THE BIG PICTURE
Iowa’s Satanic statue debacle reminds us that the Constitution is meaningless without Christianity – “The reality is that as America becomes increasingly post-Christian, the Constitution increasingly becomes merely a piece of paper to be used and exploited by those who can use the freedoms championed by the founders for genuinely demonic ends.” – Jonathon Van Maren
John Kerry and the “Thirty Tyrants” are hopelessly, hilariously ignorant – “Their ignorance, as usual, is overwhelming. Bear in mind that oil, coal, and natural gas constitute over 50% of global electricity production according to the most recent data from the International Energy Agency. So, shifting away to renewable energy sources would require at least 12,000 terawatt-hours (TWh) of additional production from wind and solar. Let’s briefly examine the numbers: The LARGEST planned solar powered electricity project in the world is the Gonghe Talatan Solar Park in central China, which will reportedly max out at 16GW in capacity. So, at best, the largest solar plant in the world will produce roughly 40 TWh of electricity per year, which is just 0.3% of the electricity needed to replace fossil fuels. Now, let’s adopt a “can do” attitude and presume that hundreds other similarly sized projects will be built around the world. What resources would this require?” – Simon Black – VERY GOOD READ FROM SIMON!!!!!!!
Seasons Greetings from New Normal Germany – “the corporate journalists, the “cultural world” (and those aspiring thereto), and the rest of the Western Culture Industry, were “shocked, shocked,” that the New Normal totalitarianism they helped usher into being for the last three years (or just looked away while it happened) had now, suddenly, turned on them! The majority of these people spent the last two and a half years demonizing anyone who refused to follow orders and parrot the official Covid propaganda as a “Covid-denying, conspiracy theorizing, far-right-extremist anti-vax idiot,” and, well, not to put too fine a point on it, they wanted “the Unvaccinated” sent to the camps. They cheered when our “disinformation” got censored. They applauded when the police banned our protests. They celebrated when we were segregated from society. They reported us to the authorities for “not social-distancing,” “being outdoors without permission,” “improperly wearing a mask,” and so on. Basically, they behaved like textbook fascists. And now they’re shocked and horrified that the fascist tactics they normalized are being used against them and the people they like. ” – CJ Hopkins
Modified Spike mRNA: There Are No ‘Desired Proteins’ – “All of the harms from the COVID-19 injectable products were predictable, and preventable.” – Jessica Rose, PhD – A LITTLE TECHNICAL, BUT INTERESTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Intentional Destruction – “The Great Depression was a well-executed plan to seize assets, impoverish the population, and remake society. What comes next is worse.. You Already Own Nothing” – Matthew Smith
CDC Issues Health Advisory Over ‘Low Vaccination Rates’ Across US – “The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) sent out a “health advisory” on Dec. 14 regarding “low vaccination rates” for influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and COVID-19. “Healthcare providers should administer influenza, COVID-19, and RSV immunizations now to patients, if recommended,” the CDC stated.” – Jack Phillips – YES, DO IT RIGHT NOW. NO QUESTIONS ASKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Geoengineering Watch Global Alert News, December 16, 2023 (VIDEO) – “Exactly how many forms of toxic elements are being dispersed into our skies with virtually no environmental impact reviews or public disclosure? How many have yet summoned the courage to even want to know? How much more can the planet’s life support systems take before total breakdown?” – Dane Wigington
Pfizer Completes Acquisition of Seagen and is now focused on treating Turbo Cancer and I think we are being SPARRED, y’all… – “What is being SPARRED? SPARS was a Psy Op planning exercise about how to manage a “fictional” pandemic from a Public Relations and Propaganda standpoint. It was put on by Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security. As part of the planning, the aftermath “Calm the Marks” healing crap was anticipated. That is where we are right now. The Get Pfizer Op has been going for over a year now. It ran in tandem with the Get Fauci Op and the Get the FDA Op. But Fauci would not be got.” – Sage Hana
November 2023 climate fact check – “November was yet another month where satellite and surface station temperatures clashed. Per NASA satellites, the estimated “average global temperature” for November was 0.91°C above the estimated “average global temperature” for the period 1991-2020 for the third month running. But according to an average of actual real-time measurements of global surface temperature stations, November 2023 continued the trend since January 2015 of global cooling. How can these estimates be reconciled? Do they need to be?” – CFACT

The (Economic) Story Behind ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas’ – “On a chilly October night in England in 1984, Bob Geldof was alone watching TV. As the frontman of the Boomtown Rats, Geldof had tasted fame and success, but his music career was now at a crossroads. The band was in shambles, and Geldof was trying to “manage the decline” as he considered his next step. Geldof received a dose of perspective that night when he turned on the BBC and saw a news report delivered by journalist Michael Buerk depicting a severe famine in Ethiopia. “Fifteen thousand children here now. Suffering. Confused. Lost,” Buerk says, as the camera pans to emaciated bodies of starving Ethiopians. “Death is all around. A child or an adult dies every twenty minutes.” The report shook Geldof.” – Jon Miltimore – FORTY YEARS LATER, NOTHING HAS CHANGED. PEOPLE ARE STILL STARVING AND MAINLY BECAUSE OF WARS, WITH FOOD BEING USED AS A WEAPON OR BILLIONS OF DOLLARS BEING USED TO FINANCE THE VARIOUS WARS SUCH AS IN THE UKRAINE AND ISRAEL AND OTHER PLACES INSTEAD OF FEEDING THE STARVING. IT’S A SICK WORLD WHEN WAR IS YOUR MAIN PRIORITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Sanctity of Privacy – “Today, along with the loss of the sanctity of privacy, we have lost any sense of care of what others think of us—and outwardly dare them to think anything other than perfection. No one dresses up to go to dinner out of respect for themselves or fellow diners. No one cares what they wear in public. No one cares what they say in public. This disregard for what people think is a bit of an oxymoron considering people are generally major whiners, believing that anyone who looks sideways at them hates them. Go figure.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP
“He Will Unravel The Institutions Of Our Democracy!”: Supercut Of Dramatic Dems Freaking Out Over ‘Dictator’ Trump – “Here we go again… In a hilarious repeat from 2016, ivory tower leftists are absolutely freaking out about the prospect of Donald Trump getting back into the White House, now that multiple polls show that Trump isn’t just on track to sweep the GOP primary field – but he’d smoke Biden if a malarkey-free 2024 election were held today.” – Tyler Durden
Solving Homelessness in America – “America’s current approach is a Dickensian variation on Scrooge before his awakening: As my dad once said, rich people have neither sympathy nor use for the poor, unless it’s to exploit them. We can’t just throw money at the problem, right? Because all those “losers” will take advantage of welfare and buy Cadillacs and Alaskan king crab legs with their government relief funds. We must make them suffer for being poor; the Lord helps those who help themselves, am I right?” – Bill Astore – VERY GOOD READ FROM BILL!!!!!!
Sex, Lies, Videotapes and Another Hidin’ Biden – “Heartlanders are shocked by the latest leftist antics.”- Sarah Cowgill
Defiling the People’s House – “A staffer for Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Maryland) was fired for having gay sex on camera in a hearing room in our Capitol building. The man’s comment about his firing was stunning. He said he was: “…attacked for who I love to pursue a political agenda.” No. He was fired, not “attacked,” and he was fired for poor judgment, immoral behavior and the desecration of the People’s House.” – M.B. Mathews – EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN IMMORAL. A DAD WHO SHOWERED WITH HIS DAUGHTER AND FONDLES CHILDREN EVERY CHANCE HE GETS, A SON WHO DID CRACK AND BOUGHT HOOKERS. A TRANS WHO STOLE LUGGAGE AND LIKED TO WEAR DOG COLLARS, A TRANS NAVY MEDICAL ADMIRAL, AND ON AND ON. YOU CAN CALL IT INCLUSIVE IF YOU WANT BUT YOU ARE ONLY FOOLING YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!
CNN Town Hall Host Tries To Disrupt Vivek Ramaswamy As He Reveals Truth Behind J6 – “Whether one supports the presidential candidacy of Vivek Ramaswamy or not, it’s impossible to deny that some of the best red pill moments of the election cycle so far have been his debates with establishment spin doctors. ” – Tyler Durden
“A Red Flag”: Is SCOTUS Poised to Overturn Key J6 Felony Count? – “If the highest court determines the Department of Justice and judges misapplied a corporate fraud statute against hundreds of January 6 defendants, the repercussions will be felt for years to come.” – Julie Kelly
Illegals at the Border: They Come Bearing Gifts – “Disease, terrorists, and now IEDs are discovered at the border. The far left will never heed the warning signs from these three gifts illegal immigrants are bringing to the US this Christmas. Perhaps it would be best to focus on the precious gifts brought by the three wise men in the Christmas story, instead.” – Leesa K. Donner
Gov. Pritzker peppered with questions about Illinois’ gun ban registry (VIDEO) – Bishop On Air – IN THE VIDEO WHEN ASKED WHY CERTAIN WEAPONS NEED TO BE REGISTERED PRITZKER STATES THAT YOU WANT TO KNOW WHO OWNS WHAT THEY CONSIDER SO-CALLED ASSAULT WEAPONS. THAT PRETTY MUCH SUMS IT UP, THEY WANT TO KNOW WHO HAS THEM FOR CONFISCATION PURPOSES AS REGISTRATION DOEN’T PREVENT USAGE AND CRIMINALS SURE WON’T BE REGISTERING. AS OF THIS WEEK WITH TWO WEEKS TO GO FOR THE REGISTRATION DEADLINE APPROXIMATELY 6,000 WEAPONS HAVE BEEN REGISTERED OUT OF 2.4 MILLION FOID CARD HOLDERS IN ILLINOIS. THAT’S 0.25% OF FOID CARD HOLDERS AND I’M SURE MANY HAVE MORE THAN ONE WEAPON. THAT SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING!!!!!!
World War III approaches – just as planned – “If massive depopulation is the end goal, then continued support for Ukraine is the way to go” – Augusto Zimmermann
The IDF Are So Good At Killing Israelis They Should Consider Joining Hamas – “Friendly fire during October 7, friendly fire on the battlefield in Gaza, friendly fire executions of Israeli prisoners. IDF troops killed escaped Israeli hostages who were holding up a white flag, apparently because they mistook them for Palestinian civilians holding up a white flag (Israeli forces have a long and well-documented history of killing Gazans while they are waving white flags). Israel supporters always say “Hamas just needs to surrender and everything will be fine.” Surrender? You mean wave a white flag?” – Caitlin Johnstone
US weighs strike options to deter Houthis from more Red Sea attacks – “The Biden administration has been reluctant to respond militarily against the Houthi attacks on commercial shipping in recent weeks for fear of provoking Iran” – Lara Seligman and Alexander Ward – I’M SURE THE WARMONGERS ARE ALL FOR IT. SO JOE WILL DO SOMETHING, WAIT AND SEE!!!!!
Zelensky’s Global Begging Tour Is an Obscene Fiasco – “The spectacle of Zelensky touring the world scrounging for more money is as shameful as it is sordid. The United States’ proxy war in Ukraine against Russia has cost the lives of up to 400,000 Ukrainian soldiers. In the last six months alone, it is estimated that over 120,000 Ukrainian troops have been killed in a failed counteroffensive. Even Western media are coyly admitting the grim reality of failure after much-vaunted predictions last year of imminent victory against Russia.” – Strategic Culture Foundation
The Richest are Leaving the Country – “The richest people in Britain are leaving. Over half a million wealthy taxpayers left Britain last year and were replaced by over a million immigrants looking for free money and free housing. The end result was a net increase in population of over 700,000. And the result of that is that the nation’s infrastructure has failed – roads, transport, health care, water supplies, sewage disposal, education and everything else would be considered a disgrace in a fourth-world country.” – Rhoda Wilson

ECONOMIC NEWS
Central banks brought excessive inflation. Now they bring stagnation. – “Although the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank’s message regarding interest rate cuts seems clear, reiterating their commitment to reducing inflation, the market is expecting between five and six interest rate cuts, between 125 and 150 basis points, in the next twelve months. This shows us the bubble bias of many investors. We live in a world where two generations of market participants have only seen rate cuts and massive liquidity injections. Central banks have created huge perverse incentives in markets that should have been prevented if they truly followed their mandate of stable prices.” – Daniel Lacalle
Fed Eyes Easing as Rep. Mooney Demands Answers on Gold – “Congressman Mooney wrote to Fed Chairman Powell demanding answers concerning the central bank’s recent actions in the gold market. He specifically wants to know whether the Fed has engaged in interventions to affect prices. He also seeks to get to the bottom of whether the Federal Reserve Bank of New York has been repatriating gold to Germany’s central bank or others that are suspected of having made the request.” – Mike Gleason
MARKETS A LOOK AHEAD: 2024… End Game. F!NAL SOLUTION. Are You Ready For It? (VIDEO) – Gregory Mannarino
The Fed signals its pivot – “In his press conference following the FOMC meeting at which the Fed Funds Rate was left unchanged, Chairman Powell spoke about the slowing of economic activity due to restrictive territory for interest rates. This unexpected commentary caused precious metals to rally strongly, taking gold back above $2000, and silver above $24. In European trade this morning, gold was at $2042, up $38 since last Friday’s close, and silver was $24.22, up $1.24 over the same time frame.” – Alasdair Macleod – GOLD AND SILVER SINCE ARE BOTH BACK DOWN SOME AND MANY SAY THIS REALLY ISN’T A PIVOT. WE SHALL SEE!!!!
2023: The Dawn of the Silver Boom – “2023 saw another year of the huge supply-demand deficit in silver, despite heavy investment selling. The most significant demand increase came from solar panels.” – Chen Lin
A Bipartisan Zeal for Nonsensical Tariffs that Raise Prices and Slow EV Progress – “There is a constant whine in all corners that we want “fair trade not free trade”. Sorry everyone, the only fair trade is free trade. Assume China is unfairly subsidizing solar panels or anything else. What that means in practice is China is subsidizing US consumers at the expense of Chinese consumers. Yet we bitch about that, like candlemakers bitching about the free light of the sun.” – Mish
SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY
Buying and Developing Rural Land With Friends or Family – “The current real estate market, economic situation, and high interest rates continue to limit options for buying real estate. With all these challenges, many would-be property buyers are turning to more creative strategies. One potentially feasible and cost-effective route is to team with friends or family to buy and develop a piece of land instead of purchasing property separately.” – Jonathan Rawles
Mullein: The World’s Most Useful Weed – “Mullein has been used since ancient times and, while the popularity has ebbed and flowed, it’s hard to dispute the evidence that it’s an effective treatment for many issues. Herbalists know that the leaves, roots, and flowers can be used to treat diarrhea, asthma, coughs, and lung-related sicknesses.” – Bethany Hayes

24 Prepper Items You Could Do Without – “If you are serious about preparing to survive hard times, you’ll need to be strategic. Few people can afford to go out and buy all the cool prepping stuff. It’s expensive and really more of a luxury than a necessity. It’s like buying a Mercedes instead of a Nissan. One’s nice and pretty, but do you really need it? There are plenty of things a prepper can do without” – Candi Hanson
VERSES FOR THE DAY
Matthew 25:42-45 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
LYRIC FOR THE WEEK
It’s Christmas time
There’s no need to be afraid
At Christmas time
We let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty
We can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world
At Christmas time
But say a prayer
Pray for the other ones
At Christmas time
It’s hard, but when you’re having fun
There’s a world outside your window
And it’s a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing
Is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring there
Are the clanging chimes of doom
Well, tonight thank God it’s them
Instead of you
And there won’t be snow in Africa this Christmas time
The greatest gift they’ll get this year is life (oh)
Where nothing ever grows, no rain nor rivers flow
Do they know it’s Christmas time at all? (oh)
(Here’s to you) Raise a glass for everyone
(Here’s to them) Underneath that burning sun
Do they know it’s Christmas time at all?
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Let them know it’s Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it’s Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it’s Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it’s Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it’s Christmas time again
( Do They Know It’s Christmas by Bob Geldorf and Midge Ure )
