THE BIG PICTURE

The Automated Internet, the Conspiratorial Internet, and the Reconquista of the Real – “The heady intoxication of our early explosion into virtualized reality has worn off. It’s the difference between getting drunk for the first few times as a teenager, and waking up as a middle-aged drunk, with yet another pounding hangover and no memory of what happened the night before. What was once a liberation, a dissolution of inhibition and ego boundaries, has become a compulsion, a necessity, a love-hate relationship with a thing that consumes your life but which you can’t live without.” – John Carter – EXCELLENT EXTREMNE;Y LONG READ FROM JOHN ON HOW TECHNOLOY HAS CONSUMED US!!!!!!!!!!

FDA Says ‘No Safety Signals’ Linking White Blood Clots to COVID Shots, Despite Embalmer Survey Suggesting Otherwise – “More than 70% of 269 embalmers surveyed found fibrous white blood clots — clots they weren’t finding pre-pandemic — in significant percentages of corpses in 2023.” – Suzanne Burdick, Ph.D.

Total eclipse of the smart – “We had our small respite from things as they are, languishing as we all mostly were here in the gloom of the moon as it traversed the sun. For a small few minutes we were insignificant, mere pinpricks of importance on the face of a planet in this immeasurable cosmos. Our small worlds rendered foolish in the vastness. We, the people did not wage the wars nor exploit the poor nor ignore the inequities. We were simply living our lives with goodwill for the most part. We did not understand how betrayed we would be and have been. That was our naïveté. But perhaps, knowing that totalitarianism is something we could all experience (beyond the orchestrators who live so far above the fray) we could know how to respond differently this time. Maybe. We live in hope and try not to die in despair. And if we need a place to begin we need to recognize it.” – Sylvia Shawcross – GOOD ONE FROM SYLVIA AS USUAL!!

Words Aren’t Enough – “With Trump seeming to be unbeatable in the 2024 election, the Democrats have begun a scorched-earth policy of laying landmines on every conceivable path he might take. The lawfare they’ve invested millions of dollars to prosecute is turning out to be a failed enterprise and like a cornered animal, they’re attacking everything Trump. But they’re also exposing themselves to millions more people. The chaos at the border is starting to show its destructive side in cities and towns, especially where black and Hispanic citizens see the illegals getting special treatment. Homeless shelters, schools and parks are being used to house illegals. They are being given gift cards with thousands of dollars loaded onto them, free housing, free meals, free medical care. An American citizen doesn’t get those same benefits, not even veterans. This is a special class of people, these illegal aliens, above anyone else in the nation.” – T.L. Davis

Social Security Entitlements – Broke: The Big Lie – “Our Government is claiming that Social Security is in fact – a Tax and accounting for it on that basis. Technically, they should be stewards of money on loan and instead they are making a profit – $1,301,952,000,000. Last year, the Social Security Administration determined that inflation was 3%, therefore your benefit payment rose by just 3%. This is the data released to support the current rate of 3.8%: Food up 5.5%, shelter up 5.7%, vehicle insurance up 20.6%, medical up 1.4%, recreation up 2.1%, electricity up 3.6%, utility cost down 8.2%, gasoline down 3.9%, fuel oil down 5.4%, and personal care up 4.2% = net up 22.3% Common Core Math. Funky numbers and faulty algorithms are costing Social Security recipients billions annually! We are being cheated in one of the largest Ponzi scams in history. ” – Helena Glass

Deep State versus Julian Assange – “He deserves to live out his life, as did Gonzalo Lira before him, not only in freedom with his family but also in the peace he has sacrificed so much for.” – Declan Hayes

Time to Rethink Your Never Trumpism – “Okay, my Trump-shy friends, it’s time to put aside your fussy principles about how icky Donald Trump is. This is serious, and we need all hands on deck to throw Biden overboard before he gets a whole lot more Americans killed. I get that you don’t like Trump. Let’s agree that he’s icky for the purposes of this discussion. Let’s agree that his tweets are mean, that he’s not a conservative ideologue, that he says dumb things and gets into useless fights, and that he does many other unseemly and annoying things. Let’s agree that this is all true. Let’s concede that in normal times, one might want to forgo supporting a guy like that. But these aren’t normal times.” – Kurt Schlichter

DEI Cronyism and Woke Grifters – “How odd it is that America is wasting billions of dollars hiring DEI czars and electing woke politicians, who so often accuse others of a multitude of sins, largely as a way of enriching themselves.” – Victor Davis Hanson

Rep suggests black Americans shouldn’t pay taxes – “Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) suggested during an appearance on a recent “Black Lawyers Podcast” that “Black Americans should be exempt from paying taxes as a form of reparations.” Crockett, no relation to Davy, also said that blacks are owed “for the labor that was stolen and killed and all the other things.” I’m not sure what “and killed and all the other things” means, but whatever. I must admit that this is a unique proposal, I strongly doubt, however, that any government will sign off on anything that could reduce its revenue. At this point, it’s more likely that it would simply double the tax rate for white people or Christians. (Quadruple the tax rate for white Christians?)” – Eric Utter

What CNN Didn’t Tell Its Audience About the Police Shooting of Dexter Reed Jr. – “Don’t give me none of your noise about “racial profiling.” Approximately 78% of homicide victims in Chicago are black, and nearly all of them are killed by other black people. So if you want to stop black people from being murdered in Chicago, you’re going to have to focus on getting black criminals off the street. Dexter Reed was awaiting trial on gun charges, and the terms of his pretrial release would prohibit him from possessing a weapon. Ergo, the cops had good reason to be investigating Reed, who happened to be carrying a pistol. He opened fire on the cops, emptying the 11-round magazine, then left the gun in the car and tried to make a run for it. He did not run far, ” – Robert Stacy McCain

From OnlyFans to Born Again Christian? – “Why we should be rejoicing at Nala Ray’s spiritual conversion, not hating on it. Nala Ray says she made $9 million performing on OnlyFans before she left sex work and became a Christian.There was some fuss about the baptism, particularly on social media, as if Ray was the first sex worker who gave up the seedy industry and embraced the Gospel. This is hardly true, of course.One needn’t approve of her previous lifestyle to celebrate her newfound faith. But nor should it be used against her. One of the primary tenets of the Christian faith is the idea of redemption. We’re all fallen. We’re all sinful. But we are redeemed through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. ” – Jon Miltimore

There Is Only One Spaceship Earth – “Men like Joe Biden and his chief diplomat Antony Blinken confess to being disturbed, even shocked, by the devastation our bombs deliver. Who knew Israel would use them to kill or wound more than 100,000 Palestinians? Who knew that they’d reduce significant parts of Gaza to rubble? Who knew that a blank check of support for Israel would enable that country to — it’s hard not to use the phrase — offer a final solution to the Gaza question? Not to be outdone by the Democrats, Republican Congressman Tim Walberg of Michigan recently cited the examples of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in seeking a “quick” end to the conflict in Gaza (before walking his comments back somewhat). For him, Israel remains America’s greatest ally, whatever its actions, even as he argues that Palestinians in Gaza merit no humanitarian aid from the United States whatsoever.” – Bill Astore

U.S. Funds Ukraine Groups Censoring Critics, Smearing Pro-Peace Voices – “American taxpayers are footing the bill for Ukrainian NGOs focused on smearing proponents of a diplomatic solution as “Russian disinformation” agents.” – Lee Fang

GOLD AND SILVER ENTERING EXPONENTIAL PHASE – “What most people, including experienced investors, don’t understand is that gold doesn’t increase in value. Gold just maintains stable purchasing power. A Roman toga 2000 years ago cost 1 ounce of gold and a tailored suit today also costs 1 ounce of gold. So it is really totally wrong to talk about gold going up when it is the unit we measure gold in that goes down. Just as all fiat money has done Just take gold measured in US dollars. As the illustration below shows, the value of the dollar since 1971 has crashed, measured in real terms which is gold.” – Egon von Greyerz

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Better Than a Bunker – “If you have a rural property safe from prying eyes, bugging in during a crisis makes more sense than bugging out. The bigger debate in a situation like this is whether it’s better to bug in at a properly prepared homestead or hunker in a well-stocked bunker.” – Eric Beuning

Perhaps a selection of hearty, shelf-stable options that provide both nourishment and solace when the need arises.” – Bob Rodgers

However, like me, you detest the idea of installing security surveillance devices that could make your garden feel more like a prison yard. Fortunately, there are some ingenious ways to looter-proof your garden. ” – Michael B

 

 

VERSES FOR THE DAY

Psalm 107:35-37    He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.  And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;  And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
