And here are some of the key stories we got to cover, tonight!
VANCE LIES AGAIN During his first White House press briefing in over 40 days, Vance addressed U.S.-Iran tensions, downplaying the current situation as not a full war since there’s no active shooting, with the timeline hinging on when Iranians stop targeting ships. He faced questions from CNN’s Kaitlan Collins and sparked social media criticism for saying the U.S. had won few conflicts before Trump, prompting many people to question which wars Trump won and call the remarks disrespectful to service members. Critics like Rep. Ro Khanna highlighted inconsistencies between Vance’s words and Trump’s ‘winning the war’ rhetoric…
Important. In addition to those Trump killed at a wedding in Iran, sixteen others have died. “Iran Says US Strikes on Tuesday Killed 18, Wounded 108 - News From Antiwar.com” LINK Meanwhile, the US “Economic War” not only is immoral and unconstitutional, the claims about it destroying Iran’s economy are not valid. Check out the sub-post from Esfandyar here.
Meanwhile, Trita Parsi notes: “…Israeli media is brainstorming on how to get the US to start a land war with Iran despite massive problems, including a shortage of soldiers (up to 1.5 million soldiers would be needed!). The solution? Well, according to the Jerusalem Post, the US should offer to erase student loans and credit-card balances for the young Americans willing to join the slaughter. The cost would, of course, be MASSIVE. And it would be paid for by ordinary American taxpayers. All because Israel wants more war…”
Let’s recall this, from AntiWar: “Israeli Defense Minister Says Ethnic Cleansing Is the Only ‘Real Solution’ for Gaza - News From Antiwar.com” LINK Dave DeCamp offers more on this, and shows us how Katz, Netanyahu, and Trump all take this position, regardless of Trump’s smokescreen of the “Board of Peace”
AND… Even in the “pass-the-buck” world of Bessent, he could note that the US could stop the conflict in Ukraine by NO LONGER SELLING IT OR GIVING IT WEAPONS AND CASH. “Ukrainian attacks fueling global ‘energy shock’ – US Treasury secretary (VIDEO) — RT Business News” LINK
This is colorful: “Mamma mia! How a panic over pasta prices prompted a Trump tariff retreat” LINK -And Lutnick, who keeps appearing on TV to tell people the economy is GREAT and Trump is a GENIUS, well, he shows the hand - the Trumpers are working on ways to impose even more tariffs, and, given the increasing US warmongering and the clear and present danger the DC goons represent against all of our living standards and liberty, Trump undoubtedly will try to claim “national security” as his justification.
US FEDERALISM, RIP - HOUSE PASSES BILL PULLING ALREADY UNCONSTITUTIONAL FUNDS FROM COLLEGES - ONLY IF THE COLLEGES SUPPORT BOYCOTTS OF, OR DIVESTMENT FROM, ISRAEL
Those two “no” votes match their usual pattern of opposing bills they view as expanding federal conditions or foreign-policy entanglement.What happens next The bill now goes to the Senate…
Good thing the feds know better than you where to send your money.
RUSSIA-CHINA-INDIA-IRAN-NORTH+SOUTH KOREA, INDONESIA, PAKISTAN, MORE, GATHER AT 11th EASTERN ECONOMIC FORUM
Today at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, world leaders gathered to advance economic partnership among nations, offering a model of mutual benefit over division. Russian President Vladimir Putin, joined by Indonesia’s Prabowo Subianto, China’s Ding Xuexiang, Mongolia’s prime minister, and Myanmar’s vice president, declared the Far East “a territory for cooperation and dynamic change.” He highlighted Russia’s equal-footed trade and investment ties with the Asia-Pacific, a global growth engine. LINK
More than 7,000 participants from 78 countries focused on people-centered development, infrastructure, Arctic shipping, and technology. We will have more on that key shipping point on Liberty Conspiracy Live, tonight… Agreements signed in the forum’s first days already exceed 6 trillion rubles, while Russia-China trade heads toward a new record. This stands in contrast to protectionist tariffs and militarism that hinder shared prosperity. The forum proves that open collaboration among all peoples—not isolation or conflict—builds lasting economic progress.
One of the most important points, IMO, was made by Sergei Lavrov, who spoke the truth re US/NATO/EU aggression. That aggression, both through kinetic means via Ukraine and sabotage of pipelines, and warlike-economic-blocks of Russian fuel and other products (even US “secondary sanctions” on other nations that might RESELL Russian goods or fuel - Lavrov shows the stark contrast between the Western antagonism and the Eastern unified goal of more open trade.

THE SCO GATHERING ADVANCES TRADE FREEDOM BEYOND DYING DOLLAR HEGEMONY
This week’s Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Bishkek marked a step toward genuine free trade and peace among nations, free from coercive blocs and weaponized finance. Leaders from China, Russia, India, Iran, and Central Asian states adopted the Bishkek Declaration and 28 documents promoting connectivity and economic cooperation without tariffs or exclusionary barriers. LINK Central to the talks was the proposed SCO Development Bank. Though not yet launched, members agreed to accelerate founding documents. President Putin stressed it must remain independent of financial systems used as “weapons” for unilateral advantage—precisely the inflated fiat dollar and sanctions that choke trade and fuel warmongering. LINK Already, over 98% of Russia’s $400 billion-plus trade with SCO partners occurs in national currencies. The bank would expand this, letting traders settle directly in rubles, yuan, rupees, or rials—bypassing the dollar, SWIFT, and sanctions that punish Iran and others. Kazakhstan offered to host its headquarters, focusing funds on infrastructure rather than speculation. LINK This multipolar approach rejects economic fascism and endless conflicts. As Pepe Escobar long has argued, Eurasian integration through such institutions restores sovereignty and mutual benefit over hegemony. In fact, here is Pepe with Mario Nawfal, on just this SCO gathering!
RUSSIA-UKRAINE
The EU/NATO/GERMAN claims that a drone “attack” at Leipzig was directed by Russ a few weeks ago do not provide evidence. Here, however, Ursula von der Leyen claims with total performative confidence that it was Russia. After the cut, you can keep watching to see Daniel Davis provide his POV and his valuable observation that the Europeans cannot complain, since they have been hitting Russia via Ukraine for years.
AND, now that Mark Rutte is done destroying the farmers and ranchers in Holland, he heads up NATO, which is the other arm of the Atlanticist-EO body. He also focuses on Russia, and talks “tough”
And… ”Norway seizes Russian Arctic science vessel at Kiev’s request — RT World News” LINK AND “Threats to civilian ships and aircraft constitute ‘state terrorism’ – Putin — RT Russia & Former Soviet Union” LINK
Massie’s bill is a nice start, but government monitors of people, be they operating in real-time or recording for later use, are breaches of the 4th Amendment, AND the feds are not allowed to fund any local cops, anyway.
There IS no “opting out” of the state if the state claims power over you. All options are allowed or not allowed by the state, making them non-options, in reality.
