No mention of who is doing the funding but the noticing deepens across the board. There is no good reason to pretend any longer. Mind-control money for ops like these comes from all over the place but much or most of it has ties to Jewish Supremacy; there seems to be no other group as large, as widespread or as single-mindedly committed to mass mind-control.

President Donald Trump’s senior budget officer is expected to take over operations at the Department of Government Efficiency once Elon Musk steps down.
Russell Vought, director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, will soon take on much of DOGE’s workload, including working with Congress to recoup funds, reclassifying federal employees, and advancing his proposed 2025 budget, which would significantly reduce government funding, according to the Wall Street Journal.
He has already acted as Musk’s lower-profile partner and praised his department’s efforts to reduce federal regulations, noting that President Trump has pledged to eliminate ten regulations for every one imposed.
The European Union, which was formed for the primary purpose of taking advantage of the United States on TRADE, has been very difficult to deal with. Their powerful Trade Barriers, Vat Taxes, ridiculous Corporate Penalties, Non-Monetary Trade Barriers, Monetary Manipulations, unfair and unjustified lawsuits against Americans Companies, and more, have led to a Trade Deficit with the U.S. of more than $250,000,000 a year, a number which is totally unacceptable. Our discussions with them are going nowhere! Therefore, I am recommending a straight 50% Tariff on the European Union, starting on June 1, 2025. There is no Tariff if the product is built or manufactured in the United States. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

TPS = the Transnational Private Sector or global corporate power, which is largely independent from government. GCC = Gulf Cooperation Council. The real situation appears to be Trump has sidelined Israel to cement trade and political relations with the GCC and others in the region. He appears to be doing something similar with Russia by going over Zelensky’s head while also largely ignoring European warmongers. I strongly approve of these policies and hope Trump succeeds with them. His world trade reset also shares this general outline of going to a higher level to completely rearrange lower-level relationships. ABN
When I first read the headlines on social media claiming the Episcopal Church had announced it was against the doctrine of their faith to help white refugees, I will admit I thought the headlines were clickbait and over blown. However, then I went to read the actual announcement and press release from the Church…. It’s true.
The Episcopal Church has announced, publicly, they were contacted by the federal government as part of an ongoing contract for refugee resettlement, to assist in the transition of white Afrikaner farmers who are fleeing racial violence and given refugee status by the Trump administration.
Specifically, because of the color of their skin, the Episcopal Church is now saying, “in light of our church’s steadfast commitment to racial justice … we are not able to take this step.”
The Church notes their business model using refugee settlement payments from the United States Government has been disrupted by the Trump administration’s pause on funding, and as a result of their no longer getting paid – in combination with the racial profile of the refugees they are now being asked to assist, they will shut down all refugee settlement efforts. It is a stunning statement:
The Episcopal Church – […] “Since January, the previously bipartisan U.S. Refugee Admissions Program in which we participate has essentially shut down. Virtually no new refugees have arrived, hundreds of staff in resettlement agencies around the country have been laid off, and funding for resettling refugees who have already arrived has been uncertain. Then, just over two weeks ago, the federal government informed Episcopal Migration Ministries that under the terms of our federal grant, we are expected to resettle white Afrikaners from South Africa whom the U.S. government has classified as refugees.
In light of our church’s steadfast commitment to racial justice and reconciliation and our historic ties with the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, we are not able to take this step. Accordingly, we have determined that, by the end of the federal fiscal year, we will conclude our refugee resettlement grant agreements with the U.S. federal government.” ~ Rev. Sean W. Rowe, Presiding Bishop, The Episcopal Church
Obviously, if we drop all pretending, the decision of the Church is based on their superseding doctrine of money, which, in this clear example, outweighs their doctrine of faith.
Iran’s geopolitical standing has just undergone a seismic shift in Middle East.
For decades, it has wielded outsized influence in the region, projecting power through the axis of resistance, arguably the most powerful proxies in recent existence.
This network of proxies, costing Iran an estimated $10 billion annually, delivered soft power through ideological narratives and hard power through militia operations, positioning Iran as a de facto hegemon.
And the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of global oil flows, amplified this leverage, as Iran’s threats to seal the chokepoint deterred direct aggression.
___
Abandoning the Axis was a pragmatic bet. BRICS summits and GCC diplomacy offered Iran an exit strategy.
These options meant Iran’s integration into a multipolar order, allowing it to deviate off the collision course it was destined to play out against Israel,
which would have fulfilled the entirety of the neocon chapter in the Middle East.
But instead, BRICS & the GCC indicated to Iran that the cost of its proxies- both financially and diplomatically,
outweighed their returns, as regional convergence favored de-escalation over proxy wars.
This pivot from Iran completely reshaped its geopolitical standing, trading proxy-power influence for pragmatic survival.
The loss of proxies has reduced Iran’s regional clout, but alignment with China and the GCC has unlocked economic lifelines.
In other words, Iran has stepped down as a major player.
Its new position comes at a cost.
A compromised autonomy.
Caught between TPS containment and hegemon vassalization by China, Russia and the GCC.
This downgrade is evident in Iran’s reduced leverage in the region. Its proxy decline has led to a heavy retraction of influence across the levant.
—-
In saying that, I think Iran played the correct dominant strategy. It has very effectively deviated off a destructive path and deepened relations with the GCC and BRICS alignment.
Positive-sum moves in a multipolar world.

For many years the World has wondered why Prescription Drugs and Pharmaceuticals in the United States States of America were SO MUCH HIGHER IN PRICE THAN THEY WERE IN ANY OTHER NATION, SOMETIMES BEING FIVE TO TEN TIMES MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE SAME DRUG, MANUFACTURED IN THE EXACT SAME LABORATORY OR PLANT, BY THE SAME COMPANY??? It was always difficult to explain and very embarrassing because, in fact, there was no correct or rightful answer. The Pharmaceutical/Drug Companies would say, for years, that it was Research and Development Costs, and that all of these costs were, and would be, for no reason whatsoever, borne by the “suckers” of America, ALONE. Campaign Contributions can do wonders, but not with me, and not with the Republican Party. We are going to do the right thing, something that the Democrats have fought for many years. Therefore, I am pleased to announce that Tomorrow morning, in the White House, at 9:00 A.M., I will be signing one of the most consequential Executive Orders in our Country’s history. Prescription Drug and Pharmaceutical prices will be REDUCED, almost immediately, by 30% to 80%. They will rise throughout the World in order to equalize and, for the first time in many years, bring FAIRNESS TO AMERICA! I will be instituting a MOST FAVORED NATION’S POLICY whereby the United States will pay the same price as the Nation that pays the lowest price anywhere in the World. Our Country will finally be treated fairly, and our citizens Healthcare Costs will be reduced by numbers never even thought of before. Additionally, on top of everything else, the United States will save TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent: “I’m happy to report that we made substantial progress between the United States and China in the very important trade talks. First, I want to thank our Swiss host. The Swiss government has been very kind in providing us this wonderful venue, and I think that led to a great deal of productivity we’ve seen. We will be giving details tomorrow, but I can tell you that the talks were productive. We had the vice premier, two vice ministers, who were integrally involved, Ambassador Jamieson, and myself. And I spoke to President Trump, as did Ambassador Jamieson, last night, and he is fully informed of what is going on. So, there will be a complete briefing tomorrow morning.”
U.S. Trade Representative Ambassador Jamieson Greer: “This was, as the Secretary pointed out, a very constructive two days. It’s important to understand how quickly we were able to come to agreement, which reflects that perhaps the differences were not so large as maybe thought. That being said, there was a lot of groundwork that went into these two days. Just remember why we’re here in the first place — the United States has a massive $1.2 trillion trade deficit, so the President declared a national emergency and imposed tariffs, and we’re confident that the deal we struck with our Chinese partners will help us to work toward resolving that national emergency.”
AI and zero-click searches are killing the business model of the web that has sustained content creators for the last 15+ years. It’s an opinion that is shared by many, including Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince, who recently warned that “search drives everything that happens online.”
It’s been known for some time that the web is changing into the Zero-Click Internet, the name for when users no longer need to click on links to find whatever content they want.
Social media sites stopped promoting posts with links years ago, posting content directly on the platforms so users don’t have to leave them. With the advent of generative AI, people are having their queries answered directly on Google’s search page – no need to click on a website to find an answer.
The main issue is that nobody is going to want to create new content when they get paid nothing or almost nothing for doing so. This is especially true when it comes to smaller, independent, impartial sites that AI companies might not partner with. And let’s not forget how often AI gets things completely wrong.
