We are six months into Donald Trump’s presidency, really his first presidency as his previous four years he was staffed by the ruling establishment with his opponents.

Washington taught Trump a lesson, and this time he is staffed with  people who share the values he expressed in his campaign.  

Nevertheless, the Trump administration is now at odds within itself and with a significant percentage of its MAGA supporters, if news reports can be believed.  The issue splitting the Trump forces is the Epstein dossier.  I wrote yesterday about the Epstein Saga.  Clearly there are problems.

But the nature of the problem is being misrepresented.  Attorney General Bondi did not decide on her own that the Epstein file was empty.  She was not protecting Trump. The decision was imposed on the Trump administration by the American Establishment, the Ruling Elite, the Deep State, the Globalists–whatever you want to call those whose money and economic interests rule the governments in the Western World.

The issue our rulers put to President Trump was:  Are you prepared to discredit in the eyes of the American People the ruling establishment and the government of the United States?  If the people lose confidence in their government, how can you accomplish anything?  

Netanyahu was there with Trump to back them up. If you release the Epstein Files it will be revealed that he was a Mossad agent blackmailing your leaders. We, Israel, will release the names, and your country will be ruined.

But it is not only Bondi having difficulties.  It is also Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Secretary of Health and Human services, and Trump himself.

Robert Kennedy has found that despite being a cabinet secretary in the US government, he cannot decide based on hard evidence that the Covid “vaccine” is harmful to everyone.  All RFK could do was to cease the government’s recommendation of the deadly Covid vax for healthy children and pregnant women.  The Secretary of Health and Human Services is powerless to stop the vaccination of the vast majority of the American population with a “vaccine” that kills and destroys the immune system.  Big Pharma is more powerful than the US Secretary for Health.

Kennedy despite his promise was also unable to ban the deadly glyphosate weed killer that has poisoned food, soil, and water. Kennedy announced that this toxic substance was too important to agri-business to be denied them.  Agri-business is more powerful than Secretary Kennedy, and its profits are more important than Americans’ health.

President Trump cannot even impose tariffs or deport immigrant-invaders.  Globalism makes countries dependent on imports.  Manufacturers are harmed by tariffs, and agri-business is harmed by deportations of illegals. These  powerful economic interests are opposed to tariffs and deportations.

Trump’s tariffs are used to lower foreign tariffs against the US or to force concessions from foreign governments.  But as it turned  out the tariffs raise the cost of the remaining American manufacturers and hurt their profits..  They confronted  Trump and were granted exemptions from tariffs for their input needs.  Essentially, the tariff list was naked.  Nothing on it that wasn’t exempted.

The same for deportations. According to news reports, there are to be no deportations of restaurant workers, farm workers, and workers in the chicken slaughter houses. The deportations seem mainly to be limited to criminal gangs.

It has only taken the Ruling Establishment six months to cancel the domestic agenda of the Trump administration.  The Reagan administration lasted longer before it was neutralized.

Trump’s peace agenda has also gone by the wayside.  He has bombed Iran for Netanyahu and continues to support Israeli aggression and Israel’s genocide of Palestine.  Trump is yet to meet with Putin, instead handing the “peace negotiations” over to Zelensky and Putin.  As the war is really between the US and Russia, Zelensky cannot settle it.  The military/security complex needs war or the threat of war for its profits and power. Peace does not serve their interests.

Americans have a false belief in the power of a president. As long as private money determines politics, money, not the people, rules.

The post Interest Groups Are Stronger Than President Trump appeared first on LewRockwell.

Beware of pretty faces that you find / A pretty face can hide an evil mind…”
—Johnny Rivers, “Secret Agent Man”

“Nuclear war via missiles scared everybody 70 years ago,” Doug Casey writes. “But today it’s not a practical threat. The likely threats, I think, are from more subtle areas—cyber war, bio war, or a new type of guerrilla war.”

There’s another threat that Casey didn’t mention, one that’s been around since humans began noticing the opposite sex, the import of which was immortalized in Christopher Marlowe’s play, Doctor Faustus.  Marlowe paid tribute to what he considered the ultimate power in the universe, the face that launched a thousand ships: Helen of Troy.  Her kiss was so powerful it sucked the soul from the body of his character, Doctor Faustus.  “Brighter art thou than flaming Jupiter,” Faustus exclaimed, referring to the god of Roman mythology, and more lovely than Arethusa, the “fair maiden” pursued by the river god Alpheus.

Helen and the Trojan War provides the perfect tribute to women’s power and how it will often overtake men in their attempt to think.

Faustus . . . [imagines] himself in the role of Paris, the man who sparked the Trojan War by taking Helen.  He suggests that for the sake of Helen, he would allow his own city, Wittenberg, to be destroyed, just as Troy was.  He fantasizes about fighting Menelaus, Helen’s rightful husband, and even defeating Achilles, the greatest warrior in Greek mythology.

Not every man shares Faustus’s obsession, but Marlowe and the myth underscore an often overlooked point: Women have power over men, many of whom hold key positions and err fatally when they’re the targets of feminine charm.  And what woman wouldn’t feel exultant to have a fleet of warships — or drones — launched solely on her behalf?  It is another of those “subtle threats” that seemingly come from nowhere and are often hidden until they explode.

Religions everywhere have struggled with women’s sexuality and their influence on men, but nothing so far has proven failsafe.  In Christian theology Eve sinned first but Adam was ultimately held responsible. According to Mathew 5:28, “But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.”  The moral issue is thereby settled: All men are adulterers and therefore sinners, though their religion offers them a means of redemption.

What about women?  Are they branded with sin?  Since there was no Elvis or Brad Pitt in 99 A.D. and thus no heartthrob to arouse women’s passions, the Rulers That Be let women off the hook.

A great power can become a great weapon

We’ve seen cases of unknown women destroying the careers of politically ambitious men, such as Gary Hart and his high-profile affair with Donna Rice in 1987. In Hart’s case it coincidentally put another story out that snatched attention from government’s march to economic ruin.  The damage to the accused varies, but if the missing Jeffrey Epstein list is any indication the fear of exposure is terrifying.  As it should be.  The missing list allegedly named big shots having sex with underage girls at Epstein’s hideaway.  As we’re seeing with Epstein the mere possibility of illicit sexual activity once again keeps the issue alive while distracting the public from problems that actually affect them.  And what remains of government trust after the list appears, then disappears?

There’s another side to women’s power, one that we’ve seen portrayed in movies and literature wherein women sleep with an enemy to achieve a higher-valued goal.

Betty Pack was a real woman working as a spy at MI6 during World War II.

Her clandestine escapades [led] her boss, Sir William Stephenson, [code name Intrepid] to call her unequivocally ‘the greatest unsung heroine of the war.’ Her discovery of the French and Italian naval codes, as well as her work aiding in the decades-long effort to crack the Enigma code, helped the Allies stay a few steps ahead of the Axis powers, and eventually, win the war.

Born in 1910 in Minnesota, Amy Elizabeth “Betty“ Thorpe, whose father was a Marine Corps officer, was sent to the best boarding schools and became well-versed in elite society protocol but “disliked the phoniness of it all.”  At age eleven her charm captured the attention of an Italian diplomat, and at 19, pregnant and unsure who the father was, she eventually secured a wedding with Arthur Pack, “a dapper British diplomatic attaché twice her age.”

During years of an uninspiring marriage to Arthur and the various places his assignments took them, she eventually came in contact with John Shelley, head of British intelligence at the British Embassy in Poland.  Soon Shelley brought her into Her Majesty’s Secret Service.  Her life now had a purpose: Setting honeytraps and gathering intelligence.

During one of her trysts she learned that the Poles had cracked Germany’s fabled Enigma Machine and helped convince Poland to share the findings.

“Alan Turing could not have built his famous computer to crack a later, more complicated version of the Enigma cipher without the assistance of Polish mathematicians.”

Her methods were often daring and ingenious as well as seductive, but she succeeded in acquiring information that gave the British and American military a tactical advantage that changed the course of the war.  When she died from cancer in 1963,

Pack said she had no regrets about combining the two oldest professions in the world – spying and prostitution – and said: ‘Wars are not won by respectable methods’.

The “blonde Bond” as some have called her begs attention to the realities of world affairs and their conflict with the moral imperatives of most religions.

Today’s issue is for old times’ sake.

Fully half of the people who read my emails today started getting them during the Covid years. At that time I was trying my best to understand what was going on, and other people also trying to make sense of things stumbled on my videos and eBooks, thereby landing them on my subscriber list.

So remember the old days, when I’d share a chart that told the opposite of the story the liars were trying to tell us — and no matter how much you showed it to certain people in your life, it made no difference at all and they went on believing fact-free nonsense?

Well, for old times’s sake, I’ve got another one for you, courtesy of Dr. Kevin Bass:

Alongside that chart, which he shared a few days ago, Kevin added this commentary:

Sweden had the loosest COVID-19 restrictions in the developed world.

California had among the harshest.

Sweden’s life expectancy continues to increase to historic highs.

California’s has not recovered.

Lockdowns understandably turned a lot of people against science.

Still, those in the medical and scientific communities won’t apologize.

They put their egos above the public good.

They do not care about public health.

They never did.

They blame Trump and RFK Jr. for destroying trust in public health.

But they were the ones who destroyed trust.

All they care about is power.

And the public sees it.

It should break the hearts of anyone who cares about public health.

Public health is supposed to be about the health of the public.

Not the egos of the experts.

The institutions in this country have been corrupted.

This is a tragedy.

The silver lining of it all:

Now more people than ever understand whom they can trust and whom they cannot.

That is step one in rebuilding.

The post One Chart Proves They’re Liars appeared first on LewRockwell.

[Y]ou’re walking down the street, earning $25,000 a year, barely paying rent, you don’t have any extra money, and you see a homeless person. You feel a lot of sympathy and say, ‘My God, I have to go to the first bank and borrow $1,000 to give to a homeless person.’ No one thinks so. But, in fact, that’s exactly what we’re doing now.

With this, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) delivered one of the most devastating critiques of American foreign policy in a generation. This analogy cut through the fog of Washington’s war rhetoric like a scythe through wheat.

Fiscal insanity is now the hallmark of America’s elite-driven foreign policy. Furthermore, Paul’s analysis exposes the cruel arithmetic of empire: elites mortgage the futures of the nation’s children to fund conflicts that serve neither national interests nor national honor.

This is more than just accounting. It’s a clear indictment of a ruling class that has forsaken the core principle of governance: put your own people first.

On Monday’s War Room, Steve Bannon pointed out that the remnants of the KGB in Russia, the government in Kiev, and America’s foreign policy establishment all want this war to go on. This deserves serious consideration. However, we must resist the urge to blame everything on shadowy “Deep State” conspiracies.

The problem is not hidden puppet masters—it is the visible, arrogant hubris of a foreign policy establishment that has learned nothing from Iraq, nothing from Afghanistan, and nothing from the blood and treasure squandered in a dozen failed secular crusades.

The real conspiracy is conducted in broad daylight: neoconservatives and liberal internationalists who view American power as the world’s policeman, regardless of cost or consequence. These are the same voices who promised quick victory in Iraq and democratic transformation in Afghanistan. They are the heirs of Woodrow Wilson’s messianic vision, not George Washington’s prudent counsel.

Here lies the opportunity for a genuine coalition of the American right. Paleoconservatives, populists, and libertarians share a familiar foe: imperial overstretch.

This coalition understands that “America First” is not isolationism, but rather the oldest and most honored tradition in American foreign policy.

Those who believe in constitutional government, fiscal responsibility, and the simple proposition that American soldiers should not die for abstractions like “global democracy” or “international norms” must come together. Such a coalition will bridge the gap between Rand Paul’s constitutional conservatism and the populist energy that swept Donald Trump into office.

Reflect. The Ukrainian conflict is not about democracy versus authoritarianism—it is about whether America will continue to bleed itself white for the sake of global empire. Every dollar sent to Kiev is a dollar not spent on America’s crumbling infrastructure, its broken borders, or the neglected veterans.

Moral clarity on this issue will unite the right and restore America’s proper role in the world: a republic, not an empire.

The time for diplomatic niceties has passed. America must choose between the wisdom of its founders and the folly of its elites.

The post The Homeless Man’s Dollar: How Ukraine Aid Exposes Washington’s Broken Priorities appeared first on LewRockwell.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
