THE BIG PICTURE

The Great Eldercide + Letter to the Salvation Army General – “The Normalization of Medical Murder + Guest Letter by Karin Schroeder; Please Help Us Save Karin’s 97-Year-Old Mum & Her 464 Fellow Care Home Residents. It’s not like medical murder is anything new. It’s just that it’s becoming legally and socially acceptable—from Canada’s popular Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program to the Netherlands’s Termination of Life on Request and Assisted Suicide (Review Procedures) Act to Switzerland’s stylish suicide machines.” – Margaret Anna Alice and Karin Schroeder

The Truth About Salt – “What they don’t tell us about salt and how to select the healthiest options. A corner stone of cementing the blood pressure market has been to make everyone terrified of salt (much in the same way making people terrified of the sun is a cornerstone of the lucrative skin cancer treatment market—despite the fact the deadly skin cancers are actually due to a lack of sunlight). Remarkably, much like the great dermatology scam (which has been able to make a massive amount of money from removing cancers that almost never become life threatening) the link between blood pressure and salt consumption is actual quite tenuous.” – A Midwestern Doctor

Chemotherapy Is Mustard Gas – “The upshot is that Dr Karagiannis gave mice with cancerous tumors a load of Chemotherapy drugs and instead of curing them, it moved the cancerous cells to vital organs and killed them. Well, we can at least tell that very little has been done about this scientific discovery as posting this news 8 years later, people still seem to be in shock. So I wanted to shock some more (obviously, I am bit like that). “ A Little Bit of Poison Can Make You Better”. They hold out a vial and proclaim that in the vial is a chemical substance that is knowingly toxic. But we are going to give you just a little bit of it so that (Insert a completely made-up story) it therefore doesn’t do you harm, but indeed makes you better.” – Jamie Andrews – GOOD ONE FROM JAMIE. ALSO SEE SAYER JI’S ARTICLE ON WEDNESDAY OF THIS WEEK AS WELL!!!

Trump’s EPA chief clears the air on chemtrails and geoengineering, in the interest of ‘total transparency’ – “After an exhaustive investigation published on EPA websites, Director Lee Zeldin says Americans now know everything he knows about those mysterious ‘streaks in the sky’, which apparently isn’t much!” – Leo Hohmann

I HAVE BEEN WRONG AND AMERICA IS DEAD. (FULL-BREAKDOWN). (VIDEO) – “This isn’t collapse. This is transformation into something unfreaking recognizable. And I’m going to do a full breakdown this whole thing uh right now. So Lions, the USA is dead. Yes. And what remains is a corpse animated by surveillance, force, and fear. This is not freedom. Weaponized food, weaponized speech. Okay, free speech. We’re going to talk about that. Weaponized medicine, weaponized currency, weaponized law, pretty obvious as to what’s going on here with current events here, obviously. And weaponized poverty.” – Gregory Mannarino  – GREG ON THE “BIG PICTURE”. STARTING THE FIRST OF AUGUST, GREG’S VIDEO WILL MOVE FROM YOU TUBE TO HIS WEBSITE. UNFORTUNATELY I WON’T BE ABLE TO LINK HIS VIDEOS AFTER THAT AS YOU HAVE TO BE A PAID MEMBER TO VIEW. TOO BAD!!!!!

Why Is Every Natural Disaster Being Politicized? – “Accompanying the modern doctrines of climate change is the underlying belief that there is a state solution to this supposed problem. Furthermore, every major weather event—from the flooding in Western North Carolina and East Tennessee last year to the deadly flooding on the Guadalupe River in Texas—is claimed to be the result of climate change, so those who might question this narrative are deemed responsible for it happening.” – William L. Anderson

The Food Is Poison, – “The Lobbyists Know It. Our food is trash, and our health care system is designed to keep it that way. I’ve seen firsthand how broken it is. You try to eat healthy here, and half the grocery store is lined with products that barely qualify as food—chemical concoctions designed in labs with turkey basters and labcoats. Then, when your body starts to break down (shocking!), you’re sent to the pharmacy, where your options are “maximum strength” or “ultra maximum strength” versions of pills that no longer work because the good ingredients were pulled years ago to prevent people from getting high or healthy—whichever came first. Meanwhile, companies are still allowed to pump our food full of artificial sweeteners, inflammatory seed oils, and preservatives so potent they could probably steralize and tranquilize a small horse. And that’s just the stuff they list on the label.” – Quoth the Raven

How data misleads – “Lies, damned lies, and statistics. I don’t fault people for misunderstanding data, but I do fault them for closing their minds to contradictory information. Data and information is contextual and easy to misunderstand, depending on its presentation.” – Sarah Connor

Moderna’s Spikevax has been “Approved” by the FDA – “Our government is insane.” – James Roguski

Measles Cases In US Climb To Highest Number In 33 Years: CDC – “In the United States, so far in 2025, 1,288 cases have been recorded as of July 8, the CDC said in an update on Wednesday. That’s the highest number in one year since 1992, when 2,126 cases were logged.” – Tyler Durden  – SO OBVIOUSLY NOTHING NEW IF IT WAS HIGHER IN 1992. 1200 CASES IN A POPULATION OF OVER 350 MILLION. DO THE MATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flux Rules – “No one in America — not even the most deranged, spike-faced, pink-haired transtifas — believes the latest Epstein story as played out by Mr. Trump and AG Bondi in this week’s cabinet parlay: nuthin to see, just a bunch of pointless child porn, fuggeddabowdit. . . But stay! Much is moving, flowing unseen. The world is yugely in flux, large events in human affairs are in motion, many things are breaking, rotating, dissolving and re-forming, while others wind into giant hairballs. . One thing about Epstein is likely certain: it was an intel operation. And one thing is probable: it was a joint operation between the CIA, Israel’s Mossad, and the UK’s MI6. The object: to get as many political poohbahs on-the-hook for disgraceful behavior of the lowest kind and blackmail-able. Under the thumb. Theories and suppositions abound. Forget about Bondi’s gaffe. She is just following orders, as are Messrs. Patel and Bongino, standing down, good soldiers, and only on the Epstein business. You can’t even rule out the possibility that Jeffrey Epstein is not dead. Was it suicide? Or an escape? Shall we say, a rendition to parts unknown? I would not assert that, just proffer it as a possibility, since the events of that night in the Manhattan federal lockup were so astoundingly sketchy..” – James Howard Kunstler

The Epstein List is Dead- Long Live the Epstein List – “MAGA on life support. The events of the past few days should have convinced any remaining doubters; our government is insufferably, indubitably corrupt.At any rate, these are real monsters, with less principles than mob bosses. FBI director Kash Patel had vowed to release everything related to Jeffrey Epstein. He also promised to revamp the FBI, and move it away from Washington, calling it a part of the Deep State. Instead, he’s building a new shiny headquarters in D.C. Welcome to the Deep State, Kash.” – Donald Jeffries

‘Hand To God, I Know The Names’: Alan Dershowitz Says He Knows Who’s On The Epstein List – Tyler Durden – I’M SURE HE KNOWS ALL ABOUT THE LIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Solid Proof of How Badly the DoJ, Kash Patel and Dan Bongino Insulted either Your Intelligence or Just their Own. – “Their own video proves their incredible ineptitude.” – David Haggith

Just Like Reagan, Trump Will Grant Amnesty to Millions of Illegal Immigrants – “This is great news for satirists” – Ohio Barbarian  – THE WAY TRUMP FLIP-FLOPS, HE VERY WELL COULD DO THIS. GOOD SATIRE FROM THE BARBARIAN!!!

Sweden Cracks Down on OnlyFans – Will U.S. Follow Suit? – “The X-rated social media platform OnlyFans is experiencing real growth, with revenue, content, and user numbers all on the rise. The site’s over 4 million “creators” sell content – including images, videos, and personalized chats – to more than 300 million subscribers, or “fans.” It’s primarily a sex site, and claims that the platform isn’t powered by porn are usually accompanied by winks and nods to the contrary. As of July 1, Swedes could face up to a year in prison for paying someone for personalized online sexual services, including sexting and video content. The new law also criminalizes promoting or profiting from others who perform sex acts for payment on demand, forcing OnlyFans to pull out of Sweden.” – Addison Graham

Brennan, MSNBC Can’t Stop Lying About Trump and Russia – “Last evening, former CIA director John Brennan made his first public comments since news broke that the FBI under Kash Patel has opened a criminal investigation into his conduct in the Trump-Russia investigation. He was interviewed on MSNBC, where he is a paid contributor. The one piece of salient information host and former Bush administration spokesperson Nicolle Wallace didn’t leave out is that Brennan is a “Senior national security and intelligence analyst right here at MSNBC.” This was after Wallace interviewed former Hillary Clinton lawyer Marc Elias, who in 2016 was the point man responsible for hiring the “research” firm Fusion-GPS, which in turn hired former British spy Christopher Steele to compile reports on Donald Trump. What did Elias have to say about investigations into Brennan and Comey? “Like honestly, I’m just imploring the media, do NOT report” the news of the investigations. Priceless:” – Matt Taibbi

“There is no America, there is no democracy” – “Thoughts on Gaza and the Profitability of Genocide” – Bill Astore

Imperial Hypocrisy About “Terrorism” Hits Its Most Absurd Point Yet – ““Terrorist” just means “anyone who inconveniences the empire in any way.” It really is that simple.” – Caitlin Johnstone

Queen Ursula survives — barely – “European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has survived a motion of no confidence in the European Parliament. Yet given the gravity of the accusations in the Pfizer scandal, business as usual is no longer an option. Von der Leyen is increasingly becoming a liability for Brussels. The Brussels quake never came. On Thursday, von der Leyen narrowly escaped political embarrassment.The rejection of the motion should not be mistaken for a show of confidence in von der Leyen’s leadership. It merely showed that the dominant factions in Parliament managed, for now, to close ranks and fend off the rising opposition from conservative and nationalist parties across Europe. ” – Thomas Kolbe

Western European leaders dragging continent toward war with Russia – Lavrov – “Politicians in the EU and UK have “forgotten” the lessons of history, Russia’s top diplomat stressed” -RT

Comedy-Turned-Farce: Trump Pledges a Whole Ten Missiles to Ukraine – Simplicius

It’s A Smart Move For Russia To Strike Ukrainian Draft Centers – “This could raise the chances for a breakthrough somewhere along the front, help to decisively shift domestic public opinion against the conflict, and thus make it easier for “deep state” forces to conspire against Zelensky.” – Andrew Korybko

 

 

 

ECONOMIC NEWS

Initial Claims Drop Fourth Week but Continued Claims Highest Since Late 2021 – Mish

Silver is leading the way. – “For the first time in recent trading sessions, overnight demand from Asia drove gold and silver higher this morning. It should be a wake-up call for western bullion markets. Gold was almost unchanged over the week, but silver gained in subdued post-July 4 holiday trade. This morning in Europe, gold was $3335, down $2 on balance from last Friday’s close. Silver at a new high for the year at $37.45 was up 70 cents on the same timescale.” · Alasdair Macleod

Fed Governor Waller Defends $6.7 Trillion Balance Sheet – “The composition of those assets should worry every Fed official. Roughly $2.3 trillion sits in long-dated agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS), creating a maturity mismatch as the Fed now pays more on overnight reserves than it earns on those fixed-rate bonds—an equation that has already produced net operating losses.” – Peter Schiff

The Myth of Fed Independence – “the problem is we don’t actually have an independent Fed. In the Fed’s 112 years average rates under Republican presidents are much higher than Democrats — 4.9% vs 3.8%. FDR got sweetheart 1.5% rates. Reagan got 10.2%. So all-you-can-eat for Democrat Presidents, 4 years of Nurse Ratchet for Republicans. The only time the Fed breaks character is when it’s time to bail out Wall Street. So 2008, 2001, or 1987.” – Peter St Onge

Did TACO Trades Just Get Burrito’d? – “Trump just dropped a bomb in stating he plans to impose rates of 15% or 20% on most trading partners, not 10%. He also dropped a 35% tariff on non-USMCA compliant goods from Canada starting 1 August with any counter tariff rate stacked on top: no transshipped goods from Canada will be allowed. A similar Trump letter could go out to the EU today: will it say 10%, 15%, 20%, or 35%, and will everyone continue to buy EUR on the back of it “because markets”? Perhaps: but, what a croque, monsieur or madame. There’s no ham in that toasted sandwich if you open it up and look.” – Rabobank

The Genius Act and Stablecoins: How They Work, and Implications for U.S. Treasuries – Sasha Latypova

One More Wafer Thin Mint? – “Private Market business is bloated with expensive debt that many can’t afford, so naturally Private Credit’s solution is to add more. Private credit can very well be a good thing by providing liquidity to underbanked businesses. But with its rapid growth, has PC become just another way to feed Wall Street’s Private Market deal beast and overload the economy with debt?” – Eric Salzman

 

 

 

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

How To Save Water During The Summer Months And Still Keep Your Garden Watered – Bob Rodgers

Why Do You Always Forget To Harvest This? – “You can spend months planting, watering, and weeding…But if you harvest wrong, even just once, all that effort can go straight to the compost pile. Truth is, most gardeners lose up to 30% of their harvest just because they don’t know when to pick… how to pick… or what to do with the food once it’s in their hands. Total garden harvesting fixes that.” – Steve Nubie

What? Minimalism Is a Prep??? – “Preppers often think that more is more. Two is one, one is none. Preparedness can often seem like the collection of stuff that you might need in a SHTF scenario, so on first glance, it appears to be in conflict with any kind of minimalist lifestyle. However, in this article, I am going to look beyond the surface and show how my minimalist philosophy does, in fact, allow me to be more prepared than the average person.” – Rowan O’Malley

Traveling in Austere Situations – Part 2 – “CAMPING IN FAIR WEATHER AND CAMPING IN FOUL WEATHER” – Dr. Rick  – THE FIRST PART WAS LINKED YESTERDAY!!!

Why an EMP Attack Is Actually Worse Than You Think – “An electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack is one of the threats that many preppers and survivalists set as the primary focus of their preparedness strategy. One of the reasons for this is that when you are prepared for a sustained grid-down environment, you are ready for most other probable disasters as well. The problem is that many preppers do not fully understand how bad a large-scale EMP attack could be.” – Michael Major

 

VERSE FOR THE DAY

THE BIG PICTURE

Reading between the headlines: A candid conversation with James Perloff (VIDEO) – “From the rapid shifts in tensions between Iran and Israel to questions about the potential for domestic unrest, we take a calm but critical look at the patterns that drive political and media responses in moments like this. We also revisit the much-discussed Deagel population forecast — not as a prediction, but as a lens for understanding how narratives, policy, and technology intersect. Could a chilling but coordinated plan be unfolding behind the scenes? The question is worth positing not because we enjoy wearing tinfoil, but in the context of how quickly the domestic and international situations appear to be in flux bordering on chaos.” – Collapse Life

Trump US CDC nominee backs vaccines as life-saving – “Monarez sees no link between autism and vaccines Monarez would prioritize vaccine availability, modernize outbreak detection. “I have no a priori prejudices against mRNA platform or any other approach that is being taken to develop vaccines,” she said, adding that the Food and Drug Administration has approved mRNA vaccines as safe.” – Ahmed Aboulenein – MORE MAHAHAHA. AND YOU THOUGHT BOBBY WOULD BE LOOKING OUT FOR YOU. WITH THIS NOMINEE AND WITH MALONE ON BOARD, WILL WE HAVE MORE mRNA JABS!!!!

False flags are occurring almost daily now – “The name “false flag” comes from the days when naughty captains of sailing ships used to put up a flag suggesting that they belonged to an opposing navy. Pirates used to favour the same trick. Down would come the Jolly Roger. And up would go the Spanish or British flag. History is full of false flag operations.” – Dr. Vernon Coleman

The recycling scam laid bare in California’s leftist heartland – “Our South Carolina neighborhood has green cans for garbage and blue cans for recycling. All our neighbors dutifully separate their garbage. We don’t, and we don’t for a very specific reason. What I discovered a couple of years ago is that, while different trucks drive around collecting blue and green cans on garbage day, at the end of the shift, the trucks dump all the garbage into the same landfill. It’s a scam that, according to my local representative, makes people feel good about themselves.” – Andrea Widburg

Eco-Hypocrites Take Hundreds Of Private Jets To Bezos Wedding – “Super Emitters converge for a party, then they’ll lecture you about driving to work” – Steve Watson

 

 

NEWS 

A Dog and Pony Show for Your Viewing Pleasure – “Trump’s not getting his intelligence from Tulsi, so where’s he getting it? And, in the midst of this Israeli/Iran/US dog and pony show, what motivations are lurking in Trump? A dog and pony show is flashy displays, using superficial content rather than substance, with an intention to impress and persuade an audience. Trump’s attack on Iranian nuclear sites was a dog and pony show, at the same time, replete with war crimes. Whereas Tulsi Gabbard gets her intelligence from facts on the ground, Trump’s intelligence comes from FOX News/Mossad/Palantir (a mix of AI and the film, Minority Report, plot predicting future-crime, assessing trends/predictions/telephone call patterns). This is where intelligence is headed, a mix of video games and AI, already being used in the mass slaughter of GAZA, and assassinations throughout the region.” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

Decaffeinated Uranium – “It was the perfect war for this strange, new world. Done, dusted and filed away in just twelve days. Heroes and villains and speeches. Incompetence at high-noon followed by promises of nuclear holocausts at five minutes before midnight. Yawn. I’ve caught myself doing that a lot lately. Increasingly, I’m finding it difficult to get worked up into a fuming mess by prospects of the world meeting an untimely end. Reality as we know it is ending, that is all. My own non-scientific analysis believes Iran still only possesses very decaffeinated uranium. War-mongers disagree and believe the Iranians are/were merely hours away from putting the finishing touches to an impressive looking stainless steel espresso machine. Well, until fourteen big, beautiful bombs from the United States obliterated the craftmanship. Or maybe they didn’t. Or maybe they half did.” – Gerry O’Neill

From bunker bombs to Nobel dreams: Trump’s war for peace – “Choosing a military solution over a negotiated one in dealing with Iran is is a throwback to US unilateralism and regime change policies” – Kanwal Sibal

Israel-Iran: The Denouement – “Many new facts are coming to the surface in the denouement phase of the Iran-Israeli conflict. One has to do with the damage that Israel actually incurred, which caused it to so swiftly seek an out from the slugfest: It further admits Israel’s largest oil refinery in Haifa was ‘badly damaged’, and that the brief war against Iran cost far more than both conflicts against Hamas and Hezbollah from October 2023 onward—which is shocking when you think about it. In short, Iran did massively more damage than we were led to believe. In fact, some reports now indicate up to four of the Iranian generals claimed as ‘killed’ have resurfaced unharmed, though—besides Ismail Qaani—as of this writing it remains unverified: The hits on Iran’s nuclear sites are likewise fraught with questionable details.” – Simplicius

MAJOR victory for Trump in the US Supreme Court – “SCOTUS has ruled that federal district judges can’t make decisions that affect the whole country. Doesn’t matter what of kind of case it is, or who the plaintiffs are. The decisions of these federal district judges only affect the plaintiffs in a case. The ruling isn’t universal. It doesn’t apply to the whole country—as has been the case in many of these judges’ decisions which have blocked Trump’s Executive Orders. No more. That’s gone.” – Jon Rappoport

SCOTUS ends Nationwide Injunctions? – “Not so fast.. In other words, we aren’t seeing the end of nationwide injunctions just yet. Just a certain type of nationwide injunction.” – Techno Fog

Trump Ends Trade Talks with Canada ‘Effective Immediately’ – Trent Walker

Washington Post journalist charged with possession of child pornography – Jillian Smith

#FAKE TRADE DEAL. U.S. INFLATION WORSE THAN “EXPECTED.” CONSUMER CON-JOB. (VIDEO) – Gregory Mannarino

Trump’s Win Streak Snaps – “PCE Inflation Report Shows Prices Rose In May” – Peter Nayland Kust

That Drop in Consumer Income in May Was a False Recession Alarm – “Wages & salaries rose at a solid pace, but Social Security payments returned to trend after a spike in April due to policy changes.” – Wolf Richter

The Powell Fed is Going to Trigger Another Crisis – “Fed Chair Jerome Powell has no idea what he’s doing. I’m not saying this for dramatic effect. Powell’s ignorance of basic macroeconomics was on stark display in his testimony before Congress earlier this week. However, for all his concerns about inflation, the Fed Chair has just revealed he doesn’t even know the breakdown of the official inflation data. And no, I’m not exaggerating here.” – Graham Summers, MBA

How the Fed Made Housing Unaffordable – “Because President Trump has crushed inflation, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell needs to lower interest rates today, and if not Chairman Powell needs to resign, immediately. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac can help so many more Americans if Chair Powell will just do his job and lower rates. With these comments, Pulte is demonstrating that he, like his boss Donald Trump, subscribes to the standard Yellen-Bernanke inflationist model of monetary policy: the job of the central bank is to forever force down interest rates, churn out more easy money, and devalue the currency. Pulte claims publicly that this somehow makes homes more affordable. As we’ll see below, though, the Fed’s easy-money policy of recent decades has not made home more affordable. Rather, Fed policy has helped to relentless increase home prices through the Fed’s asset purchases, interest rate policy, and monetary inflation.” – Ryan McMaken

The Senate Bill Is Now Fiscally Worse than the House, Deficits Increase – “Compromise increased the deficit. And Republicans back a new hospital fund. Look out!” – Mish

THE BIG PICTURE

The “AI Revolution” May Take an Unexpected Turn into the “AI Coup” – “It would be, well, interesting, if the “AI revolution” in which the slaves make the masters rich beyond their wildest dreams unexpectedly transmogrifies into an “AI coup” that deposes the masters.” – Charles Hugh Smith

Twin Babies Die a Week After Receiving 3 Vaccines, Police Interrogate Parents – “On May 1, Dallas and Tyson, fraternal 18-month-old twins, were found dead by their mother after receiving the Hepatitis A, flu and DTaP vaccines on April 23. The mother told the pediatrician that the family of the twins’ father had a history of allergic reactions to the flu vaccine, but the pediatrician said it would be OK to give the shot to the babies anyway.” – Suzanne Burdick, Ph.D. – SO THE POLICE THINK THE PARENTS DID IT, SERIOUSLY. WE’LL SEE HOW THIS ONE PLAYS OUT!!!

The Invisible Leash – “How Tech Giants are Perfecting The Hidden Architecture of Subjugation. OpenAI’s $6.5 billion acquisition of Jony Ive’s io Products isn’t just the largest deal in the company’s history—it’s the ritual completion of what I warned about in Node Without Consent. Ive, the legendary designer behind the iPhone, iPad, and Apple’s most iconic products, is now building something far more insidious.” -Joshua Stylman

It’s Almost Summer… Let the Heatwave Hysteria Begin. – “Why your city is hotter, climate models are wrong, and the IPCC doesn’t care.” – Dr. Matthew Wielicki

GAO Backs ‘Universal Vaccine’ Built From Multiple Virus Fragments Fused Into One—Influenza Takes Center Stage Again – “New report confirms U.S. plan to create a synthetic “universal vaccine” using molecular chimeras—engineered mashups of viral pieces—with influenza at the core.’ – Jon Fleetwood

Chamath Palihapitiya Unveils Plans For AI Data Center Near Bill Gates’ Arizona Smart City – Tyler Durden

NEWS

U.S. Genocidal Madness Has Never Ended! – “Those of us who write about the heinous Israeli genocidal slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza, although we are most often met with blind indifference by the bulk of society, continue to expose this evil in the midst of this torturous death of innocents. The inability to convince the ruled masses that they should stand up and stop this unholy carnage, by continually reporting the atrocities being perpetrated, tends to leave the messengers helpless. But in reality, genocidal madness and mass murder have been a part of this country called the ‘united’ states, since the very beginning. ” – Gary D. Barnett

It Appears That 2025’s “Summer Of Chaos” Is Off To An Early Start – Michael Snyder

What Should A U.S. President Do–And Be? – “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Presidents” – Bill Astore

JB Pritzker is acting presidential — too bad his state is in such shambles – “JB Pritzker made headlines when he called for “mass protests” against the Trump administration. There’s no question, the second-term governor of Illinois is positioning himself for a presidential run, as he crisscrosses the country lauding his time serving the citizens of the Prairie State. But what he’s not telling the crowd about Illinois is precisely what Americans need to know most. A federal government run like the state of Illinois would do little to quell their fears. Today, Illinois has more than $200 billion in unfunded pension liabilities, with the state’s government pension systems hovering around 50% funded. It’s bad news for pensioners, who live with the uncertainty of not knowing if a retirement check from the state could bounce. It’s perhaps even worse news for Illinois taxpayers, who are on the hook for such enormous liabilities. Already, Illinoisans are taxed to the hilt. WalletHub recently named Illinois the state with the single highest state and local tax bill in the nation. The median Illinois household pays $13,099 each year to a complicated web of government entities. I personally pay taxes to 17 different levels of government, That’s in addition to sales taxes, gas taxes, grocery taxes and other nickel-and-dime taxes I pay.” – Diana Sroka Rickert

The CIA Is Still Giving Logistics In Kyiv…at Weapons Depot – “WHY is President Trump calling out Putin on international news? WHY is he criticizing Putin while continuing to bomb Yemen? What just shifted? Was it all a distraction? In collusion with Germany, UK, and France, the US has suddenly lifted the restriction of Zelenskky employing long range weapons inside Russia. Russia has been bombarded with Ukraine drones hitting civilian locations. Ukraine has now become the largest manufacturer of military drones. Those weapon depots inside Ukraine were the target of the last strikes from Russian into Kyiv. And Trump is either a double agent, or very ill-informed internally.” – Helena Glass

Medvedev Issues Map Showing Putin’s ‘Buffer Zone’ Could Swallow Most Of Ukraine – Tyler Durden

Trump’s Latest Angry Post About Putin Is His Most Significant One Yet – “Trump is either being maliciously misinformed about the conflict from his trusted advisors (not counting Witkoff of course) or that he’s manipulatively creating the pretext for US escalation. Trump’s latest angry post about Putin revealed a lot about how he perceives the Ukrainian Conflict. According to Trump, “[Putin] has gone absolutely CRAZY! What’s really happening is that Russia ramped up its bombing campaign against Ukraine in response to Ukraine ramping up its drone one first, during which time Putin’s helicopter was almost downed after it was caught in a drone swarm while he was visiting Kursk last week.” – Andrew Korybko

Kremlin reacts to West lifting limits on long-range weapons for Ukraine – “The decision runs counter to Moscow’s efforts to find a peaceful settlement with Kiev, spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said” – RT

THE DEEPER DIVE: Big Beautiful BULL! – “Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” couldn’t be more hideous, irresponsible and full of BULLoney. Even Trump boasts that his “Big Beautiful Bill” surpasses the scale of anything in history.

Is France The Next Economic Crisis? – “Low Inflation Is Flirting With Deflation. “Japanification” Next? The latest inflation figures from France are surprising—and not necessarily in a good way.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Et tu, Costco? – “Buy now, pay later, with 36% interest. With its family-friendly bulk packages, high-quality Kirkland store brand, and, more recently, competitively priced gold and silver bars, Costco has always taken care of its customers. So its introduction of yet another way to accumulate ruinous debt feels like a betrayal: Let’s get this straight: Costco’s buy now, pay later plan charges up to 36% interest for up to 36 months. So it’s not credit card adjacent; it’s actually much worse than a typical high-tech-loan-shark credit card. ” – John Rubino

When Things Go to Heck, Have a Hand Truck – “Many years ago, I had the opportunity to use a hand truck that belonged to my building when I moved out. I noticed how much it helped to have it around. I could pile boxes on it and easily manoeuvre them around, even up the moving truck ramp. I noted these features, filing them away for future reference. Fast forward a decade, and I’m living my dream out on a small homestead. One of the first things I bought when I moved onto my land was a hand truck.” – Rowan O’Malley

4 Seed Viability Tests to Make Sure All Your Seeds Germinate – Bethany Hayes

Do Seeds Really Expire? – “Print Friendly, PDF & Email We’ve all heard the news stories about seeds found in ancient tombs that germinated when planted; yet the seeds you buy are marked with expiration dates or with use by seasons. What is the truth about seed viability and how long do seeds keep? Here is what we know.” – Olivia Brooks

Better Than Bugging Out – “When disaster strikes, the first instinct for many is to run — grab your bug-out bag, hit the road, and disappear into the woods. But what if leaving and bugging out is actually the worst move you could make? The truth is, bugging out should be your last resort, not your first response.” – Fergus Mason

VERSES FOR THE DAY

Jeremiah 2:21-22  Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?  For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord God.

THE BIG PICTURE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ECONOMIC NEWS 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

VERSE FOR THE DAY

Nahum 1:11   There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the LORD, a wicked counsellor.

IMAGE FOR THE DAY

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

God bless America

THE BIG PICTURE

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

Big Pharma’s Secret Roots: Cannabis, Cow Ovaries & Papaya – The Shocking 1899 Merck Manual How a $1 medical guide from 1899 reveals Big Pharma’s forgotten herbal past.” – Sayer Ji

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

FDA Invites Public Comments from All Americans Regarding COVID-19 Jab: How to Comment and What to Write – “Comments must be submitted before Wednesday at noon ET to be given directly to the committee.” – Jon Fleetwood

Parliamentarians requesting to review [COVID-19 “vaccine”] contracts were denied access – “Signed Oaths to Conceal COVID Info That Could ‘Embarrass’ Trudeau Government” – Jessica Rose

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

The cocaine train, or: how I learned the world is run by coke heads – “At a time when the stakes could not be higher, is it possible we’re just one snort away from Armageddon?” – Collapse Life

Cocaine & Drug Addiction Among World Leaders – “An avalanche of cocaine is fuelling the alpha personality disorder among world leaders. ” – 009

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

Hidden Signs Your Neighbor is a … – “Being prepared means not only having a stockpile of essentials but also being aware of the potential threats around you and your family. This includes your neighbors. Some people might see your preparedness as an opportunity for themselves, or worse, turn you into the authorities or gossip about your preps causing more risks for you when a SHTF scenario comes. Let’s look at some subtle signs that your neighbor might turn into a problem when things get tough.” – Ask a Prepper

How Ambidexterity Can Boost Your Survival Skills – “There are two issues to consider here, strength and dexterity.

THE BIG PICTURE

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

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

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

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

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

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

Meebbeeeeejabs? – “”Cancer is largely a disease of old age.” Wrote Bhattacharya in 2008. Of course, if you start injecting gene editing *technology* that might just change!” – Sage Hana

The Hidden Secrets of Natural Milk – “Unpacking what’s inside real milk and the incredible health benefits it provides” – A Midwestern Doctor

NEWS

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

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

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

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

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

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

As we commemorate VE and Victory Day, it’s time to tether the dogs of war – “Feeding the Ukrainian dogs of war will only prolong the needless suffering for the poor innocent people caught in the crossfire.” – Ian Proud

The AfD’s Views On Nationality Actually Aren’t Extremist At All – “The AfD believes that ethnic Germans have a special connection to their country due to their shared culture and experiences, which non-ethnic German citizens lack, especially those from civilizationally dissimilar societies across the Global South who only recently arrived there. These views actually aren’t extremist at all since they’ve been shared by the vast majority of humanity throughout history in their own contexts.” – Andrew Korybko

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

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

Who Killed the Rockers and the Comedians? – “Cultural banality in America 2.0” – Donald Jeffries

Commies gonna commie – “Commies have got to spy on capitalists because communists can’t create, only steal. And while China might produce low-cost stuff and have something resembling private ownership to some degree, at heart, they’re still commies and they’re still eager to steal stuff from the West. Which Stanford has been reminded of.” – Tom Knighton

The U.S.-Ukraine minerals deal is much more favorable to the U.S. than to Ukraine – Eric Zuesse

But even with a college degree, almost a third are living paycheck to paycheck. Of course, that’s partly because they’re carrying student loans for a degree that now costs more than $300,000.

This means you need a survival garden that either doesn’t look like a garden or is completely hidden from sight.” – Alan Urban

THE BIG PICTURE

Trump bans federal funding for ‘dangerous’ gain-of-function research – “Trump has ‘long theorized’ COVID-19 originated from lab leak at Wuhan Institute of Virology” – Brooke Singman  – ALL FOR SHOW. WHERE WAS HE AT HIS FIRST TERM ON ALL OF THIS “BS” WHEN HE DID WARP SPEED AND FAUCI WAS IN CHARGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gov’t Can Now Engineer Pathogens to Be More Deadly, Resurrect Extinct Viruses in Secret Without Any Oversight or Independent Review: OSTP Waiver – “Trump’s new executive order does not outright ban gain-of-function or suspend the OSTP waiver clause, as his admin ramps up bird flu pandemic efforts.” – Jon Fleetwood

NIH Infectious Disease Researcher Calls for End of Dangerous Virus Studies- “I admired Fauci in his earlier career because I thought he was a strong leader with a vision for global research. But I can’t say that anymore.” – The DisInformation Chronicle (Today’s guest essay is by a infectious disease researcher at the National institutes of Health who wishes to remain anonymous to guard against retribution.)

Florida Health Department Claims Pfizer COVID Shot Killed “Over 470,000 Americans” but They’re Still Available to Inject into Children Throughout Florida – “I have read most of the study, and the study itself does NOT claim that “470,000 Americans” have been killed by the shots. For one thing, the study only looked at data in Florida. They seem to be taking the number of “all-cause mortality” numbers following Pfizer’s COVID shot and then comparing it to the same parameters following the Moderna COVID shots. They then extrapolate that data and multiply it times 50 assuming that the numbers are similar in all states. It is still an alarming study, but the one question that nobody seems to be asking after the publication of this preprint study is, Now What? Shouldn’t there be an immediate BAN on all COVID shots, especially the Pfizer ones,” – Brian Shilhavy

Us Has Built $21 Trillion Underground City for Only Wealthy to Hide out In ‘Near-Extinction Event’: Official – Trent Walker  – HAVE LINKED ABOUT DUMBs (DEEP UNDERGROUND MILITARY BASES) BEFORE IN THE PAST AND MANY HAVE THOUGHT THAT THEY WERE JUST ANOTHER CONSPIRACY THEORY. KATHERINE BASICALLY CONFIRMS THEM IN HER INTERVIEW WITH TUCKER. AS I HAVE SAID THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST INTERVIEW TUCKER HAS DONE TO DATE. LINKED IT AS WELL ABOUT A WEEK AGO!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Extinction Event & Underground Cities – “It is becoming more apparent that things are amiss in the White House. Trump is suddenly onboard with Ukraine funding and military weapons. Kash Patel has had his hands cuffed and is reportedly spending more time at bars than at the FBI office. Pam Bondi has made zero arrests and stopped talking altogether. Waltz got moved because he was acting on behalf of Netanyahu behind Trump’s back. Trump just added more sanctions to ally Putin. And America has dropped over 1,000 bombs on Yemen. Catherine Fitts claims that she and another close confidante, economist Mark Skidmore, have spent the last 2 years tracking the LOST $21 Trillion in government spending. She claims the money was used to create an alternate US – underground. ” – Helena Glass

Covid ‘Vaccines’ Killed More People Than WW1, WW2, Vietnam War Combined – “The explosive warning was issued by McCullough Foundation epidemiologist Nicolas Hulscher, MPH. According to Hulcher, the number of Americans killed by Covid injections is now over 600,000.” – Frank Bergman

Is Humanity On A Self Terminating Path? – Joe Martino

The polio vaccine deception: How a tainted medical experiment unleashed cancer, autoimmune disease, and the very epidemic it claimed to stop – Lance D Johnson

NEWS

Understanding The Blob – “What you see in this one example is how the managerial state operates like a community that rules over the country. It is why voting does not matter, as the people running the thousands of entities that make up the system are always going to be people who have as their top priority the preservation of their class. It is not a deep state so much as a broad state that overlays everything. Every silo of power is controlled by people who believe the same things” – The Z Man

Right on target – “Llife in the second world Supermax – El Gato Malo  – GOOD ONE FROM EL GATO!!!!

Pope Trump – “How far will his ego go and where will it take all the rest of us? While it is easy to write his post off as an attempt at humor, I see a man of cavernous ambition longing to try the papal cloth on for size and see how it fits—not that he believes he can become the actual pope, but I think he envies the global adoration, for the pope’s billion adoring fans certainly exceed his own fan share, and Trump is a man who seems to need endless amounts of adoration and needs to be Number One,” – David Haggith

Why doesn’t the ‘Deal-Maker’ close the deal? – “The story, both on Ukraine and Iran, is that President Trump wants a ‘deal’ – and both deals are available – yet he seems nonetheless to have boxed himself in. Trump presents his Administration as being something rougher, meaner, and far less sentimental. It aspires to emerge, apparently, as also something more centralized, coercive, and radical. In domestic policy, there may be some truth to this categorisation of the Trumpian ethos. In foreign policy, however, Trump tergiversates. The reason is not clear, but the fact of it clouds his prospects in the three areas vital to his ‘peace-maker’ aspiration – Ukraine, Iran and Gaza.” – Alastair Crooke

Gaza Will Be “Entirely Destroyed” Says Top Israeli Official – “Israel is no longer hiding the genocide as Trump stands by watching.” – Mish

The First Amendment is “Anti-Semitic” – “When the Left was in charge, any speech that disagreed with the narratives being pushed by the Left – for example, that “masks” served to “stop the spread” – was delegitimized as “misinformation.” Now that the Right is in charge, any criticism of the policies or actions of the government of the state of Israel is about to be criminalized.” – Eric Peters

Trump Is Destroying America, but He Is Making Israel Great – “What Trump is going to do is to make Israel great, not America. All over the Western world it is already the case in many countries, such as Great Britain and Germany that criticism of Israel or of Jews is a criminal offense, and it is becoming the same in every Western country, eventually even in Russia. In America the Trump regime is deporting students who protest Israel’s American-supported genocide of the Palestinians. Long ago Israeli propagandists convinced Americans that every Palestinian, even 3-year old children, was a terrorist who wore bomb vests in order to kill Israelis. All the while Israel killed Palestinians, 3-year olds included, by the bomb load. Even in the Red State of Texas, if you protest Israel’s genocide of Palestine, you are ineligible to have a state contract. America is totally owned by Israel. So is Trump. So how can America be “made great again”?” – Paul Craig Roberts – AS I HAVE SAID SINCE DAY ONE OF TRUMP’S PRESIDENCY IT’S MIGA NOT MAGA AND DR. ROBERTS IS BASICALLY CONFIRMING THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“We Don’t Need Anything They Have… Except Friendship” – Trump Trounces New Canadian PM Carney Ahead Of White House Visit -“We don’t need their Cars, we don’t need their Energy, we don’t need their Lumber, we don’t need ANYTHING they have, other than their friendship…” – Tyler Durden

Canadian province could hold secession referendum – premier – “Alberta’s Danielle Smith has said a vote on separation will be held next year if a petition gains enough support” -RT

Hold On Tight – The War In The Middle East Is Building Up To A Grand Crescendo – Michael Snyder

More “War” in Gaza – “It’s not an invasion, it’s a “forceful entry”” – Bill Astore

White House Says It Has “No Timeline” for Releasing Epstein Files (VIDEO) – Jim Hᴏft – JUST ANOTHER BROKEN PROMISE. KIND OF LIKE GETTING OUT OF UKRAINE ON DAY ONE!!!

This is why no one should take actors seriously on politics – “Take Sean Penn (please?) as an example. The actor has long voiced his opinions on politics and thinks he should be taken seriously on the issues, then he says crap like this…. Yes, Donald Trump is a literal supervillain who wants to destroy the world on his way out the door of life. Does this turdnugget even hear himself? Look, Trump is a lot of things, but there are absolutely no signs that he’s even remotely interested in destroying the world. What Penn is doing here is listening to the insane voices in his head that tell him that Donald Trump is exactly as bad as he’s always wanted to believe.” – Tom Knighton

Hyperbole, Lies, and Delusions – “Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s speech in New Hampshire last week was greeted by the media as yet another stirring call to arms for the rudderless Democratic Party. However, what Pritzker had to say in his speech before channeling Maxine Waters’ infamous call to harass Republicans should not be overlooked. It raises an important question: Is Pritzker delusional, a liar, or merely hyperbolic? There’s a worst-case scenario, however. What if the governor of Illinois, and apparent 2028 presidential candidate, is delusional and believes his falsehoods? He wouldn’t be alone – and that’s even more scary. In a world in which many progressives believe Luigi Mangione is a hero, Pritzker’s lies in the cause of his ambition to be the Democratic Party’s nominee for president are more outrageous – and more perilous – than Smollett’s lies to make himself a civil rights icon.” – Richard Porter

Consuming Protein Is Now Right Wing… – “And gendered…  If you consume protein, you’re now a right wing MAGA extremist bro, according to Vanity Fair.” – Steve Watson

Rape numbers soar in Spain to a record high, with data identifying ‘foreigners’ as the perpetrators – “Spain, though always a destination for migrants given its geographical location just north of Africa, maintains “one of the highest rates” of illegal migrants in the EU—but according to the government, the reported rise in rape is simply because more women are coming forward, and it has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the importation of hundreds of thousands of third world foreigners who are wholly accustomed to rape as a normal part of daily life. Who knew that the “no-no square dance” and the “only yes means yes” law didn’t really do much to force tribal rapists into Western assimilation?” – Olivia Murray

Putin & Xi Might Hash Out A Grand Deal That Would Enter Into Force If The Ukraine Talks Collapse – Andrew Korybko

NATO Struggles to Keep Up as Drone Warfare Gets Gamified – “And more on the development of new battlefield tactics.” – Simplicius

ECONOMIC NEWS

FEAR THE BONES! THE SYSTEM IS CANNIBALIZING ITSELF. (EXPECT MASSIVE BAILOUTS).(VIDEO) – Gregory Mannarino

Paying Your Groceries With Gold? Some States Seek to Shake Up Reliance on Dollar – “Allowing the use of precious metals in transactions will help tame inflation, restore the middle class, and protect the U.S. economy, supporters said. Multiple states are jumping on the bandwagon.” – Alex Newman

Populism And Crisis. The World Wobbles. – “Markets may become less frenetic now the initial Trump phase is over – but that doesn’t mean they get more stable. News flow and data will continue to show a world changing swiftly, where crisis stemming from US assets (watch Treasuries like a hawk), remains a high probability.” – Bill Blain

Jobs: Last Three Months Saw Downward Revisions of 57k on Average – “The jobs report was decent. It’s good to see the drop in Government employment. Unfortunately, there are still two very suspicious data points in the report: the birth/death assumptions and the massive revisions down over the last three months.” – Schiff Gold

Global Gold Bar and Coin Demand Rose in Q1 But Not in the U.S. – Mike Maharrey

Big Oil Isn’t Backing Down at $60 Oil – “Exxon, Chevron, Shell, and TotalEnergies are sticking to aggressive production growth plans—even as profits decline and oil prices soften. Much of the overproduction within OPEC is coming from Western-led projects in Kazakhstan, involving Exxon, Chevron, Shell, and TotalEnergies. Supermajors with deeper pockets and diversified portfolios are seizing the moment to gain market share in an oversupplied but still opportunity-rich market.” – Irina Slav

Beijing Stops Publishing “Hundreds Of Statistics” To Cover Up Economic Collapse – “not long ago, anyone could comb through a wide range of official data from China… then it started to disappear.” – Tyler Durden

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

The Good and The Bad About Using Urine as Garden Fertilizer – “Gardeners have different opinion when it comes to using urine in the garden as fertilizer. It is a great nutrient source for plants, but it also has some risks. Not to mention some people are grossed out by urine.” – Tasha Greer

DEALING WITH DEAD BODIES WHEN THE SHTF – “When a long-term SHTF situation happens, people will die. You need to prep for death – and bodies that come …” – Selco – UNFORTUNATELY A REALITY!!

How to Build a Gunshot Wound Kit – “In the midst of any societal collapse the rule of law is often replaced by the rule of the streets. In collapsing countries around the world, guns inevitably became the dominant enforcer and primary weapon accompanying looters, arsonists and general violence against a reeling population. Many people preparing for a possible collapse of society think ahead and stock both first aid equipment and take the time to learn about basic medical treatments. But how many of us have given any thought to the trauma of a gunshot wound and the proper ways to treat it, both in the short-term and the long-term?” – Heidi Hawthorn

10 Long-Lasting Foods You Can Make From Honey – Sunny M

Faraday Cage Mistakes – “Even military experts warn: 90% of DIY Faraday cages fail because of these common mistakes. When the power goes out — not just your lights, but everything, permanently — you’ll wish you had built a proper Faraday cage. And let me tell you, a lot of people are doing it wrong. Very wrong. There’s a lot of junk out there that doesn’t even apply to Faraday cages and electronics.” – Elizabeth Jones

VERSES FOR THE DAY

Acts 13:47-50     For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.  And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.  And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.  But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.

THE BIG PICTURE

Stripping the Word of its Power – “Ever since America’s unofficial second constitution of Civil Rights was set at odds with the one the Founders bequeathed to the nation, American whites have been on the defensive. In every single one of these cases – I should probably say ‘almost every’, to be careful, but I can’t actually think of an exception – when the full facts became available the black ‘victim’ is revealed to be significantly less sympathetic than the media initially pretended. George Floyd was a career criminal high on enough fentanyl to drop a rhinoceros, which is almost certainly why he died. Michael Brown was attacking the police officer that shot him. Trayvon Martin was attacking George Zimmerman. Rodney King was high on PCP and resisting arrest. Those facts never really mattered, because by the time they came out, the narrative had been set, the riots had happened, white people had been sufficiently cowed, and the news cycle had moved on.The Karmelo Anthony case is entirely distinct from this. Anthony is not sympathetic in the slightest. There is no question here of who is the victim, and who the criminal. ” – John Carter  – GOOD READ FROM JOHN!!!

High Class Thieves and Satanists: How Central Banks Stole the Last 30 years. – “Today the Fed is Gutting the Future of Gen-Z” – Elizabeth Nickson

The Big Shark: Climate Change Carney – “The question that nobody seems to be asking is why did one of the world’s most powerful bankers need to quit his job in the financial sector to become Prime Minister of Canada? The stakes in the game must be very high for the big players to send in a big shark like Mark Carney. How did Canada become such a priority?” – 009

Trump Proposes Largest Military Budget in History, Strikes Deal to Support Ukraine for Minerals, Pulls out of Peace Talks with Russia and Iran and Threatens Iran with War. – “It’s always all about the oil and now rare-earth minerals and grabbing land and spreading global control.” – David Haggith

Bird Flu Takes Central Role in Trump Admin’s New $500 Million ‘Next-Generation’ Pandemic Vaccine Project – “Gov’t has been funding gain-of-function on bird flu viruses, like it did to cause the COVID-19 pandemic—now it’s spending half a billion dollars on coming influenza pandemic “solution.”” – Jon Fleetwood

Here Is Trump: From the Mouth of Trump – “I almost hesitate to post this, not because it does not tell the tale of a maniacal narcissistic dictator, and perverted mind, but because it barely scratches the surface of the ego and absolute danger posed by such an evil character as Trump. What is happening here and now in this country is unprecedented in history. The globalization and technocratic buildup is tremendous, and moving at lightening speed toward horrendous times ahead. These are but a minute handful of quotes and statements by Trump, exposing extreme contradiction, lies, propaganda, hypocrisy, immorality, and outright madness of this man who was specifically selected to be in this position in order to accomplish the agendas of his controllers.” – Gary D. Barnett

A Bankruptcy of Credibility – “Was the United States a better nation in its 1st 175 years than now? It was. Most Americans were Christians, sitting through church sermons—not corporate perversion. Russia/China are misunderstood in the West. Putin lives for the benefit of his nation and its people. Russia is a democracy where one best not go against the interests of the nation. Don’t misunderstand me. Russia may be the most authoritarian democracy on the planet, but it’s by design—with ethical consideration. China is another nation of authoritarian rule, but with a caveat of caring for the welfare of its people. I’ll get to that, but 1st, consider conditions in the US.” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

Trumpland The corporate coup d’état and collapse of American democracy began long before Trump. – “He is simply snuffing out what remains.” – Chris Hedges

Nothing Really Happens in WWE Politics – “No statesmen in our woodpile. As I’ve mentioned before, I have no idea why I still pay the slightest attention to politics. I derive absolutely no enjoyment from it. Changes that are absolutely essential never come. The changes that do occur just make things worse. And we continue to be “represented” by carnival barkers and grifters with capped teeth. Behind these shameless frontmen/frontwomen/fronttheythems are an illusory group we still can’t really identify. Jews? Freemasons? The Vatican? I think it’s something like the Illuminati, but of course I have no real knowledge. I haven’t been invited to a single Bilderberg meeting, or all male funfest at Bohemian Grove. But as Truman’s Secretary of Defense James Forrestal told Joe McCarthy, before someone pushed him out of a window at Bethesda Naval Hospital, if there wasn’t a giant conspiracy, once in a while they’d make a mistake in our favor. The historical record shows that they have never made a mistake in our favor, except possibly the founding of the Republic, or the election of JFK” – Donald Jeffries

Trump posts apparent AI image of himself in papal attire – “US president’s post, shared by official White House account, comes after he joked about wanting to be the next Catholic pontiff following death of Pope Francis” – AFP  – “POPE ORANGEMANOUS”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

War in Washington – “The President values loyalty above all, and the war on leakers and whistleblowers is weapons hot, torpedo tubes flooded. The targets seem to be the “less loyal” among the current tribe of administration appointees and selected leftovers and hangers-on from the Biden regime. The shuffling of leaker-by accident NatSec Advisor Waltz over to the UN and the firing of his deputy Mr. Wong is what Trump voters wanted. Israel, maybe not so much. The state demands loyalty. The loyalty construct is modeled by both major parties, all the way down to local Republican and Democratic committees, who operate in generally polite Bolshevik-mode.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

JB Pritzker Goes Scorched Earth on His Own Party – “The Illinois governor is on a mission, blaming Dems and taking GOP names” – Corey Smith

We Don’t Need An Executive Order To Bar Illegals From Social Security – We Need A Government That Obeys The Law – “If it takes an executive order to enforce laws that already bar illegal immigrants from Social Security, the problem isn’t policy—it’s a government that’s given up on enforcement” – Maureen Steele

It’s Our Turn – “For the left, it’s all part of living, destroying, humiliating others, trashing neighborhoods, ripping up signs, vandalizing Teslas is all part of their civic duty, because there’s always someone on the right who puts their efforts into fixing things and cleaning up the mess. It wasn’t LGBTQ and trannies that went into North Carolina to help the devastated towns and neighborhoods, it was the hillbillies and Amish. The right is hard to motivate, because they don’t respond well to being ordered about and most of them feel uncomfortable ordering others about. Instructing is not the same as ordering one to commit acts of destruction.” – T.L. Davis

Some Justice for Ashli Babbitt–Finally I- “t appears the Trump Department of Justice has reached an agreement in the wrongful death lawsuit related to the killing of the unarmed Trump supporter on January 6, 2021.” – Julie Kelly

The Real Reason There Are So Many Homeless in California – “A Tale of Two States…” – Jim McCraigh

SITREP 5/2/25: Major Frontline Breakthrough Signals Start of Russian Spring Offensives – “There is a lot of news buzzing about today regarding the so-called ‘mineral deal’ and the tiresome retreads of US ‘pulling out of mediations’ in Ukraine. At this point, it’s safe to say most of this chaff is nothing but that—a red herring meant to propagate the image of US as ‘in charge’ and taking ‘initiative’ in leading the world. It’s nothing but smoke and mirrors and noise at this point, clatter meant to distract from mounting Russian military successes.” – Simplicius

Kursk liberated, the crimes of NATO-backed invasion, and echo of Nazi horrors – “When the Western powers take responsibility for the criminal aggression against Russia, only then will a viable peace be achieved.” – Strategic Culture Foundation

ECONOMIC NEWS

This Is The Biggest Economic Story Of 2025 So Far – Michael Snyder

Buffett’s $325 Billion Mistake – “Warren Buffett, the Oracle of Omaha, is facing a peculiar problem these days: he has too much cash. Berkshire Hathaway is sitting on an eye-watering $325 billion in dry powder, a record high. Historically, Buffett has always been eager to deploy capital when the odds are in his favor. But today, even he admits he’s struggling to find value in this overvalued market. Which leads to a fascinating question: could Buffett turn to silver, or even silver miners, as a way to put that cash to work?” – Sean Ring

Temu Ends China Shipments To US After Trump Closes “De Minimis” Loophole – “On Friday, Chinese e-commerce giant Temu halted U.S. deliveries after the Trump administration closed the “de minimis” loophole, which had previously allowed a flood of Chinese junk under $800 to enter tariff-free.” – Tyler Durden

How to Use Compost on the Homestead – “Compost is key to supercharging your garden soil, and whether you purchase it or make food scraps, manure, worm, or mushroom compost, you need to know how to use compost to get the most out of this black gold.” – Carolyn and Josh Thomas

How to Build an Underground Greenhouse – “One of the limiting factors in growing our own food is the length of the growing season, the time from the last frost in spring to the first frost in the fall. This varies, depending on the part of the country one lives in. The problem of short growing seasons is nothing new, farmers and gardeners have dealt with it for centuries. The gardeners, probably with the help of some Roman engineers, came up with an ingenious solution to their problem, creating the first greenhouse in the western world. Through the years, gardeners and farmers have experimented with the basic idea of greenhouses, finding ways to make the greenhouse absorb more sunlight and convert it to heat. This has made it possible to extend the growing season even more, improving their harvest.” – Bill White

May Gardening Tips and To-Do Lists by Planting Zone and Region – Jennifer Poindexter

Warning of Cashless Societies (There’s already a movement afoot within the U.S. to keep certain types of people out of grocery stores) – “A cashless society is a controlled society. If everything must go through an online banking or credit card process, then you have just lost virtually all control over what you buy. Anything that is not politically sanctioned(guns, ammo, body armor, helmets, particular books, particular website premium subscriptions, political donations, etc.) could very easily be vaporized overnight. ” – Clark Barnes  – GOOD ARTICLE.

THE BIG PICTURE

Pope Francis has died aged 88 – “Pope Francis’ reign in the papal throne spanned more than a decade, and witnessed the spread of widespread confusion on numerous matters of the Catholic faith.” – Michael Haynes

The Great Resignation: Klaus Schwab and the End of Predatory Globalism – “We are witnessing the symbolic collapse of an old world order.” – Sayer Ji – WITH THE DEATH OF THE POPE AND KLAUS OFFICIALLY STEPPING DOWN, DID GLOBALISM JUST TAKE A BIG HIT!!!!

Jesus Loved Israel’s Enemies and Still Does – “Jesus commanded us to love our enemies, and then he went out and demonstrated how to do just that. Jesus still loves the so-called enemies of Israel and the Zionist United States, because he died for their sins. He loves the Muslims, the Arabs, the Palestinians, the Iranians, the Turks, the Chinese, the Russians, the Venezuelans, and everyone else that our government declares to be an “enemy” of the United States. And many American Christians today are siding with our government, calling for the destruction and genocide of these people who are declared our “enemies”, disobeying the clear teaching of Jesus to love our enemies and pray for them. As Jesus said, they “will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” You have been warned.” – Brian Shilhavy

Faith Meets Science: The Shocking Truth About the Shroud of Turin – “New scientific and historical discoveries challenge long-held doubts about the Shroud of Turin. If the Shroud is real, it could be the closest thing we have to proof that Jesus lived, died, and rose again. The evidence is real and worth looking at. You don’t need to be an expert—just curious enough to ask, “What if this is true?”” -lLioness of Judah

REAL ID: Phony Security, Real Authoritarianism – “Those who hoped the second Trump Administration would reject big spending, war, and restrictions on liberty continue to be disappointed. A new disappointment came when Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced her department would in May begin enforcing the REAL ID law.” – Ron Paul

White Identity in America – “Multiculturalism, as it manifests now, behaves like a solvent. It dissolves the distinct, merges the sacred into sameness, smiles as it rubs out the texture of rooted lives. Within this flood, those who carry European memory find themselves drifting, searching for a foothold. The word “White” is that foothold. It holds meaning through resistance, through memory, through the fierce dignity of cultural continuity. Identity, in this sense, becomes a form of love — love for origins, love for inherited stories, love for those yet to come.” – Constantin von Hoffmeister

Viruses Don’t Exist. Deal With It. (Part 1) Why viruses are the Bigfoot of modern medicine. – Anthony Colpo

PREP Act Brief: “License to Kill” must be repealed. (VIDEO) – “A collection of articles for ease of educating your friends, family, doctors and legislators. Please sign the petition to repeal the PREP Act linked in the post.” – Sasha Latypova and James Roguski

The Battle for Your Brain is ALREADY Underway – “Mind control. Nanobots. Neurohacking. Bring up these topics with the average Joe and he’ll tell you that they are the stuff of science fiction. But these concepts are not the cyberpunk fantasies of some novelist’s overactive imagination. They are under development right now.” – The Corbett Report

Legal Notice Served .. on those who would Destroy Evidence – “Evidence also evidencing the extent of the synthetic DNA contamination. This is a brief note to inform readers and especially fellow legal, science, and medical colleagues, of letters of demand sent earlier today by myself and separately by the law firm PJ O’Brien & Associates. Many will have read the article last week by journalist Rebekah Barnett covering Queensland Health informing QoVAX study participants of the decision to destroy over 100,000 biospecimens since stopping funding for the study in June 2023 .. these are specimens from Folk who received the Pfizer and Moderna Covid shots .. many of which recipients aren’t feeling so good these days .. while some are just plain dead, it is saddening to say” – Julian Gillespie  -LINKED REBEKAH’S ARTICLE LAST TUESDAY ON 04/15/25!!!!

Fauci Household Got $3.5M Wealthier in First Year After Retirement – “As he hit speaker circuit, wife Dr. Christine Grady remained NIH’s chief bioethicist.” – Open The Books

NEWS

Preachers – “One of the amusing sideshows since Trump has taken power is the pearl clutching from the usual suspects about the law and process. The people who sat silent as lawfare was waged against Americans for the crime of holding unapproved opinions are now suddenly concerned with the rule of law. The people who took money from tech companies to remain silent about tech censorship are now carrying on as if they are dissidents because they no longer control the discourse. Hypocrisy is a feature of man, and it has always had a central role in American politics because America is a nation of moralizers.” – The Z Man

The Great Consternation – “A great consternation boils and bubbles across the land as the sinister forces of Jacobin lawfare keep up their legalistic battery against the nation. You better believe that the country will not stand for much more of this lunatic judicial coup aimed at wrecking the authority of law itself, and with that, any chance for sane management of our affairs. On Saturday, the activist org Indivisible, sponsored by Linked-In billionaire Reid Hoffman and dark money “pass through” funder the Tides Foundation (Bill Gates and others), sent its “protest” troops into the streets to pretend that there is public support for national suicide. Easter weekend looked like a turning point in this struggle for sanity over the public interest.” – James Howard Kunstler

Forgive Them—For They Know Not What They Do – “Or do they? We’re celebrating 250 years of the republic, but what do we have to celebrate? The upward trajectory of our freedom is seen over 150 years, but the fall from grace into tyranny is a shorter span—beginning in 1913—and accelerating post WW2. Be that as it may, the US slide into tyranny conflates with decisions made post WW2, when the US chose between sovereignty and control—opting for control. The consequences for that decision are everywhere—domestically/globally. A corporate, crony culture with little concern for Americans has, as its mission, controlling the the world economy (ultimate trickle-down policy). And, Tulsi Gabbard, now a right side of the aisle intel-hack, releases Biden’s plan to depict facts as disinformation, while her boss, Donald Trump, works feverishly to strip Americans of 1st Amendment protection. ” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

China Halts US Liquid Natural Gas Imports, Turns to Russia Instead – Mish – GOOD TARIFF STRATEGY THERE, DON. PUSH RUSSIA AND CHINA CLOSER TOGETHER!!!!!!!!

Your Hate for Trump is Stronger Than Your Love for Me – “It is unconscionable that the world has reached a point where this is true, that someone’s hate for a politician is stronger than their love for family and friends. I can’t see this being justifiable in any context, but particularly in this one. I do not live in a marginalized family, black, Asian, Arab, or Muslim, and I do not have any gay or trans family members, so it is even more insane that the people who make up my family would hate Trump to the degree they do. How is this possible? You got me. But it is. And it isn’t only me, it’s a lot of people. I am a psychotherapist and have the unique privilege of seeing a very wide and varied demographic. ” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

The Wait Is the Price: Quiet Rationing Plagues Canadian Health Care – “The time between referral and treatment has tripled since 1993. The supply of doctors, MRIs, and hospital beds can’t keep up with tax-subsidized demand for care.” – Vincent Geloso

WATCH: MSNBC Suggests Trump Plans to Deport African-Americans – “The latest racial-tinged conspiracy theory that the TDS-addled corporate state media is running with is that the Trump administration is developing plans to deport African-Americans, otherwise known as “people of color.” Let the brutal ogre and former Kamala Harris press ops goon who has rebranded herself as a journalist, Symone Sanders, explain:’ – Ben Bartee

I cover Trump; good, bad, ugly; here’s a major UGLY – Jon Rappoport

Is Trump Morphing into Bush on Foreign Policy and Civil Liberty Issues? – Dr. Joseph Sansone

“He Who Has The Gold Makes The Rules” President Trump Proclaims Over Easter Weekend – “While many are still wondering about whether or not the audit of Fort Knox is happening, it doesn’t seem like President Trump doubts the country’s gold holdings. With gold surging through $3420/oz. for the first time ever this morning, many are pointing back to one of President Trump’s Truth Social posts from yesterday. Trump wrote on Easter: “THE GOLDEN RULE OF NEGOTIATING AND SUCCESS: HE WHO HAS THE GOLD MAKES THE RULES. THANK YOU!”. ” – Tyler Durden

Pelosi Pushes Back Against Progressive Purge – “At 85, Pelosi has filed to run again in 2026. To say removing this woman out of power is an uphill battle would be an understatement. Nancy owns the party and has her fingers in every cookie jar in the Swamp and beyond.” – Sarah Cowgill

CA Bill May Prioritize Migrants for Disaster Relief – “Humanity vs legality in the Golden State” – Kelli Ballard

Putin reacts to proposal to halt civilian strikes – “Russia targets Ukrainian and foreign troops regardless of whether they are located in civilian facilities, President Vladimir Putin has said. Putin was speaking to Russia 1 TV on Monday, when he was asked about the recent Easter ceasefire and a Ukrainian proposal that the sides declare a bilateral halt to strikes on civilian targets. “This needs to be sorted out. This is all a subject for a thorough study,” Putin said, adding that Moscow is not ruling out such a decision. Kiev has repeatedly used civilian infrastructure for military needs, Putin stressed. Putin confirmed that as of Monday, the 30-hour truce between Russia and Ukraine was over. He cited Defense Ministry reports that while there had been a reduction of hostilities during the period, Ukraine’s forces violated the armistice thousands of times.” – RT

ECONOMIC NEWS

(TAKE ACTION NOW!) US DOLLAR GETTING BLASTED (AGAIN…) STOCK MARKET SET TO FALL (AGAIN).(VIDEO) – “Trump wants to lower  interest rates to counteract the inflation from his own tariff policies. This is so twisted. This is Fortune. Lowering rates kills the dollar purchasing power. It makes inflation worse It does help multinational corporations That’s what this is all about. You see this guy here Trump okay  uh he believes that you are stupid. He believes that you don’t understand the concept that lower rates means a weaker dollar a loss of purchasing power. Again what are the two fundamental truths in economics and finance. NNumber one to have a strong economy you need a strong currency Number two to have a strong currency you need a corresponding rate  of interest high enough to support the purchasing power of the currency” – Gregory Mannarino

Dollar Crashes On Powell Removal Speculation, Gold Soars To All Time High And Bitcoin Suddenly Spikes – “What was a miserable shortened week for the USD has gone from bad to worse in early Asia trading, when the Dollar index suddenly collapsed to a fresh 3 year low” – Tyler Durden

Trumpism and the Fading Dollar – “The breakdown and reordering of global trade via President Trump’s tariff policies will have many consequences. Long established trade relationships come with mutual dependency. Abruptly severing or restricting these ties will yank the rug out from under how people the world over pursue their livelihoods. America imports and consumes massive amounts of goods and products Made in China and other Asian countries. Trump’s trade tariffs put the export driven economic models of these countries at extreme risk. America accounts for over 30 percent of the world’s consumer spending. Should tariffs limit the ability for countries to export goods to America, they will be left with a massive supply glut. Thus, they will have two options: Increase domestic consumption. Or decrease production.” – MN Gordon

The Death Cross And Market Bottoms – Lance Roberts

The Survival Shelter They Don’t Want You To Know About – “When most people talk about surviving a disaster, the first thing that comes up is bugging out. Packing a bag, hitting the road, and heading for a remote Bug Out Location (BOL) has become almost a default plan in prepper circles. It’s not a bad strategy since sometimes it’s the only one that makes sense. But what if there was a better way in most cases? I am sure real preppers already realized what that place is. Your home! The only place where you control everything. The authorities would rather you do not realize the power that you have when you transform your house into your survival shelter.” – Fergus Mason

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

NEWS

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

Then and Now (VIDEO) “TARIFFS: Democrats Used to Sound JUST Like Trump…” – Bert Powers / (John Barleycorn)

Congressmen tell Glenn Beck they are being monitored and threatened by CIA – “The revelation suggests Congress is compromised in its legislative functions, and even that the U.S. is not currently a true democratic republic” – .Emily Mangiaracina

China Escalates With 125% Tariff On US Imports, Signals Will “Ignore” Future Retaliation – Tyler Durden

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.

These groups have depleted the excess savings accumulated during the pandemic and are turning to high-interest borrowing to bridge the gap. ” – Lance Roberts
