THE BIG PICTURE

Importing low trust and the decline of high-trust society. – “So, here’s an interesting chart: It shows what many have long lamented: the erosion of high trust society in the US. The chart stops in 2010. One can only imagine the depths to which it has plummeted today.” – El Gato Malo

The Woke Deception: How Modern “Social Justice” Functions as Psychological Warfare – “The Systematic Weakening of America Through Coordinated Psy-Ops Before an Engineered Civil War. What if “woke” ideology – despite its claims of fighting oppression – is actually designed to fragment society into warring tribes that are easier to control and manipulate? The evidence suggests that contemporary “woke” culture operates as a textbook divide-and-conquer strategy,” – The Wise Wolf and Lily-Rose Dawson

Is the U.S. Getting Hot… or Not? – “When averages rise while hot days don’t, the story gets… complicated.” – Dr. Matthew Wielicki

CDC data is a mess not a measurement – “Models strike again” – Dr Clare Craig

The US government has a “compelling interest” to shorten your life expectancy. Vaccination is “the least restrictive” way to further that interest. – Sasha Latypova

Trump Admin to Pull COVID-19 Shot from U.S. Market ‘Within Months,’ Says MAHA Chief Medical Advisor – “HHS Secretary Kennedy colleague Dr. Aseem Malhotra tells The Daily Beast the move is imminent.” – Jon Fleetwood  – BELIEVE IT, WHEN I SEE IT.

They’re coming for your kids and grandkids: OpenAI signs deal with leading toymaker Mattel – “If you thought AI poses a threat to people’s jobs, professional statuses and social lives, you’d be right. But it’s not just adults being affected. Kids are in the crosshairs of the technocrats’ latest mind-manipulating tool. And what better way to do that than to incorporate AI into kids’ toys? Well, it’s already being done.” – Leo Hohmann

Ghislaine ‘Splainin’ – “Did you happen to bother reading the transcript of Ghislaine Maxwell’s interview? It’s tough sledding at times.. altogether the confab reveals that just about everything you think you know about the scandal might not be so, and her story is full of shocking surprises, assuming you can believe her. For instance, Ms. Maxwell had exactly one night of actual sex with Jeffrey Epstein back in the 1990s, a few months after they met, and that was it. He had problems with straight-up sex, she says. Huh. . .? There goes one pillar of the public perception of the scandal: that Ghislaine Maxwell was a sort of nymphomaniac consort of Mr. Epstein, while supposedly acting as chief procurer of his masseuse “victims” and that the whole decades-long saga was a cavalcade of threesomes and orgies. She even claims at one point of being “a prude.” So, what was her role in JE’s complicated life? Basically, a property manager, she says.” – James Howard Kunstler

Canadians Have Always Hated Americans – “To all of my Canadian readers, please accept my apologies if you find this essay offensive. Please take part of it as “tongue in cheek” humour, and remember, I am a Canadian citizen as well! I love you all! Canadians aren’t haters; they’re just masters of the humblebrag, perched on a pedestal partly built by American grit. Maybe it’s time for a cross-border Molson/Bud Light summit: acknowledge the mutual wins, drop the superiority schtick, and remember that without each other, we’d both be a little less “great.” After all, who else is going to keep the continent safe from invading polar bears—or worse, bad trade deals? Let’s thaw this frost before it turns into another ice age.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

The Media Is (Still) Lying To You – “Unmasking the Narrative. Facts Crush Media’s Fake Stories” – Peter Nayland Kust

Euronews Is Euro-Trash: Lessons in Media Deception Tactics – ““News” outlet (loosely defined) Euronews, the mouthpiece of Brussels, recently “covered” (loosely defined) the vicious and unprovoked murder of a 17-year-old Dutch girl at the hands of a so-called asylum seeker living in government migrant housing who had previously raped another Dutch girl on August 15. In so doing, the outlet didn’t mention any of those pertinent details. Instead, the migrant rapist was simply termed a “22-year-old man.”” – Ben Bartee

What Made the Democratic Party Go Crazy? – “The Democrat Party abandoned the middle class for elites and identity politics—trading broad appeal for globalism, DEI dogma, and political self-destruction.” – Victor Davis Hanson

US Foreign Policy is War for More War – “There was hope among Trump watchers that, as President, he would not seek war. He would put America first, bring troops home, and strengthen the US through economic liberty and even – wait for it – sound money! The most cynical never believed it; Trump haters in both parties didn’t want it, but there is no doubt he lied to the MAGA crowd over and over again. American First got Donald “war hero” Trump, as he claps for that king of war heroes, Bibi Netanyahu. Part of the problem is academic. The US is an imperial nation, late and deep in its financial, military and demographic collapse. But to admit this is to get ahead of ourselves as Americans.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

Trump Prepares to Attack Latin America (VIDEO) – “With Trump sending 3 warships to Latin America (near Venezuela) after setting a $50 million bounty on Maduro, and talking of invading Mexico due to the ‘drug war,’ it is clear this is just more pretext for US imperialism.” – Makia Freeman

Trump’s Plan to Invade Venezuela and Abduct “Narcoterrorist” Maduro. – “Bondi accused Maduro of heading up one of the world’s most notorious drug trafficking operations. She said his alleged involvement in the drug trade is a threat to the national security of the United States. While there is little compelling evidence of Maduro’s involvement in the drug trade, it is known that the Venezuelan National Guard and military began to buy, store, transfer and distribute cocaine in the mid-2000s. Prior to direct involvement, the Venezuelan military extorted narcos in the transfer of drug shipments. Venezuela might not have become involved in the drug trade if not for the multi-billion-dollar Plan Colombia security program signed with the United States. Billed as an anti-narcotics effort, the real purpose of the plan was to eradicate guerrilla movements aligned against corporate petroleum and mining activities. Colombia Plan maintained a close relationship with death squads and organized paramilitary forces,” – Kurt Nimmo  – INTERESTING READ FROM KURT!!!

Do you really believe a Ukrainian on a yacht took out Nord Stream? – “A man has been arrested in Italy and will stand trial in Germany, but the pipeline mystery remains unresolved. It is the first arrest in a case widely viewed as the largest instance of industrial sabotage in Europe since World War II. Probes were launched by Denmark, Sweden and Germany, but the first two were ended with no suspects identified. Russia, the majority owner of the pipeline, was not allowed to participate in any of the official probes and has consistently been denied access to the evidence.” – RT

Israel’s Man-Made Atrocity Famine in Gaza – “If nothing is done, conditions will continue to deteriorate and the famine will spread.” – Daniel Larison

Syria and Iraq, ISIS Creation Timeline: 1992 – 2015 – “People keep asking me for evidence of US links to the creation and sustainment of ISIS in Syria and Iraq. Hope this helps” – Vanessa Beeley

Desperate Euro-Elites Suggest Boots-on-Ground Even “Before Ceasefire” – “Europe has been again retreading the ‘security guarantees’ and ‘boots-on-ground’ red herrings, but this is old, beaten laundry with too much mileage on it to come to any real use anymore. That doesn’t stop them from trying, though—Le Monde, for instance, proposes a novel idea: that European troops should be injected into Ukraine before the signing of a ceasefire not after, in order to “pressure” Putin into that very truce:” – Simplicius

Has He Gone Completely Insane? Zelensky Announces That There Is Not Going To Be Peace – “Apparently Zelensky is convinced that there will not be a permanent state of peace until all of Donetsk, all of Luhansk and all of Crimea belong to his government. Needless to say, the Russians will never hand all of Donetsk, all of Luhansk and all of Crimea over to Ukraine willingly, and so they will need to be taken by force. Since the Ukrainians cannot do this alone, they will be seeking to enlist the help of others, and that is what should deeply alarm all of us.” – Michael Snyder

ECONOMIC NEWS

Fed Can’t Bail This Out – It’s a $200 Trillion Debt Bomb Warns (VIDEO) with Gerald Celente – “Celente warns the Fed is running out of options and predicts the rise of a central bank digital currency: “They’re going to come out with another currency to do away with the dollar. That’s my belief.” Celente also dives into gold, markets, and geopolitical risks, explaining why lower interest rates fuel inflation and why gold prices continue to rise: “The lower interest rates go, the deeper the dollar falls. The deeper the dollar falls, the higher gold prices go.” ” – ITM TRADING, INC.

Trump Delivers Elizabeth Warren’s and Bernie Sanders’ Vision of the Chips Act – “Trump demanded an equity stake in Intel. Guess who else wanted that. Next up, a tax on patents.” – Mish  – WHERE DOES IT END. WHEN THE GOVERNMENT STARTS OWNING COMPANIES OR PARTS OF COMPANIES, ISN’T THAT ABOUT THE SAME AS COMMUNISM!!!

Big Fuss in the Media about the Government’s 10% Stake in Intel, but just Giving this Cash to Intel under the CHIPS Act Was Fine? – “The media are tangled up in their own underwear about this deal, while totally onboard with sacrificing taxpayers on the altar of Biden’s policies.” – Wolf Richter

Why Americans Should Fear Washington in Intel’s Boardroom – “Turning Intel into a government partner undermines competition and national prosperity.” – Vance Ginn

Excessive Money Supply Growth Creates Secular Stagnation. – “The government must understand that higher spending is not going to drive stronger growth. When a 4.5% money supply growth delivers a 2.5% real GDP estimated growth, it is showing that the economy needs more, and a 6.8% increase delivered just 2% with a $2 trillion increase of government spending between 2021 and 2024; it shows that more money only bloats government and creates persistent inflation.” – Daniel Lacalle

America’s Debt-Fueled Economy Is Cracking at the Seams – “Nearly 1 in 10 Americans can’t afford minimum credit card payments. With household debt surging past $18 trillion, the foundation of our economy – consumer spending – looks increasingly shaky. Here’s what happens when borrowing breaks down…” – Peter Reagan

Insider Selling Reveals Fallacy Of Buyback Theory – “To benefit from a corporate buyback, an individual must sell their shares to the company. Conversely, those holding on to their shares are not compensated. The only benefit shareholders may receive is a proportional increase in their ownership percentage, which is meaningless if the company’s intrinsic value isn’t increasing.” – Lance Roberts

 

 

 

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

How To Build An Emergency Communication Plan – “When people think about prepping, they usually picture food storage, water barrels, or maybe an arsenal stacked in the closet. But here’s the thing, when a crisis hits, communication is usually the first thing to fail.” – Bob Rodgers

What are These Tiny Brown Bugs? Good or Bad? – “You’re working in your garden and see something crawling on the leaves. You look closer and see tiny brown bugs moving on the leaves. You may even see ants with the tiny bugs. These tiny brown bugs are aphids. They can harm plants and should be treated as soon as possible because they can transmit viruses and other illnesses to plants.” – Daniel

Everyday Carry in Appalachia — My No-Nonsense EDC(VIDEO) – “If you watch some of these videos, you’ll see most of these creators claiming they carry a huge list of gear. They will come out and they will tell you they carry this, this, this, this, this, this, and this, and this. And I’m thinking, how can you carry that on your person all the time, regardless of the weather, regardless of where you’re going to? And the simple fact of the matter is in my opinion they can’t they can’t carry all the stuff they claim to be carrying. It should be kept simple. Most of the stuff they talk about that they carry in their everyday carry kit should be carried in a vehicle and not actually on the person. To me that’s there’s a difference.” – The View from Appalachia / M.D. Creekmore
