JFK Assassination: Why It Matters Today

Lew Rockwell Institute - Ven, 28/03/2025 - 05:01

International Man: Why does the assassination of JFK still matter today?

Doug Casey: Assassination has always been part and parcel of the political landscape since at least the days of the Egyptian pharaohs. Sometimes, assassinations can change the course of world history.

Two outstanding examples are that of Julius Caesar in 44 BC, which precipitated Rome’s change from a republic to an empire, and that of Archduke Ferdinand in 1914, which ignited World War I.

Assassins come in two main flavors. Sometimes, it’s simply an individual or group with an ideological difference of opinion, a grudge, or a wish to make a point. That was the case with Ferdinand. Sometimes however, the assassins want to grab the reins of power. That was the case with Caesar.

Which was it with JFK? Was Lee Harvey Oswald a solo actor? Or was he part of a greater conspiracy? I’m partial to the latter view. Even assuming that Oswald was even the assassin—which is unlikely.

International Man: In his first week in office, President Trump issued an Executive Order to release the remaining JFK files. After a lengthy delay, the government finally made the files public nearly two months later.

Tucker Carlson recently remarked: “There is active pressure on elected officials to stop this disclosure… now, in 2025. Who is powerful enough to intimidate people into delaying this release? What force is influencing the new administration to prevent the disclosure?”

What are your thoughts?

Doug Casey: The Deep State in general, and the CIA in particular, are powerful institutions with lots of money, force, and cultures that tend to close ranks when under attack. Their members are intensely loyal not just because, on the upside, the institution treats them well and fills their rice bowls, but can give them immense wealth and privileges. Betraying them is dangerous.

That’s why members of the praetorian agencies like the CIA and NSA are typically much more loyal to their employer and coworkers than the government or even the country itself. They’ll defend the institution that they’ve built their lives around.

There are dozens of armed entities within the US government. The most intimidating include the 17 comprising the so-called Intelligence Community, as it’s officially known. They resemble the Praetorian guards of the Roman Empire. It’s perversely amusing doublespeak that they’re referred to as a “community,” which sounds friendly and benign. Tulsi Gabbard is unlikely to have any success reining them in. It’s more likely that she’ll either be evicted or co-opted by them.

They have unit cohesion. They have armed forces. They have cultures of intense secrecy and large “black budgets.” They’re used to circulating in the halls of power, which puts them in a position to understand and, therefore—quite naturally—disrespect the people who are the country’s nominal rulers.

The front-facing politicos are dangerous enough. But the powers behind the throne are the real danger. Especially the CIA, because of its history and traditions and the fact that the things it does are largely kept secret by law. “National security,” you know…

There’s no question that a certain type of individual is drawn to an organization that specializes in black budgets, black activities, and doing things that nobody can know about. As they say, “I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you.”

Anybody who threatens a serious investigation—forget about abolition—of an organization like that is putting their life at serious risk.

Who’s powerful enough to intimidate people into delaying the release of the Kennedy documents for six decades? Anyway, I suspect the most important files have been burned.

The JFK assassination, as far as I’m concerned, was 100% a government operation.

International Man: Who do you believe was truly behind JFK’s assassination, and what were their motives?

Doug Casey: JFK said that he wanted to break the CIA into 1,000 different pieces. I think he found that almost impossible to do. And it would be harder, much harder, to do today than it was back then.

The CIA has its own large and extravagant campus at Langley, Virginia, where these people are actually in a world of their own. Their 25,000 employees are much better at self-promotion than gathering intelligence, having famously failed to predict the rise of Castro in Cuba, the triumph of the Mullahs in Iran, or the collapse of the Soviet Union. But they excel in getting writers and movie producers to apotheosize them.

In 1964, it could only have been the CIA. The NSA was newly hatched and just figuring out how to gather electronic information. It didn’t have the kind of tentacles it does today when it knows absolutely everything about everybody. Blackmail is much more effective than wet work.

I don’t think it would have been the FBI. Although the FBI was very powerful, it was strictly under the control of J Edgar Hoover. It wouldn’t have made sense for Hoover to risk everything with an assassination, considering the blackmail power that he had.

But who knows? You’ll recall the 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas at a public concert when 60 people were killed and over 400 wounded. The “investigation” results impressed me as totally phony, and the completely nonsensical story they fabricated was immediately swept under the rug. They should at least have called in the actors who played in the popular show, CSI Las Vegas.

The powers that be don’t seriously investigate crimes which might have political fallout. We still don’t know the full backstory on the two Trump assassination attempts just before the election. Move along folks, there’s nothing to see here.

Police and, especially, Federal intelligence agencies are in an ideal position to hide or quash their own crimes. Don’t expect the truth to come out, even with Kash Patel and Dan Bongino running the FBI. They’ve got to realize that they’re putting their lives on the line if they turn over too many rocks.

International Man: If a group of people can orchestrate the assassination of a sitting president in broad daylight and get away with it, what else might they be capable of, and what does this reveal about the true power structure?

Doug Casey: It used to be fairly easy to assassinate a president. The Lincoln (1865), Garfield (1881), and McKinley (1901) attempts succeeded. Various others (Teddy Roosevelt in 1912, FDR in 1933, Truman in 1950, Reagan in 1981, and Trump in 2024) could easily have succeeded.

But it’s gotten much harder over time. Whenever the president goes out in public, an entire area is locked down. His limousine is a thinly disguised tank, and Air Force One has every countermeasure known to man. The President and close associates are guarded more closely than a Roman emperor was. This is a sign of sickness in the State. Because most of the assassinations of emperors were perpetrated by Praetorians or other insiders. Trump should look within, not outside.

I’m speaking to you right now from Uruguay. Uruguayan presidents wander around in public, ride their motorcycles, and live in normal houses. They don’t have battalions of bodyguards.

There’s little danger of their being assassinated because not only is the country economically, ethnically, and politically stable, but the president doesn’t have enough power—symbolic or real—to make him worth shooting.

The way to look at an assassination, as I intimated a few moments ago, is to consider whether it is being done by outsiders or insiders.

An outsider generally just wants to create chaos; they don’t really care what happens afterward. Insiders, however, are interested in capturing the State and replacing the warm body with somebody in their own group.

With Kennedy, it was definitely a question of insiders trying to capture the State. I’d put my finger on his VP, Lyndon Johnson, and the CIA. Many volumes have been written about this, and we can’t recount them here. But that’s my conclusion.

International Man: The term “conspiracy theorist” was originally coined to discredit those who questioned the official narrative of the JFK assassination—that a “magic bullet” was responsible for the president’s death.

Today, “conspiracy theorist” and similar labels are still used to ridicule those who engage in independent and critical thinking.

What are your thoughts on this tactic, and what can be done to counter it?

Doug Casey: The CIA coined the phrase. It was clever to create that meme. They’re specialists in psychological warfare.

When you’re trying to upset or gain control of the apparatus of the State, discrediting the people currently in power is almost as good, or maybe better, than killing them. Bodies, or empty suits, can be easily replaced. Ideas linger.

Meme warfare, psychological warfare, is increasingly important in today’s world of mass media. In the past, we had thousands of newspapers with diverse opinions. There were groups of newspapers run by people like Pulitzer and Hearst, but today’s media is ubiquitous with radio, TV, movies, and print. The Internet, with its thousands of bloggers and podcasters, provides some countercurrents, of course. But news isn’t official unless it’s in the New York Times or on a major TV network.

Today, the media and the State have merged together as a practical matter. The people in power (the Deep State, if you will) know it’s critical that the public are all on the same page when it comes to major issues. The public can argue about whether chocolate or vanilla, or red or blue, is better. That makes them feel relevant. But big philosophical issues are off the table.

They dare not, for instance, question whether the Intelligence Community has their interests at heart. Or whether a Deep State exists. If they do, the plebs may start questioning all aspects of Authority and stop obeying instructions. If their psychology is changed, things can fall apart.

Physical force doesn’t keep an elephant tied to a tiny rope; it’s his psychology.

It’s important that the public think they know what’s happening and believe that what “we,” or the government, is doing is right. In other words, changing someone’s psychology and beliefs can be as effective as killing them physically. Killing someone’s credibility is critical to power mongers.

Physical bodies are basically replaceable like puppets, but killing the ideas they represent is more important. Assassinations are important, but there are more important things.

Information war is a major front of World War 3. It’s critical that all the details—no exceptions—of not only the JFK assassination but every other government mystery should be an open book.

Who are these people that think they have the right to decide what you do or don’t know?

Silence! We Will Build Our EU Wehrmacht, Like It or Not

Lew Rockwell Institute - Ven, 28/03/2025 - 05:01

Europe’s leadership has gone stark raving mad. We all watch in awe as the elusive Fourth Reich emerges from an otherwise peaceful confederation of states. Interestingly, few realize that the European Commission is advertising and spreading propaganda on social media to sell the most significant arms race in history.

War Bonds on LinkedIn

This morning, I was scanning the LinkedIn business network when I came across this post from the European Parliament (915,131 followers) selling the spanking new resolution to “act urgently” to protect the continent against the “most profound military threat to its territorial integrity since the end of the Cold War.” A direct quote from the post aimed at business people, lenders, and investors reads:

“The resolution comes ahead of the publication of plans setting out the future of European defence next week that should include, according to MEPs, ‘truly ground-breaking efforts’ and actions ‘close to those of wartime’ from EU countries.” 

Unfortunately for Führer Ursula von der Leyen (See Sergey Lavrov interview), comments on the post rage at more expenditures on invisible threats and the need to address the EU’s bigger problems. It seems that IT specialists from the Czech Republic, energy construction consultants in Spain, blockchain investors from Brussels, aerospace tech consultants in Italy, CEOs of capital research societies, and a laundry list of studious LI users chimed in, chastizing the inept at the EU Parliament. In short, the reception from business people to trillions more on war is just not there. Still, you can expect these imbecils in Brussels to start selling war bonds on LinkedIn soon.

“X” Marks the Spot

Turning to Elon Musk’s “X” platform, we find the same propaganda and sales pitch to almost a million followers. Comments there mirror those from LinkedIn, except “X” users are less diplomatic. One comment reads, “You, the EU parliament, are currently the biggest threat in Europe. Warmongers!” Another “X” users posted a mashup showing Ursula von der Leyen dressed in her Fuhrer uniform giving the Nazi salute.

If you care to share it, https://x.com/IzzyTaka/status/1900259596968632584

Ban the EU from Facebook*

Moving to Facebook*, the organization promoting the creation of goose-stepping EU warriors received similar remarks. The responses range from laughing emoticons to comments praying for peace and thoughtful leadership, FB users irate because the resolution is not the will of the people, and EU citizens aware that Russia has been made a convenient enemy for financial gain. You can read the comments, trace the profiles, and understand that only vested interests and the completely brainwashed give the new Nazi Reich the thumbs up.

With peace in full view, and with hundreds of thousands of lives about to be spared, the warmongers in the EU Parliament can think of nothing but borrowing more to invest in profit machines like the military-industrial monster that’s sapped humanity unto death already. One FB user equated Brussels with the tower of Babel, which I found exceedingly fitting. The gods of Brussels rising to usurp heaven and Earth with their lofty, liberal, immoral values. It’s a joke, of course. One Italian man said it best in his comment addressed to the European Parliament: “I am ashamed of you.”

So much for democracy, the will of the people, and the Eden the European Union promised a billion people. If these psychopaths keep it up, the penguins in Antarctica will be wealthier than the middle class on the European continent. If the people keep expressing themselves on social media in this way, expect the EU bosses to ban all social media and speaking in the streets.

Most Dangerous States in America by Crime Rate

Lew Rockwell Institute - Ven, 28/03/2025 - 05:01

Every state has its crime rate. In the United States, statistics indicate that more than 15 million crimes are committed every year, including property and other serious crimes.

However, even if a state reports lower crime rates, it doesn’t mean that it is free of danger entirely. These states may still have some areas where violence occurs frequently, or they may report a smaller number of violent crimes, but the victims are often locals, so outsiders don’t hear much about them. Here we will take you through the five most dangerous states in America by crime rate with their high chances of becoming victims of criminal activities or assault throughout the country. Read on for more information.

Tennessee

One of the most dangerous states in America, Tennessee is filled with violence and has a high crime rate. Because of the presence of gangs in Tennessee cities like Knoxville, Memphis, and parts of Nashville, many locals keep away from these places unless they have to be there. The safest city in this state is Murfreesboro; it has fewer crimes, much better infrastructure, and much more safety. However, it is still better to avoid this state unless you have to go there.

Criminal activities in Tennessee include assault, murder, and rape, which are the most common violent crimes committed in this part of North America. Assaults can happen just about anywhere in Knoxville or Memphis when you least expect them to happen. Therefore, you should be extra careful while visiting these cities.

Crime Statistics in Tennessee

  • Rapes in Tennessee are about 200 every year.
  • Murder is not very common in this state, but assaults happen daily. The chances of becoming a victim of assault are almost 100%.
  • Theft crimes are more than 4,500 per year.
  • Tennessee has one of the highest crime rates in America, with 37,000 violent crimes committed there in 2019.

Nevada

Another dangerous state in America, Nevada, is known for its gambling and entertainment industry; however, the local population doesn’t tell you about this place because it has a high rate of crimes than any other part of the country. Being home to some of the largest casinos in North America, Las Vegas has the highest crime rate of every city in this state.

One of the most dangerous cities in the U.S.A., Las Vegas is home to organized criminals and other con artists who make their living by cheating innocent visitors; therefore, one should be extra careful while visiting this area.

Assaults and robberies are the most common crimes committed in this state; it is advised that one should avoid visiting or driving through these cities unless they have to be there.

Texas

Once known as a safe place for travelers across America, Texas has now turned into a home to many criminal gangs who operate throughout the country. One of the most dangerous states in America, Texas has a high crime rate in Austin and Houston, and all over the state.

With the presence of criminal gangs like crips and MS-13 operating all across Texas cities, including Dallas, Fort Worth, and San Antonio, visitors are warned to watch out for their belongings while visiting these places; also, it is safer to avoid visiting these cities unless you have to be there.

Crime Statistics in Texas

Many crimes in Texas go unreported as the cops or local police stations fail to record them. Here are some of the statistics:

  • Assaults and robberies happen every day, but the police record only about 20% of these crimes and, therefore, never reach national crime stats.
  • Murder is not very common in this state, but it happens every year; around 50-100 murders occur each year, leading to an increase in the crime rate.
  • Crime rates in Texas, with most violent crimes happening rapidly throughout this state, the chances of becoming a victim of theft, robbery, or any other violent crime is very high!

Missouri 

According to- www.safehome.org: While violent crimes like murder, aggravated assault, rape, and robbery are much less common in Missouri (and everywhere else) than property crimes, Missouri does have some of the nation’s highest rates of such incidents.

  • Missouri’s overall violent crime rate is 488 per 100,000 residents, which is 28 percent higher than the national violent crime rate of 381 per 100,000.
  • Missouri ranks ninth among all the states for violent crimes and has the highest violent crime rate in the Midwest.
  • In addition to having the region’s highest overall crime rate, Missouri also ranks first in the Midwest for murder — a rate that puts it in sixth place nationally.

Artificial Intelligence Is Bringing Us the Communism That Marx, Engels, Lenin, Mao, and Pol Pot Were Unable To Deliver

Lew Rockwell Institute - Ven, 28/03/2025 - 05:01

The Digital Revolution Equals Communism

Finally, equality has arrived.

Watch on Rumble.

Artificial intelligence greatly empowers scammers and malevolent uses of the Internet.  Malwarebytes provides updates on the latest threats.  See here, here, and here.

The digital revolution and artificial intelligence are not only the greatest possible threat to our privacy and financial security, but also to our values, because the digital revolution makes possible Communism, our likely future.  Humans, like the Borg  in Star Trek, will no longer be individuals capable of thought.  They will be part of a collective with a collective mind imposed by official narratives, with all unofficial narratives censored as misinformation. 

Already in American universities and public schools students are being taught that compliance with official narratives is rewarded and that intelligence is the ability to remember and repeat. Even this is being bypassed, because students no longer know a subject or how to use language to write a theme.  AI does it for them, so of what does modern education consist?  It consists of knowing how to use AI to solve math and physics problems and write your history and English papers.  You don’t need to know math, physics, history, or how to use the language. Never learning these skills, education produces uneducated citizens.

These are precisely the people who will be made useless by AI. AI has a massive advantage over researchers and memory and repeat. Doctors, lawyers, engineers, architects will be needed only in small numbers to type into the computers the medical symptoms, legal precedents, architectural parameters for the building, and the parameters of the engineering problem.  AI’s ability to recognize patterns and to rapidly search data bases eliminates most purposes of the upper professional classes.

The process of technology separating students from learning skills perhaps began with handheld calculators, which resulted in children ceasing to learn the multiplication tables.  With the advent of computer keyboards, students ceased to learn to write cursive.

As AI replaces human skills, it also destroys human jobs. What people, especially free market libertarian economists, have not understood is that unlike earlier technological advances, AI eliminates the need of humans to do jobs. AI is a step beyond offshoring. Offshoring eliminated Americans jobs by giving the jobs to China, other parts of Asia and Mexico.  But still humans did the jobs. Human performance was not eliminated, just a change in location of performance.

In earlier times when technology destroyed household jobs (as in the “putting out system,” see Appendix at the end) and relocated them in factories, the technological advance did not eliminate the need for humans to do the jobs.  The factory system just collected the jobs under one roof.

AI is a totally different form of technology.  It eliminates the need for people. So what does humanity do? The absence of purpose is why Bill Gates and the World Economic Forum want to reduce the world population.

In an earlier article, I said that a colleague and I would present a case that AI would liberate mankind by taking over undesirable and dreary  jobs.  My colleague sincerely believes this, but I do not. 

I think that AI disconnects people from one another and from themselves.  I regard it as not merely inconvenience but as the epitome of evil.

Nevertheless, I will try to keep my commitment to present a possible positive portrait of the digital revolution. This is the first task in my life in which I have no confidence.  If readers would like to contribute to forming a positive portrait of AI, I am pleased to hear from them.  There are positive aspects.  For example, people can work from home and participate in face-to-face meetings and conferences without travel.  But even the positive aspects have costs.  Working from home is isolating, as is the absence of travel which reduces experiences.  Is life in a virtual world really life?

Appendix:

The putting-out system

Certain industries that were small at the outset of the Middle Ages grew to be quite large in scale, and this growth influenced changes in the organization of work. The most important of these was the wool-cloth industry.

For reasons of cost and availability, wool was the basic clothing material in western Europe until the beginning of modern times (19th century US cotton plantations in the South altered the composition of clothing). Linen and silk were too costly for any large-scale use, and cotton was grown only in small volumes. The production of cloth from wool involved several time-consuming steps: cleaning and carding (straightening curled and knotted fibers sheared from the sheep), spinning the fibers into thread, weaving the thread into cloth, shearing off knots and roughness, and dyeing. All these processes could be carried on within a single peasant household, for they required only simple apparatus and rudimentary skills. Typically, children carded the wool, women operated the spinning wheel, and men worked the loom shuttles.

The cloth produced by such crude tools and relatively unskilled workers was rough but serviceable. Those above the peasant class, however, desired the more comfortable and attractive clothing that was produced by skilled craftsmen. The resulting demand for better textiles caused the industry to outgrow the peasant household means of production.

A new organization of work, called the “putting-out system,” was instituted in which a merchant clothier bought raw wool, “put it out” to be carded, spun, and woven into cloth, and then carried the cloth through the finishing processes with the help of skilled craftsmen. Because the spinners and weavers remained peasants, they also earned part of their living from the plots on which their cottages stood, meaning that agriculture and industry were pursued as something of an integrated enterprise. The man could work in the field while his wife spun, and in winter the man helped with textile production. At harvest time every hand was out in the fields, leaving the spinning wheels and looms temporarily idle.

The putting-out system differed from peasant household production in that the merchant clothier, or entrepreneur, bought the raw wool and owned the product through all stages of its preparation (the cottage workers still owned their own spinning wheels, looms, and other tools). Thus, the peasant farmer came to work on materials that did not belong to him. On the other hand, the work was performed at home (known as the cottage system or domestic system) rather than in a factory, and work proceeded at the worker’s pace. The merchant simply organized the work by arranging the order and sequence of the various technical processes—he did not supervise the workers’ actual performance. Nevertheless, the merchant clothier who began putting out cloth came to control the entire production process. This represented a step toward the industrial capitalism that emerged in the 19th century.

Industrial capitalism resulted from the Enclosures. Prior to the Enclosures, land was not owned in the sense that it is today. Lords and serfs had use rights in the land.  No one owned it. Lords had use rights in serfs’ labor, because the original deal establishing the feudal system was that free people became serfs in exchange for protection from marauding predator Vikings, Saracens, Huns.

The Crusades brought home to Europe and England that there were delightful consumption goods unavailable in the West. The realization arose that if the manor could be organized for the production of cash crops, instead of kept as an instrument of self-sufficiency, money would be available for trade.  This realization required the demise of an economy in which use rights determined property rights and as the land was not owned the land could not be sold.  

The transformation–the Enclosures–achieved according to Karl Marx “by fire and sword,” created private ownership in land and a labor market.  Serfs were no longer subject to the government of their time owning part of their labor.  Serfs emerged as free men who owned their own labor (there was no income tax) and sold it in labor markets.  Thus did the Enclosures create a labor market and the private ownership of property.

Baseball Springs Eternal

Lew Rockwell Institute - Ven, 28/03/2025 - 05:01

It’s Opening Day for Major League Baseball, one of my favorite days of the year. Baseball fans around the country, no matter their favorite team—from the lowly Athletics to the mighty Dodgers—today are optimistic about their team’s chances. In spite of football’s greater popularity these days, baseball remains America’s pastime, and more importantly, baseball is the sport that best teaches the lessons of life. I’d even go so far as to say it is a quintessentially Catholic sport.

The beauty and uniqueness of baseball has been recognized by many writers over the years. Why is baseball the most poetic of all sports? There’s something of the infinite in baseball that speaks to our own final destination. Unlike most sports, baseball has no game clock (yes, baseball now has a pitch clock, but that simply moves the game along and does not determine when a game ends.) Even down by 10 runs in the bottom of the ninth, your team still has a chance, albeit small, of winning—the opposing team can’t simply run out the clock.

That lack of a game clock is seen as a negative in today’s attention-deficit culture. We’re used to scrolling through 30-second sports highlights on our smartphones—not sitting through a leisurely 3-4 hour game. Yet baseball reminds us of our true ultimate destination, our ultimate goal. We are made to rest in peaceful bliss for all eternity, and for the baseball fan, being at the ballpark on a Sunday afternoon can seem like a little slice of heaven.

Baseball also has, in a certain sense, an infinite field. Yes, ballfields have fences to designate home runs, but one of the great joys in baseball is watching a powerful hitter blast a ball far over that fence, seemingly into eternity. When and where will it land? The only limit is physics. Those seconds when we’re waiting for the ball to land in the stands are a momentary blissful pause in the hecticness of life.

When I was young, most youth baseball fields did not have fences, which made the unlimited nature of a field more apparent. One year my older brother was playing right field in a game against Ken Griffey, Jr. The future hall-of-famer came up to bat and launched one far over my brother’s head. Since there was no fence, he had to spin around and chase the ball down. By the time he finally picked up the ball and turned to throw it in, Griffey had already circled the bases and stood celebrating at home plate with his teammates. My brother was fully aware at that moment of the infinite nature of baseball fields.

My son and several of my daughters also played youth baseball and softball. While youth sports have gotten out of control today, we were fortunate to be in leagues that were respectful of family life (no games on Sundays, for example). As a parent, I found that playing baseball was a school of virtue for my children.

One of the sport’s most distinct features is the frequency of failure: even the best hitters in the world fail to record a hit almost 7 out of every 10 times at the plate. Especially in our era of helicopter parents and snowflake children, teaching kids how to fail is one of life’s most important lessons. Whenever we fail, we must learn to get back up, whether that’s after striking out with the bases loaded or after succumbing to a persistent sin. The failure rate of baseball teaches young people persistence and, most importantly, humility—two virtues essential for the spiritual life.

Even among families that participate in youth sports, many are wary of professional sports, and there’s good reason to be. While sports are healthy endeavors, our culture’s overemphasis on them is decidedly unhealthy—our sports stars quickly become idols. Making matters worse, many sports leagues have gone woke in recent years. Gambling has become more and more entwined with professional sports leagues. And of course many players aren’t exactly Catholic role models.

WEF Davos 2025 – More Grotesque Than Ever. Robotizing and Depopulating

Lew Rockwell Institute - Ven, 28/03/2025 - 05:01

The usual World Economic Forum (WEF) show that captures and dominates all of Davos for a week starts on Monday, 20 January and lasts until Friday, 24 January. It is an ever-increasing nuisance for the population of Davos, an otherwise lovely winter resort place, converted every year into a high-end bordello – for the little carnal pleasures of the rich and famous attending the WEF glamour show.

This year, the elite participants are to be protected and defended from illusionary terror attacks by nothing less than Swiss Army fighter jets. BRAVO!

The 2025 Davos Forum will run under the theme of ‘Collaboration for the Intelligent Age’, which will encompass five “distinct but highly interconnected thematic priorities”, the WEF says on its website.

  • Rebuilding trust
  • Reimagining growth
  • Investing in people
  • Safeguarding the planet, and
  • Industries in the intelligent age

All of that could easily be summarized in how to robotize humanity – except, of course, the crème of the crop. The elite, those who attend this fiasco show, have nothing to worry. They will remain untouched from the dehumanization process. Unless of course, they fall out of line and favors with their erstwhile Masters. Then their punishment may be severe.

Primarily, it is the plebs they want to reduce, control, and enslave – those that survive this entire dehumanization process.

Reducing means continuing promoting the climate change hoax that kills agriculture, causes famine, diseases, and death; and simultaneously, inventing viruses that require kill-shot vaxxes and death.

Add to this the fully biometric control with digital ID’s and digital vaxx certificates.

This is all shoved under the roof of the sacrosanct United Nations (UN), which during the last few decades has become utterly corrupt and sold to the dark monsters, alias, Deep State, also called the Men in Black with Red Ties.

They would delegate to Mr. Tedros, Director-General of the WHO, powers to decide over health, disease, and death of the 193 UN member nations.

Let us repeat this point: depopulating, robotizing, enslaving and digitally controlling the survivors, is confining the populus into a Digital Gulag.

Do not be fooled, ‘Collaboration for the Intelligent Age’ is code lingo for Digital Gulag.

They will never achieve it.

We, the People, MUST act and be part of this non-violent but active resistance: ignoring what they are doing, shedding fear from our minds and souls, no hatred, be self-assured, as our mind is the most powerful asset each one of us has. Imagine the collective power of eight billion people!

Maybe that is why security is the WEF’s biggest concern this year. More than ever, so-called “terror attacks” is what they fear most, even false flags would do to keep the lies flying.

In an interview a couple of days ago, the Davos police chief answered a journalist’s question why this year the Swiss Army even put fighter jets at disposal of the WEF’s protection. The Police officer said something to the effect, that this year the security system had to be enhanced because of increased terror threats and for the protection of prominent personalities. He mentioned some hundred heads of states attending [not much different from other years].

The doubling-up question:

Is it because this year President Trump will be attending?

The paraphrased answer was:

This could be a consideration, but at this point we believe President Trump will only attend virtually, by video stream. But we do not know for sure.

Mr. Trump may decide, last-minute, to be here in person, as he was already in 2018, during his first term.

Among the key personalities who need protection of this year’s WEF’s Davos show are

  • US President Trump;
  • Madame von der Leyen, unelected President of the EU Commission;
  • China’s Vice-Premier, Ding Xuexiang;
  • German Chancellor Olaf Scholz;
  • Argentina’s President Javier Milei;
  • Antonio Guterres, UN Secretary General;
  • Bangladesh government Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus;
  • Palestinian National Authority Prime Minister Mohammed Mustafa; and
  • Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Imagine the Swiss tax-payer funding the protection of corrupt Zelenskyy, as they did already for his in-person appearance at the disaster “Peace [war] Conference” in mid-June 2024 on the Buergenstock, where he was allowed to call the shots, resulting in nobody from Russia being invited.

One just wonders – where have Swiss ethics and sovereignty from ancient times gone?

And not to forget, like every year, the big defenders of Mother Earth’s climate and environment, those that openly decry the use of hydrocarbons due to CO2 emission, fly into Switzerland from around the globe with hundreds of private jets, leaving thousands of tons of CO2 in the air and clogging the airports of Zurich, Geneva, and Basle. Many of them continue their environmentally unfriendly journey to Davos by helicopter shuttle services.

In summary up to 5,000 army soldiers will be deployed plus hundreds of police from all over Switzerland, and the ever-present surveillance helicopters. This is a public statement about the security stronghold Davos has become for the 2025 WEF Conference:

“The military personnel are responsible, among other things, for maintaining air sovereignty. To this end, armed fighter jets are on permanent patrol. Ground-based air defense also helps to keep the airspace safe. In addition, an extensive radar system is used. These tasks are carried out in close cooperation with partners in Austria and Italy.”

There will be a no-fly zone:

“The airspace above Davos will be restricted to a radius of around 46 kilometers on Friday, January 17 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and from Monday, January 20, 8 a.m. to Saturday, January 25, 5 p.m. The same applies to drones.”

For more details on the WEF’s Davos 2025 event, see this.

Thinking outside the conventional box – isn’t it ironic to observe the efforts made in terms of costs and physical defense to protect an event organized by a Swiss tax-free super rich NGO, arguably the richest in the world, with diplomatic immunity, catering to the super rich and powerful, who will be talking about how to dehumanize, robotize, digitize the common people of the world’s 193 nations, to better control and enslave them?

Even in Switzerland, poverty is rapidly increasing, though talking about it is taboo. Yet, the Swiss Government is debating about how to finance the proposed Swiss State pension increase by 8.33% – equivalent to an average monthly maximum of about CHF 200 (about US$ 210).

Swiss people, by allowing their government hosting these WEF events, are nothing short of financing their own demise.

Expanding this question and analysis to a worldwide scale, to the UN, you may ask, why do people around the globe allow the UN deciding their fate?

In June 2019, curiously just a few months before the onset of the covid plandemic, the UN and the WEF signed an illegal cooperation agreement, sustaining the common objectives expressed in the WEF’s Great Reset and the UN Agenda 2030. The UN, created after WWII (October 24, 1945, in San Francisco, with then 51 founding member states), was supposed to be the world body, remaining neutral, to guarantee and protect the world from WW-type aggressions.

Today, the UN has long ceased being neutral, but has been bought by western interests which fund it and politically manipulate it, according to their imperial ambitions.

Therefore, the ONE call for a People’s New World Order, is Exit the UN system. Organizations like the WEF would automatically fall by the wayside.

For the immediate future and as to the WEF-Davos debates, outcomes, conclusions, and certainly inhumane visions for the future of mankind – stay tuned and prepared.

We Are All Amalekites

Lew Rockwell Institute - Ven, 28/03/2025 - 05:01

Israeli leaders constantly refer to the Palestinian people as being “Amalekites.” But their Jewish supremacy goes even further than that. Benjamin Netanyahu and his fellow Zionists constantly refer to the Palestinian people (the “Amalekites”) as “animals” and “subhuman” that can be mercilessly tortured and killed with moral and civil impunity.

The Amalekites during the days of Moses were the descendants of Esau, the son of Isaac and brother of Jacob—so they were biologically the nephews and nieces of Jacob (renamed “Israel” by Jehovah). The point being, the Old Testament Scriptures make it clear that the Amalekites were people (human beings)—even kinsmen of the Israelites.

The God of Abraham and Moses never regarded the Amalekites as anything other than people—wicked people, but people nonetheless. In fact, God dealt with the Amalekites with great longsuffering and grace, waiting over 400 years before bringing divine judgment upon them, thus giving the people of Amalek time to turn from their wickedness and find mercy and forgiveness with God. Why? Because God loves mankind, as we are all made in His image, conceived with an immortal soul. God gave His only begotten Son to die for the sins of mankind—clearly meaning that all mankind possesses an eternal soul.

The greatest-of-all Bible commentators, Matthew Henry (1662 – 1714), wrote in his commentaries regarding the Old Covenant wars of Israel:

In dealing with the worst of enemies, the laws of justice and honour must be observed.

“The laws of justice and honour [the Laws of Nature] must be observed” because even one’s enemy is a human being made in God’s image and, therefore, is a candidate for God’s mercy and redemption.

I invite readers to watch my first message in my series of messages entitled By What Authority Does Zionist Israel Commit Mass Murder Against Women And Children? A Clinical Study Of The Destruction Of The Amalekites And The Old Covenant Laws Of War.

Watch it here.

But the philosophy of the Donald Trump administration is that anyone can be designated as a Palestinian, meaning an Amalekite, undeserving of Natural or constitutional rights.

“He’s not Jewish anymore. He’s a Palestinian.”

With these wordsUS President Donald Trump did not merely insult Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer – he exposed something far more insidious. In Trump’s world, Palestinian is not just a nationality. It is an accusation, a sentence of exile, a mark of delegitimisation.

Schumer’s crime was questioning Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s increasingly authoritarian government. Schumer, a staunch Zionist who has long positioned himself as one of Israel’s most unwavering defenders, dared to suggest that Netanyahu’s extremism was harming Israel’s future.

That alone was enough for Trump to strip him of his Jewishness, to brand him as something else – something meant to be demeaning.

This is not the first time Trump has wielded the word “Palestinian” as a slur. He has used it against former President Joe Biden, against Schumer previously, and indeed against anyone who dares to question Israel’s policies.

A Palestinian can be arrested for protesting, fired for speaking, or blacklisted for dissenting. And now, anyone can be treated as one.

This is the real warning in Trump’s attack. You don’t have to be Palestinian to be punished like one. You don’t have to be Arab or Muslim. You only have to step out of line.

Even Jewishness is no longer protection. Your identity has become conditional, your history disposable. You can be declared a traitor, an enemy within, someone who has forfeited their place.

The moment you question Israel, you become Palestinian – not by birth, but by decree. Because in this world, a Palestinian has no rights, nor does anyone who defends them.

Donald Trump is ushering in a new brand of authoritarianism, one marked by a single accusation—an accusation that is so broad it can be interpreted anyway the Trump Reich pleases: the accusation of antisemitism.

Listen to Trump’s uber-Zionist Attorney General Pam Bondi:

US attorney general labels pro-Palestine protesters ‘domestic terrorists.’

US Attorney General Pam Bondi has described pro-Palestinian student protesters as “domestic terrorists,” warning that universities could lose federal funding if they fail to address anti-Semitism on campus.

In February, the US Justice Department formed a multi-agency task force focused on combating anti-Semitism, with its top priority targeting harassment in schools and universities. Officials said the group would coordinate federal enforcement and “root out” anti-Semitic behavior on campuses nationwide.

Protesters, including Jewish students, argue that criticism of Israeli policy does not constitute anti-Semitism. They say advocacy for Palestinian rights aligns with core American values.

(Source)

One would think that an attorney would have at least a rudimentary understanding of the First Amendment in our Bill of Rights:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

That’s pretty clear to me. The government cannot abridge the people’s right to the freedom of speech—even speech it doesn’t like—or the freedom to peaceably assemble (protest) and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Folks, let’s understand what is at stake here. If we are not free to speak, we are not free!

Candace Owens nailed it in this video clip:

We just don’t see Muslims as human life. And to me, to speak about Gaza and talking about casinos and hotels, and these people just lost their entire families. It’s so far removed from humanity. And I have been very disappointed with Trump on his perspectives about Gaza. I think it’s wrong. And I’m tired of America being used as Israel’s piggy bank.

For whatever reason, everyone can critique every other country for taking money from us, and then everyone’s blind when it comes to Israel.

To see those Palestinian children. And the images are seared into my brain. The screaming, the crying, the bleeding, the stuff that we saw on X for the first time, and really realizing how much we had been lied to about what was happening in that region. It was very easy for me to [speak out]. I have to be on the human side of things.

As far as I know, Candace does not have a law degree, but she obviously has more understanding of the First Amendment than Trump’s attorney general.

By the way, Trump and Bondi are in the process of implementing a national Red Flag gun confiscation law. Obviously, neither of them understand the Second Amendment either.

And Trump and Bondi are deadly serious about expunging pro-Palestinian speech:

President Trump’s demand on Tuesday to ban masks at “illegal” anti-Israel protests came just one day after Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt issued the same demand at the ADL’s “Never is Now” conference.

(Source)

Of course, banning masks at protests allows government surveillance to identify individual protesters so that they might be prosecuted afterward. That protesters feel compelled to wear masks shows that right now America cannot be truly defined as a free country.

Trump calls anti-Israel protests “illegal.” But the First Amendment says they are not only “legal” but they are “protected.”

It is painfully obvious that Trump doesn’t care about the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, freedom or the rule of law. Everything about Donald Trump exudes authoritarianism.

As long as I’m living in a world composed of morally and spiritually fallen men, I no more desire to be under right-wing authoritarianism than I do left-wing authoritarianism, theocratic authoritarianism or secular authoritarianism. In this world, authoritarianism of any kind is the enemy of Liberty.

On April 18, 1775, in defiance of the soldiers of the British Crown, John Adams shouted, “We recognize no sovereign but God, and no king but Jesus!” This became the rallying cry and motto of our War for Independence.

And speaking of our War for Independence, is Trump really planning to bring America back under the British Commonwealth? Did Trump learn anything about the Battle of Lexington, Patrick Henry’s “Give me liberty or give me death” speech or the Declaration of Independence? If he did, you sure can’t tell it.

Trump says he “loves” King Charles. That’s no doubt because Trump loves the power of monarchy. And, as I have written here and here, Trump and Elon Musk are working arduously to bring America under the rule of a techno-monarchy. It is no coincidence that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Canada’s current Prime Minister Mark Carney were both members of the globalist/technocratic Trilateral Commission.

Read this very important article relevant to Trump’s possible decision to bring the U.S. under the British Commonwealth. This is all part of the Trump/Musk/Thiel plan to bring about global technocratic rule, which I have already written about.

Trump also must love the British attack on free speech.

Trump needs to read this report:

I am a Holocaust survivor. UK police interviewed me for protesting genocide

It’s vital for all of us in Britain to speak out now against our own government’s complicity in Israel’s genocide.

I was seven years old when Germany invaded and occupied their unreliable ally, Hungary, in March 1944. This makes me 87 years old now. But my memories of hiding as a hunted Jew on false papers, and the utter devastation of the climactic fighting around us, between a trapped German Army and the Red Army, are still a crystal clear memory. I see the burnt-out cars, tanks, dead horses and human bodies, ammunition and helmets thrown about, burnt-out buildings, mountains of rubble and broken glass everywhere – just like tragically destroyed Gaza is looking today.

For over a year now it’s been clear that Israel’s plan is to destroy Palestinian society in Gaza in order to force as many people as possible to leave. This policy has many differences from Nazi Germany’s plan to destroy Jewish society in Europe – but it also has many similarities. That is why, as a Holocaust survivor, I’ve felt compelled to join various pro-Palestine protests in London.

We don’t know quite how far those in power intend to go with their restrictions on the right to protest. But we do know they want to portray London’s pro-Palestine demos as tainted with anti-Semitism. This is despite the fact that these protests have included thousands of Jews and that many Jews, including myself, have addressed the protesters from the stage.

Most importantly, this whole campaign is an intentional distraction from the main issue, which is to stop the Gaza genocide now. As Israel resumes its indiscriminate bombing – murdering hundreds more civilians in Gaza – it’s vital for all of us in Britain to speak out now against our own government’s complicity in Israel’s genocide.

Every time we hear a politician talk about Israel, they call it “America’s greatest friend and ally.” Really? What is their definition of friendship? Name one thing Israel has done FOR America. All Israel does is bleed America financially, morally, spiritually, culturally and politically—and drag America into its perpetual wars of aggression, which have ZERO national interests for the United States.

When President Donald Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi call the people of America “Palestinians” and “domestic terrorists,” they are regurgitating the Jewish supremacist/racist mantra of Benjamin Netanyahu and his fellow Zionists.

Don’t believe me? Listen to what this very influential Jewish rabbi recently said:

It really doesn’t matter if Donald Trump or Donald Duck wins the US elections. It really doesn’t matter if Kamala Harris or Kermit the Frog wins.

When it comes to international affairs, anything that impinges on the future of this world, Donald Trump, Kamala Harris have no freedom of choice. They become like puppets. And who pulls the strings of those puppets? We do. The Jewish people.

In other words, we are all Amalekites.

Higher Taxes, More Political Repression, no Solutions

Lew Rockwell Institute - Ven, 28/03/2025 - 05:01

The Federal Republic has boarded an express train to Green socialist purgatory. There is no other way to describe what is happening here.

First, we had the shocking debt brake overhaul, via which the CDU and the SPD signaled their bizarre wish to reprise the hated politics of the traffic light, only in more extreme form. Among other things, this overhaul involved amending the constitution to include the goal of “climate neutrality” by 2045. Leading Greens are now hoping this amendment will open the way for litigious environmentalists to compel the further deindustrialisation of Germany over the coming two decades.

Then, as if to confirm the ongoing DDRification of the Federal Republic, the alleged Stasi collaborator and former leader of the Socialist Unity Party, Gregor Grysi, delivered the inaugural address to the twenty-first Bundestag.

Now the preliminary results of the coalition negotiations between the CDU, the Bavarian CSU and the Social Democrats are making their way into the press, and they are really a thing to behold.

In the run-up to the elections, all kinds of people told me that the CDU would take charge and we’d see a correction to the right. The worst abuses of the traffic light would be put to bed, Green politics would go on the back burner and the government would begin to emphasise economic policy and migration restriction. It wouldn’t be totally satisfying, these people told me, but things would get better.

It is now safe to say that these people were retards and that they were totally and laughably wrong. What awaits us is not a political correction but rather the traffic light on speed. We are going to get an absolute witch’s brew of tax hikes, deficit spending, industrial subsidies and political repression. If even half of these plans are realised, the coming government is going to make its predecessor look like a beacon of liberal freedom and fiscal responsibility. Here I can only provide a selection of all the proposals, as every five minutes a journalist stumbles upon another steaming turd.

To begin with, the various negotiating subcommittees are already aspiring to spend half a trillion Euros – the total value of the “special infrastructure fund” established by the debt brake overhaul last week. The grave political differences between the CDU and the SPD are to be papered over with vast quantities of money. It makes sense, then, that the SPD should be gearing up to push very hard to raise taxes on “the rich” – a group of people that in Social Democracy Land includes a great part of the middle class. The SPD want to raise the top tax rate from 42% to 47% and the capital gains tax from 25% to 30%. They want to introduce a confiscatory wealth tax and they want to broaden real-estate taxes. The Union parties will probably have to give in on a great part of this programme, because, while German politics have shifted right, it is the left that is in charge.

Both the SPD and the CDU have agreed that “we must invest more in defensive democracy,” and therefore they plan to continue funneling nearly 200 million Euros into the jungle of NGOs presently perverting German civic discourse. Among other things, the CDU and the SPD hope to steer some of these funds into the National Action Plan Against Racism, specifically to “fight against structural and institutional racism” – concepts adopted from the increasingly defunct Anglosphere discourse surrounding Critical Race Theory.

As always, the SPD have even more insane plans. They want to use state funds to promote “trustworthy media,” which is their term for politically aligned broadcasters and print publications. Germany already has one of the elaborate and expensive public media systems in the world, but that is not enough for the Social Democrats, who hope to use state funds to co-opt private media as well. There are constitutional hurdles to the SPD vision on this front, and the CDU have so far opposed their aspirations, but given the Social Democrat dominance of negotiations this could well end up on the agenda of the coming government.

Meanwhile, both parties have agreed that “The deliberate dissemination of false factual claims is not covered by freedom of expression,” and they hope to expand the prerogatives of media supervisory authorities so that these may “take action against information manipulation as well as hate and incitement.” They also want to increase regulatory scrutiny of “online platforms” and ensure that the Digital Services Act is “stringently implemented and further developed.”

Perhaps worst of all, the future coalition partners have agreed on a nefarious plan to deprive anyone with more than one conviction for the speech crime of “incitement” (“Volksverhetzung”) of the right to stand for election to public office. The German criminal statute on incitement has been widely abused in the present wave of political repression, and state prosecutors will surely use this new mechanism to criminalise the opposition by systematically bringing incitement prosecutions against AfD politicians.

In summary: We are going to get more heavy-handed interventions in the economy, the state is going to take more of our money and government enforcers are going redouble their efforts to prevent us from complaining about any of this.

What is happening ought to have been foreseeable. I didn’t quite foresee it, but I should have. The firewall against Alternative für Deutschland is confusing the feedback received by the German political establishment. The more the voting public demands a correction to the right, the more our politicians will double-down on crazy leftist policies. This cycle will continue until something breaks.

The mechanism is twofold:

1) As right-leaning voters and party members take their support elsewhere, the traditional parties find themselves sitting on smaller but more left-leaning constituencies. This phenomenon applies primarily to the CDU and the Bavarian CSU, but secondarily also to the SPD.

2) Ordinarily, we would expect these parties to chase after departing supporters, but in Germany the firewall skews incentives in a bizarre way. As the political mood moves rightwards and voters take their support to the wrong side of the firewall, they disappear from the arena of political acceptability. The remaining feedback available to the establishment actually points left. The resulting insanity then further increases voter defections to AfD, and establishment politics dive further leftwards.

Since 2017, when the AfD first entered the Bundestag, the strict terms of the firewall have created two parallel legislative entities. Back then, AfD won 94 of 709 seats, but the firewall prohibited any of the cartel parties from voting with the newcomers. Thus you could say that the formal parliament alone had 709 seats; the de facto “cartel parliament” – the formal parliament minus the AfD contingent – was smaller, having a mere 615 seats. Of course, the cartel parties could not ignore the formal parliament entirely. To pass laws, they still required a formal majority of 355 votes, which translates to a cartel supermajority of 58% of the seats. This was not a problem for Angela Merkel, who formed a government with the SPD in a typical “grand coalition” that commanded about 65% of the cartel parliament.

During the next elections in 2021, the CDU did poorly and the AfD also took a hit, winning only 83 of 733 seats. The cartel parliament thus grew from 615 to 650 members, the cartel supermajority necessary to pass legislation declined to a mere 56% of the cartel parliament, and Germany received the traffic light coalition – an absolute clown car of a government that oversaw a series of disasters and setbacks from which we have yet to recover.

Voters punished the parties of the traffic light accordingly and they made the AfD stronger than ever, awarding them 152 of 630 seats. You might think that would chasten the cartel parties, but the firewall has nearly reversed the voters’ message. In the cartel parliament of this new Bundestag, SPD, Greens and Die Linke have 56% of the seats. That is to say, they are collectively just as strong as they were in the cartel parliament of 2021! Meanwhile, the CDU and CSU control 44% of the seats in this shrunken cartel parliament, a position which explains the early arrogance of Friedrich Merz, who initially appeared unconcerned with the difficulties of coalition-building. In an establishment discourse that entirely ignores the AfD and treats the cartel parliament as if it were the real, formal parliament, it becomes easy to forget that niggling detail of the cartel supermajority necessary to pass legislation, which now stands at a staggering 66%.

We have before us the phenomenon that will sooner or later destroy the firewall. The latest YouGov poll has the CDU in collapse, with only 26% support, and the AfD in ascendancy, reaching a record high of 24%. It’s conceivable that in the coming weeks the AfD becomes the strongest-polling party in Germany and that the next elections land them at 30% or higher. Of course the establishment may well try to ban Germany’s only alternative. In the unlikely event they succeed, we would finally see that promised correction to the right, as some voters would return to the cartel parties, effectively destroying this system of perverse feedback.

Until then, it will be nothing but a forced march to DDR 2.0.

What Are U.S. Troops Doing in Lithuania?

The Mechanics of Silver Price Suppression + An Excellent Analysis of Silver Right Now

Lew Rockwell Institute - Gio, 27/03/2025 - 21:38

MM Comment:

Today I’ve two very connected offerings:

1. Understanding the Mechanics of Silver Price Suppression

 

When I worked in the Futures Industry I worked extensively in the Gold and Silver Markets…and I knew things were “Unusual” there – to put it mildly.

I could easily see that Gold & Silver were UNIQUE in that the Future’s Price WOULD DETERMINE the Physical Price instead of FOLLOWING the Physical Price.

I knew this was backwards.

Unlike other Physical Commodities, like Corn for example, where the condition of Physical Corn in the fields price WOULD DETERMINE the Futures Price – with Precious Metals it was the OTHER WAY AROUND.

With Precious Metals the Futures price quoted on the COMEX Futures Exchange WOULD DETERMINE what price an ounce of Gold and/or Silver would cost to the retail customer.

This made it obvious to me 30 years ago how UNIQUELY Manipulated Gold and Silver prices were – and unfortunately still are – today.

However, this may be coming to an end. Why now? 

First, today it’s harder and harder to hide in the shadows…Thank Goodness! 

Second, there are forces in motion today that could end this manipulation – finally!

So, first, please read this article HERE which I believe is the single best explanation I’ve ever read of How & Why this manipulation of Gold and Silver is done and has been done for decades.

I encourage everyone interested in this topic to read and, in fact, study this article.

***I’ve also always believed that there were limits to this manipulation and therefore strongly recommend reading the next article below as well.

We may very well be on the cusp of the historic moment when Manipulated Gold and Silver prices come to an end.

Then we’ll see what the Free Market has to say about these prices. Please read on.***

2. An Excellent Analysis of Silver Right Now

The author, my good friend Sean Ring, is a former International Banker and Financial Educator who writes a daily column and a weekly column, both of which I highly recommend. 

This superb article will help you understand China’s recent movements in the Metals Markets and why they may help cause the decades of Price Manipulation in the Precious Metals to come to an end – and perhaps soon.

If you’re interested in Gold and/or Silver I consider these two articles very important reading.

Please share.

Trump’s Election Integrity EO Still Allows Electronic Voting Machines

Lew Rockwell Institute - Gio, 27/03/2025 - 20:53

Writes Ginny Garner:

Lew,

President Trump signed an Executive Order ostensibly to restore election integrity that includes many positive changes to or repeals of policies implemented by Democrats using Covid as an excuse, but it still allows the use of electronic voting machines and does not require hand counting paper ballots. Link: 

https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/03/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-protects-the-integrity-of-american-elections/

Electronic machines have been proven to be susceptible to fraud through programming the code in advance to favor specific candidates (and some states do not allow audits of the code) as shown in Bev Harris’ documentary Hacking Democracy. Also, the USB modem inserted after the ballots are counted transmit and receive data in an insecure manner. The White House Secretary posted on X a survey asking whether respondents wanted election changes that included hand counting the paper ballots. This falsely gave the impression that the EO required a hand count. Link: 

https://x.com/WHLeavitt/status/1904305723695038779

This was a victory for Mike Lindell who heroically led the effort to mobilize Americans in all 50 states to become activists on election integrity through Cause of America, the Election Bureau and Steve Stern’s Precinct Strategy to drive changes at the local and state levels. Lindell acknowledged his objective to get rid of election machines and melt them down into prison bars was not successful in terms of inclusion in the EO but it was 70% of what he had hoped for and noted Trump promises additional action. His reaction to the EO is here:
