What REALLY Happened at Ruby Ridge, Waco and The Oklahoma City Bombing
For Your Friends, Family, and Colleagues That Need to Know…
Dear Subscribers,
This is last week’s issue… going out on Friday… Expect today’s issue via Substack e-mail on Monday…
I had written a brief overview of the Oklahoma City Bombing in my subscriber letter two weeks ago. I soon realized that the kids today (and the young adults who weren’t really paying attention in 1995!) can’t really understand the Oklahoma City Bombing without understanding Ruby Ridge and the Waco Massacre. I expanded that brief overview from Five Meme Friday two weeks ago into a detailed overview of all three incidents to help folks explain what happened to friends, family and colleagues. I am making the two documentaries that I reference in the article, Waco- A New Revelation and A Noble Lie, the videos of the week in remembrance of the hundreds of people that were murdered by the organized crime “government” in just these three incidents.
You simply can’t understand the reality of the “government,” and monopoly media without knowing that the FBI and Delta Force premeditatively murdered 80 men, women and children, and the Department of Justice, the Congress and the monopoly media helped them cover it up.
OR… the fact that the organized crime “government” blew up a day care center and federal building to trick the population into thinking the militia movement are white supremacist baby killers!
We Are Turning on the Paywall for Major Articles… and eventually everything
That article and this issue of Five Meme Friday (In Substack) are the first publications where I am turning on the paywall. It took me around two full days to write that article, including the time spent re-watching the two documentaries and doing research to get the facts straight for the article. It costs thousands of dollars a month to run this operation and we simply can’t do it without your help!

Oklahoma City Bombing 30th Anniversary – Why Did the Gov’t Blow Up a Day Care Center?
Because They Had Been Caught Burning Down a Church and Machine-Gunning 80+ Men, Women and Children A Couple of Years Earlier…
A photograph of the Alfred M. Murrah Building after the Oklahoma City Bombing. The official story is that a truck with thirteen 55-gallon drums of homemade ammonia fertilizer and fuel oil explosive, parked roughly where the red box is, did all the damage to the building. The reality is that a homemade fertilizer bomb of that size doesn’t pack enough punch to do the damage shown, AND the debris field shows explosives in the building have ejected building material into the parking lot, vs. if it were just the truck bomb outside, the debris would have been blown INTO the building. The governor of OK and multiple news agencies reported other bombs found in the building on Day 1 and 20+ witnesses reported hearing more explosions.
Last month was the 30th anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing of 1995, where, according to the “government” and monopoly media, a federal building in Oklahoma City was bombed by a white supremacist named Tim McVeigh, acting alone, who parked the bomb next to the building’s day care center. If you have ever heard me tell the story in interviews, the Oklahoma City bombing was the event that “woke me up” to the criminality of the organized crime “government.”
I was a researcher working at one of the “Big 4” think tanks in Washington, DC, at the time, and I had a $ 3,000-per-month LexisNexis terminal, which allowed me to access any article published in any newspaper, magazine, or other periodical. I quickly realized the story the monopoly MainStreamMedia was telling was very different from what was coming from the local Oklahoma media and alternative media. I initiated my own investigation into the bombing, utilizing all the resources at my disposal at one of the world’s top think tanks. I quickly realized that the ATF and the FBI were the primary suspects in blowing up a day care center in the federal building.
You Can’t Understand the Oklahoma City Bombing without Understanding the Waco Massacre and Ruby Ridge
Why Would the “Government” Blow Up a Day Care Center in a Federal Building?
A: To squash a Constitutional militia movement that developed after the Waco Massacre and the siege at Ruby Ridge a few years before. A large section of the population had figured out that the “government” was criminally lawless, murderous, out-of-control, and their crimes were being covered up by a monopolized media system that was whitewashing government criminality, including the premeditated murder of dozens of women and children on almost every single channel.

DOGE-inspired Brown student faces disciplinary action for asking staff what they do all day as tuition soars
By Rachel del Guidice, Fox News
A sophomore at Brown University is facing disciplinary action after he sent a DOGE-like email to non-faculty employees asking them what they do all day to try to figure out why the Ivy League’s tuition has gotten so expensive.
“Brown is charging me for misrepresentation — for saying I am affiliated with the Brown Spectator, which I am, because the Brown Spectator is an independent non-profit and not a registered student group,” Alex Shieh told Fox News Digital in an emailed statement.
“Brown is also charging me for violating their IT policies for publishing Brown employee data, without specifying which provisions of the IT policy were violated,” Shieh added.
He maintains, however, that he did not violate “any provisions of the IT policy.”
During free weekends in March, Shieh went to the common room in his dorm’s basement — a space that floods when it rains and requires plastic tarps, despite the school’s $90,000 yearly tuition — and used AI to try to determine what Brown employees did and why the school was so expensive.
Sam Altman Launches Dystopian Iris Scanning Orb In The U.S.
By Patrick Wood
Sam Altman’s creepy iris-scanning orbs have come to the United States. His goal is to scan every eyeball on Earth. Already, there are 160 countries around the world that are signing up over 170,000 people per week. Altman’s company changed its name to WORLD.ORG to offer a comprehensive ecosystem of WorldID, WorldApp, WorldChain, and WorldCoin (and WorldSocial?).
The sister company that actually manufactures the Orb is Tools for Humanity, where Atman is the Chairman.
Based on human identity (e.g., no bots allowed), you can now understand why Altman recently announced that he is creating a new OpenAI social network to compete with Musk’s X. Nobody in media has connected the dots here, but it is plain as day to me. X is saturated with bots, OpenAI social network will be verified humans.
Dojo 2 and 3 Chips and AI5 Chips Are Critical for Tesla and Battle for Future of AI
by Brian Wang
Tesla DOJO 2, DOJO 3 and AI5 chips are critical for Tesla to become an AI hardware company. XAI and Tesla will buy create and build millions of these chips into their data centers and the Tesla products.
XAI and Tesla are buying 1 million Nvidia B200/B300 chips over the 14 months from February, 2025 to April 2026. This is about 20% of Nvidia’s production. If Tesla can make the Dojo 2 chip at scale and volume production in the second half of 2025 this is huge. Tesla has made and installed at least 11,000 Dojo 1 chips but they only have 362 Teraflops of compute. The Dojo 2 chips have ten times the compute.
If Tesla has 25 Dojo 2 chips per wafer and orders 20,000 wafers from TSMC then this would be 500,000 Dojo 2 chips. This would surpass AMD in AI GPU chip production at 400,000 to 500,000 and put Tesla in second place behind Nvidia. Nvidia will make about 5 million B200-B300 chips in 2025.
SKY MONSTER World’s biggest plane ‘Skytanic’ will take to the skies by 2030 that can carry 12x more than a Boeing 747
by Patrick Harrington
THE world’s biggest plane dubbed “Skytanic” will finally take to the skies by 2030 and begin transporting its enormous cargo.
Officially called WindRunner, the colossal aircraft will be able to carry 12-times more than a Boeing 747 – and has one very specific purpose.
WindRunner will clock in at an incredible 356ft – longer than the pitch at Wembley – and will be 79ft tall.
The company behind it, Radia, has already been working on the plans for almost a decade.
While it will be a versatile vehicle, the size and shape of WindRunner have been carefully designed to accommodate one specific item: wind turbines.
Wind turbine blades are enormous and incredibly tricky to transport on roads, and normal planes are too small to handle them.
Some turbine projects have even needed special roads to be laid to get the blades there.
US betting big on robo-fighters to win a Taiwan war
by Gabriel Honrada
The US is a step closer to being able to deploy stealthy, semi-autonomous drone swarms to saturate the Taiwan Strait in a high-tech push to shift the military balance vis-à-vis China.
This month, multiple media sources reported that the US Air Force had initiated ground tests for its Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) program, marking a significant milestone before the anticipated maiden flights of Anduril’s YFQ-44A and General Atomics’ YFQ-42A drones this summer.
The tests, focusing on propulsion, avionics, autonomy integration and ground control interfaces, aim to validate performance and prepare both unmanned fighters, designated under the “fighter drone” FQ series, for operational use.
Anduril’s YFQ-44A, known as Fury, features advanced design elements, including stealth-optimized intake shapes and potential infrared sensors for enhanced situational awareness. General Atomics leverages its experience with unmanned platforms such as the XQ-67A to advance the YFQ-42A, aimed at expanding the operational role of unmanned systems.
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI): Can It Really Think Like A Human?
by Tyler Durden
When the lines blur between man and machine, you’re looking at artificial general intelligence (AGI). Unlike its counterpart, artificial narrow intelligence (ANI), which is the use of AI for solving individual problem statements, AGI represents artificial intelligence that can understand, learn and apply knowledge in a way that is indistinguishable from human cognition.
AGI is still theoretical, but the prospect of artificial intelligence being able to holistically replace human input and judgment has naturally attracted plenty of interest, with researchers, technologists and academics alike seeking to bring the concept of AGI to reality.
Yet another strand of prevailing research seeks to explore the feasibility and implications of AGI vs. ANI in a world increasingly shaped by AI capabilities.
Every honest doctor in the world should be calling for the Pfizer shots to be immediately halted
by Steve Kirsch
I’ve written about the Levi/Ladapo paper earlier, New Florida brand differential study shows the Pfizer vaccine likely KILLED over 470,000 Americans.
What’s different today is that nobody has been able to find any holes in the study results, including Pfizer.
Pfizer’s vaccine raises your risk of death by 36%. That’s huge. That’s more than heart disease. It’s like double your risk of cancer.
Nobody should be taking the Pfizer shots. They should be banned for all ages everywhere in the world based on this study.
What will happen of course is nobody in the medical community will say a word and health regulators worldwide will continue on like nothing has happened saying “it hasn’t been peer-reviewed.”
That’s bullshit. It’s not like they don’t have scientists they can give it to for review.
This paper will never be peer reviewed because it will destroy the narrative. Nobody’s going to publish it. The journals will sit on the paper and refuse to send it out for peer-review. That’s the way the game is played.
Humanoid Robot Attacks Humans After Terrifying Error
by Western Journal
Video clip that went viral on social media shows a Chinese humanoid robot, Unitree H1, that was attached to a crane device to hold it upright, begin to malfunction and thrash against the technician.
The Unitree H1 robot sells for $90,000. In February, one of the robots appeared to charge a crowd.
A recent social media clip showed a robot violently malfunctioning and nearly striking its lab technicians.
Footage of the incident began circulating as early as Thursday.
In the clip, China’s humanoid robot — the Unitree H1 — was being held upright with a crane as two technicians worked nearby.
Moments later, something went terribly wrong.
The malfunctioning robot, as though it were having a tantrum, began furiously flailing its arms with the brute strength of a machine.

Scripps: ‘Mass Deportations’ Are Not Happening Under Trump
A pledge to deport millions of undocumented immigrants helped propel President Donald Trump back to the White House.
by Chris Menahan
President Trump is not making good on his pledge to conduct mass deportations, according to a new analysis from Scripps News that dug into deportation numbers Immigration and Customs Enforcement has tried to hide.
From Scripps News, “Numbers show no mass deportation of migrants, despite Trump immigration crackdown”:
A pledge to deport millions of undocumented immigrants helped propel President Donald Trump back to the White House.
“It’s going to be called a Trump mass deportation,” Trump said during a campaign rally on Aug. 12, 2024. “We will begin the largest deportation operation in American history.”
[…] But federal data shows there has not been a significant jump in immigrants deported since Trump took office. Mass deportations have not occurred. The numbers show removals are lagging behind levels during the Biden administration.
“Frankly I was shocked,” said Sue Long, co-founder of the nonpartisan Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse that tracks immigration statistics at Syracuse University.
Early on the Trump administration touted the number of daily immigration arrests but has never shared detailed deportation figures.
Long was able to calculate recent deportation figures using a cumulative number deep inside a spreadsheet ICE is required by law to keep updated for Congress.
“They’re lower,” Long said. “Their daily average is simply 10 percent lower.”
Revisiting 9/11: Proof the Israeli Government Knew
The undeniable evidence that Israeli Mossad agents had detailed foreknowledge of the attacks on the World Trade Center.
by The Worm
The following uses exclusively establishment media and government sources to make the case that the Israeli government had precise foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks. The majority is sourced from a declassified FBI report. I’ve included screenshots and links to the report so people may verify for themselves. Criticisms of my argument are welcome in the comments. This article is about actions by the Israeli government — not “the Jews” — don’t bring antisemitism in the comments. It only alienates people from engaging in the discussion.
On the morning of September 11, 2001, five Israeli nationals were spotted “celebrating” and “high-fiving” atop a parking garage in New Jersey while they photographed the burning World Trade Center (WTC). The men worked as movers for Urban Moving Systems and drove a moving van. A witnessing neighbor notified the police of the van’s plate number, and the Israelis were apprehended later in the day.
AIPAC’s Anti-BDS Bill Is Derailed, at Least for Now
By Donald Shaw
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee suffered a rare setback this weekend as Representatives Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) and Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.), two of its heavily-funded allies in Congress, saw their IGO Anti-Boycott Act pulled from the House calendar. The bill’s sudden withdrawal, amid powerful opposition from free speech and pro-Palestinian advocates, marks a major blow to AIPAC’s campaign to expand anti-BDS laws.
The bill, an amendment to the Anti-Boycott Act of 2018, targets Americans participating in boycotts of Israel or its settlements that are promoted by international governmental organizations (IGOs) like the United Nations or European Union, such as refusing to do business with Israeli companies. It would do so by extending existing federal boycott restrictions, which bar compliance with foreign government-led boycotts, to cover IGO-initiated boycotts, proposing fines of up to $1 million or prison terms of up to 20 years for boycott activities in commercial contexts involving interstate or foreign commerce.
NEW STUDY — Mass mRNA Injection Campaigns Likely Fueling the Global Fertility Collapse
by Nicolas Hulscher, MPH
The study titled, Rates of Successful Conceptions According to COVID-19 Vaccination Status: Data from the Czech Republic, was just uploaded to the Preprints.org preprint server:
To investigate whether COVID-19 vaccination before conception affects fertility, measured by successful conceptions (SCs) — pregnancies resulting in live births.
Population: ~1.3 million women aged 18–39 in the Czech Republic.
Study Period: January 2021 – December 2023.
Vaccination Coverage: ~70% of women vaccinated by end of 2021 (mostly Pfizer/Comirnaty and Moderna).
SC Calculation: Births per 1,000 women, comparing those vaccinated before conception vs. unvaccinated.
Women vaccinated before conception had consistently lower SC rates than unvaccinated women.
SCs for vaccinated women were disproportionately low relative to their share of the total population:
The dumbest objections against statelessness #9
by Sotiris Rex
A common and baffling objection to statelessness is the appeal to “guarantees.” Statist apologists demand to have guarantees that, if we were to abolish government, no evil warlord or dictator would suddenly enslave everyone… as if the existence of the state ever guaranteed anything.
I’ve said it before. Every single objection against statelessness applies to the state even more so.
What guarantees do you have that, under a socialist communist regime, a group of oligarchs would not just seize the apparatus of total government to do as they please unopposed?
What guarantees do you have that, under a republic, people in positions of institutional power will not sell their loyalties to the highest bidder, and baptise this bribing as “lobbying” to make it sound more palatable to the naive masses?

Fridge gizmo uses shots of UV light to keep food fresh
By Ben Coxworth
Ultraviolet light is well-known for its ability to kill germs, including ones that cause food to spoil. And while there doesn’t tend to be any food-preserving UV light in our refrigerators, a new consumer device is out to change that.
Called the EcoLoc, the gadget actually consists of two parts: a small battery-powered UV lamp module, and a clear glass food container lid with a cradle in which the module is placed. The lid is compatible with Ikea’s existing line of 365+ food storage containers.
At the heart of the module is a special chip designed by scientists from Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University and Swedish company PureFize Technologies. That chip produces short wave UV light – aka UVC, which is the most effective type for killing germs – and it does so without the use of toxic mercury, which is typically utilized in conventional UVC lamps.
Palantir Partners with NATO on Controversial AI Project Maven
by Derrick Broze, Independent media alliance, The Last American Vagabond
NATO announced a Palantir partnership to acquire the controversial Maven Smart System – an effort to complete a NATO “digital transformation”.
In late March, the North American Treaty Organization (NATO) Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) and Palantir Technologies Inc. announced a new agreement for the Palantir Maven Smart System NATO (MSS NATO) to be deployed by NATO’s Allied Command Operations (ACO).
Palantir was co-founded by Alex Karp and Peter Thiel, the Technocrat-Zionists who also happen to be Steering Committee members of the Bilderberg Group.
The new deal will see NCIA partner with Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) and Palantir to deliver Maven Smart System NATO to the Warfighter. A move which NCIA general manger Ludwig Decamps says will provide “customized state-of-the-art AI capabilities to the Alliance” and allow NATO to “operate effectively and decisively.”
Congressman Casten: Trump’s Assault on the Rule of Law Is Causing Capital Flight Out of U.S. by Foreign Investors
By Pam Martens and Russ Martens
Donald Trump’s assault on the rule of law is now the ubiquitous and defining feature of his administration. That assault also represents the gravest threat to the national security of the United States, its economic standing, and the stability of the U.S. financial system.
Take, for example, what has happened recently.
Last Wednesday, Congressman Sean Casten, Democrat of Illinois, stated the following in an open meeting of the House Financial Services Committee:
“For the first time in my memory, foreign investors are not only fleeing U.S. equities but are fleeing U.S. Treasuries. I met with banks last week – banks under our jurisdiction – who said that the international community is putting a risk premium on investments in the United States because of regulatory risk and because they question whether the rule of law that they depend on to execute contracts in the United States will be executed as it will be in European markets where that capital is running to.
Is AI Privacy Realistic?
By Jillian Hishaw, ESQ
Picture yourself awakening to a phone call during the wee hours of the morning. You hear the urgent plea in your mother’s voice, asking for money because something terrible has gone wrong.
But something feels off. You hesitate. And then it intuitively hits you—it’s not her. It’s a replica.
You later discover that her voice was scraped from old voicemails or social media clips. The call was built, not spoken. The urgency was programmed.
In a world where AI can mimic, impersonate, and fabricate with startling precision, how do we even begin to define privacy?
Particularly if you are a college student or young professional just now entering adulthood — building credit, applying for aid, and forging your own identity — the question of what it means to “protect yourself” has never been more complex.
Florida Becomes Second State to Ban Fluoride in Public Drinking Water
This article was originally published by The Defender — Children’s Health Defense’s News & Views Website.
by Brenda Baletti, Ph.D. The Defender
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis today said he will sign a bill banning the addition of fluoride to public drinking water, making Florida the second state to end the practice. The ban will take effect July 1.
Senate Bill 700, known as the “Florida Farm Bill,” passed the state House last week 88-27, sending the bill to the governor’s desk. The bill prevents “the use of certain additives in a water system.”
In a press conference, DeSantis said Florida is ending fluoridation because, “When you do this in the water supply, you’re taking away a choice of someone who may not want to have overexposure to fluoride.”
He said research shows the chemical has serious negative health consequences for children and pregnant women.
7 Anti-Authoritarian Comics
Several decades into the future, we find that the world has become a dystopian nightmare. Hatred and fear of mutants has infested the government, which has created the sentinel robots whose purpose is to hunt and eliminate all mutants. Many of the X-Men have already been killed, along with the Fantastic Four. Can the surviving mutants travel back in time to stop the event that led to this authoritarian regime?
Art Spiegelman wrote and illustrated this story based on his parent’s life experiences. This biographical story of surviving the violent, fascist government in Germany is depicted through mice representing Jews and cats representing the Nazis. In the story, Art’s father recounts the details of living through Auschwitz, like he had done in real life.
After nuclear war destroyed much of the world, the totalitarian political party Norsefire has taken over the UK. An escaped prisoner known as V enacts a plan of vengeance against his former captors, while also exposing the corruption of the police state. With the help of his new friend Evey, they influence an anarchist revolt against the government.
It Is Really Happening: The Numbers Show That U.S. Exports And U.S. Imports Are Both Collapsing Dramatically
by Michael , theeconomiccollapseblog.com
Over the last several decades, the global economy has become more interconnected than ever, but now everything is changing. The flow of goods between the number one economic power on the planet and the number two economic power on the planet is absolutely imploding, and that is going to have enormous implications on both sides of the Pacific. I have written quite a bit about the dramatic decline of U.S. imports, but the numbers show that U.S. exports are falling precipitously as well. According to CNBC, there has been a 51 percent decline in exports at the Port of Portland and a 28 percent decline in exports at the Port of Tacoma…
What began as a rapid drop in U.S. imports as shippers cut orders from manufacturing partners around the world has now extended into a nationwide export slump, with the U.S. agricultural sector and top farm products including soybeans, corn and beef taking the hardest hit.
Cab-less truck glider leaps autonomously between road and rail
By Abhimanyu Ghoshal
Dual-mode vehicles that can travel on roads and rails have been around for a while now, with the idea first having been explored over a century ago. In 2025, we’re going autonomous: a Utah-based startup is set to launch a pilot project running its autonomous road-rail vehicle on California’s Skunk Train route this year.
Glid Technologies, which hails from Salt Lake City, has partnered with Mendocino Railway to integrate the former’s Glider M hybrid-powered manned road-to-rail vehicle, along with an autonomous version, onto the 40-mile heritage and freight route along the Willits-to-Fort Bragg corridor in California.
Road-to-rail vehicles, sometimes called hi-rail vehicles, typically find use in transporting goods, infrastructure construction and utility maintenance work, and emergency response. From Glid’s website, it appears the company is focused purely on moving cargo at this point: mined materials, agricultural produce, waste, and military equipment.
Is the Non-Aggression Principle Biblical?
By Dan Coats
The Non-Aggression Principle is an axiom which states that all aggression is illegitimate.
It has been stated in many ways over the years, especially with the rise of 19th century classical liberalism, market capitalism, individual human rights, and limited government. John Locke formulated it as, “Being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions.” Murray Rothbard in his essay War, Peace, and the State put it this way:
“No one may threaten or commit violence (‘aggress’) against another man’s person or property. Violence may be employed only against the man who commits such violence; that is, only defensively against the aggressive violence of another. In short, no violence may be employed against a nonaggressor. Here is the fundamental rule from which can be deduced the entire corpus of libertarian theory.”
India Confirms Strikes On 9 Pakistan “Terrorist Camps”; Pakistan Claims 5 Jets Shot-Down
by Tyler Durden
Wednesday, May 07, 2025 – 06:21 AM
India carried out airstrikes on 9 “terrorist camp” locations in Pakistan
Pakistan shot down at least 1 (up to 5) Indian Air Force fighter jets
Heavy Artillery fire along the Line of Control
Pakistan’s army spox, Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, has said at least eight people were killed and 35 injured.
And more developments from Peter Tchir of Academy Securities overnight:
General Waddell from our GIG believes this suggests that unless Pakistan escalates through military actions, this operation is likely going to be India’s full response to the recent terrorist attacks.
India said it had launched the operation against Pakistan after gathering evidence “pointing towards the clear involvement of Pakistan-based terrorists” in last month’s attack on civilians in Kashmir.
Pakistan Closes Airspace For 48 Hours, Authorizes Response To Indian Attack Which “Ignited Inferno In Region”
by Tyler Durden
Though aerial fighting between the nuclear-armed rivals does not appear to be sustained and ongoing at this point, Pakistan has closed its airspace for nearly all flights on Wednesday, in the aftermath of the Indian cross-border strikes which killed at least 26 people – including a 3-year-old girl – and wounded at least 46 other people, Pakistani authorities say based on the latest revised death toll. International carriers have also canceled flights to the region, and access to social media, including X, was temporarily blocked in Pakistan amid the assault. Heavy shelling is being reported along the Line of Control (LOC) separating the historic enemy nations.
The true casualty toll could be higher, as a Pakistani militant chief targeted in the attacks on ‘terror camps’ said 10 of his relatives, including five children, were killed. The Islamist group Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) was one of the groups targeted, and its leader Masood Azhar said his older sister, brother-in-law, his nephew and niece are among the dead.
Crackdown on Student Loan Defaulters to Begin With Benefit Seizure, Then Wage Garnishment
By Tom Ozimek
The U.S. government will begin seizing federal benefits from 195,000 student loan defaulters in June, with wage garnishment notices set to reach 5.3 million borrowers later this summer, the Education Department announced on May 5, marking the formal restart of involuntary collections after a years-long pause.
The renewed enforcement effort begins with the Treasury Offset Program, which allows the federal government to intercept tax refunds, Social Security checks, and other federal payments to recover unpaid student debt. Borrowers affected by the program began receiving notices on May 5, the department said.
“Starting today, approximately 195,000 defaulted student loan borrowers will begin receiving an official 30-day notice from the U.S. Department of Treasury notifying them that their federal benefits will be subjected to the Treasury Offset Program,” the Education Department said in the May 5 announcement.
Trump Fires National Security Advisor Mike Waltz After ‘Plotting with Israel’

Reports indicate that Mike Waltz, who was Trump’s national security advisor, was fired due to two Signal message scandals, and for upsetting Trump after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in early February. During the meeting, Waltz appeared to share the Israeli leader’s conviction that the time was ripe to strike Iran. The view by some in the administration was that Waltz was trying to tip the scales in favor of military action and was operating hand in glove with the Israelis. A Trump adviser said, “You can’t do that. You work for the president of your country, not a president of another country.” Journalist James Li says this is treason.

Amazon unveils hi-tech robots that could replace huge numbers of warehouse workers
by Graham Hiscott Head of Business
Online giant Amazon has unveiled new hi-tech robots with the potential to replace huge numbers of warehouse workers.
The machines, called Vulcan, have cutting-edge technology that learn to “feel” and have a human-like sense of touch. By doing so, they can carry out detailed picking and packing in warehouses that until now could only be done by people. It paves the way for the robots to take over jobs currently done by workers in Amazon’s vast warehouses – known as fulfilment centres – in the UK and around the world. Amazon, founded by billionaire Jeff Bezos, employs around 75,000 people in the UK alone, most of them in warehouses. Globally, it has about 1.5 million employees.

From Farm to Fork: How Contamination in Moss Landing Threatens Every Dining Table in America
by Reinette Senum
Nestled at the heart of California’s Monterey Bay, Moss Landing is where the land and sea seem to conspire in beauty. Here, the Elkhorn Slough winds through a patchwork of tidal wetlands, home to playful otters, migratory birds, and a kaleidoscope of native wildflowers.
Just minutes from the quaint fishing village, ranches and small farms dot the landscape. Fields of strawberries, lettuce, and artichokes stretch toward the horizon, punctuated by weathered barns and the occasional herd of grazing cattle. Perched on a bluff, Capurro Ranch offers sweeping views of the ocean and the famed wetlands, where locals and visitors alike can fish, kayak, or simply watch the sunset over the estuary.
Filmmaker Uncovers that the Origin of the So-Called Measles Outbreak Was a Lie
by Mikki Willis, needtoknow.news
Many Mennonites in Texas have rejected vaccines and have been under pressure due to the measles outbreak.
A 6-year old girl who was diagnosed with measles died in Lubbock, Texas in February. Dr. Richard Bartlett and Dr. Ben Edwards reported that the 6-year old girl’s death was not caused by measles, but a different illness that was treated with the wrong antibiotics. A second girl, 8-years old, also died from a disease that was falsely diagnosed as measles. Robert Kennedy Jr. said that there has only been three deaths from measles in the last 20 years and they all had complications.
RFK Jr. Blows The Lid Off Big Food’s Worst Scam
by Tyler Durden
He says corporations hijacked an FDA loophole called “GRAS” to quietly flood our food with untested chemicals – without ever proving they were safe.
And the consequences didn’t take long to show up.
In the late 1980s and early ’90s, something strange started happening in America. Chronic illness was on the rise. Obesity rates soared. Autoimmune diseases became more common.
It felt like the health of the nation was unraveling.
According to HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., that wasn’t a coincidence. It was the result of a corporate takeover.
Chomsky, Epstein, And The Cia
By Nevermore Media
Dear Nevermorons,
Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
We now know that Noam Chomsky, the venerable Dean of the American Left, was controlled opposition all along.
I know, I know, it’s tough to believe. Didn’t Chomsky write Manufacturing Consent, which exposed the American propaganda machine?
House GOP unveils plan to raise debt limit by $4 trillion
by Aris Folley
House Republicans are moving forward with plans to raise the nation’s debt ceiling by $4 trillion as part of a larger plan to advance President Trump’s tax agenda.
The proposal, which was included in legislative text unveiled by the House Ways and Means Committee on Monday, is in line with House instructions outlined in a blueprint adopted by congressional Republicans last month that kicked off the process by which the party is using to enact Trump’s tax priorities.

What Scrooge Effect? Americans Keep Giving, Despite the Welfare State
by Paul Mueller
We just made it through another tax season. Congress has begun debating whether and how to extend the Trump tax cuts from the 2018 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. While many elements of that tax debate are worth commenting on, I want to highlight the standard deduction because it sheds light on an underappreciated part of American philanthropy.
Should “Israel” be Declared a Terrorist Entity?
by Kevin Barrett
The whole notion of terrorism really ought to be retired. Invented to describe state violence at the time of the French Revolution, the term now oscillates nonsensically between two definitions: 1) Political violence against civilians, and 2) The behavior of people we really don’t like.
But before we relinquish the word terrorism, and teach AI to never, ever allow anyone to use it, even if the whole universe were at stake, let’s get some positive mileage out of it. Let’s use it to stop a genocide. How? By declaring “Israel” a terrorist entity.

Vortex Bladeless Wind Turbines – How Much Power Do They Generate?
By Etienne de la Boetie2 & Grok
The energy output of a single Vortex Bladeless wind turbine varies significantly depending on the model, size, wind speed, and specific conditions under which it operates. Vortex Bladeless, a Spanish startup, develops turbines that harness energy through vortex-induced vibration (VIV) rather than traditional blade rotation, using a cylindrical mast that oscillates in the wind to generate electricity via an alternator. Below, I detail the energy output for their main models, based on available sources as of May 12, 2025, and provide a critical analysis of the technology’s performance, limitations, and claims, incorporating insights from web sources and critical evaluation.

“Unpopular Ideas” Video Premiere
“I’ve listened to the song maybe 20 or more times tonight. I may not be the biggest consumer of protest songs but I’m gonna wager this is one of the most beautiful ever . . .” – Tom Schnaidt
by Ruthless Mike
Watch the video premiere of The Mamamals “Unpopular Ideas” from the forthcoming album Touch Grass Vol. 1.
This video is the vision of friend and filmmaker Thomas Schnaidt and a testament to friendship born of resistance. Tom wrote the script and manned the steady cam, Tim Storrs (the farmer) secured the shopping cart, Opal assisted with continuity, Esme & The Brueckners (our neighbors) jumped on board at a moment’s notice to help with the celebratory closing shot along the banks of the beautiful Ashokan Reservoir, and the good people of Walmart looked the other way as we lip-synced our way through their Sunday night aisles (on the condition that we not catch any of their customers or employees on camera!) Behold: Unpopular Ideas.
“I’ve listened to the song maybe 20 or more times tonight. I may not be the biggest consumer of protest songs but I’m gonna wager this is one of the most beautiful ever, and certainly the most beautiful I’ve ever heard. Signature Mammals style . . . Mike’s voice hits my sentiments somewhere between reverie and revolutionary. And I’m so taken aback by the haunting beauty of Ruthy’s harmonies. Thank you for sharing this.” – Thomas Schnaidt
