As Epstein was murdered to keep him quiet, it was obvious no files would be released.  AG Bondi said she had the files and videos and was going through them.  But then the men in black paid a visit, and suddenly there were no files.  Moreover, the authorities concluded that Epstein committed suicide in his prison cell.  So we are left with the puzzle, there is no evidence that Epstein did anything wrong, so he committed suicide for no reason. If Epstein had no client list, to whom was he trafficking the minors?

The stink is so strong that Dan Bongino, the deputy director of the FBI, is reportedly considering resigning. I cited a news source from India to show that the entire world is watching the US government make a fool of itself.

This is not a “who is the most MAGA, Bondi or Bongino, situation.” It is the ruling elite preventing the whistle from being blown on them, backed up by Netanyahu making sure Trump understands that Epstein’s connection to Mossad does not come up.  Indeed, that and not Iran could be the real reason for Netanyahu’s visit.  If Iran was the reason, how come we have not heard anything about the discussion or decision?

The situation seems clear enough.  So many important people are ensnared in videos engaged in sex with underaged persons that it must be hushed up. Otherwise, Americans will lose confidence in their leadership class.  So folks there is nothing there.  The Clintons and the princes and all the others were flown to Epstein’s island where there were underaged sexual attractions just to see the island and to have tea with Epstein, a math teacher who somehow overnight became super rich.

It is necessary to turn the Epstein Saga into a conspiracy theory or into misinformation in order to save the public’s belief in the leadership class.

It was the same with the coverups of the assassinations of JFK, RFK, MLK, and 9/11.  Everyone on the Warren Commission knew that Oswald was a patsy, just as the other investigators knew that Sirhan Sirhan was a patsy, that James Earl Ray was a patsy, that Osama bin Laden was a patsy.  It was simply imperative that Americans not know that the CIA and Joint Chiefs had assassinated President Kennedy, that the CIA killed Robert Kennedy as he was about to be elected president and would hold accountable the murderers of his brother, that the FBI killed MLK because they feared his leadership, and that 9/11 was impossible without the complicity of the highest levels of the US government. The George W. Bush regime claimed to have had no inkling of the 9/11 attack, but Mossad had a camera team on the scene ready to film the destruction of the World Trade Center.  The Mossad agents were arrested, held two months, and quietly released. There is no mention of the Israeli agents’ advanced knowledge of the 9/11 attack in the official 9/11 Commission report.

The raw fact is that politicized agencies of the US government have agendas that are more important to them than integrity, law, the Constitution, and the American people.  The purpose of 9/11 was to provide the Zionist neoconservatives with the “New Pearl Harbor” they said they needed in order to destroy the Arab countries opposed to Israel’s territorial expansion.  “Seven countries in five years” was a neoconservative project for Israel’s benefit.

The probable Epstein story is that Israel, knowing of the sexual perversion rife among the American leadership class, set up Epstein to ensnare those who could be blackmailed to conform American policies with Israel’s interest.  How else do we explain the US spending the 21st century fighting wars for Israel, protecting and enabling Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians, passing laws that protect Israel from protests and boycotts and preventing Americans from stating the truth about Israel?

America has been the instrument of Israeli aggression.  Israel has so much blackmail power over the American ruling class that the United States of America is locked into its role as Israel’s agent.

Tucker Carlson points out in his speech in this video  that it is not anti-semitic to ask valid questions, but Israel has so brainwashed and indoctrinated Americans that Americans think it is wrong to ask any question about Israel, thus giving Israel free rein over the United States.

Clearly, America is a captive nation.

How things have changed.

The post The Epstein Saga appeared first on LewRockwell.

The Trump administration, which won the 2024 election promising libertarian smaller government and an end to endless wars, has summarily dumped its libertarian promises. Elon Musk has split from the administration after spending several months identifying myriad opportunities to cut federal spending under the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The “Big, Beautiful Bill” has replaced those cuts with spending increases that will outpace those under the previous Democratic administration, as every Republican administration of my lifetime has done. Funding the Ukraine War is also back online.

History isn’t just rhyming here; it’s repeating. It is the mirror image of the post-Revolutionary War split between Hamiltonian Federalists and Jeffersonian libertarians after their common enemy, the British, was defeated. Today, the MAGA Republicans embody classic Hobbesian/Burkean conservatism, while modern libertarians carry the torch of Jeffersonian principles rooted in John Locke’s property based inalienable rights. The defeat of the modern “British”—the progressive left—has exposed this divide, revealing that the MAGA movement’s heart beats closer to Hobbesian control than Lockean liberty.

Many conservatives may object to my identification together of Hobbes and Burke, given the quite different visions they had for the form of government. But they both agreed on the purpose of government: to hold back man’s savage instincts at any cost, including liberty.

In my book, Where Do Conservatives and Liberals Come From?, I argue that conservatives, at their core, believe that the “inclinations of men should frequently be thwarted, their will controlled, and their passions brought into subjection,” as Burke said in Reflections on the Revolution in France. Men are entitled only what liberty the government allows after fulfilling this primary purpose. Burke agreed with Hobbes on this essential point, quoting Hobbes directly in explaining the problem with natural rights: that they give men “a right to everything.”

Burke’s only departure from Hobbes was the means for this thwarting. Hobbes argued that only a unitary, all powerful central government could achieve it. Burke argued that what he called “prescription” – the power of long-established traditions to restrain the savage impulses – could also play a part.

MAGA Republicans are a striking combination of both visions. Their rhetoric often champions “law and order,” a Hobbesian call to maintain societal stability against perceived threats. They have no problem with a massive military establishment, although they reject wars of choice for the purposes of benefiting the peoples of foreign nations rather than purely for domestic security.

The culture wars, on the other hand, are rooted in Burkean prescription. The overturning of long-established norms and traditions – standard ops for the revolutionary left – are a direct threat to civilization that must be reversed. Here there is some overlap with libertarianism. If those traditions are the non-involvement of government in certain areas of human activity, libertarians are all for it. But even if the particular tradition is inconsistent with libertarian principles, those traditions must be maintained, similar to the conservative insistence on maintaining primogeniture in Jefferson’s day.

Since for conservatives the natural state of man is a state of war, the natural economic system of conservativism is mercantilism, which views economic activity as having winners and losers. Recall Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. His constant complaint was “we don’t win anymore” when speaking of international trade. He promised instead that Americans would “get tired of winning.” Alexander Hamilton’s Federalists saw the economy precisely the same and made the same promises.

None of this is at all compatible with the libertarian worldview, where life, liberty, and entitlement to the fruits of one’s labor are property rights the government is tasked to defend. This “American Creed,” crystallized in Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence, was endorsed by the revolutionary Congress in 1776 but quickly rejected by the conservative Federalists once the Revolutionary War was won. Jeffersonians were just as startled by the abrupt shift away from those principles once the Federalists took power as modern libertarians are by Trump and MAGA’s whiplash turn today.

Progressives represented a threat to both conservative order and libertarian freedom, uniting these groups in a temporary alliance. Yet, just as the Federalists and Jeffersonians diverged after defeating the British, the MAGA Republicans and libertarians are splitting post-progressive defeat.

But between the reign of the Federalists and ultimate conservative victory under the Republicans, something happened. Jefferson called it “the revolution of 1800,” considering his and his party’s election as a return to the original revolution’s libertarian roots. What followed was a half century of libertarian dominance in American electoral politics, where even the suggestion the government should be involved in building roads could lose one an election.

Yes, this period was marred by the institution of slavery, a norm of human civilization for all of recorded history, but this was not at all an essential or necessary part of the libertarian system. On the contrary, Locke rejected slavery as merely the state of war in another form. Jefferson himself and his compatriots were constantly seeking a way out of the institution. All the arguments for continuing the institution – even when made by Jeffersonians in times of weakness – were rooted in conservative thinking, not libertarian principles.

The American Revolution itself was rooted in libertarianism, with Locke’s ideas flowing through the writings of British Whigs John Trenchard and Thomas Gordon and American revolutionaries like Samuel Adams, Thomas Paine, and Thomas Jefferson. Thus, when the Federalists assumed power and began governing as conservatives, there was a backlash that led to decades of libertarian electoral victories.

Can another revolution of 1800 occur in America today? The prospects seem grim. Lockean property rights are no longer even a memory for most modern Americans. A century and a half of progressive (originally “Republican Party”) education has purged those ideas from the American psyche. When considering a political issue, absolutely no one poses the question, “Who has a property right here?” – the only question that should be posed in any political argument.

Still, the original libertarian movement during the Enlightenment came from somewhere. The history of mankind is decidedly unlibertarian until this relatively brief, shining moment that just happened to be responsible for everything good about modern civilization – including but by no mean limited to the abolition of slavery. The inalienable rights of the individual, including the right to compete in a free market, to be left alone by the government unless convicted of a crime by his peers (not the government), the freedom to say or think anything one believes without fear of violent repression – these are all libertarian ideas.

The vestiges of these ideas are still alive – barely – in the modern American psyche, despite more than a century’s attacks from the left and right. Perhaps only another Enlightenment can reawaken them. Libertarians can only hope.

The post Trump and MAGA Predictably Dump Their Few Libertarian Positions appeared first on LewRockwell.

All hail our blurt-worthy President!  On a daily basis, he does his part to reveal the stained wife beater worn underneath the Empire’s fraying costume.

The United States empire already consumes 40% of what we make, more if you consider its nonstop borrowing from future taxpayers.  It regulates and controls much of the non-state economy, and is frenetically militarizing in every direction. Yet focusing only on these facts can reduce our recognition of the real and unlimited power of individual action.

Using billions in military force against a disarmed population, the US and Israel pursue a shared objective of genocide, land and gas field theft.  They ended Syria in a similar way, eliminating Syria’s defenses and “rehabilitating” CIA-created “ISIS” into the ruling party, elections always optional for our favorite allies.  Gaza, Syria, and Iran today are seamless parts of the same Middle Eastern policy the US has wasted $6 Trillion and countless millions of lives in the past 30 plus years.

Trump stated in March that the US had flowed $350 Billion in arms and aid to Ukraine, much more than the additional $100 Billion from a host of countries.  Trump’s off the cuff accounting came under fire in Europe.  Either way, that war, like the one on Gaza, is fundamentally a US and NATO Goliath power play against a Russian David.  In terms of purchasing power parity terms, the odds are six to one against Russia, yet we’re always the righteous victims of someone else’s ambition.

US and her allies playing David against Goliathic enemies is not only a false narrative, it’s a collapsing one. US encouragement and support for Ukraine and Israel illustrate the cold reality of the American military-driven economy, and the coming intersection of the American Empire with the edge of a financial cliff.  Eisenhower’s famous farewell speech, for all of its appeal for an alert citizenry, and for all of its cautions about the power of the military industrial congressional complex, might be summed up simply as “Follow the money.”  But following the money also contains some clues to how empire is resisted.

Two recent examples come to mind.  First, the Malaysian-born, ethnic Chinese, American Presbyterian CEO of Intel, Lip-Bu Tan, is cutting jobs everywhere, including significant cuts in Israel. The other is Sweden’s new law that bans buying sex via sites like Onlyfans, and makes “purchase” on such platforms a punishable crime.

Intel is a global company, interested in homing or rehoming more of its capability inside the US.  The vulnerability of its manufacturing facilities in Kiryat Gat surely had little to do with the layoffs, nor did world popular opinion of investing in Israel, given its behavior and practices.

Likewise, Onlyfans is just an unintentional “victim” of a Swedish legal process inching towards consistency.  Buying sex in person in Sweden is criminalized, thus buying it virtually from presumably at-risk sex workers, should also be criminalized.  It can’t be related to the fact that the owners of Onlyfans are major donors to Israel directly, and were the top donor to AIPAC in 2023. Nor could it have much to do with last year’s movement by Onlyfans “creators – the sex workers Sweden wishes to protect – to boycott the platform because of its ties to Israel, and that government’s longstanding policy of genocide.

While these decisions are state and corporate, this is how individual agency works. It operates in the “free market” of people, ideas, and communities.  It’s often like a shadow at the corner of your eye, or a sudden sound you cannot fully identify, ephemerous yet all around us.  We know the world can be seen and heard far beyond the frequency ranges that humans experience, hence the popular term “dog-whistling.”  The contemptuous mainstream denigration of a dog whistle also tells us that “the state” doesn’t like it.  We have the 20th century example of misty poets, who wrote on two levels, one for casual observers, conforming to the state narrative; the other, secret and perhaps terrifying messaging for people ready to understand.  No doubt, the Straussian idea of esoteric understanding falls in this category; one message for the many, and a secret hidden message for the few who can interpret it.

Happily, we don’t need to huddle over obscure texts, incessantly monitor our political leadership for signs of sanity, or be lectured to about “4D chess” and “trust the plan.” All of this implies a human-designed centralized control system.  It conditions us to obey, to serve the state, and to accept proto-totalitarianism.

When a country, a business or a person exercises public independence from the US Empire and its cohorts, they become targets for destruction.  Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi, and Iran, Russia and China have all been on the bloody receiving end of the imperial drive to control and exploit.  But Intel simply decided to follow a path of future prosperity; Sweden is simply aligning its internal and external code. Quietly, both acts subvert empire; brilliantly, any imperial response will be an own goal.

Just being ourselves, we the people are the primary threat to the state.  Even when we simply ask it to do better, it becomes enraged!  The best survival plan its luminaries can come up with is to cede the world to idiocracy-style programming, then run and hide in a bunker somewhere.

States and empires produce slavery at worst, and peonage as a rule. But as the center rots and its institutions hollow, the American Empire has unintentionally driven both its opponents and its victims to be tougher, more cynical, more perceptive, quicker to act, and more skilled and creative in the use of the world’s greatest technologies than any of our politicians, or their allied billionaires and financiers.

The political education of Elon Musk took less than a year; hundreds of millions of people have spent decades “serving empire” and now realize there is a whole bright and wonderful world out there – and all of us calmly aim to make that part of the world even bigger.

Like blind men describing the elephant, we all know something different and unique about how the state operates, the crimes it commits, the secrets it keeps, and the lies it tells.  Some would say this fragmentation of knowledge is why we can’t “fix it!”

But do we really need a future strong leader to fight the state, a bold new party to compete for power under the rigged system that allows us to “choose?”  Or might we instead – today, and tomorrow, and every day – simply try to align our own public and private values, and exercise our own personal sovereignty for peace and prosperity?

They both blame ‘the other side’, when, actually, EACH of the ‘two sides’ (which together constitute the entire public) is being controlled by the mere thousand-or-so super-wealthy few individuals who — because of their control over the ‘news’-media, politicians, think tanks, etc. — effectively control public opinion, and so control the Government in this ‘democracy’ and benefit from it even when the public (both the liberals and the conservatives) are being harmed by it. Those ‘two sides’ blame each other — INSTEAD OF blaming only the billionaires (who, collectively, on both the conservative and the liberal side, benefit enormously FROM these policies — which harm the public).

Here’s an example of this deception, on the conservative side, on July 11th, from Zero Hedge, “JPM CEO Jamie Dimon Unloads On Democrats: ‘Idiots’ Obsessed With Failed Wokeism”:

The inconvenient truth for Democrats is that there is still no bottom in sight, as the party of leftist radicals doubles, triples, and quadruples down on diversity, equity, inclusion, all things woke, and most alarmingly, a rapid descent into embracing Marxist ideas. That’s why rational people have been jumping ship from the imploding party. Just look at the tech bros who voted for President Trump and how the right side of the political spectrum reformatted itself with a relatable message: ‘America First’…

On Thursday, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon spoke at a foreign ministry event in Dublin, blasting the Democratic Party for going off the deep end with DEI, gender politics, and a series of failed policies that he said have harmed the country. “I have a lot of friends who are Democrats, and they’re idiots,” Dimon said at the event.

Holy. Shit.

Jamie Dimon on Democrats today:

“I have a lot of friends who are Democrats today, and they’re idiots. I always say they have big hearts and little brains. They do not understand how the real world works. Almost every single policy they rolled out has failed.”

“I always say they have big hearts and little brains. They do not understand how the real world works. Almost every single policy rolled out failed.” Dimon continued, “They overdid DEI …. We all were devoted to reaching out to the Black community, Hispanic, the LGBT community, the disabled — we do all of that. But to the extent, they gotta stop it. And they gotta go back to being more practical. They’re very ideological.”

He described himself as “barely a Democrat” since the party of woke has fallen into the abyss. His criticism of the Democratic Party also extended to politics in New York City — particularly Manhattan, where the bank is headquartered — which now faces the possibility of a Marxist becoming mayor later this year.

“Barely a Democrat”? Please. Dimon was a full-blown kneeler not long ago…

“This guy [Zohran Mamdani] just got elected — he’s more of a Marxist than a socialist, and now you see these Democrats falling all over themselves saying, ‘Well, he’s pointing out some real problems, affordable housing and grocery prices.’ OK, maybe,” Dimon said. “There’s the same ideological mush that means nothing in the real world.”

Dimon’s criticism of the Democratic Party is nothing new. In late May, the CEO blasted Democrats for the border invasion they facilitated over the Biden-Harris regime’s first term.

Dimon’s criticism signals that the party of leftist radicals is nowhere near a reset. In fact, it has gone further off course — doubling, even tripling down on failed policies that are driving more of its own supporters to jump ship and align with the America First movement.

Jason Curtis Anderson from One City Rising highlights just how far off course Zohran and the Democratic Party have gone (and spoiler alert: it’s bad):

Zohran’s worldview is shaped by his father, who has dedicated his life to promoting anti-Western values and decolonization—a field in which he is regarded as a thought leader.

Marxism has become the philosophy of the “death to America” class, …

The conservatives allege that there is nothing on the left that is not Marxist. They do this because Karl Marx was so stupid that he blamed society’s problems on “the bourgeoisie” or middle class INSTEAD of on the aristocracy (the billionaires), and he even advocated for the extremely stupid labor theory of value, whose empirical falsehood guarantees the failure of any Marxist economy. But conservatives are so stupid as to fall for that ridiculous lie-based attack against ALL of the left (that attack’s presumption that there is no leftist other than Marxist ones).

And here’s an example of this deception on the liberal side, on July 12th, from The Daily Beast, “Plea Deal for 9/11 Mastermind Tossed in Trash”:

A plea deal that would have meant life in prison for accused 9/11 architect Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was tossed out by a federal appeals court Friday.

In a 2-1 decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that former Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin “indisputably” acted within his authority when he nixed the deal last August.

“Having properly assumed the convening authority, the Secretary determined that the ‘families and the American public deserve the opportunity to see military commission trials carried out.’ The Secretary acted within the bounds of his legal authority, and we decline to second-guess his judgment,” wrote Judges Patricia Millett and Neomi Rao, appointees of former President Barack Obama and President Donald Trump, respectively. …

The deal had been struck, a senior law enforcement official close to the situation told the Daily Beast, due to concerns from the defense and victims’ families that it might not be legally feasible for the Osama bin Laden confidant to get the death penalty amid claims he was tortured while in custody. …

That article lies by pretending that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was guilty of having planned the 9/11 attacks, though the only ‘evidence’ the U.S. Government has that he did is that after he had been waterboarded 183 times, he signed a confession that he had planned those attacks. It was not willingly said by him but had been ONLY under that (ever since 1929) internationally recognized form of “torture” extracted from him by the U.S. Government — the Government BY America’s billionaires (not by America’s conservatives, and not by America’s liberals, but by America’s billionaires — both the conservative ones and the liberal ones). The U.S. Government has no legal case against him but is keeping him in prison incommunicado until he dies, so that he will never be allowed to say to the public what his case is. His case has not been, and will not be, made public; only the U.S. Government’s ‘case’ (which is an entirely illegal ‘case’ instead of an actual “case”) has been made public.

Consequently: America is a dictatorship by America’s billionaires — NOT by “conservatives” nor by “liberals” — but this is instead a Government that is effectively on the basis of one-dollar-one-vote (rule by wealth) instead of one-person-one-vote (rule by the people). And BOTH the liberal billionaires’ media AND the conservative billionaires’ media HIDE this fact FROM the public, instead of to publish it to the people.

The reality is that humans — just like other animal-species — are easy for anyone in the billionaire-class and richer to exploit en-masse on the basis of emotions, simply by hiring tried-and-proven experts at doing this (such as also are hired by corporations that advertise — it’s all about marketing). It’s the professional way to control the public. Billionaires do it all the time. It’s very expensive to do, and requires an enormous amount of empirical studies, tests (such as this), in order to do it so that all parts of an entire marketing campaign will together produce success — produce control in the desired way, the way that the investors intend and fund. When what is being marketed is the Government itself (which creates and enforces the laws), billionaire-class investors will invest whatever they must in order to win what they want. They will and do control the Government, by controlling the voters in this way. They can and do terrorize their sucker-voters by appealing to them on the basis of their irrational fears (such as this Rupert Murdoch smear of Zohran Mamdani as being an ‘anti-Semite’ based on the false assumption that anyone who supports the Palestinians against the Israelis MUST and can only BE an ‘anti-Semite’ — and Murdoch threw in there as a bonus the false idea that Chinese and pro-Chinese people, who are hated also by the owners of the New York Times and whom the U.S. Government is aiming to harm, are plain evil). To be frank about this: since they believe in one-dollar-one-vote rule instead of in one-person-one-vote rule, they (not ONLY the conservative ones but also the liberal ones) actually believe, deep down, that they have a RIGHT to control the Government. (That is a bipartisan belief amongst them, though some of the liberal ones CLAIM to support the one-person-one-vote rule.)

The billionaires are united against the public but have fierce disagreements amongst themselves, and many truly believe that liberal billionaires must be defeated, or that conservative billionaires must be defeated, and their media reflect those discordant views, but this isn’t democratic (or “republican” as Republicans prefer to call it) media; it still is aristocratic media because it represents ONLY billionaires against the public in order to control the public — and that (control of the public by billionaires) is inconsistent with ANY democracy. It is aristocracy instead.

Now under America’s first-ever billionaire President we even have headlines such as, on Politico on July 12th, “Trump threatens to revoke US citizenship of longtime critic Rosie O’Donnell: The president — who has already sought to limit birthright citizenship for the children of some immigrants — has no clear authority to do so.” He doesn’t lose his political base even after illegally using the U.S. Government to get back against individuals toward whom he has personal peeves. Thus far, the U.S. Supreme Court has been allowing him to do such things — as-if we had a continuation of the monarchy that our Foounders overthrew and replaced, but now being an Amrican monarch. They constantly, and increasingly boldly, rape — and get away with raping —our Founders’ Constitution. There is no accountability in the U.S. regime.

If this sounds like a desperate situation for the public, that’s because it is. To fix such a problem requires extreme changes, no merely moderate ones — it requires replacing the present system. I have elsewhere described my view of what that would be. (In any case, it would need to be an even more profound change than that of America’s first Revolution, in 1776, because this one would need to redefine what “democracy” MEANS — and not merely what the nation’s Constitution and laws ‘should be’ in order to supposedly ‘embody’ that Constitution). Getting there would not be easy or quick (nor was it so for the Founders of America). If America can’t make this change — this fundamental change of its system — then this dictatorship by the billionaires will only keep getting even worse than it already is. And who would want that, except the billionaires, and their millions of agents — and fools?

This is why hiding the truth is necessary for both liberal and conservative billionaires, and it’s why they won’t hire or retain agents who won’t comply with that requirement.

This newsletter was created with the goal of helping others, and over time, I’ve received many messages from people with important questions I’d love to answer. However, writing each article takes a considerable amount of time—just as an example, I’ve spent the past month working on the final installment of the DMSO series, and it’s still not quite finished. Because of this, I’m not always able to respond individually to every inquiry I get.

While I truly wish I could, the most practical solution I’ve found is to host monthly open threads. These provide readers with a space to ask any outstanding questions—especially those left over from previous content—and I make it a priority to respond. Having all the questions in one place also makes it easier for others to benefit from those answers as well.

For each of these open threads, I like to tie in a topic I’ve been meaning to discuss—usually something I’ve been thinking about but haven’t felt warrants a full-length article. This time, I want to focus on a topic near and dear to my heart, healthy children.

The Chronic Disease Epidemic

One of RFK’s rallying cries has been that our children are being stricken by an onslaught of chronic diseases and that this is undermining the strength that is our future, and his organization, the Children’s Health Defense frequently references this chart:

Note: that data comes from this study and this study.

Since trends in motion tend to persist unless significant measures are taken to shift them, as a recently published study confirmed, this problem has continued to worsen.

Nearly half of all children receiving care in the PEDSnet multicenter network had a chronic health condition, while one-third of children in the general population experience from 1 to 15 parent-reported chronic conditions. Furthermore, obesity now affects 20% of children, and early puberty is increasingly common among girls, with 1 in 7 beginning menstruation before age 12 years. Temporal trends also showed deterioration in sleep health and increasing limitations in activity, alongside worsening of an extensive range of physical and emotional symptoms.

In turn, the study’s data shows that the rates of these conditions have roughly doubled over the last 12 years.

Likewise, many other things have rapidly gone awry

Note: this study also highlighted a myriad of other issues, such as our children being more likely to die than other developed nations, in large part due to sudden infant death syndrome (a condition strongly linked to vaccination).

The Other Half of The Picture

While I agree with the gravity of these findings and the urgency to re-evaluate our vaccination program, I feel they only tell half of the story. That is because:
• There are many other factors besides vaccines that also adversely affect children’s health.
• All illnesses (particularly those which result from being poisoned) tend to distribute on a bell curve, so that the severe, easy to spot reactions are only a minority, whereas less severe (and harder to spot) reactions are much more common.

To some extent this is recognized, as autoimmune disorders (a frequent complication of vaccination) are much more common than vaccine sudden deaths—but in most cases it’s missed.

On the one hand, this is due to the “measurement” problem in science, where scientific studies can generally only be conducted if they have a clear metric by which to measure things, thereby creating clear, reproducible data. This becomes an issue when an agent has so many different symptoms that it can make (many of which are quite subtle), they typically will be written off as anecdotal unless they are deliberately traced, and as a result, many common side effects of vaccines are never formally associated with them.
Note: the most recent glaring example of this happened with the COVID vaccines where trial participants were only given a small list of (relatively benign) symptoms they could check off (e.g., fevers or fatigue) so as a result, those were the side-effects that appeared in the published trial reports. Likewise, V-Safe, the CDC program designed to monitor vaccine side effects, did the same; however fortunately, it also included a free text field where participants could enter other symptoms—most of which were never publicly analyzed (and which the government fought in court to avoid disclosing). Because of all of this, the majority of the medical field assumed most of the side effects patients reported from the vaccines (despite many others experiencing the same symptoms) were anecdotal and had nothing to do with the vaccines).

On the other hand, it’s because many of these pathological changes are more subtle and more complex to spot, so since people aren’t trained to notice them, and have gradually become habituated to all of it “being normal” they don’t realize how much things have changed.
Note: doctors are virtually never trained to recognize the subtle neurological injuries which follow vaccination (which indicate damage has also occurred within the brain).

The Hidden Chronic Disease Epidemic

For as long as I can remember, many natural healers have told me that they can normally spot the unvaccinated children as they are much healthier and vibrant than their peers. For example, after I explained some of the ways this can be identified, two readers shared:

Thanks to this substack, I am now the unofficial medical godfather of 4 unvaccinated babies across several families. All are incredibly healthy with none of the typical problems associated with the microstrokes. All have been described by strangers and family as, “wow, your baby is really aware and paying attention. It’s like they’re sentient, I don’t know how else to say it”. And I am sad when I see those other people’s babies because I know they were supposed to be more, undergo less suffering when I hear their random high pitched shrieks.

Last year I attended a fundraiser auction to raise money for local Mennonite schools. Many families, many children. I was struck by the fact that there was a light, a brightness, in these children’s eyes that I had not seen for decades in other children. The Mennonites here do not vaccinate. Now I understand. It hurts my heart.

Likewise, I received this email a few weeks ago from a mother who followed all of my suggestions for a healthy child:

Other than a minor rash, my daughter has never had any health issues. She’s been ahead on all her developmental milestones, and from the very beginning, she’s been incredibly alert and engaged with her surroundings. She’s always exploring, and only cries when there’s a clear reason—if she’s hungry, tired, hurt, or not getting the attention she wants.

When we’re out in public, she smiles at everyone and tries to make friends. People constantly stop us to comment on how beautiful and full of life she is—some even ask if they can hold her. It wasn’t until I had her that I realized how unusual that kind of energy is in a baby. So many infants I see seem withdrawn, like they’re in a kind of daze, avoiding eye contact, and often looking genuinely sickly.

I’m incredibly grateful we were spared that, but at the same time, I’ve started to feel increasingly unsettled by what I see around me. I think a lot about what other parents must be going through—especially single mothers trying to raise kids on limited incomes—and I honestly don’t know how they manage.

One of the most challenging things when you “step out of the matrix” is becoming able to see (fairly disturbing) things all around you, and one of the key reasons why I appreciate stories like these three is because they illustrate that’s what’s been hidden right in front of us is at last becoming more and more visible.

Screens and Children

As cell phones and tablets became widely available, I would see more and more parents (who had their children with them) at medical visits using devices to keep their children content. In many cases, if a device was withdrawn, the children would have a fit (at which point the device was returned to them).

This greatly concerned me, as I could see that the way the screens pulled them in was not having a healthy effect on the child’s developing nervous system (which is why I advise parents to use audio-only media, such as small devices that play children’s songs).

Note: quite a few social media executives have said they have tremendous regret about what their products (intentionally designed to be addictive) have neurologically done to our children. Likewise, many articles have been written about how Silicon Valley tech executives send their kids to an alternative school where phones and screens are banned.1,2,3,4,5

In this publication, I’ve written numerous articles on the mass neurological damage being caused by vaccination.

In one, I showed that neurologic damage from vaccination has been a well-known problem for over a century (that previously was widely reported in the medical literature) and that conditions like autism used to be widely referred to as “mentally retarded,” a change I strongly suspect was done to obfuscate the issue (as autism exists on a wide spectrum, so hearing that someone “became autistic” is much easier to push into the back of one’s mind than if a child rapidly “becomes retarded” after a vaccine).

In the other, I highlighted that the original pertussis (DPwT) vaccine was particularly problematic as it would often cause encephalitis (which was often accompanied by piercing screams) and then leave the child with lasting brain damage. One author who studied this extensively made the fascinating observation that after the DPwT vaccine entered the market in the 1940s, a variety of societal changes followed which matched when the initial cohort who received the DPwT vaccine reached each age bracket.

For example, in the 1950s, a condition termed “minimal brain damage” [MBD] was coined (with the defining characteristic of it being hyperactivity), which before long became “perhaps the most common, and certainly one of the most time-consuming problems in current pediatric practice”. The symptoms of MBD (as defined by America’s Public Health Service and the American Psychiatric Association) had a significant overlap with what was seen after encephalitis, DPT injuries, and what was associated with autism.

In the 1960s, Ritalin came into use for treating attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity, and minimal brain damage was gradually phased out and replaced with ADHD (a condition independent studies show a 3-20 fold increase from vaccination).

I mention all of this because I have had a nagging suspicion that something similar is happening with screens, as they both draw in and pacify neurologically injured children. Furthermore, patterns set in childhood are very difficult to shake for life, and as we are now starting to see a variety of signs the first generation raised on technology has a variety of mental health issues linked to their technology exposure, which further argues for avoiding screens at an early age.

Note: the mother I mentioned above said one of their major challenges with her daughter has been keeping her away from screens (as she is drawn to them whenever they are left open), and as a result they are using screens less now.

The planet’s eighth largest economy (excl. US, incl. CA) makes another move toward sound currency. “[Texas] House Bill 1056, cleared by both chambers in late May, designates properly marked gold and silver ‘specie’ as legal tender in the Lone Star State starting September 1, 2026.  A second phase – launching no later than May 1, 2027—authorizes an electronic payment rail fully backed by bullion stored in the Texas Bullion Depository.”

And not a moment too soon. “Fifty years after Nixon defaulted on gold convertibility, the dollar faces a new reckoning. But this time, there’s no Saudi oil deal, no Volcker rate hike, and no geopolitical consensus to save it. The DXY just posted its worst start to the year since 1973. Central banks are ditching Treasurys for gold. And BRICS nations are building a parallel system to kill dollar dependence.”

Regarding the latter, the weaponization of the dollar seems to have been the last nail in the coffin. For perspective on proportion, 2024 US GDP was $30.51T, for BRICS, $27.94T. If one includes the BRICS+ countries (Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, UAE), $30.72T. Of course, this does not include other nations in the BRICS+ orbit.

The BRICS strategy has teeth. Gold reserves are currently (if one believes any of these data – sources differ wildly) 8,133 metric tons for the US, 5,757 for BRICS, and 6,618 for BRICS+. (Personal holdings in India are estimated to be 25,000 metric tons, currently valued at $2.7T. The annual consumption in India is estimated to be 800 metric tons.)

BRICS+ also has the corner on gold production with 1033 metric tons per annum, compared to 158 for the US (2024 estimates).

And a quick examination of a world map reveals added leverage to this system, as the BRICS++ community (getting more linked with the OPEC+ community by the minute) controls most of the world’s oil production, as well as vital sea gates.

Lew,

Tucker Carlson’s speech at Turning Point USA on June 11 has upset Laura Loomer and many others. Tucker said you can’t be loyal to both Israel and the US; you cannot work for the US government if you are a citizen of any other nation; we need deportation not amnesty for the 60 million illegals; people are getting angry and going insane because their concerns are not being addressed; and the real concern of Americans is the economy and not Iran. And he takes unscripted questions from the audience. Starts at 4:11.
