THE BIG PICTURE

We Are Called To Forgiveness – “One teaching of Jesus which is reiterated throughout the Gospel accounts of His ministry here on Earth is that we are to forgive one another for our many mistakes. We are going to screw up. We are going to hurt people. We are going to sin. If you are living anywhere other than a deserted island, your own life experience is frank testimony to this. People have sinned against you, and you have sinned against other people. We have all sinned against God.” – Peter Nayland Kust

The Bible is About Aliens (VIDEO) – “The Bible is about the creation of humanity by a nonhuman force, as Italian biblical translator, author and researcher Mauro Biglino reveals through decades of research. Are the Elohim our real creators? Are they extraterrestrial or even interdimensional? Do they have an evil agenda for mankind?” – Makia Freeman

Antidepressants: Permanently Curing Depression by Killing People – “A truly garbage class of drugs based on a truly idiotic theory” – Anthony Colpo

The Stunning Collapse of the Climate Scam, Documented – “First there was the COP Flop. Then the US withdrew from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Then Judith Curry retired her blog, opining that “It’s time to declare victory against climate stupidity and move on.” Then The Guardian published an article lamenting that less than 5% of UK media outlets have used the recent European heat wave as an excuse to promote Net Zero propaganda. And now even The New York Times is waving the white flag on the climate Armageddon story…well, kind of.” – James Corbett / The Corbett Report

Immunity Without Limits – ” Donald Trump’s mind is a bad dream, yet some continue to support him, making excuses for his restarting the war with Iran, when he had no intention to keep to the MoU that he signed onto. When asked, how, after months of a war that failed, he now expects the same tactics to bring victory, he puts out that 47 days of war is preferable to a terrorist nation with nukes. That’s the case, but Israel is the terrorist nation with nuclear weapons and, were Trump obliged to answer questions honestly, in an open forum, he could be easily exposed by 7th grade debaters. Trump is totally ignorant concerning Iran. Although he’s likely been informed that Iran was not developing a nuclear weapon, he could care less. What Trump requires is control of the oil—and the Straight of Hormuz.” – Erik@neverhadaboss.com

War Is Too Easy – “‘We’ll End the War by Escalating It?” – Bill Astore

How the Strait of Hormuz is testing the Iran–Oman alliance – “Iran and Oman have been allies for decades, with ties predating the Islamic Republic. That continuity is now under strain, as the US-Israeli war on Iran and Washington’s pressure on Muscat begin to test the terms of the relationship in the narrow waters of the Strait of Hormuz.” – Fereshteh Sadeghi

Why did Iran target the e at Al Tanf, Syria? – “Iran expands operationUS Occupation bass in the region to derail the Trump plans for a land invasion of Iran.” – Vanessa Beeley

MAGA Hypocrite Claims China is Providing Targeting Data to Iran – “The United States has provided targeting data to Israel, Ukraine, and Saudi Arabia” – Kurt Nimmo.

Half a Nation of Traitors – “Democrats hate this country. They hate you if you don’t also hate this country. And they will do anything to avoid you continuing to live free in this country, up to and including murdering you, because that’s who they are. If Russia or China offered to help them seize power, they’d take the deal no matter what they asked for in return. After 250 years, one of our political parties has become infested with traitors the way an old dead tree becomes infested with termites.” – Derek Hunter

News Media Have a Little Fun Mocking More of AOC’s Strangely Changing Accent – “Ocasio-Cortez also went to Tennessee to support the far-left state representative Justin Pearson in his run for the House for the 9th district seat. While she was there, she put on an embarrassing accent. As I noted, she’s from the suburbs of New York City; she’s not from the South or whatever the heck this accent is. She’s pulling a “Kamala Harris/Hillary Clinton move,” with an accent that seems to change depending on whom she’s talking. It didn’t go over well for them, and I don’t think that it’s going to go over well for her. Whether people agree with whatever she might say from a policy perspective, what people never really like is politicians being fake or inauthentic. ” – Nick Arama

Combustible Invasive Gabbard – “Honolulu PD says Tulsi’s bro arrested for allegedly trying to lure children to Waikiki hotel room” – Sage Hana

“The worst I’ve ever seen”: Canadian wildfire smoke leaves millions in US under air quality warnings (VIDEO) – “Smoke from hundreds of Canadian wildfires blanketed major U.S. cities, including Washington, D.C., New York and Detroit, prompting air quality alerts across more than a dozen states. Canadian officials reported 859 active wildfires, with 113 considered out of control and more than 2.38 million hectares burned so far this season. Poor air quality prompted health warnings and disrupted daily life across several U.S. states.” – Global News

Mission Creep: Lake Chad Basin As America’s Next Forever War? – ” As Washington celebrates tactical wins against Islamic State affiliates in Nigeria, Americans should demand policymakers pause. What began as advisory support, intelligence sharing, and targeted strikes now risks expanding across the Lake Chad Basin. American involvement in the region dates back years through training programs, intelligence sharing, and logistical support for the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF). But American involvement has gradually expanded.” – Joseph Solis-Mullen

Russia Pounds Kiev With the Largest Missile Attack of the War (VIDEOS) – “While the Ukraine war is the bloodiest war fought in Europe since WW2, the capital Kiev has still lived a comparatively normal life. The calls from the most extreme Russian segments to ‘turn Kiev into a parking lot’, ‘raze it to the ground’ etc. have been solemnly ignored by Vladimir Putin and his military commanders. With last night’s massive Russian airstrikes on the Ukrainian capital, the ‘quality of life’ there may have started to take a change for the worse – but there’s a catch.” – Paul Serran

NATO Essentially Committed Itself To A Forever War With Russia During The Ankara Summit – Andrew Korybko

Germany To Join French Nuclear Exercise, Deepening ‘Counter-Russia’ Deterrence – “In the latest development related to what some analysts have called the ‘new Cold War’ and nuclear saber-rattling between Russia and the West, Germany and France are planning a major nuclear exercise later this year.” – Tyler Durden

Next Big Downdraft For Home Prices To Start Soon (VIDEO) with Melody Wright – “Housing analyst Melody Wright expects home prices to start notably softening later this year. Why? Because a wave of distressed sellers looks very likely to hit the housing market by then. So far, sellers have largely tried to resist lowering prices. Rage delisting has become a tren” – Adam Taggart | Thoughtful Money®

Another Fed Rate Hike Would Be a Serious Mistake – “Hiking rates while maintaining elevated liquidity harms families and small businesses and perpetuates the very factors that drive inflation, including rising money supply and government spending. Keeping rates above the neutral level has cost the U.S. economy nearly one million jobs, as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) find it increasingly difficult to access credit and face prohibitively high borrowing costs.” – Daniel Lacalle

Your Holiday Jackass – (PODCAST) – “It has been a long-held tradition to check in with Jim Willie over Independence Day weekend. Why? A 3-day weekend always allows for some down time but this particular holiday falls right at the midpoint of the year. As such, we check with Jim to recap what has happened while, at the same time, discuss and forecast what might be coming in the second half of the year.” – Craig Hemke  – HAVEN’T LINKED MUCH BY JIM IN A WHILE.

Why Central Banks Love a Gold Sell-Off – “On July 7, Bloomberg published an article with the headline: “Gold’s Bull Market Has Ended and Now All Eyes Are on Bears,” explaining how many retail investors have headed for the exits. That same day, the People’s Bank of China, the country’s central bank, reported its largest monthly gold purchase since 2023. Central banks are relatively price insensitive. They buy gold as a long term hedge to preserve value, not to trade back for more paper. But they aren’t stupid either, and this shows they are buying the dip. The reason is simple: nothing has changed about why they buy.” – James Hickman (Simon Black)

Maybe Central Banks Are Gold-Price Sensitive After All – “Which is a very good thing. For a while now, analysts (including this one) have been predicting that central banks will keep buying gold regardless of its price, thereby smoothing out the normal ups and downs in that market. But recent action implies that central banks do care about what they’re paying for gold — which, at this point in the cycle, is a good thing.” – John Rubino

SHTF Plan: Are You Ready to Survive Your Own SHTF Moment? – “When it comes to preparedness information, far too many so-called survival experts spend their time obsessing over events that have roughly a one-in-a-billion chance of actually touching your life. It’s not that massive, nation-level catastrophes never happen. They do. But the big events rarely arrive with a special news bulletin the way disaster movies like to pretend. Just look at Hurricane Katrina. Just look at Venezuela’s economic collapse. Neither one showed up overnight. Both unfolded over weeks, months, even years — gradual at first, then all at once. The people who got wrecked were the ones who were waiting for a dramatic announcement before they started taking things seriously.” – Off The Grid

(VIDEO) – “Most people think their water storage means they’re prepared, but when you actually do the math against a real household, the number is often shockingly small. In this video I walk through exactly how long your stored water really lasts a family of four, a single person, and a household with pets, and why “I have water” isn’t the same as being ready. This is part one of a deeper look at building real preparedness systems instead of just buying supplies.” – Rogue Preparedness

Dad, get me out of this

I’m the innocent bystander
Somehow I got stuck
Between the rock and the hard place

THE BIG PICTURE

The Eclipse of the Soul – “Humanity is unravelling. In the span of just a few generations—scarcely a century—we have witnessed a precipitous decline in the quality of our shared life. The symptoms are everywhere: drugs flooding communities, garbage choking landscapes, ethics treated as quaint relics, families dissolving, and relationships reduced to transactions. Many sense the rot but struggle to name its root. The cause, at bottom, is simple yet profound: we have ceased to value what is real.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

Jesus & the Mysteries of Light Exploring the Teachings From the Son of God. We speak of it as though it has always been exactly as we hold it today, whole, unchanging, and complete, yet the evidence tells a very different story. Generation after generation has reached in, removed what did not suit them, smoothed what troubled them, and shaped the words until they fitted the beliefs of those in power. As though the truth itself could be made to fit inside a box of another’s making. Gospels are gone entirely. Epistles have been cast aside. Visions and revelations, once cherished and read aloud by whole communities, were condemned and forgotten And so I wonder, with a quiet and earnest heart; who, exactly, took it upon themselves to decide that the greater majority of souls should receive only a curated portion, rather than the whole?” – Jordan Nuttall

Ojeda connects the 2017, 2023, and 2024 eclipses to an ancient biblical symbol, earlier periods of upheaval, and two of the most dangerous fault zones in North America. He also links the eclipse paths to Iran, the shifting balance between East and West, and the increasingly fragile systems on which modern life depends.” – Collapse Life  – VERY INTERESTING, WATCH WHEN YOU HAVE TIME.!!!!!!!

Step one is the deployment of localized broadband networks to establish permanent physical access pipelines across private land.” – Connie Shields

Rigor Tortoise? – “They tell us the Dirty Old Turtle – Senator Mitch McConnell – is not only alive but in good enough condition to pose for a picture with his wife. He looks alert enough and well enough in the picture, so how come we haven’t seen or even heard any more of him? Why does he not speak? Why are there no videos of him up and about? How come he’s not back at work? Isn’t that what he’s being paid (by taxpayers) to do? How many of us could disappear for a month and still be getting paid by our employers? Oh, yes. Of course. Our employers have the power to fire us because we work for them and if we do not work, then off we go. Common sense suggests McConnell is at the very least incapacitated, if not actually plastron up. If you’re old enough to remember the old Soviet Union, you probably remember when the various doddering old men who led it would just disappear and we’d be told they just had a cold and were just fine, really. After awhile, when the official lies could no longer be maintained, it was admitted that Comrade Brezhnev or Comrade Andropov or Comrade Chernenko had died. An interesting thing to recall is that Comrade Brezhnev was just 79 years old when he died. Almost youthful relative to the Dirty Old Turtle, who is 84” – Eric Peters

Senator Lindsey Graham’s Funeral Details Announced: What to Know – “The late U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham will be memorialized in Washington D.C. on Tuesday, July 28, his office announced Friday. Graham’s South Carolina funeral services will take place in Pickens County and Columbia the following day. “The funeral arrangements have been complicated by the fact that so many global leaders would like to attend,” Scott said. “And so the process of figuring out when the National Cathedral would be made available at the exact same time that the global leadership would want to come, and all the other national leaders who will be there, that has made it a little more difficult to get it done this week.”” – Gabe Whisnant and Hannah Parry  – IN OTHER WORDS THEY HAD TO GET THE BODY BACK FROM UKRAINE.

The president front loaded more lies into his speech than I thought any politician could tell in a single speech, but I want to start with one statement that was true temporarily because it is critical for you to understand it is a deceptive fact of the moment which the headline evidence would appear to support as true.

Small game is only useful if you can handle it properly after it is harvested. That is where many preparedness plans fall apart.” – denob

Which is gross, however not rocket science, folks. Constant updates seem entirely unnecessary. So apparently this uber contagious parasite that comes from fecal matter is hard to study because it can’t be continuously cultured (grown) in a Petri dish 😂.

Election Integrity: Is Representative Democracy A Foolish Fantasy? – “The US Constitution is perhaps the most significant historical and governmental document in a millennia. It’s a document and an ideal that gave birth to an epoch. However, our constitutional republic was created based on conditions that, frankly, no longer exist. The American population was 95% Christian. The implementation of “patriarchy” was widespread and embraced as the most solid foundation for society. Meritocracy was absolute. Cultural identity was rooted in western civilization without any deviation or distraction. Marxism did not exist. Atheism was rare. Degeneracy was shunned or punished. Shame was an effective social tool. Psychopathy was easy to identify and remove from within the smaller population…. In 2026, many Americans still treat the notion of representative democracy as sacrosanct and untouchable, even though they don’t really know why. They just think it’s about freedom, but, they are basing their devout reverence on a system that used to work because it heavily restricted who was allowed to participate.” – Brandon Smith

He touched on voting machine shenanigans, registration skullduggery, cyber-fuckery, labor union toolery, ballot fraud, and especially China meddling. Internal CIA / FBI docs at the time said that China’s policy around the 2020 US election was to “leverage all domestic and foreign elements” opposed to the President to prevent his re-election. The Intel bunch never sent that memo to the White House. They were too busy pushing fake Russia meddling, fake impeachment, and a fake Covid-19 pandemic.

Taylor Farms distributes its produce through third parties to chain restaurants including McDonald’s and Chipotle Mexican Grill. The company is a major supplier to many large foodservice restaurants in the United States. Nearly every major supermarket chain in the United States stocks Taylor Farms products. Walk into a Whole Foods, Kroger, Walmart, Safeway, or regional chain, and the salad kits, pre-cut vegetables, and fresh greens in the produce section often originate from Taylor Farms facilities. ” – Sarah Anderson

Congress Just Moved to Take the Epstein Files Away From the Justice Department – “On the morning of July 15, Todd Blanche — the Acting Attorney General of the United States, serving since President Trump’s ouster of Pam Bondi in April and formally nominated in June — sat before the Senate Judiciary Committee for his confirmation hearing. He told the committee that “mistakes were made” in the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, but that the disclosure was an exercise in unprecedented transparency. The same day, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) introduced the Epstein Files Transparency Act II — H.R. 9694, per the sponsors’ announcement. The timing is not a coincidence. It is a message: the man testifying for the permanent job is the named defendant-in-waiting of the bill introduced that morning. The coverage will tell you, accurately, that the bill lets state attorneys general and Epstein’s victims sue the Attorney General for withholding files. Massie states the Department “continues to unlawfully withhold over 3 million Epstein files”; ” – Sayer Ji

According to EIA, storage tanks require a minimum volume of crude oil to remain operational. Known as tank bottoms, this inventory allows pumps and related infrastructure to function properly. Once inventories approach these minimum operating levels, not all stored crude is readily accessible, even though tanks are not technically empty.” – Pipeline & Gas Journal  – LOOKS LIKE THE  💩 IS HITTING THE FAN!!!!!!

Gulf war and gold – “In the fog of war, truth is the casualty. Gold and silver prices will reflect uncertainty over outcomes. All that traders know for now is that bond yields might rise further. Well-informed analysts who follow geopolitical developments have concluded that America and Israel have lost the war against Iran, and Hormuz will remain closed. But investors are driven by sentiment, which is basically their reading of past market trends relative to current prices. Never has the gulf between the two assessments been greater. We discuss this divergence, the reasons behind it, and the probable outcome for markets, and in particular for gold and silver.” – Alasdair Macleod

Fixing the Social Security Ponzi – “Trump wants to convert Social Security from a Congressional slush fund into real assets you own, like an IRA or 401k. The difference could mean $60 trillion dollars for the American people — more than the national debt. This matters because social security is going bankrupt, with trustees saying we’ve got just 6 years until benefits are cut up to 25%.” – Peter St Onge

Autonomous Maintenance: How to Choose a Blade Profile That’s Easy to Sharpen on a Rock in the Forest – “There is one thing that separates a useful knife from a paperweight in the backcountry: whether you can bring it back to a working edge with a flat stone and your hands. Not every blade lets you do that. The geometry of the grind is what makes the difference. The knife that stays sharp in the field is not always the one with the best steel or the most expensive finish. It is the one whose geometry you can actually work with your hands, a stone, and no bench vise. Choose accordingly.” – Bob Rodgers

THE BIG PICTURE

Exploring the Hidden Gospel – “The Secret Sayings of Jesus. Of all the wisdom kept from our sight, of all the truths never taught to us, what follows stands among the greatest. It is not locked away in some vault, you may find it with but a few keystrokes. Yet it remains almost entirely unknown, seen only in quiet circles and among those who seek the old books. The Gospel of Thomas This is not a text that was passed down openly through the ages, nor one you will find resting between the gospels upon the shelf. For centuries it was known only through faint whispers and scattered references, its very existence debated, doubted, and ultimately set aside, as though those in authority had decided it was not meant to be read. Then in the year 1945, within the dry and quiet earth of Nag Hammadi in Egypt, a great treasure was unearthed, curious mind. An ancient library sealed within clay jars, hidden away perhaps by those who feared what it contained, and there preserved across seventeen hundred years lay this Gospel written in the ancient Coptic tongue, waiting patiently through all those centuries for the moment when the world might once again be ready to hear it.” – Jordan Nuttall

The Killing Machines – “Governments and Technology Obsessing Over Efficient Death. Personally, I don’t think there is a better definition of insanity than the way humans delight in war and death. Yes, there was a time when killing your neighbour because they wouldn’t let you eat an apple growing on their side of the tribal fence made a tiny bit of sense. But what it has evolved into today is pure insanity. Humans are supposed to be capable of compassion. We are supposed to be able to sort out our differences with other tribes. We are supposed to care more about human life than we did in the cave days, when it was all about survival and who would or would not get the apple.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

The Problem Isn’t Flock or Ring – “These Flock (and Ring) cameras that are popping up everywhere are worrying but not for the right reason. Would you worry about a Flock or Ring camera if neither the government nor corporations (in “partnership” with the government) had any power to use the data collected against you? That’s the substantive objection. People have had cameras for longer than anyone currently living has been alive. It was and still is common for ordinary people to take pictures and videos in public. Few of us cared that we maybe got included in a picture or video taken by someone else taking pictures or videos – because why would we?” – Eric Peters

The True Cost of Trump Accounts (VIDEO) – “This is part of my ongoing investigation into the National Design Studio. Please see parts one and two. Imagine you have just given birth, and no one can tell you why the baby will not stop crying. You are sweating, your hands are shaking, and you are holding against your chest a person you met a few minutes ago and already love with a force that frightens you. You do not know if you are doing any of it right, and you are too tired to ask. In the middle of this a pleasant person comes in with a clipboard. Just a signature, they tell you, and a box to check if you want your baby to have a Social Security number. Of course you do. You check it and sign your name, and you do not read a word of the form, because you are holding your whole life in one arm and a pen in the other. What no one in that room tells you is that the box you just checked starts a second clock. That Social Security number is now keyed to a brokerage account run by a stock-trading app called Robinhood. It comes with a thousand dollars of federal money inside (if you are reading this before 2028) and the government plans to open one automatically for every newborn in the country.” – Audrey Henson / The Drey Dossier

Humpety-Trumpety’s Great Big Fall – “There has never been a more foolish Oval Office decision than the Donald’s order to the US armed forces to join Israel’s blatant aggression against Iran on February 28th. And to do so without even the pretense of consulting with a single leader of Congress—the very body delegated by the Constitution with the power to make war. The fact is, on February 27th, there was no attack on Guam, Puerto Rico or even any of the numerous US “armed forces” bases in the Persian Gulf. And as for an attack on the homeland territory of the United States itself—there wasn’t even a snowball’s chance in the hot place of that. Iran had no blue water Navy— and long before Trump sunk a few coastal vessels.” – David Stockman

Apparently in the United States of Israel you put your senate seat in your will. Lindsey Grahams sister just inherited the US political system and swallowed it whole. – “Who thinks this is bat shit crazy??? And not remotely the political system. All sitting politicians should show us their will. Oh you’re a mayor and die? Whose the new aipac mayor, trustee, judge, AG? Blah blah blah. Noahide decapitator. Oh it’s satan running the show? Why has Lindsey Graham’s sister inherited his Senate seat after his death? The late senator’s sister, the politically inexperienced Darline Graham Nordone, has inherited his office and powers. Because she was there for his speeches. So were these people. Attend a speech in the last decade? You could inherit an AIPAC POSITION IN ANY GOVERNMENT on the planet. It’s ok.

Senate Vote Stuns Netanyahu, Shows Support For Israel Slipping – “This past weekend, Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu was brimming with confidence that the U.S. and Israeli militaries would be merged into a unified partnership by the U.S. Congress due to the presence of Section 224 in the NDAA. But on Tuesday, Netanyahu was shocked and crestfallen by what happened in the U.S. Senate. As stated, the reason for voting against the bill was opposition to Trump’s illegal war of aggression against Iran (which is being fought exclusively for Israel), and no one was unaware of the significance of Section 224 being inserted into the bill. This is an incredible and almost miraculous setback for Israel. Senate Republicans voted unanimously (with the lone exception of Senator John Thune who voted “Nay” for procedural reasons, so he could later make a motion to reconsider the bill) in favor of the bill. Yes, that means Senator Rand Paul voted FOR the bill. A supreme disappointment!” – Chuck Baldwin

Nobody Knows the Real Inflation Number – “Depending on which official measure you select, inflation in May was approximately 3%, 4% or 7%. The official Consumer Price Index rose 4.2% over the previous 12 months. So-called “core CPI,” which leaves out food and energy prices, rose 2.9%. The Federal Reserve’s preferred Personal Consumption Expenditures index rose 4.1%, while core PCE (which also excludes food and energy prices) rose 3.4%. Then there are the Atlanta Fed’s sticky- and flexible-price indexes. Sticky-price inflation rose 3.1% Flexible-price inflation rose 7% That is an awfully wide range… But it does not necessarily mean anyone is lying. Each index measures something different. That’s why the numbers disagree.” – Peter Reagan

Is Your Faith Failing Because You’re Struggling? – “Being Human = Struggling Sometimes” – Kate Dreston

Flock You – “Let’s begin with the word itself. Because it conveys what they see us as. A flock – as of sheep or other animals to be herded. It is said of psychopaths that they have a need to tell us what they really think (and intend) so that when they do it, they can say they told us so – and we were too dumb to listen to them. Thus, we deserved what we got. Garret Langley, the CEO of Flock Safety – the private company that is erecting cameras in public spaces  and “sharing” the “data” with the government – has called people who oppose being treated like herd animals “terrorists” for publishing the location of these cameras, so that people are aware they’re being watched. Some people are taking defensive action against these cameras. ” – Eric Peters

Flock, Axon, Israel, and American Freedom (VIDEO) – “Flock cameras capture a complete vehicle fingerprint and use neural networks to identify and track people. Flock’s system can generate “heat maps” charting a vehicle’s movements for 30 days, which can be used to reconstruct a person’s movements, associations, and habits. The Fourth Amendment requires a detailed warrant with probable cause. But these new surveillance programs are collecting data on everyone without any suspicion, and are in direct violation of the Fourth Amendment.” – Greg Reese

While the Political Circus Distracts Us, Flock Builds the Digital Police State – “The government is watching. It watches where you go, whom you meet, where you worship, what medical offices you visit, what political rallies you attend, what protests you join, what books you read, what websites you visit and what causes you support. It watches through your phone, your car, your doorbell, your appliances, your purchases, your social media accounts and the cameras positioned along the roads you travel every day. This is how freedom dies in the digital police state:” – John & Nisha Whitehead

China has mastered the art of the silent observer. Legions of commentators spent years criticizing China for not being more active and involved in the global geopolitical theaters, such as the Russia-Ukraine war, particularly when tilting those conflicts in its own favor would have greatly benefited China.

$39 Trillion in Debt. There’s Only One Way Out. And You’re Paying for It. – “Let’s be clear. There are three ways to deal with debt. Pay it off. Default/restructure. Attempt to “inflate it away” by devaluing the currency so that every future dollar in debt payments is worth less. Policymakers have been attempting #3 since the late 1990s. The U.S. dollar has lost 50% of its purchasing power since that time.” – Graham Summers, MBA

The Quiet Militarization Of Everyday Spaces: Cameras, Drones, And Armed Security – “There was a time when most Americans expected heavy security only at courthouses, airports, prisons, and military bases. That line has moved. Today, cameras watch gas stations, parking lots, schools, churches, malls, neighborhoods, highways, apartment buildings, and even quiet country intersections. Drones appear over public events, police scenes, search areas, and large gatherings. Armed security stands at grocery stores, hospitals, banks, private developments, and entertainment venues. Many people barely notice it anymore. That may be the most important part. A prepper should notice. The goal is not panic. The goal is awareness.” – Alec Deacon

Unlike tomatoes that practically announce when they’re ripe, peppers can sit there looking nearly identical for days—or even weeks.

The Orchestrated Collapse Of The American Empire – “Europe’s economy, and by default, Germany’s, has been in a rapid decline for a decade since George Soros ordered Merkel to Open Borders. She complied. A few years later when the reality of the impact became stridently clear, Soros chided and blamed Merkel for Opening Germany’s Borders. Then she began to get those odd whole body – body shakes. She claims it was heat exhaustion. When Hillary keeled over in NYC years ago – she too claimed it was the heat despite temperatures in the 70’s. And then it went – away. Like most news stories.” – Helena Glass

Ding Dong the Dick is Dead! – “It is generally considered bad form to celebrate the death of anyone, but this is a stupid and insincere piety. Was anyone sad the day Stalin died? So why should anyone be sad that Lindsey Graham has died? He wasn’t quite Stalin, of course. He was worse. With Stalin you got what you expected. He was openly a thug (to put it mildly). Graham, on the other hand, was a member of that species of “conservative” who pretended to be an admirer of what “conservatives” like to call small government. A grotesque hilarity. Something like Bruce Jenner in high heels and a dress as a “woman.” It makes you laugh and want to puke at the same time. Cue the Lee Greenwood song. It is the anthem of these cretins.” – Eric Peters

Pay attention to those celebrating the life of Senator Lindsey Graham – “Pay attention to those who are eulogizing Lindsey Graham. While I agree with the sentiment that it’s generally never a good policy to denigrate the dead, you also don’t need to celebrate their life and tell everyone what a great person they were. Lindsey Graham was not just a terrible person. Lindsey Graham was in a whole other category. He actually reveled in the deaths of innocent people and was constantly lobbying for more of said carnage. That’s a special kind of evil that’s hard to understand.” – Leo Hohmann

Growing Consensus Lindsey Graham was Assassinated – “After the official explanation, that Graham died at home from an “aortic dissection” related to the hardening of his arteries, former CIA analyst Larry Johnson argued the senator’s trip to Ukraine and a return arrival time was impossible. “Lindsey Graham couldn’t have died at home on Saturday night,” Johnson said. “The trip to Ukraine plus the return journey make arriving at 8:30 p.m. impossible. Pentagon insiders know the truth. He died in Kiev. The cover story is already exposed by simple schedules. America deserves facts.” Russia is little different than the US or Israel when dealing with enemies. It is likely we will never know for sure who is responsible for the death of Lindsey Graham. If it was indeed Russia, and there is evidence of it involvement, this will probably never be admitted, as it casts a negative light on the ability of the United States to protect its political class from retribution.” – Kurt Nimmo

Lindsey Graham’s Death and Iran – “Diva down as FBI grabs spotlight. Graham becomes the sixth “senior” member of Congress to die in office this term alone (assuming Mitch McConnell isn’t already dead), One might think this would prompt a debate about gerontocracy, but the FBI wants you instead to worry about national security. “The FBI is assisting local authorities and has made every necessary resource available,” Director Kash Patel said in a statement after Graham’s death. Patel’s strange intervention has prompted the conspiracy-minded to go wild.” – Ken Klippenstein

Lindsey Graham and Our Vile Pro-War Culture – “In a city full of bloodthirsty militarists, Graham distinguished himself as one of the worst. Once Trump was elected, Graham quickly learned that Trump was much closer to his positions than he assumed. By the end of the first term, Graham had attached himself to Trump in much the same way that he had tied himself to McCain. He may have switched to a new leader to follow, but his atrocious foreign policy views never changed.” – Daniel Larison

Lindsey Graham was a monster, but not exceptional – “Normal people would be ashamed to be seen with him, dead or alive; Western elites are boasting of how close to him they were” -Tarik Cyril Amar

A Delusional Trump Has Another Exciting Week – “Israel feeds misinformation that Iran wants to kill him. There is a good thing about having Donald J Trump as president and that is how during a normal week he will say or do a number of incredibly stupid things that make one want to smile or even laugh outright. Unfortunately, however, the fun stops shortly after that point” – Philip Giraldi

The Israelization of America – “Israel has such contempt for its American puppet doll, into which Israeli operative President Donald Trump has turned a once proud United States, that US Representative Ro Khanna and his fact-finding delegation in the West Bank were detained by criminal “Israeli settlers” armed with US Army machine guns who had no right to be in what remains of Palestine’s West Bank. Khanna and the US delegation were at a village destroyed by the “Israeli Settlers,” an extremist apartheid group operating outside Israeli and international law, not only tolerated by Netanyahu but also encouraged by him.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Trump Reinstates Iranian Blockade, Stuns With 20% ‘Reimbursement Plan’ On Cargo Transit, Oil Prices Surge – “We’re going to keep the strait, and we’ll probably run it. We’ll become the guardian of the strait. Maybe we’ll call it the guardian angel of the strait. And we should be reimbursed for that,” -Tyler Durden

‘Millions of enraged people’ hunting for revenge -top Iranian analyst on war’s terrifying next phase (VIDEO) – “Max Blumenthal meets top Iranian analyst and journalist Seyed Mostafa Khoshcheshm in Tehran on July 9, moments after the US resumed airstrikes on Iran, and as the funeral procession for the assassinated Ayatollah Ali Khamenei proceeded through Iraq. Blumenthal asks Khoshcheshm what the red flags of revenge seen throughout the funeral procession signify, and whether the many public calls for targeting the US president and his inner circle as retaliation for Khamenei’s assassination,” – The Grayzone

Empire Thuds Iran Again Amidst Symbols of Calamity – “Like the spiral of his legacy swirling down the porcelain drain, Trump has lit off a new cycle of aimless bombings, after his patience had run dry for waiting out Iran’s “surrender” to a war the Persian nation had long won. The US is now trapped in this doom-loop of impotence, striking the same insignificant coastal launch sites over and over to no effect merely as a kind of writhing agony of imperial frustration. The breaking point apparently came over Iran’s refusal to give US and Trump the satisfaction of announcing Hormuz’s reopening, as per Trump’s begging demands.” – Simplicius

No Democrat Has the Brains or Courage to Not Be Crazy – “There’s a big empty lane within Democrat politics, and unfortunately for the Democrats, no one seems to be smart or brave enough to merge into it.

Cosmic Order Is Proof Of Divine Creation – “One of the more frequent challenges I see on social media is the persistent demand of atheists that Christians offer up some solid evidence that God is real, that God exists.

If, as seems inevitable, the coming years see the United States collapse into a quasi-failed state, with hatred and division boiling over into secession and civil war, there will be many around the world who set off fireworks and declare a victory. Many will clap. Many will cheer. I will not be one of them. Instead, I will mourn a country founded by brilliant men with beautiful ideas.

And whereas Turkey’s ones are in 9 host countries, all in its own neighborhood, America’s ones are in 95 host countries, which are all over the world. So it dwarfs any other. #3 is UK, which now has 118, which (like America’s) are spread all over the world (in 38 countries). #4 is Russia, whose 35 foreign military bases are in 11 countries, all in its own region.” – Eric Zuesse

Au Revoir, Lindsey The plaudits are rolling in, most noticeably from AIPAC.. Lindsey Graham, Trump’s bloviating golf buddy, is dead. Not long after the Senator from South Carolina shuffled off the mortal coil, the implacable Zionist influencer, Laura Loomer, posted a conspiracy theory. Lindsey Graham was murdered by Vladimir Putin. Lindsey’s untimely death came two days after he called for intensifying sanctions against the Russian Federation and “those countries that prop up Putin.” Maybe Loomer thinks Vlad slipped a dose of Novichok in Lindsey’s Frappuccino, or something. It’s not all that unusual for a 71 year old man to have a heart attack, but that’s too pedestrian an explanation for Loomer.” – Kurt Nimmo

This will drag on for days and weeks as Graham was their comrade and brother in arms.” – The WinePress

The U.S. Senate As a Nursing Home – “Age and Term Limits Should Be Considered. Graham was a fanatical supporter of Israel and an outspoken proponent of war against Iran and virtually any other country. He glommed on to the MAGA movement and became a useful dupe to President Trump, who praised him in death as a “true American patriot.” And if the definition of patriot is “MAGA warmonger,” he was definitely that.

Perhaps you’ve noticed your credit card rates creeping up. Or you’ve looked into a car loan to finance a new vehicle purchase. If so, you’ve seen the painful reality of higher borrowing costs.

“Son, you’ll reap whatever you sow”
I sow the seeds of my love

There is beauty out there somewhere
I will leave no stone unturned
There’s a guitar and a bugle
I hear the sound of distant drums
Fire and water rage through my mind
Love on this wasteland
I cannot find

And there is a HOWL HOWL HOWLING WIND
A ringing around my ears
And a wild wild wind is a blowing
Tearing down my tears

There is virtue truth abounding
Peace will come to everyman
And there’s a landmark on the skyline
There is a sign standing in the road
Sail on my brother
Sail on through the night
Love on this wasteland is waiting on down the line

And there is a HOWL HOWL HOWLING WIND
A ringing around my ears
And a wild wild wind is a blowing
Tearing down my tears

Forty days in the desert sand
Forty nights on my hands and knees
Forty days in the howling wind

The Only ‘Winners’ in Wars Are Those Who Profit and Gain From War – “Firstly, it must be understood that this country called the ‘United States,’ is the most brutal and terroristic prosecutor of aggressive slaughter and war in the history of the earth. The substantiated claim that the U.S. has been at war for 94% of its history, if anything, is an understatement. No country or nation-state has adopted war as its primary political mission to any extent close to that of America, the so-called land of the ‘free’ and home of the ‘brave.’ None are free here, and there is no such thing as bravery in war, as war itself is the essence of pure evil, because it is nothing more than the aggressive massacre of humanity on orders for the sole purpose of doing the murderous bidding of the ruling cabal.” – Gary D.

Welcome to the Surveillance Grid – ““We have cameras everywhere in town. You cannot get a breath of fresh air without us knowing”. Those words were spoken by a Colorado police sergeant to a suspect at her home. Sgt. Jamie Milliman was speaking to Chrisanna Elser, who he accused of stealing a package off someone’s porch. The interrogation was captured on Elser’s doorbell cam. The images were taken by Flock, a private surveillance company. The firm has more than 100,000 video cameras all over the U.S. Flock constantly tracks movement of vehicles and people, and sells the data to law enforcement and other agencies. The police officer also told Elser there was a video of her stealing the package. But since she denied being involved, he refused to show it to her. Eventually, Chrisanna was able to find the package theft video online. The female suspect in the blurry video was also blond.” – Adam Sharp

Trump’s 1,000 Missiles Locked and Loaded Netanyahu is pulling out all stops to force Trump to continue the illegal war against Iran..

Tyler Robinson- Just Another Patsy – “Show Trials “R” Us. The preliminary hearing for Tyler Robinson, accused assassin of Charlie Kirk, is underway. It’s been action packed so far, with conservative apologists claiming that grainy video showing a figure alleged to be Robinson at Utah Valley University on the day of the shooting is explosive “evidence” that he was the lone, guilty party. As if this footage- which never shows the individual’s face clearly- wasn’t enough, witnesses reported that grieving widow Erika Kirk was seen frequently dabbing her eyes with a tissue. This is, of course, one of her signature moves, and a sure fire indication that Tyler Robinson acted alone. ” – Donald Jeffries

Hubris Sinks Canada – “Welfare queen Canada can’t survive without handouts. Canadian citizens do not understand that Americans prop up their entire economy, they believe that carbon taxes, electric vehicle mandates, and expensive “green energy” boondoggles come with no cost. Canada is blessed with abundant reserves of crude oil, but Canada’s brainwashed people believe that it would somehow be better for their economy if they ban new hydrocarbon projects and destroy existing oil pipelines. Economic growth through economic suicide is the Canadian way. ” – J.B. Shurk

Neil Oliver interviews Tucker Carlson ‘…are we digging our own GRAVES?!’ (VIDEO) – “I was a guest on your podcast in Maine just over two years ago now. I looked it up. It was the June of 2024. And I have to say I thought at the time that things had got about as mad in the world as they were going to get and that surely we were coming out of the dark and heading for the sunlight uplands. How wrong I was. Uh the last couple of years,  I have watched you witness those years. Um how how much more madness do you think we’re looking at before we uh uh break loose into something that makes sense?” – Neil Oliver

RIP Ann Widdecombe – and shame on her haters – “The despicable response to her horrific death reveals a deep moral rot on the left. This socialism of ghouls is something we have grimly come to expect. Today’s leftism has been infected by a hysterical intolerance and adolescent misanthropy that flares up whenever someone on the right dies – even when they are assassinated.” – Tom Slater

Cuba Plunges Into Second Island-Wide Blackout As Communist System Unravels – “Cuba suffered its second nationwide blackout in a matter of days late Friday, another sign that the communist-controlled island is sliding deeper into economic collapse amid tightening US sanctions and renewed pressure from the Trump administration. Havana blames US “gunboat diplomacy” and the financial sanctions for its economic demise, but the roots of the crisis are decades of communist rule, chronic underinvestment, widespread economic mismanagement and a crumbling power grid.” -Tyler Durden

Harris and AOC: The Winning Democratic Ticket for 2028? – “They were once on the fringe – but now they’re something like mainstream. AKamala Harris and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) presidential ticket is apparently becoming a distinct possibility. Cue the snickering and snide remarks. Activate the insults that involve geography and word salads. Republicans might revel in this seemingly foolish choice and believe any candidate from the Republican Party would win. Well, they might as well shoot themselves in the foot. Trusting the electorate to make the “right” selection is the only thing laughable in this process – and making that mistake has undone the “sure thing” more often than not in our lifetime.” – Sarah Cowgill

The Retirement Expense Rising Faster Than Inflation – “A vacation can be postponed. A new car can wait another year. You can eat out less often or skip the kitchen remodel. A necessary prescription, medical test or hospital visit is different. That is what makes healthcare such a difficult retirement expense. We know we are likely to need more of it as we get older. We just don’t know how much we will need – or how much it will cost when the bill arrives. New health-insurance figures offer a troubling reminder of just how quickly that retirement math can change.” – Peter Reagan

Root Cellar Temperature and Humidity Requirements: Why Food Rots and How to Prevent It – “Anyone who has opened a root cellar door in January and found a bin of soft, weeping potatoes or a shelf of shriveled carrots knows the disappointment firsthand. The vegetables looked fine in October. By midwinter they had turned to mush, sprouted in the dark, or dried out until they were barely edible. In almost every case, the culprit was not bad luck or bad seed stock. It was a mismatch between what was actually happening inside the storage space and the root cellar temperature and humidity requirements that different crops need to survive the winter intact.” – Bob Rodgers

Learning By Doing: Why Skills Matter More Than Gear – “Walk through any preparedness event and you will see tables full of impressive gear. Radios, water filters, first aid kits, knives, solar equipment, food preservation tools, emergency lighting, and enough gadgets to fill a trailer.

The Legal Aspects of Defending Your Rural Home – “Defending your home and property is thought of as a fundamental American right. And it is, but despite that, laws, and lots of them, still apply.

Why Your Garden Wilts in July Even When You Water Every Day – ” A plant that wilts in the middle of a hot afternoon and then stands back up by evening is not necessarily short on water. On a hot day, a plant loses moisture through its leaves faster than its roots can pull it up from the soil. This is called transpiration, and it is the plant’s way of staying cool, sort of like how we sweat. When the heat gets to be too much, the plant droops on purpose. Drooping shrinks the amount of leaf surface facing the sun, which slows the water loss down. It is a survival trick, not a cry for help.” – Olivia Brooks

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

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

Wasn’t there also a bullet found on another building? I believe an unfired bullet had been found on another building at some point during my time there on September 10th. Yeah. Which building was that, sir? I don’t recall.Was that considered a scene that was worth preserving? Uh, it was not. Yeah, of course, a bullet found on a different rooftop shouldn’t be considered part of the crime scene where a guy got shot, nor should it be looked into further because lone gunman, we don’t have room to even consider other gunmen in a case like this.” – AwakenWithJP  – ANOTHER GOOD ONE FROM JP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

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

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