BREAKING: U.S. military strikes Iran after President Trump accused Tehran of violating a ceasefire in the Strait of Hormuz.

If Iran violates the ceasefire, and the USA strikes Iran for violating the ceasefire, does the mean the ceasefire is back on?
We truly live in clown world.

Jacob Hornberger at The Future of Freedom Foundation writes a thought provoking piece on Freedom in the United States in 2026.

Yes, our rulers give us more controlled choices than those living in some other countries, but is that freedom? From the perspective of someone who has 0% freedom, 10% freedom looks great. But, is freedom something to be measured on a sliding scale, or is freedom all or nothing: 100% or 0%?

After Jacob's piece, you'll be questioning if we really live in the Land of the Free, or have we been programed by the national anthem to believe we do?

Chilling piece on @zerohedge about the surveillance state. While we may find surveillance technology beneficial when it's used on our adversaries, it can quickly become a tool that's used against us.

The consequences of going off the gold standard as explained by Murray Rothbard in, "What Has Government Done to Our Money":

"But whether Treasury or Central Bank, the effect of fiat issue is the same: the monetary standard is now at the mercy of the government, and bank deposits are redeemable simply in government paper".

In other words, our store of value for time and energy spent working is placed in a piece of paper the government can, and does, print.
