Amazon just got caught running a secret price manipulation operation with Levi's, Home Depot, Walmart, and many more.

Every time you "comparison shopped" online, you were looking at prices that were already rigged.

Here's what happened:

Amazon would monitor prices on Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, and Chewy in real time. The second a competitor listed a product cheaper than Amazon, they'd contact the brand directly and tell them to "fix it."

And the exact emails are now PUBLIC.

Amazon sent Levi's links to two Walmart listings with the subject line "styles of concern." They basically said the prices on Walmart are too low and we have a problem.

The next day, Levi's responded: "I talked to Walmart and they have partnered with us to take Easy Khaki Classic fit back up to ladder SPP price, $29.99 immediately."

Levi's literally called Walmart and told them to raise the price. Because Amazon told Levi's to make the call.

Walmart complied. Then Amazon matched the HIGHER price.

Both retailers ended up charging more. The customer paid extra. Nobody competed.

Same playbook with Hanes:

Amazon sent them links showing Target and Walmart prices were lower. Hanes confirmed they "reached out to Target and Walmart to have the prices increased."

Target increased the prices. Walmart increased the prices. Amazon kept their margins.

But it gets even worse...

Amazon told Allergan (the company that makes eye drops) that their product was "suppressed" on Amazon because it was cheaper on another site.

Allergan responded: "Walmart got their price back up to $16.99." Amazon then unsuppressed the listing.

They did this with pet treats on Chewy. Furniture on Home Depot. Products across dozens of categories spanning YEARS.

The mechanism is simple but terrifying:

If you're a brand and you sell cheaper on Walmart than on Amazon, Amazon suppresses your product, removes you from the Buy Box, buries you in search results, and effectively makes you invisible to 300 million customers.

Brands can't afford that. So they call Walmart and Target and say "raise your prices or we'll lose our Amazon listings."

Walmart and Target comply because they need the brand's products.

Amazon captures 40 cents of every dollar spent online in America. That gives them the leverage to set prices across THE ENTIRE internet. Not just their own platform.

So turns out, you were never comparison shopping.

You were looking at a coordinated price floor set by Amazon through backroom phone calls between brands and their competitors.

"Amazon is working to make your life more unaffordable."

3 separate antitrust trials are now scheduled for 2027. The FTC has its own case. 18 states plus the DOJ are piling on.

This is literally happening during the WORST affordability crisis in a generation. Groceries up 25% since 2020. Housing unaffordable. Wages flat.

And the largest ecommerce company on Earth has been secretly coordinating with brands to make sure you can't find a cheaper price ANYWHERE.

"Competition" in retail is just a fantasy.

In 1480 viel een Ottomaans leger (18.000 man, onder Gedik Ahmed Pasha) de Zuid-Italiaanse stad Otranto aan. Na 15 dagen beleg werd de stad ingenomen. De overlevende mannen (boven de 15) kregen een ultimatum: bekeren tot de islam of sterven. Ongeveer 800 weigerden. Ze werden naar de heuvel buiten de stad gevoerd (nu de Heuvel der Martelaren). Daar werden ze één voor één onthoofd.

De eerste was kleermaker Antonio Primaldo, die riep: “Nu is het tijd om voor onze zielen te vechten voor de Heer.”
De aartsbisschop werd voor het altaar van de kathedraal onthoofd.
Andere priesters werden doormidden gezaagd.
Vrouwen en kinderen werden als slaven verkocht of vermoord. Totaal: tienduizenden doden en duizenden in slavernij.
Dit was geen “normale” oorlog maar een religieus gemotiveerde slachting van weerloze christenen die weigerden hun geloof af te zweren.

Na de herovering in 1481 werden de lichamen (die maandenlang onbegraven op de heuvel hadden gelegen) verzameld en naar de kathedraal gebracht. In de Cappella dei Martiri staan vandaag de dag glazen vitrines vol met hun echte schedels – rij na rij, honderden stuks.

Een stukje geschiedenis dat zelden in de schoolboeken staat…

Anno 2026?
Kerken organiseren vrijwillig iftars wereldwijd..
Hebben die 800 martelaren hiervoor geleden?
Voor kerken die nu vrijwillig weggeven wat zij met hun bloed verdedigden?

[Catherine Austin Fitts @austin_fit76995]

Heavenly Father, Sovereign over nations and King of kings, we humble ourselves before You. America stands at the crossroads, torn by division, bled by corruption, besieged by powers that scheme in shadows.

Forgive our pride, our greed, our wandering from Your truth.Awaken the sleeping giant within us. Ignite hearts with courage to defend liberty, justice, and the unborn. Expose the uniparty thieves, shatter their chains of debt and deceit, and restore righteous leaders who fear You more than polls.

Heal our borders, revive our farms, protect our children from indoctrination and peril. Pour out wisdom on the remnant, farmers, workers, patriots, to build resilient communities that shine Your light.

Turn back the tide of tyranny. Let revival sweep from sea to shining sea, as in days of old. Make us one nation under You, indivisible, with liberty for all. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray and stand. Amen.

May God bless and revive America.

I think it’s safe to say Trump and Israel are relieved Charlie Kirk is not able to speak up today against their catastrophic regime change war

[Era @redbullbaby05]

remember when Max reported a burning smell in the cockpit and GP told him everything on the car looked fine?
And then it turned out that it was a missile strike on the Aramco oil facility by the Houthis with a literal massive plume of smoke visible from driver cockpit.. wild times ..

Spoiler alert:

•There will be wars & rumors of wars.
•There will be natural disasters.
•There will be evil beyond what normal people can comprehend.

The WORLD seems chaotic & out of control at times.

BUT JUST REMEMBER......

JESUS WINS.
CHRIST IS KING.

"I have told you these things so that you will be whole and at peace.

In this world you will be plagued with trouble, but you need NOT FEAR; I have triumphed over this corrupt world."

🚨 Every Christian needs to know how to respond to stuff like this from someone like @jamestalarico.

I've never even seen anyone attempt this before 👇

[Jared Cornutt @jaredcornutt]

I had an 84-year-old church member call me today. She was concerned because she wasn’t sure she had ever really “felt” the Holy Spirit. She told me her sister spoke in tongues, and it left her worried.

So I asked her a few questions.

“Have you ever felt conviction over your sin?” She said yes.

“Have some of your old, worldly desires been replaced with godly ones since you trusted Christ?” Again, yes.

“Have you ever been anxious about something, prayed about it, and then experienced peace?” Yes.

“Have you ever felt joy when sharing Jesus or serving others?” Yes.

I reassured her that she had certainly experienced the Holy Spirit at work in her life.

Some grouos often over emphasize the extraordinary in regard to the work of the Holy Spirit. But the Spirit is very present in the ordinary of our lives. He is producing fruit in ways we can easily overlook. He is with us.

She needed to hear that today. Maybe you do too.

COMMANDER: We’re fighting for freedom. And part of that freedom… is the freedom to retire with dignity. So we’re going to start accounts called 401(k)s.

SOLDIER 1: What’s a 401(k)?

COMMANDER: It’s a retirement account. You put money in, it grows tax-free, you take it out when you’re old.

SOLDIER 2: So I don’t pay taxes on it?

COMMANDER: Well, you pay taxes later. When you withdraw.

SOLDIER 2: So it’s not tax-free.

COMMANDER: It’s…tax-deferred.

SOLDIER 2: What’s the difference?

COMMANDER: You pay taxes later instead of now.

SOLDIER 1: What if I want to pay taxes now?

COMMANDER: Then you do a Roth 401(k).

SOLDIER 3: What’s a Roth?

COMMANDER: You pay taxes now, and it grows tax-free.

SOLDIER 2: That’s what I thought the first one was.

COMMANDER: No, the first one you pay taxes later.

SOLDIER 1: Which one’s better?

COMMANDER: Depends on your tax bracket in retirement.

SOLDIER 1: …How would I…know that?

COMMANDER: You don’t. You just guess.

⸻

SOLDIER 4: What if I don’t have a 401(k) through my employer?

COMMANDER: Then you open an IRA.

SOLDIER 4: What’s the difference?

COMMANDER: One’s through your job, one’s on your own.

SOLDIER 4: Can I have both?

COMMANDER: Yes.

SOLDIER 4: Should I?

COMMANDER: Maybe.

SOLDIER 3: Can I do a Roth IRA?

COMMANDER: Only if you make under a certain amount.

SOLDIER 3: What’s the limit?

COMMANDER: Changes every year.

SOLDIER 2: What if I make too much?

COMMANDER: Then you do a backdoor Roth by putting it in a Traditonal first.

SOLDIER 2: …Is that legal?

COMMANDER: Surprisingly, yes.

SOLDIER 1: What’s a backdoor Roth?

COMMANDER: You contribute to a traditional IRA, then convert it to a Roth…but watch out for “pro rata”.

SOLDIER 1: Why wouldn’t I just contribute to the Roth directly?

COMMANDER: Because you make too much money.

SOLDIER 1: But this way I can?

COMMANDER: Yes.

SOLDIER 1: That feels like a loophole.

COMMANDER: It is. But the IRS is cool with it.

⸻

SOLDIER 5: I just changed battalions. What do I do with my old 401(k)?

COMMANDER: You roll it over.

SOLDIER 5: Into what?

COMMANDER: An IRA. Or your new 401(k). Depends.

SOLDIER 5: On what?

COMMANDER: The funds. The fees. Whether your new plan accepts rollovers.

SOLDIER 5: What if I just take the money out?

COMMANDER: You’ll pay taxes plus a 10% penalty.

SOLDIER 5: What if I’m 59?

COMMANDER: Penalty.

SOLDIER 5: 59 and a half?

COMMANDER: No penalty.

SOLDIER 5: …The half matters?

COMMANDER: The half matters.

⸻

SOLDIER 3: What’s a mega backdoor Roth?

COMMANDER: Okay. So. Your 401(k) has a limit of how much you can contribute.

SOLDIER 3: Right.

COMMANDER: But the total limit including employer contributions is higher.

SOLDIER 3: Okay…

COMMANDER: So if your plan allows ~after-tax~ contributions, you can put in more, then convert that to Roth.

SOLDIER 3: Does my plan allow that?

COMMANDER: I don’t know. You have to ask Betsy.

SOLDIER 3: Will Betsy know?

COMMANDER: Probably not.

⸻

SOLDIER 2: Can I deduct my IRA contribution on my taxes?

COMMANDER: Are you covered by a retirement plan at work?

SOLDIER 2: Yes.

COMMANDER: Then only if you make under a certain amount per year.

SOLDIER 2: What’s the amount?

COMMANDER: Depends if you’re married.

SOLDIER 2: What if my wife has a plan but I don’t?

COMMANDER: Different limit.

SOLDIER 2: What if neither of us has a plan?

COMMANDER: Full deduction.

SOLDIER 2: So it’s better to not have a 401(k)?

COMMANDER: No…

⸻

SOLDIER 1: Can I just keep my money in a sock?

COMMANDER: You could. But inflation will slowly destroy it.

SOLDIER 1: What’s inflation?

COMMANDER: (sighs)…

Do the real math on that second income:
$50,000 salary

$18,000 taxes
$15,000 childcare
$8,000 commuting
$7,000 exhaustion spending

= $2,000 net gain

A new report from Brown University finds that America has spent $33 billion on Israel in the last 2 years.

That’s $45 million dollars EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

That’s $4.85/day for every citizen of Israel.

The American taxpayers have sent EVERY citizen in Israel a $144 check, every month, for 24 months straight.

A family of 4 in Israel is receiving $577/month in subsidies, courtesy of the American taxpayer, for 2 years now.

Israelis still have free healthcare and free college and subsidized childcare. They haven’t reduced any of their social welfare programs.

Meanwhile Americans are literally paying for groceries with their credit cards. Same as they have been for almost 3 years.
