Meta says it’s facing $1.4T in penalties in teen mental health case — a sum equal to tech giant’s valuation
If four of the states suing Meta for allegedly fueling a teen mental health crisis prevail in their case, the company will be on the hook for a whopping $1.4 trillion in penalties, Meta says — a figure the tech giant blasted as “outlandish.” The Mark Zuckerberg-led company arrived at the gigantic sum — which is nearly as large as the company’s entire market cap — based on how the attorneys general of California, Colorado, Kentucky and New Jersey have argued penalties should be calculated if they win the case. The two sides are scheduled to face off in Oakland federal court on Aug. 18. “A sanction of that size has no analog in the history of consumer protection enforcement,” Meta’s attorneys wrote in the late Monday filing, adding that the states’ proposals were “unsubstantiated” and “outlandish.” A total of 29 states are attached to the lawsuit against Meta, which accuses the company of major violations of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. The legislation bars the collection of data from underage users without parental consent. Source: nypost.com
A new analysis by Always On Energy Research and the Institute for Energy Research concludes that renewable energy mandates and net-zero policies have contributed to higher electricity prices in states that adopted them, while states with fewer climate-related mandates generally have lower electricity costs.

“Is America Now a Threat?” — Europe’s Therapy Night The emergency meeting was surreal and its topic unthinkable — the WSJ’s own words, not ours.
There Is No Going Back: The Inside Story of Europe’s Rupture With America — Wall Street Journal
Five hours behind closed doors in Brussels. European intelligence agencies warning their capitals that this White House runs on “a single volatile individual,” not process.
A fallback plan for NATO in case Trump walks. Barbara’s read: what the Journal describes isn’t an alliance in crisis — it’s the old imperial order realizing the United States won’t carry it anymore, and organizing itself accordingly. The question is what America does about a “partner” that now plans for us as a threat.
Ankara: Trump and Erdogan’s Summit Susan’s take: this wasn’t really a NATO summit — it was Donald Trump and Erdogan, and everybody else watching.
US to lift Turkey sanctions, decide on sale of F-35 fighter jets — The Jerusalem Post
Why did Trump even go? Erdogan.
Turkey stayed out of the Iran war, kept clear of Israel, and is positioned to help end the war in Ukraine. At their joint press conference Trump said the F-35 sale is “certainly something we will consider” and announced sanctions on Turkey will be lifted — with Netanyahu publicly urging him not to sell.
Susan on what the Erdogan flank means, plus the Russia front: the signs Moscow has dropped the attrition game and is moving — and why Russia wants Trump, and only Trump, to settle it.
And this from the latest Promethean Action email newsletter:
This week, Europe said the quiet part in print.
The Wall Street Journal just published the inside story of a five-hour emergency session at European Council headquarters in Brussels — participants called it “therapy night” — where the leaders of Europe wrestled with a question they’d never dared ask out loud: is America now a threat?
Mark Carney’s message to the room:
“The old America isn’t coming back.” Barbara and Susan’s read: this isn’t NATO breaking down — it’s the old order breaking away. The EU, Britain, and Carney’s Canada are regrouping against Trump’s America, and this week they admitted it.
This Thursday, Barbara Boyd and Susan Kokinda connect the week’s fronts: the WSJ’s inside story of Europe’s rupture with America — the “therapy night,” the fallback plan for NATO, and why there’s “no going back,” Ankara: why the NATO summit was really Trump and Erdogan’s show — F-35s on the table, sanctions lifted, and Netanyahu objecting, the real dynamic: the old order — EU, Britain, and Canada — versus the sovereign United States, and Russia’s shift in Ukraine — off the attrition game and moving, as Moscow signals it wants Trump to settle the war.

- So much is boiling back to the top including 2020 election treason, arrest of Comey, Seth Rich, NATO and Ukraine foreign legion, mass illegal immigrations, surveillance, desired false flags maybe Poland, Latvia and so forth
- We need to continue to focus on winning the war - knowing history such as Operation Gladio, American System and deep state obfuscation weapons helps greatly

PUTIN CALLS OUT GEORGE SOROS BY NAME.
Russian President Vladimir Putin claims billionaire financier George Soros has spent years influencing political affairs around the world.
Putin argued that when questions are raised about Soros's activities, U.S. officials distance themselves by describing them as the actions of a private individual rather than official American policy.
"There is a figure in the United States, Mr. Soros, who interferes in all the affairs of the world," Putin said.
He went on to suggest that even when Soros's alleged influence is discussed in financial and political circles, governments deny any direct involvement.
Soros remains one of the most polarising figures in global politics and critics argue his foundations have exerted significant influence over political movements and policy debates around the world. 🌍https://x.com/ultrarrow/status/2073942542819717474/video/1
The funniest part of the MSNBC report about the issue is their claim that Pulte has not been in office long enough to know who the Deep State embeds are. “I have a real question of how he would know this. This isn’t a guy who is familiar with intelligence,” said the former official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, citing concerns about retaliation. “How is he going to get to the bottom of this and rely on any information with a matter of fidelity? It would be like me taking over a hospital and firing dozens of surgeons in a matter of days.” {source}
How could Pulte possibly know who to fire, they lament. The likelihood of former DNI Tulsi Gabbard and current CIA Director John Ratcliffe coordinating with ADNI Bill Pulte to clean house, just isn’t something all these former intelligence officials can fathom.

Roberts CAUGHT in $20,000,000 Scandal!!
While the media remains silent, Neil Johnson says he's digging into the receipts that show how Roberts may have betrayed the Constitution to serve institutional interests.
In this video, I break down the shocking connection between these payments and a controversial 14th Amendment ruling that effectively rewrites American citizenship. Roberts and Barrett didn’t just miss the point—they’ve handed the keys to the country to anyone who crosses the border, ignoring the original intent of the framers. We’re exposing the corruption trail, from secret FISA court appointments to the millions in "commissions" funneled through elite law firms. But we aren't just complaining; I’m revealing the "Rebellion Playbook" that states can use right now to nullify this judicial coup and protect our republic. In this video, you’ll discover: The truth behind the $20,000,000 Roberts scandal and the disbarment filing. How the 14th Amendment was hijacked to create a "feudal" version of citizenship. The "Anchors Away Act" and how states can stop issuing birth certificates to illegal entrants. Why the "jus soli" doctrine is a tool for kings, not a free Republic. The America you know is at a breaking point. It’s time to demand the Constitution means what it says. Link To Article - https://x.com/TheSCIF/status/20728587... >
It is not a "bombshell" new scandal in the sense of fresh revelations—much of the underlying information dates to 2023 reporting triggered by a whistleblower. The complaint amplifies and frames those details as ethics violations warranting disbarment.

Core Allegations Jane Roberts' earnings: While working as a legal recruiter at Major, Lindsey & Africa (2007–2014), she earned $10.3 million in commissions (from ~$13.3 million in attributed revenue), per internal firm spreadsheets released by whistleblower Kendal Price (a former colleague). She placed lawyers at prominent firms (e.g., WilmerHale, Hogan Lovells) that later argued cases before the Supreme Court. She later joined Macrae.
businessinsider.com
Disclosure issues: On federal financial disclosure forms (required under the Ethics in Government Act), John Roberts reportedly listed her income as "salary" for many years rather than commissions. He amended some forms in 2023 after media reports. An equity stake in Macrae (valued $100K–$250K) was omitted for three years (later called "inadvertence"). Armitage estimates total household income from such sources at ~$20–22 million by extrapolating later years.
medium.com
Recusal failures: Roberts allegedly did not recuse himself in hundreds of cases involving firms that paid his household via his wife's work, potentially violating 28 U.S.C. § 455 (judge must disqualify if impartiality might reasonably be questioned or if spouse has a financial interest that could be affected).
cmarmitage.substack.com
Broader claims: Violations of D.C. Rule of Professional Conduct 8.4(c) (dishonesty, fraud, deceit), plus references to false statements statutes.
The complaint cites ethics analyses (e.g., from Prof. Bennett Gershman) and invites others to file similar complaints with the D.C. Bar.
medium.com
Context and StatusOrigins: The $10.3M figure and commission details became public in 2023 via Business Insider, NYT, Politico, and Price's whistleblower filing to Congress. Supreme Court spokespeople have noted Roberts consulted ethics guidance and saw no need for routine recusals, citing advisory opinions on spousal recruiting work.
snopes.com
As of mid-2026: The D.C. Bar has the complaint under review (or has declined deep investigation per some reports). Disbarment would be largely symbolic—it wouldn't remove Roberts from the Supreme Court (which requires impeachment by Congress, not bar membership). No indication of formal charges, hearing, or outcome yet.
facebook.com
Counterpoints: Disclosure laws require reporting spousal income sources above certain thresholds but not always exact amounts or structures in detail. Critics argue the arrangement creates an appearance of conflict; defenders say it's legal, disclosed at the source level, and doesn't automatically require recusal under existing guidance. The $20M+ total includes unverified estimates for post-2014 earnings.

German prosecutors have filed charges against a Ukrainian national in connection with the destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline.
The pipeline was owned by Russian natural gas company Gazprom. Several explosions were recorded in September 2022, which ruptured three of the four pipelines in Nord Stream 2 running under the Baltic Sea.
The suspect, named only as Serhii K under German privacy laws, was arrested in Italy last summer and extradited to Germany in November, the BBC reported. Prosecutors allege the man led and coordinated the attack on the pipeline, which transported Russian natural gas to Germany.
What if the greatest political battles of our time aren't being fought on the battlefield—but through institutions, elections, media, and public opinion?
In this episode, Mike Steger explores the concept of "color revolutions" and argues that the same strategies used to influence governments abroad are now shaping politics across the West.
From Ukraine and the Arab Spring to Brazil, Europe, and the United States, Mike examines how non-governmental organizations, media networks, political activism, and government institutions have evolved into powerful geopolitical tools.
The discussion also explores President Trump's efforts to reshape U.S. foreign policy, dismantle longstanding government programs, push election reforms, and challenge what Mike describes as the political establishment ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
Topics include:
• The history of color revolutions • Gene Sharp and the theory of nonviolent political movements • USAID, the National Endowment for Democracy, and foreign influence • The Orange Revolution and Ukraine • The Arab Spring and regime change • Brazil, censorship, and the Bolsonaro controversy • China, social media regulation, and global influence • Trump's foreign policy strategy • The SAVE America Act and election reform • Europe's political realignment • The future of conservative movements in the Americas • The battle over media, institutions, and national sovereignty

Justice Clarence Thomas said the 5-4 ruling was “incorrect.” “Although the Court expresses concern that the President removed a Board member for ‘the first time in the Federal Reserve’s 111-year history, it expresses no such concern that it today upholds an injunction [here] against the President’s removal of an executive officer for the first time in the Constitution’s 237-year history.”
If the Federal Reserve Board of Governors are not subject to the plenary power of the executive branch, then who controls it? If no one, then the Federal Reserve Board (FED) exists to control the American economy without any oversight from any mechanism within the U.S. Constitution.
The federal reserve is a fourth branch of government?
This decision seems rather weird….. Especially when the next ruling is considered.

The cruel choice so called economic law that said high employment causes inflation and therefore the fed (a private bank who profits greatly on rising interest rates) should raise interest rates to cruelly end rising employment supposedly to ward off inflation... (so very sad betcha betcha that it dramatically increases their profits).

Part 2: 'Cruel Choices' Era OVER | Trump's Team Rewrote the Rules https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZJ5HxCsFEY If nothing else watch the last segment that rightly points out when since Putin took over has was had a western style boom and bust financial crisis and why has chyna been able to avoid same for 50 years... first case Russia is financial strings removed (the cabal wants war cause they hate that) and the cabal is profiting and destroying the west with CCP chyna so boom and bust cycles miraculously are avoided when they are running the table... ta da!
Excellent break down of current state of affairs... bumpy progress cannot be avoided but very positive progress the like we have not seen in our lifetimes
A worthy comment on the matters as well https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2026/06/17/president-trump-suspends-dni-nomination-and-fisa-support-pending-save-america-act/
Understanding hard assets, bitcoin, treasuries and how the cabal manipulates same... follow to the end why income tax could be eliminated... the cabal really hates that!
Trump’s move is the post-breakdown escalation: if Iran won’t play by the old rules, the US will flip the script and become the one potentially charging — unless Iran (and others) give ground. This is textbook Trump: Use maximum pressure and an extreme ask to reset a failing negotiation in your favor. The 20% figure is the opening bid designed to be walked back in exchange for bigger wins on the issues that actually matter to him (Iran’s behavior, nuclear program, regional stability on US terms, and not subsidizing global shipping security indefinitely).
