THE BIG PICTURE NEWS

Sorry, This Is Not Going Away – “The kids are two years behind in education. Inflation still rages. White-collar jobs are disappearing thanks to the reversal of Fed policy. Household finances are a wreck. The medical industry is in upheaval. Trust in government has never been lower. Major media too is discredited. Young people are dying at levels never seen. Populations are still on the move from lockdown states to where it is less likely. Surveillance is everywhere, and so is political persecution. Public health is in a disastrous state, with substance abuse and obesity all at new records. Each one of these, and many more besides, are continued fallout from the pandemic response that began in March 2020. And yet here we are 38 months later and we still don’t have honesty or truth about the experience. This is the period of the great silence. We’ve all noticed it.” – Jeffrey A. Tucker

Geoengineering Watch Global Alert News, May 20, 2023 (VIDEO) – “It’s not just industrial pollution and auto exhaust contaminating our atmosphere, a new science study confirms the “widespread presence of pathogens” in our skies. Clean air is now no more. “Climate scientists” are now referring to weather as being “scary” while global climate engineering operations continue to be officially denied. Record heat and raging wildfires are torching millions of acres in Canada and Siberia while freeze warnings are issued in regions of the Northeastern US, what’s wrong with this picture?” – Dane Wigington

According to Plan – “You can’t possibly know how corrupt the government is. The entirety of it is designed to keep you from discovering the extent of it, what they have done, who’s done it and what their agenda-driven purpose for doing it was. This was the only facts that came out of the Durham Report. The very word “treason” is treated as some sort of epithet hurled against them rather than an actual charge for which they would face the firing squad. But treason it is and the most vile form of it. While accusing citizens of extremist behavior for which they might be approached at their homes in the early morning hours with a SWAT van parked on the immaculate lawn, these treasonous departments, whole corrupt bureaucracies of individuals, continue committing treason and furthering the corruption while imprisoning those who discover and attempt to expose it. Why? What is it in their logical assessment of the situation that makes this acceptable? Because exposing the corruption and bringing charges against them for treason would undermine the stability of the entirety of government.” – T.L. Davis  – ONCE AGAIN A GREAT READ FROM T.L.!!!!!

A Closed System – “There is so much going on we don’t know about. Like I’ve said before, we definitely have reached that critical point of being a “closed system.” The mainstream media are all in on it, so they control the flow of information. No one knows what is happening unless they literally see it or experience it. It is fascinating how if you don’t receive reliable information about what’s going on, you really don’t know at all . . . even in your own neighbourhood. Obviously some of us know more than others. That’s because we look for different news sources other than NYT, CNN, WSJ or WP, or whatever other mainstream media that inundates us with junk, untruths, and lies. We are lucky to still have alternative news, and even that isn’t always reliable. The sheep have been trained to believe the alternative news is all conspiracy, misinformation, and hogwash at best. I won’t even say what they believe “at worst.”” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP  – GREAT READ FROM TODD AS WELL!!!!

Orange Man and Franco – “Francisco Franco – the caudillo of Spain – understood that you cannot reason with communists. You cannot persuade or mollify them. You can only stop them. And he did. It will probably take a man such as Franco to deal with the communists – and let’s speak plainly of them – who have infested this country like termites in a soggy log. Is that man the Orange Man? He seems to understand what Franco knew. That you do not play nice with communists, who aim to destroy you. It is why the Orange Man’s recent bitch-slapping (almost literally) of the “nasty” woman who had no interest in interviewing him was so wildly cheered. This is how you deal with such people. And Orange Man did. But was it just for show? As it was before? Orange Man says – or sounds as if he says – many things that many would like to hear. And more to the point, are desperate to hear someone say. And for someone to do. This accounts for the devotion of Orange Man’s followers. To be fair to the Orange Man, there were some things he did do that amounted to more than just talking about them. But then he showed himself to be a weak man. He stood aside – literally – and let the communists weaponize hypochondria. He even did what the communists demanded – and wore a “mask.”” – Eric Peters

More Biden ‘Loon-acy’ in Japan as He Manages to Insult the South Korean President – “Biden just met with President Yoon of South Korea last month. However, Biden just called him “President Loon” while he was answering questions from the press in Japan. I’m thinking it isn’t the South Korean president who is the “loon” here. Imagine the conversation that the underlings are going to have to have with the South Koreans to apologize for this one, “Our loon didn’t mean to call your guy Yoon a ‘Loon.’” I wouldn’t want to be in their position.” – Nick Arama

MSNBC labels Ron DeSantis ‘pro-white supremacy’ – “When a potential GOP presidential candidate has a brilliant track record — so attractive that new residents flee Dem-ruled areas to his state by the hundreds of thousands, and he turns a narrow first term victory into a double-digit rout for re-election — the Dems realize they have a major problem looming. It’s time to roll out charges of “racism” using the current approved terminology, “white supremacy,” as signaled by Joe Biden at his Howard University commencement speech.” – Thomas Lifson

Gun Industry Writes To Congress As Imminent Ban Threatens 40 Million Firearms – “On June 1st, the Biden Pistol Ban is set to go into effect. This rule, concocted by the bureaucrats at ATF, criminalizes ownership of an estimated 40 million firearms currently in possession by law-abiding citizens. According to the final rule, gun owners who possess braced firearms will have to destroy, reconfigure, register, and turn in their firearms to ATF, or face NFA violations which include $250,000 in fines and a hefty prison sentence. This rule will have some of the most wide-reaching impacts nationwide compared to other ATF administrative rulemaking actions.” – Gun Owners of America

WATCH – Floridian Demands $3M for Each Black Citizen: ‘We Want Our Reparations’ (VIDEO) – “He dismissed leaders’ talks about homelessness and police violence as garbage, claiming no one cared about those issues, “We care about our reparations. And we have to put White people on notice that we want our reparations. Our foreparents and us didn’t work for free and [get] underpaid and all this nonsense and the White folks get away with it,” ” – Amy Furr – CURIOUS HOW MANY YEARS THIS MAN WAS A SLAVE AND WORKED FOR FREE !!!!!!

Is Self-Defense Becoming Illegal? – “If someone you love were threatened, or physically attacked, do you have the right to defend them? And even more so, when police are being defunded and when criminals are being released on the streets, do you have a right to protect yourself? Do you have to just let things happen? Must you just watch while innocent people are victimized by criminals? Well, that’s the question currently on trial in New York. That’s the case of Jordan Neely.” – Joshua Philipp

SOMETHING STRANGE IS HAPPENING IN CHICAGO (VIDEO) – Really Graceful  – GOOD VIDEO!!!!!!

Forget gun control and fix the criminal justice system – Cam Edwards

Adventures in NATOstan: Sparks Flying in Ibiza, Locked Down Bilderberg in Lisbon – “With G7 “leadership” mired in a sticky swamp of intellectual shallowness, predictably the only agenda in colonized Japan was more sanctions on Russia. Let’s start with a graphic depiction of where the Global North and the Global South really stand.” – Pepe Escobar

The G7 Has Central Asia In Its Sights – “While plunging Central Asia into chaos has always been one of the US’ plans, it appears to be recalibrating its approach nowadays in response to the multipolar processes that accelerated across the world since the start of Russia’s special operation 15 months ago. Instead of destabilizing those countries, it seems that the West wants to show the world that it can “poach” them from the Sino-Russo Entente through a combination of information warfare, sanctions pressure, and better economic deals.” – Andrew Korybko

Ukraine Admits Murdering “Quite A Few” Russian Civilians Who Back Putin And His Invasion – “A senior Ukrainian official has admitted that his country has assassinated “quite a few” Russian civilians who support Putin and his war to assert control of the Donbas region. In an interview with The Times of London, Major General Kyrylo Budanov, who heads Ukraine’s military intelligence service, also promised more attacks are to come. ” – Tyler Durden

Where did all the money go? Ukraine’s organized military loses major stronghold city to Russian mercenaries – “$150 billion later, Americans remain with unanswered questions about Kiev’s stumbling armed forces.” – Jordan Schachtel

ECONOMIC NEWS

BlackRock Takes Big Stake In Sprott Silver PSLV ETF – “Doesn’t matter if BlackRock holds onto the PSLV, the Institutional Waterfall buying is coming. So, I can see how this looks like the EVIL DARKSTAR. But, the simple answer is likely quite simple. Blackrock wanted exposure to the silver price.” – SRSrocco Report  – NOT SURE WHERE THIS IS GOING WHETHER IT WILL MEAN MORE MANIPULATION OR JUST THE OPPOSITE IN THE SILVER MARKET. AS EVERYONE KNOWS BLACKROCK DOESN’T DO MUCH WHERE IT DOESN’T MAKE MONEY, WILL BE WATCHING THIS MOVE FOR A WHILE. STEVE SEEMS TO THINK THERE WILL BE MORE INSTITUTIONAL BUYING AND THAT COULD BE A GOOD THING FOR SILVER. GET IT WHILE YOU CAN!!!!!!

Dollar Woes to Debt Denial: The USA Is Screwed – “De-Dollarization is a real, all too real trend, though it is both fascinating and disturbing to see what is otherwise so obvious being deliberately down-played, excused or ignored from the top down. But then again, the laundry list of ignored facts and open lies from the top down to hide hard truths in everything from inflation data to recessionary debt traps is nothing new. Instead, such propaganda replacing blunt transparency is the new normal (and classic trick) for all historical endings to debt-soaked (and failing) nations/systems and their fork-tongued (i.e., guilty) policy makers. De-Dollarization, of course, is a gradual rather than over-night process.” – Matthew Piepenburg

Catastrophic Borrowing Kills Global Financial System (VIDEO) with John Rubino – “In a well-run society, the debt limit would be zero. Governments should not borrow money in the first place. The amount of money we are borrowing is catastrophic. Historians are going to look back at this era, and they are just going to wonder why we allowed it to happen and what were we thinking. We are destroying the global financial system by allowing governments to borrow this much money.” – Greg Hunter

30-Year Mortgage Rates Approaching 7 Percent Again, Housing Will Suffer – “The 30-year mortgage rate is 6.90 percent. For now, expect continued housing weakness.” – Mish

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

There’s somethin’ wrong with the world today
I don’t know what it is
Something’s wrong with our eyes

And God knows it ain’t his
It sure ain’t no surprise

Livin’ on the edge
Livin’ on the edge
Livin’ on the edge

There’s somethin’ wrong with the world today
The light bulb’s gettin dim
There’s meltdown in the sky

If you can judge a wise man
By the color of his skin
Then mister you’re a better man than I

Livin’ on the edge
You can’t help yourself from fallin’
Livin’ on the edge
You can’t help yourself at all
Livin’ on the edge
You can’t stop yourself from fallin’
Livin’ on the edge

Tell me what you think about your sit-u-a-tion
Complication – aggravation

If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin’
Even if it wasn’t would you still come crawlin’
Back again
I bet you would my friend
Again & again & again & again & again

Tell me what you think about your sit-u-a-tion
Complication – aggravation
Is getting to you

If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin’
Even if it was would you still come crawlin’
Back again
I bet you would my friend
Again & again & again & again

Something right with the world today
And everybody knows it’s wrong
But we can tell ’em no or we could let it go
But I’d would rather be a hanging on

Livin’ on the edge
Livin’ on the edge
Livin’ on the edge
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Livin’ on the edge
You can’t help yourself
You can’t help yourself
Livin’ on the edge
You can’t help yourself at all
Livin’ on the edge
You can’t help yourself
You can’t help yourself
Livin’ on the edge
You can’t help yourself
You can’t help yourself
Livin’ on the edge
You can’t help yourself from fallin’
