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

These techniques include subliminal messages and product placement of the American flag “anchored” to moments of high-positive emotion during the “programming”.See the Press Release with more details HERE.Buy the book at SeeTheCage.comSubstack readers can get the book for FREE by “Going Paid” to ANY of the Art of Liberty Foundation’s four Substacks AND get access to all four of those Substacks!

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

Now, a new study has found that there are four practices that can significantly help different aspects of sleep disorders, without medical or therapy-based intervention. And they’re all cost-free.An international team of researchers led by the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine investigated 22 randomized controlled trials involving 1,348 adults with an average age of 50 years. The researchers’ aim was to see which exercises might work best for specific sleep issues: Falling asleep, staying asleep, sleep quality, duration and daytime tiredness.The studies generally spanned eight to 12 weeks, and the workouts were around 30-90 minutes each, two to five times a week.What they found was that there was no one practice that came out in front; instead, four types of exercise were able to directly impact sleep, but in different ways.Continue readingNeighbors take back Southeast Portland street, replacing RVs with community gardenby Steve DunnPORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — A Southeast Portland neighborhood taking matters into their own hands after they say criminal activity on their street became too much.For Joanne Benson and Christopher Carter-Tully, their neighborhood, right next to the I-205 bike trail, is blossoming. Silver troughs, filled with various plants line Southeast Washington Street. Even the bees seem happy.”Look at this one. Isn’t that lovely?” said Benson, referring to the bountiful plants.Lovely, yes. But it hasn’t always been that way. In fact, very recently, their Montavilla neighborhood looked a lot different. Homeless RV’s lined the street, but neighbors told KATU it was more than that.Before the planters were installed, the neighborhood along Southeast Washington Street looked a lot different. Homeless RV’s lined the street, but neighbors told KATU it was the criminal activity that prompted action. (KATU)Continue readingPublic Employees Are Not Underpaidby Mariana TrujilloIt is commonly believed that public employees and teachers earn less than their counterparts in the private sector, and this compensation disparity is undermining the ability of government employers to retain staff and recruit talent. This assertion often leads to demands for either increased pension benefits or higher salaries. The general public and policymakers have embraced this statement as an unquestioned fact, even though it is not. On average, public employees earn 42% more than private sector employees. But averages are not very meaningful in this context. The public sector is more white-collar than the private sector. A larger share of public employees hold college and graduate degrees than those in the private sector. Therefore, it is expected that the average public employee would earn more than the average private sector employee.Continue readingLucid – American Made EV -Faster Than A FerrariBy Ben Shimkus, Consumer Reporter For Dailymail.ComA garage attendant eased a fully charged car out of the parking lot.’My guy,’ he said, slowing to a stop beside me after threading the Lucid Air Grand Touring past a Rolls-Royce, a Land Rover, and a Mercedes-Benz.’This car is special.’I agree. The Lucid Air is about as close to perfect as a car gets.Lucid Motors is a California-based EV startup founded by former Tesla engineers.Backed by Saudi and Uber investments and building its cars in Arizona, Lucid aims to take on legacy automakers like Mercedes and Audi — with Tesla-beating tech under the hood.From the outside, the electric sedan’s understated body lines, elegant LED lighting, and athletic stance give it a quietly luxurious presence.Inside, the windshield stretches up and over the driver’s head, uninterrupted by a roof seam until just behind the front-row headrests. The elongated window floods the cabin with light and emphasizes the car’s minimalist but refined interior.Continue readingSymbiotic Systems – Narrowband LED Grow Lights Dramatically Improve Plant Yields and Nutritionby Agribusinessreview.comIndoor farming has long promised a revolutionary approach to agriculture, offering controlled environments for growing crops regardless of weather or climate. However, the industry has been hindered by outdated lighting systems that rely on broad-spectrum illumination, attempting to replicate natural sunlight rather than optimizing for plant biology. Traditional high-pressure sodium (HPS) and full-spectrum LED systems waste energy by emitting wavelengths that plants either don’t use efficiently or actively filter out. These systems fail to account for the fact that plants don’t require uniform light exposure, but instead respond to specific wavelengths at different growth stages.Symbiotic Systems, founded by Paul Bhola, is pioneering an adaptive lighting technology that uses narrowband LED systems to specifically stimulate plant responses. With patented dynamic lighting and AI-driven controls, Symbiotic Systems enhances yield, reduces operational costs, and improves crop quality by stimulating the plants to produce outcomes using the plant’s own growth systems.Continue readingNew AI-Designed Paint for Roofs Could Cool Buildings by Up to 36°F – Slashing AC Use and Carbon Emissionsby Good News NetworkIn a development that could reduce the emissions that exacerbate humanity’s climate crisis, an international team of engineers may have created the whitest coating yet—with the help of artificial intelligence.Their new thermal coating could reduce energy bills significantly by keeping buildings cooler, according to research from the University of Texas-Austin, National University of Singapore, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and Umea University in Sweden.Their AI approach for creating complex materials that are ‘three-dimensional thermal meta-emitters’ resulted in 1,500 different materials that can selectively emit heat at various levels and in different manners—making them ideal for energy efficiency through more precise cooling and heating.“Our machine learning framework represents a significant leap forward in the design of thermal meta-emitters,” said Professor Yuebing Zheng, in the Texas school’s mechanical engineering department, and co-leader of the study published in Nature.Continue readingThe Golden Idol Machineby Joshua StylmanThe other day, I found my high school yearbook. My kids were flipping through it, laughing at old photos and hairstyles, and one of them paused, surprised. “You and your friends were in all these clubs?” Debate, theater, student council, wrestling—page after page of awkward group photos and teenage optimism.It made me smile. I hadn’t thought about that version of myself in a long time. I told them the truth: I joined everything, not because I had it all figured out, but because I didn’t. When you’re a kid, you need spaces like that—launching pads for connection, experiments in identity. Trying things on. Figuring out where you fit, and just as often, where you don’t.These days, I’ve taken on more of the Groucho Marx philosophy—I’d never join a club that would have me as a member—but back then, those communities mattered. They were real. Messy. Human. They involved showing up, in person, with all your imperfections. There were no filters. No followers. No likes.Continue reading”Effective Immediately”: Shipping Line Suspends EV Cargo Due To Lithium Battery Fire Concernsby Tyler DurdenU.S. shipping and navigation services company Matson surprised customers in recent days by announcing new policies that halt all electric vehicle shipments due to the fire risk posed by lithium-ion batteries. This comes after the Morning Midas—a RoRo carrier transporting EVs and hybrids—erupted in flames early last month in the Pacific and subsequently sank.Shipping news website The Maritime Executive reports that Matson abruptly suspended the transport of EVs and plug-in hybrids, citing growing safety concerns over lithium-ion battery fires in a letter to clients. The new shipping policy took effect immediately and impacts trade routes across the U.S. mainland, Hawaii, Alaska, and Guam.”Due to increasing concern for the safety of transporting vehicles powered by large lithium-ion batteries, Matson is suspending acceptance of used or new electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid vehicles for transport aboard its vessels. Effective immediately, we have ceased accepting new bookings for these shipments to/from all trades,” the letter stated.Continue readingUnacknowledged False Flags: The October 7th Hamas Attack – Part 3by Iain DavisThe purpose and scope of the Unacknowledged False Flag Substack series is explained HERE.In Part 1 we looked at the official account of the October 7th Hamas Attack. In Part 2 we examined the official narrative claiming the attack came as a complete surprise to the Israeli authorities who, as a result, were not prepared to defend the people living, working and partying on the Israeli side of the “Iron Wall.”In Part 1 we remarked on Hamas’ incredible military feat. Hamas—primarily the Hamas’ al-Qassam Brigades and its elite Nukhba Squads, plus a contingent of Islamic Jihad’s al-Quds Brigades—breached the Iron Wall in 29 locations simultaneously. They took out all the automated defences and vital observation and early warning systems, and then proceeded to overrun and hold key military installations. Hamas took the Erez Crossing, the Nahal Oz military base, the Sufa outpost, and the IDF bases close to the Be’eri and Kerem Shalom kibbutzim. The most strategically important base they held was the Re’im military base—home to the primary Israeli defensive force in the region, the IDF Gaza Division.Continue readingUNSEEN: The Truth Behind Death Protocolsby David A. HughesI am reuploading this new hard-hitting documentary by Jacqui Deevoy and Richie Brown ofDiplomatic Postto help increase its visibility for when it gets censored by YouTube.Since 2020, Deevoy has been investigating practices of involuntary euthanasia in the UK. In 2021, she produced the documentary A Good Death? (Ickonic), and in 2024 she produced Playing God (Trailblazer).Her films are not an easy watch, as she hears shocking and tragic testimonies from victims’ families. Nevertheless, they are important, because they graphically confirm the return of practices previously associated with Nazi Germany, as I have written about in Wall Street, the Nazis, and the Crimes of the Deep State (pp. 32-34, 141-147).It is well known historically that state-sanctioned euthanasia in Nazi Germany (so-called “deaths of mercy”) was the thin of the edge of the wedge that led to genocide.Continue readingModerna Founder Launches Aerial-spraying of RNA to Alter Gene Expression of Cropsby UnshadowedFlagship Pioneering, creator of Moderna (and a WEF partner), has just unveiled Terrana Biosciences, providing $50mm to scale-up development of their flagship product, an RNA spray which enters the plant and alters gene expression.The company’s leadership is a “who’s who” of pharmaceutical and AgTech genetic engineering-meets-AI.“The difference with Terrana’s technology is it actually goes inside the plant. That really lets you think about solving problems differently.” (Remember this rhetoric before from Bourla and Moderna?)The CEO continues, “After being sprayed on, the RNA enters the plant through small tears in the leaves. With this method, Terrana can load in RNAs that act as ‘programmable plant vaccines’ or proteins that can aid in insect resistance or antifungal capabilities, for example.”Continue readingWill Congress give the pesticide industry a de facto liability shield?by Meryl NassIn 2013, Bayer had its 150th anniversary. It was riding high. It sent an airship and anniversary exhibition around the world to celebrate. Its stock price was 27, the highest it had been since it entered the NY stock exchange in 2002. It was bullish and interested in acquisitions.Bayer decided to go after Monsanto. According to Fortune,Bayer bought Monsanto as part of its reinvention as a life-science firm with a focus on health and agriculture. At the time the deal was proposed in 2016, the competitive landscape of the agricultural-science space was shifting dramatically—Dow and DuPont were merging, and so were ChemChina and Syngenta. Bayer wanted to become a bigger player in seeds and genetically modified crops, and Monsanto offered just that.But there were potential problems. The WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer had just reported that glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto’s most popular product, the herbicide Roundup, was a probable human carcinogen.Continue readingMigrants at Ice jail in Miami made to kneel to eat ‘like dogs’, report allegesby Richard Luscombe, theguardian.comMigrants at a Miami immigration jail were shackled with their hands tied behind their backs and made to kneel to eat food from styrofoam plates “like dogs”, according to a report published on Monday into conditions at three overcrowded south Florida facilities.The incident at the downtown federal detention center is one of a succession of alleged abuses at jails operated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (Ice) in the state since January, chronicled by the advocacy groups Human Rights Watch, Americans for Immigrant Justice, and Sanctuary of the South from interviews with detainees.Dozens of men had been packed into a holding cell for hours, the report said, and denied lunch until about 7pm. They remained shackled with the food on chairs in front of them.Continue readingWhy the US govt really stopped the case against Dr. Kirk Moore–an extraordinary interview with Sasha Latypovaby Dr. Peter and Ginger BregginPodcast: Play in new window | Download | EmbedDr. Kirk Moore is a hero of the COVID wars. He administered saline shots instead of COVID vaccines to his patients and issued vaccine cards to them, allowing them to continue with their work or school. In doing so, Dr. Moore preserved the health of his patients and fulfilled his Hippocratic Oath to do no harm. He was subsequently charged by the Biden administration in 2023 with violating laws that resulted in “sabotaging” the rollout of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. Appeals to the new Trump administration to pardon the doctor or dismiss the case were ignored, and the trial moved forward.Jury selection was done, and the discovery phase had begun. The trial had gone on for one week. Officials were being interrogated on the witness stand. Colleagues, patients, friends, and patriots filled the courtroom, and a growing awareness of this ongoing travesty of justice was evident through social media.Continue readingMetal bottle caps ‘surprising’ source of microplastic contamination, study findsby Tom Perkins, theguardian.comMetal bottle caps can be a significant source of microplastic contamination in beverages, a new peer-reviewed study by France’s food safety agency finds.Researchers compared microplastic levels in beer, water, wine and soft drinks, and found the substance in all samples, but liquid in glass jars showed the highest levels. The surprising source of the contamination – a polyester-based paint on the glass bottles’ metal caps.The findings were “very surprising”, said Alexandre Dehaut, a study co-author with the French agency for food, environmental and occupational health and safety.“Caps were suspected to be the main source of contamination, as the majority of particles isolated in beverages were identical to the color of caps and shared the composition of the outer paint,” the authors wrote in the study.Continue readingGrave Nation: Ukrainian Cemetery Mega-Project Reveals Dimming Military HopesEtienne Note: Warfare is eugenics… “The Covid” was/is eugenics… The organized crime “governments” of the world are taking their Alpha males with the courage to fight and killing them off vs. the Alpha males of other goverments so all that is left are Beta males with no courage to resist the conscription and tax farming of the REAL enemies: The inter-generational organized crime families using “government” to rob and control their populations….by SimpliciusA new Le Monde article sends spider cracks through the facade of Ukrainian losses:Right off the bat, they reveal that cemeteries throughout Ukraine are full, requiring a national project of building a large-scale network of new military burial sites:The squares reserved for the soldiers are full. Everywhere, teams of architects are working on memorials that tell us as much about the scale of the slaughter as they do about the ongoing reflection on the idea of nationhood.Continue readingPersonal Flying Car Debuts; Jet-Powered, Diesel Fuelby Chuck MartinA single person, flying car prototype powered by eight micro jet engines using diesel fuel has been introduced by a Texas startup.The Axion personal vertical takeoff and landing vehicle from FusionFlight in Dallas promises a top speed of 200 mph and would come with two 15-gallon cross-linked fuel tanks.The micro jet-engines are enclosed in the body of the vehicle, which is designed to take off straight up and then transition from hover mode to forward flight.The flying vehicle, priced at $289,995, could fit in a standard parking spot or the back of a pick-up truck.The flying vehicle is a scaled-up version of the FusionFlight JetQuad drone, a model of which has been test flown as shown in a company video.”The JetQuad drone is like an unmanned, scaled-down version of the Harrier Jump-Jet,” the company website states, calling it “A unique jet-powered platform that combines vertical lift capability of a helicopter with the high-speed maneuverability of a jetfighter.”Continue readingMexico Moves Closer to Biometric ID – Will The People Comply?by Derrick Broze, thelastamericanvagabond.comAs of Thursday July 17th, several new laws went into effect in Mexico which are likely to greatly increase the push towards a digital surveillance state.The Mexican government says these new laws are aimed at fighting organized crime, drug trafficking, and helping with the search for missing people. The government has also argued that controversial changes to the nation’s telecommunications laws are designed to bridge the so-called “digital divide”, referring to the limited access to internet and cellular service in rural areas compared to urban environments.Mexico’s President Claudia Sheibaum has claimed that critics who have referred to the laws as a “spy law” or a “censorship law” are ignoring protections built into the new measures.“It is false, it is a lie that the laws passed have to do with the State spying. False, it is a deliberate lie,” said Sheinbaum at a July press conference.Continue readingTen Ways to Neutralize the Deep StateEtienne Note: A great article from Max Borders BUT he leaves out that “government” is illegitimate on its face. That there is no way to have a moral, logical legitimate “government.” As long as folks believe in the legitimacy of “government” they are trapped in organized crime’s rigged game where they wrote the rules and control the courts. There are thousands hacking at the branches of evil to one striking the root! We are achieving a “one-way revolution” by getting folks out of the easily rigged game of “elections” run on unauditable black box voting machines and mail-in ballots! There is definitely some gold in his article, but we need to start with exposing the illegitimacy of the system as a whole!by Max BordersThe President has appointed you U.S. Attorney General, and you have been narrowly confirmed. It’s your first day on the job.Continue readingU.S. drops to lowest ranking yet on index of most powerful passportsby Grace MoonAmericans once held the world’s most powerful key to international travel, but in the latest edition of the Henley Passport Index released this week, U.S. passports dropped to their lowest position yet, outranked by affluent Asian countries that dominated the top of the list, European mainstays and others.According to the Henley ranking, which is based on the number of destinations a traveler can visit without needing a visa, the United States has fallen from seventh place last year to 10th place, continuing a downward trend. Now tied with Iceland and Lithuania, the U.S. last topped the list in 2014.The London-based firm Henley & Partners, which offers consulting on residence and citizenship by investment, has compiled the rankings for nearly two decades, relying on data from the International Air Transport Association.Continue readingPresident Trump Plans to Open 401(k)s to Bitcoin, Crypto, Gold, and Private Equity: FTBy Oscar Zarraga PerezFinancial Times reported today that President Trump is preparing to sign an executive order that would allow 401(k) retirement plans to invest in alternative assets such as gold, private equity, and cryptocurrencies like bitcoin.“Donald Trump is preparing to open the $9tn US retirement market to cryptocurrency investments, gold, and private equity in a move that would spur a radical shift in the way Americans’ savings are managed,” reported the Financial Times.According to Financial Times, the order is expected this week and will direct federal regulators to remove barriers preventing 401(k) plans from including these non-traditional investments in managed funds. This includes digital assets, metals, private loans, infrastructure deals, and corporate buyout funds.“President Trump is committed to restoring prosperity for everyday Americans and safeguarding their economic future,” said the White House in a statement to the Financial Times. “No decisions should be deemed official, however, unless they come from President Trump himself.”Continue reading”There’s No Nothing”: Empty Shelves, Rotten Odors Plague Gov’t-Funded Supermarket In Missouriby Tyler DurdenOne of the dozen or so socialist policy proposals from NYC Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani is the creation of government-funded grocery stores.While the Democratic Party increasingly embraces socialist and Marxist-leaning policies, such as the seizure of private property, this idea of government-funded grocery stores appears disconnected from both fundamental economic realities and historical precedent.Nowhere is this more evident than in East Kansas City, where a nonprofit operates a grocery store on government land that has become a symbol of failure, plagued by the smell of rot and empty shelves.Local media outlet KSHB 41 Kansas City toured Sun Fresh Market at 3110 Wabash Ave (31st & Prospect) on the city’s Eastside. The store opened in 2018 as part of a multi-million dollar public-private revitalization of the Linwood Shopping Center. Operated by Community Builders of Kansas City, a nonprofit focused on urban development, the store has since become a massive reminder that while socialism may sound great on paper, in practice, it can be an absolute disaster.Continue readingDr. Mercola: What if Fixing Your Sleep Was the Missing Key to Reversing Chronic Disease?by Dr. Joseph MercolaSleep health extends beyond duration; it includes timing, quality and regularity; poor sleep patterns are linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke and metabolic disordersBoth short (under seven hours) and long (over nine hours) sleep durations are associated with higher rates of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular problemsIrregular sleep schedules and poor sleep quality damage health as much as not sleeping enough hours, triggering inflammation and disrupting biological processesSimple interventions like maintaining complete darkness in your bedroom, getting morning sunlight, limiting blue light exposure at night and keeping your bedroom cool significantly improves sleep qualityImprovements in blood pressure, blood sugar control and inflammation often begin within weeks of establishing more consistent and restorative sleep patternsContinue readingSurvey Reveals “Seismic Shift” As More Parents Reject Vaccine Scheduleby Tyler DurdenA new survey published in the JAMA Network by researchers at Emory University and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found that an increasing number of pregnant women and new mothers are delaying, or even outright refusing, government-recommended vaccines that hospitals and pediatricians push on newborns and young kids. The findings come just ahead of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s much-anticipated announcement on what the federal agency believes to be the root cause of the autism spike in children ahead of the fall school season.Titled “Vaccination Intentions During Pregnancy and Among Parents of Young Children,” researchers found that 33% of parents with children under age 5 intend to delay or refuse some or all government-recommended vaccines. In contrast, only 4% of first-time pregnant women reported plans to delay or refuse all recommended vaccines.Continue readingWill an Iran Cyber Attack Panic Usher In a New Patriot Act?by Mises Wire, Nicholas DeSimoneIn a 2007 interview, retired General Wesley Clark revealed that the Pentagon had a plan to “take out seven countries in five years”—Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran. Over the following two decades, the first six were bombed, destabilized, or collapsed into civil war. Only Iran remains standing—resistant to Western central banking, culturally hostile to global usury, and guarding some of the world’s most ancient archeological sites.Now, major media outlets such as Fox News and the Independent warn of a looming cyberwar, and we’re told to brace for a potential Iranian cyberattack on the US or its allies, aimed at critical infrastructure such as power and water systems. But rather than ask how to defend against it, we should ask something more: Is Iran really the culprit? Or is it the designated scapegoat for an event designed to advance elite control both abroad and at home?Continue readingCalifornia’s Fraudulent “Disaster Recovery” Is a Land Grabby Edward Ring via American Greatness,Remember Gavin Newsom’s first visit to the sites of devastating fires last January in Los Angeles, when he vowed to streamline California’s paralytic regulations so people could quickly rebuild their homes?In that interview, while undulating his shoulders in a weird shimmy that will undoubtedly come back to haunt him as he ramps up his presidential campaigning, Newsom also promised to “prevent opportunistic investors from exploiting vulnerable residents by offering below-market prices.”It’s hard to say which promise has been more thoroughly violated. As celebrity author Adam Carolla posted on 7/14, there is virtually no work going on along the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, where hundreds of homes burned down to the sand. This is typical.The Palisades Fire, with a burn area that included Malibu, destroyed over 6,000 homes. So far, 161 permits have been issued by the City of Los Angeles. The community of Altadena, which was consumed by the Eaton Fire, lost over 9,000 homes. So far, 84 rebuilding permits have been issued.Continue readingUpcoming Liberty EventsTeslaTech Extraordinary Technology Conference – August 6 to 10, 2025 – Albuquerque, NMFloating Man – 7-10 August 2025 – Apatin, Serbia, at the ARK Liberland VillageRon Paul’s Birthday BBQ – August 9th – Lake Jackson, TX (USA)Anarcon – Sept 26th-28th – Gore, VALiberpulco – 4-6 September 2025 – Liberland Ark Village, Apatin, SerbiaSat., 7/26 Freedompalooza, Roaring Brook Farm, Northumberland, NH w The Red Pill Friends & moreMises Institute Supporters Summit 2025 – October 16th-18th, 2025 – Even’s LibertyFree State Bitcoin – DIGITAL ASSETS CONFERENCE – Save the date: October 12th, 2025 at Wentworth by the Sea, NH!Free Cities Conference: Returning to Prague – October 31st to November 2nd, 2025 – EventCHD 2025 Conference – November 7th-9th – Austin, TXMemes BonanzaTruth Music of the WeekThe World Is by UnForSceneHat tip to Ron A. for this one… The World Is… by UnForScene off their New World Disorder album.libertarian Intentional Community RoundupEtienne Note: We have rebranded our Free State Project Corner section in Five Meme Friday to: libertarian Intentional Community Roundup to cover other projects including Prospera (Honduras), The Free State Project (New Hampshire), Liberstad (Norway), Montelibero (Montenegro), Los Propietarios, (Argentina), Liberland (Croatia/Serbia border), Network States in general and Sea Steading (The Oceans).

Etienne’s Book: To See the Cage Is to Leave It, Makes James Corbett’s Summer Reading List!

Etienne’s Book: To See the Cage Is to Leave It, Makes James Corbett’s Summer Reading List!

Discover 25 Techniques the Few Are Using to Control the Many! By James Corbett of the Corbett ReportIt’s summer, so you know what that means: it’s time for a summer reading list!No, not an AI-hallucinated fake summer reading list. It’s the dinosaur media idiots who are publishing that crap.No, I’m talking about a good old conspiracy realist reading list . . . with a couple of fun books thrown in for good measure. So, get out the beach towel and get ready to curl up with a good book!And now, in addition to:my New World Order Reading List;the tour of my bookshelf;the Liberty Weekly book recommendation roundtable;the WWI book recommendation podcast;the book-off with Richard Grove;Another 25 Books You Should Read;Your Summer Reading List (2021);Another Another 25 Books You Should Read;the Mass Media Reading List;and the False Flag Reading List . . .. . . I present ten more books to add to Your Summer Reading List (2025).Let’s go!Apple In China by Patrick McGeeInternal Apple documents show that by 2015, Apple was investing $55 billion per year in China. That’s a mind-boggling number, but in context it’s even more dramatic. Consider that the entirety of the Marshall Plan saw the US transferring $13.3 billion to rebuild Europe after WWII.So, why has Apple been pumping so much money into communist China? When did this relationship start? How did it develop? And what are the implications of that relationship for the global economy?Apple In China is the kind of book you don’t realize you’re interested in reading until you read it. The stories behind the production of some of Apple’s most iconic products—the iMac, the iPhone, the iPad—are fascinating enough, but when those stories are placed in the larger geoeconomic context of the rise of China as a manufacturing juggernaut, they’re even more fascinating.Naturally, author Patrick McGee does not scratch below the surface of the Chicom story to connect it to the larger picture of why and how China was built up as the New Cold War bogeyman. But, if you fill in this book’s missing pieces with Corbett Report podcasts and articles like “China and the New World Order,” “The Great Decoupling: How the West is Engineering its Own Downfall” and “China’s Suspiciously American Arsenal: A Closer Look,” Apple In China can be a useful data point to add further detail to the story of the engineered rise of China.Hijacking Bitcoin by Roger Ver with Steve PattersonHijacking Bitcoin was published on April 5, 2024. Less than one month later, the US Justice Department unsealed an indictment of author Roger Ver for “tax evasion” and had him arrested in Spain. So, what was it about this book that upset Uncle Sam enough to go nuclear on its author? You’ll have to read the book to find out, but suffice it to say, if you haven’t followed the blockchain wars, you’re in for a wild ride.Hijacking Bitcoin is not merely a thorough exploration of the years-long campaign of manipulation, propaganda and censorship that perverted the bitcoin project from its original vision, it’s a first-person account by one of bitcoin’s earliest proponents.What is Blockstream and how is it funded? Who is “John Dillon” and who is “Theymos”? Who is Henri de Castries, and what does his relationship to the Bilderberg Group have to do with this twisted tale? You’ll find out in these pages. And you should probably do so before Roger Ver wins his suit to block his extradition to the US (or before he loses and gets thrown in jail for daring to go against the stablecoin-promoting Big Tech monopolists) so that you better understand this important case.Right-Wing Collectivism: The Other Threat to Liberty by Jeffrey TuckerWritten in 2017, just as the political pendulum shift was moving the “anti-establishment” energy back toward the right side of the phoney left/right political spectrum, Right-Wing Collectivism is Jeffrey Tucker’s valuable reminder that collectivist ideology is always dangerous—not only when it’s in the hands of those evil lefty commies.After observing that “[l]iberty has no horizontal relationship to authoritarianism,” Tucker contextualizes the recent rise of the modern right-wing populist movements around the world by doing a deep dive into the history of right-wing collectivist philosophy. Exploring the development of this philosophy from Fichte and Ruskin to Chamberlin and Gentile, this book shows how these philosophers’ “right-Hegelian” thought is in many ways a mirror of the “left-Hegelian” thought of the Marxists and neo-Marxists that they supposedly oppose.Perhaps even more importantly, Tucker offers a stirring defense of the word “liberal,” describing how it has been deliberately co-opted by modern-day leftists to deracinate freedom-lovers from the rich philosophical tradition of their own movement. Having been detached from the now co-opted word “liberal,” these opponents of collectivism and authoritarianism have been grouped under a tent called “conservatism.” There, as Tucker so memorably puts it, “[g]enuine liberals were supposed to find a home alongside warmongers, prohibitionists, religious authoritarians, and cultural fascists.”As with so many books of this sort, the greatest tragedy is that the very people who would most benefit from it are the least likely to read it. Hopefully that doesn’t apply to you.After the Spike: Population, Progress, and the Case for People by Dean Spears and Michael GerusoTo be fair, if you’re a dedicated Corbett Reporteer, this book isn’t for your reading list. It’s for the reading lists of your well-meaning friends.That is to say: if you understand that anthropogenic global warming is a cynical hoax fostered by oligarchs to perfect their control over the natural resources of the planet; and if you recognize that so-called mRNA “vaccines” are in fact dangerous gene therapy being foisted on us by technocrats who are out to re-engineer the human species; and if you see through the lies of Ehrlich and the other Malthusians who have sold you the population bomb lie in the face of the underpopulation bomb reality; and if you know all about Julian Simon’s revelation of The Ultimate Resource—if, in short, you are a clued in, switched-on conspiracy realist—then this book is not for you.Rather, this book is for your normie friends who have yet to discover those truths and have bought into the lies of the overpopulation doom-mongers.In After the Spike, Spears and Geruso do an excellent job of explaining the demographic crisis that is engulfing the world and what it means for the future of humanity.They break down the plunging fertility rate numbers, put them in their historical context, and demonstrate that the era of an expanding human population is coming to an end.They show how the demographic crunch is baked into the cake and demonstrate how government interventions of various sorts have had no observable effects on long-term population trends.They show how the depopulationists’ fantasy that the number of humans on the planet will reach some magical equilibrium and stabilize at some smaller number is wishful thinking and that, barring some profound change of course, the collapse of civilization and the end of the species is a more likely result.They refute myths about the supposed benefits of a shrinking population and show how a larger population is in fact good for the planet.. . . But they do this by appealing to the normiest of sensibilities. According to the authors, global warming is totally real and super serious, but we shouldn’t worry, because population size isn’t tied to carbon footprint. They believe amazing inventions like mRNA vaccines are only possible because we have a large enough population to support research in such cutting-edge technologies. And they contend that we wouldn’t be able to rely on smartphones and other useful gadgets in a shrinking world, since industrial activity is predicated on having enough people to make worldwide supply chains viable.So, you see my conundrum. This is a valuable book for countering the types of arguments that your normie friends might be making against the Go Forth and Multiply imperative . . . but I’d recommend it to someone in my audience only if he or she can read past the authors’ mainstream sensibilities and find the more important truths buried underneath.One Nation Under Blackmail by Whitney WebbGiven recent events, it might be worth your time to read (or re-read) Whitney Webb’s magnum opus on the Epstein scandal, One Nation Under Blackmail.Spanning two volumes, this incredibly thorough tome charts the confluence of intelligence agencies and organized crime in blackmailing politicians, from “Lucky” Luciano and “Operation Underworld” in the 1940s straight through to Epstein and Maxwell and associates in the early 21st century. Along the way, Webb provides encyclopedic detail on a truly mind-boggling number of people and organizations. One look at the index will reveal the hundreds of businessmen, bankers, gunrunners, politicians and other lowlifes who populate these pages and help flesh out the story of Epstein.Crucially, in Volume 2, Webb demonstrates how modern technology (“From PROMIS to Palantir”) is rendering obsolete the blackmail networks of old, thus potentially explaining why Epstein was thrown under the bus in 2019.No matter how much you think you know about the Epstein network, you don’t know half of what Webb reveals in this book. And that knowledge is power, because, as she rightly reminds us in her conclusion, only true knowledge of this dark subject will lead us to the path of non-compliance that will purge this sick, parasitical, extortionist class from the body politic.Temple of Solomon by Jacob NordangårdViewers of my recent interviews with Jacob Nordangård will by now have a sense of what is covered in Temple of Solomon—namely, how a centuries-long occult plan for creating a utopian world state is coming to fruition thanks to modern-day technology.As one might expect from a book so explicitly about the occult, the book provides information on famous occultists like John Dee, Alistair Crowley, Madame Blavatsky, Alice Bailey and Annie Besant as well as on occult organizations like the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the Ordo Templi Orienti, the Theosophical Society and the Lucis Trust. It also discusses a raft of occultic concepts, from The Rosicrucian Enlightenment and Thelema to The Seven Rays and The Great Invocation.Even more crucially, it shows how these people and their philosophies and teachings have helped shape the work of technologists and technocrats like Alvin Toffler and William Shockley and Nick Bostrom and others who are helping to bring about the “World Brain” and the “noosphere,” which will begin “the next spiral of the journey toward becoming a planetary autotroph.”Suffice it to say, the story of the “Fourth Industrial Revolution” and the coming planetary Great Reset are far weirder (and more sinister) than you might have imagined.Thankfully, though, this book is not merely a tale of woe. It ends with Nordangård’s personal assessment of why this technocratic world state is doomed to fail.And, as if all that isn’t enough, this print-only volume comes with a CD of Nordangård’s band, Wardenclyffe, performing songs that he wrote specifically to explore the ideas and themes elaborated in the book.Part art project, part history lesson, part dire warning, part hopeful message, Temple of Solomon is bound to be the most unique book at whatever poolside party you attend this summer!To See The Cage is to Leave It by Etienne de la Boetie2Do you remember back in 2021, when I talked to Etienne de la Boetie2 about his book, Government — The Biggest Scam in History? So popular was that edition of #SolutionsWatch that Etienne’s book completely sold out, and his website crashed.Well, if you liked that book, you’re going to love this book! Similar to The Biggest Scam in History, To See The Cage Is To Leave It is a visual feast, using powerful pictures, memorable memes and interesting infographics to keep even the most attention-deficient modern-day readers engaged.But, since a picture is worth a thousand words, allow me to show you what this book is like rather than tell you what it’s like. This page demonstrates Technique #20 in the list of “25 Techniques the Few Use to Control The Many”:If this type of presentation appeals to your style of learning, then what are you waiting for? Add this book your your pail before you head off to the beach this summer!Ficciones by Jorge Luis BorgesAs a dedicated Corbett Reporteer, you have, of course, read (or heard me read) “The Library of Babel,” the mind-bending story of an infinite library (and the books contained in it) by Jorge Luis Borges, the great 20th-century short story writer and essayist from Argentina.But have you followed that cookie crumb trail back to its source and devoured the entirety of Borges’ work?Have you learned how the conjunction of a mirror and an encyclopedia lead to the discovery of “Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius”?Have you discovered how “Pierre Menard, Author of The ‘Quixote'” managed to rewrite significant portions of Don Quixote without having read the original?Have you marvelled at “The Secret Miracle” that was granted Jaromir Hladik at the time of his execution and the fantastical act of literary creation he accomplished in that year-long split second?If not, can you really say you have lived at all? No, I dare say you can’t.Short stories long: this is a good book if you’re looking for a collection of brain-teasing short stories. . . . Or are they fictional essays? Whatever! Read them!Seeing by José SaramagoWhat if you held an election and no one came? Astute Corbett Reporteers with an elephant’s memory might recall that this was the premise behind my (underappreciated, if I do say so myself) 2015 presentation on How To Free Your Tax Cattle!Little did I know at the time of my presentation that Nobel Prize-winning author José Saramago had used a very similar thought experiment as the launching point for his 2004 novel, Ensaio sobre a Lucidez (translated as Seeing and published in English in 2006). Seeing tells the story of an unidentified European nation that experiences an unusual national election: over seventy percent of the voters in the nation’s capital cast blank ballots, throwing the entire election into question. The voters are given a second chance, and this time eighty-three percent of them cast blank ballots.The first half of the book is a tour de force (or should that be “tour de farce”?) of political satire. It follows the comically inept and increasingly unhinged response of the panicked politicians to the reality of this mass voter revolt. Without giving away their reaction, I’ll just say that it includes: propaganda and media manipulation; a government-wide withdrawal from the capital city as a way to “punish” the misbehaving public; and a false flag terror incident that is immediately identified as a false flag terror incident.The second half of the book abandons this razor-sharp political satire for a more human drama. It follows three police officers who are sent into the city to investigate a lead about the supposed mastermind of this voter revolt. Saramago vividly portrays the inner conflict the police superintendent faces when he realizes he has been tasked with framing an innocent woman.In the end, this could have been one of the great works of anarchist literature if Saramago had stuck with his initial impetus and delivered a full-on political satire . . . but Jose Saramago is not that kind of writer. Still, it’s a thoroughly entertaining and thoroughly subversive tale, precisely because it doesn’t quite deliver what any reader is wanting (or even expecting). Even the way the book is written—eschewing all forms of punctuation save for the comma and the period, defying all conventions of dialogue by refusing to mark the beginning or the end of quotes or to differentiate speakers, and relying on page-long sentences and chapter-long paragraphs—is a delightful nod to the anarchy of language.NOTE: For those who decide to pick up Seeing, you should be forewarned that this is actually a sequel to Saramago’s best-known work, Ensaio sobre a Cegueira (translated as Blindness). You should probably have at least some familiarity with that story before starting in on this one.REPORTAGE: Essays on the New World Order by James CorbettOh, come on! You know I had to put this one in here, don’t you?Anyway, it’s a good book! I think you should read it! (And soon you’ll be able to read it in hardcover or listen to it in audiobook form!)New book by Etienne de la Boetie2 exposes that the government and Hollywood have been running a multi-generational, trillion-dollar psychological operation on the population to indoctrinate them into accepting a ruling class, confiscatory taxation, and inflationary fractional reserve currency issued by private banks.The book details 25 unethically manipulative techniques the “government” and monopoly media have been secretly using on the population, ranging from a hidden curriculum in their mandatory schools and scouting to the secret placement of propaganda in over 1,000+ movies and 1,000+ television shows. These techniques include subliminal messages and product placement of the American flag “anchored” to moments of high-positive emotion during the “programming”.See the Press Release with more details HERE.Buy the book at SeeTheCage.comSubstack readers can get the book for FREE by “Going Paid” to ANY of the Art of Liberty Foundation’s four Substacks AND get access to all four of those Substacks!

Stablecoins Are WORSE Than CBDCs! – James Corbett & Mark Goodwin

How the Organized Crime “Government” Plans to Soak Up the Inflation of Fractional Reserve Banking, “Bailouts,” and “Stimulus” “So the Genius Act is quite genius in a way in that it’s forcing technologists to bite the bullet and buy the debt of the U.S. government at a very crucial time in which the U.S. government desperately needs more buyers of debt.” – Mark GoodwinUsually, we reserve this Substack for our own writings and research, but occasionally we will syndicate an especially important piece of journalism from someone else. Mark Goodwin and James Corbett are some of the few voices to appear multiple times. In this episode from the Corbett Report they break down how the Trump administration is paving the way for Stablecoins to both soak up the inflation being generated by fractional reserve banking, “bailouts,” and “stimulus” while potentially paving the way for CBDC-style programmable digital money that, in many ways, could be worse than CBDCs.

Fivememefri – Jim Gale is Teaching Kids to Grow Food WITHOUT The “Government’s” Permission

PLUS James Corbett & Mark Goodwin Break Down Why Stablecoins are WORSE Than CBDCs! Dear Subscribers,My apologies for being late in getting last week’s issue out…. We are still travelling around Florida looking for the right community to start our brick-and-mortar Liberty-oriented secret project. I think we have settled on Tampa – St. Pete, but have been visiting libertarian intentional communities along the way which is a big part of my upcoming book: Voluntaryism – How the Only “ISM” Fair for Everyone Leads to Harmony, Prosperity and Good Karma for All!Earlier this week we stopped at Galt’s Landing to visit with Jim Gale from Food Forest Abundance. Jim is not only helping folks understand how to grow healthy, organic, pesticide-free food for their families and communities, but he is doing it all without the permission of the “Government.” His 50+ acres feature a food forest, mushroom cultivation, and a developing school where kids will learn to grow their own food without agricultural poisons!In what can only be described as heroic peaceful civil disobedience, Jim is exercising his natural law right to be left alone if he isn’t harming anyone else. He isn’t begging, pleading, and getting mulct by the organized crime “government” for building permits, taxes, and fees, he is living his best possible life as a free and independent human being.A beautiful piece of art that graces Jim Gale’s food forest in Galt’s Landing: An arm holding back a “government” agent trying to use violence against peaceful people for victimless crimes or to raise money on their friends, families and neighbors while living off money stolen from others at the point of a gun!Trip Update:We should be home late tomorrow night and back to our usual publishing schedule. Today we are visiting another libertarian intentional community: Voluntaria – outside of Crescent City, Florida. We have been dropping off review copies of my books along the way to bookstores all over Florida in a campaign to get “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed! and To See the Cage is to Leave It into wider circulation.Check out our article: Etienne & Jason Christoff – Why is 666 Hidden in Cartel Company Logos, Trump’s OK Sign and Twitter’s New Logo? to understand the Free Masonic significance of 666 and why they are constantly hiding it in 6ig 6eautiful 6ills (and 6uild 6ack 6etter) here: https://artofliberty.substack.com/p/etienne-and-jason-christoff-why-isTop Stories of the WeekJapan’s Shocking mRNA Vaccine Revelations: 21 Million Vaccination Records Expose Alarming Death TrendsEtienne Note: Move evidence of Eugenics.

A group of 350 Japanese volunteers, led by the United Citizens for Stopping mRNA Vaccines, has unleashed a staggering 21 million vaccination records—yes, you read that right—obtained through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. This isn’t some small-fry dataset; it’s a colossal trove of vaccination dates, lot numbers, and, most chillingly, deaths. And what it reveals? Well, let’s just say it’s not the “safe and effective” mantra we’ve been spoon-fed.Continue reading…Videos of the WeekStablecoins Are WORSE Than CBDCs!- James Corbett & Mark GoodwinJames Corbett and Mark Goodwin break down how the Organized Crime “Government” Plans to Soak Up the Inflation of Fractional Reserve Banking, “Bailouts,” and “Stimulus”“So the Genius Act is quite genius in a way in that it’s forcing technologists to bite the bullet and buy the debt of the U.S. government at a very crucial time in which the U.S. government desperately needs more buyers of debt.” – Mark GoodwinFull transcript will appear shortly at ArtOfLiberty.Substack.comReferences at: https://corbettreport.com/interview-1964-stablecoins-are-worse-than-cbdcs-with-mark-goodwin/”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.

Those to the right want it to be smaller.To the left, power is seen as a desirable good, to serve the aims of those who wield it. To the right, power is deemed to be at best a necessary evil.Those to the left believe that the collective (the group, state, or tribe) has a claim on your property. Those to the right believe that your property is your own.Those to the left want more decisions to be made by a central authority. Those to the right want more decisions in the hands of individuals.You should recognize this (with all the necessary nuances, caveats, and exceptions) as the primary ideological divide in human society. This divide is not always reflected in politics, which often takes place within a narrower range somewhere to the left of the center point. But ideologically and philosophically, these dichotomies are how left and right ought to be defined.Continue readingThe Wearables Trap: How the Government Plans to Monitor, Score, and Control Youby John & Nisha Whitehead“When the states legalize the deliberate ending of certain lives… it will eventually broaden the categories of those who can be put to death with impunity.”—Nat Hentoff, The Washington Post, 1992Bodily autonomy—the right to privacy and integrity over our own bodies—is rapidly vanishing.The debate now extends beyond forced vaccinations or invasive searches to include biometric surveillance, wearable tracking, and predictive health profiling.We are entering a new age of algorithmic, authoritarian control, where our thoughts, moods, and biology are monitored and judged by the state.This is the dark promise behind the newest campaign by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Trump’s Secretary of Health and Human Services, to push for a future in which all Americans wear biometric health-tracking devices.Continue readingFAQs on glyphosate from US Right to Knowby Meryl NassStacy Malkan | May 21, 2025Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide worldwide. It is linked to cancer, liver and kidney disease, endocrine disruption, neurotoxicity and many other health concerns.First patented by the Monsanto Company, glyphosate is now manufactured and sold by many companies in hundreds of products. It is best known as the active ingredient in Roundup-branded herbicides, and the herbicide used with “Roundup Ready” genetically modified organisms (GMOs). More than 90% of GMO corn and soybeans in the U.S. are genetically engineered to tolerate herbicides, according to USDA data.A 2017 study in JAMA found that Americans’ exposure to glyphosate increased approximately 500 percent since Roundup Ready GMO crops were introduced in 1996. More than 80% of urine samples drawn from children and adults in a 2022 U.S. study contained glyphosate, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Scientists described this finding as “disturbing” and “concerning.”Monsanto owner Bayer AG maintains that glyphosate and glyphosate-based herbicides are safe when used as directed “Glyphosate-based herbicides are among the most extensively tested products, with more than 1,500 studies and 50 years of research,” Bayer states on its website. “After reviewing the volume of scientific research and evaluations by regulatory agencies over the years, experts and regulators worldwide have concluded that glyphosate-based products can be used safely as directed.”Internal Monsanto documents, investigative journalism and independent research have established that Monsanto used many tactics over decades to manipulate the scientific record on glyphosate, and that regulatory agencies relied on poorly conducted studies and insufficient data.Continue readingGeoengineering: Who’s Behind It and How We Stop Itby Nicole ShanahanOver the past month, I’ve been in contact with a government whistleblower— an individual who has held high-level security clearances and has spent over a decade consulting directly with major federal agencies. Their experience spans the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, NOAA, and the Intelligence Community. With their permission, I’ve agreed to share here on X the information they provided to me, as they—and I—believe it raises serious concerns.While the whistleblower did not disclose any classified information, what they did provide was a roadmap to navigate the tangled mess that is our government’s geoengineering programs. They told me that despite President Trump’s 2020 directive to halt taxpayer-funded climate change initiatives, federal grants for solar radiation management (SRM), stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), and other geoengineering technologies are still being issued. The programs haven’t stopped—they’ve just been rebranded.Geoengineering is now commonly called “climate intervention.” SRM is now referred to as “solar radiation modification.” SAI is now “stratospheric aerosol intervention.” These semantic shifts aren’t scientific; they’re strategic. They’re designed to obfuscate the truth and shield these programs from Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, media scrutiny, and public opposition.The whistleblower provided me with federal grant data showing millions of taxpayer dollars flowing to universities under these new labels. One organization stood out: the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR). This nonprofit consortium of 130 colleges and universities manages the National Center for Atmospheric Research on behalf of the National Science Foundation. UCAR has received more than $230 million in . Yet much of the documentation about their work is inaccessible without an internal login. Even so, their public-facing pages and direct.scientific papers reveal in stratospheric aerosol assessments and . The university-togeoengineering pipeline is a real problem, and one that I discussed with Dane Wigington on Back to the People a few weeks ago.Continue readingUnacknowledged False Flags: The October 7th Hamas Attack – Part 2by Iain DavisThe purpose and scope of the Unacknowledged False Flag Substack series is explained HERE.***************************In Part 1 we looked at the official account of the October 7th Hamas Attack. In addition to a rocket barrage on multiple targets and maritime assaults, an estimated 2,900 Hamas-aligned “terrorists” breached the Israeli “Iron Wall” defences surrounding Gaza in 29 separate locations simultaneously. The “terrorists” took out all the vital communication infrastructure and key Israeli strategic positions, thus leaving Israeli defences unable to respond for many hours. The attack surprised the Israeli intelligence community which was taken off guard by the scale and speed of the Hamas Attack.Before we start to examine the evidence revealing the absurdity of the official account we should pause to think about what the word “terrorist” means.Continue readingEPA Will Appeal Federal Court’s Fluoridation Rulingby Fluoride Action NetworkWhen the US district court ruled in our favor last September, it deemed fluoridated water an “unreasonable risk” to human health due to its neurotoxicity. The judge pointed out the scope of the potential harm:“The size of the affected population is vast. Approximately 200 million Americans have fluoride intentionally added to their drinking water at a concentration of 0.7 mg/L…. Approximately two million pregnant women, and over 300,000 exclusively formula-fed babies are exposed to fluoridated water.” [p. 76]Ever since the Fluoride Action Network (FAN) petitioned the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to prohibit the use of fluoridation chemicals under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) in 2016, our goal has been to protect the public as quickly as possible. We understand that every day, hundreds of thousands of children are experiencing unnecessary life-long and potentially life-altering brain impairment due to artificial fluoridation schemes. Countless others are experiencing side-effects to their liver, kidneys, endocrine system, bones, and much more.Continue readingMapped: The State of Freedom Around the World in 2025Etienne Note: The USA isn’t even in the top 40!

Now, a new metastudy has assessed 64 different products reviewed in hundreds of studies to shed light on how useful they are in relieving depression.An international team of researchers reviewed 23,933 study records and 1,367 papers, homing in on 209 clinical trials that analyzed the efficacy of 64 common over-the-counter (OTC) supplements aimed at treating depression when taken consistently for more than a week. The collective data covered adults aged 18-60 years with either depression symptoms or an official diagnosis.”Studies were not always straightforward – some tested multiple doses or products, some were in addition to antidepressants and in some trials people had a range of physical conditions in addition to depression,” said study co-author Rachael Frost, a senior lecturer at Liverpool John Moores University. “We grouped our findings into products with substantive evidence (more than 10 trials), emerging evidence (between two and nine trials), and single trials only.”Continue readingAnnouncing: Elon Musk’s “Grok For Government”By Press Release via X.AIThe General Services Administration (GSA) was the first target for Elon Musk when DOGE was getting started, where one of his lieutenants is still in charge of the AI/Tech center.

It was a message — the timing, the precision, the hidden messages — all signs point to a deliberate act that could redefine how we think about early Bitcoin security.On July 4, 2025, while most of the U.S. was celebrating Independence Day, something truly bizarre happened in the world of crypto.80,000 BTC — worth $8.6 billion — were suddenly moved, and almost no one noticed.Here’s what makes it even stranger:The coins came from 8 wallets that had been untouched for over 14 years.Each wallet contained exactly 10,000 BTC.All the transfers happened at the same time, in a perfectly coordinated way.The symmetry and precision of the event make one thing clear: this was no accident.This isn’t just another whale moving coins. This event raises big questions about Bitcoin’s early days, wallet security, and maybe even the limits of cryptography itself.Continue readingVaccines Caused 80% of Autism Cases in America, Official Data Showsby Frank Bergman, slaynews.comAn explosive peer-reviewed study has shaken the scientific community to the core by warning that childhood vaccines have caused most autism cases among Medicaid-enrolled children.According to the official data, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) standard childhood vaccine schedule is responsible for a staggering 80 percent of autism cases in the United States.The study is titled “Vaccination and Neurodevelopmental Disorders: A Study of Nine-Year-Old Children Enrolled in Medicaid.”The team of researchers was led by Dr. Anthony R. Mawson and Dr. Binu Jacob at the Chalfont Research Institute in Jackson, Mississippi.The results of the study were published in the Public Health Policy Journal.The researchers analyzed Florida Medicaid data drawn from the now-defunct DEVEXI database.Continue readingI’m a psychologist who studies couples: People in the happiest relationships do 5 things during weekdays—that most neglectby Mark Travers, ContributorSometimes, 24 hours just doesn’t feel like enough. Between work, commutes, and a growing to-do list, it’s easy to get through an entire weekday without really connecting with your partner. But staying close doesn’t require extra time — just intention.As a psychologist who studies couples (and as a husband), I’ve seen firsthand how small daily rituals can help people feel more connected, especially when life is busy. Even better news: Intimacy isn’t something that has to wait until the weekend.Here’s what people in the happiest relationship do during the weekdays — that most neglect.Most mornings are rushed and chaotic: alarms, deadlines, and the hurry to get out the door. That means the only real moment spent together is waking up in the same bed, and maybe a distracted kiss before they go their separate ways.Continue readingRaising a Puppy on a Budget-Friendly, Real-Food Dietby Dr. Joseph MercolaHomemade puppy meals using affordable ingredients like rice, ground beef, liver, and eggs are healthier and more cost-effective than commercial kibbleDogs need balanced nutrition, which includes protein for muscle development, healthy fats for energy and cell function, and minimal carbohydrates from rice for basic glucose requirementsGround eggshells provide essential calcium for bone development, while egg yolks contribute vitamins A, B, and KDr. Mercola’s “Puppy Power Meal” recipe serves 1 cup per 10 pounds of body weight and can be batch-cooked, portioned, and frozen for convenient feedingProper preparation includes rendering tallow in a pressure cooker, cooking ingredients separately, and combining with essential supplements like fish oil for omega-3 fatty acidsOwning a pet is one of the best things you can do to enrich your life. Be it a cat, fish, or a bird, the friendship and love offered by a pet will be precious as you journey through life.Continue readingCommitment, Confirmation Bias, and the Trap of False Shepherds: How Societies Lose Sight of Truthby Liberty Advocate, ironcountynews.org“They must find it difficult, those who have taken authority as truth, rather than truth as authority.”— Gerald MasseyThroughout history, societies have gravitated toward strong leaders—charismatic politicians, celebrity idols, and even so-called occult or spiritual “guides.” People crave certainty, belonging, and the sense of security that comes from following someone who “knows the way.” But this yearning, if not anchored in truth and moral maturity, becomes the fertile ground for the rise of false shepherds—those who lead, not to liberty and truth, but to manipulation and control.Commitment is powerful. Once we invest ourselves—emotionally, intellectually, or materially—in a cause, a leader, or an ideology, our ego and identity become attached. This can be noble: loyalty to principle, perseverance in hardship, faithfulness in adversity. But it also creates a blind spot: the deeper the commitment, the harder it is to admit error, change direction, or even see new evidence clearly.Continue readingEU Explores Withdrawing Glyphosate Approval over New Shocking Cancer Studyby Sustainable Pulse,A European Commission spokesperson has confirmed that the EU executive has stated that European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) will be formally tasked with assessing whether the peer-reviewed findings of a new international study showing that glyphosate causes six of the most common cancers affect the current risk assessment of glyphosate.“If ECHA or EFSA would confirm that glyphosate no longer meets the approval criteria or that the conditions of approval must be amended, the Commission will act immediately to amend or withdraw the approval,” the EC spokesperson stated Friday.Meanwhile, Dutch farmers’ organization LTO has called for a rapid assessment of the new international study. If the findings are confirmed, the LTO said the product’s approval “must be withdrawn immediately”, Trouw quoted the organization as saying. Glyphosate is widely used by Dutch farmers in both the food and flower industry.Continue readingTariff Mythbusters: A RecapBy Scott A. Burns, Caleb S.

You can read Part 1 here, Part 2 here, Part 3 here, Part 4 here, Part 5 here, Part 6 here, and Part 7 here.One of the greatest blessings of teaching economics is that the news cycle never fails to provide us with teachable material.Today’s headlines are no exception.Since launching their trade war in April, the Trump administration has provided us with a treasure trove of lessons for our students. Perhaps their greatest contribution to this educational cornucopia has been the masterclass they’ve conducted on how not to win a trade war.Their first fatal mistake came on April 2 (“Liberation Day”—the D-Day of today’s trade war). On this day, they broke the first (and second) rule of fighting trade wars: do not start a trade war.Continue readingBitter harvest — 30 years of broken GMO promisesby gmwatchSave Our Seeds and GMWatch explore the fate of the bold claims made for agricultural GMOsWhatever happened to GM Golden Rice? And wasn’t GM salmon supposed to revolutionise aquaculture? Three decades after the first GMO crops were planted, Save Our Seeds, in collaboration with GMWatch, with contributions from Beyond GM, explores the fate of eight GMO promises once presented as game-changers. The conclusion: bold claims, dismal delivery.In 1995, the US Department of Agriculture approved the first Bt maize and glyphosate-tolerant soybean, opening the way for large-scale cultivation of genetically modified (GM) crops. The promises came thick and fast: GMOs would feed the world, reduce chemical use, and save children from malnutrition. Thirty years on, GM crops occupy just 13% of global arable land, and largely concentrated in a handful of countries. Most of the promises remain unmet.Continue reading17 Out-of-Place Artifacts That Suggest High-Tech Civilizations Existed Thousands—or Millions—of Years AgoBy Tara MacIsaacAccording to our conventional view of history, humans have only walked the Earth in our present form for some 200,000 years. Much of the mechanical ingenuity we know of in modern times began to develop only a couple hundred years ago, during the Industrial Revolution. However, evidence today alludes to advanced civilizations existing as long as several thousand years ago—or possibly even earlier.“Oopart”—or “out-of-place artifact”—is the term given to numerous prehistoric objects found in various places across the world today that show a level of technological sophistication incongruous with our present paradigm.Many scientists attempt to explain these ooparts away as natural phenomena. Yet others say that such dismissive explanations only whitewash over the mounting evidence: that prehistoric civilizations had advanced knowledge, and this knowledge was lost over the ages only to be developed anew in modern times.Continue readingMagic mushrooms may hold the secret to longevity: Psilocybin extends lifespan by 57% in groundbreaking studyby Lance D JohnsonCould the key to a longer, healthier life lie in an age-old psychedelic compound? Emerging research suggests that psilocybin—the active ingredient in magic mushrooms—does more than expand consciousness; it may drastically slow aging at the cellular level. A pioneering study from Emory University reveals that psilocin, the metabolized form of psilocybin, extended the lifespan of human cells by up to 57% while preserving critical anti-aging markers.Key points:Psilocin-treated human fibroblast cells lived up to 57% longer, with preserved telomere length—a key biomarker linked to aging.Aged mice given monthly doses of psilocybin showed 60% higher survival rates and improved physical markers like restored fur quality.The compound enhances SIRT1 (the “longevity protein”), reduces oxidative stress, and stabilizes DNA—suggesting multi-faceted anti-aging benefits.Continue readingIRS Gives Churches Blessing to Endorse CandidatesEtienne Note: I am assuming this also gives churches a blessing to expose that “government” has been the biggest scam in history and the pseudo-religion of Statism and flag worship is idolatryby Paul DraguThe government has officially given its blessing to church leaders who want to endorse candidates from the pulpit, removing a decades-old censorship cudgel that was introduced by one of the most knowingly corrupt politicians in American history.The National Religious Broadcasters and two Texas churches sued the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) last year, arguing that the Johnson Amendment violated freedom of speech and freedom to exercise religion. The IRS has now agreed that churches can air political endorsements without danger of losing their tax-exempt statusIn a recent court filing that concluded the lawsuit on Monday, the IRS likened a church preacher who endorses a candidate to a “a family discussion,” aligning with biblical doctrine that says churchgoers are brothers and sisters in Christ. The court filing also said this new official recognition doesn’t violate any rules and therefore does not threaten a church’s tax-exempt status. More from the court document:Continue readingJason Christoff – US Children Super Sick and Unhealthy – 10 Points Explain Why This is Happeningby jchristoffA new study shows children in the US are extremely sick and only getting sicker. These 10 points explain why this is happening, without beating around the bush too much.1. The US has been purposely targeted for collapse, by ancient groups who only profit when freedoms are removed and chaos rules the day. A two-party political relay race toward that exact same singular objective (both parties controlled by the same ancient groups) guarantees that most US citizens believe a political savior will eventually save them. This is called a “sit down psyop” where people are tricked to sit down, do nothing and cheer on a solution that never materializes. This is the political illusion that guarantees the slow but steady destruction of the US empire.2. The US can’t be defeated militarily, so covertly poisoning the population was decided upon, as the primary 5th generation warfare vector to utilize.Continue readingUpcoming Liberty EventsOcean Beach (San Diego) Freedom Bonfire and Potluck – San Diego – July 25th – 4:30 PM – Midnight – Ocean Beach Fire Pits – Next to tower 4 & Dog Beach – 5199 Brighton Ave. San Diego, CA 92107Midwest Peace and Liberty Festival – July 24th – 27th – Gregory, MILiberty Dinner – Saturday, July 19, 2025 – Murphy’s Taproom & Carriage House 393 NH-101 Bedford, NH 03110TeslaTech Extraordinary Technology Conference – August 6 to 10, 2025 – Albuquerque, NMFloating Man – 7-10 August 2025 – Apatin, Serbia, at the ARK Liberland VillageRon Paul’s Birthday BBQ – August 9th – Lake Jackson, TX (USA)Anarcon – Sept 26th-28th – Gore, VALiberpulco – 4-6 September 2025 – Liberland Ark Village, Apatin, SerbiaSat., 7/26 Freedompalooza, Roaring Brook Farm, Northumberland, NH w The Red Pill Friends & moreMises Institute Supporters Summit 2025 – October 16th-18th, 2025 – Even’s LibertyFree State Bitcoin – DIGITAL ASSETS CONFERENCE – Save the date: October 12th, 2025 at Wentworth by the Sea, NH!Free Cities Conference: Returning to Prague – October 31st to November 2nd, 2025 – EventCHD 2025 Conference – November 7th-9th – Austin, TXOcean Beach (San Diego) Freedom Bonfire and PotluckJuly 25th, 2025 4:30PM – 12AMDonations:https://account.venmo.com/u/Dan-Lewis-36Location:Ocean Beach Fire Pits – Next to tower 4 & Dog Beac5199 Brighton Ave. San Diego, CA 92107Memes BonanzaTruth Music of the WeekThis is a Diss by DISL AutomaticThis is a Diss by DISL Automatic is the biggest DISS on the faux Gangsta Rap hip hop artists selling drugs and violence.

Fivememefri – ICE Gets $75 BILLION for 10,000+ Thugs & Prison Camps for 100K People

Boy is MAGA going to be surprised when this is turned on them in 2028! Hi Friends of the Art of Liberty Foundation,Short issue this week as I am traveling… again… the thing that has caught my attention this week is that the mask-wearing, jack-booted thugs from ICE are getting HUGE influxes of cash while even more money is being spent on interment camps for 100,000 people.. WTF?CNN Reports in their article Meet the New National Police Force:”The new law allocates $75 billion for ICE through 2029 to order as many as 10,000 new agents and to build detention facilities for more than 100,000 additional people.“It makes ICE a higher-funded law enforcement agency than the entire FBI, ATF, DEA, US Marshals Service and Bureau of Prisons combined,” Reichlin-Melnick explained, after averaging that $75 billion across the next four years, more than doubling ICE’s budget in each of those years.”The article continues…”Video of agents on horseback and in armored personnel vehicles in MacArthur Park in Los Angeles is striking both for its demonstration of militarized power and for the total inability of the city’s Mayor Karen Bass to do anything about it.“They need to leave and they need to leave right now,” she told reporters on the scene Monday.But Trump administration officials feel no need to listen to local authorities in a city like Los Angeles.“Better get used to us now, because this going to be normal very soon,” El Centro Border Patrol Sector Chief Gregory Bovino told Fox News on Monday, responding to Bass.That new normal may come as a shock to Americans unused to a federal national police force operating inside the country.So now the organized crime “government” is hiring 10,000+ new ICE enforcers in addition to 30,000 new IRS employees… Just as the information revolution is beginning to expose the illegitimacy and criminality of “government”They are going to build this militarized force under the pretense of illegal immigration… which the “government” under Biden allowed and encouraged… knowing that the conservative base around Trump (Bootlicking Statist CHUMPS!) will support the creation of a militarized police state that will ultimately be used on them… What idiots…UPDATE: So… My friend Anam Paiseanta, the founder of Connector.app and author of the voluntaryist children’s book Three Friends Free which we include with our Everything Bundle, bought out the entire remaining stock of my book at Amazon. He has been trying to give the copies away for FREE in a give away on Facebook (FEDbook). He has 4400+ friends on the platform and we have 285 shared friends but Fedbook has shown his offers to a grand total of two folks (including me!). Most people simply don’t understand the level of censorship that truth tellers face on these controlled monopoly media platforms.Anyway… Here are the details if you want to get a copy of To See the Cage Is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many… FOR FREE!Book UpdateWe had been SOLD OUT of To See the Cage is to Leave It at both Amazon AND our distribution center.

There has been a 500% increase in violence against ICE agents and law enforcement officers across the country. The app, created by Joshua Aaron, essentially makes federal law enforcement targets by pinpointing their location. The app is being used by over 77,000 people and gaining more each day.Federalist Assignment Editor Elle Purnell said that the ICEblock app is available on Apple’s App Store. But back in 2021, Apple refused to support Parler in its App Store, and they said that was because they would not allow anything that was related to illegal activity and they claimed that Parler had something to do with what happened on January 6. She said that it seems that Apple has no problem platforming this app, which appears to be helping illegal activity.Continue readingWhy Private Equity Is Buying Hospitals & Shutting Them Downby A More Perfect Union and PBSThere is a growing trend for private equity firms to buy companies and then bankrupt them to enrich their investors. A formula used by private equity involves buying hospitals, loading them up with debt by taking out loans that obligate the hospitals, paying off investors, and then selling the facilities and leasing the real estate back to them, resulting in the closure of hospitals. The people in the community pay the price. In addition, private equity owned physician staffing groups operate nearly one-third of all emergency departments across the country.Emergency departments are the last resort for low income and uninsured and low income people who wait for an emergency to get care. Private equity is attractive to investors because it has an average return on investment rate of 13%, compared to 8.6% in the stock market. Patients are a captive market in emergency situations. Private equity cuts costs by requiring doctors to see more patients, reducing time spent with each patient that reduces quality of care. Private equity often reduces staff and hospitals are short handed, resulting ibn long wait times. Private equity often increases billing and price gouging is the “secret” for increased profits.Continue readingMAHA-FDA are working their tushes off to make market$ for pharma!by Sasha LatypovaHappy 4th of July to my American readers! We are in the midst of a totally peaceful revolutionary war for health independence, that has sadly claimed millions of victims already. We need a Declaration of Health Independence from the cabal of poisoners, like yesterday. Speaking of which, do we have a raging bioweapon-caused pandemic yet, like we were promised by some popular freedom commentators? Or is this now an expected terror attack by Iran? Hard to keep track of what we should be terrified of. Post in comments about the deadly asymptomatic spread in your neighborhood and be on the lookout for those Iranian terrorists while enjoying your backyard BBQs. This morning I found a dead chipmunk. Does it count? He was hit by a car, but we can test him with PCR for the Fauci-Vance-Nipah-Ebola-CIA-Resilience-cov2 virus, and then RFK Jr can declare the next pandemic, and Bob Malone can slather himself in baby oil and roll in a pile of the DOD cash. I want to teleport through my now government-mandated wearable back to the innocent world before 2020 when all of this would be a dumb joke.Continue readingGenocide Convention: Liable of Arrest and Punishment. Heads of State, Heads of Government Supportive of Genocide against the People of PalestineBy Prof Michel ChossudovskyAs we recall, The Republic of South Africa —referring to Article II of the Genocide Convention–, stated that the crimes committed by the State of Israel “are genocidal in character because they are intended to bring about the destruction of a substantial part of the Palestinian national, racial and ethnical group. …”.The acts outlined by South Africa “are all attributable to [The state of] Israel, which has failed to prevent genocide and is committing genocide in manifest violation of the Genocide Convention. … “ (emphasis added)(See The Republic of South Africa’s 84 page document submitted to the ICJ)Article II of the Genocide Convention reads as follows. It esssentially defines acts of genocide, all of which apply to Palestine.In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:Continue readingThe Prosecution of Roger Ver: A Lawfare Case Studyby The Solari Report“Ver’s case features the trilogy of infamy for lawfare—novel theory of prosecution and novel application of tax law… selective prosecution… and extensive government misconduct.”~ Attorney Robert BarnesCrypto pioneer and entrepreneur Roger Ver is well known as one of the first crypto investors in the world. As an early advocate of Bitcoin, Ver obtained the moniker “Bitcoin Jesus” for his promotion of and enthusiasm for what was, in 2011, a new technology.Beginning at a young age, Ver developed a deep interest in economics and understood early on the importance of freedom of transaction and decentralization. For him, personal sovereignty, non-interventionism, and limited government were essential for America’s success. Thus, at only 21 years old, eager to share these ideas with others and initiate positive change, Ver ambitiously entered the political scene in the state of California as a libertarian. He used the opportunity to raise awareness of the corruption of law enforcement and the intelligence agencies while advocating for an end to mass killing and war.Continue reading1,000-pound wheels and robots now farming Dyson strawberriesBy Michael FrancoA new video takes you inside Dyson’s impressive vertical farming operation, which is home to 1,225,000 strawberry plants and shows you how the company is applying its manufacturing knowledge to producing homegrown food for British consumers.In the English county of Lincolnshire, a 26-acre glasshouse built by the Dyson company stretches across the land. Inside, giant wheels weighing about 500 kg (~1,100 lb) hold rows of strawberry plants that are slowly rotated to provide them optimal exposure to sunlight. UV-emitting robots rove the aisles exposing the plants to enough light to kill any mold that dares grow on the plant leaves, while a distributor bot releases beneficial bugs onto the plants in order to kill aphids and other destructive pests.When the strawberries are ripe enough to be picked, the job is done by 16 robot arms that delicately pluck each fruit from the plant. According to James Dyson himself, the bots were able to harvest 200,000 strawberries in one month alone.Continue readingWhat did BRICS just declare?Etienne Note: Reminder: The BRICS are running “Government” on their populations just like the NATO/G7/G20 countries and support everything from “Climate Change” to Global “government”.12:52 PMby Edward SlavsquatOn July 6, BRICS member states signed the Joint Declaration of the 17th BRICS Summit, “Strengthening Global South Cooperation for More Inclusive and Sustainable Governance”, in Rio de Janeiro.Similar to the game-changing Kazan Declaration, this year’s BRICS declaration serves as a manifesto for the Multipolar World Order. Containing 126 commitments, the document reads like a Bill of Rights against the global tyranny of the Collective West.I encourage you to read the entire declaration, but here are some highlights:“We reiterate our commitment to reforming and improving global governance by promoting a more just, equitable, agile, effective, efficient, responsive, representative, legitimate, democratic and accountable international and multilateral system in the spirit of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits. In this regard, we take note of the adoption of the Pact of the Future at the Summit of the Future, including its two annexes, the Global Digital Compact and the Declaration of Future Generations.”Continue readingNew ‘Mind-Reading’ AI Predicts What Humans Will Do Next, And It’s Shockingly AccurateBy StudyFinds Analysis / Reviewed by Steve FinkScientists created an AI called Centaur that can predict human behavior across any psychological experiment with unprecedented accuracyThe AI outperformed decades-old specialized models and successfully predicted behavior in completely new scenarios it had never seen beforeCentaur’s internal workings became more aligned with human brain activity just by learning to predict our choices, potentially revolutionizing our understanding of cognitionMUNICH — An artificial intelligence system can now predict your next move before you make it.

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

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