<p>Council on Environmental Quality will issue a Permitting Technology Action Plan</p>


</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Today, President Trump took <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/04/updating-permitting-technology-for-the-21st-century/">action</a> to ensure the United States is leveraging modern technology to effectively and efficiently conduct environmental reviews and evaluate permits. Permitting reform is a top priority for the Trump Administration and this action will accelerate the process, improve the transparency and predictability of project timelines, and eliminate unnecessary delays holding back the growth of the American economy.</p>
<p>The Presidential Memorandum signed today calls on the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), in consultation with the National Energy Dominance Council (NEDC) and relevant permitting agencies, to issue a plan for modernizing the technology used for Federal environmental review and permitting processes for infrastructure projects. This plan will guide agencies as they use technology to digitize permit applications, expedite reviews, enhance interagency coordination on projects, and given sponsors more transparency and predictability on project permitting schedules. This will also help agencies share information with state and tribal officials to make those permitting processes easier for project sponsors.</p>
<p>“By leveraging 21st century technologies, the U.S. can improve the effectiveness, efficiency, and speed of the Federal environmental review and permitting process — and remove the layers of bureaucracy that are stopping growth while improving the quality of the review process. Thanks to the leadership of President Trump, CEQ will work diligently to issue a Federal Permitting Technology Action Plan and establish a Permitting Innovation Center that will truly enable agencies to expedite permitting and refocus environmental analysis on the issues of greatest importance,” <strong>said the White House Council on Environmental Quality.</strong></p>
<p>“We need to drill more, map more, mine more, and build more — all while innovating faster than our global competitors,” <strong>said Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum.</strong> “The Permitting Technology Action Plan will channel our greatest asset, American innovation and technology, to overhaul our current permitting process and power our nation faster, better, cleaner, and more reliably than ever before. Embracing cutting-edge development and modernizing this outdated system will pave the way to American success.”</p>
<p>“With President Trump’s leadership, this administration is taking action to fix a broken system that’s slowing down critical energy projects across the country. Outdated permitting systems are creating costly delays at the exact moment we need to be expanding capacity, strengthening our energy security, and building the infrastructure that powers American industry and lowers costs for families,” <strong>said Secretary of Energy Chris Wright.</strong> “As Secretary of Energy and Vice Chair of the National Energy Dominance Council, I welcome this decisive action to modernize permitting technology, cut red tape, and align the full force of the federal government behind getting these essential projects approved and built—because energy dominance isn’t possible without the infrastructure to support it.”</p>
<p>“When President Trump says American farmers and ranchers have been the lifeblood of our economy for centuries, he means it. For too long, our producers have experienced delays and uncertainty as they navigate a complex permitting process that gets in the way of American innovation and stifles energy and timber production. This historic Memorandum will increase efficiency and transparency so farmers, foresters, and producers can get back to the work they do every day to feed, fuel, and clothe our nation,” <strong>said Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins.</strong></p>
<p>“It takes too long to build in America,” <strong>said Secretary of Transportation Sean P. Duffy.</strong> “Ridiculous red tape and outdated regulations add cost and delays to projects. It has to stop. Thanks to President Trump’s leadership, we are slashing the bureaucracy and getting back to actually building things in America again. We are doing that by harnessing innovative technology to expedite the permitting process.”</p>
<p>“I applaud President Trump for his actions to streamline environmental reviews and permitting processes which will bolster American innovation and grow our economy. Pillar Three of my Powering the Great American Comeback Initiative is permitting reform, cooperative federalism, and cross-agency partnership and under President Trump’s leadership, EPA will leverage technology to maximize efficiency and maintain the quality of review while expediting permits for infrastructure projects. No longer will applicants face years-long, uncertain, and costly permitting processes. Instead, we will safeguard our environment and incentivize investment into our economy creating American jobs,” <strong>said Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency Lee Zeldin.</strong></p>

<p>The Democrats and whore media’s propagandistic assaults on Trump are endless</p>
<p>Paul Craig Roberts</p>
<p>Just a tip of the iceberg April 15 on CNN:</p>
<p>“Trump again makes John Roberts and the court look week” — message to US Supreme Court:<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>always rule against Trump or you will look weak and Americans will lose confidence in you.</p>
<p>“People are feeling betrayed because they paid their taxes and now fear it could lead to their deportation”– message:<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>deported illegal aliens are really US citizen taxpayers and you might be next!</p>
<p>Biden is hankering to do more and is coming out to protect Social Security from Trump — message:<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Trump’s protection of Social Security recipients from fraud is just a trick to cut their payments.</p>
<p>Independent voters are turning in droves against Trump–message:<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>our propaganda against Trump is working</p>
<p>And this story that the whore media misrepresented to the hilt, CNN, Fox, and all the rest:<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>( ‘Nonsense’: CNN’s Daniel Dale fact-checks Stephen Miller’s claim about mistakenly deported man ) Anytime you see a claim of “fact checked” you know it is a lie: <a href="https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2025/04/15/the-american-whore-media-shames-itself-again/">https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2025/04/15/the-american-whore-media-shames-itself-again/</a><span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>And from the Ministry of Truth at Rolling Stone Magazine:  “Team Trump Is Gaming Out How to Ship U.S. Citizens to El Salvador”</p>
<p>In my opinion as a former Wall Street Journal editor, there is not an ounce of integrity to be found anywhere in the print, TV, and NPR media.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>There is no one in the media today that we would have considered hiring when I was at the WSJ. <span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space"> In fact, there is no one in the media today who has any accomplishments.  </span></p>
<p>The few real journalists America still has — Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi — are sidelined to their individual Internet shows.</p>
<p>Do you remember how accepting the whore media was of President George W. Bush’s claim that he had the power to hold American citizens in prison indefinitely without due process or law, and how accepting the whore media was of President Obama’s execution of American citizens without due process of law?  But if President Trump legally deports an illegal alien, the whore media goes berserk over the “injustice.”</p>

<p>What Can We Expect from the Peace Negotiations?</p>
<p>Paul Craig Roberts</p>
<p>Are the peace negotiations leading anywhere we want to go, or are they leading nowhere, or to more conflict?<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>If I had to bet, I would pick one of the last two choices. Most likely more conflict.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>It is a tendency of peace negotiations to go nowhere except to a ceasefire that is immediately broken.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>As for the Ukraine negotiations, the Russians are the only party to the limited cease fire in Ukraine that have kept the agreement.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Putin’s reward is to be told by Trump to stop fighting and put Russia’s fate in Washington’s hands or there will be more sanctions.</p>
<p>Negotiations tend to keep on continuing, because it is in the interest of the negotiating teams.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>It is their time of fame.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>They are in the limelight.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>They enjoy being important.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>An agreement would make them invisible again.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>It is their 15 minutes of fame that they stretch into months and years.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Consider how long peace negotiations have been going on between Israel and Palestine to no effect except the utter and total destruction of Palestine and its people. The same could happen to Russia as the Kremlin seems to consist of 19th century naive liberals.</p>
<p>In my recent interview on Dialogue Works I wondered why Iran was negotiating when the solution is to invite inspectors in to see if there is any evidence of nuclear weapons production.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>I wondered why Putin was negotiating when his real responsibility to Russia is to win the conflict and dictate the peace terms.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>After all his sad costly experiences with negotiating with Washington, why does Putin desire yet another sad experience?</p>
<p>As far as I can tell, I am the only person who has answered the question. Putin is trying to use the conflict to negotiate a Great Powers Agreement like Yalta.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>If he wins the war, as he should have done long ago, to his way of thinking he loses the chance for a new Yalta that naive Russian foreign affairs commentators are talking about.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>My view differs from Putin’s.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>If he won the war, especially if he had done so right away, Russia would be recognized as a great power worthy of a Great Power Agreement.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Instead, by preventing the Russian military from winning, Putin has convinced the West that Russia is not a formidable military force, and that its leadership is irresolute.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Among the consequences, we have today the French and British considering sending their soldiers to fight against Russia in Ukraine. Only Putin’s irresolution could have convinced the British and French that they could take on Russia.</p>
<p>We also have Baltic countries with small populations engaging in unresisted and unanswered aggression against Russia.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Both Estonia and Finland have moved to use military force to capture and detain Russian oil tankers. <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/estonian-navy-detains-boards-russia-bound-oil-tanker-baltic-sea-2025-04-11/">https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/estonian-navy-detains-boards-russia-bound-oil-tanker-baltic-sea-2025-04-11/</a><span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>If you were the captain of a Russian oil tanker delivering oil to somewhere in Europe, you might already be wondering why your government is fueling the ability of its enemies to wage war against Russia.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>But when you are boarded by a two-bit country whose population is less than Moscow’s and the Kremlin does not intervene, what do you think about the world’s respect for your country?<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>You must be heart-broken.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Powerful Russia humiliated by Estonia!</p>
<p>Putin does not think about these things.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>His focus is only on negotiation.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>He is wedded to it, firmly. He might even be a little crazed by it. It is all that is important.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>He won’t respond to humiliations because it might queer the all-important negotiations.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>So the smallest countries on earth can humiliate Russia at will.</p>
<p>This must affect the Russian population, unless they have been so corrupted by Western “culture” that they are no longer Russian.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>That is the case with many of the Russian intellectuals.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>If Russia can’t be a part of the West, they feel isolated and alone.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Decades of Washington’s propaganda succeeded in diminishing the Russian in them.</p>
<p>From the day that Putin, who had erroneously relied on negotiations, was forced by Washington to intervene in Donbas, Putin and his foreign minister have not ceased bleating how welcoming they would be of peace negotiations.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Consequently, no one in Western governments thought, or think today, that the Kremlin has an ounce of resolve on the battlefield.</p>
<p>This is the problem Putin caused himself.</p>
<p>Do you remember Prigozhin and the Wagner Group?<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>The Wagner Group was the essentially private military force under the command of Yevgeny Prigozhin that Putin had to rely upon when he belatedly intervened in Ukraine.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Having erroneously relied on the Minsk Agreement, which the West used to deceive Putin, Putin had no military force prepared to deal with the massive Ukrainian army Washington had trained and equipped.</p>
<p>Prigozhin found Putin’s way of fighting a war problematical.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>He said his top echelon troops were being required to take casualties but were prohibited from fighting to win.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>The dissatisfaction of the troops with Putin’s strictures that prevented victory, led to a protest march on Moscow, which the jealous Russian General Staff misrepresented as a “rebellion.”<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Prigozhin was removed and later died in a mysterious airplane crash, and the Wagner Group was broken up, thereby depriving Russia of its hardest hitting military force. This is a huge sacrifice in behalf of a distant possible negotiated settlement.</p>
<p>Prigozhin wasn’t alone.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>The second most effective Russian force were the Muslim troops from Chechnya.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Their leader also complained that his force had to take casualties but were prevented from winning.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>He asked publicly, why can’t we get this conflict over with?</p>
<p>I think the answer is that Putin thinks a negotiated settlement possibly leading to a Great Power Agreement is more important than the reputation of Russian military arms and Russian and Ukrainian casualties.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">   </span></p>
<p>If Washington comes to my conclusion, the settlement imposed on Putin will look good on paper but will perpetuate American hegemony.</p>
<p>I have said many times that Putin does not need a mutual security agreement with the West.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>He does not need a New Yalta.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Russia needs a mutual security agreement with China and Iran.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>A mutual security agreement of these three powers would end all wars.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>The US, NATO, Israel cannot possibly confront these three countries militarily.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>But there is no agreement.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Why?<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Is it a lack of vision of Russian, Chinese, and Iranian leaders?<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Or is it distrust between them? Russia and Iran walked away from Syria, leaving the country to Israel, Washington, and Turkey.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Why wouldn’t they walk away from one another?</p>
<p>China, knows that if China wished, China could crush Taiwan, with or without US support to Taiwan, in a few hours.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>But Putin can’t defeat outclassed Ukraine in more than three years, longer than it took Stalin’s Red Army to destroy the powerful German Wehrmacht, driving the Germans out of thousands of miles of Russia, Eastern Europe, and arriving in the streets of Berlin in a shorter time than Putin has been fighting over a few kilometers in Donbas.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>China must wonder what sort of military help would Russia be?</p>
<p>My conclusion is, and I much regret it, it is not a conclusion I want, that Putin has so badly handled the Ukrainian situation, the pipeline, and all other matters with Washington that the only agreement that can be reached is Russia’s surrender.</p>
<p>Putin has shown no will to fight, only to engage in fruitless negotiation.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>Putin rolls out all of Russia’s superior weapons systems, which clearly are superior to anything the West has.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>But no one in the West believes he would use them. Putin has failed to present himself and his country as entities that must be contended with on their terms.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Consequently, Putin is dismissed by Trump as someone to be bossed around, and by militarily impotent Britain and France who are talking about sending their soldiers to Ukraine to defeat Russia.</p>

According to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1676395919925934&amp;set=a.586653828900154">a statement</a> from the Episcopal Church’s Diocese of Jerusalem, this is now the fifth time this hospital has been bombed since the beginning of the Gaza onslaught.</p><p>The IDF is predictably <a href="https://x.com/IDF/status/1911316041625461214">claiming</a> there was a Hamas base in the hospital, because that’s what they always do. The hospitals are Hamas, the ambulances are Hamas, the journalists are Hamas, the UN is Hamas, the schools are Hamas, the children are Hamas, every building in Gaza is Hamas, and anyone who disputes this is also Hamas.</p><p>God this gets old.</p><p>❖</p><p>Israel, October 2023: How dare you say we bombed Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital? We would never bomb a hospital!</p><p>Israel, 2023–2025: *bombs all hospitals in Gaza*</p><p>Israel, April 2025: We just bombed Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital again.</p><p>❖</p><p>Saying that opposing genocide is hateful toward Jews is like saying that opposing child molestation is hateful toward Catholics.</p><p>❖</p><p>Western Zionists will be like, “All this hate for Israel makes me feel anxious and unsafe!”</p><p>Really? Are you sure that’s what you’re feeling? Are you sure it’s not guilt? Gut-wrenching guilt about all those dead kids in the genocide you support? Or cognitive dissonance, because your entire worldview is wrong?</p><p>❖</p><p>People often say I hate Israel, but what’s weird is they say it like it’s a bad thing.</p><p>❖</p><p>So far the “<a href="https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/the-president-of-peace-just-bombed">President of Peace</a>” has started a relentless bombing campaign in Yemen, reignited the Gaza holocaust, and shifted more US war machinery to west Asia in preparation for war with Iran, all while getting ready to announce the first ever trillion-dollar Pentagon budget.</p><p>Trump is just as awful a warmonger as Biden. If there’s a war with Iran he’ll be far worse. He hasn’t even gotten a Ukraine ceasefire.</p><p>❖</p><p>The western political faction that’s doing the most to help murder children in Gaza are not the “Yeehaw kill them Arabs” fanatics of the far right, but the “Gosh it’s so complicated, both sides hate each other and they’ve been at war for millennia” fence-sitting of the so-called moderate.</p><p>The latter is far more destructive because it’s much more widespread and accepted in mainstream western discourse. You can’t be a good talkshow liberal if you’re saying you want to exterminate every living organism in Gaza, but if you hem and haw about ancient unresolvable conflicts and how complicated it all is, you can maintain your vaguely progressivish self-image while still encouraging everyone to allow the western empire to continue backing an active genocide.</p><p>And it’s just complete nonsense. This isn’t complicated; it’s exactly what it looks like. A military force backed by the most powerful empire in history is waging a campaign of extermination and ethnic cleansing to eliminate an undesirable population by raining military explosives onto a giant concentration camp full of children. There are two sides to most conflicts. There are not two sides to this one.</p><p>And this isn’t an ancient conflict, it’s the culmination of abuses which were initiated by western powers dropping a brand new settler-colonialist ethnostate on top of a pre-existing civilization after the second world war. There was no reason to believe the middle east would not have joined the rest of the world in settling into a more peaceful status quo after WWII without western imperialists forcefully inserting an artificial apartheid state into the region like a shard of glass into a foot and then keeping it there by any amount of violence necessary.</p><p>Sure the middle east had plenty of violence prior to the world wars, but if you’ve ever read American and European history you’ll know this wasn’t anything unique to the middle east; it was the norm around the world. It wasn’t until after WWII that things settled down a bit and westerners grew accustomed to a more peaceful status quo; the only reason the middle east wasn’t allowed to join in that movement was because of aggressive western intervention.</p><p>By just shrugging saying “Yeah the Israelis hate the Palestinians and the Palestinians hate the Israelis, who’s to say who’s right,” this mainstream line tacitly promotes the notion that we should just let things play out as they are rather than doing everything we can to stop an active genocide that’s being backed by our own leaders. And this is the position put forward by most of the people with prominent voices in our society. They’re not just not helping, they’re discouraging everyone else from helping too.</p><p>___________________</p><p><em>My work is </em><a href="https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2021/05/24/my-experiments-with-hacking-capitalism/"><em>entirely reader-supported</em></a><em>, so if you enjoyed this piece </em><a href="https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/about"><em>here are some options</em></a><em> where you can toss some money into my tip jar if you want to. </em><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCU8Yu4WZJ11Il3TZmNiMUFQ?sub_confirmation=1"><em>Go here</em></a><em> to find video versions of my articles.

title: Where’s Chris Van Hollen’s Concern for Americans Brutalized by Illegal Immigrant Crime?
author: ;The White House

<p>Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) is currently in El Salvador out of concern for an illegal immigrant MS-13 gang member and human trafficker, for whom he <a href="https://x.com/ChrisVanHollen/status/1912447452117942763">“won’t stop fighting until he’s home.”</a></p>
<p><strong>The criminal illegal immigrant is <em>already </em>home — he’s a Salvadoran citizen.</strong></p>
<p>Where was the Maryland senator’s concern when one of his own constituents, Rachel Morin — an innocent mother of five — was brutally murdered by an illegal immigrant? Van Hollen <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1912470477081018717">didn’t even bother</a> to contact her family.</p>
<p>Where was his concern when an accused killer was <a href="https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/ice-arrests-guatemalan-alien-charged-murder-assault-after-release-noncooperative">allowed</a> to roam free due to the <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/04/sanctuary-policies-put-accused-killer-back-on-the-streets/">so-called “sanctuary” policies</a> of his state’s second-most populous county? Van Hollen didn’t say a word about the radical policies that put his constituents at risk.</p>
<p><strong>And where was his concern for Maryland constituents put at risk by the many other illegal immigrants allowed to roam free until now? </strong>Here is a tiny sample of the criminal illegal immigrants arrested by ICE in Maryland in recent days:</p>

L’idée d’une partition de l’Ukraine fait son chemin. Si du côté washingtonien, cette option monte en puissance, du côté des vassaux européistes elle semble susciter un choc. Pourtant, il était évident que la ligne de démarcation aura bien lieu, sous une forme ou une autre.

Gavin Newsom (D-CA) announces the first lawsuit against the Trump Administration over tariffs, challenging the President's use of emergency declarations as the legal basis.\n\nAttorney General Pam Bondi announces a federal lawsuit against Maine for not complying with the President's Executive Order banning transgender athletes in girl's and women's sports.\n\nHealth and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said the increase in autism rates in children is evidence of an epidemic, contradicting the finding of a CDC study that pointed to increased awareness and better diagnosis.\n\nFederal judge James Boasberg finds “probable cause exists” to hold Trump administration officials in criminal contempt for violating his orders to stop the use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members.\n\nSen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) travels to El Salvador to try to free Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was deported there, accused of being an MS-13 gang member. \n\nPresident Trump has ordered the military into a new, enhanced role on border security, turning a narrow strip of land running along the U.S.-Mexico border into a de facto military base.

title: UK Supreme Court Rules that the Legal Definition of a Woman Is Biological

<p>UK Supreme Court Rules that the Legal Definition of a Woman Is Biological</p>
<p>Paul Craig Roberts</p>
<p>The UK Supreme Court has ruled that in British Law the terms “woman” and “sex” are biological terms and do not include men who identify as “transgender.” The Court ruled that people with “transgender recognition certificates,” whatever that is, are excludable from biological single-sex spaces.</p>
<p>There are interesting aspects of this case that deserve comment. The case was brought by Scottish women’s rights groups against the Scottish government’s imposition of men who declare themselves to be women on biological women’s spaces. What has become of the Scottish people that they put in office a deranged, crazed government that forces biological women to accept men into their private spaces simply because the deranged man declares himself to be a woman? How did Scotland get a deranged government that in earlier times would have been hung off the nearest lamp posts, if not drawn and quartered in the public square? What has gone wrong with the Scottish people that they are unable to make intelligent and moral choices about those they empower to govern them?</p>
<p>We see a similar collapse of historic peoples in Ireland where the Irish people have put in power a government that forces ethnic Irish citizens who can barely put food on the table to support massive inflows of third-world immigrant invaders who are totally destroying the character and quality of Irish life. What has gone wrong with the Irish people that they put in power a government determined to destroy them?</p>
<p>Another interesting aspect is that the LGBT+ alliance is breaking up.  The Scottish lesbians took the side of the women’s rights groups against the alleged “transgenders.” A lesbian spokesperson said that lesbians were tired of being called “far-right bigots” for refusing to accept men into lesbian groups.</p>
<p>The UK Supreme Court has declared “transgender recognition certificates” to be legally meaningless. What precisely is, or was, a “transgender recognition certificate?” It was an effort to use a piece of paper to give authority and reality to a self-declared new sex that does not exist in nature, or if it does only as a freak abnormality.</p>
<p>What the “transgender movement” is, or was, really about is an expansion of the cultural marxist “march through the institutions.” Another normal meaning is destroyed–sex. With the destruction of male/female, chaos is introduced into hospital wards, rape crisis centers, changing rooms, sports teams.</p>
<p>What is extraordinary is the number of Western government officials at every level who fanatically supported the “transgender movement.”  For example, in Virginia a public school administration covered up the rape of a young girl in a school female shower/toilet area by a male allowed access because he declared himself to be a female. The corrupt school administrators were so committed to “transgenders rights” that they covered up a rape and tried to destroy the father who complained of the rape of his child.</p>
<p>This demonstrates how deep  the hold of evil on Western civilization has grown to be. When liberal public school administrators in America are so corrupt that they aid and abet the rape of the young girls in their schools, and cover it up, we know our society is terminably ill.</p>
<p>Can Trump renew such a sick and despoiled country?</p>

The following day, April 19th, saw what has become known as &quot;the shot heard 'round the world&quot; beginning the American Revolution.\n\nThe successful outcome of our Revolution, and the subsequent building of the American Republic established the proof of principle which, in the words of John Quincy Adams, &quot;...demolished at a stroke the lawfulness of all governments founded upon conquest. It swept away all the rubbish of accumulated centuries of servitude.&quot; Over the past decades, that actual tradition of the United States of playing a critical global role in combating colonial exploitation and federalism has been so undermined and erased by a corrupt Anglo-American establishment that few Americans today even know anything about it!\n\nThis Friday, I will be joined by renowned historian Anton Chaitkin who has just released the second volume of his two-volume work &quot;Who We Are: America's Fight for Universal Progress&quot; for a fascinating discussion of how we can now return our nation to that noble mission.","type":"application/x-shockwave-flash","height":390,"width":640,"thumbnails":["https://i2.ytimg.com/vi/yNBXni2sHZQ/hqdefault.jpg"]}]}

{"enclosures":[{"url":"https://www.youtube.com/v/3K0CmwWSy_Q?version=3","title":"Shut Down Their Game— International Peace Coalition Meeting #98","description":"RSVP Here to paricpate in the discussion period on zoom: https://schillerinstitute.nationbuilder.com/ipc_meeting\n\nShut Down Their Game— International Peace Coalition Meeting #98, April 18, 11 am Eastern/ 5pm CET\n\nWe cannot disconnect the breakdown of the financial system with the danger of war. Join the International Peace Coalition this Friday with expert Alex Krainer, reports on youth recruitment outreach, and others to be announced.\n\nFriends of the International Peace Coalition,\n\nAs the new Trump Administration bumbles into its fourth month in office, bullishly overthrowing any and all conventional approaches, the world is struggling to find order in the new president’s actions. The wildly varying statements regarding Iran, for example, are understandably causing concern. Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff indicated on Monday that an Iranian nuclear enrichment program of up to 3.6% was acceptable for a civilian nuclear program—a statement that he shockingly contradicted only a day later when he said &quot;Iran must stop and eliminate its nuclear enrichment and weaponization program.&quot; A similar situation is happening with regard to the tariff policy, where businesses and entire nations are being whipsawed by the uncertainty this introduces.\n\nChaos is not an ally of prosperity—neither in economies nor in international relations. And clearly President Trump is not doing himself any favors by fostering such contradictory and unpredictable policies. However, while these considerations are important and should be addressed, we must be careful not to lose focus on the underlying issues amidst the dizzying pace of events.\n\nFrom this standpoint, consider the now-raging debate in Germany about sending long-range Taurus missiles to Ukraine, as proffered by incoming chancellor Friedrich Merz. Right as the situation between the U.S. and Russia is looking more promising, walking the world back from the brink of World War III, what if Germany were to suddenly assist Ukraine in launching missiles deep into Russia? The head of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service just noted on April 15: &quot;in the event of aggression from the North Atlantic Alliance against the Union State [Russia and Belarus], damage will certainly be inflicted on the entire NATO bloc…&quot; Is Trump aware of this danger?\n\nOr take the case of China and the growing tariff dispute. What actually are the physical-economic capabilities the U.S. has to withstand a full-blown trade war with the world’s largest manufacturing economy? China’s decision to restrict rare earth metals and magnets may be just the tip of the iceberg, and could spell a much bigger problem for an American economy heavily dependent on imports. Vietnam’s expressed interest in accepting the offer to join the BRICS and expand cooperation with China could also be merely an initial indication of the kind of massive counter-reaction Trump’s policy will cause around the world. The attempt to de-couple from China is likely to work just about as well as did the efforts to isolate Russia, and &quot;de-dollarization&quot; might soon become the least of the United States’ problems. What kind of quack economists are advising Trump to take this risk?\n\nAnd last but certainly not least, what kind of effect will this chaos have on the bloated and over-leveraged financial system which has been kept afloat by Federal Reserve liquidity since 2008? As was recently seen with a rapid rise in U.S. Treasury basis points, this system is highly unstable and will quickly run up against the $2 quadrillion derivatives bubble which is waiting to blow. How much turmoil can this financial system stand before it goes into an irreversible collapse?\n\nIt is on factors like these that the real world is being determined, not on the day-to-day events presented as news in the media. And make no mistake—these factors are clearly understood by those who would like to give Trump the `Liz Truss treatment’ and return the U.S. to its dumb-giant status as the enforcer of the Western imperial system. No amount of cleverness, or playing &quot;3d chess,&quot; will avoid the underlying realities confronting the U.S. and the world—and any attempt to ignore this will only make the situation worse.\n\nThe patriot and world citizen today will act to bring about a new series of agreements between the major powers to develop their nations and increase the productive powers of labor of the world as a whole. That is not only how you correct trade imbalances, but how you create a new security and development architecture—all while avoiding a British geopolitical trap in the process.\n\nJoin the International Peace Coalition with expert Alex Krainer, reports on youth recruitment outreach, and others to be announced.","type":"application/x-shockwave-flash","height":390,"width":640,"thumbnails":["https://i4.ytimg.com/vi/3K0CmwWSy_Q/hqdefault.jpg"]}]}

He just awkwardly continued monologuing as their flag was confiscated and they were forcibly removed, even as the crowd booed and eventually began chanting “Free Palestine”.</p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?type=text%2Fhtml&amp;key=a19fcc184b9711e1b4764040d3dc5c07&amp;schema=twitter&amp;url=https%3A//x.com/zei_squirrel/status/1911214962204168553&amp;image=" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allow="accelerometer; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin"><a href="https://medium.com/media/3d55ce3e4518167d1d45c0ce971716ab/href">https://medium.com/media/3d55ce3e4518167d1d45c0ce971716ab/href</a></iframe><p>Sanders has been mixing his support for Israel in with periodic <a href="https://x.com/SenSanders/status/1909736512201048200">criticisms of Netanyahu</a> and the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza, always taking care to make his criticisms about the behavior of Israel’s current leadership and not the nature of the racist apartheid state itself.</p><p>Sanders is doing this for two reasons. Firstly, he is working to galvanize a big tent inclusive coalition of Democrats in opposition to Trump, and he wants that big tent to include people who think genocide is bad and people who think genocide is fine. He doesn’t want to offend the pro-genocide liberals.</p><p>Secondly, Sanders is doing this because he himself is a Zionist. Like other liberal Zionists, Bernie Sanders upholds a vision of an Israel that has never, ever existed: one which remains an ethnostate dominated by Jews, but which conducts itself in a kind and just manner, without constantly murdering and abusing Palestinians.</p><p>This iteration of the state of Israel is a fiction. An imaginary fantasyland, like Narnia. Everything about Israel is stacked against the possibility of such a status quo ever emerging, and Israel has always <a href="https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/going-mask-off-about-the-two-state">done everything it can</a> to prevent the creation of a Palestinian state. By pretending it is possible to have the Zionist entity and also have peace and justice, liberal Zionists help manufacture public consent for continuing to feed weapons to the genocidal apartheid state of Israel.</p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?type=text%2Fhtml&amp;key=a19fcc184b9711e1b4764040d3dc5c07&amp;schema=twitter&amp;url=https%3A//x.com/zei_squirrel/status/1911961520595927059&amp;image=" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allow="accelerometer; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin"><a href="https://medium.com/media/db8a09616c8d36aff5d58610953274be/href">https://medium.com/media/db8a09616c8d36aff5d58610953274be/href</a></iframe><p>When liberal Zionists want to support Israel’s actions, they talk about Israel as a nation, e.g. “Israel has a right to defend itself”. When liberal Zionists want to criticize Israel’s actions, they make it all about Netanyahu, e.g. “Netanyahu’s war machine.”</p><p>The framing is that when Israel deserves our sympathy it’s a collective, but when Israel is naughty the responsibility lies solely at the feet of one bad apple. This ensures that the weapons can keep flowing to Israel (because Israel as a whole is virtuous and worthy of support) while the liberal Zionist still gets to wear their progressive humanitarian clothing (because they wagged their fingers at Netanyahu).</p><p>And it’s just a complete and utter lie. Netanyahu didn’t create Israel’s genocidal tendencies, Israel’s genocidal tendencies created Netanyahu. His entire political career has been made possible by Israel’s collective racism and psychopathy upon which he rode into office.</p><p>This is nothing other than the classic Obama-style tactic of using attractive progressivish language to advance the most destructive agendas of the US empire.</p><p>In other words, it’s Democrats being Democrats.</p><p>________________</p><p><em>My work is </em><a href="https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2021/05/24/my-experiments-with-hacking-capitalism/"><em>entirely reader-supported</em></a><em>, so if you enjoyed this piece </em><a href="https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/about"><em>here are some options</em></a><em> where you can toss some money into my tip jar if you want to. </em><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCU8Yu4WZJ11Il3TZmNiMUFQ?sub_confirmation=1"><em>Go here</em></a><em> to find video versions of my articles.

They open with the shocking story of a 17-year-old killer groomed by a Satanic neo-Nazi cult known as the Order of Nine Angles, an organization with direct ties to Atomwaffen, Islamic extremism, eco-terrorism, and, astonishingly, FBI funding.\n\nThe duo unpacks the cult’s methods, occult origins, and global reach, showing how intelligence agencies worldwide weaponize fringe ideologies to destabilize societies. Ukraine emerges as a central hub of this dark web, fueling trafficking, radicalization, and psyops, while U.S. officials quietly back a rickety foreign policy built on lies and blood money.\n\nThe conversation widens into the 2024 resurrection of the Iran nuclear deal, an agreement that could reshape energy, regional power dynamics, and expose Israel’s long-denied nuclear arsenal. Matt and Ghost dissect the global elite’s resistance to nuclear energy democratization and how Western oligarchs push deindustrialization under the green mask.\n\nFrom ancient mysticism to modern sabotage, this episode traces the fingerprints of empire, revealing how false flags, ideological grooming, and strategic ignorance are used to maintain control.

Helga Zepp-LaRouche writes in her recent article “Trade War, Rearmament, World War? Or a New Security Architecture?( https://schillerinstitute.com/blog/20... - for distribution during the Easter Marches in Germany- that even before the lates aggravation of the strategic situation through the “tariff war”, “we here in Germany were preparing for war. We are told that because of the “unprovoked Russian war of aggression,” we must become “ready for war,” that Russia will attack Germany and other European nations militarily by 2029 at the latest, so we have to invest hundreds of billions of euros in armament, the German Army is going into schools to recruit, and the Interior Ministry says school children should be trained in war preparedness. A certain Lieutenant General Andre Bodemann explains, in respect to “Operation Plan Germany,” that people will soon have to get used to seeing the transport of many dead and injured in the streets again, Volkswagen is once again producing armaments which are to be used against Russia again. The whole world is looking at Germany in horror, wondering how this is possible, given our country’s history. How on earth did we get to this point just 35 years after the peaceful revolution in East Germany and German reunification?”Zepp-LaRouche continues to pose the essential question: “If Trump, regardless of his tariff policy, is now attempting to end this war and thereby the deaths in Ukraine, shouldn’t Germany and Europe support this 100% instead of wanting to continue the war in a “Coalition of the Willing”?”She concludes by stating, that: “So what can be done? In such a dual existential crisis—the threat of financial collapse and the danger of war—band-aids will not help. We need a completely new paradigm in international relations, a return to diplomacy as a means of conflict resolution, and the overcoming of geopolitics by focusing on the common interests of mankind.”Helga Zepp-LaRouche will discuss on Thursday, April 17, 11am Eastern / 5pm CET with Ambassador Chas Freeman the question of What is Going On in Germany?

<p><strong>The Democrat Party and Law and Journalism Schools Are Americans’ Worst Enemies</strong></p>
<p>Paul Craig Roberts</p>
<p>Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz, one of the most knowledgable and seasoned law practitioners in the US, has expressed concern about federal district judge Boasberg’s threat to hold President Trump in contempt for refusing to allow Boasberg to determine whether or not the executive branch can enforce US immigration law. Dershowitz has cautioned Boasberg against assuming power that the judiciary does not have. Dershowitz says that Boasberg’s threat shows weakness, not strength.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>As for the whore media’s line that Trump’s disobeying of a judge’s order has caused a “Constitutional Crisis,” Dershowitz says pure nonsense.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/k9Xi7yRZQfo">https://www.youtube.com/live/k9Xi7yRZQfo</a><span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>The whore media is doing its best to create a narrative that it can use to bloody President Trump. CBS, for example, cannot imagine a president so vile that he “deliberately flouted” the orders of a legally incompetent Democrat activist judge not to deport illegal aliens.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>However, by so openly supporting the Democrat judges’ attempts to prevent the president from deporting illegal aliens, the media is further displaying its highly partisan politicization.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Judge Boasberg has presented himself as so highly politicized that he has discredited his own rulings.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>As Dershowitz notes, if the Justice Department holds firm, it doesn’t matter what Boasberg rules as he has no way of enforcing his controversial rulings that exceed his authority.</p>
<p>Boasberg, like some other Democrat judges, believes that illegal aliens are legal “migrants” who have the right of access to US courts to prevent the executive branch from deporting those who have entered our country illegally.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Soon we will be hearing from such as Boasberg that keeping illegal entrants out with border controls and a wall violates their rights and thereby gives them the right to US courts to sue for being disallowed entry. <span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>What we are witnessing in Boasberg is the consequence of years of teaching by US law schools that the purpose of a lawyer and a judge is not to find the truth and uphold justice, but to use law as a weapon to revolutionize American society.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Journalism schools teach their students the same: The purpose of a journalist and an editor is not to root out the facts and report the news but to create narratives that undermine the existing belief system and revolutionize society.</p>
<p>This has been going on in America for many years. It is part of the cultural Marxist “march through the institutions.”<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>The consequences are that journalists have learned to lie to support the narrative which is itself a lie, and those trained in law have learned to disrespect the Constitution and the balance of powers.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>American law and journalism schools are forces for overthrowing a merit-based society and equality under law and replacing it with DEI preferences and privileges.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>The Democrat Party, which once represented the working class, has realigned itself with the illegal immigrant-invaders and the sexually perverse.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>The meaning of citizenship is being destroyed.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Democrat cities and states want the franchise given to immigrant-invaders. The Biden regime issued federal IDs to immigrant-invaders.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>California is willing to hire illegals with federal IDs as police officers. New York City is willing for illegals to vote in city elections, and so on.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Sexual perversion has been normalized to the point that marriage is no longer between a man and a woman.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Pedophilia is the last remaining perversion, and it is working its way toward normalization with the early sexualization of children in schools and the replacement of the term “pedophile” with “minor-attracted person,” just as homosexuals became “gays” on their route to normalization.</p>
<p>The cultural Marxists marched much faster and further through the Democrat Party than through the Republicans.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>One of the main goals was to remove white ethnic Americans from leadership positions.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>This has occurred in financial, corporate, and high tech arenas.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>It was especially the case in the Biden regime’s defense appointments.</p>
<p>In the Biden regime the Secretary of Defense was black.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was black. The Deputy Secretary of Defense was a woman. The Chief of Naval Operations was a woman. The Secretary of the Army was a woman. The Secretary of the Navy was a Cuban-born Hispanic. The Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence was black. The Undersecretary of the Air Force was a woman. The Chief of Staff of the Secretary of Defense was a woman. The General Counsel of the Army was black. The Assistant Secretary of Defense for National Security Affairs, possibly the most important position, was a woman. Many other Assistant Secretaries and Deputy Undersecretaries of Defense were women.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>The Secretary of State was a Jew. The Secretary of the Treasury was a Jew. The Attorney General was a Jew. The Secretary of Homeland Security was a Jew. The Deputy Director of the CIA was a Jew. The Director of National Intelligence was a Jew. The White House Chief of  Staff was a Jew. The Cybersecurity Director of the National Security Agency was a Jew.  The Deputy Secretary of State was a Jew.  <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/all-the-jews-biden-has-tapped-for-top-roles-in-his-new-administration/">https://www.timesofisrael.com/all-the-jews-biden-has-tapped-for-top-roles-in-his-new-administration/ </a></p>
<p>Biden’s ambassadors to Denmark, Germany, Malta, Kazakhstan, Canada, Hungary, India, Israel, Italy, Singapore, Norway, Paraguay, Argentina, European Union, Belgium, Japan, Portugal,  and Jordan were Jews. <a href="https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jews-in-the-biden-administration"> https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jews-in-the-biden-administration </a></p>
<p>Where were the white gentile heterosexual men?<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>They were displaced by the Democrats’ DEI policy that gave preferred standing and privilege to blacks, women, Jews, and the sexually perverse over white gentile heterosexual men.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Do you remember Biden’s non-binary drag queen appointee, Sam Brinton, appointed to a Department of Energy position?</p>

<p>The Biden Democrats were perfectly at home with this freak.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Do you remember Biden’s transgendered admiral, also a Jew?</p>

<p><a href="https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/image-2.jpeg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/image-2-310x388.jpeg" alt="" width="310" height="388" data-sanitized-class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-138690"></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Why did the Democrat Biden regime rub traditional Americans noses in it?  They rubbed our noses in it to show us that we were finished, over and done with.  We found ourselves in a new world of privilege based on entitled races and unlimited genders.  No more white supremacy tools such as merit and performance.  No more sexual morality based on male-female relationships.  Today we have Democrat judges, mayors, governors alleging that illegal immigrant-invaders have the same, and even superior rights due to their DEI status, to American citizens.  The whore media agrees.</p>
<p>Tell me, how is Trump going to make American Great Again when almost half of the US population has a totally different idea of what it means to be great?   More will be forthcoming on this topic.</p>
<p>Addendum:</p>
<p>The activist politicized Democrat judge Boasberg, overruled by the US Supreme Court (<a href="https://www.westernjournal.com/trump-admin-scores-second-scotus-win-allowing-move-forward-deportations/?ff_source=email&amp;ff_medium=elliance-patriot-update&amp;ff_campaign=CAN&amp;ff_content=2025-04-18">https://www.westernjournal.com/trump-admin-scores-second-scotus-win-allowing-move-forward-deportations/?ff_source=email&amp;ff_medium=elliance-patriot-update&amp;ff_campaign=CAN&amp;ff_content=2025-04-18</a> ), which said the Trump administration has the authority to remove the illegal aliens and which also said that Boasberg has no jurisdiction over the case because the case belongs in Texas, not D.C., alleges that “the fact that his court lacked jurisdiction over the matter does not excuse Trump administration officials from complying with his directives.” <a href="https://www.westernjournal.com/white-house-fires-back-judge-boasberg-issues-criminal-contempt-decision-trump-admin/?ff_source=email&amp;ff_medium=elliance-patriot-update&amp;ff_campaign=CAN&amp;ff_content=2025-04-18">https://www.westernjournal.com/white-house-fires-back-judge-boasberg-issues-criminal-contempt-decision-trump-admin/?ff_source=email&amp;ff_medium=elliance-patriot-update&amp;ff_campaign=CAN&amp;ff_content=2025-04-18</a><span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>It appears that Boasberg is so politicized that he doesn’t mind making a fool of himself if it puts out a false narrative for the white liberal press to use to demonize President Trump.</p>

<p>NEDC, Permitting Council expedite permitting for several critical mineral production projects—with many more projects coming soon.</p>


</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Today, the Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council (Permitting Council) announced increased transparency, accountability, and predictability for the permitting review process for the first wave of critical mineral production projects—with many more projects on the way—in response to President Trump’s Executive Order, <em><a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/immediate-measures-to-increase-american-mineral-production/">Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production</a></em>. Identifying these transparency projects under the Permitting Council’s statutory program advances the President’s directive to take immediate action to facilitate domestic production of America’s vast mineral resources to create jobs, fuel prosperity, and significantly reduce our reliance on foreign nations.</p>
<p>“This is the first use of the Permitting Council’s transparency authority, and we look forward to showcasing the many benefits the Federal Permitting Dashboard can bring to critical infrastructure projects as part of President Trump’s Executive Order on increasing American mineral production,” <strong>said Manisha Patel, Acting Executive Director at the Permitting Council</strong>. “The Federal Permitting Dashboard is a vital tool in enhancing interagency coordination and efficient decision making and will play an invaluable role in ensuring that these projects receive the most efficient review and authorization process possible in order to bring the benefits of next generation infrastructure to communities across the nation.”</p>
<p>In response to the <em>Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production</em> Executive Order, the chair of the National Energy Dominance Council (NEDC) submitted the first in a series of lists of mineral production projects to be identified as transparency projects on the Federal Permitting Dashboard to the Permitting Council Acting Executive Director. This is just the beginning—many more projects are expected to be added to the list on a rolling basis over the next few weeks. Inclusion on the Permitting Dashboard as a transparency project makes the environmental review and authorizations schedule for these vital mineral production projects publicly available and allows all of these projects to benefit from increased transparency. The public nature of the dashboard ensures that all stakeholders, from project sponsors and community members to federal agency leaders have up-to-date accounting of where each project stands in the review process. This transparency leads to greater accountability, ensuring a more efficient process.</p>
<p><strong>Initial selected projects include:</strong></p>
<p>• Resolution Copper Project<br>• Stibnite Gold Project<br>• Warrior Met Coal Mines<br>• McDermitt Exploration Project<br>• South West Arkansas Project<br>• Caldwell Canyon Mine Project<br>• Libby Exploration Project<br>• Lisbon Valley Copper Project<br>• Silver Peak Lithium Mine<br>• Michigan Potash</p>
<p>For further information about these projects, please visit Federal Permitting Dashboard’s <a href="https://www.permits.performance.gov/projects/transparency-projects">Transparency Projects Tab</a>.

Contrary to populist fables, our Republic was not born of resistance to “taxation without representation,” but was centuries long in the making, going back to the 15th Century and the work of Nicholas of Cusa and Joan of Arc, among others.\n\nThat Benjamin Franklin was conducting important experiments in electricity while he was engaged as a spy and recruiter in Europe was no coincidence, but the standard of what a citizen in a free republic should become. He also was a staunch opponent of slavery, as were Alexander Hamilton, Gouverneur Morris, and John Quincy Adams among many others.\n\nSadly, most Americans, including most proponents of the “American System” of economics, have no idea of what our revolution was about, or how Alexander Hamilton, our first Treasury Secretary transformed our nation into the leading industrial and agricultural producer on the planet. The LaRouche Organization will take the opportunity of the 250th anniversary of the “Shot Heard Round the World” to begin a year-long initiative to educate and inspire our fellow Americans to rededicate themselves to the mission of our nation, as expressed in our Declaration of Independence and Constitution with a series of conferences, essays, podcasts, and historical tours.  Join us on the 19th as we begin this amazing journey.\n\n✅Become a member of the LaRouche Organization ➜ https://laroucheorganization.nationbuilder.com/tlo-membership \n\n✅ Subscribe to EIR News Service ➜ https://eir.news\n\n💥 Follow us on: \nYouTube ➜ https://www.youtube.com/@LaRoucheOrganization\nTwitter ➜ https://twitter.com/HarleySchlanger\nFacebook➜  https://www.facebook.com/LaRoucheOrg\n\n📖 Read the Collected Works of Lyndon LaRouche 👉🏻 https://www.larouchelegacyfoundation.org/collected-works\n\n🚀Donate to the LaRouche Organization ➡ https://laroucheorganization.nationbuilder.com/donate 🚀","type":"application/x-shockwave-flash","height":390,"width":640,"thumbnails":["https://i2.ytimg.com/vi/5Ir5U5cguK4/hqdefault.jpg"]}]}

The following day, April 19th, saw what has become known as &quot;the shot heard 'round the world&quot; beginning the American Revolution.\n\nThe successful outcome of our Revolution and the subsequent building of the American Republic established the proof of principle which, in the words of John Quincy Adams, &quot;...demolished at a stroke the lawfulness of all governments founded upon conquest. It swept away all the rubbish of accumulated centuries of servitude.&quot; Over the past decades, that critical global role of United States in combating colonial exploitation and federalism has been so undermined and erased by a corrupt Anglo-American establishment that few Americans today even know anything about it!\n\nThis Friday, I will be joined by renowned historian Anton Chaitkin who has just released the second volume of his two-volume work &quot;Who We Are: America's Fight for Universal Progress&quot; for a fascinating discussion of how we can now return our nation to that noble mission.\n\n🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

<div><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/youtube/w_728,c_limit/xmQBMtpiRWk" data-sanitized-class="ff-og-image-inserted"></div><p>On 17 April 2025, I was on “Judging Freedom” with Judge Napolitano. We discussed the Trump administration’s inability to formulate a clear and coherent policy on both Iran and Ukraine, while doing nothing to end the genocide in Gaza. We also touched on how badly Trump’s tariffs have been received at home and abroad and the growing evidence that they will probably hurt the United States more than China. It was a depressing conversation, but hopefully an informative one.</p>

The offer was likely ignored because Yemen would still be attacking Israeli ships, and this is really about <a href="https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/they-tell-you-the-houthis-attack">protecting Israel’s ability to commit genocide</a> in Gaza.</p><p>❖</p><p>I saw Cenk Uygur <a href="https://x.com/cenkuygur/status/1912980565705515106">saying</a> that Trump “deserves a ton of credit” because of a <a href="https://archive.is/QScpj">New York Times report</a> that, for the time being, he has decided to opt for diplomacy with Iran rather than war.</p><p>No, Trump does not deserve “credit” for deciding to hold off on starting a war with Iran. That’s like saying I deserve a trophy for not firebombing a preschool today.</p><p>❖</p><p>There’s a lot going on right now, but the Gaza holocaust is still the worst and most significant thing happening in the world today.</p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?type=text%2Fhtml&amp;key=a19fcc184b9711e1b4764040d3dc5c07&amp;schema=twitter&amp;url=https%3A//x.com/Hamza_a96/status/1912834087795966126&amp;image=" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allow="accelerometer; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin"><a href="https://medium.com/media/fdd628175f7eac887b962aff6b3bac1e/href">https://medium.com/media/fdd628175f7eac887b962aff6b3bac1e/href</a></iframe><p>The challenge at this point is not so much getting information out about the Gaza holocaust, but getting people to really SEE it. Moving it out of the periphery of their awareness as one more bad thing happening in our world and getting them to viscerally grasp what’s happening.</p><p>That’s why you’ll see pro-Palestine accounts saying things like “Read that again” and “Let that sink in” when pointing to the horrific things Israel is doing. Everyone pretty much knows there’s something terrible happening in Gaza by now, but it’s kind of a back burner issue for most people, simmering in the background while their attention is steered toward issues that are less inconvenient to our rulers, like the feuding between mainstream political parties. They’re trying to get them to really stop and experience the reality of this nightmare.</p><p>The task therefore is to keep finding new ways to get people to see this thing with fresh eyes. Not as one more terrible thing happening in the world that they don’t like to think about, but for the extremely urgent crisis that it is. Turning each raw fact about this thing from one more data point in a sea of indecipherable white noise into something real in people’s experience.</p><p>You don’t need to be an investigative journalist or expert analyst to do this. The information is all right there in the public. All you have to do is keep finding new and creative ways to get people to really see it and feel it.</p><p>❖</p><p>Israel’s <a href="https://www.972mag.com/jenin-refugee-camp-reengineered-israeli-army/">assaults on the West Bank</a> are a different order of collective punishment from Gaza, because nobody in the West Bank even had anything to do with October 7. There’s not even any pretense that it’s because of something they did; it’s just “They’re Palestinians. Destroy them.”</p><p>❖</p><p>Same movie, different soundtrack. That’s Gaza under Trump.</p><p>The Biden administration backed a genocide while occasionally making noises about humanitarian concerns, and now the Trump administration backs a genocide without making those noises.</p><p>All that’s changed is the noise.</p><p>________________</p><p><em>My work is </em><a href="https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2021/05/24/my-experiments-with-hacking-capitalism/"><em>entirely reader-supported</em></a><em>, so if you enjoyed this piece </em><a href="https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/about"><em>here are some options</em></a><em> where you can toss some money into my tip jar if you want to. </em><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCU8Yu4WZJ11Il3TZmNiMUFQ?sub_confirmation=1"><em>Go here</em></a><em> to find video versions of my articles.

To call this hypocritical after the way these people spent years rending their garments about the erosion of the First Amendment would be a massive understatement.</p><p>The hypocrisy of Trumpists cheerleading the president’s assaults on free speech makes it clear that they have no idea why free speech ever came to be valued in our society in the first place. They think freedom of speech is so esteemed because it feels nice to be able to say whatever you want, and it upsets their feelings when people tell them they shouldn’t say “retard” or make unkind remarks about trans people — which people are allowed to do under the Trump administration.</p><p>They seriously think it’s all about them and their feelings. They’ve never put any more thought or research into it than that.</p><p>And from this point of view it makes perfect sense for them to say “It’s fine to deport that person for criticizing Israel, because they’re not a citizen. They don’t have free speech rights.” They think free speech is just a pleasant perk that lets US citizens enjoy the nice feelings of being able to say whatever they want; the people having their green cards and student visas revoked for inconvenient speech don’t have citizenship, so they don’t get to feel the nice feelings.</p><p>But it has nothing to do with anyone’s feelings. The first and foremost reason free speech is important is because <a href="https://caityjohnstone.medium.com/lets-back-up-a-sec-and-ask-why-free-speech-actually-matters-1fd6cd8c41de">it puts a check on the abuses of the powerful</a>. The First Amendment of the US Constitution isn’t there to ensure US citizens get to feel nice feelings, it’s there to restrict the government’s right to obstruct the free flow of information, thereby enabling the citizenry to effectively organize any necessary opposition to the status quo. At least in theory.</p><p>This is why the first thing any tyrant does after consolidating power is always to restrict the flow of information. It’s not to make the public feel bad feelings, it’s to prevent anyone from sharing information about their abuses to foment discontent and organize mass resistance.</p><p>Free speech, if sufficiently realized, could solve all our problems. If information was really flowing freely without being constantly manipulated and obstructed by the rich and powerful, our rulers would no longer be able to manufacture consent for our abusive status quo, because everyone would be aware of how bad things are and how much better they could be.</p><p>It is only because the rich and powerful are able to do things like buy up media companies, rig algorithms, fund think tanks, decide what films get made, decide who gets famous and who remains marginalized, silence and deport political dissidents, and restrict access to information by deeming it “classified” that our abusive political norms are able to be maintained. If information was truly democratized and freely flowing, nobody would tolerate being impoverished, sickened and oppressed for the benefit of a few oligarchs and empire managers.</p><p>The US government isn’t deporting critics of Israel because it wants them to feel bad feelings, it’s deporting them because it doesn’t want Americans to hear legitimate criticisms of US foreign policy. They aren’t merely violating the rights of the speaker by restricting the flow of this information, they’re violating the rights <a href="https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/censorship-violates-the-rights-of">of anyone else who would hear it</a>. They are doing this to help ensure public consent for a genocidal status quo that a populace with an informed mind and an informed conscience would never consent to.</p><p>_______________</p><p><em>My work is </em><a href="https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2021/05/24/my-experiments-with-hacking-capitalism/"><em>entirely reader-supported</em></a><em>, so if you enjoyed this piece </em><a href="https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/about"><em>here are some options</em></a><em> where you can toss some money into my tip jar if you want to. </em><a href="https://caitlinjohnstone.com/"><em>Click here for links for my mailing list, social media, books, merch, and audio/video versions of each article</em></a><em>.

Contrary to populist fables, our Republic was not born of resistance to “taxation without representation,” but was centuries long in the making, going back to the 15th Century and the work of Nicholas of Cusa and Joan of Arc, among others.\n\nThat Benjamin Franklin was conducting important experiments in electricity while he was engaged as a spy and recruiter in Europe was no coincidence, but the standard of what a citizen in a free republic should become. He also was a staunch opponent of slavery, as were Alexander Hamilton, Gouverneur Morris, and John Quincy Adams among many others.\n\nSadly, most Americans, including most proponents of the “American System” of economics, have no idea of what our revolution was about, or how Alexander Hamilton, our first Treasury Secretary transformed our nation into the leading industrial and agricultural producer on the planet. The LaRouche Organization will take the opportunity of the 250th anniversary of the “Shot Heard Round the World” to begin a year-long initiative to educate and inspire our fellow Americans to rededicate themselves to the mission of our nation, as expressed in our Declaration of Independence and Constitution with a series of conferences, essays, podcasts, and historical tours.

But even he’s starting to sound rattled. His latest video, posted April 18th, is titled “The U.S. has already gone crazy. Japan and China can seize this major strategic opportunity.”\n\nProfessor Jin warns that the U.S. is pressuring Japan and South Korea into a new economic deal, similar in spirit to the old Plaza Accord, but even harsher—possibly converting Japanese-held U.S. bonds into century-long, zero-interest ones. He calls it economic colonialism, and suggests Japan and Korea might be better off aligning with China.\n\nI’ll add this: many of you asked about the so-called &quot;Mar-a-Lago Accord.&quot; It’s a proposed strategy by Stephen Miran to reshape global trade by devaluing the dollar and pressuring allies into new terms. If you think of global trade as a hierarchy with the U.S. on top, this makes sense—it’s about keeping that top seat.\n\nBut this isn’t just about economics. If China resists and survives this tariff storm, it could shift global perceptions. America’s playing fast and hard—but when you try to fight five battles at once, it might say more about your desperation than your strength.\n\nLet me know your thoughts. Do you think Japan will fold or break away?\n\n0:00 - Intro\n02:37 - Jin Video\n15:37 - My thought regarding the situation\n\nDonation and Support:\n\nhttps://buymeacoffee.com/windspiritz\n\nhttps://www.patreon.com/Awakening_Richard","type":"application/x-shockwave-flash","height":390,"width":640,"thumbnails":["https://i4.ytimg.com/vi/KFNQOEpxx6U/hqdefault.jpg"]}]}

There is a struggle within the Trump Administration, particularly around its commitment to restore its relations with Russia. The same is reflected in the “war-no war” split in the Administration on Iran.Nations attempting to “find order” in the Trump Administration’s approach to policy making are baffled, but what is certainly undeniable is Trump’s efforts to normalize Russian-American relations, in the midst of the erratic, hawkish responses by the trans-Atlantic establishment in Western Europe. Incoming German chancellor Friedrich Merz, for example, has insanely doubled down on his intention to send Taurus long-range missiles to Ukraine. The head of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service has responded, stating that, in the event of a NATO-backed attack against Russia, damage would certainly “be inflicted on the entire NATO bloc.”The President and his team, however, have a major cultural flaw—they are being soft on the poisonous “special relationship” with Great Britain. Those British forces, as well as their cronies in Europe, are absolutely determined to decapitate his Presidency. They intend to give Trump the “financial regime change treatment” former Bank of England head turned Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke about in Jackson Hole, Wyoming in 2019. They may use the collapse of the financial markets, as partially referenced by several unfriendly City of London-linked media publications. Vice President J.D. Vance, in his April 14th interview with the British publication UnHerd, showed the Administration’s susceptibility to British seduction when he said, “(Trump) admires and loves the King. It is a very important relationship. And he’s a businessman and has a number of important business relationships in [Britain]…. And of course, fundamentally America is an Anglo country.”Contrary to that view, the United States was founded as the polar opposite to unbridled Anglo-Dutch imperialism in the late 18th Century. The drive to end all forms of colonialism and financial looting is embedded in the U.S. Declaration of Independence and the Federal Constitution—especially its Preamble—and was later manifested in economic form by Alexander Hamilton’s four reports on a National Bank, the constitutionality of such a bank, public credit, and the need for manufacturing. In the War of Rebellion against the British-sponsored Confederacy, President Abraham Lincoln had reaffirmed that commitment by Hamilton to end slavery and British imperialism.This is the mission of the May 24-25th Schiller Institute conference, “A Beautiful Vision for Humanity in Times of Great Turbulence!” To realize that vision, we need a new global security and development architecture that takes into account the existential interest of every single nation on the planet. American-Russian relations, damaged almost beyond repair in the Biden years, are the first step to making that vision reality.<br><br><span>(Feed generated with <a href="https://fetchrss.com/feedLink?w=67af770b1916a673960ab842" target="_blank">FetchRSS</a>)</span>

In this hard-hitting talk, Shahid Bolsen exposes the dangers of celebrating Western figures who parrot pro-Palestinian or anti-imperialist rhetoric. From Jeffrey Sachs to liberal “allies,” Bolsen explains how these voices are not challenging empire—they are managing its optics.\n\nHe dives deep into the tactics of narrative manipulation, the myth of allyship, and the internalized inferiority that compels Muslims to seek Western approval. This is not a call for animosity—it is a call for clarity. The Qur’an has already told us how the Kuffar operate, and no rebranding in the language of &quot;sustainability&quot; or &quot;solidarity&quot; changes that.\n\nThis talk challenges the desperate applause for temporary sympathizers and exposes the ongoing imperial project dressed in technocratic, post-militarist camouflage. If you think Jeffrey Sachs switched sides, think again.\n\n👉 Share this message. Reclaim your narrative. Stop retweeting your colonizer’s sympathy.\n\n#ShahidBolsen #MiddleNation #JeffreySachs #FalseAllies #ColonizedMind #Palestine #Ummah #Decolonize #AntiImperialism #Islam #Resistance #MuslimUnity","type":"application/x-shockwave-flash","height":390,"width":640,"thumbnails":["https://i3.ytimg.com/vi/fT8ylh7FcTE/hqdefault.jpg"]}]}

<p>Now it is the Moldovan government that is attacking Christianity.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>The true target is the faith of the Moldovan people, which is the basis of their moral guidelines, traditional values and cultural mores. The government’s attack on Christianity is part and parcel of the destruction of a people.</p>
<p>Eons ago in the 1970s when I began pointing out that the attacks on Christianity were worsening behavior and raising the crime rate by undermining the moral restraint associated with Christianity, my liberal acquaintances replied that religion was the cause of wars and that a peaceful world required that religion be discredited.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>That is what many Americans of that generation learned in universities.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>The teaching certainly went hand-in-glove with the march through the institutions.

Nine members of her family were also reportedly killed in the bombing. She was going to get married in a few days.</p><p>The documentary is titled <em>Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk</em>, and it’s about Israel’s crimes in Gaza.</p><p>In an <a href="https://www.instagram.com/fatma_hassona2/p/C-LQuqmM3Ty/?hl=en&amp;img_index=4">Instagram post</a> from August of last year, Hassouna <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/apr/18/gaza-photojournalist-killed-by-israeli-airstrike-fatima-hassouna">wrote the following</a>:</p><blockquote>“If I die, I want a loud death.

So I consider my camera to be my rifle. So many times, in so many situations, I tell my friends, Come and see, it’s not bullets that we load into a rifle. Okay, I’m going to put a memory card into the camera. This is the camera’s bullet, the memory card. It changes the world and defends me. It shows the world what is happening to me and what’s happening to others. So I used to consider this my weapon, that I defend myself with it. And so that my family won’t be forgotten. And so I can document people’s stories, so that my family’s stories too don’t just vanish into thin air.”</blockquote><p>Israel saw Hassouna’s camera as a weapon too, apparently.</p><p>As Ryan Grim observed on Twitter:</p><blockquote>“For this to have been a deliberate act — which it plainly was — consider what that means. A person within the IDF saw the news that Fatma’s film was accepted into Cannes. He/she/they then proposed assassinating her. Other people reviewed the suggestion and approved it. Then other people carried it out.”</blockquote><p>Israel has been murdering a <a href="https://truthout.org/articles/israels-genocide-has-killed-more-journalists-than-wwi-and-wwii-combined-report/">record-shattering number of journalists</a> in Gaza while simultaneously <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/26/bbc-jeremy-bowen-accuses-israel-blocking-journalists-gaza">blocking any foreign press</a> from accessing the enclave because Israel views journalists as its enemy. And Israel views journalists as its enemy because Israel is the enemy of truth.</p><p>Israel and its western backers understand that truth and support for Israel are mutually exclusive. Those who support Israel are not interested in the truth, and those who are interested in the truth don’t support Israel.</p><p>That’s why the light of journalism is being aggressively snuffed out in Gaza while Israel massively <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/israel-boosts-propaganda-funding-150-million-sway-global-opinion-against">increases its propaganda budget</a> to sway public opinion.</p><p>It’s why journalists like Fatima Hassouna are being assassinated while the western propaganda services known as the mainstream press <a href="https://www.thenation.com/article/world/israel-gaza-genocide-media-coverage/">commit journalistic malpractice</a> to hide the truth of Israel’s crimes.</p><p>It’s why western journalists are banned from Gaza while western institutions are silencing, deporting, firing and marginalizing those who speak out about Israel’s criminality.</p><p>Israel and truth cannot coexist. Israel’s enemies know this, and Israel knows this. That’s why Israel’s primary weapons are bombs, bullets, propaganda, censorship, and obstruction, while the main weapon of Israel’s enemies is the camera.</p><p>Fatima Hassouna’s death has indeed been heard. All these loud noises are snapping more and more eyes open from their slumber.</p><p>_________________</p><p><em>My work is </em><a href="https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2021/05/24/my-experiments-with-hacking-capitalism/"><em>entirely reader-supported</em></a><em>, so if you enjoyed this piece </em><a href="https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/about"><em>here are some options</em></a><em> where you can toss some money into my tip jar if you want to. </em><a href="https://caitlinjohnstone.com/"><em>Click here for links for my mailing list, social media, books, merch, and audio/video versions of each article</em></a><em>.

<p data-spm-anchor-id="0.0.0.i0">(This article is published courtesy of the author. Original published in <a href="https://vscs.cri.cn/m/20250418/b5f95219-41d4-548d-e9d4-424b495122a8.html"><span>Voice of South China Sea</span></a>)</p>
<p data-spm-anchor-id="0.0.0.i0">When Donald Trump is earnestly waiting for nations impacted by his ” Reciprocal Tariff ” to seek bilateral negotiation with him during the 90-day reprieve, President Xi Jinping’s state visits to Vietnam, Malaysia and Cambodia is widely viewed as a strong endorsement for the robust China-ASEAN partnership.</p>
<p>In the case of Malaysia, Xi’s reciprocal visit to that of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and the Malaysian monarch is, in itself, a triumph for the escalating political trust between the two countries. Indeed, it has been an acid test for Malaysia to progress from the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership fostered under Najib administration in 2013 to that of the Community With a Shared Future under the Anwar-led coalition across the aisle in 2023.</p>
<p>From the perspective of Malaysian public, the principles of Community With A Shared Future may sound too profound to comprehend, nonetheless the kind deeds of China in dispatching medical supplies and vaccines for emergency use in Malaysia at the height of coronavirus outbreak remains deeply etched in the memories of the people. The emergency response mechanism calling for collectively addressing public health crisis in the region further marks the commitment of China to building the Health Silk Road in Southeast Asia. This paved the way for fostering the China-ASEAN Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in 2021 and subsequently the watershed partnership of Community With A Shared Future with Malaysia. Both emerge as a coveted triumph for China’s neighbourhood diplomacy.</p>
<p>Against such an upbeat backdrop, Xi’s words of reaffirming China’s renewed pursuit of a ” New Golden 50 Years ” in Kuala Lumpur sent a strong note of endorsement not only to the host, but also across the entire region which was worst hit by Trump’s punitive ” Reciprocal Tariff “.</p>
<p>The uncertainties induced by Trump’s helter-skelter tariff are well poised to throw the world into disarray. The hard won rules-based global trading system is at risk with his total disregards of the World Trade Organisation’s  ( WTO ) regulatory role. Never has the global free trade been impacted by such a unilateral imposition of tariffs, country by country, under the guise of arresting trade deficit. This is tantamount to declaring a Trade War against the whole world.</p>
<p>It put economies of varying sizes to an unprecedented test. Of the ASEAN member states, the 3 least developed countries, namely Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar are slapped with extraordinarily high tariffs of 49%, 48% and 44 % respectively. Malaysia is not spared either. Having had fostered a robust trade relations with the US, Malaysia is among the first to be included in the derogatory ” Dirty 15 ” list by the US Administration, purportedly on the ground of having huge trade surpluses vis-a-vis Washington.</p>
<p>Driven by the US’ geopolitical agenda of encircling and isolating China, ASEAN member states with the edge of geographical proximity to China can no longer leverage the ” China + 1″ strategy to circumvent the earlier US tariffs targeting China specifically. Supply chains that camouflage vast volumes of Chinese goods transshipped through Southeast Asia to duck the existing tariffs are now facing the headwinds of ” Reciprocal Tariffs “. Plainly put,  the host countries are now being made to bear the convenient collateral damages, while China remains the prime target in the US tariff game.</p>
<p>ASEAN, the fourth-largest trading partner of the US, which has more than 13% of its exports entering the US market in 2024, apparently has to brace itself for a bad beating of its robust trade of over US$476.8 billion with the US. In addition, being the key source of investments in ASEAN, Washington looks set to have sufficient tools to armtwist the respective ASEAN member states into submission, particularly when they are expected to negotiate individually with the US on the tariff terms. This will leave the affected ASEAN member states deprived of the leverage of collective bargaining strength on the ticket of ASEAN.</p>
<p>Under such hostile circumstances, that ASEAN can ill-afford to go confrontational with retaliatory tariff is very much anticipated. ASEAN ‘s relative mild collective intent to seek a “frank and constructive dialogue” with Washington to address the trade-related concerns is understandably a reconciliatory response measured to not ruffle too many feathers in Washington.</p>
<p>In view of the prevailing unpredictability of the Trump administration characterised by his transactional norms, nobody could ever predict how the bilateral negotiation will prevail from here on. But one thing for sure, it will greatly enhance the vulnerability of the respective ASEAN member states to the habitual and consistent wedge-driving of the US in alienating China from its neighbours. Ultimately, the choice likely lies in which contending trade partner would the ASEAN member state benefit more from in their head-on geopolitical competition. Beijing or Washington ?</p>
<p>Obviously, the existing China-ASEAN partnership, through the operation of existing platforms like China-ASEAN Free Trade Area ( CAFTA ) and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership ( RCEP ), has a competitive edge over its rival in terms of trade volume.</p>
<p>Ultimately, what truly makes the difference is likely China’s soft power that assures its neighbours of predictability and stability in managing their relations and cooperation.  Staying true to the genuine needs and priorities of the emerging economies in ASEAN, no country could ever ignore the significance of neighbourly amity and multilateral cooperation in face of common challenges. More so, when basic survival is called into question. This goes beyond sheer economic dividends. What’s more the only possible niceties the affected ASEAN member states can expect to get from the US is a compromised tariff rate which will still impact the marketability of their products. This will land ASEAN in a no-win position.</p>
<p>In this context, China’s ideal of building a “Community With A Shared Future” is undoubtedly a strong appeal to the developing world. It embodies a coordinated emergency response system, rooted in multilateral cooperation, in times of crisis. No short term quid-pro-quo over the tariff turmoil could ever outweigh such an imperative in the ensuing tariff negotiation, if any.</p>
<p>As Xi indicated in a signed article published in the Malaysian media ahead of his arrival at Kuala Lumpur, the decision on building the China-Malaysia community with a shared future marked “a new milestone in the bilateral relations.” Though his words referenced China’s relations with Malaysia per se, the message provides ample food for thought across the region as the “new milestone” sets  a success model for others to emulate, alongside injecting new momentum into regional development and stability in Southeast Asia .</p>

<p>The activist politicized Democrat judge Boasberg, overruled by the US Supreme Court (<a href="https://www.westernjournal.com/trump-admin-scores-second-scotus-win-allowing-move-forward-deportations/?ff_source=email&amp;ff_medium=elliance-patriot-update&amp;ff_campaign=CAN&amp;ff_content=2025-04-18">https://www.westernjournal.com/trump-admin-scores-second-scotus-win-allowing-move-forward-deportations/?ff_source=email&amp;ff_medium=elliance-patriot-update&amp;ff_campaign=CAN&amp;ff_content=2025-04-18</a> ), which said the Trump administration has the authority to remove the illegal aliens and which also said that Boasberg has no jurisdiction over the case because the case belongs in Texas, not D.C., alleges that “the fact that his court lacked jurisdiction over the matter does not excuse Trump administration officials from complying with his directives.” <a href="https://www.westernjournal.com/white-house-fires-back-judge-boasberg-issues-criminal-contempt-decision-trump-admin/?ff_source=email&amp;ff_medium=elliance-patriot-update&amp;ff_campaign=CAN&amp;ff_content=2025-04-18">https://www.westernjournal.com/white-house-fires-back-judge-boasberg-issues-criminal-contempt-decision-trump-admin/?ff_source=email&amp;ff_medium=elliance-patriot-update&amp;ff_campaign=CAN&amp;ff_content=2025-04-18</a><span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>It appears that Boasberg is so politicized that he doesn’t mind making a fool of himself if it puts out a false narrative for the white liberal press to use to demonize President Trump.</p>

They’ve probably been working on it since his health started failing.</p><p>Anyone who’s been reading me for a while knows my attitude toward Roman Catholicism can be described as openly hostile because of my <a href="https://caityjohnstone.medium.com/the-monster-pell-has-been-caged-at-last-4385cf552438">family history</a> with the Church’s sexual abuses under Cardinal Pell, but as far as popes go this one was decent. Francis had been an influential critic of Israel’s mass atrocities in Gaza, calling for <a href="https://crisismagazine.com/opinion/pope-francis-condemnation-of-gaza-genocide-reflects-traditional-catholic-doctrine">investigation of genocide allegations</a> and <a href="https://www.palestinechronicle.com/pope-francis-passing-his-key-statements-on-gaza-and-the-ongoing-genocide/">denouncing</a> the bombing of hospitals and the murder of humanitarian workers and civilians.

This is what Israel is dismissing as unacceptable.</p><p>The Gaza holocaust was never about freeing the hostages. This has been clear ever since Israel began aggressively bombing the place where the hostages are living, and it’s gotten clearer and clearer ever since. Last month Netanyahu <a href="https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/free-gaza-from-hamas-really-means">made it clear</a> that Israel intends to carry out Trump’s ethnic cleansing plans for the enclave even if Hamas fully surrenders.</p><p>When Washington’s podium people say the “war” in Gaza can end if Hamas releases the hostages and lays down their arms, they are lying. They are lying to ensure that the genocide continues.</p><p>When Israel apologists say “Release the hostages!” in response to criticisms of Israeli atrocities, they are lying. They know this has never had anything to do with hostages. They are lying to help Israel commit more atrocities.</p><p>It was never about the hostages. It was never about Hamas. What it’s really about was obvious from day one: purging Palestinians from Palestinian land. That’s all this has ever been.</p><p>❖</p><p>After executing 15 medical workers in Gaza and <a href="https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/israels-innocent-oopsie-poopsie-medical">getting caught lying</a> about it, the IDF has investigated itself and <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/apr/20/israeli-military-admits-professional-failures-over-gaza-paramedic-killings">attributed</a> the massacre to “professional failures” and “operational misunderstandings”, finding no evidence of any violation of its code of ethics.</p><p>It’s crazy to think about how much investigative journalism went into exposing this atrocity only to have Israel go “Yeah turns out we did an oopsie, no further action required, thank you to our allies for the latest <a href="https://news.antiwar.com/2025/04/20/with-eye-on-iran-us-sends-bunker-busting-bombs-to-israel/">shipment of bombs</a>.”</p><p>❖</p><p>The death toll from <a href="https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/the-us-just-massacred-civilians-in">Trump’s terrorist attack</a> on a Yemen fuel port <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/4/18/more-than-30-killed-80-injured-in-us-air-strikes-on-yemen-report">is now up to 80</a>, with 150 wounded. Again, the US has not even tried to claim this was a military target. They said they targeted this critical civilian infrastructure to hurt the economic interests of the Houthis.</p><p>Those who are truly anti-war don’t support Trump. Those who support Trump aren’t truly anti-war.</p><p>I still get people telling me I need to be nicer to Trump supporters because they’re potential allies in resisting war, which to me is just so silly. What are they even talking about? Trump supporters, per definition, currently support the one person who is most singularly responsible for the horrific acts of war we are seeing in the middle east right now. Telling me they’re my allies is exactly as absurd as telling me Biden supporters were my allies last year would have been, except nobody was ever dumb enough to try to make that argument.</p><p>If you still support Trump in April 2025 after seeing all his monstrous behavior in Gaza and Yemen, then we are on completely opposite sides. You might think you’re on the same side as me because you oppose war in theory, but when the rubber meets the road it turns out you’ll go along with any acts of mass military slaughter no matter how evil so long as they are done by a Republican. We are not allies, we are enemies. You side with the most egregious warmonger in the world right now, and I want your side to fail.</p><p>❖</p><p>People say “It’s the Muslims!” or “It’s the Jews!”</p><p>No, it’s the Americans. The US-centralized empire is responsible for most of our world’s problems.</p><p>It says so much about the strength of the imperial propaganda machine that this isn’t more obvious to more people.</p><p>________________</p><p><em>My work is </em><a href="https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2021/05/24/my-experiments-with-hacking-capitalism/"><em>entirely reader-supported</em></a><em>, so if you enjoyed this piece </em><a href="https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/about"><em>here are some options</em></a><em> where you can toss some money into my tip jar if you want to. </em><a href="https://caitlinjohnstone.com/"><em>Click here for links for my mailing list, social media, books, merch, and audio/video versions of each article</em></a><em>.

<p>Trump Wants a Russian Nuclear Power Plant as Part of the Peace Deal</p>
<p>Paul Craig Roberts</p>
<p>It was only yesterday that I asked what would be the next extraneous factor introduced into the Ukrainian peace deal, and it has already made its appearance.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Trump wants the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, or so the Wall Street Journal claims.</p>
<p>Zaporozhye is part of the territory that voted overwhelmingly to rejoin Russia, from which it had been torn by Soviet-era officials and again by Washington during the Yeltsin era.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>If only Washington could have had the sense to leave Russia alone, there would not be a Ukrainian conflict.</p>
<p>It is extraordinary that Washington thinks it can determine what is Russia and what is not.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>So far Trump’s peace deal includes handing over Ukraine’s rare earths to Washington, handing over the Russian gas pipeline that transports gas through Ukraine to Europe, and a Russian nuclear power plant.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Will Trump next want a US veto over Putin’s decisions?</p>
<p>None of these extraneous issues introduced into “peace negotiations” affects Putin’s commitment to negotiation, the implication being that Putin will accept any terms.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>One can’t help but wonder at what point Putin regrets not paying more attention to being prepared for conflict than engaging in fruitless negotiations and “peace deals” such as the Minsk Agreement, and quickly bringing a victorious close to the conflict that Washington and its Ukrainian puppet brought to Donbas Russians.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>This extraordinary blunder of trusting deals with the West has left Putin with a never-ending, ever-widening conflict with Britain and France threatening war with Russia. <span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>

<p>The Deportation Issue is:<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Do you prefer White Liberal States to Hispanic States?</p>
<p>Paul Craig Roberts.</p>
<p>Like Trump’s on-off-on tariffs, the US Supreme Courts rulings are off-on-maybe-we will see.</p>
<p>Last week the Court overruled Boasberg and said that Trump had the authority to deport illegal aliens.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>But by the time last Saturday arrived, the Court had changed its mind and “paused” the deportation of illegal entrants.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>The Court now has decided that those who had entered the US illegally, thus committing a crime, had the right to challenge their deportation in US courts.</p>
<p>Here is the Supreme Court’s ruling:<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>“The government is directed not to remove any member of the putative class of detainees from the United States until further order of this court.”<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Note the Court’s use of the word “putative.”<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>The Court is saying that it is uncertain that the illegals are illegals.  Once you have walked in, you are an American, right?  That seems to be the Democrats’ position.  What will the Court’s position be?</p>
<p>Amazing, isn’t it.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Millions of immigrant-invaders can enter America illegally, but they cannot be deported until they have had their day in court. To be clear, what the US Supreme Court has ruled is that there will be no further deportations.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>The 16 or 30 million, or whatever the figure, illegal entrants are here to stay.</p>
<p>The deportation hearings, which will be shopped to Democrat district and appeal courts, will take years and will not be resolved until Trump’s term is over.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>For decades American conservatives have thought that the most important reason to have a Republican president is Supreme Court Appointments, but now we see it matters not to have a Republican majority on the Supreme Court. The Court, whether Republican or Democrat, has no comprehension of American survival. The courts are preoccupied with grabbing power from the executive.</p>
<p>Just as the US took Texas, Colorado, California and the SouthWest from Mexico, the hispanics are taking it back with the aid of the Democrat Party and the US Supreme Court.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>And, of course, with the acquiesce<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>of Republicans who are incapable of fighting.</p>
<p>The question is: how much do we really care?<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Would you prefer to have white liberal Colorado, California, Arizona or Hispanic Colorado, California, and Arizona.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>I would prefer the Hispanics.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>They are more decent people than white liberals, and, unlike white liberals, they do not hate America.</p>
<p>Perhaps the ignorant insouciance of the American courts will have the unintended result of replacing anti-American blue states with Hispanic states.<span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>It would be a huge improvement in the quality of America. <span data-sanitized-class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>

Nasdaq Has Lost More than 3,000 Points Since Trump’s First Full Day in Office in 2025; the Pain Has Barely Begun

content:
<p><strong>By <a href="https://wallstreetonparade.com/about-3/about/">Pam Martens and Russ Martens</a>: April 21, 2025 ~</strong></p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/20/politics/hegseth-second-signal-chat-military-plans/index.html">clown show in Washington</a> should not divert your gaze from the circus at the Nasdaq stock market.</p>
<p>On January 20, 2025, the day that Donald Trump was sworn into office for his second term as President, the stock market was closed in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. On January 21, 2025, Trump’s first full day in office, the Nasdaq stock market closed at 19,756.7793. On Thursday, April 17, 2025 – the final day of trading last week because the stock market was closed for Good Friday on April 18 – the Nasdaq closed at 16,286.4476 – bringing its losses during Trump’s new reign in the White House to 3,470.3317 points or 17.57 percent. (The data comes from Dow Jones’ BigCharts.MarketWatch.com.)</p>

</div>
<p>There are legitimate questions now being raised as to whether we’re in a tech bubble that’s going to burst in a replay of the disastrous dot-com bust of 2000 to 2002. Last year, we wrote as follows about that period:</p>
<p>The Nasdaq reached a closing high of 5,048.62 on March 10, 2000. The Nasdaq then proceeded to lose 78 percent of its value over the next 2-1/2 years, reaching a closing low of 1,114.11 on October 9, 2002.</p>
<p>As late as February 2000, there was little recognition in mainstream media that the Nasdaq was on the cusp of entering one of the bloodiest selloffs in stock market history. CNNMoney <a href="https://money.cnn.com/2000/02/29/markets/markets_newyork/">reported as follows</a> on February 29, 2000:</p>
<p>“U.S. stocks rallied broadly Tuesday, sending every major market gauge higher and the Nasdaq composite index to its 12th record close of the year as investors snapped up technology shares expected to lead the economy’s growth.”</p>
<p>The same news report quoted Legg Mason’s Chief Market Strategist at the time, Richard Cripps, as follows: “People want to own these (technology) stocks, and that’s what limits any significant drop on these stocks and it’s what puts pressure on the remainder of the market.”</p>
<p>Less than two weeks later, investors began the stampede out of the market darlings.</p>
<p>In 2017, the legendary investor, Warren Buffett, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, penned his annual letter to shareholders. In it, he opined as follows:</p>
<p>“Above all, it’s our market system – an economic traffic cop ably directing capital, brains and labor – that has created America’s abundance. This system has also been the primary factor in allocating rewards.”</p>
<p>Unfortunately, Buffet was reflecting a nostalgic yearning for how <em>he wished</em> the U.S. markets still worked. He was not providing a genuine assessment of how U.S. markets are <em>actually functioning</em>.</p>
<p>In fact, federal regulators turning a blind eye to market rigging has made the exact opposite of Buffett’s analysis the true reality. The stock market has become a blindfolded traffic cop, <em>misallocating</em> capital, brains and labor. And a whole platoon of crooked and blindfolded market cops have replaced the market’s efficient pricing mechanism with Dark Pools and trading platforms hiding out in the shadows in the U.S. and abroad. (See <a href="https://wallstreetonparade.com/2024/05/jpmorgan-chase-and-its-regulators-are-hiding-dark-trading-secrets-at-the-largest-and-riskiest-u-s-bank/">JPMorgan Chase and Its Regulators Are Hiding Dark Trading Secrets at the Largest and Riskiest U.S. Bank</a>; or <a href="https://wallstreetonparade.com/2018/09/sec-citigroup-ran-a-secret-unregistered-stock-exchange-for-more-than-three-years/">Citigroup Ran a Secret, Unregistered Stock Exchange for More than Three Years</a>; or <a href="https://wallstreetonparade.com/2019/06/goldman-sachs-is-quietly-trading-stocks-in-its-own-dark-pools-on-4-continents/">Goldman Sachs Is Quietly Trading Stocks In Its Own Dark Pools on 4 Continents</a>; or <a href="https://wallstreetonparade.com/2017/02/wall-street-banks-are-trading-in-their-own-companys-stock-how-is-this-legal/">Wall Street Banks Are Trading in Their Own Company’s Stock: How Is This Legal?</a>)</p>
<p>What fueled the dot-com boom were corrupt research reports from the major trading houses on Wall Street, which urged investors to “buy” while the same research analysts were internally calling the stocks “crap.”</p>
<p>On April 28, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission settled its cases against the corrupt research practices with 10 Wall Street banks for $875 million. Investors lost more than $4 <em>trillion</em> but Wall Street got off with a payment of $875 <em>million</em>. No one went to jail. Just two individual analysts were charged: Jack Grubman of Citigroup’s former Salomon Smith Barney unit and Merrill Lynch’s Henry Blodget. Both men were barred from future affiliation with a broker-dealer and paid fines that were a fraction of the bonuses they had collected from their firms.</p>
<p>The same Wall Street banks that settled with the SEC in 2003 have continued to be allowed to issue research reports on companies for whom they underwrite stock and debt offerings. In addition, they are allowed by the SEC to trade these same stocks in their own Dark Pools, which are, effectively, unregulated stock exchanges that reside inside the banks. Among the banks that were fined in 2003 by the SEC and are operating Dark Pools today are: JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley and Merrill Lynch.</p>
<p>While many Wall Street stockbrokers are likely to urge their clients to buy the dips or at least stay put and ride out the tech market storm (since many are paid a fee based on their amount of assets under management), the reality is that it can take a very long time to get back to even after a major market bust.</p>
<p>After the dot-com bust, the Nasdaq was so discredited that it did not reset its March 2000 high until 15 years later. In fact, it remained 50 percent or more below that high until 2007. After the 1929 stock market crash, the stock market did not set a new high until 25 years later.</p>
<p>A <a href="https://investorsobserver.com/research/report-microsoft-took-17-years-to-recover-from-the-dot-com-crash-will-history-repeat-for-ai-stocks/">new report out from InvestorsObserver.com</a> reminds us that “Microsoft took 17 years to recover from the dot-com crash” and the report asks if history will repeat for artificial intelligence (AI) stocks. The report alarmingly notes that “The S&amp;P 500’s top 10 companies now make up 33% of the index’s total market capitalization – one of the highest levels on record.”</p>
<p>Cisco, another darling of the dot-com era, <a href="https://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/historical/default.asp?symb=csco&amp;closeDate=03%2F27%2F2000&amp;x=27&amp;y=25">reached a high of $80.06 on March 27, 2000</a>. It’s now <em>a quarter of a century later</em> and Cisco has not set a new high. Buying at market tops can, indeed, be hazardous to your wealth.</p>

The United States launched 201 overseas military operations between the end of World War II and 2001, and since then, others, including Afghanistan and Iraq." </p></blockquote><p>In other words, the US started more than 80% of all wars between 1946 and today. For a democratic society, one would have to conclude that the American people are irredeemably bellicose and consistently demand more wars. But as we know, that's exactly contrary to the truth. With the exception of <strong>George W. Bush's</strong> second term, Americans invariably voted for anti-war candidates. And yet, they always ended up getting more wars. Given that all these wars impoverish Americans and kill millions of people around the world, it should be important for us to understand where exactly this insatiable appetite for war originates and how it becomes policy.</p><h2>The hardwired pursuit of war</h2><p>Each new war is heavily marketed and duly justified to the voting public: we had to fight the Communists, then the terrorists or some dangerous new <strong>Hitler </strong>like <strong>Slobodan Milošević</strong>, <strong>Saddam Hussein</strong>, <strong>Moammar Ghaddafi</strong>, <strong>Bashar al Assad</strong> or <strong>Vladimir Putin</strong>. Tomorrow it'll be someone else's turn, always for one good reason or another. But the wars never end, and the propaganda only conceals the true incentives for war that must be systemic. Somehow, it's become hardwired in the Western systems of governance. These questions have been the motivating drive behind my research for decades now. In last year's article, I wrote as follows:</p><blockquote><p>"In untangling the causal factors behind the many crises we face today, the trail of breadcrumbs always leads to the international banking cartel which appears to have the determining influence shaping the system of governance under which our societies operate. ... In particular, the banking interests appear to be the key movers behind the perpetual warfare we are witnessing today. The better we understand the way the systems work, the more the saying, "all wars are bankers' wars" rings true. ... it has never been about democracy nor about freedom. It is strictly about banking and about the collateral. ... Truly, the <em>only</em> group in society to whom the control of collateral makes any difference are the bankers, making them the main group with the incentive to foment forever wars for control of resources."</p></blockquote><p>I recently came across an important and concrete corroboration of all this. In an article titled “<a href="https://www.thecanadafiles.com/articles/how-stolen-alberta-oil-keeps-creating-9-trillion-in-fraudulent-collateral">How stolen Alberta oil keeps creating $9 trillion in fraudulent collateral</a>,” political economist <strong>Regan Boychuk</strong> revealed important insights into the way incentives for war become policy. He made the case that the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 was about keeping Iraqi oil off the world market in order to maximize the value of 175 billion barrels of newly 'proven' Alberta oil resource. </p><p>At the time of the Iraq invasion, I worked as an oil market analyst and followed the events very closely, which is why I found Boychuk's case very surprising. As he meticulously traces the events in the US and Canadian oil politics and connects them to the Iraq invasion, Boychuk arrives at conclusions that are staggering, yet compelling and entirely credible. Before we dive in, I wanted to acknowledge the reader who brought this article to my attention, only I meanwhile lost track of who it was: thank you, this was very valuable to my research!</p><h2>The real objective of the 2003 Iraq invasion</h2><div data-sanitized-class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F051905c0-0444-4045-b763-66a219d447b2_1243x699.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM" data-sanitized-class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"><div data-sanitized-class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F051905c0-0444-4045-b763-66a219d447b2_1243x699.png" width="1243" height="699" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/051905c0-0444-4045-b763-66a219d447b2_1243x699.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":699,"width":1243,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":1423244,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":"https://alexkrainer.substack.com/i/161829793?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F051905c0-0444-4045-b763-66a219d447b2_1243x699.png","isProcessing":false,"align":null}' alt="" loading="lazy" data-sanitized-class="sizing-normal"></picture><div data-sanitized-class="image-link-expand"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container restack-image"><path d="M3 12a9 9 0 0 1 9-9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1 6.74 2.74L21 8"></path><path d="M21 3v5h-5"></path><path d="M21 12a9 9 0 0 1-9 9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1-6.74-2.74L3 16"></path><path d="M8 16H3v5"></path></div><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container view-image"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></div></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>Boychuk believes that the real objective of the US invasion of Iraq was not to steal Iraqi oil but to keep it off the market in order to boost oil prices and thereby maximize the value of collateral in the form of Alberta oil whose production had been ramping up since the late 1990s. “<em>The same day Marines pulled down Saddam Hussein’s statue, completing the occupation, the US officially recognized 175 billion barrels of bitumen reserves as proven and thus legal collateral for private money creation.” </em>That very day, then-<a href="https://torontolife.com/food/shifting-sands-and-ethics-at-the-globe-and-mail/">US Energy Secretary </a><strong><a href="https://torontolife.com/food/shifting-sands-and-ethics-at-the-globe-and-mail/">Edward Abraham</a></strong><a href="https://torontolife.com/food/shifting-sands-and-ethics-at-the-globe-and-mail/"> said</a> that, "From now on, when the Americans talked oil, they would be counting the reserves sitting beneath the forests of northern Alberta."</p><p>If that was indeed the plan, it was successful: when the US invaded Iraq on 20<sup>th</sup> March 2003, Brent crude oil was trading at around $25 per barrel.

For comparison, the total of Saudi Arabia’s magical, inexhaustible oil reserves supposedly amount to some 260 billion barrels.</p><h2>An epidemic of financial crimes</h2><p>We must ask, why was this done, who took control of the collateral, and what was it used for? As Boychuk explains, the control over the massive new collateral was taken by Rockefeller banking interests in the United States. “The bulk of the new credit was used to inflate the giant housing bubble…” The whole operation was, in fact, a massive criminal conspiracy: less than a year after the US takeover of Iraq, the FBI warned publicly about an “epidemic” of financial crimes that could become “the next Savings &amp; Loans crisis.” As we would soon find out, it did exactly that, only on a much, much bigger scale. The Alberta oil collateral was what made those financial crimes possible.</p><p>The $5 trillion mountain of mortgage debt inflated the epic 2000s housing bubble, whose inevitable bursting precipitated the Global Financial Crisis of 2008. As it usually goes with criminal conspiracies, profits accrued to the conspirators while the inevitable crash devastated the ordinary people: no large bank went bankrupt, no high-level banker faced criminal prosecution, but eight million American families ended up losing their homes. In the aftermath of the crisis, the bankers were rewarded for <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/world/goldman-sachs-boss-says-banks-do-gods-work-idUSTRE5A7195/">doing “God’s work</a>” with at least $16 trillion in bailouts as detailed in the 2011 Government Accountability Office audit. </p><div data-sanitized-class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0047170a-402a-4724-80f4-4b6a49ff002f_1248x624.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM" data-sanitized-class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"><div data-sanitized-class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0047170a-402a-4724-80f4-4b6a49ff002f_1248x624.png" width="1248" height="624" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/0047170a-402a-4724-80f4-4b6a49ff002f_1248x624.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":624,"width":1248,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":1708365,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":"https://alexkrainer.substack.com/i/161829793?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0047170a-402a-4724-80f4-4b6a49ff002f_1248x624.png","isProcessing":false,"align":null}' alt="" loading="lazy" data-sanitized-class="sizing-normal"></picture><div data-sanitized-class="image-link-expand"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container restack-image"><path d="M3 12a9 9 0 0 1 9-9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1 6.74 2.74L21 8"></path><path d="M21 3v5h-5"></path><path d="M21 12a9 9 0 0 1-9 9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1-6.74-2.74L3 16"></path><path d="M8 16H3v5"></path></div><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container view-image"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></div></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>Other, independent researchers arrived at higher figures, <a href="https://wallstreetonparade.com/2019/05/sullivan-cromwells-rodge-cohen-the-untold-story-of-the-feds-29-trillion-bailout/">as much as $29 trillion</a>.

As I mentioned, as these events were unfolding in the early 2000s, I worked as an oil market analyst. Oil market is the world's largest and most closely studied commodity market. As such, it has spawned a multi-billion dollar industry of real time data collection and news gathering, along with an entire army of analysts and institutions pouring over all that information every hour of every day, and producing thousands of market intelligence reports every year. </p><p>I studied hundreds of these reports, seeking to understand the economic fundamentals that drove oil's unprecedented price rise from $25 to $146 per barrel. None of those reports - literally none of them - took the finance aspect into consideration. Other than acknowledging the rather obvious war-for-oil relationship, none of the reports suggested the possibility of a criminal conspiracy driving the events. And of course, none of them came even close to predicting the developments during those years. That fact alone should be a huge revelation. </p><p>As I documented in my book, “Mastering Uncertainty in Commodities Trading,” the world’s leading oil market forecasters were collectively stuck in a groupthink echo-chamber, producing clever-sounding but worthless analyses, along with hopelessly wrong forecasts. I summarized the two-year forecasts by the world's leading institutions submitted to the U.S. Energy Information Administration in 2003:</p><div data-sanitized-class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F757105cd-9d65-44f5-b187-1508eeb9792d_975x729.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM" data-sanitized-class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"><div data-sanitized-class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F757105cd-9d65-44f5-b187-1508eeb9792d_975x729.png" width="975" height="729" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/757105cd-9d65-44f5-b187-1508eeb9792d_975x729.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":729,"width":975,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":480335,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":"https://alexkrainer.substack.com/i/161829793?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F757105cd-9d65-44f5-b187-1508eeb9792d_975x729.png","isProcessing":false,"align":null}' alt="" loading="lazy" data-sanitized-class="sizing-normal"></picture><div data-sanitized-class="image-link-expand"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container restack-image"><path d="M3 12a9 9 0 0 1 9-9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1 6.74 2.74L21 8"></path><path d="M21 3v5h-5"></path><path d="M21 12a9 9 0 0 1-9 9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1-6.74-2.74L3 16"></path><path d="M8 16H3v5"></path></div><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container view-image"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></div></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>All the submitted forecasts for 2005 were clustered between $19 and $24 per barrel. Indifferent to these authoritative predictions, crude oil reached over $66/bbl that year, more than three times higher than the average EIA forecast. Of course, like the rest of the analysts, I did not understand the real reasons behind this large-scale price event. </p><p>But the event did reinforce my view that analyzing economic fundamentals was an utter waste of time and that large-scale price events always unfold as trends. If prices are going up, you go long - that's it. Perhaps in another 20 years or so, we'll understand why they went up, but meanwhile, take authoritative market analysts and their forecasts with a large boulder of salt. This probably applies to “experts” in other domains too, including medicine, history, geopolitics, etc.</p><p>Returning to our story… the evidence presented by Regan Boychuk suggests that the events were driven by a high-level bankers' conspiracy...</p><h2>Random events or criminal conspiracies?</h2><p>Boychuk's compelling case that high-level banking interests determined the most momentous events in our recent history is profoundly disturbing. As we go about our lives, our perceptions of global events are shaped by the available information and by the narratives propagated through the media. These narratives never explore the possibility that important events stem from high-level conspiracies. </p><p>To the contrary, as soon as people begin to suspect foul play, the narrative police scornfully dismisses and ridicules the loopy conspiracy theorists. Instead, we're encouraged to believe that things just happen - randomly - because, honest errors, misguided regulations, political opportunism, incompetence and perhaps excessive greed. We are always promised 'lessons learned,' and all else gets flushed down the memory hole.</p><h2>One group always wins</h2><p>But we have to ask the question: if all those ingredients consistently benefit one group in society while harming all others, could it be that the group that benefited also orchestrated the events? Perhaps they had a hand in formulating the regulatory measures and legal loopholes exactly for the desired effect? Perhaps they also empowered the right “incompetent” politicians and instructed them to do their bidding? And perhaps they also created the system of incentives that drives the prey into their nets? </p><p>Long ago, a famous member of this group proclaimed, “Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws!” In other words, if the bankers hold real power, it matters little who the presidents, prime ministers or kings are. <strong>Napoleon Bonaparte</strong> understood this all too well when he said that, “<em>When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation</em>.”</p><h2>The sporadic revelations</h2><p>This all cuts to the obscure means and relationships that determine the ways our societies are governed. They are obscure because they couldn't withstand the light of day, and therefore must be concealed and difficult to discern. However, they aren't entirely invisible and if we pay careful attention, every so often, evidence about the way things really work surfaces through unexpected disclosures, testimonies or through patterns of events. Last February for example, former British Prime Minister <strong>Liz Truss</strong> gave us <a href="https://twitter.com/BGatesIsaPyscho/status/1761303839100076443">a stonker of a revelation</a>. Truss appeared in <strong>Steve Bannon</strong>'s War Room and said this:</p><blockquote><p>"What I found out when I got into No. 10 is, I thought that if I got to the top of the tree, I would be able to implement those conservative policies... And what I discovered was that I was not holding the levers. The levers were held by the Bank of England, by the Office of Budget Responsibility, they weren't held by the Prime Minister or the Chancellor..."</p></blockquote><p>Truss went on to point out the obvious problem with this: you can sack the Prime Minister, but you can't sack the BOE officials who hold the levers of power. Around the same time of that revelation, <strong>Glenn Beck</strong> dropped a similar clue. In an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64r6ko9o51o&amp;pp=ygUZZ2xlbm4gYmVjayB0dWNrZXIgY2FybHNvbg%3D%3D">interview with </a><strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64r6ko9o51o&amp;pp=ygUZZ2xlbm4gYmVjayB0dWNrZXIgY2FybHNvbg%3D%3D">Tucker Carlson</a></strong> published on 21 February 2024 he shared a story of his encounter with <strong>George W. Bush</strong>:</p><blockquote><p>"I thought of something George Bush told me in the Oval Office. I was asking about the policies and how they were going to change, and he said, 'Glenn, don’t worry, whoever sits behind this desk, in that chair, is going to have the same advice given by the same advisors and they’ll realize, the President’s hands are tied.' I walked out of that room horrified… Why do we even have elections?"</p></blockquote><p>It would be interesting to know who exactly were these <em>same advisors</em> that give advice to US Presidents whose hands are tied? Was it they who advised George Bush to invade Iraq in 2003? Were they doing God's work then, because that same <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2005/oct/07/iraq.usa">George W. said</a> that, "God would tell me, 'George, go fight these terrorists in Afghanistan, and I did. And then God would tell me 'George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq.' And I did..." Whoever this God was, it's important for us to recognize that the relationships which George W. and Liz Truss revealed, have been the defining feature of our “democracies” for a very long time.</p><div data-sanitized-class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9cbec52b-1b28-41a9-b7f1-7c1862d53074_1183x666.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM" data-sanitized-class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"><div data-sanitized-class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9cbec52b-1b28-41a9-b7f1-7c1862d53074_1183x666.png" width="1183" height="666" data-attrs='{"src":"https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/9cbec52b-1b28-41a9-b7f1-7c1862d53074_1183x666.png","srcNoWatermark":null,"fullscreen":null,"imageSize":null,"height":666,"width":1183,"resizeWidth":null,"bytes":1762155,"alt":null,"title":null,"type":"image/png","href":null,"belowTheFold":true,"topImage":false,"internalRedirect":"https://alexkrainer.substack.com/i/161829793?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9cbec52b-1b28-41a9-b7f1-7c1862d53074_1183x666.png","isProcessing":false,"align":null}' alt="" loading="lazy" data-sanitized-class="sizing-normal"></picture><div data-sanitized-class="image-link-expand"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container restack-image"><path d="M3 12a9 9 0 0 1 9-9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1 6.74 2.74L21 8"></path><path d="M21 3v5h-5"></path><path d="M21 12a9 9 0 0 1-9 9 9.75 9.75 0 0 1-6.74-2.74L3 16"></path><path d="M8 16H3v5"></path></div><div data-sanitized-class="pencraft pc-reset icon-container view-image"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></div></div></div></div></a><figcaption data-sanitized-class="image-caption">Lloyd Blankfein and God</figcaption></figure></div><p>In 1924, Britain's former finance minister, <strong>Reginald McKenna</strong> said that, "... banks can and do create money. And they who control the credit of the nation direct the policy of governments and hold in the hollow of their hands the destiny of the people." In 1844, British Prime Minister <strong>Benjamin Disraeli</strong> said that, “The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes.” <strong>Sir William Pitt</strong>, Prime Minister in 1770 wrote that, “A long train of these practices has at length unwillingly convinced me that there is something behind the throne greater than the King himself.” As we now know, that <em>something</em> is the moneylending oligarchy or the financiers.</p><h2>West’s pathogenic march of history</h2><p>Indeed, the role of financiers largely defined the pathogenic march of Western civilization. This may sound harsh, but the same basic methods they used to drive eight million American families into foreclosure while causing the deaths of over a million innocent Iraqis have been employed and refined for centuries now. The quest for Alberta oil was motivated by the same pathological greed as the quest of gold, copper, tin, rubber, coffee, spices, cobalt, or lithium in other parts of the world at different times.</p><p>We can now better understand how and why, since the 15th century, Western colonial powers destroyed six major indigenous civilizations around the world (Mayas, Incas and Aztecas, India, China and Japan), along with thousands of lesser cultures, tribes and kingdoms. In the process, the colonial powers largely depopulated the native peoples and replaced them with uprooted slaves. The driving motivation has always been an economic one: an unrestrained quest for collateral needed to fuel the financiers’ wealth-extraction process. As <strong>James Galbraith</strong> reminded us, “There is no such thing in economic life as a nonfinancial event ... Finance is the <em>only</em> way to understand the economy.”</p><p>Historian <strong>Ramsay MacMullen</strong> said that if we are to interpret history correctly, we need to understand the motivations of groups and individuals who shaped it. I believe that Regan Boychuk's expose on Alberta collateral contributed an important insight, not only into the bankers' motivations, but also the means and ways by which they execute their plans. The events around Alberta oil, Iraq invasion, the housing bubble, and the subsequent bank bailouts were certainly not random: it is clear that they were orchestrated by powerful interests in our society for their own benefit and without regard for the harm they caused to so many millions of their victims.</p><h2>It’s time to change course</h2><p>The fact that no high-level banker was criminally prosecuted for any of this suggests that the perpetrators and their enablers who walked away with a colossal loot were never subject to law enforcement in the same way that the rest of us are. The impunity they enjoy under our magnificent democracies virtually guarantees that they will keep on doing it. In fact, they're doing it now: today we're witnessing a scramble for Ukraine's resources and a revamped scramble for Africa. The drive to destroy Russia is motivated by the desire to take control of Russian resources. </p><p>The financiers and their minions will never relent unless and until they face accountability. But we need to do more than just demand accountability for the crimes committed. If we want to build a world of peace and prosperity, we'll have to rewrite our societies' operating systems. We, the people, must demand sovereignty and empower ourselves to plan a future rooted in a genuine love of humanity. How do we do that? We must simply claim that sovereignty and use it. This place - this planet - is our birthright; we do not need anyone's permission to claim it.</p><div data-attrs='{"url":"https://alexkrainer.substack.com/subscribe?","text":"Subscribe","language":"en"}' data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM" data-sanitized-class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor"><div data-sanitized-class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div data-sanitized-class="preamble"><p data-sanitized-class="cta-caption">Alex Krainer's Substack is a reader-supported publication.
