CIA whistleblower claims the agency “took back 40 boxes of JFK and MK-Ultra files” that Tulsi Gabbard was reviewing for declassification. The whistleblower also alleges the CIA “illegally monitored the computer and phone usage” of Gabbard’s investigators during the probe into the COVID-19 origins cover-up. “These were Americans being spied on illegally while carrying out duties directed by the President and under the authority of the Director of National Intelligence.”

I left a section out of my Promethean Update today which will, actually, be determinative of who wins the race for technological progress at the frontiers of knowledge. It was too long for my script and really needs to stand on its own. It would be an interesting cultural dialogue for China and the U.S. to talk about this problem together. Here’s the part I left out. Who will be the young men and women who power and control the new economies both China and the U.S. are building? In China, youth unemployment for those aged 16 to 24 is officially 16.9 percent as of March 2026, according to the National Bureau of Statistics. Roughly 70 percent of unemployed 20-to-24-year-olds hold university degrees. They speak of "lying flat" and "let it rot." Some pay to fake-work at offices to maintain the appearance of having a job. [REFERENCE: China National Bureau of Statistics youth unemployment data, March 2026; Fortune, "China's youth unemployment is so high that Gen Zers are paying to pretend to work" — fortune.com/2025/04/24/chi…] In the United States, Gen Z unemployment runs 8.3 percent — double the national average. Forty-two percent of recent American college graduates are underemployed, the highest level since 2020. Forty-six percent of Gen Z Americans have received a formal mental health diagnosis. Somewhere, in both societies, the curiosity, zest for life and adventure you find in any kid, has been shattered. In the U.S. we know that drugs, a rotten education, mind numbing gamer culture and porn, coupled with broken families create purposelessness and despair. Education is geared toward the last economy, not the future one. Internet myths abound, like the certainty the U.S. never went to the Moon–one of the huge inspirations of my youth. Instead, day in day out you’re flooded with propaganda about how the world is ending. The elites tell us you will own nothing and be happy. President Trump is tackling this directly. In April 2025, he signed Executive Order 14278 directing the Departments of Labor, Education, and Commerce to develop a plan to reach one million active apprentices in skilled trades and emerging industries — manufacturing, AI, maritime, and the nuclear industrial base. [REFERENCE: White House Executive Order 14278, "Preparing Americans for High-Paying Skilled Trade Jobs of the Future," April 23, 2025 — whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…] In March 2026, he followed up with an executive order stripping away the green-energy mandates, NEPA delays, and zoning interference that has added over $90,000 to the cost of an average new home. According to HUD Secretary Scott Turner, in Trump's first year back in office mortgage affordability has hit a four-year high, national median rents are at a four-year low, and HUD has helped make housing more affordable for more than one million Americans, including over half a million first-time homebuyers. [REFERENCE: White House Executive Order "Removing Regulatory Barriers to Affordable Home Construction," March 13, 2026 — whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…] Just before he left to China, the president demanded that the House pass a Senate bill which bars corporate ownership of single family homes. Optimism should be the order of the day. Or, as Ericka Kirk said recently, get married, have more kids than you can afford. There is lots of work to do in restoring classical education, training people up in the skilled trades for the new economy we’re making. Wresting control of our schools from the manufacturers of cultural despair and pessimism known as the Teachers’ Unions is really significant but also training teachers to meet the challenge of nurturing creativity rather than suffocating it.

Somehow the American System keeps defying "economists" because they're operating off the British System which we already had one revolution to defeat.
Rapid Response 47@RapidResponse47

.@USTradeRep Amb. Greer: If you look at January, February and March of this year, U.S. Exports were over $300B each month. Those are the highest figures in 250 years of American history. This doesn’t happen organically. This comes from all the deals @POTUS has been striking.

Putin's press conference yesterday was interesting because it highlighted his deep feeling of anger and betrayal by Europe. (1) He reminded the journalists (all Russians) that the crisis began with the EU insisting Ukraine ratify an Association Agreement incompatible with Ukraine's free trade agreement with Russia. When Ukraine demurred the Maidan coup was the result; (2) He said Europe's objective in 2022 was to engineer Russia's collapse so that the Europeans would be able to help themselves to its parts. In a truly extraordinary passage he spoke of Finland joining NATO in order to participate in the plunder; (3) He gave a very bitter account of the events of April 2022 and of the failure of the Istanbul Agreement. Briefly: He revealed for the first time that it was Macron who called him and tricked him into pulling Russian troops back from Kiev, telling him that "the Ukrainians could not be expected (to sign the Istanbul Agreement) with a gun pointing at their head". He was careful to say that the Russians recorded the conversation and have Macron saying all this on tape. He then spoke about how, once the Russian troops had been withdrawn, 'another colourful character' - Boris Johnson - told the Ukrainians to ditch the Istanbul Agreement in return for unlimited Western support. I came away with the clear impression that Putin believes Macron and Johnson were working together and had it all worked out in advance; (4) he accused the Europeans of using Ukraine as a proxy in their conflict with Russia; (5) he signalled that the only major West European political figure in whom he retains any trust is Gerhard Schroder, who is of course out of power; (6) Contrary to many reports, Putin did NOT say that he believes the Ukraine conflict is coming to an end. This belief stems from misreporting of his words by a TASS journalist. If Putin's words are read carefully it is clear his meaning was quite different. It is that with the failure to bring about the collapse of Russia that which on The Duran we call 'Project Ukraine', ie. the West's (in Putin's view, Europe's) bid to use Ukraine as a tool to destabilise Russia, is coming to an end. Perhaps wrongly, Putin appears to blame the Europeans more for 'Project Ukraine' than he does the Americans. (7) Putin did float the possibility that with the failure of Project Ukraine, and with the crisis this has caused in Europe, a new generation of European leaders might find a way back towards a reconciliation with Russia. However he did not seem to me to say this with much conviction; (8) As for the Americans, Putin appears to think that their various diplomatic initiatives of the last year to end the war have run into a wall and are effectively over. Many people will say that Putin has a paranoid view of Europe and its intentions. He however would point to Europe's actions (eg. he spoke about Europe's work fabricating Ukraine's drones) and its rhetoric, which is frankly terrible. Certainly in Russia his opinions are widely shared. This is where in Europe relentless hostility, extreme rhetoric, and a total rejection of dialogue with the Russians, has led us. If the Russians and their leader now entertain these views of us, we should not be surprised. youtube.com/watch?v=4YnCu_… @MearsheimerJ @Glenn_Diesen @LarrySonar21 @DanielLDavis1 @Consortiumnews @unjoe @TheGrayzoneNews @GarlandNixon

This war stripped of the ideological masks and presented as physical economics.
James E. Thorne@DrJStrategy

For the record. Iran’s Historic Mistake Carl von Clausewitz wrote that war is “the continuation of politics by other means.” President Trump grasped this from the start: Operation Epic Fury exists to stop Iran’s nuclear march and restore deterrence, not to pursue the familiar neocon fantasy of occupation and nation-building. Epic Fury is peace through strength in action: credible force applied decisively when adversaries mistake restraint for weakness. By weaponizing the Strait of Hormuz, Iran committed a strategic blunder of historic proportions. Tehran meant to punish America. Instead, it exposed every power built on imported energy, vulnerable sea lanes, and the delusion that globalization repealed geography. China is exposed. Europe is exposed. Britain is exposed. Iran has created a world where hard resource power decides outcomes. Start with China. Beijing’s industrial machine depends on imported oil and gas moving through vulnerable maritime chokepoints, the old Malacca dilemma in modern form. A great power reliant on long, exposed sea lines cannot be secure, regardless of economic scale. The Hormuz shock forced China to scramble for alternatives, proving that size is not resilience. Europe and Britain face the same problem. After escaping Russian dependency, they traded one vulnerability for another, leaning on imported LNG and maritime flows exposed to coercion. When chokepoints tighten, they absorb shocks rather than project strength. European criticism says less about American failure than about discomfort with a world where hard power still matters. Iran’s mistake is that once Hormuz becomes structurally unreliable, the world builds around it. That means bypass corridors, revived pipeline politics, and urgent planning for routes linking Aqaba to Mediterranean outlets near Gaza and the long-stalled Basra-to-Aqaba pipeline. The old energy order is cracking. The UAE’s OPEC exit signals cartel discipline giving way to national advantage under pressure. Trump deserves credit, not European scolding. Operation Epic Fury struck thousands of targets, degraded Iran’s offensive capabilities, and shattered assumptions that the West would absorb escalation without response. The administration acted while others lectured. It restored deterrence in the only language Tehran understands. The larger lesson matters more. Secure natural-resource hard power is what the Western Hemisphere possesses in abundance. The United States, Canada, and the Americas command hydrocarbons, LNG, farmland, freshwater, critical minerals, and strategic depth on a scale import-dependent Europe and Asia cannot match. This crisis clarified, not weakened, the Americas structural position. The financial dimension reinforces the point. Demand for Federal Reserve swap lines during crisis proves King Dollar remains supreme. When stress hits, governments run toward dollar liquidity, not away from it. Hard resource power and monetary power reinforce one another, and the United States sits at the center of both. That is Epic Fury’s real significance. Clausewitz wrote that “the political view is the object, war is the means.” Trump understood that. Iran tried to weaponize geography, Trump turned the confrontation into a demonstration of who is exposed and who is not. The Trump administration deserves far more praise than it has received, and history will likely judge that Iran’s greatest miscalculation was not merely closing Hormuz, but revealing which powers still command the real sources of strength.

Like I said, Tucker is crazy with fear. As Paine said,now is the time that tries men souls. Sunshine patriots don't have the moorings for it in their souls. They resort to mysticism and call it spirtual--like Trump casting a spell on him or being the Antichrist as Tucker did say even in this ugly interview in the enemy's tent. \Yeah, people get hurt. Look at what's happened to the President himself and his famiy and supporters. But we keep marching to join that eternal regiment up there in heaven dating all the way back to 1776. That's the nature of a war. Some of us have found something about saving this Republic which touches the soul in a way that simple patriotism does not. That's why Trump doesn't flinch. He took the Cup of Gethsemene.

Tucker is my friend for 30 years. We disagree often. I don't care. After my cancer treatments, deaf and sick and gutted, I was sure I was dying in 2021. We had moved to Florida and Tucker made time to join me for dinner. That was the first time I heard him say it, in that noisy island bar. “People around Trump keep getting hurt, Caputo. Really hurt.” He wasn’t talking about the President; he was talking about me. Yeah, I got the cancer. This NYT interview is really intense stuff for me to watch now. Man.

One of the few times I totally disagree with you. In his heart of hearts this guy is still a neocon punk--review his record in Congress, the donors who put him up to run against the President. \ Inappropriate for either DOJ or the Court.
Tom Luongo@TFL1728

This is asinine. DeSantis is a great governor, that makes him administration material. Putting him on the SCOTUS is literally orthogonal to his strengths as an administrator So, how about no. And how about Ron as AG after the midterms?
