World and wars too many. People need to be aware enough to determine if US & Israel attack on Iran fell in line with the Rule of Law, Congress, Morality & is truly wishes of the people. “A substantial proportion of people do what they are told to do, irrespective of the content of the act, and without pangs of conscience, so long as they perceive that the command comes from a legitimate authority.” Stanley Milgram

Be Aware 1st time ever … we are talking financial markets and BlackRock

For the first time in history, BlackRock is halting the amount people can withdrawal. This is a major red flag. Something big is coming.

Breaking: BlackRock just froze $1.2 billion in withdrawal requests at its private credit fund.

Here’s what happened:

• Investors in BlackRock’s $26B fund asked to pull out 9.3% of their money

• BlackRock said no — capped withdrawals at 5%

• Blackstone’s $82B fund saw record withdrawal requests the same week

• Blackstone had to put in $400M of its own cash to cover the exits Two of the biggest funds on the planet are limiting how much you can take out.

Axios: Trump’s epic power play

 Trump’s epic power play

President Trump seethed when the Supreme Court stripped away his unilateral tariff authority, the first real check on his presidency.

Then he set out to impose his will on every remaining vector of American power — smashing norms and shrugging off Congress in a historic, 14-day show of executive force, Axios’ Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen write in a “Behind the Curtain” column.

Why it matters: Over the past two weeks, Trump launched a massive Middle East war, blacklisted the hottest AI company on the planet, ordered new global tariffs, and presided over the biggest media merger in two decades. He did it all unilaterally — without passing a single law, and without pretending he needed to. 

Axios’ Zachary Basu narrates this epic fortnight: 

The tariffs: 

On Feb. 20, hours after the Supreme Court ruling, Trump imposed a new 10% global tariff under a separate emergency law — daring the courts to stop him again. By sidestepping the court’s ruling rather than accepting it, Trump sent an unmistakable message: No institution — not Congress, not the judiciary — would constrain his ability to reshape the global economy. 

The merger: 

On Feb. 26, Netflix walked away from the bidding war for Warner Bros. Discovery — handing Trump allies Larry and David Ellison control of CNN, HBO and Hollywood’s two most storied studios. Paramount’s David Ellison privately assured Trump officials last year that he would make sweeping changes to CNN, a network despised by the president, The Wall Street Journal reported.The Ellisons’ emerging media empire — CBS, TikTok and soon CNN — gives Trump allies unprecedented influence on what Americans watch, read and scroll. 

The blacklist: 

On Feb. 27, Trump ordered every federal agency to stop doing business with Anthropic after the $380 billion AI startup refused to give the Pentagon unfettered access to its technology.The Pentagon then designated Anthropic a “supply chain risk” — a label typically reserved for adversarial foreign companies, and one that a former Trump AI adviser called “attempted corporate murder.”“I fired Anthropic like dogs,” Trump told Politico. 

The war: 

On Feb. 28, Trump did what no president before him had dared — launch a full military assault on an Iranian regime that has tormented the United States since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.Some U.S. officials have been careful not to call it a “war” — a label that connotes congressional approval — or admit that “regime change” is the goal. The president hasn’t bothered with either pretense.

Trump told Axios yesterday that he must be personally involved in selecting Iran’s next leader just as he was in Venezuela, where interim President Delcy Rodríguez has become a compliant conduit for U.S. interests.In the same interview with Axios’ Barak Ravid, Trump demanded that Israel’s president pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — seeking to simultaneously pick Iran’s next leader and shield his war partner from criminal prosecution. 

The big picture: Trump has spent his second term systematically testing how much power a president can seize without Congress, the courts or public opinion stopping him. The answer, so far: almost limitless.Trump has signed fewer laws than any modern president at this stage — because he doesn’t need them. Executive orders, military force and the bully pulpit have proven more efficient.Trump’s advisers say he’s content using unilateral powers, and congressional Republicans — with rare exceptions — have cheered him on at every turn.

A rare earth deposit in Norway is about 80% larger than initially estimated, making it one of the biggest in the world, according to a new report from the Norwegian Geological Survey. The discovery could radically transform Europe’s supply chains and significantly reduce its dependence on China, which provides up to 98% of key rare-earth metals imported by the EU.

This post was going to be about the latest anti-vax insanity and how it ultimately reflects Trump’s Malignant Narcissism, but that got derailed fast.
