This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog. I am so tired of hearing that “everything is fine” when everything is most certainly not fine. Every day, I hear from people who are really suffering in this harsh economic environment. Some can’t find work, others are stressed out of their minds because they can’t make ends meet, and there are some who are even on the verge of losing everything. Because they are constantly being told that the economy is in good shape, many of them have been convinced that the suffering that they are…

Sitting on a roadside boulder in the Australian Outback, I scraped the last beans from the bottom of a can. Then it was back to work. With the aid of a fading headlamp, I continued fleshing a massive camel cape draped across my lap. Once I got to the lips, I realized the task was far greater than caping a moose. Then it started to rain. I slid the cape under the Ute and crawled into my swag. The sleeping bag inside a bivy…

As America faces growing competition in the space domain, it’s time to strengthen — not dismantle — one of its most proven space war-fighting tools. The creation of the U.S. Space Force in 2019 was a historic shift in national defense. But it remains incomplete without an essential piece: a Space National Guard.Today, more than 1,000 Air National Guard members across several states are executing critical space missions — missile warning, satellite command and control, space domain awareness, defensive cyber operations and expeditionary space electromagnetic warfare. These units represent nearly one-third of the Space Force’s operational squadrons and are already…
This article was originally published by Ramon Tomey at Natural News. Pakistani authorities disabled national IDs and passports of thousands linked to 2023 political unrest, using geofencing to track protesters, highlighting the rise of digital surveillance. The crackdown followed violent protests after former PM Imran Khan’s arrest, with NADRA blacklisting over 5,500 individuals via mobile data near protest sites, crippling their access to essential services.

As Florida moves forward with plans to reinstate a regulated black bear hunt for the first time since 2015, opponents of the hunt from around the world are mobilizing an unconventional tactic — applying for the lottery hunt en masse. If these anti-hunters draw a tag, they’ll hold onto it, effectively preventing a legal, well-intended bear hunter from drawing. Their goal is to flood the lottery and, theoretically, reduce the number of bears harvested. “Never in my life did I think I’d be a…
The event was billed as nonpartisan, but the Washington gathering featured numerous signs and protests against President Donald Trump, VA Secretary Doug Collins and billionaire Elon Musk, accusing them of betraying the country’s promises to troops. RELATED“Are you tired of being thanked for our service in the public and stabbed in our back in private?” Army veteran Everett Kelly, national president of the American Federation of Government Employees, asked the crowd assembled just a few blocks from the White House. “For years, politicians on both sides of the aisle have campaigned on their support of veterans, but once they get…
