June 17, 2026 | Trump said Netanyahu has “No F—ing Judgement.”

QUESTION: I read Trump’s comment to Netanyahu in Axios. You have been the voice of reason. I argued with someone who said you were anti-sematic for criticizing Netanyahu.  They criticized Obama so I asked then you must be a racist. It went right over their head. I know you said before that you had two […]

June 16, 2026 | Health Prepping: We Need More Magnesium

Magnesium is up there with vitamin D on the list of supplements that pretty much every health guru recommends. The reasons for this are many and varied. Here’s an excerpt from a recent post by Brazil-based medical writer Dr. Mark Sircus: The symptom list [for magnesium deficiency] is savage. When Magnesium is deficient, things begin to die. […]

June 15, 2026 | Stagflation Dilemma

Happy Monday Morning! As expected, the Bank of Canada held rates this past week. What’s perhaps more interesting, is the language they used. “Economic weakness combined with rising inflation is a dilemma for monetary policy. Raising rates to dampen inflation could further slow the economy. Easing rates to support growth increases the risk that higher […]

June 14, 2026 | The Bailout that Never Ended

Capitol Hill Citizen Jun 14, 2026 by Ellen Brown In early May, BlackRock quietly froze redemptions in several of its private-credit funds, limiting withdrawals in vehicles that had been marketed as offering easy liquidity. The […]

June 13, 2026 | The G-Shaped Economy

This week is the final recap of the 2026 Strategic Investment Conference. I have always done summaries of the SIC afterwards, but I don’t think I’ve ever taken four weeks, let alone five weeks to cover it. And I feel we have only scratched the surface. There was just a lot of good content this […]

June 12, 2026 | U.S. Canada Trade Agreement is in Deep Trouble

The U.S.-Canada trade relationship took another turn for the worse this week — and a critical deadline is now less than three weeks away. The USMCA, the flagship North American trade agreement signed by Trump in 2020, comes up for its mandatory six-year review on July 1. The review can result in an extension to […]

June 12, 2026 | AI Abundance, Part 3: GOVERNMENT MONEY WITHOUT STRINGS ATTACHED

from  Scheerpost The first two articles in this series explored the proposition that artificial intelligence and robotics will soon be ushering in an economy of unprecedented abundance, and examined the resource and energy constraints that could limit that voluminous growth.

June 11, 2026 | The Best Possible News For Gold Miners

The recent precious metals correction seems to have made an impression on investors. So much so that almost everyone has turned bearish on gold miner stocks. The following is excerpted from a post by Ahead of the Herd’s Rick Mills: Gold Miners Bullish Percent Index falls to 0, a sign of ‘total capitulation’ as contrarians see opportunity Gold […]

June 10, 2026 | Europe’s War on Crypto Is Really About Capital Controls

  The European Union has announced what may prove to be one of the most significant developments in the battle over financial freedom. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen declared that the EU would introduce, for the first time, a “full third-country ban” on certain crypto-asset services as part of a new sanctions package […]

June 9, 2026 | Digital ID: The Lockdown They Never Abandoned

  Governments never abandon an idea once they discover it increases control. They simply wait until the public is distracted and repackage it under a different name. The lockdowns may be over, but the mentality that produced them never disappeared. It merely evolved. The United Kingdom is now moving toward a digital identity system tied […]

June 8, 2026 | Cheerleading the Decline

Happy Monday Morning! We couldn’t help but chuckle at the comments from Premier David Eby this past week, who took credit for the precipitous decline in the rental housing market. Yes, rents are down big time, but let’s give credit where credit is due. The Federal government, despite its sins of the past and its […]

June 7, 2026 | The Food Supply Has Been Compromised

Africa may be the world’s test site for vaccinations, but the United States has become the test site for synthetic foods. I mentioned in an earlier article that posts have been circulating online of consumers questioning the food supply. Wild animals won’t eat the stuff, even bugs refuse to touch it. The food rarely molds […]

June 6, 2026 | Trading Desk Notes for June 6, 2026

Sooner or later, it was gonna happen After rallying for 9 consecutive weeks, the leading US stock indices tumbled on Friday. The weekly S&P chart shows an “outside reversal down” (blue ellipse), which often signals more downside to come (but not necessarily, see the pink ellipse). If the S&P had closed higher this week, that would have been […]

June 5, 2026 | The Strait of Hormuz Closure Will Become a Crisis

Main Street and Wall Street are ignoring the Strait of Hormuz oil crisis. That complacency has a poor historical track record. According to the IEA’s oil market report of May 13, roughly 12.8 million barrels per day are missing from global supply, with Gulf countries shipping about 14.4 million barrels per day less than before […]

June 4, 2026 | Bamboozled Once Again

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a […]

June 3, 2026 | Sovereignty for Sale in Ireland – UK’s Starmer Hates White People

      The European Union has now reached the point where it openly tells nations how many migrants they should accept and what they must pay if they refuse. They no longer even pretend that member states are sovereign countries. Ireland, a nation that fought for centuries to determine its own destiny, is now […]

June 2, 2026 | The Fed’s Real Stress Test

Jerome Powell is now warning that the Federal Reserve is undergoing a “stress test” and that political interference threatens public confidence in the institution. He stated that “the public would lose faith” if administrations could remove Fed officials over policy disagreements and argued that democratic institutions can be “torn down all too quickly.” What is […]
