I. Epstein Client List is an Unhelpful Bit of Terminology and Presumably a Misnomer, by Andrew Anglin
The terminology "Epstein Client List" is criticized as unhelpful and a misnomer, potentially allowing for deflection. I wanted to address something related to the widely alleged claims that Epstein filmed all these rich and powerful people having sex with underage girls: at some point, someone came up with the term “Epstein Client List.”
I do not understand the meaning of this piece of language and do not think it is helpful and think that in a strict sense, when Pam Bimbo said “there is no Epstein Client List,” she was being truthful.
The words "Client" and "List" within the term "Epstein Client List" are deemed inaccurate and useless. If we break down this very popular term, which led to the very popular slogan “release the Epstein Client List,” we have no issue with the word “Epstein,” but both the other words – “Client” and “List” – both seem inaccurate and useless.
So I don’t think it’s useful.
Epstein is suggested to have been a Mossad agent offering a service of "voluntary blackmail" to powerful individuals. He was a Mossad agent offering the service of allowing people to give video of themselves having sex with underage girls to the Mossad, which would then allow them to advance in their career, as they would be marked as a trusted person by powerful Jews.
It’s the exact same concept with Mossad jailbait sex tapes, this “voluntary blackmail.”
"Voluntary blackmail" is explained as a way to implicate individuals as co-conspirators, similar to corrupt police or mafia practices, making them "part of the gang." This is because if he takes the cut, they know he can’t rat them out, because he is a co-conspirator.
You just have the Mossad guy with the cameras in the sex room, you tell people “go see Epstein,” he sends them to the sex room, all of a sudden you’re one of the gang and doors start opening up.
The notion of a literal "list" is questioned, as Epstein had a safe full of videos, implying videos themselves served as the record. Why would there be a list?
He had a safe full of videos.
The author advocates for the release of videos, rather than focusing on a "client list," suggesting blurring the girls' faces for privacy. People should be saying “release the videos.”
Obviously you would blur the girls, because the government can’t distribute child porn, and also fags and Indian scammers like Kash Patel claim that releasing the videos would “victimize the girls all over again.”
It is suggested that someone at the FBI has already identified individuals in the videos and could release a list of names from those recordings. At the very least, someone at the FBI went through and identified everyone in the videos, so they can release the “list” of the names of the people seen in the videos.
The Trump administration's claim that Epstein documents were fabricated by Democrats to smear him is deemed illogical. The thing that Donald Trump is running with is that the Democrats fabricated Epstein documents to attempt to smear him.
That does not make any sense.
Trump's current strategy regarding the Epstein files is seen as ineffective, suggesting he should expose it as a Mossad blackmail ring even if implicated. One thing is crystal: Trump cannot possibly get out of this situation he’s in without a very serious change in strategy.
I think you would get a lot of “he’s not a perfect person and this was wrong of him to do, but it was brave of him to come clean.”
The author asserts that Epstein "obviously died in prison," a point that one commenter disputes. The reason this is relevant is that he obviously died in prison.
It is absolutely not obvious that Epstein died in prison.
The notion of an "Epstein Client List" allows government figures like Pam Bondi to technically deny its existence. This slogan “release the Epstein Client List” allows for Pam Bimbo to go out there and say “there is no Epstein Client List,” and have it probably be technically true.
Bondi is probably using the “no client list” as a technical fact, as you say – juvenile, but effective.
II. “Reserve Currency” My Eye!, by David Stockman
The yield on the 30-year US Treasury bond has crossed the 5.0% mark for the first time in 17 years, warranting a re-evaluation of past financial policies. The yield on the 30-year US Treasury bond just crossed the 5.0% mark for the first time in 17 years.
So it might be useful to revisit where we have been lo these many decades.
The author contends that the Fed and previous Keynesian central bankers have been incompetent, arguing that private markets could yield better results for interest rates. To wit, Jay Powell and the whole parade of Keynesian central bankers who came before him—save for William McChesney Martin and Tall Paul Volcker—were neither competent nor deserving of the Fed’s vaunted “independence”.
Indeed, you could have gotten a better result from a posse of random names snatched out of the Cleveland phone book—which is to say, from the nation’s vast private markets in interest rates, stock, bonds, derivatives and other financial assets.
The core of the criticism against the Fed is that it should not be manipulating overnight money rates or the overall debt market yield curve. The real gravamen of Trump’s complaint is that the Fed should not even be fiddling with the rate on overnight money or the level and shape of the entire debt market yield curve in the first place.
That’s a job for free, flexible, dynamic, competitive, information-rich private markets, not an agency of the state.
The four-decade decline in the long bond's yield is presented as dispositive proof of monetary central planners' incompetence, as such a one-way journey would not occur in a free market. Indeed, the dispositive proof of the generic incompetence of monetary central planners (aka central bankers) is the four decade’s march of the long bond relentlessly down the yield hill as depicted in the graph below.
To the contrary, the graph has “central bankers at work” written all over it because the price of bonds (i.e. yields) on the free market would have continuously zigged and zagged in a narrow but directionless range for the entire half century running.
The extreme variation in real yields (nominal yield minus CPI inflation) is also cited as evidence of central bank manipulation, far beyond what supply and demand in free markets could generate. And on this “real yield” basis, the range is even more stupendously unmarket-like, ranging from a +940 basis points high in June 1983 to a -610 basis points low in March 2022.
Baring some unimaginable catastrophe even far worse than the Great Depression of the 1930s, there is simply no scenario—-no imaginable imbalance of supply and demand in the bond pits—so extreme as to generate real yield outcomes this variant.
The author suggests that debt markets are entering a new price discovery process, initiated in March 2022, when central banks globally stopped printing money. Accordingly, we would suggest that the debt markets are just beginning a new price discovery process that incepted in March 2022.
That’s when for the first time in a half century the central banks of the world were compelled to shut down their printing presses simultaneously because under the conceit of the “Great Moderation” mantra promulgated by Bernanke in February 2004 the nearly double-digit inflation that peaked in the summer of 2022 was never supposed to happen.
The significant increase in central bank holdings of US Treasury debt is identified as a massive, market-driving force in recent decades, influencing bond prices. Front-running of the central banks by global traders and algos has been a massive, market-driving force in recent decades because the central banks have literally been buying US government issued and guaranteed debt securities hand over fist.
In the case of the Fed alone, its balance sheet of mostly US Treasury paper has exploded from $80 billion in June 1971 to the money-printing high of $9.0 trillion in March 2022.
Foreign central banks engaged in continuous currency market interventions and "dirty floats" to counteract the Fed's flood of dollar liabilities and prevent their own exchange rates from appreciating. Yet and yet.
That’s really not the half of it when you consider the fellow-traveling central banks of the world, which for better or worse responded to the Fed’s flood of dollar liabilities by massive, continuous currency market interventions and “dirty floats”.
The US dollar has not been a "reserve currency" in the classic sense since August 1971, due to the world's shift to purely fiat moneys and "dirty floats." In short, the U.S. dollar has not been a “reserve currency” in the classic sense since August 1971.
That’s when the world stumbled into purely fiat moneys traded via dirty floats on the world’s exchange markets by central banks eager to counter-act the massive monetary inflation of the Federal Reserve.
III. After the US defunds GAVI, Bill Gates declares: “All the progress we’ve made is at risk”, by Rhoda Wilson
The United States has halted funding to GAVI, the Vaccine Alliance, due to concerns over vaccine safety. At a GAVI fundraising event, US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that the United States would halt funding to GAVI, the Vaccine Alliance, citing concerns over vaccine safety.
RFK Jr. said the US would cut off more than a billion dollars that had previously been promised over the next few years.
Bill Gates expressed concern over the US cuts and other funding reductions, stating that "All the progress we've made is at risk" due to a $30 billion decrease in aid. Bill Gates gave a speech at the same event, stating that the US cuts and other funding cuts have resulted in a $30 billion decrease in aid.
“All the progress we’ve made is at risk,” he said.
The article disputes Gates' claim that mothers are "agonising" over their children not being vaccinated, calling it fabricated and manipulative. Asking the audience to think what it must be like for a mother when her child is not vaccinated, he said, “This is agonising.”
No Gates, mothers are not agonising over whether their child is vaccinated.
The author contends that vaccines are not making children healthier and that Bill Gates profits significantly from global sickness and disease. Firstly, the vaccines are not making children healthier as Gates claims.
Secondly, Gates is profiting enormously from children’s sickness and disease globally.
Gates claims a 20 to 1 return on vaccine investments, stating GAVI has generated $250 billion in "economic benefits" for supporting countries. In 2019, Gates estimated a 20 to 1 return for investments in vaccines; in other words, for every US$1 billion he invests, the “social and economic benefits” are US$20 billion in return, a claim he continues to make.
“GAVI’s vaccination has generated 250 billion in economic benefits in the countries it supports.
RFK Jr. described how Bill Gates made a $242 million profit from BioNTech stock before publicly announcing that the Pfizer vaccine (which BioNTech developed) didn't work, calling it a "pump-and-dump" scheme. He then sold almost all that stock, 87%, two years later at a $242,000,000 profit.
“This is what you call a ‘pump-and-dump’ scheme,” RFK Jr. said.
The UK government pledged £1.25 billion to GAVI despite the US defunding, citing a "positive impact at home" by creating British jobs and growth through partnerships with health companies. At the end of June, in response to Gates’ plea for funding, the UK government pledged £1.25 billion to GAVI, which is lower than its previous funding by £400 million – but still not low enough.
The Government’s website explains: “It will [ ] have a positive impact at home, creating British jobs and growth, through partnerships with health companies like GSK, which employs about 14,000 people in the UK, as the government delivers on its Plan for Change to boost economic growth.”
IV. Déjà Vu on JFK at the Washington Post, by Jacob G. Hornberger
The Washington Post is criticized for its blasé attitude towards the recently revealed CIA lies about the George Joannides matter in the JFK assassination. The Washington Post is giving me a déjà vu feeling about the JFK assassination.
Why the seemingly blasé attitude toward the CIA’s lies regarding Joannides?
The CIA has reportedly lied continuously about the George Joannides matter for over 60 years, with the instruction to lie seemingly transmitted across generations of CIA officials. After publishing an extraordinary article detailing how recently revealed records of the CIA disclose that it has been lying continuously about the George Joannides matter for more than 60 years, the Post has now followed up with an editorial emphasizing how important it is for government institutions to begin telling the truth so that we can renew our trust in government.
But somehow the instruction to continue the lying about Joannides was transmitted from CIA generation to CIA generation.
The author suggests that the Washington Post's steadfast adherence to the lone-nut theory of the assassination explains its lack of interest in investigating the CIA's prolonged deception. My hunch is that it’s because long ago the Post subscribed to the lone-nut theory of the assassination — a theory to which it has obviously remained wedded regardless of the overwhelming circumstantial evidence of guilt on the part of the national-security establishment, including the evidence establishing the fraudulent autopsy that the military conducted on JFK’s body on the very evening of the assassination.
That’s got to explain the lack of interest in following up on why the CIA has lied about Joannides for so long.
The Joannides lies are seen as a puzzle piece fitting perfectly into the mosaic of a national-security state regime-change operation. After all, what the Post cannot deny is that the 60 years of CIA’s lies about Joannides is a puzzle piece that fits perfectly within the overall mosaic of a national-security state regime-change operation.
The author recalls a 1998 Washington Post story reporting two brain exams in the JFK autopsy, which contradicted military pathologists' claims of only one exam, implying intentional lying. The reason that the CIA’s attitude seems like déjà vu all over again for me is that we saw this same phenomenon take place back in the 1990s.
On November 8, 1998, the Post published a story about how the Assassination Records Review Board had determined that there had been two brain exams as part of the JFK autopsy.
The article implies that the second brain exam necessarily involved a brain belonging to someone other than Kennedy. Another reason is that the second brain exam necessarily Iinvolved a brain that belonged to someone other than Kennedy.
‘I am 90 to 95 percent certain that the photographs in the Archives are not of President Kennedy’s brain,’ [Douglas] Horne, a former naval officer, said in an interview.”
The Washington Post is criticized for not launching an investigation into the fraudulent autopsy findings it reported, just as it shows no proclivity to investigate the Joannides lies. Now, wouldn’t you think that that would be enough for a mainstream paper to send an investigative reporter to get to the bottom of all this?
Apparently not because the Post, as far as I know, did not launch any investigation into the matters that it itself detailed in that 1998 article, just as it is showing no proclivity toward doing insofar as the Joannides lies are concerned.
V. Gaza Isn’t Starving, It Is Being Starved, by Caitlin Johnstone
Malnutrition-related deaths are increasing rapidly in Gaza, with doctors reporting people collapsing in the street. Malnutrition-related deaths in Gaza are beginning to climb, with the health ministry reporting 18 in a single 24-hour period.
Doctors report that people are “collapsing” in the street, and Gaza journalist Nahed Hajjaj is warning the world not to be surprised if the remaining reporters in the enclave are soon silenced by starvation.
The author asserts that if Israel's actions in Gaza are not considered evil, then nothing is evil. If this isn’t evil, then nothing is evil.
If Israel isn’t evil, then nothing is.
The starvation in Gaza is described as a deliberately manufactured campaign with genocidal intent, not an unfortunate famine. This isn’t some kind of unfortunate famine caused by a drought or natural disaster.
It is a deliberately manufactured starvation campaign, implemented with genocidal intent.
A ceasefire in Gaza is presented as a straightforward matter, where the "empire" (Western backers, primarily the US) simply needs to cease supporting Israel's onslaught. It’s not some mystery how to get a ceasefire in Gaza; the empire is the fire.
If the United States and its western allies ceased backing Israel’s onslaught in Gaza, a ceasefire would have to occur.
The author states that food can easily be delivered into Gaza through existing roads and gates, implying that its blockage is intentional. Likewise, it is not a mystery how to get food into Gaza.
You just drive the food on in and give it to people.
Western governments are accused of conspiring to cut critical aid by pretending UNRWA is a terrorist organization, while doing nothing to pressure Israel to allow aid. The only reason people in Gaza are starving is because western governments (including my own Australia) conspired to pretend to believe that UNRWA is a terrorist organization to justify cutting off critical aid, while doing nothing to pressure Israel into allowing aid to flow freely.
UNRWA has sufficient food stockpiled for Gaza's entire population, with systems in place, but aid is not being allowed through. UNRWA has enough food for the entire population of #Gaza for over three months stockpiled in warehouses–including this one in Al Arish, Egypt–awaiting entry.
The supplies are available.
The ultimate goal behind the starvation campaign is to remove all Palestinians from Gaza through death or displacement. They’re just not being allowed to provide aid because the goal is to remove all Palestinians from Gaza via death or displacement.
VI. How to Constitutionally Separate Communist Cities Without Civil War., by Andrew Wallace
The author proposes separating "Communist Cities" from working people to prevent a civil war. We must, to the extent possible, separate Communist Cities from the people who actually work to support their families.
Failure to do so will result in Civil War.
The Constitution and working people demand that the Federal Government cease all unconstitutional payments to states. Our Constitution and the people who work demand that the Federal Establishment AKA Government stop all payments to states for all reasons not enumerated in the US Constitution.
It is argued that states should assume financial responsibility for their "Communist cities" and "Illegal Invaders" to reduce the likelihood of civil war. Most importantly, the states would then assume financial responsibility for their Communist cities and Illegal Invaders.
This would greatly reduce the probability of a Civil War between working MAGA people and able- bodied non-working Communists and their illegal Invaders in Communist Cities, which are also Sanctuary Cities.
The author predicts that "Communism fails when it runs out of other people’s money" and advocates expediting this failure before civil war escalates. We know that Communism fails when it runs out of other people’s money, and we want to expedite that failure before we have a Civil War between productive workers and parasitic Communists.
The Federal Government's deficit is attributed to unconstitutional expenses like foreign aid and wars for profit, which must be eliminated. If the Federal Government also wants to end its deficits, it will have to obey the Constitution and eliminate all unconstitutional expenses such as Foreign Aid, Wars for Profit, Troops stationed overseas, etc.
The current state of the US government is described as a "Criminal Enterprise" that ignores the Constitution, with officials seldom prosecuted for crimes. I maintain that a majority of the Government is in fact a Criminal Enterprise, with no legal authority from the Constitution.
Officials are seldom prosecuted for their crimes against the People, including Treason.
The failure of the FBI to prosecute government employees for theft and treason is identified as the single-most-important reason for current problems. Their failure constitutes Treason in itself!
Failure of the corrupt FBI to prosecute Government employees for theft and Treason is the single-most-important reason for our problems.
VII. ICE Raids, Asylum Policies, and Other Immigration Controversies, by Ron Unz
The Economist's recent cover story, "Scrap the Asylum System," indicates a surprising ideological reversal for the staunchly neoliberal publication. The Economist surely ranks as the world’s most influential newsweekly, and the cover story of its latest issue must have greatly surprised many longtime readers of that staunchly neoliberal publication.
The headline was “Scrap the Asylum System” and the inside pages fleshed out this emphatic statement in a leader backed by a long article.
Donald Trump's immigration-control measures are described as unprecedented in their harshness, involving masked federal officers and the deployment of National Guard and Marines. Over the last couple of months, Trump’s immigration-control measures have been unprecedented in their harshness, sending masked federal officers to snatch suspected illegal immigrants off the streets of our major cities, then deploying thousands of national guardsmen and marines to Los Angeles to intimidate and suppress the resulting public protests.
High-ranking elected officials, such as Senator Alex Padilla, have reportedly been arrested and manhandled for interfering with immigration operations. Last month Sen. Padilla attempted to ask Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem a probing question about immigration policies at her LA press conference, only to be manhandled, handcuffed, and thrown to the ground by members of her security detail, an incident that absolutely astonished me.
The fundamental factor shaping immigration policy is simple economics, where increased labor supply benefits employers at the expense of workers. Although sometimes obfuscated or overshadowed by other ideological issues, the largest single factor shaping immigration policy has usually been simple economics, namely the basic law of supply and demand.
A large increase in the supply of willing workers will naturally favor their employers, so business interests have traditionally supported heavy immigration, while workers and their advocates have taken the opposite side of the debate.
Cesar Chavez, a liberal icon, was a vigorous opponent of immigration, denouncing government failure to enforce laws and even organizing vigilante patrols. Consider, for example, the case of self-educated union activist Cesar Chavez, a liberal icon of the 1960s who today ranks as the top Latino figure in America’s progressive pantheon.
During nearly his entire career, Chavez stood as a vigorous opponent of immigration, especially of the undocumented variety, repeatedly denouncing the failure of the government to enforce its immigration laws due to the pervasive influence of the business lobby and even occasionally organizing vigilante patrols at the Mexican border.
The author notes that American elites across both major parties have adopted an "Open Borders" approach, which he describes as "lunatic dogma." The political reality is that both major parties are enormously dependent upon the business interests that greatly benefit from the current system and are also dominated by disparate ideologies—libertarian open-borders and multicultural open-borders—whose positions tend to coincide on this issue.
The reigning Democratic Party establishment ferociously vilified anyone who dared question the economic logic of their lunatic Open Borders dogma.
Donald Trump's populist and racially-charged insurgent candidacy leveraged the immigration issue to win the GOP nomination, capitalizing on the demographic changes and public discontent. Donald Trump suddenly made immigration his signature issue and used it to easily crush all his Republican establishment opponents in the primary and seize the GOP nomination for himself.
This opened the door to Trump’s populist, racially-charged insurgent candidacy.
Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders's acknowledgment that heavy foreign immigration aligns with free-market libertarian goals of driving down wages was met with sharp attacks from neoliberal pundits. Earlier this year, Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, an elderly individual with unabashed socialistic views, was interviewed by Vox’s Ezra Klein, and explained that “of course” heavy foreign immigration—let alone “open borders”—represented the economic dream of extreme free market libertarians such as the Koch brothers, since that policy would obviously drive down the wages of workers and greatly advantage Capital at the expense of Labor.
Faced with such sharp attacks by young and influential Democratic pundits less than half his age, Sanders soon retreated from his simple statement of fact, and henceforth avoided raising the immigration issue during the remainder of his campaign.
VIII. Obama’s Real Legacy Comes Into Focus, by J.B. Shurk
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard accused former President Barack Obama of organizing a coup d’état against his successor, describing it as a "treasonous conspiracy." Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard set off fireworks on Friday when she accused former president Barack Obama of organizing a coup d’état against his successor.
Summarizing the damning evidence in her possession, Gabbard concluded, “These documents detail a treasonous conspiracy by officials at the highest levels of the Obama White House to subvert the will of the American people.”
General Michael Flynn assessed Gabbard's allegations as "surreal" and noted her relentless attacks because "they knew if there were anyone with the guts to investigate the attempted coup, it would be her." General Michael Flynn, President Trump’s short-lived National Security Advisor, assessed the situation succinctly: “This is surreal.”
“This is why [Gabbard] was attacked so relentlessly over the past few weeks and months.
Gabbard stated that intelligence was politicized and weaponized by powerful Obama Administration officials to lay the groundwork for a "years-long coup" against President Trump. DNI Gabbard says that “intelligence was politicized and weaponized by the most powerful people in the Obama Administration to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President [Trump].”
Obama officials allegedly leaned on media allies and leaked classified information to advance falsehoods that Russia had intervened to hack the 2016 election. Furthermore, “Obama officials immediately leaned on their allies in the media to advance their falsehoods.
Anonymous IC sources leaked classified information to the Washington Post and others that Russia had intervened to hack the election in Trump’s favor.”
A list of high-ranking officials, including John Brennan, James Clapper, and John Kerry, are identified as "Russia Hoax plotters." Ezra Cohen, an Intelligence official who has served President Trump in various positions, highlighted the list of principals who conspired to blame Hillary Clinton’s 2016 election loss on the Russians.
That’s a “Who’s Who” list of Russia Hoax plotters.
The author contends that Obama and high-ranking members of his administration fabricated evidence to convince the American people that Russia stole the 2016 election and to incriminate President Trump. In other words, Obama and high-ranking members of his administration — including the Intelligence chiefs responsible for safeguarding the nation from foreign and domestic threats — fabricated evidence meant to convince the American people that Russia stole the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton.
Furthermore, this cabal of conspirators fabricated evidence meant to incriminate President Trump, convince Congress to remove him from office, and perhaps even convince a future jury to convict him for espionage and treason.
The Obama administration and Clinton campaign are accused of conducting a "color revolution" against the United States, intending to instigate a mass public uprising to overthrow the government. The Obama administration and Clinton campaign essentially conducted a “color revolution” against the United States.
It was their intention to instigate a mass public uprising that would force President Trump from office.
The Russia Collusion Hoax is identified not as a "dirty trick" but as "treason" and "sedition." Unfortunately, even in conservative circles, it is common to hear someone describe the Russia Collusion Hoax as a Democrat Party “dirty trick.”
This was not a “dirty trick.”
The conspirators' actions of blaming Russia for Hillary's loss are said to have compounded tensions between the world's two dominant nuclear powers for purely political reasons. When the departing Obama administration decided to blame Russia for Hillary’s 2016 loss, the conspirators compounded tensions between the world’s two dominant nuclear powers for purely political reasons.
Obama and his co-conspirators advanced an Intelligence operation that could have instigated a direct U.S.-Russia war.
IX. Screaming – Nuclear War Is Coming! “All This is Made Up to Scare You”, by Peter Koenig
Financial and geopolitical cycle analyst Martin Armstrong has issued a warning of a "100% chance of nuclear war," stating, "Plan on it, this is coming." The financial investment advisory guru, Martin Armstrong, has just issued another such warning to the world: 100% Chance of Nuclear War – Martin Armstrong | Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog , by Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com.
“The chances of war with a nuclear exchange is at 100%. . .. Plan on it, this is coming.”
The author views the continuous warnings of nuclear war as obnoxious attempts to instill fear and make people morally weak and submissive. The continuous yelling “Wolf” is obnoxious in many ways, because it has the intention to bring fear to the people, to make them morally weak, as they are afraid.
Fear achieves making people submissive, obedient, as they are afraid of authorities, of the unknown their beloved authorities may bring and so they give in against their own interests.
Armstrong's warnings are suggested to be part of "controlled opposition," possibly orchestrated by the Deep State or the military industrial complex. Armstrong is part of the “controlled opposition”, though not much opposition is seen, just aberrant warnings.
He may get his instructions from the Deep State – or some military industrial monster.
NATO is characterized as the world’s largest and most dangerous war and killing machine, responsible for tens of millions of deaths since its creation. NATO is the world’s largest and most dangerous war and killing machine.
Wars and conflicts initiated or participated in by NATO have caused at least 30 to 35 million deaths since its creation in 1949.
The author asserts that European heads of government are "implanted" through "fake elections" and trained by the WEF's Academy for Young Global Leaders. More important are all those European heads of government, implanted, literally with fake elections, all trained by the WEF’s Academy for Young Global Leaders (YGL), and the chief backers of the WEF.
The US has a budget of $1.3 trillion for nuclear arsenal renewal by 2035, and the EU aims for a trillion-euro military budget by 2030 to go to war with Russia. The US has a 1.3 trillion dollar budget foreseen just to renew and build up their nuclear arsenal by 2035.
The EU wants a trillion euros military budget by 2030, literally to go to war with Russia.
The author concludes that all these public pronouncements about war are designed to scare people, as a nuclear war would have no winners and global leaders would not truly seek their own destruction. All this is made public to scare you.
As Fidel Castro already said (see this) and many before and after him, including President Putin, a nuclear war is unpredictable and has no winners.
X. The U.S. Government Is Actually at Least $70 Trillion in Debt., by Eric Zuesse
The U.S. Government is accused of systematically under-reporting its net indebtedness to defraud those who trust it to repay financial obligations. A false ideology has driven the U.S. Government to systematically under-report its net indebtedness in order to be able to continue its defrauding the individuals and entities that trust it to repay its existing financial obligations.
Libertarianism, or neoliberalism, is presented as a false and "insane" ideology that claims privatization is better than socialization, despite empirical evidence to the contrary. The core of libertarianism (neoliberalism, as it’s called in Europe) is (as will be documented in the links here) the false and even insane idea that privatization is better than socialization; but the empirical truth is that in many instances, socialization is far better than privatization (and libertarians-neoliberals cannot accept that fact, because it would destroy their con).
Norway is cited as an excellent case example, having socialized its oil assets through Statoil (now Equinor), turning natural wealth into long-term national wealth and becoming one of the richest countries per person. Norway presents an excellent case-example of this falsity, even insanity, of (America’s ideology) libertarianism-neoliberalism, which ideology doesn’t drive Norway’s Government.
Instead of handing the oil to private companies, it took control.
Norway's Government Pension Fund Global (Oil Fund) is highlighted as the largest sovereign wealth fund in the world, worth around $1.7 trillion, designed to provide steady income for future generations. In 1990, Norway launched the Government Pension Fund Global.
Today, the fund is worth more than 1.6 trillion dollars.
America's total public debt, including official amounts and financial obligations like Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Medicare, and Social Security, is estimated at $87.5 trillion. America’s public debt (including not only the official amount of $36,655,280,579,113.61 but also Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Medicare, and Social Security, all of which are likewise financial obligations of the federal Government: $5T, and $45.8T) totals actually to $87.5T in U.S. Government debt ).
This debt translates to a significantly negative net worth for the average American adult, in contrast to Norway's non-existent public debt per person and positive net asset position. The median (average) U.S. adult has a net worth exclusive of Governmental obligations, of $112,157.
Less that $211,496 (Governmental obligations), this indicates that the total net worth of the average American is -$99,340 — half of Americans are richer, half are poorer, than minus $99,340.
The author claims that fascists, specifically Mussolini and Hitler, invented privatization, thereby linking fascism with libertarianism/neoliberalism. As that great social scientist and economic historian Bel has documented in two classic papers, Mussolini carried out the first privatization of governmental assets; and Hitler carried out the second one.
So, the fascists actually invented privatization — they were the original ‘libertarians’ or ‘neoliberals’.
America is identified as the world's most libertarian country, controlled by and for its billionaires, due to practices like privatization and policies favoring the super-rich. America is the world’s most libertarian (neoliberal) country.
Consequently, America is run by and for its billionaires.
It is revealed that a significant portion of the U.S. Government's debt stems from bailouts of the wealthy after the 2008 financial crash, with no prosecutions for those responsible. Large portions of the U.S. Government’s current debt are comprised of those bailouts of the wealthy.
No billionaire or top executive was prosecuted for any of it.
XI. Why Are We Christians?, by Laurent Guyénot
The author challenges the idea that Christianity spread through voluntary adoption or superior understanding, arguing that Western civilization's greatness stems primarily from its Helleno-Roman roots. A commenter wrote under my article “The Satanic False Flag” that I am missing the point that “Christianity spread through voluntary adoption,” and that “the willing adoption of Christianity by so many disparate people indicates what’s analogous to a superior technology, where Christianity clearly was a much better understanding of the transcendent compared to other faiths.”
The greatness of Western civilization, in science, in art, in philosophy, in politics, in ethics, stems primarily from its Helleno-Roman roots.
A critique of Christianity is deemed necessary for understanding the "Jewish question" and "Israeli question," and Christendom's complicity in Jewish Power. My fundamental premise is that it is necessary, not just for the betterment, but for the survival for the West, to get to the bottom of the Jewish question, and the bottom of it is the fake Jewish god (the god of the Jews who claimed to be God who claimed to have chosen the Jews to rule the world).
The Christian question is the flip side of the Jewish question, which has now become the Israeli question.
The author argues that Christianity "created paganism" by lumping all non-Christian cults under one label and was the most intolerant religion, which contributed to its triumph. There is a very real sense in which Christianity actually created paganism.
Perhaps Christianity won simply because it was the most intolerant religion, and therefore the most lethal to its competitors.
Constantine did not make Christianity the official religion immediately but made the Christian church the most-favored recipient of imperial resources, leading to lavish church building and legal privileges. Constantine did not make Christianity the official religion of the Roman empire, though this is often said of him.
What he did was to make the Christian church the most-favoured recipient of the near-limitless resources of imperial favour.
The promotion of Christianity was accompanied by heavy-handed discrimination against other religions, including the stripping of pagan temples of their wealth and the confiscation of their lands. The other side was the just as heavy-handed discrimination of all other religions (“paganism”).
The building and adornment of lavish churches, as well as Constantine’s abundant gold coinage (the solidus ), were done at the expense of pagan temples, which were deprived of public funds, expropriated, or destroyed.
Christian apologists and missionaries taught that all gods except the biblical Yahweh were demons conspiring to enslave humans, a conspiracy theory that justified attacking other cults. Christian apologists and missionaries taught that all gods but the biblical Yahweh are demons conspiring to enslave humans and lead them to hell.
Christian missionaries denounced the gods of “paganism” as crypto-devils.
Christianization involved the banning of animal sacrifices and defunding of public cults, which were central to the Roman way of life and deeply intertwined with social activities. Besides the arbitrary looting of temples beginning in 331, from which “tremendous wealth in precious metal … flowed into the imperial treasure” (Ramsay MacMullen), two legal measures were particularly damaging to non-Christian religious practices: the ban on animal sacrifices and the defunding of public cults.
Any banquet, any festival, any occasion for a shared carnal meal involved some kind of ritual invocation to the gods, so that banning animal sacrifices was not only perceived as an an insult to the gods; it was an assault against everything that made life worth living.
Religious discrimination intensified for civic careers, with non-Christians eventually prohibited from serving in the imperial bureaucracy, influencing conversions among the elite for opportunism rather than deep conviction. The 360s, under Gratian, were a pivotal time in the discrimination against non-Christians for civic careers, and in 408, the Western emperor Honorius decreed that non-Christians could no longer serve in the imperial administrative bureaucracy.
The alacrity with which many converted is a strong indication in itself that, for many, deep religious convictions were not in play.
The process of Christianization involved severe persecution and criminalization of non-Christian cults, with intellectuals particularly targeted, leading to torture and executions including crucifixion. After Julian “the apostate”, Valentinian and Valens (364-378) increased repression against non-Christian cults, often assimilated to sorcery.
“There was a great persecution of pagans, and many lost all their property,” writes Byzantine chronicler John Malalas.
Christian zealots, including monks, actively participated in the destruction of temples and statues, believing demons lodged within them, and causing more architectural and artistic damage than barbarians. Bishops could count on the active participation of violent monks, who “were taking into their own hands the enforcement of various imperial laws against pagan sacrifice” (Michael Gaddis).
These armies of zealots, “summoned forth from monasteries and basilicas by their leaders and watched benevolently or avenged by army units,” went about “destroying no doubt more of the architectural and artistic treasure of their world than any passing barbarians thereafter.”
Judaism was the only non-Christian religion that remained legal throughout the Roman Empire, justified as a witness to Christianity's truth. All but one: Judaism was the only non-Christian religion that remained legal throughout the Roman Empire, under the strange justification that the Jews were a witness to the truth of Christianity.
They compiled their Talmud (in other words they created Judaism) during the period studied in this article.
XII. Why Japan’s Shock Nationalist Turn Concerns the World, by g.calderon
Japan is currently undergoing a significant political realignment, with nationalist and populist voices gaining prominence after years on the sidelines. A major political realignment is taking place in the far east.
Japan’s nationalist and populist voices are stepping into the spotlight after being confined to the sidelines for years — and its impact is reaching much further than its own borders.
Japan's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) suffered a major electoral defeat, losing its grip on the upper house of parliament for the first time in a decade. Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), led by Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, has just suffered a major electoral defeat.
For the first time in a decade, the ruling coalition lost its grip on the upper house of parliament.
The Sanseito party, once a fringe nationalist movement, has surged in popularity by focusing on national pride, constitutional reform, defense, economic independence, and cultural preservation. The Sanseito party, a once-fringe nationalist movement, has surged in popularity and captured the attention of voters who find themselves fed up with the status quo.
Centred on themes of national pride, the party advocates for constitutional reform, a tougher stance on national defence, stronger economic independence, and a greater emphasis on preserving the country’s disappearing culture.
The rise of Sanseito reflects a growing number of voters' frustration with Japan's economic stagnation, shrinking population, and perceived erosion of cultural values. It’s no secret that Japan has been on poor economic form in the past few decades — we published a piece about this recently — and with almost non-existent growth, a shrinking population, and the general perception that cultural values are being eroded year by year, more people feel alienated from their country’s future.
Sanseito’s rise reflects a growing number of voters looking not just for a shift in policy, but in foundational principles too.
Sanseito's success is partly due to its effective use of social media platforms like YouTube, allowing it to reach audiences ignored by traditional media. Sanseito’s success is — at least in part — due to its ability to communicate outside the traditional boundaries of legacy media.
Effectively utilising social media platforms like YouTube has allowed the party to access an audience that had grown fed up with, and felt ignored by, the usual voices and their outlets.
Japan's shift is part of a broader global trend where populist-nationalist politics are moving from the fringes to the mainstream in various countries. This political turn is not happening in isolation.
Around the world, a similar undercurrent appears to be quietly reshaping the electoral landscape.
This shift in Japan could lead to an expansion of its military, increased defense spending, and a rebalancing of alliances with Western powers. With this shift in momentum could come a reshaping of Japan’s role in the region and the world as a whole.
Should the move to revise the postwar constitution come to fruition, there could be an expansion of the military, an increase in defence spending, and a rebalancing of the country’s alliance with western powers.
The emergence of Sanseito signals a recalibration of national identities and priorities, with cultural pride, national interest, and self-determination re-entering the mainstream. Sanseito’s emergence is a sign of something deeper than just a political upset.
It signals a recalibration of identities, priorities, and how people expect to be represented.
XIII. ☕️ CUTTING AT THE STEM ☙ Tuesday, July 22, 2025 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠, by Jeff Childers
Florida has passed a new stem cell therapy law, expanding access to regenerative medicine and defying federal biomedical gatekeepers. But yesterday, Florida Politics ran a quietly controversial but history-making story headlined, “Florida expands access to regenerative medicine with new stem cell therapy law.”
If you aren’t familiar with the issue, “stem cells” don’t actually come from dandelion stems or anything, which just adds to the confusion.
Stem cell therapy, or "regenerative medicine," uses the body's stem cells to repair damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and enhance healing, offering a "healing without harm" approach. Stem cell therapy is called “regenerative medicine.”
It uses the body’s primordial building blocks —stem cells— to repair damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and juice the healing process.
Due to tight FDA throttling, Americans seeking stem cell treatments have historically traveled abroad to countries like Panama, Mexico, and the Cayman Islands. Because the FDA has tightly throttled domestic stem cell treatments —lumping them in with experimental drugs requiring ages of preauthorization clinical trials— for years, Americans seeking the treatment have been heading off for places like Panama, Mexico, Colombia, and the Cayman Islands.
Florida's new law marks a historic assertion of state sovereignty in healthcare, establishing its own regulatory infrastructure independent from the FDA for stem cell treatments. Florida’s bill marked a rare and historic moment in American healthcare: a state deliberately challenging sluglike federal inertia in a cutting-edge field, by creating its own regulatory infrastructure independent from the FDA .
In legal terms, Florida’s new stem cell law is an assertion of state sovereignty in a difficult regulatory zone.
The Florida legislature's defiance of the federal health bureaucracy reflects a deep skepticism of federal medical gatekeepers among Floridians, influenced by post-pandemic experiences. After years of watching the FDA bungle public trust —from contradictory mask mandates to the heavy-handed suppression of off-label HCQ, antibody infusions, and ivermectin treatments— many Floridians, including lawmakers, now experience a deep, gnawing skepticism of federal medical gatekeepers.
Florida’s Republican legislature just defied the federal health bureaucracy and went its own way.
The new FDA Chief, Marty Makary, publicly acknowledged that "vaccine injury is real" and that he personally knows people injured or who lost loved ones from mRNA COVID vaccines. “Vaccine injury is real ,” Makary agreed.
“I personally know of people who have been injured by the vaccine.
Makary's statements signal that the era of "safe and effective" for vaccines is "officially over." The era of “safe and effective” is now officially over.
Well, Moses, smell the roses.
Moderna's stock is currently scraping along at an all-time low, trading below its pre-2020 period when it had no authorized products. Moderna is now garnering headlines like this: “Here's Why Moderna (MRNA) Fell More Than Broader Market.”
The mRNA stock is now scraping along a dead coral reef at an all-time low.
Representative Anna Paulina Luna sent a formal criminal referral to the DOJ investigating Fed Chair Jerome Powell for perjury regarding the Eccles Building renovations. Firebrand Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fl.) just stuffed an M-80 under the Federal Reserve by sending a formal criminal referral to the DOJ asking its prosecutors to investigate Fed Chair Jerome Powell for perjury before Congress.
According to Luna’s letter, Powell lied to the Senate about the now-notorious Eccles Building renovations — the Fed’s sleek marble HQ undergoing a two-billion-dollar facelift while Americans juggle 8% mortgages and maxed-out credit cards.
Perjury is described as one of the "easiest" federal charges to prosecute, requiring only a knowingly false material statement under oath, regardless of the individual's position. Perjury might sound like a mosquito of a charge, but as I’ve previously explained, perjury is not like sedition or bribery — it’s one of the easiest federal charges to prosecute.
And if Powell lied, it won’t matter that he runs the world’s most powerful central bank.
The sources strongly argue that the common terminology around Jeffrey Epstein's activities, particularly "Epstein Client List" and "black book," is misleading and unhelpful. Instead, a more sinister and elaborate operation is suggested:
"Voluntary Blackmail" for Career Advancement: Andrew Anglin asserts that Epstein was not merely a pimp, but a "Mossad agent offering the service of allowing people to give video of themselves having sex with underage girls to the Mossad, which would then allow them to advance in their career, as they would be marked as a trusted person by powerful Jews." This concept of "voluntary blackmail" implies that individuals willingly participated to gain favor and open doors within influential circles, much like corrupt cops taking a cut to be implicated, or mafia members committing crimes to prove loyalty.
Blackmail Material as "Ring of Power": The confirmed existence of "a safe containing hard drives and CD-ROMs with videos of men having sex with underage girls" is described as a "ring of power" type of blackmail. The expectation is that these videos, not a written list, are the crucial evidence.
Institutional Cover-up and Deflection: The sources suggest a concerted effort to deflect from the true nature of the operation. Pam Bondi's statement, "there is no Epstein Client List," is seen as technically true but deliberately misleading, allowing the government and "potentially involved" parties to avoid accountability. The repeated calls from the public are to "release the videos" or, at minimum, "the 'list' of the names of the people seen in the videos."
Trump's Complicity/Manipulation: Donald Trump's narrative that the Epstein files are a "Democrat plot" to smear him is dismissed as illogical and a likely attempt to avoid accountability. Anglin posits that "Bibi Netanyahu, who has a stranglehold on Trump and the whole US government, ordered Trump not to release these tapes and documents, and now Trump is forced to go on this 'just shut up about it' tour that makes him look guilty of sex crimes."
CIA/Mossad Connection: There is a recurring suspicion that Epstein worked for either the CIA or Mossad, or both, implying a deeper intelligence operation behind the sex trafficking. One commenter notes, "It is against the law to explicitly name CIA agents. Trump and Bondi may be up against that legal barrier. It actually seems like confirmation that Epstein worked for CIA."
A pervasive theme across multiple sources is the deep-seated distrust in government institutions, mainstream media, and established narratives due to a perceived history of deception and cover-ups.
JFK Assassination and CIA Lies: The Washington Post's apparent blasé attitude towards newly revealed CIA lies regarding the George Joannides matter in the JFK assassination is highlighted. The author, Jacob G. Hornberger, contends that the Post "cannot bring itself to think the unthinkable — that the lone-nut theory of the assassination is simply wrong — that the assassination was, in fact, a regime-change operation orchestrated and carried about by the U.S. national-security establishment." The 60 years of CIA lies are seen as "a puzzle piece that fits perfectly within the overall mosaic of a national-security state regime-change operation."
Obama Administration "Coup d'État": DNI Tulsi Gabbard is reported to have accused former President Barack Obama of organizing a "coup d’état" against his successor, calling it a "treasonous conspiracy by officials at the highest levels of the Obama White House to subvert the will of the American people." This accusation stems from the alleged fabrication of evidence to push the "Trump-Russia collusion narrative," leading to a "color revolution" aimed at overthrowing the U.S. government.
Federal Reserve and Financial Deception: David Stockman vehemently criticizes the Federal Reserve, arguing that its "incompetence" and "fiat central bank money" have led to a "fabricated" journey of long-term interest rates. He asserts that the Fed and foreign central banks have used "big fat thumbs on the supply and demand scales in the bond pits of the world like never before imagined," creating an artificial financial environment.
Government Debt Underreporting: Eric Zuesse claims the U.S. Government systematically underreports its net indebtedness, stating that the actual debt, including obligations like Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Medicare, and Social Security, totals at least "$87.5T in U.S. Government debt." This is attributed to a "false ideology" of libertarianism/neoliberalism, which favors privatization at the public's expense.
Media Complicity: The mainstream press is repeatedly implicated in perpetuating these deceptions, either by "mindlessly endors[ing]" elite consensus (e.g., "Open Borders" immigration policies) or by failing to investigate critical issues, as seen in the JFK and Epstein cases. Ron Unz notes the public's "equal distrust in the mainstream press."
Several sources point to a global trend of rising nationalism and populism, driven by economic stagnation, concerns over cultural identity, and perceived failures of traditional political parties.
Japan's Nationalist Turn: Japan's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) suffered a significant electoral defeat, with the "once-fringe nationalist movement," Sanseito party, gaining considerable popularity. Sanseito advocates for "constitutional reform, a tougher stance on national defence, stronger economic independence, and a greater emphasis on preserving the country’s disappearing culture." This is seen as a reflection of voters "fed up with the status quo" and feeling "alienated from their country’s future."
Global Trend of Populist-Nationalism: Japan's shift is presented as part of a broader global phenomenon, with similar movements "moving from the fringes to the front row" in Germany (AfD), Argentina (Javier Milei), France (Marine Le Pen), and the Netherlands (Geert Wilders). These movements are characterized by themes of "self-determination, cultural coherence, and national pride," and are seen as calls for "restoration" rather than revolution.
"Communist Cities" and Civil War: Andrew Wallace advocates for "constitutionally separat[ing] Communist Cities from the people who actually work to support their families" to prevent "Civil War." He blames "unlawful[ly] usurped" federal functions and the financial burden of "Illegal Invaders" for societal problems, viewing "non-working Communists and their illegal Invaders in Communist Cities" as parasitic.
Immigration as an Economic and Social Issue: Ron Unz discusses how "the largest single factor shaping immigration policy has usually been simple economics, namely the basic law of supply and demand." He argues that large increases in the supply of willing workers benefit employers at the expense of labor, leading to "economic stagnation for most Americans." Trump's harsh immigration policies, though controversial, tapped into widespread popular discontent ignored by political elites.
The sources discuss a significant shift in public sentiment regarding medical authority and the role of government in healthcare, particularly concerning vaccines.
US Defunding GAVI and Gates' Concerns: The United States, under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has announced it will "halt funding to GAVI, the Vaccine Alliance, citing concerns over vaccine safety." Bill Gates, a major GAVI funder, expressed alarm, stating that "All the progress we’ve made is at risk" due to a $30 billion decrease in aid.
Vaccine Safety and Profit Motives: The article questions the narrative of vaccines as purely beneficial, citing RFK Jr.'s assertion that GAVI "has neglected the key issue of vaccine safety." It claims that "vaccines are not making children healthier" and that Gates profits "enormously from children’s sickness and disease globally," citing his estimation of a "20 to 1 return for investments in vaccines."
Stem Cell Therapy as "Medical Freedom": Florida has passed a new law expanding access to regenerative medicine via stem cell therapy, "defying the federal biomedical gatekeepers" and creating its "own regulatory infrastructure independent from the FDA." This is framed as an assertion of "state sovereignty" and a "moonshot for the Sunshine State," driven by "deep, gnawing skepticism of federal medical gatekeepers" following the pandemic. The movement is characterized as a "wild political inversion," shifting from "tree-hugging, panda-petting, granola-crunching left" to the "libertarian wing of the conservative base."
FDA Acknowledges Vaccine Injury: New FDA Chief Marty Makary is quoted acknowledging vaccine injury is "real" and that he "personally know[s] of friends who have lost a loved one from the mRNA covid vaccine." This is seen as a significant shift, signaling that "The era of 'safe and effective' is now officially over."
A recurring theme is the re-examination of historical events and religious narratives, often with a critical lens on the role of power, control, and manipulation.
Christianity as a Tool of Imperial Control: Laurent Guyénot's article, "Why Are We Christians?", argues that Christianity's spread was not primarily through "voluntary adoption" but rather through "imperial heavy-handed promotion" and "just as heavy-handed discrimination of all other religions ('paganism')." He posits that Christianity "was sold to the Romans by the greatest religious peddlers, the Jews, as their god’s Trojan Horse into the Gentile city," and that it "won not because it was the best for us, but because it was the worst."
Paganism as Suppressed Tradition: "Paganism" is defined not as a single religion, but as the "totality of social life" in the Roman Empire, deeply integrated with art, festivals, sport, and community life. Its suppression by Christianity involved the "stripping of roofs, demolition of walls, the tearing down of statues and the overthrow of altars," leading to "utter desolation."
Conspiracy Theory as Christian Doctrine: Guyénot claims that "Christian apologists and missionaries taught that all gods but the biblical Yahweh are demons conspiring to enslave humans and lead them to hell," thereby framing Christianity itself as a "conspiracy theory."
Nuclear War Warnings as Psychological Manipulation: Peter Koenig dismisses warnings of impending nuclear war from figures like Martin Armstrong as "obnoxious" and "outright criminal," designed to "bring fear to the people, to make them morally weak, as they are afraid." He suggests such warnings are part of "controlled opposition" orchestrated by the "Deep State – or some military industrial monster. Who knows, maybe NATO," to achieve "full enslavement and tyranny."
welcome to the lenny and Maria sanchez deep dive podcast show.
We begin today with a look at the terminology surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, drawing from the source ""Epstein Client List" is an Unhelpful Bit of Terminology and Presumably a Misnomer." This source suggests that the phrase "Epstein Client List" is considered unhelpful and a misnomer, with a preference for terms like "videos" or "files". It posits that Jeffrey Epstein was not merely a pimp, but rather a Mossad agent who facilitated a form of "voluntary blackmail," where powerful individuals were filmed engaging in illicit sexual acts to advance their careers and be marked as trusted by influential figures. The author questions the existence of a literal "list," arguing that Epstein likely had a safe full of video evidence, rendering a separate written list redundant. Furthermore, the source speculates that the bulk of this blackmail material might be held by Mossad or other affluent Jewish individuals, rather than solely on Epstein's property. The author also critically examines Donald Trump's strategy regarding the Epstein matter, proposing that Trump should expose it as a Mossad blackmail operation, even if he himself is implicated, as the sex offenses are deemed less severe than enabling foreign control over U.S. politics.
Next, we turn to an analysis of global finance from the source "'Reserve Currency' My Eye!" This piece heavily criticizes the Federal Reserve and other central banks for their role in manipulating long-term interest rates and the yield curve, advocating instead for interest rates to be determined by free private markets. The source highlights that the shift to fiat money after 1971 enabled extensive central bank intervention, which led to an artificially suppressed bond yield for decades. It points out that foreign central banks significantly acquired U.S. Treasury debt, increasing their holdings to counteract the Federal Reserve's inflationary dollar policies and to prevent their own currencies from appreciating. The author concludes that the U.S. dollar's status as a "reserve currency" has not been in its classic sense since August 1971, largely due to these manipulative financial practices.
Our third source for discussion, "After the US defunds GAVI, Bill Gates declares: “All the progress we’ve made is at risk”," details a significant shift in U.S. policy. According to this source, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced a halt in U.S. funding to GAVI, the Vaccine Alliance, citing concerns over vaccine safety. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stated that "Business as usual is over" and "Unaccountable policymaking is over" in relation to GAVI's operations. The source notes Bill Gates's public reaction to these cuts, where he expressed alarm over a $30 billion decrease in aid, stating, "All the progress we’ve made is at risk". The article explicitly argues that vaccines cause harm and are primarily driven by profit for individuals like Bill Gates, citing his estimated 20-to-1 return on vaccine investments and a specific stock transaction involving BioNTech as evidence of a "pump-and-dump" scheme. It also highlights that the United Kingdom's continued financial commitment to GAVI is primarily motivated by economic growth and job creation within its health companies, rather than public health considerations.
Moving on, the source "Déjà Vu on JFK at the Washington Post" presents a critique of media and government transparency. It states that the CIA has been continuously lying for over 60 years regarding the George Joannides matter in connection with the JFK assassination. The Washington Post is criticized for its perceived "blasé attitude" towards this revelation, maintaining the "lone-nut theory" and failing to demand a deeper investigation into what is suggested to be a "regime-change operation" orchestrated by the U.S. national-security establishment. The article points out a recurring pattern where mainstream media outlets, including the Post, report on significant suspicious facts—such as evidence of a fraudulent JFK autopsy with two brain exams—but then fail to conduct follow-up investigative journalism. The author concludes that this perceived failure contributes to a widespread distrust of both the government and the mainstream press among the American people.
Our fifth source, "Gaza Isn’t Starving, It Is Being Starved," addresses the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The source reports an increase in malnutrition-related deaths in Gaza, with people collapsing in the streets and Israeli forces accused of massacres against starving civilians seeking aid. The author asserts that the situation in Gaza is not a natural famine but rather a "deliberately manufactured starvation campaign, implemented with genocidal intent," enabled by the support of Western governments, particularly the United States. The article argues that achieving a ceasefire and ensuring the flow of humanitarian aid are not complex issues; rather, they are intentionally obstructed by actions of Western and Israeli entities, including the cutting of aid to UNRWA and the monopolization of aid delivery through the "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation".
For our sixth source, "How to Constitutionally Separate Communist Cities Without Civil War," the author proposes a radical restructuring of governmental power. The central idea is to constitutionally separate "Communist Cities"—also referred to as "Sanctuary Cities"—from productive citizens. This separation would involve the Federal Government ceasing all unconstitutional payments to states and instead returning a larger portion of collected income taxes to the states, thereby making states financially responsible for their "Communist cities" and "Illegal Invaders". The source criticizes the federal government's significant overspending and unconstitutional expenditures, suggesting that these practices are leading to a dystopia and a potential civil war between "working MAGA people" and "parasitic Communists". The Federal Bureau of Investigation is labeled a "Criminal Enterprise" for its alleged failure to prosecute government officials for crimes like treason, and it is suggested that it should be disbanded and replaced by state militias.
The seventh source, "ICE Raids, Asylum Policies, and Other Immigration Controversies," explores the impact of Donald Trump's immigration policies. It notes a surprising shift in the Economist's stance on immigration, from traditionally pro-immigration to advocating for the dismantling of the asylum system, a change possibly influenced by Donald Trump's "strident anti-immigration policies". The source highlights specific actions taken by the Trump administration, including ICE raids by masked federal officers, the deployment of national guardsmen and marines to suppress protests, and the arrest of elected officials for interfering with immigration operations, exemplified by the incident involving Senator Alex Padilla. The author discusses the economic effects of immigration, stating that the supply and demand of labor fundamentally influence immigration policy, benefiting employers at the expense of workers. It points out that Donald Trump's political success in 2016 was largely due to his focus on immigration, tapping into public anxieties regarding demographic changes, despite later criticism of his follow-through on campaign promises.
Continuing our deep dive, we examine "Obama’s Real Legacy Comes Into Focus." This source reveals that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has accused former President Barack Obama of organizing a "treasonous conspiracy" and "coup d’état" against President Trump. Gabbard's allegations claim that Obama and high-ranking officials engaged in politicizing intelligence and leaking false information to the media to create the "Russia Hoax" narrative, aiming to frame Trump and destabilize his administration. The source lists prominent individuals, including Susan Rice, John Brennan, and James Clapper, as alleged "Russia Hoax plotters". These actions are explicitly characterized as "treason" and "sedition," which reportedly damaged America's international reputation and risked a direct conflict with Russia.
Our ninth source, "Screaming – Nuclear War Is Coming! 'All This Is Made Up to Scare You'," offers a critical perspective on geopolitical warnings. The author dismisses financial advisor Martin Armstrong's warning of a "100% chance of nuclear war" as "outright criminal" fear-mongering, suggesting it lacks solid evidence. The source posits that such warnings are designed to make people "submissive" and "obedient," serving to attract investors to the war industry and possibly orchestrated by entities like the "Deep State" or NATO. NATO itself is described as the "world’s largest and most dangerous war and killing machine," responsible for a significant number of deaths since its inception. The article claims that European leaders, allegedly influenced by organizations such as the World Economic Forum, are promoting vast military budgets to justify a "War is Peace and Peace is War" doctrine. The author encourages listeners to reject this war propaganda and prioritize "Peace and Harmony," emphasizing that a nuclear conflict would have no winners.
Next, we delve into "The U.S. Government Is Actually at Least $70 Trillion in Debt." This source contends that the U.S. government systematically under-reports its net indebtedness, which it claims defrauds individuals and entities relying on its financial obligations. The total U.S. government debt, encompassing official figures, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Medicare, and Social Security, is estimated to be $87.5 trillion, resulting in a negative net worth for the average American adult. This grim financial state is contrasted with Norway's positive net asset position, attributed to its policy of "socializing" its oil assets through state-owned companies and a sovereign wealth fund, rather than privatizing them. The source critiques "libertarianism," also called "neoliberalism," as a "false and even insane ideology" that benefits the "super-rich" at the expense of others and is historically linked to fascism. It asserts that America, being the "world’s most libertarian (neoliberal) country," is run by and for its billionaires. The author calls for a "Second American Revolution" to address these systemic issues, including the government's alleged lies and its military-industrial complex.
Turning to historical analysis, we examine "Why Are We Christians?" This source challenges the common narrative that Christianity spread through voluntary adoption or inherent superiority, instead arguing that its victory was largely due to imperial enforcement and its intolerance of other faiths. The author posits that Western civilization's true foundation lies in its Hellenistic-Roman roots, not Christian revelation. The article describes the Christianization of the Roman Empire as a process of "depaganization," involving the systematic destruction of other cults, confiscation of temple assets, and suppression of social activities associated with paganism. It highlights that discrimination, criminalization, and severe persecution, including torture and crucifixion, were methods used to enforce conversion. Notably, Judaism is pointed out as the only non-Christian religion that remained legal throughout the Roman Empire during this period.
Finally, our last source, "Why Japan’s Shock Nationalist Turn Concerns the World," discusses recent political developments in Japan. The source highlights a significant political realignment in Japan, marked by the rise of the nationalist Sanseito party, which has gained popularity due to public dissatisfaction with economic stagnation and a perceived erosion of cultural identity. The Sanseito party's platform includes constitutional reform, strengthening national defense, and promoting economic and cultural independence. The article frames this trend in Japan as part of a broader global surge in populist-nationalist movements, characterized by a desire for "restoration" of national self-determination and cultural pride. This political shift in Japan is anticipated to have regional and global implications, particularly concerning the country's military, defense spending, and its international alliances.
