It was pretty obvious even before February 28th that the US economy was grinding to a halt, even as inflation was already working up a head of steam. But then came war. 

We are going to get a globe-shaking economic conflagration erupting from the void that was the Persian Gulf commodity fountain. That includes between 20% and 50% of all the basic commodities that drive global GDP, including crude oil, LPGs, LNG, ammonia, urea, sulfur, helium, and sundry more.

Accordingly, the global share of crucial industrial commodities that now stand in harm’s way. This includes both those directly transiting the Strait of Hormuz and also the share of supply from the wider Middle Eastern region that is also exposed to the current Iranian War disruptions but is delivered by pipeline, train, or alternative waterways like the Red Sea/Suez Canal route.

This ballooning dislocation of daily global commodity flows will have a double whammy effect: It will both cause production and output to fall immediately in response to soaring input costs or limited availability—even as it encourages the central banks to “help” by printing more inflationary money.

This all adds up to a bout of classic stagflation, but it is not going to be merely the mildly painful type that unfolded during the 1970s. After all, despite a 120% rise in the price level during the decade, it wasn’t a total wipeout when measured from the vantage point of real median family income.

As it happened, the 1970s stagflation came on the heels of what had been an actual Golden Age by the standards of history between 1954 and 1969. During that period, real median family incomes rose from $39,700 to $66,870 or by a robust 3.53% per annum.

Of course, that uphill march of Main Street prosperity slowed sharply during the inflationary 1970s, but the blue line in the chart below did at least keep drifting higher. So between 1969 and 1980, real median family incomes grew by a not very impressive 0.61% per annum, but the direction of travel was still higher.

But here’s the thing. The US economy of the 1970s was able to cope with the pressures of high inflation, oil, and other commodity shocks and the stop-and-go disruptions of a Federal Reserve that had been newly released from the disciplinary effects of the Bretton Woods gold standard. In large part that was because the aggregate level of debt on the US economy was relatively modest.

Total public and private debt in 1970 stood at $1.5 trillion, representing just 147% of GDP, as shown in the graph below. Moreover, the latter was the long-time national leverage ratio (total debt divided by national income) through historic times of thick and thin, going all the way back to 1870.

Moreover, even after the large government deficits of the 1970s and a surge of inflation-driven private borrowing during the decade, total US debt stood at $4.6 trillion by 1980. That was just 162% of GDP.

In a word, the US economy during this decade of stagflation was battered by unprecedented peacetime inflation, but it was not yet smothered by crushing debt. As shown by the graph, the soaring national leverage ratio did not really leap skyward until after the mid-1980s, when Alan Greenspan took the helm at the Fed and launched the US (and the world) into a four-decade spree of money-printing and what amounts to Keynesian central banking.

As a consequence, total public and private debt is in a wholly different zip code today. Debt outstanding now totals nearly $108 trillion and weighs in at 343% of national income (GDP). That is to say, as we head into the next stagflationary era, the US economy will be carrying two turns of extra debt relative to income than was the case in 1970.

That does make a difference. The national leverage ratio during the 1970s averaged about 153% of GDP, meaning that had it been maintained since then total debt outstanding would now be $48 trillion. As it is, however, the actual leverage ratio currently stands at 342% of GDP and outstanding debt totals nearly $108 trillion.

So the math tells you all you need to know. The US economy is now lugging $60 trillion more debt than would be the case if the 1970s average national leverage ratio had been maintained. And even at a weighted average 5% interest rate across all sectors of the economy, that’s $3 trillion per year of more interest expense and therefore less cash flow available for investment and discretionary spending.

Of course, Keynesian money printers and statists say “No sweat,” and view debt as a growth elixir rather than a burden on commerce and supply side output. But we beg to disagree, and strenuously so.

The empirical results tell you otherwise. For instance, real economic growth (final sales of domestic product) averaged 3.92% per annum during the 1954 to 1970 era when the national leverage rate was at or below its historical 150% norm. By contrast, since the pre-crisis peak in Q4 2007, real growth has slowed to just 1.97%.

That’s right. The trend growth rate has been reduced by fully 50% after the economy-wide leverage ratio shot the moon during the last 35 years.

Moreover, in the case of the industrial core of the US economy, the growth rate has not just slowed; it has actually come to a screeching halt.

Thus, between 1954 and 1969, the industrial production index rose by a robust 4.5% per annum. During the years since the debt-fueled financial crisis of 2008, however, there has been no growth at all in the industrial sector of the US economy.

On a net basis, the combined output of the manufacturing, utilities, mining, and energy sectors has amounted to one big fat goose egg.

So the question recurs. Why did we get so much debt and so little real growth after the Fed went full-on Keynesian under Greenspan and his heirs and assigns?

The answer is actually not that mysterious. The explosion of debt from $1.5 trillion to $108 trillion during the 55 years since 1970 happened not because consumers, businesses, and government suddenly became infected with a voracious appetite for debt, but because the central bank falsified its price via endless financial repression and pegging yields far below their natural free market clearing levels.

At the same time, the “cheap” debt that landed on US balance sheets did not go into a huge surge in productive investment, but instead fueled decades of financial asset inflation, leveraged speculation, and financial engineering in the corporate sector. The net result was malinvestment and wasted capital, labor, and other economic resources on an epic scale.

For instance, if the dramatic increase in the national leverage ratio since the heyday of prosperity during the 1950s and 1960s had actually gone into productive uses, it would necessarily have shown up in its counterpart—the national investment rate.

But no cigar there, of course. In fact, the 8% of GDP investment ratio (business capex and housing) has now dropped to just 4%. That is to say, all of the incremental borrowing went into government spending, current consumption, and financial asset inflation, not productive assets capable of generating future contributions to growth and living standards.

This brings us to the impending stagflation. As it was prior to February 28th, real output growth had already stalled. According to the real GDP statistics, growth between Q4 2025 and Q4 2025 posted at just 1.78%. But virtually all of that was due to the AI bubble-driven massive increase in spending for data centers and other AI infrastructure.

This massive diversion of capital was not owing to an overpowering use case for AI or the fact of superior returns on AI investments. In fact, there has been virtually no return on AI assets at all, with the surge of capital spending amounting essentially to a new version of “Build it and they will come.”

But after February 28th and Trump’s initiation of a war in the Persian Gulf that can’t be won and which will send the global economy into a tailspin like nothing seen since the mid-1970s, we are truly off to the stagflationary races.

Energy and fuel costs have already soared. Most importantly, the workhorse hydrocarbon of the US economy—diesel fuels used by the nation’s massive fleet of trucks, rail, and farm tractors—is already above its 2022 level at $5.40 per gallon and still climbing.

Likewise, on the very eve of the planting season fertilizer costs have already doubled, meaning that application rates will be cut back, yields will fall, and food prices will be soaring by the 4th of July when the USDA crop condition reports pretty much forecast the fall production levels.

And, of course, no one took into account that the natural gas processing plants of Qatar were fastened at the hip to the semiconductor plants in South Korea and Taiwan and from there to the entire manufacturing sector of the world. All of this through the life line of helium gas extracted from natural processing plants.

In short, these soaring commodity prices are going to push the inflation indices higher, even as industrial output contracts owing to rising costs and limited availability. Labor markets are frozen as much as they were in the depth of lockdowns from April 2020, while new home sales are evaporating. 

That’s stagflation by any other name, but this time the Fed will not be in a position to do much about either inflation or recessionary pressures.

The inflation genie is now out of the bottle but the Fed can not really slam on the brakes ala Volcker because the US economy is staggering under $60 trillion of incremental debt.

At the same time, the war and the erupting commodity inflation cycle it has engendered means that it can’t turn on the printing presses to “stimulate,” either.

So, as we said: This is not your grandfather’s Stagflation. Not by a long shot.

Developers are considering ways to quantum-proof the world’s oldest cryptocurrency as the threat of this computing moves beyond a hypothetical.

What to know:

• Google researchers say a sufficiently powerful quantum computer could break Bitcoin’s core cryptography in under nine minutes, raising concerns that such a threat could emerge as soon as 2029.
• Developers are exploring multiple defenses, including removing on-chain public keys (BIP 360), adopting hash-based post-quantum signatures like SPHINCS+, and using a commit/reveal scheme to shield mempool transactions.
• Additional proposals such as Hourglass V2 would slow the spending of about 1.7 million already-exposed bitcoins, including Satoshi Nakamoto’s, though any changes face debate and slow adoption in Bitcoin’s decentralized governance system.

Quantum computers capable of breaking the Bitcoin blockchain do not exist today. Developers, however, are already considering a wave of upgrades to build defenses against the potential threat, and rightfully so, as the threat is no longer hypothetical.

This week, Google published research suggesting that a sufficiently powerful quantum computer could crack Bitcoin’s core cryptography in under nine minutes — one minute faster than the average Bitcoin block settlement time. Some analysts believe such a threat could become a reality by 2029.

Stakes are high: About 6.5 million bitcoin tokens, worth hundreds of billions of dollars, sit in addresses a quantum computer could directly target. Some of these coins belong to Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. Besides, the potential compromise would damage Bitcoin’s core tenets – “trust the code “and “sound money.”

Here’s what the threat looks like, along with proposals under consideration to mitigate it.

Two ways a quantum machine could attack Bitcoin

Let’s first understand the vulnerability before discussing the proposals.

Bitcoin’s security is built on a one-way mathematical relationship. When you create a wallet, a private key and a secret number are generated, from which a public key is derived.

Spending bitcoin tokens requires proving ownership of a private key, not by revealing it, but by using it to generate a cryptographic signature that the network can verify.

This system is foolproof because modern computers would take billions of years to break elliptic curve cryptography — specifically the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) — to reverse-engineer the private key from the public key. So, the blockchain is said to be computationally impossible to compromise.

But a future quantum computer can change this one-way street into a two-way street by deriving your private key from the public key and draining your coins.

The public key is exposed in two ways: From coins sitting idle onchain (the long-exposure attack) or coins in motion or transactions waiting in the memory pool (short-exposure attack).

Pay-to-public key (P2PK) addresses (used by Satoshi and early miners) and Taproot (P2TR), the current address format activated in 2021, are vulnerable to the long exposure attack. Coins in these addresses do not need to move to reveal their public keys; the exposure has already happened and is readable by anyone on earth, including a future quantum attacker. Roughly 1.7 million BTC sits in old P2PK addresses — including Satoshi’s coins.

The short exposure is tied to the mempool — the waiting room of unconfirmed transactions. While transactions sit there awaiting inclusion in a block, your public key and signature are visible to the entire network.

A quantum computer could access that data, but it would have only a brief window — before the transaction is confirmed and buried under additional blocks — to derive the corresponding private key and act on it.

Initiatives

BIP 360: Removing public key

As noted earlier, every new Bitcoin address created using Taproot today permanently exposes a public key onchain, giving a future quantum computer a target that never goes away.

The Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) 360 removes the public key permanently embedded on-chain and visible to everyone by introducing a new output type called Pay-to-Merkle-Root (P2MR).

Recall that a quantum computer studies the public key, reverse-engineers the exact shape of the private key and forges a working copy. If we remove the public key, the attack has nothing to work from. Meanwhile, everything else, including Lightning payments, multi-signature setups and other Bitcoin features, remains the same.

However, if implemented, this proposal protects only new coins going forward. The 1.7 million BTC already sitting in old exposed addresses is a separate problem, addressed by other proposals below.

SPHINCS+ / SLH-DSA: Hash-based post-quantum signatures

SPHINCS+ is a post-quantum signature scheme built on hash functions, avoiding the quantum risks facing elliptic curve cryptography used by Bitcoin. While Shor’s algorithm threatens ECDSA, hash-based designs like SPHINCS+ are not seen as similarly vulnerable.

The scheme was standardized by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in August 2024 as FIPS 205 (SLH-DSA) after years of public review.

The tradeoff for security is size. While current bitcoin signatures are 64 bytes, SLH-DSA are 8 kilobytes (KB) or more in size. As such, adopting SLH-DSA would sharply increase block space demand and raise transaction fees.

As a result, proposals such as SHRIMPS (another hash-based post-quantum signature scheme) and SHRINCS have already been introduced to reduce signature sizes without sacrificing post-quantum security. Both build on SHPINCS+ while aiming to retain its security guarantees in a more practical, space-efficient form suitable for blockchain use.

Tadge Dryja’s Commit/reveal scheme: An emergency brake for the mempool

This proposal, a soft fork suggested by Lightning Network co-creator Tadge Dryja, aims to protect transactions in the mempool from a future quantum attacker. It does so by separating transaction execution into two phases: Commit and Reveal.

Imagine informing a counterparty that you will email them, then actually sending an email. The former is the commit phase, and the latter is the reveal.

On the blockchain, this means you first publish a sealed fingerprint of your intention — just a hash, which reveals nothing about the transaction. The blockchain timestamps that fingerprint permanently. Later, when you broadcast the actual transaction, your public key becomes visible — and yes, a quantum computer watching the network could derive your private key from it and forge a competing transaction to steal your funds.

But that forged transaction is immediately rejected. The network checks: does this spend have a prior commitment registered on-chain? Yours does. The attacker’s does not — they created it moments ago. Your pre-registered fingerprint is your alibi.

The issue, however, is the increased cost due to the transaction being broken into two phases. So, it’s described as an interim bridge, practical to deploy while the community works on building quantum defences.

Hourglass V2: Slowing the spending of old coins

Proposed by developer Hunter Beast, Hourglass V2 targets the quantum vulnerability tied to roughly 1.7 million BTC held in older, already-exposed addresses.

The proposal accepts that these coins could be stolen in a future quantum attack and seeks to slow the bleeding by limiting sales to one bitcoin per block, to avoid a catastrophic overnight mass liquidation that could crater the market.

The analogy is a bank run: you cannot stop people from withdrawing, but you can limit the pace of withdrawals to prevent the system from collapsing overnight. The proposal is controversial because even this limited restriction is seen by some in the Bitcoin community as a violation of the principle that no external party can ever interfere with your right to spend your coins.

Conclusion

These proposals are not yet activated, and Bitcoin’s decentralized governance, spanning developers, miners and node operators, means any upgrade is likely to take time to materialize.

Still, the steady flow of proposals predating this week’s Google report suggests the issue has long been on developers’ radar, which may help temper market concerns.

In today’s episode of the Free Thought Project podcast, hosts Matt Agorist and Jason Bassler sit down with Sam Knight, the founder of MindlessHQ and creator of the Mindless app. Sam brings a wealth of experience from his years in the mental health field, where he realized a profound truth: fixing mental health requires the same disciplined practice—like meditation and intentionality—as fixing physical health. His work now centers on combating the modern epidemic of digital addiction, helping people break free from the algorithms that keep them endlessly scrolling and entirely disconnected from the real world.

The conversation kicks off with a look at the staggering number of hours the average person spends staring at a screen, touching on the very real possibility that we aren’t far from a reality where people check into rehab facilities specifically for screen addiction. From there, the discussion dives deep into how these algorithms are deliberately engineered to foster the intense divides we see in society today. The episode explores the psychological toll of platforms that constantly feed users a diet of violence, giving the masses 24/7 access to trauma in high-definition 4K. This constant digital bombardment isn’t just hijacking attention; it is literally stealing time by removing the ability to be present in everyday life. The dialogue examines how screen time is effectively severing humanity from our food sources, from nature, and from genuine human interaction—and debates whether this profound alienation is an accidental byproduct of big tech or a deliberate mechanism of control.

As the episode progresses, the focus shifts to the dark and isolating implications of humans becoming increasingly addicted to AI companions, pushing society further into synthetic relationships. The show reflects on what has been lost since the era well before screen time was even a concept, while Sam offers actionable insights on how to teach the younger generation to tap into that forgotten, analog way of living. Finally, the episode wraps up with “The White Pill,” highlighting the brilliant irony of using the algorithm to beat the system at its own game. Sam explains how the Mindless app combats these systemic issues by acting as a mindful buffer, actively driving people to practice being present before they can even open a social media app, ultimately giving them the power to reclaim their cognitive sovereignty.

The post Sam Knight – Mindless to Mindful: Escaping The Digital Drug of Social Media appeared first on Activist Post.

We are getting subjected to more and more toxicity, driving disease and humanitarian suffering to unprecedented levels. Big Government, instead of protecting us, are having a hand in making things worse.

In retrospect of this, consider, the rising cancer rates. For instance, there are very concerning reports indicating higher abnormally aggressive colorectal cancer rates in young people…

In spite of advances in healthcare technology, Big Pharma’s influence on regulatory processes is a major hinderance, favoring extremely profitable drug treatment models over more effective alternative approaches to cancer. 

It has been known that throughout history a number of brilliant innovative pioneers with their cheap, natural, non-toxic cancer cures have found themselves having major blood-shedding wrangles with the big boys heading the medical establishment. 

Regardless of efficacy, these innovative pioneers with their cheap alternative cancer cures were perceived by the medical establishment as a massive financial threat, as they could undercut their business. So they had to be stopped at all costs. 

The medical establishment’s usual line of attack has been legal action, harassment, ridicule, silencing, invalidation (even when knowing their innovations do cure cancer), ignorance and arrogance… -How evil are these government and big business people?

While it can be said that there are no guaranteed cancer cures, some treatment model approaches are more effective than others. A number of alternative cancer therapies have shown to be quite effective. 

Further, immune system building strategies are essential for building a frontline defense against cancer. Whether it’s for preventative measures, optimal health or as a support to cancer cures (more later).   

-Let’s look at reviving some of those hidden alternative cancer cures. Here is an all-too-brief overview: 

Remember, it has been said that they are far more effective than Big Pharma’s allopathic approaches to treating cancer.

Royal Raymond Rife (1888-1971) -the Universal High-Magnification Time-Lapse Microscope (aka “The Rife Machine”) for cancer cures.

After successfully curing a number of cancer patients using his ‘Rife Technology,’ the Rockefeller owned American Medical Association (AMA) successfully laid this technology to rest permanently, by closing down his laboratory set ups and seizing his equipment. Essentially, Rife refused to hand over the rights of his work to the AMA because he saw powerful ‘money interests’ as hidden ulterior motives for obtaining his technology.

Rife’s ‘cancer curing machine’ would not be on offer to the world at large because the AMA and the medical/pharmaceutical establishment to this very day, don’t want patients’ cured. –That would mean customers lost and no more revenue. So they keep promising cures that never come, as they continue coming up with toxic treatments that only treat symptoms (while ignoring cause and safe natural treatments that heal), virtually guaranteeing the cancer will return and thus repeat business for the cancer industry.

After years of ensuing court cases with the big boys of the cancer establishment, having little money at his disposal for fighting back, Rife exiled in Mexico to avoid imprisonment in the USA – the pressures of harassment related to the legal battles and constant threat of imprisonment had been too much for him. -Rife died of alcoholism a broken man.

Laetrile Cancer Treatment

From his very convincing research, Biochemist Dr Ernst Krebs claimed that cancer is a disease, caused by a lack of vitamin B17 (laetrile) in the diet. He suggests that stress factors lead to cancer due to an exposure of a lack of this vitamin.

A good source of information to back up the above statement comes from a study on the isolated indigenous Hunzas people in the Himalayas. No incidents of cancer had been seen there before western-world lifestyle had intervened. They were found to have a B17-rich diet, eating apricot kernels and other stone-based fruits, to which this vitamin is rich in: 

Big Pharma tried to patent B17 and thus make it their property, but failed. Consequently, through the media they launched an out and out attack against the use of this vitamin and its advocates.

The proof of the effectiveness of B17 is overwhelming, coming from many sources besides Krebs. Further studies on isolated non-cancerous populations free of the westernized diet and its high toxins have also been carried out. 

If you are interested in the findings I highly recommend that you check out some of the the excellent books available online which discusses the subject of vitamin B17 (laetrile) and its claimed cancer cures in great detail. For example, check out the work of the late great Dr John A. Richardson and his grandson who now carries on with the legacy (see below video).

World Without Cancer: The Lost Cures -By Dr. Jane Ruby

*Note: There are other nutritional deficiencies in the diet besides vitamin B17 (laetrile). More on this later.

The Hoxsey Remedies

Developed and handed down from successive generations, Harry Hoxey was able to use a herbal remedy and an externally applied paste to successfully treat cancer. The herbal formula detoxified the body and boosted the immune system, while the external paste got rid of tumors on the outside. From this, 17 private cancer clinics had been established throughout the USA.

In the mid 1950’s, a number of doctors reviewed Hoxsey’s work and came to the conclusion:

‘‘This clinic now has under treatment or observation between four and five thousand cancer patients. It handles approximately ninety patients per day. Approximately 100 new patients per week come to the Clinic seeking relief, and the evidence we have seen indicates that approximately 90 percent of these are terminal cases. 

Over the years the clinic has accumulated more than 10,000 case histories, photographic studies and X-ray studies from all over the United States, Canada, Alaska, Mexico, Hawaii, the Central Zone and elsewhere. We find as a fact that the Hoxsey Cancer Clinic in Dallas, Texas, is successfully treating pathologically proven cases of cancer, both internal and external, without the use of surgery, radium or X-ray…        

Some of those presented before us have been free of symptoms as long as twenty-four years, and the physical evidence indicates that they are all enjoying exceptional health at this time…We are willing to assist this Clinic in any way possible in bringing this treatment to the American public. We are willing to use it…on our own patients.

-The above statement represents the unanimous findings of this Committee. In testimony thereof we hereby attach our signatures.’’

-S. Edgard Bond M.D., Willard G. Palmer M.D., Hans Kalm M.D, A.C. Timbs M.D., Frederick H. Thurston M.D. D.O., E.E. Loffler M.D., H.B. Mueller M.D., R.C. Bowie M.D., Benjamin F. Bowers M.D., Roy O. Yeats M.D

-Having got the news the AMA tried to buy the treatment. Hoxsey refused on the grounds that they would not give it to poor people free of charge.

A long legal and political battle enraged with much media interest. Several thousand people testified they had been cured using Hoxsey’s work while the AMA refused third party evaluations. In spite of these circumstances favoring Hoxey, and winning his case, the medical fraternity soon branded him a quack or charlatan. 

He continued his treatment over the years and was arrested about a 100 times! Each arrest he was able make bail and continue. The fact that no patient would testify against him and the acting District Attorney’s brother was cured by his methods may well have been the reasons for his continual reprieve. Eventually however the FDA managed to seize the remedies from the patients’ homes and shut down the clinics. 

Ironically, Hoxsey contracted bladder cancer and had to be operated on since his methods did not work on him.

Gerson therapy 

The body’s natural healing mechanisms break down as a consequence of long-term poor diet, toxicity build up and stress, as disease sets in. This, for example, is how cancer sets in, as the body has become energetically imbalanced, regulatory abilities failing, immune system damaged…

-In relation to this, the idea behind Gerson Therapy is to revitalize the body, restore it to its normal functioning through the use of organic fruit and vegetables. -Totally consistent with the the Ancient Greek physician Hippocrates statement: “Let your medicine be your food and your food be your medicine.” 

For healing, Gerson Therapy dietary regimes with its juicing have not just managed to detoxify, repair the body, restore optimal immune system functioning for vitality…, but have also reversed life-threatening illnesses such as cancer in the healing process. 

As a backlash, the success of Gerson Therapy, founded by Doctor Max Gerson, was given the full  medical establishment mainstream media blackout. Even records of its success in a 1946 Congressional testimony were completely erased. 

As the years went by, Gerson therapy was then carried on by Charlotte Gerson under the tutelage of her father Max Gerson. Charlotte lived to well into her nineties. -A testimony to how this amazing nutritional therapy has preserved life. Not just for Charlotte to have lived to such a ripe old age, but also for thousands of others in relation to their cancer cures.

This powerful, potent, time-tested cancer healing option continues to work well for so many… 

Finally

That concludes this very brief overview of just some of the hidden alternative said cancer cures. Other cancer cures include the application of antioxidants and alternative approaches to metabolic nutritional therapy.  

Remember, the essential features of a good cancer prevention diet are:

1.The food is immune system building. 2.Organic food recommended. 3.A vegetarian diet is recommended. 4.A good regular supply of fresh fruit and vegetables with 5.A good share of fiber and whole-grain foods and 6.stay well hydrated.

7.Always keep up with exercising and 8.Make sure to get good sleep.

The post Reviving Hidden Alternative Cancer Cures appeared first on Activist Post.

Iain Davis, “disillusioned blogger”, distinguished author, and (by his own admission) recreational vaper, was kind enough to answer a few questions via email.

We spoke about Iain’s plot to instigate a global mind-revolution, among other topics that have surely earned him a prominent spot on various government lists.

Iain is a terrific journalist and I am grateful he took the time to chat with me.

Enjoy!

*

RW: In December you gave a speech at the Mass Non-Compliance Protest Against (UK) Digital ID. A rousing address, too, if I may say so. Correct me if I’m mistaken, but you typically don’t bother with protests. As a journalist and writer, you have undoubtedly grappled with the “action vs. inaction” debate. Why do you think writing is a more valuable use of your time than protesting? Sometimes I receive angry emails from readers who tell me to shut up and “do something” instead of blogging. Maybe they’re right?

Iain Davis: I think protest has its place and it is certainly supposed to be a democratic right, though it is being shut down everywhere. It is one of the ways we can demonstrate to those who claim the authority to rule us that we are not willing to go along with their harebrained schemes.

That said, in my opinion, protesting against a wholly corrupt and venal power structure in the hope it will respond favourably is a complete waste of time.

Asking a slave master to be more generous is pointless. Protests of this kind serve as rallying calls to the disaffected but to believe they will make a material difference to the government policy is wishful thinking.

I attended the mass non-compliance against digital ID protest because the objective was to highlight the real nature of digital ID and to expose the government’s digital ID sale pitch as a lie. The purpose was to encourage people to prepare for mass non-compliance, to maximise their independence from the system and to live lives beyond the digital reach of government, wherever possible.

With regard to the “action vs. inaction” debate, in my view, investigative journalism is one of the most powerful actions of all. This is why those who rule are obsessed with censorship. As Edward Bulwer-Lytton rightly said, “the pen is mightier than the sword.”

Ideas create movements and even reactionary protests are at their most powerful when those protesting know what solutions they want rather than just opposing the idea or policy they reject. I don’t pretend for one to have any significant reach, or the answers for that matter, but I think it is vital that all voices, including yours and mine, stay on the battlefield of ideas. I firmly believe that if we are going to build a better world the essential revolution is a revolution of the mind.

I write long-form articles and books, stuffed with links and references to sources, in which I try to provide readers with access to information and evidence that they will rarely, if ever, read in mainstream pieces and publications. My objective is to encourage readers to question the state narratives they are given and, hopefully, to give them a foundation from where they can conduct their own research and decide for themselves what they believe to be the truth.

Like you, I get my fair share of criticism, but I am sure I also share with you the wonderful experience of readers contacting me to thank me for keeping them sane in confusing and often chaotic times, or starting them down their own path of discovery. Just one such message would make it all worth it and I am very lucky to receive many. I cannot thank people enough for their support and encouragement. I could not do this work without it.

RW: So you admit to openly agitating for a “revolution of the mind”—I knew you would. Your website even features a radical and very disturbing manifesto: “Don’t trust me.” You explain: “Any media outlet or commentator that asks you to ‘trust’ them is suggesting that you abandon critical thinking and simply believe whatever they tell you. I will never ask that of you. Who am I to ask that of anyone?”

Are you suggesting that internet commentary shouldn’t be faith-based? It seems to me that you are agitating for mind-revolution without understanding that many people demand clarity and want to Believe. I think we can all agree that the role of a responsible internet commentator is to act as a kind of info-priest who performs elaborate e-ceremonies that will allow the faithful flock to continue Believing even when observable reality completely contradicts these Beliefs. Please explain yourself, and ideally, apologize.

ID: I do not “agitate” in the sense of calling for a sudden or violent force, nor by deliberately causing distress, I “agitate” in the sense of hopefully arousing readers interest. As you highlight, I try to interest readers in the importance of applying critical thinking whenever they receive or encounter information from any the source, including from myself.

My “revolutionary manifesto,” is indeed that we should all think for ourselves and make up our own minds about what we believe and, more importantly, what we do as a result.

Though something of a contradiction, I guess that includes believing you should do whatever you are told. Similarly, if you choose to unquestioningly trust information from sources you consider “reliable,” that too is your choice. Though I would advise against both.

As the defendants at Nuremberg discovered, simply trusting information and following your orders is not actually a defence. When we think about it, crimes against humanity aren’t really possible unless people follow orders. So, as a matter of precautionary principle, I say obedience is not a virtue.

Something else I bang on about is evidence. Whenever I write anything I am essentially offering my opinion and I always provide referenced sources to try to substantiate my opinion. Equally, I never profess to be unquestionably right. Again, I ask the reader to make of it what they will.

Of course, readers can and should question both my opinions and the evidence I offer to support them. Hopefully they will be sufficiently agitated to want to investigate what I have said themselves. I hopefully provide starting points for, or additions to, their own research.

I certainly apologize to readers who expect me to provide all the answers and tell them what to do or what to think. Sorry guys and gals, that ain’t my bag, nor is it any of my business.

I offer no apology to those who refuse to consider evidence. I think they should stick to mainstream propaganda, readily available online, as this rarely contains any, or makes it up. They will find slavish consumption of propaganda far more comforting than trying to wrestle with anything I write.

RW: I’m glad you mentioned that you aren’t in the business of telling people what to do. I am also not in this line of work. (I am a blogger, i.e., unemployed.) However, sometimes I receive emails from displeased readers who ask me questions such as: “Oh, so you DON’T think the White Hats will save us? Well then, what do you suggest we do, huh????”

If I understand this logic correctly, reading internet articles reassuring you that the Patriots Are In Control is “doing something”, but if you question the existence of the White Hats you are “doing nothing” and your opinion is invalid unless you have a clear action plan that is more convenient than reading blog posts about how the White Hats will save us (i.e., doing nothing).

Iain, you are a seasoned internet writer so I assume you also have the pleasure of receiving “what are we supposed to do then, Mr. Smartypants?” emails. How do you respond to these types of queries? Are you ever tempted to tell people what to do so that they will just leave you alone? Like… “trust the plan”?

ID:I do indeed receive many such comments. I generally refer people to pieces where I have suggested possible solutions, like this one or this. However, I often find that these are not the solutions the critics are searching for. Perhaps because they involve doing something other than reading blog posts. Who knows?

I sometimes ask these critics what solutions they would prefer. I have noticed that their solutions usually include things like voting for the right White Hat, supporting the right war, or censoring the right people. So, then, I ask them, if they know what solutions they want, why are they asking me? I haven’t got much of a response to this line of questioning.

My favourite criticism is that I haven’t written about certain things or that I haven’t included a specific detail in my exploration of a topic. When I point out that isn’t the subject of the article or that I have no knowledge of, or don’t accept, whatever I am supposed to have included in the article, this also seems to make people very angry. They get quite uppity sometimes and even use hurty words. I can only apologise for disagreeing with them or for not having a clue what they are talking about.

RW: What keeps you grounded? I am quite partial to Johann Sebastian Bach and Czech beer.

ID: Most of my critics suggest I have a kangaroo loose in the top paddock and am not remotely grounded. I like to think that I am pretty level headed but then, in my experience, the unhinged never know they are unhinged.

In an effort to maintain plausible deniability at least, I like to walk the dog and then wind him up by playing “sticky-throwy” (the rules are quite complex but he has got the hang of it) so that my partner has to deal with his over-stimulated mud-splattering frenzies on our return. Sometimes we walk the dog together, in which case I never play “sticky-throwy” with him to ensure she remains none the wiser.

I like to engage in pointless but cathartic arguments on social media and dip in and out of it while I am depressing myself researching articles. I also enjoy listening to extremely aggressive metal, puffing on my vape, drinking British Ale (Czech beer? Pah!) and weeping unnoticed.

Thank you, Iain!

The post Agitating for mind-revolution: A conversation with Iain Davis appeared first on Activist Post.

This 17 part documentary series takes a hard look at what many call “conspiracy theories”, and with thorough investigation backed by empirical evidence sheds light on the organizations, institutions, and individuals that seek to exude power over society. An absolute must watch for anyone who considers themselves a proponent of truth and liberty.

It’s a question as old as conspiracy culture itself, who is really in charge? When we talk about “the powers that be”, or more aptly “the powers that shouldn’t be”, who exactly are we referring to?

Plenty of works have attempted to dissect pieces of this puzzle, from esteemed authors like G Edward Griffin, to researchers the likes of James Corbett, and many many more have shed light on the real hidden systems of power that control much of our civilization.

This is a systemized ideology of power centralization, with an end goal that results from the completion of various agendas and schemes that consolidate control into the hands of a select few. And unlike pop culture misinterpretations of conspiracy theories that portray this as a singular overarching global plot, it can be more realistically described as a multifaceted omnibus derived from the machinations of the powerful: each with their own frequently overlapping motives.

But the prevalent ever present question is to know who is behind these schemes to subvert the liberty of humanity. A recent documentary series aims to answer that question.

Over the past number of years our colleague Derrick Broze at The Conscious Resistance Network has worked tirelessly to write, direct, and produce a mini docuseries titled The Pyramid of Power aimed at pulling back the curtain and exposing the individuals and institutions behind these most pervasive agendas through meticulous research, presenting it as a true crime investigation, backed by hard factual evidence rather than just simple theories. The result is arguably one of the most important documentaries ever made for anyone who seriously desires to gain an understanding of the powers actually at work to control our world.

Divided into four seasons presented in chapters, with four episodes each and approximately 30 to 45 minutes long, plus a two and a half hour long final conclusion split into two parts, each chapter focuses on unraveling a different distinct aspect of the pyramid. Here we shall give a brief description of each with a link to every episode.

Chapter One, Big Education

The first installation of the series focuses on centralized education, more specifically how the control of educational institutions have been utilized since at least the 18th century to mold the minds of the youth to conform to the agenda of the ruling class. In the United States specifically, it discusses how robber barons such as the Rockefellers in particular played a direct role in the shaping of the American education system in the early 20th century to effectively train average citizens to be only educated enough to remain in their place and not challenge the status quo.

Chapter Two, Establishment Media

The second episode focuses on the role of corporate legacy media as a propaganda outlet for the state and the ruling predator class. It explores the five mega-corporations that own upwards of 95% of all news media, as well as the executives that belong to roundtable groups such as the Council on Foreign Relations, and the interconnectedness of the media apparatus with intelligence agencies like the CIA and their role in planting false stories in the media to shape public opinion.

Chapter Three, Big Tech

The third chapter takes aim at unraveling the web of corruption that is the Silicon Valley technology industry. The information presented in the episode sheds light on the way that much like with establishment media, corporate conglomeration paved the way for technology companies, particularly social media, to play a crucial role in controlling the flow of information. The episode explores the background of how companies like Google and Facebook got their start as projects for the Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and funded through a cut-out of the Central Intelligence Agency.

Chapter Four, The Hollywood Intelligence Complex

The season one finale unravels the deep web of connections between Hollywood and the intelligence and military apparatus which deeply embedded itself within the entertainment industry to subtly promote propaganda. Focusing on the National Security State in particular, chapter four reveals the ways in which influences from the intelligence and military apparatus promote the agendas of the police state at home and perpetual war abroad.

Chapter Five, Big Wireless

The first episode of season two begins with exposing how the conglomeration of telecom companies hid the negative effects of wireless technology on public health. Ultimately it reveals the way in which telecom companies deliberately covered up the harms attributed to things such as wireless radiation, including EMF and 5G, and the ways in which regulatory agencies meant to safeguard against such hazards were captured and participated in the cover up.

Chapter Six, The Oilgarchy

Understandably, one cannot have a series about revealing the nefarious activities of corporate institutions in accordance with the ruling predator class without discussing Big Oil. The episode does a deep dive on explaining how Rockefeller’s Standard Oil grew into a titan that monopolized an industry, using its vast influence to impact or even destroy other industries and rig the economy in the favor of the oil industry.

Chapter Seven, Big Pharma & The Medical Cartel

This episode focuses on revealing the ways in which major pharmaceutical companies, drug manufacturers, and the so called health care industry were turned into a for profit machine that treats sickness like a business commodity.

Chapter Eight, Food as a Weapon

In chapter eight the series focuses on how food has been weaponized against the population. Specifically looking at the ways in which the monopolies of agrochemical corporations, factory farms, and junk food producers have cornered the market on the mass distribution of unhealthy foodstuffs that lack nutrition and can cause illness. Additionally it reveals how certain scientific bodies and regulatory agencies have been corrupted by industry lobbies promoting biased and fraudulent science on certain products such as GMO’s.

Chapter Nine, The Prison Industrial Complex

Whereas previous installations focused on various institutions and organizations whose aims seek to impede and disempower the people, episode nine focuses on the ways in which laws passed by governments, the for profit prison system, the courts and the aptly reffered Injustice System, and the police state along with other intersecting elements are used to disenfranchise the population and strip away individual liberty. 

Chapter Ten, The Foundations & The Non-Profit Industrial Complex

Just as various other organizations and institutions have been captured and or outright created to aid and abett the overarching agendas of the predator class, there exists a sprawling web of seemingly neutral foundations and so called non-profits whose operations and true purposes more often go unnoticed by the public at large but nonetheless work in the shadows to facilitate the aims of the powerful. Chapter ten investigates the forces behind this network.

Chapter Eleven, The Banking Cartel & The Future of Money

The eleventh episode focuses on one of the most pervasive methods of control that the global power elite have exploited for centuries: Financial control. The episode dissects the origins of one of the world’s most infamous banking dynasties, the Rothschild family, and how they along with a handful of others have worked to spread their control of the financial sector across much of the globe. Additionally, the episode elaborates the scam of fiat currency and private institutions such as the Federal Reserve, and exposes attempts to create a cashless society with the development of central bank digital currencies.

Chapter Twelve, The Crimes of the Intelligence Community

As we traverse further up the steps of the pyramid of power we begin to take a deeper look at more of the pervasive elements that have had a direct role in facilitating the predatory agendas of the ruling class. The twelth installment focuses directly on the missdeeds of the intelligence community such as the Central Intelligence Agency, and others from around the world including the Soviet Union, China, and Israel to reveal how these institutions are used to suppress the population.

Chapter Thirteen, The Technocratic State

Technocracy is arguably the leading ideology behind the vast majority of the authoritarian agendas in the works today. It is a political ideology that seeks to replace sovereignty with servitude, a kind of techno-fascism that aims to consolidate power into the hands of a “tech elite” for total control over the population. Thus, it is essential to understand the origins and interworkings of this ideology to be better capable of opposing it. Chapter thirteen does just that.

Chapter Fourteen, The False Flag Deception

Where previous episodes have dealt with exposing crimes of the military industrial complex and propaganda efforts more broadly, episode fourteen specifically focuses on the element of the false flag attack. This is a deliberate act of mass violence framed to be perpetrated by another party, particularly one’s political opposition, and used to shape public perception about a conflict to justify excessive abuses and power grabs. By providing historical examples, this chapter illustrates how certian events are manipulated to manufacture public consent for atrocities.

Chapter Fifteen, The Pedo-Class

Arguably the most disturbing and unsettling episode of the series, this installation shoulders the task of exposing the grimiest underbelly of the ruling predator class, those who prey on children. Sex trafficking and child exploitation run rampant among the rich and powerful, with entire networks tied to intelligence agencies, governments, corporations, and banks along with the likes of infamous figures such as Jeffrey Epstein and many more.

Chapter Sixteen, Religion & Secret Societies

Of course no conversation about who truly controls the world would be complete without a thorough investigation of some of the most well known secret groups known to mankind. Allegations abound that groups such as the Freemasons, the Illuminati, the Rosicrucians, the Jesuit Order and more secretly pulled the strings from behind the scenes. Furthermore, religious institutions as a whole can be seen as systems of control with the way that exaggerated mythologies are used as a brainwashing tool among the so called “faithful”. As such, episode sixteen takes a look at what can actually be proven about the influence that these groups and institutions have on world affairs.

The Conclusion

Finally, the end of the series, being its longest episode separated into two volumes, seeks to accumulate all of the information revealed thus far in the 16 previous chapters along with a fresh look at some of the most powerful institutions in the world today, from the World Economic Forum, to asset managers such as Blackrock, round table groups such as the Bilderberg Group and others, secretive institutions the likes of the Club of Rome and the Committee of Three Hundred, secret societies, dark occultists, possible otherworldly influences, and ideologies such as Zionism and the false belief in authority. The finale of the series wraps up by taking a closer look at each of these to determine which if is truly at the top or if, as some suggest, it is instead a pyramid without a capstone with various individuals and institutions vying for control.

Ultimately the viewer is left with a succinct synopsis of the complexity of centralized power systems, the organizations, ideologies, and individuals behind them and, more importantly, with a plethora of practical solutions that can be employed to resist these kinds of encroaching agendas, as provided at the conclusion of every episode including the final volume.

What we are left with is an incredible investigation of forensic history, looking at hard data and concrete facts revealing the machinations of those who attempt to exude power over our lives, as well as a blueprint for regaining our own sovereignty and creating a better more prosperous alternative.

The Pyramid of Power as a documentary series may have concluded, but the efforts to uncover those who seek to undermine the liberty of humanity and hold them accountable for their crimes in an effort to create a better future must never falter.

The opioid epidemic is just one of the symptoms of the general deterioration of Western society. Now, more people than ever are either dealing with the ravages of drug and alcohol addiction themselves, or dealing with someone who is. What can we do about this scourge? Today on Solutions Watch, James talks Derrick Broze, who has just penned a gripping new memoir about his own struggles with addiction and how he overcame them.

The New York Times has printed an article with the headline “A North American Treaty Organization Without America?”, apparently having spent the entire Ukraine war completely unaware that NATO stands for North ATLANTIC Treaty Organization.

Reading by Tim Foley:

❖

The New York Times has printed an article with the headline “A North American Treaty Organization Without America?”, apparently having spent the entire Ukraine war completely unaware that NATO stands for North ATLANTIC Treaty Organization.

At the same time, CNN ran a segment on an American bomber whose plane was shot down over Iran in which analyst Amy McGrath suggested that the Iranians might help the pilot because they’re “happy” he’s bombing their country, saying the pilot would be worried because they don’t know “if you’re gonna be picked by somebody who is going to turn you over to the Iranian forces that are gonna use you and capture you, or is the population happy that you’re there?”

Really illustrates how fucked western journalism is, doesn’t it?

I mean, this is some serious baby-brained thinking on display here. That New York Times headline made it through multiple checkpoints before publication without it ever even occurring to anyone to at least do a quick Google search to find out if the A in NATO really does stand for “American”, and, if so, why are there so many European countries in it? That CNN analyst really does have such an infantile, children’s cartoon worldview on American wars that she thinks the people being bombed by American pilots will want to hug them and kiss them and give them presents when they emergency eject into enemy territory. It’s kind of amazing that any of the people involved in either of these incidents are working in news media at all.

If you’ve ever wondered why so many Americans are so ignorant about what’s going on in their world, it’s because for generations these have been the kinds of people informing them about world events. These are the news outlets who’ve been responsible for creating an informed populace. And their reporting is shared with the entire western world.

I constantly criticize the western press for its role in propagandizing the public to manufacture consent for evil wars and normalize an abusive political status quo. You cannot despise these manipulators enough for their role in the world’s dysfunction today. But these two incidents highlight the fact that the people running the western press aren’t just evil — they’re also really, really stupid.

❖

The New York Times is also running narrative cover for Israel’s ethnic cleansing operation in Lebanon, running a story on the ethnically motivated mass expulsion with the obscene headline “Israel’s Message to Southern Lebanon: Shiites Must Go”.

The Times then goes on to make it clear that what they’re softly framing as “Israel’s message” is in fact a brazen ethnic cleansing operation, saying Israel’s evacuation orders in Lebanon apply exclusively to Shiite Muslims, while Christians and Druse may be permitted to remain as long as they don’t shelter any Shiites among them:

“As fighting reignited, Israel issued blanket evacuation guidance for a vast stretch of southern Lebanon — extending 25 miles from the Israeli border — publicly urging all civilians to flee to the north.

“But behind-the-scenes, Israeli officials have conveyed a more targeted message.

“In private calls to local leaders across southern Lebanon, Israeli military officials have assured several Christian and Druse communities that they could remain in the evacuation zone. They have pressed them, however, to force out any Lebanese from neighboring Shiite Muslim communities who have sought refuge among them as Israeli bombardment flatten Shiite towns, according to local Christian, Druse and Shiite leaders who spoke to The New York Times. The Shiites make up the majority of southern Lebanon.”

The fact that Israel is explicitly warning people of one ethnicity not to hide members of another ethnicity from the invading force which wants to eliminate them should be drawing Holocaust comparisons around the world. Instead it’s going completely ignored while the west pretends Jews are the ones in imminent danger.

In their melodramatic victim-LARPing after October 7, western Zionist Jews like Gad Saad and Daniella Greenbaum Davis promoted a social media campaign asking non-Jews “Would You Hide Me?” — as in would you hide me if there’s another Holocaust. Billionaire Sheryl Sandberg appeared in a propaganda film titled “October 8 — The Fight for the Soul of America” in which she described asking her friend “will you hide me?” after the 2023 Hamas attack, as though the western billionaire class isn’t the most coddled and least persecuted group on the entire planet.

Those same people don’t care about Lebanese Muslims hiding from Israeli Nazis. 

❖

Whenever someone talks about antisemitism these days you need to ask them to clarify what kind of antisemitism they mean: the “I hate Jews” kind or the “I don’t want my son to die invading some place called Kharg Island” kind.

❖

Israel apologists are shrieking their lungs out about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez saying she’ll vote against US funding for Israel’s Iron Dome. The premise of these arguments is that Israel is an innocent little flower who’s just sitting there minding its own business while evil savages fire rockets, missiles and drones at it for no reason, so it requires a “defensive” weapons system to shoot down those projectiles. It is taken as a given that Americans need to pay for that system for some strange reason.

This is of course a lie. Israel is not sitting there passively receiving these attacks, it is abusing Palestinians and starting wars throughout the middle east under the assumption that it is relatively safe from return fire. The Iron Dome exists to protect Israel from the deterrence capabilities of the populations it attacks, and from the domestic political consequences of military aggression becoming unpopular among an electorate who must suffer its effects.

Calling the Iron Dome “defensive” is like looking at the armor and shield of a medieval knight and saying he must have carried those items around all the time in case someone tried to stab him while he was sitting at home playing with his children. No, those were weapons of war designed to keep the knight alive so he could kill as many enemy soldiers as possible on the battlefield without being stopped.

If you were a psychopath and suddenly discovered you had super powers which make your flesh as hard as steel, you’d probably go around beating people up, because you’d be immune from the retaliations of those you attacked. Without those powers you’d have to be a lot more diplomatic in your interactions with people, because you’d want to keep your teeth in your head. Israel is like a psychopath who’s been given powers which protect it from retaliatory strikes.

This is an entirely moderate position from AOC and should have been her stance the entire time. Those criticizing her statements are acting like it’s a second Holocaust because they want Israel to be allowed to butcher people throughout west Asia without any fear of consequences.

The post The Mass Media Are Evil But They’re Also Really Dumb, And Other Notes appeared first on Activist Post.

Welcome to the end of the show. The curtains are fraying, the actors are drunk, and the stage lights are literally exploding, but they’re still trying to keep you glued to the screen. 

The latest ‘Moon Landing’ reboot is the ultimate April Fool’s prank on lobotomized plantation slaves. They’re lighting up millions of gallons of oil to launch a tin can while the rest of the world stares at empty gas pumps. 

It’s an illusion, and it’s vanishing faster than NOT A SPACE AGENCY (NASA’s) ‘lost’ the technology and recorded over the telemetry tapes. The most significant achievement in human history and they treated the data like a season of Seinfeld they needed to tape over with a high school football game.

And, what about the iconic space props from 2001: A Space Odyssey which Stanley Kubrick order to be destroyed after the movie’s release in 1968? (Read: relocated to the Moonlanding Set for the Moon Hoax Movie release the next year)

In other news, just weeks after ICE (and crossdressing) champion/scapegoat Kristi Noem have been released from her duties we have Epstein champion/scapegoat Pam Blondi being fired and replaces with the Todd Blanche, the AG who had made it clear that this is the end of the Epstein files saga and no one will be prosecuted: “It’s not a crime to party with Mr. Epstein. It’s not a crime to eat on Mr. Esptein’s island”. 

Oh, and don’t forget to get your Covaids booster this May, because you may be exposed to the new Cicada variant that is spreading in the US! No, it’s not a joke. 

I didn’t watch the Trump talk; I couldn’t care less. While he was busy bamboozling his audience, the real world was actually blowing up.

While the media distracts you with Mach 39 entry speeds, magical moments, and ‘tears sticking to eyeballs’ in space, the global energy grid is being dismantled in real-time. This isn’t a crisis; it’s a controlled demolition.

• Kuwait: The Mena Al Ahmadi refinery is a bonfire after Iranian strikes. Half a million barrels a day, gone.
• Iraq: British Castrol warehouses turned to ash in Erbil.
• UAE: The largest natural gas plant in Abu Dhabi is shuttered after a “fire.”
• USA: The largest gasoline pipeline in Georgia just “accidentally” shuttered.

No one seems to notice? No, they’ll notice when the grocery shelves are as empty as a NASA live feed. We are looking at a global energy emergency that makes the 1970s look like the Good Old Days.

The Trade of a Lifetime: This is the most “sure thing” trade I’ve ever seen. Dated Brent crude is $30 over the paper price. The market is screaming for physical barrels. If you’re not positioned in leveraged long oil, you’re missing the only life raft left. I’m giving away the strategy for free at dollarvigilante.com/freetrial because I want as many people as possible to survive this collapse.

The real war isn’t about nuclear weapons (which don’t exist) it’s about who gets to print the world’s reserve currency. The Petrodollar, born in 1974, is dying. Iran just offered Europe a Hormuz deal. If the EU takes it and pays in Euros or Yuan, the 50-year US monopoly on global trust evaporates instantly.

The US is beyond bankrupt; we’re at $39 trillion in debt and counting. No one is buying our Treasury bonds anymore. The Federal Reserve just bought $15 billion of its own debt. That’s not a market; that’s a suicide pact. We are heading into a “Super-Stagflation” where growth dies and prices scream toward the moon… the real one, not the Hollywood set.

On ‘Liberation Day’ almost exactly a year ago, they told you everything’s going to go down in price. The words GOLDEN AGE were mentioned once or twice. 

Let’s see how that’s going. 

Beef’s up 14%. Coffee’s up 21%. Oil is up 40% and going up 140% soon. Electricity up 36%. Car insurance up 6%. Average tariff cost per household up 38%. Consumer prices plus 2%, up 20%. Manufacturing job lost 89,000 refunds to consumers. 0. 0. Yeah. People in the U.S. living paycheck to paycheck, and that’s most of them. Landlords living month to month. Banks and corporations living bailout to bailout.

I have some really good news, though. 

The system isn’t being defeated; it’s being made irrelevant.

People are leaving. Not just switching jobs or moving cities… they are exiting the illusion entirely to build something the “clown world” architects can’t touch. On every continent, humans are acquiring land, learning to grow food, collecting rainwater, and generating their own energy. Check out ECIDevelopment for some of the best options on earth!

Sound familiar? It’s exactly what I’ve been doing and preaching for years.

From Kentucky and Costa Rica to Portugal, Thailand, and South Africa, a quiet, simultaneous migration is happening without central coordination. It’s a calling. This is what the New Earth actually looks like… the same one Christof Melchizedek and Max Igan have been talking about.

Forget the protests. Forget the petitions. As Max says, there’s no point in fighting a rigged game… just walk away.

Imagine a generation of children who:

Never have to wonder where their food comes from.

Never trade their life force for “Babylonian money magic” numbers in a bank account.

Never know the specific loneliness of being surrounded by people but known by no one.

Grow up learning plant medicine like Ayahuasca and Iboga from elders instead of being fed industrial toxins.

Within a single generation, the landscape of human life will be unrecognizable. Not because of a policy change, but because enough individuals made the same quiet decision: “I will not participate in a system that requires my dependency to function.”

The new Earth isn’t coming after the collapse; it’s being built during it. Right now, someone just bought their first seed packet. Someone just made an offer on land they’ll never mortgage. Someone just said, “I am done,” and the world became a little less controllable.

Stop giving them your energy. Stop using their fiat currency. Stop paying their extortion fees, which, if you’re in the US, is a literal choice. Just send the paperwork (check out destinationfreedom.org) and watch the illusion crumble. They’ll admit you’re right because the whole thing is a voluntary contract you never had to sign.

You cannot control a population that provides for itself. Stop asking for permission. Start building.

Join us. Just walk away

The post Back To The Stone Age In A Magical Moon Rocket appeared first on Activist Post.

Contemporary medicine is not failing for lack of knowledge. It is failing under the weight of its own complexity. The present era is defined by unprecedented access to data, advanced technologies, an ever-expanding network of subspecialties, and a dense architecture of protocols and performance metrics. Nearly every aspect of patient care can now be measured, quantified, and standardized. Interventions that were unimaginable only decades ago are now routine. Yet despite these advances, a fundamental element has been eroded. This erosion is philosophical.

Medicine has accumulated extraordinary capability, but it has lost clarity of purpose. Increasingly, it functions as a system optimized for processes rather than a profession oriented toward patients. The distinction is subtle but consequential. Without a clear understanding of its purpose, medicine risks becoming an efficient mechanism that delivers care without understanding the individual it serves.

In the 12th century, Maimonides (Rabbi Moses ben Maimon [1135–1204], known as the Rambam), one of history’s most influential physician-philosophers and a court physician in Egypt, practiced medicine in an era devoid of modern diagnostics, randomized trials, or institutional oversight. Trained within the intellectual traditions of Andalusian and Islamic medicine, and deeply influenced by Greek philosophy, he integrated empirical observation with rigorous reasoning and ethical responsibility. Although he lacked contemporary tools, he possessed something far more important: clarity. In Regimen of Health, he asserted that the physician’s foremost responsibility is to preserve health rather than simply treat disease¹. This principle stands in sharp contrast to the modern system, which frequently prioritizes intervention over prevention.

The Physician As Intellectual Practitioner Rather Than Technician

Maimonides regarded medicine as an intellectual discipline rooted in observation, reasoning, and adaptation. His clinical writings consistently emphasize individualized care guided by physician judgment, rather than strict adherence to generalized rules². In his model, the physician was not merely a technician following predefined steps, but a thinker adept at navigating uncertainty.

Modern medicine increasingly emphasizes compliance. Clinical guidelines and protocols, though valuable, have expanded to the extent that they often define practice rather than merely inform it. Evidence-based medicine, initially conceived as the integration of clinical expertise with the best available evidence, is now frequently implemented as strict guideline adherence³.

When adherence is used as the primary metric of quality, deviation is perceived as risk. However, no patient precisely matches the populations studied in clinical trials. Maimonides recognized this implicitly, treating individuals rather than statistical abstractions. This distinction is not merely philosophical; it has practical consequences at the bedside. A physician trained to follow protocols may deliver technically correct care, yet fail to recognize when a patient falls outside expected patterns.

In contrast, a physician trained to think can identify nuance, adapt in real time, and challenge assumptions when necessary. Maimonides’ model required intellectual engagement with every patient encounter. Modern systems, in their effort to standardize care, risk reducing that engagement. The result is not necessarily incorrect medicine, but it is often incomplete medicine.

Prevention As the Core Principle of Medical Care

Maimonides positioned prevention as the central tenet of medicine. His recommendations regarding diet, exercise, sleep, and emotional balance reflect a systematic understanding of health maintenance as the physician’s principal responsibility¹. In his framework, disease frequently resulted from an imbalance.

Modern medicine recognizes the significance of prevention but, structurally, incentivizes intervention. Chronic disease management is predominantly pharmacological, while upstream determinants receive comparatively less systematic attention. This dynamic reflects systemic incentives rather than a lack of scientific understanding. Frieden has argued that effective clinical decision-making must extend beyond randomized trials to incorporate broader determinants of health⁶. Maimonides’ framework anticipated this perspective centuries earlier.

This imbalance becomes particularly evident in the management of chronic disease, where treatment pathways are well defined, but prevention strategies remain inconsistently applied. The modern patient often enters the healthcare system after the disease has already progressed, at which point interventions are more complex, more costly, and less effective. Maimonides’ emphasis on daily habits (i.e, nutrition, movement, and moderation), reflects an understanding that health is constructed over time rather than restored episodically. This temporal dimension of medicine is frequently underappreciated in contemporary care models.

The Integration of Psychological and Physical Health

Maimonides recognized that emotional and physical health are inseparable. He described the influence of psychological states on bodily function and emphasized that effective treatment must address both².

Unfortunately, modern healthcare often fragments this unity. Psychiatry, internal medicine, and behavioral health typically function in parallel rather than in an integrated fashion. Consequently, the patient is divided across multiple systems. Epstein and Street have shown that patient-centered care requires understanding the full context of the patient’s experience¹². Maimonides’ approach inherently embodied this principle.

The fragmentation of care also alters the physician’s perception of responsibility. When different aspects of the patient are managed by separate systems, accountability becomes diffuse. No single clinician is responsible for integrating the whole. Maimonides’ approach avoided this fragmentation by necessity. His model implicitly required the physician to synthesize physical, emotional, and environmental factors into a unified understanding of the patient. This integrative responsibility is increasingly difficult to sustain in modern practice.

Ethical Practice Amidst Systemic Pressures

For Maimonides, medicine was inherently ethical. The physician’s duty was unequivocal: to act in the patient’s best interest. Modern physicians operate within a framework shaped by administrative, financial, and legal pressures. Relman described the emergence of the “medical-industrial complex,” in which economic forces influence care delivery¹⁰.

The consequences of these systemic pressures are evident in the prevalence of physician burnout. Shanafelt and Noseworthy have associated this phenomenon with systemic pressures that undermine professional fulfillment⁹. This is more accurately described as moral injury: the inability to consistently act in accordance with ethical obligations. 

This shift has implications beyond physician well-being. It affects trust. Patients may not fully perceive the structural constraints under which physicians operate, but they often sense when care is mediated by systems rather than guided by judgment. The erosion of trust in medical institutions may, in part, reflect this disconnect. Maimonides’ framework, centered on a direct ethical obligation between physician and patient, preserved that trust by design.

The Interplay of Knowledge, Authority, and Uncertainty

Maimonides engaged rigorously with intellectual authority but did not defer to it. He critically evaluated prevailing knowledge and underscored the provisional nature of understanding.

Despite its scientific foundation, modern medicine can gravitate toward authority-driven practice. Guidelines and consensus statements may become rigid beyond their evidentiary basis. Djulbegovic and Guyatt highlight the persistent tension between standardized evidence and individualized care³. Excessive certainty can constrain inquiry.

Individualized Care Versus Population-Based Approaches

Population-based data are essential, yet inherently limited. The concept of the “average patient” remains an abstraction. Maimonides treated individuals. His clinical reasoning was adapted to the specific patient rather than conforming the patient to a model.

Montori and colleagues have emphasized that optimal care requires integrating evidence with individual context and values¹⁵. This principle aligns directly with Maimonides’ approach. Yet, few modern healthcare providers apply it.

Technological Advancement in the Absence of Guiding Principles

Modern medicine’s technological capacity is without precedent. However, technology is not inherently beneficial; its value reflects the priorities of the system in which it is employed.

Topol has argued that technological innovation may restore the human dimension of medicine⁸. Nevertheless, electronic medical records frequently divert attention from the patient to documentation. Verghese describes a system in which the patient becomes secondary to their digital representation¹⁴. As a result, the clinical encounter risks subordination to its documentation. Maimonides practiced medicine without technological aids, yet maintained a profound presence. 

Technology, when aligned with clinical reasoning, enhances care. When it replaces reasoning, it constrains it. The distinction lies not in the tool itself but in its role within the clinical encounter. Maimonides’ practice demonstrates that the absence of technology does not preclude effective medicine, while modern experience suggests that the presence of technology does not guarantee it. The challenge is not to limit technological advancement, but to ensure that it remains subordinate to clinical judgment.

Essential Elements Lost and the Need for Recovery

Cassell emphasized that medicine must address suffering, not merely disease¹¹. This aligns closely with Maimonides’ framework. Starfield distinguishes between patient-centered and person-focused care, noting that true care must address the individual beyond disease labels¹³. Maimonides practiced this inherently.

What has been lost is not knowledge itself. Rather, it is coherence.

Conclusions

Maimonides represents not a historical curiosity but a standard we have yet to reclaim. His medicine was grounded in principle: prevention over intervention, judgment over compliance, the individual over the average, ethics over expediency.

Modern medicine possesses extraordinary tools. But without a guiding philosophy, those tools risk being applied without direction.

The future of medicine will not be determined by how much more we can do.

It will be determined by whether we remember why we do it. Because a system that measures everything, standardizes everything, and controls everything, yet fails to understand the patient in front of it, is not advanced. It is incomplete. And if left uncorrected, it risks becoming something far more dangerous than outdated medicine:

It becomes medicine that no longer knows what it is.
