THE BIG PICTURE

AI World and the Cashless Society (VIDEO) – ” the true origin of cryptocurrency can be found in the early days of Silicon Valley, with the CIA, Mossad, and their pedophile blackmail operations, managing the operation from the start. In 1997, the NSA published How to Make a Mint, the Cryptography of Anonymous Electronic Cash. Ripple was formed in 2004 by a member of the INSA and a descendant of one of the most powerful banking families of Europe. Four years later, in 2008, the banks crash, and the Bitcoin white paper is introduced to the public. Four years after that, in 2012, Ripple XRP is released to the public, and today it is being considered for its new stablecoin. Stablecoins, such as Ripple’s RLUSD, are digital versions of fiat currencies. While Bitcoin may arguably be a decentralized currency, stablecoins can be programmed and tracked as easy as any CBDC can. It’s the same thing, just a different name.” – Greg Reese

Messages Sent During the Plandemonium – “Many news outlets are reporting on the murder of UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson. Every aspect of the killing looks not simply like a professional hit, but an extremely well-planned and orchestrated assassination. Is this a case of somebody removing pieces from the chess board? UNH is certainly one of the few health organizations with enough data to answer remaining questions about the so-called COVID-19 pandemic. So, we should ask the question, “Was this a message sent?” – Mathew Crawford

Why Are UK Electricity Prices So High? – “It is commonly claimed that the rapid price rise in recent years has been driven by the soaring price of natural gas. In fact, this is only a small part of the story. The only thing that has changed since 2019 is the rapid decarbonisation of the grid.” – Paul Homewood

Beware The Big Personalities – “A working analogy for our political climate is TR (Teddy Roosevelt), who became president in 1904. Now we have our big personality, Trump, back for a 2nd term. Trump is a personality as large as TR—but maybe not as intelligent. Trump has warned the BRICS that ceasing to use the dollar would bring down on them the wrath of god (small caps). Doesn’t Trump (or any of the fools surrounding him), understand that BRICS is nothing more than the result of US weaponizing the dollar and de-banking the world? Putin reiterates that he is not against using the dollar—instead, he has been disallowed from using the dollar—cut out of Swift—effectively de-banked. Russia didn’t sanction the US—the US sanctioned Russia for disagreeing with rules-based order. Constitutionally, we have no business in Ukraine—or funding Netanyahu. Big American personalities have taken us far away from constitutional mandates.” – neverhadaboss.com – ANOTHER GOOD READ FROM ERIK!!!

Nobody Knew (Except Most Did!) – “Media mouth-breathers are shocked that Dementia Joe Biden would pardon his son for eleven years’ worth of crimes against the United States. He said he would do no such thing! He gave us his word — as a Biden! Yeah, about that last bit — I don’t know exactly when Child-Sniffing Joe started referencing his family name as a way to assure the public that his promises are always kept, but the word “Biden” has been synonymous with corruption at least since the Delaware Dimwit first entered politics a half-century ago.” – J.B. Shurk

The Biden Legacy: Failure, Fibs, and Folly – “Pardoning his son may seal the deal on the most feckless presidency in modern memory.” – Tim Donner

Transition As Civil Warfare – “The boundaries against normal politics have been destroyed by the Biden Administration. The changes they’ve caused are simply unacceptable. The “transition” typically is one of mere transfer of administrative personnel. Starting with Obama, the transition has become one of setting landmines for the incoming administration.” – T.L. Davis

Why ‘America First’ resonates – “The United States is the last remaining superpower. Sure, China wants to be one and Russia thinks it still is, but we’re the last one standing. That means a lot of people think we have a lot of responsibilities that extend well beyond our borders. We’re on the hook if we do stuff and we’re on the hook if we don’t. Yet the phrase “America first” has risen to prominence, and it should have. Why? Because too many of our politicians are wasting our money helping people in other places when Americans need that help.” – Tom Knighton

The Barbarian’s Dictionary of Democratic Party Language or that of any aligned neoliberal party in any country. – “As someone who witnessed first hand the devolution of the Democratic Party from the dreams of the Great Society to the cackling nightmares of Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris, I have also seen how they have changed the meaning of basic political terms to further their own nefarious purposes. I hope this dictionary, in no alphabetical order whatsoever, helps clarify just how Orwellian they truly are” – Ohio Barbarian

Why Is Everyone Making Such A Big Deal About One Shooting When 14 Million Crimes Are Committed In The U.S. Each Year? – “Are we supposed to be shocked that someone was just gunned down on the streets of New York City?

President Biden, Where Are the Children? – “In recent months, a disturbing revelation has emerged from the heart of our nation’s immigration system: Over 300,000 unaccompanied migrant children who crossed the U.S. border during the Biden-Harris administration are unaccounted for. Without a doubt, we cannot deny the fact that many of these children are now tools and victims of the human sex trafficking industry – a heinous trade that represents the worst of the worst.” – Samuel Rodriguez

THE OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME. THE ONLY QUESTION IS… WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH IT? (VIDEO) – Gregory Mannarino

So Trump wants to slap Canada with 25% across the board tariffs? – “How’s that work for Americans? Uranium. The largest sources of uranium, delivered to the US in 2023, were Canada with 27% of total deliveries and Australia and Kazakhstan with 22% of total deliveries each. The US can no longer get it’s U from Russia. Oil. Canada exports 4.4 mbd of heavy sour crude into the US. The US uses this low grade oil sands crude in a few east coast refineries that are able to handle it. The import of this crude enables the US to sell 2.2 mbd overseas and claim itself to be energy independent. Electricity. Canada exported 27.6 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity to the United States in 2023,” – Richard Mills

Powell Spins Another False Narrative – “”When Trump is threatening these tariffs and everybody thinks we’re in the driver’s seat because we’re everybody’s best customer, we’re actually not the best customer. The best customer is the customer who pays. The customer who you have to finance, the customer who you have to loan money to buy your stuff, especially if the customer is never going to pay you back but just keeps demanding that you loan more and more money… That’s actually your worst customer, and the sooner you can cut that customer off, the better.” Fed Chair Jerome Powell was interviewed on Wednesday, and he refuses to see the writing on the wall. The economy is not strong, and new data proves it:” – Peter Schiff

Repatriated Gold Reaches Historic Highs – “The share of global official gold reserves not stored at the Federal Reserve Bank in New York (FRBNY) and Bank of England (BOE) in London has reached 78% in 2024, from 51% in 1972. The shift in this ratio appears to be accelerating and can be seen as a proxy for the West’s decline in financial dominance. Countries were pressured by the U.S. not to redeem dollars for gold during Bretton Woods, which de facto ended in 1971. Since the early 1970s, foreign central banks slowly began withdrawing metal from the Fed’s vault in lower Manhattan. ” – Jan Nieuwenhuijs
