The funniest part of the MSNBC report about the issue is their claim that Pulte has not been in office long enough to know who the Deep State embeds are.
“I have a real question of how he would know this. This isn’t a guy who is familiar with intelligence,” said the former official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, citing concerns about retaliation. “How is he going to get to the bottom of this and rely on any information with a matter of fidelity? It would be like me taking over a hospital and firing dozens of surgeons in a matter of days.” {source}
How could Pulte possibly know who to fire, they lament. The likelihood of former DNI Tulsi Gabbard and current CIA Director John Ratcliffe coordinating with ADNI Bill Pulte to clean house, just isn’t something all these former intelligence officials can fathom.
…Mark Jungers, a former Major Lindsey managing partner, told Politico that the firm hired Mrs. Roberts because it hoped to benefit from her being married to the Chief Justice, observing that her network was his network and vice versa.
He later assured Business Insider that he never saw her use the connection inappropriately, and of course he did. He is a recruiting executive protecting the industry’s most famous hire, and his denial is precisely what a denial would sound like whether or not it were true. The admission that matters is the first one. The market priced her marriage. Sophisticated law firms understood that hiring through the Chief Justice’s wife purchased something, and whether that something was influence or merely the appearance of access is beside the point, because federal ethics rules exist precisely to police the appearance. They captured none of it.
…John Roberts has done almost nothing wrong, and that is the problem. The rules let the money in, kept the names out, kept the amounts secret, and asked nothing when the forms proved incomplete. A system that a careful man can satisfy while the public learns nothing is not an ethics regime. It is camouflage, and it is a legal architecture for buying proximity to a lifetime appointee. Congress should change the rules, and conservatives should hold the pen.
Their high-end 5-degree warnings from 20 years ago were used to drive public anxiety and justify massive overhauls to trusted energy systems. These are evaporating under the sheer weight of actual data.
The fear narrative may be ending, but the biosphere is flourishing. NASA satellite data reveal that between 25% and 50% of Earth’s vegetated lands have shown significant greening over the last four decades.
This is an expansion of biomass equivalent to twice the area of the continental United States—and CO₂ fertilisation is responsible for roughly 70% of it. The higher atmospheric CO₂ (hovering around 426 ppm) allows leaf pores (stomata) to stay open for less time to absorb carbon.
This is nature’s built-in water saver, drastically cutting moisture loss and boosting natural drought resistance. As a result, vegetation is actively reclaiming arid fringes of the Sahel, the Middle East and the Australian Outback. Nature is using this extra airborne fuel to thrive in regions once deemed too barren.
Nevertheless, climate bureaucrats are still fixated on economic modeling and their 2050 net zero bank balance target.
The planet itself doesn’t care. Instead it demonstrates the profound, biological benefits of elevated CO₂.
We’ve been quiet recently because Mark Goodwin and I have been working to write the most comprehensive investigation into Polymarket’s origins and ambitions to date.
We found that Polymarket’s “official” origin story, that Shayne Coplan founded the company alone in 2020 and then built “the company in his bathroom”, is a lie. Polymarket really started years earlier as another company called TokenBnk that was deeply tied to Israeli interests, specifically a crypto company founded by Benjamin Netanyahu’s niece and nephew. Coplan has actively tried to obfuscate this company from his story and it’s not the only thing either.
In Part 1 of this two-part series, we unravel the real history of Polymarket, directly connecting the company to Peter Thiel’s efforts to resurrect controversial DARPA programs from its now defunct Information Awareness Office. Polymarket appears to have been chosen by Thiel and his associates to succeed in resurrecting DARPA’s Policy Analysis Market where another Thiel-linked company, Augur, had previously failed.
Stay tuned for Part 2, where we explore the current influence of prediction markets and Polymarket, including how an insidious effort to have prediction markets replace representative democracy as a governance model is already being slowly implemented by the White House.
The first of its kind to examine such an extended timeline for recovery and a wide range of biotic groups in boreal forests after clear-cutting, the study analyzed 190 data sets across North America, Europe and Russia. The research looked at the biodiversity of communities within different forest types, including broadleaf trees like aspen or birch, coniferous trees like spruce or pine, and a mix of the two types.
In about half the cases studied, the biodiversity of the forest communities returned to pre-logged levels in less than 30 years, particularly in faster-growing broadleaf forests, where vascular plants and mosses either weren’t affected at all or recovered within 12 to 25 years.
But in mixed and coniferous forests, recovery was much slower, taking more than 55 years for small mammals such as mice and voles, 85 years for flowering plants, 95 years for lichens, and more than 100 years for mosses and liverworts. And beetles dependent on deadwood for survival showed no signs of recovery at all within the 16 to 29 years of existing data available for review.
Not long after July 20th. Sometime within the first two weeks of August is highest probability.
However, it depends on how far out on the ledge cult leader Mark Carney is willing to take his believers. We will enter the ‘Trump playing with them’ phase, just like Trump played with them in Jan, Feb, March ’25 over the 51st state stuff….. Trump will create turmoil, because he holds all the cards for when he triggers the next sequence of events.
Essentially, the landscape is already set up. The bleachers are already built. The venue is already selected…. The Canadians have no concept of it.
At a point determined by Trump he will invite them into the gauntlet. There is no escape and only one way in.
Carney sits down at the table, Trump announces his demands, Carney balks, Trump glances to Greer, Greer hands Carney the formal exit paperwork and then suddenly everyone around Carney realizes what just happened. Trump set up a CUSMA trap.
A six-month countdown clock now ticks loudly. Trump repeats his demands. Carney looks around at his trade delegation, then asks for a few moments. They leave to huddle….
In the Canadian conference room, someone tells the group a six-month exit is now active. The walls are slowly closing.
If no terms are accepted, in six months all U.S. trade with Canada is immediately laissez-faire, no trade agreement backstops anything, meaning every trade is subject to the sectoral whims of the USA commerce department to outline the terms.
Carney asks his team what is happening. Trump tells them to take all the time in the world to think about it, and to give Jamieson or Howard a call if they have questions.
Trump and Greer then hold a press conference, telling the world the formal exit paperwork has now been issued. However, the U.S and Mexico already have a bilateral deal outlined and ready to begin, so U.S-Mexico trade is seamless. The only issue is Canada.
The following day analysts, economists, banking and finance experts begin running the numbers for Canada…… A slow and unstable Canadian economy collapse begins first with a run on the banks by Canadian dollar holders. Everyone needs to buy USD.
Europe and the U.K try to step in to assist by buying Canadian bonds….. but the risk is astronomical.
75% of Canada’s economy is based on trade that is now uncertain.
Suddenly the team around Carney look at things differently. They realize Canada doesn’t sell 75% of their output to the USA; the USA buys 75% of Canadian output.
In every economic relationship, the seller has no leverage. All leverage belongs to the buyer.
The seller can sell anything, but without buyers they are nothing. In a laissez-faire system suddenly U.S. buyers start to dictate terms and prices. The seller has no option. Life inside Canada is FUBAR.
The Chinese move quickly, buying up Canadian holdings for pennies on the ever-diminishing CAD.
Why? Because the Canadian identity is defined by their main focus on ‘not being American.’ It’s all they know.
I can tell you specifically how it will materialize if you want, because I have already gamed this out. You might even make some money if you pay attention.
Toyota and Honda will do exactly what they have said they will do and exit Canadian manufacturing.
With full approval by Carney and the Canadian government, BYD and Geely will step in, purchase and take over those manufacturing plants to create vehicles in Canada (pennies on the CAD).
Canada will cheer because they will believe they just saved all those auto sector jobs. However, a few reality months later and suddenly it is all Chinese industrial operations bringing in Chinese workers to retool the factories.
Canada will end up paying unemployment benefits to Canadian workers, while Chinese factory workers prepare the facilities to manufacture BYD and Geely autos. The Canadian people will grit their teeth, yet do nothing because they accept their provincial government has already been corrupted by Chinese money.
