Here are the key takeaway points from each of the provided sources, formatted as requested:
By Donald Jeffries
Lifelong Skepticism towards Authority:
The author confesses to being a "lifelong 'denier,'" recognizing flaws in authority figures from a very young age.
A critical thinker's intellect is not satisfied when curiosity is countered with phrases like "ours is not to question why, ours is just to do and die" or "do as I say, not as I do".
Origin of Skepticism:
A traumatic high school incident involving the author's brother on November 22, 1963 (the day of the JFK assassination), triggered the author's skepticism about all authority.
The author quickly learned that questioning teachers, or anyone in a position of power, did not lead to popularity.
Denial of Education and School Systems:
Upon entering middle school, the author observed how popularity was integrated into the hierarchy of the school system, with teachers favoring popular kids.
The author denied the value of "education," contributing to the primary reason for not applying to a four-year college.
Workplace and Professional Denial:
The author developed "Supervisor Denial," "Management Denial," "Director Denial," and "Administrator Denial" while working a blue-collar job in a hospital basement.
The author complained incessantly and showed no respect for "superiors," rightfully objecting to the term itself.
Specific Professional and Institutional Denial:
Working around many nurses led the author to develop "Nurse Denial," finding them generally haughty.
The author also developed "Doctor Denial," despising them for not acknowledging the existence of blue-collar workers like himself, viewing them as invisible.
"Denial" as a Label for Dissenting Opinions:
The author expresses concern that labeling a particular opinion as a "denial" categorizes it as a mental illness.
This practice began with "Holocaust Denial," where individuals have been imprisoned in other countries for disputing the official narrative by questioning numbers and the "Hollywoodish extermination program".
New "Denial" Maladies and "Phobias":
Following the "Greatest Psyop in the History of the World" and the 2020 election, "COVID Denial" and "Election Denial" emerged as new maladies.
The author notes that sometimes "absurd 'phobias'" like "Homophobia" are used instead of inventing another "denial" term.
Concerns about "Transphobia" and Mental Illness:
The author states a fear of seeing what is perceived as "real mental illness" being mainstreamed with the term "transphobia".
This fear includes seeing photos of smiling young girls with their mothers and doctors, displaying "Frankenstein chest scars".
By Mark Henry Crisis Magazine
Historic Papal Election and Naming Significance:
The election of Cardinal Robert Prevost as Pope Leo XIV, the first American to ascend the Chair of St. Peter, is viewed as a historic milestone and a providential moment for moral clarity.
His choice of the papal name Leo XIV honors Pope Leo XIII, whose 1891 encyclical Rerum Novarum addressed social crises brought by the Industrial Revolution.
AI as a New Societal Transformation:
Society is currently on the "cusp of another seismic transformation," driven by data and algorithms, not steam and steel, through the rise of artificial intelligence (AI).
Pope Leo XIV's inaugural address warned that AI poses new challenges for human dignity, justice, and labor, signaling the Church's readiness to offer moral clarity.
Concerns Over Tech Elites Shaping AI:
The article expresses concern that leaving the future of AI solely to Silicon Valley elites, who were present at President Trump's second inauguration, risks repeating past mistakes on an unprecedented scale.
These tech companies often promote ideologies at odds with Catholic social teaching and traditional values, and some platforms engaged in censorship and suppressed dissenting voices during the Covid pandemic.
Integrating Faith and Conservative Values into AI Development:
The convergence of Pope Leo XIV's moral leadership and the renewed influence of faithful Catholics in American public life, particularly after President Trump's election, offers a providential opportunity.
Policymakers are urged to draw from Catholic social teaching and compatible voices like E.F. Schumacher and Rick Santorum to ensure AI aligns with human dignity and the common good.
Defining Success in the AI Race:
While President Trump has emphasized the need for America to "win" the AI race, success should not be defined solely by economic or military advantage.
Instead, success must be measured by whether AI strengthens human dignity, protects the vulnerable, and promotes the common good.
Call for Regulatory Frameworks Based on Catholic Principles:
Achieving a human-centered AI future will require regulatory frameworks deeply informed by Catholic principles.
Specifically, principles like subsidiarity and solidarity, along with traditional values such as faith, family, and freedom, are highlighted as crucial for these frameworks.
Critique of Unchecked Industrial Power and Capitalism:
Pope Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum championed workers' dignity and private property rights while warning against the excesses of unbridled capitalism and the false promises of socialism.
The Jungle by Upton Sinclair is cited as another work decrying the degradation of human dignity due to unchecked industrial power, offering a different solution than Rerum Novarum.
By Eugene Kusmiak
China's Rapid Population Decline:
China, once the world's most populous country, is now shrinking due to an extremely low birthrate where deaths outnumber births.
Current demographic projections suggest that by the end of this century, the Chinese population could crash to 500 million, while the American population could soar to 700 million.
Alarmingly Low Fertility Rate:
China's fertility rate is 1 child per woman, which is half of the replacement level needed to maintain population size.
This means each generation is only half the size of the previous one, and demographers project China could face a 60+% population loss by the end of this century.
Economic Consequences of Demographic Decline:
The author predicts that after a few more generations of having only one child per family, China's population will become small and its economy minuscule.
Demographic loss on the scale China is facing implies not merely a contracting economy, but a collapsing economy, as old, sick, or dead people cannot innovate.
China as an Outlier in Fertility and Income:
China is noted as a major exception to the general rule that rich countries have fewer children and poor countries have more, being a middle-income country with a shockingly low birthrate.
Among middle-income countries, China and war-ravaged Ukraine had the lowest fertility rates in 2023.
Irreversible Age Imbalance:
Even if the Chinese government could persuade women to have more children, there are simply not enough young women in the population today to reverse the ongoing decline.
Most Chinese people are already over the age of 40 and past childbearing age, making recovery from the existing age imbalance biologically impossible.
Absurdity of "Cannot Afford Children" Claim:
The common answer that people "can't afford to have children" is deemed absurd, especially in China's case.
Chinese people now claim they can't afford children despite being 4000% richer than 50 years ago, when they were "unimaginably poor" but had so many children the government implemented a one-child policy.
Failure of Government Incentives:
The Chinese government has actively encouraged childbearing and provided financial incentives to married couples, but these efforts have "failed miserably".
This failure is consistent with similar programs in other countries like South Korea, suggesting financial programs alone are ineffective.
Projections of Future Fertility Crash:
If China becomes wealthy like Singapore, its fertility rate is predicted to fall to as low as 0.03, effectively rounding to 0 children per woman.
Two scenarios are presented: slow extinction if fertility falls to 0.75 (like other rich Chinese-ethnicity countries), or extinction in one generation if it falls to 0.03.
Impact of the One-Child Policy:
For 35 years, China enforced a draconian one-child policy that fundamentally altered people's expectations about family size and may have "broken the Chinese family".
This policy led to a significant age imbalance, with most of the population now past childbearing age, making population recovery difficult.
Declining Marriage Rates Accelerating Fertility Crisis:
China's marriage rates plummeted by a record-breaking 20% from 2023 to 2024, with the number of marriages less than half of what it was in 2013.
Given that almost no births occur out of wedlock in China, plunging marriage rates directly forecast plunging birthrates, accelerating the country's fertility catastrophe.

DARPA's Interest in Advanced Disease Outbreak Simulation:
The US Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to gather insights on "cutting-edge disease outbreak simulation computer models".
DARPA is particularly interested in models capable of simulating intervention strategies, including vaccination campaigns, social distancing, quarantine protocols, and the use of AI and machine learning.
Normalization of Covid-Era Interventions and Militaristic Approach:
The article suggests that the "unscientific and harmful interventions" deployed during the Covid "pandemic" have become the "new normal" for disease outbreaks.
This implies a future where AI and the military will play a larger role in disease outbreak response strategies, moving towards a "militaristic algorithmic approach to public health emergency response".
Purpose of DARPA's RFI in National Security:
DARPA explains the RFI's purpose is to enhance understanding of outbreak dynamics and improve future public health emergency preparedness, stating that "infectious agents pose a significant threat to the homeland and to deployed warfighters globally".
The agency is committed to developing advanced modeling capabilities to optimize response strategies and inform future biotechnology innovations to protect the population from biological threats.
Modeling of Intervention Strategies and Behavior Prediction:
DARPA's RFI specifically seeks information on modeling various intervention strategies, such as vaccination campaigns, social distancing, quarantine, treatments, and public health communication.
New DARPA programs like Kallisti and MAGICS aim to create algorithmic models to predict and influence collective human behavior during public health emergencies.
Concerns Over Control and Manipulation:
The development of these technologies sparks concerns about governments and corporations using them to control and manipulate public behavior, especially concerning measures like lockdowns and vaccination strategies.
The "Sociable" article questions why the Pentagon is modeling disease outbreaks and intervention strategies while simultaneously seeking to predict and manipulate collective human behavior, noting that "adversaries" could include those who question official messaging.
By Rhoda Wilson
Digital Dystopia: Mind Uploading and Transhumanism:
The concept of mind uploading, where human consciousness is transferred to a computer, is explored as a theoretical possibility among transhumanists who believe it could lead to immortality.
Achieving mind uploading is considered an extraordinarily difficult task, requiring scanning and mapping the complete 3D structure of the human brain, replicating its complexity, and simulating senses, predicted to take over a century.
Palantir's Influence and Goals in Data and Government:
Palantir Technologies, co-founded by Peter Thiel, is a data company that helps governments and corporations make sense of data and offers platforms that "offer control and are shaping how institutions act".
Palantir's stated goal is to become an operating system for governments, expanding its mission beyond preventing terrorism into commercial, healthcare, and civilian infrastructure.
Advanced Censorship and Surveillance Technologies:
A smuggled North Korean phone revealed the regime's efforts to censor information and monitor citizens through modified smartphone features, including automatic screenshotting every 5 minutes.
The phone's software can automatically edit or replace words and issue warnings, allowing "youth crackdown squads" to track and punish citizens for accessing or sharing illegal information.
Climate Change Dystopia: UK Electricity and Deindustrialization:
The UK's Net Zero plan, involving banning gas boilers and installing heat pumps, is deemed unfeasible due to insufficient electricity supply and the high cost and impracticality of hydrogen storage.
The UK faces an "existential threat" to its economy due to having the highest industrial electricity prices in Europe, making it difficult to compete in energy-intensive industries and potentially leading to further deindustrialization.
"Policy Costs" Driving High UK Electricity Prices:
Official data indicates that while gas price rises contributed £4 billion to electricity costs since 2019, the total retail value of electricity increased by £27 billion.
The remaining £23 billion increase is attributed to "policy costs," such as renewable subsidies, system balancing costs, and grid upgrades, rather than the cost of gas.
Proposed EU Moratorium on Solar Radiation Modification (SRM):
The European Union is considering a proposal to ban solar radiation modification (SRM) technologies, also known as solar geoengineering or "chemtrails," across the EU.
Scientists warn of high uncertainties regarding SRM's risks and benefits, leading the European Commission’s Scientific Advice Mechanism to recommend an EU-wide moratorium and a push for worldwide UN global governance of SRM experimentation.
Critique of WHO's Performance and New Pandemic Treaty:
The World Health Organization (WHO) is criticized for "failing upward," with its Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus accused of spreading misinformation during the Covid "pandemic".
Despite its actions leading to "lasting damage," the WHO is being "rewarded with a new pandemic treaty that will strengthen its framework for global health cooperation".
Immigration Contributing to Housing Crises:
Reports from Canada and Australia indicate that mass immigration is being used to "deliberately create a perpetual housing crisis".
In the first four months of 2025, the arrival of 817,000 immigrants in Canada hindered government efforts to solve the housing crisis, straining the already stressed housing supply.
Allegations of Selling Babies and Baby Parts:
The article highlights claims that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was purchasing baby skulls for $515 each during the Obama administration.
Tweets cited in the source allege that babies are still alive when their organs are sold because "they have to be fresh," labeling this practice as "disgusting".
By Karen Kwiatkowski
State's Ambition for Totalitarian Control:
The author argues that the state's pursuit of "totalitarianism and its mass rape of communities and continents" to increase surveillance and power is driven by ambition and hurriedness, not "slouching".
In contrast to the state's drive, the masses employed by or benefiting from the state through war employment, corporate capitalism, and welfare are depicted as unproductive and wasteful.
Gaza as a Model of State Extermination Policy:
The current situation in Gaza is presented as a brutal trend of "intentionally starved, impoverished, and injured communities herded to and fro, into smaller and smaller pens, for the inevitable slaughter".
This process is described as "not experimental; it is policy," and is also stated to be US policy, benefiting the "US kakistocracy".
US Perpetuation of Zionism and Colonial Racism:
Political Zionism is characterized as embedded with "unsubtle European-style colonial racism," akin to what is documented in George Orwell's Burmese Days.
The United States government is accused of actively perpetuating this racism and colonialism in lockstep with Israel for seven decades, despite most of the planet condemning it.
Modern Warfare Tactics: Deceit and Booby Traps:
Ukraine's attack on Russia's long-range nuclear-capable bombers, using commercial truckers to conceal drones deep inside Russia, is cited as an example of deceptive warfare tactics.
The use of modern supply chains and the interconnected world of commerce to hide and conduct attacks is noted as not uncommon, drawing parallels to the Oklahoma City bombing and 9/11 attacks.
Booby Traps as a Sign of a Losing Empire:
The author suggests that tactics appearing "ingenious and 'rebel-like'" might actually be "desperate moves of a losing Empire," especially when considering the Western alliance's imperial play against Russia in Ukraine.
Once a booby trap is exposed, the battlefield changes irreversibly, making the "enemy" wiser and the perpetrator more endangered.
State's Effort to Undermine Human Intuition:
Human intuition is individual, and therefore state efforts to "reduce, ridicule, and overrule it are always a priority".
The Covid exercise, with its lockdowns, state propaganda, and mandated injections, is likened to Phase III software testing, where units must operate simultaneously as a complete system.
State's Pursuit of Global War Despite Public Desire for Peace:
The outlines of the "real battle" become clear when "every population on earth wants peace, but every ruling political party and their sponsors want war".
The state is perceived as "sneak[ing] toward global war," even envisioning a "limited" nuclear exchange that they believe will aid their causes and be immensely useful.
Vulnerability to False Flags and State Agenda:
The reaction of some in the USAF to the Ukrainian truck delivery of drones was alarm, not about WWIII starting, but about their own vulnerability to such attacks, including potential "false flags planned and conducted on American soil, against Americans, to push the state agenda forward".
Continued war in Israel and Ukraine is not wanted by rational people and could be stopped by eliminating Washington's massive logistics, intelligence sharing, weapons, cash, and political support.
By Henry Makow PhD, Charles Socarides M.D., and others
Feminism as a Depopulation Program:
The author asserts that the "Illuminati (Communists) used Feminism to attack society at its weakest point - women".
Feminism is presented as "essentially a depopulation program" that convinces women to prioritize career over marriage and family during their most fertile years.
Psychological Sterilization and Degradation of Western Women:
Western women are depicted as "psychologically sterilized," taught that love, marriage, and family are "oppressive," leading to desperation as men turn away from them.
This results in a loss of innocence, making women "hardened and calculating" and "unfit to receive her husband's seed".
Contrasting Gender Roles and Cultural Values:
The article contrasts the "totally hidden" Muslim woman in a burka, whose focus is on her husband and family, with the "totally exposed" bikinied American beauty queen who is "public property".
The burka is seen to represent a woman's "consecration to her future husband and family, and the modesty and dignity this entails," values the author advocates.
Feminism's Role in Undermining Sexual Identity and Family:
Feminism is accused of deceiving women into believing femininity is "oppression" and encouraging them to adopt male behavior, resulting in "confused and aggressive" women unfit for marriage or motherhood.
This is stated as a goal of "NWO social engineers" to destroy the family, create dysfunction, and reduce the population, intending women to be "autonomous sex objects" rather than mothers.
Parenthood as Human Development vs. New World Order Goals:
Parenthood is described as the "pinnacle of human development," where individuals "graduate from self-indulgence and become God's surrogates: creating and nurturing new life".
The "New World Order" is seen as opposing this maturity, promoting pornography as a substitute for marriage and keeping individuals "stunted, sex-starved and self-obsessed".
Global Control by a Satanist Banking Cartel:
The author claims that Canada and the world are in "bondage to the Satanist Rothschild banking cartel," which controls society through credit.
Most politicians are alleged to be Freemasons working for the Rothschilds, and society is described as "satanically possessed" and "colonized by a satanic cult, Freemasonry (Jewish Cabalism)".
Promotion of Homosexuality for Depopulation and Destabilization:
The promotion of homosexuality is presented as a deliberate design to "depopulate and destabilize society by destroying gender distinctions and the nuclear family".
It is claimed that until 1975, homosexuality was recognized as a "developmental disorder," and the "massive crusade to mainstream homosexuality is characteristic of Satanism".
Orchestrated "Homosexual Revolution":
The "homosexual revolution" did not "just happen" but was "all part of a plan" to "make the whole world gay," as detailed in Dennis Altman's The Homosexualization of America.
This plan involved targeting the psychiatric community to redefine homosexuality as "not a disorder" through "political manoeuvres, lies and outright flim-flams".
Brainwashing Techniques for Societal Acceptance:
The normalization of homosexuality is attributed to "brainwashing techniques" described in After the Ball by Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen, such as desensitization, jamming, and conversion.
These techniques aimed to make the public indifferent, shame them into feeling guilt about "bigotry," and ultimately convert their emotions, mind, and will through propaganda.
"Homophobia" as an Invented Label:
Gay activists created the concept of "homophobia" as a "disease" that they project onto society, accusing objectors of being "bigots" who lack compassion.
This strategy aimed to establish that since gays are "born that way," calling same-sex behavior "aberrant" makes one "un-American".
Media's Role in Promoting the "Gay Revolution":
Television and movie producers began creating stories to promote homosexuality as a legitimate lifestyle.
Print media tended to "hail the gay revolution," possibly due to reporters on gay issues being gay themselves or intimidated by groupthink.
Russia's Stance on "Nontraditional Sexual Relations":
Russia's family values bill does not make homosexuality illegal but prohibits "propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations," defined as "relations not conducive to procreation".
The law imposes significant fines for providing LGBT information to minors, holding gay pride events, or equating gay and heterosexual relationships.
Financial Armageddon and Nuclear War as a Cover-Up:
It is suggested that "Western nations are pushing Russia into a nuclear response to cover up planned financial Armageddon".
This nuclear escalation would provide a "cover story" for a "Great Reset / Great Taking," allowing "government-connected ultra-wealthy banksters" to blame Russia when assets vanish.
Debunking the Tiananmen Square "Massacre" Narrative:
An article from The Diplomat describes the Tiananmen Square event as a "brutal[] and bloodily suppress[ed]" protest resulting in "the slaughter of thousands of students and citizens".
However, a direct eyewitness, Jay Mathews of The Washington Post, stated, "as far as can be determined from the available evidence, no one died that night in Tiananmen Square".
COVID-19 as a "Psy Op" and Bioweapon:
COVID is referred to as "nothing but the flu rebranded" and is categorized as a "depopulation psy op".
A poll indicates that 88% of Americans want "Big Pharma Mafia" held "financially responsible" for injuries and deaths caused by the "Covid-Bioweapon-Jab".
By Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.
High Regard for Rothbard's Man, Economy, and State (MES):
Murray Rothbard’s Man, Economy, and State (MES) is hailed as "one of the two greatest books on free market economics of the twentieth century," alongside Ludwig von Mises’s Human Action.
Mises himself called MES an "epochal contribution to economics" that made "many important theoretical innovations".
Critique of Unemployment and Wage Rates:
Rothbard's MES highlights that the "missing link" in modern and Keynesian discussions of unemployment is precisely the wage rate.
He posits that any supply of labor can be sold if wages are set at a market-clearing rate, and unemployment arises when job seekers insist on a higher wage than their "discounted marginal value product".
Systematic Typology of Government Intervention:
A key strength of MES is Rothbard's systematic classification of all possible types of government interference with the free market, demonstrating their flaws.
He categorizes interventions into three broad types: autistic (restricting individual property use), binary (compelling exchange or gifts between intervener and subject), and triangular (compelling or prohibiting exchange between two subjects).
Refutation of Consumer Ignorance Argument:
Rothbard "pulverizes" the objection that ordinary consumers lack enough information to make intelligent purchases, arguing against the need for "experts" to guide them.
He highlights the "paradox of interventionists" who claim consumers are too ignorant to buy products but competent to vote for politicians they don't know on policies they scarcely understand.
Consumer Knowledge Through Direct Tests vs. Political Voting:
Consumers are described as having "direct tests" to acquire and check knowledge, such as trying a product and deciding whether to buy it again or relying on consumer research organizations.
In contrast, voting for politicians offers no "direct tests of success or failure," requiring complex praxeological reasoning that few voters have the ability or interest to follow.
Importance of Income Tax Level Over Progressivity:
MES emphasizes that the "level of income taxation is generally more important for the market than the degree of progressivity," a point often "underweigh[ed]" by conservative economists.
Rothbard argues that "the 'poor' do not 'rob the rich' under progressive taxation," but rather "it is the State that 'robs' both through taxation, whether proportional or progressive".
By Zork (the) Hun
Lack of Accountability for State Actors:
The author laments that "no state actor ever gets punished for crimes committed under the protective mantle of the state".
Examples like the MK-Ultra and Tuskegee experiments are cited as historical crimes for which "nobody ever has been investigated, tried or punished".
Systemic Protection of Prosecutors:
Prosecutors are noted to "enjoy absolute immunity from civil lawsuits for actions taken in their official prosecutorial duties".
Criminal charges against prosecutors are "rare due to high legal thresholds and institutional reluctance to prosecute prosecutors".
State's Self-Preservation and Legitimacy:
The primary reason for the lack of prosecution against state actors is the state's need to protect its own legitimacy, regardless of political affiliations or transgressions.
This "self-preservation instinct of the state cannot afford justice," as it must maintain the illusion of its infallibility and that the law is above itself.
Justice as a Political Tool:
Historical events like the Nuremberg trials are characterized as "not about justice" but as "a political statement and a strategic move to eliminate potential political opposition".
Similarly, the "lawfare against Donald Trump" is viewed as an "attempted political assassination" about power, not justice.
Perpetuation of Injustice:
The author states that "the gravest injustice is protecting injustice itself".
The system views any attack on its agents or institutions as an attack on the state itself, which would "weaken its legitimacy," prioritizing its reputation over accountability.

Here is a comprehensive response to your query, presented in a JotForm-like manner with enumerated key points, drawing solely on the provided sources:
Skepticism and "Denial" as a Lifelong Stance
The author identifies as a lifelong "denier," having recognized flaws in authority figures from a tender age.
A traumatic high school incident involving the author's brother on November 22, 1963 (the day of the JFK assassination) triggered skepticism about all authority.
Early experiences taught that questioning teachers or anyone in a position of power did not lead to popularity.
The author observed that popularity was "baked into the hierarchy" of the school system, with teachers favoring popular children.
These early impressions were reinforced while researching for the book Bullyocracy: How the Social Hierarchy Enables Bullies to Rule Schools, Workplaces, and Society at Large, leading the author to become an early "School Denier" and deny the value of "education".
The author developed various forms of "Denial" throughout their career, including Supervisor Denial, Management Denial, Director Denial, Administrator Denial, CEO Denial, Nurse Denial, Doctor Denial, and Hospital Denial.
The author also experienced "Million Dollar Agent Denial" in the real estate world, resenting the perceived pure luck and unfair advantages of top-selling agents.
A "chronic Management Denial" persisted, with the author finding few management types worth listening to and believing the "wrong people seem to be in charge all over the world," referring to them as "Experts in How Not to Get it Done".
The author objects to the labeling of opinions as "denial" to categorize them as a "mental illness," citing examples such as Holocaust Denial (where people have been imprisoned for disputing narratives), COVID Denial (which the author admits to), and Election Denial (applied specifically to the 2020 election).
The author also critiques the use of "absurd 'phobias'" like homophobia (which the author mostly sees as prejudice rather than fear) and transphobia (where the author expresses fear of "real mental illness be mainstreamed" and "Frankenstein chest scars" on girls).
Societal and Geopolitical Control Mechanisms
DARPA's Disease Outbreak Simulation:
The US Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) issued a Request for Information (RFI) for "Advanced Disease Outbreaks Simulation Capabilities" to gather insights on cutting-edge computer models.
DARPA is interested in models that can simulate intervention strategies like vaccination campaigns, social distancing, quarantine protocols, treatments, and public health communication strategies, as well as the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning in response strategies.
This RFI suggests that "unscientific and harmful interventions" deployed during the Covid "pandemic" (lockdowns, social distancing, mass vaccination campaigns) have become the "new normal" for future disease outbreaks, with AI and the military playing a bigger role.
DARPA also aims to optimize timelines for detection, identification, attribution, and response to outbreaks, including biosensor deployment.
Related DARPA programs, Kallisti and Methodological Advancements for Generalisable Insights into Complex Systems (MAGICS), aim to predict and influence collective human behavior. Kallisti specifically targets optimizing deterrence or incentivizing actions by "undefined adversaries," which could include those questioning official public health messaging.
Concerns are raised about governments and corporations using these technologies to control and manipulate public behavior during public health emergencies.
"Public health emergencies" are seen as becoming "more militaristically algorithmic by the day".
Palantir and Data Surveillance:
Palantir Technologies, co-founded by Peter Thiel, is a data company that helps governments and corporations make sense of data and offers control, shaping how institutions act. Its goal is to become an operating system for governments.
During the Covid pandemic, tech platforms, including impliedly those like Palantir, engaged in censorship, suppressed dissenting voices, and enforced policies that infringed upon religious and medical freedoms.
The New York Times raised alarm about President Trump tapping Palantir to compile and potentially merge data on Americans.
However, the author of "Fountains of Woke" suggests the New York Times is not worried about surveillance itself, but about accountability and the threat Palantir poses to bureaucratic inefficiencies.
Palantir's Foundry software aims to integrate and analyze disconnected federal data to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse. It acts as a data processor, not a collector, with agencies defining the rules and providing the data.
The concern lies in the potential misuse of better-organized data to profile dissenters, target political enemies, or "supercharge immigration enforcement".
Palantir's CEO, Alex Karp, has boasted about the company's software "single-handedly stopped the rise of the far-right in Europe".
Government Protection of Its Own:
A core argument states that no state actor is ever punished for crimes committed "under the protective mantle of the state".
Historical events like the MK-Ultra and Tuskegee experiments are cited as examples of unpunished crimes.
It is claimed that the CIA, FBI, and Big Pharma are also exempt from punishment for their crimes.
Prosecutorial immunity shields prosecutors from most civil lawsuits, and criminal charges are rare due to "institutional reluctance to prosecute prosecutors".
The state's self-preservation instinct means it "cannot afford justice," as it must maintain the illusion of its infallibility and legitimacy.
Events like the Nuremberg trials and "lawfare against Donald Trump" are described as being about politics and power, not justice.
Cultural and Demographic Transformations
China's Fertility Crisis:
China is no longer the most populous country, having been surpassed by India. Its population is shrinking as deaths now outnumber births due to an extremely low birthrate.
China's fertility rate is 1 child per woman, half the replacement level of 2 children per woman, meaning each generation is half the size of the previous one.
Current projections suggest China's population could crash to 500 million by the end of the century (from 1.4 billion), potentially reducing its economy to the size of Canada's.
The author argues that a shrinking, aging population will hinder innovation and lead to a collapsing economy.
The one-child policy, which ended in 2015, fundamentally altered expectations about family size and may have "broken the Chinese family". Despite government encouragement, Chinese births continue to drop.
China is a "middle-income" country (58th percentile globally), but its birthrate is "shockingly low" even for high-income countries.
In 2023, China had as few children as war-torn Ukraine, suggesting a deep-seated issue.
The argument that people "can't afford" children is deemed "absurd," as Chinese people had many children when they were 40 times poorer under Maoist Communism. Financial incentives to encourage childbearing have failed.
Predictions for a "rich China" suggest fertility rates could fall to 0.75 (slow extinction) or even 0.03 (practical 0, leading to extinction in one generation).
The author speculates that widespread childlessness is a result of individuals choosing not to have children when contraception makes it easier, rather than a modern pathology.
Chinese social conformity is noted, but efforts to increase births have failed, indicating limits to government control over personal choices.
Recent data shows marriage rates plummeted 20% from 2023 to 2024, accelerating the fertility catastrophe.
Feminism and Depopulation:
Feminism is described as a "depopulation program" used by the "Illuminati (Communists)" to attack society by convincing women to prioritize careers over marriage and family during their fertile years.
It is claimed that feminism psychologically sterilizes Western women by teaching them that love, marriage, and family are "oppressive".
The cultural measure of a woman's value in America is presented as sex appeal, leading to behaviors likened to strippers and prostitutes, and ultimately destroying marriage and family.
The "New World Order" (NWO) social engineers aim to undermine sexual identity, destroy the family, create social and personal dysfunction, and reduce the population, intending for women to be "autonomous sex objects" rather than mothers.
Parenthood is presented as the "pinnacle of human development," which the NWO does not want people to reach, promoting instead a state of being "single: stunted, sex-starved and self-obsessed".
Statistics are presented claiming 90% of women are on birth control, 1/3 have an STD, 1/3 have had an abortion, 95% are not virgins on their wedding night, and women initiate 70% of divorces.
Homosexuality is also described as a "depopulation psy op" promoted to destabilize society by destroying gender distinctions and the nuclear family.
The argument is made that the "homosexual revolution" was orchestrated through a campaign described as "brainwashing techniques" (desensitization, jamming, and conversion) to normalize what was once considered a "developmental disorder".
Resistance to "Woke" Ideologies:
Dr. Santa Ono, a "DEI darling," was denied the presidency of the University of Florida after he disavowed past statements and positions, leading to DEI being seen as a "fatal liability" rather than a "golden ticket" for academic posts.
Florida is portrayed as charting a new course of "less DEI, more clarity; less virtue-signaling, more consequence," becoming a "proving ground" where credentials and catechisms are tested.
A 16-year-old student, Christian McGhee, who was suspended for saying "illegal alien" during a vocabulary lesson, received a public apology and financial settlement, with the school board admitting their "racial bias" accusation was a "mischaracterization".
These events are highlighted as a sign that Americans are "fed up with the woke nonsense" and are entering "The Reckoning" where "truth is hate speech" is no longer tolerated.
International Conflicts and Covert Operations
Escalation to World War III:
The article "Sneaking, Not Slouching, Into World War III" argues that the state, driven by "ambition and hurriedness," is "sneaking toward global war," not reluctantly "slouching".
It claims that Ukraine attacked Russia's long-range nuclear-capable bombers deep inside Russia using deceptive commercial truckers, an act seen as mirroring Mossad's booby-trapped pager attack against Hezbollah.
The use of modern supply chains and commerce to conceal attacks is noted as uncommon but historical (e.g., Oklahoma City bombing, 9/11 attacks).
Such "ingenious" tactics are suggested to be the "desperate moves of a losing Empire" (the Western alliance led by the US against Russia).
The "COVID exercise" (lockdowns, state propaganda, mass-mandated injections) is described as corresponding to "Phase III software testing" for system efficiency.
It is argued that the continued wars in Israel and Ukraine could be stopped by eliminating Washington's massive logistics, intelligence sharing, weapons, cash, and political support.
There are claims that "Western nations" are pushing Russia into a nuclear response to cover up a planned "financial Armageddon" ("Great Reset" / "Great Taking").
All major global leaders (Putin, Trump, Zelensky, Satanyahu, Hezbollah, Iran, Hamas) are alleged to be Freemasons.
Specific Allegations of Deception and False Flags:
Michael Rockefeller's Death: It is claimed that Michael Rockefeller, son of Nelson Rockefeller, faked his death in 1961, and the official story of him being eaten by cannibals is "absurd". Evidence cited includes "obvious fake" photos, inconsistencies in his military background, and his photography skills, suggesting he was "tapped for covert ops".
Nelson Rockefeller's Death: It is also claimed that Nelson Rockefeller faked his death and used multiple doubles.
Tiananmen Square "Massacre": An eyewitness account is cited claiming "no one died that night in Tiananmen Square," labeling the narrative of a "slaughter of thousands" as a "myth" perpetuated by publications like The Diplomat.
October 7 Attacks: It is alleged that Israel was behind the attacks of October 7, 2023, and that Hamas was "run by Israeli Secret Intelligence, the Mossad," which supplied Hamas with billions. It is further claimed that the Israeli military "stood down" for 6 hours, and that "94 percent of the civilians were killed by the military to justify the genocide in Gaza". "Unknown traders" reportedly anticipated the attack.
Covid-19 "Bioweapon-Jab": The author suggests the mRNA vaccine can "shed" from vaccinated to unvaccinated individuals, violating bodily autonomy, and that materials seen in blood imply a "bio-digital convergence" meant to "reconfigure and alter the human body".
Bioterrorist Attack War-Game: A 2024 desktop exercise war-gamed a bioterrorist attack killing 280,000 Americans on July 4, 2025, raising the possibility of a "second Trump Lockdown".
Child Body Parts Trade: There are claims that the US FDA was buying baby skulls during the Obama administration for $515 per skull, and that these babies were "still alive when the organs are sold". This practice is linked to pushing abortions and questions about connections to "satanic rituals" or "secret societies".
Economic Philosophy and Government Intervention
Murray Rothbard's Man, Economy, and State (MES):
MES is considered one of the two greatest books on free-market economics of the twentieth century, alongside Ludwig von Mises's Human Action.
Mises praised MES as an "epochal contribution" that develops correct theory and refutes objections to free-market doctrines.
Rothbard demonstrates that unemployment occurs when the wage rate is not adjusted to clear the market (i.e., to the "discounted marginal value product" of labor).
Rothbard systematically classifies government interventions into three categories: autistic intervention (restricting individual's use of property alone), binary intervention (compelling exchange or gift), and triangular intervention (compelling or prohibiting exchange between two subjects).
Rothbard refutes the argument that consumers are too ignorant to make intelligent purchases, highlighting the paradox of interventionists who distrust consumers but trust them to vote for politicians. He argues consumers have "direct tests" for product satisfaction, unlike voters in politics who lack such tests for policy outcomes.
Rothbard argues that the level of income taxation is generally more important than its progressivity, as both proportional and progressive taxation are means by which the "State that 'robs' both" the poor and the rich.
Global Economic Shifts:
The article "America at a Crossroads" advocates drawing from Catholic social teaching and voices like E.F. Schumacher and Rick Santorum to shape AI development in a way that aligns with human dignity and the common good, warning against unchecked AI deepening economic disparities.
It suggests that "winning" the AI race should be measured by whether it strengthens human dignity, protects the vulnerable, and promotes the common good, informed by Catholic principles like subsidiarity and solidarity, and traditional values.
There are claims that the US is going into debt rapidly, and the world is refusing to finance this debt, with BRICS and Asian nations ditching the dollar.
Trump's tariffs are speculated to be an effort to repatriate the supply chain in preparation for war, as manufacturing no longer provides jobs due to AI and robotics.
Concerns are raised about Germany's "replacement migration," noting that 1 in 4 residents have migrant backgrounds and linking this to sharp increases in various crimes.
Canada is depicted as a "Rothschild Fiefdom," bound to a "Satanist Rothschild banking cartel," which is also alleged to control most politicians (who are Freemasons).
Moral and Cultural Decline in Western Society
The article "The Degradation and Destruction of Western Women" argues that Western women have been "psychologically sterilized" by feminism, leading to a decline in marriage and family structures.
A contrast is drawn between the "burka," representing a woman's consecration to her husband and family, modesty, and the importance of the domestic sphere, and the "bikini," representing public property, value based on sex appeal, and a loss of innocence.
It is asserted that feminism deceives women into believing femininity is "oppression," leading to confused and aggressive women "unfit to become a wife or mother".
Parenthood is described as the "pinnacle of human development," but the NWO aims to keep people "stunted, sex-starved and self-obsessed," dependent on consumer products, and single.
A Muslim woman commenter describes her transition to wearing a niqab (face covering) in America, finding it a "beautiful and liberating experience," providing "peace" and a role as a "queen" in her family. She views it as a "command of God Almighty" and criticizes modern Christianity for not following original commands.
The article argues that society is "satanically possessed" and "colonized by a satanic cult, Freemasonry (Jewish Cabalism)," which acts as a proxy for the "Cabalist Jewish central banking cartel".
It is claimed that "Organized Jewry and Freemasonry" are responsible for the current societal "mess".
Homosexuality is characterized as a "developmental disorder" that has been "mainstreamed" by "Satanism," which "pretends that sick is healthy and unnatural is natural". It is argued that the promotion of homosexuality by corporations is due to their control by banks.
The author of "Denying the Wild, Woke World" notes the phenomenon of "transphobia," expressing fear of seeing "real mental illness be mainstreamed" and images of "Frankenstein chest scars" on girls.
The piece "There Is No Justice for Its Miscarriage" concludes that Western civilization has become "wholly inadequate" for governance under its Constitution because it has ceased to be a "moral and religious people".
### **"Denying" the Wild, Woke World**
***By Donald Jeffries***
* **Lifelong Skepticism Towards Authority**: The author identifies as a "lifelong 'denier'," stating he recognized flaws in authority figures from a very young age. His skepticism about all authority was particularly ignited by a traumatic high school incident involving his brother and the perceived injustice system, which coincidentally happened on November 22, 1963, the same day as the JFK assassination.
* **Questioning Institutional Hierarchies**: The author's critical thinking extended to school systems, where he observed that popularity was "baked into the hierarchy" and teachers "fawned over the most popular kids". This led him to become an "early School Denier," contributing to his decision not to apply to a four-year college and to "deny the value of 'education'".
* **Widespread "Denial" Across Professions and Management**: His skepticism evolved into various forms of "denial" in his blue-collar job, including "Supervisor Denial," "Management Denial," "Director Denial," and "Administrator Denial," as he found "very few management types that were worth listening to". He also developed "Nurse Denial" and "Doctor Denial," eventually leading to "Hospital Denial," perceiving hospitals as prisons where patients are inmates.
* **Critique of Labeling Opinions as "Denial"**: The author is troubled by the trend of labeling a particular opinion as "denial" to categorize it as a "mental illness," citing "Holocaust Denial" as its origin. He points to "COVID Denial" and "Election Denial" as more recent examples, noting that such "denial" seems to apply only to specific, officially sanctioned narratives.
* **Skepticism Towards "Phobia" Labels**: While he expresses prejudice against homosexuals in terms of not wanting to be friends, he questions the term "homophobia" as it means fear, a sentiment he claims many men do not experience. However, he does admit to a "fear" in the context of "transphobia," specifically being "scared of seeing this kind of real mental illness be mainstreamed" and seeing photos of girls with "Frankenstein chest scars".
### **America at a Crossroads: Balancing Faith, Reason, and Artificial Intelligence**
***By Mark Henry (Crisis Magazine)***
* **Significance of Pope Leo XIV's Election**: The election of Cardinal Robert Prevost as Pope Leo XIV is considered a historic and providential moment for American Catholics, as he is the first American to ascend the Chair of St. Peter. His chosen name honors Pope Leo XIII, whose encyclical *Rerum Novarum* addressed social crises of the Industrial Revolution, signaling Pope Leo XIV's intent to provide "moral clarity" in a world facing new ideological challenges.
* **AI as a Transformative Challenge to Human Dignity**: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is viewed as a "seismic transformation" akin to the Industrial Revolution, posing new challenges to human dignity, justice, and labor. Pope Leo XIV's address highlighted these concerns, indicating the Church's preparedness to address the moral implications of AI.
* **Concerns About Elite Control Over AI**: There is apprehension that leaving AI's future solely to powerful Silicon Valley figures—such as Tim Cook, Sergey Brin, and Mark Zuckerberg—without the "grounding wisdom of faith, reason, and Church teaching," risks repeating past mistakes on an unprecedented scale. These tech platforms are noted for promoting ideologies at odds with Catholic social teaching and for engaging in censorship during the Covid pandemic.
* **Shaping AI Development Through Traditional Values**: The renewed influence of faithful Catholics in American public life, bolstered by President Trump and Catholic Vice President J.D. Vance, is seen as a providential opportunity to shape AI development in alignment with the Church's vision for human dignity and the common good. This approach is supported by voices like E.F. Schumacher and Rick Santorum, who advocate for human-centered economies and protection of workers and families.
* **Redefining Success in the AI Race**: The article argues that "winning" the AI race, as emphasized by President Trump, should not be solely defined by economic or military advantage, but rather by whether AI "strengthens human dignity, protects the vulnerable, and promotes the common good". This requires regulatory frameworks informed by Catholic principles like subsidiarity and solidarity, along with traditional values of faith, family, and freedom.
### **China’s Fertility Catastrophe**
***By Eugene Kusmiak***
* **China's Rapid Population Decline**: China, once the world's most populous nation, is now experiencing a population implosion with deaths outnumbering births due to an "extremely low birthrate". Its fertility rate is 1 child per woman, which is half the replacement level, indicating that each generation is only half the size of the previous one.
* **Dire Future Economic and Demographic Projections**: Current projections suggest China's population could crash to 500 million by the end of the century, potentially reducing its economy to the size of Canada, indicating a "collapsing economy" rather than mere contraction. The author notes that unlike other aging countries like Japan, China is getting "old before it got rich".
* **Unusual Fertility Rate for a Middle-Income Country**: China stands out as a "major exception" to the general rule that richer countries have lower birthrates, as it is a middle-income country with a fertility rate "shockingly low even in a high-income country". In 2023, China had a fertility rate as low as war-ravaged Ukraine, which should prompt "introspection".
* **Irreversible Age Imbalance from One-Child Policy**: The "insane past policy" of one-child per family for 35 years has fundamentally altered people's expectations and created an age imbalance where most of the population is already over 40, making a recovery from the ongoing decline biologically impossible. Despite government efforts to encourage childbearing since the policy ended in 2015, Chinese births continue to drop.
* **Rejection of "Affordability" as a Reason for Low Birthrate**: The common claim that people "can't afford to have children" is dismissed as "absurd," especially in China where people were "40 times poorer" under Maoist Communism but had many children. Financial incentives provided by the Chinese government to boost birthrates have "failed miserably".
* **Chinese People's Preference for Fewer Children**: The author speculates that Chinese people, and Asians generally, may have a lower inherent desire for children, a preference that is now expressed due to the availability of birth control. He notes that even with high social conformity, the government has failed to persuade people to marry and have more children.
* **Accelerating Decline Evident in Marriage Rates**: Recent data shows that marriages in China plummeted by a record 20% from 2023 to 2024, which will inevitably lead to plunging birthrates as "almost no births out of wedlock in China". This accelerating decline is predicted to "ruin" the Chinese government's political and economic ambitions.
### **DARPA’s request for information on computer modelling of disease outbreaks indicates the harmful covid response is the new normal**
***By Rhoda Wilson***
* **DARPA's Focus on Disease Outbreak Simulation**: The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is actively seeking advanced computer models to simulate disease outbreaks, indicating a proactive approach to future public health emergencies. These models are specifically designed to evaluate "intervention strategies, including vaccination campaigns, social distancing and quarantine protocols," and the use of AI and machine learning.
* **Covid Interventions as the "New Normal"**: The author asserts that the "unscientific and harmful interventions" implemented during the Covid "pandemic" are now becoming the standard response for future disease outbreaks. This suggests a continuation of measures such as lockdowns, social distancing, and mass vaccination campaigns.
* **Increased Role of AI and Military in Public Health**: The RFI implies that Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the military will play a significantly larger role in the next generation of disease outbreak response strategies. The integration of these elements points towards a "militaristic algorithmic approach to public health emergency response".
* **Concerns About Behavioral Prediction and Manipulation**: The RFI, alongside other DARPA programs like Kallisti and MAGICS, raises concerns about the potential for governments and corporations to "predict and influence collective human behaviour". This capability could be used to develop "targeted messaging strategies to promote compliance with public health measures".
### **From mind uploading to selling babies’ skulls, I’m clearing out my to-do list that I haven’t had a chance to look into. But before I do, here they are**
***By Rhoda Wilson***
* **Transhumanist Aspirations for Immortality**: The article discusses the concept of "mind uploading," a transhumanist belief aimed at achieving human immortality by transferring consciousness into a computer. While deemed theoretically possible, it presents "extraordinarily difficult" challenges and is predicted to be a reality only in 100-200 years or more.
* **Palantir's Influence on Governments and Data Control**: Palantir Technologies, co-founded by Peter Thiel, is presented as a data company aiming to become an "operating system for governments," helping them and corporations process data. The company's platforms "offer control and are shaping how institutions act," with its advisory board including figures linked to centralizing authority and eroding public trust.
* **Government Censorship and Surveillance Mechanisms**: The article highlights the strict censorship and surveillance efforts of regimes like North Korea, revealed through a modified smartphone that automatically screenshots and edits texts. Such technology demonstrates Kim Jong-un's control and the severe punishments for citizens accessing or sharing unauthorized information.
* **UK's Energy Crisis and Deindustrialization Risk**: The UK's Net Zero strategy, aiming to ban gas boilers and install heat pumps, is deemed "not feasible" due to insufficient electricity supply and high costs associated with intermittent renewables and hydrogen storage. This policy is contributing to the UK having the "highest industrial electricity prices in Europe," posing an "existential threat" and leading to potential deindustrialization.
* **Critique of World Health Organization (WHO)**: The WHO is accused of "failing upward," with its Director-General spreading misinformation during the Covid "pandemic" and its actions causing "lasting damage". Despite these criticisms, the WHO is reportedly being rewarded with a new pandemic treaty to strengthen its global health cooperation framework, influenced by "corporate medicine and political agendas".
* **Immigration's Impact on Housing Crises**: Mass immigration in countries like Canada and Australia is linked to a "perpetual housing crisis," suggesting it is a deliberate strategy. In Canada, a significant influx of 817,000 immigrants in the first four months of 2025 is exacerbating the housing supply strain, despite substantial government spending on the issue.
* **Allegations of Illicit Trade in Baby Parts**: The article reports on a "disgusting practice" involving the sale of babies and baby parts, citing allegations that the US FDA bought baby skulls for $515 during the Obama administration. It also raises concerns that babies are "still alive when the organs are sold," and questions potential connections to "satanic rituals" or "secret societies".
### **Sneaking, Not Slouching, Into World War III**
***By Karen Kwiatkowski***
* **State's Intentional Drive Towards Totalitarianism and War**: The author argues that states pursue "totalitarianism and its mass rape of communities and continents" with "ambition and hurriedness," not by "slouching". Unlike free societies, state economies rely on "war and fear of war" to drive populations into controlled systems.
* **Gaza as a Deliberate Extermination Policy**: The situation in Gaza is presented as a "brutal trend unchanged since 1948," where communities are "intentionally starved, impoverished, and injured" and herded into smaller pens for "inevitable slaughter". This is explicitly stated as "policy," not experimental, and benefits the "US kakistocracy".
* **Modern Warfare Uses Deception and Commercial Infrastructure**: Recent attacks, such as Ukraine's use of commercial truckers to attack Russian strategic bombers and Mossad's booby-trapped pager attack, exemplify warfare tactics leveraging modern supply chains and interconnected commerce. This includes the engineering of terrorist attacks using commercial assets, as seen in the Oklahoma City bombing and 9/11 attacks.
* **Consequences of "Booby Trapping" Tactics**: While such deceptive tactics may appear "ingenious," they are often "desperate moves of a losing Empire". Once exposed and celebrated, these "booby traps" lead to "vengeful blowback" and make the perpetrator more vulnerable, as the "enemy" becomes wiser.
* **COVID Exercise as a Test of Control Systems**: The "COVID exercise," with its economic and educational lockdowns, "state agitprop," and "mass-mandated injections," is analyzed as "Phase III software testing" to determine the "overall efficiency of the units as they run together". This suggests it was a test of societal control systems operating as a complete system, revealing a conflict where populations desire peace but ruling parties desire war.
* **Fear of False Flags on American Soil**: The Ukrainian attack on Russian airfields raised alarm among some in the USAF not about World War III, but about their own vulnerability to similar attacks, including "false flags planned and conducted on American soil, against Americans, to push the state agenda forward". The author implies that continued wars serve the state's agenda of moving towards "global war" or "limited nuclear exchange".
### **Societal Deception and Global Control**
***By Henry Makow PhD***
* **Feminism as a Depopulation and Societal Destabilization Program**: The author contends that feminism, allegedly used by the Illuminati (Communists), attacks society's weakest point—women—by convincing them to prioritize careers over "marriage and family" during their most fertile years, leading to "psychological sterilization" and the destruction of the nuclear family. This is portrayed as a goal of "NWO social engineers" to undermine sexual identity and reduce the population.
* **Critique of Western Femininity vs. Traditional Gender Roles**: The article contrasts Western women, whose value is based on depreciating sex appeal and who are described as "public property" acting like "strippers and prostitutes," with Muslim women who represent "consecration to her husband and family" and the "modesty and dignity" of the domestic sphere. It argues that feminism creates "confused and aggressive" women "unfit to become a wife or mother".
* **Pornography as a Tool to Suppress Parenthood**: Parenthood is described as the "pinnacle of human development," but the "New World Order" seeks to prevent individuals from reaching this maturity. Pornography is presented as a "substitute for marriage," designed to keep people "single: stunted, sex-starved and self-obsessed," thus preventing them from creating and nurturing new life.
* **Global Events Driven by "Satanist" Banking Cartel**: The author posits that society is controlled by a "satanic cult, Freemasonry (Jewish Cabalism)," which acts as a proxy for the "Cabalist Jewish central banking cartel" that governs society through credit. This alleged control extends to politicians and celebrities, leading to a "veiled Masonic tyranny".
* **Homosexuality as a "Depopulation Psy Op"**: The promotion of homosexuality, particularly during "Gay Pride" month, is explicitly called a "depopulation & destabilization" program intended to "destroy gender distinctions and the nuclear family". The author argues that homosexuality was recognized as a "developmental disorder" until 1975, and its mainstreaming is "satanic," promoting the idea that "sick is healthy and unnatural is natural".
* **Orchestrated "Homosexual Revolution" and Media Manipulation**: The "homosexual revolution" is described as a deliberate, orchestrated plan to "make the whole world gay," detailed in Dennis Altman's *The Homosexualization of America*. This involved co-opting the American Psychiatric Association to redefine homosexuality as "not a disorder" through "political manoeuvres, lies and outright flim-flams".
* **"Homophobia" as an Invented Label for Brainwashing**: Gay activists are accused of using "brainwashing techniques" like desensitization, jamming, and conversion, as outlined in *After the Ball*, to normalize homosexuality. The term "homophobia" was allegedly "invented by gays projecting their own fear on society" to silence those who object to their agenda by labeling them as "bigots".
* **Conspiracy Theories on Geopolitical Conflicts**: The source alleges that "Western nations are pushing Russia into a nuclear response to cover up planned financial Armageddon" and that "Western leaders are already on the verge of currency collapse and a collapsing debt market". It also claims "Israel was behind the attacks of October 7" and that Hamas is run by Israeli Secret Intelligence, with "94 percent of the civilians were killed by the military to justify the genocide in Gaza".
### **The Greatness of Man, Economy, and State**
***By Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.***
* **Praise for Murray Rothbard's Economic Contributions**: Murray Rothbard’s *Man, Economy, and State* (MES) is lauded as one of the two greatest books on free market economics of the twentieth century, alongside Ludwig von Mises’s *Human Action*. Mises himself described MES as making an "epochal" contribution to economics and praxeology, highlighting its theoretical innovations and refutations of opposing doctrines.
* **Systematic Classification of Government Intervention**: A key strength of MES is Rothbard’s comprehensive classification of all possible types of government interference with the free market, demonstrating what is wrong with them. He categorizes interventions into "autistic" (restricting individual property use), "binary" (coercing exchange or gifts), and "triangular" (compelling or prohibiting exchange between subjects), all of which establish a "hegemonic relation" rather than a voluntary contractual one.
* **Consumer Competence Versus Political Decision-Making**: Rothbard refutes the argument that consumers are too ignorant to make intelligent purchasing decisions, pointing out the paradox that those who claim consumers are incompetent also advocate for democracy where the same individuals vote on complex political matters. Consumers have "direct tests of results" for products (e.g., whether a product works well), which is absent in political voting, where understanding "complex chains of praxeological reasoning" is required.
* **Level of Taxation Over Progressivity**: MES emphasizes that the *level* of income taxation is generally more significant and destructive to the market than its *degree of progressivity*. Rothbard demonstrates that both rich and poor producers might prefer a steeply progressive tax over a proportional one if the overall tax burden is lower, concluding that "it is the State that ‘robs’ both through taxation, whether proportional or progressive".
### **There Is No Justice for Its Miscarriage**
***By Zork (the) Hun***
* **Lack of Accountability for State Actors**: The central theme is that "no state actor ever gets punished for crimes committed under the protective mantle of the state". Historical examples cited include the lack of accountability for MK-Ultra and the Tuskegee experiment, whose crimes are considered "safely in the history books" without investigation or punishment.
* **Immunity and Reluctance to Prosecute Prosecutors**: Prosecutors enjoy "absolute immunity from civil lawsuits" for actions taken in their official duties, and criminal charges against them are "rare due to high legal thresholds and institutional reluctance to prosecute prosecutors". The most severe punishment found for prosecutorial misconduct was only "ten days in jail, only five served," while taxpayers are often left paying millions in damages for wrongful convictions.
* **"Justice" as a Political Tool**: The author asserts that many perceived acts of justice, such as the Nuremberg trials or calls to bring Putin or Netanyahu to the ICJ, are actually "political statement[s]" and "strategic move[s]" rather than genuine pursuit of justice. The "lawfare against Donald Trump" is cited as an example of "attempted political assassination" driven by power, not justice.
* **State's Self-Preservation Overrides Justice**: The state's inherent "self-preservation instinct cannot afford justice" because it must "maintain the illusion of its infallibility" and legitimacy. Any perceived attack on state agents or institutions is seen as an attack on the state itself, necessitating the protection of injustice to prevent weakening its legitimacy.
* **Erosion of Western Moral Foundations**: Drawing on John Adams' quote that the U.S. Constitution is "wholly inadequate" for a people lacking morality and religion, the author concludes that "the whole Western civilization became that ‘any other’". This suggests a decline in the moral and religious character necessary for the Western system of governance to function justly.

### **Michael Rockefeller Faked his Death**
***By Miles Mathis***
* **Claim of Michael Rockefeller's Faked Death**: The author asserts that Michael Rockefeller, son of Nelson Rockefeller, did not die as commonly believed (eaten by cannibals) but instead "faked his death". The entire official narrative surrounding his disappearance, including the details about the overturned boat and the native guides, is deemed "absurd".
* **Photographic Evidence as "Fakes"**: The author claims that photos presented as evidence of Michael Rockefeller with the Asmat Natives are "very obvious fake[s]," pointing out issues such as incorrect shadows, disproportionate sizes of background figures, and glitches indicating a pasted image. A photo allegedly showing Rockefeller in a pontoon boat, said to be his last known picture, is also dismissed as a "ridiculous fake" due to a poorly pasted face.
* **Concealed Identity for Covert Operations**: The author speculates that Rockefeller, a Harvard graduate, was falsely presented as an Army private specializing in photography, a detail that provided a reason for his constant camera use. This is suggested as a cover story because he "had been tapped for covert ops," and his glasses might have served as a "disguise" to make him unrecognizable after faking his death.
* **Link to Nelson Rockefeller's Alleged Faked Death**: The article draws a connection between Michael's faked death and the author's previous claim that his father, Nelson Rockefeller, also faked his death and used doubles, possibly in the same year (1961) as Michael's disappearance. This raises the possibility that both lived "a double existence" in some "CIA existence underground".
### **☕️ FOUNTAINS OF WOKE ☙ Wednesday, June 4, 2025 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠**
***By Jeff Childers***
* **Rejection of "Woke" Ideology in Florida Academia**: The author reports a "crushing defeat" for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in Florida academia with the unprecedented rejection of Dr. Santa Ono as president of the University of Florida. This signals that DEI, once a "golden ticket" for elite academic posts, has become a "fatal liability" in the state.
* **Dr. Ono's Public Retractions and Memory Issues**: During his contentious Board of Governors hearing, Dr. Santa Ono "disavowed nearly every statement, program, and position he’d previously endorsed," blaming them on "other people" or "old data". He repeatedly claimed he "couldn’t recall" the context of his own public statements or core values, leading to questions about his "cognitive screening" or "jab-induced, early-onset dementia".
* **Critique of Media's COVID Variant Reporting**: The article criticizes the media for "trotting out stupid new scarient" (NB.1.8.1) and creating "El Dorado of Hysteria" around new Covid jab approvals and the emergence of a new strain. This "breathless, front-page treatment" of a mild variant is contrasted with the "flat, underplayed reporting on real public health crises" like rising cancer rates and heart attack deaths.
* **Palantir's Role in Government Efficiency vs. Surveillance Concerns**: The author addresses media "panic" about Trump allegedly using Palantir to compile data on Americans, clarifying that Palantir’s "Foundry" platform aims to integrate and analyze federal data to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse within agencies. While he notes that better-organized data could theoretically be "misused" to "profile dissenters" or "target political enemies," he argues the *New York Times* is more concerned about "accountability" than privacy.
* **Victory Against "Speech Police" in Schools**: A North Carolina high school student, Christian McGhee, was suspended for using the term "illegal alien" during a vocabulary lesson but won a settlement including a public apology and a clean record. The school board admitted their "racial bias" accusation was a "mischaracterization," affirming that the term is "factually accurate and legally defined".
* **Public Dissatisfaction with "Woke Nonsense"**: The author concludes that cases like Dr. Santa Ono's rejection and the North Carolina school board's defeat indicate that Americans are "fed up with the woke nonsense". This sentiment is termed "The Reckoning," signifying public resistance to institutions that "rewrite the dictionary and gaslight witnesses
