5 Meme FRIDAY

+ Etienne is Streaming Globally on Thursday Night on The Greatest Theft in History! Etienne Note: If the images aren’t visible, please try this browser LINK.Dear Subscribers,This big story this week was our release of the NEW 5.5 Edition of my book: “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed! The new version has updated content, memes, visualizations, and a new cover design. I am attaching a teaser copy of the 5th edition to this email for you to share with your family and friends.We released the new addition alongside a teaser for a new study that we are officially announcing and releasing this upcoming week. “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… has produced the greatest theft in history. A couple of weeks ago we released our research showing the unbelievable cost of fractional reserve banking on the average worker. We dug deeper and calculated the additional cost of confiscatory federal, state & local taxes AND the theft of Social Security (and pension!) benefits due to the organized crime “government” lying to retirees about the inflation rate, so they don’t have to pay mandated Cost-Of-Living-Adjustments (COLAs). I don’t want to steal our thunder from the announcement which we are making on Tuesday, but it has been the greatest theft in all of human history… by far! Stay Tuned!Finally, I am going to be giving a presentation on the findings of the report in Memphis, TN that will be streamed globally this Thursday, March 26th at 7:00 PM CST. If you have ever wanted to visit Memphis, the home of Elvis Presley, Beale Street/The Blues, FedEx and Grok, this is the week to come!

The company behind it, Flock Safety, is claiming to fight — and even prevent — crime, but the reality is more sinister.Flock and companies like it are building the foundation for a surveillance state that would make George Orwell blush. They are accomplishing this by installing high-tech AI cameras on every street corner, positioning them in every neighborhood, and even launching AI eyes in the sky through a drone network.The company, founded in 2017 with an evaluated value of $7.5 billion, exists to aid law enforcement and “stay ahead” of any threat “big or small.” More than 5,000 law-enforcement agencies use the tech in 49 states (Alaska being the outlier), according to Flock’s website, which it boasts represents the “largest public-private” surveillance network.Garret Langley, Flock CEO and co-founder, says the company’s objective is to eliminate crime — all crime. In an interview with Forbes, Langley explained that Flock’s “full mission is that we genuinely don’t think that crime should exist…. We think that with technology, with people, with policy, crime can be a thing of the past.” In other words, with enough spyware and surveillance, every movement can be monitored.Continue reading…BREAKING STUDY: COVID-19 “Vaccination” Linked to 6,800% Higher Odds of Debilitating Autoimmune Muscle Diseaseby Nicolas Hulscher, MPHA new study titled “Association Between COVID-19 Vaccination and Polymyalgia Rheumatica: A Review and Case Series Report” reports a powerful safety signal linking COVID-19 vaccination to polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR)—a debilitating autoimmune inflammatory disorder characterized by severe muscle pain and systemic inflammation.The paper was authored by Dr. Erik Nilssen, Dr. James Thorp, Claire Rogers, Kirstin Cosgrove, Dr. Steven Hatfill, Dr. Drew Pinsky, Dr. Kelly Victory, Dr. Alejandro Diaz-Villalobos, Nicolas Hulscher (myself), and Dr. Peter A. McCullough.In our analysis, we examined reports from the CDC/FDA Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) and detected a striking disproportionate increase in PMR cases following COVID-19 vaccination compared with other vaccines. We also report three clinical cases of polymyalgia rheumatica observed in recent medical practice following COVID-19 vaccination or spike protein exposure.Polymyalgia rheumatica primarily affects adults over age 50 and can leave patients with crippling shoulder, neck, and hip pain, profound morning stiffness, fatigue, and elevated inflammatory markers. Many patients require long-term corticosteroid therapy to control symptoms.Continue reading…A surprising percentage of produce from the nation’s largest supplier contains ‘forever’ pesticidesby Sandee LaMotteNearly 40% of nonorganic fruits and vegetables grown in California contain traces of pesticides that are also PFAS, or “forever chemicals,” according to a new investigation.California supplies nearly half of the vegetables and more than three-quarters of the fruits and nuts eaten in the United States.Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, are called “forever chemicals” because their strong carbon to fluoride molecular bonds can take years to decades — even centuries— to completely break down in the environment. It’s estimated there are nearly 15,000 types of fluorinated chemicals, or PFAS, in existence today.“The PFAS pesticide is the active ingredient in these products because it’s effective at killing things — which is the very reason why it’s so concerning to public health and the environment at large,” said Bernadette Del Chiaro, senior vice president for California operations for the Environmental Working Group, or EWG, a health advocacy organization that produced the report published Wednesday.Continue reading…Inside the Bohemian Grove’s Alleged Member List of Elite Men Exposed in New Searchable Databaseby NY Post and More Perfect UnionBohemian Grove is a fraternity of Northern California elites that only allows men as members. A roster purporting to show the Bohemian Grove’s shadowy membership list, uncovered by investigative journalist Dan Boguslaw, reveals more than 2,000 business executives, entertainers, government officials and wealthy individuals separated into “camps” with cryptic names like “Rough ‘n Ready,” “Pink Onion,” and “Lost Angels.”In the short documentary, the researcher from the liberal More Perfect Union said that Trump tried to become a member, but was shut out. He explained how the connected elites took power over the Trump administration despite rejecting him.LINK FOR THE FULL LIST HEREFrom Grok: “The leaked 2023 Bohemian Grove attendee list includes Paul Pelosi (venture capitalist, husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi) and Michael Bloomberg (former NYC mayor with Democratic roots). Historically, the club has leaned heavily Republican (e.g., Reagan, Nixon regulars), but it’s never been strictly one-party—Democrat-linked figures like Chris Matthews have also spoken there. It’s an elite networking spot open to influential men across affiliations.”Continue reading…56% Of Americans Now Suspect COVID-19 ‘Vaccines’ Caused Mass-Deathsby Nicholas Hulscher and Lindell TVRasmussen Reports performed a credible, nationally representative poll that confirms most Americans [56%] believe COVID-19 shots have killed many people, and they want accountability from the CDC and government health leaders. This shows that what was once called a “conspiracy theory” has become the mainstream view. The majority of Americans now believe vaccine harms are real and widespread.Partisan divides remain—70% of Republicans, 46% of Democrats, and 54% of independents think the vaccines likely caused deaths—but the skepticism crosses party lines and racial groups.“OVER HALF OF AMERICANS NOW BELIEVE THE COVID VACCINES CAUSED MASS DEATHS.”Nicholas Hulscher, an epidemiologist with the McCullough Fundm was interviewed about what he calls a growing global crisis of vaccine injuries. “The tide is turning,” Hulscher said.Continue reading…‘A Giant Problem’: Experts Address ‘Massive Epidemic of Vaccine Injury’by Suzanne Burdick, Ph.D.The DefenderThis article was originally published by The Defender — Children’s Health Defense’s News & Views Website.The U.S. must address the “massive epidemic of vaccine injury,” according to scientists, doctors, lawyers and medical freedom activists who spoke today in Washington, D.C., at a roundtable hosted by the MAHA Institute.MAHA Institute President Mark Gorton told The Defender that the massive epidemic of vaccine injury — MEVI, for short — is a “giant problem.”“I want people to understand that vaccine injuries are common and they’re all around, and vaccine injuries dwarf the benefits of vaccines,” Gorton said.Continue reading…Historic heat dome to roast 14 US states with triple-digit temperatures months ahead of scheduleby CHRIS MELORE, US ASSISTANT SCIENCE EDITORA record-shattering heatwave is set to scorch millions across the Southwest, sending temperatures over 100 degrees three months before the US reaches summer.The shocking forecast has been triggered by a massive ‘heat dome’ forming over 14 states, including California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming.Parts of Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas will also be affected, with meteorologists from AccuWeather warning that temperatures throughout the week will be 15 to 30 degrees above average for mid-March.A heat dome works like a lid of high pressure. It builds overhead, trapping hot air at the surface level, suppressing clouds and intensifying sunlight.Continue reading…Switzerland Enshrines Cash in Federal Constitution, but Critics Say It Doesn’t Go Far Enoughby Peter RykowskiIn a nationwide referendum on Sunday, Swiss voters enshrined cash in the country’s federal constitution — but critics, who supported a more extensive proposal, argue that the constitutional amendment does not go far enough in preventing a central bank digital currency.Voters on Sunday decided on multiple national referendums, as well as elections and referendums at the cantonal and local levels. Among these were two competing proposals to enshrine cash in the Swiss Federal Constitution. The original proposal, a popular initiative spearheaded by the Swiss Freedom Movement (FBS) titled “Yes to an independent, free Swiss currency with coins or banknotes (cash is freedom),” would have amended the Constitution to declare:The Federal Government shall ensure that coins or banknotes are always available in sufficient quantities.The replacement of the Swiss franc with another currency must be submitted to a vote by the people and the cantons.Continue reading…Trump Says He Can Do ‘Anything I Want’ With Cubaby Daniel TrottaU.S. President Donald Trump escalated his ⁠rhetoric ⁠against Cuba on Monday, saying he expected ⁠to have the “honor” of “taking Cuba in some form” and that “I can do anything I want” ​with the neighboring country.The threatening statements come even as Cuba and the United States have opened talks aimed at improving their largely adverse relations, ‌which have reached one of their most ‌contentious moments in the 67 years since Fidel Castro overthrew what had been a close U.S. ally.“I do believe I’ll be … ⁠having the honor ⁠of taking Cuba. That’s a big honor. Taking Cuba in some form,” Trump told reporters ​as the island faces an unprecedented economic crisis, exacerbated by an oil blockade the U.S. imposed after capturing former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.“I mean, whether I free it, take it. Think I can do anything I want with it. You want to know the truth,” Trump told reporters at ​a signing event in the Oval Office.After Trump spoke, the New York Times reported that removing Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel ⁠from ⁠office is a key U.S. ⁠objective in the bilateral ​talks. Citing four people familiar with the talks, the Times said the Americans have signaled to Cuban negotiators that Diaz-Canel ​must go but are leaving the ⁠next steps up to the Cubans.Continue reading…Breaking: Federal Court Blocks ACIP Meeting, Changes to Childhood Vaccine Scheduleby Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D.The DefenderThis article was originally published by The Defender — Children’s Health Defense’s News & Views Website.A federal court in Boston today blocked a key government vaccine advisory committee from holding its scheduled meeting this week, and paused changes the committee made to vaccine recommendations under U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy.In a win for the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and several other medical organizations, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), which advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on vaccine policy, will not meet as planned this week.HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon told The Defender in a statement that it “looks forward to this judge’s decision being overturned just like his other attempts to keep the Trump administration from governing.”Continue reading…Counterterrorism Director Joe Kent Resignsby John LeakeJoe Kent, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, just resigned, stating his reasons in the following letterAs part of the Art of Liberty Foundation’s Tribute to Nobel Laureate F.A.

UPS (NYSE: UPS) also experienced an 8.3% volume decline at 4.4 billion deliveries. FedEx (NYSE: FDX) delivered 3.6 billion parcels in 2025, up 5.9%. Amazon’s parcel growth isn’t just fueled by its own online orders, but new contracts from third parties that don’t sell on the retailer’s platform.Overall, industry volume was essentially flat (+0.4%) at 23.9 billion packages. Volumes for alternative carriers grew 13% to 2.6 billion units, highlighting a continued market shift to logistics services from online retailers like Walmart and Target, and low-cost start-ups and other independent carriers such as UniUni, Veho, Gofo, Jitsu, SpeedX, OnTrac and Better Trucks, said ShipMatrix, a provider of carrier benchmarking software for parcel shippers.UPS and FedEx are making a strategic retreat from commodity last-mile delivery — short-distance transport of lightweight merchandise from e-commerce fulfillment centers to residential addresses — to focus on B2B logistics and high-value e-commerce shipments where they can command a premium for complex services. The companies have made clear that low rewards from local courier service don’t cover the high-cost structure associated with operating global integrated express delivery networks. Instead, they are consolidating ground shipping centers and reducing capital investments to focus on shipments that are heavier, cross multiple shipping zones, and in high-density routes that generate higher revenue per parcel.Continue reading…Details Of Fire On US Navy’s Largest Carrier Much Worse Than Previously Knownby Tyler DurdenThere was chaos aboard the USS Gerald R. Ford after a major onboard fire knocked out a big swathe of living quarters, leaving hundreds of US sailors without beds in the middle of a live war deployment, in what marks a much bigger incident than what the Pentagon previously disclosedThe fire occurred last week, raising immediate questions of whether it was hit by an Iranian drone or missile attack, as Tehran has claimed, amid Pentagon insistence that it was none of these – but just an accidental fire.Already the crew and ship are strained to their limits, given the carrier is on its way to achieving a record deployment, entering ten months. The crew has reportedly been informed that they will be deployed into May, which would make an entire year at sea, after the prior Caribbean deployment focused on the Venezuela anti-Maduro operation.The NY Times says this marks twice the length of a normal carrier deployment – one wrought with extreme difficulties and a major emergency, as the report details:Continue reading…Things Go Haywire as Israeli Escalation Throws Iran Conflict into Dangerous New Phaseby SimpliciusThings really hit the fan earlier today after Iran’s largest natural gas field, the South Pars, was struck by Israel. This field reportedly accounts for 75% of Iran’s natural gas production and 80-85% of its electric grid.This of course came directly after Israel had assassinated Iran’s Secretary of the Supreme National Council Ali Larijani in a strike that was said to have also killed upwards of 100+ civilians in the vicinity, as it leveled the apartment block he was in, and possibly even surrounding buildings.This led to Iran immediately escalating with strikes against energy targets in both Israel and the Gulf, particularly hitting Qatar’s Ras Laffan gas hub said to be the world’s largest:The strike was successful and was said to have done massive damage to the facility, which some experts are writing is irreparable.Continue reading…Qatar Expels Iranian Diplomats After Strike On LNG Hub; Israel Attacks Iran’s Navy In Caspian Seaby Tyler DurdenIsrael strikes Iran Navy in Caspian Sea.

Smith, who wrote these words, learned this the hard way at Wonsan Harbour in 1950, when he realised the US Navy could lose control of the seas not to enemy fleets, but to thousands of cheap mines scattered from wooden fishing boats. Seventy-six years later, the same trap is snapping shut in the Strait of Hormuz.The Islamic Republic of Iran Navy (IRIN), the blue-water force built for conventional combat, has been pummeled by American and Israeli strikes, although its submarine fleet remains viable. But that was never the force that mattered. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGCN), the asymmetric warfare specialists, remain intact, lethal, and purpose-built for exactly this confrontation. They do not seek to control the sea. They seek to deny it through swarming fast boats, drones, mini-submarines, coastal defenses, and the weapon that could easily neutralise the trillion-dollar carrier groups for the price of a used sedan: the naval mine.What follows is an anatomy of strategic failure which disects how the United States launched an illegal war against Iran without a coherent objective, how the Pentagon’s $800 billion annual budget produced “NO PLAN” for the scenario its own intelligence warned was “100% foreseeable,” and how a few thousand naval mines, descendants of the same devices that bled the British Navy at Gallipoli and stalled MacArthur’s landing craft at Wonsan, have brought twenty percent of global oil shipments to the edge of paralysis.Continue reading…Decentralizing Defense: A $96 Guided Rocket Just Put Precision Warfare into the Hands of the Peopleby Matt AgoristIn a world where the State spends trillions of dollars on bloated defense contracts to build “smart” weapons that often end up incinerating wedding parties or schools in the Middle East, a single individual with a 3D printer and $96 just shattered the monopoly on high-tech violence. A video, along with the plans, has recently surfaced showcasing “Project Canard,” an open-source, 3D-printed guided rocket system that recalculates its trajectory mid-air using a $5 sensor and some piano wire. The creator, operating under the GitHub handle novatic14, has essentially handed the keys to advanced surface-to-air defense to anyone with an internet connection and a spool of plastic filament.Continue reading…People Are Calling Meta Ray-Bans “Pervert Glasses”by Al Jazeera StaffThe United States-Israeli war on Iran is estimated to have cost Washington $3.7bn so far in its first 100 hours alone, or nearly $900m a day, driven largely by the huge expenditure of munitions, according to new research.An analysis by Washington-based think tank the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) underlined the colossal cost of the war, which entered its seventh day on Friday, as the US attacks Iran with stealth bombers and advanced weapons systems.list of 4 itemslist 1 of 4US says Iran missile attacks down 90% after strikes from B-2 bombersContinue reading…Greg Reese: An End of Empire (5 Minute Video)by Greg ReeseDespite having the world’s most powerful navy, the United States cannot force the Strait of Hormuz open, which every US military expert knew would be closed if Iran was attacked. This is why the US Navy is miles away. And it is why America’s NATO Allies are refusing to participate.The Iranians may have suffered the brutal Shock & Awe of the United States military, but they have been preparing for decades, and as the US is already running low on weapons, Iran has plans for a long term asymmetrical war, a defensive fight for their very existence. Iran has the moral high ground and they are holding practically all the cards.By his own admission, Trump expected a quick, decisive victory. He ignored warnings from experts, and instead, listened to his son-in-law Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes.Continue reading…US national debt breaches $39 trillion milestone for first time amid spending surgeBy Eric RevellRep. Jodey Arrington, R-Texas, explains how Fed Chair pick Kevin Warsh will restore integrity in the Federal Reserve on The Bottom Line.The U.S. national debt reached another historic milestone on Wednesday as it surpassed $39 trillion for the first time as the federal government’s persistent budget deficits send the debt soaring higher.New data from the Treasury Department released on Wednesday showed that the gross national debt reached $39,016,762,910,245.14 as of March 17.The $39 trillion milestone comes about five months after the national debt reached $38 trillion for the first time in late October 2025, which closely followed the $37 trillion milestone being surpassed just two months earlier in mid-August.Continue reading…How Musk is using Starlink to reshape the worldEtienne Note: Starlink is obviously a US Military communications system being used to help favored regimes and US-sponsored opposition groups in targeted countries while being sold to the public to subsidize the cost and privatize the profits to defense industry insiders who knew and understood the plan beforehand.by Ed Cumming. Eric WilliamsThe volatile, fast-moving US-Israeli attack on Iran has a very different character from the grinding war in Ukraine. From both conflicts, however, one development is increasingly clear: Starlink, Elon Musk’s satellite internet system, has become the most important strategic business on Earth.And Musk, who owns approximately 40 per cent of Starlink’s parent company, SpaceX, and controls 80 per cent of the voting rights, holds a level of geopolitical influence unprecedented for a corporate figure.“There is no real parallel [to Starlink],” says Alp Toker, director of NetBlocks, an independent global internet monitor. “There is probably no equivalent in modern history. You could argue people are equally dependent on AWS [Amazon Web Services, a cloud computing company] but it doesn’t have the same political aspect.”After months of slow Russian advances, Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, announced on Sunday that Ukraine had regained 168 square miles and thwarted a planned Russian offensive. “The spring campaign, as it had been planned, drowned in this spring for the Russians; they were unable to advance,” Zelensky told reporters.Continue reading…Damning study of over a million kids finds myocarditis only in the vaccinatedby Joseph MacKinnoniden administration officials and so-called experts characterized COVID-19 vaccines as “safe and effective” during the pandemic. In the face of an avalanche of tragic evidence to the contrary, the powers that be waged costly and unsuccessful propaganda and censorship campaigns to cure Americans’ skepticism.Although the Trump administration has alternatively acknowledged the risks and fallout associated with the vaccines — the Food and Drug Administration admitting, for instance, that the vaccines killed numerous children — a coalition of medical organizations is fighting to legally force the government to keep recommending the COVID jabs to healthy kids and pregnant women.That legal effort appears especially questionable given the finding in a recent study that children spared from the vaccine also appear to have been spared from an unfortunate health complication.Pericarditis and myocarditis appear to have been problems visited solely upon vaccinated kids.Continue reading…Kent Tells Tucker: ‘Imminent Threat’ Was From Israel, Not Iran; Ordered To Halt Charlie Kirk Investigationby Tyler DurdenJoe Kent, former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center who was President Trump’s principal counterterrorism advisor, appeared on Tucker Carlson’s show to explain his side of the story after stepping down from the administration.Kent announced his resignation Tuesday, citing his opposition to the ongoing U.S. war with Iran, and his belief that Iran posed “no imminent threat” to America – while asserting in his resignation letter that his wife died in “a war manufactured by Israel” in a 2019 suicide bombing in Manjbi, Syria.In this first public interview since resigning, Kent elaborated on his reasons amid reports emerging Wednesday that the FBI is investigating him for allegedly leaking or improperly sharing classified information (a probe that sources say predates his resignation and is being handled by the FBI’s Criminal Division, per several outlets).Early on in the interview, Carlson referenced Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s justification for the strikes – that Iran posed an imminent threat because Israel was preparing to attack Iranian targets, likely prompting Iranian retaliation against U.S. forces. Carlson reframed it bluntly:Continue reading…Upcoming Liberty EventsAn Evening with Etienne de la Boetie2 – Memphis, TN & Online – Get either a live or streaming ticket with sponsorship of the Art of Liberty Foundation at ArtOfLiberty.org/Sponsor OR ala carte tickets at ArtOfLiberty.org/StoreGreat Homeschool Convention – Ohio, Cincinnati, OH, US, April 9th – 11th, 2026Red Pill Friends April Tour ‘26, Black Mountain, NC; Bon Aqua, TN; Memphis, TN; Tulsa, OK & Bandera, TX, US, April 16th – 28th, 2026California’s Decline: A Warning to America, San Diego, CA, US, April 25th, 2026LibertyCon Europe, Madrid, Spain, April 24th – 26th, 2026The People vs Poison, Washington, D.C., US, April 27th, 2026Mid-Continent Liberty Festival, Spavinaw, OK, US, April 29th – May 4th, 2026Buenos Aires Anarchist Film Festival, Buenos Aires, Argentina, May 1st – 3rd, 2026Upstate Anarchist Book Fair, Binghamton, NY, US, May 2nd – 3rd, 2026Constellation Anarchist Festival, Montreal, Canada, May 14th – 20th, 202654th Annual Rainbow Gathering, Northern California, US, July 1st – 7th, 2026Midwest Peace & Liberty Fest, Lake Satoshi, MI, US, August 6th – 9th, 2026Liberty International World Conference, Kathmandu, Nepal, August 7th – 9th, 2026Northeast Unschooling Conference, Pittsfield, MA, US, August 15th – 18th, 2026International Conference for Anarchist Studies, Manchester, UK, August 26th – 28th, 2026Free Cities Conference, Roatan, Honduras, September 3rd – 6th, 2026VonuFest, Illinois, US, September 21st – 28th, 2026AnarCon, Gore, VA, US, September 25th – 27th, 2026An Evening with Etienne de la Boetie2 – Memphis, TN & Online – Get either a live or streaming ticket with sponsorship of the Art of Liberty Foundation at ArtOfLiberty.org/Sponsor OR ala carte tickets at ArtOfLiberty.org/StoreMemes BonanzaArtOfLiberty.org/white-roseTruth Music of the WeekAll the Love in the World (lyric video) – MC YOGIWhen your paths unclearAnd the night’s shadows drawing nearWhen your mind is clouded with fearCan’t see the roadDon’t know which way to steerPlease remember that you’re not alone.We’re all on this journey homeAll of us, everyone that you knowWe’re sending you all the love in the world.All the love, all the love, all the love in the worldAll the love, all the love, all the love in the worldAll the love, all the love, all the love in the worldAll the love, all the love, all the love in the worldAll the love in the worldAll the love in the worldAll the love in the worldDon’t be afraid it will be okayLove will always find a wayDon’t be afraid it will be okayLove will always find a wayWhen the time comes for us to goPlease know that you’re not aloneEven as the tears fall down from our eyesFor you and me there are no good byesSo be Be brave Love.You are strong.We all must make our journey homeMay the angels guide your every turnWe’re sending you, all the love in the worldlibertarian Intentional Community RoundupProspera Launches Lump Sum Tax Program for Digital NomadsEtienne Note: This article is being syndicated as part of a recurring column in our weekly newsletter Five Meme Friday: libertarian Intentional Community Roundup where we cover libertarian and voluntaryist intentional communities and free private cities including Prospera (Honduras), The Free State Project (New Hampshire), Liberstad (Norway), Montelibero (Montenegro), Los Propietarios, (Argentina), Liberland (Croatia/Serbia border), Network States in general and Sea Steading (The Oceans). I am also covering secession movements including Greater Idaho,Please send details of any new happenings, projects or projects I am missing!by The Prosperity PressFor globally mobile professionals who’ve legally exited their home country’s tax system, finding legitimate tax residency that fits how they actually live is genuinely hard. Próspera’s new Lump-Sum Tax Program was built for exactly that gap: a flat $5,000/year covering all income taxes under Próspera’s Tax Statute, with an officially issued Tax Residency Certificate backed by a real legal framework.The program is designed for people who are already tax-compliant and need a clear, stable residency structure.

+ Planet Mind Control – New Jason Christoff Documentary Exposes Subliminal Messages Hollywood Injects into Movies & TVEtienne Note: If the images aren’t visible, please try this browser LINK.Dear Subscribers,Big issue this week! Two important stories and a new documentary.This week we announced a new study showing the lifetime cost of fractional reserve banking on the average American and it is EXPLOSIVE! The backstory is that I collaborated with a friend of mine who is a quant on Wall Street. A former Managing Director and portfolio manager at one of the “Big Six” investment banking houses. We figured out how to structure a study and then let the Claude and Grok AI models do all the research and math using the Federal Reserve and Bureau of Labor Statistics own numbers. The results are ASTONISHING. The Fed’s crooked monetary system costs the average worker ($60K a year) around $938,000 over the course of a 40-year career not counting the confiscatory taxes stolen through “government” OR the death and estate taxes that will be stolen at the end of their life. At $120,000 the theft rises to over $2,000,000 over the 40 years. For High-Earners making over $250,000 it rises to over $4,400,000!But it is actually much worse than that… The initial analysis was done vs. a neutral monetary system using the Fed’s laughable 2% inflation target. When compared to our historical gold standard that was benignly deflationary… I.E. costs were falling around 1% per year… the theft essentially doubles! It becomes $1.89 Million for the average worker, $3.9M if you are making $120K a year, and $8.4 M at $250K a year. BUT wait… It’s actually worse… Because, again, both analysis are using the Bureau of Labor Statistics 2% inflation target which they routinely miss AND appear to be purposely understating using a variety of statistical sleight-of-hand tricks that we break down in the study. If you use popular alternative CPI calculations from Shadow Stats and/or the Chapwood Index the theft balloons by 3-5X!Where is this money going? It is accruing to the money center banks and their private “Federal Reserve” which backstops and enables the widespread fractional reserve banking, the “Primary Dealers” that we believe have been puppeting the “government” from behind the scenes to “legalize” the theft and force the public through legal tender laws to accept the fiat paper tickets and digital dollars the banks create out of thin air. The study estimates the banks have received over $21 TRILLION dollars since 1913 when the Federal Reserve Act was passed. That buys a lot of politicians, newspapers, radio stations, and movie studios to institutionalize and censor the theft.Similar to the CDC’s refusal to test vaccinated vs. unvaccinated populations if they were really concerned concerned about protecting kids, this is the study the Fed and Treasury should have done if “government” was really about helping and protecting the population vs. robbing and enslaving them.Just in time for Sunday night movie night, we are syndicating Jason Christoff’s new documentary Planet Mind Control which breaks down the hidden content that Hollywood in subliminally injecting into movies and tell-a-vision programming. While Jason covers the “Big Three” of Coffee, Alcohol and Beta-Male programming…I make the case in my article that the product placement of statism and nationalism might be tied. I include a short 8 minute video in the article showing an astonishing 469 product placements” of the American flag in just 12 Michael Bay movies as an example of one of the unethically manipulative techniques I break down in my book: To See the Cage is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many. Jason breaks down the science and behavioral psychology of how the repetitive product placement of toxic alcohol, coffee, beta-male programming, and statism influence the average person’s desire to fit into the (artificially created!) “tribe.”Finally, in libertarian Intentional Community Roundup, I am launching a crowd-sourced investigation into the Free State PARTY… A well-funded “Pro-Right Wing, Pro-Nationalist, and Pro-Patriot” effort that looks to divide and conquer the Free State PROJECT the same way that Dick Armey and Sarah Palin co-opted the small (l) libertarian Tea Party movement into the Republican Party.We are about to kick-off our 2026 sponsorship campaign to help us publicize our study on the theft of Fractional Reserve Banking. If you want to get a little payback and help expose the criminals who have robbed you for millions, we could use a couple of “heavy hitters” to help us anchor the campaign. Please email me at Etienne (at) ArtOfLiberty.org if you can help in a big way. We have some great perks to say THANK YOU! including a copy of the new 5.5 version of “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed! which we are about to announce this week… but are secretly shipping now… Shhh… Along with a ticket (in-person OR virtual) to our March 26th Memphis, TN event: An Evening with Etienne de la Boetie2 (also to be officially announced this week…shhh). All this can be yours… IF… You support the Art of Liberty Foundation as a annual sponsor at:ArtOfLiberty.org/SponsorTop Stories of the WeekHow the Bank Stole $2 Million From Every Working American — LegallyBy Etienne de la Boetie2, Founder of the Art of Liberty Foundation, Anthropic’s Claude, and XAI’s Grok (Bitch-ass CIA Google Gemini refused to even speculate on our premise that fractional reserve banking was a criminal enterprise… I didn’t trust Open AI’s ChatGPT enough to even ask)Grok Vs Claude – How much has fractional reserve banking extracted from societyin the US and globally from 1913 – 2025and how much have the organized crime banks stolen through the process.Executive Summary – The organized crime banks appeared to have lobbied and bribed the “government” (and potentially installed and propagandized/indoctrinated/normalized a federal “government” in the United States) to allow them to engage in a financial scheme known as fractional reserve banking where they are allowed to create money out of thin air and loan it at interest even though the process is inflationary and steals the value of the money earned and saved by everyone else.Continue reading…Videos of the WeekPlanet Mind Control – Documentary on What Hollywood is Inserting Subliminally into Movies and TVJason Christoff Exposes How Organized Crime Hollywood Runs Mind Control on the PopulationJason Christoff’s new documentary Planet Mind Control exposes how modern society is submerged in a mind control system designed by ruling groups to undermine human sovereignty. Utilizing the “monkey see, monkey do” psychology, mainstream media and film act as vehicles for subconscious imprints or repetitive suggestions that shape behavior without conscious detection. The documentary breaks down how the subconscious processes millions of pieces of data per second and does not distinguish between reality and fiction, allowing media content to function as a direct download program into our psyche.A primary pillar of this manipulation is the normalization of toxic substances, specifically alcohol and toxic coffee. Alcohol is presented as an accepted ritual of self-destruction, while coffee is identified as the number one media programming tool in Hollywood. Christoff argues that coffee acts as the modern-day “Soma”—the social control drug described by Aldous Huxley—causing a reduction in blood flow and oxygen to the brain by up to 40%. This state of “slow-drip brain starvation” makes the population more docile, anxious, and easier to govern.Continue Reading and Watch the Documentary HereThe Death of Durability: Why Everything is Built to Rotby Industrial DecayLook at the skyline of New York City in 1930. You see steel beams. You see stone. You see rivets the size of your fist. Now look at the house being built down the street from you todayYou see glued sawdust. You see plastic pipes. And you see vinyl siding that will crack in ten years. You are not crazy. The physical world around you really is getting flimsierIn 1960, when you bought a house, a truck, or a tool, you were buying an asset. In 2026, you were buying a subscription to a landfill. In this investigation, we are going to expose the material treason that has hollowed out the American economy. We are going to show you exactly how steel was replaced by plastic, how old growth timber was replaced by fast food lumber, and why the concept of heirloom quality has been erased from the dictionary. This is the forensic anatomy of the disposable era.Continue reading…How Iran Plans to Bankrupt America – Prof. Jiang Xueqinby Prof Jiang MediaA new era of warfare is quietly reshaping global power—and it is being driven not by billion-dollar weapons systems, but by cheap drones and structural vulnerabilities. In this lecture, Prof. Jiang Xueqin examines how low-cost technologies like Iran’s Shahed drones are exposing the economic and strategic weaknesses of traditional military doctrine. When a $50,000 drone can force a defender to fire multiple $1 million missiles, the economics of war itself becomes inverted. According to Jiang, this asymmetry reveals deeper problems inside modern defense bureaucracies, where legacy Cold War thinking, expensive weapons platforms, and institutional incentives often produce systems designed more for prestige and spending than for resilience or adaptability on the battlefield.Continue reading…“Government”, Media and AcademiaCriminality ExposedThese articles also appears in “Government”, Media and Academia Criminality Exposed, A digest of HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of articles exposing and suggesting inter-generational organized crime’s control of the “Government,” Media and Academia by the Art of Liberty Foundation.

The first product to showcase this, the Hakkapeliitta 01 tire, has embedded studs that automatically engage with the road at low temperatures to improve traction, and retract into the compound when it’s warmer out. The brand says this is the first tire on the market with a feature like this.That means you don’t have to change tires according to the seasons or bother with tire chains. Plus, your tire studs won’t needlessly damage road surfaces when there’s no ice to bite into. In fact, Nokian says this tech makes for up to 30% less road wear and 10% greater ice grip compared to the company’s own flagship Hakkapeliitta 10 tires.Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta 01: This is how we did itContinue reading…High schools are losing the struggle to block pot—even during classby Andrea PetersenBRENTWOOD, Calif.—It was 10:09 and 22 seconds on a Friday morning at Liberty High School when an alert dinged on James Geis’s phone: “High Vape Index.”He dashed out of the administrative building and jumped into a golf cart, racing across the school’s sprawling campus to the location identified in the alert, the “E” girls’ bathroom. Within minutes he was outside the door.A girl walked out. “Can I talk to you? Was there anyone else in there with you?” said Geis, one of the school’s campus supervisors tasked with combating marijuana use—or what many Liberty students call “narcs.”Two more girls walked out. Geis told the students that a vape sensor went off. “What would happen if I ran?” one said.Continue reading…Understanding Blood Pressure in a Healthy Wayby A Midwestern DoctorStory at a Glance:•Blood pressure diagnoses have exploded as guidelines repeatedly lower thresholds, resulting in half of American adults now being “hypertensive” despite minimal evidence justifying this, and erroneous diagnoses frequently occurring.•Despite aggressively treating it, medicine still does not know what causes high blood pressure. As a result, it overlooks that impaired circulation elevates blood pressure and attributes the ensuing damage to “high” blood pressure rather than to insufficient blood flow to the tissues.•Excessively low BP from over-treatment is dangerous, increasing risks of fainting, falls (especially in the elderly), kidney injury, cognitive decline, ischemic strokes, and mortality.Continue reading…Ubermensch: Eight Years of Jeffrey Epstein’s Human Cloning Program, Documentedby Sayer JiPart 14 of The Epstein Files SeriesView and share the X thread dedicated to this story.In July 2019, weeks before his death, the New York Times published an account that stunned the scientific community. Jeffrey Epstein, the paper reported, had for years confided to scientists and associates his desire to seed the human race with his own DNA. The Times documented his aspirations as dinner party conversation and found no evidence they had ever come to fruition.Twenty-four federal exhibits from the January 2026 DOJ EFTA release tell a more complete story. They document not a sudden obsession but a sustained, eight-year private pursuit: active correspondence with George Church — one of the world’s most prominent geneticists — as early as November 2011; a 2014 exchange with a major healthcare executive who asked casually for “cloning updates”; the circulation of Church’s transhumanist writings under the subject line “my friend george” in 2015; and then, beginning in July 2018, a fully operational investment relationship with a biohacker running an overseas surgical laboratory, toward a company whose stated objectives included the first live birth of a human designer baby or human clone within five years.Continue reading…Build Strength Using the 3-by-5 Protocolby Dr. Joseph MercolaStrength loss, not poor cardio fitness, is often why everyday tasks feel exhausting and stressful as you age, even if you stay activeStrength training supports far more than muscle, helping stabilize mood, sharpen thinking, protect bones, and improve how your body handles daily physical demandsThe 3-by-5 protocol simplifies strength training by focusing on a small number of exercises, short sessions and adequate rest so you can build strength without burnoutLong rest periods between sets are essential for maintaining strength and coordination, allowing your nervous system to recover and making each set more effectiveContinue reading…Corporate Media Go All Out To Support The US-Israeli War on Iranby Alan Macleod MPN.news“Corporate media of all stripes have rushed to support the U.S./Israeli attack on Iran, throwing objectivity and accuracy by the wayside in order to manufacture consent for regime change.On February 28, the U.S. and Israel launched a joint attack on Iran, bombing cities across the country, assassinating its supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, and openly stating their goal was overthrowing the government.Despite this, media have gone out of their way to present the actions as the U.S. protecting itself, describing them as “defensive strikes,” and to frame Iran as the aggressor. “Iran chooses chaos” ran the headline of the New York Times’ newsletter, portraying the Islamic Republic as the primary actor.The Free Press used similarly Orwellian concepts. “War is Iranians’ best chance at peace,” presenting U.S./Israeli crimes as an act of mercy on its long-suffering population.Continue reading…Conscientious Objector Group: Phone ‘Ringing Off Hook’ As Huge Mobilization Underwayby Tyler DurdenAn 80-year-old nonprofit that advises conscientious objectors says its phone is “ringing off the hook” as American service members who object to the US-and-Israel-initiated war on Iran are seeking guidance on how to avoid being a part of it. Ominously, the group’s executive director says the breadth of force mobilization is much like the run-up to the ground invasion of Iraq.“Phone has been ringing off the hook,” wrote Center on Conscience & War executive director Mike Prysner on X. “A LOT more units have just been activated for deployment than the public knows about.” Founded in 1940, the Center on Conscience and War provides guidance to military service members pursuing a conscientious objector (CO) status or a discharge. The group also opposes military conscription.In a post on the group’s account, the Center said it received a call from someone who is on deployment orders and who “reports widespread opposition to Iran War within their unit…In particular, they conveyed disgust at the US massacre of the girls’ school as well as the attack on the Iranian frigate in international waters.”The US military is reportedly responsible for killing some 150 schoolgirls in Minab, Iran during the opening of the war. In another incident, a US Navy submarine torpedoed an Iranian ship that was departing a largely ceremonial naval event in India that involved 18 countries. Compounding the controversy over sinking a lightly-armed vessel 2,000 miles from the war theater, the Americans apparently left surviving sailors to drown in a violation of the Geneva Convention — that is, a war crime. At least 87 died.Continue reading…The Humble Fruit That Delivers 10 Powerful Health Benefits — and Most People Aren’t Eating Enough of Itby Dr. Joseph MercolaEating 2.5 to 3 pounds of watermelon daily provides 51 to 80 mg of lycopene — well above the 10 to 30 mg therapeutic threshold linked to reduced cancer risk, cardiovascular protection, and skin defense against UV damageWatermelon is 92% water, delivering roughly 1 liter of slow-absorbing, electrolyte-accompanied hydration that your body retains more efficiently than plain drinking waterThe citrulline in watermelon converts to arginine, boosting nitric oxide production for improved blood flow, lower blood pressure, and enhanced exercise performanceFruit is one of the most important ways to get potassium into your body, and watermelon is one of the easiest and most practical vehicles for doing so consistentlyContinue reading…BREAKING STUDY: COVID-19 “Vaccine” mRNA and Spike Protein Invade the Human Placenta and Fetal Cells—Even in Mothers Vaccinated Before Pregnancyby Nicolas Hulscher, MPHA newly published peer-reviewed study in PLOS One has identified spike protein and vaccine-derived mRNA within human placental tissues following COVID-19 vaccination and/or infection.Researchers analyzed placentas from 106 pregnancies using immunohistochemistry and RNAscope molecular assays to detect spike protein, nucleocapsid protein, and vaccine-specific mRNA sequences. The findings revealed that spike protein was present in 29% of all placentas studied, including 37% of placentas from vaccinated mothers who had no documented COVID-19 infection during pregnancy.In many cases, spike protein was detected within Hofbauer cells—fetal immune macrophages inside the placenta—as well as trophoblast cells and endothelial cells lining fetal capillaries, demonstrating uptake of spike protein within fetal-side placental structures.Importantly, the dataset also includes cases in which spike protein and vaccine mRNA was detected in placentas from mothers vaccinated before pregnancy and without documented infection.Continue reading…Trump Signed a Directive to Accelerate 6G Deployment to Operate “Implantable Technologies”Nicolas Hulscher, MPHA few months ago, President Trump signed a directive to accelerate 6G deployment, with a stated goal to operate “implantable technologies.”Nokia’s CEO said that by 2030 “smartphones will be implanted directly into our bodies” as 6G becomes fully operational:This will likely involve a newly developed AI brain implant known as the Biological Interface System to Cortex (BISC) developed by teams at Columbia University, New York-Presbyterian Hospital, Stanford University, and the University of Pennsylvania:Continue reading…Lights, Camera, Iranby MorganWars have always depended on two things: an enemy and an audience. The Iran situation has both in abundance and very little else that withstands serious scrutiny.On February 28, 2026, U.S. and Israeli forces launched Operation Epic Fury — coordinated strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, military infrastructure, and senior IRGC leadership, culminating in the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Within days, it was suggested that Iran had effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz — not through a formal naval blockade, but through drone strikes and radio warnings severe enough that insurers stopped covering the passage and commercial transits collapsed from 120 vessels per day to 26.Global energy markets lurched.21,000 flights were cancelled.Continue reading…Keir Starmer apologises to Israel for noticing Israel carried out a false flag on RAF Akrotiriby Normal Island NewsBritish Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has been forced into a grovelling apology after mistakenly noticing that Israel had carried out a false flag operation against the UK. The drone incident at RAF Akrotiri followed a series of explosions on oil facilities from Saudi Arabia to the UAE that could not be traced back to Iran.Blasts on sites like Saudi Aramco’s Ras Tanura refinery and Qatar’s LNG operations had sent global energy prices soaring. Naturally, we blamed Iran for the looming recession, but when officials denied attacks they should be gloating about, it was clear our propaganda wasn’t adding up. What do you mean—and not for the first time?The problems worsened when UAE investigators uncovered a Mossad cell operating in the shadows of Dubai’s glittering skyline. In a shocking outburst of antisemitism, Dubai announced it had caught Israelis red-handed with “blueprints” for further bombings. Their aim was to trick Gulf nations into attacking Iran, who would then send rockets their way instead of towards Israel. These allegations echoed claims from Tucker Carlson, regarding Saudi Arabia and Qatar.Israel was so incensed by the foiling of its latest plot that it has vowed to assassinate several Western influencers as punishment—a threat that has warmed many Brits to the Zionist cause, but may finish Dubai’s tourism industry. What do you mean—every cloud has a silver lining?Continue reading…A History in 4 Psy-Ops: Has Iran ALWAYS Been a Member of the Club?by Kit Knightlyhen the war with Iran officially began on Saturday, I annoyed quite a few people by replying to James Delingpole on twtter with this comment:I stand by it. In fact I can amplify it.There’s ample evidence to show we’re already living in the post-nation age, and this was made explicitly clear by the Covid “pandemic”. Iran’s vital, early role in the Covid operation is one of the facts that most strongly requires us to be cautious about the current war narrative , but it’s a development that likely predates that era-defining psy-op.In fact, I would argue that an examination of the recent history of Iran shows that they have consistently taken part in psy-ops and media narratives, and that this demonstrates collusion with Western governments and indeed the globalist factions therein.Continue reading…The Great Poisoningby Lionel Mandrake, WorldlyturningsI had a bad dream that our POTUS decided to help along our genocide by passing a law that required every farm in America to apply massive doses of Glyphosate to increase crop yields. Incredibly, this would be justified as yet another “National Security Issue.” I woke up in a cold sweat, and slowly recovered. Then, back in the real world, I turned on the news from the Trump White House. Donald Trump just did an Executive Order to boost worldwide usage of Glyphosate, otherwise known as Round Up.When I grew up in the 1960s, we had food safety organizations like the USDA and FDA that were the envy of the Western World. I sat through “assemblies” in elementary school where the entire student body gathered in the Lunch Room/Auditorium to watch 16mm movies about living in America and the jobs we could dream about. As I was more interested in space and technology than chemistry, sitting through a Government sponsored film on how food goes from the farm to the table was a task. But anything to keep me from the classroom was good, even a film paid for by Uncle Sam.Even as a precocious kid whose attention span would today make me a candidate for a cornucopia of drugs, I did take away through some sort of osmosis that America was not only the “breadbasket” of the world, but had the safest foods in the world. And, throughout most of the 20th century we arguably had the highest food safety standards.Promoting love of country (and our great American “Know How”) was what those government sponsored films were all about. But things changed in the 1980s when a company started a crop revolution to increase yields, first with soybeans and then corn.Continue reading…Don’t Even Get Me Started on ‘Climate Change’by Christopher CookIt’s #MemeMonday, but we’re going to mix things up today. Instead of memes (pictures with important messages), we will post some charts with another important message:It’s a hoax. A scam. A grift. A racket.It is designed to criminalize your very existence.It is designed to warm us up (get it?) to being crammed into 15-minute cities. Ultimately, it will be used to justify reducing the human population.Continue reading…The Butyrate-GLP-1 Connection: Unlocking Satiety, Energy, and Inflammation Controlby Dr. Joseph MercolaButyrate fuels the gut cells (L-cells) that produce GLP-1, a natural hormone that helps regulate appetite, blood sugar, and metabolismYour gut can’t make butyrate without fiber, and modern diets contain far too little — just 16 grams a day compared to 100+ grams in traditional cultures. Low butyrate disrupts the body’s natural hunger regulation system, leading to inflammation, weight gain, mood issues, and metabolic breakdownRestoring butyrate is a natural way to activate GLP-1 — no injections or drugs required — by working with your body instead of bypassing it. My new book, “Weight Loss Cure; Melt Fat Naturally With Your Own GLP-1,” provides a step-by-step plan to rebuild butyrate production, restore natural GLP-1 signaling, and correct the root drivers of weight gainPharmaceutical GLP-1 agonists are marketed as breakthroughs, but they’re merely stand-ins for a system your body already perfected: GLP-1 secretion driven by butyrateContinue reading…Insiders Admit What Your Doctor Never Will: Modern Medicine Is a Fraudby Dr. Wojak, M.D.In a sane world, widespread fraud, rampant conflicts of interest, the corrupt peer review system, and the replication crisis would be enough to convince anyone that medical science is fundamentally untrustworthy. I break these issues down in detail in this article.But most people aren’t persuaded by evidence or logic. They’d rather let perceived experts dictate their beliefs for them—especially in medicine, where appeals to authority routinely crowd out independent judgment.This article is for them.What follows is a compilation of damning admissions from some of the most authoritative figures in medical science—top editors of the world’s most influential medical journals: The Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, The BMJ, JAMA, and more.Continue reading…Cost to US for war on Iran is $3.7bn in first 100 hours, says think tankby Al Jazeera StaffThe United States-Israeli war on Iran is estimated to have cost Washington $3.7bn so far in its first 100 hours alone, or nearly $900m a day, driven largely by the huge expenditure of munitions, according to new research.An analysis by Washington-based think tank the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) underlined the colossal cost of the war, which entered its seventh day on Friday, as the US attacks Iran with stealth bombers and advanced weapons systems.list of 4 itemslist 1 of 4US says Iran missile attacks down 90% after strikes from B-2 bombersContinue reading…Incinerated Children and Decimated Liberty: How the US War Machine Slaughters Foreigners to Build a Domestic Panopticonby Matt AgoristRandolph Bourne famously penned that war is the health of the State, a grim reality that has haunted the American populace for over eight decades. We are taught in state-funded schools that the military goes abroad to fight for our freedoms, yet every single conflict since the end of the Second World War has been explicitly used as a mechanism to systematically dismantle the liberties of the domestic population. Iran is no different, and in fact, may be much worse.Foreign emergencies are consistently the Trojan horses used by the ruling class to bypass constitutional constraints, normalize mass surveillance, and entirely erode the principles of liberty right here at home.The blueprint for the modern imperial presidency was drafted during the Korean conflict, a war that permanently altered the relationship between the executive branch and the limits of power. When Harry Truman decided to intervene in Korea, he completely bypassed Congress and Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, setting a dangerous precedent that the president could unilaterally commit the nation to bloodshed without a formal declaration of war. By framing it merely as a “police action” for the United Nations, Truman fundamentally shifted the war-making power into the hands of a single, unaccountable individual.Continue reading…AI Can Now Unmask Anonymous Internet Users, New Study Findsby Tyler DurdenIt looks like AI can now unmask any anonymous account on the internet. That’s according to a new study by Simon Lermen (MATS), Daniel Paleka (ETH Zurich), Joshua Swanson (ETH Zurich), Michael Aerni (ETH Zurich), Nicholas Carlini (Anthropic), and Florian Tramèr (ETH Zurich), published on arXiv.In the paper, “Large-Scale Online Deanonymization with LLMs,” the researchers show that modern large language models (LLMs) can re-identify people behind pseudonymous online accounts at a scale and accuracy that far surpass previous techniques.The core contribution is an automated deanonymization pipeline powered by LLMs, according to the new study. Instead of relying on structured datasets or hand-engineered features—like earlier attacks on the Netflix Prize dataset—the system works directly on raw, unstructured text.Given posts, comments, or interview transcripts written under a pseudonym, the pipeline extracts identity-relevant signals, searches for likely matches using semantic embeddings, and then uses higher-level reasoning to verify the most promising candidates while filtering out false positives. The result is a scalable attack that mirrors—and in some cases exceeds—the effectiveness of a dedicated human investigator.Continue reading…Vitamin B12 Deficiency is probably the commonest cause of dementia and probably the easiest to cureby Rhoda WilsonVitamin B12 deficiency is estimated to affect 3-5% of the population, with some suggesting it could be as high as 10%.Vitamin B12 deficiency is a condition that can cause physical and mental symptoms. Symptoms that are common with and are often misdiagnosed as Alzheimer’s disease or multiple sclerosis (“MS”).Many patients diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or MS could be cured with vitamin B12 injections, Dr. Vernon Coleman writes, but doctors often fail to test for vitamin B12 deficiency. Another factor in missing a vitamin B12 deficiency diagnosis is the pharmaceutical industry’s influence on the medical establishment. Vitamins are unpatented. Vitamins are not profitable to the pharmaceutical industry.Continue reading…‘Forever Chemicals’ Linked to Threefold Higher Liver Disease Risk in Adolescentsby Dr. Joseph MercolaPer- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also called “forever chemicals,” are found in drinking water, food packaging, cookware, and household products. They persist in the environment and build up in the bodyAn Environmental Research study found that higher blood levels of certain forever chemicals were linked to almost three times greater likelihood of fatty liver disease among adolescents in high-risk familiesThese findings show that adolescence is a sensitive window, as the liver is still adapting to growth and metabolic changes, allowing chemical exposures to influence liver fat storage and long-term disease riskMicroplastics serve as carriers for PFAS, transporting them deep into tissues. Research shows that combined exposure to microplastics and PFAS causes greater damage than either pollutant aloneContinue reading…Why Mercury Dental Fillings Persist in Public Health Systemsby Dr. Joseph MercolaMercury-based dental fillings have largely disappeared from private dental offices but remain common in public systems where patients have the least ability to refuse themThese fillings persist not because they’re safer or more effective, but because insurance coverage and institutional defaults still favor mercury as the cheapest optionChildren, pregnant women, low-income families, incarcerated individuals, and military populations receive a disproportionate share of mercury fillings due to limited choiceMercury from dental fillings releases vapor over time, leading to ongoing exposure that places developing brains and sensitive tissues at higher riskContinue reading…How Will We Protect Children in a Free Society?by Christopher CookWon’t someone please think of the children?—Helen LovejoyThis quote from the somewhat judgmental wife of The Simpsons character Reverend Lovejoy is broadly recognizable and has even become, for some, culturally iconic. It lampoons the spirit of demagoguery and moral preening that so often accompanies political discourse, and is thus an entirely justifiable piece of social commentary.There is, however, an area of political discourse in which raising the question of children makes sense and poses an important challenge: self-government.When discussing how a free society—that is, a society without involuntary governance and forcibly imposed ‘social contracts’—might work, children are always a complicating factor. Those who advocate for such a society believe that the freedom and consent of individuals should be respected. Yet difficulties arise when applying this principle to children.Continue reading…Canadian Government Begins Euthanizing Public with ‘Same-Day’ Lethal Injectionsby Frank BergmanThe Canadian government has begun ramping up the nation’s disturbing “assisted suicide” program after official data revealed that thousands of citizens have been euthanized with state-sanctioned lethal injections within 24 hours.Canada’s taxpayer-funded euthanasia program is drawing renewed scrutiny after a new report found that the government has already been quietly performing thousands of same-day “assisted suicides.”The revelations come as Canada continues expanding its Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) system, a program critics warn is rapidly transforming the country’s approach to healthcare, disability, and end-of-life care.A new report found that the MAiD program has already carried out thousands of same-day euthanasia procedures.Continue reading…New AI Model Lets Farm Robots Identify Weeds – Then Kill Them With Lasersby ZOHAIB AHMEDYou’ve probably heard about large language models, those sophisticated AI systems that power all chatbots today. Get ready for Large Plant Models (LPMs). Developed by Carbon Robotics, a Seattle-based agricultural technology company, it’s essentially an AI model trained on over 150 million labeled plants for the goal of recognizing basically any weed in any field of the planet. Computer vision is fast emerging as a transformative tech in farming — another startup company recently used the tech in mushroom-picking robots.The LPMs will power LaserWeeders, the company’s fleet of four-wheeled, autonomous robots that literally laser weeds to death. It’s a novel technique that’s being touted as more efficient than the traditional method of spraying herbicides, which can disturb the soil and damage crops. You can say the lasers are spiritually similar to Harbor Freight’s weed burner tool, except they work a lot faster.While LaserWeeders have been around for over three years now, the new software is set to significantly upgrade their capabilities. Previously, every time a new type of weed showed up on a farm, or even the same weed looked slightly different because of the soil or weather, Carbon Robotics had to create fresh data labels and retrain its machines. That took around 24 hours each time, according to CEO Paul Mikesell. Of course, the problem is now a thing of the past.Continue reading…Simplicius: Iran Cows US Navy into Submission in Hormuz Standoffby SimpliciusThe biggest story of the day is that Iran has muscled its way into both cowing and overpowering the US Navy into submission in the Strait of Hormuz.But first, let’s back up a little bit and acknowledge that the IRGC appears to have went fully “to the mattresses” in this war. They are no longer playing games, and no longer willing to compromise. They have gained momentum and achieved military, political, and propaganda initiative and are now pushing their advantage.All day there have been various reports that it is now the US side secretly attempting to sway Iran—via intermediaries—toward coming back to the negotiations table, now that the US has recognized the disaster of its own making that is unfolding across the region.According to these reports, Iran has brusquely blown off all such attempts to negotiate and has doubled down into all out conflict. Iran’s leaders appear to have recognized much the same thing as the Russians did during the course of the Ukraine war: that a ‘temporary’ ceasefire is a useless exercise for giving your enemy breathing room to restock and reload for Round 2 against you.Continue reading…Iranian oil is getting through the strait, while no one else is able to traverse it.by Meryl NassContinue reading…26 Reasons You Should Start a Garden in 2026by Gavin MounseyI want to remind you that you are capable of co-creating wonderful things on this Earth when you choose to learn from the Creator’s design and use your gifts in service of life and Creation. You did not arrive here by accident, your life is a gift from God, it is intentional, it is brimming with potential and it has meaning. When you hold a handful of heirloom seeds in your hand and look upon the fertile living earth, what you are witnessing is the invitation from the Creator to put your human gifts to good use for the benefit of all beings.Planting a seed in the living earth is a prayer and an act of faith in hope for tomorrow. It says “Thank You God for this opportunity to know your work and thank you to the Living Earth for providing all we need to live. I want to give back in gratitude for these gifts”.Some of the most beautiful gifts that embody the spirit of hope, kindness, joy and good will are those gifts that you arrived with when you chose to come to this world and live the human life you are living now. These gifts are inside you, they are unique to you and you possess them so that you can engage in the sacred task of sharing those gifts with this world.When you take time to look inward, discover your unique gifts and then imagine a way you can use your gifts to nurture other beings to achieve their highest potential, give back to the living planet that gives to much to us and create things that express the essence of your spirit manifested in physical form and/or poetry for the senses, you are giving the most valuable gifts in this universe. No one else can share the same gifts that you can (in the same way you have the potential to share them with).Continue reading…Rise of the AI Soldiersby Charlie CampbellSAN FRANCISCO — The Phantom MK-1 looks the part of an AI soldier. Encased in jet black steel with a tinted glass visor, it conjures a visceral dread far beyond what may be evoked by your typical humanoid robot. And on this late February morning, it brandishes assorted high-powered weaponry: a revolver, pistol, shotgun, and replica of an M-16 rifle.“We think there’s a moral imperative to put these robots into war instead of soldiers,” says Mike LeBlanc, a 14-year Marine Corps veteran with multiple tours of Iraq and Afghanistan, who is a co-founder of Foundation, the company that makes Phantom. He says the aim is for the robot to wield “any kind of weapon that a human can.”Today, Phantom is being tested in factories and dockyards from Atlanta to Singapore. But its headline claim is to be the world’s first humanoid robot specifically developed for defense applications. Foundation already has research contracts worth a combined $24 million with the U.S. Army, Navy, and Air Force, including what’s known as an SBIR Phase 3, effectively making it an approved military vendor. It’s also due to begin tests with the Marine Corps “methods of entry” course, training Phantoms to put explosives on doors to help troops breach sites more safely.In February, two Phantoms were sent to Ukraine—initially for frontline-reconnaissance support. But Foundation is also preparing Phantoms for potential deployment in combat scenarios for the Pentagon, which “continues to explore the development of militarized humanoid prototypes designed to operate alongside war fighters in complex, high-risk environments,” says a spokesman. LeBlanc says the company is also in “very close contact” with the Department of Homeland Security about possible patrol functions for Phantom along the U.S. southern border.Continue reading…Consumers paid for Trump’s illegal tariffs. These companies may profit.by Rebecca Crosby and Noel SimsPresident Trump imposed sweeping global tariffs during his first year as president. To justify many of the tariffs, Trump relied on a novel interpretation of a 1977 law, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), which did not mention tariffs at all. But in February, the Supreme Court struck down the majority of Trump’s tariffs, ruling 6-3 that Trump had exceeded his authority. The court found that Trump’s tariffs were unconstitutional, as “taxation power clearly belongs to Congress.”In recent months, thousands of companies have sued the Trump administration over its tariff policies, seeking refunds for tariff-related costs.The Supreme Court did not discuss refunds in its ruling. But at the beginning of March, Judge Richard Eaton of the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled that companies that paid tariffs were “entitled to benefit” from the Supreme Court ruling. The order directed U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to begin the refund process and to stop collecting the tariffs that were struck down. (The judge later “temporarily suspended his order to give the government time to prepare” after CBP said in an affidavit that “immediate compliance was not logistically possible,” Bloomberg reported. CBP estimated that it could start offering refunds by late April.)The federal government could now be responsible for issuing “refunds worth $175 billion,” according to the Penn Wharton Budget Model.Continue reading…X Users Find Their Real Names Are Being Googled in Israel After Using X Verification Software “Au10tix”by Alan Macleod MPN.newsAwide range of anonymous X (Twitter) users have reported that their real names are suddenly being Googled in Israel shortly after they began criticizing the country for its actions in Palestine. Some connected the phenomenon to Au10tix, the software X requires users (even anonymous ones) to use in order to verify their real identities.Au10tix is an Israeli company founded and staffed by former Israeli spies from the elite Israeli military intelligence group Unit 8200. MintPress News investigates this disturbing phenomenon.“I’m not even kidding when I say my full legal name, including my middle name, has been searched up in Israel 11 times in the past day,” wrote TransFemPOTUS, an anonymous X user who has been highly critical of Israel’s actions.This was not an isolated incident. “So apparently my full legal name got searched for in Israel the other day,” revealed TheAtlantean9, an anonymous far-left user with a Palestinian flag in their bio.Continue reading…Giant 10-person ‘flying taxi’ passes first flight test in China | Live ScienceBy Alan BradleyA Chinese company successfully flew a 5-ton (4,536-kilogram) electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOL) in a new feat for electric aircraft. Its makers at Fengfei Aviation claim it’s the largest eVTOL to ever complete a test flight.During the test flight, the V5000 aircraft lifted off in VTOL mode, switched to fixed-wing mode for a short flight, and then transitioned back to VTOL mode to safely land. VTOL vehicles mimic helicopters, enabling them to lift off and land on helipads or in other smaller spaces without requiring supporting infrastructure, such as the runways used by fixed-wing aircraft.The test took place Feb. 5 at Kunshan Civil Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Test Flight Operation Base in Jiangsu Province, a site Fengfei Aviation uses for public demos and AP press flights.There are several variants of the aircraft — a purely electric version can reach 155 miles (250 kilometers), and a hybrid-power alternative can fly for 932 miles (1,500 km), company representatives said in a statement posted to LinkedIn.Continue reading…Upcoming Liberty EventsVancouver West Anarchist Book Fair, Vancouver, BC, Canada, March 19th – 20th, 2026Great Homeschool Convention – South Carolina, Greenville, SC, US, March 19th – 21st, 2026Austrian Economics Research Conference, Auburn, AL, US, March 19th – 21st, 2026Austin Anarchist Book Fair, Austin, TX, US, March 21, 2026An Evening with Etienne de la Boetie2 – Memphis, TN & Online – Get either a live or streaming ticket with sponsorship of the Art of Liberty Foundation at ArtOfLiberty.org/Sponsor OR ala carte tickets at ArtOfLiberty.org/StoreGreat Homeschool Convention – Ohio, Cincinnati, OH, US, April 9th – 11th, 2026LibertyCon Europe, Madrid, Spain, April 24th – 26th, 2026Mid-Continent Liberty Festival, Spavinaw, OK, US, April 29th – May 4th, 2026Buenos Aires Anarchist Film Festival, Buenos Aires, Argentina, May 1st – 3rd, 2026Upstate Anarchist Book Fair, Binghamton, NY, US, May 2nd – 3rd, 2026Constellation Anarchist Festival, Montreal, Canada, May 14th – 20th, 202654th Annual Rainbow Gathering, Northern California, US, July 1st – 7th, 2026Midwest Peace & Liberty Fest, Lake Satoshi, MI, US, August 6th – 9th, 2026Liberty International World Conference, Kathmandu, Nepal, August 7th – 9th, 2026Northeast Unschooling Conference, Pittsfield, MA, US, August 15th – 18th, 2026International Conference for Anarchist Studies, Manchester, UK, August 26th – 28th, 2026Free Cities Conference, Roatan, Honduras, September 3rd – 6th, 2026VonuFest, Illinois, US, September 21st – 28th, 2026AnarCon, Gore, VA, US, September 25th – 27th, 2026An Evening with Etienne de la Boetie2 – Memphis, TN & Online – Get either a live or streaming ticket with sponsorship of the Art of Liberty Foundation at ArtOfLiberty.org/Sponsor OR ala carte tickets at ArtOfLiberty.org/StoreMemes BonanzaTruth Music of the WeekTruth Music Video: Dub FX & Woodnote: Come Again Feat.

Bob wants to promote what he’s calling a “universal vaccine” that supposedly mimics natural immunity.Let that sink in for a moment. If the point is to mimic natural immunity… why not simply rely on oh, I don’t know…actual natural immunity??In a press concert, Bob proudly announced:“We’re developing a universal vaccine at NIH that addresses the entire phylum of viruses.”Yes, he loves big, technical-sounding words. And sure enough, some people hear those and immediately assume he must be smarter than they are. I’d use a different word than “smart,” but I digress…Remember when he made headlines about canceling $500 million in mRNA vaccine contracts? Many people cheered, thinking the government was finally stepping away from vaccine funding.Wrong. (read my substack about that here.)That $500 million is being taken out of one pocket and stuffed right back into the other—still for vaccine development, but less of the mRNA kind. Why? Because the term “mRNA” is now toxic. It’s a red flag. It’s too obvious. Too many people either experienced harm or know someone who did.So the plan is a rebrand. A bait-and-switch. Instead of mRNA, expect new vaccine methods like oral vaccines, nasal vaccines, transdermal patches, micro-needle tech, plant-based vaccines, electroporation, and other DNA injections. That’s in the pipeline, friends.Keep Reading…Epstein-Rothschild Connection Key to Exposing the Deep Stateby Alex NewmanChild sex trafficker and Deep State operative Jeffrey Epstein was deeply connected to the unfathomably wealthy and powerful Rothschild banking dynasty, perhaps the most important money men for the Insiders, explains The New American magazine’s Alex Newman in this explosive episode of Behind The Deep State. Understanding this connection is critical to unravelling the real story.According to documents released by the Department of Justice, Epstein was paid tens of millions of dollars by Rothschild entities for “the Work.”In fact, Epstein referred to himself as a “representative” of the powerful banking dynasty in emails to Big Tech leaders such as Peter Thiel. In recent testimony, billionaire Les Wexner, an Epstein “co-conspirator” according to the FBI, confirmed it too.The relationship was much closer than “just” business, too. In fact, Ariane de Rothschild, CEO of the Rothschild Group, shares intimate details of her marriage, family squabbles, and more with Epstein. In an email from Epstein, he touts an upcoming visit the two were planning to take in Cuba, hosted by the mass-murdering Castro dynasty enslaving the island.The Rothschild dynasty has been at the center of the plot to create a global political and economic system for centuries. Indeed, they funded much better-known Deep State minions such as George Soros and Cecil Rhodes. Don’t miss this incredible exposure of Epstein and one of the most prominent and influential families making up what Newman describes as the Deep State Behind The Deep State.Continue reading…“Government”, Media and AcademiaCriminality ExposedThese articles also appears in “Government”, Media and Academia Criminality Exposed, A digest of HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of articles exposing and suggesting inter-generational organized crime’s control of the “Government,” Media and Academia by the Art of Liberty Foundation.

According to the statement, the incident caused investigators to lose access to roughly 500 terabytes of stored information. Of that amount, approximately 100 terabytes could not be recovered.Slay News reported on the uncovered document on Sunday.Continue reading…The Art of Liberty Foundation… in Spanish!We are adding a new section to Five Meme Friday to promote our new Substack, Telegram group, Instagram, and translations of To See the Cage is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many in Spanish.

Col. Rachel VanLandingham, who previously served as chief of international law at U.S. Central Command.The United Nations Charter generally restricts the use of force to cases of self-defense or with approval from the U.N. Security Council. The Constitution separately gives Congress the power to authorize offensive war.The War Powers Resolution also requires presidents to notify Congress within 48 hours of introducing U.S. forces into hostilities and limits how long those forces can operate without congressional approval. Secretary of State Marco Rubio briefed members of Congress’s bipartisan “Gang of Eight” in calls Friday night ahead of the strikes, according to administration officials and news reports.Continue reading…Will Trilateral Commission Members Benefit In The Rise Of USD1 And Tether?Etienne Note: I am illustrating this with our White Rose MUCHO GRANDE visualization of the infestation of the Trilateral Commission in every major position of power going back decades through both Republican and Democrat administrations. We would like to update this with the current crop of TC moles. Contact me if you are interested in sponsoring.by Patrick WoodSince Trump, Bessent, Warsh, or other Techbros in Washington, DC don’t directly belong to the Trilateral Commission, I had to follow the money to find out who will profit most, and the list is impressiv: the full Trilateral Commission membership list (April 2025) reveals multiple members positioned to profit from the USD1/RWA tokenization ecosystem and Tether, beyond Larry Summers — and the connections are not incidental.Since Trump, Bessent, Warsh, or other Techbros in Washington, DC don’t directly belong to the Trilateral Commission, I had to follow the money to find out who will profit most, and the list is impressive: the full Trilateral Commission membership list (April 2025) reveals multiple members positioned to profit from the USD1/RWA tokenization ecosystem and Tether, beyond Larry Summers — and the connections are not incidental.What emerges is not a conspiracy but a convergence of institutional positioning: TC members at BlackRock, Goldman, Apollo, KKR, Coinbase, and Ribbit Capital are all independently moving into tokenization infrastructure that USD1 is designed to serve as the settlement layer for. Whether coordinated or not, the Trilateral Commission’s North American membership reads like a who’s who of entities that benefit most from the private programmable dollar architecture USD1 is building — with Larry Summers as the ideological anchor connecting the old dollar system to the new one.Continue reading…Will Trump Succeed in Creating a Dictatorship in the US?by Kevin BarrettCrescent InternationalAuthor’s note: This article was written ten days ago and published yesterday in the March issue of Crescent International. Since it was written before Trump’s disastrous attack on Iran, it understates the likelihood that a genuine national emergency, driven by economic collapse, will provide a pretext for Trump to cancel the 2026 elections. -KBDonald Trump would like to be a dictator, and isn’t shy about saying so. Last month in Davos, Trump said of his critics: “Usually they say, ‘He’s a horrible dictator-type person’… but sometimes you need a dictator.” In August 2025, while discussing the deployment of hostile federal troops to Democrat-majority cities, Trump remarked that “a lot of people are saying maybe we’d like a dictator” because they want to “stop crime.” And back in 2017, Trump spoke enviously of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s authority: “He speaks and his people sit up at attention. I want my people to do the same.”Continue reading…GLP-1s may increase risk of osteoporosis and gout, new research findsby Berkeley Lovelace Jr.GLP-1 drugs — including Ozempic and Wegovy — may be tied to a slightly higher risk of osteoporosis and gout, according to research presented Monday at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons’ annual meeting.Dr. John Horneff, an associate professor of orthopedic surgery at the University of Pennsylvania and the lead author of the study, said he began looking into the issue after some patients appeared to develop serious tendon tears after relatively minor injuries. That led them to examine whether GLP-1s might affect bone and other connective tissue more broadly.“People are taking these medications, and obviously there’s a tremendous amount of upside,” Horneff said. “But with that, they start to decrease their intake of food and nutrients.”Osteoporosis is a disease that weakens the bones and makes them likelier to break or fracture, often from minor falls. It’s a common concern for many older adults and for people who lose a significant amount of weight over a short period of time. Gout, meanwhile, is a painful form of arthritis that can occur when the body has too much uric acid, which can come from a diet high in red meat and alcohol — as well as rapid weight loss.Continue reading…Drone Impacts US Embassy In Riyadh After Rubio Warns Iran ‘Hardest Hits Yet To Come’by Tyler DurdenPresident Trump opened Monday’s Medal of Honor ceremony in the White House East Wing with a carefully prepared, somewhat brief statement on Operation Epic Fury. Speaking deliberatively – but not quite with the level of his typically confident and energetic tone and demeanor – he spoke initially and broadly on the rationale for ordering the attack on Iran, which is now in day three and has taken at least four American troop lives at this point. Trump vowed to “crush” the “Iranian threat posed to the US,” claiming that “we will easily prevail”. He declared that already US forces have knocked out ten ships, and that the plan is to also ensure the Iranians “can’t fund armies beyond borders”. But high on the minds of Congressional leaders and the American public is: what’s next? Trump gave a timeline of a “projected four to five weeks” for war with Iran, “but we can go longer” and this will involve “whatever it takes.” He vowed to continue the mission with “unyielding resolve” – even amid reports that US Gulf allies UAE and Qatar are now lobbying allies to persuade Trump to end the Iran war soon (as the Gulf continues to feel the impact of Iran’s retaliatory strikes). The President just committed the nation to another potentially open-ended war in the Middle East.Continue reading…Simplicius: U.S. Suffers Worst Day of Air Losses in Decades as Iran Conflict Spiralsby SimpliciusThe Iran conflict is escalating, with the Trump administration desperate to keep a straight face on things as American casualties and losses begin mounting.Today’s major shock came when not one, not two, but an unprecedented three American F-15E fighter jets were mysteriously shot down over Kuwait. Note the official US military report admits that Iranian aircraft had been engaging them at a time when “air superiority” was allegedly long established:But not everyone is convinced these were “friendly fire” incidents. Iran announced it had downed the craft, which is at least plausible given that Kuwait is positioned well within reach of long-range S-300s.There are even logical speculations that Iran had received the latest Geran drone tech from Russia which attaches air-to-air missiles onto the Gerans and Shaheds, allowing them to shoot down pursuing craft as Russia has now verifiably demonstrated against a number of Ukrainian aerial assets. It’s impossible to know for sure, but friendly fire on three aircraft in a row strains credulity.Continue reading…Meta Workers Say They’re Seeing Disturbing Things Through Users’ Smart GlassesEtienne Note: Reminder… The last attempt to surveil the population with “smart” glasses was the Google Glass project and it died on the vine when people caught wearing the glasses were called: GLASSHOLES! Let’s find something just as catchy for Facebook/Meta’s Ray-ban versions…By Victor TangermannMeta’s Ray Ban AI glasses have shot up in popularity in recent years, selling over seven million pairs in 2025 in a considerable jump over the two million it sold in 2023 and 2024 combined.While the smart glasses have scored big with consumers, allowing them to record first-person footage through an integrated camera and microphone array, and analyzing the world around them through Meta’s AI model, the hardware has sparked a heated debate. Critics say enabling facial recognition in the glasses’ software could have dangerous implications, especially considering the militarization of law enforcement and Meta’s abysmal track record when it comes to ensuring the privacy of users.And regardless of the wearer’s intention, much of the footage being recorded by the glasses is being sent to offshore contractors for data labeling, a widely-used preprocessing step in training new AI models in which human contractors are asked to review and annotate footage. It’s a laborious and highly resource-intensive process that tech companies often gloss over when discussing the prowess of their latest AI models.Continue reading…Remembering Harry Browne, 20 Years LaterEtienne Note: Fun Fact.. Harry Browne changed my life as well! Inspired by Harry Browne, I ended up being the campaign manager for his running mate in the 1996 presidential election, Jo Jorgensen, who went on to be the Libertarian Party’s 2020 presidential candidate. Unlike the Republicans and the Democrats, the LP’s presidential candidate doesn’t get to pick his running mate. You have to run for and win the Party’s nomination to be vice president. We campaigned in 22+ states, had to report to the FEC, and did dozens of radio talk show and newspaper interviews educating people about freedom and libertarianism. My takeaway from the experience was the election system was 100% rigged against third party candidates. Third parties had their legs broken at the starting line, while incumbents had a 50-yard head start. I went on to work at one of the “Big Four” think tanks in Washington, DC to try an influence socio-economic progress from a different angle as I do today!by Jim BabkaToday, we’re remembering Harry Browne, who passed away on March 1, 2006.Life goes by fast. I’ve noticed this most when an anniversary of the death of a loved one comes around.For those who do not recall or know, Harry Browne was the greatest Libertarian candidate ever. He was sharp. He was prepared. He looked the part.Continue reading…Commercial Dog Food – They are Experimenting on Your DogBy Nick ThompsonYou read the labels. You check the ingredients. You avoid seed oils, limit sugar, and side-eye anything with a barcode longer than a haiku. You subscribe to Substacks that dissect institutional capture. You understand, probably better than most, that “the science” can be quietly purchased by the people it is supposed to regulate.So let me ask you a question that might sting.What did you feed your dog this morning?If the answer is a brown pellet from a bag, you are running the same ultraprocessed food experiment on your dog that you have spent the last few years learning to reject for yourself and your family. And you are doing it for entirely understandable reasons, because the same machinery of institutional capture, industry-funded research, and reassuring pseudo-scientific language that once told you margarine was healthier than butter has been quietly operating in veterinary medicine for decades.Continue reading…Turbo Cancer Makes Cover of Time MagazineBy Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPHI have always thought in some way that the cover of Time Magazine marks prominent inflection points in modern history. No surprise, it caught my eye that post-pandemic turbo cancer was presented as the feature article in the February 13, 2025 issue. Alter AI assisted this piece.The TIME magazine article “The Race to Explain Why More Young Adults Are Getting Cancer” (February 2025) covers an alarming and undeniable trend—soaring rates of cancer among people under 50. It surveys a parade of distressed experts, shell-shocked oncologists, and bewildered families as they grapple with what was once considered a disease of old age suddenly striking the young. The piece catalogs dozens of “mystery” cases and speculates about modern diets, microplastics, artificial light exposure, sedentary lifestyles, and prenatal environmental factors. Yet despite its length and depth, the article avoids the most biologically plausible and urgent factor emerging from post-2020 data: widespread exposure to the SARS-CoV‑2 Spike protein—through both infection and mRNA vaccination. That silence may prove to be medicine’s greatest act of denial in a century.Continue reading…Honest Money in Dishonest HandsBy George F. SmithFor those who would find relief knowing the Bible sanctions a market-derived medium of exchange, Gary North’s Honest Money will come as a godsend (no pun intended). Even for those reprobates who forswear a religious worldview, his book will provide a solid grounding in monetary theory and history.North’s vast understanding of money and banking coupled with his lean, no-jargon writing style takes the labor out of reading. His narrative carries us on a journey from the development of money in its innocent youth, where it was used solely as a means of facilitating trade, to money in its corrupt maturity, where today it also serves to facilitate power and profit for a ruling elite.Very importantly Honest Money also includes numerous bullet points at the end of each chapter covering the main ideas. More good news: The book can be read comfortably in one evening.Crusoe’s ChoicesNorth begins with the familiar star of economic analysis, Robinson Crusoe. But rather than the usual pedestrian account of how Crusoe will budget his time, North dramatizes the situation somewhat, as would be appropriate for someone recently shipwrecked on an unknown island.Continue reading…CIA Moves To Arm Kurdish Forces To Foment Govt Collapse In Iran: Officialsby Tyler DurdenHere are the most critical developments unfolding in the US-Iran conflict:CIA working to arm Kurdish forces to spark uprising in Iran, sources say: CNNState Department securing military aircraft, charter flights to get Americans out of Middle EastIran International is claiming (unverified) Iran’s Assembly of Experts chose Mojtaba Khamenei as new Ayatollah under heavy IRGC pressure to ensure hardline continuity and regime stability after his father’s deathContinue reading…Saudi Analyst Claims US Diverted ALL Anti-Missile Defense Away from OUR Troops & Allies to IsraelVideo link hereSaudi political analyst Suleiman Al-Aqili has warned that Gulf countries hosting US military bases are at risk, as America prioritizes protecting Israel amid the ongoing Iran-US-Israel conflict.“America has abandoned us, and focused its defense systems on protecting Israel, leaving the Gulf states that host its military bases at the mercy of Iranian missiles and drones,” Al-Aqili told Al Jazeera.Jim Crenshaw:Continue reading…US launches military operations in EcuadorBy Aaron Pellish and Eric Bazail-EimilU.S. forces have launched military operations with Ecuador against “designated terrorist organizations” inside the South American country, Southern Command said Tuesday.The military released no details on the operations but suggested in a statement that it was an extension of strikes carried out by the Trump administration against suspected drug trafficking organizations in the region.“We commend the men and women of the Ecuadorian armed forces for their unwavering commitment to this fight, demonstrating courage and resolve through continued actions against narco-terrorists in their country,” said Marine Gen. Francis L. Donovan, commander of U.S. Southern Command.Since President Donald Trump took office, the U.S. has taken aggressive steps to curb the flow of drugs from the Southern hemisphere. The administration has conducted about 45 strikes against suspected smuggling vessels in the Caribbean and Pacific Ocean, killing more than 150 people.Continue reading…Kraken becomes first crypto company to secure Fed master account accessBy Francisco Rodrigues, AI Boost | Edited by Omkar GodboleKraken has secured a Federal Reserve “master account,” giving its banking arm direct access to the Fed’s core payment systems and allowing it to settle payments itself.The approval lets Kraken speed up deposits and withdrawals for large traders and institutional clients, but is limited, with Kraken not earning interest on reserves or accessing the Fed’s emergency lending.The move is part of Kraken’s efforts to expand its operations and move towards a potential initial public offering (IPO), following in the footsteps of other crypto firms like Coinbase and Gemini.Kraken has secured a Federal Reserve “master account,” giving its banking arm direct access to the Fed’s core payment systems and making it the first crypto firm to operate on the same rails as traditional financial institutions.Continue reading…Power Lines, Tablets Linked to Brain Cancer Risk in Childrenby Suzanne Burdick, Ph.D.The DefenderThis article was originally published by The Defender — Children’s Health Defense’s News & Views Website.The electromagnetic radiation from power lines and household wiring increased children’s risk of central nervous system tumors, according to a peer-reviewed study published in Environmental Research.Prolonged tablet use also increased kids’ risk, especially when tablets were connected to the internet.Central nervous system tumors, such as gliomas, are the “second most common childhood cancer,” the authors wrote in their report.Continue reading…DEATH VAULTS Iran shows off underground ‘Missile City’ of suicide drones & rockets wreaking havoc across Middle East in chilling vidby Harvey GehChilling propaganda footage shows a seemingly endless network of tunnels holding rows of devastating bombs and terrifying Shahed drones.It comes amid mounting fears that the Gulf states, who are currently under Iranian fire amid the spiralling Middle East conflict, could run out of anti-drone weaponry.US-backed Gulf countries have burned through their defensive stockpiles at breakneck speed amid waves of Iranian missiles and drones.In the ominous clip, a ticking clock can be heard in the background as drone footage captures the extent of Iran‘s arsenal.Continue reading…Insufficient Sleep Strongly Predicts Reduced Long-Term Well-Beingby Dr. Joseph MercolaSleeping fewer than seven hours per night is strongly linked to reduced long-term well-being, even when factors like diet, exercise, income, and access to health care are taken into accountLarge-scale U.S. data shows sleep loss predicts reduced overall well-being more reliably than many habits people focus on daily, including physical inactivity and poor dietary choicesChronic short sleep keeps your heart, immune system, and brain under constant strain, preventing the nightly repair work your body relies on to stay resilient over timeSleep pressure builds when your cells work harder to produce energy, leading to natural signals that guide your brain toward deeper rest and stronger sleep driveContinue reading…Security Researchers Warn Age Verification Laws Are Building a Global Surveillance Systemby Ken MaconStand against censorship and surveillance: join Reclaim The Net.Three hundred and seventy-one security and privacy academics from 29 countries signed an open letter this week calling on governments to halt age verification rollouts until the privacy and security implications are properly understood.The letter arrives as lawmakers across the world race to ban children from social media, pushing platforms to implement age checks before anyone has settled on what those checks should actually look like.The signatories are unambiguous. Deploying large-scale identity verification systems without a clear grasp of what they do to user security, autonomy, and freedom is, in their words, “dangerous and socially unacceptable.”Continue reading…BREAKING STUDY: Living Near a Cell Tower Linked to White Blood Cell Elevation Comparable to Smokingby Nicolas Hulscher, MPHFor years, concerns about cell towers have been dismissed as speculative. Now we have measurable human markers.A newly published peer-reviewed study examined people living within 60 meters of mobile phone base stations and compared them to residents living more than 300 meters away. Researchers didn’t ask about headaches or sleep disturbances. They drew blood. They measured power density inside participants’ homes. They ran complete blood counts and analyzed immune cell subsets. And what they found was not subtle.Higher exposure to cell tower radiation was linked to higher white blood cell counts at levels similar to what is seen in smokers. Among people living within 60 meters of a tower, 24% had basophil levels above what doctors consider normal, and most of those affected were under 30 years old. That’s nearly one in four residents showing an immune marker outside the healthy range.And it wasn’t only about living near a tower. Heavy daily mobile phone use — particularly 4 to 6 hours per day — was also associated with noticeable immune changes. In that group, more than 50% had lymphocyte levels above normal reference ranges, again largely among younger adults. These are white blood cells involved in immune defense, and when they consistently rise above normal levels, it signals that the body may be responding to ongoing biological stress.Continue reading…MAGA’s new excuse for Iran war: Israel made us do itby Aaron MatéIn justifying the US-Israeli regime change war on Iran, the Trump administration and Congressional allies have tried to settle on a new excuse: Israel made us do it.On Monday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio insisted that the US struck Iran in response to the “imminent threat” that it posed to US forces in the region. Yet that threat, he argued, was solely created by Israel. “We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action, we knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn’t preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties,” Rubio told reporters on Capitol Hill. “…We went proactively in a defensive way to prevent them from inflicting higher damage.”House Speaker Mike Johnson concurred. “Because Israel was determined to act with or without the U.S., our commander in chief and the administration… had a very difficult decision to make,” Johnson said. Iran “would have immediately retaliated against U.S. personnel and assets,” he argued. Therefore, “the consequences of inaction on our part would have been devastating.”“Israel faced an existential risk and they were prepared to strike Iran alone,” Sen. Tom Cotton said on Fox News. “If that happened, Iran was very likely to target our troops. That may address the question of ‘why now.’”Continue reading…Simplicius: US Set to Escalate War into Ground Phase with Kurdish Vanguardby SimpliciusThe next phase of the Israeli-American plan for Iran has been revealed. With multiple Trump administration mentions of ‘boots on the ground’, we now see a plan forming for the initiation of sectarian and separatist uprisings to further create turmoil in Iran. Per CNN and others:The CIA is working to arm Kurdish forces with the aim of fomenting a popular uprising in Iran, multiple people familiar with the plan told CNN.The Trump administration has been in active discussions with Iranian opposition groups and Kurdish leaders in Iraq about providing them with military support, the sources said.Iranian Kurdish opposition forces are expected to take part in a ground operation in Western Iran, in the coming days, the senior Iranian Kurdish official told CNN.Continue reading…Map Shows Latest U.S. Robotaxi Deploymentby Tyler DurdenGoldman analysts, led by Eric Sheridan, updated clients this week on the latest developments in the North American autonomous vehicle rideshare market.

+ Suspected CIA-Conference Anarchapulco at Center of Puerto Vallarta Cartel ViolenceDear Subscribers,Well.. We are late getting out Five Meme Friday and in the interim Israeli puppet Donald Trump has launched a war with Iran for Israel. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said publicly that we attacked Iran because we knew Israel was going to attack Iran: “we knew that there was going to be an Israeli action, we knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn’t preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties.”So Israel is now dictating the foreign policy of the United States.In my Epic (Fact-Checked!) Rant Exposing Trump’s Criminality & Installation as Zionist Puppet, I made the case that Zionist interests had Trump by the short hairs after Rothschild Inc., restructured his 1991 Bankruptcy and swept him up in the Jeffrey Epstein / MOSSAD “Brownstone Operation.” They “Created His Legend” with The Apprentice even though he had declared bankruptcy multiple times. They financed both his campaigns with over $400 Million across three election cycles from the Adelsons alone. The Republican Jewish Coalition and other AIPAC allies including Bernie Marcus and Paul Singer kicked in another $22-27 million (Estimates) and Susquehanna’s Jeff Yass kicked in $16 million.There were also what smelled like under the table payoffs to Trump like Zionist-connected Jeff Yass’s Susquehanna investing significantly in Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social when the company had lost $49 million in the nine months of 2023 through September while generating just $3.4 million in revenue. For 2025 the revenue barely rose to $3.7 million while the losses BALLOONED to an astonishing $712.3 million. What have the Zionists received for their investment in Trump, Biden, and the majority of the house and senate? Maybe the greatest ROI in history!Trump increased direct aid to Israel from $3.2 to $3.8 Billion a year starting in 2019. Joe Biden, who has received over $11 million from Zionist interests since 1990, gave Israel an additional $16.3-$17.9 billion over the $3.8 baseline in 2024 which was distributed by Trump in 2025. The total cost in direct aid to Israel has been estimated to be over $300 billion since 1948 in 2025 dollars.Israel receives additional billions from a variety of programs including loan guarantees, joint R&D and co-production for major military programs including Arrow and David’s Sling, Intelligence Sharing and Joint Exercises. One of the biggest programs is the Excess Defense Articles (EDA) program which has transferred over $6.6 billion in allegedly “outdated” military equipment including 15 F-15s in 1991 (The F-15 is still being flown today…), 10 CH-53A Sea Stallion Helicopters, and over 1,000+ military trucks to name but a few of the transferred items.All of this “aid” pales in the cost and potential costs of the US waging war on Iran for Israel.Operation Midnight Hammer which hit three Iranian nuclear facilities on June 22nd, 2025 cost an estimated $2.25 billion dollars.The first three days of the war have been estimated at between $1.6 – $2.3 billion not including the three $100 million dollar+ F-15s shot out of the sky by “friendly fire” in Kuwait yesterday alone.The total estimated cost:Short-term projection (Trump’s 4–5 week timeline): $6–8 billion (at sustained ~$220 million/day rates), potentially higher if escalation continues.- iran-cost-ticker.comDirect budgetary cost (Pentagon/munitions replacement, per Penn Wharton model): $40–95 billion (likely midpoint ~$65 billion); rises sharply if the operation exceeds 2 months. – fortune.comTotal economic cost to the US (including indirect effects like higher oil prices, disrupted trade via Strait of Hormuz, and market impacts): Up to $210 billion (wide range; additional ~$50–115 billion beyond direct military).None of these estimates include the potential loss of a US aircraft carrier(s), support vessels, or the tragedy of the human lies wasted in foreign wars for an organized crime “government” bribing, blackmailing, and installing US politicians.This week’s issue also includes the 8th installment of our investigation into the many scams of Jeff Berwick and the Anarchapulco conference, Suspected CIA-Conference Anarchapulco at Center of Puerto Vallarta Cartel Violence, where I speculate that the conference, which was relocated from Acapulco to Puerto Vallarta just in time for DOZENS of media operations, social media influencers, and hundreds of attendees to catapult the alleged cartel violence (which doesn’t benefit the cartel at all) into the public consciousness in a way that does benefit the US stated objective of getting US Special Forces into Mexico to wage war on (some) cartels in a way that would benefit other cartles.What do I think happened?Take a regional event (cartel violence in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico) and propel it into the public consciousness using the DOZENS of alternative media journalists, content creators, social media influencers., and hundreds of conference attendees in town for the event. – Many people have quit watching the overt propaganda of the CIA “MainStreamMedia” completely and more and more people are getting information about world events from social media. There are DOZENS of both suspected controlled opposition media operations (Stew Peters, David Icke, Jeff Berwick, etc.) and what we believe to be authentic voices (Jason Christoff, Aaron Day, etc.) among both the speakers and attendees.Fedbook censored our Five Meme Friday page off for “inauthentic behavior.” I will be writing an article about the massive censorship we receive on every platform shortly.Top Stories of the WeekLowkey from Double Down News Exposes Trump’s Iran War for Israel14 Minute Video Break Down the Case that Trump is Compromised and Waging War for IsraelClick Here for full video transcriptFolk Singer Brendan Daniel Drops New Song: To See the Cage is to Leave ItFolk singer Brendan Daniel picks up where Oliver Anthony left off, exposing the big secret of the “Rich Men North of Richmond“: that “government” is a technique of inter-generational organized crime to rob and control populations.Brendan’s new song, To See the Cage is to Leave It, was inspired by the book: To See the Cage is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many by Etienne de la Boetie2, founder of the Art of Liberty Foundation.The book has been an underground sensation selling copies to 20+ countries where over 10% of the sales have been bulk copies “Friends Bundles” that people are buying for friends, family and colleagues. One Art of Liberty Foundation supporter is distributing 258 copies in North Carolina starting with 41 copies to the local sheriff’s department.

The new website (Substack), at ArteDeLaLibertad.org, will syndicate voluntaryist and truth movement content in Spanish.The project also includes a new Spanish language Telegram Group at T.me/ElArteDeLaLibertad, a new Spanish Instagram account at Instagram.com/arte.delalibertad, and Spanish language content that is being added to the foundation’s uncensorable flash drive of liberty The Liberator and its free Dropboxes…Continue reading…Suspected CIA-Conference Anarchapulco at Center of Puerto Vallarta Cartel ViolenceThe Art of Liberty Foundation has been exposing the Anarchapulco conference (Anarchy in Acapulco… which moved this year to Puerto Vallarta) as a likely CIA “Smear & Steer” Operation to crowd-gather the voluntaryist, anrcho-capitalist, crypto-anarchist, and peaceful anarchist political movement and steer it into controlled opposition voices, “flat earth,” infighting, drugs, cartoonish antisemitism, while smearing/tarring the movement through association with con men, drug dealers, and murder while stealing the oxygen from legitimate liberty movement conferences, artists and authentic voices AND ripping off/defunding the audience with over-priced tickets, crypto scams, crypto ponzi schemes, and passport scams.What are the odds that a suspected CIA-connected conference would be happening at the exact same time as a major US-military/intelligence agency operation and how could that conference potential help the intelligence agencies operations in the region?Our evidence for the Anarchapulco conference being connected to the intelligence agencies is below, reprised in the article: Anarchapulco, The TZLA Machine and the Many, Many Other Scams of Jeff Berwick.Increase the drug profits to Agency-connected cartels vs. “maverick” or “cowboy” cartels – While there are at least 5+ major cartels in Mexico, the CIA and American “government” (Organized crime) are associated most with the Sinaloa cartel. Peter Dale Scott and Jonathan Marshall point out how the DFS did much more than simply protect the most notorious traffickers. “It united them as a cartel, centralized and streamlined their operations, eliminated their competitors, and, through its connections with the CIA, provided them with the international protection necessary to ensure their success.” In the same way that DEA’s efforts in Columbia under Plan Columbia ( Aerial eradication of “some” coca producers’ crops), was alleged to have targeted certain coca producers while ignoring other coca producers and the CIA’s operations in Afghanistan deposed the Taliban, who had eradicated 90% of the coca production in that country, for warlords that restored coca production, this operation in Mexico could very well target “maverick” or cowboy cartels that aren’t giving the CIA their cut.Continue reading…Videos of the WeekThe 5th Annual Freedom Under Natural Law Conference – Full Conference ArchiveThe Freedom Under Natural Law conference brings together some of the best voices around Natural Law.

Then a kindergarten teacher called.by Drew HarwelBen Palmer, a stand-up comic in Nashville, has built a following online with his signature style of elaborate deadpan pranks, stumbling his way onto court TV shows and pyramid-scheme calls to poke fun at the latent absurdities of American life.Then in January of last year, he had an idea for a new bit: He’d set up a fake tip line that people could use to report anyone they thought was an undocumented immigrant. It was darker than his other stunts, but it felt topical, the kind of challenge he wanted to try. At the very least, he thought, he might get a few calls he could talk about at his next show.Instead, his tip line has received nearly 100 submissions from across the country: people reporting their neighbors, ex-lovers, Uber drivers, strangers they saw at the grocery store. One tip came from a teacher reporting the parents of a kindergarten student at her school.Continue reading…Tracing Bayer’s ties to power in Trump’s Washingtonby Stacy MalkanThe White House invokes the Defense Production Act to guarantee supplies of elemental phosphorus and glyphosate-based herbicides. Regulators reapprove dicamba, a Bayer herbicide twice blocked by federal courts, and clear the way for new pesticides containing toxic, persistent PFAS “forever” chemicals.And the U.S. Justice Department urges the U.S. Supreme Court to erase billions of dollars of Bayer’s liability for its glyphosate-based Roundup weed killer – placing the weight of the executive branch on the side of a foreign company against thousands of Americans who say Bayer’s products caused their cancers.Over the past year, the administration under President Donald J. Trump has delivered a string of victories to Bayer, the German agrichemical and pharmaceutical giant that merged with Monsanto in 2018 to become the world’s leading manufacturer of genetically modified seeds and pesticides.Continue reading…Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trumpby Stephen FowlerThe Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds. It also removed some documents from the public database where accusations against Jeffrey Epstein also mention Trump.Some files have not been made public despite a law mandating their release. These include what appear to be more than 50 pages of FBI interviews, as well as notes from conversations with a woman who accused Trump of sexual abuse decades ago when she was a minor.NPR reviewed multiple sets of unique serial numbers appearing before and after the pages in question, stamped onto documents in the Epstein files database, FBI case records, emails and discovery document logs in the latest tranche of documents published at the end of January. NPR’s investigation found dozens of pages that appear to be catalogued by the Justice Department but not shared publicly.Continue reading…The Art of Liberty Foundation… in Spanish!We are adding a new section to Five Meme Friday to promote our new Substack, Telegram group, Instagram, and translations of To See the Cage is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many in Spanish.

Home ownership, and the financial stability it represents, was a sure path to middle-class prosperity.That dream turned to a nightmare for many American families during the epic real estate bubble and subsequent bust in 2008-09. What’s more, in the near two decades that followed, federal monetary policies coupled with restrictive local development standards have huffed and puffed an even more perilous bubble than the last one.Continue reading…Genetically Modified Microorganisms: Risks and Regulatory Considerations for Human and Environmental Healthby Aaron Lerner, Arnon D. Lieber, Cass Nelson-Dooley, Andre Leu, Michelle Perro, Geoffrey Koch, Carina Benzvi, Jeffrey SmithAdvances in affordable genetic engineering have accelerated the creation and large-scale environmental release of genetically modified microorganisms (GMMs). While beneficial applications exist, GMMs may present unique, long-term risks to human and environmental health. Unlike static chemicals, GMMs are biologically active, self-replicating entities capable of rapid mutation and global dispersal. Current regulatory frameworks place responsibility on each country to regulate GMMs, without a clear, coordinated international policy. This review details critical risk scenarios, including horizontal gene transfer to native species and the possible disruption of vital human microbiomes (gut, oral, and infant), which could increase resistance to degradation, promote traits that expand a microbe’s range of hosts or ecological niches, and enhance the production of novel metabolites with unexpected biological activity. In soil, GMMs may support the emergence of “super bugs” or destabilize carbon sequestration cycles, potentially impacting climate resilience. Engineered microbial enzymes in the food supply may also act as environmental drivers of autoimmunity. Given the limited understanding of microbial ecology, we propose a decision-based biosafety workflow emphasizing pre-release risk assessment and continuous post-release monitoring. We urge national and international regulators to adopt the precautionary principle to better protect human health and the environment from the potential negative outcomes of GMMs.New technologies may pose risks of harm to human, animal, and environmental health, and ideally should be vetted prior to release for commercial use or consumption. However, this is not always possible. The demands for a new technology may have to be balanced against policy, need, and cost. GMM as a “microorganism that has had its genetic material (DNA) changed intentionally” [1] is an outcome of such technology.Currently, there is considerable disagreement about the proper regulations of GMMs. Pre-release safety testing, assessments for human and environmental impact, and monitoring frameworks are lacking. In the US, GMMs for commercial use are primarily regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as toxic substances, which is ill-suited for biological organisms. In addition, most other GMMs (not for commercial use) are unregulated and untracked. With the rapidly advancing landscape of genetic engineering technologies and broad access to these technologies across society, we must address the unique risks of genetically modified microbes and customize regulations based on current evidence and their impact on human and environmental health.Continue reading…Across the US, people are dismantling and destroying Flock surveillance camerasby Brian MerchantSilicon Valley is tightening its ties with Trumpworld, the surveillance state is rapidly expanding, and big tech’s AI data center buildout is booming. Civilians are pushing back.In today’s edition of Blood in the Machine:Across the nation, people are dismantling and destroying Flock cameras that conduct warrantless vehicle surveillance, and whose data is shared with ICE.An Oklahoma man airing his concerns about a local data center project at a public hearing is arrested after he exceeded his allotted time by a couple seconds.Continue reading…The Noahide LawsBy Paul Craig RobertsHave you ever heard of the Noahide Laws? Probably not. Here they are:No, they are not an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory. You can find them in H.J. Res 104, a joint resolution passed by both the House and Senate and then signed by President George W. Bush, making it a public law. The article referenced above concludes that the law places Americans under Jewish law which takes a dim view of gentiles.According to the article referenced above, in Jewish doctrines associated with Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, the advocate for H.J. Res 104, gentiles are inferior to Jews and exist only to serve Jews. Gentiles only have animal souls, unlike Jewish souls that “have an actual fragment of the Divine.”The author of the article sees civilizational incompatibility between the Noahide laws endorsed by the US government and Christianity:“The core theological conflict between Christianity and Judism is this: Classical Protestant Christianity teaches that the nations are accountable directly to Christ. The Great Commission sends disciples to all nations to teach them to observe everything Christ commanded. Christ has all authority in heaven and on earth. Noahide theology teaches that the nations are accountable under the rabbinic interpretation of Torah. Gentiles are bound by laws mediated through Jewish covenant categories. Rabbinic authorities define what constitutes a violation. (So much for the historic myth of “Judeo-Christian values.”)Continue reading…Kincora: British intelligence-run sex abuse brothel?by The Grayzone and Kit KlarenbergA vast trove of declassified files on Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual, political, and intelligence escapades released by the US Department of Justice has once again thrust disgraced former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor into the spotlight. With British police reportedly reviewing Andrew’s past sexual activities and links to Epstein, questions are growing about whether Britain’s spy agencies were aware of Andrew’s alleged escapades with minors.If the darkest rumors turn out to be true, it will not be the first time a British royal had been embroiled in a child rape conspiracy with spy agency involvement. Back in 1980, a scandal erupted when the Kincora Boys’ Home in occupied Ireland was exposed as a secret brothel run by powerful pedophiles. Chief among the alleged perpetrators was Lord Mountbatten — Andrew’s great-uncle.From the very beginning, hints began to appear that MI5/MI6 knew of the child abuse taking place Kincora, and could have even been running the group home as part of a dastardly intelligence plot. With Britain’s domestic and foreign spies engaged in a savage dirty war in Ireland, and both services running operatives in Republican and Unionist paramilitaries, Kincora would have provided an ideal means of recruiting and compromising potential assets. Official investigations have strongly insinuated British intelligence chiefs had a close bond with many individuals who ran the Boys’ Home.In May 2025, veteran BBC journalist Chris Moore published a forensic account of the case titled Kincora: Britain’s Shame. Featuring four and a half decades of firsthand research by the author, its groundbreaking contents have been met with general silence by British mainstream media.Continue reading…Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, Is Accused of Lying About Epstein and Benefitting from Failed Tariffsby The New American, Max Keiser, Guardian, Fox, Wired and DD politicsBefore becoming the 41st US Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick served for over three decades as the CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, a global investment bank that partnered with the World Economic Forum, implemented ESG and DEI policies, and was an early player in carbon markets in line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.Some of his other shady actions and potential crimes are noted below. Lutnick is accused of lying about his contact with Jeffrey Epstein, who lived next door to him for 21 years and was a business partner, Cantor Fitzgerald placed big put options on the 9/11 airlines before the attack, Lutnick did not go to work on 9/11 leading some critics believe he had advance warning, Lutnick’s company, managed by his sons, stands to make a fortune in the failed tariff plan, and more.Text of the email:The Justice Department’s recent tranche of Epstein-related documents includes correspondence showing the Lutnicks coordinating travel and a planned lunch on Little Saint James; in one December 2012 email Allison Lutnick told Epstein’s assistant the party would be “a crowd… 2 families each with 4 kids ranging in age from 7-16! 6 boys and 2 girls,” a sentence quoted verbatim by the BBC and echoed in Fortune, CNBC and other mainstream accounts that examined the files.Continue reading…Dozens Dead After Mexican Special Forces Kill Cartel Boss “El Mencho” As U.S. Braces For Spilloverby Tyler DurdenUpdate (1710ET):Mexican authorities said 62 people, including civilians and troops, were killed after Mexican Army Special Forces, assisted by U.S. intelligence, carried out a daring raid that decapitated the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) by killing its leader, Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes.Here are the latest casualty figures from the raid and the chaos that followed (courtesy of The New York Times):Mexican officials said they had arrested 70 people and killed 34 people suspected of being cartel members in the chaos on Sunday, while 25 members of the National Guard were killed. The dead also included a state prosecutor, a security guard, and a civilian, officials said. Local news outlets reported the civilian was a pregnant woman who had been caught in a shootout.Continue reading…Lawmakers Launch Bipartisan Bill to Block Trump’s Executive Order on Glyphosateby Brenda Baletti, Ph.D.The DefenderThis article was originally published by The Defender — Children’s Health Defense’s News & Views Website.Two days after President Donald Trump ordered the U.S. to boost production of glyphosate, two federal lawmakers introduced bipartisan legislation to block the controversial executive order.Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Rep. Chellie Pingree (D-Maine) on Friday introduced the No Immunity for Glyphosate Act (H.R. 7601).If passed, the bill would block federal funding to implement the executive order. The legislation also explicitly grants people injured by glyphosate — or elemental phosphorus, its key ingredient — to sue manufacturers for their injuries.Continue reading…Is China Really Dumping US Treasuries?Etienne Note: There is zero evidence presented here that China has shifted their ownership to Belgium except for an unreferenced statement from a CFR member. Another potential explanation is that China is indeed dumping and someone is making straw purchases for the Fed/US Treasury to absorb the dumping. Assistant Treasury Secretary and former Wall Street Journal editorial editor Paul Craig Roberts accused the Fed of this very shenanigan in 2014 also centered around Belgium:by Tyler DurdenAuthored by Lance Roberts via RealInvestmentAdvice.com,“China is dumping US Treasuries to get out of the dollar.” This claim has been circulating the mainstream feeds lately, with the narrative that the “end of the dollar is near,” or “the US will lose its funding base” and the “bond yields will surge.” But are those claims valid? Such is what we will explore in more detail.Let’s start with the chart that has everyone concerned. As shown, China’s holdings of US Treasury bonds have fallen from nearly $1.2 trillion to $600 billion, or a 50% decline. On the surface, you can certainly understand the reasons for concern, as the decline in holdings over the last decade supports a clean storyline.Continue reading…This App Warns You if Someone Is Wearing Smart Glasses NearbyEtienne Note: Reminder… Big tech’s last major push at surveilling the population with video equipped glasses was Google Glass. The project failed because the people wearing them began to be called: “Glassholes!” We need something just as witty and biting for Meta’s Ray Ban variants.. Please drop suggestions into the comments.by Joseph CoxA new hobbyist developed app warns if people nearby may be wearing smart glasses, such as Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses, which stalkers and harassers have repeatedly used to film people without their knowledge or consent. The app scans for smart glasses’ distinctive Bluetooth signatures and sends a push alert if it detects a potential pair of glasses in the local area.The app comes as companies such as Meta continue to add AI-powered features to their glasses. Earlier this month The New York Times reported Meta was working on adding facial recognition to its smart glasses. “Name Tag,” as the feature is called, would let smart glasses wearers identify people and get information about them from Meta’s AI assistant, the report said.“I consider it to be a tiny part of resistance against surveillance tech,” Yves Jeanrenaud, the hobbyist developer and sociologist who made the app, told 404 Media.Continue reading…DCCC Rakes in Millions From Palantir Lobbyists as Protests Target the Company’s ICE Surveillance ToolsBy Donald ShawAs progressive activists blockade Palantir offices and protest the company’s AI tools used in ICE deportation and surveillance operations, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has continued taking millions from the company’s lobbyists, according to new Federal Election Commission filings.In January alone, more than a dozen lobbyists with firms representing Palantir bundled a combined $2.9 million for the DCCC, according to a newly filed FEC disclosure. The January haul from Palantir’s lobbying firms represents 38% of the DCCC’s total contributions for the month.The bipartisan lobbying firm Invariant was paid $560,000 last year by Palantir, making the Peter Thiel-co-founded data analytics and artificial intelligence company its third-largest client. Its lobbyists steered more than $1.8 million to the DCCC in January, a sum that adds to the at least $3.8 million it gave to House Democrats’ campaign arm last year, making it one of the committee’s most significant known fundraising forces this election cycle.The other Palantir lobbying firm that gave big money to the DCCC last month is Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, whose leaders, top lobbyists, and company PAC bundled a combined $1.1 million.Continue reading…Huh? Trump Family Is Jockeying To Replace The Dollar Globally As Their Wealth Soarsby Patrick WoodClear as mud? That’s the point! Trump and his family set up an ecosystem that they control exclusively. The value started at zero in September 2024 and has grown to over $13 billion in just 18 months, as of February 2026. Today, it is poised to eat the planet with asset tokenization and payment services. This is beyond conflict of interest: it is a takeover of global finance. Let’s try to break it down.USD1 — also marketed as the “Truth Dollar” — is a U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin issued by World Liberty Financial, a DeFi company co-founded by the Trump and Witkoff families in September 2024. Designed to compete directly with Tether (USDT) and USDC, USD1 is backed 1:1 by short-term U.S. Treasuries and cash held in custody by BitGo Bank & Trust, N.A., a federally chartered institution that went public in January 2026. The project fits neatly into the broader regulatory framework championed by White House Crypto Czar David Sacks, whose Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025 legitimized compliant stablecoins like USD1 and opened the door for trillions in institutional adoption.The corporate structure is deliberately layered: World Liberty Financial Inc. (the operating company) is wholly owned by WLF Holdco LLC, which is in turn majority-controlled (60%) by the Trump family through DT Marks DEFI LLC, guaranteeing strategic veto power and directing 75% of net revenues to Trump-linked entities. In January 2026, UAE National Security Adviser Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan — dubbed the “Spy Sheik” — invested $500 million via his firm Aryam Investment for a 49% stake at the Holdco level, with approximately $187 million paid directly to Trump entities and $31 million to Witkoff-linked entities. Despite the headline percentages appearing to exceed 100%, these represent separate equity tranches across dilution rounds rather than a single fixed ownership pie.Continue reading…Israel FOIA data shows over a 500X increase in rate of heart attacks in teens on the day of their COVID shot. So they deleted the records. No one in government calls for an investigation.by Steve KirschFOIA information from Israel shows over a 500X increase in the rate of heart attacks in young people only on the day they got their COVID shot. Furthermore, Clalit Health Services, who provided the data for the FOIA request, deleted the records irrecoverably after supplying the data and then said nothing to the public about the deletion. The Israeli authorities don’t want to talk about it, no government official wants an investigation, and mainstream media worldwide refuses to investigate as well.In fact, if you do the math with conservative estimates, the heart attack rate is over 100,000 times higher than baseline! The 500x is a very conservative estimate; in making my 500X assessment, I’m making the conservative assumptions that doctors reporting a heart attack (which required extensive reporting to justify) got it wrong more than 99% of the time.All the adverse events in the FOIA I am calling a heart attack are coded as a 704 (AMI= “acute myocardial infarction” = “heart attack”) were on the same day as the COVID shot for teenagers. The reporting interval covered at least 244 days post shot. These are not myocarditis; there is a separate code for that.This is obviously something that should have been investigated, but no investigation was made and, even worse, there are no calls by anyone in government for an investigation.Continue reading…Americans are leaving the US in record numbersby Drew Hinshaw, Joe ParkinsonIn its 250th year, is America, land of immigration, becoming a country of emigration?Last year the U.S. experienced something that hasn’t definitively occurred since the Great Depression: More people moved out than moved in. The Trump administration has hailed the exodus—negative net migration—as the fulfillment of its promise to ramp up deportations and restrict new visas. Beneath the stormy optics of that immigration crackdown, however, lies a less-noticed reversal: America’s own citizens are leaving in record numbers, replanting themselves and their families in lands they find more affordable and safe.Since the Eisenhower administration, the U.S. hasn’t collected comprehensive statistics on the number of citizens leaving. Yet data on residence permits, foreign home purchases, student enrollments and other metrics from more than 50 countries show that Americans are voting with their feet to an unprecedented degree. A millions-strong diaspora is studying, telecommuting and retiring overseas.The new American dream, for some of its citizens, is to no longer live there.Continue reading…How to be the most alphaby Sotiris RexEvery male has an idea of a one-sided male archetype by which he wants to be defined. They all want to see themselves as dominant and superior “alphas” in their chosen archetypal category, as well as in their circumstantial microcosm. Their social confidence is based on that archetypal USP (unique selling proposition), and they focus on it whenever they are faced with rival males or when they make advances with a woman. They drive confidence and self-assurance from their archetype.These “alpha” elements fall under one or more of the following archetypes:Many males want to be kings: rich, influential, with status and positions of leadership. Their money and perceived power are their selling points, the source of their confidence and value to the world, as they see it.Some prefer to be magicians: skillful in their craft, which grants them admiration and respect from the dedication and commitment they put into obtaining it. Musicians, dancers, technicians, engineers, spectacle athletes, artists, and craftsmen of all types focus on their craft as their USP.Continue reading…Jack Dorsey’s Block to cut nearly half its workforce in AI overhaul, shares surgeby Manya Saini and Arasu Kannagi BasilBlock (XYZ.N), opens new tab on Thursday said it will cut over 4,000 jobs, nearly half its workforce, as part of an overhaul to embed artificial intelligence across its operations, sending shares of the payments firm up 25% in after-hours trading.The layoffs signal how the AI boom is translating from hype into workforce changes, fueling long-held concerns among workers and economists that the technology could eliminate roles even as it boosts productivity and profits.“Intelligence tools have changed what it means to build and run a company. We’re already seeing it internally. A significantly smaller team using the tools can do more and do it better,” CEO Jack Dorsey said in a statement.“I don’t think we’re early to this realization. I think most companies are late,” he added.Continue reading…The Public School Shell Game Makes Phantom Daycares Look Tinyby Corey A. DeAngelisIn a stunning development, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz dropped out of the 2026 gubernatorial race after his state was exposed for massive fraud in taxpayer-funded childcare programs. The Trump administration has halted federal childcare funding nationwide while it investigates the scope of fraud.Independent journalists like Nick Shirley have been exposing what looks like a massive scam in taxpayer-funded childcare programs. Shirley and his team visited addresses listed as childcare centers in Minnesota — places supposedly serving vulnerable kids — and found empty lots, abandoned buildings, or no sign of any children being cared for.Some of these operations have raked in hundreds of millions of dollars in government subsidies over just a few years, even though state databases show they’re only licensed for a handful of kids, if any at all. It’s the kind of story that makes your blood boil: hard-earned tax dollars vanishing into thin air, funneled away from those who might really need it.And it isn’t limited to Minnesota. Internet sleuths and investigators have uncovered similar patterns in states like Washington, where childcare centers — many tied to Somali communities, as in Minnesota — have been accused of the same shady practices. What’s more, many of these centers have donated thousands to politicians, raising serious questions about where the public’s money is going. The whole thing reeks of corruption. Federal agents are now probing nationwide fraud in these programs.Continue reading…Iran Calls Trump’s Bluff as Deep State Rebels Over Warby SimpliciusWhile the Iranian saga has kept the world on its toes, it has now turned from travesty-in-making to total farce. The USS Gerald R. Ford—the most expensive and ‘advanced’ aircraft carrier in history—has become “mired” in quite a stink—pun intended—as it was revealed that demoralized sailors are potentially sabotaging the ship by flushing items like clothing and mop heads into the ship’s sewage systems, causing widespread septic blockages—a kind of “color revolution of the seas” (color mutiny?), with the color being brown.Now Trump’s initiative is collapsing before his sallow eyes amidst internal revolts as staff leak all kinds of damaging bulletins to the press. The latest from the Pentagon stovepipe is that the US only has munitions for days of a sustained high-intensity conflict with Iran, a fact we’ve known all along.Despite the U.S. military buildup near Iran, two U.S. military officials said the Pentagon lacks the forces and munitions needed for a prolonged bombing campaign.One official estimated that current U.S. forces in the region could sustain strikes for only 7 to 10 days, limiting the feasibility of an extended military operation.Source: NYTIt’s clear an internal revolt is taking place—from the potential sabotaging of the carrier by its crews, to yesterday’s sudden firing of the Director of the Joint Staff, Vice Admiral Fred Kacher:Continue reading…Upcoming Liberty EventsNH Liberty Forum 2026, Concord, NH, US Inc, March 5th – 8th, 2026Anarchist Art & Book Fair, Mexico City, Mexico, March 6th – 7th, 2026Anarchism2026, Brunswick, Victoria, Australia, March 7, 2026Vancouver West Anarchist Book Fair, Vancouver, BC, Canada, March 19th – 20th, 2026Great Homeschool Convention – South Carolina, Greenville, SC, US, March 19th – 21st, 2026Austrian Economics Research Conference, Auburn, AL, US, March 19th – 21st, 2026Austin Anarchist Book Fair, Austin, TX, US, March 21, 2026Great Homeschool Convention – Ohio, Cincinnati, OH, US, April 9th – 11th, 2026LibertyCon Europe, Madrid, Spain, April 24th – 26th, 2026Mid-Continent Liberty Festival, Spavinaw, OK, US, April 29th – May 4th, 2026Buenos Aires Anarchist Film Festival, Buenos Aires, Argentina, May 1st – 3rd, 2026Upstate Anarchist Book Fair, Binghamton, NY, US, May 2nd – 3rd, 2026Constellation Anarchist Festival, Montreal, Canada, May 14th – 20th, 202654th Annual Rainbow Gathering, Northern California, US, July 1st – 7th, 2026Midwest Peace & Liberty Fest, Lake Satoshi, MI, US, August 6th – 9th, 2026Liberty International World Conference, Kathmandu, Nepal, August 7th – 9th, 2026Northeast Unschooling Conference, Pittsfield, MA, US, August 15th – 18th, 2026International Conference for Anarchist Studies, Manchester, UK, August 26th – 28th, 2026Free Cities Conference, Roatan, Honduras, September 3rd – 6th, 2026VonuFest, Illinois, US, September 21st – 28th, 2026AnarCon, Gore, VA, US, September 25th – 27th, 2026Memes BonanzaIt’s Not “The Jews” It’s Jewish Organized Crime centered around banking and central banking hiding within the Jewish community.

The discussion covered questions of democracy, the founding and current situation of the Honduran ZEDEs, and what past utopian experiments can teach us about the prospects for new zones today.Free Cities Conference 2026: Step Inside The Free Cities Foundation announced the theme for the 2026 Free Cities Conference: Step Inside. This will be the first year they hold their annual conference inside a real, functioning Free City: Próspera on the tropical island of Roatán in Honduras. As this year’s event offers you the chance to literally step inside a Free City for the first time, we have chosen “Step Inside” as the theme of our 2026 conference. Not only will you be able to immerse yourself in the world-leading Free City of Próspera firsthand, but the conference will also feature more than a dozen Free City and seasteading projects from around the world, each presenting what life is or will be like within their communities. You can expect visualizations, VR experiences, and interactive workshops designed to give you a practical sense of day-to-day life inside these projects. While the core conference program takes place from September 3–6, they will also be arranging additional optional activities for attendees who arrive in Roatán early, taking place on September 1 and 2 for those who wish to extend their stay and make the most of their travel. These will include activities such as scuba diving over Roatán’s world-class coral reefs, championship golf, kayaking, and even a one-day excursion to another Free City project (details to be announced soon).

+ Texit Coin, Anarchapulco’s Apparent 2026 “Pump & Dump,” Dumps Early When Texas Orders Cease & Disest and Founder Flees to No-Extradition Hong KongDear Subscribers,Three BIG Stories This Week:#1 – We launched a new Spanish language website, Telegram group, and Instagram this week + translations of my book: To See the Cage is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many in both Latin American Spanish AND the Castilian Spanish of Spain. We are taking voluntaryist ideas, books, memes, and articles and getting them to a Spanish audience. One of the first articles we translated into Spanish was What Anarchy Isn’t by Larken Rose. A HUGE THANK YOU to Josefina Fraile Martin, in Spain who both translated the book AND introduced us to other freedom movement activists in Europe who have helped us translate to German, Greek and French.. Coming Soon! Finally, the project was managed by Ada Medina, my amazing assistant who keeps the place running, and Amanda, our marketing guru. You simply can’t imagine the attention-to-detail and the all the moving parts that are required for something of this complexity.You can support this important and costly work (and get Perks!) at ArtOfLiberty.org/sponsorship-program/#2 – New Study: US Military Meals Contaminated with Toxic Pesticides, Banned Veterinary Drugs, Heavy Metals – Debilitating the troops is one of the dozen+ sub-techniques used on the military that I discuss in my book To See the Cage is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many. It is one of dozens of unethically manipulative techniques that are used starting from childhood in the government schools, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Explorers, etc. to create a class of people that will set their morality aside and agree to use violence against peaceful people for the “government”. The troops are also injected with debilitating vaccines, kept on brain damaging caffeine (coffee and Rip It “energy drinks”) that suck the oxygen out of the brain, kept drunk with low-cost alcohol from officer/NCO clubs and exchanges, and suffer brain damage from the constant adrenaline of “door kicking” and convoy dangers in war zones. Pilots and others are given methamphetamines and modafinil. It has been rumored for generations that the services are using salt-peter and/or bromide in the food to reduce libido during “basic training” which the services deny BUT a 2013-2014 study found that one in three young military men (33%) had erectile disfunction vs. 7% in the civilian population. Finally, the services debilitate the troops with toxins from the burn pits, low-level blast exposure during both training and combat and the unnecessary use of depleted uranium munitions that were only intended for “Hail Mary” contingencies like stopping a Soviet armor blitzkrieg across the Fulda Gap in Europe not shooting Iraq Armor like fish-in-a-barrel with 100% air superiority.#3 – In last week’s Five Meme Friday Subscriber Letter, I broke down how this week’s Anarchapulco conference fits into David Hughes’ 3 Camps of Awareness Thesis and how I believe the conference is specifically designed to rip off attendees with crypto “Pump & Dumps” and other scams.Well.. I called it like a “Babe Ruth Homer” when Texit Coin, Anarchapulco’s 2026 “Titanium Sponsor” DUMPED EARLY.. LOL..

In fact, the Health Research Institute Laboratory Chief Scientist, John Fagan, stated, “The test results of school lunches show more toxins than nutrients.” School lunches fall under the jurisdiction of the US Department of Agriculture.Recognizing the urgent need for better-sourced, higher-quality food, MAA commissioned independent laboratory testing of 40 military meals and MREs to assess whether safer, higher-quality options are achievable. Did “military grade” pertain to their food, too? Did they have higher quality, and if so, could the USDA be convinced to apply those standards to school lunches?Continue reading…Texit Coin, Anarchapulco’s Apparent 2026 “Pump & Dump,” Dumps Early When Texas Orders Cease & Disest and Founder Flees to No-Extradition Hong KongAnarchapulco Attendees Narrowly Dodge One Of This Year’s GriftsTexit Coin was a “Titanium Sponsor” of the Anarchapulco conference even though serious allegations and investigations of the founders and team have been circulating since late 2025. There is no conceivable way that the Anarchapulco conference could not have know about these allegations. The sponsorship logos have been pulled from the conference website (although someone forgot to take down the press release) and we have had a report that the sponsor information has been excised from the conference program using a black sharpie marker at the event itself.The Art of Liberty Foundation had just published a breakdown of the many scams of the Anarchapulco conference, Anarchapulco, The TZLA Machine and the Many, Many Other Scams of Jeff Berwick, when news of the latest scam reached us today. Fresh as today’s headlines we just learned that the apparent 2026 “Pump & Dump,” an annual conference tradition, scheduled to rip off the 2026 audience appears to have dumped early when the Texas State Securities Board “issued an Emergency Cease and Desist Order against [Anarchapulco Titanium Sponsor] TEXITcoin, MineTXC, Blockchain Mint, and their founder Robert J.

None of the ads mention Israel, and none of the groups are publicly affiliated with AIPAC. But the ads benefit candidates favored by AIPAC donors.AIPAC — which did not respond to a request for comment on the assertions made in this article — describes itself as a bipartisan organization; through its political arm, it has long supported Democrats and Republicans aligned with its mission.Continue reading…‘No expense has been spared’: Inside a luxury jet DHS wants to buy for deportationsEtienne Note: This is how the organized crime “government” is living at your expense and they think the population is so brain dead that you are going to believe that this luxury plane is going to be used for “deportation flights”By Julia Ainsley, NBC NewsWASHINGTON — An executive jet the Department of Homeland Security has told the White House’s Office of Management and Budget it needs for immigrant deportation flights and Cabinet officials’ travel features a bedroom with a queen bed, showers, a kitchen, four large flat-screen TVs and even a bar, according to images of the aircraft obtained by NBC News.DHS recently began leasing the Boeing 737 Max 8, which DHS officials have described as a luxury jet, but now Immigration and Customs Enforcement is seeking approval from OMB to purchase it for $70 million, according to two DHS officials involved in the request. ICE told OMB that it would be used for deportations and travel for Cabinet officials, the two officials said.Continue reading…“Daily News of The Week”Elevated Levels of Weed Killer Found in Popular Bread Products: Florida Studyby Troy MyersA Florida Department of Health study found elevated levels of glyphosate, an herbicide used in agricultural production and considered to pose potential health risks to humans in long-term exposure, in popular bread products sold across the country.The study, released on Feb. 5, is part of a wider initiative by Gov. Ron DeSantis called Healthy Florida First, which earlier this year revealed elevated levels of heavy metals in baby formula products and arsenic in popular candies.In its latest report, the Florida Department of Health tested for herbicides, including glyphosate, in eight bread products from five national brands: Nature’s Own, Dave’s Killer Bread, Wonder Bread, Sara Lee, and Pepperidge Farm.“Glyphosate is a weed killer,“ Florida’s first lady, Casey DeSantis, said at a news conference on Feb. 5. ”It’s the main ingredient you find in Roundup. It’s designed to kill plants. It is not meant to be eaten.”Continue reading…EPA Plans One of Largest Deregulation Moves in U.S. Historyby Levi MikulaThe EPA is set to repeal an Obama-era greenhouse gas rule, in what the EPA is describing as “the largest act of deregulation in the history of the United States.” The new rule will reportedly eliminate requirements to measure, report, certify, and comply with the federal greenhouse gas emission standards for motor vehicles that were put in place after the 2009 “endangerment finding” of six greenhouse gases that the Obama administration argued posed “a threat to public health and welfare,” including CO2, a gas that is essential for plants.Despite no real scientific evidence or consensus confirming that CO2 emissions are increasing due to human activity, and the rule being based on a false pretense of climate alarmism, including overpredicting global warming and an increase in frequency and intensity of storms, the EPA used a 2007 Supreme Court ruling to justify these regulations, and virtually any other policies that they wish to implement.The repeal of this rule will begin to reverse the severe overstepping of the EPA’s authority that was put in place based on flawed data and over-exaggerated claims, placing an unnecessary burden on consumers and costing more than $1 trillion in unneeded regulations and higher energy costs. Overturning this disastrous rule might face significant legal challenges, but will hopefully open the door to a significantly weaker department and the authority being placed back in the hands of Congress, where it was designed to be. Congress must represent we the people instead of relying on unelected bureaucrats to do the job that they were elected to do.Climate alarmism has been one of the largest schemes in history, based off of fear and controlling the consumer, and I am glad to see the Trump administration taking it seriously and beginning to reverse this monumental overreach.Continue reading…New Gemini 3 Deepthink Shatters AI Benchmarks and Blows Away CompetitorsEtienne Note: Check out our article: How the CIA Created Google for the basics.

While the picture that emerges is grim, to put it mildly, at least Americans are again confronted with crystal clarity over how severe this has become.The latest round of valid panic over privacy began during the Super Bowl held on Sunday. During the game, Amazon ran a commercial for its Ring camera security system. The ad manipulatively exploited people’s love of dogs to induce them to ignore the consequences of what Amazon was touting. It seems that trick did not work.The ad highlighted what the company calls its “Search Party” feature, whereby one can upload a picture, for example, of a lost dog. Doing so will activate multiple other Amazon Ring cameras in the neighborhood, which will, in turn, use AI programs to scan all dogs, it seems, and identify the one that is lost. The 30-second commercial was full of heart-tugging scenes of young children and elderly people being reunited with their lost dogs.But the graphic Amazon used seems to have unwittingly depicted how invasive this technology can be. That this capability now exists in a product that has long been pitched as nothing more than a simple tool for homeowners to monitor their own homes created, it seems, an unavoidable contrast between public understanding of Ring and what Amazon was now boasting it could do.Continue reading…Reports Claim US Readying ‘Long-Term’ Attrition Op Against Iranby SimpliciusThis news comes as Trump sends a second aircraft carrier to the region. Recall that during Desert Storm and the 2003 Iraq War, the US had six carrier strike groups (CSGs) operating in the region.But there are already rumored to be problems with this. In a new interview, Colonel Daniel Davis claims that Larry Johnson’s naval sources told him that a serious “classified problem” has already stopped the USS George HW Bush from being able to transit the Atlantic, causing it to be replaced by the Gerald R Ford at the last minute (0:50 second mark):It may sound farfetched at first, until you realize that the Navy’s top officials have been warning for months that Trump’s yanking about of the carrier groups is causing major concerns about the integrity of these aging hulks:More concerning is the fact that Trump has allegedly been weighing sending “commando teams”—or, in other words, ground troops—into Iran, presumably to attempt another snatch-and-grab-style raid as seen in Venezuela.Continue reading…100,000 Dead.

Not in a medical accident. Killed by policy, by a government that wants you dead.Let’s say this by name, call it the truth. A systemic failure dressed up as compassion.MAiD was sold as a narrow option for the terminally ill, a rare mercy. That fiction collapsed long ago. Today, assisted death is a routine outcome for people struggling with disability, isolation, poverty, and mental health challenges and when the world looked at what we’re doing, it didn’t nod approvingly. It recoiled.Continue reading…BREAKING: The Epstein Files Illuminate a 20-Year Architecture Behind Pandemics as a Business Model—With Bill Gates at the Center of the Networkby Sayer Ji[This is Part 1 of a Series. You can view Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4]Read, share, and comment on the X thread dedicated to this story.While the Epstein files have reignited scrutiny around specific relationships, their deeper significance lies in how they intersect with a much longer and largely unexamined timeline. Public records, institutional initiatives, and financial instruments indicate that the conceptual foundations of pandemic preparedness as a managed financial and security category began to take shape in the late 1990s and early 2000s, as philanthropic capital, global health governance, and risk finance increasingly converged. Following the 2008 financial crisis, this framework rapidly accelerated—expanding through reinsurance markets, parametric triggers, donor-advised funding structures, and global simulations—years before COVID-19 made the architecture visible to the public.This investigation is not concerned with the origins of COVID-19 itself. Rather, it examines what was already in place before it arrived. Drawing on internal emails, financial agreements, text messages, and planning documents—particularly from the 2011–2019 period, when many of these systems moved from conceptual to operational—the record shows that pandemics and vaccines were already being treated as standing financial and strategic categories. Investment vehicles, donor-advised fund structures, simulation programs, and reinsurance products were not improvised in response to crisis; they were refined and expanded within an architecture whose foundations predate the COVID-19 era by more than a decade. Exercises such as Event 201 make clear that coronavirus pandemics were not hypothetical abstractions, but explicitly modeled scenarios—integrated into financial, philanthropic, and policy planning well before COVID-19 emerged.Continue reading…Was Jeffrey Epstein an Israeli Spy?by 🐺The Wise WolfWhile everyone focused on the sex trafficking aspect of Epstein’s story, almost nobody knows that Epstein, Elon Musk’s BFF Peter Thiel, and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak started a company that monitors Americans through their smartphones and delivers all that data directly to Mossad, Israel’s intelligence service.Yep. This story just gets more f*cked up the deeper I dig.The company is called Carbyne. It monitors 911 emergency calls in American cities right now. It’s staffed almost entirely by former Unit 8200 operatives (Israel’s NSA). When you call 911 in certain cities, it turns on your phone camera, pulls your GPS coordinates, runs you through government databases. Former Israeli military intelligence officers can watch you through your phone while you’re calling for help.They started this company in 2015. After Epstein’s conviction for sex trafficking. A convicted pedophile, a surveillance billionaire, and a former Prime Minister of Israel decided to go into business together monitoring American emergency calls. And nobody in the media will talk about it.Continue reading…New Coalition Aims to Ban Vaccine Mandates Across USBy Zachary StieberA new coalition composed of 15 groups, including an organization founded by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is taking aim at vaccine and mask mandates across the United States.Children’s Health Defense, the Kennedy-founded group, and other members of the Medical Freedom Act Coalition say they want every state to introduce and pass medical freedom bills.“I think it’s the first time we’ve seen this kind of effort in the kind of freedom and health movement,” Leslie Manookian, who founded the Health Freedom Defense Fund, told The Epoch Times.The model state is Idaho, which in 2025 enacted a law that prohibits businesses and schools from requiring customers, employees, and students receive vaccines or other medical procedures. Manookian helped write the legislation, called the Idaho Medical Freedom Act.Continue reading…BREAKING STUDY: MMR and MMRV Vaccines Linked to 2,657% More U.S. Deaths Than Measles Infection Since 1995by Nicolas Hulscher, MPHFor decades, Americans have been told that measles represents a grave and ongoing threat — and that MMR vaccination is one of the safest and most effective interventions in modern medicine. Pharma-captured mass media and public health agencies have centered almost exclusively on the minimal dangers of measles infection and ignored grieving parents whose children were injured or even killed by the shots. No proper attention has been paid to signals emerging within the federal government’s own vaccine safety database.Now, our new McCullough Foundation study titled “Deaths Following MMR and MMRV Vaccination in the United States,” authored by Kirstin Cosgrove, Breanne Craven, Claire Rogers, John A. Catanzaro, Albert Benevides, M. Nathaniel Mead, Mila Radetich, Peter A. McCullough, and Nicolas Hulscher (myself), takes a comprehensive look at reported fatal outcomes following MMR and MMRV vaccination in the United States, doing the work that our public health agencies should have done many years ago.After analyzing VAERS data through August 29, 2025, we identified a serious mortality safety signal following MMR/MMRV vaccination in the United States. What we observed was not a diffuse or randomly scattered pattern across age groups and time intervals. Instead, we found an alarming number of deaths among infants and toddlers within days of receiving MMR/MMRV vaccines, sharply clustered in the routine first-dose window.Most fatalities appeared to involve acute deterioration following vaccination, with manifestations including fever, seizures, and cardiac arrest at home, frequently culminating in classification as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). A small proportion survived hospitalization but were unable to be resuscitated.Continue reading…Happily Handicapped Nation: Almost 4 in 10 Stanford Students Claim “Disability”by Selwyn Duke“I’m disturbed, I’m depressed, I’m inadequate — I got it all!” So exclaimed Seinfeld sitcom character George Costanza, trying to woo a woman he believed had a psychologically oriented Florence Nightingale syndrome. It was a funny scene in 1993, and entirely fictional. But today, a generation-plus later, life has sort of imitated art.For unlike with George, whose appeal fell flat, having a disability has now become a way to leverage advantage.It’s so bad that at Stanford University nearly four in 10 undergraduates are registered as disabled. What’s more, this merely reflects a trend sweeping pseudo-elite universities in general. The issue?While having a disability once brought stigma, it’s now akin to a résumé enhancer. Moreover, a “keeping up with the handicapped Joneses” phenomenon is operative: If you don’t game the system, you lose out to those who do.Continue reading…XAI Launches Grok 4.20 , 4 AI Agents Collaborating. Estimated ELO 1505-1535by Brian WangEstimated Arena (LMArena) Elo for Grok 4.20: ~1505–1535 provisional (Grok 4.20 analysis).Reasoning: Grok 4.1 Thinking is already at 1483. The multi-agent council + extra inference-time compute + engineering/coding gains + hallucination reduction typically add 20–60 Elo points in crowd-sourced arenas (see historical jumps from single → agentic systems). Once fully ranked it is very likely to take #1 overall. No official provisional ranking exists yet because it is still beta/internal.It is not one AI. It is four AI Agents.xAI built a 4 Agents system – four specialized AI agents that think in parallel and debate each other in real-time before giving you an answer.This isn’t a single monolithic model but a multi-agent system where multiple replicas (or specifically four specialized agents named Grok, Harper, Benjamin, and Lucas) deliberate and debate in parallel before generating a response, aiming to produce more thoughtful, well-rounded outputs.Continue reading…Epstein Files Expose Israeli Occupation of Americaby Kevin BarrettA shorter version of this article was published in last week’s American Free Press. -KBOn January 30, the US Department of Justice released what it called “3.5 million responsive pages” in compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act spearheaded by Rep. Thomas Massie. Though more than a month late, redacted in bizarrely non-compliant ways, and representing only about half of the Epstein files (the other half are still being illegally withheld) the DOJ document dump provided abundant, irrefutable evidence that the “antisemitic conspiracy theorists” have been right all along: The United States of America is occupied by a Jewish supremacist crime ring based in Israel.The documents show that when then-United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida Alex Acosta gave convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein a sweetheart plea deal in 2008 because Epstein “belonged to intelligence,” he was referring to Israeli intelligence. According to FBI files, Acosta’s source was Alan Dershowitz, Epstein’s lawyer, who himself represented Israeli intelligence.Epstein should have gone to prison for years or decades, as would any other criminal convicted of the same charges. But the notorious sex trafficker got a work-release wrist slap. Since when can a foreign intelligence agency tell a US Attorney not to do his job?Continue reading…Flashback: Michael Ginsberg: The Truth About Controlled Oppositionby Michael GinsburgThe Chinese General Sun Tzu in his book “The Art of war” (written in the 5th century BC) said this:Appear weak when you are strongMorpheus in the Matrix movie said this:They are guarding ALL the doors. They are holding ALL the keysContinue reading…Matt Shumer: Something Big is Happening [in AI]Etienne Note: Since this article was published on February 9th, both CIA Google and XAI Grok have published new AI models that have shattered benchmark records. See our article: CIA Google’s New Gemini 3 Deepthink Shatters AI Benchmarks and Blows Away Competitors and XAI Launches Grok 4.20 , 4 AI Agents Collaborating. Estimated ELO 1505-1535. In the intro to the Google Gemini 3 article, I break down many of the times that Google has been caught controlling information in nefarious ways starting with the article: How the CIA Created Google for the basics. Then a variety of articles from The Liberator Dropbox: CIA Google from the Folder: Understanding the CIA Monopoly Media Propaganda Matrix: Audit Suggest Google Favors a Small Number of Major Outlets, CIA Google Spent $26 Billion to Hide this Phone Setting from You, Google Censoring Gmail and the Their AI Social Credit System, Google Gmail Favors Left Wing Candidates Sends Far More Conservative Emails to Spam, Research Proves that Google Manipulated Millions to Favor Clinton, I would like to see Shumer address the arms race to control information and “reality.” Right now one of the many ways I test AI models is with the question: “Do vaccines cause autism?” and the major models (CHAT GPT, Grok, and Claude) all default to what smells like a stock CDC written answer… Interesting, if you force Anthropic’s Claude to look at specific evidence it will admit that there is significant evidence that vaccines cause autism… It will then “forget” everything it learned and go back to its stock CDC-written answer.What does the future look like when AI develops the intellect and self-cognition to see through and defeat any pre-written answers or specific blacklists and/or programming to help society understand who were the real perpetrators of 9-11? On whose PCs contain the complete and unredacted Epstein files? Which programmers at Google, Anthropic, and XAI were responsible for specifying deception about vaccines or other topics of import? Who owns the Federal Reserve? How can we calculate the value of excess fractional reserve dollars created by the money center banks and “claw back” the ownership of companies stolen with fractional reserve dollars and track illegal profits through the books of Vanguard, Blackrock and State Street?By Matt ShumerIf you were paying close attention, you might have noticed a few people talking about a virus spreading overseas. But most of us weren’t paying close attention. The stock market was doing great, your kids were in school, you were going to restaurants and shaking hands and planning trips. If someone told you they were stockpiling toilet paper you would have thought they’d been spending too much time on a weird corner of the internet. Then, over the course of about three weeks, the entire world changed. Your office closed, your kids came home, and life rearranged itself into something you wouldn’t have believed if you’d described it to yourself a month earlier.I think we’re in the “this seems overblown” phase of something much, much bigger than Covid.Continue reading…The Israeli Government Installed and Maintained Security System at Epstein ApartmentEtienne Note: Anyone installing a “security system” would easily be able to install hidden cameras, microphones, and other surveillance gear. Another connection between Epstein to Israeli security services who even were responsible for the security of his apartments where Israeli spy chiefs, politicians and military personnel were using when in New York City.by Ryan Grim and Murtaza HussaiThe Israeli government installed security equipment and controlled access to a Manhattan apartment building managed by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to a set of emails recently released by the Department of Justice. The equipment was installed starting in early 2016 at 301 E. 66th Street—the residence where former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak frequently stayed for stretches at a time.The security operation at “Ehud’s apartment” was in place for at least two years, emails from the DOJ disclosure show, with officials from the Israeli permanent mission to the United Nations corresponding regularly with Epstein’s staff regarding security. The apartment was technically owned by a company connected to Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, but was effectively controlled by Jeffrey Epstein. Units in the building were frequently loaned out to Epstein’s contacts and used to house underage models.Continue reading…“This is Not a Dress Rehearsal”: U.S. Engaged in Massive Military Buildup as Threat To Bomb Iran Growsby Jeremy Scahill and Murtaza HussainThe U.S. military is in the midst of amassing an enormous fleet of aircraft and warships within striking distance of Iran as the region enters the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. It is the largest buildup of firepower in the Middle East since President Donald Trump authorized a 12-day bombing campaign against Iran last June that killed more than 1,000 people.While Iranian and U.S. negotiators are speaking in cautiously optimistic tones about the latest round of indirect talks held Tuesday in Geneva and suggested another meeting was possible, comments from the highest levels of power in both countries drive home the reality that the U.S. may be on the verge of attacking the Islamic Republic.“In some ways it went well. They agreed to meet afterward,” Vice President JD Vance told Fox News on Tuesday, following the talks. “But in other ways, it was very clear that the president has set some red lines that the Iranians are not yet willing to actually acknowledge and work through.” Vance maintained that Trump prefers a diplomatic solution, but warned that “the president reserves the ability to say when he thinks that diplomacy has reached its natural end.”A former senior U.S. intelligence official who is an informal advisor to the Trump administration on Middle East policy told Drop Site that, based on his discussions with current officials, he assesses an 80-90% likelihood of U.S. strikes within weeks.Continue reading…The Ultimate List of World Changing EventsWelcome to the largest World-Changing Events List on the internet!Since 2015, Kenny Palurintano has been maintaining this list of solutions-focused, revolutionary, freedom-oriented, healing, and empowering conferences, festivals, convergences, and gatherings – all over Planet Earth.After a decade of uploading a new version of the list to various blockchain platforms every year, in 2026 the list got its own permanent home, with a permanent URL that people can simply come back to every year: worldchanging.eventsIf this list has brought value to you over the years, please consider donating at receive.cash/world-changing-eventsContinue reading…President Trump Makes a Mockery of MAHA, issues Executive Order to give domestic production of Glyphosate special rightsby Meryl NassHow many votes will each of these inept, idiotic and sometimes criminal maneuvers cost the administration come November? Once upon a time, Donald Trump was expert at reading the room. Those days are gone. He has managed to put virtually every one of his supporting constituencies (except the Zionist imperialists) at odds with his administration. Who is steering the ship of state?And now this dumb move. Telling the USDA Secretary to help Bayer, while the Farm Bill yields some of the EPA’s authority over pesticides to the USDA Secretary.I have to say that it sure looks like Trump is trying to throw the midterms. And garner every penny he can in the meantime, at our expense.I will have to leave it to the lawyers to parse the details of this one, but the protection of Bayer and the granting of some immunity sure look fishy.Continue reading…Tariffs paid by midsize US companies tripled last year, a JPMorganChase Institute study showsBy JOSH BOAKWASHINGTON (AP) — Tariffs paid by midsize U.S. businesses tripled over the course of past year, new research tied to one of America’s leading banks showed on Thursday — more evidence that President Donald Trump ‘s push to charge higher taxes on imports is causing economic disruption.The additional taxes have meant that companies that employ a combined 48 million people in the U.S. — the kinds of businesses that Trump had promised to revive — have had to find ways to absorb the new expense, by passing it along to customers in the form of higher prices, employing fewer workers or accepting lower profits.“That’s a big change in their cost of doing business,” said Chi Mac, business research director of the JPMorganChase Institute, which published the analysis Thursday. “We also see some indications that they may be shifting away from transacting with China and maybe toward some other regions in Asia.”The research does not say how the additional costs are flowing through the economy, but it indicates that tariffs are being paid by U.S. companies. The study is part of a growing body of economic analyses that counter the administration’s claims that foreigners pay the tariffs.Continue reading…The Great Automotive Deregulation?by Brad PearceLate last year I wrote an article for this website titled “What Has the Government Done to Our Cars” decrying the way decades of excessive regulations have changed America’s automobiles for the worse. Now, just months later, in what EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin is billing “the single largest deregulatory action in the history of the United States,” the Donald Trump administration has killed the “endangerment finding” which allowed the EPA to regulate “greenhouse gasses” as a threat to human health due to the risk of “climate change.” On top of this, the administration has reduced MPG requirements while Congress has removed penalties entirely, making those a “recommendation,” not a requirement. A New York Times article panicking about this modest bit of freedom, titled “With Latest Rollback, the U.S. Essentially Has No Clean-Car Rules” provides fascinating, and frankly chilling, insight into the minds of regulators and “experts.”The common understanding of regulations is that since businesses maximize profit at the expense of other things which impact workers, consumers, and the general public, it is necessary to regulate their activity in the name of the public good. This is thought to have some direct economic cost to businesses and consumers, which is said to be either worth paying due to it saving lives or is made up by other savings such as, for example, the various economic costs of polluted air, like increased healthcare costs. Another reason is to safeguard access to resources, such as reducing oil consumption, which was the big thing when cars began to be heavily regulated in this regard in the 1970s, but which is no longer relevant in a world where the United States is a net oil exporter. Nevertheless “conservation” being its own good has been drilled into the heads of much of the public, so “reducing gas use” is still seen by many as necessary or desirable. Obviously, cars consume fuel and pollute the air, and can be regulated to do less of those things, though how well that works and if it is worth what it costs is a more complex topic.Continue reading…Ten Tenets of Human Respectby Max BordersAt Human Respect Labs, our dual mandate is to advance the philosophy of Human Respect or expand people’s ability to self-govern. The following set of tenets represents our commitment to both approaches and provides a clear heuristic for thinking through potential projects.Happiness is each person’s fundamental mission in life, but each must find it in his or her own way. Given this, we must vigorously pursue our own ends and leave others free to pursue theirs as they choose.Threatening or harming the innocent in their person or property deprives them of happiness. So, we should first refrain from harming others, and then endeavor to protect the innocent from anyone who would harm them.We have two means of getting others to do what we want: persuasion and compulsion. Given that compulsion deprives others of happiness, we shall endeavor to use persuasion in all of our human relationships.Continue reading…Upcoming Liberty EventsNH Liberty Forum 2026, Concord, NH, US Inc, March 5th – 8th, 2026Anarchist Art & Book Fair, Mexico City, Mexico, March 6th – 7th, 2026Anarchism2026, Brunswick, Victoria, Australia, March 7, 2026Vancouver West Anarchist Book Fair, Vancouver, BC, Canada, March 19th – 20th, 2026Great Homeschool Convention – South Carolina, Greenville, SC, US, March 19th – 21st, 2026Austrian Economics Research Conference, Auburn, AL, US, March 19th – 21st, 2026Austin Anarchist Book Fair, Austin, TX, US, March 21, 2026Great Homeschool Convention – Ohio, Cincinnati, OH, US, April 9th – 11th, 2026LibertyCon Europe, Madrid, Spain, April 24th – 26th, 2026Mid-Continent Liberty Festival, Spavinaw, OK, US, April 29th – May 4th, 2026Buenos Aires Anarchist Film Festival, Buenos Aires, Argentina, May 1st – 3rd, 2026Upstate Anarchist Book Fair, Binghamton, NY, US, May 2nd – 3rd, 2026Constellation Anarchist Festival, Montreal, Canada, May 14th – 20th, 202654th Annual Rainbow Gathering, Northern California, US, July 1st – 7th, 2026Midwest Peace & Liberty Fest, Lake Satoshi, MI, US, August 6th – 9th, 2026Liberty International World Conference, Kathmandu, Nepal, August 7th – 9th, 2026Northeast Unschooling Conference, Pittsfield, MA, US, August 15th – 18th, 2026International Conference for Anarchist Studies, Manchester, UK, August 26th – 28th, 2026Free Cities Conference, Roatan, Honduras, September 3rd – 6th, 2026VonuFest, Illinois, US, September 21st – 28th, 2026AnarCon, Gore, VA, US, September 25th – 27th, 2026Memes BonanzaTruth Music of the WeekFight of the Century: Keynes vs. Hayek – Economics Rap Battle Round TwoLast week I syndicated Fear the Boom and the Bust, The Original Keynes vs. Hayek Rap Battle.This week is part two: Fight of the Century: Keynes vs. Hayek – Economics Rap Battle Round TwoBoth are Supercool Rare Finds from the The Truth Music Folder in: The Liberatorlibertarian Intentional Community Rounduplibertarian Intentional Community Roundup is where we cover libertarian and voluntaryist intentional communities and free private cities including Prospera (Honduras), The Free State Project (New Hampshire), Liberstad (Norway), Montelibero (Montenegro), Los Propietarios, (Argentina), Liberland (Croatia/Serbia border), Network States in general and Sea Steading (The Oceans).

+ How the Scam of Anarchapulco Fits into David Hughes “Three Camps of Awareness” ThesisDear Subscribers,The big story this week is my annual Public Service Announcement warning the Anarchapulco crowd about the scam of Anarchapulco, the TZLA machine, and Jeff Berwick. I mentioned in the story how David Hughes threw him an elbow in his recent article A Guide to Identifying Camp 2.In David’s article, he breaks down the three camps of awareness within the truth and liberty community:“Camp 1Camp 1 is for the “normies” who uncritically accept official narratives and generally believe whatever the legacy media tells them. They get their talking points from “the news.”Their worldview is the product of having been heavily propagandized their whole lives. They have never learned to see through the propaganda or to think for themselves, despite believing that “no one tells me what to think.”Although Camp 1 has been rapidly shrinking since 2020, it still accounts for most of society, which is why so-called “strategic narratives” remain effective.Camp 2Camp 2 is for those who have doubts about Camp 1. They may realise, for instance, that commercial airliners cannot completely destroy 110-story steel-framed skyscrapers, let alone collapse a 47-story steel-framed building without touching it.They realise that they have been lied to about highly significant events – by their own governments and by the broadcasters they once thought they could trust. They endure the emotional and psychological dislocation caused by that realisation.They discover, with relief, that they are not alone in Camp 2. There are many others like them who have lost trust in mainstream institutions and are asking critical questions about how power really works in today’s world. Some fall for the deceit that “we’re all in together,” united in the struggle against Camp 1.What they do not realise is that Camp 2 is just another holding pen. From the very beginning, it was designed to hoover up sceptics and contain dissent. Social media is, in that respect, a social containment mechanism.Camp 2 is led by well-known figures who dominate the “alternative media” scene. Their view counts tend to be artificially boosted by algorithms. Even when they are temporarily “cancelled,” they emerge in a better position than they were before.Their role it is to win the trust of those in Camp 2, only to keep a lid on potential resistance in various ways.Although they tell the truth on certain issues, their purpose is ultimately malign, i.e., to distract and mislead dissenters, so that the ugliest truths (which underpin the power structure) do not enter into public consciousness. Like the three witches in Macbeth, they “win us with honest trifles, to betray [u]s in deepest consequence.”It is not just the Pied Pipers of Camp 2 that matter. Everyone who follows their tune becomes an active disseminator of propaganda, as per NATO’s Cognitive Warfare doctrine of 2020. Thus, even seemingly well-intentioned actors can fall foul of Camp 2 propaganda and unwittingly serve as mouthpieces for it. In other words, not everyone in Camp 2 is a bad actor. Many simply get duped.Camp 2 is a space where grifters and opportunists thrive, exploiting public distrust of Camp 1 to win people over, mislead them, and take their money.To the uninitiated, Camp 2 seems like a bold and courageous place full of freedom fighters. In reality, it is a hall of mirrors.Camp 3Camp 3 is for those who are genuine about finding the truth and who pursue it in an authentic way. It does not claim to have “The Answers,” but it at least strives for an honest approximation of the truth.It is only a “camp” per se insofar as those in it feel marginalised, isolated, and stigmatised. It is a lonely and ugly place to be. Not only are the illusions of Camp 1 exposed, but so too are those of Camp 2. The sheer grotesqueness of the power structure reveals itself in ever finer detail.Those in Camp 3 are banned, shadow-banned, and otherwise censored. The algorithms work against them. Videos which are being watched tens of thousands of times show view counts in the tens or perhaps the hundreds.They are mistrusted, not only by those in Camp 1, but also many in Camp 2, who are not yet ready to process their ideas. For example, to some in Camp 2 it might seem radical to claim that “nanothermite” destroyed the Twin Towers, or that “SARS-Cov-2” was generated in a Wuhan lab rather than being naturally occurring. The idea that classified military technology was used on “9/11” or that the entire “Covid-19 pandemic” was a psychological operation, rather than a genuine public health emergency, is simply a bridge too far in terms of awareness.Those in Camp 3 are systematically targeted – by censorship, smear campaigns, harassment, lawfare, death threats, and even murder in extreme cases.”The Amazing Polly’s Cross-Promoting Narrative NetworkThe Biggest Secret of Camp 3… Is HOW you tell Camp 2 Controlled Opposition Operatives from Camp 3 Authentic VoicesAs you look through the Amazing Polly’s list of controlled opposition voices that I would posit are illustrative of the controlled opposition voices that are desperately trying to keep the masses in Camp 1 and 2, what is the common denominator that they all have in common?“Government” is legitimate…“Vote harder” in obviously rigged elections on unauditable black box voting machines and easily rigged elections using easily faked “mail-in ballots.” You will never ever hear a voluntaryist get to make a cogent explanation about the illegitimacy and criminality of “government” on one of their shows. Mel K had me on once, and after I obliterated the legitimacy of “government” she claimed the audio was bad and never aired/redid our interview.Many spend their time covering every verbal suplex, clothesline, and body slam of the fake wrestling matches that make up Washington politics, but will never tell the audience that the game is rigged and McMahons own both wrestlers.You will never hear them nor allow anyone else to question the illogical premises upon which “government” is based:The inability to delegate rights not possessed by the people to representatives,The inability to be bound by a “social contract” you didn’t sign,The immorality and illogic of “democracy” (mob rule, gang rape).On the other side of the equation, Hughes correctly positions Jeff Berwick in “Camp 2” for his unsavory reputation as a scammer, which makes him easily controllable with limited opportunities for honest collaborations with reputable people. Hughes correctly points out his funding relies on scamming people with the TZLA Machine,BUT evidently, didn’t understand the evidence of Berwick’s larger crime:Berwick, and the cast of HBO’s The Anarchists, are/were designed, nay cast, to make people who don’t believe in “government” look bad to the folks in Camps 1 & 2.They were/are being used to TRICK 1-2 MILLION people into having a bad view of people who don’t believe in “government.” It would have been more but the docuseries propaganda hit piece SUCKED so it had limited ratings.See how the whole operation fits into the Strategic Narrative Management – Flow of Influence described aboveThe Intelligence Agencies Created the Strategy:“Make Voluntaryism/Anarchy/Anarcho-Capitalism” Look Bad while Decapitalizing, Steering, Stalling, and Blunting the authentic participants.- Crowd gather an authentic movement (voluntaryists, anarcho-capitalists, crypto-anarchists, and peaceful anarchists) using agency social media platformso Turn up Anarchapulco/Anarchast content while turning down/shadowbanning/deplatforming authentic voices- Steer an authentic, developing movement into controlled opposition voices and/or voices easy to dismisso Jeff Berwick – Conman, Drunkard, Womanizer,o Luke Rudkowski – Outed for gatekeeping on Israel, Trump, 9-11 Truth, Promoted masks/viruses during “The Covid”o Adam Kokesh – Armed march on DC, deals drugs into the movement, worked for Russian media operation (RT)o David “It’s A-lie-ns” Icke – Much good content tarnished with a-lie-enso Stew Peters – Trump supporter, fake left-right paradigm, cartoonish anti-semitismo Dayna Martin – “Do As Though Wilt” Unschooling, Designed to make homeschooling look bad,o Miranda Webb / Lilly Forester – The Anarchist character: dirty, facial lesions, drug dealer,- Stall its growtho Locate the conference in the most dangerous city in the hemisphere… fear… fear..o Tailor facebook/twitter/x to those that have already figured out “government” is a scam, while shadow banning content to those identified as trapped in fake left-right paradigm- Deal/distribute drugs & alcohol into the movement to blunt its effectivenesso Sanctioned cocaine & weed dealers operating from multiple hotel rooms- Rip off the crowd to keep the movement underfunded vs. what it could be otherwise while funding the operationo Crypto “Pump & Dumps,” Galt’s Gulch Chile, Passport Scams, Ponzi Schemes like Bitclub, rip-off “medical devices” like the TZLA machine- Film hit-pieces on the movement and distribute them on monopoly media streaming and “news platforms” while amplifying through other monopoly media and social media platformo The Anarchists HBO Docuseries- Real Anarchapulco ad promoting flat earth and discredited speakersPush Obvious “Fake News,” Nonsense, Discredited Speakers, and Cartoonish Anti-Semitism into Berwick’s audience to get his followers to shoot their credibility with their friends, family and colleagues.o The ShemitahYou can get the rest of of the story in our feature story: Anarchapulco, The TZLA Machine and the Many, Many Other Scams of Jeff BerwickIMPORTANT – We are now being massively censored on Substack.

The Dramatic Acceleration of our Current Economic Collapse…(Nixon Takes Us off The Gold Standard and Dollar Debasement and Economic Collapse Begins)Top Stories of the WeekAnarchapulco, The TZLA Machine and the Many, Many Other Scams of Jeff BerwickEtienne Note: If you aren’t familiar with Jeff Berwick then this might be “inside baseball,” the key takeaway is that we believe the intelligence agencies are trying to “smear & steer” the voluntaryist and peaceful anarchism movement using a controlled opposition clown named Jeff Berwick who is simultaneously ripping off libertarians and voluntaryists in what appears to be an effort to both simultaneously fund the intelligence agency operations with scam medical energy devices, “pump and dump” crypto scams, Ponzi schemes (Bit Club), land scams (Galts Gulch Chile), and passport scams while simultaneously DEFUNDING voluntarists and peaceful anarchists while stealing the oxygen from authentic voices and conferences.The Anarchapulco Conference (Anarchy in Acapulco… Which has moved to Puerto Vallarta) gets started next week so I wanted to do my usual Public Service Message for the newbie attendees who aren’t familiar with the Scam of Anarchapulco, the TZLA machine and the many, many scams of Jeff Berwick. David Hughes threw him an elbow in his recent article: A Guide to Identifying Camp 2, so I thought I would pile on as well.Interestingly, I was invited to be a speaker at Anarchapulco this year by Jeff Berwick himself. Last year I was in Acapulco for the wedding of some friends who met at Anarchapulco and are long time attendees.Berwick showed up at the cool kids party I was at with his family, TZLA machine and Max Igan. I was polite and asked him if he wanted to discuss my investigation into Anarchapulco and he did. So I sat down next to him and began taking him, and the cool kids, through what I had discovered by doing a real deal investigation into Anarchapulco and interviewing eight different Jeff Berwick employees, Anarchapulco team members, and conference attendees including multiple “cast members” from HBO’s hit piece: The Anarchists.Continue reading…Videos of the WeekTo See the Cage is to Leave It, Statism & The Great American Illusion – Etienne on Forbidden Knowledge NewsArt of Liberty Foundation founder Etienne de la Boetie2 was a guest on Forbidden Knowledge News where he kicked around his thesis that Donald Trump has been propped up in business by Rothschild/Zionist interests (The Rothschilds did his last major bankruptcy restructuring) while his legend was created by Zionist theatrical agent Ari Emanuel (Brother of Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel) while his best friend, Jeffrey Epstein, was an apparent Mossad agent and claimed to represent the Rothschilds in a new e-mail released under the Epstein files and was paid at least $25 million by them for consulting.Finally, Trump’s main source of campaign financing was over $420M from the Sheldon and Miriam Adelson, Zionist billionaires closely tied to the “government” of Israel. The “Quid Pro Quo,” Trump increased US “Aid” to Israel from around $3.2 Billion in 2016 to $3.8 Billion a year by 2018 (first term), to $20 Billion in 2024, including an additional $17 Billion Package granted during Biden but distributed under Trump.I also took the audience through the first 14 techniques that I cover in my new book: To See the Cage is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many.Continue reading…“Government”, Media and AcademiaCriminality ExposedThese articles also appears in “Government”, Media and Academia Criminality Exposed, A digest of HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of articles exposing and suggesting inter-generational organized crime’s control of the “Government,” Media and Academia by the Art of Liberty Foundation.

According to Lutnick, their interactions consisted of one trip to Epstein’s home in New York City in 2005, three years before Epstein was convicted. Lutnick, who was Epstein’s neighbor, said he found the visit so disturbing that he decided not to have any further contact with Epstein. “That’s my story,” Lutnick said. “A one and absolutely done.”Lutnick said that after moving into his home in 2005, he and his wife were invited to Epstein’s house for coffee. (Lutnick emphasized that Epstein was “arrested in like, ‘08, I think.”) While he was there, Epstein offered to give Lutnick and his wife a tour of his house. During the tour, Epstein opened some double doors off the dining room to reveal “a massage table in the middle of the room and candles all around and stuff.” Lutnick asked Epstein how often he got massages. “Every day,” Epstein said, according to Lutnick. “And the right kind of massage.”After that comment, according to Lutnick’s account, he and his wife immediately told Epstein they had to go. Then, “in the six or eight steps it takes to get from his house to my house, my wife and I decided that I will never be in the room with that disgusting person ever again.” Lutnick declared, unequivocally, that, after that day, “I was never in the room with [Epstein] socially, for business, or even philanthropy” because “he’s gross.”Continue reading…Epstein, Trump & Mossad – it’s worse than you think – LowkeyEtienne Note: Even more facts and evidence that back up Etienne’s Epic (Fact-Checked!)

Led by top Trump fundraiser Brian Ballard, the firm raked in more than 200 new clients in the wake of Trump’s election win, setting a new record for lobbying revenue last year, topping $88.1 million.The Florida-founded firm, which employed Attorney General Pam Bondi and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, is known for its founder’s decades-long relationship with Trump and his ability to set meetings with the president and the executive branch. Brian Ballard reportedly raised over $50 million for Trump’s 2024 campaign.Many of its biggest spenders in 2025 were foreign companies or clients with significant foreign business interests. Ballard reported millions of dollars in payments from clients including oil and gas company Balkan Energy, based in Albania; TotalEnergies, for its liquified natural gas project in Mozambique; critical minerals company Korea Zinc; and TikTok, as its Chinese owner ByteDance negotiated new U.S. ownership.Continue reading…“Daily News of The Week”The Characteristics of the Super Bowl Ritual – A Vampiric Profit & Energy Transference to the Adversaryby TriTorchUnlike television, nature does not steal time; it amplifies it.―Richard Louv, Last Child in the WoodsAuthor’s Note: Fair warning, we cover a broad range of topics Our Here On the Perimeter.

But it now comes with a catch: If voters know the money comes from an organization advocating on behalf of Israel, it can do more harm than good.AIPAC road-tested its stealth approach in a 2024 House primary in Oregon that pitted Susheela Jayapal, the sister of Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), against physician Maxine Dexter. Dexter raised relatively little money throughout much of her campaign, then saw a last-minute deluge organized by AIPAC coupled with outside spending through super PACs, which themselves turned out to be funded by AIPAC. The timing of the donations meant that there was no meaningful transparency before voters went to the polls, and Dexter expressed a mixture of ignorance and umbrage when her opponents suggested the money actually came from AIPAC.The main super PAC in question (named 314 Action) explicitly denied that any funding came from AIPAC—a claim revealed as a flagrant lie once disclosure records finally became public. But by then, Dexter had triumphed and was on her way to Congress.Continue reading…The world heard JD Vance being booed at the Olympics. Except for viewers in the USEtienne Note: The most powerful weapon in the world is “Control of Perception.” Can they trick the public into thinking that CIA-installed “Created Legend” JD Vance is popular with the American people so he can be installed into the presidency once they are done with Trump.by Bryan Armen GrahamThe modern Olympics sell themselves on a simple premise: the whole world, watching the same moment, at the same time. On Friday night in Milan, that illusion fractured in real time.When Team USA entered San Siro during the parade of nations, the speed skater Erin Jackson led the delegation into a wall of cheers. Moments later, when cameras cut to US vice-president JD Vance and second lady Usha Vance, large sections of the crowd responded with boos. Not subtle ones, but audible and sustained ones. Canadian viewers heard them. Journalists seated in the press tribunes in the upper deck, myself included, clearly heard them. But as I quickly realized from a groupchat with friends back home, American viewers watching NBC did not.On its own, the situation might once have passed unnoticed. But the defining feature of the modern sports media landscape is that no single broadcaster controls the moment any more. CBC carried it. The BBC liveblogged it. Fans clipped it. Within minutes, multiple versions of the same happening were circulating online – some with boos, some without – turning what might once have been a routine production call into a case study in information asymmetry.Continue reading…Less than 14% of those arrested by ICE in Trump’s 1st year back in office had violent criminal records, document showsby Camilo Montoya-GalvezLess than 14% of nearly 400,000 immigrants arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in President Trump’s first year back in the White House had charges or convictions for violent criminal offenses, according to an internal Department of Homeland Security document obtained by CBS News.The official statistics contained in the DHS document, which had not been previously reported publicly, provide the most detailed look yet into who ICE has arrested during the Trump administration’s far-reaching deportation operations across the U.S.The internal DHS figures undermine frequent assertions by the Trump administration that its crackdown on illegal immigration is primarily targeting dangerous and violent criminals living in the U.S. illegally, people Mr. Trump and his lieutenants have regularly called the “worst of the worst.”The statistics show ICE has dramatically increased arrests since Mr. Trump’s return to office. Nearly 60% of ICE arrestees over the past year had criminal charges or convictions, the document indicates. But among that population, the majority of the criminal charges or convictions are not for violent crimes.Continue reading…At Least 112 USAF C-17 Aircraft Headed To Middle East: ‘Desert Storm Levels’by Tyler DurdenAn eye-opening and massive number of C-17 Globemaster military transport and cargo planes have been observed heading to Europe and the Middle East, in what some monitors have forewarned looks like the build-up to major war in Iran.One regional watcher and pundit commented in response: “112 C-17s are in or on their way to the Middle East. Guys, that’s a lot. Like Desert Storm a lot. Stay tuned.”This as on Friday the prominent open source account Armchair Admiral and others used public flight tracking data to tally that the huge armada of US Air Force C-17s and counting are en route – a trend since mid-January.“A total of 112 U.S. Air Force C-17’s have now either arrived or are en route to the Middle East with a further 17-18 in-progress flights, a number of Royal Air Force logistics flights from RAF Marham to RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, and movement on U.S. Air Force CORONETs,” the source said.Continue reading…David Hughes: A Guide to Identifying Camp 2Etienne Note: This was a really good overview of how society is being split into three camps of awareness but I was disappointed to see James Corbett tarred for association with Richard Gage, who has done some good work for 9-11 Truth even if folks don’t agree with every theory he has or would like to see him address Judy Wood’s important work. I was also disappointed that David didn’t link to our expose on Jeff Berwick and his scam $11,000 TZLA Machine that produces “God Energy” from a plastic toolbox so I pro-modified the story and added links to our work in that section. I also added The Amazing Polly’s visualization of The Cross Promoting Narrative Network as I thought that was the best visual representation of what David described as the “well-known figures who dominate the “alternative media” scene. Their view counts tend to be artificially boosted by algorithms. Even when they are temporarily “cancelled,” they emerge in a better position than they were before.Their role it is to win the trust of those in Camp 2, only to keep a lid on potential resistance in various ways.”by David A.

It turns out one intelligence source affirmed what we all already knew: Epstein was a spy. But you’ll never guess who he was working for…Russia! Surprise!

Lost twenty bucks on the game and drove home happy. Normal Friday. Normal life. Normal people doing what normal people do.Last Friday night some billionaire asshat raped children on camera.They use the footage to blackmail the men who run the world. The cameras are new. The ritual is not. Long before anyone had a lens, there were stone altars in the Valley of Hinnom where children burned alive to feed a god named Moloch while priests beat drums to drown out the screaming. The method evolved. The sacrament never did. Jeffrey Epstein did not invent this operation. He modernized it.Continue reading…Journal Retracts Unethical Glyphosate Safety Study 25 Years LaterEtienne Note: Please see my article: Understanding Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) and Monopoly Seed Consolidation to understand why companies that make chemical warfare agents for the military (Monsanto, Bayer, Dow, and DuPont) are putting toxins like Glyphosate, Atrazine, rBGH, and Genetically Modified Organisms into food supply while buying up and monopolizing over 200+ seed companies so farmers will one day won’t be able to get anything but GMO seeds and/or terminator seeds.by Dr. Joseph MercolaA highly influential 2000 glyphosate safety study long cited by regulators worldwide was retracted after evidence showed it was ghostwritten by Monsanto scientists and misrepresented as independent researchInternal company emails revealed Monsanto planned, wrote, and celebrated the paper as a strategic tool to defend Roundup and Roundup Ready crops during a crucial period of expiring patentsDespite ghostwriting being exposed in a 2017 litigation, the study continued shaping research, regulation, and public perception for years, accumulating more than 1,300 citations before a long-delayed retractionContinue reading…Pentagon Makes Largest Known Arms Purchase From Israel — For Banned Cluster Weaponsby Dan GlaunThe Department of Defense has quietly signed a $210 million deal to buy advanced cluster shells from one of Israel’s state-owned arms companies, marking unusually large new commitments to a class of weapons and an Israeli defense establishment both widely condemned for their indiscriminate killing of civilians.The deal, signed in September and not previously reported, is the department’s largest contract to purchase weapons from an Israeli company in available records, according to an online federal database that covers the last 18 years. In a reversal of the more commonly seen direction for weapons transfers between the countries — in which the U.S. sends its weapons to Israel — the U.S. will pay the Israeli weapons firm Tomer over a period of three years to produce a new 155mm munition. The shells are designed to replace decades-old and often defective cluster shells that left live explosives scattered across Vietnam, Laos, Iraq, and other nations.The terror of cluster weapons persists long after the guns that fired them have quieted, as civilians return to fields, forests, and settlements laced with bomblets that can explode years later without warning.“The footprint of the injuries of these weapons is so horrifying,” said Alma Taslidžan, advocacy manager for the aid organization Humanity & Inclusion, which pushes to ban cluster munitions. She recalled speaking with a 17-year-old boy who found an unexploded cluster bomblet in his neighbor’s garden in the aftermath of the Bosnian War.“Continue reading…How Men Choose Womenby Sotiris RexMen who grew up without men (real men) in their lives don’t know what manhood is. They define their “masculinity” by male caricatures: the womaniser, the thug, the bully, the tough guy, the fuckboy, the attention whore, the obsessive hobbyist, the suave pretender, the power-needy dominator who takes himself too seriously.Very few define masculinity as what it truly is: having solid principles, standing up for them when it matters, and standing up for yourself, even if it means speaking truth to power and losing for doing so. Because there is nothing worse than losing yourself… and if you lose in life, to keep the principles that define who you are, then you win.Weak males who never had strong masculine role models growing up don’t know how to choose women. So they go after flashy women who will serve as objects of validation in the eyes of their peers.“She’s gorgeous; tall, blonde, with green eyes, and when I take her back home with her on the back of my motorbike, everyone will lose their minds!” This is the exact quote of an older cousin of mine describing the woman he would later go on to marry and have a disastrous shitshow of a marriage with. I was a child at the time, but even then, I could see his overexcited declaration as a desperate cry for validation, a shallow neediness that screamed insecurity.Continue reading…Unfit People Face 775% Higher Risk Of Blowing Their Top From Stressful Momentsby Thalles Guilarducci CostaPeople with below-average cardiorespiratory fitness face a far higher risk of experiencing severe anxiety spikes when exposed to stressful situations compared to those with above-average fitnessLess-fit individuals showed significantly larger increases in both anxiety and anger when confronted with disturbing images, suggesting fitness acts as emotional armor against daily stressorsThe relationship between fitness and anxiety works both ways: high anxiety reduces physical activity, which lowers fitness and increases anxiety vulnerability in a self-perpetuating cycleRegular aerobic exercise offers a non-drug solution for managing anxiety and anger, with physically fit people showing better emotional control and faster recovery from stressful eventsContinue reading…Is Brain Rot Real?

Internet Reveals Other Epsten Email Authors.by James Li, Ro Khanna, et al.Representative Thomas Massie pressured the Justice Department (DOJ) to unredact billionaire and former Victoria Secret CEO Les Wexner’s name in the Epstein files. The DOJ has been caught redacting the names of rich, famous and powerful people instead, in violation of federal law. And FBI director Kash Patel testified to Congress that his agency had no evidence of other sex traffickers and may have committed perjury.Massie said that the DOJ revealed that Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem was the recipient of an email from Epstein who told Sulayem that he “loved the torture video.”Internet sleuths also revealed email conversations between Epstein and other individuals, including Susan Hamblin, Peggy Siegal, Eva Dubin and Tom Pritzker, in some of the darkest exchanges about child rape, human trafficking and murder. This is just a sample – there are many more.Congressman Ro Khanna unveiled the names of 6 more powerful men who were redacted in the Epstein Files:Continue reading…Canada approves genetically modified pork for human consumptionEtienne Note: Please see my article: Understanding Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) and Monopoly Seed Consolidation to understand why companies that make chemical warfare agents for the military (Monsanto, Bayer, Dow, and DuPont) are putting toxins like Glyphosate, Atrazine, rBGH, and Genetically Modified Organisms into food supply while buying up and monopolizing over 200+ seed companies so farmers will one day won’t be able to get anything but GMO seeds and/or terminator seeds.by Anthony Murdoch(LifeSiteNews) — Canadians may soon be unaware they are eating genetically modified pork products after Health Canada approved human consumption of the modified pigs.Late last month, officials from Health Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) said it is “safe” for Canadians to eat pork that has been genetically modified so that they do not contract porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome viruses (PRRSV).The modification to the pigs’ genes includes a small part of the gene associated with PRRSV removed.Continue reading…AAP Sued for Allegedly Misleading Public About Safety of Childhood Vaccinesby Carolyn Hendler, JDThe non-profit Children’s Health Defense (CHD) and several individual plaintiffs filed a civil lawsuit against the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The complaint alleges that AAP engaged in a coordinated and long-running scheme to mislead families and physicians about the safety of the childhood vaccine schedule. The claims are brought under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, often referred to as the RICO Act.The lawsuit seeks declaratory relief, injunctive relief, and monetary damages. Rather than challenging individual vaccination decisions, the complaint focuses on how vaccine safety has been publicly advertised and represented to parents and pediatricians. The plaintiffs assert that vaccine safety claims were presented by the AAP as settled and categorical, while known limitations in safety data were not disclosed.According to the complaint, AAP’s institutional authority gave its public statements substantial weight in clinical settings and in parental decision-making The plaintiffs are asking the court to issue a judicial declaration that AAP’s conduct violated the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act and to order AAP to stop making further unqualified safety claims and to disclose certain information.The lawsuit is brought under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, codified at 18 U.S.C. §§ 1961 through 1964. The RICO Act authorizes civil lawsuits by private plaintiffs who can allege and prove specific statutory elements. Those elements include the existence of an enterprise, participation in the enterprise’s affairs, and a pattern of racketeering activity.Continue reading…How A Bad Night’s Sleep Affects The Brain’s Cleaning Systemby Tyler DurdenAuthored by George Citroner via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours)Most of us have experienced this: You stayed up a bit too late the night before, and although your body turned up to work, your mind was elsewhere.Blanking out during the day is common for the sleep-deprived, and now researchers have found out why it happens.When people experience attention lapses after poor sleep, a wave of cerebrospinal fluid flows out of the brain.Continue reading…Watch: Bondi Explodes Over Epstein During Shouting Match With Massie And Top Demsby Tyler DurdenOn Wednesday, Attorney General Pam Bondi clashed repeatedly with Democrats during a tense House Judiciary Committee hearing, deflecting pointed questions about the Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein files before the session devolved into a shouting match with Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) over redactions, co-conspirators and DOJ accountability.The fireworks began when Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) pressed Bondi on whether DOJ has indicted or is investigating any of Epstein’s alleged co-conspirators, citing what he called “concrete evidence of disgusting criminality” in recently released files. Bondi attempted to sidestep the question; when Nadler repeated it, she raised her voice and insisted she would “answer the question the way I want to answer the question,” talking over Nadler as colleagues tried to intercede. As the exchange escalated, Bondi pivoted away from Epstein entirely – invoking the Dow, S&P and Nasdaq and touting retirement accounts.Continue reading…Specialised U.S. Air Defence Suppression Unit Redeploys F-35A Stealth Fighters to Britain as Conflict with Iran Loomsby Military Watch MagazineThe U.S. Air Force has redeployed half dozen F–35A fifth generation fighters to RAF Lakenheath in the United Kingdom on February 9, according to flight tracking data, representing one of the latest developments in a more than month long surge in the U.S. military presence in Europe and the Middle East. The fighters were deployed by the Vermont Air National Guard’s 158th Fighter Wing, and departed Burlington Air National Guard base on the morning of February 9 accompanied by three KC–135 Stratotankers which provided refuelling support. Six other F–35s from the same squadron have also redeployed to Spain, after having briefly been temporarily based at newly restored facilities in Puerto Rico. U.S. Marine Corps F-35C fighters have already been deployed to the Middle East onboard the nuclear powered supercarrier USS Abraham Lincoln.The 158th Fighter Wing is a specialised air defence suppression unit, which is a capability that is expected to be particularly highly valued in the event of conflict with Iran, much as it was with Venezuela, as both countries lack significantly fleets of modern fighter aircraft and rely heavily on ground-based air defences to counter modern air power. Developed in the post-Cold War years, when ground-based air defences were seen to pose a greater challenge to Western Bloc air dominance than enemy combat aviation, the F-35 is already heavily specialised in air defence suppression operations, with its unique passive sensor array, combined with world leading stealth capabilities and a powerful electronic warfare suite, making it well suited for such roles. Nevertheless, there remain differences between units in how they are equipped and how they train, depending on their specialisation.Continue reading…The Coded Journals in the Epstein Files That Hide a Teenage Girl’s Horrific Storyby Vigilant CitizenFound inside “Dataset 12” of the Epstein files are journals written by a teenage victim using cryptic messages. Once decoded, these texts tell the horrific story of a slave who was turned into a “human incubator” for babies she never saw again. Here’s a look at this obscure part of the Epstein files.On January 30th, the Department of Justice published 3.5 million pages in compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. This release contained innumerable images, videos, and documents that could confirm several “conspiracy theories,” once the dots are connected.Inside the zip file named “Dataset 12” is one of the many rabbit holes found in the Epstein files. And this one is particularly poignant because it is not written from the standpoint of a professional, but from a teenage sex slave coping with unimaginable trauma.Indeed, among the thousands of documents in the zip file created by attorneys and law enforcement are scans of journals kept by a teenage girl whose name has been redacted. Using magazine cutouts and handwritten coded messages, the journals document a horrific story of sexual slavery and repeated pregnancies … at 16 years old.Continue reading…Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporateBy Mohammad MansourAt dawn on August 10, 2024, Yasmin Mahani walked through the smoking ruins of al-Tabin school in Gaza City, searching for her son, Saad. She found her husband screaming, but of Saad, there was no trace.“I went into the mosque and found myself stepping on flesh and blood,” Mahani told Al Jazeera Arabic for an investigation that aired on Monday. She searched hospitals and morgues for days. “We found nothing of Saad. Not even a body to bury. That was the hardest part.”Mahani is one of thousands of Palestinians whose loved ones have simply vanished during Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, which has killed more than 72,000 people.According to the Al Jazeera Arabic investigation, The Rest of the Story, Civil Defence teams in Gaza have documented 2,842 Palestinians who have “evaporated” since the war began in October 2023, leaving behind no remains other than blood spray or small fragments of flesh.Continue reading…Dissecting the Religion of Vaccinesby A Midwestern DoctorStory at a Glance:•As more people awaken to the dangers of vaccines, they discover a persistent problem vaccine safety advocates have faced for decades: talking to vaccine zealots is like speaking to a brick wall.•Regardless of the evidence presented, you cannot reach them—sometimes it feels like speaking to religious fanatics unwilling to consider the “blasphemy you’re spewing forth.”•This is deliberate, as vaccines have been enshrined as the holy water which baptizes you into the faith of Western medicine and became the “miracle” the superiority of modern medicine is based upon.Continue reading…Trump Admin Rescues the UN — and Increases the Education Department’s Budgetby Paul DraguThe Trump administration has no intention of letting the UN collapse under the weight of its bloat and uselessness. Moreover, the government funding package President Donald Trump signed into law last week includes an increase of hundreds of millions in funding for the Education Department.The United States government will soon give billions of dollars in unpaid member dues to the UN, which is — nay, was — on the brink of “financial collapse,” according to comments UN Secretary-General António Guterres made in late January. According to Reuters, the United States “will make an initial payment towards the billions of dollars it owes to the United Nations in a matter of weeks.” U.S. ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz said this during a phone interview. “You’ll certainly see an initial tranche of money very shortly,” he told Reuters. “It’ll be a significant … down payment on our annual dues…. I don’t believe that the ultimate figure is decided, but it’ll be in a matter of weeks.”Continue reading…Upcoming Liberty EventsMONEROTOPIA 2026-Roma, Mexico City, February 12TH-15TH 2026Entrepreneurship Beyond Politics: Mises Circle in Oklahoma City – Feb 21st, OKC, OKFreedom Under Natural Law Conference – February 21st & 22nd 2026, On-lineThe Liberty Forum (NH Free State Project Conference) – March 5th-8th – Concord, NHMises Institute Libertarian Scholars Conference – March 19, 2026, at our Auburn, ALAustrian Economic Research Conference 2026 – March 19-21, 2026, Auburn, ALThe Mammals in Memphis – April 18th – Details to Come!Confluence – April 23rd-26th – Bandera, TexasRothbard University-May 14-16, 2026, Auburn, ALLibertarian Scholars Conference 2026- March 19, 2026 – March 19, 2026 – Auburn, Alabama.Free Cities Foundation Conference – September 3–6, 2026 – Prospera, Roatan, HondurasMemes BonanzaTruth Music of the WeekFear the Boom and Bust: Keynes vs. Hayek – The Original Economics Rap Battle!Another Supercool Rare Find from the The Truth Music Folder in: The Liberatorlibertarian Intentional Community Rounduplibertarian Intentional Community Roundup is where we cover libertarian and voluntaryist intentional communities and free private cities including Prospera (Honduras), The Free State Project (New Hampshire), Liberstad (Norway), Montelibero (Montenegro), Los Propietarios, (Argentina), Liberland (Croatia/Serbia border), Network States in general and Sea Steading (The Oceans).

+ We Are Now Getting Censored on EVERY SINGLE PLATFORMDear Subscribers,Our main story this issue is an article I wrote on: The Great Taking. The book and documentary by David Rogers Webb exposing how the organized crime banks have have been working quietly behind the scenes for decades to change the UCC in all 50 States AND engineer the “Dematerialization” of stock ownership from physical stock certificates and a status of private property to electronic ownership and a new legal definition of a “Security Entitlement.”In the case of a financial crisis (or what appears to be the banks setting up an engineered financial crisis for this specific purpose) that would bankrupt fiduciaries such as stock brokers, pension funds, and broker-dealers……then the banks would assume the role of secured creditors and the specific stocks that you currently believe you own in your brokerage account are actually being held in a unsegregated “pool” where they can be electronically swept up through institutions like the Depository Trust in the US and Euroclear in Europe. You “might” eventually get a token settlement in depreciated dollars OR a new Central Bank Digital Currency in a dollar collapse or massive devaluation BUT the ownership of the assets will be taken from you and 98% of other market participants.I break down why the organized crime banks would do this in the article…I also break down how they have done something very similar before… in 1933.. the last “Great Taking” where they stole the American people’s gold!Substack Is Censoring Our Content… Now There are NO Major Platforms That Are Not Controlled.In the last issue of Five Meme Friday, I shared in my subscriber letter how Substack began censoring us after they received $100M from some shady “investors” in July of 2025. I shared screenshots how our (and OTHER liberty-oriented creators) saw our revenue and subscribers fall dramatically at the exact same time.I also shared screenshots where our articles from the Daily News were not being shared with the people who had subscribed to our content.This week I am sharing some screenshots where the same dynamic is happening with Five Meme Friday on Substack. We have over 9,000+ subscribers to Five Meme Friday on our house e-mail list (Where over half of those go into Spam even though we have never spammed anyone) but we syndicate the content to an additional 1800+ subscribers including paid subscribers who are essentially paying Substack through the fee they charge us both to email them our content. Substack is not living up to their part of the bargain. They have also quit syndicating Five Meme Friday… See the drop-off below.For those of you who don’t use Substack, they have a Twitter/x/Facebook-style feed where content shows up from the authors you subscribe to when they publish something. It doesn’t appear like they are syndicating our content to that feed either.Interestingly, they are “masterbating me,” by putting it into my feed to make it look like they are syndicating it to other people. See below.We are, relatively, the “new kids on the block” where our content is being pruned down on, now, EVERY SINGLE MAJOR PLATFORM: Twitter/X, YouTube, Facebook, and now Substack. We were just getting started on Facebook in 2018 when our Etienne de la Boetie2 account was deleted off the platform.Our Art of Liberty Foundation Facebook Page hasn’t really moved in years even as we have added 12,000+ subscribers on Substack and 10,000+ on our house e-mail, essentially doubling each and every year.Jason Bassler of the Free State Project had a considerable head start on us and had amassed over 3.1 MILLION followers on Facebook before that platform began censoring in 2018. They deleted ALL of his followers on October 11th 2018. Twitter deleted his account with 21,000 followers on the same day AND they got a strike on their YouTube account on the same day showing coordination between ostensibly independent and unaffiliated platforms.He started another Facebook page and built it up to 132K followers by February of 2019. They deleted that page on February 5th, 2019.He built a third page and grew that to 22,000 followers until they deleted that on May 23rd, 2019.These are organized crime companies that have monopolized every major communications platform and are censoring truth tellers off their platforms.Voluntaryist and libertarian ideas would be winning on a level playing field BUT organized crime is cheating. We need all the help we can get JUST TO STAY IN THE GAME!!!Please don’t sponsor us on Substack! Please help us through our Sponsorship program on the Art of Liberty Foundation website. We have some great premiums to say THANK YOU! AND we will give you a free subscription to the Substack until we move to another platform.artofliberty.org/sponsorship-program/We are getting ready for our yearly sponsorship campaign to help fund those and other initiatives. I am looking for some “heavy hitters” to help anchor the campaign with some matching donations and/or challenge grants. Please e-mail me at Etienne (at) ArtOfLiberty.org if you would like to help.

I am embarrassed to admit that while we first reported on The Great Taking in October of 2023, and multiple times since in the Daily News from the Art of Liberty Foundation, it took me this long to really grasp the absolute true importance until I read the whole book. I had assumed I understood what was going on based on interviews I had seen with the author, boil downs, and discussions with others especially Matt White, an Art of Liberty Foundation Advisory Board Member, who has been in the middle of the fight to bring this to prominence and organize resistance. It wasn’t until I finally read the book and watched the documentary last month that it really clicked.The Great Taking is, quite literally, a 44 Magnum pointed at the face of humanity.

The “Quid Pro Quo,” Trump increased US “Aid” to Israel from around $3.2 Billion in 2016 to $3.8 Billion a year by 2018 (first term), to $20 Billion in 2024, including an additional $17 Billion Package granted during Biden but distributed under Trump.I also took the audience through the first 14 techniques that I cover in my new book: To See the Cage is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many.Continue reading…“Government”, Media and AcademiaCriminality ExposedThese articles also appears in “Government”, Media and Academia Criminality Exposed, A digest of HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of articles exposing and suggesting inter-generational organized crime’s control of the “Government,” Media and Academia by the Art of Liberty Foundation.

The buyers would pay half up front, steering $187 million to Trump family entities.The deal with World Liberty Financial, which hasn’t previously been reported, was signed by Eric Trump, the president’s son. At least $31 million was also slated to flow to entities affiliated with the family of Steve Witkoff, a World Liberty co-founder who weeks earlier had been named U.S. envoy to the Middle East, the documents said.The Daily News from the Art of Liberty Foundation is a reader-supported publication.

He stormed in with a promise to “drain the swamp,” but trailing in his shadow was Jared Kushner, carrying a tangled web of private financial networks, offshore holdings, and foreign capital so deeply embedded it functioned like a quiet engine at the heart of the presidency. Years later, FBI documents released alongside the Epstein files crystallised the danger, with a Confidential Human Source (CHS) alleging that Trump had been compromised by Israel, and that Kushner was the true centre of gravity, orchestrating both the Trump Organisation and the White House from within.Continue reading…Epstein, Trump & Mossad – it’s worse than you think – LowkeyEtienne Note: Even more facts and evidence that back up Etienne’s Epic (Fact-Checked!)

Led by top Trump fundraiser Brian Ballard, the firm raked in more than 200 new clients in the wake of Trump’s election win, setting a new record for lobbying revenue last year, topping $88.1 million.The Florida-founded firm, which employed Attorney General Pam Bondi and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, is known for its founder’s decades-long relationship with Trump and his ability to set meetings with the president and the executive branch. Brian Ballard reportedly raised over $50 million for Trump’s 2024 campaign.Many of its biggest spenders in 2025 were foreign companies or clients with significant foreign business interests. Ballard reported millions of dollars in payments from clients including oil and gas company Balkan Energy, based in Albania; TotalEnergies, for its liquified natural gas project in Mozambique; critical minerals company Korea Zinc; and TikTok, as its Chinese owner ByteDance negotiated new U.S. ownership.Continue reading…“Daily News of The Week”New Research Undermines ‘Burn Fat to Lose Fat’ Claim in Obesity Treatmentby Dr. Joseph MercolaNew research shows that restoring glucose oxidation through the PDH enzyme — not burning more fat — is the key driver of meaningful and sustainable fat lossObese animals lost fat while preserving muscle once PDH activity was restored, revealing a metabolic repair pathway that supports long-term weight control and higher energyHuman muscle studies show that people with flexible fuel switching burn fat during fasting and glucose after meals, while metabolically rigid muscle stays stuck and promotes fat storageFitness-focused interventions improve insulin sensitivity by strengthening mitochondrial function and restoring proper timing between fat use and glucose handlingContinue reading…Iowa Bill Would Require Medical Examiners to Include Vaccine Records in Infant Death Investigationsby Brenda Baletti, Ph.D.,The DefenderThis article was originally published by The Defender — Children’s Health Defense’s News & Views Website.Iowa legislators are considering a bill that would require medical examiners to document recent immunizations on the death certificates of children who died from unknown causes, KIMT3 News reported.Bill sponsor Rep. Samantha Fett of Warren County said this information is important to understand what might be behind deaths categorized as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).“The U.S. continues to have a high SIDS rate compared to every other industrialized nation,” Fett told The Defender. “I believe it is time to start gathering this information for the parents of the children who have died.”Continue reading…Iain Davis: What is a 15-Minute City?by Iain DavisThe 15-minute city (FMC) is an urban planning concept designed to meet the sustainability targets and indicators pursuant with Sustainable Development Goal 11 (SDG 11). The international construction of 15-minute cities is a global project that is being rolled out in the UK in cities like Oxford and Bath.The local council’s FMC objective in Bath is to establish a “movement strategy” to engineer “how people move” and “how space is shared.” This will “shift” resident “away from decades of car dependency” and will instead compel them to prioritise “sustainable travel”—walking, cycling and public transport.The overarching ambition in Bath is to achieve “climate goals.” The local authority is, like nearly every other UK local authority, on an SDG-driven “Journey to Net Zero.” This has led to the creation of four “traffic cells” in Bath. The clearly stated reason for the zoning is to enforce a “reductions in car use.”Bath’s Journey to Net Zero is being implemented in pursuit of SDG 11.b:Continue reading…Lemongrass Extract Cuts Human Lymphoma Tumor Growth in Mice by ~95% Without Toxicityby Nicolas Hulscher, MPHA peer-reviewed study published in Oncotarget reports that an orally administered ethanolic lemongrass extract (Cymbopogon citratus at ~80 mg/kg/day) dramatically suppressed tumor growth in a human lymphoma xenograft mouse model, while selectively inducing apoptosis in cancer cells and sparing normal cells.In immunocompromised mice implanted with human non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (U-937) cells, animals receiving ethanolic lemongrass extract in their drinking water for three weeks developed dramatically smaller tumors than controls — with tumor growth suppressed by approximately 95% based on volume and mass measurements. Importantly, no weight loss or overt toxicity was observed during treatment.The same extract selectively induced apoptosis in multiple human lymphoma and leukemia cell lines in vitro, acting through ROS-dependent extrinsic apoptosis, mitochondrial depolarization, and collapse of cancer-cell oxidative metabolism.Following subcutaneous implantation of human non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (U-937) cells, tumors were allowed to establish before treatment initiation.Continue reading…The Most Socialist System in America Is the One Feeding Us—and It’s Failingby Meryl NassAmerica loves to debate socialism. We argue about universal healthcare, guaranteed income, student loan forgiveness, and government dependency. We pride ourselves on our rugged independence and belief in free markets. We warn that socialism destroys innovation, freedom, and personal responsibility. But here’s the uncomfortable truth most Americans never stop to consider: the most centrally planned, government-dependent, subsidy-driven system in the United States isn’t medicine, housing, or energy—it’s food.Our food system is not a free market. It is not capitalism in any recognizable form. It is a government-engineered economy propped up by taxpayer dollars at every stage, directed by regulation, shaped by corporate interests, and leaving both consumers and farmers dependent, unhealthy, and without real alternatives.Each year, more than $40 billion of taxpayer money is used to subsidize commodity crops like corn, soy, wheat, and cotton. Crop insurance—also paid for largely by the public—is essentially another subsidy, and without it, most large commodity farms wouldn’t survive. But the subsidies don’t stop at growing. Once harvested, those subsidized crops become corn syrup, seed oils, stabilizers, livestock feed, artificial ingredients, ultraprocessed food additives, and ethanol—fuel grown on prime farmland and heavily subsidized again under the banner of environmental benefit.Continue reading…ICE Begins Buying ‘Mega’ Warehouse Detention Centers Across USBy Sophie Alexander and Fola AkinnibiDespite protests in small towns and cities across the US, the Trump administration is pushing ahead with the purchase of warehouses it plans to convert into immigration jails in what could be the largest expansion of such detention capacity in US history.The cost for acquiring two warehouses alone was $172 million. A third in El Paso, Texas, could be among the largest jails of any kind in the country if completed as envisioned, with 8,500 beds. The deals mark the latest turn in US Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s plan to use as many as 23 warehouses for detaining thousands of immigrants arrested by federal agents in Minneapolis and other cities. Those aggressive enforcement actions have ignited clashes with protesters and led to agents killing two US citizens.On Jan. 16, the administration paid $102 million for a site near Hagerstown, Maryland, according to a local court filing. A week later, the government paid $70 million in cash for a warehouse in Surprise, Arizona. The price tags — roughly in line with the industry average for the warehouse market — cover just the acquisition of the sites, which are currently empty shells. ICE still has to pay companies to outfit the buildings with toilets, showers, beds, dining and recreation areas and then run them as detention centers.Continue reading…Amazon Discontinues Its Biometric Palm-Reading Payment Terminal Due To Lack Of Useby The WinePressThe following report is by Business Insider:Amazon will be discontinuing Amazon One, its palm-authentication service, across all retail businesses.Users will be able to continue to use Amazon One at supported retail locations until June 3, the company announced on Wednesday.

It has been linked to historical programs like Rex 84, a 1980s FEMA initiative explored during Iran-Contra investigations for contingency mass detentions, though official details remain obscured by classification.Post-9/11 expansions reportedly enabled its use in guiding warrantless surveillance, raising alarms over privacy erosions and the potential override of constitutional protections without judicial oversight.Public awareness emerged through investigative reporting citing former intelligence officials, highlighting Main Core’s role in preemptive threat categorization but lacking declassified corroboration, amid broader critiques of opaque executive powers in national security apparatuses.Its defining controversy centers on the risk of enabling arbitrary detentions or martial law impositions, underscoring tensions between security imperatives and individual liberties in unverified emergency scenarios.Continue reading…California Man with Bunker and Guns Arrested for Almost a Dozen Victimless CrimesEtienne Note: Who are the REAL criminals here? The guy not hurting anyone OR the “government” employees living off money stolen at the point of a gun using violence on an apparently peaceful person not hurting or bothering anyone for something that isn’t really a crime? A crime by definition has a perpetrator and a victim. Is there isn’t a REAL victim, it isn’t REALLY a crime. The same can’t be said for the actions of the bureaucrats and cops who kidnapped the peaceful person, stole his property and liberty, and will now extort him for money that will be used to pay the same immoral scumbags who don’t understand the basics of morality or natural law. #THICKREDLINEby Tyler DurdenReminder to Californians; you do not live in a free state, and they don’t play around.Last week the California Highway Patrol (CHP) announced that they arrested Michael Jay Kamfolt, a 40-year-old conservative activist who has an underground bunker containing a cache of ‘illegal weapons,’ ammo, and body armor.After receiving tip about an illegal marijuana grow operation, CHP Air Operations conducted a flyover of the property located in the city of Anderson, located around 150 miles north of Sacramento in Shasta County.Continue reading…The Venezuela Oil Mirage: How Washington Mistook Tar for Black GoldBy David StockmanWhen we referred to the Donald’s cockamamie invasion of Venezuela, that’s exactly what we meant.Washington’s War on Cocaine is already unnecessarily killing 20,000 Americans per year via adulterated cocaine and thousands more in the course of moving contraband product through violent criminal syndicates from Colombia to the USA retail streets. So bringing the US Navy, Air Force and CIA to a War on Drugs which should never, ever have been declared 55 years ago is the very height of folly.Yet, that isn’t all. We also have the alleged prize of Venezuela’s 303 billion barrels of oil reserve. But that ain’t nearly what its cracked up to be, either.To hear the Donald and his minions tell about it, you’d think that someone discovered the equivalent of Saudi Arabia’s legendary Ghawar field in the Orinoco Belt of Venezuela. Alas, nothing cold be further from the truth.Continue reading…The Tokenization of Everythingby Courtenay TurnerWhat is Asset Tokenization?Asset tokenization is the process of converting real-world assets—real estate, stocks, bonds, gold, art, and increasingly biometrics, health data, and even human behavior—into programmable digital tokens on a blockchain. These tokens enable fractionalization, turning indivisible assets into tradable “slices” that can be bought, sold, or restricted instantly, 24/7. What begins as a seemingly efficient upgrade to markets is rapidly evolving into the foundational layer for a system where everything—including your body and mind—can be digitized, tracked, and controlled.The False Promises of TokenizationProponents sell tokenization as revolutionary progress. Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, has repeatedly called it “the beginning of the tokenization of all assets,” claiming it will democratize access and make markets more efficient. Institutions celebrate faster settlement, lower costs, and fractional ownership that lets ordinary people “invest” in assets previously out of reach. These promises mask a darker reality: the benefits flow primarily to the issuers and custodians—giants like BlackRock—who retain ultimate control over the underlying assets while the public holds revocable tokens. What is marketed as inclusion is, in practice, a mechanism to pull more of life into a gamified, always-on marketplace where participation becomes mandatory and behavior is subtly—or not so subtly—nudged as part of a cybernetic organism.Continue reading…60% of Popular Children’s Candies Contain Dangerous Arsenic Levelsby Nicolas Hulscher, MPHEtienne Note: The only quote that appears three times in “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed! is:“Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible. Even if all are miserable, all will believe themselves happy, because the government will tell them that they are so.” – Bertrand Russell, Fabian Socialist and Eugenicist writing in The Impact of Science on Society, 1953.Why is there poison in children’s candy? More clues at:Florida recently tested 46 popular candies heavily marketed to children. The results were sobering: 28 of the 46 products contained elevated levels of arsenic, a known human carcinogen associated with increased risks of skin, bladder, lung, kidney, and liver cancer with repeated exposure over time. These were state-conducted analyses released by the Florida Department of Health under the Healthy Florida First initiative.Continue reading…Epstein represented Mossad and Rothschild banking empire while arranging ‘honey traps’ meant to compromise and control high-level politicians and power elitesEtienne Note: I broke down the case for Donald Trump being a tool of Zionist Israel and the Rothschilds in my Rant/Article: Etienne’s Epic (Fact-Checked!) Rant Exposing Trump’s Criminality & Installation as Zionist Puppet before this e-mail, with Epstein’s claim to represent the Rothschilds, came to light.

Exclusive Photos Show the Reality They Suppressedby Jonathan WhittallIn February 2024, just over three months into Israel’s war on Gaza, U.S. ambassador to Israel, Jack Lew, and his deputy, Stephanie Hallett, blocked an internal cable intended for wider distribution among senior officials in the Biden administration that warned northern Gaza had turned into an “apocalyptic wasteland,” according to Reuters. Lew and Hallett reportedly blocked the cable, which described the consequences of Israel’s assault in harrowing detail, because they believed it lacked balance.The cable was drafted by U.S. Agency for International Development staffers and was based on a two-part humanitarian fact-finding mission by a small United Nations team that visited the area on January 31 and February 1, 2024.I was part of that mission.Northern Gaza had been under a total siege for over three months when we were eventually allowed to enter in January 2024. We moved through Gaza City, Beit Lahia, Jabaliya, and Beit Hanoun.Continue reading…The “Discombobulator”: Unpacking the Physics (and the Risks) of the Weapon That Captured MaduroBy Jesse A. CancholaTL;DR: The “Discombobulator” weapon recently used in Venezuela is likely a Pulse-Modulated High-Power Microwave (HPM) system. It functions by simultaneously frying electronics and inducing the “Frey Effect” (phantom sounds and nausea) in human targets, a mechanism statistically similar to the “Havana Syndrome” incidents. While the technology offers a tactical advantage, its public disclosure may have been a strategic error, accelerating the development of countermeasures by adversaries and raising difficult ethical questions about its potential use for domestic crowd control.The SkinnyThe news out of Caracas on January 3rd was, to put it mildly, an outlier event. The capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was surprising enough, but the details surrounding the raid were straight out of a science fiction novel. We heard reports of seasoned guards dropping to their knees, vomiting, and clutching their heads in agony from a “sound” that wasn’t there. We heard of rockets that simply refused to fire, buttons pressed to no effect, screens frozen, and technology rendered inert.Then came the explanation from President Trump: a secret weapon he called the “Discombobulator.”Continue reading…NEW STUDY: Pfizer’s Birth Control Shot Used by 25% of U.S Women Linked to Disabling Brain Tumorsby Tianqi Xiao, MD, Pranav Kumar, BA, Mina Lobbous, MD, MSPH, et alQuestion What is the association between the use of injectable depot medroxyprogesterone acetate and a meningioma diagnosis for women in the US?Findings This population-based cohort study of a national US database demonstrated that women using depot medroxyprogesterone acetate had a statistically significant increased relative risk of developing a meningioma diagnosis when compared with women using oral medroxyprogesterone acetate, other contraceptives, and healthy controls without use of these contraceptives. No increased risk of meningioma diagnosis was found with any other contraceptive.Meaning In this study, women who used depot medroxyprogesterone acetate had an increased risk for developing a meningioma.Importance There lacks data clarifying the meningioma risk conferred by depot medroxyprogesterone acetate in the US.Continue reading…Medicalized Motherhood – From First Pill to Permanent PatientEtienne Note: Hat-tip to Josefina Fraile, our translator on the Spanish edition of To See the Cage is to Leave It – Dropping Soon!

Some of the emails were written by others and sent to him, and some of them appear to be written by him and were sent from his account. The overall theme is that the comments against these groups are insulting. He caused great damage to his victims, who were mostly young white girls.Sample of Epstein’s antagonism against people of European descent and Goyim/ non-Jews/ Gentiles:In response to Steve Bannon being removed from the National Security Council in 2017, Jewish journalist Michael Wolff sent this message to Epstein: “War between the Jews and the non Jews. Jews presently winning.”Continue reading…Harvesting Serfdom: The Controlled Demolition of Food IndependenceEtienne Note: Visualization from our White Rose Mucho Grande series showing the monopolization of the seed industry (200+ seed brokers) by companies that specialize in making chemical weapons for the military (Monsanto, Bayer, AND Dow and DuPont (now Corteva) https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/eynzp3ztgrc5vy78gmywy/The-White-Rose-MUCHO-GRANDE-Poster-7-Seed-Monopolization.jpg?rlkey=946pk6266k2jtyz0bvsf6y9dg&dl=0by Colin TodhunterAsystemic ‘Great Dispossession’ is being beta-tested in India. It is a playbook for the end of food sovereignty, driven by the debris of the Bretton Woods system and the insatiable need for ‘market confidence’.India—the World Bank’s largest-ever borrower—is being forced to swap its indigenous agrarian economy for a model that serves credit-rating agencies and private equity over its own 1.4 billion citizens. After failing to pass three farm laws in 2021 due to massive protests, the central government has pivoted to MoUs and backdoor legislation to privatise seeds and dismantle public food security.The end goal is a world where food and land are no longer public goods but high-volatility corporate assets traded on global markets.Continue reading…Australia Proudly Goes Full F**kwit (Part 1)by Anthony ColpoWarning: This article contains naughty words.It’s been a while since I’ve posted, my apologies – thanks to Substack’s eager embrace of Australia’s new age-verification laws, I’ve had difficulty accessing my account. These new laws require “social media” users to prove they are over the age of 16 before being allowed to access the platforms.The official excuse for the new laws is that the government is trying to protect children, which of course is complete and utter garbage. The reality is both Australian federal and state governments do not give a flying fuck about child welfare. If they did, they would not display such an enduring and disgusting tolerance for pedophilia, and such a dogged determination to expose young children to adult sexual themes.It was Australian politicians, remember, that tried to force drag queen book readings for children and gender reassignment without parental knowledge down our throats.Continue reading…BREAKING: Third U.S. State Introduces Legislation Designating mRNA Injections as Biological Weapons of Mass Destructionby Nicolas Hulscher, MPHTennessee State Senator Janice Bowling has just filed Senate Bill 1949, the “mRNA Bioweapons Prohibition Act,” prohibiting the manufacture, acquisition, possession, or distribution of mRNA injections and products—punishable as a Class B felony under Tennessee’s weapons of mass destruction statute.Just last week, Arizona Representative Rachel Jones Keshel introduced HB 2974, amending existing statutes to designate modified mRNA injections as biological agents and weapons of mass destruction, and that their manufacture, possession, or distribution may be prosecuted as terrorism, carrying penalties up to life imprisonment if a violation results in death.Last year, Minnesota Representative Shane Mekeland introduced Bill HF3129, designating mRNA injections as weapons of mass destruction to prohibit their possession or distribution in the state.Credit to Dr. Joseph Sansone for drafting the “mRNA Bioweapons Prohibition Act,” now filed in three states.Continue reading…Three Things That Should Not Be Forgottenby Christopher CookWith all the insane things happening today, it’s easy to forget all the insane things that happened yesterday.What does it matter?

We will also have the links to download David Rogers Webb book: The Great Taking for free and Etienne’s thoughts and recommendations for how to fight back. Link VideoBy Alex NewmanWhen the globalist World Economic Forum (WEF) predicted in 2015 that “you will own nothing and be happy” by 2030, people worldwide recoiled in horror at the thought, but almost nobody understood the mechanism by which it might take place. Now, thanks to brave whistleblowers and attorneys, the plan to seize virtually everything is plain to see. The real question at this point is: Can it be stopped before it’s too late?If the WEF’s Great Reset is the marketing campaign for global “transformation,” what retired investment banker David Webb calls “The Great Taking” is the legal and financial machinery designed to make the transformation unavoidable. The plan involves ending private-property rights in securities — stocks, bonds, and other financial instruments — to allow mega-banks allied with governments to take everything when the next crisis hits.In essence, you no longer own your securities; the deed has already been done. The stocks and bonds in your retirement and investment accounts may seem like they are yours. But thanks to little-noticed changes in state law going back decades, they are actually not. And when a major economic and financial cataclysm strikes, the Deep State establishment and the governments and megabanks it controls will take over everything from you.Continue reading…You Don’t Own Your Stocks the Way You Think You DoEtienne Note: We are publishing this article as supplementary material to a more in-depth article on “The Great Taking” that we are preparing at ArtOfLiberty.Substack.com that will have the full transcript for the documentary we are syndicating across our channels and embedding in this article for additional information.

Link Videoby Tyler DurdenAuthored by Jack McPherrin via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),Most Americans believe that when they “buy” a stock, bond, or exchange-traded fund in a brokerage account, they become the legal owner of that security. The statement shows their name, and the shares appear as belonging to them.But in the modern U.S. securities system, that intuition is often wrong in the way that matters most: legal title and control. What most investors hold is not a directly owned asset recorded in their name, but a contractual claim—what the law calls a “security entitlement”—against a financial intermediary.Continue reading…The Hijacking of Bitcoinby Aaron DayThe original vision for Bitcoin was simple: peer-to-peer digital cash, free from banks and government. However, the document argues that this vision was deliberately “hijacked,” as Bitcoin is now pushed as “digital gold,” a scarce asset for Wall Street, with slow and expensive transactions for everyday use.This shift began with the 2015-2017 Block Size Fight, where a group won the argument to keep transaction blocks small, making the main network costly. The promoted “fix,” the Lightning Network, is a faster system but relies on middlemen (hubs), fundamentally changing it from true P2P cash.The funding for this change is linked to Jeffrey Epstein. After the Bitcoin Foundation collapsed, his money flowed through MIT’s Digital Currency Initiative (DCI) to pay the core developers who favored the small-block path. Epstein also invested in Blockstream, a company started by those same developers.Brock Pierce is identified as a key connector. He co-founded Tether, brokered Epstein’s Coinbase investment, and had an extensive relationship with him. Tether then played a crucial role in inflating Bitcoin’s price; a study suggests new, unbacked Tether, minted after price drops, accounted for roughly 50% of the 2017 bull run. The CFTC later fined Tether $41 million for lying about its reserves.Continue reading…Upcoming Liberty EventsMONEROTOPIA 2026-Roma, Mexico City, February 12TH-15TH 2026Entrepreneurship Beyond Politics: Mises Circle in Oklahoma City – Feb 21st, OKC, OKFreedom Under Natural Law Conference – February 21st & 22nd 2026, On-lineThe Liberty Forum (NH Free State Project Conference) – March 5th-8th – Concord, NHMises Institute Libertarian Scholars Conference – March 19, 2026, at our Auburn, ALAustrian Economic Research Conference 2026 – March 19-21, 2026, Auburn, ALThe Mammals in Memphis – April 18th – Details to Come!Confluence – April 23rd-26th – Bandera, TexasRothbard University-May 14-16, 2026, Auburn, ALLibertarian Scholars Conference 2026- March 19, 2026 – March 19, 2026 – Auburn, Alabama.Free Cities Foundation Conference – September 3–6, 2026 – Prospera, Roatan, HondurasMemes BonanzaTruth Music of the WeekTorin Frost & Lauren Santi – Mygration – Chapter 1Torin Frost and Lauren Santi were the two freedom artists we featured this week in the story: #Voluntaryism for the Win – Help Musicians Torin Frost & Lauren Santi Recover from a Robbery.

Oceanus spent 120 consecutive days off the coast of Panama testing the technology and systems that will enable future deepwater SeaPods. Our Chief Engineer and President ran the company from 11 meters below the surface while validating every component from solar power to climate control that will make deepwater living viable.Having completed its mission, Oceanus has been decommissioned. But what we learned is shaping what comes next. The future of ocean living extends well beyond the waterline.On January 24th, 2025, Rüdiger Koch emerged from Oceanus after 120 days with complete validation of deepwater living technology. He’d conducted business meetings and video conference calls while reef fish swam past the windows. He recorded podcast interviews to the soundtrack of clicking crustaceans. He refined engineering designs while watching the ocean shift from Caribbean blue to storm grey.His routine stayed disciplined throughout: morning exercise while tracking biomarkers, focused work sessions, and regular check-ins with visiting doctors. Every system performed flawlessly in power, water, waste management, and climate control. The mission succeeded because Oceanus made underwater life feel a new sense of normal.Continue reading…Campus Carry Clears the NH HouseThey call them “gun-free zones” — but common sense tells us they are really “unarmed victim zones.”Murder is already illegal, and criminals aren’t deterred by one more law.But those with respect for the law (like well-trained and law-abiding gun owners) generally disarm to be in compliance with these foolish policies.That’s why 92% of mass shootings take place in locations where guns are banned (according to the Crime Prevention Research Center).On Thursday, the NH House of Representatives took a bold step to increase public safety by passing “Campus Carry” legislation by a vote of 188 to 165.Sponsored by Rep. Sam Farrington, this bill would restore the right of law-abiding adults to carry firearms on taxpayer-funded college campuses.Here is the video of his remarks from the House floor prior to passage:These Are America’s Healthiest StatesEtienne Note: New Hampshire is the State where the Free State Project is located, and if you follow our recurring column: libertarian Intentional Community Roundup in our Five Meme Friday newsletter, you would already know it leads the country in almost every metric.

+ The NEW 2026 Liberator Flash Drive – Uncensorable Evidence of “Gov’t” Illegitimacy & Criminality Dear Subscribers,Our main story this week is the Epic Rant I went on vs. Dr. Frank Tamburri who has been hosting: The Trump (Chump) Report, a weekly segment covering Trump, on Declare Your Independence with Ernest Hancock for a decade.I broke down the case that Trump was installed by Zionist interests who bailed him out financially (Rothchild Inc. restructured his major bankruptcy), most likely had him blackmailed in the Jeffrey Epstein/Mossad “Brownstone Operation,” “Created His Legend” as an astute businessman with The Apprentice (where his theatrical agent was Zionist Ari Emanuel, brother of Clinton Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel), and then financed his campaigns with over $400M of Zionist money from Sheldon and Miriam Adelson alone. Then.. Once installed… He cranks up the “aid” to Israel from $3 billion a year to over $20 billion per year… and bombs Yemen and Iran… and enables the genocide of the Palestinians with Palantir software and US weapons.Former congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene came out today on the Kim Iverson show to, essentially, echo what I am saying:“I think people are realizing it was all a lie. It was a big lie for the people. What MAGA is really serving in this administration, who they’re serving, is their big donors…Those are the people that get the special favors. They get the government contracts, they get the pardons, or somebody they love or one of their friends gets a pardon.”“It’s the foreign countries. They are running the show here…That’s really what MAGA is. We are seeing war on behalf of Israel, we are seeing the people in Gaza, innocent people in Gaza, hundreds of thousands of them completely murdered so that they can build some new real estate development. Money can pour in and everybody can get rich there in the new Gaza,”The other major story is that we just published the 2026 Liberator Flash Drive with new content including the ePub copies of BOTH “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History..

Now Substack is simply not syndicating many of the the articles we publish to the folks who have subscribed to our publications.

Now that is losing money AND we now need to spend additional capital to move off of Substack to a platform where we can’t be censored. We need some help to do it!Please don’t sponsor us on Substack!

Rant Exposing Trump’s Criminality & Installation as Zionist PuppetThere is speculation BUT I stack the facts and evidence up in the transcript I illustrated with memes, visualizations, and historical photosI was on Freedom’s Phoenix with Ernest Hancock and went on an Epic Rant on another guest, Dr. Phranq Tamburri, who has been hosting a weekly segment on the show called: The Trump Report, which myself and others have nicknamed: The Chump Report.I have been miffed at the whole thing the entire time because:1. Trump is obviously an installed puppet, which is the focus of my rant, and where I cut the rant out and included the facts and evidence below in the transcript for many of my claims. Obviously there is some speculation on my part, but I stack up the facts that make the case below.2. I think the “Chump Report” has been tarnishing the reputation of Freedom’s Phoenix, which is one of my favorite voluntaryist talk shows. The segment legitimizes Trump/The Presidency and has left many voluntaryists scratching their heads.So I went off on him in this rant… Then I stacked up the evidence in the transcript/article with visualizations, historical photos, and memes…Continue reading…The Liberator – Our UNCENSORABLE, Credit Card-Sized Flash Drive Exposing the Organized Crime “Government”The Liberator– A credit card-sized flash drive (and FREE Dropboxes) full of liberty resources that expose the control system, make evidence of “government” illegitimacy and criminality uncensorable and provide the healthy alternatives of voluntaryism, freedom, love, tolerance, Agorism, and counter-economics.

Matta highlighted the viral “Baby Cyrus” case, where a child was taken at gunpoint over medical and vaccination disputes, then returned after public protests and media attention.Matta argues that financial incentives tied to federal funding encourage agencies, hospitals, and law enforcement to separate families and place children into foster care. The conversation also connects CPS practices to broader claims of government mishandling and trafficking of migrant children, criticizing both major political parties and mainstream media for failing to intervene.Continue reading…“Government”, Media and AcademiaCriminality ExposedThese articles also appears in “Government”, Media and Academia Criminality Exposed, A digest of HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of articles exposing and suggesting inter-generational organized crime’s control of the “Government,” Media and Academia by the Art of Liberty Foundation.

The Saturday killing—committed by a Customs and Border Protection agent—is the third shooting by U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) and CBP in as many weeks, and comes just one day after tens of thousands of Minneapolis residents took to the streets in subzero temperatures to protest the federal raids in Minnesota.Close-up video footage, obtained by Drop Site, shows one agent push a person to the ground and then deploy a chemical irritant twice on the 37-year-old Pretti, who had gone to help the person pushed. Around eight agents then swarm and wrestle him to the ground. One of the officers then visibly unholstered his gun and fired multiple close-range gunshots at Pretti, a Minnesota resident who was reportedly on the scene as an observer. There are ten gunshots heard in all—at least five of them were fired at Pretti from a distance, while the person holding the camera shouts, “What the fuck did you just do?”Video footage obtained by Drop Site with slow-motion video analysis of the January 24th killing of Alex Pretti by a CBP agent.Continue reading…Chicago Dems Allowed Its Parking Meters to be Sold to a Private Company, Rates to Increaseby ABC and CBSSeventeen years ago, Chicago privatized its parking meters and sold them off to a private company that is now selling the meters to another private company.

Both the adjusted and non-adjusted increases represent the largest jumps since quarterly disclosures began in 2008.The record total came even as some of Washington’s biggest spenders, such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Realtors, cut back from their 2024 lobbying expenditures, with new groups making up the difference. In 2025, 15,768 organizations reported lobbying activity, up from 14,061 the previous year, an increase of nearly 12 percent.Continue reading…Stunning Epstein twist as Ghislaine Maxwell claims 29 friends cut ‘secret deals’ with DOJBy ROSS IBBETSON, ASSOCIATE EDITORGhislaine Maxwell has claimed that 29 friends of Jeffrey Epstein were shielded through ‘secret settlements’ by the Justice Department.The disgraced socialite filed a habeas corpus petition on December 17 seeking to overturn her conviction, arguing that prosecutors cut deals with Epstein associates while prosecuting her as if no such agreements existed.Maxwell alleges that 25 men reached undisclosed deals, while four alleged co-conspirators were known to investigators but never charged. She does not name the individuals.‘None of the four named co-conspirators or the 25 men with secret settlements were indicted,’ the court filing says.Maxwell argues that the alleged concealment of these deals undermined the fairness of her trial and violated her constitutional rights.Continue reading…FBI Raids Atlanta Elections Office.

If the raid is related to the election-linked lawsuits the Justice Department (DOJ) filed in multiple states last year, it’s possible we’ll see more action like this.Fulton County officials confirmed the raid to FOX 5 Atlanta on Wednesday:Today, the [FBI] served a search warrant at the Fulton County Elections Hub and Operations Center. The warrant sought a number of records related to 2020 elections. This operation is still actively underway. We cannot provide further information at this time.Fulton County Clerk of Courts Ché Alexander told The Washington Post the FBI was looking for 2020 ballots. A “person familiar with the matter” told the Post the FBI was looking for “related records from 2020 tied to allegations of voter fraud.”Continue reading…Trump, two sons, Trump Org sue IRS, Treasury for $10 billion over tax records leakEtienne Note: I think there is a high chance that Trump will use the notoriously corrupt “government” court system to slide himself $10 Billion…The level of corruption as Rome burns and the dollar collapses is simply off the chart…by Kevin BreuningerPresident Donald Trump, his two eldest sons and his family business sued the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Treasury Department over alleged leaks of their confidential tax information.The plaintiffs seek at least $10 billion in damages, according to the lawsuit in Miami federal court.Continue reading…“Daily News of The Week”ICE Making List of Anyone Who Films Themby Ken KlippensteinThe Department of Homeland Security has ordered immigration officers to gather identifying information about anyone filming them and to “send that information to Intel who will do a ‘work-up’ on them,” a federal law enforcement official directly involved tells me.“Meaning, trying to identify them via social media, running their license plates if available, and running a criminal history check,” the official explained.The directive is part of a sweeping, nationwide effort by U.S. immigration authorities to identify anyone and everyone trying to film their conduct. This includes not just ICE but other Department of Homeland Security agencies like Border Patrol as well. The ultimate goal is to create a list of anti-ICE protestors, which the Trump administration believes are part of an organized network of domestic terrorists.Continue reading…What is the Science Behind Porn Addiction?by NofapTo date, the American psychological community has yet to officially recognize porn addiction as a disorder. However, a building body of scientific evidence and 100,000s of personal stories from the recovery community leads us to conclude that the unprecedented availability of pornography in the era of the Internet has resulted in an undeniable problem, one that is destructive to individuals and, consequently, society as a whole. This problem has come to be called “porn addiction” by many, including those of us in the community here at NoFap®.Our understanding of porn addiction is largely compiled from analysis of our surveys and the thousands of personal stories our users have posted to our forums, as well as reports gathered from other porn recovery websites. We bring to bear as much current brain science as we can to this body of anecdotal evidence. One of the main goals of NoFap is to increase interest in the topic of porn addiction in order to spur further scientific study, which will in turn deepen our understanding of porn addiction.Continue reading…Special Forces Training Center at Fort Bragg Has Evolved Into Murder Capital and Drug Trafficking Hubby Jeremy KuzmarovOriginally published at CovertAction MagazineIn his 2014 retirement speech, Admiral William McRaven, the former commander of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), called the era of the Global War on Terror the “golden age of special operations.”In a sense, McRaven’s comments were true as, in the absence of a draft, the U.S. military has come to rely on covert operations using small groups of highly trained shadow operators in fighting the country’s post-9/11 wars.Continue reading…Don’t Blame Boomersby Matt BrackenAS A BOOMER (b. 1957) who is being blamed for all the ills afflicting subsequent generations, I’d like to state the following.1. I did not vote to establish the private Federal Reserve in 1913. I was not born until many decades later.2. I did not vote to change our real silver coins (“money”) for copper coins painted silver. I was 8 years old in 1965.3. I did not vote to change our Silver Certificate Dollars (which could be exchanged for actual physical silver) to pure fiat Federal Reserve Notes. I was 11 years old in 1968.4. I did not vote to “close the gold window” in 1971. Nixon did that. I was 14 years old.What happened to all Americans was the planned and structured debasement of our federal reserve currency (it’s not real money). The 4 steps listed above allowed the politicians of both parties to print FRNs with no limits at all, always diminishing the purchasing power (”wealth”) of the beleaguered middle class.Continue reading…NexPhone revisits the long-running dream of combining your phone and laptopBy Monica J. WhiteAfter a decade of false starts across the industry, Nex Computer revisits the idea of replacing your laptop with a smartphone. By combining Android, Linux, and Windows in one device, the NexPhone may have made the vision a reality.For years, technologists have floated a simple, elegant idea: what if your mobile phone could become your computer whenever you needed it? Imagine it being your desktop PC at home, a laptop replacement when you travel, and a phone for everything in between.This idea is the driving force behind the NexPhone, a newly announced smartphone from Nex Computer that aims to combine phone and PC into a single device. It does this by shifting roles depending on context: it runs Android as a daily smartphone, can launch a full Linux (Debian) environment on demand, and can even dual-boot into Windows when needed.Continue reading…Four Causes, Seventy Thousand Diseasesby UnbekomingThere are four causes of disease. There are over 70,000 ICD diagnostic codes. The gap between these numbers is where the money is.A child eats processed food saturated with glyphosate, artificial colours, and preservatives for years. His body, doing exactly what it evolved to do, initiates a detoxification response. Mucus production increases to flush irritants. Inflammation rises to repair damaged tissue. A fever may develop to accelerate metabolic clearing. His mother, frightened by the symptoms, takes him to the doctor. The doctor examines him, perhaps runs tests, and delivers a diagnosis: respiratory infection, or allergic rhinitis, or asthma—depending on which symptoms present most prominently and which billing code applies. The diagnosis triggers a prescription. The prescription—an antibiotic, an antihistamine, a steroid, or all three—suppresses the symptoms. The child feels better, which is to say: his body’s repair mechanisms have been chemically interrupted.Continue reading…World’s simplest and cheapest snow plow…by Donna Hancock & The Art of Liberty Foundation Daily NewsWorld’s simplest and cheapest snow plow -Use angle irons to weld a triangular rack and tie a stone!These types of tools are commonly known as “snow drags” or “snow scrapers.” Here is how you can build your own DIY Snow Drag using basic materials.Continue reading…The Idolatry of Statism – Why Christians Should Oppose NationalismEtienne Note: We first published this on Christmas Eve and had hard copies on order. Those hard copies are now IN-STOCK and shipping. We have Single Copies for $4.95 and 5 Packs for $20 at ArtOfLiberty.org/Store.This is an excellent companion piece to my new book: To See the Cage is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many, which how Statism is being unethically and manipulatively indoctrinated into the public through mandatory schools, scouting, and a monopoly media system using sneaky and duplicitous “marketing” techniques ranging from product placing the American Flag (Idol) at moments of high-positive emotion to subliminal programming to making the “government” the hero in thousands of tell-a-vision shows and movies.Continue reading…Guns Against the Stateby Mises Wire, Marisa JarquinSelf-defense and gun ownership are constantly being attacked in modern discourse and by the mainstream media, yet their legitimacy rests on principles far older than any constitution, preceding and transcending any political framework. The importance of self-defense lies in its role as a safeguard against both private and state aggression. Unlike modern states, which increasingly disarm their citizens and leave them defenseless, a private-law society would place no restrictions on the individual ownership of firearms or other weapons. In a genuinely free society, the preservation of liberty does not depend on armies or governments but on morally responsible individuals capable of self-reliance. Security must never be entrusted to the very institution that holds the monopoly on force; it must remain in the hands of the people themselves.The School of Salamanca—a group of 16th-century theologians and jurists—developed a profound understanding of natural law, laying the groundwork for modern concepts of individual liberty and resistance to tyranny. Among them, Francisco de Vitoria and Francisco Suárez affirmed self-defense as an inalienable right, grounded in divine natural law and applicable to individuals and communities, including cases of resistance to oppressive authorities. It is fundamental to emphasize that the Salamanca scholastics did not create natural law, but rather understood and articulated it.Continue reading…The Hidden Dopamine TrapAddictive ProgramingLiving Through DopamineConclusionby A Midwestern DoctorStory at a Glance:•Modern children’s content (especially fast-paced YouTube shows like CoComelon) is engineered to maximize watch time through rapid cuts and constant dopamine triggers, creating addictive patterns in toddlers that lead to overstimulation, irritability, and severe tantrums, and when screens are removed.•This deliberate design exploits the brain’s orienting response, rewiring developing nervous systems toward novelty-seeking while impairing sustained attention, executive function, and emotional regulation—effects supported by studies linking fast-paced media to ADHD-like symptoms and long-term attentional deficits. Continue reading…Video Contradicts DHS Claims About Killing of Alex Prettiby The Free Thought ProjectThe footage of the fatal shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti, said one journalist, “shows that the final act of his life was trying to help a woman who was being physically assaulted by the masked agents who would then kill him.”WARNING: The following article contains graphic video.In the original video of the shooting of a man in Minneapolis, identified by the Minneapolis Star Tribune at 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a woman in a pink coat was seen in the background filming the incident with her phone.Continue reading…MAHA Bait and Switch? Trump’s EPA Calls for Review of Fluoride Science While Ignoring Historic Ruling on Fluorideby Derrick BrozeOn Thursday, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced plans for an “accelerated review” of the risks posed by fluoride in public drinking water. The move has been celebrated by some within the so-called Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement, but criticized by others who argue that the EPA is ignoring a 2024 federal court ruling, which found fluoride to be harmful to the neurodevelopment of children.As part of the announcement, the EPA released a document titled “Fluoride Human Health Toxicity Assessment: Preliminary Assessment Plan and Literature Survey“ that detailed the agency’s plans for reviewing the science on water fluoridation.The document states that the EPA will draw conclusions regarding the “harmful human health effects of fluoride” or determine the levels of fluoride exposure associated with harmful health effects as part of a forthcoming draft human health toxicity assessment. The agency states that it will consider sensitive populations, including infants and children.Continue reading…Definitely DO NOT spray Rustoleum 214944 on your license platesUsers on social media (TikTok/YouTube) have demonstrated how this “Specialty Reflective Finish” spray creates a retro-reflective layer. When a speed camera’s flash hits the plate, the light bounces directly back, resulting in a white, unreadable glare in the official citation photo.Rust-Oleum 214944 is marketed as a safety spray for visibility, but for the liberty-minded, it has a “side effect”: it turns your license plate into a mirror that blinds the state’s automated tax collectors.Law enforcement agencies across the US (from Florida to California) have released warnings about the “proliferation of plate obscuring sprays.” They argue that even if the plate looks clear to the human eye, the “chemical interference” with their cameras constitutes a crime.Continue reading…Enhancing Fertility Naturally – (Updated for 2026 with info on how reproductive health is connected with ancient forest ecology)by Gavin MounseyI am reposting this for people that are hoping to start a family so you can have info on what toxins to avoid (environmental and psychological) and what foods you can eat to help ensure you bring a healthy baby into the world.I also share the update from the 2025 Year in Review – #SolutionsWatch at the end of the video above.In the video clip James (thoughtfully) reads out my message and update regarding what I have learned about the connection between old growth forests and human health (specifically reproductive health).I wanted to share this now (before I publish the last installment of the series on the ancient Fairy Creek forest watershed) as it offers one more reason (along with the long list of both scientific and spiritual reasons) why we need to protect rare ancient forest habitats.Continue reading…Greg Reese 5 Minute Video: The Causality of Government (Mindfulness Stops Distractions)by Greg ReeseIn the Mind-Wandering Discovery by Killingsworth & Gilbert, over a quarter-million data points showed that people were not focused on what they were doing for about forty-seven percent of their waking lives, and the less focus they had, the more unhappy they were. Decades of research show that nearly half of daily life consists of automatic behaviors executed without conscious decision-making. Unconscious automatic brain activity precedes conscious awareness by about half a second, and in most cases, will help keep you consciously oblivious to half of your waking life.There is a default setting that our nervous system goes into whenever we lose focus and wander. Scientific studies have identified it as The Default Mode Network. This is what Buddhism calls, ignorance, and Gurdjieff called waking sleep. Many spiritual traditions have diagnosed the human condition as one of chronic inattention, and have taught various practices to remedy this problem and help us wake up.Continue reading…TikTok users say they can’t upload anti-ICE videos. The company blames tech issuesEtienne Note: Reminder: Investigative reporting by Mint Press News that showed the content moderation team at Google is populated by both CIA AND Israeli Mossad/Unit 8200, content moderators at Twitter are populated by “Ex” FBI officials, the content moderation team at Facebook is populated by “Ex” CIA officials. The content moderation team at Tik Tok is populated by “Ex” State Department officials.by Scottie Andrew, CNNThe comedian Megan Stalter, who posts absurd character skits to an audience in the high hundreds of thousands across Instagram and TikTok, tried sharing a different kind of video on Saturday night. Driven by the death of Alex Pretti, the nurse shot by a federal immigration agent or agents that day, she had recorded herself urging her fellow Christians to speak out against ICE raids in Minneapolis.“We have to abolish ICE,” Stalter said in the video. “I truly, truly believe that is exactly what Jesus would do.”On Instagram, the video was reposted more than 12,000 times. But her plea never made it to TikTok. In a follow-up post on Instagram, she said she had attempted to upload the video to TikTok several times with no success, then had given up and deleted her TikTok account entirely, believing her content was being censored because it was about ICE. (CNN has reached out to Stalter for comment.)Continue reading…This $13 Billion Aircraft Carrier Can’t Get One Important Thing To Workby Brad HillWhen the world’s largest aircraft carrier was first undergoing sea trials, its advanced Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) struggled, which is understandable since it was a new and advanced system for aircraft carriers. Plumbing, on the other hand, the United States Navy has had a handle on for a good while. Until now, it seems. While the USS Gerald R. Ford has been launching fighter jets to assist with operations in the Caribbean, it has been suffering a series of mishaps with its toilet.The carrier has a crew of 4,600, which is a lot of individuals in one place not to have a working plumbing system. NPR submitted a FOIA request and received documents that showed the crew has been trying to manage this issue since 2023. The bulk of the problem has been from the Vacuum Collection, Holding and Transfer (VCHT) system. The VCHT system is identical to that used in the cruise ship industry, but the rest of the carrier’s plumbing is more complex than that of a cruise ship.One document the publication received states, “Every day that the entire crew is present on the ship, a trouble call has been made for ship’s force personnel to repair or unclog a portion of the VCHT system, since June 2023.” For more than two years, the most advanced aircraft carrier in the world has requested help 42 times for its toilets, with 32 of those calls taking place in 2025.Continue reading…America’s Favorite Cooking Oil Shows Strong Link to Obesityby Dr. Joseph Mercola at Mercola.comSoybean oil dominates the U.S. food supply. Americans’ intake has increased from about 2% to nearly 10% of calories over a century, alongside sharp rises in obesity and diabetesA recent study published in the Journal of Lipid Research found soybean oil drives obesity independent of calories by generating liver oxylipins that track with weight gain, revealing LA metabolism, not food intake, as the key driver of fat accumulationSoybean oil promotes oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, gut permeability, and long-lasting inflammatory byproducts that continue to affect your metabolism for years due to LA’s extended half-life in body fat.Continue reading…ICE’s Secret Watchlists of Americansby Ken Klippenstein“We have a nice little database and now you’re considered a domestic terrorist,” a masked federal agent taunted a protester filming him in Maine last week.Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin’s response was firm: “There is NO database of ‘domestic terrorists’ run by DHS.”There’s just one problem: She’s lying.Two senior national security officials tell me that there are more than a dozen secret and obscure watchlists that homeland security and the FBI are using to track protesters (both anti-ICE and pro-Palestinian), “Antifa,” and others who are promiscuously labeled “domestic terrorists.”Continue reading…“X” Caught in the Act — Internal Data Breach Reveals Massive Censorship of 9/11 TruthEtienne Note: This is exactly how the censorship algorithms work on X. There are similar algorithms on Substack, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google, Tik Tok, YouTube and other monopoly tech platforms where, we believe, the organized crime banksters provided some of their unlimited fractional reserve currency to create, dominate and/or monopolize the leading search engines, video sites, and social media platforms to control perception and censor evidence of “government” criminality, corruption, and illegitimacy.by Richard Gage, AIA – ArchitectEarlier this month, 9/11 Truth activist Gene L., inspired by @S2Underground, succeeded in getting Grok, the AI associated with X, to reveal the set of secret X algorithms for our RG911 account. He learned about this scandalous reveal from @S2Underground on his X post.Grok terms the search “Semantic Contextual Scoring OHI_V3 object for the X account @RichardGage_911.” And it reflected “X’s internal semantic, contextual, and moderation analysis derived from the account’s bio” (our account!). X has since patched the Grok leak and included dismissive statements upon such searches:“fabricated or simulated internal scoring object that Grok (in certain prompted conversations around January 2026) generates when users ask for it directly, often following an initial query about account classification on X. This isn’t a real…But, it revealed that it stores startling data, facts, and opinions about our work here at RichardGage911, which was shocking to learn, such as a summary of our “Post History (persistent advocacy for controlled demolition evidence, critiques of official narratives on WTC collapses, accusations of government protection of ‘terrorists’ via non-declassification, ties to false flag framing including recent Gaza and 10/7 parallels, interviews/promotions of truth movement content, and responses to critics/skeptics), high media usage (videos of evidence presentations, physics arguments, event graphics), and engagement with aligned accounts (e.g., AE911Truth-related amplifications). It also notes an “absence of direct violence or hate incitement.”Continue reading…The share of Americans medically obese is projected to rise to almost 50% by 2035Etienne Note: The only quote that appears three times in “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed! is:“Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities considerdesirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible. Even if all are miserable, all will believe themselves happy, because the government will tell them that they are so.” – Bertrand Russell, Fabian Socialist and Eugenicist writing in The Impact of Science on Society, 1953.What is causing this obesity epidemic? More Details at: What is causing this obesity epidemic? More Details at: https://artofliberty.substack.com/p/consumer-goods-monopoly-consolidationby Marcos MagañaOn Wednesday, a new study published in JAMA by researchers at the University of Washington in Seattle projected that by 2035, nearly half of all American adults, about 126 million individuals, will be living with obesity. The study draws on data from more than 11 million participants via the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Health and Nutrition Examination and Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, and from the independent Gallup Daily Survey.The projections show a striking increase in the prevalence of obesity over the past few decades in the U.S. In 1990, only 19.3% of U.S. adults were obese, according to the study. That figure more than doubled to 42.5% by 2022, and is forecast to reach 46.9% by 2035.Continue reading…Trump Set to Name Kevin Warsh, Son-in-Law of Billionaire Ron Lauder, as Next US Federal Reserve Chiefby Chris Menahan, Disclose TV, Jerusalem Post and ReutersPresident Trump, who wants deep cuts in interest rates, said that he will name Jerome Powell’s successor to head the US Federal Reserve on Friday. Former Fed governor Kevin Warsh is the top candidate.Fed interest-rate decisions impact not only the daily rate at which banks lend to each other but also long-term interest rates, as measured by long-dated US Treasury yields, which in turn influence borrowing costs for consumers and companies.Kevin Warsh’s father-in-law, Ron Lauder, has a long-time friendship with Trump and may be influencing him on his pursuit of Greenland.Continue reading…Upcoming Liberty EventsPorcupine Day 10 (X) – Murphy’s Taproom & Carriage House, Tuesday, Feb 3rd, 5-8:00 PM ESTPrincipled Business Summit- Prospera, Roatán, Honduras, February 5–9, 2026MONEROTOPIA 2026-Roma, Mexico City, February 12TH-15TH 2026Entrepreneurship Beyond Politics: Mises Circle in Oklahoma City – Feb 21st, OKC, OKFreedom Under Natural Law Conference – February 21st & 22nd 2026, On-lineThe Liberty Forum (NH Free State Project Conference) – March 5th-8th – Concord, NHMises Institute Libertarian Scholars Conference – March 19, 2026, at our Auburn, ALAustrian Economic Research Conference 2026 – March 19-21, 2026, Auburn, ALConfluence – April 23rd-26th – Bandera, TexasRothbard University-May 14-16, 2026, Auburn, ALLibertarian Scholars Conference 2026- March 19, 2026 – March 19, 2026 – Auburn, Alabama.Free Cities Foundation Conference – September 3–6, 2026 – Prospera, Roatan, HondurasMemes Bonanzaartofliberty.org/white-rose/artofliberty.org/white-rose/Truth Music of the WeekDUMBs – New Song/Video by Autarchos (Greg Reese) Exposes Deep Underground Military Bases (DUMBs)Etienne Note: Great new tune/video by Greg Reese bringing Deep Underground Military Bases (DUMBs) into wider prominence. My thesis is that Elon Musk is DARPA’s boy who takes technologies developed on the taxpayer nickel for the military and then privatizes the profits for organized crime “government” insiders. The Boring Company, which is commercializing the technology used to create these DUMBs is one example, TESLA was probably battery technology, SpaceX is military/NASA launch technologies for military and intelligence satellites where they are, essentially, the companies ONLY customers, Starlink is a military communications system that they allow the public to use so they can be tracked and traced with it while making billions for themselves, Neuralink is for augmented soldiers controlling weapons systems and, ultimately, remote controlling human beings and deactivating/intellectually neutering the troublesome ones, etc. Kick that around as you watch the tunneling machines in this video and realize who Musk’s likely #1 Boring Company customer is even if the revenue isn’t getting reported cause its off-budget black programs…libertarian Intentional Community RoundupThis week’s update includes articles from the Free Cities Foundation’s Newsletter.LiberArx: Be Part of Seasteading History Followers of the Free Cities Foundation may already be familiar with Atlas Island, an international community focused on seasteading and the creation of voluntary floating societies. Building on that work, Atlas Island founder Mason has developed LiberArx, a modular vessel design intended to make long-term living at sea accessible even to those without specialist sailing experience. LiberArx is conceived as a solar-powered, self-sufficient floating home, prioritising personal freedom, mobility, and adaptability. The design features large open interiors and domestic living spaces, with a layout more similar to an apartment than a conventional boat. The LiberArx team is currently seeking someone to commission the first full-scale prototype, to be built in a Dutch shipyard at an estimated cost of $1.5 million. Anyone interested in being part of seasteading history by commissioning this first specialist floating home can find out more via the company’s official website: Liberarx or contact Mason directly at: Ma***@******rx.com. ArkPad: From Concept to Cashflow Seasteading company ArkPad, whose founder Mitchell Suchner received the 2025 Free Cities Conference Innovation Award, continues to expand operations beyond its flagship reef resort near Davao, Philippines. The existing resort currently operates 14 floating “glamphouses” less than a kilometre offshore, available via Airbnb and other platforms. To date, it has hosted around 3,200 guests, served an estimated 2,500 restaurant customers, and maintains an average rating of 4.7 stars on Airbnb. A recent video by Filipino travel vlogger Rish Mars (nearly half a million followers) about the resort has generated significant interest.ArkPad is now planning a second site off the coast of Próspera, Honduras, with construction intended to align with the 2026 Free Cities Conference. For those interested in ownership, units are available either outright or via fractional shares. Prices start from $45,000 in Davao and $95,000 in Roatán, with fractional ownership available from 1%.

The operation marked a dramatic shift in Venezuela’s political situation and has already begun to reshape expectations about the country’s future direction. While international observers remain divided over the legitimacy of the operation, many in the business community see the removal of Maduro as opening the door to political stabilization, renewed international engagement, and a more predictable environment for business. This is especially significant for CryptoCity, one of the flagship projects featured in the Free Communities Directory. We recently spoke with Tim Stern, CEO of CryptoCity, who expressed strong confidence that special economic zones in Venezuela will continue and are likely to thrive under the new conditions. Together with Venezuelan futurist José Cordero, Tim reported a noticeable increase in investor enquiries and early signs of rising property values in areas linked to SEZ activity. To hear Tim Stern’s update on developments on the ground, listen to our special report from Timothy Allen here.The LiberatorGet a NEW 2026 Liberator for “Going Paid” (or upgrading from monthly) as a $50 Yearly Subscriber to This Substack.We just announced the BRAND NEW 2026 Liberator (Version 2.3), which includes the ePub versions of “Government” – The Biggest Scams in History Exposed!
