THE BIG PICTURE
Of Course He Did . . . – “Donald Trump just got his latest “COVID” shot. This indicates he still believes that these shots are vaccines – which is not far-removed from believing in Yogic Flying. (Just believe hard enough and you’ll fly!) It’d be funny were it not for what it implies about Trump’s views regarding these drugs, which he has steadfastly refused to repudiate and implicitly endorses by taking them (assuming he actually did take them; it’s possible it’s all for show). If the president takes these drugs, then what does the president think about those who prefer not to? Probably that they’re “losers” and “stupid.”” – Eric Peters
The Proverbial Calm Before the Storm! – “To attempt to describe today’s madness as calm, will sound to most like the blind leading the blind, but in this case, it may be much more prescient than imagined. I say this due to the seemingly constant states of change, and the elimination of thought, discussion, and reporting about each claimed ‘catastrophic’ or ‘emergency’ event shortly after its open and blatant media exposure. This tactic only leads to another event in a string of confusing anomalies meant to distract and cover for the last. In simple terms, what I am describing here is the ‘art’ of contradiction upon contradiction, all leading to a pre-planned end suitable and desired only by the oligarchic and technocratic ruling class. While there are many examples of this plotted outcome, the Charley Kirk incident is the most glaring and latest in a string of events that are widely and prolifically covered, and then over a very short period of time, begin to disappear from view by most all mainstream and much of the alternative reporting. This actually works well for the rulers because the memory of common people is about as long as yesterday.” – Gary D. Barnett
Use Your Head, Not Your Fists – “We live in an era where revenge and retaliation enjoy wide ranging approval and justification. When “FAFO” finds its way into our government’s official discourse, it is fair to say we live in an era where the ancient Biblical doctrine of “an eye for an eye” is very popular. We therefore need to reflect regularly upon Jesus’ counsel during the Sermon on the Mount to “turn the other cheek.”” – Peter Nayland Kust
Your Guide To A World On Fire (2025 Edition) – “If you’ve been paying any attention at all to world events, you’ll have noticed something remarkable recently. Fiery, youth-led protests are threatening the government in country after country. What on earth is going on here? Ultimately, I think the unrest we are seeing right now is the inevitable result of the “Chaos Out of Order“ strategy I’ve identified in the past. The New World Order can’t be ushered in until the Old World Order has been swept out, so the disintegration of society is in fact a necessary part of this transitional moment” – James Corbett
Geoengineering Watch Global Alert News, October 11, 2025 (VIDEO) – “The manipulators of the matrix have churned up a scapegoat to blame the catastrophic Palisades Fire on to distract from the climate engineering elephant in the equation.

NEWS
Communists Ruling American Empire – “The Flip Flop King has just discovered that countries hit with the heaviest tariffs are aligning their trade with alternative markets further inflating the cost of US goods! As a direct result of Trump’s egregious tariff assertions, BRICS are doing exactly what would be predictable – forming new alliances. Trump was told China was the instigator and has thus imposed 100% Tariffs on China – further exasperating the situation for AMERICA – LAST. Wrong Move.” – Helena Glass

China’s Had Enough… Xi Calls Trump’s Bluff – “Donald Trump and the citizens of the US are about to learn some very hard, costly lessons. If you’re going to get into a trade war with another country, you should be sure that you control or have access to all the critical minerals and resources you need to produce essential items, such as weapons, drones or prescription drugs. Trump and his team failed to understand this critical issue and have now provoked China into a trade war that the US cannot win.” – Larry C. Johnson

Last week, the United States government sent $230 million in military aid to the Lebanese Army. This enormous weapons package was green lit with one objective: to dismantle Hezbollah as a force capable of resisting Israeli attacks.” – Mnar Adley
America First? Hegseth Announces Qatar To Build Air Force Facility Deep In US Heartland – “Until now, there is no foreign military base on American soil – only “joint training programs” or facilities where foreign pilots might have a semi-permanent presence under a US training program. But the first to build one will be an Arab Gulf Sunni Monarchy? A key question remains: will the Qataris be able to treat it as sovereign Qatari soil? As for this new Qatari Air Force facility, we wonder what ordinary red-blooded Idahoans think of this permanent Arab military presence in their own backyard.” – Tyler Durden
From the Back Forty: Heartlanders React to the Left Praising Trump – “The Middle East gets a breather while Americans keep the warring factions entertained.” – Sarah Cowgill
Vivek Ramaswamy Explains America to Legacy Americans – “In a full face of conspicuous make-up rendering him three shades lighter than normal, current candidate for Ohio governor Vivek Ramaswamy took the stage at a Montana State University Turning Point USA to offer legacy Americans a lecture on the defining characteristics of the country his parents immigrated in the 1970s: Aside from the littering of platitudes, that’s arguably a decent speech on lofty American values — one of praise that, to be fair, one would never get from anyone on the left. However, note that at no point does Ramaswamy mention what the nation-state of America is at its base, which is actually a collection of people who live in America, otherwise known as Americans.” – Ben Bartee

Markets Rebound As Vance Plays Good Cop; Says ‘Willing To Be Reasonable’ With China – “TACO trade is back… Who could have seen this coming? After President Trump (perhaps unexpectedly) caused a shitstorm in markets on Friday with his threats against China, it appears the scale of the carnage required ‘good cop’ VP Vance to calm the waters before futures open tonight.” – Tyler Durden

Storm Clouds – “The stock market is a lot trickier than the earth-bound weather. Here in Ireland, a meteorologist can look into the North Atlantic and see the storms coming days… even weeks… ahead of time. In the markets, on the other hand, we only see the storms after they’ve passed. Then, we’re able to say…‘I told you so.’ Of course, we never know what will happen, but if ever you wanted to say ‘I told you so,’ this is probably a good time to set it up. Sooner or later, the stock market bubble has to deflate.” – Bill Bonner
The Great Gold Repricing Has Only Just Begun – “Bloomberg says gold is rallying, but I see something deeper: Not emotion, but acceptance. As central banks continue their gold buying spree and silver nears $50, we may be witnessing not a rally – but a global repricing of risk itself… ” – Peter Reagan
Is the Bull Market Over? – “While yesterday’s sell off was ugly, there were multiple warnings that stocks were due for a pullback. For one thing, the S&P 500 has been in a confirmed uptrend for over 110 days. That is an EXTREMELY long period of time and highly unusual. Historically there have only been 12 such instances since the S&P 500 was introduced in 1957. So this was a major warning that stocks were due for a pullback. On top of this, high yield credit had begun to break down” – Graham Summers, MBA
Big Government, No Growth. The Implosion of Statism. – “Rising government spending and public debt create economic stagnation and declining living standards. Many citizens believe that the state will give them prosperity and equality. However, the state only makes paper promises by issuing debt, creating a constantly depreciated currency. Taxpayers are constantly expropriated, while the recipients of subsidies become a dependent subclass. Who wins? Bureaucrats. Deficit spending is not a tool for growth. It erodes prosperity, creates persistent secular stagnation, real wage growth decline, and poor productivity growth.” – Daniel Lacalle
The Crisis of the American Tax State – “The US Is a Tax State But first: what is a tax state exactly? 1. Centralization: taxes are directly imposed by the central government. 2. Unilateral power: The central government can raise taxes unilaterally. 3.The central government freely decides how revenues are spent. 4. Taxes are not fees or a payment for a service. ” – Ryan McMaken

The transition from fall to winter demands more than a clothing swap—it’s a complete mindset shift from flexibility to fortification. When temperatures plummet and storms roll in, small oversights can quickly turn deadly.” – denob
