THE BIG PICTURE

Total National Stupidity! – “An intelligent and logical person, in order to be taken seriously as such, must understand and admit that no man knows but an infinitesimal amount of all there is to know. What this indicates is that ignorance about most things among intelligent individuals is universal, and not knowing everything does not qualify someone as stupid. The rub however, is when all legitimate evidence and common reasoning are ignored in favor of presented State narratives, never to be properly vetted, and that this mass indifference my friends, is the essence of stupidity. How many false flags, how many anomalies, and how many lies have to be present in order for the seemingly blind to see? ” – Gary D. Barnett   – GARY HAS BEEN ON A ROLL LATELY, I RECOMMEND ALL READ HIS ARTICLES!!!!

Tyranny of Echoes – “Put real skin in the game or shut the fuck up. Here’s a caution. Freely given, and in good faith. Don’t mistake our silence for acquiescence. We’ll not come for you. There’ll be no vendetta, no dramatic strike. That’s the old estrogenic world. That’s not how a man responds. Your era, the age of the empty talker who monetizes the sweat of others while sneering at the man still swinging the hammer, is in its final, desperate innings. We don’t hate you. Hate’s a passion we can’t afford. We won’t kill you. That would be to grant you a significance you’ve not earned. We’re simply severing the connection. We’re deleting the channel. We’re moving on to what must be preserved.” – E.M. Burlingame  – E.M. IS DEFINITELY NOT AFRAID TO SAY WHAT’S ON HIS MIND!!!

Technototalitarianism, Part One – “It is now clear that the control grid, a phrase popularized by the invaluable work of Catherine Austin Fitts, is being implemented. It is also clear that Trump has been a Trojan Horse to facilitate the implementation’s final steps. Trump is a nonstop distraction, generating headlines and controversy every time he opens his mouth. It would be headline-worthy if he ever shut up. Those observers who want to maintain objectivity and draw a bead on Trump ignore what he says and focus on what he does. That focus yields disturbing conclusions that bely MAGA’s quasi-religious enthusiasm.” – Robert Gore  – LONG, BUT VERY GOOD READ FROM ROBERT AS USUAL!!!

Who Will Protect Us From the Protectors? – “​In the same week in which President Donald Trump announced that he was federalizing 200 Oregon National Guard soldiers and dispatching them to the streets of Portland, he quietly signed a Presidential National Security Memorandum that purports to federalize policing. Merely because an area of governance is reflected nationally does not make the area federal. Chief among these is the police power. The wall between state and federal law enforcement was generally recognized until 9/11. Prior to that, the FBI and other federal police agencies, none of which is authorized by the Constitution, generally devoted their efforts to enforcing federal law. After 9/11, the Bush administration — perhaps to divert public attention from its having slept on that fateful day — began a federal/state collaboration to fight “terrorism.” ” – Judge Andrew P. Napolitano

So, the Digtal ID narrative is falling apart….and yet I have doubts. – Kit Knightly – INTERESTING READ FROM KIT!!!

TACO Man At Bat – “Well, here’s hoping that the TACO man (Trump Always Chickens Out) finally grows a pair, steps up to the plate and is willing to ride this shutdown to a new record beyond the 35 days it took him to capitulate in January 2019. After all, these are desperate times fiscally—so anything that might wake-up the somnolent public to the budgetary disaster that is careening down the pike is worth some serious bumps and grinds on the national stage. Indeed, it is no exaggeration to say that Washington has gone from the ridiculous to the sublime when it comes to managing the nation’s fiscal affairs. So as shown in the table below, capitulating to the Dems’ demands would generate $1.3 to $1.5 trillion of additional red ink over the next decade on top of the mountainous debt already baked into the fiscal cake.” – David Stockman

Pam Bondi, Zohran Mamdani, and the ADL: Censorious Peas in a Pod – “Typically, the only four circumstances under which the leadership of the two parties unite together (that sacred “bipartisanship” they like to tout) are: a.) to hand out more public goodies to their mutual donors, or; b.) to pimp whatever new war they’ve got cooking, or; c.) to invent new ways to strip civil liberties from the peasants and hand more power to the police state, or; d.) all of the above, all at once” – Ben Bartee

Why Does Tylenol Cause Chronic Illnesses Like Autism? – “Exploring how suppressing acute but manageable symptoms can transform them into significantly more severe illnesses. Additionally, Tylenol also has a few other major issues:” – A Midwestern Doctor

The Biblical ‘Tree of Knowledge’ Was Never About ‘Fruit’ – “How Seven Civilizations Told the Same Story About Human Origins. We published an article suggesting Genesis might encode something darker than we’ve been taught. People lost their minds. We expected pushback. What surprised us was the rage. But here’s the thing: we’re not claiming we’ve decoded the absolute truth. We’re pointing at a pattern. And when you look at humanity’s oldest stories, something bizarre emerges.” – The Wise Wolf – FOLLOW UP TO AN ARTICLE WRITTEN BY  ROSE DAWSON AND LINKED YESTERDAY!!!

 

 

 

NEWS

The Government Is Anti-American – “Watching Antifa attack ICE agents is insurrection. Having been under the cloud of suspicion for as long as I have for anti-government sentiment, watching these clowns come out in full regalia ready for battle without suffering the hammer of federal pervasiveness is mind-numbing. It suggests that the federal government is complicit in their organization and deployment. As is so often stated: “it’s all a show.” I don’t know if that’s true, but it’s becoming much harder to deny. I know, “but Trump…” That doesn’t change very much and someone like Pam Bondi only enforces the suggestion.” – T.L. Davis

Guns of October – “Once again, it feels as if we’re tiptoeing toward an official war between the United States and Russia — as opposed to the proxy war that has endured for three and half years between Russia and NATO-backed Ukraine. Should Poland or Romania be attacked, President Trump’s recent comments suggest that there would be a swift U.S.-NATO response. As is always the case in war, propaganda and misdirection make it almost impossible to analyze this information. Ukraine has an obvious motive to undertake an operation against its allies in an effort to drag U.S.-led NATO into a larger war. ” – J.B. Shurk

Trump’s Green Economy! – “The “Green” Is Dirty Money. There are trillions of dollars yet to be made digging up “clean beautiful coal” and drilling for clean beautiful oil. That’s Trump’s real “green” economy — the green of all those trillions in cash,” – Bill Astore

The Democrats Did America a Huge Favor – “The rapidly metastasizing abomination that is the illegitimate Federal government has been shut down since yesterday due to democrats demanding $1.5 trillion in spending for illegal invader healthcare, child sex mutilation surgeries, and other deranged idiocy. Around 750,00 Federal workers are currently furloughed without pay that was stolen via “income” taxes, which is a decent start, but many millions more must be permanently let go. From unconstitutional agencies like the FDA, EPA, CIA, FBI, NIH, NSA, ATF, and so on and so forth,” – 2nd Smartest Guy in the World

Democrats Want Free Health Care for Illegals – True or False? – “Sifting through the noise of partisanship in Washington. Repealing many of the Medicaid reforms in the GOP megabill signed into law this past summer would make it harder for the US government to prevent illegals from accessing the program, which is what the White House highlighted in its memo. In other words, while Democratic congressmembers and senators might not be outright demanding taxpayer-funded health-care coverage for illegals, their requests for repeals would result in this very thing.” – Andrew Moran

Michigan resident exposes the truth about the Muslim takeover (short VIDEO on X ) – “So yes, what you’re hearing about Dearborn is absolutely true. Yes, it is.” – Wall Street Apes

23 black-on-white homicides noted in Sept., 2025; one white-on-black homicide – “Social media influencers continued to mourn the death of Iryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee brutally killed on a Charlotte, N.C., light rail a month ago. While Iryna’s memory deserves to be honored, the steady toll of young white women losing their lives in America to black aggressors should not be overlooked.” – Kenn Gividen  – AND THIS NEVER GETS COVERD ON THE MSM, WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trump order pledges that US will defend Qatar in event of attack – Simon Lewis and Trevor Hunnicutt

What Dirty Tricks Does the Grandson of Former CIA Director William Colby—a Key Man Running U.S. Foreign Policy in the Trump Administration—Have in Store for Us? – “Elbridge Colby, President Donald Trump’s Under Secretary of Defense for Policy and the man running the U.S. proxy war against Russia in Ukraine, is the grandson of Nixon’s CIA Director William Colby, son of Jonathan Colby, a manager of the Carlyle Group, and nephew of Carl Colby, alleged to have participated in a covert operation targeting Bob Marley, and Christine Colby Giraudo, who worked for Hill & Knowlton. Continuing the family tradition, Elbridge Colby’s Wikipedia page says that his “early career included over five years of service with the Department of Defense, the Department of State, and in the Intelligence Community.”” – By Alexis Baden-Mayer

Manchester Synagogue Attack Officially Declared “Terrorist Incident” – Tyler Durden

Israel is paying influencers $7,000 per post – “Netanyahu referred this week to a ‘community’ pushing out preferred messaging in US media — and boy are they making a princely sum” – Nick Cleveland-Stout i

Several Sumud Flotilla Ships Intercepted With Gaza In Sight In High Risk Zone; Activists Taken Into Custody By IDF, Protests Break Out Across Europe – Celia Farber

The pirates of Israeli supremacy: The West’s favorite rogue state has done it again – “The assault on an aid flotilla headed for Gaza broke all kinds of laws, but then again, laws have never stopped Israel” – Tarik Cyril Amar

Ursula von der Leyen tries to change the EU’s constitution – “Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission (the collective body that constitutes the Presidency of the EU), wants to add both Ukraine and Moldova to the EU, though at least one EU member-nation, Hungary, is opposed, and though the EU’s existing Constitution prohibits any new member-nation to be added unless all existing member-nations approve its application to join.” – Eric Zuesse

 

 

 

ECONOMIC NEWS

Euphoric “Generals” in the Stock Market and Disgusted Generals in the Military – David Haggith

Maxwell House Coffee Changes Its Name to “Maxwell Let’s Be Honest, Who Can Afford Home Ownership?” – “Somewhere between 7% mortgage rates and “we’ll consider any all-cash offers that include a firstborn and a kidney,” corporate America finally said the quiet part out loud: homeownership is no longer a plan—it’s a pipe dream. Enter Maxwell Apartment—formerly Maxwell House, and I swear I’m not making that up—the rebrand no one asked for but most folks can, unfortunately, relate to.” – Jenna McCarthy

From Whimper to Scream: ADP Report Shows US Losing Jobs – “The Jobs Recession Is Getting Worse. While the ADP jobs report is usually overshadowed by the Employment Situation Summary from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, that the BLS is shuttered due to the government shutdown means the ADP report is likely the only data we are going to have on US labor markets for the month of September. The National Employment Report was not any sort of good news, or even “good” bad news. The National Employment Report was dire news,” – Peter Nayland Kust

‘We believe we are in a stagflation period’: U.S. manufacturers stuck in slump that shows no sign of ending – “ISM shows contraction for seventh month in a row” – Jeffry Bartash

This is the Most Important Trend in the Markets Right Now – “The financial system is giving investors a major signal. That signal? That large pools of capital, as in tens if not billions of dollars, are moving away from paper assets to hard assets. See for yourself.” – Graham Summers, MBA

Trump Hits Americans With More Tariffs (VIDEO) – “Peter highlights the recent performance of gold and silver as inflation hedges, scrutinizing the misguided narratives surrounding cryptocurrency and stock market valuations. He emphasizes the critical need for sound economic policies that prioritize free market principles over government intervention.” – Peter Schiff

Trust Bonds… At Your Own Peril Trust Bonds… – “At Your Own Peril—because ‘risk-free’ is really just Wall Street’s favourite fairy tale… with a side of risk-y. Japan may have been honouring its elders with “Respect for the Aged Day,” but markets were far too busy worrying about the health of consumers in China and the US—and whether central bankers at the Fed, the BOE and Bank of Japan were feeling spry enough to shuffle rates around. As for earnings, only nine S&P 500 companies reported, with FedEx carrying the whole show—because who didn’t want to know if people were still shipping stuff while the world panicked?” – The Macro Butler

Will AI Crash the Economy? – “Malinvestment on an unprecedented scale, disappointing revenues, soaring costs for utilities stripping discretionary income from consumers and the inevitable reversal of investment euphoria and the crash of stock market bubbles bursting–these are not drivers of positive economic development. Once the stock market euphoria bursts, the wealth effect reverses, and since people feel poorer (and are poorer), they slash borrowing and spending. One domino falling, OK, no big deal. This is different: the lines of dominoes being toppled run through every nook and cranny of the economy. What’s been untouchable will be touched–by a hammer.” – Charles Hugh Smith

What If Hyperscale AI Is Just A Gold Rush? – “A revolution in how tech is being innovated across the economy is clearly happening – but what if we’ve got the winners and losers wrong? What if we’ve misjudged how AI will evolve as companies and individuals innovate AI solutions for themselves, seeking to preserve their data sovereignty and control of their systems?” – Bill Blain

Gardening in October (Garden Tasks by Month) – Melissa K. Norris

Neighbors, Friends and Enemies – “Who is my friend and who is my enemy, and why is it important to designate people as such? Should I? On the face of it, it’s about my safety and that of my family. If I can identify friend or foe, I can more easily identify threats and make plans to mitigate them. Maybe not easily, but at least I would know at some level what I’m dealing with. I realize that my experiences are far different than those living in the suburbs or in a city. (You should get out, if you can.) I have never been more grateful to be living on a farm, nestled back in the hills, in a lightly populated area of the country.” – SaraSue

Off-Grid Emergency Power Sources During Winter for Preppers – “When the grid goes down in the middle of winter, the stakes are higher than at any other time of year. Cold temperatures, shorter daylight hours, and storm-related outages can quickly turn a minor inconvenience into a survival situation. For preppers, having reliable off-grid emergency power sources during the winter is not just a comfort—it’s a necessity.” – denob

Working with Nature: Three Sisters (VIDEO) – “Amyrose Foll demonstrates how to use rotational planting, rather than intercropping, to take advantage of the “three sisters” companion planting method and increase the yield of a small plot.” – Amyrose Foll

How to Make Penicillin Soup – “Sometimes called antibiotic soup, natural penicillin, or Mother Nature’s penicillin, many cultures have used and staked claim on this medicinal culinary masterpiece. It’s actually kind of funny to see just how many different cultures have their own unique interpretations of it. But most of us will humbly know it as homemade chicken soup!” – Amy

THE BIG PICTURE

The Police State Has a New Playbook: Martial Law, One City at a Time – “Let’s not mince words: every American should be alarmed by President Trump’s “Liberation Day” tactics, theatrics and threats. What is unfolding in the nation’s capital is a hostile takeover of our constitutional republic. This is no longer about partisan politics, wag-the-dog distractions from the Epstein debacle, or even genuine national security concerns. This is martial law disguised as law-and-order—the oldest trick in the authoritarian playbook.” – John & Nisha Whitehead  – HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR JOHN’S TAKE ON THIS ONE AND HERE IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The CDC shooter?  Laid-off fed health workers blame KENNEDY – “Aha. Because criticizing a vaccine is endorsing a man to open fire and kill a police officer. Got it.” – Jon Rappoport

CK Verse, Same as the First. Are We Really Going to Let Them Do This to Us Again? When Does Our “Hell, NO!” Get Louder Than Their, “Kill, Yes!”? Are We There Yet, Daddy? – “In case you haven’t noticed, we are in the middle of a participatory genocide. And, in case you haven’t noticed it, we can stop participating, if we can be bothered to do it.” – Rima E Laibow MD

DANGERS AHEAD–Will This Trigger Biblical Prophecy, the Iran War & America’s Downfall? (VIDEO) – John Barnett Online Teaching  – INTERESTING BIBLE INTERPRETATION!!!

Government Warns Americans to Stop Enjoying Life Until Further Notice – “It’s for your safety, really. Well, folks, the fun police are at it again—and now they’re coming for your cappuccino.” – Jenna McCarthy

The CHICKENPOX Contagion Experiments: How Pox & Herpes were Determined to be Contagious – “Just when you think you can’t possibly hear something more idiotic than the last idiotic thing you heard, along comes Chickenpox and Herpes contagion experiments… Up until the early 1900s, it was assumed chickenpox came from birds, hence its name. The medical-science industry insisted there were two types of chickenpox, both of which came from bird “germs”, but they claimed only one of the two types was deadly. Being that chickenpox looked exactly like smallpox and cowpox which looked significantly like herpes, the only way to distinguish what the patient was infected with was the doctor’s best guess.” – Agent131711

Climate Lockdowns – “COVID was the rehearsal…Climate is the show. This month, Canadians learned that a walk in the woods could cost more than a speeding ticket. Now the same reflex is being applied to forests. Banning hiking and picnics does not thin fuels, harden towns, or fix power line ignitions. It manages people, not risk. The result is months of restrictions on ordinary life, justified by a storyline that collapses the complexity of wildfire into a single variable, atmospheric CO₂.” – Dr. Matthew Wielicki

Nothing can or will happen as long as every “expert” continues to lie and spin – “Your tiers of experts and your tiers of media are designed to never get to the truth” – Sage Hana

Farmer’s Almanac Unveils Long-Range Forecast: “Widespread Wintry Weather” For U.S. – “Time to buy firewood.” – Tyler Durden  – HMM, WHAT ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING!!!

TSA considering outsourcing its ‘touchless’ biometric digital ID system to Big Tech – “No physical ID required at 14 U.S. airports and the program is now being handed off to private contractors. And of course there’s no oversight for any of this, so why wouldn’t they lie about what they do with our data? ” – Leo Hohmann

Health Prepping: So Now Cheese Is Poison? – “When Big Pharma and Big Food collaborate, the result is frequently creepy.Because Of Pfizer, 90% Of US Cheese Is Made Using GMO Corn & Black Mold, CRISPR Cow Gene Editing. This Bioengineered Rennet Requires No Special Labeling & No Ingredient Disclosure.” – John Rubino

Net Zero Nutters Suggest a Plague of Ticks Whose Bite Leads to a Potentially Fatal Red Meat Allergy – “Perhaps it’s a drinking or smoking game at Western Michigan University. Try to come up with the most farcical, April Fool-style Net Zero nonsense and see if we can get it published. How about writing a paper titled ‘Beneficial Bloodsucking’ that states it is “morally obligatory” to promote a plague of the lone star tick whose bite can lead to medical problems including an allergy to red meat. Oh, and it could kill you, but more about that later.” – Chris Morrison

NEWS

Trump v Putin in Alaska: Who has the upper hand? – “It’s the Art of the Deal versus Putin’s patience. Place your bets! President Trump is meeting President Putin in Alaska this coming Friday, to seek a truce on Ukraine. The back story is that Trump wants to extricate himself from America’s embarrassing failure to undermine Russia by means of a proxy war through Ukraine. Deep state operatives like Victoria Nuland (remember her?) spearheaded the Maidan revolution in 2013, following which Russia took Crimea. But this was almost certainly an extension of US deep state operations from the Colour revolution of 2004 onwards.” – Alasdair Macleod

Trump and the Feds Take DC! – “We’re finally invading ourselves” – Bill Astore

Save a Country Ride an Ostrich – ” When you picture freedom, maybe you think of an eagle soaring or a horse galloping into the sunset. But maybe—just maybe—our true spirit animal is the ostrich. Yes, the ostrich. A bird that can run 70 km/h, kick with the power to crush bone, and in spirit, is a close cousin of the emu—the bird that literally outmaneuvered an army. What did the emu do? In Western Australia, farmers were overrun by emus eating their crops. The military rolled in with machine guns, thinking it would be a quick victory. It wasn’t. When the dust settled, the emus had won. The government retreated. The “Great Emu War” was over, and the birds remained undefeated. Now imagine the gates swinging open. Imagine the thunder of 400 ostriches tearing across the prairie—not because they’re running away, but because they’re running toward something: freedom. That’s the choice we face as Canadians.” – Connie Shields  – SAME GOES FOR THE U.S. AS WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some of Trump’s STRONGEST Original Supporters Now Call Him a “Sell-Out” or “Betrayer” or “Victim of the Deep State.” – “The Epstein Crisis is opening eyes and changing minds as moral conviction finally rises above political passions.” – David Haggith

Reflections from the Heart of the Empire: Accelerations of Imperial Decline – “Trump’s new visa, immigration, and border harassment policies are projected to cost the American tourism industry over $40 billion this year alone. That’s OK, because all the tourists are now going to Mexico instead! Hacer que Mexico vuelva a ser grande! Buen trabajo, gringo!  Israel has now assassinated more than 270 journalists in Gaza since October 7, 2023. It’s almost as if they want to control the story and make everyone else die trying.” – Ohio Barbarian  – REFLECTIONS ON THE WEEKLY NEWS FROM THE BARBARIAN!!!

Sydney Sweeney, Whiteness, and Eugenics – “Endangered Blondes in America 2.0. Evidently, having a pretty blonde in a jeans ad, with the caption, “Sydney Sweeney has Great Jeans,” is yet another example of the White Privilege which Blacks seem to find everywhere. To my former blue collar worker mind, it just seems like a clever play on words, the kind I enjoy coming up with. But somehow, this has been deemed beyond racist, and perhaps a glorification of Hitler’s National Socialism. You know, Nazism. After all, it’s undeniable that Sweeney has the kind of Aryan looks that would have titillated the Fuhrer, one testicle and all.” – Donald Jeffries

Black Community Leaders in Cincinnati Demand Arrest of Beatdown Victim Who Allegedly ‘Incited’ Mob Violence – Debra Heine  – OF COURSE BECAUSE THE VICTIM WAS WHITE SO A BLACK MOB HAD NO CHOICE OTHER THAN TO BEAT THE MAN AND WOMEN SENSELESS. YOU CAN’T MAKE THIS SHIT UP!!!!

Hoot of the Day: Trump Asks Goldman to Replace Economist Over Tariff Stance – “All that can be said is Tariffs have not amounted to much price inflation yet. But most economists never expected an immediate reaction. As for “late stage”, Trump delayed tariffs so many times, this is early stage, not late stage. Front-running the tariffs was massive. Also, the irony is staggering. Trump warned the automakers, Amazon, and Walmart against raising prices. What does it say when you have to do that? Tariff Confusion – Who Pays the Tariff. Clever questioning forced Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent into admitting the truth. Unfortunately, the reporter needed one more follow-up question: Is Trump ignorant of how tariffs work or is he a liar? I would love to have heard and answer to that.” – Mish

Beef Prices Soar to All-Time High – “Beef prices surged to an all-time high in July as the market grappled with consistently strong demand and long-term issues in domestic production. Meanwhile, the price of ground beef and uncooked beef steaks has risen by 11.5 and 12.4 percent, respectively, both now at record levels. The rising cost of staple agricultural goods such as beef and eggs has put additional strain on Americans’ budgets this year. While the latter has moderated after breaking records in February, shrinking cattle herds continue to weigh heavily on the price of the former.” – Hugh Cameron

Whether it’s inflation, shipping logistics problems, ships hitting bridges, trade wars, supply chain breakdowns, or global or natural disasters, you know it’s not a matter of if, but when something’s going to run out.

Did HHS Secretary Kennedy Really Ban mRNA Vaccines? Trump Fails to Confirm and Instead Boasts About Operation Warp Speed – “Both the Corporate Media and Alternative Media have reacted very strongly to this announcement claiming that the Government has now stopped funding all mRNA vaccines. But their reactions were polar opposites, from horrified by the Pharma-funded corporate media, to overjoyed by the alternative media. Both sides are wrong in their assumption that all funding for mRNA shots was ending. Listen to what he actually said:The money is just being redirected to develop other vaccines. As we look at what the HHS Secretary has done so far since being appointed to his position, we can clearly see that Mr. Kennedy wants MORE vaccines, not less. They just have to be “safe vaccines,” according to him. ” – Brian Shilhavy – AS I HAVE SAID PREVIOUSLY, ALL FOR SHOW OR NOT,  AS THEY HAVEN’T TOTALLY GOTTEN RID OF mRNA RESEARCH!!!!

Negotiations Fever Strikes Again as Trump’s “Deadline” Hits Midnight – Simplicius

Donald Trump’s nuclear war threat – only a storm in a teacup? – “The West is losing its military wars in Europe and in the Middle East. Russia is now crushing the third “Ukrainian” army equipped by NATO and financed by the West. Iran’s counterstrike against USraeli aggression recently destroyed Israel to such an extent that further open acts of war by the West against Iran had to be suspended for the time being. Western air defenses had and still have no effective means against the superior Russian and Iranian missiles and drones. As a result, the West no longer has any means of escalation dominance in conventional warfare. This now lies entirely with Russia and Iran. However, since the West has not abandoned its war aims of regime change in Russia (in order to subsequently fillet and gut the country) and in Iran (in order to regain control of the Middle East), the countries concerned must continue to prepare themselves for corresponding decapitation strikes. As a military means, the West ultimately has no choice but to resort to nuclear weapons, because its conventional weapons are failing.” – Peter Haenseler

TARIFFMANIA – “Tariffs are going to Make America Great Again!!!! Our deficit problems will be cured. The national debt will decline. Our fiscal nightmare is over. Right? Trump is so excited, he can’t sleep. He’s boasting about the billions in tariff revenues at midnight. He ain’t wrong. Trump isn’t bashful about hyping what he believes are outstanding achievements, like quadrupling tariff revenues and forcing those foreign countries to “pay their fair share”. The numbers don’t lie, but a little perspective on the scale and ultimate impact of these tariffs may be helpful. I think a personal anecdote I’ve experienced will show you the devious methods corporations will use to pass these tariffs along. I have been buying a pack of coated paper plates at Wal-Mart for years. The pack contained 70 paper plates. Within the last four months, the pack was reduced to 50 plates, for the same price. They know the average dolt, after years of government schooling, is deficient in math skills, so they would not realize they just experienced a 40% increase in price per plate. This will show up nowhere in the fake BLS numbers. Shrinkflation is just as bad as inflation, but they can hide it and pretend all is well, while maintaining their profits.” – Jim Quinn

Going, Going Gone. . . . – “In case you’re wondering why the Democratic Party is in a death spiral, it is the proportionate response to the damage they have done to American culture and politics. Coming into the 21st century, our country was beset by looming decline. Our industrial base was going, going, gone, and with it millions of well-paying blue-collar jobs, the Democratic Party base. It was replaced by a so-called “financialized economy,” which was sanitized language for sets of swindles and frauds allowed to operate in the de-regulated banking system, in concert with the politicized Federal Reserve and crooked Congressional interests — you notice how many politicians paid $175-K a year somehow acquired multi-million-dollar fortunes? What mainly grew in this period was government and things that fed off of it,” – James Howard Kunstler

Trump warns courts against knocking down tariffs, says duties are ‘huge positive’ for stock market – ““It would be 1929 all over again, a GREAT DEPRESSION,” he added.” – Alex Harring – HE DOESN’T HAVE A CLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does Donald Trump Really “Run the World”? – “Or is he even in charge of the White House? On Wednesday, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, whom I have dubbed the “dog killer,” announced that there would be some new conditions on the disbursement of the $1.9 billion in Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds that have been authorized by Congress in the upcoming “big, beautiful budget.” Bear in mind that the money in the budget comes from taxpayers and is intended to alleviate the suffering of Americans who are enduring natural disasters. The Trump administration has now declared that states and cities will not receive FEMA funding if they choose to boycott or otherwise cease doing business with Israeli companies or individuals. That you are a US tax payer paying taxes to assist fellow Americans in an emergency is irrelevant if Israel is involved. The special case granted to Israel is, by the way, unique. No other country enjoys that same privileged status with the current US government.” – Philip Giraldi  – GUESS WE KNOW WHO IS RUNNING THE SHOW!!!!

Trump Authorizes Military Action Against the Drug Cartels in Major Escalation – “President Donald Trump has directed the Pentagon to target foreign drug cartels, including those in neighboring Mexico. The “secretly signed” order, which isn’t so secret anymore, officially authorizes the use of military force in the battle against the drug trade, including possibly on foreign soil.” – Bonchie  – ANOTHER UNDECLARED WAR DONE IN SECRET!!!!

Homicidal Tariffs Rule the Days Ahead as Far as the Eye Can See – “(But in this clouded mess, that is not far.)” – David Haggith

ALERT! THE GOVERNMENT INITIATES AN EMERGENCY DEBT AUCTION. (RUNNING OUT OF CASH). (Video) – “if you thought that, let’s say, for example, the data was fake before, and it all was to the upside. Imagine if they reported the real stuff. Um, what we’re about to see is going to take on a whole new meaning or not see. How’s that? We’re not going to see anything true anymore. I mean, zero truth.  I believe most of us here thought maybe the data would become more real uh when President Trump got the position behind the Resolute desk. I mean, under Biden, it was unbelievably fake. But now  the issue is that even the mainstream media right now is afraid to report even fake numbers to the upside because what happened at the BLS was a sign of what’s to come.” – Gregory Mannarino

The Gathering Economic Storm – “I suspect Trump knows there is serious trouble afoot; after all, he nearly got ruined in the 1980s by being over-levered during the late 70s and early 80s inflationary mess — which Jimmy Carter got blamed for but which was basically dumped in his lap by fiscal policy in the two prior Administrations. You can call Trump many things but stupid isn’t one of them and he also knows whoever is in the left seat of the airplane when it goes down always gets blamed whether its their fault or not. Trump is, of course, in the left seat as President of the United States. This knowledge is likely behind most of what appear to be recent unhinged rants, whether at Jerome Powell or at the BLS — he’s setting the table to be able to point the finger if and when a huge dislocation-style downdraft occurs.” – Karl Denninger

Expect Big Negative Revisions on GDI, Spending, and Industrial Production – “Job revisions are the tip of the iceberg.” – Mish

Bear squeezes in PMs – “Lack of physical liquidity is putting a bear squeeze on gold, silver, and platinum group metal derivatives. After a bullish consolidation, gold, silver, and PGMs are set to resume rising. Silver is just one metal being squeezed higher. Besides rare earths uranium, platinum group metals, lithium, steel, iron ore, titanium and copper (despite its tariff-related sell-off) have all been in bull markets in the past year. This tells us that stockpiling governments and large multinational manufacturers have been selling dollars for tangible metals. Therefore, it is hardly surprising that some metal derivatives are running into trouble. The shorts in forwards and futures are worried for good reason. In the case of silver, platinum, and palladium short squeezes have the potential to propel prices vertically higher.” – Alasdair Macleod

Is Bitcoin Too Deep In The Fabric Of The U.S. Financial System? – Quoth the Raven

Funding Crisis Fears Grow After Gold Market ‘Upended’ On Report Of US Tariffs On Swiss Bullion – “In a report that has blindsided all bullion market participants, The FT reports that the US has slapped tariffs on imports of one-kilo gold bars, in a move that threatens to upend the global bullion market and deal a fresh blow to Switzerland, the world’s largest refining hub.” – Tyler Durden

How To EMF-Proof Your Home – “While EMPs get a lot of the chatter, there’s another electromagnetic threat that’s far more insidious, ever-present, and already inside your home in the form of EMFs. These electromagnetic fields don’t come from nuclear detonation or solar flares like EMPs do. Instead, they come from your microwave, your Wi-Fi router, your cellphone, and the power lines humming outside your window.” – Eric Beuning

Scrabble and Prepping – Part 1 – “A few years back I was at an auction where a prepper had passed away. He had everything under the sun and appeared to be well stocked in the food department as well as many other areas. While looking over everything before the auction started, I noticed a Scrabble board game. I thought to myself, “Now here’s a guy who was really prepared for TEOTWAWKI.” Standard operating procedure for Scrabble is that during a player’s turn, they can only use the seven tiles in their rack to form words. With prepping, as with many aspects of life, we don’t want to get stuck in a standard operating procedure mindset when putting our preps together. Oftentimes we need to tweak things for our particular situation and use situational operating procedure as long as it still gets the job done.” – St. Funogas

THE BIG PICTURE

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

SUB-ATOMIC CHAOS: A Biblical Sized Risk to Humanity (VIDEO) with Cory Hillis – “In the United States we are ALL being bombarded by dangerous EMF radiation on a daily basis. The negative biological effects CAN include: Fatigue, sleep disturbances, concentration difficulties, headaches, immune system imbalances, cancer, evidence for Alzheimer’s disease, lower sperm count, other reproductive issues & much more. Find out HOW to prevent radiation poisoning and abate these serious health risks ” – SGT Report

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

SMALL MAHA WIN: RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz Just SHUT DOWN a Policy that Turned Hospitals into Vaccine Enforcers – “Some small, but exceptionally welcome news from the stunted, subverted and neutered MAHA movement.” – 2nd Smartest Guy in the World

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

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

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

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

Gold, Geopolitics & the Coming Commodity Clash – “Stagflation Keeps The Fed’s Hands Tied As Trump Slings Insults (VIDEO)” – Money Metals

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

Did Trump Fire the BLS Head for Cause, Being the Messenger, or Something Else? – Mish

It’s Trump’s economy now.

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

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

If you smile at me I will understand
‘Cause that is something
Everybody everywhere does in the same language
I can see by your coat, my friend you’re from the other side
There’s just one thing I got to know
Can you tell me please who won?
 Say can I have some of your purple berries?
Yes, I’ve been eating them
For six or seven weeks now haven’t got sick once
Probably keep us both alive

Wooden ships on the water very free and easy
Easy, you know the way it’s supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline let us be
Talkin’ ’bout very free and easy

Horror grips us as we watch you die
All we can do is echo your anguished cries
Stare as all human feelings die
We are leaving, you don’t need us

Aaaah …
Go take your sister then by the hand
Lead her away from this foreign land
Far away where we might laugh again
We are leaving, you don’t need us

And it’s a fair wind
Blowin’ warm out of the south over my shoulder
Guess I’ll set a course and go

The purge is the point – “Reddit doesn’t want you talking about inflation; no one wants you talking about inflation. The thread was nothing special at first glance. Just another user on Reddit’s r/MiddleClassFinance noting that grocery prices are creeping up. It was nothing radical either, considering r/Middle Class Finance is described as “a place to come and discuss financial issues that affect the middle class.” What was the comment? No idea (we’ll get to that, stay with us). But the headline read: Prices keep creeping up. Inflation is coming people. Prepare. The digital team at FingerLakes.com noticed: The post has sparked over 1,500 comments in just 48 hours, revealing a deeply shared concern: inflation never truly went away — and now, it’s accelerating again.

BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU – “Without personal privacy, we are all potential victims of the “secret police.” Cameras are everywhere watching the people. Red light cameras are automated systems used by law enforcement to monitor intersections and catch drivers who run red lights or aren’t wearing their seatbelts. License readers have gone up all over the country. Stores and public buildings are equipped with cameras. The self-checkout lanes at groceries are equipped with cameras.

So Long, American Dream, it was Good to Know You – “Goodbye white picket fences, George Carlin once cleverly noted, “That’s why they call it the American Dream- because you have to be asleep to believe it.” By the time he said that, it was a bleak but mostly true observation. The destruction of the American Dream is reflected everywhere around us. The crumbling infrastructure, crying out for attention like a starving Palestinian. The rise in obesity, chronic illness, and slovenliness. “Smart” phones, which have helped to destroy eye to eye communication. Dwindling marriage rates and plummeting birth rates, especially for young Whites. Every poll shows that a clear majority of young girls have no interest in becoming mothers. This is a pure recipe for extinction.” – Donald Jeffries

Any Strong Wind – “When the Biden Administration saw fit to indict and try not only the former president, but also several of his cabinet members and advisors it demonstrated that no one was above the law. Now, however, with much more serious crimes than Trump was ever charged with, the Democrats believe that they cannot be charged, indicted and put in prison, though they were the motivating factors behind such treatment of a president and his staff. This is typical communist double-speak. They only mean “no one is above the law” when it pertains to their enemies, not themselves.” – T.L. Davis

Here we’ve got the soon-to-be democratic socialist mayor of Minneapolis, Omar Fetah, in 2021 demanding $400 million from the taxpayers to invest in “anti-racism” measures — a euphemism for training white people to hate themselves and allow themselves to be steam-rolled by Third World migrants with one hand open, waiting for the cash, and the other clutching a tire iron to deliver Diversity™ via blunt force, if need be:” – Ben Bartee

The mainstream press has its narrative, and they have shown they are willing to run with whatever badly-sourced garbage is given to them if they feel it can damage ICE’s mission to enforce immigration laws. ” – Bonchie  – WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE ON FACEBOOK WILL RETRACK THIS STORY AFTER POSTING THIS “BS”!!!!

Not Knowing The ‘Enemy’ – “I am always amazed how little western governments are aware of their own (lack of) capabilities as well as of the nature and capabilities of their ‘enemies’. They tend to not know the basic economic and sociological facts about their opponents. They operate on whatever nonsense they have come to believe about their ‘enemies’. They overestimate their own position, miscalculate and are astonished when, as a result, the factual situation turns against them.” – Moon of Alabama

Trump’s Tariffs Didn’t Spike Prices—Here’s What Did – “Tariffs Aren’t Tanking the Economy (Yet)” – Peter Nayland Kust

Blame Covid: America’s Economy Hits a Wall – “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the seeds of this economic crisis were sown the moment we let COVID panic override common sense. We injected trillions into the system under the guise of “relief,” inflated asset bubbles, distorted labor incentives, and trained both Wall Street and Main Street to expect free money forever. We turned off the economy, paid people not to work, and then acted shocked when inflation spiked, supply chains broke, and productivity cratered. And when the bill came due? ” – Justin Hart

Where Americans Spend their Trillions a Year on Goods and How that Changed Over Time – “Where they spend has changed dramatically, with only two winners that gained share among the retailer categories. The rest lost share, some are getting wiped out.” – Wolf Richter

As the Fed turns – “The next meeting of the FOMC takes place on July 29-30. We expect the Committee to keep the target range for the federal funds rate unchanged at 4.25-4.50% as the majority of the Committee is waiting for more clarity about trade policy and the impact of tariffs on the economy. There will be no new projections, so we only have the formal statement and Powell’s post-meeting press conference to look forward to. During the press conference Powell is likely to repeat that the Committee is waiting for more clarity about trade policy and the impact of tariffs on the economy. Powell has repeatedly said that the Fed is waiting for more clarity about trade policy and the impact of tariffs on the economy. The FOMC would like to address the part of the dual mandate that shows the largest and most persistent deviation. At the same time, the Committee wants to prevent tariffs from turning from a one time price increase to something more persistent.” – Philip Marey

Why Curing the National Debt Could Kill the Patient – “The biggest threat to your wealth today isn’t inflation or recession – it’s a deliberate policy shift meant to stabilize the national debt. This may be the only way out of our debt trap. But how much of our prosperity will it cost us?” – Peter Reagan

Preparedness Primer for an Uncertain Future – Part 1 – “A lot of young people today talk about “life hacks” meaning a way to do things more efficiently, especially those things that are done in an unconventional fashion. Whenever I hear about “life hacks,” it brings a chuckle in that most of these life hacks are just common sense. Common sense is in fairly short supply, so these seems like nuggets of incredible wisdom. In the next few days, maybe you will discover some “life hacks” for smoother sailing on your preparedness journey.” – Single Farmer

SO MUCH FOR BOBBY AND MAHAHAHA!!!!!!

NEWS

Mistrusting Government about Epstein and More – “The willingness of so many Trump allies to openly criticize the Epstein announcement and other actions like the bombing of Iran is a positive development. Advancing liberty requires that more people refuse to automatically trust government officials, whether concerning Epstein, wars, the economy, or other important matters. Widespread questioning of government presents an opportunity for the liberty movement. ” – Ron Paul

Will John Brennan Ever Tell the Truth? – “John Brennan spent years lying to Congress, the press, and the public—yet now claims he’s “clueless” about a DOJ investigation. He’s only clueless about how not to lie.” – Victor Davis Hanson

The Epstein Saga – “As Epstein was murdered to keep him quiet, it was obvious no files would be released. AG Bondi said she had the files and videos and was going through them. But then the men in black paid a visit, and suddenly there were no files. Moreover, the authorities concluded that Epstein committed suicide in his prison cell. So we are left with the puzzle, there is no evidence that Epstein did anything wrong, so he committed suicide for no reason. If Epstein had no client list, to whom was he trafficking the minors? The stink is so strong that Dan Bongino, the deputy director of the FBI, is reportedly considering resigning.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Missiles to Moscow: Trump Prepares to Escalate – “It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s SuperTrump! Trump likes to claim the big finish. The Houthis were finished, but they aren’t. He’s done now with Epstein, but far from it. The war with Iran was over in twelve days with Iran nuclear capability “obliterated,” but it’s not. So, no wonder Trump is not happy that the war he would end in Ukraine in 24 hours keeps dragging on. Russia is making almost no progress, in spite of attacks that have been more intense. Trump promised a big announcement about Putin’s Ukraine invasion for today, but it’s not completely clear what the big announcement was. As Trump likes to say, I guess we’ll find out in a couple of weeks.” – David Haggith

Trump’s Weapons Magic Show is Smoke & Mirrors Masterclass – “Trump finally ‘wowed’ the world today with his grand announcement on punitive measures against Russia. As usual, the announcement struck a dull and lackluster chord for most, with Russian markets jubilantly jumping by nearly 3% in response. But let’s dig in to see whether there is actually more meat on the bone of Trump’s scary threats than people give credit for.” – Simplicius

Threatening The Russians With An Ultimatum Will Backfire Severely And Will Set The Stage For Nuclear War – Michael Snyder

Trump sets up massive shell-game deception to keep Ukrainian war machine going and threaten Russia with an ultimatum – “Trump announces deal to ‘sell’ US weapons to US-dominated NATO, which would then funnel them to Ukraine. It would be a boon for US weapons makers but how does this benefit the American taxpayer?” – Leo Hohmann

Trump’s “Major Statement” On Russia Is A Clumsy Attempt To Thread The Needle – “His threatened secondary sanctions could majorly backfire by harming the US’ own interests.” – Andrew Korybko

Trump terrified by BRICS strategic threat – “You want war? Bring it on. This is it. The ruling classes of the Empire of Chaos, plus the current, clownish Circus Ringmaster have finally realized that BRICS is a serious strategic threat – and existential challenge – to their unilateral domination of the current system of international relations. They didn’t come to this conclusion by carefully scrutinizing the BRICS annual summit in Rio – or last year’s ground-breaking summit in Kazan for that matter: they are lousy at doing basic homework. It’s more like they were awakened from their torpor by feeling in their skins which way the – global – wind is blowing,” – Pepe Escobar

Charting The U.S. Pharma Supply Chain As Trump Threatens 200% Tariffs – “”A 200% tariff would inflate production costs, compress profit margins, and risk supply chain disruptions, leading to drug shortages and higher prices for U.S. consumers,” Barclays analysts wrote last week. ” – Tyler Durden

Tariffs Built America—Can They Save It? – “Hamilton and McKinley used tariffs to build a productive America, not crash it” – Kane McGukin

Regime Change for Whom? – “The Incestuous Partnership Between the USA and Israel is Ripe for Regime Change. The Zionist fusion of the United States of America with Israel has become a thoroughgoing disaster causing grave damage across many frontiers of rapid ruination. As is currently on broad public display, the fusion of these two polities is contributing to the downfall of many important pillars of global civilization.” – Anthony James Hall

Inflation Makes A Comeback – “Consumer Price Inflation Rose More Than Expected” – Peter Nayland Kust

Fed’s Nightmare: CPI Inflation in Services Reheats (not tariffed), while Inflation in Durable Goods, Apparel & Footwear (tariffed) Remains Cool – “While pundits looked with their magnifying glasses for tariffs in consumer goods prices, it was in services, which are not tariffed, where inflation took off again. Shocker? No” – Wolf Richter

Gold Revaluation Speculation – “Since February, there has been speculation that the U.S. government might be planning a revaluation or remonetization of its gold hoard. These theories have been popping up again over the past few weeks, so here’s an update.” – Craig Hemke

Housing Bust Intensifies As Inventories Surge – “Check out the delusional asking prices” – John Rubino

Silver’s Breakout? – “And does anybody remember when American dollars were real money?” – Matthew Bracken

Michael Oliver Just Predicted The Price Of Silver Will Hit $160-$240 – “What is going on right now is silver is compensating for having been restrained for so long by forces that are trying to hold it back. And the problem with that is that when it bites them they are on the short side of the market so the squeeze is them exiting what are now vulnerable short positions. And so I think that is the main driving force in silver in this slingshot move is killing the forces that have stood in its way for several years. The technicals argue to us that both silver and the gold and silver miners are now in gear to outpace gold, and by enough multiples to make the moves awesome — I think in a way that will drop people’s jaws. ” – King World News

The Futility of Price Stability Policies – “There is almost complete unanimity among economists that the most important role of the central bank is to attain price stability. Allegedly, the policy of price stability promotes economic growth and individual well-being. According to popular thinking, a policy of price stability increases the visibility of the relative changes in the prices of goods and services.” – Frank Shostak

Smart States Are Embracing Gold And Silver – “Dumb states, not so much.It’s nice that states are separating themselves into “smart” and “stupid” categories so Americans can tell where and where not to live. The issue of sound money, in particular, is indicative of a whole range of other likely tax/spend/regulate policies that affect quality of life. ” – John Rubino

How Do You Define an “Emergency Situation”? – “Throughout our lifetimes we may see many types of emergencies not just the Schumer Hits The Fan (SHTF) types of emergencies such as nuclear war or economic collapse that we should be prepared for. I have found that in my life choosing the prepper lifestyle has aided me in many such emergencies. Once, for instance, I found when I was laid off from work that my preparedness and stringently frugal rationing kept my family fed.” – A.Y.

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

Mutant Rice and Gates’s Lab Rats: Grand Experiments in India’s Fields – “In late 2024, Bill Gates sparked outrage in India after describing the country as “a kind of laboratory to try things” during a podcast with Reid Hoffman. 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

Vaccine developed in Nebraska could signal end to annual flu shot – “Effort could reduce the impact and spread of swine flu, bird flu and flu in humans. The study, “Epitope-Optimized Vaccine Elicits Cross-Species Immunity Against Influenza A Virus,” describes a vaccine that protects against H1N1 swine flu and can also protect against influenza in birds and humans.” – Cindy Gonzalez  – HERE WE GO, ONE JAB TO RULE THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

35 people died the same day as their Covid shot. Authorities did not investigate – “Australians are routinely assured that deaths arising from Covid vaccination are vanishingly rare, based on the drug safety regulator’s claim that it has identified only 14 deaths linked to vaccination out of more than 70 million doses given. The other thousand plus deaths reported to the Therapeutic Goods Administration’s (TGA) safety surveillance database, the DAEN, are widely assumed to be merely coincidental,” – Rebekah Barnett

NEWS

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

SITREP 5/12/25: More ‘Talks’ Games as Russian Machine Barrels Forward – “Again the smokescreen of peace talks tries desperately to overshadow mounting Russian advances. 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

Third-Party Mediation Between Russia & Ukraine Is Approaching Its Limits – “Trump is about to be placed into a dilemma due to his unwillingness or inability to coerce Ukraine into Russia’s demanded concessions.” – Andrew Korybko

ECONOMIC NEWS

Many Americans are struggling with food price inflation. Here’s how to save on groceries – “Americans are feeling the pressure of higher prices at the supermarket. 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

THIS IS THE CON-JOB OF THE CENTURY… AND WE ARE OUT OF TIME. (IMPORTANT UPDATES). (VIDEO) – “This is a headline this morning. This is from CNBC 77% of Americans right now are feeling the pinch of, uh, well food price inflation.  Look what they do here.  Food price inflation.  They can’t say currency purchasing power loss because , you see, that would put a whole different spin on it.  And it’s not just food prices which are rising on the back of currency  which is being evaporated.  We all know that here.  It’s everything and this is going to accelerate” – Gregory Mannarino

The “One Big Beautiful Bill” Will Continue Spending at Biden’s Level – “The bill is certainly big, but it’s damn ugly.” – Mish

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 BIG PICTURE

The Empty Rhetoric of MAHA – “RFK Jr says, the most effective way to prevent the spread of measles is the MMR vaccine. The power of rhetoric is that it seems to work without fail in every election. And so many are surprised to see this complete reversal to what he was saying before the 2024 election. “If your kids were young now, would you give them the measles, the mumps vaccine?”  “No. i have measles mumps when i was a kid. Back then, you know, we were treated with chicken soup and it was, you know, a week at home watching Leave it to Beaver and every kid caught it. Every single kid got it. And I had 11 brothers and sisters and we all got it and we were all fine.”” – Greg Reese

Totally Insane – “The world is collapsing, and I don’t know anymore whether I crave it or am repulsed by it. My heart and head conclude differently. Am I going insane or am I a rational thinker in a world that’s gone insane? I don’t know anymore. Red buttons everywhere. And they’re being smashed like a toddler with a new plaything. No regard for consequences. No methodology or process. Just governance by emotion, hate, and retribution.” – Sarah Connor

Food Armageddon – “Food Armageddon is not a metaphor. This report explores the converging crises threatening the global food supply—from collapsing bee populations and rice shortages in Asia to skyrocketing coffee, egg, and beef prices. Climate extremes, pesticide use, trade disruption, and economic desperation are fueling what may become the most severe food shock in modern history.” – Dr. Sircus

The Other Cost of Inflation – “While the pernicious effects of inflation have been exhaustively detailed in recent years, one effect of inflation has received little attention: its impact on morality. The idea that inflation could affect morality might sound strange to some readers; It certainly did to me when I first heard the hypothesis. Still, like just about anything, morality can be studied, and empirical evidence can be gathered. And there’s persuasive evidence that supports the idea that inflation corrupts.” – Jon Miltimore

Renowned Data Analyst Warns Excess Deaths Are Surging ‘Off the Charts’ – “Ed Dowd has just dropped a chilling warning after uncovering evidence showing that the number of excess deaths of working-age Americans is skyrocketing. According to an alarming warning from Dowd, a leading Wall Street analyst, insurance industry data shows that excess deaths are soaring among people aged 18 to 64 years old. These deaths started exploding after the Covid mRNA “vaccines” were rolled out for public use in early 2021. However, the deaths appear to show no signs of slowing down, despite the pandemic being long over and vaccination rates dropping off.” – Frank Bergman

The Wuhan World Military Games “SARS-CoV-2” early spread story is total BS… – “..and probably deliberately propagated. ” – Jonathan Engler

The Wicked Flee – “The decade-long treasonous hectoring of Mr. Trump keeps on coming, you understand, for the simple reason that there have been absolutely zero consequences for any of the vicious rogues behind it. Not so much as a rap on the knuckles for seeking to overthrow a president, steal elections, hide high crimes, rob the treasury, and recklessly frame the innocent. And suddenly this week, as startling as a mythic goddess of justice riding a spring zephyr, comes a brisk demonstration of exactly what-to-do. Days ago, Governor Phil Murphy of New Jersey ordered his state police to not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement officers (ICE) — a nice bit of grandstanding for a guy seeking to occupy the Democratic Party’s leadership vacuum. So, Thursday night, newly-appointed US Attorney for the New Jersey federal district, Alina Habba, opened a criminal investigation against Gov. Murphy for “obstruction and concealment.” That means, possibly, jail. Badda-bing! This ain’t no foolin’ around.” – James Howard Kunstler

Stats with cats: assessing NAFTA – “Separating data from myth. here’s a chart of the % of US employment in manufacturing. It had been dropping for 40 years before NAFTA and dropped for 15 more afterwards all at essentially the exact same rate. NAFTA did not bend this curve a degree. You literally cannot even see it. This makes the idea that it had some sort of profound effect on employment look pretty implausible For while correlation does not prove causality, a lack of correlation sure does make causality unlikely” – El Gato Malo

90 days. An essay on Trump, China and Ireland’s future – “If the first 90 days of Trump 2.0 have been exciting, unprecedented and seemingly moving at break-neck speed – my hunch is the next 90 days – will actually decide the long-term success or failure of it.” – Gerry O’Neill – GOOD READ FROM ACROSS THE POND FROM GERRY!!!

The IRS Isn’t Going Away, and This is How We Know – “Trump has no plans to get rid of payroll taxes, and he has no plans to make big cuts to spending. This virtually guarantees that the IRS isn‘t going anywhere.” – Ryan McMaken

Trump targets sanctuary cities: Who will be the first fool? – “After DOGE, the border shutdown, and the tariff and trade debacle, it’s pretty obvious that President Trump doesn’t mess around. So now he’s announced that sanctuary cities are a target for federal defunding: It makes perfect sense. Why should cities and states shielding illegally present criminals from repatriation to their homelands get so much as a dime of federal funding from other taxpayers? If they can’t obey a sensible law about getting rid of people who have committed crimes against Americans, what crimes are they themselves up to? ” – Monica Showalter

Venezuela’s Ongoing War on America – “God hates bribes… During the American Revolution, Benedict Arnold and his wife Peggy secretly colluded with British Major John André in hopes of receiving a large bribe (over $3 million in today’s dollars) for Arnold to betray his brothers in arms and surrender the American Fort at West Point. Now 245 years later, we are learning that certain members of our federal government have facilitated the Venezuelan regime’s current “narco-invasion” of America. With the help of Democrat puppet Joe Biden, his administration busted the border wide open to mostly military-aged men and launched traitorous cellphone apps to help them. These American traitors rolled out the red carpet for thousands of Venezuelan narco-criminals and provided them with incentives and protections after they arrived…. But why?” – Jim McCraigh

Deflation! – “Welcome To “Interesting Times”! Consumers got some welcome news with yesterday’s release of the March Consumer Price Index Summary from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in the form of falling prices. While the current data is rather optimistic on these points, the raging tariff debate could easily upset the consumer price applecart and moot any conclusions we are tempted to reach about future inflation. To borrow from the apocryphal Chinese curse, welcome to “interesting times”!” – Peter Nayland Kust

The Consumer Is Tapping Out – “At the heart of the problem is the collapse of household balance sheets in the lower-income and middle-income brackets. These groups have depleted the excess savings accumulated during the pandemic and are turning to high-interest borrowing to bridge the gap. ” – Lance Roberts

A Wave Of Panic Buying Has Suddenly Erupted At Retailers All Over America – Michael Snyder

Does a Reserve Currency Require Trade Deficits? – “Is America doomed to permanent trade deficits because we are the world’s reserve currency? This is something called the Triffin Dilemma, and it’s been making the rounds since Trump’s worldwide tariffs. In short, Triffin says that if you’re the reserve currency, the rest of the world needs dollars. And they can only get them by selling you more stuff than you sell them. That surplus gives them excess dollars, which they save or use to back their banking system. A number of commenters I normally respect have used this to criticize Trump, saying we have to run deficits, so Trump is doomed to fail. This is false.” – Peter St Onge

Why Preppers Want Brushless Motors – “In the realm of survivalism and long-term self-sufficiency, efficiency and reliability are the main traits we want to look for. Every single component, from tools to vehicles, must be optimized for longevity and minimal resource consumption. This is the way you save money, space, and time. Traditional brushed motors rely on physical carbon brushes to transfer electrical current to the motor’s commutator.

THE BIG PICTURE

Fire Them All – Charge Them, Destroy Them, They Deserve It – “Modern medicine has betrayed us. What we face today is not simply a failure of public health. It is a betrayal so vast, entrenched, and so criminal in its consequences that no reform will suffice. The CDC, FDA, and allied institutions have not merely made mistakes; they have lied, covered up, and sacrificed generations of children on the altar of pharmaceutical profit. These institutions must be dismantled. Their leaders must be charged. Their records must be exposed.” – Dr. Sircus

MAHA Means Nothing if Chemtrails Not Stopped (VIDEO) with Dane Wigington – “Climate engineering researcher Dane Wigington says huge lies are still being told daily, even in the new Trump Administration, to cover up deadly and destructive climate engineering (aka Chemtrails). This continues 24/7 to implode the environment on a global scale. Now, so-called news outlets like CNN are telling us Chemtrails are only jet engine exhaust, which is a lie debunked more than a decade ago. Wigington explains, “There is no legitimate dispute as to what is taking place in our skies. This is so profound that everyone openly acknowledges that, yes, there is weather modification, and it has been going on for many, many decades. ” – Greg Hunter

☢️ NON-IONISING RADIATION ☢️ – “A known carcinogen since 1970. Most previous studies have involved effects of ionizing radiation on the human body.

Tariff Freak Out: Why So Many People Cling To The Cancer Of Globalism – “My response? Finally this farce of a market is facing a correction and smacking people in the face with five fingers of reality! I applaud the event because it’s something that needed to happen years ago. Most skeptics are wrong on the tariff issue, mainly because they think the stock market matters. It doesn’t. People are also terrified of tariffs because they think globalism matters. It doesn’t. This position might upset those who are heavily invested right now, but I would argue they are missing the macro picture and they need to look at the situation from a position of inevitability. Tariffs and the end of globalism are a necessary outcome. Here’s why we shouldn’t fear the Reaper…” – Brandon Smith

April 15 Provides A Wonderful Lesson On How Government Conditioned Americans To Tyranny – ” the medieval era was brought back to Americans with the income tax in the second decade of the 20th Century. From their inception until 1913–really until 1918–Americans were still a free people. The income tax introduced in 1913, along with the Federal Reserve–two disastrous events in American history–turned free Americans into the serfs of the government. Your labor, and the income from it, no longer belongs to you. Your feudal lord, your “constitutional democratic” government, has the same claim to your labor as a feudal lord had on a serf’s labor in the medieval era.” – Paul Craig Roberts

A young boy is murdered, and the accused has a history of assaulting children—oh, and he’s also an illegal – “But, Amy Coney Barrett thinks he has a right to be here.” – Olivia Murray

Collapsing Empire: The Delusion of US Air Power – “Ever since March 15th, Washington has barraged Sanaa from the sky, killing and injuring countless innocent civilians while destroying vital infrastructure. For example, on April 2nd, US jets targeted a reservoir in western Yemen, cutting off access to water for over 50,000 people. Three days later, Donald Trump gloatingly posted a horrific video on social media of a tribal gathering being incinerated in a US airstrike – the President falsely claimed the individuals were in fact “Houthis gathered for instructions on an attack.” Moreover, “in just three weeks, the Pentagon has used $200 million worth of munitions, in addition to the immense operational and personnel costs to deploy two aircraft carriers, additional B-2 bombers and fighter jets, as well as Patriot and THAAD air defenses to the Middle East.” The operation’s total cost to date could exceed “well over $1 billion by next week.”” – Kit Klarenberg   – TULSI CALLED HIM THE PRESIDENT OF PEACE AND HE PROMISED TO GET US OUT OF WARS IF ELECTED. THERE’S YOUR PROOF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Data Analyst Uncovers GPS Data Linking Chicago Protesters to Multiple Demonstrations – “If you’re wondering why vibes don’t equal votes, however, you may want to pay attention to entrepreneur and data expert Tony Seruga. He’s been taking a look at these crowds via GPS data — and, surprise surprise, it looks like they’ve been inflating things.” – Trent Walker

Reactions to ATF Ending ‘Zero Tolerance’ EXACTLY What You’d Expect – “What is happening now is that dealers who make paperwork errors aren’t facing the loss of their business, to say nothing of possible prison time, simply because of a good-faith mistake. This isn’t about dealers who are throwing guns sold to criminals on the 4473s of lawful purchasers to cover the paperwork. It’s not about the guys selling guns out of the back of the store and then pretending the guns were stolen. None of those kinds of offenses are going to slide without a “zero tolerance” policy.” – Tom Knighton

Hard Truth in a World Inflamed with Lies – “Stocks and bonds are both getting hammered, lit on fire in formerly overheated markets, and then hammered some more.” – David Haggith

Payments for the Next 20 Years? – “Car loans went from three or four years back in the ’70s and ’80s to six years today, chiefly on account of the rising cost of new cars. More finely, because most people could not deal with the monthly payments on a new car anymore – unless those payments were lowered by extending the number of years they’d be making them. But how about making payments for the next 20 years? Not on a car. On a travel trailer (camper) or RV?” – Eric Peters

3 Shocking Truths Most People Don’t Know About Money in Bank Accounts… – “Henry Ford once astutely observed that a revolution would occur overnight if people truly understood the banking and monetary system. Large banks can fail within hours, and life savings can vanish overnight. The US banking system is particularly vulnerable. So, why do so many people place their confidence—and life savings—into such a fragile system? It’s because they don’t understand three fundamental truths about modern banking: #1. The money isn’t yours. #2. The money isn’t actually there. #3. The money isn’t really money.” – Nick Giambruno

RETAIL DEMAND ALERT: Gold & Silver Rise Amid Stock Market Chaos – Money Metals  – BOTH ARE REBOUNDING TODAY AS WELL!!!

Watch the Gold/Silver Ratio – “Just a quick reminder that in times of market stress, gold and silver will sometimes diverge, with gold catching a safe haven bid and silver selling off as a cyclical industrial commodity. During such times, silver can get very cheap relative to gold, an imbalance that’s usually rectified by silver outperforming for a while. This looks like one of those times, with the gold/silver ratio (the number of silver ounces it takes to buy an ounce of gold) spiking to 100. Historically, a reading of 90 is a strong silver buy signal. And 100 is rare enough to be noteworthy.” – John Rubino

Knowledge and Survival Strategies of Native Americans – “Even today, their reputation for living in harmony with nature is legendary. While they may not live like they used to, their belief system is still in alignment with their desire to be one with nature. Actually, it goes further than that, as the religion of the Native Americans is a pagan religion. In other words, they actually deify nature and worship it. They saw their place as being part of nature, not as being separated from it, like many other religions. This may seem unimportant; but it is their attitude towards nature and their place in it, that has caused them to become such great survival experts.” – Bill White

Some of us have been in a multi-day grid-down situation at least once in our lives. For some, it is an inconvenience, for others an adventure. We get out the flashlights, candles, or oil lamps and we wait anxiously for the power to come back on. Whatever form of backup lighting we currently have for a temporary blackout is probably good enough for the short term. If not, a quick trip to Walmart this weekend can get us all the preps we need to make it through a four-day ice storm or hurricane. But how prepared are we for the new normal that would accompany TEOTWAWKI?” – St. Funogas

THE TARIFF PROS AND CONS CONTINUE!

THE BIG PICTURE

BRACE FOR IMPACT! What IS Happening, What WILL Happen, (AND WHAT ACTION TO TAKE NOW). (VIDEO) – Gregory Mannarino  – GREG ON THE BIG PICTURE, A MUST WATCH AGAIN. HIS ECONOMIC NEWS IS SECONDARY TODAY!!!!!

Who Cares? – “I constantly complain about how the sheep-folk don’t see the world falling apart around them. They don’t see the erosion of our freedom of speech rights, they don’t see children being coerced into medications and “gender-affirming” surgery, and they don’t see the unfairness in allowing men to compete in women’s sports. They also obviously do not see the horrors of wars and of their government’s support of killing people in other countries. They don’t see dozens of other things as well: Big Pharma killing us all, the medical industry going haywire, education dumbing down our kids. They don’t see it. And I stupidly thought that if they did see it, they would want to do something about it. Now I don’t think that. Now I think that they simply don’t care.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

CONFIRMED: Operation Warp Speed Vaccine Chief Was Ousted for Blocking RFK Jr.’s Access Safety Data – “He (Peter Marks) was definitely the guard dog of the databases. He was the guard dog stopping RFK Jr. from creating an FDA committee to analyze the safety of the mRNA shots and to analyze the safety of all childhood vaccines.” – Karen Kingston

CLOT SHOT PLANDEMIC UNFOLDING: Fibrous, rubbery clots caused by covid injections have prion-like seeding activity – “Embalmers continue to find unusual white, rubbery clots in 27% of corpses in 2024, suggesting a persistent issue linked to COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. Lab tests identified amyloid proteins in these clots, with some exhibiting prion-like seeding activity, raising concerns about neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Creutzfeldt-Jakob) developing earlier in life.” – S.D. Wells

27% ‘Higher Risk of Influenza’ Among Vaccinated: Cleveland Clinic – “Study of 53,402 participants.” – Jon Fleetwood

The climate scaremongers: MPs challenge Mad Ed’s power plans – “The Committee recommend that ‘the Department should set out . . . how it will make sure there is capacity in the grid when there is low generation from renewable energy during periods of calm weather, including from wider technologies like nuclear’. The Committee have very good reasons to be concerned. In November NESO, the National Energy System Operator, published a report which looked into the implications of fully decarbonising Britain’s electricity system by 2030 under Labour’s Clean Power 2030 programme. The results were not pretty.” – Paul Homewood

NEWS

The Great Transition – “Last week, Trump stunned the world by following through on what he has been promising since he came down the escalator in 2015. He imposed across-the-board tariffs on every country in the world—except Russia. The reason Russia was excluded is that they are already sanctioned to the maximum. This set off the Great Trump Stock Market Crash, which promises to continue this week as the rest of the world responds to the new world order. The old trading models no longer work, so the default fallback in these conditions is cash. The yesterday men and the crazies are sure this is the Great Depression, because their history of the world starts in the 1930s” – The Z Man

Farewell, Fugazy! – “That ruckus you hear in the capital markets is the sickening howl of the Fugazy Economy meeting its extinction. Fugazy means fake, unreal, dishonest, misaligned to what societies need to thrive. Fugazy means mis-using the time-value of things that purport to be wealth to multiply fake wealth in the hands of a few at the expense of the many. The pernicious effects of that system are visible all across the ruined landscape of our country, a nation of broken cities, failed towns, and a demoralized populace. Mr. Trump apparently aims to convert the expiring Fugazy economy into a production economy — yikes! — based on making things of value, and perhaps more importantly, of people at all social levels having meaningful roles in the making and moving of things. ” – James Howard Kunstler

Musk Gets Into Ugly Feud Over Tariffs With Trump’s Top Trade Adviser – “I was wondering when Elon Musk would go totally rogue. It’s happened.” – Mish

Will Trump End the Fed or Put Himself in Charge of It? – “We think of the president as the Chief Executive, but a hands-off-the-Fed approach tells us otherwise. For the moment the Fed might be untouchable. But its creator was the state, and all it takes is courage to do away with it, which is why it’s been wreaking havoc for over a century. According to a March 6, 2025 article in International Banker, Trump’s allies have devised a plan that would oust current Fed chair Jerome Powell before his term is up in 2026 and give the US president a role in monetary-policy making. Given Trump’s personality—variously described as impulsive, charismatic, and resilient—it’s almost a given that a plan such as this would effectively make him the Chairman of the FOMC. Trump wants lower interest rates to go “hand-in-hand” with his tariffs, whether the free market wants them or not.” – George Ford Smith

The Dark Rooms of Bureaucracy – “We are in a war for the very soul of America and while we might not be as lost as say the UK, Ireland or France, we’re on the same road, can see our destiny in them, if we’re not very particular about how to go about the defense of our Western heritage. We hear the echoes of a different generation, the founding generation, and while we know the words and mean them as much as they did, we don’t act the way they did. In some respects, we can’t. Surveillance wouldn’t allow for us to be able to gather, cache or act the way they were able to, but they had some serious constraints as well.” – T.L. Davis

President Trump’s Five-Front Game of Chicken – “The stakes are higher than they’ve ever been for our trade relationships across the globe. The odds seemed stacked against President Trump. Can he pull it off for America?” – JD Rucker

Federal Spending in 2025 Is on Track to be the Highest Ever – “For the first five months of the 2025 fiscal year, federal spending is coming in at the highest level ever. This is true even when we adjust for CPI inflation. This largely reflects Biden-era spending since the current fiscal year began during October 2024, during the Biden administration.” – Ryan McMaken

It’s like if everyone in Nazi Germany had screens in their homes broadcasting exactly what was happening inside the extermination camps the entire time. Nobody can say they didn’t know. That claim does not exist for us.” – Caitlin Johnstone

Kash Patel promotes an FBI agent who called J6 patriots and moms at school board meetings ‘terrorists’ – “Guys, I think we’ve been played. What else can we expect from a Pam Bondi DOJ though? I certainly didn’t want a lawyer who’s an advocate of red flag laws and stacked the deck against George Zimmerman while she headed up the Florida AG’s office to be in charge of the federal government’s “justice” department. And here’s a question for Bondi, Patel, and “ex” CIA agent Bongino: Where are the Epstein lists?” – Olivia Murray

The death of the Great British boozer (VIDEO) – “Luke Johnson joins Chris Snowdon and Tom Slater for the latest episode of Last Orders, the spiked podcast all about freedom and the nanny state. They discuss why so many pubs are closing down, the galaxy-brained plan to ban cigarette filters and what Trump’s tariffs will mean for the world. ” – Spiked / Last Orders

White House Skewers Obama & Kamala After They Crawl Out Of Holes To Attack Trump – “Neither are in any position to weigh in” – Steve Watson

Trump Orders Iran to Give Up Its “Perfectly Legal” Defensive Weapons – “As you can see, none of this has anything to do with nuclear enrichment, secret weapons programs or nonproliferation. What we’re seeing is the predictable behavior of a politician who was shoehorned into the Oval Office on the back of more than $100 million in campaign contributions from wealthy Zionist donors. IMHO, those donations were made with a clear understanding that Trump would launch a war on Israel’s most formidable enemy, Iran. The United States is being dragged into another Middle East bloodbath as payback to the Israeli donor class.” – Mike Whitney

It’s also important to keep certain plants apart so they don’t hurt each other.” – Heidi Hawthorn  – HAVE LINKED ABOUT COMPANION PLANTING BEFORE!!!

A Prepper’s Worst Nightmare – “I’ve been prepping since before it was cool. Long before reality shows and survival YouTubers with million-dollar bunkers, I was squirreling away supplies, learning to start fires in the rain, and convincing my wife that yes, we really did need another solar battery charger. And for the most part, I felt ready. I had food, I had gear, I had plans A through Z. But there’s one scenario that still haunts me. The one thing that, no matter how much gear I’ve stockpiled or skills I’ve sharpened, could bring it all crashing down. And it’s probably not what you think. Forget nuclear war, EMPs, or roving gangs of desperate people. My worst nightmare? Complacency.” – Matt Wright
