Trump Administration’s Spending Is on Pace to Surpass Biden Levels
March 28th, 2025Via: MarketWatch:
The Hamilton Project, an economic policy think tank, tracks federal spending using daily treasury statements published by the government.
These data show that the federal government had spent $1.893 trillion in 2025 as of March 26, compared to $1.763 trillion at the same date last year. In other words, federal spending in on pace to come in 7.4% higher this year than last.
It’s not uncommon for federal outlays to grow year by year along with the economy. But the government is currently operating under a continuing budget resolution that largely locks in spending levels signed into law by President Biden last year.
By comparison, federal spending at the end of the first quarter in 2024 was on track to be 1.6% lower than the prior year, though overall spending ended up 3.0% higher for full-year 2024 compared to 2023.
“You would expect, given the rhetoric, to see big decreases relative to last year,” Wendy Edelberg, former chief economist at the Congressional Budget Office and director of the Hamilton Project, told MarketWatch.
“It’s less surprising when you consider that most of the cuts they have talked about are pretty small bore, and I think that’s the major takeaway,” she added.
Edelberg also noted that even federal spending on salaries is coming in ahead of last year, suggesting that despite the administration putting many federal workers on administrative leave, those people are still getting paid.
France Runs Fusion Reactor for Record 22 Minutes
March 28th, 2025Via: Interesting Engineering:
France has set a new milestone in fusion energy, sustaining a plasma reaction for over 22 minutes.
The record-breaking achievement occured at the WEST Tokamak reactor, operated by the Commissariat à l’énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA).
CEA’s WEST Tokamak achieved a record 1,337-second plasma run—beating China’s 1,066-second benchmark by 25% and shattering the 10-second baseline.
Huge Earthquake Causes Widespread Damage in Southeast Asia
March 28th, 2025Via: New York Post:
Thousands are feared dead after a powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake rocked Southeast Asia on Friday, bringing down a towering skyscraper in Thailand and toppling buildings, including a mosque, in neighboring Myanmar.
Harrowing scenes emerged of bodies being lined up in the rubble as rescuers scoured for survivors from the midday quake, whose epicenter was detected near Mandalay, Myanmar’s second-largest city.
UK Government Announces New Exercise to Prepare for Next Pandemic, Tool to Provide “Targeted Support” to Vulnerable Groups
March 28th, 2025Targeted Support. *wink*
Also, France advises people to lock their doors in the event of a nuclear incident.
Via: Jonathan’s Substack:
To support this, the Cabinet Office has created a Risk Vulnerability Tool with the Office for National Statistics.
The tool creates a map of the UK for different risks that we face, and shows where there are vulnerable groups who might be disproportionately impacted.
Vulnerable groups are identified by data including age, disability, or whether someone is receiving care.
They use the phrase “targeted support”.
What sort of such support they will receive? There’s plenty of evidence the “vulnerable” were targeted for protocols which ended their lives prematurely, such deaths being classified as “covid deaths”…

“The Quantum Apocalypse Is Coming”
March 26th, 2025Via: Wired:
One day soon, at a research lab near Santa Barbara or Seattle or a secret facility in the Chinese mountains, it will begin: the sudden unlocking of the world’s secrets. Your secrets.
Cybersecurity analysts call this Q-Day—the day someone builds a quantum computer that can crack the most widely used forms of encryption. These math problems have kept humanity’s intimate data safe for decades, but on Q-Day, everything could become vulnerable, for everyone: emails, text messages, anonymous posts, location histories, bitcoin wallets, police reports, hospital records, power stations, the entire global financial system.

The Stablecoin Trap: The Backdoor to Total Financial Control
March 25th, 2025Via: Peak Prosperity:
While the debate rages over the future threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), a far more insidious reality has already taken hold: our existing financial system already functions as a digital control grid, monitoring transactions, restricting choices, and enforcing compliance through programmable money.
For over two years, my wife and I have traveled across 22 states warning about the rapid expansion of financial surveillance. What began as research into cryptocurrency crackdowns revealed something far more alarming: the United States already operates under what amounts to a CBDC.
– 92% of all US dollars exist only as entries in databases.
– Your transactions are monitored by government agencies—without warrants.
– Your access to money can be revoked at any time with a keystroke.
The Federal Reserve processes over $4 trillion daily through its Oracle database system, while commercial banks impose programmable restrictions on what you can buy and how you can spend your own money. The IRS, NSA, and Treasury Department collect and analyze financial data without meaningful oversight, weaponizing money as a tool of control. This isn’t speculation—it’s documented reality.
Now, as President Trump’s Executive Order 14178 ostensibly “bans” CBDCs, his administration is quietly advancing stablecoin legislation that would hand digital currency control to the same banking cartel that owns the Federal Reserve. The STABLE Act and GENIUS Act don’t protect financial privacy—they enshrine financial surveillance into law, requiring strict KYC tracking on every transaction.
This isn’t defeating digital tyranny—it’s rebranding it.
