An international team of researchers reported finding microplastic particles in human brain tissue at concentrations seven to thirty times higher than in the liver or kidneys, according to a Perspective published May 5, 2026, in the journal Brain Health. Researchers from the University of New Mexico, the University of Ottawa, Technische Universität Dresden, and King’s College London analyzed tissue samples from donors between 2016 and 2024 and observed a 50% increase in plastic burden over that period, with the highest levels found in donors diagnosed with dementia.

The Ogallala Aquifer Is Dying – As The Largest Supply Of Groundwater In The United States Vanishes
Gigantic underground aquifers are being rapidly depleted all over the world, and once that water is gone, it will take a very long time for it to come back. In fact, in some areas of the United States, the recharge rate is less than an inch per year. That is a major problem, because more than half of the water that U.S. farmers use for irrigation comes from underground aquifers. What in the world are our farmers going to do once that water is gone?

We’re Freaking Doomed without Freedom from State Rule
First, let me acknowledge the influence of the late Mogambo Guru with the appearance of “freaking” in this article’s title. I considered it an appropriate amplifier. I hope you will, too.
The Affordability Crisis Is a Sovereign Debt Problem
Previously, I have argued that sovereign credit systems are structurally biased toward expansion: crises justify new interventions, those interventions are never fully reversed, and each cycle leaves behind a higher institutional baseline than before. The Cantillon effect ensures that the gains from monetary expansion distribute unevenly, flowing first to those nearest the financial system.
Experts Warn That Very Painful Oil Shortages Are Ahead This Summer
Without sufficient quantities of oil, the global economy will not be able to operate normally. So the fact that the global economy is running a massive “oil deficit” right now should deeply alarm all of us. Ever since the war with Iran began, the world has been consuming far more oil than it has been producing. We have been running down commercial oil inventories and strategic oil reserves all over the planet, and now those supplies are starting to run dry. In the not-too-distant future, global demand for oil will substantially exceed what is available, and that will mean much higher prices and very painful shortages. Asia will be hit the hardest because they are more dependent on oil from the Middle East than anyone else, but we will certainly feel this crisis very keenly as well.
Hegseth Says U.S. Will Stop Subsidizing Wealthy NATO Members
U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth told the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore on May 30, 2026, that the United States will no longer “subsidize” the defense of “wealthy” allies, reviving the long-running dispute between Washington and NATO’s European members over military burden-sharing. According to an official statement by the Department of War, Hegseth said, “The era of the United States subsidizing the defense of wealthy nations is over. We need partners, not protectorates. We seek alliances built on shared responsibility, not dependency.”

Praxeology as an Antidote to Hyperreality
Modern economic life no longer unfolds within reality as it emerges from human action. It operates within a constructed order that substitutes itself for real processes. Governments do not engage with the economy as it is lived and experienced. They act upon abstractions that stand in for it. What is presented as analysis is in fact a replacement.
We Are Being Warned That A “Godzilla El Niño” Could Absolutely Devastate Global Food Production
We are being told that there is more than an 80 percent chance that El Niño conditions will arrive by the end of next month due to rapidly warming equatorial waters in the Pacific. Meanwhile, an unprecedented “9,000-mile marine heatwave” has developed in the North Pacific. Many experts are concerned that the confluence of those two factors could produce a “Godzilla El Niño”…
