A Golden Share Will Not Make America Great Again - Ron Paul, MD

• Government intervention in private businesses is criticized as detrimental to economic efficiency and profitability. Decisions made under government ownership or influence are based on political considerations rather than improving productivity, which can lead to financial losses, layoffs, or reliance on subsidies.

• The proposed "golden share" in US Steel for the US government is highlighted as a mechanism for extensive control over a private company. This power could be used to override management decisions, dictate production priorities for military needs, restrict exports, or interfere with labor relations, all under the broad justification of "national security."

• The blocking of Nippon Steel's acquisition of US Steel by both the Biden and Trump administrations is viewed as disappointing and economically unwise. Nippon Steel had plans to invest billions in modernizing US Steel's facilities, despite US Steel's historical significance as a symbol of American economic dominance.

• Government involvement in the housing market, such as guaranteeing mortgage loans through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, is warned to lead to economic instability. This intervention can cause over-investment and speculative bubbles, potentially leading to housing crashes worse than previous ones if investors are shielded from losses while retaining profits.

• The article advocates for a policy of limited government, free markets, free trade, peace, and sound money as the true path to prosperity. It argues that government interventions, regardless of their stated positive goals, ultimately result in economic stagnation, recessions, or even depressions.

President Trump’s Plans for the Middle East – With Syria in Focus - Peter Koenig

• President Trump's visit to Riyadh in May 2025 was characterized by significant deal-making, including a substantial arms deal and investment pledges from Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia signed a $142 billion arms deal with the US and committed an additional $600 billion in American investments, showcasing a key aspect of Trump's "deal-making" approach.

• A major and controversial policy shift announced by President Trump was the lifting of all sanctions on Syria, ending nearly 50 years of US sanctions. This move included a handshake with Syria’s Interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa, a figure previously targeted by the US as a senior Al-Qaeda figure with a $10 million bounty.

• The article questions the true agenda behind the lifting of Syrian sanctions and the unexpected friendliness with Ahmad al-Sharaa, suggesting it might serve Israel's expansionist goals. It is implied that regional stability, facilitated by the rebuilding of Syria by Saudi Arabia and the Emirates, could make it easier for Israel to infiltrate and eventually control Syria without armed conflict, as part of its "Greater Israel dream."

• The author asserts that Ahmad al-Sharaa, Syria’s Interim President, was an Al-Qaeda fighter who reportedly joined the group before the 2003 Iraq invasion and fought in the insurgency. The source also claims that Al-Qaeda itself was created by the US in 1988 in Peshawar, Pakistan, and that al-Sharaa's actions in Syria are seen as being "at the behest of Washington."

Putting Israel First, Rubio Victimizes Harmless Student Over Op-Ed - Brian McGlinchey

• Secretary of State Marco Rubio is accused of orchestrating the abduction, imprisonment, and deportation of foreign students who criticize the Israeli government. This campaign targets students, like Tufts PhD candidate Rumeysa Ozturk, who have not been charged with any crimes but have expressed views deemed critical of Israel.

• The case of Rumeysa Ozturk exemplifies the campaign's methods; she was arrested and detained for co-authoring an op-ed urging her university to characterize Israel's actions in Gaza as plausible genocide and to divest from Israel-related investments. The op-ed was described as calm and measured, drawing parallels to a past divestment from apartheid South Africa, and did not mention or endorse Hamas.

• The Trump administration is alleged to have slandered Ozturk by falsely claiming she supported Hamas, but a federal judge found no evidence to support this accusation beyond the op-ed itself. Despite her release from confinement on court order, Ozturk still faces deportation, highlighting the government's continued targeting of nonviolent foreign students.

• The article argues that this persecution is a significant escalation of tactics to vilify criticism of Israel as antisemitism, even when similar criticisms come from respected Israeli figures. It contends that such government-weaponized allegations are used to suppress expression of political beliefs, and that the notion of criticism creating a "hostile environment" for Jewish students is itself a form of bigotry.

• The Trump administration is exploiting the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, which grants the Secretary of State broad power to deport foreigners deemed "adversarial to the foreign policy and national security interests," without clear standards or due process. Critics warn that using visa revocations to punish political speech sets a dangerous precedent, threatening free speech rights, which are presented as inherent human rights, not government-granted privileges.

Tetanus Vaccines Are Not Necessary and They Can Cause Harm, Even Death - Rhoda Wilson

• The article asserts that tetanus vaccines are unnecessary and potentially harmful, claiming that their role in reducing tetanus deaths has been minimal compared to improvements in sanitation and other environmental changes. It highlights that tetanus fatalities were already in decline before mass vaccination began in the late 1940s, primarily due to factors like reduced horse manure in streets.

• Tetanus vaccines are alleged to contain various harmful substances, including high amounts of aluminum, formaldehyde, polysorbate 80, and mercury (Thimerosal). Additionally, certain tetanus-containing vaccines (DTP, Tdap, DT) are cultured on casein-derived amino acids, meaning they contain cow's milk protein, which can trigger severe allergic reactions like anaphylaxis in susceptible individuals.

• The risk of severe vaccine injury from tetanus vaccines is claimed to be significantly higher than the risk of dying from tetanus in developed countries. The article cites a study suggesting that high-dose intravenous vitamin C can achieve a 100% reduction in case-fatality rates for young tetanus patients, presenting it as an overlooked cure.

• Financial motivations are suggested as a strong driver for vaccine recommendations and booster schedules, leading to significant profits for pharmaceutical companies. The article estimates the annual tetanus vaccine market for pregnant women in the US at $190 million and suggests that the CDC's recommendation for 10-year boosters (contrary to WHO guidelines) has generated an estimated $2 billion in sales over eight years.

• Concerns are raised about the Tdap vaccine potentially being used as a form of population control, citing evidence of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) antigen found in tetanus vaccines during a mass vaccination campaign in Kenya. HCG is known to cause miscarriages and sterilization, leading to accusations of a "mass sterilization exercise."

The Coming Artificial Intelligence Crisis: Power Without Oversight - Richard Gale and Dr. Gary Null

• Artificial intelligence (AI) is presented as a growing crisis that poses an existential threat to humanity if not managed with an "off switch" or proper oversight. This warning comes from a range of experts including ethicists, scientists, and tech leaders, who believe AI's rapid development could lead to widespread social and political disruption.

• Early thinkers like Norbert Wiener and Jacques Ellul, and more recent critics such as Francis Fukuyama and Leon Kass, foreseen the dangers of unchecked technological advancement and AI's potential to undermine human agency, freedom, and democratic systems. They warned that technology could become autonomous, eroding human judgment and leading to a form of "techno-fascism," where power concentrates in the hands of those controlling the machines.

• The lack of governmental oversight for AI development is attributed to the immense profit potential, with AI firms commanding valuations 100 times their annual earnings or more. Projections suggest AI could generate $15 trillion globally by 2030, which disincentivizes policymakers from implementing regulations, with some even proposing legislation to prevent states from imposing their own limits.

• AI systems are already shaping narratives and manipulating public perception, exemplified by their role during the COVID-19 pandemic in silencing dissent and enforcing "official" government narratives. This capability raises concerns about unprecedented levels of surveillance and population behavioral control, akin to social credit systems in nations like China.

• A major and immediate impact of AI is the widespread destruction of livelihoods, as AI combined with robotics threatens millions of jobs across almost every sector of the economy. Studies indicate that a significant portion of the American workforce, particularly low- and middle-wage positions, are at high risk of automation by 2030, potentially leading to increased psychological despair and civil unrest.

• AI's reliance on human-selected data means it can embed and amplify ideological biases of its developers, potentially reconfiguring reality through algorithmic decrees. An example cited is an AI generating a Black George Washington due to "overcorrection toward diversity and inclusion," demonstrating how such errors can become "weapons of manipulation" when deployed in critical systems.

Trump Orders China to "Open Up" To Wall Street Looting - Mike Whitney

• President Trump's efforts to compel China to "open up" its key economic sectors like finance and high-tech are portrayed as a move to allow Wall Street and "billionaire Zionist buddies" to gain control over China's assets. The author contends that this objective is driven by a desire to access China's vast surplus capital rather than genuinely bringing manufacturing jobs back to the US.

• Trump's accusation that China "totally violated its agreement" regarding tariffs is disputed, as no formal treaty or binding contract existed. The actual agreement was merely to establish a "US-China trade consultation mechanism," with China making no concessions, while the US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had offered tariff reductions due to market volatility.

• The underlying issue of Trump's "non-tariff countermeasures" against China is revealed to be related to US policies, such as banning Huawei's new AI chips "anywhere in the world," which China views as undermining previous agreements. In response, China has reportedly slowed approvals for rare earth export licenses, impacting US industries.

• Scott Bessent, Trump's Treasury Secretary, is highlighted as a former hedge fund manager from Soros Fund Management who advocated for restricting China's economic relationships to leverage trade talks and push for China's financial market liberalization. The author asserts that Bessent and Trump share a common goal of enabling Wall Street banks to operate freely within China's financial sector and tap into its massive household savings.

• Despite some liberalization, China's Communist Party (CCP) maintains absolute control over its banking and financial sectors, including the Central Bank, leading the author to believe China will resist full financial subjugation to Wall Street. The author warns that "the most dangerous time for China is when the decline of the U.S. reaches terminal velocity & parasitic Western/Zionist billionaires look for a new host," suggesting China is aware of the risks.

Trying To Boost SMR Will Likely Destroy Your Sleep And Health - Joachim Bartoll

• The author strongly refutes the idea of boosting one's sleeping metabolic rate (SMR) for fat burning, arguing that "calories" as a measurement of heat production are irrelevant to human physiology. Instead, the body uses "nutrient molecules" for energy through chemical reactions, and sleep is a time for detoxification and healing, not for maximizing energy expenditure.

• Eating before bed, especially protein, is strongly advised against, as digestion interferes with the body's natural detoxification and healing processes that accelerate during sleep. Digestion also blunts the natural release of growth hormone, which occurs in the early phases of sleep, particularly if one sleeps between 10:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m.

• While having adequate muscle mass is beneficial for various reasons like protection and bone density, maintaining excessive muscle mass is deemed metabolically taxing and can accelerate aging. A higher basal metabolic rate (BMR), often associated with more muscle, implies more chemical reactions and stress on cells, which can lead to a shorter lifespan.

• The author advocates for an "animal-based and natural human diet" as the optimal way to promote health and longevity, especially for those with muscular physiques. This diet is recommended for reducing toxicity and cellular damage, while advising against carbohydrates, seed oils, and processed plant-based foods.

• For quality sleep and overall health, the author emphasizes sleeping in a calm, relaxed state and ensuring a fasted state before bed. Attempts to boost SMR through methods like sleeping in a cooler room or consuming supplements are dismissed if they compromise sleep quality, as proper sleep is essential for restoration.

Vanuatu MPs Call on Politicians Worldwide to Demand Dr. Reiner Fuellmich’s Release - Rhoda Wilson

• Two Members of Parliament from Vanuatu, Andrew Napuat and John Salong, publicly spoke out against "covid vaccines," warning their constituents of potential dangers. Their actions led to attempts by the government to arrest and prosecute them, and social media platforms in Vanuatu censored their videos, prompting them to seek international avenues for information dissemination.

• Dr. Reiner Fuellmich is presented as a pivotal figure in seeking justice for "covid crimes," having shown a "legal way" for global lawyers to prosecute entities like the UN, WHO, World Economic Forum, and Bill Gates. His arrest and subsequent trial in Germany are strongly condemned as an "illegal kidnapping and persecution" and a "complete blatant violation of human rights."

• The Vanuatu MPs, who benefited from Dr. Fuellmich's assistance in their fight for freedom against what they perceived as dangerous experimental injections, are now calling on politicians worldwide to demand his immediate release. Their advocacy is highlighted as a testament to Dr. Fuellmich's positive impact on humanity and his efforts to hold accountable those acting "against humanity."

Will Russia’s Retaliation To Ukraine’s Strategic Drone Strikes Decisively End The Conflict? - Andrew Korybko

• Ukraine conducted strategic drone strikes against Russian bases housing elements of its nuclear triad shortly before new peace talks, raising questions about potential US involvement. These strikes occurred less than a week after a cryptic warning from Trump to Putin, leading to speculation that Trump might have implicitly approved the attacks to "force Russia into peace."

• The author suggests that the Biden-era CIA might have orchestrated the drone attacks without Trump's knowledge to disrupt peace talks or extract concessions from Russia. Regardless of Trump's foreknowledge, Russia's inevitable retaliation is expected to escalate the conflict, potentially straining its relationship with Trump.

• The future of the conflict hinges on three potential outcomes following Russia's retaliation: Ukraine making concessions, Russia making concessions due to US pressure, or inconclusive talks leading to further US involvement. The most favorable outcome for Russia would be for Ukraine to yield to Putin's demands for peace.

• If Russia is coerced into concessions, it could result in Ukraine rearming and repositioning, potentially leading to the deployment of uniformed Western troops as "tripwires." Such a scenario could manipulate Trump into "escalating to de-escalate" if these Western troops are attacked by Russia.

• Trump is depicted as being misinformed about the conflict by his advisors, having misportrayed Russia's retaliatory strikes as unprovoked. In response to the escalation, Trump might approve legislation proposed by Lindsey Graham for imposing 500% tariffs on Russian energy clients, alongside ramping up armed aid to Ukraine.

The Fakest Person Ever? Brian Cox - Miles Mathis

• The author, Miles Mathis, characterizes Brian Cox as a "fake" figure, suggesting he was chosen for media appearances based on looks rather than genuine scientific credentials. Evidence cited includes Cox's "D" grade in A-level math and his role as a "fake keyboardist" in the band D:Ream, where others played the instruments on recordings.

• Cox's scientific work, particularly at particle accelerators, is dismissed by the author as part of "major fakery" and "huge money pits" that waste taxpayer money. The author notes that while Cox has co-written numerous popular physics books with a highly credentialed professor, ResearchGate lists no publications authored by Cox himself, only mentioning him.

• The article claims that Brian Cox promotes outdated and "hokum" physics theories that the author asserts to have "singlehandedly obliterated" years earlier, such as wave-particle duality and the standard model. Cox's bestselling book, "Quantum Universe," is interpreted as a deliberate attempt by the mainstream to "turn up the volume" on standing theories to "drown out" the author's criticisms.

• Brian Cox is described as a "humanist and atheist" who promotes "modern woke garbage" and was an active "vaccine pusher and Pfizer rep" during the Covid-19 pandemic. The author explicitly accuses Cox of being "complicit in mass murder" due to his role as a "talking head" for the Royal Society during this period.

‘One Quiet Early Morning in Beijing, the Dollar’s Crown Slipped’ - Alastair Crooke

• The United States is described as experiencing a profound "revolution," comparable to the dissolution of the USSR, stemming from an "economic defeat" and a growing awareness of this defeat. This economic decline is evidenced by the revealed fragility of Western financial power through sanctions policies and the limited capacity of the American military-industrial complex.

• The West, particularly Europe, is criticized for a "pathological dissociation from the real world" and a "surprising lack of awareness" of its own defeat, demonstrating a psychological dislocation due to the collapse of its triumphalist belief systems. This denial manifests as an inability to understand global events, such as Russian history or Shi’a defiance, and is expected to persist until forcibly confronted with reality.

• China's development of a digital "super highway" for money is presented as a direct threat to the US dollar's dominance, with China's CIPS (Cross-Border Interbank Payment System) surpassing SWIFT in daily transaction volume on April 16, 2025. This financial shift is seen as the core of the "New Cold War" against China, driven by the US Establishment's fear of losing its "magic weapon" of monetary hegemony.

• Trump's "reciprocal tariffs" and demands for increased contributions from NATO states are interpreted not as trade balancing measures, but as attempts to restructure creditors and secure revenue for the US capital account. His transactional approach and perceived unpredictability are said to be eroding his geopolitical credibility, prompting other nations to "hedge against the dollar."

• The stated goal of the "New Cold War" against China, which is common across US Establishment factions, is to "choke off China’s rise" and protect the dollar system from collapse. The idea of the US returning to its former manufacturing prominence is considered a "diversional narrative" intended for domestic consumption, given the significant decline in the manufacturing labor force over decades.
