THE BIG PICTURE

LIFE AFTER CHURCH: Why Christianity Needs a Second Reformation – “Most Christians are unable or unwilling to see the glaring differences between Jesus’ message and Paul’s. This reveals a deplorable lack of discernment on the part of so-called truth seekers. Jesus’ universal message of brotherly love was transformed into a Western-sponsored institution within 300 years. The institutional church hunkered down, consolidated power and gradually conquered European civilization through political intrigue, land and wealth acquisition, education control and a mass propaganda campaign that affected every facet of medieval life—up until that fateful day when Martin Luther nailed his litany of complaints on the door of the Wittenberg church in 1517.” – 009  – INTERESTING READ!!!!

The Untold Story of Polio – “Renaming and Vaccine-Induced Disorders to Hide Their Mistakes, Polio is often cited as one of the great success stories of modern vaccination. Public health officials frequently tout the campaign to eradicate the disease as a triumph of science. However, the historical reality of polio eradication is far more complex and troubling than the simplified narrative suggests. While the disease may have been renamed or reclassified under various conditions, and vaccines themselves have been implicated in causing polio-like disorders, these critical details remain absent from the mainstream discourse.” – Tracy Slepcevic

Forecast 2025 — Taking Out the Trash – “I would guess that you’re feeling as if anything might happen now. It’s hard to rule out even the possibility that we could all be vaporized before moving onto the next mundane chore of the day. The world order is dangerously in flux. America’s Woke-Jacobin “Joe Biden” regime was defeated in the 2024 election, but they were apparently just a front for the sinister entity we call the “blob” or the Deep State, which in recent years has consistently and garishly acted against our country’s interests. So, the blob abides, and it probably weaves schemes in the deep background of daily life even as a new government awaits. Paradoxically, Mr. Trump has to initially manage the US government as if it deserves a sense of reassuring continuity, which, in many respects it does not deserve. So many institutions and relationships between them have been perverted and damaged. The Department of Justice and the FBI are filled with lawyers and agents who abused their power egregiously and went to war against the American people. But what about the Defense Department and the CIA? Both are involved in domestic money-laundering activities at the giant scale, and in rackets abroad — such as the many grifts around Ukraine, in which giant financial entities like BlackRock are partnered-in. (You know, for instance, don’t you, that BlackRock was poised to acquire control of Ukraine’s natural resource base, until Mr. Putin’s resolve ended that fantasy.)” – James Howard Kunstler

In America It’s Another Week to be Proud of! – “Is Biden poised to ban 2025 by executive order? The good thing was the signing by Biden of a bill, perhaps with a little bit of help from his friends to make sure he spelled his name correctly, to make the Bald Eagle the official bird of the United States of America. The Eagle has been around the American Republic virtually since its foundation, appearing on the Great Seal and on various documents and even on currency, but it has never been officially dubbed the national bird. All honor of place is due to the great bald eagle, but one might recall that Benjamin Franklin once suggested that the best choice for the national bird would be the wild turkey. And Biden still has time for mischief, including possibly ennobling turkeys or even the issuance of a pardon to himself for ignoring the United States Constitution for four years.” – Philip Giraldi

Will Russia Collapse in 2025? – “Is Putin’s Government Trying to Be a 19th century liberal government in the brutal evil world of the 21st century? None of Putin’s declarations have had any effect on Washington’s determination to further breakup Russia, a constraint on American hegemony.Washington finds it extraordinary that it took Putin eight years after Washington’s coup in Kiev, which placed a Washington Puppet in charge of Ukraine, to come to grips with the fact that he had a problem, deceived as he was by his useless Minsk Agreement.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Deconstructing Elon – “Fish swim in schools – and so do some people. If the “school” suddenly veers off in this direction or that direction, the fish go in that direction. All of a sudden, the “fish” – on the Right – are going in Elon Musk’s direction. The same fish who used to swim in the opposite direction. They changed direction because . . . well . . . that’s hard to divine. It may be on account of Musk backing Trump, which caused the fish who swim to the Left to stop swimming in Musk’s direction. And the fish on the Right to swim back in his direction for exactly that reason. Having used the government to enrich himself he now says he wants to make the government more “efficient.” Kind of like the “mending” – rather than ending – of Obamacare. He also says we ought to be worried about AI and creepy robots – while pouring resources into developing both. A technocrat who pretend to be a humanist. How about what is now styled “X”. Musk bought it and promised it would henceforth be a Free Speech venue. It is nothing of the kind. It is a for-profit operation that requires those who wish their speech – i.e., their posts – to be seen to pay in order for them to be seen. Monthly. Ongoing. It is “only” $8, say some apologists. But that is beside the point.” – Eric Peters

Gov. Pritzker was and remains part of the coverup of Biden’s mental decline – “Among comments Pritzker made: “I’ve been with the President of the United States many times,” Pritzker said in February. “He is on the ball. The man knows more than most of us have forgotten.” “Of course,” answered Pritzker when asked in July if Biden was “physically and mentally capable” of serving a second term.”” – Mark Glennon

Thousands of Store Closures on Tap for 2025 – Mike Maharrey

Some Say Housing Bubble about to Implode, but this Time is Different – “Yes, I boldly claimed the last housing crisis would hit half a year before it did, and I just as strongly claim a big crash of EVERYTHING is coming, but I am also saying housing is not going to lead. In terms of just the US housing bubble, the implosion lacks one absolutely key ingredient that the former bubble had—a massive number of adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) that inevitably had to reset to higher rates once people could not refinance because homes were dropping in price.” – David Haggith

From the Archives: Until Something Breaks… It’s just taking longer than usual. The 10-year Treasury yield briefly touched 4.6% yesterday. That translates into 7% mortgages and higher rates on a whole range of other loans. Meanwhile, the major stock market indexes have risen dramatically in the past couple of months. This seems incongruous, but historically it’s both normal and ominous. Here’s a post from mid-2023 putting today’s action in context:” – John Rubino  – GOOD READ FROM JOHN WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY LINKED ON 6/29/23!!!

Cocoa bean beats Bitcoin – “Bloomberg has named chocolate’s main ingredient the best-performing commodity of 2024. The crypto coin was arguably the most watched asset this year, as it smashed the long-awaited $100,000 threshold in early December. Prices for chocolate’s main ingredient have almost tripled since the start of 2024 as faltering production in West Africa — the world’s biggest growing region — led to massive supply shortages,” – RT

Will AI Cause Mass Deflation? – “Still, setting aside the job dynamics, one thing we can be sure of is AI will radically reduce prices — deflation. This is because across the board AI replaces things that were more expensive — especially when you consider AI combined with robots.” – Peter St Onge

Mark Zuckerberg Denies Hawaii ‘Doomsday Bunker’ Existence, Calls It A “Little Shelter – “In late 2023, Wired revealed that Zuckerberg’s bunker was around 4,500 square feet, equipped with a “blast-resistant door” and enough food for the tech bro and friends to survive an apocalypse. So, what does Zuckerberg know about future world events coming down the pipe?” – Tyler Durden

Soil Chemistry Basics – ” A friend introduced me to the Albrecht system of soil testing, but I just read the information and set it aside, which is what 99% of other gardeners would do as well. In 2004 I did my first soil test which was at a friend’s place of business, but it was more to satisfy my curiosity than anything else. Then in 2009 I did my first basic soil test (a Morgan soil test) for my own garden and started to apply the knowledge gained by it. Finally, in 2011 I did an Albrecht-type soil test (actually a fairly close “copycat”, based on the Mehlich III extraction which is usually listed as “M3”) and discovered that the two tests were very different and did not agree with each other. I came up with a way of comparing the two soil tests to be able to use them as diagnostic tools to solve fertility issues (disease and insect problems usually) and increase the yield significantly. ” – D.N.G.

King of the Road: Deter Road Ragers with Improvised Vehicle Weapons – “An old firearms instructor buddy of mine named James Yeager (yes, of Tactical Response) used to tell me that “A two-ton truck beats a 9mm any day.” And he was right. Getting intentionally plowed down head-on by a Ford F150 would just suck.” – Waysun Johnny Tsai
