Your Sunday News Assembly, for 6-7-26!


Listen Later

Welcome, fellow Conspirators!

We hope your weekend is going well! As we go to print, the net is abuzz with the word that US “Intelligence Threat Assessors” as the Pentagram see Israel as the top “critical” threat to the safety of US intelligence and secrecy. Obviously, this is laughably late, it’s obvious, and it might inspire more than a few observers to wonder why the information was spread NOW, as both the House and Senate push bills that would integrate US and Israeli military projects (the NDAA Sec 224 in the House) and US and Israeli Intel projects, in Section 622 of the “Intelligence Authorization Act”. This appears to be a signal from inside, perhaps from people who would like to offer more evidence of Israeli malfeasance, as a way to push back against these two (House and Senate) proposals. Likely, this leak will not change anything… Here is the link to start things off, and then, it’s off to the proverbial “races” as we dive into the other big news!

As always, please feel free to read all, or just portions, of the Assembly, to leave and return, and to SHARE the internal links and the whole release! Be sure to head to Rumble or Gardner’s X at 6 PM eastern each M-F for the news, from Liberty Conspiracy LIVE! We hope to provide as much big info for freedom fighters as we can!! ALSO, check out the new Former Star Trek Writing Fellow Channels - On YT, and on Rumble!

**AND feel free to leave a comment at the bottom of the Assembly, and you also can donate to help the Liberty Conspiracy, itself! Just visit PayPal to help out!

And now, as Mario and Luigi might say, “Let’s-a-GO!!

WARIRAN

In this first week of June, alone, the US conducted “self-defense” strikes on Iranian radar sites and a facility on Qeshm Island near the Strait of Hormuz, plus an oil tanker. Iran responded with ballistic missiles and drones targeting US bases and facilities in Kuwait and Bahrain, claiming hits on US airbases and the Fifth Fleet headquarters. Most incoming projectiles were intercepted, with no major US casualties reported, but sirens sounded in Kuwait City and Bahrain condemned the “hostile” attacks. The UAE, Qatar, and others denounced the strikes. LINK And ANTIWAR notes that, although the US has engaged in kinetic strikes, Trump doesn’t consider this “fighting”. Headline “Report: Trump Tells Aides He May Restart Full-Scale Bombing Against Iran If US Troops Are Killed - News From Antiwar.com” LINK

While the Trump Admin postures and burns our tax cash, Iran has full operational control of the Strait of Hormuz

But what is one to make of this? We last month noted that Iranian exports were roughly the same as they were in the first quarter of 2025, but that, since the price of oil was higher, Iran made more money. We will research this in more detail for Monday

LEBANON

This is just one man offering this view, but, given the wholesale dismissal by the Lebanese government of the rights of Lebanese people south of the Litani River, and given the importance of Hezbollah in defending those people, this makes sense.

THE WEST BANK

RUSSIA-UKRAINE

The war remains grinding. Ukraine conducted audacious strikes on St. Petersburg (June 3), targeting a navy base and oil terminal during Putin’s economic forum, prompting shelter-in-place orders. Russia launched large-scale missile/drone barrages on Ukraine, killing civilians in Kyiv region and Kherson. A June 5 prisoner swap exchanged 185 each. Putin rejected Zelenskyy’s open-letter proposal for face-to-face talks, calling it “rude” and insisting Russia will win. Oh, and that great UK hero for the Arms industry there, Kier Starmer, will meet with Zelinsky. How wonderful! LIN

IMMIGREATION POLICE STATE

The Trump administration’s anti-constitutional and immoral immigration enforcement has faced significant legal pushback and street-level resistance in recent weeks. On Friday June 5, U.S. District Judge John McConnell in Rhode Island blocked key Trump policies freezing work permits, green cards, citizenship applications, and other benefits for noncitizens from 39 countries targeted by travel bans. The 135-page ruling vacated the policies as arbitrary and unlawful, noting that applicants had followed rules but were targeted based on nationality. Hundreds of thousands of pending cases could now proceed. LINK
AND WE MISSED THIS AT THE END OF MAY! - The Supreme Court on May 26, reversed a lower-court decision and re-limited immigration judges’ free-speech lawsuit over restrictions on public statements and lectures. In an unsigned opinion, the justices criticized the Fourth Circuit’s handling and sent the case back to lower courts. Until that is adjudicated through each level of the courts, Trump will be able to place virtual gag orders on judges who might comment on US policy when they are outside of the court. Astounding. Scroll down in this link to find the story. LINK
And, I want to be certain that I bring back thoughts on Markwayne Mullen’s vile appearance on Cap Hill this last week… Recall - During a June 2 Senate Appropriations subcommittee hearing, Mullin repeatedly declined to commit to following court orders that conflict with administration policy. When pressed by Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), Mullin stated the agency would “never break the Constitution” or the law but questioned court politicization: “If we didn’t think courts were politicized, then I would probably be able to answer that.” Murphy warned that Republicans and Democrats should be “really, really freaked out.” Mullin has also faced criticism over plans to potentially halt international flight processing at sanctuary-city airports (e.g., Newark, New York, Los Angeles) in response to local resistance.

US ECONOMY

The US economy is flashing warning signs of slowdown amid high energy costs, softening consumer sentiment, and corporate caution. CEO confidence plunged to 47 in Q2 2026 (Conference Board survey), with 47% reporting conditions worse than six months prior and expecting further weakening. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon warned of a “weakening” economy that could tip into recession, citing job growth at just 29,000 over three months (down from 105,000 previously) and unemployment edging to 4.3%. LINK

REMEMBER THE LIBERTY

On June 8, 2026—the 59th anniversary of the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty (killing 34 Americans, wounding 171)—Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) will deliver a House floor speech memorializing the crew. He announced via X that survivors will join him in the gallery and urged viewers to watch on C-SPAN. Massie described the assault as unprovoked. The event remains controversial, with official inquiries citing mistaken identity but survivors and some officials alleging otherwise. Massie has long highlighted the incident amid broader Israel-policy debates.

CANADA - FREEDOM OF SPEECH

As the subhead notes, ‘Radical Bill C-9 now goes back to Canada’s House of Commons, which already passed it in March, for a final vote on amendments before becoming law.’ - Headline: “Canada’s Senate passes anti-Christian ‘Bible ban’ Bill C-9 – Sign of the Cross Media” LINK

CULTURE

What do you make of this? Not only was Ms. Kinski thirteen at the time, her strange FATHER allowed it. Headline: “Wim Wenders apologizes to legendary actress over child nudity — RT Entertainment” LINK

That’s it for text-based links! Now, let’s explore VIDEOS!

FIRST!

This, from Mario Nawfal, is a fascinating take on the US actions to provoke Iran into closing the Strait of H. Much like the Rand Corporation’s 2019 document recommending that the US draw Europe into an exo-proxy war with Russia via Ukraine in order to see the European productivity index crash and the Dollar relatively made to look more promising than the Euro, the Mark, Pound, etc., , Mario’s guest descriptively outlines (he does not necessary promote the idea as moral or constructive) how the US might be trying to work a ‘relative advantage’ scenario out of the oil crisis the US attacks on Iran have caused.

SECOND!

As usual Consortium News nails key point about Ukraine-Russia and the Middle East - Check it out!!

FINALLY! Here is KILLING JOKE, from their 25th Anniversary concert, cued to “Total Invasion” and striking the note of anarchist Auberon Herbert that all it takes for the state to end its tyranny on individuals is for individuals themselves to stop waiting for others to step away from the state.

As the woman in the audio echoes, “As far as, going up against the government — as long as the whole country did it, I guess…” As Killing Joke notes, it’s not a time to WAIT

NEVER GIVE UP!

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!

…Or feel free to get “Bite” for a different take on vampirism, and “Wall” for a cryptoarcheological adventure set in 1960s China. And I have three novels and two more novellas in their final editing phases, soon to be on the way!
