THE BIG PICTURE
What About The Poor? – “Choice and freedom are important concepts, for they are at the heart of right action and righteous deeds. It is because we are free to choose that we have the power to choose to do the right thing. It is because we are free to act that we have the capacity to actually do that right thing. Yet we must do more than revel in our freedom and indulge our capacity for making choices. We must at some juncture identify what the righteous choice is and what that good thing is. We must actually make that righteous choice. We must actually do that good thing.”” – Peter Nayland Kust – GOOD READ FROM PETER!!!

Same Pig, Different Lipstick: Covid and the Green Revolution- “Both the Green Revolution and the Covid response are based on the unsound notion that it’s better to intervene aggressively and resource-intensively than it is to consider the secondary effects of any intervention and to show appropriate restraint. Nonetheless, the interventionist mindset/model prevails because it’s profitable.” – Mark Oshinskie

To those that are still trying to convince themselves that climate engineering operations are just a proposal, please look up. ” – Dane Wigington
Graphene Condoms- “Well, THANK GAWD. I would really hate to find out my graphene condom was made with…((gasp))…GMOs. And that shit better be vegan goddammit. Otherwise you can just blame yourself for Klimate change and go ahead and sign yourself up for bug eating. I mean, I cannot write this shit… Turns out the always generous herd culler, Billy G is all hot and bothered for that graphene feel. Condom maker HLL Lifecare has secured a research grant of $150,000 USD from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) for its phase II graphene condom project.” – Conspiracy Sarah

Iran Keeps World on Pins and Needles – “The Middle East is again in a cycle of heating up. Iran is threatening an “unprecedented” response to the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran on July 31st. In anticipation, the U.S. has begun bringing major reinforcements to the region, which includes F-22s, B-2 Spirit stealth bomber, an armada featuring the USS Roosevelt Carrier Group, as well as amphibious landing ships with 4000 U.S. Marines on board:” – Simplicius – STARTING TO SOUND A TAD BIT LIKE WWIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Iran to hit Israel hard with smart power – “Forty-five years after the 1979 Iranian revolution, the Islamic Republic speaks up as the voice of moderation and reason! Of course, this does not mean that Iran and the other members of the Axis of Resistance will moderate their response to the recent actions by Israel. Iran’s retaliation to the killing of Haniyeh is certain to be more severe, more painful than anything Tel Aviv experienced so far. A war with Iran will be very unlike Israel’s previous wars with the Arab states. The medium and long-term advantage lies with Iran, a much bigger country than Israel, since it will be a war on multiple fronts with non-state actors. On the other hand, it is difficult to believe that Israel acted on its own to attack Iran’s sovereignty, which is tantamount to an act of war, without some sort of US approval. It is this ‘known unknown’ factor that makes the situation very dangerous. Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei has already ordered a direct strike on Israeli territory.” – M. K. Bhadrakumar

The Crucible That’s Coming – “Some say elections don’t matter. Their cynicism – and frustration – is easy to understand and to empathize with. We all feel it. It’s easy to feel discouraged. Beaten, even. As if it no longer mattered. Except, of course, it does. It mattered in 2016. And it matters even more now. Worse almost came in 2016 – and it is threatening to come, again. Not in the same person, but that hardly matters as we are dealing, so to speak, with powers and principalities rather than personalities. “Kamala” is materially irrelevant – just as “Joe” was. Both serve as codpieces of a sort, covering up what lies underneath. We have seen – we have experienced – what lies underneath over the course of the past almost four years now. Instead of her we got him – and by dint of that, we got a better Supreme Court, for one thing. Try to imagine what the court would have been like had she rather than he been the one to appoint several new justices along the lines of Katanji Jackson Brown. Do you think you’d still be able to legally possess – let alone carry – a pistol?” – Eric Peters
Reflections from the Heart of the Empire: Elections, Follies and Clowns – “Venezuela had one of the most closely internationally monitored elections in history with a voting system far more secure than the American version, and incumbent President Nicolas Maduro won with 51% of the vote. The final tally was just released today.The US Empire media immediately screamed that the election was stolen. All I’ve got to say is that any American accusing any other country of having rigged elections is like Al Capone accusing Bugsy Segal of smuggling contraband.” – Ohio Barbarian
U.S. Military Report: U.S. Cannot Defeat China, U.S. Public Unaware of Dangers and Unprepared for Societal Breakdown – “It’s one thing to read an article in the Alternative Media warning about the imminent collapse of society we are facing due to current world events, but it ceases to be a “conspiracy theory” when the exact same thing is said by a DoD military think tank before members of Congress.” – Brian Shilhavy
War Is Atrocity – “Nowadays, Unrefined Cruelty Gets a Free Pass. As Civil War General William T. Sherman wrote, “War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it.” As a country, America has forgotten that. In fact, no country profits more from selling weapons for war than the United States. The U.S. is arming Israel for a genocide and arming Ukraine for an apparently perpetual war with Russia. And it’s the American taxpayer who’s footing the bill, whether we pay it now or pay it later (the U.S. national debt just surpassed $35 trillion). Meanwhile, U.S. presidents openly boast of their military as being the world’s “finest,” even the best in all human history. ” – Bill Astore
Everything in Moderation — Especially Government Power – ” Corporations posing as political parties divide Americans against each other while doing what’s most lucrative for a small cabal of financial elites. A detached and unelected government bureaucracy furthers its own insular interests while disregarding the wishes of the public it pretends to serve. A private central bank manipulates markets, causes unnecessary inflation, and steals from everyone with meager savings. The Pentagon stations troops all over the country, as if it is more concerned with safeguarding the federal government from citizens than with protecting the country from foreign enemies. Dozens of covert agencies spy on the American people without warrants or even the pretense of probable cause. This thing we call the federal government is the walking, talking embodiment of immodesty.” – J.B. Shurk
We Reap the Harvest of Lies – “Public life has become disorienting. Most people, by and large, previously expected to hear the truth, or some semblance of it, in daily life. There were always liars, campaigns to mislead, and propaganda to drive us to love or to hate, but there was a core within society that had certain accepted norms and standards that should theoretically be followed. A sort of anchor. Truth is indestructible but the anchor cable connecting us to it, ensuring its influence, has been cut. Society is being set adrift. This really broke in the past four or five years.” – David Bell
The Rebellion of the Helots Against Liberalism’s Zimbabwean Telos – “Thoughts on Palestine, on Rhodesia, on the Troubles spreading from Ireland to England, and on the growing war between the guttering light and the encroaching darkness. The Anglo countries are all busily trying to become Zimbabwe as quickly as they can, importing people from around the world as fast as they are able, As third worlders are packed into the cities of Britain and her colonies, and into the cities of America’s European vassals on the Continent, their share of the vote increases with their numbers.” – John Carter – LONG AS USUAL FROM JOHN, BUT WELL WORTH READING WHEN YOU HAVE THE TIME. BOOKMARK IT FOR LATER IF YOU HAVE TO. PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW HISTORY SO THINGS DON’T KEEP HAPPENING THE SAME WAY!!!

Who Keeps Questioning Kamala Harris’ Race? – “With all the corporate media hoopla about Kamala Harris’ racial identification, and their inability to decide if she is Indian-American, Black, Brown, or Lord knows what color, we should stop to note the one person who is not questioning Kamala Harris’ racial identification.That would be her opponent, Donald Trump. ” – Peter Nayland Kust

Dollar Debasement Ad Infinitum – “If there’s one thing to understand about what’s going on in the political economy today, it is the fundamentals of debt. You do not need to be a bean counter or get too deep into the weeds to get a handle on things. What you must understand is this. Debt – public and private – has grown to such massive extremes that it will never be repaid. But it will be settled one way or another. Through default or inflation, or a combination thereof. Moreover, the impending debt reconciliation will be legendary. In the meantime, as debt has grown, it has distorted prices. This is the reason why housing prices and stock prices make little sense. And this is also the reason why consumer prices continue to rise.” – MN Gordon
From Biden to Bonds: Unmasking a Template of Lies – “The Biden example, or denial-template above, is literally identical to a similar template of economic lies, denial and public gaslighting as acted out by our central bankers, debt-addicted (economically juvenile) politicians and utterly clueless financial media for years. The Bankers… Anyone, and I mean anyone, who hails from Wall Street’s big banks, for example, knows that bears are fired and bulls are promoted. Why? Because banks are in the business of levering depositor money for year-end bonuses and an endless stream of risky (rather than fiduciary) “products” that have nothing to do with long-term value but everything to do with short-term fee collecting.” – Matthew Piepenburg

Protecting Prepper Documents from Flood and Fire – “Statistically, two of the most likely disasters that you’ll encounter are floods and fires. Both are devastating, potentially deadly, and very likely to drive you from your home. Part of that is being prepared with a plan and a bug-out route. The other part is protecting your critical documents: paperwork that proves your identity, proves what you own, and what policies you have when it comes to insurance and end-of-life decisions… If these documents get destroyed or become inaccessible in the aftermath of a disaster, you’ll be facing a different kind of nightmare. ” – Tom Marlowe
