First, watch this cynical performance by President Trump quite purposefully rendered on the very day of his HUGE Iran War negotiation fail. As if he has not a care in the world while the whole world is on edge due to the rapidly worsening and meticulously engineered global energy collapse.[1]
That very bad acting is just more proof of the deliberately sabotaged negotiation efforts on the American side by you know who:

from 21st Century Wire:
This latest attempt at a ‘ceasefire’ is coming unravelled at record speed. Unfortunately, its viability hinges on whether the US and Donald Trump can restrain Israel from its constant violent attacks on Lebanon and Gaza. In that sense, these talks were meant to fail, as Netanyahu is desperate for the war to continue. The Iranians are under no illusion as to whether the US is agreement capable— and are skeptical about whether this latest ‘pause’ could lead to any permanent ceasefire agreement, or any sustainable political settlement. Tehran has very little trust that Trump will actually honor his commitments, and understand that Israel will not observe any ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon. The reason it’s a nonstarter is because Trump’s last two cycles of negotiations with Iran ended abruptly ended with Israeli and American mounting a sneak attack them twice— in June 2025 and February 2026. Meanwhile, Trump and his party are hemorrhaging voters ahead of the Midterms. What will it take for hostilities to wind down? All this and more.

The V for Vendetta graphic novel has been on my “Why haven’t I read this yet?” reading list for many years. Written by Alan Moore and illustrated by David Lloyd in 1989, its fame doubled with James McTeigue’s 2005 film adaptation, written and produced by the Wachowkis and starring Hugo Weaving.
For the last two decades, V’s smiling mask has been haunting me, asking why I have not yet read this classic of pro-liberty fiction. Well, last month, I finally read it while narrating the artwork to my blind son, Jonah (forcing me to translate every sneer, smile and shadow into words). Despite the story’s numerous flaws — which oddly enough almost enhance its philosophical flair — I feel it’s a five-star work of art.

President Trump was presented with a great opportunity on Saturday to take the off-ramp from his war on Iran. After threatening Iran that “a whole civilization will die tonight,” Trump managed to get a two week pause in the war with the intervention of the Pakistani government.
A window opened to end this illegal war. Vice President Vance traveled to Pakistan to negotiate with a high-level Iranian delegation and from press reporting progress was made on many issues.

Behind The Headlines – The F-15E rescue Iran operation, sold by the Trump administration as a ‘biblical’ triumph, stands exposed as one of the most costly and contradictory failures in modern military history. Not only did it set back the US taxpayer over $300 million dollars, Iran now claims that they foiled an attempt to seize the nation’s highly enriched uranium – explains geopolitical analyst Robert Inlakesh in this week’s MintPress Livestream.
A triumphant success of biblical proportions, was the way US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth described his nation’s mission to evacuate two fighter pilots, whose F-15E fighter jet was downed over Iran’s Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province.
“You see, shot down on a Friday —Good Friday — hidden in a cave — a crevice — all of Saturday and rescued on Sunday. Flown out of Iran as the sun was rising on Easter Sunday, a pilot reborn. All home and accounted for. A nation rejoicing. God is good”, stated Hegseth.

JPMorgan Chase processed payments tied to Jeffrey Epstein for over a decade, and it barely caused a ripple.
I want to be clear about what JPMorgan’s own internal documents show in this case, because this is not speculation and it is not circumstantial; it is what the bank’s own files recorded and what federal court proceedings have made part of the public record.
55 accounts and over 1.1 billion dollars processed. Payments to more than 20 named victims, most of them children. Over 600,000 dollars processed to a girl that the bank’s own internal files noted Epstein had “purchased” at age 14, and I want you to sit with that word for a moment because the bank wrote it down themselves, in their own building, in their own records, the word “purchased” about a 14 year old girl, as though she were a line item in an inventory system, and then they kept processing his transactions because the money was too good and the girl was too powerless for anyone in that building to find it worth stopping.

Sounds like satire… but it’s not
Pedophiles serving time in UK prisons are being permitted to record bedtime stories and podcasts for their child relatives using state-of-the-art facilities behind bars.
Yes, really. It sounds like something from Brass Eye, but it’s real.
Taxpayer-funded multimedia studios have been built in sex offender jails, with predators being given microphone time, while the same system hunts down and even imprisons citizens for tweeting about grooming gangs.

Iran War Economic Impact: How Middle East Conflict Is Reshaping Global Supply Chains
As the war in Iran stretches into its seventh week, the global economic impact increases by the day. These impacts are direct in terms of energy prices but increasingly indirect as nations around the world adjust their trade policies and prepare for supply squeezes and shortages.
