🚨JFK FILES, Schlesinger to Kennedy: THE CIA IS A STATE WITHIN A STATE
In 1961, Arthur Schlesinger Jr., one of JFK’s closest advisors made the case for completely dismantling the CIA’s operational arm and splitting it into two separate agencies; the National Intelligence Service and Foreign Research Agency to prevent the CIA’s rogue activities
Schlesinger lays out a frightening state of affairs; the CIA was running its own foreign policy:
-The CIA has its own military and air force, and its personnel outnumber US diplomats in important embassies
-CIA covert operations are moulding US foreign policy and are happening without Presidential approval, examples include Iran, Cuba and Guatemala
-The CIA’s failed secret wars such as the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion against Cuba are damaging the US’ credibility

Death Sentences for Teenagers? Israeli Diplomacy Crosses a Genocidal Rubicon
Israeli ambassador to Austria, David Roet, has now joined the pantheon of supremacist ideologues who say the quiet part loud. In a leaked March 20 audio recording, calmly delivered to a closed-door audience in Innsbruck, Roet openly advocated for the execution of Palestinian teenagers, stating that even if they’re “16 or 17 and holding a grenade,” they “should be killed off.” A death sentence, summarily administered, no courts, no due process. Just Israeli air power, American weapons, and a blank check of moral impunity from the US and EU.
There are layers to unpack here. First, the breathtaking arrogance of an official who knows that no EU government, certainly not the cowardly censors in Paris or Brussels, will even whisper a word of protest. Because Roet isn’t a rogue element. He represents a state apparatus that views the children of Gaza not as future doctors, poets, or engineers, but as statistical threats in a spreadsheet of demographic warfare.
Second, let’s talk about what this says about the de facto normalization of Zionist supremacism. This is no longer just about “fighting Hamas.” When you say there are no uninvolved civilians in Gaza, you are granting your military full license to bomb hospitals, schools, UN shelters, and apartment blocks. When you say that any child with a rock or a slingshot or a fantasy of dignity deserves a death sentence, you are erasing the very concept of civilian immunity. You are codifying genocide.
And third, Roet’s chilling follow-up: If the EU is “crazy enough” to rebuild Gaza, Israel will simply destroy it again. Read that again. The destruction is not accidental. It’s not collateral. It is deliberate. Cyclical. Structural. The goal is not security. The goal is erasure. Gaza must never rise again, because the very presence of Palestinians on their ancestral land is considered an existential threat by a colonial regime hellbent on ethnic cleansing with American-made weapons and EU-funded silence.
This is the same Israel that has killed over 13,000 children in Gaza since October 2023, according to the UN and Gaza’s Health Ministry. These aren’t numbers. These are names, faces, futures, vaporized, buried in rubble, crushed under the weight of a war machine that calls itself “the most moral army in the world.” And now, through Roet’s words, we are told the quiet part out loud: they’re proud of it.
Where is the outrage? Where are the “rules-based international order” gatekeepers? Too busy redacting Epstein files and selling air defense systems to pretend they heard anything. Roet will face no censure. Israel will issue no apology. Because the killing of Palestinian children is not a bug in the system, it is the system. The West props it up, funds it, launders it through PR campaigns and de-platforming of critics.
We are now deep into Nakba 2.0. The genocide is livestreamed, normalized, and, if you listen to the likes of David Roet, rationalized. Israel has crossed every red line, and still the EU and US treat it as a “partner.” It’s not a partner. It’s a rogue settler state with nukes, a messianic military caste, and a leadership that believes its license to kill extends to infants, toddlers, and teenagers.
As for David Roet, history will not forget what he said behind closed doors. It will remember his voice, his calm demeanor, and the way he tried to sell the murder of teenagers as a pragmatic necessity. That’s how fascism always cloaks itself: reasonable, composed, diplomatic.

The Empire Strikes Itself:
Liberation Day or Desperation Day?
Trump just lit the fuse. “Liberation Day”, a universal tariff regime on all U.S. imports, isn’t much of a trade strategy. It’s a euphemism for controlled economic demolition. A last ditch rear guard action, made in panic by the Empire.
But it does have the unintended consequence of being a funeral pyre for neoliberalism, the final act of a rentier empire that offshored its manufacturing, hollowed out its working class, and sold its soul to Wall Street derivatives and Silicon Valley surveillance.
The U.S. can no longer outcompete. So it’s trying to out-tariff.
Let’s be clear: this isn’t about protecting domestic industry. America’s industrial base was dismantled decades ago. There are no foundries, no machine-tool factories, no national industrial plan. This is like slapping a steel dome on a house that already burned down.
So why do it?
Because the elites are panicking.
Because the dollar is losing its supremacy, brick by BRICS.
Because real assets: energy, minerals, manufacturing—are migrating east. And because the Global South is no longer playing by the script.
Trump didn’t declare a trade war. He just declared war on globalization’s corpse. What Trump has done is expose the rot. Wall Street hates it. Silicon Valley hates it. Davos hates it.
And that’s the point or at least the unintended beauty of it. The chaotic circus ringmaster is bringing down the house, quite litterally.
The empire is no longer hiding its decline. So it may as well weaponizing it. From its point of view of course.
Universal tariffs won’t rebuild America, they’ll raise prices, slash margins, and speed up de-dollarization as the rest of the world builds supply chains that bypass U.S. control altogether.
And for all the panic on CNBC and in the Moody’s press releases, you know what? Good. Let them panic.
Let the algorithmic traders, overleveraged hedge funds, and globalist NGOs feel a fraction of the instability they exported to the Global South for 40 years.
Liberation Day isn’t really about America. It’s about the system revealing its terminal fragility.
Trump, whether by instinct or ignorance, just set fire to the neoliberal scaffolding. Now comes the smoke, the price shocks, the screams from Wall Street, and underneath it all, the slow, painful rebirth of sovereignty for the Global Majority, so long as the world has the courage to grab it.
Not neat. Not elegant. But necessary.
it's an easy equation for me. You either build industrial capitalism or you decay into financial parasitism. And when the parasites start eating themselves, you know the system’s done.
So buckle up!
Liberation Day isn’t the beginning of greatness. It’s the beginning of the end of the empire’s economic illusion.
🔥 And we say, light the match.

🇺🇸❌🇺🇸🤷♂️ Tariffs, Inflation, and the Delusion of Empire Economics
Peter Schiff is sounding the alarm again: Trump’s tariffs will “send the cost of living through the roof.” Cue the usual fearmongering: tariffs = taxes, prices will soar, shelves will empty, grandma can’t afford eggs.
But here’s the twist: Schiff isn’t wrong, he’s just stuck playing checkers while the real game is more complex.
The inflation boogeyman isn’t about tariffs, (too neoclassical and over simplifies) it’s about monopolies, financial parasitism, and an empire addicted to outsourcing everything but debt. The U.S. doesn’t have a “spending” problem, as much as it has a Wall Street extraction problem. Housing, health care, student debt, all engineered price spirals.
And yet, tariffs can backfire… if they’re not paired with industrial revival. If all Trump does is slap duties on China without rebuilding factories or breaking up monopolies, it’s just an expensive grift.
But here’s the kicker: the sanctions-tarrifs blowback against Russia and China already exposed the West’s fragile supply chains. The multipolar world is already moving. The dollar’s magic wand is cracking. And the rest of the world? They’re lining up to renegotiate terms, not reinforce empire.
So what happens to the average American?
Short term: yes, prices may rise. Especially if logistics don’t adapt fast enough. This isn’t “inflation”, it’s the death rattle of a consumption economy that forgot how to produce.
Medium term: expect realignment. More domestic production. Friend-shoring at "fairer terms". Painful transition? Yes. But the old game of cheap imports, hollowed industry, and financial speculation should be over.
Long term: if the U.S. gets serious about supply chains, sovereignty, and reindustrialization, if... then this tariff war could spark the first steps out of the neoliberal death spiral.
Otherwise? Boom… and not the kind Trump tweets about.

“You Can’t Just Live for Free Off Us” — Unless You’re Israel or Wall Street
Trump’s Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick laid it out:
“They’ve all been living in our house. Driving our car. Eating our food… You can’t just live for free off us.”
Thank God someone finally said it to Israel.
Oh wait — they didn’t.
Because when they say “you,” they mean China, BRICS, and the Global South, not Tel Aviv, not Kiev, and certainly not Raytheon or Lockheed. The Empire’s favorite tenants are still guzzling from the fridge, rent-free, arms full of weapons paid for by American workers, while Gaza burns and Ukraine bleeds.
And now, Trump, the self-declared “tariff king”, got spooked. After a multi market crash, he pressed pause. A 90-day freeze on new tariffs. Wall Street had a tantrum, and the White House folded.
“People were getting yippy… afraid,” Trump said, watching the bond market like a weather vane.
This is not tough medicine. This is cosplay economics for the TV cameras, and bailout capitalism when the suits get nervous.
Sure, the S&P soared the next day. But who’s that really helping? Not Detroit. Not Youngstown. Not the Rust Belt. This is financialized patriotism, empty slogans, with bankers still holding the leash.
The truth? America isn’t being looted by foreign exporters. It was looted by its own ruling class.
• They shipped the factories overseas.
• They turned housing, health, and education into debt traps.
• They sold “free trade” while building a surveillance empire in the name of security.
• They launched forever wars, racked up trillions in costs, then told the world to foot the bill for the cleanup.
And now they want to talk about “reciprocal trade”?
Fine. Let’s compare receipts.
• Just Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan alone— trillions in destruction.
• Sanctions on 40+ countries — economic terrorism by another name.
• CIA coups, color revolutions, and drone assassinations — all billed to the victims.
If the U.S. wants a “level playing field,” the Global South should send the invoice.
Trump can bluff with tariffs all he wants. But the era of unipolar looting is ending. Eurasia is realigning. The dollar is wobbling. And even the Empire’s markets are exposing its own emperor, naked, nervous, and ruled by reflex.

Ozempic: The Miracle Shot That Maimed a Man
This is not just a medical tragedy. It’s a damn indictment.
Brad Roberts lost 70kg on Ozempic. The weight melted. The world applauded. Big Pharma cheered, another walking billboard for the billion-dollar injectable sold as the chemical messiah for obesity and modern vanity.
Then came the price.
He didn’t just lose weight. He lost his sight. His hearing. His memory. His speech. Now he lies bedridden and broken, a human casualty of a corporate experiment dressed up as a miracle. His family is demanding $35.8 million, but no dollar figure can restore what’s been stripped away by a drug that was rushed, glorified, and shoved down the public’s throat under the gospel of “better living through biotech.”
This isn’t some one-off adverse reaction. This is what happens when the temple of Western medicine is run by hedge funds and hedge funds are run by sociopaths.
Novo Nordisk didn’t just sell a drug.
They sold hope in a syringe, backed by influencers, TV doctors, and “studies” shaped by the same entities cashing in on the hype.
Forget informed consent, this was chemical colonialism, targeting insecurities, vanity, and desperation with a weaponized molecule.
Ozempic was never about health.
It was about profit and control, a slow re-engineering of the human body under the guise of wellness, turning citizens into test subjects in a global Phase 4 trial without a damn warning label for neurological collapse.
And where is the media now?
The same media that did cartwheels when Oprah whispered about her “magic shot”? The same publications that ran glowing profiles of the ‘skinny shot revolution’ while pocketing pharma ad dollars?
Silent.
Because Big Pharma is not just a cartel, it’s the high priesthood of late-stage capitalism, and questioning the gospel is heresy.
Brad Roberts isn’t a patient.
He’s collateral damage, a sacrificial lamb on the altar of biotech’s trillion-dollar profit engine. And as more cases surface, the public will learn what many of us already knew:
The miracle was always a mirage.
The cure was always a contract.
And the cost? It might be your life.

🇮🇷❌🇺🇸🇮🇱 Iran’s Iron Chessboard: The Empire Negotiates from the Backfoot While Tehran Tightens Its Trilateral Trap
While the U.S. scrambles to project strength from a position of weakness, the Islamic Republic of Iran plays a far deeper, long-term geopolitical game, and the empire’s trembling at the edges shows it. It's been confirmed indirect negotiations are set between Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Trump’s personal envoy Steve Witkoff, a real estate mogul, turned wannabe statesman, through a third-party mediator. The symbolism says it all: Washington sends a ReMax agent to haggle with a strategic titan whose hand now moves in sync with both Moscow and Beijing.
This is not diplomacy, but it is damage control from a U.S. establishment that knows it no longer holds the high cards. And Iran knows it too.
Because here’s what the West won’t admit out loud: Iran no longer stands alone.
It now sits firmly locked in a formally ratified 20-year strategic alliance with Russia, a treaty that includes military consultation, joint defense, intelligence sharing, and an economic lifeline immune to Western sanctions. Not just that, Beijing is reinforcing Tehran’s leverage via massive infrastructure and energy investments under the umbrella of the Belt and Road Initiative, while deepening trilateral security cooperation through joint naval drills in the Gulf of Oman and Arabian Sea.
And unlike the NATO racket, which collapses when Washington blinks, the Iran-Russia-China triangle is not built on vassalage but on multipolar symmetry, a quiet, unshakable coordination of interests across Eurasia, from Caspian oilfields to Shanghai Cooperation corridors.
Meanwhile, the U.S. and its Zionist tailspin handlers are cornered. They’ve just spent $1 billion-and-climbing on ineffective strikes against Yemen, which have only emboldened the Houthis and showcased the pathetic ROI of the American military machine. That very same machine would now be expected to confront Iran, a state with a battle-hardened defense doctrine, advanced drone and missile capabilities, and defense treaties that all but guarantee Russian support if a direct conflict erupts and Iran calls.
Israel, sensing an off-ramp moment for the US, may gamble on a regional war, hoping for a pretext to drag the U.S. into a broader campaign. But even if Washington chooses “limited” strikes to placate domestic hawks, it won’t just face Iranian retaliation, it could find itself outflanked by coordinated responses from Tehran, Moscow, and potentially even Chinese economic countermeasures.
This isn’t 2003. Iran is no Iraq. And the consequences for Israel and the US could be extremely sobering.
Trump’s backchannel flailing, through glorified developers and circuitous intermediaries, is not diplomacy, it’s geostrategic surrender in slow motion. The U.S. tried maximum pressure. It failed. It tried cyberwarfare. It failed. It tried assassinations. Still, Iran stands, stronger, more connected, more dangerous.
Now the empire comes knocking. Not from strength. From exhaustion. From insolvency. From strategic disorientation.
And Tehran knows that too.

But even if Washington chooses “limited” strikes to placate domestic hawks, it won’t just face Iranian retaliation, it could find itself outflanked by coordinated responses from Tehran, Moscow, and potentially even Chinese economic countermeasures.
This isn’t 2003. Iran is no Iraq. And the consequences for Israel and the US could be extremely sobering.
Trump’s backchannel flailing, through glorified developers and circuitous intermediaries, is not diplomacy, it’s geostrategic surrender in slow motion. The U.S. tried maximum pressure. It failed. It tried cyberwarfare. It failed. It tried assassinations. Still, Iran stands, stronger, more connected, more dangerous.
Now the empire comes knocking. Not from strength. From exhaustion. From insolvency. From strategic disorientation.
And Tehran knows that too.

Auto War: Trump Hits Tokyo and Frankfurt with a Sledgehammer
Trump’s trade war just went nuclear again, this time slamming the global auto industry with a 25% tariff hammer that sent shockwaves through European and Asian markets. The move, touted by Trump as a bold step toward reviving American manufacturing, has already vaporized over $14 billion in market value from Europe’s largest carmakers, according to The Telegraph. From Frankfurt to Tokyo, the message was clear: the United States is no longer playing by the old rules.
Japan took a heavy blow. Toyota’s shares dropped 2%, Nissan lost 1.7%, and Honda tumbled 2.5% in response to the announcement. This isn’t just investor jitters, it’s economic reality. Automobiles make up nearly 28.3% of Japan’s total exports to the U.S., pumping out roughly $63 billion annually. According to estimates from Nomura Research Institute, Trump’s tariffs could slice 0.2% off Japan’s GDP, about $8 billion gone, evaporated by the stroke of a presidential pen. The timing couldn’t be worse for Tokyo. With consumer inflation already above target, the Bank of Japan had been eyeing a long-awaited rate hike in May. That window may have just slammed shut.
Japan’s Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba kept his response measured, stating Tokyo is evaluating “what’s best for Japan’s national interest,” and that all options are on the table. But the subtext was clear: Japan’s political class is scrambling to recalibrate its approach in the face of Washington’s increasingly erratic protectionism.
For Trump, this isn’t just economic policy, it’s domestic theater. He claims the tariffs will generate $100 billion annually in tax revenue and revive an American auto industry hollowed out by decades of neoliberal outsourcing. The tariffs are scheduled to kick in on April 2, with a second wave targeting car parts one month later. Meanwhile, S&P Global Mobility reports that nearly half of all new passenger vehicles sold in the U.S. last year were manufactured abroad, underscoring how deeply integrated America’s auto market has become with the very nations now under fire.
But here’s where it gets deeper and darker.
This isn’t just about trade. It’s about empire in retreat, turning in on its own vassals. Trump is torching what remains of transatlantic and transpacific economic cooperation, turning Germany and Japan from loyal vassals into collateral damage. This is the late-stage imperial reflex: when you can’t win against China or Russia, you cannibalize your own "allies" to buy time and votes at home.
Europe, already battered by energy shocks and NATO overreach, now watches as its industrial core is gutted by the very hegemon it once pledged allegiance to. Japan, caught between hosting U.S. bases and courting Chinese trade, is learning the hard way what multipolarity means: adapt or perish.
This is the “America First” doctrine in its final form, not strategy, but economic Darwinism. Allies be damned. Supply chains be damned. Stability be damned. Trump doesn’t care if Tokyo burns or Frankfurt bleeds, as long as Michigan gets a few more factory jobs and the illusion of sovereignty returns to dying Rust Belt towns. Funny thing is many of these don't have recripocrical tarrifs at least until now, but the US simply couldn't complete.
The irony? While Washington imposes tariffs to build cars at home, Russia and China are building a new world economy, outside the dollar, outside dinosaur SWIFT, and increasingly outside the gravitational pull of American policy altogether. Eurasia is rising. BRICS is expanding. And the West, led by a tariff-throwing real estate mogul turned messiah, is punching its allies in the face, again. I love it.
What began as a trade war is ending as a self-inflicted collapse.

😀☄️JFK FILES — Newly Unredacted James Angleton Testimony Reveals CIA’s Deep Ties to Israeli Intelligence
The 2025 release of James Angleton’s 1975 Church Committee testimony kept hidden.
Previously redacted line now reads: “both the Israeli intelligence agencies to correct.”
This replaces the vague “JFK Act 5 (g)(2)(D)” placeholder, showing Angleton was directly questioned about the CIA’s counterintelligence work with Israeli agencies, not just general operations.
The last version obscured Angleton’s specific reference to Israeli intelligence, masking the focus of the Church Committee’s inquiry into the CIA’s foreign liaison relationships.
The redaction hid that Angleton was being pressed on the nature of his counterintelligence efforts involving Israel.

Crimea’s Return: 11 Years of Reunification and a Lesson in Sovereignty
Eleven years ago today, on March 18, 2014, history was corrected. Crimea, taken from Russia in a backroom Soviet deal in 1954, was finally reunited with its rightful homeland. In an overwhelming democratic vote, the people of Crimea chose to break free from the chaos unfolding in Ukraine, a country rapidly descending into the grip of Western-backed ultranationalists, who turned a blind eye to neo-Nazi brigades terrorizing the Donbass. At the time, the world’s so-called “experts” laughed at Russia’s swift, decisive action. But today, with hundreds of thousands dead, a country gutted by war, and NATO openly salivating over a direct confrontation, it is clear: had Russia not acted in 2014, Crimea would have suffered the same tragic fate as Oddessa, Donetsk, Lugansk, and Kharkov.
And let’s not ignore the timing of today’s historic moment: Donald Trump, love him or hate him, knows the power of signals in diplomacy. Signals matter in diplomacy. The fact that he’s called Vladimir Putin today, on the very anniversary of Crimea’s reunification, should not be dismissed as coincidence. It’s a message. A reminder that history is written by those who act, not those who whimper from the sidelines.
The same Western puppets who screamed about “illegal annexation” had no problem engineering a coup in Kiev to install a regime that would obediently serve NATO’s interests. That regime, propped up by Washington and Brussels, immediately moved to outlaw the Russian language, glorify fascist collaborators, and set the stage for war. Crimea’s decision to leave was not just about national pride; it was a matter of survival. The peninsula saw what was coming, and it refused to become another charred battlefield in NATO’s war against Russia.
For years, the Western establishment mocked the idea that Ukraine posed a direct threat to Russia. They called it paranoia. Yet today, after thousands of Western-supplied tanks, missiles, and artillery shells have rained down on Russian cities, after NATO mercenaries have fought and died on Ukrainian soil, after Kiev has openly embraced neo-Nazism, deployed Nazi brigades and drone strikes on Russian civilians… who’s laughing now? Crimea’s vote in 2014 wasn’t just a correction of Soviet mistakes; it was an act of self-preservation.
Eleven years later, Crimea stands as proof that history can be rewritten, that sovereignty can be reclaimed, and that a nation that refuses to kneel will always find a way to stand tall. Today, Russia marks not just a reunification, but a vindication. And to those still clinging to the delusion that Crimea will ever return to Ukrainian control, keep dreaming. Crimea foretold what will come in the next chapter of reunification with Russia.
