+ Details on the Earthquake in Venezuela AND HOW to HELP!!!
Dear Subscribers,
Our top story this week is the earthquake in Venezuela. We have team and friends in Venezuela and understand there are over 40,000+ missing. Many buried under the rubble. Tens of thousands homeless in a country already ravaged by inflation and US sanctions. They need heavy equipment to move rubble ASAP. We have evaluated multiple charities that are providing support on the ground and have chosen to support: The House Project which already has multiple projects on-going in Venezuela. We Are featuring them as our Voluntaryist Charity Opportunity this week. You can donate here: https://thehouse-project.org/es/collections/donate
A quick update on Voluntaryism. I have begun working on the book again but got a little sidelined with a story I am dropping next week on Peter Thiel’s Dialog Society. Teaser: The “PayPal Mafia” is really the DARPA/ Military Industrial Complex Mafia!
I also placed an order for the first 500 copies of The Greatest Theft in History - How the Banks and “Government” Will Steal at Least $1.40 MILLION From the Typical American Worker... “Legally” this week which should hit our distribution center the week after the 4th of July!
We have recalculated the theft based on the new Reality Index, an alternative way of calculating inflation, which we will be featuring and explaining next week as well. In addition to recalculating based on the Reality Index, we also dropped the calculations around the lost purchasing power of the gold standard since many folks couldn’t wrap their heads around calculating the increased purchasing power that the benign deflation a gold standard would deliver. Our headline number dropped to $1.40 millions but makes the whole thing more understandable and defensible since we are using the BLS’s own numbers minus the shenanigans of “hedonic adjustment” and “substitution” with the Reality Index, etc. We already have an order for 200 copies from someone about to drop the BOMB on their community and expose the theft of “government!”

Two earthquakes in under a minute leave Venezuela facing its worst quake in more than a century
A 7.2 and 7.5 seismic doublet struck the northern coast Wednesday night. The official toll: at least 164 dead and 971 injured —but the number families still can’t reach runs far higher

It was just over forty seconds that separated the two earthquakes. The first, magnitude 7.2, was centered about 21 kilometers west of Morón, in the north of the country, around 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Before the ground had finished settling, a second quake —magnitude 7.5, the strongest recorded in Venezuela in more than a century— struck almost the same spot.
Experts call this phenomenon a seismic doublet: two earthquakes of very similar magnitude that occur within seconds of each other and very close together. The combination multiplied the damage and left thousands of people no time to react between one blow and the next.

250 Years of Taxation in America
The Stamp Act of 1765 was the first direct tax levied by Parliament on the colonies, which had no elected representatives in Parliament to approve or debate it
by Greg Reese - The Reese Report
The Stamp Act of 1765 was the first direct tax levied by Parliament on the colonies, which had no elected representatives in Parliament to approve or debate it. British Parliament later stated in the Declaratory Act that they had “full power and authority to make laws and statutes of sufficient force and validity to bind the colonies and people of America in all cases whatsoever.” According to the story, the American Revolution wasn’t about the size of the tax, it was about the right of Britain to impose taxes on the colonists without their consent.
From 1868 to 1913, 90 percent of federal tax revenue came from alcohol and tobacco taxes. In 1909, President Taft recommended that Congress propose a constitutional amendment to give the government power to tax incomes without apportioning the burden.

2026 National Health Care Fraud Takedown: The US Department of Justice charged 455 people across the country, including doctors, who allegedly submitted false claims to Medicare, Medicaid and other health care programs and collected a record $6.5 billion. The alleged fraud and criminal opioid abuse schemes “caused significant patient harm, including death.”
In one case in Arizona, a corporate executive allegedly took $1 billion in taxpayer funds after billing for wound grafts, charging more than $1 million per patient. Hospice patients were targeted and some of the skin graft surgeries were unnecessary! The money was reportedly used to buy million-dollar homes, luxury cars and even build a hotel in the Philippines.

Here is the replay from our June 14th LiveStream: From Isolation to Action - Finding (OR Creating!) The Freedom Movement in Your Area!
Liberty Group List at: ArtOfLiberty.org/Liberty-Groups/
Etienne: Hi, this is Etienne De La Boétie2 with the Art of Liberty Foundation. Welcome to our Sunday night live stream, which is something I think we’re going to begin doing more and more of. For those that aren’t familiar with the Art of Liberty Foundation, we are a startup public policy organization exposing the illegitimacy and the criminality of government. Essentially, our thesis is that government was never intended to protect life, liberty, and property. Government is best thought of as a technique for robbing and controlling society. And as voluntarists, we don’t believe that government is legitimate, desirable, or necessary. So we are advocates of something called real freedom, and there is a real freedom movement all around the world. In some cities and towns it is much stronger than others, but there are voluntarists and libertarian and freedom-oriented groups all around the United States.

Moderna reported 102 deaths in the mRNA group. mRNA products are not only not safe and not effective - this new FDA data reaffirms mRNA injections are often dangerously harmful and sometimes lethal.
by Karen Kingston - thekingstonreport.com
June 18, 2026: Moderna just announced that, “the FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) voted 9-0 that the benefits of mRNA-1010, Moderna’s investigational seasonal influenza vaccine, outweigh its risks for the prevention of influenza disease in adults 50 through 64 years of age and in adults 65 years of age and older.”
This is despite the fact that Moderna reported 102 deaths in the mRNA group and 97 deaths in the ‘enhanced vaccine’ group.
102 reported deaths out of 35,965 mRNA injected study participants equate to a 0.3% fatal adverse event (death) rate in less than a year of being injected.
Elon Musk’s SpaceX IPO Is Funded by Other People’s Pensions
An IPO engineered for rapid index inclusion turns ordinary pension savers into involuntary financiers of Elon Musk’s fantasies.
by Frank Hoffer-Social Europe
Elon Musk’s entrepreneurial career has always been a blend of unfulfilled promises and astonishing achievements. People are literally willing to take his fantasies and dreams at face value. Toyota sells six times as many cars as Tesla, yet Tesla is worth three times as much on the stock market as its Japanese rival.
With the IPO of SpaceX, however, the world’s first trillionaire has finally lost touch with reality. By 2055, a million people are to settle on Mars; vast data centres are to be built in space. That is pure science fiction. A market capitalisation of nearly $2 trillion is a bet on the future without any basis in reality. To justify such a price on conventional metrics, SpaceX would have to lift its AI revenue from $3.2 billion to $322 billion by 2030, multiply its total revenue 180-fold by 2040, and turn a $5 billion loss into $2.7 trillion in profits by 2040, so as to reach a market-standard ratio of market capitalisation, revenue and profit. The fact that numerous major banks and financial analysts are reported to consider such a scenario plausible says rather more about their business interests than about their analytical abilities.

Includes Hilarious Comparison of Obama’s 2015 Deal with Trump’s 2026 Deal
by SIMPLICIUS
It seems to be the usual arc of any imperial propaganda drive that when a conflict winds down, and the stakes are no longer at risk, the principles begin to loosen their hold on the truth evident to us all along.
In this case after the disastrous defeat to Iran, Trump went on a remarkable spree of honesty as pertains the “cards”—or rather, lack thereof—that the US had all along. A suddenly forthright Trump began letting the cat out of the bag on the catastrophic consequences the Iranian blockade had in store for us all.

A New Store in Hong Kong Has No Human Employees, Just a Single Humanoid Robot
Let’s see how “convenient” the store manages to be.
by Frank Landymore - Futurism
Sometimes we like convenience stores for their charm as much as their actual convenience.
Now, a new one popping up in Hong Kong is hoping to endear customers and crank up the novelty factor by having the whole thing be run by a single humanoid robot. The South China Morning Post reports that it’ll be the first of its kind to open in the bustling city.
Plopped on the Hung Hom waterfront, the 24-hour pop-up — packaged in a portable “capsule” — will be managed by “Xiao Gai,” a humanoid built by the Beijing-based AI and robotics firm Galbot. At five feet and six inches tall, it will use its gangly six feet of arm span to stock shelves, pick out out items, and handle customer checkouts, according to Inside Retail.

World-first ‘super alloy’ is 2x as strong as steel
Combining metals to produce alloys that are stronger or tougher requires extremely high temperatures as part of the process.
by Abhimanyu Ghoshal - New Atlas
Combining metals to produce alloys that are stronger or tougher requires extremely high temperatures as part of the process. Researchers in Australia recently found that a radically different approach could yield even better alloys with a lot less heat.
Engineers at Monash University have created the first ever large piece of Refractory High-Entropy Alloy (RHEA). This alloy is not only twice as strong as steel with a compressive yield strength of more than 2 gigapascals, but it’s also the result of a method that uses lower temperatures, and that could be easier and cheaper to scale.
The RHEA is composed of titanium, hafnium, tantalum, niobium and zirconium. Thanks to a slower heating process at a lower temperature than what you’d apply to melt metals in conventional alloy production, the atoms of these elements organized themselves into a strongly connected structure comprising three distinct components with nanocrystals in different periodic arrangements.
FDA Altered Autopsy Results of Children Who Died After COVID Vaccines
In November 2025, the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research identified 10 child deaths related to the COVID-19 shots.

Scientists at the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) revised the autopsy results of children who died after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, reducing the number of children the agency classified as having likely died as a result of their vaccination, according to documents released last week by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.).
The documents show that in November 2025, the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) identified 10 child deaths related to the COVID-19 shots. But in December 2025, it reduced the number to seven and downgraded the probability that those deaths were connected to the children’s vaccination.
BREAKING STUDY: COVID-19 Vaccination During Early Pregnancy Linked to Major Birth Defects
A newly published registry-based has reported higher rates of certain congenital anomalies among babies born to mothers who received a COVID-19 vaccine during the first trimester of pregnancy.
by Nicolas Hulscher, MPH- Focal Points
A newly published registry-based cohort study has reported higher rates of certain congenital anomalies among babies born to mothers who received a COVID-19 vaccine during the first trimester of pregnancy.
They analyzed 1,352 pregnancies and compared women vaccinated during the critical organogenesis period (conception through 11 weeks and 6 days) with women who were either unvaccinated or vaccinated later in pregnancy.
The study found that atrioventricular septal defects (AVSD)—a serious congenital heart defect involving holes between the heart’s chambers—were observed in 2.3% of babies whose mothers were vaccinated during the first trimester, compared with 0% among babies of unvaccinated mothers.

Israeli foreign agent took over The Charlie Kirk Show days after his killing
Charlie Kirk’s media empire and his right-wing activist organization, Turning Point USA (TPUSA), have come under the control of the Israel-directed forces he spent his last months antagonizing
By Max Blumenthal - The Grayzone
The Charlie Kirk Show is now distributed by a federally registered agent of Israel tasked with seeding American media with Zionist propaganda. It is part of a whopping $46 million dollar annual contract between the Israeli government and Brad Parscale, the former chief of staff for Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign. This may be the largest lobbying contract in the history of foreign influence operations in the US.
On September 10, 2025, Kirk was assassinated during the first stop on his American Comeback Tour at Utah Valley State University. Eight days later, Parscale registered as a foreign agent of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, assuming responsibility for a propaganda blitz “tailored to Gen Z audiences across platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, podcasts, and other relevant digital and broadcast outlets.”
SpaceX’s Starfall capsule could make military supply drops from space

Israel’s ‘deliberate targeting’ of children part of ongoing Gaza ‘genocide’: UN probe
Israel is deliberately targeting Palestinian children in what has become a key factor in an ongoing “genocide” in Gaza, United Nations investigators charged on Tuesday, in a report slammed by Israel.

Israel is deliberately targeting Palestinian children in what has become a key factor in an ongoing “genocide” in Gaza, United Nations investigators charged on Tuesday, in a report slammed by Israel.

This, it said, was a key factor in establishing “the genocidal intent of the Israeli authorities and security forces to destroy the larger Palestinian group in Gaza”.

Five-minute walk offsets the harm of sitting too long
Regular ‘exercise snacks’ boost mood and reduce fatigue without affecting work performance, according to US researchers
By Michael Searles - The Telegraph
A five-minute “exercise snack” every hour can offset the damage of sitting down for long periods, researchers have said.
Walking or moving for five minutes at regular intervals boosted mood, reduced fatigue, and did not affect work performance, a large study revealed.
The health benefits of getting up from an office desk every so often were already known, but this was the first study to test how often five-minute walking breaks should be taken and the respective effect.
Authors, led by Columbia University in New York, said that adults in high-income countries now spend 11 to 12 hours per day sitting down or “sedentary”, which equates to “three-quarters of the waking day”.

Tinder’s Secret War: How Israel used the Dating App in the Propaganda Battle for South Lebanon
Beyond physical attacks, Israel is intensifying psychological warfare against southern Lebanon through operations on the world’s most popular tech platforms.
By Jennifer Kings - MintPress News
As Israel intensifies attacks on Lebanon and seeks to entrench its occupation of southern Lebanese territory despite repeated ceasefire violations, another front of the war is coming into focus: psychological operations conducted through some of the world’s most popular technology platforms.
In August 2024, the United States military ran ads on Tinder in Lebanon to discourage users from joining the resistance against the continued Israeli genocidal assault on the country – demonstrating the full spectrum of the Zionist military strategy.
Backed financially, politically and militarily by the United States – Israel has long aimed to engulf Lebanon with desires to reoccupy the South along with regular bombardments on civilian areas.

PorcFest, the annual festival of the Free State Project kicks off next week in New Hampshire. Usually the event is held at Rogers Campground in Lancaster, NH. Here is a summary I did from 2023, this year it is distributed with events all over New Hampshire. Here are some of the ones that look the most interesting. If you ever wanted to check out New Hampshire then drive up and kick around for a weekend or two. You definitely want to check out: The Quill, the oldest Porcupine clubhouse in the State. ManCamp is great for teaching your kids the basics of blacksmithing, butchering, and other things every man should know + they are hosting a Bardo Farms Pig Roast. Visit the beach, spend a day at a lake, have a blast. The complete schedule is at : https://community.fsp.org/porcfest/
