Here are our top 5 stories of the week. #1 – Trump and Treasurer Bessent Admit Tariffs Are ‘Unsustainable’ as US Capitulates to China Again, But Now Floats Raising New Tariffs On Other Countries By Jacob M. Thompson | WinePress News Embed from Getty Images The U.S. trade war it has launched against China and the rest of the world has certainly been both confusing and interesting to say the least. I have not talked about this as frequently for this reason, but in this report I will briefly go over some of the more salient points that have transpired […]

Here are our top 5 stories of the week. #1 – Federal Reserve Keeps Interest Rates Steady Still To The Chagrin Of Trump, Expects No Progress On Inflation This Year By Jacob M. Thompson | WinePress News Yesterday the Federal Reserve elected to hold interest rates steady at 4.0% once more in a meeting that objectively got less mainstream attention than usual (in my opinion). However, the Fed revealed that they foresee no progress on inflation (higher for longer) and rising unemployment. The Fed said in a statement: The Committee will continue reducing its holdings of Treasury securities and agency […]

by Willow Tohi | Natural News Google confirmed it uses web content to train AI-powered search features (e.g., Gemini) even when publishers opt out, as its search division operates under different rules than general AI training policies. To fully block AI training, publishers must opt out of Google Search indexing via robots.txt. But this renders their content invisible in search results, harming traffic and ad revenue. The Justice Department proposes drastic measures, including forcing Google to divest Chrome, end default-search payments, and share search/AI data with competitors to curb dominance. Publishers and authors accuse Google and OpenAI of exploiting copyrighted […]

by Elizabeth Melton | The Daily Economy A surveillance state is being erected around the American public at an alarming rate. In many urban and suburban settings, anyone traveling on public streets or sidewalks will have his image captured by the ubiquitous surveillance cameras. A leisurely stroll around the neighborhood, as well as any conversation along  the way, might be recorded if the city uses surveillance-enabled street lights. Even our own front yards might not be safe from the prying eyes of the state if a neighbor has a “smart” doorbell that shares data with law enforcement. Rural areas are […]

by Adam Dick | Ron Paul Institute for Peace And Prosperity Speaking Tuesday before the Homeland Security Subcommittee of the United States House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations regarding the implementation of REAL ID mandates on travelers, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem displayed succinctly in one sentence her disdain for the right of Americans to travel freely and her support instead for an authoritarian approach to travel. “But we are telling people that this law will be enforced and it will allow us to know individuals in this country who they are and that they’re authorized to travel,” declared […]

by Tim Hinchcliffe | The Sociable The RAND Corporation wargames scenarios to see if AI could contribute to human extinction by facilitating nuclear war, creating and deploying pathogens, and malicious geoengineering. According to three simulations conducted in the new RAND report called “On the Extinction Risk from Artificial Intelligence,” AI is currently unlikely to wipe out humanity on its own; however, it could still cause considerable devastation if it were programmed to do so, if it were given enough access to critical systems, and if it were granted decisionmaking powers. “The capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) have accelerated to the […]

by Anthony Murdoch | LifeSite News One of Canada’s largest business advocacy groups has warned that Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal Party win in last week’s federal election will “further stagnate” the nation’s already weakened economy. Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses Canada (CCMBC) President Catherine Swift warned in a statement last week that commitments by the federal government for carbon “net-zero” emissions will create more regulatory burdens and will ultimately negatively impact the Canadian economy. “The net zero climate agenda coupled with big government and regulatory overreach has proven itself to be disastrous for the economy generally, and is […]

by Tyler Durden | Zero Hedge Since President Donald Trump took office in mid-January, the Trump administration has employed Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to streamline government operations. This initiative eliminates redundancies, fraud, and waste while leveraging artificial intelligence to automate and reduce bureaucratic inefficiencies. On Sunday, Elon Musk attended the closed-door Milken Institute Global Conference, where he provided further details on deploying AI to eliminate government inefficiencies, potentially replacing some public sector workers, according to Bloomberg, citing an attendee of the prestigious conference at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles. Musk told financier Michael Milken at the closed-door […]

by Didi Rankovich | Reclaim The Net By 2027, the European Union (EU) is set to use its Anti-Money Laundering regulations (AMLR) to ban privacy cryptocurrencies (crypto-asset accounts allowing anonymization of transactions) and anonymous accounts (accounts using anonymity-enhancing coins). This is interpreted by observers to be defined in the Markets in Cryptao-Assets Regulation (MiCA). The European Crypto Initiative (EUCI) has come out with its “AML Handbook” focusing on how AMLR obligations affect crypto asset service providers (CASPs), as well as financial and credit institutions. These “strict” prohibitions are contained in AMLR Article 79, the key takeaway being that they will […]

by Jesse Smith H.G. Wells 1940 fiction book “The New World Order”, advocated that nation states join together to form a socialist and scientifically managed world government to achieve peace and prevent future world wars. For over a century, significant changes have taken place bringing the world closer to Wells’ imagined global governance structure where the authority and relevance of nation states is increasingly diminished. James Warburg, a German born, American banker and Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) member once boldly stated in 1950, that “we shall have world government whether or not you like it, by conquest or consent.” […]

by Aaron Kheriaty | Brownstone Institute  Here’s the video link to my recent talk at Hillsdale College on AI and Transhumanism. I’m including below the text of the speech if you prefer to read rather than watch it. Hillsdale College: Transhumanism and AI | Aaron Kheriaty, 4 April 2025 (55 mins) Hackable Animals My friends, let me introduce you to Yuval Noah Harari, a man chock full of big ideas. He explained during the Covid crisis: “Covid is critical because this is what convinces people to accept, to legitimize, total biometric surveillance. If we want to stop this epidemic, we […]

[su_box title=”Editor’s Comment” box_color=”#1989B5″]It appears that the Trump administration is no longer on board with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, as I painstakingly explain in part five of my Technocracy Ascending series that the end game (technocratic rule) of Eastern globalists and Western “anti-globalists” is all the same. Other articles discussing some of the same things can be found at Off Guardian and Life Site News where the author explains how Tony Blair’s pivot from net zero policies are just a smokescreen for instituting top-down technocratic governance. To put it bluntly, […]

by Nicolas Creed | Substack I will preface this roundup by reminding readers that the overwhelming majority of Bangkok’s visible population are walking around like zombies staring at their phones. In the parks, most people just want to find a quiet spot in beautiful nature, to spend quality time with their phones. It is getting more difficult to use cash as vendors rarely have change. People love to pay for things using their phones via QR code scanning with banking apps. Bangkok is ground zero for all things technocratic to be battle tested. There is no resistance. There shall be […]

by David Fleming | Off-Guardian In the final weeks of his time as UK Prime Minister in 2007, Tony Blair made an oddly casual but revealing remark about the climate crisis. “Don’t worry about the climate — technology will fix it.” At the time, it seemed like a vague gesture. A reassuring message from a departing leader trying to bridge realism and optimism. Eighteen years later, we now know what he meant. On April 29, 2025, the Tony Blair Institute published a new climate strategy paper titled The Climate Paradox: Why We Need to Reset Action on Climate Change. At […]

[su_box title=”Editor’s Comment” box_color=”#1989B5″]Last year, I wrote about New York City’s efforts to create an advanced “precrime” surveillance state combining aspects of the Robocop and Terminator movie franchises. This article provides an update on some of the advances the city has made since my article was written. – Jesse Smith [/su_box] by Christina Maas | Reclaim The Net Picture this: it’s rush hour in New York City. A guy in a Mets cap mutters to himself on the F train platform, pacing in tight circles. Nearby, a woman checks her phone five times in ten seconds. Overhead, cameras are watching. […]

by Cindy Harper | Reclaim The Net At the United Nations Committee on Information’s 47th session, now in progress through May 9, delegates delivered impassioned speeches condemning the spread of false information online. But while much of the discussion focused on the dangers of disinformation, a growing undercurrent of concern emerged over the potential use of these efforts as a pretext for censorship and control over speech. The Israeli delegation described the spread of online falsehoods and incitement as not merely a technical hurdle but a “moral obligation” to confront, stating that “the fight against disinformation is not only a […]

by Frank Wright | LifeSite News In an interview with Tucker Carlson, Catherine Fitts presents an account of the globalist project that will shock even seasoned veterans of this campaign against humanity. Why? Her claims are backed by decades of published evidence. Her conclusions show the United States, along with the wider West, have suffered a series of manufactured crises designed to usher in a permanent digital dictatorship. Her 20 years of research, which expose the trillion-dollar secret network funding the transition of civilization to tyranny, have now led her to the discovery of a vast underground system of interconnected […]

by Jon Fleetwood | Substack In a recent article, the World Economic Forum (WEF) is openly pushing digital public infrastructure (DPI)—anchored by digital ID systems—as the foundation of a “connected future.” But their own words reveal a future where governments and corporations will track, control, and commodify nearly every digital interaction under the banner of equity, security, and innovation. If your digital ID is the key to banking, benefits, and daily life, then falling out of line with the globalist agenda means they can shut you out with a single click. For years, the WEF has advocated for a future […]

by Kevin Hughes | Natural News The 2009 leak of emails from the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia revealed efforts by scientists to hide flaws, exclude skeptics and withhold data, raising serious questions about the transparency and credibility of the IPCC. The IPCC has been criticized for using non-peer-reviewed sources, such as environmental advocacy group newsletters, leading to retractions of claims about the Amazon rainforests, African crop harvests and Himalayan glaciers. The NIPCC report challenges the IPCC’s assertion that most warming since the mid-20th century is due to human greenhouse gas emissions, arguing that natural causes are […]

Here are our top 5 stories of the week. #1 – Spain’s Renewable Energy “Success” Triggers Nationwide Blackout, Exposing Grid Vulnerabilities By Cassie B | Natural News Embed from Getty Images Spain and Portugal suffered the largest blackout in their shared history this week, plunging millions into darkness for most of the day on Monday. A report is now linking the outage to two solar plant failures in Spain’s southwest, which destabilized the grid. The incident halted critical infrastructure such as trains, airports, and emergency services, sparking calls for accountability as governments rushed to downplay renewable energy contributions. Red Eléctrica, […]
