"James Webb Telescope Just Alerted The World"

"An alleged JWST leak shows 3I/ATLAS with a perfectly symmetric CO₂ halo, internal infrared brightness, and prime-number pulse patterns unlike any known comet. Trajectory modeling points to ecliptic-plane alignment and precise, non-ballistic course corrections that look intentionally guided. Sudden data lockouts, military retaskings, and quiet space-plane movements suggest the object is being treated as a strategic unknown. Decoded signals hint at phased transmissions and a chilling countdown as 3I/ATLAS approaches the Mars–Earth corridor. This video assembles the anomalies, models, and contested “leaks” to ask the central question: beacon, probe, or an intelligence arriving on schedule?"

They've discovered 4, possibly 6, larger objects coming in on the same exact vector as I3/Atlas, which may be a scout ship for a larger fleet arriving in strength. Their purpose unknown, all conjecture at this point, but data verified. We shall see... - CP

"A Look to the Heavens"

“NGC 3199 lies about 12,000 light-years away, a glowing cosmic cloud in the nautical southern constellation of Carina. The nebula is about 75 light-years across in this narrowband, false-color view. Though the deep image reveals a more or less complete bubble shape, it does look very lopsided with a much brighter edge along the top. 

Near the center is a Wolf-Rayet star, a massive, hot, short-lived star that generates an intense stellar wind. In fact, Wolf-Rayet stars are known to create nebulae with interesting shapes as their powerful winds sweep up surrounding interstellar material. In this case, the bright edge was thought to indicate a bow shock produced as the star plowed through a uniform medium, like a boat through water. But measurements have shown the star is not really moving directly toward the bright edge. So a more likely explanation is that the material surrounding the star is not uniform, but clumped and denser near the bright edge of windblown NGC 3199.”

"People are Worried! Affordability Crisis"

"America's affordability crisis is hitting hard, and it’s affecting everyone, no matter where they live or how much they make. From skyrocketing rent prices in cities like New York and Los Angeles to businesses shutting down and job losses mounting, people are struggling to keep up. In this video, I break down the harsh realities of rising costs, the impact on everyday life, and what it means for the future of our economy. You won’t believe some of the stories I share, like a subprime auto lender going bankrupt and wild credit schemes that seem straight out of a crime show. Are you feeling the pinch too? Trust me, you’re not alone. Let’s talk about what’s really going on and how people are trying to adapt. Plus, I share some tips on preparing for unexpected challenges, like power grid failures and economic uncertainty."

"Mass Formation Psychosis, Or... Mass Hypnosis - The Madness Of Crowds"

"Mass Formation Psychosis,

Or... Mass Hypnosis - The Madness Of Crowds"

by Robert W Malone MD, MS

"As many of you know, I have spent time researching and speaking about mass psychosis theory. Most of what I have learned has come from Dr. Mattias Desmet, who realized that this form of mass hypnosis, of the madness of crowds, can account for the strange phenomenon of about 20-30% of the population in the western world becoming entranced with the Noble Lies and dominant narrative concerning the safety and effectiveness of the genetic vaccines, and both propagated and enforced by politicians, science bureaucrats, pharmaceutical companies and legacy media.

What one observed with the mass hypnosis was that a large fraction of the population was completely unable to process new scientific data and facts demonstrating that they have been misled about the effectiveness and adverse impacts of mandatory mask use, lockdowns, and genetic vaccines that cause people’s bodies to make large amounts of biologically active coronavirus Spike protein.

These hypnotized by this process were unable to recognize the lies and misrepresentations they are being bombarded with on a daily basis, and actively attacked anyone who had the temerity to share information with them which contradicts the propaganda that they have come to embrace. And for those whose families and social networks had been torn apart by this process, and who found that close relatives and friends had ghosted them because they questioned the officially endorsed “truth” and were actually following the scientific literature, this can be a source of deep anguish, sorrow and psychological pain.

It is with those souls in mind that I included a discussion of the mass formation theory of Dr. Mattias Desmet during a talk I gave in Tampa, Florida to an audience of about 2,000. As I looked out into the audience and spoke, I could see relief on many faces, and even tears running from the eyes of stoic men.

A brief overview of Mass Formation, which was developed by Dr. Mattias Desmet. He is a psychologist and a statistician. He is at the University of Ghent in Belgium. I think Dr. Mattias is onto something about what is happening and he calls this phenomena:

Mass Formation Psychosis: So, when he says “mass” formation, you can think of this as equivalent to “crowd” formation. One can think of this as: crowd psychosis. The conditions to set up mass formation psychosis include lack of social connectedness and sense making as well as large amounts of latent anxiety and passive aggression. When people are inundated with a narrative that presents a plausible "object of anxiety" and strategy for coping with it, then many individuals group together to battle the object with a collective single mindedness. This allows people to stop focusing on their own problems, avoiding personal mental anguish. Instead, they focus all their thought and energy on this new object.

As mass formation progresses, the group becomes increasingly bonded and connected. Their field of attention is narrowed and they become unable to consider alternative points of view. Leaders of the movement are revered, unable to do no wrong.

Left unabated, a society under the spell of mass formation will support a totalitarian governance structure capable of otherwise unthinkable atrocities in order to maintain compliance. A note: mass formation is different from group think. There are easy ways to fix group think by just bringing in dissenting voices and making sure you give them platforms. It isn’t so easy with mass formation. Even when the narrative falls apart, cracks in the strategy clearly aren’t solving the issue, the hypnotized crowd can’t break free of the narrative. This is what happened with COVID-19. The solution for those in control of the narrative is to produce bigger and bigger lies to prop up the solution. Those being controlled by mass formation no longer are able to use reason to break free of the group narrative.

Of course, the obvious example of mass formation is Germany in the 1930s and 40s. How could the German people who were highly educated, very liberal in the classic sense; western thinking people… how could they go so crazy and do what they did to the Jews? How could this happen? To a civilized people? A leader of a mass formation movement will use the platform to continue to pump the group with new information to focus on. I like to use the term “fear porn.” Leaders, through main stream media and government channels continuously feed the “beast” with more messaging that focus and further hypnotize their adherents. We've seen the exact same process with Ukraine.

Studies suggest that mass formation follows a general distribution:

● 30% are brainwashed, hypnotized, indoctrinated by the group narrative.

● 40% in the middle are persuadable and may follow if no worthy alternative is perceived.

● 30% fight against the narrative.

Those that rebel and fight against the narrative, become the enemy of the brainwashed and a primary target of aggression. One of the the best ways to counter mass formation is for those against the narrative to continue to speak out against it, which serves to help break the hypnosis of some in the brainwashed group as well as persuade the persuadable middle to choose reason over mindlessness.

Dr. Desmet suggests that the only way to break the mass formation psychosis is to give the crowd something bigger to focus on. He believes that totalitarianism may be that bigger issue. Of course, after COVID-19, global totalitarianism may be the biggest issue of our time."

"Feeling Fed Up with Humanity, In the World and in Ourselves"

"Feeling Fed Up with Humanity, 

In the World and in Ourselves"

by Madisyn Taylor, The DailyOM

"We are all capable of the best and the worst that humanity has to offer and knowing this allows us to find compassion. From time to time, we may all feel fed up with humanity, whether it’s from learning about what’s going on around the world, or what’s going on next door. There are always situations that leave us feeling as if people are simply not capable of behaving in a way that is coming from a place of awareness. Often it seems as if people are actually geared to handle things in the worst possible way, repeatedly. At the same time, none of us wants to linger in a judgmental mood about our own species. As a result, we might tend to repress the feelings coming up as we take in the news from the world and the neighborhood.

It is natural to feel let down and disappointed when we see our fellow humans behaving in ways that are greedy, selfish, violent, or uncaring, but there are also ways to process that disappointment without sinking into despondency. As with any emotional response, we honor our feelings by feeling them fully, without judging or acting on them. Once we’ve done that—and we may need to do it every day, as part of our daily self-care—we can begin to consider ways that we might help the situation in which humanity finds itself.

As always, we start with ourselves, utilizing our awareness of the failings of others to renew our own commitment to be more conscious human beings. We are all capable of the best and the worst that humanity has to offer, and remembering this keeps us in check, as well as allowing us to find compassion for others. We may find ourselves feeling compelled to serve people who are suffering injustices at the hands of other people, or we may begin to speak out when we see something that we don’t think is right. Whatever the case, the only thing we can do is pledge to serve the best, rather than the worst, of what humanity has to offer, both in the world, and in ourselves."

"The Wisdom of Ben Hecht"

"The Wisdom of Ben Hecht"

by Paul Rosenberg

"I was introduced to Ben Hecht, many years ago now, by my friend Paul Greenfield. Like most people of my generation I had never heard of him. He had been fairly famous some decades earlier, known first for his cynical and cutting criticisms, then as Hollywood’s premier script doctor. Here’s a typical Hecht aside: "Trying to determine what is going on in the world by reading newspapers is like trying to tell the time by watching the second hand of a clock."

And here’s one of the greatest telegrams of all time, and the one that brought him to Hollywood. It was sent to him by his friend, Herman Mankiewicz: "Millions are to be grabbed out here and your only competition is idiots. Don’t let this get around."

As the years went by, however, and as his fame ebbed and flowed, Hecht became something more. In fact, he became a thinker of great depth, and I’m quite sure you’ll benefit from spending some time with his thoughts. And so here, without embellishment, are the Hecht entries in my quotes file. Enjoy:

"Like the actor, authority has faith in its false whiskers. But its deepest faith is in the human illusion. People will hang on to illusion as eagerly as life itself." ("Perfidy")

"The idea that there was something more powerful in life than the whim of kings, that there was a justice that the mind could impose on the might of nations, began with the Jews. The Jews were the artists and egoists of this idea. It was so powerful an idea that they, with artistic modesty, had to attribute it to God rather than to themselves." ("Guide For The Bedeviled")

"A simple fact entered my head one day and put an end to my revolt against the Deity. It occurred to me that God was not engaged in corrupting the mind of man but in creating it. This may sound like no fact at all, or like the most childish of quibbles. But whatever it is, it brought me a sigh of relief, a slightly bitter sigh. I was relieved because instead of beholding a man as a finished and obviously worthless product, unable to bring sanity into human affairs, I looked on him as a creature in the making. And lo, I was aware that like my stooped and furry brothers, the apes, I am God’s incomplete child. My groping brain, no less than my little toe, is a mechanism in His evolution-busy hands." ("A Child of The Century")

"There is also a new sort of fame in our day that has never quite been known before. It is a fame seemingly invented out of whole cloth, based upon nothing and needing only a press agent to keep it alive. This new species of fame does not wait for a man to win a race or a worldly prize before riveting its neon light on his head… They are famous for stopping in hotels, for holding hands in public, for speaking to each other, for having babies, for getting invited to parties… So deep is the limbo into which industry, politics and overpopulation is shoving us, that we ask of fame that it makes us aware of men rather than supermen. A depersonalized citizenry avid for identity has invented this new type of fame. The lonely city dwellers, whose human faces are lost in the shuffle of world problems and mechanized existence, elect representatives to live for them." ("A Child of The Century")

"They are unable to think except in homage to other thoughts." ("A Child of The Century")

"The mystery was chiefly this – that there was seemingly a tiny proportion of the human family born without greed, who entered life without a fear of tomorrow, without an urge to lose themselves safely in the known and practical words of their elders." ("A Child of The Century")

"… a time darkened by the pall of government." ("A Child of The Century")

"The more we let others sing, dance and perform for us, the more empty we become." ("A Child of The Century")

"It grows ever harder to make friends in a complex world, for friendship requires contact. But one can make enemies of those one has never seen or heard. This lonely enemy-making activity is becoming more and more the American way." ("A Child of The Century")

"… most of his exaltations have nothing to do with himself." ("A Child of The Century")

"To my astonishment, there appeared a man I hardly knew with totally alien moods. That man was I. I seemed to be looking with eyes I never had used on a planet not yet inhabited… The sense that life was new, and all land and sea were at their beginnings made me happy… I had the illusion of being distributed around various parts of the room in which I lay. There seemed to be a number of me’s, and try as I would I was unable to assemble them. I was fascinated with being a number of people and discussed this with Rose and her sister Minna. I had no thought for my illness, and the fact that Rose and the doctors believed me seriously ill seemed absurd. I had never felt so remarkably alive, nor so full of eagerness…

It was a white, sunlit hospital room in which visitors sat and talked. But I looked on a strange world in this room. I had never known or felt this room before. It was a world of gentleness. My heart ached with happiness when I beheld it. The kindliness of the faces than beheld me, the fine, cool talent of the doctors and nurses that tended me were only a part of the gentleness that embraced me. The gentleness was mostly something within me. I looked on everything with love. As the days passed, each morning became a rendezvous at which I arrived eager and smiling. I needed no visitors, books or music to keep me diverted. The day flying in through the window was enough. The sky darkening, the night coming delighted me. The word God did not enter my head, but a word that seemed the same was always there. It was the word life. I felt a gentleness toward people because they were part of a happy mystery of moving and breathing. I was pleased by the way they walked and felt close to all who came into my room, including the hospital barber, as if they were kinsfolk. 

I returned to Nyak on the day Jenny was having a birthday party. The garden was filled with the voices of her four-and-five-year-old friends. Their whoops and squeals of joy seemed the perfect sounds of mankind… I though of the possibility of dying and found myself smiling at the impossibility of such an event. The love that had come to me a few weeks ago swelled my heart and brightened the room… again I lay through dreamy hours, making love to time as if it were a dancing girl… There were few thoughts in my head. At times I remembered incidents of past years and made notes of them. The memories were curiously alike. They were all happy. I loved not only what was around me, but all that had ever been. Gratitudes I had never felt brought tears to my eyes at night and I wondered what I could do to thank the sea, the stars and the multitude of days through which I had come. After a few weeks I bought a stock of pencils and began to write this book." ("A Child of The Century")

main stream media would report it today...

"Golden Disobedience"

"Golden Disobedience"

by Sandy Sandfort

"Inertia is a human frailty. Too often, we go along to get along. We conform. Because of this, those who claim authority can get most of us to do their bidding if it comes with a plausible justification and is only incremental. We get nickel-and-dimed to death, the death of a thousand cuts.

Back on April 5, 1933, His Majesty, Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR), had a pen and a telephone. So he issued Executive Order 6102, which made it a federal crime for Americans to own or trade gold anywhere in the world. There were some minor exceptions for some jewelry, industrial uses, collectors’ coins, and dental gold, but the vast majority of the gold had to be turned in. My father instantly understood what was going on and he didn’t like it. “They’re going to devalue the dollar!” he predicted.

Roosevelt didn’t give much time to comply either. The deadline was May 1. And if Americans did not comply, they faced criminal prosecution under the Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917. Scofflaws were looking at a fine of up to $10,000 (1933 dollars, about a third of a million dollars today) and up to ten years in prison. My parents made the conscious decision to become outlaws.

At every possible opportunity for the next three weeks (and substantially longer), my parents followed Gresham’s law (“Bad money drives out good.”), not federal law. They spent paper and collected gold. My father was a dentist, so he could own some dental gold, but that wasn’t enough. He wanted to covert as much paper into gold as possible. So he gave his patients discounts for payment in gold. “Sam,” a neighbor who was a banker, also helped collect gold for himself and my parents. They would repay his help later when they periodically ‘laundered’ gold for him and themselves.

Even after the deadline, gold still kept coming in. Mostly it was from people who didn’t have the time or the inclination to turn in their gold to the government. However, many feared prosecution and were happy to deal with my parents instead of FDR. Plus they got a better deal.

So where did they launder their tidy little nest egg? Why, “South of the Border, Down Mexico Way,” of course. Mexico had no Executive Order 6102. My mother was born in the mountains above Albuquerque, New Mexico, and spoke fluent Spanish. She and my father loved traveling though the backwaters of Mexico. At first, they traveled alone, and later, after my brother and I came along, the whole family (including the dog) would go exploring in the land of mañana. (Somewhere there is a picture of me, age one, sitting on a portable potty, experiencing my first-ever bout with “Montezuma’s revenge.”)

My parents carried whatever gold they intended to sell, stashed in the car or on their person. The usual routine was to go to the section of town where casas de cambio were found. (Think of it as the “Street of the Money Changers.”) My mother – all 5’1” of her – would go down the street and show a gold double eagle to every money changer at every kiosk and storefront. In Spanish, she would ask, “How much will you pay for these?” When she found the best price, she would give my father the high sign. He would join her and they would conclude the deal. Sometimes the gold was theirs, sometimes, Sam’s. Sometimes they got pesos and sometimes dollars, depending on what they needed at the time. So, the ‘illicit’ gold paid for a fun trip and got converted to ‘clean’ funds for themselves and Sam. What’s the crime in that?

And the Beat Goes On…My family never showed much respect for government laws, per se. No victim, no crime, even if the government disagreed. The general ethical belief of the Sandfort family was pretty much in harmony with the Golden Rule. It had worked for cultures and religions for thousands of years and it worked for us. That was our law. Man-made laws either adhere to the Golden Rule (don’t murder people, duh) and so are unnecessary, or they violate it, such as “The War on (Some) Drugs,” so they were nominally complied with, ignored, or circumvented.

So, when wartime laws said that a seller had to follow certain rationing rules to sell his own products, many buyers and sellers simply conspired to make their own decisions. When my parents needed and could afford a new car for business, the local Chevy dealer was happy to ‘cook the books,’ take their money, and give them a new sedan.

Later, when my family traveled in that car and others, my mother would prepare food for us to eat as we drove. We stopped only for gas… and the agricultural inspection station at the California state line. Of course, we had items that we were required by law to declare, but if you hide them in your backpack or under the car seat and lie, you can save a lot of time and keep from having to throw away perfectly good food. And then there was the time we smuggled a live Mexican iguana in a cigar box, but don’t get me started…"

"Political Violence"

"Political Violence"

by Financial Preparedness

"You can tell a lot about a person by how they react when someone dies."

 ~ Charlie Kirk, Twitter post from 11/27/16

"I'd like to begin this issue by clarifying something for the record: Generally, I don't have ill will towards anyone and hope that no one ever gets hurt. As a libertarian, I believe that everyone has the right to live their life as they see fit (as long as they don't use force or fraud against peaceful people).

Shortly before I heard about Charlie Kirk's assassination, I read the following in A Better Way to Live by Og Mandino: “RULE TEN: Beginning today, treat everyone you meet, friend or foe, loved one or stranger, as if they were going to be dead at midnight. Extend to each person, no matter how trivial the contact, all the care and kindness and understanding and love that you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.”

On August 22, a 23-year old Ukrainian refugee named Iryna Zarutska (who looked like she weighed less than 100 pounds) boarded a train in Charlotte, NC and sat down. Moments later, she was fatally stabbed in the neck by Decarlos Brown, Jr., who has a long criminal record (at least 14 arrests since 2011) and has been diagnosed with schizophrenia. His own mother previously said the court should have never let him be out in the community knowing he had mental health issues and previous arrests. In this video (a MUST WATCH), Jesse Watters reports that “DEI consultants” with no law degree posing as judges in a kangaroo court repeatedly facilitated this societal suicide. Unbelievably, two GoFundMe fundraisers were established for the assailant.

Five other passengers were sitting behind or beside Iryna, and despite her blood dripping all over the floor from the knife, they didn't say or do anything and acted as if nothing was amiss as she quickly collapsed and bled out. Perhaps to them it looked like just another day on public transit. Or maybe they learned a lesson from the Daniel Penny case: If you try to protect innocent people from being attacked by savages, the government might prosecute you.

As I watched the videos of the attack, I noticed how Iryna seemed too shocked to do anything - certainly shocked that she had been stabbed, but (after glancing at her fellow passengers) shocked that they were doing nothing to help her or apprehend her attacker. For a moment her mind seemed to be grappling with cognitive dissonance. “How could this be happening in the United States, a 'safe' country that I fled to to escape violence? Why did this man attack me? What did I do to deserve this?”

On the afternoon of September 10, many Americans must have had that same look of shock and horror on their face when they learned that 31-year old Charlie Kirk (a husband and father of two) had been shot while engaging with several thousand students at a university, something he's done probably hundreds of times before.

He was often one of the only conservative voices on campus, listening to students, taking their questions, asking many thought-provoking questions of his own, and perhaps helping them see controversial issues from a different perspective. Despite not having a college degree, he was extremely knowledgeable and well-reasoned. He was not there to win a debate or belittle anyone but to persuade them using facts, logic and reason, and he was very effective (as this poster on X argues). He was also strikingly kind and gracious.

At the time of his death, he was engaging in one of the most vital and honorable of American practices: free speech, which Norman Rockwell immortalized in this painting from 1943:

As he told Tucker Carlson in an interview, Charlie was obsessed with de-radicalizing the country within the next couple of years. Not only was he instrumental in helping Trump and other conservatives win in 2024, he was able to strongly influence the political views of young adults, who will be voters for a long time to come. As a possible future presidential candidate, he was irreplaceable. And that's why they had to kill him.

Charlie himself warned about “assassination culture” back in April:

I remember how I felt on September 11, 2001. It was a beautiful autumn morning and I had just gotten out of the shower when a friend called to let me know that a plane had hit the World Trade Center. As a libertarian, I was horrified by what I knew the government was going to do (I greatly underestimated what it would ultimately be capable of), and I dreaded the future.

Something changed in the national psyche on September 10, 2025. A line was crossed and our illusions were dispelled. It was one of our last innocent moments as a country. Collectively, we were shocked and saddened that apparently we can't sort out our differences with discussion and debate, and sobered by the implications of that and the weight of the task now ahead of us.

As one poster eloquently described it on X: “I hope I'm wrong. But tonight feels like some sort of invisible line has been crossed that we didn't even know was there. The last time I felt like this was 9/11 when it was clear that the world was about to change forever. Like the rules of the game had been permanently altered and there was simply no going back to the innocent, peaceful past. But to murder a young father simply for doing debates and mobilizing young people to vote for a party that represents half of America? This is something else. I fear his murder will be a tragedy for all of us in ways we will only understand as time unfolds. I hope I'm wrong.” (emphasis added)

Another poster on X summarized the situation perfectly:

As a risk manager and student of complex systems and the collapse of complex societies, I am now also very concerned about a possibility that another poster on X wrote about: “The assassination of #Charlie_Kirk marks a dangerous escalation in the American cultural war, where the battle of ideas is turning into political violence against those who run organizations dedicated to debate and civil dialogue. Very few people understand the gravity of this moment. Incidents like this do not exist in isolation; they risk triggering a chain of events that can further destabilize the country. Whether it's the anti-ICE movement, pro-Palestinian agitators, anarchist networks, or permanent protest groups supported by NGOs like #Indivisible, we are witnessing the rise of something new and deeply alarming. America is entering a new era of civilian terrorism, where the goal is no longer peaceful protest, but intimidation, silencing, and destabilization.” 

As a longtime amateur political scientist, I correctly predicted several major political earthquakes, including the Republican takeover of the House in 1994 and Trump's victories in 2016 and 2024. These two murders have prompted me to make a new prediction. This is not a threat, I'm just trying to explain what's going to happen next.

To the Left: You are screwed big time. You just tangled with the wrong hombres. You sowed the wind and now you're going to reap the whirlwind. It reminds me of the quote attributed to Admiral Yamamoto after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor: “I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.” If you think the eight months under a Trump administration have been bad, you haven't seen anything yet. His victories in 2016 and 2024 were the most momentous political revolutions of my lifetime, but now, thanks to this cowardly assassin, there will be a new phase that will dwarf what has come before.

If you're a peaceful, law-abiding citizen, you'll have nothing to fear. But if you're not, your world is about to change. As Matt Walsh says towards the end of this video, we're tired - tired of the violence, crime, demonization, censorship, gaslighting, and efforts to make us poor, sick and dead. And all of this insane bullshit that we've had to endure in recent years is about to come to a screeching stop.

How? Governmental actions: Defunding, law enforcement, investigations, prosecutions, executive orders, judicial appointments, regulatory actions, etc. Democrats, who already had the lowest approval rating ever, will now be destroyed in the midterm elections next year. Trump and his supporters are going to plow salt into your fields, and you'll be out of power wandering in the political wilderness for a generation.

Free speech and the free flow of accurate information: Because the Legacy Media completely ignored Iryna's murder for many days if not weeks, the only reason people even heard about it is thanks to free speech-friendly platforms like X, which will now explode in popularity as Americans realize it's the only place they can find out what's going on. The Legacy Media is finished, especially since its gravy train from Big Pharma is coming to an end. Kirk's assassin thought he could silence Charlie's voice with a bullet, but all he did was turn him into a martyr that will produce a thousand more like him.

Charlie, you did great work during your short time here on Earth. You can rest in peace knowing that your death has inspired millions of people to finish the work you started."

This video assembles the anomalies, models, and contested “leaks” to ask the central question: beacon, probe, or an intelligence arriving on schedule?"

They've discovered 4, possibly 6, larger objects coming in on the same exact vector as I3/Atlas, which may be a scout ship for a larger fleet arriving in strength. Their purpose unknown, all conjecture at this point, but data verified. We shall see... - CP

“What will become of these galaxies? Spiral galaxies NGC 5426 and NGC 5427 are passing dangerously close to each other, but each is likely to survive this collision. Typically when galaxies collide, a large galaxy eats a much smaller galaxy. In this case, however, the two galaxies are quite similar, each being a sprawling spiral with expansive arms and a compact core. As the galaxies advance over the next tens of millions of years, their component stars are unlikely to collide, although new stars will form in the bunching of gas caused by gravitational tides.

Close inspection of the above image taken by the 8-meter Gemini-South Telescope in Chile shows a bridge of material momentarily connecting the two giants. Known collectively as Arp 271, the interacting pair spans about 130,000 light years and lies about 90 million light-years away toward the constellation of Virgo. Recent predictions hold that our Milky Way Galaxy will undergo a similar collision with the neighboring Andromeda Galaxy in a few billion years.”

Chet Raymo, “Angling For Happiness”

“Angling For Happiness”

by Chet Raymo

“There is a concept in physics called angle of repose. Set an object, a book say, on a plank. Now slowly tip up one end of the plank until the moment when the book just starts to slide. The angle between the plank and the horizontal is the angle of repose, where the component of the gravitational force down the plank becomes greater than the maximum friction force holding the book at rest. Or, in more evocative terms - as I write I am lying on the couch with the laptop in my lap, in perfect repose. If you started tipping up the couch, at some point I'd go sliding into a heap at the bottom. That's the angle of repose, or perhaps it would be more accurate to call it the angle of the end of repose.

This comes to mind because I just spent fifteen minutes on my knees in the yard watching ants excavate a nest in the ground. One by one they scurry out of the hole carrying a tiny grain of sand, which they dump in a ring around the hole. A circular pile. Now if the ants just dumped their burdens at the mouth of the hole, pretty soon the pile would get so steep that the sand grains would slide back into the hole. Instead, the circular ring gets higher and wider, with a slope that never exceeds the angle at which the grains will slip - the angle of repose. Now here's the thing: the ants almost invariably carry their grain to just beyond the top of the pile. If the grain slips, it will slide away from the hole. These tiny ants, hardly bigger than sand grains themselves, understand a little physics in their mysterious instinctive way.

Wallace Stegner has a novel titled "Angle of Repose." It is indeed an evocative phrase. In a job, in a relationship, in life itself, many of us instinctively seek that maximum degree of individual gratification that will satisfy emotional needs without doing violence to our essential repose, and that of those around us - the art of walking close to the edge, the thrill without the spill. Every day in the news we hear of folks - politicians or celebrities - who tipped the plank too far, whose lives went sliding into self-destruction, who failed to grasp, metaphorically speaking, something that a tiny ant instinctively understands.”

"A Light in the Darkness"

"A Light in the Darkness"

How ideas can transform the world...

by Joel Bowman

“All changes in the realm of human affairs are brought 

about by ideas. Ideas and only ideas can light the darkness. 

They are the main weapons in man’s struggle for survival and advancement.”

~ Ludwig von Mises, from "Human Action" (1949)

Buenos Aires, Argentina - "When we left you earlier this week, we were ruminating on an important subject: ideas. We’re interested in their origin. Their transmission. Their ultimate value, be it good, bad... or ugly. The subject may appear abstract, even esoteric... but ideas lead to actions, and actions have consequences, sometimes grave ones.

One man has an idea to go to college campuses around America and talk to his political opponents. Another man has the idea to kill him. Now, a young man – a husband and a father – is dead. RIP Charlie Kirk. That the statement “People should not be murdered for expressing different opinions” even needs to be uttered is indeed a sad commentary on the state of affairs in the world today.

Clearly, not all ideas are created equally. And yet, it is man’s ability to generate ideas, to conceptualize the future before he attempts to shape it, that sets him apart from his fellow creatures. As the great Austrian School economist, Ludwig Von Mises, wrote in his 1949 magnum opus, Human Action:

“The genuine history of mankind is the history of ideas. It is ideas that distinguish man from all other beings. Ideas engender social institutions, political changes, technological methods of production, and all that is called economic conditions. And in searching for their origin we inevitably come to a point at which all that can be asserted is that a man had an idea.”

The question, then, is how to promote and embrace the ideas that serve man best... and jettison those that would drag him asunder, that would threaten his wellbeing, and even end his life?

Deep Deregulation: Down here on the Pampas, the battle of ideas rages on. After testing the idea of collectivism for three generations – and suffering the all-too-predictable results – the Argentine people have chosen to give the idea of liberty a go. That is, rather than have the State (mis)manage their lives, intervening in their private affairs, regulating their commercial interests, governing their trade, smothering their economy and inflating away the value of their savings, they’ve decided to abrogate the State’s power... and return it to the people.

As of this week, there have been almost 9,000 deregulations across all levels of government. From Minister of Deregulation Fede Sturzenegger’s office:

The “Ley Bases,” or the so-called “Mega Decree” indicated by the dotted line in the graph above, represented hundreds of regulatory changes and rollbacks, including the abolition of entire registries, the repeal of restrictive rent control laws and massive liberation of the labor markets. Basically, everything Zohran Mamdani would like to see implemented in New York City has been repealed here in Argentina.

The sweeping reforms also extend to the removal of trade barriers (such as import/export taxes, tariffs, licenses and other such meddlesome duties) and deep and ongoing cuts to government staff, including 48,000 public sector jobs axed. (For those keeping score at home, that’s almost 10% of the entire government “work” force... with deeper cuts promised.)

Meanwhile, over on the economic front, the latest data shows inflation down more than 92% since Milei’s administration came to office. August’s read came in at 1.9%, the fourth consecutive month under 2%. That’s down to 33% per year, from a high of almost 300% in April last year, and equates to an annualized rate of 22.7% over the past 4 months.

(Source: INDEC)

Importantly, key sectors came in below the average rate, including Healthcare (1.7%), Food and Drink (1.4%), Homegoods and Maintenance (0.9%) and Recreation and Culture (0.5%). Clothing and Footwear even saw a slight deflation, down 0.3% for the month. Good news for people who eat, drink, play, dress and shelter, in other words... bad news for people who run peso printing presses and think the solution to being in a hole is to keep digging.

Of course, none of this has come about by accident or happenstance. Rather, it is the logical result of specific actions predicated on very specific ideas. It’s “ideas all the way down,” you might say. “Every social order is based on ideologies,” wrote Mises, “not on material forces. Even the mightiest material power is nothing but an instrument for the service of ideas.” It matters a great deal, therefore, which ideas we get right... and which we get wrong.

The idea that individuals ought to be in charge of their own lives, that man (and not someone claiming ownership over him) possesses the right to self-determination, including his right to hold an opinion and express it if he so wishes, is a fundamental concept upon which any free society is founded. At its core, it is the idea that cooperation is preferable to coercion, that freedom trumps force, and that voluntarism prevails over violence. Liberty, in other words. It may be “just” an idea... but it’s one worth living for. Stay tuned for more Notes From the End of the World..."

"A Deal With the Devil"

"A Deal With the Devil"

Now the Devil is demanding his due…

by Charles Hugh Smith

"Unbeknownst to most people, America's leadership made a pact with the devil. Rather than face the constraints and injustices of our economic-financial system directly, a reckoning that would require difficult choices and some sacrifice by the ruling financial-political elites, our leaders chose the devil's Pact: Substitute the creation of asset-bubble "wealth" in the hands of the few for widespread prosperity.

The devil's promise: that some thin trickle of the trillions of dollars bestowed on the few would magically trickle down to the many. This was as visibly foolish as the promise of immortality on Planet Earth. But our craven, greedy leadership quickly sealed the deal with the devil and promptly inflated the greatest credit-asset bubble in human history. Rather than trade away one's soul, America's leaders traded away the future security and stability of the nation.

Sacrificing Innocents at the Altar of the Gods: By refusing to deal with the real problems exposed by the collapsing financial scams in 2008-09, our leaders – both the unelected Federal Reserve and the elected "best government money can buy" – chose to bail out the scammers who had greased their palms so generously and sacrificed the prosperity of the many to do so. This is more or less the equivalent of sacrificing innocents at the altar of the gods to ensure the leaders' rule will continue to be successful.

The devil was delighted to serve up the illusion of godlike powers to our corrupt, greedy leaders. The deal looked oh-so win-win: we enrich the top few percent and offload the costs and sacrifices on the powerless many, who were told that they would benefit from the trickle of cash leaking out of the super-wealthy's bulging pockets.

Of course, the Federal Reserve and the rest of the Savior State has saved us from the financial consequences of rampant speculation for decades. As a result, few of those in the casino have the necessary experience of hardship and losses to accurately assess risk. The vast majority have only experienced being saved: the most profitable response to a losing bet is to double-down on the next bet because the house (the Fed) will amply reward every "buy the dip."

The Devil Is Demanding His Due: But as I often point out, risk cannot be extinguished, it can only be transferred. Risk has been offloaded from speculators to the entire financial system itself, and so rather than a few speculators going down in flames, the entire casino will collapse.

Now the devil is demanding his due: the unprecedented credit-fueled bubbles in stocks, bonds and real estate are popping, and America's corrupt leaders can only stammer and spew excuses and empty promises. All this amounts to begging the devil to renegotiate the deal because now the downside is not just visible but inevitable. So sorry, America's leadership – the devil doesn't respond to pleas or threats. Sorry about that; the deal stands as agreed. All your bogus gains and powers will evaporate, and then the destruction really begins.

How does all this end? In ruin, of course. Our craven, self-serving leadership may well bleat, "the devil made us do it!" but that is not true: they fell all over themselves to sell the future stability and security of the nation for the quick-fix riches of bubbles and corruption. And of course, we’re staring at recession. But hey, look on the bright side…

Recessions Aren’t All Bad: Everyone looking at the inevitability of recession with alarm is forgetting the many upsides of recession, especially one that crushes all attempts to reverse it with the usual tricks. Let's not forget the simple joys of lighter traffic, faster commutes and the relative ease of getting a table at your favorite bistro – if it survives the bust.

Graveyard levity aside, there really is no equivalent to the positive force of crushing recessions. Only recessions which defy the usual tricks of monetary easing (create trillions of new dollars) and fiscal stimulus (give away a few of those new trillions) have the power to cleanse a system clogged with dysfunction, waste, fraud, corruption and financial zombies that soak of resources while doing little more than enriching the few at the expense of the many.

The problem with free money is that there's no mechanism to distinguish between waste and productive investment or fraud and productive utilization. All uses of free money are equally beneficial because if this free money is squandered, there's always more to spend tomorrow. In other words, in a system in which free money is the solution to all problems, there's no motivation to limit waste, friction or fraud because there's always enough free money for both waste, friction and fraud and needed spending and investment.

Time for Some Discipline: Recessions driven by inflation and the collapse of speculative bubbles aren't fixable with free money because free money fires up the afterburner of inflation. Once there are limits on how much free money can be created and distributed, squandering what's left means there's not enough left to fund essential services and to invest in the only real-world source of income and wealth. That’s productivity increases – doing more with less capital, labor and resources.

Only crushing recessions introduce the discipline of having to choose between waste, friction and fraud and essential services and investments. Waste, friction and fraud aren't simply gargantuan drains on resources… They corrupt the system by incentivizing friction (unproductive complexity and gatekeeping) and fraud (collusion, fraudulent billing, buying political favors, insider trading, etc.) and giving the recipients of friction and fraud the financial means to protect their fiefdoms with complexity thickets and political protection.

Recession Is the Only Cure: Financial systems that never experience crushing recessions can't tell the difference between a speculative mania driven by corporate buybacks and a bull market driven by improving productivity that lifts both profits and wages. The phony charade of speculative bubbles inflated by the Federal Reserve's spew of free money for financiers fatally distort the entire incentive structure of the financial system, which then balloons up and fatally distorts the entire economy.

Unbeknownst to those trembling in fear of a crushing recession, the crushing recession they fear is the only curative for a fatally distorted system which has lost touch with reality. Yes, there is a difference between speculative bubbles and bull markets. And yes, there is a difference between an economy riddled with the cancers of waste, friction and fraud and one strengthened by incentives and corrective mechanisms that bury unproductive zombie financial entities and reward those who actually increase productivity rather than destroy it. Recession will mean short-term pain but long-term gain."

"Doctor Faustus, Final Monologue And Ending" (1967)

"A most fantastic and moving performance by the late, great Richard Burton in this dazzling adaptation of Christopher Marlowe's astonishing work. The way the vision of Helen of Troy cackles and mocks Faust is so cruel and honest as we see the poor, lost soul accept the fate of eternal damnation, wrought entirely by his own hand." - ScarletDusk99
