LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

All the stories have been told
Of kings and days of old
But there’s no England now (there’s no England now)
All the wars that were won and lost
Somehow don’t seem to matter very much anymore
All the lies we were told (all the lies we were told)
All the lies of the people running ’round
Their castles have burned
Now I see change
But inside we’re the same as we ever were

Living on a thin line
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line (living on a thin line)
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line (living on a thin line)
Living this way, each day is a dream
What am I, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line (living on a thin line)
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?

Now another century nearly gone (gone)
What are we gonna leave for the young?
What we couldn’t do, what we wouldn’t do
It’s a crime, but does it matter?
Does it matter much, does it matter much to you?
Does it ever really matter?
Yes, it really, really matters

Living on a thin line (living on a thin line)
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line (living on a thin line)
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?

Then another leader says
“Break their hearts and break some heads”
Is there nothing we can say or do?
Blame the future on the past
Always lost in bloody guts
And when they’re gone, it’s me and you

Living on a thin line
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line (living on a thin line)
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line

THE BIG PICTURE

Let’s talk about…the surge in food warnings and recalls – “Earlier today, NBC News reported “at least 55 people” had fallen ill after eating contaminated alfalfa sprouts across 15 US states. This is just the latest one of these. On August 5th, the CDC announced a salmonella outbreak linked to jalapeño peppers. As of August 7th there were 11 active FDA food warnings and recalls according to this tracking website. That number has only grown in the two weeks since. On August 14th, the FDA recalled 1.6 MILLION cartons of eggs, citing potential salmonella contamination. On August 15th, it was tomato soup from Walmart, this time due to listeria contamination: On August 19th, the FDA announced a massive recall of granola cereals – again due to salmonella infection. Yesterday there were two. This seems like a LOT of food warnings and poisoning outbreaks, right? But the US FDA says no, less than an hour ago the FDA’s official X account posted data showing it’s actually a down year in terms of recalls:” – Kit Knightly

Gotta scan ’em all: How Pokémon Go turned its players into Pentagon cartographers – “Pokémon Go players supplied billions of street-level scans to Niantic’s mapping systems. Years later, the technology they helped build is being adapted for drones operating beyond the reach of GPS. For nine years, Pokémon Go asked its players to go outside and “catch ‘em all.” Millions of children and their parents walked through their cities with cameras raised. A game largely played by children had helped build technology now being adapted for US military use.” – Anis Raiss

What still holds Canada together? (VIDEO) with Max Bernier – “Canada is at a crossroads. Out west, Alberta is preparing to vote on whether the province should stay with the status quo or begin a process that could lead to a formal referendum on independence. Meanwhile, Quebec’s leading separatist party is promising its own referendum. And across the country, people’s frustration with Ottawa, mass immigration, and the cost of living just keeps growing.” – Collapse Life

What Was Cut From Eyes Wide Shut? The Missing Pieces of a Cinematic Masterpiece. – “Stanley Kubrick, dear reader, is widely recognised as one of the greatest filmmakers to ever live. His final work, Eyes Wide Shut, arrived in 1999 to a divided reception, but controversy was nothing new for Kubrick. Kubrick spent two years crafting it, and in June 1999, he screened his final cut for Warner Bros. The studio’s response? They would not release it unless he removed 24 minutes from the film. Kubrick refused. And just four days after that screening: he was dead After his death, Warner Bros. edited the film and released their version. The timing, dear reader, is impossible to ignore.Many believe Kubrick’s death was not natural, and that the 24 to 45 minutes the studio demanded be cut holds the answer to why. ” – Jordan Nuttall

Some shattering illusions of our declining empire – “Americans are waking up to ugly truths. – “Now that the lofty 250th-anniversary rhetoric about the greatness of our country has faded, it is time to face the reality of our country’s actual behavior. The U.S. fashions itself as a generous and benevolent world leader enforcing the “rules-based order”—a deceptive construct used by globalist elites to bully other countries. The rules are arbitrarily changed to suit the bullies and are regularly fashioned into pretexts for military action against uncooperative nations. In short, it is a hoax, untethered from the principles and ideals of our founders. Almost daily we witness some spectacle illustrating the appalling corruption of our country’s leadership. ” – George D. O’Neill Jr.

Canada-US Trade War Erupts, Setting New 50% Tariffs On Canadian Goods – “US-Canada trade negotiations collapsed at the 11th hour, just before the midnight deadline, triggering 50% tariffs on about $20 billion worth of Canadian goods (under a never-before- used Section 338 provision of the Tariff Act of 1930) and prompting globalist-aligned, China-sympathizing Prime Minister Mark Carney to promise an equivalent response.” – Tyler Durden

The Great Burrito Debate And The Uncomfortable Solution To Inflation – “Keep in mind, those of us in the alternative economic field had to fight against the lies of the Biden Administration as well as establishment economists like Paul Krugman and Federal Reserve officials like Janet Yellen just to wake the public up to the fact that inflation was upon us and that it was NOT “transitory”. Ultimately, everyone’s bank balances and monthly bills could not be denied and the gas-lighting ended. The only recourse of the establishment at that point was to blame Trump for all of it. The “Herbert Hoover” comparisons were rampant.” – Brandon Smith

“We Are Weeks Away From Emergency”(VIDEO) with Gregory Mannarino – “The United States only can function moving from crisis to crisis to crisis. And each crisis requires what? More funding, more debt. It’s basically a one-way ticket into absolute financial obscurity. But it’s not about the markets, man. This is about uh a locking up of the system. The stock market is 6, seven, eight times overvalued, built on the back of planetary debt, uh which has nowhere to go, but much much higher in this kind of an environment. again we’re hitting we’re bumping up against a walland the debt market is telling us that’s what’s happening.

How to Profit When the Oil Market Splits – “One of the more enticing things about financial markets is not that they’re predictable. Or that they’re not predictable. It’s that they’re almost predictable – or at least they appear they should be. When the Strait of Hormuz was first closed following the ill-advised military strikes on Iran by the United States and Israel at the end of February, it was all so obvious. Oil prices would skyrocket. Crack Spread This widening divergence between the price of raw crude oil and the price of refined fuels is captured by a key industry metric known in energy trading circles as the crack spread. In simple terms, the crack spread represents the gross refining margin between crude oil and the refined products made from it. The classic benchmark is the 3-2-1 crack spread, which models the expected yield of taking three barrels of crude oil and processing them into two barrels of gasoline and one barrel of distillate fuel like diesel or heating oil. What normally prevents extreme spreads from persisting is competition and arbitrage. If refined product prices spike, operating refineries have an incentive to run harder. Refined product may also be imported from other regions. Crude flows toward the plants offering the best economics. Eventually the market returns the spread back toward its normal range. Right now, that market balancing mechanism is impaired. ” – MN Gordon

China Just Pulled the Plug on Paper Silver – “A retail paper-trading shutdown, a quiet export clampdown, and a market that can’t just mine its way out.

It’s Official: Feds Cut Colorado River Water for California, Nevada, and Arizona – “The water cuts everyone spent three years arguing about got signed today. The Lower Basin loses about 21 percent of its river water, and the cuts could nearly double after 2028. The part that hasn’t happened yet The 1.25 million acre-feet number could be just the beggining. The 10-year framework Reclamation put out in July gave the feds authority to cut the Lower Basin by as much as 3 million acre-feet per year — up to 40 percent. What to do about it. The point of paying attention to this stuff is so that a bad month is an inconvenience instead of an emergency. Store water now, not later.

The Rifle That Earns Its Keep – “The .22 Long Rifle occupies a strange place in the firearms world. Some shooters dismiss it as a beginner’s cartridge—useful for punching paper and teaching basic marksmanship, but not serious enough for an experienced rifleman. At the other extreme, survival folklore turns it into a magical do-everything cartridge capable of feeding, protecting and sustaining a household indefinitely. Both views miss the point.” – denob

America In Denial – “That Americans are in denial is not difficult to demonstrate. Consider climate change, a leading topic for decades, but a topic without robust discussion or debate around it. There has never been agreement that in judging possible climate change we should use all resources that can inform us about global temperature history. Not just data beginning with the industrial revolution, but data from 1000s of years, preserved in ice. Without that info, it’s impossible to assess whether climate change exists at all. Or what to do about it. Essential denial is not around climate, mRNA, Iran, or Ukraine. Instead, it’s denial and fear of discussion and facts.

THE DEEPER DIVE: The Big Bond Bust is Here – “It’s GLOBAL and out of control, and it’s tearing the national debt apart, spiking everyone’s interest rates on everything all over the world, boosting inflation, and likely incinerating the dollar.” – David Haggith

Number Of The Day: $40 Trillion Of Public Debt And Counting Rapidly To WTF?! – “Yesterday the public debt which had stood a $1 trillion exactly 45 years ago crossed the $40 trillion mark. And it breached that towering level without so much as a by-your-way acknowledgement from a Republican-controlled White House and Congress. Indeed, the only official notice taken insofar as we can tell is Secy Bessent’s idiotic move yesterday to buy long-term USTs and sell short-term Treasury bills to fund his fiscal shell game. And when that didn’t quiet the bond pits our latter day Howdy Doody playing Secretary of the Treasury urged not to sweat it—” – David Stockman

What’s $40 Trillion Among Friends? – “We are told the deficit doesn’t matter, the national debt is just a number, and rising interest costs are manageable because America borrows in its own currency. And those people are correct. It doesn’t matter today because Treasury auctions still clear, the dollar remains dominant, and the government can always create more dollars. It doesn’t matter, until it does.” – Kerry Lutz

He argues that AI investment is increasingly fueled by debt and circular financing rather than organic cash flow, potentially creating another major vulnerability in the credit markets. Pento predicts the next market crash could be extraordinarily severe, with stocks potentially falling 50% and home prices declining 25–30%, while banks and municipalities face mounting losses. He also warns that the government and Federal Reserve may lack the balance-sheet capacity to respond as they have in previous crises, ” – Dunagun Kaiser / Liberty and Finance

Busted bonds and bouncing gold – “There can be little doubt that gold has turned a corner. Markets now see risk in the dollar, whereas as recently as last month it was everyone’s safe haven. This dramatic change in sentiment has seen gold rise to positive territory for the year and oversold silver rushing to catch up. So far, the buying appears to be a western phenomenon without Chinese involvement. Since mid-July gold has risen over $600 to $4590 this morning and silver from under $55 to $69.70. ” – Alasdair Macleod

Oilpocalypse Now? Or Something Worse? – “China And Europe Economic Woes Driven More By Systemic Deflation. With Persian Gulf oil flows still highly disrupted, there are few arguments to be made against the inevitability of the oilpocalypse. If those energy flows are not restored, once strategic reserve releases cease buffering oil prices, a second wave price and supply shock will cascade across the world’s economies. Given the intractability of both President Trump’s Administration in the US and the IRGC in Iran, that outcome seems unavoidable.” -Peter Nayland Kust

THE BIG PICTURE

The Collapse Is Here! Global Bond Market Implodes, US Treasury to the Rescue! – “The superbubble is imploding everywhere today. In short, what the Treasury announced was a form of the Fed’s former Operation Twist, which was one of former Fed Chair Ben Burn-the-banky’s forms of QE. Because bond yields blew out so high on the US30YR Treasury this week, the Secretary Scott Be-sent-by-Trump announced today that his Treasury Dept. will begin massive cannibalistic buybacks of its own bonds in the higher-aging maturity tenors by financing those buybacks with huge issuances of shorter-term Treasuries that have lower rates. This is aimed at having the effect of lowering rates on long-term bonds by raising rates on short-term bonds as the Treasury now floods the market with shorter-term bonds to try to secure lower interest rates on the bloated national debt, using that new funding to reduce supply of long-maturity bonds, thereby driving up price, down yields.” – David Haggith – THIS IS HUGE SHEEPLE 🐑 🐑 🐑 .

We Can’t Vote Our Way Out Of This (VIDEO) – “Let me say this again for those in the back who still do not understand this. We cannot vote our way out of any of this because the ones who are doing all of this are the real life Nephilim along with the worldly governors that Ephesians 6 warns about. The original fallen from before the flood. You know, the ones who actually have power andauthority here on earth. The ones from the demonic kingdom that are calling the shots along with their Nephilim, theirnonhuman puppets. Those are the ones who are actually doing all of this. This is not something that we can all come together, rise up against, and fightbecause this is an actual spiritual issue. This is not a physical issue. This is an actual spiritual war. Because the ones who are calling the shots, the ones who are actually making these decisions are not fully human. They are literally a part of the demonic [music] kingdom.

She is, by the standards of more reasonable and civil times, both boorish and bananas, an uncivil person driving uncivil society without regard to reason or discourse. Hers is simply a tack of shouting down and disallowing the speech of any with whom she finds fault. This is what it looks like when you think that suppressing any ideas but yours is justice. It will be a praxis familiar to anyone who was watching american universities circa 2020. No room full of actual adults would tolerate this. draw such conclusions as seem appropriate about the rest of the folks in the chamber (this is the Florida State House of Reps).

Who Are The Rothschilds? – “Looking Beyond the Official Story. The Rothschild family is recognised today as the richest family on the planet, dear reader, and it has been this way for centuries. The family descends from Mayer Amschel Rothschild, a court Jew born in Germany who established his banking business in the 1760s. Mayer went on to build the most influential network of banks across Europe, and he did it with the help of his five sons. Together, they funded global affairs, and worked their way into becoming the wealthiest family the world had ever seen. What many do not know, curious mind, is that Mayer A. Rothschild pre‑arranged marriages within the family. He set it up so that female members had very limited options when it came to securing their inheritance; the only way they could ensure they would receive their share of the family wealth was to marry their own cousins. It was an effective way to keep money within the family, as unethically disgusting as it is.” – Jordan Nuttall

Coward-In-Chief – “America has had some pathetic leaders throughout its history, but never one the likes of Donald J. Trump. Every principle or virtue of leadership one could point to as being obligatory to the character of a true leader is missing from this man. In fact, Trump’s character is the polar opposite of every principle or virtue of true leadership. Trump leads by intimidation, threats, humiliation, bullying, arrogance, complete and utter callousness to the needs of others and pure, unadulterated violence and bloodshed. Those are not the marks of a leader; those are the marks of a gangster. Those are also the marks of a coward. And that’s exactly what Trump is: the Coward-in-Chief. This character defect was put on display for the whole world to see just recently in a most astonishing way—even for Trump.” – Chuck Baldwin

Betrayal – “A Major Theme in American Politics. I know: politicians lie. Who knew? But the lies are so blatant, so fundamental (if that’s the right word), that it’s hard not to despair. Consider Barack Obama. As a candidate he was a beacon of hope and change. He told Planned Parenthood that signing the Freedom of Choice Act would be the first thing he did as president. Once in office, he said it was not his highest legislative priority—and it never got done. Obama said he was the hope and change for Americans to believe in. He proved to be a very smooth con man.

He promised to put Americans first, to end wasteful wars, to take on the military-industrial complex, and to restore American “greatness.” Instead, he’s waging a costly and apparently losing war with Iran” – Bill Astore

Many dozens were sent, killing over 16 people and injuring more than 40, local authorities report.” – Tyler Durden

CYBERATTACKS On Water Systems A Classic Israeli War Crime – “Cyber Av3ngers has been linked to multiple cyber attacks on US water facilities including 30 in Minnesota alone during July. A US Company, DRAGOS, billed as a Cyber Threat Intelligence Agency made the determination that this was an Iranian plot. Dragos is located in Hanover, Maryland adjacent to Fort Meade home to US Military Cyber Command – Translation: DRAGOS is a military contractor consultant and anything they say is questionable, including the accusation that water facilities have been under attack by Iran – but they have been routinely bombed by Israel. Gaza water facilities nonexistent. Lebanon’s water facilities – destroyed. Syria’s water facilities – bombed in 2019. Libya’s water facilities – one week ago. Bahrain, Kuwait, UAE and IRAN – all attacked.” – Helena Glass – IRAN OR ISRAEL, ME THINKS THEY ARE ACCUSING THE WRONG ONE!!!

Pound for pound, the plum may be one of the hardest-working fruits you can plant. It feeds your family, gives early spring pollinators a desperately needed meal, preserves beautifully, and asks for less pampering than many orchard fruits.” – Bill Heid

You want the water you already paid to do some real work, the kind that saves money or covers you in a dry spell. So this isn’t that list. These are five uses that fit the homesteading life, and a couple caught me off guard the first time I heard about them. The best part? None are complicated.” – Olivia Brooks

Being Flexible in our Service to God – “As life goes, when one door closes, another opens.” – Kate Dreston

What’s Wrong With Flock? – “Well, let’s start with the name. It is demeaning. Sheep run in flocks. Are herded. The name tells us what those who intend to herd us have in mind for us. Keep in mind what eventually happens to sheep. Our would-be shepherds – so to speak – are not herding us to “keep us safe.” They intend to fence us in – so hat we are easier to shear. They do not say this, of course. They say it is for our safety. By now, people should reflexively become alarmed whenever they hear others talk about their “safety.” Everyone is naturally self-interested in their own safety. The only one who has the right to make such valuations is the individual. The Flock people – specifically, CEO Garrett Langley – believe otherwise, or so they pretend to believe. The premise underlying the placing of cameras everywhere people go is that it will keep the “flock” safe. In other words, that it is a benevolent, altruistic operation. Something like a mom keeping an eye on her kid while he’s playing outside. Except of course Garret Langley is not our mother and is not motivated by motherly protective instincts. He is motivated by pecuniary interests; i.e., the desire to make money.” – Eric Peters

Psychiatry as Diabolical Pseudoscience: The Sordid Tale of Lindsay Clancy – “From September 2022 until she allegedly murdered her own family and jumped out of a two-story window in January 2023, Clancy was dosed with no fewer than 13 psychotropic pharmaceutical drugs furnished by multiple providers, none of whom bothered to coordinate their prescribed regimens despite knowing that she was seeing other doctors and suffering extreme side effects: · Sertraline · Lorazepam · Hydroxyzine · Clonazepam · Buspirone · Amitriptyline · Trazodone · Fluoxetine · Zolpidem · Mirtazapine · Quetiapine · Diazepam · Lamotrigine Clancy’s psychiatrist, Dr. Jennifer Tufts with the dead eyes — she appears to perhaps be drinking the proverbial Kool-Aid herself, as it were — testified that she had conducted all of Clancy’s “therapy” sessions, which lasted a grand total of 17 minutes, via Zoom or its equivalent, via what they call in the business “telehealth.” She literally had never seen Clancy, her own patient to whom she prescribed numerous hard drugs simultaneously,” – Ben Bartee

The Gloves Are Off: ICE, Electric Shock Weapons and Secret Police – “This is what comes of giving a lawless agency unlimited funds to build detention centers, terrorize communities, and act as a secret police force. Anything goes. Masked raids. Unmarked vehicles. Warrantless arrests. Racial profiling. Sweeping surveillance. Detention camps. Excessive force. Citizens dragged off the streets. Protesters targeted.

As savings finally dry up, rates remain higher and auto loan/credit card delinquencies start rising, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a deluge of ugliness from these types of names in their next few quarterly reports. There is nothing particularly revolutionary about lending money at egregious rates to people who don’t have any. But when you start extending tiny amounts of credit so consumers can finance increasingly trivial purchases, whether that’s a burrito, groceries, takeout or other everyday expenses, you aren’t witnessing some great innovation in financial technology.

Venezuela’s Stolen Gold but Guess What?

At the current average interest rate of about 3.6%, a debt of $39.9 trillion adds roughly $4 billion in interest every single day. Paying $4 billion daily only covers the interest charges, keeping the loan current. Every cent goes toward the fee, leaving the $39.9 trillion total principal completely untouched.

The story is comfortable, familiar, and only half true. When researchers separate the two clocks running inside every cell, the one tied to charging and discharging and the one tied to nothing more than elapsed time, they keep landing on the same awkward finding. Under a lot of ordinary conditions, batteries degrade faster sitting untouched on a shelf, in a drawer, or in a parked vehicle than they do in the hands of somebody who actually puts them to work.” – Bob Rodgers

THE BIG PICTURE

The All-Seeing Eye – “In an era where our every word, step, and glance can be archived, summarized, and replayed by sleek little discs pinned to our chests, the ancient archetype of the all-seeing eye has found its modern silicon incarnation. What was once the paranoid whisper of conspiracy has become the marketed convenience of ‘life logging’—yet beneath the promise of perfect memory lies the total erasure of privacy, turning every shrew into a unwitting performer on the surveillance stage. Digital passports, social credit systems, vaccine mandates—each promised safety or convenience while tightening the noose. AI wearables complete the circle: they don’t just monitor the body or the public square; they ingest the mind itself, turning inner dialogue into training data for the next generation of control. We are not far from the logical endpoint—stylish glasses with always-on cameras, or worse, neural implants that record thoughts before they become words. The marketers will call it “seamless augmentation.” The shrew calls it the end of anything resembling private life. But here we go. Woo-hoo again, what fun!” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

As the US Military and Israeli Military Openly Merge, All Criticism is Rebuffed Using the Red Shield – “The US and Israeli Militaries have worked together closely since the Nation of Israel was founded in 1948. In large part, the founding of the Israeli State gave the US government a base for expansion and control in the Middle East. Yes, the US has bases all over the Middle East. But, those bases have to get permission, or appear to get permission, from those nation’s governments before the US can act from those bases. It’s important to understand that our world is not run by the various governments of nation states. The US Empire’s power and funding exist, not because the US is exceptional, but because a transnational Oligarchy has used the US as its primary military might for over a century. Now, the US has served it’s purpose. The transnational Oligarchy controls: governments (through blackmailing and funding the predator political class), intelligence agencies, organized crime, banks, NGOs, the pharmaceutical industry, the media, universities, and most large corporations. This is how a relative few facilitate plans that transform our world. ” – Sarah E. Lawton – LONG, BUT EXTREMELY INYERESTING!!!

The Madness of King Trump – “Trump isn’t a king – though he would probably like to be and seems to see himself as one. Nevertheless, there is an interesting correlation between Trump and King George III, the one who was king when the American colonies successfully seceded from the empire of Great Britain. George III went nuts. Check-up from the neck up nuts. Trump seems to need just that. Once again, he has been posting nutty AI-generated memes, among them images of himself with George Washington, a president who wasn’t nuts. To begin with, how is it that the president has time to order these memes made (he almost certainly isn’t capable of making them himself as not many 80- year-olds are tech-hip) and to review and post them on his social media platform? There is a catastrophic war going on. There are catastrophic repercussions percolating. It is not as if it were a time of peace and prosperity and the president had little to do and needed an amusing (if infantile) diversion. That he spends even ten minutes on this infantile and embarrassing twaddle is insulting. ” – Eric Peters – A COUPLE OF GOOD ONES FROM ERIC ⬆️ AND ERIK ⬇️ AS USUAL !!!!

Madmen and Yes Men – “Frank Zappa warned us that one day, inside the crowded theater we metaphorically occupy, the curtain across the back wall would be pulled back revealing no windows and no exit—no way out. Until recently, Putin could call Trump and make small bargains. Now, with Trump under pressure from Netanyahu/Mossad (whatever they have on him), and likelihood of Trump’s diminishing mental/physical condition, it appears his desperation/megalomania have taken control of his mind. There is one card that has not been played. Marjorie Taylor Green, who has come out against her long-time ally, Trump, announced today that she is aware of discussions in DC, providing for nuclear strikes on Iran. If there is any rational at all for this—it is a result of Trump’s desperation. My take: Netanyahu has not become mad—he was always mad—and as such would be on board with nuclear strikes against Iran. According to pundits closest to Trump’s administration, there is consensus that Trump is diminished, psychologically/physically. As such, given his hubris/inability to admit responsibility for his failed presidency—he might do whatever it takes.” – Erik@neverhadaboss.com

The Premeditated and Staged Insanity of War – “The first matter of great importance and honest understanding is that there is no such thing as a ‘defensive’ war. What should follow then, is that no war can ever be against evil, given that war is the epitome of evil. Actual justified self-defense by any individual or group of individuals, regardless of the size and scope of the mass, is warranted only to quell a threat, but any war waged by states or nations, is a war against all, and therefore not defensive, but offensive aggression against innocents.” – Gary D. Barnett

Trump’s Disappearing Presidency – “Trump devotedly pursues deep state continuity and endless war. His administration is rallying what is left of our military to vainly extend the life of a dying petrodollar. Trump’s Israel obsession, and Israel’s amoral maximalism, is producing global chaos designed to advance Israel’s interests as it consumes American bone and sinew, much as the US is consuming Ukraine’s in the proxy war with Russia.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

Washington dropped plans for a border wall in Far West Texas. The bulldozers came anyway. – “After fierce bipartisan resistance, the Trump administration has paused work… temporarily. But the contracts and the larger plan appear to remain in place. There’s a remote part of the West Texas desert that most Americans have probably never heard of and many will never see with their own eyes. If you ever watched Wile E. Coyote chase the Road Runner in Saturday morning cartoons, you can pretty much imagine what it looks like. It’s wild, rugged, beautiful, and still largely untouched. With the harsh terrain and poisonous snakes, spiders, and other predators naturally keeping all but the most intrepid at bay, tourism was almost non-existent until Big Bend National Park was established about 80 years ago. This area is one of the only places in America where you can still see the Milky Way clearly with the naked eye, so pristine is the night sky. It’s not difficult, therefore, to understand why many residents were opposed to the Trump administration’s proposal to build a 30-foot wall through Big Bend National Park. Opposition came from Texans on both sides of the political divide, and for a while it appeared as though the outcry was somewhat successful, with the plans being significantly rolled back. Nevertheless, the bulldozers showed up anyway.” – Collapse Life

First, let me make something very clear: in the military, we “abort” a mission when something is not going as planned. What Gov. Healey signed into law was the permission and acceptance to enact infanticide by way of dismembering unborn babies in the womb. A mother’s womb is supposed to be the safest place for God’s everyday miracle, life. Yet Maura Healey and the accompanying priestesses of Moloch, who smiled and clapped, have now condoned the shedding of innocent blood, and for what reason? Why is it that these so-called “college-educated, elitist, leftist” women have such a disdain for our unborn babies that they would embrace their brutal, disgusting death, ” – Allen West

The Book of Enoch and abortion. Taught by the Nephilim as an occult ritual. Killing babies as laws. – LawyerLisa

The Real Affordability Crisis: Our Government is Unaffordable – “Every politician in America now claims to care about “affordability.” Housing is unaffordable. Healthcare is unaffordable. College is unaffordable. Insurance is unaffordable. Groceries are unaffordable. Raising a family increasingly feels like running a leveraged buyout with no exit strategy. And Washington’s answer is almost always the same: spend more money.” – Kerry Lutz

Governments Don’t Like It When We Gather without Their Permission – “Freedom of association is under attack” – . J.B. Shurk

How Do They Get Away With It—EVERY SINGLE TIME?! – State of the Nation – A COLLECTION OF VARIOUS ARTICLE FROM STATE OF THE NATION!!!

Fauci Email Bomb: FDA Knew About Covid Vaccine Injuries – “Senators Ron Johnson and Rand Paul dropped another single from Anthony Fauci’s Greatest Hits album over the weekend, and the dance floor is shook. This isn’t a remix of “Safe and Effective” or the extended club version of “Trust the Science.” This particular track features the acting commissioner of the FDA herself privately belting out a tune that got the rest of us kicked off Twitter.” – Jenna McCarthy

Does the PREP Act Shield Fauci & Walensky from Liability for Concealing Miscarriage Risk? – “The 2005 PREP Act laid the foundation for the organized criminal creation of SARS-CoV-2 and the organized criminal pandemic response. Can Fauci and Walensky rely on its liability shield?” – John Leake

Weather Modification For Military Weapon Dominance Detailed Since 1970 – “Unclassified, the US Government ordered a report on how to use fire as a weapon against the enemy. Three years in the making and 171 pages detail this military operation and how to kill the most people with the smallest amount of input.” – Helena Glass

Realignments – “We civilians are stuck between that old rock and a hard place. . . two political parties whirling around the drain of extinction in a nation seeming to drift toward the edge of the known world. In the background, a massive realignment grinds away. The old parties of labor and of property have forgotten their reasons for existence. Labor vamoosed to Mexico, China, and obscure faraway lands decades ago. Property is still here, but it’s all been collateralized into grift and fraud. In the absence of working people to defend, the Democrats became a party of racketeering race-and-gender hobgoblins, now marshaling into an insectile host of predatory Marxists, and altogether their antics present as a spectrum of mental illness.The clueless old gorks in charge of the Democratic Party — the likes of Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, Mark Warner, Liz Warren, Chris Murphy, Sheldon Whitehouse — are suddenly nowhere to be seen (or heard). ” – James Howard Kunstler

Trump threatens to ‘bomb the sh*t out of’ Oman – “Tehran and Muscat are discussing a parallel Hormuz deal as talks with Washington stall” – RT

All But Seven House Republicans Committed Treason – “All but seven house Republicans committed treason and voted for the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The seven Republicans that did not commit treason are, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY); Rep. Josh Brecheen (R-OK); Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN); Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ); Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY); Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL); Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX. The rest of the House Republicans that voted for the NDAA committed treason because the bill integrates U.S. military operations with the state of Israel. ” – Joseph Sansone

DNC Votes to Back Eliminating ICE as Trump Expands Deportations – “The Democratic National Committee (DNC) approved resolutions on Saturday addressing immigration enforcement, with members backing a measure urging lawmakers to abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) while also more strongly approving a separate proposal calling for reforms to the agency.” – Steve Mollman

For the American Left, Nothing Succeeds as Much as Failure – “From New York to California, the American left is proving that nothing succeeds like failure. In areas ranging from immigration to taxes to health care, politicians are playing to their past fiascos to push an even more radical agenda. Take immigration. Many, including the Democratic Socialists, have called for open borders or disbanding ICE. After the Biden administration chose to allow millions of undocumented people to enter the country, most Democrats are now calling for “pathways” to make them citizens. After all, they argue, there are too many to deport. We now know the open border was a choice. The Trump administration immediately stopped crossings using the same laws Biden had refused to enforce. As expected, Democrats are expressing horror at the thought that the government would try to deport the millions that they allowed and even encouraged to enter the country.” – Jonathan Turley

Trump dwarfs his predecessors in the number of ultra-rich in his second White House, report shows – “Wealth, perhaps second only to loyalty, has been a prized attribute for Donald Trump during his second presidency. It’s the numbers for the Trump administration, in the context of previous administrations, that stand out in Public Citizen’s report, published on Monday. In all, 57 Trump officials are worth at least $100 million, including 17 ambassadors and the remaining 40 in senior posts across the executive branch.” – Thomas Beaumont

A Student Loan Gets Less Government Scrutiny than a Wine Label – “Maybe we need a new agency to regulate something” – John Hunt, MD

Iran’s Strategy Vindicated as US’s Logistics Chain Hobbled and Stretched by Early Strikes – “On the Iranian front, the most interesting item over the transom today are new reports vindicating something many analysts have proposed since the beginning of the conflict. Namely, that US’s naval problems in the theater all stemmed from Iran’s deliberate strategy of wiping out US bases in the region, resulting in the extremely inefficient lengthening of US supply chain logistics for war:” – Simplicius

Iran Shifts From Defensive To ‘Fully Offensive’ Posture, Denies Trump Has Backchannel With IRGC – “Tehran says MoU long ago rendered “irrelevant” as it expired Monday..” – Tyler Durden

ECONOMIC NEWS

Oilpocalypse—Yes, No, Or Maybe? – “Can An Oil Supply Crisis Be Averted? The war between Iran and the US has been functionally reduced to a simple question: will the Strait of Hormuz be reopened as a freely navigable international waterway? As of this writing, the Strait has not been reopened. Iran has declared the Strait closed, while the US Navy is blockading all Iranian shipping. With the Strait of Hormuz closed, Persian Gulf oil is effectively removed from the global oil marketplace—approximately 20% of global supply is not currently accessible.” – Peter Nayland Kust

An Oily Conundrum – “The Strait of Hormuz is closed. Oh, you can claim otherwise, but it is effectively closed. The claims of our government otherwise are simply not borne out in the supply of oil; you can claim something went through a channel but then it has to wind up somewhere, and it hasn’t. Never mind Marinetraffic which continues to show a crap-ton of vessels at anchor on both sides of it rather than moving through it — and a crap-ton of tankers that are “technically” moving, but at a fraction of a knot. There are a lot of vessels just sitting in the gulf. Contrast with the strait to the WSW around Yemen where there is clearly traffic moving. Then again blocking that is not a one-way exit in that the Suez is available to the North, albeit rather inconvenient if your destination is in Asia. So what’s going on here? Well, quite-obviously the markets don’t think this is a big deal otherwise both oil would be in the stratosphere and the markets would be in the tank because without fuel, particularly diesel, nothing moves. Neither is occurring.” – Karl Denninger

Buried Job Losses Prove a Stealth Recession Has Been Haunting us All along! – “Trump’s “Golden Era” only gilds the upper arm of the K-shaped economy, and “Big Beautiful Bill” and his fat and spendy siblings are a hyuge part of the problem.” – David Haggith

Is This the Start of Gold and Silver’s Next Leg Higher? – Money Metals News Service

We Are In A War-Time Economy. That’s Bullish. – “That’s also why productivity, not just spending, is holding this economy up even with job growth flat. Real GDP averaged above 2.5% over the back half of 2025 even with negative headline job growth, because AI-driven productivity gains are increasingly doing the work labor used to do. Microsoft says 35% of its code is now written by AI. Meta cut 21,000 jobs while INCREASING output. S&P 500 revenue growth has slowed to around 5%, yet earnings per share are still growing at roughly 12% year over year, because margins keep expanding even as top-line growth cools. Slower revenue, expanding margins. That’s exactly what a genuine productivity boom looks like, and it’s a big reason the market keeps shrugging off headlines that would have tanked stocks in any other cycle.” – Graham Summers, MBA

Rising Bond Yields Are a Warning to the US Treasury and the Fed – “The Fed is not in a good spot.” – Mish

The Fed Has Two Bad Choices – Americans Pay Either Way – “Have you ever had one of those conversations that start off, “I’ve got good news, and I’ve got bad news for you?” The good news is that inflation is “less bad” (yes, that is the phrase that the Associated Press used). So, inflation isn’t as bad as it was. That’s the good news. But you’ll notice that they didn’t say that the inflation rate is “good.” And that’s because, based on the Fed’s target inflation rate… and what it feels like every time that we go shopping,, the inflation rate isn’t good (which is the first part of the bad news, if you hadn’t already guessed)” – .Peter Reagan

How to Protect Your Home During Civil Unrest Without Looking Fortified – “During civil unrest, the goal is not to turn your home into a fortress. The better goal is to make it a harder, slower, less attractive target while still looking like a normal house. Two upgrades do that especially well: reinforce the exterior door frame, and strengthen the easiest-to-reach glass.” – Ken Jorgustin

The Summer Kitchen: Cooking All August Without Heating Your House – “August changes the way I want to cook. The garden is producing. Tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, beans, corn, and fruit all seem to arrive at once. That should be good news, but preserving a harvest means boiling water, simmering sauces, processing jars, and running the stove for hours. Doing all of that inside can turn the kitchen into the hottest room in the house.” – Darren Kelburn

When the Roof Starts Leaking and No One Is Coming – “A roof leak is rarely treated as a survival emergency.

That changes after a widespread disaster or prolonged collapse.” – denob

THE BIG PICTURE

No Matter Where You Go, There You Are – “I have no doubt that everyone who has not lived their life on a desert island has heard this worn out cliche, or some variation of it. Yet, as is so often the case, this saying has become a cliche because it it is obviously true. In every moment, and in every place, we are always ourselves, neither more nor less. We do not transform as if by magic into a completely different person merely by changing locations. All that we are—all our hopes, all our dreams, and all our fears necessarily come along for the ride. No matter where we go, there we are, and there we will be. Whatever God calls us to do, whatever plan He has for our lives, will always be there as well.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Third Temple Update- August ‘26 (VIDEO) – Ashley Hays – LISTEN UP, VERY GOOD UPDATE FROM ASHLEY!!!!!!

The CDC Planned Quarantine Camps Nationwide – “No matter how bad you think Covid policies were, they were intended to be worse. Consider the vaccine passports alone. Six cities were locked down to include only the vaccinated in public indoor places. They were New York City, Boston, Chicago, New Orleans, Washington, D.C., and Seattle. The plan was to enforce this with a vaccine passport. It broke. Features of the CDC’s edicts did incredible damage. It imposed the rent moratorium. It decreed the ridiculous “six feet of distance” and mask mandates. It forced Plexiglas as the interface for commercial transactions. Even with all that, worse was planned. CDC issued a plan for establishing nationwide quarantine camps. ” – Jeffrey A. Tucker

Fauci In Hiding As ABC Censorship BOMBSHELL Explodes – “Ex-ABC reporter exposes how Fauci killed a Wuhan lab leak story — while the doctor ducks another Senate probe. Dr. Anthony Fauci just refused a private transcribed interview with Sen. Ron Johnson’s subcommittee. The same week, a former ABC News correspondent revealed that the network gutted a 2021 Wuhan lab leak investigation after the script was sent to Fauci for review.” – Steve Watson

Can any of these scenarios be considered “natural catastrophes”, the short answer is no. ” – Dane Wigington

NEWS

In Defense of Luigi – “The man who shot (and killed) the insurance mafia CEO is seen by some as a sympathetic figure. Perhaps because insurance mafia CEOs cut a very unsympathetic figure. He – the insurance mafia CEO – had it coming, some might say. This doesn’t mean Luigi didn’t commit murder. John Gotti did that when he took out “Big Paul” Castellano outside of Sparks Steak House in New York. Gotti was a thug, certainly – but so was Castellano. Regardless, the fact remains that the health insurance mafia is exactly like the car insurance mafia in that both leveraged the government to force people to fork it over. That is strong-arm robbery by any reasonable understanding and almost everyone understands that everyone has a natural right to defend themselves when confronted by a strong-armed robber. The health insurance mafia emulates these same tactics. It extorts and it extracts and when it is asked to pay, it denies. This made Luigi angry – as it has made most of us angry. Is there anyone who thinks the health insurance mafia isn’t one? That likes these mafiosi? We have all heard about people bankrupted and hounded by these mafiosi for every last cent they can extract. This is not to say Luigi didn’t murder that man. Just as John Gotti took out “Big Paul.”” – Eric Peters

Fake It ‘Til You Make It – The Dems’ New Campaign Motto – “What is it with Democrats and their fake supporters, fake accents, fake backgrounds, fake accomplishments?

2026 Midterms Very, Very Tight Election (VIDEO0 with Martin Armstrong – “It’s a 50/50 deal where we didn’t see either party coming in with a landslide. The bottom line looks like the Democrats can take the House, but not the Senate. So, you will have a 50/50 divided government. You are going to get a lot of the crazies on the Democrat side. Even the conservative Democrats are getting very nervous. You recently had (Democrat) James Carville talking about how the party is going to split, which was our forecast in 2024” – Greg Hunter

Americans are falling into the socialist trap by blaming capitalism for the damages of statism. – “Statism is the gradual replacement of civil society, markets, savings, and individual choice by political control, public spending, regulation, taxation, and monetary intervention.

In Memoriam: The US Gold Dollar (Like It Or Not, It Will Be Forced Back And Soon ) – “Unknown to may, the drive for disconnecting the dollar from gold was headed not by President Nixon but by David Rockefeller’s former personal assistant and future Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker. Volker is lauded as having saved the US dollar by raising the Fed Funds Rate to 19% in 1980 when, in reality, Volker doomed it by pitching the dollar overboard into a sea of assured continual debasement. With the disconnect of America’s dollar from gold, America’s gold was thereafter statically held by the US Treasury as a strategic asset at three primary vault locations: West Point, NY, Denver, Colorado and at Fort Knox, Kentucky. Rumors started to arise about America’s vaulted gold and continue to this day with Rand Paul assuring the world that Fort Knox gold was “present and accounted for” after he toured Fort Knox on Monday last week. Mr. Paul: you’re not helping.” – David Jensen

The Survival Pantry’s Missing Ingredient: Fat – “Most long-term food plans are built around bulk carbohydrates. Rice, wheat, oats, pasta, flour, beans and dehydrated potatoes are inexpensive, easy to store and capable of supplying an impressive number of calories. On paper, the pantry looks ready. The problem becomes apparent when those foods must sustain adults performing hard physical work for months rather than sheltering through a short emergency.

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

You know I can be found
Sitting home all alone
If you can’t come around
At least please telephone
Don’t be cruel to a heart that’s true

Baby, if I made you mad
For something I might have said
Please, let’s forget my past
The future looks bright ahead
Don’t be cruel to a heart that’s true
I don’t want no other love
Baby, it’s just you I’m thinking of

Don’t stop thinking of me
Don’t make me feel this way
Come on over here and love me
You know what I want you to say
Don’t be cruel to a heart that’s true
Why should we be apart?
I really love you, baby, cross my heart

Let’s walk up to the preacher
And let us say, “I do,”
Then you’ll know you’ll have me
And I’ll know that I’ll have you
Don’t be cruel to a heart that’s true
I don’t want no other love
Baby, it’s just you I’m thinking of

Don’t be cruel to a heart that’s true
Don’t be cruel to a heart that’s true
I don’t want no other love
Baby, it’s just you I’m thinking of

ELVIS PASSED AWAY 49 YEARS AGO TODAY.

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK (BONUS REPEAT FROM A FEW MONTHS AGO)

I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died

Just a country boy
That combed his hair
And he put on a shirt his mother made
And went on the air

And he shook it like a chorus girl
He shook it like a Harlem queen
He shook it like a midnight rambler, baby
Like you never seen

I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died

How he took it all
Out of black and white
Grabbed his wand in the other hand
And he held on tight

And he shook it like a hurricane
He shook it like to make it break
And he shook it like a holy roller, baby
With his soul at stake, his soul at stake

I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died

He was all alone
In a long decline
Thinking how happy John Henry was
That he fell down and died

When he shook it and it rang like silver
He shook it and it shined like gold
He shook it and he beat that steam drill, baby
Well, bless my soul, bless my soul

I was thinking that night about Elvis

( Elvis Presley Blues by Gillian Welch )
