People often wonder about the origins of the civil world. Few, if any, have ever reached conclusions. Civilization begins in the imagination of gifted men. To make progress individuals must imagine the relationship between the physical world, the timing of events, and the control/influence they have of the world around them. It is in these subjective perspectives where value is created out of seemingly valueless items. It is in the mind of the individual where a unique perspective/insight gives rise to goods once considered useless into goods of value.

Carl Menger the founder of the Austrian School of economics wrote,
When a hunting people is passing over to sedentary agriculture, land and materials that were not previously used and are now employed for the first time for the satisfaction of human needs (lime, sand, timber, and stones for building, for example) usually maintain their non-economic character for some time after the transition has begun. It is therefore not the limited quantities of these goods that prevents economizing men in the first stages of civilization from making progress in the employment of goods of higher orders for the satisfaction of their needs.
The original limiting factor is the knowledge of the causal relationship and how it can satisfy human wants.

Former Justice Department prosecutor Carmen Mercedes Lineberger has been indicted for allegedly removing confidential Justice Department material and then concealing her efforts. Lineberger is accused of secretly transferring Jack Smith's final report and hiding the material under files labeled "chocolate cake recipe" and "bundt cake recipe." There has not been a greater recipe for disaster since aides tried to fit all of Biden's candles on a cake. The case is particularly interesting because there was another person who was accused of a secret removal of Justice Department material who was not prosecuted: former FBI Director James Comey.

Linebarger, 62, of Port St. Lucie, Florida, has been indicted on four criminal charges: one felony count of obstruction of justice, one felony count of concealing government records and two misdemeanor counts of theft of government property valued at less than $1,000.

According to the indictment, Lineberger altered electronic file names of government records to conceal unauthorized transmissions of the documents to her personal email accounts and used file names for cake recipes to conceal her possession of the confidential information.

Multiple states begin removing illegal immigrants from subsidized healthcare

illegal alien free health care
© Rich Pedroncelli/APSupporters of proposals to expand California’s government-funded health care benefits to undocumented immigrants gather on May 20, 2019, in Sacramento.
The political left often betrays their true agenda in the legislation they choose to oppose. The SAVE Act, for example, would require proof of citizenship to vote in US elections; a law which the majority of countries around the world enforce. It's widely supported by around 80% of the public, yet, Democrats stubbornly refuse to pass it.

Why? Because they know there are illegal immigrants voting in their favor, and they know that mail-in ballot fraud exists and often benefits them.

By extension, Democrats aggressively attempted to block Trump Administration efforts to ensure that illegal immigrants could not receive healthcare subsidies. Their argument was that "no illegals actually access those subsidies". Of course, if this was true, then it should not matter if Trump adds such restrictions - According to Dems, nothing would change.

Border czar Homan: Sanctuary jurisdictions must comply or face more ICE boots on the ground

Federal law enforcement agents confront anti-ICE protesters during a demonstration outside the Bishop Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on January 15, 2026.
Sanctuary jurisdictions in the United States will see more Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel on the ground if they do not allow local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE officers, border czar Tom Homan said in a May 15 interview with the Daily Signal.

In the interview, Homan was specifically asked about New York. In January, the state's governor, Kathy Hochul, proposed the Local Cops, Local Crimes Act, which bars state and local law enforcement agencies from signing or maintaining any Section 287(g) agreements with ICE.

Such agreements authorize ICE to delegate certain immigration functions to local and state officers under the agency's oversight. Local and state officers can detain suspected illegal immigrants under the deal.

If passed, the New York bill would void all existing Section 287(g) agreements in the state. Homan said in the interview that he had talked to Hochul about the consequences.

I am the Minister of National Security of the State of Israel. In 2007, I was convicted of incitement to racism and support for a terrorist organization.

I tell you the second fact first because I want you to hold it in your mind for everything that follows.

Last week I visited Ashdod port. Four hundred people were kneeling on the ground. Hands bound behind their backs. Foreheads to the concrete. They came from forty countries on fifty boats. Three hundred tons of cargo in the holds. Medicine. Baby formula. Surgical supplies. Bandages.

Among the kneeling: a doctor from Ireland. The sister of a president. A retired ship captain. A parliamentarian's aide. Foreheads to my concrete. Wrists bound with my zip ties. Called terrorists by my loudspeaker. Every one of them carried medicine. Not one of them carried a weapon.

Three dead, nearly 20 New Mexico first responders hospitalized after exposure to 'unknown substance' during overdose call

Three people are dead, and nearly 20 first responders in New Mexico were hospitalized for exposure to an "unidentified substance" on Wednesday, according to authorities.

New Mexico State Police arrived at a residence in Mountainair around 11:00 a.m. to assist the Torrance County Sheriff's Office with a suspected overdose involving an unknown substance.

After entering the home, cops grimly discovered four unidentified people unresponsive. Three of the four people have since died, authorities added.

Eighteen first responders who arrived at the property were exposed to the substance and began experiencing symptoms, including nausea and dizziness, police said.

Comment: Authorities seem to be completely baffled by whatever caused this emergency:
Authorities have ruled out carbon monoxide and natural gas poisoning but have yet to identify the substance.

"We just don't know what it is. Is it fentanyl? Is it some kind of other drug? Is it some kind of chemical? That's the million-dollar question right now that we don't have answers to," Nieto said.

The mayor noted that the house involved was not known as a problem property.

"That house is not a problem house at all. That is nothing on our radar. That's not one of our known drug houses by any means," he said.

Unanimous Supreme Court ruling: Freight brokers can be sued for negligently hiring illegal alien and unqualified foreign drivers

In a unanimous 9-0 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court just ruled that freight brokers can be held personally liable for negligently hiring dangerous trucking companies, including those flooding our highways with illegal aliens and unqualified foreign drivers who can't even speak English, let alone follow CDL regulations!

Justice Amy Coney Barrett delivered the opinion in Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II, LLC, confirming that federal law does NOT shield these greedy middleman brokers from state negligence lawsuits.

The case stems from a horrific 2017 crash in Illinois where trucker Shawn Montgomery lost part of his leg after being smashed by a carrier hired by freight giant C.H. Robinson.

Comment: And just like that the problem is starting to be fixed. Threaten a bottom line and see how fast a company can move:

South Africa's farming crisis may trigger food shortages across the continent

abandoned dairy farm south africa land reform
The abandoned remnants of the milking parlour at Ponderosa dairy farm near Ixopo, which was purchased as a land reform project in 2008.
For decades South Africa has operated as the breadbasket for half of the African continent, and the vast majority of that food was grown by white farmers (Boers and Afrikaners). In other words, the very survival of Africans has long been dependent on the hard labor of the white people they are taught to despise.

South Africa has around 142 race-based laws which largely discriminate against white citizens, especially when property, business and government office is involved. The Expropriation Act of 2024 allows the socialist government to confiscate any land of their choosing to "redress past discriminatory laws or practices" (land owned by white citizens). This is part of a project to "fulfill land reform goals" (transfer wealth and farming operations to black citizens).

The problem is, when land is seized or forced into sale to black owners, farming production reportedly collapses. That is to say, once the white farmers are gone, crop yields fail and the black owners often resell the land and leave. In other cases, the new owners allow the land to languish, using the homes for living but never cultivating the surrounding property.

Comment: Turning productive farmland over to those who have no idea how to farm produced the expected results:

"Digital enslavement" is a subtle weapon of social subordination and global control

In a recent Buddhist retreat in Lima, Peru, about 200 participants were urged to abstain for the three-day retreat from our enslavement screens, "smart" phones, computers and television.

Difficult to say how many really followed the advice, but many did.

What was amazing is that during the first day, ignoring constant phone notifications was not easy for the many. But consciously resisting it made it easier. And the following days, we were hardly thinking of them anymore. The days were filled with meditation and different types of spiritual exercises... the digital age was peacefully removed into a corner.

Unfortunately, after the retreat, the hide-out corner became lively again and took up again most of our attention, in "angst" of what we may have missed during the highly divine retreat. Spirituality must have gradually evaporated again... and what we call "reality" kicked in.

Interestingly, what we call "reality" is a fake, indoctrinated reality. Over years we were told that technical advances, or as the World Economic Forum (WEF's) Great Reset calls it, The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) is a concept describing how emerging technologies are blurring the lines between the physical, digital, and biological worlds. It fundamentally alters how we live, work, and relate to one another.

"Any responsible local politician could provide her with enough examples from their own city to prove the opposite," a former SPD member chimed in.

Labor Minister and Social Democratic Party (SPD) co-leader Bärbel Bas (SPD) says nobody is immigrating to Germany to take advantage of its social welfare system. However, she has received substantial pushback directed at her claim.

Bas' comment came during a session of the Bundestag, when AfD MP René Springer asked Bas why she wasn't cutting spending on immigration due to the current budget crisis, given the clear burden it is putting on social welfare, a situation that is making German taxpayers increasingly angry.
