Nothing New Under The Sun 2016

Comin’ through this business of life
There’s rarely time if I’m needed to
Ain’t so funny when things ain’t feelin’ right
Then daddy’s hand helps to see me through
Sweet as sugar love won’t wash away
Rain or shine, it always here to stay
All these years you and I’ve spent together
All this, we just couldn’t stand the weather

Like a train that stops at every station
We all deal with trials and tribulations
Fear hangs the fell
ow that ties up his years
Entangled in yellow and cries all his tears
Changes come before we can go
Learn to see them before we’re too old
Don’t just take me for tryin’ to be heavy
Understand, it’s time to get ready for the storm

THE BIG PICTURE

Is Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei Alive or Dead? UPDATE: He’s DEAD – “According to multiple confirmations following visible evidence of his body, news is now widely spreading throughout the middle east that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is DEAD. This could rapidly escalate an end to the U.S. military operation, through regime change. We await confirmation of this news from President Donald Trump.” – Sundance – ON TRUTH SOCIAL, TRUMP IS CLAIMING SUCH, BUT PRIMARILY USING ISRAELI SOURCES LIKE HIS BUDDY, BIBI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trump on Truth Social about Khamenei

Byzantium 2.0? – The “Financialist” type can be defined with precision. Its members derive power and profit not from production, innovation, or trade—what we should call “licit” wealth creation—but from financial engineering, the manipulation of debt, control of currency issuance, and the extraction of rent from the productive economy. When BlackRock manages $10 trillion in assets—a sum greater than the economies of all but three nations—it exercises power that’s not merely economic but fundamentally political. When the chair of the Federal Reserve can move markets with a single sentence, that’s power without societal mandate. When Treasury secretaries and central bankers move seamlessly between government service and employment by the very institutions they once regulated, that’s not conspiracy; it’s type cohesion.” – E.M. Burlingame

It’s a 75% Trumpian World. And That Means Global Renaissance. – “The whole world watched Tuesday night. And everyone sane will want what the Americans will have. Governments will topple. Systems fail. Elites jailed. There will be more parties. Absurdistan approves. Ok, it will be slow. But in the meantime, we get to watch elite panic, which is, admit delicious. Ariane Rothschild (“what a great hunt!”) had to emit some smoke to her investors last week protesting virtue and casting herself as victim. Mysteriously, the number of Rothschild references in the files has dropped from 12,000 mentions to 83. Listen, Ariane, it was all captured and filed away weeks ago, you blithering child-hunting cannibal. In my opinion.” – Elizabeth Nickson

Moving to Escape the Spanbergering? – “Virginia has gone very deep blue. Possibly forever blue. Leftists – this idea that there are still “Democrats” in a party controlled by Leftists is just silly – control the state legislature, the governorship and the attorney generalship. The majority of the state is still red, but has that made any difference in Washington or Oregon or California? It is not likely to make much difference in Virginia, either. So – what is to be done? One option – to leave the state for some other state, where the situation is said to be better – is often suggested. But is it actually – meaningfully – better in any other state? To some extent, yes” – Eric Peters

The Champions of Dystopia – “One gets the feeling that the GOP has officially resigned. An issue that has an 80-20 favorability nationwide cannot be passed by the US Senate. That’s not just Republicans. For them, it’s a 96-4 issue and they still can’t muster the votes, because they don’t want to. They don’t want election integrity, because then they’d win and by winning they lose. Campaign contributions come flowing in when the Democrats are in charge and since the Democrats use NGO funds for their campaigns rather than voter donations (though they get a lot of them, too) they don’t have to please the voters. All they have to please are the rabid leftists within their party, the globalists, the anti-Americans, the open borders crowd.” – T.L. Davis

Think Dems’ ‘Tax The Rich’ Policies Will Make America Better Off? Just Take A Look At California – “Politicians love nothing more than spending, as our dangerously surging fiscal deficits clearly show. But rather than cut unnecessary spending, which would be the most logical thing, Democrats continue to push the dumbest non-solution for our soaring spending, deficits, and debt: tax the rich. When asked why he robbed banks, Depression-era bank-robber Willie Sutton reportedly responded: “Because that’s where the money is.”” – I & I Editorial Board

The dark side of the House of Windsor – “There is certainly something rotten flowing in the depths of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Andrew, who is no longer a prince, duke, earl, or baron, having lost all his titles and the rights associated with them, nevertheless remains the brother of King Charles III, the current sovereign of the United Kingdom. If we are referring to controversies involving the British royal family, however, the figure of Charles III quickly brings us to the strange death of Princess Diana, who was once the wife of the British king when he was still the Prince of Wales. Diana was Princess of Wales and wife of the current King Charles from 1981 until 1996, when she divorced him. We will never know the real reasons for the divorce, beyond the publicly given explanations, which include, for example, the prince’s infidelities, as well as constant pressure from the royal family on her. But then there are those who insist that part of Diana’s tensions with the royal family involved much deeper secrets that the princess allegedly became aware of, including the involvement of royal family members with pedophilia and sexual abuse. We cannot be certain about anything of that sort, but Jimmy Savile’s friendship with members of the British royal family is certainly disconcerting.” – Raphael Machado

DOJ Secretly Investigated Epstein’s Death as ‘Murder,’ Email Reveals – “For years, Americans have been told the case was closed. Now, newly surfaced language from inside the DOJ is raising new questions.” – Frank Bergman

Cuba faces ‘zero hour’ as Trump, Rubio put squeeze on regime – “Cuba’s communist government is facing a breaking point in its battle for survival under pressure from President Trump, whose energy quarantine against the country is aimed at collapsing the regime. The consequences are hitting the population of 10 million people hard, with the U.S. fuel blockade exacerbating a decades-long economic crisis, disrupting access to water and worsening food and medicine shortages. ” – Laura Kelly

Bad Bunny Super Bowl lyrics were OK, says the FCC; I have questions – “Basically, the FCC closed the Bad Bunny investigation. No harm, no foul. Their judgment went like this: Yes, the original lyrics of his songs were dirty, describing sex acts graphically and so on, but you see, those lyrics were scrubbed before the Super Bowl and other words were substituted. Really? I’d like to know exactly how you substitute words for penis and vagina and the descriptions of sex.” – Jon Rappoport

There’s A Good Reason Why Russia Is Closely Monitoring the Latest Afghan-Pakistani Clashes – “Russia envisages Afghanistan serving as the irreplaceable transit state for pioneering another North-South Transport Corridor, albeit this time between itself and Pakistan, but this master plan will remain unfulfilled as long as those two’s grievances against one another aren’t adequately addressed.” – Andrew Korybko

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

The Missing Ingredient in Modern Life: Being Truly Needed – “Now here’s the hard truth: no amount of acreage, gardening expertise, or backyard chickens will fix that emptiness if you carry it with you. You can move a hundred miles from the nearest city and still wake up every morning feeling like an extra in your own life. Because the missing ingredient isn’t land. It isn’t money. It isn’t even independence. It’s being truly needed… by real people, in real time, for things that actually matter.” – Bill Heid

Don’t open the can by taking the lid off.” – Jack Lawson – HAD NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE EVEN THOUGH THE AUTHOR SAYS IT’S AN OLD DEVICE AND I’VE READ PREPPING ARTICLES FOR YEARS!!!

Small Scale Backyard Fish Farming – “Looking to start homestead fish farming? Small scale backyard fish farming doesn’t have to be difficult, unsustainable or expensive. Using inexpensive and readily available materials such as an aboveground swimming pool you can get fresh fish from your back yard. “By raising your own fish, you can achieve a higher level of self-sufficiency and provide a healthier diet for your family,” says Steven Van Gorder, author of Small-Scale Aquaculture. ” – George Devault

Home Pressure Canning – “The following describes my approach at pressure canning meat and dairy products, with some comments on fruit, vegetables, and other preservation methods Pressure canning cookbooks, like Ball’s Blue Book, include recipes for making and canning meat broths, but, in my experience, most do not for meat itself. Similarly, they lack recipes for canning most dairy items.” – Mrs. Alaska

IRAN WAR (SPECIAL EDITION )

THE BIG PICTURE

Fuck Everyone Who Made This War Possible – “I don’t even know what to write about this one, honestly. What am I supposed to say? “Hey everybody, they’re lying to us about this war”? Everyone already knows that. Even the people who support this war know all the justifications for it are lies. They know Iran isn’t building nukes. They know Iran poses no threat to the United States. They’re just going right ahead with a military operation to topple Tehran, after decades of inertia for fear of the horrific consequences it would unleash. They’re just choking off Cuba using siege warfare, which previous presidents refused to do because it would be a monstrous act of war. They just kidnapped the president of a sovereign nation, which previous administrations had refused to do because it’s plainly against international law. They just helped Israel turn Gaza into a gravel parking lot and are now building a giant dystopian tech surveillance encampment to imprison the survivors.” – Caitlin Johnstone

This Our Third English Civil War – “The Grand Illusion. Why the Conflict with Iran Is Not What It Seems — And What It Reveals About the Final English Civil War in this 400 Year Great Cycle. This article, following on from yesterday’s Byzantium 2.0 article, argues that the conflict with Iran’s a symptom, not a cause. It’s a stage upon which warring factions of the Anglo-American elite are fighting their own internal battle, using Middle Eastern soil and lives as proxies for a struggle whose true stakes lie in London, Washington, and the remnants of a global empire. To understand why bombs are falling on Tehran today, we must first understand a deeper history: the 400-year English Civil War, now entering the final crisis phase of its final saeculum, with Iran as its latest, most revealing theater. Part One: The Grand Misdiagnosis — Why “Iran” Is a Symptom, Not the Cause” – E.M. Burlingame

Trump Starts a Major Regime-Change War with Iran, Serving Neoconservatism and Israel – “This is the definitive war of choice. It is the exact type of war that Trump and his movement spent a decade vowing to end. And the potential for destruction is infinite. – Glenn Greenwald

Lego-town goes to War with My Little Pony. – “news pings through on the phone that the Trumpster and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahoooo have dropped a war on the good people of Iran with particular emphasis on Tehran. I seem to recollect the winner of the 2024 US Presidential election making a promise to the US electorate on the night of his pre-determined victory. “I’m not going to start wars, I’m going to stop wars. We had no wars, for four years we had no wars” Phew, thank goodness for that then. At any rate, no new global schmozzle is complete in Lego-town without the obligatory made for internet two minute video clip celebrating and explaining it. Anything longer might cause a glitch in the rivers of dopamine addiction flowing through Twitter and Instagram and threaten the peacefulness of war. So, to that end, the Trumpster let loose a social media post referencing the long-running conflict between the United States and Iran that no-one is particularly aware of in the wider world.” – Gerry O’Neill

I’m not saying that everything is fake just that one must be cognizant that it might be at the least…enhanced. (Or fake) 😅 By now, I get it.

War with Iran is On – “President Trump announces the US war with Iran has begun. Iran fires back on US military bases and on Israel. Threats of going nuclear. Israel fully involved.” – David Haggith

Trump’s Imperial Debacle Has Begun – “Interesting times are officially here. I’ve said repeatedly that if there was going to be a US strike on Iran, it had to come no later than the first week of March, due to the impossibility of keeping all those ships and planes deployed and in a state of constant readiness any longer. I had hoped the Pentagon and Big Oil would win out over Israel, but the genocidal maniacs’ grip on Trump was too strong and Congress was too—deliberately no doubt—damned slow.” – Ohio Barbarian

Yet Another Illegal Regime-Change War Bibi and Trump Launch Their War on Iran. “All I want is freedom for the [Iranian] people,” Trump also said. Once again, “freedom” is synonymous with war and death. It’s funny: I’m listening to ABC News and they keep using the words “strike” or “joint strike” or “preemptive strike.” Or even “larger-scale strike.” Trump sees it as a “noble mission,” but not apparently a Nobel Peace Prize one. So many lies, so much dishonesty, so much illegality. Grim times.” – Bill Astore

The End Of The Islamic Republic Update: The Republic Strikes Back Iran Launches Missiles Across The Middle East” – Peter Nayland Kust

Gulf High-Rises, Tourist Spots Get Pummeled By Iranian Ballistic Missiles – “Iran launched retaliatory strikes targeting Israel and US assets across the Middle East, hitting sites in Qatar, the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Syria, Jordan, and Iraq – soon after the Trump-ordered ‘Operation Epic Fury’ started, which appears aimed at accomplishing regime change in Iran. Multiple explosions rocked Tehran, with additional blasts reported in several other locations nationwide, soon after which several countries across the region closed their airspace once it was bombs away, and as the cross-border attacks intensified.” – Tyler Durden

A LITTLE HISTORY LESSON

Mohammad Mossadegh became Prime Minister of Iran in 1951 and was hugely popular for taking a stand against the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, Prime Minister Mossadegh roused Britain’s ire when he nationalized the oil industry. Mossadegh argued that Iran should begin profiting from its vast oil reserves which had been exclusively controlled by the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company. The company later became known as British Petroleum (BP).

On Aug. 19, 1953, Iranian Premier Mohammad Mossadegh was removed from power in a coup organized and financed by the British and U.S. governments. The Shah quickly returned to take power and signed over forty percent of Iran’s oil fields to U.S. companies.

Mossadegh was overthrown, sentenced to three years in prison followed by house arrest for life.

The crushing of Iran’s first democratic government ushered in more than two decades of dictatorship under the Shah, who relied heavily on US aid and arms. The anti-American backlash that toppled the Shah in 1979 shook the whole region and helped spread Islamic militancy.

So basically the U.S. brought all this on by meddling in a country for oil interests. Add to that the Zionist goal of getting more land and getting rid of all their enemies as well and you have the reason for 99% of all conflicts in the Middle East today.

THE BIG PICTURE

A Proper Explanation of the Detestable Terms: “Legal” and “Illegal” – “I find it incredible that so many depend on and allow so few to tell them what they may or may not do, what they may or may not say, what property they may or may not possess, what personal earnings they may or may not keep, where they may or may not be allowed to go, what they may or may not ingest into their own bodies, and in fact, these few are willingly permitted by nearly the entirety of this population, to control every single aspect of their lives and the lives of others, without any regard for freedom of the individual. The detestable terms ‘legal’ and illegal;’ irrelevant! Rules, ‘State ‘laws,’ mandates, and orders are meant for the very weak. Rule can only survive if people act as slaves and blindly obey their masters. No one can rule over a legitimate free man, so never call yourself ‘free,’ never claim that you live in a ‘free’ country, (you do not) unless you are willing to disobey the State at every turn possible.” – Gary D. Barnett

From the Rothschilds to Bohemian Grove, the MSM rushes to prove us right. Again. – “Plastering “Please ignore my big sinister secrets!” across the banner of a major newspaper is such a suicidally bad PR move it’s almost comical, especially from a member of a family who have perfected never appearing in the newspapers. Combine this with the notably unredacted name-drop of the Rothschilds in the Epstein files:” – Kit Knightly

The Empathy Weapon – ‘Same sermon, different pew. This morning The New York Times published an essay by an immunologist who wasn’t vaccinated as a child, found science, got her shots, and now wants to help other parents see the light. It’s got that signature NYT sheen, But this rant isn’t about science. That’s a much longer and more nuanced discussion. It’s about the con. The game is as simple as it is pretty diabolical: frame the debate so that only one conclusion is possible, then demonstrate some sense of open-mindedness about how people arrive at that conclusion. Be empathic about the journey. Be compassionate about the struggle. Just never, ever allow the destination to be questioned.” – Joshua Stylman

The diary of a girl who was used as a human incubator: – “Part II It’s worse than Part I. This transduction took a toll on me, not gonna lie. But it needs to be known – not hidden or redacted. There are some redactions in here. People need to understand that this is going on – not only going on – but at epidemic levels in our world today. You want a frikkin’ pandemic of mass proportions you WEF maniacs? How about the pandemic of using humans for profit and meat and as incubators?” – Jessica Rose – PART 1 WAS LINKED YESTERDAY.

Money is more important than life – “The massive lies that create our reality. Who else remembers learning about recycling in grade school during the ‘80s? My class made posters, created campaigns, and all learned the “3 R’s” (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). It all made sense to my 9 year old brain and for about 3 decades I was a believer. This won’t come as a shock to most of my readers, but it was all a lie. Recycling was corporate propaganda to gain public support for cheaper plastic packaging, propel a burgeoning petrochemicals industry, and offload accountability. Every time plastic is melted and reshaped, its polymer chains weaken. A high-quality PET bottle becomes fiber or fleece to make unrecyclable carpets and garments, which eventually hit the landfill. Globally, only 9% of all plastic ever produced has been recycled. Alas, this article isn’t about plastic. It’s about the lies we’ve been told. Millions and millions of dollars have been spent over decades to deceive us into believing corporations have our best interests at heart.” – Sarah Connor

Democrats Introduce Bill to Require Age Verification on Linux, Windows (VIDEO) – “I’ve read through this bill known as the age attestation on computing devices bill or SB26-051 and it is absolutely preposterous. It would apply to all operating systems open source or proprietary. So yeah, Linux is involved. Require the operating system to set a user’s age upon account creation and store that age within the system. along with some mechanism for verifying that, which is undefined. Require the OS to provide an API right a programmer’s interface for application developers to request an age or an age bracket for the user and institutes a up to $7,500 fine per violation for intentional violation of the bill which would include refusing to implement the age verification API.” – The Lunduke Journal

NEWS

If Trump Does Not Go To War With Iran, We Will Need To Thank One Man – “However, this week (or next week at the latest) there looms a world-shaking tragedy in the making: Trump is poised to attack Iran. Trump has amassed the equivalent of military air and naval power around Iran to what Bush II did in 2003 when he attacked Iraq. And for what reason would Trump attack Iran? He told the world that his attack against Iran last June “totally obliterated” Iran’s nuclear capabilities. So, why the necessity to attack Iran again? You and I both know the reason: This is another regime change proxy war for Israel. You know, the kind of wars Trump promised he would stop when he became president in 2025. A second attack on Iran would be a global disaster! Benjamin Netanyahu and his ultra-wealthy Zionist lackeys, along with Zionist toadies in the U.S. Congress, are putting on a full-court press to pressure Trump to pull the trigger and attack Iran—NOW. The odds are very high that Trump will continue to do what he always does: submit to his Zionist masters and use the U.S. military as Israel’s proxy army against Iran. But Iran is not Venezuela. It is inevitable that war with Iran would quickly become a regional war involving U.S. military bases scattered all over the Middle East, the Arab Gulf states, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, with potential spill over into China, Russia and India and a global economic crisis. The self-proclaimed peace president would go down in history as one of the most radical and foolhardy warmongers the Western world has ever seen. But if this attack is called off, if Trump somehow doesn’t pull the trigger and launch the attack against Iran, it very well might be due to one man: Tucker Carlson.” – Chuck Baldwin

Iran crisis: How does Trump get out of the box which he himself has created? – “A series of failed policy decisions from Trump have led us to the Mexican standoff with Iran.” – Martin Jay

The Price of Perfect Nihilism – “When President Donald Trump first announced that he had ordered the Pentagon to attack fishing boats and speedboats on the high seas which he said carried dangerous drugs destined for willing buyers in the United States, many of us who monitor the government for its indifference to the Constitution perceived it as truly criminal and utterly scandalous. The order to kill civilian non-combatants is an unlawful order which the military personnel who receive it have a legal and moral duty to challenge and either decline to carry out or resign from the military. It was scandalous because the president and his secretary of defense boasted about it. ‘ – Judge Andrew P. Napolitano

Iran Calls Trump’s Bluff as Deep State Rebels Over War – “While the Iranian saga has kept the world on its toes, it has now turned from travesty-in-making to total farce. The USS Gerald R. Ford—the most expensive and ‘advanced’ aircraft carrier in history—has become “mired” in quite a stink—pun intended—as it was revealed that demoralized sailors are potentially sabotaging the ship by flushing items like clothing and mop heads into the ship’s sewage systems, causing widespread septic blockages—a kind of “color revolution of the seas” (color mutiny?), with the color being brown. Now Trump’s initiative is collapsing before his sallow eyes amidst internal revolts as staff leak all kinds of damaging bulletins to the press. The latest from the Pentagon stovepipe is that the US only has munitions for days of a sustained high-intensity conflict with Iran, a fact we’ve known all along.” – Simplicius

The Man Who Might Wreck the Country – “We don’t have an explanation from Senate Majority Leader John Thune as to why he will not do what is within his power to do: pass election reform, known as the SAVE Act, by changing the filibuster procedure. At midweek Sen. Thune said Republicans were “not unified on pursuing a talking filibuster.” Understand that bringing back a real filibuster, with continuous speech in the well of the Senate, only requires the Majority Leader’s say-so, meaning Mr. Thune is prevaricating, concealing the truth.” – James Howard Kunstler

Hillary Clinton Knows Nothing *about Epstein (she repeatedly, vehemently insists). After months of cinematic hemming and hawing, Hillary Clinton finally sat down with U.S. House lawmakers yesterday to share her deep, personal, and utterly nonexistent knowledge of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. This was hardly a pivot. The Delete Queen has already made it abundantly clear—loudly, repeatedly, and with the emotional energy of a DMV employee at quitting time—that she knows nothing, saw nothing, heard nothing, and has never in her life been anywhere near anything or anyone that could possibly shed a single ray of light on the tiresome Epstein investigation. If there were a medal for “Least Helpful Witness in Congressional History,” she’d be polishing it right now. And yet, somehow the circus still found a way to circus.” – Jenna M cCarthy

The Democrat Party Represents Everybody but Americans – “Democrats love foreigners but despise the U.S.A.” – J.B. Shurk

Fetterman Faces the Party-Switch Question That Won’t Go Away – “If it wasn’t apparent already that the curtain had been yanked back, Tuesday left little doubt. Whether it was Texas Rep. Al Green (D-09) not lasting five minutes before being bounced out of the Chamber, not standing for the people they should have, or outbursts from the likes of Ilhan Omar (MN-05) and Rashida Tlaib (MI-12), Americans now know exactly who and what the Democrat Party is. However, Democrats do not have everyone falling in lock step with the party’s out-of-touch positions. No one would have guessed that after the 2022 election, the voice of reason would be Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA). And on Wednesday, he was asked the question he should probably get used to hearing. ” – Becky Noble

Who are the Real Extremists? – “Mamdani turns New York snowball fight into a snowball fight. But in today’s America, and particularly in Zohran Mamdani’s New York, a snowball flight was elevated to a national security crisis. And not just elevated. Like the killing of two American protesters in Minneapolis, Alex Pretti and Renee Good, the official outrage and the rush to judgment was eerily reminiscent.

The history has been marked by shifting from one-time allies to on-and-off again enemies. Many analysts are pointing to ‘blowback’ for Pakistan after sponsoring the Taliban’s rise in the first place, decades ago (which also had the help of the CIA in ‘Operation Cyclone’).” – Tyler Durden

ECONOMIC NEWS

The Inflation You Feel… But CPI Barely Counts – “Probably the single biggest problem with retirement planning (other than failing to execute that plan) is that most planning which includes keeping inflation in mind uses official government statistics to figure out how much money that you need. That’s not necessarily a bad reference point to start the process, but the problem is that most people assume that official government statistics on inflation are comprehensive in their review of what prices are affected by inflation. And that’s just not the case. Homeowner’s insurance, for example, is massively underrepresented in official consumer price index (CPI) numbers, which means that CPI can use accurate numbers and still paint a distorted picture of the reality of the situation.” – Peter Reagan

Core wholesale prices rose 0.8% in January, much more than expected – “Wholesale prices rose at a faster-than-expected pace in January, countering hopes that inflation was easing, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday. The core producer price index, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, increased a seasonally adjusted 0.8%, more than the 0.6% gain in December and well ahead of the Dow Jones consensus estimate for 0.3%.” – Jeff Cox

For weeks now, the MAG-7/ Big Tech have been correcting while the broader market index (the S&P 500) has rallied due to defensive sectors (Industrials, Consumer Staples, Energy) igniting. In this context, the #1 question concerning the market is… Are the Mag-7 about to rip higher and rejoin the bull market… or is the overall market going to drop down to the MAG-7?” – Graham Summers, MBA

Silver—What a Difference a Month Makes – “Slammed on 1-30 and back for more on 2-27. That day wasn’t random. It was a classic late-month pressure event. Fast selling. Emotional reaction. Narrative reset. The kind of move designed to convince you the rally was over. But here’s what matters: Silver didn’t collapse. It absorbed the hit. And now — on February 27, 2026 — we’re sitting above $90 after hitting a low of $70. 📈 That’s not just a bounce. That’s recovery with authority.” – Kerry Lutz

India’s Market Regulator Just Outlawed Western Price Rigging – A New Era for Gold and Silver Begins – “India shreds LBMA’s grip, dumps Western spot pricing, unleashes silver as bank collateral, and lets ₹30 lakh crore equity funds pile into physical gold and silver for the first time.” – The Silver Academy

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Building a 5-Family Mutual Aid Circle (Without Looking Crazy) – “There’s a hard truth most serious preppers eventually face. You can harden your home. You can deepen your pantry. You can install backup power, water storage, and redundant communications. But you cannot realistically duplicate every critical survival skill inside a single household. A well-structured five-family mutual aid circle hits the balance point between capability and trust. It’s small enough to avoid chaos, large enough to cover critical skill gaps, and discreet enough to build without advertising yourself as “the collapse guy on the street.”” – denob

Free Stuff on YouTube That Can Save You Money – “Let’s be real: calling a professional to fix something in your home might be out of budget for a lot of us. And even if it’s in budget, I want to at least try to fix it myself. You can learn to do basically anything on YouTube. ” – Daisy Luther – I HAVE USED YOU TUBE VIDEOS TO HELP FIX SEVERAL THINGS, ON MY CAR, REFRIGERATOR, SHOWER AND MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Survival Plan Redundancy: How to Build Backups Into Every Layer – “Most people think they have a solid emergency plan because they’ve stocked a few cases of water, stacked canned food in the pantry, and parked a generator in the garage. On the surface, that feels responsible and it looks like preparedness. But the first time something critical fails, whether it’s a dead battery, a blocked evacuation route, or a supply chain disruption that lasts longer than expected, that confidence starts to crack. What seemed like a plan turns out to be a collection of supplies tied together by hope.” – David Andrew Brown

THE BIG PICTURE

The Decay of our Quality of Life No Longer Aligns with the Narrative – “It’s not just how much money you have, it’s whether you still have access to everything of immeasurable value that’s destroyed in being monetized. I’ve set aside our standard of living in favor of our quality of life because standard of living is so easily gamed with financial statistics. You know the drill: as life becomes increasingly unaffordable and precarious, we’re inundated with statistics purporting to back up the claim that life is getting better, every day, in every way, because Progress is, well, progressing, and AI is soon going to make everything better in ways we can’t even imagine. This narrative is straight out a pulp science-fiction story circa 1956: there will soon be orbiting data centers, a base on the moon, it will be fantastic Progress, with a capital P.” – Charles Hugh Smith

Trump Cheers Lethal Doxxing – “State of the Union affirms national security state’s greatest show on Earth. “We’ve…taken down one of the most sinister cartel kingpins of all,” Donald Trump said in his celebration of the national security state last night. The capability to do this is not static. Strikes like those on Maduro and El Mencho are more and more feasible today because of the wealth of data that was never available before, as quickly, or as precisely targeted: data produced by phones and computers, the digital exhaust of social media, the emanations of cars and the vast Internet of Things gadgets, such as Ring cameras. That data is processed in ways that are faster and faster and with greater and greater precision. The objective is real-time geolocation. What Trump celebrated in the State of the Union—and what no one has really named—is this practice that I call lethal doxxing: the acquisition of someone’s most sensitive personal information revealing their up-to-the-moment location, followed by the lethal part. It’s doxxing at nation-state scale, with a kill chain attached.” – Ken Klippenstein – PEOPLE SEEM TO BE OK WITH THIS AND SEEM TO THINK THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS. WAIT UNTIL THEY START DOING THIS TO CITIZENS THEY DON’T LIKE INSTEAD OF SO-CALLRD DICTATORS!!!

People saw something in the sky, took pictures and video, there is NO denying that. Anyone that pushes the CGI narrative or remote-controlled planes are disinformation agents, or are seriously compromised, or has done f-all research, aka reading.

I haven’t had my stomach turn this much going through data since combing the VAERS baby reports – “This is a different kind of data. So. The Epstein files. There’s a diary written by one of the victims. She wrote in a kind of cypher – probably in hopes that one day someone would read her words.” – Jessica Rose

The Epstein Files Have a Pizza Problem – “”Yeah, That’s the Pizza” and Other Sentences That Should Put People in Prison. It’s not one email. It’s dozens.

NEWS

The State Of Disunion – “Not being a sado-masochist I did not watch one second of Trump’s first State of the Union of his second term. Everyone knew what it would be: The real state of the union, something Trump won’t say because he prefers empty rhetoric and jerking off to himself on stage, is that things are bad and getting worse. The Union is ruptured beyond repair. People are unhappy and angry, and many are ready to take out their frustration on others via violence. If we had any adults in charge we would be having a conversation about how to peacefully dissolve the Union but the people in charge are stupid and evil. You can’t overstate just how dumb these people are, on both sides of the aisle. Instead of hitting the brakes and calling a timeout before we go over the cliff, the two sides who are in reality the same, are making things worse in the belief that they will be insulated from the chaos of collapse. Many powerful people in history have thought they were untouchable, right up until the noose tightened around their neck, the guillotine blade dropped and the commander order the squad to fire.” – Arthur Sido

Some of the Golden Points of the President’s Golden Era – “Big Real Estate, Big Pharma and Big Tech Get Checked.Taking a break from the things I could say about some of Trump’s lies and distortions in his State of the Disunion address, I want to focus on three particularly smart and positive things the would-be king is ordering up to help the little guy in 2026 in order to clamp down on the super-bigs that devour to much of the American pie.” – David Haggith

The SOTU: Two Hours Of Demons Unbound And Rightwing Statism On The Boil – “Well, if there was ever any doubt, now we know. Donald J. Trump is a very badly deformed personality, who is a walking grievance machine. And he has turned his own demons into a toxic form of Rightwing Statism which threatens to ruin what is left of free market prosperity and constitutional liberty in America. Having apparently accumulated 79 years worth of the wrongs, slights, rebukes, disses and disappointments, the Donald is now, and for most of his adult life has been, all about getting even. He pursues his revenges via a combination of self-glorifying braggadocio and pugilistic verbal aggression against any and all designated enemies who come to his mind at any given moment.” – David Stockman

IRAN CONFLICT COULD DRAIN U.S. MISSILE DEFENSES—UNDERSCORING THE PENTAGON’S PUSH FOR DIRECTED-ENERGY WEAPONS – “Directed-energy weapons—whetherhigh-energy lasers or high-power microwaves—promise a different kind of defensive capability. One measured less in how many interceptors you can physically load and more in how much power you can produce and how effectively you can shed heat between shots. In theory, that shifts the air-defense equation away from finite missile inventories and toward endurance—an advantage that looks increasingly attractive as modern air defense proves both indispensable and relentlessly consumptive.” – Tim McMillan

Coming Wave Of Distressed Sellers To Tank Home Prices Worse Than The GFC (VIDEO) with Melody Wright – “The last time housing analyst Melody Wright was on this program, she warned that home prices could fall by up to 50% in certain markets over the next few years as the housing market experiences a national correction. Does she still feel that way? Yes. And she thinks the pace of contagion is accelerating as the correction spreads to more & more states.

Comex Silver Supplies Continue to Shrink Rapidly – “Silver is showing significant demand and metal is leaving the vault at a rapid clip. This is a market in backwardation, facing high demand, record prices, and metal leaving the vault. This is a perfect storm for silver.” – Peter Schiff

Hidden Changes Taking Place in the Gold & Silver Markets – “They don’t want you to notice. Something fundamental is shifting in gold and silver right now, and most investors are still staring at the daily candles instead of the structural plumbing beneath them. For decades, the paper market dictated the price and the physical market followed obediently behind. COMEX would set the tone, London would reinforce it, and physical buyers would accept whatever quote appeared on the screen. But that dynamic is quietly evolving.” – Kerry Lutz

One Cause of Silver’s Recent Volatility – “Quite a rollercoaster we silver stackers are on. The metal’s price gaps up, making us geniuses. Then it tanks, replacing our self-regard with angst. And then it does it all again. Some behind-the-scenes games are definitely being played, and here’s one of them: Start with the fact that Jane Street, a semi-obscure investment bank, recently acquired a huge position in the physical silver ETF SLV. Here is a clear, professional explanation of the typical high-level strategy these sophisticated quantitative firms use: They first accumulate a sufficiently large position in SLV shares, large enough to influence market price action when required. When the majority of traders and retail investors turn strongly bullish, put options (which profit from a price decline) become very cheap. They then buy these put options in huge quantities. At the right moment, they dump their entire accumulated share position all at once. This sudden heavy selling creates a sharp, unexpected crash, This kind of manipulation is unhealthy for any market. It is concerning how regulatory authorities appear to turn a blind eye to such practices.” – John Rubino – GOOD EXPLANATION OF HOW THIS FORM OF MANIPULATION WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Silver Manipulation Manifesto: Jane Street Must be Stopped Shut Jane Street down. – “Free silver. Restore truth. Jane Street isn’t a market participant. It’s a predator, prowling the ticker tape with high-speed algorithms designed not to serve liquidity, but to control it. And now, unbelievably, it sits atop the silver market — holding over $1.6 billion in SLV, more than 20.6 million shares, over 3.6% of the entire ETF. The fastest trading firm in the world is now the biggest paper gatekeeper of silver, one of the most volatile commodities on Earth. That’s not investment. That’s colonization.” – The Silver Academy

How Much Land Do You Need to Be Self-Sufficient? – “Traditional wisdom says that you need two to five acres for self-sufficiency. This was the limit in my grandfather’s day, and it’s the rule he taught me. However, farming methods have changed a lot since I was a child on my grandfather’s farm. Using hydroponics, vertical growing, and other intensive farming methods, is it possible to be self-sufficient on less land? Could you produce all your own food on a small plot in the city?” – Olivia Brooks – FOR ANOTHER VIEW WITH THE SAME TITLE. SEE THE ARTICLE LINKED BY SUNNY M. ON 03/25/24

Your “Gray Man” Camouflage – “To truly master the art of Gray Man, we need to break the “tactical addiction”. The biggest hurdle for many preppers is the “Tactical Trap.” Wearing $300 operator pants and a “Don’t Tread on Me” hat is a neon sign that says, “I have expensive gear and likely a firearm.” In a crisis, this makes you a high-value target for criminals or a magnet for unprepared people who will cling to you and slow you down.” – A.C.

THE BIG PICTURE

OPERATION EL MENCHO—Cui bono? – ““You know it’s a false flag hoax and super psyop whenever the drama reaches the level that Mexico has seen over the past couple of days. And a super duper psyop it is, first and foremost, to distract everyone from (i) Mossad’s ever-exploding Epsteingate scandal, (ii) Bibi’s imperialistic war on Iran using the US military, (iii) Israel’s stealthy and slo-mo takeover of the West Bank, (iv) AIPAC’s complete control and manipulation of the U.S. Congress, (v) Ambassador Mike Huckabee’s epic blunder green-lighting the Greater Israel project across the Mideast, (vi) the Zionist blueprint for world domination via the coming Great Reset-imposed CBDC, Who can deny that the exact timing of this “El Mencho” operazione maggiore was meticulously selected for even many more reasons than the preceding slam dunk of an “Cui bono” indictment? First of all, everyone throughout the Global Intelligence Community knows that decapitating a major drug cartel never works; ” – State of the nation

War Games Targeting Christians as Terrorists Reveals a Lot More Than Just Institutional Bias – “New Zealand’s Defence Force (NZDF) has admitted targeting fictional Christian Nationalists to train for war. NZDF utilised the fictional scenario four times in 2025. Key to its backstory is “a predominantly Christian group, who wants to build a state broadly modelled on Christian values.” Governments targeting Christians in fictional wargames reveal a lot more than just institutional bias. These types of revelations are “Ruby Ridge” level warnings.” – Rod Lampard

MAHA, America’s Farmers and the Glyphosate Dilemma – “Glyphosate is the foundational chemical for the current food system, which is a fact that no one can escape from. It is with this fact in mind that we need to approach glyphosate carefully, so as to quickly reduce its use while not creating sudden problems for America’s farmers. The U.S. pesticide industry that has directly caused much of the current chronic disease crisis, has been subsidized indirectly through federal farm policies for decades that encourage intensive, chemical-dependent industrial agriculture.” – Sustainable Pulse

Your Gut Microbiome Could Affect Colon Cancer – What You Can Do – ““Supporting the gut microbiome can help reduce colorectal cancer risk and may even enhance prevention and treatment,” Sachin Aryal, gut microbiome researcher at the University of Toledo, told The Epoch Times. “We’re learning that the bacteria in the gut matter more than we used to think,” Dr. Cedrek McFadden, colorectal surgeon and medical advisor to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, told The Epoch Times. Gut bacteria are not just sitting there as bystanders. They interact directly with the lining of the colon, the immune system, and inflammatory processes over time. When the microbial balance is off—a condition called dysbiosis—some bacteria can create a low-level inflammatory state or produce substances that irritate the colon lining. Over many years, that kind of environment can contribute to cancer, McFadden said.” – Zena le Roux

Fool’s Gold: The Art of the Steal and the Privatization of the Presidency – “In his State of the Union address, President Trump declared that America is entering a “Golden Age.” Golden for whom? For a president who lives lavishly in a taxpayer-funded mansion, jets around to weekend golf getaways at taxpayer expense, and dismisses concerns about “affordability” as fake news, life might indeed be gilded. For the rest of the country, it is fool’s gold. Nearly six-in-ten Americans say the country is worse off now than it was a year ago. Groceries cost more. Utilities cost more. Housing costs more. For millions of families, this is not a golden age. It is a painful lesson in imperial economics: the billionaire class lives large while “we the people” are told to live small.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

The Sound Of A Collapsing Empire – “Shockingly, or predictably, or even shockingly predictably, we discover there is a terrible toilet problem on the USS Gerald R. Ford. This carrier is the newest and most expensive warship ever built, at $13 Billion 2017 dollars, $17 Billion in today’s fiat. Among its many innovations, a vacuum-sewage system was adopted from the cruise ship industry, with pipes too narrow to accomplish their military mission. The USS Gerald Ford recently finished a strenuous, if imaginary, narcoterror operation in the Caribbean, and at this moment, is in the Mediterranean Sea attempting to join the massive US sea and air forces buildup vis a via Iran. Israel wants to decapitate Iran, and Washington want to please Israel despite the political and strategic risk to Trump’s legacy, and desire to avoid a third, fourth and fifth impeachment in 2027. American blood and resources will be Iranian targets if Trump or Netanyahu start shooting off more than just their gum flappers. The long lines to the head on the USS Gerald Ford on its way to a stupid war no one wants or needs will engender thousands of conversations, story-telling, venting, and reflections on imperial wantonness and political stupidity. Let’s hope this is the worst that happens to them.” – Karen Kwiatkowski – SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS GOING DOWN THE SHITTER (THE EMPIRE), JUST NOT WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO 💩.

War with Iran is Likely More Imminent than you Think – “Several big clues present a shorter timeline than the official deadline for the long-feared, all-out war that many, including Iran, have said would be the start of WWIII in the Middle East.” – David Haggith

America 2.0: Running on Fumes – “Can’t somebody make something work? It’s pretty clear that all commerce now revolves around poorly made products, assembled by exploited foreign workers, which unconscionable companies sell with “warranties” that they often fail to honor on a technicality. Or they design the products to break down just after their warranty expires. Yes, that sounds paranoid, perhaps delusional. I’ve been driven to the breaking point, pun intended, by having to rely on so many things that don’t work.” – Donald Jeffries

Watch: TDS Riddled De Niro Sobs In TEARS Over Trump – “Robert De Niro, the actor whose unhinged rants against President Trump have become a staple of leftist media, took his Trump Derangement Syndrome to new heights by bursting into tears during an MSNBC appearance. De Niro sobbed while discussing Trump’s alleged “division,” prompting host Nicolle Wallace to tear up as well in a display of peak propaganda.” – Steve Watson – AND WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT THESE OLD ACTORS AND SINGERS LIKE SPRINGSTEEN AND BONO THINK.

As Russia’s SMO Heads Into Its Fifth Year, the Struggle Lives On – “Today marks the fourth anniversary of the beginning of the ‘Special Military Operation’, launched on February 24th, 2022. On this occasion, I wanted to write a few words and address a couple controversial topics surrounding this ongoing war, now heading into its fifth year. One of the most widespread narratives surrounding the war on both sides has been that it is an extremely wasteful “brother war” where Slavic people are senselessly slaughtering each other for the applauding Europeans. It’s an indubitable fact that huge amounts of Slavic men are perishing on both sides all for the purpose of bleeding Russia dry for the sake of people that in actuality hate both sides, including the Ukrainians, whom they merely pretend to “like” so as to use them as a battering ram against Russia. But there are two things that can be said about this:” – Simplicius

Why Might Ukraine & Its Western Patrons Try To Blow Up Russia’s Black Sea Pipelines? – “The purpose is to derail the peace talks by provoking Russia into either preemptively escalating against Ukraine as a deterrent or authorizing an overmatched retaliatory escalation right after that could in any case be spun by the Europeans to manipulate Trump against Putin.” – Andrew Korybko

CME Halts Metals Trading — Again — Two Days Before First Notice Day – “On Wednesday, February 25, 2026 — precisely 48 hours before March First Notice Day — CME Group halted all metals and natural gas futures and options trading on its Globex platform. CME’s Global Command Center first acknowledged the issue at 12:11 CT, and by 12:15 CT the exchange confirmed a full halt. Natural gas was quietly restarted by 12:50 CT, but metals — the category where the real pressure exists — remained dark with no timeline for resumption. All day orders and good-till-date (GTD) orders placed for Wednesday were canceled. Only good-till-canceled (GTC) orders with prior confirmations survived the purge. CME’s official explanation: “technical issues.” No further detail. No elaboration. Just a status page that reads “Investigating”.

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

ALASKA’S HARSH TRUTH: WHY HOMESTEADING HERE BREAKS MOST PEOPLE – “With its unforgiving climate and vast, untamed wilderness, Alaska truly is the last frontier. For those bold enough to homestead here, it’s far more than just a hobby; it’s a demanding way of life that requires a level of grit, fortitude, and resilience few can imagine. The year revolves around the brief but intense summer, when every essential task, from planting crops to gathering firewood, must be done with winter in mind.” – Anna Sakawsky

Cold-Climate Composting Systems That Work Year-Round in Canada – “In a true preparedness mindset, compost is not a gardening hobby. It is soil production, waste management, nutrient recycling, and food security rolled into one system. If you can maintain active composting through winter, you gain three major advantages: When temperatures drop below freezing, microbial activity slows dramatically. If the pile is small or poorly insulated, it freezes solid. Once frozen, decomposition essentially pauses. The goal in winter isn’t necessarily to keep a steaming 60°C “hot pile” going constantly. It’s to retain core heat, protect microbial life, and keep the system active enough to prevent full freeze-through.” – denob

Why “Normalcy Bias” Gets People Killed – “There is a peculiar and deadly glitch in the human brain. When danger arrives — real, imminent, life-threatening danger — a significant portion of people simply freeze. They look around, note that no one else seems to be panicking, and convince themselves that everything is probably fine. This is not cowardice. It is not stupidity. It is a well-documented psychological phenomenon called normalcy bias, and it has contributed to some of the deadliest disasters in recorded history.” – Ask A Prepper Staff

THE BIG PICTURE

The Notion That Politicians “Work for the People” Is Ludicrous on its Face – “This country is experiencing terror in the streets due to martial law type ‘immigration’ enforcement, which in reality has little or nothing to do with any alleged ‘immigration’ problem. It has much more to do with government intentionally causing civil unrest, so as to implement more control over the entire population. Monetary debasement is in high gear, meaning dollar destruction and the inflationary tsunami coming will be horrendous. Already, a large swath of this population cannot pay their bills, feed their families, or purchase a home. The debt, which is massive and growing by many trillions annually, considering much more than the admitted $39 trillion ‘total’ debt advertised, will only accelerate going forward. With interference in countries around the world, threats of war daily, empire building, market manipulation, and fascist financial policies, there is no relief in sight. The Trump tariff madness continues unabated even after the corrupt Supreme Court ruling, as do sanctions, absurd executive orders, and trade restrictions, all while Trump, his family, and his financial supporters continue to enrich themselves at will.” – Gary D. Barnett – GOOD READ FROM GARY AS USUAL!!!!

Minnesota Bill Expands Bird Flu Programs, Pays Farmers to Comply With Bird Flu ‘Prevention Measures’ – “As billions flow into expanding U.S. and global avian influenza surveillance, research, and response programs” – Jon Fleetwood

Is Privacy Entirely Gone? – “Years ago, when email first came along, I intuited that there was nothing private about it ever. Anyone can forward anything to anyone. Storage allows something you sent a decade ago to resurface and be posted in public. Everything you say might as well be on a billboard on the interstate highway. This is just the nature of the medium. Sadly, it took most people about 10 years to figure this out. What applies to email also applies to chats and groups.

Someone needs to sink The Atlantic – “A bogus story on a child’s death by measles is the latest example of how the Powers that Be are benefitting from the “journalism” of one of their favorite magazines. As it turns out, the article was a complete work of fiction – albeit the piece was labeled “creative non-fiction.” To my skeptic’s bent of mind, the article was simply another piece of preposterous and disingenuous Fear Porn designed to counter the rise of vaccine hesitancy that is clearly starting to alarm the Vaccine-Promotion Establishment/Cult.” – Bill Rice Jr.

“Learn to code” they said – “The AI White-Collar Exodus and the Trades Illusion. The trades are highly valuable. They serve as a vital personal skill and a critical function within society. Electricians, plumbers, and mechanics literally and figuratively keep the trains running. True trades are unplugged. They operate entirely in the physical world and will likely be the absolute last category of work replaced by artificial intelligence. However, the trades are still a component of the broader labor market. They are governed by the fundamental laws of supply and demand. An influx of desperate workers flooding into the skilled trades will inflate the labor supply. ” – Sarah Connor – GOOD READ FROM SARAH!!!!!!!!!

Clearing the Brush – “Throughout the years, decades and even century, the people have been polite and decent and asked our elected officials to enforce the laws. The civility of the US population, a breed far more inclined to pursue their own independent goals in life rather than ruling the lives of their neighbors, expect to be able to defend themselves and their homes, to worship freely and debate issues openly. This is becoming less and less possible. Whole industries and government bureaucracies have been built up around the idea of interfering with those individual goals, taxing them out of existence and even punishing enterprising instincts. Only with government approval can these pursuits be accomplished. This is antithetical to the concept of liberty, of entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation. It’s a scar on the face of the United States and the wound deepens every day.” – T.L. Davis

FUSA Bulletin: The Zero Sum Game of Mexican Cartel ‘Whack-A-Mole’ Continues – “The Criminal Counter-Insurgency tactic of ‘Beheading the Snake’ does not work against a HYDRA.” – The Tactical Hermit

Mexico Is a Mess – “Did anyone actually think taking out a ruthless cartel boss would be pretty? If you ever needed proof that real change doesn’t come wrapped in a velvety pink bow, look south: As you surely know by now, officials this week took out a major Mexican cartel kingpin—a man whose rap sheet read like a Mad Lib assembled by Satan—and almost immediately, huge swaths of the country lit up like a gasoline-soaked birthday cake. CJNG isn’t just another illicit underworld empire—it’s the most territorially entrenched, militarized criminal organization Mexico has ever seen. As such, this wasn’t routine “cartel chaos.” It was institutional retaliation from a heavily-armed syndicate with the firepower of a small army and the ethics of a stadium full of comic-book supervillains. A lot of Americans still carry around a Disneyfied idea of justice: defeat the villain, restore the kingdom, cue the birds singing. But tell me—did terrorism vanish when we removed bin Laden from the equation? Did Mexico turn into a sandals-resort postcard after we nabbed El Chapo (the third time)? Did human trafficking disappear the minute Epstein “died”? Of course not. Because real-life criminal cleanup isn’t a fairy tale; it’s fighting a cockroach infestation.” – Jenna McCarthy

US Savings Rate Slides Again – “For Americans, is it a choice between owning assets and getting left behind? In a fiat system, savers are punished, so why sock away nuts for the winter? The US savings rate has been in a downward trend for decades, though it has experienced periods of upward movement. Households have their reasons for not putting more money away, whether the high cost of living or inflation being a bug of the current economic system. Increasing numbers are recognizing this defect, which is why it is more imperative than ever to own assets, whether real estate or precious metals.” – Andrew Moran

THE BIG PICTURE

Hate from a Distance – “I know what hate is. I’ve felt it. I doubt there’s a human alive who hasn’t had firsthand experience with the emotion. But for me, hate has to come with pretty good, in-your-face, grounds. What about you? Is it a good thing to refrain from hate? I think so. I don’t mean to bring up Trump so often, but you have to admit, he is the giant elephant in the room and always a great subject for comment. He is a perfect example of what this article is about—hate. I don’t have to tell you he is the number one object of hate in the world today. Sure, there are others, but Trump gets the gold medal.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

Trump’s WWIII: Hospital Flotilla Heading for Iran – “WHY is President Trump sending a military hospital flotilla to Greenland? Why is he saying it is to help the sick people of Greenland? Are there no hospitals or doctors in Greenland? Quite simply, Trump is anticipating American soldier casualties when we initiate war with Iran and is afraid of the backlash this admission would have on The People. Iran. The means of distracting from the demise of America. Now that Huckabee has given the Middle East due notice that Israel is planning on taking over more territory than believed, the boundary lines shift. Saudi Arabia is awakening from its slumber. Qatar sees the duplicity. And the remaining pro=Trumpers trying to shift blame to the UK Black Nobles is falling flat. And HHS antisemitism gulags look more like concentration camps. Iran hosts upwards of half a million Christians. ” – Helena Glass – HELENA CONNECTS A FEW DOTS HERE AND IT ISN’T PRETTY!!!!!

Nutritional Deficiencies and Toxicity: The Silent Collapse Beneath Every Modern Disease – “Americans are undoubtedly the champions of disease, for they have the worst diets, the most vaccines, the most dangerous and numerous tests like CAT and PET scans, and take the most medications of any people on Earth, and the statistics sustain this view. Instead of supporting health, Americans, and of course, many others around the world, support the pharmaceutical paradigm that tears down health.” – Dr. Sircus

About Those Checks…- “It became the practice of Roman caesars – after the actual one’s murder in the Forum and the reign of his immediate successor, Augustus – to buy the affection of the people (as well as the legions) by showering them with sesterces, coins in Roman times. It became necessary in short order – after Augustus – for the new caesar to do this, else he might end up – and often did end up – being put to death by his own praetorians. Trump promised sesterces – twice thus far. Initially, we plebes were supposed to be getting a $5,000 check as our common refund, to be paid-for by all the money saved by Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency. Does anyone in our amnesiac era recall? Trump’s promises of sesterces – to the tune of $5,000 for each of us plebes – was of a piece. It was greeted with wild enthusiasm because so many of us plebes could very much use $5,000 – Well, we’re very close to the vaguely hinted at point at which the imperator said the sesterces would be paid out. Is there anyone who still believe they will be? ” – Eric Peters – I HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE. ERIC SAYS IT WAS REDUCED TO $2000, BUT I TOOK THE $2000 REFUND TO BE FOR TARIFFS IN ADDITION TO THE $5000 DOGE SAVINGS REFUND. SO ACTUALLY HE WAS PROMISING TWO DIFERENT REFUNDS NOT A REDUCED REFUND. WHICH WE WON’T SEE EITHER OF THEM!!!

A Campaign of Bad Faith and Ill Will – “Lunacy proceeds from crime. In case you wonder why half the country has gone crazy, seek no further than Susan Rice’s stark warning to the other half of the country that is not crazy. Ms. Rice was Barack Obama’s National Security Advisor and then “Joe Biden’s” Domestic Policy Advisor. She did a podcast last week with Preet Bharaha. Her message to Trump supporters: We’re coming after you when we’re back in power. “Revenge is a dish best served cold.” It was an important signal and it got a lot of people’s attention. It telegraphed the fear running through the Lefty-left that their crimes against the country are being tallied, carefully catalogued, and presented to a grand jury in Florida. The crimes are bundled as a multifaceted conspiracy to overthrow the US government. Pretty serious. Sedition and Treason. Susan Rice knows what she (and others) did. Secondly, and surely less-known to the American public, was Ms. Rice’s role as Domestic Policy Advisor under “Joe Biden.” Her actual job from 2021 to 2023 was to serve as a conduit for Barack Obama to run “Joe Biden’s” White House, along with Jake Sullivan and Tony Blinken. During those years, the public rarely (if ever) saw Susan Rice. She avoided the news media and did not make public statements or appearances at White House events. The news media were happy to ignore her. They knew exactly what she was up to.” – James Howard Kunstler

Upon a platform of lies – “The very model of modern majoritarian mendacity. “If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit” is a time honored tradition among charlatans and politicians, but this commonplace political Pokémon sometimes evolves into a far more pernicious final form: New York city is becoming acutely hilarious in this regard. This has got to be some kind of all time record for going from “piles of socialist promises for free stuff” to “we need you in the work gangs because our infrastructure is borked.” Yes, the culpepper is satire, but the rest of this is all too real. It seems this gang cannot even keep its manifold mendacities straight and the irony of “you needed no ID to vote yourself into this but you need extreme amounts of ID to shovel yourself out” (In the New York collective work gangs, mo less) is thick enough to block a snowplow.” – El Gato Malo

Coombs reportedly admitted to binding Paisley’s hands with a robe tie and her legs with painter’s tape to stop her from reaching into her diaper. He claimed that he dropped Paisley while she was still tied up, causing her to gasp for air. The sheriff’s office said that he later stated he struck her multiple times before realizing he “took it too far.” – Audrey Liza M. Nolasco

How Might Russia Respond To The US’ Planned Long-Range Missile Deployment To Germany? – “The redeployment of its hypersonic Oreshniks to Kaliningrad, Belarus, and/or Crimea is the most likely response so long as the US continues to informally comply with the New START, but any significant violations thereof could prompt Russia to redeploy (even just tactical) nukes to those places.” – Andrew Korybko

The Strategic Dilemma At the Heart of Iran’s Struggle – “Contradictory bouts of news and rumor continue to pour in surrounding Trump’s ‘imminent’ attack on Iran. The buildup is said to be the largest since the Iraq war, with various figures like ex-CIA operative John Kiriakou giving their renditions of ‘insider intel’ that Trump has already sealed the fated decision and is ready to roll heavy within the next 48 hours. Iranian officials, on the other hand, appear to signal that talks will continue into next weekend, and there are varied reports about deals gaining traction.” – Simplicius

This consensus is largely based on the history of the Weimar Republic and other examples of money-printing (the only expedient solution) leading to the destruction of the currency.

From the United Nations to the Sanhedrin. Are we jumping from the pot to the kettle? And are you a bad kelipot that needs eliminating? – “Some people who want to impose the noahide laws on non jews do so from the perspective that they believe it’s the only way we get to heaven. And therefore despite it being a two level hierarchical society, I still believe their hearts are in the right place. Some just don’t know the teachings studied and promulgated at the highest order. Others are driven from deep supremacist views or actual hate of Christians or other non jews.

Is the World Run By a Satanic Cult? (VIDEO) – “The Epstein files are out. The names are real. And after my interview with satanic ritual abuse survivor Max Lowen, one thing is clear — this goes far deeper than one man with a private island. The corruption, the cover-ups, the blackmail — it all points to something most people aren’t ready to hear. What if the world is run by a satanic death cult? And what if the chaos you see everywhere isn’t random — but by design?” – Seth Holehouse on Man in America – MORE ON THE SAME SUBJECT BELOW FROM THE WISE WOLF!!!

Is Our World Ruled by a Satanic, Death Cult? – “Everything I warned people about is now showing up in mainstream reporting. The only difference is they get credibility and I got a destroyed reputation and a drinking problem.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

Or is Clinton just another spoke on a Dayton rim? Or is this nothing more than a diversion from the truth?” – Agent131711

The Craving for a Concierge of Depravity – “What Epstein Reveals About the State of the Modern Soul. There are, as of this writing, two kinds of people in the world. There are those hunched over their screens at ungodly hours, cross-referencing flight logs with redacted email addresses, building sprawling digital corkboards connected by red string they can almost feel between their fingers — and then there are the rest, who scrolled past the latest Epstein disclosure somewhere between a reel of someone’s golden retriever and a fifteen-second pasta recipe. Both camps, as it turns out, are symptomatic of the same disease. But we will get to that. The documents keep coming. Names keep surfacing. The constellation of figures implicated in the orbit of Jeffrey Epstein reads less like a scandal and more like the guest list for the annual meeting of whichever invisible committee actually runs the world:” – A Lily Bit

Distraction From Distraction – “First came the Epstein files, which seem to implicate half of the West’s ruling class in bafflingly monstrous crimes. Then, perhaps to distract us from those crimes, came the announcement that the US is about to invade Iran, home of a major oil supply route and lots of missiles. Then, perhaps to distract us from Epstein and Iran, there’s this: Trump says he’ll ask DOD to release files on ‘UFOs,’ ‘alien and extraterrestrial life’” – John Rubino

That said, given the present circumstances, with Trump/Netanyahu poised to attack/regime change Iran, with no hopeful outcome for peace negotiations, who is the bad guy/madman here? Is it Iran—subjected to US starvation-sanctions for more than a decade? And what was it Iran did to suffer that penalty? Was it their support for a 2 state solution in Palestine? Was it their membership in BRICS? Was it their participation in BeltRoad? Trump and Netanyahu know that Iran is vital to BeltRoad, and without Iran it’s not viable.

Why We Fight Wrongful Wars – “Ours Not to Reason Why. If you’re looking to “your” military to resist wrongful wars, you’re looking in the wrong place. I should know. I was still on active duty in 2003 during the run-up to the disastrous Iraq War. Let’s be blunt: We are not supposed to go to war based on presidential whims, pressure from foreign powers like Israel, corporate profits, imperial dominance, and similar imperatives. Only Congress has the power to declare war in the name of the American people. And, let’s face it, “our” government treats we the people like mushrooms, keeping us in the dark while feeding us bullshit. Along with being actively misled, warmongers like Dick Cheney simply don’t care what the people think. As Cheney infamously replied when he was told the American people were losing faith in the Iraq War: “So?” Who cares? America’s leaders don’t care what you think. They don’t require your approval—only your obedience.” – Bill Astore

Israeli Spying After Epstein – “The verdict is in: Epstein was a spy! And, despite what the MSM says, he wasn’t making Kompromat for his KGB komrades so much as he was wheeling and dealing for his friends, the Israelis. In addition to the many, many ties to Israel I listed in my 10 Things I Learned from the Epstein Files editorial, more and more data continues to emerge showing how Epstein worked with his pal (and ex-Israeli Prime Minister) Ehud Barak to secure contracts and achieve diplomatic objectives for Israel.” – The Corbett Report

Epstein’s Trafficking Accomplice Demanded $3 Million to Stop Him Blowing Whistle to Feds, Then Went Dark – “Newly released Justice Department files reveal that French modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel, the man prosecutors describe as one of child predator’s key recruiters of underage girls, was prepared in 2016 to blow the whistle to U.S. authorities and expose the inner workings of the trafficking network. Then everything stopped when Brunel suddenly went dark. Brunel is considered to be one of Epstein’s most significant child sex trafficking accomplices. Prosecutors believe that Brunel received money to stop him from blowing the whistle on Epstein’s network. The bought silence explains why federal authorities failed to act despite being briefed. Epstein was arrested in 2019 and died in a Manhattan jail cell later that year. Brunel was arrested in France in 2020 on rape and trafficking-related allegations. In 2022, he was found dead in his prison cell.” – Frank Bergman – BOTH DIED IN THEIR PRISON CELLS SUPPOSEDLY. DON’T YOU THINK THAT’S A LITTLE STRANGE!!!!!!!!!!

Trump to “Send a Great Hospital Boat to Greenland” Why? No One Knows – “Neither the White House nor those allegedly involved are answering any questions. “Working with the fantastic Governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, we are going to send a great hospital boat to Greenland to take care of the many people who are sick, and not being taken care of there. It’s on the way!!! President DJT”. Trump is delusional.”- Mish.

ECONOMIC NEWS

THE DEEPER DIVE: Tariff Turmoil and Tantrums – “Friday was the day everything fell apart for King Donald McRonald. The Supreme Court finally got up the courage to tell the wannabe emperor he cannot declare fake emergencies and use those fakes to seize power that is not his to take. For many of us, that was always obvious. Those who understand the constitution, know that congress controls the purse strings; and those who are still rational know that trade emergencies (the ground Trump used for seizing the power of the purse) are not situations that have existed through more than half a century of flourishing trade! On Friday, the Supreme Court told the Clown King that any problem that has been fostering growth for years is not an “emergency.” It may be a problem in that things could have been even better, but it clearly is not an emergency.” – David Haggith

Supreme Court Tariff “Bomb”? Fears of a $200 Billion Refund Shock Are Overdone – “Markets are overreacting to headlines about a $175–200 billion tariff refund financial hole. However, the Supreme Court ruling opens a long, narrow, and manageable process, not an imminent fiscal crisis.” – Daniel Lacalle

Why Top Investors Are Drastically Reducing Dollar Exposure – “As a general rule, I don’t recommend blindly following institutional investors. After all, their incentives are different from yours. They manage quarterly performance pressure. They answer to boards and beneficiaries. They navigate regulatory frameworks most of us never think about. But I also don’t ignore them. When pension funds, sovereign wealth funds and global asset managers start moving in the same direction, I pay attention – not because they’re always right, but because they control enough capital that their decisions create trends.” – Peter Reagan

US Treasury Debt-to-GDP Ratio Rises to 122% in Q4, Highest since Covid Spike – “The ugly debt monster grew faster than current-dollar GDP.” – Wolf Richter

When the BS Starts Flying, Silver Is Getting Interesting – “You know the silver market is entering a tension zone when two explosive stories hit at once. One claims JPMorgan is secretly short 6.2 billion ounces and must liquidate half within 90 days. The other says a Chinese trader who made $3 billion is massively short silver. Both sound dramatic. Neither says what people think they say. Extraordinary claims require primary evidence — not countdown clocks and anonymous “leaks.” If a systemically important bank truly faced a forced $412 exit, markets would already be repricing everything.” – Kerry Lutz

Why We Should Get Out In Nature More – “As human beings, we are natural creatures, and returning to our roots can help us restore our minds and cultivate the harmony and happiness far too many seem to be missing. Spending time in an outdoor natural space or bringing nature into your everyday life can benefit both your mental and physical wellbeing. For example, doing things like growing food or flowers, exercising outdoors, foraging for wild food, or being around animals can have lots of positive effects.” – Sara Tipton

How Pioneers Tested Their Soil – “Great gardeners make growing look as easy as dropping seeds into the ground and adding water, but there’s usually a little backstory to a successful garden, part of which involves testing the soil quality. Even if you don’t have a fancy soil testing kit, you can still conduct some simple tests to determine your soil’s composition and PH. Sure, you can wing it, but if you want to maximize yields and minimize crop failure, getting to know your soil intimately is important.” – Francesca Hernandez Singer

VERSE FOR THE DAY

Leviticus 26:23-24 And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me; Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.

IMAGE FOR THE DAY

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

Jesus Christ told the Jews

your father is Satan.

If you were God’s children,

you know who I am.

Jesus Christ told the Jews.

You want to kill me.

The devil’s your father,

not old Abraham.

They said [to Jesus,

“We know where we come from.”

Abraham’s seed can’t be denied

If you were true children.

You’d know me and love me.

You belong to the father of lies

Jesus Christ told the Jews.

Your father is Satan.

If you were God’s children, the son you would love.

You want to kill me.

You’re from the devil

Not children of

The father of above

Jesus Christ told the Jews

the seed won’t bring salvation.

Redemption’s not something genetic

If Jesus was walking the streets.

Now among us

That they call him anti-semitic

If Jesus was walking the streets.

Here below now

Imagine the things they would say

He’s anti-semitic

That sure sounds like hate speech

How come he thinks that he can talk that way

If Jesus was preaching

Out on the streets now

Imagine the lies and the smears

But look on the bright side

They give him the big prize

And crown him anti-semite of the year

But look on the bright side

They give him the big prize

And crown him anti-semite of the year

THE BIG PICTURE

Sic Transit Gloria Mundi – Could This Really Be The End of “Royal” “Families? Of Our Disgusting “Elites”? – “The ridiculous bloated “Prince” Andrew was arrested on Thursday not for his sexual transgressions but for giving information on U.K. trade deals to Epstein – so Epstein could sell insider information, exhaustively detailed here.. It was how Andrew paid tribute for the ‘gift’ of teens and bailing out his equally grotesque ex-wife, the money grubbing “please marry me, Jeffrey,” Sarah Ferguson. Deflection is pretty much the case regarding everyone fired due to Epstein association so far. Though the former Prime Minister of Norway, Thorbjorn Jagland was charged with “gross corruption”, instead of raping children. Thomas Pritsker, cousin of the wretched Governor of Illinois, head of Hyatt Hotels, resigned. Tax evasion on grand scale? Sex with toddlers? Unknown so far. Sultan Ahamed Bin Sulyem – chief of Dubai DP World is gone – he was the monster that “loved that torture video”.” – Elizabeth Nickson – QUITE THE LIST, WITH I’M SURE MORE TO COME!!!

Operation Trust: The 100-Year-Old Soviet Psyop Repackaged As Qanon And The MAGA Movement – “The Great Reset and the Great Awakening are one and the same: any path you pick may look different, but it ends at the same destination. It is new lies for old. We have heard for years the many promises and slogans echoed by Trump, both his former and current administration officials, and the political pundits that supported (and still voraciously support) him, to sell the public the message of prosperity and victory. “Make America Great Again.” “Drain the swamp.” “Golden Age.” “America First.” “End the Deep State.” “4-D Chess.” “Removing Abuse, Fraud, and Waste.” “Great Awakening.” “Restore the Republic.” “The Storm.” “Red Pill.” “Defeat the Globalists.” “Fall Cabal.” “Hopium” “Winning.” “Where We Go One, We Go All” . “White Hats” “Trust the Plan.” That last phrase is the most important one. TRUST.” – The WinePress – GOOD READ FROM THE WINEPRESS!!!!

Trump Secretary Silent as Sons Poised to Make Bank From End of Tariffs – “The Supreme Court decision striking down Donald Trump’s many tariffs may prove to be a windfall for the family of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, a key architect of Trump’s signature economic policy. In July, Wired reported that Cantor Fitzgerald, which Lutnick chaired until he was appointed to Trump’s Cabinet, was allowing its traders to purchase the rights to hundreds of millions of dollars of refunds in the event the tariffs were struck down in court. The firm now happens to be headed by Lutnick’s sons Kyle and Brandon.” – Hafiz Rashid – IMAGINE THAT.

Records reveal Texas man killed last March was shot by immigration agent – “Texas Rep. Gina Hinojosa (D-Austin), who’s currently in the running for governor, says she has filed a Public Information Act and a legislative oversight inquiry for the release of body camera and dashcam footage related to the fatal shooting. She included the following statement in a Friday evening release: “A young man was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Texas and it took investigative reporters and a FOIA request to find out about it a year later. This is unacceptable. An American died at the hands of a federal agent and no one knew. This complete lack of accountability is a threat to all Americans and all Texans.” said Hinojosa. “This is now the third American citizen to be shot and killed by ICE in the streets. How many more people have been shot and killed that we don’t know about?” – Mack Shaw

Iran, Bunker Busters And Empire First – “When it comes to the dangerous misgovernance of our tottering American Republic, there is no more deadly combination imaginable than– The sweeping unchecked powers of the imperial presidency. A $1 trillion per year war machine which is organized mainly for conduct of wars of invasion and occupation and the propagation of Empire and which stands at the unilateral beck and call of the POTUS.

The demands imposed on Iran by the Trump White House are no more acceptable to the regime in Tehran than those imposed on Hamas in Gaza under Trump’s sham peace plan.” – Chris Hedges

ECONOMIC NEWS

Grinding the American Middle Class to Dust – “The housing market, for much of the 20th century, was the bedrock of the American Dream. Home ownership, and the financial stability it represents, was a sure path to middle-class prosperity. That dream turned to a nightmare for many American families during the epic real estate bubble and subsequent bust in 2008-09. Now the crumbling façade of American real estate and the associated economic squeeze has become too great to ignore. We’ve reached the point where discretionary income, the money left over after you’ve paid for basic needs, has effectively vanished for much of the population. When 67 percent of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, saving for a down payment is impossible.” – MN Gordon

The latest growth and employment numbers suggest that “this could be a very good year,” said Larry Kudlow. “Growth,” they all agreed, will surprise everyone. Today, let’s keep our eye on the golden ball. The South China Morning Post reports: China wants its banks to hold fewer US Treasuries. This is the problem that the new man at the Fed, Warsh, will face. Even with improving monthly deficits, he’ll have about $10 trillion in debt to finance or roll over in the next twelve months. And he’ll have fewer people who want it to roll over on them.” – Bill Bonner

If ‘Cash Is King’, Berkshire Hathaway Leads The World – “Which Companies Hold the Most Cash? Berkshire Hathaway leads the rankings with an impressive $382 billion. Why Buffett Holds So Much Cash Among the top 50 companies, the Financials sector collectively holds the largest cash reserves at $1.2 trillion—partially driven by strict capital rules requiring banks to maintain large liquid buffers. Berkshire Hathaway is different: its cash position is strategic, not regulatory. After 12 straight quarters as a net seller of stocks, Buffett and the team have parked much of the company’s liquidity in short-term U.S. Treasury bills, implying that equity valuations look expensive.” – Tyler Durden
