THE BIG PICTURE NEWS

Like Elon Musk, I’m a speciesist and proud of it – “Against both Big Tech fatalists and eco-loons, we must stand up for the specialness of humankind. The elites’ erasure of the moral boundary between man and beast is now replicated in the scrubbing away of any distinction between man and machine. Animals should be our equals, machines will one day be our superiors – that’s the dual rallying cry of a cultural establishment that has completely lost faith in the human species; which sees us as a swarm to be managed, at best, and a plague on the planet at worst.” – Brendan O’Neill  – GOOD READ FROM BRENDAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scientists Still Warning Of The “Next Pandemic” – “We’ve been hearing since COVID-19 became a fear-mongering propaganda tool that the next pandemic is coming. The ongoing rhetoric hasn’t stopped, and the “experts” are reissuing the same warning once again and claiming we aren’t prepared for what’s coming.” – Mac Slavo

U.S. Senate declares ‘case closed’ on origins of Covid, effectively whitewashing the crime of the century – “Once again, the U.S. government, investigating itself, withholds vital information from the American public” – Leo Hohmann

Hunger Profiteers, Granny Killers and Skin-Deep Morality – “Great game food geopolitics continue and result in elite interests playing with the lives of hundreds of millions who are regarded as collateral damage. Policies, underpinned by neoliberal dogma masquerading as economic science and necessity, which are designed to create dependency and benefit a handful of multi-billionaires and global agribusiness corporations who, ably assisted by the World Bank, IMF and WTO, now preside over an increasingly centralised food regime. Many of these corporations have engaged in rampant profiteering at a time when people across the world are experiencing rising food inflation.” – Colin Todhunter

Government green-lights SEVENTH covid shot, as Pfizer loyalty card meme becomes an FDA authorized reality – “FDA deauthorizes old Covid vaccines that don’t work so that people take newer Covid vaccines that don’t work” – Jordan Schachtel

Disaster Troll Propaganda – “We have to use the term “conspiracy theory” advisedly because, as we shall see, conspiracy theory, as we understand the term, doesn’t exist. “Conspiracy theory” is really just an opinion that the state does not wish anyone to either hold or express.Like the RESTRICT Act in the US and the EU’s Digital Services Act, the UK’s Online Safety Bill proposes to exploit alleged threats and legitimate safety concerns for the purpose of censoring free speech and freedom of expression. ” – Iain Davis

Unpacking “The Conversation” of the Pentagon Papers – “Uncovering the techniques of control are just uncovering the mechanics. In this case, however, it looks like it is uncovering the agenda, but I don’t think that’s the case here. This is a serious issue going forward. Distrusting those with power goes without saying. We’re all operating in this space with this basic drive. No doubt, there. It’s our duty to uncover truths, but it’s also important to question our own frameworks, lest we become reflexive repeaters of the very disinformation we believe we are uncovering. So, in this case to dismiss the Pentagon Papers as just another control technique may feel right but be completely wrong because it assumes the basic fallacy of this period of history, that there is only one big club vying for control over the West.” – Tom Luongo

Secrecy Versus Truth – “Is Teixeira a pawn for folks in the government far senior to him who believe that the United States needs to cease its criminal foray into the Russia/Ukraine war? Or should he be prosecuted because government agents have risked their lives to amass data about Russia and the compromise of this data can be fatal to them and their sources? I look at this from the perspective of the natural human right to search for and reveal the truth. What we have here is either Teixeira operating on his own in an effort to impress acquaintances whom he barely knew or Teixeira as a pawn for government officials repulsed by Biden administration policies.” – Judge Andrew P. Napolitano

30 Years Later, Waco is Still Damning – “Thirty years ago, FBI tanks smashed into the ramshackle home of the Branch Davidians outside Waco, Texas. After the FBI collapsed much of the building atop the residents, a fire erupted and 76 corpses were dug out of the rubble. Unfortunately, the American political system and media have never honestly portrayed the federal abuses and political deceit that led to that carnage. It Is Not an Atrocity If the U.S. Government Does It” – James Bovard

The Useful Veneer of the Aging Democrat – “The new majority of radical Democrats allows the old fogies to bask in the limelight until they drop because these codgers mask their revolutionary intentions.” – Victor Davis Hanson

Macron’s Europe – “France’s president has proven himself to be a well-oiled weathervane. What he says on Monday may not match what he says or does on Wednesday. But his remarks while visiting China are interesting in several ways.” – Patrick Lawrence

The Never Ending Fantasy – “For months now, the collective West has been talking about the great Ukrainian counter-offensive that is due any day now. It looks like we are now getting a new narrative structure in time for the great Ukrainian counter-offensive and it is also from the Second World War. This new narrative structure builds on the D-Day landings. This is a pattern that goes back much further. The war in Iraq followed a similar arc as this proxy war with Russia. Back then, the narrative makers told the politicians that the Iraqis would “welcome us a liberators.” Many of the same people involved in that debacle are involved in this one.” – The Z Man

Republican lawmakers to Biden: no more ‘unrestrained aid’ to Ukraine – “Sens. Lee, Paul, and Vance lead the charge, saying they’ll oppose aid until there’s a clear diplomatic plan for ending the war.” – Kelley Beaucar Vlahos

Washington Is Determined To Turn Taiwan Into The Next Ukraine (VIDEO) – “Bloomberg has reported that the US has struck a deal to sell 400 ground-based Harpoon missiles to Taiwan, which will increase tensions with China.

MSM WARNINGS ON FOOD SHORTAGES. DEMAND FOR PHYSICAL SILVER HITS RECORD HIGH (VIDEO) – Gregory Mannarino –  GREG ON THE ECONOMY AND THE BIGGER PICTURE!!!!

There Is “No Physical Gold And Silver Available In Any Quantity” – “Watching the gold price in the last few days has been interesting. Every time the bullion banks try to mark it down, the buyers come in and the price then shoots up. Today, they took it down to $1,969 before it bounced back $27 in a matter of a few hours. Buyers, many of which will stand for delivery, have learned the game played on Comex and are quietly using it to remove all liquidity. The situation in silver is even more extreme. It was marked down 60 cents before the buyers cleaned out the market, squeezing the bears so hard that the price is now up on the day. But there is no physical gold and silver available in any quantity, and the deposit run on regional banks is driving retail demand for coins. And the banking crisis has only just started.” – Alasdair Macleod   – BETTER GET SOME SILVER AND GOLD WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!!!

Over the Falls: Credit, Collateral, Risk, Asset Valuations – “Together, these factors generate a self-reinforcing cycle of debt saturation, declining collateral and credit contraction. If we want to understand where the economy is going, credit and risk are good places to start. Credit/debt is how the system creates and distributes money: when a home buyer gets a mortgage to buy a house, that mortgage increases the money supply. When the mortgage is paid off, the money supply contracts. The mortgage is secured by two things: the income of the buyer and the house, which is the collateral for the loan. Risk is integral to credit.” – Charles Hugh Smith

How To Make Personal Hygiene Items In A Survival Scenario – “In a survival situation, personal hygiene may not be a top priority initially, but eventually, it becomes a luxury. While these items may not be readily available post-disaster, it’s wise to create and store your own emergency supply for personal use or bartering. The homemade products listed in this article are chemical-free and beneficial for your health, reducing your dependence on commercial substances.” – Bob Rodgers

A Prepper’s Perspective on Bartering with Gold and Silver – “As the Bolivar – Venezuela’s national currency – lost its value, people had to resort to other means of trade to acquire essential goods. The use of precious metals like gold and silver became increasingly popular, as they retain their value despite economic turmoil. It’s important to note that this method of bartering wasn’t only for the wealthy; even small quantities of these metals could make a significant difference in survival.” – M.D. Creekmore  – ONCE AGAIN, MORE ON BARTERING AND MORE ON SILVER!!!!
