THE BIG PICTURE

Be Worthy – “We are all sinful, we are all fallen, we are all imperfect, but we all still make every choice in our lives. When we sin, it is through our choices. When we rise above sin, it is through our choices. Good choices move us away from sin and closer to God. Bad choices move us closer to sin and away from God. When we speak of people being “good”, we do well to apprehend that we are ascribing to them a tendency to make more good choices than bad, and when we speak of people being “bad”, we are ascribing to them a tendency to make more bad choices than good. It really is as simple as that. ” – Peter Nayland Kust

Ghislaine Maxwell Invited To Secret “Shadow Commission on 9/11” & Asked “Where Is The Real Pilot?” – “The Epstein files have revealed some some concerning and questionable emails about 9/11. There’s a HUGE story in the Epstein files that warrants a closer look. In fact, almost every newsroom should be looking into this… but they don’t have the permission space to, so they aren’t touching it.” – The Pulse

Ghislane Maxwell’s 9/11 ‘Shadow Commission Invitation’ – “The secret 9/11 “shadow commission” Ghislaine received her auspicious welcome to somehow must have slipped the Deputy AG’s mind. Surely, if Deputy AG Todd Blanche had been aware of this highly suspect email regarding a “shadow” 9/11 commission, this would have been a topic of interest to the Department of Justice? Surely?” – Ben Bartee

And again – “I cannot forgive Trudeau, Carney and their ilk for their grand “New World Order” engineering and what they have done to the middle class and the vulnerable. I cannot forgive the mainstream media for their greedy complicity and utter betrayal to their craft.”I would like the politicians who have gone along with this agenda and the banksters and their handlers that caused so much pain, to be taken to the homeless encampments, the hospitals, the food banks, the suburbs filled with people sleeping in their cars. The people frightened for their lives in hate-filled streets. The frantic and the hopeless. I want them to witness what they deny. What they are orchestrating in their delusion. – Sylvia Shawcross

The corporate capture of MAHA: How the chemical lobby is stealing our health again – “MAHA has been played. For months leading up to the 2024 election, the “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) movement captivated a nation overwhelmed by chronic diseases. I found hope in a powerful promise regarding our food supply: we would finally stop poisoning our own people. We were told that the new administration would take a sledgehammer to the corrupt alliance between federal regulators and the chemical industry. We were promised a war on the health epidemic that is sickening our children. But as the dust settles in Washington, the slogan has revealed itself to be exactly what The New Lede questioned in December: a “Trojan horse”. The very voters who turned out to demand safer food and water have been handed a policy agenda that protects the poisoners.” – Lee Evslin

The United States: A Nation Led by Pedophiles Opposing Justice – “Everyone living in the U.S. right now who is not suffering from TSS (Trump Stockholm Syndrome) is looking at the current circus happening in Washington D.C. in horror, wondering what could possibly come next. As each day brings forward more details from the Epstein files, the Trump Administration continues to double down and claim there is no actionable information being revealed, even as business leaders and some political leaders outside the U.S. who are in the Epstein files are resigning in disgrace, and probably preparing for criminal charges. With President Donald Trump controlling the FBI and the DOJ, and with both agencies so far stating that there is nothing to prosecute, the only tool left to those in Washington D.C. is the power of the subpoena, to force testimony under oath before Congress.” – Brian Shilhavy

Pam Bondi Says DOJ Released ‘All’ Epstein Files — Names Trump, Biden, Zuckerberg, Tucker Carlson Among ‘Politically Exposed Persons’ – “The Justice Department said it has released “all” files tied to dead sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein, according to a letter sent by Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy AG Todd Blanche to lawmakers on Saturday night. Bondi and Blanche’s letter said the DOJ has fulfilled its obligation to release files as part of the Epstein Transparency Act and outlined why it redacted certain portions.” – Sean James  – THIS HAS BEEN A JOKE SINCE DAY ONE, NOTHING WILL BECOME OF ANY OF THIS. NO ONE WILL BE ARRESTED AND THE PEDOPHILIA AND SEX TRAFFICING WILL CONTINUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where Are The “Tiny Cars”? – “Remember those Tiny Cars Trump said we were going to get? Where’d they go? Whatever happened to them? Nothing. They’re still available for sale – elsewhere. Just not here – and probably never will be. Trump probably spoke before he knew – as seems to be pretty routine for him.” – Eric Peters

If anyone should appreciate that “income” taxation not only remains wholly unconstitutional, but it is one of the more destructive and malevolent forms of social engineering afflicting We the People, it would be your average useful idiot IRS apparatchik; to wit: You’re not going to believe this.

Want My Email List? – ‘It’ll Cost You! Kamala Harris Sold Her Email List to D.N.C., Then Paid Off Old 2024 Debts The national party, which is nearly $100 million behind its G.O.P. counterpart, bought the list for $6.5 million. What a sham (and shame). If Kamala truly wanted to help the DNC, why not just give them the email list for free, thereby saving the DNC $6.5 million, which could then be spent on supporting down-ballot candidates? I guess the email list was the only thing of value Kamala had to sell.” – Bill Astore

The Last Valley – “Study the Thirty-Year’s War to see Europe’s potential future. I believe this will all kick off when “remigration” becomes a realistic expectation across Europe. Mohammedans will not just be taken to airplanes and depart peacefully. Once they occupy a city and build mosques, this territory becomes, in their minds, part of the global Islamic “Umma,” and once it is, it can never be given back to infidels without a fight. (It took the Spanish nearly 800 years to expel the Moors.) And anybody who does not understand that Muslims have been stockpiling arms across Europe for the fight they know is coming is extremely naive. What is easier to sneak into an European country: 2,000 fighting-age Muslim men, or one twenty-foot cargo container that can be unloaded from a truck in a matter of minutes? How many of these containers are hidden across Europe? We’ll find out soon enough, and all the European Traitor Class politicians will plead that they had no idea this might happen. The millions of military-age men who have traveled partway around the world to arrive in Europe are also more used to living in harsh conditions without clean running water, sanitation, or supermarkets. They will be able to survive conditions that will cause Europeans to go into shock. Low IQ men with very high testosterone, driven and united by religious fanaticism, will win over higher IQ men men with low testosterone during the initial stages of conflict in Europe.” – Matthew Bracken

Report Uncovers A Continuous, Massive Pipeline of Canadian Weapons Flowing Directly To Israel – “The rhetoric in mainstream media, only after so much genocide has occurred in Gaza, was to condemn Israel for its actions after the October 7th attack that occurred in Israel. Condemnation and international calls for a ceasefire from countries like Canada only came well after Israel continued to obliterate Gaza. Even after the narrative shifted, and Canada insisted that it had restricted arms exports to Israel, it appears this may not have been true at all.” – Arjun Walia

When Did Starvation Become an Acceptable Tool of Foreign Policy? – “The Trump administration has abandoned diplomacy. Marco Rubio is not behaving as the Secretary of State. If Pete Hegseth is the Secretary of War, a more appropriate title for Rubio is the Secretary of Economic War. For three quarters of a century, the U.S. has attempted all manner of assassinations and coups to overthrow the government of Cuba. In Cuba, there is already not enough oil to guarantee your car, generator or hot water will run. There is not enough electricity to keep the lights on. As a result, tourism, the economic lifeblood of Cuba, is drying up. But if the still standing regime is to fall, the embargo must be tighter. “THERE WILL BE NO MORE OIL OR MONEY GOING TO CUBA – ZERO!” Trump stormed. “I strongly suggest they make a deal, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.” Seeking “a total blockade on oil imports” to Cuba, at the end of January, Trump signed an executive order imposing tariffs on any country that sends oil to Cuba.” – Ted Snider

Is Silver Being Suppressed? And What’s Happening With Gold? – Peter Reagan

ONE DAY THERE WILL BE NO OFFER — ONLY A BID – “What happens when paper stops clearing and liquidity vanishes? In a world where debt has swollen far beyond historical precedent, the gold/S&P ratio becomes more than a chart — it is a stress indicator of the system itself. The rising ratio does not celebrate gold’s strength; it reflects the gradual erosion of confidence in paper assets. If this trend continues, what we are witnessing may be less a market cycle and more a structural shift in how wealth is measured and preserved.” – Egon von Greyerz

The Stock Market Is Showing Signs Of Technical Breakdown (VIDEO) with Lance Roberts – “While the S&P has hit a new record high this year, it is having a difficult time rising back above 7,000. The technical action is weak, and the 20-Daily Moving Average is in danger of crossing below the 50-Daily Moving Average. Should that indeed happen, it substantially increases the odds of a further material decline. Will the market recover? Or will it roll-over?”- Adam Taggart | Thoughtful Money®

The strength of the Chinese technology sector and its exporting companies gives enough room for leverage. However, behind the weak private sector credit demand lies an evident economic slowdown that the Chinese government acknowledges, challenging consumption patterns, a significant overcapacity problem, and the depth of the housing crisis.” – Daniel Lacalle

Wilderness Skills: Winter Tracking in Snow – “Winter has a way of silencing the landscape. Leaves are gone. Underbrush collapses. Insects disappear. Sound carries differently. But the greatest transformation is not what you hear — it’s what you can see. Snow turns the outdoors into a ledger. Every movement is recorded. Every crossing leaves evidence. Wildlife patterns that remain invisible in summer suddenly become obvious. Human movement that would go unnoticed in dry ground stands out in stark contrast. For those serious about wilderness competence and preparedness, winter tracking is not an optional curiosity — it is one of the most powerful observational skills available.” – denob

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK  (MARDI GRAS)

I been in the right place
But it must have been the wrong time
I’d of said the right thing
But I must have used the wrong line
I been in the right trip
But I must have used the wrong car
My head was in a bad place
And I’m wondering what it’s good for 

I been the right place
But it must have been the wrong time
My head was in a bad place
But I’m having such a good time
I been running trying to get hung up in my mind
Got to give myself a little talking to this time

Just need a little brain salad surgery
Got to cure this insecurity
I been in the wrong place
But it must have been the right time
I been in the right place
But it must have been the wrong song
I been in the right vein
But it seems like the wrong arm
I been in the right world
But it seems wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong

Slipping, dodging ,sneaking
Creeping hiding out down the street
See me life shaking with every hoot I meet
Refried confusion is making itself clear
Wonder which way do I go to get on out of here

I been in the right place
But it must have been the wrong time
I’d have said the right thing
But I must have used the wrong line
I’d a took the right road
But I must have took a wrong turn
Would have made the right move
But I made it at the wrong time
I been on the right road
But I must have used the wrong car
My head was in a good place
And I wonder what it’s bad for

This Is Armageddon Energy. For Them. – “Whatever is on the other side of this, is up to us. We choose. This is our world, not theirs. Time to step up. Yes, it’s just that bad. And Congresswoman Lauren Boebert described the worst of it on Wednesday, after viewing the still embargoed files. They eat us. They are cannibals. That’s their most secret sin, beyond the rape, torture and murder of the innocent. “Pizza” is not just the rape of children, it means eating children. “Jerky” is the dried flesh of babies. Why did Epstein order 330 gallons of sulphuric acid shipped to his island, prior to his arrest? Because sulphuric acid dissolves bones. Pam Bondi, who endures being shouted at all day long by both sides, states the truth of the matter. If we knew all, the system would fall.” – Elizabeth Nickson  -LONG, BUTGOOD READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wasted Effort – “Everything in today’s world is marketed as a solution to some overall human harm, either to us or because of us, whether it works or not, or has any effect or not. I’m all for the environment, but it’s a bit of hubris that makes us think we can have an effect on it. The earth itself creates more CO2 than the entire history of human beings by a large margin. One volcano can replace all of the CO2 that we remove through all of the efforts of humanity, all of the trillions of dollars spent and that’s assuming that CO2 is bad, which I absolutely refuse to believe. I’ve asked trees and they agree with me.” – T.L. Davis

Our Republic—Traded For Fascism – “The United States is a fascist nation—more-so with each presidential administration. Privatization (handmaiden of fascism), a confluence of government/corporatism, destroyed the republic. But what caused privatization? The political turmoil upon us has its roots in economic causes. You can point to Nixon ending the gold standard in 1971, but we need to look further back, to what our founders gave us—industrial capitalism. ” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

Are the Ukrainian peace talks a hoax? – “The so-called Ukrainian peace talks have puzzled me for sometime. For the conflict to be resolved requires Trump and Putin to work out an agreement between themselves, but this necessary meeting has not occurred. Trump has said repeatedly that he wants the issue resolved, but his terms have never been clear other than demanding a cease fire before the terms of the agreement are known. It is not clear that Trump has taken trouble to understand what Putin means by the root cause of the problem or that the real problem is the absence of a mutual security agreement between Russia and the West. Perplexingly, the “peace process” has been characterized by Trump blaming Putin for not accepting a cease-fire in place of a negotiated agreement and adding more Russian sanctions as a punishment. This has never struck me as indicating any seriousness on Trump’s part toward finding a solution, and it has puzzled me that Putin continues to see hope in such an unpromising process.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Munich Security Conference Evangelizes European War – “The Munich Security Conference has kicked off, and not surprisingly the Brussels nomenklatura and its attendant apparatchiks and media flacks are pushing war hysteria.

Is the Fed Intervening Because An AI-Induced Depression is Just Around the Corner? – “Something doesn’t add up. We are told that the economy is doing great. Indeed, the official metrics from the Fed suggest that U.S. GDP is currently clocking in at an annualized rate of 4%. And yet… despite this, the Fed is already cutting rates AND printing $40 billion per month and using the money to buy U.S. debt. To put those actions into perspective, the Fed usually does this during recessions to cushion the economic fallout. Why is the Fed doing this? If the economy is so great, why does the Fed need to intervene as if we’re already in a recession? The CEO of Microsoft’s AI division, Mustafa Suleyman, seems to have an answer… – most of the tasks will be fully automated by an AI within the next 12 to 18 months”” – Graham Summers, MBA

The Affordability Crisis and the UniParty’s Inflation Shell Game – “Here’s one of the greatest certainties facing every household in America beyond the proverbial prospect of death and taxes: Namely, the monthly electric bill, as it arrives like clockwork either in the mail or by auto pay. And, according to Grok 4, there are approximately 143 million customers getting a metered bill each month. Needless to say, the political hot potato of “affordability” does very much come to mind when you take a gander at the CPI electricity graph below. On a nationwide basis, electric bills rose by +6.7% during the first twelve months of the Donald’s second term, and that was just more of the same punishment to household budgets that has been underway since February 2020.” – David Stockman

Silver Holding the 70s — And This Time May Actually Be Different – “Watch the ratio… Silver is trading around $77, holding steady after the spike to $120 and the predictable slam that followed. Gold remains above $5,000, recently printing near $5,040. That puts the gold/silver ratio around 65. During the volatility flush, the ratio briefly expanded as silver was hit harder than gold. Now it has compressed back into the mid-60s. That compression matters. So while $77 feels like stabilization, structurally it looks more like absorption. The $120 move was emotional. The $77 hold is structural. And here’s the part people always say — usually incorrectly: This time is different.”” – Kerry Lutz

What rarely crosses anyone’s mind is how deeply the modern financial system depends on that steady flow of electricity. Your paycheck, your savings, and the balance you check on your banking app are not stacks of bills waiting patiently in a vault.

The Coming Constitutional Ice Age – “Last fall during the opening of the United Nations in New York City, I recognized the face of a federal officer from his days working in law enforcement in New Jersey and mine as a trial judge. We chatted and I asked him what he was doing. He told me he worked for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE. I asked what ICE has to do with the U.N., and he told me that soon ICE will be everywhere. When I asked if ICE has become a paramilitary force, answerable to the White House, he just smiled, as if to say, “Don’t quote me.” When I asked him why he was carrying two handguns and an AK-47 automatic rifle, he laughed and said, “I have more than you can see, judge!” Since then, the president has used ICE to fulfill his promise of aggressive enforcement of immigration laws while cutting constitutional corners —” – Judge Andrew P.

Bondi attempted to sidestep the question; when Nadler repeated it, she raised her voice and insisted she would “answer the question the way I want to answer the question,” talking over Nadler as colleagues tried to intercede. As the exchange escalated, Bondi pivoted away from Epstein entirely – invoking the Dow, S&P and Nasdaq and touting retirement accounts.” – Tyler Durden  – REALLY, WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THE DOJ AND  THE ATTORNEY GENERAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We Have Now Reached “Gunperson” Level Absurdity – “Another day, another NOBODY-WANTS-TO-SAY-IT tragedy. By now you’ve surely heard about Tuesday’s horrific school shooting in Tumbler Ridge—a tiny, remote Canadian town. It’s the deadliest mass shooting Canada has seen in more than thirty years. Within minutes of the rampage, alerts went out describing the suspect as a “female in a dress.” The minute I saw that, I knew. I mean, have you ever—even once—seen an alleged perpetrator described as a “male in pants” or a “female wearing shoes?” Of course not! It’s “armed female” or “adult male” or, if the subject is still on the loose, maybe “a white male in a neon green hoodie and purple parachute pants.” But never-not-ever is it “a human in human clothing.” They only threw the dress part in there to avoid stating a politically inconvenient fact, upsetting advertisers, or toppling their own carefully constructed narrative.” – Jenna McCarthy  – YEP, HOW DARE  YOU SAY IT WAS A TRANS PERSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The media will tell you the current U.S. military and diplomatic posture in the Caribbean is about Venezuela, Maduro, and “regional stability.” That’s the kindergarten version. What’s really happening is a three-front strategic reset: 1. 🇻🇪 Venezuela — the collapsing Chinese-aligned regime 2. 🇨🇺 Cuba — the ideological prize vulnerable for the first time since 1959 3. 🇵🇦 Panama — the canal the U.S. is quietly negotiating to take back This is the most consequential geopolitical window the United States has had in the Western Hemisphere in 40 years.” – Kerry Lutz  – MISSED THIS ONE WHEN IT CAME OUT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO.

The ‘Good Deal’ Lie – “Other governments have no interest in accepting Trump’s demands for their surrender. The president continues to pretend to favor a diplomatic solution with Iran: Every aggressor would prefer that the other side yields everything without a fight, so it doesn’t mean anything when the president says that a deal is his “preference.” No doubt he would also prefer that Denmark hands over Greenland without any resistance. Trump’s preference, as always, is for the domination and the humiliation of other nations.” – Daniel Larison

130,000 Jobs Added. One Million Jobs Erased. – “The Jobs Recession Isn’t Over Yet” – Peter Nayland Kust

What About Employment? – “Well here it is folks….. Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 130,000 in January, and the unemployment rate changed little at 4.3 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Job gains occurred in health care, social assistance, and construction, while federal government and financial activities lost jobs. ADP reported a tepid headline number with nearly all of it in health care. That was followed by this out of BLS which surprisingly confirmed it: Health care added 82,000 jobs in January, with gains in ambulatory health care services (+50,000), hospitals (+18,000), and nursing and residential care facilities (+13,000). Job growth in health care averaged 33,000 per month in 2025. We should rename that “health-related financial extraction services” because I assure you that there were not 82,000 new nurses and doctors minted last month. Indeed only about 200,000 nurses graduate and receive their RNs annually and of course some people retire too so that’s not net adds, its gross degrees granted. When an economy becomes this unbalanced as an ever-increasing number over the space of decades bad things are going to happen.” – Karl Denninger

7 Things That Will Happen When the Economy Collapses – “An economic collapse can take several forms, but most have a few things in common. Some start out as a prolonged recession that erodes the economic foundation over time. Whereas others, like the start of the Great Depression and the collapse of the Soviet Union, seemed to happen quickly. Even if the signs of eminent failure had been on the horizon for months or years in advance. History shows the same warning signs appearing again and again.

The Epstein Files: More of the Empire’s “created reality”? – “Is this programmed witch hunt really what distrusting the establishment looks like? The only thing anyone wants to talk about is the Epstein files, the millions of documents and emails released by the US government concerning the *ahem* late Jeffrey Epstein and his many high-profile correspondents. That this is all the MSM wish to discuss is hardly surprising, they are the mouth to the establishment brain. But that it should also so totally dominate the alternate media I find a little concerning. Have we really learned anything at all?” – Kit Knightly  – GOOD POINT FROM KIT!!!!

These men wrap deceit in religious language and moral clothing, appealing to people’s desires. These men are masters of deception who gain fame, and a kind of deification.

At the very end of the movie, Chuck is driving down a country road drinking a bottle of water. It’s no big deal, he’s just sipping water absent-mindedly, like we all do. But the audience sees it. Chuck didn’t have to capture the water from the sky. He didn’t have to drill a well. It’s just something he paid $1 for at a gas station.

All Is Well or Is It? – “My government overlords and their legacy media propaganda outlets tell me the economy is booming because GDP is between 4% and 5%, the stock market is near all-time highs, inflation is declining, unemployment is low, and AI is going to transform our world for the better. According to their narrative, All is Well.  Meanwhile, all hell is breaking loose in every facet of our everyday lives. We are seeing 6 sigma (once in 500 million) events in multiple markets (gold, silver, JPY bonds) within one week. Well functioning non-manipulated markets based on price discovery do not crash by 40% in one day, like silver did last week. Government shutdowns, ICE shootings, massive welfare program fraud, passing more bloated spending bills, fake staged shutdowns, violent upheaval in Democrat run urban shitholes, uncovering and ignoring the 2020 election fraud, Democrats (with RINO support) desperately trying to stop the SAVE Act voter ID bill to continue their election fraud scheme, and Trump tariffing and threatening every country on earth if they don’t do what he says, makes every day seem like an exhausting slog towards perdition.” – Jim Quinn

Please Understand That Nothing Will Be Done About The Epstein Files – “The people in the documents will suffer no consequences. The institutions responsible for the abuses you’ve learned about will not change anything about how they operate. Your government will change absolutely nothing about its policies and behavior. Nothing will be done if you vote in the other political party. Nothing will be done if you vote in new politicians. Nothing will be done if you write letters to your senators and representatives. Nothing will be done if you hold protests outside government buildings. No meaningful laws will be passed. No prosecutions of any meaningful consequence will occur. Don’t believe me? Just watch and pay attention.” – Caitlin Johnstone

And we’ve all heard that Elon Musk really wanted to engage in “the wildest party“ on Epstein’s pedophile island. But beyond the attention-grabbing (or is that attention-distracting?) headlines, what’s really in the Epstein dump? Let’s find out.  1) Epstein was an agent and he was working for… Brace yourselves for this one, guys. It turns out one intelligence source affirmed what we all already knew: Epstein was a spy. But you’ll never guess who he was working for…Russia! Surprise! It seems Epstein was a KGB plant the whole time! And, as the crack journalists at The Daily Mail report, not only was Epstein running a “KGB honeytrap,” one FBI informant claimed he was also a wealth manager for Putin and Mugabe. So, there you go, everyone. Case closed! …Or maybe, just maybe—hear me out here—he was a Mossad agent.” – James Corbett

It seems to me that Hegseth doesn’t want soldiers thinking about that at all. It seems to me that he wants them to simply obey orders and not think about whether the orders are legal or not. Indeed, I can’t help but wonder what Hegseth would say about the prosecutions of Nazi officials at Nuremberg. Would he say that those prosecutions were illegitimate? Weren’t those officials prosecuted for blindly following orders to commit illegal acts?’ – Jacob G. Hornberger

Thus, despite Zelensky’s lies and attempts to downplay the actual figure by well over 30 times, we now know that entire generations of Ukrainian men have been wiped out. While the entire world is in shock as the latest bloodcurdling revelations from the Epstein files indicate that monstrous Western elites are far more vile than most people could ever imagine (effectively confirming that “insane conspiracy theories” about pedophilia, organ harvesting, cannibalism and Satanic rituals were not only true, but are actually far worse), the Neo-Nazi junta frontman Volodymyr Zelensky is pretending as if nothing is happening. He continues peddling the same old narrative about “democratic and free Ukraine defeating the evil Russian tyrants”. You know, the same “democratic Ukraine” that tried to kidnap at least 20,000 kids and sell them off to child rapists and cannibals, but was prevented by the “autocratic” Russian military.” – Drago Bosnic

Why America’s Two-Party System Will Never Threaten the True Political Elites – “Whenever a new US president is sworn in, media pundits and court historians gush about the supposed “peaceful transfer of power” that is taking place. This has become a key tenet of the mythology and ideology surrounding democracy—that governing elites willfully abandon their control over the machinery of the state in response to election outcomes. Indeed, this narrative about democracy is absolutely foundational to the perceived legitimacy of democracy. The contention that elections lead to a “peaceful transfer of power” reinforces the idea that the governing elites are determined by elections, and therefore by the “will of the people.” If “we the people” vote for a new group of rulers, then the old leaders will step aside a new group will take over. At least, that’s how the story goes. ” – Ryan McMaken

He said he was going to make the internet free again for conservatives to express their views and opinions without fear of being censored or shadow banned like they were under Biden.

The Days of Noah Are Back: What Genesis 6 Really Says (VIDEO) – “Jesus said the end times would look like the days of Noah. Most people quote that verse, but skip what was actually happening in Genesis 6. Genesis describes a supernatural corruption of humanity.

It’s spiritual warfare.” – Emily Witte

The Hijacking of Bitcoin – “Bitcoin was supposed to be simple: digital money you could send to anyone, anywhere, without a bank or government getting in the way. When Satoshi Nakamoto released the idea in 2008, it was described as peer-to-peer electronic cash, like handing someone cash in person, but over the internet. No middleman. No permission needed. Privacy protected. Freedom built in. Today, though, Bitcoin is sold as digital gold, something you buy and hold, not something you spend on coffee. Transactions are slow and expensive on the main network. Most everyday use happens on side systems that add layers of control. The whole story changed from cash for the people to scarce asset for Wall Street. That did not happen by accident. It was hijacked. The funding for this change is linked to Jeffrey Epstein. ” – Aaron R. Day

Amongst others, Strong was Secretary General of the first United Nations Conference on the Environment and Population in 1972, President of the Rockefeller Foundation, head of the World Bank, head of the United Nations Environmental Program, a member of the Foundation Board of the World Economic Forum and a committed socialist and globalist.

Yes, we’re shocked by what we’ve been made privvy to so far – but not really. How many of us didn’t already suspect this sort of thing was going on? More finely, how many of us believed the ruling class wasn’t riddled with the most awful kinds of people? These people are, after all, politicians. And what is a politician but a gangster who is presented as legitimate? The gangster is a thug who is feared rather than loved because it is understood he has the power to make you suffer. He can have you beaten up or killed. He can just take your stuff. It is now out-in-the-open what we’re dealing with. More finely, who these people are. That it is characteristic of the class.

Blood in the Water – “This bread and circuses routine is looking pretty played out. The bread, of course, is pizza, the Soylent Green of these seeming end-times, underwriting the nation’s romance with morbid obesity (and perhaps with degenerate sex).

What will it finally take for Western Civ, and its avatar, the USA, to stop embarrassing itself before God and history, and find better things to do? You have been following the Epstein papers, no doubt. The sordidness grows like a yeast infection in the body politic, and yet to date hardly one prosecutable crime? What gives with that? Last week’s release of the final super-batch of Epstein papers brought on a harvest of reputations, at least.

The Criminality Buried In The Epstein Files Is Worse Than Anyone Thought, And The Degeneracy Of Donald Trump Is Worse Than Anyone Thought – “”I never … believed there was one code of morality for a public and another for a private man.” Thomas Jefferson Last weekend, the Justice Department released millions of additional pages (along with thousands of additional photographs) of the Epstein files. The little bit that I have seen so far absolutely staggers the imagination and thoroughly sickens the stomach. And Donald Trump is far from an innocent bystander. He is neck-deep in filth and criminality. No wonder Trump tried so hard to keep the files hidden and is now about to start a war with Iran to keep the American people distracted, hoping they will not pay attention to what is in those files.” – Chuck Baldwin

Those impressions remain valid however: this is not a repressive state.

Colleen reported from Minneapolis that there were checkpoints everywhere, that the streets are full of heavily armed men, that people are frequently stopped, questioned, asked to produce documents, and diverted, and that many shops bars and restaurants are closed because the staff are afraid to venture out into the streets. Colleen is heavily involved in detainee support and in getting supplies to people sheltering in their homes. Remind me again, which of us is in a supposed dictatorship?” – Craig Murray

Why is the Deep State Targeting DNI Tulsi Gabbard with Such Ferocity? – “Each day more and more people are starting to realize/notice there are elements of the United States intelligence apparatus that are targeting Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard. The need for control is a reaction to fear, and Tulsi Gabbard has the DC Intelligence Community very worried. The DNI can assemble material from any silo. Meaning the DNI can reach into any IC silo and extract anything they want. Under the original authorities given to the DNI, this authority exists. In essence, the DNI *CAN BE* deployed like a super strong cross-silo inspector general’s office. Force the other IC silos to comply with the demands of the DNI. This has never been done. But the DNI has this unique power. The DNI can make the FBI, DOJ, DOJ-NSD, DoD, DoS and CIA provide anything and everything they demand. Instead of the other silos using blocks and threats against the office of the President, use the authority of the DNI to get them without confrontation. Then use the DNI to declassify the documents (if requested by potus), instead of the originating silo.” – Sundance

How Arms Control Went Out The Window – “Today the last nuclear treaty between the the United States and the Russian Federation expired. It is the first time in 64 years that there will be no limits on each side’s nuclear forces. The New START Treaty had been limiting the number of deployed strategic nuclear weapons and weapon carriers. Other nuclear related treaties like the Anti Ballistic Missile treaty, the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty and the Open Skies Treaty have previously been ended by various U.S. presidents. Russia had offered and asked for prolonging the New START Treaty but the U.S. had, until today, not responded to that request.” – Moon of Alabama

What’s The Likelihood Of A Global Nuclear Arms Race? – “Russia and China are expected to reciprocally respond to the US’ potential development of new nukes and/or new nuke tests after it just let the New START lapse, which could be exploited by European and East Asian countries to develop their own nukes, thus emboldening some Muslim ones to follow suit.” – Andrew Korybko’s

Stackers smiling, traders trounced – “The disconnection between physical reality and derivative volatility became obvious in gold and silver pricing this week. No silver? No matter. Futures carry on regardless. This week has seen price instability in gold and particularly silver. This morning in European trade gold was $4875, up $210 from last Friday’s close and silver at $73.80 is down $11.60 having been as high as $92 on Wednesday.” – Alasdair Macleod

The Silver Price Lie Is Crumbling: London Just Proved It – “A 6.1% lease rate, sold‑out mints, and empty bullion shelves—paper silver may have crashed, but physical demand is exploding in plain sight. In just its opening days, nearly 19 million ounces have already been delivered—almost matching all of last February—and a stunning 100% of open interest is standing for delivery. This isn’t a futures market anymore. It’s a physical grab. And March, the big contract month, looms like a storm on the horizon. Let that sink in. Registered silver—the metal actually deliverable—has collapsed from 167 million ounces in October 2025 to around 103 million now, draining at roughly 785,000 ounces per day. At that rate, available supply could fall to 85 million ounces by the March delivery start. The rest of the COMEX “eligible” category remains untouched, because owners refuse to part with their metal at current suppressed prices. When people who own silver won’t sell it to the exchange meant to trade it, it’s not a functioning market. It’s a countdown.” – The Silver Academy

Do CME COMEX Rules Have Trapdoors Effectively Allowing High Frequency Traders To Erase Price Movement Guardrails? – “The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) COMEX markets for gold and silver futures trading maintains a rulebook to ensure that commodity trading in the market is maintained in an orderly fashion so that daily trading price moves don’t run away either higher or lower. It is well known that market runs can be triggered by rapidly offering-down a contract price through points where large stop-losses are positioned automatically triggering further selling bringing the price rapidly lower and potentially cascading down the contract price through chaotic selling. To limit such undesirable market action, the CME COMEX market has what it calls Dynamic Circuit Breakers (DCBs). For silver, DCBs are currently triggered when the price of silver moves up or down more than 10% from a reference price calculated from market data. ” – David Jensen

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Garden Planning for Food Security – “For most Canadians, gardening is recreational. For preppers, it’s infrastructure. The difference matters. A recreational garden produces food when conditions are good. A food-security garden is designed to produce reliably, even when weather, labour, inputs, or supply chains are working against you. That requires planning well beyond seed catalogs and spring enthusiasm.” – denob

Answering the Most Common Preparedness Questions After Years of Survival and Field Testing – “Preparedness From Beginners to Experts!” – Jason Salyer

How To Choose The Best Food Grade Buckets – “When it comes to long-term food storage, few tools are as important — or as misunderstood — as food grade buckets. Preppers who ignore proper storage containers often learn the hard way that poor packaging can destroy years of stored food in a matter of months. Moisture, oxygen, pests, light exposure, and chemical contamination are the biggest enemies of long-term food security. The right food grade buckets eliminate those threats and allow you to safely store survival foods for decades.” – Ask A Prepper Staff

Why Industrial Agriculture Hates Your Heirloom Soup Beans – ” Modern seed systems reward beans that behave perfectly for combines, packing lines, and global shipping. Flavor doesn’t rank high. Neither does nutrition. Resilience barely makes the list. Heirloom soup beans quietly rebel against that logic.” – Bill Heid

VERSE FOR THE DAY

John 8:44     Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
