THE BIG PICTURE

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!!!!

I’m Thinking Public Executions. How About You? – “Our glorious leaders are entering the Finding Out part of their wretched, disgusting lives.For someone like me who has been writing about Satanic Ritual Abuse, child sacrifice and Luciferian elites – hoping that I am wrong – this week was revelatory. And unpleasant. The fact that the most powerful among us worship Lucifer, engage in rites where they summon demons via child sacrifice in order to get power and wealth and pleasure… Just no. Please. No.” – Elizabeth Nickson

A Warning For America, A Warning For The World, And A Warning For You.. – “Lions. History has shown that this plague on humankind starts with a single mask… which whispers onto the masses a kind of hypnosis infecting, deceiving, and turning man against his brother. Some may call him an anti-Christ. These world leaders promise a counterfeit system. These men evoke and prey on masses using slivers of truth to make a lie(s) appear as truth. 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. Not as a cartoon villain… but as an archetype. (A counterfeit “savior”) that has shown up in every age since time began.” – Gregory Mannarino

EXPLOSIVE TAP Talk with Adam Eisenberg, 9/11 Pentagon whistleblower (VIDEO) – “While serving in the Army as a member of Alpha Company, 3rd US Infantry, Adam Eisenberg spent approximately 240 hours on site, with at least a hundred of his fellow servicemen, at the Pentagon on 9/11. In short, he helped clean up the mess from the plane crash. Except that, well, there was no plane, he argues. He has also identified people of interest, who could be behind the cover-up and execution of the PentaCON event.” – 9/11 Revisionist  – DON’T USUALLY LINK THIS LONG OF A VIDEO (5 HRS ), BUT WATCH WHAT YOU CAN WHEN YOU HAVE TIME!!!!!

Cast Away Explains Wealth Better Than Most Textbooks – “Cast Away is an enjoyable movie for a lot of reasons. But my favorite part of the movie is that it makes you think. It doesn’t just make you wonder how you would do in such a situation; it makes you see things that you’ve never seen before—and appreciate those things. 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. Zemeckis is telling us something: most of us can’t see the miracles all around us, which are not accidental, and shouldn’t be taken for granted.” – Jon Miltimore

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

Beneath Trump’s 2nd Term—A Quagmire – “Nowhere is this more apparent than Trump letting New Start expire. Nuclear arms limitation treaties are difficult (if not impossible), to negotiate. New Start was a good one. Not acting on Putin’s offer to extend New Start for one year, no strings attached, Trump put the world in even greater jeopardy.” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

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

10 Things I Learned From the Epstein Files – “By now we all know Bill Gates caught an STD from “Russian girls” and tried to surreptitiously drug his wife with antibiotics. 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

Trump Posts, Then Deletes Video Depicting Obamas as Apes. Too Late! – “The White House initially defended this. Trump now blames assistants.” – Mish

How George Soros Built the Empire Without Ever Taking the Throne – ” The best way to understand him is not as a rich man with opinions, and not as a philanthropist with a large heart, but as a strategist of systems. He has not merely pushed particular policies. He has built an infrastructure designed to decide, in advance, which policies are even thinkable, which institutions are trusted, which officials are promoted, and which forms of social disorder are excused as “the work of justice.” This is not ordinary politics. It is meta politics.” – Alexander Muse

Soros PRAISES Spain’s Sánchez For MASS AMNESTY Of 500,000 Illegals – “Globalist scion calls for more leaders to flood nations with migrants under guise of “sound policy”” – Steve Watson

Trumps’ Cabinet Appointments Running The Greatest Show on Earth – “TrumpRx will fizzle and die like a dud firecracker. It is not available for those who are insured, or those on Medicare. Oddly Ozempic is highlighted as one of the biggest drug price drop which coincides with growing side effects including; gastro issues, diarrhea, vomiting, headache, blindness, kidney failure, pancreatis, and the list goes on ad nauseum! Not to worry, doctors can prescribe 13 other pills to mediate the side effects and 30 more to mediate the side effects of the pills mediating the side effects… American medicine. This is the brainchild of Dr. Oz. Meanwhile, Bessent has openly declared that Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS would be paid for by American Taxpayers. The level of Hunger Game idiocy is only matched by Jewish influencers claiming that Epstein was an agent of Russia’s KGB…” – Helena Glass

Should Soldiers Obey Orders to Commit Crimes? – “After all, deciding whether to obey an illegal order requires thinking about whether the order is legal or not. 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

Iran warns it will strike US bases if attacked – “There is deep “mistrust” in relations between Washington and Tehran following last year’s strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, Abbas Araghchi has said -rt

Kiev Left With Few Hours Of Power Per Day In Subzero Temps – “Ukraine and Russia have just wrapped up a second round of US-mediated negotiations in Abu Dhabi, but overnight Ukrainian cities were hit with another massive aerial attack on the national power grid.” – Tyler Durden

Here we go again – Zelensky claims Neo-Nazi junta lost only 55,000 soldiers while killing over 1,200,000 Russians – “According to classified files of the Kiev regime’s MoD leaked in August 2025, 1,739,900 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed. 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

Intrusive Bankers and Government Overreach – “Next comes the cash withdrawal, which I want to make based on money that I already deposited long ago. So it’s not as if she has to wait for my huge check to clear. The minutes start passing. She checks this. She checks that. A short line begins to form behind me. She asks me to sign a couple of things. Okay, fine. Now I’m thinking, all right, in a minute or two, I’ll be out of here. Instead, she picks up the phone and dials someone in the bank. Big Brother Speaks She turns back to me and says that her supervisor wants to know what the money is for. I am flabbergasted. This is the United States of America, right? When she tells me that her supervisor needs to know what the money is for, matter-of-factly and without hesitation, I say to her that it’s none of his business.” – Jeff Davidson  – A MUST READ.

20 Cheap Items You Can Use As Gardening Supplies – “When I first started gardening, I found that by the time I stocked up on seed trays, plant ties, protective netting, and all sorts of other garden gadgets, I ended up spending way more than I saved. The good news? You probably already have plenty of things around your house that can do the job just as well—if not better—than the store-bought stuff. And if you’re missing a few items, you can find most of them at your local dollar store without blowing your budget.” – Alan Urban

Some Extreme Cold Weather Advice, – “We have all seen the media drama these past few weeks regarding the weather. Until about 10 years ago, I never even heard the term “polar vortex”, it was just winter. Living in Maine for the past 20 + years and making through the harsh winters has been a humbling and rewarding experience. Every spring you can hear people sigh in relief. I feel sorry for the lower portion of the country that has been experiencing the extreme cold, ice and snow. It’s something that takes getting used to and it helps to have the proper clothing and gear to deal with it. Cold is cold but when the wind starts blowing, well that’s a whole different ballgame.” – Hollyberry

THE BIG PICTURE

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

Epstein Shocker: They Were Selling Babies – “What the Hell Is Going On?” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

Trump demands social-media platforms turn over lists of political dissidents – “The two-party system has all but shredded the First Amendment, which protects the rights of all Americans to speak out against their government without fear of censorship or political retribution. Remember how Donald Trump prattled on about the evils of the Biden administration censoring Americans’ online activity and how he was going to restore free speech? 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. That now seems like a distant memory.” – Leo Hohmann

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. Enoch expands on it and connects the spiritual side, including unclean spirits seeking vessels and the increase of deception in the last days. This isn’t politics. It isn’t coincidence. 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

The FDA greenlit a human trial of an “immortality elixir” containing SV40! – “I wish I were making this up, but I am not that creative.” – Sasha Latypova

The Man Who Invented Climate Change – Maurice Strong – “On his death in 2015 The Telegraph hailed Maurice Strong as the man who invented climate change, “to this day, global climate policy is still shaped by the agenda of Maurice Strong, a Canadian multimillionaire.” But to those who have looked behind the veil of corporate media propaganda, he’s known as the Godfather of climate change – Godfather , as in crime boss. 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. He was also one of Klaus Schwab’s mentors.” – Rhoda Wilson

What if Epstein is About Something Worse? – “Here is a hypothesis that’ll keep you up nights. What if all this Epstein stuff isn’t so much about exposing awfulness but about normalizing it? 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. It isn’t just a few bad apples. The entire barrel is maggoty. What did people think it would be? Did they really think that professional gangsters – people who live by force and fraud – would not be interested in diddling children? Why would they think that? They diddle us as a matter of course.” – Eric Peters  – GOOD ONE FROM ERIC AS USUAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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). The circuses — last week’s Grammy Awards, the Winter Olympics tonight, Sunday’s looming Superbowl — give off an odor of utter cultural exhaustion. 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 docs revealed Microsoft zillionaire Bill Gates conniving with the late (possibly) Jeffrey Epstein to turn pandemics and vaccines into a profitable enterprise, with a spate of email discussions years before Covid got sprung on the world.” – James Howard Kunstler

Iran is Trump’s Israeli Influence Test – “Putting America first means no dumb wars in the Middle East.” – Andrew Day

After Epstein, How Can ‘Authorities’ Maintain Legitimacy? – “Why should liars, frauds, pedophiles, and evil perverts rule over us? The devil is the father of lies. We should not be surprised when the same “authorities” who regularly tell us lies end up behaving just as wickedly as the devil, too.” J.B. Shurk

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

Trump takes down racist Truth Social post showing Obamas as apes after blowback – “The White House initially defended Trump’s post when asked for comment on Friday morning, “Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public,” Leavitt said. Trump is depicted in that video as a lion. The song “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” by The Tokens plays in the background.” – Kevin Breuninger and Dan Mangan

Trump, Pirate of the Caribbean – ” have now been here a week and I think that I have absorbed enough to attempt a little analysis, as opposed to the simple impressions I gave shortly after arrival. Those impressions remain valid however: this is not a repressive state. I had yet to see a checkpoint, that nobody had at any stage asked me who I am, what I was doing or prevented me from going anywhere, and that the shops, bars and restaurants are all functioning normally. 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

Billions In Chinese Investment To Flee Panama – Beijing Livid Over Canal Ports Decision – “China is lashing out at Panama after the country’s top court torpedoed a key Chinese-linked operations contract at the Panama Canal, warning that the Central American nation “will inevitably pay a heavy price” if it doesn’t reverse course. Under immense US pressure from the Trump White House, Panama’s Supreme Court last week ruled to void the operating license of Hong Kong–based CK Hutchison for ports on both ends of the canal – Balboa on the Pacific side and Cristóbal on the Atlantic.” – Tyler Durden

I hope that those that are running our military understand this. On Thursday, the White House once again warned that war is an option if negotiations fail…” – Michael Snyder

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

THE BIG PICTURE

The Trap and Insanity of Reliance on a Pre-planned, Politically-Motivated Government ‘Constitution’ – “It seems that every single day, someone who claims to support freedom, and claims to be anti-State, refers to the U.S. Constitution as the arbiter of liberty. This non-thinking is literally asinine, as I have pointed out so many times over the past few decades. Of course, any review of history, of the direction taken by this country, or of what the actual outcome of this authority-driven society has become, would alarm any thinking individual and cause him to question the very idea of worshipping or supporting some intentionally-crafted political document meant to create and sustain a domineering centralized federal system with unlimited power. Reliance on any constitution is in fact an admission that the false authority of government is the giver of ‘rights’ and freedom; this a blatant contradiction of all natural rights of man.” – Gary D. Barnett  – INTERESTING TAKE FROM GARY AS USUAL!!!!!!

Locked Down. Rounded Up. Warehoused. The Rise of America’s Concentration Camps – “In 2021, amid a global pandemic, warnings that the federal government might repurpose warehouses into detention facilities on American soil were dismissed as speculative, alarmist, even conspiratorial. Five years later, what was speculation is a blueprint for locking up whomever the government chooses to target. This is no longer a warning. It is a five-alarm fire. With the Trump administration moving forward with plans to rapidly acquire warehouses for what could become a nationwide mass detention network, it’s no longer a question of whether the government will expand mass detention to lock up Americans for defying its mandates but when. This is how it begins. The government already has the means, the muscle and the motivation. It has spent decades building a vast archipelago of prisons, detention centers, and emergency facilities capable of imprisoning large numbers of people.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

The official excuse for the new laws is that the government is trying to protect children, which of course is complete and utter garbage. The reality is both Australian federal and state governments do not give a flying fuck about child welfare. If they did, they would not display such an enduring and disgusting tolerance for pedophilia, and such a dogged determination to expose young children to adult sexual themes. It was Australian politicians, remember, that tried to force drag queen book readings for children and gender reassignment without parental knowledge down our throats.” – Anthony Colpo

Trump’s Silence Speaks Volumes – “It’s becoming damned difficult for people like me who want to see America become great again to refrain from pointing out that Donald Trump and his people are hot flaming garbage piles that are making America worse again. This Jeannine Pirro thing, for instance. She is Trump’s appointee – and is currently U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. Here is what she said the other day, in case you missed it: “You bring a gun into the District, you mark my words, you’re going to jail. Mark her words? Sounds a little threatening. A little eager. She doesn’t care whether you are a law abiding gun owner. She wags her finger and says, “You bring a gun into this District, count on going to jail and hope you get the gun back.” Pirro didn’t have to say any of this. Just as Trump did not have to say anything about Massie’s wife or his marriage. But she – like him – said it anyhow. Good. Now we know who we’re dealing with. Trump’s silence is complicity. He ought to have fired Patel – who is a “patriot” in the same way that the Patriot Act is “patriotic.” He ought to fire this Jeannine Pirro creature, too. Her utterances are inexcusable. Yet he has said nothing. This means he is okay with what she said. Probably because she – like that Patel thing – is loyal and Trump values that above everything else.” – Eric Peters

Say Goodbye to the Second Amendment—and Most of the Others as Well! – “Most of Trump’s administration has been notoriously right-wing, and everyone would have assumed that nearly all its members fell into that pro-gun camp. Yet as the exact circumstances of the Pretti killing became known, an ideological reversal of staggering proportions immediately occurred. As they defended and justified the ICE killing, Trump officials seemed to be arguing that federal agents were authorized to summarily execute any American citizen who exercised his legal right to own and carry a handgun.” – Ron Unz

If You’re Free to Complain about Fascism, You Don’t Live in a Fascist Country. – “Just a little PSA for the folks who are clearly confused. Trump is arguably bombastic. He is egomaniacal. He can be rude and misogynistic and childish. He fires off 3 A.M. Twitter tantrums like a drunk raccoon, insults world leaders to their faces, and was busted bragging about grabbing women by the… lady parts. If he were your uncle, no one would blame you for not inviting him to your wedding. But a dictator he is not. Let me prove it:… So when the likes of Cher and Jim Carrey and John Legend and Bette Midler and George Clooney and Kathy Griffin and Bruce Springsteen use their public platforms to call out Trump’s fascist takeover of America, their claims collapse under their own weight. Because real authoritarianism doesn’t let you complain about authoritarianism. That’s sort of the whole point.” – Jenna McCarthy

They Are All Part Of One Big Club And You Should Be Thankful That You Aren’t In It – “Has anyone ever been more connected than Jeffrey Epstein? That is a serious question. Personally, I have never heard of anyone that has spent more time socializing with the rich and famous than Epstein. We are told that he was some sort of a financier, but in reality he seemed to spend almost all of his time hanging out with his elitist friends. Prior to being convicted, Jeffrey Epstein was a pillar of the New York social scene. Everyone wanted to know him, and that included many of the most powerful men in the world.” – Michael Snyder

Florida Makes Gold & Silver Official Means of Payment – “The Florida legislature has begun to move legislation to enact their prior approval for gold and silver coins to be legal tender in Florida. This legislation will exempt gold and silver coins from sales tax in Florida. It also means that within Florida, there will be a means of payment independent of digital money created by governments for the purpose of controlling the population, it’s behavior, and it’s expressed views, in order that governments can rule via official narratives. It is possible that if circumstances develop the tyrants in Washington will establish martial law in Florida and dispense with the use of real money in place of digital money that has no physical existence. Unless all states adopt the legalization of gold and silver as legal tender, Floridians would be unable to make out of state payments and would have to become an economy unto itself, producing all of its own needs. This is the safest and most preferable way to exist.” – Paul Craig Roberts

What AI Does to Jobs. And Paychecks.- “In fact, automation already replaced all the jobs. Over and over. Consider that in the 1800’s almost everybody was a farm laborer. Now 4 in 5 American jobs are services — from cubicle drone to bartender. In Hong Kong it’s almost 90%. But here’s the key: Bartending or chair-making don’t pay much today. But they pay a lot after AI and robots. Just like the industrial revolution, the reason AI and robots take jobs is because they’re massively cheaper. Massively cheaper massively raises incomes. So the industrial revolution replaced stolen farm jobs with service jobs that paid 10 times more. Essentially, workers took a step down on the escalator. But automation sent that escalator up 10-fold.” – Peter St Onge

Weight-loss jabs ‘causing surge in gallbladder removal surgery’ – “The NHS in England carried out 80,196 gallbladder operations in 2024-25 – the highest number in the past decade and a 15 per cent increase on the previous year. Surgeon Ahmed Ahmed, president of the British Obesity and Metabolic Specialist Society, said ‘more and more’ of his patients having these operations tell him they have taken weight loss jabs. The medications, called GLP-1 receptor agonists, were first developed as a treatment for type 2 diabetes. A number of the drugs are recommended on the NHS to help people lose weight, including semaglutide, under the brand name Wegovy, and tirzepatide, also known as Mounjaro. One side-effect is an increased risk of gallstones, which are hardened deposits of digestive fluid in the gallbladder. But, rapid weight loss, a diet low in fibre and high in fat, and obesity can also lead to gallstones.” – David Olaseinde

Why Does Trump Hate Massie? – “Trump just dropped another abuse-screed directed at Republican Rep. Thomas Massie – who supports Trump’s agenda most of the time – except when it comes to supporting the state of Israel’s endless demand for unquestioning support. Trump considers Massie a blue-haired Leftist – something like that – for not marching in lockstep. This is characteristic of Trump. He effuses praise for those who praise him – as he did when Marjorie Taylor Green supported him. That effusing reverses the moment the formerly praised person steps even slightly out of line. Trump called MTG a “traitor” for publicly parting ways with his line about the Epstein Stuff being a “hoax” after Trump spent a lot of time urging his followers to believe it wasn’t. Now Trump is on Massie’s ass – because Massie has dared to put America rather Trump – and the the Israeli state and its money-machine first. ” – Eric Peters

This DIY ‘Ghost Fence’ Works Better Than Electric Fencing – With No Power Needed – “If you’ve never heard of a ghost fence, that’s no surprise. Most fences are defined by barbed wire, chain links, or are electrified. They’re all relatively expensive and require varying degrees of maintenance. In the case of electrified fences, they’re not only expensive to operate but also dangerous and often unreliable. Heavy snow shorts out the fence and, in some areas, can even result in an increase in insurance premiums. Barbed wire fences can actually harm animals, especially pets and even people. And then there’s the ghost fence. A ghost fence is not as visible as most fences and never electrified. It’s usually defined by thin wire, poly ropes, or other cordage. ” – Steve Nubie

The acronym refers to connected vehicles that are an integral part of the socalled “Internet of Things.” They are vehicles that are the diametric opposite of the truly autonomous vehicles we have been driving since the invention of the first cars more than a century ago until beginning – roughly – about a decade ago. Autonomous cars are under our control. They cannot be controlled by anyone (or anything) else at a distance. Connected cars are just that.

They put their bodies on the line for the Minneapolis theater kid communist insurrection. Walz, Frey, Ellison, Omar, BlueSky, and Signal group chats whipped them up with virtue signaling bukkake.

It was billed by organizers as a coordinated protest against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). But the reality is much more sinister. Parents and policymakers should be asking themselves why government schools are radicalizing children, instead of teaching them how to read, write, or do math. Federal data show that less than one-third of the students are proficient in any core subject. As these protests demonstrate, the battle for America’s future is playing out in classrooms right now.” – Alex Newman

Feds Identify “Leader of Antifa” – “The list they’re creating says so, anyway. Twenty-nine year old Chandler Patey has been regularly protesting outside his local ICE facility in South Portland for months, offering up his apartment to fellow protesters to use the bathroom or wash off pepper spray, according to local news. To the Department of Homeland Security, “he is the leader of Antifa in Portland, OR.” That phrase appears in an internal report produced by DHS, the largest law enforcement agency in the country. As they see it, Patey—a young man accused of no crime and who looks like a random protester plucked off the streets of Minneapolis—is a domestic terrorist. Documents leaked to me show Patey and countless other American protesters have been branded as domestic terrorists. As a result, their private information is now being collected and stored in a DHS intelligence system shown below. The government’s elevation of an ordinary citizen like Patey to terrorist mastermind is the result of a subtle bureaucratic process revealed in this and other DHS documents I’ve obtained. They show that since almost the beginning of the Trump administration, DHS has been desperate to pull together evidence—no matter how thin—of an epidemic of left-wing domestic terrorism.

The MeidasTouch YouTube channel is one of my favorite sources on the Epstein files, as they have millions of followers in social media with a larger audience than most corporate news networks. They were the first ones to notice that the DOJ quickly removed one document that was very damaging to Trump, and after they reposted a saved copy on their Substack Page, the DOJ restored it after it went viral in social media. Many victims’ identities were not redacted, re-traumatizing them and leading some to speculate that this was on purpose, to punish them.

Silver’s 40% Crash Was the Most Predictable Disaster of 2026 – “The precious metals frenzy that wasn’t about the dollar at all — and the Chinese fraud story that proves it. Let’s do a quick check-in on the economy. This matters. On Wednesday, silver hit $117 an ounce. By Friday, it was $73. That’s not a correction. That’s a 40% single-day crash — the kind of move that wipes out leveraged accounts, liquidates retail portfolios, and sends financial Twitter into full existential meltdown mode. Silver went from $79 to $117 in thirteen trading sessions. Thirteen. That’s not a market. That’s a meme stock. And as Mike Green put it in a recent interview, that’s effectively what silver became — momentum chasing dressed up in hard-money rhetoric. The “dollar is dying” crowd had one data point: precious metals going up. That was it. One market, one interpretation, one narrative — and an army of retail speculators pouring money into something they fundamentally misunderstood.” – Justin Hart  – JUSTIN BRINGS UP SOME VERY GOOD POINTS HERE.

The True Dollar Price to Redeem an Ounce of Gold – “As of October 2025, the date of the most recently released monetary statistics by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, the monetary base was $5.3019 trillion. The US Treasury has not changed its report of gold holdings for several decades nor has its holdings been audited for several decades, despite valiant efforts by congressmen such as Ron Paul. The reported amount is 261.5 million ounces of gold. The math is straightforward: Divide the monetary base’s roughly five trillion dollars by the Treasury’s 261.5 million ounces to get $20,275 as the price to redeem an ounce of gold. Put another way, as the last dollar is presented to the Treasury the last ounce of gold would be handed over.” – Patrick Barron

The phrase “solar-powered generator” creates a mental picture that doesn’t match reality. Many people imagine a box that magically pulls energy from the sun and runs their home like nothing happened. That’s not how it works. What you’re actually buying is a large battery with an inverter, paired with solar panels that recharge it. The battery does the heavy lifting, while the sun only refills what gets used. This matters because batteries have limits. Once drained, they need time and sunlight to recover. In a long outage with bad weather, that recovery can be slow or impossible if it’s during winter.” – Jack

It’s Time To Accept That Civil War 2.0 Has Already Started – “Civil War 2.0 has, in fact, already kicked off in the form of a well funded far-left insurrection much like what happened in 1917 Russia. The lack of conservative organization in response has been less than impressive, and I’m here to give a warning: We are approaching the point of no return. Activists are funded by a massive shell game of NGOs hidden behind other NGOs. They are coordinated by hidden online discord servers. They receive their orders and share information in the field through encrypted Signal chats. They are trained in agitation and disruption by anonymous online meet-ups run by covert activist coordinators. They have engaged in violent attacks on ICE agents on hundreds if not thousands of occasions and few of them are ever prosecuted. This is not the behavior of a grassroots protest movement, this is the behavior of an army of covert operatives with special protections.” – Brandon Smith

Epstein files: here is what’s REALLY going on; this is a plan to PROTECT criminals – “I’m cutting through ALL the crap here.

Ferguson, now 66, replied with a crude comment about her youngest daughter, Princess Eugenie. “Not sure yet. Just waiting for Eugenie to come back from a shagging weekend!!” Ferguson wrote. The resurfaced correspondence also shed new light on Ferguson’s ongoing closeness to Epstein during that period. In another 2010 email, she reportedly told him to “just marry me.” “You are a legend. I really don’t have the words to describe, my love, gratitude for your generosity and kindness. Xx I am at your service. Just marry me,” Ferguson wrote in a January 2010 message, according to the Daily Mail.” – Olivia Salamone  – HMM, ANDREW AND FERGIE BOTH. WHO WASN’T BUDDY BUDDY WITH EPSTEIN!!!!

Hollywood Celebrities Are Losing Their Minds And Calling For “Revolution” – Tyler Durden

Bill Maher Torches Virtue-Signaling Lefty Celebs For Ditching Causes Once They’re Not The ‘Current Thing – “After another awards show shitshow of anti-Trump-ism at The Grammy’s, Bill Maher has had it with Hollywood’s relentless virtue signaling, and during his latest monologue on his HBO show Real Time with Bill Maher. And he really let the glitterati have it. “You fucking posers. Three years ago, everybody was all into Ukrainian flags. What happened to that? Another cause tossed into the junk drawer with yesterday’s choke collar?” He called virtue signaling “body ornaments” and delivered one of his trademark zingers: “They’re just crucifixes for liberals. Because every time I see one, I think, ‘Jesus Christ.’”” – Tyler Durden

Trump, New Chief of OPEC – “Oil price has been thought to correlate with US aggression abroad; expensive energy impacts the US negatively, and cheaper, more plentiful oil is a positive. It has been why we fought. This was the foundation of the Carter Doctrine, The cartel no longer OPEC, it is us. Trump also claims he effectively “owns” Canada. Our Saudi Arabian and UAE clients appear solidly dependent on Washington, and since 2003, Iraqi oil has been profiteered by the US, much as is envisioned for both Venezuela and the seducible sovereign movement in Alberta. Of the 2026 top six crude exporters, it’s the Team USA versus Russia and China.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

Affordability fact check: Trump can’t hide from higher prices – ““Just after one year of President Trump, our economy is booming. Incomes are rising. Investment is soaring. Inflation has been defeated.” That verdict was proclaimed by the highest authority in the land — President Trump himself, notifying an Iowa audience Tuesday about the transcendent blessings of his reign. It is unclear whether the 47th president believes referring to himself in the third person mesmerizes listeners as much as himself. During his 2024 presidential campaign, Trump continually promised to make life more “affordable” for Americans battered by Bidenflation. But in Iowa, Trump scoffed that Democrats “come up with this word ‘affordability.’” “First time you heard about it was like a few months ago,” he said. “You’re not hearing it so much anymore . . . because the prices are coming down so much.”” – James Bovard

Winter Storm Fern: If a Million Outages Isn’t a Failure, What Is? – “Winter Storm Fern exposed deep structural fragility in the U.S. power grid, with outages affecting up to a million customers despite years of warnings from reliability watchdogs.

Silver Revaluation: The largest repricing event in modern monetary history. – “The great silver reset has begun: COMEX and LBMA vaults are bleeding dry as paper manipulators scramble to cover—silver’s explosive revaluation toward a 15:1 gold ratio now inevitable. Friday’s now-infamous “Silver Smash” wasn’t just another price raid — it was the most violent one-day engineered takedown in the modern history of silver trading. Over two full years of global silver mine supply — 1.58 billion ounces — were dumped on the COMEX in a single session. The result? A 40% price collapse in mere hours. But what happened after the smoke cleared is even more revealing. Open interest cratered from 317,000 contracts down to just 91,830 — meaning 1.127 billion ounces’ worth of paper silver was vaporized as positions were closed or rolled to avoid physical delivery. That’s the whole point of the raid: flush out longs, kill sentiment, and avoid facing the one thing the cartel truly fears — delivery. That extreme 345% turnover in March contracts (a major delivery month) wasn’t market “efficiency.” It was pure panic.” – The Silver Academy

Stackers get it, traders don’t – “If you successfully traded Friday’s collapse in gold and silver, well done. But be careful not to miss out on the big moves ahead. The end of the fiat currency regime is the big picture. Trying to trade this volatility is a lost cause. You may get lucky, but experience shows that nearly everyone who trades as opposed to hoards loses. The reasons are plain to see: Market makers are more powerful than you. This is because banks which own them have huge resources at their disposal to push markets wherever it suits them. Furthermore, instances of spoofing (where they place an order to influence prices without actually dealing) have led to criminal charges for the largest bullion banks and their dealers trading in gold derivatives. They do not play fair!” – Alasdair Macleod

That is direction matters more than quantity. For example a business hiring 2 employees will offset a business laying off 122 employees. Given the last expansion was a year ago, I wonder is a bit of seasonality is in play. Regardless, take the gain, but look at the comments and prices.’ – Mish

Treating Peaceful American Civilians as Enemy Combatants – ” The dangerous militarization of law enforcement agencies and the corresponding contempt for constitutional rights that those agencies exhibit began many decades ago and the situation has inexorably worsened over that long period. We have witnessed the corrosive process take place with both Democrats and Republicans in the White House. There should always be a sharp distinction between the function of the U.S. military and that of domestic law enforcement entities. The rationale for the former is to defeat a designated enemy and eliminate a national security threat. To accomplish that task means sometimes having to “kill people and break things,” as several cynics have noted. The mandate for police personnel is supposed to be very different. Their function should be to protect the life, liberty, and property of people residing in the United States by apprehending criminals who violate those rights. Unfortunately, those very different missions have become dangerously conflated in recent decades.” – Ted Galen Carpenter

Painted Into a Corner – “As everyone knows, he made a big deal – during the campaign – about it, promising that he would get to the bottom of it and let the public know all about it, if he got re-elected. Then he got reelected and all of a sudden, the former fervor to spill the details began to wane, until it disappeared altogether. It was just a “hoax,” the re-elected president snapped. One confected by Democrats – which is an interesting assertion given that so many prominent Democrats, including Bill Clinton have been linked to Epstein in ways that look pretty damning. A hypothesis that perhaps makes some sense is that Trump believed he could make a campaign issue of the Epstein Stuff and that people would forget all about it after the campaign. Like they did his “lock her up” promises – if anyone remembers those. This is perhaps the key to understanding Trump’s art of the deal. He is a dog-whistler par excellence. He says what he knows his audience wants to hear – and then does nothing (or even the opposite, as for example his sudden priapism for regime-changing). In any event, Trump now finds himself painted into the corner he painted himself into.

That would set us up for a recovery.” – Greg Hunter – WELL, YOU KNOW THIS ONE IS NOT HAPPENING ACCORDING TO TRUMP ABOVE!!!

Problems With Friday’s Late Silver Price Smash – “What The… Friday’s New York silver price smash while most silver markets were closed for the weekend is curious: Nothing changed on Friday in the terms of silver metal supply to market reducing the global silver shortage that has driven silver’s price higher. The open interest (total contracts) on the CME COMEX ended down just 5% on the day indicating that the trading on that day was just a churn with little covering or new positions despite the massive ~ 2x average daily volume traded on Friday. The CME COMEX has ‘circuit breakers’ in the silver market that halt trading for a period if extreme price movements occur to allow for a more orderly market. What the CME COMEX calls dynamic circuit breakers automatically kick-in when the price of silver drops or rises by 10% on a rolling 1 hour basis. We can see in Figure 1. below that from ~ 12:30 to ~ 13:30 Eastern Time, the price of silver – both cash/spot and futures – ranged between $91 /oz. and $75 /oz., representing an 18% range, and yet the CME COMEX automatic circuit breakers were not activated nor announced by the CME. Yesterday, I wrote a letter to the CME asking why this exception to CME COMEX rules occurred and will report their response when received. Either way, nothing changed on Friday affecting the ongoing global silver shortage. Only wild trading of digital CME futures contracts while other global markets were closed. We’ll find out soon if the CME really is in shambles.” – David Jensen

$7 trillion silver massacre: circuit breakers vanish, 1.8 billion oz dumped, and the Silver 10 Commandments tell you to take the other side – “An erased $7 trillion, exposed a rigged paper casino, froze circuit breakers, and triggered a global physical buying frenzy that birthed the Silver Ten Commandments. In 24 hours, the silver market did not “correct” — it was attacked. A 10-sigma crash is not bad luck; it is engineered chaos, the violent birth pangs of a dying monetary order and the opening shots of a new one. This was not price discovery; it was price destruction. CME hiked silver margins to 11% of notional effective January 28, detonating anyone who chased the breakout on thin collateral. Specs who went long around $25,000 per contract suddenly faced north of $60,000 at triple-digit silver — a forced liquidation trap, not an accident. Paper longs were slaughtered, not because physical collapsed, but because leverage did.” – The Silver Academy

Governments Can Fix Money Fast. Here Is Why They Will Not Do It – “no government seems to want to control spending and eliminate constant artificial currency creation, even knowing that, by doing so, they would limit the risk of financial crises, excessive risk-taking, and erosion of citizens’ wage purchasing power.” – Daniel Lacalle

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

Love is but a song we sing
Fear’s the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry
Though the bird is on the wing
And you may not know why

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now

Some may come and some may go
We will surely pass
When the one that left us here
Returns for us at last
We are but a moment’s sunlight
Fading in the grass

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now

If you hear the song I sing
You will understand (listen!)
You hold the key to love and fear
All in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both
It’s there at your command

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now

(I said) Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now
Right now

DOESN’T GET ANY BETTER WHEN YOU HAVE JACKSON BROWNE SINGING HARMONY AND STEPHEN STILLS AND GRAHAM NASH AS BACKUP SINGERS

THE BIG PICTURE

I Didn’t Hear An Apology from the World Economic Forum. Did You? – “Those jackasses nearly brought down the world. They will skate with impunity. I want their wealth confiscated and given to us. Tax-free. To wit they poisoned our food, poisoned the air, drove us into unhealthy cities, which they, methodically, ruined. This last was across the world. In China they built ghost cities. Still empty. In the U.S. and Canada, they drove twenty million of us out of rural regions and planned for many many more, all to be warehoused around strip malls and big box stores. City folk are easier to brand and track like cattle, you see, every thought recorded, every gesture measured to extract more profit. While the globalists are diminishing our lives. Every time I think about this I hear the word “foreshorten”. That’s what they have done to us over the past decades.” – Elizabeth Nickson

‘They’ve Given Up on the Country’: Inside the Financial Coup (VIDEO) with Catherine Austin Fitts – “I thought I understood the economy pretty well until I saw the extraordinary amount of money that the government is running outside the law. The president of the largest pension fund in the country was there and he looked  at me and he said, “You don’t understand. It’s too late.” I said, “What do you mean it’s too late?” He said, “It’s too late. They’ve given up on the country and they’re going to move all the money out of the country starting in the fall.” But what I later came to realize was what he was talking about was they were implementing a financial coup. They decided to move to a process where essentially the bankers controlled both fiscal and monetary policy. They were going to do it on the just do it method and lever up the debt, issue tons of debt and suck all the money out the back door and and [music] essentially have a financial coup d’eta, which is exactly what I think has happened.” – Andy Schectman / Miles Franklin Media

“SO THEY JUST DIE OUT.”How and why to kill 6 billion people. Stop them from reproducing. – “SO THEY JUST DIE OUT. It is like they are talking about gnats, or poisonous snake eaters. A species genocide for 6 billion people. Sounds so Gates, doesn’t it. The video is a series of rabbis indicating all Christians and the entire west, and at least 6 billion people must die.”- Lawyer Lisa.

Is Canada Really Warming? – “Is Canada really warming at double the global average rate, as the Canadian government says it is? A new report says no, because the data Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) uses are apparently corrupted by fundamental mistakes, mistakes so severe that when corrected, all the supposed warming of the past six or seven decades vanishes.” – Tom Harris

NHS gets midwives to fill in ‘farcical’ forms with no option to record biological sex and instead ask parents what their newborn baby’s ‘gender identity’ is – “It is understood the US software, embedded with the options to appease trans rights activists who had successfully lobbied the Biden administration for their inclusion, has been adopted in at least ten NHS trusts.” – Jacinta Taylor

The DOJ took down those files 20 minutes later, but not until some people archived them.” – Mish  – IF TRUE, I GUESS WE CAN PUT HIM UP THERE WITH THE INCESTUOUS PEDOPHILE, JOE BIDEN, WHO TOOK SHOWERS WITH HIS OWN DAUGHTER WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER!!!

Don Lemon Arrest Raises First Amendment Questions – “A press pass isn’t a ‘Get Out of Jail Free’ card. While journalists are free to report in public spaces, they do not have unfettered access to private property like Cities Church. Unlike standard private property, churches also have additional safeguards established by the First Amendment and the FACE Act, which protects “any person lawfully exercising or seeking to exercise the First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship” Journalist or Activist? Now let’s take a look at Lemon’s role in the church attack. Just before disrupting the Christian service, Lemon revealed on camera that he had prior knowledge of a “resistance” group’s plan to storm the church. While “reporting,” he deliberately left out key information about the “operation” to keep it a “surprise.”” – Elizabeth Lawrence

Trump’s Profiteering Hits $4 Billion In August, – “I reported that the President and his family had made $3.4 billion by leveraging his position. After his first year back in office, the number has ballooned. At the start of Donald Trump’s first term, he promised that he and his family would never do anything that might even be “perceived to be exploitive of office of the Presidency.” By contrast, his second term looks rapacious. He and members of his family have signed a blitz of foreign mega-deals shadowed by conflicts of interest, and they’ve launched at least five different cryptocurrency enterprises, all of which leverage Trump’s status as President to lure buyers or investors. Ethics watchdogs say that no other President has ever so nakedly exploited his position, or on such a scale.” – David D. Kirkpatrick

They Controlled Silver For A Decade… Then One Internal Memo Broke Their Stranglehold – “Normally, when people say “something big just happened,” what they really mean is they hope something big happens. That’s not what this is. This is the kind of shift that doesn’t announce itself with fireworks. It shows up quietly—early in the morning, written in careful language, circulated to people whose job is to keep problems from ever reaching daylight. When those people start using words like urgent and liquidation, you pay attention. Now, new documentation pointing to the single most important turning point in modern silver market history is public: the moment JPMorgan stopped being the wall… and started scrambling to get out from under it.” – Bill Heid  – HAVE HEARD ABOUT THIS SO-CALED MEMO, BUT HAVE SEEN NO ACTUAL DOCUMENTATION. IF TRUE, THOUGH, COULD EXPLAIN THE DROP YESTERDAY BESIDES JUST BEING A SUDDEN CORRECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Market At Risk Of Correcting In A ‘Risk-Off’ Reset? (VIDEO) with Lance Roberts – “Stocks have been stuck in a compressing trading range for the past several months. And recently they’ve broken down below it. That development, plus a number of other headwinds weighing on the markets, suggests that stocks could experience a ‘risk-off reset’ soon, falling substantially lower.” – Adam Taggart | Thoughtful Money®

Why $3 Gasoline Won’t Last – “This month, Trump has been boasting about gasoline being under $3 per gallon in most states throughout the country. But his bragging will backfire as multiple forces conspire to push prices higher. Along with precious metals, oil and gas prices are surging as inflation rips. They’re screaming in unison that CPI and Treasury yields are going to rip higher as well, leading to a higher cost of borrowing for already debt-addled Americans who are struggling to stay afloat.” – Peter Schiff

Silver’s 27% Drop, in Context – “At times like this, it’s important to remember how far we’ve come over the past 18 months. Both miners and bullion are still up hugely, and the miners would still look attractive even if we go down to $3,500 gold and $60 silver. Perspective is everything. If you had told me a year ago that silver would be trading at $83 and miners would be up 2x to 4x, I’d have been beyond thrilled. But now it seems like a disaster. That’s just how our brains work. When we set a new high water mark in our portfolios, that becomes the norm. So let’s keep that in mind. This correction is a tough one, but my belief is there’s still much more upside ahead on the other side of it.” – Adam Sharp  – GOOD ONE FROM ADAM. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I SAID YESTERDAY. KEEP A PERSPECTIVE ON ALL OF THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Volatile Day, Not a Broken Thesis – “Today’s sell-off in precious metals was painful to watch, especially after a strong run. Gold saw one of its sharpest one-day drops in decades and silver had an even steeper down move, driven largely by a surging U.S. dollar, profit-taking after an extended rally, and a sudden reset in rate expectations. The most important point is this: a sharp down day does not mean the long-term thesis is broken. We’ve always said markets don’t move in a straight line, and precious metals—by their nature—tend to deliver their volatility in bursts.” – Jim Nelson, CFA

COMEX in Crisis: The Western Silver Racket Implodes as China and India Take Control – “1st Chicago Trust went down, it wasn’t just another regional bank failure — it was the first visible crack in the bullion banking dam, a casualty of the massive unhedged short positions that detonated. Yesterday’s sudden collapse of a mid-sized Chicago bank wasn’t an isolated failure — it was a pressure valve blowing in the heart of the Western financial system. For months, whispers have circulated through bullion circles: major Western banks were hopelessly short on gold and silver, trapped in positions so toxic they threatened to consume their balance sheets. Yesterday’s 10-sigma crash — the one that vaporized trillions in notional value across metals futures — wasn’t organic. It was too precise, too engineered, too coordinated. Veteran traders recognize the scent of intervention. According to credible theories circulating among insiders, this “accident” was a deliberate act.” – The Silver Academy

Burning It All To the Ground – “The real rot isn’t in the back alleys of trafficking or dope deals. It’s right there in the stock tickers and rigged asset prices, sucking $10 to $20 trillion a year out of the world’s pockets—and that’s been going on for over a century, clean and legal-like. Well, not exactly legal. Fraud, corruption, vice and human smuggling? Drug runs? They pull in maybe $2 trillion tops, year after year. Small change. Peanuts next to the big steal. Organized crime isn’t just about the cash, though. It’s a tool. A private army, funded by its own dirt, ready to scare, beat, or bury anyone sniffing too close to the financial heist. They own the shadows in every town, outgunning the cops who only hassle the little and the good guy. Social rifts? They’re stoked on purpose, poured gasoline on with billions. Race wars, culture clashes, flag-waving bullshit—none of it matters except to keep us fighting each other blind. Can’t spot the thieves when you’re punching your neighbor.” – E.M. Burlingame  – GOOD READ FROM E.M. TODAY!!!

ICE Must Get Off The Streets NOW! – “From the beginning of Trump’s current term in office, I repeatedly said that while I agree with the effort to remove illegal aliens from the U.S., I had deep concerns over the way Donald Trump would go about it. What Trump is doing justifies my concerns. In the first place, most federal “law enforcement” agencies are unconstitutional, including the agencies created under the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI. The Constitution clearly charges states and local communities with the responsibility of domestic law enforcement, NOT the federal government. In the second place, the Posse Comitatus Act, which became law in 1878, absolutely prevents the use of federal troops from enforcing domestic laws. Specifically, the law was passed due to the abusive conduct of Union troops to police elections in the recently subjugated Southern states. In the third place, the hypocrisy of both the Left and the Right is off the charts. And seeing what’s currently happening under Donald Trump, MAGA and evangelicals, I postulate that the political Right has become ten times the greater threat to liberty than the political Left. Pick your poison: Fascism or Communism. They are equally evil.” – Chuck Baldwin

Dear ICE Protestors: We Need to Talk – “It’s been a rough few months out there. You’ve shown up. You’ve resisted. You’ve rallied. You’ve organized. You’ve made signs. So. Many. Signs. You’ve launched illegal fireworks, damaged property, blocked traffic, broken the law, bashed in windows, assaulted agents, and berated scores of strangers simply for doing their jobs. You must be exhausted. I see you. I feel you. I am in awe of your stamina. So let’s pretend, for argument’s sake and to give you a desperately-needed break, you win. Let’s pretend all the chanting, the honking, the whistling, the street-blocking, the papier-mâché puppets, the Sharpie signs, the interpretive screaming, and the celebrity Instagram threats finally break the will of the federal government and ICE collapses under the sheer weight of your moral outrage. Congratulations. I just have one question: Now what? No, seriously. What’s your plan? Because tragically, our towns are teeming with dangerous, law-breaking repeat offenders—many of them wanted for horrific, unspeakable crimes here and in other countries. Blaming ICE for trying to remove them would be like blaming the home inspector for finding asbestos in the dream house you just fell in love with.” – Jenna McCarthy  – OBVIOUSLY WE DON’T WANT TO TURN INTO A POLICE STATE AND IT’S LOOKING LIKE IT MORE AND MORE; BUT JENNA RAISES A GREAT POINT, “WHAT IS THEIR PLAN”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Three Possibilities – “Many of us are trying to understand why Trump has been doing the things he’s been doing lately – because they seem to be destructive things, as regards the political palatability (and so, viability) of MAGA. It was weird – and a little appalling – when Trump suddenly sicced the military on Venezuelan speedboats, blowing not just them but also their helpless occupants into oblivion. Then Trump sent in the Hut! Hut! Hut! crew to literally kidnap a foreign head of state. Whatever you think about Maduro, he was the president of Venezuela. Where did Trump get the authority to just remove a foreign head of state? Then there’s Greenland. All of a sudden it is a strategic – and existential – necessity for America to annex it. Never mind that there is already an American base there and it’s not 1945 anymore. Most recently, Trump has made public anti-gun utterances after his FBI director made similar utterances. So, why? What is going on with Trump? There are arguably three main possibilities. The first is that he’s being ill-advised. The second possibility is that he is not right in the head. The third possibility is the one that’s hard to consider. It is that all of this deliberate. ” – Eric Peters

How Donald Trump Lost The Plot * – “Make America Great Again. Who, that is actually an American, wouldn’t want that? It has the ring of a slogan that could have come to symbolize a generation or more of positive, durable change — much like Reagan’s “Its Morning in America.” As with all slogans they’re marketing messages and thus contain the term of art known as “puffery” in the legal world; this is why when you buy a new car advertised by a sexy young thing and don’t get laid you can’t sue over your lack of new-found luck in the sack. So here we are roughly a year into Trump’s second term and yet where is the alleged progress? There hasn’t been any, unless you measure “progress” in the price of stocks, of course.” – Karl Denninger

The Ruthlessness and Brutality of the U.S. Government – “I have long maintained that one of the big obstacles libertarians face in the achievement of a genuinely free society is the fact that most Americans honestly believe they are free. After all, how can a society genuinely be considered free when the government wields the omnipotent power to kill anyone it wants? And make no mistake about it: As we have seen, U.S. officials have the omnipotent power to kill any American they want. That’s a harsh reality that so many Americans still do not want to accept.” – Jacob G. Hornberger

After the Exit: How California Quietly Re-Routed the World Health Organization – “Within days of the U.S. withdrawal becoming official, California Governor Gavin Newson announced that California had become the first and only U.S. state to join a World Health Organization–coordinated global outbreak response network, the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN). This was not a press-release coincidence. It was a workaround. States are not sovereign nations. They do not conduct foreign policy. They do not enter treaties. And yet, here we are. California now participates in a WHO-coordinated international response network after the federal government has formally withdrawn from the same institutional ecosystem. Supporters insist this confers no regulatory authority and imposes no international mandates. That may be technically true. But it misses the deeper point.” – Sayer Ji

MARKETS Silver drops 30%, gold tumbles 10% as Trump Warsh pick eases Fed independence fear, triggers dollar rally – “The sharp moves down were initially triggered by reports of Warsh’s nomination. However, they gained steam in afternoon U.S. trading as investors who piled into the metals raced to book profits. Metals were also under pressure as the dollar spiked higher, making it more expensive for foreign investors to buy gold and silver. “This is getting crazy,” said Matt Maley, equity strategist at Miller Tabak. “Most of this is probably ‘forced selling.’ This has been the hottest asset for day traders and other short-term traders recently. So, there has been some leverage built up in silver. With the huge decline today, the margin calls went out.”’ – Chloe Taylor   – KEEP A PERSPECTIVE ON ALL OF THIS, IF YOU HAD BOUGHT SILVER ON JAN 2 IT WAS AROUND $72.

All this suggests that the sharp falls on Comex were purely technical, and the passing of February contracts should see a rebound in prices in the next week or two. ” – Alasdair Macleod

Is Warsh the Needle This Current Stock Market Bubble Was Looking For? – “I must be blunt: I did NOT see Warsh coming as the Fed Chair. His entire career he’s been hawkish. Indeed, once he left the Fed in 2017, he’s launched some of the most scathing attacks on the Fed of any public official.Given that the Trump administration has made it clear it wants the Fed to ease monetary conditions, Warsh is an odd choice. I assume the President made this pick based on his usual criteria: loyalty over alliance to the President’s goals. The markets are certainly confused by this pick. ” – Graham Summers, MBA

Is it really that, however? Are the layoffs at the country’s number 2 employer a sign that jobs markets in this country are continuing to deteriorate, or are they starting to improve despite Amazon’s job cuts? The answer is unclear, because the data is unclear.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Europe’s Industrial Base is Imploding – “The German economy — the powerhouse of Europe — grew for the first time in 4 years, by a laughable 0.2% And even that was entirely bought with government money.
