THE BIG PICTURE

Do We Really Need to Know This? – “Sorry all you scientific types—all of the knowledge in medicine has not necessarily improved our lives if we were living the natural life. Sure, we have made our lives more complicated, therefore more dangerous. For all these “added” things, medicine has been amazing in repairing and healing our bodies. But most of these dangers came about due to us knowing too much to begin with.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

Face Mask Mandates Still Lack Evidence – “The Data Has Not Changed. Sigh…some things never change. Mask mandates are quietly making a comeback, yet the state of the evidence on the utility of such “public health” measures fails to show any demonstrable benefit.” – Peter Nayland Kust

A LOT of Coincidences Surround the Maui Fire That Destroyed Lahaina – Marie Hawthorne

Get ready: Restaurants, ballparks, stores all gearing up to digitize their customers – Leo Hohmann

The Latest PSYOP-23 “Wave” – “So what does this latest wave of death and destruction really look like? They really are banking on a repeat of mass fear and stupidity — that’s the only way this can ever be repeatedly pulled off. Meanwhile, the “Biden” regime and his illegitimate Federal government are spending stolen monies (i.e. theft via taxes) to buy more harmful and fraudulent equipment:” – 2nd Smartest Guy in the World

Maui DEW Attack: People Deliberately Blocked In (VIDEO) – Makia Freeman

Anthony Fauci promotes the use of ventilators to treat covid; despite admitting more than a year ago they do more harm than good – “Within weeks of the pandemic outbreak, it had become apparent that the standard practice of putting covid patients on mechanical ventilation was a death sentence; 76.4% of covid patients, aged 18 to 65, in New York City who were placed on ventilators died. Among patients over age 65 who were vented, the mortality rate was 97.2%, Contrary to Fauci’s claims that the New York City excess mortality was due to a deadly pathogen spreading within the population, Dr. Hockett concludes that the deaths were due to the measures taken in response to the anticipation of a pathogen spreading. Measures which included what Fauci calls “lockdowns.””  – Rhoda Wilson

I Didn’t Realize Asking for Help was Considered Slander – “In Corporate America, calling attention to a statement someone made is not considered slander, it’s called ‘constructive criticism’” – Karen Kingston

Campaign Photo – “What to make of this mugshot? Serious as a heart attack? I’d hate to be you on that fateful day? Table turner? Energy shift? Game on? Daddy’s in da house? Good career move? You can run but you can’t hide? Please, Br’er Fox, don’t fling me in that-there briar patch…! Good luck trying this case, DA Fani Willis. And by all means roll the TV cameras in the courtroom. You are about to supplant the Scopes trial of 1925 as the most notoriously ridiculous piece of legal work in US history.” – James Howard Kunstler

The Burden of Authority – “The power of authority is an illusion sustained by those who recognize it. This is the truth that this entire nation runs on. It didn’t used to be so. The nation used to run on raw reality, often cruel and brutal, but real and tangible. That’s not to be confused with truth, there is no truth, never has been since Man was created. The only truth is that of the Savior, all else is some version of it concocted for the pleasure of the teller. Authority is the avenue that power uses to convey it’s strength to the masses. It isn’t of the people, it isn’t democratic, or even legitimate, but it stands behind titles and badges conferred by the people, but not of the people. Very quickly legitimate authority is co-opted and corrupted to the service of the rich and powerful or well-connected.” – T.L. Davis

Obeying authority can be hazardous to your health – “It’s impossible for all of us to be experts on everything. As such, we need to be able to trust experts and authorities. The problem is, we can’t. For example, we saw what happened during COVID. You need to be skeptical. Especially since there’s evidence that the vaccines weren’t as safe as we were told. Yet now we have an even more egregious example of how complying with authorities can be dangerous. We have Maui.” – Tom Knighton

Ramaswamy is the winner of the first GOP debate – “Biden is the clear loser” – Newt Gingrich

Who Is Vivek Ramaswamy? – “My research uncovered one element of his candidacy that is incredibly spectacular—almost unheard of—for any presidential contender, regardless of political party. I’ll explain as I go along. Obviously, it is still very early, and we have much yet to learn. But at this juncture, and by my seven measuring sticks, Ramaswamy scores pretty high. Vivek’s position against sending aid to Zionist Israel is one of the most encouraging things I’ve seen in a national politician since Ron Paul sat in Congress—and it sets him apart from, well, everybody. ” – Chuck Baldwin  – AS I HAVE STATED, I AM STILL UNSURE OF HIM, BUT IF HE FOLLOWS THROUGH WITH WHAT HE SAYS, THEN HE MAY BE THE REAL DEAL OR IS HE JUST HOT AIR!!!

Getting Vivek’d – “Sometimes, when you know one thing about a person, it’s all you really need to know about that person. Here’s something to know about Vivek Ramaswamy, who wants to be the Republican front-man for president: He favors a confiscatory inheritance tax – which he says will promote a “meritocracy” by dint of eliminating the “problem” (as he sees it) of an unearned advantage possessed by people whose parents leave them a substantial sum of money. Or even any money. He says that the state seizing – and redistributing – the accumulated wealth of a lifetime of work is “a way of redistributing duty.” – Eric Peters  – ERIC SEES THINGS SOMEWHAT DIFFERENTLY THAN CHUCK!!!!

Putin comments on Prigozhin plane crash – “The Russian president described the Wagner chief as “a talented man”. “He’d made serious mistakes in his life, but also got results.”” – RT  – SERIOUS MISTAKES SUCH AS PLANNING A COUP AND GETTING ON A PLANE A MONTH LATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE CABAL Cartel – The Little Shop of Horrors – “France is desperate. Losing their foothold in Africa, they lose money and resources. They want vengeance. Sabotaging a private plane, they killed 7 members of a mercenary organization that could threaten their chance of regaining a foothold in Niger. Putin likely already knows exactly who murdered the men. He will avenge the death of his friends and comrades. The war hawks blame Putin for the assassination mission and tell the media to gobble it up and spit it out. Putin Did It! But he didn’t. The tactics are wrong. Not his style. Putin is subtle. This was a Hollywood stage display. ” – Helena Glass  – INTERESTING TAKE FROM HELENA ON PRIGOZHIN, BRICS AND MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What Goes Up Must Come Down – Including Prigozhin – “The US stock rally is plummeting. US unemployment is falling. China is crashing. Its citizens are fleeing. Its population, declining. And Russia’s military champion fell from the sky like Icarus.” – David Haggith  – INTERESTING READ FROM DAVID!!!

The Anthrax Attacks and The PATRIOT Act – “A revelation from RFK Jr on Tucker. In fact, Tucker didn’t know about the link either and when RFK Jr told him, it took him aback and he replied with “wait, wait, wait, wait, wait…really”!?” So I decided to have a look to see if RFK Jr was correct…and he was, so the timeline of RFK Jr’s revelation is below.” – The Naked Emperor

Untold Story of George Soros’ Worldwide Soft Power Empire – “X CEO Elon Musk dropped a bombshell late Wednesday after confirming that his social media empire would “be filing legal action” to “stop” an attempted crackdown on free speech by politicians and George Soros-funded NGOs justified using trumped-up data on the number of “hate incidents” in the British Isles. George Soros, 93, has been a staple of Western soft power campaigns for well over 40 years, and is perhaps the single most visible face of such efforts (although certainly not the first or only one). His Open Society Foundations spends around $1.5 billion a year from the financier’s vast hedge fund empire to fund “civil society” groups around the globe.” – Ilya Tsukanov

The USDA’s War on Small Farms – David Brady, Jr.

They’re coming for your guns – “Leftist politicians rarely tell the truth. Their policies and ideals are so bad that they can’t, and they know it, thus the nonstop hyperbole, grandstanding, and projection. It’s infuriating that so many Americans either are unable to see this, As with any good totalitarian leftist regime, gun confiscation is at the top of the leftist wish list. It’s much easier to institute control and compliance over an unarmed citizenry than it is an armed one. They may deny it, but deep down, this is what they want. All you have to do is watch and listen to them. You hear them use code words like “military-grade weapons” and “red flag laws.” Even our leftist administrative state is getting in on the action, as the ATF is now targeting gun dealers by denying more and more of their business licenses.” – Brad A. Girton

RFK Jr. Says He Would Sign ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban if it Reached His Desk – “RFK Jr.’s admission he would sign an “assault weapons” ban came just over a week after he used a New Hampshire townhall to stand against the idea of taking away guns.” – AWR Hawkins – SO IT APPEARS HE WOULD TAKE AWAY YOUR RIGHTS, JUST LIKE ANY OTHER GUN GRABBIBNG POLITICIAN!!!!

MASSIVE CHANGE IS COMING… AND IF YOU ARE NOT READY FOR IT, YOU ARE DONE. (VIDEO) – Gregory Mannarino

Realistically, How Strong Is America? – “America’s weakness is overlooked by investment analysts. Having offshored manufacturing, the US is import-dependent, and having weaponized the dollar Washington is causing foreign central banks to stop holding dollars as reserves. The consequence is that the US has a rising issuance of debt to finance trade and budget deficits, but a declining supply of customers for that debt. Either the Federal Reserve has to monetize the debt or interest rates will rise.” – Paul Craig Roberts

BRICS Summit Ends With a Bang — And a Tease – “Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Iran join the bloc. So much for the Petrodollar” – John Rubino

Hedging the End of Fiat – “It is slowly coming clear that the fiat dollar’s hegemony is drawing to a close. That’s what the BRICS summit in Johannesburg is all about — rats, if you like, deserting the dollar’s ship. With the dollar’s backing being no more than a precarious faith in it, it is bound to be sold down by foreign holders. Being only fiat, it could even become valueless, threatening to take down the other western alliance fiat currencies as well. How do you protect your paper wealth from this outcome? Some swear by bitcoin and others by gold.” – Alasdair Macleod – LONG BUT GOOD ARTICLE FROM ALASDAIR!!!

What Would it Take for a BRIC-Based Currency to Succeed? – “Lost in the hype over nations clamoring to join the BRICS block is a question I have not seen anyone address.” – Mish
