1. 6 Major Developments That The Mainstream Media Is Being Strangely Quiet About Right Now


Absolutely enormous things are happening all over the globe, but you aren't hearing a lot about many of them.  That is because the mainstream media chooses to focus on stories that advance the specific narratives that they are currently pushing.  For example, virtually everyone knows who Kilmar Abrego Garcia is at this point, because the mainstream media has been endlessly focusing on him.  But there are other stories of far more importance that are not getting nearly the attention that they deserve.  The following are 6 major developments that that the mainstream media is being strangely quiet about right now…

#1 A "self-amplifying" mRNA bird flu vaccine that has been developed by a biotechnology company known as Arcturus Therapeutics Holdings has been fast-tracked by the FDA

Arcturus Therapeutics Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:ARCT), a biotechnology firm specializing in mRNA medicines with a market capitalization of $266 million, announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track Designation to its self-amplifying mRNA vaccine candidate, ARCT-2304. The vaccine is aimed at providing immunity against the H5N1 subtype of influenza A, a virus with potential pandemic implications.

This is a story of extreme importance, but hardly anyone is talking about it because the mainstream media is barely giving it any attention.

#2 Is the Elsinore fault waking up?  The magnitude 5.2 earthquake that just hit the California has "reignited fears that the 'Big One' is coming"

A major earthquake in Southern California this week has reignited fears that the 'Big One' is coming, but scientists say it may come from an unlikely source.

The little-known Elsinore fault is branch of the infamous San Andreas fault, stretching over 100 miles across Southern California, from the US-Mexico border, through San Diego and Riverside Counties, and up towards Los Angeles.

The California Institute of Technology has noted that the Elsinore fault, which sits just 15 miles from San Diego County, is one of the largest fault zones in Southern California.

According to Dr. Lucy Jones, the Elsinore fault has the potential to generate a magnitude 7.8 earthquake someday…

The Elsinore fault zone is actually one of the largest in Southern California, according to Caltech, but "in historical times, has been one of the quietest."

However, that inactivity belies a devastating potency. The fault is capable of generating a magnitude 7.8 earthquake, said seismologist Lucy Jones, a Caltech research associate.

"The Elsinore fault is one of the major risks in Southern California," Jones said.

As I keep warning, it is just a matter of time before a colossal earthquake absolutely devastates the California coast.

Are you ready for when that day finally arrives?

#3 The price of gold has skyrocketed to record high levels

It's been a banner year for gold. In March, the precious metal's price crossed the $3,000 per ounce mark for the first time in history — and the upward price trajectory didn't stop there. The price of gold has continued to climb in the time since, surging past the $3,300 per ounce mark this week.

I never imagined that the price of gold would be above $3,300 in the middle of April.

How high will it go by the end of the year?

#4 The Sun has been acting very strangely in recent months, and scientists are now warning that a "lesser-known, 100-year-long" solar cycle is "just beginning to ramp up again"

The unexpected surge of solar activity during the ongoing solar maximum may be tied to a lesser-known, 100-year-long cycle that is just beginning to ramp up again, a new study suggests.

This little-known solar cycle is called "the Centennial Gleissberg Cycle", and it is yet another reason why solar activity is expected to be unusually high during the years in front of us…

Another, lesser-known repeating pattern in solar activity is the Centennial Gleissberg Cycle (CGC) — a variation in the intensity of sunspot cycles that rises and falls every 80 to 100 years. The CGC is still poorly understood, but it is likely tied to "subtle sloshing" of the magnetic fields in each of the sun's two hemispheres that slightly alters the Hale cycle, Scott McIntosh, a solar physicist at the newly formed space weather solutions company Lynker Space, who was not involved in the research, told Live Science.

#5 In Alaska, a major eruption of Mount Spurr could be coming very soon

Scientists with the Alaska Volcano Observatory have said that Mount Spurr, a volcano located roughly 80 miles from Anchorage, is likely to erupt in the coming weeks or months based on elevated seismic activity.

In the event of an eruption, scientists said, it's highly possible ash will make its way to Anchorage, causing issues with air quality and possibly disrupting travel.

Mount Spurr has covered Anchorage in ash before, and we are being warned that a similar event in 2025 "could result in widespread ashfall across the region"

While Anchorage lies outside the immediate impact zone of Mount Spurr, previous eruptions in 1953 and 1992 sent ash clouds over the city, coating it in about a quarter inch of ash.

A similar event today could result in widespread ashfall across the region, the AVO warned.

Volcanoes all over the "Ring of Fire" have been roaring back to life.  I believe that it is just a matter of time before volcanoes in Washington and Oregon start waking up too.

#6 The New York Times is reporting that President Trump actually blocked an Israeli attack on Iran that was originally planned for May.  Apparently, Trump wanted to see if a deal could be negotiated with the Iranians instead.  The following is what Zero Hedge had to say about the New York Times report…

President Donald Trump rejected an Israeli plan to attack Iran with US military support, which was pitched with a timeline of as soon as next month, in favor of seeking diplomacy with Tehran, The New York Times reported late Wednesday.

The report indicated Israel was seeking significant American support for preemptive strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, with aerial bombings backing up Israeli commando raids to destroy the Iranian sites. The viewpoint from Tel Aviv is that such a massive operation, envisioned to take a week, would not be successful without direct US assistance.

It was during Prime Minister Benjamin Netanayhu's visit to the White House earlier this month that Trump informed the Israeli leader that instead he would pursue new diplomatic talks with Iran.

This is good news.

But the Iranians do not seem to be in any mood to compromise.

At the moment, they are insisting that they must be allowed to continue to enrich uranium.

That is not going to be acceptable to Israel, and I don't think that it is going to be acceptable to the Trump administration either.

We shall see how negotiations go this weekend, but it appears that a major conflict with Iran is coming sooner or later.

Global events are starting to move at a pace that is absolutely breathtaking.

Unfortunately, most Americans just continue to live their lives as if the party will never end.

2. 8 States Weigh Bills to Establish or Expand Exemptions to School Vaccine Mandates


Arizona is one of eight states that have introduced bills during the 2025 legislative session to establish or expand exemptions to school vaccine mandates, according to Dawn Richardson, advocacy director for the National Vaccine Information Center.

Should parents, students and employees be allowed to claim religious exemptions from vaccine mandates? That's the question an increasing number of state lawmakers are being asked to decide as they consider a new wave of proposed bills.

Arizona is one of eight states that have introduced bills during the 2025 legislative session to establish or expand exemptions to school vaccine mandates, according to Dawn Richardson, advocacy director for the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC).

"Vaccine mandates for school and childcare attendance and their corresponding vaccine exemptions have been in state law for decades," Richardson said. But this year, "more states have bills to expand these exemptions than to restrict or remove them."

In 2010, Richardson created and launched the NVIC Advocacy Portal, which provides free information about proposed state vaccine laws. Since then, she and her team have analyzed, tracked and issued positions on over 1,000 vaccine-related bills across the U.S.

"Until medical mandates are a relic of history — and that day is coming — religious exemptions are the primary way to avoid medical coercion," said Children's Health Defense CEO Mary Holland.

According to Richardson, only three states — Hawaii, Massachusetts and New Jersey — proposed legislation this year attempting to remove school vaccine mandate exemptions. However, Hawaii lawmakers, under pressure from constituents, voted last month to table the bill, which would have repealed the state's religious exemption from vaccine mandates.

Meanwhile, other states are advancing legislation that strengthens or expands vaccine exemptions. For instance, Alabama lawmakers on April 3 passed a bill that specifies that a parent or guardian's written declaration is "sufficient documentation" to exempt his or her child from a vaccine requirement for religious reasons.

Alabama lawmakers are also considering a bill that would require private and church schools to accept religious exemptions to vaccine requirements.

On March 26, Utah's governor signed into law a measure to ensure that public school students' vaccine exemption forms don't expire and that they travel with them when the students transfer to another school.

Some of the state bills proposed this year focus on exemptions from vaccine mandates in the workplace rather than at school.

For example, Texas lawmakers are considering a law that would require healthcare facilities that have vaccine mandates to honor exemptions for "reasons of conscience, including a religious belief."

Texas also introduced three other bills related to expanding or improving vaccine exemptions, according to legislative data Richardson shared with The Defender.

'Momentum is gaining to remove vaccine mandates'

Holland noted that a handful of states allow only medical exemptions, not religious exemptions. Those states are California, New York, Connecticut and Maine. "They make even legitimate medical exemptions virtually impossible to obtain."

"The good news," Holland said, "is that Idaho just became the first medical freedom state, by outlawing any medical intervention mandates that prohibit people from participating in social life based on medical status. Likely, this will be a template for other states going forward."

Idaho Gov. Brad Little signed the law almost a week after he vetoed a previous version of the bill, citing concerns it would have prohibited schools from sending home "sick students with highly contagious conditions."

The new version of the bill clarifies that schools and businesses can turn away students, employees or customers who are sick, but they cannot require a medical intervention, including a vaccine.

The new version also specified that schools cannot exclude unvaccinated children during an outbreak of a contagious disease they are not vaccinated against.

Bills that outright prohibit vaccine mandates 'much preferable'

Richardson said bills like the one passed in Idaho are part of a positive trend she and her team are seeing across recent legislative sessions, including this one.

"Momentum is gaining to remove vaccine mandates," she said, "but medical trade and pharmaceutical lobbyists are working against medical freedom and informed consent."

"This is why it is so important for people to speak with their legislators about how prohibiting vaccine mandates and requiring informed consent to vaccination without penalty for saying 'no' is very important to them," Richardson said.

Bills that outright prohibit vaccine mandates — rather than just ensuring that a person can apply for an exemption — are "much preferable" in Richardson's view because they "make vaccine exemptions not even necessary."

"As we saw with school vaccine exemptions," Richardson said, "sometimes [exemptions] can get taken away as evidenced in recent years in California, Connecticut, Maine, New York and Vermont."

'People are waking up'

NVIC's mission is to prevent vaccine injuries through public education and to advocate for informed consent protections in medical policies and public health laws.

Commenting on state legislative action since 2010, NVIC's Executive Director Theresa Wrangham said she has seen a shift toward more proposed legislation to protect informed consent and people's choice to vaccinate or not vaccinate without penalty.

When NVIC first began, Wrangham said she saw a "lot of movement to try to restrict exemptions." But overall, that's changed. "I think people are waking up …That's grassroots. That's people getting involved."

Wrangham said it's important for families to educate themselves about vaccine risks versus benefits as they make their decisions.

There is no "risk-free" option, she said. "There's just the ability to make a decision — an informed decision around what risk you're willing to take. That's really what informed consent is about. Let's make sure everybody has good information. Let's not let our fear run us."

3. Truth for Truth’s Sake


I'll tell you another pet peeve of mine—people who ask me why it is important to know the truth if I can't do anything about it.

I find it strange that people do not seek truth for truth's sake.

Sure, there are times when you really do not need to know the truth about something. How much time would you spend, and how important would it be to you, to know which dog tore up your newspaper when you have more than one dog? (Newspaper? How old am I?) Or if your mom and dad really did conceive you out of wedlock? Or if Grandpa wears briefs or boxers?

I am also not a fan of knowing things about my body from a health perspective if the only course of action would be to pump toxic chemicals into it with a 2% chance of a cure. A close female friend of mine recently let me know she was doing some new-fangled medical DNA test to determine if she has the markers for eventual Alzheimer's.

Really?

Why would anyone want to know that? You hear all of the time about tests on the market designed to determine if you have the propensity for this or that. How accurate could any of this stuff be? Let's say you owned a company that had created a pill or procedure that would prevent this or that disease. And then, you made a test that would tell a person if they had the "propensity" to develop that disease.

What a perfect setup that would be, eh?

Wow, imagine that. And none of it even needs to be true! The pill, the test, nope, not a single aspect of it. You and your company would make a fortune. Well, that isn't really knowing truth for truth's sake, is it? Nope, that there is what you call a scam. (Hmmm.)

Who knows. I'm not saying it is all a scam. But forget it, I don't want to be told I have "markers" for Alzheimer's. You can be sure if I am told that, and the chances would be 20% I would develop Alzheimer's, then I would sure as hell get it. Where if I had not been told, I would be in the 80 percentile and would not get it. Power of the mind and all that. I certainly believe in such things when it comes to my body's health.

There are also less important things that you can just leave up to mystery. But things that are important to the world, and to your own community, and your own sense of right and wrong. Those things you want to know, just for the sake of knowing. Some of these things you might be able to do something about, some of them you might not.

Sure, there are private things (like the examples I gave earlier) where insisting on knowing is tantamount to gossip. It is strange that so many people think if we want to know, say, if Fauci is lying about sand flea experiments on puppies, it is an invasion of privacy, "Leave the poor guy alone," they may moan. "You don't have to know everything about him." There really is no personal privacy for authority figures acting out their official duties. If Fauci was having lurid sexual encounters with woodchucks, then maybe we don't need to know that. But any experiments he may or may not have executed in the course of his profession is information that affects us, and we should know it.

"Why are you always looking for dark stuff?" That's another one I get all of the time. It seems these people think if the dark stuff is kept hidden it won't have any negative impact. It is sort of like letting sleeping dogs lie, or if a snake is under a rock, there is no point in disturbing the rock. Yeah, sure, leave a sleeping dog asleep, or a hiding snake hidden. These "dark things" I look for are not benign, they are actively being dark. The snake under the rock isn't dangerous until you lift the rock, the dog isn't dangerous until it is awake. The things I "look for" are things that are dangerous whether they are exposed or not—actually they are more dangerous when they are hidden because no one does anything about them while they are hidden. Do I really have to explain this? (Not to you, dear reader, I know that.)

And besides, who's looking? No one really needs to "look"—all they need to do is refrain from shutting their eyes. All that is dark that is happening in our world now is plainly in view. The details may be hidden—a little bit—but the thing that is supposed to elicit curiosity is so obvious you would have to be blind not to outright trip over it. But when I do trip and then lift the sheet covering the protruding object I tripped over, I am accused of "looking for the dark stuff."

I have been a student of New Thought for most of my adult life. This "theory of life" says you create your own reality with your thought. It does not say to ignore what that physical reality brings to you to see and contemplate. It simply says there is nothing to fear about the truth. And the truth, in the material realm, is "truth" with a small "t." The real Truth, with a capital "T," is unthreatening. It is love, the spark of life, and spirit. The material world is a game, and if you ignore the game pieces and what they are doing, you are ignoring your lesson and what you need to learn in this "illusory" game of material life. Then there is no point in it, no meaning.

To be in this game and essentially ignore it (ignore the truth) is the ultimate denial. This whole idea of rejecting truth is a ruse. It is an excuse for remaining blind. Anyone who claims truth is not worth looking for or berates someone for looking, or for even finding it, doesn't have a clue. Sure, there are times, as mentioned before, when we do not have to go digging for a fact that really can remain hidden.

Sometimes, it is indeed an invasion of privacy; sometimes, the adage "what you don't know can't hurt you" is appropriate. And there are times when finding what the system purports to be the truth (but is really a speculation) is a mistake and not useful or beneficial.

But these examples are, for the most part, rare.

They certainly are rare in this context—in this world where knowing the truth could very well save your life or, more importantly, save the whole of humanity. Even though it is a material game we are engaged in, that game has meaning to our spiritual selves. We have chosen to participate in it, and thus, we are expected to play it effectively, passionately, and truthfully.

4. Fake Contagions Make Real Survivors


When I was on Joe Rogan's podcast in early 2020, his medical people pricked my finger for a blood sample to find out if I had Covid. Or if I had had Covid. About 30 minutes later, they said I didn't have the antibodies. I asked if that meant I'd had it, been exposed to it – what does the test show? 

They said they couldn't tell if I'd been exposed because we have two levels of immune function: internal and external. They said if my external was strong enough, it would repel Covid and never get in far enough to be detected in the blood. I never had Covid – still haven't (remember, I drink out of cow troughs), and their fancy blood tests couldn't tell me whether I'd been exposed. All they said was it hasn't gotten inside. If it had, supposedly they'd be able to detect broken pieces of viruses and antibodies.

I talked yesterday with a farmer whose family for years raised 40,000 turkeys a year in the commercial industry. "We always had bird flu. Sometimes it would cycle up, and you'd lose 10 percent of the flock, but never more than that. Most of the time it just never expressed itself. Now they're checking cows to see if they have bird flu. It's like 'Wow, this is a healthy herd; let's test them for bid flu and see how many are sick.'"

We're back to the Russians: "Show me the man, and I'll show you the crime." In other words, if we want to pin something on someone, if we look hard enough, we can find some infraction and put him away. That's the way Bird flu seems to be right now. 

With the USDA now giving $50 gift cards to veterinarians for every cow they test for Bird flu, they're turning over every rock, with a fraudulent PCR test at 45 cycles, by the way, to find Bird flu detritus in healthy cows. Wild ducks and geese, the narrative says, are spreading this contagion. Folks, these wild critters have had this for years. And if you leave it alone, this thing, whatever it is trying to kill, encounters animals that adapt and morph their immunity to counteract it.

Like Dr. Zach Bush so eloquently says, this unseen world wages an ongoing fight; both sides try to outdo the other. To think that animals are defenseless against a viral bogeyman is simply to deny the magical adaptive capacity of immunological function within living things. The adaptation toward virulence happens on one side; the adaptation toward defense happens in the attacked critter. Guns, Germs and Steel verified this on a macro civilizational scale.

Our responsibility is to provide a habitat to give immunological defenses a fighting chance. That's why we start chicks on deep, composting bedding, not wire mesh or concrete. It's why we keep our animals sanitary and hygienic, not living in their poop or constantly inhaling fecal particulate to create abrasions in their tender respiratory mucous membranes. It's why we feed non-GMO feedstocks and compost-fertilized forages. It's why we move animals to a fresh spot routinely and even daily.

Killing survivors, which is the current USDA policy, is certifiably insane. But it whips the nation into a fearful frenzy, ready to buy eggs from Turkey so we won't starve to death. The conventional narrative reeks of anti-science and fraud. Sounds like Covid to me. And new Sec. of Ag. Brooke Rollins appears to be completely owned by the pharmaceutical-industrial complex. I predicted she'd be a lightweight. Turns out, she is. Owned by the drug cartel – the legal drug cartel. What a shame.

Interestingly, Brooke Rollins is the only secretary Trump didn't name Tuesday night in his joint speech to Congress. He named all the others: Marco, Bobby, Pete, Tulsi, etc. What buttons got pushed to get an industry shill in there? Hmmmmm? 

Here's my newest wish for policy: let the owners of the poultry determine their treatment. Right now, government agents with guns can come onto any farm without a warrant and kill all your chickens. We're back to mandated Covid jabs. Same playbook. Same boat crossing the same river. What if I have a chicken that tests positive for Bird flu? What if I say, "No, don't kill the survivors. Let it run its course; I'll absorb the cost and risk of how many it gets, thank you very much. Nobody has to pay me for anything. Now leave."

At least that would give those of us who have chickens some freedom of treatment. Anybody for informed consent? The two words go hand in hand – informed and consent. It doesn't do any good to be informed but not have consent. I think before government agents kill my healthy chickens, I should be able to consent to their prescription.

Agree?

5. Binance Advising Multiple Governments On Strategic Bitcoin Reserve


Binance CEO Richard Teng reveals multiple governments seeking guidance on bitcoin and crypto following U.S. strategic stockpile initiative.

Financial Times reports that bitcoin and crypto exchange Binance is advising several countries on creating their own bitcoin and crypto regulations and establishing national strategic bitcoin reserves.

Binance CEO Richard Teng revealed that multiple governments seek the exchange's guidance on establishing strategic bitcoin reserves and crafting digital asset policies following recent U.S. moves toward creating a national bitcoin stockpile.

"We have actually received quite a number of approaches by a few governments and sovereign wealth funds on the establishment of their own crypto reserves," Teng said in an interview with the Financial Times. While declining to name specific countries, he noted that the United States is "way ahead" in developing strategic bitcoin frameworks.

The development comes as nations worldwide reassess their approach to Bitcoin following former U.S. President Donald Trump's executive order to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve using confiscated assets from criminal and civil proceedings.

Teng, who assumed leadership of Binance after founder Changpeng Zhao stepped down, said that many countries have approached Binance to "[help] them with formulating their regulatory framework to govern crypto."

The exchange's advisory role significantly evolves its relationship with regulators. Previously known for its "no headquarters" approach, Binance is considering establishing a global base as it takes on a more formal role in shaping national bitcoin and crypto policies.

Countries like Pakistan and Kyrgyzstan have already partnered with Binance on crypto regulation, though neither has officially announced plans for bitcoin reserves. The exchange's expanding influence in policy formation reflects the growing acceptance of Bitcoin as a potential strategic asset by sovereign entities.

Market observers note this development could signal a broader shift in how governments view bitcoin and crypto.

The advisory initiative comes as Binance works to reshape its image following recent regulatory challenges. The exchange has strengthened its compliance frameworks and proactively engaged with regulators worldwide.

The trend toward national bitcoin reserves could significantly affect the bitcoin's global adoption and price stability. As more countries consider holding bitcoin as a strategic asset, the market may see reduced volatility and increased institutional participation.

Binance's role in advising governments marks a new chapter in the bitcoin and crypto industry's maturation as these assets increasingly become part of national strategic planning. The development suggests a potential shift in how countries approach monetary sovereignty in the digital age.

7. Vaccines, Autism, and Brownstone


It feels almost dangerous putting those three words in the title of an article. An easier path is not to raise the topic. It means getting Brownstone Institute tagged, targeted, and cancelled. 

That's how much taboo there is around this subject, which is itself deeply strange. If science is simply a matter of evidence and causal inference, it should be fearless and not doctrinaire. It should go where evidence leads. 

At the founding of Brownstone Institute, multiple people worried that this institution would eventually be taken over by "anti-vaxxers." For my part, I could not understand this fear. I had never heard of such people and could not imagine becoming such a thing. 

My views on this topic were as conventional as anyone's. How could Brownstone be taken over by something of which I had never heard? What is this mysterious power of this dark force out there? 

To be sure, I never once believed the Covid shot would result in public health benefits, but that is because I read books in Virology 101: a fast-spreading, fast-mutating respiratory infection with a zoonotic reservoir will always outwit any conceivable shot called a vaccine. If such a thing did miraculously come into existence, it would be a decade in the testing. 

That was conventional wisdom a few generations ago, but so was the functioning of natural immunity via exposure. 

It was research into the history of Covid controls that brought a shift toward awareness. It gradually dawned on me, and pretty much everyone associated with Brownstone, that the whole thinking behind lockdowns (and closures, censorship, and compliance protocols) was indeed to prepare the public for the shots, the military countermeasures marketed as vaccines, even though they stopped neither infection nor transmission. 

If that shocks you, you haven't been following the mountains of evidence that finally piled up against my long-running assumption that this was just mistaken judgment rooted in epidemiologic fallacy. The apparent goal was maximum uptake through any means possible: social isolation, forced face covering, fear propaganda, and finally mandates enforced by penalty of unemployment, professional disgrace, and poverty. 

In passing, I truly had no excuse not to know this, since this is precisely what I was told by the very man who claims to be the inventor of lockdowns, a person who now runs a vaccine company. He specifically said to me in April 2020 that the whole purpose of the lockdown was to wait for the shot. I didn't believe him, hung up, and forgot about the call. He was of course telling me the whole plan. 

It's astonishing to consider the power of an industry that could prevail on nearly all governments in the world to destroy their economies and violate citizens' rights at once and then force an experimental product on billions. That's more power than the East India Company ever had, certainly, and probably more than even the most well-heeled munitions manufacturer. That's capture of the ultimate sort, with an agenda so rotten that it should hardly surprise anyone that the public has lost trust. 

An industry this powerful can also keep itself off the list of possible agents of harm in any investigations concerning chronic disease. It devotes vast resources to this purpose: that's the whole point of pharmaceutical advertising, not just to sell products but to keep the media quiet. 

That is a serious source of worry right now. Can we get to the truth?

Avoiding the topic of vaccines, then, was never a viable path for an institute founded to address the interaction of public health and freedom generally. Inevitably, the fallout from these egregious years has shone a public spotlight on vaccines, the subsidized and protected industry, its power, and thus urge some measure of accountability. That inquiry eventually must address vaccine harms, which have been high even from the data we have, though we know for sure that the harms are underreported. 

Here, the topic of autism is also unavoidable, if only as an expression of public skepticism of the medical establishment, simultaneous with vast vaccine harms and an epidemic of autism spectrum disorders. And Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., together with his extraordinary team, has sworn to get to the bottom of it quickly. 

A new report from the CDC lists some seriously alarming numbers on the rise of autism." Among children aged 8 years in 2022, ASD prevalence was 32.2 per 1,000 children (one in 31)," writes the report. It leaves little room to believe that this 16% rise in two years (32,000% since 1970) is an artifact of better diagnostics and otherwise due to testing contingencies. 

There is a cause, and it is likely exogenous. There are many possible candidates, but there is a growing and burgeoning sense – though never reported or speculated on in legacy media – that it is related to vaccines and some feature of the incredible cocktail listed in the childhood schedule to which the Covid-19 shot has been added. 

RFK explains more here. In any case, it is an obvious candidate for investigation, despite ubiquitous warnings never to go there. For his own part, RFK does not breathe the V-word in public. The shots are included in the category of environmental causes.

Far from being a genetic condition, research has also shown a high percentage of autistic children showing notable onset of behavioral changes: "Declining trajectories of development, consistent with a regressive onset pattern, are common in children with ASD and may be more the rule than the exception." 

In English, that means parents or caretakers are aware when their child moves quickly from normal to broken upon exposure to…something. This is hardly a secret: CHD records countless anecdotes. 

Could it be the V word? That is part of what is on the table for investigation. 

Remember that the makers of these shots are not fiduciarily liable for any harms done to those who receive them. That makes these products unique in the marketplace. This change happened in 1986, before which time the schedule required 5 shots by age 2 for 7 diseases. Today, this is up to 27 shots by age 2 and approximately 50–73 shots or more by age 18, covering 17 diseases. There is a constant push on to add ever more shots. 

After so many decades of silence and a near ban on any and all speculation in media and research in academia, the dam seems to have broken all at once. The National Institutes of Health is working on teams of researchers in academia and private nonprofits to study this in detail, and come up with some plausible answers as soon as September. 

This is just the beginning. There will be years ahead to flesh all this out and examine the causes, and make adjustments. Vaccines are not off the table as causal agents. Whatever the results of the studies, you will need to read them yourself because the legacy media has every financial incentive not to report them accurately. 

Brownstone as an institution is in no position to make any firm judgments. But we have been fortunate to support researchers who have long explored this relationship. Among them is Toby Rogers. His dissertation, The Political Economy of Autism, has been downloaded more than 92,000 times. Though his thesis is rather shocking – autism is potentially bankrupting of the social order, and the shot schedule is the most plausible explanation – it has never been picked apart or otherwise refuted by anyone associated with the pharmaceutical industry. 

Because of the dearth of publishers willing to go there, Brownstone is stepping up to make a version of this book available in accessible form. If it is wrong, the author wants to know. If it is right, we need to know that too. That same can be said of all investigations into this important topic. If the industry is actually responsible, even to a minor degree, in causing such harm and yet is immune from any legal liability, that is a serious problem. 

On a personal note on this – and most people have some story that involves friends and loved ones – my own beloved nephew is autistic and requires continued care. My brother, Professor Robert Lee Tucker (two PhDs, arts and business) has written a moving chronicle of his son's life that bears reading: Like a Crown: Adventures in Autism. The latest interest in this topic from HHS and NIH has inspired him to begin his own nonprofit to study the topic. 

In addition to causal agents, Tucker's interest is in the pressing issue of care and making a better life for victims. As RFK pointed out in his press conference, there are no homes for these people and precious little in the way of public resources at all. It is nearly impossible for autistic kids and adults to get jobs due to the minimum wage that prices their services out of the market. I know this from personal experience in my own life when valued co-workers were squeezed out of the market due to constant increases in the legal pay floor. 

Trust is all but gone in this post-lockdown period, and public opinion has shifted dramatically and will continue to do so. Government investigators are lagging behind the public mind at this point, as is usually the case. That said, the people in positions of authority to redirect research dollars and medical priorities to this topic deserve congratulations. They are taking huge risks to their careers and reputations.

8. What’s the Obsession with Getting Us to Eat Food that Isn’t Real Food?


This latest video is about the move to make all of our future food in a lab and asking the question "What is the seemingly pathological obsession with getting us to eat things that aren't actually real food even a little bit, even at all?"

Our food is already adulterated in so many ways with chemicals and oils our bodies don't and can't appreciate. Allergies are more common today than at any time in modern human history. So are auto-immune disorders and cancers of all kinds. We've heard so many people say they don't know what to eat anymore.

As it's all coming to a head, now there's a move to make every kind of meat and even milk and ice cream and chocolate all in a petri dish in a lab somewhere.

How's that going to go down, both literally and figuratively? Are people really going to be able to eat this stuff and still be healthy afterward when many of us aren't doing that well now?

Talk about the Matrix. Tasty Wheat, anyone?

9. “Israel Has A Right To Defend Itself” Is A Genocidal Slogan


Bernie Sanders has been repeatedly uttering the phrase "Israel has a right to defend itself" on his "Fighting Oligarchy" tour with Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, which in the year 2025 can only be interpreted as blatant genocide apologia. 


Bernie Sanders has been repeatedly uttering the phrase "Israel has a right to defend itself" on his "Fighting Oligarchy" tour with Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, which in the year 2025 can only be interpreted as blatant genocide apologia. 

Israel does not have "a right to defend itself" against an occupied population in a giant concentration camp. Under international law it has a right to end the occupation, and that's it. "Israel has a right to defend itself" is just a slogan people say when they want to justify supplying an ongoing genocide.

At one point in the tour Sanders stood passively watching as police dragged off rally attendees who draped a Free Palestine flag over the US flag during his speech. He just awkwardly continued monologuing as their flag was confiscated and they were forcibly removed, even as the crowd booed and eventually began chanting "Free Palestine".

Sanders has been mixing his support for Israel in with periodic criticisms of Netanyahu and the Israeli government's actions in Gaza, always taking care to make his criticisms about the behavior of Israel's current leadership and not the nature of the racist apartheid state itself.

Sanders is doing this for two reasons. Firstly, he is working to galvanize a big tent inclusive coalition of Democrats in opposition to Trump, and he wants that big tent to include people who think genocide is bad and people who think genocide is fine. He doesn't want to offend the pro-genocide liberals.

Secondly, Sanders is doing this because he himself is a Zionist. Like other liberal Zionists, Bernie Sanders upholds a vision of an Israel that has never, ever existed: one which remains an ethnostate dominated by Jews, but which conducts itself in a kind and just manner, without constantly murdering and abusing Palestinians. 

This iteration of the state of Israel is a fiction. An imaginary fantasyland, like Narnia. Everything about Israel is stacked against the possibility of such a status quo ever emerging, and Israel has always done everything it can to prevent the creation of a Palestinian state. By pretending it is possible to have the Zionist entity and also have peace and justice, liberal Zionists help manufacture public consent for continuing to feed weapons to the genocidal apartheid state of Israel.

https://twitter.com/zei_squirrel/status/1911961520595927059


When liberal Zionists want to support Israel's actions, they talk about Israel as a nation, e.g. "Israel has a right to defend itself". When liberal Zionists want to criticize Israel's actions, they make it all about Netanyahu, e.g. "Netanyahu's war machine."

The framing is that when Israel deserves our sympathy it's a collective, but when Israel is naughty the responsibility lies solely at the feet of one bad apple. This ensures that the weapons can keep flowing to Israel (because Israel as a whole is virtuous and worthy of support) while the liberal Zionist still gets to wear their progressive humanitarian clothing (because they wagged their fingers at Netanyahu).

And it's just a complete and utter lie. Netanyahu didn't create Israel's genocidal tendencies, Israel's genocidal tendencies created Netanyahu. His entire political career has been made possible by Israel's collective racism and psychopathy upon which he rode into office.

This is nothing other than the classic Obama-style tactic of using attractive progressivish language to advance the most destructive agendas of the US empire. 

In other words, it's Democrats being Democrats.

10. Corporate Bitcoin Holdings Hit Record High in Q1 2025 as Public Companies Accelerate Accumulation


Bitwise reports a 16.11% quarter-over-quarter surge in Bitcoin holdings among public companies, fueled by regulatory changes and bold moves from Strategy, Semler Scientific, and GameStop.

This corporate treasure trove is valued at over $57 billion, based on a Bitcoin price of $82,445, reflecting a 2.15% increase in total value from the previous quarter. The number of public companies with Bitcoin on their balance sheets has also grown to 79, a 17.91% quarterly increase, with 12 new companies joining the list.

Bitwise attributes the uptick in adoption to several key developments, most notably the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) rule allowing companies to report Bitcoin at fair market value. This accounting shift has eliminated a major friction point for CFOs and boards, paving the way for more companies to easily adopt BTC as a reserve asset.

MicroStrategy—now rebranded as Strategy—continues to lead the charge, purchasing $7.7 billion worth of Bitcoin in Q1 and increasing its total holdings to 531,644 BTC after an additional buy of 3,459 BTC worth $285.8 million earlier this week.

Other notable top Bitcoin holders include MARA Holdings (47,531 BTC), Riot Platforms (19,223 BTC), CleanSpark (11,869 BTC), and Tesla (11,509 BTC).

Japanese firm Metaplanet announced plans to acquire 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025, while Semler Scientific added 1,100+ BTC to its balance sheet and filed this week to raise $500 million to buy more. "We have reached a settlement in principle, EXCITED TO BUY MORE BTC!" posted Chairman Eric Semler on X. In a recent interview with Bitcoin Magazine, he added: "We own a lot of #Bitcoin and that Bitcoin appreciates. What matters most is that we create shareholder value… We're early in accumulating Bitcoin, and we're gonna continue to do that."

Meanwhile, GameStop is holding $1.5 billion in newly raised funds under the codename Project Rocket to invest in Bitcoin, adding to its $4.75 billion cash reserves. Though they have yet to deploy the funds, their participation may further fuel corporate demand in coming quarters.

With 95,431 BTC purchased in Q1 alone, the report suggests this momentum is only building.
