THE BIG PICTURE
Two Women. Two Mothers. Two Miracles. – “As with the stories of all men, the story of Jesus begins in His mother Mary’s womb. Having conceived by the Holy Spirit, Mary carried Him through her pregnancy until it was time for Him to be born in Bethlehem. Interwoven with the story of Jesus is the story of another man, John the Baptist. Born into the world and raised into manhood, John preached a message of preparation, that the Kingdom of Heaven was nearly upon the world. John’s ministry would culminate with the baptism of Jesus. Yet that baptism was not the first time the paths of Jesus and John had crossed, nor is John’s ministry the beginning of his story.” – Peter Nayland Kust
Choosing What to Believe – “There was a time in a galaxy far, far, away that you didn’t have the luxury of “choosing” what to believe. The job at hand was to figure out what the truth was and believe in that—the truth. Now, it seems we don’t need to do that if we don’t want to. Now we can choose—if we don’t like an option, we can cast it aside and believe something else that makes us feel better. That way we can create the reality we want—or so we think. Soon, there may be only one option in what to believe—the truth. And it probably isn’t going to be pretty.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP
Most People Got No Idea What’s Coming – “Most Americans, like children at the seashore where the tide has gone out, unfathomably far, stand there, mesmerized, without concern they ought to run for their lives. They don’t get they are witnessing a process, in a waiting game, ahead of the biggest Tsunami in history. The US and its allies are running out of runway. Food price inflation continues off the charts. We see price inflation across the entire realm of discretionary spending. Snowmobile/jet ski production has been stopped indefinitely—and the realtors are in panic. For friends who assume that central bank gold purchase will drive gold price up— think again. Debt acceleration far outstrips the amount of gold purchased for insurance. ” – neverhadaboss.com – GOOD READ FROM ERIK. TAKE HEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hospitals returning to mask mandates, blaming low vaccination rates for spread of viruses; Hmm, why is it that people don’t trust their vaunted needles? – “Guess what? It’s winter. People get colds. People get the flu. That’s part of life. No mask is going to stop that. And you might end up with something much worse than a cold or flu if you submit to one of Big Pharma’s patented death shots.” – Leo Hohmann

War on Microbes: The murky agenda behind the covid ‘pandemic’ – “THE biodefense mafia don’t really care whether zoonosis (a disease passed from animals to humans) or a lab leak was to blame for the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. They just want you to believe there was a pandemic and restrict causation to one of those two options. It’s a false binary. Either explanation is a win for them because what they’re really doing is setting an elephant trap. The objective is to perpetuate the ‘War on Microbes’, a taxpayer-subsidised pharma racket in which finding or inventing viruses in order pre-emptively to invent countermeasure vaccines can continue ad infinitum. Either excuse serves their purpose.” – Paula Jardine

NEWS
“Take it Down Act” to Protect Children from Online Sex Abuse had Bipartisan Support with Unanimous Senate Approval – Musk and Trump Killed It – “Last night the House of Representatives approved the bill to stop the U.S. Government from shutting down, and Elon Musk came out the big winner (Donald Trump – not so much), by getting two provisions removed that would have hurt his companies and potentially reduced much of his wealth. The one provision that was killed and that so far I have not seen anyone in the media ask “why?”, was the removal of the widely popular “Take it Down Act” which had bipartisan support, would protect children from being sexually abused online from pornography developed through AI without their consent, and had already passed the Senate by a unanimous vote. It was in the original bill that was set to be approved before Musk used his X bully pulpit to stop it. The other thing Musk was successful in removing, was a provision to limit Tech investments in China.” – Brian Shilhavy
Reflections from the Heart of the Empire: Dances of Tragedy and Farce – “All I can do is to rail against my own government’s disastrous foreign policy being driven by a pissant country full of genocidal maniacs, and that sucks, but I will continue to do it… Meanwhile, we will continue to see stories like this, of the brave Israelis bombing yet another hospital and slaughtering still more helpless people. My tax dollars going to this,” – Ohio Barbarian
From the Back Forty: It’s Christmas Time in the Swamp – “Heartlanders are left wondering who’ll get to Whoville first, the Grinch or Santa. As heartlanders prepare for the onslaught of family and friends over the Christmas Holiday, three men who claim to be wise and certainly are ridiculously wealthy have traveled afar to deliver the newly elected President Donald Trump blessings and good cheer. The Biden elves have begun to break their silence on just how badly the Big Guy was compromised, and the Grinch almost brought a government shutdown, but Whoville was able to get its act together.” – Sarah Cowgill

How a European industrial rock band opposed to violence got tied to school shootings in America – “n 1999, when the band’s lyrics were cited by the perpetrators of the Columbine High School massacre in Colorado, which resulted in 13 deaths, their message of resistance was suddenly eclipsed by the violence they had long condemned. In January, a song by the band was featured in a TikTok video posted moments before a 17-year-old unleashed gunfire at Iowa’s Perry High School, killing two and wounding others. And now, the band has once again been thrust into the spotlight by photos of 15-year-old freshman Natalie Rupnow, who on Monday killed a teacher and student at her private school in Madison, Wisconsin. The images show her wearing a black KMFDM band shirt while at a shooting range.” – Alaa Elassar – THIS IS JUST A DISTRACTION, THE REAL CAUSE ARE THE KIDS ON SSRIs. SUPPOSEDLY NATALIE WAS IN THERAPY. GUNS WILL ONCE AGAIN BE BLAMED AND NOT THE DRUGS THAT WARP THEIR MINDS!!!!
Without Assad, Syria Will Fall Apart – “Despite Bashar al-Assad’s crimes, he is the only realistic answer to Syria’s troubles. When analyzing Assad, people must ask themselves the common question for which economists are known: compared to what? Let’s not forget how Iraq looked after Saddam Hussein was toppled in 2003. An Iraqi by the name of Kadom al-Jabouri took his sledgehammer to help topple Saddam Hussein’s statue as US troops entered the city. A decade later, he says why he regrets it: “Then we had only one dictator. Now we have hundreds.” Iraq today suffers from the typical instability produced by countries unaccustomed to parliamentarianism.” – John Kennedy
SITREP 12/21/24: Things Heat Up in Kherson, Ukraine Losses Update, and More – “After a period of strange rumors that Russian forces may attempt to storm the Dnieper, last night Russian forces began a massive artillery and MLRS bombardment of the Kherson region with claimed attempts of isolated groups to cross to the other side. Details are scarce, and no one quite yet knows if this is all a part of some psyop campaign to throw the AFU off, or a real concerted beginning toward a major operation” – Simplicius
ECONOMIC N EWS
Why Would Honda Buy Nissan? – “There are rumors afoot that Honda – which is healthy – is considering buying Nissan. Which isn’t. Just a couple of weeks ago, a senior person within Nissan’s hierarchy said the company had “12 or 14 months to survive.” That’s not healthy. That’s just shy of dead. Honda is not in that position. So why would Honda put itself in that position – by doing what amounts to chaining itself to a dead man walking? What do they think think lies down “the road to full electrification”? Has Honda’s management lost its ever-loving mind? Well, because China is why.” – Eric Peters

Depression, Debt, Default & Destruction in 2025 (VIDEO) with Martin Armstrong – “We are in this Ponzi Scheme. They have to keep selling new debt to pay off the old debt. . . . When you can’t sell the new debt, that’s when the default happens because you can’t pay off the old debt. What should the average guy do now? Does Armstrong think people should get to the bank and get cash? Armstrong says, “Yes, cash, physical paper money. We just had two hurricanes here in Florida. This idea of Bitcoin and CBDCs are very nice, but what’s the reality? The internet was down for 10 days. A credit card did not work. You wanted something, it was cash only. It was the same in Canada when they froze all the accounts of the truckers. They could not even buy food. Unless you had cash, you were dead in the water. ” – Greg Hunter
Whoever Does Not Respect the Penny is Not Worthy of the Dollar – “This definitive sign of a currency collapse is easy to see… It’s when paper money becomes trash. Maybe you’ve seen images depicting hyperinflation in Germany after World War I. The German government had printed so much money that it became worthless confetti. Today, there’s a similar situation in the US. When was the last time you saw someone pick up a penny off the street? A nickel? A dime? Nowadays, even bums often can’t be bothered to pick up anything less than a quarter. The US dollar has become so debased that these coins are essentially pieces of rubbish. They have little to no practical value.” – Nick Giambruno
Central Banks Will Prioritize Government Spending Over Inflation In 2025 – “Independence of central banks has been under question for many years. However, the disappearance of “higher for longer” in 2024 erased any doubt about the monetary authorities’ lack of independence.” – Daniel Lacalle

Cocoa Biggest Commodity Winner Of Year As Food Inflation “Enters Dangerous Territory” Tyler Durden
Technical Update on Gold & Silver – “Although the Fed met expectations by cutting rates on Wednesday, it roiled the markets by signaling a slower pace of rate cuts in the future. Since the election, financial markets have been marked by heightened volatility and uncertainty as they absorb news about President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks and potential economic policies. Adding to the complexity are geopolitical tensions and ongoing speculation about Fed policy. On Wednesday and into Thursday, markets across the board—from stocks and commodities to cryptocurrencies—experienced sharp sell-offs after the Fed adopted a more hawkish stance on interest rate cuts for 2025, citing persistently entrenched inflation.” – Jesse Colombo

12 Clever Tricks to Stay Hidden and Untraceable in the Wild – “So much of wilderness survival in prepping circles revolves around sustainment, and with good reason. Ensuring that you have access to clean drinking water, adequate food for energy, and suitable shelter for staving off exposure is paramount to survival. But as awful as it is to consider, your biggest threat while in the wilderness might come from other people. It might be desperate fellow survivors, marauding bands of raiders, or even ruthless government troops. Whatever the case, avoiding unknown contacts might be the most important factor in staying alive…” – Tom Marlowe

VERSES FOR THE DAY
Luke 2:6-7 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
