1. Richard Grove’s – Insight of the Week

   “The Epstein story is less about scandal and more about structure. When institutions redact, delete, and selectively reveal, they aren’t malfunctioning—they’re performing. The listener’s task is to recognize when “release” functions as pressure relief rather than disclosure.

   Pair that with the rapid ascent of AI systems capable of modeling human behavior, and the pattern sharpens. Power consolidates through information asymmetry. Whether through blackmail networks or predictive algorithms, the dynamic is the same: those who know, steer those who don’t.

   Discernment begins when you stop asking, “Is this shocking?” and start asking, “Who benefits from how this is framed?”

   War provides distraction when the population is angry, says Prof. Jiang
   “The government sees that the population is fighting among themselves.”
   “They realize that if the conflict continues, that people will eventually turn against the government itself.”
   “Revolution becomes a real possibility.”
   “So the government does what governments have always done.”
   “They send the troublemakers off to fight in foreign wars.”
   “Get them out of the country, get them killing foreigners instead of each other.”
   “Distract them with external enemies.”
   “These wars won’t make any strategic sense.”
   “They won’t be about genuine national interest.”
   “They’ll be stupid, pointless wars designed to channel domestic conflict outward.”
   “We’re not discussing what’s right and wrong.”
   “We’re discussing how power works.”
   “We’re discussing what people in power actually do as opposed to what they should do.”
   “If you don’t send the angry young men off to fight foreigners, they’ll revolt against you.”
   “They’ll tear down your palaces and take your wealth and maybe kill you and your family.”
   “War provides a distraction.”
   “War reinforces nationalism and social cohesion.”
   “War justifies authoritarian measures at home.”
   “I’m not saying this is right.”
   “I’m saying this is what happens.”
   “This is the pattern throughout history, and this is what I expect to happen in the Western world over the coming decades.”

2. An important read about yet another op:

   “The (NY Times) essay’s argument is simple: the author’s mother didn’t vaccinate her out of love. The author now vaccinates her own children out of love. The only difference is information and emotional support. The moral of the story? Parents who don’t vaccinate aren’t bad people – they just haven’t been guided to the correct conclusion yet.”

   Stylman’s Substack goes into the information that this newest narrative ignores – very important to be aware of:

3. Can I recommend some titles for the episode? “The Epstein Coalition goes to war”, or “Operation Epstein’s Fury”, or ” The Board of Peace launches its first war”.

4. Can the following be a purpose for the US/Israel attack on Iran?

   We know that the Ukraine War is a Proxy War intended to weaken Russia, in hopes that it can weakened enough to be taken over. Can the attack on Iran be a way to suck the USA into a Proxy War and a situation similar to Russia? They already weakened our military by injecting them with a bio-weapon. They left military equipment in Afghanistan and they say we are short of armaments and lack the ability to scale up production.

   1. Another explanation is the Trump administration is trying to cut off Chinese resources, because the CCP is attempting to take over the U.S.

      1. Don’t see any long term planning about anything, just short term action that lines pockets. Any fallout is just byproduct they don’t care about. Pirate days are back, just yell yipîkaye as intimidation and count your profits.

         America is a superpower gone rogue and drunk on power.

         1. You’re probably right, short term action is probably the reason it is difficult to figure out the situation. On the other hand, I believe Mr Global does do long term planning, so I’m still trying to figure it out.

            I’m American and appalled at not only the bulling, stealing and assassinations, but of the bragging about it, as if this is a good and noble thing. It’s very sad.

            1. Mr Global or Nazi International as I tend to call them in the moment does not seem to mind chaos, aux contraire they seem to stimulate it everywhere on the globe. This is a tiff between mafia bosses from various countries with an enormous fallout price for local populations. I tend to look upon those maffia bosses as midle management thus all expendable. For now they are allowed to play their shorterm lucrative money rackets at our expense.

               American, European, Chinese, Russian, Iranian, etc, we are all caught up and bamboozled in powerplays. Be realistic, stay alive and come out the other side but don’t go down in shame.

            2. No better advice!

5. Catherine, what is your opinion on the US/Israel attack on Iran? Thank you, Christian.

   1. Described in the Tucker interview. Will do more on Money & Markets this week and another deep dive with Farrell when we record News Trends and Stories at the end of the month.

   2. Hello, see the latest Catherine interview on Tucker Carlson. Although the interview precedes the attack on Iran, I remember she mentioned the reason why Iran would be attacked, and it’s not nuclear weapons.
      I don’t remember where in the interview she mentioned that. Now you’ll have to listen to the whole thing. 🙂
      The whole situation is quite sad and shocking, even if it was to be expected. I am not from the Middle East. I am a Eastern European living in Canada and I love the Iranian people. I have met several and they are probably the most civilized and smartest people I know. God bless them!
      I chose to pray specifically for PEACE during Easter lent. I am sure it matters. It’s about the only thing I can do in this situation.

      1. Tucker actually put out a 12min clip from his interview with Catherine that dials-in exactly on this point she so clearly made. It’s titled: “You’ve been lied to about Iran” send to everyone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGmlNS_RHMY&t=28s

6. Absolutely loved the recent Tucker interview – succinct and to the point. Very happy that the millions who watch Tucker will see it!

   A question: What is the Trump administration’s stated authority for attacking Iran? Isn’t Trump obligated to state on what specific authority his actions are based? Understanding that presidents have started wars without congressional approval for decades – don’t they always need to tie it back to some specific state of emergency (including the name or number), or bill passed, or something to support the reason they are not following the Constitution which requires a vote by congress?

   1. Just called my Rep to be sure he votes in favor of Massie’s War Powers Resolution being voted on tomorrow.

   2. He has no authority. Congress is required to authorize war. Looks to me like the command structure has been reshuffled to a group of generals who will be willing to mobilize illegally. Congress can cut off the money. They can also impeach.

      Once you spend 30 years disobeying the financial management laws, this is where you arrive.

      1. Kind of what we thought… so is it true that Trump needs no stated authority to wage attacks – he can just act?

         Wondering if you’ve ever heard the conversation that we have been under a continual state of emergency since 1933? Not sure if this could be true, but it would help explain why Presidents have been acting as they have been – seemingly outside the Constitution. In a nutshell:

         – March 6, 1933 FDR declares a “National Emergency” (Proclamation 2039) and closes banks. Considering the Constitution (Art. 1, Sec. 8) and the Law of Necessity, the Constitution places no limit upon the war powers of government.
         – March 9, 1933 FDR declares the Emergency Banking Relief Act (Proclamation 2040). “Therefore, in view of such continuing national emergency and by virtue of the authority vested in me by section 5(b) of the Trading With the Enemy Act, (which FDR had originally brought forward in 1917 as Assistant Secretary of the Navy), I do hereby proclaim, order, direct and declare that all terms and provisions of said Proclamation of March 6, 1933 … hereby continued in full force and effect until further proclamation by the President.”

         No President since has cancelled this. Some say this state of emergency is still in effect today, and it’s one of the few that do not need to be renewed every two years. If so, it could be argued that the Constitution is being followed, although one could say fraudulently.

         What would happen if all current and on-going states of emergency were to be immediately cancelled. Would our Presidents still be able to continue acting as commander in chief/dictator?

7. The unreality of this war for me now is the complete disregard for building any kind of consensus. I was in the military during Desert Storm. There was extraordinary attention paid to building a coalition of the willing. Even the second Iraq war, there was months of media on WMDs. But now everyone saw the 12 day war. Everyone saw that it was Isreal’s war. They didn’t even try to paper a story over it.

   It is shockingly unconstitutional and it looks to be WWIII.

   Then all the characters in the administration, it literally is a cast from a bad reality TV show. Bondi, Lutnick, Neom, Patel, and now Hegseth. We’re they picked due to their utter stupidity and inability to comprehend what is going on around them?

   Then just the constant march of half baked illegality. DOGE, Tariffs(now all being rolled back), ICE (has imprisoned over 5k citizens without habeas corpus), Venezuela, now insanity with Iran. The whole Silicon Valley mantra of move fast and break things – except the everyone chanting it is toddler that has found their drunk uncle’s loaded glok.
