More than 3,500 Jobs in Manufacturing and Supply Chain Sectors Cut in Past Two Weeks

Noi Mahoney, writing for the trade publication "FreightWaves" has reported that 3,500 job cuts have been announced since April 30th, just two weeks ago, in freight-related jobs. And while Wall Street has surged this week based on the alleged China - USA trade agreement from last weekend, those daring to oppose the majority are issuing dire warnings. Meanwhile, the massacre and ethnic cleansing continues in Gaza as more children died today from Israeli bombs. Here's today's news headlines posted on our Telegram Channel, including a reminder on just how powerful music therapy can be, where some nursing homes practicing music therapy have seen a 50% drop in using psych drugs to treat dementia.

Is Trump Pivoting in his Middle East Policy? New $142 Billion Arms Deal to Saudi Arabia Announced – “Largest in History”

President Donald Trump and his entourage arrived in Saudi Arabia today for an economic summit that included many American CEOs, such as Elon Musk, OpenAI’s Sam Altman, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, IBM’s Arvind Krishna, Citicorp’s Jane Fraser, Boeing’s Kelly Ortberg, NVIDIA’s Jensen Huang, Palantir’s Alex Karp and BlackRock’s Larry Fink. As a precondition to letting Trump and these American CEOs attend this conference, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman made it clear that any discussion about normalizing relationships between Saudi Arabia and Israel, was OFF LIMITS. It looks like the Abraham Accords proposal is now dead in the water. Trump seemingly obliged to these conditions, and did not even include Israel on this trip. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth was scheduled to visit Israel just before this trip, but ended up canceling it at the last minute. There are a lot of issues and news stories resulting from this trip, but to me, the biggest news story is that Trump has reportedly agreed to sell Saudi Arabia an arms package worth $142 billion, "the largest defense cooperation agreement in history." By comparison, Trump approved military sales to Israel last month amounting to $12 billion. Wow! That takes military spending to a whole new level! And I thought Trump's tariffs were going to fund tax cuts for Americans?! So does this mean the U.S. is abandoning Israel now? I hardly think so.

Is there Really a New Tariff Deal Between the U.S. and China? Or was this a Show to Boost Stock Market Value?

News headlines today on an alleged U.S. - China trade agreement sent the Stock Market soaring today. I found it rather curious that even though the trade agreement was reportedly finalized early yesterday (Sunday, May 11th), that both the U.S. and China stated that they would not release a joint statement until the next day, Monday (today). Was it because they wanted their announcement to specifically have a positive impact on world stock markets? Was that part of the agreement? The English language China news outlets did not even comment on the agreement until almost midnight in China today, coinciding with the opening of the U.S. stock markets. But just taking China and the U.S.'s statements today at face value, there are still 30% tariffs on goods imported from China! And yet investors are acting as if the trade war is over. "Talk" is cheap, and anyone can say anything. But the proof of what is actually happening in the real world, lies in the traffic to U.S. ports, the availability of goods from China, and the price of those goods. It is hard to trust anything Trump says on this issue, because he continually lies about the true nature of tariffs. Just last week, Trump, once again from the White House while announcing the UK trade deal, repeated the LIE that consumers don't pay for tariffs, "Countries and businesses do." Hear it from his own mouth, when a reporter asked him about Mattel and Ford raising their prices due to the tariffs.

Key Witness goes Missing as Sean “Diddy” Combs Trial Starts – Other Headline News from This Week

Jury selection in the Sean "Diddy" Combs trial was postponed until Monday as a key witness in the trial is now reported as missing, some business owners started publishing how much they are being charged on tariffs this week as the retail apocalypse draws closer, U.S. automakers are furious with Trump for giving British automakers a better deal on tariffs this week, and Trump appoints another Fox News host to his administration, as he fumes against other media sources who do not worship him and give him positive reports about everything he does, are among the headlines this week that were posted on our Telegram Channel.

Are Risks from Bank “Bail-ins” Increasing? “Shadow Banks” are now 49% of Global Assets

Back in 2023 when several U.S. Banks, mostly banks with high exposure to Silicon Valley Big Tech accounts, started to collapse, I published some articles explaining the concept of bank "bail-ins", which are the opposite of bank "bail-outs" where the U.S. Government bails out "too-big-to-fail" banks that collapse, as we saw in 2008. Bank bail-ins are the opposite, and allow banks to secure non-FDIC insured funds in accounts of bank depositors. Most Americans are unaware of the fact that laws are now in place to seize funds on deposit in U.S. Banks from account holders. There was a threat in 2023 of the total collapse of the U.S. banking system, but it survived, at least temporarily. Talk is again picking up about the possibility of bank bail-ins here in 2025 in Trump 2.0. Much of this chatter is coming from "Gold Bugs" who make their living selling gold, as a hedge against inflation and against bank bail-ins. One video that is making the rounds in the alternative media this week is from ITM Trading, where Taylor Kennedy claims that the "shadow banking" system holds over $250 trillion in risky "assets" like derivatives, which she claims are now 49% of global assets, making bank bail-ins a very real possibility. To understand more about bank bail-ins, here is a Fortune article I used in some of my articles in 2023, but now has apparently been taken down and is only available on Archive.org. Here is another good explanation of bank bail-ins from the Ontrack Financial Group. Also published in 2023 was David Webb's work titled "The Great Taking" which was made into a book and documentary. David Webb has an incredible Bio, and came from a family deeply involved in Freemasonry. He was a successful Wall Street manager for years, and now lives in Switzerland where he owns farmland. He is originally from Cleveland. I would consider Webb a true “whistleblower” who knows the intricacies of Freemasonry and the world’s financial system, through previous experience.

Two Historic Meetings on May 8, 2025: The 80-Year Anniversary of the End of WW II

Today, May 8, 2025, is the 80-year anniversary of "Victory Day", and the end of World War II. Two "historic" meetings took place today, one in Washington D.C. between UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and U.S. President Donald Trump, and one in Moscow between China President Xi Jinping and Russia President Vladimir Putin. If you live in an English speaking country you probably heard a lot about the one in the White House today, but not much or nothing about the one earlier in the day that took place in Moscow. Also happening today, David Blond, who was a senior economist at the Pentagon during the Carter and Reagan administrations, issued a dire warning in an article published in the Financial News today: "Empty shelves, for-lease signs and job layoffs point to recession by summer."

Has Child Sex Trafficking Really Been Eliminated by Robert F. Kennedy at HHS?

In case you missed it last week, Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), Robert F. Kennedy Jr., announced at the White House that he had identified HHS as the "principle" cause of child sex trafficking in the U.S., and that he has now eliminated it. I have seen no published documentation by HHS to back up Secretary Kennedy's claims. Perhaps one of our readers who knows how to file Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests could send one to Mr. Kennedy at HHS and find out what the source of his claims are? Oh, but wait. Did Peggy Hall at The Healthy American just recently publish something about Mr. Kennedy eliminating all the FOIA offices at HHS? Unless Mr. Kennedy was referring to the Child Welfare Program funded by HHS, which includes Foster Care, Adoption and CPS (Child Police Services), I have no idea what, if anything, he actually eliminated. So I decided to do a search for cases here in 2025 where foster parents were arrested for sexually abusing and trafficking children. Hmmm.... Looks to me like child sex trafficking through HHS is alive and well here in 2025. Here are some recent reports I found, and while it is true that most if not all of these cases started before the Trump Administration, please note how most, if not all, of these foster homes funded by HHS where these horrors happened, ARE STILL OPERATING TODAY!!

Florida Health Department Claims Pfizer COVID Shot Killed “Over 470,000 Americans” but They’re Still Available to Inject into Children Throughout Florida

A new study published in "preprint" at medRxiv that looked at COVID-vaccinated people in Florida, is going viral today in the Alternative Health media. Florida's Surgeon General, Joseph A. Ladapo, is one of the co-authors of the study from the Florida Department of Health. This is a typical headline about this study that I am seeing today: "Florida Health Department Confirms Pfizer Vaccine Killed Over 470,000 Americans." I have read most of the study, and the study itself does NOT claim that "470,000 Americans" have been killed by the shots. For one thing, the study only looked at data in Florida. They seem to be taking the number of "all-cause mortality" numbers following Pfizer's COVID shot and then comparing it to the same parameters following the Moderna COVID shots. They then extrapolate that data and multiply it times 50 assuming that the numbers are similar in all states. It is still an alarming study, but the one question that nobody seems to be asking after the publication of this preprint study is, NOW WHAT? Shouldn't there be an immediate BAN on all COVID shots, especially the Pfizer ones, in at least the State of Florida since the study was conducted by the Florida Department of Health and Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo? Shouldn't criminal indictments be issued against EVERYONE who participated in distributing these bioweapon shots and injecting them into millions of Americans? The obvious answer to these two questions is a resounding YES! But it won't happen, because Joseph A. Ladapo is a Big Pharma lap dog, and so is everyone around him, including Governor DeSantis, and the "Father of the Pfizer COVID Shot," President Donald Trump, and his sidekick at HHS, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. As I write this today, ANYONE living in Florida can still schedule a COVID shot for themselves, or for their children, as these dangerous shots are still being injected into the Florida population every day, including babies as young as 6 months old.

U.S. Congress to Vote on Bill Criminalizing Boycotts of Israel as Houthis Bomb Tel Aviv Airport

The U.S. House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on H.R. 867 tomorrow, Monday, May 5, 2025. H.R. 867 is known as the "IGO Anti-Boycott Act." This bill seeks to expand existing anti-boycott laws to penalize Americans who participate in boycotts of Israel or Israeli settlements that are promoted by international governmental organizations such as the United Nations or the European Union. If passed, the legislation would impose civil penalties of up to $300,000, with criminal fines reaching $1 million and prison sentences of up to 20 years for individuals supporting such boycotts. The bill is sponsored by pro-Israel Congressmen Mike Lawler and Josh Gottheimer. This bill is scheduled to be "considered under suspension of the Rules of the House of Representatives during the week of May 5, 2025." Under suspension, floor debate is limited, all floor amendments are prohibited, points of order against the bill are waived, and final passage requires a two-thirds majority vote.
