 squirrely events may be about to begin;


The once-busy port of Seattle has all but shut down.

The Port of Seattle on Sunday, April 27, 2025: EMPTY. This is the 4th busiest port in the nation. Inbound freight from China has STOPPED. Supply-chain disruption will now begin, nationwide. Anyone who has spent time in Seattle can tell you that these docks are always PACKED and the Puget Sound is usually overrun with waiting cargo vessels.

Here is the Marine-Tracker for Seattle: Waiting ships: ZERO. Inbound ships: ZERO. There are presently ZERO cargo ships docked or en-route. There are ZERO containers in the yard, and there are ZERO trucks waiting to haul cargo.

Even if this global trade war is ended tomorrow, it will take a minimum of 30 to 55 days, but more likely at 7-9 months, to normalize supply chains and have available product again. And that’s if everybody calls it off immediately. 40% of cargo vessels leaving China today (vessels that were already paid to make the journey, whether there is a reason to or not) are traveling completely empty. Inbound Shipping container volume is down 80%.

There were always going to be trade disruptions. This is a good time to get stocked up, top up supplies, and avoid travel and unnecessary expenses..........https://ncrenegade.com/the-ports-shut-down/

 caitlin opens up some biden lies;


Former Israeli ambassador to the United States Mike Herzog acknowledged on Israeli media on Sunday that the Biden administration never at any time pressured Israel for a ceasefire in Gaza.

“God did the State of Israel a favor that Biden was the president during this period, because it could have been much worse,” Herzog said. “We fought [in Gaza] for over a year and the administration never came to us and said, ‘ceasefire now.’ It never did.”

So everyone who said the Biden administration was working for a ceasefire lied. They lied that whole entire time. They committed genocide and lied about it, and then they said you were crazy and irresponsible if you didn’t support them. 

People’s rage should shake heaven and earth..............more..........

 israel is now intentionally starving all of gaza showing what a moral democracy they are for those skeptical among us, if they choose to see;


Aside from the intermittent bombardment and shelling, something more constant preoccupies Muhammad al-Hajj Ahmad, 54. A resident of the Zeitoun neighborhood east of Gaza City, Hajj Ahmad cannot stop thinking about how he is going to feed his seven children, the eldest of whom is 16. Since the beginning of the war, he and his family have relied on food distribution points run by relief organizations, as well as individual and collective initiatives. The last satisfying meal he and his family ate was two weeks ago.

“Since the beginning of the war, we’ve gotten used to eating one meal a day,” Hajj Ahmad says in video testimony for Mondoweiss. “If we’re lucky, we sometimes get dinner. We get our main daily meal from food distribution points, but they’re dwindling, and most have closed, so we don’t have a main meal anymore. It means death for us and our children.”

As a result of the stifling blockade imposed by Israel, which has been ongoing for close to two months since Israel blew up the short-lived ceasefire with Hamas, the UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) has now announced that it has run out of its food stores in Gaza. ..........more.........

 larry johnson speaks about brics and its focus;


While Russia continues to keep the door open for talks with Donald Trump, it is also focused on developing BRICS as an alternative to the US-controlled international financial system. At the BRICS Foreign Ministers’ Meeting held in Rio de Janeiro on April 28, 2025, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov emphasized several key themes reflecting Russia’s strategic priorities within the bloc:​

1. Advocacy for a Multipolar World Order

Lavrov portrayed BRICS as a platform promoting a multipolar global system, challenging Western dominance. He criticized the United States for employing trade as a tool of coercion and for attempting to impede the emergence of new power centers. Lavrov asserted that BRICS represents “an association where the principles of equal cooperation are actually implemented,” appealing to nations seeking alternatives to Western-led institutions. ​

2. De-dollarization and Financial Sovereignty

Highlighting the shift away from the U.S. dollar, Lavrov noted that approximately 65% of Russia’s trade with BRICS countries is now conducted in national currencies. He mentioned ongoing efforts to develop alternative payment systems and platforms to reduce reliance on Western-controlled financial mechanisms like SWIFT. ​...........more.........

Israel’s genocide in Gaza, now into its 19th month, aims to destroy all life and dismantle the very foundations of survival in the besieged territory.

People in Gaza may die by missile strikes, disease, starvation or the collapsed healthcare system, as anguish weakens the body until illness overtakes it.

Every path leads to death in Gaza. Death has become so frequent and familiar that Palestinians might simultaneously face multiple types of demise, as with the queues forming outside charity kitchens in an effort to stave off starvation, only to be bombed by Israeli aircraft while they wait.

This happened most recently in the southern al-Mawasi area, where one volunteer recalled to Middle East Eye: “I was busy distributing food to the children … and in the blink of an eye, everything turned upside down. Blood filled the place, screams and cries of children and women rose, the food-filled pots were scattered, and the kitchen turned into a ball of fire.”

Since the start of the war in October 2023, Israel has targeted 26 food kitchens and 37 aid distribution centres in Gaza, according to local media reports.

While these kitchens often provide poor-quality food, typically limited to staples like lentils, beans and rice, Palestinians are willing to wait for hours in long queues just to get a plateful – a testament to the depth of Gaza’s humanitarian catastrophe..........more...........

 a notable british journalist speaks reality so i wonder how long till he's in jail;


Not since the Iraq War and those notoriously elusive ‘weapons of mass destruction’ have the people of America and Europe been told bigger lies by their warmongering political leaders.

Leo Hohmann – Leo’s Newsletter April 28, 2025

Peter Hitchens, in an Op-Ed published by the Daily Mail, says he learned long ago that governments specialize in lying and in getting others, especially the mainstream corporate media, to lie for them.

“It is what they do,” he writes. And yet, seldom has he seen such a massive cloud of lies as we face now with regard to the war in Ukraine.

He writes:

“There has been nothing like it since we were all lied to about the Iraq invasion, with bilge about fictional ‘Weapons of Mass Destruction’. The liars were caught. And they learned from it. They learned to lie more skillfully.”.........more........
