Reputation is everything.Except for Goldman Sachs.Goldman Sachs seems to defy reputation risk time and time again. The story of the 1MDB (Malaysian Development Berhad) scandal shows beyond much doubt, Goldman can pretty much do whatever the hell it wants. If Goldman gets caught, it enters a deferred prosecution agreement, — as was the case with 1MDB — or pays a fine and then goes on its way as if nothing happened.Continue reading”Daily News of The Week”Europe Is Silencing Its Citizens—One Jail Sentence at a Timeby europeanconservative.comOn Tuesday, May 27th, a 73-year-old Bavarian pensioner was notified that he was to start his 75-day prison sentence by June 5th. His crime? Two posts on X in which he used the phrase “Alles für Deutschland” (“Everything for Germany”), a slogan often associated with the SA, a paramilitary organisation of the Nazi party some 90 years ago. The elderly man was first sentenced to a fine, which he did not pay, claiming he did not have the financial means to do so.Germany’s speech police is now cracking down on ordinary citizens, after primarily targeting the politicians of Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), currently the most popular party in the country. One of the most recent cases was that of David Bendels, editor-in-chief for the AfD-affiliated Deutschland Kurier, who received a seven-month suspended sentence for “abuse, slander or defamation against persons in political life.” The offence? Bendels had edited and posted a meme of then interior minister Nancy Faeser, which pictured her holding a sign saying “I hate freedom of opinion.”Continue readingThe Truth about the Slaughter of White People in South Africaby SerpentZA and Adrian BonthuysStreamer Winston Sterzl, known on Youtube as Serpentza, is a white man from South Africa who grew up on his father’s small reptile zoo. He has lived in China and now lives in America. He sets the record straight about the genocide of white farmers in home country. His own family fell victim to a landowner/farm attack (video link). Winston proposed that the government is involved in the farm attacks because the perpetrators sometimes use sophisticated cell phone jamming equipment.He said that white South African people are not welcome in their European countries of origin because so many generations have passed over 400 years. White people, who comprise about 8% of the population in South Africa, are not wanted. The government uses them as scapegoats for all of their problems and failures.Continue readingFuturepedia Breaks Down Google Veo 3 – Next Generation AI Generates Video, SFX, and SpeechSummaryFuturepedia dives deep into Google’s new AI video model, Veo 3, which can generate video, sound effects, and fully lip-synced dialogue—all from a single prompt.

Starting from tomorrow, it will be illegal for businesses in the UK to sell or supply the vapes, regardless of whether they contain nicotine, and covers both in-store and online sales.But leading cardiac rehabilitation expert Dr Maxime Boidin, who conducted the world’s first controlled study into the long-term effects of vaping, says e-cigs are so harmful that the restrictions on their sales should go much further, and cover refillable vapes too.Continue readingLet’s Talk About Tetanusby Marcella Piper-TerryNote: This article is about tetanus. There is no such thing as a “tetanus shot” anymore. The manufacturers stopped making the single tetanus shot in 2012. Since that time, getting a “tetanus shot” means getting either a DTaP or Tdap, depending on the person’s age, with DTaP being the option for infants and children up to age 7 years. Tdap is the version that is given to adults and children aged 7 and up. Tdap is also the one given to pregnant women. Because we cannot talk about the “tetanus shot” without discussing DTaP and Tdap, this article presents information about the childhood and adult vaccines, focusing more on the Tdap, particularly with regard to “tetanus boosters” and Tdap given to pregnant women.“Help! My child cut herself on a piece of broken glass while washing dishes and she needs stitches. We are in the Emergency Room. They want to give her a tetanus shot. I’m scared. We don’t vaccinate, but the thought of tetanus is terrifying! What should I do???”Continue readingCanada Is Collapsing—And the Government Just Admitted Itby Mikkel ThorupThe Canadian government just published a foresight report titled Future Lives: Social Mobility in Question. It’s framed like an academic thought experiment, forecasting a hypothetical Canada in 2040 where social mobility has flatlined and inequality is cemented. But let’s be clear: this isn’t fiction.This is a confession. It’s the Canadian state quietly admitting the truth: the system is broken, the dream is dead, and they’re the ones who killed it. While you were working, saving, paying taxes, and following the rules, they were engineering your future out from under you.Here’s what the government’s own report says is coming: education is no longer a ladder. University degrees are devalued, unaffordable, and disconnected from employment, with debt and disappointment now serving as the new graduation gifts. Housing has become a caste system; if you didn’t inherit wealth, tough luck—intergenerational mortgages and renting for life are now the “new normal.” Inheritance is everything. Your last name matters more than your work ethic.Continue readingRefrigerator-sized machine makes gasoline out of thin airBy Mack DeGeurinIn 2022, transportation was responsible for an estimated 28 percent of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. The majority of those emissions came from everyday gas-powered cars. And while electric vehicles have been heralded as a greener alternative, decades of advocacy and hundreds of billions of dollars in investment have yielded meager results.Today, electric cars make up just around 8 percent of all vehicles on U.S. roads. (Roughly 90 person of vehicles globally still run on fossil fuels.) Most EVs remain prohibitively expensive for the majority of Americans, and they require enormous amounts of critical minerals—resources that, when extracted at scale, pose their own environmental dilemmas. Most Americans also still just aren’t interested in ditching their gas guzzlers to save the planet.Continue readingInsiders Admit Modern Medicine Is a Fraudby Brucha WeisbergerBS”DIf you’re still clinging to the belief that “science is self-correcting,” or that “peer review ensures quality,” or that “your doctor’s recommendations are grounded in solid science”….This article will shatter that illusion.You’re better off flipping a coin than blindly trusting what’s published in medical journals—and frankly, that’s unfair to the coin. The coin isn’t taking bribes from pharmaceutical companies.Here I’m republishing the majority of two articles by Dr. Wojak, MD. They’re fully documented, and so revealing and critically important to your health decisions that must share the information with you.First are the stunning quotes, and the details follow. The links to his originals are at the end.Dr. Wojak:Nearly everything doctors do—what they learn in medical school, what guidelines they follow, what drugs they prescribe, what procedures they perform—is based on research published in medical journals. The entire medical system is downstream from that literature. And doctors don’t verify this research themselves. They simply trust it.Continue reading’Russian bombers are burning en masse’ — Ukraine’s SBU drones hit ‘more than 40’ aircraft in mass attack, source saysby Chris YorkAn operation by Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) using first-person-view (FPV) drones smuggled deep inside Russian and hidden inside trucks has hit 41 Russian heavy bombers at four airfields across the country, a source in the agency told the Kyiv Independent on June 1.The operation — codenamed “Spiderweb” and a year-and-a-half in the planning — appears to have dealt a major blow to the aircraft Moscow uses to launch long-range missile attacks on Ukraine’s cities.”The SBU first transported FPV drones to Russia, and later, on the territory of the Russian Federation, the drones were hidden under the roofs of mobile wooden cabins, already placed on trucks,” the source said.”At the right moment, the roofs of the cabins were opened remotely, and the drones flew to hit Russian bombers.”Continue readingChatGPT exposes the whole virus hoax! An explosive bombshell! No proof viruses exist!by Jon RappoportWelcome to the world outside the Matrix.I’m going to write more than one article about this.Here I’m going to give you, verbatim, most of a conversation I had with ChatGPT, in which it lowers the boom on the virus hoax, and demonstrates exactly why no researchers have ever proved viruses exist.As you’ll see, this is much more than a claim. It’s GPT narrating chapter and verse. Exposing the whole fraud. The details.Anyone of reasonable intelligence can read this conversation and realize the huge dimensions of the con and the hustle. Even doctors.Thanks to a person who sent me his conversation about viruses with GPT, and to an old friend, Harry Blazer, who opened up my eyes to GPT’s alternative methods of answering questions—exposing Easter eggs galore.Buckle up.

Or Just More Soggy Silk?by SimpliciusUkraine has carried out a mass drone strike operation on Russian strategic bases, damaging and potentially destroying several Tu-95 strategic bombers as well as some additional Tu-22s and transport planes:The operation was reportedly planned and coordinated for over eighteen months, and thus represents the culmination of nearly two years’ worth of careful intelligence work:NEW: Ukrainian SBU’s Operation “Web” Took 1.5 Years to Prepare Ukraine’s SBU spent over 18 months planning the massive “Web” operation that struck 41 Russian strategic aircraft today. President Zelensky personally oversaw the mission, with SBU chief Vasyl Maliuk leading execution. Sources say the complex logistics involved smuggling FPV drones and mobile wooden cabins into Russia. The drones were hidden under remote-controlled roofs on trucks. When triggered, the roofs opened and kamikaze drones launched toward Russian bombers. SBU insiders stress that all operatives involved are already safely back in Ukraine. Any arrests by Russian authorities will likely be staged for domestic propaganda.Continue readingNz Medical Nazis Attack Dr. Sam Bailey Again; Let’S Put These Scum In Their Place; Boycott New Zealandby Jon RappoportThis time it’s Dr Sam Bailey ’s rejection of “evidence” that “HIV causes AIDS.” (In March, it was aboutCOVID).You can read Dr. Bailey’s description of the current “proceedings” here.The Nazis want to extort money from her for PUBLISHING her findings on HIV.

However, while the relatively benign skin cancers are caused by sun exposure, the ones responsible for most skin cancer deaths are due to a lack of sunlight.•This is unfortunate because sunlight is arguably the most important nutrient for the human body, as avoiding it doubles one’s rate of dying and significantly increases their risk of cancer. Likewise, sunlight has many critical but relatively unknown functions in health.•A strong case can be made that this dynamic was a result of the dermatology profession (with the help of a top PR firm) rebranding themselves to skin cancer fighters, something which allowed them to become one of the highest paying medical specialities in existence. Unfortunately, despite the billions that is put into fighting it each year, there has been no substantial change in the number of skin cancer deaths.Continue readingJasmine Crockett Accidentally Reveals Why Democrats Covered up Biden’s Decline – PJ Mediaby integrityright.comIn a revealing moment on CBS News’ “Eye on Politics,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) gave what may be one of the most revealing defenses yet of the Biden administration’s handling of President Biden’s cognitive decline—and ended up admitting far more than she may have intended.When asked by CBS’s Jack Fink about Republican allegations that Democrats and the White House had misled the public about Biden’s obvious mental deterioration, Crockett pivoted—hard. Instead of directly addressing the evidence millions of Americans had witnessed, she accused Republicans of crafting an “ecosystem of lies,” while conceding Democrats had, in fact, hurt themselves politically. But not because they lied—rather, because some didn’t lie enough.“I think we did hurt ourselves,” Crockett said. “I don’t think it’s for the reasons that you’re laying out, but I do think we hurt ourselves because what Democrats tend to do is the Republicans know how to create a, an ecosystem of commentary, whether it’s true or not.”Continue reading#MAHA-FDA has approved Moderna’s “next generation” mRNA shot for covid.by Sasha LatypovaClarification (June 1): There is some confusion as to whether this version of Moderna shot is “self-amplifying”. We are going to FOIA the FDA to get the exact information. At this time, the vax is described as:Moderna’s candidate, mRNA-1283, is one-fifth the dose of the first-generation Spikevax, accomplished by replicating specific regions of the virus’ protein as opposed to the entire thing. The company has said that the specific regions, the receptor-binding domain and the N-terminal domain, have shown to be critical to eliciting neutralizing antibodies.Given the statement about 1/5 of the dose and replication of specific regions, I am inclined to think it is self-replicating, but will confirm once we get better information.May 31, 2025: The FDA has approved Moderna’s next-generation self-amplifying Covid-19 vaccine. The labeling indication is consistent with the new #MAHA [zero]-evidence-based policy by Makary and Prasad, which I previously discussed here.Continue readingNz Medical Nazis Attack Dr. Sam Bailey Again; Let’S Put These Scum In Their Place; Boycott New Zealandby Jon RappoportThis time it’s Dr Sam Bailey ’s rejection of “evidence” that “HIV causes AIDS.” (In March, it was aboutCOVID).You can read Dr. Bailey’s description of the current “proceedings” here.The Nazis want to extort money from her for PUBLISHING her findings on HIV.

There is no Sars-Cov-2 and there is no COVID-19.To all those who just blew their coffee all over their computers and screamed, “COVID is real, because I’ve had it!”, I have just one thing to say:No you haven’t.You had the flu, perhaps even pneumonia, just like hundreds of millions of people do each and every year. That garbage PCR test that told you had ‘COVID-19’ is non-specific rot steeped in controversy. It told people with the flu they instead had ‘COVID’, which is why influenza inexplicably near-disappeared in 2020.I know what I’m saying is hard to fathom for some.It means everything Planet Psycho experienced over the last 3.5 years was completely unnecessary. The destroyed lives, the ruined businesses and careers, the suicides, the egregious human rights abrogations, the gratuitous state-sanctioned violence against innocent people who just wanted to live like it was 2018, the lockdowns, the untold mental distress, the propaganda, the masks, the travel bans, the truly disgusting and disturbing hatred and harassment of dissenters, and of course, the intense pressure to be injected with deadly drugs made by confirmed criminal corporations like Pfizer, AstraZeneca and J&J.Continue readingCalifornia Developer Builds First Neighborhood Where All the Homes Are Resistant to WildfiresBy Andy Corbley, goodnewsnetwork.orgOne of the nation’s largest homebuilders have created a community of entirely wildfire-resilient homes to help reduce homebuyers’ risks of loss if another Palisades or Dixie fire comes roaring by.With nothing flammable on the exterior or the roofs and curated desert foliage around the gardens and lawns, the homes aren’t necessarily fireproof, but the design of the entire community was informed by identifying and eliminating the most common causes of homes catching fire.Available now, and with some already off the market, KB Homes estimates their price at around $1 million, a price consistent with disaster-proof housing around the country.The Eaton and Palisades fires struck with little warning and launched embers across highways and valleys setting multiple communities ablaze. The rising risk of wildfires in the rural areas of Southern California comes with rising insurance premiums, which result in rising rents, higher mortgages, etc.Continue readingU.S. Home Sellers Are Sitting on Nearly $700 Billion Worth of Listings, an All-Time Highby Dana Anderson, redfin.comMore than $330 billion worth of listings have been sitting on the market for 60 days or longer. Rising inventory and slow homebuying demand is pushing up the total dollar amount of home listings, and will push down home-sale prices by the end of the year.There’s a total of $698 billion worth of homes for sale in the U.S., up 20.3% from a year ago and the highest dollar amount ever.This is based on an analysis of listings on Redfin.com going back through 2012. For the total dollar value of all inventory on the market, we sum up the list price of all active U.S. listings as of the last day of each month; April 2025 is the most recent month for which data is available. For the purposes of this report, the term “value” is interchangeable with “list price”; i.e., when we refer to “total home value,” we mean the sum of all list prices. We define “stale inventory” as home listings that spend at least 60 days on the market and are actively listed for sale on the final day of the relevant month. Please see the end of this report for more on methodology.Continue readingTrump’s Palantir-Powered Surveillance Is Turning America Into a Digital Prisonby John & Nisha Whitehead, www.rutherford.orgCall it what it is: a panopticon presidency.President Trump’s plan to fuse government power with private surveillance tech to build a centralized, national citizen database is the final step in transforming America from a constitutional republic into a digital dictatorship armed with algorithms and powered by unaccountable, all-seeing artificial intelligence.This isn’t about national security. It’s about control.According to news reports, the Trump administration is quietly collaborating with Palantir Technologies—the data-mining behemoth co-founded by billionaire Peter Thiel—to construct a centralized, government-wide surveillance system that would consolidate biometric, behavioral, and geolocation data into a single, weaponized database of Americans’ private information.Continue readingSimplicius’ Ukraine Sit Rep: Ukraine ‘Burns Bridge’ of Peace Talks With New Round of Provocationsby SimpliciusToday Ukraine made another major attempt at taking down the Kerch bridge, resulting in its most miserable failure so far.I’m no structural engineer, but Ukraine claimed to have ‘damaged’ an underwater piling that’s critical to one of the Kerch’s main spans:The attack featured several waves of drones, the first of which tried to bypass Russian perimeter defenses in the form of water barriers by blowing them up. There is some dispute over what ‘object’ Ukraine actually hit the bridge with: Ukraine claims they spent months secretly delivering 1,000kg+ of explosives to the bottom of the piling, while some Russian sources claim this is a lie and that the bridge was hit with another garden variety sea drone, though it is not visible in the footage above. Other sources like Oleg Tsarev yet say the new Ukrainian underwater Toloka drone was used, shown here:Continue readingThe Clone Wars Have Already Begunby Joshua StylmanYour voice can be stolen to fool your family into thinking you said things you never did. Your face can be perfectly faked. Your digital identity can be cloned, predicted, and replaced. This isn’t science fiction—it’s documented reality.This past weekend, the President just “re-truthed” a post claiming his predecessor was executed in 2020 and replaced by a clone. While Donald Trump himself has questioned Joe Biden’s cognitive state and the legitimacy of documents signed by autopen, by sharing this clone theory without comment to his nearly 10 million followers, he amplified a much more extreme claim. Whether Trump is trolling, stoking conspiracy theories, or perhaps knows something the rest of us don’t is impossible to determine—what matters is understanding the technological capabilities that make such scenarios possible in the first place.Continue readingAI Kill and Control System by PalantirContinue reading…Number Of Zombie Properties Increase In 30 US Statesby Tyler DurdenThe number of zombie homes – vacant properties abandoned by owners during the foreclosure process – rose in 30 U.S. states and the District of Columbia in the second quarter of this year from the previous quarter, real estate data analytics company ATTOM said in a May 29 statement.Zombie homes, which can fall into disrepair and negatively impact the value of other properties in the neighborhood, are a sign of distress in the housing market and the broader economy.As Naveen Athrappully reports for The Epoch Times, among states with at least 50 zombie homes, North Carolina saw the largest percentage increase in these properties year-over-year, with their numbers rising by 52.5 percent during this period.This was followed by Iowa and Texas, both seeing an over 50 percent jump in zombie properties. South Carolina and Kansas were the next on the list.Continue readingAmazon ‘testing humanoid robots to deliver packages’by theguardian.comAmazon is reportedly developing software for humanoid robots that could perform the role of delivery workers and “spring out” of its vans.The $2tn (£1.47tn) technology company is building a “humanoid park” in the US to test the robots, said the tech news site the Information, citing a person who had been involved in the project.Continue reading…How to Find Hidden Cameras in Any Place You Stayby Jen McCaffery, Brooke Nelson AlexanderWhat to do if you find a hidden camera©rd.com, Getty Images (2)If you find a hidden camera or see something suspicious, Koblitz recommends immediately leaving the place you are staying and reporting what you found to the hotel, booking agency, or Airbnb customer service.

Fifty-five of the approved drugs met only one of those four standards, and 39 met none of them.Continue readingRETRACTION: Japan Declares a State of Emergency and Issues an Apology after Finding Pfizer and Moderna Covid “Vaccines” Contain “Nanobots” Found in 96 Million Citizensby Dr Margaret ArandaRETRACTION: Etienne Note: This guest post by a guest editor has been retracted since the source is The People’s Voice.

Meanwhile, crude oil usage resurged in the early 2010s after years of contraction, peaking in 2024 at 27.5 quadrillion BTUs.Renewables such as wind and solar, though still relatively small in absolute terms, have shown consistent growth since 2005. Wind reached 1.5 quadrillion BTUs by 2024, while solar grew from virtually zero to 1.1 quadrillion BTU.Continue readingLibertarian Purity Test Debunked!by theadvocates.orgEver been told you’re not “really” a libertarian?

Brazil’s JBS (the company that cleared the Amazon to grow cows) is probably the most corrupt, and is about to be listed on the NYSEby Meryl Nass99% of beef is processed in USDA-inspected slaughterhouses, in order to qualify for interstate sales — and 85% of this meat is purchased from ranchers and processed by only 4 companies, including JBS. The ranchers don’t have a chance against this cartel. They are paid low prices, while the margins for the processors get bigger. That is the main reason why median incomes of all US ranchers from farming were negative last year.And USDA estimated that the US imported 12.4 lbs of beef per person last year! We exported 7.4 lbs pp.Farmers have to support their farming “hobby” with outside income. How crazy is that?Meantime, JBS wants US investment funds to take over the rest of the US meat industry and go from cartel to monopoly. Will it happen? Consider complaining.

I published a funny Friday video of police accountability activist and YouTuber James Freeman going to a City Hall to investigate organized crime activity.

Drs. Sam & Mark Bailey Interview Etienne de la Boetie2
We talk about To See the Cage is to Leave It & The Scam of “Government”Drs. Sam and Mark Bailey became famous during “The Covid” by becoming some of the first classically trained doctors to begin challenging the official narrative effectively on social media. The Baileys have amassed over 350,000 subscribers and 18 million views on YouTube. While Dr. Samantha Bailey, took the lead on getting the truth to the public through her well-researched and referenced videos and website: drsambailey.com, husband Dr Mark J. Bailey, MB ChB, PGDipMSM, MHealSc produced one of the most devastating critiques of both the official version of “The Covid” and virology in general in his masterwork: A Farewell to Virology, which I referenced in my investigation Solving Covid – The Covid 19 Eugenics, Vaccine/Drug Scam Timeline. Both Baileys recently collaborated on The Final Pandemic: An Antidote to Medical Tyranny which breaks down the myths around virology and provides solutions for resisisting the next “pandemic.”We are making the video available for both paid and free subscribers.

The latest book, by Art of Liberty Foundation founder Etienne de la Boetie2, exposes that the government and Hollywood have been running a multi-generational, trillion-dollar psychological operation on the population to indoctrinate them into accepting a ruling class, confiscatory taxation, and inflationary fractional reserve currency issued by private banks.The book details 25 unethically manipulative techniques the “government” and monopoly media have been secretly using on the population, ranging from a hidden curriculum in their mandatory schools and scouting to the secret placement of propaganda in over 1,000+ movies and 1,000+ television shows. These techniques include subliminal messages and product placement of the American flag “anchored” to moments of high-positive emotion during the “programming”.Technique #1 is mandatory government schools running the Prussian model of education to indoctrinate children that “government” is legitimate, desirable and necessary before they are old enough to evaluate the logic and morality of that assertion.The goal of the program has been to get free and independent human beings to self-identify as “Americans” (or “Canadians,” “Russians,” Israelis, etc. as every “government” is, essentially, running the same playbook) and be tricked into a pseudo-religion calledStatism, the belief in having a “government,” using what can only be called classic, textbook “cult-indoctrination techniques.”Continue reading…Videos of the WeekSchool Choice: Competition Finally Comes to Education, Upsetting Teacher Unions and Bureaucrats17 states now offer universal school choice, letting families choose schools that work better for their kidsThe school choice movement has gained ground!17 states now offer universal school choice, letting families choose schools that work better for their kids. John Stossel breaks it down!Playing with Fire: A Mises Institute Film on the Federal Reserveby Mises InstituteThe Fed Isn’t Saving the Economy—It’s Sabotaging ItThe Federal Reserve is an arsonist posing as a firefighter. During a financial crisis, the Fed arrives on the scene with a hose hooked up to its own spigot of unlimited money. The financial sector cheers on their heroes for rescuing their balance sheets from the fire and financial journalists begin drafting their hagiographies of the Fed chair for his “courage.”In Playing with Fire: Money, Banking, and the Federal Reserve, the Mises Institute dispels these myths about the Fed. The documentary shows that far from being the hero of the story, the Fed is the villain.Despite their sophisticated economic models and platitudes about the Fed’s independence, the dual mandate, and the need to “balance risks,” the Fedfailed to predict major crises, even ones of their own makingContinue reading”Government”, Media and AcademiaCriminality ExposedDon Jr.’s Gold Rushby Kara Kennedy, thespectator.com/Etienne Note: This article 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.

After a number of delays and missed deadlines, the company seems ready to bring the widebody variant of the 777 onto the market in 2026, and the plane’s engine supplier, GE Aerospace, is on board with that as well.The 777X is described by Boeing as “the world’s largest and most efficient twin-engine jet,” and there are several reasons behind that claim.The plane will be available in three versions, namely 777-8, 777-8 Freighter, and 777-9. The entry-level 777-8, if it can be called that, excels in terms of range, as it can travel a distance of over 10,000 miles (16,190 km), while the 777-9 brings to the table a simple massive passenger capacity: 426 passengers.Continue readingThe Trump Administration Leaned on African Countries.

The ship’s masts were 158ft tall, while the Brooklyn Bridge has a 135 foot clearance.*Approximately 20 people were injured when a Mexican navy ship carrying at least 200 people collided with the Brooklyn Bridge Saturday night, snapping its three masts and sending crew members flying through the air – with some left swinging in harnesses for ‘at least like 15 minutes’ according to an eyewitness.The vessel, the Cuauhtémoc, is a sail training vessel that was about to leave New York for a goodwill tour to Iceland when the incident occurred.

Wells naturalnews.comEver eat too quickly and get an upset stomach? In America, a meal served to one person at the average restaurant could feed a whole family. Your stomach is about the size of your fist and only meant to work on a limited amount of food at a time, but millions of people eat too much food in one sitting and much too quickly.Now science and medicine are revealing that eating a meal in less than 5 minutes can do long-term damage to your liver. This is happening quite frequently in our “rush hour” all day world, where people rush through their meals on the go, during work breaks, and when they’re “starving” for more junk science food stuff that they’re addicted to, thanks to excitotoxins in foods. Let’s take an inside look at the science behind Steatotic Liver Disease that’s sweeping the country, and what to do about it.Continue readingThe Remarkable Secrets of CoconutsBy Donald ShawEtienne Note: This article 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 aircraft uses 14 fans embedded within its airframe—five in each main wing and two in each forward canard—to enable vertical takeoff and landing.Horizon Aircraft developed a patented mechanism that cleverly allows the wing surfaces to slide open, exposing the battery-powered lift fans during vertical flight. As the aircraft transitions to forward flight, the wing surfaces close, turning it into a conventional fixed-wing aircraft powered by a gas turbine engine driving a rear push-propeller.Continue readingUnderwater jetpack powers free-diving adventures for longerBy Ben CoxworthWhile we’ve seen a number of wearable underwater propulsion systems, they’ve typically been strapped to the user’s arms or legs. The newly refreshed CudaJet is different, in that it’s a true backpack-style underwater jetpack.Editor’s note: Readers often ask us for follow-ups on memorable stories. What has happened to this story over the years? This article was originally published in 2023 but has been re-edited and updated with new information current as of May, 2025. Enjoy!We first heard about the device almost seven years ago, when it was a prototype called the Cuda.It was developed by British underwater enthusiast Archie O’Brien while he was in his final year at Loughborough Design School. Among other things, he wanted to create a system that was lighter and faster than existing products. The CudaJet launched in 2023 as the commercial version of what he envisioned.Continue readingTexas House Passes Bill Allowing Lawsuits Against Vaccine Manufacturers for Harmful Advertising: HB 3441by Jon FleetwoodIn a major victory for accountability and informed consent, the Texas House of Representatives passed HB 3441 yesterday, a bill that would allow Texans to sue vaccine manufacturers whose advertising leads to injury or harm.The unprecedented move comes as CDC data show there have been an alarming 2,665,796 adverse events linked to vaccines since 1990, the vast majority related to COVID-19 jabs.But if fewer than 1% of adverse events are reported—as a 2010 HHS-funded Harvard analysis confirms—the real number could exceed 266 million, or roughly 7.6 million per year, or 20,800 per day.Follow Jon Fleetwood: Instagram @realjonfleetwood / Twitter @JonMFleetwoodFirst filed in February, the new bill passed yesterday by a vote of 88–31, moving the legislation one step closer to becoming law.Continue readingNew AI data centers will use the same electricity as 2 million homesBy Jo NovaSince 2022, AI -related firms have stormed the S&P 500 market — growing by $12 trillion dollars.The IEA just posted a whole report dedicated to AI. The demand from data-centers is so large in some places it is already rivaling the kind of monster consumption we are used to seeing from aluminum smelters. There are six states in the United States where data centers already consume over 10% of the electricity supply. In Ireland, data centers swallow about 20% of the electricity.Currently, a normal data center consumes the same amount of electricity as 100,000 houses. But the new gargantuan data centers under construction will consume 20 times as much — equivalent to adding 2 million homes to the grid.Data centers of the world are not spread evenly. In Virginia, the largest conglomeration of industrial data, their demand for power pulls in a quarter of the state’s electricity.Continue reading”They Want War” – Martin Armstrong Slams European Leaders Reinstating Military Draftsby Tyler DurdenLegendary financial and geopolitical cycle analyst Martin Armstrong is back with an update on his big turn toward war in Ukraine with Russia.Two weeks ago on USAW, Armstrong predicted, “After May 15, war is turning up (in Ukraine) and it will be turning up into 2026.”That prediction paid off to the exact day as peace talks between Russia and Ukraine ended on May 15 after just two hours, and neither side agreed to meet again.War is already here, and there is no stopping it with peace talks. Armstrong says, “Putin knows and understands this is not a just a war with Ukraine, this is a war with NATO…””If Putin agrees to a 30-day ceasefire with Ukraine, what’s that going to do? Absolutely nothing.You have every European country reinstituting drafts. In Germany, even people 60 years old have been told to report. Poland has ordered every able-bodied man to show up for military training. They want war. Their economy is collapsing. You hear about this de-dollarization, and it’s not happening. The capitalization of just the New York Stock Exchange is worth more than all of Europe combined. That’s just the New York Stock Exchange…Continue readingAlarming Graph Reveals US Beef Industry Is “Hijacked By Chemical Pushers”by Tyler DurdenThe “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) movement is gaining steam as a disruptive force in helping to rescue the nation’s deteriorating food supply chain and public health. It marks a clear inflection point from decades of dependency on ultra-processed foods and pharmaceutical giants profiting from Americans’ imploding health over the last half-century.Last week, Goldman Sachs analysts highlighted a decisive shift in consumer behavior, with shoppers increasingly favoring cleaner, “better-for-you” food options. Even Bloomberg has begun to acknowledge MAHA’s rising impact.At its core, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s movement aims to revive the nation’s health by restoring integrity to the food supply chain—prioritizing cleaner food with fewer chemicals and less industrial farming while reducing reliance on the pharmaceutical industry’s profit-driven approach to managing chronic disease. It turns out that cleaner food and regular exercise may be all it takes to help cure a nation of its sickness. Not Ozempic.Continue readingThe Hidden Dangers of Black PlasticBy Tracy Beanz & Michelle EdwardsPlastic pollution has become one of the most critical environmental issues of our lifetime, contributing to numerous human health concerns. In addition to microplastics, one of the most disturbing types of plastic is black plastic, commonly used in food packaging, electronics, and household items. Even though it might seem like just another type of plastic that, for example, carries to-go food, black plastic has other serious hidden dangers, as it is often made from recycled electronic waste (e-waste) that originates from discarded electronic devices such as computers, televisions, and cables. Even worse, it often contains dangerous flame retardants. All of humanity should be extremely concerned about its widespread use.As mentioned, black plastic is frequently made from recycled materials and is pigmented with carbon black to achieve its dark color. Most commonly used to color and reinforce automobile tires, carbon black is a material produced by the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbon fuels like coal tar and petroleum products, including oil and natural gas, resulting in a fine black powder consisting of tiny carbon particles. Essentially, it is a form of soot.Continue readingCongress Will Vote to Strip States of Their Power to Regulate Artificial Intelligence—for the Next 10 Yearsby Jon FleetwoodBuried deep in Congress’s 1,116-page “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” is a provision so sweeping, so dystopian, and so underreported that it’s hard to believe it was passed out of a committee.Section 43201 of the bill, blandly titled the “Artificial Intelligence and Information Technology Modernization Initiative,” doesn’t just fund the federal government’s full-scale AI expansion—it removes every state’s right to regulate artificial intelligence for the next decade.Let that sink in: For the next ten years, no state in America—not even your state—will be allowed to create its own safeguards, protections, or liability standards for how AI is developed or deployed.“No State or political subdivision thereof may enforce any law or regulation regulating artificial intelligence models… during the 10-year period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act.”—Sec. 43201(c)(1) of the billContinue readingTrump’s Bill Cuts Medicare, Gives to Pentagon. Rep. Massie Says Bill Adds $20 TRILLION to the Debtby Jimmy Dore, NBC, CNN, Thomas Massie and The TelegraphRepublicans can only afford to have three members vote ‘no’ to stop Trump’s “big, beautiful bill.” Representative Thomas Massie said that he is opposed to the bill that adds $20 trillion to the debt over 10 years. He said, “I don’t think he [Mr Trump] wants to talk about cutting spending.”Trump emphasized that he does not want Medicare touched, and said that only waste, fraud and abuse would be cut. Representative Ted Lieu observed, “I don’t think the President has read the bill. He said ‘Don’t F around with Medicaid.’ The bulk of their bill messes around with Medicaid.”Meanwhile, zero cuts were made to the Pentagon, instead, about $10 billion was funneled into it.About 80 million Americans get Medicare and 70 million get Medicaid. Analysis from the congressional budget office shows that 7.6 million people would lose their Medicaid coverage if the current House proposal becomes law. 63% of nursing home care is funded by Medicaid. The bill would also cut 3 million people from the SNAP food stamps program.Continue readingNew AI data centers will use the same electricity as 2 million homesBy Jo NovaSince 2022, AI -related firms have stormed the S&P 500 market — growing by $12 trillion dollars.The IEA just posted a whole report dedicated to AI. The demand from data-centers is so large in some places it is already rivaling the kind of monster consumption we are used to seeing from aluminum smelters. There are six states in the United States where data centers already consume over 10% of the electricity supply. In Ireland, data centers swallow about 20% of the electricity.Currently, a normal data center consumes the same amount of electricity as 100,000 houses. But the new gargantuan data centers under construction will consume 20 times as much — equivalent to adding 2 million homes to the grid.Data centers of the world are not spread evenly. In Virginia, the largest conglomeration of industrial data, their demand for power pulls in a quarter of the state’s electricity.Continue readingBREAKING: HHS to END COVID-19 Vaccine Recommendations for Kids & Pregnant Womenby Nicolas Hulscher, MPHAccording to the Wall Street Journal, the Trump administration—under the leadership of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—is preparing to end routine CDC recommendations that pregnant women, teenagers, and children receive COVID-19 vaccines. This decision, expected to be announced in the coming days, represents a long-overdue departure from current ill-advised CDC guidance, which still urges vaccination for everyone aged six months and older, including during pregnancy.This is a critical first step—but the work is far from over.We must continue pressing for the removal of all COVID-19 vaccine recommendations. No one is spared from the deadly effects of these injections. Healthy young adults, seniors, athletes, mothers, and children alike have suffered devastating injuries—many of them irreversible. A truly ethical public health system does not tolerate collateral damage in exchange for failed mass vaccination strategies. It’s time to stop pretending these shots are safe and effective for anyone.Continue readingMapping the entire field of autism causation studies in one articleby Toby RogersIt seems to me that the proper way to understand the autism epidemic is to read everything that has been written on autism causation, throw out any studies that are characterized by a financial conflict of interest or fatally flawed study design, and see what patterns emerge from the papers that are left. During my doctoral thesis I reviewed about 80 of the top studies in autism epidemiology and toxicology. That was groundbreaking at the time because the vast majority of mainstream scholars don’t have the courage to discuss any papers that threaten the profits of powerful industries.Continue reading…Expert Reveals a Drug-Free Way to Mimic The Effects of OzempicBy Donna HancockThe school choice movement has gained ground!17 states now offer universal school choice, letting families choose schools that work better for their kids.Continue reading…Upcoming Liberty EventsEtienne de la Boetie2 on Jeff Rense Radio – Listen HERE – Friday Night at 9:00 PM EST / 6:00 PM PSTThe Free Cities Online Summit 2025 – Online, May 26-30, 2025BARNUM WORLD Premiere – Pollack Cinemas, Tempe, AZ – May 31, 7:00 PMInfinita City – Crypto Cities Build Month – June 1st-30th – Próspera Zone, Roatan (Honduras)Rothbard Graduate Seminar 2025 – June 8th-13th, 2025 – EventPorcupine Freedom Festival – June 16th-22nd – Lancaster, NHMises University 2025 – July 20th-26th, 2025 – EventMidwest Peace and Liberty Festival – July 24th – 27th – Gregory, MIAnarcon – Sept 26th-28th – Gore, VAMises Institute Supporters Summit 2025 – October 16th-18th, 2025 – Even’s LibertyFree Cities Conference: Returning to Prague – October 31st to November 2nd, 2025 – EventMemes BonanzaTruth Music of the WeekThey Don’t Care About Us – DISL AutomaticAnother tune from the Truth Music folder in our Flash Drive O’ Freedom: The Liberator.

To See the Cage is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many
New Book Exposes Trillion Dollar Government & Hollywood Psychological OperationThe Art of Liberty Foundation, a start-up voluntaryist public policy foundation, announces a new book, To See the Cage is to Leave It—25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many. The latest book, by Art of Liberty Foundation founder Etienne de la Boetie2, exposes that the government and Hollywood have been running a multi-generational, trillion-dollar psychological operation on the population to indoctrinate them into accepting a ruling class, confiscatory taxation, and inflationary fractional reserve currency issued by private banks. The book details 25 unethically manipulative techniques the “government” and monopoly media have been secretly using on the population, ranging from a hidden curriculum in their mandatory schools and scouting to the secret placement of propaganda in over 1,000+ movies and 1,000+ television shows. These techniques include subliminal messages and product placement of the American flag “anchored” to moments of high-positive emotion during the “programming”. Technique #1 is mandatory government schools running the Prussian model of education to indoctrinate children that “government” is legitimate, desirable and necessary before they are old enough to evaluate the logic and morality of that assertion. The goal of the program has been to get free and independent human beings to self-identify as “Americans” (or “Canadians,” “Russians,” Israelis, etc. as every “government” is, essentially, running the same playbook) and be tricked into a pseudo-religion calledStatism, the belief in having a “government,” using what can only be called classic, textbook “cult-indoctrination techniques.” Statism is the completely indoctrinated belief in the legitimacy, desirability and necessity of having a “government” even though there is no ironclad law of the universe that “government” is legitimate, desirable or necessary. The book posits that there is an inter-generational organized crime system centered around banking and central-banking that has been controlling the information the public receives about the legitimacy, desirability and necessity of “government” using mandatory schools and monopoly media to “legalize” fractional reserve banking and trillions of dollars in “bailouts” and “stimulus” that is handed to the controllers even though the system is inherently unfair, inflationary, and secretly stealing the value from everyone else’s money. This organized crime system has been using the exact same techniques used by disingenuous religions and cults to trick the population into a worldview where they are easily robbed, controlled, and trapped in a no-win game of rigged elections where the same interests secretly own both parties. The book includes multiple videos exposing the techniques that can be clicked-to-play in the ePub version and QR codes that can be scanned while reading the physical book to bring up the companion material. The award-winning documentary Theatres of War exposes the Department of Defense and intelligence agency involvement in more than 1,000 movies and 1,000 television shows. Click Image Above or Scan QR Code to Watch Short 1:51 Trailer.This short 8:32 example video shows how the American flag was “product-placed” an astonishing 469 times in just twelve Michael Bay movies, including Bad Boys, Armageddon, and multiple Transformers movies, as an example of one of the techniques covered in the book. Click the image above or scan the QR code to watch. The book also exposes a dozen+ sub-techniques used on Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Police and Military to indoctrinate obedience to hierarchical command and control and, ultimately, to get the police and military to set their morality aside and use violence on peaceful people for the “church leadership” of the indoctrinated cult. During “basic training,” military recruits are forced to undergo a variety of unethically manipulative techniques, including verbal and physical abuse, excessive stress, degradation and humiliation, sleep deprivation, isolation and the artificial conformity of the uni-form (single form) and shaved heads replacing individual physical appearance with a group appearance further reinforcing the artificially created group dynamic. The services are notorious for inciting peer pressure and collective punishment, including “blanket parties” where the non-conforming are beaten with improvised flails (soap bars or locks in a towel/sock). The Marines take the doors off the stalls in the bathroom so recruits can’t have even a moment of privacy to reflect on what is being done to them or the fact that they are committing to murder whoever the church leadership tells them to. They are injected with debilitating “vaccines” and forced to sing march cadences that normalize murder, among other techniques.Some of these techniques used in government-affiliated youth programs, including the Young Marines, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Explorers, and JROTC include the uniform (Single Form) and head-shaving, which replaces an individual’s appearance with an artificial, psychologically-reinforcing group appearance. Hare Krishnas, Rajneeshpuram members, Heaven’s Gate, Jim Jones’s People’s Temple Members, and Unification Church Members (Moonies) are other organizations that asked adherents to suspend individuality and shave their heads and/or assume the uni-form. Another technique exposed by the book is that the monopoly media has been using trick photography to give the “President” and “Church Leadership” the appearance of holiness through subliminal halos and/or photographing them in front of religious iconography. The Artificially Indoctrinated Holy Symbol of the American Flag is Manipulatively Woven Into the Burial Ceremony of the Deceased – A trick to get the participants to associate the memory of their beloved deceased with the flag, even though it is the policies of the ”church leadership” that are frequently responsible for their deaths.Paid-For Flag Worship Woven Into Stadium Events and Sports – Weaving flag worship ceremonies into stadium events is another type of unethically manipulative product placement of the flag and “Anchoring” technique. Everyone loves a football or baseball game, so the organized crime system pays teams, previously as much as $53 million a year, to add flag-worshipping events and military jet flyovers to important games to “anchor” the excitement and good times of an outdoor event to the flag and ”government.” The fact that the US “government” is paying the teams to participate proves it is artificial.Interestingly, the book breaks down the idolatry of Statism, where the hidden curriculum of the mandatory government schools, monopoly media, scouting, and police/military training circumvents the objective morality of the Judeo-Christian tradition with the subjective morality of indoctrinated Statism. This is a page from To See the Cage Is to Leave It exposing technique #20, where middle school children are taken to “Mecca” (Washington, DC), where they are taken to the “Cathedral” of the Capital (that looks like the Vatican… for a Reason!), and the “Temples” (Monuments”) where they are shown the “Deities” (Lincoln, Washington), where the environment is kept artificially hushed and reverent. They will be shown the “Holy Document” of the Con-stitution, which is kept preserved in helium under bullet-proof glass similar to other religious relics, in an atmosphere reminiscent of a church or cathedral. The book has a good news message: We don’t really need “government!” Everything the “government” does would be done better, faster, and cheaper by the free market without the waste, fraud, abuse, extortion, and unethically manipulative indoctrination. The book is dedicated to all the good people working for the “government” in the bureaucracy, police and military and features specific tips for helping to reduce the harm the “government” is causing in the world. The book breaks down how the military, especially, is NOT bound by the oath they took because of a well-recognized legal precedent known as fraudulent inducement. Because the organized crime “government” lied to the population about the legitimacy, desirability and necessity of “government”, used unethically manipulative indoctrination and propaganda techniques in mandatory schools and through monopoly media, and because “government” is illegitimate, illogical and immoral on its face, the military is not bound by the oath they took because there was “fraud in the inducement.”To See the Cage Is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many is available in a high-resolution hard cover version for $40, paperback for $19.84, and ePub for $7.77 at SeeTheCage.com There are five & ten copy “friends bundles” for spreading the word, and a $40 bundle with Etienne’s previous book “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed! which offers a deeper dive into who is behind the program, the monopolization of the media.

Study: COVID-19 mRNA Shots Destroy Over 60% of Women’s Non-Renewable Egg SupplyDear Subscribers,I am doing something that I don’t think I have ever done before… I am repeating our lead story and the two videos from last week for a couple of reasons:I think there might be some in the audience who simply didn’t believe the headline and sub-headline. Obviously, if the FBI and Delta Force had really murdered 80 men, women and children by setting a church on fire and machine gunning anyone trying to escape then it would have made the nightly news and everyone in the country would know about it… Right… That is why why you need to watch the documentaries if you haven’t already… YES… The government and monopoly media are that evil and corrupt… and if you don’t know it then you are at a disadvantage…I was late sending Five Meme Friday so I know a lot of folks simply couldn’t watch during the week or it got lost in the shuffle… Now you have the weekend!

Murrah Building after the Oklahoma City Bombing. The official story is that a truck with thirteen 55-gallon drums of homemade ammonia fertilizer and fuel oil explosive, parked roughly where the red box is, did all the damage to the building. The reality is that a homemade fertilizer bomb of that size doesn’t pack enough punch to do the damage shown, AND the debris field shows explosives in the building have ejected building material into the parking lot, vs. if it were just the truck bomb outside, the debris would have been blown INTO the building. The governor of OK and multiple news agencies reported other bombs found in the building on Day 1 and 20+ witnesses reported hearing more explosions.Last month was the 30th anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing of 1995, where, according to the “government” and monopoly media, a federal building in Oklahoma City was bombed by a white supremacist named Tim McVeigh, acting alone, who parked the bomb next to the building’s day care center. If you have ever heard me tell the story in interviews, the Oklahoma City bombing was the event that “woke me up” to the criminality of the organized crime “government.”I was a researcher working at one of the “Big 4” think tanks in Washington, DC, at the time, and I had a $ 3,000-per-month LexisNexis terminal, which allowed me to access any article published in any newspaper, magazine, or other periodical. I quickly realized the story the monopoly MainStreamMedia was telling was very different from what was coming from the local Oklahoma media and alternative media. I initiated my own investigation into the bombing, utilizing all the resources at my disposal at one of the world’s top think tanks. I quickly realized that the ATF and the FBI were the primary suspects in blowing up a day care center in the federal building.You Can’t Understand the Oklahoma City Bombing without Understanding the Waco Massacre and Ruby RidgeWhy Would the “Government” Blow Up a Day Care Center in a Federal Building?A: To squash a Constitutional militia movement that developed after the Waco Massacre and the siege at Ruby Ridge a few years before. A large section of the population had figured out that the “government” was criminally lawless, murderous, out-of-control, and their crimes were being covered up by a monopolized media system that was whitewashing government criminality, including the premeditated murder of dozens of women and children on almost every single channel.Continue reading…Bonus For Subscribers to Our House E-mail List: Since the story is behind the Paywall on Substack and this version of our newsletter goes to our house list e-mail, I am going to share a printable, faxable, emailable version of the ENTIRE article.

[1]Such notions are not entirely new, of course, and the two Scots authors give due credit to Professors Antony Sutton (Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler) and Guido Preparata (Conjuring Hitler: How Britain and America Made the Third Reich).But the strength of their newly-published work, and the reason why it stretches to 700 pages, lies in their careful construction of the historical context, enabling us to see exactly who was behind the Hitler manoeuvre and how it was carried out as part of a long-term plan.Continue readingThe Microschool Revolution Is Just Getting Startedby Michael Bindas and Erica Smith EwingForget apples—this Teacher Appreciation Week, how about giving educators something they can actually use: freedom. Florida did this with a 2024 law that opened the door for educational innovation by easing zoning and land-use restrictions on microschools, making it easier for alternative learning models to flourish outside the traditional system.Following the passage of House Bill 1285, veteran educator Alison Rini repurposed a vacant day care center in the middle of a government housing project in Sarasota, Florida, and opened a microschool. A microschool generally refers to elementary, middle, or high school programs that are tiny by design, averaging just 16 students each.Parents at Rini’s school previously sent their children on a seven-mile bus ride to the nearest public school. But now they can enroll their kindergartners in a neighborhood program just steps from home. Rini is still a teacher, but she is also her own boss.Continue readingWhat Lies Beneath—Congressman Reveals Secret Tunnels Underneath the US CapitolBy Bob HogeThere are many secrets in the U.S. Capitol. There have been smoky back-room deals, cloak-and-dagger subterfuge as politicians jostle for power, and endless horse trading as congresscritters try to get their own pet projects funded.But did you know there were secret tunnels beneath the marbled floors? North Carolina GOP Rep. Tim Moore does, and he decided to give the public a little tour of what he found:The Lincoln Room is one of my favorite spots to bring visitors — when President Lincoln was serving in the House, he sat by the fireplace in this room to read his letters, but the most interesting part of the room is underneath the floorboards.Who knows what other secrets the building holds, considering it is almost 200 years old?”Construction started in the 1700s and there are all sorts of little hidden passageways. As you saw, I just pulled this cover up, and you can see,” Moore said in a video posted to his official congressional X account on Friday, showing a secret door in the floor of the Capitol.Continue readingMapped: The Income Needed to Buy a Home in Every U.S. StateBy Bruno Venditti Graphics/Design: Amy KuoThis was originally posted on our Voronoi app. Download the app for free on iOS or Android and discover incredible data-driven charts from a variety of trusted sources.As home prices continue to climb and mortgage rates remain elevated, buying a home in the U.S. has become increasingly out of reach for the average household.In 2025, buyers now need six-figure salaries to afford a median-priced home in all but 15 states.This visualization, using data from Realtor.com, maps the annual income required to purchase a typical three-bedroom home in every state, based on a 10% down payment, a 6.65% interest rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage, and a 30% income-to-housing cost threshold (which includes taxes and insurance).A recent study found that nearly 50% of U.S. households cannot afford a home priced at $250,000. This is particularly concerning when the median price of a new single-family home nationwide has reached $495,750, according to the National Association of Home Builders.Continue readingThe Forgotten History of Neurological Vaccine Injuriesby A Midwestern DoctorStory at a Glance:•One of the most frequent complications of vaccination is neurological injury, and ever since the smallpox vaccine hit the market over two centuries ago, severe and unusual injuries have been reported throughout the medical literature.•Rather than disclose these injuries to the public, the medical profession chose to conceal them under the erroneous belief that the public good of vaccination justified hiding anything which would create vaccine hesitancy—a cruel mentality that is still used to push unsafe and ineffective vaccines.•Many of those injuries such as a spreading paralysis of the body mirror the “one in a million” injuries we still see from vaccination but to preserve the mythology of vaccines being “safe and effective” centuries of vaccine toxicity was erased from memory, thereby allowing the same vaccine disasters to keep repeating.Continue readingIs Israel’s Government the world’s most dangerous?by Eric Zuesse9 May 2025, by Eric Zuesse. (All of my recent articles can be seen here.)In the only two international polls that have asked people in a wide range of nations such questions as “Which country do you think is the greatest threat to peace in the world today?”, America was overwhelmingly the country that (in that particular case) the 67,806 global respondents volunteered to write into the blank as being the top-most dangerous of all countries. However, if that poll were to be redone today (and I think it should be done every year), might Israel top the list? Of course, Israel is a much smaller country, but consider this video from UKColumn — one of the best-informed and most reliable sources reporting on imperialism today — about Israel’s version of America’s NSA and UK’s GCHQ, global spying, mind-controlling, and sabotaging, organizations, which are continually learning, through sophisticated algorithms, everyone’s personal prejudices, medical records, etc., so as to manage public consent in their own ‘democracy’ — not only among their own nation’s voters — but also in their targeted foreign countries, so as for these Governments to manipulate, and to work together to manipulate, not only their own populations, but also those in the targeted ones, which public-opinion-management is being done by what’s called “cyber warfare”:Continue readingWhy Elon Musk Is Right: The Case Against Subsidizing Amtrakby Mises Wire•J.D. WongFounded 54 years ago, Amtrak set out on a bold adventure to see if passenger trains could be profitable. Fast forward to today, this experiment has been unsuccessful. Politicians have often crafted routes to win votes rather than attract riders. As a result, Amtrak has been squandering taxpayer money since its start in 1971.Take, for instance, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021. It allocated a monumental $66 billion to bolster passenger rail. Yet, even with this backing, Amtrak’s losses soared from $1.12 billion in FY2019 to $2.12 billion in FY2024. This financial drain isn’t new; America’s passenger trains have lost money for 79 years.Amtrak asserts that it is “on-track to reach operational profitability.” Yet, this is a bald-faced lie. While Amtrak reported a loss of $705.2 million for FY2024, it didn’t include:Continue readingFlorida Troopers Now Federally Credentialed to Arrest Illegal Immigrants on Their OwnBy Darlene McCormick SanchezFlorida officials announced that 1,800 state Highway Patrol troopers are the first in the nation to receive federal credentials under an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agreement allowing them to arrest illegal immigrants on their own.Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said at a press conference on May 12 that the state’s ongoing partnership with ICE included what is known as 287(g) agreements, where state and local law enforcement partner with ICE to help arrest and deport illegal immigrants.The Florida Highway Patrol entered into a 287(g) task force model that gives them the power to arrest foreign nationals who are in the country illegally and place detainers on them during routine policing, such as traffic stops.In essence, it allows local law enforcement to operate as an extension of ICE under federal supervision.Continue readingKlein’s flying supercar rolls out in 2026, with an amphibian to followBy Loz BlainThe AirCar is designed to look sleek and slot into a standard car parking lot on the ground, and slide out wings and its rear section when it’s ready for takeoffKlein VisionMore than 30 years in the making, this long-range, high-speed, flight-tested, two-seat flying car is slated to be certified later this year, with customer deliveries beginning in early 2026. The team tells us an amphibious version could follow.Slovakia’s Klein Vision has now made more than 500 test flights of its rather handsome 4th-gen AirCar prototype, and at the 2025 Living Legends of Aviation Gala Dinner in LA last week, the company showed off renders of the 5th-gen prototype that will form the basis for certification and finally go through to production.This design, co-founder Anton Zajac tells us over a video call, is slated to fly in September. The company expects a full Part 23/CS-23 certification with EASA and/or the US FAA by late September, clearing the path for mass production and customer deliveries to begin early next year.Continue readingBREAKING: COVID-19 mRNA Shots Destroy Over 60% of Women’s Non-Renewable Egg Supplyby Nicolas Hulscher, MPHThe study titled, Impact of mRNA and Inactivated COVID-19 Vaccines on Ovarian Reserve, was recently published in the journal Vaccines:Objectives: This study aimed to elucidate the effects of messenger RNA (mRNA) and inactivated coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines on ovarian histology and reserve in rats.Methods: Thirty female Wistar albino rats, aged 16–24 weeks, were randomly divided into three groups (n = 10): control, mRNA vaccine, and inactivated vaccine groups. Each vaccine group received two doses (on day 0 and day 28) at human-equivalent doses. Four weeks post-second vaccination, ovarian tissues were harvested for analysis.Results: Immunohistochemical analysis was performed to evaluate the expression of transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), caspase-3, and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) in ovarian follicles. Both vaccines induced significant increases in TGF-β1, VEGF, and caspase-3 expression, with more pronounced effects in the mRNA vaccine group. Conversely, AMH expression in the granulosa cells of primary, secondary, and antral follicles showed marked reductions (p < 0.001). The counts of primordial, primary, and secondary follicles decreased significantly in the inactivated vaccine group relative to controls and further in the mRNA vaccine group compared to the inactivated group (p < 0.001). Additionally, the mRNA vaccine group exhibited a decrease in antral and preovulatory follicles and an increase in atretic follicles compared to the other groups (p < 0.05). The serum AMH level was diminished with the mRNA vaccination in comparison with the control and inactivated groups.Continue readingModular hotswap batteries allow e-tractor to work the farm for longerBy Paul RiddenAs agriculture tries to clean up its act, the roar of the diesel engine is likely to become a thing of the past in the countryside. But electric farmers don't want to their battery-powered machinery idling for hours charging. The ONOX tractor's modular hotswap approach could help.We've seen a number of electric tractor solutions pitched in recent years, from big names like John Deere and Kubota, as well as startups such as Monarch. Germany's ONOX has joined the farming community with a familiar yet fresh design that boasts a modular battery setup.Currently at the prototype testing stage of development, the startup launched in 2021 and first showed its full-size prototype at a trade show in Hanover a couple of years later. The team attracted the eye of the iF Design judges in 2024, where the electric tractor concept took gold. The test phase began shortly after, including time in the great outdoors. Approval for road use in Germany followed earlier this year.Continue readingCoinbase Hacked After Attackers Bribed Company's Own Employees To Leak Customer DataCoinbase, the world’s third-largest cryptocurrency exchange, was hit by a $20 million extortion attempt after cybercriminals recruited their overseas employeesby Tyler DurdenCoinbase, the world’s third-largest cryptocurrency exchange, was hit by a $20 million extortion attempt after cybercriminals recruited "multiple contractors or employees working in support roles outside the United States to collect information from internal Coinbase systems to which they had access", and to leak user data, the company said according to CoinTelegraph.According to a May 15 blog post and an 8K filing with the SEC, Coinbase said a group of external actors bribed and coordinated with several customer support contractors to access internal systems and steal limited user account data.Continue Reading...Life Was Better When America Was Free Of The Minimum Wageby thefreethoughtproject.comFuture of Freedom Foundation) In today’s society, there are incessant debates over how much the minimum wage should be. I sometimes wonder how many Americans realize that there was once a time when Americans lived without minimum-wage laws. Indeed, how many people realize that the U.S. Supreme Court once held that minimum-wage laws violated the U.S. Constitution, the document that called the federal government into existence?In 1918, Congress approved a bill that created a board to investigate wage conditions in the District of Columbia and to establish a minimum wage for women and minors working within the district. President Woodrow Wilson signed the bill into law.The D.C. minimum-wage law was a good example of the interventionist/regulatory philosophy that was gaining ground in the United States. For more than 100 years, the United States had existed without minimum-wage laws or, for that matter, most other governmental regulations. That’s because the American people had adopted what was known as a “free enterprise” economic system, one in which economic enterprise was largely free of government control, management, and regulation.Continue readingSoros-Linked Groups Sue to Stop Trump’s Migrant Child Trafficking Crackdownby Breitbart and Alex JonesAt the beginning of the month, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced he had uncovered a massive human trafficking operation run out of his department. HHS aims to verify the legal status of adult sponsors before unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) are handed over to their care. The National Center for Youth Law and Democracy Forward both have financial ties to the Soros network. They have filed a class action lawsuit to stop Trump’s crackdown and seek a preliminary injunction to stop the Trump administration from implementing the reforms.Alex Jones said that the estimated 350,000 migrant children who were caught at the border that have gone missing actually total about 1 million missing children because most entered the US without encountering US Border Patrol. Kyle Seraphin, an FBI whistleblower, said that the Trump administration has failed to make these children a priority, which he blamed on the FBI and named Dan Bongino, the Deputy Director of the FBI. He suggested that Bongino may be either unaware of the problem or is chasing headlines.Continue readingThe DOJ Just Torpedoed Its Own Case Against Roger Ver — It’s Time to Drop Itby Matt AgoristOn April 7, 2025, the Department of Justice quietly issued a sweeping policy shift that could—and should—obliterate its case against Roger Ver. Tucked into a 4-page memo titled “Ending Regulation By Prosecution,” the DOJ made a stunning admission: prosecuting individuals for violating unclarified crypto regulations is no longer acceptable. In fact, it’s now against federal policy.“The Department of Justice is not a digital assets regulator... The Justice Department will no longer pursue litigation or enforcement actions that have the effect of superimposing regulatory frameworks on digital assets.”— DOJ Deputy Attorney General Memo, April 7, 2025Let that sink in.For over a decade, federal agencies—under both blue and red banners—have targeted crypto pioneers like Roger Ver with vague, backdated tax rules and regulatory grey zones. Ver, a key early adopter and evangelist of Bitcoin, renounced his U.S. citizenship in 2014 and attempted to follow every legal protocol in doing so. But now, more than 10 years later, the U.S. government is seeking to extradite him over alleged tax liabilities—before the IRS even provided clear digital asset guidance.Continue readingGermany Wind Power Firms Face Millions In Losses As Wind Speed Drops To 50-Year Lowby Tyler Durden, By ReMix NewsIn many ways, Germany’s wind power revolution has been a success, with wind power serving as the country’s largest source of electricity. However, the current wind lull over the last three months has led to an extreme dip in energy production, which is costing firms millions in losses.The wind speed average has dropped below less than 5.5 meters per second in the first quarter of 2025, according to German Meteorological Service (DWD). The last time the country saw such low speeds was in 1972 and 1973, and before that, in 1963.Wind energy producers have been hit hard. For example, PNE, a wind farm operator in Coxhaven, showed revenue dropped to €27.9 million from €31.4 million the previous year, but perhaps more importantly, it went from an operating profit of €1.1 million in the first quarter to a loss of €7.1 million, according to Welt.Continue readingNYT: Trump Ended War With Houthis After They Shot Down U.S. Drones, Nearly Hit Fighter Jetsby Chris MenahanPresident Trump reportedly decided to end his short-lived war on the Houthis after being informed that the US had "burned through weapons and munitions at a rate of about $1 billion in the first month alone" and couldn't even establish air superiority.From The New York Times, "Why Trump Suddenly Declared Victory Over the Houthi Militia":When he approved a campaign to reopen shipping in the Red Sea by bombing the Houthi militant group into submission, President Trump wanted to see results within 30 days of the initial strikes two months ago.By Day 31, Mr. Trump, ever leery of drawn-out military entanglements in the Middle East, demanded a progress report, according to administration officials.But the results were not there. The United States had not even established air superiority over the Houthis. Instead, what was emerging after 30 days of a stepped-up campaign against the Yemeni group was another expensive but inconclusive American military engagement in the region.[...] [Gen. Michael E. Kurilla, the head of Central Command] proposed an eight- to 10-month campaign in which Air Force and Navy warplanes would take out Houthi air defense systems. Then, he said, U.S. forces would mount targeted assassinations modeled on Israel's recent operation against Hezbollah, three U.S. officials said.Continue readingUpcoming Liberty EventsMises Institute Revisionist History of War Conference - May 15th-17th, 2025 - EventThe Free Cities Online Summit 2025 - Online, May 26-30, 2025BARNUM WORLD Premiere - Pollack Cinemas, Tempe, AZ - May 31, 7:00 PMInfinita City - Crypto Cities Build Month - June 1st-30th - Próspera Zone, Roatan (Honduras)Rothbard Graduate Seminar 2025 - June 8th-13th, 2025 - EventPorcupine Freedom Festival - June 16th-22nd - Lancaster, NHMises University 2025 - July 20th-26th, 2025 - EventMidwest Peace and Liberty Festival - July 24th - 27th - Gregory, MIAnarcon - Sept 26th-28th - Gore, VAMises Institute Supporters Summit 2025 - October 16th-18th, 2025 - Even's LibertyFree Cities Conference: Returning to Prague - October 31st to November 2nd, 2025 - EventMemes BonanzaTruth Music of the WeekChannel Five News - The Musical by Bo BurnhamEtienne Note: Every time I see a local news team out "collecting shots" I always go up to them and ask them if they have seen/heard Bo Burnham's Channel 5 News song!
