Connecting dots that don’t connect

Guest Post by Gold & Geopolitics

There’s this theory that’s making the rounds. You’ve probably seen it.

“Trump is executing a 5D chess maneuver of historic proportions – cutting off China’s energy supply, flipping Russia, blowing up BRICS from the inside, and riding stablecoins to dollar supremacy for the next century”.

I admit, it’s intriguing, it’s bold, and it sounds elegant. It has this satisfying narrative arc with numbered steps and everything.

I, however, find it’s almost utterly bollocks.

I’m going to walk you through it. Piece by piece. Not because the underlying geopolitical moves aren’t real but because the interpretation being sold is the geopolitical equivalent of connecting random dots and calling it a masterpiece.

Let me show you why.

Gold’s Selloff Looks Technical. The Bigger Story Hasn’t Changed

Guest Post by Peter Reagan

Your News to Know rounds up the week’s most important stories about precious metals and the overall economy. This week, I want to look past the surface-level headlines and focus on what the recent pullback in gold may actually mean.

  • Gold’s recent selling looks more technical than fundamental
  • France’s gold reserve upgrade shows how valuable bullion has become
  • The comparison to 2020 may matter more than many critics admit

Some Dreams Are Worth Remembering

From Doug “Uncola” Lynn via TheBurningPlatform.com

April Fools: World War III, Fake News, pending financial collapse, fiat cash, A.I. f*ckery, ersatz materialism, Islamification, Marxism, and Woke Clownworld.

Still… some dreams are worth remembering:

Values matter, my Friends.  Especially in the fire.

I am doing well. I hope all of you are too.

And so it goes.

MAGA’s “COVID” Moment?

Guest Post by Eric Peters

It’s said “COVID” was an IQ test and that’s true. It was also an ideological test, in that people picked sides. Many were on the wrong side. A similar sort of test is under way right now and this time, it is people on the other side who are being tested. That is to say, people who – loosely speaking – voted for Trump because they thought he was at least the lesser of two evils.

APB: Donald John Trump is a war criminal of the highest order

Via State of the Nation

Editor’s Note: Not in the 250 years of American history has a POTUS ever publicly threatened to commit such egregious war crimes against a sovereign nation in real time.

Trump Threatens Iran with Total Infrastructure Obliteration If Deal Isn’t Reached.

But what exactly constitutes a war crime according to the Geneva Conventions, of which the United States is a signatory?

Geneva Conventions (IV), Article 147 – Defines ‘Extensive Destruction…Of Property, Not Justified By Military Necessity And Carried Out Unlawfully…As A ‘Grave Breach’…And Therefore Is A War Crime’

In point of fact, Trump has already distinguished himself as a serial war criminal and that verdict comes from some of the nation’s top military attorneys.

ELON MUSK CENSORS IRAN WAR TRUTH TELLER

Since the start of Trump’s insane war with Iran, I have found The Islander X account to be one of the best places to go for a truthful version of day to day events. I have posted numerous guest posts and have inserted his tweets into the comments on numerous other posts. The truth is that he has revealed Iran is winning and the Trump/Netanyahu coalition has gotten their asses kicked.

I have noticed Musk is completely silent about this war of aggression, when he usually doesn’t shut up about any other world events. It looks like he is captured by the zionists too. This blatant act of censorship is unwarranted and proves Musk is no better than the previous regime. Meanwhile, Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro are free to spew their hate and lies.

weaponizing confirmation bias

and going back to picking our own friends

there is an old adage: if everyone you meet all day is an asshole, the problem is not the world.

there is a phenomenal amount of truth to that.

i suspect it breaks down into two key components that wind up reinforcing one another:

  1. confirmation bias: we see what we expect to see
  2. response bias: the responses of others to us key off of how we behave toward them

confirmation/expectation bias is so strong that it needs to be consciously removed from science for the science to have any validity. it’s why clinical trials have to be double, even triple blinded. the patient cannot know if they got drug or or sham for fear of a 2 sided placebo effect. the researcher cannot know either because they will (even if inadvertently) communicate outcome expectations to the patient. they do not need to say a word, just expectation driving decision making, voice, and body cues does it.

pollsters (at least the good ones) are always incredibly wary of this. there have been dozens of experiments where just the act of telling the pollster making calls to expect a 70% positive or a 70% negative response rate skews the results into alignment with expectation. women who went into interviews thinking they were wearing facially disfiguring scar makeup (but who were not) reported discrimination against them for being disfigured. we see what we expect and find what we look for. it’s wired at a neurological level. there’s no fixing it, humans are just like that.

Bring The Troops Back. End This War Now!

Guest Post by Ron Paul

As we begin a new week, the media is filled with reports that President Trump is ready to approve a US ground operation against Iran, either to seize Iran’s uranium or to attack an island off the country’s coast. Thousands of US troops have sped to the conflict area to await President Trump’s decision.

The President is on the verge of making a serious mistake to add to a series of deadly mistakes that have characterized this terrible war of choice against Iran. A US ground operation against Iran would only achieve the death of thousands of US service members.

California’s $91 Billion Warning

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

Leaving CaliforniaCalifornia is now facing the consequences of policies that ignore reality. Between 2019 and 2023, the state lost a staggering $91.4 billion in income as residents relocated elsewhere, with another $11.9 billion leaving in just a single year. This is not a minor shift. This is a structural problem that is accelerating, not stabilizing.

Grandmother Falsely Imprisoned Thanks to AI Biometrics Fail

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

Red Light CameraA grandmother, Angela Lipps, was arrested at gunpoint in her own home after facial recognition software flagged her as a suspect in a bank fraud case in North Dakota, a state she had never even visited. Authorities relied on AI-generated matches from surveillance footage and compared those results to her driver’s license and social media photos. That was enough to issue a warrant.

CoQ10 Supplementation Enhances Peak Power Production in Trained Athletes

Via Mercola

Story at-a-glance

  • Intense training rapidly drains the cellular energy systems your muscles rely on, which causes power to drop and recovery to slow long before you feel overtrained
  • Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is required for energy production inside mitochondria, and repeated high-intensity exercise lowers available CoQ10 faster than your body can replace it
  • Studies in trained and elite athletes show that supporting CoQ10 improves strength, helps maintain power as fatigue builds, and reduces signs of muscle damage after hard workouts
  • Blood levels of CoQ10 don’t reflect how much reaches muscle cells, and delivery into mitochondria is the true bottleneck for performance and recovery benefits
  • CoQ10 forms designed for better cellular delivery provide more usable energy with lower doses, making training feel smoother and recovery more reliable

Hard training taxes your body faster than most people realize. During intense exercise, muscle cells dramatically increase energy turnover, and that surge places immediate strain on the systems that keep power output stable. When those systems fall behind, performance drops first, followed by slower recovery and lingering soreness that compounds over time.

Testing: How to Create a Pandemic of Fake Disease

Guest Post by Kit Knightly

Last week, I was reading the latest module of the UK’s Covid Inquiry while working on our most recent Covid Factcheck, and I came across this paragraph…

From 24 June 2020, hospitals in England were required to undertake testing of asymptomatic patients upon admission and subsequently

During the “pandemic”, hospitals were testing all patients for Covid – symptoms or no – multiple times.

I found myself wondering if people really see how directives like this one were used to build a pandemic from nothing at all.

With reports of a “new variant” tearing across the United States, I thought now would be a good time to remind people how exactly “Covid” tests worked and what they were for.
