THE BIG PICTURE

The Very Straight and the Very Narrow- “In the end, today’s youth seem to chase a script—degree, dollars, done—sticking to the straight and narrow like it’s a GPS route to success. Gone are the days of my youth, where we zigzagged through life, chasing passions over paychecks, art over algorithms. Sure, some still seek meaning, but they’re drowned out by the hum of formulas and filtered selfies.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

Riding the Wave AI, Inevitability, and Human Sovereignty – “I didn’t want to feed my soul into a machine. That was my first instinct when AI tools started appearing everywhere – not concern about jobs or privacy, but something deeper. These tools promise to make us smarter while systematically making us more dependent. After decades of working in the internet industry, I’d already watched it transform into something more insidious than just a surveillance machine – a system designed to shape how we think, what we believe, and how we see ourselves. AI felt like the culmination of that trajectory. But resistance became futile when I realized we’re already participating whether we know it or not.” – Joshua Stylman

Jesus’s Secret Sayings the Vatican Didn’t Want in the Bible – “Why Christianity’s Most Radical Text Was Buried for 1,600 Years. In 1945, a peasant digging for fertilizer near the Egyptian town of Nag Hammadi unearthed a collection of ancient texts that would shake the foundations of Christian scholarship. Among these manuscripts was a document that claimed to contain the secret sayings of Jesus, recorded by his brother Thomas. This wasn’t the Thomas we know from the canonical gospels, ‘Doubting Thomas’ who needed to touch Christ’s wounds. This was Judas Thomas Dydimos1, apostle, brother of Christ, and recorder of wisdom that the institutional church had buried beneath centuries of doctrine and hierarchy.” – The Wise Wolf

When Doctors Act like Devils – “This rush to betray scientific principles, medical ethics, and morality in the name of “trans” ideology eerily mirrors the medical industry’s support for abortion. After fifty years of covering up the harms women suffer from abortion procedures and a massive cultural-political campaign to celebrate the murder of babies as a “constitutional right,” it is rare to find anyone in the medical profession willing to stand up for the lives of the unborn. ” – J.B. Shurk

Color me shocked – “My big beef with the climate change crowd is that none of the models they’ve used to preach doom and gloom have panned out as they said they would. Not a single one. That’s actually kind of impressive, to say the least. The only other areas with such a track record are things like phrenology and Miasma Theory. And, for me, that’s enough. If they can’t get remotely accurate models, then it’s clear they don’t know enough about what’s going on for us to completely shatter our economy. But it seems that the failures don’t stop at predictions.” – Tom Knighton

Apocalypse, Inc. – “How the Guardian sells panic… and why you shouldn’t buy the propaganda or the publication. The MSM keeps turning climate risk into collapse porn. That’s not journalism; it’s an anxiety machine. Today’s case study: Bill McKibben’s new Guardian article” – Dr. Matthew Wielicki

The Main Enemy of Mankind Is the Mainstream Press – “Instead of truth, we are fed lies, propaganda, and when it comes to medicine, the press murders people without a second thought. Fear is their greatest weapon. The press thrives on anxiety, amplifying crises, predicting collapse, and then pointing to authority as the only savior. A fearful population is an obedient population. Look what the press did with COVID. The medical-industrial sector pretty much owns the press; thus, it is the media that props up medical and pharmaceutical terrorism. Hitler would envy the propaganda machine we now have barking out misinformation so many times a day that it’s enough to make anyone sick.” – Dr. Sircus

President Trump hosts Bill Gates at White House, giving him a platform to spout his evil aspirations for AI-driven digital dystopia – “After questioning Operation Warp Speed earlier this week, Trump invites Bill Gates to White House dinner and nods approvingly as Gates lays out dystopian vision for AI-controlled medical & food system” – Leo Hohmann

Dining With The Devils – “President Trump’s White House dinner on Thursday chilled me to the bone when I saw the list of all who attended. You could say that I was “mad as a wet hen.” It is a who’s who list of the billionaire technocrats who want to rule the world.” – Patti Johnson

Trump and Bill Gates ANNOUNCE THE BEAST SYSTEM!!! (VIDEO) – Jason A

Trump displays vast knowledge of vaccines after Kennedy Senate hearing and Florida canceling all mandates – “Many years ago, late-night doofus Jimmy Kimmel pushed vaccines on his show. The next day, I wrote, “Jimmy Kimmel knows as much about vaccines as an ant does about piloting a space ship.” (Kimmel read my comment on-air.) I would put Trump in the same category. Plus, he can’t distinguish between a mandate and a ban. Ending a forced mandate means people can choose. Sounds like he wants to make people take vaccines.” – Jon Rappoport

NEWS

Could Trump End Up Triggering The Globalist “Great Reset”? – “The news feeds were buzzing last week over the recent meeting between Russia, China and India at the Chinese port city of Tianjin. Western journalists seem rather giddy over the news, suggesting that Donald Trump’s tariff policies are pushing America’s enemies together and forming an anti-US axis. The political left hates Trump so completely that I wouldn’t be surprised to see them cheering for Putin and the BRICS in a year or two. News flash for those who are unaware: The BRICS have been forming their alliance since the Obama era. It’s nothing new and has nothing to do with Trump. In my view, globalists are not necessarily the “engineers” behind every conflict or crisis, but they do position themselves to take advantage whenever possible.” – Brandon Smith

Is Too Late to Establish a Department of Peace? – “Our waning and wanton superpower wields the world’s most expensive military, with the most expensive armaments. Washington, DC’s privilege, emerging technology, and newly assumed mantle of global mightiness fused like a bad weld in the 1947 National Security Act, producing a unleashable CIA and an unbounded and unhinged Department of Defense. It is right and proper that this permanent military bureaucracy be known as the Department of War. Everyone on the planet recognizes that it has not conducted defense one single day since its formation.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

3 strikes and you need to be out – ” Career criminality and the social contract. The psychotic rage loon who killed the innocent Ukrainian woman on the train? Yup, another frequent flyer.” – El Gato Malo

Our Nation Failed Iryna – “And in doing so, the mainstream media has solidified its irrelevance and demise. The fact that not a single major news outlet covered this gruesome murder—with the exception of Axios, which ran a piece that instead focused on surveillance cameras instead of the crime itself—is outrageous.” – Quoth the Raven

Days of Thunder – “That reckoning you’ve heard about lo these many years? It’s here now. We’re in it. You just can’t see all the moving parts, and if you did, you might not understand how or where they are moving, and what they are fixing to do next. Aside from certain US senators playing their pre-scripted mad scenes for the cameras, a disquieting quiet blankets the swamp like a miasma. It feels like a long, still moment before some shaking of the earth. Everyone senses it and the guilty must feel it most keenly. Hillary Clinton has been keeping her pie-hole closed for weeks now while rattling around that big house in Chappaqua, NY, like a BB in a packing crate. Is anyone counting the wine-boxes coming and going from the place? It must be maddening to be HRC — but that new extra edge of prosecution terror would just be larding the lily, considering what Vlad Putin learned about her mental state way back in 2016: deeply unstable. . .diabetic. . . on tranqs. . . often plastered. . . bursts of rage. . . .” – James Howard Kunstler

French PM Loses Confidence Vote, To Resign Tomorrow – Tyler Durden

The Word “Terrorist” Becomes More And More Of A Joke By The Day – “In the UK a terrorist is someone with a cardboard sign saying “I support Palestine Action”. In the US a terrorist is a Venezuelan suspected of drug trafficking. In Israel a terrorist is someone resisting occupation.” – Caitlin Johnstone

When The Pentagon Shifts Its Priorities Will U.S. Strategy Follow? Is this a sign of a shift in the global U.S. strategy? – “The National Defense Strategy (NDS) is written by the office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy which currently is held by arch-Realist Elbridge Colby. The draft of the new NDS seems to be a contradiction of his previous believes: Colby wants to change U.S. defense policy from concentrating on China, as he had previously argued, to the Western Hemisphere. He may have seen new facts that have moved his opinion. The failed attempt by the U.S. Navy to secure shipping through the Red Sea against attacks by Houthi in Yemen may have caused such rethink. As may have the loss of the US/NATO’s proxy war against Russia in Ukraine. Or did he compare videos of the ‘woke’ U.S. military parade in Washington DC (vid) earlier this year with the recent flawless one in China (vid)? The difference was indeed glaring. It demonstrated that the U.S. has no chance of winning in a war against China. Trump seems to concede that China is winning:” – Moon of Alabama

Trump Pivots to the ‘Homeland’: Neocon Deathblow? Or Simply Imperialism Repackaged? – Simplicius

Putin’s Master Plan For The Russian Arctic & Far East Will Speed Up The Global South’s Rise – “To begin with, he envisages these regions serving as industrial, logistics, and tech hubs due to their location and resources. Raw materials will fuel industry; rivers and new railways, seaports, and airports will facilitate logistics; and rare earths will drive tech.” – Andrew Korybko

ECONOMIC NEWS

August Employment Data: A Truth That Hurts – “No Golden Age For American Workers” – Peter Nayland Kust

Is the U.S. Rolling Over Into Recession Right Here and Now? – “The August jobs numbers were a disaster. On Friday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that the U.S. added only 22,000 jobs in the month of August. To put this into perspective, Wall Street expected job growth of 75,000 for the month. So, this was a massive miss. And it confirms what I’ve been saying for months: that the labor market is beginning to fall apart. Unfortunately, the reality is much worse than the official numbers claim. Indeed, once we strip the jobs number of the various gimmicks the BLS uses to “smooth over” the data, the economic reality is disastrous.” – Graham Summers, MBA

It Is “The Toughest Time In Years” To Be Looking For A Job In The U.S. – One 64-Year-Old Man Has Been Waking Up At 3 AM To Search For Work And Can’t Find Anything – Michael Snyder

Central Planning is the Problem – “It seems damn obvious that neither Jay Powell, Donald Trump, the 12 geniuses on the FOMC, nor any other set of Washington apparatchiks should be setting interest rates. That’s a job tailor-made for millions of players on the free market without any help, nudges, guidance, or big fat thumb on the supply/demand scale by the central bank.” – David Stockman

When Politics And Markets Collide – Look The Other Way! – Bill Blain

Scenario of a Triple Whammy for Long-Term Treasury Yields – “The Treasury market counts on the tariffs to slow the supply of new debt and could throw a hissy-fit if they end while the Fed cuts rates into accelerating inflation.” – Wolf Richter

Electricity Costs Are Soaring and AI Will Make Matters Worse – “Electricity demand for AI data centers is soaring. The result won’t be pretty.” – Mish

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

LEAVE The CITY While You STILL CAN! Off Grid (VIDEO) with Joel Salatin – Canadian Prepper

Food Storage Methods Across Cultures – “Before electricity, survival demanded skill, planning, and old-world ingenuity. Across different times and places, people learned how to store food through winter, drought, or disaster without relying on refrigeration. Native American tribes, early American pioneers, and today’s Amish communities all developed techniques to preserve food that still work for modern preppers.” – Alec Deacon
