welcome to the lenny and Maria sanchez deep dive podcast show.
We will now discuss the eleven sources provided, presenting key takeaways from each one.
Source 1: Australian government races to destroy evidence of covid vaccine harms - The Expose This article highlights significant concerns regarding the Australian government's alleged efforts to destroy crucial clinical data and biological samples from the QoVAX study. This study was established in May 2022 by three top Queensland universities and led by Professor Janet Davies to track immune responses and identify factors affecting vaccine safety and efficacy in over 10,000 people. However, funding was abruptly cut in June 2023, and participants were informed in March 2025 that all biospecimens would be sterilized and destroyed, with data archived and made inaccessible to researchers. This decision has raised concerns about a potential cover-up, especially as it follows other actions suggesting a desire to obscure the truth about COVID vaccine harms. The data and samples are considered globally important and relevant to ongoing scientific investigations into issues like synthetic DNA contamination in mRNA vaccines, a problem confirmed by multiple prestigious laboratories, including the FDA. QoVAX also offered a rare opportunity to compare real-world outcomes across different vaccine brands and doses, which is deemed essential for informed consent and future vaccine policy. Legal and scientific advocates have issued formal notices demanding a halt to the destruction. Critics argue that the government has an ethical and legal obligation to make these publicly-funded samples and data available for future research. Dr. Phillip Altman, a pharmaceutical industry consultant with over 40 years of experience, states that this move is another example of government concealment. He notes several concerning actions by the Australian Government, including failing to call a Royal Commission into the "disaster surrounding the covid 'vaccines'" despite a pre-election promise, arguing in court that it has no "duty of care" regarding vaccine injuries, failing to properly follow up on over 1,000 reported vaccine-linked deaths, changing how excess deaths are recorded, and quarantining QoVAX health records despite legal notice that they may be evidence in legal action. According to Dr. Altman, the Australian Government has done everything it can to avoid responsibility and bury the truth.
Source 2: Dr. YoungHoon Kim: How the World’s Highest IQ Confirms the Harmony Between Science and Christian Doctrine - LewRockwell Our next source features Dr. YoungHoon Kim, reportedly the person with the world’s highest recorded IQ at 276. He brings an interdisciplinary approach, having studied psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, philosophy, and theology, and holding honorary doctorates in cognitive science, education, and psychology, along with research positions at Cambridge and Yale. Dr. Kim has declared that “Our consciousness continues beyond death, definitely,” a refreshing affirmation in a scientific age that often reduces the mind to mere neurochemical activity. He utilizes quantum physics to support his argument, suggesting that if consciousness is a form of quantum information, it may persist beyond the death of the body, much like data stored in "the cloud". This aligns with the understanding that information is not bound to a single material medium and can persist even if its material substrate is destroyed. His perspective challenges reductionist biology and is seen as a central focus of the Intelligent Design movement. More profoundly, Dr. Kim, in a viral message, openly confessed his faith, stating, “As the world’s highest IQ record holder, I believe that Jesus Christ is God, the way and the truth and the life,” a remarkable public profession given the common association of high intelligence with skepticism. The article notes that his thought aligns with research suggesting materialist accounts of the mind are philosophically inadequate and that recent scientific developments in fields like cosmology and quantum physics point away from the scientific materialist paradigm. Dr. Kim’s analogy of a video game avatar whose player continues to exist even if the avatar disappears conveys a deep theological truth about the soul's survival and the possibility of a future resurrection.
Source 3: For over 200 years neurological damage from vaccines has been noted and documented - The Expose This article uncovers a long history of neurological injuries from vaccination, documented since the smallpox vaccine over two centuries ago, with severe cases reported throughout medical literature. The author, A Midwestern Doctor, asserts that the medical profession has historically concealed these injuries, believing that public vaccination benefits justified hiding information that might lead to vaccine hesitancy. The article highlights how historical injuries, such as spreading paralysis, bear a resemblance to modern "one in a million" vaccine injuries, and how documentation of toxicity was allegedly "erased" to preserve a "safe and effective" narrative. Examples cited include "post-pertussis encephalopathy" observed in children after receiving the DPT vaccine in the 1980s, which many doctors reportedly refused to report. Earlier studies from the 1930s and 1940s also reported children being brain-damaged or dying from DPT vaccines, but these studies were "forgotten". The source discusses how changing diagnostic terminology, like phasing out "mentally retarded" for "intellectual disability," contributed to "diagnostic obfuscation," making it seem as if the rise in autism was due to reclassification rather than environmental toxins like vaccines. It also claims that research into vaccine neurological injuries has been systematically prevented, with placebo-controlled trials deemed unethical and studies showing harms dismissed as "junk science". Furthermore, large databases containing vaccinated and unvaccinated data were allegedly withheld from researchers, and some were even illegally deleted when accessed by RFK Jr.'s team. The article extensively references Sir Graham Wilson's 1966 book, 'The Hazards of Immunisation,' which documented numerous forgotten vaccine disasters including immune suppression, "hot lots" (unavoidable in vaccine manufacturing), and a wide range of autoimmune and neurological injuries from vaccines such as Typhoid, Yellow Fever, Rabies, Measles, Diphtheria, Pertussis, and Smallpox. The source proposes vaccine-induced micro-strokes as a potential explanation for observed pathological changes like oedema, blood cell congestion, cranial nerve deficits, and small hemorrhages in the brain, suggesting this mechanism underlies many diseases, particularly vaccination injuries.
Source 4: IRAN: Everything You Need To Know But Were Too Afraid Of The Israel Lobby To Ask, by Ilana Mercer - The Unz Review This article from The Unz Review argues that Israel's war against Iran is not an act of anticipatory self-defense, but rather an "old-fashioned aggression". It asserts that Iran is being "punished for its support for the Palestinians" and is seen as the "last, independent, frontline state that refuses to submit" to the normalization of alleged crimes against the Palestinian people. The source claims that the 1979 Iranian Revolution returned decision-making to Tehran, removing it from Washington D.C., which it calls a "synonym... for Tel Aviv," and that Israel seeks to reinstate this prior control. The United States is depicted as Israel's "lickspittle co-belligerent" and suggests that President Trump engaged in "diplomacy-as-deception" with Iran, conniving with Israel and having foreknowledge of the attack. The article characterizes Israel as an "annihilatory state" with a "Jewish supremacy" mindset that aims to fracture surrounding nations and maintain hegemony across the Middle East, seeking to eliminate pro-liberation and pro-Palestinian movements rather than negotiate with them. It alleges that Israel deliberately targets Arab and Persian "human capital"—intellectuals, artists, scientists, reporters, activists, healers, and humanitarians—to reduce societies to a "primordial, pre-civilization stage". The source contrasts Israel with Iran, stating that Israel, not Iran, is a "promiscuous proliferator of nuclear weapons," believed to possess "90 plutonium-based nuclear warheads" and has rejected IAEA oversight, while Iran is a party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). It also challenges U.S. National-Terrorism-Industrial-Complex warnings about Iran, pointing out that Saudi Arabia has been responsible for far more murders on American soil than Iran between 1975 and 2024. The article cites U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's assessment that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and has not authorized a nuclear weapons program since 2003. It accuses the IAEA's Director-General, Rafael Grossi, of acting partially and using "Palantir necro-software" to generate "hokum WMD report[s]" based on "a mosaic of AI storytelling". Ultimately, the article concludes that Israel's occupation of Palestinians is the "basic cause" of the trouble in the greater Middle East.
Source 5: President Trump’s Plan for the Middle East - LewRockwell In this source, Paul Craig Roberts proposes a "bold and innovative plan for the Middle East" that President Trump could present to the world. Roberts suggests that Trump, having asserted Washington's claim to Gaza as an American possession and unveiled a vision of a Middle East made rich by American management, now holds the "upper hand" over a weakened Netanyahu. This plan envisions a different kind of colonial management than previous British or French approaches, with a partnership where "colonies" would be shareholders sharing in the profits from economic development, potentially benefiting Israel as well. Roberts argues that Israel has "zero chance of winning a war with Iran and the same for Pakistan," and its confidence relies on the Israel Lobby's power over Americans to fight wars on its behalf. He also criticizes the "Israeli-subsidized Christian Zionists" for supporting these wars. Roberts believes that Trump can leverage Netanyahu's weakened position, due to indictments and the destruction inflicted on Israel by its attack on Iran, to force Israel to abandon the "unrealistic Zionist goal of Greater Israel" and comply with Trump’s vision. If this plan is taken to the UN, Roberts states it would "silence Israel and the American neoconservative zionists and save us from war that could turn nuclear". He highlights the immense waste of resources and prestige from previous U.S. wars in Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Somalia, which resulted in destruction, millions of dead, maimed, and dislocated people, with "zero gain" except for military/security war profits. Roberts questions why Israel, which he describes as a constant cause of "conflict, death, and destruction" since its existence, has been tolerated. He suggests that if Israel refuses to cooperate, Trump should "just run over them".
Source 6: Reiner Fuellmich: “The monsters have reached the end of the line” - The Expose This article presents a message from Dr. Reiner Fuellmich, who asserts that the "covid perpetrators," which he refers to as "monsters," are "stuck and have run into a massive brick wall at the end of a one-way street that leads into a dead end". Despite a common feeling that progress towards a better future is stagnant, Dr. Fuellmich insists that it is not "our side that is stuck". He identifies several political figures, including German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Zelensky, Macron, Starmer, and Carney from Canada, as "warmongers" attempting to involve the U.S. in a war against Russia. Fuellmich suggests that the substantial funds allocated for "defence and infrastructure for defence" may be used for "bribes and crimes" to control "deep state’s puppets". He emphasizes that public sentiment is against war, citing low popularity polls for these leaders, indicating that they are the ones who are "stuck". Dr. Fuellmich believes that the motto "sunlight is the best of disinfectant" is crucial, advocating for exposing the truth about the "plandemic" to open everyone’s eyes, which he sees as the "downfall of the monsters". He states that the truth about the "plandemic" serves as a "door opener to all the other lies about, for example, CO2, climate change, 911, the Ukraine war, Gaza, the Kennedy murders, etc.". As a lawyer, he views his role as making the evidence of "crimes against humanity" and the identity of the perpetrators visible, asserting that these individuals "acted with intent to kill and destroy" and "lack basic human qualities, in particular empathy". Dr. Fuellmich concludes that justice is attainable and can "come very swiftly – overnight – if we do everything to pave the way". He also highlights that "real human intelligence," combining rational thought, emotions, and gut instincts, is superior to "artificial intelligence". He encourages collective action, stating, "each and every one of us on this side of the fence has special talents and abilities, and together we really are invincible".
Source 7: SCOTUS Strikes a Blow Against Public School Indoctrination of Young Children - LewRockwell This piece reports on a recent Supreme Court decision in the case of Mahmoud v. Taylor, where the Court, by a 6-3 vote, upheld parents' right to exempt their children from "biased sex and gender lessons" in public schools that violated their religious values. The case stemmed from Montgomery County, Maryland, where the public school system implemented an LGBTQ+ gender-sex education program starting in pre-kindergarten. Initially, an opt-out option was offered, but it was later canceled when "too many parents" sought to remove their children from the program. The Montgomery County Public School system reportedly aimed to "injecting progressive values" and to "disrupt the either/or thinking" of elementary students about biological sex, with the stated goal of instilling "a new perspective not easily contravened by their parents". The article highlights data from MCPS indicating a 582% increase in children self-identifying as "non-binary" in local schools, suggesting the program's success in "disrupting children's thinking". It also criticizes the schools for keeping gender transitions secret from parents and for not disclosing data on the use of puberty blockers or psychiatric drugs, despite concerns about mental health issues among non-binary youth. The parents' lawsuit argued that MCPS promoted "political ideologies about family life and human sexuality that are inconsistent with sound science, common sense, and the well-being of children". Justice Samuel Alito, writing for the majority, declared that a government burdens the religious exercise of parents when it requires children to undergo instruction that threatens their religious beliefs and that "free public education" cannot be conditioned on accepting such instruction. The article concludes that while the Supreme Court made the right call, the power of government schools to determine children's personal, moral, and religious views remains a "dire threat to parents, children, and to the future of liberty".
Source 8: The Constitution – The Past and Present - LewRockwell This source reflects on the U.S. Constitution, acknowledging it as a potentially "finest concept" yet written for governing a country, despite the framers' own doubts about its longevity. The article notes that while the Constitution is praised for its brevity, this was partly due to extensive disagreements among its ten writers on fundamental concepts, especially the role of the Federal Government. It highlights the historical conflict between John Adams, who advocated for a strong central government, and Thomas Jefferson, who favored minimal central government, with Jefferson's view largely prevailing in the early union. However, early events like Alexander Hamilton's push for taxation and a federal bank demonstrated how ideals could be adjusted based on power. The Louisiana Purchase is cited as an example where President Jefferson, despite his principles, made a significant federal expenditure, setting a precedent for future large government spending. The article asserts that human nature leads to making exceptions to agreed-upon principles and that "power corrupts," evident in early leaders' reluctance to leave office. It argues that the U.S. has seen "significant changes… each one for the worse," including the rise of "career politicians" who lack real-world experience and a "ponderous bureaucracy" that prioritizes itself over national interests. The author predicts that the Constitution will remain but with "ever-decreasing significance" because politicians represent campaign donors over voters, and Americans prioritize their "pet entitlements" from the federal government, even if unconstitutional, over sacrificing to live by its principles. This trajectory, the source suggests, is leading to a "slow collapse" akin to ancient Rome, where the republic became corrupted by entitlements and the "barbarians (the third-world of their day) took the lead".
Source 9: The No-Win Bubble 'Wealth Effect': Either Way We Lose - LewRockwell This article delves into how the U.S. economy has undergone dramatic changes over the past 50 years, particularly a "wealth transfer" of an estimated "$150 trillion… from wages to owners of capital" since the mid-1970s. It contrasts the period from 1945-1975, when wages maintained a stable share of national income and grew with the economy, to the subsequent reversal where economic gains increasingly flowed to capital. The source attributes this shift to "financialization," which took off in the 1980s with unlimited credit for financiers, expanding into every part of the economy to commoditize assets like the family home. This financialization led to federal debt rising faster than GDP and culminated in the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. Following this crisis, policy decisions made the economy dependent on "synthetic growth" fueled by debt and asset bubbles, creating "the wealth effect," where asset owners feel richer and increase consumption. The article points out that since asset ownership is concentrated among the top 10% of households, who now account for nearly 50% of all U.S. consumer spending, this wealth effect has "dramatically boosted wealth and income inequality". This creates a "can't win scenario": if the "Everything Bubble" continues to inflate, wealth inequality will "crack our society wide open," but if it pops, consumption will implode, jobs will be lost, and a severe recession will ensue. The article highlights the "pernicious consequences" of relying on debt for consumption and funneling gains to asset owners, which has "effectively impoverishing the nation's younger generations" and led to a collapse in marriage and birth rates since 2007. It also notes that retirement programs like Social Security and Medicare are driving fiscal bankruptcy, creating a "Doom Loop" with no apparent exit, as all speculative asset bubbles eventually pop.
Source 10: This Is the Worst Year for the U.S. Dollar Since The Oil Crisis of 1973 - LewRockwell This source emphasizes that the U.S. dollar is experiencing its "worst start to the year since 1973," having dropped over 10% against major currencies. It stresses that a strong dollar is vital for the American standard of living, as it enables greater purchasing power. The current weakness is compared to the dire economic conditions of 1973, including the Vietnam War, high taxes, rising crime rates, a struggling economy, and the Arab oil embargo. The article draws parallels to today, noting wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, mounting federal debt, social unrest, worsening economic conditions, and an ongoing global trade war as factors contributing to a loss of international confidence in the U.S. currency. Despite the weaker dollar typically making exports more competitive, the U.S. current account deficit surged to a new record high in the first quarter of 2025, largely because businesses imported goods in advance to avoid President Trump's tariffs. The U.S. economy itself contracted at a 0.5% annualized rate in the first quarter of this year, partly due to these "aggressive tariffs," and the housing market is described as having its "worst year in decades". Furthermore, the end of the student loan payment pause has triggered a "student loan delinquency crisis of unprecedented magnitude," with nearly one in four borrowers behind on payments in Q1 2025, negatively impacting their credit scores and future access to credit. The article warns of "economic hell" approaching this summer, citing the impending end of a pause on "reciprocal tariffs" on July 9th, which could significantly increase tariffs on thousands of imported products and cause "immense economic pain". The potential re-eruption of the war between Israel and Iran, with the threat of the Strait of Hormuz being closed, is presented as a severe danger that would make the 1973 oil crisis seem minor.
Source 11: What means 'winning'?, by Alastair Crooke - The Unz Review This article from The Unz Review argues that Iran "plainly 'won'" its recent confrontation with the U.S. and Israel, despite President Trump's declaration of a "splendid 'Victory'" following strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. The author, Alastair Crooke, states that the attack caused only "superficial surface damage" and was likely "co-ordinated in advance with Iran via intermediaries to be a ‘once and done’ affair," a habitual pattern for Trump's quick media "victories". Iran's Supreme Leader forcefully stated "No surrender," that enrichment would proceed, and that the U.S. should exit the region. Iran is believed to retain enough centrifuges and 450 kg of highly enriched uranium, with its location unknown. The article suggests that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been "egregiously subversive of Iranian sovereignty" and may be expelled, leading U.S. and European intelligence to lose their "eyes on the ground" and vital Artificial Intelligence data used for target identification. Crooke refutes claims of Israeli air superiority over Iran, suggesting that Israeli forces likely mounted stand-off missile launches from Azerbaijani airspace rather than significantly overflying Iran. He emphasizes that the destruction of the nuclear program was a "pretext," not the main objective, for Israel's intricate plan, which was focused on the "implosion of the Iranian state, paving the path to chaos and ‘regime change’". However, the Iranian military response and massive popular rallying "united in the face of aggression," preventing the predicted collapse. Crooke asserts that the "long war" to subvert Iran, weaken Russia, BRICS, and China is "on hold" but "not over," as U.S. control of Middle East oil is crucial for its dollar trading primacy. The failure of an uprising in Iran is considered a "big win" for Iran, offering an "unexpected opportunity" for the Iranian Revolution to gain new energy. Conversely, Israel faced "historic humiliation" as its "mystique" of being unassailable, when fused with American power, was destroyed by Iran's retaliatory strikes. The author notes that Trump's continued advocacy for "forever war" and his "increasingly bizarre posts" are radicalizing his populist base against him and causing international capitals like Moscow, Beijing, and Tehran to find his messaging "erratic" and difficult to take seriously.

I. The Expose by Rhoda Wilson & Phillip Altman
Australian Government Plans to Destroy QoVAX Study Data: The Australian Government is planning to destroy irreplaceable clinical data and biological samples from the QoVAX study, which investigated the safety and efficacy of various covid vaccines in over 10,000 people in Queensland. This decision has raised concerns about a cover-up, as it comes after a series of actions indicating a desire to bury the truth about covid vaccine harms.
QoVAX Study's Scope and Abrupt Termination: The Queensland Covid-19 Vaccination Safety and Efficacy Trial (“QoVAX SET”), established in May 2022 by three top universities, aimed to track immune responses and identify factors affecting vaccine safety and efficacy across a broad and genetically diverse population. Metro North Health, managing the study, cut all funding and abruptly shut QoVAX down in June 2023, later informing participants that biospecimens would be sterilized and destroyed and data archived and inaccessible.
Significance of QoVAX Data for Future Research: The materials from QoVAX are globally important, containing information on excess deaths and adverse effects, and are relevant to ongoing scientific investigations into synthetic DNA contamination in mRNA vaccines, a problem confirmed by multiple prestigious laboratories. Campaigners assert that the government is ethically and legally obligated to make these publicly-funded samples and data available for future research.
Legal Action to Halt Data Destruction: In April 2025, legal-scientific advocate Julian Gillespie issued a formal legal notice to Queensland authorities, demanding a halt to any destruction of the QoVAX data and specimens. This push to destroy data is seen as strangely concurrent with Queensland's investment in new mRNA research.
Broader Government Actions to Conceal Vaccine Harms: The Australian Government has reportedly failed to call a Royal Commission into the covid “vaccines” disaster despite a pre-election promise and has argued in court it has no “duty of care” regarding covid vaccine injuries. It has also failed to properly follow up on more than 1,000 reported covid “vaccine” linked deaths and changed the way the Australian Bureau of Statistics records the dramatic rise in unexpected non-covid deaths following the rollout of the covid vaccines.
II. Dr. YoungHoon Kim: How the World’s Highest IQ Confirms the Harmony Between Science and Christian Doctrine by Scott Ventureyra
Dr. YoungHoon Kim's Affirmation of Post-Death Consciousness: Dr. YoungHoon Kim, whose IQ is reportedly verified at 276 and who holds a bachelor’s degree in theology, declared three months ago that “Our consciousness continues beyond death, definitely”. This statement from the person with the world’s highest recorded IQ is seen as refreshing, challenging many scientists who clumsily reduce the mind to mere neurochemical activity.
Interdisciplinary Approach and Quantum Physics Perspective: Kim has studied various subjects, including psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, philosophy, and theology, equipping him to reflect deeply on quantum information, consciousness, the afterlife, and God. He suggests that if consciousness is a kind of quantum information, it may persist beyond the death of the body, much like data stored in “the cloud,” aligning with quantum mechanics teaching that information never truly disappears but only changes form.
Information's Role in Biology and Intelligent Design: The source highlights that information is not bound to a single material medium and can transfer across various substrates without necessarily losing the essential informational content. This growing recognition of information’s primacy in biology has been a central focus of the Intelligent Design movement, presenting a challenge to reductionist biology.
Public Confession of Christian Faith: In a world that idolizes IQ tests and technocratic expertise, Dr. Kim openly confesses his belief that Jesus Christ is divine, declaring on platforms where his words reached millions, “As the world’s highest IQ record holder, I believe that Jesus Christ is God, the way and the truth and the life”. This public and willing bending of the knee to Jesus is described as a stunning feat, especially given the culture’s mistaken association of high intelligence with skepticism and nonbelief.
Critique of Materialist Frameworks: The author, Scott Ventureyra, argues in his own writings that materialist accounts of the mind are philosophically inadequate and can be rendered scientifically obsolete, as they imply human freedom is an illusion and deny any hope for meaning transcending brief biological existence. Scientific developments in fields like cosmology, evolutionary biology, chemical evolution, and neuroscience have increasingly pointed away from the scientific materialist paradigm over the past century.
III. The Expose by Rhoda Wilson & A Midwestern Doctor
Historical Documentation of Neurological Vaccine Injuries: Neurological injuries from vaccination have been documented since the smallpox vaccine over two centuries ago, with severe injuries reported throughout medical literature. The medical profession concealed these injuries, believing public vaccination benefits justified hiding information that might create vaccine hesitancy.
Censorship and Reclassification of Injuries: Historical injuries like spreading paralysis mirror current “one in a million” vaccine injuries, but toxicity documentation was erased to preserve the “safe and effective” narrative. While these injuries were widely reported in the past, research into them is now widely censored, and many of these forgotten reports are critical for understanding modern “inexplicable” conditions like autism.
DPT Vaccine and Post-Pertussis Encephalopathy: A 1982 NBC news programme revealed that many parents were having children develop “post-pertussis encephalopathy” after taking the DPT vaccine for diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough) and tetanus, and that most doctors refused to report this. Medical knowledge about severe reactions to the whooping cough vaccine goes back to the early 1930s, with reports published in medical journals since then.
Autism and Diagnostic Obfuscation: It is commonly argued that the increase in autism is not due to an environmental toxin like vaccines but rather more and more “normal” things being reclassified as autism. When the 1986 Vaccine Injury Act was passed, it acknowledged a few specific neurological injuries from vaccines, one of which was encephalopathy from the measles, mumps, and rubella (“MMR”) vaccine, which is now labelled as “autism” and “not caused by vaccines”.
Systemic Barriers to Research and Data Access: Research into vaccine neurological injuries was systematically prevented, with placebo-controlled trials deemed “unethical” while research showing harms was dismissed as “junk science” for lacking placebo controls. Large databases containing vaccinated and unvaccinated data were withheld from researchers, and remarkably, when RFK’s team gained access, HHS employees illegally deleted the database.
Sir Graham Wilson's "The Hazards of Immunisation": In 1966, eminent bacteriologist Sir Graham Wilson wrote ‘The Hazards of Immunisation,’ disclosing a large number of forgotten vaccine disasters he’d collected, in the hope it could lead to safer vaccines. He highlighted how many vaccines have been shown to cause immune suppression and make latent infections become severe, and how the mentality behind manufacturing vaccines makes hot lots almost unavoidable.
Specific Historical Neurological Injuries: Wilson’s compilation included many devastating neurological injuries: from Typhoid vaccine (polyneuritis, blindness, convulsions, widespread nerve damage, GBS-like cases); Yellow Fever (fatal neurological symptoms, acute meningitis, encephalitis); Rabies (neuroparalysis, dorsolumbar myelitis, encephalomyelitis, GBS); Measles (encephalitis); Diphtheria (paralysis from hot vaccine lots); Pertussis (convulsions, brain damage, persistent uncontrollable screaming); and Smallpox (post-vaccinal encephalomyelitis with a 35% mortality rate, neuralgia, various paralysis types, memory loss, and a general loss of vitality).
Vaccine-Induced Micro-strokes Theory: The author proposes that qualities observed in Wilson’s reports, such as brain damage without virus presence, oedema, blood cell congestion, cranial nerve deficits, and small haemorrhages, can be explained through “vaccine-induced micro-strokes”. These are triggered by zeta potential changes which cause blood cells to electrically clump together, and this process is systemic, affecting various parts of the body including cranial nerves.
IV. IRAN: Everything You Need To Know But Were Too Afraid Of The Israel Lobby To Ask by Ilana Mercer
Jewish Supremacy as the Core Motivation for Israeli Aggression: The author asserts that Israel’s aggression stems from a condition as much a part of the nation’s collective “soul” as individual Israelis’, which is a mindset of Jewish supremacy and a shared endeavor for regional, military supremacy. Iran is seen as being “punished for its support for the Palestinians,” being the “last, independent, frontline state that refuses to submit, to normalize the crimes against the Palestinian people”.
Israel's War Against Iran as "Supreme Crime": Israel’s unprovoked, illegal war against Iran is described not as anticipatory self-defense, but as “old-fashioned aggression,” which, when normalized by Israel and its sponsors, is considered the “supreme crime” in international law. The 1979 Iranian Revolution took decision-making away from Tel-Aviv and returned it to Teheran, a situation Israel now seeks to reinstate.
Israeli Aim for Regime Change and Fracturing Nations: Israel’s gestalt is annihilatory, aiming to fracture the surrounding nations and maintain hegemony across the Middle East, rather than seeking to live alongside its neighbors as an equal. Israel methodically and spitefully picks off peace negotiators and targets Iranian scientists and non-combatant elite military personnel in their family homes.
Israel vs. Iran: The "Rogue State" Debate: The source contends that Israel, not Iran, is the “rogue state” because Israel launches wars of aggression on its neighbors and is a “promiscuous proliferator of nuclear weapons,” believed to possess “90 plutonium-based nuclear warheads and has produced enough plutonium for 100-200 more weapons”. In contrast, Iran is a party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and unlike Israel, does not practice state terrorism.
US Intelligence on Iran's Nuclear Program: The US Intelligence Community (IC) has consistently assessed since 2007 that “Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Khamenei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program that he suspended in 2003”. The utterances of Rafael Grossi, the IAEA’s director general, are said to have helped justify kinetic action against Iran, with his reports allegedly generated by Palantir Artificial Intelligence software.
Origins of the "Blame-Iran" Narrative: The “blame-Iran, change-the-Iranian-regime” narrative was started by Israel in the 1970s and, at Israel’s behest, the US began excluding Iran in the 1990s. This stems from Israel’s “strategic perspective” which “requires everywhere and always an enemy,” designated by a “blood libel” like being called antisemitic, despite the reality of Arabs being “exterminated daily en masse”.
V. President Trump’s Plan for the Middle East by Paul Craig Roberts
Trump's Proposed Middle East Plan: The author suggests a "bold and innovative plan for the Middle East" that President Trump should present to the UN General Assembly. This plan is informed by insights into Trump’s attitude toward the Middle East, particularly that Trump’s assertion (true or false) of destroying Iranian nuclear sites “had destroyed Netanyahu’s excuse for war with Iran”.
Vision of American Colonial Management: Trump unveiled a vision of a Middle East made rich by American management, with Gaza as the anchor for an American Middle East colony in place of Greater Israel. This would be a new kind of colonial management, a “partnership” where “colonies” would be shareholders sharing in the profits from economic development.
Israel's Military Weakness and US Dependence: The article argues that Israel has “zero chance of winning a war with Iran” due to Iran’s larger population (90 million vs. Israel's fewer than 10 million) and ability to produce modern missiles in greater quantities than Israel can be supplied from the US. Israel's confidence in fighting wars is attributed to the Israel Lobby's power over American lives and money, guaranteeing US support.
Corruption of Christian Zionists: The source claims that the “Israeli-subsidized Christian Zionists,” described as a “contradiction of terms,” are “all for” war, with Israel allegedly paying their preachers to send Americans to war for Israel.
Trump's Leverage for Peace: Netanyahu's weakened position, under indictment and appealing to Trump to stop the war, leaves Trump with the “upper hand,” enabling him to force Netanyahu to abandon the “unrealistic Zionist goal of Greater Israel”. If Trump implements this plan at the UN, it could silence Israel and American neoconservative Zionists, saving the US from a potentially nuclear war and establishing peace with Russia.
Critique of US Foreign Policy and Waste of Resources: The author criticizes America's "waste of resources and prestige" in the 21st century, pointing to trillions of dollars spent destroying Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Somalia with “zero gain” and bringing only destruction, not democracy. This destruction is linked to Israel’s “absurd idea of a Greater Israel,” resulting in millions of dead, maimed, and dislocated people who now burden US and European taxpayers.
VI. The Expose by Rhoda Wilson
"Monsters" at a Dead End: Dr. Reiner Fuellmich delivers a message for the world, stating that while people may feel stuck, it is not "our side that is stuck," but rather the "covid perpetrators," whom he calls “monsters,” who have “run into a massive brick wall at the end of a one-way street that leads into a dead end”. He asserts that “The monsters have reached the end of their line,” and that the war, which they have already lost, is in the process of being ended together by people.
German Chancellor Merz as a Warmonger: Fuellmich identifies the German Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, a former BlackRock executive, as "the worst of the warmongers," who, along with leaders like Zelensky, Macron, Starmer, and Carney, is “trying very hard to make the US join a war against Russia”. Merz plans to spend roughly 1 trillion euros of German taxpayer money on “defence and infrastructure for defence,” which Fuellmich suspects will be used to pay for bribes and crimes to keep “the so-called deep state’s puppets in line”.
Public Discontent and Government Unpopularity: Fuellmich highlights that Germans, with few exceptions, “do not want to go to war and get killed as cannon fodder for the monsters,” and Merz’s popularity is very low, at roughly 30%. He notes similar low popularity for Macron, Starmer, and Carney, concluding that “they’re all stuck, not us”.
Truth as the Downfall of "Monsters": Fuellmich advocates for exposing the truth about the “plandemic,” drawing on Justice Brandeis’s motto that “sunlight is the best of disinfectant”. He believes that the truth about the pandemic “opens everyone’s eyes – and that is the downfall of the monsters”.
Interconnectedness of Global Lies: The truth of the “plandemic” is seen by Fuellmich as a “door opener to all the other lies about, for example, CO2, climate change, 911, the Ukraine war, Gaza, the Kennedy murders, etc, etc”.
Call for Justice and Accountability: As a lawyer, Fuellmich views his job, with public help, as making visible the evidence of “crimes against humanity” and the identity of the criminals, ensuring everyone understands that perpetrators “did not just make mistakes or bad judgments but acted with intent to kill and destroy” and lack basic human qualities like empathy. He aims for justice to come swiftly, with criminals and their corporations held responsible for damages and forced to return “absolutely everything they have stolen from us”.
VII. SCOTUS Strikes a Blow Against Public School Indoctrination of Young Children by James Bovard
Supreme Court Upholds Parental Opt-Out from LGBTQ+ Education: On Friday, the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) “clobbered perhaps America’s most aggressive and intolerant LGBTQ+ school indoctrination program” by a 6 to 3 vote in Mahmoud v. Taylor, upholding parents’ right to exempt their children from biased sex and gender lessons that violated their religious values. This ruling serves as a “bitter reminder that public education is the most expensive ‘gift’ that most Americans will ever receive”.
Montgomery County's Controversial Curriculum: Montgomery County Public School (MCPS) system, which prides itself on injecting progressive values into its students, launched a gender-sex education program beginning in pre-kindergarten. The program initially offered an opt-out option, but the county canceled it after too many parents used it, leading to a lawsuit from an organization representing Muslim, Ukrainian Orthodox, and Catholic parents.
Ideological Goals of MCPS Program: In 2019, Maryland regulations promoted viewing each student’s “gender identity and expression,” and “sexual orientation” as “valuable,” with the MCPS Board reviewing books through an “LGBTQ+ Lens” to “disrupt the either/or thinking” of elementary students about biological sex. The stated goal was to instill in children “a new perspective not easily contravened by their parents”.
Reported Negative Impacts and Lack of Transparency: MCPS reported a 582% increase in children self-identifying as “non-binary” in local schools, with almost half of students identifying as such on medical intake forms. No data has been disclosed on how many students were swayed to take puberty blockers or undergo gender-altering surgery, nor on the impact on mental illness or the use of psychiatric drugs, despite a survey finding that over half of transgender and non-binary youth considered committing suicide in 2022.
Opposition from Parents and Principals: Parents’ lawsuit complained that MCPS promoted “political ideologies about family life and human sexuality that are inconsistent with sound science, common sense, and the well-being of children”. Even the local association of school principals vehemently objected to the program, finding it problematic to portray elementary school age children falling in love, supporting explicit teaching of gender/sexual identity, inviting “shaming comments,” and being “dismissive of religious beliefs”.
Critique of Government Schools and Parental Subjugation: The author critiques how “free” schools “subjugate parents and other taxpayers,” arguing that parents’ rights vanish as soon as their tax dollar is deposited into government coffers, turning them from buyers into beggars. Justice Samuel Alito, writing for the court majority, stated that a government burdens religious exercise when it requires children to submit to instruction that poses “a very real threat of undermining” parents’ religious beliefs.
VIII. The Constitution – The Past and Present by Jeff Thomas
Return to Constitutional Principles: Many Americans have become refocused on the Constitution recently, hoping to return the country to its original objectives and values, as the US has deteriorated economically and governmentally to a degree that its very structure is in danger of collapse. The American Constitution, borrowing ideas from historical governmental structures like the Roman Republic, is considered potentially “the finest concept that has yet been written by which to govern a country”.
Founders' Intent and Early Disagreements: The Constitution is brilliant in its brevity, not bogged down in detail, but this is also because the committee of ten that wrote it “disagreed so extensively on some basic concepts that it was difficult to get anything on paper that they could all accept”. From the beginning, various factions almost immediately began to “interpret” the Constitution and recommend amendments, each seeking to bend it into a direction that would allow them to achieve their personal goals.
Shifting Political Ideals and Power Dynamics: The author highlights that “in every country, in every era, there will always be those who adjust their ideals according to whether or not they themselves are in power,” citing Alexander Hamilton’s shift on taxation. Even Thomas Jefferson, who argued for minimal central government, sacrificed his principles to make the Louisiana Purchase, setting a precedent for future presidents to take on huge expenditures.
Decline of the Republic and Rise of Career Politicians: The US is stated to be “no longer a republic and it can be argued that it is no longer run by true democracy,” with significant changes occurring, “each one for the worse”. The concept of a “career politician” has emerged, lacking a grasp of the “real world” because they have never worked in it, contrasting with the founders’ view of public office as a temporary duty.
Bureaucracy and Entitlements as Threats: The bureaucracy has become so ponderous that it routinely takes precedence over the best interests of the country, with pork still being more important to legislators than a balanced budget. The author contends that all Americans receive federal government benefits of some kind, and when their “pet entitlements are threatened, they will scream bloody murder,” regardless of the Constitution allowing for them.
Likely Future and Comparison to Roman Decline: The Constitution is predicted to remain but with “ever-decreasing significance” due to politicians representing campaign funders rather than voters, and Americans prioritizing entitlements. This scenario is likened to ancient Rome’s decline, where the republic became “watered down to the point of corruption on the one side, and entitlements on the other,” leading to a slow collapse as people chose “bread and circuses” over economic recovery.
IX. The No-Win Bubble 'Wealth Effect': Either Way We Lose by Charles Hugh Smith
Dire Economic Outlook: The author states that the current economic situation "ends badly," emphasizing that nothing in the future will make sense without understanding the dramatic shifts over the past 50 years beneath the surface. A fundamental change is that wages, which gained ground from 1945 to 1975, have lost ground for the past 50 years, meaning the economy’s gains flowed to capital rather than wages.
Massive Wealth Transfer and Financialization: An estimated “$150 trillion was siphoned from wages to owners of capital,” a non-trivial wealth transfer. Financialization, which accelerated in the 1980s with unlimited credit for financiers, expanded to commoditize assets such as the family home, turning them into securities for global capital.
Federal Debt Growth and "Synthetic Growth": Federal debt as a percentage of GDP rose faster than GDP as financialization "hollowed out the US economy," a process further advanced by globalization from 2001. The 2008-09 crisis marked a critical juncture where the “organic economy” became subservient to the “synthetic economy” of debt, bubbles, and “the wealth effect”.
Exacerbated Inequality from "Wealth Effect": The US economy became dependent on “the wealth effect” for consumption, where asset valuations bubble higher, incentivizing owners to borrow and spend more of their “phantom wealth”. This mechanism has “dramatically boosted wealth and income inequality” because asset ownership is concentrated in the top 10% of households, who now account for 49.7% of all US consumer spending.
"Can't Win Scenario" and Demographic Crisis: The current situation presents a “can’t win scenario”: if the “Everything Bubble” continues to inflate, wealth inequality will “crack our society wide open,” but if it pops, consumption will implode, jobs will be lost, and a severe recession will kick in. This approach has effectively impoverished younger generations, leading to a “demographic doom-loop” as marriage and birth rates have collapsed since 2007, and retirement programs are driving fiscal bankruptcy.
X. This Is the Worst Year for the U.S. Dollar Since The Oil Crisis of 1973 by Michael Snyder
US Dollar's Significant Weakness: The U.S. dollar is continuously getting weaker, which is identified as a major problem because the current standard of living depends on having a strong dollar. The U.S. dollar is “having its worst start to the year since 1973,” with the dollar index dropping more than 10 percent so far in 2025, marking the sharpest first-half fall since the collapse of the gold-backed Bretton Woods system.
Current Economic Crisis Echoes 1973: The author draws parallels to 1973, which was a “horrible year” characterized by the Vietnam War, high tax rates, rising crime, a struggling U.S. economy, and a crippling Arab oil embargo. Today, the U.S. is involved in wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, the federal government is drowning in debt, and a global trade war has erupted, all contributing to a loss of confidence in the U.S. and its currency.
Record Trade Deficit Despite Weak Dollar: Despite the expectation that a weaker dollar should make U.S. products more competitive and reduce trade imbalances, the U.S. current account deficit exploded to a record high of $450.2 billion in the first quarter of 2025. This widening deficit was due to businesses front-loading imports to avoid President Donald Trump’s hefty tariffs on imported goods.
Overall Economic Contraction and Housing Market Decline: The U.S. economy as a whole actually contracted at a downwardly revised 0.5% annualized rate in the first quarter of this year, amidst tepid consumer spending and distortions caused by the Trump administration’s aggressive tariffs. Additionally, the U.S. housing market is experiencing “its worst year in decades,” which poses “a real problem for the general economy”.
Student Loan Delinquency Crisis: A significant development affecting consumer spending power is the return of student loan delinquencies, with nearly one in four (23.7%) student loan borrowers behind on their loans in the first quarter of 2025 after a 43-month payment pause. This unprecedented scale of change has led to over 2.2 million newly delinquent borrowers seeing their credit plunge, with many losing qualification for mortgages, auto loans, and credit cards.
Impending "Economic Hell" from Tariffs and Geopolitical Conflict: CNN warned of “economic hell” approaching this summer, partly because President Donald Trump’s 90-day pause on “reciprocal tariffs” ends on July 9th, potentially leading to much higher tariffs on thousands of imported products and causing “immense economic pain”. The author also warns that the war between Israel and Iran could erupt again, and if Iran were to close the Strait of Hormuz, it “would make the oil embargo of 1973 look like a Sunday picnic”.
XI. What Means 'Winning'? by Alastair Crooke
Temporary Halt in "Long War" Against Iran: While Iran plainly “won” at one level, the article states that the “long war” to subvert Iran, weaken Russia, BRICS, and China is “on hold” but “not over”. Trump’s proclaimed “victory” on Sunday, having ostensibly “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear enrichment program, was based on superficial surface damage and a seemingly pre-coordinated, “once and done” strike.
Iran's Resilience and Assertiveness: The Supreme Leader of Iran has forcefully maintained Iran’s position of “No surrender,” indicating that enrichment proceeds and nobody (except Iran) knows where the stash of centrifuges and highly enriched uranium is hidden. Iran’s military response and the massive popular rallying to the flag have been a “big win” against those predicting regime change, uniting Iranian society in the face of aggression.
IAEA's Compromised Role and Iran's Potential Expulsion: The IAEA and its Director-General Grossi are criticized for being “egregiously subversive of Iranian sovereignty,” which will most likely lead to the Agency being expelled from Iran. This expulsion would result in US and European intelligence services losing their “eyes on the ground” and access to the IAEA’s Artificial Intelligence data collection, on which Israel’s identification of targets was heavily dependent.
Israeli Objectives Beyond Nuclear Program: The destruction of the nuclear program was a “pretext,” not the main objective; the decision to attack the Iranian State was taken earlier, and Israel’s intricate plan focused on the “implosion of the Iranian state, paving the path to chaos and ‘regime change’”. Trump likely believed the Israeli delusion of Iran being on the brink of imminent collapse and may have been “suckered – or more likely, was willing prey – to the Israeli and U.S. Israeli-Firster narrative building”.
Impact on Israel's Standing and Global Geopolitics: Israel’s standing as “unassailable when fused to American power” has taken a blow, as Israeli cities “burned for the first time” in retaliation, and Israel failed to achieve its major objectives, including defanging Iran’s nuclear program and regime change, leading to an “historic humiliation”. Russia and China understand that regime change in Iran would make Russia’s southern underbelly vulnerable and could collapse BRICS trade corridors, serving as a wedge separating Russia from China.
Trump's Erratic Messaging and Global Concerns: Trump’s continued stance that a “forever war is not off the table” if Iran builds nuclear facilities again, along with his “increasingly bizarre posts,” seems to have had the effect of radicalizing his Populist base against him on this issue. This erratic messaging makes Moscow, Beijing, and Tehran find it harder to take such statements seriously, and “amber lights are flashing in many capitals across the world” regarding Team Trump’s divorce from geopolitical reality in their situation assessments.
Here are 40 key takeaway points from the sources provided, formatted as requested:
Coffee & Covid 2025
Jeff Childers
Key Takeaway 1: Another major corporate media outlet, Paramount, settled a lawsuit with Donald Trump for alleged election meddling.
CNN reported that Paramount settled Trump’s "60 Minutes" lawsuit with a $16 million payout and no apology.
This settlement follows a similar capitulation by ABC/Disney in December.
Key Takeaway 2: The $16 million payout from Paramount, similar to previous settlements, will go to Trump's presidential library.
Paramount will wire its $16 million “totally unrelated” hush money —not to Trump personally— but to his looming presidential library.
The library is envisioned as "YUGE" and possibly intergalactic, built out of gold-plated server racks featuring AI-powered holograms.
Key Takeaway 3: CNN described Trump's lawsuit against Paramount as "legally dubious" in its reporting, despite court findings.
CNN’s pathetic sneering started in the very first sentence, sandwiching the scornful descriptor “legally dubious” between the words “settle a” and “lawsuit”.
However, a Texas judge denied CBS’s motion to dismiss, meaning the court found the claim had merit, contrary to CNN’s narrative.
Key Takeaway 4: Trump accused CBS of "message management" through creative editing of Kamala Harris’s "60 Minutes" interview.
Trump alleged CBS digitally improved Kamala Harris’s description of Biden’s Gaza policy during an election cycle, airing different clips and refusing to release the full transcript.
CBS’s video editors transformed a meandering diplomatic mush into something that almost sounded like coherent policy.
Key Takeaway 5: Media outlets that critique "cheap fakes" and "deepfakes" overlooked similar manipulation by "60 Minutes".
A media that delights in spotting everyone else’s “cheap fakes” saw no problem at all with what amounted to an AI-grade rewrite of Kamala’s signature word salad.
When CBS finally coughed up the raw footage under FCC pressure, the evidence confirmed that, key context was missing.
Key Takeaway 6: Legal experts cited by CNN and the Freedom of the Press Foundation incorrectly labeled Trump's lawsuit as frivolous.
CNN’s unidentified “legal experts” allegedly “maintained that Trump’s suit was frivolous and that CBS was on solid ground to fight and win the case in court”.
The Freedom of the Press Foundation stated, “It’s beyond frivolous — and that’s saying something given the myriad frivolous lawsuits Trump has filed”.
Key Takeaway 7: A lawsuit that survives a motion to dismiss cannot be legally defined as "frivolous".
If the lawsuit survived a motion to dismiss, by definition it isn’t frivolous.
A frivolous case is one so lacking in legal merit that it cannot reasonably be argued under any existing law, yet Trump’s lawsuit cleared this bar and resulted in a $16 million check.
Key Takeaway 8: The media's portrayal of Trump's lawsuit and its outcome reveals their hypocritical stance on "election interference".
The "60 Minutes" edits, if reversed, would have had the media shrieking about “election interference” louder than a CNN chyron.
However, election interference is only seditious when political enemies are accused of doing it.
Key Takeaway 9: Trump has accumulated $56 million from corporate media outlets through legal settlements for defamation and alleged election meddling.
ABC/Disney shelled out $15 million (plus $1 million in legal fees) in December.
Meta paid $25 million ($22 million to the library) in January, and today’s settlement with Paramount added $16 million more, rounding out a trifecta of $56 million.
Key Takeaway 10: Trump has more pending lawsuits in the pipeline, including against the Des Moines Register and various pollsters.
Trump has more pending lawsuits in the pipeline, including one against the Des Moines Register.
Another suit is against various pollsters and survey reporters for pushing fake polls right before the election.
Key Takeaway 11: The "Big Beautiful Bill" (BBB) has passed the Senate and is now headed to the House for a final vote.
The so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” has survived Senate wrangling —after several all-nighters and working through the weekend— and now returned to the House of Representatives.
A final vote in the House is expected today or tomorrow.
Key Takeaway 12: The content of the "Big Beautiful Bill" remains largely unknown and subject to rapid changes.
As Nancy Pelosi famously quipped, "we’ll have to wait for it to pass to find out what’s in it".
Its provisions are changing faster than a Walmart dressing room, making it impossible to tell which parts are important and which are political playthings.
Key Takeaway 13: U.S. job openings unexpectedly rose to 7.8 million in May, displaying labor market resilience.
The Associated Press reported that “U.S. job openings rose unexpectedly in May,” reaching 7.8 million.
Economists had expected a slight decrease, making the rise unforeseen.
Key Takeaway 14: Donald Trump correctly predicted the rise in job openings, contrasting with economists who often forecast collapse.
Trump, for one, predicted it.
He has been "uncannily right" about energy, trade, inflation, immigration, and most importantly, labor trends, unlike the overly credentialed experts.
Key Takeaway 15: The Associated Press attempted to minimize the positive job news by comparing May's figures to Biden's "juiced-up pre-election jobs streak".
The AP quickly tried to minimize the good news by noting it was still slightly below Biden’s final pre-election month in office in November, when openings hit 8 million.
Biden’s November figure was part of the now-infamous “juiced-up pre-election jobs streak,” numbers that got immediately shrink-rayed in February when the Labor Department quietly revised them downward.
Key Takeaway 16: Vacancies at the federal government fell to their lowest level since May 2020.
“Vacancies at the federal government,” the AP reported gloomily, “fell to the lowest level since May 2020”.
This indicates that not every sector enjoyed bursting new job demand.
Key Takeaway 17: The University of Pennsylvania (U. Penn) was forced to strip Lia Thomas of his swimming records and titles.
As part of a newly inked deal with the Department of Education, U. Penn agreed to retroactively strip “Lia” Thomas of his swimming records and titles in ladies’ swimming.
This action complies with federal bans on transgender athletes in women's sports.
Key Takeaway 18: U. Penn also agreed to ban "perverts" from women's intimate facilities and adopt biological definitions of sex.
School officials agreed that henceforth, no perverts will be allowed in women’s “intimate facilities” (locker rooms and bathrooms).
Penn will also adopt definitions for “male” and “female” consistent with biological sex.
Key Takeaway 19: U. Penn is required to issue personal apologies to each impacted female swimmer.
Best of all, Penn must issue personal apologies to each impacted female swimmer.
This is part of the agreement to restore the stolen records and titles to female athletes.
Key Takeaway 20: Former Democrat Christina Buttons executed a rhetorical "flip turn," siding with gender-critical feminists and conservatives.
Former democrat Christina Buttons, who previously disagreed with conservative co-hosts about being “mean” to trans people, yesterday executed a flawless flip turn.
She is now explicitly siding with groups historically dismissed as “extreme” like TERFs and gender-critical feminists.
Key Takeaway 21: Buttons admitted her error and endorsed a "zero compromise" strategy regarding gender issues.
Not only did she admit her error, she endorsed conservatives’ hardcore strategy of zero compromise.
This is a "wild departure from the incrementalist, live-and-let-live middle ground".
Key Takeaway 22: This public "mea culpa" signals a broader cultural realignment and a shift in momentum.
That kind of public mea culpa is a neon-lit bellwether, signaling a broader cultural realignment.
When formerly cautious voices start saying the quiet part out loud, it means the cultural current hasn’t merely shifted; it’s reversing in full gear.
Key Takeaway 23: Voicing sympathy for gender-critical views is becoming a badge of credibility, not career kryptonite.
In the very recent past, voicing sympathy for TERFs or gender-critical conservatives was career kryptonite.
Now, it’s a badge of credibility; maybe even applause-worthy, judging by comments to her post.
Key Takeaway 24: A leaked memo from BIO, the Biotechnology Innovation Organization, details a plot against RFK.
Jeffrey Tucker and the Brownstone Institute broke a story yesterday headlined, “The Plot to Get RFK,” based on a leaked pharma-industry meeting memo.
The memo looks "perfectly real," and so far, nobody has denied its authenticity.
Key Takeaway 25: BIO, the largest biotech lobby, represents over 1,000 pharmaceutical, biotech, and academic institutions.
The memo summarized a recent meeting of BIO, the Biotechnology Innovation Organization, which is the largest biotech lobby in the world.
It represents over 1,000 pharmaceutical, biotech, and academic institutions— including giants like Pfizer, Moderna, and Gilead.
Key Takeaway 26: BIO is often mistaken for a science nonprofit but is fundamentally a trade association.
While it’s often mistaken as a science nonprofit or a research consortium, at its core, BIO is a trade association.
Its newly elected co-chairs are Silvia Taylor from Novavax and Art Hirt from Merck.
Key Takeaway 27: BIO rarely addresses product safety, transparency, vaccine injury reporting, or conflicts of interest.
Unsurprisingly, while BIO markets itself as promoting innovation for the public good, it rarely (never) addresses product safety.
It also avoids topics like transparency, vaccine injury reporting, conflicts of interest with regulators, or member misbehavior like pharma profiteering.
Key Takeaway 28: BIO's members identified RFK as a "direct threat" in their leaked memo.
In the four-page memo’s very first bullet point, BIO’s members identified Kennedy as “a direct threat”.
This recognition from BIO should bury any doubts about Secretary Kennedy’s bona fides.
Key Takeaway 29: The memo revealed BIO's interest in creating a political "breakdown" between Kennedy and President Trump.
The third bullet point revealed how the members salivated over the “potential” for creating a political “breakdown” between Kennedy and President Trump.
The BIO memo repeatedly homed in on ideas for attacking the new HHS Secretary.
Key Takeaway 30: BIO's primary concern regarding RFK is protecting industry "profits".
The specific kind of “direct threat” the pharma execs had in mind was unveiled midway down the first page: profits.
They used buzzwords and euphemisms like “capital access,” “unpredictability,” and “viable capital-raising opportunities” to refer to profits.
Key Takeaway 31: BIO's first suggested strategy to counter RFK and "anti-vaxxer nonsense" was "engaging conservative influencers".
Their very first idea was “engaging conservative influencers” like the American Enterprise Institute, an influential conservative think-tank.
This strategy is seen as clueless, failing to engage with their industry’s singular point of weakness— safety and efficacy.
Key Takeaway 32: BIO's memo displayed "institutional narcissism" by blaming RFK and "misinformation" instead of their own products' safety and efficacy.
BIO’s memo revealed not just strategic failure, but a kind of institutional narcissism.
They still believe the problem is you, me, RFK, and “misinformation”— not the mountain of corpses beneath their collapsing slogan: “safe and effective”.
Key Takeaway 33: The phrase "safe and effective" was conspicuously absent from BIO's memo, suggesting it's now a sarcastic punchline.
The phrase “safe and effective” —or anything like it— appeared nowhere in the memo.
This was interpreted as a quiet, maybe even subconscious, recognition that the slogan has now become a sarcastic punchline.
Key Takeaway 34: BIO intends to replace "safe and effective" with a focus on "national security" in new public vaccine messaging.
The BIO’s executive brain trust recommended focusing their new public vaccine messaging on: national security.
This strategy is described as "deranged and clueless" given recent public health history.
Key Takeaway 35: "National security" in the context of public health has become synonymous with gaslighting, censorship, and coercion.
We literally just emerged from a pandemic where the phrase “national security” in the context of public health became synonymous with gaslighting, censorship, secrecy, cover-ups, coercion, and buffonish denials.
The author states, "We all now know exactly what “national security” means. It means “do what you’re told and don’t ask questions.”.
Key Takeaway 36: This rebranding attempts to "re-militarize medicine" and invert the doctor-patient relationship into a compliance-state dynamic.
They’re trying to re-militarize medicine, to invert the doctor-patient relationship into a compliance-state dynamic.
The author mockingly summarizes their new offering as: "In place of ‘safe and effective,’ we now offer you ‘top secret and compulsory.’".
Key Takeaway 37: Framing personal health choices as state-security imperatives is described as "bio-fascism".
It is literally the definition of bio-fascism.
This approach, framing personal health choices as state-security imperatives, is taken despite the memo ostensibly being about "promoting trust".
Key Takeaway 38: BIO's shift to "national security" messaging is influenced by an April government report titled “Charting the Future of Biotechnology”.
They found a single silver lining amidst their crashing stock prices and new regulatory hostility in an April government report titled, “Charting the Future of Biotechnology”.
The report implicitly presumes that all our bodies are nodes (defensive weapons) in the national security infrastructure.
Key Takeaway 39: The government report frequently and favorably quotes Chinese President Xi Jinping, adopting his logic on biotechnology and statecraft.
The report frequently and often favorably quoted Chinese President Xi —the world premier communist dictator— whose views on personal medical freedom are somewhat anemic.
In every substantive respect, the report adopts Xi’s logic point for point: biotechnology as statecraft, innovation as national security, and dissent as destabilization.
Key Takeaway 40: BIO mistakenly believes a government report quoting Xi Jinping will win over conservative skeptics, which is considered "magical thinking".
BIO actually believes this report —this technocratic fever dream quoting Xi Jinping like a policy oracle— will somehow win over conservative skeptics and MAHA fence-sitters.
This is described as "laughable" and "magical thinking bordering on a parody of Alice in Wonderland," as the target voters have already suffered under similar policies.
Here is a comprehensive response to your query, drawing on the provided sources and formatted as requested:
I. Source * Key Takeaway Point 1: Alleged Underbooked Capacity of the Titanic * The Titanic: the Fraud that Keeps on Giving by Miles Mathis * The famous maiden voyage of the world's most famous ship was strangely underbooked, at a little over half capacity. * The Titanic could take 2,453 passengers, but only 1,317 were allegedly onboard, which is 53.7% capacity. * Key Takeaway Point 2: Mainstream Explanation for Low Capacity is Questioned * A red flag is the mainstream's pathetic attempt to explain this anomaly: there was a coal strike in the UK that spring, causing many crossings to be canceled. * This uncanceled voyage should have had thousands of people on stand-by lists, especially those whose other ships were canceled and needed to travel across the pond. * Key Takeaway Point 3: Comparison to 9/11 Incidents * The underbooked nature of the Titanic immediately reminds the author of the planes that were said to have crashed on 9/11, which were also about half empty. * This parallel suggests a pattern of underbooked vehicles in alleged major incidents. * Key Takeaway Point 4: Implied Discrepancy Suggests Deception * The logical inconsistency of the coal strike explanation for low booking numbers suggests a lack of transparency in the official narrative. * The author views this anomaly as a "red flag," indicating something is amiss with the reported facts.
II. Source * Key Takeaway Point 1: Failure of Mainstream Math Regarding Crew and Passenger Numbers * The mainstream math fails, to this day, regarding the numbers of passengers and crew onboard. * They tell us 1,317 passengers were onboard, but 2,224 total were onboard (passengers and crew), implying a crew of 907. * Key Takeaway Point 2: Disproportionate Crew-to-Passenger Ratio * A crew of 907 for 1,317 passengers would mean almost every passenger had his own personal crewman, which is questioned. * This is especially curious given that 709 of the passengers were allegedly in third class and shouldn't have expected much service. * Key Takeaway Point 3: First-Class Passengers and Their Servants * The numbers add up even less when considering that many first-class passengers were already traveling with their own servants, reducing their need for additional crew service. * For instance, Astor and his wife were reported to be traveling with their private valet and two lady's maids. * Key Takeaway Point 4: Inconsistency Points to Fabricated Numbers * The author states that the numbers "don't add up," suggesting they are inconsistent and possibly fabricated. * The details provided, such as the number of third-class passengers and first-class passengers with private servants, are used to highlight the absurdity of the official figures.
III. Source * Key Takeaway Point 1: Discrepancy in Crew-to-Capacity Ratio * The total capacity of the Titanic is stated to be 3,547, with a full crew of 1,094. * However, with the ship at 53.7% passenger capacity, the crew was at 83% (907 crew members), meaning they had about 320 more crew than needed. * Key Takeaway Point 2: Allegation of Fabricated Crew Numbers * The author guesses that the 212 crew members said to have survived constituted the entire crew actually onboard. * The other 696 crew members were likely just "made up". * Key Takeaway Point 3: Unnaturally Fast Newspaper Reporting * A headline from the New York Herald on April 15, the same day the Titanic sank, reported 1,800 onboard and 675 saved. * The speed with which the Herald composed a full story, including pictures of famous people, in just a few hours after the sinking is deemed "pretty amazing work" and suggests the story was pre-written. * Key Takeaway Point 4: Indication of Pre-Planned Narrative * The author explicitly states that the swift and detailed newspaper reporting "looks like they already had the story written and illustrated before it even happened". * This pre-planning is described as "pretty much par for the course" for such events.
IV. Source * Key Takeaway Point 1: Conflicting Numbers in Early Newspaper Reports * The New York Times had a story ready to go on the morning of April 15, stating 1,200 onboard and 655 saved. * The New York Tribune reported 1,340 perished and 886 rescued, totaling 2,226 onboard, while the Detroit News reported 1,241 missing and 868 saved, totaling 2,109 onboard. * Key Takeaway Point 2: Inexplicable Variation in Total Onboard Numbers * The total number onboard should be a firm number, as all ships are required to have a full passenger and crew list. * However, this firm number varied widely from 1,200 to 2,226 across different newspapers. * Key Takeaway Point 3: White Star Lines' Role in Creating Confusion * The New York Times admitted its information came from the Olympic by wireless (telegraph), meaning the numbers came straight from White Star Lines. * It is suggested that White Star Lines intentionally provided different numbers to various newspapers to create confusion. * Key Takeaway Point 4: Deliberate Inflation of Onboard Numbers * The author suspects that someone decided to inflate the number from about 1,200 to about 2,200 in the first week after the sinking. * This manipulation of numbers is seen as part of a larger deceptive scheme.
V. Source * Key Takeaway Point 1: High Survival Rate for Prominent Individuals * Wikipedia provides a partial list of 68 prominent people on the Titanic, but only 21 are listed as perished, resulting in about a 70% survival rate for the rich. * This survival rate is described as "very curious". * Key Takeaway Point 2: Theory of Faked Deaths for the Wealthy * The author's initial assumption, leading to this research, was that most of the people listed as perished probably faked their deaths, similar to modern hoaxes. * Wealthy individuals who needed to disappear, perhaps to avoid lawsuits, taxes, or prosecution, could have been notified of the "Titanic hoax" beforehand to cash out on life insurance policies. * Key Takeaway Point 3: Use of Intelligence Agents for Other Fake Deaths * For fake deaths in second and third class, it is suggested that the ship could have been loaded with Intelligence agents who would then disappear after the rescue. * This implies a broader scheme involving various social classes. * Key Takeaway Point 4: Comparison to Other Alleged Hoaxes * The author references a "recent exposé of the Las Vegas hoax" where a long list of "fake-dead people" was found, indicating a recurring modus operandi. * The ability to fake deaths now is used to support the possibility of doing so in 1912.

Source * Key Takeaway Point 1: Significant Financial Gain from Life Insurance Fraud * The event offered considerable potential for life insurance fraud, as the mainstream story's classification of it as an accident would trigger double or triple indemnity payments. * John Jacob Astor's "fake widow" would have received a "stupendous amount" given he was one of America's richest men in 1912. * Key Takeaway Point 2: Astor's Expertise in Insurance Fraud * Astor owned many insurance companies, implying he had an "inside track" on how to defraud them. * This suggests he was not merely a victim but a potential participant in the alleged fraud. * Key Takeaway Point 3: Robin Gardiner's Research as a Starting Point * Anyone aiming to fully understand the Titanic hoax must follow Robin Gardiner's "insurance fraud hint". * However, the author believes this investigation would need to go "far deeper than he did". * Key Takeaway Point 4: Implication of Deeper Levels of Deception * The author views Gardiner's work as only "level one in a rabbit hole that goes down at least ten levels". * This implies a much more extensive and complex fraudulent operation than previously suggested.
VII. Source * Key Takeaway Point 1: Lloyd's of London's Unusually Quick Payout * Lloyd's of London allegedly insured the Titanic and paid out around $10 million for the lost ship, according to the Denver Post in 1912. * Despite this huge loss, representing 2/3rds of their stated $15 million deposit, Lloyd's apparently "weren't devastated" and paid in full within 30 days. * Key Takeaway Point 2: Contradiction with Typical Insurance Practices * This quick payout is deemed suspicious, as insurance companies normally "drag their feet for the smallest claim". * The idea that they could fully investigate the "Titanic fiasco" in under thirty days, occurring in the middle of the North Atlantic, is questioned as highly improbable. * Key Takeaway Point 3: Suspiciously Timed Newspaper Promotion * The Denver Post article promoting Lloyd's was published on April 16, the day after the sinking, implying it was written overnight. * The author finds it suspicious that the first 24 hours of reporting would feature a "glowing promotion of the insurance company" rather than other news. * Key Takeaway Point 4: The Article Itself as a Clue to Fraud * The rapid publication and promotional nature of the article are considered a "huge clue" to the fraudulent nature of the event. * This suggests the media was part of the coordinated narrative.
VIII. Source * Key Takeaway Point 1: Lloyd's of London as a Syndicate, Not a Traditional Insurer * Lloyd's is fundamentally a "group of companies and individuals, or a syndicate, that has joined as underwriters of risk," rather than an insurance company per se. * This unique structure is considered a "towering red flag" from the outset. * Key Takeaway Point 2: Historical Context and Suspicious Nature of Lloyd's * Created by an Act of Parliament in 1871, though existing since 1686, Lloyd's is described as "one of the spookiest companies in the world". * The author claims that in 2017, Lloyd's wrote £37 billion in premiums and, "like a casino," paid out only a small fraction of that. * Key Takeaway Point 3: Robin Gardiner's Implied Role as a Misdirection Agent * The author's "best guess" is that Robin Gardiner was linked to Lloyd's of London and hired to "throw White Star Lines under the bus". * Since White Star no longer exists, it could serve as a convenient "fall guy" while misdirecting attention away from Lloyd's and other parties. * Key Takeaway Point 4: Lloyd's as a Potential Architect of the Fraud * The overall implication is that the Titanic fraud was "a con run by the insurance companies themselves". * Gardiner's work, by focusing on White Star Lines, may have inadvertently helped whitewash or misdirect from Lloyd's true involvement.
IX. Source * Key Takeaway Point 1: Lloyd's Involvement in Insuring the Twin Towers on 9/11 * Tellingly, Lloyd's was also involved in insuring the Twin Towers on 9/11 and paid out to Larry Silverstein. * This connection introduces a new perspective on the 9/11 event, suggesting insurer involvement in that fraud. * Key Takeaway Point 2: Titanic and 9/11 as Analogous Frauds * The author argues that the 9/11 event "looks like the Titanic event, from the point of both the insured and the insurer". * Both events are suggested to involve getting rid of unprofitable or non-code-compliant buildings/ships that would be ruinously expensive to fix. * Key Takeaway Point 3: Insurers' Failure to Investigate Anomalies * It is considered "odd" that Lloyd's, with its extensive intelligence gathering department, failed to discover anomalies regarding the Twin Towers and never brought them up in court. * This implies a deliberate lack of investigation by the insurers. * Key Takeaway Point 4: Connection to the Sasse Scandal * The Twin Towers incident is likened to the Sasse scandal, where "risks written were rigged" for dilapidated buildings that subsequently burned down after being heavily insured. * This suggests a recurring pattern of large-scale insurance cons.
X. Source * Key Takeaway Point 1: Abandonment of Second and Third-Class Bodies * Canadian ships, arriving after the Carpathia, allegedly found too many bodies to collect. * Captain Larnder of the Mackay-Bennett decided to preserve only first-class passenger bodies, dumping second and third-class passengers and crew back into the sea. * Key Takeaway Point 2: Impossibility of Identifying Class for Body Recovery * The method of determining class for body recovery is questioned, with the author asking how Captain Larnder knew who was from what class or if they still had ticket stubs. * The suggestion that they only pulled in those "wearing tuxedos or top hats" highlights the absurdity. * Key Takeaway Point 3: Lack of Identification for Collected Bodies * Despite selectively collecting only "wealthy-looking" individuals, one-third of the recovered bodies were never identified or claimed. * Almost half of the 306 bodies gathered (150) were never collected or claimed and were buried in a mass grave in Halifax. * Key Takeaway Point 4: Evidence of Non-Existent Passengers * The author states that the dumping of second and third-class bodies indicates they "never existed," and there is "no proof of their existence, or at least of their deaths". * The fact that so many recovered bodies remained unclaimed, despite being supposedly wealthy, is presented as proof that the event was fake.
XI. Source * Key Takeaway Point 1: Benjamin Guggenheim's Alleged Refusal to Board Lifeboat * Benjamin Guggenheim is famously said to have refused to board lifeboat 9, despite empty seats, choosing instead to "bravely" go down with the ship after changing into evening wear. * His quote, "We will soon see each other again! It's just a repair. Tomorrow the Titanic will go on again," is cited from the New York Times, April 20, 1912. * Key Takeaway Point 2: Lifeboat 9 Had Numerous Empty Seats * Lifeboat 9, a large wooden lifeboat with a capacity of 65 people, only carried 22 people when it lowered, leaving 43 empty seats. * There was no struggle for extra seats by women or children of any class on this lifeboat. * Key Takeaway Point 3: Discrepancy in Recovery of Prominent Bodies * Despite Captain Larnder allegedly recovering 306 "first-class-looking bodies," Guggenheim's body was never retrieved or identified. * This is presented as "amazing," given that only 118 men from first class died and 154 from second class died. * Key Takeaway Point 4: The Narrative of Gallantry is Questioned * The author directly asks why Guggenheim, if truly facing death, wouldn't have simply boarded the lifeboat with the women. * The entire story of him changing into evening wear and calmly awaiting death is dismissed as "hogwash" given the availability of lifeboat space.
XII. Source * Key Takeaway Point 1: Titanic's Location and Iceberg Impossibility * The Titanic's path suggests she was never far enough north to hit an iceberg in mid-April. * The Titanic site is at about the same latitude as New York City or Madrid, Spain, or Rome, Italy, specifically 41.7° north. * Key Takeaway Point 2: Warmth of the Gulf Stream * The Gulfstream is warm and moves north in the North Atlantic, with surface temperatures ranging from 15°C (almost 60°F) to 25°C (77°F) where the Titanic was located. * Ships purposefully follow the Gulfstream across the Atlantic. * Key Takeaway Point 3: Historical Absence of Icebergs at this Latitude * Ships simply don't hit icebergs at 41.7° N in mid-April in the Gulfstream. * No ship before the Titanic ever had, and the author asserts the Titanic didn't either. * Key Takeaway Point 4: Geographical Discrepancy of Iceberg Alley * For the Titanic to encounter icebergs in April, it would have had to be hundreds of miles off-course, up north by Newfoundland, in the Labrador Current area. * The Titanic wasn't within 400 miles of this area, contradicting the idea of hitting an iceberg.
XIII. Source * Key Takeaway Point 1: The Alleged Iceberg Photo is a Fake * The photo presented as the iceberg that hit the Titanic is deemed an "obvious fake". * The image lacks resolution and depth of field, and the water "looks fake". * Key Takeaway Point 2: Inconsistent Lighting in the Photo * The lighting on the iceberg makes no sense, with light appearing to come from low and right on one part, but not matching other facets. * This suggests the image was "faked by someone who had never studied light falling on an object". * Key Takeaway Point 3: Iceberg Size and Collision Force Contradiction * The iceberg in the photo doesn't look large enough to sink the Titanic, especially if it only left "a red smudge". * A 50,000-ton ship at 25 mph would easily split an iceberg of that size, burying ship pieces in it or causing explosions on the iceberg's front. * Key Takeaway Point 4: Collision Story Inconsistencies * Survivor stories claim some felt the hit while others slept through it, suggesting a "glancing blow" by a submerged iceberg. * However, stopping a 50,000-ton object from 25 mph cold would cause enormous devastation to both ship and iceberg, implying no one would have slept through it or survived.
XIV. Source * Key Takeaway Point 1: Inconsistencies in the Carpathia Rescue Narrative * The mainstream story admits the Carpathia arrived less than two hours after the Titanic went down. * This raises the question of why the Carpathia couldn't rescue people in lifevests, and why Canadian ships had to find them all dead days later. * Key Takeaway Point 2: Lie About Water Temperature and Freezing Deaths * The mainstream story claims people froze to death in less than two hours, due to a water temperature of -2°C (28°F). * However, the Gulfstream graphic contradicts this, showing water temperatures of 50 or 60°F (15°C) in the Titanic's area, which is cold but not fatal in under two hours. * Key Takeaway Point 3: The Movie Titanic Perpetuates Falsehoods * The movie Titanic is described as having been made to "push again all these old lies," such as characters freezing to death in icy water. * The author points out that Leonardo DiCaprio's character would have been floating in NASA's "warm" Gulfstream at 41.7° N latitude, not in freezing water. * Key Takeaway Point 4: Propaganda through Children's Books * The children's book Polar the Titanic Bear, allegedly written by a survivor in 1913 and published in 1994, is cited as another "Intel project". * The involvement of Scholastic Books, known for Harry Potter and The Hunger Games, further suggests intelligence agency involvement in promoting the narrative.
XV. Source * Key Takeaway Point 1: The Titanic Never Sank, was Refitted as Imperator * The author concludes that the Titanic never sank at all. * Instead, it was simply refitted and stored in Hamburg during the war, posing as the SS Imperator. * Key Takeaway Point 2: Robin Gardiner's Book Title is "Correct" but Misleading * Robin Gardiner's book title, Titanic: the Ship that Never Sank, is acknowledged as correct. * However, Gardiner is accused of misleading readers into thinking the Olympic sank instead, whereas the author claims no ship sank that day. * Key Takeaway Point 3: The Entire Titanic Story was a Hoax for Insurance Scams * The entire Titanic story is described as a hoax. * It was allegedly run as cover for a series of insurance scams "far beyond" what Gardiner suggests. * Key Takeaway Point 4: Imperator's "Makeovers" and Design Flaws as Evidence of Fraud * The Imperator allegedly received many makeovers, including a reduction in smokestack height in October 1913, purportedly for its center of gravity. * The author argues that shorter smokestacks would actually weigh less, raising the ship and making the story nonsensical, suggesting this modification was "further indication of the fraud".
XVI. Source * Key Takeaway Point 1: Tourist Submersible Incident as a New Manufactured Fake * The loss of the tourist sub is presented as a new fake story, manufactured by the CIA to resell the old Titanic narrative. * The storyline is likened to "child lost down a well" tales, designed to make people believe a real wreck is down there and that wealthy tourists paid $250,000 to see it. * Key Takeaway Point 2: The Submersible Appears to be a Hollywood Prop * The sub itself doesn't look real, with its specs and interior being questioned. * It is described as more like a "Hollywood prop," guided by a $30 plastic game controller and having interior lighting from Camper World. * Key Takeaway Point 3: Contract Reveals Lack of Certification * A video reading of the contract admits the sub is "not approved or certified by any regulatory body," which the author views as proof the whole thing is a fake. * The author implies this is part of a "conjob," where they are required to tell you they are conning you. * Key Takeaway Point 4: Discrepancies in Submersible Pricing and Design Claims * An earlier 2018 article lists the price at $105,129, which doesn't match the current $250,000 without implausible inflation. * The CEO, Stockton Rush, is shown on video bragging about using expired carbon fiber from Boeing, a claim Boeing later denied, further confirming the fake.

The provided text from "Joachim Bartoll Official" discusses the connection between carbohydrate consumption and neurodegenerative conditions like dementia and Alzheimer's. It argues that excessive glycogen accumulation in the brain, resulting from high carbohydrate intake, can lead to tau-related damage, which impairs brain function. The author posits that humans are naturally adapted to a fat- and protein-rich diet (carnivore), leading to ketosis and efficient brain fuel from ketones, and that relying on carbohydrates as a primary energy source is an "unnatural fuel" that ultimately causes widespread bodily damage. Furthermore, the source asserts that these conditions are not "diseases" in the traditional sense, but rather "self-inflicted" issues caused by poor diet and nutrient deficiencies, especially a lack of animal fats. The author offers coaching and consultation for transitioning to a species-appropriate diet as a solution.
Here are 30 key takeaways from the sources, presented in a structured manner:
Tau-Related Damage From Carbohydrates Can Contribute to Dementia And Alzheimer’s by Joachim Bartoll
High carbohydrate intake and unused glycogen contribute to tau-related damage, potentially causing or progressing dementia and Alzheimer's.
"Today we’ll visit Science Daily and a new study on dementia and Alzheimer’s and how unused glycogen (stored glucose) can cause tau-related damage that causes or progresses these so-called “diseases.”"
"If high carbohydrate intake keeps the brain in a glucose-dependent state, preventing ketosis, and if unused glycogen contributes to tau-related damage, then long-term carbohydrate diets will increase neurodegenerative risk."
The brain's sugar metabolism is identified as a surprising player in the battle against Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.
"A new study from scientists at the Buck Institute for Research for Research on Aging has revealed a surprising player in the battle against Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia: brain sugar metabolism."
"Published in Nature Metabolism, the research uncovers how breaking down glycogen — a stored form of glucose — in neurons may protect the brain from toxic protein buildup and degeneration.”"
Breaking down stored glycogen in neurons can protect the brain from toxic protein buildup and degeneration.
"Published in Nature Metabolism, the research uncovers how breaking down glycogen — a stored form of glucose — in neurons may protect the brain from toxic protein buildup and degeneration.”"
"If you understand this, and likely you already did, you have already figured out why the breakdown of glycogen is normal and healthy, while the opposite, not utilizing this glycogen and the glycogen stores always being full may cause damage — and why this happens, which should not be hard to figure out considering the backwards modern diet and today’s retarded pseudo-scientific diet recommendations."
Humans are obligate hyper carnivores, naturally adapted to rely on fat as their main fuel source and be in various states of ketosis.
"Remember, humans are obligate hyper carnivores and we are supposed to be fat adapted and be in various states of ketosis for most of our lives."
"In ketosis, we rely on fat as our main source of fuel and we produce both glucose to cover our needs and also ketones that are a more efficient fuel than fat and glucose for the brain, and also the heart and our muscles."
Ketone bodies are a more efficient fuel than fat and glucose for the brain, heart, and muscles.
"It does work better with a lot of ketones, but glucose is still the larger “fuel” source."
"In ketosis, we rely on fat as our main source of fuel and we produce both glucose to cover our needs and also ketones that are a more efficient fuel than fat and glucose for the brain, and also the heart and our muscles."
The brain's small glycogen stores serve as an immediate backup mechanism for low ketone levels or spikes in energy needs.
"The brain’s glycogen is limited, but it’s still present — why would the brain need its own glycogen if it can use ketones and rely on gluconeogenesis for glucose? Simple."
"If ketone production lags or energy needs spike, the brain’s small glycogen stores can be broken down quickly to provide glucose, much quicker than absorbing blood glucose that is present due to gluconeogenesis."
The continuous utilization and depletion of brain glycogen stores is a normal and healthy state, minimizing damage to tau proteins.
"If you understand this, and likely you already did, you have already figured out why the breakdown of glycogen is normal and healthy, while the opposite, not utilizing this glycogen and the glycogen stores always being full may cause damage — and why this happens, which should not be hard to figure out considering the backwards modern diet and today’s retarded pseudo-scientific diet recommendations."
"In other words, our natural state is to fill up and deplete these glycogen stores on a continuous basis, minimizing any damage to the tau proteins."
Excessive glycogen accumulation in neurons contributes to the progression of tauopathy, including Alzheimer's.
"The research team, led by postdoc Sudipta Bar, PhD, discovered that in both fly and human models of tauopathy (a group of neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s), neurons accumulate excessive glycogen."
"More importantly, this buildup appears to contribute to disease progression."
Abnormally elevated blood glucose levels, primarily caused by consuming carbohydrates, lead to excessive glycogen.
"And what causes excessive glycogen? Yes, abnormally elevated blood glucose levels, as in consuming carbohydrates."
"And even worse, if this is repeated several times a day, every day for the most of your life — the damage will be immense on your whole body, as we already know, and the brain is not excluded, as we now can see."
The tau protein, essential for neuronal stability, physically binds to glycogen when it accumulates excessively, trapping it and preventing its breakdown.
"Bar says tau, the infamous protein that clumps into tangles in Alzheimer’s patients, appears to physically bind to glycogen, trapping it and preventing its breakdown.”"
"It is primarily expressed by neurons in the brain and is involved in stabilizing microtubules, which are essential for maintaining the structure and function of axons, and their dysfunction is a hallmark of Alzheimer’s, leading to tangles that impair brain function."
High carbohydrate intake keeps the brain in a glucose-dependent state, preventing ketosis and increasing neurodegenerative risk due to unused glycogen.
"If high carbohydrate intake keeps the brain in a glucose-dependent state, preventing ketosis, and if unused glycogen contributes to tau-related damage, then long-term carbohydrate diets will increase neurodegenerative risk."
"When glycogen can’t be broken down, the neurons lose an essential mechanism for managing oxidative stress, a key feature in aging and neurodegeneration."
Restoring the activity of the enzyme called glycogen phosphorylase (GlyP) can reduce tau-related damage.
"By restoring the activity of an enzyme called glycogen phosphorylase (GlyP) — which kicks off the process of glycogen breakdown — the researchers found they could reduce tau-related damage in fruit flies and human stem cell-derived neurons.”"
"Kapahi says this study not only highlights glycogen metabolism as an unexpected hero in the brain but also opens up a new direction in the search for treatments against Alzheimer’s and related diseases."
An abundance of glucose negates the need for stored glycogen in the brain, leading to it sitting around and causing damage to tau proteins.
"Again, if there is an abundance of glucose there is no need for that stored glycogen."
"It will simply sit around and cause damage to the tau proteins."
Following a natural human species-specific diet of animal fats and protein allows reliance on fats, ketones, and gluconeogenesis, supporting healthy glycogen utilization.
"However, if you follow our natural human species-specific and species-appropriate diet of animal fats and protein, you will rely on fats, ketones and glucose manufactured via gluconeogenesis, and every time you move about or go without food for a while, ketones might drop a little and that glycogen in the brain will be used up while adjusting to use more of the blood glucose instead."
"In other words, our natural state is to fill up and deplete these glycogen stores on a continuous basis, minimizing any damage to the tau proteins."
Using drugs to activate or supply glycogen phosphorylase (GlyP) is only a temporary "band-aid solution" if carbohydrates continue to be consumed.
"Using drugs to activate or supply glycogen phosphorylase (GlyP) is only a band-aid solution."
"Simply trying to force glycogen phosphorylase (GlyP) to work while still consuming carbohydrates and keeping blood glucose high will only be a temporary solution for the brain, but as we know, elevated blood glucose damages all our soft tissues and organs, so overall bodily damage will still continue to accumulate, which is extremely retarded."
Elevated blood glucose damages all soft tissues and organs, meaning overall bodily damage continues even if brain issues are temporarily addressed.
"And even worse, if this is repeated several times a day, every day for the most of your life — the damage will be immense on your whole body, as we already know, and the brain is not excluded, as we now can see."
"Simply trying to force glycogen phosphorylase (GlyP) to work while still consuming carbohydrates and keeping blood glucose high will only be a temporary solution for the brain, but as we know, elevated blood glucose damages all our soft tissues and organs, so overall bodily damage will still continue to accumulate, which is extremely retarded."
The brain's glycogen metabolism functions properly when an individual is in their natural fat-adapted state and ketosis.
"The brain’s glycogen metabolism only works when you are in your natural fat adapted state and in ketosis, which is what we are built for."
"While we can tolerate carbohydrates as a back-up fuel when facing lack of proper food or a famine, we are not meant to consume carbs or any plant matter for longer periods of time."
Carbohydrates are an emergency or backup fuel that inflict damage when consumed for longer periods, as they are not part of humanity's natural diet.
"While we can tolerate carbohydrates as a back-up fuel when facing lack of proper food or a famine, we are not meant to consume carbs or any plant matter for longer periods of time."
"It’s an emergency solution and every time we reach for it we will inflict damage since it’s not our natural diet."
The prevalence of "modern diseases" that were uncommon a century ago is linked to humanity being deceived into continuous carbohydrate consumption.
"Simply because we can tolerate something short term does not mean that we should consume it all the time."
"Unfortunately, that is what most of humanity has been deceived into doing, and now we pay the price with hundreds of “modern diseases” that were unheard of only a century ago."
Even if a high-carb diet doesn't lead to dementia before death, it can still cause severe and unnecessary damage to other parts of the body.
"Sure, if you’re active and only consume a few meals a day of carbohydrates, allowing for a fasted window during sleep, the damage to the brain will be much less and you will likely not develop dementia or Alzheimer’s before you die, but the damage done to other parts of the body will still be severe and totally unnecessary."
"And this is why we see these “diseases” more and more among the elderly who previously were perfectly healthy, as they become inactive and rely more on convenient foods than nourishing foods, especially if placed in an elderly home where the food is atrocious."
Inactivity and reliance on convenient rather than nourishing foods, especially in elderly homes, contribute to the increased incidence of dementia and Alzheimer's.
"And this is why we see these “diseases” more and more among the elderly who previously were perfectly healthy, as they become inactive and rely more on convenient foods than nourishing foods, especially if placed in an elderly home where the food is atrocious."
"While following an inappropriate diet and never entering ketosis will slowly damage the brain, another important factor in the development of dementia, Alzheimer’s and other brain-related conditions are nutrient deficiencies, and especially the lack of animal fats such as cholesterol and omega-3."
Nutrient deficiencies, particularly the lack of animal fats like cholesterol and omega-3, are important factors in the development of dementia and other brain conditions.
"While following an inappropriate diet and never entering ketosis will slowly damage the brain, another important factor in the development of dementia, Alzheimer’s and other brain-related conditions are nutrient deficiencies, and especially the lack of animal fats such as cholesterol and omega-3."
"If you do not get enough cholesterol and omega-3, your brain cannot heal, nor can it function properly."
Without sufficient cholesterol and omega-3 from animal fats, the brain cannot heal or function properly.
"If you do not get enough cholesterol and omega-3, your brain cannot heal, nor can it function properly."
"And if you already are damaging your brain and tau proteins with constant filled glycogen stores, the lack of animal fats will stop any healing and these conditions will progress much faster."
A combination of constant filled glycogen stores and a lack of animal fats accelerates the progression of dementia and other brain conditions.
"And if you already are damaging your brain and tau proteins with constant filled glycogen stores, the lack of animal fats will stop any healing and these conditions will progress much faster."
"Again, look at many elderly today and their poor diets while becoming sedentary."
The problems of dementia and Alzheimer's are direct results of an inappropriate diet high in carbohydrates and lacking in animal-based foods, confirming humans as obligate hyper carnivores.
"And again, it simply shows that humans are obligate hyper carnivores, as these problems are only the result of an inappropriate diet high in carbohydrates and lacking in animal-based foods."
"And this is why we should not call these conditions “diseases” or put them into pathology, as they are driven by toxic damage and nutrient deficiencies from following an inappropriate diet."
Dementia and Alzheimer's should not be classified as "diseases" or pathologies, but rather as self-inflicted conditions caused by toxic damage and nutrient deficiencies from inappropriate diet and lifestyle choices.
"And this is why we should not call these conditions “diseases” or put them into pathology, as they are driven by toxic damage and nutrient deficiencies from following an inappropriate diet."
"They’re not diseases, they’re caused by your choice of diet and lifestyle."
Disease is defined as an abnormal condition resulting from various causes like infection, inflammation, environmental factors, or genetic defect, characterized by identifiable signs or symptoms.
"Disease is defined as an abnormal condition of a part, organ, or system of an organism resulting from various causes, such as infection, inflammation, environmental factors, or genetic defect, and characterized by an identifiable group of signs, symptoms, or both."
"They’re not diseases, they’re caused by your choice of diet and lifestyle."
The author, Joachim Bartoll, offers coaching and consultation services for transitioning to a natural, species-appropriate, animal-based way of eating.
"If you need help with any kind of health problems or transitioning from your current way of eating to our natural species-appropriate, species-specific way of eating, I’m available for both coaching and consultation."

Here are 20 key takeaways regarding China's approach to the Middle East, drawing directly from the provided sources:
**Understanding China's approach to the Middle East - Tom Fowdy Media Narrative of China's "Lack of Leverage": Following the confrontation between Iran and Israel, a number of media outlets quickly began pushing the narrative that China's lack of role in the conflict revealed its "lack of leverage" in the region. As stated in a report in Al Jazeera, various analysts claimed that Beijing sought to position itself as a mediator and seek peace, but that it was ultimately ignored.
Fundamental Differences in Foreign Policy Doctrine: China has a very different approach to the Middle East than the United States, which itself is derived from a different meta basis in foreign policy doctrine between the two powers. Although both the United States and China view their relationship with the Middle East as critically important, and thus necessitate involvement in the region, this is where the comparison ends.
Distinct Methodologies, Outlooks, and Goals: The methodology, outlook and goals of the United States and China concerning the Middle East are completely different.
United States' Militaristic and Hegemonic Approach: The United States views its relationship with the Middle East through militarism and hegemony. Washington believes that in order to secure its interests in the region it must control the overall security architecture and present itself as a security guarantor.
US Strategy of Regional Division: In order to sustain the need for its status as a security guarantor, the United States actively seeks to divide the region into "blocs" on an "us vs them" basis so it can present itself as protector and arms supplier.
US Uses Strategic Competition Against Iran: Since the War on Terror strategy ended with the first Trump administration in 2018, the US has subsequently sought to use strategic competition for regional dominance against Iran as its primary strategic justification for regional intervention.
US Opposition to Regional Unity: The United States does not want the region to be able to form its own unified, integrated system of diplomacy, regionalism, or reconciliation. It aims to use conflict to sustain division and bloc reproachment.
Global Pattern of US Intervention: This strategy of sparring conflict and tensions in order to justify its continued engagement and power is, so to speak, the US strategy the world over. This pattern has been observed in both Europe (with Russia) and Asia (with China).
China Rejects Militarism and "Bloc" Approach: China, on the other hand, rejects a militarist and "bloc" approach to Middle East politics. Beijing prefers to cultivate individual bilateral relationships on good terms with each player.
China's Non-Alignment and Preference for Diplomacy: China, through its longstanding foreign policy doctrine of non-alignment, prefers stability and unity through diplomacy in the region. It avoids placing a military presence there.
China Builds Strategic Partnerships Across Divides: Beijing prefers to cultivate individual bilateral relationships on good terms with each player, including building strategic partnerships with seemingly contradictory players, such as both Iran and Saudi Arabia.
China Seeks to Utilize Diplomacy for Reconciliation: China seeks to utilize diplomacy to bring seemingly contradictory players like Iran and Saudi Arabia together, as per the famous deal.
China's Lack of Military "Teeth" Does Not Imply Irrelevance: While China's diplomatic approach does not give it military "teeth" on the ground like the United States has, it does not make it irrelevant.
China Supports Regional States' Sovereignty: China's presence already has allowed many states in the region, such as the Gulf States, to better preserve their sovereign decision making. This helps them prevent strategic dependency on the United States.
China's Approach Prevents Instability and US Hegemony: If China were to adopt a militaristic approach, this would only promulgate regional instability and even conflict further. Such an action would further enable the US as a hegemonic force who would absolutely frame the situation in the region in more overt ideological terms.
China's Anti-Hegemonic Stance: On the contrary, China's position is anti-hegemonic by nature of its refusal to engage in Middle East wars. It insists on reconciliation and diplomacy as the point of resolution.
China as a "Voice of Reason": China holds its cards well; therefore every player can engage with Beijing without sensitive lines being crossed. Thus, China stands as a voice of reason: friends to all, enemies to none.
China Not Obligated by US Decisions: Beijing is also not accountable, or obligated to illustrate its power for the decisions made by the United States.
China Aims to Avoid Global Cold War Escalation: The fundamental strategy of China's foreign policy is to avoid global cold war. It aims not to escalate one by making regional spats worse and enabling the worst hawks in Washington.
The Wisdom of Restraint: Sometimes, there is wisdom in restraint.
welcome to the lenny and Maria sanchez deep dive podcast show.
Today, we delve into a collection of thought-provoking articles that challenge mainstream narratives across geopolitics, economics, and public health. Please note, we are drawing from nine distinct articles provided in our source material, not twelve as originally specified in the query.
First, let's explore "A Forceful Russian Response to NATO Recklessness, by Ron Unz." This article contends that Russia has faced significant Western-backed provocations, including drone attacks on its strategic bomber fleet and alleged attempts on President Putin's life. Despite its military doctrine allowing for a nuclear response to such conventional strikes on its nuclear arsenal, Russia has chosen a limited retaliation, primarily larger waves of drone and missile strikes against Ukrainian targets, to avoid greater escalation. The author argues that this Russian restraint, despite possessing strategic military superiority with unstoppable hypersonic missiles, is largely nullified by the West's dominant "media mind-control". This media power, exemplified by the Nord Stream pipeline destruction being falsely attributed to Ukrainian activists, blinds Western populations and elites to true realities and Russian strength. To break this cycle, the article proposes a bold, non-lethal strategy: Russia should publicly announce a hypersonic missile strike against NATO Headquarters in Brussels, providing advance warning for evacuation. This calculated demonstration would be globally visible, proving the ineffectiveness of NATO defenses against Russian hypersonics, potentially shattering the alliance, and exposing the inefficiencies of Western military spending without causing unnecessary casualties.
Next, we turn to "Donald Rumsfeld’s hidden role in the development of Moderna’s covid injection," which presents a striking claim: the COVID and SARS pandemics were deliberately released from laboratories at the behest of pharmaceutical giants and governments for profit. The article identifies Donald Rumsfeld, a former US Secretary of Defense, as a central figure in this scheme, operating on a "create the problem, then profit from the solution" business model. It details how Rumsfeld leveraged his political and corporate ties, particularly with Searle Pharmaceuticals and Gilead Sciences, to influence policy and profit from biological threats. The author alleges that the influx of bio-defense funding after 9/11 provided a "fiscal windfall" for Rumsfeld, who then pushed to exploit loopholes in the Biological Weapons Convention, citing "trade secrets" to prevent verification. Professor Ralph Baric is named as the "biological mastermind," whose Pentagon-funded research developed engineered coronaviruses, including precursors to SARS-CoV-2, which were capable of replication and designed to leave no trace of lab origin. The article details how DARPA's strategy under Rumsfeld involved funding EcoHealth Alliance for global virus collection, supporting Baric's lab for virus engineering, and allying with companies like Moderna for rapid vaccine development. It concludes that the rapid, unverified rollout of vaccines by companies like Moderna and Pfizer, generating billions in revenue, reflects this "textbook wealth-extraction model" pioneered by Rumsfeld.
Our third discussion focuses on "Multipolarity: a world reborn, by Walt King." This piece asserts that the global landscape is undergoing a monumental shift, signaling the end of 500 years of Western dominance and the emergence of a multipolar world. The United States, having been the undisputed world leader since World War II, is now facing a rising China, whose economic and manufacturing capabilities have surpassed the US in terms of purchasing power. The article claims that Western foreign policy, particularly that of the US and its allies like the UK, is heavily influenced by "Zionist" interests, driven by financial contributions and blackmail (with the Jeffrey Epstein case cited as an example). This influence, the author argues, dictates Western support for Israel's "genocidal" actions against Palestinians, despite widespread global condemnation. China's control over critical resources like rare earth elements further highlights its strategic leverage. The article concludes that the world is undeniably moving towards a multipolar system, championed by BRICS nations and China's Belt and Road Initiative, which the West must eventually adapt to or risk historical irrelevance.
Fourth, we turn to "President Trump: Seize Your Opportunity to be the Greatest American President in History," by Paul Craig Roberts. This article posits that the escalating global violence, including attacks on Russia's strategic triad, threatens nuclear war, and President Trump has a unique chance to avert this catastrophe. The author praises Putin for "side-stepping" a direct military response to provocations, acknowledging this humane approach, but warns it might also embolden further aggression. The article suggests that Trump's decision to bomb Iranian nuclear sites and subsequently declare them "obliterated" was a "brilliant" maneuver to remove Prime Minister Netanyahu's justification for war with Iran. Roberts argues that this opens a path for peace in the Middle East, ending a quarter-century of costly US wars fought for Israel's benefit. To solidify his legacy as the greatest president, Trump is urged to publicly repudiate the neoconservative Zionist doctrine of US hegemony (the Wolfowitz Doctrine) and to tell Israel that its pursuit of "Greater Israel" will no longer receive US support, thereby "pushing back the minute hand of the doomsday clock".
Our fifth piece is "Pride Remains a Sin," by J.B. Shurk. This article expresses a strong negative view of "Pride Month," labeling it a "pagan festival of debauchery" and condemning the public displays associated with it. The author contends that society has been degraded over the last three decades by "sexual overindulgence and exploitation," facilitated by "Democrat-controlled" institutions, including teachers' unions and medical associations, which are accused of indoctrinating young people and promoting "transing" children. The article claims that while gay rights advocates initially sought compassion, they now "harass" those with differing viewpoints and work to "get Christians fired from their jobs". It criticizes the double standard where disrespect for the American flag by "foreign nationals" is tolerated, but minor acts against "rainbow-flag-painted intersections" are treated as "profound offenses to the State". The author argues that "deluded empathy" and "political correctness" are used as weapons by the left to enforce "gay idolatry" and censor dissent, leading to a feeling of alienation among many Americans.
Next, we analyze "The Coming of a Stable Coin 'Wildcat' Money Marketized Excise Tax?" by Wayne Lusvardi. This article warns of a significant impending financial transformation: the replacement of the US dollar with "programmable Stable Coins," driven by pending Congressional legislation to address the national debt. The author argues that this shift will effectively act as a "disguised excise tax" because consumers will be compelled to purchase these Stable Coins from designated investment houses or large corporations, which must then back them with Treasury Bills. This "programmed money" system is predicted to lead to capital contraction and deflation in goods and services, as it will restrict personal debt and loans, and is compared to the unstable "wildcat banking" era that led to the Panic of 1837. The article suggests that a major crisis, potentially manufactured and supported by "mass media predictive programming," will be used to justify this compulsory financial transition. It also notes that historically, during hyperinflationary periods, traditional portfolios of stocks and bonds have significantly underperformed compared to productive farmland and commodities futures.
Our seventh source is "The Explosion of Jewish Fatigue Syndrome" by Donald Jeffries. This article introduces the concept of "Jewish Fatigue Syndrome" (JFS), describing it as a growing "intellectual impatience" among the US populace arising from the "wildly disproportionate Jewish power" in the country. The author criticizes the constant flow of "reverential Holocaust dramas" and the narrative of Jews as "God's chosen people," suggesting these have become an "industry" that is now generating public weariness. Jeffries argues that US foreign policy in the Middle East, leading to wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, and against Iran, has been exclusively in "Israeli interests," driven by Jewish control over major Hollywood studios, television networks, record companies, and publishing houses. The article challenges the use of "anti-Semitism" as a label to deflect criticism, stating that the term has become "meaningless" and "inaccurate" as it is misapplied to those defending Arab populations, who are themselves Semitic.
Eighth, we examine "The Orchestrated War? What The US-Iran-Israel Conflict Might Really Mean." This source presents the recent US-Iran-Israel conflict as a highly controlled and "choreographed" series of events, rather than uncontrolled aggression. The author points out that advance warnings were exchanged between the US and Iran through diplomatic channels, defense systems were prepared, and no civilian casualties were reported in the direct strikes, leading to an immediate ceasefire and planned nuclear talks. This pattern of "strike, response, and sudden negotiation" is described as a familiar "playbook of managed conflicts," with high-profile historical examples like the Gulf War and US airstrikes in Syria. The article raises critical questions about who truly benefits from a conflict that stops short of full-scale war, whether it's about deterrence or distraction, and if citizens are merely an "audience" to a pre-written "script".
Finally, we have "Trust Lost In Banking System & US Dollar" by Mark Thornton. While the excerpt provided is brief, the title and context reflect a broader concern articulated by this author and others in the financial sphere: a growing lack of confidence and stability within the current banking system and the value of the US dollar. This suggests a foundational instability that underpins other proposed financial transformations.
thank you for listening to another session of the lenny and Maria sanchez deep dive podcast show produced and archived at the website daily briefs dot info.
Here are the key takeaways from the provided sources, presented in a structured format:
I. A Forceful Russian Response to NATO Recklessness by Ron Unz
Russia has faced significant Western-backed provocations, including drone attacks on its strategic bomber fleet and alleged attempts on President Putin's life, yet has shown restraint in retaliation.
On June 1st, the world was astonished to hear that Russia’s strategic bomber fleet, one of the three legs of its vital nuclear deterrent triad, had suddenly been attacked by a huge wave of advanced explosive drones, which targeted five major airbases deep in the interior of that enormous country.
Foregoing any nuclear response, they have merely retaliated with larger waves of the same drone and missile strikes that they have been regularly launching against Ukrainian targets for the last several years.
Western media dominance effectively nullifies Russia's strategic military superiority, blinding populations and elites to real-world power dynamics.
America and its close allies possess overwhelming dominance over the global media, allowing them to shape the perceived reality of much of the world’s population, ruling elites included.
For such superiority to have any influence, it must be recognized as such, and if media power blinds both Western populations and their elites to that important reality, the impact is largely eliminated.
The destruction of the Nord Stream pipelines, an act of war against Germany, was misattributed by Western media, illustrating the power of "media mind-control."
A huge underwater explosion soon destroyed those pipelines, with Blinken, Nuland, and other leaders then crowing about the great benefits for America and gleefully declaring that the pipelines were now merely “a hunk of metal on the bottom of the sea”.
As far as I can tell, Western media mind-control has ensured that an overwhelming majority of Germans and other Europeans have still remained completely unaware of what had happened.
Russia's proposed strategy to deter NATO involves a public, pre-warned hypersonic missile strike on NATO Headquarters in Brussels to demonstrate its unstoppable military power without casualties, aiming to shatter the alliance.
The Russians could announce their plans for a hypersonic missile strike against the NATO headquarters building in Brussels, Belgium, with the attack scheduled for 12 noon in three days’ time.
Providing NATO with plenty of time to evacuate the building and those nearby would prove that Russia sought to absolutely minimize any loss of life, thereby refuting years of inflammatory Western propaganda.
The author suggests that American aircraft carriers would be highly vulnerable to Russian hypersonic attacks, which could lead to a collapse of the US dollar and the American political regime.
Our country’s global power-projection relies very heavily upon these carriers, whose military credibility supports our inflated US dollar.
If several of those carriers were easily sunk, that credibility would be lost, probably causing a collapse in the dollar.
II. Donald Rumsfeld’s hidden role in the development of Moderna’s covid injection by Rhoda Wilson
The COVID and SARS pandemics are alleged to have been deliberately released from laboratories at the behest of pharmaceutical giants and governments for profit.
The covid and SARS pandemics were deliberately released from laboratories at the behest of pharmaceutical giants and governments, with the goal of profiting from the sale of vaccines and treatments.
Pharmaceutical companies and financial institutions have profited significantly from the covid pandemic, with Rumsfeld’s business model of “create the problem, then profit from the solution” being present throughout.
Donald Rumsfeld, former US Secretary of Defense, is identified as a central figure who leveraged his political and corporate ties to influence bio-defense policy and profit from biological threats.
Donald Rumsfeld, a former US Secretary of Defence, is identified as a key figure in this scheme, with ties to pharmaceutical companies such as Gilead Sciences and Searle Pharmaceuticals.
Rumsfeld’s connections to these companies and his role in shaping US policy on bio-defence and pandemic preparedness provide evidence of a corrupt system in which pharmaceutical giants and governments collaborate to engineer viral problems and peddle therapeutic solutions for profit.
Rumsfeld's strategy involved exploiting loopholes in the Biological Weapons Convention, citing "trade secrets" to prevent verification, and manipulating DARPA and NIAID funding for dual-use technologies.
To avoid regulations, Rumsfeld urged the Bush government to exploit the “loophole” in Article X of the Biological Weapons Convention (“BWC“).
By manipulating DARPA and NIAID, Rumsfeld orchestrated a perfect closed loop so that he could profit from fields such as bio-defence, pandemic preparedness and emerging infectious diseases.
Professor Ralph Baric is named as the "biological mastermind" whose Pentagon-funded research developed engineered coronaviruses, including precursors to SARS-CoV-2, designed to leave no trace of lab origin.
The biological mastermind behind Rumsfeld’s profit-driven bio-security agenda was Ralph Baric, a professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (“UNC“).
Baric explicitly stated that his “infectious constructs” were able to replicate themselves like real viruses. What’s more, Baric had found a way to assemble them seamlessly, with no trace of artifacts.
The rapid, unverified rollout of vaccines by companies like Moderna and Pfizer, generating billions in revenue, is presented as reflecting Rumsfeld's "textbook wealth-extraction model".
The covid outbreak in December 2019 prompted major pharmaceutical companies such as Gilead Sciences, Moderna, Pfizer and BioNTech to quickly roll out unverified, self-developed antiviral vaccines to capture astonishing profits.
The textbook wealth-extraction model he pioneered had been seamlessly adapted and conducted by the US government and its political partners, creating a shadow industry that profits from human suffering and global crises.
III. Multipolarity: a world reborn by Walt King
The article contends that the global landscape is undergoing a monumental shift, signaling the end of 500 years of Western dominance and the emergence of a multipolar world.
The time we live in will prove to be one of the great turning points in world history: nothing less than the close of 500 years of western domination of the rest of the world.
So we must break from this current world rule by a single dominant nation, the USA, running rampant under Jewish influence for more than a century, towards multipolarity, in which nations of the world work together rejecting conflict in mutual interest for the benefit of all.
China's economic and manufacturing capabilities, including control over critical resources like rare earth elements, have surpassed the US, highlighting its strategic leverage and challenging US hegemony.
In 45 years China had, in terms of purchasing power (currency real value), already overtaken the USA in terms of annual wealth.
The most publicised aspect has been China’s dominant control of the supply of the so called Rare Earth elements which are essential in the manufacture of nuclear-powered submarines, Tomahawk missiles, radar systems, unmanned aerial vehicles and smart bombs, and car manufacture in the USA, Europe, Japan, India and South Korea.
Western foreign policy, particularly that of the US and UK, is asserted to be heavily influenced by "Zionist" interests, driven by financial contributions and blackmail (e.g., Jeffrey Epstein case), dictating support for Israel's "genocidal" actions.
It is plain from the above that the state of Israel holds many Western politicians in its grasp by a combination of bribery and blackmail, and they in turn control the “straight” news media.
Western governments’ support for the Gaza genocide, then, is after all no mystery.
World opinion has turned against Israel and the US, with a significant increase in countries viewing China more favorably, due to widespread condemnation of Israel's actions in Gaza.
A recent opinion poll shows that 86% of the world now takes a kindlier view of China than they do of the USA.
The USA’s action was condemned by the UN Secretary General and the following governments (reported data at rt.com): Cuba, Venezuela, Chile, Qatar, Oman, China, Russia, Iraq, Pakistan, Indonesia, Colombia, Brazil, India, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, United Arab Emirates and Ethiopia.
The emerging multipolar system, championed by BRICS nations and China's Belt and Road Initiative, represents a future that the West must adapt to or face historical irrelevance.
The move is being led by China through BRICS, and its Belt and Road investment scheme.
The minority West now needs to abandon the hegemon and to join, or else be discarded into the dustbin of history.
IV. President Trump: Seize Your Opportunity to be the Greatest American President in History by Paul Craig Roberts
The escalating global violence, including attacks on Russia's strategic triad, threatens nuclear war, and President Trump has a unique chance to avert this catastrophe.
The violence that has been the primary characteristic of the 21sr century has reached a level of recklessness that threatens life on our planet.
At some point, it won’t be possible for Putin to side-step the provocation.
Trump's action of bombing Iranian nuclear sites and declaring them "obliterated" is presented as a "brilliant" maneuver to remove Netanyahu's justification for war with Iran, potentially opening a path for peace in the Middle East.
Trump in what might be an act of brilliance dropped the bombs on the Iranian sites and declared them obliterated whether they were or not, thereby removing Netanyahu’s only argument for war with Iran.
This opens a chance for peace in the Middle East after a quarter century of America’s wars against Arabs for Israel.
The author contends that US wars in the Middle East over the last quarter-century have been fought "for the exclusive benefit of Israel," disguised as "war on terror" or "bringing democracy".
Washington’s bombs have turned Iraq, Libya, and Syria into non-functioning states, and Hezbollah has been decapitated and cut off from supplies.
All of this is in their interests, not ours.
To achieve historical greatness, Trump is urged to publicly repudiate the neoconservative Zionist doctrine of US hegemony (the Wolfowitz Doctrine) and withdraw US support for Israel's "Greater Israel" ambitions.
Trump can renounce the Wolfowitz doctrine of American hegemony, and he can tell Netanyahu that if he sticks with Greater Israel, Israel goes it alone, that the United States will not establish for Israel at Americans’ lives and expense Israel’s hegemony over the Middle East.
All that Donald Trump needs to do to be known in history as America’s greatest president is to publicly repudiate the neoconservative Zionists’ doctrine of US hegemony and to tell Israel that if Israel continues to pursue its hegemony over the Middle East, it will do so without Washington’s support and with Washington’s opposition.
V. Pride Remains a Sin by J.B. Shurk
"Pride Month" is strongly criticized as a "pagan festival of debauchery" involving "X-rated acts of exhibitionism in front of children and strangers".
As June comes to an end, so does the pagan festival of debauchery known as “Pride Month”.
It would be nice if the LGBTQ+ crowd — or “Alphabet people” to those without a special letter designation — could enjoy their civil rights without resorting to X-rated acts of exhibitionism in front of children and strangers.
Society is seen as degraded by "sexual overindulgence and exploitation" over the last three decades, with "Democrat-controlled" institutions blamed for indoctrinating youth and promoting "transing" children.
Democrat-controlled teachers’ unions believe it’s “virtuous” to have drag queens dressed as strippers twerking in front of kindergartners during “story time”.
Sexual overindulgence and exploitation have defined the last thirty years.
Gay rights advocates are accused of harassing those with differing viewpoints and working to "get Christians fired from their jobs" after seizing cultural and political power.
Now the Alphabet Mafia harasses anyone with a differing viewpoint and works to get Christians fired from their jobs.
Yet as soon as those advocates seized the heights of cultural and political power, they showed no compassion at all.
A double standard is highlighted where disrespect for the American flag is tolerated, but minor acts against "rainbow-flag-painted intersections" are treated as "profound offenses to the State".
In Democrat-controlled cities around the country, mass riots in support of criminal illegal aliens routinely desecrate and burn the American flag.
On the other hand, whenever teenagers leave tread marks on rainbow-flag-painted intersections, Democrat officials treat such minor, rebellious incidents as if they were profound offenses to the State.
"Deluded empathy" and "political correctness" are described as weapons used by the left to enforce "gay idolatry" and censor dissent, leading to alienation among many Americans.
Our deluded empathy is leftists’ greatest weapon; they conquer us when we fear hurt feelings.
When an American can go to prison for the “hate crime” of disrespecting the Alphabet Army’s flag but foreign nationals are celebrated for burning the American people’s flag, it is easy to understand why so many Americans feel as if they are strangers in their own country.
VI. The Coming of a Stable Coin 'Wildcat' Money Marketized Excise Tax? by Wayne Lusvardi
Pending Congressional legislation will replace the US dollar with "programmable Stable Coins" to pay down the national debt, fundamentally transforming the financial system.
Pending Congressional legislation will replace the US dollar for a programmable Stable Coin to pay down the national debt.
What you may not have been informed of yet is that if you buy stocks, bonds or commodity futures contracts you must pay for them in Stable Coins, as cash, checks, and credit cards will be extinguished under the Genius Act passed by the US Senate and the Stable Act pending in the House of Representatives.
The mandatory pre-purchase of Stable Coins, which must be backed by Treasury Bills, is argued to be a "disguised excise tax".
Stablecoins are programmed money that must backup the coins with commensurate purchases of Treasury Bills.
Effectually, the mandated pre-purchase of Stable Coins is a disguised excise tax.
This "programmed money" system is predicted to lead to capital contraction and deflation in goods and services by restricting personal debt and loans, drawing comparisons to the unstable "wildcat banking" era that led to the Panic of 1837.
You will be constrained from going into personal debt or taking out loans for cars, real estate, small business start-ups.
Stable Coin will mean the US economy will be returning to the “wildcat” banking era before the Civil War where unregulated banks (not corporations of issuers of coins) supplied a medium of exchange in the form of bearer notes based on their own credit.
Historically, during hyperinflationary periods, traditional investment portfolios (stocks/bonds) have significantly underperformed, while productive farmland and commodity futures have gained multiples of the inflation rate.
Diversified investment portfolios of say 60% stocks/40% bonds vastly underperform farmland and commodities futures during hyperinflationary periods.
Conversely, productive farmland gained 1.7 times the inflation rate while commodities like gold, soybean or cattle futures gained 6.5 times the inflation rate.
A major crisis, possibly manufactured and supported by "mass media predictive programming," is expected to justify this compulsory financial transition.
We will likely have some sort of major crisis to justify the compulsory transition to a planned Stable Coin money economy by bank closures, lockdowns, and martial law to cover up the machinations of wiping out the currency value of the dollar.
Government often uses mass media predictive programming to mentally prepare us for such shocks.
VII. The Explosion of Jewish Fatigue Syndrome by Donald Jeffries
The article introduces "Jewish Fatigue Syndrome" (JFS) as a growing "intellectual impatience" among the US populace due to "wildly disproportionate Jewish power".
But a new malady is upon the land. Perhaps not a Biblical plague, but an intellectual impatience that can no longer grin and bear it.
Thanks to the histrionic Israeli partisan Ben Shapiro, who fired her from Daily Wire, Candace Owens has now become the daughter David Duke would have had, if he’d been on the down low with a soul sister.
The constant flow of "reverential Holocaust dramas" and the narrative of Jews as "God's chosen people" are criticized as an "industry" that is generating public weariness.
Just as daily video doses of violent ghetto behavior have ultimately resulted in a chronic Black Fatigue, years of reverential Holocaust dramas and proclamations that Jews are God’s “chosen people” have produced another, perhaps more serious disorder.
The Holocaust has become quite an industry onto itself.
US foreign policy in the Middle East, including wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and Yemen, is asserted to have been exclusively in "Israeli interests," driven by Jewish control over major media and publishing houses.
We fought the Gulf “War” (really, don’t you have to have two sides for a real war?) in 1989, for no other reason than to protect Israeli interests.
They noticed that the head of every Hollywood film studio was Jewish. As was the head of every television network. And the head of every record company.
The use of "anti-Semitism" as a label to deflect criticism is challenged, with the term described as "meaningless" and "inaccurate" given its misapplication to those defending Arab populations, who are also Semitic.
The term is not only so overused as to be meaningless, it is inaccurate.
All the Arabic people are Semitic, not just Israelis.
VIII. The Orchestrated War? What The US-Iran-Israel Conflict Might Really Mean by g.calderon
The recent US-Iran-Israel conflict is presented as a highly controlled and "choreographed" series of events, rather than uncontrolled aggression.
It looked like the catalyst for global warfare. It felt like escalation. But what if the real story is about what didn’t happen?.
This cycle of strike, response, and sudden negotiation is playing out like a scripted sequence.
Advance warnings were reportedly exchanged between the US and Iran through diplomatic channels, defense systems were prepared, and no civilian casualties were reported in the direct strikes, leading to immediate ceasefire and planned nuclear talks.
Official channels in the U.S. confirmed advance notice was sent to Iran through diplomatic backchannels in Oman and Russia.
No civilian casualties were reported on any side.
This pattern of "strike, response, and sudden negotiation" is described as a familiar "playbook of managed conflicts," with high-profile historical examples cited like the Gulf War and US airstrikes in Syria.
This isn’t chaos. It’s theatre. And the missiles are real in this performance.
If this is starting to feel familiar, you’re not alone. You’ve seen this before — and more often than you might think.
The article raises critical questions about who truly benefits from a conflict that stops short of full-scale war, whether it's about deterrence or distraction, and if citizens are merely an "audience" to a pre-written "script".
Who benefits from a conflict that stops short of actual war?.
Do we, the citizens, matter in this equation, or are we just the audience?.
IX. Trust Lost In Banking System & US Dollar by Mark Thornton
There is a broad concern about a growing lack of confidence and stability within the current banking system and the value of the US dollar.
The title of the article, "Trust Lost In Banking System & US Dollar", suggests a foundational instability.
The general context of the author's work often involves critique of current financial systems.
The brief nature of the provided excerpt implies that this instability is a foundational issue underpinning other proposed financial transformations.
This suggests a foundational instability that underpins other proposed financial transformations [414, drawing on our previous conversation history].
This topic is often explored in conjunction with proposed financial system overhauls, as seen in the related article on Stable Coins.
Here are 40 key takeaway points from the sources, presented in a structured manner, with two supporting sentences for each point and appropriate citations:
The acronym 'TAW' stands for "Trump Always Wins" and is an internal C&C brand.
Lately, in the comments, I have observed a surprising degree of confusion over my occasional reference to the acronym ‘TAW’.
Around the same time that I quoted Kevin Hassett, I’d also quoted Van Jones, who sincerely called Trump a genius and the most powerful man in the world. ☕️ GIFTS AND GRIFTS ☙ Monday, June 30, 2025 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠 by Jeff Childers
Van Jones, a prominent progressive commentator, described Donald Trump as a "phenomenon" and the "most powerful human on earth."
“This dude is a phenomenon,” Jones impatiently explained, referring to the President.
“He is the most powerful human on earth and in our lifetime.
Jones believes Trump is smarter than his critics, evidenced by his political successes and widespread support.
“Donald Trump is smarter than me, you, and all his critics.
You know how I know? He has the White House, the Senate, the House, the Supreme Court, the popular vote, a massive media ecosystem bigger than the mainstream, a religious fervor of a movement, his best buddy is the richest person in the history of the world, and the most relevant Kennedy is with him.
The author highlights that Van Jones’s candid assessment confirms that even smart progressives recognize Trump’s political skill.
Van’s rant was not just satisfying to hear because it came from a smart progressive.
It proved that they know.
Canada quickly scrapped its digital service tax after Trump suspended trade talks, demonstrating the power of "Trump Always Wins" (TAW).
This morning, the New York Times ran a terrific story headlined, “Canada to Scrap Tax That Led Trump to Suspend Trade Talks”.
It only took two days before Canada crumbled.
The Canadian digital service tax was designed to target major U.S. streaming and financial service providers and was retroactive.
Early last year, long before Trump took office, Canada passed a ‘digital service tax’ on international streaming and financial services doing business there.
It wasn’t scheduled to take effect until today, Monday, June 30, but it was also retroactive to last year when it started.
The proposed tax would have required U.S. companies to pay $2.7 billion to Canada.
Meaning, had it gone forward, U.S. companies would’ve had to stroke checks to Canada amounting to $2.7 billion dollars, according to the Times’ calculations.
Prime Minister Carney stubbornly clung on, like a greedy octopus, repeatedly vowing to teach America a lesson that it couldn’t just push Canada around (or deprive it of all that sweet unearned cash).
Trump terminated all trade discussions with Canada, stating the U.S. has "all the cards" and "economic power" over Canada.
On Friday, with the Monday deadline looming, Trump said that’s it.
He announced that the United States was putting Canada in the penalty box, by terminating all trade discussions “effective immediately”.
Despite initial defiance, Canada announced it would shelve the digital service tax the day after Trump's announcement.
But one day later, yesterday, all opposition to President Trump tumbled over like a limp rasher of back bacon.
Late yesterday afternoon, Canada quietly announced it would in fact shelve the tax, refraining from collecting anything until its parliament can rescind the absurd fees for good.
The New York Times acknowledged Canada's reversal as a significant victory for the Trump administration.
“The Canadian government said on Sunday night that it would cancel its tax on American technology companies,” the Times’ subheadline mourned, “handing a victory to the Trump administration”.
Another victory.
The New York Times published a controversial article suggesting individuals do not have a right to a bank account, amidst widespread debanking complaints.
Last month, the Times ran a controversial story headlined, “No, You Don’t Actually Have a Right to a Bank Account”.
The sub-headline explained that, if you were debanked for a Facebook meme about Biden’s last brain cell, tough noogies.
Thousands of debanking complaints have been reported, with various groups like crypto companies and conservative commenters being affected.
“Lawmakers,” the Times admitted, “say there have been thousands of debanking complaints over the past few years”.
Crypto companies, frackers, Canadian truckers, conservative commenters, and elderly Facebook memers have all gotten the polite letters saying their business was no longer welcome at major U.S. banks.
The author disputes Professor Adam J. Levitin's claim in the Times that debanking hysteria is "smoke, no fire," citing direct evidence.
“The debanking hysteria is all smoke, no fire,” said its cherry-picked expert, Adam J. Levitin, a Georgetown law professor.
Professor Levitin lied.
Direct evidence of debanking includes numerous cancellation letters uploaded by outraged individuals and personal accounts from those seeking legal advice.
Most of the debanked promptly uploaded their cancellation letters in justified outrage.
I know many of these folks myself, since I often get calls asking for post-debanking legal advice.
Texas has authorized gold and silver as legal tender for daily transactions, a move described as a "frontal assault" on traditional banking.
Yesterday, AInvest News ran a story headlined, “Texas Authorizes Gold, Silver as Legal Tender for Daily Transactions”.
The Lone Star State joined Florida, Utah, and Arkansas in the move, which to be clear, is a frontal assault on traditional banking.
New state laws are establishing state depositories for gold, allowing citizens to use asset-backed currency via debit cards.
The new state laws like Texas’s are setting up systems where state depositories, not banks, will hold the gold, and citizens can still use debit cards to buy and sell stuff.
But in this case, they’ll be using an asset-backed currency that isn’t subject to inflationary taxes like fiat currency (such as the dollar).
Exempting precious metals from state sales taxes is essential for them to function as a true currency rather than a product.
The ‘trick’ —the politically difficult part— is exempting precious metals from state sales taxes.
When traded metals are taxed, they remain a product rather than a currency.
Unanswered questions remain regarding the interstate use of state-based digital gold, highlighting an untested area of constitutional law.
Lots of questions remain.
For instance, can citizens use state-based, digital gold to buy things across state lines?
The Tenth Amendment and Article I, Section 10 of the Constitution provide the basis for states to use gold and silver as legal tender.
The Tenth Amendment provides that powers not delegated to the federal government are reserved to the states or the people.
The Constitution prohibits states from coining money, but explicitly allows them to use gold and silver coin as legal tender (Art. I, Sec. 10).
These state laws represent a significant and evolving test case for constitutional federalism in finance, potentially introducing competition to banks.
This is a fascinating and slowly forming test case for constitutional federalism in finance.
If Texas and the other states play it right—with enough gold, a functional app, and strategic alliances —and maybe a little help from Congress— it won’t topple the dollar, but it could give the banks their first competition since the Federal Reserve was founded.
The author suggests that continued debanking by banks could ironically contribute to their own downfall by making alternative financial systems politically possible.
So… keep on debanking people, dummies.
The banks are making their own demise politically possible.
The new ACIP Committee's first meeting, despite being seen as historic by some, faced "sour grapes" and dissatisfaction from others who demanded more radical changes.
Following my glowing report last week on the brand-new ACIP Committee’s first, historic meeting, the sour grapes began piling into the winepress of dissatisfaction.
Why didn’t they just cancel flu shots altogether, the unsatisfiable mob demanded?
Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, an influential health freedom pioneer, acknowledged the ACIP committee's actions as the most "politically possible" steps to reverse vaccine adherence.
Sherri J. Tenpenny, D.O., is an Ohio-trained osteopathic physician, former emergency department director, and founder of the Tenpenny Integrative Medical Center, where she champions holistic and alternative treatments while warning against conventional vaccines.
In the clip, Dr. Tenpenny obviously recognized that the new ACIP committee did everything politically possible to reverse decades of slavish vaccine adherence by our public health agencies.
Dr. Tenpenny is a key figure in the MAHA movement, influencing narratives and policy discussions, and was labeled a "Disinformation Dozen" member.
Over the past decade, Dr. Tenpenny has authored multiple books like Saying No to Vaccines, and runs a “Mastering Vaccine Info Boot Camp” to teach persuasion tactics aimed at undermining mainstream public health ‘guidance’.
She holds significant sway in the health-freedom community— helping shape its narrative, influencing policy discussions (like Ohio’s anti-mandate hearings), and was even counted among Biden’s “Disinformation Dozen” of misinformation superspreaders— making her arguably one of the most influential players in the MAHA movement.
A "blackpilled" faction within the MAHA movement relentlessly criticizes health freedom pioneers, even for incremental victories.
But there’s still a blackpilled vein of dissatisfaction running through MAHA, which snipes relentlessly at brave health freedom pioneers from the bushes.
Had the committee voted to altogether remove flu vaccines from the recommended schedule in its very first meeting, the blackpilled would still complain that it hadn’t removed all vaccines.
The author argues that celebrating incremental victories is crucial for momentum and encouraging continued efforts, rather than demanding immediate maximal changes.
This is a mistake.
The correct response to incremental victories is to celebrate them.
The author speculates that those fueling the "blackpilled" response might be working for Big Pharma to derail the MAHA movement.
I hope that it’s obvious to everybody that whoever is fueling the blackpilled response probably works for Big Pharma, and their job is to ensure MAHA blows up on the SpaceX launch pad.
Please don’t take the bait.
Former New York Democrat aide Linda Sun faces charges for allegedly acting as a Chinese agent and for pandemic-related fraud.
Last week, the AP ran an article headlined, “Accused of acting as a Chinese agent, NY governors' ex-aide now faces pandemic fraud charge, too”.
Democrat luminary Linda Sun served in two consecutive New York gubernatorial administrations.
Linda Sun held high-level positions in two New York gubernatorial administrations, overseeing PPE procurement during the pandemic.
She was Deputy Chief Diversity Officer, serving under “Love Guv” Andrew Cuomo (2018–2020), then was Deputy Chief of Staff for lockdown queen Governor Kathy Hochul (2021–2023).
During the spring of 2020, when New York was allegedly ‘struggling’ to source masks and other PPE, Linda oversaw the state’s PPE procurement team.
Sun allegedly steered $45 million in PPE contracts to companies tied to her family by forging official documents.
She used her Chinese connections to broker procurement deals.
She also steered $45 million in PPE contracts to two companies tied to her husband and her cousin— by forging official documents to make the men appear as if they had been vouchsafed by top Chinese government officials.
Linda Sun and her husband allegedly received millions in kickbacks, funding luxury purchases.
For their trouble, Linda and her husband are alleged to have received millions in kickbacks, including $2.3 million washed through her cousin, with the total illicit windfall reaching as high as $8 million.
Prosecutors say the illicit kickbacks funded the couple’s purchases of several multimillion-dollar properties and loads of luxury cars.
Linda Sun's case illustrates how the pandemic's emergency powers structure, with relaxed oversight, enabled widespread opportunism and "grift."
Linda’s story is not just about a lone bad actor.
Her story illustrates how the entire emergency powers structure —fast-tracked approvals, relaxed oversight, direct-award contracting— created a feeding frenzy for opportunists inside and outside government.
New York City spent approximately $7 billion on pandemic supplies through emergency no-bid contracts, including paying inflated prices for masks.
New York City spent roughly $7 billion on pandemic supplies via emergency no-bid contracts.
That included paying up to $7.50 per cloth mask.
NYC's auction of surplus PPE resulted in a massive financial loss, recovering only $500,000 from $225 million worth of supplies.
But when NYC auctioned off $225 million in surplus PPE, it only got $500,000— a massive loss for taxpayers.
This highlights significant waste in pandemic procurement.
A New Jersey investigation uncovered waste and abuse in Essex County's $40 million COVID-19 vaccination program, including payments to unidentified workers.
New Jersey’s comptroller recently issued a report titled, “Investigation Uncovers Waste, Abuse in Essex County’s $40 Million COVID-19 Vaccination Program”.
Among many other examples, the report said, “One worker was paid $130,000 over 11 months, yet the County didn’t know who that person was or what the person did”.
A "nonprofit boss" in New York received $150 million for housing inmates in hotels during the COVID era, with allegations of siphoning funds.
Julio Medina, 51, a local “nonprofit boss” (i.e., community organizer and NGO scammer), was funneled $150 million for putting up inmates in New York hotels during the covid era.
He scraped off a bunch for himself.
Reports indicate thousands of DOJ criminal cases and potentially billions in losses from fraudulent federal COVID loans.
Another 2023 report cited over three thousand DOJ criminal cases, two thousand convictions, 524 individuals charged, and about $188 million in confirmed losses.
The same report said the GAO had already flagged over 3.7 million potentially fraudulent federal covid loans.
The pandemic created an "institutional buffet for profiteers" at all levels, extending beyond official grants to include widespread fraud and corruption.
All that is a disgusting, corrupt layer of icing on top of all the official scientific grants, hospital enhancements, forgivable loans, media buys, and influencer payments that we already know about.
The pandemic was an institutional buffet for profiteers at every level.
The financial incentives generated by pandemic profiteering explain why many illogical or unnecessary policies were fiercely defended and prolonged.
The incentives created by pandemic profiteering —both official and under-the-table— help explain why so many nonsensical, contradictory, or unnecessary policies were not just implemented, but defended to the death.
Emergency declarations loosened procurement laws, disabled competitive bidding, and unlocked vast sums of state and federal money.
The pandemic fostered a "coercion economy" where compliance was financially rewarded, while dissent led to professional and social penalties.
The pandemic didn’t just reward obedience.
It financially punished dissent and financially rewarded compliance, creating a self-reinforcing system where going along meant getting paid, and pushing back meant getting sidelined, censored, or unemployed.
This article from "Coffee & Covid" presents a multifaceted commentary on current events, emphasizing a recurring theme of "Trump Always Wins" (TAW) through various examples. It highlights Canada's quick reversal of a digital service tax after a trade dispute with the U.S., showcasing Trump's economic leverage. The piece then pivots to domestic issues, discussing the controversial idea that citizens have no inherent right to a bank account while simultaneously pointing to Texas's move to authorize gold and silver as legal tender, which could offer an alternative to traditional banking. Finally, the article delves into the alleged "pandemic grift," citing instances of corruption and profiteering, like the case of a former NY gubernatorial aide facing fraud charges, suggesting that the "emergency" framework enabled widespread financial exploitation and created a "coercion economy" that rewarded compliance and punished dissent.
Coffee & Covid (C&C) is presented as a daily news roundup and commentary publication, authored by Jeff Childers, with the specific entry provided dated Monday, June 30, 2025. The title "C&C NEWS" implies it aims to deliver current events and analysis.
Here are some key aspects of Coffee & Covid:
Format and Content
It is structured like a daily newsletter or blog post, beginning with a "Good morning, C&C" greeting and concluding with a sign-off.
The publication includes various sections, such as the "C&C ARMY POST" for new readers, which often explains inside jokes or recurring themes.
It features "WORLD NEWS AND COMMENTARY" sections, where the author discusses global and national events.
The content often incorporates multimedia elements, such as embedded video clips.
The author encourages readers to share the post and engage in discussion.
Key Concepts and Themes
"TAW" (Trump Always Wins): This is a significant running "brand" and inside joke explained early in the post for new readers. It originated from a New York Times story about a judicial order temporarily disconnecting Trump’s tariff dashboard. The author highlights instances where this concept is demonstrated, such as Canada quickly folding in a trade dispute with the U.S. after President Trump's actions. The concept suggests that "they know" Trump is smarter and more politically skilled, understanding that "Trump Always Wins".
Critique of Mainstream Narratives and Institutions: Coffee & Covid frequently challenges established views and institutions. Examples include:
Debanking: The author strongly refutes the New York Times' claim that there is no right to a bank account and that debanking is "all smoke, no fire," providing counter-evidence like cancellation letters and personal experience. The author suggests that banks are making their "own demise politically possible" through debanking practices.
Pandemic Profiteering and "Grift": A major focus is on alleged corruption and financial incentives during the pandemic. The author discusses cases like Linda Sun, a former NY gubernatorial aide, charged with pandemic fraud and acting as a Chinese agent, alleging she funneled millions through PPE procurement schemes. The publication argues that the "emergency powers structure" during the pandemic — with fast-tracked approvals and relaxed oversight — created a "feeding frenzy for opportunists". It details examples of waste, abuse, and potential fraud, including high costs for masks, unaccounted-for workers, and suspicious federal loans. The author contends that financial incentives helped explain why "nonsensical, contradictory, or unnecessary policies" were implemented and defended.
Health Freedom Movement (MAHA): The publication engages with the "health-freedom community" and the "MAHA movement," often defending figures like Dr. Sherri Tenpenny who are critical of conventional vaccines and public health guidance.
Incremental Victories vs. "Blackpilling": The author strongly advocates for celebrating "incremental victories," especially within movements like MAHA, rather than succumbing to "blackpilling" (a term for constant dissatisfaction or negativity). This is exemplified by the discussion around the new ACIP Committee's first meeting, which the author views as a positive step despite some criticism from within the health freedom community. The author suggests that those fueling the "blackpilled response" might be working against the movement.
Author and Tone
Jeff Childers is the author.
The tone is conversational, opinionated, and often uses colloquialisms or inside jokes ("Portland pals," "Canucks," "limp rasher of back bacon").
The author positions Coffee & Covid as a source of "essential news and double-caffeinated commentary" and aims to "get the truth out and spreading optimism and hope".
Community and Engagement
The term "C&C ARMY" implies a dedicated readership or community.
Readers, like "Valerie," actively engage in the comments section, expressing agreement and discussing the points raised by Childers.
The publication solicits donations and offers "C&C Swag," further suggesting a community-supported model.
In essence, Coffee & Covid serves as a platform for alternative news and commentary, often critical of mainstream narratives, with a strong focus on political and health-related issues, and aims to foster a community around its specific perspective.
"Trump Always Wins," or TAW, is a significant running "brand" and inside joke within the Coffee & Covid (C&C) publication. It is not intended as a hubristic brag, but rather a "brand".
Here's a breakdown of TAW:
Origin
The acronym TAW was "born" from a New York Times story about a judicial order that temporarily disconnected Trump’s tariff dashboard. The court of appeals overruled this order on the same day it was issued.
It is contrasted with the left's acronym, 'TACO' (Trump Always Chickens Out). The author attempted to create spicier alternatives like BURRITO or ENCHILADA, but they were too extended.
Conceptual Support from Van Jones
The concept of TAW is further supported by observations from Van Jones, a Yale-educated attorney, Emmy-winning media producer, veteran civil rights activist, and former Obama "Green Jobs Czar," who is considered one of the most recognizable progressive voices on CNN.
Jones, described as arguably the smartest and most dangerous political consultant on the left, recognized Trump as a "phenomenon" and "the most powerful human on earth and in our lifetime".
He explicitly stated that "Donald Trump is smarter than me, you, and all his critics". Jones reasoned that Trump's continued political success, including holding the White House, Senate, House, Supreme Court, the popular vote, a massive media ecosystem, a religious fervor of a movement, and alliances with powerful figures, demonstrates his intelligence and political skill.
Jones also implicitly acknowledged Trump's ability to overcome numerous criminal charges, lawsuits, and impeachment attempts.
This perspective from a smart progressive like Van Jones is presented as proof that "they know" they are dealing with someone smarter and more politically skilled. The ultimate proof, according to Van, and the "only language they understand," is that "Trump Always Wins".
Evidence of TAW in Action: The Canada Trade Dispute
The source presents the resolution of a trade dispute between the U.S. and Canada as the "latest evidence of TAW".
The Issue: Early last year, Canada passed a 'digital service tax' aimed at large U.S. providers like Netflix and Stripe, which was set to go into effect on June 30, 2025, and was retroactive, potentially costing U.S. companies $2.7 billion.
Canada's Stance: Despite ongoing trade deal negotiations, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney (who replaced Justin Trudeau) stubbornly clung to the tax, vowing to "teach America a lesson".
Trump's Intervention: On the Friday before the tax was to take effect, Trump announced that the U.S. was "terminating all trade discussions effective immediately," calling the tax a "blatant attack". He asserted, "We have all the cards. We have every single one... economically we have such power over Canada".
Canada's Capitulation: Just one day after Trump's announcement, Canada quietly announced on Sunday night that it would shelve the tax, refraining from collecting anything until its parliament could rescind the fees for good.
The Outcome: The New York Times, in its subheadline, "mourned" Canada's decision, acknowledging it as "handing a victory to the Trump administration," specifically noting "Another victory". This quick reversal is presented as direct proof of TAW.
Pandemic profiteering, or "grift," is a central theme discussed in the Coffee & Covid publication, with the author, Jeff Childers, arguing that behind the rhetoric of "safety" and "public health" during the pandemic, there were often "enormous piles of unaccounted-for money, hastily written no-bid contracts, and crony enrichment pipelines". This alleged corruption and financial opportunism are presented as key drivers behind many of the implemented policies.
Here's a detailed discussion of pandemic profiteering as described in the sources:
The Underlying Mechanism: Emergency Powers Structure The sources suggest that the "emergency powers structure" put in place during the pandemic — characterized by fast-tracked approvals, relaxed oversight, and direct-award contracting — created a "feeding frenzy for opportunists" both within and outside government. This system, once established, was financially incentivized to continue, as "every time the emergency was renewed, the money-printing spigot stayed on". This created a direct financial incentive for agencies, contractors, lobbyists, and connected middlemen to prolong the "virus crisis" and the "emergency" itself.
Financial Incentives for Policies The author contends that the incentives created by pandemic profiteering, both official and illicit, help to explain why many "nonsensical, contradictory, or unnecessary policies were not just implemented, but defended to the death". The longer the "pandemic panic lasted," the more funding became available for masks, tests, tracing apps, vaccines, cleaning contracts, COVID loans, hotel rates, and compliance consultants.
The "Coercion Economy" The pandemic also created what is termed a "coercion economy" where "pandemic participation was incredibly profitable". This system financially rewarded compliance and punished dissent:
Rewards for Compliance: Doctors, nurses, school administrators, tech companies, hospital managers, and even pastors who "went along" with mask mandates, school closures, vaccine pushes, and social distancing were "financially propped up" through direct funding, liability waivers, and new revenue streams (like virtual learning or emergency contracts).
Punishment for Dissent: Those who opposed these policies faced license investigations, firings, board complaints, media ridicule, and "total exclusion" from decision-making. The author notes that those who "failed to 'follow the science'" ultimately found that "the science led right to an envelope packed with hundred-dollar bills".
Examples of Alleged Profiteering and Waste The publication provides several specific instances to illustrate the alleged "grift":
Linda Sun Case: Linda Sun, a Democrat luminary and former aide in two New York gubernatorial administrations (Deputy Chief Diversity Officer under Andrew Cuomo and Deputy Chief of Staff for Kathy Hochul), is presented as a prominent example.
During spring 2020, she oversaw New York's PPE procurement and allegedly used her Chinese connections to broker deals.
She is accused of steering $45 million in PPE contracts to two companies tied to her husband and cousin, forging documents to vouch for them.
Linda and her husband allegedly received millions in kickbacks, with total illicit gains potentially reaching $8 million. These kickbacks supposedly funded multimillion-dollar properties and luxury cars.
She was initially charged in September for being a secret paid Chinese agent, with additional charges for COVID bribery and fraud added later. Her story is highlighted as an illustration of how the "emergency powers structure" facilitated opportunism.
New York City Spending: NYC reportedly spent approximately $7 billion on pandemic supplies via emergency no-bid contracts, including paying up to $7.50 per cloth mask. When NYC later auctioned off $225 million in surplus PPE, it only recovered $500,000, representing a "massive loss for taxpayers".
New Jersey Waste: An investigation into Essex County’s $40 million COVID-19 vaccination program uncovered waste and abuse. One example cited was a worker paid $130,000 over 11 months, even though the County "didn’t know who that person was or what the person did".
Julio Medina Case: Julio Medina, a "nonprofit boss," was allegedly funneled $150 million for housing inmates in New York hotels during the COVID era, from which he "scraped off a bunch for himself".
Federal COVID Loans: A 2023 report cited over 3,000 DOJ criminal cases, 2,000 convictions, and 524 individuals charged, with about $188 million in confirmed losses related to pandemic fraud. The GAO also flagged over 3.7 million potentially fraudulent federal COVID loans, which could amount to "billions".
The "Reckoning" The author describes all these examples as a "disgusting, corrupt layer of icing on top of all the official scientific grants, hospital enhancements, forgivable loans, media buys, and influencer payments". The pandemic, in this view, was an "institutional buffet for profiteers at every level". Despite the negativity of these revelations, the author suggests that the "grift was a gift" because it has "outed and identified" thousands of politically-connected "activist" crooks and kleptocrats, with more expected to be exposed. The sources conclude by stating that "The Reckoning is underway and gaining momentum".
Debanking concerns, as discussed in the Coffee & Covid (C&C) publication, revolve around the alleged practice of financial institutions closing customer accounts due to what the author considers to be politically motivated discrimination.
Here's a breakdown of the concerns:
The New York Times' Perspective vs. The Author's Rebuttal
The New York Times ran a story headlined, "No, You Don’t Actually Have a Right to a Bank Account". The article's sub-headline suggested that if a customer was debanked for something like a "Facebook meme about Biden’s last brain cell, tough noogies". The Times seemingly admitted that banks have been cutting off customers due to political discrimination, citing "thousands" of debanking complaints over the past few years.
However, the Times also quoted an expert, Professor Adam J. Levitin from Georgetown Law, who claimed the "debanking hysteria is all smoke, no fire" and that it's based on "self-serving and unverifiable allegations from risky businesses and customers".
Jeff Childers, the author of C&C, strongly refutes Professor Levitin's claim, stating that the professor "lied". Childers asserts there is "plenty of fiery evidence," including "cancellation letters" that many debanked individuals have uploaded in outrage. He also notes his own experience, receiving calls from many debanked individuals seeking legal advice. The author criticizes the Times for treating debanking as a "weird cultural phenomenon or kind of mass hysteria".
Who is Affected by Debanking? The sources state that various groups have received "polite letters saying their business was no longer welcome at major U.S. banks". These include:
Crypto companies
Frackers
Canadian truckers
Conservative commenters
Elderly Facebook memers
Texas's Response and the Future of Banking
In response to these concerns, states like Texas are taking significant steps that represent a "frontal assault on traditional banking". Texas, joining Florida, Utah, and Arkansas, has authorized gold and silver as legal tender for daily transactions.
These new state laws are establishing systems where state depositories, rather than traditional banks, will hold gold. Citizens will still be able to use debit cards for transactions, but these will be backed by asset-backed currency (gold and silver) instead of fiat currency, making them "not subject to inflationary taxes".
A key element is exempting precious metals from state sales taxes, which transforms them from a mere "product" into a "currency".
While questions remain about cross-state transactions and federal recognition, the author views this as a "fascinating and slowly forming test case for constitutional federalism in finance".
The ultimate implication, according to Childers, is that if these states are successful, it "could give the banks their first competition since the Federal Reserve was founded".
The Author's Warning to Banks The author's strong message to banks is: "So… keep on debanking people, dummies." He believes that by engaging in these practices, "The banks are making their own demise politically possible".
Health freedom, as discussed in the sources, is a concept championed by individuals and movements advocating for personal autonomy in health decisions, often in opposition to mainstream public health guidance and mandates.
Key aspects and figures associated with Health Freedom include:
Dr. Sherri Tenpenny:
She is identified as a "Health Freedom Pioneer" and a "fierce warrior for freedom during the pandemic".
An Ohio-trained osteopathic physician and former emergency department director, she founded the Tenpenny Integrative Medical Center.
At her center, she advocates for holistic and alternative treatments while cautioning against conventional vaccines.
She has authored books such as Saying No to Vaccines and conducts a "Mastering Vaccine Info Boot Camp" to instruct on persuasion tactics aimed at undermining mainstream public health guidance.
Dr. Tenpenny has a long-standing position that vaccines cause autism and expresses skepticism about 5G and other concerns within the MAHA movement.
Her influence is significant within the health-freedom community, where she helps shape narratives and impacts policy discussions, such as anti-mandate hearings in Ohio.
She was notably named among Biden's "Disinformation Dozen" for her role as a "misinformation superspreader".
The MAHA Movement:
Dr. Tenpenny is described as one of the most influential players in the MAHA movement.
The sources suggest there is a "blackpilled vein of dissatisfaction" within MAHA, where some members express relentless criticism even when "health freedom pioneers" achieve incremental victories.
The author argues that these "blackpilled" responses are counterproductive and may even be fueled by those who wish to see the MAHA movement fail (e.g., "Big Pharma").
The desired outcome for the movement is to move the "jab needle in the right direction (toward the landfill)," implying a goal of reducing or eliminating vaccine use.
Incremental Victories vs. "Blackpilling":
The source discusses the importance of celebrating incremental victories, such as the new ACIP committee's actions, which are seen as doing "everything politically possible to reverse decades of slavish vaccine adherence" by public health agencies.
The author strongly advises against "blackpilling," which involves being endlessly dissatisfied with any progress short of total victory, such as demanding the complete removal of all vaccines from recommended schedules.
The argument is that celebrating and encouraging these small wins is crucial for building momentum and supporting those who risk their professional careers for health freedom. Pushing back against "blackpilling" on social media is also recommended.
