THE BIG PICTURE

The Orange Worry – “Joe Biden assumed the office – legally if not necessarily legitimately. Almost immediately, the message is projected that anyone who wants to come across the border can and should come across the border. From wherever. It doesn’t matter. No problemo! Just come. Millions apparently have. This predictably created a politically potent issue for the now-former president to rally his supporters around. Trump’s successful re-election effort was largely propelled by angst and anger about not just the deliberate importation of those millions but also the preferential status enjoyed by those millions. Well, he won. With a clear mandate this time (electoral and popular vote) to do something about the “out of control” border and the millions of random people from God-knows-where and God-only-knows where they are now. What will he do about it? How will he do it? There is only one realistic way they can be identified and located. It is by identifying and locating us. How else to separate out American citizens who are in this country legally and foreigners who are here illegally?” – Eric Peters – WAS THIS THE PLAN TO GET A NATIONAL ID ALL ALONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EXPOSED! Deep Space, Satellite Phones, 5G Internet & Other Crazy Conspiracies: THE ILLUSION OF EVERYTHING – “As shocking as it may sound, and it will indeed sound shocking the first several times you hear it, there is literally zero evidence of a satellite in outer space. There’s no evidence of anything in outer space; it is all CGI, green screens and art. They say the best place to hide a secret is right out in the open – isn’t it amazing that although they repeatedly tell us all of these images are just art, we still choose to believe otherwise:” – Agent131711 – ANOTHER DIVE BY AGENT 131711 AND IT’S A GOOD ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PREP Act Empowers Gov’t to ‘Administer’ Drugs, Biological Products, Devices to Citizens in Secret – “HHS Secretary “is not required to disclose any matter” that is “to be kept secret in the interests of national defense or foreign policy.”” – Jon Fleetwood

It Impugns The Conscience – “More than 1,000 Gazan children had one or both legs amputated.” -The Underdog – I THINK IT’S PRETTY SAFE TO SAY THIS IS AN ATROCITY. AND IF YOU CAN’T SEE IT, WELL, WHAT CAN I SAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tricks of the Trade – “Hurricanes are the poster child of climate politics. A pseudoscientific cottage industry has sprung up that associates just about every notable hurricane with climate change. Today, I take a look at recent efforts to attribute hurricanes to greenhouse gas emissions. Let’s take a closer look at what lies behind these press releases. Like the hurricane spinning the wrong way in Al Gore’s movie poster, the attribution tricks sit out in plain sight, visible to anyone willing to have a look.” – Roger Pielke Jr.

Are You’re Not Paying Attention—Or Beyond Hope? – “If you think I will refrain from criticizing Trump and his Neocons—you’re sadly mistaken. We find ourselves in the plot of Star Wars, where the Empire is the Empire and we are in the Millennium Falcon, mostly made of spare parts. On the screen, we win, but in real life, as the song says: it ain’t necessarily so. And it might not change with Trump. I had some good things to say about Trump. He uses bluster to shake up the room, and then goes after what he really wants. That works—sometimes. Trump can’t admit to being taken-in by SARS/flu/Fauci/Birx, or targeting Soleimani was a dumb-ass move. Taking responsibility for destroying Syria is just too much, but some things Trump does, I appreciate” – neverhadaboss.com

The Future’s Uncertain and the End Is Always Near – “Are you not entertained by the never-ending bullshit, propaganda, false flags, threats, and revelations produced by those running the show and regurgitated by their captured media mouthpiece whores? The absolute tsunami of misinformation and political theatrics spewing over the airwaves is surely designed to distract the public from something more sinister, diabolical, and self-serving to the Deep State renegades who still wield the real power in this world. Nothing is as it seems. If ever there was a time to keep your hands upon the wheel and eyes upon the road, it is now. They have turned up the volume of misinformation and fear mongering to eleven.” – Jim Quinn

Year in review: A tectonic shift has only just begun – “As we’re approaching the final hours of 2024, it is a good time to take a step back and remember what this year taught us. History might not repeat itself, but it does rhyme, as the saying goes, and the past is always the best teacher to prepare us for the future. For many of our fellow humans, 2024 was yet another turbulent year, filled with terrible strife, war, death, pain and indescribable suffering. The two ongoing war fronts and the images that reach us all directly and live through our phones, have proven that war is indeed the health of the State. There is no other explanation as to why these conflicts are still raging and why the human death toll is still climbing to this day. Over the last year, humanity has once again been defeated by special interests, politicians, lobbyists and all kinds of other misanthropes. ” – Claudio Grass

10 Dead, 30 Injured After ‘Terrorist’ Plows Truck Into Crowd On Bourbon Street – “NOLA reports the suspected terrorist is 42-year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar. ( US Citizen from Texas ) The source said Jabbar was carrying an ISIS flag in the truck, and authorities have said he was dressed in military gear.” – Tyler Durden – SUPPOSEDLY HE WAS IN THE U.S. ARMY. WAS IT REAL OR A FALSE FLAG. CARRYING AN ISIS FLAG AND DRESSED IN MILITARY GEAR IS ALMOST TOO OBVIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Lost Joe Biden Gives Absolutely Worthless Statement on New Orleans Terrorist Attack (VIDEO) – Cristina Laila

Pennsylvania Amish build a dozen homes for hurricane victims in just two days, outpacing Newsom’s promise from almost two years ago – “In March of 2023 Gavin Newsom promised to deliver 1200 tiny homes at a cost of 625,000 taxpayer dollars apiece. To date, not a single tiny home has been delivered. By comparison, the Amish just built 12 tiny homes in less than 48 hours at a cost of $25,000 apiece.” – Olivia Murray

What FEMA Has Done in North Carolina Is a Total Disgrace – “This story is a microcosm of the ineptitude exhibited by the Biden administration. As for FEMA, well, their record has been spotty in the past, but it’s compounded when you have Mr. Magoo helming the ship” – Matt Vespa

An immodest proposal for inner cities now that a new President is about to be sworn in – “Free food for the poor. Grown by the poor people themselves. In every inner city in America. They call these urban farms. There’s only one catch. Who believes they own inner cities? Who wants to keep those residents down? Who already inhabits those neighborhoods? GANGS.  Don’t believe for a minute they want growth and prosperity and new hope for the people who live there. Success would mean the sale of DRUGS would go begging. Therefore, the gangs have to be dealt with. What label would you put on armed groups selling killer drugs and, as self-protection, destroying the efforts of poor people to feed themselves—in hundreds of US cities? There’s an easy and accurate answer: TERRORISTS. That’s the name that would be applied. Officially. With no compromise.” – Jon Rappoport

Sheffield Is A Shithole (VIDEO) – “It’s changed since I grew up there. The dystopian experiment being inflicted on UK cities is manifestly undeniable.” – Paul Joseph Watson

Biden’s Regrets, and Ours – “Joe Biden regrets dropping out of the race, and wishes he had four more years. But as Lew Rockwell reminds us, it isn’t more or less of Biden’s dereliction of duty, defective morality, or diminished mental state that’s the problem. The problem is the Executive Branch itself. It is an imperial ruler with its imperial class presiding over its ever-expanding empire.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

To succeed, Trump needs to remember who put him there – “He must focus on delivering for workers – not on Mar-a-Lago palace intrigue. People voted for change and will be greatly disappointed if he cannot deliver. To succeed, Trump will need to draw on the strengths he exhibited during the campaign, continue to be a more self-controlled and focussed version of himself, and ignore the crankier elements of his entourage. His first term was marked by self-generated chaos and administration infighting. As before, his political opponents will now be targeting him. But perhaps his bigger challenge will be to stop being his own worst enemy. ” – Sean Collins

Donald Trump: Man of peace or man of war? 2025 will provide answers – “Trump was elected on a platform of closing the border and bringing sanity back to US foreign policy but the early signs indicate Americans who voted for a man of peace could end up with a man of war.” – Leo Hohmann

“The Year of Chaos” Underperforms – “I think, if any year is chaotic, it will be the one ahead where Trump plans to blow the government apart, Left and Right, to the fullest extent he can. To be clear, I’m for many of his goals and blowing some parts up (not literally, of course. You have to make that clear these days or the censors will shut you down); but you can’t dismantle the Deep State and not cause a lot of chaos because the Deep State fights back. I am, however, also not all that convinced that Team Trump is looking fully up to the job, but it is better suited than the last team he assembled. That was the biggest mess of a conglomerated swamp creature I ever saw, so there was never any way he was going to drain the swamp back then. It drained him. This time he’s assembled a mix of swamp busters and seasoned swamp creatures, led by billionaires everywhere you look, so I’m certain it will, above all else, be a good year for billionaires. But when is it not?” – David Haggith

Trump Should Terminate The Bilateral Security Agreement Between The US & Ukraine – “He should do this on his first day in office if he’s serious about implementing his foreign policy agenda.” – Andrew Korybko

Recession Watch: Broke Consumers, Tanking Houses – “Government will be the last man standing” – John Rubino

The Real Inflation Number – “What’s happening with inflation? Allegedly, it’s back down in the 3.5% range, give or take; and to do it right one must give and take quite a bit. That is, again, the government number jockeys shamelessly cook the books, as we see from reviewing a site like ShadowStats.com. If the government used the same methodology today as it used back in, say, 1980, we’d see a much higher rate of inflation. Instead of the advertised 3.5%, it might be more like 12%.” – Byron King

Carlos Slim Invested $1B In American Oil & Gas Companies In 2024 – “Carlos Slim, Latin America’s richest man, boosted his stakes in American energy companies in the current year as the world’s leading tycoons continue betting on fossil fuels.” – Alex Kimani

I Hereby Resolve… Gold and Silver in 2025 – “As we launch into 2025, perhaps you should resolve to get some gold and silver! If you had made that resolution last year, you’d probably be pretty pleased with yourself – assuming you followed through and kept your self-pronounced commitment. If you bought gold on January 1, 2024, you paid around $2,074 per ounce. At today’s price, you gained about 26 percent over the year. And if you bought silver at $23.99, you earned a 21.3 percent return.  Not too shabby. In fact, gold and silver will likely rank among the best-performing assets of 2024.” – Mike Maharrey

 

 

 

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Is the US on the Brink of Collapse – “It’s a question that many of us are afraid to ask but can’t ignore any longer. When we think of collapse, many of us picture empty grocery store shelves, long gas lines, or electricity blackouts. The reality is, we’re already seeing signs of resource shortages that point toward a much larger crisis. Water, for instance, is becoming a scarce resource in many parts of the country. In these uncertain times, being prepared for whatever comes next isn’t just a good idea; it’s essential. ” – Matt

5 Ways to Re-Purpose Your Produce Bags – “The next time you are at the store, pay close attention to how many products come in mesh bags: Potatoes, onions, garlic, apples, oranges, popsicles and many more. They come in a variety of sizes ranging from extra small to extra large. Here are a few ways to reuse them and simplify your life at the same time.” – Tess Pennington

How to do a soil analysis before starting a garden – “To grow a garden, whether indoors or outdoors, you essentially need three things besides seeds or seedlings: soil, water, and sunlight. While water and sunlight are easy to source, good-quality soil is often a challenge for many gardeners. Soil is more than just dirt—it must have specific qualities for your plants to grow and thrive. Whether you’re an experienced gardener looking to deepen your knowledge of your garden soil or a newcomer curious about a freshly prepared plot, there are several ways to test your soil.” – Bob Rodgers – LINKED A SIMILAR ARTICLE BY RHONDA OWEN ON 6/10/24. BETWEEN THE INFORMATION IN BOTH ARTICLES YOU SHOULD HAVE MOST OF EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW. WILL COME IN HANDY IN THE SPRING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How To Transport Water From Source To Home In An Emergency – Ken Jorgustin

Collards: Our Winter Staple – “One of the aspects of living where we do I find most appealing is the long gardening season. It is possible to keep produce of one type or another growing in the garden year-round, (though this is not the same as saying we have harvestable vegetables for the full year). Kale is the most resilient thus far since a single fall planting can carry into the following June if there is not an early heat spell. Cabbage and broccoli are each suitable for both late winter and late summer plantings and typically yield well while requiring minimal effort.” – A.F.
