Woodward, Bernstein: Rug Rats

Richard Nixon offers his condemnation of “advocacy journalism,” the form of subjective speculation that describes so much of the investigative journalism produced by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein during the Watergate scandal. Some might suggest “advocacy journalism” is just another charade — i.e., something made up, or “absolute bullshit.”

Bill Murray shares his reaction to Nixon’s take with Joe Rogan. “Oh my Gawd, they framed Nixon.” Here’s more from the Richard Nixon Foundation.

 

Bessent’s Finances: No More Bull

As headlines warn of a $40 trillion U.S. debt and a “bond market explosion,” Barbara Boyd argues a manufactured financial panic is being used to attack President Donald Trump ahead of the midterms. She spotlights Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s “discreet” plan—echoed by Vice President JD Vance—to get economic growth to outpace debt by directing credit into productive investment rather than speculation or consumer handouts.

Boyd frames the approach as an updated Alexander Hamilton model: Sovereign credit for infrastructure, technology, and industry to expand real output and contain inflation, while curbing Wall Street and Fed-driven speculation. She cites Bessent’s focus on domestic production and supply chains and highlights executive-order priorities including advanced manufacturing, nuclear and fusion power, a Moon colony by 2028, and breakthrough science.

The episode also features Vance’s critique of free-trade policies, “deaths of despair,” and a $1B Cleveland-Cliffs investment in Middletown, Ohio. Here’s more from a new episode of Promethean Updates.

Why Tesla Is Panicking?

Elon Musk issues a panicked message about the surge in the price of silver, warning the price hikes could not only spell doom for the solar and electric vehicle markets but also present real headwinds for the military. Could the meteoric silver demand prove a bigger hurdle on growth than the skirmish over rare earth metals?

Meanwhile, silver keeps barreling toward $100 an ounce and some analysts now speculate the price could reach up to $300 over the course of the new year. There could be massive bank and financial failures as well, owing to the fact that silver claims have been greatly overissued. There are as many as 356 claims outstanding for every physical ounce of silver in the vaults of financial traders!

Here’s more from Kevin Huang. We’re not sure if Huang actually exists, or represents an AI spokesman. This could be a Communist China gambit, or perhaps some sleight of hand by the silver markets in Shanghai or Singapore. The information appears solid, so we’re running the video. Still, Huang’s actual status remains to be seen!

Was Einstein A Fraud?
