  1. Hi everyone! I was wondering what’s been happening with the search engine PreSearch? As of the past couple of months it’s been either not returning results at all or returning completely unrelated results. Is it being scrapped or under attack somehow?

    It’s gotten so bad as of late that I have had to default to using Brave search engine. Is this a good “anti-censorship” browser? Or would you suggest others? Or is PreSearch under tweaking and will recover?

    • Presearch – Search Engine
      I have noticed the change-for-the-worse also.

      One example is that Presearch would not give me a correct business phone number, but other search engines had it. I was embarrassed, because a friend texted me a screenshot of the phone number.

      Corbett Report
      Sometimes Presearch does not even have Corbett’s website url on the front page.
      I was surprised to see the url on this morning’s “Presearch”…
      https://presearch.com/search?q=corbett+report

      Often, all kinds of stuff leads the full page before his website address…
      podcasts-apple, audible, imbd, wiki & grok, Corbett’s YouTube Channel, spotify, deezer, Corbett’s Substack, podimo, podbean, podcast addict, even ‘an Instagram’ with zero posts, etc.
      And then there are mentions of Corbett (like Facebook or Freedom Phoenix.)

    • yep, noticed the same myself,,, Presearch has been diabolical the last month or so, tons of utterly unrelated ‘sponsored’ results, repeated “sorry, no results” & the AI box at the beginning of the search results is hilarious, like a 4 year old making up answers for the fun of it :-)))
      I’ve been reverting back to Startpage a lot, but I think that’s just Google without the ads or trackers,,, been thinking of migrating more to Brave just ‘cos I see useful podcasters/journos are using it when they’re sharing stuff up on screen,,, would be interested to know what search engine other folk are finding useful nowadays,,, DuckDuckGo went the same way after initially being quite a good alternative, then completely falling on its face after a year or so.

      • Yep, I noticed Duck was timing out when I searched for Protonmail. Have tried several other privacy-friendly/FOSS sites since, and have just gone back to Startpage.

    • Francis

      I don’t know much about it but as I understand it presearch uses OTHER search engines and just obscures the user…..thus like any parasite it’s performance is down stream from the host.

      If it’s using google search for its search it’s going to churn out the same trash as google has been doing of late. All search engines are being deprecated so we start using AI search ( which TBF is a decent use of AI even if I liked the old way better)

      People are stuck in normalcy bias in regard to the net- it’s going to get (imo) much worse very rapidly because the underlying structure (which few of us understand) is being altered and past a tipping point will be a totally different thing then it is now

    • I’m using kagi.com
      They sell the product: Search, which means you are their customer and not their product.

    • How to identify a fake web search engine:

      Search for an exact phrase (by enclosing it in quotes) that has likely been posted to the Internet hundreds-of-millions of times over the past few decades.

      • Does the engine ignore the quotes – partially or entirely – and produce results that are related (or semi-related) to what you typed rather than containing the exact phrase?

      • Does the engine only allow you to look through dozens of pages of results (or fewer) instead of many thousands of pages of results?

      If the answer is yes (to either), then it’s a fake web search engine. An illusion. A Potemkin village.

      [Spoiler]
      There is no real web search engine anymore. They’ve all been captured, or are relaying the results of captured engines/crawlers.
      And for that to be possible, it means some entity with enormous power is quietly bribing, threatening or disappearing anyone who tries to launch a legitimate web search engine.

  2. Poland is pioneering in “sustainable” development already has CBCDs and Digital IDs and it’s all voluntary (for now).
    So, you’ve probably seen how western “right wingers” seems to glaze Poland so much for being clean, safe, Christian, fighting against EU bureaucracy, preserving their culture and being one of the fastest developing economies in Europe.
    Seems like some kind of right wing utopia, but it really isn’t. There’s some truth to these claims, sure, but the Polish government (all of it) is doing everything to please their masters.
    For example there’s a law demanding you to carry your national ID with you at all times and if you don’t want to carry your physical card with you, don’t worry, there’s an app where you can access your digital ID and your other “important” documents.
    This was developed by these guys, they present themselves as this research institute that helps to develop “safer” internet but they’re like the Palantir of Poland (I couldn’t find any ties tot he actual Palantir but I haven’t dug deep, so feel free to do your own research)
    https://www.nask.pl/en/institute

    Since last October(2025), the CBDC like system has been introduced disguised as recycling initiative. You pay extra 50 cents or so(not the actual conversion) for every plastic bottle and you can get your money back by recycling these bottles at specific points, but it doesn’t always work(since it’s automated). When it does, you only get a voucher that can be only spend at specific supermarkets and has 30 day expiry date. So you get limited CBDC like “money”. So when they introduce the real thing, people won’t look twice on it.

  3. This might be a useful resource for home gardeners, commercial growers, and to remediate contaminated lawns. Free 7-module course and soil remediation kit that has been shown to destroy forever chemicals in soils. (I have no financial affiliation with this company or its products, just stumbled across it when watching a video on building inexpensive raised bed gardens. Marjory Wildcraft endorses the product, but it’s possible it’s a paid endorsement.)

  4. Corbett’s linked The Iran War (The Movie) Trailer has an all star cast of Hollywood celebrities playing different roles.
    This is a must-watch.

    • First comment under video is: Corbett Report sent me here!

  5. Patrick Wood’s emailed posting on 4Apr2026 states the following about Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’:

    [Quote]The New Economics of Technocracy: You Will Own Nothing is my follow-up book to The Final Betrayal that I wrote with Courtenay Turner in November 2025. What has happened since is stunning. Technocracy is no longer theory, It is a fact! Demonstrated in real time.
    This is the most important book since I wrote Technocracy Rising in 2015.
    As a private citizen, Donald Trump set his sights on Gaza to establish the first from-scratch prototype for Technocracy. This is unprecedented in the history of our nation!
    1. He created the Board of Peace with globalist leaders, declaring himself as Chairman-for-life with the right of succession.
    2. Then the Board of Peace selected Gaza as its first project.
    3. Then he brought in his family-owned business, World Liberty Financial, to provide the financial system for Gaza. It will tokenize all assets and provide digital wallets for citizens.
    4. Then, Project Sunrise was unveiled by his son-in-law Jared Kushner, to create a series of smart cities in Gaza, relying on total surveillance and digital IDs.
    This puts to rest the question: Has Trump been just an opportunist or a technocrat all along? Indeed, Technocrat-in-Chief? Further, you will clearly see the plan unfolding for “You will own nothing!” [end of quote]

    Purchase his latest book on Amazon, especially if located outside USA, or at https://www.technocracy.news/store/the-new-economics-of-technocracy/

    • I wonder why only Gaza is being tokenized – there are so few assets left. Why not tokenize Israel in its entirety? There might not be many assets left there as well if the war against Iran continues much longer.

  6. Happy April everyone! 🙂

    At the risk of being accused of “white privilege”, I hope everyone is planning out some type of food cultivation (using free locally accessible materials) for this year!

    The possibilities are endless my friends, and yes, you can even grow some food if you live in a skyscraper canyon! 😉

    If you have not seen any of my relentless posting on that subject yet and want some urban (no access to your own land) compatible food cultivation resources, just ask and i`ll hook you up.

    And while we are talking about “white privilege”, here is a video I made about those dastardly white supremist nazi (misogynistic, anti-science, probably Russian fringe minority) Freedom Convoy people from back in 2022

    Thanks for including my post on the potential for humans to be a keystone species James, much obliged.

    • I had a thoughtful subscriber to my Substack remind me about the equally dastardly New Zealand Freedom Truckers Convoy people and how their benevolent government also informed us that they were white supremist terrorists.

      They shared a link to a documentary about these nefarious freedom loving people that were no where near as enthusiastic about receiving experimental genetic slurry injections (manufactured by companies with habitual track records of felony fraud) as they were supposed to be (which I highly recommend checking out).

      In the documentary, we get to see how that wonderful New Zealand prime minister Jacinda (who in no way resembles a deranged horse) not only described the New Zealand freedom convoy and mRNA injection mandate protestors on their parliament grounds (which were comprised of over 30% indigenous Māori people) as “white supremists” she also valiantly and insightfully informed the public that the protestors were also simultaneously “Islamophobic” and “Antisemitic” (which I thought was a nice touch).

      I shared a few clips from the documentary (titled “River Of Freedom”) covering on those events in the note below:

      https://substack.com/@gavinmounsey/note/c-238697668

      • Well written. Will check out the documentary.

        • @AnimalsArentFood

          Thanks, appreciate you taking the time to comment.

          I am in touch with the director of the film and she said she has now added international shipping options to the website for the dvd and book as well if that is something you were interested in.

          I would value hearing what you think of the film when you do watch it.

          • Wasn’t able to find it anywhere. It’s on YouTube but looks like they’re asking for money to watch it.

  7. For those of you who are “believers”…This is what a religious war is and just might be the end of all things held dear and important in your life. All over some group of people who believe killing all the “not them” people will bring back some un-provable “Messiah.”

    Thanks for believing in that crap and setting us on a road to annihilation. :-/

    • Come on! Ask Tibetans about the peacefulness of atheists. Then ask the Cambodians. I am a Christian missionary Bible translator and journalist, and I do not endorse war at all. Jesus clearly taught on this topic with much repetition. (Love your enemies. Do not be an enemy to anyone. Etc.) Why do “churches” go astray? Jesus addressed that too! But the “churches” mistranslate the main KO punchline, making it an endorsement of corruption! (Luke 16:9) Yes, it’s that bad. Yes, it’s the Apocalypse now (and for many centuries past). Join the genuine peace side, before it’s too late. Love for you, and prayers for you, in Jesus’s holy name! Welcome to peruse my work (and mistranslation exposés) at https://christrescues.substack.com/

      • @jjmathiasthomas

        I don’t believe in made up myths of un-provable saviors based on a book of lies, murder, rape, sodomy, etc.
        All organized religions are based on man-made “gods” used for power and control over others. They strip humans of sovereign spiritual expression of thanks for the miracle of sentience to be replaced with rule books of fear from made up evils like satan, hell, demons, sin, etc.

        “You can’t convince a believer of anything; for their belief is not based on evidence, it’s based on a deep-seated NEED to believe.”
        – Carl Sagan

        • Jesus is the foremost critic of the Bible, and in Jesus’s teaching, there is no excuse for injuring others.
          You speak of “the miracle of sentience”. So you believe in the supernatural?
          All existence of the Universe requires a miracle. How did energy and matter come into existence? Something above nature had to give rise to it.
          Jesus testified about the nature (personality, principles, qualities) of that supernatural Creator. His testimony is morally perfect, perfect in rationality, confirmed by miracles, and what Jesus foretold has come true, for example the 2 global dictatorship cults, the massive poisoning of nature (Revelation 8, 13, 17-18).

          • Except yours.
            All religions are absurd,’
            Except yours.

            All belief is neurotic.
            This is an invitation into entanglement in semantics.

            • @hanky
              Excellent Tex 🙂
              IMO, you have really improved your comment ability and focus.

              • Don’t encourage me😯…
                I am having fun learning how to write in my later years, on this new-fangled thing called a computer.

            • Hankey
              “… All belief is neurotic…”

              The thing is people who believe in stuff will always beat people that don’t believe in stuff.

              Notice that the people who want to reshape the world are pretty much pee’ing on those that liked it the way it was- because they had a singular vision of what they wanted and were willing to act to make it happen.

              In a hundred years people will wonder and tell stories about the non religious age.

              • “… All belief is neurotic…”
                That statement could use a little qualifying.
                Of course this refers only to beliefs that you know at some level to be very questionable, but that you must refuse to challenge for psychological reasons. The word, neurotic, is used because of the cognitive dissonance caused by clinging to an idea with one part of your mind, while knowing it is nonsense with another, often suppressed, part of the mind.
                Neuroses can become very unpleasant when the pressure of suppression causes irrational and defensive lies and outbursts.

                This is in contrast with a mundane belief, which is one that is learned from personal and collective experience, one that is useful and can be repeatedly and reliably leaned on. I believe that if I smash my thumb with a hammer, it will be painful and bruised. I believe that my car will stop, if my brakes work, etc. ad infinitum. Collectively, I know that if I use the number system given to us there is a chance that the walls will meet properly, even the first time that I build a house. We don’t proclaim these as ‘deeply held’ beliefs.

                A neurotic belief is always unfalsifiable and unscientific. These are the ‘deeply held’ beliefs. An example would be a belief in prayer. It clearly doesn’t work. If it did, no one that is dearly beloved would suffer and die, let alone a beautiful innocent child.
                Related to this is the idea that obsessing over a mental image of Jesus, Buddha,Mohammed, or Krishna will make your dreams come true. And that you can be certain about what awaits us at death, with or without, 72 recycled virgins.
                Unfortunately, no contrary evidence can change these deeply held beliefs.

                Religion is the obvious place where this is often found and proclaimed. That is why I use the term religious as an insult in other areas, as well. If you are a die hard leftist, Trumptard, scientismist, even an atheist, I say you are part of a religion, despite all the memes and rationalizations you present. Faith and zeal are more important than facts in such cases.
                This makes it very easy for demagogues to manipulate us; this is why I resist religious thinking, even in atheists.

                The logic always breaks down. Some form of bullying, often subtle results.

                I apologize for offending those who identify so much with their beliefs and ideologies that they think I am “pissing on them” when I raise these points. It is nothing new with me, but since 9/11 and COVID, I have become even more honest and clear about my thoughts.

            • What you’re saying isn’t true. Jesus didn’t ridicule other religions. He brought honour to the most hated religion of the time (Samaritanism). Likewise Paul honoured the practice of seeking truth about the supernatural.
              As for all belief being neurotic, that’s disproved by secular studies showing heightened mental health and life meaningful productivity by those who have a faith. Remember Edward Dowd on Tucker? The Cambridge psychiatrist who helps people get free of anti-depressants, told Dowd that depression is usually overcome by doing 3 things: Eat Healthy, Exercise, Get God.

              • When my writing changes someone’s mind, that will be truly remarkable news.

                I am sure that you, and many others are happy with your belief systems. Even if some studies show that some people are less neurotic when they subscribe to your ideas doesn’t really disprove what I was trying to say. Of course my invoking a term like neurotic, is not only provocative, but also opens a semantic quagmire. I allowed myself to do this, because I am subject to so much advertisement to Jesus (and Buddha, etc.) that I thought a little balance might be helpful to some. Life is a great mystery. I can keep my mind open, as I learn.

                BTW I am not, nor have ever been, an atheist. I just am not too hot on your middlemen for God.

            • Hankey

              The thing is that (true or not) the drive to eliminate religion of ten spiritual kind and replace it with the ideological kind- including the focus and on freedom as the ultimate good- is a dead end.

              It always ends the same way, the cycle of history has ground along since forever and the over focus on the self has been before. Even dickie Dawkins knows that religion is of practical value and no man made substitute has or will replace it….the drive to secularism and “reason” was the work of people who ironically believed weirdo occult doctrines and the slop munching goy that ate that up are more malleable then any people before them

              • @Duck

                This is how I perceive ideologies as: successors to religions. They thrived at a time when religious belief was on the decline and became an alternative to man’s need to conceive perfection for the human condition, and more concretely in this case: to reach something akin to the idea of heaven on earth.

                Which is why I believe opposing and resisting the PTB under the banner of an ideology is by no means a priority and would even eventually become an impasse.

          • “All existence of the Universe requires a miracle.”

            says who?

            thats a “supposition” (which isn’t short for “super-position” though it might-could be).

            have you tried that claim out with a plasma physicist? here’s a book by one, describing matter manifesting from magnetic/electric shifts within “plasma clouds” (ranging in size from nano to cosmic) that cause electron geometry to change from charged clouds of dust into versions of “matter”, becoming after many iterations matter as “human”, and even better, humans with opinions, that sometimes calls itself “universe”

            Highly recommended by aunty Catherine and uncle Joe:

            https://robert-temple.com/

            Human imagination can be rich, but beware the arrogance of humanism, “nature” includes all people, right? so when people do something, and say its “poisoned nature” we are then poisoning ourselves. we dont “go out into nature” we are it. including any evil or good one can imagine.

            • You cite a case of matter creating matter, right? Not matter arising from nothing. Where did matter and energy come from? The most plausible explanation is that something supernatural (higher than matter and energy / nature) created it.
              When I cited the fulfilment of the foretelling that nature would be massively poisoned, I was thinking of Revelation chapter 8, which focuses on bodies of water and agricultural resources, but also mentions people dying as a result.

  8. QFC
    Are any of Trump’s disturbing and dramatic moves on the international stage his original idea? In other words, is he a powerful dictator (a king), or a puppet in the play (a pawn)? Are there some issues where he has a freer hand? Who is advising him on these gaudy actions?

    Are the Epstein Files relevant here?

    Well, that is 5 questions, but they are so related, perhaps they can fit into a Corbett episode.

    Extra credit: Is this accurately called a religious war? This may come down to mere semantics, but I greatly respect your thoughts on these subjects.

    • @hanky

      Trump and Netanyahu belong to Chabad, a Jewish supremacist cult dedicated to starting a social cataclysm to destroy Western civilization. This in their twisted minds will bring back the “Messiah” so they can rule all the Goys (cattle to them). Hence their claim to being the “Chosen.”

      Unfortunately very accurate my friend.

      • I am still interested in Corbett’s definition of a religious wars, and where we now stand.

        BTW IRL, the Christians are the ones who claim to be the chosen ones. IRL, I have never seen or heard a Jew say they were the chosen ones. I see and hear it all of the time from Christians. I heard it directly from the pulpit (Methodist) recently. (This church pushes LGBT and wokeism very hard). I was at a music jam just last month, where they sang treacly repetitive songs about “We are the chosen,We are the saved, We are the lucky ones, We are the blessed ones.” Not unique. Silly transparent projection.

  9. Great conversation starters from James.

    Does Human Progress Necessitate Ecological Destruction?
    I don’t believe that for a second. Yes we can be a keystone species. Science confirms God’s blueprint: Be vegan. Don’t harm anyone. Always work to repair the fabric of human conviviality and solidarity.*

    Why Science Fiction Can’t Predict the Future (And Why That’s a Good Thing).
    It can when an insider like Huxley or Kubrick bravely whistleblows.

    Multipolarity As World Government 3.0 & Its Pied Pipers
    That article is too long! Again, careful study of elite power confirms God’s blueprint. Because of human waywardness, nations slide under the control of 2 global dictatorship movements. One seeks unipolar rule. One seeks multipolar rule. The latter destroys the former then is destroyed by Christ’s mouth sword. Why my newsletter is called Sword Mouth News Digest.

    The Iran War (The Movie) Trailer
    This was a MASTERPIECE!

    The Strange Case Of Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’. Trump isn’t what you underestimate him to be. I also grew up in New York City, we trained at the same church. Trump is successful primarily because of what he learned there: positive thinking. Trump Trump by out-positive-thinking the world’s most expert practitioner! The Board of Peace can avert horrific conflict between the 2 global dictatorship cults. And enable the transition to rational international relations.

    * Vegan: Genesis 1:29-30
    Ahimsa: Isaiah 11
    Constant repair of social fabric: Matthew 5, Luke 6 especially.

    • Hate to burst your bubble but carnivores are an absolutely required part of our world. Herbivores mob into herds and continually move (migrate) due to pressure from hungry hunting carnivores. This creates a healthy ecosystem because the land has time to rest and regrow after being stomped and grazed because the herd doesn’t stay in one place very long. This pressure also ensures only the strongest survive thus leaving only the best genetics leading to a more resilient species over time.

      Also, when an animal dies, plants simply can’t absorb all that leaching nitrogen in one spot so other animals come along and eat some, then they defecate other places thus spreading out that nitrogen load across a wider region in a smaller portions plants can absorb.

      Without animals hunting and eating other animals its safe to say the evolution of most of the life on earth would have gone drastically different and we definitely wouldn’t be here today imo.

      • I hate to burst your bubble, but I have thrived for four decades as a vegan. My wife and three kids, too. But maybe I am not a mere animal. Maybe you are. Very scientific, or scientismist.

        • I’m happy for you. I’m not exactly sure your point though. My ancestors have thrived for millions of years eating meat. Four decades is a drop in the bucket in evolutionary terms but regardless I certainly never said a person couldn’t survive without eating meat. My point was that making the claim that animals/people (whatever you want to call life forms that breathe in oxygen and breathe out co2) shouldn’t eat meat (at least thats my understanding of what was taken from genesis) is physically not possible in our world. Plants require the byproducts of animals but cannot consume them directly. They require animals to eat/break down other animals into smaller and smaller pieces. Only then can plants pull out the nutrients they need. Even in a compost pile there are millions of organsims consuming other organisms. Its not ‘harm’ its just life. Its how it works. The plants you eat only exist because animals eat other animals. This is not happenstance its the natural cycle of life. You can be vegan just like a cow can eat only grass. There’s nothing inherently wrong with that but its only possible when many many more animals are not.

          • Thank you for your polite reply.
            I don’t consider human carnivores as beasts. I may have been too defensive when I mentioned my personal experience with veganism, but I felt a need to combat the false image that is relentlessly portrayed and repeated about my demographic. How much of that starts as marketing for huge commercial interests?
            What I wanted to call attention to is the tendency to buy into current ‘scientific’ explanations of what it means to be human.
            They started successfully calling us just another animal in schools and media a mere 50 years ago.
            Of course, we all share many things with animals, but that doesn’t mean we need to follow them as a template for our behavior and feelings. I think we have quite a bit of choice in whether we identify with our basest tendencies, or if we strive for something higher. I would note that James Corbett is very derisive of us being used as ‘tax cattle.’ He similarly scorns those who don’t seem to mind such manipulation as the foolish cattle, destined for the slaughterhouse.
            I caution against identifying with Nature and animals too much. The social engineers would like it, but I think there are other options, that are even better.

    Thoughts from the pew.
    “Clean, clean , Witch clean- what’s the witches next big clean up? Witches of the world, unite-let’s clean up this world and make it livable. . .”
    From a SF novelette I just recently read. Prologue To An Analogue: by Leigh Richmond. 1960
    I highly recommend reading, its about 30 pages. It could have been written last week. It’s about miracles and power of people coming together against evil people.

    “The way things were stewing, it’d be a miracle if the world held together long enough for unity to set in. It’d take a miracle to bring about the necessary self-restraint, which was the only possible substitute for the imposed restraint of war.
    The witch power was, quite clearly, the power of the people–of the people who needed that protection, needed those miracles. And it was the power that had worked miracles.
    We’ll never know who does the job. It’s better that way. Like table tipping. You can say ‘ I didn’t do it. You can even be sure you didn’t do it, if you want to. But the table tips if you get enough people around the table. Ouija writes, if at least two people have their fingers on it, so that each can say ” I didn’t do it”.

    “WHO are the witch’s? Why, they’re the people, and they’re not for burning. The fanatic and their statesmen, the eggheads and their politicians, the brains and the brain trusts and the world-weary –they’re for burning, but not the witches. Which witch is a witch? Doesn’t matter.”

      Why would we believe in anything these NASIS say?

      This is possible because they believe in the limited hangout. This would be an out of this world twist on that tactic. While the original story of us not knowing how to return to the moon for over 50 yrs is very absurd, I entertain the idea that this, more modest mission, was not a complete lie. I don’t simply believe it, but I don’t simply know that this also a total fraud. It is important to know what you don’t know.

      This ties into the whole notion of ‘science’ as an inductivist institution to defend, rather than a process of discovery and verification.

      • The most memorable part of ‘The Bet’ between Ehrlich and Simon, was the infinite stakes on one side vs the very limited liability on the other.
        Remember to be careful when making controversial predictive claims. When they are not clearly and strongly borne out, they can backfire, way out of proportion to the possible advantage. Even when right, like Simon, the media can assure that the bet doesn’t pay off, relative to the odds.
        We have a similar situation when looking at ignorance vs knowledge. While factual knowledge is limited by evidence and reason, ignorance is infinite in its potential bounds. The same can be said for intelligence vs stupidity. The same is also true for Lies vs Truth. The versions of the truth on a certain topic are severely limited, sometimes to just one, while the there is a very large store of potential lies to draw from.

        • Karl Popper eloquently writes about the error of inductivism in science.

          “Every genuine test of a theory is an attempt to falsify it, or to refute it”.

          “Scientists try to eliminate their false theories, they try to let them die in their stead. The believer—whether animal or man—perishes with his false beliefs”.

          “A theory that explains everything, explains nothing”.

          “Science advances by daring to be wrong, not by pretending to be perfect”.

          “It is the rule [of science] which says that the other rules of scientific procedure must be designed in such a way that they do not protect any statement in science against falsification”.

          “Whenever the ‘classical’ system of the day is threatened by the results of new experiments which might be interpreted as falsifications… the system will appear unshaken to the conventionalist.”

          • Hanky

            Vaguely I understand what you are saying here. My high strung emotional reaction is clouding the science behind my empirical observations… . Inductively my suspicion of the sun raising prediction of this agency and the sculdruggerly that has been leveled against them has much father to go to be fact ? Can you help explain, in a clear way the 50% of my vagueness that surely can’t be true nor proven by the scientific method ? No ? That to me is helpful in understanding that my feelings are my own. OMG I must be human. Quite the paradox? I feel I could know more.

            • Seriously, This is the main thing.

              “Every genuine test of a theory is an attempt to falsify it, or to refute it”.

              It is the opposite of modern celebrity science and media and government scientism. But it is the real way to do science with integrity. It requires humility, but it opens the way to real progress.
              Think COVID and 9/11. Instead of attempting to refute selected ‘scientific’ explanations, the cowardly scientists did the opposite. They defended positions, instead of doing unbiased investigation. They embraced censorship and government propaganda narratives. We are in trouble, as truth becomes minimized.

              Corbett is great at exploring this important, albeit disturbing, phenomenon.
              https://corbettreport.com/?s=crisis+in+science&et_pb_searchform_submit=et_search_proccess&et_pb_include_posts=yes&et_pb_include_pages=yes

            • Science has its place. It requires strict adherence and allegiance to evidence and reason.
              Emotion has its place. It is necessary for humans to get things done. The word shares it root with motivation.

              Strong evidence and logic facilitate communication about important topics.
              Strong emotions promote confirmation bias and conflicts.

              We must live with paradoxes. We must learn from them and our lives, in general. There are no viable shortcuts to right answers about the big questions. Resorting to emotion is often a form of laziness that we pay dearly for.
              It can come with high interest.

  11. Derrick Broze has finally published the conclusion of his documentary series “The Pyramid of Power”: https://thepyramidofpower.net/chapter-17-volume-2-the-top-of-the-pyramid/

    He actually did so about a month ago and a link to The Pyramid of Power was presented in the show notes of “Recovering From Addiction – #SolutionsWatch” https://corbettreport.com/recovering-from-addiction/ but I don’t think it was brought up here that he posted the last episode of his production. James is in it. It was a very ambitious didactic project and the whole series is around 11 hours long. As many others probably were, I was curious to see what he was going to come up with.

    To me, one very important aspect of this kind of investigation is that we are dissecting (while we have the tools to do it) something that is distant, difficult to decrypt and figure out, as our ancestors have done with their surroundings. Sharing data and opinions, like researchers do. The following idea might come across as a little bit strange, but I believe that in the bigger picture, this is a part of the process of human evolution. Now the reality of “conspiracies” in relation to power is at last becoming an accepted fact among the population, especially over the last few weeks, and to fully recognise that notion will become natural. This is going to bring about some alterations in society, some of them we can’t even suspect at this time. Perhaps not all will be desirable, but most of them will certainly matter.

    • In the same vein as the above comment:

      I’ve come across a Whitney Webb interview yesterday – before realising it had been initially posted over a year ago (as stated in The Corbett Report before, they’re really milking her name as much as possible) – but regardless, the conversation is still relevant, possibly even more so now, which is why I guess that YT channel decided to publish it again. What caught my attention was the message Whitney was trying to convey as well as explain to the interviewer: “if you really are interested in informing people with the intent of undoing this power structure’s control over society, you have to understand that it’s much bigger than any one nation state”: https://youtu.be/_LCFsTnEGiE&t=890

      She instisted in making this specific point a few times throughout the 53 mn long video. This kind of declaration is probably what’s more important than anything else in such interviews, because there’s a short window of time for people not just to understand what’s really going on, but also to react. Now, because of the attack on Iran right after the Epstein files scandal, there’s a massive amount of people who can’t help but put one and one together.

      For the newer generations, I imagine there’s no going back anyway, at an age when our perception of reality is still going through its early “programming”, because the Epstein case has already marked modern history and however it’ll be intepreted exactly at an individual level, the notion that for an “elite”, pedophilia is some kind of guilty pleasure, that the latter is also a tool for blackmailing, and that those people can be above the law, all this will remain etched in the memory of those under a certain age. To them, it’ll be what normality is like. Yet another problem could be that although these cognitive associations will exist, they could also be combined with a sentiment of apathy.

      Is it those who are in a state of shock and are outraged who might get off their armchairs and do something? Then, of course, a cataclysmic event like, let’s say, a global conflict, could traumatise humanity to such an extent that it would wipe our collective memory clean…

    • UNILAD News:

      “R3 CEO and co-founder Alice Gilman has said she does not like this word for the sacks of organs her team is developing, as by design, they aren’t really missing anything at all. Even if her lab is full of headless mice.”

      “One of their biggest backers Boyang Wang, CEO of investment fund Immortal Dragons.”

      “If we can create a non-sentient, headless bodyoid for a human being, that will be a great source of organs.”

      “Not only do the scientists hope that these lab-grown headless humans would solve the problems of organ donation, but they also hope that their innovation would make testing at large more accurate as it would be able to skip the animal-based study stage and go straight to plying human organ sacks with experimental drugs.”

      What could go wrong?

  12. Good morning all,

    For those who are bemoaning the state of search engines, it’s possible to host your own – I have a self-hosted instance of searx.ng. it’s not perfect but it does well.

    And James – don’t think we’ve forgotten about your new book club. I’m champing at the bit!

  13. I hope we can have a book club session of
    WORLD WATCHERS.
    James is a world watcher. Is there a history of World Watchers?.
    It’s Obvious that propaganda of nation states follows the watching of regions of the world. A certain amount of linear observations must occur before the interpretation is given of what was observed. The new way, internet researchers, and the old way ; investigative journalist, private eyes, and conspiracy theorists watch and report. Too often to their own detriments; economic, integrity and death. So it must be potentially valuable or powerful to some interest.
    This resent aggression against Iran has no linear congruency on the surface. The destruction of Israel and Palestine makes no sense . The reports from the World Watchers are trying to make sense of the past to unravel the mystery of what is being observed today. Some historical accounts revealed Spys, Spooks and Diplomates and Double Agents to World Watch for us . We citizens don’t receive much from that group for they create only secrets which turn into manipulation propaganda and lies. All of which can turn into wars. What has been needed is World Watching that we can use. It must have always been a need for these World Watchers throughout history. It must have changed from being a necessity of the Heads of State to a necessity of the citizen. I know your probably saying it was Northcliff, or Pulitzer or Hearst to just increase newspaper sales or books going back to Guttenberg. Fine I get that but does each new technology in communication usher in a new World Watcher need? A self evident need of government to govern larger and larger chunks of this world? Seems so. I’m no constitutional scholar and may be wrong but the document seems to try to prevent that government creep by encouraging the World Watchers reporting to the bottom first then on up to the top. The Story of the World Watchers must be out there for all to see and use for their own good…

  14. Okay, it is time for everybody to swamp this number. Call this number to lodge a HUGE complaint. 202-224-3121. An AI bot will answer and if you do not know your Congressional representative you can tell it the state that you live in, and it will connect you to your senator or congressmans’ voicemail.
    I am aware it may do nothing to stop this genocidal aggression being done in the name of America, nevertheless, I strongly want to be on record as stating that we must stop bombing Iran, fix what we broke, and go away. If this is all I can do, I will do that.

  15. Explosion & fire near Panama Canal entrance sparks scrutiny. Shipping routes stay on edge

    The incident is not yet a confirmed macro market mover, but its location gives it outsized relevance. With Hormuz risk already pushing closer attention onto alternative shipping routes, any threat to Panama Canal access or nearby fuel logistics would amplify cross-market sensitivity in oil, freight and broader risk sentiment.

    Sauerkraut juice can degrade glyphosate
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5v9ewzWJHFA
    Roundup glyphosate can get into the ground via animals that eat contaminated food.
    This damages the link between plants and the ground bacteria.
    It causes plants to starve of minerals even when these minerals are available.
    By using fermented cabbage / acid cabbage, the toxic glyphosate appears to be broken apart.
    According to comment, it is done by lactobacillus planetarium which is a naturally occurring microbe in fermenting cabbage

    The silent Gauss gun and China’s electromagnetic bid to dominate future wars
    https://www.naturalnews.com/2026-04-07-silent-gauss-gun-chinas-electromagnetic-bid-dominate.html
    “China is not merely developing defensive counter drone technology. It is fielding systems that can silently, invisibly, and without forensic trace, control crowds, eliminate targets, and neutralize swarms. The age of the gunpowder firearm is not ending with a bang. It is ending with a whisper and a microwave pulse.”

    • Look at the good side. The Chinese have not yet used their technology to wipe out entire large cities with nukes.😃

  18. I’ve been trying to create a general “Have you been propagandized?/Are you susceptible to propaganda?” test. So far, I’ve only been able to come up with 3 questions for this test.

    1. How long does it take you to stop questioning?

    There is some nuance to consider here because the answers a person gets from questions can either be ridiculous or frustration due to some obstinance of the person answering the questions, but, in general, it indicates how much a person is either willing to believe they have enough relevant information or how much a person is willing to make a decision without information.
    Another way I like to express it is: the first step towards fanaticism is taken when the last question is asked.

    2. Which concerns a person more: what could be or what is?

    The thing about possibilities is that they’re infinite. The future is something that will always be uncertain. And, quite frankly, we have enough trouble trying to determine the truth of the present and the past. This is not to say someone shouldn’t be concerned for the future, but a person thinking they know where they are going when they don’t even know where they stand. But the ideas of where they are going come from somewhere. All information a person takes in is through information they have gotten from somewhere, either through someone else’s direction or their own, and a person can just as easily take in false information as they can factual. In essence, this question could be considered a sub-question to question 1. However, the subtle difference in this question is that it shows how likely a person is to give into fear.

    3. How concerned are they about something that will never affect them?

    The astute will quickly realize how this can be considered a sub-question to question 2. The difference is that this question shows how willing a person is to try and exert power over another. Most people can agree that, as long as a person isn’t harming another, there is no reason to concern oneself with the actions of others. We all must acknowledge the grey in the analysis of the actions of others in that we never truly know how much the private actions of another will affect us, but that shows us we can never truly know if any action we take as a result is even a beneficial one.

    So, those are what I was able to come up with. Again, they break down into: what do you believe, what do you fear, and what are you willing to do against others. I was wondering if anyone else might have something worthwhile to add.

  19. We should know in the next weeks or months if Operation Covid was a rehearsal or a mere experiment, by the way.

    • It can be both. Just sayin’.

  20. By the way, I find the term ‘multi-polar world order’ interesting. We all know the poles, as James pointed out, are all going to point to the same places. So, it would probably more accurate to say ‘multi-polar globalism’ or ‘sectional globalism’.

  22. Two Latin phrases worth remembering – from Josh Stylman’s latest post about the information war.

    Excerpts (emphasis added):
    Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus. Latin for “false in one thing, false in everything.”
    Omnia praesumuntur contra spoliatorem. “Everything is presumed against the destroyer of evidence.”

    “Put those two together and I think my friend showed me two more nodes in the operating system for navigating all of this without losing your mind. You don’t have to solve every case. You don’t have to prove what happened. You just have to establish two things – the lie and the destruction of evidence – and in a sane and just world the burden moves to the other side.

    “That’s how lawyers function when the other party controls all the records. It’s also, I think, the only way to navigate an information environment that’s designed to make you feel hopeless and docile.

    “It’s also part of why I find myself more interested in what happens before events than in the post-event forensics. When you find something in the record that predicts what later happened – a published plan, a simulation that mirrors the real thing a little too precisely (Event 201, anyone?), a headline that reads like a spoiler – that’s the anomaly the official story has to explain away. And when the archives and the investigators and the media all report to the same institutions whose credibility is on the line… well, contra spoliatorem is doing the heavy lifting at that point. The ambiguity doesn’t break their way. They made sure of that when they destroyed the evidence.”

    Two Rules for the Cartesian Crisis
    An Old Framework For Navigating An Information War
    https://stylman.substack.com/p/two-rules-for-the-cartesian-crisis

  23. Just wanted to give a heads up that I updated my article (linked by James above in the header of this thread) on “Does Human Progress Necessitate Ecological Destruction? Or Are We Capable Of Being A Keystone Species ?” to include information on the ancient food forest tending cultures of Asia. I included info on both ancient tropical as well as temperate/mountainous region food forests in Asia.

    I recently learned of a particular group of ancient indigenous people that lived in what is called modern day Japan that created impressive Chestnut food forests while reading a book called “Feed Us With Trees”.

    “In Japan, when the people of the Aomori prefecture began surveying a piece of land for a baseball stadium in 1992, they uncovered the remains of what is now the largest known settlement from the Jomon period (14,000-300 BCE). The people who inhabited the site relied on chestnuts, a dietary staple long before the advent of rice cultivation. The size of chestnut burrs and nuts increased dramatically between the early and late Jomon period, and archaeologists working at the Sannai-Maruyama Site in Aomori believe the people who lived there were the first known chestnut cultivators in the region.” – Elspeth Hay

    I did some more investigating and found some impressive evidence of advanced regenerative agroforestry practices in that region from many millennia ago.

    The Sannai-Maruyama Site (Aomori Prefecture) offered significant evidence of 5,500-year-old chestnut food forest site, where researchers found evidence of large-scale, sustained chestnut (Castanea crenata), oak (Quercus crispula), lacquer trees (Toxicodendron verniciflua) and walnut (Juglans ailantifolia cultivation, including managed groves maintained for roughly 1,500 years.

    Modern academics often dismiss such cultures with the term “hunter-gatherer” but this generalizing and dismissing term fails to accurately describe food forest tending cultures such as the Jōmon (and their Ainu descendants). Such labels are typically applied by the propagandists of imperialistic empires seeking to downplay the accomplishments of the people they stole land from.

    The Jōmon people (c. 14,000–300 BCE) cultivated chestnut (Castanea crenata) forests and managed groves as a stable, long-term food source, planting them around settlements for centuries. Evidence from sites like Sannai-Maruyama and the Omiya-no-moriura ruins (10,900–10,700 BCE) shows they maintained these trees, using them for food and construction, demonstrating active, early arboriculture rather than simple foraging.

Amazing how simple prose can burn an image in your mind: “A new spring dawns on an old darkness that hardly retreats to caves and cracks as it used to—evil that is beginning to grin smugly in the sun, not bothering to hide anymore before a people who have grown numb to it. Their silence can be counted as acceptance.
