Here are 30 key takeaway points from the sources, presented in the requested format:

1. Judaism is presented as a corrupt form of the original Hebrew faith, deeply rooted in ancient, malevolent, and even demonic origins. Cato’s Substack Judaism is really Babylonian Talmudic Pharisaism - and it runs today’s world. by Cato Dezorra
   
   

   • The powerful effect the Jewish religion has on the rest of the world, often a destructive one, has ancient, malevolent, and even demonic roots - ones that shape the world we live in today.

   • At its most simple, the Jewish faith is actually a corruption of the original Hebrew faith set forth in the Torah (a faith that was already based on racial and spiritual supremacy and extremely morally questionable).

2. The topic of the Jewish religion's alleged destructive effect on the world is highly controversial and often avoided due to fears of being labeled "racist" or "Nazi-adjacent." Cato’s Substack Judaism is really Babylonian Talmudic Pharisaism - and it runs today’s world. by Cato Dezorra
   
   

   • It is a controversial topic, to say the least, one most people can’t even bring themselves to begin contemplating.

   • As a result, most people won’t even scratch the surface of this topic, for fear of what they might find, who they might end up associated with, and how it may threaten their worldview.

3. The author, Cato, states that their research into global crimes and corruption led them to connect Jews with nearly every high-level event or agenda. Cato’s Substack Judaism is really Babylonian Talmudic Pharisaism - and it runs today’s world. by Cato Dezorra
   
   

   • It was only after years of focused, intense research into the crimes and corruption that plague the entire modern world that I began to make connections between Jews and nearly every single high-level event, operation, or agenda that is agitating humanity in our time.

   • The pattern is undeniable – there is a preponderance of Jews in nearly every one of them, far surpassing their minuscule numbers as a percentage of the population.

4. There is a claim that every U.S. President since Carter must sign a pledge affirming Judaism's "Noahide Laws" as the foundation of U.S. law. Cato’s Substack Judaism is really Babylonian Talmudic Pharisaism - and it runs today’s world. by Cato Dezorra
   
   

   • Every president since Carter must sign a pledge reaffirming Judaism’s “Noahide Laws” as the foundation of U.S. law, and honoring the cult’s leader on his birthday.

   • This is hard for most people to even consider, much less accept as true.

5. The "why" behind the alleged Jewish influence is traced back to ancient times, specifically to a "malevolent values system" called "the inverted moral code." Cato’s Substack Judaism is really Babylonian Talmudic Pharisaism - and it runs today’s world. by Cato Dezorra
   
   

   • That “why” has been the focus of my research as it pertains to this topic, and I’ve been able to trace the origin of “why” all the way back to ancient times.

   • It goes back deep into history, much further than most people would ever think to look, and has to do with a malevolent values system that originated deep in the BC era that I call “the inverted moral code”.

6. This "inverted moral code" embraces beliefs typically perceived as evil by other cultures and considers anything advantageous, even unfair, to be virtuous. Cato’s Substack Judaism is really Babylonian Talmudic Pharisaism - and it runs today’s world. by Cato Dezorra
   
   

   • This moral code of theirs is “inverted” because it embraces many of the beliefs other religions and cultures perceive to be evil, and eschews many of the beliefs that are considered to be good.

   • Anything that puts them at an advantage – even if done unfairly – is ultimately considered virtuous.

7. The "inverted moral code" views non-Jews as "livestock" for exploitation and emphasizes racial and spiritual superiority. Cato’s Substack Judaism is really Babylonian Talmudic Pharisaism - and it runs today’s world. by Cato Dezorra
   
   

   • Non-Jews are seen as a kind of livestock that exists only to serve as beasts of burden, or to be milked (usually of wealth).

   • Racial and spiritual superiority over all others is a core value.

8. The chief manifestations of this code are mastery of lies, deceptive wordplay, and manipulation of money as a tool of social control. Cato’s Substack Judaism is really Babylonian Talmudic Pharisaism - and it runs today’s world. by Cato Dezorra
   
   

   • The chief way this is manifested is in the mastery of lies and deceptive wordplay, though the manipulation of money as a tool of social control plays a very central role as well - and it has since ancient times.

   • However, if we take a deeper look at the Jewish moral code, and the book in which it has been codified – the Babylonian Talmud – we find that malevolence, perversion, and in many cases, even demonic black magic is actually very much baked into the pie of the Jewish faith.

9. Historical expulsions of Jews from societies are often attributed to reasons like witchcraft, moral corruption, and ritual murder. Cato’s Substack Judaism is really Babylonian Talmudic Pharisaism - and it runs today’s world. by Cato Dezorra
   
   

   • This is why, of all the over 1000 times Jews have been expelled from a society of any size, from city-states to empires, the reasons fall into only a handful of categories – and among the top few have always been witchcraft, moral corruption, and ritual murder.

   • A famous 1493 woodcut of the story of Simon of Trent (1472-1475), an Italian child whose death was blamed on the leaders of the city’s Jewish community; in the Middle Ages, hundreds of allegations across many centuries in communities all over Europe were made that Jews used Christian children in blood sacrifice rituals.

10. The Torah is falsely believed to be the core religious text of Judaism, while the Jewish faith is portrayed as a corruption of the original Hebrew faith. Cato’s Substack Judaism is really Babylonian Talmudic Pharisaism - and it runs today’s world. by Cato Dezorra
    
    

    • Most people falsely believe that the Torah is the core religious text of Judaism, but that is very far from the truth.

    • At its most simple, the Jewish faith is actually a corruption of the original Hebrew faith set forth in the Torah (a faith that was already based on racial and spiritual supremacy and extremely morally questionable).

11. Judaism is presented as an amalgamation of belief systems, not a single unadulterated faith, transformed by rebellion against God and contact with ancient demonic cults. Cato’s Substack Judaism is really Babylonian Talmudic Pharisaism - and it runs today’s world. by Cato Dezorra
    
    

    • This makes Judaism not a single, unadulterated faith (which is what they tirelessly proclaim it as) but rather an amalgamation of different belief systems that has come about gradually over the course of the nearly 5800 years it has been in existence.

    • On the contrary, the Jewish faith has been so transformed by its own rebellion against God, and through intimate contact with ancient demonic cults, that it has become nearly its own opposite.

12. The Bible reportedly details the Hebrew people's rebellion against their God, YHWH, including making an idol and incorporating other deities. Cato’s Substack Judaism is really Babylonian Talmudic Pharisaism - and it runs today’s world. by Cato Dezorra
    
    

    • The story of the rebellion of the Hebrew people against their own God is in fact elaborated on in detail in the Bible itself.

    • They do this in numerous ways across the many centuries the Torah covers, most commonly by drifting away from monotheism and incorporating the worship of various other near Eastern deities into their lives, especially when YHWH is absent from his people (which, as stated in the Torah, at times lasts for decades).

13. The Torah reportedly paints a picture of YHWH as a malevolent and ruthless deity who promotes a value system of brutal effectiveness for harvesting wealth and conquering land. Cato’s Substack Judaism is really Babylonian Talmudic Pharisaism - and it runs today’s world. by Cato Dezorra
    
    

    • Already a picture has been painted of a malevolent and ruthless Jewish deity in the Torah, which is very much a story of people guided and mentored by a powerful and conquering spiritual entity.

    • Countless stories in the Torah demonstrate that this god, who finally gives himself the name YHWH2 late in Exodus, promotes a values system not of morality or good will, but one of pure, calculated, and brutal effectiveness, especially when it comes to harvesting wealth or conquering land.

14. YHWH allegedly punishes faltering loyalty severely through genocide, invasion, enslavement, or exile. Cato’s Substack Judaism is really Babylonian Talmudic Pharisaism - and it runs today’s world. by Cato Dezorra
    
    

    • That faltering loyalty is always punished severely by YHWH when he returns: sometimes by genocide; sometimes by invasion and defeat at the hands of a rival army; sometimes by enslavement; and sometimes, even by complete exile from the very land they conquered on his behalf.

    • Throughout this process, the faith of the Hebrews (or Israelites as they would later be called, eventually assuming the name “Jews”) would be variously corrupted by other regional influences across the centuries, and their several periods of exile among other peoples would exacerbate this process.

15. The Hebrews were influenced by Egyptian polytheism, occult rituals, and sorcery during their residence in Egypt. Cato’s Substack Judaism is really Babylonian Talmudic Pharisaism - and it runs today’s world. by Cato Dezorra
    
    

    • Arguably, this process started in Egypt, where the Hebrews resided for four centuries (most of which was not in slavery; in fact the Hebrews left Egypt with the equivalent of at least millions of dollars worth of gold, as told in Exodus).

    • ...and where polytheism, occult rituals, and various types of sorcery were routinely practiced by the Egyptian priestly class.

16. After conquering Canaan, the Hebrews reportedly commingled with Canaanites and adopted their worship of multiple gods, ritual orgies, sex magick, and human sacrifice. Cato’s Substack Judaism is really Babylonian Talmudic Pharisaism - and it runs today’s world. by Cato Dezorra
    
    

    • After their escape - or possibly expulsion - from Egypt, the Hebrews also would go on to take on the influence of the Canaanites after conquering their land (the region long promised to the patriarchs throughout Genesis).

    • Despite YHWH’s very specific instructions to not commingle with the Canaanites once they subdued the region, they do it anyway, and they are henceforth influenced by their worship of multiple gods (El, Ba’al, and Moloch among them) and the ritual orgies, sex magick, and human sacrifice used to honor them.

17. Babylon had the greatest impact on the Jewish faith in ancient times, especially after the Babylonian Exile. Cato’s Substack Judaism is really Babylonian Talmudic Pharisaism - and it runs today’s world. by Cato Dezorra
    
    

    • It is Babylon that will ultimately have the greatest impact on the Jewish faith in ancient times.

    • This event would become known as the Babylonian Exile, and it would have a profound effect on the practices, belief systems, and ways of life of the Jewish people from then on, not to mention, become a defining event in Jewish history and identity.

18. Babylonian spirituality involved polytheism, occult ceremonies, orgies, ritual sex, and human sacrifice. Cato’s Substack Judaism is really Babylonian Talmudic Pharisaism - and it runs today’s world. by Cato Dezorra
    
    

    • Babylon’s spirituality, like that of Canaan and other Mesopotamian civilizations, was polytheistic, and engaged heavily in occult faith ceremonies, orgies, ritual sex (including even “temple prostitutes”) and human sacrifice.

    • Most interestingly, Babylon was the origin of what today would be considered “central banking,” a monetary system where the entire economy is influenced by a central entity with the power to levy taxes, spend according to national priorities, and most importantly, issue fiat currency.

19. Jewish elites, particularly of the priestly and merchant class, were significantly influenced by Babylon's economic, trade, and monetary theories. Cato’s Substack Judaism is really Babylonian Talmudic Pharisaism - and it runs today’s world. by Cato Dezorra
    
    

    • Babylon was the center of the economic world at the time, and as the Israelites held in Babylon were not commoners but wealthy and educated elites of the priestly and merchant class, they were doubtlessly influenced by its fluency in economics, trade and monetary theory.

    • As a result of Jewish elites of the priestly class commingling with, and learning from, the Babylonians with respect to religious, social, and economic matters, a new evolution of “Judaism” takes form, which will become known as Pharisaism.

20. Pharisaism emerged from the Babylonian influence, and Jesus Christ fiercely admonished its practitioners. Cato’s Substack Judaism is really Babylonian Talmudic Pharisaism - and it runs today’s world. by Cato Dezorra
    
    

    • As a result of Jewish elites of the priestly class commingling with, and learning from, the Babylonians with respect to religious, social, and economic matters, a new evolution of “Judaism” takes form, which will become known as Pharisaism.

    • The elite practitioners of this belief system were the Pharisees, who would later be fiercely admonished by Jesus Christ in his spiritual revolt against them, characterizing them as being “the children of the Devil” (John 8:44), a “brood of vipers” (Matthew12:34), and the “synagogue of Satan.” (Rev 2:9; Rev 3:9).

21. Post-exile Judaism's surge in economic and mercantile expertise, and obsession with money, are attributed purely to Babylonian influence. Cato’s Substack Judaism is really Babylonian Talmudic Pharisaism - and it runs today’s world. by Cato Dezorra
    
    

    • As their civilization rises again, it will display a surge forward of economic and mercantile expertise, and a particular obsession with money (especially lending) in a way that is nowhere sourced in the Bible.

    • ...that is because those characteristics of post-exile Judaiasm are purely Babylonian.

22. Many occult aspects of the Babylonian religion were also brought back by the Jews and eventually compiled into the Talmud. Cato’s Substack Judaism is really Babylonian Talmudic Pharisaism - and it runs today’s world. by Cato Dezorra
    
    

    • But it wasn’t only financial expertise that followed the Jews home from Babylon. Many aspects of their occult religion did too.

    • It was only in those centuries following the total defeat of Judea at the hands of the Romans, and the dispersion that follows, that rabbis throughout the Old World compiled all the aspects of their religion into what eventually became a single collection of volumes: the Talmud.

23. The Babylonian version of the Talmud, described as more occultic and sinister, became the authoritative religious, moral, and legal code for all Jews. Cato’s Substack Judaism is really Babylonian Talmudic Pharisaism - and it runs today’s world. by Cato Dezorra
    
    

    • For a time, there were two versions – one Palestinian, and the other Babylonian.

    • But the more occultic and sinister Babylonian version was more widely adopted, and during the Middle Ages became the authoritative religious, moral, and legal code for ALL Jews, even in dispersion.

24. The "Book" that unifies Jews is the Babylonian Talmud, not the Bible, a fact largely unknown outside their community. Cato’s Substack Judaism is really Babylonian Talmudic Pharisaism - and it runs today’s world. by Cato Dezorra
    
    

    • As a result, the Jews earned the moniker “the people of the Book,” since they were so closely unified as a people by their religious text, even with the total absence of a homeland.

    • But the “Book” in question is not the Bible – it is the Babylonian Talmud (which few outside their own community are aware of).

25. During the Middle Ages, occultic and ritualistic aspects of Judaism, like the Zohar, Gematria, and Kabbalah, became more developed. Cato’s Substack Judaism is really Babylonian Talmudic Pharisaism - and it runs today’s world. by Cato Dezorra
    
    

    • During the Middle Ages, the occultic and ritualistic aspects of their religion would become much more thoroughly developed, adding texts such as the Zohar, numerology known as Gematria, and a mystical tradition that will become known as Kabbalah.

    • ...which is extensively practiced today, both by Chasidic Jews, and by many non-Jews, often in the form of Freemasonry and other “Luciferian” secret societies.

26. Modern Judaism possesses attributes of malevolent and occultic ancient religions, masquerading as monotheistic while incorporating sorcery and demonology. Cato’s Substack Judaism is really Babylonian Talmudic Pharisaism - and it runs today’s world. by Cato Dezorra
    
    

    • This is why the Jewish faith today has so many attributes of the malevolent and occultic ancient religions - because that is essentially what it is at its core.

    • It masquerades as a monotheistic religion, but adds in extensive sorcery and demonology, a complex legal code based primarily on the central theory that all non-Jews are subhuman animals and thus unworthy of full legal rights, and also permits countless morally repugnant practices, ranging from pedophilic sex, to blood rituals, to deceptive business practices, to human slavery.

27. Judaism is summarized as a blend of "bad" ancient religions, adapted to a parasitic and exploitative way of life perfected over 2000 years. Cato’s Substack Judaism is really Babylonian Talmudic Pharisaism - and it runs today’s world. by Cato Dezorra
    
    

    • It is a blend of many ancient religions – all of them bad – and adapted to a parasitic and exploitative way of life that Jews have practiced and perfected for over 2000 years.

    • Thus the religion called Judaism today is really Babylonian Talmudic/Kabbalistic Pharisaism.

28. The current Jewish faith is characterized by racial exclusivity, ruthlessness, demonic beliefs, black magic (Kabbalah), and sophisticated "money magic." Cato’s Substack Judaism is really Babylonian Talmudic Pharisaism - and it runs today’s world. by Cato Dezorra
    
    

    • The racial exclusivity and ruthlessly conquering attitude of ancient Yahwehism.

    • And the utilization of commerce, law, and sophisticated “money magic” from ancient Babylon that has become so fundamental to Jewish life, it has become part of their religion itself.

29. Judaism is described as having a legal and philosophical code rooted in racial and spiritual supremacy, incorporating occultic aspects that uninformed Christians would call "Satanic." Cato’s Substack Judaism is really Babylonian Talmudic Pharisaism - and it runs today’s world. by Cato Dezorra
    
    

    • It has a fanatically thoroughly-developed legal and philosophical code rooted in the fundamental principle of racial and spiritual supremacy.

    • And it incorporates extensive occultic aspects into its symbolism, rituals, and prophecies, in a manner that virtually any Christian - if uninformed about their origins - would immediately describe as “Satanic”.

30. The author concludes that Jews are an ancient people with a belief system rooted in conquest, exploitation, parasitism, and demonology, hidden under a veil of Christian-friendly monotheism. Cato’s Substack Judaism is really Babylonian Talmudic Pharisaism - and it runs today’s world. by Cato Dezorra
    
    

    • The Jews today are an ancient people, with an ancient belief system, which is rooted in conquest, exploitation, parasitism, and demonology; it has had thousands of years to not only perfect its crafts, but to figure out how to keep it all hidden under a veil of Christian-friendly monotheism so it can continue to operate.

    • And as long as the gentile societies of today’s world fail to understand all this, their conquest of the world, the looting of its wealth and property, and its moral and spiritual degeneration will not just continue – it will accelerate, until there is nothing else left.

Here are 30 key takeaway points from the provided sources, formatted as requested:

I. ☕️ TOLD YOU SO ☙ Tuesday, June 24, 2025 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠 AND Jeff Childers

1. World War III was reportedly averted as an Iranian strike situation played out as expected by C&C, surprising media outlets.
   
   

   • The New York Times ran a "shocked" story headlined, "Trump’s Cease-Fire Announcement Catches His Own Top Officials by Surprise".

   • C&C had "slightly expanded our historical lens and wondered whether we might be watching another Trump deal aimed at resolving an ‘impossible’ political peace problem by trading stage punches".

2. The U.S. military executed a stealth bombing run on three nuclear sites in Iran on Saturday.
   
   

   • This mission involved making a "stealth bombing run from an American airbase to drop precision bunker-busting bombs on three nuclear sites in Iran".

   • The U.S. military "flawlessly executed a perfect, around-the-world-in-one-night mission".

3. Iran launched missiles at evacuated Gulf-area military bases, but these strikes had little effect and resulted in zero casualties.
   
   

   • Iran "launched missiles at several evacuated Gulf-area military bases".

   • There were "zero casualties and the new strikes had little or no effect".

4. President Trump brokered a cease-fire between the U.S. and Iran, defying expectations of a warmonger.
   
   

   • Trump "dropped a cease-fire (soon broken, but still) that he’d already brokered between the two furious enemies".

   • He "once again brokered peace, for about the tenth time in five months since taking office".

5. Media outlets shifted from marveling at the peace to complaining about the cease-fire terms and being excluded from the loop.
   
   

   • The media "pivoted immediately from the miracle" of Trump avoiding World War III to "carping about the terms of the instant cease-fire".

   • Corporate media "complained about being left out of the loop".

6. The initial U.S. strikes on Iran were seen as creating an "off-ramp" for peace, making a politically impossible situation feasible.
   
   

   • The strikes "created the off-ramp, paving a way to something that seemed politically impossible".

   • This contrasts with confusion among some conservatives who wondered why bombing was necessary if peace was possible.

7. Cease-fires typically require multiple attempts to become permanent.
   
   

   • It is "completely typical for hard-won ceasefires to take a few tries before they grip".

   • President Trump's reaction to mutual accusations of broken agreements was described as that of a "frustrated parent".

8. The Supreme Court delivered another major win for the Trump Administration by lifting a nationwide stay on expedited deportations of criminally convicted illegal aliens.
   
   

   • SCOTUS "lifted a nationwide stay on summarily deporting criminally convicted illegal aliens to unpleasant foreign destinations that the government chooses".

   • This is described as the "latest victory for the Trump Administration".

   • Judge Murphy "had enjoined the removals because, he said, each illegal must be given notice and a chance to get free NGO lawyers and tie their cases up for years in legal red tape".

   • He "threw a tantrum and promptly entered another order, again blocking the eight men from removal to Sudan".

10. Judge Murphy cited Justice Sotomayor's dissent, which is described as a "judicial non-starter."
    
    

    • In his terse order, Judge Murphy "also cited Sotomayor’s dissent".

    • White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller accused Judge Murphy of "rank insubordination".

11. The Administration plans to defy Judge Murphy's order and proceed with nationwide deportations based on the SCOTUS ruling.
    
    

    • The best guess is that "the Administration will likewise defy Murphy, and resume nationwide deportations per SCOTUS".

    • This case is a key part of the Administration’s mass deportation strategy, which involves a "deal".

12. The Administration's deportation "deal" offers a choice: self-deport to a chosen destination or face forced deportation to an undesirable location in leg irons.
    
    

    • "The deal is: self-deport and we’ll fly you anywhere you want".

    • "But if you stay, and we catch you, you’ll go someplace you won’t like very much. In leg irons".

13. Investigative journalist Michael Shellenberger's story revealed that USAID and the CIA were behind Trump's impeachment in 2019.
    
    

    • Shellenberger "dropped a blockbuster story on Public, under the headline, 'Both USAID And The CIA Were Behind The Impeachment Of Trump in 2019'".

    • This suggests "Regime change at home".

14. Trump's first impeachment relied on a "whistleblower" complaint from an embedded Obama-era CIA analyst in the White House.
    
    

    • "Impeachment 2.0 rested on a single ‘whistleblower’ complaint delivered to Congressional Democrats".

    • The 'whistleblower' was a "leftover Obama-era CIA analyst still embedded in the White House".

15. The whistleblower's report was founded on reporting by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), identified as a "soft power" arm of USAID.
    
    

    • The report was "completely founded on reporting by an 'independent investigative journalism' outfit" called OCCRP.

    • OCCRP was a "soft power (regime change) arm of USAID, receiving most of its funding from the U.S. State Department".

16. A 2024 German documentary confirmed OCCRP's role as a USAID tool, with USAID approving its work plan and key hires.
    
    

    • A USAID official in the documentary confirmed that USAID "approves OCCRP’s annual work plan" and "approves new hires of key personnel".

    • This documentary was later "memory-holed under pressure from the State Department".

17. Drew Sullivan, co-founder of OCCRP, boasted that the organization was responsible for regime changes and indictments of prime ministers in several countries.
    
    

    • Sullivan "bragged that the 'independent' organization had 'probably been responsible for five or six countries changing over from one government to another government… and getting prime ministers indicted or thrown out'".

    • This activity is explicitly defined as "regime change".

18. The direct connection between CIA/USAID and Trump's impeachment through OCCRP raises concerns about "treason."
    
    

    • "We can now see a straight line drawn between CIA/USAID and Trump’s impeachment, running right through OCCRP".

    • Many people would agree that "turning America’s regime change operation inwards at a sitting U.S. president constitutes treason".

19. RFK Jr. (MAHA) is focusing on getting justice and relief for the people of East Palestine, Ohio.
    
    

    • Kennedy stated, "This is our first effort to fix that and get justice and get relief for the people of that region".

    • He told Chris Cuomo that they would "document them at NIH using gold-standard science".

20. The NIH's new studies on the East Palestine train crash impact will provide residents with crucial evidence for their claims.
    
    

    • The NIH "announced the terrific news that it would start a series of studies on the impact of 2023’s ecologically catastrophic train crash in East Palestine, Ohio".

    • RFK Jr. confirmed that "doing these observational and longitudinal studies will document their health impact".

21. Documentation of health impacts from the NIH studies will enable residents to pursue remedies like making companies pay for treatment and medical monitoring programs.
    
    

    • "Once you get that documentation, a number of other remedies become available".

    • These remedies "include making the companies pay for their treatment and doing medical monitoring programs that force the company from now on to take responsibility for those health impacts".

22. RFK Jr. learned during the presidential transition that ending "pre-authorization" was the single most important thing to improve patient experience.
    
    

    • Kennedy explained that he learned to "end the scourge of pre-authorization".

    • "Pre-authorization" is described as a "maddening insurance ritual" where patients or doctors must seek permission to use their policy.

23. Kennedy and Dr. Oz secured pledges from major health insurers to simplify prior authorization requirements.
    
    

    • They met with "the nation’s biggest health insurers, who all pledged to 'take additional measures to simplify their requirements for prior approval on medicines and medical services'".

    • The pledges included six key reforms aimed at "cutting red tape, accelerating care decisions, and enhancing transparency for patients and providers".

24. Insurers agreed to develop a standardized electronic process for prior authorization and drastically reduce the number of claims needing it.
    
    

    • The six top insurance providers agreed to develop a "standardized electronic process".

    • They also agreed to "drastically cut the number of types of claims needing pre-authorization in the first place, perhaps by up to two-thirds".

25. Dr. Oz warned that if insurers fail to deliver on their voluntary pledges, HHS will intervene.
    
    

    • Dr. Oz concluded by stating that "these voluntary pledges were just the beginning".

    • He warned, "If the insurance industry cannot address the needs of preauthorization by themselves, there are government opportunities to get involved".

26. Kraft Heinz and General Mills announced they will remove all artificial dyes from their food products by 2027.
    
    

    • USA Today reported that "Kraft Heinz, General Mills to remove all artificial dyes from food products".

    • By 2027, "Red 40, Yellow 5, and their whole chemical crew— will be banished from Kraft Heinz’s entire portfolio".

27. Other major food companies like PepsiCo, Tyson, and Mars have also joined the movement to remove artificial dyes.
    
    

    • "General Mills is on the same timeline, draining the technicolor from Trix, Gushers, and any other hue-hyped offerings".

    • "PepsiCo, Tyson, and Mars have also joined the chromatic retreat".

28. A TikToker, Lilly Tino (born Nicholas Contino), sparked controversy and a state investigation by posting viral selfies from women's restrooms at Walt Disney World.
    
    

    • The controversy stemmed from "viral TikTok selfies posted by self-designated 'trans activist' Lilly Tino, 31, born Nicholas Contino, as he 'rated' women's bathrooms".

    • Tino "invaded the women’s restrooms anyway" despite Disney having gender-neutral options.

29. Florida's Attorney General announced a state investigation into Lilly Tino's actions, potentially under the Video Voyeurism statute.
    
    

    • Attorney General James Uthmeier announced "a state investigation into 'Lilly' Tino's photo tour of women’s restrooms at Walt Disney World".

    • Video Voyeurism (Fla. Stat. § 810.145), which criminalizes secretly observing or recording people in private situations like restrooms, "springs to mind".

30. Tino's actions, particularly filming unconsenting women and girls in a bathroom, could lead to a third-degree felony charge.
    
    

    • Even if Tino were filming himself, "the presence of unconsenting women and girls clearly visible in the background —particularly in a location as sensitive as a bathroom— triggers this statute".

    • A third-degree felony "carries up to 5 years in prison and up to a $5,000 fine".

I. A Day That Will Live in Infamy By Douglas Macgregor

1. US Initiated War with Iran
   
   

   • On the 21st of June, a day that will live in infamy, President Trump led the American People to War with Iran.

   • Trump's message to Americans was that striking Iran's three nuclear facilities is all that U.S. Forces will do, unless the Iranians have the temerity to strike back, in which case Trump promises to destroy Iran.

2. Iran's Response Will Be Deliberate and Decisive
   
   

   • Tehran's leaders aren't reckless or impetuous; their counter-strike will be deliberate and likely decisive.

   • Iran will strike back in ways Washington doesn't expect.

3. Iran Controls the Political and Moral High Ground
   
   

   • Tehran controls the political and moral high ground because Israel violated international law, engaged in a program of mass murder in Gaza, backed the murderous ISIS-led regime in Syria, killed Christians and other minorities, and launched an unprovoked attack on Iran.

   • These are incontrovertible facts.

4. Strait of Hormuz Closure is Imminent with Severe Financial Consequences
   
   

   • Iran's parliament just voted to close the Strait of Hormuz, which will cause markets to panic and oil prices to soar, leading to eventually devastating financial consequences for Americans.

   • Everyday, one out of every five barrels of oil flows through the Straits of Hormuz, and shipping companies will close it if the risk of losing tankers is too great, with insurance companies insisting on it.

5. Nuclear Weapons Deter Attacks
   
   

   • Russian Prime Minister Medvedev warned that many countries are now willing to transfer nuclear technology to Iran.

   • The simple rule is that countries with nuclear weapons don’t get bombed, like North Korea, while countries without them, such as Iraq, Libya, and now Iran, do.

6. Washington's Support for Israel Is Deemed "Stupid"
   
   

   • Washington's ruling political class, not just President Trump, decided to unconditionally support Israel in its war against Iran.

   • Going to war when and where Israel dictates and for reasons Israel decrees is considered "stupidity on stilts".

II. Bullseye on Israel By Mike Whitney

1. Trump and Netanyahu Manufactured the War
   
   

   • Trump and Netanyahu knowingly manufactured this war through fake negotiations engineered to give Israel the pretext for launching the war, which Trump officially joined nine days later.

   • Political analyst Michael Tracey stated that Trump wasn’t "dragged into" this war but rather manufactured it with Netanyahu.

2. US Attacks on Iran Caused Minimal Damage and May Strengthen Iran's Nuclear Program
   
   

   • Trump’s pinprick attacks on Iran inflicted "no substantial damage" to their nuclear facilities, as the enriched uranium and centrifuges had already been taken to safe locations days before.

   • This failed "bunker buster" attack will likely result in Iran withdrawing from the non-proliferation treaty and formally joining the nuclear club.

3. Trump Is Perceived as Controlled by Zionist Interests
   
   

   • It’s clear to many people that Donald Trump is controlled by powerful Zionist billionaires and the influential Jewish lobby that has spread its tentacles across the political landscape and now dictates US foreign policy.

   • The attack on Iran is designed to advance the Israeli agenda by eliminating Israel’s main rival in the region, and America gains nothing from a war with Iran.

4. Iran's Retaliatory Strikes Are Effective and Technologically Advanced
   
   

   • Iran unleashed its 20th wave of retaliatory missile strikes, Operation True Promise 3, which destroyed a biological research center, alternative command and control centers, and large parts of Ben Gurion Airport.

   • Experts conclude that Iran is a hypersonic missile superpower with an offensive capability that exceeds any similar projectiles in either Washington’s or Tel Aviv’s arsenal, proving Israel’s air-defense systems are simply no match.

5. Global Opposition to US and Israeli Actions
   
   

   • The vast majority of countries around the world oppose the actions of Israel and the United States.

   • The surprise attack on Iran during nuclear negotiations merely underscores the need for a more forceful approach to Washington and Tel Aviv’s relentless interventions.

6. Iran's Parliament Voted to Close the Strait of Hormuz
   
   

   • In a decisive response to the US aggression against Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities, the Iranian parliament has voted to close the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.

   • This action is expected to send equities markets into freefall while the global economy grinds to a standstill.

7. Trump's Election Was Influenced by the Deep State to Support Israel's Agenda
   
   

   • The deep state, which unconditionally supports the state of Israel, needed a charismatic, populist firebrand like Donald Trump to boost recruitment and spearhead the rush to war.

   • Trump’s utility to Israel may have been a critical factor in the deep state’s approach to the 2024 presidential elections.

III. Marching into Oblivion (Part One) By Rhoda Wilson

1. Governments Use Psychological Operations and Censorship to Control Populations
   
   

   • Governments and their agents are constantly using psyops (psychological operations) to control and mould their populations.

   • The truth is heavily censored, and self-described fact-checkers are paid by government agencies and corporations with vested interests to suppress the truth and demonise truth-tellers.

2. Current Global Problems Are Deliberate and Part of a Plan
   
   

   • Everything bad is happening on purpose; everything is deliberate.

   • The aim is to destroy our comfort and to destroy our physical, mental, and spiritual health, with the conspirators wanting to kill and control.

3. Constant Talk of World War III and Manipulation of Public
   
   

   • There is constant talk of World War III, and politicians seem desperate to create more wars.

   • The conspirators manipulate us mercilessly and expect the public, whom they see as slaves, to be obedient, passive, timid, and compliant, accepting and unquestioning.

4. Police Focus on Social Media Opinions Over Crime
   
   

   • Bizarre powers have been given to the police despite the fact that they don’t seem to do much policing these days, preferring to arrest citizens who have expressed allegedly inappropriate opinions on social media rather than to bother racing around chasing criminals.

   • In London, the Metropolitan Police reportedly failed to save a single crime in 160 residential areas of London over the last three years.

5. Government Policies Promoting Electric Cars Are Questioned
   
   

   • Governments everywhere are forcing drivers to buy electric cars even though the concept was abandoned in the 19th century because electric cars were discovered to be dangerous and useless.

   • No one in government seems perturbed by the fact that they are promoting a form of transport which relies on electricity – the one form of energy which is more expensive to create, and more in short supply, than any other.

6. Western Voting Systems Are Corrupt
   
   

   • Voting systems everywhere in the West are so corrupt that they would embarrass a small African dictatorship.

   • When results aren’t considered acceptable, the voting must be repeated.

7. Digital Identification Is Being Introduced
   
   

   • In 2025, America introduced new laws requiring citizens to carry and produce identification if they want to fly within the USA or access some federal facilities, with the full-blooded requirement to carry digital identification at all times only months away.

   • In the UK, the Government has announced the introduction of digital driver’s licenses, which will fit onto a smartphone and can be hacked, stolen, or deleted if one annoys the powers that should not be.

IV. The Bilderbergers meet in secret for the 71st time: On the agenda was war, depopulation and migration By Rhoda Wilson

1. Bilderberg Meeting Discusses War, Depopulation, and Migration
   
   

   • The 2025 Bilderberg meeting discussed topics such as AI, defence innovation and geopolitics, as well as depopulation and migration.

   • The Bilderberg Meeting is an annual off-the-record forum established in 1954 to foster dialogue between Europe and North America.

2. Israel's Surprise Attack on Iran Coincided with the Bilderberg Meeting
   
   

   • On June 13, Israel carried out a series of airstrikes in Iran targeting the country’s nuclear sites, a "surprise attack" that occurred during the Bilderberg meeting.

   • Jacob Nordangård writes that "The trigger went off on Friday 13th with Israel’s ‘surprise attack’ on Iran to the delight of plotters from the inner circle".

3. Meeting Hosted by Wallenberg Family, Involved Defense and Tech Companies
   
   

   • The event was hosted by the Swedish Wallenberg family and included representatives from the aerospace and defence company SAAB and the telecommunications company Ericsson.

   • The profits of their family business are soaring with the help of these companies, which are developing "new technology to meet customers’ changing needs" and "transforming the future of defence digitalisation".

4. Shift Towards AI-Powered Warfare and Big Tech Influence
   
   

   • The conference led to a significant increase in Sweden’s defence budget and a shift towards AI-powered warfare.

   • The "inner sanctum" of the Bilderbergers has come to be largely dominated by Big Tech moguls such as Palantir’s CEO Alex Karp, Microsoft’s CEO Satya Nadella, and the former CEO of Google, Eric Schmidt, reflecting a shift of power to the "Techno Kings".

5. NATO Involvement and Escalating War Agenda
   
   

   • Among the invited guests were NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and two US Army commanders: Admiral Samuel Paparo and General Christopher Donahue.

   • An escalating war in the Middle East is now on top of the agenda for NATO, a war to be fought with drones, robots, and the latest AI-powered machinery.

6. "Depopulation" as a Topic Fuels Speculation
   
   

   • The discussion of "depopulation" on the Bilderberg agenda means WAR, leading to speculation about whether it concerns an ethnic cleansing of Gaza and maybe the West Bank, or indicates a major devastating event in the near future.

7. G7 Leaders Affirmed Israel's Right to Defend Itself and Oppose Iran's Nuclear Weapons
   
   

   • Only two days after the Bilderberg meeting, the G7 leaders gathered in Canada and affirmed Israel’s right to "defend itself," and that Iran "can never have a nuclear weapon".

V. Therapeutic DMSO Combinations Revolutionize Medicine By A Midwestern Doctor

1. DMSO Is a Versatile, Forgotten Natural Therapy
   
   

   • Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a forgotten natural therapy which rapidly treats a wide range of conditions and that many studies have shown is very safe, provided it’s used correctly.

   • It has immense potential to offer the medical community and individual patients.

2. DMSO Effectively Treats Numerous Conditions
   
   

   • DMSO effectively treats strokes, paralysis, a wide range of neurological disorders, many circulatory disorders, and a wide range of tissue injuries such as sprains, concussions, and burns.

   • It also effectively treats chronic pain, autoimmune, protein, and contractile disorders, head conditions, internal organ diseases, skin conditions, many challenging infectious conditions, and many aspects of cancer.

3. DMSO Enhances the Effects of Other Substances as a "Vehicle"
   
   

   • One of DMSO’s most noteworthy abilities is its ability to enhance the effects of other substances, which in many cases makes it possible to surmount major dilemmas traditionally seen with those therapies.

   • DMSO is a unique solvent that will pass through biological membranes without damaging them, and if a substance is dissolved within DMSO, DMSO can typically bring it into the body.

4. Caution Advised When Mixing DMSO with Toxic Substances or Pharmaceuticals
   
   

   • One of the major risks of DMSO is applying it to the skin if a toxic substance is already present, as DMSO can rapidly transport the poison into the body.

   • While severe drug reactions from concurrently taking DMSO and another drug are actually quite rare, caution should be taken when taking potent pharmaceuticals at the same time as DMSO, as many agents will become significantly more potent.

5. DMSO Can Reduce Drug Doses and Mitigate Toxicity
   
   

   • In many cases, DMSO reduces the amount of a drug needed to get the desired effect, which is quite helpful if the drug is toxic at the prescribed dose but nonetheless continued out of necessity.

   • DMSO can also mitigate many toxicities of pharmaceuticals, such as gentamicin’s kidney toxicity.

6. DMSO's Carrying Size for Molecules
   
   

   • While DMSO is extremely effective at transporting things inside the body, as things get larger, DMSO can no longer transport them, and even the smallest viruses are far larger than DMSO’s maximum carrying size.

   • The exact skin carrying limit of DMSO has not been definitively studied, but most sources agree it transports substances less than 500 Daltons (Da), though there is some evidence suggesting it can bring molecules larger than 70,000 Da through the blood-brain barrier.

VI. Trump Takes America to War By Philip Giraldi

1. Trump's Attack on Iran Was Illegal and Unconstitutional
   
   

   • President Donald Trump’s attack on three Iranian nuclear sites was carried out without any declaration of war, making it a direct Executive Branch challenge to the War Powers Act of 1973.

   • This means the attack on Iran was illegal, and those who planned and executed it, presumably including President Trump, should be considered impeachable.

2. Trump Ignored Intelligence Contradicting Israel's Claims About Iran
   
   

   • Donald Trump decided to ignore and explicitly denigrate the conclusions reached by his own intelligence staff, who told him Iran was not building a nuclear weapon.

   • Instead, he came around to the belief that Netanyahu knew better what was happening in Iran and was the recipient of information originating with Israel’s external spy agency Mossad, whose motto is "By way of deception you shall engage in war".

3. The US Attack Was Driven by Israel's Agenda
   
   

   • One might argue that the US attack on Iran was all about Israel and yet one more indication of who actually runs Washington.

   • Trump groveled to thank the Israeli government for its help and cooperation in the operation.

4. Minimal Damage to Iranian Sites, Potential for Escalation and Nuclear Proliferation
   
   

   • Iranian sources are reporting that even if the protected facilities were damaged there was nothing there, as all the enriched uranium and critical equipment had been removed in anticipation of an attack.

   • Iran will surely retaliate, possibly by hitting US bases and killing Americans, which will cause the war to escalate, and if Iran did salvage its enriched uranium, the exercise could result in a new nuclear proliferator for defensive purposes.

5. Critics Accuse Trump of Being a "Jew Puppet" or Controlled by Zionists
   
   

   • Many comments in the source assert that Trump is controlled by powerful Jewish/Zionist interests, implying Israel dictates US foreign policy.

   • It is now widely considered obvious that AIPAC bribes and Mossad blackmail control the US Congress, explaining its inexplicable support for Israel’s genocide and terrorism.

6. Iran's Missile Technology and Air Defense Systems
   
   

   • Iran’s electronics firm Salran signed MoUs with Chinese counterparts to integrate BeiDou satellite navigation into Iranian missiles and UAVs, aiming to improve targeting accuracy and bypassing Western-controlled GPS.

   • Iran has hypersonic missiles that Israel cannot stop, and its daily precision attacks on Israeli targets attest to its impressive strides in missile technology.

7. War of Attrition and Economic Impact
   
   

   • Experts conclude that Iran is prepared to endure a war of attrition with Israel for at least six months, and its stockpile of ballistic missiles surpasses the current capability of the United States or Israel combined.

   • The war is seen as ultimately economic in nature, with Iran aiming to destroy Western economies.

8. Strait of Hormuz Closure Would Have Devastating Economic Impact
   
   

   • If Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz, driving gas prices up, the financial consequences for Americans would be eventually devastating, as one out of every five barrels of oil flows through it daily.

   • Shipping companies and insurance companies will insist on closing the Strait if the risk of losing tankers is too great, causing the world’s oil supply to slow and impacting industries that depend on petroleum products disastrously.

9. US Military Superiority Is Questioned
   
   

   • America’s military superiority is described as a myth, claiming it lacks hypersonic missiles, 25-megaton nuclear warheads, and realistic missile defense, while Russia leads in these areas.

   • The US has amassed three aircraft carriers in the Mediterranean Sea, exposing fifteen thousand sailors to direct hits from hypersonic missiles launched from Iran, which escorts cannot prevent.

10. The War Is Seen as a "Kabuki Theater" or Political Stunt
    
    

    • Several commenters describe the entire operation as "kabuki theater" or a "phony tough guy act," suggesting it's a staged event for political gain rather than a substantial military conflict.

    • Trump’s actions are seen as "pure Trumpian, self-glorifying showmanship at its height".

VII. US State Department Spokeswoman Says Israel Is Greater Than America By Caitlin Johnstone

1. US Administration Criticized for Prioritizing Israel Over America
   
   

   • State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce stated that the United States is "the greatest country on earth, next to Israel," drawing attention to an overlooked remark.

   • This statement is seen as vindicating those who accuse the administration of being "Israel First instead of America First".

2. Trump Admitted Being Influenced by Pro-Israel Donors
   
   

   • Donald Trump publicly admitted to being bought and owned by Republican megadonor Miriam Adelson, stating that she and her late husband Sheldon "would come into the White House probably almost more than anybody" and were "always for Israel".

   • Trump named the US recognition of the occupied Golan Heights as one of the gifts he showered the Zionist state with to please the Adelsons, who pumped hundreds of millions of dollars into his presidential campaigns.

3. Israel's Ongoing Conflicts Make It Difficult to Focus on Specific Atrocities
   
   

   • Israel’s airstrikes in Lebanon, invasion of Syria, atrocities in the West Bank, genocide in Gaza, and war on Iran create a continuous and overwhelming cycle of conflict.

   • This makes it hard to focus on any single issue due to the constant escalation and severity of the conflicts.

4. Skepticism Towards Official Narratives About Iran
   
   

   • The source lists "Top Ten dumbest things we’re being asked to believe about Iran," including that the Iranians want to be bombed or that the guy bombing Iran wants peace.

   • It questions the idea that regime change interventionism is a "swell idea this time" or that the government and media are telling the truth about an American war.

5. Critique of "Antisemitism" as a Weaponized Term
   
   

   • The term "antisemitism" is depicted as a tool to shut down criticism, with opposing war with Iran, viewing Palestinians as human, opposing genocide, and seeking peace all being labeled as antisemitic.

   • The author states, "It’s hilarious that anyone still takes this 'antisemitism' schtick seriously".

6. Attacking Iran Does Not Benefit Americans
   
   

   • The source explicitly lists "That attacking Iran benefits Americans" as one of the "Top Ten dumbest things we’re being asked to believe about Iran".

   • It questions why anyone would believe that the guy bombing Iran wants peace.

VIII. Don't Worry, It Isn't Happening By Miles Mathis

1. Current Events Are "Fiction" and "Gaslighting"
   
   

   • The author claims that the current ramping up of "gaslighting" this month is all "fiction".

   • Threats like Trump threatening Russia with nuclear weapons are described as "just the usual duck-and-cover BS they have been scaring us with since the 1940s".

2. War Mongering Is a Distraction from Vaccine Issues and a Military Budget Increase
   
   

   • The author suggests that all this "war mongering went into overdrive after the vaccine genocide" to get people's minds off that "debacle".

   • It is seen as a coincidence that Trump called for steep increases in the military budget and Europe is being pressured to increase "defense" spending.

3. Full-Spectrum Psychological War on the American Public
   
   

   • The psychological war on the American public has gone to Defcon1, with all media turned into a "blitz of screaming disinformation".

   • Examples include Neil Degrasse Tyson and Sabine Hossenfelder telling us we are living inside a Black Hole, and ChatGPT telling us to kill ourselves.

4. Drugs Used for Submission
   
   

   • The CIA is accused of "dumping free drugs on the streets in ever greater piles, or pushing them on you through your 'doctors,' hoping to keep you quiet that way".

   • If they can't force submission this way, they will put the drugs in food and water, or drop them from airplanes.

5. Resistance Is Refusing Propaganda and Building One's Own Reality
   
   

   • The author states that one's only hope is to refuse the drugs and gaslighting and fight back.

   • This involves rejecting their stories and products, their new world of robots and surveillance, and building one's own world of health and sanity, clinging to "pre-Modern reality" as much as possible.
