A CIA study was published on July 2nd about the Obama Administration’s accusations that in 2016 Donald Trump’s Presidential campaign had colluded with the Russian Government to swing the 2016 U.S. Presidential election toward a Trump victory, and it reported and presented conclusive evidences that this “Russiagate” narrative had been an Obama Administration hoax, and that its principals (co-authors) were the then-CIA Director John Brennan, the then FBI Director James Comey, and the then Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, the three persons who totally excluded, from their falsely (fraudulently) alleged 2016 U.S. ‘Intelligence Community’ study and report (“INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT: Assessing Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent US Elections”) on the matter, any participation by the Defense Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, the National Reconnaissance Office, the intelligence elements of the five DoD services; the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Space Force, the Department of State’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research, and the other five U.S. intelligence agencies of the 18-member U.S. Intelligence Community. These three intelligence chiefs — CIA, FBI, and DNI — produced that fake ‘Intelligence Community Assessment’, by including in it ‘evidences’ (such as the infamous “Steele dossier”) and by excluding from it the numerous solid and irrefutaby authentic evidences.

This new analysis, by the current CIA team that was headed by the Trump-appointed CIA Director John Ratcliffe, had been completed in May this year but had not been reported to the public until Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post did so on July 2nd, in a superb exclusive report by Miranda Devine, which included in the online version (which isn’t paywalled) the actual Ratcliffe-headed study. This CIA study is absolutely devastating against Obama — just as the New York Post’s earlier and likewise exclusive and extensively documented online report about the Biden family’s international bribery-and-influence-peddling ring (and Hunter Biden’s laptop) had been, which was further documented by Republican hearings in the House and Senate. (The Biden Administration prosecuted Hunter Biden on illegal firearms-possession and tax-evasion but not on the bribery-conspiracy, which would have implicated his father, who then pardoned Hunter in order to prevent any possible future prosecution of himself.)

Devine’s July 2nd news-report was titled “Obama’s Trump-Russia collusion report was corrupt from start: CIA review”.

On 7 August 2020, I had already headlined “‘Russiagate’ Hoax Unravels, but Their Anti-Russia Sanctions Don’t.” and presented a comprehensive news-report on the demonstrable falsity, even at that time, of the Obama Administration’s allegations against both Trump and Russia’s Government.

As I had made clear there, not only was the Obama-Administration’s “Russiagate” accusation against Trump fraudulent, but ALSO their allegation against Russia was fraudulent. This fact — that the accusations against Russia were likewise fraudulent —was hidden, not reported, by Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post, and by the Republican congressional investigations into Russiagate — they were ONLY to exonerate Trump. (Consequently, those Republican propaganda-operations — the N.Y. Post and the Republican congressional investigations — IGNORED the most-incriminating evidences against the Biden-family influence-peddling ring, which concerned Biden’s forcing Ukraine to fire the actually HONEST Ukrainian investigator into Hunter Biden’s influence-peddling to protect Ukraine’s Burisma gas corporation, whose owner had placed Hunter onto his board in order to get that investigator fired — as the then-V.P. Joe Biden subsequently did force Ukraine’s government to do. That corruptness was ignored, and Republicans focused instead on the Bidens and China, etc., not on their corruptness with an ‘ally’ such as Ukraine.)

In fact, even earlier, already on 16 July 2017, I had headlined “Russiagate Exposed: It’s a Fraud” and reported:

It has now been incontrovertibly proven that the time-stamps and other data in the Democratic National Committee (DNC) files that were leaked to Wikileaks are consistent with those files having been leaked by a person who was inside the DNC and not by an external hacker as has been presumed by all of the ‘news’-reports that this was a ‘hack’ …

So, even that early, it was already clear, incontrovertible, that the ‘Russiagate’ narrative was based upon lies by the Obama Administration, initially to weaken the Trump camaign, but afterwards to smear both Trump and Putin so as to make politically virtually impossible for Trump as President to do anyting to reduce American aggression against Russia.

Furthermore, the Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russiagate investigation found nothing to prosecute against Trump on conspiracy with Russia, but falsely alleged that Russia’s Government had tried to throw the 2016 U.S. Presidential election to Trump, and Mueller also alleged that Trump might have obstructed justice (and Mueller indicated that he hoped that if Biden would win in 2020, then President Biden would prosecute Trump for that, which Biden declined to do). Mueller’s entire career in the U.S. Government had been devoted to framing innocents in order to protect the guilty.

In domestic U.S. politics, America’s Government and media presented these matters as being Democrats versus Republicans; but, in international affairs, America’s media bipartisanly presented these matters to the public as being America versus Russia, so as to boost sales of U.S.-made weapons etc. (to ‘defend America and other democracies against Russia’). It’s all a sales-promotion campaign for those weapons-makers, regardless which of the two billionaires-controlled Parties happens to be in power at the time. They constantly lie to impose their (billionaires’) dictatorship.

On June 6th, I proposed what I believe is the only possible way that such corrupt control (by billionaires) of an alleged democracy can be prevented. Thus far, nobody takes (nor even considers) it seriously. I welcome feedback on my proposal, and can be contacted about it here.

Lew – 

A Christian brother sent out the standard July 4th message. My response:

More David Barton history.

How about this history, from other founding documents:

1. Whereas the several states are founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law …

2. In the name of God, source of all reason and justice, the several states …

3. Whereas the people of the several states profess their full belief in Jesus Christ, Our Lord …

Oh, wait, the first is the preamble to a section of the Canadian constitution, the second from the preamble to the Argentina constitution, and the third from Malta (substitute “the several states” with the respective country name).

Yet, you quoted the Declaration that was arguing for the separation of the colonies from England. It is not the document that founded the United States. That would be the Constitution — a document that does not mention God. And our government officially declared early on that the US is not a Christian nation.

Instead of invoking the names of God and Jesus Christ, the writers of our Declaration went with the then-woke, politically correct “Nature’s God.” Are you OK with that reference as a sign of faithfulness to the one and only God? Especially given the examples above, with other examples not listed.

Now, given the preambles listed above, what makes US the one true city on the hill?

I suggest you read more history than that which is taught in public schools or emanates from court historians. You might discover the writers and signers of the Declaration and Constitution were just political men. And, in the case of the Declaration, were making a political argument and not really establishing a Christian nation. Or even a proposition nation.

And that is OK. They do not need to be made saints … unless you need to justify neoconism as your religion.

This is crazy. To lose over one aircraft a day with crew for years is nuts. One thousand seven hundred crewmen died in this operation. Six hundred aircraft, or more, were lost in the mountains and jungles. Airplanes and pilots take a long time to replace on the other side of the world. It was also crazy to fly 24/7, no matter what the weather conditions. 

President Roosevelt (FDR) called Chinese General Chiang Kai-shek “Cash My Check”. Madame Chiang was the Dragon Lady. Seeing her in Congress begging for more war supplies reminds me of Netanyahu and Zelensky in Congress recently. Nothing really changes.

Wars are insane. As an aircraft mechanic, I know how much work it takes to build a plane, maintain it, and keep it airworthy. It amazes me that the planes fly as well as they do. To have people trying to shoot each other out of the sky is nuts.

Hi Lew,

I’m seeing near-universal opinion that the Trump administration has joined the Deep State on the Epstein issue.

There is an alternative possibility… not sure I’m Pollyanna enough to believe it but what the heck.

Perhaps the impending release of Epstein data was a threat to powerful people <check>, who have now caved and given in on some other significant issue? (Most likely Israel-related) Leaving Trump et al to publicly do a somewhat amateurish job of back-pedaling.

It’s at least possible, tho Bongino’s behavior would seem to contradict. Time will tell.

Hi Lew,

These Baptists are barking up the wrong tree.

These private companies that advertise sports betting, as well as casinos, are not the real problem. The government lotteries are. 

Just look at the advertising.

Casino and sports book operators advertise the fun surrounding the thrill of placing a bet. They tout the fun you’ll have at the casino in their entertainment offerings such as watching some over-the-hill rock star or their great dining options. Sports books  show the fun you’ll have with friends while watching some sporting event with your friends, while consuming beer and chips, plus the camaraderie.

GovCo ads for their numbers rackets, aka Education Lotteries,, show the fabulous riches that will be yours if you buy that $5, $10 or $20 scratch-off ticket. Look at you! You’re wearing a gold sport coat and hobnobbing with other winners talking about your yachts. But, if you read the small print on the back of the ticket you’ll find out that for every $100 spent you will get $50 in return. It’s downright criminal. 

The biggest mistake these Baptists make is thinking that using government is the  way to make a moral society. If that’s the best route to root out sin, why do we need churches? And they wonder why the pews are empty.

Il manoscritto fornisce un grimaldello al lettore, una chiave di lettura semplificata, del mondo finanziario e non che sembra essere andato "fuori controllo" negli ultimi quattro anni in particolare. Questa è una storia di cartelli, a livello sovrastatale e sovranazionale, la cui pianificazione centrale ha raggiunto un punto in cui deve essere riformata radicalmente e questa riforma radicale non può avvenire senza una dose di dolore economico che potrebbe mettere a repentaglio la loro autorità. Da qui la risposta al Grande Default attraverso il Grande Reset. Questa è la storia di un coyote, che quando non riesce a sfamarsi all'esterno ricorre all'autofagocitazione. Lo stesso è accaduto ai membri del G7, dove i sei membri restanti hanno iniziato a fagocitare il settimo: gli Stati Uniti.

Il pensionamento di Klaus Schwab e la sua successiva caduta in disgrazia simboleggiano i cambiamenti tettonici in atto nell'attuale ordine mondiale. L'obiettivo di tutta la vita di Schwab è stato costruire un ordine mondiale globalista governato dalle élite internazionali e dalle Nazioni Unite. Ha fondato e diretto il World Economic Forum (WEF) per decenni e ha promosso questa visione di governance globale per il bene dei popoli del mondo.

Schwab e i suoi compatrioti nutrivano grandi ambizioni: rimodellare l'ordine globale con un “Grande Reset”. La conferenza annuale del WEF a Davos è stata probabilmente l'incontro tra élite globali più prestigioso degli anni 2010. Da questo incontro sono scaturite decisioni politiche, priorità globali, cooperazione internazionale e numerose iniziative. L'incontro di Davos ha promosso i criteri ambientali, sociali e di governance (ESG) in tutto il mondo, nell'ambito della visione di Schwab di promuovere il “capitalismo degli stakeholder”.

Durante la pandemia, il mondo ha visto per quello che era l'impulso totalitario dietro l'agenda globalista di Schwab. La reazione pubblica post-COVID è stata dura. Nel 2022 la conferenza di Davos ha iniziato a perdere slancio; nel 2023 e nel 2024 hanno iniziato a mostrarsi le prime crepe; nel 2025 era diventata in gran parte una barzelletta. Le persone in tutto il mondo hanno respinto il loro elitarismo globale verticistico.

Schwab ha visto il suo sogno di un capitalismo degli stakeholder quasi realizzato... quasi, perché poi l'ha visto crollare. Ma con lui fuori dai giochi e l'ordine globale da lui sostenuto in rovina, cosa succederà adesso? Il successo di Trump, emblematico di molti movimenti populisti di destra in tutto il mondo, è stato in parte guidato da rinnovate preoccupazioni per la sicurezza e l'innovazione.

Le élite globali sono praticamente addormentate al volante, o peggio, complici della stagnazione dell'Europa e dell'aggressiva espansione della Cina. Di fatto il movimento ESG, e più in generale il movimento ambientalista, hanno intrappolato i Paesi occidentali in costose formalità burocratiche, lasciando in gran parte indenne la Cina. La linea di politica “la propria nazione al primo posto” dà priorità allo sviluppo economico interno e alla rapida innovazione, ed entrambe queste cose migliorano la posizione strategica di un Paese a livello internazionale, aumentando al contempo gli standard di vita dei cittadini.

Molti nazionalisti populisti non vogliono alcun “ordine” internazionale, ma il principio “la propria nazione al primo posto” può davvero funzionare senza riferimento al resto del mondo? I populisti a volte sminuiscono il cosiddetto “ordine internazionale basato sulle regole” degli anni '90, definendolo una copertura per le élite affinché manipolino tutti gli altri. Questa caratterizzazione, sebbene in gran parte ingiusta, ha portato a richieste di “disaccoppiamento” dagli altri Paesi a favore di agende nazionaliste.

La strategia “prima la propria nazione” può essere valida, ma deve comprendere le regole del gioco. In politica estera un approccio più moderato e isolazionista può essere la scelta migliore, soprattutto quando si tratta di interessi nazionali a somma zero; ciononostante presumere che tutte le relazioni e le interazioni internazionali debbano essere a somma zero è un grave errore.

La maggior parte delle nostre interazioni con le persone, sia nel nostro Paese che a livello internazionale, si svolge nel contesto di uno scambio reciprocamente vantaggioso. Entrambe le parti traggono beneficio dalla possibilità di stipulare accordi volontari e commerciare tra loro. Ciò crea un ordine spontaneo e complesso, sia all'interno dei Paesi che tra i Paesi stessi. Mentre un rinnovato interesse per l'identità nazionale e per la prosperità rappresenta un gradito antidoto al cosmopolitismo omogeneizzante del dominio delle élite mondiali, dovremmo riflettere su come potrebbe presentarsi il panorama internazionale.

Un ordine globale può essere sia spontaneo che organico. Può essere al servizio degli individui attraverso accordi e associazioni volontari. Sebbene questo tipo di ordine non richieda pianificazione o direzione da parte dello stato, richiede ai governi di esercitare moderazione e limitare il loro interventismo. Burocrazia, tasse elevate, sussidi e ogni sorta di obblighi legali possono impedire la formazione di un sano ordine spontaneo.

Un importante esempio negativo di mancanza di moderazione è la gravosa regolamentazione delle catene di approvvigionamento e delle normative ambientali dell'Unione Europea. Queste norme distorcono, e in alcuni casi distruggono, l'ordine spontaneo. Sostituiscono processi decisionali e piani decentralizzati con i piani coercitivi delle élite globali; il risultato ha spaziato dalla stagnazione economica alle proteste, fino a una produzione energetica costosa e inaffidabile.

Nazionalisti e populisti dovrebbero impegnarsi a fondo per smantellare questi strumenti di controllo legali e normativi. E lo stanno facendo, ma non dovrebbero creare nuove barriere all'ordine spontaneo.

Quest'ultimo emerge dal basso verso l'alto, non dall'alto verso il basso. Si sviluppa attraverso lo scambio e l'associazione volontari piuttosto che attraverso la coercizione. Non è soggetto ai capricci, agli interessi, o all'ideologia di poche persone influenti come Klaus Schwab. L'azione volontaria dal basso verso l'alto significa che un ordine spontaneo sarà decentralizzato, adattabile, creativo e innovativo.

Creare questo ordine richiede regole chiare che si applichino equamente a tutti i livelli. Queste regole dovrebbero essere relativamente semplici e stabili. Non abbiamo bisogno di orde di burocrati o autorità di regolamentazione per “gestire” questo nuovo ordine mondiale. L'associazione volontaria significa anche libertà. L'ordine spontaneo che emergerà dal coordinamento decentralizzato sarà un sistema aperto, piuttosto che chiuso, in cui i nuovi entranti saranno i benvenuti.

In un ordine spontaneo, gli operatori storici hanno una capacità limitata di proteggersi dai nuovi concorrenti. I nuovi entranti, più piccoli e agili, imporranno ai player consolidati innovazione e miglioramento continui. Anziché avere fossati legali e normativi a protezione di gruppi di interesse consolidati, in un ordine spontaneo ognuno può perseguire le proprie iniziative nell'arena internazionale. Questa competizione libera e aperta libererà molta più creatività, innovazione e soluzioni organiche di quanto la precedente élite globale, Klaus Schwab e il WEF avrebbero mai potuto immaginare.

President Trump’s recent statements about Epstein are an outrage to say the least. It was an out of touch deflection at best. When a reporter asks about Epstein being a possible foreign agent, it should warrant a serious response. Instead, there was feigned outrage that the issue was even being touched upon. Trump’s response:

“Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy’s been talked about for years. You’re asking — we have Texas, we have this, we have all of the things. And are people still talking about this guy? This creep? That is unbelievable,”

AG Pam Bondi’s 180 degree turn from there are thousands of hours of videos and the client list is sitting on my desk, to there is nothing to see here, is a bit disturbing as well. This comes after failing to reveal the truth about the JFK assassination, 911 false flag attacks, and other promises made by Trump. This includes the implied promise to stop the mRNA bioweapon injections when RFK Jr. joined his campaign. It also includes breaking his promise to be the peace President, joining Netanyahu and starting a war against Iran, which after it started going badly, ended up with America bombing an empty facility in Iran, and Iran giving a token response leading to a cease fire.

It also comes after Trump’s big government deficit spending bill was passed. The fact that Trump attacked America First Congressman Thomas Massie and endorsed Lindsay Graham and Byron Donalds speaks volumes. Trump is pushing Palantir’s Orwellian digital database on every American along with the Real ID…

Given the massive deception that is coming from the Trump administration and the prior Biden administration, and well every administration before that, critical thinking requires that we examine everything we see with a healthy skepticism. We’ll let me rephrase that. We should assume we are being lied to and misdirected and then seek to determine if that is the case or not.

Trump’s prior friendship with Jeffrey Epstein should not be ignored. There needs to be a serious look at why the Trump administration is covering up on the Epstein client list and Epstein’s murder?

It is a fair question to ask if Trump is being blackmailed? Or if he is covering for friends? Covering up for a foreign nation?

Epstein is thought to have been a Mossad agent and Ghislaine Maxwell’s father was a known Mossad agent and double agent. The concern over a foreign nation like Israel or any other country blackmailing American politicians from both political parties, media members, and business people, is a serious concern.

Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, Pam Bondi, and now Trump are all saying there is nothing to see here. The problem is that nobody believes them, especially Trump’s base of supporters. There are already those pushing the 3-D chess nonsense that Trump is covering it up to save the economy, prevent a war, and so on. This is wishful thinking and deliberate misdirection.

Kash Patel and Dan Bongino were clamoring for the Epstein list. Now while in power they claim Epstein died by suicide. This is a seriously hard sell, and it does not appear that anyone is buying.

Attorney Alan Dershowitz, a friend of President Trump and former attorney for Epstein claims that he knows the names on the Epstein client list but is bind by attorney client privilege or confidentiality to not disclose those names. However, there are exceptions to this privilege. According to Cornell Law’s website:

“some courts limit the attorney-client privilege if there exists an overriding public policy interest, such as protecting a child. See Matter of Jacqueline F, 47 N.Y.2d 215, 417 N.Y.S.2d 884 (N.Y. 1979).”

This would likely require an imminent threat not a speculative one. If there is a belief that these powerful pedophile predators are still engaging in child rape (which is highly likely given the disease) Dershowitz may be able to break privilege and a court could potentially order him to do so. This is not likely however, as the DOJ has stated that the case is closed and how Dershowitz obtained the information may also be relevant.

The fact that Dershowitz has publicly stated that he knows the names on the list establishes that the list exists. Dershowitz essentially has revealed that the Trump administration is covering up the Epstein client list to protect powerful people in politics, media, academia, and business.

There is such hysteria and political polarization that the truth is difficult to discern on many of the claims that get leveled back and forth in contemporary politics. Revealing the pedophile child rapists on Epstein’s list may take many powerful people down and disrupt society. So be it. It may actually be a good thing for Americans to realize that the people on both sides of the aisle are creeps.

Trump’s FDA just approved another deadly mRNA bioweapon injection for at risk children. This is an outright mocking of supporters and another crime against humanity. It is clear that the Trump administration like the Biden administration is against the American people. The Trump administration is covering for pedophiles while at the same time continuing to target children with biological and technological weapons of mass destruction.

There are no reasonable or rational explanations for this other than an allegiance to evil. This is akin to child sacrifice.

The Trump administration really does have an Epstein problem.

The Trump administration needs to reveal all the data on Jeffrey Epstein and the full client list. Otherwise, this is the beginning of the end of the Trump presidency. Activists will need to look outside the Trump administration for a candidate to win the Republican nomination in 2028.

Some might claim that Trump is all of and listening to the wrong advisors and so on. The problem with that scenario is that billionaires are not naïve. The client list needs to be revealed or trust in the Trump administration in all areas will erode like quicksand.

The post Trump’s Epstein Problem appeared first on LewRockwell.

I estimate that half of the Federal Government’s Programs, Functions and Departments are Unconstitutional, making them Null and Void and a Criminal Enterprise. This is so because they are not authorized by the Enumerated Powers in the Constitution, and are rife with theft and corruption. Those activities having no legal foundation for existence, even if fraudulently enacted into law, can be eliminated with a stroke of President Trump’s pen. But we must still consider the following assumptions:

Assumption # 1. Trump’s power to terminate unlawful activities, even those established by unconstitutional laws, cannot be questioned.

Assumption #2. Elected Officials and Bureaucrats of the Administrative State take orders and bribes from the Parasitic Super- Rich Ruling Class (PSRRC) and their Jewish Lobby. What the people want is of no  consequence to them.

Assumption #3. Democrat Elected Officials, by their actions, are Communists. Republican officials profess to be “America First” but privately, many of them hate Trump, America, and its people. Most elected officials in both parties are corrupted.

Assumption #4. Most Media, in all its forms, is owned or controlled by the Communists AKA Democrats .

Assumption #5. All major cities are Communist and can only survive, but barely, with financial support from the Federal Establishment. This support, and all Federal  financial support of the states is unconstitutional. If this support is continued, it will lead to civil war. Patriots will not work and sacrifice to support Communists who don’t work, especially when things get really tight.

Assumption #6. The Federal Establishment has unlawfully usurped and  now controls countless state functions with money from income taxes.  This reverses the Constitutional roles of Federal Establishment and the Sovereign States. As long as this exists, there can be no Constitutional Republic nor prosperity for the people.

Assumption #7. The United States can only be defeated by weapons of mass destruction or from within by the communist army of illegal invaders. Therefore it is impossible to have a “national security” justification for our troops on foreign soil, or for giving any  form of foreign aid. Officials who vote for or authorize deployment or foreign aid should be prosecuted. In fact, it is unconstitutional without a mandatory Declaration of War.

Assumption #8. Illegal Invaders must be deported as fast as possible, or they will destroy America as they did Europe. There can be no support of any kind given to invaders. The Constitution stipulates that this is treason, subject to the death penalty. Employers of illegals should be prosecuted. It is impossible to have America First and allow illegals to remain or give them any support.

Assumption #9. The FBI and CIA must be reformed or disbanded. Frankly, I think reform is impossible.

Assumption #10. Politicians must get their share of the big money contributions or they can’t be elected. President Trump is no exception.

In spite of these assumptions, President Trump must terminate the unlawful actions, functions, and departments of the Federal Establishment because they are null and void ab initio. He can do this with executive orders.

The Parasitic Super-Rich Ruling Class AKA The Deep State, Swamp, or Establishment will do anything to stop Trump’s terminations of their unlawful but highly profitable activities such as foreign aid and wars for profit. The military is needed at home to combat the Communist 20-million- strong army of illegals. The need is so dire that we might have to use the draft.

It is estimated that there are more than 30 million illegals in the country. If they are still  here when the census takes place in 2030,  we will become a one-party Communist country. This is so because the census determines the number and location of members of Congress.

President Trump must understand that this is the only way for his great vision to succeed. Failure to terminate these unconstitutional programs makes it financially impossible to return the country to prosperity and the Constitutional Republic. Economic Realities are absolute proof that this country cannot survive with Trump’s plans alone.

I am aware that our traitors in and out of government will continue to do everything to stop President Trump, including additional assassination attempts. It is alleged that they killed the Kennedy Brothers for much less.

But if Trump, in the face of death, does save the Republic, he will go down in history as our greatest President.

Trump needs no reason or legislation to terminate programs with a stroke of his pen because they are unconstitutional and void on their face. The complicit Judges can pound sand. Those who object can only blame the Founders.

The post We are Doomed if Trump Refuses to Terminate Criminal Enterprise in Government! appeared first on LewRockwell.

Last week the Department of Justice announced that Jeffrey Epstein did not maintain a “client list” of prominent individuals who may have broken the law at Epstein’s private island. These individuals could be blackmailed by Epstein and whatever intelligence agencies were working with him.

In February, in response to a question about when Epstein’s client list would be made public, Attorney General Pam Bondi said she had it on her desk and would soon release it. She now says she meant she had a file related to Epstein, not the Epstein client list.

The Justice Department also claimed it did a full investigation of the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death and can definitively say that Epstein committed suicide even though an autopsy paid for by Epstein’s brother concluded that Epstein was likely murdered.

The Justice Department’s announcement last week was met with outrage, much of it coming from some of President’s Trump’s most prominent allies, such as popular media figures Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, and Benny Johnson.

The willingness of so many Trump allies to openly criticize the Epstein announcement and other actions like the bombing of Iran is a positive development. Advancing liberty requires that more people refuse to automatically trust government officials, whether concerning Epstein, wars, the economy, or other important matters.

Widespread questioning of government presents an opportunity for the liberty movement. Those who understand the philosophy, history, and economics of liberty can explain that it is not just that some government officials lie. Instead, all governments lie, and the more important the issue the bigger the lie. In fact, the modern state is built on a series of lies, including:

• that the moral prohibitions against murder and theft do not apply to the government,
• that government regulations protect consumers, workers, and small businesses from greedy corporations,
• that the best way to help the poor is through government bureaucracies, not private charities,
• that government bureaucrats know a child’s educational needs better than do the child’s parents,
• that the US government is justified in intervening in countries around the world because the US is an exceptional force for justice and liberty and its crusade for global democracy is worth the ending of many innocent lives,
• that the government has the moral authority to override personal health and lifestyle choices — such as whether to drink raw milk — for our own good,
• that foreign aid takes money from wealthy Americans to give to poor people in other countries,
• that a government-created central bank can print the way to prosperity while enabling a welfare-warfare state without causing a boom-bust business cycle and continuously reducing the average American’s standard of living through eroding the dollar’s purchasing power,
• that gun control, mass surveillance, and airport harassment keep us safe, and
• that government is the source of our rights so government can restrict or “modify” our rights at will.

Exposing such lies is key for restoring liberty. The good news is that the more mistrust of government grows the easier it will be to find people receptive to our message.

The post Mistrusting Government About Epstein and More appeared first on LewRockwell.

The domestic situation in America continues to spiral out of control, Robert Bridge writes.

In recent days, global attention has been focused on the explosive events in the Middle East and Ukraine, and that helps people to forget about the domestic situation in America that continues to spiral out of control.

Evidence that the American people are slowly starting to awaken from a deep stupor known as ‘the American Dream’ began in earnest on June 12 as Democratic Senator for California Alex Padilla stormed a speaking event by the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and was quickly arrested by federal agents.

Padilla cut off Noem as she was delivering a statement in the Los Angeles FBI headquarters regarding the Trump administration’s response to the protests in that city against the DHS and its immigration-enforcement campaign.

Padilla was abruptly ejected from the room, forced to the ground by police officers and placed in handcuffs during the rapidly unfolding situation.

The incident came amid a particularly hostile atmosphere in Los Angeles, which had been hammered with protests against President Donald Trump’s highly divisive federal immigration ICE raids. While the senator was not arrested, his ejection from the hall by security guards follows the arrests of other public officials, who the administration has accused of interfering with its enforcement of immigration laws.

“I was there peacefully,” Padilla said in his first public comments shortly following the incident. “At one point I had a question, and so I began to ask a question. I was almost immediately forcibly removed from the room. I was forced to the ground, and I was handcuffed.”

He continued: “If this is how this administration responds to a senator with a question, if this is how the Department of Homeland Security responds to a senator with a question, you can only imagine, what they’re doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California and throughout the country.”

Noem said the U.S. Secret Service “thought he was an attacker and officers acted appropriately.”

The shocking display of brute force against the Democrat provoked California Governor Gavin Newsom to call the Trump Administration “tyrannical” and this remark came after the Governor shared an image of the “California Republic” state flag, a move many interpreted as a thinly veiled warning for Washington to back off.

It gets better. On the same day as Padilla’s ejection from the conference, the United States witnessed a series of late-night legal actions, when a federal judge first ruled that President Trump had unlawfully federalized the California National Guard. He was ordered its return back to state control, saying he had violated the U.S. Constitution. Just hours later, the ruling was overturned by another federal judge in defense of Trump’s actions.

Newsom had said he planned to return the 4,000-members of the Guard to their regular duties protecting the border, working on wildfire prevention or getting back to their day jobs. Instead, they continued to perform their duties under the command of the U.S. commander-in-chief, squaring off against protesters in downtown Los Angeles.

On the basis of the order, Trump then signaled a willingness to expand the use of federalization orders to additional National Guards, as well as the possible deployment of U.S. Marines to other beleaguered urban areas. This announcement was greeted with unsurprising anger by numerous Democratic Governors.

This unsettling set of circumstances was followed by the U.S. Marines being deployed to Los Angeles where they temporarily detained a civilian. It was the first known detention by active-duty troops deployed there by Trump. The Democrats continued to voice their heated objections against the use of active-duty U.S. military forces being used in a policing role.

Finally, on June 14th in Minnesota the majority leader of the State House was assassinated along with her husband by a former appointee of the governor. Earlier that morning, Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were shot in their home in nearby Champlin and hospitalized without life-threatening injuries. Police responding to the attack on the Hoffmans checked on the Hortmans’ home, where 57-year-old Vance Luther Boelter opened fired at them. The shooter managed to escape the crime scene on foot, thus sparking the most extensive manhunt in Minnesota history.

In the suspect’s car was found a crudely drafted political manifesto, as well as an assortment of material pertaining to the “No Kings” protests that swept hundreds of cities across the nation, suggesting a political connection between the murders and the movement. Governor Tim Walz called the shooting “an act of targeted political violence”. Inside Boelter’s vehicle was a hit list of nearly 70 people, including abortion rights advocates, Democratic politicians, and abortion providers. Incidentally, the assassinated legislator had recently been the deciding vote in abolishing state funding for healthcare for illegal immigrants; this is notable given the anti-ICE element of the current protests.

However one may wish to interpret these events – as random, unfortunate scenarios that are par for course in any vibrant democracy, or something far more disturbing and dangerous – it is clear that the United States of America appears to be more on the political knife edge than at any time in its recent history. Whether the tensions will explode like a tinderbox with the least bit of disturbance remains to be seen. Until then, the Democrats and Republicans need to call a political time out and resolve their well-known differences in a calm and methodical manner before the street decides to take matters into its own dirty hands. It goes without saying that the last thing that any country needs – and perhaps least of all the United States, which has more firearms per capita than any other country in the world – is a full-blown civil war to sort out deeply entrenched problems.

You want war? Bring it on.

This is it. The ruling classes of the Empire of Chaos, plus the current, clownish Circus Ringmaster have finally realized that BRICS is a serious strategic threat – and existential challenge – to their unilateral domination of the current system of international relations.

They didn’t come to this conclusion by carefully scrutinizing the BRICS annual summit in Rio – or last year’s ground-breaking summit in Kazan for that matter: they are lousy at doing basic homework.

It’s more like they were awakened from their torpor by feeling in their skins which way the – global – wind is blowing, in terms of all sorts of models being tested to bypass the U.S. dollar and the iron-clad control of the Bretton Woods institutions.

The conclusion was inescapable: BRICS have crossed the ultimate red line. No more Mr. Nice Guy talk shop. The 130-plus point Rio declaration, released at the first day of the summit, spells it out, politely but decisively: this is what we are, a systemic alternative; and we’re going to write the rules of the new system our way.

Building the Geopolitics of Sovereignty

BRICS 2025 in Rio was a stunning surprise. Expectations initially were low – when comparing the meek Brazilian presidency with the extraordinary amount of work put out by Russia in 2024 leading to Kazan.

Yet in the end Rio coalesced what Kazan had annonced: the new, rising system will be all about sovereignty, equality, and fairness – with emphasis on continental-wide economic integration; trade in national currencies; an expanded role for new global financial institutions such as the NDB (the BRICS bank); and myriad platforms for sustainable development.

A Geopolitics of Sovereignty has to be structurally constructed: the iron and cement for the new system will come from a new interconnection of trade in national currencies, independent payment/settlement systems, and new investment platforms.

Geo-economically, BRICS is already on a roll. A quick glance of a map of Eurasia, and Afro-Eurasia, will suffice to convey the existing and emerging interconnection of connectivity, logistics and supply chain corridors. Across BRICS lands, those tie up energy sources, rare earth deposits, and a wealth of agricultural commodities.

To quote the Godfather of Soul James Bown, Papa’s got a brand new (BRICS) bag.

Hence it’s no wonder that a tawdry incarnation of the White Man’s Burden, the Circus Ringmaster, has unleashed Full War on BRICS and its partners – from threats to tariffs, complete with a previous death certificate (at the time he was even more clueless on what BRICS is all about).

The serial Trump Tariff Temper Tantrum (TTT) is of course another manifestation of Divide and Rule, trying to blow up BRICS from the inside. And now we’re up several notches, with a trademark childish letter threatening 50% tariffs on all Made in Brazil products exported to the U.S. – plus extra “sectoral” tariffs.

And yet this has nothing to do with trade. Over the past 15 years, the U.S. trade surplus with Brazil is over a hefty $400 billion. Some Trump 2.0 underling should have whispered that number into his boss’s ear.

But even if they did, that’s irrelevant. Because the latest gimmick actually constitutes a crass foreign interference in another nation’s domestic politics and upcomig presidential race, illegal and predictably once again making a mockery of international law.

The Circus Ringmaster started by hollering in his posts that the Lula government – and the independent Brazilian judicial system – had been involved in a witch hunt against his buddy, former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is being legally prosecuted under charges of staging a coup to overturn the results of the 2022 presidential election and prevent Lula from taking power.

It was up to not so smooth operator Steve Bannon to give the whole tawdry game away: if you ditch the prosecution of Bolsonaro, we ditch the 50% tariffs.

President Lula’s response has been measured, but firm: “Brazil’s trade with the U.S. makes up just 1.7% of our GDP. You can’t call these figures vital (…) We will look for other partners“.

Of course it will be very tough. A 50% tariff is like a deadly hurricane. Example: Brazil is the largest global exporter of orange juice. 95% of indigenous production is exported, nearly half to the U.S. It will take some time and lot of hard work to find “other partners”. The solution may lie across BRICS lands. In time, there should be plenty of candidates for top Brazilian exports such as oil, steel, iron, planes and parts, coffee, timber, meat and soy.

Unionizing every exporter in the world against U.S. importers

In parallel, the top two BRICS actors, China and Russia – both already under zillions of sanctions (Russia) and trade tariffs (China) – see the Trump TTT as a spectacular opportuniy ahead for undermining even faster the unilateral U.S. grip on trade and currency systems.

The war on BRICS has gone up to the next level, now that Russia, China, Iran and Brazil are all confirmed – illegitimate – targets. It’s up to this Sri Lanka viewpoint to delightfully summarize the stakes:

“Trump has effectively unionized every exporter in the world against American importers.” It comes down to a quite simple equation: “If you tariff one person, more power to you. But it you tariff everyone, more power to us.”

“More power to us” translates into BRICS and the wider Global South perfectly aware there’s no way out except full steam ahead for the BRICS project, culminating in full de-dollarization. From Kazan to Rio and beyond, it’s now also clear that out of control TTT will target any nation or partner that aligns with “anti-American” BRICS.

You want war? Bring it on.

The post Trump Terrified by BRICS Strategic Threat appeared first on LewRockwell.

The moral rot of unlimited debt looks “free” but it’s unaffordable in the end.

We like to think we’re special and this moment in history is special, but alas, we’re still running Wetware 1.0 which was coded between 300,000 and 60,000 years ago, when the last “out of Africa” migration finally got traction. Since then, the code has been tweaked a bit here and there (adults can now digest dairy products, etc.), but we’re running the old code, and so we make the same mistakes and follow the same emotional pathways as individuals and as groups.

Which leads us to our current predicament, which is not unique: we’re living on debt, “money” borrowed from the future, a future we’re assuming will be so over-supplied with energy and other goodies that we’ll be able to pay all the interest we’re piling up with ease.

All the charts below are shouting “parabolic,” as in crazy-unsustainable increases. There’s the federal debt, $36 trillion, up 4X from the 2008 spot of bother, there’s TCMDO, total public and private debt (McMansions, university degrees and SUVs all paid for with debt), student loans from zero to $1.5 trillion, Medicare and Medicaid, now 1/3 of the federal budget, and so on.

How did we get here? Let’s start with what’s not taught in Econ 101: primary surplus. Every economy–from households to empires, meaning this is scale-invariant–generates a surplus from its production of goods and services, or it runs a deficit, meaning it has to get more money from somewhere to support its consumption.

The question then becomes, how is the primary surplus being spent? (Or put another way, how is it being distributed across the economy and society?) There are only three options: 1) consume it, 2) invest it and 3) save it / hoard it.

Without making a conscious choice, the US has chosen to “invest” most of its primary surplus in moral rot, unproductive frauds, skims, scams, monopolies, cartels, regulatory capture, grift and graft.

This is the problem with giving an irresponsible teenager a no-limit Platinum credit card with an easily ignored admonishment to “stick to a tight budget, pay the balance off every month.” Uh, right.

Since the US can borrow unlimited trillions on its credit card, we can “afford” to burn our surplus on grift, graft, inefficiency, cronyism, profiteering, etc. Since our surplus was squandered on moral rot, we have to borrow trillions to pay for what the citizenry wants and what politicians must promise to get re-elected.

Wetware 1.0: we like windfalls and free stuff, and so every program becomes a “third rail” politically: touch it and you don’t get re-elected. But if you borrow a few “free” trillions a year, you get re-elected.

We love windfalls and free stuff and hate hard choices, but that’s all we have now. We have three choices in how we deal with our dependence on parabolic debt to sustain our profligate lifestyle:

1. Run the debt up to the point that nobody is dumb enough to lend us more, and then default on the debt / go bankrupt. All our creditors are wiped out.

The problem here is all debt is an asset to the wealthy entity that owns it as an income stream. Since the wealthy run the status quo in a manner that serves their interests, they’re unlikely to be thrilled with debt jubilees that zero out their assets and income or messy defaults that end up doing the same thing.

So nix that option. The wealthy want to keep their wealth and income streams, and since they own US Treasuries, they’re not going to approve defaulting on that debt.

2. Inflate the debt away with sustained high inflation. So we borrowed $1 when $1 bought a lot of stuff, and now we’ve inflated everything so it takes $10 to buy what $1 bought back then. Now we can pay back the $1 with a fraction of the earnings it took back when we borrowed it.

We’ve already taken that step–what once cost $1 now costs $10. So the next step is to do another 10X reduction in the debt via inflation.

In previous eras, authorities reduced the silver content of coinage to near-zero, effectively devaluing the money, i.e. inflating away the debt. What cost one mostly-silver denarius in the good old days soon cost 100 devalued denarius.

This looks like some pretty easy hocus-pocus to pull off, but there’s a catch: Catch-19, which is devaluing the money devalues trust in the leadership, social contract and the future, all of which leaves the economy and society a hollowed-out shell awaiting a stiff breeze to push the whole system off the cliff.

The problem here is inflation is distributed asymmetrically, along with the primary surplus. The wealthy, powerful elites skim off the surplus, and they’re equally adept at distributing the “inflation tax” to the middle and working classes, which soon meld into a single class, the impoverished.

A funny thing about Wetware 1.0 is we’re hard-wired to take note of rampant unfairness and eventually we respond in a destabilizing fashion, for example, uprisings, revolts, revolutions, etc.

3. The third option is to root out all the moral rot that’s consuming the economy’s surplus and our future, scrap all the programs designed in the bygone eras of 50+ years ago (defense, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, higher education, etc.) and start from scratch with new programs whose expenses are limited to what the economy generates as surplus.

In other words, go Cold Turkey on our addiction to living on debt.

At the recent annual meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) in Dallas, the attendees failed to pass a motion to prohibit member churches from having women pastors. The motion, which needed a two-thirds majority to pass, received 3,421 votes in favor and 2,191 votes against. However, other resolutions did pass that go beyond an intra-denominational issue.

A collective resolution passed that urged Christians to “celebrate and embrace marriage and childbearing”; called for the overturning of Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage throughout the country; and called for “the complete and permanent defunding of Planned Parenthood,” a leading provider of abortion.

Other resolutions passed that called on the United States Congress and state legislatures to “pass laws banning the manufacture, sale, and distribution of chemical abortion drugs, to enforce the Comstock Act prohibiting the mailing of abortion pills, and to hold accountable pharmaceutical companies and medical providers complicit in these harms” and to “enact comprehensive laws that ban the creation, publication, hosting, and distribution of pornographic content in all media and to provide rigorous enforcement mechanisms—including age-verification and civil liability—in the ultimate effort to eradicate pornography nationwide.”

Still another resolution passed “On the Harmful and Predatory Nature of Sports Betting.” In addition to condemning “sports betting in all its forms,” the resolution calls upon “corporations involved in this industry to cease their exploitative practices” and urges “our leaders at all levels of government to curtail sports betting and to address its disastrous effects through policy and legislation.”

Writing for the Daily Signal, Jacob Ogan, a student at Boyce College and the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, titles his commentary “Southern Baptists Get Sports Betting Right.”

Ogan believes that the SBC gambling resolution “is timely—and necessary” because sports betting “preys disproportionately on young men,” “poses threats not only to churches but to society at large,” “breaks up marriages and families, harming churches, and communities,” and “helps to fuel a dangerous addiction, leading to riskier bets and even greater losses over time.”

I don’t necessarily disagree with these points raised by Mr. Ogan. However, when he says that “it is the government’s role to step in and put an end to this predatory market,” I vehemently disagree, and believe that Southern Baptists get sports betting wrong. (For the record, I am an Independent Baptist.)

As a theological and cultural conservative who rejects the hypocrisy and nanny statism of political conservatism, I would agree with those who say that gambling on sports or at a casino table is an immoral, sinful, wasteful vice with terrible odds that can be addictive and financially ruinous. “The house always wins,” says Ogan, and I certainly agree with him. However, I think that most gamblers realize this and gamble for the thrill and entertainment of it, not because they think that they are going to strike it rich.

The real issue here is not gambling, but whose job it is to warn people about the dangers of gambling and discourage them from gambling.

The Southern Baptist Convention and Ogan believe that it is the role of government to do these things. I believe that it is family, friends, co-workers, mental health professionals, acquaintances, social workers, anti-gambling organizations, religious groups, churches, ministers, and organizations like the Southern Baptist Convention to warn people about the dangers of gambling and discourage them from gambling.

From a libertarian perspective, the issue of sports betting is a simple one. Although sports betting — whether online, at a casino, or in an office pool — may be addictive, financially ruinous, a waste of money, a bad habit, or a vice, it is not the job of government at any level to discourage anyone from betting, prevent anyone from betting, or punish anyone from betting.

In a free society, people have the freedom to do what they will with their own money, even if that means waste it, squander it, or gamble it away.

From a Christian perspective, the issue of sports betting is also a simple one. Although sports betting may be bad, immoral, sinful, evil, wicked, or wasteful, there is no warrant in the Bible for religious people to use the force of government to hinder, restrict, or prohibit people from betting.

Those with moral objections to sports betting or any other form of gambling have the right to try to persuade others not to bet or gamble. What they do not have the right to do is use the force of government to stop people from engaging in activities that they don’t like that do not involve aggressing against the personal or property rights of others.
