Fivememefri – The Police State is Here – Martial Law in DC, 10K New Goons for ICE, 100K New Detention Cells
Why We Need Voluntaryist Voices to Break Us Free from the Rigged Games of “Government” and “Elections”Dear Subscribers,Our lead story and videos this week are examples of why the Art of Liberty Foundation is so needed and why we are so unique. I have been wanting to write about the incremental tyranny that is being rapidly instituted in the US, but have been bogged down with customer service issues from “The Corbett Bump” that generated hundreds and hundreds of orders from 20+ countries. We were in the process of moving to a new Internet store at ArtOfLiberty.org/store from our existing store at Government-Scam.com/store when the bump hit, and the new store wasn’t ready for prime time. I estimate that we lost thousands of dollars due to excessively high shipping costs, particularly internationally, which led to customers abandoning their carts. We have a small crew, and I have had to step in to manage numerous customer service issues.From all the news I read and skimmed, John and Nisha Whitehead at the Rutherford Institute had the best article on the incremental tyranny that is being rapidly rolled out and beta-tested in the country. From troops on the streets of Washington, DC, to 10,000+ new jackbooted thugs at ICE to 100,000+ new detention cells being built around the country, the police state is coming in fast and hard. Aaron and Melissa Dykes had the best video rant.Both of them seem intellectually crippled by the Statism they were force-fed in their youth. Both miss the complete illegitimacy of the “government” and “constitution” on its face… Both are still locked into the easily rigged games of “government” and “elections.”This is why voluntaryist voices are so needed! Nothing could bring this incremental tyranny to a halt faster than the widespread understanding of the illegitimacy of “government” on its face… or exposing the inter-generational organized crime system running the puppets in DC (and Moscow, Tel Aviv, London, etc.) Until John, Nisha, Aaron, and Melissa are “Striking the Root” and exposing the illegitimacy of “government,” they are simply hacking at the branches of evil while trapped in the rigged game of voting harder on unauditable black box voting machines and paper ballots. I wish I could hire a couple of voluntaryist writers and content creators to help me break down these developments from a principled voluntaryist perspective, vs. having to syndicate Statist voices, but that is where I am this week.In positive news, we have had multiple folks from around the world contact us, offering to translate To See the Cage is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many into various languages. We have started a Spanish translation and are in talks on German, Hungarian, and Bulgarian! Stay tuned!Top Stories of the WeekThe Police State Has a New Playbook: Martial Law, One City at a TimeBy John and Nisha WhiteheadEtienne Note: John Whitehead seems intellectually crippled by the Statism he was force-fed in his youth. While he completely misses the complete illegitimacy of the “government” and “constitution” on its face, he does a great job of detailing the many usurpations of freedom, incremental tyranny and normalization of police state capabilities that are being rapidly instituted in the “Land of the Fee and Home of the Slaves”!The Police State Has a New Playbook: Martial Law, One City at a Timeby John & Nisha Whitehead, Rutherford Institute“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.”—H.L. MenckenLet’s not mince words: every American should be alarmed by President Trump’s “Liberation Day” tactics, theatrics and threats.What is unfolding in the nation’s capital is a hostile takeover of our constitutional republic.This is no longer about partisan politics, wag-the-dog distractions from the Epstein debacle, or even genuine national security concerns.This is martial law disguised as law-and-order—the oldest trick in the authoritarian playbook.We have been traveling this slippery slope toward a police state for some time, but under Trump 2.0, the descent towards outright tyranny is accelerating.Building on the expanded emergency powers he has claimed to wage war on immigration, wokeness and the economy, Trump is taking aim at yet another so-called “crisis”—this time, by waging war on crime in the nation’s capital, despite the fact that crime is at a 30-year low.Under the guise of “restoring order” and “cleaning up” the streets, Trump has called in the National Guard, dispatched the FBI, and federalized the local police in order to take control of Washington, D.C.This is how the Emergency State operates in the open.A real but manageable problem—crime, homelessness, public disorder—is inflated into an existential threat.Fear is manufactured, then exploited to seize more power. (In many cases, the “facts” fueling these crackdowns come directly from the president’s own disinformation machine—manufacturing the perception of danger to justify the expansion of control.)Whether the trigger is terrorism, civil unrest, economic instability, or public health, the aim remains the same: expand the reach of federal authority, justify more militarized policing, and condition the public to accept the suspension of rights in the name of national security.Once these powers are taken, they are never willingly relinquished.Each time, Trump pushes the envelope a little, relying on military optics meant to intimidate.For instance, on April 28, 2025, Trump signed an Executive Order authorizing mass round-ups of “violent criminals” and “gang members,” empowering federal agencies and military support for domestic law enforcement.In June, Trump deployed the National Guard to California to quell protests over mass immigration arrests, treating political dissent as a security threat. A bench trial is currently underway to determine if Trump’s actions violated the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the military from being used as a domestic police force.By midsummer, a mental health detention directive allowed involuntary commitments of the homeless under “public health” grounds.By August, Trump was deploying FBI agents and the National Guard into the nation’s capital in order to clear homeless encampments because the president says the city is “dirty” and “dangerous.”Continue Reading…Videos of the WeekGreg Reese 5 Minute Video: A POLICE STATE for Your Safetyby Greg ReeseContinue reading…This is Tyranny! – Aaron & Melissa Dykes Ran#t Hard About the Rollout of Troops on the Streets in USAThis is admittedly a 30-min rant, but I believe it’s packed with all the reasons why what we’re seeing unfold in DC is not only unprecedented, but a dark portend for America’s future. Mass civil unrest is obviously coming in the not-too-distant future or they wouldn’t be gearing up for it so damn hard.None of the excuses I’m seeing even remotely begin to make this “okay”. What is happening isn’t okay at all, but it’s definitely being normalized at breakneck speed. This is some praetorian guard under the Roman Empire level stuff going on.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.

But thanks to its close ties to the Trump administration, the firm rocketed to the top of the list in the second quarter of 2025.Ballard’s income mushroomed to $20 million during April, May and June, an increase of $6.1 million over the previous period. While Brownstein, Hyatt — the top lobbying firm every year from 2021 to 2024 — remains the overall leader for the year, it saw an increase of just $1.7 million in Q2 to $18.5 million. If Ballard maintains a lead in each of the next two quarters, it would not only dethrone the reigning champ — it could break the record for annual earnings ($67.8 million, set last by Brownstein, Hyatt).Continue readingTrentadue To Trump, Bondi: Release The OKC TapesEtienne 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.

Depending on who you are tuning into, some have very dire, and ominous predictions indeed. Others have sobering and unpleasant, yet empowering predictions to offer. Fewer yet, have utopian (sit back and watch the fireworks and saviors will make everything better) type predictions.Rather than worry about dire predictions or hope for vague saviors to do the work for me, over the last year I have been working to ensure that I will be able to offer a highly accurate prediction for the coming year. I have accomplished this via applying an approach that combines three SolutionsWatch episodes from the Corbett Report into one (Community Gardens, Regenerative Agriculture and Guerilla Gardening) so rather than extrapolate potentials of what might happen due to external events impacting me and my community, I worked to make an internal vision, hope and knowledge base manifest outwardly in ways that will definitely impact me and my community (and in ways that nourish, heal, connect and uplift).Continue readingAugust 6 and 9, 1945: Who Ordered the Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki?by Michel ChossudovskyAt the end of the Second World War, what insidious minded cabal of powerfully influential Americans pressured President Truman to order these two genocidal nuclear war crimes without even consulting his top commanding generals?Apart from them having been war crimes, the same as the incendiary bombing of some 60 other Japanese cities, the Atom bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were acts of war committed while US warfare was being conducted under the commands of General Eisenhower and General MacArthur. The two Atomic bombs were dropped without their approval and without their being informed beforehand.General Douglas MacArthur, Commander of United States Army Forces in the Far East, who was not consulted before the atom bombing and destruction of two Japanese cities, saw no military justification for the dropping of the bomb.Continue readingHigh Levels of Arsenic Discovered in US Riceby Dr. Joseph MercolaMore than 1 in 4 rice products sold in the U.S. now exceed the FDA’s arsenic limit for infant cereal, exposing families to heavy metals that harm brain development, kidneys, and long-term healthBrown rice grown in the southeastern U.S. was the most contaminated, while white basmati from India, Thai jasmine and California-grown white rice had the lowest heavy metal levelsCooking rice in extra water and draining it like pasta cuts arsenic exposure by up to 60%, making it one of the simplest ways to reduce your toxic loadChildren under 2 in Asian American and Latino households are exposed to two to four times more arsenic from rice than the general population due to higher rice consumptionWhite rice is easier to digest and less inflammatory than brown rice for people with gut issues or mitochondrial dysfunction, making it a better choice for many; choosing lower-contaminated varieties and cooking them properly are keyContinue readingRanked: The 50 Largest Companies Outside the U.S., in 2025By Pallavi Rao, Graphics/Design: Miranda SmithThis 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.China leads the most valuable companies outside the U.S. with 12 in the top 50 (13 if counting China Mobile in Hong Kong).Luxury and tech firms earn premium valuations for their sales, while resource giants lag despite massive revenues.Europe thrives in brand-driven sectors like luxury and pharma, while Asia drives innovation in tech hardware.From oil behemoths to chip-making titans, the corporate world beyond America is vast and varied.This ranking spotlights the 50 largest public companies headquartered outside the United States, measured by market capitalization, profit, and revenue.Continue readingYou Say You Want a Revolution?by Bretigne Shaffer via The Advocates for Self-GovernmentOf all of the claims made by proponents of socialism, one of the most outlandish is that there is anything “revolutionary” about that ideology. For thousands of years, human history has been dominated by stories of conquest and domination. Even by 2025, societies that show a high regard for individual liberty and protection for property rights are the exception and not the rule. Socialism is simply one more flavor of the brutal authoritarianism that has been the norm for most of our time on earth.Proponents of socialism will tell you that they dream of an egalitarian society, and that getting there will require a massive redistribution of wealth. What they leave out are the ugly bits:How is this egalitarianism to be enforced? Who is to do the redistributing? What happens to someone who doesn’t want their wealth “redistributed”? What if somebody wants more than their neighbor has and is willing to work for it? And what if someone else is willing to hire them to work? Who is going to step in and prevent this exchange between consenting adults? And more importantly, how?Continue readingRanked: The 20 Largest Cryptocurrencies by Market Capby Niccolo Conte Graphics/Design: Joyce MaBitcoin remains the largest cryptocurrency with a $2.36 trillion market capitalization, more than 5x larger than the next largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum.Layer 1 tokens and stablecoins dominate the rest of the top 10 largest cryptocurrencies, however, memecoin Dogecoin still ranks ninth with a $37 billion market cap.Cryptocurrencies are among the most volatile and innovative asset classes of the past decade.

Just allegations and a compliance request.And this isn’t some rare, extraordinary measure. It happens all the time.Tether has repeatedly frozen and seized funds whenever authorities come knocking — often based solely on allegations:November 2023: $225 million in USDT frozen linked to alleged human traffickers at the request of the U.S. DOJ.Continue readingThe Vast Network of Israeli Spy Tech Behind The Modern Surveillance Stateby Nate BearLast week another batch of peaceful pro-Palestine protestors were arrested by British police on suspicion of terrorism offences, including a disabled man in a wheelchair, as the UK continues its descent into authoritarianism on behalf of Israel.If any of these protestors had their phones on them at the time of arrest, the police will most likely have scraped them for data using sophisticated spy tech software. Protestors not arrested will have been caught on mobile cameras that sit atop police vans in the UK, and their faces, perhaps even their voices, will have been captured, analysed and cross referenced against a police database.And in a perverse twist, this spyware technology – technology which now underpins the insidious and growing capabilities of the modern surveillance state – will most likely have been made in Israel by Israeli spies.Continue readingTrump Authorized Military Operations on Foreign Soil to Target Latin American Cartelsby AntiWar, News Nation and Jimmy DorePresident Donald Trump has ordered the US military to take direct actions against Latin American cartels, including conducting operations on foreign soil. The State and Treasury Departments have listed several Latin American cartels as Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SGDT) that include Tren de Aragua (TdA), Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13), and Cártel de Sinaloa. The Cartel de los Soles from Venezuela was also added.Secretary of State Marco Rubio has labeled Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro the leader of the Cartel de los Soles and is offering a $50 million reward for his capture for violating US anti-narcotics laws.The Mexican government rejected a proposal from Trump earlier this year that would have allowed the US military to target cartels in Mexico. Congress has not authorized Trump to attack cartels, so any military actions, including covert action, would be unconstitutional.Continue readingChikungunya Disease – James Roguski Breaks Down the Fear Mongering, Basics, Natural Remedies, and More!by James RoguskiThis article is meant to be a resource center for you to properly inform yourself BEFORE the government, the mainstream media and the alternative media whip up a frenzy of fear-mongering around CHIKV (CHIKungunya Virus).Please take the time to learn and prepare yourself in advance and don’t fall for the bullshit propaganda this time.According to “experts,” “Chikungunya disease” is marked by severe joint pain, often leading to a stooped or bent-over posture, which is why it’s sometimes referred to as the “bending over” disease. The name “chikungunya” itself comes from the Kimakonde language of Mozambique and means “that which contorts or bends up,” reflecting the characteristic posture of those suffering from the disease’s intense joint pain.“There is no cure.”“There is nothing you can do.”Continue readingEU Breaks Its Own Law, Forcing Use of Google for Age Verificationby Take Back Our TechThe EU just took a major step forward in their Digital ID program by releasing an age verification app and framework. Its being tested in 5 EU countries.The EU presents the app as a private solution to age verification. But there’s one catch. They recommend the app use Google attestation, meaning that it won’t work on alternative phones.The app will only work on Google phones thanks to its enforcement of Google attestation, even though its less secure.Everyone in the EU may be forced to use big tech phones when using apps integrated with this age verification system.How did the EU respond to backlash, and what’s the future for degoogled phones in the EU?—The European commission earlier this month rolled out a new app and framework for age verification.Its intended to be used by other apps that require age verification checks.Continue readingIsrael Announces “Final Plan” to Occupy GazaNetanyahu has announced plans for the “final” takeover of Gaza, which he’s instead billing as a “liberation” from Hamas:by SimpliciusA timeline refresher—2023 above, present time below:It’s interesting how, given Netanyahu’s above infographic, Israel’s objectives in Gaza can be superficially compared to the Russian SMO. The difference is, Russia is following international law, whereas Israel is breaking it. It was the UN itself which established the known precedent that a people have the right to self-determination when it came to Serbia being pressured to recognize Kosovo’s independence. But in Donbass or even Gaza, no such right to self-determination and official recognition apparently exists. In Ukraine, Russia is only enforcing the UN’s very own standards on self-determination, while in Gaza, Israel is breaking it.Continue readingFormer CNN Host Jim Acosta Interviews AI Generated Version of Dead Teen to Push Gun Controlby Gateway PunditWhen it comes to journalistic ethics, former CNN host Jim Acosta clearly has none.Acosta recently interviewed one of the victims of the Parkland shooting. Not a real one, mind you, but an AI generated version of one of the victims who died in the shooting.Acosta actually spoke to this non-real person as if it was real and used the AI generation to push gun control.This is just sick.From Townhall:I don’t know what this is, but it’s unseemly, insensitive, and creepy. The interview should never have been done, and whoever or whichever group of people thought this was a good idea, creating AI chatbots for those killed during the Parkland shooting, are ghouls.In 2018, 17 students were murdered during the attack at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Joaquin Oliver, 17, was one of those people, and he “spoke” with former CNN host Jim Acosta in a surreal “interview,” which inevitably led to a push for more gun control…Continue reading‘No Place In Our Community’: Santa Cruz Residents Sue County Over AT&T Cell Towerby The Free Thought Project(Children’s Health Defense) Residents of Santa Cruz County, California, are suing the county for allegedly illegally approving the placement of a 140-foot AT&T cell tower in a rural residential neighborhood.The residents want the court to order the county to withdraw the tower’s approval.Tim Richards, with Santa Cruz County for Safe Tech, the group opposing the tower, told The Defender he and his family will be forced to relocate if the tower is built.“My wife and I are sensitive to radiofrequency radiation, which triggers migraine headaches and fatigue for us,” he said. “We specifically moved to this mountaintop to escape towers in town.”He and his wife have two kids, ages 1 and 5. Children are more susceptible to negative health impacts from wireless radiation, Richards said.Continue readingQuick Take…Are Digital IDs coming piecemeal?by Independent media alliance, Kit Knightly, OffGuardianI’m starting to think a full-scale, nationwide compulsory digital ID won’t ever be a thing. Not officially, anyway. Not for quite a while.It’s a vibe I feel coming off the news that gels more with the current methodology – the indirect authoritarianism of the easier path. Piecemeal tyranny washed in on waves of convenience.According to a 2023 report (which resurfaced last week for some reason), in the near future, British citizens will likely need electronic “Carbon Passports” to travel. These will be digital documents that track and limit your travel based on carbon emissions.During Covid, digital “vaccine passes” were needed to differentiate those who had been vaccinated from those who had not. If and when another “pandemic” rolls around, they will be used again.Continue readingIsrael Assassinates More Journalists To Hide Its Planned War Crimesby Caitlin JohnstoneListen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):Ahead of a planned Israeli assault on Gaza City which UN officials warn will further exacerbate death and suffering for the Palestinian people, Israel has chosen to assassinate five Al Jazeera journalists who’ve been stationed there. Among those killed was Anas al-Sharif, one of the most high-profile surviving reporters in Gaza.The IDF is of course claiming that al-Sharif was Hamas, because that’s what they always do. They’ve been murdering a historically unprecedented number of journalists and defending their systematic effort to blind the world to their actions in Gaza by claiming that every journalist they kill is Hamas. The journalists are Hamas, the hospitals are Hamas, the UN is Hamas, the peace activists are Hamas, the demonstrations are Hamas, telling the truth is Hamas, human empathy is Hamas, objective reality is Hamas. It’s all Hamas.Continue readingDrinking Soda Raises Diabetes Risk Even Without Weight Gainby Dr. Joseph MercolaDrinking just one sugary beverage a day increases your risk of developing Type 2 diabetes by 25%, even if you’re not overweightBoys who consume daily sugary drinks in childhood show a 34% rise in insulin resistance by age 17, along with higher fasting glucose levelsUnlike glucose, which is used by every cell in your body, fructose is processed only by your liver — and in excess, it gets turned into fat, driving fatty liver disease and insulin resistanceFructose from whole fruit is not harmful because it’s absorbed slowly with fiber and nutrients, but processed fructose in soda, including high-fructose corn syrup, floods your liver and overwhelms your mitochondriaReplacing just one daily soda with water, coffee or tea reduces your risk of Type 2 diabetes by 17%, making it one of the easiest and most effective prevention strategiesContinue readingTest Case for Global Controlby escThis essay could be about any one of a number of nations. But as a case study, I selected what is supposed to be one of the happiest countries on Earth — Denmark.Because if you’re a Danish farmer, happiness is in short supply these days.While the world focuses on alleged ‘far-right’ movements across Europe, something more sinister is brewing in the home of Lego, Carlsberg and Hans Christian Andersen. Under the cover of environmental protection, the government is planning to confiscate huge chunks of farmland and destroy the agricultural industry that feeds the nation.This is not ‘conspiracy theory’. It’s all documented in obscure official government reports — reports that somehow ‘forgot’ to ask the farmers what they think about being put out of business.Continue readingWhy Is Oil Pulling Suddenly All the Rage?by Dr. Joseph MercolaOil pulling, a traditional ayurvedic remedy that’s been valued for oral health maintenance since ancient times, is trending onlineThe hashtag #oilpulling has more than 350 million views on TikTokInfluencers are sharing videos of the technique and saying it makes their teeth whiter, gums healthier and breath fresherScientific evidence backs up oil pulling’s benefits: Oil pulling with coconut oil had a significant effect on plaque index score and reduced bacteria in saliva compared to controlsAbout half the medium-chain fatty acids that make up coconut oil are lauric acid, which has powerful antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties; coconut oil has also been found to fight Streptococcus mutans, which is associated with cavities, and Candida albicansOil pulling, a traditional ayurvedic remedy that’s been valued for oral health maintenance since ancient times, is now trending online.

There have been no deaths from the virus reported so far, according to the Chinese agency.According to state media, as of July 29, the cumulative number of chikungunya cases in Foshan, Guangdong—where the first cases of the outbreak were reported on July 8—had exceeded 6,000.Because of the Chinese communist regime’s record of censoring data it considers to be politically sensitive—as was seen with its cover-up of COVID-19 infections and related deaths in late 2019—the true number of known chikungunya fever infections could be higher.Continue readingVaccine Excipient Summaryby MellowKatDo me a favor, and share this with everyone you know.Today, I’d like to share a document I reviewed back in 2020. It is a summary of the excipients included in vaccines given to infants-adults in the U.S. Full PDF is below.Reading it still makes my blood boil, as I recall my blind trust for the Harmaceutical institutions, the hospitals, and my own family pediatrician(s).I, like many, didn’t even think to stop and question what the pediatricians pushed on my chid. We’ve been systematically brainwashed by the Rockefeller-system.I stupidly subjected my child to “well-visit” after “well-visit,” handing him over to the nurses to be poked like a pin-cushion for most of his life.I don’t know if I will ever forgive myself for my blind trust.Because of the anger and sadness I feel for my ignorance, I can only continue to speak up, share information, and sound the alarm on the harms caused by these toxic “interventions.”So let’s get started. What is an “excipient?” It is a solution that can be used as a preservative, adjuvant, or stabilizer in each bioweapon vaccine.A vaccine may also contain cell culture materials, inactivating ingredients, & antibiotics.Continue readingRanked: The Best-Selling Cars in the U.S. So Far in 2025by Niccolo ConteThis 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.The Ford F-Series remains America’s most popular vehicle with 412,848 units sold, followed by the Chevrolet Silverado (284,038) and Toyota RAV4 (239,451).The top five vehicles are all either pickup trucks or compact SUVs, underscoring continued consumer preference for size, utility, and versatility over traditional sedans.The first half of 2025’s best-selling cars in the U.S. confirms America’s long-standing love affair with trucks and SUVs.Pickup models from Ford, Chevrolet, and Ram continue to dominate the top ranks, while compact SUVs from Toyota and Honda also make strong showings. Sedans, once the default choice for many households, are now largely absent from the bestseller list.Continue readingTrump Puts Washington DC Under Federal Control, Calls in 800 National Guard Troopsby The Atlantic, NY Times and NBC MontanaPresident Trump declared a public safety emergency in Washington, DC for 30 days and placed Attorney General Pam Bondi in charge of the Metropolitan Police Department. 800 National Guard troops have been deployed inside of DC to assist with law enforcement. Official figures reportedly show that crime in DC is declining, with violent crime recently hitting a 30-year low.Trump says the numbers are cooked. He is warning that if his program is successful in DC, he may expand it to Chicago, Baltimore and Oakland.DC’s homicide rate in 2024—roughly 26.4 homicides for every 100,000 residents—is lower than in both 2023 and its peak in the 1990s. But it’s still nearly seven times higher than New York City’s rate (3.8 per 100,000). DC’s rate is also worse than that of Philadelphia, Atlanta, and even Chicago. In fact, it’s closer to that of infamously crime-ridden cities like Memphis and Detroit.Continue readingCanada Locks Down the Woods. Fines Range from $25K – $150K for Hiking, Biking & Fishingby National Post and Presss for TruthSeveral provinces in Canada, including Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador, have issued orders to stay out of the woods, claiming fire danger. On August 5, Nova Scotia, Canada banned people from hiking, camping, fishing and the use of vehicles like ATVs in the woods due to the elevated wildfire risk.Susan Holt, the Premiere of New Brunswick, admitted that people are not banned from the woods due to the possibility that they could cause a fire, but that they could break a leg and there would be no emergency responders to help them. She actually called for rain dances to stop the fires.Newfoundland and Labrador says it will fine violators of the burn ban up to $150,000, as well as up to a year in prison.Canada has been criticized for failing to clear dry brush due to bad policies based on environmentalism that emphasizes “climate change”. Earth.com wrote that a recent study “highlights the urgent need to address fuel aridity through sustainable forest management and climate mitigation efforts.” Aerial water bombers could help extinguish wildfires, but Canada has refused to purchase them.

This past Thursday, Trump signed an executive order Democratizing Access to Alternative Assets for 401(K) InvestorsThe order directs the Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer to review and potentially remove the biggest obstacle PE has had in gaining access to 401(k) plans, most notably the plan manager being sued for not performing their fiduciary responsibilities by investing in PE. That’s what happened in 2015 when Intel employees sued the company for what they considered to be lousy returns from PE investments.From the order:Within 180 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of Labor (Secretary) shall reexamine the Department of Labor’s past and present guidance regarding a fiduciary’s duties under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974…Continue readingFirst 3D-Printed Home Made Primarily From Soil is Built in Japan–Ditching Unsustainable ConcreteBy Good News NetworkCollaborating with robotics engineers and Italian 3D printer manufacturers, a Japanese company is building “homes of earth” made primarily from soil.Utilizing AI technology from design through construction, Lib Work, Ltd. completed their first 3D-printed earth home in Yamaga, Kumamoto on July 22, calling their creative process “uncharted territory where tradition and convention offered no guide”.While the automotive industry has undergone rapid transformation through technological advances, the housing industry has seen virtually no fundamental innovation in construction methods, materials, or structures for over 50 years.With an eye toward recycling, sustainability, and reduced carbon emissions, Lib Work focused on combining 3D-printing with natural materials enhanced for strength, constructibility, and design quality.Continue readingThese Countries Will Sell You A Passportby Tyler DurdenFor people unhappy with their passport and with the right amount of spare cash hanging around, acquiring a new nationality that – for example – awards visa-free travel to more countries is possible.As Statista’s Katharina Buchholz reports, according to law firm Henley & Partners, a dozen countries around the world offer passports in exchange for investments and the large majority does not require applicants to move or even visit there.You will find more infographics at StatistaThe scheme is a way for small island states – mainly in the Caribbean – to receive some cash injections into their economies while sharing the wide-reaching visa-free travel priviledges their passports hold.A passport from St. Kitts and Nevis, for example, offers relatively hassle-free entry to 154 countries, not far off from the world record held by Singapore at 193.

They are followed by Gen Zers, who account for 20%, and Gen Xers, representing nearly 15% of those relocating. Interestingly, Californians moving to Texas tend to earn more than the national average across most age groups, highlighting the financial advantage of the move.The news from StorageCafe isn’t unique. U-Haul has released a new report, and for the fifth straight year, California topped its Growth Index—meaning more residents of the Golden State rented one-way U-Haul trucks to leave the state in 2024 than residents of any other state. Texas was the top go-to state.Continue readingSam Altman, OpenAI will reportedly back a startup that takes on Musk’s Neuralinkby Tyler DurdenFor people unhappy with their passport and with the right amount of spare cash hanging around, acquiring a new nationality that – for example – awards visa-free travel to more countries is possible.As Statista’s Katharina Buchholz reports, according to law firm Henley & Partners, a dozen countries around the world offer passports in exchange for investments and the large majority does not require applicants to move or even visit there.You will find more infographics at StatistaThe scheme is a way for small island states – mainly in the Caribbean – to receive some cash injections into their economies while sharing the wide-reaching visa-free travel priviledges their passports hold.A passport from St. Kitts and Nevis, for example, offers relatively hassle-free entry to 154 countries, not far off from the world record held by Singapore at 193.

Worse still, Bari Weiss, a journalist with a long history of zealous pro-Israel advocacy, is being considered as the network’s new ombudsman, shaping its political direction, precisely because of her “pro-Israel stance.”Continue readingUpcoming Liberty EventsLiberty International World Conference – August 15th–17th, Buenos AiresRobbie “The Fire” Bernstein Porch Tour Comedy Show – Friday Night, August 15th – Memphis, TN 7:30-10:00 – Etienne will be attending!

PLUS Derrick Broze’s The Pyramid of Power is now streaming… on CiVL! Dear Subscribers,Short message this week. It took me a couple of weeks to dig myself out after our drives around the United States and Florida in June and July and the avalanche of book orders from the Corbett Report (and their attendant shipping issues to 20+ countries, customer service issues, and getting Amazon resupplied after selling out twice!) BUT… I can see the light at the end of the tunnel…I am stationary and ready to get back to work on my upcoming book: Voluntaryism! I expect to begin dropping articles on the Substack starting next week! Feels good to be writing again!Etienne Note: One of the metaphors in “The Matrix” was how hard it is to free one single mind from the (Propaganda) Matrix. Think about all the effort that went into freeing just Neo. There are essentially two groups of people on the planet.1. Those who understand that information about what is really going on (9-11, “The Covid,” the complete illegitimacy of “government,” the harmfulness of “vaccines” etc.) is being censored and controlled by a monopoly media system that includes the algorithmic censorship of the DARPA Internet AND 2. Those that don’t OR pretend not to understand to keep their jobs OR those who remain willfully ignorant because they don’t have the mental fortitude to deal with reality of the situation.Top Stories of the WeekHow to Leave the Cage – James Corbett & Etienne de la Boetie2Etienne Note: Get your popcorn on for this one and throw this up on the big screen.

Unlike traditional white LEDs used in grow operations, which focus mostly on light intensity, this approach uses specific wavelengths of light that plants actually respond to. Think of it as speaking a plant’s native language — instead of shouting the entire light spectrum.“Plants don’t just need light. They need the right signals at the right time. What we are doing is providing them with a language they understand,” says Bhola.And plants are clearly listening. In a recent study, crops grown under Symbiotic Systems’ LEDs showed a fivefold increase in beta-caryophyllene, a potent medicinal compound found in basil and cannabis. Each plant responds to different light cues, so this tech can be optimized by wavelength to encourage faster growth, greater resilience, and enhanced nutritional value.Continue readingThe Fast-Approaching Digital Control GridBy StudyFinds Analysis, Reviewed by Steve FinkScientists created an AI called Centaur that can predict human behavior across any psychological experiment with unprecedented accuracyThe AI outperformed decades-old specialized models and successfully predicted behavior in completely new scenarios it had never seen beforeCentaur’s internal workings became more aligned with human brain activity just by learning to predict our choices, potentially revolutionizing our understanding of cognitionMUNICH — An artificial intelligence system can now predict your next move before you make it.

Earlier this month, the EPA officially filed an appeal against a federal court ruling that found that fluoride in drinking water poses a risk to children’s brain development.The case, originally filed by parents and the Fluoride Action Network (FAN), challenged the EPA’s 2016 decision to reject a petition under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). That petition sought a ban on adding fluoride to public drinking water due to health concerns.Now, the unconstitutional agency has chosen to press forward with the appeal first initiated in the final days of the Biden administration.In September 2024, U.S. District Judge Edward Chen ruled that the fluoridation of water at the standard level of 0.7 milligrams per liter “poses an unreasonable risk of reduced IQ in children.”Continue readingPayPal to let U.S. merchants accept payment in more than 100 cryptocurrenciesby Tyler DurdenVia Brian McGlinchey at Stark RealitiesWhen asked how far the US government has plunged into the red, many fiscally-conscious Americans will tell you the national debt has reached $37 trillion. As distressing as that official number is, America’s true fiscal situation is even worse — far worse. According to a barely-publicized Treasury report, the actual grand total of Uncle Sam’s obligations is more than $151 trillion.That huge discrepancy springs from the fact that the federal government doesn’t hold itself to the same accounting standards it imposes on businesses. Rather than using accrual accounting — which recognizes expenses when they’re incurred — our Washington overlords self-servingly use simple cash accounting, only recognizing expenses when they’re paid. As a result, discourse on federal obligations solely focuses on the national debt, comprising Treasury bills, notes and bonds.Continue readingThink Uncle Sam Owes $37 Trillion?

It occurs naturally in trace amounts in kratom. Products containing 7-OH have potentially dangerous, enhanced levels and are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced the recommendation on June 29, stating that the 7-OH should be scheduled under the Controlled Substances Act because of its ability to bind to opioid receptors, which makes it a pain reliever that can be more powerful than morphine.HHS noted that it is focused on a concentrated byproduct of the kratom plant and not natural kratom products.Here’s what to know about the synthetic opioid.Continue Reading…YFQ-44A Unmanned Jets Will Fly With the F-47 Sixth Generation FighterThe US Air force is making YFQ-42A and YFQ-44A unmanned jets that will fly with the F-47 sixth generation fighter.

There will be about five drones for each F-47 fighter. Over 1,000 of the unmanned aircraft are planned. the unmanned jets will start operating first from 2025-2029 while the F-47 will start prototype flights in 2027. The YFQ-42A and YFQ-44A and F-47 systems will be built and designed to work together. The NGAD program is an overall plan for manned and unmanned aircraft, rather than a specific individual aircraft.These aircraft, from Increment 1 of the Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) contract, are designed to work closely in tandem with sixth generation aircraft like the F-47 in order to provide force multiplication with additional payload capacity, sensor picket capabilities, and decoy missions.Continue readingPolice nationwide are embracing a new first responder: Dronesby Marie-Rose SheinermanIn dozens of U.S. cities, the next time you call 911, a drone might show up before an officer does.The technology behind that — “Drone as First Responder,” or DFR — has skyrocketed in popularity among police departments nationwide since the Federal Aviation Administration streamlined the process for agencies to adopt the program this spring. While it could previously take up to a year to get approval, it now often takes just days.Law enforcement and drone industry leaders praise the technology as lifesaving, with the potential to help authorities in situations ranging from missing persons cases to active shooter incidents. But critics worry the programs encourage mass surveillance and violate the public’s privacy.“When you have a camera in the sky that can see things that police officers can’t normally see, that offers a huge potential for privacy invasion,” said Beryl Lipton, a senior researcher with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital rights group.Continue readingWorld’s first nuclear fusion plant being built in US to power Microsoft data centersby Prabhat Ranjan MishraA Washington-based company has started the construction of a nuclear fusion facility in Chelan County, Orion. Helion Energy aims to produce low-cost, clean electric energy using a fuel derived from water.The plan is to produce electricity from fusion by 2028 and supply the power to Microsoft data centres.“Today is an important day – not just for Helion, but for the entire fusion industry – as we unleash a new era of energy independence and industrial renewal,” said David Kirtley, Helion’s co-founder and CEO.“Since we founded the company, we have been completely focused on preparing fusion technology for commercialization and getting electrons on the grid. Starting site work brings us one step closer to that vision.”The energy company, focused on generating zero-carbon electricity, choose the Chelan County site for its ready access to transmission and legacy of energy innovation.Continue readingAging Spreads Through The Body Like An Infection, And This Protein Could Be To BlameBy StudyFinds Analysis, Reviewed by Steve FinkAbstract representation of aging (senescent) cells, depicting the gradual decline and transformation of biological structures over time, symbolizing the natural process of cellular deterioration and renewal. (© dang – stock.adobe.com)Aging may spread through the body via a protein called HMGB1, which sends pro-aging signals between cells—depending on its chemical state.Only the “reduced” form of HMGB1 triggers aging, causing healthy cells to stop dividing and release inflammatory molecules.Injecting this protein into mice induced signs of aging, while blocking it improved healing and physical performance in older animals.The findings suggest new paths for anti-aging treatments, including drugs that block HMGB1 or its downstream effects.SEOUL, South Korea — Researchers have identified a molecular culprit behind one of biology’s most puzzling phenomena: how cellular aging spreads from one part of the body to another, potentially accelerating the overall aging process.Continue readingThe Boomer Mirageby Joshua StylmanI saw this chart making the rounds on Twitter this week, and it stopped me cold. While the specific figures combine data from multiple sources, the trend is undeniable: in 1950, over half of 30-year-olds were married homeowners. By 2025, some analysts project that number as low as 13%.That’s not a societal transformation. It’s not an economic fluke. It’s the visible outcome of an invisible strategy—one that extracted everything it could from a three-generation arc and left only illusions in its place.They’ll tell you people just choose differently now—that marriage rates fell because of changing values. But people can’t choose what they can’t afford. When the economic foundation for family formation disappears, cultural changes follow inevitably. That chart doesn’t show us changing values or new priorities. It shows systemic breakdown, disguised for decades as freedom.Continue readingDARPA’s Theory of Mind Warfareby Matt SmithThe Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has an initiative called the Theory of Mind program. This effort is designed to give national security decision-makers the ability to model, simulate, and ultimately anticipate the intentions and behaviors of adversaries using a combination of advanced algorithms and human expertise.At its core, the program aims to:Build algorithmic models that “decompose” adversary strategies into elemental behaviors.Use massive data—signals intelligence, open-source information, even social media—to create high-fidelity “avatars” of enemy decision-makers.Simulate possible responses to a range of U.S. and allied actions, exploring which ones best deter, incentivize, or nudge adversaries toward preferred outcomes.Integrate insights from psychological profiling and machine learning to continually update these models as real-world conditions shift.Continue readingFed a Lie — The Truth About Seed Oilsby Dr. Joseph MercolaUltraprocessed vegetable oils have quietly become one of the most dominant and pernicious ingredients in the modern diet. They have driven a dramatic rise in linoleic acid (LA) intake over the past centuryThe documentary, “Fed a Lie: The Truth About Seed Oils,” reveals how marketing, subsidies, and flawed science replaced traditional animal fats with industrially produced oils made from soy, corn, cottonseed, and other cropsClinical and epidemiological studies have linked seed oil consumption to increased oxidative stress, inflammation, mitochondrial damage, cancer risk, and cardiovascular dysfunction, despite being touted as “healthy” fatsAncestral populations thrived on diets rich in saturated fat but free from processed seed oils. This allowed them low rates of chronic disease, even with widely varying macronutrient profilesContinue readingWho’s Responsible When No One’s Responsible for Driving?By ericTesla has just been found liable for the death of one person and the severe injury of another after one of its “self driving” cars ran over and killed a couple back in 2019. Twenty-two-year-old Naibel Benavides Leon and her boyfriend, Dillon Angulo, were out watching the night sky by the side of the road when the “self-driving” Tesla ran them down, killing Leon and almost killing Angulo. A Florida jury has ordered Tesla to pay the victims $243 million in damages.There are several interesting things about the case, the first thing being that – somehow – Tesla “lost” the video recording of the crash and also the data stream recorded by the car. A “mistake” was made, Tesla claimed. The same kind of mistake that was made the night Epstein didn’t kill himself, probably.The more interesting thing, however, is the liability precedent that has – at last – been set. Tesla has until now wriggled out of liability for the other crashes that have happened when a “self-driving” Tesla ran into something or someone by pointing out that it has always made it clear that the driver must “pay constant attention” and “be prepared to act immediately” at all times when the self-driving system is engaged – so as to be able to apply the brakes or steer when the tech fails to recognize/react to another vehicle (or person) in the path of the vehicle.Continue readingQuick Take…Are Digital IDs coming piecemeal?by Kit KnightlyI’m starting to think a full-scale, nationwide compulsory digital ID won’t ever be a thing. Not officially, anyway. Not for quite a while.It’s a vibe I feel coming off the news that gels more with the current methodology – the indirect authoritarianism of the easier path. Piecemeal tyranny washed in on waves of convenience.According to a 2023 report (which resurfaced last week for some reason), in the near future, British citizens will likely need electronic “Carbon Passports” to travel. These will be digital documents that track and limit your travel based on carbon emissions.During Covid, digital “vaccine passes” were needed to differentiate those who had been vaccinated from those who had not. If and when another “pandemic” rolls around, they will be used again.From the end of this year, British driver’s licenses will be digital and accessed through the government’s wallet app. In the future, your road tax will be paid via GPS tracking of your car, linked to your driver’s license.Continue readingRobot skin’ beats human reflexes, transforms grip with fabric-powered touchby Aamir KhollamRobots have become remarkably advanced, capable of executing complex tasks with impressive accuracy, speed, and coordination. Yet, despite these leaps, they often struggle with something fundamental like sensing and responding to touch.That limitation may soon change.A team from the University at Buffalo has developed an electronic textile (E-textile) that mimics how human skin senses pressure, slippage, and movement.This innovation enables robotic fingers to react in real time, tightening or loosening grip as needed, a significant upgrade in dexterity.The breakthrough could transform how robots interact with physical objects in collaborative environments like manufacturing, surgery, and prosthetics.It represents a notable step toward more sensitive and responsive machines, especially in settings that demand fine motor control.Continue readingMapped: Speeding Ticket Costs by StateEtienne Note: It obviously isn’t about the speeding. It is about raising revenue on the tax slaves for what is a victimless crime. In a voluntaryist world, road owners would have no incentive to keep speeds low to maximize fines and fees. They would be interested in having the fastest flowing traffic possible. “Government” is the worst way to organize society, where all the incentives are wrong.By Niccolo ConteThis 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.California has the highest minimum speeding ticket cost at $234, followed closely by Arizona ($231), Nevada ($223), and Texas ($223).On the other end, New Mexico and Nebraska have the lowest minimum fines at just $25, while Montana and North Dakota follow at $40.Continue readingTether claims billions in profits as it grows ‘secured loans’by Protos StaffTether, the world’s largest stablecoin firm, has claimed that it made approximately $4.9 billion in profits for the second quarter of 2025.USDT, the main stablecoin issued by Tether, had grown to a market capitalization of over $150 billion by the end of June.Moreover, Tether claims that it has grown to be one of “the largest holders of US government debt globally.Read more: Tether: Ten years, 100,000,000,000 USDT, and still no auditInterestingly, despite the substantial growth in Tether’s market capitalization, the amount of what Tether calls “equity” (the difference between assets and liabilities) has been remarkably stable.As Tether made sure to note in its announcement, it holds quite a few US Treasury bills, representing the single largest category in its reserves.Read more: Circle vs. Tether: What’s in the reserves?Continue readingHow to Set Up An Email Alias – #SolutionsWatchby CorbettWhat is an email alias, why might you want to use one, and how do you set one up?

The biggest losers are America’s children.The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the major professional association of North American pediatricians, has overseen the rising rates of chronic illness and medicating of American children over recent decades. With 67,000 members in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, AAP distinguished itself during Covid-19 for its strident insistence that children’s faces should be covered and they should be injected with modified RNA vaccines, despite knowing from early 2020 that severe Covid-19 was very rare in healthy children.Funded by sources including Moderna, Merck, Sanofi, GSK, Eli Lilly, and other pharmaceutical companies, the AAP’s members are the cornerstone of the rapidly increasing pediatric pharma market in North America – by far greater than any other region. As a professional organization dedicated to ensuring income for its members, the AAP is like any similar professional association or union and acts in this manner.Continue readingFDA approves breakthrough eye drops that fix near vision without glassesby Bronwyn ThompsonThe first aceclidine-based eye drop to improve near vision in adults with presbyopia, which affects more than 100 million adults in the US alone, has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and will be available within three months.Known as VIZZ, from pharmaceutical company LENZ, the drops are an aceclidine ophthalmic solution that effectively treats presbyopia in adults. The once-daily drops offer relief from blurry near. vision for up to 10 hours.”The FDA approval of VIZZ is a defining moment for LENZ and represents a transformative improvement in the available treatment options for the 128 million adults living with blurry near vision in the United States,” said Eef Schimmelpennink, President and Chief Executive Officer of LENZ Therapeutics. “This significant milestone is the result of tremendous commitment and collaboration by the LENZ team and our partners, the dedication of our clinical investigators, and the contributions of hundreds of participants in our clinical trials.”Continue readingChinese Company Unitree Introduces Agile Robot Dog that Can Perform Impressive Stuntsby Futurism, needtoknow.newsThe Solactive China Humanoid Robotics Index that tracks Chinese companies involved in the commercialization of humanoid and robotics technologies jumped more than 4% on Wednesday after Chinese robotics firm Unitree released a stunning video of its new robot dog.

Unitree claims it now produces roughly 60% of the world’s quadruped robots, leaving US rivals like Boston Dynamics in the dust.The Unitree A2 Stellar Explore can perform some impressive stunts, from front flips and traversing extreme environments. In fact, it can even hold up the weight of an adult man. Its battery pack allows it to continuously walk for five hours without a load, and three hours with a 50-pound load, and it can tackle 45-degree slopes with ease.Continue readingWhy Britain Arrests 30 People EVERY DAY For Speechby Steve Watson, modernity.newsIn this engaging Triggernometry interview, Lord Toby Young, founder of the Free Speech Union, discusses the UK’s Online Safety Act and its implications for free speech.He traces the Act’s origins to a moral panic over children’s exposure to harmful online content like self-harm sites and pornography, initially introduced under Theresa May’s government and expanded under Boris Johnson.Young criticizes it as overly broad, leading to excessive content removal by platforms fearing massive fines or jail time for executives. He highlights how it has resulted in age-gating innocuous material, such as speeches on grooming gangs or historical blog posts, under the guise of child protection, while failing to include robust free speech safeguards.Young argues this creates a chilling effect, with companies over-censoring to comply, and expresses concern that the Labour government, under figures like Peter Kyle, will strengthen it further rather than repeal it.Continue reading9 studies vaxxed vs. unvaxxed, all published in the peer-reviewed literature, show vaccinated are worse off in every measureby Steve KirschAnthony R.

In a letter to high-ranking officials, Huckabee threatened to publicly announce that Christians are no longer welcomed in Israel.Huckabee sent a letter last week to Israeli Interior Minister Moshe Arbel expressing “profound disappointment” over the Israeli government’s refusal to approve visas for American Christian groups, some of which had been organizing visits since the founding of the modern Jewish state in 1948. Huckabee is a Zionist Christian pastor who has led numerous such trips himself.Huckabee spoke to Arbel about this problem on May 27. But, it turns out, it has only persisted. In his recent letter, which was leaked to Israeli media, he says that what he hoped would conclude with a “simple resolution” has only gotten worse. The ambassador said that starting this year, Israel began dragging out the visa approval process and harassing evangelical organizations. “They have all been required to fill out extensive questionnaires regarding their religious beliefs, their activities, their assets on Israel, etc.,” he said in the letter.Continue readingAIPAC Gives Millions in PAC Donations to House Allies, Senators in 2026 RacesBy David MooreThe American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) made more than $12.7 million in PAC contributions to members of Congress and federal candidates in the first half of this year, according to its new Federal Election Commission filing, as the group lobbied for the delivery of billions of dollars in military aid to Israel, including U.S. cooperation in the war in Gaza.The PAC contributions were overwhelmingly earmarked donations, given by individual donors who used AIPAC as a conduit to pass their money along to candidates and other PACs. The PAC’s website touts that AIPAC will be credited in federal records as the conduit for donations.The top recipient of AIPAC’s PAC donations in the first half of this year was House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who received $625,000 given to a pair of his fundraising committees, according to a Sludge review of FEC data. AIPAC also reported making large PAC donations to several U.S. senators up for re-election in 2026, as well as Senate candidates Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) and Rep. Angie Craig (D-Minn.), and House members allied with AIPAC from both sides of the aisle. Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) received $250,000 from AIPAC’s PAC to his joint fundraising committee in February, led by more than a dozen $15,000 earmarked donations.Continue readingSo You Wanted Flying Cars?by Liz WolfeHere they come: The Federal Aviation Administration just lifted regulations on light-sport aircraft. “Our recreational pilots and plane manufacturers have correctly noted outdated regulations were inhibiting innovation and safety,” said Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy in a statement. “No more. Let’s bring this industry into a new age!”The new Modernization of Special Airworthiness Certification (MOSAIC) rule makes huge changes to how light-sport aircraft are regulated: It majorly ups weight and speed limits; includes aircraft with retractable landing gear and more seats; allows “for new types of propulsion and modern avionics” (including provisions to deal with simplified flight controls); and lets “pilots operating under Sport Pilot privileges to fly a broader range of aircraft.” This is actually a really good thing for people who care about innovation!Continue readingMAGA Going to Israel for Propaganda TrainingBy Joe LauriaThe Israel foreign ministry will spend $86,000 to finance a tour of Israel for 16 Americans to get them to use their vast online influence to craft more positive images of a nation openly engaged in genocide.The effort is being made as Israel reacts to a significant turn in public opinion against it, especially by Western youth. Tel Aviv realizes its usual methods of propaganda — and apparently its own inhouse troll army — are no longer working as they once did.The daily Haaretz reported:“Foreign Ministry officials say the tour delivers significant media, advocacy, and diplomatic benefits – and represents a strategic shift, as traditional outreach is no longer sufficient to shape public opinion. They aim to leverage the massive followings of young social media influencers to bolster Israel’s standing in the U.S.”Continue readingBREAKING STUDY: mRNA Injections Induce Severe, Long-Lasting Genetic Disruption Linked to Cancer and Chronic DiseaseBy Nicolas Hulscher, MPHIn a groundbreaking landmark study titled “Synthetic mRNA Vaccines and Transcriptomic Dysregulation: Evidence from New-Onset Adverse Events and Cancers Post-Vaccination”—just uploaded to Preprints.org—we discovered that COVID-19 mRNA injections can trigger profound, long-lasting genetic dysregulation in individuals who develop new-onset adverse events or cancer following vaccination.The study was conducted by scientists from Neo7Bioscience (Dr. John Catanzaro, Dr. Natalia von Ranke, Dr. Wei Zhang, Dr. Philipp Anokin), the University of North Texas (Dr. Danyang Shao, Dr. Ahmad Bereimipour, Minh Vu), the McCullough Foundation (Dr. Peter McCullough and Nicolas Hulscher) and Medicinal Genomics (Kevin McKernan).Using high-resolution RNA sequencing of blood samples and differential gene expression analysis, we found that COVID-19 “vaccines” severely disrupted the expression of thousands of genes—inducing mitochondrial failure, immune system reprogramming, and oncogenic activation that persisted for months to years after injection.Continue readingFormer Green Beret: ‘Without Question, I Witnessed War Crimes’ In Gazaby Tyler DurdenA retired US Army Special Forces lieutenant colonel who worked as a contractor at an aid distribution point in Gaza has gone on-the-record with claims that he personally witnessed war crimes perpetrated by the Israel Defense Forces and by American contractors working for the shadowy Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).”I witnessed the Israeli forces shooting at the crowds of Palestinians,” Anthony Aguilar told BBC. “I witnessed the Israeli forces firing a main gun tank round from the Merkava tank into a crowd of people, destroying a car of civilians that was simply driving away from the site. I witnessed mortar rounds being fired at the crowd… to keep them controlled.”The GHF is led by an evangelical Christian leader with close ties to Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump. The organization was established in Israel in a collaboration of American evangelicals and private security contractors. Soon after the GHF began distributing aid to war-torn Gaza in May, disturbing reports emerged of Israeli soldiers killing unarmed Palestinians approaching aid points for food. Reports of dozens of Palestinians being killed in single incidents have become common. Last week, the UN human rights office said more than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed while trying to receive food at the distribution points.Continue readingIn an age of ‘wearables’ everything you say can and will be used against youby Leo HohmannAmazon is reportedly preparing to acquire AI bracelet-maker Bee in a major move to dominate the next wave of personal tech, or as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. calls it, “wearables.”You’ll recall that RFK, director of Trump’s Department of Health and Human Services, stunned MAGAland last month when he said it was his mission to have all Americans hooked up to AI-based “wearables” by 2030.The Bee wristband is just one of many such devices hitting the market. It records everything you say, whether you’re talking to a friend, family member or even yourself, and syncs with your phone via Bluetooth.Powered by AI models from Anthropic, Google and Meta, the Bee turns each day, week — your whole life — into one big beautiful and highly searchable database. It takes your personal data and uses it to create personalized to-do lists and even tracks how many times you utter a curse word.Continue readingAnother day, another episode of the new FDA lying just like the old FDA… plus self dealing by MAHA Action.by Sasha LatypovaThis post is a compilation of recent happenings at HHS and MAHA machinations.On July 10, MAHA-FDA lied by “fully approving” Moderna’s mRNA shots for “unhealthy” children 6 mo+. This generated an outrage from the vaguely defined health freedom community, at least those people who have not completely sold their conscience in exchange for the spot at the government/pharma trough.The MAHA apologists with Bob Malone in charge furiously went to work feeding scripts lifted straight out of Shakespeare plays to their delusional followers, specifically this line: “Robert Kennedy was on vacation and his staffers didn’t tell him!” Malone’s article linked here is a fine example of propaganda. Among other things he asserts that thanks to this fake “approval” the covid shots are no longer EUAs. This is categorically false. The shots are Countermeasures and are listed under the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program, and not NVICP. All Countermeasures are EUAs governed by Chapter 564 of FD&CA. Yes, in general all vaccines are unregulated poisons, however, details like these matter in educating the public. An EUA cannot transmutate into a “full approval” without ending the PREP Act declaration and it’s EUA Countermeasure status first, then going through the real investigational clinical trials program. Malone knows this. Makary, Prasad and Kennedy all know this. Yet, they continue to lie to the public about the true legal status of the covid shorts and mislead the parents into poisoning their children.Continue readingHow to stop Hertz’s AI scanners from charging hundreds of dollars for minor scrapes on your rental carBy Ariel ZilberHertz’s new artificial intelligence-powered scanners are flagging customers for minor dents, scratches and blemishes in the company’s rental cars — charging hundreds of dollars in fees. But there are steps you can take to avoid getting hit with surprise damage claims.From choosing where to rent to documenting every inch of your vehicle, renters have options to protect themselves from what some customers say is an overly aggressive and opaque system.The company, which insisted that the scanner “only detects billable damage,” has previously defended the technology, saying that “the vast majority of rentals are incident-free” and that “when damage does occur, our goal is to enhance the rental experience by bringing greater transparency, precision, and speed to the process.”Continue readingWho Should Not Use IbuprofenBy Vance VoetbergPopping an ibuprofen for that pounding headache or twisted ankle can provide quick relief from pain. But although this easily accessible over-the-counter drug could temporarily mask discomfort and sometimes eliminate pain, experts say it does little to spur true healing.Furthermore, for these five groups of people, ibuprofen poses serious health risks that outweigh potential benefits.People with an impaired liver or impaired kidneys should avoid ibuprofen, as the drug can damage these vital organs, Dr. Joseph Maroon, a professor of neurological surgery at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, told The Epoch Times.Even as it’s considered one of the safer nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for the liver, ibuprofen can cause damage to liver cells, also known as hepatotoxicity or toxic hepatitis, according to a systematic review analyzing 22 studies. This liver injury occurred within 12 days of starting treatment and was more common in women.Continue readingWhat You Share With ChatGPT Can Be Used Against Youby Tyler Durden / Authored by Martin Young via CoinTelegraph.comOpenAI could be legally required to produce sensitive information and documents shared with its artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT, warns OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.Altman highlighted the privacy gap as a “huge issue” during an interview with podcaster Theo Von last week, revealing that, unlike conversations with therapists, lawyers, or doctors with legal privilege protections, conversations with ChatGPT currently have no such protections.“And right now, if you talk to a therapist or a lawyer or a doctor about those problems, there’s like legal privilege for it… And we haven’t figured that out yet for when you talk to ChatGPT.”He added that if you talk to ChatGPT about “your most sensitive stuff” and then there is a lawsuit, “we could be required to produce that.”Continue readingFirst Friends: How “Italy’s Donald Trump” Introduced Naomi Campbell to Jeffrey Epsteinby Whitney WebbWith the Trump administration having mismanaged the release of new information about the Jeffrey Epstein case, Unlimited Hangout investigates some important yet largely unknown players in the Epstein network whose close ties to Donald Trump may explain the government’s reticence to “release [all] the files.” In this first installment of the series, the ties of “Italy’s Donald Trump” Flavio Briatore and his former fianceé supermodel Naomi Campbell to Epstein and his broader network are explored in detail.In recent weeks the handling (or rather mishandling) of the Trump administration’s release of the “Epstein files” has splintered his base while also reviving public interest in the acts and history of Jeffrey Epstein. Claims have been made from figures like Elon Musk, a former ally turned critic after a highly publicized falling out, that Donald Trump himself is somehow implicated in the Epstein files – a term generally referring to documents the U.S. government has about the Epstein case that it has yet to publicly release. Meanwhile, some allies of Trump in politics and media have come to the president’s defense while others remain puzzled about the administration’s actions due to campaign promises of releasing these documents. Democrats in Congress, who have largely avoided discussing the Epstein case much at all in recent years, seem to smell blood in the water and are now publicly lobbying for the documents’ release.Continue readingOmega-6 Linoleic Acid in Our Food Systemby Dr. Joseph MercolaLinoleic acid (LA), a fat once rare in the human diet, now makes up as much as 25% of daily calories for many Americans and accumulates in fat tissue for years, disrupting metabolism and fueling chronic diseaseEven “clean” foods like chicken, pork, nuts, olive oil and avocado oil contain high levels of LA or are adulterated with vegetable oils, making it easy to exceed safe intake levels without realizing itLA doesn’t just stay in your fat; it breaks down into toxic compounds that damage your mitochondria, the energy factories in your cells, contributing to fatigue, insulin resistance and hormonal dysfunctionOils marketed as safer alternatives, like those from Zero Acre Farms, are genetically engineered and high in oleic acid, which causes similar mitochondrial damage and should also be avoidedContinue readingHow Your Diet Shapes the Way Your Skin Agesby Dr. Joseph MercolaYour skin is a layered, responsive organ that reflects your health status and daily choices. Diet plays a major role in its aging, hydration, repair, and structural resilienceChronological aging is shaped by internal processes, while photoaging results from external stressors like UV exposure, pollution, and smoking, all of which degrade skin structure over timeSpecific nutrients, including vitamin C, omega-3s, carotenoids, and fermented foods, enhance skin health by strengthening collagen networks, improving hydration, and supporting antioxidant defensesDiets high in trans fats, sugars, refined carbs, and additives accelerate visible aging by fueling glycation, disrupting the microbiome, and weakening the skin’s repair capacitySunlight is often blamed for skin aging, but the real issue is how your skin is nutritionally primed; a poor diet, especially one that’s high in linoleic acid (LA), makes your skin more vulnerable to UV damageContinue readingMississippi: The Unlimited Dreams Christian School Is Tuition-Free and Helps Children with Literacyby Christian Broadcasting Network and HGTVDr. Amanda Cooley operated a daycare and after-school program in her hometown of Laurel, Mississippi. But when she made the troubling discovery that a child in 3rd grade could not read, she and her mother, a retired school teacher, began tutoring the child and other young students who were also struggling. She has been far more successful at educating children than government schools.Cooley opened the Unlimited Dreams Christian Learning Center in 2020. A series of financial miracles, including the donation of a large renovated house, valued at $500,000, enabled Cooley to help better educate the 120 students, grades K-12, who now attend the school.For years, Dr. Amanda Cooley operated a daycare and after-school program in her hometown of Laurel, MS. But that changed after she made a troubling discovery when talking with an older sibling of one of the children in her care.Continue readingEnd Game: Netanyahu Now Plans To Annex Gaza, Bowing To Extremist Members Of Coalitionby CBS and ZeroHedgePalestinians in in Gaza are starving and dying as a result of Israel’s blockade on food and aid. Critics say that the air drops and meager food deliveries are cosmetic.Israeli news outlet Haaretz reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to propose a plan by which Israel will begin claiming parts of Gaza to be Israeli territory. The scheme is aimed at preventing his extremist ruling coalition from splintering and is said to have Trump’s backing. Eventually, all of Gaza will be claimed as Israeli land, fulfilling the wishes of extremist ministers who are vital to Netanyahu’s ruling coalition.Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich told a settler conference in May that “Gaza will be totally destroyed,” with all 2.3 million residents “concentrated” in the extreme south, where they will be “totally despairing” with “no hope” and “looking for relocation to begin a new life in other places.”Continue readingThe Modern SlaveEtienne Note: This is the topic of my new book, To See the Cage is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many, where I break down how it is actually worse than described by Joshua. We haven’t published it yet because we are about to sell out of the book, but you can see an interview that I did on this with James Corbett that he just published to the Corbett Report Here: https://corbettreport.substack.com/p/how-to-leave-the-cage-solutionswatchby Joshua Stylman”The best way to keep a prisoner from escaping is to make sure he never knows he’s in prison.” —Fyodor DostoyevskyMost people hear ‘modern slavery’ and picture trafficking victims or sweatshop workers—suffering that’s clearly visible, obviously wrong, and comfortably distant from their daily lives. What if the most effective slavery in history isn’t hidden—but public, celebrated, and defended by the very people it enslaves?Continue readingThe Climate Alarmism Grift is Dyingby Tim LynchLast week, the BBC reminded us that we have just three years left to drastically reduce all CO2 emissions, or we risk crossing the dreaded 1.5°C warming limit set by the Paris Agreement. A persistent feature of the degreed managerial class is their arrogant refusal to learn from their past flawed predictions. Dire warnings of climate catastrophe have shaped global policy, media narratives, and public perception, resulting in the waste of hundreds of billions of dollars on technology that does not work. Predictions by climate ‘experts’ of submerged cities, the end of snow, vanishing ice caps, and dead coral formations never materialize.Thinking that highly credentialed Ivy League professors would use science and math to destroy the man-made climate change narrative was not plausible a year ago. Yet, in this new cultural zeitgeist created after the implosion of the Democratic Party, the impossible is now possible.Continue readingNEW STUDY: Nearly Half of Nuclear‑Armed Leaders Governed with Severe Mental or Physical IllnessEtienne Note: Another example of why “government” is the worst way to organize society #Voluntaryism for the win!by Nicolas Hulscher, MPHA new peer‑reviewed study titled, The frequently impaired health of leaders of nuclear weapon states: an analysis of 51 deceased leaders, has revealed a chilling truth: 45% of past leaders of nuclear‑armed nations since the dawn of the atomic age had health conditions that could impair judgment — some while holding sole authority to launch nuclear weapons.The study analyzed the biographies of 51 deceased leaders from the U.S., Russia/Soviet Union, China, UK, France, India, Pakistan, Israel, and North Korea:Prevalence of impairment: Almost half (45%) had serious health conditions while in power.Death in office: 17% died from chronic illness while still leading, often after years of declining capacity.Continue readingRanked: 25 Richest Countries in the World, by Three MetricsBy Pallavi Rao Graphics/Design: Amy KuoLuxembourg’s immense GDP per capita ($141K) masks the fact that much of it is generated by non-residents who commute in to work.Qatar’s oil windfall lifts GDP per capita ($72K) but that hasn’t translated into broader wealth.English-speaking countries translate middling GDP per capita into high median wealth through property ownership and strong pension systems.Generating national wealth and distributing it to people are distinctly different economic challenges.Previously when we’ve covered 25 richest countries, we did so by GDP per capita alone. As a result, tiny states and global city-states tended to dominate the top of the rankings.Continue readingMonero’s 51% Attack: Centralization vs Decentralization at the hands of an AI Coinby Take Back Our TechFor the first time ever, a coin has openly announced its intention to 51% attack none other than Monero, the world’s most popular privacy coin. We’re about to see a centralized tightly controlled cryptocurrency that normally trains AI fight against another that embraces decentralization and privacy to its very core. We’ll discuss why this is so important, and whether its even possible for the attack to succeed.Its the private by default cryptocurrency that is loved by many for its extreme privacy features, friendly community, and being easy to use and mine. Blockchain surveillance firms have failed to trace Monero, and we’ve documented this at length on #TBOT in our article “IRS Attempts To Trace Monero”.The attacking project “Qubic” is now devoting all of its computing power to attempt to takeover Monero, by ordering its miners to mine Monero, effectively acting as a botnet.Continue readingUpcoming Liberty EventsTeslaTech Extraordinary Technology Conference – August 6 to 10, 2025 – Albuquerque, NMFloating Man – 7-10 August 2025 – Apatin, Serbia, at the ARK Liberland VillageRon Paul’s Birthday BBQ – August 9th – Lake Jackson, TX (USA)Anarcon – Sept 26th-28th – Gore, VALiberpulco – 4-6 September 2025 – Liberland Ark Village, Apatin, SerbiaMises Institute Supporters Summit 2025 – October 16th-18th, 2025 – Even’s LibertyFree State Bitcoin – DIGITAL ASSETS CONFERENCE – Save the date: October 12th, 2025 at Wentworth by the Sea, NH!Free Cities Conference: Returning to Prague – October 31st to November 2nd, 2025 – EventCHD 2025 Conference – November 7th-9th – Austin, TXMemes BonanzaTruth Music of the WeekGET OFF THE PHONE [Life]Discover a Sound That Hits Different 🎶This track on BitChute delivers raw energy and emotion in every beat.

The full transcript AND all my slides from the presentation AND most of the memes from the presentation AND many of the videos mentioned in the presentation! James Corbett: Welcome back, friends. Welcome back to the Corbett Report. I’m James Corbett of CorbettReport.com, coming to you in July of 2025 with another edition of Solutions Watch. And this time, we’re going to be following up, in a sense, on a previous conversation that I had here on Solutions Watch that was quite popular at the time. It was from March of 2021, and it was called How to Present Info for Visual Learners. And if you have seen, or even if you want to re-familiarize yourself with that edition of Solutions Watch, I will, of course, put it in the show notes so that you can watch or re-watch it, or listen or re-listen to it, where I talked to author Etienne de la Boetie2, obviously a pen name, about his then current book, “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History…Exposed!There was a lot of positive feedback to that conversation. In fact, as I understand it, the “Corbett Bump” from that conversation actually overwhelmed his servers and took down his website for a day or two, and he quickly sold out of a print run, if I understand all of that correctly. Well, today we are going to be talking to Etienne de Boetie2 about his new book, called To See the Cage Is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many, and, of course, the link to this book will be in the show notes for today’s conversation. But let’s bring him on the program: Etienne de la Boetie2, thank you for joining us again.Etienne connecting from Memphis, TN to James Corbett in JapanEtienne de la Boetie2: Hi, it is good to be with you, and your audience once again, James.James Corbett: Yes, it is good to be here and talking about something that I think is ultimately empowering and powerful. What am I talking about specifically? Not just a book, but, like our last conversation, we were talking about “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History…Exposed! in which you laid out not just the nuts and bolts of the biggest scam in history, but also as we discussed in that conversation, presented that information in a visual style that is bound to get attention and to get people, even the attention-deficit-addled TikTok generation, interested in flipping through the pages. A perfect coffee table book, if you will. Well, here we are, talking about your next book, To See the Cage Is to Leave It. Tell us about this book, what it is, and why you wrote it.Etienne de la Boetie2: Sure. Well, the full title is To See the Cage Is to Leave It: 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many. And one of the big reveals of the book is that organized crime, government, and their henchmen in the monopoly media are running a variety of unethically manipulative techniques—not just to get the population to go along obediently, but to really indoctrinate the idea of having a government as a religion.They’re using the same tricks and techniques that an unethically manipulative religion or cult would use on its victims. Many of these are being done surreptitiously and in tricky ways. A lot of things that people may have seen in movies or on television without realizing there was a trick behind them, I’m exposing in this book.I’m doing so in a very visual way that visual learners can grasp, allowing them to quickly have that moment of insight. I’ve created a kind of picture book that expands the number of people who will engage with it. Unfortunately, with a text-only book, you might get 10 to 15 percent engagement from the population. But what we’ve discovered at the Art of Liberty Foundation is that if you make it visually rich—with lots of memes, visualizations, historical photos, and similar content it dramatically expands the number of people who will engage with it.This book is designed for your friends, family, colleagues, and loved ones. Once you pick it up, you just can’t put it down, and the information comes at you in a way that’s easily absorbed.END FREE PREVIEW What is Behind the Paywall Today?

PLUS Crow Qu’appelle, founder of Nevermore, Was Severely Injured and is in Need of Help!Dear Subscribers,My apologies for being late in getting last week’s issue out…. I got slammed getting ready for an appearance on the Corbett Report that I shot last night. James Corbett recently featured my new book: To See the Cage is to Leave It – 25 Techniques that the Few Use to Control the Many in his 2025 Summer Reading List and last night he interviewed me about the book.The interview should post tomorrow so if you have been thinking about getting a copy of the book then I suggest you act now. After he interviewed me about “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed!, the interview generated a tidal wave of sales that crashed our website. Orders poured in from around the world every couple of seconds. We sold out immediately, ordered hundreds more books, sold out again, and again, and again. After the initial wave of books arrived and were read, we had people reordering our Five and Ten Copy “Friends Bundles” for their friends, family, and colleagues which would result in another wave of sales a little smaller than the wave before. It eventually petered out after a month or so. We are braced for impact… You can beat the rush atOtherCrow Qu’appelle, the founder of Nevermore Media, was severely injured right before the birth of his first child.

Now, a new study has found that there are four practices that can significantly help different aspects of sleep disorders, without medical or therapy-based intervention. And they’re all cost-free.An international team of researchers led by the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine investigated 22 randomized controlled trials involving 1,348 adults with an average age of 50 years. The researchers’ aim was to see which exercises might work best for specific sleep issues: Falling asleep, staying asleep, sleep quality, duration and daytime tiredness.The studies generally spanned eight to 12 weeks, and the workouts were around 30-90 minutes each, two to five times a week.What they found was that there was no one practice that came out in front; instead, four types of exercise were able to directly impact sleep, but in different ways.Continue readingNeighbors take back Southeast Portland street, replacing RVs with community gardenby Steve DunnPORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — A Southeast Portland neighborhood taking matters into their own hands after they say criminal activity on their street became too much.For Joanne Benson and Christopher Carter-Tully, their neighborhood, right next to the I-205 bike trail, is blossoming. Silver troughs, filled with various plants line Southeast Washington Street. Even the bees seem happy.”Look at this one. Isn’t that lovely?” said Benson, referring to the bountiful plants.Lovely, yes. But it hasn’t always been that way. In fact, very recently, their Montavilla neighborhood looked a lot different. Homeless RV’s lined the street, but neighbors told KATU it was more than that.Before the planters were installed, the neighborhood along Southeast Washington Street looked a lot different. Homeless RV’s lined the street, but neighbors told KATU it was the criminal activity that prompted action. (KATU)Continue readingPublic Employees Are Not Underpaidby Mariana TrujilloIt is commonly believed that public employees and teachers earn less than their counterparts in the private sector, and this compensation disparity is undermining the ability of government employers to retain staff and recruit talent. This assertion often leads to demands for either increased pension benefits or higher salaries. The general public and policymakers have embraced this statement as an unquestioned fact, even though it is not. On average, public employees earn 42% more than private sector employees. But averages are not very meaningful in this context. The public sector is more white-collar than the private sector. A larger share of public employees hold college and graduate degrees than those in the private sector. Therefore, it is expected that the average public employee would earn more than the average private sector employee.Continue readingLucid – American Made EV -Faster Than A FerrariBy Ben Shimkus, Consumer Reporter For Dailymail.ComA garage attendant eased a fully charged car out of the parking lot.’My guy,’ he said, slowing to a stop beside me after threading the Lucid Air Grand Touring past a Rolls-Royce, a Land Rover, and a Mercedes-Benz.’This car is special.’I agree. The Lucid Air is about as close to perfect as a car gets.Lucid Motors is a California-based EV startup founded by former Tesla engineers.Backed by Saudi and Uber investments and building its cars in Arizona, Lucid aims to take on legacy automakers like Mercedes and Audi — with Tesla-beating tech under the hood.From the outside, the electric sedan’s understated body lines, elegant LED lighting, and athletic stance give it a quietly luxurious presence.Inside, the windshield stretches up and over the driver’s head, uninterrupted by a roof seam until just behind the front-row headrests. The elongated window floods the cabin with light and emphasizes the car’s minimalist but refined interior.Continue readingSymbiotic Systems – Narrowband LED Grow Lights Dramatically Improve Plant Yields and Nutritionby Agribusinessreview.comIndoor farming has long promised a revolutionary approach to agriculture, offering controlled environments for growing crops regardless of weather or climate. However, the industry has been hindered by outdated lighting systems that rely on broad-spectrum illumination, attempting to replicate natural sunlight rather than optimizing for plant biology. Traditional high-pressure sodium (HPS) and full-spectrum LED systems waste energy by emitting wavelengths that plants either don’t use efficiently or actively filter out. These systems fail to account for the fact that plants don’t require uniform light exposure, but instead respond to specific wavelengths at different growth stages.Symbiotic Systems, founded by Paul Bhola, is pioneering an adaptive lighting technology that uses narrowband LED systems to specifically stimulate plant responses. With patented dynamic lighting and AI-driven controls, Symbiotic Systems enhances yield, reduces operational costs, and improves crop quality by stimulating the plants to produce outcomes using the plant’s own growth systems.Continue readingNew AI-Designed Paint for Roofs Could Cool Buildings by Up to 36°F – Slashing AC Use and Carbon Emissionsby Good News NetworkIn a development that could reduce the emissions that exacerbate humanity’s climate crisis, an international team of engineers may have created the whitest coating yet—with the help of artificial intelligence.Their new thermal coating could reduce energy bills significantly by keeping buildings cooler, according to research from the University of Texas-Austin, National University of Singapore, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and Umea University in Sweden.Their AI approach for creating complex materials that are ‘three-dimensional thermal meta-emitters’ resulted in 1,500 different materials that can selectively emit heat at various levels and in different manners—making them ideal for energy efficiency through more precise cooling and heating.“Our machine learning framework represents a significant leap forward in the design of thermal meta-emitters,” said Professor Yuebing Zheng, in the Texas school’s mechanical engineering department, and co-leader of the study published in Nature.Continue readingThe Golden Idol Machineby Joshua StylmanThe other day, I found my high school yearbook. My kids were flipping through it, laughing at old photos and hairstyles, and one of them paused, surprised. “You and your friends were in all these clubs?” Debate, theater, student council, wrestling—page after page of awkward group photos and teenage optimism.It made me smile. I hadn’t thought about that version of myself in a long time. I told them the truth: I joined everything, not because I had it all figured out, but because I didn’t. When you’re a kid, you need spaces like that—launching pads for connection, experiments in identity. Trying things on. Figuring out where you fit, and just as often, where you don’t.These days, I’ve taken on more of the Groucho Marx philosophy—I’d never join a club that would have me as a member—but back then, those communities mattered. They were real. Messy. Human. They involved showing up, in person, with all your imperfections. There were no filters. No followers. No likes.Continue reading”Effective Immediately”: Shipping Line Suspends EV Cargo Due To Lithium Battery Fire Concernsby Tyler DurdenU.S. shipping and navigation services company Matson surprised customers in recent days by announcing new policies that halt all electric vehicle shipments due to the fire risk posed by lithium-ion batteries. This comes after the Morning Midas—a RoRo carrier transporting EVs and hybrids—erupted in flames early last month in the Pacific and subsequently sank.Shipping news website The Maritime Executive reports that Matson abruptly suspended the transport of EVs and plug-in hybrids, citing growing safety concerns over lithium-ion battery fires in a letter to clients. The new shipping policy took effect immediately and impacts trade routes across the U.S. mainland, Hawaii, Alaska, and Guam.”Due to increasing concern for the safety of transporting vehicles powered by large lithium-ion batteries, Matson is suspending acceptance of used or new electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid vehicles for transport aboard its vessels. Effective immediately, we have ceased accepting new bookings for these shipments to/from all trades,” the letter stated.Continue readingUnacknowledged False Flags: The October 7th Hamas Attack – Part 3by Iain DavisThe purpose and scope of the Unacknowledged False Flag Substack series is explained HERE.In Part 1 we looked at the official account of the October 7th Hamas Attack. In Part 2 we examined the official narrative claiming the attack came as a complete surprise to the Israeli authorities who, as a result, were not prepared to defend the people living, working and partying on the Israeli side of the “Iron Wall.”In Part 1 we remarked on Hamas’ incredible military feat. Hamas—primarily the Hamas’ al-Qassam Brigades and its elite Nukhba Squads, plus a contingent of Islamic Jihad’s al-Quds Brigades—breached the Iron Wall in 29 locations simultaneously. They took out all the automated defences and vital observation and early warning systems, and then proceeded to overrun and hold key military installations. Hamas took the Erez Crossing, the Nahal Oz military base, the Sufa outpost, and the IDF bases close to the Be’eri and Kerem Shalom kibbutzim. The most strategically important base they held was the Re’im military base—home to the primary Israeli defensive force in the region, the IDF Gaza Division.Continue readingUNSEEN: The Truth Behind Death Protocolsby David A. HughesI am reuploading this new hard-hitting documentary by Jacqui Deevoy and Richie Brown ofDiplomatic Postto help increase its visibility for when it gets censored by YouTube.Since 2020, Deevoy has been investigating practices of involuntary euthanasia in the UK. In 2021, she produced the documentary A Good Death? (Ickonic), and in 2024 she produced Playing God (Trailblazer).Her films are not an easy watch, as she hears shocking and tragic testimonies from victims’ families. Nevertheless, they are important, because they graphically confirm the return of practices previously associated with Nazi Germany, as I have written about in Wall Street, the Nazis, and the Crimes of the Deep State (pp. 32-34, 141-147).It is well known historically that state-sanctioned euthanasia in Nazi Germany (so-called “deaths of mercy”) was the thin of the edge of the wedge that led to genocide.Continue readingModerna Founder Launches Aerial-spraying of RNA to Alter Gene Expression of Cropsby UnshadowedFlagship Pioneering, creator of Moderna (and a WEF partner), has just unveiled Terrana Biosciences, providing $50mm to scale-up development of their flagship product, an RNA spray which enters the plant and alters gene expression.The company’s leadership is a “who’s who” of pharmaceutical and AgTech genetic engineering-meets-AI.“The difference with Terrana’s technology is it actually goes inside the plant. That really lets you think about solving problems differently.” (Remember this rhetoric before from Bourla and Moderna?)The CEO continues, “After being sprayed on, the RNA enters the plant through small tears in the leaves. With this method, Terrana can load in RNAs that act as ‘programmable plant vaccines’ or proteins that can aid in insect resistance or antifungal capabilities, for example.”Continue readingWill Congress give the pesticide industry a de facto liability shield?by Meryl NassIn 2013, Bayer had its 150th anniversary. It was riding high. It sent an airship and anniversary exhibition around the world to celebrate. Its stock price was 27, the highest it had been since it entered the NY stock exchange in 2002. It was bullish and interested in acquisitions.Bayer decided to go after Monsanto. According to Fortune,Bayer bought Monsanto as part of its reinvention as a life-science firm with a focus on health and agriculture. At the time the deal was proposed in 2016, the competitive landscape of the agricultural-science space was shifting dramatically—Dow and DuPont were merging, and so were ChemChina and Syngenta. Bayer wanted to become a bigger player in seeds and genetically modified crops, and Monsanto offered just that.But there were potential problems. The WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer had just reported that glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto’s most popular product, the herbicide Roundup, was a probable human carcinogen.Continue readingMigrants at Ice jail in Miami made to kneel to eat ‘like dogs’, report allegesby Richard Luscombe, theguardian.comMigrants at a Miami immigration jail were shackled with their hands tied behind their backs and made to kneel to eat food from styrofoam plates “like dogs”, according to a report published on Monday into conditions at three overcrowded south Florida facilities.The incident at the downtown federal detention center is one of a succession of alleged abuses at jails operated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (Ice) in the state since January, chronicled by the advocacy groups Human Rights Watch, Americans for Immigrant Justice, and Sanctuary of the South from interviews with detainees.Dozens of men had been packed into a holding cell for hours, the report said, and denied lunch until about 7pm. They remained shackled with the food on chairs in front of them.Continue readingWhy the US govt really stopped the case against Dr. Kirk Moore–an extraordinary interview with Sasha Latypovaby Dr. Peter and Ginger BregginPodcast: Play in new window | Download | EmbedDr. Kirk Moore is a hero of the COVID wars. He administered saline shots instead of COVID vaccines to his patients and issued vaccine cards to them, allowing them to continue with their work or school. In doing so, Dr. Moore preserved the health of his patients and fulfilled his Hippocratic Oath to do no harm. He was subsequently charged by the Biden administration in 2023 with violating laws that resulted in “sabotaging” the rollout of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. Appeals to the new Trump administration to pardon the doctor or dismiss the case were ignored, and the trial moved forward.Jury selection was done, and the discovery phase had begun. The trial had gone on for one week. Officials were being interrogated on the witness stand. Colleagues, patients, friends, and patriots filled the courtroom, and a growing awareness of this ongoing travesty of justice was evident through social media.Continue readingMetal bottle caps ‘surprising’ source of microplastic contamination, study findsby Tom Perkins, theguardian.comMetal bottle caps can be a significant source of microplastic contamination in beverages, a new peer-reviewed study by France’s food safety agency finds.Researchers compared microplastic levels in beer, water, wine and soft drinks, and found the substance in all samples, but liquid in glass jars showed the highest levels. The surprising source of the contamination – a polyester-based paint on the glass bottles’ metal caps.The findings were “very surprising”, said Alexandre Dehaut, a study co-author with the French agency for food, environmental and occupational health and safety.“Caps were suspected to be the main source of contamination, as the majority of particles isolated in beverages were identical to the color of caps and shared the composition of the outer paint,” the authors wrote in the study.Continue readingGrave Nation: Ukrainian Cemetery Mega-Project Reveals Dimming Military HopesEtienne Note: Warfare is eugenics… “The Covid” was/is eugenics… The organized crime “governments” of the world are taking their Alpha males with the courage to fight and killing them off vs. the Alpha males of other goverments so all that is left are Beta males with no courage to resist the conscription and tax farming of the REAL enemies: The inter-generational organized crime families using “government” to rob and control their populations….by SimpliciusA new Le Monde article sends spider cracks through the facade of Ukrainian losses:Right off the bat, they reveal that cemeteries throughout Ukraine are full, requiring a national project of building a large-scale network of new military burial sites:The squares reserved for the soldiers are full.

The government has also argued that controversial changes to the nation’s telecommunications laws are designed to bridge the so-called “digital divide”, referring to the limited access to internet and cellular service in rural areas compared to urban environments.Mexico’s President Claudia Sheibaum has claimed that critics who have referred to the laws as a “spy law” or a “censorship law” are ignoring protections built into the new measures.“It is false, it is a lie that the laws passed have to do with the State spying. False, it is a deliberate lie,” said Sheinbaum at a July press conference.Continue readingTen Ways to Neutralize the Deep StateEtienne Note: A great article from Max Borders BUT he leaves out that “government” is illegitimate on its face. That there is no way to have a moral, logical legitimate “government.” As long as folks believe in the legitimacy of “government” they are trapped in organized crime’s rigged game where they wrote the rules and control the courts. There are thousands hacking at the branches of evil to one striking the root! We are achieving a “one-way revolution” by getting folks out of the easily rigged game of “elections” run on unauditable black box voting machines and mail-in ballots! There is definitely some gold in his article, but we need to start with exposing the illegitimacy of the system as a whole!by Max BordersThe President has appointed you U.S. Attorney General, and you have been narrowly confirmed.

Now tied with Iceland and Lithuania, the U.S. last topped the list in 2014.The London-based firm Henley & Partners, which offers consulting on residence and citizenship by investment, has compiled the rankings for nearly two decades, relying on data from the International Air Transport Association.Continue readingPresident Trump Plans to Open 401(k)s to Bitcoin, Crypto, Gold, and Private Equity: FTBy Oscar Zarraga PerezFinancial Times reported today that President Trump is preparing to sign an executive order that would allow 401(k) retirement plans to invest in alternative assets such as gold, private equity, and cryptocurrencies like bitcoin.“Donald Trump is preparing to open the $9tn US retirement market to cryptocurrency investments, gold, and private equity in a move that would spur a radical shift in the way Americans’ savings are managed,” reported the Financial Times.According to Financial Times, the order is expected this week and will direct federal regulators to remove barriers preventing 401(k) plans from including these non-traditional investments in managed funds. This includes digital assets, metals, private loans, infrastructure deals, and corporate buyout funds.“President Trump is committed to restoring prosperity for everyday Americans and safeguarding their economic future,” said the White House in a statement to the Financial Times. “No decisions should be deemed official, however, unless they come from President Trump himself.”Continue reading”There’s No Nothing”: Empty Shelves, Rotten Odors Plague Gov’t-Funded Supermarket In Missouriby Tyler DurdenOne of the dozen or so socialist policy proposals from NYC Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani is the creation of government-funded grocery stores.While the Democratic Party increasingly embraces socialist and Marxist-leaning policies, such as the seizure of private property, this idea of government-funded grocery stores appears disconnected from both fundamental economic realities and historical precedent.Nowhere is this more evident than in East Kansas City, where a nonprofit operates a grocery store on government land that has become a symbol of failure, plagued by the smell of rot and empty shelves.Local media outlet KSHB 41 Kansas City toured Sun Fresh Market at 3110 Wabash Ave (31st & Prospect) on the city’s Eastside. The store opened in 2018 as part of a multi-million dollar public-private revitalization of the Linwood Shopping Center. Operated by Community Builders of Kansas City, a nonprofit focused on urban development, the store has since become a massive reminder that while socialism may sound great on paper, in practice, it can be an absolute disaster.Continue readingDr. Mercola: What if Fixing Your Sleep Was the Missing Key to Reversing Chronic Disease?by Dr. Joseph MercolaSleep health extends beyond duration; it includes timing, quality and regularity; poor sleep patterns are linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke and metabolic disordersBoth short (under seven hours) and long (over nine hours) sleep durations are associated with higher rates of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular problemsIrregular sleep schedules and poor sleep quality damage health as much as not sleeping enough hours, triggering inflammation and disrupting biological processesSimple interventions like maintaining complete darkness in your bedroom, getting morning sunlight, limiting blue light exposure at night and keeping your bedroom cool significantly improves sleep qualityImprovements in blood pressure, blood sugar control and inflammation often begin within weeks of establishing more consistent and restorative sleep patternsContinue readingSurvey Reveals “Seismic Shift” As More Parents Reject Vaccine Scheduleby Tyler DurdenA new survey published in the JAMA Network by researchers at Emory University and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found that an increasing number of pregnant women and new mothers are delaying, or even outright refusing, government-recommended vaccines that hospitals and pediatricians push on newborns and young kids. The findings come just ahead of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s much-anticipated announcement on what the federal agency believes to be the root cause of the autism spike in children ahead of the fall school season.Titled “Vaccination Intentions During Pregnancy and Among Parents of Young Children,” researchers found that 33% of parents with children under age 5 intend to delay or refuse some or all government-recommended vaccines. In contrast, only 4% of first-time pregnant women reported plans to delay or refuse all recommended vaccines.Continue readingWill an Iran Cyber Attack Panic Usher In a New Patriot Act?by Mises Wire, Nicholas DeSimoneIn a 2007 interview, retired General Wesley Clark revealed that the Pentagon had a plan to “take out seven countries in five years”—Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran. Over the following two decades, the first six were bombed, destabilized, or collapsed into civil war. Only Iran remains standing—resistant to Western central banking, culturally hostile to global usury, and guarding some of the world’s most ancient archeological sites.Now, major media outlets such as Fox News and the Independent warn of a looming cyberwar, and we’re told to brace for a potential Iranian cyberattack on the US or its allies, aimed at critical infrastructure such as power and water systems. But rather than ask how to defend against it, we should ask something more: Is Iran really the culprit? Or is it the designated scapegoat for an event designed to advance elite control both abroad and at home?Continue readingCalifornia’s Fraudulent “Disaster Recovery” Is a Land Grabby Edward Ring via American Greatness,Remember Gavin Newsom’s first visit to the sites of devastating fires last January in Los Angeles, when he vowed to streamline California’s paralytic regulations so people could quickly rebuild their homes?In that interview, while undulating his shoulders in a weird shimmy that will undoubtedly come back to haunt him as he ramps up his presidential campaigning, Newsom also promised to “prevent opportunistic investors from exploiting vulnerable residents by offering below-market prices.”It’s hard to say which promise has been more thoroughly violated. As celebrity author Adam Carolla posted on 7/14, there is virtually no work going on along the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, where hundreds of homes burned down to the sand. This is typical.The Palisades Fire, with a burn area that included Malibu, destroyed over 6,000 homes. So far, 161 permits have been issued by the City of Los Angeles. The community of Altadena, which was consumed by the Eaton Fire, lost over 9,000 homes.

Etienne’s Book: To See the Cage Is to Leave It, Makes James Corbett’s Summer Reading List!
Discover 25 Techniques the Few Are Using to Control the Many! By James Corbett of the Corbett ReportIt’s summer, so you know what that means: it’s time for a summer reading list!No, not an AI-hallucinated fake summer reading list. It’s the dinosaur media idiots who are publishing that crap.No, I’m talking about a good old conspiracy realist reading list . . . with a couple of fun books thrown in for good measure. So, get out the beach towel and get ready to curl up with a good book!And now, in addition to:my New World Order Reading List;the tour of my bookshelf;the Liberty Weekly book recommendation roundtable;the WWI book recommendation podcast;the book-off with Richard Grove;Another 25 Books You Should Read;Your Summer Reading List (2021);Another Another 25 Books You Should Read;the Mass Media Reading List;and the False Flag Reading List . . .. . . I present ten more books to add to Your Summer Reading List (2025).Let’s go!Apple In China by Patrick McGeeInternal Apple documents show that by 2015, Apple was investing $55 billion per year in China. That’s a mind-boggling number, but in context it’s even more dramatic. Consider that the entirety of the Marshall Plan saw the US transferring $13.3 billion to rebuild Europe after WWII.So, why has Apple been pumping so much money into communist China? When did this relationship start? How did it develop? And what are the implications of that relationship for the global economy?Apple In China is the kind of book you don’t realize you’re interested in reading until you read it. The stories behind the production of some of Apple’s most iconic products—the iMac, the iPhone, the iPad—are fascinating enough, but when those stories are placed in the larger geoeconomic context of the rise of China as a manufacturing juggernaut, they’re even more fascinating.Naturally, author Patrick McGee does not scratch below the surface of the Chicom story to connect it to the larger picture of why and how China was built up as the New Cold War bogeyman. But, if you fill in this book’s missing pieces with Corbett Report podcasts and articles like “China and the New World Order,” “The Great Decoupling: How the West is Engineering its Own Downfall” and “China’s Suspiciously American Arsenal: A Closer Look,” Apple In China can be a useful data point to add further detail to the story of the engineered rise of China.Hijacking Bitcoin by Roger Ver with Steve PattersonHijacking Bitcoin was published on April 5, 2024. Less than one month later, the US Justice Department unsealed an indictment of author Roger Ver for “tax evasion” and had him arrested in Spain. So, what was it about this book that upset Uncle Sam enough to go nuclear on its author? You’ll have to read the book to find out, but suffice it to say, if you haven’t followed the blockchain wars, you’re in for a wild ride.Hijacking Bitcoin is not merely a thorough exploration of the years-long campaign of manipulation, propaganda and censorship that perverted the bitcoin project from its original vision, it’s a first-person account by one of bitcoin’s earliest proponents.What is Blockstream and how is it funded? Who is “John Dillon” and who is “Theymos”? Who is Henri de Castries, and what does his relationship to the Bilderberg Group have to do with this twisted tale? You’ll find out in these pages. And you should probably do so before Roger Ver wins his suit to block his extradition to the US (or before he loses and gets thrown in jail for daring to go against the stablecoin-promoting Big Tech monopolists) so that you better understand this important case.Right-Wing Collectivism: The Other Threat to Liberty by Jeffrey TuckerWritten in 2017, just as the political pendulum shift was moving the “anti-establishment” energy back toward the right side of the phoney left/right political spectrum, Right-Wing Collectivism is Jeffrey Tucker’s valuable reminder that collectivist ideology is always dangerous—not only when it’s in the hands of those evil lefty commies.After observing that “[l]iberty has no horizontal relationship to authoritarianism,” Tucker contextualizes the recent rise of the modern right-wing populist movements around the world by doing a deep dive into the history of right-wing collectivist philosophy. Exploring the development of this philosophy from Fichte and Ruskin to Chamberlin and Gentile, this book shows how these philosophers’ “right-Hegelian” thought is in many ways a mirror of the “left-Hegelian” thought of the Marxists and neo-Marxists that they supposedly oppose.Perhaps even more importantly, Tucker offers a stirring defense of the word “liberal,” describing how it has been deliberately co-opted by modern-day leftists to deracinate freedom-lovers from the rich philosophical tradition of their own movement. Having been detached from the now co-opted word “liberal,” these opponents of collectivism and authoritarianism have been grouped under a tent called “conservatism.” There, as Tucker so memorably puts it, “[g]enuine liberals were supposed to find a home alongside warmongers, prohibitionists, religious authoritarians, and cultural fascists.”As with so many books of this sort, the greatest tragedy is that the very people who would most benefit from it are the least likely to read it. Hopefully that doesn’t apply to you.After the Spike: Population, Progress, and the Case for People by Dean Spears and Michael GerusoTo be fair, if you’re a dedicated Corbett Reporteer, this book isn’t for your reading list. It’s for the reading lists of your well-meaning friends.That is to say: if you understand that anthropogenic global warming is a cynical hoax fostered by oligarchs to perfect their control over the natural resources of the planet; and if you recognize that so-called mRNA “vaccines” are in fact dangerous gene therapy being foisted on us by technocrats who are out to re-engineer the human species; and if you see through the lies of Ehrlich and the other Malthusians who have sold you the population bomb lie in the face of the underpopulation bomb reality; and if you know all about Julian Simon’s revelation of The Ultimate Resource—if, in short, you are a clued in, switched-on conspiracy realist—then this book is not for you.Rather, this book is for your normie friends who have yet to discover those truths and have bought into the lies of the overpopulation doom-mongers.In After the Spike, Spears and Geruso do an excellent job of explaining the demographic crisis that is engulfing the world and what it means for the future of humanity.They break down the plunging fertility rate numbers, put them in their historical context, and demonstrate that the era of an expanding human population is coming to an end.They show how the demographic crunch is baked into the cake and demonstrate how government interventions of various sorts have had no observable effects on long-term population trends.They show how the depopulationists’ fantasy that the number of humans on the planet will reach some magical equilibrium and stabilize at some smaller number is wishful thinking and that, barring some profound change of course, the collapse of civilization and the end of the species is a more likely result.They refute myths about the supposed benefits of a shrinking population and show how a larger population is in fact good for the planet.. . . But they do this by appealing to the normiest of sensibilities. According to the authors, global warming is totally real and super serious, but we shouldn’t worry, because population size isn’t tied to carbon footprint. They believe amazing inventions like mRNA vaccines are only possible because we have a large enough population to support research in such cutting-edge technologies. And they contend that we wouldn’t be able to rely on smartphones and other useful gadgets in a shrinking world, since industrial activity is predicated on having enough people to make worldwide supply chains viable.So, you see my conundrum. This is a valuable book for countering the types of arguments that your normie friends might be making against the Go Forth and Multiply imperative . . . but I’d recommend it to someone in my audience only if he or she can read past the authors’ mainstream sensibilities and find the more important truths buried underneath.One Nation Under Blackmail by Whitney WebbGiven recent events, it might be worth your time to read (or re-read) Whitney Webb’s magnum opus on the Epstein scandal, One Nation Under Blackmail.Spanning two volumes, this incredibly thorough tome charts the confluence of intelligence agencies and organized crime in blackmailing politicians, from “Lucky” Luciano and “Operation Underworld” in the 1940s straight through to Epstein and Maxwell and associates in the early 21st century. Along the way, Webb provides encyclopedic detail on a truly mind-boggling number of people and organizations. One look at the index will reveal the hundreds of businessmen, bankers, gunrunners, politicians and other lowlifes who populate these pages and help flesh out the story of Epstein.Crucially, in Volume 2, Webb demonstrates how modern technology (“From PROMIS to Palantir”) is rendering obsolete the blackmail networks of old, thus potentially explaining why Epstein was thrown under the bus in 2019.No matter how much you think you know about the Epstein network, you don’t know half of what Webb reveals in this book. And that knowledge is power, because, as she rightly reminds us in her conclusion, only true knowledge of this dark subject will lead us to the path of non-compliance that will purge this sick, parasitical, extortionist class from the body politic.Temple of Solomon by Jacob NordangårdViewers of my recent interviews with Jacob Nordangård will by now have a sense of what is covered in Temple of Solomon—namely, how a centuries-long occult plan for creating a utopian world state is coming to fruition thanks to modern-day technology.As one might expect from a book so explicitly about the occult, the book provides information on famous occultists like John Dee, Alistair Crowley, Madame Blavatsky, Alice Bailey and Annie Besant as well as on occult organizations like the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the Ordo Templi Orienti, the Theosophical Society and the Lucis Trust. It also discusses a raft of occultic concepts, from The Rosicrucian Enlightenment and Thelema to The Seven Rays and The Great Invocation.Even more crucially, it shows how these people and their philosophies and teachings have helped shape the work of technologists and technocrats like Alvin Toffler and William Shockley and Nick Bostrom and others who are helping to bring about the “World Brain” and the “noosphere,” which will begin “the next spiral of the journey toward becoming a planetary autotroph.”Suffice it to say, the story of the “Fourth Industrial Revolution” and the coming planetary Great Reset are far weirder (and more sinister) than you might have imagined.Thankfully, though, this book is not merely a tale of woe. It ends with Nordangård’s personal assessment of why this technocratic world state is doomed to fail.And, as if all that isn’t enough, this print-only volume comes with a CD of Nordangård’s band, Wardenclyffe, performing songs that he wrote specifically to explore the ideas and themes elaborated in the book.Part art project, part history lesson, part dire warning, part hopeful message, Temple of Solomon is bound to be the most unique book at whatever poolside party you attend this summer!To See The Cage is to Leave It by Etienne de la Boetie2Do you remember back in 2021, when I talked to Etienne de la Boetie2 about his book, Government — The Biggest Scam in History? So popular was that edition of #SolutionsWatch that Etienne’s book completely sold out, and his website crashed.Well, if you liked that book, you’re going to love this book! Similar to The Biggest Scam in History, To See The Cage Is To Leave It is a visual feast, using powerful pictures, memorable memes and interesting infographics to keep even the most attention-deficient modern-day readers engaged.But, since a picture is worth a thousand words, allow me to show you what this book is like rather than tell you what it’s like. This page demonstrates Technique #20 in the list of “25 Techniques the Few Use to Control The Many”:If this type of presentation appeals to your style of learning, then what are you waiting for? Add this book your your pail before you head off to the beach this summer!Ficciones by Jorge Luis BorgesAs a dedicated Corbett Reporteer, you have, of course, read (or heard me read) “The Library of Babel,” the mind-bending story of an infinite library (and the books contained in it) by Jorge Luis Borges, the great 20th-century short story writer and essayist from Argentina.But have you followed that cookie crumb trail back to its source and devoured the entirety of Borges’ work?Have you learned how the conjunction of a mirror and an encyclopedia lead to the discovery of “Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius”?Have you discovered how “Pierre Menard, Author of The ‘Quixote'” managed to rewrite significant portions of Don Quixote without having read the original?Have you marvelled at “The Secret Miracle” that was granted Jaromir Hladik at the time of his execution and the fantastical act of literary creation he accomplished in that year-long split second?If not, can you really say you have lived at all? No, I dare say you can’t.Short stories long: this is a good book if you’re looking for a collection of brain-teasing short stories. . . . Or are they fictional essays? Whatever! Read them!Seeing by José SaramagoWhat if you held an election and no one came? Astute Corbett Reporteers with an elephant’s memory might recall that this was the premise behind my (underappreciated, if I do say so myself) 2015 presentation on How To Free Your Tax Cattle!Little did I know at the time of my presentation that Nobel Prize-winning author José Saramago had used a very similar thought experiment as the launching point for his 2004 novel, Ensaio sobre a Lucidez (translated as Seeing and published in English in 2006). Seeing tells the story of an unidentified European nation that experiences an unusual national election: over seventy percent of the voters in the nation’s capital cast blank ballots, throwing the entire election into question. The voters are given a second chance, and this time eighty-three percent of them cast blank ballots.The first half of the book is a tour de force (or should that be “tour de farce”?) of political satire. It follows the comically inept and increasingly unhinged response of the panicked politicians to the reality of this mass voter revolt. Without giving away their reaction, I’ll just say that it includes: propaganda and media manipulation; a government-wide withdrawal from the capital city as a way to “punish” the misbehaving public; and a false flag terror incident that is immediately identified as a false flag terror incident.The second half of the book abandons this razor-sharp political satire for a more human drama. It follows three police officers who are sent into the city to investigate a lead about the supposed mastermind of this voter revolt. Saramago vividly portrays the inner conflict the police superintendent faces when he realizes he has been tasked with framing an innocent woman.In the end, this could have been one of the great works of anarchist literature if Saramago had stuck with his initial impetus and delivered a full-on political satire . . . but Jose Saramago is not that kind of writer. Still, it’s a thoroughly entertaining and thoroughly subversive tale, precisely because it doesn’t quite deliver what any reader is wanting (or even expecting). Even the way the book is written—eschewing all forms of punctuation save for the comma and the period, defying all conventions of dialogue by refusing to mark the beginning or the end of quotes or to differentiate speakers, and relying on page-long sentences and chapter-long paragraphs—is a delightful nod to the anarchy of language.NOTE: For those who decide to pick up Seeing, you should be forewarned that this is actually a sequel to Saramago’s best-known work, Ensaio sobre a Cegueira (translated as Blindness). You should probably have at least some familiarity with that story before starting in on this one.REPORTAGE: Essays on the New World Order by James CorbettOh, come on! You know I had to put this one in here, don’t you?Anyway, it’s a good book! I think you should read it! (And soon you’ll be able to read it in hardcover or listen to it in audiobook form!)New book by 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”.See the Press Release with more details HERE.Buy the book at SeeTheCage.comSubstack readers can get the book for FREE by “Going Paid” to ANY of the Art of Liberty Foundation’s four Substacks AND get access to all four of those Substacks!
