On an official level at least, Oman remains a close strategic partner and key ally of the United States in the Middle East; however, that relationship has been severely strained this month amid apparent Iranian-Omani cooperation regarding a potential toll system for the Strait of Hormuz. This of course flies in the face of the US posture in the region.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is the latest top Trump admin official to chastize Oman: “The United States Government will not tolerate any effort to impose a tolling system in the Strait of Hormuz,” he said on X Thursday.

“Oman, in particular, should know that the U.S. Treasury will aggressively target any actors involved – directly or indirectly – in facilitating tolls for the Strait and any willing partners will be penalized,” Bessent continued. “All nations should reject outright any efforts by Iran to disrupt the free flow of commerce. Tehran’s days of terrorizing the region and the world are over.”

Summary

• Per Axios: “U.S. and Iranian negotiators have reached an agreement on a 60-day memorandum of understanding to extend the ceasefire and launch negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program, but President Trump has yet to give it his final approval.”
• Unconfirmed reports of Ayatollah denial of MOU.
• Saudi state media reports Pakistan is seeking to convince Washington to allow transfer of Iran’s highly enriched uranium to China (Al Hadath).
• Iran launches ballistic missile on US base in Kuwait, which was reportedly intercepted by Kuwaiti forces.
• Fresh launch is retaliation for prior evening’s skirmish involving US intercepting Iranian drones, and targeting coastal launch location.
• Stalled talks still stuck on nuclear issue: Iran insists it will keep its enriched uranium as a matter of national soveriegnty.

Problem is (for me anyway) it’s hard to discern if this is nefarioius activity or normal activity?? What does seem clear is that they stumbled onto something that doesn’t appear ready for public consumption — the result being that everyone here should read this to figure out what’s happening……… if clarity arrives as you stumble through the information, please share with everyone at the tent via the comments section.

This is definately NOT something that is going to be found via the media – either MSM or Alt News. It’s fascinating that it got published at all!!

When authorities tell you to be afraid of a virus, your mind can make symptoms real, even when no pathogen exists. This is not conspiracy theory; it’s documented science, and it has been weaponized against the public for decades.

The nocebo effect — the evil twin of the placebo — is the key to understanding how pandemics are manufactured as psychological operations. The word “nocebo” means “I will harm” in Latin, and that’s exactly what this phenomenon does: it turns negative expectations into real physical harm.

Within a day after unleashing a devastating flurry of Monday airstrikes on Lebanon, Israeli ground forces have aggressively expanded the theater of operations inside Lebanon, violating a status quo by sending IDF ground troops across the “Yellow Line” which was established at the inception of the ceasefire.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Tuesday that Israel is “intensifying operations” in Lebanon by taking strategic positions deeper into the country with a wave of offensives north of the Litani River.

There doesn’t seem to be much coverage of this via MSM ……….

Food stamps and food pantries are intended to keep struggling Americans fed. What we found is that, in some communities, that food never reaches an American table. Instead, it gets shipped overseas and sold for profit.

The scheme works like this. Residents in cities like Lawrence, Massachusetts collect food through two channels: purchasing it at local markets using EBT cards, and picking it up for free from food banks and churches. That food is then packed into large blue barrels, dropped off at shipping companies, and sent by container ship to the Dominican Republic. Once it arrives, it is sold for profit in local stores. The people doing this see nothing wrong with it. In many cases, they do it openly.

According to a local that assisted us with this story, this fraud has been happening for over a decade.

Over the course of several weeks, Muckraker Foundation traced the full pipeline from food pantry lines in Lawrence, Massachusetts, through shipping warehouses in New York, to store shelves in Santo Domingo. This is what we found.

GOOD! We need consequences where it hurts!

“Why are we processing international flights into the airport there? And we are currently, which we’re not issuing it yet, but we’re currently drawing up plans to say, listen — in these sanctuary cities where the local radical left Democrats aren’t allowing us to do our job and enforce federal laws, then we shouldn’t be processing international flights into their cities either, because they don’t want us to enforce immigration, but they want us to process immigration at their facilities!

The book on the globalist fiat system has been written and the world is in the final chapter.  It can play out in either a devastating, uncontrolled hyper inflation, like Weimar Germany, or in a controlled massive revaluation of the gold(and silver) price.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  The later is the better solution because it would include a return to a gold standard, and should include measures to assist the citizenry in the transition.  This week is likely to be the last, best time, to get out of fiat and into precious metals.

On Monday President Vladimir Putin signed a law that effectively wipes clean up to 10 million rubles (approximately $140,000) in unpaid debt for new military recruits and their spouses, at a moment Russia needs more manpower to keep up its grinding ‘special military operation’ in Ukraine.

The debt exemption applies to any Russian citizen who signs a minimum one-year contract with the military to serve in Ukraine after May 1, 2026. The economic amnesty explicitly extends to an enlisted member’s spouse as well – making it more attractive to struggling families.

Regulation follows regulation. On August 12, the so-called EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) will enter into force, reorganizing the recycling framework for packaging across Europe. The PPWR will replace the current patchwork of national packaging recycling laws with a unified framework for the EU single market. Until then, Germany’s existing Packaging Act (VerpackG) remains in effect.

The PPWR is one of the building blocks of the Green Deal, which seeks to lead the EU economy toward a carbon-neutral future through an increasingly detailed and expansive regulatory architecture covering national recycling efforts as well as sector-specific initiatives. The PPWR forces such firms to hire local authorized representatives or specialized service providers to manage registration, documentation, and communication with local authorities in detail in order to oversee the packaging recycling process. 

Petty, exhausting, and expensive, Euro-bureaucracy is steadily eroding Europe’s competitiveness and turning private-sector investment into a gamble. The idea of the free market — namely that consumer demand for cleaner and more environmentally friendly production and logistics can be expressed through competition itself, one of civilization’s greatest achievements — appears to have largely vanished within today’s EU.

https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/eu-packaging-rules-create-another-bureaucratic-monster

I am curious — will these new regulations be applied to businesses outside the EU and thus used to stop shipments INTO the EU that do not comply with the new packaging regulations?  OR … Is this additional expense & gutting of competitiveness aimed solely at EU based companies? 

Summary

• Iran only having ‘indirect’ US contacts while asserting that enriched uranium is ‘off the table’ for negotiations: state TV says Tehran has a draft of the initial unofficial framework for MOU with US.
• IRGC keeping up the rhetoric: warns that Iran would “turn the area from Chabahar to Mahshahr into a graveyard for aggressors” if the ceasefire collapses.
• CENTCOM: “Clearly the Iranians are trying to hedge their bets here and put more pressure on the US.”
• Iranian president: “The main battleground today is the economic war.“
• Tabriz International Airport in northwestern Iran– which sustained heavy damage from airstrikes during the peak of the aerial bombings – is officially operational again, bringing restored airports to 20 reopened.

DOES THIS LOOK BULLISH OR BEARISH ?

The case stemmed from a two-hour lecture organised by the Nationalistische Studentenvereniging Leuven on the topic of “regenerative agriculture”.

Dries Van Langenhove — I have just been convicted a second time for ‘hate speech’ and it is only due to a technicality that I could not immediately be sent to jail —to the judge’s frustration.

In February 2024 I gave a lecture at Catholic University Leuven wherein I linked mass migration to crime and a deterioration of our quality of life. Every single point I made was 100% the truth and based on scientific evidence.

Cynically, even the judge that convicted me admits as much by writing in his verdict: “Even if all of the statements made by Van Langenhove are based on scientific evidence and statistics, it makes no difference to the criminal intent. Van Langenhove is not charged with spreading false information. He is charged with presenting facts in a way that incites hatred against persons on the grounds of one or more of the protected criteria in the Anti-Racism Law.”

That’s a lot of words just to say he wants to send me to prison for speaking the truth.

Even the regime media write:

“It did not matter to the court that Van Langenhove was quoting scientific sources. The judge argued that Van Langenhove’s main message was that a big part of the societal problems like insecurity, housing shortages and lowering educational standards are due to mass migration.”

If you live in a country that still has free speech, never let them touch it, however noble they make the motives sound, because this is where it leads to.

First and foremost, Cea Weaver and DSA ‘organizers’ will be unleashed with the full institutional and legal support of the city government to ramp up tenant complaints in targeted buildings. No complaint will be too small. No building will be too small. Everything will be treated as catastrophic. Full-scale demagoguery will ensue, complete with protests, rent strikes, street theater, and harassment of property owners.

Finally — something positive to report from the Carney government!

Every ruling class in history has insisted that its system was permanent, lawful, and inevitable. Every empire claimed civilization. Every monarchy claimed divine right. Every colonial regime claimed order. Every capitalist state claims democracy while wealth and power remain concentrated in the hands of a tiny ownership class. Yet history moves anyway. Systems collapse anyway. The masses intervene anyway.

The greatest lie ever told by ruling classes is not simply that their rule is good. It is that their rule is necessary.

The people of a nation do not need permission from oligarchs, billionaires, foreign powers, corporations, banks, or imperial institutions to change their political and economic system. Human beings created these systems. Human beings can dismantle them.
