THE BIG PICTURE NEWS

Crisis Is the Norm in Domestic War, but This Country and the World Are in Crisis by Design – “It should have become obvious by this time that ‘crisis’ management political policy is the new war being waged against society as a whole, in order for the state and its masters to gain total control over every aspect of human life, regardless of the dire consequences to the rest of us. How does it feel to be completely inconsequential to the ruling element of this nation and others, while the wealthy controlling few at the top decide whether you are to work, to travel, to be free, to be with family and friends, to eat, to keep warm, and even to live or die?” – Gary D. Barnett  – ANOTHER EXCELLENT READ FROM GARY, HE HAS BEEN ON A ROLL THIS PAST WEEK!!!!!!!

Of Economic Crises and Pandemics: Facebook as Fact, Government as Truth, Big Pharma as God – “If events since March 2020 have shown us anything, it is that fear is a powerful weapon for securing hegemony. Any government can manipulate fear about certain things while conveniently ignoring real dangers that a population faces. In the US, Fauci presented himself as ‘the science’. In New Zealand, Ardern was ‘the truth’. It was similar in countries across the world – different figures but the same approach.” – Colin Todhunter

Are the 2020 Covid PsyOps starting again? – “Is China at it once more? But it seems along with the zero-Covid policy reversal is a new swathe of psy-op propaganda.

NEWS

2022 In Review – ” The theme to last year’s predictions was that things would get crazier and that is objectively true. While I did not specifically call Kanye West becoming America’s leading white nationalist, the mere fact that it happened confirms that we have reached a new level of crazy. We do not live in interesting times. We live in an age of general lunacy.” – The Z Man

Searching for Monsters – “Congress has permitted the feds to charge whomever they please for foreign crimes committed elsewhere against foreign victims, and it has directed federal courts to hear these cases. This will open the floodgates to more U.S. government kidnappings and expand radically the power of American presidents to seize political or journalist adversaries abroad just to silence them. It also gives American presidents another tool for war below the radar as they can now legally — but not constitutionally — send small armies of federal agents dressed in military garb and possessing military gear into any countries the president chooses in order to extract someone the president hates or fears. This is not the rule of law. This is the rule of brute force. And because no American need be harmed and no American law need be broken, the president can target literally any foreigner he chooses. Lest one think my warnings are fanciful, this has already happened.” – Andrew P. Napolitano

BlackRock Logo To Be Added To Ukrainian Flag – “Kyiv has announced the addition of a fifth corporate logo to the Ukrainian flag following news that BlackRock will be playing a crucial role in the reconstruction of the nation. The world’s largest investment management firm will join Raytheon Technologies, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, and McDonald’s upon the now-omnipresent blue and yellow flag.” – Caitlin Johnstone

The Final Act of the Omnibus Monstrosity Is Truly Unbelievable – ” Our government is so incompetent, bloated, and wasteful that it passed a bill that wasn’t ready to be signed and is now having to fly it to the Caribbean because our do-nothing president refused to wait a day before heading out on his umpteenth vacation since taking office. And that’s all going to happen on the dime of taxpayers. Think about that. The omnibus bill, which is just 4,000 inanimate pages, is going to have a better, more expensive winter vacation than you are. If that’s not the perfect description of everything wrong with our government, I don’t know what is.” – Bonchie

Title 42 And Stupidity- “Biden claims Title 42 is no longer required because there is no longer a pandemic emergency but he has not dropped the Public Health Emergency order and in fact recently extended it.In short you can’t claim there’s a pandemic only when it suits your political and economic purposes, and not when it doesn’t. Either the underlying event still exists or it does not. ” – Karl Denninger – KARL ALWAYS SEEMS TO COME UP WITH GREAT POINTS THAT OTHERS EITHER SEEM TO MISS OR IGNORE!!!!

Marjorie Taylor Greene says it’s time to ‘bomb cartels’ – “We should bomb the cartels because they are an international criminal organization murdering our people by lacing deadly fentanyl from China in drugs they illegally sell across our border to US citizens.” – Roberto Wakerell-Cruz

The Truth Is Not Important to Conservative Leaders – They Are Anti-Christ – “It was very obvious that all these sleazebag conservatives were going to fink on Donald Trump the first chance they got. Sean Hannity is no better than Mitch McConnell or Marco Rubio. He’s going to tell you that the most important thing in the world is removing Vladimir Putin from office and installing an extremist anal government in Russia. eriously – what the hell do “conservatives” think when they see this guy doing a serious interview with a boomer in high heels? Why do they think they’re not going to get wiped out like Sodom and Gomorrah? This week, it was revealed that Hannity, giving testimony for a lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Machines, said that he “never once” believed that the 2020 election was a hoax. This is moronic, as everyone knows the election was a complete farce” – Andrew Anglin

Happy Kwanzaa! The Holiday Brought to You By the FBI – “Celebrated exclusively by white liberals, Kwanzaa is a fake holiday invented in 1966 by black radical/FBI stooge Ron Karenga — aka Dr. Maulana Karenga, founder of United Slaves, the violent nationalist rival to the Black Panthers. Liberals have become so mesmerized by multicultural gibberish that they have forgotten the real history of Kwanzaa and Karenga’s United Slaves. It’s as if David Duke invented a holiday called “Anglika,” which he based on the philosophy of “Mein Kampf” — and clueless public schoolteachers began celebrating the made-up, racist holiday.” – Ann Coulter  –  A LITTLE HISTORY LESSON FOR YOU ALL!!!!!

The Solution to the Airline Flight Cancellation Fiasco is Easy, Do Nothing – “Inadequate technology systems offer one explanation why a brutal winter storm turned into a debacle. Amazingly, Paul Krugman gets things mostly right. Congress should stay out of it. So should Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. And so should President Biden.” – Mish

ECONOMIC NEWS

Americans Spent More on Christmas This Year, But Not Because They’re Prosperous – “The most expensive time of the year is winding down and the numbers are in. Retail sales ended up being 7.6% higher for Christmas 2022 than for Christmas 2021. While that sounds like a good sign that Americans spent more, it isn’t because they are more prosperous. They spent more because everything costs more. Inflation, officially up by 5.5%, has created artificial hope for those who look at the statistics without context.” – Ashley Allen Reade

The “Mega-Bubbles” Have Started To Burst, And That Could Mean Unprecedented Financial Chaos Is Ahead – “The Federal Reserve giveth, and the Federal Reserve taketh away. In a desperate attempt to help the U.S. economy recover from the horrific economic crisis of 2008 and 2009, the Federal Reserve pushed interest rates all the way to the floor and kept them at or near the floor until 2022.” – Michael Snyder

While they disagree on the timing and severity, they’re fairly uniform otherwise:” – Peter Reagan

While we all know what to do when the lights go out, it is worth mentioning a few things that we should definitely not do.” – Michael major

Let’s take a further look at why and when one should buy used and which items are worth purchasing new vs. used.” – Shannon Flynn
