THE BIG PICTURE

Targeted Narrative Broadcasting Leads to Programmed and Hypnotized Masses – “Why is it so easy to distract, fool, confuse, direct, and manipulate the thoughts and actions of so many at once? It seems this has been an easy task for the State to achieve considering this fully gullible and indoctrinated American population. One of the linchpins of successful propaganda is to sprinkle some truth amidst the great abundance of lies. It takes very little to distract the non-thinking crowd, so the efforts by the ruling class to divert attention from the core tyranny, the big picture if you will, is to concentrate thought to many different areas at once.” – Gary D. Barnett

Similarities between “spike protein” and synthetic anthrax toxin. – “Real bioweapons are not viruses but chemical weapons.” – Sasha Latypova

From Agrarianism to Transhumanism: The Long March to Dystopia – “We are currently seeing an acceleration of the corporate consolidation of the entire global agri-food chain. The big data conglomerates, including Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook and Google, have joined traditional agribusiness giants, such as Corteva, Bayer, Cargill and Syngenta, in a quest to impose their model of food and agriculture on the world. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and big financial institutions, like BlackRock and Vanguard, are also involved, whether through buying up huge tracts of farmland, pushing biosynthetic (fake) food and genetic engineering technologies or more generally facilitating and financing the aims of the mega agri-food corporations.[2] The billionaire interests behind this try to portray their techno-solutionism as some kind of humanitarian endeavour: saving the planet with ‘climate-friendly solutions’, ‘helping farmers’ or ‘feeding the world’. Technofeudalism meets transhumanism — all for your convenience, of course.” – Colin Todhunter

Eurocrats are having a very big sad about Twitter right now – “The Brussels Eurocrats around Emmanuel Macron are having a big sad about Twitter right now. They fear the platform fuels “the amplification of hateful content” and “disinformation,” which are multisyllabic ways of saying that there is too much unapproved and uncurated discourse on the site. You cannot just have people taking to their keyboards to type, like and retweet whatever they want. You especially cannot have that in Europe, where we suffer under the immensely liberal and democratic Digital Services Act, which mandates all manner of social media censorship to protect traditional European freedoms, like freedom of expression.” – eugyppius

The Political Matrix Sustains the Illusion of Freedom – “What you smell is the stench of a dying republic. Our dying republic. We are trapped in a political matrix intended to sustain the illusion that we are citizens of a constitutional republic. In reality, we are caught somewhere between a kleptocracy (a government ruled by thieves) and a kakistocracy (a government run by unprincipled career politicians, corporations and thieves that panders to the worst vices in our nature and has little regard for the rights of American citizens). For years now, the government has been playing a cat-and-mouse game with the American people, letting us enjoy just enough freedom to think we are free but not enough to actually allow us to live as a free people.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

The Western World Has Succumbed to Tyranny – “We can add Richard Medhurst to Tulsi Gabbard, Scott Ritter, Amb. Craig Murray, Julian Assange, and many others who are harassed, arrested, imprisoned by police state authorities in the US, UK, EU, and Canada for practicing the disappearing profession of journalism.We no longer have the BBC, the New York Times, the London Times, ABC, NBC, CBS to hold government accountable. What we have are propaganda ministries that support official narratives. The job of the Western media is to lie to the people in behalf of the establishment that rules them. ” – Paul Craig Roberts

This Ain’t It – “Notice at the American political conventions that there is little talk about things like spending, debt, or the general health of the economy. When was the last time a major politician talked about the debt problem? You see the same with immigration. The Democrats are putting on their show this week, at which they are introducing their “leaders” and platform. They have dancing bears, bearded ladies and all the other things you see at a circus, but the one thing missing is anything resembling policy.” – The Z Man

Blame Republicans . . . – “Society – in its once-upon-a-time sense, before the word was corrupted by socialists – is rendered impossible by socialism. Because people are no longer free to participate in society with others, each according to their own willingness. In its place, a “society” that regards the individual much the same as a bee in a hive. One of many. All of them under the control of a few – or even just the one. Brought to you by Republicans – who either do no understand the existential threat that socialism is – or want the same things as the socialists they pretend to oppose.” – Eric Peters  – BOTH PARTIES ARE BASICALLY ONE AND THE SAME. AS THE ROCK GROUP STYX WOULD SAY  “WELCOME TO THE GRAND ILLUSION”!!!!

Raining on the Democrats’ Parade – “Last night was Obama night at the DNC as both Barack and Michelle Obama spoke to endorse Kamala Harris while denouncing Donald Trump. Perusing my various media streams this AM suggests they did a bang up job of it. Perhaps a few sobering reminders are in order: I wouldn’t get too excited by soaring rhetoric from the Obamas about saving democracy.” – Bill Astore

Michelle Obama Twists the Knife: ‘Hope Is Making a Comeback.’ But Where’d It Go in the First Place? – “Haven’t the Democrats been in power for the last three and a half years—and 11 ½ a half out of the last 16 years? Seeing that this is the case, how could it possibly make a comeback when the #2 person in the administration who caused its loss would be in charge if Michelle gets her wish? It’s nonsensical.” – Bob Hoge

Russia Becomes Safe Haven for Traditional Family Values (VIDEO) – “Progressive Liberalism is an anti-human ideology.  Foreign nationals are now able to apply for temporary residence in Russia based on the rejection of their countries’ policies. Such as “destructive neoliberal ideals which run counter to traditional Russian spiritual and moral values.” Under this new immigration option, certain requirements will be waived, applicants will not have to prove knowledge of the Russian language, its history or its laws. The Russian Foreign Ministry has been instructed to start issuing three-month visas to such applicants as early as next month.” – Greg Reese

How Many Little Girls = 1 George Floyd? – “Does anyone miss 2020’s summer of love crime? The arson, the lootings, the killings, beatings and rampages were “mostly peaceful” after all. The news mouths kept explaining the memorial rites at the time. They weren’t “rioting,” they were teaching us a lesson. It was often one that sunk in. Suburbanites steered clear of town and many proprietors closed shop. Crime surged upwards as police were instructed to live and let live. But the greatest coup is in the public emotion department. A man can spend nearly 50 years grasping and groping with dope and indirection, he can fight police and refuse to be arrested on a felony, but he is worth more to this party that would save us than any innocent victim ever known. It is the safest of bets that we won’t be getting statues or squares to Bebe King, Elsie Stancombe or Alice Aguiar. And an even safer one that you’d be called a Nazi, fascist and white supremacist for suggesting such a thing.” – Tim Hartnett  – IT’S NOT JUST THE NEWS MOUTHS EITHER.

Teachers Union president says standardized tests are racist – “Head of the Chicago Teachers Union, Stacy Gates: Standardized tests are “junk science rooted in White supremacy.” Translation: Tons of Chicago students can’t read and can’t do math. The tests measure the degree to which the students has mastered (or not) the materials taught in class. So Gates needs to overhaul what’s taught in the classroom if she wants to avoid racism. Let’s see what that looks like. Instruction in cell phone and tablet use? How to set up a YouTube account? How to qualify for a diagnosis of gender dysphoria?The students have to read and comprehend the test questions? That’s the problem? The very idea that 37 plus 24 equals 61 on a test is racist? The sum is actually another number? Addition itself amounts to white supremacy? I’m intrigued. I want to see Gates’ alternative curriculum and tests. ” – Jon Rappoport

The US-Backed Gaza Ceasefire Talks Are A Complete Sham – “The US Biden administration is claiming that the latest round of Gaza ceasefire negotiations have been the most productive in months. However, the deal that is currently on the table, after the Israeli government has additional conditions which go well beyond what was previously agreed to, no longer even make the agreement worthy of the title “ceasefire”.” – Robert Inlakesh   – DANIEL LARISON BASICALLY SAID THE SAME THING IN AN ARTICLE LINKED YESTERDAY!!!

The Blarney of Bidenomics Blabbed the Economy up again – “But, if you’re actually looking for a job, you may have to keep on walking. Well, they’ve done it again. Every year, the Biden Administration reports new jobs all year long that hit the sweat spot; then, after the measured year ends (from March to March in this case), they carefully count the jobs to make a correction of about half a million ghost jobs that never were and report it when hardly anyone is looking. Every year, the mistake results in a correction that is, of course, predictably downward. (You have to wonder about the same mistake being made every year.) So, it is no surprise that they came up short again this year.” – David Haggith

A few words about food: Are you watching and listening to the trends and what that will mean for your family’s kitchen table? – “We are getting ready to enter a period of extreme deprivation; now is the time to be preparing as best you can. China is. China’s communist government is stockpiling tons and tons of food, making it a major national security priority for its people. Why is this? All News Pipeline reports that Tommy Waller, president and CEO of the Washington, D.C.-based think tank the Center for Security Policy, says most Americans do not understand that “food security is national security”. China isn’t the only country doing this. India and Russia are also stocking up food supplies. Do they know something?

Monkeypox is a coverup for damage done to Immune System by COVID Vaccination resulting in Shingles, Autoimmune Blistering Disease & Herpes Infection – The Exposé  – DIDN’T LINK THIS TWO YEARS AGO WHEN IT WAS FIRST WRITTEN, BUT WELL WORTH READING AS IT IS JUST AS IMPORTANT NOW, IF NOT MORE SO, SINCE IT IS NOW SUPPOSEDLY A HEALTH EMERGENCY ONCE AGAIN!!!

Monkeypox – Here come the vaccines… – “The Monkeypox outbreak version 2.0 is progressing along predictable lines, gliding smoothly from the “declare emergency” phase to the “vaccines for everybody” phase. The first step is to outline that Mpox 2024 is totally different from Monkeypox 2022. How have they established that? The same way they do everything else – they just say it, and trust the scale of their reach and weight of “authority” to do the rest.” – Kit Knightly

Bird Flu Is Infecting Domestic Cats – “The media is once again saying that domestic cats are being infected by the bird flu. This could end up being an avenue for the H5N1 virus that’s circulating in dairy cattle to make its way to more human beings.” – Mac Slavo  – BIRD FLU, COW FLU, NOW KITTY FLU. DOGGY FLU COMING UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Infanticide in Gaza: UN to Vaccinate Over Half a Million Children with Deadly Polio Vaccine Over Fake Polio “Outbreak” – “In addition to the almost daily news of children being murdered in Gaza,…In July, a total of 6 cases of a positive polio PCR test result were found in sewage samples (fecal matter) at 6 locations. It was admitted that these cases were “vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2″. This was the beginning of the “polio outbreak” that is now being reported, even though at the time these tests were conducted, there was not a single person being treated for polio, nor anyone showing any symptoms of polio. Nevertheless, it was declared an “outbreak” and plans were immediately put into effect to produce hundreds of thousands of doses of the oral polio vaccines. One month later, in August, “three children presenting with suspected acute flaccid paralysis (AFP), a common symptom of polio” was reported. That’s it, 3 children, who did not even have a positive polio PCR test diagnosis, but only “symptoms” of polio, was all that was needed to determine that this was a deadly “outbreak” of polio and kick into gear the production of 1.6 million doses of the oral polio vaccine to give to children in Gaza.” – Brian Shilhavy – AS THE BLONDIE SONG GOES, “ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, GONNA GETCHA, GETCHA, GETCHA, GETCHA!!!!!!

Insurrection Against Corruption – “When invaders come to your country and breezily walk past the guards you’re on your own. People say, “no one’s coming to save you.” They aren’t, but what does that mean? That’s where the area gets gray. My taxes pay for these things to be done, to have the guards there to ask questions, to vet those coming in and keep the bad ones out. The statement is quite clear, they hate the American citizen so badly that they prefer foreign criminals to them. For those who are orchestrating this fraud, this dilution of the American voice, it’s all about power. They only need one election to go their way, no matter how horribly they have to cheat or who they have to let vote, to cement the policies that Harris/Obama need, just this one last four year period to flood the nation with another 30-40 million foreign invaders. We see what’s going on; we know it. Nothing has been fixed from the first steal.” -T.L. Davis

The Orange Trap – “The other day, Hombre Naranja claimed to be “better looking” than the woman who was appointed by the Leftist Party (it is an etymological affront to refer to this party as “democratic” when it summarily imposed the choice of its leadership cadre upon the party rank-and-file) as his supposed opponent in the forthcoming (s)election. Why would Hombre Naranaja say such an obviously stupid (because infantile, gratuitous) thing? Of course it appeals to his base, which loves to hear Hombre Naranja say infantile, gratuitous things. But why say such things when it isn’t necessary to say them – assuming the goal is to win the (s)election? On the other hand, if Hombre Najarana stopped making infantile, gratuitous comments, he might win enough votes to sway the (s)election in his favor. More finely, he might be able to increase his share of the vote by enough to make it untenable to claim his opponent won the (s)election, as happened last time.” – Eric Peters

Boring as hell: Biden makes his longggg farewell speech – “Lies, gaslights, and bizarre claims of “success.” Even Kamala couldn’t take it. It was boring as hell, devoid of content, Joe Biden mechanically repeating the same crap he’s been repeating for the past three years and as a professional bore, telling all, in a pathetic bid to claim that his presidency was somehow a success. The economy is up. Crime is down. The border surge never happened but is now fixed. The budget is under control. Inflation is conquered. His family is wholesome. He did his King Lear-like shouting, and repeated these whoppers about President Trump, all of them severely debunked, but like an old guy on the porch, just likes repeating them:” – Monica Showalter

Fact Check: Biden Claims Credit for 500,000 EV Stations, but Only 8 Were Built – ” “Creating hundreds of thousands of jobs in clean energy for American workers, including the IBEW installing 500,000—500,000—charging stations all across America.” President Joe Biden claimed credit Monday night for building 500,000 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, as part of the bipartisan infrastructure bill. The reality is that as of May 2024, two and-a-half years after the bill was passed, only eight of the charging stations had been built.” -Joel B. Pollak

Price gouging is a nonsense narrative – “(And price fixing is worse) stats with cats looks at the data. It’s clear that the DNC will be heavily focused on ideas of price gouging, corporate greed, and making increasingly economically illiterate calls for price fixing, one of the worst and most discredited central planning ideas in all of history. Price controls never work. They destroy supply and result in shortages. It’s the economic equivalent of peeing your pants to stay warm on a cold night. 20 seconds later, you’re really going to wish you had not done that. It’s popular with populists, but it’s got a zero percent success rate.” – El Gato Malo

Something’s Coming, We Don’t Know What It Is But It Is Going To Be Bad – “I wish I were not compelled by conscience to write this, but it seems clearly evident to me that we stand on the edge of an abyss. The fate of the world rests in the hands of leaders who are clearly psychotic and who harbor death wishes. It’s not terribly complex. Netanyahu and Biden are two of them. Yes, like other mass killers, I think they love their children and give their dogs biscuits to eat. But yes, they also are so corrupted in their souls that they relish war and the sense of false power and prestige it brings them. They gladly kill other people’s children.” – Edward J. Curtin, Jr.

Time Running Out – Robert F Kennedy Contemplating Exit? – “VP running mate Nicole Shanahan says the Kennedy campaign is considering dropping out of the race and endorsing Trump. The comments from Mrs Shanahan came during a podcast appearance with Tom Bilyeu’. Shanahan said there are currently two options: #1. “Staying in and forming that new party, but we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and Waltz presidency because we draw votes from Trump…” #2. “Or we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump.” Interestingly, it appears Kennedy and Shanahan are admitting they currently take votes from President Donald Trump. ” – Sundance |

Kamala Harris is Now Channeling Hitler – “Get ready for her “Campaign of Joy”. Kamala Harris’ non-sensical “What Can Be, Unburdened By What Has Been” word salad of a slogan hasn’t been cutting it, so she has now resorted to channeling Hitler and the Nazis. Harris is now trying to re-brand support for her ticket as “joyful”. The idea of gaining strength through joy originated in Nazi Germany.” – Jim McCraigh

Harris’ DNC Platform Calls For ‘Radical’ Mass Amnesty For Millions Of Illegals – “The official Democratic party platform calls for the passage of the US Citizenship Act – which the Trump campaign on Monday called ‘a radical amnesty bill that would give automatic citizenship and social security numbers to the millions of illegal aliens that invaded our country, including criminals, human traffickers, and gang members.'” – Tyler Durden

Is Ivermectin really a genocidal tool of the globalists? – “It is now clear to many including me that the globalist agenda is one of eugenics, with the aim of significantly reducing world’s population and changing the genetics of the remainder of us. The possibility that ivermectin, through a potential effect on fertility, may be part of the globalists dastardly genocidal plan is a fairly novel one that I will explore here today. The notion that ivermectin may cause infertility has been floating around since 2021 based on decade-old, mainly animal studies. After scanning such studies in 2021, I did not find the claim to be credible based on the supporting evidence. The animal studies being shared as proof, I found to involve very high doses of ivermectin, given for long periods with very short term follow up. ” – Tess Lawrie, MBBCh, PhD  – GOOD CLARIFICATION ON THE SUBJECT THAT IS GOING AROUND AGAIN!!!

Humanity Has Been Vaccinated Via Aerial Spraying For A Long Time – “The use of aerial manned and unmanned vehicles for the aerial spraying under State and Federal mandates for vector control began under the Geneva Act for Chemical and Biological Weapons in 1949. Over the years since its inception many amendments to this act and US parallel acts such as the Patriot Act of 2001, Space Preservation Act of 2001 and Weather Modification Research and Technology Act of 2005 have included the following implementations under terrorist and riot control for aerial spraying of the mass population in selective city locations: – Weather Modification. – Vector Control (insects, virus, and other similar vectors). – Mass Inoculations of the Public.” – Ana Maria Mihalcea, MD, PhD

Far more flu tests were given in 2019-2020 – “I don’t understand why this quantifiable evidence of possible “early spread” has not received more attention.

It’s entirely possible that an unknown percentage of “sick” people who received a flu test, could, in fact, have had Covid.” – Bill Rice Jr.

Let the DNC Frolics Begin – “Looking a little insurrection-ish at Chicago’s United Center all of a sudden as Illinois Governor Jabba the Pritzker orders a wall built around the perimeter to protect the Democratic Party from its very own basket of deplorables — the pro-Hamas, Antifa / BLM nose-ring-for-lunch bunch — with the state’s National Guard “on standby.” So, you can imagine that things might fly out of control in exact proportion to the Mandarins’ desperate need to seem legitimately in control — when they are just a clique of scared-stiff tyrants running scams on their own people — and the result looks like the Democrats’ certified metamorphosis into the Party of Chaos. Why scared-stiff? Because of a long list of serious crimes against the American people over the past decade, various treasons committed under color-of-law, for which they fear prosecution and punishment if the wrong person gets elected. Just in the normal course of things in Chicago, local ABC-7 News reports, “At least 23 shot, 5 fatally, in weekend gun violence across city” over the pre-convention weekend.

So far the 2024 election is proceeding according to the same playbook as 2020. Trump is touring the country, holding massive rallies that generate vast enthusiasm. He puts his foot in his mouth as often as he strikes rhetorical gold… Meanwhile, Kamala hides from the public, refuses interviews, avoids any unscripted interactions, and doesn’t attend rallies. She’s an idiot, of course – a mentally deficient, vindictive, charmless, alcoholic dollar-store prostitute. Every time she opens her mouth in public the word salad that cackles out elicits incredulous mockery from everyone who bothers to pay attention, just as she always has. She can’t even run on her record The propagandists called Trump’s supporters terrorists. Those who entered the Capitol were arrested, imprisoned, subjected to various forms of psychological torture. The regime stole the election in broad daylight, grinned with its hands in the cookie jar, looked the country right in the eyes with crumbs dribbling down its wobbling chins, grinned “What cookie?”, and dared anyone to call it on their blatant lies. The regime got away with it.” – John Carter – VERY GOOD BUT GRIM READ FROM JOHN!!!

The Most Dangerous Question of 2024 — What If Kamala Harris Isn’t an Idiot? – “On the eve of the Democratic National Convention, after a coup against their former standard-bearer Joe Biden, we face a very disturbing question. Harris was clearly chosen for this role. She’s been groomed for it for nearly two decades. She isn’t the best of a list of bad choices. The Democrats drove the good choices from the party and blocked others becoming a part of it. There were no Democratic primaries, folks. She was placed as Biden’s Vice-President to have the inside track on this gig when they decided Joe finally had to be dragged from the stage. Meanwhile Harris waited. She let Joe take the heat. She said little, did less and then is installed, tabula rasa, into a campaign just days after a failed assassination attempt on Donald Trump to steal even that thunder. She was installed as the candidate to front-run an insurgency at this week’s convention by Hillary Clinton and her merry band of Neocons.” – Tom Luongo

ECONOMIC NEWS

Hey, Fed, More Cowbell! – “Here is the result of the Fed’s misbegotten pro-inflation policy since it officially adopted its 2.00% target in January 2012. According to our trusty 16% trimmed mean CPI, the price level is up by +41% since then, and was still rising at a 3.31% annual rate in July, as per this week’s CPI release. Accordingly, given that any dollar earned or saved in 2012 is worth just 70 cents today, the question recurs: Why in the world should the Fed even be thinking of opening up the money spigot and thereby exposing wage earners and savers to a further prolongation of the purchasing power theft” – David Stockman

The Illusion of Democracy W/in a Bolshevik Communist New Deal – “Price Fixing vs Price Gouging: Kamala is claiming that our retail food industries and food manufacturing facilities are price gouging the American people needlessly. As a result, she declares that when president she will implement price fixing – making it illegal to charge any more despite rising costs. The Retail grocery chain stores she claims are making tremendous profits off the backs of consumers include such stores as Kroger, Walmart, Target, and others. Let’s take a look: Kroger annual net income for 2022 was $1.655B, a 35.98% decline from 2021. Net earnings in 2015 were $2.05 billion an increase of 5.8% over the course of ten years. Hardly a gouge when considering the rising cost of living increase during the last 10 years is roughly 300%. When Biden ‘announces the current inflation rate is now 2.9% – that means it is an additional 2.9% over and above the already 250% cost of living increases invoked since Biden took office 3 years ago.” – Helena Glass

    THE BIG PICTURE

Be Holy. Because You Matter – Peter Nayland Kust  – GOOD READ FROM PETER. MANY TIMES PEOPLE FORGET THAT GOD IS MOST IMORTANT PART OF THE BIG PICTURE!!!

WHO declares Monkeypox a global threat…or something – “It’s now called by the shorter name, Mpox. Soon to be Pox. Then Ox. Then X. It’s another virus which, like all viruses, doesn’t exist. Because no one has ever isolated a virus. No problem: the World Health Organization plunges ahead anyway. As it always does. Never let a good crisis go to waste. Particularly when you’re inventing the crisis in the first place. Why invent it only to let it blow away in the wind?” – Jon Rappoport

The Climate Of Lies Keeps Getting Hotter – “Name any event found in nature – wildfires, droughts, floods, heavy rain and snow, rising sea levels, crop losses, famine, disease, all of which there are credible alternate explanations for, and all of which were occurring before man discovered that crude oil was the key to modernity – and they will blame humanity as if it’s a criminal enterprise bent on destruction.” – I & I Editorial Board

What’s Really Happening with Mpox – “While angst is warranted, it is mostly misdirected. Mpox is a real disease and needs local and proportionate solutions. But the problem it is highlighting is much bigger than Mpox or the WHO, and understanding this is essential if we are to fix it. It fairly frequently passes to, and between, humans. It is passed by close body contact including sexual activity, and the WHO declared a PHEIC two years ago for a clade that was mostly passed by men having sex with men. The current outbreaks involve sexual transmission but also other close contact such as within households, expanding its potential for harm. About 500 people have died from Mpox in DRC this year, over 80% of them under 15 years of age. In that same period, about 40,000 people in DRC, mostly children under 5 years, died from malaria. During this same period in which 500 people died from Mpox in DRC, hundreds of thousands also died in DRC and surrounding African countries from tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, and the impacts of malnutrition and unsafe water. Tuberculosis alone kills about 1.3 million people globally each year, which is a rate about 1,500 times higher than Mpox in 2024.” – David Bell  – BASICALLY THERE WILL ALWAYS BE DISEASES WHETHER CAUSED BY SUPPOSED VIRUSES,  PARASITES OR GERMS. LACK OF SANITATION AND NUTRITION SEEMS TO BE THE MAJOR PROBLEM IN MANY AND MOST CASES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bavarian Nordic – “Bavarian Nordic is preparing for a clinical trial to assess the immunogenicity and safety of their Moneypox vaccine in children from 2-12 years of age in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda.” – James Roguski

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words – “Or a headline spot the difference. The original Telegraph article headline stated that ‘almost 14,000’ people in the UK have sought compensation after being left disabled by Covid vaccines before, at some point later in the day, the editors decided to downplay the amount of injuries by removing the number and just saying ‘thousands’. Nevertheless, whether people reading the headlines think it is 14,000 or thousands, this is a global scandal. And whatever pressure made the editors change their headline, the Telegraph is doing some interesting reporting and is slowly acclimatising the population to the fact that a lot of people were killed and injured by the Covid vaccines.” – The Naked Emperor

Because it’s in everything, it must be good for us, but let’s make sure… WHAT IS SOY? Soybeans are one of the major agricultural crops planted in the United States, second to corn. Nearly 100% of these crops are genetically modified to withstand the pesticides and herbicides sprayed all over them. (And they’re also modified for a whole lot of other purposes. So what exactly is Soy Lecithin? Quite simply, it’s byproduct waste of the soy industry… Why feed us byproduct waste? Because it turns costly trash into a money-maker. Instead of paying to dispose of it, they feed to to us.” – Agent131711

Against the World: Extreme False Flag Telegraphing by the Evil Zionist Israel – “I have never seen a more obvious set up for a false flag attack orchestrated by Zionist Israel, with the full cooperation of the U.S. and NATO, to create a fake and fatal attack that kills their own in order to stoke a war with Iran. Any war with Iran would necessarily include great risk of world war between the U.S., NATO, Russia, China, and the entire Middle East. The objective of course, is for Israel to bring the West against Iran and the Middle East, in order to destroy both in the effort to advance Zionist Israel to a position of being able to depopulate the earth while gaining false sympathy and even more massive power over all Western governments. The plot is in place. With the fake news reporting every day that Iran will strike, the table is set for a major false flag attack by Israel to occur. When (and if) this happens, most will have already been brainwashed to accept that this was an attack of aggression by Iran, (instead of a proper defense) and would support the most evil Israel and its U.S. and NATO puppets. ” – Gary D. Barnett

It showed the pernicious pair standing in front of a city on fire with this campaign slogan: Harris/Walz — Mostly Peaceful. Boy did the anonymous creator get that one right. Call me crazy, but I don’t think politicians who fail to protect cities should be put in charge of protecting nations. On the other hand, if the goal is to “let America burn,” Walz and Harris make perfect sense.” – J.B. Shurk

They know their onions what makes them money and what doesn’t, premised on what makes an economy go fast, and what makes an economy screech to a halt.” – Monica Showalter

Whatever Happened to Baby Trumpenstein? – “Is this the closing act of the project? Just over a month ago, on July 13, shots were fired at Donald Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. He was struck in the ear, by a bullet, or ricochet fragment, and rose up triumphantly with blood on his face, in that iconic Iwo Jima-style photo. Taken by the same guy who caught Andrew Card whispering to Dubya on 9/11. Those Republicans, including Trump, certainly quieted down pretty quickly, didn’t they? Wasn’t this a glorious chance to gain some positive publicity for the man despised by the entire mainstream media, and millions of Americans with chronic cases of Trump Derangement Syndrome? Finally, he could be seen in a sympathetic, and even heroic light. But the media shut this story down faster than a Black on White hate crime. Now, there were certainly good reasons to be suspicious about the Trump incident. Trump’s ear wound healed in record time. He also said his hand was covered in blood, which photos showed was definitely not the case. He demonstrated remarkably little concern for his safety, as he sprung to his feet, instead of waiting for his Secret Service detail to whisk him off the stage and into an ambulance, as their protocol required them to do. Instead, of course, Trumpenstein rose straight up, towering over the Secret Service agents who left his front completely open for any additional shots. The actions of both Trump and his Secret Service detail demand scrutiny” – Donald Jeffries

Why Iran still hasn’t retaliated for Israel’s July 30th and 31st assassinations – “On August 5th, Sergei Shoigu, who recently was promoted from being Russia’s Minister of Defense, to the post of Secretary of the Security Council, met in Tehran with Iran’s President and other top Iranian officials, and agreed to supply to Iran the world’s 2nd-best air-defense systems, the S-400 Triumph systems, from Russia (second-best only to the S-500 system, which is in shorter supply). Right now, Iran is still awaiting the installation and setup of these systems, and that’s why Iran hasn’t yet attacked Israel after those assassinations. The S-400 is considered by all experts that I have consulted, to be highly likely to be effective against the two main categories of weapons that the U.S. is preparing to unleash against Iran, by the hundreds, when Iran will respond to those assassinations: Tomahawk missiles, and stealth F-35 and F-22 fighter jets.” – Eric Zuesse

American Peronism. Kamala Harris’ Radical Left Plan to Ruin America. – “Price controls, higher taxes, government intervention, and subsidies paid for by printing a constantly devalued currency. These are the essential pillars of “21st century socialism” and the radical left Peronism that obliterated Argentina. These are also the main elements of the economic plan presented by Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party. Undoubtedly, this is the most radical socialist economic plan ever announced by the Democrats.” – Daniel Lacalle

US Living Standards in Grave Danger – “Everyone to whom you speak knows the financial and economic strains of our time. They are grave and growing, and most data points are now underscoring the point. The jobs market even in hourly employment is freezing up, while inflation continues to take its toll. It is well known, finally, that we have lost far more than 20 percent of our purchasing power over four years. How much is still largely a guess based on spending patterns. Two-thirds of people say that the number one issue they face is the cost of living and paying their bills. The typical American is spending nearly $1,000 more per month compared with three years ago just to pay living expenses. Nearly 70 percent report that they have cut back spending on entertainment, changed their grocery buying, and otherwise stopped with the extras like vacations and trips. Three in five say they have cut back on driving. Two-thirds are putting bills on revolving credit cards charging more than 20 percent. These trends show no change despite the seeming taming of inflation.” – Jeffrey A. Tucker

Bill Holter offered a view this week that urbanites will not be able to go into a store and spend silver dimes—but coins will become a standard of barter with farmers.

The World of Deception – “Iswear it didn’t used to be like this. I don’t remember thinking everything I looked at wasn’t real, but instead some sort of grossly manufactured “perfection.” That’s how it is now, the world we are allowed to see is largely fake, and as technology masters the art of deception, it will only get worse. Remember “safe and effective”? “Take this vaccine and you won’t get Covid.” Another obvious deception. How many other examples of this deception can you see out there in the world today?

Avian Flu Symptoms: fever, exhaustion, body aches, sore throat, cough. By contrast, the side effects of vaccines for these ‘nonvirus viruses’ consume pages of debilitating ‘symptoms’. Oddly, the symptoms of a large swathe of supposed viruses are all the same. People whose immune system is compromised will have more severe reactions to each. People who are healthy and well nourished will have symptoms for a few days up to two weeks before cure. No medications necessary. People who believe the WHO and CDC will be on ventilators and die.

Why the Feds Fear Free Speech – “My mistake. The Feds don’t fear free speech at all. The federal government fears truthful speech, clear thinking, logical deduction, and asking unapproved questions. Just down the road, a few counties over from me, on the heels of the Scott Ritter raid on dubious pretense and with incomplete warrants, we have journalist Dimitri Simes’ home and peace of mind similarly legally assaulted. I have yet to see mainstream news touch either the Ritter raid or the Simes raid. And they won’t. The first rule of Fed Club is – you guessed it – do not talk about Fed Club. Clearly, within days of a statement by Tulsi Gabbard seen as too close to the truth, the TSA and DHS hoodlums activated a team of feds to follow her every travel move, which also means monitoring her computer and phone. Somebody at Homeland is enforcing Fed Club rules.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

So You Dislike The Prospect Of Civil War? – “Good. That means you recognize that whether you believe some sort of “cause” or not you can run basic probabilities in your head and have come to realize that such an event likely gets you, someone you love, or both killed (or worse, you wish you were dead but aren’t.) Now take the next step: Recognize, admit, and make clear you understand to everyone around you that all political power has as its inherent foundation violence. Oh, you think not? Let’s take the lowly speeding ticket. Just try to not receive one when you’ve earned it and see how fast that “non-violent” police encounter turns into serious violence, and the longer and more-ardently you attempt to refuse the worse the violence will be. Civilizations delegate such acts to government for a very-valid reason: When undertaken individually they are the judgement of one, there is no check and balance on same, no appeal if errors are made and the outcome is usually not only final it is brutal besides. The exception, in a free society, is that every person maintains the right to defense of self and others because nobody has a duty to submit to being raped, robbed, mugged or murdered and the only means of equalizing the odds and thus forcing negotiation rather than violence when someone decides they’re going to summarily relieve you of your life, personal dignity or property is the personal ownership of firearms.” -Karl Denninger

That’s how many days Kamala Harris has been Vice President of the United States, effective this Monday. Now let’s do a thought experiment. Put aside the fact that Harris was arbitrarily made the Democratic nominee without ever receiving a delegate or winning a primary. And put aside the fact that, after usurping power via an in-party coup, she has continued as its candidate for nearly a month without giving an unscripted press conference or taking questions. Let’s focus on the fact that this candidate, who has been part and parcel of the well-being of the state of the nation for the better part of four years, is not only completely blind to the damage her current administration’s policies have caused but is publicly calling them out. And then, as if that wasn’t bad enough, she’s proposing policy solutions that are going to make the problems created by her policies worse.” – Quoth the Raven  – GOOD READ FROM THE RAVEN!!!!!!

Kamalanomics Blowback Begins As Food Prices Hit Record Highs – Tyler Durden

Kamala’s Policies Get Worse (VIDEO) – “ou’re never going to treat a disease by trying to cover up the symptoms. You’ve got to actually get to the root cause of the disease. And the root cause of the inflation disease is deficit spending, which ends up being monetized by the central bank.” – Peter Schiff

Inflation Is Decelerating for a Concerning Reason – “The first sub-3% inflation report in nearly 4 years is a much-needed bit of good news. Today we take a deep dive into the disinflationary forces at work in the economy. Turns out that the American family is on the brink…” – Peter Reagan

The Super-Wealthy Have a Problem – “The cultural consensus holds that the super-wealthy always manage to come out ahead in any spot of bother. Due to their grip on the levers of financial and political power, whatever lays waste to the bottom 90% of the populace is either 1) an opportunity to increase their wealth or 2) a minor bump in the road to ever-expanding wealth. History offers an abundance of examples. But there are counter-examples as well.” -Charles Hugh Smith

The headlines, of course, sounded great: ” – David Haggith

That being said, one of the most controversial ways women carry concealed is through the use of a purse. You do not have to look far to find some women who absolutely love this method and others who hate it with a fiery passion.” – Madison Heim

How Air Quality Can Influence Your Survival – “Of all the things that we talk about in survival and all the priorities we talk about, we rarely, if ever, talk about our need for oxygen. According to the rule of 3s, we will die in 30 minutes, if we are unable to maintain our body heat. But what about the most important survival need… the air that we breathe?

The UN Takes Step Forward to Create a ONE WORLD Government – “The United Nations is a SERIOUS threat to our future, and not only should the United States withdraw from the UN, it should be thrown out of New York City. The Biden Administration REFUSES to seek peace with Russia and has NO INTENTION of negotiating with Russia. That effectively says the United Nations is just a dog and pony show with no purpose other than to expand its own power as well as its World Health Organization to create its long-term dream of ruling the entire world. From the very beginning, the United Nations has indulged in self-aggrandizement to elevate itself to the de facto world government.” – Martin Armstrong

The Left and Right Are Two Cheeks of the Same Ass – “This is not anything new or current, it has always been the case, even though many would attempt to argue this point; each side claiming to be one thing or the other, and in opposition against each other, when both seek the very same agendas. Certainly, there are some necessary exceptions, but those exceptions are fraudulent, and meant only to falsely distinguish one from the other, and this is just in order to fool the fools.” – Gary D. Barnett  – TWO CHEEKS OF THE SAME ASS, GOTTA LOVE IT. ANOTHER GOOD ONE FROM GARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The No Prisoners, End of the Road Election – “It’s fun to muse on the torrent of panicked, deranged texting between Democratic Convention delegates as a runaway train of malignant fates, bad choices, insane policies, delusional ideas, and feral emotion drives them to nominate a moron for president. Are none among them even a little bit ashamed of the damage they’ve done to this nation? And maybe wondering about it between one another? Perhaps even anxious to make it stop? And so, the delegates head to Chicago, a city in civic freefall, to either pretend to celebrate the capricious selection of utterly dubious leaders imposed on them by unseen hands, or, just maybe, to revolt against the evil cabal affecting to “defend our democracy” by squashing it. All that commences on Monday. In the meantime, much misdirection zings around the Trumpian opposition and the outlier Robert F Kennedy, Jr., as the intel blob that runs mainstream media attempts to seed dissension and confusion amongst them.” – James Howard Kunstler  – MORE INSIGHTS FROM MR. KUNSTLER!!!

Kamala’s Last Walz? – “Kamala’s got one chance to take the presidency, and if Democrat operatives can’t fill out enough mail-in ballots to get her across the finish line, she’ll never be invited back for a second shot. For the next two-plus months, she inherits what Biden called “the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.” This operation catapulted Dementia Joe — who struggled to earn more than single-digit support in previous presidential campaigns — into the White House with the highest number of recorded votes for any politician in American history. Kind of makes you wonder why Democrats would feel compelled to ditch their incumbent if the guy actually won 25% more votes than their Marxist demigod, Barack Obama.” – J.B. Shurk

We are talking about names, addresses, phone numbers, employment histories, birth dates and Social Security numbers.

Our constitutional government and the federal workforce’s purpose is to protect our wealth, and the “public good” of the American people. “The Council’s” purpose is to crush and destroy it.” – Gregory Stenstrom

Ukrainian Mercenary NATO Forces Invade Russia Targeting Civilian Populations – Russia Labels Invasion as “Terrorist Attack” – “While most of the world has been holding their breath and waiting for an Iranian response to Israel’s recent assassinations in Tehran and Beirut, a Ukrainian military group reported to consist of NATO mercenaries invaded Russia and drove into the Kursk region of Russia, where there were no military bases or military operations, and attacked civilian neighborhoods who obviously offered little to no resistance. Russia responded quickly to the surprise attacks, but apparently this was a carefully planned invasion with highly trained NATO para-military personnel.” – Brian Shilhavy

So what really happened in Kursk? – “An extremely serious debate is already raging among selected circles of power/intelligence in Moscow – and the heart of the matter could not be more incandescent. To cut to the chase: what really happened in Kursk? Was the Russian Ministry of Defense caught napping? Or did they see it coming and profited to set up a deadly trap for Kiev?” – Pepe Escobar

Despite there being no evidence for the wild claims of mass rape campaigns and torture of Israelis, there are mountains of proof that these war crimes are being committed against Palestinians on an industrial scale.” – Robert Inlakesh

Hard Landing Ahead – MN Gordon

Will Fed Get Kamala Elected? – “A September rate cut puts Powell on a direct collision course with Donald Trump. That’s because the rate cut will come just six weeks ahead of Election Day on Nov. 5. It’ll probably give the stock market a boost (in many ways the mere expectation of a rate cut has already boosted stocks following the Aug. 5 mini crash). In turn, this will boost the Democrats’ chances of winning the presidential election.” – Jim Rickards

The Federal Reserve and Pandora’s Box – “The Federal Reserve system in the United States is the largest financial institution in the world with more than $7 trillion in assets. It “manages” the most important currency in the world. Its decisions can dramatically affect the course of the largest economy in the world.

We Don’t Have a Wage Problem; We Have a Money Problem – “he push to raise the minimum wage is relentless. For a while, it was “Fight for $15,” but with rampant price inflation, a $15 an hour minimum wage isn’t sufficient. Now it’s “Fight for $20.” Heck, it might even be “Fight for $25″ at this point. I understand people’s frustration with wages. Their pay doesn’t keep up with rising prices. But here’s the dirty little secret – we don’t have a wage problem. We have a money problem!

Monkeypox Is Baaack – “Reality Check: It Never Left. Now the more lethal strain of monkeypox is flaring out of control again in Africa. Because it was never really brought under control in the first place. Still, let us not lose sight of the fundamental hypocrisy at play: monkeypox has been an ongoing health concern in central Africa since before the monkeypox hysteria of 2022. What made the hysterics over the STD variant of monkeypox particularly galling was that there was a genuine monkeypox outbreak that had been ongoing in Africa and about which the corporate media did not give one tinker’s damn. Meanwhile, the corporate media is performing the ritual pearl-clutching which it does for every new “pandemic” (which is rapidly becoming newspeak for “disease of the week”).” – Peter Nayland Kust

Of Cabbages and Things – “Now, I was looking at the cabbage. It was $7.29. It is true. The cabbage, a tiny little thing compared to the cabbages I remember flourishing in the fields (making it hard to walk up and down the rows sometimes), was not on sale. But the cabbage was $7.29. And I thought about how the federal government here in Canada is giving the old people a break with dental coverage and yet, what good does having teeth do when there is nothing a person can afford to eat except maybe ramen noodles and dandelion greens and tomato soup made from catsup packages? What I ask, is the point of teeth with no food? However, the notion that is hardest to live with right now is how is it that all this tax-payer money went to save the Ukraine only to discover that the Ukraine is now invading Russia? For ffkssakkes! Really? I mean really!???!? The reason that cabbage costs $7.29 is because the Ukraine needs to invade Russia—a world nuclear superpower. The government can’t help farmers make cabbages but can help the military industrial complex apparently save democracy even as they dismantle it at home. And this is how the world works: It is an absurdity of cabbages, false teeth and countries with Messiah complexes.” – Sylvia Shawcross

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Political Mercenary?- “That Seems Unlikely. This is the credulity the Washington Post asks of us, that Robert F.

There are about a thousand American billionaires, and even merely the richest 400 of them account for 29.86%, virtually 30%, of ALL the political campaign money. Far more than half of all “discretionary” or congressionally budgeted spending by the U.S. Government goes to the military, which is sucking out all of the spending for the things and services that the public needs for their health care, education, social welfare, environment, and infrastructure.

For example, bushcraft skills can be immensely valuable to somebody in a survival situation, but just because somebody is practicing bushcraft in the woods doesn’t mean that they are in a survival situation. Conversely, people who find themselves in a survival situation may have no knowledge of bushcraft skills. In other words, a person who specializes in bushcraft is more self-reliant than a traditional ‘survivalist,’ but they still rely on certain tools.

Who Owns America? Oligarchs Have Bought Up the American Dream – “While the Deep State keeps the nation divided and distracted by a presidential election whose outcome is foregone (the police state’s stranglehold on power will ensure the continuation of endless wars and out-of-control spending, while disregarding the citizenry’s fundamental rights and the rule of law), America is literally being bought and sold right out from under us. Consider the facts. We’re losing more and more of our land every year to corporations and foreign interests. We’re losing more and more of our businesses every year to foreign corporations and interests. We’re digging ourselves deeper and deeper into debt, both as a nation and as a populace. The Fourth Estate has been taken over by media conglomerates that prioritize profit over principle. “Most critically of all, however, the U.S. government, long ago sold to the highest bidders, has become little more than a shell company, a front for corporate interests. – John & Nisha Whitehead

The Overclass – “The overclass has produced far less than it has taken and destroyed far more than it has created. What remains to be seen is where the breaking point is on underclass toleration of its own subjugation. The overclass and its globalist overseers are ratcheting up the totalitarianism, doing their best to make peaceful revolution impossible, and thereby making—as John F. Kennedy warned—violent revolution inevitable. The outcomes of dramatic change and chaos are unpredictable, but one prediction can be hazarded. The future will belong to those enlightened polities where there is no underclass, only people who are free to peaceably live their lives as they see fit and have the first and only claim on what they produce.” – Robert Gore  – GOOD READ FROM ROBERT!!!!

Unless the American people are further gone that I think, a majority are not voting for Kamala. She will win anyway. Biden had to go because the Democrats knew he could not run a close enough race for them to be able to again steal the election. ” – Paul Craig Roberts

Deep State Plutocrats Have Nowhere to Hide – “The worst mistake the Deep State ever made was to turn conservatives against Big Business. Traditionally, fighting corporate power was the purview of the political left. Times are changing, though. Over the last forty years, middle-class Americans who put their faith in “free markets” have gotten smacked upside the head by corporate interests time and again. The savings and loan scandal, pension scams, derivatives-juiced market crashes, the housing collapse, the offshoring of good jobs, tech bubbles, predatory lending, reverse mortgages, and countless other corporate schemes have left working-class Americans in dire straits. All of these various gut punches have produced a kind of “awakening” among “live free or die” Americans: “free markets” are an illusion, and the economic game is rigged.” – J.B. Shurk

Kamala Harris Is New Coke – “I know it’s not a perfect analogy, but the New Kamala I’m being sold by the DNC (and many, many, others) reminds me of the New Coke sold to me by Bill Cosby back in 1985. A lot of hype, many millions thrown at advertising, but in the end I’m left with a bad taste in my mouth.” – Bill Astore

The Rorschach candidate – “During a campaign, it’s essential that candidates tell the American people about their plans. We need to know who wants to do what and how they want to go about doing things. Donald Trump is doing that, of course. It’s all right there on his website. Kamala Harris, however, has none of that. A look at her campaign website includes literally nothing but a call for volunteers, a way to donate money, a way to buy merch, and a photo of her. That’s not the most damning thing in the world for any candidate, admittedly, but when you couple it with the fact that Harris seems completely uninterested in talking to the press, one can’t help but wonder just what the hell is going on here. Basically, Harris knows better than to run on her record. So, she decided to become a human Rorschach test.” – Tom Knighton

NYC Migrant Crisis To Cost Staggering $5 Billion For Shelters, Security And Food – Tyler Durden

An Old Story – “For a little over a year, it has been clear to people who have followed the war in Ukraine that there is no winning scenario for Ukraine. The sanctions on Russia failed to change the Russian approach to the war. The hundreds of billions in NATO weapons, planning and support were not enough to beat back the Russian army. The great Ukraine offensive of 2023 was a stunning failure that eliminated any possibility of the Ukraine army holding the line in the Donbass. The question has been how does the war end. For Ukraine, the best outcome is a negotiated settlement that includes a change in Ukrainian attitudes. That appears to be off the table now that the Ukrainians have launched this crazy incursion into the Kursk region of Russia. It appears that the plan was to reach the nuclear power plant in Kursk and then use it as blackmail. Of course, this plan sounds like it is from a poorly made Hollywood action thriller, rather than a sober-minded military operation.” – The Z Man

Biden admits ‘direct contact’ with Ukraine over Kursk assault – “The US leader has made his first remarks about the incursion of Kiev’s forces into Russia” – RT

Analyzing Putin’s Assessment Of Ukraine’s Incursion Into Kursk – “By officially regarding the latest cross-border incursion as an act of terrorism instead of a military invasion, Putin signaled that he’s holding off on diverting forces from the Donbass front, which thus prevents Kiev from achieving its “primary military objective”.” – Andrew Korybko

9 Scary FEMA Camp Facts You Must Know – “Over the last decade or more, FEMA has become one more federal agency that everyone loves to hate. I wouldn’t say that it’s hated anywhere near as much as the IRS; but it could very well be in second place. As with preppers, FEMA doesn’t know what sorts of disasters they’ll be called on to deal with. Considering how wide a range of possibilities that can cover, they’ve been given an impressive “toolkit” of authority, allowing them to do things in an emergency that no other government agency can. Apparently, all of FEMA’s authority comes from Executive Orders and not from legislation. That should be enough to give any sane person pause. But if it doesn’t, then exactly what some of those executive orders give FEMA authority to do should scare the socks off of them.” – Dave Jefferson

   THE BIG PICTURE

Britain Is Proof: Globalists Plan To Use Migrants As A Mercenary Army Against The West – “Why do western officials insist on gaslighting the public on illegal border crossings? Why do they attempt to destroy anyone that publicly opposes mass immigration from the third world? Come here legally or don’t come here at all. In Europe, the UK and the US polls show a majority of citizens want reductions in immigration and better border security. Yet, government officials, who often claim to be “protecting democracy,” brazenly ignore these majority concerns. Why? Third world migrants are hired muscle for the political elites. For example, third-world cultures are intrinsically violent and authoritarian. The top 20 most violent nations and most oppressive nations in the world are also the same nations sending caravans of migrants our way. Progressives will claim that’s a good thing and that we need to help these people. It’s not a good thing and most of them can’t be helped because they aren’t coming here to be free, they are coming here to take whatever they can take.” – Brandon Smith  – AND THAT IS THE BIG PICTURE ON WHAT IS GOING ON WITH ALL THE MIGRATIONS AROUND THE WORLD.

That our society has denied van Bronswijk and so many others like her these proper outlets for their instincts and instead pushed them into public activism and intellectual production itself explains a great deal of what is wrong with the world.” – eugyppius

Another New Study Finds Rising CO2 Enhances Planetary Greening and Reduces Drought Risk – “One of the more commonly-stated concerns linked to “global warming” is that sweltering heat will parch the terrestrial landscape (browning), limit vegetation growth, and foment water shortages – even widespread drought.

Too many Americans have become accustomed to voting for the “lesser of two evils.” Few seem to question just why we only have candidates of varying degrees of evil to choose from.

Either this is a coordinated effort by numerous nations across the globe, the maladministration of global elites (who have their fingers in everything) or some sort of mass psychosis.

Zelenskyy claims Russia did it as per instructions from his CIA Handlers. Russia has been the caretaker of the plant since the outbreak of war. Ukraine has made previous attempts to ignite the a nuclear meltdown which was evidenced by the IAEA in their previous inspection. While the plant is shut down it remains a volatile target. And the CIA is pushing volatility to extreme so as to ignite a more civilian casualty war. Despite our greatest in the world intel agencies all claiming Iran was going to strike Israel in retaliation for their assassinations, it hasn’t happened. Perhaps, their attack won’t involve missiles and bombs. Perhaps, they have a different means of vengeance. Still, Lloyd Austin has decided to send a nuclear submarine to the Middle East.

This is essentially a no brainer, anyone who has tried to go to a restaurant in the past year or so knows this. Anyone who has bought groceries or gas for their car knows this. We all have been hit by it, but few of us know the truth regarding “why.” Well, even that is obvious, but few people (sheep) want to admit it because it would make us (shrews) right, and them (sheep) wrong.

The Party Line Is a Mighty Squishy Line – “Does anybody know what this shape-shifting chimera passed off as “our democracy” actually is? I will tell you. Like everything else in the Democratic Party’s tool-bag these days, it’s the opposite of what it appears to mean, namely: You, the demos, give us, officialdom, the power to take whatever we like from you: your savings, your liberty, your stuff, your identity, and your posterity — because we are the boss-of-you, and don’t you forget it. . . and, by the way, the beatings will continue until morale improves. It’s really that simple, though the deceptions cooked up to hide it are convoluted to the max. Like: engineering the illegal entrance to the US of millions from other lands and then using procedural hocus-pocus such as motor-voter registration and public assistance applications (free money + automatic voter registration) to stuff the election drop-boxes with the ballots of non-citizens — who, get this, don’t even have to be the ones casting those ballots, which can just be harvested, like so many oven-ready pullets, by lowly hired shills.” – James Howard Kunstler

Don’t Go Thinking You Know How This Plays-Out – “What dangers lurk out there? Economy collapse—that’s a for sure. We go to war with China? Possibly, but that one may take some time. NATO (at US behest), goes to war with Russia in Ukraine? That’s still likely, but more iffy with passing days. Russia and the US at war over Palestine? Only economic collapse is more certain than that one. What about the possibility Kamila Harris becomes the 47th president of the US? Pundits dwell on Kamila being the worst candidate ever and she may well be.

She ‘stole’ Biden’s campaign fund of roughly $250,000,000. Walzing Katilda is definitely something out of Alice’s Wonderland. Walz dances around as though he thinks he’s been anointed King! Katilda yaks but the words form a circular pattern that means nothing. We were warned a year ago that AI would play a huge magic act on the elections. And not in a positive way. SO the puppets, are literal puppets, they are not alive, they are a distraction. WHY if Kamikins was the anointed President, why didn’t she invoke the get out of dodge amendment and declare Biden unfit? She could have stepped into her royal seat on the throne right then? Something missing. This would have been the easier means of creating a coup, so why make it harder?” – Helena Glass

A Harris-Walz Administration Would Be A Nightmare for Free Speech – “For over three years, the Biden-Harris administration has sustained an unrelenting attack on the freedom of speech, from supporting a massive censorship system (described by a federal court as an “Orwellian Ministry of Truth“) to funding blacklisting operations targeting groups and individuals with opposing views. President Biden made censorship a central part of his legacy, even accusing social media companies of “killing people” for failing to increase levels of censorship.

But while we shake our heads at UK authorities jailing people for their social media posts this past week, we should not kid ourselves. The answer is that silencing dissent can happen here and it is happening here. Here are just three recent examples of how the “deep state” or the permanent government is conspiring to restrict political dialogue in the United States.” – Ron Paul

COUNTDOWN TO WW3 – “Tik Tok. The countdown continues. The countdown began in September 2008, with the outset of this Fourth Turning. Everything that has happened in the last sixteen years has led to this point in history. In the past week we have seen Ukraine/US/NATO invade Russia, then bomb a nuclear power plant, provoke Belarus, and try to goad Putin into a response which will enable them to openly go to war with Russia. Meanwhile, Israel assassinated the one Hamas leader (in Iran) trying to negotiate a peaceful resolution to their war, knowing this would provoke Iran to respond in a way that will make the Israel controlled US Congress go to war with Iran.

Trump Doesn’t Want to ‘Go to Tehran’- “When it comes to Iran and the nuclear deal, Trump is the chief arsonist. It is silly to expect him to put out the fire he set and then rebuild the structures he destroyed. He doesn’t want to do it, he isn’t going to do it, and no one seriously believes that it is even on the agenda. No one should believe that Trump is serious when he says that he would have made a “fair deal” with Iran. The U.S. had a deal with Iran that was extremely advantageous, and Trump tore it up for no good reason. Nothing he says about negotiating with Iran can be taken at face value.” – Daniel Larison

A Prepper’s Dilemma – “Normally, it is sound policy to live below your means; to buy only that which you can afford to pay for – at the time of purchase. But we no longer live in normal times and I find myself giving thought to violating the policy I’ve lived by since I began my adult working life.
