It Is Really Happening: The Numbers Show That U.S. Exports And U.S. Imports Are Both Collapsing Dramatically

Over the last several decades, the global economy has become more interconnected than ever

by Michael , theeconomiccollapseblog.com

Over the last several decades, the global economy has become more interconnected than ever, but now everything is changing. The flow of goods between the number one economic power on the planet and the number two economic power on the planet is absolutely imploding, and that is going to have enormous implications on both sides of the Pacific.

By Dan Coats

The Non-Aggression Principle is an axiom which states that all aggression is illegitimate.

It has been stated in many ways over the years, especially with the rise of 19th century classical liberalism, market capitalism, individual human rights, and limited government. John Locke formulated it as, “Being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions.” Murray Rothbard in his essay War, Peace, and the State put it this way…

by Tyler Durden

Though aerial fighting between the nuclear-armed rivals does not appear to be sustained and ongoing at this point, Pakistan has closed its airspace for nearly all flights on Wednesday, in the aftermath of the Indian cross-border strikes which killed at least 26 people – including a 3-year-old girl – and wounded at least 46 other people, Pakistani authorities say based on the latest revised death toll. International carriers have also canceled flights to the region, and access to social media, including X, was temporarily blocked in Pakistan amid the assault. Heavy shelling is being reported along the Line of Control (LOC) separating the historic enemy nations…

Trump Fires National Security Advisor Mike Waltz After ‘Plotting with Israel’

Reports indicate that Mike Waltz, who was Trump’s national security advisor, was fired due to two Signal message scandals

by James Li, DailyMail and Star Tribune

Reports indicate that Mike Waltz, who was Trump’s national security advisor, was fired due to two Signal message scandals, and for upsetting Trump after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in early February. During the meeting, Waltz appeared to share the Israeli leader’s conviction that the time was ripe to strike Iran. The view by some in the administration was that Waltz was trying to tip the scales in favor of military action and was operating hand in glove with the Israelis. A Trump adviser said, “You can’t do that. You work for the president of your country, not a president of another country.” Journalist James Li says this is treason…
