THE BIG PICTURE

3 Ways to Keep in Step With God – “This can help place you where you need to be on life’s path.” – Kate Dreston

Preemptive War, Permanent Emergency: The Real Cost of Trump’s Iran Strike – “The military-industrial complex and the American police state have joined forces. War abroad and war at home are no longer separate enterprises. They have fused. This did not happen overnight. Every modern president has stretched the limits of war-making power. Some have shredded those limits altogether. Each time that boundary is breached, the Constitution recedes a little further. This is one of those moments.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

Channeling Muhammad Ali – “Some may remember Muhammad Ali – the great boxer – who once explained why he had no interest in being sent to Vietnam. “I ain’t got no quarrel with them Viet Cong,” he said. He is also said to have said “No Viet Cong ever called me nigger.” His point being that he didn’t want to go to Vietnam – to kill or be killed – because why would he? It was not his fight. It was not America’s fight. Draft-age young men like Ali (at the time) were being told how important it was that they put their lives on the line to end the lives of other young men (as well as women and children and old men) in a distant country that so far as they could see had not attacked this country. It did not make much sense to them. Just as it does not make much sense today. What have the Iranians done to America? Americans are told they are planning to do awful things but is there any reason to believe this? Americans have been told for something like the past 35 years – by “Bibi” Netanyahu – that the Iranians are furtively developing nukes they never seem to develop and that if they ever do develop them, they are certain to use them against the United States. In fact, what “Bibi” dreads is the prospect of Iran being able to defend itself against the Rothschild colony he is the leader of.” – Eric Peters

The Golden Age of Ba’al The Great Deceiver and Beast – “The brutal assassination of the Ayatollah and his family has a parallel – the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution wherein Tzar Nickolas and his entire family were tortuously murdered. The Golden Age that was ushered in as a direct result was hell that lasted 80-90 years before recovery could be measured. But Trump has added a completely new layer to his ‘utopia’ vision, ushering in the AntiChrist per Revelations. Nothing could be finer than believing that anarchic annihilation of multiple countries and their civilizations will cause Lucifer to clap his hands in joy and show himself alongside Trump and Netanyahu in one Big Embrace. Both Netanyahu and Trump have revealed themselves to be great deceivers. Liars.  Russia is only now fully comprehending the extent of the deceit and realizing its impact on them. A shift in its handling of Zelenskky and Ukraine may reverberate as a result.” – Helena Glass

The Iranian ink blot – “Assessing the geopolitics. Iran seems to have become the great global ink blot, a world-spanning Rorschach test at once of surpassing complexity, scope, and divisiveness. The responses thereto come from 100 angles each likely revealing as much about the speaker as about the events themselves and, to be honest, an awful lot of what is being said is just plain bunk, made up facts, faulty calculations, emotive slop, and outright rage baited lunacy crashing into an already toxic political environment governed by rank tribalism. Meanwhile, like it or lump it, a new world order rooted not in the soft power deference (some would say capitulation) but in the hard power exigencies of what was once called the “great game” among great powers is being forged” – El Gato Malo

What Happens Next In Iran? Decapitation, Quagmire Or WWIII? -“Before I begin this analysis of the situation in the Middle East and its consequences, I want to warn people that this examination is going to be largely secular and nuanced; which means people on both sides of the divide are going to piss and moan about it. Frankly, I don’t care. To be clear, I’m not interested in the “plight” of the Palestinians, the Islamic regime in Iran or the conspiracy theories of “groypers.” I find appeals of empathy and compassion for Islamic societies to be naive – They are perfectly indifferent and hostile to the west, they always have been. In fairness, I also don’t care about the Israeli government and I have no vested interest in whether or not they survive. I recognize many Christians would disagree with this position in the belief that Israel is the only western ally keeping watch over the Holy Land. I argue that it should be western Christians (not Israelis) in charge of the region, given it was ours (through the Holy Roman Empire) for centuries, until the Muslim hordes invaded. I’m also aware that there are numerous disinformation agents online who are paid by both sides. Israel as well as Islamic governments run these digital operations constantly.” – Brandon Smith  – AGREE OR DISAGREE, STILL A GOOD ANALYSIS FROM BRANDON, AS USUAL, I TRY TO SHOW ALL SIDES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is the White House Actually the Overlook Hotel East? – “The repeated snows in our region bring to mind great winter horror stories. It’s not so bad, weather-wise, but something is seriously psychologically wrong in DC. I’m afraid the “J” in DJT is for Jack, and it looks like all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Our Jack is looking ragged, his thought processes increasingly unstable since he started this expanding war against Iran, for no reason beyond Israel wanted him to divide up the IRGC’s target field throughout the Middle East,” – Karen Kwiatkowski

Reflections from the Heart of the Empire: Of Dunces, Dustbins, and Destinies – “Our Mad Emperor has steered our tottering Empire into a war it cannot possibly win, for a cause not its own, in a place replete with historical dustbins. At least he won’t be lonely when he arrives at his own unavoidable destination. Operation Epic Fail Fury, they call it, of all the bloody arrogant bombastic names. “Bombing a country on the other side of the globe won’t make the Epstein files go away.”—Representative Tom Massie(R-Kentucky). True, but it just might Make America Go Away from the entire Middle East.” – Ohio Barbarian  – GOOD REFLECTIONS AS USUAL FROM THE BARBARIAN!!!

The Many Perils of America’s War on Iran – “Hegseth Boasts of War Without Mercy; What We Need Is Merciful Peace. Hegseth also doesn’t know something fundamental: You can’t do a wrong thing the right way. The Iran War is wrong. It’s illegal, unconstitutional, immoral, and also extremely dangerous. There’s no way to prevail in a war fought for the wrong reasons, a war fought without clear goals, a war that is already beginning to spiral out of control. But Hegseth thinks if the U.S. launches enough missiles, drops enough bombs, and torpedoes enough ships, somehow the U.S. will “win.”” – Bill Astore

Divide et Impera (Divide and Rule) – “The recent, more extensive release of the Epstein Files was the closest the ruling class has come to being exposed in centuries. The war in Iran changed the subject. As I write this post, I can already hear the protests that I am “defending the monstrous Iranian regime.” NO I AM NOT. I am merely reiterating the wisdom of our Founding Fathers—starting with President Washington’s Farewell Address of 1796—that it is NOT the responsibility of the American people to slay the world’s monsters.” – John Leake  – GOOD ARTICLE FROM JOHN. AGREE WITH THIS ONE PRETTY MUCH 100%!!!

Rubio Says US Had to Strike Iran Because Iran Would Defend Itself If Attacked – “The conflicting explanation comes as CENTCOM is reportedly calling for troops to “Be Relentlessly Lethal.” ” -Sharon Zhang

Rubio’s Preposterous Preventive War Argument – “There is in fact no “kick them while they’re down” exception to the prohibition on the use of force. Marco Rubio tries to spin U.S.-Israeli aggression: This is Rubio’s attempt at damage control, but this answer is even worse than the one he gave the day before. If the U.S. and Israel hadn’t attacked, U.S. forces weren’t going to get “hit” at all. The president’s threat against Iran was the main reason that American troops were in any danger in the first place. Trump put them all in harm’s way the moment he gave the order to strike. The president chose to get Americans killed and injured for no good reason. That is the shameful policy that Rubio is so ineptly defending.” – Daniel Larison

US Commanders Tell Troops War With Iran Is Preparing For Armageddon And The Return Of Jesus. Rubio Admits That Israel Dragged The US Into War With Iran, Trump Floats Sending Ground Troops – “He urged us to tell our troops that this was “all part of God’s divine plan,” and that “Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return…” – The WinePress

Congress to America: What War? – “The White House refuses to call its war in Iran a war, instead labeling it “major combat operations” — a maneuver to keep Congress out of the picture. And believe it or not, Congress is going along with it. Setting aside the absurdity of the question of if killing a head of state is an act of war, there’s a deadly serious question here: what even is war anymore? Does last month’s killing of a Mexican cartel leader like El Mencho count? Or how about the kidnapping of Venezuelan ruler Nicolas Maduro the month before?” – Ken Klippenstein

Good Riddance, Jasmine Crockett Texas – “Democrats have had enough of her traveling circus. I have, too. The results of Tuesday’s Democratic primary in Texas delivered a clear political message: voters are tired of listening to Rep. Jasmine Crockett. And thank fucking god she lost, because I am too. Crockett, who spent much of her short national career cultivating a reputation as the politician who can constantly be wrong the loudest and with the most attitude, was defeated by Texas state Rep. James Talarico, who was nowhere near as prominent on national television and who many people have likely ever heard of.” – Quoth the Raven

Rare case of American corporate responsibility by a major tech firm pays off big – “Trump administration tried to destroy Anthropic because it refused to make its AI tools available for mass government surveillance and for use in autonomous weapons systems for the Pentagon. “CNBC is reporting that Anthropic’s Claude artificial intelligence assistant app jumped to the No. 1 slot on Apple’s chart of top U.S. free apps late on Saturday, a day after the Trump administration sought to block government agencies’ adoption of the startup’s technology. Anthropic refused to agree to the Pentagon’s demands that its AI tech allow a back door for the government to spy on Americans while in the same breath claiming that it would never do such a thing.” – Leo Hohmann

Recession Watch: Is Private Credit The New Subprime Mortgage? – “While oil was spiking, pretty much everything else tanked on the news that this latest war might last weeks rather than days: But neither oil nor war is our biggest problem.

London’s Hidden Financial Front in the Iran Conflict – “When War Risk Insurance Breaks, Trade Breaks. What allows the voyage to occur is an insurance contract. Without insurance, banks will not finance the cargo, ports will not accept the vessel, and charterers will not sign the voyage. Insurance, in other words, functions as the license that permits global commerce to operate. The most important financial consequence of the Iran conflict may therefore have little to do with oil prices. It may instead involve stress in the insurance system that underwrites maritime trade.” – Alexander Muse

Fed is Adding $20B a Month to the Balance Sheet – “The new presumptive Fed Chair Warsh has said that he does not like the use of the Fed balance sheet. Unfortunately, he will likely find it far harder to shrink than he would like. The only reason 2026 is showing as negative is the reduction of Reverse Repos in January.” – Peter Schiff

Is Graphene The Next Big Boom? (VIDEO) with Kjirstin Breure – “Have you heard of graphene? It’s a 2-dimensional variety of the element carbon — known as a carbon “allotrope” — — consisting of a single layer of carbon atoms tightly bound in a hexagonal honeycomb lattice. Graphene is known for its exceptionally high tensile strength, electrical conductivity, transparency, and being the thinnest two-dimensional material in the world. Despite the nearly transparent nature of a single graphene sheet, graphite (formed from stacked layers of graphene) appears black because it absorbs all visible light wavelengths. On a microscopic scale, graphene is the strongest material ever measured. Graphene is a versatile, ultra-strong, and highly conductive material used to enhance batteries (faster charging), create durable anti-corrosion coatings, develop flexible electronics, improve solar panel efficiency, and advance biomedical applications like drug delivery. It acts as a super-material additive in composites, strengthening everything from tennis rackets to car tires.” – Adam Taggart | Thoughtful Money®  – THEY HAVE  BEEN TOUTING GRAPHENE FOR SEVERAL YEARS, FIRST STARTED LINKING ABOUT IT IN 2018.

Should You Add Livestock To Your Homestead? 10 Questions To Ask Before You Start – “Every spring, like clockwork, the feed stores fill up with fluffy chicks. Social media is covered in baby goats. Your neighbor posts about fresh eggs. And suddenly you’re asking yourself: Is this the year we finally add livestock to our homestead? If you’re craving more self-sufficiency, better food security, and a deeper connection to your land, adding animals can feel like the natural next step. But livestock is a serious commitment financially, physically, and emotionally. Before you bring home that first chick, goat, or calf, let’s walk through what you really need to consider.” – Homesteaders of America

New Research Reveals The Truth About Bentonite Clay – “For homestead life, bentonite clay has long held a quiet place of honor. It sits in mason jars beside baking soda and Epsom salt. It gets stirred into face masks, dabbed on bug bites, and sometimes even mixed into water as a “detox.” Here’s the key takeaway. Bentonite behaves less like a magical internal chelator and more like a heavy-duty sponge. In other words, it mostly stays inside the digestive tract. It doesn’t roam through your bloodstream pulling mercury from your bones. Instead, it sits in the gut and binds charged molecules and metals present in the intestinal contents, carrying them out in the stool. That distinction matters. It means bentonite can reduce what gets absorbed into circulation in the first place—but it is not vacuuming decades of stored toxins out of tissues. For off-grid readers dealing with questionable grain storage, mold-prone barns, or livestock feed risks, that gut-level binding effect isn’t trivial. Preventing absorption at the door is often easier than trying to fix damage later.” – Bill Heid

THE BIG PICTURE

No Hiding Place – “As the immortal first verses of Ecclesiastes Chapter 3 remind us, everything has its time, including God’s wrath. Does this mean the US and Israeli attacks on Iran are akin to a holy war—a crusade? No. There is nothing holy about war, and this war, brief as it has been, is no exception. It does mean that the US and Israel are but instruments of the consequences God has decreed for Iran. It also means that consequence will eventually come for the United States and Israel as well. No matter how righteous the intent, no matter how certain each nation is that its actions against Iran are right and righteous, the United States and Israel will each receive its due measure of consequence in its time. There was no hiding place for Khamenei. There will be no hiding place for Israel. There will be no hiding place for the United States. ” – Peter Nayland Kust

Wars and Rumors of Wars – “Trump and Netanyahu open the gates of Hell. So now the die is cast and the United States has joined Israel in an unprovoked attack on a non-threatening Iran to destroy its military capabilities and to bring about regime change. This is a major mis-step that could easily turn out very badly as it is a pointless war of choice that could easily escalate to neighboring states and become nuclear if a reckless Israel decides it needs to “defend” itself against an Iranian response. US Navy vessels might also find themselves vulnerable to Iranian missiles.” – Philip Giraldi

PSYOP-WW3 GUEST POST: Rational Skepticism in the Fog of War – “For those who are sure that what is happening to Iran is about freeing the people, I would highly suggest you educate yourself about something called the Yinon Plan, which was published in 1982, and details a strategy to fragment and balkanize the Middle East so Israel could pursue its “greater Israel” strategy of seizing much of the land from its neighbors. In it, Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Syria, and finally, Iran, are targeted as essential to destroying resistance to the plan. I would also direct you to General Wesley Clark’s warning after 9-11, when he came to the pentagon and heard the full neocon plan, Took a bit longer, but neocons, and the bankers, and Israel, are patient and persistent. In other words, if you are ignorant of the Yinon Plan and how it lays out the strategy Netanyahu has advanced since his book in 1985, you are ignorant of why these events are occurring. The reason they haven’t varied the “free the people” idiocy is because there is a segment of the American population that buys it every time, and is too dim and lacking in self-awareness to understand the bigger game afoot.” – Russel Blake via 2nd Smartest Guy in the World     – HAVE LINKED THE VIDEO OF  WESLEY CLARK WARNING BEFORE, BUT HERE IT IS AGAIN AND ALSO AS A BONUS VIDEO FOR TODAY!!!

The Merger That Needed A War (VIDEO) – “I need your focus for a few minutes on something that slipped through the noise today, and may not get another window soon. While Israel struck Iran and the United States moved in behind them, while every newsroom in the country was [rightly] covering one of the most consequential moments in years, Oracle Corporation quietly published a blog post announcing that the U.S. government had authorized it to run generative AI on federal government data. That means pattern recognition, automated data analysis, and decision-making tools now approved to operate on your Medicare records and military systems, cleared at the highest civilian and Department of Defense security levels. (And yes, Oracle also just took over the infrastructure running your Medicaid and ACA data — that happened this week too, and we’ll get there.)” – The Drey Dossier

The full moon was a major symbol of the Persian Empire. Their calendar was lunar. The crescent and star that later became associated with Islam actually has roots in ancient Persian and Mesopotamian symbolism. The moon goddess was huge in that region for thousands of years before anyone showed up with a Bible.” – Lily-Rose Dawson  – INTERESTING READ FROM LILY

Yeah, OK, we get it. you’re the Big Cheese and you make the big decisions. However, Anthropic had a whole different interpretation of the situation. They released a statement before Trump went on his rant. Anthropic basically said the US government wanted to use its AI tech to carry out surveillance of American citizens, and also to deploy autonomous military weapons—and the company couldn’t agree to those uses:” – Jon Rappoport

The War With Iran – “End It Now” – Bert Powers / (John Barleycorn)  – SHORT AND TO THEPOINT. AGREE 100% WITH BERT ON THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What Happens Now? – “The war we all knew was coming that almost no one except the secular religious maniacs – Zionists and their shills – wanted is on. Iran, which hasn’t attacked any other country, is under attack by this country and that other country that has acquired operational control over this country. Iranians are dead and more will be, which is no trivial thing if you are troubled by the killing – the murder – of other people by agents who claim to be acting on your behalf, that you were compelled to finance via the money they take from you to build bombs and such to kill other people with. It makes you complicit without your consent, which is doubly awful because what can you do about it? Americans may be dead as I type this also. Americans may wonder why it is that they are dying in the Middle East (again) for reasons that have nothing to do with their own interests. It is a question more Americans appear to be asking than ever before. Americans, by and large, did not want this war. Yet they are now at war. It is an incredible thing. The Iranians know that if they lose, Iran becomes something like the Gimp in Pulp Fiction. This is understood and it is why the fight back will likely be all-out. Ask yourself what you’d do if faced with a similar fight. Would you use anything you had to hurt and hopefully maim and kill your attacker? Of course you would.” – Eric Peters

Operation Epstein’s Fury Is A Roaring Success! – “Bibi Netanyahu has again salvaged his prime ministership, and the hapless Donald Trump hopes the markets won’t move too badly this week. After all, his advisors and partners told him this would be easy, and good for his presidency. A cakewalk, if you will. Israel will do the heavy lifting, they said. Saturday’s attack on Iran was posed as a decapitation strike; it also decapitated several dozen schoolgirls in southern Iran within the first few hours, but that’s just war, right? Much like his penchant for regime change, Trump, like his predecessors, also believes in nanny-stating the rest of the world. Support and coziness with terror groups, like ISIS or Hamas? Only allowed when Israel and the US do it. Trump and Bibi – and past US administrations – bedhop with the best of them, and they are jealous bitches. This is not America’s war. But it is important to DC. It slowrolls the Epstein fallout and diverts attention from Trump’s anti-MAGA subservience to the ruling elite and Israel. We’ve seen it before, with Clinton’s Monica missiles, and how George W. Bush’s unpopular low energy performance that was suddenly cured when he looked up from his book about goats to become the most popular fascist centralizer since FDR.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

Iran is not Iraq – “Washington confronts a different kind of war” – Fyodor Lukyanov

Murder and Martyrdom in Iran What Is Really at Stake in the War to Determine the Future of Iran? – “The partnership of the United States and Israel is now embodied in the perverse relationship between Trump and Netanyahu. This lurid partnership forms the lynch pin enabling the world’s greatest practitioners and exporters of mass terrorism to continue their monumental crime spree with impunity. The wicked and radical partnership between Trump and Netanyahu is taking to heightened levels the diabolical collaboration energizing recent rounds of state-sponsored atrocities. This corporatist tsunami of US-Israel-backed terrorism threatens to soak the earth with even greater outpourings of blood and guts. The murder of Ayatollah Khamenei adds to the infamy of the long list of martyred Muslim leaders assassinated by the thugs encircling the Jewish supremacist mob boss, Bibi Netanyahu. Netanyahu epitomizes the Luciferian core currently embodying the war mongering essence of the Judeo-Christian heritage these days.” – Anthony James Hall

Iran Attack Escalation May Hurt China’s Economy More Than Anyone – “Every time there is tension in the Middle East, we read that Iran will close the Strait of Hormuz. It is important to remind readers that Iran has never actually shut down the strait. It has threatened to do so many times but has never followed through. Moreover, a closure of the Strait of Hormuz would primarily hurt China, as about 76% of traffic through it goes to the Asian giant, with less than 4% going to the United States and around 7% to the European Union. China is one of the few key partners of the Iranian regime, purchasing close to 90% of Iran’s exports. A shutdown would therefore damage China the most,” – Daniel Lacalle

Becuase this topic is so deadly serious, we have compiled our top bug out bag checklists and evacuation planning guides to help you formulate a plan of action. Bugging out without a place to go is a recipe for disaster. You need to know exactly where you’re going and exactly how you are going to get there, including alternate routes in case your plans go bad. Planning to live off the land without ever having done it before is not going to work. Don’t be one of those people who thinks he’s going to be some wilderness nomad wandering the countryside. Evacuating increases your risk of being attacked during an extreme crisis, such as a disaster where people may be targeting those with supplies. You need to weigh the options carefully, and always keep self-defense in mind.” – Robert Richardson

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

Comin’ through this business of life
There’s rarely time if I’m needed to
Ain’t so funny when things ain’t feelin’ right
Then daddy’s hand helps to see me through
Sweet as sugar love won’t wash away
Rain or shine, it always here to stay
All these years you and I’ve spent together
All this, we just couldn’t stand the weather

Like a train that stops at every station
We all deal with trials and tribulations
Fear hangs the fell
ow that ties up his years
Entangled in yellow and cries all his tears
Changes come before we can go
Learn to see them before we’re too old
Don’t just take me for tryin’ to be heavy
Understand, it’s time to get ready for the storm

( Couldn’t Stand The Weather by  Stevie Ray Vaughan )

THE BIG PICTURE

Is Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei Alive or Dead? UPDATE: He’s DEAD – “According to multiple confirmations following visible evidence of his body, news is now widely spreading throughout the middle east that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is DEAD. This could rapidly escalate an end to the U.S. military operation, through regime change. We await confirmation of this news from President Donald Trump.” – Sundance  – ON TRUTH SOCIAL, TRUMP IS CLAIMING SUCH, BUT PRIMARILY USING ISRAELI SOURCES LIKE HIS BUDDY, BIBI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Byzantium 2.0? – The “Financialist” type can be defined with precision. Its members derive power and profit not from production, innovation, or trade—what we should call “licit” wealth creation—but from financial engineering, the manipulation of debt, control of currency issuance, and the extraction of rent from the productive economy. When BlackRock manages $10 trillion in assets—a sum greater than the economies of all but three nations—it exercises power that’s not merely economic but fundamentally political. When the chair of the Federal Reserve can move markets with a single sentence, that’s power without societal mandate. When Treasury secretaries and central bankers move seamlessly between government service and employment by the very institutions they once regulated, that’s not conspiracy; it’s type cohesion.” – E.M. Burlingame

It’s a 75% Trumpian World. And That Means Global Renaissance. – “The whole world watched Tuesday night. And everyone sane will want what the Americans will have. Governments will topple. Systems fail. Elites jailed. There will be more parties. Absurdistan approves. Ok, it will be slow. But in the meantime, we get to watch elite panic, which is, admit delicious. Ariane Rothschild (“what a great hunt!”) had to emit some smoke to her investors last week protesting virtue and casting herself as victim. Mysteriously, the number of Rothschild references in the files has dropped from 12,000 mentions to 83. Listen, Ariane, it was all captured and filed away weeks ago, you blithering child-hunting cannibal. In my opinion.” – Elizabeth Nickson

Moving to Escape the Spanbergering? – “Virginia has gone very deep blue. Possibly forever blue. Leftists – this idea that there are still “Democrats” in a party controlled by Leftists is just silly – control the state legislature, the governorship and the attorney generalship. The majority of the state is still red, but has that made any difference in Washington or Oregon or California? It is not likely to make much difference in Virginia, either. So – what is to be done? One option – to leave the state for some other state, where the situation is said to be better – is often suggested. But is it actually – meaningfully – better in any other state? To some extent, yes” – Eric Peters

The Champions of Dystopia – “One gets the feeling that the GOP has officially resigned. An issue that has an 80-20 favorability nationwide cannot be passed by the US Senate. That’s not just Republicans. For them, it’s a 96-4 issue and they still can’t muster the votes, because they don’t want to. They don’t want election integrity, because then they’d win and by winning they lose. Campaign contributions come flowing in when the Democrats are in charge and since the Democrats use NGO funds for their campaigns rather than voter donations (though they get a lot of them, too) they don’t have to please the voters. All they have to please are the rabid leftists within their party, the globalists, the anti-Americans, the open borders crowd.” – T.L. Davis

Think Dems’ ‘Tax The Rich’ Policies Will Make America Better Off? Just Take A Look At California – “Politicians love nothing more than spending, as our dangerously surging fiscal deficits clearly show. But rather than cut unnecessary spending, which would be the most logical thing, Democrats continue to push the dumbest non-solution for our soaring spending, deficits, and debt: tax the rich. When asked why he robbed banks, Depression-era bank-robber Willie Sutton reportedly responded: “Because that’s where the money is.”” – I & I Editorial Board

The dark side of the House of Windsor – “There is certainly something rotten flowing in the depths of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Andrew, who is no longer a prince, duke, earl, or baron, having lost all his titles and the rights associated with them, nevertheless remains the brother of King Charles III, the current sovereign of the United Kingdom. If we are referring to controversies involving the British royal family, however, the figure of Charles III quickly brings us to the strange death of Princess Diana, who was once the wife of the British king when he was still the Prince of Wales. Diana was Princess of Wales and wife of the current King Charles from 1981 until 1996, when she divorced him. We will never know the real reasons for the divorce, beyond the publicly given explanations, which include, for example, the prince’s infidelities, as well as constant pressure from the royal family on her. But then there are those who insist that part of Diana’s tensions with the royal family involved much deeper secrets that the princess allegedly became aware of, including the involvement of royal family members with pedophilia and sexual abuse. We cannot be certain about anything of that sort, but Jimmy Savile’s friendship with members of the British royal family is certainly disconcerting.” – Raphael Machado

Cuba faces ‘zero hour’ as Trump, Rubio put squeeze on regime – “Cuba’s communist government is facing a breaking point in its battle for survival under pressure from President Trump, whose energy quarantine against the country is aimed at collapsing the regime. The consequences are hitting the population of 10 million people hard, with the U.S. fuel blockade exacerbating a decades-long economic crisis, disrupting access to water and worsening food and medicine shortages. ” – Laura Kelly

Bad Bunny Super Bowl lyrics were OK, says the FCC; I have questions – “Basically, the FCC closed the Bad Bunny investigation. No harm, no foul. Their judgment went like this: Yes, the original lyrics of his songs were dirty, describing sex acts graphically and so on, but you see, those lyrics were scrubbed before the Super Bowl and other words were substituted. Really? I’d like to know exactly how you substitute words for penis and vagina and the descriptions of sex.” – Jon Rappoport

There’s A Good Reason Why Russia Is Closely Monitoring the Latest Afghan-Pakistani Clashes – “Russia envisages Afghanistan serving as the irreplaceable transit state for pioneering another North-South Transport Corridor, albeit this time between itself and Pakistan, but this master plan will remain unfulfilled as long as those two’s grievances against one another aren’t adequately addressed.” – Andrew Korybko

The Missing Ingredient in Modern Life: Being Truly Needed – “Now here’s the hard truth: no amount of acreage, gardening expertise, or backyard chickens will fix that emptiness if you carry it with you. You can move a hundred miles from the nearest city and still wake up every morning feeling like an extra in your own life. Because the missing ingredient isn’t land. It isn’t money. It isn’t even independence. It’s being truly needed… by real people, in real time, for things that actually matter.” – Bill Heid

THE BIG PICTURE

The Decay of our Quality of Life No Longer Aligns with the Narrative – “It’s not just how much money you have, it’s whether you still have access to everything of immeasurable value that’s destroyed in being monetized. I’ve set aside our standard of living in favor of our quality of life because standard of living is so easily gamed with financial statistics. You know the drill: as life becomes increasingly unaffordable and precarious, we’re inundated with statistics purporting to back up the claim that life is getting better, every day, in every way, because Progress is, well, progressing, and AI is soon going to make everything better in ways we can’t even imagine. This narrative is straight out a pulp science-fiction story circa 1956: there will soon be orbiting data centers, a base on the moon, it will be fantastic Progress, with a capital P.” – Charles Hugh Smith

Trump Cheers Lethal Doxxing – “State of the Union affirms national security state’s greatest show on Earth. “We’ve…taken down one of the most sinister cartel kingpins of all,” Donald Trump said in his celebration of the national security state last night. The capability to do this is not static. Strikes like those on Maduro and El Mencho are more and more feasible today because of the wealth of data that was never available before, as quickly, or as precisely targeted: data produced by phones and computers, the digital exhaust of social media, the emanations of cars and the vast Internet of Things gadgets, such as Ring cameras. That data is processed in ways that are faster and faster and with greater and greater precision. The objective is real-time geolocation. What Trump celebrated in the State of the Union—and what no one has really named—is this practice that I call lethal doxxing: the acquisition of someone’s most sensitive personal information revealing their up-to-the-moment location, followed by the lethal part. It’s doxxing at nation-state scale, with a kill chain attached.” – Ken Klippenstein  – PEOPLE SEEM TO BE OK WITH THIS AND SEEM TO THINK THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS. WAIT UNTIL THEY START DOING THIS TO CITIZENS THEY DON’T LIKE INSTEAD OF SO-CALLRD DICTATORS!!!

NEWS

The State Of Disunion – “Not being a sado-masochist I did not watch one second of Trump’s first State of the Union of his second term. Everyone knew what it would be: The real state of the union, something Trump won’t say because he prefers empty rhetoric and jerking off to himself on stage, is that things are bad and getting worse. The Union is ruptured beyond repair. People are unhappy and angry, and many are ready to take out their frustration on others via violence. If we had any adults in charge we would be having a conversation about how to peacefully dissolve the Union but the people in charge are stupid and evil. You can’t overstate just how dumb these people are, on both sides of the aisle. Instead of hitting the brakes and calling a timeout before we go over the cliff, the two sides who are in reality the same, are making things worse in the belief that they will be insulated from the chaos of collapse. Many powerful people in history have thought they were untouchable, right up until the noose tightened around their neck, the guillotine blade dropped and the commander order the squad to fire.” – Arthur Sido

Some of the Golden Points of the President’s Golden Era – “Big Real Estate, Big Pharma and Big Tech Get Checked.Taking a break from the things I could say about some of Trump’s lies and distortions in his State of the Disunion address, I want to focus on three particularly smart and positive things the would-be king is ordering up to help the little guy in 2026 in order to clamp down on the super-bigs that devour to much of the American pie.” – David Haggith

The SOTU: Two Hours Of Demons Unbound And Rightwing Statism On The Boil – “Well, if there was ever any doubt, now we know. Donald J. Trump is a very badly deformed personality, who is a walking grievance machine. And he has turned his own demons into a toxic form of Rightwing Statism which threatens to ruin what is left of free market prosperity and constitutional liberty in America. Having apparently accumulated 79 years worth of the wrongs, slights, rebukes, disses and disappointments, the Donald is now, and for most of his adult life has been, all about getting even. He pursues his revenges via a combination of self-glorifying braggadocio and pugilistic verbal aggression against any and all designated enemies who come to his mind at any given moment.” – David Stockman

IRAN CONFLICT COULD DRAIN U.S. MISSILE DEFENSES—UNDERSCORING THE PENTAGON’S PUSH FOR DIRECTED-ENERGY WEAPONS – “Directed-energy weapons—whetherhigh-energy lasers or high-power microwaves—promise a different kind of defensive capability. One measured less in how many interceptors you can physically load and more in how much power you can produce and how effectively you can shed heat between shots. In theory, that shifts the air-defense equation away from finite missile inventories and toward endurance—an advantage that looks increasingly attractive as modern air defense proves both indispensable and relentlessly consumptive.” – Tim McMillan

Hidden Changes Taking Place in the Gold & Silver Markets – “They don’t want you to notice. Something fundamental is shifting in gold and silver right now, and most investors are still staring at the daily candles instead of the structural plumbing beneath them. For decades, the paper market dictated the price and the physical market followed obediently behind. COMEX would set the tone, London would reinforce it, and physical buyers would accept whatever quote appeared on the screen. But that dynamic is quietly evolving.” – Kerry Lutz

One Cause of Silver’s Recent Volatility – “Quite a rollercoaster we silver stackers are on. The metal’s price gaps up, making us geniuses. Then it tanks, replacing our self-regard with angst. And then it does it all again. Some behind-the-scenes games are definitely being played, and here’s one of them: Start with the fact that Jane Street, a semi-obscure investment bank, recently acquired a huge position in the physical silver ETF SLV. Here is a clear, professional explanation of the typical high-level strategy these sophisticated quantitative firms use: They first accumulate a sufficiently large position in SLV shares, large enough to influence market price action when required. When the majority of traders and retail investors turn strongly bullish, put options (which profit from a price decline) become very cheap. They then buy these put options in huge quantities. At the right moment, they dump their entire accumulated share position all at once. This sudden heavy selling creates a sharp, unexpected crash, This kind of manipulation is unhealthy for any market. It is concerning how regulatory authorities appear to turn a blind eye to such practices.” – John Rubino  – GOOD EXPLANATION OF HOW THIS FORM OF MANIPULATION WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Silver Manipulation Manifesto: Jane Street Must be Stopped Shut Jane Street down. – “Free silver. Restore truth. Jane Street isn’t a market participant. It’s a predator, prowling the ticker tape with high-speed algorithms designed not to serve liquidity, but to control it. And now, unbelievably, it sits atop the silver market — holding over $1.6 billion in SLV, more than 20.6 million shares, over 3.6% of the entire ETF. The fastest trading firm in the world is now the biggest paper gatekeeper of silver, one of the most volatile commodities on Earth. That’s not investment. That’s colonization.” – The Silver Academy
