Nothing New Under The Sun 2016

THE BIG PICTURE 

The Times, They Aren’t Changin’ – “Thoughts on Sunday’s New York Times’ half-assed Covid mea culpa op-ed. Imagine my surprise when, Sunday, I read a New York Times editorial admitting that “We Were Badly Misled” about Covid as it was happening. Yes, we were badly misled. Serious shit, right? I want to paint murals on the sides of their corporate offices, reminding them in big letters that like many others, I was forced into a position of being stuck between required travel and getting vaccinated at one point. Even worse, I was accosted by power hungry hipsters who demanded a vaccination card just for ordering a beer. And I got off easy. Others lost bank accounts, jobs and sadly, family members.” – Quoth the Raven

Black community in Ohio forms safety program after neo-Nazi rally (VIDEO) – “In the majority Black village of Lincoln Heights, Ohio civilians have formed an armed patrol group to protect their neighborhood after neo-Nazis carrying rifles and shouting racial slurs held a rally there last month. NBC News’ Morgan Radford reports.” – MSNBC

Alleged Nazis (Likely Feds) Stage Tiny Protest, Armed Black Militias Now Patrol – “As we’ve seen over and over, all it takes for the corporate media to incite a race war is a less than a dozen (probably fed) Nazis to show up on an overpass and wave a few Swastikas around. You’ll notice that, in the above framing by NBC, the “news” story begins with a human-interest profile of a person with a name, Jay, who is fighting hard to keep his neighborhood safe. Now consider this: would NBC ever, in a thousand years, begin a story about armed white militias patrolling their streets to keep them safe from black criminals in such a sympathetic manner? Such is the subtle manipulation that goes into these propaganda productions.” – Ben Bartee

“Hate Speech” Cannot Be Prohibited in a Democracy The term is an authoritarian tool for censorship, and that’s all it is” – Ohio Barbarian

Covid Redux: The Bird Flu Scare – “Instead of directly targeting humans, our food is the focus for the creation and mandating of ineffective vaccines — it stands to devastate our food supply, and cause mass starvation.” – Janet Levy

Why Did Government Shut Down Cellphone Radiation Studies? Email Trail Leads to More Questions Than Answers – Suzanne Burdick, Ph.D.

Here Come the Chaos Monkeys – “The Chaos Monkeys are so masterful at distracting and confusing us with sensory-digital overload, we’re not even aware of the game until the extortion begins. Here’s how the extortion works in the larger world: you buy an accounting software program, and over the years you dutifully upgrade it from time to time, storing all your financial data in the program. Enter the Chaos Monkeys: you can no longer buy the software, now you must rent it via a monthly subscription. Wait–did you just grab my data, and are extorting me to pay you to get it back? Yes.” – Charles Hugh Smith – KIND OF LIKE MICROSOFT DOES WITH MICROSOFT 365. I ORIGINALLY HAD IT ON MY COMPUTER THEN IT WENT TO HAVING TO PAY FOR IT YEARLY WITH PRICE INCREASES THAT ARE OUTRAGEOUS WHENEVER THEY FEEL LIKE IT!!!

NEWS

Welcome to FAFO-Land – “It’s as simple as this: the orgy of judicial lawfare put on by blob-adjacent Democratic Party seditionists trying to make the USA ungovernable is looking to get swatted. Hubris is a harsh mistress, but Nemesis is more like the gods’ re-po man, and he comes to the door with attitude, meaning bidness. Blob judges will get flushed out of their humid conclaves naked and find themselves, astoundingly, in the FO zone of FAFO-land. Do you think AG Bondi is playing tiddlywinks in Main Justice or that Kash Patel is just sitting there buffing his nails over at 935 Pennsylvania Avenue NW? Where did we get the idea that federal judges can just act with impunity, jerking around the public interest like some show-off with a yoyo?” – James Howard Kunstler

What Are the Left’s Solutions for the Problems They Created? – “The U.S. faces mounting trade deficits, immigration crises, and endless foreign wars, while critics of Trump’s policies offer no viable alternatives to Biden-era failures.” – Victor Davis Hanson

The Death of Free Speech in America? – “You can thank Israel and its many friends” – Philip Giraldi

The Zionists Within – “Trump seems to have thought this through during his four years playing golf at Mar-a–Lago. He returned to the White House two months ago this week with a full-dress plan to get done what he couldn’t first time around. And now look. Donald Trump the subverted, we have to conclude, was better than Donald Trump the empowered. Who’d’a thunk it?  With the Israelis Trump is not floundering. He is picking up just where his genocidal predecessor left off and so getting done exactly what he wants. The two of them are just the same as they face “the Jewish state.” Just as Joe Biden was, Trump is acutely careful never to put a foot wrong with the Zionists. ” – Patrick Lawrence

What did Joe know? An interesting wedge issue on presidential power. Trump came out this morning claiming that the 11th hour Biden pardons are illegitimate because they were signed by autopen and “Joe did not know.” I suspect this will be very difficult, possibly impossible to prove. proving that “Joe did not know” is basically proving a negative. If he says he did, this isn’t going anywhere. of course, If he says he didn’t know and Joe wants to take a shot at BO and his team, well, that’s another matter, and therein lies the rub.” – El Gato Malo

Pentagon Says Operations ‘Continue’ Overnight Against Yemen’s Houthis – “When you’ve lost the hawkish FoxCon pundit Ann Coulter… “Why did we have to do this? Is it part of our constitution that we must be bombing someone at all times?”” – Tyler Durden

Trump Bombs Yemen – “Trump said the US will use “lethal force until we have achieved our objective.” What is OUR objective? Who is this OUR?” – Sage Hana

Trump Is Bombing Yemen For Israel – “Trump is bombing Yemen for Israel, rushing weapons to Israel despite its flagrant ceasefire violations, and rolling out authoritarian measure after authoritarian measure to stop Americans from criticizing Israel. Because that’s what you get when you vote for America First.” – Caitlin Johnstone  – MORE MIGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now Is The Perfect Time For Russia To Work Towards Restoring South Yemeni Independence – “Russia’s interests in investing the diplomatic resources that mediation would require are to raise its global prestige, reinforce its excellent ties with all six stakeholders while strengthening ties with the US, and securing investment opportunities and likely also a naval base in a revived South Yemen.” – Andrew Korybko

Trump’s Fake Ukraine “Peace Deal” Is a Betrayal of Russia and a Setup for More War – Dr. Sircus

A Businessman and a Brilliant Strategist – “Anybody with a connection to the world of business or the armed forces recognizes in Trump certain qualities that successful CEOs and battle-hardened commanders often possess: a penchant for plain speaking, a no-nonsense attitude, and a steady focus on the larger mission. Don’t get me wrong; President Trump might just be the funniest, most entertaining man to ever hold the office. But he uses humor strategically. With a single rhetorical jab, he lifts friends up and destroys enemies. His humor is particularly effective because he pulls no punches. He paints and demolishes targets in quick succession. Before his opponents regain their balance, Trump has already changed directions and readied another attack.” – J.B. Shurk

Heating up: Newsom, Pritzker, Buttigieg make early moves in 2028 presidential race – “It may seen a long way away, but the initial moves in the 2028 White House race have begun – Paul Steinhauser – TALK ABOUT THE THREE STOOGES, COULD THE CHOICES GET ANY WORSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Biden admitted that America had been planning to blitz-nuke The Kremlin. – “Here is from the transcript by MSNBC, of their broadcast on 17 January 2025 of President Joe Biden’s final interview (which was the prior day, by the Democrat Lawrence O’Donnell, on his “The Last Word” show) — it included one of the decrepit Biden’s ever-increasing number of unintentional slip-ups saying the truth that he never had intentionally revealed during his prior and less-decrepit period (and, of course, his interviewer, this Democrat, O’Donnell, simply ignored what the President had just said, instead of diving into it so as to perhaps get more details about this crucially important matter):” – Eric Zuesse

Boots-on-Ground Theater Conceals Raging Impotence of Toothless Euro-Prats – “We’re starting to glimpse the contours of the European deep state plan to stop Russia from taking over Ukraine. Macron and Starmer are now desperate to push through the ‘boots-on-ground’ initiative in a deliberately obfuscating way. They are haranguing about it like it’s something meant to occur only at such time that an agreement on the conflict’s full cessation is reached. But in reality, it increasingly looks like they mean to jam through the troops at the earliest opportune moment, in order to ‘checkmate’ Russia from being able to advance any further.” – Simplicius

Zelensky’s Chaos: Behind the Fog of the Ukraine War – “The Ukraine War is an engineered conflict, that allows BlackRock and the WEF to privatize Ukraine and turn it into a post-national corporate state.” – 009

Futures Fall After Bessent Says “Not Worried” By Slide In US Stocks – Tyler Durden

The Endlessness of a Temporary Tax – “Governments regularly claim that they favour tax reform. When this claim has been repeated so many times that virtually no one believes them anymore, they announce a tax reform, to show that they really mean it. They then reshuffle the existing taxes to give the appearance that taxation will actually be lowered. When it becomes apparent that the reform is a sham, they often pull a rabbit out of a hat in the form of a “temporary” tax, that’s pre-legislated to end sometime in the future. Sounds promising. So, let’s have a look at one such temporary tax and see how things worked out.” – Jeff Thomas

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

The Realities Of Prepping Alone- “I’ve said it before and I will say it again, prepping is often romanticized. You see it in movies, books, and even social media—groups of people banding together, building fortresses, and surviving the apocalypse as a team. But what if you’re going it alone? The truth is, prepping solo is a whole different ballgame.” – Bob Rodgers

When This Happens, The Economic Collapse Will Begin – “The warning signs are there, but most people ignore them until it’s too late. Rising debt levels, stock market instability, and growing social unrest are all flashing red signals that an economic meltdown is looming closer than we’d like to think. We will break down these key indicators so you can recognize the danger and take action before it’s too late.” – Matt

‘If You Can’t Touch It, You Don’t Own it (SQ): Precious Metals Are A Must When Prepping For Disaster, Especially One of A Financial Nature (Part 1) – “When I read about prepping for disaster, especially of a financial nature, one of the suggestions is to invest in precious metals. The metals themselves, not certificates. Gold and silver are mentioned as the best metals to collect. Whether you collect these metals through having jewelry, coinage, or simply the unrefined metal ore seems to not matter as long as it is something you have “in hand”. A Brief history of Gold as currency” – S.E. Gunn PhD
