Selco: “Here Are Some of the WORST Pieces of Prepping Advice I’ve Heard”

by Daisy Luther, The Organic Prepper:

The competition for the worst prepping advice out there is pretty sharp. It’s been going on for many years and has a tendency to get even more ridiculous as time goes on.

One reason is that a lot of the advice is pushing you in the direction of buying something, and when you need to buy something things can go weird and false.

Another reason is the fact that there are numerous “experts” out there, and it does not have to be about selling. Often it can be that people just want to be known as experts because they feel more important or whatever.

The Roman Empire’s Fatal Mistake—and America May Be Repeating It in Iran

by Nick Giambruno, International Man:

Crassus was one of the richest and most powerful men in Rome.

He rose to the top alongside Julius Caesar and Pompey as part of the First Triumvirate, an informal three-man alliance that dominated Roman politics even though it was not an official office.

Crassus wanted military glory to match his wealth and political influence, so in 53 BC he led a Roman invasion of the Parthian Empire, which then ruled much of what is now modern-day Iran.

A Few More Conquests Like This, and the Empire Will Be Done For!

by Karen Kwiatkowski, Lew Rockwell:

In the meantime our great Military is Loading Up and Resting, looking forward, actually, to its next Conquest. AMERICA IS BACK!

~  DJT, April 8, 2026.

The President’s account on TruthSocial is a noxious stew of misleading information, outright lies, and amoral imperialism.  Last year’s “Donroe Doctrine” is a cheap snark of the 1800’s Monroe Doctrine, with no trace of the latter’s objective. This year, in addition to two new criminal wars of aggression and regime change, Trump’s contempt for real faith leads him to personally post images of himself as Christ, egged on by his deranged “spiritual” guide Paula White.  When questioned about the now-deleted post, he lied saying it was a picture of himself as a doctor, making people better, something “he does a lot.” Like increasingly noticed US military capabilities, Trump’s lies are vapid and hollow.

“Civilizations Die from Suicide, Not From Murder”

by John Leake, The Focal Points:

Arnold Toynbee’s famous thesis finds stunning expression in the West.

Last fall, Dr. McCullough and I made a pilgrimage to Silicon Valley to meet one of the titans of tech. The ostensible purpose of the meeting was so that he could hear Dr. McCullough’s assessment of the COVID-19 mRNA shots. However, about thirty minutes into the meeting, I remarked that his belief in the efficacy and safety of the vaccines was so firm if not unshakable that it wasn’t clear why we’d flown out from Dallas to speak with him.

The Day After Islamabad: When U.S. Power Meets Its Future in the Narrow Strait of Hormuz

from 21st Century Wire:

Islamabad was never a peace conference in any honest sense. It was the moment Washington tried to turn military failure into diplomatic blackmail. What it could not break with bombs, it tried to extract across a polished table. Iran answered by making clear that sovereignty defended under attack would not be converted into a concession or any form of surrender.

The Islamabad talks did not fail because diplomacy ran out of time. They failed because Washington came demanding what war had not delivered, while Tehran came unwilling to sign away, in a hotel room, what it had just defended under fire in its own skies and waters.

Soon the Trump administration will have to start faking public events like the Biden administration did…
