THE BIG PICTURE

America After 9/11: 25 Years of Fear, War, Surveillance and Permanent Emergency – “Twenty-five years after 9/11, one has to ask: has the nightmare ever really ended? For a quarter-century, Americans have been governed by fear: fear of terrorists and foreign enemies, fear of domestic extremists and political opponents, fear of the next attack, the next crisis, the next emergency. That fear has given us endless war, mass surveillance, militarized police, secret courts, indefinite detention, government watchlists, domestic military deployments and an imperial presidency armed with powers that would have been unthinkable before 9/11. Now the man entrusted with the imperial powers of the modern-day presidency is publicly imagining himself enthroned over robotic armies, raining destruction on his enemies and promising nightmares. The imagery may be unhinged from reality, but the powers of the presidency are not.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

September 11, 2001 – An Essential Guide (2026) – “Sept 11, 2001 has been and still is a 25 year long PSYOP.” – 9/11 Revisionis  – A WEALTH OF INFORMATION HERE. DEFINITELY BOOKMARK AND SAVE THIS ONE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!!!

9/11 and the Creation of America 2.0- 25 Years Later – “Remembering one of the biggest of the big lies It took me about two minutes, until I first saw video of the South Tower collapsing, to realize this was a giant psyop. The notion that 19 crazed Arabs, armed only with box cutters and plastic knives, had brought these wonders of modern engineering down, along with blowing a hole in the Pentagon, was something I immediately rejected.” – Donald Jeffries

Life is a Gift, Even if You Want to Exchange It Sometimes – Kate Dreston

The Truth About the Truth: It’s a Right We Never Had It turns out, our elected officials are under no obligation whatsoever not to lie to us. There is, in fact, no “constitutional right to truth” from the government… at all. Ever. Not even if they knowingly tell you something is safe and you believe them and it physically harms or kills you or someone you love. So that’s a delightful little wrinkle.” – Jenna McCarthy

Anthropic Is Building a Predictive Surveillance System to Monitor Activists – “New hires and comments in interviews show that the AI giant is using its capabilities against dissenters. In addition to monitoring activists in the vicinity of Anthropic executives and keeping tabs on protests near physical Anthropic assets, the firm is also implementing a “pre-crime” approach, attempting to predict incidents before they happen. In some cases, that also means reporting suspects to police before a crime occurs. Anthropic did not respond to the Prospect’s request for comment. Anthropic’s plans to surveil dissent are at odds with the firm’s efforts to cast itself as the responsible alternative to OpenAI” – Daniel Boguslaw

Reflections from the Heart of the Empire: Warning Signs – “Trump’s not worried. Thanks to his manipulating the markets for the last six months(gamblers investors can be so stupid), his economy is doing Grrreatt!

Huckabee told the BBC that the UK’s planned ban on Israeli settlement goods would be a “discrimination against the Jewish people”.” – Via Middle East Eye   – WHY SHOULD THE U.S. RETALIATE.

Israeli PM Netanyahu was reportedly warned about October 7 attacks 10 days beforehand, did nothing to step up security – “The attacks have been used to justify three years of endless wars, including the one against Iran. Should we be surprised by an Israeli government that funds Hamas through a secret deal with Qatar?” – Leo Hohmann

Trump Claims Firefighters Rescued Him From 9/11 Ground Zero: “Got To Get Out Of Here!” – “Widespread reports have long documented that he was miles away from Ground Zero on that fateful day, but now he’s using language as if he was a victim or barely escaped, or as if he was so close to the action and tragedy akin to a first responder. In the below he seems to confusedly switch between settings – as is often his style – going from talking about his own claimed rescue efforts with a crew of responders, to then narrating a dramatic tale of “running” from the site as it was feared a building could come down on them.” – Tyler Durden

U.S. Finds A War It’s Willing to Declare – “New government logo chooses violence. The Department of Homeland Security has decided that the agency needs a new official seal. “We’re actually changing our seal to make it look towards the arrows because … when it looks towards the arrows is when it means we’re at war,” Secretary Markwayne Mullin revealed. So in other words, the United States is at war here at home — but Iran somehow isn’t a war. What?” – Ken Klippenstein

Despite decreasing violence, eight people were killed and 30 were wounded this weekend in shootings, mainly on the South and West sides.” – Kaitlin Washburn, Kyra Senese and Mohammad Samra

Alternative ‘Führer’ Deutschland? Alarmism over AfD win is absurd – “The shockwave reaction to the Alternative für Deutschland landslide election victory in Germany is absurdly out of proportion. It also defies any easy categorization of conventional right, left, or centrist politics. What it does signify is a massive popular protest against the warmongering political establishment in Europe and the United States” – Finian Cunningham

DEATH OF THE DOLLAR Was “the News before it Happens.” Now it Happens. – “Those days that long uplifted the bloated US debt into something financeable, even if unsightly, are dying rapidly now thanks to the combined impacts of Trump’s War with Iran and Trump’s Tariff Wars. In fact, the dollar’s death has now been declared an accomplished fact—or, at least, something that has reached the point of being irreversible—by the Japanese press” – David Haggith

Bessent Just Told Us Where Washington’s Pain Threshold Is – “At 11 a.m. today the Treasury Department will announce how many bonds intends to buy back tomorrow. Current estimates range from $5 billion to $10 billion. Against a $28 trillion Treasury market, that number is barely worth noting. But the implications from the Treasury are critical for investors.” – Graham Summers, MBA

10-Year to 30-Year Treasury Yields Jump after Bessent Reveals Bond Buybacks for Tomorrow’s Auction – “The Treasury Department announced this morning that it would buy back a “maximum par amount” (face value) of $6 billion in Treasury bonds at the buyback auction tomorrow, tripling the amount of the bond buyback auctions that Yellen had started in April 2024. Tomorrow will be the first buyback auction under the new regime.” – Wolf Richter

The 5 Most Dangerous States in America by Crime Rate – ” Every year, over fifteen million crimes get committed on U.S. soil. Property crimes, violent crimes, the kind that leaves families shattered and neighborhoods hollowed out. And here’s the thing the Chamber of Commerce won’t tell you: even when a state posts “low” crime rates on paper, that number is a lie. Averages hide the truth. Averages let you think you’re safe until you’re not. This is about five places where you’re not safe. New Mexico. Louisiana. Tennessee. Nevada. Texas.” – John Walter

Wraith Ciphers on the Plains of Liberty – “Becoming A Consitutional Restoration Artist (CRA) and building a GHOSTS network. The Israhell connection to mass surveillance is now so blatantly obvious. The parasite is panicking and afraid of losing its host empire, so it needs to monitor its colony tax slaves at all times to keep the looting going ($15 trillion and counting since they did 9-11) for their Greater Israhell ambitions. People are just now figuring shit out. Yeah, I know you all know this, because you’re all a smart bunch, but billions of people still thought it was cool to post their entire lives on social media, including their children’s lives, as if that wasn’t going to be used against them in the future.

The Genius Act; Trade, Stablecoins and The US Treasury – “Trump’s antagonism of Canadian Prime Minister Carney backfired stupendously! Instead of the people turning toward Trump and against Carney as Trump anticipated – they rallied behind their sovereign state, its people, and its government against a Bully. It is a global embarrassment that this is how our President communicates – portraying himself as the Messiah, as God, as a General, as King, and the list goes on and on ad-nauseum. The bond market that the Soros protégé, Bessent, purposefully sent into a massive tailspin is not getting enough attention. The Bond market is wreaking chaos. When our T-Bills are worthless because the Trump regime keeps an inflation hyper-spike in motion causing our ‘faith in government debt’, to collapse – the motive is to wipe the slate clean and start over with digital payments, ie stablecoins.” – Helena Glass

Iran Picks up the Pace toward Armageddon – “As the average price of Diesel in the US hit an all-time record high over the weekend and gasoline hit an historic high for any Labor Day weekend, Iran is driving the war toward greater intensity and far more danger. That is going to put a lot more pressure on those prices. Hormuz traffic dropped back to its lowest since May over the weekend, so the intensification is working, even though the US president has repeatedly let us all know that he controls the strait. Now Iran has tightened up the tension screws by making it clear that, if it needs to respond to Trump again, it will destroy US-owned oil infrastructure throughout the Middle East and it will start destroying US Navy ships, including eventually the biggest of them all.” – David Haggith

He is livid over a decision by the UK government to ban trade with violent illegal settlers in the West Bank. Levin considers himself a constitutional lawyer. However, his interpretation of the US Constitution is highly selective. As an ardent and outspoken Zionist and defender of apartheid and genocide, he believes a boycott of Israel is not protected by the First Amendment.” – Kury Nimmo

AfD’s Historic Win Sends Reverberations of ‘Shock’ Through German Establishment – “Last night Germany’s much-maligned AfD party won a crushing and historic victory. The victory is already being downplayed by many, owing to the fact that Saxony-Anhalt is technically one of Germany’s smallest and least consequential states. But there is far more to it than sheer numbers, as the win defines a turning point not only in German but European politics, and cements the gradual downfall of the globalist ruling class that has tried desperately for decades to keep populist movements from gaining power,” – Simplicius

The Near Entirety of Americans Are Engulfed by a Nationalistic Stockholm Syndrome – “One meaningless jingoistic cliché I am subjected to constantly is “I love my country.” This gibberish for the most part is pure nonsense, and is rarely defined. When most use this term, do they love the people, land, culture, or the government? My take from all my many thousands of encounters of this phrase, is that it means I love my country right or wrong, which is pure nationalism. I say this because that is what I see and hear with my own eyes and ears. This is why many raise blood-soaked flags in honor of aggressive war. This is why most will stand hatless with their hand over their heart during the ‘national’ anthem, this is why most will pledge their dying allegiance to the State, and this is why most all perpetually worship the military and those who falsely claim to ‘serve’ the people.” – Gary D. Barnett

The Real Elites vs. The Ruling Elites – “Always and everywhere, political institutions are controlled by elites. It doesn’t matter if the regime type is democratic or monarchical. It doesn’t matter if there is a written constitution or not. All political institutions—and certainly every sovereign state—are run by a group of elites who control the means of coercion.The myth of “rule by the people” is precisely that: a myth. But this leaves a big question open: who are the elites? ” – Ryan McMaken

The campaign currently includes text messages, website pages, and audio reminder ads you can hear when shopping in CVS.

We are told that federal grant money and telecom providers have aligned to bring us “high-speed broadband” and “modern infrastructure.” What we are not told is that these fiber cables, roadside sensors, and hyperscale data hubs are not local public works at all. They are the physical pipelines for a global governance model, AND local town councils are ( I believe for the most part) unknowingly voting themselves out of a job to build it.” – Connie Shields

The State Spins a New Idea for Recruiting in an Age of War – “A recent opinion piece by a Canadian in the Jerusalem Post suggests we being moved, herded, and corralled into a better meatgrinder, to better support unnecessary wars now and in the future. It is a call for the “US taxpayer to fund ‘debt forgiveness for military service’ to enlarge the US’s standing army.” Co-dependence between Israel and the US has become a modern academic specialty. This indentured military servitude idea comes on the heels of a US government official stating to Axios that recent strikes on Iran were just “mowing the grass.” Mowing the grass is an Israeli state metaphor for the murder of “excess” men, women and children, a population linguistically reduced and dehumanized into blades of grass on a manicured lawn.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

On the contrary, the fact that it exists enables various forms of transactions to take place via sophisticated technology such as digital transfers. These various forms of transfer are not money as such but simply a particular way of transferring money. The medium of exchange is still cash—just the means of transferring that cash is different in the digital world.” – Frank Shostak

Can Two People Run a Homestead? – “A post-collapse labour audit may reveal that your retreat has more chores than workers. The self-reliant homestead is often imagined as a collection of things. A garden. A wood stove. Chickens. Stored food. A well. Fruit trees. Perhaps rabbits, goats, solar panels, a greenhouse and enough land to provide firewood. Each addition appears to increase resilience—and it can. But every system also creates work. Gardens must be planted, weeded, watered, harvested and preserved. Animals need food and water every day, regardless of weather, illness or exhaustion. Wood must be cut, split, moved and stacked. Pumps break. Fences sag. Snow blocks paths. Ash accumulates. Meals take longer when electric appliances are unavailable. A homestead is not simply a collection of resources. It is a collection of recurring obligations. That raises an uncomfortable question for the small household: Can two adults actually keep the entire operation running after a prolonged collapse?” – denob

I went there to get some paper towels and various cleaning products, hoping to get them a little cheaper than they go for at Wal Mart.

Epstein, Ring Doorbells & Axon: Israel Controls America’s National Security [Flock Part 3] – “Although this publication was supposed to be about Flock, we have to talk about, of all people, Jeffrey Epstein. It is unbelievable how many times I have written about this guy because his name keeps popping up. That said, let’s get into it… One of Epstein’s many ventures was a geolocation software company called Carbyne, which he founded with a former Israeli prime minister, Ehud Barak. The company’s executive team consisted only of former members of different branches of Israeli intelligence. In case that didn’t sink in, let me repeat it: Jewish blackmailer and child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein founded a company with an ex-Mossad agent and an Israeli prime minister. They control our emergency call system through their company called Carbyne; meanwhile, an accused pedophile artist, Koons, is part of the entity that controls our Amber Alert system.” – Agent131711 – DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE WE GO!!!

Has Big Oil Suppressed Free-Energy? Exploring the Facts Behind a Revolutionary Concept – “Wars are manufactured, stoked, and fought between nations, often overseen by state‑controlled energy giants, and our patriotic young men and women are sent to die, believing they fight for freedom or security. In truth, they fight for pipelines, access, and control. For over a century, the so‑called Seven Sisters, the massive oil companies born from the breakup of Standard Oil, have ruled the world’s energy supply. This is the reality, war has become the engine of the economy, built entirely on fossil fuels; a system that benefits only the few, destroys our natural world, and costs millions of lives. And yet, dear reader, here lies the greatest deception of all: none of this was ever necessary We have possessed the technology to move beyond burning oil, gas, coal and propane since the mid‑1800s.” – Jordan Nuttall

Amidst Defeat, Trump Says Iran War Is Not A War And Is ‘Small Potatoes,’ As US Continues To Strike Iran As Economy Continues To Crash – ““I call it a military conflict because it’s small potatoes for us. It’s not a big thing.” Earlier this week, the Energy Information Agency (EIA) did not post energy data for June due to missing information. This is unprecedented. This is not even current, up-to-date data, these are statistics from several months ago already, the government is no longer disclosing accurate information, concealing the state of just how bad things really are. The WinePress has repeatedly warned about the debilitating effects and energy crisis this “small potatoes” “military operation” would lead to, especially concerning diesel; and the fact that the EIA can’t even provide relevant data from several months ago says all that you need to know…” – The WinePress

But no sooner were the words out of his mouth than Netanyahu had him again bombing Iran at the cost of American lives and military bases. It seems certain that Netanyahu is not going to release Trump from his assigned role as the enforcer of Greater Israel.

Bessent Says the Gold Is All There. I’m Not So – “Sure. He also thinks you can still cash in your old silver certificates.. Over a month ago, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent went on Jesse Watters Primetime. Of course, it’s not the first time Bessent has come off as clueless, which conveniently brings us back to the gold question. Here’s what the auditors actually wrote: In our opinion, the Schedules present fairly, in all material respects, the balances of the United States’ Deep Storage Gold and Silver Reserves in the custody of the Mint as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Translation? They reviewed the schedules of gold reserves. Not the gold itself. And a schedule, in accounting, is exactly what it sounds like. A list.  All fine and well. It just has nothing whatsoever to do with whether there’s any metal in Kentucky. So no, they didn’t inspect, weigh, or test a single bar at Fort Knox. They reviewed a spreadsheet.” – Lau Vegys

They aren’t planning an escape from civilizational collapse. Instead, the elites plan to survive the aftermath and craft a neo-feudal system to their advantage. This is why they are accelerating the machine driving civilization to collapse. They plan to use the breakdown to gain total control. Whether or not their plan works isn’t the point.

Modest Reflections on Varying Tolerances to Extreme Pain – “Same Old Price Fixing Last week Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh delivered his debut alpha dog speech from Jackson Hole, Wyoming. It was titled “In Our Time,” and was billed as a broad blueprint for how he intends to govern. Namely, he wants a quieter Fed. This is a nice sentiment. It sounds good coming out of Jackson Hole. But it doesn’t really change anything. Wash is merely smiling through his teeth, while talking out of his neck. He says he wants to pull back the Fed’s verbal influence. Yet he wants to leave its mechanical influence completely intact. He wants a quiet central bank, but he still expects to sit in a room with twelve people every six weeks and fix the price of credit for a $28 trillion economy.” – MN Gordon

It moves the 18-wheelers that bring food to your grocery store, the tractors that plant and harvest your crops, the trains that ship raw materials, and the construction equipment that builds our homes and hospitals. When diesel prices double, the cost of every single one of those activities doubles. Farmers in the Corn Belt are facing their worst crisis in four decades as input costs skyrocket, threatening loan defaults and forcing them to reduce acreage. If the farmer can’t afford fuel to run his tractor, he doesn’t plant. If he doesn’t plant, there is no food. It is as simple and as terrifying as that.” – Mike Adams  – FOR THIS YEAR THE CROPS ARE IN AND IN THE MIDWEST THEY DON’T LOOK TOO BAD AND HARVEST TIME IS HERE, IT’S NEXT YEAR THAT WILL BE WHEN THIS KICKS IN BIG TIME.!!!

One wonders if the shots caused the unspecified cancer said to have killed Dolly and/or the other kidney and immunological problems she’s had in the past five years. Whether the jabs caused these effects or not, as with the sixteen deceased, Covid-jabbed people I knew, the shots didn’t give her extra years of healthy life. It would have been awesome if straight-talking, real-life Dolly had twangily said in 2021, or later, what was obvious but suppressed by the government and media: “A lot of folks sure did get sick or die after taking these shots.

The admonition that it’s necessary to keep up with China falls a little flat when China has 385 data centers and the US has 3,600-5,000.All of the usual methods of operating a republic are gone. The constitution is ignored;  a surveillance state is being erected using our own taxes; our resources are being devoured against our interests and no one in congress is listening to our pleas for sanity.

Inflation Destroys Family Well-Being – “Because inflation acts as a regressive, hidden tax, its physical burdens fall overwhelmingly on the poor and working classes. Unlike high-net-worth individuals, lower-income households spend nearly 100 percent of their earnings on immediate, inelastic necessities like food, energy, and shelter—categories that suffer rapid price hikes during monetary expansions. When everyday expenses—groceries, shelter, utilities, and gas—steadily rise, financial anxiety metastasizes into the underpinnings of home life.

As the chart above shows (scale inverted) the yen rallied sharply, did little for a month and this week suddenly rose again. Over the period of a month, the yen has rallied 5% against the dollar. Not only will Japan’s institutions be reviewing foreign bond and equity investments, but the carry-traders buying US treasury bills could become forced sellers to cover their yen shorts.” – Alasdair Macleod

They possess water, space, soil, and social structures that function without constant external inputs.

If my company had kept that plan, instead of scrapping it in the 1980s like all the other companies were doing, I would have had $2 million or more in retirement funds, without including Social Security. My health insurance paid 100 percent of all medical costs, as long as you used one of their facilities. And it was all free- nothing deducted from my paycheck. This was common then. So how did they do that? We’re told we couldn’t possibly “afford” that now.” – Donald Jeffries

Another Con Coming – “You have already heard about Trump’s allowing foreign slaughterhouse floor leavings – he styles these “lean trimmings” – to be fed into the hamburger supply for the next 90 days, sans tariffs, so as to temporarily (and slightly) reduce the cost of ground goy slop so as to (it is hoped) get the goyim to vote Republican in the midterms. Now come the next short-term con. Trump wants to allow – there’s that word again – so-called “winter” gas (which is less volatile than “summer” gas, to reduce evaporative emissions during the warm months) to be available a whole two weeks sooner than usual. Why? Because “winter” gas tends to cost a little less than “summer” gas.. You know what might have worked better, Mr. President? Not starting a war with Iran.” – Eric Peters

Donald Trump Should Be Removed From Office NOW! – “I’ll cut right to the chase: It is widely reported that President Trump is cajoling the Pentagon for a green light to use a tactical nuclear bomb against Iran. Trump’s malignant narcissism knows no limits. This is an unhinged madman who has absolutely zero regard for human life—or life of any kind, for that matter, including the lives of the beautiful cherry trees in Washington, D.C., that have decorated our nation’s capital and mesmerized airline passengers that fly into D.C. since 1909.I totally agree with Tucker Carlson: “The second any president actively considers the first use of nuclear weapons, that person should be removed from office immediately, because that’s got to be the red line, destroying all of humanity with a nuclear strike,” Yes! And that means right now! Whatever happened to nuclear nonproliferation? ‘ – Chuck Baldwin

The Fog of War and the Lies of Lunatics and Lutniks – “The fog of war is getting so thick you could cut it with a sword. Even the liars are stumbling on their own words. No sooner did I say it late yesterday than I read this morning, “Trump floats renaming Strait of Hormuz the ‘Trump Strait.’” I actually hope he does do something this egotistical and pointless because then he will be memorialized on maps and blamed for decades for turning Hormuz, the strait of formerly free international waters that is now claimed by Iran, into the strait that now charges massive tolls for Iran that the rest of us will pay for shipments to pass through, thanks entirely to him. That can be his legacy throughout the world for as long as the situation stands. He’ll have his name plastered all over this extraordinary war failure.” – David Haggith

And this morning, the president signed an executive order to rename JD Vance Ralph. Yeah. The president believes he looks like a Ralph. Call him RV’ And he he also renamed Cash Patel Abu, I think, for obvious reasons. And Marjorie Traidor Greene. That’s not official. And the president also renamed Hillary Clinton to Hillary. 3:503 minutes, 50 secondsCan’t say that one, but I think we all know where he’s going with that.” – AwakenWithJP – MORE SATIRE FROM JP!!!

George Soros Worker Bee Runs as Blue-Collar Waitress in Wisconsin – “Wisconsin US House Democrat nominee Rebecca Cooke is the latest blue candidate to display a signature trait found among young and middle-aged progressives seeking elective office. They yearn to be embraced as fellow commoners by the very people they have demonized and willfully shut out from their ideological bubbles. “Cooke has portrayed herself as a working-class outsider, touting her experience as a waitress, small business owner and nonprofit leader raised on a dairy farm,” Fox News reported Aug. 29. “But a personal financial disclosure released two days after Wisconsin’s Aug. 13 primary shows she received more than $5,000 apiece for work with Third Way and the Pipeline Fund, two left-leaning organizations with financial ties to George Soros’ Open Society network.” We’re a world away from milking cows here.” – Joe Schaeffer

So at least after 100 days on the job, we have the first Fed chairman ever who has printed no new money. Moreover, we think his resolve is far from being exhausted. In fact, keeping the printing presses on idle as far as the eye can see is the only way to purge the US economy of the destructive tsunami of debt, inflation and speculation that has been spawned by our rogue central bank.” – David Stockman

The Last Mile – “Reaching your retreat does not necessarily mean you have reached safety. The final kilometres may be the most dangerous part of the journey. Roads could be blocked, unfamiliar vehicles may be nearby, communications may be unreliable and the people already at the property may be operating under considerable pressure. An unexpected vehicle driving directly toward the entrance could easily be mistaken for a threat—even if everyone inside it belongs there. A retreat communications plan allows the approaching party to identify itself, report its condition and quietly warn the receiving group when something is wrong. It also gives the retreat time to observe the surrounding area, prepare for the arrival and redirect the vehicle if the normal approach is no longer safe.” – denob

Herbs That Interact With Medications: Dangerous Combinations to Avoid – “Walk into almost any pharmacy and you will find the supplement aisle sitting a few steps from the prescription counter, as though the two categories have nothing to do with one another. That physical separation mirrors a mental one most of us carry around without noticing. Pills from the pharmacist feel like medicine, capsules from the health food store feel closer to food, and the possibility that the second group could sabotage the first rarely comes up at the kitchen table. Yet herbs that interact with medications are behind a steady stream of preventable emergency visits, treatments that mysteriously stop working, and lab results that leave both patient and physician puzzled.” – Bob Rodgers

I have spent the last week reading and watching everything I could find about this case and I keep running into the same hole. The coverage is about her. Her medication list. Her postpartum diagnosis. Her hospital stays. Her tears at the defense table. Whether she was a good person who had a bad day or a cold-blooded, child killer. The media loves shoving that woman down our throat right now. I am sick of seeing her plastered all over my newsfeed. While Lindsay is everywhere, I have not found one video on social media or one article from a major outlet that gives those children more than a sentence. They are set dressing.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

It’s so DEAD it it bombed back when Trump lobbed some more bombs at it the other day. That kind of DEAD is persistently problematic for Trump. They just won’t die! Trump says its “leadership is in total disarray and incapable of properly representing the country.” What he doesn’t say, as he lashes out like Bruno Ganz portraying Der Fuhrer in the bunker, is that he did not succeed in replacing Iran’s leadership – with one more pliable – which was one of the four stated goals he had for Barbarossa (whoops, Epstein Fury).

Executive orders do not trump treaties. Nobody in either New York or Ontario is changing a single sign, either.

Your Mortgage Is Now Competing With Google and the Pentagon- “In short, the federal government already requires nearly ALL of the net private savings from literally every household and every company across America… just to make ends meet. Meanwhile the biggest foreign lenders are backing away. Japan, the UK, and China— the three largest foreign lenders to the US government— all cut their Treasury holdings in June. China now has their lowest Treasury holdings since 2008, down more than 13% from last year. In short, foreigners are not coming to the rescue. So there is very little capital left over to lend for data centers and AI expansion. And that says nothing about the tens of millions of other borrowers— small businesses, home buyers, etc. who need to borrow money. This is why interest rates are rising— it’s simple supply and demand: demand for capital is at an all-time high. Yet supply of capital (at the moment) is fixed. And when the supply/demand fundamentals of capital get out of whack, interest rates rise. Families who need to buy a home now are standing in the same line as Google, Meta, and the Treasury Department, competing for the same money. That’s why the average 30-year mortgage rate is 6.7%, and will likely go MUCH higher from here…” – James Hickman (Simon Black)

For two or three years in the wake of the pandemic, Florida’s property market boomed as a tidal wave of buyers raced to relocate or invest in holiday lets. Prices soared and developers accelerated construction. But the surge in demand was finite. Immigration has since plummeted. Sky-high mortgage rates, which have climbed from 3pc in 2021 to 6.66pc today, are hammering local buyer affordability. And falling occupancy rates in short-term lets mean that Airbnb investors can no longer secure the rents they need to make their sums add up.” – Melissa Lawford

Armed Citizens – “The Canadian preparedness community is comfortable discussing stored food, backup heat, water purification, generators, radios and medical supplies. We talk about storms, blackouts, supply failures and the slow erosion of public services. Then the conversation reaches defensive force—and suddenly becomes either silent or ridiculous. One side pretends that responsible citizens will never face a threat they cannot escape, negotiate with or report to the police. The other jumps immediately to fantasies about armed compounds, roaming looters and unrestricted violence. Neither position is serious preparedness. Canada needs a more mature discussion about armed citizens: not as vigilantes, substitute police officers or self-appointed authorities, but as ordinary people who may one day be forced to protect themselves, their families or others when immediate help is unavailable.” – denob

Anti-Conspiracy Fanatics: Psychologically Brainwashed Wards of the State – “Never has such an asinine term had such an impact against truth as the use of the thought-destroying phrase “conspiracy theory.” While bought and paid for Statist ‘fact-checkers’ would attempt to hold harmless the government’s role in this fraudulent word coup, especially the CIA; that criminal and covert operation that was directly responsible for fully weaponizing this damning term, knew exactly what they were doing. This happened in the 60s in order to stop anyone from questioning the narrative or seeking the truth about those who conspired and murdered JFK. As a matter of fact, name-calling as a form of silencing, which is the exclusive motive of the term ‘conspiracy theory,’ even by the narcissistic moron Trump in the White House, is now a common form of what I refer to as openly gross and manipulative brainwashing. ” – Gary D.

Why Not Just Take Their Oil? – “Trump says: One of the things I am going to do with the Venezuelan Oil is fill up the Strategic National Reserves which, because of Sleepy Joe Biden, has been virtually emptied. The oil he used the U.S. military to seize, he means. It passes with insouciance. Of course. Theft is policy. The government just takes whatever it wants and has been doing so for more than 100 years. Trump says that “Sleepy Joe Biden” – who fell asleep less than Trump does – “virtually emptied” the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. In fact, Trump emptied it – to offset the effects of his catastrophically stupid and evil decision to attack Iran, which resulted in about 20 percent of the world’s oil supply as well as supplies of other very important commodities being shut off. Trump drained the SPR as a way to dampen the shock of that; to prop up the world market for oil by exporting our oil to offset the loss of oil leaving the Strait.” – Eric Peters

Trumpy’s Venezuelan Tar Baby—History’s Dumbest Heist – “When it comes to “winning so much you can’t stand it”, the Donald has now truly jumped the shark We are referring, of course, to his new claim that he has more than doubled America’s current 50 billion barrels of proven oil reserves via a “gift” of 65 billion barrels he obtained from Venezuela’s puppet president, Delcy Rodríguez. In fact, this was no “gift” at all, but amounts to thievery in form— albeit via one of the dumbest heists in world history. That’s because the economic cost of turning these ultra-high cost reserves into gasoline and jet fuel is likely to far exceed their value on the global petroleum market. To be specific, we think the junkie, gunky tar oil reserves subject to the Donald’s recently announced concession agreement with Venezuela have a net present value (NPV) after economic costs of, well, negative $84 billion!” – David Stockman

Ruled By Fools – “Americans will never accept that they are ruled, but at the same time recognize that voting does no good, that there aren’t any real choices aside from worse and even worser. That’s not a choice. The idea, the very substance of being an American, is not to be ruled, but to be the masters of our own destiny. At some point (I’d say about now) it’s the duty of a free people to rise up and take from these rulers the right to live a free life, to expect those in a position of power to defend their people from, not submit them to, fraudsters and thieves. I fear only dying before I have enlightened as many as I can to the truth, that this prison being constructed is not freedom, our muted speech is not freedom, our confiscated wealth is not liberation.

The Hidden Cost Of Inflation: How Shrinking Products Warn You About Scarcity – “Most people notice inflation when the number on the price tag goes up. I notice something else too. The box gets smaller. The jar holds less. The package looks almost identical, but there are fewer ounces inside. A product you have bought for years suddenly uses cheaper ingredients. The store brand disappears for a few weeks and comes back with a different formula. A familiar cut of meat gets thinner. A bag that used to feed the family twice barely makes it through one meal. Those changes deserve attention. They tell you that manufacturers, distributors, and retailers are under pressure somewhere in the system.” – Alec Deacon

Lindsay Clancy And The Political Weaponization Of Mentally Ill Women – “It’s not just women’s biological habit of following the dictates of the herd, it’s also their inherent desire for chaos that makes them destructive to society at large. Nearly every civilization from the beginning of recorded history has understood this problem and sought to keep it contained. Only in the modern west in the past century have we abandoned reason for madness. I have said it many times in previous articles and I will repeat it here now: Feminism is by far the most destructive movement in the history of western civilization.” – Brandon Smith

Two Villages – “Right versus Left. Here we go again. I can already hear the knives coming out. Fine. Let’s try something slightly less bloodthirsty this time and look at what each side actually thinks it is doing, rather than the cartoon versions we usually throw at each other. Both sides, if you strip away the slogans and the rage, are trying to build a community. They both want a place that feels like home, a shared identity that holds people together instead of letting them fly apart like shrapnel. They just have completely different ideas about how you get there, and what you’re allowed to keep once you arrive.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

The nature of avatars and inkblots – “Plumbing the depths of Lake America. being upset at Trump re-naming things is a fascinating ink-blot. Trump is trolling. He’s deliberatly doing this to get a rise out of people. One can find it boorish or petty, but i think his intent is pretty clear: he’s ratcheting up aggression. Renaming geography is a typical act of conquest intended to show that one is taking over. It’s a laying of claim to territory. judea got renamed Palestina, St Petersburg (Petrograd) became Lenningrad, and New Amsterdam got renamed New York. that’s how dominion and regime power work. You can agree or disagree with the move, but that’s the flex and the US is hardly the first nationstate to do such things” – El Gato Malo

Dear Old Don, King of Thieves – “Immediately upon the kidnapping of Mr. and Mrs. Maduro and the “new” US relationship with Delcy Rodriguez, Trump issued Executive Order 14373 “Safeguarding Venezuelan Oil Revenue For The Good Of The American And Venezuelan People.” This order starts with the declaration of a “national emergency” to “threat of attachment or imposition of judicial process” on the Venezuelan funds held in the US Foreign Government Deposit Funds account to be “a threat to the United States.” This executive order is similar to the George W. Bush EO 13303 of May 22, 2003. That order also declares a national emergency, and establishes the Iraq Development Fund,directing all Iraqi oil revenues into a USA Federal Bank account in NYC. This order meshes nicely with the March 20, 2003 EO whereby the US outlines the policy of “Confiscating and Vesting Certain Iraqi Property.” ” – Karen Kwiatkowski  – AS I SAID A FEW DAYS AGO ALL ABOUT THE OIL AS USUAL!!!

Mexico Is Growing Because It Still Produces Something – “Mexico’s economy expanded 1.4% in the second quarter, nearly three times the OECD average of 0.5%. That placed it sixth among the economies in the report and marked its strongest quarterly expansion since early 2022. Yet listen to the political discussion in Washington and you would think nothing exists south of the border except cartels and migrants. Politicians can dismiss Mexico all they want, but corporations making investment decisions have to look at costs, transportation, labor, and access to customers.” – Martin Armstrong

Trump says US has entered deal with Venezuela to take control of 65 billion barrels of oil reserves – “Venezuelans are expressing outrage and the oil industry is waiting for details on President Donald Trump’s announcement that Venezuela’s acting president has agreed to give an unnamed U.S. company control of up to 65 billion barrels of the South American country’s oil reserves, at cost.” – Bridget Brown, Michael Warren and Luena Rodriguez-Feo Vilerea

Oh, Canada? – “And now. . . Mark Carney! He’s a beauty. A refined ectoplasmic manifestation of all the Globalist huggermugger working tirelessly to upend Western Civ. He has a weird glow of semi-transparency — not in the sense of revealing any truths, but more like you can partly see through him . . . he’s only half there . . . a ghost in the geopolitical machine. More to the point, Mark Carney has made himself a pain-in-the-ass for President Donald Trump. On the surface, this US / Canada rift appears to be all about trade relations. Naw. It’s about Mark Carney being a tool for merry old England attempting to capture the resource base of northern North America to collateralize what little remains of the UK’s once-sprawling, now sinking, empire. England is not so merry these days. It has somehow managed to issue a fatwa on itself and entered a gruesome process of assisted economic and cultural suicide. You can’t even raise a British flag there anymore without risking weeks in the slammer. The home folks get stabbed and beheaded. It’s all blight, rape, kebabs, and hijabs over there. Not a good look if you still want to be that country you dimly remember.” – James Howard Kunstler

The Next Election May be Our Last – “Donald Trump is determined to subvert the midterms. The Trump White House has put into place a series of mechanisms to fix or invalidate the midterm elections. Congress will not save us. The courts will not save us. Our only hope — should the election be rigged or stolen — is nationwide strikes. Our only hope is to cripple the machinery of commerce and government, although this militancy will be met with savage state repression. Otherwise, we are doomed. There will be no exit. If the measures advocated by the Trump administration are implemented, emergency powers will be invoked to assert unprecedented federal control over voting. Federal agents will seize election materials. They have already seized ballots from previous elections.” – Chris Hedges

New York Declares War on the Amish – “Politicians are coming hard for the country’s most inconvenient control group.” – Jenna McCarthy  – AND PENNSYLVANIA AS WELL!!!

Pennsylvania Is Executing the Most Aggressive State Intervention in Amish Community Life in American History – “For a religious community of roughly 43,000 people in one county, this is unprecedented. No other American religious minority is subject to state-run buggy clinics, in-home vaccination visits, or schoolhouse penetration campaigns.” – Sayer Ji

“Illinois sets US state record for most tornadoes in a year – “While Tornado Alley states have languished this year, tornado numbers are up in the Midwest, with Illinois setting a new national record. Illinois has had 243 preliminary tornado reports so far in 2026, exceeding the counts of any state for a full calendar year, dating back to 1950, according to Storm Prediction Center (SPC) data.” – By Jesse Ferrell

They Backed Russia into the Corner Knowing What Would Happen – “Europe continues to present the war in Ukraine as a sudden Russian aggression, but it was the result of three decades of NATO’s eastward expansion, which the West chose to ignore — until Ukraine became the battlefield.” – Phil Butler

A Hawkish Version of No Forward Guidance – “For a Chair who does not want to give forward guidance, Warsh was very effective in raising the market-implied probability of a Fed rate hike in September.  In his first speech at Jackson Hole, Warsh said that while this summer’s PCE and CPI readings were better than expected, they do not tell him that underlying trends have meaningfully improved” – Philip Marey

The Mother Of All Mean Reversions: Commodities Have Never Been This Cheap Versus Stocks – “Across Wall Street, from Barclays and UBS to HSBC, JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs, a common view is taking shape: physical scarcity is emerging across multiple commodity classes, driving prices sharply higher and signaling a broader hard-asset squeeze. Last week, UBS strategist Sagar Khandelwal issued a similar call heard across Wall Street, telling clients to “position for a commodity upcycle.”” – Tyler Durden

What They’re Buying Instead – “Central banks have been stepping away from the dollar for twenty-five years. And they’ve been buying something else with both hands. There’s a chart I wanted to share with you this Monday. It shows the dollar’s share of the world’s allocated foreign exchange reserves. In plain English, how much of the money central banks hold in reserve sits in dollars rather than euros, yen or anything else. As you can see, the dollar accounted for 71.5% of those reserves as recently as 2001. By the end of last year that was down to 56.4%, the lowest reading since 1995.” – Lau Vegys

DON’T BUY GOLD (VIDEO) – “What if the assets considered safest today become the greatest source of risk? Gold won’t be useful when these conditions are met: Currencies are stable Inflation is low Governments are running budget surpluses Borrowing is around 25% to 30% of GDP Countries have little debt Fiat money will be the better choice in that case… but we all know that’s not the world today.” – Egon von Greyerz

The Maintenance Window Is Closing – “Late summer and early autumn can create a dangerous sense of security. The furnace is quiet. The woodstove is cold. The snowblower has not moved in months. A small roof leak, loose weatherstrip or reluctant generator does not feel urgent while the temperature remains comfortable. Winter changes the consequences. A draft becomes a constant drain on stored fuel. A blocked downspout becomes an ice problem. A weak battery leaves the generator silent. A damaged stovepipe becomes a fire or carbon-monoxide hazard. A forgotten valve makes it impossible to isolate a frozen pipe.” – denob

Hand Sewing and Mending for Hard Use Clothing – “Basic sewing skills are a life skill. Up until the 1950’s, most families purchased cloth and sewed much of the clothing they needed at home. We owned less clothing but were better dressed, better shod and we maintained our clothing and footwear. Until the last few decades, virtually everyone knew how to sew. We also created far less clothing-related waste.” – Cache Valley Prepper
