THE BIG PICTURE

Bring Back Asylums: It’s Time To Talk About Transgender Fatigue In America – “Transgenderism is not a civil rights movement; it’s a social engineering experiment. The LGBT movement is not a struggle for equal rights; it’s a covert war for political control. The agenda of the people involved in the spheres of trans-activism are radical zealots hellbent on the destruction of their enemies by any means necessary – And if you believe in logic, objective reality, biological science and moral imperative, then you are one of their enemies.” – Brandon Smith

Canada’s expansion of MAiD: “It’s almost the textbook picture of a slippery slope (VIDEO) .” – “Dr. Steven Goldsmith exposes how “Medical Assistance in Dying” has morphed from a compassionate option for the terminally ill into a bureaucratic death machine.” – Collapse Life

Doctors in Canada propose euthanasia for babies with disabilities – “Doctors in Canada have said euthanasia for newborn babies who are born with disabilities “may be an appropriate treatment”, as concerns grow about the expansion of Canada’s euthanasia and assisted suicide programme. Speaking on behalf of the Quebec College of Physicians (CMQ) to the Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying, Dr Louis Roy previously recommended that euthanasia be introduced for babies with “severe deformations” and “very grave… medical syndromes”. The CMQ added that, under these circumstances, the deliberate ending of a child’s life constitutes “care”.” – righttolife.org.uk

As Reuters ‘Fact-Checked’ COVID Vaccine ‘Misinformation,’ Its CEO Also Sat on Pfizer’s Board – “The former CEO of Reuters — who’s still on the board of its parent company, Thomson Reuters Foundation — has also been a board member of COVID-19 vaccine maker Pfizer since 2014, according to investigative journalist Paul D. Thacker. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Reuters repeatedly fact-checked statements and articles that criticized COVID-19 vaccines — but not once did the news organization’s fact-checkers find fault with Pfizer,” – Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D. – IMAGINE THAT!!

Cold is the Crisis They Forgot to Warn Us About – “Autumn arrived weeks early, and it was not difficult to predict in advance, as it is a sign of global cooling, a pattern that has been developing in recent years. This year continues the now apparent cooling trend, with Europe, Russia, and North America enduring a string of bitterly cold nights this week, as records tumble across multiple nations” – Dr. Sircus

Rothschild Banking Cartel Deploying American Military to Capture Venezuelan Central Bank -“Trump’s Venezuela Gambit Disguises Banking Control as War on Drugs. The Fentanyl Fallacy The Trump administration’s stated mission is to clamp down on the drug trade by intercepting cartel shipments of fentanyl heading north. However, organizations such as the Sinaloa Cartel based in Sinaloa, Mexico and Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación based in Jalisco, Mexico, receive fentanyl precursors and synthetic opioids directly from China or from intermediaries in the United States. The reality is that the vast majority of fentanyl flooding American streets originates from China, not Venezuela.” – The Wise Wolf

The War On Reality is Over – “I will attempt to unravel this hairball. Most obviously, the suspect, now dead, in Wednesday’s Minneapolis school shooting was not a “her.” He was a him, a 23-year-old male, Robert Westman, who had been pretending to be a female for some years since undergoing puberty,… The essence of all that was a gigantic game of pretend, a broad and deliberate dissociation from reality for the purpose of maintaining a political racketeering operation, which is what the Democratic Party had become. Pretend that men can become women. Pretend that Covid vaccinations are safe and effective. Pretend that national borders don’t matter. Pretend that crime is not a social problem. Pretend that riots are mostly peaceful. Pretend that our elections are free and fair. Pretend that “Joe Biden” is president. Pretend that Ukraine is fighting for democracy. And so on. Since the Democratic Party has zero useful ideas for improving the lives of this country’s citizens, all it has is pretend theater, which is public performative psychopathology, otherwise known as acting-out. Mass murders of school-children by so-called trans people are the most garish and horrific actings-out, the most offensive to society, a slaughter of innocents. Such an act grabs everybody’s attention. The New York Times pretends that all this is “a mystery” because to tell the truth would inculpate them in the ongoing criminal racketeering operation of their patron, the Democratic Party.” – James Howard Kunstler

The Making of a Monster – “The Minnesota transsexual murderer of school children wrote out clear clues of what drove him into becoming something some would consider a monstrosity and how society helped him get there.” – David Haggith

Note on the Minnesota Shooting – “Media coverage of the latest tragedy hits another new low.” – Matt Taibbi

The Rhetoric and Realities of Gun Control – “Within minutes of the shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic Church Mass on Wednesday, politicians and pundits were calling for new gun control measures and blaming conservatives for the deaths of the children. These are the same calls that have emerged after past shootings for everything from a ban on “assault weapons” to a total ban on all guns. What the public is not being told is the limited range of options under existing constitutional precedent. The inconvenient fact in these interviews was that Minnesota has some of the nation’s strictest gun controls, and these weapons were acquired legally in that state by the shooter.” – Jonathan Turley

Vanity Fair Snubs Melania (Again) – “Staff threatens walkout over the world’s most stylish First Lady. It turns out, I wasn’t the last birdbrain to be employed by the Condescending Nasties. In fact, as I type, an entire flock of them are squawking their liberal little hearts out about whether or not Melania Trump should be allowed on the cover of Vanity Fair. Of course, Democratic First Ladies historically get the cover treatment like it’s written into the Constitution” – Jenna McCarthy

ANOTHER Private Bill Gates-Trump Meeting in the White House — Why? – “Yet again, for reasons undisclosed except in the vaguest terms possible — “discussing the importance of U.S. global health programs and health research” — the president welcomed arguably the world’s most egregious and prolific criminal, whose unparalleled psychopathy is financed by his ill-gotten fortune in the hundreds of billions, Bill Gates. If whatever these two are discussing is on the level, why did the White House not provide a press release detailing what they covered?  Last week, in suspect timing, per The New York Times, Gates strategically severed ties with the shadowy Democrat money-laundering firm Arabella Advisors.” – Ben Bartee

Trump’s IRS Reversal – “For Americans who see the IRS as intrusive, inefficient, or even illegitimate, the reversal is a striking reminder that Washington’s thirst for revenue will always trump rhetoric. Earlier this year, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick announced that President Donald Trump had a new strategy for funding the federal government: an External Revenue Service. “[The President’s] plan is very simple: to abolish the Internal Revenue Service and let all the outsiders pay,” he told Fox News in February. But replacing income taxes with tariff revenues was always a pipe dream, something economists have been saying for months. In other words, Trump’s $2 trillion target was always unattainable. Running the federal government on tariff revenues might have been possible in the 19th century, when federal revenues accounted for 2% or 3% of GDP. When federal spending accounts for 25% of the economy, tariffs aren’t going to cut it.” – Jon Miltimore

Law n’ Order – “Perhaps the greatest weakness conservatives have is their belief that you can have authoritarianism and liberty at the same time. One example of this intellectual disarray is the typical conservative’s support for the War on Drugs – which is in fact a war on liberty. The conservative does not see that if he supports the arrest/prosecution and punishment of people who smoke pot he also supports the arrest/prosecution and punishment of people who drink alcohol. That it has snot happened yet does not mean it can’t – much less that it won’t. The authoritarian principle is the same. Conservatives have a tendency to venerate authority – cops and even more so the military – even though both work for the government and the conservative says he is leery of government. That is a hard circle to square.” – Eric Peters

How did American Crime get so Bad? – “And how to fix it” – Peter St Onge

The Estrogens’ Final Gambit Flooding Us with Rapists and Murderers to Ignite a Holy War. Hear me, you who cling to power—you Estrogens perched in courts and boardrooms, both houses of parliament, every level of government and polite society, you who presume to rule through ballots and bribes: we are the bastard sons and daughters of forgotten lords, our patience a fraying thread. We’ve waited for the system to self-correct, for invitations to reclaim what is ours by blood-right. But that era wanes.” – E.M. Burlingame  – SOUNDS LIKE MR. BURLINGAME IS A BIT FED UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe the girl with the axe should run Scotland – “It’s come to this: A fourteen-year-old Scottish girl has more courage to fight evil pedophiles invading her country than all the governments and police forces of Europe combined. The contemptible, dishonorable, castrated “authorities” charged the girl who defended her sister and herself from likely rapists — not the grown “men” who deserve a spectacular beating and prompt airdrop in the middle of the North Sea.” – J.B. Shurk

Parties in Cologne elections agree to speak of migrants only in positive terms, as German political dumbassery plumbs new depths – eugyppius

Christians Massacred with Machetes in Nigerian Genocide (VIDEO) – CBN News

Trump Makes Israel Great – “The President declares that he “can do anything”. The assertion explains a lot in terms of how an unhinged Trump regards himself and his office and it should serve as a warning that more ego driven inanity is yet to come. Trump’s most heinous crimes are related to foreign policy, most particularly his complicity in Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians as well as his continued arming of Ukraine to prolong the slaughter in its war with Russia.” – Philip Giraldi

How western media helped turn Israel’s genocide into ‘fake news’ – “Israel’s justification for the mass slaughter of Gaza’s people and their starvation – now officially confirmed as a famine engineered by Israel – was built on a parade of easily discredited lies from the start: of beheaded infants, of babies in ovens, of mass rape. It should surprise no one that Israel continued advancing similarly outrageous lies as it set about – as all genocidal regimes must do – dismantling the most basic infrastructure of survival for Gaza’s population. It cut off humanitarian aid delivered by the United Nations agency Unrwa, and destroyed the enclave’s hospitals, while killing, jailing and torturing its medical personnel. Israel claimed it had documents proving the UN was a front for Hamas – documents it never produced. Meanwhile, all 36 of Gaza’s hospitals have been attacked – attacks whose implicit rationale was that they were built atop Hamas “command and control centres”, though those centres have never been found.” – Jonathan Cook

Modi to hold talks with Xi and Putin in China – “The Indian PM will be in Tianjin for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit – RT

Here’s What the US’ Security Guarantees For Ukraine Might Look Like – “Trump appears to be pushing his luck with Putin, who’s open to compromises, not concessions, let alone significant security ones. If this approach doesn’t change, then a serious escalation is expected.” – Andrew Korybko

‘Obvious’ That Putin-Zelensky Meeting Won’t Happen: Germany’s Merz – “Overnight and early Thursday hours saw Russia unleash the second largest aerial attack on Ukraine since the conflict began, which included almost 600 missiles and drones, and which unleashed devastation particularly in Kiev. And meanwhile the White House has done nothing to slow the arms pipeline to Ukraine’s military,” – Tyler Durden

THE BIG PICTURE

Whitney Webb EXPOSES Clinton, Trump, Epstein & More! (VIDEO) – Sabby Sabs  – AS USUAL, A GOOD INFORMATIVE LISTEN FROM WHITNEY!!!!

Shall We Forget the Epstein Business? – “It appears that the Epstein Business is slipping past the event horizon of the memory hole. It is not just the Epstein Business, either. It is the memory-holing of the Epstein Business by the people who are likely either participants in whatever sordidness was going on or aiding and abetting the shoving-underthe-rug of the sordidness – for reasons all too easy and awful to guess. Instead, the diversion we are presented with is a pretend-play investigation of Adam “shifty” Schiff and the ex-president whose name is Barry, not “Barack.” The latter becoming Blackish when it was perceived (correctly) as being politically advantageous to be Blackish. Just not too much (per Joe Biden). Nothing, it goes without saying, is going to happen to any of them – beyond sturm-und-drang Tweets that people who smoke Hopium believe means something is going to happen.” – Eric Peters

It is what it is – “Canadians, for the most part, have chosen socialism. I’m not sure that the majority understand what that means and will mean but it is what it is.” – Sylvia Shawcross

RESISTANCE 👉BOYCOTT + PROTEST👈 a personal passion, and a lifelong commitment – “All my adult life (almost 60 years now) I have boycotted pharmaceuticals, chemicals in food, animal cruelty and top-down governance wherever they rear their ugly heads. I have simultaneously protested on the front lines and, for the recent decade, via the medium of writing.” – Frances Leader

Carbon Butter – You Will Eat Synthetic Food – ““You will eat bugs,” as the infamous Klaus Schwab line goes, was merely the beginning of what the globalists intent on ushering in the Great Reset have planned for the masses. Food production is bad for the environment, therefore, the people must resort to lab-created synthetic products. All of this may sound like it is coming from a dystopian novel but the plans have been enacted. The latest synthetic product is carbon butter—a butter-like substance made using carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and oxygen to synthesize fat molecules without animals, oils, or plants. Savor, the startup company in Batavia, Illinois that is creating this product is backed by none other than Bill Gates.” – Martin Armstrong

New Bill Gates-Funded Chimeric Polio Vaccine for Children Sheds 100% in Recipients, Spread Documented: ‘The Lancet’ Journal – “Frankenstein pathogen cobbled from multiple viruses gained genetic stability, meaning scientists rewired its genome with an unnatural trait no wild poliovirus has.” – Jon Fleetwood

World Council for Health Sounds Alarm: Covid-Vaxxed Face ‘Ticking Time Bomb’ of Mass Deaths – Frank Bergman

The death cult continues hunting pregnant women and newborns. Moderna’s CMV vaccine will be approved soon – “The strategy of eugenics and population control by “public health”, aka, poisoning by “vaccines” is not new, and mothers and children have always been its target. The “death care” drive to poison babies before they are born or on the first day of their life at the latest continues unabated, and yes, it is a critical agenda item that spans every administration, regardless of political party in charge.” – Sasha Latypova

New Workplace Epidemic Identified (Because Hating Your Job Needed a Fancy HR Term) – “It’s called “quiet cracking” and it’s as woke as it sounds” – Jenna McCarthy.

Malone Raised Victimhood To The $10B Level – “Malone Tries To Convince He Is Anti-Vaccine After Receiving $10B At DTRA And DoD” – George Webb

NEWS

An Offer He Can’t Refuse – “Volodymyr Zelenskyy is dropping in at the White House today so that Mr. Trump can read him the riot act. It’s that simple. Somewhere to or from Alaska, Mr. Trump concluded that a ceasefire would not work, for the excellent reason that seven previous ceasefires in Ukraine failed, and only reinforced distrust and disappointment between the warring parties. Instead, the goal is a peace settlement, an end to the war. The USA and Russia cannot make peace in Ukraine because the war is between Ukraine and Russia. The USA can only mediate and propose terms.” – James Howard Kunstler

Russia Did NOT Invade Ukraine – “A totally transparent blatant lie has been turned into a truth throughout the Western world. The lie is that Russia invaded Ukraine. I will provide the factual history which is easy to verify. When Washington overthrew the Ukrainian government in 2014 and installed a puppet, Washington relied on the Banderites to push the government into hostility with the Russian settled areas of Ukraine, areas such as Crimea and Donbas, that originally were part of Russia.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Bumbling Towards a Nobel Prize? – “Trump sees only fragments (with no coherent overview), of what the US has done to foster the Russia/China alliance—making it almost unassailable. He also doesn’t understand that BRICS is a reaction to political instability caused by the US—and Trump. Trump doesn’t understand that BRICS is not about a currency to rival the dollar. Nor a military alliance. BRICS is about doing business—with trusted levels of predicability. Understanding who made-up the Russian delegation, next to the US team, is but a joke. The Russians are seasoned diplomats, playing the long game, while the US teams are Zionist, neocon realtors.” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

Today’s Outcome In DC Could Leave The US Much Stronger, And Europe Far Weaker – “Following what was expected to be a Friday of high geopolitical drama for markets, but wasn’t, today may prove that event instead. So, on security guarantees, Europe will say, “The US”; the US will say, “Europe’; and the US will win. Just as Trump told Zelenskyy “You don’t have the cards,” the UK and Europe don’t either. For those expecting the US and Europe to do more economically, i.e., secondary sanctions on buyers of Russian oil and/or action vs. Russian oil at sea, neither is prepared for the pain and geopolitical / geoeconomic escalation it would involve: if they were, such sanctions would have been placed on China already, as one example. Obviously, they haven’t, and Trump just made clear they likely won’t be – Europe didn’t even need to say it.” – Michael Every   – GOOD GEOPOLITICAL/ECONOMICAL ANALYSIS FROM MICHAEL!!!

Zelensky Drags Traveling Circus to Town for One Last Encore – “First, let us mention the most obvious thing, which is that Russia’s primary confirmed victory in the talks—as opposed to the various speculative parameters now floating about—was aligning the US with Putin’s demand of “agreement before ceasefire”, rather than Zelensky and Europe’s rival demand of “ceasefire before agreement”.” – Simplicius

Zelensky, Not Trump or Putin, is the Threat to Peace – “For the brutal war to finally end, the Ukrainian president must go.” – Brandon J. Weichert

Ursula’s big success: More U.S. tariffs – a deal to cry about but presented as victory – “According to media outlets and, of course, politicians – after all, the media is the mouthpiece for politicians – Ursula von der Leyen, representing the EU, achieved a major victory. The Americans agreed to impose tariffs of only 15% on European products! Von der Leyen’s success is so great that the EU will be forced to buy energy from the Americans for the sum of $750 billion and $600 billion for defense equipment from the United States. In short, the Europeans will pay dearly for the incompetence of the clowns who, in a completely unprofessional manner, govern the European Union.” – Sonja van den Ende

Rumours of night time training camps in Great Yarmouth (short VIDEO) – StarmerOut on X  – SO WHAT’S GOING ON IN ENGLAND!!!

John Brennan Just Showed Us Why Nobody Should Ever Take Him Seriously – “Democrats are already making fools of themselves over President Donald Trump’s Friday meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Now, one of them is going full conspiracy theory over the matter. Former CIA Director John Brennan, during a recent appearance on MSNBC, suggested that Putin may have placed a microchip in Trump’s limousine as they rode together to the meeting site. So, Brennan actually believes that a foreign head of state would be stupid enough to try placing some type of bug in the presidential limo while they were on the way to discuss an end to a war. Or perhaps, he’s just doing what he does best: Peddling false narratives.” – Jeff Charles

Mamdani’s “Affordability” Agenda Could be Costly – “His plans include more free or low-cost services, including creating city-owned grocery stores, making all city buses free, freezing rents on stabilized apartments, providing free childcare and raising taxes on the wealthy. While that’s worrisome enough in a city facing potential annual budget gaps of $13 billion, a far more insidious threat to a Mamdani-run city are his anti-law enforcement and pro-offender stances and policy prescriptions.” – Open the Books

How Zionism became orthodoxy for the Jewish religion – “Zionists have managed to conflate Judaism with Zionism, and the few anti-Zionist Jews lack the capacity to carry Jewish identity into the future. The Zionist lobby uses the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism to silence critics of Zionism. A common retort is that Zionism and Judaism are distinct things. This is true now, was even truer in the past, but may very well not be true in the future.” – Bruna Frascolla

New GPS Data Reveals Exactly Who Showed Up At White House Protests – “67 devices tied to federal government employees, with access to secured federal buildings (DoD, VA, DHS, DOJ, FBI, Treasury).” -Tyler Durden

US Pressure Might Inadvertently Bring India & China Back Together – “Any meaningful improvement of Sino-Indo ties, especially in the economic dimension, could prompt Trump to either walk back his hardline policy on India to court it away from China or punitively double down on this approach.” – Andrew Korybko

Home builders boost sales incentives to 5-year high as they struggle to sell newly built homes – “Two-thirds of builders are offering sales incentives to lure home buyers” – Aarthi Swaminathan

America Don’t Need No “Independent” Fed – “Talk about hiding in plain sight. Here is possibly the most important graph ever about the flagging state of the US economy and the utter failure of Washington’s constant efforts during the last two decades to “stimulate” improved outcomes. To wit, the US industrial production index—which measures the sum of manufacturing, energy, mining, and utility output—marched straight uphill at a 3.3% annual rate between 1954 and 2007. Yet since then it has essentially plateaued, rising by just 0.10% per annum during the past 17 years. That’s right. The growth rate of America’s industrial foundation has plunged by 97% since the pre-crisis peak in Q4 2007.” – David Stockman

$37 Trillion (and Counting): How Government Debt Affects Your Wallet – Peter Reagan

The Last Thing We Need Right Now is a Fed Rate Cut – “Pressure on Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve continues to mount as both Wall Street and the White House demand more easy money to keep asset price inflation accelerating ever upward. These inflationists also hope that easy money-policy will somehow reverse the current stagnating trend in employment. In recent months, both President Trump and the usual Wall Street outlets have insisted that the Fed reduce the target policy interest rate to ensure that stock prices and real estate prices continue to skyrocket ever upward. This is the last thing ordinary Americans need right now. Yes, continually rising asset prices are good for firms and individuals who already own large amounts of assets. These people have been pushing for lower interest rates for decades now, because lower interest rates function as a subsidy for asset owners and fuel rising asset prices.” – Ryan McMaken

Former Fed Insider on Recession & Hyperinflation Risk. Bullish for Gold?

THE BIG PICTURE

The Forbidden Question – “My personal experiences seem to lag a bit behind the general population. I have not, until recently, noticed too many people succumbing to strange cancers. Now, quite a few have come up in my personal life, as well as in my professional life. We have, of course, heard for years that one of the fallouts from the irresponsible release of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine was the possibility of increased cases of all sorts of cancers. Proponents of this view argue that the vaccines, introduced globally in late 2020, have triggered an unprecedented increase in cancer diagnoses, particularly among younger individuals, with cancers presenting as unusually aggressive and resistant to treatment. They point to anecdotal reports from clinicians and pathologists who claim to have observed a rise in rare and rapidly progressing cancers, such as cholangiocarcinoma, lymphomas, and triple-negative breast cancer, since the vaccine rollout. So, what is the forbidden question? Obviously, it is, “Were they vaxxed?” when we hear of an unusual cancer death or diagnosis. We typically do not ask that question for obvious reasons, one of them being that we already know the answer.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

BlackRock’s Larry Fink Now World Economic Forum Co-Chair – “BlackRock CEO, already controlling trillions in assets, now sits atop the Davos machine pushing the “Great Reset.” – Jon Fleetwood  – THIS IS HUGE, ACTUALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!

A few bad cats – “Dear haters… I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to anyone who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom of speech and thought and the rollback of incipient totalitarian joy theft that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said “thank you” and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a subscription to midjourney and spend your Sunday morning cyberbullying addleheaded politicians until they learn to fear the public square as nature intended. Either way, I don’t give a DAMN what you think you’re entitled to!” – El Gato Malo  – WELL SAID BY EL GATO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Cancer”, the greatest FAKE disease-label ever invented – “First, understand that, yes, people suffer, they’re in pain, they are disabled, they die. No one denies that. But from what? Why are they really suffering and dying? These disease labels are COVER STORIES. They protect the corporations and governments that poison populations. The toxins are the real causes.” – Jon Rappoport

NEWS (QUITE A FEW AND VARYING OPINIONS ON THE SUMMIT)

Historic Summit: An Empty and Underwhelming PR Spectacle, But Still Good For Relations – “The long-awaited Trump-Putin summit came and went in Anchorage, Alaska:. The cartoonish staging of the event coordination was another Trump ‘special’, straight from the playbook of his teenage-boy fever dream, stacking warplanes like matchbox toys, and even arranging for a crude B-2 Spirit and F-35 stealth bomber flyover above Putin’s head just as he made his way down the hastily-draped runner as some kind of strongman ‘power move’ and intimidation tactic, meant to evoke the recent Iranian strikes: This type of antic stunt ages very badly—it’s gimmicky, low-impulse, and signals to the counterparty—in this case, Putin—that you care more about domestic optics than establishing an atmosphere of true rapport and cooperation; i.e. it’s more a show of bravado to the domestic audience and critics. To the rest of the world, such displays lack taste and class.” – Simplicius   – 👍 WELL SAID BY SIMPLICIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Alaska summit was a success. The challenge is to make it last – “This is the moment when the US has to stick to a course of normalization with Russia no matter what the EU and Kiev want” – Tarik Cyril Amar

How you know the Putin-Trump meeting was a success – “Because all the Russia-haters said it was a failure The Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska ended a few short hours after it started, and it was by any intelligent standard a great meeting. We don’t have all the details yet, but the verdict is still clear. Let’s first establish why the critics have no leg to stand on. From at least March 2022, no Western leader, whether in Europe or North America, ever bothered to meet with Putin. You would think that because there is a war going on, that such a meeting would be priority #1, but apparently they all failed this basic test: Macron, Mertz, Starmer, Meloni, Kristersson, Stubb and all the rest — most importantly, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. None of them lifted a finger to speak with Putin. Only one or two of them even placed a phone call to Putin over those three years. They were useless, which turned into being counterproductive.” – Anton Wahlman

For Putin, It’s Business; For Trump, It’s Fame – “Reflections on the Trump-Putin Meeting in Alaska” – Bill Astore

Trump Grades Putin Summit a ’10’, But it Was a Spectacular Flop – “The summit is over and the next round is reportedly cancelled.” – Mish

Trump Said It: “There’s No Better Word Than Stupid.” – “For anyone who still thinks Donald Trump does not represent the interests of what is called “the deep state” but is actually the shallow or official US state, it is time to think again. If he is not a figurehead for those alleged hidden forces, then he will agree to a Russia-Ukraine settlement on Russia’s fundamental terms – that is, a mutual security agreement that stipulates the pulling back of US/NATO forces encircling Russia, etc. – when he meets with Putin in Alaska today. There will be no further delay.” – Edward Curtin

Global Media Meltdown As Putin And Trump Have Goodwill Peace Summit In Alaska; EU Media Openly Miserable, Zelensky Will Visit WH On Monday: What Does The 4 Quadrillion Dollar Debt Have To Do With It? – “So Do They Need A Thermonuclear War? They Don’t Need A Little Piddly War.” – Celia Farber

What’s Standing In The Way Of A Grand Compromise On Ukraine? – “The onus is now on Zelensky to reciprocate Putin’s widely perceived willingness to compromise for peace. Putin and Trump publicly confirmed that they found a lot of common ground during their three-hour-long talks in Anchorage, but no grand compromise on Ukraine was reached due to “a couple of big [points]…” – Andrew Korybko

‘Democrat’ becoming synonymous with criminality, anti-Americanism – “There is no other way to say it: today’s Democrats have a love-affair with criminals, violence, and vulgarity. Thus, they clearly favor illegal immigrants over citizens, criminals over the law-abiding, and chaos over the Constitution. The examples are legion, inexhaustible. To wit:” – Eric Utter

Can Responsibility to Defend and Responsibility to Protect Be Reconciled? – “Trump deployed the National Guard to assist with cleaning up the town. Congress, the deep state, and possibly the courts will go along with this use of, and show of, force not because it is necessary or constitutional, but because it is good for them politically and materially, and because it sets one more useful precedent for federal power. It’s truly a win-win for them. Rather than a philosopher who thinks about how things should be – is man to be self-governed? should the state be limited? is war immoral? –Trump is a technician who assesses the “problem” with the “unit” and seeks to repair or replace it.  Trump is far more sincere and patriotic than either of the Clintons, which makes him a more attractive candidate, and his fix-it mentality has made him a minor threat to those actually moving and shaking the increasingly brittle US empire. ” – Karen Kwiatkowski

Mayor Bowser Sends Mixed Signals in a Washington Whirlwind – “Does she see Trump’s federalization of DC as a help or hindrance?” – Corey Smith

A Little Black Girl from Tennessee Takes Down Europe’s Illuminati “Aristocratic” Luciferian Pedo Scum – “And it is marvellous to see. Candace Owens has had me howling with laughter on and off for the last ten days. Ever since the President and First “Lady” of France decided to sue her for defamation. Candace does not pull punches.” – Elizabeth Nickson  – GOOD READ!!!

THE DOMINOS ARE FALLING… (GOLDMAN SACHS ISSUES A NEW STOCK MARKET WARNING). (VIDEO) – Gregory Mannarino

Inflation alarm bells went off again and prices are rising. Just how bad is it going to get? – “Consumer and wholesale prices ticked up in July” – Jeffry Bartash

When the Data Is Bad, Just Lie – “Bad jobs numbers? Just say they’re good. High inflation? Just claim it’s low. While the old adage “numbers don’t lie” may have a ring of truth, in reality, people lie a lot, and governments lie constantly—and they’re releasing the data that all the big decisions are supposed to be based on. For example, if people need three different jobs to house and feed their families, that’s clearly not good. But the government will paint it as a great thing by telling you that the jobs numbers are strong, failing to mention that the economy is actually so weak that people need multiple income streams just to survive.” – Peter Schiff  – GREAT POINT FROM PETER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The PROOF is in Today: YOU and U.S. Businesses Are Paying Entirely for the Trump Tariffs – “From CPI inflation earlier this week to skyrocketing producer inflation yesterday to stark proof today that foreign businesses are NOT compensating one bit for tariffs, YOU are the one getting stung!” – David Haggith

Wall Street Is Now Dumping It’s Junk On The Regular Investor (VIDEO) with Lance Roberts – Adam Taggart | Thoughtful Money®

A World Of Fiat – “What isn’t often mentioned is how this massive trade deficit ever came about to the extent that it has to begin with. If the world still operated on a gold standard these mega imbalances would have been impossible. Consider a world where every dollar, yen, or euro was backed by a real, physical piece of gold in a vault. That’s the gold standard. In this system, if the U.S. wanted to buy more goods from other countries than it was selling, it would have to pay in gold. That means gold would be flowing out of the U.S. and into the hands of its trading partners. As the U.S. gold reserves dwindled, the amount of dollars in circulation would shrink, making dollars more valuable. At the same time, the countries receiving all that gold would see their money supply grow, making their currencies less valuable.” – MN Gordon

From “Retirement Dream” to Nightmare – Here’s How to Avoid the Trap – “Nearly 1 in 5 retirees say their golden years feel more like a nightmare.

THE BIG PICTURE

What happens when the masses become collapse aware? – “Mass delusion and the comfort of denial. Eventually, the storm hits the shore and can no longer be dismissed as theoretical. When collapse becomes undeniable, how do people behave? Disaster researchers find most don’t panic or turn violent.” – Sarah Connor

GAIN OF FICTION – “With the bandying around of the word “PSY-OP” on most Troofers lips these days, funnily enough, seemingly a more important and substantial talking point than any actual scientific evidence; I want to address this one area of Virology which, to me, IS quite clearly a Psychological Operation: The notion that they can take non-existent “Viruses”, play around with their non existent “Genetics” and make something Super Duper more scary and lethal than its non-lethal, non-existent starting point.” – Jamie Andrews  – INTERESTING TAKE FROM JAMIE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hoax Bioweapons for Beginners: the Primer on Pandemic Racketeering – “I would like to start with a quote by a popular liar, Jeffrey Sachs – “Governments lie all the time but superpowers make super lies.” Sachs is currently making media circles in the “freedom-adjacent” space. However, his job as a Director of a Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University entails promoting globalist fairy tales of “viral pandemics” and “human-induced climate change” for mass murder and enslavement of ordinary people. This entails lying 24/7/365, which is what he is doing while pretending to be a critic of “government super-lies”. That aside, both “natural” and “lab leak” narratives are LIES. Two years ago I predicted that the lab leak narrative will be eventually rolled out as the zoonosis lie will become unsupportable:” – Sasha Latypova

Canada Advances Plan to ‘Vaccinate’ Public with Bill Gates-Funded Covid mRNA Aerosols – Frank Bergman

University of Nebraska Asks Where The Bird Flu Went – “Some of us are still wondering why, all of a sudden, bird flu has dropped from headlines and is no longer infecting human beings in the United States. Now, the University of Nebraska has asked the same question and given us all an answer. The simple answer given was: Cases have gone down, but experts warn that it hasn’t disappeared.” – Mac Slavo  – PERHAPS THEY’LL QUIT CULLING THE FOOD SUPPLY FOR A WHILE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

‘This is serious’: Starmer orders move towards digital ID system – “The prime minister is seriously considering introducing a universal digital ID system as a way of tackling illegal immigration and improving the delivery of public services. Cabinet ministers say Keir Starmer has become increasingly convinced of the need to harness the power of technology to drive Whitehall efficiency, bear down on fraud and transform the relationship between citizens and the state.” – Rachel Sylvester

NEWS

Suspicious Minds – “The RussiaGate psychodrama is about an agreement based on lies. It started with Hillary Clinton’s desperate ploy to save her foundering 2016 election campaign. Her emails somehow got sent to Wikileaks, a radical news org dedicated to revealing government secrets, implicating misconduct. It was easy to declare the Russians did it, by hacking — when it was much more likely, in fact, proven by a forensic audit, that a Clinton campaign insider downloaded the info on a thumb drive, perhaps one Seth Rich, found murdered on a DC sidewalk soon thereafter. Every lie after that met the kind of skepticism among the public that generates heat, controversy, scandal, and fire.” – James Howard Kunstler

The Nixon Strategy – “There’s a story – it may be true – that Nixon (back when he was president) thought it would be a fine idea to make the North Vietnamese and the nuclear-armed Soviets who backed them believe he was irrational and volatile enough to push the button, so as to bluff them into kowtowing. History repeats because human nature never changes. Our Nixon seems to also believe it’s a fine idea to convey to the Russians that he just might push the button. Only this time, the Russians might just do it first.” – Eric Peters

Gold Signals War (VIDEO) with Martin Armstrong – “Honestly, this is turning into a grade school fight. I don’t know what Trump expects. He’s hurling insult after insult, and there is no possibility of peace anymore. It’s one thing to do tariffs and sanctions against Russia. Now, he is saying we are going to put sanctions on anybody that even deals with Russia. This is economic war. It’s as simple as that. . .. We don’t even have anyone to negotiate on behalf of the West. It’s dead, completely dead.” – Greg Hunter

Cold War 2.0 Heats Up – “Last week the nuclear rhetoric between the US and Russia made some of us feel like we were transported back to 1962. Back then, Soviet moves to place nuclear-capable missiles 90 miles off our coast in Cuba led to the greatest crisis of the Cold War. Fast forward more than 60 years later and we have a US president, Donald Trump, who last week stated that he had “ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions,” meaning nearer to Russia. Had Russia attacked the US or an ally? Threatened to do so? No. The supposed re-positioning of US strategic military assets was in response to a sharp series of posts made by former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev on social media that irritated President Trump.” – Ron Paul

What Does It Mean to Be a Free Nation? – “What Westerners have learned during the interregnum between the Cold War’s conclusion and the emerging censorship State being constructed today is that Western governments were never faithful stewards of the public’s natural liberties. They told us that they were for free speech and against Soviet-style oppression, but they didn’t mean real free speech. They meant speech relatively aligned with the governments’ own interests.” – J.B. Shurk

Sexy Jeans, Culture Wars and Profits — The Sydney Sweeney Effect – “Woke is dead as a doornail with one sexy jeans ad. Critics accused the spot of echoing eugenic or white supremacist rhetoric because Sweeney is blonde, blue-eyed, and framed as genetically “blue.” Some even labeled it “Nazi propaganda.” Yet the real shock was how the backlash backfired.” – Brian C. Joondeph

Lizzo Weighs in on Sydney Sweeney Ad with Jeans Image, Gets Dragged by Followers – “Lizzo drew backlash this week after she appeared to mock American Eagle’s viral Sydney Sweeney campaign, posting an AI-generated image of herself in full denim alongside the caption: “My jeans are black.” Commenters flooded Lizzo’s Instagram post calling the image divisive and unnecessary:” – Trent Walker

Trump says Epstein ‘stole’ Virginia Giuffre from his spa (VIDEO) – Washington Post  – MAKE SURE YOU READ THE COMMENTS ON THIS ONE!!!

Western countries’ pledge to recognize Palestinian state may help negotiations, but some say it’s too late – “Some say that sanctions against Israel are more critical now in the face of starvation in Gaza Plans announced by France, the United Kingdom and Canada to recognize a Palestinian state won’t bring one about anytime soon, though they may further isolate Israel and strengthen the Palestinians’ negotiating position over the long term. The problem for the Palestinians is that there may not be a long term.” – The Associated Press

The Folly of NATO’s Swamp Line of Defense – “As tensions escalate between NATO and the Russian Federation, Western planners have begun promoting an improbable defense doctrine—one that leans not on steel or missiles, but on wetlands.” – Phil Butler

Russian oil red lines: The EU and US are about to push India too far – “As the West accuses New Delhi of “supporting Russia’s war” by importing its crude, the nation of 1.4 billion people defines its red lines” – Manish Vaid

A further U.S. attack on Iran would be pointless kabuki – “Escalation with Russia is clearly on the cards (in one form or another), but Trump has also threatened to attack Iran’s nuclear sites – again.” – Alastair Crooke

Dutch Intel Flags Israel As ‘State Threat – “In a remarkable development, Amsterdam’s National Coordinator for Security and Counter-Terrorism (NCTV) has designated the Zionist entity a “state threat”. The agency’s annual assessment of “threat actors” for 2025 takes damning aim at malign “attempts to influence Dutch politics and society” by the Israeli government and its local lobbying apparatus.” – Kit Klarenberg

THE BIG PICTURE

Blackrockistan – “A question that is never asked in official circles, or even much in unofficial ones, is why Western leaders seem so desperate for war?  Every European “leader” knows he is an actor hired to play a role, so they play the role. Blackrock invested billions in Ukraine prior to the war, because it believed Ukraine would fall into the Western orbit, which would mean Blackrock would control trillions in natural resources. Now that the war has turned against the West, the rhetoric has become shriller for political reasons, but also as a way to sell arms. Blackrock and other massive private asset holders have large stakes in companies like Raytheon, Lockheed, Rheinmetall and many other arms makers. There is another element to this. The Western oligarchy is based on the assumption that the United States is the global bank and the global mint.” – The Z Man

They Built it . . . and No One Comes – “In my area there is a charger bank of eight “fast” charger kiosks near an Earth Fare supermarket. I pass it every day and never have seen more than one device charging there and nine out of ten times, none. The county – I assume – recently removed the original charger kiosks that had been standing there for a couple of years and replaced them with new ones. Why I have no idea – as almost no one ever seemed to be using the ones that had been there. Well, they build these EV “fast” charger kiosks and almost no one ever comes. And then they build them again. They being, of course, those who have unlimited access to your money. In other words, the government. This is exactly why they keep building what they want. As opposed to what the people who worked to earn the money that was taken from them wanted. That being to keep their money and decide for themselves how it will be spent and on whatever they want. The government’s wants come first because the government has created a legal monopoly on the use of coercion for itself. ” – Erik Peters

President Autopen and the Crime of Forgery – “Forgery is a crime we don’t hear much about anymore since few people write checks and instead rely on electronic payment methods. It can take many forms, such as signing a check or document in someone else’s name without their permission or knowledge. Forgery can be a state or federal crime depending on the circumstances. This system is ripe for forgery depending on how the autopen is utilized. An autopen is not inherently bad. President Trump uses the autopen “only for very unimportant papers,” like signing letters in response to the many letters he receives. President Obama used the autopen on one occasion, “when he signed an extension of the Patriot Act. Obama was in France on official business and, with time running out before the law expired, he authorized the use of the autopen to sign it into law.” Those are key words, “unimportant papers” and “authorized.”” – Brian C. Joondeph

Half of Americans Questioning COVID Vax – Martin Armstrong

The Faux Science of Outlawing Fossil Fuels – “The recent Nature article, “Carbon Majors and the Scientific Case for Climate Liability,” tries to further the alarmists’ dream of pinning alleged harms of “extreme” weather on the world’s largest producers of fossil fuels. The Nature article uses the words “science” and “scientific” 44 times, but the writers disregard the scientific method, a centuries-old system of inquiry that relies on testing by empirical observation. Repeated are fallacies of popular climate research such as trusting computer models that have failed validation by real-world data.” – Dr. Bruce Everett and Gordon Tomb

Dire Global Economy, Dangerous Wars & Demonic AI (VIDEO) with Steve Quayle – Greg Hunter

Crispin Miller, will you and your pal, Robert F. Rockefeller, Jr. be taking the new Moderna mRNA shots?

Of What Use Are The Rules? – “We are finding out that the world built in the shadow of World War II doesn’t work. What’s termed the international rules-based order is a failure. As Cormac McCarthy wrote in No Country for Old Men, “if the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?” The idea that the international community could be ordered based on a set of rules and creating international organizations to monitor compliance with those rules is absurd.” – T.L. Davis

Is Trump Doing Head-Fakes—Or What the Hell? – “Remember back in 2022 when Putin was a crazy thug? Well, we’re back there. Trump, referring to Putin’s massive strikes across Ukraine, is saying that he doesn’t know what happened to Putin—but he’s gone crazy. Zelensky attacked Russia with 1100 drones over three days, including Moscow’s airport and an assassination attempt on Putin’s helicopter. Putin retaliated. Trump calls Putin insane for needlessly targeting civilians. It may come as a sunrise, but Trump gets an intelligence briefing once a week—unlike prior presidents who got it each morning. Meanwhile, Zelensky targets anything/ everything—just to keep the chaos going. And, just weeks ago Trump was slaughtering sheepherders in Yemen, and is now directly complicit in starving 2 million Palestinians. Ukraine, Palestine, and Iran are now Trump’s wars because he could stop them at will. Is there a strategy here—or is he making it up as he goes?” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com  – AND AS WE ALL KNOW, ZELENSKY JUST DID A DRONE STRIKE A FEW DAYS AGO IN RUSSIA AND TRUMP HAS VIRTUALLY SAID JACK-SHIT ABOUT IT!!!

A Day of Reversals and Flip-Flops All over the World – “Housing market flips and prices flop; Ukraine flips war odds on Putin; inflation reverses; Trump flips and flops all over tariffs; Trump allegedly flip-flops on Iran nuclear deal.” – David Haggith

Graham and Blumenthal: Congressional Authority in Ukraine – “On June 2, Kyiv has a debt payment due to hedge fund investors in the amount of $665 Million. Zelenskky has declared Ukraine will not make the payment and no restructuring agreement has been made. Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal decided that they would fly to Kyiv to celebrate the passage thru the house of a New Great Bill that will give Ukraine another $60 Billion of US Taxpayer funds. The One Big Beautiful Bill is now in the senate – wherein no one will read it and simply vote according to their scripted Handlers.” -Helena Glass

Trump Won’t Walk Away from Ukraine War – “One of the mysteries of the Ukraine endgame is that President Donald Trump did not issue an executive order on January 20 withdrawing all support for Ukraine. That would have been the easiest way to end the war. The conditions were propitious — Candidate Trump didn’t mince words that it was a hopeless war that cost the US dearly in treasure; he thought poorly of President Volodymyr Zelensky as a shameless free rider; he saw the war as impeding his foreign-policy priority of the US’ transition to a multipolar world order; and, he felt no compulsion to inherit ‘Biden’s war’. ” – M. K Bhadrakumar  – AS I HAVE STATED REPEATEDLY, WHAT HAPPENED TO ENDING THE WAR ON DAY ONE!!!!

Former CIA analyst: ‘100 percent sure’ CIA had some involvement in massive Ukrainian drone strike on Russian airfields – “Ex-CIA analyst Larry Johnson says Ukraine could not have pulled this off on its own and that it bears the fingerprints of a CIA and/or British MI6 operation.” – Leo Hohmann

Terror Attack in Boulder, CO Highlights Need for Self-Defense – “Pretty much since the shooting at a theater in Aurora, Colorado, the state has gone deeper and deeper down the anti-gun rabbit hole. In fact, they just passed new measures this year that make them one of the most anti-gun states in the nation. These laws are always premised on the idea that gun control makes people safer. If you’re someone likely to be targeted, get a gun. Learn how to use it. Carry it with you everywhere you lawfully can. I won’t tell you to carry it places where you can’t do so lawfully, but I will say that gun-free zones are often favored targets of these kinds of maniacs, and it’s better to be tried by 12 than carried by six. This isn’t the world we want to live in, but this is the world we have.” – Tom Knighton

Israeli Mossad named as funder of Gaza Humanitarian Foundation – “Israel’s scheme to commandeer aid distribution in Gaza ended in chaos on May 27, with Israeli soldiers reportedly opening fire on stampeding crowds of hungry Palestinians after just 8000 boxes of rations were handed out by an opaque organization calling itself the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). Founded this February in Switzerland under a cloud of mystery, GHF serves as an umbrella for a network of private mercenary firms which Israel is using to supplant the role of the United Nations in feeding Palestinians after bringing them to the brink of starvation. The group has no humanitarian record and operates without oversight, while Israel continues to block UNRWA and WFP from providing real aid.” – Max Blumenthal and Wyatt Reed  – HOW EVIL IS THAT, SET UP YOUR OWN FOOD DISTRIBUTION AFTER STARVING EVERYBODY, DENY REAL AID EFFORTS AND THEN START SHOOTING THE PEOPLE COMING FOR FOOD.

How to Map Your Region For Food Before Disaster Strikes – “When the shelves go empty and the streets turn dangerous, your survival won’t depend on stockpiles alone—it’ll hinge on how well you’ve mapped your region for food. Most preppers focus on hoarding, but real security comes from knowing where to find food when supplies run dry. Whether you’re navigating urban ruins or foraging in the wild, a well-planned food map means the difference between starvation and sustainability.” – Bob Rodgers

Depending on the time of year that this could happen, simply being out of the cabin could mean danger and death.” – Rowan O’Malley

A scary new “Covid” variant? What year is this? – “There’s a new Covid variant “surging through” Asia, according to this headline. It has already spread to the US and Europe as well, according to this article. I’m guessing the word “surging” was in the circulated memo, because it appears in almost every article about this. All of which makes me ask…What year is this? ” – Kit Knightly

The Big Mistake They Made – “CARB is a state-level bureaucracy that operates effectively as a national one by emitting regulations for California that are followed by the vehicle manufacturers because so many other states have aped CARB’s regulatory emissions that they are effectively obliged to manufacture only “California compliant” vehicles. CARB began emitting regulations back in the ’70s. The regs required additional hardware be added to new vehicles in order for them to be legal to sell in the state. GM’s mistake – the industry’s mistake – was to play along to begin with. That never works out – except to the benefit of your enemy. Arguably, what the vehicle manufacturers ought to have done – back in the ’70s – was to tell California its additionally onerous emissions regulations – which exceeded the federal EPA’s requirements – rendered it unfeasible for them to sell new vehicles in the state of California. This would very quickly have imparted pressure on California’s politicians to yank CARB’s chain because millions of Californians wanting to be able to buy a new car would have demanded it.” – Eric Peters  – THESE “BS” REGULATIONS, MADE VEHICLES MORE EXPENSIVE FOR EVERYONE, NO MATTER WHAT STATE!!!

Crypto-Fascism, Inc. – “I miss the old-school neo-Nazis. You know, the skinheads with the swastika tattoos and the big Nazi flags on the walls of their living rooms. The Aryan Brotherhood-type neo-Nazis. You don’t get neo-Nazis like that anymore. These days, it’s all about the crypto-fascism. Are you not familiar with crypto-fascism? All right, let me bring you up to speed. Crypto-fascists are a particularly pernicious and pussified species of neo-Nazi. Unlike the old-school neo-Nazis, who at least had the courtesy to go around hollering Nazi slogans and heiling Hitler in public so that everyone knew that they were neo-Nazis, crypto-fascists are sneaky little cowards who pretend they aren’t neo-Nazis and hide behind pseudonyms and coded rhetoric. Their natural habitat is the Internet, but they can adapt to almost any environment, creepy little chameleon-like cravens that they are.” – CJ Hopkins

The Third World Is Forever Chasing The White Man – “When white people in Africa relocate to Australia, or Canada, or the US or Europe, the Africans try to follow. Instead of building up their own communities and nations they use and then eventually tear down the infrastructure that whites already built. They never replace it with anything else. Then they immigrate overseas to where the white people are because their own nations are in disarray. Eventually, they start tearing down those countries. Leftists will call this a “racist” argument rooted in “white supremacy”, but this is a black South African making the point. It’s not racist, it’s just an observation of concrete fact.” – Brandon Smith

Keepin’ It Real – “The first four months of the Trump restoration have exceeded everyone’s expectations for no other reason than it has shifted the conversation. The bad guys are still battling everything in the courts and Congress, but unlike the first time, Trump seems to have a plan, and he has been aggressive in executing it. As a result, he has been setting the agenda rather than the bad guys. The one place where he is failing is with Ukraine, where it looks like he has painted himself into a corner. The problem is that the facts on the ground have not changed, so there is no deal Trump can make with the Russians to end the war. Zelensky will never do any peace deal as that means the end of him. The nationalists in Ukraine will never accept a deal, which is why Zelensky cannot do a deal. The Europeans seem convinced that peace in Ukraine means the withdraw of America from Europe, so they are fighting like hell to keep the war going, even as it harms their positions. Now it seems clear that the Russians have understood from the start that Trump was never willing to break with the Europeans or take on the crazies in Washington who created the Ukraine mess.” – The Z Man  – ENDING THE WAR IN UKRAINE ON DAY ONE KIND OF WENT OUT THE WINDOW!!!

Is Putin Smart or Just Fooling Himself? – “Putin Should Think Twice About Peace. Is Vladimir Putin crazy like a fox, or merely crazy?” – Peter Nayland Kust

Maga and Mega Turns Mugger – Following Drone Attack on Putin on May 20, Putin Hit Back at Kiev, and Trump Declared “I Don’t Like It at All” – “Either President Donald Trump cannot comprehend the sequence of cause and effect. Or he cannot control his own military and intelligence operations in the war against Russia. Or Trump thinks he can deceive President Vladimir Putin, authorize an attack on him personally, and later, when the attack failed, and Putin retaliated with a counter-attack on Kiev, Trump is pretending “I don’t know what the hell happened to Putin…he’s sending rockets into Kiev and other cities and killing people, and I don’t like it at all.” Trump then threatened Putin directly. “We’ll see what we’re going to do.” Follow the sequence and decide what’s cause, what’s effect.” – John Helmer

When They Say “Peace And Safety”… – “A few hours ago, President Trump posted a very alarming message about Russian President Vladimir Putin on his Truth Social account…What Vladimir Putin doesn’t realize is that if it weren’t for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia, and I mean REALLY BAD. He’s playing with fire! What “REALLY BAD” things is Trump talking about? I really hope that he will clarify what he meant by that. ” – Michael Snyder

Trump’s Military Parade – “When I think of celebratory military parades with lots of heavy weaponry and the like, images of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union come to mind. Authoritarian regimes, strongly militaristic, led by dictators. The naked celebration of military strength in Trump’s proposed parade is yet another example of American militarism on steroids. It marks the further erosion of democracy in America and a coarsening of the human spirit in America.” – Bill Astore

Governments in Bondage – “Bond vigilantes have more power than presidents and other central planners, and they are no longer shy about using it to restrain governments.” – David Haggith

U.S. Battery Production Set To Decline 75% Under Trump’s ‘Big Bill’ – “Trump’s big beautiful bill could slash U.S. battery production by ~75% by 2030 to 250 GWh from the previously projected 1,050 gigawatt-hours, and EV sales by 40%. The bill would eliminate 130,000 potential jobs in the EV sector by 2030. Red and purple states including Texas, Michigan, Nevada, Tennessee, Kentucky and Georgia, would be the most adversely impacted if the bill were to become law.” – Alex Kiman

What Is the Rationale Behind Current US Tariff Policy? – “It seems that, for President Donald Trump, the key for economic growth is demand for goods and services. According to this view, an increase in exports and a reduction in imports (i.e., the improvement in the trade balance) strengthens overall demand for domestically-produced goods and services. As a result, this strengthens economic growth in terms of the gross domestic product (GDP). Therefore, the rationale follows that the imposition of tariffs that curtails imports will greatly benefit the US economy. We must also remember that it is not the “US” that imports and/or exports goods and services, but individuals who live in the US. For example, it is not the “US” that exports wheat, but a particular farmer or a group of farmers who want to sell at agreed-upon prices to willing buyers in another country. They are engaged in the exports of wheat because they expect to profit. Likewise, it is not the “US” that imports Chinese electrical appliances, but individuals from the US. They import these appliances because they want them. ” – Frank Shostak

Record Foreign Demand For Blowout 5Y Treasury Auction – “What a difference a month makes. A little over thirty days after one ugly coupon auction after another, when the market was panicking that the US had “lost its reserve status” and any Treasury auction could well be the last (it turns out that “privilege” belonged to Japan, where last week we almost saw the last ever 20Y auction), demand for US paper is once again off the charts… and we aren’t even talking about yesterday’s stellar 2Y auction. Moments ago Bessent’s Treasury sold $70BN in 5 Year paper which saw the highest foreign demand in history!” – Tyler Durden

The Multi-Trillion Dollar Question Investors Need to Answer – “Enjoy the rally and blow off top in stocks, because as we keep warning, the Everything Bubble could very well blow up sometime in 2026.” – Graham Summers, MBA

Warren Buffett’s Gold Blind Spot – “The Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffett, recently announced he will be stepping down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway. He built a reputation as one of the sharpest minds in investing. Buffett’s folksy wisdom and knack for picking winners made him a household name. But when it comes to gold, Buffett maintains a stubborn bias against investing and has missed an absolutely huge move over the past 25 years.” – Clint Siegner

THE BIG PICTURE

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

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

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

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

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

NEWS

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

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

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

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

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

Almost any vehicle within five kilometres of the front is as good as finished. Anything moving out to ten kilometres is in danger. Drone strikes at 15 or 20 km are not that unusual.” – Kit Klarenberg

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

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!!!

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

I Can’t Believe It’s Not Food! – “Trying to survive inside the empire of psychopathic killers: Part I—The “Food” Living in Europe for seventeen of the past twenty years and making the transatlantic journey west, I saw the culinary cultural contrasts up close, between healthy and fit people who value real food as part of daily life, and the ultra-processed gluttony on offer with fake foods inside the Empire of Elastic Waistbands. There are sugar or junk food taxes in countries like France, Hungary, Denmark, and Norway, which have had a tax on junk food since 1922. Instead of celebrating junk food as normal diet staples that can be purchased with government subsidies like food stamps, there’s a flavor of social disdain that marks obese gluttons.” – The Good Citizen

The Bodies Are Not Stacking Up… Again – “I think “our side” – generally speaking – ought to be careful not to fall into the trap the other side did, of buying into hysteria. Whatever the jabs did, they have not caused the predicted mass deaths. Just the same as “COVID” didn’t – notwithstanding the endless barrage of “coverage” of “the cases! the cases”! – if anyone remembers. Well, here we go again. Only now – five years later – it is “our side” that is falling into the same species of hysteria notwithstanding the absence of any evidence that people who’ve been “vaccinated” are dying en masse. You may remember predictions supposedly made by something called the Deagle Report that by 2025 something like half or even two-thirds of the population of the United States would be dead. Well, were approaching halfway through 2025 and this has not happened. Or even close.” – Eric Peters – SOME GOOD POINTS FROM ERIC. AND I ADMIT I HAVE BEEN GUILTY OF THIS.

The Long Game of Tony Blair: From Climate Optimism to Technocratic Control. – “In the final weeks of his time as UK Prime Minister in 2007, Tony Blair made an oddly casual but revealing remark about the climate crisis. “Don’t worry about the climate — technology will fix it.” Eighteen years later, we now know what he meant. On April 29, 2025, the Tony Blair Institute published a new climate strategy paper titled The Climate Paradox: Why We Need to Reset Action on Climate Change. At first glance, it appears to be a critique of current Net Zero policies — admitting they’re economically toxic, politically unpopular, and practically unworkable. But on closer reading, it reveals something much more significant: a polished blueprint for a global technocratic control system, built in the name of solving climate change through data, automation, and artificial intelligence.” – David Fleming

What’s Normal, Exactly? – “When a claque of deep state shills such as Norm Eisen, Chuck Schumer, Bill Kristol, David Brooks, and Larry Summers holler about Mr. Trump’s attempt to reform a depraved political culture as “an assault on norms,” are you not prompted to wonder what, exactly, those norms might be? Looks like they are describing a colossal matrix of racketeering operations in concert with an epic program of crypto-Marxist mind-fuckery, mountains of money purloined under color-of-law, swindles galore of practically every public enterprise, the capital city of a so-called republic fogged in gaslight to conceal a Satyricon of pedophilia, sodomy, and sado-masochism in every closet, cabinet, and pigeon-hole of the political class. So, along comes Mr. Trump for the second round, with a supernaturally able clean-up crew this time, and the monsters feeding off that depraved normality commence to shriek in mortal panic as the scaffold of their crimes gets methodically disassembled and secrets are revealed.” – James Howard Kunstler

War Between The US And Canada? Yes, It’s Now A Real Possibility – “A war between Canada and the US opening up a portal to hell might be a bit of a stretch, but recent events lead me to believe that there are very real ingredients coming together that could trigger an active conflict with our neighbors to the north. Furthermore, these factors do NOT necessarily revolve around the trade war; the trade war is secondary. There is something explosive going on under the surface of US/Canada relations and it could very well end with a US invasion to the north.” – Brandon Smith

After 100 Days Where Are We? – Paul Craig Roberts

IMF and World Bank: Crony Covid Crackdown Enablers – “Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent complained last week that the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund are suffering from “mission creep.” But Bessent announced that Trump will be “doubling down” on supporting the largest foreign aid gushers on earth. “Far from stepping back, ‘America First’ seeks to expand U.S. leadership in international institutions like the I.M.F. and World Bank,” Bessent declared. The IMF and World Bank have helped turn many foreign nations into kleptocracies – governments of thieves. Most importantly, neither the IMF nor the World Bank has any qualms about bankrolling tyranny.” – James Bovard

And the Emmy for Election Cheating Goes to… – “Anybody but them…Last fall’s “60 Minutes” interview of then-candidate Kamala Harris… now the subject of a $20 billion lawsuit by President Donald Trump… has been nominated for an Emmy Award for outstanding edited interview. In his lawsuit, Trump charges that the interview was deceitfully edited to make Harris look smarter than she is. And to think that “60 Minutes” was once a paragon of journalistic integrity… We are not talking about editing out “ums” and “ahs” here, but the nefarious replacement of whole interview answers with better ones. That kind of malicious editing… In other words, a fake interview. An Emmy for fake news?” – Jim McCraigh

National Endowment for Democracy Is Now Erasing Disclosure Data – “The overt replacement for the CIA’s foreign political action funding has transitioned back to covert funding, using ‘duty of care’ as a rationale.” – Lee Fang and Jack Poulson

TRUMP Art of The Deal: Ukraine Has No Rare Earth Minerals – “The watered down US/Ukraine Deal has created a new US colony in Europe. Greenland fell by the wayside and would have been a far cleaner and likely more valuable deal than Ukraine. Unfortunately, the only difference between Ukraine in 2014 and Ukraine in 2025 – is who is running the show. In 2014 – it was Soros et al. In 2025 it is Trump et al. Same deal, different names stamped on the graves. The most significant aspect being the rare earth minerals that may – or may not even exist. These minerals are critical in the manufacture of – everything including; all weapons and all tech. The US has little, China has most, and time was NOT in Trump’s favor. Sitting perilously over the new $1 trillion defense budget, these minerals are essential in order to re-load a viable military inventory in the event we want to take out The World … Lesson Learned: Civilizations didn’t die off because of climate change, they died off at the hands of the biggest marauders. He with the biggest stick – WINS.” – Helena Glass

U.S. Elites Learned Much from the Vietnam Defeat – “To them, the right lessons; to everyone else, the wrong ones” – Bill Astore

Lefty policies come with additional costs – “When we’re discussing some leftist policy, we routinely discuss the cost. This is what the government will pay for whatever it is they want to do. Or save, if that’s remotely relevant. Yet there are second- and third-order costs that are routinely missed, if not outright unknowable.” – Tom Knighton

And so…. The opinion pieces begin.(VIDEO) – “Broadcaster claims Mark Carney did ‘sneaky underhanded’ things to get in office” – Sylvia Shawcross

Canadian Liberals Deploy Trump Derangement Syndrome to Retain Federal Power – “If Canada Had Its own National Security Apparatus, Not NATO, We Would be in a Good Position Diplomatically Play to Play off China Against the United States for Canadian National Advantage. As the election unfolded it became increasingly clear that Mark Carney is carrying on the enlarged legacy of Justin Trudeau as a full-fledged agent of the Chinese Communist Party led by Xi Jinping. Carney’s many-faceted personal and institutional involvements with the government of China is startling in its magnitude especially for those who don’t know much about the extent of China’s global influence. Right now Canada is betwixt and between the mounting cross-fire emanating from both China and the United States now led by US President, Donald Trump. Carney’s main tactic in taking over Canada’s top political role was to make himself the high priest of Trump derangement syndrome as the core principle of re-emergent Canadian nationalism.” – Anthony James Hall

German Spy Agency Formally Classifies AfD Party As “Right-Wing Extremist”, Same Week As They Top Polls – “Probably just a coincidence… Just days after Germany’s ‘Alternative fur Deutschland’ (AfD) party topped the polls…Germany’s domestic intelligence agency has formally classified the party as a right-wing extremist movement, granting authorities enhanced powers to monitor the party as a potential threat to democracy, due to the “extremist character of the entire party.” … a “severe blow to German democracy”” – Tyler Durden

How’s this headline for you today. This morning Russia’s war in Ukraine not going to end anytime soon. Let that sink in. The day after this deal was signed. Now I’m going to break this down for you so you can understand why this is the scam of the century and America is over ” – Gregory Mannarino  – ANOTHER GOOD LISTEN FROM GREG ON THE BIG PICTURE AS WELL!!!

The Dollar Falters as Gold Remains Stable – Peter Schiff

Ok, This is Starting to Get Serious – “OK, now things are starting to get serious. As I’ve noted over the past week, while the Fed twiddles its thumbs and frets about the potentially inflationary impact of tariffs, the real economy is rolling over. The American consumer accounts for 60%-70% of U.S. GDP. The consumer, not the Fed, is what drives the economy. And all signs are beginning to point towards the consumer being “tapped out.” In the last two weeks, management teams at Southwest Airlines, PepsiCo, Chipotle, and even Walmart have warned that consumers are cutting back on spending. It’s one thing to see one sector of the economy issue a warning. But when you’ve got multiple sectors (airlines, restaurants, consumer discretionary, and retail), all doing this at the same time, you know it’s getting serious. Well, we can now add McDonalds, the largest fast-food restaurant in the world, to the list of companies issuing major warnings.” – Graham Summers, MBA

Mayday markdowns – “Gold consolidates its rise from mid-December. The May Day holiday in China and with much of Europe shut as well, was an opportunity for the Comex shorts to punish the longs. This morning marks the ninth trading session since gold briefly hit $3500. And yesterday saw a dramatic markdown” – Alasdair Macleod

Oh Look, Jobs! – “Hmm…. the BLS shouteth forth… Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 177,000 in April, and the unemployment rate was unchanged at 4.2 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Employment continued to trend up in health care, transportation and warehousing, financial activities, and social assistance. Federal government employment declined. DOGE actually managed to cut a few people? Go figure. Oh wait…. it was only 9,000. So much for trumpeting a “big change” — NOT. Of course we must put more than 50,000 into the “health care” sector despite the civilian labor force increasing just 174,000 over the same month. If you believe that we are adding one doctor or nurse for every three and a half people, approximately whatever you’re smoking is definitely illegal — yes even in Michigan, Illinois and California.” – Karl Denninger

The garden outside is growing a healthy polyculture of vegetables, and you’ve got plenty of stuff to trade. On paper, this sounds good, if not great! Yet there are always going to be risks to your safety and sustainability. Both from the outside and from the potential mistakes you can make along the way.” – Eric Beuning

THE BIG PICTURE

The American Public Will Have To Step In To Eliminate The Parasitic Bureaucracy – “The reasons why conservatives fight so adamantly for smaller government have never been more obvious than they are today. Of course, this is unsustainable. The system will completely collapse well before another decade ends; under the weight of rising interest rates or under the weight of exponential inflation. We are already seeing the results of the spending bonanza through ongoing stagflation. Prices on most goods are 30% higher (or more) in the past 5 years. Home prices and rent costs are up at least 50% on average. Americans are being financially suffocated.” – Brandon Smith

33 Degrees of Tyrannical Fraud – “The number 33 – it’s globalist for psy-op, mate! On April 27, 2018, Bill Gates – who has zero health or medical qualifications – gave a lecture to the Massachusetts Medical Society on epidemic preparedness. Kermit the Human claimed an “animated simulation” by the Institute for Disease Modeling showed “if a highly contagious and lethal airborne pathogen – like the 1918 flu – were to occur today… Nearly 33 million people worldwide would die in just six months.” He repeated this claim, not just at his website, but in a 2018 New England Journal of Medicine article. ” – Anthony Colpo

Is AIPAC Getting What They Want in DC? – “or why is the Lobby so cranky! Pro-Israel lobbies and organizations got what they paid for in 2024. Hundreds of millions of dollars of pro-Zionist donations to the Trump campaign and Trump-aligned PACs helped elect Trump, and every important appointment, and some less important ones are vocal Israel-firsters. Pre-existing massive military and other aid from the US taxpayer to Israel has been expanded under Trump. Avid Zionists lead the State Department, the Pentagon, and direct national intelligence. Zionist Steve Witkoff serves as the President’s envoy and chief diplomat in the two major wars the US has been supporting for years, wars Trump wants to resolve in the first half of his last term. Why, it should be almost perfect, from an AIPAC point of view: a completely controlled executive branch, and a 99% controlled US Congress! The only Republican member of Congress without an AIPAC handler is Kentucky’s Thomas Massie, and both parties have seen its Israel-questioning members successfully primaried or otherwise replaced.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

Oh, don’t pretend you don’t know what lawfare is – “The term “lawfare” is, basically, using the legal system to go after your enemies. We all saw how they did that with President Trump while he was out of office. They wanted to destroy him so that he couldn’t get back into office, which we can see worked brilliantly, and to overall punish him for not playing to their tune That includes prosecuting him for fraud over a loan he got that he paid back in full, because they say he overvalued his assets. Again, he paid it back, meaning he didn’t actually make any money directly from this supposed fraud, but that’s what they went after him for. Among other things. We all know what lawfare is. More importantly, we know what it isn’t. It’s not punishing people for very clear crimes, such as the destruction of private property through violent crimes like arson and shooting up dealerships. Yet one Democrat wants you to think that it is.” – Tom Knighton

Mark Carney is a mirage – “Plagiarism accusations only the latest evidence he’s been oversold ” – National Post View

A Ghoul in a Suit with the Ethics of An Alley Cat – “Carnage wherever he goes. Doesn’t he look half-dead? Like a shroud covers his saggy emaciated face and spindly body. Indicative of lifelessness of his ideas. NOT his actual ideas because what he is currently selling are the ideas he stole from Canada’s Conservative Party. Because above everything Liberal Party looting must continue. And with Net Zero and all that elite clap trap there will be another three generations of Canadians to ruin, to steal from, to harvest their life’s energy to feed the Party’s enormous ego and the plush lifestyles in the posh suburbs of Canada.” – Elizabeth Nickson

Elbow Markcaroney – “What is it with these people charged with creating campaign slogans? They obviously reached the point of drunken desperation late into the wee hours to have come up with this latest one for Canada’s Mark Carney. I cringe to tell you but it is “Elbows up.” They had to have been completely past the point of rational to think that people would catch on to sticking their elbows up in the air as some sort of rallying gesture. Good heavens! They look like deranged ducks in a tizzy. As a Canadian I do feel like I have to apologize to the world for subjecting anyone to witnessing such cringeworthy behaviours. We didn’t get to vote on that one. Well… on a lot of things, but that is beside the point.” – Sylvia Shawcross

NED, whose funding was reinstated by Rubio, will instigate another Revolution. And Ukraine will simply be back to 2014 – minus half the citizens. WHY? Because It’s status as the Bread Basket of all the organ harvesting and trafficking, the child trafficking and harvesting, all the drugs shipped on ‘grain’ trains, needs to resume for the Mafia Cartel to recoup its losses.

Keep in mind, these are the same people that ridiculed the preparedness movement only ten years ago and then accused survivalists of being “hoarders” during the covid lockdowns. Suddenly the EU elites claim to be concerned about the survival pantries of the citizenry and this may be a signal of expanding hostilities between Europe and Russia. The advice given, however, is not useful and one can only conclude that the EU is only trying to make it look like they care should the geopolitical situation go sideways.
