In our society, we do not push psychopaths off the ice when nobody is looking. In our society, we let them rule the world. Reading by Tim Foley: If there were a thousand people living on an island, and one of them began making life miserable for everyone else, there would soon be 999 people living on the island. How strange, then, that a few oligarchs and empire managers get to push around an entire planet full of humans. I mean, right now we’re all sitting around hoping a few sociopaths in Washington and Tel Aviv don’t collapse the global…

The U.N.’s top nuclear energy official dismissed the possibility of using the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the Obama-era Iran nuclear deal, as a basis for any new agreement in comments at a press conference on Wednesday. Rafael Grossi, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and a candidate to replace Antonio Guterres as the next U.N. secretary-general, addressed the press as reviews begin to assess whether signatories to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) are abiding by their responsibilities. Iran, a terrorist rogue state that has for over a decade invested in…

A Month the Bears Would Rather Forget The bears got slaughtered in April. The nattering nabobs of negativity, who had spent March sharpening their claws with considerable enthusiasm and no small amount of assistance from Wall Street and media analysts afflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome, discovered in April that they had been preparing for a fight the market had no intention of having. The S&P 500, oblivious to the script written for it, rose 10.4 percent, its finest monthly performance since that peculiar autumn of 2020, when stocks levitated on a cocktail of COVID vaccines, reopened retail, fiscal profligacy, and…

A Florida substitute teacher announced herself as a “million-dollar prostitute” and twerked in front of her students. “Investigators said they learned that before their arrival, Jourdan had been yelling, slamming her hands on a desk, making inappropriate statements to students, and ‘twerking’ in the classroom,” local media reports. “This included telling students that she would engage in sexual activity with them and referring to herself as a ‘million dollar prostitute.’” When police arrived at Florida’s Lake Minneola High School at around 10:20 a.m. Monday, “the deputy found the sub — identified as Angela Faith Jourdan — yelling ‘incoherently,’ stating that…

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is being forced to choose between protecting the cartel- connected political party that got her into power or actually fighting drug cartels, as the Trump administration has been pressuring her to do. For now, Sheinbaum appears to be moving to protect her party. It remains to be seen how the U.S. government will react. The issue began this week, when the U.S. Department of Justice announced the unsealing of an indictment against the sitting governor of Sinaloa, Mexico. As Breitbart Texas reported, the indictment names Sinaloa’s Governor Ruben Rocha Moya, a sitting senator, a sitting governor.…

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin zinged Democrat Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) during a tense exchange at a Senate committee hearing this week. Whitehouse accused Zeldin of going on a “polluter-funded rampage to increase Americans’ costs” and charged him with “climate denial.” Overall, Whitehouse asserted that the Trump administration is deliberately raising energy costs on Americans to benefit fossil‑fuel donors. “Can we talk about your math yet?” Zeldin asked as Whitehouse continued to reference an offshore wind power contract. “Are you even tracking the consumer costs of those coal plants?” Whitehouse continued, hardly allowing Zeldin to speak. “Oh, this is great. So…

Members of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee said they left an interview Thursday with Ted Waitt, Ghislaine Maxwell’s former boyfriend, largely empty-handed after an hourslong grilling as part of the panel’s ongoing Jeffrey Epstein investigation. The committee was interested in what Waitt knew about Epstein’s crimes during his relationship with Maxwell, a former British socialite who is now serving 20 years in prison for her part in Epstein’s sex trafficking scheme. Waitt amassed his wealth founding the computer company Gateway and has become a philanthropist supporting ocean conservation. He has not been accused of wrongdoing in connection with…

The program has been lagging well behind schedule, and the system has not…

You Can Only Paper Over Physical Scarcity For So Long… I’m watching the numbers flicker on the screen — Brent crude at $92, WTI hovering near $97 — and I feel a profound sense of dread. This isn’t a market; it’s a meticulously crafted fiction. We are being lied to on a scale so vast it defies comprehension. The current paper price for oil is a government-constructed lie, a narrative woven by desperate authorities to maintain a false sense of stability while the physical foundations of our world crack beneath us. This manipulation isn’t just an economic curiosity; it’s a…
