A Rousing Success: Remigration Summit 2025
1. The first European Remigration Summit, ReSum25, was described as a "smashing success" despite facing fierce opposition. Opposition from politicians and media, particularly denunciation and threats to ban the event by the mayor of Milan, was thanked as it likely gave more publicity to the idea of Remigration than anything the organizers could have done, turning it into a debate about free speech.
2. The concept of "remigration" was highlighted as "the central issue of our era" by speakers. The stated goal is to make remigration a normal policy, integrating it into the political landscape and even pop culture.
3. A major theme was the preservation of Europe for Europeans and the beauty of European civilization. This perspective was rooted in the idea that "Africans have Africa, Asians have Asia, and Europe must be for Europeans."
4. Arguments were made regarding the economic costs of immigration, beyond just cultural and racial concerns. Immigrants who do not work and drain social services were described as an economic cost to the existing population, not a benefit.
5. Speakers asserted that remigration could largely be achieved within the current legal framework. It was argued that if existing laws or treaties make it impossible, it is the responsibility of legislators to create laws in the name of their people.
6. A multi-phase approach to remigration was outlined, beginning with deporting illegals and criminals, then dealing with those in Europe legally who commit crimes or whose residence permits are not renewed, and finally offering incentives for assimilated citizens deemed hostile to Europe to return to their own societies. This process was advocated as needing to be "dignified, lawful, and peaceful."
Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Mexico:
1. Mexico's president has reportedly taken steps to appease President Trump, including agreeing to US government drone surveillance over Mexican skies. She has also reportedly sent Mexican drug dealers to Trump in an action described as having the appearance of human tribute.
2. The Trump administration has reportedly conflated the "war on drugs" and the "war on terrorism" by designating drug cartels or drug gangs as "terrorist" organizations.
3. The author contends that proposals like bombing Mexico or intensifying crackdowns will not succeed in winning the war on drugs. Such actions are instead predicted to accelerate the destruction of American liberty.
4. The author strongly asserts that the sole method to eradicate Mexico’s drug cartels and the violence they generate is through drug legalization, which means ending the drug war by legalizing the possession, ingestion, and distribution of all drugs. He states there is no other way to achieve this eradication.
5. The futility of cracking down on cartels is explained through the economic law of supply and demand. As long as there is demand in the U.S. at high black-market prices, there will always be individuals willing to take risks to supply drugs due to the significant profits available.
6. The author highlights the substantial cost of the war on drugs, which he argues is the destruction of the liberty, privacy, peace, and well-being of both American and Mexican people. Because the war cannot be won, this process of destruction continues indefinitely.
Canada: FOI Response Reveals the “Died Suddenly” Phenomenon Is Real and PHAC Has Been Tracking It
1. A Freedom of Information (FOI) request directed at the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) revealed that the "died suddenly" phenomenon is real, and the agency has been tracking it. The request yielded thousands of pages of internal reports, literature reviews, emails, and 19 spreadsheets containing adverse event data.
2. PHAC was compelled to release this information following a complaint to Canada’s Information Commissioner after delays in responding to the initial request. The Commissioner ruled that PHAC's requested extension was unreasonable and ordered the release of the documents.
3. The over 2,000 pages of documents demonstrate a comprehensive governmental awareness of a wide array of dangerous and even fatal adverse events following immunization (AEFIs), both from scientific literature and occurrences across Canada.
4. Within PHAC's database, a 2023 study was found indicating "negative efficacy," meaning that the risk of contracting COVID-19 increased with a higher number of vaccine doses previously received. The author posits that this study negates any potential justification for the morbidity and mortality associated with COVID vaccines.
5. Internal communications revealed that PHAC staff were alarmed by Florida's decision to stop recommending COVID vaccination for young males and noted a 24 times elevated risk of myocarditis among Canadian girls aged 5–11 based on PHAC data. Staff were also reportedly exchanging regular updates on the vaccine death tally via email.
6. Despite internal awareness and data showing most deaths occurred soon after injection, PHAC reportedly filtered out death reports before proper assessment and utilized causality guidelines to disregard hundreds of Canadian deaths. Despite the findings in the released documents, federal sources still publicly assert that all authorized COVID vaccines in Canada are proven safe and effective.
Council Should Vote No on Ordinance Banning Rent Algorithms
1. Jersey City is preparing to vote on Ordinances 25-056 and 25-057, proposals aimed at banning the use of algorithmic pricing software by landlords.
2. Critics of the software argue that it allows landlords to "maximize profit" and creates an uncompetitive market.
3. The author counters that algorithmic pricing tools do not dictate prices but instead reflect them based on market data, including demand, neighborhood trends, and inventory. The author emphasizes that supply and demand is the natural mechanism of free exchange, not a form of price manipulation.
4. It is argued that prohibiting these tools could paradoxically lead to less transparency and more arbitrary pricing decisions. This could particularly harm smaller, independent landlords who rely on the software for sophisticated market analysis that large firms can access without it.
5. The author asserts that in a free society, the government's role should be to eliminate barriers to market function, such as reforming zoning or permitting processes, rather than imposing price controls or stifling innovation.
6. The proposed ordinance is viewed as a violation of property rights, citing Article I, Section I of the New Jersey Constitution. Elected officials are urged not to undermine landlords' rights through these ordinances.
Double Slit Revisited
1. The author claims that mainstream physics is currently in "utter disarray" and that its self-destruction is accelerating. He states that he frequently achieves "wins" as the mainstream either implicitly acknowledges his correctness or proposes flawed theories he can easily refute.
2. The author notes that seventeen years after he offered his solution to the double-slit experiment, the mainstream continues to work on it, suggesting that previously accepted explanations like Feynman's path integrals and standard wave interference are not considered satisfactory.
3. A new paper by Villas-Boas et al. is discussed, which proposes that "dark photons" are responsible for the dark areas observed in the interference pattern. This theory involves classical interference arising from collective bright and dark states of light, utilizing entangled superpositions.
4. The author strongly criticizes this new dark photon theory, stating it is "nowhere near" his own solution and further complicates the issue. He views the use of entangled states as "fudgy operators" and argues the theory is even less physical or mechanical than the explanations it aims to replace.
5. The author's own theory posits the existence of a "charge field" that is present in the experimental environment even before the laser is activated. This field is described as being composed of real, dark (infrared) photons and containing pre-existing interference patterns.
6. The author believes the new mainstream theory fails by not grasping the fundamental reality of the experiment. While it acknowledges something happening in the dark, it supposedly lacks understanding because it is unaware of the true nature of the charge field.
Reducing Carbohydrates For One Day Shows Improvements In Cardiometabolic Health
1. The author posits that humans are obligate hypercarnivores, naturally designed to consume only animal-based foods, specifically animal protein and animal fat. He states that humans produce their own glucose through gluconeogenesis and are not intended to consume carbohydrates.
2. The author expresses skepticism about the utility of a 1-day study on carbohydrate restriction, arguing that such a short duration is generally ineffective for demonstrating long-term health benefits. However, he acknowledges that it can reveal immediate metabolic changes when carbohydrates are restricted.
3. The study detailed three distinct diets followed by participants for one day each: a high-carbohydrate diet (55% of calories from carbs), and two diets providing 50 grams of carbohydrates, one energy-balanced ("ketogenic") and one calorically restricted ("ketogenic" + caloric restriction).
4. The author criticizes the study's use of the term "ketogenic" for the 50 grams of carbohydrate diets, asserting that this level of carbohydrate intake is merely a "half-assed low-carb diet". He clarifies that a true ketogenic diet involves consuming less than 20 grams of carbohydrates daily, ideally near zero.
5. Despite the study's limitations, the lower-carbohydrate diets demonstrated improvements such as increased fat oxidation at rest and reduced postprandial levels of triglycerides and free fatty acids. The author explains this by stating that with less elevated blood glucose from carbohydrates, the body more readily breaks down and uses fatty acids for energy.
6. The author argues that consuming carbohydrates leads to artificially elevated blood glucose, which he describes as highly toxic and damaging to soft tissues and organs, ultimately causing conditions like cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. He contrasts this with a true ketogenic diet, which he views as the natural human diet, where blood glucose remains stable because the body produces necessary glucose via gluconeogenesis.
Rethinking US-China Relations After the Tariffs Shipwreck
1. President Trump's imposition of sweeping tariffs was presented with the stated goals of reducing trade deficits and bringing jobs back to the US. However, the author argues the true intention was to weaken China by preventing its exports and to isolate the country.
2. The author claims that Trump's tariff strategy ultimately failed, resulting in him easing the tariffs without achieving his stated objectives. He argues the policy harmed the American people by causing higher prices, reduced employment, and slower economic growth.
3. China's response to the tariffs is portrayed as consistent with their philosophical approach and adherence to WTO rules. China reportedly "stuck to its guns" and refused to yield to what the author terms Washington's "bullying".
4. The trade conflict resulted in a "massive de-escalation," with the US significantly reducing duties on Chinese products and Beijing lowering its tariffs. This outcome is described as meeting "nearly all of Beijing’s core demands".
5. The author argues that the US policy towards China is counterproductive and harmful to the US itself, characterizing the US approach as "bullyboy tactics". China is depicted as having achieved a victory that was "as close to a complete victory as one could imagine".
6. The author challenges the widely held view among Western elites and media that China's rise represents a grave threat to America's global position. He contends that this "misguided assumption" drives US policy and puts the two nations on a path toward military conflict, arguing that China is not an enemy and does not seek confrontation.
The Magical Mystery Tour That Wasn’t
1. A positive aspect of President Trump's Middle East trip, according to the author, was his address to Arab leaders, where he rejected a "neocon" inspired hegemonic US foreign policy. He emphasized that countries in the region should develop their own economies and societies based on their own visions.
2. Transactional outcomes of the trip included Saudi Arabia's connection to Washington through a significant $142 billion arms package and energy deals. Additionally, Qatar reportedly gifted Trump a Boeing 747 aircraft, valued at approximately $400 million, to replace the current Air Force One.
3. A notable "sin of omission" during the trip was Trump's failure to recognize a Palestinian State as a first step towards their independence and sovereignty. This action is noted as potentially being well-received by both his Arab audience and a significant portion of Americans.
4. Another missed opportunity, according to the author, was not issuing an ultimatum to Israel to immediately end the blockade of Gaza and agree to a ceasefire leading to a peace agreement. The author points out that Trump's mediator reportedly stated the US would not interfere in Israel's actions in Gaza.
5. The author suggests there might be a "fraud" in the portrayal of a genuine rift between Trump and Netanyahu. He speculates that the US may have feigned a disagreement to facilitate agreements with Arab states that confirm Israel's security while Palestinians are being displaced or harmed.
6. Trump reportedly proposed a concept for Gaza as a "freedom zone" with US involvement, aiming to house people safely while dealing with Hamas. Simultaneously, the US is reportedly negotiating with factions in Libya to accept one million Palestinian refugees, who would presumably be forcibly removed from Gaza.
The Real American Dream: Starting Over
1. The author posits that the true essence of the American Dream is not primarily measured by financial success but rather by the freedom to "Start Over" and make a fresh beginning.
2. The conventional definition of the American Dream is described as achieving middle-class security through diligence, intelligence, perseverance, prudence, saving, and investing. This is considered an ordinary form of success attainable through individual effort.
3. During the early 1800s, there was considerable mobility among the non-slave population, with Americans frequently relocating to pursue better opportunities, start businesses, or find different employment, often far from their previous homes.
4. European visitors during that era observed a strong American focus on material wealth. Charles Dickens notably commented on this obsession, feeling that life seemed reduced to the pursuit of "dollars".
5. Mobility is presented as a vital dynamic not only for individual aspirations but also for the overall economy. The economy benefits from the workforce's ability to move geographically and change careers to boost productivity.
6. The author contends that the increasing financialization of housing has negatively impacted households' ability to relocate, even when new opportunities arise. This is suggested as a factor contributing to the significant decline in mobility since its peak between 1985 and 1999.
There Is Only One Way To Eradicate Mexico’s Drug Cartels
1. The author firmly states that there is only one effective method to eliminate Mexico's drug cartels and the extensive violence associated with them: the comprehensive legalization of all drugs. This involves ending the current war on drugs by making the possession, ingestion, and distribution of drugs legal.
2. He expresses strong disagreement with the common belief, including that held by the US president, that increased "cracking down" on cartels will lead to their eradication, labeling this idea as "inane".
3. The author argues that any effort to suppress cartels through arrests or killings is ineffective because new drug lords and cartels will immediately emerge to replace them. This phenomenon is attributed to the economic law of supply and demand.
4. A historical parallel is drawn to the US alcohol prohibition period, which also resulted in substantial violence and ultimately failed. The author notes that once alcohol was re-legalized, the "alcohol lords" were eliminated instantly.
5. The author emphasizes the significant cost incurred by waging the war on drugs, which he identifies as the destruction of the liberty, privacy, peace, and well-being of both the American and Mexican populations.
6. Given that the war on drugs is seen as unwinnable, the associated destruction of liberty and well-being is expected to continue indefinitely until a critical mass of people recognize its futility and advocate for its end.
Trump Proposes Tax-Increases on Poor to Fund Tax-Cuts on Rich
1. According to a news report cited by the author, Donald Trump's proposed tax plan includes short-term tax reductions for lower-income individuals but would enact permanent tax cuts for multimillionaires and billionaires.
2. These proposed tax structure changes are intended to finance increased expenditures for the Defense Department and Homeland Security Department. Conversely, spending would be decreased across all other federal departments, including those providing services to the poor.
3. The author highlights a reported US plan to relocate one million Palestinians to Libya. As part of this plan, Libya would allegedly receive billions of dollars in funds in exchange for accepting the resettlement of Palestinians.
4. The author explains that Palestinians resist relocation because it would mean forfeiting their legal right of return, and their land would subsequently be taken and settled by Zionist Jews, signifying a complete defeat. Any perceived gains from relocation under such circumstances would be perceived as being obtained "at gunpoint".
5. The author suggests this reported plan could facilitate building hotels and resorts on the Gaza beachfront by implying Netanyahu would not need to engage in extensive actions against Gazans for such development. The US funds mentioned would reportedly go to the Libyan government agreeing to the plan, not the Palestinians themselves.
6. The author asserts that the US government has been "traitorous" since 1945, arguing that the military-industrial complex gained control after the constitutional Declaration-of-War clause became ineffective.
Why China Won’t Call a ‘Tariff-Wielding Barbarian’
1. The author argues that President Trump's tariff policy proved ineffective largely because China's economy is resilient and US imports constitute a relatively small portion of China's total GDP.
2. According to projections from Goldman Sachs cited in the source, the tariffs were expected to cost China a mere 0.5% of its GDP in 2025, while imposing a significantly higher cost of 2% on the US GDP, illustrating a considerable negative impact on the US.
3. China is proactively working to reduce its economic reliance on the US market by diversifying its supply chains. This includes pursuing new trade agreements and strengthening economic ties with regions like ASEAN, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and Europe.
4. The author strongly criticizes Trump's economic advisors, specifically naming Peter Navarro and Scott Bessent, as "crude Sinophobes" who lacked understanding of China. He particularly ridicules Bessent's assertion that the US held an advantage due to its deficit position, calling it "idiocy" when comparing the US national debt to China's surplus.
5. The author characterizes the offer made to Global Majority nations during the trade conflict as akin to a "Mafioso ‘offer you can’t refuse’," pressuring them to reduce trade with China in favor of trade with the US, which he sees as disregarding their economic sovereignty.
6. A potential powerful response from Beijing to US economic pressure is highlighted: the possibility of selling off its substantial holdings of US Treasuries, which amounted to $760 billion as of January. The author warns that such an action could trigger "catastrophic cascading consequences".
Donald Trump's Looney Tunes Trade Policy
1. The author describes President Trump's trade policy, characterized by abrupt and significant tariff changes, as "Looney Tunes" and unprecedented compared to the tax and tribute policies of historical rulers like Caligula or Genghis Khan.
2. The author contends that Trump's trade strategy was fundamentally flawed because it rested on a severe misjudgment of the relative size and strength of the US economy compared to China and other countries. He argues that the perception of the US as an economic colossus is outdated, as the rise of Asia, especially China, has reshaped the global economic landscape.
3. The author advocates for using Purchasing Power Parity (PPP)-adjusted GDP, or "Real GDP," and particularly "productive GDP" (which excludes the service sector), as more reliable metrics for comparing the true size and economic power of nations than nominal GDP.
4. Using these alternative metrics, the author presents data suggesting China's real productive economy was already three times larger than America's several years ago and is expanding at a much faster rate. Specific examples like China's production in auto exports, coal, steel, wheat, and shipbuilding capacity are presented as evidence of its large-scale industrial strength relative to the US.
5. The author points out that US GDP statistics include a significant portion, approximately $4 trillion or 14%, derived from "imputations," which are assigned values for economic activity that is not actually traded in the market, such as imputed rental for owner-occupied housing. China, in contrast, does not include such imputations in its GDP calculations.
6. The author draws a parallel between Trump's tariff policy and the economic sanctions imposed on Russia by the West, suggesting that while those sanctions were partly ineffective, Trump's proposal amounted to implementing severe economic sanctions against his own country on a global scale, which would logically result in negative economic consequences for the US.
‘Transition’ to a New World Order Is Beyond Most in the West
1. The author asserts that the current global transition marks the end of traditional political divisions, with labels like Red vs Blue, Right vs Left losing their relevance in a new era.
2. While the need for a transition to a new world order is starting to be recognized in the US, the author claims that European leaders and those who benefit from financialization dismiss President Trump's economic ideas as bizarre. This is seen as indicative of their inability to consider alternative economic frameworks.
3. The author cites economist Yanis Varoufakis, who described the liberal globalist system as being sustained by a massive daily inflow of foreign capital into the US. This arrangement allows the US to maintain readily available foreign goods and low interest rates without needing to actively borrow or protect creditors against fluctuations in the dollar's value.
4. Restructuring the western economic system is presented as an unavoidable necessity, with the alternative being a form of bankruptcy. The author questions whether Trump's specific approach to structural rebalancing is the correct solution.
5. Beyond structural economic imbalance, the author identifies a deeper geo-strategic crisis stemming from the collapse of core ideologies that have underpinned liberal globalism. Western economic theory is described as bankrupt, lacking plausible alternative solutions.
6. A primary obstacle to transitioning to an alternative economic structure is the West's profound ideological commitment to the philosophical foundations of the current system, which equate markets with freedom (drawing on Hayek and Friedman) and rely on the idea that individual self-interest benefits society as a whole (Adam Smith). The author argues that questioning these ingrained beliefs is perceived as betraying foundational European and American values.
☕️ TRADING MAYORS ☙ Tuesday, May 20, 2025 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠
1. The Trump administration's new Department of Justice has reportedly taken action by filing criminal charges against a sitting member of Congress, Representative LaMonica McIver, stemming from an incident at a Newark ICE Center. She is charged with assaulting a federal officer.
2. These charges against Rep. McIver were filed shortly after misdemeanor trespassing charges against Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, who was present with McIver during the same incident at the ICE facility, were dismissed by the U.S. Attorney's office. The author characterizes this outcome as the DOJ having "traded up" misdemeanor charges against the mayor for felony charges against the Congresswoman.
3. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is reportedly facing a Civil Rights investigation initiated by the Department of Justice over alleged racially motivated hiring practices. The Assistant Attorney General reportedly found "reasonable cause" to believe hiring decisions were based "solely on the basis of race."
4. The Trump Justice Department is reportedly considering eliminating a rule implemented during the Biden administration that necessitates approval from the Public Integrity Section in Washington, D.C., for investigations and charges against public officials, including members of Congress. The author suggests this change would allow federal prosecutors across the country more independence in pursuing such cases.
5. Attorney General Bondi has reportedly rescinded a Biden-era policy that restricted investigators from accessing reporters' phone records to identify sources of leaks. Bondi issued a memo stating that unauthorized disclosures are illegal and unacceptable, and must be stopped.
6. Cartoonist Scott Adams has reportedly discussed his cancer diagnosis and expressed a shift in his perspective regarding the "jab injury debate" related to COVID vaccines. He reportedly stated that those who chose not to get vaccinated "clearly are the winners," and that he himself did not end up in the favorable position regarding vaccination.
