The focus of the week will be on Powell's testimony.
After the U.S. airstrike on Iran's nuclear sites, the calm in the oil market has dashed the forecasts of bears. Major events that could affect markets can be looked at by traders. Powell's semi-annual monetary policy testimony to Congress is likely to be the main event. Powell will probably be grilled by Republican party members for not cutting interest rates and costing the country hundreds of billions of dollars, as President Donald Trump has repeatedly said in his Truth Social posts. Powell is expected to reiterate the Fed's independence and the data dependent path for rates. Powell's take on the interest-rate trajectory will be watched by traders, given the recent comments by the Fed Governor that interest rates could be reduced in July. "With the market's pricing of future inflation well anchored, early cracks emerging in the labor market and housing activity evidently weak, there are reasons for the Fed to consider adopting a dovish shift in the July FOMC meeting and guiding towards a cut in September." The recent conflict in the Middle East has led to more risk-taking in the financial markets, which could bode well for BTC....

Iran Weighs Strait of Hormuz Closure, US Issues 'Worldwide Caution'

As Trump floats regime change to 'Make Iran Great Again',Deutsche Bank warns Europe has drawn the short straw in escalating conflict.
There were warnings of long-term consequences from Iran after President Trump ordered airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites. While U.S. officials downplayed intentions of regime change and direct war, analysts warned that the conflict could have serious and lasting economic impacts, especially for Europe, and urged investors to be wary of overreacting to sensationalist commentary. The window for a decision on Iran turned into two days as the U.S. entered the conflict in the Middle East. The president surprised the global media by saying that warplanes had hit three different targets. Iran warned of consequences. Despite knowing where he is, the president has now suggested that the Iranian regime should be overthrown. It is not politically correct to use the term "regime change", but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to make Iran great again, why wouldn't there be a Regime change? MIGA!...

New research shows that ancient Romans ate meat at fast-food shops.
The research sheds more light on life in antiquity by showing how ancient Romans enjoyed their fast food. Alejandro Valenzuela discovered previously unknown information about how Romans consumed the small bird in a recent journal article. It was thought that thrushes were only for the rich. Valenzuela found that the birds were eaten by the people. The proof was found in a first-century cesspit in Mallorca, Spain, where the bones of multiple species of animals were found. The pit used to be connected to a fast-food shop. Valenzuela is a researcher at the Mediterranean Institute for Advanced Studies in Mallorca. The antiquity expert said that thrushes, once considered a luxury delicacy for the Roman elite, were actually part of the everyday foodscape in cities....

Title IX was meant to protect women.
A generation of fearless women paved the way for the rest of us. The first Asian-American woman elected to Congress, and the "Godmother of Title IX," fought to pass a law that guaranteed women the same rights as men to learn, compete, and succeed. Title IX stated that women deserve the full human experience of intellectual challenge and physical development. For most of history, women were denied the opportunity to grow and compete in sports. The first woman to run the Boston Marathon was hiding in the bushes and running without an official number. Kathrine Switzer was almost tackled by a race official trying to stop her from competing after she registered under her initials. The foundation for the creation of a separate women's division was laid by these women. Title IX opened doors for women to step onto fields and into leadership....

Note: As we venture into the realm of alternative media reporting, it is essential to acknowledge that not all sources are created equal. While some outlets offer crucial counter-narratives and insights, others pose a significant risk of misinformation, perpetuating controlled opposition or serving as wolves in sheep's clothing, intent on misleading their audience with agendas designed to confuse rather than inform.

Pakistan, China, and Russia are pushing for an emergency UN Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire in the Middle East following US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. The draft resolution urged respect for international law and condemned the attacks. China and Russia both criticized the US actions, but Pakistan defended Iran's right to self-defense. The US is expected to veto the resolution. Laura Aboli has a channel.

It is becoming clear that what we saw at Fordow was a performance. A grand, very expensive display of force designed to destroy Iran's nuclear capacity and more to create the appearance of having done so. The strike caused minimal damage, despite initial headlines claiming the nuclear program was destroyed. There was no collapse, no fire signatures, and no meaningful disruption. Iran was warned of its limits before the strike. Fordow and other sites were protected in time. The infrastructure is still intact. What was the purpose?...

Christian populations in the Middle East have faced persecution since the beginning of the Global War on Terror initiated by Blair and Bush. There is a decline in the population of Christians in Iraq and Syria due to violence. Over half of Iraq's Christians have fled. Targeted attacks, kidnappings, and genocide from extremists have led to widespread violence against Christians. Civil wars and extremists have made institutional discrimination and political marginalization worse. Significant Christian communities in Lebanon, Turkey, Syria, and Jordan have drastically decreased, with some countries seeing populations drop to just a few percent. Some Muslims are converting to Christianity at unprecedented rates despite the decline, though this does not offset overall losses. The Near-exodus of Christians from the Middle East is threatening their ancient presence in the region....

Any aggression against Iran's peaceful nuclear facilities is a blatant violation of international law. Like Netanyahu, Trump makes his international decisions without thinking, and in ways that conflict with the interests of the United States. There will be more surprises. If we assume the complete destruction of nuclear sites, the game is not over because enriched materials, indigenous knowledge, and political will still exist. The political and practical initiative is now in the hands of the party that has the right to legitimate defense, knows how to play and avoids random strikes. Even if we assume the complete destruction, he doesn't confirm any major damage. Iran is not revealing everything. He says that enriched materials, indigenous knowledge, and political will still exist....

Matt Le Tissier hit the nail on the head. The people that we've put in power are under orders to destroy the country. There will be people begging for help from the government if they destroy the country.

I had the most wonderful healing time at Live5DHealth, where I spent three to four hours every day for ten days, driving from my hotel in Carrick-on-Shannon to the peaceful treatment rooms in Boyle. I was told by a friend in the UK that I had the most awful skin condition since late December and nothing had really helped. My skin condition is now 98% better. Gary and his team of very kind and thoughtful people provided lots of the healthy structured water at the clinic and just spent time in this peaceful place being looked after. I would like to thank you all very much. It rains in Ireland but the people of Ireland make up for it, so I will be back every year for treatments and some time in Ireland. Ursula Kraus-Harper.

The MAGA movement is no longer alive.
Scott Ritter is a former UN weapons inspector and Marine Corps officer. Trump has broken his own promises of peace and dragged the entire MAGA movement down with him, according to Ritter on social media. By wearing his trademark red cap while allowing the US to enter yet another war, Trump has stripped the movement of all meaningful content and turned it into an empty symbol. When a President wears a hat while conspiring to take America to war after promising that he would pursue peace, it's a sign that he doesn't stand for anything. The movement is officially dead. MAGA stands for nothing when a President wears a hat while trying to take America to war after promising that he would pursue peace. Scott Ritter, who became known for his fearless stance during the UN weapons inspections in Iraq in the 1990s, is now directing his message directly to Trump. He wants them to distance themselves from the president and those who stand by him, because he believes they are pursuing a dangerous agenda that has nothing to do with the original ideas of MAGA....
