What happens when a financial crash expert connects the dots between military escalation and the collapse of your food supply? In this video, our financial crash expert breaks down the real economic earthquake behind the US-Israel-Iran war and why food prices rising is just the beginning.

✅ How the iran war 2026 is already pushing oil price spike beyond what markets can handle
✅ Why a full-scale iran nuclear war could crash global energy markets overnight triggering food supply collapse within 90 days
✅ The truth behind trump war iran escalation and why ordinary people will pay the price at the grocery store
✅ How the global food crisis is being accelerated by dollar instability and unchecked military spending
✅ What the US, China & Russia are really fighting over and how it ends your access to affordable food
✅ Iran's nuclear capability decoded and what it means for Middle East alliances and global supply chains
✅ The hidden link between energy market crashes and the fastest-moving famine the modern world has ever seen

Questions this video answers:
➡ Is the Iran war already causing food shortages?
➡ How will rising oil prices lead to famine?

Twenty dollars, same as in town.

 

Amid a worsening flu outbreak at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, the U.S. Air Force, Army and Navy are once again requiring new recruits to get vaccinated against the influenza virus, according to ABC News. The move comes two months after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth rescinded the U.S. military’s mandate that they do so.

As of June 23, 2026, at least 222 recruits on the base have fallen ill and four have reportedly been hospitalized.

In his April 21 announcement making the flu vaccine optional, Hegseth cited medical autonomy and religious freedom, describing the vaccination requirement as “overly broad and not rational,” telling troops that “your body, your faith and your convictions are not negotiable.”

The flu shot requirement that Hegseth ended had been in place since 1945, with one brief pause in 1949. It was part of a tradition of military vaccine mandates nearly as old as the United States itself.

It’s not so easy. Usually the job is to convince the wealthy to fund your political career over decades, but Trump’s fame & fortune and his pitch to be different from the usual politicians allowed him to cut the line.

Sure, but cyanobacteria are still the terraformation GOAT.

That is not what is happening; it’s what our governments, our corporate media, and our NGOs (which are funded by our governments and our corporations) have been telling us is happening. It’s hasbara bullshit to manufacture our consent for Euro-American settler colonialism and ethnic cleansing.

You may consider us gatekeepers and leeches, but we prefer the term housing provider.

You think I’m joking?

I am not joking.

Imperialism and anti-imperialism are exactly the same. You fool; you absolute buffoon.

Liberals’ thought-terminating cliché for everything.
Yes, two things can be true, but so can one or the other thing or no things, so you haven’t actually said anything.

Those weren’t passed by voting Blue no matter who, but by organizing, unionizing, striking, protesting, and threatening revolt.

Power concedes nothing without a demand. If you don’t threaten politicians’ careers, they will ignore your pleas.

Unless of course you have the capital to buy favor, which capitalists have and do.

Schoolhouse Rock and The West Wing have endumbened us all.

 

In honor of the contributions made by Church and McCarthy, I wrote this project and the accompanying article to show how anyone can write a tiny Lisp interpreter in a few lines of C or in any "C-like" programming language for that matter. I attempted to preserve the original meaning and flavor of Lisp as much as possible. As a result, the C code in this project is strongly Lisp-like in compact form. Despite being small, these tiny Lisp interpreters in C include 21 built-in Lisp primitives, simple garbage collection and REPL, which makes them a bit more practical than a toy example. If desired, more Lisp features can be easily added with a few more lines of C as explained in my article with examples that are ready for you to try.

There is more: two sequels to tinylisp

In addition to tinylisp, I've written two other small classic Lisp implementations that share similarities with tinylisp, but expanded to include over 40 built-in Lisp primitives, strings, macros, exceptions, execution tracing, file loading, and a REPL:

  • Lisp in 1k lines of C with garbage collector, explained uses mark-sweep/compacting garbage collection. Unlike tinylisp however, a separate pool of free cons pair cells is used to construct lists. The garbage collector frees up space in the pool using mark-sweep. Space is freed up in the atom/string heap by compacting the heap after mark-sweep using pointer reversal.
  • Lisp in 1k lines of C with Cheney's copying garbage collector, explained uses Cheney's copying garbage collector. Like tinylisp, a stack is used to efficiently construct lists, i.e. by pushing two cells at a time on the stack to allocate cons pairs. Heap allocation simply pushes atom/string space up from the bottom of the heap (towards the stack). The garbage collector frees up stack and heap space by copying the active cons pair cells, atoms and strings to a new stack/heap.
 

It turns out yesterday’s mass strikes on Moscow which were meant to coincide with the Euro Council meeting were pure Hollywood spectacle: the drones themselves were stuffed full of kerosene mixtures in the way Hollywood stages car explosions to look more “dramatic” by producing thick plumes of oily smoke.

In the video below, a shot-down drone can be seen jettisoning its special FX package.

It now makes perfect sense how Ukraine was able to fabricate such an eye-catching mise-en-scene, as each downed drone managed to pockmark the horizon with its own PR-ready plume:

The actual damage to the refinery itself turned out to be disappointing, as only a few oil storage tanks were actually destroyed.

In fact, much of Ukraine’s recent narratives have been rapidly falling apart. The Crimean “isolation” turned out to be a total bust, as even top Ukrainian accounts have outlined the steps Russia swiftly took to reverse any issues Ukrainian drone attacks have managed to temporarily cause.

For nearly four decades, the events surrounding Tiananmen Square have remained one of the most controversial and misunderstood episodes in modern Chinese history.

In this episode, Carl Zha joins Jamarl Thomas to provide a firsthand Chinese perspective on the 1989 protest movement, drawing on his own experience as a teenager living on a university campus during the events.

The discussion explores the economic turmoil of China's reform era, the inflation crisis of the late 1980s, official corruption, the evolution of the student movement, and the political divisions inside China's leadership that culminated in the June 4 crackdown.

They also examine the famous Tank Man footage, the role of student leaders, allegations of foreign involvement, and how the events are remembered differently inside and outside China.

Rather than repeating familiar narratives, this conversation focuses on historical context, competing interpretations, and the complexities often missing from mainstream discussions.

Topics Covered

  • China's transition from a planned economy to market reforms
  • Inflation and corruption in the late 1980s
  • The Hukou system and urban-rural inequality
  • Why the protests initially gained widespread public support
  • The shift from reform demands to political confrontation
  • Internal divisions within China's leadership
  • The military intervention of June 3–4, 1989
  • What happened outside Tiananmen Square
  • The famous Tank Man footage and its full context
  • Student leadership and controversial statements by Chai Ling
  • Operation Yellowbird and the evacuation of protest leaders
  • Deng Xiaoping's interpretation of the crisis
  • Competing narratives about Tiananmen today

Key Takeaways

  • The protests began amid widespread public frustration over inflation and official corruption.
  • Economic reforms dramatically improved agricultural productivity but also created major social tensions.
  • The movement evolved significantly between April and June 1989.
  • Much of the violence occurred on routes leading into central Beijing rather than inside the square itself.
  • Historical interpretations of Tiananmen remain deeply contested both within China and internationally.
  • Understanding the events requires examining economic, political, and social factors rather than relying on simplistic narratives.

Memorable Moments

  • "The demands started with inflation and corruption. By late May, the rhetoric had changed dramatically."
  • "The Tank Man footage most people know is only part of the story."
  • "History becomes much more complicated when you look beyond slogans."
 

Elon Musk wants a SpaceX IPO valuing the company at upwards of $1.75 trillion.

To get there, he got the rules changed so that index funds, with millions of Americans' retirement savings, are forced to buy in.

Retirees could take huge losses, while insiders cash out.
