Iran is turning Lebanon into a veto point — and we are letting it happen

The U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding pairs the nuclear and Lebanon tracks, creating a situation where Hezbollah's rejection of the U.S.-brokered Lebanon ceasefire could halt nuclear diplomacy, as Iran has engineered the situation to use regional pressure as leverage in negotiations.

Technocracy Ascending-Part 5: The Common Good Utopia?

21 April 2025 at 15:27
by Jesse Smith In Technocracy Ascending Part 4, Dark Enlightenment, the Neoreaction(NRx) movement, and accelerationism were exposed as the ideological forces behind the technocrats in the Trump administration. This installment investigates how both Eastern and Western technocrats are creating high-tech utopian societies that supposedly advance the common good of all. Howard Scott of Technocracy Inc. and his merry band of technocrats envisioned an efficiently run system of regional government incorporating a territorial expanse of countries as far south as Panama and north as Canada, known as the North American Technate. It would outlaw politicians and bureaucrats and instead favor rule by experts […]

Michael Snyder: “A Reset of the Global Economy is Definitely Here”

11 April 2025 at 14:00
by Michael Snyder | End of the American Dream Over the past few years, there has been a tremendous amount of buzz about an imminent “reset” of the global economy.  Well, what we are currently witnessing may not look like what they were anticipating, but a “reset” of the global economy is definitely here.  Trillions of dollars were invested to set up the global supply chains that we have today.  I have always argued that we should have never allowed ourselves to become so dependent on goods that are made elsewhere, and making more things in this country is a […]

America’s Great Reset: How the Deep State Is Using Manufactured Crises to Seize Power

10 April 2025 at 23:05
by John and Nisha Whitehead | The Rutherford Institute    “This is economic sabotage. Whether through malice or incompetence or, more likely, both Trump is isolating the United States on the world stage, tanking the markets, worsening inflation, and burdening working families with the cost of his 18th-century cosplay. These aren’t policies. They’re performance art. And the rest of us are footing the bill.”—Oregon’s Bay Area (blog post) What we’re witnessing is the calculated use of emergency powers to concentrate power in the hands of the president, enrich the Deep State, and dismantle what remains of economic and constitutional safeguards.

First They Came for the Op-Ed Writers

by James Bovard | Mises Wire On March 25, six masked federal agents seized a Turkish graduate student on the streets of Somerville, Massachusetts. Rumeysa Ozturk—who was wearing a hajib—is a Fulbright scholar working on a doctorate at Tufts University. She was abducted and vanished into the maw of the federal prison system. The Trump administration ignored a federal court order and took Ozturk from Massachusetts to Louisiana federal detention facilities. But the Trump administration knew Ozturk had criticized the government of Israel a year earlier, enough to seal her doom according to the latest iron-fisted political correctness dictates. She […]

The Great CBDC Bait-and-Switch: How Stablecoins Could Become the New Surveillance Currency

4 April 2025 at 19:52
by Matt Agorist | The Free Thought Project When Donald Trump announced his bold opposition to central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), many cheered. “Finally,” they said, “a politician who’s putting a stop to the technocratic surveillance money.” But as with most things in politics, the devil is in the details — and what’s happening now is a classic bait-and-switch. While Trump is busy posturing against CBDCs, his administration is actively laying the groundwork for stablecoins to fill the exact same role. Same control grid, different branding. Legislation like the bipartisan GENIUS Act (Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins) […]
