THE BIG PICTURE

The Data Dump – “Lost in all the excitement of inauguration day, and there was much to find exciting, was something Trump said in response to a question. He said he plans to release everything about JFK, RFK and MLK that is currently classified. He tried to release the JFK material in his first term, but was talked out of it for some reason, but now he seems committed to it and has now added the others.  The question at the heart of all of these long-held secrets is why this information has been hidden from the public. The easiest one to answer is the Epstein material, which is going to include the names of his friends. Given the activity on that island, powerful people do not want their name attached to Epstein. It is possible that the FBI has been using this knowledge to blackmail people. The corruption in the FBI is so deep, you cannot rule it out. The other stuff is a bit more interesting. What information is the government hiding about Martin Luther King or his killing? Now, the Kennedy stuff is another matter. At this point, the only good reason to block the release of the remaining Kennedy material is that it implicates the CIA or the Mossad in the assassinations. ” – The Z Man – WILL THE DEEP STATE FINALLY GET EXPOSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dealing with the Bad Wolf – “Americans have completed their long goodbye to Joe Biden. After a life spent cheerleading and facilitating wars, interventions, conflict and corruption,… The country dodged a bullet and survived Biden’s presidency. Sadly, we could say much the same for many past presidencies – knowing that those most deadly to the Constitution have been in the distant past, with Lincoln, Wilson and FDR. But with every statist ideologue, every war-loving interventionist, every moralizing hypocrite and every power hungry sociopath in the Oval – the constitutional republic has been harmed, diminished, and starved.

Donate the $12 billion to the freezing, hungry Americans in NC and Georgia and the J6ers who have been abused by your government. What a scam.” – Jim Quinn

A Look at Trump 2.0 in 2025: Zionist Expansion and More Vaccines – “I represent a rare third alternative view that is hard to find in the media these days, and that is a view that is non-political and sees all politicians residing in Washington D.C. as corrupt, with only an illusion of differences, and that in reality we have a uni-party today as both sides of the political spectrum in Washington D.C. have a lot more in common, than they have differences.

I Heart Substack- ” Watering seeds, and yanking out roots.It’s true what you say, my growth has been flat, but I’m proud of it. I’m the only 5-figure Substack who has cycled through 2k readers in one year. Why? Because I endeavor to tell the truth (as best as I can see it) and no matter how much people say they want to read the truth…the truth is, they’re lying. The truth shocks and insults them, and makes them feel uncomfortable, and if anything has become forbidden in our present age, it’s feeling uncomfortable. People will resent anyone who desires to tell them the truth, but they won’t even know why. But because I desire to tell the truth, I believe I can tell you why—they don’t like feeling uncomfortable. ” – The Good Citizen – GOOD READ AS USUAL!!!

Techno-Slop: It’s What’s For Dinner, Decrees New York Times – “Suddenly corporate state media is concerned about flyover farmers’ livelihoods’ when high-fructose corn syrup bans are on tap  Eventually, they cut the bullshit and get to the point, which is not that corn syrup bans would harm flyover country bumpkins in Darke County in Western Ohio, as the lede insinuates — whom, by the way, The Guardian, like all liberal media, despises and whose interest the paper would never defend in any other context — but that they might eat into giant multinational food corporations’ bottom lines, like Cargill and Tate & Lyle, lead manufacturers of ultra-processed foods, otherwise known as techno-slop.” – Ben Bartee

The Saturation effect questions the prevailing narrative on CO2 – “The assertion that carbon dioxide is a “pollutant” has been the centerpiece of public policy on climate for the developed world in recent years. Demonizing CO2 has impacted virtually every aspect of modern Western civilization. It condemns the burning of fossil fuels for electricity, the use of combustion engines for transportation, and the employment of carbon fuels for virtually everything supporting modern civilization – even down to the kind of washing machines and kitchen stoves that are deemed acceptable. It forms the basis for the most grotesque of all the alarmist shibboleths – the “social cost of carbon”.” – Collister Johnson

Another Door Opens – “As I write, long before dawn, “Joe Biden” remains President of the US. You must wonder, as the hours dwindle to noon, what pardon power magic he’s saving for the final minutes of his term, while the whole nation is distracted by the spectacle in the Capitol Rotunda, the moiling dignitaries and celebrities, the solemn arrival of the elect, the snarky palaver of the cable news jockeys, the electric charge of history in the large room. . . . Will “Joe Biden” wave his pardon wand over Tony Fauci, Francis Collins, Scott Gottlieb, Deborah Birx, Rochelle Walensky, and dozens of other public health officials who sprung the Covid-19 operation and the deadly vaccinations on the country? Or Ralph Baric, hunkered out of sight in his Carolina lab? You realize, of course, that the orgy of illness and death from that is hardly over. For four years under “JB” the truth has been obfuscated and buried, because none of those characters has really had to answer for anything. So, today another door opens. The To-Do list for Mr. Trump and his aides-de-camp is dauntingly long, the corrections needed are monumental.” – James Howard Kunstler

The Instauration – “Today is the big day when Donald Trump completes the greatest comeback in American political history. After his ouster in 2020, few thought he would be allowed to run, much less win the presidency. Every part of the managerial regime was focused on stopping him by any means necessary, but he found a path through it. In that regard, his restoration today is the greatest political victory in American history. No candidate has overcome bigger odds than Donald Trump. That may be why the crazies are so quiet this time.” – The Z Man

Hail To The Chief? – “After 3 articles critiquing/berating Donald Trump (losing 2 readers), with others asking why I even voted for him, another article is needed to address where I’m coming from. I voted for Trump because 4 more years of the left would have handed us over to some version of WEF/UN/EU, 1-world globalism, which would have marked an end for any possibility of survival for the republic, a stripping of liberty, and feudal servitude. I am forever grateful to Donald Trump as the sole force that offed the left. A left that used to represent anti-war that lately surpassed a warmongering right as the greatest threat to world peace. Trump exposed the Biden/Obama legacy for what it is: Biden a decades old warmonger without concern for the Bill of Rights. And Obama—a fascist. Now, we must ask ourselves, is the new boss the same old boss, a question needing asked from a place of neutrality? We each must ask the relevant questions, which we can’t do, condemning Trump being elected—or as unquestioning, Trump sycophants. But now, we need to remember that Trump works for us—and given the size of his personality—he needs to be reminded of that.” – neverhadaboss.com – GOOD READ FROM ERIK!!!!!!!!!!

The Great Man Returns – “It seemed fitting that President Jimmy Carter’s state funeral took place only days before President Trump’s second inauguration. Of course, all of America’s living ex-presidents attended Carter’s funeral. Sitting in the same pew at Washington’s National Cathedral, they appeared a perfect rogues’ gallery of corruption and failure. Then there was President Donald J. Trump — no doubt a major trigger for Hillary’s shrewish ire — who almost looks younger and more spirited with each passing year. The contrast in appearance between the vigorous Trump and the rotting Establishment that he has repeatedly outflanked was stark and revealing. Indeed, the image of a happy and confident President Trump separated from a crusty “ruling class” in various stages of decay was difficult to ignore. ” – J.B. Shurk

It’s Not That Trump Is Good, It’s That Biden Was Just That Bad – “Trump will go on to do many evil things as president, just as he did during his first term, but none of this will reverse the fact that Biden just spent four years advancing genocide, nuclear brinkmanship and authoritarianism” – Caitlin Johnstone

Biden’s Legacy: Covid Persecution, Censorship, and Across-the-Board Oppression – “Joe Biden’s presidency ends on January 20, 2025. There will likely be a media stampede to hallow his reign and trumpet his virtues. But Biden perpetually trampled his January 20, 2021, oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”” – James Bovard

No Big Rock Candy Mountain – “As most readers know, the problem with the American system is not the system itself, it’s the disregard our elected representatives have for that system, an almost hatred of it. Instead of a governmental system that takes care of all of the background administrative necessities, like enforcing the borders, enforcing tariffs on other nations, responding to threats against the interests of the republic as a whole, it has devolved into looting the public’s pockets for the interests of their donors, who, in gratification, return some of that loot to the representatives themselves, or other organizations that support these representatives while taking a cut.

Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune will be aligning in the sky.

A “planetary parade” that includes all 7 of the other planets in our solar system is a very rare event, and I have no idea why this isn’t making more news.” – Michael Snyder

Netanyahu Has Breached Evil – “Netanyahu claiming HAMAS backing out of peace deal is an outright lie – . The Israeli Cabinet ministers must agree to the deal and so far they have not. The Friday deadline has been postponed by Israel. The goal? More dead Palestinians. More destruction to their homes and country. And the world watches, trembling in fear should they raise their voices against a Monster and their fate be accounted for in a riddle of bullets. The only way Israel can survive at this juncture would be to have the entire government resign – their mentality is no different than the CIA. Netanyahu is notorious for breaching ceasefire agreements and cannot be trusted to hold to his ‘word’” – Helena Glass

When it Comes to Terrorism, Israel Beats Hamas – “Judge Napolitano asked me a pertinent question today: Why are the persons released by Hamas referred to as hostages and the persons released by Israel as prisoners? I think the answer is simple: Israel and its supporters in the Western media control the narrative. However, if you look at the facts covering the period between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2022, a radically different picture emerges about who is the real terrorist in Israel.” – Larry C.

The armed government workers treated her as if she was the suspect they were looking for rather than treating her as if she might be – a distinction that used to be important. They also presume she is some kind of threat – which would be funny were it not so pathetic.

Both fires now rank among the 10 most destructive in California history and the most costly in U.S. history. Fire crews have yet to fully contain the blazes.

How To Assimilate into American Citizenship and Culture – “Comrades: Assimilation is the most critical component of successful immigration policy. America is a country, not an economic zone. Unity is our strength, not diversity. America has always embraced immigrants who embrace America. We have a distinct history and culture that welcomes newcomers who assimilate into them.Limited merit-based legal immigration with full assimilation is the only acceptable form of immigration. Assimilation is the responsibility of the immigrants. If they don’t like American culture, then they should return to their original countries. Our current system incentivizes the exact opposite with migrants demanding American culture accommodate theirs. I say this as the American born son of immigrants. Today, I will break down the three types of assimilation, estimate how many post-1965 immigrants fit into each cohort, and propose the way forward.” – Yuri Bezmenov

But from his expressions, it’s as if this is all great news to Newsom because it gives him more time in the spotlight. He can’t seem to help himself but smile as the news media descend on Los Angeles, follow him around with cameras, let him bloviate, and make him the center of attention. The only time Newsom genuinely expressed anger and frustration was when responding to President-elect Trump’s criticism of his failed leadership during this crisis.” – I & I Editorial Board

The right doesn’t know what to make of him, but its members do share some of his concerns about the cartels. Senator Rubio’s confirmation hearings for secretary of state are the latest in the “el coco” episodes, especially all of the talk about cartels controlling territory south of the border. Rubio did not rule out the possibility of the incoming administration of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump designating Mexican drug trafficking organizations as terrorist groups while noting the potential complications that would come with said action.

What Will You Do When You Can’t Buy Or Sell Anything On The Internet Without Your UN-Mandated Digital Identity Chip? – Michael Snyder

The Fed’s mandate cannot be government excess. – “The two pillars that support the entire modern monetary system—that central banks have a clear mandate for price stability and that they are independent from governments—have crumbled over time. For years, people have questioned the independence of central banks. However, from 2020 onward, this independence has virtually vanished. A monetary authority that does not consider monetary aggregates in its policy is effectively abandoning price stability as a target.” – Daniel Lacalle

How one access their gold in that case or, even better, how could they directly trade it against other goods. I believe this is not as far-fetched a question as many might think” – Claudio Gras

Is Placing a Wager in a Casino an “Investment”? – ” Absolutely! An “investment” is now defined as a wager, often leveraged, at a gaming table in the casino. Anything that offers a gain is an “investment.” This is of course at odds with the classic understanding of “investing in new productive assets” that is core to classical capitalism in which the open market for goods, services, labor, risk and capital allocates capital to the highest and best use, i.e. the most profitable use, via the maximization of self-interest by all participants. Once upon a time, increasing productivity was the most profitable deployment of capital. Now financial trickery in the casino is the source of outlandishly large gains. ” – Charles Hugh Smith

IMAGES FOR THE DAY

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
“This could be Heaven or this could be Hell”
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain
“Please bring me my wine.”
He said, “We haven’t had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine.”
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
They livin’ it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling
The pink champagne on ice
And she said “We are all just prisoners here, of our own device”
And in the master’s chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can’t kill the beast

Last thing I remember
I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
“Relax,” said the night man
“We are programmed to receive
You can check-out any time you like
But you can never leave!”

(Hotel California by Glen Frey, Don Felder and Don Henley )

 

 

THE BIG PICTURE

Who are the “Elite”? – “People are always correcting me when I use the term “elite” to describe that group of “people” (or maybe lizards) who are calling the shots and who created the “agenda” and want the rest of us (useless eaters) either under their thumb or dead. The people who correct me claim these people (or lizards) are not “elite” which falsely implies “better,” “advanced,” or “special.” They don’t want to give these people (or lizards) any credit they do not deserve. I get it. The clear and indisputable official definition of “elite” is: “A group or class of persons considered to be superior to others because of their intelligence, social standing, or wealth.” But who is doing the “considering”—them, or us, the “non-elite”? However, it is an easy word to use to describe a group, just like “sheep” and “shrew” are easy to use. It’s not necessarily wholly accurate, but everyone knows what I am referring to when I use these terms.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP  – ANOTHER GOOD ONE FROM TODD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The “Monkey Wrench” Sabotage Of America Begs For An Authoritarian Response – “Let’s say you are a person or group with malicious intent and you have deliberately set out to destroy a country, or a society or a civilization. Do you try to do this with a single elaborately planned event? Probably not. Instead, you would coordinate and encourage thousands of smaller acts of sabotage that go largely unnoticed by the population until infrastructure breaks down and the country is in ruins. The concept is actually rather common – We see it in the covert instigation of civil unrest and color revolutions throughout history. The point is, the public doesn’t know they are under attack because all the incidents seem to be far apart and unrelated.” – Brandon Smith  – A MUST READ FROM BRANDON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doesn’t Fit MSM Narrative: Parts Of US Could Rival Coldest January Since 1977 – “This is another weather headline that doesn’t align with the narrative of ‘global warming’ and the imminent fiery death blamed on Taylor Swift’s private jet and cow farts pushed by radical far-left corporate media outlets and their billionaire ‘green’ sponsors only to advance a climate agenda rooted in profit-driven motives (also de-growth policies for the West).

The U.S. Military, False ‘Patriotism,’ and Recruiting Human Fodder for Killing: Let it Wither and Die – “There is so much going on simultaneously today, much of it very important, but most of it is also meant to be an abundance of intentional distraction. This is necessary so that the corrupt State can continue its drive toward global governance, democide, genocide, and mass division, while the general populace is so consumed by all these distractive measures that they have not the ability to separate truth from propaganda.As has been the case throughout history, one of the most dangerous distractions is the threat of war and conflict, which could obviously lead to active or ‘hot’ war. When this threat, along with many other threats, such as extreme weather manipulation leading to dangerous ‘unnatural’ disasters, economic upheaval, food and energy shortages, fake health threats, mass surveillance, and extreme debt and inflation, leads to societal chaos, most look to the government that actually caused all the chaos for relief. this is exactly what the ruling class desires and needs in order to quell any resistance by the people. ” – Gary D. Barnett

Trump Must Not Flunk His Litmus Test – “Trump’s litmus test awaits him on the Oval Office desk. The litmus test is the pardon for every one of the wrongly indicted and wrongly prosecuted January 6 Trump supporters–which means all of them–who attended the rally and were persecuted for doing so. If Trump fails to immediately issue a full and unconditional pardon to all, he will lose the support of MAGA Americans.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Bessent Enters the Meat Grinder – “Scott Bessent should have kept his mouth shut. He also should have kept his money in his pocket. The billionaire had a good thing going.  But that was before he threw his money and support behind Donald Trump’s election campaign. This week Bessent faced his confirmation hearing with the Senate Finance Committee. In the runup to the confirmation hearing Bessent found himself in Senator Elizabeth Warren’s cross hairs. Warren, a member of the Senate Finance Committee, is obligated to grill Bessent as part of his confirmation. That’s an important part of her job. Her questions, however, were designed to score political points… And somehow, with all these questions, Warren forgot to ask the most important question of all: How in the world will Bessent finance all the debt that’s coming due?” – MN Gordon

The Predictable Capitulation of Tulsi Gabbard – “Well, Tulsi Gabbard now says she is all for the unconstitutional law that permits the national security state to surveil Americans without obtaining legal warrants beforehand — a law Donald Trump’s nominee for director of national intelligence has previously and vigorously pledged to repeal. Gabbard’s in-your-face betrayal of public trust ought to focus our minds very sharply and very fast. Until her stunning volte-face last weekend, Gabbard had been single-mindedly steadfast in her opposition to many FISA provisions, notably but not only Section 702. A lot of people, I among them, put this among the most significant positions Gabbard, the former congresswoman, had taken on any policy question. Anyone who could not see this coming was not looking carefully enough. There are only three fates available for people who go to Washington with the forlorn intention of turning an imperium incapable of change in another direction: The imperial seat either eats you alive, it sends you home, or you leave of your own volition with your principles intact. Gabbard seemed to be one of these last for a time; now she is in the first category.” – Patrick Lawrence – EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED ON THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It doesn’t bode well that the next U.S. Secretary of State begins his top-flight position in government by telling blatant lies and fatuities.” – Strategic Culture Foundation

The surprisingly extensive list raised questions about US intentions and global strategy after the 9/11 attacks.The list of target countries seemed aimed at consolidating US political and military influence in strategically important regions rather than eliminating concrete threats. Twenty years after the 9/11 attacks, Clark’s words still resonate as a warning. ” – Chris MacIntosh

What an Interesting Time to Be Alive – “There is substantial evidence that a very real Christian revival is gaining energy. Older people who have perhaps lost their way are picking up dusty Bibles to see just what truths lie within.  What would have seemed quite unusual last decade is becoming almost commonplace: athletes, musicians, actors, and academics are bearing witness to Christ’s purposeful influence upon their lives. Even politicians who forgot Jesus’s name as they became worshipful converts to the “green” religion are slowly recovering from decades of amnesia and remembering the King of kings. In this wildfire of technological change, global conflict, and spiritual upheaval, the challenges all around us feel daunting. If you will allow me to offer minor encouragement, it is this: do not look away. Do not let the noise distract your thoughts. Do not let the madness drive you mad. Do not let potential dangers drown you in fear. Be resolute. Be purposeful. Be hopeful. Be brave. Of what are they afraid? They are afraid of you. They fear your voice, your private thoughts, and your desire to be free. You have untapped power that they see. What an interesting time to be alive.” – J.B.

Enjoy it while it lasts, however, because it’s about to get brutally cold. How cold? All the Lower 48 states and more than 80% of the population will see temperatures drop below freezing. “Looking at the wind chill, that adds a whole other layer to this,” Merwin said. “I mean, it will feel like negative 50 degrees in some spots across America come Monday morning.”” – Steven Yablonski  – UH, I THOUGHT WE WERE HAVING GLOBAL WARMING.

Joe Biden: An Assessment – “You’re aware, I’m sure, that a lot of people thought “Joe Biden” was being play-acted in the White House over his four years there by a series of look-alike actors. You saw those news items comparing “JB’s” earlobes to the old gaffer who showed up at the podium on a given day. Hmmmmmm. . . . I was not persuaded by any of that. “Joe Biden” has simply been impersonating himself — play-acting the role of “president.” The mystery is how he got there. You can expect very shortly, probably only a matter of weeks, to see a raft of news stories, soon-to-be big-money books, revealing the utter sustained chaos that churned behind the pathetic, half-animate figure pretending to be “chief executive” of the US government lo these dismal four years past. Whose idea was it, anyway, back in the spring of 2020, to retrieve this broken hack from the dumpster of discarded Democratic Party primary candidates and jam him into the role of nominee for president? You’d suspect Barack Obama, of course, Except Mr. Obama famously disdained his former veep.” – James Howard Kunstler

Trump, viewed objectively, is Teddy Roosevelt with nuclear weapons. Trump’s another huge personality, who sees the world as a chessboard on which to move his pieces around.

People who thought they were or would be “protected” discover they’re not. And just in the nick of time, too.

Of course, he is only concerned now that so many of them have lined up on Trump’s side of the fence. BlackRock is evenly distributing its contributions among both parties because Congress is narrowly divided between them and control of the House is expected to change hands after the November elections…. “They’re playing the game well….” Clearly they are not doing giving to both because they believe in one side or the other. It’s solely to curry favor with both sides so they always have plenty of plum politicians in their pockets. But Biden’s friends got plenty of buy-in.

Getting Russia Wrong: A Quarter Century of Putin – “It started out rather differently than we now sometimes imagine it. When Vladimir Putin took over the Russian presidency from Boris Yeltsin 25 years ago, on New Year’s Eve 1999, he was seen as a man with whom Washington could do business. Expectations for an era of heightened U.S.–Russian cooperation began to unravel in the mid-2000s. Indeed, future historians (should there be any) will likely come to see the period between 2007 and 2012 as crucial to explaining why U.S.–Russian relations went so terribly wrong. It was, however, the grisly rape-murder of Libyan strongman Muammar Gaddafi in October 2011 that did more than most to poison Putin’s view of Washington and the way it does business. Yet after Gaddafi’s very public execution and the American secretary of state’s tasteless celebration of it, Moscow felt that Washington welched on the deal. For Putin, then waiting in the wings as prime minister, this was the likely point of no return. If that was his, what was ours?” – James W. Carden

With Donald Trump set to return to the White House in less than a week, legacy media is falling over itself to predict economic disaster.Of course, they’ve been at this since Trump won. Just 4 days after the November election the Associated Press ran an article callled “Frustrated Americans await the economic changes they voted for with Trump.” The challenge for Trump is getting his pro-growth policies — tax cuts, spending cuts, regulatory cuts, and drill baby drill — in place fast enough to take the wind out of the sails of Biden’s stagflation. This was always going to be tricky, especially the spending cuts which reduce GDP in the short term but grow the economy ten-fold in the long-term.” – Peter St Onge

Homesteading Lessons I Learned from the Amish – “there’s one group in modern society that has chosen to live without electricity—the Amish. For centuries, they’ve preserved food, lit their homes, worked the land, and cooked their meals without relying on power. They use human labor, hand tools, wood stoves, and animal power to live comfortably. For those looking to thrive through long-term power outages, the Amish can teach us valuable lessons. ” – Ryan Dotson – I LINK A LOT OF AMISH ARTICLES BECAUSE YOU CAN LEARN A LOT FROM THEM ..

Directed Energy Weapons Burning Homes to Ash (VIDEO) – “Forensic Arborist Robert Brame shows his evidence. With over 40 years of experience, forensic arborist Robert Brom has been investigating the damage from these suspicious fires since Paradise. Based on his evidence, these fires are being caused by some sort of directed energy weapon. As many of us suspected, the trees in these recent forest fires are not burning as they should be. This is common for a horrific firestorm. This is what’s left. They all look like this. There’s nothing left. The twigs, the needles, the branches, even the trees will burn down sometimes to a low stump or even a hole in the ground. Not like this one.” – Greg Reese

There Is No King, Except King Jesus – Don’t Forget That, Because We Are In For A Lot More Trouble And A Lot More Lies And Deception In The Days Ahead – “Donald Trump is set to take office in less than a week. That’s one job I definitely wouldn’t want. Never, in the history of our nation, have we seen so much disaster, on so many levels and in every sector of society. I can’t think of any incoming president in history that ever faced what Trump is facing going into this. Let’s remember the people who are still suffering after Hurricane Helene devastated the Appalachian region in September.  California continues to burn. And if all this isn’t enough, Media, health and government officials are continuing their scare tactics using Bird Flu as the latest tool in their kit, to control human behavior and cause fear among the populace. No, I certainly wouldn’t want Trump’s job. Of course, if I were king, I could clean this whole mess up fast, and take care of a lot more while I’m at it. But that’s not how it works. There is no king, except King Jesus. Don’t forget that, because we’re in for a lot more trouble and a lot more lies and deception in the days ahead. Our King Jesus will remain on the throne, in charge, until He returns to truly and finally set all things right.” – Rob Pue   – GOOD READ FROM ROB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then there is the 2024 POTUS election. The all-powerful U.S. Intelligence Community and gargantuan Military Industrial Complex would never have let Trump into the Oval Office a second time unless he first agreed to do their bidding. Which really means that Trump’s primary purpose is to continue America’s never-ending political Kabuki theater for at least four more years ” – State of the Nation – STATE OF THE NATION BRINGS UP SOME GOOD POINTS HERE!!

COUP D’ÉTAT ACTIVATED: Deep State Preparing Overthrow Of Incoming Trump Administration – “Ever since the Intelligence Industrial Complex was unable to steal a second presidential election in a row, they have been desperately pivoting to their treasonous coup d’état contingency planning phase in order to prevent Trump from acceding to power. The entire illegitimate Federal government (and their unconstitutional agencies like the FBI, CIA, DoD, et al.) is waging a full spectrum war on We the People, and they are using the very monies that they steal via “income” taxes against America in order to maintain their power through social engineering, perpetual threat of State violence, and coups d’état.” – 2nd Smartest Guy in the World

Joe Biden Struggles to Stay Awake in Farewell Address to the Nation – “A farewell to remember… for all the wrong reasons. In a last-ditch attempt to rewrite history, Biden brazenly claimed credit for the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, ignoring Trump’s decisive warning to Hamas: “If they [hostages] are not back by the time I get into office, all hell will break out in the Middle East, and it will not be good for Hamas, and it will not be good, frankly, for anyone,” Trump warned.

Fiscal Redemption Requires a Republic, Not an Empire – “There is not a snowball’s chance in the hot place of containing America’s public debt disaster unless the Empire is brought home and the national security budget is slashed by $500 billion per year. Fortunately, the $500 billion savings from the national security budget is not only doable but fully warranted on the merits. The fact is, our present bloated Empire-serving Warfare State is not remotely necessary for homeland security and the proper foreign policy of a peaceful Republic.” – David Stockman

A Wolf in Soros Clothing in Trump’s Cabinet – “Conservatives in the MAGA movement reacted with horror when Joe Biden gave George Soros the Presidential Medal of Freedom. I shared their outrage. Yet, they have applauded President Trump’s nomination of the former top investor for George Soros to be the Secretary of the Treasury. Welcome to the world of conservative hypocrisy. Ignoring Bessent’s service to the hedge fund billionaire who almost single-handedly destroyed the criminal justice system, conservatives and Republicans are putting partisanship above principle and endorsing Bessent. It is mind-boggling.” – Cliff Kincaid

Politicians, celebrities, and Pharma gurus who got “vaccinated” live on television, who didn’t pass out or die on the spot, most likely got a saline injection, just like all these elitists in Europe.

OSHA is now terminating the rulemaking via this rule because the public health emergency is over and any ongoing risk by COVID-19 or other coronavirus hazards faced by healthcare workers would be better addressed at this time in a rulemaking addressing infectious diseases more broadly.

Seeing that video made me remember that in July of 2023 my buddy Tim Truth was looking into insecticides being sprayed in Florida and I had sent him an email containing some of my research. The email I sent was about my alarming discovery into just how massive the government-ran mosquito spraying program is. Shouldn’t dousing us with aerosolized chemicals be front page news?

“Convicted Felon” – “President-elect Trump can be faulted for many things but the fact that he is a “convicted felon” doesn’t bother me at all – because I was almost one myself and on the basis of similarly trumped-up “charges.” When I was about 20 years old and a sophomore in college, I was dumb enough (and who isn’t, at that age?) to grow pot plants in my dorm room. Fast forward to now and it is legal to grow them in the same state – Virginia – where I came within a hair’s breadth of being sent to prison for possibly several years for growing them back in the ’80s. So I feel for Trump – on this matter. He ended up being convicted on the 26 trumped-charges that were brought against him that came down to one of his book-keepers not exactly correctly categorizing the Shut Up (and go away) money that Trump paid to get Stormy Daniels do just that. So who was wronged? Put more directly, who was victimized by Trump’s paying Daniels a sum of his own money – for whatever reason? This question begs more interesting inquiries into the nature of “crime.” What is it, exactly? Well, it can be – and is – whatever the government says is “criminal.” ” – Eric Peters

No more automatic No-Fly Zones: DJI puts drone safety on you – “In a pivotal shift for drone operations, DJI, the world’s largest civilian drone manufacturer, has scrapped its proprietary geofencing system in favor of official Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) data across the United States. The update, effective January 13, 2025, changes the way drone operators navigate controlled airspace — placing full responsibility for flight safety and potential violations squarely on their shoulders. Under the new system, areas previously designated by DJI as Restricted Zones, often termed No-Fly Zones, are now categorized as Enhanced Warning Zones. This adjustment means operators will no longer face automatic flight restrictions but will receive alerts when entering sensitive areas such as airports and government facilities. ” – Ishveena Singh  – HOW CONVENIENT, JUST BEFORE TRUMP’S INAUGURATION!!!!

Truth or Trump? Peter Navarro is a Liar for Hire. – “Here’s the truth on tariffs v. the truth ala Trump. Navarro’s big, baldface lie right now is that tariffs do not cause inflation, and the proof of that, he claims, is that Trump’s tariffs during his last shift on duty caused no inflation.” – David Haggith

A case for Edward Snowden – “There was a time when the mere mention of Edward Snowden’s name stirred a visceral reaction in me. I thought he was a traitor who had betrayed his country by leaking classified information from the National Security Agency. Like many Americans, I was swept up in the tide of post-9/11 patriotism, a sentiment that, in hindsight, was both genuine and grossly manipulated. It wasn’t until I heard Snowden speak a year or two after he defected to Russia that I realized how I had been bamboozled by my government. ” – Susan Lawson

CIA Going Underground For US Terrorism – 202 – “This highlights the fact that the WEF may have an Agenda, but that Agenda requires global unity on their ideologies. And that global unity does not exist. Therefore, they can wreak havoc, but their basis for existence has been severed. Within the middle of this conundrum of oddity is Jeffrey Sachs: A Jewish man whose life is devoted to the UN Sustainable Development Mandate, WHO, World Bank, a PhD from Harvard, Director of Earth Institute – who is trolling the internet with a montage of statements implicating the Deep State, Sachs writes for Project Syndicate, funded by Gates, Soros, and various German and Danish Foundations. Soros has always been infamous for playing two hands – to cut his losses. Whether in war or in politics, this type of poker game has kept the Rockefellers, Rothschilds, and Soros monograms from withering. And it would appear, Sachs is their new front man.” – Helena Glass5

The Great Multipolar North American Reset – “The Technate Of America, or more accurately, the North American Union, is a proposed merger of USA, Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Greenland and Latin America. Donald Trump’s juvenile posts on social media are the attempt to introduce this plan on a kindergarten level to the dumbed down MAGA’s who will embrace this plan as a national expansionist project. The report continues to explain this initiative began in earnest on March 23, 2005, after a summit, held at President Bush’s ranch in Waco, TX. It was attended by President Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox, and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin. The three leaders announced the signing of an agreement to create common policies concerning various economic and security areas among the three nations. The agreement was soft-branded as The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, instead of the more accurate North American Union.” – 009

Ukraine Again Plunged Into Darkness After Huge Tit-For-Tat Aerial Strikes – “The last 24 hours have witnessed some of the biggest Russian and Ukrainian aerial exchanges of fire since the war’s start. The intensification comes just days ahead of Donald Trump entering the White House, soon after which he plans to pursue ceasefire negotiations between Moscow and Kiev.” – Tyler Durden

Sanctions – Trump’s Only Old/New Iran Policies – ” I therefore doubt that Trump wants to do anything ‘kinetic’ to Iran. Sanctions? – Yes! – ‘Maximum pressure’? – Yes! Well … so what? The Islamic Republic has been under sanctions since its very inception. They have hindered its growth but have never made it concede to whatever the U.S. demanded.

Animal Farm Politics: The Deep State Wins Again – “It cost the American taxpayer $24 million to find out what we knew all along: politics is corrupt. After four years of being subjected to special prosecutor Jack Smith’s dogged investigation into alleged election interference by Donald Trump, the Justice Department has concluded that Trump would have been convicted of breaking the law if only he hadn’t gotten re-elected. In other words, the Deep State wins again. The revelation here is not that Trump broke the law but the extent to which sitting presidents get a free pass when it comes to misconduct.

Biden Claims His Administration Has Avoided A “War Between Two Nuclear Powers” – Mac Slavo

Biden Brags About “Handing Over” A Stronger USA Than When He Took Office – “Joe Biden has been completely eviscerated online for a post on X claiming that the country is stronger now than when he took office four years ago. “While competitors are facing stiff headwinds, we have the wind at our back. This is what we’re handing over”. Nice use of the wind metaphor while winds are responsible for vast swathes of California burning.

Some have read these statements as Trump subtly and deviously setting Zelensky up, forcing pressure on him in order to retain leverage and control over him for when the time comes—I’m not so convinced just yet. ” – Simplicius

INFLATION RISES AGAIN! AS THE GLOBAL LIQUIDITY CRISIS WORSENS…. (BE READY FOR ANYTHING). (VIDEO) – Gregory Mannarino

Fartcoin . . . – “Did you know there is a crypto currency called . . . Fartcoin? And that it is “worth” $1.5 billion? Yes, really. In German, there is something kind of similar. It is called the Geldscheisser. If you understand German, you will know what that means. Money that just kind of appears and – somehow – has value. But at least the Geldscheisser’s coins are real. They drop out of you know where and into your hand. Fartcoins are vaporware – so to speak. Aren’t Bitcoins and other iterations of “crypto” currency the same? They are created out of nothing – presto! – and via acceptance of their “value” they come to have it. But how can there be value behind nothing? It is very unsettling to realize that the currency we use is – essentially – worthless. That whatever shaky value it possesses is entirely ephemeral because it is entirely dependent upon shifting perceptions of value and none of that is under our control.” – Eric Peters

If We Have a Strong Economy, Why Are Americans Struggling? – Peter Schiff

PPI Inflation Accelerates to +3.3%, Driven by “Core Services,” +4.0%, both the Worst Readings in Nearly 2 Years – “2024, the year of sharp acceleration. Services, accounting for two-thirds of PPI, are where inflation is festering and accelerating.” – Wolf Richter

Time to Put the Inflation Reduction Act on Ice -“America’s seniors won’t be fooled. The Biden Administration and its congressional allies passed the ironically named Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in 2022 without attracting a single Republican vote, touting the legislation as a win for bringing down drug costs for Medicare beneficiaries. What its backers didn’t say is that the law would cause seniors’ out-of-pocket Medicare costs to dramatically increase and irresponsibly limit drug access while siphoning Medicare off to other Democrat pet projects. Respondents were particularly outraged over the IRA’s changes to Medicare’s prescription drug coverage program (Part D). A staggering 83% expressed concern about rising premiums.” – Andy Mangione

THE BIG PICTURE

Climate Jeezus Taketh Away – “For those in the USA with an interest in collapsing the USA, the Los Angeles fire is the gift that will keep on giving, and George Soros hardly had to cough up a dime to make it happen. From the Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion angle, the fire got‘er done, cleansing nearly the entire PacPal population of snooty, rich, white “allies” of the oppressed and marginalized — who will now have LA to themselves. Chez Whitey is “closed for renovations,” and it might be twenty years before it can re-open, if ever. Probably never, if the California Coastal Commission has anything to say about it. Which gets you to the realization that we have barely begun to see the knock-on effects of this catastrophe. Those tens of thousands of the burnt-out will not be reporting to work anytime soon. They will have all they can do to find a roof over their heads while they hassle with FEMA officials, State of California bureaucrats, insurance company claims agents, and other “helpers.” The rebuilding quandaries have already been rehearsed in the news. ” – James Howard Kunstler

WEF Elites Unveil Plan To Use Carbon Controls As A Trojan Horse For Global DEI – “The underlying strength of economics is that (when approached honestly and with respect to the data) it can give us a relatively accurate measure of progress versus cost. If the rewards outweigh the costs after careful calculation then that economic endeavor will bear fruit. The ability to gauge production, innovation and prosperity with an unbiased eye is essential to true economics. The problem is that economics is not only a mathematical science, it is also, for lack of a better term, a social science. There is a contingent of financial elitists that seek to use their understanding of the psychological side of economics to socially engineer political outcomes.” – Brandon Smith

Wildfires and the Hoary Hoax of a Burning Planet – “Here they go again, blaming the wildfire catastrophe in Los Angeles on Climate Change when the actual culprits are the very politicians who never stop howling about what is a monumental hoax.” – David Stockman

FIREGEDDON 2025: LA Conflagration brazenly started by CIA Pyroterrorists and then spread by NWO Geoengineers who further fan the flames of these massive and devastating firestorms. – “It’s of paramount importance for the American people to understand that they have been under withering attack by an unrelenting campaign of weather warfare and pyroterrorism for decades.” – State of the Nation

WE’VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS!!! (VIDEO) – Jason A

Preliminary Logician’s Guide to the Fiery Terrorism – “If the State is constantly warning about Klimate Change and sending out warnings via text message and had a fire a few days before, is it not criminally malfeasant to not be prepared with water in fire hydrants? Absolutely. So on this point is where we circle back to the Kovid Shots and the intentionality of murder. I will point out that the coverage that you are seeing with regards to the wealthy neighborhoods being criminally torched appears to eclipse the larger damage of Hawaii which was if anything far more sinister in the Dolt Botching Shit actual MURDER.” – Sage Hana

Bill Gates’ Foundation Tax-Exempt Status Faces Court Showdown Amid Vaccine Profit Allegations – Broken Truth

‘Project Pandora’: DoD Experiments to Control Human Behavior with Microwave Radiation -“”Definitive research in this area will also require work with human subjects,” unclassified military document reads” – Jon Fleetwood

It is Only Going To Get Colder Brace Yourself – “This past Sunday we read that another massive winter storm is expected to pummel portions of the central and eastern United States this week, bringing with it heavy snow and strong winds that will likely complicate travel and knock out power. But never forget those who insist on manmade global warming have said many times that there would be no more snow. No ice in the Arctic, oceans flooding costal cities everywhere, and civilization destroyed from unendurable heat. This was all supposed to have happened already.” – Dr. Sircus

When Government Officials Start Talking About Faraday Cages And EMP Weaponry, Something Independent Media Has Warned Of For Decades, They Know Something We Don’t About What Is Coming – Susan Duclos

What is a War? – “The Battle of Brentwood: Fourth Attack on US Soil. It is so clear to me that events in Los Angeles constitute an attack that is part of a war. To recap: “unrestricted warfare” is a method of degrading the resources and morale of the enemy so thoroughly, bit by bit, that a shot need not be fired. Yes, the attack started with wildfires. But every year has wildfire season in California. What was different? Will LA be free again? Martial law, once imposed, is very difficult to lift. Is another US city next to be targeted in a hot war? I will stop there. Commentators have noted that Los Angeles is being planned as a “fifteen-minute” “smart” city. Allowing the burning down of its most idyllic real estate, is a useful move in that direction. Disempowering homeowners, even or especially the wealthiest and most influential, is a great way to kneecap the elite of a targeted country.” – Dr Naomi Wolf

NEWS

Dogs And Bones – ““A dog who will bring a bone will carry a bone” is an old-time expression that usually is meant to say that someone who will steal for you will steal from you. More generally it means that an immoral person on your side will eventually let you down or go over on the other side. The underlying assumption is that even in an adversarial environment, there are rules. The person who violates those rules can never be trusted, even when their rule breaking favors you. Again, the underlying reason for the way traitors have been treated by their own people as well as the enemies of their people is that someone who breaks trust for any reason cannot be trusted. Someone who deliberately breaks a sacred trust is especially suspicious. The same should apply to those who look like converts. Someone who was an implacable opponent of even the slightest pushback but is now “coming around” on things like immigration should be treated with a great deal of suspicion.” – The Z Man

Avoiding Trouble – “I have to admit, although it seems like I am a real freedom fighter screaming from the mountaintop, “Give me liberty, or give me death,” I am actually quite a wimp. I have never been a true rebel, flailing myself in front of the law with a “go ahead, try me” attitude. In fact, any time I have gotten close to authoritarian punishment I become paralyzed with fear. I have to say I don’t back down, I don’t squeal on my cohorts in order to be granted freedom, or anything truly wimpy like that, but the fear of punishment scares the piss out of me. At least it used to.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

Illegal Immigration Is Killing Small Towns – “Dementia Joe’s disastrous presidency can’t end soon enough. While he’s busy offering clemency to child rapists and murderers (and teasing the prospect of pardons for the lawfare tyrants who tormented his political adversaries these miserable last four years), his chief operating officer handling the Democrats’ suicidal open borders policy — Department of Homeland (in)Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas — is preoccupied with shielding a million more foreign nationals from future deportation.” – J.B. Shurk

The war behind the war: What World War III is really being fought over – “As usual, the official narrative, as put forth in the corporate media, about the West’s beef with Putin bears no resemblance to the truth about why the West cannot accept a Putin-led Russia. World War III, like all 21st century wars, is not being fought over ideologies. It’s being fought over energy and natural resources. Because he who controls the world’s resources will be free to impose whatever ideology he wants.” – Leo Hohmann

One World Trumpenstein vs. the Lesbian Firefighters – “MAGA (Make America Globalist Again.) Donald Trump’s most recent comments have perplexed everyone. And they contradict everything about the MAGA movement. Trump has suddenly shifted focus from mass deportations and fake news to annexing Greenland. Making Canada the 51th state. And renaming the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. He and his most loyal followers have begun singing the praises of a new North American Union. This was an idea supported by the dastardly Bill Clinton in the 1990s, and was basically an extension of the disastrous NAFTA trade deal, which of course Trump vehemently opposed.” – Donald Jeffries

Gavin Newsom is blowing it – “Gavin Newsom is out and about in the fire-ravaged parts of Los Angeles, and can’t even fake a picture of decisive crisis leadership. That’s because he keeps saying and doing surreal things that go against all common sense, a picture of wokedom melting down and twisting around with the inferno. There probably isn’t anything voters know best than their own homes. Newsom’s madman incompetence has gone through the roof.” – Monica Showalter

Governor Newsom Issues Executive Order to Cut His Own Red Tape – “No, this isn’t a Babylon Bee Headline. It’s from a Newsom post on X. ( NEW: “Just issued an Executive Order that will allow victims of the SoCal fires to not get caught up in bureaucratic red tape and quickly rebuild their homes. ” The state of California has numerous roadblocks and red tape on getting nearly anything done for environmental reasons. So Newsom has done nothing but pledge to cut his own red tape.” – Mish

There Is No Bottom for Blue California – “After a fire that never should have happened burned thousands of houses to the ground in a liberal enclave of Los Angeles through a combination of Democrat incompetence and more Democrat incompetence, you might ask yourself whether the deep blue people of Los Angeles are ever going to come to their senses and start electing people who aren’t a bunch of communist morons more concerned with Ghana junkets and lesbian representation at the fire department then with actually doing their jobs. Don’t bother asking. The answer is “No.” They’re never going to change. They can’t change. They’re going to keep on electing the same brand of Democrat mediocrities who got them into this mess, but they do have a plan. They’re going to blame the weather, insurance companies that don’t want to lose money, Donald Trump, and anything but themselves for the chaos they voted for.” – Kurt Schlichter

Treachery Never Ends Well – “One does not need to be a deep philosopher or a devoutly religious person to see that there is a natural, inevitable, link between greed and violence, between treachery and conflict. Every act of thievery, every act of treachery, every word violated and every promise broken is invariably an attack on someone.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Fire, Snow And A Storm Of Climate Nonsense – “Los Angeles is burning and the East Coast and Midwest have been walloped by cold and snow. Naturally, the global warming alarmists screech and honk about human reliance of fossil fuels. It a gross and irresponsible assumption. It never takes long for the foolish to break out and Vermont socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders didn’t disappoint… Unfortunately, he speaks for the many who are uninformed and naive, as well as those who want to use the man-made global warming narrative as a means to fundamentally change this country – and the West – into a political society run by leftists who, to borrow an applicable phrase, have difficulty resisting their authoritarian impulses.” – I & I Editorial Board  – AND THAT’S ALL IT IS, A SCAM TO CONTROL THE SHEEPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He said it would be such a gift to the world if the Jewish State ended Iran’s nuclear arms production, before they get a nuclear weapon. Trump doesn’t need to take Canada—these 2 share the same madness. Iran, without a nuclear arms program, already has the material for a nuke, and a sophisticated delivery means. Best guess is that they are capable of having nuclear arms in weeks. When Trump hints at laws to curb speech critical of Israel, he’s a 1st Amendment denier—on his tiresome bully pulpit. When he says tariffs, he means sanctions. 100% sanctions on nations not using the dollar. ” – neverhadaboss.com

California: aren’t oceans water? – “Water, water everywhere, and not a drop to pump. As the California wildfires continue to reduce substantial portions of the Los Angeles area to ash, Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass, LA’s possibly or possibly not fired lesbian Fire Chief and various other politicians are finger pointing and trying desperately to avoid questions while seeking someone, anyone to blame.

The Fool’s War: Useful Idiots at the Wheel of the Paddy Wagon – “First, Lloyd Austin called the Ukraine conflict “one of the greatest military success stories of our time”, a remarkable—nay, astounding—proclamation; This first statement gives one pause, and is cause for great wonder: Are US officials merely putting on, instructed by upper ‘guidance’ to characterize the war in such laudatory terms? Or—and this is the more frightening possibility—do they actually believe their flights of hyperbole? Austin’s statement is of course just part and parcel to a litany of similar decrees from top establishment figures, the John Kirbys and Blinkens, not to mention Biden himself. We’ve said long ago that as Ukraine nears defeat, and as the US scrapes the barrel for face-saving options, it will have no choice but to redraw the war as a ‘victory’ against a barbarous Putin intent on ‘subjugating all of Europe’.” – Simplicius

The Walls Close in on Zelensky – “In a meeting with allies in Germany this week, the embattled leader requested NATO troops on the ground in Ukraine. Nothing about this proposal is “practical”. Even if Zelensky is speaking about peacekeeping troops as part of a settlement, which isn’t clear, it’s still a fundamentally crazy idea. Simply put, it would bring us to the brink of nuclear war. Of course, this isn’t the first time Zelensky has suggested that NATO should send troops to fight and die in this war. But this latest instance is noteworthy because it comes just ahead of President Trump’s inauguration.” – Jim Rickards

Washington’s Attempts to Bully China Will Only Backfire – “China is rapidly overtaking the United States in a number of areas that threaten to undermine America’s position in the world. Naturally, US leaders and their billionaire backers are concerned about this and have taken steps to remedy the situation. Regrettably, none of these steps include an honest appraisal of the western economic model that allows the ‘privileged few’ to skim-off too much of their company’s profits leaving insufficient capital to reinvest in productive activity, critical infrastructure or societal improvement. Chinese policymakers have taken a different approach to this issue and the results speak for themselves.” – Mike Whitney

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

All the places I’ve been make it hard to begin
to enjoy life again on the inside,
but I mean to.
Take a walk around the block
and be glad that I’ve got me some time
to be in from the outside,
and inside with you.

I’m sitting on the corner feeling glad.
Got no money coming in but I can’t be sad.
That was the best cup of coffee I ever had.
And I won’t worry about a thing
because we’ve got it made,
here on the inside, outside so far away.

And we’ll laugh and we’ll sing
get someone to bring our friends here
for tea in the evening —
Old Jeffrey makes three.
Take a walk in the park,
does the wind in the dark
sound like music to you?
Well I’m thinking it does to me.

Can you cook, can you sew —
well, I don’t want to know.
That is not what you need on the inside,
to make the time go.

Counting lambs, counting sheep
we will fall into sleep
and we awake to a new day of living
and loving you so.

( Inside by Ian Anderson )
