International Man: The government is now offering "Trump Accounts" for children, with a $1,000 federal contribution for eligible kids born from 2025 through 2028.

Why do you think the government wants this money held in an IRA-style structure instead of simply giving families direct ownership and control?

Doug Casey: My understanding is that once the money goes into the Trump account, it can't be withdrawn at all until January 1 of the year the child turns 18.

If you read enough commentary you'll find various versions of the idea that our ruination is the result of powerful private interests driving government decisions that benefit them at our expense. Simply put, rich guys can buy votes that favor them, and only them. In some cases they augment their bribes with blackmail.

Does the problem lie with the billionaires or government?

De mortuis nihil nisi bonum, goes the adage of the ancient Romans that every schoolboy knows.

Regrettably, in the case of the recently departed Senator Lindsey Graham finding laudatory words is a nearly impossible task.

George  youtube in calling Graham "a perfectly revolting specimen, and a poor excuse for a human being."

Galloway also ventured some very cogent speculations about the circumstances and causes of Graham's truly unexpected and otherwise not easily explicable death.

Surrendering the Negative Influences in Your Life

Growth has to begin somewhere. Start by exploring both the constructive and the destructive aspects of your nature. First you must deal with the negative. By dealing with what doesn't work in your life, you're going to know what excuses not to fall back on.

COVID-19 vaccine injures are so common many of the legislators who pushed them have also been severely injured-but still won't admit it. This culture of silence around these injuries must end.

One of the things which has always fascinated me about the world is how certain invisible laws govern the "spontaneous" events that occur around us (e.g., radioactive decay).

We are Superman strapped to a carefully machined chunk of Kryptonite we can no longer detach.

I wrote Ultra-Processed Life to describe a peculiarly perverse structure of control that now dominates our entire culture and way of life: what's presented as marvelously beneficial to both sellers and buyers / leaders and the citizenry is actually only beneficial to the sellers / leaders while it actively degrades and deranges the buyers / citizens.

The US Constitution is perhaps the most significant historical and governmental document in a millennia. It established the modern conception of the western Republic, along with true representative government designed to answer to the people rather than rule over the people.

The Bill of Rights outlined clear restrictions on federal and state powers to legislate away the inherent and God given freedoms of the citizenry; an accomplishment which had been attempted in the past but was never truly realized until the war for independence and the creation of the United States.

Over at Twitchy, a publication that curates the news in funny yet insightful ways, a headline reads, "Head of Medical School Tells Congresswoman the Vast Majority of Pregnancies Occur in Women." Sure enough, Twitchy is telling the truth.

During witness testimony before a congressional committee examining the impact of forced "diversity," preferential (non-merit-based) admissions, and "woke" ideology upon the quality of medical schools, the chancellor of UC San Francisco testified under oath that not all pregnancies come from women.

The White House has now released a series of declassified election-integrity documents that the administration says expose what it describes as the largest compromise of American voter data in history. The release followed President Trump's heated nationally televised address Thursday night, where he argued that China systematically acquired sensitive voter information during the 2020 election cycle and that intelligence surrounding the operation was buried inside the bureaucracy rather than presented honestly to elected leadership.

Trump has a disapproval rating of 61%, which indicates that many MAGA Americans have turned against him. Trump brought this rejection of his presidency on himself by renewing America's 21st-century fight for the Zionist agenda of Greater Israel-from the Nile to Pakistan.

The millions of displaced persons from Washington's 21st century wars for Greater Israel resulting in the destruction of Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Palestine are changing the politics of Europe and America where these displaced persons have taken root and are entering politics and media.

For much of the past three decades, economic crises were generally viewed as isolated events. The Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s remained largely regional. The collapse of the dot-com bubble primarily affected technology markets. Even the global financial crisis of 2008, despite its extraordinary scale, originated within a specific segment of the American financial system before spreading outward through increasingly interconnected markets.

Pour résumer, le Premier ministre israélien Benjamin Netanyahu n'a pas l'intention de se retirer de Gaza, ni avant les élections législatives israéliennes - qui devraient se tenir en octobre -, ni après.

Céder ne serait-ce qu'un pouce des quelque 70 % du territoire que son armée occupe actuellement à Gaza serait perçu comme un signe de faiblesse par la majorité des électeurs israéliens et entraînerait une révolte ouverte au sein de sa coalition fascisante.

123 voix pour, 0 contre. Le Conseil National de Transition vient de lancer une offensive médiatique sans précédent dans l'histoire du Sahel"du Sahel. Tafouk TV et Radio Daandè Liptako, les nouveaux médias confédéraux de l'AES, marquent une rupture stratégique avec les canaux d'information traditionnels - perçus comme des relais de l'influence occidentale.

Juste un texte polémique pour surfer sur la Coupe du monde 2026 et réapproprier le sens des luttes à travers une approche complexe.

Le contexte
Depuis que la sélection d'Argentine a entamé les phases éliminatoires de la Coupe du Monde 2026 (CdM2026), une évidence s'impose : c'est dans la douleur et à l'arrachée que l'Albiceleste, triple championne du monde, a obtenu toutes ses qualifications.

Le sénateur Républicain Lindsey Graham, dont on vient d'apprendre la mort inattendue, à l'âge de 71 ans, n'était pas seulement l'un des plus proches de Donald Trump, il était aussi connu pour être l'un des plus fanatiques anti-russes de l'entourage présidentiel, où il militait ouvertement pour la destruction de la Russie par des armes nucléaires. Il était aussi un soutien inconditionnel d'Israël et poussait à la guerre contre l'Iran, et à l'assassinat de tous les dirigeants iraniens.
