THE BIG PICTURE

For those keeping track, tomorrow will be 6 weeks since Dan started the DMSO nebulizing treatments. He is very active now, running errands, participating in social activities, cleaning his own house, LIVING LIFE & not slowing down. It is such a blessing to see him literally come back. – Rebecca Cunningham on X  – WAS CURIOUS AS TO HOW THIS WAS TURNING OUT. GOOD TO SEE A FOLLOW UP ON THIS STORY. SEE THE LINK BY A MIDWESTERN DOCTOR ON 07/06/25 AS WELL FOR THE BACKGROUND. IF YOU HAVE COPD WATCH AND READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Globalists Are Rebranding Their “Woke Capitalism” Agenda After Crushing Setbacks – “People who carefully track the machinations of globalist institutions might have noticed a disturbing atmosphere of silence since the 2024 elections. specifically the dramatic shift that has taken place since the pandemic when organizations like the World Economic Forum ripped the mask off completely and admitted their true authoritarian intentions. By the end of 2021, most of the world was under maniacal technocratic control and the globalists seemed to think they had western civilization by the balls.” – Brandon Smith

Medicine goes AI – “The digital doctor is in. Prediction: 5 years from now if you tell your friends “I went to a human doctor to diagnose my illness,” They will literally ask you “Why, could you not find a Ouija board?”” – El Gato Malo

Click here to prove you exist – “It seems like such a small thing: click a button to ‘verify’ your humanity. Click! Done. No big deal, right? Most folks have never stopped to ask fundamental questions around what underpins that very unnecessary and very annoying roadblock — whether it’s ticking a box, sliding a puzzle piece, or entering a cryptic code produced in a drunken electronic stupor. What exactly am I doing? Who am I “verifying” myself to? What does this portend — a future where I must prove my identity, my humanity, not just to access a website but to participate in life?” – Collapse Life

American Academy of Pediatrics Demands All Infants Force-Vaccinated for Covid – “The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is demanding that Covid mRNA shots be administered to all infants as young as six months old, even against the wishes of parents. Many are warning that the move puts corporate interests over children’s health. The group, which is heavily funded by mRNA “vaccine” manufacturers Pfizer and Moderna, issued the call in updated recommendations published on Tuesday.” – Frank Bergman – ONCE AGAIN, ONE MUST ASK, WHERE’S MAHA ON THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Walmart on Its Radioactive Shrimp: ‘The Health and Safety of Our Customers Is Always a Top Priority’ – “The question too few ever ask: what makes Always Low Prices, Always™ Walmart’s knock-off brand Great Value™ such a great alleged value? For one thing, because they offshore their industrial shrimp production to Third World vendors with no safety standards who literally employ child slaves (more on that coming up).” – Ben Bartee

Illinois Mandates “Mental Health” Testing of ALL Children – “Children’s minds are now officially in the crosshairs of one of the most out-of-control state governments in America. Under a controversial new measure just signed into law by far-left Governor J.B. Pritzker, government schools in Illinois will begin mandatory “mental health” testing of all students each year, starting in 3rd grade. Critics are sounding the alarm.” – By Alex Newman  – LINKED ABOUT THIS AS WELL ON 08/10/25!!!!!

Meet Trump’s CDC Director: Susan Monarez – “A closer look at the CDC director’s history and connections reveal that her government career is closely linked to the intersections of re-branded eugenics, the militarization of healthcare and the expansion of the bio-surveillance state.” – Max Jones

The Cholesterol Conspiracy: How Big Pharma’s $200 Billion Lie Is Killing Us – “The Multi-Billion Dollar Deception That Turned Our Most Vital Molecule Into Public Enemy #1” – Sayer Ji

 

 

 

NEWS

Today’s News Slants So Much, the Words Fall off the Page – “It’s all Left or all Right with no room left right in the middle.” – David Haggith

Another Federal War on Free Speech – “On March 25, six masked federal agents seized a Turkish graduate student on the streets of Somerville, Massachusetts. Rumeysa Ozturk, who was wearing a hijab, was a Fulbright scholar working on a doctorate at Tufts University. Ozturk didn’t know what was happening when she was first grabbed and later said she thought she might be killed. Almost a year before she was seized on the streets near Boston, Ozturk had coauthored an op-ed piece for the Tufts student newspaper criticizing the university’s refusal to divest from Israel despite “credible accusations of … indiscriminate slaughter of Palestinian civilians and plausible genocide.” That was all it took to nullify the formal student visa that the U.S. government had previously approved for Ozturk. Trump administration officials talked as if alleged protesting was sufficient to banish any foreigner they targeted. But the First Amendment doesn’t specify that it only applies to people that the White House approves. ” – James Bovard

Military Preparing Attacks on Mexican Cartels – “Secret orders target cartels as the new terrorists” – Ken Klippenstein

An Interesting Historical Omission – “Almost everyone knows that Germany invaded Poland in September of 1939 and on account of that, the British and French declared war on Germany. Thus began World War II, as every schoolboy knows. How many schoolboys know that the Soviet Union also invaded Poland shortly after the Germans did? How many who do know that have ever asked how come Britain and France did not declare war on Soviet Russia? Very few. No doubt because they have not been encouraged to ask such impolite questions by the government schools, which impart a redacted and politically correct version of “history.”” – Eric Peters

Reflections from the Heart of the Empire: Exhibitions of Farce – “Great news, America! Our national debt has now surpassed $37 TRILLION, thanks to Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. We’re the bestest, most indebted country in the history of the world!” – Ohio Barbarian

IF YOU READ NOTHING ELSE TODAY, READ THIS…. – “CNBC-U.S. President Donald Trump has spent at least $100 million on bonds since taking office, according to official filings. Now… Bonds move inversely to interest rates. So if rates go down, bond prices go up. As President, he’s calling for rate cuts. If the Fed follows, (whether out of political pressure, or coordinated narrative,), he personally profits MASSIVELY.” – Gregory Mannarino

“First True Taste Of Fall”: Might Need A Jacket Next Week – Tyler Durden

Trump’s Biggest Lie: ‘I’ve Settled Six Wars in Six Months’ – “Conman President Donald Trump knows his first half year plus now as second term president has been sheer disaster. His constant back and forth flip flops, interspersed with his trademark belligerent threats have the rest of the world largely trying to stay clear of his grandiose sized ego and ever-changing demands. Trade-wise, his tariff aggression has most other nations trying to avoid him and his self-undoing tariffs, resolving to take their business elsewhere to actively court new partners for trade and commerce. Trump is being forced to realize he and the US are not the center of the world but just another dying paper tiger ex-empire going down in flames. Trump and the US are forced to face the humbling reality that they need the rest of the world more than it needs them.” – Joachim Hagopian

Lavrov outlines terms for Putin-Zelensky meeting – “The Ukrainian leader is pushing for talks with the Russian president to remain in the spotlight, the foreign minister has said” – RT

Even after the Headmaster’s humiliation, Europe insists that Peace is War – “The Empire of Chaos is at war, hybrid and otherwise, not only against BRICS, but against Eurasia integration. It took just one pic to imprint on posterity the utter humiliation of the EUrotrash political elites in Year 2025: the Coalition of the Twats, in the Oval Office, lining up like a bunch of frightened schoolkids, severely reprimanded by His Master’s Voice – the Headmaster cum Circus Ringmaster.” – Pepe Escobar

More Ghastly Decisions by the Trump Administration? – “Children wounded in Gaza blocked from medical treatment in US” – Philip Giraldi

Is Jolani’s Reign Nearing Completion, or Will Regional War Keep Him in Power? – “The ‘New Syria’ Al Qaeda regime faces international condemnation for the campaigns of ethnic cleansing that have devastated Syria since December 2024.” – Vanessa Beeley and UK Column

78 Percent Of HR Leaders In The U.S. Say That Their Companies Are Conducting “Serial Layoffs”, And We Are Being Warned That A Major Cost Of Living Shock Is Coming – Michael Snyder

Cracker Barrel Faces “Bud Light” Moment – “Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Felss Masino is steering straight into a “Bud Light” moment – learning nothing in recent years – by abandoning the restaurant chain’s half-century-old logo that symbolized nostalgia for rural Americana and the “old country store” experience. Instead, the company has embraced the woke rebranding of many other household names. ” – Tyler Durden

Federal Debt Surges in July as Trump’s Spending Spree Continues – “During a July 20 interview, on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick made an unbelievable claim. He bragged that the US was collecting close to $30 billion a month in tariffs. He then went on to say: “You got to remember — this is going to pay off our deficit.” No one who pays attention to federal fiscal policy actually believed this statement. And, if there was any doubt about the dubious claim, July’s Treasury report, released on Tuesday, makes it clear just how wrong Lutnick is. According to the July report, federal deficits are a long way from being paid off by new taxes on imports. Instead, federal deficits are getting bigger as Trump’s spending spree shows no signs of abating.” – Ryan McMaken

THE BIG PICTURE

Boomers, Zoomers, Doom and Gloomers – “Zoomers and even most Boomers cannot comprehend that the destruction of the American dream and middle classes was a planned economic demolition. American manufacturing was exported to Asia and Mexico. In violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, monopolies were permitted in every sector, from telecommunications to death “prevention” management, to banking, agriculture, and technology. Millions of foreigners were imported legally and illegally to drive wages down or keep them stagnant. Zoomers are misguided in blaming Boomers for their current economic struggles. The grifter class of criminal controllers shifted the nation from one of industry and grit and localized communities provisioning food and necessities, to one of deeply centralized financialization by the forces of parasitic speculation. Everything was fueled by grotesque deficit spending that benefited special interests, accumulating a ticking time bomb of debt that would one day be dropped at the feet of future generations. That “one day” is rapidly approaching.” – The Good Citizen   – GOOD READ FROM THE CITIZEN!!!

Better pigs this time – “The anniversary of Animal Farm. 100 million died as “communism, one five year plan away from a worker’s utopia since 1917” marched them into woodchipper after woodchipper and the endless oppression of life in crumbling apartment blocks to support a parasite dacha class that you cannot join and that shortly you’ll be unable to criticize. But no one ever sees this.” – El Gato Malo

The U.S. Government Is Waging Psychological War on Its Citizens: Inside the Deep State’s PsyOps Machine – “From viral memes to military-grade influence operations, the government is waging a full-spectrum psychological war—not against foreign enemies but against its own citizens. The goal? Compliance. Control. Conformity. The battlefield is no longer physical—it is psychological—and the American people are the targets. From AI-manipulated narratives and National Guard psyops to loyalty scorecards for businesses, the Deep State’s ” – John & Nisha Whitehead

Gates Foundation: “Digital IDs are an effective tool against poverty” – “It looks like we can add another to the growing mountain of problems that digital IDs are going to solve for all of us. We already know that digital IDs will help counter populism, and illegal immigration, and crime, and benefit fraud, and terrorism, and pandemics. But they’ll help tackle poverty now as well. ” – Kit Knightly  – A CONTROL MECHANISM ON STEROIDS

This Is What Technocracy Actually Looks Like – “This is technocracy. AI is not a benefit to society nor will it be helpful to humanity. It will be used as part of the overall control grid over humanity. Starving humans is just one tiny aspect of what technocracy looks like.” – Karen Schumacher

The Machine that Is Eating the Earth – “AI data centers and their supercomputers are consuming rural America. AI is taking over small communities in ways that are a more proximate threat than the possibility of rogue AIs banding together to use control over our technical infrastructure to control us people. A more practical concern is rising up in the corn fields and other vast undeveloped lands of America. AI is overwhelming our already overused electrical grid.” – David Haggith

‘Baby Open Brains’: Gates-Funded, Masonic Institute-Backed Project Releases Infant MRI Scans for Gov’t AI Neuro Surveillance – Jon Fleetwood

Vaccines that spread themselves from person to person? – “Just your standard nightmare. Nothing to worry about. Let the experts decide what’s best for our health. They know what they’re doing, right? From what I see so far, the cover story is animals. Uh-huh. Right. Sure.” – Jon Rappoport

“They’re Taking Everything!” (This Is Disturbing…) (VIDEO) – “This, ladies and gentlemen, is why you or we cannot afford nice homes anymore. If you or someone you know is looking to buy a home at the moment, or maybe you’re dreaming of buying one in the future, you need to understand this about the housing market. Now, you are no longer competing against Mr. Jones down the road, Mr. and Mrs. Smith. That is the old world that no longer exists. The people you’re up against now are actually not people at all. They are faceless entities.” – Neil McCoy-Ward”

Cottage Industry Pops Up to Service Soaring Government-Assisted Suicide Demand – “Now that one in twenty deaths in Canada is the result of government-assisted suicide, euphemistically referred to by the acronym MAiD, doctors have gotten busy putting on conferences for themselves to share notes and promote their business.” – Ben Bartee

 

 

 

NEWS

A Hint of Peace—In Economic Calamity – “Trump needs to give something to his base for his refusal to carry-out his agreement to release the Epstein Files—an indication of something Trump does not want to be accountable for. Even if that’s the case, whatever ends the war—comes as a blessing. If Trump, under any scenario, wants peace, he has to disassociate with Netanyahu, who hopefully Trump regards as another in his long list of losers. Trump could force Bibi—and a scripturally- gifted, greater Israel—to back off. Awaiting Trump’s next move, what about AI and the state of the economy. Americans don’t understand how a few $100 in silver dimes might mean the difference between life and death. They get it that when the dollar falls, all that’s left is barter, but they don’t reflect on what’s left to barter with. AI will do nothing to help with that.” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

The Middle East: The Decisive Battleground of WW3 – “World War 3 is already well underway, though most fail to recognize it. The conflict is playing out just below the threshold of direct military conflict. Nevertheless, it is a high-stakes struggle among the world’s major powers to determine the future world order, just as in previous world wars. This is World War 3. It’s happening right now and unfolding rapidly. In fact, World War 3 has been ongoing for over a decade.” – Nick Giambruno

Why the Drug War? – “: The entire drug-war apparatus and the massive militarized drug-war police state exist for the purpose of preventing Americans from possessing and ingesting unapproved substances that they wish to possess and ingest. I consider that amazing. Let’s divide American drug consumers into two broad categories: those who are addicted to drugs and those who simply use them because it makes them feel good. In either case, why is the federal government so hell-bent on preventing all these people from consuming what they want to consume?” – Jacob G. Hornberger – JACOB HAS SOME VERY GOOD POINTS IN THIS ARTICLE!!!!!!!!

Putin, Trump, and the Elusive “Peace” – “Trump’s Alaska summit with Putin yielded no ceasefire, but it revealed the contours of a possible peace—where diplomacy, exhaustion, and hard limits define the battlefield’s end.” – Victor Davis Hanson

Ursula von der Leyen told to leave room during multilateral talks at Trump’s Washington summit – not a “leader” nor an “elected head of state” – “To begin with, there is no singular European people or unified European national interest on behalf of which von der Leyen could ever speak. She has no meaningful budget, she commands no army and she has no political legitimacy.” – eugyppius

The Illusion of Choice: How America’s Two-Party System Betrayed Democracy – “From Citizens to Cash Cows” – The Wise Wolf

Trump’s lost cause: Why Ukraine and Europe will never make peace with Russia – “If a deal is struck, it will not lead to a lasting peace because Europe’s leaders have it in their heads that their continued existence as a global power depends on Russia’s strategic defeat.” – Leo Hohmann

The truth about the Epstein saga and why puerile partisan perspectives perpetually miss the point – “Epstein wasn’t a Democrat scandal or a Republican scandal. He was an intelligence scandal.” – Kayla Carman

Does The Security Deal of Ukraine Include Child Trafficking? – “The Security Deal of the Ukraine peace plan is apparently, front and center with Trump directing The Movie. The EU leaders have seemingly been told to be bobble-dolls as they dance with broad smiles on their otherwise vacant sensibilities. Zelenskky looks like he bought his ‘jacket’ off the rack at Walmart and many moons older than his years. And inspite of the Pandemic, Olena Zelenskka has opened a new foundation as of 2022. It is an Open Secret that Ukraine was and maintains its status as the source for kidnapped children and their transport to the EU aboard the Grain Train – these children are bought by bidders online no questions asked, no followup.” – Helena Glass

4,000 Troops and 4,500,000 Militiamen: What to Know About the U.S.-Venezuela Standof – “The U.S. and Venezuela appear to be heading towards a standoff with neither country indicating a willingness to back down. The Venezuelan government on Monday mobilized more than four million militia troops seemingly in response to reports of U.S. naval movements in the region.” – Miranda Jeyaretnam

Trump’s Fed Playbook: Find Dirt, Make Noise – “Not excusing Lisa Cook’s mortgage fraud, if proven, but it sure looks to me Trump and Pulte are trying to muscle out Jay Powell by any means necessary.” – Quoth the Raven

Socialism or Bust? Mamdani Could Shape His Party’s Future – “A lot at stake for New Yorkers and the Democratic Party as the socialist closes in on the mayor’s office.” – Graham J Noble

Bed, Bath & Beyond flees California, tells the world exactly why – “California has created one of the most overregulated, expensive, and risky environments for businesses in America. It’s a system that makes it harder to employ people, harder to keep doors open, and harder to deliver value to customers. The result? Higher taxes, higher fees, higher wages that many businesses simply cannot sustain, and endless regulations that strangle growth. Even when the state announces a budget surplus, it’s built on the backs of ordinary citizens who are paying too much and businesses who are squeezed until they break.” – Monica Showalter  – THANK YOU, “WANNA BE PRESIDENT”, GAVIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE BIG PICTURE

From Fiat Everything to Real Everything – “Why Old-World Values Are the Ultimate Modern Rebellion. Here’s the uncomfortable reality: we’re all creatures of the system we’re critiquing. Every convenience that makes modern life possible also makes modern control inevitable. The same technologies that enable global communication enable global surveillance. The same platforms that democratize information also weaponize attention. The same systems that promise freedom deliver sophisticated bondage.” – Joshua Stylman

Land of the Deadliest Sins – “Hello Sodom and Gomorrah. Christianity has always emphasized the severity of the Seven Deadly Sins. The Catholic Church defined them as pride, greed, envy, wrath, gluttony, lust, and sloth. Looking around at America 2.0, it’s hard to escape the conclusion that Deadly Sinning comes as naturally to us as betrayal or dishonesty, which apparently don’t qualify. Pride can be seen in the scrunched up duckfaces of every young girl, as she posts selfie after selfie, like all her fellow narcissist friends. It can be seen in the face of the bully, after he’s sucker punched someone. You know, as in the Knockout Game. But now we have a Pride Month. And it’s devoted to something no decent person should ever be proud of. But there is no pride in say, being a faithful husband or wife for a half century. Or just being a good Samaritan.” – Donald Jeffries  – EXCELLENT READ FROM DONALD!!!

Your Favorite Mega-Church Preacher Just Bought His Third Ferrari – With Money You Thought Was Going to Charity – “You Cannot Serve Both God and Money. The names are familiar to anyone who has channel-surfed past religious programming: And perhaps most prominently today, Joel Osteen, whose Lakewood Church in Houston draws 50,000 attendees weekly while he lives in a $10.5 million mansion. Osteen preaches that God wants his followers to be wealthy, healthy, and successful—they just need to have enough faith and, crucially, give generously to his ministry. These prosperity preachers have fundamentally inverted Christ’s teachings. Jesus repeatedly warned about the spiritual dangers of wealth.” – Lily-Rose Dawson

Killing the Messengers of the Covid Crimes – “From research and from my personal experience of seeing changes in my wife in her moving away from dementia by receiving Ivermectin, I am coming to a significant conclusion. It seems that humanity is being blessed with the discovery of a new wonder drug that should be cheap and readily available throughout the world. Certainly Dr. William Makis, who is now under siege here in Alberta by Big Pharma’s lawyer/cops, has been demonstrating scientifically that Ivermectin is very effective in pushing back and even eliminating Stage 4 Turbo Cancer.” – Anthony James Hall  – LONG BUT GOOD ARTICLE!!!

Is the U.S. Gov’t Weaponizing Cell Towers and Targeting Civilians with Directed Energy? (VIDEO) – “Attorney Ana Toledo exposes illegal surveillance programs and Havana Syndrome attacks on Americans.” – Jon Fleetwood

The Devil Wore a Lab Coat – “One man’s grave is another man’s paycheck. In Canada, mine closures accelerated in the 1990s and 2000s as part of the UN’s Agenda 21/Agenda 2030 “sustainability” framework. Workers were told it was about saving the planet. But the timing was no accident. As jobs disappeared, Big Pharma moved in. In once-productive towns, paychecks were replaced by prescriptions. Men who once dug coal to power nations were now swallowing pills to numb their despair. To coin the old phrase by Alexander Graham Bell, the Scottish-born inventor, “when one door closes another door opens”…The coal mines closed. The pharma mines opened.” – Connie Shields

How To Seize Land with Affordable Housing and Green Energy – “Communists are weaponizing eminent domain to steal property and redistribute it to their cronies – a closer look at dirty tricks in Cranbury NJ, Pacific Palisades CA, and Michigan. Comrades: “Affordable housing” and “green energy” are Communist double-speak for land seizure.” – Yuri Bezmenov

‘Don’t be a sucker’ — 1947 had it figured out – “Back in 1947, the US War Department released a short film called Don’t Be a Sucker. It’s hokey, dated, and full of men in hats explaining things in ‘Very Serious Voices.’ But the message still cuts through: demagogues succeed by dividing us. Is it propaganda? Of course. It came out of the War Department — you can practically smell the patriotic varnish. Cue the flag, the stern voiceover, the promise that Americans are too clever to ever fall for dictatorship like those silly Europeans.” – Collapse Life.

10 Rest Stops on the Way to Olduvai Cliff – “Life before industrial collapse. What’s the Olduvai Cliff? The term comes from the Olduvai Theory, which predicts that industrial civilization will have a short lifespan. After peaking in energy use and complexity, society will face a steep and sudden decline (the “cliff”) leading to a permanent return to pre-industrial conditions. If you’re reading this, you probably think collapse is coming. Maybe soon, maybe later. Here are ten things worth doing before we reach the cliff.” – Sarah Connor  – GOOD POST FROM SARAH!!!

A Nobel For The Donald, Part 1 – “Donald Trump doesn’t really deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. Not after his unprovoked bombing of a country (Iran) that is no military threat whatsoever to the American Homeland. Not after continuing to green-light and arm Israel’s genocidal madness on Gaza and elsewhere. And not, most especially, after fronting for an even bigger defense budget than the bloated $1.0 trillion per year monstrosity that the UniParty already had in place.” – David Stockman

Colonizers – “The champions of democracy are at it again. Now, it’s Hungary that must be brought to account for its determination to pursue an independent political system. The EU is conspiring now to overthrow the government of Victor Orban in Hungary, because he has defied them on their goal of monochromatic population replacement. It’s not good to be Hungarian, you see, it must be made to more closely reflect the desire of the international organizations to manipulate the color of the population, the religion of the population, of all of its client states. It’s Orban’s crime that he values his own people and his religion over the power of the EU.” – T.L. Davis

Creative Chaos: Inside the CIA’s Covert War to Topple the Syrian Government – “For over a decade, the dominant Western narrative on the Syrian War has been simple: a peaceful uprising turned into a brutal civil war because of Bashar al-Assad’s ruthless crackdown on his own people. For those who still believe that US intervention is a force for good in the world,  Syria was not a “humanitarian” war. It was a calculated, brutal regime change operation that destroyed a nation for the sake of geopolitical gain.” – Joseph Solis-Mullen

ECONOMIC NEWS

Are They Lying to Us About Inflation? – “The government lies about almost literally everything, except perhaps what time it is – and probably it would lie about that, too, if it served the government’s purposes. So why do most of us believe that inflation – the waning buying power of the money we’re forced to use by the government – is what it says it is? Here’s what I know and so can attest to: Eating at McDonald’s has become a kind of near-luxury dining experience that the parents of today’s teens are having a time paying for. How many 17-year-olds can afford a $40 bag of fast food? How many can afford a car, at all? How many adults can afford their first house? If the stats are correct – about the average of first-time home buyers being well into middle aged – then the answer is not many. Yes, they are lying to us, again.” – Eric Peters

THE BIG PICTURE

Whitney Webb EXPOSES Clinton, Trump, Epstein & More! (VIDEO) – Sabby Sabs  – AS USUAL, A GOOD INFORMATIVE LISTEN FROM WHITNEY!!!!

Shall We Forget the Epstein Business? – “It appears that the Epstein Business is slipping past the event horizon of the memory hole. It is not just the Epstein Business, either. It is the memory-holing of the Epstein Business by the people who are likely either participants in whatever sordidness was going on or aiding and abetting the shoving-underthe-rug of the sordidness – for reasons all too easy and awful to guess. Instead, the diversion we are presented with is a pretend-play investigation of Adam “shifty” Schiff and the ex-president whose name is Barry, not “Barack.” The latter becoming Blackish when it was perceived (correctly) as being politically advantageous to be Blackish. Just not too much (per Joe Biden). Nothing, it goes without saying, is going to happen to any of them – beyond sturm-und-drang Tweets that people who smoke Hopium believe means something is going to happen.” – Eric Peters

It is what it is – “Canadians, for the most part, have chosen socialism. I’m not sure that the majority understand what that means and will mean but it is what it is.” – Sylvia Shawcross

RESISTANCE 👉BOYCOTT + PROTEST👈 a personal passion, and a lifelong commitment – “All my adult life (almost 60 years now) I have boycotted pharmaceuticals, chemicals in food, animal cruelty and top-down governance wherever they rear their ugly heads. I have simultaneously protested on the front lines and, for the recent decade, via the medium of writing.” – Frances Leader

Carbon Butter – You Will Eat Synthetic Food – ““You will eat bugs,” as the infamous Klaus Schwab line goes, was merely the beginning of what the globalists intent on ushering in the Great Reset have planned for the masses. Food production is bad for the environment, therefore, the people must resort to lab-created synthetic products. All of this may sound like it is coming from a dystopian novel but the plans have been enacted. The latest synthetic product is carbon butter—a butter-like substance made using carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and oxygen to synthesize fat molecules without animals, oils, or plants. Savor, the startup company in Batavia, Illinois that is creating this product is backed by none other than Bill Gates.” – Martin Armstrong

New Bill Gates-Funded Chimeric Polio Vaccine for Children Sheds 100% in Recipients, Spread Documented: ‘The Lancet’ Journal – “Frankenstein pathogen cobbled from multiple viruses gained genetic stability, meaning scientists rewired its genome with an unnatural trait no wild poliovirus has.” – Jon Fleetwood

World Council for Health Sounds Alarm: Covid-Vaxxed Face ‘Ticking Time Bomb’ of Mass Deaths – Frank Bergman

The death cult continues hunting pregnant women and newborns. Moderna’s CMV vaccine will be approved soon – “The strategy of eugenics and population control by “public health”, aka, poisoning by “vaccines” is not new, and mothers and children have always been its target. The “death care” drive to poison babies before they are born or on the first day of their life at the latest continues unabated, and yes, it is a critical agenda item that spans every administration, regardless of political party in charge.” – Sasha Latypova

New Workplace Epidemic Identified (Because Hating Your Job Needed a Fancy HR Term) – “It’s called “quiet cracking” and it’s as woke as it sounds” – Jenna McCarthy.

Malone Raised Victimhood To The $10B Level – “Malone Tries To Convince He Is Anti-Vaccine After Receiving $10B At DTRA And DoD” – George Webb

Muzzled Docs Have Dead Patients. If Your Doctor Cannot Ask Questions, They Cannot Treat You Safely. – “When your doctor cannot ask whether something is wrong, or wrong for you, or wrong with the science, your doctor becomes a government functionary which may be harmful to your health.” – Rima E Laibow MD

 

 

 

 

NEWS

An Offer He Can’t Refuse – “Volodymyr Zelenskyy is dropping in at the White House today so that Mr. Trump can read him the riot act. It’s that simple. Somewhere to or from Alaska, Mr. Trump concluded that a ceasefire would not work, for the excellent reason that seven previous ceasefires in Ukraine failed, and only reinforced distrust and disappointment between the warring parties. Instead, the goal is a peace settlement, an end to the war. The USA and Russia cannot make peace in Ukraine because the war is between Ukraine and Russia. The USA can only mediate and propose terms.” – James Howard Kunstler

Russia Did NOT Invade Ukraine – “A totally transparent blatant lie has been turned into a truth throughout the Western world. The lie is that Russia invaded Ukraine. I will provide the factual history which is easy to verify. When Washington overthrew the Ukrainian government in 2014 and installed a puppet, Washington relied on the Banderites to push the government into hostility with the Russian settled areas of Ukraine, areas such as Crimea and Donbas, that originally were part of Russia.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Bumbling Towards a Nobel Prize? – “Trump sees only fragments (with no coherent overview), of what the US has done to foster the Russia/China alliance—making it almost unassailable. He also doesn’t understand that BRICS is a reaction to political instability caused by the US—and Trump. Trump doesn’t understand that BRICS is not about a currency to rival the dollar. Nor a military alliance. BRICS is about doing business—with trusted levels of predicability. Understanding who made-up the Russian delegation, next to the US team, is but a joke. The Russians are seasoned diplomats, playing the long game, while the US teams are Zionist, neocon realtors.” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

Today’s Outcome In DC Could Leave The US Much Stronger, And Europe Far Weaker – “Following what was expected to be a Friday of high geopolitical drama for markets, but wasn’t, today may prove that event instead. So, on security guarantees, Europe will say, “The US”; the US will say, “Europe’; and the US will win. Just as Trump told Zelenskyy “You don’t have the cards,” the UK and Europe don’t either. For those expecting the US and Europe to do more economically, i.e., secondary sanctions on buyers of Russian oil and/or action vs. Russian oil at sea, neither is prepared for the pain and geopolitical / geoeconomic escalation it would involve: if they were, such sanctions would have been placed on China already, as one example. Obviously, they haven’t, and Trump just made clear they likely won’t be – Europe didn’t even need to say it.” – Michael Every   – GOOD GEOPOLITICAL/ECONOMICAL ANALYSIS FROM MICHAEL!!!

Zelensky Drags Traveling Circus to Town for One Last Encore – “First, let us mention the most obvious thing, which is that Russia’s primary confirmed victory in the talks—as opposed to the various speculative parameters now floating about—was aligning the US with Putin’s demand of “agreement before ceasefire”, rather than Zelensky and Europe’s rival demand of “ceasefire before agreement”.” – Simplicius

Zelensky, Not Trump or Putin, is the Threat to Peace – “For the brutal war to finally end, the Ukrainian president must go.” – Brandon J. Weichert

Ursula’s big success: More U.S. tariffs – a deal to cry about but presented as victory – “According to media outlets and, of course, politicians – after all, the media is the mouthpiece for politicians – Ursula von der Leyen, representing the EU, achieved a major victory. The Americans agreed to impose tariffs of only 15% on European products! Von der Leyen’s success is so great that the EU will be forced to buy energy from the Americans for the sum of $750 billion and $600 billion for defense equipment from the United States. In short, the Europeans will pay dearly for the incompetence of the clowns who, in a completely unprofessional manner, govern the European Union.” – Sonja van den Ende

Rumours of night time training camps in Great Yarmouth (short VIDEO) – StarmerOut on X  – SO WHAT’S GOING ON IN ENGLAND!!!

John Brennan Just Showed Us Why Nobody Should Ever Take Him Seriously – “Democrats are already making fools of themselves over President Donald Trump’s Friday meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Now, one of them is going full conspiracy theory over the matter. Former CIA Director John Brennan, during a recent appearance on MSNBC, suggested that Putin may have placed a microchip in Trump’s limousine as they rode together to the meeting site. So, Brennan actually believes that a foreign head of state would be stupid enough to try placing some type of bug in the presidential limo while they were on the way to discuss an end to a war. Or perhaps, he’s just doing what he does best: Peddling false narratives.” – Jeff Charles

Mamdani’s “Affordability” Agenda Could be Costly – “His plans include more free or low-cost services, including creating city-owned grocery stores, making all city buses free, freezing rents on stabilized apartments, providing free childcare and raising taxes on the wealthy. While that’s worrisome enough in a city facing potential annual budget gaps of $13 billion, a far more insidious threat to a Mamdani-run city are his anti-law enforcement and pro-offender stances and policy prescriptions.” – Open the Books

How Zionism became orthodoxy for the Jewish religion – “Zionists have managed to conflate Judaism with Zionism, and the few anti-Zionist Jews lack the capacity to carry Jewish identity into the future. The Zionist lobby uses the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism to silence critics of Zionism. A common retort is that Zionism and Judaism are distinct things. This is true now, was even truer in the past, but may very well not be true in the future.” – Bruna Frascolla

New GPS Data Reveals Exactly Who Showed Up At White House Protests – “67 devices tied to federal government employees, with access to secured federal buildings (DoD, VA, DHS, DOJ, FBI, Treasury).” -Tyler Durden

US Pressure Might Inadvertently Bring India & China Back Together – “Any meaningful improvement of Sino-Indo ties, especially in the economic dimension, could prompt Trump to either walk back his hardline policy on India to court it away from China or punitively double down on this approach.” – Andrew Korybko

Are You Drowning Too?: Vegetables Are Up 38.9%, Coffee Is Up 25%, And Electricity Prices Are Rising Twice As Fast As Inflation – Michael Snyder

Home builders boost sales incentives to 5-year high as they struggle to sell newly built homes – “Two-thirds of builders are offering sales incentives to lure home buyers” – Aarthi Swaminathan

America Don’t Need No “Independent” Fed – “Talk about hiding in plain sight. Here is possibly the most important graph ever about the flagging state of the US economy and the utter failure of Washington’s constant efforts during the last two decades to “stimulate” improved outcomes. To wit, the US industrial production index—which measures the sum of manufacturing, energy, mining, and utility output—marched straight uphill at a 3.3% annual rate between 1954 and 2007. Yet since then it has essentially plateaued, rising by just 0.10% per annum during the past 17 years. That’s right. The growth rate of America’s industrial foundation has plunged by 97% since the pre-crisis peak in Q4 2007.” – David Stockman

$37 Trillion (and Counting): How Government Debt Affects Your Wallet – Peter Reagan

The Last Thing We Need Right Now is a Fed Rate Cut – “Pressure on Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve continues to mount as both Wall Street and the White House demand more easy money to keep asset price inflation accelerating ever upward. These inflationists also hope that easy money-policy will somehow reverse the current stagnating trend in employment. In recent months, both President Trump and the usual Wall Street outlets have insisted that the Fed reduce the target policy interest rate to ensure that stock prices and real estate prices continue to skyrocket ever upward. This is the last thing ordinary Americans need right now. Yes, continually rising asset prices are good for firms and individuals who already own large amounts of assets. These people have been pushing for lower interest rates for decades now, because lower interest rates function as a subsidy for asset owners and fuel rising asset prices.” – Ryan McMaken

Former Fed Insider on Recession & Hyperinflation Risk. Bullish for Gold? (VIDEO) – “Danielle DiMartino Booth joins Craig Hemke to reveal the truth about the labor market, the 24 downward payroll revisions in the last 30 months, and the real headcount data that points to ongoing economic weakness.” – Craig Hemke

How Jack Dorsey’s Block Inc Is Reinventing Finance With Bitcoin – “Block, Inc., founded by Jack Dorsey, the co-founder and ex-CEO of Twitter, is a financial technology company with a deepening full-stack connection to the Bitcoin industry through its subsidiaries. Its companies span payments apps and merchant tooling with Bitcoin integration, the development of bitcoin mining hardware, open source software development, a decentralized finance protocol for peer-to-peer markets and even a self-custody hardware wallet. Formerly called Square and founded in 2009, the company started integrating Bitcoin into its technology offering as early as 2014 via Cash App — its most famous subsidiary — allowing merchants to accept bitcoin payments through the app. ” – Juan Galt

THE BIG PICTURE

Own Your Sins – “The reality of my life is that I am daily in need of forgiveness. I am daily needing to repent of one mistake or another, of one sin or another. We make mistakes. We screw up. That’s a problem, because we do not get to unmake any of our mistakes. Good or bad, right or wrong, for better or worse, whatever we do immediately becomes part of our past, and everyone’s past is fixed and unchanging. It is because the past is permanent that we all stand in sore need of forgiveness.” – Peter Nayland Kust

The Real DC Crime Numbers Will Shock You (Hint: They Don’t Support Federal Takeover) – “Trump Claims ‘Victory’ After One Week – But These Crime Stats Tell a VERY Different Story. Fox News and other outlets have breathlessly reported arrests and drug seizures as evidence of the federalization strategy’s immediate effectiveness. But a closer examination of the actual crime data reveals a troubling disconnect between political messaging and statistical reality. The numbers don’t lie, even when the narrative does. Crime data expert Jeff Asher noted that “violent crime in DC is currently declining and the city’s reported violent crime rate is more or less as low now as it has been since the 1960s. The city’s official violent crime rate in 2024 was the second lowest that has been reported since 1966.” This decline began well before any federal intervention:” – The Wise Wolf

WE NEED LAW AND ORDER IN WASHINGTON – “It’s rare I agree with President Trump, but this time I applaud his sending of federal agents, the National Guard and more police into DC. This is a real emergency. Washington needs martial law. But authoritarian governance is, as was said of fire, ‘a useful servant, but a dangerous master.’ The draconian steps taken by Trump in Los Angeles and now Washington are very dangerous. The Trump administration is already too drunk on power and could become quickly addicted to using martial law to enforce its policies.” – Eric S. Margolis

Trump has disrupted this normal deal making process with demands that he always be the winner. The irony of the setup is Trump’s deal demands are very often counterproductive to the US. I can only imagine the howls if a Democrat president did these things. The worst part is Trump treats allies worse than China. The bigger the ally, the more the pounding. At the top of the ally pounding list is Canada, followed by Mexico.” – Mish

Nobody Knows What’s Real – “Censorship and information warfare have destroyed public trust in institutions. There’s no better example of how little faith Americans have that government officials will tell the truth than the public’s blasé reaction to UFO announcements.

An Alaska summit menu for Putin was left on a printer and the mainstream media loses its mind – “Some intern-level documents were left on a printer in Alaska regarding the summit, one of which was the menu of the food served, and the media lost its mind: In their minds, everything is classified, or to be classified, there are too many ways an enemy could put knowledge of filet mignon to its own uses.” – Monica Showalter

Declassified: CIA’s Covert Ukraine Invasion Plan – “In August 1957, the CIA secretly drew up elaborate plans for an invasion of Ukraine by US special forces. It was hoped neighbourhood anti-Communist agitators would be mobilized as footsoldiers to assist in the effort.The mission was forecast to be a delicate and difficult balancing act, as much of Ukraine’s population held “few grievances” against Russians or Communist rule, which could be exploited to foment an armed uprising. The CIA’s invasion plan never formally came to pass. Yet, areas of Ukraine forecast by the Agency to be most welcoming of US special forces were precisely where support for the Maidan coup was highest. Given what transpired elsewhere in Ukraine following February 2014, other sections of the CIA report take on a distinctly eerie character.” – Kit Klarenberg  – LOOKS LIKE THIS WAS IN THE MAKING FOR QUITE SOME TIME UNTIL 2014 THEY FINALLY GOT THE BALL ROLLING AND FINALLY PISSED RUSSIA OFF!!!!!!!!!!!

THE BIG PICTURE

The Forbidden Question – “My personal experiences seem to lag a bit behind the general population. I have not, until recently, noticed too many people succumbing to strange cancers. Now, quite a few have come up in my personal life, as well as in my professional life. We have, of course, heard for years that one of the fallouts from the irresponsible release of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine was the possibility of increased cases of all sorts of cancers. Proponents of this view argue that the vaccines, introduced globally in late 2020, have triggered an unprecedented increase in cancer diagnoses, particularly among younger individuals, with cancers presenting as unusually aggressive and resistant to treatment. They point to anecdotal reports from clinicians and pathologists who claim to have observed a rise in rare and rapidly progressing cancers, such as cholangiocarcinoma, lymphomas, and triple-negative breast cancer, since the vaccine rollout. So, what is the forbidden question? Obviously, it is, “Were they vaxxed?” when we hear of an unusual cancer death or diagnosis. We typically do not ask that question for obvious reasons, one of them being that we already know the answer.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

BlackRock’s Larry Fink Now World Economic Forum Co-Chair – “BlackRock CEO, already controlling trillions in assets, now sits atop the Davos machine pushing the “Great Reset.” – Jon Fleetwood  – THIS IS HUGE, ACTUALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!

A few bad cats – “Dear haters… I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to anyone who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom of speech and thought and the rollback of incipient totalitarian joy theft that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said “thank you” and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a subscription to midjourney and spend your Sunday morning cyberbullying addleheaded politicians until they learn to fear the public square as nature intended. Either way, I don’t give a DAMN what you think you’re entitled to!” – El Gato Malo  – WELL SAID BY EL GATO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Cancer”, the greatest FAKE disease-label ever invented – “First, understand that, yes, people suffer, they’re in pain, they are disabled, they die. No one denies that. But from what? Why are they really suffering and dying? These disease labels are COVER STORIES. They protect the corporations and governments that poison populations. The toxins are the real causes.” – Jon Rappoport

Mark Jeftovic on the Genius Act, CBDCs, Bitcoin and the tokenized future (VIDEO) – “Politicians say no CBDCs, but they’re quietly building them anyway.” – Collapse Life

Abortions in Churches? – “Hold my beer…” – Jim McCraigh

Fast Facts Friday – “Rabies is rare. It isn’t scary, but the new mRNA rabies vaccine is indeed terrifying. We just wrote about rabies two weeks ago. It’s in the news even more now. They’re stirring the pot of fear again.” – Dr. Sherri Tenpenny

Is Harmful Black Mold a HOAX? Let’s Check Out the Studies – “Here’s the Best “Evidence” of Stachybotrys Chartarum (aka Black Mold) Causing Health Problems.. Here we go again… So, for all of history, until two decades ago, nobody seemed to have a problem with black mold; now it’s a bigger killer than Samuel Little and John Wayne Gacy combined. Wanna learn how this was determined? Remember, these studies we are about to discuss are the best evidence of black mold being harmful, per ChatGPT.” – Agent131711

 

 

 

NEWS (QUITE A FEW AND VARYING OPINIONS ON THE SUMMIT)

Historic Summit: An Empty and Underwhelming PR Spectacle, But Still Good For Relations – “The long-awaited Trump-Putin summit came and went in Anchorage, Alaska:. The cartoonish staging of the event coordination was another Trump ‘special’, straight from the playbook of his teenage-boy fever dream, stacking warplanes like matchbox toys, and even arranging for a crude B-2 Spirit and F-35 stealth bomber flyover above Putin’s head just as he made his way down the hastily-draped runner as some kind of strongman ‘power move’ and intimidation tactic, meant to evoke the recent Iranian strikes: This type of antic stunt ages very badly—it’s gimmicky, low-impulse, and signals to the counterparty—in this case, Putin—that you care more about domestic optics than establishing an atmosphere of true rapport and cooperation; i.e. it’s more a show of bravado to the domestic audience and critics. To the rest of the world, such displays lack taste and class.” – Simplicius   – 👍 WELL SAID BY SIMPLICIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Alaska summit was a success. The challenge is to make it last – “This is the moment when the US has to stick to a course of normalization with Russia no matter what the EU and Kiev want” – Tarik Cyril Amar

How you know the Putin-Trump meeting was a success – “Because all the Russia-haters said it was a failure The Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska ended a few short hours after it started, and it was by any intelligent standard a great meeting. We don’t have all the details yet, but the verdict is still clear. Let’s first establish why the critics have no leg to stand on. From at least March 2022, no Western leader, whether in Europe or North America, ever bothered to meet with Putin. You would think that because there is a war going on, that such a meeting would be priority #1, but apparently they all failed this basic test: Macron, Mertz, Starmer, Meloni, Kristersson, Stubb and all the rest — most importantly, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. None of them lifted a finger to speak with Putin. Only one or two of them even placed a phone call to Putin over those three years. They were useless, which turned into being counterproductive.” – Anton Wahlman

For Putin, It’s Business; For Trump, It’s Fame – “Reflections on the Trump-Putin Meeting in Alaska” – Bill Astore

Trump Grades Putin Summit a ’10’, But it Was a Spectacular Flop – “The summit is over and the next round is reportedly cancelled.” – Mish

Trump Said It: “There’s No Better Word Than Stupid.” – “For anyone who still thinks Donald Trump does not represent the interests of what is called “the deep state” but is actually the shallow or official US state, it is time to think again. If he is not a figurehead for those alleged hidden forces, then he will agree to a Russia-Ukraine settlement on Russia’s fundamental terms – that is, a mutual security agreement that stipulates the pulling back of US/NATO forces encircling Russia, etc. – when he meets with Putin in Alaska today. There will be no further delay.” – Edward Curtin

Global Media Meltdown As Putin And Trump Have Goodwill Peace Summit In Alaska; EU Media Openly Miserable, Zelensky Will Visit WH On Monday: What Does The 4 Quadrillion Dollar Debt Have To Do With It? – “So Do They Need A Thermonuclear War? They Don’t Need A Little Piddly War.” – Celia Farber

What’s Standing In The Way Of A Grand Compromise On Ukraine? – “The onus is now on Zelensky to reciprocate Putin’s widely perceived willingness to compromise for peace. Putin and Trump publicly confirmed that they found a lot of common ground during their three-hour-long talks in Anchorage, but no grand compromise on Ukraine was reached due to “a couple of big [points]…” – Andrew Korybko

‘Democrat’ becoming synonymous with criminality, anti-Americanism – “There is no other way to say it: today’s Democrats have a love-affair with criminals, violence, and vulgarity. Thus, they clearly favor illegal immigrants over citizens, criminals over the law-abiding, and chaos over the Constitution. The examples are legion, inexhaustible. To wit:” – Eric Utter

Can Responsibility to Defend and Responsibility to Protect Be Reconciled? – “Trump deployed the National Guard to assist with cleaning up the town. Congress, the deep state, and possibly the courts will go along with this use of, and show of, force not because it is necessary or constitutional, but because it is good for them politically and materially, and because it sets one more useful precedent for federal power. It’s truly a win-win for them. Rather than a philosopher who thinks about how things should be – is man to be self-governed? should the state be limited? is war immoral? –Trump is a technician who assesses the “problem” with the “unit” and seeks to repair or replace it.  Trump is far more sincere and patriotic than either of the Clintons, which makes him a more attractive candidate, and his fix-it mentality has made him a minor threat to those actually moving and shaking the increasingly brittle US empire. ” – Karen Kwiatkowski

Mayor Bowser Sends Mixed Signals in a Washington Whirlwind – “Does she see Trump’s federalization of DC as a help or hindrance?” – Corey Smith

A Little Black Girl from Tennessee Takes Down Europe’s Illuminati “Aristocratic” Luciferian Pedo Scum – “And it is marvellous to see. Candace Owens has had me howling with laughter on and off for the last ten days. Ever since the President and First “Lady” of France decided to sue her for defamation. Candace does not pull punches.” – Elizabeth Nickson  – GOOD READ!!!

 

 

 

ECONOMIC NEWS

THE DOMINOS ARE FALLING… (GOLDMAN SACHS ISSUES A NEW STOCK MARKET WARNING). (VIDEO) – Gregory Mannarino

Inflation alarm bells went off again and prices are rising. Just how bad is it going to get? – “Consumer and wholesale prices ticked up in July” – Jeffry Bartash

When the Data Is Bad, Just Lie – “Bad jobs numbers? Just say they’re good. High inflation? Just claim it’s low. While the old adage “numbers don’t lie” may have a ring of truth, in reality, people lie a lot, and governments lie constantly—and they’re releasing the data that all the big decisions are supposed to be based on. For example, if people need three different jobs to house and feed their families, that’s clearly not good. But the government will paint it as a great thing by telling you that the jobs numbers are strong, failing to mention that the economy is actually so weak that people need multiple income streams just to survive.” – Peter Schiff  – GREAT POINT FROM PETER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The PROOF is in Today: YOU and U.S. Businesses Are Paying Entirely for the Trump Tariffs – “From CPI inflation earlier this week to skyrocketing producer inflation yesterday to stark proof today that foreign businesses are NOT compensating one bit for tariffs, YOU are the one getting stung!” – David Haggith

Wall Street Is Now Dumping It’s Junk On The Regular Investor (VIDEO) with Lance Roberts – Adam Taggart | Thoughtful Money®

A World Of Fiat – “What isn’t often mentioned is how this massive trade deficit ever came about to the extent that it has to begin with. If the world still operated on a gold standard these mega imbalances would have been impossible. Consider a world where every dollar, yen, or euro was backed by a real, physical piece of gold in a vault. That’s the gold standard. In this system, if the U.S. wanted to buy more goods from other countries than it was selling, it would have to pay in gold. That means gold would be flowing out of the U.S. and into the hands of its trading partners. As the U.S. gold reserves dwindled, the amount of dollars in circulation would shrink, making dollars more valuable. At the same time, the countries receiving all that gold would see their money supply grow, making their currencies less valuable.” – MN Gordon

From “Retirement Dream” to Nightmare – Here’s How to Avoid the Trap – “Nearly 1 in 5 retirees say their golden years feel more like a nightmare. Here are the top 3 mistakes they made – and how you can plan ahead, avoid costly blunders and turn your retirement dream into reality… ” – Peter Reagan

19 Ingenious Ways You Can Repurpose Tomatoes – “If you grow tomatoes on your homestead, you probably already know how wonderful they taste fresh off the vine. But tomatoes are way more than just a tasty treat for your table. Around the homestead, they can be used in all sorts of clever and practical ways, from helping your garden stay healthy to tackling common chores and even making homemade remedies.” – Steve Nubie

Wasp, Hornet, and Yellow Jacket Population Control Made Simple – “Late summer often brings a surge of wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets—sometimes closer to your home than you’d like. Fortunately, there’s a fairly fast, inexpensive, and highly effective trap that not only clears them from your yard but can reduce populations across the orchard. By using a lure trap that contaminates their food supply, you can collapse the colony from the inside out.” – Bill Heid

THE BIG PICTURE

The Biblical Case For Supporting Israel – “During a speech in South Carolina, US Senator Lindsey Graham warned that God will “pull the plug” on Americans if they stop supporting Israel. The senator is correct, of course. What, do you doubt him? God clearly and explicitly commands Christians to support the modern state of Israel. It’s right here in the Holy Bible; give me a moment and I’ll find the verse for you. Aha! Got it. Exodus 20:13, “You shall not murder.” Wait, hold on, that’s not it. Here it is, Matthew 5:9, “Blessed are the peacemakers.” Hang on, shoot, that’s not the one. What I meant to say is Lamentations 2:19, “Lift your hands to him for the lives of your children, who faint for hunger at the head of every street.” Ah, wrong one, lemme thumb through this a bit more. Got it! Proverbs 24:11, “Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter.”” – Caitlin Johnstone  – CAITLIN NAILS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There Is Debate About Whether The Red Heifer Sacrifice That Took Place In Israel On July 1st Was The Real Thing Or Not – Michael Snyder  – THE RED HEIFFER IS ONLY MENTIONED ONCE IN THE BIBLE (NUMBERS 19:1 – 9). AND WELL BEFORE EVEN THE FIRST TWO TEMPLES WERE BUILT. AND THE RITUAL HAD TO DO WITH THE PURIFICATION OF SIN. NOT SURE HOW ALL THIS GOT CONNECTED TO THE REBUILDING OF THE TEMPLE!!!!!

A POLICE STATE for Your Safety (VIDEO) – “”Operation Warp Speed was, whether you’re Republican or Democrat, considered one of the most incredible things ever done in this country. The efficiency, the… The way it was done, the distribution, everything about it has been amazing. But, you know, that was now a long time ago, and we’re on to other things.” – Trump.  As RFK Jr. works hard to restore public trust in vaccines, insisting that the most effective way to prevent the spread of measles is the MMR vaccine, President Trump announces the beginning of a police state. With $45 billion of the big beautiful spending bill, Trump is seeing to the largest federal expansion of prisons and detention powers in U.S.” – Greg Reese  – ANOTHER GOOD ONE FROM GREG, A MUST WATCH!!!!

Unstoppable Fires Burning All Over the World (VIDEO) with Dane Wigington – “Wigington has said many times that there is no serious conversation about the climate without talking about climate engineering first and foremost. Climate engineers are so desperate to cool the planet, they have literally set the world on fire to put out smoke to block the sun. Are we to think that they can’t, if they wanted to, squash these fires? They are in Western North America, Siberia, Spain and Portugal. They are burning all over the world. Americans don’t know this because they are too caught up in political theater. ” – Greg Hunter

We are ants – “and our anthill is about to be bulldozed. ” – Sarah Connor

America vs China on AI – “Donald Trump is going all-in on Artificial Intelligence to ensure America continues dominating what is easily the most important technology in our lifetimes. And easily the most dangerous if the American government — or the Chinese government — captures it. This all matters because AI is growing much faster than even cheerleaders expected a few years ago. AI is now 71% of all venture capital in the US, running over $300 billion annualized. At this stage of the internet — call it 1997 — internet VC was just $3.5 billion, inflation-adjusted. So going by dollars in, AI is roughly 80 times the internet.” – Peter St Onge

South Korean Scientists Engineer Chicken Cells to Produce Deadly Bird Flu Spike Protein for New Vaccine: ‘International Journal of Molecular Sciences’ – “Same team behind recent “weaponized” H5N1 avian influenza chimeric virus that targets human cells.” – Jon Fleetwood

Gates-funded World Bank project seeks to connect digital ID with fast payment systems – Tim Hinchliffe

The Future of Cancer Treatment is ‘Personalized’ mRNA vaccines. How is That Possible When Cancer is Not a Genetic Disease? – “The sales pitch for mRNA cancer vaccines is to encode tumor mutations into an mRNA shot, “train” the immune system, and voilà, we have a personalized cancer cure. The reality: most cancers emerge from non-genetic conditions—chronic inflammation, hypoxia (low tissue oxygen), toxic metals, infections, and metabolic collapse—long before mutations become the headline. If you treat the genomic smoke while ignoring the biochemical fire, you get more hype than healing.” – Dr. Sircus

NEWS

When the World Meets on the Edge of the Map – “An anticipated Trump–Putin meeting in Alaska promises high-stakes diplomacy wrapped in Cold War echoes, where the venue, the optics, and the silences may prove as consequential as any agreements reached.” – Phil Butler

Can Putin Pass the Test? – “Yesterday President Trump in his public statements validated my conclusion that Trump does not know what the Russian position is and that he is going to the meeting to find out what the “parameters” are and that he sees the meeting as a “feel-out meeting” to see whether the conflict in Ukraine can be ended. In other words, no solution is expected from the meeting for which no preparatory work has been done. Is the answer that the purpose of the meeting is to put Putin on the spot by creating expectations of success that cannot be achieved? French President Macron said that Trump told him that he intends to “obtain a ceasefire in Ukraine during the meeting with Putin.” When Putin doesn’t agree to halt Russia’s successful offensive, is the plan to blame Putin for wrecking the chance for peace?” – Paul Craig Roberts

Russia has ‘clear stance’ ahead of Putin-Trump summit – Lavrov – “The talks will build on earlier rounds between US envoy Steve Witkoff and the Russian president, the foreign minister has said” – RT

The EU throws an epic tantrum as Trump meets with Putin – “Brussels has been relegated to running behind Trump, pleading to let Zelensky have any say in a Russia-Ukraine war resolution” – Rachel Marsden

Canada’s Role in the Alaska Setting of the Putin-Trump Talks – “The Missing Dimension of Historical Context Brought to Light. As Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump meet in Alaska, it is important to appreciate the larger significances of the place where the meeting is taking place. It is not accidental that the USA purchased Alaska from Russia in 1867, the very year that the British Parliament enacted the British North America Act. This British enactment created the Dominion of Canada as new incarnation of “Canada.”” – Anthony James Hall

Trump’s First 200 Days of Success – “Trump’s first 200 days have been hailed as a BOON for America! He has brokered Peace and deserves the Nobel Prize. He has made massive deals benefitting America to the tune of hundreds of billions. He has halted all immigration and deserves a Medal of Freedom. He has lifted America’s economy to 3% Growth. Inflation is down and employment is up! YEAH…sigh. A. Since taking office Trump has bombed, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Russia, Iran and Somalia. B. The ‘deals’ are pledges from economies and corporations which are experiencing recessions and lost revenue and haven’t a dime to disperse. and more….” – Helena Glass  – HELENA BREAKS IT ALL DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DC home rule, madhouses, and choices – “The hard tasks of hard men making soft times. DC home rule by the federal government has become a hot topic this week. I would argue that it’s basically not even a radical idea. When faced with such outlandish circumstances, it’s a normal idea, a simple, run of the mill rocks are hard, water is wet obvious idea. Up until quite recently, even the notion of tolerating a city working as municipal DC does would have been an unusual conception in any sort of modern society.” – El Gato Malo

Our History, Our Cause – “History is not only the key to the future, it is the only measure of the present. Comparing one’s societal condition to some historical event or condition can make sense of otherwise nonsensical actions of government.” – T.L. Davis

Ladies and Gentlemen: Welcome to the Greatest ‘Magic’ Shit Show on Earth – “Right when Trump’s Epstein links were getting scrutiny—enter Russiagate. “For my next trick, I’m going to make the biggest scandal in American history completely disappear before your very eyes. Watch closely—but not too closely—as I perform the ancient art of misdirection on an entire nation.”” – The Wise Wolf

British People Have Had ENOUGH… – “They want change NOW.In a striking display of public discontent, close to 750,000 people at time of writing have signed an official parliamentary petition demanding an immediate general election in the UK. ” – Steve Watson

Trump Purges 275,000 Illegal Aliens From Social Security – Tyler Durden

Gavin Newsom and His Hair Gel Aren’t Going to Be Happy About This Appeals Court Ruling – “And another one gone, another one gone, another one bites the dust! The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has laid waste to California’s ridiculous “one-gun-per-month” law in yet another victory for gun rights.” – Jeff Charles

Syria: Prey to the Globalist Cabal and Crony Capitalist Al Qaeda Regime – “Syria is in a state of catastrophic turmoil. Minorities are being slaughtered and displaced, and their homes are being stolen. Meanwhile, Washington green-lights a gangster capitalist shadow state” – Vanessa Beeley and UK Column

ECONOMIC NEWS

PMs — the lull before the storm – “Expectations for Trump’s meeting with Putin in Alaska have been downplayed but diverted attention from a stalling US and global economy. Any independent observer will note that the outlook for the dollar is deteriorating, credit risk rising, and a debt trap is being sprung on the US Treasury. Tonight’s Alaska circus is a diversion from this reality.” – Alasdair Macleod

Inflation Comes in for a Summer Scorcher – “So, “Liar, liar, pants on fire” to all of Team Trump’s promises that you don’t pay for tariffs.” – David Haggith

WHOLESALE INFLATION SURGES! NO END IN SIGHT. AS FOR THE STOCK MARKET? A STORM IS COMING. (VIDEO) – “anyone with one one functioning brain cell, maybe even half of one functioning brain cell could see this coming from from from around the other side of the earth or the other side of the universe. Uh, maybe even from the moon. And I can tell you this, it ain’t going to stop. So, this is the headline here. Wholesale prices post biggest surge in three years. Producer price index shows inside of tariff related inflation and President Trump is very unhappy that this is being reported. I guess he’s going to shut down all every single news agency right now. This spike is not random in any way, shape, or form. And it’s certainly not unexpected by a single one of you who follow this blog” – Gregory Mannarino

Producer Prices Just Blew Up. Are Consumer Prices Next? – “Why The Latest Price Surge Is A Problem For Trump And Powell” – Peter Nayland Kust

Retail Sales Jump 0.5 in July Percent Led by Autos and Nonstore – “Excluding autos and gasoline, real inflation-adjusted sales were flat.” – Mish

Now Comes the Hard Part – “Scraped of pleasantries, the ultimate purpose of any status quo is to 1) distribute most of the economy’s gains to the top tier and 2) offload the sacrifices this requires to the bottom tiers but in stealthy ways that aren’t noticeable enough to spark political revolt. The basic stealth mechanisms deployed over the past 50 years to offload the sacrifices on the bottom 90% are: 1) Reduce the share of the national income going to wages so the share going to corporate profits and finance could soar. (see charts below) 2) Place the tax burden for entitlements (Social Security and Medicare) on the wage earners while reducing the taxes levied on unearned income from the ownership of assets / capital. 3) Understate official inflation. 4) Inflate credit-asset bubbles that enriched the owners of assets at rates far above inflation.” – Charles Hugh Smith

Stocks plunge as key inflation gauge signals worst tariff-driven price hikes still ahead – Ben Shimkus

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Build an Emergency Food Supply List – “There are several ways to build an emergency food supply to stock a survival kit and a “bug out bag”. While you can purchase specialized food products or a self-contained emergency preparedness kit, these can be costly and wasteful. Instead, you can simply assemble shelf-stable foods that you already buy or preserve at home. Many canned, dried, and pickled foods are quite suitable for use in an emergency kit.” – Carole Cancler

LOTS GOING ON IN THE WORLD AND IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE EVERY DAY. POLICE STATES AND SURVEILLANCE STATES IN THE U.S. AND THE EU. INCREASE IN WARS BROUGHT ABOUT BY THE U.S., ISRAEL, AND GREAT BRITAIN. ECONOMIES GOING TO HELL. RUSSIAGATE, EPSTEIN FILES, NEGOTIATIONS WITH VLAD. STAY TUNED!!

THE BIG PICTURE

The Airport to the End of the World -“My last trip through TSA was … a little surreal. When I went through TSA clearance, they asked for my passport as usual, but then had me stand in front of a face scanner. I had never done that before for anything, but I didn’t think too much of it because I just figured, It makes sense. The government probably has a huge database of criminals and illegal immigrants and suspected terrorists whose faces they’ve now scanned so they can quickly check if I’m one of them. I suddenly thought, Hold it! They probably were not just scanning to see if I was in a known criminal database—a thought I didn’t have much trouble with—they were probably scanning in order to PUT ME INTO a national database. I gave them the strongest photo ID I have—my passport—so now they have a scan of my face, matched up to my passport ID, ” – David Haggith

The Right to Be Left Alone – Judge Andrew P. Napolitano

Israeli Spy Network: The Force Behind The Surveillance State – “The Mossad-Jeffrey Epstein 30-year blackmail network that entrapped large numbers of the superrich and powerful is still fresh in our minds and boiling in our hearts—at least in some of our hearts. Mike Johnson and other leaders in Congress are hoping that Congress’ August recess will be instrumental in helping the American people to forget the scandal. And given the American people’s short attention span, it might work. One would think that the American people—Democrats and Republicans—would be outraged by this traitorous plot to bring the U.S. government into subservience to a foreign power, but, for the most part, they aren’t. Democrats won’t protest, because Bill Clinton’s name is in the Epstein files; and Republicans won’t protest, because Donald Trump’s name is in the Epstein files. Our electorate has become so partisan that they put the wellbeing of their party above the wellbeing of their country.” – Chuck Baldwin

The Butker Principle: Is America Better Off Without Women In The Workforce? – “As I have noted in the past, there are many Marxist and globalist ideologies focused on social engineering, but the first and perhaps most dangerous in the US is feminism. It’s not a coincidence that Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels published their Communist Manifesto in February of 1848, and feminism traces its roots directly to the Seneca Falls Convention in New York, held in July of 1848 (many of the women involved in the event would go on to express ties to socialism, including Fabian socialism). Feminism was originally predicated on the idea that women should have access to the same legal rights as men. This was achieved many decades ago, yet activists continue to demand more privileges as the movement seeks to justify its ongoing existence. This begs the question: What is the real purpose of feminism?” – Brandon Smith

Since 2007 Arctic sea ice extent (SIE) losses have ceased. Instead, the SIE trend has been stable for nearly two decades (Stern, 2025).” – Kenneth Richard  – AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH FOR AL, I DARE SAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NEWS

Carefully and Gracefully – “And so, now, in Alaska, Mr. Trump sits down with Vlad Putin to attempt a settling of Ukraine’s hash. This war has been a three-year bloody grind, millions killed, mostly Ukrainians, provoked underhandedly by US State Dept / CIA neocons, Britain’s MI6 apparatus, and the girl-bosses of the EU, for no good reason, namely, to weaken and possibly break-up Russia so as to get at its vast mineral and energy resources. This has been tried before in history, always to the grief of the triers. From our country’s point of view, the dynamics in play at this moment are delicate to an extreme. In the background of the Trump-Putin meet-up, amid an eerie silence in the DOJ and FBI, an epic, sweeping prosecution of the RussiaGate hoaxers creeps forward.” – James Howard Kunstler

The Bear and the Eagle Face-Off in Alaska – “All eyes on Alaska. The Bear-Eagle face-off is part of an astonishing acceleration of history in the summer of 2025. Two weeks after Alaska, there’s the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) annual summit in Tianjin, China. India’s Narendra Modi and Iran’s Masoud Pezeshkian will join, among others, Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin at the same table. A BRICS/SCO table. ” – Pepe Escobar

An Existential Threat to and from the Intelligence Community – “Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard’s declassification of communications and reports that implicate Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, senior officials from the Obama administration, and former heads of the Intelligence Community in a conspiracy to frame President Trump with the Russia Collusion Hoax is nothing less than earth-shattering. America has endured many political scandals. The country has never had to contend with anything of this magnitude —” – J.B. Shurk

The Final Solution: How Trump is Running Hitler’s Playbook in Real Time – “I’ve been a lifelong conservative Republican with libertarian leanings, and I’m here to tell you that Donald Trump isn’t the savior of America – he’s its undertaker. And if you can’t see the parallels between what’s happening now and what happened in Germany in the 1930s and Venezuela in the 2000s, then you’re either willfully blind or dangerously naive.” – The Wise Wolf

Beto drops the Democrat mask, reveals ‘who they are’ – “Beto O’Rourke recently spoke to a crowd in Texas stating, “There are no refs in this game. F**k the rules! We are going to win whatever it takes.” Talk about stating the obvious. Democrats have never cottoned to been bound by the rules, although this may be the first time a prominent one said “F**k the rules” to an audience. Then again, as much as they’ve all been cussing lately, maybe not. One thing is clear: Democrats have sworn off American citizens in favor of, well, anybody and everybody else.” – Eric Utter

Hunter Biden Refuses to Apologize to Melania Trump: ‘F*ck That – “Not only did the Daily Beast issue a retraction for the statements regarding Melania Trump, but so did Democrat strategist James Carville. Brito warned in the letter to Biden’s attorney that “failure to comply will leave Mrs. Trump with no choice but to pursue any legal rights and remedies available to her to recover the overwhelming financial and reputational harm that you have caused her to suffer.”” – Hannah Knudsen

Businesses moving out of Illinois triple since pandemic – “Illinois lost 218 businesses to other states in 2023, part of an acceleration to triple the rate of what losses were before the pandemic. When adjusted for population, Illinois ranked No. 2 for the most business losses. The Illinois exodus isn’t limited to people: businesses are moving out of the state, and the rate is accelerating dramatically.” – Bryce Hill

Pentagon effectively confirms ‘Golden Dome’ will breach Outer Space Treaty – “There’s also a lot of symbolism in Trump’s first announcement of the “Golden Dome”. Namely, he unveiled it on January 27, which was the day the OST was signed by the US and USSR in 1967.” – Drago Bosnic

Something Is Rotten in the States of America – “Look No Further than Colossal Pentagon Spending and Perpetual War. America’s war budget now exceeds $1 trillion a year—an almost unimaginable sum. The Pentagon plans to spend $1.7 trillion “modernizing” a nuclear triad that should instead be downsized. A proposed “Golden Dome” missile defense system may cost $500 billion while making nuclear war more likely. And a “new” Cold War with China and Russia is already underway, with threat inflation as one of its defining features. War has become America’s new normal. “Peace” is now a word that dare not speak its name” – Bill Astore

Russian-Azerbaijani Tensions Are Quickly Heating Up Over Ukraine – “None of this would be happening if the US didn’t squeeze Russia out of the Zangezur Corridor with Armenia’s and Azerbaijan’s assistance” – Andrew Korybko

SITREP 8/13/25: Pokrovsk Breakthrough Continuation – “A quick scattershot update as addendum to yesterday’s main report on the ongoing Pokrovsk situation. Now that we’ve had a day for events to settle a bit, we can get at least a somewhat clearer picture of what’s sticking and what isn’t, as far as the advances go.” – Simplicius

MASS JOB LOSSES DEAD AHEAD… AND NO ONE IS READY FOR THIS. (VIDEO) – “What’s happening here is pretty obvious, at least in my view. Let’s again, just for a second, look over at the market. So, the Dow finished higher by about 1%. Lovely and fantastic. The S&P 500 fractionally higher, but a new record. The NASDAQ fractionally higher, but yet a new record high. What’s happening here? First of all, when you have so much of the market compressed into seven ticker symbols, that is a recipe for disaster. It could literally be a setup for for another dot situation. That that’s huge.” – Gregory Mannarino

In human confrontations, that most of us preppers fear (angry mob destroying anything in its path, being ambushed when bugging out or just looters showing up at our doors, just to name a few) these basic impulses can seal our fate. that’s why it is important to be able to control them and do what’s right when the moment comes.” – Bob Rodgers

THE BIG PICTURE

The Police State Has a New Playbook: Martial Law, One City at a Time – “Let’s not mince words: every American should be alarmed by President Trump’s “Liberation Day” tactics, theatrics and threats. What is unfolding in the nation’s capital is a hostile takeover of our constitutional republic. This is no longer about partisan politics, wag-the-dog distractions from the Epstein debacle, or even genuine national security concerns. This is martial law disguised as law-and-order—the oldest trick in the authoritarian playbook.” – John & Nisha Whitehead  – HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR JOHN’S TAKE ON THIS ONE AND HERE IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The CDC shooter?  Laid-off fed health workers blame KENNEDY – “Aha. Because criticizing a vaccine is endorsing a man to open fire and kill a police officer. Got it.” – Jon Rappoport

CK Verse, Same as the First. Are We Really Going to Let Them Do This to Us Again? When Does Our “Hell, NO!” Get Louder Than Their, “Kill, Yes!”? Are We There Yet, Daddy? – “In case you haven’t noticed, we are in the middle of a participatory genocide. And, in case you haven’t noticed it, we can stop participating, if we can be bothered to do it.” – Rima E Laibow MD

DANGERS AHEAD–Will This Trigger Biblical Prophecy, the Iran War & America’s Downfall? (VIDEO) – John Barnett Online Teaching  – INTERESTING BIBLE INTERPRETATION!!!

Government Warns Americans to Stop Enjoying Life Until Further Notice – “It’s for your safety, really. Well, folks, the fun police are at it again—and now they’re coming for your cappuccino.” – Jenna McCarthy

The CHICKENPOX Contagion Experiments: How Pox & Herpes were Determined to be Contagious – “Just when you think you can’t possibly hear something more idiotic than the last idiotic thing you heard, along comes Chickenpox and Herpes contagion experiments… Up until the early 1900s, it was assumed chickenpox came from birds, hence its name. The medical-science industry insisted there were two types of chickenpox, both of which came from bird “germs”, but they claimed only one of the two types was deadly. Being that chickenpox looked exactly like smallpox and cowpox which looked significantly like herpes, the only way to distinguish what the patient was infected with was the doctor’s best guess.” – Agent131711

Climate Lockdowns – “COVID was the rehearsal…Climate is the show. This month, Canadians learned that a walk in the woods could cost more than a speeding ticket. Now the same reflex is being applied to forests. Banning hiking and picnics does not thin fuels, harden towns, or fix power line ignitions. It manages people, not risk. The result is months of restrictions on ordinary life, justified by a storyline that collapses the complexity of wildfire into a single variable, atmospheric CO₂.” – Dr. Matthew Wielicki

Nothing can or will happen as long as every “expert” continues to lie and spin – “Your tiers of experts and your tiers of media are designed to never get to the truth” – Sage Hana

Farmer’s Almanac Unveils Long-Range Forecast: “Widespread Wintry Weather” For U.S. – “Time to buy firewood.” – Tyler Durden  – HMM, WHAT ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING!!!

TSA considering outsourcing its ‘touchless’ biometric digital ID system to Big Tech – “No physical ID required at 14 U.S. airports and the program is now being handed off to private contractors. And of course there’s no oversight for any of this, so why wouldn’t they lie about what they do with our data? ” – Leo Hohmann

Health Prepping: So Now Cheese Is Poison? – “When Big Pharma and Big Food collaborate, the result is frequently creepy.Because Of Pfizer, 90% Of US Cheese Is Made Using GMO Corn & Black Mold, CRISPR Cow Gene Editing. This Bioengineered Rennet Requires No Special Labeling & No Ingredient Disclosure.” – John Rubino

Net Zero Nutters Suggest a Plague of Ticks Whose Bite Leads to a Potentially Fatal Red Meat Allergy – “Perhaps it’s a drinking or smoking game at Western Michigan University. Try to come up with the most farcical, April Fool-style Net Zero nonsense and see if we can get it published. How about writing a paper titled ‘Beneficial Bloodsucking’ that states it is “morally obligatory” to promote a plague of the lone star tick whose bite can lead to medical problems including an allergy to red meat. Oh, and it could kill you, but more about that later.” – Chris Morrison

NEWS

Trump v Putin in Alaska: Who has the upper hand? – “It’s the Art of the Deal versus Putin’s patience. Place your bets! President Trump is meeting President Putin in Alaska this coming Friday, to seek a truce on Ukraine. The back story is that Trump wants to extricate himself from America’s embarrassing failure to undermine Russia by means of a proxy war through Ukraine. Deep state operatives like Victoria Nuland (remember her?) spearheaded the Maidan revolution in 2013, following which Russia took Crimea. But this was almost certainly an extension of US deep state operations from the Colour revolution of 2004 onwards.” – Alasdair Macleod

Trump and the Feds Take DC! – “We’re finally invading ourselves” – Bill Astore

Save a Country Ride an Ostrich – ” When you picture freedom, maybe you think of an eagle soaring or a horse galloping into the sunset. But maybe—just maybe—our true spirit animal is the ostrich. Yes, the ostrich. A bird that can run 70 km/h, kick with the power to crush bone, and in spirit, is a close cousin of the emu—the bird that literally outmaneuvered an army. What did the emu do? In Western Australia, farmers were overrun by emus eating their crops. The military rolled in with machine guns, thinking it would be a quick victory. It wasn’t. When the dust settled, the emus had won. The government retreated. The “Great Emu War” was over, and the birds remained undefeated. Now imagine the gates swinging open. Imagine the thunder of 400 ostriches tearing across the prairie—not because they’re running away, but because they’re running toward something: freedom. That’s the choice we face as Canadians.” – Connie Shields  – SAME GOES FOR THE U.S. AS WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some of Trump’s STRONGEST Original Supporters Now Call Him a “Sell-Out” or “Betrayer” or “Victim of the Deep State.” – “The Epstein Crisis is opening eyes and changing minds as moral conviction finally rises above political passions.” – David Haggith

Reflections from the Heart of the Empire: Accelerations of Imperial Decline – “Trump’s new visa, immigration, and border harassment policies are projected to cost the American tourism industry over $40 billion this year alone. That’s OK, because all the tourists are now going to Mexico instead! Hacer que Mexico vuelva a ser grande! Buen trabajo, gringo!  Israel has now assassinated more than 270 journalists in Gaza since October 7, 2023. It’s almost as if they want to control the story and make everyone else die trying.” – Ohio Barbarian  – REFLECTIONS ON THE WEEKLY NEWS FROM THE BARBARIAN!!!

Sydney Sweeney, Whiteness, and Eugenics – “Endangered Blondes in America 2.0. Evidently, having a pretty blonde in a jeans ad, with the caption, “Sydney Sweeney has Great Jeans,” is yet another example of the White Privilege which Blacks seem to find everywhere. To my former blue collar worker mind, it just seems like a clever play on words, the kind I enjoy coming up with. But somehow, this has been deemed beyond racist, and perhaps a glorification of Hitler’s National Socialism. You know, Nazism. After all, it’s undeniable that Sweeney has the kind of Aryan looks that would have titillated the Fuhrer, one testicle and all.” – Donald Jeffries

Black Community Leaders in Cincinnati Demand Arrest of Beatdown Victim Who Allegedly ‘Incited’ Mob Violence – Debra Heine  – OF COURSE BECAUSE THE VICTIM WAS WHITE SO A BLACK MOB HAD NO CHOICE OTHER THAN TO BEAT THE MAN AND WOMEN SENSELESS. YOU CAN’T MAKE THIS SHIT UP!!!!

Hoot of the Day: Trump Asks Goldman to Replace Economist Over Tariff Stance – “All that can be said is Tariffs have not amounted to much price inflation yet. But most economists never expected an immediate reaction. As for “late stage”, Trump delayed tariffs so many times, this is early stage, not late stage. Front-running the tariffs was massive. Also, the irony is staggering. Trump warned the automakers, Amazon, and Walmart against raising prices. What does it say when you have to do that? Tariff Confusion – Who Pays the Tariff. Clever questioning forced Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent into admitting the truth. Unfortunately, the reporter needed one more follow-up question: Is Trump ignorant of how tariffs work or is he a liar? I would love to have heard and answer to that.” – Mish

Beef Prices Soar to All-Time High – “Beef prices surged to an all-time high in July as the market grappled with consistently strong demand and long-term issues in domestic production. Meanwhile, the price of ground beef and uncooked beef steaks has risen by 11.5 and 12.4 percent, respectively, both now at record levels. The rising cost of staple agricultural goods such as beef and eggs has put additional strain on Americans’ budgets this year. While the latter has moderated after breaking records in February, shrinking cattle herds continue to weigh heavily on the price of the former.” – Hugh Cameron

THE BIG PICTURE

TRUMP LOCKS-DOWN DC! CALLS IN THE NATIONAL GUARD. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING. (VIDEO) – “We’re going to cover what just happened in Washington DC. Basically being put under military control. Um the cause, well, President Trump is saying out of control crime. I want you to keep this in mind as we move forward through this. Washington DC is not even in the top 15 cities in this nation where there is supposedly out of control crime. So, the fact that DC has now been locked down under military control here, uh, the police being taken over by federal forces, uh, there’s something else going on here. Quite obviously, you got to be deaf, dumb, and blind not to see it. ” – Gregory Mannarino

How Cell Tower Radiation is Killing Our Trees… And What That Means For Human Health – “In cities worldwide, arborists and scientists have documented an odd phenomenon: trees with one side thriving and the other withering. The pattern is so consistent that it can be used to identify where nearby RF sources are located.” – Bill Heid

The new pending “plandemic” – is it scheduled for November? – “What it might involve and when it might be ‘declared’. A follower has been sending me assessments generated from Claude AI based on public data pertaining to genetically-modified (GM) mosquitoes and mosquito (vector)-borne viruses like chikungunya. Don’t you just love the hubris? This guy ghates thinks he can control complex vector-borne pathogen/mammal transmission routes with his GMO mossies with no downside. Sure. Cool story. There are three things to consider here: Chikungunya is not that bad of a virus if you’re healthy. This ghates-guided WEF playbook is tired so rest-assured, even if they do try out a new plandemic on November 25, 2025, you can ignore it and all imposed measures. If you do get bit, then of course, turmeric (greatest anti-inflammatory on the planet), lots of fluids, bone broth or chicken soup, and loads of Vitamin C and D. This isn’t medical advice – it’s common sense and what our moms always did for us when we were young with colds. Happy tyranny-fighting and stay healthy by getting back to being human.” – Jessica Rose

China CDC Engineered Chimeric Chikungunya Virus Vector Year Before Guangdong Outbreak: ‘Virology Journal’ – “Guangdong’s chikungunya outbreak spiked immediately after government mosquito-spraying campaigns—potentially echoing DARPA’s pre-COVID-19 pandemic aerosol release scenario.” – Jon Fleetwood

How Billionaires Who Sell to the U.S. Government Control the U.S. Government – “On 16 August 2021, Jon Schwarz, at The Intercept, headlined “$10,000 INVESTED IN DEFENSE STOCKS WHEN AFGHANISTAN WAR BEGAN NOW WORTH ALMOST $100,000: Was the Afghanistan War a failure?

King Trump Rules the World! – “He’s got the gold; he’s got the girls; he’s got the power, and he exacts vengeance on all of his enemies. He carries the cross like a scepter, sells his own Bible and coins his own national currency. Big changes. The kind Trump likes to make. Changes to muscle crime to the ground. But also big and intrusive federal government—the kind Republicans used to hate …” – David Haggith

Trump Takes Over DC – “Can President Trump Clean Up Washington’s Streets? For her part, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser struck the usual Democrat pose of “there’s nothing wrong here, Trump’s a liar, orange man bad blah blah blah,” calling Trump’s takeover “unsettling and unprecedented.” She is half right—Trump is the first President to invoke Section 740 of the District of Columbia Self-Government and Governmental Reorganization Act1 to federalize law enforcement in the nation’s capital.” – Peter Nayland Kust  -AS ALWAYS, PETER LOOKS AT THE FACTS!!!

The Art Of The D.C. Clean Up – “President Trump deserves immense credit for making sweeping changes to clean up the appearance of our nation’s capital. The reaction from some corners was immediate outrage—how dare the president flex federal muscle in the nation’s capital? But for those of us who have actually visited D.C. anytime recently, it’s hard not to think: finally. For too long, the capital of the United States—the city that houses the White House, Congress, and the Supreme Court—has looked less like the shining beacon of democracy and more like a live-action hellscape from a horror movie. Tourists and school trips meandering through downtown D.C. to learn about the history of our great nation are confronted with makeshift shantytowns, hypodermic needles and smells worse than J.B. Pritzker’s bathroom the morning after a long night at Big Ed’s Bar-B-Que.” – Quoth the Raven  – A GOOD CLEAN UP WAS PROBABLY NECESSARY, BUT AS MANY THINK WILL THIS GIVE RISE TO MORE OF A POLICE STATE, ESPECIALLY IF THEY START DOING THIS TO CITIES NATIONWIDE!!!

The fall of Rome 2.0 – “Life in the ruins of a civilization. a fair bit of europe, especially the south, has been in meaningful decline for decades. per capita GDP is shrinking. While western Europe stagnates, you can see the east exploding in growth. To be sure, some of this is because the base was so low after the ravages of Soviet rule, But in many such places the output is rising to rich-world levels. Poland is about to overtake Japan. (so is Lithuania). Europe is a lovely continent with many pleasant places to live and visit. In many regions, quality of life remains good. but for how long? ” – El Gato Malo

It’s As If Tomorrow Has Already Happened. Doom for Gazans. Doom for Israel. – “The Israelis are going to go into and occupy Gaza. They will mass murder, starve, and torture over a million more people to death, and either force a million more to flee or murder them as well. The same crimes will be repeated on the West Bank, albeit with less press and social media coverage, at least at first. North Americans and Europeans will grow more and more horrified(the rest of the world is already there), and that horror will turn to anger. Anger at Israel, anger at their own governments for doing nothing or far worse for far too long, anger at Jews in general. Anger that will force change. Change that will come too late for maybe two million people, but change nonetheless.” – Ohio Barbarian

Here’s why all the critics of Alaska summit are wrong – “Evading diplomacy is a Western folly that Russia has no reason to imitate” – Tarik Cyril Amar

Putin’s Meeting with Trump: The Triumph of Delusion Over Reality – “As far as I can tell, Trump is headed into a “historic meeting” with his Russian counterpart and still has no idea what Putin’s position is. Trump most recently spoke of a peace deal based on a “swapping of territories,” which Zelensky’s European supporters say must be a “reciprocal” swap of territory. Zelensky’s position is that all territory must be returned to Ukraine. Putin’s position is that all territory now incorporated into the Russian Federation must be accepted as Russian by Ukraine and the West. Otherwise, Russia has to repudiate its military victories in a war that was provoked by Washington. But the main problem with Trump’s approach is that he is thinking of the meeting in a very limited context of ending the military conflict with a land swap, whereas Putin wants a mutual security agreement with Washington and NATO that gets NATO off of Russia’s borders. The war that Putin wants to end is the West’s hostility toward Moscow. The war in Ukraine Russia can take care of.” – Paul Craig Roberts

The difference is, Russia is following international law, whereas Israel is breaking it.” – Simplicius

Over Half the US Has Major Stress Over the Price of Food – Mish

Key inflation rate shows biggest rise in 6 months, CPI shows, but Fed rate cut still appears in play – “Consumer prices have risen slightly due to tariffs” – Jeffry Bartash

Fed’s Nightmare: CPI Inflation in Core Services Worst in 6 Months, Pushing Core CPI to Worst in 6 Months. Some Goods Prices Fell, Others Rose – “The shocker for the 2nd month was the re-acceleration of inflation in core services, the biggie, accounting for 60% of overall CPI.” – Wolf Richter

Consumer Borrowing Continues to Sag Signaling Economic Pain on Main Street – “For the second straight month, consumer borrowing was weak, indicating Americans might be close to their credit limits. Over the last several months, credit card spending has dropped, signaling that Americans may be running out of borrowing power. This is bad news for an economy that depends on consumers buying stuff to stay afloat.” – Mike Maharrey

U.S. to Revalue Its Gold Reserves – “Some have speculated that this official revaluation will be utilized to pay down and retire some of the $37T in U.S. federal debt, and maybe it will. However, far more likely is a revaluation for the purpose of funding President Trump’s Sovereign Wealth and/or Bitcoin Reserve funds. Revaluing the official U.S. gold reserves from $42.22/ounce to the current market price of $3400 would “create” nearly $800B in what would be termed “debt neutral” cash, and that $800B would be used to finance Trump’s funds.” – Craig Hemke

Each metal has its own unique characteristics that make it appealing to investors, and the ones you choose depend on your preferences and financial goals.” – Peter Reagan  – IF YOUR PREFERENCE IS FOR WHEN THE SHTF AND THE ECONOMY COLLAPSES.
