“What if we couldn’t live in L.A, where would we live? We both decided, I think it’s Palm Desert (California). … It’s so safe,” Hawn told Ripa of herself and Kurt Russell, her longtime boyfriend of four decades.

Pepe Escobar: The Three Key Messages From St. Petersburg to the Global Majority
In the year of the Russian presidency of BRICS, the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) had to deliver something special.
And deliver it did: over 21,000 people representing no less than 139 nations – a true microcosm of the Global Majority, discussing every facet of the drive towards a multipolar, multinodal (italics mine), polycentric world.
St. Petersburg, beyond all the networking and the frantic deal-making – $78 billion-worth clinched in only three days – crafted three intertwined key messages already resonating all across the Global Majority.

“It’s a huge deal! My first thought on this is; it tells me Russia/BRICS are ready to release their new currency. If they were not ready for this, Russia would never cut themselves off from the financial “West”. I believe this is a clear sign! On the “coincidental” side, the 50yr agreement between the US and Saudi Arabia just expired, did this have anything to do with the timing?”

Saudi Arabia’s petro-dollar exit: A global finance paradigm shift
The financial world is bracing for a significant upheaval following Saudi Arabia’s decision not to renew its 50-year petro-dollar deal with the United States, which expired on Sunday, 9 June, 2024.
The lapsed security agreement – signed by the United States and Saudi Arabia on 8 June 1974 – establishes two joint commissions, one on economic co-operation and the other on Saudi Arabia’s military needs, and was said to have heralded an era of increasingly close co-operation between the two countries.
American officials at the time expressed optimism that the deal would motivate Saudi Arabia to ramp up its oil production. They also envisioned it as a blueprint for fostering economic collaboration between Washington and other Arab countries.

Why be self reliant?
It’s been a bit – my apologies. Springs are pretty slammed.
I was listening to Tucker Carlson interview Thomas Massie of KY the other day. Something caught my attention that led me to write this.
He mentioned in so many words that since he lives such a high level, self reliant existence, he’s not afraid of what the powers that be in the swamp can do to him.
Voilà- that’s it in a nutshell.
We live in good places or strive to; we have good water supply; we have sustainable fuel sources; we have long term food storage; we have sustainable fresh food supplies from gardens, orchards, bramble patches and livestock; we have tools that work all the time; we have sustainable power and are capable of doing fine without power; we have defendable homesteads and means to defend it; we have medicine, first aid skills and supplies, we can take care of ourselves.
So – what’s the ah-hah moment here?
When we live our lives like this, in the bosom of God’s bounty, we are impervious to bureaucrats and their ilk. What can anyone do to us? No matter if the power goes out, the stock “not a market” crashes, banks fail, China invades Taiwan, etc etc. our way of life barely feels a ripple.
To me that is the goal. None of us are probably there yet but what a magnificent goal to strive for. God has given us what we need. We only need to cultivate it and set priorities.
Keep up the good work. Yes, the eye on the prize is a life in union with God and we can live that life in a self-reliant way, one step at a time. Then we can share our knowledge and blessings with the ones we choose and filter out the garbage in our lives that is not productive or positive.
God bless. Keep making positive steps forward in areas of need.

Lindsey Graham Admits U.S. Must Take Over Ukraine to Control Its Resources Worth TRILLIONS
Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) gave away the neocon playbook Sunday, admitting that the U.S. must win the Ukraine proxy war against Russia to control Ukraine’s vast resources worth trillions of dollars.
“They’re sitting on 10-12 trillion dollars of critical minerals in Ukraine. They could be the richest country in all of Europe,” Graham said on CBS News’ “Face the Nation.”
“I don’t want to give that money and those assets to [Russian President Vladimir] Putin to share with China.”

$7.6 trillion of publicly held U.S. government debt matures in next 12 months. What does the Treasury do next?
Close to a third of all publicly-held, outstanding U.S. government debt is set to mature in the next 12 months, raising questions about where Treasury might go from there to finance the government’s borrowing needs.
A total of $7.6 trillion will mature in the next year, approaching the level seen in early 2021, according to a chart provided by Torsten Slok, the New York-based chief economist at asset management firm Apollo. In an online post, Slok said that’s been a source of upward pressure on rates, though strategists countered by saying such a statement is hard to prove.

“We should not forget, they are a minority – the Collective West… their worldview is shared by no one except for them,” she said, citing memorandums adopted by multinational blocs as the Russian-led BRICS group, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, African Union, and others, in which member states commit to forming a multipolar world order.
“The SCO… covers 3 billion people – half of humanity… BRICS covers over 30% of the Earth’s land mass, 45% of the world population – some 3.5 billion people, and 33% of global GDP… 3% more than the GDP of the G7,” she stated.
Western hegemony is over – Moscow
The concepts of hegemony and global dominance, which the Collective West clings to, have no place in the multipolar world order – which is already becoming a reality, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Saturday.
Speaking at a panel discussion on new norms of international relations at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), Zakharova slammed Western governments for resisting the structural changes which have already started with regard to the self-organization of nations and their interactions with other states.

New Texas GOP Platform Calls For Secession Vote, Resistance To Federal Infringements
Reflecting plummeting patience with overstepping federal overlords, the Texas Republican Party has adopted two platform planks that call for legislators to assert state sovereignty, and to schedule a secession referendum in the next general election after November’s.
“This historic vote at the 2024 Republican Party of Texas Convention represents a substantial shift towards enhancing state sovereignty and exploring the potential for Texas to operate as an independent nation,” said the Texas Nationalist Movement (TNM) in a statement. “It reflects the growing sentiment among Texans for greater autonomy and the protection of our rights against federal overreach.”

ANALYSIS: What 9th Circuit Ruling Reinstating Challenge to LAUSD’s Employee Vaccine Mandate Means
In a split decision, a three-judge panel from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a ruling Friday afternoon reversing the dismissal of a lawsuit filed by Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) employees challenging the district’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate. The suit was remanded back to the District Court level, where it will proceed toward trial.
There are some pretty big takeaways from this ruling that could lead to ripple effects in other lawsuits, especially if the evidence at trial bears out what is in the pleadings and the court or a jury finds that evidence persuasive.

Inside The Most Ridiculous Jobs Report In Years
On the surface, it was a blockbuster jobs report, certainly one which nobody expected, with the two largest US banks – JPMorgan and Goldman – both expecting a below-consensus print at 150K and 165K, respectively (well we did, and we said that the jobs print “will beat” shortly before it was published).
The Silent Insurrection: General Milley’s Hand on January 6
In the days and weeks leading up to January 6, the nation’s highest-ranking military officer, then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley, was moving in lockstep with the political anxieties of top Democratic leaders.
These Democrats grew anxious as over 140 House Republicans planned to contest the election results during the electoral college certification that day. Milley was then deeply engaged with a circle of confidants including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, former Obama National Security Advisor Susan Rice, and former Defense Secretary Robert Gates, among others—all of whom shared a unified disdain for President Donald Trump.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Is Making Enemies in All The Right Places
Fresh off a big win at the U.S. Supreme Court on May 16, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is wasting no time in its heady pursuit of financial bad actors preying on the little guy.
On Monday, the federal agency announced it was creating a public registry to help law enforcement, investors and the public check the history of repeat offenders in finance. The CFPB already offers consumers who have been victimized by a financial firm the ability to file a public complaint with the CFPB. The agency then quickly demands a written response from the alleged wrongdoer. Repeat offenders dislike the fact that these complaints go into a permanent database at the CFPB, which can be mined by the public, reporters, attorneys and prosecutors looking for patterns of fraud.

Anti-Trump crossdressing man smashes car into county jail before hurling snakes and shouting ‘the devil told me to kill everyone’
A homeless man wearing women’s clothes intentionally rammed his car into the side of a county jail in Florida Monday night, before reportedly embarking on a rant about Donald Trump.
Joseph Leedy, 40, stands accused of four counts of aggravated assault on an officer and one count of criminal mischief resulting in damage of more than $1,000 as a result – as a series of photos show the damage he caused.
Surveillance footage show the suspect driving from the Martin County Jail parking lot, up the walkway, and through it glass lobby doors. He was stopped by a set of steel security doors further inside.
