THE BIG PICTURE

The Digital Lives Of Others – “The merger into a fascist system of total surveillance began in secret not long after the Internet emerged as a preferred tool for information, communication, and socialization. The opportunities for exploitation in the concealment of truth and to manage perceptions and minds proved irresistible. One could argue that was the entire motive of the digital revolution—to distract, surveil, manage, and control the masses at ever-increasing speeds with increasingly deceptive sophisticated algorithms. To be free from their system of entrapment, to liberate oneself from this globally interconnected digital gulag requires the conscious and continuous pursuit of privacy. One must desire privacy, and actively seek it. The ultimate gateway to privacy online is anonymity.” – The Good Citizen

The “Free-Speech Twitter” PSYOP – “It’s never a very enjoyable experience, facing the fact that you’ve been bamboozled. Realizing that you’ve fallen prey to an elaborate con, or PYSOP, is painful. It’s embarrassing. People feel ashamed. No one likes to see themselves as a sucker. It’s humiliating. It makes people angry. It makes them want to lash out at someone. The funny thing is, it usually isn’t the person who conned them that they want to lash out at. Yes, that’s right, the jig is up. The bloom is off the rose. The cat is out of the bag. The party is over. The thrill is gone. Folks are finally starting to realize that “free-speech Twitter” was an elaborate con (or a PSYOP, depending on how paranoid you are), and they’re none too happy about this realization. So, they’re taking it out on blasphemers like me who tried to warn them about The Emperor Elonicus, and how the Twitter Files was a textbook limited hangout,” – CJ Hopkins  – GOOD ONE FROM CJ, AND THE GOOD CITIZEN HAD A SIMILAR POST LINKED ON FRIDAY AOUT THIS AS WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Global Elites’ Secret Plot Against Food: Why You Might Be Forced to Eat Lab Meat Soon! – “We live in perplexing times. It’s almost inconceivable to think that there’s a war being waged against food, an absolute and undeniable necessity of life. Yet, here we stand, on the precipice of what looks like a catastrophic agenda against global sustenance. So, what’s this newfound hostility against the thing that keeps us alive? Take a deep breath. Farming uses nitrogen, and suddenly, nitrogen is the new antagonist in the tale of global warming” – Milan Adams

No Mas – “Karma is God’s hickory switch, and almost always applied with a cosmic chortle. Things come around when a certain excess cargo of cognitive dissonance breaks the brains of those just struggling to carry on. The country has had enough — enough walking-talking hypocrisies, enough trips laid on it, enough Tik-tok lectures from the nose-rings-for-lunch-bunch. We’re at the end of something and the beginning of something new. As in: an ass-beating is coming down. Cue one Oliver Anthony, southern country boy with a flaming red beard and a new anthem for millions sore-beset by the relentless effronteries of the ruling elites. Perhaps the final insult galvanizing all this sentiment in a song was Merrick Garland’s devious Friday afternoon announcement — when, theoretically, no one was paying attention — that he appointed US Attorney David Weiss as Special Counsel in the Hunter Biden matter.” – James Howard Kunstler  –  GOOD ONE FROM MR. KUNSTLER ONCE AGAIN AND SEE YESTERDAY’S LYRIC FOR THE WEEK AND WATCH THE VIDEO OF IT AS WELL!!!

Is Anyone Surprised? Left-Wing Media Doesn’t Like ‘Rich Men North Of Richmond’ – “As soon as working men speak up in a way that runs contrary to the narrative, leftists seek to slap them back down again… Leftists across America have been triggered. That’s probably not going to come as a shock to anyone, but the establishment media and woke social media response to Oliver Anthony’s gritty coal country ballad ‘Rich Men North Of Richmond’ is less than enthusiastic.” – Tyler Durden

Now THAT Is Ridiculous – “There is a point that the in-your-face fraud reaches where one must (see) that there is no longer a functional law enforcement capacity within a part of the government. In this case that’s the entire Federal government, as this is the DOJ itself and the AG of the nation, Garland: Attorney General Merrick Garland on Friday appointed U.S. Attorney David Weiss a special counsel in the Hunter Biden probe, as well as any other matters that arose or may arise from that investigation. That alone is enough to drag Garland out of office by his hair. But there’s more: The appointment appears to be facially-illegal and Garland knows damn well that it is.” – Karl Denninger

Do People Change? – “To not seek truth outside this complex is to deny one’s freedom and to determine not to change even when it is apodictic that things are falling apart and all innocence is being drowned in a sea of lies. It’s all noise, all signal – no silence. Change begins with desire, at the personal and public level. It takes courage to face the ways we have all been wrong, missed opportunities, shrunk back, lied, refused to consider alternatives. Everyone senses that the U.S. is proceeding down a perilous road now. Everything is out of joint, the country heading for hell.” – Edward J. Curtin, Jr.

Biden Needs $24 Billion More for Ukraine – “The blank checks are never-ending. I speak of the economic impact Biden has had on our country daily. This war in Ukraine has simply been the largest money grab in recent history rivaling COVID. Biden is asking for another $24 billion in aid to Ukraine. At this point, it is nearly comical because most of us realize that Ukraine is going to ask for aid indefinitely, and our politicians willfully comply because that’s in their best interests as well.” – Martin Armstrong

Ramaswamy Vows To ‘Shut Down The Three-letter Agencies’ – “My core platform is to get in there and shut down the administrative deep state” – Steve Watson  –  MR RAMASWAMY BETTER WATCH WHAT HE SAYS OR HE WON’T BE AROUND VERY LONG.

When All Crimes Are Those Against the State – “But when governments that are already habitually overreaching appear to be going mad, it’s a good idea to step back and calmly examine whether there might not be a method in the madness. On the surface, quite a few governments – most notably First World governments – have been passing a plethora of laws for which there is no victim but for which the government is the recipient of damages. As if coincidentally, these same governments have been going in precisely the opposite direction with regard to crimes in which there most definitely is a victim. Let’s have a look at a few of those.” – Jeff Thomas

Hating fossil fuels is such a luxury belief – “The eco-aristocracy has no idea of the horrors that would be unleashed by phasing out oil and coal. It is beyond ridiculous. We’re in an energy crisis. There are people out there wondering if they can afford to boil the kettle for a third time today, and what is the literary establishment doing? Wringing its untoiled hands over energy production. Flamboyantly condemning fossil fuels, which provide 80 per cent of the world’s energy.” – Brendan O’Neill

The Economy’s ‘Red Death’ Will Come for DC, Too – “While families struggle to afford food, fuel, and essentials for young children, the White House continues to assure Americans that the economy has never been better. While the Department of Homeland Security insists that America’s borders are secure and that illegal immigration is under control, small towns across the country struggle to deal with spiking fentanyl deaths, transnational crime networks, and forced multiculturalism that often drives a wedge within communities. International trade deals that were negotiated and signed by residents of D.C. have hollowed out once thriving industrial towns and left multiple generations of blue-collar workers poor and adrift. The “Rust Belt” has never been more corroded, yet Wall Street and Washington seem to be doing better than ever.” – J.B. Shurk

Their Similarities Matter More Than Their Differences: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix – “If people really understood just how much suffering and destruction is unleashed by US foreign policy, they’d stop making such a big deal about the minor differences between two political parties who always come together to support the most destructive US foreign policy decisions.” – Caitlin Johnstone

How the Ukraine War Could Get Bigger – “The civil war between Ukraine and Russia is one of the most poorly reported conflicts that I’ve ever witnessed. Western media has shown how much it has become an arm of big government. Much of our media and the British media have faithfully parroted Washington’s official party line on the war: saintly little Ukraine versus evil Goliath Russia. Not since the US invasion of Iraq has the American media so blatantly promoted a war or so vilified a foreign leader, President Vladimir Putin.” – Eric Margolis

Something’s Rotten in the American Real Estate Market – Marie Hawthorne

The Fed Will Never Hit Its Inflation Target (VIDEO) – “A lot of these guys are highly leveraged and they’ve been gorging on a banquet of cheap money for more than a decade. The reason that everybody is waiting for inflation to go back down to the Holy Grail of 2% is so interest rates can go back down. That’s what they’re concerned about, not the price of milk or the price of gas. The price of money, credit, that’s what everybody is concerned about” – Peter Schiff

Which Countries Are Interested in Joining BRICS? – “BRICS Expansion: Who’s in the Lineup? One of the world’s newest economic alliances is gaining momentum as BRICS – comprised of original members Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – boast of a potential 40 countries that are looking to join the conglomerate. With just their original members, BRICS already represents 41.5% of the world’s population. It has a higher GDP than the G7 (31.5% of the world’s GDP compared to 30% as of 2023) and some are pegging the potential GDP of BRICS to be more than 50% by 2030.” – Peter Reagan

What If It’s Too Late To Bug Out? – “About 3.4 million people had to leave their homes in the U.S. last year due to natural disasters, including hurricanes, floods, fires, and tornadoes.” – Tricia Drevets

$100 Walmart Bug Out Bag – “The concept of being ready to bug out didn’t originate with preppers; but it is an integral part of the prepping movement. Since we preppers believe in the old Boy Scout motto of “be prepared,” we know that it’s impossible to tell in advance whether a coming disaster will require bugging in or bugging out. While our default is usually to bug in, simple prudence dictates that we have a bug out plan ready.” – Rich M
