Here are the key takeaways from each source:

Are We Smarter Than Our Ancestors? By Mark Oshinskie

1. The article compares the public's reaction to Orson Welles' 1938 War of the Worlds radio broadcast to the response to the 2020 "Corona scam".
   
   

   • Mrs. Kasper reminded us, as had the mail order catalog and urban legend tellers, that, despite the show’s implausibility, many people believed that Martians were invading and consequently, freaked out.

   • Some of the same classmates who mocked those who freaked out in 1938 about a phony alien invasion—and who had four-year, and even graduate, degrees from “good” colleges—fervently bought the 2020 Corona scam.

2. The extent of the panic purportedly caused by the War of the Worlds broadcast was exaggerated, especially by newspapers seeking to discredit the medium of radio.
   
   

   • Those who’ve studied the War of the Worlds reaction have concluded that the extent of the purported panic was exaggerated, especially by newspapers seeking to discredit the medium of radio, with which they were competing for audience and thus, advertising revenue.

   • One historian reported that only 6 million Americans heard the program.

3. The author questions the widespread belief in the 2020 "Corona scam," drawing a parallel to the implausibility of a Martian invasion.
   
   

   • If supersmart aliens wanted to invade us, why hadn’t they done so before 1938?.

   • Analogously, after millennia, why would a super-killer respiratory virus suddenly emerge in 2020?.

4. The "Coronamania" involved a significantly larger segment of the population believing government and media narratives compared to the 1938 War of the Worlds panic.
   
   

   • The chief difference between War of the Worlds panic and Coronamania is that, in the latter instance, believing government and media lies, hundreds of millions—not hundreds of thousands, as in 1938—did buy the viral Scam and demanded that everyone else do so.

   • Team Covid Panic had hundreds of millions more members than did the Martian Phobes.

5. The article criticizes a modern societal "delusional conceit" about continuous human improvement and sophistication, pointing to various "intensive human interventions" that have been net negatives.
   
   

   • Most contemporary people share a delusional conceit about how sophisticated they are compared to those in prior generations.

   • All of the above, modern practices have caused and will continue to cause major economic, social and psychological dislocation.

6. Many people who supported the Covid-era measures are unwilling to admit they were duped, often due to ego protection or perceived opportunities.
   
   

   • To protect their egos, many with whom I’ve spoken and social media commenters are sticking to their untenable narrative that a virus killed over a million otherwise healthy Americans and that the NPIs and shots saved millions of lives.

   • Additionally, as during Coronamania, some will always, during social and economic disruptions, see profits and other opportunities therein and thus, endorse various interventions or products, not caring that these will harm others.

7. The author argues for the importance of continuing to expose the "viral lies" and "liars" to help people understand the consequences of the Covid response and reject future attempts to induce hysteria by government and media.
   
   

   • Nonetheless, to enable more people to understand what happened, we must continue to call out the many viral lies and the liars who tell them.

   • We can also hope that, as War of the Worlds and Mrs. Kasper alerted us to peoples’ susceptibility to media-driven scams, more people will reject future government and media attempts to induce hysteria.

DARPA’s request for information on computer modelling of disease outbreaks indicates the harmful covid response is the new normal By Rhoda Wilson

1. The US Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) seeking insights on cutting-edge computer models for simulating disease outbreaks.
   
   

   • DARPA has issued a Request for Information to gather insights on cutting-edge disease outbreak simulation computer models.

   • The US Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (“DARPA”) issued a Request for Information (“RFI”) titled ‘Advanced Disease Outbreaks Simulation Capabilities’.

2. DARPA is particularly interested in models capable of simulating various intervention strategies, including vaccination campaigns, social distancing, and quarantine protocols, as well as the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning.
   
   

   • DARPA is interested in models that are capable of modelling intervention strategies, including vaccination campaigns, social distancing and quarantine protocols, as well as the use of artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine learning in disease outbreak response strategies.

   • As the RFI questions imply, DARPA is interested in modelling a range of intervention strategies, including vaccination campaigns, social distancing measures, quarantine protocols, treatments and public health communication strategies, as well as the ability to model early intervention and its impact on outbreak trajectory.

3. The article suggests that the "unscientific and harmful interventions" employed during the Covid "pandemic" are becoming the new standard for future disease outbreaks, with AI and the military expected to play a larger role.
   
   

   • It seems the unscientific and harmful interventions deployed in response to the covid “pandemic” have become the new normal as far as disease outbreaks are concerned.

   • And AI and the military are going to play a bigger role next time around.

4. DARPA's stated objective for the RFI is to enhance the understanding of outbreak dynamics, improve future public health emergency preparedness, and optimize response strategies against both natural and man-made infectious agents.
   
   

   • This RFI aims to gather insights from the research and development community on cutting-edge outbreak modelling tools to enhance understanding of outbreak dynamics and improve future public health emergency preparedness.

   • The emergence of natural or a man-made infectious agents pose a significant threat to the homeland and to deployed warfighters globally.

5. New DARPA programs, such as Kallisti and MAGICS, are designed to create algorithmic models to predict and influence collective human behavior, raising concerns about potential government and corporate control during public health emergencies.
   
   

   • Recently launched DARPA programmes, such as Kallisti (December 2024) and Methodological Advancements for Generalisable Insights into Complex Systems (“MAGICS”) (April 2025), aim to create algorithmic models to predict and influence collective human behaviour.

   • The development of these programs and technologies has sparked concerns about governments and corporations using them to control and manipulate public behaviour, particularly in the context of public health emergencies, where measures such as lockdowns and vaccination strategies may be implemented.

DOGE Disappointment, Keynesian Degeneracy, and Cutting Off Harvard By Tho Bishop, Connor O'Keeffe, and Ryan McMaken

1. The article introduces a podcast discussion on the political legacy of Elon Musk, the perceived moral costs of Keynesian economics, and the notion of elite institutions like Harvard and NPR as public goods.
   
   

   • The political legacy of Elon Musk, the moral costs of Keynesianism, and the absurdity of Harvard and NPR as public goods.

   • This week, Ryan McMaken, Tho Bishop, and Connor O’Keeffe discuss the Department of Government Efficiency letdown, dissect the ongoing degeneracy of Keynesian economics, and explore the rising movement to defund elite universities like Harvard.

2. The podcast explores the rising movement to defund elite universities, specifically mentioning Harvard.
   
   

   • This week, Ryan McMaken, Tho Bishop, and Connor O’Keeffe discuss the Department of Government Efficiency letdown, dissect the ongoing degeneracy of Keynesian economics, and explore the rising movement to defund elite universities like Harvard.

   • What’s next for higher education?.

3. A central question posed by the podcast is whether "the establishment" has "overplayed its hand".
   
   

   • Has the establishment finally overplayed its hand?.

   • What’s next for higher education?.

4. The content is presented as a weekly news recap from the Mises Institute’s editorial team.
   
   

   • Welcome back to the Power & Market Podcast, a weekly news recap from the Mises Institute’s editorial team.

   • This week, Ryan McMaken, Tho Bishop, and Connor O’Keeffe discuss the Department of Government Efficiency letdown, dissect the ongoing degeneracy of Keynesian economics, and explore the rising movement to defund elite universities like Harvard.

EN — LARRY ROMANOFF: Jews are Silencing the World By Larry Romanoff

1. The Trump administration has enacted new restrictions on foreign students and visitors, requiring them to submit mobile phones and social media accounts for vetting by the US State Department to identify "anti-Semitic" comments.
   
   

   • Every visa applicant must present their mobile phones and computers to the respective US Consulate and open their social media accounts so that the Jews in the us State Department can see if anyone has ever made any comments on social media that could be construed as “anti-Semitic”.

   • Anyone who has ever said anything online against the Jews or Israel, (or who has been pro-Palestine) will not be permitted to enter the US.

2. These new policies extend to denying entry, deporting, and even denying citizenship to individuals who criticize Jews or Israel, or support Palestine, potentially including American citizens.
   
   

   • If you are already in the US, you will be deported, and Trump is now saying this could happen even if you are an American citizen.

   • Criticism of Israel, a foreign nation, now makes you ineligible for U.S. citizenship.

3. The US State Department ordered "additional vetting" for all nonimmigrant visa applicants, including a comprehensive screening of their online presence, specifically to identify "anti-Semitic harassment".
   
   

   • The US State Department ordered all US embassies and consulates worldwide to “immediately begin additional vetting” for anyone seeking a visa to travel to Harvard University for “any purpose.”.

   • The “additional vetting” comprises “a complete screening of the online presence” of the applicants … to identify possible inadmissibilities.

4. High-profile cases are cited where students were seized and targeted for deportation simply for criticizing Israeli policy or its actions in Gaza.
   
   

   • A 30-year-old Tufts doctoral student and Fulbright Scholar from Turkey was walking across her Boston-area neighborhood on the way to a holiday dinner at a friend’s house when she was suddenly seized and abducted in the early evening by six masked federal agents of the Department of Homeland Security.

   • High school valedictorian Yunseo Chung had moved to the U.S. with her family from South Korea when she was 7, but her permanent residency was suddenly revoked for her public criticism of Israeli policy.

5. The author claims that the removal of leaders at Harvard’s Middle Eastern Studies Center and similar actions at other major US universities are intended to ensure that only a "Jewish version" of Middle Eastern history and current affairs is taught.
   
   

   • At the same time, the heads of Harvard University’s Middle Eastern Studies Center were fired, to ensure that any further “education” at Harvard about the Middle East would contain only the Jewish version of history and current affairs.

   • Columbia and other major US universities are in the same position – any Middle Eastern Studies in the US must represent only the preferred Jewish narrative, or be closed down.

6. The article accuses "Jewish-owned mass media" of consistently conducting "hate campaigns" against numerous countries and peoples, while simultaneously suppressing any criticism against Jews or Israel.
   
   

   • For the past 20 years, the Jewish-owned mass media have been conducting hate campaigns against a large number of countries and peoples they wanted to destroy, using the US military as their enforcer.

   • At the start of World War II, the Jews in England conducted in their media what they called “an anger campaign” against Germany, boasting afterward that the hatred of Germany and Germans had increased from about 6% to over 50%.

7. The author introduces the adage, "To determine the true rulers of any society, all you must do is ask yourself this question: Who is it that I am not permitted to criticize?", implying that it points to Jewish influence.
   
   

   • To determine the true rulers of any society, all you must do is ask yourself this question: Who is it that I am not permitted to criticize?.

   • But if I stand on that same street and shout that “Jews are spying, money-grubbing thieves and savage, war-mongering SOBs” , I might spend the rest of my life in prison.

8. The article concludes with a warning that these "threats, extortion, and intimidation" will enforce "self-silencing" and that American citizens may realize who their "true masters" are when it is "too late".
   
   

   • It is now true, as I wrote above, that everyone will have to “self-silence” or be deported.

   • There is cause for great concern that by the time the citizens of the US (and Italy, and France, and Germany, and Canada, and Japan, and Romania, and …) finally wake up and realise who are their true masters, it will be too late.

Republicans Reveal Their True Nature By Laurence M. Vance

1. The author critiques Republicans for their inconsistency regarding fiscal conservatism, specifically concerning federal funding for the Kennedy Center, which is constitutionally unauthorized.
   
   

   • Since the Constitution nowhere authorizes the federal government to have a cultural center or support the arts, the Kennedy Center should be a strictly private venture.

   • Trump then backed a $257 million federal funding package for the Kennedy Center, which is more than six times its usual annual support.

2. Donald Trump, after criticizing the Kennedy Center's programming and appointing his own board members, paradoxically supported a substantial increase in its federal funding.
   
   

   • After Donald Trump was elected president, he criticized the Kennedy Center for its drag and LGBTQ programming.

   • He fired members of the board of trustees, including the president, Deborah Rutter, because they “do not share our Vision for a Golden Age in Arts and Culture,” and named his own board members, who elected Trump as the new chairman.

3. This Republican support for increased funding directly contradicts their stated party platform and promises to slash wasteful government spending.
   
   

   • Republicans spent much of the Biden years castigating the president and congressional Democrats for their out-of-control spending.

   • They promised in their 2024 party platform that they would “immediately stabilize the Economy by slashing wasteful Government spending”.

4. The author concludes that Republicans are more interested in controlling government agencies and programs than in eliminating them, typically only advocating for budget cuts when they disagree with a program's actions.
   
   

   • Republicans are more interested in controlling government agencies and programs than in eliminating them.

   • It is only when some government agency or program does something that Republicans disagree with that they ever talk about cutting its budget or eliminating it.

5. The author asserts that the only "limited government" desired by Republicans is one that is under their control.
   
   

   • The only limited government wanted by Republicans is a government limited to control by Republicans.

   • This shows hard-working, tax-paying, middle-class Americans the true nature of Republicans.

The Deep State’s Drone Attack Was Aimed To Escalate the Ukraine War and Deny Trump His Nobel Peace Prize By David Stockman

1. The author alleges that a recent drone attack on Russia's strategic nuclear deterrent was a "Deep State" operation, supported by US covert actions, designed to sabotage President Trump and escalate the Ukraine war.
   
   

   • We are referring, of course, to Sunday’s utterly reckless attack on Russia’s strategic nuclear deterrent, allegedly by the Ukrainian military.

   • Therefore, we are strongly inclined to believe that the Deep State is once again sabotaging the Donald while keeping him in the dark about crucial operations that bear heavily on the risk of escalation and war with Russia.

2. The drone attacks on Russian bomber airfields are described as a "drastic escalation" towards nuclear confrontation, which broke the rules of strategic deterrence and arms control agreements like New Start.
   
   

   • So it needs be understood that what is reported to be the destruction or serious impairment of between 20 and 40 of Russia’s heavy intercontinental strategic bombers at at least four different Russian bases thousands of miles from both Ukraine’s borders and from each other constitutes a drastic escalation of the proxy war on Russia, veering toward the precipice of nuclear confrontation.

   • To wit, the attack broke the rules of the strategic deterrence game and what remains of the 2010 New Start arms control agreements that nominally remains in effect through February 2026.

3. The author claims that the US possessed detailed knowledge of Russia's strategic bombers due to the New Start inspection regime, implying complicity in the "wanton attack" on these known locations.
   
   

   • Among the latter [heavy bombers] was 40-50 Tu-95MS bombers and @15 Tu-160 bombers of the type that were destroyed in Sunday’s attack and about which the US has abundant detailed knowledge.

   • So to repeat: the wanton attack on the known locations and regularly inspected strategic bombers in Russia’s nuclear deterrent like those depicted here was a radical breach of the whole arms control regime itself.

4. The primary purpose of the drone attack is asserted to be the destruction of trust between Trump and Putin, thereby forcing Putin to retaliate and prolonging Washington's "proxy war" on Russia.
   
   

   • Instead, it amounted to an order of magnitude escalation toward nuclear confrontation designed to prolong and intensify Washington’s proxy war on Russia and throw immense new roadblocks in the path of a negotiated peace agreement.

   • The real purpose of the attack was to destroy any vestige of trust that remains between the Donald and Putin, and leave the latter with no choice except to retaliate in kind.

5. The author urges President Trump to cease all aid and support to Ukraine, demand a ceasefire, and negotiate a territorial partition to resolve the conflict, suggesting this could lead to global peace and a Nobel Prize for Trump.
   
   

   • That is, shut off the spigot of all aid, all weapons delivery, all intelligence and all other operational support, demand a cease fire and invite both Zelensky and Putin to Camp David.

   • And for the US it would mean not only closing another hideously stupid chapter in the Forever Wars, but also the chance start down a new path toward global peace and disarmament that might actually offer the Donald a real chance to get his Nobel Prize.

The Defeat of the West and Its Dislocation By Moon of Alabama

1. Drawing on Emmanuel Todd's work, the article suggests that the West is currently experiencing a "defeat" and "dislocation" similar to Russia's post-Soviet collapse, characterized by an inability to distinguish facts from wishes.
   
   

   • In his latest (and last) book, La Défaite de l’Occident (The Defeat of the West), he laments the West’s inability to distinguish facts from wishes, as seen in its behavior during the war in Ukraine.

   • But we are now in the next phase, which is the dislocation of the West, and I have to say that, just as in the dislocation of communism, of the Soviet system, I am unable to understand exactly what is going on.

2. The author highlights Emmanuel Todd's view that nihilism, described as a "drive to destroy not just things and people but reality," has permeated Western thought, with "Trans ideology" cited as an example.
   
   

   • Nihilism, a lack of values and of acceptance of reality, has infested western thinking.

   • Trans ideology is therefore, in my opinion, one of the flags of this nihilism that now defines the West, this drive to destroy not just things and people but reality.

3. The article argues that "liberal democracy" in the West has failed as a belief system, akin to communism in Russia, leading to a "psychological breakdown" and irrational behavior within Western societies.
   
   

   • ‘Liberal democracy’, the system of ideas that has for decades been the leading light of the West, has failed.

   • The accumulation of defeat after defeat by the ‘liberal democracy’ system has led to a psychological breakdown, an internal dislocation of the West.

4. The West's current state is characterized by a "pathological dissociation from the real world" and a reliance on wishful thinking, which the author warns may persist until the West is "forcibly expelled" from this alternative reality.
   
   

   • The psychological dislocation caused by ‘defeat’ may explain (but not justify) the West’s ‘curious’ inability to understand world events: The almost pathological dissociation from the real world that it displays in its words and actions.

   • Yet, even as the political situation deteriorates … there is no sign of the West becoming more reality-based in its understanding – and it is very likely that it will continue to live in its alternative construction of reality – until it is forcibly expelled.

5. The author points to various "defeats" of Western "liberal hegemony," including military failures in Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria, economic decline relative to China, and a moral self-defeat witnessed in Gaza.
   
   

   • The West, or as Mearsheimer is arguing (vid), ‘liberal hegemony’, has been routed in Afghanistan.

   • The economic decline of the West is demonstrated by the rise of China.

Trump’s Palantir-Powered Surveillance Is Turning America Into a Digital Prison By John & Nisha Whitehead

1. The article warns that the Trump administration, in collaboration with Palantir Technologies, is creating a centralized, national citizen database that will transform America into a "digital prison" and "panopticon presidency".
   
   

   • President Trump’s plan to fuse government power with private surveillance tech to build a centralized, national citizen database is the final step in transforming America from a constitutional republic into a digital dictatorship armed with algorithms and powered by unaccountable, all-seeing artificial intelligence.

   • What we’re witnessing is the transformation of America into a digital prison—one where the inmates are told we’re free while every move, every word, every thought is monitored, recorded, and used to assign a “threat score” that determines our place in the new hierarchy of obedience.

2. Palantir is identified as a key player in this surveillance regime, using its software to collect and cross-reference vast amounts of personal data from various sources, moving towards "pre-crime prediction" rather than due process.
   
   

   • Palantir, long criticized for its role in powering ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) raids and predictive policing, is now poised to become the brain of Trump’s surveillance regime.

   • Building on this foundation of historical abuse, the government has evolved its tactics, replacing human informants with algorithms and wiretaps with metadata, ushering in an age where pre-crime prediction is treated as prosecution.

3. The author argues that this expanding surveillance utilizes individuals' "digital footprint" to flag potential threats based on constitutionally protected expression, such as internet search history, social media posts, or affiliations with activist groups.
   
   

   • Every smartphone ping, GPS coordinate, facial scan, online purchase, and social media like becomes part of your “digital exhaust”—a breadcrumb trail of metadata that the government now uses to build behavioral profiles.

   • The FBI has developed detailed dossiers on individuals based not on criminal activity, but on constitutionally protected expression—flagging citizens for visiting alternative media websites, criticizing government policies, or supporting causes deemed “extreme.”.

4. This modern surveillance system is seen as a "resurrection of Main Core" (a classified database of potential threats) and represents an automation of authoritarianism where constitutional safeguards are nullified and dissent becomes "fatal".
   
   

   • Trump’s embrace of Palantir, and its unparalleled ability to fuse surveillance feeds, social media metadata, public records, and AI-driven predictions, marks a dangerous evolution: a modern-day resurrection of Main Core, digitized, centralized, and fully automated.

   • And that is the endgame: the automation of authoritarianism.

5. The article asserts that modern totalitarianism is disguised as convenience and safety, leading most Americans to be "asleep to the danger" and to "love our servitude".
   
   

   • Today’s totalitarianism doesn’t come with jackboots and secret police.

   • The tragedy, however, is that most Americans don’t see the bars being built around them, because the architecture of tyranny is disguised as convenience and cloaked in comfort.

6. The authors advocate for resistance against this technological tyranny by demanding transparency, enforcing limits on data collection, banning predictive profiling, and dismantling fusion centers.
   
   

   • We must demand transparency, enforce limits on data collection, ban predictive profiling, and dismantle the fusion centers feeding this machine.

   • We must stop cooperating with our captors.

VShred Diet? All Commercial- And Fitness-Oriented Diets Suck! By Joachim Bartoll

1. The author, Joachim Bartoll, asserts that all humans are physiologically constructed the same, and therefore, the concept of different "body types" (Endomorphs, Ectomorphs, Mesomorphs) used by the VShred diet is "pure bollocks pseudoscience".
   
   

   • If you have any knowledge of the most simple principles in biology and physiology, you know that all humans are constructed exactly the same.

   • These different “classifications” come from observing bodies that are struggling with nutrient deficiencies and a high toxic load, and by correcting these underlying causes and becoming healthy, you will function exactly the same as everyone else that is healthy.

2. Bartoll claims there is only one optimal "species-appropriate diet" for humans, which consists exclusively of animal-based foods, emphasizing fatty meats, organ meats, and eggs, and advising against consuming anything plant-based.
   
   

   • There is only ONE diet for any human, and that is our species-appropriate diet that we are physiologically constructed for.

   • Humans are obligate hyper carnivores and we should only consume animal-based foods, focusing on fatty meats, organ meats and eggs.

3. He criticizes VShred's use of "carb cycling" and "macro tracking" as "worthless" and unhealthy, advocating instead for eating nutritious animal-based foods combined with strategic fasting for fat loss and health.
   
   

   • Both [carb cycling and macro tracking] are worthless.

   • Instead you should eat nutritious food to maintain your weight and then add in two days of fasting a week, or three days of semi-fasting.

4. The author dismisses VShred's claimed "Harvard-discovered secret loophole" involving hormones like irisin and receptors like TRPV1, stating they are natural biological reactions to a high-fat, animal-based diet and physical activity, rather than unique "loopholes".
   
   

   • As for loopholes, there are none in nature.

   • What VShred is trying to insinuate is that the exercise regime and their carb-cycling, which includes days of high-fat and low-carb will increase this myokine and adipokine.

5. Bartoll asserts that plant-derived seed and vegetable oils are toxic and damaging to cells and arteries due to oxidation, and that cravings for unhealthy foods stem from nutrient deficiencies that can be resolved by adhering to a species-appropriate, animal-based diet.
   
   

   • With that being said, if you increase fats by adding plant-derived seed- or vegetable oils, you will increase the toxic load of the body as these are always oxidized, as in rancid, and thus extremely damaging to your cells and especially your arteries.

   • Cravings come from nutrient deficiencies and programming.

6. He argues that restrictive, low-calorie diets are unhealthy and lead to nutrient deficiencies and hormone imbalances, emphasizing that optimal health, longevity, and wellbeing are achieved through a species-appropriate diet, which will naturally lead to fat loss.
   
   

   • Any diet that is several weeks or months in duration and where you reduce your food intake for the most part of a week or longer is extremely unhealthy.

   • You should always put health, longevity and wellbeing first, and that is only possible to achieve with a species-appropriate diet.

Weak, Tired, Depressed? Are you suffering from low vitamin B12? By Rhoda Wilson (Content by Dr. Vernon Coleman)

1. Vitamin B12 deficiency is a common condition affecting a significant portion of the population, with estimates ranging from 3-10%, and is particularly prevalent in those over 60 years old.
   
   

   • Vitamin B12 deficiency is a common condition that affects around 3-5% of the population, with some experts estimating it could be as high as 10%.

   • It is suggested that at least a fifth of all those over the age of 60 have low vitamin B12.

2. B12 deficiency can cause a wide array of severe symptoms, including tiredness, dementia, depression, and neurological problems, some of which are identical to those seen with multiple sclerosis or psychosis.
   
   

   • A deficiency in B12 can cause a wide range of symptoms, including tiredness, dementia, depression and neurological problems, which can be easily reversed with vitamin B12 injections or supplements.

   • Around three-quarters of patients with low vitamin B12 will suffer neurological symptoms, for vitamin B12 deficiency causes megaloblastic anaemia and demyelinating disease.

3. The article suggests that hundreds of thousands of people diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in the UK alone may actually be suffering from undiagnosed and easily curable B12 deficiency.
   
   

   • So, around the world, how many of the many millions said to be suffering from Alzheimer’s disease are in reality simply vitamin B12 deficient and could be cured with a short course of injections?.

   • I’d suspect that the real figure is around 500,000.

4. B12 deficiency is frequently overlooked by doctors due to a lack of routine testing, inconsistent "normal" ranges between laboratories, and laboratories providing dangerously low "normal" result figures that delay appropriate treatment.
   
   

   • First, most doctors don’t bother to test for vitamin B12 deficiency.

   • The laboratories which do the blood tests usually give the wrong “normal” result figures.

5. The author alleges that pharmaceutical companies contribute to B12 deficiency being overlooked because vitamin supplements and injections are cheap and not profitable, influencing medical practice and thought.
   
   

   • The fact is that the drug companies which control the medical establishment (and which also control much postgraduate medical education and, through their advertising budgets, keep the medical journals alive) know that there is very little profit to be made out of identifying and treating vitamin B12 deficiency.

   • Vitamin supplements and high-dose injections are not patented and so they are very cheap.

6. Vitamin B12 is primarily found in animal products, and the rising popularity of vegan diets is likely to increase the occurrence of B12 deficiency within the population.
   
   

   • Vitamin B12 is primarily found in animal products and with it becoming fashionable in some circles to follow a vegan diet, vitamin B12 deficiency is likely to become more common.

   • Since vitamin B12 deficiency is common in those who follow a vegan diet, it is likely that the current fashion for veganism will increase the occurrence of vitamin B12 deficiency.

What Is Putin to Do Now, by John Helmer

1. Following drone attacks on Russian nuclear bomber airfields, Russian President Putin has chosen "not to retaliate for the moment," instead waiting for President Trump to "deliver" on proposed peace talks and a Memorandum in Istanbul.
   
   

   • A well-informed Russian military source says Putin has decided not to retaliate for the moment.

   • Russian retaliation, it has been decided and now announced publicly, waits on the Trump Administration to respond to the Russian terms which have been tabled in Istanbul.

2. Putin publicly characterized the drone attacks on civilians (Kursk and Bryansk) as "terrorism" orchestrated by an "illegitimate regime in Kiev" and its "accomplice" sponsors, but he avoided explicitly mentioning the nuclear bomber airfield strikes in his public statement.
   
   

   • Focusing only on the bridge and railway attacks in Kursk and Bryansk, he called them “a targeted strike against civilians, and for all international standards such actions are called terrorism.”.

   • This only confirms our fears that the illegitimate regime in Kiev, which once it had seized power, has gradually degenerated into a terrorist organization, and its sponsors become Accomplices of terrorists.

3. The June 1 attack on Russia's Tupolev nuclear-capable bomber fleet, involving 117 drones coordinated by Ukraine's Security Service (SBU), is described as a "clear breach" of Russia's nuclear warfighting and deterrence doctrine.
   
   

   • The June 1 attack on the Tupolev nuclear-capable bomber fleet targeted five airbases which are located apart from each other by distances of 3,000 kilometres north-south and 5,000 kms west-east, simultaneously coordinating the launch of 117 drones – Zelensky’s number.

   • In Russian terms, this is a a clear breach of the red line in the government’s nuclear warfighting and deterrence doctrine, issued last December, of Articles 11 and 19( c).

4. The Russian Foreign Ministry explicitly stated that "the West is involved in the terrorist activities of the Kiev regime" through supplying weapons, providing coordinates, and offering political support without condemnation.
   
   

   • The West is involved in the terrorist activities of the Kiev regime.

   • Firstly, the countries of the ‘collective West’ supply weapons precisely in order to carry out terrorist attacks.

5. While the Trump administration remained largely silent or evasive regarding the airfield attacks, White House negotiator General Keith Kellogg acknowledged the Ukrainian strike as "strategic warfare" that raised "risk levels".
   
   

   • Over the 72 hours since the Kiev regime claimed credit for planning and executing the successful attack on Russia’s nuclear bomber fleet, Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Secretary of Defense Peter Hegseth have kept silent.

   • The White House negotiator for peace terms, General Keith Kellogg, is, until now, the only senior US official to acknowledge that the Ukrainian strike was strategic warfare.

6. Some commenters suggest that the war in Ukraine is a "phony choreographed conflict" designed to protract the "liquidation of whites" and that it serves "Jewish interests".
   
   

   • One thing I have no doubt of: the war in Ukraine is not what it seems, and serves Jewish interests.

   • What CIA-KGB man doesn’t tell you is that both ‘sides’ (NATOUkraine/Russia) are governed by the same Zionist-Commie cabal, pretending to be ‘enemies’ so they can waste whitey in some coordinated ‘war’.

7. There are calls from commenters for Russia to retaliate severely against the West, including suggestions to destroy US bombers on US soil, target infrastructure like the Trans-Alaska pipeline or Wall Street, or attack Israeli military bases.
   
   

   • Putin needs to destroy US bombers on US soil, say B-52s parked on the tarmac in North Dakota (center of US heartland), and demonstrate that Russia can pick off US bombers and the USA has no air defense that can stop Russia hypersonic missiles.

   • Another thing Putin can do is take out Tel Aviv and/or a bunch of IDF airbases, defang the IDF so Hamas, Houthis, Iran, and Hezbollah can then start attacking Jew demons in their homeland.

The Arcade Fire: Spook Babies By Ana Friday

1. The author posits that the sexual misconduct allegations against Arcade Fire's Win Butler in 2022 were likely fabricated as a "split-the-sexes project" and a publicity stunt, given the lack of legal action and the band's declining sales.
   
   

   • I suspected the allegations were faked and that this was just another split-the-sexes project.

   • If there really is no evidence against him, it would be a slam-dunk case—especially given that he has likely lost millions of dollars due to their accusations.

2. The article suggests that crisis PR firms, like the one hired by Butler (Risa Heller, identified as an Ashkenazic Jewish "professional LIAR"), not only manage but also create such public relations crises for celebrities whose careers are waning.
   
   

   • Butler had already hired a crisis PR agency to craft a response, which was included in the article.

   • It all makes perfect sense when you realize that these high-profile crisis PR firms don’t just manage crises, they create them.

3. Win Butler's extensive ancestry is highlighted, connecting him to prominent historical and influential families, including those of the British Peerage, American presidents, and figures involved in the US occupation of Haiti.
   
   

   • If you still think rock’n’roll celebrities can ever come from obscurity—even lesser-known indie artists like Arcade Fire—let this be another nail in that coffin.

   • We can take these Spencers back to Gerard, which Findagrave admits even as it tries to deny that he was from the “preeminent aristocrat” Spencer family.

4. The author raises suspicions about the involvement of Win Butler and his wife Régine Chassagne in their Kanpe Foundation, a charity for Haiti, given their families' alleged historical roles in economically and politically exploiting the country.
   
   

   • Knowing what you now know about Win’s ancestry, it should strike you as highly suspicious that a Farnham Butler is involved in charity work in Haiti.

   • Which raises the question: could her husband’s sex scandal have been arranged on her initiative?.

5. The article analyzes occult symbolism and numerology in Arcade Fire's music, particularly the number 9 (signifying 33, a "Phoenician spook marker" and highest level of Freemasonry), suggesting their art aims to keep society in a state of "paralyzing self-reflection" and divert from real change.
   
   

   • But it’s worth noting the music video for “Reflektor”, the song that features Bowie.

   • It’s as if Arcade Fire is admitting they’re the reflector, promising to bring revolution and social change but ultimately diverting us off the path.

6. Régine Chassagne's family is scrutinized, with claims of their "very white" appearance for Haitians, suggesting European extraction and ties to the country's ruling class, and connections to historical figures involved in Haiti's occupation.
   
   

   • Régine is very white for a Haitian.

   • In other words, he was another cloaked agent of the banking interests that infiltrated and wrecked the country.

☕️ AUTO PENMANSHIP ☙ Thursday, June 5, 2025 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠 By Jeff Childers

1. President Trump has issued a "Trump 2.0 travel ban," restricting non-resident entry from a dozen countries and limiting visas from others, citing security vetting issues and visa overstays.
   
   

   • The President seized the news cycle with his latest executive order, reviving —and upgrading— his Trump 1.0 travel ban package.

   • The latest travel ban,” the Times reported, speaking once again in third-person passive voice, “cites issues with security vetting in certain countries and says immigrants from those countries frequently overstay their visas.

2. Trump has suspended the entry of international students to Harvard and ordered "additional vetting" for all Harvard visa applicants, citing the university's "concerning foreign ties and radicalism" and "extensive entanglements".
   
   

   • Reuters ran a story headlined, “Trump suspends entry of international students studying at Harvard.”.

   • The President’s two-page order explained that Harvard had “demonstrated a history of concerning foreign ties and radicalism” and had “extensive entanglements with foreign adversaries,” including the Chinese Communist Party.

3. The author views Trump's actions against Harvard as akin to "McCarthyism in reverse," treating the elite institution as a "national security vulnerability" or "non-state actor with state-sized influence".
   
   

   • This is McCarthyism in reverse: not blacklisting professors, but putting elite institutions themselves on the no-fly list.

   • Harvard, with its “radical foreign entanglements,” is now being treated as a national security vulnerability on par with enemy nations.

4. The Department of Education has initiated action against Columbia University for failing to meet accreditation standards due to its "deliberate indifference" to antisemitic harassment on campus, which could result in the loss of federal student aid.
   
   

   • Yesterday, the Department of Education formally notified Columbia University’s accrediting agency that the university may be out of compliance with federal antidiscrimination law —specifically, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act— due to its mishandling of antisemitic harassment on campus.

   • If Columbia loses its accreditation, it will no longer be eligible for federal student aid, including loans and Pell Grants.

5. The Trump administration is described as "weaponizing" civil rights law and accreditation leverage, tools previously used by the Left, in the opposite direction against institutions like Harvard and Columbia.
   
   

   • For decades, the Left used civil rights law, accreditation leverage, and bureaucratic choke points to punish dissenters, deplatform opposition, and reshape institutions.

   • Now, for the first time, that machinery is being reversed— not dismantled, but weaponized in the opposite direction.

6. Texas has passed a "historic conservative agenda," including requiring the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms, implementing private school vouchers, mandating sheriff cooperation with federal immigration officials, and reforming university faculty senates.
   
   

   • First up: a new law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in every public school classroom.

   • Next, a new law created private school vouchers and funded them with a billion-dollar budget.

7. President Trump has ordered an official DOJ investigation into Joe Biden's use of the Presidential Autopen, questioning Biden's "cognitive fitness" and whether his presidential authority was "unlawfully exercised".
   
   

   • Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal ran a long-awaited story headlined, “Trump Orders Investigation Into Biden’s Actions as President.”.

   • In other words, Biden’s cognitive fitness is now the subject of an official DOJ investigation.

8. This investigation is seen as Trump shattering the "norm and custom" of successive presidents covering for each other, creating significant and "party-shattering" political problems for Democrats in the upcoming midterms.
   
   

   • Trump isn’t just shattering a norm, he’s dynamiting the entire gentleman’s agreement that presidents don’t investigate each other once out of office, no matter how sloppy, senile, or shady things got.

   • The effect on the upcoming midterms could be tectonic.

EN — LARRY ROMANOFF: Jews are Silencing the World By Larry Romanoff

1. New US Restrictions on Foreign Students and Visitors: Donald Trump’s latest atrocity against the US universities involves the deportation from the US of any student who has in their lifetime expressed any antipathy toward the Jews. This is not only about students now; it will involve everyone.

2. Mandatory Social Media Vetting for Visa Applicants: Every visa applicant must present their mobile phones and computers to the respective US Consulate and open their social media accounts. This is so that the Jews in the us State Department can see if anyone has ever made any comments on social media that could be construed as “anti-Semitic”.

3. Prohibition on Anti-Jewish or Pro-Palestine Speech: Anyone who has ever said anything online against the Jews or Israel, (or who has been pro-Palestine) will not be permitted to enter the US. It is now not only against the law to speak in support of Palestine, but against the law to say or write anything negative against either the Jews or Israel.

4. Potential Impact on American Citizens: If you are already in the US and speak negatively against Jews or Israel, you will be deported. Trump is now saying this could happen even if you are an American citizen.

5. Open Exercise of Jewish Power: The author is not surprised the Jews have sufficient power over the US government to push Trump to go this far. The author's surprise is that they are exercising this power so openly.

6. "Additional Vetting" for All Visa Applicants: The US State Department ordered all US embassies and consulates worldwide to “immediately begin additional vetting” for anyone seeking a visa to travel to Harvard University for “any purpose”. This is not limited to “Harvard”; it applies to everyone wanting to enter the US.

7. Comprehensive Online Presence Screening: The “additional vetting” comprises “a complete screening of the online presence” of the applicants. Applicants who are otherwise eligible for a visa must set their social media accounts to public.

8. Identification of "Anti-Semitic Harassment" Histories: Cases are referred to the Fraud Prevention Unit, who should conduct a comprehensive and thorough vetting of each such applicant, including social media activity. The enhanced vetting measures described in this guidance aim at ensuring that consular officers can appropriately identify visa applicants with histories of anti-Semitic harassment.

9. Discretionary Visa Refusal for Consular Officers: [A US State Department cable] tells consular officers that if they “are not personally and completely satisfied that the applicant, during his time in the United States, will engage in activities consistent with his nonimmigrant visa status, you should refuse the visa”.

10. Suspension of Student Visa Appointments: The State Department sent a separate cable suspending all new student visa appointments as they prepare the expanded social media vetting. This is poised to have massive implications, as it applies to more than just students.

11. Trump's Plan to Exclude "Anti-Semites": The Jewish Forward carried an article titled, “Donald Trump Has a Plan To Keep Out Anti-Semites”. Trump noted in his speech that among those excluded would be anti-Semites.

12. Executive Order to Combat Antisemitism and Deport Activists: His executive order instructs all federal agencies to identify civil and criminal authorities available to combat antisemitism — including finding ways to deport anti-Jewish [or] anti-Israel activists. The executive order calls for the deportation of resident aliens [including, but not limited to, students] who broke laws as part of anti-Israel protests.

13. Denial of Citizenship and Green Cards Based on "Anti-Semitism": The Trump administration is now beginning to deny not only student and tourist visas and green cards, but also to deny citizenship to anyone guilty of “anti-Semitism” on social media. Criticism of Israel, a foreign nation, now makes you ineligible for U.S. citizenship.

14. Selective Legal Repression: Only criticism of the Jewish State of Israel or Jews themselves seems to provoke such severe legal repression. No students seem to have been arrested for voicing public criticism of the American government or even President Donald Trump.

15. Case of Rumeysa Ozturk's Deportation: A 30-year-old Tufts doctoral student and Fulbright Scholar from Turkey, Rumeysa Ozturk, was suddenly seized and abducted in the early evening by six masked federal agents of the Department of Homeland Security. Her only reported transgression had been her co-authorship of an op-ed piece in the Tufts student newspaper a year earlier, sharply criticizing Israel and its ongoing attacks on the civilian population of Gaza.

16. Pro-Israel Organizations' Influence on Arrests: Apparently, one of the many powerful pro-Israel censorship organizations funded by Zionist billionaires became outraged over her sentiments and decided to make a public example of her. So its minions in the subservient Trump Administration immediately ordered her arrest.

17. Case of Yunseo Chung's Permanent Residency Revocation: High school valedictorian Yunseo Chung had moved to the U.S. with her family from South Korea when she was 7, but her permanent residency was suddenly revoked for her public criticism of Israeli policy. She was immediately arrested and targeted for deportation.

18. Mass Deportations of Students Criticizing Israel: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio (identified as "a Jew") stated that he had already authorized the arrest and immediate deportation of more than 300 students around the country for their criticism of Israel. “Every time I find one of these lunatics, I take away their visa,” Rubio told reporters.

19. Purge of Harvard's Middle Eastern Studies Leadership: The heads of Harvard University’s Middle Eastern Studies Center were fired. This was to ensure that any further “education” at Harvard about the Middle East would contain only the Jewish version of history and current affairs.

20. Suppression of Non-Jewish Narratives in Academia: Columbia and other major US universities are in the same position. Any Middle Eastern Studies in the US must represent only the preferred Jewish narrative, or be closed down.

21. Jewish Media's Celebration of University Changes: On this news, the Jewish news media had a world-wide celebration. The Jewish Insider crowed “Harvard cleans house at Middle Eastern studies department”.

22. Author's Interpretation of "Anti-Semite": Newsweek had it right when they headlined “Republican bill calls for antisemites to be deported“. But it must be clearly understood that being an anti-Semite is a good thing because it simply means we object to the savage crimes committed by Jews.

23. Jewish Role in Creating Global Hate: It is the Jews who are creating and encouraging the hate in our world, not students or tourists. For the past 20 years, the Jewish-owned mass media have been conducting hate campaigns against a large number of countries and peoples they wanted to destroy.

24. Jewish-Owned Media's Hate Campaigns: Most of the columnists writing these hate pieces are also Jews. They use the US military as their enforcer.

25. Historical "Anger Campaign" Against Germans: At the start of World War II, the Jews in England conducted in their media what they called “an anger campaign” against Germany. They boasted afterward that the hatred of Germany and Germans had increased from about 6% to over 50%.

26. Advocacy for "Systematic Extermination" of Germans: In 1940, these European Zionist and media owners initiated what they called an “anger campaign” with the stated cause of “instilling personal hatred against the German people and Germany”. There were articles in the British (Jewish) newspapers advocating the “systematic extermination of the entire German nation” to be carried out after the war ended.

27. Double Standard in Propagating Hatred: The author asks: “Why is it okay for the Jews to propagate hatred against any other nation and peoples, but not okay for us to despise the Khazar Ashkenazi Jews for the evil they inflict on the world?”.

28. Consequences for Criticizing Jewish Actions: The author asks: “Why are we denounced as “Anti-Semites” if we deplore the savage genocide the Jews are still perpetrating today in Palestine?”. He further asks: “Why are we arrested and deported if we protest against these savage Jewish crimes?”.

29. The "True Rulers" Adage: There is a famous adage: “To determine the true rulers of any society, all you must do is ask yourself this question: Who is it that I am not permitted to criticize?”. The author notes that “fact-checkers” and others attribute this saying to “a neo-Nazi” to blacken its name and allow it to be ignored.

30. Hypocrisy in Permitted Hate: The author states he can shout that “All Chinese are spying, money-grubbing thieves” or “All Russians are savage, war-mongering SOBs” and nothing will happen. But if he shouts that “Jews are spying, money-grubbing thieves and savage, war-mongering SOBs”, he might spend the rest of his life in prison.

31. Unequal Standards for Advocating Extermination: The author questions why it is “okay” for the Jews to recommend the “systematic extermination of the entire German nation,” but a “mortal sin for Gentiles to recommend” the “systematic extermination of the entire Jewish nation”. He concludes that it seems Jews are permitted to hate anyone and everyone, but non-Jews are permitted to hate only those whom the Jews tell them to hate.

32. Blaming the Victim in Jewish Crimes: The author states that the Jews manage to inflict every manner of crime and indignity on the members of a society and yet always manage to somehow blame the victim. He asserts the Khazar Jews are committing the most inhuman atrocities in Palestine but somehow the “guilty” ones are the innocent university students who protest against this savagery.

33. Forced "Self-Silencing": The threats, extortion, and intimidation resulting from these actions by the Trump administration, and from the intense media coverage, will serve to silence all but the most brave or reckless. It is now true, as the author wrote above, that everyone will have to “self-silence” or be deported.

34. Concern About Realizing "True Masters" Too Late: There is cause for great concern that by the time the citizens of the US (and Italy, and France, and Germany, and Canada, and Japan, and Romania, and …) finally wake up and realise who are their true masters, it will be too late. If that happens, God help us all.
