Several people have been killed, and others suffered horrific burns after an implosion at a chemical plant in Washington state.

The blast was heard across Longview, about 50 miles north of Portland, Oregon, on Tuesday morning at the Nippon Dynawave Packaging Company.

Officials say an 80,000-gallon vat that was about 60% full caused the devastation around 7:18 a.m., inflicting chemical burns and other critical injuries on several people. Officials later said the vat contained "white liquor," a chemical combination of sodium hydroxide, sodium sulfide, and disodium carbonate.

They also confirmed that there were "fatalities related to the incident" without specifying a number, and that there were certain "individuals who remain unaccounted for." The dead will not be identified until after family members are notified, officials added.

A world on borrowed time

Debt is basically humanity's oldest magic trick: enjoying money today and praying your future self-figures it out later. From ancient Mesopotamian farmers borrowing grain on clay tablets to modern consumers financing a $90,000 pickup truck over seven years, the principle has not changed much. A loan is simply the official contract behind this beautiful act of financial optimism. The lender hands over the cash — called the principal — while the borrower promises to repay it with interest, otherwise known as the bank's "thank you for the risk" fee. Some loans are secured, meaning the bank can seize your house or car if things go badly, while unsecured loans rely entirely on your credit score and your ability to convincingly pretend you are financially responsible.

Interest Rate is basically the financial system's cover charge. Lenders want compensation because time passes, inflation destroys purchasing power, and borrowers occasionally vanish like Netflix passwords after a breakup. Low interest rates make borrowing cheap, inflate asset prices, and convince consumers that financing a luxury SUV for seven years is perfectly reasonable. High rates do the opposite: borrowing slows, bubbles deflate, and suddenly everyone remembers what a budget is.

Mamdani Releases "Block by Block: The Housing Plan for A New Era"

NYC socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani released "Block by Block: The Housing Plan for a New Era," which presents a sweeping, deeply troubling blueprint to tackle the metro area's deepening housing crisis.

Mamdani told the crowd:
When necessary, we will take aggressive legal action to remove negligent owners and property managers. And for buildings that have suffered chronic neglect, we work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards. Stewards include community land trusts, nonprofits, or even the tenants themselves.

An assessment of the accelerating timeline for "you will own nothing"

no data
I am an economist, first and foremost. I'm going to give you a sobering look at the progression of Technocracy and what to expect in the future. Take it for what it is. I have been following the global elite and Technocracy for over 48 years, and since my first book with Antony Sutton, Trilaterals Over Washington, Vols. I and II, I have never pulled any punches and never watered anything down. I have been warning for 12 years that the endgame was upon us. I gave you the receipts for my thinking. Time is running out... soon.

My epic new book, The New Economics of Technocracy: You Will Own Nothing, laid bare the structure, architecture, and strategy being used to dominate the world. My earlier book, co-authored with Courtenay Turner, was released in November 2025: The Final Betrayal: How Technocracy Destroyed America.

If you don't read these books, I can't help you. There will be no discussion. For those of you who have read these books already, you should tear into this essay with determined resolution to get to the bottom of it.

To the rest of America who have fought me tooth and nail for decades (from the left and right, you know who you are), I have only one final thing to say to you: "I told you so, and I was right." - Patrick Wood Editor.

UK net migration fall masks true demographic replacement as British exodus continues

Britain's left-wing government claims it has taken back control of the country's borders, but is this week's headline net migration figure telling the whole story?

The left-wing U.K. government has claimed it is making real progress in tackling the ongoing migration crisis enveloping Britain after official statistics published on Thursday showed that net migration had decreased to 171,000 last year. However, that figure alone doesn't tell the whole story.

"I promised to restore control to our borders. My government is delivering," under-pressure Prime Minister Keir Starmer wrote on X in response to the latest publication by the Office for National Statistics.

"Net migration is now at 171,000, down from a high of 944,000 under the Conservatives," added Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, claiming the government had "restored order" after the unprecedented figures under the last Conservative administration.

Yet, a glance at the broader figures shows the reported number isn't as impressive as the government would have you believe.

Comment: Migration (influx) is out of hand. 'Replacing Brits' (outflux) is an excuse.

A German school was forced to withdraw a sex-ed lesson after children aged 13 and 14 years old were given the classroom task of designing a "new brothel for all".

Children in an eighth-grade class at a Catholic high school in Kevelaer, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, were assigned the classwork of designing an inclusive brothel, including floor plans. The local Rheinische Postreported on the remarkable lesson plan on Wednesday, and news quickly spread nationwide, leading to the headmistress and mayor facing demands for explanations.

The worksheet, entitled 'The New Brothel For All!', asked students to consider key areas of modern "house of sexual pleasure" design, including "What sexual preferences need to be addressed and catered to?" "How should a brothel be designed from the outside so that it can be visited and desired by all kinds of people?" and "What should an advertisement for such a brothel look like?"

The hidden wealth transfer system buried beneath modern central banking and market bailouts.

The widening wealth inequality gap is the political third rail nobody in power truly ever wants to touch.

Politicians will scream at each other all day over taxes, healthcare, immigration, tariffs, student loans, climate policy, or whatever outrage is currently driving engagement on cable news and social media. But the second the conversation turns toward monetary policy, toward the machinery of money creation itself, the room suddenly gets very quiet.

That's because monetary policy has quietly become the single most powerful force reshaping wealth distribution in modern America. And unlike the endless partisan theater surrounding fiscal policy, monetary intervention oddly enjoys remarkable bipartisan support.

The worst fears around an unstable, increasingly high-temperature chemical plant in Orange County will fortunately not come to pass, fire officials announced Monday.

The Orange County Fire Authority said the threat of a massive chemical explosion has been "eliminated."

"The BLEVE is off the table," officials said, using the acronym for "boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion."

There had been worries that a rupture in the container filled with methyl methacrylate, as temperatures increased, could result in a devastating explosion as one of the possible scenarios.

Acceptable till it wasn't: Itamar Ben-Gvir and the Global Sumud Flotilla

flotilla captive
Ben-Gvir posted the footage on social media to document the detention of approximately 400 activists from the Global Sumud Flotilla. The activists were detained at the port of Ashdod after their humanitarian aid vessels, carrying supplies for Gaza, were intercepted in international waters. Photo credit: Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir
It has been a sorry though predictable exercise. When he lived up (or down) to expectations of atrocious conduct befitting the proud bigot that he is, Israel's Minister for National Security had to be seen as aberrant, the man who strayed, if only slightly. The conduct in question involved Itamar Ben-Gvir's posting of footage on social media mocking the fate of activists of the Global Sumud Flotilla who had made a failed humanitarian effort to break the blockade of Gaza. The activists, seized in international waters by Israeli forces off the coast of Cyprus, had been blindfolded, their hands bound, and forced to kneel on the floor at the Port of Ashdod.

The caption of the posted video featured the warming caption "Welcome to Israel." Ben-Gvir can be seen waving an Israeli flag, taunting the detainees with bellowing remarks. One bound man can be seen having to hear the words "The people of Israel live" shouted in his face.

Comment: Ben-Gvir's psychopathic behavior isn't an anomaly - its Israeli policy. What would really be impressive is if the leaders who expressed outrage at this latest incident (one of a very long list of horrible incidents), actually put some bite into their bark.

German taxpayers on the hook for mass migration costs of €40 billion in 2025

German taxpayers not only paid over €40 billion, but also face higher housing costs, more road traffic, crowded hospitals, growing insecurity, higher insurance premiums, and a host of other ills not officially tracked in this figure.

Migrants cost German taxpayers — just at the federal level — €24.8 billion in 2025, according to new data in the "refugee costs report" from the German Federal Ministry of Finance. However, the true sum is much higher.

The €24.8 billion is strictly the federal bill. The actual, combined national cost of migration for Germany is that €24.8 billion plus the massive, separate billions that the individual states and municipalities had to pull from their own local tax revenues to cover their own deficits brought on by mass immigration.
