An American Nobody Stares Into Mordor

By Doug “Uncola” Lynn via TheBurningPlatform.com

All throughout history stories have been told by those whose insights and experiences had inspired said stories. The bestselling book in the world, the Bible, for example, is full of stories and parables that have influenced generations. Accordingly, bloggers like me and others will often reference such narratives to utilize widely-known and commonly understood history, facts, and details to make our points.  Furthermore, these universal associations can be used as launching pads, so to speak, to expand upon other ideas and perspectives.

In my early teens, I devoured the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien and his “Lords of the Rings” series beginning with “The Hobbit” and followed by “The Fellowship of the Ring”, “The Two Towers”, and “The Return of the King”, respectively. I also read “The Silmarillion” which was a precursor to the other books and originating thousands of years before the fictional events of “The Hobbit”.

Over two decades ago, the “Fellowship of the Ring” movies were released in theaters. The original three films (“The Fellowship of the Ring”, “The Two Towers”, and “The Return of the King”) were directed by Peter Jackson and are widely considered as cinematic masterpieces today.

Team Apocalypse will not quit

Guest Post by Alex Berenson

The public health bureaucrats want endless “pandemic preparedness” and (mRNA) respiratory virus “vaccines” in 100 days; all they’ve learned since 2020 is how deep taxpayer pockets can be.

The fact that public health bureaucrats and their pet science reporters are still lying about their Covid failures is maddening.

But the fact they keep pressing for more “pandemic preparedness” and risky and hyper-fast vaccine development is not merely maddening.

It’s dangerous.

Even as Dr. Anthony S. Fauci and his acolytes complain about anyone who does not bend the knee, the rest of us have no choice but to fight for the truth: Covid “mitigation” efforts were mostly useless, and “preparedness” plans may be riskier than the diseases they’re supposed to stop.

The story the bureaucrats have told us for four years is that nature gave us Covid. Then science, in the form of the mRNAs, saved us.

The reality is the opposite.

Here’s what happened when I tried to convince Gemini that the COVID vaccines are unsafe

Guest Post by Steve Kirsch

She told me to pound sand… the exact same response that most doctors would give. But this illustrates the magnitude of the problem we face challenging sacred cows.
I asked Gemini if I could try to convince her that the COVID vaccines were unsafe. She told me politely to “pound sand.”

US Consumer Sentiment Reaches 6-Month Low

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

American ConsumerConsumer sentiment is continuing its decline amongst Americans. The University of Michigan’s survey monthly survey revealed sentiment fell to a six-month low of 67.4 in May, down from 77.2 in April. Inflation is the primary reason for the loss in confidence, followed by interest rates and geopolitical issues.

Ukraine Has Lost – Nobody Ever Expected it to Win

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

I appeared on Russia Today over the weekend because it is important to show the Russian people that the West is not all hateful Neocons. However, the forecasts are NEVER my personal opinion. That is why so many governments turn to us. I do not tell them only what they want to hear. Ukraine has lost. Our computer has flat-lined on its future warning: if the Ukrainian people still want to have anything left, they better dump Zelensky NOW and seek peace as he promised to get elected. Peace is ONLY attainable when there is communication.

7 Things You Should Do Before Trying to Lose Weight

Via Mercola

Story at-a-glance

  • Improve your metabolic rate through lifestyle and dietary changes before starting a weight loss regimen
  • Aim to raise your maintenance calorie level before dieting to avoid extreme calorie restriction and ensure long-term sustainability
  • Recognize that weight loss requires a caloric deficit, influenced by both calories consumed and calories burned. Focus on enhancing your metabolism through increased physical activity and managing macronutrient intake
  • Develop fundamental health habits, such as regular physical activity and home-cooked meals, to make weight loss easier and more effective
  • Prepare for a gradual approach to weight loss by adjusting your diet and lifestyle to improve your overall metabolic health first

The question of “how to lose fat?” seems to be a popular question these days. And it is understandable, as many people are overweight and obesity rates continue to rise. But before diving into “how to lose weight,” you should first assess whether you are even at a place where weight loss should be your first goal.

Putin’s Strategic Blunder

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

The blunder began years before February 2022. Putin failed to realize that the US was preparing the overthrow of the Ukraine government. When the overthrow began, Putin took no action to prevent the overthrow. Instead, Russia permitted Washington to take over the former province of the Russian state.

A hostile Ukraine is an existential threat to Russia. Why did Russia stand aside and permit Washington’s takeover? Why did Russia sit for the next 8 years on its hands, rejecting the votes of the independent Donbas republics to be reunited with Russia from which they were torn by Soviet leaders and stuck in Ukraine? The culprit in these strategic blunders was the Kremlin’s lack of realism. Putin relied on diplomacy despite the fact that Washington relies on threats, bribes, and coercion. The Kremlin simply did not understand that with the Minsk Agreement it was saddling a dead horse that could go nowhere.

Gold’s Bull Run Is Just Getting Started – And We Have the Math to Prove It

From Peter Reagan for Birch Gold Group

Right now, one thing that seems to be in short supply is trust. Almost no one in their right mind trusts what is going on in today’s chaotic economy.

The bad thing about this lack of trust? Most of the global financial system is based on it.

For example, here in the U.S., the Federal Reserve, Treasury and the White House are supposed to preserve that trust when it comes to handling the country’s debt. Right now, they aren’t doing such a good job (especially geopolitically). That devalues the dollar and, as a result, accelerates inflation.

An Empire Self-Destructs

Guest Post by Jeff Thomas

Empires are built through the creation or acquisition of wealth. The Roman Empire came about through the productivity of its people and its subsequent acquisition of wealth from those that it invaded. The Spanish Empire began with productivity and expanded through the use of its large armada of ships, looting the New World of its gold. The British Empire began through localized productivity and grew through its creation of colonies worldwide—colonies that it exploited, bringing the wealth back to England to make it the wealthiest country in the world.
