Weaponized Confiscatory Inflation – The Crooked Monetary System Costs Average Workers $500K-$2 Million+ Over Lifetime
Using AI to Calculate the Cost to Society of Our Crooked Fractional Reserve Banking & Primary Dealer-Centric Monetary SystemBy Etienne de la Boetie2, Founder of the Art of Liberty Foundation, Anthropic’s Claude, and XAI’s Grok (Bitch-ass CIA Google Gemini refused to even speculate on our premise that fractional reserve banking was a criminal enterprise… I didn’t trust Open AI’s ChatGPT enough to even ask) Grok Vs Claude – How much has fractional reserve banking extracted from society in the US and globally from 1913 – 2025 and how much have the organized crime banks stolen through the process. Executive Summary – The organized crime banks appeared to have lobbied and bribed the “government” (and potentially installed and propagandized/indoctrinated/normalized a federal “government” in the United States) to allow them to engage in a financial scheme known as fractional reserve banking where they are allowed to create money out of thin air and loan it at interest even though the process is inflationary and steals the value of the money earned and saved by everyone else.This process has dramatically impoverished the average worker costing them, according to analysis done by the Grok and Claude AI models, between $500K-$1.2 million dollars over their lifetime vs. what they would have received through an honest non-inflationary monetary system. Under a gold standard system, workers could have done even better as the gold standard has been proven to be deflationary, reducing the costs of the luxuries and necessities of life year-over-year more fully transmitting the savings from innovations and productivity Improvements. The AI model predicts a lifetime delta across wages, savings erosion, inflated asset costs (housing, healthcare, education), and foregone compound purchasing power plausibly exceeds $2 million for a median worker.These losses includes the inflation/loss of purchasing power from excess money creation, the well recognized Cantillon effect of new dollars created being worth more to those who receive the funds first then losing value, and the compounding trap where worker must now borrow/borrow more to purchase assets and services driven up by inflation including housing, education, and healthcare.The system has simultaneously made the banks over $20 TRILLION dollars between 1913-2025 in 2025 dollars. It is an exorbitant privilege only afforded a favored few who are granted a “government” banking license. There is a 90-97% rejection rate in the US and European Union even after you meet the minimum reserve requirements of $10-100M dollars depending on your business plan/bank type.The System Has Many of the Hallmarks of an Organized Crime Partnership with the Federal Government and Monopoly Media/Academia.We believe these organized crime banks have used these “profits” in a variety of additionally criminal ways to both cement their exorbitant privilege and their hold on power including:Regulatory capture – On January 18, 2019 the Cambridge University Press published a stunning research paper from the Journal of Institutional Economics showing an amazing revolving door between regulators and the financial industry: The authors write: “Looking at the revolving door in the 20 biggest US diversified banks, we identified 304 revolvers, among which 155 are considered as prominent. These revolvers have undertaken 384 revolving door movements between public and private positions and vice versa, mostly undertaken between 1960 and 2015, corresponding to a total of 2,256 years of experience in public office.” This pattern is structural, not incidental. Consider the architecture of the capture: Timothy Geithner went from President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank directly to Treasury Secretary, then to Warburg Pincus private equity. Robert Rubin spent 26 years at Goldman Sachs, became Treasury Secretary under Clinton (where he repealed Glass-Steagall separating commercial and investment banking), then joined Citigroup’s board — a bank that immediately benefited from deregulation he championed. Hank Paulson was CEO of Goldman Sachs before becoming Treasury Secretary and administering the 2008 bailout that saved Goldman from its own bad bets. These are not anomalies; they are the system operating as designed. The revolving door is not corruption of the regulatory process — it is the regulatory process.Capture of the Economics Profession – 2015 EPI Report: ~30% top academics consulted for Federal Reserve. 2021 Stanford Hoover (Foote et al.): 42% of top 50 macro PhDs (1980s-2010s) held Fed research/staff roles. AEA 2023 Survey: ~25% of AEA members report Fed experience (consulting/visiting > full-time). The implications are profound: when virtually every prominent macroeconomist has either worked for the Federal Reserve, received Fed research grants, or depends on Fed data access for publication, the field cannot produce independent criticism of central banking. This dynamic was documented starkly in the 2010 documentary “Inside Job,” in which Columbia economist Frederic Mishkin — a former Fed governor — was shown to have been paid $124,000 by the Icelandic Chamber of Commerce to write a paper praising Iceland’s financial system shortly before its collapse. Mishkin had listed the paper on his CV as “Financial Stability in Iceland” but changed the title to “Financial Instability in Iceland” after the crash. The economics profession’s dependency on central bank funding is the primary reason mainstream economics has never seriously challenged the legitimacy of money creation ex nihilo.
Documentary: Who is at the Top of the Pyramid of Power – Part 2 – Derrick Broze and Etienne Weigh In
Volume 2 explores The Zionists, The Freemasons, The Jesuits, The Jesuit-Mason Connection, Venetian Black Nobility, The Illuminati, The Dark Occultists, The Otherworldly Evil and SolutionsEtienne Note: I was one of the tail-gunners in the last episode of The Pyramid of Power dropping the good news message that so many people are realizing there is a pyramid of power! I also break down the “One Way Revolution” of the Art of Liberty Foundation’s work: Once you understand that “government” has been: “The Biggest Scam in History” and the basics of Voluntaryism – We don’t really need illegitimate, immoral, illogical and easily-rigged “government” and REAL freedom would result in more harmony and prosperity for the world, most people abandon the scam of “government” which is a revolution that is only going in one direction. Who do I think is on the top of the Pyramid of Power? I break it down in the article below, but the executive summary is its obviously the banks creating money out of thin air which has allowed them to buy the world with their little paper tickets and create/fund the front groups and secret societies that allow them to project power. Which banksters sit at the Apex? Follow the money and who is puppeting the US “government” and military. The Rothschilds established Israel for the reasons I speculate on in the article. They funded the early settlers, the Knesset (Parliament building) and supreme court. They bailed out Trump in 1991 during his last major bankruptcy. Israel has received over $300 Billion (2025 dollars) in “foreign aid” from the US since 1948.. Even more in “indirect” aid, intelligence sharing and schemes like giving them “obsolete” weapons like fifteen F-15 fighters in 1991 (we are still flying the F-15 today) and fighting their wars in Yemen, Syria, and now Iran. The current war in Iran is projected to cost the US as much as $200 Billion dollars in direct costs and higher fuel and shipping. You don’t see those kind of sums going to the Vatican, Jesuits, or David Icke’s Aliens 😉 Who Runs the World? – Organized Crime’s Front Groups & Secret SocietiesWho Are the World Economic Forum, The Council of Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, Freemasonry, Bohemian Club, Skull & Bones and the Bilderberg GroupAn Art of Liberty Foundation White Rose MUCHO GRANDE Poster of a 2010 visualization by the Fund to Restore an Educated Electorate. The chart shows multi-decade “penetration of the cabinet” and Presidency, Vice Presidency, Congress, CIA, FBI, Banking, Central Banking, Universities, and Unions of just three organizations that Jeffrey Epstein was a member of. When people ask me who runs the world, my stock answer is something along the lines of: It appears to be Rothschild and Rockefeller Banking/Central Banking interests who hijacked the world using a variety of front organizations, NGOs, intelligence agencies, banks, central banks, supra-national banking institutions (BIS, World Bank, Import-Export Bank, IMF, etc.) and the cartel companies and monopoly media organizations they stole with fractional reserve dollars the banks are allowed to create out of thin air by the organized crime “government”.People, companies and organizations are controlled using this network and C-level executives, NGOs, and media organizations are organized under the World Economic Forum and Council on Foreign Relations.Video: Compilation of Zionists and Jews in the Media/Social Media/Search Engines (Control-of-Perception), Pornography (Cultural Debasement), Banking/Central Banking (Theft through fractional reserve banking), and “Government”/Politics to the hip hop beat of “I’m Not White, I’m Jewish” by Matt Bar Mitzvah: https://www.bitchute.com/video/3QFDi4pY9ccl/Much of the network, especially fractional reserve banking, central banking, monopoly media, and technology (Talpiot program companies covered below), is Jewish/politically Zionist because Jewish Rothschild interests have disproportionally benefited from fractional reserve banking, including owning M. A. Rothschild & Söhne in Frankfurt (1810–1901), N M Rothschild & Sons in London, Banque Rothschild in Paris (1817–1981), which was nationalized by the French government but later replaced by Rothschild & Cie Banque in 1986. S. M. von Rothschild in Vienna (1820–1938) and C M de Rothschild & Figli in Naples (1821–1863, and the Bank of California in the US. It has also been reported they had an investment in National City Bank (later Citibank) through their agent Moses Taylor. Evidence suggests that the Rothschilds had a significant influence on U.S. banking through the Second Bank of the United States (1816), where foreign investors, including the Rothschilds, held substantial stakes. Finally, the Rothchild network bought a 37% stake in Rockefeller Financial Services (now Rockefeller Capital Management) in 2012.The Rothchild network also figured prominently in the funding of Israel, we believe, as a political base of operations that gives their network “diplomatic” immunity and, in emergencies, safety from extradition from crimes committed in other parts of the world, and the ability for the entity to receive over $300 Billion in “foreign aid” from the US alone (Since 1948, adjusted for inflation) which is easily scammed by bribing and installing US politicians through AIPAC and Zionist-installed political puppets like Donald Trump.Donald Trump was bailed out by Zionist-connected Rothschild Inc. in 1991 during one of his six bankruptcies, was apparently swept up in the Jeffrey Epstein/Mossad “Brownstone Operation” blackmailing politicians and important people for Israel, was represented in Hollywood by Zionist Theatrical Agent Ari Emanuel (Brother of Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel) who helped raise Trump’s national exposure and “Create the Legend” of him as a successful businessman with NBC’s The Apprentice, and whose Presidential campaigns were primarily funded by Zionists, including Sheldon and Miriam Adelson who have contributed over $424,000,000 alone over three election cycles.The Republican Jewish Coalition and other AIPAC allies including Bernie Marcus and Paul Singer kicked in another $22-27 million (Estimates) and Susquehanna’s Jeff Yass kicked in $16 million.There were also what smelled like under the table payoffs to Trump like Zionist-connected Jeff Yass’s Susquehanna investing significantly in Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social when the company had lost $49 million in the nine months of 2023 through September while generating just $3.4 million in revenue. For 2025 the revenue barely rose to $3.7 million while the losses BALLOONED to an astonishing $712.3 million.What have the Zionists received for their investment in Trump, Biden, and the majority of the house and senate? Maybe the greatest ROI in history!Trump increased direct aid to Israel from $3.2 to $3.8 Billion a year starting in 2019. Joe Biden, who has received over $11 million from Zionist interests since 1990, gave Israel an additional $16.3-$17.9 billion over the $3.8 baseline in 2024 which was distributed by Trump in 2025. The total cost in direct aid to Israel has been estimated to be over $300 billion since 1948 in 2025 dollars.Israel receives additional billions from a variety of programs including loan guarantees, joint R&D and co-production for major military programs including Arrow and David’s Sling, Intelligence Sharing and Joint Exercises. One of the biggest programs is the Excess Defense Articles (EDA) program which has transferred over $6.6 billion in allegedly “outdated” military equipment including 15 F-15s in 1991 (The F-15 is still being flown today…), 10 CH-53A Sea Stallion Helicopters, and over 1,000+ military trucks to name but a few of the transferred items.All of this “aid” pales in the cost and potential costs of the US waging war on Iran for Israel.Operation Midnight Hammer which hit three Iranian nuclear facilities on June 22nd, 2025 cost an estimated $2.25 billion dollars.The first three days of the war have been estimated at between $1.6 – $2.3 billion not including the three $100 million dollar+ F-15s shot out of the sky by “friendly fire” in Kuwait yesterday alone.The total estimated cost:Short-term projection (Trump’s 4–5 week timeline): $6–8 billion (at sustained ~$220 million/day rates), potentially higher if escalation continues.- iran-cost-ticker.comDirect budgetary cost (Pentagon/munitions replacement, per Penn Wharton model): $40–95 billion (likely midpoint ~$65 billion); rises sharply if the operation exceeds 2 months. – fortune.comTotal economic cost to the US (including indirect effects like higher oil prices, disrupted trade via Strait of Hormuz, and market impacts): Up to $210 billion (wide range; additional ~$50–115 billion beyond direct military).None of these estimates include the potential loss of a US aircraft carrier(s), support vessels, or the tragedy of the human lies wasted in foreign wars for an organized crime “government” bribing, blackmailing, and installing US politicians.The US Senate, of which Tim Sheehy is a member, is rife with politicians who have received tens of millions of dollars from Israel for their campaigns.The US House of Representatives has also apparently been funded and installed by Zionist Israeli interests.Both Senators and almost every single representative from California have taken money from AIPAC!If AIPAC-supported reps in the US House of Representatives were their own political party, they would be THREE TIMES as large as the Republicans and Democrats who refuse to take AIPAC money.The Same dynamic is in play in the Executive Branch, where Zionist funded political puppets like Trump and Biden appear to be forced to staff the most important positions in the cabinet, intelligence agencies, executive branch, regulatory agencies, treasury, and Federal Reserve Board with pro-Israel Zionist Jews. This is a RED FLAG LEVEL statistical improbability and not representative of the demographic makeup of the country, where Jews are around 2% of the population.The Jewish Staff from the White House alone during the Biden AdministrationThe State of Israel has also received billions in Holocaust Reparations from primarily Germany, which was most likely engineered through easily rigged political processes.Visualizations of Jewish Zionists Installed in Organized Crime Monopoly Media Companies by the Jewish Management Installed by the Fractional Reserve Bankers Providing Unlimited Capital to Monopolize the Media to Conceal the Theft of TrillionsThey elevate their own for the same reasons that the Italian mafia is overwhelmingly Italian and Catholic.It isn’t “The Jews,” it is inter-generational organized crime some of whom happen to be Jewish and elevate their own for familial and community relationships where the members are somewhat isolated and compacted into a group dynamic around their religion.This network is hiding within the Jewish people, but 99% of Jews globally and 90% of Jews in Israel have nothing to do with it, and the organized crime “government” of Israel is running the same unethically manipulative tricks on the Israeli population while forcing the same deadly and crippling “vaccines” while tax farming them with the same confiscatory taxation.Various other power factions run the gambit from old-line European royalty to “Big Tech” control-of-perception internet companies to Israel, China, Russia to the Vatican. The dominant US network is eugenics in outlook and goals because that was the belief system of the folks who created and funded the network (David Rockefeller, JP Morgan, Andrew Carnegie). Some of the greatest fortunes in history were left to foundations that continue their work and exercise influence in the network, especially the Rockefeller Foundation, Wellcome Trust, Gates Foundation, Carnegie Foundations and others.Iain Davis’s Policy Power Structure DiagramWhile it is impossible to know who is at the boardroom table because real power exercises itself from the shadows, you can SEE and understand the NETWORKs of people, companies and organizations through which that power is exercised. You can follow quid pro quo, understand how the money circulates through regulatory capture agencies and monopoly media companies.The key thing about these networks that are global and represent power centers and public/private intelligence networks around the world is they are all using “government” to rob and control their own populations. You might get a socialist “government” or commie “government” or “freedom government,” but you are getting “government,” and it is always being controlled by these inter-generational networks.In our article: Control of the Media and, by Extension, Human Perception we featured two 2017 charts showing how just three organizations, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Bilderberg Group, and the Trilateral Commission include in their membership the key publishers, editors, and journalists at essentially every major network, wire service, Hollywood studio, newspaper of record, internet publication, and other sources of “news” and cult-ure creation. Convicted pedophile and apparent Mossad asset Jeffrey Epstein was a member of all three groups and running an apparent blackmail operation on politicians and prominent individuals as another method of control.An Art of Liberty Foundation White Rose MUCHO GRANDE Poster of a 2010 visualization by the Fund to Restore an Educated Electorate. The chart shows multi-decade “penetration of the cabinet” and Presidency, Vice Presidency, Congress, CIA, FBI, Banking, Central Banking, Universities, and Unions of just three organizationsThe 2010 chart above shows how that control extends to everything from the Presidency, Congress, Judicial, IMF, CIA, FBI and other key positions of power. Here is a short primer on each of these organizations, plus others where organized crime recruits, trains, organizes and gets their membership together for meetings. Just because someone is a member of these organizations doesn’t make them a criminal. Many are recruited and found too honest/moral for the higher levels of the program or are dupes used as window dressing, I.E., “Porch Masons.” Some organization’s members also undergo classic, unethically manipulative cult indoctrination techniques to ensure their conformity to the required control/secrecy.A Popular Meme Calling out CFR Members in the “Government”The Council on Foreign Relations – “The Council on Foreign Relations is the American branch of a society which organized in England . . .

Trilaterals Over Washington by Patrick Wood and Antony Sutton.The Trilateral Commission – was formed in 1973 by private citizens of Japan, Europe (European Union countries), and North America (United States and Canada) to foster closer cooperation among these core democratic industrialized areas of the world with shared leadership responsibilities in the wider international system. “The Trilateral Commission is international . . . (and) . . . is intended to be the vehicle for multinational consolidation of the commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the political government of the United States.” -With No Apologies, by Senator Barry GoldwaterA close-up crop of the Ultimate Bilderberg Chart of Connected Politicians, Corporations and Organizations.

The Bilderberg has no membership per see, but attendees who have been invited by the steering committee sometimes year-after-year. American politicians routinely attend even though it violates the Logan Act prohibiting officeholders from conducting secret meetings where policy decisions are discussed and made.Freemasonry – Quasi-secret society that exists publicly, but its criminality and secrets are only revealed to higher-level members. All are bound to secrecy in a blood oath, and members work to advance each other in business and politics, especially the courts, police and local, state and federal governments. Created the 1st “gang sign,” the masonic “Hidden Hand,” found in tens of dozens of portraits and photographs of prominent masons, including those guilty of the murder of tens of millions through war and forced socialism/communism. IMPORTANT: We are not saying that all Freemasons are unindicted conspirators. Please see my joint article and interview with Mark Passio: An Open Letter to Freemasonry – It’s Time to Clean the Lodge!“Free Mason Lyndon Johnson appointed Mason Earl Warren to investigate the death of … John.F. Kennedy. Mason and member of the 33rd degree, Gerald R. Ford, was instrumental in suppressing what little evidence of a conspiratorial nature reached the commission. Responsible for supplying information to the commission was Mason, FBI Director and member of the 33rd degree, J. Edgar Hoover. Former CIA director and Mason Allen Dulles was responsible for most of his agency’s data supplied to the panel”.- From King Kill 33“Don’t Taze Me, Bro!” – Many people are familiar with the meme. Still, few understand that University of Florida Student Andrew Meyer asked “Democrat” John Kerry if he and “Republican” Presidential “opponent” George Bush Jr. were in the secret society Skull and Bones right before he gets arrested and tazed.Skull & Bones – Secret society at Yale University created and endowed by opium dealers (Russell Trust) that “taps” 15 new members of each junior class. Membership includes 3 US Presidents (Bush Sr., Bush Jr. and Taft). The 2004 Presidential election between Bush Jr. and John Kerry was between two members of an organization that has less than 600 living alumni at any one time. Heavily connected to the intelligence agencies.Bohemian Club – Famous for its roster of past US Presidents, power brokers and their Bohemian Grove retreat, where members encamp in a private, secure redwood grove in California for two weeks (3 weekends) in July and burn a child in effigy in an occult ritual known as “Cremation of Care.”World Economic Forum – The WEF appears to be an off-shoot of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the US branch of Cecil Rhodes’s Anglo American imperialist “Round Table” network that had established outposts in most Anglo countries and “penetrated the cabinets” (and media) in the US and Europe in previous decades (and currently) the exact same way that Schwab’s WEF has done in this decade. The WEF appears to be a front for this network and the intelligence agencies. The WEF sits at the intersection of “government”, central banking, fractional reserve banking, and what appear to be companies that have been acquired and monopolized using money stolen through fractional reserve banking.The WEF is the newest front organization that provides organized crime interests the reason for large-scale meetings in secure facilities and provides a framework for organizing 1,000+ companies, NGOs, and media organizations.The WEF’s Young Global Leaders Program is a talent identification program for identifying, developing and integrating the next generation of political puppets, media propagandists, and corporate apparatchiks into key positions in the inter-generational organized crime system.Other Organizations, Companies, People and Groups of Interest:Pilgrim Society – Founded to foster Anglo- American relations between Great Britain and the United States, many believe it to be an organization that organizes Anglo control over its “former” colony.ISGP’s Superclass Index – mainly consisting of the closest friends of the late David Rockefeller, is by far the most important though. They have built and dominated this global network from at least the 1950s to the 2020s. Is this network still being wielded today? Was it used in the Covid?Supranational Top 400 – A list compiled by the Institute for the Study of Globalization and Covert Politics of the top individuals serving and participating in supra-national organizations like Bilderberg, the Trilateral Commission, United Nations, and participating in the control of “governments,” central banking, banking and other such activities. supra-national organizations engaged in color revolution, “democracy,” weaponized media, activist training or other “government” control techniques.Rhodes Scholars – Talent identification and scholarship program for Cecil Rhodes’ round table groups, Provides funding for college scholarships, stipends, and future network development. Many fundees go on to serve in “government” at top levels, and participate in CFR/WEF/Bilderberg/Trilateral conferences while advancing the network effect.Apparently, installed politicians include: U.S. President Bill Clinton, Bill Bradley – “Hall of Fame career in basketball before entering the Senate in 1978 and running as a presidential candidate in the 2000 primary. Also in 2000, Bradley was offered the chairmanship of the United States Olympic Committee, which he turned down. He currently is a member of the board of directors of the American Committee on East-West Accord.” Dean Rusk – U.S. Secretary of State from 1961 to 1969 under presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. James William Fulbright- elected to the House of Representatives in 1943, then served in the Senate from 1945 to 1974. Soon after, he established the Fulbright Program to provide grants for students and professionals to study, teach and conduct research abroad. To date, more than 400,000 individuals have received Fulbright grants., Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) Strobe Talbot – “Deputy Secretary of State from 1994 to 2001. Talbott was also president of the Brookings Institution — a Washington, D.C.-based political research facility that helped negotiate an end to the war in Yugoslavia in 1999. Talbott currently sits on the advisory board of the D.C. non-profit America Abroad Media.” and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg (D) has been member.Journalists include: George Stephanopoulos, who was a former WH Chief-of-Staff as well.Covid 19 Participants: Tim Evans- former Rockefeller Foundation Director and Event 201 participantJohn Bell – UK Vaccine Task Force. He was interviewed by Jon Snow on Britain’s Channel 4 News on August 24, 2020[3], about when the COVID-19 Vaccine would be available. He replied that the vaccines might be available by Autumn but continued that “These [COVID-19] vaccines are unlikely to completely sterilize a population.

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

According to the statement, the incident caused investigators to lose access to roughly 500 terabytes of stored information.

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

AIPAC Senator Tim Sheehy Breaks the Hand of Marine Veteran Who Tells Senate: No One Wants to Fight for Israel
Senator Sheehy is a Former “Beltway Bandit” and One of DOZENS of “Former” Intelligence Agency & Military Industrial Complex Operatives Apparently Being Installed in CongressAfter Brian McGinnis, a US Marine Veteran, stood up in an Armed Services Subcommittee hearing to announce that “No One Wants to Fight for Israel,” US Senator Tim Sheehy, a former Special Operations “Order Follower” turned “Beltway Bandit” who has received over $640,000 from AIPAC, tried to silence the Marine and appears to have broken the Marine’s hand trying to eject him from the hearing. Sheehy has, BTW, been accused of lying about being wounded in Afghanistan when he was actually wounded by a negligent, accidental firearm discharge in Glacier National Park in 2015. Sheehy is Illustrative of US Politicians Who Appear Installed/Bought Off by Organized Crime IsraelAt the Art of Liberty Foundation, our thesis is that “government” is best thought of as a technique for robbing and controlling populations. It is obviously illegitimate on its face and is being run as a criminal enterprise, with TRILLIONS of dollars flowing out the back door to identifiable interests. At the top of the organized crime pyramid is an inter-generational organized crime system centered around Rothschild banking and central banking interests, subsidiaries, and front organizations that is primarily Jewish for the same reasons that the mafia is primarily Italian and Catholic.We believe this organized crime system established Israel as a base of operations to give itself “diplomatic immunity,” safety from extradition in other countries, and the ability to receive hundreds of billions of dollars in “foreign aid” and repartitions where the US has provided over $300 billion (2025 dollars) since 1948 alone. The US, led by Zionist funded and installed political puppets, is now illegally engaged in a foreign war for Israel, where the ultimate cost to the US has been estimated at as much as $200 billlion in addition to the lives lost and potential for additional US deaths. Donald Trump was bailed out by Zionist-connected Rothschild Inc. in 1991 during one of his six bankruptcies, was apparently swept up in the Jeffrey Epstein/Mossad “Brownstone Operation” blackmailing politicians and important people for Israel, was represented in Hollywood by Zionist Theatrical Agent Ari Emanuel (Brother of Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel) who helped raise Trump’s national exposure and “Create the Legend” of him as a successful businessman with NBC’s The Apprentice, and whose Presidential campaigns were primarily funded by Zionists, including Sheldon and Miriam Adelson who have contributed over $424,000,000 alone over three election cycles. The US Senate, of which Tim Sheehy is a member, is rife with politicians who have received tens of millions of dollars from Israel for their campaigns. The US House of Representatives has also apparently been funded and installed by Zionist Israeli interests. Many of the Members Installed by this Organized Crime System have Dual-Citizenship and hold Israeli Passports so they can flee from extradition if exposed. If AIPAC-supported reps in the US House of Representatives were their own political party, they would be THREE TIMES as large as the Republicans and Democrats who refuse to take AIPAC money.The Same dynamic is in play in the Executive Branch, where Zionist funded political puppets like Trump and Biden appear to be forced to staff the most important positions in the cabinet, intelligence agencies, executive branch, regulatory agencies, treasury, and Federal Reserve Board with pro-Israel Zionist Jews. This is a RED FLAG LEVEL statistical improbability and not representative of the demographic makeup of the country, where Jews are around 2% of the population. The Jewish Staff from the White House alone during the Biden AdministrationWe believe these same inter-generational organized crime systems have used the unlimited fiat paper tickets they create through fractional reserve banking to buy up and monopolize the media. This keeps the theft of fractional reserve banking inflation and the transfer/theft of trillions of dollars out of the “news” while allowing organized crime to further influence the easily rigged political process. FL Congressional Rep and ex-casino exec Randy “The Hebrew Hammer” Fine, who has received almost $500K from AIPAC, was even caught illegally “Ghost Voting” for other members on a bill seeking to outlaw boycotts of IsraelInterestingly, Senator Sheehy is Also a “CIA Republican” and “Beltway Bandit”Please see our article: CIA Democrats (and Republicans!) – Are You Getting Your Politicians from the CIA, which breaks down how DOZENS of “former” intelligence agency and Military Industrial Complex officials, including Navy SEALs like Sheehy, who have likely had working relationships with the intelligence agencies, are apparently being funded for congressional races also at a RED FLAG statistically improbable-level. Sheehy was also a “Beltway Bandit,” the popular term for military-industrial complex contractors who make over-priced weapons systems used in foreign wars based on lies and manufactured intelligence. Sheehy is the founder of two “government” contractors: Bridger Aerospace and drone manufacturer Ascent Vision Technologies (acquired by defense contractor CACI). Interestingly, both companies have the 666 Masonic “gang sign” hidden in their corporate logos. Senator Tim Sheehy is worth $163.8M, as of January 25th, 2026. This is the 11th highest net worth in Congress and was reported to have made $12 million in stock market gains in January 2026 alone.BTW, the author of this article was raised in the Jewish faith, Bar Mitsvahed, now self-describes as monotheistic and spiritual, loves his family and the Jewish people and is not the least bit “antisemitic.” It’s not “The Jews,” it’s Jewish organized crime hiding within and exploiting the Jewish people and religion for selfish gain.

Our Tribute to F.A. Hayek – Nobel Laureate Economist Who [Intellectually!] Destroyed Socialism
Bio, Quotes, Memes, Rap Battles and a FREE Paperback Copy of the new book: Hayek for the 21st Century- Essays in Political EconomyThe Art of Liberty Foundation is honoring the Nobel Laureate F.A. Hayek, one of the most important economists to have ever lived, with a campaign that will both syndicate the new book: Hayek for the 21st Century – Essays in Political Economy and provide free paperback copies of the book to anyone who goes paid on our Substack as an annual member and/or orders anything from ArtOfLiberty.org/store. This introduction to F.A. Hayek includes his biography, memes, quotes, “Rap Battles” with economist Lord John Maynard Keynes, and the first installment of our syndication of Hayek for the 21st Century – Essays in Political Economy: The Introduction to the book by Thomas J DiLorenzo, President of the Mises Institute & Editor of Hayek for the 21st CenturyWe are also adding the full PDF of Hayek for the 21st Century to our uncensorable flash drive of Freedom: The Liberator. Biography F. A. Hayek’s life spanned the twentieth century, and he made his home in some of the great intellectual communities of the period.Born Friedrich August von Hayek in 1899 to a distinguished family of Viennese intellectuals, Hayek attended the University of Vienna, earning doctorates in 1921 and 1923. Hayek came to the University at age 19 just after World War I, when it was one of the three best places in the world to study economics (the others being Stockholm and Cambridge).Like many students of economics then and since, Hayek chose the subject not for its own sake, but because he wanted to improve social conditions—the poverty of postwar Vienna serving as a daily reminder of such a need. Socialism seemed to provide a solution. Then in 1922 Mises published his Die Gemeinwirtschaft, later translated as Socialism. “To none of us young men who read the book when it appeared,” Hayek recalled, “the world was ever the same again.” It was around this time that Hayek began attending Mises’s famed Privatseminar. For several years the Privatseminar was the center of the economics community in Vienna.Later, Hayek became the first of this group to leave Vienna; most of the others, along with Mises himself, were also gone by the start of World War II.At the L.S.E. Hayek lectured on Mises’s business-cycle theory, which he was refining and which, until Keynes’s General Theory came out in 1936, was rapidly gaining adherents in Britain and the U.S. and was becoming the preferred explanation of the Depression. Hayek and Keynes had sparred in the early 1930s in the pages of the Economic Journal, over Keynes’s Treatise on Money.Within a very few years, however, the fortunes of the Austrian School suffered a dramatic reversal. Mises left Vienna in 1934 for Geneva and then New York, where he continued to work in isolation; Hayek remained at the L.S.E. until 1950, when he joined the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago. Other Austrians of Hayek’s generation became prominent in the U.S. but their work no longer seemed to show distinct traces of the tradition founded by Carl Menger.At Chicago Hayek again found himself among a dazzling group. But economic theory, in particular its style of reasoning, was rapidly changing. In addition, Hayek had ceased to work on economic theory, concentrating instead on psychology, philosophy, and politics, and Austrian economics entered a prolonged eclipse.When the 1974 Nobel Prize in economics went to Hayek, interest in the Austrian School was suddenly and unexpectedly revived. Hayek’s writings were taught to new generations, and Hayek himself appeared at the early Institute for Humane Studies conferences in the mid-1970s. He continued to write, producing The Fatal Conceit in 1988, at the age of 89.Hayek died in 1992 in Freiburg, Germany, where he had lived since leaving Chicago in 1961.Among mainstream economists, he is mainly known for his popular The Road to Serfdom (1944) and for his work on knowledge in the 1930s and 1940s. Specialists in business cycle theory recognize his early work on industrial fluctuations, and modern information theorists often acknowledge Hayek’s work on prices as signals, although his conclusions are typically disputed. Hayek’s work is also known in political philosophy, legal theory, and psychology.Within the Austrian School of economics, Hayek’s influence, while undeniably immense, has very recently become the subject of some controversy. His emphasis on spontaneous order and his work on complex systems has been widely influential among many Austrians. Others have preferred to stress Hayek’s work in technical economics, particularly on capital and the business cycle, citing a tension between some of Hayek’s and Mises’s views on the social order.Hayek’s writings on capital, money, and the business cycle are widely regarded as his most important contributions to economics. Building on Mises’s Theory of Money and Credit (1912), Hayek showed how fluctuations in economy-wide output and employment are related to the economy’s capital structure. In Prices and Production (1931) he introduced the famous “Hayekian triangles” to illustrate the relationship between the value of capital goods and their place in the temporal sequence of production.In Monetary Theory and the Trade Cycle (1933) Hayek showed how monetary injections, by lowering the rate of interest below what Mises (following Wicksell) called its “natural rate,” distort the economy’s intertemporal structure of production. Most theories of the effects of money on prices and output (then and since) consider only the effects of the total money supply on the price level and aggregate output or investment.Hayek’s writings on dispersed knowledge and spontaneous order are also widely known, but more controversial. In “Economics and Knowledge” (1937) and “The Use of Knowledge in Society” (1945) Hayek argued that the central economic problem facing society is not, as is commonly expressed in textbooks, the allocation of given resources among competing ends.It is rather a problem of how to secure the best use of resources known to any of the members of society, for ends whose relative importance only those individuals know. Or, to put it briefly, it is a problem of the utilization of knowledge not given to anyone in its totality.Clearly, the Austrian revival owes much to Hayek. He ranks among the greatest members of the Austrian School, and among the leading economists of the twentieth century. His work continues to be influential in business cycle theory, comparative economic systems, political and social philosophy, legal theory, and even cognitive psychology. Hayek remains one of the most intriguing intellectual figures of our time.Fear the Boom and Bust: Keynes vs. Hayek – The Original Economics Rap Battle!F.A Hayek vs. John Maynard Keynes square off in Fear the Boom and Bust – The Original Economics Rap Battle where Keynes, who advocated “government” action during periods of recession and depression and “wants to steer markets” squares off against F.A Hayek, who advocates for low taxation and savings-led investment by those who best understand their industries… Hayek “wants them set free” Full Lyrics Here: https://genius.com/John-papola-fear-the-boom-and-bust-hayek-vs-keynes-lyricsFight of the Century: Keynes vs. Hayek – Economics Rap Battle Round TwoFull Lyrics Here: https://genius.com/Econstories-fight-of-the-century-lyricsWhich way should we choose?More bottom-up or more top-down?The fight continuesKeynes and Hayek, second roundIt’s time to weigh inMore from the top or from the ground?Let’s listen to the greatsKeynes and Hayek throwin’ downIntroduction to Hayek for the 21st Century Introduction by Thomas J DiLorenzo, President of the Mises Institute & Editor of Hayek for the 21st Century The rest of Hayek for the 21st Century will be syndicated in the coming weeks. In a February 7, 2000, article in The New Yorker, journalist John Cassidy wrote that “it is hardly an exaggeration to refer to the twentieth century as the Hayek century.” He said this because of Friedrich Hayek’s prominent role throughout the century in defending free market capitalism and his critiques of socialism, especially his writings on the importance of decentralized knowledge in economic decision-making. Hayek lived to see his ideas proven correct with the worldwide collapse of socialism in the late eighties and early nineties. Watching the images of the collapse on television he said to his son, “I told you so.” The Knowledge Problem The “knowledge problem” is Hayek’s key contribution to the critique of socialism. It recognizes the commonsense notion that what makes the economic world go around is the use of knowledge by all kinds of people with diff erent abilities, educations, experiences, and skills. Th anks to this international division of labor and knowledge, we collaborate “as though led by an invisible hand” in order to mutually prosper. It all depends of course on freedom—the freedom to own property, to pursue a profession of your Introduction 7 8 Hayek for the 21st Century choosing, to start and run a business, to buy and sell, to be guided in your decisions by free market prices. By contrast, socialism in all of its varieties is based on the opposite idea—that what is supposedly needed for prosperity is totalitarian powers in the hands of a small number of politicians and “planners” who will forcefully impose a single plan on an entire society. Hayek labeled this “the fatal conceit” of socialism in his last book. Th e entire world now knows that he was right, and all of the socialist tyrants and their propagandists and court historians were (and are) wrong. Hayek’s “The Use of Knowledge in Society” and “The Pretense of Knowledge,” reprinted here, are the two best expositions of the Hayekian knowledge problem. Indeed, John Cassidy credited Hayek with providing an explanation of the workings of “the information age” of the internet that would develop some fifty years after he first started writing about the importance of decentralized information in society. Th is is not mere speculation on Cassidy’s part. As just one example, the cofounder of Wikipedia, Jimmy Wales, claims to have gotten the idea for Wikipedia as an Auburn University undergraduate finance student aft er Mises Institute Research Fellow Mark Thornton got him to read “The Use of Knowledge in Society.” Hayek called free market capitalism guided by private property and free market prices a “telecommunications system,” which Cassidy suggested was “one of the great insights of the [twentieth] century.” Hayek’s Demolition of Socialists and Their Ideas Hayek wrote in a 1961 Southern Economic Journal article (“The Non Sequitur of the ‘Dependence Effect,’” republished here) that for over a hundred years socialists had argued that “the problem of production” had been solved, so that “only the problem of distribution remains.” At the time, the “latest form of this old contention” was in the form of numerous books by the socialist Harvard economist John Kenneth Galbraith, the best known of which was The Affluent Society. Galbraith argued in books and articles that all “essential needs” are already met, and that most of what people think are other “needs” are really fake needs created by the brainwashing effects of advertising. Only “innate” needs that we think of ourselves are useful, said Galbraith; everything else that is brought to our attention by others is therefore useless and wasteful. Therefore, the argument went, government should tax more and spend more for what it deems to be our genuinely useful needs. What is genuinely useful would of course be determined by politicians—presumably with the assistance of John Kenneth Galbraith.Hayek called this argument “a complete non sequitur.” It implies for one thing that “the whole cultural achievement of man is not important.” The only genuinely innate human needs, said Hayek, are food, shelter, and sex. Everything else is brought to our attention by someone. Hayek’s article is a complete demolition of the Galbraithian system and his life’s work of promoting what Hayek called increasing “the share of the resources whose use is determined by political authority and the coercion of any dissenting minority.” In 1949 Hayek authored “The Intellectuals and Socialism” in The University of Chicago Law Review. His argument is as relevant today as it was then—if not more relevant. Contrary to the common argument that “intellectuals” have little influence on day-to-day discussions about public policy, Hayek argued that “over somewhat longer periods they have probably never exercised so great an influence as they do today.” He pointed out that socialism was never a “working class” movement but was always hatched from the utopian dreams of “theorists” who spent 10 decades preaching their socialist utopianism in university classrooms and all throughout the culture. In many countries the result of this decades-long propagandizing for socialism was that the views held by socialist intellectuals became “the governing force of politics,” wrote Hayek. The “intellectual” spreaders of socialist ideas were not just academics but also “journalists, teachers, ministers, lecturers, publicists, radio commentators, writers of fiction, cartoonists, and artists,” among many others, including “scientists and doctors.” It is “the intellectuals in this sense who decide what views and opinions are to reach us.” Eventually, so many institutions are taken over by socialists that an intellectual who espouses the philosophical foundations of a free society, by contrast, “soon discovers that it is unsafe to associate too closely with those who seem to share most of his convictions and he is driven into isolation.” This sounds like a perfect description of today’s American university world. Nevertheless, all is not lost, Hayek concluded. What is needed is education about a classical “liberal Utopia” to counter the endless promises of socialist utopias—not a “diluted kind of socialism,” he wrote, but a “truly liberal radicalism” that does not pull punches to please any special interest group. Leave the compromising to the politicians, he advised. Hayek was relentless in his devastating critiques of socialism and interventionism, and nowhere is this more on display than in his essay “The Meaning of Competition.” By the 1940s the academic economics profession had adopted a straw-man argument version of competition. Rather than the Austrian School conception of competition as a dynamic, rivalrous discovery process, competition was newly defined as a static situation where “many” business firms all produced a homogeneous product and charged identical prices in a world where all market participants had “perfect knowledge” of everything—what consumers wanted, how to minimize costs and maximize profits, and so on. They called it “perfect competition.” In his essay Hayek explained that “‘perfect’ competition means indeed the absence of all competitive activities” because all of it—product differentiation, price cutting, mergers, advertising—was all assumed away by the perfect competition “model.” This method of analysis was later labeled a “nirvana fallacy” by UCLA economist Harold Demsetz. Positing a utopian never-never land and comparing it to the real world, and then condemning real-world markets as “failed” because they are “imperfect,” is one of the biggest hoaxes ever perpetrated by the economics profession. In “Choice in Currency” Hayek did not oppose government issuance of money but instead opposed governmental monopoly and governments’ “power to limit the kinds of money in which contracts may be concluded.” Competing currencies could be valued “in seconds” with “electronic calculators,” Hayek wrote, long before the invention of the cell phone. Competition in currencies would be the path to honest money, for “even the slightest deviation from the path of honesty would reduce the demand for their product.” It is little wonder that Hayek’s writings on competing currencies have become enormously popular among advocates of cryptocurrencies. Hayekian Political Philosophy Oddly enough, despite all of his contributions to economic science and his Nobel Prize, what Friedrich Hayek is most known for among the general public is his writings on political philosophy, in particular his infamous book The Road to Serfdom, a critique of collectivism in all its forms. Hayek did not distinguish between fascism and socialism, the former being just a variant of the latter, with a common hatred of private property, free enterprise, economic freedom in general, constitutionalism, and the rule of law. The most famous chapter of The Road to Serfdom is chapter 10, “Why the Worst Get on Top,” republished here. Since any kind of socialism requires a central plan for all of society, it also requires the use of massive governmental force (and censorship of critics) to implement the plan. Consequently, the kind of people who would rise to the top of such a system are those with the fewest qualms about coercing, imprisoning, and brutalizing (or worse) their fellow citizens, wrote Hayek. That is why, he wrote, “the practice of socialism is everywhere totalitarian.” Hopefully, this brief introduction has helped the reader to understand why the journalist John Cassidy was so inspired by the power of Hayek’s scholarship and writings that he made a case that the entire twentieth century (the good parts of it, anyway) should be thought of as “the Hayek century.” Ludwig von Mises was surely right when, he said that “Doctor Hayek . . . will be remembered as one of the great economists of all time”. Thomas J. DiLorenzo Quotes & Memes“From the fact that people are very different it follows that, if we treat them equally, the result must be inequality in their actual position, and that the only way to place them in an equal position would be to treat them differently. Equality before the law and material equality are therefore not only different but are in conflict with each other; and we can achieve either one or the other, but not both at the same time”― Friedrich August von Hayek, Constitution of Liberty“Fascism is the stage reached after communism has proved an illusion.”― Friedrich von Hayek“The argument for liberty is not an argument against organization, which is one of the most powerful tools human reason can employ, but an argument against all exclusive, privileged, monopolistic organization, against the use of coercion to prevent others from doing better.”― Friedrich August von Hayek, The Constitution of Liberty
FiveMemeFri-Israel Installs Trump – Trump Attacks Iran for Israel – US Cost to Hit $200 billion
+ Suspected CIA-Conference Anarchapulco at Center of Puerto Vallarta Cartel ViolenceDear Subscribers,Well.. We are late getting out Five Meme Friday and in the interim Israeli puppet Donald Trump has launched a war with Iran for Israel. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said publicly that we attacked Iran because we knew Israel was going to attack Iran: “we knew that there was going to be an Israeli action, we knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn’t preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties.”So Israel is now dictating the foreign policy of the United States.In my Epic (Fact-Checked!) Rant Exposing Trump’s Criminality & Installation as Zionist Puppet, I made the case that Zionist interests had Trump by the short hairs after Rothschild Inc., restructured his 1991 Bankruptcy and swept him up in the Jeffrey Epstein / MOSSAD “Brownstone Operation.” They “Created His Legend” with The Apprentice even though he had declared bankruptcy multiple times. They financed both his campaigns with over $400 Million across three election cycles from the Adelsons alone. The Republican Jewish Coalition and other AIPAC allies including Bernie Marcus and Paul Singer kicked in another $22-27 million (Estimates) and Susquehanna’s Jeff Yass kicked in $16 million.There were also what smelled like under the table payoffs to Trump like Zionist-connected Jeff Yass’s Susquehanna investing significantly in Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social when the company had lost $49 million in the nine months of 2023 through September while generating just $3.4 million in revenue. For 2025 the revenue barely rose to $3.7 million while the losses BALLOONED to an astonishing $712.3 million. What have the Zionists received for their investment in Trump, Biden, and the majority of the house and senate? Maybe the greatest ROI in history!Trump increased direct aid to Israel from $3.2 to $3.8 Billion a year starting in 2019. Joe Biden, who has received over $11 million from Zionist interests since 1990, gave Israel an additional $16.3-$17.9 billion over the $3.8 baseline in 2024 which was distributed by Trump in 2025. The total cost in direct aid to Israel has been estimated to be over $300 billion since 1948 in 2025 dollars.Israel receives additional billions from a variety of programs including loan guarantees, joint R&D and co-production for major military programs including Arrow and David’s Sling, Intelligence Sharing and Joint Exercises. One of the biggest programs is the Excess Defense Articles (EDA) program which has transferred over $6.6 billion in allegedly “outdated” military equipment including 15 F-15s in 1991 (The F-15 is still being flown today…), 10 CH-53A Sea Stallion Helicopters, and over 1,000+ military trucks to name but a few of the transferred items.All of this “aid” pales in the cost and potential costs of the US waging war on Iran for Israel.Operation Midnight Hammer which hit three Iranian nuclear facilities on June 22nd, 2025 cost an estimated $2.25 billion dollars.The first three days of the war have been estimated at between $1.6 – $2.3 billion not including the three $100 million dollar+ F-15s shot out of the sky by “friendly fire” in Kuwait yesterday alone.The total estimated cost:Short-term projection (Trump’s 4–5 week timeline): $6–8 billion (at sustained ~$220 million/day rates), potentially higher if escalation continues.- iran-cost-ticker.comDirect budgetary cost (Pentagon/munitions replacement, per Penn Wharton model): $40–95 billion (likely midpoint ~$65 billion); rises sharply if the operation exceeds 2 months. – fortune.comTotal economic cost to the US (including indirect effects like higher oil prices, disrupted trade via Strait of Hormuz, and market impacts): Up to $210 billion (wide range; additional ~$50–115 billion beyond direct military).None of these estimates include the potential loss of a US aircraft carrier(s), support vessels, or the tragedy of the human lies wasted in foreign wars for an organized crime “government” bribing, blackmailing, and installing US politicians.This week’s issue also includes the 8th installment of our investigation into the many scams of Jeff Berwick and the Anarchapulco conference, Suspected CIA-Conference Anarchapulco at Center of Puerto Vallarta Cartel Violence, where I speculate that the conference, which was relocated from Acapulco to Puerto Vallarta just in time for DOZENS of media operations, social media influencers, and hundreds of attendees to catapult the alleged cartel violence (which doesn’t benefit the cartel at all) into the public consciousness in a way that does benefit the US stated objective of getting US Special Forces into Mexico to wage war on (some) cartels in a way that would benefit other cartles.What do I think happened?Take a regional event (cartel violence in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico) and propel it into the public consciousness using the DOZENS of alternative media journalists, content creators, social media influencers., and hundreds of conference attendees in town for the event. – Many people have quit watching the overt propaganda of the CIA “MainStreamMedia” completely and more and more people are getting information about world events from social media. There are DOZENS of both suspected controlled opposition media operations (Stew Peters, David Icke, Jeff Berwick, etc.) and what we believe to be authentic voices (Jason Christoff, Aaron Day, etc.) among both the speakers and attendees.Fedbook censored our Five Meme Friday page off for “inauthentic behavior.” I will be writing an article about the massive censorship we receive on every platform shortly.Top Stories of the WeekLowkey from Double Down News Exposes Trump’s Iran War for Israel14 Minute Video Break Down the Case that Trump is Compromised and Waging War for IsraelClick Here for full video transcriptFolk Singer Brendan Daniel Drops New Song: To See the Cage is to Leave ItFolk singer Brendan Daniel picks up where Oliver Anthony left off, exposing the big secret of the “Rich Men North of Richmond“: that “government” is a technique of inter-generational organized crime to rob and control populations.Brendan’s new song, To See the Cage is to Leave It, was inspired by the book: To See the Cage is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many by Etienne de la Boetie2, founder of the Art of Liberty Foundation.The book has been an underground sensation selling copies to 20+ countries where over 10% of the sales have been bulk copies “Friends Bundles” that people are buying for friends, family and colleagues.

Peter Dale Scott and Jonathan Marshall point out how the DFS did much more than simply protect the most notorious traffickers. “It united them as a cartel, centralized and streamlined their operations, eliminated their competitors, and, through its connections with the CIA, provided them with the international protection necessary to ensure their success.” In the same way that DEA’s efforts in Columbia under Plan Columbia ( Aerial eradication of “some” coca producers’ crops), was alleged to have targeted certain coca producers while ignoring other coca producers and the CIA’s operations in Afghanistan deposed the Taliban, who had eradicated 90% of the coca production in that country, for warlords that restored coca production, this operation in Mexico could very well target “maverick” or cowboy cartels that aren’t giving the CIA their cut.Continue reading…Videos of the WeekThe 5th Annual Freedom Under Natural Law Conference – Full Conference ArchiveThe Freedom Under Natural Law conference brings together some of the best voices around Natural Law.

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

Lieber, Cass Nelson-Dooley, Andre Leu, Michelle Perro, Geoffrey Koch, Carina Benzvi, Jeffrey SmithAdvances in affordable genetic engineering have accelerated the creation and large-scale environmental release of genetically modified microorganisms (GMMs). While beneficial applications exist, GMMs may present unique, long-term risks to human and environmental health. Unlike static chemicals, GMMs are biologically active, self-replicating entities capable of rapid mutation and global dispersal. Current regulatory frameworks place responsibility on each country to regulate GMMs, without a clear, coordinated international policy. This review details critical risk scenarios, including horizontal gene transfer to native species and the possible disruption of vital human microbiomes (gut, oral, and infant), which could increase resistance to degradation, promote traits that expand a microbe’s range of hosts or ecological niches, and enhance the production of novel metabolites with unexpected biological activity. In soil, GMMs may support the emergence of “super bugs” or destabilize carbon sequestration cycles, potentially impacting climate resilience. Engineered microbial enzymes in the food supply may also act as environmental drivers of autoimmunity. Given the limited understanding of microbial ecology, we propose a decision-based biosafety workflow emphasizing pre-release risk assessment and continuous post-release monitoring. We urge national and international regulators to adopt the precautionary principle to better protect human health and the environment from the potential negative outcomes of GMMs.New technologies may pose risks of harm to human, animal, and environmental health, and ideally should be vetted prior to release for commercial use or consumption. However, this is not always possible. The demands for a new technology may have to be balanced against policy, need, and cost. GMM as a “microorganism that has had its genetic material (DNA) changed intentionally” [1] is an outcome of such technology.Currently, there is considerable disagreement about the proper regulations of GMMs. Pre-release safety testing, assessments for human and environmental impact, and monitoring frameworks are lacking. In the US, GMMs for commercial use are primarily regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as toxic substances, which is ill-suited for biological organisms. In addition, most other GMMs (not for commercial use) are unregulated and untracked. With the rapidly advancing landscape of genetic engineering technologies and broad access to these technologies across society, we must address the unique risks of genetically modified microbes and customize regulations based on current evidence and their impact on human and environmental health.Continue reading…Across the US, people are dismantling and destroying Flock surveillance camerasby Brian MerchantSilicon Valley is tightening its ties with Trumpworld, the surveillance state is rapidly expanding, and big tech’s AI data center buildout is booming.

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

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