Sheehy is a “CIA Republican,” our name for the RED FLAG level statistically improbable number of “ex” CIA officers, intelligence agency alumni, and military industrial complex -connected folks being installed in the Congress.Sheehy is one of a number of “ex” Navy SEALs (”Order Followers”) run through the unethically manipulative techniques I break down in To See the Cage is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many. He then went on to make millions as a “government” contractor and is now supporting a war for Israel and was caught trying to silence a Marine that was exposing the truth.The Marine Corp has a history of opposing fascism and speaking truth to power, if you aren’t familiar with the testimony of Maj.

I updated our lead story on AIPAC Senator Tim Sheehy with this image right before I hit send on FMF. One of the reasons why “government” is such a dumb way to organize society is good people won’t participate and/or live off money stolen from others at the point of a gun so most of the participants are corrupt/corruptible.Top Stories of the WeekThe Shady Background of the AIPAC Senator Who Broke the Marine’s Arm in the SenateBy now everyone has seen the video of AIPAC Senator Tim Sheehy breaking the Arm of the US Marine who had the courage to stand up in the Senate and tell the Senators, Generals, and Admirals that: No One Wants to Fight For Israel!You might be surprised at the Shady background of AIPAC rep Tim Sheehy, the 11th richest member of the Congress with an estimated net worth of over $163 million that was reported to have made $12 million in the stock market in January alone.

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.

Instead, he has focused on using the presidency to enrich himself… President Trump has never been a man to ask what he can do for his country. In his second term, as in his first, he is instead testing the limits of what his country can do for him.”—New York Times Editorial BoardIn his State of the Union address, President Trump declared that America is entering a “Golden Age.” Golden for whom?For a president who lives lavishly in a taxpayer-funded mansion, jets around to weekend golf getaways at taxpayer expense, and dismisses concerns about “affordability” as fake news, life might indeed be gilded.Continue reading…Docs Show DHS Specifically Steered $200M Ad Contracts, Raising Questions About Noem’s Testimonyby Luke RosiakThe Department of Homeland Security (DHS) only allowed four hand-picked companies to bid on a $200 million ad campaign, including a brand new company that later subcontracted the work to the spouse of a top department official, a document reviewed by The Daily Wire shows.The records raise questions about the testimony by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to the Senate on Tuesday, in which she told senators that contracts for a television ad campaign starring herself “went out to a competitive bid and career officials at the department chose who would do those advertising commercials.”Procurement records show that the anti-illegal immigration ad work was awarded using “other than full and open competition.” A justification for that decision says, “The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Office of Procurement Operations (OPO), on behalf of the Office of DHS Public Affairs office intends to limit competition to three contractors.”Continue reading…Missing Epstein Files: 2023 FBI Hack Wiped 100 Terabytes of Evidenceby Veronika KyrylenkoA sworn declaration included in the Trump administration’s recent release of the Epstein files indicates that a cyber intrusion into FBI systems led to the loss of vast quantities of data connected to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.In a declaration (pdf) dated September 2024, FBI Special Agent Aaron Spivack described a breach of the Bureau’s New York Field Office network that occurred on Super Bowl Sunday in 2023. 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.

+ 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.

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.

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.

+ 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..

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. Gray for alleged violations of the Texas Securities Act related to the fraudulent offer and sale of cryptocurrency mining investments to Texas residents.”Continue Reading…Videos of the WeekDOJ May Have Only Released 2% of Epstein Cache — Despite Bondi’s Claim ‘All’ Files Released, Report Findsby David GilmourA new investigation examining emails sent between federal investigators and prosecutors has raised fresh doubts over the Department of Justice’s claim that it has released the full cache of Jeffrey Epstein files, suggesting the material made public amounts to just 2% of the data gathered by federal agents.U.K.-based broadcaster Channel 4 News reported that internal emails seen by its journalists show federal investigators expected to process between 20 and 40 terabytes of data seized from Epstein’s properties, including his Florida mansion, New York townhouse, and private island.The broadcaster added that emails between investigators discussed the data “totaling” up to 50 terabytes from the “earliest stages” in June 2020.In another internal email from 2025, the report continued, officials said that they were “looking at approximately 14.6 terabytes of archived data.”Continue reading…Lowkey: Starmer, Mandelson & Mossad – It’s Worse Than You ThinkLowkey:Peter Mandelson was essentially number two to the Prime Minister of this country.

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.

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.

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.

See my article: What the F#%^ Happened in 1971? 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. HughesIn my recent interview promoting Camp3News.com, I outlined my “three camps of awareness” framework and suggested that it might be helpful to have a guide to spotting those in Camp 2.I summarized my “three camps” framework in the clip below:Continue reading…James Corbett: 10 Things I Learned from the Epstein Filesby James CorbettBy now we all know Bill Gates caught an STD from “Russian girls” and tried to surreptitiously drug his wife with antibiotics. And we’ve all heard that Elon Musk really wanted to engage in “the wildest party” on Epstein’s pedophile island.But beyond the attention-grabbing (or is that attention-distracting?) headlines, what’s really in the Epstein dump?Let’s find out.Brace yourselves for this one, guys. 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! It seems Epstein was a KGB plant the whole time!And, as the crack journalists at The Daily Mail report, not only was Epstein running a “KGB honeytrap,” one FBI informant claimed he was also a wealth manager for Putin and Mugabe.Continue reading…Why Did Epstein Name His Bank Account After a Child-Eating Demon?by The Wise Wolf and Lily-Rose DawsonLast Friday night you probably did something normal.Played a few games of pool at the bar. Took your kids to get ice cream and watched them make a mess of it. Sat on the couch with your wife and fell asleep before the movie ended. Grilled some burgers. Threw darts. 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!)

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.. Exposed! AND To See the Cage is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many.Substack Is Censoring Our Content… Now There are NO Major Platforms That Are Not Controlled.I was on The Last American Vagabond and Conscious Resistance Telethon/Fundraiser with a variety of other liberty-oriented content creators and shared some slides (below) showing that that right before Substack Announced their $100 MM Investment from BOND (”Ex”-Goldman Sachs, In-Q-Tel, Defense Innovation Board, Kleiner Perkins Partners) + The Chernin Group (Ex-News Corp) + Andreessen Horowitz (Funded other controlled platforms including Twitter, Facebook, FourSquare, BuzzFeed, and Medium), our growth on Substack, which had been growing significantly…12,000+ total subscribers across four different Substacks with hundreds of paid subscribers, a dozen plus Founding Members, etc.,suddenly fell off dramaticallyAcross all four Substacks… Simultaneously… almost as if a switch had been thrown…The first three images below are our top three Substacks… Which is what I shared with the audience.. tell the story…Other liberty-oriented creators sent me their Substack growth statistics showing the exact same fall off… at the exact same time… Below Left is Mike Winner… Below Right is Zowe Smith, everyone’s favorite Covid whistleblower from Vaxxed 3 and the author of My Life in the Thrill Kill Medical Cult.The censorship is now getting worse. Now Substack is simply not syndicating many of the the articles we publish to the folks who have subscribed to our publications. We have over 2700 hundred subscribers to The Daily News and another 600+ who subscribe to our once-per-day Daily News Digest version.We usually average between 600-1500 views of each story. Now we are seeing stories that have less than 20 views (which is probably just the folks who actually come to the home page… No distribution to the e-mail subscribers OR through the App… )We had hired two part-time employees to handle the publication of the articles and the customer service of our premiums. 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! 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.

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. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has the opportunity to buy back the meters, but he said the cost is too high.When the city sold the lease for the meters, parking cost $3 per hour – the current cost is $7 per hour to park downtown.Continue reading…Lobbying firms took in a record $5 billion in 2025By Emma Sullivan and Hien An NgoLobbying activity surpassed $5 billion for the first time in 2025, as corporations, interest groups and other organizations increased their spending 14 percent during the first year of President Donald Trump’s second term.Spending reached $5.08 billion for the year, according to an OpenSecrets analysis of federal lobbying reports, up 11 percent from 2024 after accounting for inflation. 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. Is This the First of Many?by Paul DraguOn Wednesday, the FBI raided the Fulton County election facility in Georgia as part of an investigation into the 2020 elections. 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.

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?

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.

+ The Unethically Manipulative Techniques That Made/Keep MAGA a CultDear Subscribers,Our main story this week is a video by Larken Rose exposing how Donald Trump supporters (I.E. The MAGA Movement) fit the textbook definition of a cult for continuing to support Trump after he has violated every single tenet of the conservative movement. From “Take the guns first, go through due process second” to masked goons on the street (acclimating the public to masked goons on the street) to taxes disguised as Tariffs to endless wars and continuing regime change operations, Trump has, quite literally, spit in the face of the conservative movement violating almost every single campaign promise.Additionally, it has become painfully obvious to anyone that isn’t delusional that he is obviously implicated in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. In the Epstein scandal, we have what appears to be an Israeli Mossad “Brownstone Operation” to blackmail powerful and influential people by photographing and filming them in sexual activity with minors. Trump was close friends with Epstein, he was bailed out of Bankruptcy by Rothschild, Inc, whose family lineage have been the #1 funders of Zionist Israel, his theatrical agent that created his “brand” as a successful businessman (even after four bankruptcies) with “The Apprentice” was Zionist Ari Emmanuel, his campaign was funded by Zionists to the tune of over four hundred million dollars since 2016, and now he is transferring Billions of dollars to Israel and enabling their genocide of the Palestinians. Seems obvious to me that the organized crime bankers behind organized crime Israel have installed a puppet into the US Presidency who is transferring over $20 billion in dollars, weapons and software (Palantir) being used in genocide, and waging/threatening war on Israel’s enemies in the region especially Yemen and Iran.Etienne Note: It is actually over $424 million when you include 2016 campaign donations.In my article accompanying the Larken Rose video, I “value-added” the video with some of the behavior psychology behind the indoctrinated cult-creation techniques we are exposing in my new book: To See the Cage is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many.I break down how the organized crime system using “government” to rob, control and tax-farm the American people are exploiting knowledge of behavioral psychology to indoctrinate the population with a pseudo-religion (Statism – The completely indoctrinated belief in having an easily-rigged “government” and ruling class).I specifically break down Technique #16 from To See the Cage is to Leave It:Exploiting Behavioral Psychology to Satisfy (Most) People’s Biological Desire for a Leader / Father Figure – Evolutionary leadership theory posits that most humans have an innate, biological desire for a leader as an evolutionary survival mechanism from our tribal past.Inter-generational organized crime leverages its understanding of behavioral psychology to offer the choice of two potential puppet leaders to become “Pope” of the indoctrinated Statist religion: a “Blue” Government Leader marketed to appeal to urban liberals, and a “Red” Government Leader designed to appeal to rural conservatives. Many people fall for the fake “Hobson’s Choice” (and Brute Force Manufactured Consensus) and begin to self-identify with their preferred “leader.”It is easy to manipulate a pre-determined outcome by having one leader presented by the monopoly media as worse than the other to trick the population into “voting for the lesser evil.”OTHERI am getting ready for our yearly sponsorship campaign. 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.

Journalist Clare Johnston recorded the progress that her parents made after only one year of weight training. Her 82-year old mother, Rhoda, who was diagnosed with osteoporosis in her 60’s could barely walk upright without support at 80. After doing the protocol, Rhoda radically improved her mobility, balance, and safety, and she’s also significantly improved her bone density by 6.6%. Strength training increases bone density and muscle building faster than other types of exercise.Clare’s father, Michael, 81, began deadlifting 66 pounds and increased the weight to 207 pounds by the end of the year.The training protocol takes 1.5 hours, twice per week.

More than 600 companies have been working with Trump’s ICE, including businesses in nearly every state.Continue readingDOJ to Charge Don Lemon Under the ‘KKK Act’ for Inciting Church Raid (VIDEO)Harmeet Dhillon, the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the Department of Justice, has announced that they plan to charge disgraced former CNN anchor Don Lemon under the Ku Klux Klan Act,by Cassandra MacDonaldThe impending charges stem from Lemon’s involvement when a group of anti-ICE activists stormed a church in Minneapolis, disrupting a religious service and intimidating worshippers, on Sunday.The Ku Klux Klan Act, formally known as the Enforcement Act of 1871, prohibits conspiracies to threaten, injure, or intimidate individuals to prevent them from exercising their constitutional rights, including the free exercise of religion.Continue readingIn 2026, ICE detainees are dying at an alarming rateby Judd Legum, Rebecca Crosby, and Noel SimsIn 2025, 32 people died in the custody of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). That figure was the largest in more than two decades and tied for the highest number of deaths among ICE’s detainee population ever.2026 is only three weeks old, and it’s already shaping up to be much worse. In just 21 days, at least six people have died in ICE custody.Last year, ICE did not have six in-custody deaths until April 25. The early trends put ICE on pace for 120 in-custody deaths in 2026.Continue readingDeloitte, a $74 billion cancer metastasized across Americaby BeaverConsulting feesYou were never meant to hear the name “Deloitte” and you were never meant to know that the government has wasted $74 billion by working with them. Quietly, Deloitte is one of the largest contractors “building” American government IT systems. Medicaid enrollment, unemployment insurance, child welfare case management, food assistance eligibility. When you interact with a state benefits system, theres a decent chance Deloitte built it.In building the 600m row (and growing) database for somaliscan, I sorted through literally millions of invoices, and once name continued to appear; Deloitte. California’s unemployment fraud disaster that cost the state $32 billion? Built by Deloitte. Tennessee kicking 250,000 children off Medicaid? Built by Deloitte.

Ding ding ding, DELOITTE.Continue reading“Daily News of The Week”6 Habits of Highly Successful Entrepreneursby Paul O’BrienThe research isn’t vague anymore. Decades of behavioral economics, psychology, and entrepreneurship studies have piled up enough evidence to stop pretending success is random. Whether someone builds alone or inside a founding team, outcomes track to a small set of repeatable human behaviors. Put the right skills and habits inside a young organization and it compounds. Miss them, and no amount of hustle theater, demo day pitches, or motivational posters saves you.That matters because we finally know how to serve entrepreneurs better. I’ve written extensively about what separates founders who build durable companies from those who burn time and capital, pulling from personality research, venture outcomes, and ecosystem data. Academic work, including research coming out of Oxford University and aligned institutions, keeps reinforcing the same point: certain traits correlate strongly with entrepreneurial success, while others do not. Risk tolerance, openness, internal locus of control, and conscientious execution show up again and again in the data. Society is slowly learning that helping entrepreneurs doesn’t mean telling everyone they’re equally suited to founding a company. This means encouraging people to try, teaching them the methodology, and then helping those without certain traits partner with or co-found alongside people who have them.Continue readingBanks seize 367,000 homes as housing pain spreads across US… and it is about to get much worseEtienne Note: To understand the inherent criminality of the fractional reserve banking system creating money out of thin air and then stealing REAL assets when people can’t pay, see our previous article: The Credit River Case – First National Bank of Montgomery v. Daly Exposed That Banks Create Money out of THIN AIRBy Martha Williams, Us Real Estate & Consumer ReporterThe past year was difficult for homeowners — but experts warn that 2026 could be even more challenging.Foreclosures — when a bank or lender takes back a home after missed mortgage payments — rose 14 percent from a year earlier.In total, 367,460 US properties faced foreclosure filings in 2025, meaning they were in some stage of being taken over by a lender, according to ATTOM’s data.Experts warn even more homes may be seized in 2026. ‘If the job market weakens, and it may very well, then we could unfortunately down the road see the increase in the foreclosure rate significantly accelerate,’ said economist Michael Szanto.Indeed, the outlook for the housing market — and the wider economy — is increasingly bleak. In total, the US added only around 584,000 jobs in 2025, making it the weakest year for job growth outside a recession since 2003.Continue readingA NEW WAY TO GET RID OF ALUMINUM, OUR WORST ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DISASTERCoauthors: Jeff Lioon, Jonathan RickertAluminum is the environmental toxin causing the most human harm—an international health emergency no one speaks about. Although mercury and other heavy metals are more toxic, aluminum is far more common. It is in the air and on every surface, a worldwide contaminant that is just about everywhere. Avoiding it is impossible. Aluminum’s foul properties are ruthlessly concealed by an industry that is knowingly murdering us for profit. Because of them, cleaning up our air and other aluminum sources will not happen any time soon.Continue readingFed set to buy $55B in Treasuries over 4 weeksby AlexContinue readingThe ‘America First’ Lie: How the U.S. Loots Nations, Installs Dictators, and Calls it ‘Democracy’by Matt AgoristThey told us they were “restoring order” in Argentina and “fighting terror” in the Middle East. Instead, they created a blueprint for mass murder, economic theft, and a perpetual state of war.If you listen closely to the wind blowing in from the Caribbean this week, you can smell it. It’s the distinct, metallic scent of “democracy” being delivered at Mach speeds—a fragrance composed of cordite, burning infrastructure, blood, and, most importantly, crude oil.Continue readingAmericans Bear Almost All the Cost of Trump Tariffs, Study Showsby Brendan MurrayBloomberg) — President Donald Trump’s duties on imported goods are paid almost entirely by American importers, their domestic customers and ultimately US consumers, a study from a German think tank concluded.“Foreign exporters did not meaningfully reduce their prices in response to US tariff increases,” a report released Monday by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy said. “The $200 billion surge in customs revenue represents $200 billion extracted from American businesses and households.”The study found that only about 4% of the tariff burden is shouldered by foreign firms, with a “near-complete” pass-through of 96% to US buyers that pay the levies and then must either absorb them or raise selling prices. Manufacturers and retailers are next in line in deciding whether they’ll pass along their higher costs or deal with tighter margins.Continue readingMillions of Iranians Can’t Be Wrongby Kevin BarrettThe people of Iran have spoken. Massive, gargantuan, humongous protests, “the biggest and most beautiful protests the world has ever seen” as Trump would say, have brought countless millions of Iranians into the streets to send the theocrats (and parliamentary representatives) who govern them a message:“We love you! We love the Islamic Republic! We despise the Operation Gladio terrorists Israel and the US keep sending to murder our police officers and vandalize our property.”The patriotic pro-Iran protests were orders of magnitude larger than the comparatively minuscule “please fix the economy” protests infiltrated by the CIA’s Gladio killers and US-taxpayer-financed vandals. The largest “anti-government” protest (which was actually not anti-government at all, just pro-Iranian-economy) brought perhaps 10,000 people AT MOST into streets in downtown Tehran on January 8. Western propaganda media grossly inflated that already-generous number, falsely reported that most protesters were anti-Islamic-Republic rather than pro-economy, and hallucinated various ridiculous numbers of poor, innocent, peaceful demonstrators being killed by police. In reality, CIA-Mossad paid killers were hunting and killing police officers, while rooftop Gladio snipers were shooting at both police and protesters, as during the Maidan Square coup of 2014 and so many similar operations. By the time it was over, more than 100 Iranian police had been murdered, and Western-paid vandals had caused millions of dollars worth of damage, without advancing their regime change agenda one iota.Continue readingA Deep Dive Into Butyrate — Your Gut’s Powerhouse Moleculeby Dr. Joseph MercolaButyrate is a short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) produced by gut bacteria that ferment dietary fiber.

Hilariously, the Fed admits that one of the factors for the revised costs is “differences over time between original estimates and actual costs of materials, equipment, and labor.” Translation: “Looks like we’re not so good at forecasting and stabilizing future price inflation.”At this point, extravagant government boondoggles are barely newsworthy. A few people batted their eyelashes last week at Trump’s proposal to expand military funding by half a trillion dollars but everyone has forgotten about it now because it was last week and attention spans are measured in seconds these days.But the Fed’s building renovations are causing more of a stir. Senator Tim Scott questioned Powell about it last June, and now the Department of Justice has issued subpoenas about Powell’s answers. Powell responded with an uncharacteristically blunt message, saying that the DOJ’s actions are a pretext—that this is all a part of a plot, led by Trump, to diminish Fed independence in its monetary policy decisionsContinue readingAI-powered “RoboCops” take up traffic duties in Chinese citiesby Brian WangThe total wealth that has left California is now $1 trillion.California had $2 trillion of billionaire wealth just a few weeks ago. Now, 50% of that wealth has left – taking their income tax revenue, sales tax revenue, real estate tax revenue and all their staffs (and their salaries and income taxes) with them.In other words, by starting this ill conceived attempt at an asset tax, the California budget deficit will explode. And we still don’t know if the tax will even make the ballot. If the measures passes, it could be held up with lawsuit challenges.California billionaires were reliable tax payers – 13.3% every year.Unless this ballot initiative is pulled, we will not stop the billionaire exodus. With no rich people left in California, the middle class will have to foot the bill.Continue readingMore than 8,000 US chain stores closed up shop in 2025 — heralding a ‘retail apocalypse’by Allison LaxTwo big-name retailers have already announced store closures just two weeks into 2026 — and experts warn that the retail-shuttering roundup is only going to get more bleak.Household name department store Macy’s announced last week that it was shutting down 14 “underproductive” stores, while Saks Global group filed for bankruptcy on Tuesday.The hard-hitting blows to the two megastores come after more than 8,000 chain retail stores across different companies occurred in 2025, including Rite Aid, Joann and Party City, according to data shared by Coresight Research to the Daily Mail.“America has been over-retailed,” said Ward Kampf, president of Northwood Retail. “We built and built, focusing on growth, expansion, and development, and now the focus is on profitability, performance and margins.”Continue readingCarney’s Beijing Gambit Triggers Trump Warning In The Form Of A Big Beautiful Mapby Tyler DurdenAfter over the weekend warning that he would impose a 10% tariff on imports from several European countries in response to their opposition to his Greenland takeover plan, later threatening the tariff could be raised to 25% within weeks if those governments fail to fall in line – President Trump has once again escalated, this time with an overnight Truth Social post of a map showing not just Greenland as part of the US but Canada too.The image features President Trump addressing European leaders in the Oval Office. In the background is a map with Canada, Greenland, Venezuela and Cuba shown them as part of the United States, draped over by American flag colors.The image is actually an edited version of a real photograph from when various leaders including French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen – were in Washington, DC in August 2025, for talks focused on Ukraine peace.Continue readingDark KievEtienne Note: See the next story down as well.The image is a visualization of a massive Russian missile and drone attack on Ukraine that occurred overnight on January 9, 2026.

The group, and its media arm, the Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) have become the go-to group of experts for Western media, and are the source of many of the most inflammatory claims and shockingly high casualty figures reported in the press. In the past week alone, their assertions have provided much of the basis for stories in CNN, The Wall Street Journal, NPR, ABC News, Sky News, and The New York Post, among others. And in a passionate plea for leftists to support the protests, Owen Jones wrote in The Guardian Tuesday that HRAI are a “respected” group whose death toll proclamations are “probably significant underestimates.”Continue reading12 Ways to Switch to Reusable Stuff in a Disposable Worldby Daisy LutherWe live in a convenience-driven society. Fast food businesses thrive while home cooking flounders. Trips to the pharmacy can now be undertaken without getting out of your car, using the handy drive-through. Standard cleaning products are quickly being overtaken by disposable items you toss in the trash after one use. We’ve been brainwashed by the marketing companies to believe that the simplest things are wildly inconvenient, and that in our time-crunched society we must pay for shortcuts.All of this convenience has a high price tag. Not only are you spending money unnecessarily at the check-out counter for all of that convenience, but the planet is getting buried under mountains of rubbish. The average American produces 1600 pounds of garbage per year.Did you ever stop to think about how many disposable things you buy? We do our shopping monthly instead of weekly, and this makes it a lot more noticeable on our bill when we load up with things that will be thrown out. I just checked the price, and a 6-pack of good-quality paper towels would add about $15 to my bill. If you’re in a position in which every penny counts, that $15 could be buying you a necessity like food. Even if you have no concern about the landfills, you probably want to save money, right? Pennies each week add up to dollars each month, and hundreds of dollars over the course of a year.Continue readingSurging “Education” Spending Squeezing Homeowners Outby Alex NewmanSo-called “education” is raising property taxes, forcing citizens—especially those on fixed incomes—to sell homes. The indoctrination scheme isn’t just harming youth; it’s destroying private property.With government spending on “public education” ballooning, surging property tax rates to fund it in some states are forcing homeowners to cut back on living expenses or even to sell their homes — especially those on fixed incomes such as retirees. Vermont is ground zero but it is hardly alone.Government “education” is by far the largest driver of increased property taxes each year. With the whole national system costing over $1 trillion per year, almost half of that in most states is coming from local property taxes. And as costs of government “education” skyrocket, so do property taxes.Continue readingBait-and-Switch: Victims of the LA Wildfires Find That Local Government Wants Them GoneEtienne Note: I am adding a Flashback Video of Adam Corolla’s take on “rebuilding under the “9 Angry Lesbians Running the Coastal Commission” from our previous coverage: 10 Things You Should Know About The LA Fires + Best CA Fire Memes + Adam Corolla’s Take on Rebuilding Under the “9 Angry Lesbians Running the Coastal Commission”by Mises Wire, William L. AndersonAs our relative walked through what had been her family home, she began to cry as she recorded the destruction. Her place was one of the thousands burned down a year ago in the Palisades Fire in Los Angeles. Other relatives living in Altadena had to flee the Eaton Fire at about the same time, although their home was not damaged. Likewise, the childhood home of my wife’s cousins was also consumed in that same fire.Our relatives were just a few people affected by these two fires, which together destroyed almost 17,000 homes. In a place known historically for wildfires, this was almost unprecedented in its destruction, yet both fires could have been prevented had people in authority simply cared to act. Unfortunately, California governance once again has caught the people of LA both coming and going, as the cause of the Palisades Fire was due to deliberate decisions by authorities to protect so-called endangered plants instead of the residents of the city. After the fires, government officials have made it nearly impossible for people to rebuild.Continue readingLeaked Doc: Homeland Security’s Domestic Terror Obsessionby Ken KlippensteinDespite Donald Trump’s fixation with Greenland and the suggestion that military action is imminent, the 2026 Homeland Threat Assessment, a draft of which was leaked to me, focuses instead on domestic terrorism.The annual assessment, which has been prepared since 2020, purports to offer a holistic assessment to threats to the Western Hemisphere. These assessments have consistently focused on what you imagine: southern border security, the drug trade, immigration, and critical infrastructure protection in the United States.But this year’s assessment, marked “For Official Use Only” and not yet released to the public, identifies violent extremism on the part of American citizens as the priority and greatest threat.One phrase in particular stands out to me as new: potential terrorism based upon “class-based or economic grievances.” (The term has not appeared in any previous assessment.)Continue readingThe CDC Whistleblower from VAXXED Has Been Promoted to Lead Childhood Vaccine Adverse Events Researchby Amber BakerA senior researcher at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) William Thompson, PhD, who previously came forward in 2014 as a whistleblower claiming that the agency omitted statistically significant data related to MMR (measles-mumps-rubella)vaccine risks, has been promoted to oversee federal research into adverse experiences in childhood affecting long-term health outcomes for children. STAT News reported Thompson’s appointment in late December 2025.1Dr. Thompson, a longtime CDC scientist who advised Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. on vaccine policy has been promoted to a GS-15 position, the highest civilian rank in federal service, with supervisory authority. In his new role, Thompson will help oversee research related to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), a category that includes traumatic and destabilizing experiences such as abuse, neglect, substance use in the home, food insecurity, housing instability, and other stressors known to affect long-term health outcomes.1Continue readingFury as Amazon Ring Cameras Are Hooked Up to ICE SystemEtienne Note: We make the case that Amazon is a “Control of Perception” company overfunded to dominate books, streaming, on-line retail, hosting, and other commerce while simultaneously spying on the public with Alexa and Ring doorbell camera that have been quietly “wired” into thousands of police stations, FBI “Fusion Centers” and now ICE in our Five Meme Friday Article: If you spin the “Z” Amazon spells: A Mason – Plus MORE evidence, that you can find here: https://fivememefriday.substack.com/p/fivememefri-how-to-get-our-bookBy Joe WilkinsAs US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents wreak havoc on American communities, big tech companies have been making themselves indispensable to the increasingly tyrannical state.Among them is Amazon subsidiary Ring, the company behind those AI doorbell cameras that have exploded in popularity over the last few years. Back in October, Ring announced that its devices would soon be looped into a network of Flock AI surveillance cameras. That network, an investigation by 404 Media found, has been available to local and federal police and enforcement agencies like ICE — leaving many worried that their Ring doorbell cams are now feeding into a government panopticon.Continue readingMapped: How Rent Prices Vary Across Major Cities WorldwideBy Niccolo Conte Article/Editing: Bruno Venditti Graphics/Design: Joyce MaSee visuals like this from many other data creators on our Voronoi app. Download it for free on iOS or Android and discover incredible data-driven charts from a variety of trusted sources.Key TakeawaysNew York is the most expensive city in the world for renting a three-bedroom apartment in the city center in 2025.Rent costs vary widely by region, with North America and Western Europe dominating the top end.Rising housing costs remain a defining issue for cities around the world.

Or AIPAC is. AIPAC is a dirty word among Democrats because it refuses to criticize the Netanyahu government.California Governor Gavin Newsom and Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner are both refusing AIPAC donations. In New York City, progressive Democratic candidates are primarying two sitting congressmen, Ritchie Torres and Dan Goldman, and making the incumbent’s donations from AIPAC an issue.And not just Democrats. In announcing her resignation from Congress, the Republican firebrand Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted that she takes no money from AIPAC– and “condemns Israeli genocide” — in contrast to Donald Trump, who has gotten over $230 million in pro-Israel money, and backs Israeli genocide to the hilt.Continue readingThe Central Banking Cartel Is Bleeding Us Dry And They Are Using The Statist Religion As The Hypodermic Needleby Gavin MounseyWe were raised to believe that taxes are the benevolent government’s way of caring for and protecting us with infrastructure, military, education and “health” care. We are told that this part of a “social contract” in which the state provides security, infrastructure, and collective purpose in exchange for taxation and civic participation.It`s all a big fat lie.Income tax was introduced as a “temporary wartime measure” and the government promised it would never keep taking people’s money like that just because it has the muscle to do so, yet here we are a hundred years later still paying a huge portion of our hard earned money from each paycheck.Continue readingThe Great Mind F*ck: Donald Trump was the star of the technocrats’ debutante ballby Collapse LifeThey say actions speak louder than words. That aphorism was palpable at the World Economic Forum in Davos this year, the moment Donald J. Trump — president of the United States and (arguably) the world’s greatest villain — appeared on the stage.First, the audience clapped politely. Then they rose into a standing ovation. They cheered and lifted their phones to record the scene the way people do when they know they’re witnessing something they will want to share with others later.Continue readingMilitary Buildup In The Middle East Continues, Including What Trump Describes As A “Big Flotilla” (Updated)by Howard AltmanThe U.S. is continuing to build up its military presence in the Middle East ahead of a possible attack on Iran. The USS Abraham Lincoln and its Carrier Strike Group (CSG) is now in the Indian Ocean, a U.S. Navy official told The War Zone on Thursday. The CSG was in the South China Sea until U.S. President Donald Trump ordered it moved west. In addition, more cargo jets and aerial refueling tankers have arrived in the region. Trump on Thursday said a large naval presence is heading to the region.These movements come as Trump has threatened to strike Iran over its brutal treatment of anti-government protesters, which has resulted in thousands of deaths.“We have a big flotilla going in that direction, and we’ll see what happens,” Trump told reporters Thursday afternoon. “We have a big force going toward Iran. I’d rather not see anything happen, but we’re watching them very closely.Continue readingDonald Trump Warns of ‘Armada’ Heading To IranBy Brendan Cole and John FengPresident Donald Trump has touted a “massive” naval force was on its way to Iran in a warning to the Islamic Republic’s rulers, who are facing their biggest protests for years.Trump told reporters on Air Force One on Thursday “we have an armada.

A giddy 6/8 Irish jig that turns a global headline into a roaring Irish pub song packed with satire, sing-alongs, and spilled stout. Set in a warm, chaotic pub where the fiddle skips faster than common sense, Greenland Is Not Fer Sale tells a ridiculous tale of tantrums, nursery-rhyme logic, and the unstoppable wisdom of pub laughter. With skippin’ fiddle, cheeky tin whistle, tappin’ bodhrán, puffin’ accordion, and a crowd that won’t stay quiet, this Irish drinking song escalates from playful mockery into full cartoon chaos. The song leans hard into Irish folk humour — where exaggeration is tradition, ridicule is rhythmic, and even the silliest sulk can fuel a chorus. Sung in a theatrical Munster accent and built for foot-stompin’ sessions, this one’s made to be shouted back across the bar.libertarian Intentional Community RoundupFree State Project (NH) UpdateAnother day, another New Hampshire W!Defend the Guard ensures that state national guard troops cannot be deployed unless Congress has declared war.Campus Carry just made it out of committee!

Jorge Cálix of the Liberal Party / Partido Liberal de Honduras, PLH narrowly defeated the ruling party’s candidate backed by President Xiomara Castro (Libre Party). The election ended 12 years of leftist rule under the Libre Party and their open hostility to Prospera.Cálix was sworn in January 2026, promising a more centrist and investor‑friendly approach, emphasizing economic recovery, job creation, and stability. During the transition period (Dec 2025), Cálix publicly described Próspera as an “innovative but mishandled initiative” and called for “dialogue instead of confrontation.”He has indicated willingness to review the legal framework rather than erase it outright, stating that investors need legal certainty. In early January 2026, Cálix told La Tribuna and El Heraldo:“Honduras must honor its commitments, even as we reform, not tear down. We seek to ensure that ventures like Próspera benefit the Honduran people and respect sovereignty.”All of this is favorable for Prospera and while the outcome of the arbitration and potential $10 billion (USD) judgement isn’t expected until June-Sept 2026, the judgement will impact the current incoming administration so there is pressure for them to settle the case in the coming year.Prospera is HiringSenior Tech LeadOwn and build all Próspera softwareGovernance OperationsRun the ‘government’ machine – operational and legal in nature.Real Estate DirectorReal Estate Partner Lead LawyerThey are also looking to partner with entrepreneurs wanting to build a community layer in a relevant niche as an L2 partner.Prospera is offering a referral bonus of $7,500 for any candidate who’s hired and remains with them for at least four months so let em know you saw this in Five Meme Friday.The LiberatorThe Liberator– Our archive of “government” and media criminalityImportant Note: New additions are added to the authoritative Liberator Dropboxes regularly but will not appear in the physical credit card-sized flash drive until we launch the next version.

+ Etienne’s Interview on Geopolitics & Empire – How Folks are Using Our Books to Go After Local GovernmentsDear Subscribers,The lead story this week is an interview that I had with Hrvoje Moric from Geopolitics & Empire where we discussed my new book: To See the Cage is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many and how folks are using it to go on the offensive against local, state and the federal “government” by using it to wake up their friends, relatives and colleagues to the scams of “government.”In the e-mail version of the interview that I sent to our house e-mail list (Vs. the Substack version) I shared that the Art of Liberty supporter that is dropping 258 copies of the book to VIPs, Law Enforcement, and others had 41 copies that were donated to the Rutherford County, NC Sheriff’s Department confiscated by a member of the command staff. I shared the phone number of the Sheriff’s department in that e-mail and now I understand that the copies ARE going to be distributed to the rank and file employees to whom they were donated. is a very powerful dynamic and I feel like we are finally starting to play offense against the organized crime “government” that has had us on the defensive. We are now starting to widely expose the illegitimacy of “government” to the employees themselves…Jude Roberts from The Red Pill Friends is in Memphis tonight. Julie and I are excited to take him to dinner and see some Blues!I am about to pop in to the Last American Vagabond at 12:30 PM CST today right after I hit send on this e-mail to talk with Ryan Cristian and Derrick Broze.We will be live on Ryan’s channels here: https://www.thelastamericanvagabond.com/last-american-vagabond-conscious-resistance-fundraiser-1-16-26/ and on The Conscious Resistance YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8n_08UJH-ETop Stories of the WeekEtienne de la Boetie² on Geopolitics & Empire – The Scam of Statism & NationalismEtienne Breaks Down the Sneaky and Unethically Manipulative Techniques the Federal “Government” is using on the PopulationHrvoje Morić:Welcome to another edition of geopolitics.

Welcome back to the podcast.Etienne de la Boetie:A, it is great to be with you and your audience once again.Hrvoje Morić:A lot is going on; you’re always busy. If you want, maybe we can start with your new publication and the work you’re doing. What’s going on there?Etienne de la Boetie:Yes, sir, so I’ve got a new book. The book is called To See the Cage Is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many. And just to set the table for the audience: I’m a voluntarist author. I don’t believe in the legitimacy, the necessity, or the desirability of having a government.And in both my book, To See the Cage Is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many. In my my first book, “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed!, how intergenerational organized crime runs the government, the media, and academia. I make the case that government is best thought of as a technique for robbing and controlling populations. In the new book, I break down 25 different sub-techniques that governments use surreptitiously to get the population to go along with having a ruling class. Some of these are obvious.Continue reading…Videos of the WeekEtienne on Declare Your Independence with Ernest Hancock – The Death of the “Chump Report?”I appeared on Declare Your Independence with Ernest Hancock. We discussed the, hopeful, death of the Trump Report (Which I call the Chump Report) a recurring segment where Dr. Phranq Tamburri, a naturopathic physician has been pumping Trump and effectively promoting his legitimacy for a decade. Years ago I grew so sick of it that I challenged Dr. Phranq to a debate on the program where I dropped truth bomb after truth bomb on him. Evidently, after a decade of lies and tyranny, Dr. Phranq has finally figured it out and is giving up on Trump! LOL.. We also talk about my new book To See the Cage is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many and how folks are using it to go on the offense vs. local, state, and the federal “government” with one Art of Liberty Foundation supporter dropping 258 copies on her local community starting with 41 copies to the Sheriff’s Department.Watch on YouTube…“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.

No matter which side of the fence that you are on, nobody can deny that we have witnessed seismic political changes over the last 12 months. Meanwhile, the AI revolution is transforming our lives in ways that we don’t even understand. But despite all of our advanced technology, we can’t stop the endless barrage of natural disasters that has been pummeling us in 2025, and hunger continues to spread all over the globe. Of course war has been a major theme from the very beginning of the year to the very end of the year. Humanity has been facing one major crisis after another, and people are steadily getting angrier and more frustrated.Our world is changing at a pace that is absolutely breathtaking. If you always wanted to live in “interesting” times, you have certainly gotten your wish. The following are 30 numbers from 2025 that are almost too crazy to believe…Continue readingWhat Makes All Vaccines So Dangerousby A Midwestern DoctorVaccines often cause various side effects, making it hard to identify common causes — many of which overlap with other mysterious and “incurable” ailmentsNeurologist Andrew Moulden discovered that vaccines frequently trigger microstrokes, which can lead to a myriad of acute and chronic diseasesForgotten research from the 1960s shows that blood cell clumping is a root cause of many diseases — a belief also shared by Chinese MedicineColloidal chemistry and zeta potential science reveal that positive charges around blood cells cause clumping. Agents with concentrated positive charges, such as aluminum and the COVID spike protein, are especially problematicImproving the physiologic zeta potential benefits a wide range of acute and chronic illnesses. A strong case can also be made that many conventional and holistic therapies work in part by enhancing zeta potentialContinue readingThe Idiocy of Using a $200 Billion Navy to Enforce a 140× Cocaine Premiumby David StockmanLast year there were 178 million alcohol drinkers in the US, which, unfortunately, resulted in 178,000 alcohol related deaths in the US. That’s a regrettable 0.1% fatality rate among users.But alcohol isn’t illegal because America hasn’t forgotten the bitter lessons of the Prohibition disaster 100 years ago.By contrast, the only illegal drug that comes in from Venezuela is cocaine. There is no evidence whatsoever by the Federal government’s own lights that any fentanyl comes into the US from Venezuela.So the “killer” drug they are gumming about is cocaine. Yet even then Venezuela grows zero percent of the annual US supply of about 826,000 pounds, and accounts for only 8% of US bound shipments via transit from Colombia and other sources.Still, cocaine may well be both illegal and a dubious source of recreational stimulants for most people, but it is actually no more deadly than alcohol. To wit, according to DEA and other government agencies, last year there were about 5 million cocaine users in the USA and about 5,000 deaths from pure cocaine overdoses.Continue readingBest Crops for Cold Frames and Hoop Houses in Winterby Dr. Joseph MercolaWinter gardening works because sunlight, not outdoor air temperature, drives growth inside cold frames and hoop houses, allowing you to harvest fresh food even when it’s freezing outsideCold-tolerant crops like roots and hardy greens grow more slowly in winter but often taste better, giving you higher-quality produce during months when fresh options are limitedSuccessful winter harvests depend on planting earlier than expected, so crops reach harvest size before deep cold slows growth to a crawlOverheating on sunny winter days causes more crop losses than freezing temperatures, which makes regular venting more important than adding heatLayered protection and thoughtful site preparation turn winter growing into a low-maintenance system that reduces reliance on stored or imported foodContinue readingFire Departments’ New Emergency: Affording Their Trucksby Eric SalzmanWhen I was a kid, one of the coolest things was that every year, a few days before Christmas, our town’s fire department would drive through all the neighborhoods in its gleaming fire engine with the lights flashing, giving short bursts of the siren. All the firemen were in full gear hanging off the sides, while Santa, sitting at the top, threw candy canes to us all. The fire department was special, especially to the kids whose dads or uncles were volunteers.These days, that truck may not be as shiny as it once was, as there are many trucks in service that should have been retired or kept only as backups because of how prone to failure they are. That’s what happened in Camden, NJ, in March 2024. From NJ.com:Camden Fire Capt. Will Johnson and his crew arrived within five minutes in Engine 8, a battle-scarred, 21-year-old truck. Flames roared from the second-floor windows as firefighters rushed in, spraying water to try to save Shawn, 35.Continue readingUK: Money Laundering Policies Result in Debanking of Hundreds of Thousands of Peopleby Prosperity Institute, Midlands-TV and GB NewsAn estimated 453,230 accounts – the highest figure in a decade – were shut down, according to figures released to The Telegraph under Freedom of Informatio­n rules. This trend has raised concerns about the impact of overregulation and anti-money laundering laws on account closures.Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said that hundreds of thousands of people will still be targeted by the new rules. The excuse for debanking is rooting out financial crimes, but the reality is that it is easier for banks to close an account rather than go through an extensive process to try and source the money in unusual transactions.Debanking continues to be a major issue in the UK as nearly 500,000 customers saw their accounts forcibly closed last year, the highest level in a decade, shocking new figures have found.Continue readingAt Least Half of the $2 Trillion in Billionaire Wealth Have Left Californiaby Brian WangThe total wealth that has left California is now $1 trillion.California had $2 trillion of billionaire wealth just a few weeks ago. Now, 50% of that wealth has left – taking their income tax revenue, sales tax revenue, real estate tax revenue and all their staffs (and their salaries and income taxes) with them.In other words, by starting this ill conceived attempt at an asset tax, the California budget deficit will explode. And we still don’t know if the tax will even make the ballot. If the measures passes, it could be held up with lawsuit challenges.California billionaires were reliable tax payers – 13.3% every year.Unless this ballot initiative is pulled, we will not stop the billionaire exodus. With no rich people left in California, the middle class will have to foot the bill.Continue readingThe Machinery of Terrorby Chris HedgesI have seen the masked goons who terrorize our streets before. I saw them during the “Dirty War” in Argentina, where 30,000 men, women and children were “disappeared” by the military junta. Victims were held in secret prisons, savagely tortured and murdered. To this day, many families do not know the fate of their loved ones.I saw them in El Salvador, when death squads were killing 800 people a month. I saw them in Guatemala under the dictatorship of José Efraín Ríos Montt. I saw them in Augusto Pinochet’s Chile and in Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. I saw them in Iran under the rule of the ayatollahs where I was arrested and jailed twice and once deported in handcuffs. I saw them in Hafez al-Assad’s Syria. I saw them in Bosnia, where Muslims were herded into concentration camps, executed and buried in mass graves.Continue readingTheir Bodies Were Irreversibly Damaged, Now These Former Transgender Teens Are Fighting for Justiceby Tyler DurdenAuthored by Darlene McCormick Sanchez via The Epoch Times,Young people who used to identify as transgender have filed dozens of lawsuits in the past few years, but have yet to win a verdict in their favor.They are known as “detransitioners,” those who regret changing their gender identity, often after making irreversible changes to their bodies via medication and surgery on the advice of medical professionals.This year, several cases that have survived dismissal and arbitration, are making their way into courtrooms across the country.​These cases face obstacles, including statutes of limitations, caps on medical malpractice awards, and huge legal bills for cases that can drag on for years.​One case in New York, scheduled to go to trial this week, involves a then 16-year-old girl who thought she was a male and underwent a double mastectomy in December 2019, according to court documents. She has since detransitioned.Continue readingFarmland Shock: Georgia Grower Drops 3,000 Acres, Warns Of Unplanted Ground In 2026By Chris Bennett via AGWebThere is a catastrophic collapse of American agriculture coming in 2026-2027. Say adios to generational farmers. Wave to the fields growing weeds instead of nutritious crops. Banks are expecting record bankruptcies, remaining farmers are cutting back acreage to try to survive. Monopolies, government meddling, the United Nations, and globalization all play a part, but collectively, they are killing the goose that laid the golden egg in the first place – the American farmer. ⁃ Patrick Wood, Editor.Responding to crippling input costs, Alex Harrell slashes his cropland in half and predicts significant U.S. acres may be bare come spring.How deep is the farm crisis? Adios to acreage.In November 2025, Alex Harrell, among the most highly reputed producers in the U.S., dropped an old-school grading scale, A to F, across his 6,000-acre operation and slashed almost half his ground, notifying 12 landlords in a three-week window. “I can’t speak to the rest of the country, but around here, generational growers are either cutting back, quitting, falling into Chapter 12, or grasping at straws.”Continue readingFacing Contempt Threat, Clintons Refuse to Testify in Epstein InquiryBy Annie KarniBill and Hillary Clinton refused on Tuesday to testify in the House’s Jeffrey Epstein investigation, escalating a monthslong battle with its Republican leader, Representative James R. Comer of Kentucky, who quickly said he would take steps to hold them in contempt of Congress.“Every person has to decide when they have seen or had enough and are ready to fight for this country, its principles and its people, no matter the consequences,” the Clintons wrote in a lengthy letter to Mr. Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, which was obtained by The New York Times. “For us, now is that time.”Mr. Comer’s relentless efforts to force them to testify reflect his overall approach to his panel’s Epstein inquiry. He has sought to deflect focus from President Trump’s ties to the convicted sex offender and his administration’s decision to close its investigation into the matter without releasing key information. Instead, he has worked to shift the spotlight onto prominent Democrats who once associated with Mr. Epstein and his longtime companion Ghislaine Maxwell.Continue readingHome Depot Deploys Havana-Style Sonic Weapon Against Day LaborersBy Joe WilkinsWhile federal agents working for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) are running up on migrant workers in Home Depot parking lots, the home improvement corporation has decided to take a stand — against the migrant workers.Reporting by The Guardian reveals a cruel new initiative being rolled out to one high-traffic Home Depot location in Los Angeles’ Cypress Park: high-pitched noise machines meant to shoo away day laborers.The Intituto de Educacion Popular del Sur de California (Idepsca), an advocacy group for migrant workers, is calling for the removal of three sonic devices they say are causing migrant workers to suffer headaches and nausea.In some areas, it’s common for day laborers to congregate outside home improvement stores like Home Depot, where they can find new gigs, catch rides to job sites, and quickly buy new equipment or material. It’s all part of the informal gig economy, a system which exploits poor and working class people for cheap labor.Continue readingPentagon bought device through undercover operation some investigators suspect is linked to Havana SyndromeBy Katie Bo Lillis, Natasha Bertrand, Priscilla Alvarez, Jim Sciutto, Zachary CohenThe Defense Department has spent more than a year testing a device purchased in an undercover operation that some investigators think could be the cause of a series of mysterious ailments impacting US spies, diplomats and troops that are colloquially known as Havana Syndrome, according to four sources briefed on the matter.A division of the Department of Homeland Security, Homeland Security Investigations, purchased the device for millions of dollars in the waning days of the Biden administration, using funding provided by the Defense Department, according to two of the sources. Officials paid “eight figures” for the device, these people said, declining to offer a more specific number.The device is still being studied and there is ongoing debate — and in some quarters of government, skepticism — over its link to the roughly dozens of anomalous health incidents that remain officially unexplained.Continue readingSix Prosecutors Quit Over Push to Investigate ICE Shooting Victim’s WidowBy Ernesto LondoñoSix federal prosecutors in Minnesota resigned on Tuesday over the Justice Department’s push to investigate the widow of a woman killed by an ICE agent and the department’s reluctance to investigate the shooter, according to people with knowledge of their decision.Joseph H. Thompson, who was second in command at the U.S. attorney’s office and oversaw a sprawling fraud investigation that has roiled Minnesota’s political landscape, was among those who quit on Tuesday, according to three people with knowledge of the decision.Mr. Thompson’s resignation came after senior Justice Department officials pressed for a criminal investigation into the actions of the widow of Renee Nicole Good, the Minneapolis woman killed by an ICE agent on Wednesday.Mr. Thompson, 47, a career prosecutor, objected to that approach, as well as to the Justice Department’s refusal to include state officials in investigating whether the shooting itself was lawful, the people familiar with his decision said.Continue readingRetired Argentine General, Opposition Party and Locals Claim Israelis Caused Patagonia WildfiresBy Jerusalem PostA large wildfire in Patagonia began on January 5, 2026 and was said to be intentional. Argentine retired military general César Milani, alongside several key figures from the opposition, claimed that two Israelis used an IDF grenade to cause a wildfire in the Patagonia region of southern Argentina. In a post on the wildfires, Milani placed the blame on “a foreign state, pointed out by the locals themselves as responsible,” alongside a picture of Argentine President Javier Milei waving an Israeli flag. Opposition lawmaker Luis D’Elia posted this message: “The ‘Israelis’ are going around burning Patagonia.”Milei announced the repeal of the law that bans the immediate sale of land affected by fire for agribusiness and real estate development. This kind of law exists in most countries as a necessary safeguard against business incentives to torch public lands. Although the repeal has not gone into effect yet, it recently passed committee in the Senate and continues to be a key element in the government’s plan for a massive fire sale of Patagonian lands.Continue readingMore fool you: 10 modus operandi of the mass manipulatorsby Niall McCrae, off-guardian.orgThe powerful do not wait for events such as a pandemic to happen and then exploit; instead, they create the events, which are scripted for a predetermined outcome. But the masses must be kept in the dark about the real motives, while being steered into supporting policies that are against their interests. The modus operandi features the following means of deception.There are two audiences for public announcements and media reports on events. The vast majority (‘normies’) are told the official story and believe what they are told. They know it happened, because they saw it on ‘the news’. There is also a minority of critical thinkers, who the authorities know will ask questions and suspect that the narrative is not the full truth. These people are led to believe a parallel story.Continue readingSurging “Education” Spending Squeezing Homeowners OutBy Alex NewmanWith government spending on “public education” ballooning, surging property tax rates to fund it in some states are forcing homeowners to cut back on living expenses or even to sell their homes — especially those on fixed incomes such as retirees. Vermont is ground zero but it is hardly alone.Government “education” is by far the largest driver of increased property taxes each year. With the whole national system costing over $1 trillion per year, almost half of that in most states is coming from local property taxes. And as costs of government “education” skyrocket, so do property taxes.In the Green Mountain State, another wave of property-tax increases is cresting, threatening to wash away the dreams and financial security of thousands of homeowners. According to the Vermont Tax Department, property taxes are projected to jump by an astounding 12 percent in 2026, based on preliminary school budgets from two-thirds of local districts.Continue readingU.S. Freezes Visas to 75 CountriesBy Ken KlippensteinIn the latest sign of the sheer scale of the administration’s war on immigration, the State Department has moved to pause all immigrant visa issuances for applicants from 75 different of countries, according to a U.S. diplomatic cable leaked to me.Continue reading…Ron Manners at 90Etienne Note: Ron Manners is a hero of Liberty who founded the Australian equivalent of the Foundation for Economic Education and is indicative of the impact that just one single individual can have on an entire country. Happy Birthday Ron!by Lawrence W. ReedOn January 8, my friend Ron Manners will celebrate the achievement of reaching 90 years. A hero of liberty, it’s been my honor to know him for 40 of them. One of the three titles I carry proudly with FEE is “Ron Manners Global Ambassador for Liberty.”No list of Australian champions for freedom and free markets would be respectable if it didn’t place Ron at the top. He is an example of something all too rare: a successful entrepreneur (in the mining business) who has spent as much of his life and resources advocating freedom and free markets as he spent earning the wherewithal to do so in the first place. He recently authored a new book, The Impatient Libertarian, which I reviewed here.Continue readingSeeing Truth in the Age of Information Overloadby A Midwestern DoctorInformation Overload Crisis: Today’s endless data flood overwhelms the mind, triggering instability and reliance on simplistic narratives—ancient meditation practices build the inner stability needed to navigate this chaos clearly.Filters Create Reality: The mind adopts filters to simplify reality into something the conscious mind can process, inevitably removing many critical details while creating a biased and inaccurate perception of reality.Continue readingHHS Quietly Restores Title X Funding for Abortion Providersby Veronika KyrylenkoThe American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has withdrawn its legal challenge to the Trump administration after federal health officials reversed course and released tens of millions of dollars in previously frozen Title X “family planning” funds. The money, held back for most of last year, flowed largely to Planned Parenthood and several allied clinics. The funding reversal became public through reporting by Politico on Tuesday.The funds were disbursed by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in December, long after the lawsuit was filed and without any public announcement. According to the Catholic News Agency, the administration seemed unaware of the news:When asked about the report on Wednesday, Trump told reporters: “I don’t know anything about that.”“I have not heard that,” HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. added.Continue readingThe Censorship Network: Regulation and Repression in Germany Todayby Liber-netOver the past several years, investigative reporting has uncovered a range of coordinated efforts to suppress online speech in Western countries. Often described as the Censorship-Industrial Complex, these networks of information suppression (mostly operating under the guise of countering “disinformation” or “hate speech”) have been particularly widespread in the United States, United Kingdom and the European Union. In the EU, Germany plays a central role in this system, with numerous governmental and private actors monitoring online speech and urging ever-greater levels of content suppression.Germany’s reputation as a hub of censorship has grown significantly in recent years. In early 2025, a US 60 Minutes investigation drew international attention for clips of dawn apartment raids by armed police on people who had posted offensive memes. In other clips, state prosecutors chuckled at the seizure of citizens’ devices and emphasized the seriousness of the offense of “insulting” a politician.Continue readingGambling Now Underpins the Entire US Economy and Is Extremely Addictiveby Breaking Points, TEDx and ReutersThe American Gaming Association reported a 23.6% rise in sports betting in the United States in 2024, with Americans placing $147.9 billion in sports bets. Gambling releases dopamine in the brain, whether the bettor wins or loses. The suicide rate for those with a gambling addiction is 12 times higher than that of any other addiction.According to a Bureau of Labor Statistics report from 2019 to 2024, the second fastest growing sector in America in terms of gross domestic product (GDP) growth was gambling! That means that outside of AI data center GDP growth, the second largest growing thing in our economy is now gambling. Gambling companies have now overtaken motion picture revenue in terms of the amount that people are spending. It is by far the largest entertainment product now here in the United States. It emerged literally from a Supreme Court decision. There is zero oversight and it is the source of massive addiction – it is beyond corrupt!Continue reading‘ELITE’: The Palantir App ICE Uses to Find Neighborhoods to Raidby Joseph CoxPalantir is working on a tool for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that populates a map with potential deportation targets, brings up a dossier on each person, and provides a “confidence score” on the person’s current address, 404 Media has learned. ICE is using it to find locations where lots of people it might detain could be based.The findings, based on internal ICE material obtained by 404 Media, public procurement records, and recent sworn testimony from an ICE official, show the clearest link yet between the technological infrastructure Palantir is building for ICE and the agency’s activities on the ground. The tool receives peoples’ addresses from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) among a range of other sources, according to the material.Do you know anything else about this tool? Do you work at ICE, CBP, or Palantir? I would love to hear from you. Using a non-work device, you can message me securely on Signal at joseph.404 or send me an email at jo****@*********co.Continue readingExclusive: Secret ICE Programs Revealedby Ken KlippensteinOperations Benchwarmer, Tidal Wave, Abracadabra, Dust Off, Fleur De Lis — these are just a few of the secret programs recently undertaken by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. ICE has become a self appointed bouncer for America under Donald Trump, enlisting tens of thousands of federal, state, and local police and intelligence departments and agencies to not just root out “illegals,” but also exploit them for intelligence, leaked documents show.A Border Patrol official outraged by ICE’s conduct has leaked to me this and other documents providing an unprecedented glimpse into ICE’s undeclared activities across the country. Many of these operations and their codenames have not been previously reported.A 15-page long document, marked “LAW ENFORCEMENT SENSITIVE,” details 21 different “major” ICE operations resulting, so it says, in 6,852 apprehensions since June. From Operation A, a covert effort to develop informants among immigrants in detention, to Operation Benchwarmer, which alone spans the deployment of 2,000 “intelligence assets” across the country, the document gives a sense of how aggressively ICE is scouring neighborhoods and developing sources to spy on immigrants and Americans alike.Continue readingUpcoming Liberty EventsProspera World Tour – San Francisco, January 21stThe People’s Reset – Morelia, Mexico – Jan 28th-Feb 1st 2026Principled 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 BonanzaTruth Music of the WeekJude Roberts – Two Young Ravens (Live in Woodstock)Jude Roberts is one of the three members of one of my favorite music groups: The Red Pill Friends. truth He is rolling through Memphis tonight and Julie and I are excited to be having dinner with him and checking our the Blues competition on Beale Street that brought him to town.
