Donald Trump Has Blockaded
The Blockade
Trump has gone fucking nuts.
The unconstitutional Iran War is doing massive damage to the world economy by cutting off energy supplies.
Trump's answer to the oil blockade is to do another oil blockade cutting off even more oil from the world.
You can't make this shit up.
My Annual Update
The 2025 Superhero Season is Over
By Gary;
As the ultimate fanboy it is time for my annual review and reshuffling of my top ten list of superhero movies.
This annual project is not getting any easier. Many of the newer movies have been improving by light years in acting, plots and special effects.
We have come along way from the ancient days of Superman and the Mole Men. The modern superhero fills the screen with incredible drama and special effects that are off the charts.
Since 1951 there have been about 150 Superhero films. Some of them have been steaming piles while others are Shakespearean in their quality.
The superhero has always been with us. The mythical adventures of Hercules are among the most famous tales. The hero feeds some inner need to excel, to risk all to save others. And then there are the supervillains. You cannot have a Superman without a Lex Luthor.
#1 The Dark Knight (2008)
Heath Ledger. Period. Subject closed.
What a loss to the movie industry. Anyone who watched The Dark Knight in theaters was blown away by Ledger's Joker. At one time I thought Jack Nickolson's Joker could never be topped. How wrong I was.
The movie is as close to perfection as a film is able to be from acting to the script to effects. My only complaint is the killing off of Harvey Two Face. Bad move. Two Face would have been the perfect villain for Batman 3.
#2 Watchmen (2009)
I, like most movie goers, was unfamiliar with the original graphic novel. But no more.
Watchmen is the thinking man's Superhero movie. The even longer director's cut proves what a classic film it is.
Plots and sub plots, vigilante justice, lesbianism, alternate universes, nuclear war, insanity, rape, does time exist? Does time even matter? With each viewing the movie goes deeper and deeper.
The only way to watch the film is the blu ray director's cut from Zack Snyder.
#3 The Avengers (2012)
Favorites of mine since childhood. I waited a long time to see this come to the big screen. Director and writer Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel) showed a big screen talent that should have been put to use years ago.
It is hard to find a part of the movie that is not good. Wonderful film from start to finish.
#4 Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)
Moved up one spot from last year.
Chris Evans takes Captain America far from World War II story lines and into the contemporary NSA / Sci Fi Big Brother police state.
Cap does it all with the stunning Scarlett Johansson at his side and Samuel L. Jackson fighting the good fight.
An unbelievably well done movie. As close to perfection as you can get.
#5 Batman (1989)
Moving up from #6 to #5.
Those of us who had been subjected to the pure crap of the girly-man Superman films were blown out of our theater seats by Tim Burton's Batman. Jack Nicholson's Joker was a psycho crazy bastard we never knew existed.
This movie took the superhero genre to a place we never dreamed it could be. Suddenly the comic art form had become serious drama.
The public agreed. The movie raked in a staggering $411,000,000 in 1989 dollars.
#7 Spider-Man (2002)
The first of the Spider-Man films was an incredible event to see in the theater. Again, near perfection in balancing comedy, drama, action and special effects.
The bean counters in Hollywood also woke up. Spider-Man pulled in $821,000,000. Just shy of one billion dollars.
#8 Ironman (2008)
Robert Downey is a national treasure. He brought Tony Stark to life in a way I never thought possible. Iron Man is a perfect blend of humor, drama and superhero action.
Marvel Studios updated the Tony Stark legend to the new modern era. The great Jeff Bridges and Gwyneth Paltrow are a pleasure to watch on the screen.
This is one of rare movies you can watch over and over again.
#9 Man of Steel (2013)
My dislike of all things Kevin Costner clouded my judgement of this movie. But with the wonders of DVDs I can now skip all the Costner parts.
Director Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen) does an outstanding update of the Superman myth. The back story of Clark growing to manhood and love story of Superman and Lois Lane are very well done. The special effects battle scenes with General Zod's forces are exceptional.
#10 The Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)
I am going out on a limb putting Guardians on the top ten list, but this movie connects with me in a way many others have failed to do.
The film is a great blend of action and comedy.
--- Deadpool
--- Suicide Squad
--- Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
--- Blade
--- Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
WHAT HAPPENED: Scientists have found plastic nanoparticles in the edible parts of vegetables for the first time, raising concerns about the implications for the food chain.
Scientists at the University of Plymouth, England, have discovered plastic nanoparticles inside the edible parts of vegetables, raising new concerns about how deeply plastic pollution has infiltrated the food chain. Researchers found that nanoplastics, some as small as one millionth of a centimetre, can bypass natural root barriers in plants and accumulate in both roots and leaves.
The study involved growing radishes hydroponically in water containing polystyrene nanoparticles. To track the particles, scientists used radiolabelled carbon. Within five days, nearly five percent of the nanoparticles had entered the root system. Of those, around 25 percent remained in the radish root itself, while approximately ten percent entered into the leaves.
Dr. Nathaniel Clark, the study’s lead author, said the findings are unprecedented. “This is the first time a study has demonstrated nanoplastic particles could get beyond that barrier, with the potential for them to accumulate within plants and be passed onto anything that consumes them,” he said. Clark noted that radishes were used as a model, but other crops could likely absorb plastic in similar ways.
Richard Thompson, head of the university’s International Marine Litter Research Unit, said the findings build on earlier research that found microplastics in seafood, salt, and bottled water. “This study provides clear evidence that particles in the environment can accumulate not only in seafood but also in vegetables,” he said.
The study comes as other research has revealed alarming signs of plastic exposure in humans. A 2025 report from researchers in New Mexico detected microplastics in human brain tissue, particularly in the frontal cortex. The particles were small enough to cross the blood-brain barrier, though the health effects remain unknown.
Separately, a 2024 investigation found that people may be consuming more than 1,000 microplastic particles each year through ordinary table salt. All 21 salt brands examined were found to contain various forms of plastic contamination, including fragments, fibers, and pellets.
Another study linked microplastic exposure to increased spread of cancer cells in lab experiments.
Last year, the legislature and governor of Minnesota added a new category of human rights called "gender identity" to the Minnesota Human Rights Act. The result has been an unleashing of tyranny against Christian schools and churches throughout the state.
As of now, the state of Minnesota can tell churches and schools, at least those with 501(c)3 status, what they can and cannot say about "gender identity." They can also, according to the law, force churches and schools of a religious nature what to say or do on other topics, too.
As it stands, the new law criminalizes the use of truthful pronouns as opposed to the ones constantly being made up by LGBTs. It also criminalizes others perceived as derogatory language that refuses to play along with LGBT delusions, i.e., transgender surgeries and puberty blockers for children.
"If pastors, teachers, or any other Minnesotans speak or write in opposition to the use of wrong-sex hormones, transgender surgery, or puberty blockers for minors, can they be charged with a crime under state law?" asks The Federalist's Allen Quist about the implications of the new law.
"If parents try to protect their minor children from such practices, can they be charged with a crime? Can their minor children be removed from their custody if parents refuse to follow such laws? And can a transgender-identifying person be denied employment by a Christian school, church, or other Christian organization, such as counseling centers, charities, or pro-life groups?"
U.S. Customs and Border Protection employees received an agency email on Tuesday honoring “National Breast/Chestfeeding Month.”
However, employees say they have yet to receive any significant message regarding the department’s relief/recovery efforts in the deadly Maui wildfire.
According to a source within CBP, the Biden Administration has thus far focused more on tailoring traditional messaging to accommodate the woke left while failing to order the U.S. flag lowered to half-staff in honor of those who perished or remain missing in Maui.
The source says the message received by employees may seem benign to some as the agency has supported lactation services for mothers returning to work after delivery for years. However, DHS has added “chestfeeding” to the annual messaging campaign to appease the left.
The term accommodates mostly transgender males who prefer the word chest over the traditional vernacular. The source says that the Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, focuses on woke efforts to rename awareness campaigns, but he is keeping employees in the dark on the agency’s efforts regarding the relief and mobilization to the Lahaina wildfire.
Journalist Gonzalo Lira points that the U.S. is seen by many countries as an Agent of Chaos.
We see nations around the world looking for alternatives, and they are joining the BRICS nations.
The leader of Indonesia says the country must reduce its dependence on foreign payment systems, to negate potentially disastrous economic consequences should the country ever find itself in the crosshairs of Western sanctions.
Addressing a business forum in Jakarta this week, President Joko Widodo argued that Indonesia must shield itself from geopolitical disruptions, citing the sanctions attack on Russia’s financial sector by the US, EU, and their allies over the conflict in Ukraine.
“Be very careful. We must remember the sanctions imposed by the US on Russia. Visa and Mastercard could be a problem,” Widodo said on Wednesday at a gathering that promoted the use of Indonesian-made products and services.
Last year, Indonesia rolled out a Domestic Government Credit Card (KKP) program to facilitate transactions between the central and regional governments. The president urged the public sector to adopt domestic systems, stressing that eventually “everyone should be able to use” locally-issued bank cards so that “we can be independent.”
“If we use our own platforms, and everybody is using them, from ministries and local administrations to municipal governments, then we can be more secure,” Widodo said, according to the Jakarta Post.
(Summit News) The US military-industrial complex is making massive gains as a result of the war in Ukraine and other global conflicts, with weapons manufacturers enjoying soaring profits.
Data released by the State Department shows that US weapons sales to other countries rose from $103.4 billion in 2021 to $153.7 billion in 2022.
The leap was largely thanks to US support for prolonging the war in Ukraine.
Germany’s order of 35 F-35 Joint Strike Fighter airplanes for $8.4 billion and Poland’s $6 billion spend on 250 M1 Abrams tanks also bumped up the numbers.
Some men just want to watch the world burn
$3 billion in weapons sales to Saudi Arabia, a country which the Biden administration promised to stop arming due to its war in Yemen, also inflated the figure, as did $2.2 billion to the United Arab Emirates and a $1.1 billion weapons package for Taiwan.
Lockheed Martin, which develops the F-16, F-22, and F-35 fighter jets, saw its profits jump 7.13% to $19 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Northrop Grumman is also expected to report 11.8% revenue growth for fourth quarter earnings, thanks in part to its manufacture and sale of F-35 fighter jets.
Raytheon, the maker of the Patriot Air Defense System which the Biden administration is set to supply Ukraine with, enjoyed a Q4 profit rise of nearly 18% compared to last year.
News of the profits has served as a reminder of a 1935 essay written by United States Marine Corps Major General Smedley D. Butler, who famously said “war is a racket,” pointing out how gunpowder manufacturer the DuPont Company saw their profits increase by more than 950% during The Great War.
The Elites want chaos and you dead or a slave
(Brietbart) On November 15, 2022, several of the world’s biggest banks agreed to a shocking new plan — one that could lead to a complete overthrow of the U.S. dollar as we know it.
Sponsored by the New York Federal Reserve, participants in this plan include banking giants like Wells Fargo, Citigroup, HSBC, and Mastercard, just to name a few.
The pilot program — dubbed “Project Cedar” — would convert regular U.S. dollars into a brand-new type of dollar, which could have massive implications for all American citizens.
But “Project Cedar” is just the second step in a complete overhaul of the U.S. banking system.
The first step was announced on March 9, 2022, when President Biden signed Executive Order 14067.
This Executive Order gave legal provisions for this new U.S. dollar and could give the U.S. government unprecedented control over your money and freedom.
In fact, it could even pave the way for things like:
“I’ve been warning about this for months,” says renowned macroeconomist Jim Rickards.
“Now with the launch of ‘Project Cedar’, the wheels are fully in motion — and I don’t believe anything can stop it.”
Mr. Rickards is one of the world’s foremost financial experts and has been a respected advisor to the CIA, the Pentagon, and multiple U.S. presidents.
The way he sees it, this is the start of a sinister new plot against everyday Americans.
“We’re in for a major upheaval of the U.S. dollar,” he says.
“In fact, I predict the 3rd Great Dollar Earthquake has already started…
“The first was Roosevelt confiscating private gold in 1934…
“The second was Nixon abandoning the gold standard in 1971…
“Now,” he says, “This plan could pave the way for ‘retiring’ the U.S. dollar — and replacing it with a disturbing new alternative.”
