Boy is MAGA going to be surprised when this is turned on them in 2028! Hi Friends of the Art of Liberty Foundation,Short issue this week as I am traveling… again… the thing that has caught my attention this week is that the mask-wearing, jack-booted thugs from ICE are getting HUGE influxes of cash while even more money is being spent on interment camps for 100,000 people.. WTF?CNN Reports in their article Meet the New National Police Force:”The new law allocates $75 billion for ICE through 2029 to order as many as 10,000 new agents and to build detention facilities for more than 100,000 additional people.“It makes ICE a higher-funded law enforcement agency than the entire FBI, ATF, DEA, US Marshals Service and Bureau of Prisons combined,” Reichlin-Melnick explained, after averaging that $75 billion across the next four years, more than doubling ICE’s budget in each of those years.”The article continues…”Video of agents on horseback and in armored personnel vehicles in MacArthur Park in Los Angeles is striking both for its demonstration of militarized power and for the total inability of the city’s Mayor Karen Bass to do anything about it.“They need to leave and they need to leave right now,” she told reporters on the scene Monday.But Trump administration officials feel no need to listen to local authorities in a city like Los Angeles.“Better get used to us now, because this going to be normal very soon,” El Centro Border Patrol Sector Chief Gregory Bovino told Fox News on Monday, responding to Bass.That new normal may come as a shock to Americans unused to a federal national police force operating inside the country.So now the organized crime “government” is hiring 10,000+ new ICE enforcers in addition to 30,000 new IRS employees… Just as the information revolution is beginning to expose the illegitimacy and criminality of “government”They are going to build this militarized force under the pretense of illegal immigration… which the “government” under Biden allowed and encouraged… knowing that the conservative base around Trump (Bootlicking Statist CHUMPS!) will support the creation of a militarized police state that will ultimately be used on them… What idiots…UPDATE: So… My friend Anam Paiseanta, the founder of Connector.app and author of the voluntaryist children’s book Three Friends Free which we include with our Everything Bundle, bought out the entire remaining stock of my book at Amazon. He has been trying to give the copies away for FREE in a give away on Facebook (FEDbook). He has 4400+ friends on the platform and we have 285 shared friends but Fedbook has shown his offers to a grand total of two folks (including me!).

There has been a 500% increase in violence against ICE agents and law enforcement officers across the country. The app, created by Joshua Aaron, essentially makes federal law enforcement targets by pinpointing their location. The app is being used by over 77,000 people and gaining more each day.Federalist Assignment Editor Elle Purnell said that the ICEblock app is available on Apple’s App Store. But back in 2021, Apple refused to support Parler in its App Store, and they said that was because they would not allow anything that was related to illegal activity and they claimed that Parler had something to do with what happened on January 6. She said that it seems that Apple has no problem platforming this app, which appears to be helping illegal activity.Continue readingWhy Private Equity Is Buying Hospitals & Shutting Them Downby A More Perfect Union and PBSThere is a growing trend for private equity firms to buy companies and then bankrupt them to enrich their investors. A formula used by private equity involves buying hospitals, loading them up with debt by taking out loans that obligate the hospitals, paying off investors, and then selling the facilities and leasing the real estate back to them, resulting in the closure of hospitals. The people in the community pay the price. In addition, private equity owned physician staffing groups operate nearly one-third of all emergency departments across the country.Emergency departments are the last resort for low income and uninsured and low income people who wait for an emergency to get care. Private equity is attractive to investors because it has an average return on investment rate of 13%, compared to 8.6% in the stock market. Patients are a captive market in emergency situations. Private equity cuts costs by requiring doctors to see more patients, reducing time spent with each patient that reduces quality of care. Private equity often reduces staff and hospitals are short handed, resulting ibn long wait times. Private equity often increases billing and price gouging is the “secret” for increased profits.Continue readingMAHA-FDA are working their tushes off to make market$ for pharma!by Sasha LatypovaHappy 4th of July to my American readers! We are in the midst of a totally peaceful revolutionary war for health independence, that has sadly claimed millions of victims already. We need a Declaration of Health Independence from the cabal of poisoners, like yesterday. Speaking of which, do we have a raging bioweapon-caused pandemic yet, like we were promised by some popular freedom commentators? Or is this now an expected terror attack by Iran? Hard to keep track of what we should be terrified of. Post in comments about the deadly asymptomatic spread in your neighborhood and be on the lookout for those Iranian terrorists while enjoying your backyard BBQs. This morning I found a dead chipmunk. Does it count? He was hit by a car, but we can test him with PCR for the Fauci-Vance-Nipah-Ebola-CIA-Resilience-cov2 virus, and then RFK Jr can declare the next pandemic, and Bob Malone can slather himself in baby oil and roll in a pile of the DOD cash. I want to teleport through my now government-mandated wearable back to the innocent world before 2020 when all of this would be a dumb joke.Continue readingGenocide Convention: Liable of Arrest and Punishment. Heads of State, Heads of Government Supportive of Genocide against the People of PalestineBy Prof Michel ChossudovskyAs we recall, The Republic of South Africa —referring to Article II of the Genocide Convention–, stated that the crimes committed by the State of Israel “are genocidal in character because they are intended to bring about the destruction of a substantial part of the Palestinian national, racial and ethnical group. …”.The acts outlined by South Africa “are all attributable to [The state of] Israel, which has failed to prevent genocide and is committing genocide in manifest violation of the Genocide Convention. … “ (emphasis added)(See The Republic of South Africa’s 84 page document submitted to the ICJ)Article II of the Genocide Convention reads as follows. It esssentially defines acts of genocide, all of which apply to Palestine.In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:Continue readingThe Prosecution of Roger Ver: A Lawfare Case Studyby The Solari Report“Ver’s case features the trilogy of infamy for lawfare—novel theory of prosecution and novel application of tax law… selective prosecution… and extensive government misconduct.”~ Attorney Robert BarnesCrypto pioneer and entrepreneur Roger Ver is well known as one of the first crypto investors in the world. As an early advocate of Bitcoin, Ver obtained the moniker “Bitcoin Jesus” for his promotion of and enthusiasm for what was, in 2011, a new technology.Beginning at a young age, Ver developed a deep interest in economics and understood early on the importance of freedom of transaction and decentralization. For him, personal sovereignty, non-interventionism, and limited government were essential for America’s success. Thus, at only 21 years old, eager to share these ideas with others and initiate positive change, Ver ambitiously entered the political scene in the state of California as a libertarian. He used the opportunity to raise awareness of the corruption of law enforcement and the intelligence agencies while advocating for an end to mass killing and war.Continue reading1,000-pound wheels and robots now farming Dyson strawberriesBy Michael FrancoA new video takes you inside Dyson’s impressive vertical farming operation, which is home to 1,225,000 strawberry plants and shows you how the company is applying its manufacturing knowledge to producing homegrown food for British consumers.In the English county of Lincolnshire, a 26-acre glasshouse built by the Dyson company stretches across the land. Inside, giant wheels weighing about 500 kg (~1,100 lb) hold rows of strawberry plants that are slowly rotated to provide them optimal exposure to sunlight. UV-emitting robots rove the aisles exposing the plants to enough light to kill any mold that dares grow on the plant leaves, while a distributor bot releases beneficial bugs onto the plants in order to kill aphids and other destructive pests.When the strawberries are ripe enough to be picked, the job is done by 16 robot arms that delicately pluck each fruit from the plant. According to James Dyson himself, the bots were able to harvest 200,000 strawberries in one month alone.Continue readingWhat did BRICS just declare?Etienne Note: Reminder: The BRICS are running “Government” on their populations just like the NATO/G7/G20 countries and support everything from “Climate Change” to Global “government”.12:52 PMby Edward SlavsquatOn July 6, BRICS member states signed the Joint Declaration of the 17th BRICS Summit, “Strengthening Global South Cooperation for More Inclusive and Sustainable Governance”, in Rio de Janeiro.Similar to the game-changing Kazan Declaration, this year’s BRICS declaration serves as a manifesto for the Multipolar World Order. Containing 126 commitments, the document reads like a Bill of Rights against the global tyranny of the Collective West.I encourage you to read the entire declaration, but here are some highlights:“We reiterate our commitment to reforming and improving global governance by promoting a more just, equitable, agile, effective, efficient, responsive, representative, legitimate, democratic and accountable international and multilateral system in the spirit of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits. In this regard, we take note of the adoption of the Pact of the Future at the Summit of the Future, including its two annexes, the Global Digital Compact and the Declaration of Future Generations.”Continue readingNew ‘Mind-Reading’ AI Predicts What Humans Will Do Next, And It’s Shockingly AccurateBy 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.

Another added that constituents have urged them to prepare for “violence … to fight to protect our democracy.”Continue readingLos Angeles is Broke – City Declares Fiscal Emergencyby Armstrong Economics, Martin ArmstrongThe city of Los Angeles declared a state of fiscal emergency amid a $1 billion deficit. The council approved of the emergency declaration unanimously in a 14-0 vote. This comes after Mayor Karen Bass approved a $14 billion budget for the fiscal year that began on July 1. The city is a prime example of what happens when socialist policies are allowed to run rampant at the expense of the people.Bass approved of raising the budget from $12.9 billion in FY2024-25 to $14 billion in 2025-26 despite the looming $1 billion deficit. Unsurprisingly, overspending is the main culprit for the deficit, and yet, lawmakers have every intention of spending more. Over 600 public sector workers will be let go as a result of fiscal mismanagement, and although small government is usually applaudable, the city plans to fire 248 LAPD employees, 44 sanitation workers, and 41 firefighters. LA is experiencing a significant uptick in crime, but plans to defund the police to appease the mobs.Continue readingTrump said he threatened to bomb Moscow if Putin attacked Ukraine, 2024 fundraiser tapes showby Adam Cancryn, CNNDonald Trump told a private gathering of donors last year that he once sought to deter Russian President Vladimir Putin from attacking Ukraine by threatening to “bomb the sh*t out of Moscow” in retaliation, according to audio provided to CNN.“With Putin I said, ‘If you go into Ukraine, I’m going to bomb the sh*t out of Moscow. I’m telling you I have no choice,’” Trump said during one 2024 fundraiser, according to the audio. “And then [Putin] goes, like, ‘I don’t believe you.’ But he believed me 10%.”Trump later claimed he relayed a similar warning to Chinese President Xi Jinping over a potential invasion of Taiwan, telling him that the US would bomb Beijing in response.“He thought I was crazy,” Trump said of Xi, before noting that “we never had a problem.”The remarks, which came as Trump made his case for a second term, were among those captured in a series of audio tapes of 2024 fundraisers in New York and Florida, which were later obtained by Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager and Isaac Arnsdorf, who detailed some of the exchanges in their new book, “2024.” The audio has not previously been aired. The Trump campaign declined to comment on the content of the tapes.Continue readingUnacknowledged False Flags: The October 7th Hamas Attack – Part 1By Rebecca KeeganIn November, Margaret climbed into her Toyota Camry, left her husband of 10 years at their comfortable brick home in the rural South and drove an hour to a hotel where — she was sure — Kevin Costner was coming to meet her.“I Love You.

Here’s what he discovered…Peter’s recent return to Próspera — his first in two and a half years — showed just how far the project has come. The long-awaited 14-storey Duna Towers are now fully built and operational, offering modern apartments, a coworking space, a café, and a gym and rooftop infinity pool.Perhaps more significantly, a tangible sense of community is beginning to take shape. Peter spent time co-working alongside local startups, visited Circular Factory, where modular components are being produced for new construction, and met some of the city’s early pioneers — including a three-generation family — who have relocated from around the world to call Próspera home. There’s growing momentum, with more people choosing to build their lives, businesses, and families in this emerging Free City.Continue readingThe LiberatorThe Liberator– Our archive of “government” and media criminalityImportant Note: New additions are added to the authoritative Liberator Dropboxes regularly but will not appear in the physical credit card-sized flash drive until we launch the next version.

PLUS The Scam and Ridiculousness of the 4th of July… With Dank Memes!Dear Subscribers,It’s the 4th of July and I want to be very clear: I LOVE the people of the United States… BUT… we simply need to be honest about the reality of our political and economic situation. We aren’t the greatest country in the world… We are simply one of the prettier horses in the glue factory… We are one of the lepers with more fingers than other countries… and our situation is getting worse in what smells like an economic takedown of one of the last armed populations on the planet as the information revolution of the Internet, Substack, and uncensorable flash drives begins to expose an inter-generational organized crime system that has been using “government,” fractional reserve banking, and monopoly media/academia to rob and control the planet.Our freedoms and the value of our currency are eviscerating before our eyes. It’s hard to explain to the youth of today how many freedoms we have lost or what the country was like before militarized police, ICE raids, body scanners, license plate readers, metal detectors in schools, and CIA drugs on the streets. It is hard to explain to a twenty-something how much more the US dollar bought in relation to the minimum wage and how much farther it went before their were taxes, fees and “tariffs” (hidden taxes) on everything from cell phone service to gasoline to beer.When I worked on Wall Street I use to commute to New York City from Northern Virginia on something called the Delta Shuttle. It flew back and forth from Dulles Airport to La Guardia almost every hour on the hour. You bought the tickets in booklets of 5-10 flights and you walked to the gate without having to wait in line for security or body scanners and handed over one of the tickets from your book. It took less than 30 minutes to get on the plane after handing the valet the keys. That level of freedom is completely incomprehensible to anyone born after the false flag “terrorist attack” of 9-11 was used to steal our freedoms and transfer trillions to the military industrial complex.In the Top Story of the Week, I break down the scam and ridiculousness of the 4th of July… With Memes!!In Other NewsWe are SOLD OUT of copies of my new book: To See the Cage Is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many in both our distribution center AND Amazon.

We have hundreds of new copies inbound which should hit the distribution center in a week and Amazon about a week or so later. Please order from SeeTheCage.com to get it sooner rather than later!We got back from our trip around the west last week. In a little over three weeks we drove 5594 miles through 12 states in 85 hours + a round trip flight to New Hampshire for the Porcupine Freedom Festival! We stopped at over a dozen independent bookstores along the way dropping off copies of both of my books in what is a major push for us to get the book into wider distribution!We are heading out this week on a business trip to Florida for a top secret project we are launching later this year AND to drop off even more review copies to independent bookstores along the way!

The payment totaled $80,000 that year, a significant boost to her roughly $130,000 government salary.

They’ll call it ‘utopia’ and sell it to you as such, but it’s actually the opposite. Welcome to the first of a two-part series.Utopia is a place of “ideal perfection, especially in laws, government, and social conditions.” At least, that’s the dictionary definition.The thing is, despite humans having tried for thousands of years to attain Eden-esque perfection, it’s impossible. Worse, the irony of such efforts is literally baked into the word ‘utopia:’From Merriam Webster (emphasis added):In 1516, English humanist Sir Thomas More published a book titled Utopia, which compared social and economic conditions in Europe with those of an ideal society on an imaginary island located off the coast of the Americas. More wanted to imply that the perfect conditions on his fictional island could never really exist, so he called it “Utopia,” a name he created by combining the Greek words ou (“not, no”) and topos (“place”).Continue readingChina Strikes Hard: Chinese Satellite Pulverizes Starlink With a 2-Watt Laser 36,000 KM From Earthby Juliette DuboisIn a stunning leap forward for space technology, Chinese scientists have achieved an unprecedented breakthrough in satellite communication, using a laser as weak as a nightlight to outpace the speeds of Starlink. Operating from an altitude of 36,000 kilometers—more than 60 times higher than SpaceX’s Starlink network—this Chinese satellite has demonstrated a level of data transmission far superior to what Starlink can offer, pushing the boundaries of what many thought possible.At the heart of this success is a 2-watt laser, which was able to transmit data at an astounding 1 Gbps. This speed is five times faster than Starlink’s capabilities, which are limited to a few megabits per second despite operating at a lower altitude of around 550 kilometers. According to InterestingEngineering, the laser, though faint as a candle’s glow, managed to push data through Earth’s turbulent atmosphere, overcoming a challenge that has long plagued satellite communications: atmospheric turbulence.Continue readingWealthy Silicon Valley Investors In Line for $17 Billion Windfall in GOP Tax BillBy Ben StevermanSilicon Valley’s favorite tax break may be getting an upgrade.Venture capitalists, along with successful tech founders and early startup employees, already pay no taxes on billions of dollars of gains annually, thanks to a lucrative and complicated provision called Qualified Small Business Stock, or QSBS. Now the carve-out could get even more generous in changes included in Senate Republicans’ proposed tax and spending bill moving through Congress.The once-obscure provision is the subject of “every dinner conversation in Silicon Valley,” said Christopher Karachale, a partner at law firm Hanson Bridgett in San Francisco. “It’s already an exceptional benefit for people who take risks on startups.”Taxpayers claimed $51 billion of QSBS gains in 2021, a record year for venture capital deal activity, according to a Treasury paper earlier this year, with the benefits skewed to a select group. While about 33,000 people reported QSBS to the Internal Revenue Service annually over the decade studied by Treasury, 90% of the total income went to individuals reporting more than $1 million of gains on eligible stocks.Continue readingHospitals, Not “Viruses”: What Really Caused the COVID-19 Death Spikesby UnbekomingIn early 2020, the world recoiled as reports of a novel coronavirus, purportedly unleashed from a laboratory or wet market, ignited a global crisis. Official narratives, amplified by the World Health Organization’s March 11, 2020, pandemic declaration, framed COVID-19 as a relentless, contagious pathogen sweeping through populations, overwhelming hospitals, and claiming lives indiscriminately. Yet, as Denis Rancourt and his team meticulously demonstrate in their groundbreaking study this narrative crumbles under rigorous scientific scrutiny. Their analysis, summarised here in 27 questions and answers, reveals a startling pattern: excess mortality did not align with the expected dynamics of viral spread but instead correlated tightly with aggressive medical interventions. Synchronized death spikes across Europe and North America, defying geographic logic, erupted immediately post-declaration, with no significant excess deaths prior. Cities like Rome, with heavy air traffic from Asia, saw minimal mortality, while New York’s Bronx, served by expanded hospital systems, suffered catastrophic losses. Rancourt’s work, lauded in Beyond Contagion for challenging virological dogma, underscores a grim irony: “88% of patients put on ventilators in New York died,” not from a virus but from protocols like mechanical ventilation and high-dose drug regimens. Despite such evidence, many, as noted in Rancourt Testimony, cling to the notion of a “weaponized virus,” a belief Rancourt dismantles as scientifically untenable. This study forces a reckoning with iatrogenic harm—hospital protocols, not a swarming pathogen, drove the mortality crisis.Continue readingCzech time series plots by month of vaccination show a massive kill signalby Steve KirschI plotted the Czech time series data by month of vaccination.If the vaccines were safe, these would all be left shifted versions of the same shape.They aren’t.There is no known explanation for that other than the vaccines weren’t safe.Here’s the confirmation.It’s a plot of the deaths per week against time since the shot was given. In my case, shot #2 in the Czech Republic.For a safe vaccine, the slope is a relatively flat line, with some seasonal peaks. The slope depends on the average age of the people dying and will be negative if over 86 years old, neutral around 85, and slightly sloping up for fixed cohorts with a younger average age of death. For example, young cohorts will have a 5% increase in weekly deaths by the end of the year, so halfway through the year, the deaths will only be a little higher, nothing noticeable.Continue readingSimplicius: Israel-Iran: The Denouementby SimpliciusMany new facts are coming to the surface in the denouement phase of the Iran-Israeli conflict. One has to do with the damage that Israel actually incurred, which caused it to so swiftly seek an out from the slugfest:The $3B quoted above does not take into account actual missile and military expenditures, but strictly damage caused. In the same article, infamous Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich actually named the war cost’s highest ceiling at $12B:Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich told a press conference the total cost of war could be as high as $12 billion, while Bank of Israel Governor Amir Yaron put the figure at about half that when speaking to Bloomberg TV on Wednesday. Whatever the final figure, that presents a challenge to an economy already strained by 20 months of wider conflict.Continue readingZero Point Energy & the Future of Humanity – A Deep Dive with Nassim Harameinby Lilou MaceThis is a paradigm shift. Nassim shares the science that could shape the future of humanity, unlocking technologies and understandings that were once the domain of mystics and visionaries. In this rare and powerful interview, I reconnect with visionary physicist Nassim Haramein in Paris to explore his groundbreaking discoveries on the unified field, zero point energy, and the very fabric of our reality.Continue readingDigital Workers Have Arrived in BankingBy Isabelle BousquetteBank of New York Mellon said it now employs dozens of artificial intelligence-powered ‘digital employees’ that have company logins and work alongside its human staff.Similar to human employees, these digital workers have direct managers they report to and work autonomously in areas like coding and payment instruction validation, said Chief Information Officer Leigh-Ann Russell. Soon they’ll have access to their own email accounts and may even be able to communicate with colleagues in other ways like through Microsoft Teams, she said.“This is the next level,” Russell said. While it’s still early for the technology, Russell said, “I’m sure in six months’ time it will become very, very prevalent.”What the bank, also known as BNY, calls “digital workers,” other banks may refer to as “AI agents.” And while the industry lacks a clear consensus on exact terminology, it’s clear that the technology has a growing presence in financial services.Continue readingUS Refueled Israeli Jets Throughout Iran Warby Dave DeCampUS military tanker aircraft refueled Israeli jets throughout the 12-day US-Israeli war against Iran to ease the burden on Israel’s limited and aging fleet of tankers, Israel Hayom has reported.The report said that “hundreds of aerial refuelings were conducted for Israeli fighter jets flying to Iran” during the 12 days of attacks on Iran. It was always believed that Israel wouldn’t be able to launch significant airstrikes on Iran without the US supporting the attacks with refueling.In the first days of the 12-day war, dozens of US KC-135s, KC-46s, and other tanker aircraft were spotted by flight trackers leaving the United States and heading east across the Atlantic Ocean. US officials confirmed that the tanker deployment was related to the Middle East, and the Israel Hayom report said that some of them were used to refuel Israeli jets.Continue readingBig Beautiful Bill Unleashes Palantir’s AI Surveillanceby Independent media alliance, Take Back Our TechFew people have read Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill in full—even those tasked with voting on it. Hidden inside, the bill gives unprecedented access and power to Artificial Intelligence and makes not cooperating with federal AI projects a criminal offense.TL;DR: Few people have read Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill in full—even those tasked with voting on it. Hidden inside, the bill gives unprecedented access and power to Artificial Intelligence and makes not cooperating with federal AI projects a criminal offense. Meanwhile Palantir’s has been granted over $1B+ of government contracts to date, and is working with or talking to federal agencies in the US.Everyone is talking about the Big Beautiful Bill. But have they read page 278?That’s where it says states must remove any obstacles to AI, make all tasks easier for adoption, and not impose fees or requirements. And it’s a criminal penalty if states don’t comply.Continue readingJudge Blocks Treasury’s Anti-Cartel Rule Targeting $200 Cash Transactions Along Borderby Tyler DurdenA federal judge in Texas has temporarily blocked a new Trump administration policy targeting small-dollar cross-border transactions aimed at curbing cartel money laundering, siding with two businesses who argued it was crippling their operations and scaring off customers.In a June 24 ruling, U.S. District Judge Leon Schydlower granted a temporary restraining order to Valuta Corporation and Payan’s Fuel Center, two El Paso-based money services businesses, finding they were likely to succeed on their claim that the policy—requiring reports of cash transactions as low as $200—was arbitrary and capricious.The policy, imposed by the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) through a Geographic Targeting Order (GTO) issued March 11, mandates that money service businesses in 30 ZIP codes across California and Texas file currency transaction reports on all cash transactions between $200 and $10,000. The reporting threshold was previously set at $10,000 under longstanding Bank Secrecy Act rules.Continue readingBritCard: a passport to digital slaveryBy Jenna Ross Graphics & Design Jennifer West, Athul AlexanderThe Venezuelan bolívar has fallen the most so far in 2025 amid high inflation and uncertain oil revenue.Six of the 10 biggest currency drops were in African countries.Can you count on the value of your currency holding relatively steady? The answer to this question will depend on where you live, along with economic circumstances.The second graphic in our Digital Dollar Series, created in partnership with Plasma, highlights currencies that have seen the biggest drops so far in 2025.In the first half of 2025, the Venezuelan bolívar saw a large decline. Consider this: on January 1, it would have taken 52 Venezuelan Bolivars to buy one U.S. dollar. By June 27, you would need 106 Bolivars to buy one U.S. dollar.The currency’s value has been quite volatile for decades. Most recently, the bolívar has been declining due to high inflation, dwindling dollar reserves, the end of a fixed exchange rate, and uncertain oil revenue amid U.S. sanctions.Continue readingRobert Scott Bell exposes the Kennedy Vaccine Committee meeting; the big conby Jon RappoportCatch this quote from Robert: “That thimerosal ‘ban’? It only applies to multi-dose vials—which, conveniently, can be reformulated post-approval to include it anyway. The CDC even removed the Pink Book appendix that listed vaccine ingredients. Now, there’s no clear record of what’s in those vials. This isn’t transparency—it’s obfuscation…”Robert Scott Bell has, for decades, been one of the most powerful voices in the world advocating for natural health and well-being.He’s not buying the latest piece of theater from the new and improved CDC Vaccine Committee.MAHA people, take notice: the Committee is still a bunch of suits.Their language may be a bit more comforting, but their dedication to the injections is solid.Trump: “[Kennedy] isn’t as radical as you think he is…” People knowingly nodded at the time and thought, “Kennedy has Trump fooled. Wait ‘til you see what our man does…”Continue readingBritCard: a passport to digital slaveryby Paul CudenecZIM, the zio-imperialist mafia, has long cherished the dream of imposing a totalitarian-style compulsory ID scheme on the British population.Tony Blair, one of its principal contemporary puppets, tried on its behalf to introduce an ID card 20 years ago, despite massive public opposition.His response to critical colleagues at the time was, as the Financial Times reveals: “I accept all the problems but I just see this as an idea whose time has come”.The Covid scam gave the former UK prime minister – who, like the WEF’s founder Klaus Schwab, has been awarded Israel’s Dan David Prize and is close to the zio-bankster Rothschilds – the chance to have a further, pandemic-pretexted, bash at advancing the same agenda.In September 2020 he told the BBC that it was “common sense to move in the direction of digital IDs”.Continue readingAnti-COVID mRNA vaccines can induce cancer in 17 distinct ways depending on more than 100 studiesby Mathilde DebordIs mass vaccination against COVID in the case of an explosion of cancer cases, as many scientists claim, some of whom had prophesied as early as May 2021? Two years ago, a group of French oncologists published a forum in which they categorically refute this hypothesis: “To date, no alert link has been published between an increased incidence or risk of rapid cancer progression after vaccination-car-COVID-19 or after another vaccination. They now claim to be facing a tsunami of dazzling cancers, especially among young people, to whom they say they find no rational explanation:We have a staggering increase in pancreatic cancer without any idea of reason. Did something happen? We don’t know. The whole world, all the world, is the question. The system that allows us to understand cancer is being misunderstood.Continue readingTexas Ready for $10M Bitcoin Purchase After Governor Signs Bill for State Reserveby CoinDesk, Tom CarrerasThe Lone Star State appears as if it will be the first in the U.S. to hold bitcoin.Texas has become the first U.S. state to establish a publicly funded bitcoin reserve after Governor Greg Abbott signed Senate Bill 21 into law.The state will allocate $10 million to purchase bitcoin, setting it apart from other states like Arizona and New Hampshire, which have not funded their reserves.A companion bill, HB 4488, ensures the bitcoin reserve is protected from being absorbed into the state’s general revenue.Texas has become the first U.S. state to create a publicly funded, stand-alone bitcoin reserve after Governor Greg Abbott signed Senate Bill 21 into law over the weekend. The bill directs the state to establish a bitcoin reserve managed independently from the main treasury, joining a small but growing group of states exploring digital asset reserves.Continue readingPentagon Creates New 250-Mile Military Buffer Zone At Texas–Mexico Borderby Tyler DurdenAuthored by Bill Pan via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),The Department of Defense is establishing a new military buffer zone—known as a national defense area—along the southwestern border to curb illegal immigration.On June 25, the U.S. Air Force announced that a 250-mile stretch of the border along the Rio Grande in Texas’s Cameron and Hidalgo counties will be designated an extension of Joint Base San Antonio.The land was previously managed by the International Boundary and Water Commission, an agency overseeing water-sharing between the United States and Mexico.The move is part of President Donald Trump’s broader strategy to allocate military resources for border enforcement. In an April presidential memo, Trump outlined plans to establish national defense areas, calling it a military mission “for sealing the southern border of the United States and repelling invaders.”Continue readingA Declaration of Independence…from Other Peopleby Christopher CookWould you like to enjoy more freedom in your life?If the answer is yes, then how much more would you like? If you are taxed at 30 percent, you enjoy more freedom to keep the fruits of your labor than if you’re taxed at 90 percent. If you live under a government that promises not to interfere with your right to speech, then you enjoy more freedom to express yourself than if you live under a government that does not.Your freedom may be theoretically absolute, but your enjoyment of your freedom can be curtailed by others. Thus, enjoyment of freedom is a matter of degree. There are better and worse degrees, for sure.But what if you don’t want your freedom to be curtailed at all? And what if you have reasoned your way (or followed the reasoning of another) to the provocative conclusion that it doesn’t have to be?Continue readingRanked: The Largest U.S. Companies by Revenue in 2025By Dorothy NeufeldThis 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.Walmart generated $681 billion in revenue, leading the rankings for the 13th year in a row.Ranking in second is Amazon, with $637 billion in revenue—but nearly three times the profits as Walmart.Overall, Cigna Group (#13) saw the biggest jump in annual revenues across the top 25, at 26.6%, followed by Meta Platforms (#21) at 21.9%.America’s top 25 firms by revenue generate more than $7 trillion in sales annually, often standing as the largest employers across states.Overall, retail heavyweights Walmart and Amazon lead the pack, while five health care firms rank in the top 10. Although the rankings saw minimal change from 2024, Trump tariffs stand to shake up corporate America, with firms such as Apple and Ford revising profit forecasts looking ahead.Continue readingUltra-Processed Foods Linked To Brain Changes That Drive Overeatingby Tyler DurdenAuthored by George Citroner via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),Ultra-processed foods (UPF) may be literally rewiring your brain to make you overeat, according to research that examined brain scans from nearly 30,000 middle-aged adults and found structural changes in regions that control hunger and food cravings.“We present evidence that eating UPFs increases several nutrient and metabolic markers of disease and is associated with structural brain changes in areas that regulate eating behavior,” the study authors wrote.The research, recently published in Nature, found that people who consumed more UPFs showed measurable differences in brain areas involved in feeding behavior, emotion, and motivation.Higher UPF intake was linked to increased thickness in the bilateral lateral occipital cortex—a brain region crucial for visual object recognition and processing shapes. This finding suggests changes in how the brain processes visual food cues.Continue readingAmerica’s Most Lawless Agency: ICE Is the Prototype for Tyrannyby John & Nisha Whiteheada“Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government’s purposes are beneficent. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding.”—Justice Louis D. BrandeisWhile the U.S. wages war abroad—bombing Iran, escalating conflict, and staging a spectacle of power for political gain—a different kind of war is being waged here at home.This war at home is quieter but no less destructive. The casualties are not in distant deserts or foreign cities. They are our freedoms, our communities, and the Constitution itself.And the agents of this domestic war? Masked thugs. Unmarked vans. Raids. Roundups.Continue readingShould Christians Stand with Zionist Israel?By Jeff WrightA biblical and theological issue is at the heart of a major geopolitical crisis. This fact was brought to light during the recent discussion between Senator Ted Cruz and Tucker Carlson. When Tucker challenged Cruz on his vehement support for Israel, Cruz explained, “Growing up in Sunday School I was taught from the Bible, ‘Those who bless Israel will blessed and those who curse Israel will be cursed.’ And from my perspective, I want to be on blessings side of things.”A version of the view articulated by Sen. Cruz is held by many Christians in America and this conviction is at the root of widespread support for the present-day nation-state of Israel. When Israel goes to war, the American evangelical rallying cry is, “Stand With Israel!” Many of these Christians would say they stand with Israel on biblical and theological grounds. But is this warranted?Continue readingMAHA scorecard: First 6 months of Trump Admin appointed HHS.by Sasha LatypovaThe website MAHA PAC (political action committee) conveniently keeps the list of “MAHA-wins”. This group is of course biased, given that their purpose is politics, which excludes the possibility of it being search for the truth. That said, I would like to fact check their claims and be as objective as possible. The fact checking will be done against the primary stated objective of MAHA – i.e. making Americans healthier. Let’s presume that means to lower the incidence of disease, especially chronic illnesses among younger people and children.First odd statement I see on MAHA website:Not trying to nitpick, but this seems like an odd turn of phrase. Normally, when we mean “soon, within reach” we would say something like “just around the corner”. Not horizon. Have you been to the Great Plains and seen where the horizon is actually located? It’s friggin far!!! And to be “beyond” it, means…. well, you can never get there, actually. That’s how the round Earth works. On the flat Earth… mmm… that’s a thought! Maybe these folks are flat-earthers. Whatever they are, somebody thought about this slogan quite hard, because they are signaling something obvious.Continue readingNYC Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani Proposes Higher Taxes for Whites & Resisting ICEby NewsweekNew York City’s Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s official website contains a housing policy document that includes a pledge to “shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods.” It adds: “The property tax system is unbalanced because assessment levels are artificially capped, so homeowners in expensive neighborhoods pay less than their fair share.”He will be running against incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, who is running as an Independent.Some of his platform ideas include: rent freezes, free childcare, no-cost public transit, expanding funding for hate violence prevention programs by 800%, and an end to city cooperation with ICE. He supported defunding toe police in 2020 and dismantling the prison system.Continue readingWhy Walmart Is Opening ‘Dark Stores’ That Customers Can’t Go Insideby Derin YilmazWalmart has opened “dark stores” that are not open to the public and serve solely as fulfillment centers to speed up online order deliveries.CEO Douglas McMillon announced that Walmart is close to reaching 95% of the U.S. population with three-hour or less delivery.The company has expanded drone grocery delivery to 100 more locations, becoming the first retailer to provide such a service across five states.Walmart is once again testing the waters with a new opportunity for customers, aiming to boost the quality and efficiency of its online delivery services. While its efforts to provide better service for shoppers aren’t surprising, its latest project might be: Walmart is opening stores that customers can’t actually go into.This isn’t as strange as it sounds. The largest retailer in the United States — which currently operates 4,800 stores nationwide — is opening brick-and-mortar locations that will only be used to fulfill online orders and not be accessible to its shoppers.Continue readingCALL TO ACTION: The Hidden Antenna Invasion Inside H.R. 1by Reinette SenumBuried deep inside H.R. 1, officially titled the “Lower Energy Costs Act” but ironically nicknamed by some as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” is a quiet provision with sweeping and scary implications for every neighborhood in America. Section 43101 of this bill extends the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) spectrum auction authority. This power allows the FCC to auction off the nation’s public airwaves to private telecommunications companies, such as AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile. On the surface, this may sound routine, but in reality, it opens the door to a vast, unchecked expansion of wireless infrastructure, all with little to no local oversight, as if there are not enough cell antennas out there already.This spectrum auction authority means more than just selling frequencies; it also involves managing the allocation of frequencies. In practice, it empowers the FCC to expedite the installation of new antennas and equipment nationwide. By extending this authority, Section 43101 effectively locks in the FCC’s existing policies, which already limit the power of local governments and communities to control the placement of antennas.Continue readingUS Approves $510 Million Arms Deal for Israelby Dave DeCampThe Trump administration has approved a new arms deal for Israel that will provide the country with $510 million worth of Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMS), kits that turn bombs into precision-guided weapons, as the US continues to provide military aid to support the genocidal war in Gaza.According to the Pentagon’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), the State Department notified Congress of the sale of 3,845 JDAMS for 2,000-pound BLU-109 bombs and 3,280 JDAMS for 500-pound MK 82 bombs. The deal also includes US “government and contractor engineering, logistics, and technical support services; and other related elements of logistics and program support.”The DSCA said Boeing is the principal contractor for the deal. The notification of the potential deal begins a time period when US lawmakers could potentially block the sale, but there’s little opposition to US military support for Israel within Congress, despite the many war crimes the US is implicated in by providing Israel with weapons.Continue readingThe US dollar is on track for its worst year in modern historyby semafor.comThe US dollar is on track for its worst year in modern history and may not be done falling yet. The greenback is down more than 7% this year and Morgan Stanley predicts it could fall another 10%. A weaker dollar could make US exports more competitive, boosting Trump’s plan to rebalance US trade, but makes imports more expensive, adding to the sting of tariffs.The question ahead is whether the dollar doesn’t just lose its value, but its role at the center of the global financial system. So far, there are few alternatives. And efforts to de-dollarize — central banks shifting into gold, China shoveling its currency into developing nations through swap lines — haven’t meaningfully shifted the picture. But as political economist Ngaire Woods wrote for Semafor in an essay earlier this year, “they haven’t dethroned the dollar, but that’s because the US government has protected it through sound policy and global engagement.”Continue readingFDA Exposed: Hundreds of Drugs Approved without Proof They Workby Maryanne DemasiaThe US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved hundreds of drugs without proof that they work—and in some cases, despite evidence that they cause harm.That’s the finding of a blistering two-year investigation by medical journalists Jeanne Lenzer and Shannon Brownlee, published by The Lever.Reviewing more than 400 drug approvals between 2013 and 2022, the authors found the agency repeatedly ignored its own scientific standards.One expert put it bluntly—the FDA’s threshold for evidence “can’t go any lower because it’s already in the dirt.”The findings were damning—73% of drugs approved by the FDA during the study period failed to meet all four basic criteria for demonstrating “substantial evidence” of effectiveness.Those four criteria—presence of a control group, replication in two well-conducted trials, blinding of participants and investigators, and the use of clinical endpoints like symptom relief or extended survival—are supposed to be the bedrock of drug evaluation.Continue readingI can see it all nowby Paul CudenecaI can see it clearly now, with six decades behind me.I can see that it wasn’t some kind of personality defect that made my adolescent self feel out of place in this modern world.I can see that it wasn’t a gloomy or pessimistic disposition that led to me the conclusion, even in my twenties, that everything was constantly getting worse.I can see why most of the battles I have fought have been losing ones and why, even on those rare occasions where a threat has been seen off, the spectre always came back again, a decade or two later.I can see that the “fringe” or “extreme” label attached to my point of view by the shapers of opinion does not mean that many people, deep down, do not share my outlook.I can see all too clearly that this modern world is a giant industrial prison-camp, run by, and in the interests of, a tiny group of zio-satanic bankster-billionaires.Continue readingCharted: The Growth of Global Data Center Capacity (2005–2025)By Niccolo Conte Article/Editing: Govind BhutadaThis 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.Global data center capacity has grown fivefold between 2005 and 2025Data centers consume about 485 terawatt-hours of electricity globally, representing 1.7% of global electricity demandAs digital infrastructure continues to expand rapidly, data centers have seen explosive growth in demand and capacity globally.The growth has been especially pronounced over the last decade, with cloud computing and AI driving the demand for data storage and infrastructure.This chart visualizes the installed data center capacity worldwide from 2005 to 2025 (estimated), using data from the International Energy Agency (IEA).Continue readingJoshua Stylman Breaks Down: The Ungrateful Heir (NYC Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani)by Joshua StylmanThe unthinkable has happened. In last week’s Democratic primary, New York City—America’s financial capital and largest metropolis—chose Zohran Mamdani as its mayoral nominee. A 33-year-old socialist who promises to implement Marx’s economic theories in a city of 8.3 million people now stands one election away from controlling a $100 billion budget.I don’t normally write about politics. While I understand elections have consequences, I’ve largely come to view them as theater. The older I get, the more it bores me—regardless of which candidate wins, people become more divided, our liberties erode, corporate power expands, and regular people lose.But this feels different. This isn’t about choosing between two flavors of the same corrupt system—this is about handing control of America’s largest city to someone whose family represents a three-generation case study in how Western institutions create their own destroyers.Continue readingICE prepares detention blitz with historic $45 billion in fundingby Douglas MacMillanThe tax and spending bill passed by Congress on Thursday will triple federal funding for immigrant detention centers, setting the stage for a rapid expansion of these facilities and adding to concerns about the treatment of the growing numbers of immigrant detainees.Congress allocated $45 billion to spend locking up immigrants over the next four years — more than the government spent on detention during the Obama, Biden and first Trump administrations combined, federal data show. The bill also includes $46.5 billion for building the wall along the U.S.-Mexico border and $6 billion for border technology and surveillance, along with other border security and immigration measures.This is the most “funding we have seen for a border immigration agenda in the history of the country,” said Lauren-Brooke Eisen, who researches criminal justice and incarceration in her role as a senior director at the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University’s School of Law. “We are seeing a wholesale expansion of ICE detention centers.”Continue readingUpcoming Liberty EventsMidwest Peace and Liberty Festival – July 24th – 27th – Gregory, MIRon Paul’s Birthday BBQ – August 9th – Lake Jackson, TX (USA)Anarcon – Sept 26th-28th – Gore, VASat., 7/26 Freedompalooza, Roaring Brook Farm, Northumberland, NH w The Red Pill Friends & moreMises 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 WeekMike Merenda, one of the Red Pill Friends, has another band called The Mammals and they have a brand new album Touch Grass, available on Band Camp: https://themammals.bandcamp.com/album/touch-grass-vol-2libertarian Intentional Community RoundupEtienne Note: We have rebranded our Free State Project Corner section in Five Meme Friday to: libertarian Intentional Community Roundup to cover other projects including Prospera (Honduras), The Free State Project (New Hampshire), Liberstad (Norway), Montelibero (Montenegro), Los Propietarios, (Argentina), Liberland (Croatia/Serbia border), Network States in general and Sea Steading (The Oceans).

Who has an extremely important message for you to digest. Take what you take what works for you. Leave the rest. I don’t I don’t think there’s gonna be much to leave because the information is so valuable.Now, this man goes under the pen name, Etienne de la Boetie2, He is an author of two very important books. There is a brand new one.When is that second book coming out? And then we’ll we’ll get into your important message So when does that second book become released?Etienne de la Boetie2:The book is shipping now and we’re working on getting it into independent bookstores and ideally all bookstores. But the book is available now. It’s To See The Cage is to Leave It – . 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many, and the website is SeeTheCage.com.Jason Christoff:And we’re just gonna dive right into it. First of all, your pen name, Etienne de la Boetie2. This is this was the original name of a French philosopher or French novel not a novelist, but maybe almost like a reporter of his day…Etienne de la Boetie2:He was a political philosopher. Some people call him the first voluntaryist And what he’s known for is exposing the tricks and the techniques that rulers use, not just to get obedience, but to get fealty, and adoration, while you’re getting robbed and you’re getting tax farmed.You’ve got the tax slaves singing “God Save the Queen” or “All Hail the Chief”.The population is being tricked into an adoration for the ruling class using a variety of unethically manipulative tricks. And the original Etienne de la Boetie was the first one to point out that the ruling class (back then monarchy) was running tricks on the population to get them to go along with something that isn’t in their interest. And so when I came out with my first book “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed!, my kids were in the government school system.Continue Reading On Substack… “Go Paid” to get Etienne’s transcript with trademark visualizations, memes, and images”Government”, Media and Academia Criminality ExposedThese articles also appears in “Government”, Media and Academia Criminality Exposed, A digest of HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of articles exposing and suggesting inter-generational organized crime’s control of the “Government,” Media and Academia by the Art of Liberty Foundation.

The idea behind its unusual shape is flexibility: it can be used as a children’s pool, lounging pool, and for water sports and lap swimming simultaneously. Alternatively, two sections or even all four can be used at once.As mentioned, it will feature self-filtering technology, which its organizers say will be used to clean the East River water, allowing bathers to swim in it safely. “No chemicals or additives” will be used to remove all the bacteria, toxins and any other nasty stuff. We’ve no in-depth details on how this will work, but schematic drawings depict UV lights, some sort of membrane filter and a strainer.Continue readingWhich U.S. states tip most? A new study breaks down gratuity rates across the country.By Mary CunninghamAmericans often voice frustration over the ubiquity of tipping these days, but that hasn’t stopped them from giving generously to reward good service.Consumers spent an estimated $77.6 billion on tips for food purchased at restaurants, bars and other eateries in 2023, according to a new study by LendingTree. The analysis, which draws on the most recent government data available, gives readers a snapshot of how much Americans tip and in which states they tip the most.Perhaps not surprisingly, LendingTree found that tipping rates tend to be higher in states where people eat out more. LendingTree also looked at which Americans around the country drop the biggest tips.New Hampshire residents are the No. 1 tippers in the country, according to the LendingTree study. On average, they leave a gratuity of 16.07% of spending on food away from home — falling within the standard range of 15% to 20% tips at restaurants. New Hampshire’s average tipping rate is four times that of the nation’s lowest tipping state, which is Utah at 4.09%.Continue readingStudy: Most beers in the U.S. are contaminated with FOREVER CHEMICALSby Olivia Cook, naturalnews.comMany popular U.S. beers contain toxic “forever chemicals” (PFAS), with some exceeding the EPA’s 2024 safety limits for drinking water. Contamination primarily stems from PFAS-laced water used in brewing.PFAS exposure is linked to cancer, infertility, developmental delays, hormonal disruption and weakened immunity. Nearly 99 percent of Americans have PFAS in their blood, and beer consumption adds to cumulative exposure.Craft breweries that rely on municipal water without advanced filtration are especially vulnerable to PFAS contamination, as are ingredients and packaging materials.While the EPA has set PFAS limits for drinking water, enforcement won’t begin until 2029, leaving utilities and breweries unchecked in the interim.Consumers can reduce exposure by checking water quality reports, asking breweries about filtration, drinking in moderation, choosing beers from low-PFAS regions, using certified home filters and advocating for stronger water policies.Continue readingMinnesota Politician Shooting Suspect Vance Boelter Blames Far-Left Gov. Tim Walz in “Confession Letter” Addressed to Kash Patelby Jim Hᴏft ,Thegatewaypundit.comVance Boelter, the suspect in the horrific shootings of state lawmakers, has pointed the finger at far-left Governor Tim Walz in a chilling handwritten “confession letter” addressed to FBI Director Kash Patel.Multiple sources with direct knowledge of the investigation confirmed to Alpha News that Boelter’s letter explicitly blames Walz’s radical policies and inflammatory rhetoric for driving him to commit the murderous rampage.Boelter, 57, is accused of gunning down former House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in a cold-blooded attack in Brooklyn Park, while also gravely wounding State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, in Champlin.The shootings, described by authorities as a “politically motivated assassination,” triggered the largest manhunt in Minnesota’s history, culminating in Boelter’s arrest in a field near his Green Isle home.Continue readingSubsidiarity and the Sovereign Villageby SuzanneIn technology, a “sandbox” refers to an isolated environment where experiments can be conducted safely, innovations can be tested, and failures can occur without threatening the integrity of the larger system. While crucial to software development, this concept can just as easily be applied to the experimentation of societies themselves.Throughout history, Switzerland has served as a kind of governance sandbox: a controlled, semi-insulated space where new political forms were tested, refined, and sometimes exported far beyond its mountainous borders. The secret sauce behind Switzerland’s renowned reputation as a model of civic engagement and political stability is the concept of subsidiarity. But we’ll get to that below.This spring, the Polis Labs team joined Zuitzerland (part of the broader Zuzalu archipelago) for a month-long exploration of its “future society sandbox.” Based at a stunningly beautiful location in the Swiss Alps, the Zuitzerland pop-up village served as a playground for experiments in decentralized governance, regenerative economics, and new societal models.One of our hypotheses at Polis Labs is that human flourishing comes not from perfecting top-down control, but from building bottom-up trust. By taking both an observational and direct, participatory approach at Zuitzerland, we gained valuable insights into how the Swiss concept of subsidiarity works when real people, with real needs, consider what it would take to build a governance system from scratch.Continue readingJames Corbett Interviews Zowe Smith – Genomic Surveillance in the Thrill Kill Medical Cultby CorbettZowe Smith of My Life in the Thrill Kill Medical Cult joins us to discuss her two-part series on “Medical Surveillance.” We talk about vaccine passports, digital ID, AI surveillance, Palantir and the companies that are setting up the genomic surveillance grid, and how that grid can be used to target dissidents in the event of the next declared crisis.Continue readingIsrael Buckles as Iran War Shifts to New Drag-Out Phaseby SimpliciusToday a round of urgent talks concluded in Geneva between European-American representatives and Iran’s Foreign Minister Araghchi. The talks reportedly went nowhere as Iran rejected calls to end all enrichment, and instead rebutted that Iran will not negotiate with anyone until all attacks by Israel first cease.Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi: I have told the Europeans that Iran will never negotiate on its missile program and that uranium enrichment is a red line. Iran will NOT negotiate with any party as long as Israeli attacks continue. We will continue to exercise our legitimate right to self-defense against Israel.Araghchi will next try Moscow, where he heads on Monday.But this development is remarkable for a number of reasons:First, the arrant hypocrisy demonstrated by the Western-bloc position that Iran must first negotiate and only then will hostilities be brought to an end. Wait a second, wasn’t it that in Ukraine the “appropriate” sequence of events, according to this ‘rules based odour’, is that first hostilities must immediately cease, and only then negotiations should begin?Continue readingWhat Does Palantir Actually DO?by The Corbett ReportIn case you hadn’t noticed, Palantir is everywhere these days.That’s right, everyone’s least-favourite deep state intelligence cutout is suddenly all over the newswires.Investopedia is touting Palantir’s record-high stock price.The New York Times is reporting on Palantir’s new contract to create an IRS “mega-database.”People are hitting the streets to protest Palantir’s creepy surveillance technologies.Heck, Palantir’s Chief Technical Officer has even taken to the pages of The Free Press to brag about joining the US Army as part of the Army Reserve’s new “Executive Innovation Corps” of tech nerds and businessmen.As a Corbett Reporteer, you’ll be well-placed to understand how odd this sudden influx of attention paid to Palantir is. After all, for the past decade the only place you were likely to see anything at all about this data-mining surveillance behemoth was on Unlimited Hangout or The Last American Vagabond or The Conscious Resistance or The Corbett Report or other websites in the independent media space.Continue readingFormer Pfizer Chief Scientist Dr. Mike Yeadon: The Deliberate Reproductive Toxicity of the Covid-19 InjectionsEtienne Note: Check out our monograph: Solving Covid – The Covid 19 Eugenics, Vaccine/Drug Scam Timeline at and its companion article: The Covid 19 Suspects and Their Ties to Eugenics and Population Control/Reduction to understand who is behind “The Covid”by Dr Mike YeadonI’ve not returned to reproductive toxicity risk since first pointing it out with Dr Wolfgang Wodarg in our open letter to European Medicines Agency on December 1st, 2020.

Reporters focused largely on factories in India, a key supplier of the world’s generic drugs.Continue readingThe 9/11 Memorial Museum: Memorialization or Mind Control?by David A. HughesOn May 29, 2025, I visited the 9/11 Memorial Museum. In part, this was out of grim curiosity regarding how the official “9/11” narrative would be constituted in museum format. But I also wanted to see for myself many of the artefacts I had previously only seen online, and to assess the layout and design of the museum.As it turned out, I got a lot more than I bargained for. The further I went into the museum, the more evident it became to me that its design, as well as the installations and exhibitions within it, are based on known principles of mind control dating back to the CIA’s MKULTRA program (1953-1963). I describe many of those principles in my book, “Covid-19,” Psychological Operations and the War for Technocracy (2024).Prima facie, it seems inconceivable that such techniques would be deployed in a museum whose ostensible purpose is to memorialize a national tragedy. Given that multiple architectural and design firms were involved in different elements of the museum, it may also seem unlikely that there would be any overall coordination for nefarious purposes.Continue readingExclusive: Leaked ICE Databy Ken KlippensteinOne in three so-called “illegal aliens” deported from the Los Angeles area are people without a criminal record, internal ICE data I’ve obtained reveals.These data come from the Los Angeles field office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and cover the period from last October to June of this year. Provided to me by a law enforcement source, the data appears in an internal ICE memo detailing an upcoming visit to LA by homeland security’s deputy secretary Troy Edgar.During this time, according to the leaked data, ICE has arrested 5,232 people during its various raids. Of that number, some 3,513 had criminal histories, 350 of which are alleged gang members and 43 are labeled “known or suspected” terrorists, meaning that they are identified by the FBI as members or associates of transnational criminal organizations.Continue readingSimplicius: Shayrat Redux? Trump’s ‘Invisible’ Fleet Leaves Mirage of ‘Devastation’ in Iranby SimpliciusWell, Trump did it again: under cover of giving Iran “two weeks” negotiating time, he instead launched a covert attack as soon as the assets were in place, later telling ‘Meet the Press’ that he said he would make the decision within two weeks, and two days technically falls in that time scale.Trump endorsed strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities at a meeting with advisers on Wednesday. His talk of a negotiating period on Thursday was a deliberate deception and “smokescreen,” The Atlantic claims.First, let us briefly overview how the strikes reportedly went down. Chatter erupted yesterday when B-2s and refueling craft took off from their homebase of Whiteman AFB and began tracking west toward Guam (for further refueling) and Diego Garcia. However, that “visible” strike package was the diversion, while the real package flew east from mainland US under complete cover, to hit Iran directly from its western flank.Continue readingCovid is a Military Operation that Never Stoppedby Sasha LatypovaThis is a video recording from my recent presentation for Doctors 4 Covid Ethics group.

HughesIn Part 1 of this series, I guided readers below ground as we began our critical exploration of the 9/11 Memorial Museum. As we descended into an underworld marked by themes of shock and trauma, we found ourselves in a highly artificial space in which nothing is quite as it seems.In what follows, our journey continues into the depths of the museum, where we finally encounter some damaged relics from the original World Trade Center site and find more evidence of perceptual manipulation in the design of the museum.It is easy to assume, as I first did, that what Robert Bevan calls the “shimmering volumes clad in foamed aluminium panels” (seen below on the right) are the outer edges of the below-ground memorial pools.That is not the case, however. According to the official 9/11 Memorial site, the memorial pools descend 30 feet into a square basin, then a further 20 feet via the lower catch basins. Therefore, the foamed aluminum paneling conceals a large space around the lower catch basins — further evidence of artifice.Continue readingIsrael Threatened to Kill the Children of an Iranian General If He Did Not Flee the Countryby Washington Post and DailyMailThe Washington Post reported that Persian-speaking Mossad agents called over 20 senior officials in Tehran and told them that they and their families would be assassinated if they did not renounce the rule of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader. Israel launched its first wave of strikes on Iran on June 13, targeting Iranian military leaders and top nuclear scientists.The Mossad psychological warfare operation doesn’t appear to have deterred Iran, as it fired upon an American base in Qatar after US president Donald Trump ordered his military to attack Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend.According to one translated part of the transcript:“I can advise you now, you have 12 hours to escape with your wife and child. Otherwise, you’re on our list right now,” an Israeli intelligence operative told a senior Iranian general close to the country’s rulers, according to the audio recording.Continue readingMembers of Congress Bought Defense Stocks, Then Watched Them Rise as the Bombs DroppedBy David MooreOperation Midnight Hammer, the Trump administration’s unauthorized military strike against nuclear sites in Iran, involved hundreds of U.S. aircraft made by Northrop Grumman and others, more than a dozen Boeing-made “massive ordnance penetrator” bombs, RTX-manufactured Tomahawk missiles fired from a General Dynamics submarine, and Boeing-made aerial refueling tankers. The strike came just weeks after the Trump administration requested a Pentagon budget exceeding $1 trillion for the first time.Since President Trump’s win on Election Day, at least 19 members of the U.S. House and Senate have reported household purchases of stock in the companies involved in the Iran strikes and other military contractors listed in the Top 100 of defense revenue by Defense News, according to a Sludge review of disclosures compiled by Capitol Trades. As of their most recent filings, all but one of these lawmakers still hold the defense stocks they acquired after the election. Dozens more members of Congress already owned stock in defense companies, according to a Sludge analysis conducted last year.Continue readingThe SPAC is Back!by Eric SalzmanBloomberg News reported last week that Goldman Sachs, after a 2022 self-imposed ban, is getting back in the SPAC underwriting game.Back in 2021, as Fed monetary policy supercharged a speculative mania, SPACs were the poster children of markets gone wild. Goldman underwrote more than $16 billion of the product in 2021 as Wall Street pumped out more than $170 billion overall, led by Citigroup’s $22 billion.What is a SPAC?Our fearless leader Mr. Taibbi wrote about SPACs in 2021, and it’s a great read.Here’s a drier take.Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs), also referred to as Blank Check Companies, are registered investment products underwritten by the likes of Goldman. Managers of the SPAC raise money in an Initial Public Offering for the purpose of buying a company or companies within 18 to 24 months.Continue readingMartin Armstrong: The Strait of Hormuz – Incoming Global Energy Crisis?by Martin ArmstrongSupply chain constraints are inevitable during wartime. Shippers are actively avoiding the Strait of Hormuz that connects the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea amid the Iranian nuclear tensions. This is a significant disruption as around 20% of global oil is funneled through this passageway.Oman’s Musandam Peninsula hosts a narrow passageway with Iran that is only 30 miles wide but large enough for mass oil tankers to navigate. These strategic route allows for the shipment of around 21 million barrels per day. One-third of global liquefied natural gas (LNG) primarily from Qatar, rely on this crucial route. An estimated $1.7 billion of oil can pass through this channel on an average day, and any disruption has the ability to cause ripples throughout the global economy.The United States, India, China, Japan, and South Korea are among the many developed economies that rely on this strait for its energy needs. Even a temporary pause in shipments would cause oil prices to skyrocket and disturb international trade. Iran has repeatedly used this passageway as leverage in negotiations. The Iranian government is well aware of the power it wields and have threatened to prevent passage during times of unrest and sanctions.Continue readingThe “New FDA”: Faster, Smarter, Friendlier to Pharmaby Veronika KyrylenkoWhen Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. took over the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), he pledged to “Make America Healthy Again.” The slogan became a central theme of his public-health vision during the 2024 campaign, when he endorsed Donald Trump and positioned himself as a reformer critical of pharmaceutical overreach.Yet just months into his tenure, a new phrase is echoing through the agency’s top leadership: “Make American Biotech Accelerate.” Notably, Kennedy never mentioned this biotech-centric slogan on the campaign trail. Its sudden debut signals a sharp, unannounced pivot — one that puts pharmaceutical and technological innovation at the center of federal health policy.What does this pivot look like in practice?The shift begins at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) — an agency tasked with protecting the public from unsafe, ineffective, or fraudulent medical products.Continue readingJAMES Corbett: Trump Bombs Iranby The Corbett ReportJOIN THE INVESTIGATION: https://corbettreport.com/trump-bombs-iran/Last weekend Trump ordered the US military to strike three nuclear facilities in Iran.

Second, the narrative of essential migrant workers is based on a lie; Americans do want and need most of the jobs being stolen by foreign invaders.An ICE raid this week at the Glenn Valley Foods meat packing plant in Omaha, Nebraska resulted in at least 75 illegals detained out of 150 workers total workers. The majority are now being deported, triggering an angry leftist protest.Continue readingRanked: Every U.S. State from Most to Least ExpensiveBy Dorothy Neufeld, Graphics/Design: Christina KostandiThis 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 stands as the nation’s most expensive state, with a regional price parity (RPP) of 113 when indexed against the U.S. average of 100.Following in second is Washington D.C., with a RPP of 111—driven significantly by housing costs.Arkansas ranks as the least expensive state, with costs 13% lower than the national average.How far does a dollar really go across America?As inflation has raised everything from housing costs to the price of eggs to record levels, consumers are feeling the burden. While tariffs stand to raise prices even further—although no meaningful signs in official data show this yet—price pressures have few signs of abating.Continue readingMencken’s Forgotten Wisdom on Warby Jim BovardAs a stampede of weasels just sought to con America into supporting another Mideast war, it is time remember America’s most underrated critic of bellicose folly. H.L. Mencken is famous for his smackdowns of politicians and ridicule of government and of much of American culture. But he also offered sage advice for citizens judging officialdom itching for carnage.On May 9, 1939, The Baltimore Sun published Mencken’s essay on “The Art of Selling War.” This piece, included in the Second Mencken Chrestomathy published in 1995, deserves a far higher position in the Mencken and antiwar pantheon.In words that are painfully relevant for today’s news, Mencken warned, “The fact that all the polls run heavily against American participation in the threatening European war is not to be taken seriously.” Mencken continued:Continue readingHumiliation: Israel Tucks Tail After Failing All Objectives in War against Victorious Iranby SimpliciusYesterday, Iran retaliated for the US ‘strikes’ on its nuclear facilities, concluding the final act of the choreographed play we’ve been witnessing. It launched Operation Basharat al-Fath (بشارت الفتح), which reportedly means ‘Glad Tidings of Victory’, or ‘Good News of the Conquest’ if you ask Google, hitting the US Al Udaid base in Qatar.Iran says it used the same amount of missiles against Al-Udeid as the amount of bombs dropped by the U.S. on Fordow (14)The US claims everything was intercepted, and of course, again it was revealed that the entire act was ‘agreed upon’ between both sides.Afterwards, Trump responded in a way indicating that he was fine with letting Iran blow off some steam in order to conclude the off-ramp for everyone involved:Last time when I had written up the idea that the Fordow hit was done via secret back channel handshake some people were skeptical. But here is the ‘smoking gun’ video that proves precisely how this work is done behind the scenes—it pertains to the previous attacks during Trump’s first term, which were a retaliation for the hit on Soleimani, but is obviously more than relevant today. Watch very carefully:Continue readingPfizer Drags Myocarditis Study to 2030: I’m Bloody Furious!by Aussie17abI’ve got something that’s got my blood boiling—and it should get yours too. Pfizer’s just kicked the can down the road again, extending their COVID vaccine-induced myocarditis study by a whopping five years. Yep, you heard that right—it’s now set to wrap up in November 2030, up from the original 2025 finish line. Check the study yourself here: NCT05295290. (Thanks to Dr Clare Craig for highlighting this!)10 years from the vaccine’s launch to figure out if it’s torching people’s hearts? Are you kidding me?Let’s put this in perspective. Operation Warp Speed—the big, flashy U.S. government push—had vaccines developed, tested, and rolled out in under a year. Pfizer’s “safe and effective” trial for the jab was done and dusted by late 2020, with emergency approval by December(with 44,000+ participants no less!). Less than 12 months, and they were slapping it into arms worldwide, telling us it was all good. So why, oh why, do they need 10 years—from 2021 to 2030—to tell us if this thing is causing myocarditis, a nasty heart inflammation that’s been popping up in young blokes especially? And this study only enrolled 300 participants!!Continue readingWhat happened to Ice Age Farmer?by UNSHADOWEDMany have been asking, “What happened to Ice Age Farmer?” It’s true that YouTube removed the channel, but that is only part of the story. Today, I want to share with you one of the responses to my work as Ice Age Farmer, which flowed through an interesting series of events. Others have already spoken out about similar experiences, so this is neither “breaking news,” nor is it intended to somehow “fight back,” or indeed to engage in any way. It’s been some time now, and so I am simply documenting and sharing my experience, as it informs what I’m doing now (and even who I am now).Around the time the Ice Age Farmer channel hit 300,000 subscribers, I was identified as one of the “key actors” in destroying mainstream narratives. The Institute for Strategic Dialog (ISD) is a “think tank” (funding from the Gates Foundation, Soros’ Open Society Foundation, Canada/UK/US, and so on). Their October 2021 report “Climate Lockdown and the Culture Wars” identified Ice Age Farmer as a key actor in this information war:Continue reading70% of Tennessee Embalmers Still Seeing Death by Clot Shotby Greg ReeseaJust around three years ago, as millions of people around the world were dying from strokes and heart attacks shortly after getting the experimental gene editing COVID shots, coroners and embalmers began finding large dense clots in the vascular system of the dead. Clearly large enough to explain the cause of death, but ignored by government and media. And the public, including children, are still getting these clot shots.During the winter of 2023/2024, Thomas Haviland conducted the, “Worldwide Embalmer Blood Clot Survey,” where in embalmers from the United States, Canada, Australia and the UK were surveyed about the blood clots. The study found that the “White Fibrous Clots” were not seen by anyone Pre-Covid/jab, and over seventy percent were seeing them after the Covid/jab in twenty percent of their corpses. And about twenty percent of embalmers saw a twenty-five percent increase in Infant Death after the Covid/jab.Continue readingUpcoming Liberty EventsInfinita City – Crypto Cities Build Month – June 1st-30th – Próspera Zone, Roatan (Honduras)Porcupine Freedom Festival – June 16th-22nd – Lancaster, NHDerrick Broze Portland Activation – June 17th – Portland13th International Freedom Cells Activation Call – June 25th, 12 PM (US Central) – Online EventMises University 2025 – July 20th-26th, 2025 – EventMidwest Peace and Liberty Festival – July 24th – 27th – Gregory, MIRon Paul’s Birthday BBQ – August 9th – Lake Jackson, TX (USA)Anarcon – Sept 26th-28th – Gore, VAMises Institute Supporters Summit 2025 – October 16th-18th, 2025 – Even’s LibertyFree Cities Conference: Returning to Prague – October 31st to November 2nd, 2025 – EventCHD 2025 Conference – November 7th-9th – Austin, TXMemes BonanzaTruth Music of the WeekSins of Our Mission by Ruthless Mike and Jude Roberts libertarian Intentional Community RoundupEtienne Note: We have rebranded our Free State Project Corner section in Five Meme Friday to: libertarian Intentional Community Roundup to cover other projects including Prospera (Honduras), The Free State Project (New Hampshire), Liberstad (Norway), Montelibero (Montenegro), Los Propietarios, (Argentina), Liberland (Croatia/Serbia border), Network States in general and Sea Steading (The Oceans).

PorcFest is the longest running freedom festival in the US and the annual conference and celebration of the Free State Project, which is relocating tens of thousands of libertarians, voluntaryists and peaceful anarchists to New Hampshire to roll back laws and reduce “government” to just protecting life, liberty and property.Etienne and Julie’s Journey Across the US.. So Far… Next stops ABQ, Austin, Dallas, and then back to MemphisIt is a real conundrum, as half of the Free State Project are voluntaryists, anarcho-capitalists and peaceful anarchists who know that “government” is a scam/illegitimate and half of the Free State Project are Statists who believe in that “Old Time Religion.” The Statists are kicking ass and taking names and New Hampshire appears to be the only place in the US where a “vote” actually matters so I wish them well and am helping where I can as there is nothing wrong with voting defensively.We are up here selling books and popularizing the concept of Privaticians vs. Politicians.

We are taught that the fractional reserve banking system means that banks are only loaning out a percentage of their deposits while maintaining a small deposit at the fed. As pointed out by prof Richard Werner in a paper, banks actually create over 90% of the money supply. They simply credit your account when you take out a loan and create an asset for themselves for the outstanding loan, essentially creating money out of thin air. This has always been the system we are just told that the fractional reserve system is reality.

This time it reportedly included the latest Fattah-1 hypersonic missiles, which made quite the dazzling impact all over Tel Aviv and northern Israel—a sight so spectacular it is rivaled only by last year’s Oreshnik strikes:The scenes were almost too unreal to believe, like something from an over-produced Michael Bay blockbuster. Among the targets was the Haifa refinery and Israeli research center of the Weizmann Institute for Science in Rehovot, near Tel Aviv:What role does Haifa’s refinery have, that Iran targeted? The Haifa Oil Refinery in northern occupied Palestine supplies more than 60% of Israel’s fuel needs, from gasoline and diesel to jet fuel for the Air Force. With these facilities damaged in tonight’s Iranian attack, Israel’s will face a fuel problem. This successful attack on Haifa’s refinery is a strategic blow to Israel’s economic and military backbone. The fact that Israel remains silent on the impacts on its refinery, and has not yet said anything but focused on the impact in Tamra—which I believe was caused by Israel’s own failed interceptor missile (we’ll have to see), shows that the damage was painful. And it’s only the beginning…Continue readingRanked: The Best College Degrees for Finding a Job in the U.S.By Bruno Venditti Graphics/Design: Anna DiederichsThis 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.Nutrition Sciences is the best college degree for finding a jobAerospace Engineering combines a relatively low unemployment rate with a high median salaryWhich college degrees are the best for finding a job?This graphic uses recent data compiled by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to examine the careers that offer the best prospect and their respective median salaries.Nutrition Sciences tops the list, with only 0.4% unemployment rate.

As a result, the world’s major military forces invest a staggering portion of their budgets to supply electricity, fuel, power plants, and all that goes with them as part of an increasingly complex supply line.However, no matter how much power technology improves, there’s still the ever-present problem of getting that power from Point A to Point B – a problem that is often insurmountable across the infamous last mile where power lines cannot be slung or pipelines buried and soldiers are often reduced to hauling jerry cans of fuel over rough country by hand and back muscle.DARPATo close this gap, DARPA’s POWER program seeks to build transmission lines of light where laser beams carry power to where it is required as easily as we now send data through the air.Continue readingDark-Money Network Funneled Millions Into ‘No Kings’ Nationwide Color Revolution Operationby Tyler DurdenSubmitted by Peter Schweizer & Seamus Bruner of the Government Accountability Institute,New Schweizer team investigation reveals how ‘No Kings’ and its partners bagged $114.8 million from the Arabella dark money network and how these professional protest organizations use tax dollars as a force multiplier.🚨 RIOT INC.

The Nimitz was previously scheduled to replace the USS Carl Vinson carrier strike group which has been deployed for several months, but is now heading to the Middle East ahead of schedule. The two will now be in the Middle East at the same time. The USS Nimitz is the oldest active aircraft carrier in the U.S. Navy, commissioned on May 3, 1975. Scheduled to be decommissioned in 2026, this is possibly its final sea voyage. This is a very significant symbolic deployment because it was deployed in 1980 and its helicopters that were part of the failed US effort known as Operation Eagle Claw to rescue the American hostages being held at the US Embassy in Tehran. The US has been in a shadow war against Iran ever since.Continue readingMinnesota Lawmaker Assassin Apprehended After Multi-Day Manhuntby Tyler DurdenVance Boelter, a 57-year-old former appointee by Minnesota Gov.

He is accused of murdering a Minnesota state lawmaker and her husband and wounding two others.”The face of evil. After relentless and determined police work, the killer is now in custody,” the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office wrote on Facebook late Sunday night, attaching an image of Boelter taken by police, adding, “Thanks to the dedication of multiple agencies working together along with support from the community, justice is one step closer.”The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office apprehended Boelter in Sibley County. Earlier, on Saturday morning, Boelter fatally shot former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. In a separate incident, he wounded State Senator John Hoffman, also a Democrat, and his wife, Yvette.Continue readingRanked: The 50 Richest Countries by GDP Per Capita in 2025By Pallavi Rao, Graphics/Design: Miranda SmithLuxembourg is the richest country in the world by GDP per capita, $141K in 2025.The U.S. is the richest country ($89K) with a population of more than 10 million.The top four ranks are countries known as offshore wealth centers.A number of oil-rich, small nations are also present on this list.GDP per capita is a rough proxy for a country’s average living standards. A higher GDP per capita usually reflects more economic resources available per person, a signal for prosperity.However, like all statistical measures there are caveats: it doesn’t account for income distribution, quality of life metrics, or how sustainable the economy is.Continue readingFDA Rubber-stamps Approval of Lab-grown Salmonby Veronika KyrylenkoThe Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared its first-ever lab-grown fish for sale in the United States — based entirely on data submitted by the manufacturer. Wildtype, a California-based food tech company, is now approved to serve its cell-cultivated coho salmon.This FDA approval makes Wildtype the fourth company cleared to market lab-grown animal products in the country. The salmon is now available on the menu at Kann, a high-profile Haitian restaurant in Portland. The company plans to roll out its “salmon” in four additional restaurants in the coming months, followed by a broader launch into the food-service sector.In its review, the FDA stated that it had “no questions” regarding the safety of Wildtype’s salmon. This bureaucratic phrasing marks the final step in the agency’s voluntary pre-market consultation process. The agency wrote:Continue readingWave Of USAF Tankers Depart America Amid Escalating Israel-Iran Conflictby Tyler DurdenIsrael’s ongoing military campaign, Operation Rising Lion, has conducted coordinated precision strikes against Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, crude oil export terminals, and high-value IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) targets since late last week. The scope and sequencing of these strikes—outlined in a Wall Street Journal op-ed in October 2024—suggest objectives that go well beyond deterrence, aiming instead to pave the way for regime change in Tehran.Speaking Sunday, President Trump emphasized that the U.S. “is not involved” in Israel’s strikes on Iran—adding, however, that “it’s possible we could get involved.””We’re not involved in it. It’s possible we could get involved. But we are not at this moment involved,” Trump told ABC News’ Rachel Scott.The president also took to Truth Social, positioning himself as mediator and de-escalator-in-chief, stating: “Iran and Israel should make a deal, and will make a deal.”Continue readingOur latest large study about excess mortality during Covid released today: Demonstration that there was no contagion or spread, only unnecessary harmby Denis Rancourt, CORRELATION, and Joseph HickeyLarge peaks of excess all-cause mortality occurred immediately following the World Health Organization (WHO)’s March 11, 2020 COVID-19 pandemic declaration, in March-May 2020, in several jurisdictions in the Northern Hemisphere. The said large excess-mortality peaks are usually assumed to be due to a novel and virulent virus (SARS-CoV-2) that spreads by person-to-person contact, and are often referred to as resulting from the so-called first wave of infections. We tested the presumption of this viral spread paradigm using high-resolution spatial and temporal variations of all-cause mortality in Europe and the USA.Continue readingDetachment 201: The Merger of Big Tech and the U.S. Armyby Derrick BrozeThe United States Army has officially launched “Detachment 201,” a first-of-its-kind partnership with executives from Big Tech firms Palantir, Meta, and OpenAI.The day before Donald Trump’s 250th anniversary parade for the U.S. Army, the Army swore in four Silicon Valley executives as Army Reserve lieutenant colonels as part of their new “Detachment 201: The Army’s Executive Innovation Corps.” The Army said the program was “designed to fuse cutting-edge tech expertise with military innovation.”The new Army Reserve lieutenant colonels are Shyam Sankar, chief technology officer for Palantir; Andrew Bosworth, chief technology officer for Meta; Kevin Weil, chief product officer for OpenAI; and Bob McGrew, advisor at Thinking Machines Lab and former chief research officer for OpenAI.Continue readingThe Israeli Strike on Iran, the JFK Assassination, and the 9/11 Attacks • 35m▶by Ron UnzMuch like individuals, countries may often become victims of their own great success.How Israel Killed the KennedysRon Unz • The Unz Review • March 24, 2025 • 11,500 WordsFact-Checking “How Israel Killed the Kennedys”• 15,300 WordsSeveral of my earlier JFK Assassination articles had received similar fact-checking endorsements from the Deep Research AI, beginning with my original pair of 2018 pieces:American Pravda: The JFK Assassination, Part I – What Happened?Ron Unz • The Unz Review • June 18, 2018 • 4,800 WordsFact-Checking “American Pravda: The JFK Assassination, Part I – What Happened?” • 13,700 WordsAmerican Pravda: The JFK Assassination, Part II – Who Did It?Ron Unz • The Unz Review • June 25, 2018 • 8,000 WordsFact-Checking “American Pravda: The JFK Assassination, Part II – Who Did It?” • 14,900 WordsContinue readingChief Israel planner at Pentagon bashes Jewish state publicly, extensivelyEtienne Note: This guy should be promoted!by Andrew Bernard(June 17, 2025 / JNS)Col. Nathan McCormack, the Levant and Egypt branch chief at the Joint Chiefs of Staff’s J5 planning directorate, has referred publicly to “Netanyahu and his Judeo-supremacist cronies,” to Washington having “overwhelmingly” enabled Israel’s “bad behavior” and pro-Israel activists in the United States prioritizing “support for Israel over our actual foreign interests.”JNS has learned that McCormack, who according to his LinkedIn account has held his current role since June 2024, has also bashed Israel as a “death cult” that is America’s “worst ally” on a semi-anonymous social-media handle, where he has written hundreds of posts since the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks about Jews and Israel.“The Western states go to great lengths to avoid criticism of Israel, much out of Holocaust guilt,” McCormack wrote on social media in April. “Israel’s actions over decades have prompted the accusations of ethnic cleansing and genocide.”Continue readingEminent Domain: Legal Land Grabs Continueby Conner DrigotasOn March 24, 2025, the Supreme Court of the United States declined to take up the case of Bowers Development, LLC. v. Oneida County Industrial Development Agency Et. Al., a decision that allows the practice of legalized theft through eminent domain to continue throughout America.In that case, Bryan Bowers had asked the Justices to review a ruling from the Supreme Court of New York that allowed Utica city officials to take land on which he had a contract to build and give it to a different private corporation for a separate construction project.In other words, Bowers hoped to stop government officials from using force to pick winners and losers in the construction industry. His plea fell on deaf ears.Though taking someone’s property by force seems shocking, it is also common, and legal for government agents to do. According to Ilya Somin, a professor of law at George Mason University, “Some 3 to 4 million Americans, most of them ethnic minorities, have been forcibly displaced from their homes as a result of urban renewal seizures since World War II.”Continue readingRanked: America’s Cheapest New Cars in 2025By Marcus Lu Graphics/Design: Sam ParkerThis 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.Finding a new car for under $20,000 is becoming increasingly difficult, with only 3 models below the thresholdThe average price of a new car in the U.S. is around $48,000Car prices in the U.S. have increased significantly since the COVID-19 pandemic, squeezing budget-conscious buyers.

While more than 1.6 million public school students used open enrollment across these states, the participation rates indicate that stronger policies could help thousands of additional students access public schools that better fit their needs.Currently, 29 states limit students’ traditional public school options to their residentially assigned public schools. Strong open enrollment laws, however, ensure that students can enroll in any public school with open seats, weakening the link between housing and schooling.Students often use this policy to transfer schools to help them escape bullying, access specialized courses, such as Advanced Placement classes, enroll in more highly-rated school districts, be in classes with fewer students, and shorten family commutes for work and after-school activities.Continue readingThe salary a single person needs to live comfortably in all 50 U.S. states—it’s over $120,000 in 2 placesby Kamaron McNair, www.cnbc.comAmericans earning a regular salary may have trouble living comfortably in all 50 states.The median annual wage for individuals was just below $62,000 at the end of 2024, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. But it takes a salary of at least $80,829 for a single adult to live comfortably in West Virginia, the most affordable state, according to a recent SmartAsset study.SmartAsset defines “comfortable” as earning enough to follow the 50/30/20 budget method, which recommends putting 50% of your income toward essentials like rent and food, 30% toward discretionary spending and 20% toward debt repayment and savings. It used the latest estimates from Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Living Wage calculator to estimate individuals’ cost of necessities in each state.Continue readingDemocrats press Palantir about reported creation of IRS ‘mega-database’By Edward Graham, nextgov.comA group of Democrats are demanding that Palantir provide Congress with additional information about its contracts with the federal government following reports that the tech company is working with the IRS to create a searchable database of U.S. taxpayers’ records.In a June 17-dated letter to Palantir CEO Alex Karp, the lawmakers asserted that the company “is enabling and profiting from serious violations of Federal law by the Trump Administration.”The missive — led by Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. — comes after an article published by The New York Times last month said the company’s work with the administration “began as a way to create a single, searchable database for the IRS, but has since expanded” into developing a centralized platform of information on Americans that would be sharable across federal agencies.Continue readingAir Taxi Company Signs $250M Deal to Sell 50 Flying Vehiclesby Chuck MartinAir taxi company Eve Air Mobility signed a contract to sell 50 of its electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles to Revo, an advanced air mobility operator in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and its parent company Helicopters International (OHI).Under the $250 million agreement, signed at the Paris Air Show 2025 this week, Revo would become the launch operator for the eVTOLs in São Paulo starting in 2027.Revo runs door-to-door mobility services with helicopter services connecting key Brazil locations.“This binding agreement with Revo and OHI is a pivotal step for Eve, demonstrating growing market confidence in our technology and operational model,” Johann Bordais, CEO of Eve Air said in the announcement.The electric aerial vehicles are expected to be used to fly passengers from airports to cities, much like the intended use of other planned air taxi services.Continue readingThe Incongruous, Curious Story of Minnesota Murder Suspect Vance Boelterby JW Williams, needtoknow.newsThe stories surrounding Vance Boelter are incongruous and quite curious, raising more questions that providing answers. Boelter is married, has five children and lives in a 4-bedroom house on 11 acres. Yet he also lived with roommates in a small home and worked for two funeral homes.John Carlson, the roommate of Boelter, said that Boelter voted for Trump and is a conservative who opposes abortion. Authorities are refusing to release a manifesto targeting Democrats and abortion rights activists, that was found in Boelter’s car. Yet flyers for the anti-Trump ‘No Kings’ protest were also found in the car.Boelter was appointed to state boards by Democratic governors twice.Boelter’s wife, Jennifer, was reported to have interned with Governor Walz in 2010 when he was in Congress, but the Governor’s office said that the intern was a different Jennifer Boelter.Continue readingDeterrence or death: Israel is making the case for a nuclear-armed Iranby Mathew MaavakJust hours after Israel launched its strikes on Iran in the early hours of Friday, June 13, U.S. President Donald J. Trump declared that it was “not too late” for Tehran to return to the negotiating table over its nuclear program. The level of delusion displayed by the joint aggressors here is simply staggering. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu justified the bombs being rained on Iranian cities as a means to bring “freedom”.The U.S.-Israeli axis sees no contradiction in reducing a sovereign nation to rubble while draping its aggression in humanitarian rhetoric. The strike came even as Washington and Tehran were engaged in protracted negotiations over the thorny nuclear issue. This is not diplomacy; this is coercion cloaked in diplomatic theatre. Worse, it will go down as a day of infamy in international relations: a moment when negotiation was used not to resolve conflict, but to disguise premeditated violence.Continue reading”Time Under Tension”: The World’s Dumbest & Most Useless Weight Lifting Principle?by Anthony ColpoEver since the mid-1990s, bodybuilding and strength authors have been banging on about the importance of “time under tension” (TUT). Increase TUT, they claim, and you will increase muscle and strength gains.But what on Earth are they talking about? Do they themselves even know?Ladies and gentlemen, today we’re going to take a closer look at the TUT phenomenon, and discover why it may just be the most useless training principle of all time.Much Ado About NothingI just typed “time under tension” into DuckDuckGo, and this is the AI-generated answer I got:So if we are to take this TUT charade literally, the best way to get bigger and stronger is to keep our muscles under tension every waking moment.
