THE BIG PICTURE

God Is Trustworthy. Men Are Not. – “The priests of the Temple wanted the people of Israel to follow them—to follow men. Peter, in preaching the Good News of Jesus Christ, wanted the people of Israel to follow God. We need no profound revelation of faith to understand that, whenever the choice is between God and Man, the right choice is always God.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Extractive Capitalism – “Gusher Up, Trickle Down, Leads Me to a Sinking Feeling. We’ve been living through a brutal experiment of how much work and wealth can be extracted from the working- and middle classes and funneled upward before the former are exhausted. It’s truly amazing how much wealth is being extracted from workers. The tax code targets wages more than capital gains. Inflation (gas, groceries, and other essentials) cuts into largely fixed incomes. Health care costs continue to rise and are the leading cause of personal bankruptcies. Higher education often leads to onerous student debt that cannot be discharged through personal bankruptcy. Workers are bombarded with ads to bet money on sports using apps on their phones. Lottery tickets are everywhere, selling the dream of a financial windfall at very long odds. Expensive prescription drugs are sold as a solution to excessive weight and even to addiction to other drugs such as opioids. The term “debt slavery” describes the status of many Americans;” -Bill Astore

“Resembles a Turtle” – “Some brilliant person put up a bunch of Missing Person flyers around downtown DC. The flyers describe 84-year-old Senator Mitch McConnell – last seen actually alive, for sure – back in June – as “turtle like” – along with a picture that makes the point. Well, an AIgenerated image (probably) of the Dirty Old Turtle, as he is unaffectionately known. The whole thing reached a level of absurdity – and criminality – weeks ago. It is coming up on two months since the Dirty Old Turtle disappeared from public view and going on two weeks now since the AI generated image of him sitting up in bed, looking like a healthy Dirty Old Turtle with his cheerful looking wife by his side was issued as proof of life. If that image weren’t AI-generated, the Dirty Old Turtle ought to have been out of bed by now – or at least in front of a camera. We’re told – and they actually think we’ll believe it – that the Dirty Old Turtle is just recovering from a mild fall and a bout of not-so-serious pneumonia.” -Eric Peters

Welcome to the mega-war: Mideast and European conflicts merge, sucking in more countries along the way—even ones claiming neutrality – “Wars in Iran and Ukraine are increasingly overlapping while also expanding, as the U.S. mulls whether to make another attempt at delivering a knockout blow against Tehran.” – Jason Ma

Get ready to flee, Americans in ten countries warned as US embassies issue stark alert over spiraling Iran war – “The US Embassy has urgently advised US citizens across the Middle East to ‘consider departing or be ready to depart if there is an escalation,’ just hours after Trump signaled fresh strikes on Iran could come as soon as this weekend. The warning now covers 10 countries: the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, Oman, Iraq, Jordan, Israel, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and, most recently, Egypt. ” – Kelly Garino

US Careens Into Senseless Iran Escalation Amidst Lack of Options – “Netanyahu’s recent visit to DC has come with marching orders, which according to reports Trump is dutifully following with plans for launching a major strike campaign against Iran’s energy infrastructure. We don’t know yet for certain if it will happen, but there are definitely signs, such as this account which follows US carrier group movements indicating that carriers always begin distancing themselves from Iranian shores just before major onslaughts:” – Simplicius

THE BIG PICTURE

Ceuta as the bridge too far and the fulcrum of change – “One thing is certain: everywhere clan Soros crops up, this disease spreads. They are the plague rats of institutional and incentive capture and like them or hate them, they are incredibly effective. Spain looks to be in real danger of falling as a nation. They created a mass amnesty for illegal immigrants from places that do not believe in spain but only in tribe and who do not believe in rights but only in who may dominate whom. if one seeks to be a wrecker, it’s a brilliant incentive. pardon a million and give them access to your social safety networks and welfare payments which fund a lifestyle far in excess of where they came from. The media is, predictably, either ignoring this or pretending it’s a humanitarian crisis of families and babies. it’s not. this is damn near all men. and they are not behaving well.” – El Gato Malo

BlackRock’s Larry Fink Says AI Data Centers Are Going To Be The Next Revolution In Finance,’ As Trump Says ‘You Can’t Fight Against’ Data Centers – “”It’s very important because you have to convince your community how great these things [are] — you can’t fight it, you have to go with it,” Trump said.” – The WinePress

The Plot to Poison Farmland with Sewage Sludge… and Then Take It Out of Production – “Companies like DuPont and 3M are knowingly poisoning our water and farmland with PFAS “forever chemicals.” They’re not doing it just for profit, or population control, or to make us sick and tired so we can’t resist their rule. Those are side benefits. They’re waiting for the day when they can say that real food is too toxic, even (especially?) the organic farms need to be shut down, and we have no choice but to eat synthetic food made from genetically modified microorganisms raised on waste. That time is drawing near, so we’re hearing a lot about the problem of PFAS, the government is starting to use it as an excuse to condemn farmland, and the corporate overlords are starting to roll out their Frankenfood solution.” – Alexis Baden-Mayer

Ancient Structures From Canada No One Can Explain! (VIDEO) – “From a prehistoric medicine wheel older than the pyramids and eerie Arctic stone faces to forgotten Indigenous earthworks, mysterious runic carvings hidden deep in the forest, and the terrifying Valley of Headless Men, these incredible places continue to leave archaeologists searching for answers. Some of these mysteries have finally been solved, while others remain as baffling today as they were centuries ago. Let’s dive in.” – Origins Explained

‘Genetically Altered’ Nuclear Monster Sharks Could Be Eating Whales – “Just what we need right now… A mysterious predator has been tearing into whales, seals, and giant tuna off the New York coast, leaving bite marks the size of dinner plates and sparking theories of a radioactive “Sharkzilla” spawned by decades of government nuclear waste dumping. Because nothing says summer 2026 like the possibility that Cold War bureaucrats cooked up a genetically enhanced killing machine in the Atlantic.” – Steve Watson

NEWS

The First Waves of the Paradigm Shift Have Arrived – “The tsunami hasn’t. Yet. But it’s building. The first warning waves are already eroding the vacationland shore of establishment politics, both in the United States and Europe. I know the US better, so will focus on it. In Maine, an anti-Zionist veteran seemingly came out of nowhere to clinch the Democratic nomination for US Senate, but our kleptocracy and Israel’s minions managed to put the kabosh on him. In Kentucky, the same people were able to scare enough older Boomers and Silents to the polls to defeat libertarian and anti-imperialist Tom Massie in one congressional district. The problem for them is that the paradigm shift away from Empire and towards utter revulsion and contempt for the genocidal apartheid state of Israel is too large, too deep, and too connected to the dialectical materialist contradictions of the US Empire to be contained. Opposition to AI data centers is now the most anti-establishment position a politician can take to guarantee a lot of instant votes for him or her, and socialists are leading the charge.” – Ohio Barbarian

Corrupt and Despotic Ukraine Is Not Worth Fighting WWIII – “This war is about money, not saving ‘democracy.’ Seeing Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelenskyy at Senator Lindsey Graham’s funeral seemed fitting: Z-Man’s money-laundering operation in Kyiv was the proximate cause of Graham’s death. Had the senator not been working so hard to add to the butcher’s bill in Europe, he would still be alive today. Surely there is a lesson here for some people to see.” – J.B. Shurk

Cuba Crisis: Assessing the Claims Against Havana – “When President Donald Trump declared Cuba an “unusual and extraordinary threat” to U.S. national security in a January 2026 Executive Order, the designation was accompanied by a series of sweeping claims. Among them were accusations that Cuba “provides support” to Russia, China, Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah, that it “supports terrorism,” and that the Cuban government supports actors who “seek to destroy the United States.” Claims this broad require clear evidence. The history of disputed intelligence assessments including Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, “yellowcake” uranium, and mobile biological weapons programs, are just a few examples where assertions were made while evidence remained lacking or fabricated.” – Patrick Pillow

ECONOMIC NEWS

One Month of Falling Prices Won’t Restore Price Stability – “June’s PCE report showed prices falling as energy prices retreated, but underlying inflation and nominal spending remain too strong.” – Bryan Cutsinger

The “Paycheck to Paycheck” Problem – “Even before this energy price spike, affordability was a big problem. A structural, long-term trend. Hospital services are up nearly 300% in 26 years. Tuition more than 165%. Daycare costs up 150%. And these are based on government statistics, which always undercount true inflation. There are fluctuations, but the pattern is clear. Steadily higher. As a percentage of income, these items are eating up a bigger piece of the pie.” – Adam Sharp

Government Takes a Stake in 6 More Companies, New Total Is 30 Companies – “The federal government is now acting as regulator, customer, financier, and shareholder. Decisions involving contracts, trade restrictions, permits, and additional subsidies can affect the value of its holdings. Competitors have reason to question whether the playing field is level.This is state capitalism / corporatist industrial policy. Calling it communism overstates the case. However, and unfortunately, it’s more government economic intervention into the markets.” – Mish  – ALSO WHO IS TAKING POSITIONS IN THESE COMPANIES AS WELL, TRUMP, CONGRESS CRITTERS, CORPORATE INSIDERS?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Steve Forbes Issues New Dollar Warning – “A strong dollar sounds like good news. It sounds solid. Responsible. Adult, even. It sounds like the sort of thing a country should want to have, and feel proud of. But unbacked currencies are tricky things. See, currency “strength” is almost always measured in comparison with other currencies – not in comparison with groceries, medical bills, electricity prices or the cost per gallon of gasoline. That means the dollar can look strong against the yen, the yuan or the euro while still losing purchasing power here at home.” – Peter Reagan

Cashmere Goats – A Homesteader’s Complete Guide – “The first time I ran a metal comb through a goat’s winter coat and pulled out a handful of fiber softer than anything I owned in my closet, I understood exactly why cashmere carries the price tag it does. Cashmere is not a breed name, it is a fiber classification. Per Werner Creek Farm’s account of raising them, goats naturally grow two types of hair: coarse outer guard hairs and a soft, downy undercoat, and any goat producing a fine enough undercoat can be marketed as a cashmere producer regardless of its formal breed. That is why you will see cashmere coming off Spanish goats, ferals, and various meat-breed crosses, not just goats labeled specifically as Cashmere. Purpose-bred cashmere lines do exist, developed specifically for consistent, high-quality down.” – Self-Sufficient Projects Staff

Surveillance State Quietly Taking Shape Across America – “Ubiquitous surveillance is just the tip of the iceberg. AI is hooking systems together, enabling a panopticon, a genuine police state. But omnipresent cameras are just the eyes of the beast. The real problem is the creature’s brain, AI.” – Doug Casey

Chaos Agent: Anthony Fauci Represents A System That Needs To Be Cleansed – “I think nothing enrages Americans more than a lack of accountability from government officials. Yes, it happens often, and the public hasn’t taken up torches and pitchforks (yet), but I would point out that these incidents are cumulative and they light a growing fire within the collective memory. Eventually, people are going to snap if they don’t see action taken to rectify past wrongs.” – Brandon Smith

The Curse It is Cast – “Who in this land was not mortally depressed watching Rand Paul’s Senate hearing Wednesday starring Dr. Fauci? (One last time, the center of attention!) We have become a procedural republic, slipping into an impotence of legalistic self-fuckery the way old folks slip into dementia, one lost memory at a time. There sits the murderer of millions cloaked in the banality of his evil — as it was at Nuremburg eighty years ago — and this time, you just have to lump it, America. The law can’t touch him at all. Dr. Fauci ran his own titanically corrupt fiefdom out of the nation’s public health complex. Half-a-million a year wasn’t enough for — let’s call him what he was — an executive bureaucrat.” – James Howard Kunstler

Bill Gates Was Secretly Granted TOP SECRET “Q” Security Clearance by the Department of Energy – “During Anthony Fauci’s recent Senate hearing, Senator Rand Paul exposed a stunning revelation: Bill Gates held a Department of Energy “Q” security clearance from 2014 through 2021. A DOE Q clearance is the equivalent of TOP SECRET and can establish eligibility to access some of the most sensitive nuclear information held by the United States government. Why were America’s nuclear secrets entrusted to a known depopulationist?” – Nicolas Hulscher, MPH  – WHY SHOULD ANY ORDINARY CITIZEN HAVE ACCESS TO ANY TOP SECRET INFORMATION, REGARDLESS WHO YOU ARE

NEWS

Burying Lindsey Graham Won’t Be Easy – “Long ago, great Senators existed. Resolute and accountable, they represented their governors and state legislatures and asserted those interests in Washington. No longer. A regal Senate with a bold populist House of Representatives do not exist. What we call Senate and House do not make federal law, nor do they perform the small number of defined duties described in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution. The making of law has become the work of lobbyists and the regulatory bureaucracy, while other Constitutional duties have become entirely too frightening to even consider, much less perform. The hydra-headed executive branch has become the permanent ruler, the center of state power, poisonous and deadly. The hydra was captured in video at Graham’s funeral, as Netanyahu forcefully issued his latest orders to Rubio and Hegseth.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

BORDER ‘INVASION’ Hundreds of migrants storm SECOND Spain enclave as ‘shots fired on border’ after 60,000 breach EU territory in 24 hours – “The chaos in Ceuta, which has a population of under 84,000, has spread to Spain’s second North African enclave of Melilla.” – Georgie English and Gerard Couzens

The Gibraltar calculus: Is Spain’s Ceuta included in Abraham Accords? – “The obvious question, the one every wire service asked, was what triggered the surge. The more interesting question is who benefits, and why the answer keeps circling back to Washington and the alignment it built. What on the surface looks like a sudden migration crisis bears all the hallmarks of a coordinated strategic push. A manageable border breach, instantly weaponized by American MAGA influencers and Israeli figures, recalls Rabat’s original bargain: entry into the Abraham Accords in exchange for U.S. recognition of Western Sahara.” -Yakup Kenan

Entire Russian City Enveloped In Smoke & Darkness After Major Refinery Attacked – “The major Russian industrial city of Volgograd, in the country’s southwest, is being engulfed in smoke and darkness on Friday after a wave of Ukrainian drone attacks scored several hits on key sites.

What is astonishing is the speed of the deterioration. There were approximately 6 million borrowers in default last August. That figure jumped to 7.7 million by December. By April it had reached 9.2 million. Another 3 million borrowers are reportedly at least 90 days delinquent and appear headed in the same direction.” – Martin Armstrong

Top 0.1% Pay more Tax than Bottom 80% – “New IRS data says the top 0.1% of taxpayers — one in a thousand — pays more than the bottom 80% of taxpayers. Turns out we’re eating the rich after all.” – Peter St Onge

PM sentiment low as it gets – “Few investors are interested in major upheavals facing global finances. Disinterest in summer is normal, but this is a time of maximum danger to personal wealth. It is a fact that after 55 years of this fiat currency regime, the top 500 investment managers with an estimated $140—$150 trillion under management are clueless about money and credit. For them, gold and its PM cousin silver is losing them “money”. This is why sentiment is gloomy. But if they account in gold, they still have their gold and no credit risk. This is important, since without doubt credit risk is escalating. No chart tells you this, so technical analysis as commonly practiced is no guide, because all charts share the basic assumption of the clueless millions. All commodities, stocks, and bonds are always priced in national currencies, which are credit issued by government agents with their counterparty and hidden debauchment risk.” – Alasdair Macleod

We should be talking about the data centers spreading across the landscape, We should be talking about the government’s growing network of detention centers and its family-separation policies, We should be talking about license-plate readers, facial recognition, government databases and artificial intelligence capable of turning our movements and associations into a digital dossier on every person in America. We should be talking about masked government agents, endless war, disappearing constitutional safeguards and an imperial presidency accountable to no one.

Really no need to as so many have: From the Fauci Diaries emerges a person so egotistical that he leaves a self-written trail of his own criminality. How this man can escape indictment and imprisonment or execution is beyond belief. It is not just Fauci. It is the pharmaceutical industry, the medical profession and Big Pharma bought-and-paid-for medical boards. It is the whore media. It is the dumbshit American masses who lack the intelligence and knowledge to wonder if they are being driven by fear to an unknown destination.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Dog-and-Pony Shows Will Not Satiate Our COVID Bloodlust – “Unindicted COVID warlord Anthony Fauci’s Senate hearing yesterday, as anticipated, delivered neither answers nor justice for his crimes.

Coming soon to a big-box store near you: Digital-programmable pricing along with real-time continuous surveillance – “Government and corporations are working together in public-private partnerships to usher in Chinese-style social credit system. Gasoline prices, as I’m sure you’ve noticed, routinely change, sometimes in a matter of hours given the instability of the oil supply as arbitrarily judged by global futures markets. It’s like every gas station gets a memo at the same time to raise their prices by the same amount. This is digital pricing as it relates to just-in-time inventory schemes. But what if digital pricing is invading all of our retail purchases, starting with the nation’s two largest grocery-store chains – Walmart and Kroger? Get ready, because that’s exactly what is in the works.” – Leo Hohmann

A Horrific Genocide of Christians – “Most of the world is raised on the mandatory remembrance of a particular 20th-century genocide. We see it in films, in school curriculum, in state ceremonies; to question a single detail of its official narrative is to risk ruin, censorship, and legal penalty across most of the Western world. But almost no one speaks of the slaughter that preceded it. The one that wrote the very playbook of modern totalitarian murder, and whose architects, tactics, and ideological heirs remain in power today, operating under a new flag, with a new name, and the same unquenchable thirst for domination. The Bolsheviks, many of them Jewish revolutionaries returned from exile in the West; Leon Trotsky (Lev Bronstein), Yakov Sverdlov (Solomon), Grigori Zinoviev (Radomyslsky), Karl Radek (Sobelsohn), Maxim Litvinov (Wallach), Lev Kamenev (Rosenfeld), Moisei Uritsky, seized this ideology and turned it into a machine of slaughter. They did not just disagree with the Russian way of life, they hated it, and they set out to erase it, root and branch.” – Jordan Nutt

She and her husband still have important things to do, and they need to be kept safe and sound while they pen agreements for Netflix programs about NBA players and stuff. This is the same mentality as the climate crusaders who board private jets to Europe to discuss how you shouldn’t be allowed to continue driving the 2002 Toyota Tundra that was all you could afford because of greenhouse emissions. They have important things to do and can’t be bothered with waiting in line or dealing with TSA, but you can wait for the (electric) bus.

The unfortunate truth is that when people get scared, they’re willing to accept anything so long as the voice demanding it sounds like they’re going to make everything better. Government overreach is nothing new, but it makes bolder gains during a crisis.

Americans Are Cutting Back on Groceries – Recession Watch – “Politicians can point to a lower inflation report, but they cannot explain why Americans are standing in grocery aisles putting food back on the shelf. CNBC reports that consumers are spending less on groceries, forcing companies like PepsiCo, General Mills, Kraft Heinz, Campbell’s, and Conagra to slash prices and rely on promotions simply to move inventory. Millions have reached the point where every trip to the store has become an exercise in deciding what they can live without. The numbers tell a much darker story than the headlines. Americans now owe roughly $1.25 trillion in credit card debt, the highest level ever recorded. The average credit card balance has climbed above $6,500, while interest rates on many cards remain above 21%.” – Martin Armstrong

I started pondering this question the other day when I ran across a graph tracking the price of a can of Campbell’s Tomato Soup since 1895. You’ll notice an interesting phenomenon. The cost of a can of soup remained relatively stable until around 1973, when it suddenly started to climb more rapidly. And what happened in the early 1970s? President Richard Nixon severed the dollar’s last connection with the gold standard, making it a purely free-floating fiat currency.” – Mike Maharrey

Democrat-run Chicago Blames Trump for 7 More Grocery Store Closings – “In late 2020, Save A Lot decided to get out of the retail business and focus on the wholesale business. The company then put its 300-plus retail grocery stores up for sale. In September of the following year, it sold 23 of those stores located throughout Milwaukee, Ohio, and Chicago, to a black-owned business called Yellow Banana. What’s important here is that Save A Lot had no intention of closing those 23 stores. Those stores were merely sold off with the 300 others. Despite Mr. Canfield being a shady character, after Yellow Banana purchased these Save A Lot stores (maybe with stolen money), sometime around 2022-2023, the City of Chicago handed Canfield’s Yellow Banana — get a load of this — a $26 million redevelopment agreement that included a $13 million taxpayer-financed loan to fix up six of these seven stores. Needless to say, conditions at these seven Chicago stores did not improve. Funny how, uh, SNAP/EBT cuts are not forcing other grocery stores to close down. So, in summation…. Save A Lot sold its stores to a shady businessman. The City of Chicago handed $13 million in taxpayer money to a shady businessman. Everyone’s business plan was to count on welfare and welfare fraud to stay in business. But by all means, let’s blame the Orange Bad Man.” – John Nolte

A prepper should do better than that. Local crime maps, police blotters, sheriff reports, and neighborhood apps can tell you a lot before trouble reaches your front door. They show patterns.” – Alec Deacon

Will the “Fat Lady” Finally Sing? – “Remember Covid-19? Seems like long ago in a world that time forgot. Well, you get to revisit the whole sketchy business on Wednesday, July, 29, when Dr. Anthony Fauci is called to testify about it to the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee chaired by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY). Though half the USA is still psychotic and unable to process reality, the other half of the country understands that Dr. Fauci has some ‘splainin’ to do. Dr. Fauci was initially invited but declined to appear (didn’t feel like it), so the committee issued a subpoena compelling him (under penalty of up to a year in jail for failure to show). Because Dr. Fauci was given a peremptory pardon by “Joe Biden,” he cannot legally invoke the Fifth Amendment against self-incrimination. He will have to answer the questions.” – James Howard Kunstler

You don’t need a deep dive to know something is wrong. You have two eyes on your face and two ears on the side of your head. You can watch society crumble in real time. You know crime is getting worse. You know addiction and homelessness are getting worse. You know division is worse than it’s ever been. So you have a party preaching love, inclusion and diversity while everything gets worse under their watch. Maybe it’s time we stop judging things by intentions and start judging them by outcomes.” – Karla Treadway

How Total Surveillance Conquered the Last Sanctuary of Human Privacy – “Your bedroom has been listening for years. Not metaphorically—quite literally. While you slept, while you loved, while you whispered secrets to partners in the dark, the devices you invited inside for “convenience” were recording, analyzing, transmitting. That smart speaker on your nightstand heard you breathe. Your WiFi router mapped your movements through walls. The phone charging beside your pillow tracked your REM cycles, your midnight tossing, your 3 AM anxieties. All of it flowed through fiber optic veins into climate-controlled bunkers where analysts sift through domestic lives like archaeologists studying extinct species—except you’re very much alive, still walking, still paying monthly subscriptions for the privilege of being monitored. This is the unvarnished reality of existence in 2026: privacy didn’t merely erode—it was systematically dismantled, commodified, and fed into machine learning systems that predict your behavior before you conceive the thought. ” – Milan Adams

Priorities – “Over the weekend, Shiloh Hendrix, the woman who went viral for the use of a racial slur in a video, reportedly after using the same slur on an autistic black child who took something from her kid. The sentence was 90 days in jail, 200 hours of community service, and a $1,000 fine. There are issues with this, to say the least, because it still boiled down to someone using their right to free speech in an unkind way, but that’s the least of it for me. No, the bigger problem is the judge who handed down this sentence. While taking a hard line on Hendrix’s speech, the judge who ordered the sentencing in the Hendrix case, Christa Daily, has a track record of granting outrageous plea deals, letting convicted sex offenders off with light punishments and little to no jail time. How can Daily look at these cases and think, “You know, the guy who raped the 15-year-old and the woman who raped a couple of her patients, they’re stand-up people who don’t need to go to prison, but this n-word using woman…oh, oh, man! That’s just a bridge too far!” Does that make any sense at all?” – Tom Knighton

War on Iran: – Another Hold Of Direct Action While The War Proceeds Elsewhere – “U.S. sources claim that the stop was initiated because the military was running out of air defense missiles. That may well have been the case. But the larger reason is that the U.S. strikes on Iran have not been effective. They did not induce Iran to change its position on its effective control of the Strait of Hormuz. The Strait is blocked, oil can not flow, and higher prices at the pump will diminish votes for Trump’s party in the upcoming elections. The U.S. military has only stopped for a moment – it has not ended its war on Iran. There are still more than 100 U.S. tanker airplanes in the Middle East together with additional fighter jets and special operations units. The U.S. could any time be back at full escalation.” – Moon of Alabama

Iraq and Saddam talk euro for oil in the early 2000s—shock and awe, 2003. Russia settles oil in yuan—Ukraine war in 2014/2022. Venezuela moves toward yuan—Maduro sanctioned into oblivion since 2017, then kidnapped. And now Iran is on deck.” – The Silver Academy

One God In Father, Son, And Holy Spirit – “One such point, which recently wandered across my very narrow attention span, was the concept of the Triune God—one God expressed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

He confronted Hendrix, shoving his camera in her face as he demanded that she admit to her crime of saying a bad word. Holding her young child close, Hendrix got angry at the man who was harassing her. She flipped him off and called him the N-word.

MAGA’s Calling For The Annihilation of 93 Million Iranians – So Trump Can Have OIL – “What does it say when Media pundits, charlatans, influencers, etc.. call for the annihilation of 93 MILLION Iranians because ‘they are brutes’? The purpose of the war on Iran was not to save the Iranians, to stop Nuclear proliferation, or to open the Strait – the purpose of War is simply to WIN. And if that means annihilating the entire population of a country it means EVERY country across the globe is the next target. It means that not all men on earth are humans. It means these persons were NOT created by God.

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

Well my name’s John Lee Pettimore
Same as my daddy and his daddy before
You hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here
He only came to town about twice a year
He’d buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line
Everybody knew that he made moonshine
Now the revenue man wanted Grandaddy bad
He headed up the holler with everything he had
It’s before my time but I’ve been told
He never came back from Copperhead Road
Now Daddy ran the whiskey in a big block Dodge
Bought it at an auction at the Mason’s Lodge
Johnson County Sheriff painted on the side
Just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside
Well him and my uncle tore that engine down
I still remember that rumblin’ sound
Well the sheriff came around in the middle of the night
Heard mama cryin’, knew something wasn’t right
He was headed down to Knoxville with the weekly load
You could smell the whiskey burnin’ down Copperhead Road

I volunteered for the Army on my birthday
They draft the white trash first,’round here anyway
I done two tours of duty in Vietnam
And I came home with a brand new plan
I take the seed from Colombia and Mexico
I plant it up the holler down Copperhead Road
Well the D.E.A.’s got a chopper in the air
I wake up screaming like I’m back over there
I learned a thing or two from ol’ Charlie don’t you know
You better stay away from Copperhead Road

Copperhead Road
Copperhead Road

World Noahide System (VIDEO) – “This in my opinion will be the bridge to the antichrist religion.I wanted to address why Christians need to understand what this is. Now these seven laws resemble the ten commandments and that is why a lot of Christians don’t understand the issue here. They don’t understand well the these are all good things, right? Prohibiting idolatry, prohibiting blasphemy, prohibiting sexual immorality. These are all good things and they look like the ten commandments. So what’s the big deal? The big deal is you will not find this specific set of laws that were given to Adam. They say the first six apparently were given to Adam and then the seventh was given to Noah. It was added on for Noah. Nowhere in the scriptures, nowhere in the living word of God will you find them.The seven Noahide laws are derived from the Talmud.” – Ashley Hays  – YOU MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH ALL OF THIS, BUT YOU BETTER BE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FOURTH TURNING GLOBAL WAR – “Everything about this war on Iran is based on lies, mistruths, and propaganda, as the true motive is to further Netanyahu’s Greater Israel project of taking Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria, while defanging Iran and Turkey. Netanyahu convinced Trump it would be a cakewalk, or more likely, threatened Trump with revelations from the Epstein files. The assassination of Charlie Kirk for beginning to reveal the truth about Israeli control of the U.S. government and genocide in Gaza was also a warning shot across Trump’s bow. ” – Jim Quinn

Watch What He Does, Not What He Says: Why Trump Will Never Tell You the Real Story – “I want to be precise about this, because people always get it wrong. Trump doesn’t lie. Not in the way most people use that word. He speaks in untruths — that’s a big difference that matters when you’re trying to trade or invest off what he says. A lie is when somebody sets out to deceive you. An untruth is a negotiating move that happens to be dressed up as a sentence. If you grade him on accuracy you’ll constantly be wrong and come to despise him, which you might do anyway. Grade him on incentive-alignment and suddenly the guy makes total sense, even when he doesn’t.” – Kerry Lutz

‘Shameful’: Pentagon accused of cover-up over US military casualties in Iran war – “The defence department has not held a press briefing for two-and-a-half months.

The Israeli Tool of FIRE Across Europe And The Americas – “Massive wildfires have erupted across Spain – roughly a week or two after Netanyahu threatened terrorism across Spain for daring to defame the most moral army in the world – IDF. Netanyahu warned Spain that it would “pay an immediate price” for waging a diplomatic war against Israel. 95% of all fires are caused by human activity – not simple heat and wind. Half of all wildfires are intentional. The wildfires in Patagonia Argentina and Chile were observed to have been caused by Jewish ‘tourists’. However, media pundits will typically forget these factoids and blame climate change. Israel swore vengeance. Israel ALWAYS gets its vengeance. Why any Middle East country would continue to support Israel or the United States at this juncture is truly odd. Why the Saudi’s would need US permission is the first and most glaring anomaly.

Your Home Equity Isn’t as Liquid as It Looks – “For many American families, the largest financial asset they own isn’t sitting in a retirement account. It has a roof, a water heater, a property-tax bill (and at least one closet nobody wants to clean out). It is the family home. For good reason! Homeownership has helped millions of Americans build wealth over time. A paid-off home can provide stability in retirement. Home equity can become a source of financial flexibility when expenses rise or life changes. But there is a catch we do not discuss often enough: Home equity is not cash. It is wealth locked inside the walls.” – Peter Reagan

Indoor Composting: How to Compost Without a Yard (3 Methods) – “Every day a household throws away things the garden would love: coffee grounds, banana peels, the soft end of a bag of spinach, eggshells. If you have a yard, those go on a pile out back. If you live in an apartment, a condo, or anywhere without a patch of ground, it can feel like composting is simply not for you. It is. Indoor composting turns the same kitchen scraps into rich, dark compost on a countertop, under a sink, or in a closet, with no yard and, done right, no smell. Extension services have taught it for decades, and the setups have only gotten simpler.” – In Homestead

The U.S. and Zionist Israeli Marriage of Evil – “Yes, the House of ‘Representatives’ have signed and passed through the House the National Defense Authorization Act for 2026. (NDAA) This mislabeled behemoth (3,100 pages) called a ‘defense act,’ a $1.15 trillion dollar monstrosity, is the work of evil, warmongering, profiteering, murdering psychopaths; those politicians and their controlling banking and corporate masters, who hold total power over this governing force. This is an atrocity beyond the scope of the lowly masses, who seem to have given up any and every chance to abolish this state of rule called the U.S. government.” – Gary D. Barnett

Tech Firm Rebrands Sex Robot as Hot Teacher, Lands Contract With New York School District – “Last decade, RealBotix established itself as a leading pioneer in the sex robot industry, manufacturing love “companions” for lonely men with disposable incomes. Anyway, in a marketing rebrand, the company plugged up Harmony’s love-holes with calking or whatever so as to render her no longer “anatomically correct,” renamed her Aria, put her in a power-pantsuit, and reinvented her as a girlboss jack-of-all-trades working professional, no longer “intended for sexual purposes.” Now, Harmony the robot love slave, who gave up whoring and got renamed Aria, has once again forged a new path. She’s now a paraprofessional called Sally with a contract to teach public school kids on an Indian reservation in New York.” – Ben Bartee

Why AI slop is bad and people who post AI slop should feel bad – “Substack has partnered with Pangram to enable readers to scan posts, notes and comments for machine-generated text. No AI detector is flawless, but Pangram is pretty much the gold standard. Their algorithms detect AI-generated text more than 95% of the time, with a false positive rate approaching zero.

Where’s the Turtle? – “The war has diverted attention away from the disappearance of the Dirty Old Turtle, Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. Just as it has diverted attention away from what is colloquially styled the Epstein Files, the contents of which are probably why we’re at war (at the behest of Israel, which was probably running the honeypot operation using Epstein as its willing front man). The case of the Dirty Old Turtle is remarkable in its own right because it is unprecedented – at least in the modern era. As for example the identities of the people who have to know whether the Dirty Old Turtle is alive. Or alive but brain dead. They are his staffers. They may also be criminals. It being a crime to conceal a death. It being fraud to be complicit in the telling of consequential lies pertaining to the public’s business. Imagine you disappeared and had not been in to the office for a month and your co-workers (who knew you were dead or brain dead) told the boss you merely recovering from a “minor” fall and a bout of pneumonia but were fine, fine fine and not to worry.” – Eric Peters

Bond Market Just Flipped to “Rate Hike in July” as 2-Month Treasury Yield Spiked by 13 Basis Points – Wolf Richter

Adapting to Higher Yields – “Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, recently said he wouldn’t buy long-term U.S. Treasuries. His rationale is simple, he “doesn’t understand the upside.” Here at the Economic Prism, we don’t understand the upside either. But, unlike Dimon, we’re not running the largest primary dealer of U.S. Treasuries on Earth. Primary dealers, remember, are the elite financial institutions obligated to participate in U.S. Treasury auctions. Their purpose is to help grease the wheels of Uncle Sam’s multi-trillion-dollar borrowing machine. Yet Dimon, the chief architect of that machine’s biggest partner, just publicly bashed the product.” – MN Gordon

Gold and silver in wartime – “Some analysts tell us that gold goes down in war. This is rubbish. Otherwise, why would countries in the past have suspended their gold standards at wartime? There are some specious arguments being advanced for the lacklustre performance of gold and silver in recent weeks, and the argument above is just one of them. This week, gold and silver showed signs of turning a corner after their major declines since end-January. This morning they are tickling a little better, but investors need to focus on the big picture.” – Alasdair Macleod

I got to be honest with you. just one day the war is going to be over in a couple of days they Iran is begging for a deal the next day they’re going to be wiped off the planet and this has happened over and over and over again so I just wish I supported the man I I voted for him twice I just wish he would just make his decision and and go with it because it’s very difficult to model the second derivative of inflation when oil goes from 65 to 120 back to 67 and then back all because of a a few you know Twitter posts about what we’re doing with the war. ” – Kerry Lutz’s Financial Survival Network

New Information Reveals America’s Power Grid Is Running on Empty… And That’s Why Off-Grid Living Makes More Sense Every Day – “Homesteaders have always understood something the modern world keeps forgetting: independence rarely arrives all at once. It begins with one garden bed, one rain barrel, one woodpile, one shelf of canned food, or one backup battery. Each small step reduces the number of things that must go right somewhere else for your family to remain safe. That same thinking belongs in our energy plans.” – Bill Heid

Power from the Wreckage – “Building small, repairable energy systems from the electrical remains of a dead civilization. Eventually, the last commercially manufactured backup-power system will fail. That does not necessarily mark the end of electricity. Modern civilization has scattered electrical equipment almost everywhere. Vehicles contain alternators, motors, heavy cable, fuse blocks, relays, switches and sockets. Buildings contain kilometres of copper wire. Computer backup systems contain batteries, chargers and inverters. Damaged solar installations may still have functional panels. Appliances contain motors, fans, switches, bearings and capacitors.” – denob
