The Duran – Populism and the Deep State w/Robert Barnes

The Final Solution of Gaza is Imminent

The Times of Israel reported this week that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that the ethnic cleansing of the population in Gaza is a condition for ending the United States and Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza.  Netanyahu referred to Trump’s plan to expel the Palestinians from Gaza as “revolutionary” and “brilliant.”

Furthermore, The Times of Israel reported a few weeks ago that Netanyahu testified before the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that Israel is “destroying more and more houses [in Gaza and Palestinians accordingly] have nowhere to return.”  He also said, “The only obvious result will be Gazans choosing to emigrate outside of the Strip.  But our main problem is finding countries to take them in.”

This week Israel finally allowed a minimum amount of aid into Gaza after subjecting Gaza to a total blockade of aid since March 2nd.  Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich explained that allowing a small amount of aid was necessary to appease pro-Israel US lawmakers, who do not want the public to see pictures of starving Gazans, which would undermine their ability to enthusiastically support the ongoing Shoah or Holocaust in Gaza.

Drop Site News reported that Smotrich explained that allowing aid in would enable, “our friends in the world to continue to provide us with an international umbrella of protection against the Security Council and the Hague Tribunal, and for us to continue to fight, God willing, until victory.”

He also said, “The [aid] that will enter Gaza in the coming days is the tiniest amount. A handful of bakeries that will hand out pita bread to people in public kitchens.  People in Gaza will get a pita and a food plate, and that’s it.  Exactly what we are seeing in the videos: people standing in line and waiting to have someone serve them, with some soup plate.”

Smotrich further elaborated on Israel’s systematic destruction of Gaza, “We are disassembling Gaza, and leaving it as piles of rubble, with total destruction [which has] no precedent globally. And the world isn’t stopping us.  There are pressures.  There are those who attack [us]; they are trying to [make us] stop; they are not succeeding.  You know why they aren’t succeeding?  Because we are navigating [the campaign] responsibly and wisely, and that’s how we’ll continue to do [it].”

Yair Golan of the center-left The Democrats Party and former deputy IDF chief-of-staff explained that Israel is murdering Gazan babies as a “hobby.”  So far, 16,000 Palestinian children have been killed in the war according to the Gaza Health Ministry, but that number is likely a very conservative estimate of the real number of deaths.

The Associated Press reported, “The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, a leading international authority on the severity of hunger crises, has warned that there could be some 71,000 cases of malnourished children between now and March.  In addition, nearly 17,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women will need treatment for acute malnutrition in the coming months.”

Israel, with the full-backing of the US national-security state, wants to murder as many people in Gaza as possible and whoever survives the Shoah will be expelled to make way for their puppet Donald Trump to develop a resort in Gaza.

Tucker Carlson – Harmeet Dhillon’s War on the Discrimination Against White Christians and DOJ Corruption

The Trump administration is a revolutionary, transformative presidency. It seeks to restore the American republic to its original constitutional status as the guardian of rights and liberties by forcefully challenging the despotic tyranny and regimentation of the governing elites composing the regulatory captured bureaucratic administrative state and its corrupt crony enablers, particularly in Big Pharma, the warmongers of the military industrial complex, and the invasive surveillance/intelligence deep state at the core of this infamy. Along with Vice President J. D, Vance, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Justice Harmeet Dillion fully understands her crucial role in confronting and eviscerating the deep state and its institutional actors and covert appendages. This long-standing, pervasive, insidious corruption demands the commanding attention she is providing in rooting it out root and branch.

The National Security Deep State, driven by the imperial presidency, an acquiescent congress and a complacent federal judiciary, has destroyed the American Republic. Their egregious welfare-warfare state, enabled by the Fed, fosters and promotes the profligacy and dependency which is at the root of this destructive process. Because of its clandestine nature and covert linkages to organized crime syndicates worldwide, ruthlessness, assassinations, regime change, drug and human trafficking, extortion and racketeering, money laundering, cyber-crime, and corruption are not aberrations or breakdowns of the deep state, but absolutely endemic to it.

Trump the Tax Raiser

President Trump says he is okay with taxing individuals making more than $2.5 million per year and couples earning above $5 million at a rate of 39.6%. The current top rate is 37% for those making above $626,350, but this is set to expire at the end of the year.

Volcanic White Gold: A Lithium Deposit Valued at $1.5 Trillion Has Been Discovered in the U.S.

Volcanic white gold: A lithium deposit valued at $1.5 trillion has been discovered in the U.S.

 

By Jordan Joseph

Earth.com staff writer

McDermitt Caldera in Oregon is attracting attention for what could be one of the largest lithium deposits ever identified in the United States. Many view it as a potential boost for domestic battery production, while local communities voice concern over the impact on wildlife and cultural sites.

The excitement stems from estimates that value the deposit at about $1.5 trillion. Some geologists say these ancient volcanic sediments could contain between 20 and 40 million metric tons of lithium.

Lithium deposit exposes priorities

“This feature is 16 million years old, and we’re making decisions in a matter of years,” said Sammy Castonguay, a geologist at Treasure Valley Community College.

Castonguay’s statement has stirred local debate over how the development might reshape the high desert.

Industry advocates see a path to addressing the ballooning need for electric vehicle batteries.

Neighbors around the caldera and the McDermitt deposit worry that large-scale extraction could damage an ecosystem that supports pronghorn antelope, sage-grouse, and other sensitive species.

The environmental dilemma

proposal from HiTech Minerals Inc. seeks to add roads and hundreds of wells to test for lithium in Malheur County.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) once offered a brief window for public comment, which drew criticism from groups who say that’s not enough time to evaluate lasting changes.

The Oregon Chapter of the Sierra Club indicates they support cleaner energy but believe drilling must not come at the expense of fragile habitats.

Some see parallels to disputes in Nevada, where communities have fought lithium ventures they say threaten water sources.

Malheur County is among Oregon’s poorest areas, and certain residents hope new jobs might brighten its economic outlook.

“We need to do this the Oregon way – with full accountability and shared benefits,” said Greg Smith, director of economic development in Malheur County.

Why lithium deposits are so valuable

Cleaner transportation and renewable energy storage have skyrocketed demand for lithium. Its light weight and excellent electrochemical properties make it key in modern battery production.

Global interest in ramping up supply has fueled both exploration and debate. Many want a homegrown source to cut reliance on overseas materials, but critics stress that extracting metals can have lasting ecological implications.

Mining typically means large excavations, chemical processing, and water usage. Press releases and early studies mention concerns about dust, vehicle exhaust, and possible leakage of industrial byproducts.

Meanwhile, some economists argue that lithium’s high market price presents an opportunity to jump-start local development. Balancing those perspectives can be tough for rural communities.

Unique volcanic origins

Past eruptions formed the caldera and left mineral-rich clays across a wide basin. The environment eventually became a semi-arid habitat that’s important for migrating wildlife.

One study found high levels of lithium in these sediments, suggesting an unusually concentrated resource. Analysts say that if extraction methods prove efficient, the U.S. could rank among the top global suppliers of this metal.

The caldera lies near the Oregon-Nevada border. Projects on both sides have followed a similar pattern: geological surveys, land modification, and pilot drilling.

Some scientists emphasize that claystone deposits differ from salt brine operations found in South America.

Processing claystone may require more complex techniques, including acid leaching, which can raise questions about waste disposal and water safety.

Concerns for wildlife and culture

Habitat for sage-grouse is already shrinking, and many local groups fear the consequences of losing more desert terrain.

The region also holds deep cultural value for several Indigenous tribes.

Tribal leaders in nearby areas have contested past proposals by pointing to sites sacred for ceremonies and important for traditional ways of life. As the push for lithium grows, local voices want to remain central in discussions about land use.

Opponents argue that insufficient environmental reviews could harm unique species such as Lahontan cutthroat trout.

Past drilling in high desert regions showed that groundwater tables can be affected by large-scale operations. Proponents, though, say modern techniques and strong oversight may mitigate many risks.

Mixed signals on lithium’s future

Experts note that the caldera deposit could give the U.S. a competitive advantage in battery supply. At the same time, non-governmental organizations believe short-term profit shouldn’t overshadow the ecological and historical wealth found in Oregon’s high desert.

Mining companies emphasize their intent to follow federal standards and incorporate feedback from local communities. Yet friction persists over whether that outreach is genuine.

Sierra Club Oregon suggests it’s possible to develop lithium alternatives or find better ways to source the metal. Advocates of the project maintain that these clays represent a crucial resource in an era when every major carmaker is transitioning to electric models.

Disagreements arise from how fast these projects roll out, and whether rural populations have a real say in shaping them.

What’s next for this lithium deposit?

Local debates often center on water needs for drilling and processing. Some scientists point out that advanced recycling and new battery chemistries might alleviate the environmental strain.

Others say U.S. projects reduce dependence on foreign supply chains, which could lower geopolitical risks.

The trade-off is that most lithium deposits, wherever they are, carry certain environmental implications. A few watchers say this moment holds a chance to reevaluate how to conduct resource extraction.

As these Oregon proposals move ahead, investors are confident that demand for lithium won’t dip anytime soon, but local communities want to ensure they aren’t left with the mess once the initial excitement fades.

The study is published in Minerals.

The Blame Game: Tariff Trump & “Too Late” Powell

The government is not shrinking, but expanding with greater spending and debt. The most exciting part of the second Trump Administration – DOGE – is fading away. REAL ID surveillance has been shackled onto us. And President Trump is arbitrarily setting tariff rates, in the same way that Jerome Powell arbitrarily sets interest rates. We need a turnaround, because the status quo is tightening its grip on America.

America’s Untold Stories – Lee Harvey Oswald: Not a Lone Gunman?

Was Lee Harvey Oswald really the lone gunman history says he was? Join Mark Groubert and Eric Hunley on America’s Untold Stories as they sit down with Greg R. Parker—acclaimed JFK historian and author of Lee Harvey Oswald’s Cold War. Parker presents groundbreaking research showing Oswald as a manipulated asset, not a rogue assassin. From Oswald’s early ties to covert training operations in New Orleans to his connections with U.S. intelligence and the CIA during the height of Cold War tensions, this episode unpacks the shadowy framework surrounding one of history’s most controversial figures. We also explore the overlooked role of Ruth Paine’s sister, the flawed Warren Commission, and how Cold War paranoia shaped the perfect patsy. Prepare for explosive insights backed by archival documents, expert testimony, and years of Parker’s meticulous research.

Greg R. Parker is an Australian author and historian renowned for his meticulous research into the life of Lee Harvey Oswald and the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Born in Newcastle, New South Wales in 1958, Parker has spent over two decades uncovering new evidence and challenging official narratives surrounding the JFK case. He is best known for his multi-volume series Lee Harvey Oswald’s Cold War, which explores Oswald’s ties to intelligence operations and Cold War programs, arguing that Oswald was groomed as an intelligence asset rather than a lone gunman. Parker’s work has been cited by leading researchers and praised for its depth, originality, and rigor. He also founded the Reopen Kennedy Case (ROKC) forum, a hub for serious researchers, and organized Australia’s first JFK assassination conference. His scholarship continues to reshape how historians and the public view one of the most controversial events in American history.

Why Do We Get Sick?

Do we Catch diseases? OR do we Build Them Over Time?

How we answer these questions determines Which Path we choose to go through.

If we believe in viruses as contagious, disease-causing entities they become for us an existential threat.

This path of following virology’s pseudoscience is now used to control populations in every possible way by keeping us in a constant state of fear.

If, on the other hand, we look just a little bit further and see beyond the catching-a-virus-model, we need to ask: Well, then, Why Do We Get Sick?

In this short 7 minute video Dr Sam Bailey examines 40 different reasons why we may be getting sick – many of which you may not have considered.

If we choose to answer the question above that We Build Illnesses Over Time then we need to be aware – and vigilant – of MANY things that – together – can eventually make us sick.

The really good news is that learning more about this This Path leads to greater overall health and – significantly – living life without unnecessary fear.

I urge you to watch this short – and very profound – video, HERE, and – please – share it with all those you care about.

Genuflecting to His Political Financiers and Puppet Masters

From Javier Milei’s X profile:

“On this day, 77 years ago, a state was born, modern yet ancient.  77 years of miracles, hope, courage, and determination.

77 years where FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY rose above the DARKNESS.  I congratulate the State of Israel on its short but glorious 77 years of existence.  A country small in size but immense in spirit.  Like Argentina, Israel is a beacon of FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY.

AM ISRAEL JAI!

VLLC!

(The Israeli Constitution, as in The Communist Manifesto, makes it illegal to own private property.  That, it would seem, makes it difficult to call it a “beacon of freedom”).  Among other things.
