We begin with the on-fire news of NDAA Section 224 (we have a separate video pod on that at our Rumble channel, and on X - Here is the X post:

And Thomas Massie has seen the provisions of Sec 224, and will try to stop it.

For an excellent analysis of the contents of the Section 224 provisions, this X post stands out… Open up the direct post, then, of course, read the article attached, from the excellent folks at Responsible Statecraft.

And, though it is good to see Bret Weinstein on our side (he often is), the key philosophical point about the nature of statism rises from what he neglected to mention…

MORE ISRAELI INFLUENCE

This, another piece from Responsible Statecraft and the Intercept, is important, and you can see some of the MAGA-media recipients of the influence-cash. Here is an extended portion of the article. I hope you will click over and read the entire report.
’A company run by former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale, hired by the Israeli government to push pro-Israel views on a major conservative media network, has directed $13 million from Israel to several Republican digital strategy firms and allies, according to a previously unreported document filed under the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
Parscale was hired in part to influence major right-wing Christian media company Salem Media Group, where he is also an executive. His firm spent hundreds of thousands on ads with a Salem subsidiary. As part of the contract, Parscale’s firm also sent millions to other firms run by some of his closest political allies.
The new filing sheds light on a more detailed web of interconnected companies and political operatives capitalizing on Parscale’s contract with the Israeli government. Many of the companies getting work as part of Parscale’s Israel contract are being reported here for the first time.
Among those that received millions of dollars’ worth of payments related to the contract are ventures like SparkFire, an AI chatbot company leading a mass texting campaign, and a shadowy firm run by longtime mainstream Republican strategist Mike Shields. (None of the figures or firms in this story responded to requests for comment.)
Israel initially directly hired Parscale’s firm, Clock Tower X, last September with a contract worth $6 million. The new filing reveals that his firm has received over $15 million through an intermediary, Havas Media Network, an international media company working on behalf of the Israeli state.
The document shows that Parscale directed over $500,000 for ads to Salem Media Representatives, a subsidiary of Salem Media. Although Parscale was hired to integrate pro-Israel messaging into Salem Media shows — which feature conservative commentators such as Hugh Hewitt, Larry Elder, and Scott Jennings — these payments to the conservative media conglomerate on behalf of Israel were not previously known.’

GAZA

As we noted, Trump’s “Board of Peace” has not seen the “donations” he boasted would be raining down like manna. And the “bored” has done nothing to stop the Israeli Occupation Force from expanding beyond the already insulting and criminal “yellow line” in Gaza. Here is something to remember…

This day (Sat, May 30) marks the sixth anniversary of the IDF hunting down and shooting an autistic Palestinian man in Gaza.

This is crazed war crime generator Ben-Gvir mocking his mother after the IDF goon were acquitted.

And, leave it to the Egyptian government to cower and not acknowledge the reality that Israel never CEASED FIRING or TAKING LAND. Headline: “Egypt warns Israeli Gaza expansion risks collapse of ceasefire” LINK
-More testimony of Israeli crimes

This, tied to the Israeli aggression, murder, in another nation, as family is hit by the slaughter, then, cops attack the relatives of the victims

LEBANON

Al Jazeera confirms that Israel has driven north and is occupying 20% of Lebanon.

Itimar Ben-Gvir is one of the easiest go-to goons to reveal the true intent of most in the Israeli government - The Greater Israel Project. In this case, he rejoices over the war crimes of Israel “flattening” suburbs in southern Lebanon

And… More Israeli use of banned White Phosphorus.

This shows the stark before-after once Israeli forces move against innocent people

IRAN

The US Saturday attacked a ship near the Strait of Hormuz. They claim they fired a Hellfire missile at the boat because it was headed to Iran. Never forget the aggressor is the US, the Americans will be sure to remind you.

Treasury Sec Bessent continues his strange Odessey as an international pirate - after pridefully claiming he helped harm the Iranian economy in January. Now, he brags about stealing Iranian-held crypto. A warning to crypto speculators, of course, but also a warning about dealing with this maniac.

Ben-Gvir has stated the obvious. Here is the headline: “Ben-Gvir Says Israel ‘Will Not Allow’ Trump to Make a Peace Deal With Iran as IDF Kills Dozens in Lebanon | Common Dreams” LINK
-And why would Iranian officials accept Trump’s thuggish demands? Headline “Iran rejects Trump's terms of deal to lift Hormuz blockade | Middle East Eye” LINK

RUSSIA-UKRAINE

Ukraine just hit he Zaporozyhe nuclear plant, using a drone.
Headline “Ukraine ‘deliberately’ struck Europe’s largest nuclear plant – Rosatom — RT Russia & Former Soviet Union” LINK
And, a week after the terrible attack, Vladimir Putin makes an excellent point about the unbalanced western media coverage of the Russian response, while those pop media figurines avoid the predicate Ukrainian attack that inspired the response - Headline “Western media coverage of Starobelsk is ‘making fools’ of audience – Putin (FULL VIDEO) — RT World News” Link

US ECONOMY

The Bessents and Hassets of the Trump Admin continue to dismiss the obvious increases in prices, shortages, and declining strength of the Dollar (indicating declining productivity, as well) Headline: “Trump’s econ chief brags that Americans 'spending more on everything'“ LINK

GENERAL POLITICAL ECONOMICS

This is a good piece on how he British “Conservatives” are, like Trump, increasing their disastrous calls for central planning, i.e. “industrial policy”. In the article, the author spells out the major practical drawbacks to this unethical usurpation of consumer choice and market functionality. Check it out; it’s a very good article to show to students! Headline “Dear conservatives, industrial policy is a dead end - CapX” LINK

POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY AND LOGIC

Auberon Herbert (1838-1906), the Victorian-Era Classical Liberal, might be most famous for his essay, “(On) The Right and Wrong of Compulsion by the State”. Here, Sheldon Richman writes about Herbert’s logical destruction of claims that “majority” can override individual volition, practically, or ethically, and more. Here is a sample from Sheldon’s piece.
’In Herbert’s day, as in ours, people took for granted that the state (“the people”) may properly exercise power over peaceful others (through, say, a parliament) for a variety of purposes. So he asked, “Have men any right to this power?” And again, “If they have it, do they possess it for all matters? If not for all matters, for what matters? and in this last case how are we to tell what these matters are?”

Now I do not hesitate to say that this question stands in importance far before all other questions which the human race has to answer. Indeed if we could see clearly, we should see that the decision of all these other questions is wrapped up in this one great decision; for I know of no question that would not be settled in one fashion by a free race and in another by a state-regulated race. But apart from this influence on character, which freedom and state-regulation must respectively exercise, the answer which every man finds it in his soul to make to this great question, “By what title do men exercise power over each other?” must decide for him the general course of his own life.

No one can avoid choosing between the two great options: liberty and coercion.’

CONSORTIUM is chatting with Ray McGovern and Scott Ritter about the US aggression against Iran and the Ukraine-Russia fight - still rolling as we work on this on Saturday night!

The Author Update guys offer some great information on YouTube users taking text books, putting them into AI to create audio books, and getting ad money from them. Fascinating IP issue. That, and the Pope commenting on AI!

This is a nice interview with Michael Graves, formerly of Misfits (after numerous changes in lineups), who left the band and has found great fulfillment creating Christian-oriented music. Check it out!

That’s it for now, all! We will be with you LIVE on Monday night at 6 for Liberty Conspiracy LIVE on RUMBLE AND X!
