ECP NetHappenings potato wisdom vs. welfare queens

“My 87-year-old neighbor just dropped potato wisdom that saved me $200 this year…”
She pulled out a plain cardboard box, sprinkled a handful of baking soda like it was gold dust, and whispered, “This is how we kept potatoes through the whole winter back home — no fridge, no chemicals, no sprouting.”

I thought she was joking… until I tried it.
Old-world potato preservation hack:

1. Place your potatoes in a cardboard box (breathable = key)
2. Generously dust them with baking soda
3. Tuck the box away in a cool, dark place (closet, pantry, under the bed)
4. Watch them stay firm and sprout-free for months
No more mushy potatoes. No more throwing away half the bag. Just simple, forgotten knowledge from a generation that didn’t waste a single thing.
Who else is bringing back grandma’s tricks in 2026? Drop a 🥔 if you’re trying this!
Save this before your next grocery run. Your wallet (and your potatoes) will thank you.

BREAKING: Massive fire erupts from a medical supply warehouse that can be seen for miles in Tracy, California. The fire is at the Medline warehouse, one of the largest medical supply distributors, which ships products to hospitals and healthcare facilities across the country. Multiple agencies and firefighters are working to get the blazing building under control, as investigators try to find the cause of the fire.

“The biggest welfare queens in this country are the giant corporations that don’t pay a penny in federal taxes. The biggest welfare queens are the CEOs who get a tax deduction for flying on a private jet. It’s not hungry kids. It’s not working parents who work multiple jobs”
Texas State Rep, James Talarico

Epstein Class

Jeffrey Epstein used legal fee payments to control witnesses and evade justice.
His estate is still doing it.
Lesley Groff testified before House Oversight this week. Her legal fees are paid by the Epstein estate.

Why would Todd Blanche (in private law practice at the time) be copied in on confidential Epstein emails right after Epstein arrested in 2019? Now we know why Trump hired him as private attorney.

Kathy Ruemmler served as White House Counsel for Obama—one of the most powerful legal positions in the United States.
After leaving government, she maintained a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein years after his conviction and later became Goldman Sachs’ top lawyer.

It’s absolutely wild that you can be photographed on Epstein Island, evade hearings about your ties to a convicted child predator, and still show your face at an NBA finals game because you’re rich and connected. If that isn’t a broken system, what is?

Alan Dershowitz negotiated Epstein’s 2007 plea deal. That deal gave a serial sex trafficker 13 months.
Today, House Oversight called him to testify.
EFTA00603608. An Epstein victim named him as a defendant in a civil case. He has never faced criminal charges.

JARED KUSHNER JUST BUILT THE EXACT LIST OF THINGS HE WILL LOSE IF ALBANIA’S PROTESTS DON’T STOP
Not vague threats. Not “we’ll reconsider.” NAMED ASSETS. SPECIFIC LOCATIONS. Project by project.

🇦🇱 Sazan Island — $1,400,000,000–$1,600,000,000 luxury resort on a former communist military base → now surrounded by 11 days of mass protests
🇦🇱 Zvërnec coastal plots — ecologically protected wetlands tied to Ivanka Trump → endangered flamingos, monk seals, and a protest movement named after them (#FlamingoRevolution)
🇦🇱 Tirana streets — largest demonstration yet recorded on Day 11, June 10, 2026 → thousands marching, police clashes, banners reading “Edi Rama resign”
🇦🇱 Albanian PM Edi Rama’s political cover — his quote: “There is no chance for this investment to stop as long as I am here” → now facing active resignation demands
🇦🇱 Albania’s EU accession timeline — Brussels issued a formal warning on June 9, 2026 to “act without delay” → refrain from actions undermining EU candidacy due to environmental violations
🇦🇱 Bilateral U.S.-Albania optics — a Kushner-linked $1.5B deal on protected Adriatic coast → now generating international media scrutiny during Trump’s second term
🇦🇱 Project construction timeline — barbed wire went up in spring 2026 → triggered the backlash that is now 11 days old and growing
🇦🇱 Affinity Partners’ foreign-deal credibility — Kushner’s firm is the lead investor → every day of protests adds to the public record attached to this project
🇦🇱 The deal itself — PM Rama offered protesters “discussions on solutions” → they rejected it
🇦🇱 The broader investment climate — one $1.5B project on ecologically sensitive land + EU warning + 11 days of mass protests = measurable risk to Albania’s investment story

💀 11 days of sustained demonstrations
💀 EU formal warning issued to Albanian government
💀 Largest single protest recorded on Day 11
💀 ZERO signs of the government reversing course

Every asset on this list sits inside a country that is now one escalation away from a genuine political crisis.

Kushner’s 11-day standoff is still running. These are the stakes at DAY 11.

ECP NetHappenings Erin Brockovich joined the fight against AI data centers

 

This aired on CNN — Laura Coates Live. And it is the most powerful single television appearance in the entire data center fight.

Consumer advocate and environmentalist Erin Brockovich joined the fight against AI data centers as communities nationwide raise concerns about secrecy, environmental damage, and quality of life.
https://www.cnn.com/2026/05/30/us/video/erin-brockovich-joins-fight-against-ai-data-centers-its-shocking-lcl

Brockovich tells Laura Coates that “the size of these places is unbelievable” and says the rapid expansion of the projects across the country is “shocking.”

The size is unbelievable. The expansion is shocking.

Those are not words from an abstract policy debate. Those are words from the woman who drove to Hinkley, California and looked at what a corporation was doing to a community and decided she was going to do something about it. Who spent years being told she was wrong. Who helped win a $333 million settlement that changed American corporate accountability forever.
She looked at AI data centers — the size of them, the speed of them, the secrecy of them — and said: it is unbelievable. It is shocking.

And then she built a map. And 6,615 Americans filled it with their stories in 30 days.

Here is what Erin Brockovich said on CNN that every American needs to hear:

She called the secrecy surrounding data center approvals the most troubling part of the entire phenomenon. Not the water. Not the electricity. The secrecy. The fact that communities find out after the deal is done. After the NDA is signed. After the permit is approved.
After the bulldozers are already warming up.

She has seen this before. She knows what it looks like when an industry moves fast and in secret and counts on communities not finding out until it is too late.
She is not going to let it happen again.

And this week — with 71% of Americans opposed, with working class communities fighting at five times the rate of wealthy ones, with Kentucky voting out data center supporters, with Blue Island packing a council chamber tonight, with Nashville Zoo’s legal challenge filed today and 332,000 signatures still climbing

NetHappenings Estate of Jeffrey Epstein Second Amended Complaint

The New York Times’s bombshell reporting confirmed what we already knew: Todd Blanche, JD Vance, and other top Administration officials are more focused on protecting the President than getting justice for survivors—even using convicted sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell to do it.

here, where the child suffers serious physical, mental, or emotional injury as a result of that abuse.
The harm to Epstein’s victims was both fully foreseeable and deeply damaging.
59.
The Epstein Enterprise knowingly recruited, transported, transferred, harbored, received, procured, obtained, isolated, maintained, and enticed young women and girls to engage in forced labor (such as providing massages) and, ultimately, sexual servitude at his little St. James residence.
60.
A 15-year old victim was forced into sexual acts with Epstein and others and then attempted to escape by swimming off the Little St. James Island. Epstein and others organized a search party that located her and kept her captive by, among other things, confiscating her passport.
Another victim, who was first engaged in provide massages to Epstein, was then forced to perform sexual acts at Little St. James in the Virgin Islands. When she attempted to escape the “private island,” Epstein and a search party found her, returned her to his house, and suggested physical restraint or harm if she failed to cooperate.
61.
Another victim was flown by Epstein and his associates to New York or Palm
Beach and then to the Virgin Islands dozens of times from 2004, when she was age 20, to 2017.
She was repeatedly abused by Epstein and also was pressed to have sex with Epstein’s business colleagues.
62.
During the latter part of this period, she was forced into an arranged marriage to another victim that was facilitated by Defendant/Co-Executor Indyke to prevent the other victim from being deported. Indyke and a New York immigration lawyer retained by Epstein prepared
the victim for communications with U.S. immigration officials almost immediately after the wedding. Defendant/Co-Executor Kahn provided a letter of reference for the immigration proceeding. When the victim inquired about ending the marriage and leaving Epstein’s circle,

Dear Brett Jaffe,

I left you a telephone message earlier. The Mail on Sunday newspaper is running a story on Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein, Prince Andrew and others this weekend.

We urgently require responses from Ms Maxwell to the following questions. Our deadline is noon tomorrow. My telephone numbers are ███████████████

Annette Witheridge

██████████ says Ghislaine Maxwell offered her a job as a masseuse with Jeffrey Epstein when she was aged 15. Ms Maxwell led ██████████ upstairs on her first visit to him at his Palm Beach house. Mr Epstein was naked on massage table. Ms Maxwell initiated a bisexual encounter during which Ms Maxwell rubbed her own breasts on Mr Epstein and directed ██████████ to copy her. Please respond to these allegations and all others in the original Jane Doe 102 complaint.
Ms Maxwell took part in numerous other sexual encounters involving her assistant ██████████████████████ and Mr Epstein.
Ms Maxwell kept sex toys and costumes in the Palm Beach mansion and dressed ██████████ prior to sex sessions with Mr Epstein. S Maxwell herself wore black vinyl during sex sessions with Mr Epstein.
████████ was paid between US $200 and $ 5000 US sex, depending on whether it involved travel and other men.
████████ was required to have sex with friends of Ms Maxwell and Mr Epstein, including Glenn Dubin, Les Wexner, Ehud Barak, former Senator George Mitchell and Stephen Kosslyn.
Ms Maxwell introduced ██████████ to Prince Andrew in 2001 at Ms Maxwell’s London house where ██████████ had sex with him. ██████████ subsequently was directed to meet him at Mr Epstein’s New York house where Ms Maxwell directed ██████████ to sit on Andrew’s knee with ██████████. Andrew groped both girls. Ms Maxwell directed ██████████ after this to have sex with Andrew.

ECP NetHappenings The Missing 21 Trillion Americans have lost.

The Pentagon has never been able to pass an audit.

“[DOD] is the only one of the government’s 24 major agencies never to pass”

https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2025/12/19/pentagon-fails-financial-audit-for-8th-year-in-a-row/

Catherine Austin Fitts

(born December 24, 1950) is an American investment banker and former public official who served as managing director of Dillon, Read & Co. and, during the Presidency of George H. W. Bush, as United States Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development for Housing. She has widely written and commented on the subject of public spending and has alleged several large-scale instances of government fraud.

Catherine says It’s a financial Coup d’etat
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZQRMJUzH4k

“So having some background in looking at local government and finances and state level, it’s like there’s no way that these accounting discrepancies should be multiples of the entire budget.

“If you had say a 500 billion dollar budget from the Army or a 200 billion dollar budget, it’d only be a small fraction. How could it be multiples? So I just, I, at first I thought she had made a mistake. It couldn’t be, you know, $6.2 trillion, maybe $6.2 billion. And even then that would be a huge sum to lose track of.

“And so I found the report myself and I just started looking at it. Just all kinds of strange examples of transactions that couldn’t be accounted for. And so I just started asking questions, and then Catherine and I were in touch with one another and we said, let’s try to systematically look over the years for all of these reports that exist and just sum them up and tally them and see what we can learn.

“And you know, so they don’t, they typically don’t produce a report like this every year for the Army or every year for the Navy, etc. They only do them every once in a while. So we tallied them all up for the DOD as well as Housing and Urban Development. And we found, from official government sources, $21 trillion in transactions for which there were no clear explanation

“And so we just asked the question and it, it happened at that time, back in 2016, ’17, ’18, it, it, the, the total debt was about $21 trillion. So it just got a lot of exposure in the media, like, wow

“So in that sense I think people started to ask questions and it got a little bit of attention, which I think is good. But the challenge was is that the federal government, rather than addressing it, on the one side they said they were going to address the challenge and they said, we’re going to conduct our first official external audit of the DOD ever. And after it completed that, it did not pass the audit and has not since. So it’s been about eight years.”

Former Assistant Secretary of HUD says the federal gov’t—namely DOD—has stolen $55 TRILLION of taxpayer funds.

This clip of Catherine Austin Fitts, a former Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, investment banker, and founder of the Solari Report (@solari_the), is taken from an interview with Anthony Fatseas (@AnthonyFatseas) posted to the WTFinance YouTube channel on April 10, 2026.

—————Partial transcription of clip—————

Fitts:

“So what happened was, I was part of a group of people in the first Bush administration who got financial management laws passed that required audited financial statements and a certain standard of disclosure. And those rules went into place in the mid-90s and since then. And it’s because of those rules that we’ve seen disclosure that indicates that, one, they’ve never obeyed the financial management laws.

“But also, they have, you know, they have had undocumentable adjustments between 1998 and 2015 of $21 trillion. Now, when you add that to $29 trillion of bailouts during the financial crisis, you know, that’s $50 trillion. And then you add $5 trillion injected directly into the economy during the Going Direct, that’s $55 trillion. Then you can even add more for the quantitative easing.

“So, you know, it’s, it’s— I always say to everybody in America, it’s remarkable we’re still standing because you’re talking about, you know, it’s like a body with a tapeworm. And the tapeworm is, if you look at what’s being drained out is unbelievable. I mean, the numbers are just, you know, hard for most people to fathom. It’s not hard for me to fathom. That’s my business. But it’s really hard to fathom that, that, that muc

“And we’re not talking about money so that some people can have billions and Ferraris and fancy houses in the Caribbean. We’re talking about the kind of money that builds a whole new civilization.

“Where is this money gone? Or it’s impossible to track?”
“Give me access to the New York Fed and DoD’s accounts. You know, so we don’t know where I went. And I think, you know, conceptually there are many possibilities, but there is, a belief that there is such a thing as a breakaway civilization.

“And literally what we’re watching is, you know, if, if you have a company and you, you want to bring in a new system, what you do is you bring up the new system, you keep the old system operating, you operate them in parallel until you’re confident in the new one, and then you switch over, right?

“So I think what they’re— Part of what they’re doing is they’re literally building a new governance, management, financial structure for Earth, moving the money out of the old and into the new. And, and when they’re ready, you know, they’ll, they’ll shift everybody over into the new one. And that’s what’s happening now. That’s what I think the reset is.”

Summary Report

“in a single year, the Army had acknowledged… it could not account for $6.2 trillion in transactions”

“we found, from official government sources, $21 trillion in transactions for which there was no clear explanation”

“[This] happened… back in 2016, ’17, ’18, [when] the total debt was about $21 trillion”

“[the federal government] said they were going to address the challenge, and they said, We’re going to conduct our first official external audit of the DOD ever”

“[But] after it completed [the audit], [DOD] did not pass the audit and has not since. So it’s been about eight years”

“That’s when I ran into some of Catherine Austin Fitts’ work. And I was just listening to an interview and she, she made a statement that in fiscal year 2015, the report came out in 2016, for the DOD, specifically the Army, in which, in a single year, the Army had acknowledged, through an OIG report, the Office of Inspector General, that it could not account for $6.2 trillion in transactions.

LINKGaudi the legendary architect’s most famous quotes:

“To do things right, first you need love,
then technique.”

People always asked Gaudí when the works would be finished, and he always replied that his client was in no hurry.

For Antoni Gaudí, who died on this very day 100 years ago, admitted to a hospice because he was mistaken for a beggar after being run over by a tram, it would have been a dream to know that the Pope, the King and Queen of Spain, the president of the Government and of the Generalitat, the mayor of Barcelona, and a long list of authorities would be, a century later, paying him homage and looking up at the sky to see how the tower of the world’s tallest church was being illuminated.

The epic of the Sagrada Família, 144 years under construction and still not finished, has had one of its historic days with the solemn religious ceremony that culminated in the Pope’s blessing of the Tower of Jesus Christ.

Another moment that will make Barcelona’s image go around the world, with 9,000 people inside the temple and 130,000 outside.
