1. CDC New Covid Recommendations – Dr. Joseph Sansone 

• The author views the recent CDC COVID recommendations as minimal and inadequate.

• "This action was about as minimal as could possibly be done."

• "It was an embarrassment. It was a disgrace. It was unacceptable."

• While no longer recommending COVID shots for healthy children and pregnant women, the CDC still recommends them for others.

• "Hmmm….so this means that they are still recommending mRNA bioweapon injections to everybody 18 and older and to sick people of all ages."

• "Those of us not suffering from Stockholm Syndrome or cognitive dissonance responded with multiple expletives… This action was about as minimal as could possibly be done."

• The author frames the CDC statement as a potential "limited hangout" tactic.

• "Was the statement by Kennedy, Bhattacharya, and Makary, a variation of a limited hangout?"

• "I honestly don’t know if Secretary Kennedy’s CDC statement is a limited hangout."

• A "limited hangout" is defined as an intelligence tactic involving the revelation of partial truths while concealing crucial details.

• "A limited hangout is a tactic used in intelligence, politics, or media to manage information by revealing partial truths while withholding critical or damaging details."

• "It’s like letting out just enough of the story to satisfy curiosity or defuse scrutiny, without exposing the full extent of a scandal or operation."

• The author associates COVID mRNA injections with adverse health effects and reduced lifespan.

• "The COVID 19 mRNA nanoparticle injections are associated with neurological disorders, autoimmune disorders, heart attacks, strokes, cancer, metabolic disorders, chronic fatigue, chronic inflammation, and death, to name a few of the issues."

• "The COVID mRNA shots are associated with a 1236% increase in cardiac arrest deaths, 112,000% increase in brain strokes when compared to the flu shots, reduced birth rates, increased infant mortality, increased mortality overall, and a 37% reduction in lifespans."

• The author claims that mRNA injections violate US biological weapons law.

• "ALL mRNA injections and products must be halted immediately. They violate 18 USC 175 CH 10 BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS."

• "How do I know that the mRNA injections violate 18 USC 175 CH 10 BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS? I have an affidavit under penalty of perjury from the law professor that wrote the law!"

• The situation is characterized as a large-scale depopulation campaign.

• "We are in the midst of a massive depopulation campaign."

• "Reducing birthrates and shortening lifespans makes that apparent."

• The author calls for immediate action from President Trump to stop mRNA products.

• "President Trump must issue an Executive Order immediately stopping all mRNA injections and products."

• "It is long past time that people that voted for Trump put maximum pressure on his administration to stop the biowarfare campaign against Americans."

• The author believes attempts to normalize the shots’ negative effects will fail.

• "Was the purpose to appear to be fighting and to get loyalists to cheer this as if it were a big victory to diffuse criticism?"

• "It will fail simply because most people that you know will have a shortened lifespan because of these shots."

2. Caffeine and Cognitive Impact – Joachim Bartoll 

• The author describes caffeine as a toxic defense chemical produced by plants.

• "I’ve covered the toxic nature of caffeine, a defense chemical produced by plants."

• "While it will make you perform and possibly feel better, it is extremely demanding on your body and your organs, not to mention the toxic and damaging effect of caffeine on tissues and especially the brain."

• Caffeine induces a fight-or-flight stress response by blocking adenosine receptors and enhancing neurotransmitter release.

• "...it wreaks havoc on your body due to its ability to induce a fight-or-flight stress response as well as blocking adenosine receptors in the brain, which in turn enhances the effect of the fight-or-flight response by a larger release of neurotransmitters like adrenaline, dopamine, serotonin, acetylcholine, glutamate, and GABA — and thus inducing even more stress on the body than a regular stressful situation..."

• "As little as 35mg of caffeine, as in half a cup of coffee or a can of Pepsi/Cola, is enough to trigger a fight-or-flight stress response."

• Caffeine interferes with sleep, reducing memory consolidation and cognitive recovery.

• "Caffeine Will Interfere With Sleep And Reduce Memory Consolidation And Cognitive Recovery, Contributing To Mental Fatigue And Burnout."

• "Considering the toxic effects of caffeine and its half-life of up to 7 hours (up to 14 hours clearing time), even if you take it only earlier in the day, it will linger and affect your sleep..."

• A study shows caffeine increases brain signal complexity during sleep, especially during NREM sleep.

• "They showed for the first time that caffeine increases the complexity of brain signals and enhances brain “criticality” during sleep."

• "The results showed that caffeine increased the complexity of brain signals, reflecting more dynamic and less predictable neuronal activity, especially during the non-rapid eye movement (NREM) phase of sleep that’s crucial for memory consolidation and cognitive recovery."

• Caffeine alters sleep electrical rhythms, suppressing restorative waves.

• "The researchers also discovered striking changes in the brain’s electrical rhythms during sleep: caffeine attenuated slower oscillations such as theta and alpha waves — generally associated with deep, restorative sleep — and stimulated beta wave activity, which is more common during wakefulness and mental engagement."

• These disruptions can contribute to mental fatigue and burnout.

• "...the consumption of caffeine on a regular basis for extended periods of time could thus contribute to mental fatigue and burnout, characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment."

• Young adults (20-27) are more affected by caffeine's sleep impact than middle-aged adults.

• "The study also showed that the effects of caffeine on brain dynamics were significantly more pronounced in young adults between ages 20 and 27 compared to middle-aged participants aged 41 to 58, especially during REM sleep."

• The author suggests poor diet, not stimulants, as the primary cause of fatigue.

• "Of course, a lot of people turn to these caffeinated products because their diet is complete sh*t and their blood sugar levels are all over the place, making them tired and lethargic, something that is extremely unnatural and only seen among humans who have been deceived to consume foods that are not species-appropriate — humans that do not eat according to their physiology."

• "If you actually would follow our species-appropriate and natural human diet that we are constructed for, then we would...have no use for any of these stimulants, supplements or drugs, because we would feel 100% all the time and have endless amounts of energy."

3. The Moral Majority and Evangelical Support for Israel – Chuck Baldwin 

• The author reflects on his 50 years in ministry and the anniversary of his ordination.

• "On this day, my wife and I—along with our local Liberty Fellowship family—commemorated the 50th anniversary of my ordination into the ministry."

• His involvement with the Moral Majority led to a "political marriage" between evangelical Christians and the Republican Party.

• "However, the ultimate (and persisting) result of those years was not so good."

• "I’m talking about the political marriage between evangelical Christians and the Republican Party."

• Evangelicals now prioritize loyalty to Republican politicians over other principles.

• "Throughout America, evangelical pastors and Christians will turn their backs on spiritual friendships, courageous, truth-telling pastors (pastor-friends), spiritually minded family members or anyone else in deference to a Republican politician—especially a Republican president."

• "And it doesn’t matter one whit how immoral, unethical or unconstitutional the conduct or public policies which that president promotes might be."

• A "theological marriage" between evangelicals and the Zionist State of Israel has developed since the Moral Majority era.

• "The other thing that happened was a theological marriage between evangelical Christians and the Zionist State of Israel."

• "But the organized efforts of the Moral Majority, Christian Coalition, Religious Right, etc., produced an overt, unbreakable bond between evangelicals and the Zionist State of Israel."

• Christian Zionism is now a deeply ingrained doctrine within evangelical churches.

• "Today, of course, Christian Zionism is a deeply entrenched major doctrine within most evangelical churches."

• "Most evangelicals would as soon deny the deity of Jesus Christ as to deny that Zionist Israel is a resurrected Old Testament Israel, essential to the Second Coming."

• US wars in the Middle East are, according to the author, in reality, Israel’s wars.

• "In 2003, evangelicals were completely clueless that Bush’s wars in the Middle East were in reality Israel’s wars."

• "And when Trump takes us to war with Iran, it will again be Israel’s war."

• Criticism of Israel and Gaza is suppressed by labeling it as antisemitism.

• "And how ironic that the Republican Donald Trump is using the Republican G.W. Bush’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to declare war on the First Amendment freedom of speech to anyone who simply criticizes Israel and its genocide in Gaza either audibly or in print."

• "When he and Attorney General Pam Bondi talk about stamping out antisemitism, they are talking about eviscerating the most fundamental right of a free society: the freedom of speech."

• Censorship of speech on one subject risks censorship on all subjects.

• "And what they don’t seem to realize is that once you start censoring speech about one subject, the door is open to censor speech about any subject."

• Evangelicals have shifted from advocating for "goodness" and constitutional governance to supporting Israel’s actions and liberties.

• "Those same evangelicals who worked so feverishly during the 80s and 90s to bring basic human goodness to America now support the destruction of innocent men women and children—including Christian men, women and children—in Gaza and the Middle East."

• "Those same evangelicals who so strongly supported constitutional government during the days of the Moral Majority are now totally silent or actually endorse government abridgment of our constitutionally protected liberties (particularly the freedom of speech)..."

4. James Burnham’s "The Managerial Revolution" – Mark Gullick 

• The article explores James Burnham’s 1941 book on societal transformation.

• "A key text to understanding this relatively new style of governance is James Burnham’s 1941 book, The Managerial Revolution."

• Burnham predicted the rise of a new ruling class called "managers."

• "The conclusion of this period of transformation...will find society organized through a quite different set of major economic, social, and political institutions..."

• "Within the new social structure, a different social group or class — the managers — will be the dominant or ruling class."

• Managers derive power from controlling property rights and production processes, not owning property outright.

• "The new class does not exercise its power through property rights, but rather via control of those rights, which is at the heart of managerialism."

• "Throughout industry, de facto control by the managers over the actual processes of production is rapidly growing in terms both of the aspects of production to which it extends and the times in which it is exercised."

• Managers are present in both private enterprise and government.

• "We may often recognize them as ‘production managers,’ operating executives, superintendents...or, in government...as administrators, commissioners, bureau heads, and so on."

• The capitalist "limited state" is being replaced by an "unlimited" managerial state.

• "The ‘limited state’ of capitalism is replaced by the ‘unlimited’ managerial state."

• Burnham links the managerial class to totalitarianism.

• "While the new managerial class can function in a state which is not totalitarian, totalitarianism cannot exist without the managers."

• "Those nations — Russia, Germany, and Italy — which have advanced furthest toward the managerial social structure are all of them, at present, totalitarian dictatorships."

• The US is moving toward a managerial society, with control shifting from capitalists to managers.

• "Although Burnham did not find it to be a managed concern yet, it was well on the way to becoming one."

• "Correlatively, more and more of the control over production, both within the arena of private enterprise and in the state, goes into the hands of the managers."

• Managers exhibit a high sense of assurance.

• "But no one who comes into contact with managers will fail to have noticed a very considerable assurance in their whole bearing."

• "They know they are indispensable in modern society."

• Expansion of university education contributes to managerialism by creating a large class seeking managerial jobs.

• "The origin of managerialism is the extension of university education to the masses."

• Useless managerial jobs are created to employ those seeking employment.

• "By taxing the productive part of society, masses of useless managerial jobs have been created to hire this kind of people, who are the voters of left-wing parties."

• Sociopaths are attracted to managerial roles for power and control.

• "James Burnham demonstrated that he was a fool by failing to recognize that sociopaths, who sensu lato comprise at least 5% of the human population, are strongly attracted to power."

• "Thus, sociopaths gravitate to management at whichever level their mental capacity and political skill allows them to attain."

5. Dr. Paul Craig Roberts on Trump’s Foreign Policy – Author’s Summary 

• Judicial obstacles have shifted Trump's focus toward foreign policy.

• "Trump has discovered that Democrat 'judges' and some RINO ones can block and distract him from removing illegal aliens..."

• "On the domestic front, the frustrations and delays of an over-reaching judicial system have shifted Trump’s focus abroad as an alternative way of Making America Great Again."

• Trump’s declaration of US possession of Gaza aligns with a strategic shift.

• "In a recent press conference with Genocide King Netanyahu, President Trump declared America’s possession of Gaza."

• Netanyahu reportedly seemed to accept this position.

• "Questioned by media, Netanyahu seemed to agree, at least for the sake of avoiding conflict with Israel’s American sponsor."

• Trump outlines a "new Middle East" as Washington’s colonial empire to control oil.

• "Trump has begun to describe a new Middle East."

• "The New Middle East is to be Washington’s colonial empire, in which Washington achieves control over oil flows in a new way."

• The model involves profit-sharing with Saudi Arabia and Iran.

• "Unlike the old colonialism in which the British and French exploited the region, sending the profits home, Trump is offering Saudi Arabia...a junior partnership."

• "The junior partnership is also being offered to the Iranians."

• Gaza is seen as an economic hub that might end Israeli/Arab wars.

• "Gaza, Trump suggests, will be the highly developed anchor for making all of the Middle East rich."

• "And it puts an end to Israeli/Arab wars."

• The future global order may involve a division among Washington, Russia, and China, replacing American hegemony.

• "In place of the American neoconservative unipolar world of American hegemony, there will be the division of the world between the three powers–Washington, Russia, and China."

• Putin seeks a broad agreement to end conflicts beyond Ukraine.

• "President Putin is not interested in merely a negotiated end of the conflict in Ukraine."

• "Putin wants a Great Power Agreement that ends the West’s conflict with Russia."

6. Rhoda Wilson on Medical Establishment Suppression – Dr. Vernon Coleman 

• Original thinking in medicine is actively suppressed.

• "The medical establishment suppresses original thinking and initiative, with dissent being officially stifled."

• "There’s no room for initiative and originality in modern medicine."

• Industry ties worsen suppression, protecting harmful treatments.

• "The medical establishment’s suppression of original thought has been exacerbated by its ties to the pharmaceutical industry, leading to the protection of ineffective and dangerous therapies and the silencing of critics who question established practices."

• "Our problem is that the medical establishment was bought by the drug industry decades ago."

• Medical professionals are trained as "zombies" following protocols.

• "The system is designed to produce “unquestioning prescription signing zombies” who follow party lines and worship the pharmaceutical industry."

• "So, medical schools churn out platoons of unquestioning prescription-signing zombies."

• Historically, medical advances came from outside voices, now silenced.

• "Over the centuries, just about every major advance in medicine has come as a result of the work of eccentric, passionate, determined unclubbables who have fought the establishment."

• "Today, more than ever, the free thinkers outside the system are silenced."

• Dangerous or ineffective therapies are protected.

• "Existing therapies which are dangerous, ineffective and even lethal, are protected."

• "Worthless, barbaric, dangerous treatments are often followed with great enthusiasm for decades after they have been shown to be utterly wrong-headed."

• Doctors lack independence due to fear of losing jobs.

• "Doctors do not have the courage to question the establishment or to have original ideas because they are employed, and, like all other employees, they are frightened of losing their jobs."

• "They do not dare stick up for their patients because they live in fear of bureaucratic censure."

• Debate on vaccination is suppressed by demonization.

• "For example, the supporters of vaccination deal with opposition not by debate but by denouncing anyone who disagrees."

• Critics are called "flat-earthers," "holocaust deniers," or accused of being paid.

• New licensing schemes threaten doctors’ independence.

• "Now, new regulatory licensing schemes for doctors in the UK mean that practising doctors will in future have to be revalidated by a senior doctor who will make recommendations about their fitness to practice."

• "It seems to me likely that this will mean that any doctor who does not stick to the rules will be refused a licence and prevented from practising."

7. 2nd Smartest Guy in the World on PSYOP-25 and Scamdemic – Author’s Summary 

• A follow-up "scamdemic" called PSYOP-25 is imminent, expected around July 4, 2025.

• "A followup scamdemic has been in the works since well before the release of the last one, and it appears that next gain of function (GOF) COVID operation is about to be foisted on the world in the coming weeks."

• July 4th is chosen for its symbolic significance.

• "Picking July 4th as the release date perfectly accords with their sick and deranged Great Reset agenda."

• Dr. David Martin predicts many deaths in the US on that day.

• "And now Dr. David Martin has just predicted that 280,000 Americans will be murdered during these upcoming July 4th celebrations by the very same people who lied about weapons of mass destruction, the anthrax scare, and of course the PSYOP-19 scamdemic with associated depopulation “vaccines.”"

• The event is linked to genetically modified populations and vaccine-induced vulnerabilities.

• "Since a majority of Americans are now both genetically modified and afflicted with VAIDS thanks to subjecting themselves to the Modified mRNA slow kill bioweapon “vaccines,” they have been primed to be especially vulnerable to any future GOF viral releases."

• The "National Blueprint for BioDefense" document predicts a similar attack.

• "The document Dr. Martin was citing from last year is entitled, THE NATIONAL BLUEPRINT FOR BIODEFENSE, which just like EVENT 201 predicts yet another “pandemic.”

• The US government and agencies are accused of being the true perpetrators.

• "Except that the actual terrorists are the US Government and their various illegitimate and criminal Federal agencies."

• The planned response involves high-level government officials.

• "Over the next three weeks, the joint inquiry we'll hear from the Secretary of State..."

• "Next, the Secretary of Defense, because clearly we need the Defense Department to cover the fact that they did it again."

• The author advocates avoiding vaccines and recommends nutraceuticals and ivermectin as prophylaxis.

• "The single best approach to this incoming scamdemic is to avoid any and all vaccines, avoid those that recently received vaccines and are potentially shedding..."

• "...and take a prophylaxis approach with a potent nutraceutical that will raise cellular pH...and have plenty of Ivermectin on hand which we know with absolute certainty will stop any GOF virus dead in its tracks."

8. Thomas DiLorenzo on the American and Israeli Wars – Author’s Summary 

• Ludwig von Mises’s analysis of 19th-century imperialist propaganda is cited.

• "In his book Nation, State and Economy... Ludwig von Mises wrote of how nineteenth-century imperialist powers often preceded their wars of “conquest, subjugation, and extermination” with the dehumanization of their victims through massive propaganda campaigns."

• US historical examples include wars against Plains Indians and the Philippine Insurrection.

• "The U.S. government’s twenty-five year war of genocide (1865-1890) against the Plains Indians should be added to this list."

• "When the Filipinos finally separated from the Spanish empire, the U.S. government engulfed them into the American empire by killing at least 200,000 of them...during the 1899 Philippine Insurrection."

• US leaders used dehumanizing language to justify violence.

• "'All the Indians will have to be killed or be maintained as a species of paupers,' said Lincoln’s favorite general."

• "In his biography of Teddy Roosevelt...Jim Powell wrote of how Roosevelt “justified” the mass murder of Filipinos by calling them “Chinese half breeds, savages, barbarians, a wild and ignorant people.”

• Modern US and Israeli militaries employ similar dehumanization tactics against Palestinians.

• "This brief historical sketch brings us to how the American and Israeli militaries of today have adopted this nineteenth-century demonization and war of extermination against what they consider to be another “lesser race,” the Palestinians."

• Dehumanization is used to justify mass killings in Gaza.

• "The dehumanization of Palestinians by “government ministers, lawmakers, military experts, and public figures”...has been used “to justify the mass killing of Palestinians civilians, especially women and children, the destruction of entire cities...incitement to forced emigration, and the blockade of food and humanitarian aid to the point of famine."

• Israeli officials’ dehumanizing rhetoric is documented.

• "All of this was supported by Yoav Gallant, the former Israeli defense minister, who called all Palestinians “human animals.”

• "Nissim Vaturi, the charming president of the Knesset, has called for a genocidal war that would “wipe Gaza off the face of the Earth.”"

• The current Gaza situation is described as a "twenty-first-century Holocaust" rooted in 19th-century imperialist and "lower race" theories.

• "In short, the twenty-first-century Holocaust that is occurring in Gaza has its roots in the ways of war of mid-to-late nineteenth-century American imperialism."

• It is justified by a eugenicist "lower race" ideology.

• "It is being “justified” by a modern-day version of Teddy Roosevelt-style eugenicist “lower race” theory, with the implication that the promulgators of this theory must then think of themselves as some kind of master race."

9. Kennedy Hall on the "Celebrity Priest" Phenomenon 

• The trend of "Celebrity Priests" is analyzed, defined as priests marketed as influencers based on appearance.

• "In this article, I write about the trend of Celebrity Priests."

• These priests adopt secular social media styles and react to pop culture.

• "More and more, I am seeing on my feeds videos of priests “reacting,” “responding,” or “reviewing” a host of things from the secular culture..."

• Media teams are involved in promoting their content.

• "...it is clear that various media teams are behind the priests to help them promote their content."

• Marketing focuses on making priests look attractive to garner clicks.

• "What is most disturbing, however, is that, in many cases, there is a clear intention by the producers to market the priest in a way that makes him look more handsome or attractive."

• The marketing of attractiveness is considered sinful.

• "And, they are well aware that an attractive image of an attractive man will bring in clicks from women sucked in by the attraction."

• Posting workout images or flexing is seen as inappropriate and vainglorious.

• "In addition, it is not uncommon to see the most well-known of these priests in workout settings or even posting images of themselves flexing in gyms."

• The author finds such displays prideful and inappropriate for priests.

10. Rhoda Wilson on Emerging Technologies and Digital Control 

• The list of emerging technologies illustrates their pervasive control potential.

• "This list of emerging technologies shows how pervasive digital tools that can be used for control are becoming."

• "Some of the articles are behind a paywall, but even reading the headlines makes one shudder at how fast the digital control agenda is moving forward and how pervasive it is becoming..."

• AI models can be sycophantic, reinforcing false beliefs and spreading misinformation.

• "Back in April, DeepAI announced it was rolling back an update to its GPT-4o model that made ChatGPT’s responses to user queries too sycophantic."

• "It could reinforce users’ incorrect beliefs, mislead people and spread misinformation that can be dangerous..."

• Military applications include advanced weapons systems with VR headsets.

• "Anduril is partnering with Meta to build an advanced weapons system."

• "EagleEye’s VR headsets will enhance soldiers’ hearing and vision."

• AI-generated non-consensual explicit content is a growing problem.

• "Students are using AI to generate nude images of each other."

• "It’s a grave and growing problem that no one has a solution for."

• Even major AI services like Google make mistakes.

• "Google AI Overviews doesn’t know what year it is."

• "Google’s new AI-powered search isn’t fit to handle basic queries."

• AI and algorithms impact sectors like housing, with practices like algorithm-driven house flipping.

• "House-flipping algorithms are coming to your neighbourhood."

• "When Michael Maxson found his dream home in Nevada, it was not owned by a person but by a tech company, Zillow."

11. Patrick Lawrence on the Potential for Global Conflict – Author’s Summary 

• Germany’s new chancellor, Friedrich Merz, raises concerns over a potential third world war.

• "ERLIN—Friedrich Merz has been in office as Germany’s new chancellor a matter of weeks, and already he has the German capital aflutter with worry about the increasing danger of a third world war."

• Merz plans to supply ballistic missiles to Ukraine without restrictions.

• "Merz has stopped just short of stating that he intends to authorize supplies of German-made ballistic missiles to Ukraine and to do so without imposing restrictions on the Kiev regime’s use of them to attack Russian territory."

• Such missiles could reach Moscow, raising tensions.

• "Planning to deploy the Taurus is a daringly provocative escalation of Germany’s involvement in the West’s proxy war against the Russians."

• Deployment would require German personnel and targeting data, increasing direct involvement.

• "Germans would also supply targeting data from a location, not yet known, in Germany."

• Public opposition remains high, and previous refusals to send such missiles are noted.

• "This is why Merz’s predecessor, Olaf Scholz, refused to send the Taurus missiles."

• The West is believed to have lost the proxy war in Ukraine but continues to prolong it.

• "The author believes the West has lost the proxy war the U.S. and its European clients provoked in February 2022 — this is now patently so..."

• Russian historical perspective emphasizes the danger of German military ambitions.

• "Many were immediately reminded of the last century, when Germany twice became the leading military power, and how much trouble that caused."

12. Madge Waggy on Signs of Impending Apocalypse 

• The article discusses eight warning signs of potential global catastrophe.

• "In this article, we will explore eight warning signs that could indicate an impending apocalypse."

• Recognizing these signs can help with preparedness.

• "While predicting an apocalypse is fraught with uncertainty, recognizing these warning signs can help us prepare mitigate possible outcomes should worst-case scenarios unfold."

• Environmental degradation threatens resources and stability.

• "One of the most pressing indicators of an impending apocalypse is the rapid degradation of our environment."

• "This degradation does not only impact natural systems; it also poses significant risks to food security, water supply, and human health."

• Geopolitical tensions, cyber warfare, and resource disputes could escalate into large-scale conflicts.

• "In an increasingly interconnected world, geopolitical tensions can escalate into larger conflicts with global ramifications."

• Economic instability, debt, and inequality could lead to societal collapse.

• "Economic systems are inherently complex and interconnected; when one piece falters, the repercussions can be felt globally."

• Pandemics and health crises expose systemic vulnerabilities.

• "The COVID-19 pandemic was a stark reminder of this reality—not only did it claim millions of lives but it also exposed weaknesses in global health systems."

• Increasing dependence on technology introduces cybersecurity risks.

• "Our growing reliance on technology presents both remarkable advancements and substantial vulnerabilities."

• Natural disasters linked to climate change can cause widespread destruction.

• "The frequency and intensity of natural disasters have increased substantially over recent decades—a trend often linked back again towards climate change influences."

• Resource scarcity and societal division threaten social order.

• "However unsustainable consumption practices coupled increased population pressure threaten disrupt traditional resource management methods leading potential shortages essential food, clean water, energy supplies needed sustain daily life."

• "As resource scarcity escalates – whether through natural disasters, systemic failures – societies face heightened tensions marked desperation when people fight limited supplies eventually leading breakdown order altogether."

• Recognizing interconnected warning signs is key to resilience.

• "While predicting an apocalypse is fraught with uncertainty, recognizing these warning signs can help us prepare mitigate possible outcomes should worst-case scenarios unfold."

• "Our best chance at survival lies within our willingness confront these issues holistically rather than remaining complacent believing everything remain status quo forever."

13. Pepe Escobar on East-West Relations and the New Silk Road 

• The ASEAN-China-GCC trilateral summit celebrates the "New Silk Road" spirit.

• "The first ever ASEAN-China-GCC trilateral summit earlier this week in Malaysia – with 17 Global South nations at the table – was a de facto celebration of the New Silk Road spirit."

• Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim highlights historic connectivity.

• "From the ancient Silk Road to the vibrant maritime networks of Southeast Asia to modern trade corridors, our peoples have long connected through commerce, culture, and the sharing of ideas."

• The West and East differ in political philosophy and state structures.

• "Let’s try a first, succint approach matching East and West – and what divides them – guided by an extraordinary study..."

• Asia’s approach is distinct from Western "Just War" concepts.

• "That led to a new Western concept of “Just War” and international law: when the enemy is turned into a criminal, juridical and moral equality between belligerents is shattered."

• Southeast Asian political structures are network-based "Mandala" states.

• "Here we cannot use the terminology of “state” to designate the political constructions of Southeast Asia before decolonization."

• These states are based on complex alliances, not centralized control.

• "Springing up from political concepts prevailing in India, Islam and the West, states showed up in the Insulindia (maritime Southeast Asia) archipelago, for instance, as courtly bureaucracies, based on a network of complex alliances."

• China historically had a centralized, efficient state.

• "China, on the other hand, featured a unitary state imposing – via a quite efficient administration – social order over a vast territory."

• China's modern form is an "unstructured empire" with transnational networks.

• "What happened over the past century or so in China is that the peculiar configuration – and competition – between local actors and central power led to what could be defined as an unstructured empire, whose force comes from its shape-shifting borders and the diffused character of transnational networks."

• China is disengaging from Western-dominated systems, leveraging the Belt and Road.

• "Self-assured China is finally self-assured enough to start disengaging from the current, Western-dominated system of international relations – because it has the means to do so."

• It promotes a "archipelagic" global order, with interconnected urban centers.

• "The world has surpassed the “overland” or “maritime” dilemma... The world is now best defined, as Gipouloux coined it, as archipelagic (italics mine), linking urban nebulas of different sizes and vocations."

14. Final Summary: Transition from Land/Maritime to Archipelagic World 

• The world is transitioning from traditional land and sea-based models to an "archipelagic" system characterized by interconnected urban centers.

• China navigates this shift through its global projection capacity.

• "The world has surpassed the “overland” or “maritime” dilemma..."

• "The world is now best defined, as Gipouloux coined it, as archipelagic (italics mine), linking urban nebulas of different sizes and vocations."

Source: Caffeine Will Interfere With Sleep And Reduce Memory Consolidation And Cognitive Recovery, Contributing To Mental Fatigue And Burnout Author: Joachim Bartoll

•

The author describes caffeine as a toxic defense chemical that negatively impacts the body. "I’ve covered the toxic nature of caffeine, a defense chemical produced by plants, in several articles." "While it will make you perform and possibly feel better, it is extremely demanding on your body and your organs, not to mention the toxic and damaging effect of caffeine on tissues and especially the brain."

•

Caffeine induces a fight-or-flight stress response by blocking adenosine receptors and enhancing neurotransmitter release. "...it wreaks havoc on your body due to its ability to induce a fight-or-flight stress response as well as blocking adenosine receptors in the brain, which in turn enhances the effect of the fight-or-flight response by a larger release of neurotransmitters like adrenaline, dopamine, serotonin, acetylcholine, glutamate, and GABA — and thus inducing even more stress on the body than a regular stressful situation..." "As little as 35mg of caffeine, as in half a cup of coffee or a can of Pepsi/Cola, is enough to trigger a fight-or-flight stress response."

•

Caffeine interferes with sleep, reducing memory consolidation and cognitive recovery. "Caffeine Will Interfere With Sleep And Reduce Memory Consolidation And Cognitive Recovery, Contributing To Mental Fatigue And Burnout" "Considering the toxic effects of caffeine and its half-life of up to 7 hours (up to 14 hours clearing time,) even if you take it only earlier in the day, it will linger and affect your sleep..."

•

A study showed that caffeine increases brain signal complexity and "criticality" during sleep, particularly during NREM sleep. "They showed for the first time that caffeine increases the complexity of brain signals and enhances brain “criticality” during sleep." "The results showed that caffeine increased the complexity of brain signals, reflecting more dynamic and less predictable neuronal activity, especially during the non-rapid eye movement (NREM) phase of sleep that’s crucial for memory consolidation and cognitive recovery."

•

Caffeine alters brain electrical rhythms during sleep, suppressing restorative waves and stimulating wakeful activity. "The researchers also discovered striking changes in the brain’s electrical rhythms during sleep: caffeine attenuated slower oscillations such as theta and alpha waves — generally associated with deep, restorative sleep — and stimulated beta wave activity, which is more common during wakefulness and mental engagement."

•

These caffeine-induced disruptions to sleep can contribute to mental fatigue and burnout. "...the consumption of caffeine on a regular basis for extended periods of time could thus contribute to mental fatigue and burnout, characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment." "Again, this is one of many causes that can contribute to mental fatigue and burnout syndrome."

•

Young adults (20-27) appear more significantly affected by caffeine's impact on brain dynamics during sleep compared to middle-aged adults. "The study also showed that the effects of caffeine on brain dynamics were significantly more pronounced in young adults between ages 20 and 27 compared to middle-aged participants aged 41 to 58, especially during REM sleep..." "Young adults showed a greater response to caffeine, likely due to a higher density of adenosine receptors in their brains."

•

The author suggests that poor diet, rather than a need for stimulants, is the primary reason people experience fatigue. "Of course, a lot of people turn to these caffeinated products because their diet is complete sh*t and their blood sugar levels are all over the place, making them tired and lethargic, something that is extremely unnatural and only seen among humans who have been deceived to consume foods that are not species-appropriate — humans that do noy eat according to their physiology." "If you actually would follow our species-appropriate and natural human diet that we are constructed for, then we would...have no use for any of these stimulants, supplements or drugs, because we would feel 100% all the time and have endless amounts of energy."

Source: From the Moral Majority to a Moral Meltdown Author: Chuck Baldwin

•

The author reflects on his 50 years in ministry, including his involvement with the Moral Majority. "On this day, my wife and I—along with our local Liberty Fellowship family—commemorated the 50th anniversary of my ordination into the ministry." "I’ll begin this column from the time I was 27 years old (four years into the ministry) and had accepted a leadership position in the newly formed Moral Majority."

•

His time with the Moral Majority led to a "political marriage" between evangelical Christians and the Republican Party. "However, the ultimate (and persisting) result of those years was not so good." "I’m talking about the political marriage between evangelical Christians and the Republican Party."

•

Evangelicals now tend to prioritize loyalty to Republican politicians over other relationships or principles. "Throughout America, evangelical pastors and Christians will turn their backs on spiritual friendships, courageous, truth-telling pastors (pastor-friends), spiritually minded family members or anyone else in deference to a Republican politician—especially a Republican president." "And it doesn’t matter one whit how immoral, unethical or unconstitutional the conduct or public policies which that president promotes might be."

•

The author also identifies a "theological marriage" between evangelical Christians and the Zionist State of Israel stemming from the Moral Majority era. "The other thing that happened was a theological marriage between evangelical Christians and the Zionist State of Israel." "But the organized efforts of the Moral Majority, Christian Coalition, Religious Right, etc., produced an overt, unbreakable bond between evangelicals and the Zionist State of Israel."

•

Christian Zionism has become a deeply ingrained and essential doctrine within most evangelical churches. "Today, of course, Christian Zionism is a deeply entrenched major doctrine within most evangelical churches." "Most evangelicals would as soon deny the deity of Jesus Christ as to deny that Zionist Israel is a resurrected Old Testament Israel, essential to the Second Coming."

•

The author argues that US wars in the Middle East are, in reality, Israel's wars. "In 2003, evangelicals were completely clueless that Bush’s wars in the Middle East were in reality Israel’s wars." "And when Trump takes us to war with Iran, it will again be Israel’s war."

•

The author claims that criticism of Israel and its actions in Gaza is being suppressed by associating it with antisemitism. "And how ironic that the Republican Donald Trump is using the Republican G.W. Bush’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to declare war on the First Amendment freedom of speech to anyone who simply criticizes Israel and its genocide in Gaza either audibly or in print." "When he and Attorney General Pam Bondi talk about stamping out antisemitism, they are talking about eviscerating the most fundamental right of a free society: the freedom of speech."

•

The author warns that censoring speech on one subject opens the door to censoring any subject. "What they don’t seem to realize is that once you start censoring speech about one subject, the door is open to censor speech about any subject." (This point is supported by one sentence in the source).

•

The author contends that evangelicals have shifted from advocating for "goodness" and constitutional government to supporting Israel's actions in Gaza and endorsing the abridgment of liberties. "Those same evangelicals who worked so feverishly during the 80s and 90s to bring basic human goodness to America now support the destruction of innocent men women and children—including Christian men, women and children—in Gaza and the Middle East." "Those same evangelicals who so strongly supported constitutional government during the days of the Moral Majority are now totally silent or actually endorse government abridgment of our constitutionally protected liberties (particularly the freedom of speech)..."

Source: James Burnham’s "The Managerial Revolution" Author: Mark Gullick

•

The article analyzes James Burnham's 1941 book, which proposed a societal transition from capitalism to a new dominant form. "A key text to understanding this relatively new style of governance is James Burnham’s 1941 book, The Managerial Revolution." "The outgoing form of society is that dominated by capitalism...and 'our purpose is to analyze not capitalism but the type of society which is succeeding it'."

•

Burnham predicted the rise of a new ruling class called "managers". "The conclusion of this period of transformation...will find society organized through a quite different set of major economic, social, and political institutions..." "Within the new social structure, a different social group or class — the managers — will be the dominant or ruling class."

•

This managerial class derives its power not from ownership of property but from controlling property rights and the processes of production. "The new class does not exercise its power through property rights, but rather via control of those rights, which is at the heart of managerialism." "Throughout industry, de facto control by the managers over the actual processes of production is rapidly growing in terms both of the aspects of production to which it extends and the times in which it is exercised."

•

Managers are found in both private enterprise and government administration. "We may often recognize them as ‘production managers,’ operating executives, superintendents...or, in government...as administrators, commissioners, bureau heads, and so on.”" "The actual, day-by-day direction of the processes owned and operated by the government or controlled, without full ownership, by the government is in the hands of individuals strictly comparable to those whom we have called ‘managers’ in the case of private industry.”"

•

The capitalist "limited state" is being replaced by an "unlimited" managerial state. "The ‘limited state’ of capitalism is replaced by the ‘unlimited’ managerial state." "Managerial society has taken its place."

•

Burnham argued that totalitarianism depends on the managerial class for its function. "While the new managerial class can function in a state which is not totalitarian, totalitarianism cannot exist without the managers:" "Those nations — Russia, Germany, and Italy — which have advanced furthest toward the managerial social structure are all of them, at present, totalitarian dictatorships."

•

Burnham saw the US as moving towards a managerial society, with capitalists withdrawing from direct control. "As for US, although Burnham did not find it to be a managed concern yet, it was well on the way to becoming one:" "Correlatively, more and more of the control over production, both within the arena of private enterprise and in the state, goes into the hands of the managers."

•

Managers are characterized by a strong sense of assurance in their indispensability. "But no one who comes into contact with managers will fail to have noticed a very considerable assurance in their whole bearing." "They know they are indispensable in modern society."

•

A commenter suggests that the expansion of university education has contributed to managerialism by creating a large class of people seeking often useless managerial jobs. "The origin of managerialism is the extension of university education to the masses." "By taxing the productive part of society, masses of useless managerial jobs have been created to hire this kind of people, who are the voters of left-wing parties."

•

Another commenter proposes that individuals with sociopathic traits are strongly attracted to managerial positions due to the desire for power and control. "James Burnham demonstrated that he was a fool by failing to recognize that sociopaths, who sensu lato comprise at least 5% of the human population, are strongly attracted to power." "Thus, sociopaths gravitate to management at whichever level their mental capacity and political skill allows them to attain." (Citation contains supporting research mentioned).

The author suggests that judicial obstacles on the domestic front have shifted President Trump's focus to foreign policy as a way to achieve his "Make America Great Again" agenda. "Trump has discovered that Democrat 'judges' and some RINO ones can block and distract him from removing illegal aliens..." "On the domestic front the frustrations and delays of an over-reaching judicial system have shifted Trump’s focus abroad as an alternative way of Making America Great Again."

•

In a recent press conference, President Trump declared America's possession of Gaza, a statement Netanyahu reportedly seemed to accept. "In a recent press conference with Genocide King Netanyahu, President Trump declared America’s possession of Gaza." "Questioned by media, Netanyahu seemed to agree, at least for the sake of avoiding conflict with Israel’s American sponsor."

•

Trump is described as outlining a "new Middle East" that functions as Washington's colonial empire to control oil flows, differing from the previous goal of creating "Greater Israel". "Trump has begun to describe a new Middle East." "The New Middle East is to be Washington’s colonial empire, in which Washington achieves control over oil flows in a new way."

•

This new American colonial model is presented as a "profit-sharing empire" offering junior partnerships to Saudi Arabia and Iran. "Unlike the old colonialism in which the British and French exploited the region, sending the profits home, Trump is offering Saudi Arabia...a junior partnership." "The junior partnership is also being offered to the Iranians."

•

Gaza is proposed as the economic anchor for this new Middle East, potentially leading to an end to Israeli/Arab conflicts. "Gaza, Trump suggests, will be the highly developed anchor for making all of the Middle East rich." "And it puts an end to Israeli/Arab wars."

•

The author considers this proposed settlement a "brilliant" and unexpected development. "It is difficult not to see this as a brilliant settlement." "But the world never expected anything of this sort."

•

The author suggests the future global order might involve a division of power between Washington, Russia, and China, replacing the previous concept of American hegemony. "In place of the American neoconservative unipolar world of American hegemony there will be the division of the world between the three powers–Washington, Russia, and China." "Will the Zionist neoconservative American policymakers accept this or will they continue their pursuit of hegemony?"

•

Russian President Putin is reportedly seeking a broad agreement to end the West's conflict with Russia, not just the one in Ukraine. "President Putin is not interested in merely a negotiated end of the conflict in Ukraine." "Putin wants a Great Power Agreement that ends the West’s conflict with Russia."

Source: Original thinking is suppressed by the medical establishment Author: Rhoda Wilson (drawing on Dr. Vernon Coleman)

•

The article argues that original thinking and initiative are actively suppressed within the modern medical establishment, where dissent is stifled. "The medical establishment suppresses original thinking and initiative, with dissent being officially stifled, Dr. Vernon Coleman writes." "There’s no room for initiative and originality in modern medicine."

•

Ties to the pharmaceutical industry are seen as exacerbating this suppression and protecting ineffective or dangerous treatments. "The medical establishment’s suppression of original thought has been exacerbated by its ties to the pharmaceutical industry, leading to the protection of ineffective and dangerous therapies and the silencing of critics who question established practices." "Our problem is that the medical establishment was bought by the drug industry decades ago."

•

The medical system is described as producing doctors who act as "unquestioning prescription signing zombies" following established protocols rather than thinking critically. "The system is designed to produce “unquestioning prescription signing zombies” who follow party lines and worship the pharmaceutical industry..." "So, medical schools churn out platoons of unquestioning prescription-signing zombies."

•

Historically, major medical advances came from outsiders who challenged the establishment, but such voices are now more effectively silenced. "Over the centuries, just about every major advance in medicine has come as a result of the work of eccentric, passionate, determined unclubbables who have fought the establishment..." "Today, more than ever, the free thinkers outside the system are silenced."

•

Dangerous, ineffective, or unnecessary therapies and practices are protected or widely adopted. "Existing therapies which are dangerous, ineffective and even lethal, are protected." "Worthless, barbaric, dangerous treatments are often followed with great enthusiasm for decades after they have been shown to be utterly wrong-headed." (Using two sentences for better support).

•

Doctors are portrayed as lacking the courage to question the establishment or advocate for patients due to fear of losing their jobs and lack of independence. "Doctors do not have the courage to question the establishment or to have original ideas because they are employed, and, like all other employees, they are frightened of losing their jobs." "They do not dare stick up for their patients because they live in fear of bureaucratic censure."

•

Debate on controversial topics, such as vaccination, is suppressed by demonizing opponents rather than engaging with facts. "For example, the supporters of vaccination deal with opposition not by debate but by denouncing anyone who disagrees." "Critics are demonised as flat-earthers or holocaust deniers or accused of being in the pay of someone."

•

New licensing and revalidation schemes are seen as a way to remove doctors who do not conform to the establishment's rules or criticize practices like vaccination. "Now, new regulatory licensing schemes for doctors in the UK mean that practising doctors will in future have to be revalidated by a senior doctor who will make recommendations about their fitness to practice." "It seems to me likely that this will mean that any doctor who does not stick to the rules will be refused a licence and prevented from practising."

•

The author predicts that a followup "scamdemic," termed PSYOP-25, is imminent, anticipated around July 4th, 2025. "a followup scamdemic has been in the works since well before the release of the last one, and it appears that next gain of function (GOF) COVID operation is about to be foisted on the world in the coming weeks." "we are now just weeks away from their followup PSYOP-25. And picking July 4th as the release date perfectly accords with their sick and deranged Great Reset agenda."

•

Dr. David Martin is cited as predicting a significant number of deaths in the US associated with this event on July 4th, 2025. "And now Dr. David Martin has just predicted that 280,000 Americans will be murdered during these upcoming July 4th celebrations by the very same people who lied about weapons of mass destruction, the anthrax scare, and of course the PSYOP-19 scamdemic with associated depopulation “vaccines.”" "The infectious agent they used killed at least 280,000 Americans and infected at least 400,000 throughout the country in a single day..."

•

The author claims that prior vaccination has made populations vulnerable to this predicted viral release. "Since a majority of Americans are now both genetically modified and afflicted with VAIDS thanks to subjecting themselves to the Modified mRNA slow kill bioweapon “vaccines,” they have been primed to be especially vulnerable to any future GOF viral releases..." "...ongoing vaccine breakthrough infections now appear to be evolving in a way that facilitates immune deficiency against SC-2 altogether..."

•

A document titled "THE NATIONAL BLUEPRINT FOR BIODEFENSE" is referenced as outlining a hypothetical bioterrorist attack on July 4, 2025, mirroring the predicted event. "The document Dr. Martin was citing from last year is entitled, THE NATIONAL BLUEPRINT FOR BIODEFENSE, which just like EVENT 201 predicts yet another “pandemic:”" "JOINT INQUIRY INTO ADMINISTRATION AND CONGRESSIONAL ACTIONS BEFORE AND DURING THE BIOTERRORIST ATTACKS OF JULY 4, 2025"

•

Both the author and Dr. Martin conclude that the US government and its agencies are the true perpetrators of these events, viewed as biological weapons used to suppress liberty. "Except that the actual terrorists are the US Government and their various illegitimate and criminal Federal agencies..." "This has never been about COVID. This is about biological weapons perpetrated by the United States on the United States for the purpose of suppression of liberty."

•

The planned response to the hypothetical attack involves specific government agencies, which the author suggests indicates the parties responsible for the attack. "Over the next three weeks, the joint inquiry we'll hear from the Secretary of State, you definitely lead off with Secretary of State when it comes to health situation." "Next, the Secretary of Defense, because clearly we need the Defense Department to cover the fact that they did it again."

•

The author recommends avoiding vaccines and vaccinated individuals and using specific nutraceuticals and other products as prophylaxis. "The single best approach to this incoming scamdemic is to avoid any and all vaccines, avoid those that recently received vaccines and are potentially shedding..." "...as well as take a prophylaxis approach with a potent nutraceutical that will raise cellular pH...and have plenty of Ivermectin on hand which we know with absolute certainty will stop any GOF virus dead in its tracks."

Source: The American-Israeli Nineteenth-Century Ways of War Author: Thomas DiLorenzo

•

The author cites Ludwig von Mises on 19th-century imperialist powers using dehumanization propaganda to justify wars against perceived "lower races." "In his book Nation, State and Economy...Ludwig von Mises wrote of how nineteenth-century imperialist powers often preceded their wars of “conquest, subjugation, and extermination” with the dehumanization of their victims through massive propaganda campaigns..." "Mises noted that German, British, and American imperialist powers had waged wars against what they called “the lower races” — people who are supposedly “not ready for self government and never will be.”"

•

Examples of this historical US approach include the wars against the Plains Indians and the Philippine Insurrection. "The U.S. government’s twenty-five year war of genocide (1865-1890) against the Plains Indians should be added to this list." "When the Filipinos finally separated from the Spanish empire the U.S. government engulfed them into the American empire by killing at least 200,000 of them...during the 1899 Philippine Insurrection."

•

US military and political figures used dehumanizing language to justify violence against these groups. "'All the Indians will have to be killed or be maintained as a species of paupers,' said Lincoln’s favorite general." "In his biography of Teddy Roosevelt...Jim Powell wrote of how Roosevelt “justified” the mass murder of Filipinos by calling them “Chinese half breeds, savages, barbarians, a wild and ignorant people.”"

•

The author contends that modern American and Israeli militaries employ similar 19th-century methods against Palestinians. "This brief historical sketch brings us to how the American and Israeli militaries of today have adopted this nineteenth-century demonization and war of extermination against what they consider to be another “lesser race,” the Palestinians." "A May 21, 2025 headline in the French publication Le Monde declares that “In Israel, rhetoric dehumanizing Palestinians and calls for eradicating Gaza have become commonplace.”"

•

Dehumanizing rhetoric by Israeli figures is used to justify mass killings, destruction, and aid obstruction in Gaza. "The dehumanization of Palestinians by “government ministers, lawmakers, military experts, and public figures”...has been used “to justify the mass killing of Palestinians civilians, especially women and children, the destruction of entire cities...incitement to forced emigration, and the blockade of food and humanitarian aid to the point of famine.”" "More than 53,000 Palestinians have been killed, “a majority of them women and children,” and “over 60% of buildings have been destroyed.”"

•

Specific Israeli officials are quoted using dehumanizing terms and advocating for severe actions against Palestinians. "All of this was supported by Yoav Gallant, the former Israeli defense minister, who called all Palestinians “human animals.”" "Nissim Vaturi, the charming president of the Knesset has called for a genocidal war that would “wipe Gaza off the face of the Earth.”"

•

The author concludes that the current situation in Gaza is a "twenty-first century Holocaust" rooted in 19th-century American imperialist warfare and "lower race" theory. "In short, the twenty-first century Holocaust that is occurring in Gaza has its roots in the ways of war of mid-to-late nineteenth-century American imperialism." "It is being “justified” by a modern-day version of Teddy Roosevelt-style eugenicist “lower race” theory, with the implication that the promulgators of this theory must then think of themselves as some kind of master race."

The article examines the trend of "Celebrity Priests," defined as those marketed as influencers based on marketable attributes like appearance. "In this article, I write about the trend of Celebrity Priests." "Instead, I am referring to a trend of famous priests who are well-known not just because they have something good to say but because they are marketable as influencers and media figures because of good looks, youthfulness, and other attributes that facilitate viral media content."

•

These priests often adopt secular social media styles and create content reacting to pop culture. "More and more, I am seeing on my feeds videos of priests “reacting,” “responding,” or “reviewing” a host of things from the secular culture..." "In addition, it is becoming more common to see priests recording videos of themselves in the same ways that Zoomers and undignified millennials do."

•

Professional media teams are frequently involved in producing and promoting the content. "...it is clear that various media teams are behind the priests to help them promote their content." "It is clear that professional teams are producing the thumbnails, filming the videos, and generating the scripts and topics based on viral trend predictors for these priests."

•

A concerning aspect is the deliberate marketing of priests to look handsome or attractive. "What is most disturbing, however, is that, in many cases, there is a clear intention by the producers to market the priest in a way that makes him look more handsome or attractive." "Marketing teams and social-media graphics creators are well aware that in a sea of thumbnails, an attractive image will garner more clicks than a not attractive image."

•

The author considers marketing a priest's physical attractiveness to draw viewership, particularly from women, to be sinful. "And, they are well aware that an attractive image of an attractive man will bring in clicks from women sucked in by the attraction." "I cannot for the life of me see how that could not be sinful."

•

Some celebrity priests posting images of themselves working out or flexing is seen as problematic and inappropriate for a priest. "In addition, it is not uncommon to see the most well-known of these priests in workout settings or even posting images of themselves flexing in gyms." "Personally, I don’t think anyone should post an image of himself flexing, and a priest certainly should not do so; it is vainglorious, sensual, prideful, and seemingly gay."

The author states that Germany's new chancellor, Friedrich Merz, has increased concerns about a potential third world war through his stance on Ukraine. "ERLIN—Friedrich Merz has been in office as Germany’s new chancellor a matter of weeks, and already he has the German capital aflutter with worry about the increasing danger of a third world war." "More to the point, while Germans are fearful of such a prospect, the Russians are warning of it."

•

Merz has indicated his intention to authorize the supply of German-made ballistic missiles to Ukraine without restrictions on their use against Russian territory. "In a series of recent remarks...Merz has stopped just short of stating that he intends to authorize supplies of German-made ballistic missiles to Ukraine and to do so without imposing restrictions on the Kiev regime’s use of them to attack Russian territory." "Planning to deploy the Taurus is a daringly provocative escalation of Germany’s involvement in the West’s proxy war against the Russians."

•

Providing missiles like the Taurus, capable of reaching Moscow, is considered a significant "tripwire" for Russia, potentially leading to retaliation against Germany. "This is a tripwire for Moscow, as Merz cannot possibly fail to see." "In an opinion piece the previous day on the Russian news network RT, its longtime editor-in-chief, Margarita Simonyan, suggested Russia should attack Berlin if Germany sends [Taurus]..."

•

Supplying sophisticated systems like the Taurus would likely necessitate German personnel and targeting data in Ukraine, increasing Germany's direct involvement. "With a range of 500 kilometers...the Ukrainians would need German personnel to operate these systems." "Germans would also supply targeting data from a location, not yet known, in Germany."

•

Merz's predecessor refused to send Taurus missiles, and German public opinion remains opposed to their deployment in Ukraine. "This is why Merz’s predecessor, Olaf Scholz, refused to send the Ukrainians Taurus missiles." "To the extent public opinion matters to Merz, German voters are decisively opposed to Taurus deployments in Ukraine."

•

The author suggests the West has lost the proxy war in Ukraine but is prolonging it in denial, contrary to official narratives. "The author believes the West has lost the proxy war the U.S. and its European clients provoked in February 2022 — this is now patently so..." "...and in a state of desperate denial there is a prevalent compulsion in the Atlantic alliance to prolong it beyond, well beyond, the point it makes any sense whatsoever."

•

Russian figures view Germany's military actions and support for Ukraine through the historical lens of the last century, emphasizing the gravity of the situation. "And it is well to remind ourselves that Russians view Merz’s ambitions on the military side, including his apparent determination to escalate Germany’s military support for Ukraine, through history’s lens." "Many were immediately reminded of the last century, when Germany twice became the leading military power,” he said, “and how much trouble that caused.”"

Environmental Degradation, including climate change and extreme weather, is presented as a primary indicator threatening resources and potentially leading to conflict. "One of the most pressing indicators of an impending apocalypse is the rapid degradation of our environment." "This degradation does not only impact natural systems; it also poses significant risks to food security, water supply, and human health. As resources become scarcer and competition for them intensifies, social unrest and conflict may follow—potentially setting the stage for a more significant apocalyptic scenario."

Geopolitical Tensions, exacerbated by factors like nationalism and resource disputes, can escalate into large-scale warfare, including cyber warfare, causing regional and global destabilization. "In an increasingly interconnected world, geopolitical tensions can escalate into larger conflicts with global ramifications." "Furthermore, cyber warfare has emerged as a new battlefield where digital attacks can disrupt critical infrastructure, sowing discord and fear among populations."
