When “Dead Enough” Becomes a Metric – “How Performance Metrics Are Corrupting Medicine’s Most Sacred Threshold. The heart monitor flatlines. The family weeps. The doctors wait exactly 75 seconds—then restart the procedure. In the world of organ transplants, “dead enough” has become a moving target. The New York Times just reported something most people aren’t ready to hear: in the rush to expand organ transplants, procurement teams have sometimes started too early. Not after death—before it was fully established.” – Joshua Stylman

Childhood vaccines have been laced with a known neurotoxin for years and the government just now decided to do something about it – “Mercury is not only in vaccines, it’s in our mouths and in other products. It’s making people dumber and less fertile, two things the globalists have always wanted.” – Leo Hohmann
How Oligarchs Steal America’s Public Lands – “And how they proceed to destroy it. Trump eliminated the estate tax on farmers this week. This is a huge boost for their survival and the celebration in every township and county will go on for years. Also last week, the EPA eliminated the preposterous endangerment finding on CO2. Further, given these regulatory reforms, starting businesses and manufacturing in local communities will be much much easier. This is huge. But, and of course, there is a but: Buried in Trump’s Genius Act, lies yet another fascist incursion on America’s lands.” – Elizabeth Nickson

Ever heard of geofencing? – “Not just for dogs anymore! Geofencing is a location-based technology that creates a virtual boundary around a specific geographic area using global positioning systems (GPS), radio frequency identification (RFID), Wi-Fi, or cellular data. When you enter or exit a “defined area” with your smart phone, pre-programmed actions will be triggered. What do I mean by pre-programmed actions? Think of notifications being sent (AI-based tattle tailing), tracking movements (stalking), or enabling/disabling certain features (you no eat today because you ‘broke our rules’). Now, they’re going to sell this insanity as a marketing scheme which will be “ideal for broad, general targeted marketing, such as sending promotions to customers within a certain distance from a store”. …but at what bloody cost to privacy? How far is too damned far? To me, all this is a wolf in sheep’s clothing except the wolf ain’t a wolf and the sheep’s clothing ain’t clothing.” – Jessica Rose

How To Subvert Stuff White People Like – “Reexamining the popular SWPL blog that made fun of white liberals and spicy commentary on the full list of 135 virtue signaling favorites. Comrades: Do you like Stuff White People Like? Stuff White People Like (SWPL) was a popular satirical blog that peaked during the early Obama years. It received over 100 million views and turned into a bestselling book. SWPL coined the term to describe stereotypical white liberals. It was funny then, but predicted the coming insanity of that subculture. The harmless humor of Portlandia devolved into the violent anarchy of Antifa.” – Yuri Bezmenov

Real Holes in Neverland – “Even though it isn’t a nut, reality is especially hard to crack these days. But if you closely observe daily life all around you, no matter how superficial it may at first seem, you will catch many glimpses of why this may be so. The signs of falsehood are everywhere here in the land of make-believe, for those willing to decipher them.” – Edward Curtin – VERY GOOD READ FROM ED!!!!
Trump is DANGEROUSLY stupid, leading to wars. – “Trump is not reading his Daily Intelligence Briefs that he receives from his Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard (summarizing the findings of all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies), but instead he receives his ‘information’ from his friends and others (such as Lindsey Graham) who share his prejudices, such as believing his equation of anti-Israel with anti-Semitic (anti-Jew), as-if ALL Jews support Israel, which is stupid, and not ONLY a false belief. Trump’s abysmal stupidity is leading the U.S. into war against not only Iran, but also Russia. He surrounds himself almost exclusively with neocons, and always comes around to their views — despite what the facts are.” – Eric Zuesse
Cory Booker’s pathetic stunts reveal the sad state of the Democratic Party – “Booker went bananas on the Senate floor Tuesday, demanding that Democrats join him in voting NO — on a bipartisan bill — to supposedly prove that they aren’t “bending the knee” to Donald Trump.” – NY Post Editorial Board

Reflections from the Heart of the Empire: Things Fall Apart. The Narratives Cannot Hold. – ““There is no policy of starvation in Gaza, and there is no starvation in Gaza. We enable humanitarian aid throughout the duration of the war to enter Gaza – otherwise, there would be no Gazans.”—Israeli Prime Vampire Benjamin Netanyahu Material Reality replied, “My people are starting to hate Israel.”—Donald Trump to an unnamed Jewish donor, according to the Financial Times. This tells us two things: Trump has not totally lost his vaunted ability to read the room. Trump will continue to heed the dictates of his bribers and blackmailers, but is letting them know his power is not absolute so please don’t out him when everything comes crashing down.” – Ohio Barbarian – THE BARBARIAN.S WEEKLY RECAP, WORTH READING AS USUAL!!!
MTG Signals Potential Break-Up with the Republican Party – “Republican firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia has some grievances with the Republican Party and she’s not keeping quiet about them. “I don’t know if the Republican Party is leaving me, or if I’m kind of not relating to Republican Party as much anymore, I don’t know which one it is,” she said in an interview with the Daily Mail “I think the Republican Party has turned its back on America First and the workers and just regular Americans,” she said. Greene told the Mail she worries the GOP is going “neocon” instead of stopping foreign aid, using DOGE to cut waste and making war on inflation.” – Jack Davis
Israeli Forces Kill 111 Palestinians in Gaza Over 24 Hours – Dave DeCamp
Security contractor says he witnessed ‘barbaric’ and un-American tactics at Gaza aid sites (VIDEO) – “The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a U.S. and Israeli-backed humanitarian aid initiative, has been delivering aid into Gaza since May. But since then, the U.N. says hundreds of Palestinians have been killed outside of GHF aid sites.” – Nick Schifrin and Zeba Warsi
N.Y. Post: Canada, Where “Mischief” Considered Worse than Tyranny – “According to Canada’s top prosecutors, the only thing worse than tyranny is “mischief.” And the worst possible “mischief” is objecting to tyranny. In a sentencing hearing earlier this week, the Canadian government sought a ludicrous eight-year sentence for Chris Barber, one of the leaders of the Covid “Freedom Convoy” protest that riled Ottawa in early 2022. For another leader, Tamara Lich, the Crown asked for an outlandish seven years.” – James Bovard
SITREP 8/3/25: Trump’s Sub Scare Can’t Eclipse Ukraine’s Pokrovsk Collapse – “Donald Trump claims to have parked nuclear subs closer to Russia after a tiff with fellow bronzer enthusiast Dmitry Medvedev. The Pentagon appeared to downplay his comments, replying they “defer” to his statements, which is a nice way of saying: “We didn’t move any subs, but let’s just give little Donnie his venting space.” Even war-hog John Bolton had to concede the move was a charade:” – Simplicius
Trumps Dystopian Use of Tariffs as Punishment & Blackmail – “The tariffs are no longer about building, they are about destroying, however in that wake, countries will leave the West in a Dustbowl reminiscent of the Oklahoma massive dust storms in the 1930’s that brought death to everything.” – Helena Glass
Trump’s Tariffs and those Goddamned Freeloading Europeans – “A brief primer on why the American empire exists, how it works, and Europe’s place in it. Europe has gotten a free ride for long enough and that it is time we learned to pay our way. I find it a little frustrating to read this, because in Europe it does not feel like we are getting a free ride at all. In fact it seems like the opposite: The truth is that the United States is an imperial power. Generally speaking, it does not give foreign nations free rides and it does not hand out unearned favours. There is however a lot of confusion here, because hardly anybody bothers to describe honestly the geopolitical strategy pursued by the United States or the nature of the American empire.” – .eugyppius
Lula Threatens Response After Trump Slaps ‘Witch-Hunting’ Brazil With Highest Tariff-Rate Globally – “On Friday President Trump imposed an unprecedented whopping 50% tariff on products imported into the US from Brazil, including nearly one-third of the coffee Americans consume daily.” – Tyler Durden
Think America Owes $37 Trillion? It’s Far Worse Than That – “Misleading accounting hides the stunning scale of DC’s financial obligationx. As distressing as that official number is, America’s true fiscal situation is even worse — far worse. According to a barely-publicized Treasury report, the actual grand total of Uncle Sam’s obligations is more than $151 trillion.” – Brian McGlinchey
ECONOMIC NEWS
Waiting On the 2nd ‘Grapes of Wrath’ – “The Grapes of Wrath is a tale of class warfare, and dust. But more-so, it’s a story of banks—the role banks played in perpetuating a decade of pain. In 1929 the stock market crashed and government did not allow markets to sort it out for themselves. Instead, socialist fixes (that didn’t work), were applied—causing the Depression to extend another decade—until the US industrialized to enter WW2. The FED Banking Act created the condition for banks to create currency—with the focus on quantity, a process that drives asset prices (stocks/real estate), ever upward. Like any Ponzi scheme, when upward momentum ceases, the economy ends in crisis. What’s being done to us as we are taken to the cleaners? When you sign a loan contract, that’s a debt instrument. The bank then trades that instrument for securities. There is no loan. Banks are exempt from protections offered in the client-money rule. There is no loan liability for banks—unlike non-banks with a liability to balance assets.” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

Powell Holds the Line – “The high stakes standoff between Fed Chair Jerome Powell and President Donald Trump is exhilarating. Trump wants Powell to cut interest rates so the U.S. government can save money on its debt financing costs. Powell wants to wait and see how tariff policies impact consumer prices before cutting – or raising – rates. If Congress really cared about the future of America, and the younger citizens whose futures are being crippled by all this debt, it would balance the budget or even run a surplus to pay down the debt. Instead, Congress is stepping on the gas as it speeds towards the fiscal cliff.” – MN Gordon

It’s Trump’s economy now. The latest US financial numbers offer some warning signs – “More than six months into his term, Trump’s blitz of tariff hikes and his new tax and spending bill have remodeled America’s trading, manufacturing, energy and tax systems to his own liking. He’s eager to take credit for any wins that might occur and is hunting for someone else to blame if the financial situation starts to totter.” – Josh Boak and Christopher Rugaber

16 Ingenious Uses for Mylar Blankets on Your Homestead – “Mylar blankets were once referred to as “space” blankets. That’s because the concept originated with NASA during the space program due to its ability to capture and reflect heat. They’re usually 4 x 8 feet and fold to the size of a handkerchief. They’re also very inexpensive and the fact that they are waterproof and reflective provide a lot of possibilities.” – Steve Nubie – BESIDES KEEPING A COUPLE IN THE CAR FOR EMERGENCY USE, YOU MIGHT CONSIDER SOME OF THESE!!!

Flowers You Shouldn’t Plant Near Vegetables (And What to Do Instead) – ” I chose to plant marigolds, zinnias, and nasturtiums near my veggies, all of which produced amazing results. I had the best-yielding garden I’ve ever had, not due solely to this arrangement, but I’m sure that was part of the equation. As I was writing down this note to keep in mind for next year, it made me wonder whether there were flowers that should not be planted near the vegetable garden. Sure, marigolds and nasturtiums are great – but are there any no-nos? ” – Rebekah Pierce

In a long-term grid-down crisis or deep in the backcountry, you might not have access to lifesaving antibiotics. In fact, health experts warn that “a post-antibiotic era – in which common infections and minor injuries can kill – is a very real possibility for the 21st Century”.” – Dr John Herzog
