#1 – Trump Opts For More War With Russia
By | Ron Paul Institute
The Trump administration has decided to resume the provision of weapons and intelligence to Ukraine. It is thus aiming at escalating the conflict.
The outcome of yesterday’s talk between a Ukrainian and a U.S. delegation Saudi Arabia was not completely in favor of the European/Ukrainian idea of a 30 day ceasefire restricted to air and sea attacks. But it opened the desired pathway to prolonging the war.
The U.S. asked the Ukrainians to accept a 30 day long ceasefire offer. This would of course only be implemented if the Russian side agrees to it. Meanwhile the U.S. resumes all war support for Ukraine… Read full article >
#2 – Trade War: Tariffs Are Needed To Defeat Globalism But They Come With a Cost
By Brandon Smith | Alt-Market
Ever since the days of Herbert Hoover and the official start of the Great Depression the concept of trade tariffs has been readily demonized across most of academia and among the majority of modern economic ideologies. It is actually one area where globalists and free market economists tend to align (though each group has very different reasons).
Proponents of Adam Smith’s free market philosophy or Ludwig Von Mises and his Austrian school are Just as likely to be opposed to Donald Trump’s tariff plans as any globalist from the halls of Davos.
First and foremost we have to make it clear what tariffs are: Tariffs are taxes on international companies importing goods from other nations. These taxes are designed to force companies to import from countries outside of the tariff list or produce goods domestically. The primary targets of tariffs are actually corporations. The secondary targets are countries on the tariff list. Read full article >
#3 – BlackRock First: How the World’s Largest Asset Manager is Gaining More Control Over America Under Trump
The corporate world is a fascinating one.
Contrast it with the political one and you can find a new, curious perspective.
Much of the political world pretends to own corporations, but in reality corporations tend to run the world.
Here’s how it works:
Governments like to regulate industries, make claims on natural resources, and force the ownership of certain operations.
But in the end, it is the corporations that are producing the work.
Governments do not produce. Read full article >
#4 – Trump’s Deportation Policies: Curtailing Free Speech, Shielding Israel?
By Veronika Kyrylenko | The New American
For decades, the United States has positioned itself as the global champion of free speech. Now, under the Trump administration’s latest crackdown, that ideal is being discarded — not to protect Americans, but, apparently, to shield a foreign government from criticism.
The administration’s purge of pro-Palestinian voices, under the banner of fighting “antisemitism,” sets a chilling precedent: Foreign-born residents no longer need to break laws to be detained or deported — they just need to hold the wrong opinion. Read full article >
#5 – Sen.
By by | The Libertarian Institute
After a decade-long American effort to remove Syrian President Bashar al-Assad from power in Damascus, Senator Lindsey Graham says the US-backed jihadists that now control the country are causing more concern than ever.
In an interview on Fox News Sunday, Graham explained that he had “never been more worried about the deterioration of Syria than I am now.” The senator was discussing an outbreak of violence in the country, where forces aligned with the new government are conducting mass executions targeting the Alawites and other religious minorities.

#1 – Trump Warns Nuclear Weapons are the ‘Greatest’ Threat that could ‘End the World’
President Donald Trump has issued a warning surrounding nuclear weapons, claiming they are the ‘greatest’ threat that could ‘end the world’.
Tuesday (March 11) marks 50 days since Trump took office, with the president addressing Congress last week on all he has done so far.
The Republican president accused President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy of ‘gambling with World War 3’ in an explosive meeting, while his tenure has been dominated by executive order after executive order.
Trump sat down with Fox News on Sunday (March 9) to claim that we shouldn’t be prioritising climate change as the ‘biggest existential threat’, but instead nuclear weapons. Read full article >

#3 – The No IRIS Act: A Dangerous Surrender to Corporate Interests at the Expense of Public Health
By Willow Tohi | Natural News
In a stunning display of government overreach and corporate cronyism, Congress is poised to dismantle one of the most critical tools protecting Americans from toxic chemicals. The so-called “No IRIS Act,” introduced in both the House and Senate, would prohibit the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from using scientific assessments conducted by its Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) program. This move, championed by industry lobbyists and their allies in Congress, threatens to gut the EPA’s ability to regulate harmful chemicals, leaving Americans exposed to carcinogens and other toxins.
The No IRIS Act is not about reducing bureaucracy — it’s about handing over public health decisions to corporations with a vested interest in keeping dangerous chemicals on the market. This is not conservatism; this is corruption. Read full article >
#4 – We Are On The Verge Of Completing An Impressive Trifecta: A Stock Market ‘Correction’, A Global Trade War And A Government Shutdown All At The Same Time
By Michael Snyder | The Economic Collapse Blog
We certainly do live in “interesting” times. In all my years of writing, I have never seen a stock market correction, a global trade war and a government shutdown all happen at the same time. If the federal government does indeed shut down on Friday, we will complete that very impressive trifecta. Needless to say, a government shutdown would only add to the jitters that we are witnessing on Wall Street right now. On Thursday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down for a fourth day in a row, and the S&P 500 fell into correction territory… Read full article >
#5 – Satanist Group Allowed to Hold ‘Black Mass’ Inside Kansas State Capitol
By Emily Mangiaracina | LifeSite News
A “black mass” is planned to dedicate the Kansas legislature “to the glory of Satan” inside the state capitol on March 28.
“We will be performing rites to the Black Mass and indulging in sacrilegious blaspheme (sic),” The Satanic Grotto wrote on a Facebook event page. “God will fall and Kansas will be embraced by the black flame of Lucifer.”
Michael Stewart, a leader of the independent satanic group, posted to the event page a copy of a letter from the Kansas Capitol Events Coordinator addressed to him, stating, “Your request for the Satanic Grotto is approved. The Capitol Dedication to Satan will be held on Friday, March 28, 2025, from 10 a.m. — 2 p.m. in the SH 1st floor Rotunda at the NE Quad.” Read full article >
