilla Window – “Has America been made great again enough for you yet? Personally, I don’t know how much more greatness I can handle. I mean, you got the Salvadoran gulag thing, the crackdown on free speech thing, the threats to suspend constitutional rights because of the latest “state of emergency” (i.e., the “invasion” of America by squads of “Tren de Aragua assassins” that Biden conspired with Maduro to unleash on God-fearing heterosexual white families), the luxury resort and theme park Trump wants to build on the ruins of Gaza once Israel gets done liquidating it, the Qatari “Trump Force One” jet, the Saudi weapons-deal money, the Silicon-Valley transhumanist guys, the neo-fascist “remigration” faction, the Musk Cult, and … well, I’m sure I’m leaving something out, but who can keep track of all this greatness? But, seriously, I don’t know how much more great again America can be made at this point, unless they decide to go the whole hog and declare Trump “emperor.” Which, I wouldn’t put that past them …” – CJ Hopkins

The United States of America, as we have known it, Has Been Destroyed by the US Supreme Court – “As I predicted, the liberal-left, committed as it is to the establishment of a Sodom & Gomorrah Tower of Babel, used the mindless judiciary to protect “rights” of non-citizens who broke the law by entering the country illegally. The judges defined the preservation of America in terms of defending “rights” for illegals who are not US citizens to use US courts to evade enforcement of US law. No one knows where these American rights of non-Americans came from, but the morons on the Supreme Court are defending them. The Supreme Court’s ruling against America in favor of illegal aliens reads like the babel of an insane asylum.” – Paul Craig Roberts

The Banality Of Biden – “It was hard to hate men like Eichmann, even after their actions had been universally condemned, because they were not obviously evil men. That was always the point of Joe Biden and why the managerial class loved him. He was a simpleton and braggard, but he would ruthlessly execute his instructions and do so in a way that was hard for the people to hate. He normalized evil by making it feel like the way things were done and had to be done. Joe Biden is the banality of evil.” – The Z Man

Biden’s Presidency Is a Scandal of Historic Proportions – “The legacy media is only now covering the mental incapacity of a president who apparently left the entire ship of state to the unaccountable bureaucracy. The cancer diagnosis is certainly a terrible thing. But the idea that this should end the story about what happened the last four years is a farce. It couldn’t be clearer now that due to mental and physical ailments, Biden was a diminished man from the moment he assumed the president’s office.” – Jarrett Stepman

Cutting Military Spending Would Make for a Big and Beautiful Bill – Ron Paul

Hoot of the Day: Trump Threatens a Return to Reciprocal Tariffs – “We’ve gone from 200 deals “100%” to threats of returning to reciprocal tariffs if countries don’t deal.” – Mish

The Trumpified GOP’s Great Big Ugly Debt Bomb – “When it comes to the Donald’s Big Beautiful Bill there is one place, and one place alone, to start the discussion. We are referring, of course, to the built-in baseline of revenues, outlays and deficits under current Federal law and policy. Needless to say, the latest CBO baseline amounts to a five-alarm dumpster fire.” – David Stockman

Brennan-Style Subterfuge and Media Leaks Behind Controversial Intel Memo – “If John Brennan is furious, good things are happening. The former CIA director and Russiagate architect is “livid” about the firing last week of two longtime intelligence officers by President Trump’s top spy chief.“It’s appalling and outrageous and demonstrates why Tulsi Gabbard never should have been confirmed as director of national intelligence,” Brennan, his voice trembling with rage, said on MSNBC. ” – Julie Kelly

Comey Peddles UNBELIEVABLE Excuse For His ‘8647’ Sea Shell Post… – “Aw shucks…The Secret Service questioned him, but then let him go without any charges. Now, in an interview with MSNBC he claims he’s just a silly old fella who wears baggy jeans and sweaters and had no idea what he was doing.“I don’t know how we ended up here. Never occurred to me that it was any kind of controversial thing, but that’s the time we live in,” Comey told MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace. It’s got nothing to do with the time we live in, shit posting an image threatening to kill the President when you’re a deep state lackey is always going to cause outrage.” – Steve Watson

Leftist Plantation: South African Officials Say White Refugees Are Committing Treason? – “Some people might be wondering why a backwater nation like South Africa has become a flash point in the global debate over politics and culture. It’s really not that hard to understand once you recognize the core conflict, which is in part about racial division but also about the fundamental evils of the political left and socialism. South Africa represents a perfect petri dish, a window into the minds of progressive authoritarians.” – Brandon Smith

How To Go Full Stalin on Afrikaners – “Comrade Mangaliso “Stalin” Konza serves as National Communications Manager of the ANC, South Africa’s Politburo. He is mad that America resettled 49 Afrikaner refugees. Like his genocidal namesake, he wants to ethnically cleanse his adversaries. Notice how human rights organizations like Amnesty International have remained silent about the plight of the Afrikaners, just as they did with the Canadian truckers.” – Yuri Bezmenov

A nation and global economy go to war for the soul of Ireland. – “Dispatches from no-mans land in 2024 ” – Gerry O’Neill

Keir Starmer is killing the spirit of Brexit – “His ‘reset’ with the EU is an assault on the sovereign longing of the British people.’ – Brendan O’Neill

The Magical Mystery Tour That Wasn’t – “Trump has mixed results in both the Middle East and with Russia and Ukraine” – Philip Giraldi

Rethinking US-China Relations After the Tariffs Shipwreck – “Fortunately, Trump’s plan failed, and he was forced to ease the tariffs without achieving any of his main objectives. The reason we say “fortunately” is because the tariffs policy never served the interests of the American people. Quite the contrary, Americans are hurt by unilateral policies that ignore the rules of international trade and needlessly disrupt supply chains. All that does is push prices higher, reduce employment and slow growth.” – Mike Whitney

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Are Alternative Weapons Practical in a Post-Disaster World? – “The first, and most critical, time period we need to concern ourselves with is the time immediately following the disaster and for as much as a couple of years after that. The key thing about this time period, is that people will have firearms and ammunition will be available; maybe not in the stores, but from raids they commit on others. You can probably count most especially on the criminal element having firearms and ammo; both the experienced criminals and those who cross the line in an attempt to survive. Thinking that we might be able to fight off such criminals with non-lethal weapons or melee weapons from the Middle Ages is either extremely naïve or extremely foolish.” – Bill White

THE BIG PICTURE

FDA Fully Approves Novavax COVID Vaccine Grown in Infected Insect Cells—100% Efficacy Claim Based on Just 14 Placebo Cases- “Decision relied on NEJM study that only followed patients for 3 months.” – Jon Fleetwood  – AGAIN, WHERE’S BOBBY AND MAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is MAHA Afraid to Tell HHS They Know They’re Being Lied to About the COVID Shots? – “There’s a lot of talk from current HHS members about why the COVID-19 injections should be pulled off the market, but with the FDA granting full FDA approval to Novavax’s COVID-19 injection on Friday (with limited use in the elderly and those with comorbidities), it seems we’re being asked to be happy that ‘at least the CDC is no longer recommending the COVID mRNA shots for children.’” – Karen Kingston

Is Tuberculosis Contagious? – “Before the fake deadly measles outbreak in TX, we had a fake deadly tuberculosis (TB) outbreak in KS, remember? Prior to the microbe enthusiasm that erupted during the 19th century, for millennia, TB had been thought of as a hereditary or spontaneous illness, not something transmissible human to human.” – Sasha Latypova

Nature paper provides evidence of EMF control modalities for next-generation gene- and cell-based therapies – “ok… What does that mean you ask? It means that they put special nanoparticles inside cells engineered to make insulin (human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells), implanted these cells into diabetic mice, and used magnetic waves to make the cells release insulin thus helping to control blood sugar in the mice.” – Jessica Rose –  YOU THINK, MAYBE THIS WAS ALREADY DONE WITH THE COVID JABS!!

Narrative Kill Chain: Unraveling the Black Ops Network That Tried to Deplatform the ‘Disinformation Dozen’ (aka Trusted Twelve) – “Inside the militarized disinformation complex—from NATO war games to lawfare—and the legal uprising that is breaking its spell.Recent revelations now confirm what many of us have long suspected: that global defense networks, U.S. intelligence agencies, international NGOs, and transnational tech corporations have colluded to surveil, deplatform, defame, and psychologically target individuals whose words threatened their control. ” – Sayer Ji

Biowarfare 2025 Plans Revealed ft. Dr. Sherri Tenpenny (VIDEO) – “Dr. Sherri Tenpenny joins Daily Pulse for an exclusive look into factors that indicate biological warfare plans are still in play today, with one document indicating an attack in the U.S. in 2025. This comes as Singapore passes a law to jail people for refusing vaccines, and vaccine makers preparing for hemorrhagic fevers.” – Daily Pulse / Maria Zeee

NEWS

Swamp Fever – “If the slithering denizens of Okefenokee-on-the-Potomac were nervous about their fates before Sunday — and I’d say they’ve been rather jumped-up since Nov. 4 — then Maria Bartiromo’s Sunday morning session with FBI top dawgs Patel and Bongino must have been a near-death experience for them. Something Roto-rooterish this way comes, officialdom must be thinking, if you can call utter hysteria “thinking.” Washington is nervous because there have been zero leaks from the agency, a condition heretofore unknown in that haunted, pestiferous, reeking marsh. And so, also amidst all that deafening noise roaring across The Swamp, we get the sad news over the weekend that former president, now plain citizen Joe Biden, has got aggressive Stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer spreading into his very bones. Strange to relate, this is one of the very “turbo-cancers” said to be induced by the Covid-19 mRNA “vaccine” shots that “JB” exhorted Americans to take — and supposedly submitted to himself. What can you say, besides boo-hoo?” – James Howard Kunstler

Biden Diagnosed With ‘Aggressive’ Stage IV Prostate Cancer. – “The news comes five days after a small nodule was found in the 82-year-old Biden’s prostate after a “routine physical exam,” which “necessitated further evaluation.”. Which of course begs several questions… Joe Biden has Cancer with metastasis to the bone. This is considered advanced. If he had the best medical care and screenings for 4 years they’d have found it and it means he’s likely had it since before dropping out.” – Tyler Durden

Did They Hide Joe Biden’s Diagnosis From Biden Himself? – “There are far more questions than answers following the announcement of the former president’s diagnosis. Were his doctors, who gave him a clean bill of health last year, negligent or incompetent? This seems extremely unlikely considering Biden was President of the United States at the time. He has been receiving the best healthcare in the world for four years. Is it just a sudden spread of a deadly disease? Again, this is unlikely considering the nature of prostate cancer. The fact that it has spread to the bone generally means it was present in the prostate for years.” – JD Rucker

MASS ARRESTS NOW: “President” Biden Diagnosed With “An Aggressive Form of [Turbo] Prostate Cancer” – “The timing “is just extraordinary,” precisely because this is a “crime against the republic.” The timing and tactics of this latest MSM quisling diversion truly “is just extraordinary.” Not only are the very same reporters that assured the world that “President” Biden was of sound mind when he was clearly a borderline vegetable playing the part of “President,” but they are now turning against him in a desperate bid to protect themselves and the real perpetrators of this historic treason. The rats are jumping ship! Axelrod, Tapper, and Jones, take turns dishing out blame for the Biden coverup. Van Jones calls it a “crime against the republic” and says “Democrats will be paying for a long time” for their part in this “massive coverup”.” – 2nd Smartest Guy in the World

Island Of Strangers( VIDEO) – “Nelson, Lancashire. The most brutally shocking example of how we truly have become an ‘island of strangers’.” – Paul Joseph Watson  – HAPPENING EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Planned Parenthood Still Thrives on Taxpayer Funding – “The reversal of Roe v. Wade doesn’t seem to have hurt their purse strings. Planned Parenthood has so far weathered the storm of political backlash against abortions, flourishing despite laws in some states limiting or reducing access to the procedures. In fact, PP has been performing more abortions and getting more federal funding, even while other services, such as testing for sexually transmitted diseases and screening for breast cancer, have dropped.” – Kelli Ballard

ECONOMIC NEWS

(SITUATION CRITICAL). THIS ENTIRE THING IS COMING DOWN. ENTER THE “MONETARY PRIESTS.” (VIDEO) – “Turn on Fox Business, CNBC, Bloomberg  Pick one. They’re floating out  the freaking monetary priests to sell you a lie.  And here’s the mindblower. We called it .We said this is exactly what would happen.  Look man they’re trying to sell you another lie. Imagine our shock here, that you need lower rates.  We need lower rates and of course a weaker dollar currency on the back of that. And that is going to boost economic growth. People this is a lie on such a scale.” – Gregory Mannarino

A Debt Crisis is Coming… The Time to Prepare is NOW! – “On Friday after the market’s close, Moody’s downgraded the U.S.’s credit rating from AAA to Aa1. While the timing of this announcement is suspect (where was Moody’s during the last four years when the U.S. added nearly $10 trillion in debt?) it’s still a BIG deal for investors. Why did Moody’s do this? The markets are a sea of red this morning as this downgrade has systemic significance. It might be quite early, but Moody’s is noting the same thing that gold and other assets have begun to predict. The reality is the U.S. is heading towards a debt crisis.” – Graham Summers, MBA

Happy Campers – “In the Biden years, much like the Obama years, it became popular with the reporting agencies to produce fake economic numbers and then come back at a later date to “revise” the previous data so they could pretend they were being accurate. We are getting a version of this now that Trump is back.  … during the Biden years we were told that the economy was going great and those grumbling about egg prices were ingrates. Now that Trump is in power, the media say we are in a depression. Go on the roads right now and you will be confronted with miles of RV’s and campers. This week, which leads to Memorial Day weekend, the nation’s highways will be full of the things. Why does this matter? RV’s and campers have long been a useful metric for the economy and the public perception of the economy. The more people hitting the roads for campgrounds and parks, the better the economy. This used to be a metric discussed in public, but like so many of these things, it fell out of favor in the Obama years. Management and its marketing department, what we call the media, decided that the customers really did not know best, so they scrapped those numbers in favor of metrics that flattered management.” – The Z Man

It’s not like farming and farmers exist independently of the global exploitation machine. The only answer that seems to satisfy is “control”. One more filtration layer between you and independence. After all, anyone can raise their own chickens, pigs or cows – it’s just a matter of space. Even if you’re lacking the resources to become self-sufficient, small local farms are an option that avoids Big Farmer. But if lab-grown meat replaces natural meat, that makes corporations your only source for meat at all. It means the chemical content and nutritional value can be controlled, and makes scarcity easy to engineer as well. And perhaps more importantly, it is pretend, it is unreal. It is one more process that removes humans from a grounding in the real world.” – Kit Knightly

Digital Prison in the Making? WikiLeaks Blasts Palantir for Spying & Gaza Massacre – “Gaza Killware Palantir provided an AI-powered targeting tools to Israeli forces that they used in deadly strikes on civilians and aid workers in Gaza, according to The Nation. Palantir’s Ukraine AI War Lab Time reported that Palantir turned Ukraine into an “AI war lab” in June 2022, offering its services for free. In February 2023, CEO Alex Karp bragged that Palantir was responsible for “most of the targeting” by Ukrainian forces — whose military has a record of striking residential areas and civilian infrastructure.” – Ekaterina Blinova

Saving Greenery From the Greens – “It should be mentioned more often than it is that the guy who wants the rest of us to refrigerate our homes with ‘heat’ pumps, or half-fill the kettle – Ed Miliband – has two kitchens in his own house, presumably in case he loses one. It’s a relevant point, isn’t it, that the people in charge of environmental policy get to do so with such fashionable North London hypocrisy? The immiserating effects of the Government’s Net Zero obsession are well documented. Additionally, in fact worse, climate alarmism is generating more and more excuses for state incursions into what used to be the private space, orchestrated by people financially and culturally insulated from the whole madness.” – Sean Walsh

The far-reaching tentacles of private equity — “If you rent a home in the United States, there’s nearly a 1 in 10 chance your landlord is a private equity firm. The same odds apply if you show up at a privately run emergency room. And for 12 million workers — mostly in low-wage jobs like fast food, retail, or security — the boss at the very top of the corporate ladder is private equity. Private equity firms make their money by buying up companies or property, taking control, cutting costs, and then selling them off for a profit. On paper, it’s about efficiency. In reality, it often means layoffs, higher prices, and degraded services.” – Collapse Life

Can Your Phone Read Your Mind? – “Have you ever been thinking about something and then an ad for that very thing comes up on your phone? It isn’t just a coincidence when that happens. Our phones are the greatest surveillance devices that have ever been created in the entire history of humanity. When you carry a phone with you, you are carrying around a microphone, a camera, a location tracking device and a social media hub all rolled into one. ” – Michael Snyder

Those two whistle-blowers are Dr Morgan Reynolds and Dr Judy Wood.” – 9/11 Revisionist

What if Freedom Is Suspended? – Judge Andrew P. Napolitano

Why the Tax on Property is the Worst Tax – “Taxing income is morally despicable because it’s your money – and that means it does not belong to anyone else. That means if it is taken from you, you have been robbed. It does not change the fact to call this robbery “taxation.” Of course, that is why they call this robbery “taxation” – to give it a patina of legitimacy. But there is a worse form of taxation/robbery. It is the so-called “property tax” – which is worse because it pretty much forces the victim to work forever to earn the income to pay this tax – after taxes – in order to void being evicted from what can never be his home.” – Eric Peters

“OF COURSE Trump wants to suspend habeas corpus for EVERYBODY” – “That’s the big fear-porn talking point on the Left right now. “You and I and everybody could be detained without appearing before a judge. No due process.” Yak-yak. Little pecker fed judges are ruling that every single one of these illegals has the right to appear in court before deportation, in order to argue his case. That of course sets up an impossible situation. Which was created during previous administrations. The wide open border. “Come on in.” So now Trump and Stephen Miller are talking about suspending due process for illegals, which would be Constitutional if their presence in the US were labeled an invasion.” – Jon Rappoport

The Great Simmering in the West – “People all over the world are worried about the future. While regional wars continue to fester, the prospect of global war weighs heavily on many. However, likely belligerents are not all foreign aggressors. Nearly a century of globalization has erected a web of clunky international institutions that wield tremendous power while disregarding sovereign borders. Self-described “futurists” such as Bill Gates and Yuval Harari believe that artificial intelligence will soon replace most humans in the workforce and that a small cadre of global “elites” must centrally manage humanity’s transition to general “uselessness.” ” – J.B. Shurk

‘Anyone here been raped and speaks English?’ – “But let’s cut the jokes, the quips and the one liners. If being pack raped and speaking English was newsworthy, then the Western media, together with what passes for Western justice, would highlight the plight of Syria’s Alawite women, whose hell is “just” a rerun of what the same NATO backed savages did to the Yazidi and many others, who must lick their wounds in private and in silence, just as Korea’s comfort women had to when “victory” was won, Macron is not the only NATO cretin, who colludes with the devil. NATO’s entire structure, from top to toe, is based on that and there are millions of broken and shattered lives across the Levant, throughout Africa, in Ukraine and anywhere else we care to look that attest to that.” – Declan Hayes

The Ukraine Game – “The professional commentators and amateur experts have been highly critical of the Trump foreign policy, but despite his unorthodox approach, Trump seems to be making progress that those experts claimed was impossible. The recent trip to the GCC countries is the most recent example. Lost in the shuffle is Iran stating they are ready to do a deal with Trump on their nuclear program. Today, the Russians and Ukrainian will meet in Istanbul to talk peace. This meeting is remarkable mostly because a key element to Project Ukraine from the start was that there could be no negotiations with Russia. Without saying it, the Biden admin and the Europeans would only accept the unconditional surrender of Russia and even then, the terms would be harsh.” – The Z Man

Donald Trump Now Owns The Ukraine War – “President Donald Trump has said repeatedly that the Ukraine War is Joe Biden’s, not his. But now the Ukraine war belongs to Trump. He can no longer deny ownership. From Defence-blog.com: President Donald Trump’s administration has reportedly approved its first weapons sale to Ukraine since the start of his second term, with plans to authorize direct commercial exports valued at $50 million or more. By the same token, the Israeli genocide in Gaza is now Trump’s genocide. This man who was elected president on the promise of ending America’s “stupid wars” (his words) is neck-deep in the continuation and escalation of these wars. ” – Chuck Baldwin

President Trump’s Entourage to Saudi Arabia Tells The Tale – “It is notable that President Trump requested Elon Musk, Larry Fink, Hegseth, Rubio, Bessent, Sam Altman – Open AI, Jensen Huang – Nvidia, Alex Karp – Palantir, Giani Infantino – FIFA President, Jeff Miller – Halliburton, Ruth Porat – Google, Andy Jassy – Amazon – to accompany him in this soiree. Bringing them into the fold knowing that their expansion means more money for themselves and America was tactical. Changing sides from WITHIN. Capitalizing on George Soros maneuver to upend alliances and allegiances from within only now it’s within the Deep State.” – Helena Glass

Trump Says He’s ‘Honored’ That Democrats ‘Suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome’ – Frank Bergman

Donald Trump and American Decline – “Who stepped on the butterfly? Trump is very much a declinest president, yet his ideas for making America rise (again?) are, generally speaking, accelerants to further decline.Of course, Trump is hardly the only symbol of American decline. Just look at revelations that former President Biden was one fall away from a wheelchair, that he couldn’t remember friends and prominent supporters like George Clooney, even as Democratic operatives were telling us Biden was more than fit to serve as president for another four years? American decline is, most assuredly, bipartisan. Even so, Trump brings his own peculiar attributes to declinism.” – Bill Astore

Shock Video: Cartel Kills Mexican Mayoral Candidate, Her Daughter During Facebook Livestream – Trent Walker

Bombshell NYT Report Reveals ‘Invisible’ F-35 Nearly Shot Down by Houthis – “Let’s first make something clear. Some have claimed that the US established ‘air superiority’ but not ‘air supremacy’, as if there’s a difference between the two. These are phony terms concocted—or at least popularized—by the US MIC to sell its Iraq war adventures, with claims that the modern ‘unstoppable’ American ‘airpower’ is capable of somehow totally dominating the skies against a foe. In reality, no such thing as true ‘air supremacy’ exists in a near-peer conflict, and has never been established in history over a foe that can fight back. These are nothing more than marketing terms to sell weapons for a war that doesn’t exist.” – Simplicius

Islamic School in PA Gets Millions of Tax Dollars – “The massive grant to Islamic “education” in Philadelphia is aimed at helping the Muslim group expand its school from 300 students to 3,000, according to officials. Ironically, many of the leftwing politicians, groups, and teachers’ unions that typically shriek about any public money going to Christian educational institutions are either supportive or silent about the Al Aqsa school funding.” – Alex Newman – THEY WANT TO GET RID OF CHRISTIANS, COULD IT BE MORE OBVIOUS!!!!!!!!!

THE BIG PICTURE

You can wreck yourself more easily now because medical drugs will cost way less? – “Trump just announced he’s cutting prices of Pharma drugs by 30 to 80%. Not sure he can really do that, but if he can, more people will be injured and killed by them? For all those people covered by medical insurance, which is paying for those drugs anyway, does that change anything? The way it looks to me, nothing changes for the user. He still gets the same drugs that are toxic. The real issue has been and still is: so many people on so many poisonous drugs.” – Jon Rappoport

Update – “It must be another tariff turnaround, (capitulation) or is it? Trump issues (arbitrarily) 145% tariffs on certain Chinese goods, and China reciprocates with 125% tariffs on certain U.S. goods; but wait, in secret over the weekend, all that is put aside, and voila, U.S. markets go straight up. Consumers are harmed by all tariffs, (taxes) and that will not change due to this deal, but Trump will still crow at his ‘mastery’ of the ‘deal.’ My take is that this is just another bait and switch maneuver, and who knows what will come next? The details of this ‘deal’ have not been released, but you can rest assured that this was plotted out long before this weekend holiday in Switzerland. Regardless consumers in the U.S. and China, as always, will both lose, this the “art of the deal” every time Trump is involved. Up, down; up, down, and the next ‘deal’ lies in wait, as the coming digital takeover and surveillance of all of you goes forward unabated.” – Gary D. Barnett

1991: A timeline of Robert Maxwell, Mossad, & CIA – “Jan Ludvik Hoch. Known as – Robert Maxwell. Father to Ghislaine. Father in Stud Law to Jeffrey Epstein via Ghislaine. Suicided as his identities were going to be revealed. He trained – Epstein. Jan Hoch was born in a region that is now a part of Ukraine. His history is very obscured from dating even decades ago. Scrubbed. There is one common point that remains in History files, Robert Maxwell Hoch was embezzling, committing gross fraud, and stealing money from employee pension plans – as a personal loan. ” – Helena Glass

Trump Order Injects AI into US Education – “Of course, it is important for children to keep up with new technologies such as AI. But the dangers of AI — especially AI systems programmed by evildoers — are orders of magnitude greater when it comes to shaping the minds and values of the next generation. And this danger is compounded when national and even international authorities are involved, akin to putting all of one’s eggs in one basket. Caution is desperately needed. ” – Alex Newman

Gates emphasised the nation’s stability as a “testing ground” for global initiatives. His remarks were widely condemned. Social media erupted, with many Indians accusing Gates of reducing their nation to a mere experimental ground for Western interests. Social media users labelled Indians as “guinea pigs” in Gates’ laboratory and questioned the ethics and motives behind such experimentation.” – Colin Todhunter

THE DEEPER DIVE: The China Syndrome of Trade Deals -“Today we got to see what a great deal looks like for America under the Trump Tariff Wars.. Last week I covered how President Trump managed to squeeze a bad deal for the US out of the UK with his trade war—a deal assuring US citizens pay about 8% more in US taxes on all goods purchased from the UK than they had to pay prior to Trump’s Trade Wars. I now have to lay out what a terrible deal for the US Trump just managed to pound out of China. Even more than the UK deal, this one was a win where Trump can boast that he held China’s feet to the fire until he got them to agree to let us tax ourselves 30% on all the vast purchases we get from China, our biggest global trading partner!” – David Haggith

U.S. President Doubts He Must Adhere to the U.S. Constitution – Eric Zuesse

PART 4: IS TRUMP FOR REAL? – “Trump 2.0’s pro-jihadi geopolitics in the context of Trump 1.0 Trump’s policies in the Middle East are now showing a very clear pattern: he is throwing Israel under the bus by doing everything that the jihadis want and none of what Israel needs. This has been unexpected for many. That’s because they have the wrong model of US politics, the wrong model US geopolitics, and the wrong model of Trump.” – Francisco Gil-White  – INTERESTING TAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tax cuts, Gov. Pritzker? – “Gov. Pritzker claims that Democrats cut taxes for everyday people. What tax cuts? Illinoisans are paying the nation’s highest property taxes, the 2nd-highest gas taxes and the highest cell phone taxes. Kiplinger ranks Illinois third in the nation in its list of “least tax-friendly states for middle-class families.” Where are the tax cuts for everyday Illinoisans, Gov. Pritzker?” – Ted Dabrowski and John Klingner  – AS I HAVE SAID BEFORE, PRITZKER, LIKE HIS CLONE/CLOWN IN CALIFORNIA, NEWSOM. BOTH WANT TO BE PRESIDENT. BEWARE OF WHAT YOU WISH FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Democrats Just Can’t Stop Pushing Nonsensical Assault Weapon Bans – “These laws ban guns “in common use,” and no comparable historical analog exists for these bans. But on April 30, Sen. Adam Schiff (D-California) introduced the so-called “Assault Weapons Ban of 2025.” It picks up where his predecessor, Dianne Feinstein, left off. It bans semi-automatic rifles that use detachable magazines and have a barrel shroud, Just a week earlier, Illinois state Sen. Celina Villanueva introduced the “Responsible Gun Manufacturing Act,” which would effectively ban popular Glock semi-automatic handguns. In April, Colorado enacted a law that makes it illegal to buy, sell, and make semi-automatic firearms that have detachable ammunition magazines without time-consuming training, which the governor hopes could cost $200. This push isn’t new.” – John R. Lott, Jr.  – AGAIN CALIFORNIA AND ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS WANT TO TAKE AWAY RIGHTS. IS IT ANY WONDER, THE WAY THESE STATES GOVERN THAT PEOPLE WANT TO LEAVE!!!!

Count me in this camp – “Nothing the Democrats do is evil enough to gain notice, and nothing Republicans do is benign enough not to be noticed and spun negatively. So, if that’s the hand you’re going to deal the right, then expect the right to play that hand. Trump has absolutely nothing to fear. He’s not likely to be removed from office, and while he might lose Congress in the midterms, that’s actually normal anyway, so it’s hard to really see the benefit of trying to play nice.” – Tom Knighton

Habemus Papam Bob: Chicago’s left field Pope Leo XIV – “Pope Bob is currently enjoying an American honeymoon as the Yankee media surf along on the goodwill tide his election brought to their shores.” – Declan Hayes

Africa’s Lost White Tribe – “Many Boer families had been in South Africa’s Natal Province and Orange Free State since the 1600’s, much longer than black Zulu or Xhosa tribes. They are the real South Africans. America would benefit from offering them new homes. But they deserve to keep their homes in South Africa and Rhodesia (today Zimbabwe). Some were burned and their white occupants murdered. Whites had begun to flee South Africa. So, Trump is right to offer them asylum. But what about Palestinians?” – Eric S. Margolis

Democrats: Millions of illegal aliens are good, handful of South African refugees are bad – “With comical hypocrisy, a CNN panel predictably declared that being “victims of crime” does not “entitle” white South Africans to asylum in the United States. However, Democrats and their media sycophants fervently believe that perpetrators of crimes do deserve asylum in the U.S. Interesting position. Not to mention insane and remarkably evil.” – Eric Utter

Planet of the Fat Black Statues – “Recently, there has been a veritable epidemic of statues suddenly popping up all over the globe, depicting overweight Black females. This is decidedly odd, as the figures don’t represent a particular person of historical significance, but rather a modern “Woke” phenomenon of a brand of human being; the loud and proud Black woman. One of these statues, incredibly enough, was erected in Italy. If anyone can tell me what significance any Black woman has had on Italian history, I’m willing to listen. It’s hard to tell how many Black female statues there are. A few years back, there were reports of them springing up in Roanoke, Virginia, and South Boston. There were already at least six statues of Harriet Tubman scattered across this country. I doubt that there are six statues of White women collectively in America.” – Donald Jeffries

No, Public TV Isn’t a Constitutional Right – “When Jonathan Capehart says “the government should not interfere with” reporting, he’s right — but he should have stopped there.” – Jon Miltimore

Aimed At Pressuring Big Pharma; Goldman Says Trump’s Drug Exec. Order “Symbolic, Not Substantial” – “The EO’s language is legally cautious. It repeatedly cites the need to act “consistent with law” and lacks clarity on scope—such as whether it applies to Medicare Part B, D, or both. “Overall, while the EO appears intended to create leverage for negotiation with the industry and is likely to increase pressure on companies to announce some concessions, our political economist notes that the process appears to be in early stages and does not expect near-term implementation of the measures contemplated in the EO,”” – Tyler Durden

Another Prophecy About The Great New Madrid Earthquake That Will Divide America In Half Someday In The Future – “In recent years, we have witnessed a lot of noteworthy earthquakes in the heartland of the United States. To me, they are reminders of what is coming. Thankfully, we have not experienced a cataclysmic New Madrid earthquake yet.” – Michael Snyder

I find it nearly pointless to split hairs over the incessant back and forth ‘negotiations’ charade because it’s all simple posturing from both sides, with each vying to outdo the other in the media in order to present the best face of ‘peace maker’ to their own respective allies.” – Simplicius

Amid broader inflation, 77% of Americans say they have felt the most significant increase in grocery costs, according to a March report by Credit Karma. No wonder: Food prices have risen 24% since 2020, according to a February report from the Economic Research Service.” – Ana Teresa Solá

Here’s What Copper Is Saying About Silver – “As a silver investor and analyst, I closely track copper because of its strong correlation with—and influence on—silver. Silver is unique in that it’s both a precious metal and an industrial one, with industrial demand making up about 55% of total usage. This gives silver price behavior that often mirrors copper, a purely industrial metal. Additionally, there are trading algorithms that arbitrage the silver-copper relationship, reinforcing their tight price connection.” – Jesse Colombo

A Bear Market Rally? Or, Just A Correction? – “A bear market rally represents a short-term increase in stock prices that emerges while the market is in a downward trend. Such price rallies bring forth positive expectations because markets experience significant upward movements throughout several weeks or months. These rallies do not indicate any actual market recovery. They serve as brief interruptions before the dominant downward trend continues.” – Lance Roberts

The Trump Administration’s Biggest Wins And Biggest Fails So Far – ” I was highly critical of Trump’s first term, as many commentators were, mainly because of the DC “swamp creatures” flooding into his cabinet. To be fair to Trump, he walked right into a den of vipers and parasites. He was surrounded by people who were intent on controlling his policies and sabotaging his second term prospects. There are thousands of cabinet positions to be considered and Trump trusted the wrong people to fill them. His second term and his dramatic reboot of the federal government has been nothing short of epic. I have far less to criticize this time around. Though, there are still some serious problems to address.” – Brandon Smith

“Never Forget” – “The other day, President Trump urged us all to NEVER FORGET – his all caps – what happened to Jewish people (and other people, who are completely forgotten) during the national socialist era in Germany pushing 100 years ago now. This is interesting given that Trump wants us to forget some other, more recent things. Specifically, that he was the one who declared and then never rescinded the “emergency” that kept the contrived mass-panic event everyone was expected to refer to as “the pandemic” (very much of a piece with the way everyone was expected to refer to the events of September 11, 2001 as “911,” implying an emergency) going for years. Long enough to assure that his “beautiful vaccines” were “warp speeded” into the arms of millions, whose lives were not “saved” by them.” – Eric Peters

Trump Threatens to Suspend Habeas Corpus on Grounds the US is Being Invaded – Mish

Shorthink something 15 – “The greatest flaw of democracy is that a people can actually vote for totalitarianism. I suppose you could call that ironic. The truth is, there is no way to achieve whatever it is the globalists want to achieve without complete control of the people. Here in Canada our PM Carney will negotiate with Trump and it seems unlikely to me he will negotiate on behalf of Canadians but more on behalf of the global vision.” – Sylvia Shawcross – GOOD ONE FROM SYLVIA!!

The Era of Great Pretending Looks Wobbly – “As a rule of thumb, whenever a government or similarly powerful institution says that something is true, it is best to assume the exact opposite until the facts of the matter are firmly hammered down. “Conspiracy theories” frequently prove to be partially or wholly accurate in the long run. People who dissent from popular “narratives” tend to be months — or even years — ahead of the corporate news talking heads when it comes to “breaking news.” Because “conspiracy theorists” are often far ahead of the news cycle, some people rightly refer to them as “Fact Hoarders” Don’t be afraid to hoard facts.” – J.B. Shurk

India and Pakistan Sliding Into Global Nuclear Catastrophe – “Media ignoring risks and global impacts of regional nuclear conflict” – Sarah Connor

In 2019, We Were Warned That A Nuclear War Between India And Pakistan In 2025 Could Potentially Kill 125 Million People And Cause Mass Starvation Worldwide – Michael Snyder

Trump Claims Victory In Achieving Peace Between India And Pakistan – “Despite plenty of attempts to do better, the Trump administration had so far failed to achieve any foreign policy victory. The ceasefire in Gaza which Trump imposed in January was soon sabotaged by the radicals in Netanyahoo’s cabinet. The negotiations about peace in Ukraine are stuck around a yet be agreed upon ceasefire which does not solve the root problem. The war on Yemen, on Israel’s behalf, was lost militarily. Iran, despite threats, has not moved on inch from its insistence on nuclear sovereignty. The tariff rage waged against China and everyone else is threatening to derail the U.S. economy. All this makes today’s win a special moment.” – Moon of Alabama

Diddy Trial Drama: Star Witness Vanishes Ahead Of Explosive Testimony – “one of the prosecution’s key witnesses has mysteriously gone missing just days before opening statements are set to begin.” – Tyler Durden  – HMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With Biden’s access to power gone, the money has apparently dried up – “One of Harry Truman’s most famous aphorisms is that “An honest public servant cannot become rich in politics.” Joe Biden embodied the corollary to that aphorism, for he was anything but honest, and he became very rich, indeed. When Biden left the White House, despite an almost uninterrupted 50-year career on the public dime, his reported net worth was $10 million, while the rest of his family also enjoyed the high life. Now that Biden has been tossed onto the trash heap of history, the money allegedly is drying up.” – Andrea Widburg

Illinois Gov. Pritzker accused of ‘insulting’ ICE with sanctuary policies as Noem, Angel families protest – “Border czar Tom Homan slammed Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker… “He continues to lie about sanctuary city status in the state, in Chicago especially,” Homan told Lawrence Jones on Thursday. ” – Bailee Hill

Israel’s Fires: A Precursor To Sodom And Gomorrah? – “Since the advent of the State of Israel in 1948, the Zionist state has planted hundreds of millions of non-native plants, trees and shrubbery that are highly combustible and have contributed to an increase of wildfire disasters not previously known in the region of Palestine—including Israel. But the current wildfires raging in Israel are unprecedented in their furor. This column will contain a couple of videos of the fires raging in Israel that I hope readers will take the time to watch. When you see them, I think you will agree with me that the fires are not only terrifying, but they possess an almost apocalyptic aura about them.” – Chuck Baldwin

Merz promised an end to mass migration, but so far he has delivered primarily messaging chaos. Could this be some kind of insane strategy? – eugyppius

Are Democrats Now Punishing Catholics? – “Mandatory reporting of child abuse and neglect…A new Washington state law, newly signed by Democratic Governor Bob Ferguson, requires Catholic priests to break the seal of confession. For centuries, Catholics have understood that what is said in the confessional is sacrosanct, never to be revealed or repeated by a priest. With the Catholic leadership’s history of covering up pedophilia and other sexual sins, one has to wonder why they continue to consider themselves above the law.” – Jim McCraigh

The US Is Toughening Its Negotiating Stance Towards Russia – “This might presage the peace process’ collapse and the resultant intensification of their proxy war.” – Andrew Korybko

The Trumpet Changes His Tune – “Suddenly the Battle Hymn of the Republic is sounding a lot less MAGA because the Trump just won a great victory that will allow all of us to pay more forever for less of everything! Winning bigly!” – David Haggith

Suffering the Fed’s Mistakes – “This week, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) held the federal funds rate within the target range of 4.25 percent and 4.50 percent. This made President Donald Trump grumpy. He wants Powell to cut interest rates. He wants lower borrowing costs to help cushion the fallout from his trade tariff policies. Lower interest rates would help Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent cover the $1.07 trillion in government debt that must be borrowed between April and September. Lower interest rates would also promote a weaker dollar, which would make American made goods more competitive in export markets. But what choice did Powell really have?” – MN Gordon

Are Risks from Bank “Bail-ins” Increasing? – ““Shadow Banks” are now 49% of Global Assets. Back in 2023 when several U.S. Banks, mostly banks with high exposure to Silicon Valley Big Tech accounts, started to collapse, I published some articles explaining the concept of bank “bail-ins”, which are the opposite of bank “bail-outs” where the U.S. Government bails out “too-big-to-fail” banks that collapse, as we saw in 2008. Bank bail-ins are the opposite, and allow banks to secure non-FDIC insured funds in accounts of bank depositors. Most Americans are unaware of the fact that laws are now in place to seize funds on deposit in U.S. Banks from account holders. There was a threat in 2023 of the total collapse of the U.S. banking system, but it survived, at least temporarily. Talk is again picking up about the possibility of bank bail-ins here in 2025 in Trump 2.0.” – Brian Shilhavy

THE BIG PICTURE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

These views actually aren’t extremist at all since they’ve been shared by the vast majority of humanity throughout history in their own contexts.” – Andrew Korybko

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

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

Commies gonna commie – “Commies have got to spy on capitalists because communists can’t create, only steal.

THE BIG PICTURE

Robert Prevost of the United States is named Pope Leo XIV – “He is the first American pope in the 2,000-year history of the Catholic Church. White smoke poured out of the Sistine Chapel chimney Thursday at 6:07 p.m. local time, signaling that a pontiff had been elected to lead the Catholic Church.” – Curtis Yee, Katarina Kratovac and Michael Warren  – COULD HE BE THE LAST POPE. DID HE TAKE THE NAME LEO TO SYMBOLIZE THE LION!!!!!!!!!!!!

Real ID Is Not About Keeping You Safe – “Because of the absoluteness of this new requirement and the harsh punishments for non-compliance—just picture what would happen to you if you tried to get into a federal building or onto a plane without the accepted forms of ID—it can be easy to write off the Real ID requirement as some new rule that, while annoying, is probably being implemented for a good reason. It’s not.” – Connor O’Keeffe

Depopulation, Food Shortages, Real ID, False Flags, and Chaos – “A full-fledged effort to depopulate the planet is under way. It would appear that the human population is being truncated. Shortening lifespans one end and reducing birth rates on the other.” – Dr. Joseph Sansone

AG Pam Bondi recently worked for Pfizer? What?? What the hell is going on? – Jon Rappoport

Be Not Enticed to Tyranny: Oppose the Surveillance State – “A surveillance state is being erected around the American public at an alarming rate. In many urban and suburban settings, anyone traveling on public streets or sidewalks will have his image captured by the ubiquitous surveillance cameras. A leisurely stroll around the neighborhood, as well as any conversation along the way, might be recorded if the city uses surveillance-enabled street lights. Even our own front yards might not be safe from the prying eyes of the state if a neighbor has a “smart” doorbell that shares data with law enforcement.” – Elizabeth Melton

The prison food playbook that feeds us all – “A rigged food system profits off our plate; from cell blocks to school cafeterias, the fight to reclaim real food is just getting started. Thanks to warriors like Zen Honeycutt, we now know American schools serve kids processed meats, sugary drinks, and meals chock full of glyphosate, harmful pesticides, neurotoxic heavy metals, and high levels of veterinary drugs and hormones. If what we’re feeding the next generation is unpalatable, just think of the Jell-O cups and salty snacks handed to patients in hospitals and nursing homes. When choices on the plate are that bad, vending machines hum with profit and Big Food racks up more revenue.” – Collapse Life

The United States—A Nation At Cross-Purposes With Itself – “Will President Trump attend Moscow? Not likely, but he did take the time this week to remind Americans it was the US that won WW2. Maybe it was, in the movies, or with George C Scott, as General Patton sneering at Russian counterparts—but not in fact. When the US went to war, December 1941, most of our allies had been at war since 1939. 251K American were killed in the entirety of WW2. Between 27/28 million Russians died, causing 80% of German troop losses. 1 million Russians died at Stalingrad. What Trump said and not showing-up at Moscow is an indicator for clinical narcissism.” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

Violence as protected speech – “”Judge Dreadful”: protected violence as political praxis. It seems that every time one turns around, this exact sort of story is once more in the news. No matter how one slices it, the performative tantrum as political theater has gone much too far. The seemingly endless indulgence of vandals and wreckers as some sort of “valid expression of political belief” has enabled and encouraged it.” – El Gato Malo

They Do Not Even TRY To Hide It Anymore. – “Look at this picture below. Notice anything? The extensive use of VERY POWERFUL “symbolism.” This is today, Trump’s BIG announcement about the Deal That Isn’t. Whether conscious or not, this entire image reads like a modern mockery of sacred imagery, a Babylonian counterfeit of divine order. It doesn’t portray humility, it is meant to radiate constructed/FALSE divinity. Which is exactly how false messiahs present themselves with image first, spirit nowhere.” – Greg Mannarino

Decrepit Biden Makes Incredible Claim In BBC Interview… – “Sleepy Joe Biden was wheeled out for a first interview since being ejected from the White House and claimed that dropping out of the 2024 race was such a “difficult” decision because the four years he was in office were “so successful.” Biden also claimed that under his Presidency the economy was “growing … the stock market was way up … we were expanding our influence around the world.” Huh? Inflation hit 9 percent under your watch. ” – Steve Watson

Would the Left Finally Explain the Inexplicable? – “The left broke norms, erased borders, and weaponized justice—not to govern, but to crush Trump and cling to power by any means necessary.” – Victor Davis Hanson

Democrat States Targeting Homeschoolers – “From Minnesota and Illinois to Connecticut and beyond, lawmakers have in recent months been exploiting extremely rare incidents of abuse or neglect as a pretext to target the millions of parents who provide a world-class education for their children outside of state control. It is part of a strategy to bring all children and families under government control.” – Alex Newman

Be careful what cart you hitch your horse to – “For some time, we’ve had fun poking at Democrats and their desire to rally behind the “Maryland Dad” who was, in fact, a known member of MS-13 who should have been deported years earlier. It doesn’t matter if the human being trafficked wants to be trafficked or not. It’s illegal, and Garcia was knee-deep in the practice. That’s who Democrats have rallied behind in this whole fight they have against deporting illegal immigrants. Honestly, this is stupid on every level.” – Tom Knighton

Collapsing Empire: AnsarAllah Defeats US Again – “On May 6th, Donald Trump made the shock announcement that the US was abandoning all hostilities against Yemen. A vast, multi-billion naval and air campaign officials in Washington had pledged would last “indefinitely” has abruptly ended, in return for AnsarAllah pledging not to attack American shipping in the Red Sea. While the President has bragged the Resistance group “capitulated” to his administration’s renewed, much-intensified belligerence and “don’t want to fight any more”, the reality is that God’s Partisans have once again defeated the Empire.” – Kit Klarenberg

The First Crypto Currency: The Dollar – “President Abraham Lincoln is considered to be the moral savior of the United States for ending slavery. To pay for the war, he made enormous changes in the basic relationship between the federal government and money. These changes greatly diminished individual property rights and increased the power of Washington over the private economy. The paper money created by Abraham Lincoln to finance the Civil War was the first crypto currency. Lincoln relied on the issuance of nonconvertible paper currency to support the military effort, in today’s terms like forcing people to accept buttons or miscellaneous crypto tokens in payment. ” – Christopher Whalen
