THE BIG PICTURE

Sprezzatura: The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Damn – “The Italian Secret to Living Well Involves a Whole Lot of Olive Oil, Cigarettes, and Wine. The Italian guy’s chest says everything passes. The millionaire’s religion says don’t die. One of these men understands the universe. The other one measures his nighttime erections with a machine. You have two roads in front of you. Down one road there is olive oil, a little wine, people who love you loudly, and the serene knowledge that none of this was ever in your control anyway. Down the other road there is a clipboard, a hundred pills, an 11 am dinner, a machine that watches you sleep, and a mirror that gets more upsetting every year no matter how much you spend. One road ends at 100 years old with a tattoo and a tan.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

EU’s Obligatory All-Time Vehicle Facial Recognition Goes Into Effect – “It uses infrared cameras pointed at the driver to analyse behaviour, tracking eye movement, blinking, where you are looking and even yawning, to spot when your attention drifts.” – The WinePress

How Germany blew the EU’s chance for information freedom – “By prosecuting individuals for reposting RT content, European censors are trying to scare unwanted beliefs off their narrative” – Rachel Marsden

SURVEY: Many Canadian Manufacturers Considering Relocation to U.S. – “Keep in mind this is a survey of companies within Canada that do traditional manufacturing of products; this is not a survey of companies that assemble foreign goods for export – there is a substantial difference. Many will claim the trigger for the consideration is based on the potential elimination of the USMCA (CUSMA) trade agreement, and there is truth to that aspect. However, the systemic issues within Canada -including energy policy, regulation and corporate tax burdens- represent the larger problem; the termination of the USMCA is the straw that breaks their back.” – Sundance

This State Is Ground Zero For The “Explosive” Diarrhea Parasite As Cases Explode 400% – “Michigan is getting hit hardest in a fast-spreading nationwide outbreak of a stomach parasite, with cases exploding more than fourfold in a matter of days. Many people who catch the parasite – called cyclosporiasis – show no symptoms at all. But for those who do, it’s brutal. Those who catch the parasite experience watery, “explosive” diarrhea that can leave victims running to the bathroom dozens of times a day, along with severe cramping, vomiting, nausea, fatigue and fever.” – Tyler Durden

Manipulators Do Not Use Language The Same Way Normal People Do – “Normal people use language to communicate and connect, while manipulative people use language to control and extract.” – Caitlin Johnstone

8 Ways To Take Down Flock Without A Sawzall – “Personally, I think we’re well beyond the denial stage. The surveillance state isn’t coming—it’s already here. Because of that, I don’t spend much time judging how other people choose to push back. Some people protest. Some organize. Some file lawsuits. Some file public records requests. Some use Sawzalls. This article isn’t about any of that. This is for the people who want to use lawful, public channels to challenge Flock’s expansion in their own communities. Will it take longer? Usually.” – Jason Bassler

Charlie Kirk Narrative On Life Support as Trial Begins! – News Update (VIDEO) – “Welcome to We Li News and all the pleasantries.Tyler Robinson is the alleged killer of Charlie Kirk and his trial has started after the National Counterterrorism Center said, “We have reason to investigate foreign involvement and the FBI demanded those investigations don’t happen because it was just a lone gunman that killed Charlie Kirk.” Well, now we get to the trial of that lone gunman. Mhm. So, highlight number one of the trial so far, an officer was testifying abouta bullet being found on another rooftop on the campus that day that Tyler Robinson wasn’t on. Check that out. Wasn’t there also a bullet found on another building? I believe an unfired bullet had been found on another building at some point during my time there on September 10th. Yeah. Which building was that, sir? I don’t recall.Was that considered a scene that was worth preserving? Uh, it was not. Yeah, of course, a bullet found on a different rooftop shouldn’t be considered part of the crime scene where a guy got shot, nor should it be looked into further because lone gunman, we don’t have room to even consider other gunmen in a case like this.” – AwakenWithJP  – ANOTHER GOOD ONE FROM JP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Create Positive Energy In A World Shrouded In Darkness – “We knew it wouldn’t last. Iran knew it wouldn’t last. Trump has effectively crossed every promise he has made – to America, so why wouldn’t he lie to Iran? Trump is now cozying up to Zelenskky – again while pretending to be Putin’s friend. In that regard, his embrace of Turkey may follow the same trajectory. Putin ‘handled’ Trump based on his ego. Erdogan is simply following that script in order to placate a Mad Man. It appears Trump is setting up Erdogan for Israel. ” – Helena Glass

JD Vance May Have Just Blown His Shot at the Presidency – “The vice president managed to stun his allies and delight his enemies, all in one fell swoop.” – Tim Donner

Russia Warns NATO Leaders To ‘Stop & Think’ Before Leading World To Catastrophic Confrontation – “Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated Thursday, “European elites are positioning themselves as leaders in the confrontation between the ‘collective West’ and our country,” Zakharova said. “They likely don’t realize that all this entails not only creating threats and problems for Russia, but also a significant depletion of resources and the creation of hotbeds of military tension within Europe itself,” she added. She also underscored how pursuing peace with Russia was glaringly absent NATO proceedings at the Turkey summit. “A constructive agenda remains a low priority for NATO,” the Kremlin spokesperson continued. “It’s a shame that if NATO strategists had stopped and reflected, they might not have made such irresponsible decisions that could lead to disaster not only for the alliance, but for the entire world,” she said.” – Tyler Durden

Democrats Pardoning Pedos – “How low can they go” – Bert Powers

Mamdani’s Rent Freeze Ignores His Own Housing Board’s Data – “A former member of New York’s Rent Guidelines Board said the board is “knowingly disregarding its own evidence.” She is not wrong. “This rebuilt board was required to deliver a rent freeze,” Christina Smyth wrote in a three-page resignation letter. “Everything since has been theater. The hearings, the reports, the public comment, the data. None of it was ever going to change the result.”” – Jon Miltimore

NATO vassals buy Trump ‘unity’ with $160 billion bribe – “One can only imagine the scenes of obsequiousness and utter debasement as European politicians lined up to kiss Trump’s ring. What a turnaround. The NATO summit this week was heading for an almighty crash, its leaders were bracing for impact, and then, suddenly, at the last moment, the alliance pulled out of a nosedive, and everyone was happy ever after. What happened? U.S. President Donald Trump came to Ankara in a fury over bashing the Europeans. Then the mood swung like a person who just got his rocks off. He was bought off with a $160 billion pledge from the European and Canadian NATO vassals. Money talks for this American president, whose administration is a byword for graft and grift.” – Finian Cunningham

The Botched Oligarch Assassination In Monaco Turned Into A Reputational Disaster For Ukraine – “The culprit’s killing by her own handlers discredits Ukraine’s military-intelligence agency GUR in the eyes of its agents and future assets alike, who might now consider defecting and not cooperating with them due to the fear that they too could be killed after a mission as part of a cover-up.” – Andrew Korybko

ECONOMIC NEWS

Markets and their Analysts Have Been Breathing Gas Fumes and the Smoke War – “Stocks rose and oil prices dropped today as markets and their analysts completely ignored the biggest outbreak of attacks in the Middle East in the last few weeks. Instead of sitting around the water cooler, they’re sitting around burning fuel tanks, betting that oil prices will be quickly dropping back to prewar levels as the flames of war light their backsides on fire. Today, they ignored Trump and Iran both saying the ceasefire deal is off yesterday, almost as if they were dumb enough to listen to Trump’s latest words, claiming Iran just called and is dying to make a deal! Yes, he pulled that tired canard out again because I guess there are enough people who have been breathing his missile-exhaust, hot air long enough to keep believing it.” – David Haggith

China Wants to Revalue Gold and Silver (VIDEO) with Bill Holter – “On July 24, China is going to try to change that false paper demand into real physical demand for precious metals. China is going to stop all paper contracts for the metals. Is China wanting the price of gold and silver to go higher? Mr. Gold says, “Basically, yes. . .. China made an announcement, and I think there are four or five banks that have contacted customers to tell them the paper market is basically going to cease to exist in China on July 24. What they are trying to do is change the Chinese market into a 100% physical market. . .. China wants the paper markets of the West to basically close. They want real physical cash and carry pricing. ” – Greg Hunter  – GOOD ONE FROM BILL AS USUAL!!!

Consumer Borrowing Unexpectedly Tanked in May Likely Reflecting Growing Stress – “After unexpectedly surging in March and April, consumer credit contracted sharply in June. This returns to the trend of declining consumer borrowing we saw last year and into early 2026, likely signaling consumers are close to their credit limits.” – Mike Maharrey

First gold, then markets migrating East – “Goodbye to Western paper. Moving in plain sight, China has set up a new market in Hong Kong ready to take over from London and New York when the dollar dies. First, let’s look briefly at what happened to gold in the 1973—1974 OPEC crisis.” – Alasdair Macleod

“Regime Change” at the Federal Reserve – “It’s “Regime Change” at the Fed as Kevin Warsh carts the Jerome Powell legacy to the dumpster. Sadly, he’s not ready to dumpster the entire Creature from Jekyll Island. On interest rates it was pretty much what everybody expected, holding rates steady at roughly neutral given the past 40 years. But the big news was Warsh announcing five changes to how the Fed operates.” – Peter St Onge

How To Train A Dog As A Useful Survival Companion, Not Just A Pet – “Most people bring a dog home for companionship, and that reason is completely valid on its own. But somewhere between the puppy chewing on shoes and the long walks around the neighborhood, a lot of owners start to wonder what their dog could actually do if things ever got difficult.” – Bob Rodgers

A Beginner’s Guide to Dehydrating Food – “Dehydrating is one of the oldest, simplest ways to preserve food at home. This guide walks you through every method (sun, air, solar, oven, electric, microwave), the right prep for fruits, vegetables, meats, nuts and herbs, the temperatures and timings that actually work, and the storage rules that keep your work safe for months. By the end, you’ll know exactly what to dry, how to dry it, and how to store it without losing flavor or nutrition.” – Greg Seaman

Fruit and Vegetable Wash: What Works Best at Home? – “I don’t know about you, but when I buy fruits and vegetables from the grocery store, I sometimes wonder what may be on them. There may be visible dirt, but there is also the unseen side of contamination: handling during harvest, packing, shipping, stocking, and all the people who may have picked up the produce and put it back down.” – Ken Jorgustin

THE BIG PICTURE

Dissent Is Not Disloyalty: The Right and Duty to Criticize the Government – “President Trump has no problem criticizing, condemning, insulting, demonizing and threatening those who refuse to fall in line. He has branded political opponents “communists,” denounced critics as anti-American, lashed out at NATO allies, threatened to cut off trade with Spain, and referred to Iran’s leaders as “scum” amid the ongoing war. In Trump’s America, the president is free to call other nations bad actors, label his opponents dangerous, and treat disagreement as betrayal. But dare to criticize Trump, his administration, ICE, the police state, the war machine, the surveillance state, or the government’s steady assault on the Constitution, and you may find yourself treated as the threat.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

Dear American: No One in Government Represents You – “Marjorie Taylor Greene, Thomas Massie, Tucker Carlson, Candice Owens, and a few others who have access to media exposure, including myself, agree that Washington does not represent the American people. Neither do the state or local governments. Conservatives used to claim that the closer government is to you, the better it represented you, but that is not my experience. Marjorie Taylor Greene says, correctly, that you cannot go against a party position or they will come after you.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Congress Moving Bill To Criminalize Criticizing Israel – ““To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.” Attributed to Voltaire” – Chuck Baldwin

Home Invasion: Fenced off, Priced Out, Digitised and Occupied – “Traditionally considered a space of rest, intimacy and autonomy, the ‘home’ has been integrated into the market by capitalism and digital technology, becoming an object of surveillance and manipulation. Smart speakers, security cameras and streaming devices, while masquerading as convenience, target every aspect of life for data extraction. Is the home now a place of self, community and continuity or merely a control unit?” – Colin Todhunter

Canada Was a Liberal Paradise …Until the Liberals Took Over – Mark E. Jeftovic

James Talarico Says He Supports The Second Amendment – His Record Says Otherwise – “Do the people entrusted with government power truly believe in the Second Amendment as it was written? Or do they believe in it only until it conflicts with the policies they want to impose? Texas Democratic U.S. Senate nominee James Talarico provides a timely example. The Second Amendment is only 27 words long, so I’d venture to say most lawmakers have read it. The problem is many lawmakers read limitations into the Second Amendment that simply aren’t there. Talarico argued that the words “well regulated” justify what he calls “commonsense restrictions” on the right to keep and bear arms. Like many politicians, Talarico frequently points to the phrase “well regulated” as though it authorizes modern government regulation of a constitutional right. It doesn’t. At the time the Second Amendment was written, “well regulated” commonly meant properly functioning, well-trained, and in good working order – not regulated by the government.” – Leigh Gibson

So You Want To Put Boots On The Ground In Iran – “But what the hell, I’m sure a force of around 10,000 U.S. troops can capture Kharg or Qeshm, while being shuttled in by helicopters and tilt-rotors. From ships and gulf-region staging areas that are in easy drone and missile strike range from Iran. To even consider a “land incursion” in Iran is insanity. Not only is Iran much bigger than South Vietnam, with a much larger population, it’s a technological “near peer” that can fight back effectively, as proven by our warships being forced to stay hundreds of miles away. As opposed to Vietnam, where we controlled the ports, airports, main highways, etc. And we still lost.” – Matthew Bracken  -GOOD ANALYSIS FROM MATT!!!!

IRAN WAR GOES HOT! President Announces, as Far as he’s Concerned, the Ceasefire “is over!’ – “Besides saying the ceasefire is over as far as he is concerned, the president added, “They’re scum…. They’re sick people. They’re led by sick people, and they’re vicious, violent people….” The president did add a minor caveat that he might defer to others for the final decision, as though the decision might not be final. I’ll let our wonderful negotiators keep talking if they want, but I don’t see it. I don’t like these people. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a waste of time dealing with them. They’re liars.” -David Haggith

Mitch McConnell’s Dead-Line – “They hate you. As 84-year-old Senator Mitch McConnell’s witness-protection-grade hospitalization nears its fourth week, a key deadline looms: August 3. Under Kentucky law, if McConnell is declared dead before that date, there’s a special election to fill out his term. After that date, the seat sits empty until whoever wins November’s already-scheduled race is sworn in on January 3. In a political system run by the sage leaders that people like McConnell imagine themselves to be, he would have stepped down so voters could have an orderly election and decide for themselves.

The World Reprices Risk – “let’s address the part of this geopolitical drama that many armchair strategists seem to have missed. When the U.S. Navy is offshore, it doesn’t merely “show the flag.” It derisks certain dangers, and rewrites commercial assumptions. A carrier battle group reprices hull & cargo insurance.

Donald Trump is ‘high-level magician’ wielding mystical powers, says New Age priestess – “Notorious American occultist believes the 47th president of the United States is using magic to awaken global consciousness and pave the way for a new world order. Some may dismiss Abramovic’s comments as the rantings of a deranged lunatic. But not so fast. I believe she is giving us clues from the dark side as to what is going on. And nothing she said contradicts the age-old Illuminati belief that “out of chaos” comes “order.” Her statement about Trump being a welcomed agent of chaos, capable of creating what’s known in New Age circles as “chaos magic,” is right in line with current establishment thinking among globalist power elites.” – Leo Hohmann  – IS LEO ON TO SOMETHING HERE.

What Newport Beach experienced was not a ‘teen takeover,’ it was a declaration…WAR – “At a recent speaking engagement, a woman approached me afterward to tell me how uncomfortable she was with the language of my speech. “I don’t feel I’m at war with anyone. I have a lot of liberal friends and I still love them and try to persuade them. I don’t feel comfortable with looking at them as people I’m at war with.” I tried to be sensitive to her predicament. She was an older woman, and perhaps not completely plugged in to what’s been happening on a cultural level over the last decade. But it does not change her ignorance, an ignorance based in the desire to see America as what it was, not as it is now. We are at war. The troublemakers who showed up on the 4th were not restless teenagers. They were an invading force. Funded and organized by whom? I couldn’t tell you. Those teens were sent. Again, it wasn’t some ‘teen takeover’…it was a declaration.

The CBDC Agenda Went Quiet but It Never Went Away – “Use the Covid vaccine drive as an analogy: First, employers would be required by law to check workers for updated vaccination, or face endless fines. Once this became the norm, then mandatory Covid tracking apps would be introduced as the only way to enter public establishments and mass transit. Eventually, everyone would be forced to use their phones as a pass to purchase anything anywhere. The final domino would be CBDCs, of course. Once all transactions are going through smartphones, the next step toward centralized control is a currency totally under control of the government. Without CBDCs, the control system falls apart. With physical cash, there’s no way for the government to control transactions. Even without cash, the public could use gold and silver or barter (once again, as we have during crises for thousands of years). People could create their own black markets and survive. But with a CBDC monopoly in place, participation in the wider economy would be impossible.” – Brandon Smith

THE BIG PICTURE

The Real Point of the “Patriot Front” Psy-Op – “Over the Fourth of July weekend, Washington DC found itself beset by the “Patriot Front”, about 400 guys in matching outfits, with white balaclavas covering their faces and waving flags about. The (relatively small) gathering walked about a bit, did some marching, waved some flags…and scared the press to death! Regardless, they are not real. Even if they’re not literally all FBI agents – which we can’t actually rule out – they are a psy-op to some extent or another. Just look at them. And you can just look at them, do you know why? Because they’re all over the press and social media. This picture in particular has “gone viral”:This kind of coverage, this kind of engineered viral content, is the hallmark of the psy-op, and it shows what Patriot Front (and groups like them) are really for: Creating the illusory threat of potential fascism on the fringes to distract from very real fascism already in the very centre of power. ” – Kit Knightly

Today In Dystopia – “The longer we wait for revolution, the more weapons they’ll have in place to stop us” – Caitlin Johnstone

Get the Flock out of Here – “Nosy Big Brother’s incessant need-to-know is getting out of control. Remember when the answer to every privacy concern was, “If you haven’t done anything wrong, you have nothing to hide?” That was cute. Today, it’s increasingly, “If you haven’t done anything wrong, make sure you have text receipts, Ring camera footage, and several hours of bodycam backup explicitly showing you not doing it.” Apparently Innocence™ is now a Premium upgrade requiring at least 20 terabytes of cloud storage. Today, “Flock cameras” are popping up on telephone poles across the country like pimples on prom night. Flock Safety is a private tech company that contracts with police departments, homeowners associations, businesses, and entire cities to install AI-powered security cameras. The result is a searchable catalog investigators can use to trace exactly where a particular vehicle has been. That database is accessible to any officer in a participating department, typically with no warrant requirement and no meaningful audit trail” – Jenna McCarthy

He’s been living internationally for nearly three decades — and he’s helped thousands of families legally escape broken systems.” – The Sovereign Sphere

The Curious Case of The Man Who Wanted to Make Death An Option, Now Facing a Mystery ‘Autoimmune Disease’ – “He wanted to live forever, and used every method in the book to do so – from DMT to vaccines. Who is to say what really caused his downward spiral? I doubt it was the broccoli. Bryan Johnson wanted to make death an option. That was the whole pitch — the millions poured into his own body, the pills and the plasma and the perfect sleep, the “Don’t Die” summits, the son’s blood, the relentless measurement of everything measurable. So when he announced on June 30 that he has autoimmune gastritis — that, in his own words, “my stomach is eating itself” — the story practically wrote itself.” – Sayer Ji  -GUESS SPENDING $2 MILLION A YEAR ON ALL HIS PROTOCOLS DIDN’T HELP AS MUCH AS HE THOUGHT IT WOULD!!!!

And the key records, of course, were likely destroyed decades ago. The officials who authorized it are all gone. The agencies responsible are still guarding the vault.

Total power grid failure leaves Cuba in darkness amid growing crisis and protests – “Cuba’s power grid has collapsed multiple times since 2024, after decades of failure to maintain and modernize the Soviet-era power stations. The old power plants lack the reserve capacity to absorb glitches and breakdowns, which regularly cascade into the collapse of the entire grid or significant portions of it. As recently as March the whole island went dark twice. A de facto oil blockade imposed by the Trump administration to push the communist government to negotiate and make reforms has aggravated the situation.

The chart damage has been significant as prices remain in a technically-bearish configuration and below all of the key moving averages.

Packing for Preppers Meet requires you to locate your equipment, inspect it, move it, fit it into a vehicle, set it up away from home, and live from it for several days. That process exposes problems that are easy to ignore when supplies remain stacked on shelves. You may discover that the flashlight you planned to bring has corroded batteries. The fuel canister beside the camp stove may be empty. The tent stakes may be in a different container than the tent. The power bank may be fully charged, but the cable needed for your phone is nowhere to be found. These are minor inconveniences at a planned gathering. During an evacuation, they become serious failures.” – denob

That silence leaves a lot of people confused, and in some cases exposed to federal charges they never saw coming.” – Bob Rodgers

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

Well, now Billy Voltaire was a piano player up from Miami way
He used to play in the bars, he could sound like the stars
Ladies would pay and pay
One night he did wind up playin’ in Havana town
Nobody knew, least Billy Voltaire that these were his final sounds

He met up with Meritta, a dancer in from the Coast
Half woman, half child, she drove him half wild
He loved that lady the most
One night he did find her in the arms of Shrimper Dan
So he pulled a knife, took poor Danny’s life
And then he turned his own cold hand

And it’s just a Cuban crime of passion
Messy and old fashioned
Yeah, that’s what the papers did say
It’s just a Cuban crime of passion
Añejo and knives a slashin’
Yeah but that’s what the people like to read about
Up in America, up in America

Well now they never found Meritta, some people say she got ill
Billy Voltaire had no one to claim him, he was buried on pauper’s hill
And no one talks about ’em no more, it happened just a week ago
But people get by and people get high
In the tropics they come and they go

And it’s just a Cuban crime of passion
Messy and old fashioned
Yeah, that’s what the papers did say
It’s just a Cuban crime of passion
Añejo and knives a slashin’
But that’s what the people like to read about
Up in America, up in America

( Cuban Crime Of Passion by Jimmy Buffett, Tom Corcoran )

THE BIG PICTURE

The American story: a republic if you can keep it – “Our success and thriving are not guaranteed. They depend upon us and if we take them for granted or vilify and deny their stern realities, we will, like so many once flourishing empires before us, fall. But if we understand them and recommit to them, we will rise and the best American century will be yet to come. This is the choice.” – El Gato Malo

The Oldest Scam on Earth Is Still Running for Office – “Why mankind was never supposed to need a government in the first place. The first law in human history was not a tax code. It was not a zoning ordinance. It did not require a permit, a notary, or a 90-minute wait at a government office staffed by one employee and eleven empty chairs. The first law was one sentence long and it was about fruit. Don’t eat from that tree. That’s it. That was the entire legal system of the human race. Eve ate the fruit anyway. Adam went along with it, And humanity got evicted from paradise over a snack.The law stayed simple, stayed personal, and stayed between you and God. That arrangement was the design. Everything since has been a corruption of it. So God lets things run their course for a while, and mankind immediately demonstrates its single most reliable talent, which is lining up behind powerful and charismatic beings and doing whatever they say. We have a word for those beings now. Demagogues.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

Trump is lying about the Reflecting Pool (VIDEO) – “There is a baseline hum of Trump pageantry that most of us have learned to tune out like a screensaver, where everything is the greatest and the most beautiful and it adds up to nothing. Then there is the louder register, the wounded pride and the poster boards and the grievance staged like an opera, and that one I read as an alarm, because he only reaches it when a project has something underneath it he would rather you never picture. The last time he performed at that volume it was about the East Wing, and this summer he aimed the identical performance at a reflecting pool. ” – Audrey Henson / The Drey Dossier  – ANOTHER GOOD ONE FROM AUDREY!!!

It’s the Fourth of July! Why Am I Sad? – “When I was a boy, one of my favorite holidays was Independence Day. I was an enthusiastic student of the War for Independence. Over the years, alas, my enthusiasm became dampened so that now, if I am exposed to any mainstream media celebrations of Independence Day, I do not feel the joy I once did. Instead I feel more like Charlie Brown at the beginning of A Charlie Brown Christmas. Now, much older and perhaps wiser, when I hear the popular media gushing about our freedoms, the Declaration of Independence, the Liberty Bell, Celebrate America concerts, and all the rest on the Fourth of July, instead of being happy, I feel a tinge of sadness. The Leviathan state’s control goes beyond dollars, however. In fact, our rulers seem to want to control as much of our lives as possible.  Did you know that the federal government regulates the production of battery chargers, ceiling fans, central air conditioners, clothes dryers, clothes washers, clothing itself, computer and battery backup systems, dehumidifiers, dishwashers, furnaces and boilers, kitchen ranges and ovens, lawn mowers, microwave ovens, swimming pool heaters, refrigerators and freezers, window air conditioners, televisions, cable and satellite TV boxes, water heaters, commercial ice makers, industrial clothes washers, compressors, electric motors, fans and blowers, refrigerated beverage vending machines, refrigeration equipment, walk-in coolers and freezers, ceiling fan light kits, lamps, fluorescent lamp ballasts, illuminated exit signs, light bulbs, flash lights, faucets, showerheads, and flush toilets? And this is not even an exhaustive list. Exhausting yes, but exhaustive, no. The USDA regulates the marketing of cotton, milk and dairy products, fruits and vegetables, and livestock, poultry, and feed. Government bureaucrats even have detailed instructions mandating the cornbread-to-meat ratio required in a commercial corn dog! The state will not even let us produce and sell corn dogs on our own! ” – Shawn Ritenour  – LAND OF THE FREE, HOWEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can The Declaration Of Independence Survive The Founding Fathers’ Hypocrisy? – “Consider The Alternative. For 250 years, the Declaration of Independence has been this country’s highest aspiration, and our fondest hope. Despite the flaws and failings of this nation’s Founding Fathers, the aspiration that is the Declaration of Independence warrants celebration, not just on the Fourth of July, but on every day throughout the year.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Sparklers and Sorrow – “The United States 250th anniversary should be the party of the century. There should be Main Street parades stretching from Maine to California, fireworks lighting up the night sky with unrestrained joy, and a collective, roaring cheer for the greatest experiment in human liberty ever devised. But let’s be real. If you tune out the fabricated hype and look around your own community, does it feel like a celebration? Or does it feel a little more like a wake?” – MN Gordon

The American Dream is still worth fighting for (VIDEO) – “America has failed many people in many ways. But surrendering the dream of a self-directed life would be the ultimate defeat. The idea that ordinary people could build a life, speak freely, worship freely, own property, raise families, form communities, and govern themselves is still a radical thought in many parts of the world. But we must acknowledge: the American Dream is on shaky ground. Despite this, even if it’s not what it once was, it’s absolutely worth defending.” – Collapse Life

Declaring America’s Independence From the Tyranny of Militarism and War – “Beware the Termites of War. Today, America has a new “king.” It’s the national security state, with all its threat inflation, its wars, and its appetite for more, always more. Combine that with President Trump and self-styled Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and their reckless pursuit of war irrespective of the Constitution and of international law, let alone Christian concepts of morality, and you have a form of tyranny that Americans must declare their independence from.” – Bill Astore

Long-warned about global depopulation scheme now lurching into overdrive – “It was interesting to me that the Guidestones, with their incriminating globalist agenda for a vastly smaller global population spelled out in unmistakable terms, were destroyed just as people were waking up to the mass psyop known as Covid 19. Depopulation is the key to understanding everything going on in the world today at the geopolitical level. This trend is facilitated not only by endless wars but through engineered famine.’ – Leo Hohmann

Time to Stop Seducing Fido – “Are We Witnessing the Quiet Centralization of Power? There is an old Canadian expression that most people know, but few dare print in polite company: “Quit f**king the dog.” or “Sh*t or get off the pot”. To keep this article family friendly, I shifted it to Stop Seducing Fido.

But far be it from these virtue-preening talking heads to get the irony. To wit, financial journalists are never hesitant to genuflect to the dogma of an “independent central bank”—especially when the Donald is hectoring the Eccles Building with his perennial demand for rate cuts. Yet it was exactly the so-called “independent” Fed which enabled Trump & Sons to scam big time the very gambling casino—once known as Wall Street—-which it fostered by relentless money-printing, interest rate repression and price-keeping operations in the stock markets.” – David Stockman

Billionaire Governor Pritzker Embraces Socialist Candidates As The Future Of The Democrat Party – “It’s a common and almost inevitable component of communist history that the leaders of proletariat movements always end up becoming some of the wealthiest people in those movements.

On CNN’s “The Source”, Pritzker defended progressive/Democratic Socialist candidates as the “recipe for winning” for the Democrat Party going into the future.” -Tyler Durden

Is Mitch McConnell Dead? – “The big terrarium in the sky beckons. His status and whereabouts have become as big of a state secret as anything in the CIA’s vaults. Two weeks ago, on the morning of June 14, he was found unconscious at his D.C. home and rushed to the hospital, after an EMS call reporting a cardiac arrest at his address and that he’d been given CPR. Previously, all McConnell’s office had said was that he was in the hospital and “receiving excellent care.” In other words, the senior senator responsible for representing a state of over four million people went MIA and you’re not allowed to know why, or well, anything. And it’s not the only case this month or even this week of secrecy surrounding the whereabouts of those in Congress.” – Ken Klippenstein

Rather than give up, Jewish groups reeling from the defeat have decided to launch a renewed offensive, this time attacking opposition to their Zionist agenda at its root: freedom of speech, especially on social media. In May and June, a bipartisan coalition of 15 House Republicans and 14 Democrats formally sponsored the Jewish American Security Act (JASA), a piece of legislation that if passed would constitute one of the most sweeping attacks on the First Amendment in American history.

Many of us who monitor federal excess are fearful of out-of-control democracy, which is what we have in America today, yet there remain in our federal structure a few safeguards against runaway federal tyranny, such as the equal state representation in the Senate, the Electoral College, the state control of federal elections, the remnants of state sovereignty, and life-tenured federal judges and justices.

The Unfinished Revolution: When Rights Become Privileges – “What exactly are Americans celebrating this Fourth of July? Two hundred and fifty years after the Declaration of Independence proclaimed that all people possess inalienable rights, we now live under a government that increasingly behaves as though rights belong to the government to distribute, restrict and revoke as it sees fit. Freedom has become conditional. Equal justice under law has become selective. Constitutional rights have become political bargaining chips.

This could only happen in a society that is obedient, compliant, and respectful of extreme false authority platforms. The bogus ‘idea’ of ‘man-made’ global warming has always been the crutch used to support the lies about stratospheric aerosol injection as being necessary to block sunlight; a most absurd claim. While there may be warming, it is not due to driving a car or taking a trip, or to natural carbon dioxide emissions. The manipulation of weather has caused unnatural emissions, which cause increases in temperatures, not decreases.” – Gary D. Barnett

But, they have also ruled in favor of migrant anchor babies (a big loss).” – Brandon Smith

War On Iran: – Trump Requested Briefing For War Renewal – “The White House is eager to return to outright war on Iran. All reasonable military options the U.S. got are still no better than they were when the U.S. filed for a ceasefire. Iran’s deterrence, which comes in two forms, is still sufficient. Its ballistic missiles and drones are able to hit any target in the Middle East. Its ability to blockade the Strait of Hormuz make any campaign against Iran a very risky endeavor. The consequences of a new blockade could easily ruin the global economy.” – Moon of Alabama

There will not be a US invasion of Iran – “Talk of Desert Storm v2 is either uninformed, delusional or clickbait. The 1991 Desert Storm campaign was considered a masterclass in logistics and staging. What generally goes unspoken is that it was UNCONTESTED staging.” – Ashes of Pompeii

The names on the really old stones have faded. The people who once worked those area fields are long gone. Yet somehow their fingerprints are still all over the landscape. The road into town may follow a wagon path they first cleared. The church on the hill may stand on a foundation they helped lay. An orchard may still produce fruit from trees planted by hands that turned to dust generations ago. Their lives continue to speak through things they built, protected, and passed on. The influence remains.” – Bill Heid
