THE BIG PICTURE

America Is Already Great; Its Leadership Class Is Not – ” America and its hard-working people are already great, and never stopped being great. They don’t need to be “made great again.” America’s self-serving Leadership Class–those in power–has failed the nation and its people.” – Charles Hugh Smith

Is the Birth Certificate a Tool for Control? – “Separating Fact from Fiction Using History. What if this document, which every one of us receives automatically at birth, without consent, serves a function far beyond what we have been told? For years, many dismissed it as just another conspiracy theory, the idea that our birth certificates are more than just a record of our existence. The truth is, curious mind, birth certificates are part of a complex financial web that most people know nothing about.” – Jordan Nuttall  – HAD HEARD THIS A LONG TIME AGO, BUT JORDAN PROVIDES THE DOCUMENTATION!!

European Regimes Renew Their Attacks on Free Speech – “In Europe, the anonymity issue is no minor affair. In Germany, there are literal speech police who will arrest ordinary citizens merely for saying things online or reposting memes. It’s easy to see why anonymity could be an essential tool in posting ideas and facts the regime doesn’t like. A European regime insisting on abolishing online anonymity is essentially tantamount to announcing that these regimes want the ability to make more arrests for wrongspeech.” – Ryan McMaken

Nobody Voted For This – “Article I, Section 7 of the Constitution says all bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives. Toss that right in the sewer. The US Constitution is now little more than a rhetorical weapon for those not in power to use against those in power, while those in power ignore it. Four years later, reverse the parties, same crap. Despite the Constitution, the most reliable revenue source in modern America originates not in the House, but at the Federal Reserve. When it comes to the US dollar, inflation is not something that just happens. Officials at the Fed and the banks together choose to create inflation, and the US government politicians are thoroughly complicit. There are real people, making real decisions, who create inflation. Why would they do this? Because inflation is revenue for the government and the banks” – John Hunt, MD

Who let the dogs out? Ring knows. – “Ring’s new neighborhood network promises to reunite missing pets with their owners. Question is: what else are these owners signing up for?” – Collapse Life

Why are tech oligarchs silently prepping for ‘AI apocalypse’? – “Humanity is not ready for what’s coming. Checklist includes several weeks worth of cash, emergency communications, backup power and ‘weeks of food and water’” – Leo Hohmann

Was Burnham Appointed to Destroy Britain? – “”I have little doubt that it was behind the scenes machinations from the conspirators which resulted in the appointment of Andy Burnham as Prime Minister. And I fear that the people now pulling his strings have ordered him to destroy what is left of Britain. And he’s doing a good job.” – Dr Vernon Coleman

How to Win America’s Wars – “Don’t Fight Them to Begin With. Vietnam? Don’t fight there. Iraq and Afghanistan? Don’t fight there. Iran? Don’t fight there. None of these countries planned to attack or invade the United States. And please tell me how America’s “short” wars turned into long slogs. What is the Democratic Party going to do if it regains control of the Senate and House in November? What’s the agenda? With respect to the Iran war and the Israeli genocide in Gaza, there’s no promise of change. Democratic leaders like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are Zionists; they are also war-lovers. In fact, Schumer and Jeffries are perhaps more likely to see Russia and China as major threats than Trump is.” – Bill Astore

From France to Albania, social unrest is setting Europe’s streets ablaze – “Crowds have protested for weeks in major cities, with some demonstrations marked by arrests, looting, injuries and violence across France, Italy and Albania. In Spain and Portugal, tent camps have sprung up to protest unaffordable housing.” – Teresa Medrano and Suman Naishadham

Much Ado About Russia – ” In the eyes of national-security statists, it is imperative that we continue hewing to the official narrative. Russia is coming to get us, just like before. We need ever-increasing budgets for the national-security establishment and its ever-growing army of voracious fat-cat “defense” contractors. Who cares if the United States goes bankrupt in the process? We need to again be kept “safe” from the Reds — I mean, the Russians (and from the terrorists, Muslims, drug dealers, and illegals.) Oh, and don’t forget the Cuban Reds! They are coming to get us too.” – Jacob G. Hornberger

Iran Rejects Report That Deal Is ‘Close’ After Qatar, Pakistan Push ‘Compromise Proposal’ To End War – “Here we go again… By Tuesday morning, we have a return of another round of ‘deal imminent’-style headlines, which has gained more visibility over the last couple hours, resulting in oil prices tumbling:” – Tyler Durden

Vice President J.D. Vance’s Deceptive ‘Antiwar’ Campaign Speech – “J.D. Vance is approaching the halfway point of his term as vice president in an administration that has committed the United States to wars in locations from Ukraine to Venezuela to Somalia to Iran and beyond. All the while, the administration has threatened sending the military into other places across the world including Mexico, Greenland, and Cuba. In short, this presidential administration is fully committed to a warmongering agenda.Over his 14 years as a United States House of Representatives member, Mike Rogers similarly established his reputation as a committed advocate for US warmongering across the world. Given this context, it seems almost unimaginable that Vance would stump in Michigan for electing Rogers to the US Senate by asserting that Vance and Rogers are supporters of peace. Yet, that is what Vance did in a Monroe, Michigan speech on Thursday.” – Adam Dick

Amid ‘Compromise’ Chaos, Analyst Sees 90% Chance Of Iran War Round 3 As Hegseth Makes ‘Secretive’ Israel Visit – “The Monday surprise visit of US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to Israel where he met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has set off an avalanche of speculation regarding the likelihood of another major round of fighting in the Iran war. While the Pentagon did not immediately comment, Israeli media has also been reporting on the high profile visit to the airbase. The Trump administration has remained silent on the visit. But what has taken over by Tuesday morning are more ‘deal imminent’-style headlines, coming out of Gulf-aligned sources:” – Tyler Durden

Five Observations About Netanyahu’s Regional Alliance Map – “The top takeaway is the innuendo that the Sudanese War has become an Israeli-Egyptian proxy war. Netanyahu displayed a map of three regional alliances during a press conference over the weekend that’s since gone viral on social media due to its implications.” – Andrew Korybko

Trump Unveils $8 Billion Harvest Fuel Relief Program to Support Farmers – “The president made the announcement during a campaign stop near Wichita, Kansas.” – Travis Gillmore

Disarming the Pencil Pushers? Administrative Agencies Begin to Cut Spending on Guns, Ammo – “One would expect federal law enforcement agencies like the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Secret Service, Customs and Border Protection and Drug Enforcement Administration to have guns to carry out their daily responsibilities. But what about the administrative agencies like the Internal Revenue Service, Social Security Administration and Small Business Administration? These and dozens more pencil-pushing federal agencies have spent millions on guns, ammunition and other military-style equipment.” – OpenTheBooks  – THEY SHOULD BE CUTTING SPENDING. THERE’S NO NEED FOR MANY OF THESE AGENCIES TO EVEN HAVE WEAPONS. BUT HEAVEN FORBID IF YOU HAVE ONE LEGALLY, THOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alberta rejects move toward independence from Canada in a victory for Carney – “The vote was not a direct referendum on independence but would have set the oil-rich province on a path toward a future vote on separation from Canada.” – Rob Gillies

How Trump Plans to Steal the Midterm Elections (VIDEO) – “The Trump administration has not succeeded n implementing all its election demands, but it has not abandoned the possibility of declaring emergency powers or martial law to order federal agents to confiscate election materials and ballots. he Trump administration has already seized ballots from previous elections.” – Chris Hedges

US pending home sales tumble to record low in September – “Contracts to purchase previously owned US homes plunged ‌to a record low in ‌September as rising mortgage rates depressed demand for housing. The ​pending home sales index tumbled 7.3% to 66.0 last month, the lowest level since the series started in 2001, ‌the National Association ⁠of Realtors said on Tuesday.” – Reuters

Lessons were learned and measures have been taken to make sure something like that never happens again – right? So you’d think, but there’s a reason why we’re bringing up the GFC and it most certainly isn’t good. Many parallels can be drawn between where said market stands right now and the factors leading to the housing crash nearly two decades ago, which is rather concerning to say the least.” – Silvian Secara

U.S. Treasury, Bank of Japan, and Gold Prices – “At the G20 meeting in late August, an official statement was made that “coordination on shared macroeconomic policies” was needed between the U.S. Department of Treasury and the Bank of Japan.

Living a Principled Life in an Age of Compromise – “In the next few years, as our society and economy deteriorate, as CBDCs are rolled out, and as surveillance and control increases we will very likely be faced with some tough decisions. Up until now, participation in The System has largely been optional, Beyond externally-imposed restrictions and mandates, there are still plenty of choices that are up to us, if we are willing to budget ourselves and forego the consumer lifestyle and some creature comforts.” – James Wesley Rawles  – VERY GOOD READ FROM JAMES!!!!!!!!!

27 “Non-Perishable Foods” That Will Actually Spoil in Under 2 Years – “There was a time when a farmhouse cellar held rows of jars, each marked in pencil with the month it was put up. The family ate the oldest jars first, every single time, and nothing on those shelves sat long enough to go bad. Somewhere along the way, folks traded that habit for a printed date on a cardboard box, and we’ve gotten soft about it.” – Olivia Brooks

Can You Find Your Cache Again? – “A wilderness supply cache can reduce the load carried between a home, retreat or outpost. It can provide a reserve if equipment is lost or a camp becomes inaccessible. But concealment is only one part of the job. A dependable cache must survive storage, remain reachable and be recoverable by someone who may be cold, tired and working from written instructions. That takes more planning than burying a bucket and saving a waypoint.” – denob

VERSES FOR THE DAY

Revelation 18:2-3     And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.  For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

THE BIG PICTURE

Watching the Watchers! – “A guy named Anthony Sistilli decided to make some sauce for the gander, so to speak. He built his own iteration on the Flock/Axon cameras that the watchers are using to watch us only these cameras watch the watchers. You’d think they wouldn’t mind. After all, if they’ve got nothing to hide . . . Of course, the watchers – law enforcement, as they accurately like to style themselves – did not like it. They paid a visit to Sistilli’s home to make that plain. “We just want to ask you what the main goal is,” one of the watchers asks. “What (do) you plan to do with all of that”? When we – the watched – ask the same question, the watchers invariably say it’s all about keep us “safe.” Of course, it’s actually about keeping us watched.” – Eric Peters

The Great Unraveling Has Begun – “The Reset is Beneath the Rubble. What we are living through is not a collection of separate accidents, bad luck, or ordinary government incompetence. This is not just another great Boom and Bust cycle, rather something uniquely different. The systems that modern life depends on—money, energy, food, and the ability of nations to make their own decisions—are being deliberately weakened at the same time. This coordinated removal of the supports that hold civilization up is akin to global rug pull.” – The Do Not Comply Guy⁠

NEWS

Intifada for All – “Looks like the punishments will continue across the pond until morale improves. France on fire in the “mostly peaceful” riots — according to the BBC — this past weekend could yet ignite a final, furious, Globalist-Jacobin bid to wreck Western Civ as populist nationalism looms ever larger to defeat them. That is, whatever the demonic coalition of desperate Euro elites backed by the Soros NGO empire, the WEF, the UN bureaucracy, possibly the British Crown, and the EU, can induce their Lefty-left useful idiots to act out intifada-style against the people and their culture. President Macron stepped up Sunday to ask, “How can French people do this to France?” as the ancient tower of the Limoges city hall collapsed in flames. Somebody please inform him that the parties responsible for all the fiery chaos are not necessarily French people.” – James Howard Kunstler

French Bonds, Stocks Drop As Far-Left, Migrant Riots Worsen; Macron Fails To Restore Order – “President Emmanuel Macron conveniently blamed high gas prices, while lefty corporate media ran cover and really tried to reinforce the narrative (again) that these rioters were merely youth-led protesters. CBS News got caught calling riots “scuffles” and subsequently deleted the X post. In reality, France and much of Europe are being attacked from within by far-left groups, and this is really embarrassing, as globalist leaders in the failing bloc have allowed left-wing extremism to fester for years.” -Tyler Durden

Trump Administration Runs Third-Largest Federal Budget Deficit in History – “You can add spending cuts, DOGE, and fixing the budget with tariffs to the mountain of broken promises dominating the Washington, D.C. skyline. The Trump administration just ran the biggest budget deficit in five years.” – Mike Maharrey  – TOUCHED ON THIS BRIEFLY ON FRIDAY. HERE’S A COUPLE WITH A LITTLE MORE DEPTH!!!

The FY 2026 deficit was $2 trillion… and no one cares – “On Friday afternoon the Treasury Department released its final numbers for fiscal year 2026, which just ended on September 30, and the results are pretty much what you’d expect: horrible, appalling, inexcusable. And once again, mandatory spending— things like Social Security and Medicare— plus interest on the debt, exceeded 100% of tax revenue. In other words, they could have literally furloughed the entire US military, shut down the national parks, laid off the TSA, etc., and there still would have been a budget deficit. That’s just beyond pitiful. The saddest part is how few people take this seriously. Hardly anyone in Congress seems to care. No one on either side is jumping up and down and shouting from the rooftops that they have to cut this budget, and do it immediately.” – James Hickman (Simon Black)

The Katie Zacharia Saga & the Many Perils of the Press Secretary – “Goodbye Katie, we hardly knew ye. Blonde and beautiful may get you in the door, but once you’re there, you need to do the job. Zacharia’s first presser with the angry mob known as the White House Press Corps didn’t go well.” – Leesa K. Donner

Canada’s Carney accuses the U.S. of trying to break his country up – “A pathetic, thin-skinned, globalist clown blames all of his country’s troubles on Trump instead of on his Liberal Party policies of the past 13 years.” – Eric Utter

Albertans vote on path to independence as Carney fights to keep Canada united – “Monday’s vote is not a direct referendum on independence. Alberta, home to most of Canada’s proven oil reserves — the fourth largest in the world — will decide whether to remain a province or begin the legal process toward a future referendum on separation. More than 1.35 million Albertans, or 43% of eligible voters, cast advance or special ballots ahead of the referendum, far exceeding the 810,000 who voted early in the 2023 provincial election.” – Rob Gillies

Britain is Accelerating Towards Crisis – “Despite admitting mass immigration is damaging the country, the ruling classes fail to secure the border while clamping down on dissent.” – David Betz and Michael Rainsborough.

Israel-Backed Palestinian Militias Terrorize Displaced Families in Gaza – “Over the past year, attacks by Israel-backed Palestinian militias have become increasingly frequent in Gaza, particularly targeting Palestinians living close to the ever expanding “yellow line.”” – Abdel Qader Sabbah and Sharif Abdel Kouddous⁠

How the Ukraine War Started (as shown in two videos) – “First, Obama grabbed Ukraine’s government: Then he ordered his imposed government to exterminate (or else terrorize enough of the region’s non-nazis to flee into Russia) enough of the new government’s opponents so that the remaining voters under the U.S.-imposed new, neo-nazi, government would think acceptable to be supplied in their ‘democratic’ elections ONLY pro-nazis (pro-U.S.-regime, Russia-hating, candidates) as being the new Ukraine’s political candidates: That’s how it started — NOT on 24 February 2022 such as the U.S. regime says, but in 2014, when the U.S. regime grabbed Ukraine because it is the only country whose border is only 300 miles away from The Kremlin.” – Eric Zuesse

Putin Proposes Summit With Trump And Xi To Negotiate End Of Ukraine War; Zelensky Not Invited – “Amid an escalating war that appears to get farther from any hope of a ceasefire, let alone peace, late on Sunday the WSJ reported that Vladimir Putin has proposed that he, President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping meet next month to talk about Ukraine in an attempt to negotiate an end to the four-year conflict that would favor Moscow.” – Tyler Durden

The Housing Market Is Not Returning to 2020 – “Fannie Mae has sharply raised its mortgage rate forecast for 2027, and the revision should put an end to the fantasy that Americans can simply wait another year for cheap money to return.

THE BIG PICTURE

We Are One Body In Christ – “We owe it to ourselves for this reason to take care how we speak to each other during any interaction. We cannot lift people up if our words are tearing them down. We cannot bear true witness if our words are false. Sadly, what we see all too often, both in social media and elsewhere, are people spewing angry, hateful, even vile words. What we see all too often are people spreading lies and slanders about each other. What we see all too often are people whose witness is the epitome of false witness, the polar opposite of true witness.” – Peter Nayland Kust

The World Is no Longer Made Up of Independent Nations as Globalization Is Sought – “It should be obvious by now that nations and countries worldwide are working together as one, even as they pretend to be enemies, which indicates that nefarious theatre is alive and present. If this could be known and accepted by large numbers of the sheep-like populace, attitudes would change, and physical defensive action would necessarily be forthcoming, but the near impossibility of convincing the herd of the truth is an enormous impediment to this knowledge becoming more universal.” – Gary D. Barnett

Who Are “the Jews”, According to the Bible? – “The Myth of a “Pure” Jewish Race. Today, many Christians, especially Evangelical Christians, believe in a pure Jewish race whose people are superior to other ethnic races. However, the historical facts prove otherwise. First, by the time Moses arrived on the scene and began the process of leading the Jews out of Egypt to become their own geo-political nation in the “Promised Land” as the nation of “Israel”, the Jews were already a mixed race of mostly Hebrews and Egyptians. The word “Jew” itself is taken from one of the 12 sons of Jacob, who was renamed to “Israel,” and that son was Judah. Judah became one of the “12 tribes of Israel”, and Jesus was born as a descendant of Judah. Therefore Abraham, the patriarch of the Jewish people, was not even Jewish himself, but a Hebrew.” – Brian Shilhavy

Looters of the World, Unite! – “The Republic burns as riots spread across Europe.. What began in France as a loosely organized student tantrum, where an entitled generation of loafers spit their pacifiers out of the oppressive confines of their UPPAbaby strollers, quickly morphed into a sweeping, multicultural fête, in which (mostly) left-wing agitators, lunatic Islamists, cosplaying communist radicals and other unlikely bedfellows gathered round to raze France’s fine cities to the ground.

Has France Fallen? Far-Left Rioters Torch Buildings, Loot Luxury Stores As Macron Loses Control – “France’s weeks-long social unrest appears to be intensifying this weekend, with footage circulating on X showing a clear escalation in violence by far-left radicals and a deterioration in public order. The sustained chaos is exposing the limits of President Emmanuel Macron’s rapid response and raising alarming questions about his government’s ability to contain the crisis.” – Tyler Durden

Rioters loot stores, set fires in central Milan during cost-of-living protest – “The march against wars and rising living costs began peacefully. But masked protesters threw stones, paving blocks and other objects at riot police and set fire to barricades made from bar tables. Images of the aftermath showed a severely damaged carabinieri car.” – AP

The most terrifying image out of France (and it’s not what you think it is) – “Whether the protests are as huge as X makes them seem or as contained as the MSM implies, this one picture warns of the coming conquest. An elderly couple stripped of everything, right in the middle of the street, left half-naked. As if the pillaged Rolexes, Vuitton, Hermès, Dior, Sephora weren’t enough for resale. The image that should be a wake-up call for the entire West. But stripping ordinary people of their clothes…that’s not mob madness. That is, instead, a very calculated act by which those in power ritually humiliate those whom they intend to destroy.” – Andrea Widburg

Seventeen Republican attorneys general have filed suit to stop it. They are right. The rest of the country should say so—and reject California’s attempt to impose its policies on everyone else. California and a handful of like-minded states have a playbook: Pass a rule at home. Make compliance a condition of doing business. Watch national supply chains conform because it is cheaper to surrender than to maintain two systems. Then call the result “progress” and dare anyone to object. That is not federalism. It is the big dog sitting on the porch, growling at every other house on the street.” – Curtis Hill

Gold & Silver: Ugly Week, Bigger Opportunity? – “let’s look at the markets. Gold fell sharply earlier this week, dropping toward $4,080 an ounce on Wednesday before staging a rebound Thursday. Silver’s losses were considerably more severe. The white metal plunged more than 6% Wednesday, falling to around $55.50 an ounce, before recovering somewhat on Thursday. For investors who watched silver trade above $100 earlier this year, seeing it struggle to hold the upper $50s is a bitter pill to swallow. But that’s silver. When it moves, it rarely does so gently. And the same volatility that makes silver’s advances so spectacular can make its corrections downright painful. The immediate culprit behind this week’s selloff was another round of troubling inflation news.” – Money Metals

The Precious Metals Mania Is Still Ahead – “The naysayers say the precious metals bull market is over, but the lack of a true mania in early 2026 tells a very different story.. Since the precious metals correction began in January 2026, a growing number of investors and commentators have concluded that the January peak marked the final mania and top of the 2020s precious metals bull market, much like the peaks of 1980 and 2011. They believe the bull market is now officially over and that precious metals face at least a decade-long bear market. However, I have been one of the few voices adamantly arguing otherwise: ” – Jesse Colombo  – PARTIAL ARTICLE FROM JESSE, BUT YOU GET THE IDEA!!!

How Google Maps Became a Weapon for Looters – “The satellite photo shows what you’ve got, but Street View shows how well you guard it. From the curb, a stranger can count your cameras and check whether the side gate has a lock on it.

PRG: Population Replacement Genocide – “Some folks shy away from using “the G word,” genocide. I do not. When the replacement population has three or four times the number of children per woman as the native population, the extinction of the native people is assured in a few generations. This is especially true when sold-out traitor politicians favor the replacements over the natives for housing assistance, welfare payments, medical treatment, college entrance and job placement.” – Matt Bracken⁠

Everything Is Russia’s Fault (Even Global Warming!) – “Globalists see ‘Russian disinformation’ everywhere! In the old days (which, in the age of social media, were only ten years or so ago), every problem in the world was blamed on “global warming.” Since 2016, a new scapegoat — I mean, fact-based and expertly diagnosed cause — for all the world’s problems has been hogging global warming’s spotlight: Russia, Russia, Russia. Read something that you don’t like? That’s gotta be Russian disinformation. The “wrong” candidate wins an election? Never would have happened without Russian social media bots! Energy prices are too low? That’s because of cheap Russian oil and gas. Energy prices are too high? That’s because Russia — and definitely not Ukraine! — blew up its own Nord Stream pipelines delivering inexpensive energy to Europe. ” – J.B. Shurk

Yellow Vests Return As French Protests Spread And Macron’s Crisis Deepens – “Pay attention to France’s five-year sovereign credit default swap. Remnants of the original Yellow Vests (Gilets Jaunes) movement are joining the ongoing far-left riots/protests, potentially broadening social instability and increasing pressure on President Emmanuel Macron as he approaches the end of his term in crisis. France’s political, social and fiscal pressures are increasingly reinforcing one another, with high borrowing costs making its expansive welfare state harder to finance.” – Tyler Durden

After Brutal Hannity Interview, Katie Zacharia Sets Record For Fastest-Fired Trump Official – “Scaramucci unseated!” – Tyler Durden

Omar, Obama, And The Danger Of False Identities – “Be on the lookout for John Brennan. Unless and until Representative Omar is actually indicted, the public will have to wait to read about the particular facts of her case. It is worth noting, however, that numerous allegations have swirled around the congresswoman for years. Perhaps we will learn whether these allegations have merit in the months ahead. What I do know is that this inquiry is long overdue. The appearance of impropriety has followed Representative Omar even before she joined Congress in 2019. Allegations of immigration fraud have been loud — including the unsavory claim that she married her brother — yet neither congressional leaders nor federal officials have been inclined to investigate the matter more fully until now.” – J.B. Shurk

Things Just Got Even Hotter: Report Omar’s Sister’s Phone Was Seized, Revealed Text Messages – “It’s getting pretty serious with the investigations into Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-05). We’ve reported that at least two investigations are ongoing: one involving immigration questions and another involving financial disclosures. Now there are new reports that what’s being looked into may be even broader than people generally believe” – Nick Arama

Starlink Fiasco Heats Up as Zelensky Begs for Billions From Politically Pooped Europe – Zelensky wants Starlink privileges up to 300 kilometers deep into Russia in exchange for cessation of strikes against Russian energy assets for up to three months: After hearing Zelensky’s initial argument, why would Trump be convinced to take this latest horse trade? It’s a reflection on the hypocritical and unprincipled double dealing political games that Zelensky now relies on as leverage to save himself from the fire. What’s revealing is how Western media accomplices attempt to play the same sleezy game in a bid to save their chosen globalist puppet. Nervous EU leaders have picked up on Zelensky’s latest rashness and have urged him to pipe down before Trump does something truly game-changing to Ukraine:” – Simplicius

Iran, a coiled cobra ready to strike – “Let’s get right into the heart of the matter: carefully examining the chessboard, the political and military leadership in Tehran has already reached the conclusion that a joint U.S.-Israeli attack, with planning advancing at a feverish pace, is inevitable. So they are now positioned themselves as a coiled cobra, ready to strike and inject deadly venom at the first whiff of an imminent Epstein Syndicate threat – even without waiting for an actual attack. The preemption drive, already delineated, will be devastating, extending beyond U.S. bases in West Asia to other regional targets, and potentially including Gulf energy infrastructure and undersea cables (in this case mostly affecting the Gulf and India, much more than the U.S. and Europe). We are into clear and present danger territory: a U.S.-Israeli military movement intended as pressure certainly will be interpreted in Tehran as the opening of an attack.” – Pepe Escobar

The Likeliest Way that World War Three Will Result- “The likeliest pathway to World War Three is through a place that’s shown empty on the U.S. empire’s maps of Europe, not even identified at all on most of them, much less indicated by them to be a province of Russia — which it actually is: Russia’s province of Kaliningrad, it’s on the Baltic Sea, sandwiched between Poland and Lithuania. The U.S. empire wants the public not to know about it until this Russian province, which is a blank space on most maps of Europe, becomes conquered by NATO — which has a plan for this purpose (to grab Kaliningrad for the U.S.).” – Eric Zuesse

Two More Tankers Hit Off Saudi Coast As Brent Tops $110 – “Brent crude topped $110 a barrel to end the week for the first time since May as drone and missile attacks on energy infrastructure, from the Gulf to the war in Ukraine, cast a very dark cloud over oil and products market ahead of the Northern Hemisphere winter.” – Tyler Durden

ECONOMIC NEWS 

Two Decades Of Mass Financial Delusion Ends Now – “The financial excess is staggering. The psychological fallout from unwinding it could be even worse. Friday’s selloff was not a surprise. Between deteriorating credit markets, rising Treasury yields, increasingly absurd artificial intelligence valuations, enormous amounts of leverage and an entire financial system that has spent the better part of two decades mainlining cheap money like a frat guy guzzling Jaegermeister at the bottom of an ice luge, the warning signs have been flashing for quite some time.” – Quoth the Raven

Big Tech’s Great Financial Gamble – “Where is the AI boom going? Is it taking us to a place of economic and financial nirvana? Or are we on the road to catastrophe? These are the type of important, fundamental questions the rapid AI buildout can provoke. The answers, however, can only be known after the fact. In the meantime, what is known is that building, training, and deploying AI models requires physical infrastructure at a massive scale.’ – MN Gordon

Bessent, Shelton, China, Gold & Inflation– (VIDEO) with Bill Holter – “President Trump said the quiet part out loud when he said earlier this month, ‘Certain levels of inflation will also pay off that debt very rapidly. Very rapidly.’ The whole idea is if you create inflation, you are cheapening the currency. If you create enough inflation, you can cheapen the currency to what I call ‘monkey money.’ You can turn the currency into monkey money, and it makes debt very easy to pay off. I think that’s what the strategy is. China just purchased more gold in September than any prior month. I think they are on 63 or 68 straight months of purchasing gold. They are liquidating Treasuries and using that capital to buy gold.” – Greg Hunter  – BILL IS ALWAYS INTERESTING!!!!!!!!!

Oil Is $136 on the Ground. Why Does Wall Street Say $95? (VIDEO) – “North Sea oil trades at spot for $136 a barrel. The futures market has it in the $90s. Doug points out that the distillates from a $100 barrel now add up to about $200, “and that’s what really counts.” To me that gap says something serious is changing. We’re in a Fourth Turning, people are losing faith in institutions, and markets are an institution too.” – Matt Smith and Doug Casey

Most recently, on October 14, the bill passed out of two Senate commissions and now awaits a full Senate vote in the coming weeks. The bill is part of an ongoing effort by the Sheinbaum government and the Morena party to expand the digitization of Mexico’s economy. It instructs Mexico’s Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP) to designate which business sectors will eventually only accept digital and electronic forms of payment.” – Derrick Broze

What Comes After the Blue Douching? – “Unless the polls are entirely wrong – and unless the situation with regard to gas/diesel prices changes dramatically in a favorable direction very soon – it seems as certain as the fall transitioning to winter that the blues are going to hose the reds in the midterms. The question arises: What will come the day after, assuming a blue hosing out of the reds? Well, nothing – at first – because it won’t be until January that the resurgent blues get their hands on the power they crave. In the meanwhile, we can expect Trump to go full shambolic – because he knows that come January, he will no longer have the congressional buffer he has enjoyed up to now.” – Eric Peters

Hitler’s Hubris Is Trump’s Hubris – “I want to dig into how Trump’s political misadventures translate into the US economy—and root out a commonality in the hubris of Trump and Hitler. The result of a Blue Wave will amount to more harassment of Trump via committee investigations/resolutions. Ultimately pointless. State and local elections in November are something else. They matter. Stocking up on silver, gold and lead.’ I agree with the stocking-up on gold and silver. Are we at a price bottom today? It doesn’t matter. What are you going to do, sell your gold for dollars? Then what? The reasons we got into gold and silver are more intact than ever. But what about silver down from $120 to almost $50? Should we buy into that? Maybe we’d rather buy into Trump’s coming dollar collapse?” – Erik@neverhadaboss.com

Things Have Changed – “I remind you once again: history is a trickster. Sometimes things turn out, and sometimes they just turn, and these days they’re turning hard. Get this: Russia is not our mortal enemy anymore. No more sacrificing everyone’s happiness to prove Karl Marx’s cockamamie theories. No more trying to foist all that on the rest of the world. Russia gave up on that project and opted to become a normal nation, with the full kit of normality: commerce, shopping, banks, enterprise. Things have changed. Things have gotten strange, too.Europe has become something of adversary, if not exactly our enemy, yet. Europe has lost its mind. Now, it is Europe’s turn to destroy itself in pursuit of idiotic theories — such as: nations don’t matter. . . you can have a high standard of living without productive industry. . . carbon is destroying the world.” – James Howard Kunstler

Why Trump Nixed Execution Livestream – “The news media is framing Trump’s decision to cancel the livestream of Nidal Hasan’s execution as a Washington story of pure palace intrigue — Trump versus Hegseth. First, the decision was never Hegseth’s to make; Trump’s reversal is the result of people power, with an overwhelming majority of Americans — including his own supporters — opposed to the grotesque spectacle worthy of ancient Rome. Yet instead of a story about ordinary Americans standing up to the most powerful leader on earth and winning, headline after headline frames it as a Washington drama, Consciously or not, they turn what is basically a story about people power into just another Trump fuck-up.” – Ken Klippenstein

Trump the Traitor – “Trump turns on Ukraine and President Z. just to take blame off himself during election season as he represents himself as having godlike chosen status as savior of the world who will never abandon us.” – David Haggith

He looks like he’s ready to have a heart attack. If he did, my doctors would leave him alone.” MAGA, whatever is left of it, just can’t seem to get it that Trump could absolutely care less about them, and thinks his own support base are the dumbest, most willfully ignorant people around.” – The WinePress

Washington Wants You Using Trump Coins to Annoy the Left – “People say that POTUS is a raging narcissist for slapping his name or face onto anything that stands still long enough. And clearly there’s at least a little ego involved in the need to embroider everything from passports and perfume to savings bonds and Bibles with the DJT monogram. But more and more, I’m convinced that’s just how the man trolls. Take the brand new Trump dollar coin.

Another Mass Shooter Stopped By Armed Citizen In Oregon – “Three children and one adult are dead following an active shooter situation at Silver Rail Elementary in Bend, Oregon on Thursday afternoon. The suspected active shooter is also dead after an armed civilian chased the shooter into the school and killed him. The shooter was reportedly a 16-year-old boy, though no details on identity or motive have been releases yet. While the identity of the shooter is still under wraps, commenters are already suggesting that the attack might be yet another case of a transgender lunatic on a rampage. It should be noted that the state of Oregon has one of the highest rates of teens and children undergoing transgender treatments in the US. Around 20% of US counties account for 90% of all homicides in the country. Of these counties, the vast majority are controlled by Democrats. In other words, the counties with the most aggressive gun control advocates and laws in the US are also the places with the most gun violence. ” – Tyler Durden

The Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar is the largest in the Middle East. Built in 1996, it served as an assurance and insurance against enemies. In return for Qatar’s largess investments in the US, the base kept Qatar safe. Until it didn’t. Instead, Al Udeid made Qatar a target, and that targeting has liquified their source of revenue, Oil & LNG.17% of Qatar’s LNG capacity has been obliterated.

September PPI: Inflation Will Keep Rising – “Oilpocalypse Contagion Confirms We Are Heading Towards The Worst Case Scenario” – Peter Nayland Kust

The Donald’s Great Big Not Very Beautiful FAFO – “When it rains inflation, it apparently pours it, too. The September PPI came in this AM and it was sporting a whopping 15.6% annualized increase in the PPI. Yes, that was allegedly due to more mullah-madness from the Persian Gulf, driving oil and gas pump prices sky-high. And, if you like, it’s all because the Iranians are obstinate in a manner apparently similar to the German tribes of the black forests in 180 AD. In the opening scene of Gladiator the Roman centurion Quintus thus memorably observed, “A people should know when they are conquered”. Apparently, however, the Iranians don’t know, either.” – David Stockman

On October 8, National Audit Office president Juan Manuel Olmos confirmed that Argentina’s Central Bank lost $1.023 billion in gold reserves through operations that moved physical gold out of the country without the public’s consent.” – The Grayzone

Europe Is Falling: Riots Spread From France And Belgium To Albania – Tyler Durden

Ukraine abandons truce and attacks Russian oil refinery as Zelenskyy says he feels betrayed by Trump – “Despite going along with Trump’s demand for a truce, Zelenskyy complained, Ukraine in recent days was denied the usual Western intelligence on Russian ballistic missile strikes, and limits were placed on its use of U.S.-made Starlink communication terminals. Both are vital for the Ukrainian military. He said his patience had run out, telling the Financial Times in an interview published Thursday that Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries would resume. “We’re done,” Zelenskyy was quoted as saying.” – Susie Blann

Putin Might Accept Trump’s Reported Peace Plan – “It represents a pragmatic balance of interests between all sides.” – Andrew Korybko

Panic in Kiev as AFU’s Starlink “Mysteriously” Throttled One Day After Intelligence Blackout – “A day after Zelensky accused the US of cutting “intelligence support” and not providing early warning against Russia’s ballistic missile strikes on Kiev, pandemonium has ensued in Ukraine. Now the country’s leadership has accused the US of cutting its Starlink support as well.” – Simplicius

Russian Gold Is Flowing Through Hong Kong – “Hong Kong has taken several steps to elevate its status as a global gold hub this year, including the launch of a gold clearing and settlement system that mirrors the London Bullion Market Association. But to be a gold hub, you need a lot of gold. Hong Kong is getting plenty of the metal from Russia. Hong Kong has become a conduit for Russian gold as sanctions have cut off Russia’s access to Western financial markets. Russia’s recent selling reveals just why central banks hold gold. It serves as a long-term reserve free from counterparty risk. And because its value is recognized globally, it can serve as an emergency fund – even if you’ve been locked out of the global dollar-dominated financial system.” – Mike Maharrey

The Fed vs. the Bond Market – “The economy is bound to eventually reach a point where it can no longer tolerate the interest rates required to keep inflation and debt under control, and some of the loudest warnings are coming from the bond market. The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield recently climbed above 5.3%, reaching levels not seen since 2002. Even more striking, this surge occurred as evidence was building up of a weakening labor market, not because investors suddenly became convinced that the American economy was entering a new era of extraordinary real growth.” – Peter Schiff

Silver has taken another beating, falling to approximately $55 an ounce, and the usual suspects are already declaring the bull market dead. We’ve heard that before.

IMAGES FOR THE DAY (ONE NEW AND ONE OLD)

THE BIG PICTURE

The Stupidity of the Masses and Voluntary Acceptance of Illegitimate ‘Authority’ – “I am often asked why ‘we’ are in this insane mess, why is everything breaking down, why is morality a lost cause, why is there so much division and hate, why is there so much violence and war, why is globalism imminent, why-why-why? In order for rulers to rule, in order for the few to control the many, society as a whole must be made to feel subordinate to selected ‘leaders’ and experts as defined by those same so-called ‘leaders’ and experts; which includes the governing system of technocratic authoritarians posing as ‘gods’ among men.” – Gary D. Barnett

Religion: A Tool For Control? – “When Doctrine and Dogma Sculpt the Mind” – Jordan Nuttall

Farmers Furious as USDA Raises Corn Yield (VIDEO) – “Kicking the Can on the Food Crisis… USDA just dropped its latest corn numbers, and prices fell right away. Questions (and anger) from farmers and analysts rose just as quickly.”- UNSHADOWED (formerly known as Ice Age Farmer)

Congo’s confirmed Ebola cases exceed 9,000 as containment efforts falter – “Confirmed cases in Congo’s Ebola outbreak have surpassed 9,000, with more than 4,300 deaths, as health authorities struggle to contain an outbreak spreading across seven provinces, according to government figures released Tuesday. Efforts to contain the virus have been impaired by several factors, The outbreak has surpassed Congo’s 16 previous outbreaks in scale and is on track to top the 2014-2016 West Africa regional outbreak that killed 11,000 people.” – AP

Don’t let AI do the thinking for us – “I use artificial intelligence quite a bit. I have concerns regarding it, but it’s a handy research tool and personal assistant. Yet, as a writer, I don’t use AI in anything I write. That’s a line that I will never cross, not because I’m somehow more pure than others, but because I know that with my inherent laziness, I’d be the guy who would eventually just let AI do the work while I make the money.” – Tom Knighton

Iowa City Council Opens Meeting With Satanic Prayer – “A city council meeting in Iowa took a dark turn earlier this week when a former member opened the meeting by praising Satan in his invocation. Onetime Ottumwa City Council member Matt Dalbey began the meeting by praying to the “dark father” to “embrace the Luciferian impulse to eat from the tree of knowledge” before concluding his prayer with “Hail Satan.” ” – Lee Weeks  – VIDEO BELOW!!

3D-Printed Fake Meat and Fish Have Officially Entered American Grocery Stores Without Clear Labeling – “Israeli company Steakholder Foods is rolling out artificial steaks, chicken, and fish under its PERFECTA brand—with NO mention of 3D-printing on the packaging. Its plant-based steak formulation contains soy flour, rapeseed oil, modified starch, methylcellulose, xanthan gum, locust bean gum, and artificial meat coloring designed to imitate the appearance of beef. These are not ingredients I would put in my body. One thing is for sure, I will NOT be purchasing this 3D-printed slop.” – Nicolas Hulscher, MPH  – COMING TO A WALMART NEAR YOU!!!!

ATF Director Denies Existence of Gun Registry, Warns That Future Admins Could Develop One – “Gun Owners of America and members of Congress want gun transaction records destroyed to eliminate even the possibility of a registry. In 2021, the gun-rights advocacy group revealed an ATF internal document that showed the Biden administration had processed and digitized more than 50 million “out of business” records from Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) that had closed.” – Michael Clements

NEWS

The Folly Of Trump-O-Nomics—-Hiding Behind A Chicken Shit Raid On Rep. Ilhan Omar – “The Trumpified GOP has been reduced to a shrill pack of political hyenas. Having abandoned the Old Time GOP Religion of balanced budgets, small government, fiscal rectitude, sound money and free markets, the only “issue” it had left was the claim that America was heading for disaster owing to an alleged “invasion” of brown-colored poor people from south of the border. And, worse still, that the endlessly prevaricating gas-bag and bellicose grand-stander domiciled in the Oval Office has now heroically turned the tide. Well, no, as we demonstrate below.” – David Stockman

The History of Western Civilization According to Mike Huckabee – “Western Civilization began in ancient Greece and continued for centuries in the Roman Empire, and neither were Christian. The nonstop pronouncements of idiocy coming out of the Trump administration are nothing short of astonishing. The latest example arrives from Trump’s ambassador to Israel, or maybe that should be Israel’s ambassador to the United States. “If there hadn’t been a Judeo-Christian foundation, Western civilization would never have existed,” said Mike, who apparently missed every history class in high school.” – Kurt Nimmo

Is Rep. Ilhan Omar a U.S. citizen? – “So, not Somali-American anymore, just Somali? Is there a non-U.S. citizen occupying a seat representing U.S. citizens in the U.S. Congress?

Well, Barack Obama his own self will lend credence to my thinking by campaigning with El-Sayed on October 24. Michigan, get ready for a big dose of the new and improved.

Trump’s Diesel Deal Is a Drop in a $200 Barrel – “How diesel got there, and why Russia’s barrels won’t bring it back down” -. Lau Vegys

Ilhan Omar’s Staff Scrambled To Change Her Birth Year Days After Fraud Allegations Emerged – “One day after federal agents raided Ilhan Omar’s Washington home, we lear that her congressional staff got her birth year changed in Minnesota’s official legislative records in May 2019, moving it from 1981 to 1982 – months after she was sworn into Congress. Omar has said she derived citizenship through her father, Nur Omar Mohamed, when he naturalized in 2000, and the law then required the child to be under 18 when the parent naturalized. Born in 1981, she’d have been an adult all of 2000 – the year she says she became a citizen at 17,” – Tyler Durden

What is Greta up to at the French school riots? – “The pint-sized professional protester has become the patron saint of the omnicause. The ‘omnicause’ is often loosely defined as the animating spirit of woke activism. It is ‘Free Palestine’, the ‘climate emergency’, ‘trans rights’ and Black Lives Matter rolled into a single, unified moral crusade. If it has a face, then it’s surely that of the perennial protester Greta Thunberg, who has now lent her star power to the student rioters in France.” – Hugo Timms

Pope Leo XIV Diagnosed With Cancer as Doctors Remove Part of His Lung – “Doctors diagnosed him with ‘lung adenocarcinoma,’ a common type of non-small cell lung cancer.” – Jill McLaughlin

Why Would Russia Want to Invade Europe? – “There is no reason for Russia to invade Europe. They are no longer communist. This is all being driven by political posturing, because the EU is collapsing and they need an external enemy, and Russia is the best enemy money can buy. There is ZERO sound strategic calculation.” – Martin Armstrong

The EU-NATO Establishment Is Waging A Hybrid War Against Europe – “The (fake) elite which currently leads in many European countries as well as the European Union in Brussels is determined to wage a war against Russia. Unfortunately for them the people they rule over have no interest in that. The leaders are waging a massive propaganda campaign to change their minds. They are following a line set by Hillary Clinton who, after losing the 2016 presidential election to Donald Trump, blamed Russia for interfering with it. Accusations against Russia of interfering with elections elsewhere have since been repeated many times. The claim of ‘Russian bots’ waging ‘Russian influence’ is trotted out whenever populist outsiders manage to win.” – Moon of Alabama

Zelensky Claims US Intel Cut Off as “Undetectable” Russian Missiles Bombard Kiev – “Last night Russia struck Kiev with a series of what is claimed to be ballistic missiles.

Is There Any Way To Save Social Security, Or Is It Doomed? – “The young do not think about getting old, and this is to the greatest benefit of governments which spend and inflate younger generations out of any future subsidies they might one day come to rely on. For most people in Gen Z, though, there is at least a tacit acknowledgment that they are paying into a system that might not be there for them when they retire. However, their only point of reference is usually the rantings of their socialist college professors or a mob of crazed activists on TikTok. So, naturally, the only solution they can come up with is MORE power for government, more taxation, more communism and more redistribution of wealth. In other words, give more control and more cash over to the state which already misspent their money.” – Brandon Smith

He is out on the street every single day, and he has now conducted over 10,000 interviews with homeless individuals across North America, and what he is hearing directly from people living on the street is often completely different from what policymakers and advocates are telling the public. One of the biggest things Kevin pointed out, and the thing that really stuck with me, is that there is almost no actual outreach happening. Nobody is out there talking to people on the street, finding out what they actually need, building relationships with them, until there is a medical crisis and EMS has to show up.” – Karla Treadway

Manufacturing the Six Million Narrative – “Discussing the Facts Surrounding the Holocaust. The figure of six million murdered Jews in the so-called Holocaust began as a Talmudic concept, dear reader, a religious metaphor for catastrophe, circulated for centuries without any factual basis. At the Nuremberg trials in 1945, this number was adopted as evidence, resting largely on what were essentially two hearsay witnesses, individuals whom even Adolf Eichmann’s own spokesperson dismissed as fantasists. Historians now acknowledge this figure was symbolic from the start, yet it still remains enforced as a fact.” – Jordan Nuttall

The Noahide Laws of The Torah Call All Christians Idolaters – “The Left vs Right. The Democrats vs Republicans. A Game of Thrones and Arrows. In psychology, blame is rooted in the Adam Syndrome of the Bible whereby Adam blamed Eve for his taking a bite of the proverbial apple. Why was he unable to act on his own wisdom? Did Eve coerce him? Did she threaten him? No. He simply needed to justify his actions and extinguish his own fault. This is America. This is Israel. This is Zionist Christianity. At the UN – Netanyahu was the epitome of take no responsibility for one’s actions and instead levy blame given 1 Israeli is worth 40,000 Americans. Applause. No one left in the Hall objected.

It’s Worse Than Just the Stupid Party – “I have always had an ambivalent relationship with “conservatives,” because I could never divine their principles. They want to “conserve” . . . what, exactly? Their congressional majority? Why? What for? How does that benefit me? The GOP has the principles of a small-time check kiter or used car salesman looking to make a quick score off a gullible mark. It can never win, much less accomplish anything meaningful (insofar as rolling back the tide of government) because that would be contrary to its interests, That is why the GOP is now a dead man walking, personified by the zig-zagging gait and leaning-forward penguin stance of the puffy-faced, swollen-ankled old man who is currently its podium-clutching, teeth-grinding front man. This rebuilding – if it is to happen – will require the one thing the GOP (and “conservatives”) have never had. That thing being principles” – Eric Peters

Fighting words and needed beatings – “A society without violence will soon need it, Violence serves a purpose and a morality.

The Bucks Stop Here – “Being the president is lucrative. Truman left office on a small Army pension and turned down corporate offers. He said he could never “lend myself to any transaction, however respectable,” that would commercialize the prestige and dignity of the presidency. Compare that to more modern presidents. Fortune put the Obamas’ net worth at $12.2 million when they left the White House. That’s pretty good for a community organizer, right? Most low-level law lecturers don’t earn that many bucks. Forbes put Obama near $70 million in 2024. Joe Biden spent thirty-six years in the Senate and eight as vice president on public salaries. He never created any new wealth. In the two years after leaving that office, he and his wife Jill reported $15.6 million in income. Donald Trump wins this contest hands down, as he usually does. Forbes put his net worth at $6.5 billion in March 2026, up $1.4 billion in a year.” – John Hunt, MD

Nobody Goes To War For The Rules-Based Order – “Borderless nations are easily conquered. Globalists speak of “multiculturalism” as if it were a virtue and equate Western civilization with “white supremacy,” “patriarchy,” and “imperialism.” They believe Christians should celebrate Islamic holidays. They believe national borders are “racist.” They believe that anybody who rejects globalism promotes “hate.” If everything is true, though, then nothing is true. If there are no borders, then there are no nations. If there are no nations, then national governments represent nobody. In other words, the globalist worldview is meaningless, contradictory, self-hating, and infuriating.” – J.B. Shurk

Oct. 7 Forever Marks The Big Reveal: ‘We See You, Israel, We Revile You, We Reject You!’ – “What Israel has done, is doing, to Gaza has not sprung ex nihilo from October 7. Genocide is not a situational counter-response to aggression. It’s a coming-out event of sorts. Differently put: There are no legitimate antecedents to genocide. Genocide is not a “war crime” to which a set of mitigating or exculpating legal defenses can attach. Genocide is a stand-alone indefensible crime—“the blackest of all crimes”—for which there are no extenuating circumstances and to which no traditional legal defenses attach.” – Ilana Mercer

KATIE ZACHARIA: THE PRESS SECRETARY WHO PASSED THE BAR IN CHINA – “Which state’s bar did you pass? Katie Zacharia, standing next to the President of the United States on her first full day at the podium, said she passed it when she “moved to China.”China is not a state. It’s a country. Specifically, it’s the country this administration has spent years calling the greatest existential threat America faces. Popular Information emailed the White House with detailed questions. Was she ever admitted to any bar, in any state, ever? The response, in full: “Refer you to the President’s TRUTH on Katie.” LMFAO. That’s the answer. A direct question about a professional license, answered with a link to a social media post where the President says she’s an attorney. Can’t make it up. When the official position on “does this credential exist” is “the boss says so,” you know you’re in for a real BS story…” – Sir Escanor (𝘏𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘶𝘮 𝘚𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘦𝘳)

This Socialist Revolution Brought to You by Billionaires – “Capitalism is evil. Its fundraising potential, however, is outstanding. For years, the progressive left has warned that the 1% are buying our elections, corrupting our democracy, and using their obscene wealth to drown out the voices of ordinary Americans. Their virtual protest signs read “Keep your billions out of our ballots!” Unless, you know, the billionaires are throwing serious cash at progressive candidates in a uniquely consequential midterm election.” – Jenna McCarthy

‘Our message is: Smash everything’ – Black Belgian student doesn’t even know why he’s protesting in revealing video – “The clip is being used as another piece of evidence that the protests are not really about reforms or improving education standards, but instead serve as a pretext for ethnic minorities to riot, destroy, and attack police. In a post from Belgian political activist Dries Van Langenhove, he writes about the video: “European people can’t comprehend this because we’re simply not the same. They destroy. It’s what they do. It’s who they are. Politicians now come up with all sorts of fake ‘solutions’: more money for education, more youth detention centres, military conscription, … but it’s all nonsense.

India Considering Digital Gold Regulations Including 1-to-1 Gold Backing – “The fact that this isn’t already a requirement should give you pause. With digital gold products, investors can buy and sell ownership of physical metal electronically. The digital gold provider stores physical gold in a vault on the owner’s behalf. You technically own the gold, but you don’t physically possess it. Digital gold allows quick transfers between accounts and facilitates fractional gold purchases. Some digital products allow investors to take physical possession of gold under certain circumstances. Others do not.  The downside is you don’t have physical possession of the metal, and there’s no guarantee the provider has all the gold either.” – Mike Maharrey

France Is Discovering That Creditors Have a Choice – “The politicians assume that because France has always been treated as a major European power, its debt will always receive favorable treatment. Why? A creditor is buying a claim on future payments, not a monument to the borrower’s prestige. Spain was once regarded as a threat to the monetary union. Now investors accept less interest to hold its debt than France’s.” – Martin Armstrong

Universal Healthcare in US Overruled By Big Pharma – “TED CRUZ is on the media interview path to implant his great wealth of knowledge as an attorney. Today, he was mocking blue states for not implementing universal healthcare unilaterally. Apparently, he is wholly unaware of the pitfalls: Of course, the original source of the Big Pharma protocol came from the Rockefeller Institute in 1911 wherein any doctor practicing natural therapies was widely demonized as a “QUACK”. And anyone ‘stupid enough’ to forego the Rockefeller subsequent plagues, pandemics and epidemics – was illiterate. Today, the US is the world’s largest user of Big Pharma. The Highest spender on Big Pharma. Big Pharma spending in the US is highest among diabetes, oncology, autoimmune, and respiratory diseases.” – Helena Glass

IDF Congressman Introduces Legislation to Strip Americans of Passports for Criticizing Israel – “Reminiscent of travel restrictions in the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, and apartheid South Africa. In the United States, following 9/11 and the so-called global war on terror, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced all domestic air travel would require either a traditional passport or a federally compliant ID card, known as “Real ID.” In essence, this imposed an internal passport system on American citizens. Former IDF “volunteer” Brian Mast’s resolution will extend travel restrictions to critics of Israel. Mast has called for “kicking terrorist sympathizers out of our country.” I was not able to find evidence that Rubio and the State Department will revoke the citizenship of Americans for criticizing Zionist genocide of Palestinians. However, revoking the right to travel by denying a passport for expressing a political opinion is not much different from what the Soviet Union did during the Cold War.” – Kurt Nimmo.

Body of Russian plague scientist, 28, requires metal coffin drowned in bleach – ‘The funeral of plague scientist Daria Shipilova, 28, remains a mystery as special precautions may need to be taken with her body.

NY AG Letitia James Files Lawsuit Against HHS Secretary Kennedy Over ‘Dangerous Vaccine Rollbacks’ – “Ever since the CDC, under RFK Jr.’s leadership, in December 2025 stopped “recommending” (a polite euphemism for “coercing”) hepatitis B vaccines to day-old infants, ostensibly in order to prevent a disease contracted almost exclusively through sexual intercourse and intravenous drug use, vaccine hype men like portly Peter Hotez have had their plus-sized knickers in a twist.Now, George Soros’ favorite DEI pet, New York Attorney General Letitia James — who has received at least $71,000 in direct Soros family bucks since 2019 and who is privileged to serve his globalist estate indoors, if you’ll pardon the uncouth metaphor — has announced a lawsuit against RFK Jr. over the aforementioned December 2025 adjustment to the CDC vaccine schedule.” – Ben Bartee

Russia, Satan, and the Parviscient Crowd – “Ten years ago I had lunch with a man who vehemently insisted that Vladimir Putin was the satanic leader of an evil country and Hilary Clinton was a great American who should be President. This was two years after the U.S. government under Barack Obama, Joseph Biden, Victoria Nuland, and the CIA had engineered a coup d’état in Ukraine as part of their proxy war against Russia, bringing Ukraine’s neo-Nazis into greater power. For years the U.S. had supported Ukraine’s killing of the Russian speaking peoples of eastern Ukraine, and finally, when Ukraine had amassed forces to invade the Donbas region, the Russian government had had enough and in February 2022 sent troops into the region to defend this area. Thus the hypocritical West played at outrage that what they had created was finally backfiring. Russia was cast as the guilty party for invading Ukraine. For many years, U.S./ NATO has moved military forces and bases into countries encircling Russia.” – Edward Curtin

Trump’s Tax Cuts Have Walked The USA Into Debt Trap – “The US economy looks rosy – if you are looking at the fantabulous promises of the Stock Market. The reality is very different. The scale of the $40 trillion National Debt is a problem that will not just go away and puts substantial limits on how the US can respond to any new economic or conflict crisis without risking massive inflation. Underlying the scale of the debt is not just poor spending decisions, but tax cuts that have accelerated the debt crisis.” – Bill Blain

The United States of Antipathy – “A map that shows the states of our discontent. The following is an electoral college map that shows just how much Donald Trump is loathed in the 50 states. Pretty stunning, huh?” – Ohio Barbarian

So, Where Was Waldo? – “Let’s just say you were running for a US Senate seat in one of our country’s biggest states. . . and it was roughly one month to election day. . . and, goshdarnit, you caught the flu. Senate candidate James Talarico in Texas came down with the flu around September 26, vanished from the campaign scene altogether Sept. 30, and reappeared ten days later at an Austin City Limits music fair. Ten days is a long time to be off the campaign circuit in a supposedly super-tight race in the climactic month of the contest, don’tcha think? The reason we entertain all these details is because a rumor erupted over the weekend that candidate James Talarico actually spent a week or so at a mental health clinic called the Lindner Center of Hope in Mason, Ohio, recovering from some sort of “stress” event” – James Howard Kunstler  – MITCH MCCONNELL SYNDROME, NO DOUBT!!!!

War Against Yemen Endangers Saudi Crown Prince’s Position – “In the 1930s, during the formation of Saudi Arabia, three provinces were taken from Yemen. The Yemeni have always wanted them back. They are now in a position where they may eventually achieve that aim. In recent decades the Saudis had sent Wahhabi preacher into Yemen. This led to conflicts with the Zaidi Shia natives and in 2014 resulted in a revolution against the government of Ali Abdullah Saleh which had allowed the Saudis to gain an ideological foothold. The Houthi, a family clan or tribe of Zaidi Shia with a long tradition, allied with other clans and managed to overthrow the government in Sanaa. Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the then 29 year old Minister Defense of Saudi Arabia, started a war against the Houthi and their allies to restore the Yemeni government.  It was all to no avail. In 2022 a ceasefire was established along the conflict lines. Under the name Ansar Allah (Ansarullah) the Houthis and their local allies established themselves as the government over some 70% of the Yemeni population.” – Moon of Alabama  – WHEN FOLLOWING MANY OF THE WORLD’S CONFLICTS IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW WHO DID WHAT TO WHOM AND NOT JUST BELIEVE THE PROPAGANDA!!!

Europe Is Burning. Enter the Naked Trump Statue. – “Misplaced priorities, seventeen years of stagnation, and a warning for the rest of the West. Europe is on fire. And no, I’m not talking about the heat we had this summer. I mean literally burning. Parts of it, anyway. What started in the middle of September with a teachers’ strike and a protest over conditions at a school outside Paris has since devolved into something else entirely: second-generation immigrants waving foreign flags, alongside far-left outfits, working their way methodically through every flammable object in the republic. Buses. School buildings. Street furniture. At a certain point they ran out of things to burn and started on the trees. Throughout all of it, the mainstream press has stuck to its guns, almost admirably, and continues to file this under “protests over conditions in schools.” – Lau Vegys

THE BIG PICTURE

Thou Shalt Not Kill – “A Commandment with So Many Exceptions. Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, the president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, called the planned livestream “a barbaric promotion of a culture of death” and warned it would harm the country. A culture of death, indeed. The United States leads the world in mass shootings, weapons exports (“the merchants of death”), and threats of annihilation” -Bill Astore

Justified, Saved, Redeemed By Faith – “Is faith in God, faith in Jesus, really all that is needed? In passage after passage, Paul teaches plainly that it is only by our faith that God declares us to be righteous. It is only by faith that we are justified. We are justified by our faith. We are saved by our faith. We are redeemed by our faith.” – Peter Nayland Kust

What is The Greater-Israel Plan? – “When Land Is Taken in the Name of Heritage. What looks like a war between two nations can reveal itself as something far larger: a blueprint being drawn before our eyes One that maps a model of society onto a new territory, under the cover of crisis. Four years ago, in the early months of 2022, a striking statement was made that few paused to fully understand. Today, with the benefit of hindsight and what has unfolded across these past years, that statement no longer sounds like just another remark in a press conference, it reads like the beginning of a plan; one that connects two seemingly distant conflicts under a single, carefully designed vision. What we are witnessing is not just a war; it is the deliberate construction of a permanent security state, exported and presented as the only viable path forward.” – Jordan Nuttall

The Fraud That Launched the mRNA Era – “Before COVID, mRNA had failed for decades and both companies developing it were in financial trouble.

What Will You Do? – “The coming midterms are not consequential because there’s any real choice. That does not, however, mean they aren’t consequential. As we get inexorably closer, Trump is likely to do something drastic – not because it would make any difference to us, the goyim, whether the blues douche the reds – but because it would make a difference to him. A blue douching would be seen as a personal as well as political repudiation. A pathological narcissist such as Trump can’t stand the idea of either. There is probably nothing more important to Trump – other than money – than not being perceived as a “loser” and “weak.” A blue douching would embarrass him and that would be dangerous for us” – Eric Peters
