ParticipantKunstler: Well we can try something, under Trump, or try nothing and just collapse without preparing.
Choice here is: always complain. Always shoot allies. Black Pill Avast! Black pillers always win and live the best lives evah.
Speaking of, Citizen, you’re losing your mind. I don’t know what you need to restore and center yourself, but this won’t work well. Others too: we’re all under a lot of pressure, over-energized, and stressed. Take a walk not because we should but because it doesn’t make you a good soldier to getting things done. If that takes a walk, do it.
““We’re saying: okay, comprehensively we can stop the expansion of NATO coming close to your border,” Kellogg added, noting that such a move would ultimately require a presidential-level decision.”
Same as the Saudi-Israel decision. This is America. HOW can you assure someone even three years ahead of now? You can’t. Even a treaty wouldn’t mean much. First, we always double-cross them, but also, they aren’t much and can just be un-done by the new Senate. It’s about INTENT, which is deeper, meaning you need buy-in from the (deep) state, real strategic re-positioning. They DO give this, it IS done – I don’t know how it’s done, but it happens and still happens even now (see Trump in office and not assassinated, eg) but that’s a very squishy, oligarchic, hidden reality.
What can Russia and Saudi GUARANTEE, in real terms, right now, when this is a real hard-border, solid case? Like that Germany won’t send 5k tripwire death troops to Estonia? Oops.
“Ukraine can forget about NATO”
Again, these are just WORDS. By one President, out in three years.
What’s going on out there? I’m still listening, but it remains too complicated to follow up or comment on. Like Cullom’s wild overvaluations. Yes, but if all capital flees Europe, we’ll have a 1920’s stock market. Yet capital has NOT fled Europe. If we have gold, but gold is at $3600, yes, but it should be $30k according to printing, at the same time it’s rumored Trump “Got the gold back” and all our banks are stuffed with gold, same with Russia, China, Turkey, etc, meaning we can “Gold ‘Standard’” if we want to. Bonds are not moving, we remain too low but squeezing others. Housing is on the market, but prices won’t fall. Wages won’t rise. Employment won’t budge. On and on.
Any one of these is a blowout, a ‘29 Credit Anschalt. Yet with supercomputers, Powell can thread the needle, steer the ship all day and night, and at the same time, Euro supercomputers can too. Nothing will ever happen again. We’re in a world we can’t predict.
Suppose, pop! Something goes off, or is MADE to go off as one side or the other sees an attack advantage. Bam, whole thing suddenly collapses from being under the pressure, as all prices, all actions are false (due to pricing, eg, a salad is shipped worldwide 3 times and still costs $1 when it arrives, meanwhile a tiny chip worthless in 3 years is worth $2,000) then it all goes random, unglued.
OR, due to the very same supercomputers, the minute it comes unglued, the rigged markets are used to glue it all up again. Which has no doubt been happening since ‘01, with ever-increasing intervention. Powell may be trying to get of OFF intervention and slowly back TO real-market pricing, BUT.
But you know how I feel about adding ever-increasing complexity against ever-increasing pressure. We did this IN ‘29, with the “Trusts” with the Portfolio Insurance of ‘87, again with options and shorting in ‘2000, with the Greenspan put, with MBS, etc in ‘08, over and over. Yeah, the insurance and derivatives get more complicated and more powerful. …Exactly at the same scale as the underlying market. Duh. Because same number of zeros, same speed, same tech. So it just reflects the same reality that “Risk is never erased, just transferred.” Or multiplied. It can be multiplied, but not reduced, thanks.
They’ve now moved that risk to the entire nation, the U.S. the U.S. Bond market, then through the US$ Reserve Currency to the whole world. !! Yay! …DOESN’T MATTER. Risk is still there. And still multiplied by all these jumps and mechanisms.
As above, what Trump is trying to do is UN-build the machine, or at least convert it while it’s running to something functional. And that’s possible, AND everyone has a high motivation to do it or bomb go boom, everybody dies.
That doesn’t make it possible, nor that half the bomb doesn’t go off trying.
Short articles, bad formatting. I hope that isn’t a bad sign. I’ve also been here, almost every morning, for years, decade. Yet things change. What is there to be done? We sit together.

ParticipantComparing Trump’s 1st & 2nd terms:
During Trump’s first term, the Uniparty used the Dept of Justice to attack/stop Trump personally.
In Trump’s second term, the Uniparty has not been able to use the DoJ to attack Trump personally nor his actions either.
Instead the Uniparty has been reduced to trying to attack/stop Trump’s actions via courts/judges.
The political playing field is just slightly more level towards the American people.
Trump likely only has at most 1-1/2 years left to make any changes.
The coming 2026 mid term elections will show if the American people or the Uniparty controls the country’s political system.
Trump is very limited in the number of people he can select to help him make changes.
The Uniparty has publically let it be known that they will go after all those who help Trump.Critics of Trump are notable for their unwillingness to volunteer to help Trump make changes they want.
Instead they condemn Trump for trying!May 31, 2025 at 8:08 pm #189148Doc Robinson
ParticipantThe UK aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales is now in the Red Sea and getting closer to Yemen, with the Carrier Strike Group accompanied by 2 destroyers from the US.
https://xcancel.com/MT_Anderson/status/1928822008214589540#mThis article in the UK Telegraph anticipates a showdown —
You’ve read that aircraft carriers have been rendered obsolete by missiles. Now we find out
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/05/29/royal-navy-carrier-strike-houthis-red-sea-drones-missiles/The article is optimistic and says what will keep the carrier safe is a “layered defence.”
Make no mistake, the Prince of Wales is headed into a warzone. She’ll be well within the footprint of hostile missiles, a situation which the critics of aircraft carriers as an idea routinely claim is unsurvivable.
But all the American firepower does seem to have achieved something. On 6 May the Houthis agreed to “halt attacks on US warships and commercial shipping”. This sort of statement needs to be treated with due caution, but for now the Houthis appear to be mainly targeting Israel and leaving shipping alone, possibly because they have no other option. For now, the US is no longer striking the Houthis, in large part because they were getting worried about the rate at which they were using up munitions.
The other thing to bear in mind is that British warships have been running the Bab-el-Mandeb gauntlet and the Strait of Hormuz one (at the entrance to the Gulf) for many years…
In other words, there is nothing in this current transit that will come as a surprise, and the group will have trained for all of it.
What will keep the group’s High Value Units (HVUs – the carrier and supply ship) safe is layered defence.
The layers start a long way out and include intelligence gathering and all sorts of information collection, increasingly in the cyber domain…

ParticipantLooking Back To See https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/looking-back-to-see
I thought it peaked in early 2019: Surplus Energy Economics, Has growth ended? DID THE ECONOMY INFLECT IN 2023?
Though much further analysis remains to be conducted, it’s starting to look as though the global economy may have peaked in 2023.Jim Kunstler, Trump’s Parlous Gambit
One reality we struggle with is the doleful fact that there is no work-around for the nation’s monumental debt. Since it can’t possibly be paid off, there are two stark paths for it: default and ruinous deflation (that is, money vanishes and the nation goes broke); or a futile attempt to inflate it away with more fake money creation (you’ll have money, but it’s increasingly worthless, so you’re effectively broke). Either way, you’re broke. In the meantime, the remorseless interest that has to be paid on $36.2-trillion squeezes out everything else we’re supposed to care for as relates to the common good.
Every broke-ass family or individual person knows how debilitating money-worries can be. And since unpayable debt is the common denominator across all of Western Civ, this perhaps explains the gross, suicidal mental disorder displayed lately by leadership all across Europe, North America and Anglo-Oceania. Europe, especially, exhibits behavior that is completely cuckoo — inciting war with Russia, inviting in murderous hostiles from foreign lands, and sadistically policing their own citizens.
The exception is Mr. Trump, a businessman-outsider to government trying to pull off an escape from the deadly debt quandary. It’s probably impossible, but he is trying nonetheless. It has three main features:
1) to readjust trade relations that, in theory, would restore industrial production across the land — a bootstrapping operation to kick off “growth.”
2) to engineer a severe re-set of the money system that would effectively amount to defaulting on debt but somehow without the feature of disappearing money. At best, this would induce some kind of fall in living standards, but mostly among the small sector of financial buccaneers who thrive on swindles and the Boomers living on investment accounts (figment wealth), who are now dying off anyway — which is to say, Great Depression Lite. And
3) the least understood feature of Trumpism: to decouple the USA from the resource scarcity in the rest of the world, and the consequent strife it’s inducing, and withdraw into a sort of Fortress North America that can somehow carry-on self-sufficiently while everybody else collapses. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/trumps-parlous-gambitWatch: American Contractors Throw Stun Grenades At Gazans Outside Aid Site

ParticipantNetanyahu Threatening To Upend US-Iran Talks By Attacking Iran
The New York Times reported on Wednesday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is threatening to upend negotiations between the US and Iran by potentially attacking Iranian nuclear facilities.
The report said that the threat from Israel led to a recent tense phone call between Netanyahu and President Trump and a series of meetings between senior US and Israeli officials in recent days.
Trump was asked by reporters on Wednesday if he warned Netanyahu against attacking Iran during a phone call last week, and said, “Well, I’d like to be honest. Yes, I did.”
“It’s not a warning. I said I don’t think it’s appropriate. We were having very good discussions with Iran, and I don’t think it’s appropriate right now,” the president said. “If we can settle it with a very strong document, inspections and no trust – I don’t trust anybody – so no trust,” Trump said. He added that he believed the US and Iran are “very close to a solution” but warned that it could “change at any moment.” …
..US officials are concerned that Israel could strike Iran with little notice, and a unilateral attack could still get the US involved. The Times report said that Israeli officials “close to Mr. Netanyahu believe the US would have no choice but to assist Israel militarily if Iran counterattacked.”
There are signs that the US and Israel could be considering a covert attack on Iranian nuclear facilities. CIA Director John Ratcliffe recently visited Israel to discuss covert options, according to the report. Israel has a history of conducting attacks on Iranian soil, including assassinations and sabotage of nuclear facilities. https://scheerpost.com/2025/05/30/netanyahu-threatening-to-upend-us-iran-talks-by-attacking-iran/Caitlin Johnstone, Gaza’s Hospitals ARE the Target: https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/gazas-hospitals-are-the-target

Kiev and its foreign backers are “playing with fire,” the former US Marine Corps intelligence officer has told RT https://swentr.site/news/618302-putin-helicopter-ukraine-ritter/John Helmer, WHAT DID PRESIDENT TRUMP KNOW WHEN PRESIDENT PUTIN’S HELICOPTER CAME UNDER UKRAINIAN DRONE ATTACK IN KURSK?
The first report came from RIA-Novosti, the Russian state news agency, on May 25 at 13:24. “President Vladimir Putin’s helicopter (lead image, top) was in the epicentre of repelling a large-scale attack by Ukrainian Armed Forces drones during a visit to the Kursk region”, said Yury Dashkin [Major General in command of the 32nd Air Defence Division…
..The drone attack on Kursk had taken place five days earlier, on May 20. Putin’s visit to the region, his meetings with local officials, the region governor, engineers and scientists at the Kurchatov nuclear power plant, and local medical, rescue and social welfare volunteers was not reported by the Kremlin website until the following morning. The report of the attack on the helicopter was kept secret at the time...
..When Trump tweeted on May 27 that Putin is “playing with fire!” had Trump fired first – and missed? (Single-shot-pistol duel analogy)
Since the Kursk incident, the public White House log records that Trump had received his weekly intelligence briefing at 11 am on May 22, and then again at the same time on May 29. On the afternoon of May 25, Trump told reporters: “I don’t like what Putin is doing, not even a little bit. He’s killing people. And something happened to this guy and I don’t like it.” A reporter then asked him to comment on the report that “a Russian commander reportedly said that, um, Putin was almost caught in the middle of a drone attack from Ukraine. So do you have any –“. Trump answered: “I haven’t heard that. But, ah, maybe that would be a reason, I don’t know. But I’ve not heard that.” …May 31, 2025 at 9:27 pm #189155John Day
ParticipantGilbert Doctorow, ‘Judging Freedom,’ 29 May edition: How Precarious Is Ukraine?
Today’s chat examines the very provocative plans of German Chancellor Merz to supply the Taurus missile to Ukraine. I believe he may not properly appreciate the way the Russians distinguish between American, French, British missiles and those the Germans are providing. As I say here, President Putin will have no choice but to respond with missiles destroying German military assets because a large and vocal part of the Russian population will not allow him to sit on his hands.
Do heads of state determine the will of the people or are they implementers of the will of the people? The question was posed by Leo Tolstoy as the central issue of War and Peace. Here and now my call is that Putin must implement the will of the people and not his own predispositions. Hence. If the Germans do go through with deliveries of Taurus to Kiev, Putin will attack Germany with Oreshnik hypersonic missiles, likely after making his case before the UN Security Council. There is no reason for him to conceal his intentions. There is no need to be surreptitious: the Oreshniks are unstoppable.
https://gilbertdoctorow.substack.com/p/judging-freedom-29-may-edition-howThat transcript: Transcript of ‘Judging Freedom,’ 29 May edition
I don’t think that Mr. Merz takes seriously the Russian threats. After all, he could say, with entire logic, that the Russians never responded to the American shipment of long-range missiles, the HIMARS, the ATACMS, they never responded to the Storm Shadow. However, that is ignoring the Russian view of Germany as opposed to its former allies. Russia is neuralgic, is hypersensitive to what the Germans do. And the recent celebration of the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Europe on May 9th, we were all reminded about the 26 million Russians who died in that conflict, largely due to German military efforts. And that is unforgivable, unforgettable.
So anything that Germany does, is a special case for Russia. And as I said, whatever the personal preferences of Mr. Putin, he cannot go against the popular will. He wouldn’t want to. The popular will in Russia is to differentiate between German missiles and the others, in a way that means the Russians will have to respond in a dramatic way.
Now, taking out military production facilities, I’m not sure that that would be the first thing that happens, because that particular facility making the Taurus has been idle for more than a year. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/05/29/transcript-of-judging-freedom-29-may-edition/Company Gives Russian Servicemen $190K Bounty For Destroying F-16 Jets In Ukraine

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/hhs-urges-medical-providers-states-immediately-revise-gender-dysphoria-care-practicesOverlooked Chemicals In Food May Threaten Your Health A comprehensive review article recently published in Nature Medicine highlights some of the most prevalent types and sources of synthetic chemical contaminants in food: chemicals known as food contact chemicals (FCCs), which may contribute to chronic health conditions, including endocrine disruption, reproductive issues, and increased cancer risks…
..All FCCs that migrate into food or drinks are important because people will likely ingest them, the authors wrote.
The study identified how specific harmful substances migrate through these pathways. Bisphenol A diglycidyl ether—a known endocrine disruptor and potential carcinogen—transfers from coatings of metal food storage containers during transportation and storage.
Phthalates migrate from polyvinyl chloride tubing into milk during processing and transport. Even cleaning agents used to disinfect storage and transport containers can leave residues that end up in food.

Twenty years ago, it wasn’t uncommon to see news segments questioning the safety or effectiveness of vaccines. But then it all went quiet. According to Kennedy, that silence was bought with pharmaceutical ad dollars.
Big Pharma doesn’t just advertise on TV news, he said. They want to “control the content.” Kennedy revealed that Fox News founder Roger Ailes once told him 75% of his evening news ad revenue came from pharmaceutical companies. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/rfk-jr-batters-big-pharma-two-devastating-announcementsGeert Vanden Bosshche Nobody seems to see the drama unfolding right before our eyes
Some of you have become aware of new COVID-19 (C-19) outbreaks in several Asian countries (Thailand, Taiwan, Singapore, China, Japan). But even in Australia, NB. 1.8.1 is now spreading, and it has already made landfall in the US as well…. After psychotic infection-prevention measures and insane C-19 mass vaccination drove viral escape from anti-SARS-CoV-2 (SC-2) immunity, making the virus more infectious, ongoing vaccine breakthrough infections now appear to be evolving in a way that facilitates immune deficiency against SC-2 altogether, thereby facilitating increased viral virulence of newly emerging, highly transmissible SC-2 lineages. https://voiceforscienceandsolidarity.substack.com/p/nobody-seems-to-see-the-drama-unfoldingA Midwestern Doctor explains “It’s complicated, but support your health first”: What They Don’t Tell You About Autoimmune Disorders and Arthritis

ParticipantIsrael marks 800th planeload of US guns, bombs and ammo as war nears day 600
By Emanuel FabianEight hundred transport planes and 140 ships have delivered more than 90,000 tons of armaments and military equipment from the United States to Israel since the start of the war, the Defense Ministry says.
This morning, the 800th plane landed, according to the ministry.
The military equipment delivered to Israel since the beginning of the war includes “armored vehicles, munitions, ammunition, personal protection gear, and medical equipment,” the ministry says.

The logistical effort has been carried out by the ministry’s Directorate of Production and Procurement, the ministry’s mission to the US, the IDF’s Planning Directorate, and the Israeli Air Force.

Participant1. Key Emissions Components Compared
Pollutant 1966 Dodge Dart (Slant-6 or V8) Modern Compact Sedan (e.g., 2024 Toyota Corolla) Notes
Carbon Monoxide (CO) ~50–100 g/mile (gross) <1 g/mile 1966 engines lacked catalytic converters and precise fuel injection, leading to incomplete combustion.
Hydrocarbons (HC) ~10–20 g/mile (unburned fuel) <0.1 g/mile Modern cars use closed-loop fuel systems and advanced catalysts.
Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) ~5–10 g/mile <0.02 g/mile High combustion temps in older engines increase NOx.
Benzene Significant (from unburned fuel/oil) Near-zero 1966 fuels contained higher aromatics; modern cars minimize evaporative emissions.
Particulate Matter (PM) Moderate (from oil blow-by/carburetion) Minimal

A news source in Yemen said today that London sought “permission” from the Houthis for its aircraft carrier to pass through the Red Sea, and permission was granted by the Houthis with conditions.
The member of the “Supreme Political Council” in Sana’a, Mohammed Ali Al-Houthi, announced that Sana’a received a call regarding the passage of the British aircraft carrier “HMS” in the waters of the Red Sea, confirming that it was allowed to cross as it did not carry out any combat operations…
Al-Houthi explained in a tweet on the “X” platform that the Yemeni armed forces agreed to the passage of the British carrier on the condition that it adhere to a non-aggressive mission and not pose a threat to the operations of the Yemeni army supporting the Palestinian resistance in Gaza.
“London is forced to seek permission from Sana’a to pass its carrier in the Red Sea”

Participant@Doc Robinson: London asking nicely to let her only carrier pass by Yemen peacefully…
Maybe there is hope for the world.
