THE BIG PICTURE

Amazon Web Services Cloud that Stores the CIA’s Data Goes Down and Takes Much of the Internet Down as Well – “While AWS initially said the problem was related to a DNS (Domain Name System) issue that they had fixed, the outages have continued and AWS is now looking at other problems. What is rather amazing, so far, is that the corporate media, in unison, is either not even exploring the possibility that this is a cyberattack, or they are downplaying it, saying that it is “unlikely”, without giving any reason why they believe that. So I will speculate about the possibility that this is a cyberattack.” – Brian Shilhavy

The Day the Internet Went Dark – “Our ancestors had backup mules. We have Downdetector and Grok. Apparently Amazon Web Services—the invisible scaffolding propping up half the modern world with its cloud services—had had what tech experts sometimes refer to as a moment. Well into the afternoon, the internet itself seemed to forget how to internet. Snapchat snapped. Apple Music went mute. Netflix chilled—alone. Influencers were forced to wear ‘fits and eat meals nobody would ever see. Banks, airlines, and cryptocurrency exchanges froze like deer in Alexa’s headlights. It was the digital equivalent of the planet’s mom yanking the Wi-Fi router out of the wall and announcing, “It’s family time!” Tech analysts say this is what happens when the internet—originally designed to survive even if individual parts of it went down—now runs almost entirely through a few server farms the size of Rhode Island. It’s like wiring every traffic light, pacemaker, and espresso machine to a single power strip—and then hoping nobody powers the hair dryer and the International Space Station at the same time.” – Jenna McCarthy

YOU NEVER HEAR OF A GOOD FLU SEASON!!!!

What Are The Chances Of A Food Stamp Collapse In November? – “A classic saying among preparedness experts in the US is that America is capable of weathering many crises, but when the food stamps shut down all bets are off. In other words, when the free stuff army loses their handouts, that’s when all hell breaks loose. The US government spends over $100 billion on SNAP programs every year; the largest single food welfare project in the world. It’s difficult to predict what an end to SNAP might look like. It really depends on Democrats. A number of economists are warning that the nation’s largest “anti-hunger program” has a contingency fund of about $6 billion, but November benefits are expected to total around $8 billion. The USDA’s shutdown plan noted that funding is available in the event of a lapse, but if the current conditions hold, SNAP would ostensibly run out of cash in early November. ” – Tyler Durden

The Charlie Kirk Hysteria Is a Blueprint for Future Political Chaos – “Despite their stark differences, both partisan reactions stemmed from deeply held beliefs expressed with intense emotion. Many of these beliefs concerned the biggest threats facing the United States. The mainstream right-wing reaction generally reflected a narrative familiar to their worldview: the evil left killed Charlie Kirk. Meanwhile, left-wing indifference and celebration reflected their worldview: that Charlie Kirk was a Nazi, and MAGA is largely a collection of evil fascists. The reactions to the assassination have settled down—for now. But the collective reactivity it triggered is cause for both concern and curiosity and applies to far more than his murder.” – Carey Wedler

NEWS

The West Conquers Itself – ““Divide and rule” tactics are as old as human conflict. Instead of building consensus among the members of a tribe or nation, rulers exacerbate grievances that exist between social groups. By doing so effectively, a military or political leader with only minority support can maintain control over a much larger group of people who refuse to work together. Julius Caesar used this strategy to conquer Gaul. Modern Western politics is an endless “divide and rule” operation. Rarely do political leaders speak in terms that will unite strong majorities of their peoples. “‘ – J.B. Shurk

American Imperialism Explodes again as History Starts to Rhyme in South America – “The president even placed himself as a king inside a fighter jet to make it clear where he is headed, after also posting something like 90,000 more years of Trump!” – David Haggith

Will Trump Quit Chasing Optics—In Favor of Substance? – “As readers know, I’m no fan of Trump—but I need to follow the facts. Though I plan to eviscerate him over Thomas Massie and the murder of untold women and children, and, being nothing be a pirate/murderer of Venezuelan fishermen, Trump may yet pull us back from nuclear war. Historically, Obama (as much as I detest the man), corrected Anthony Blinkin (who was part of his entourage), to desist with the notion that given the right weapons, Ukraine was capable of defeating Russia. Obama was intelligent enough to see a fact. Then, Blinkin became the SEC/State under Biden and he shifted back to his earlier notion that UKR could take on and defeat Russia. Sleepy Joe bought into that notion.” -Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

Trump’s White House Demolition Is the Perfect Symbol of His Presidency – “On Monday, construction crews began tearing into the East Wing of the White House. The demolition marked the start of President Donald Trump’s long-promised “State Ballroom” — a 90,000-square-foot addition he approved and announced without waiting for the usual review process. The federal commission that oversees major White House projects, the National Capital Planning Commission, had not yet signed off on the ballroom’s construction plans. In any other administration, this would be a scandal. In Trump’s case, it’s a governing principle.” – Colby Hall

How To Elect a Girlboss Governor – “Comrades: Democrat girlboss governors will destroy your state – unless you vote. On November 4, Virginia and New Jersey will elect new governors. Democrats Abigail Spanberger (VA) and Mikie Sherrill (NJ) are the frontrunners. They are manchurian candidate clones grown in the DNC.AWFL.PMC.NPC.AI lab. Both regurgitate the same Kamala-style word salads. Both platforms are copy pasta: orange man bad, abortions good, sanctuary state, climate hysteria, protect LGBTQ+ trans kids. Both pushed masks, school closures, and jab mandates during COVID.” – Yuri Bezmenov

Defending the National Guard – “The Guard Shouldn’t Be Used in Undeclared Foreign Wars. Nor Should It Be Subject to the Whims of a Vainglorious and Unstable President” – Bill Astore

You Are Being Lied To About ICE – “Under Obama, stories such as these were barely covered by the mainstream news. When ICE made mistakes under Obama, they were treated as just that, mistakes, not signs of malicious intent. Democrats might have grumbled now and again. But they never claimed Obama was terrorizing the country. Never said ICE was “invading” their communities. Never called it authoritarianism. So why are they – and their legions of mindless followers – doing so now? The one and only reason is that Trump – not Obama – is in the White House, and Democrats want to portray everything Trump does as a sign that he’s a scary authoritarian. Even the claim that there’s been a massive surge in deportations under Trump is wildly misleading, because the comparison is always to the Biden administration – which did nothing – not to Obama (who was once called the “deporter in chief”) or George W. Bush before him.” – I & I Editorial Board

Black Fatigue in a Zionist World – “The monsters in our midst. Bluntly stated, those of us who aren’t “African-American” are saddled with a minority group that we cannot help but interact with at times. This group, although only about 12 percent of the population, is a very loud demographic, and their concerns and alleged mistreatment at the hands of the other 88 percent of the people is drummed into our heads continuously by what Donald Trump has christened the Fake News.” – Donald Jeffries

Can the Trump-Putin Meeting in Hungary Succeed? – “The meeting between Trump and Putin in Hungary, assuming the pre-meeting negotiations between the envoys of the two presidents get that far, is likely the last chance for peace instead of war. An agreement between the two presidents will require large adjustments in position for one or the other or both. Either Trump would have to understand and accept that the solution is to get NATO off of Russia’s border and agree to a mutual security agreement between Russia and the West, or Putin would have to give up his goal of a mutual security agreement that brings an end to hostility, sanctions, and ceaseless provocations of Russia.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Fuel shortages in Russia is the price Moscow pays to remain the world’s moral superpower – “It’s a well-known fact that Moscow has a moral duty to supply subsidized energy to countries openly hostile to Russia, so why are gasoline-starved Russians complaining?” – Edward Slavsquat / Riley Waggaman

Media Reveals Trump’s Private ‘Inversion’ of Ukraine War Beliefs – Simplicius

Merkel Is Half-Right & Half-Wrong About Who’s Responsible For The Ukrainian Conflict – “The US was most responsible for the Ukrainian Conflict by refusing to reach a compromise with Russia for defusing their security dilemma, but Germany deserves as much blame as Poland and the Baltic States, perhaps even more because it was the EU’s de facto leader at the time.” – Andrew Korybko

Gaza ceasefire is an illusion – starvation and killings still continuing – “Just how much of what we see in mainstream media about Gaza is the real story? Actually none of it is true as the bigger, darker game being played is all about preparing for a war with Iran.” – Martin Jay

Israel’s Untold Environmental Genocide – “On September 23rd, the UN published a little-noticed report highlighting a barely-acknowledged facet of the 21st century Holocaust in Gaza. Namely, the Zionist entity’s genocide is wreaking a devastating environmental toll not merely on occupied Palestine, but West Asia more widely – including Israel. The damage is incalculable, with air, food sources, soil, and water widely polluted, to a fatal extent” – Kit Klarenberg

The Great Global Melt Up is Not Over… Yet – “The Great Global Melt Up is taking a breather… but do NOT mistake this breather/ correction for the end. Globally, the world is awash is too much debt. The US has a Debt to GDP ratio of 120%. Europe is ~100%, though numerous large countries (France, Italy, Spain) are well over that. Japan has a Debt to GDP of 200%. And even China has a Debt to GDP ratio of 120% when you include local government debt that is typically kept off the national balance sheet calculations. Put simply, for 50+ years, ever since the world ended the Gold Standard, governments have engaged in a massive debt binge. And there is no way they can ever pay this back.” – Graham Summers, MBA

Who’s Selling Today, and Selling What… Metal or Paper? Journalists won’t ask! – “Market analysts are searching for an explanation for today’s bombing of gold and silver prices. Unfortunately, this search will not extend to the connections between central banks, bullion banks, and their daily and usually surreptitious interventions in the markets, both buying and selling, to defend their currencies against market forces. But who knows and will report which entities were selling today, and exactly what they were selling — real metal or paper derivatives? What journalist will telephone a central bank or a bullion bank with an inconvenient question and report his inability to get an answer?” – Chris Powell

But here’s the catch: most commercial “instant eggs” you find online are loaded with anti-caking agents, preservatives, and fillers.

Call To Faith, Call To Fellowship – “Popularity does not make my witness true. If I am genuinely inspired and moved by the Holy Spirit, my witness is true, and my words are true, even if nobody likes them. This much is certain: no one reaches any destination by straying from the path. The rewards of faith we are taught are great, but we cannot hope to gain those rewards if we abandon faith. Faith is hard, faith is a daily challenge, yet to give up on faith is to give up on the rewards for faith. Am I wrong for believing that faith will be rewarded? Scripture teaches that the rewards for faith are beyond measure. To reject the premise that faith is rewarded is to reject Scripture.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Slow Drift to New Norms – “The agenda moves so slowly that everything they are bucking for will eventually be fact, but no one will think it the least bit odd. It’s like a foxtail slowly digging its way under an unsuspecting dog’s skin, causing serious infection, with the poor animal having no clue it is even there. I actually do not think a person has to be acutely observant to notice; most people do not notice slow change because they have been successfully trained not to. This has been the nature of the psyops brainwashing, indoctrination, and techniques seen in the schooling of our children and also prevalent in the media.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

California’s Central Valley stretches 450 miles through the heart of the state. Drive down Interstate 5 and you’ll pass endless fields of lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, broccoli. This isn’t farmland. It’s a single point of failure disguised as pastoral abundance. Ninety-two percent of America’s broccoli grows here. Over half our vegetables. Three-quarters of our fruits and nuts. When you open your refrigerator on the East Coast, you’re looking at California’s dirt, California’s water, California’s vulnerability. The FBI knows it. Al Qaeda’s training manuals mentioned it. Federal reports spell it out in bureaucratic prose that somehow makes it worse: “U.S. agriculture is vulnerable to agroterrorism because of the relative ease with which highly contagious diseases can be introduced.” But here’s what keeps security analysts awake at night. You don’t even need to be sophisticated.” – The Wise Wolf

The New Mandarinate – “CCP influence in the UK. From 2006-2017 including when the WHO changed the definition of ‘pandemic’ and oversaw the swine flu episode, it was under the leadership of Margaret Chan, a Hong Kong born Canadian doctor. She was openly backed by Beijing and after 2006, the WHO began shifting closer to China’s interests. That change in tone set the stage for what followed. China later lobbied hard for the installation of Dr Tedros Ghebreyseus as the first Director General of the WHO with no medical qualification in 2017. In 2023, the WHO proposed a new Pandemic Treaty and amendments to the International Health Regulations. Although later watered down, these show an intent for the WHO having unprecedented power and it seems reasonable to be concerned that there will be mission creep over time. The machinery for control is now built. Any virus will be the least of our worries.” – Clare Craig

Another Regime-Change War Is Coming – “Whether he has done so wittingly or unwittingly, President Trump has backed himself into a corner with respect to Venezuela.  Trump has now effectively committed himself to initiating a regime-change war against Venezuela. Everyone should now brace himself for what is coming — another in a long line of foreign regime-change undeclared wars of aggression in violation of the U.S. Constitution and the principles set forth at Nuremberg. After all, Trump knows that if he backs down now Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro will crow about how he forced the all-powerful ruler of the United States to back down and return his military forces to the United States. There is no way that Trump can now permit himself to go down that road. From his own personal perspective, he cannot be seen as being “weak.”” – Jacob G. Hornberger

With gold now over $4,300 per ounce, he’s traded his hobbies of snowboarding, skiing, and dirt biking, for prospecting. He’s hoping to make big bucks. In fact, Hewlett recently extracted a chunk of gold about half the size of his pinkie fingernail out of the dirt in the forested Mount Shasta area. “I was jumping all around like you see in cartoons and stuff,” he said. When he later weighed his find, he discovered it was worth $175. Like past gold rushes, the real path to making money comes from selling picks and shovels.

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

Seems I’ve got to have a change of scene
Cause every night I have the strangest dream
Imprisoned by the way it couldn’t be
Left here on my own or so it seems
I’ve got to leave before I start to scream
But someone’s locked the door and took the key

Ya feelin’ alright?
I’m not feelin’ too good myself
Well, ya feelin’ Alright?
I’m not feelin’ too good myself

Well boy you sure took me for one big ride
And even now I sit and wonder why
That when I think of you I start to cry
I just can’t waste my time I must keep dry
Got to stop believin’ in all your lies
Cause there’s too much to do before I die

Ya feelin’ alright?
I’m not feelin’ too good myself
Well, ya feelin’ alright?
I’m not feelin’ too good myself

Don’t get too lost in all I say
Like the time I really felt that way
But that was then and now it’s today
Can’t get off yet and so I’m here to stay
Till’ someone comes along and takes my place
With a different name, yes, and a different face

Ya Feelin’ alright?
I’m not feelin’ too good myself
Well, ya feelin’ alright?
I’m not feelin’ too good myself

THE BIG PICTURE

Big Banks Prepare for Compliance Based Currency (VIDEO) – ” As Michael Rivero famously said, all wars are banker’s wars. The first Bank of the United States was chartered in 1791 and favored foreign stockholders over Americans. The charter ended in January of 1811, followed by the War of 1812, and the establishment of the Second Bank of the United States in 1816, which gave more power to the Bank of England. Andrew Jackson successfully killed the bank’s renewal and shortly after became the first U.S. president targeted for assassination. Laws were passed in the early 1860s for the U.S. government to issue its own currency in a value-based economy as opposed to the debt-based system imposed by central banks. In 1913, the tyrannical Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Income Tax was born. The two world wars brought Germany under the heel of the central banking cartel. Western banking institutions financed the Bolshevik Revolution. In 2000, Iraq stopped selling its oil in Federal Reserve notes. In 2003, Iraq was illegally invaded by the United States, and dollar-based oil sales were reinstated. In Libya, Muammar Gaddafi’s gold dinar currency was making the nation rich. In 2011, the US invaded and reverted Libya’s oil sales to dollars. Digital ID, social credit scores, and a carbon tax is what the bankers are up to now. And everything else is a distraction. ” – Greg Reese

TikTok is now under control of Israel (to quell criticism of Israel at Trump’s insistence). Sadly, American is being taken over.

Where’s DOGE? – “Does anyone remember the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)? More finely, does this “department” even exist anymore? The silence ism as the saying goes, deafening. Elon Musk – the head of this department for a few months of show – has gone quietly into that good night, along with the dangled-for-the-dupes $5,000 “rebate” check Americans were led to believe they were going to get that would be financed by all the savings DOGE would realize. Does anyone remember? It is apparently easier to forget – like rape and other iterations of abuse. People put it out of their minds because dealing with it is too traumatic. Instead, Americans are getting $4,200 per ounce gold – which would be fine if Americans had any gold. Most do not. Instead, they are getting a slowly elaborating police state, with Trump as its jefe – decreeing the deployment of the military internally. Some of the dupes approve of this because they do not think “the troops” would ever be used against them. Israel is now first rather than America”‘ – Eric Peters

The BritCard Psyop: What Is True Digital ID in the UK? – “The proposed rollout of the so-called BritCard is a bait-and-switch psychological operation (psyop). The evident purpose is to frame the debate about digital ID in the UK by fundamentally misrepresenting what digital ID is. People often say “if you don’t have anything to hide what’s the problem?” There is no rational argument for allowing people you don’t know and have never met to have any power to control your life. The “nothing to hide” mantra is based on the historically illiterate assumption that you will never have anything to fear from authority. To offer this argument as a reason to adopt digital ID is so naive we might call it stupid.” – Iain Davis  – IAN HAS WRITTEN SEVERAL GOOD ARTICLES ABOUT THIS. SOME HAVE BEEN LINKED PREVIOUSLY.

No Kings Redux: Heavy Is the Head Obsessed With Imaginary Crowns – “Court jesters and drama queens. The wait is over. Time to break out the Trump baby balloons, grab a mask, pick a slogan, and think inside the box – the No Kings protests are back. Rehearse the script, cue the delusions, and prepare to spread the message: “America has no kings.” Wait, most people already know that. Why the fuss? It seems numerous Americans firmly believe President Donald Trump is an authoritarian leader on the brink of coronation and that parading the streets while holding signs and shouting Dr. Seuss–like slogans will stop his spurious fascism. Never mind that he won the popular vote in 2024 and was elected president.” – Corey Smith

“No Kings” To Be The Latest Escalation In Democrat Rebellion – “Plans Are For Violence, Not Peaceable Assembly. The Democratic Party has made clear their political platform: Insurrection, Rebellion, Sedition. What else are we to think when the organizers for this weekend’s “No Kings” rally are actively preparing for violence, bloodshed, and even a few casualties?” – Peter Nayland Kust

“Fueled By Billionaires”: No Kings Prepares Color-Revolution-Style Mobilization Against Trump – “The Democratic Party’s dark-money NGO network, bankrolled by left-wing billionaires, is reportedly preparing to activate a coordinated, color-revolution-style mobilization across the U.S. this weekend – a replay of failed agitation attempts seen earlier this year targeting President Trump and Elon Musk. The operation, marketed under the “No Kings” banner and portrayed publicly as a grassroots movement, in reality functions as a professionalized protest-industrial complex. Its composition includes a blend of paid activists, white boomers suffering from Stage 4 Trump Derangement Syndrome, and a smaller contingent of organic, unhinged leftists who recite MSNBC talking points by heart. ” – Tyler Durden  – TWO FROM TYLER!!!

No Kings Kicks Off Across Country As States Prepare For Violence – “The events are supposed to be peaceful and lawful, but stick around – we’ll be watching throughout the day while these future rocket scientists get their wiggles out. A similar protest in June descended into political violence. ” – Tyler Durden

Democrats Are Openly Committing Insurrection – “Why are they not arrested? we are witnessing the Democrat mayors and governors in open insurrection against the federal government’s attempts to deport illegals, immigrant-invaders that the Democrats intentionally imported into America by refusing to defend US borders. Democrat mayors and governors have encouraged violence against federal officials and passed state and local laws to prevent the enforcement of federal law. The Democrat judges, mayors, governors and city councils are openly in insurrection. The evidence comes out of their own mouths and is in their own actions. Why are these Democrat Insurrectionists not indicted? Why isn’t Trump at home dealing with America’s problems instead of abroad dealing with Israel’s? Why is President Trump evading the real issue? It is the Democrats who are in insurrection, not the illegal aliens.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Chaos and Disorder Prohibited by National Guard ( with VIDEO ) – “The party of chaos and disorder is furious that the National Guard has been restoring peace to US cities. Every metric has shown crime significantly plummeting in every area where the National Guard has been stationed. American citizens are safe; the military is protecting those abiding by the law. Yet, those like Obama are spinning the story to portray a ruthless dictator unleashing the military against their own people.” – Martin Armstrong

The American Brownshirts Are Here – “They Want to Overthrow the U.S. Government. ANTIFA and their supporters fancy themselves to be noble freedom fighters in the mold of Mahatma Gandhi, but their violent rhetoric and actions betray them. They are 2025 America’s version of Hitler’s Brownshirts. They protest not for peace and goodness, but for the advancement of criminality, chaos, and corruption.” – Jim McCraigh

Trump’s War Against ‘Left-leaning’ Groups Extends Further – “There are a number of indicators which lets one predict that the Trump administration, during the next election, will use government forces to severely attack and disrupt all opposition to it. Trump has send the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents into the cities to harass and arrest alleged illegal immigrants. Due cause is disregarded and the methods used by the agents are brutal. Trump has also sent National Guard troops into cities where, he claimed, riots were taking place. There were no riots or ‘terrorist incidents’ but the presence of troops is used to create a militarized atmosphere.” – Moon of Alabama

Authority- The Key Issue Of Our Time The Loss Of Elite Legitimacy Reframed As The People’s Lack Of Trust In Democracy – “By pointing the finger at the threat posed by authoritarian populists, representatives of the legacy elites seek to scapegoat their opponents for the problem of their own making. They also create a climate of fear that is hospitable for the promotion of policies that can be used to repress their political opponents. Hysterical claims about about disinformation by foreign agents serve as a justification for attempts to delegitimate democratic decision making. That why what we need is more and not less democracy.” – Frank Furedi

They Said The Massacres Would Stop When The Hostages Were Released. They Haven’t Stopped. – “Israel’s genocidal intent has been on full display every minute of every day, and it continues to be even during this joke of a “ceasefire” where the genocide was theoretically supposed to be on pause for a little while. On Friday Israel reportedly blew up a vehicle carrying a Palestinian family of eleven people, including seven children. The IDF gave its usual excuse for the massacre: the civilians were deemed to have crossed an invisible line into a forbidden zone which made the Israeli soldiers feel unsafe. They did this exact same thing constantly during the last “ceasefire” as well.” – Caitlin Johnstone

And before we shrug it off, we need to consider that regional banks: Have over $5 TRILLION in U.S. deposits. Account for 50% of all industrial/ commercial loans in the US. Originate 80% of all mortgages. Account for 45% of all personal loans. Put simply, this is NOT a small, insignificant industry. ” – Graham Summers, MBA

How America’s Paper-Money System and the Federal Reserve Plunder American Taxpayers – “There is the plunder and looting that takes place through the simple inflationary expansion of the money supply. By inflating the amount of money in circulation, the Fed reduces the value of money sitting in people’s savings accounts or that they receive in income. Their savings and income buy less than before simply because the federal government, through its inflationary policy, has debased the value of money. This is what has been occurring ever since the U.S. government converted to a paper-money standard during the President Franklin Roosevelt administration during the 1930s. Prior to that time — in fact, for more than 125 years prior to that time — the official money of the American people had been gold coins and silver coins.” – Jacob G. Hornberger

By Looking to Past and Present, What Lies Directly in Front of You Should Never Be Ignored – “Aah, one would think it must be terribly troubling to be exposed to the truth that humans have continually since the ‘birth’ of man, remained in a vacuum of ignorance, never once relying on past and present historical fact to adapt, change course, and rely on simple logic, reasoning, moral observance, and courage in order to go forward instead of remaining in a state of perpetual intellectual stagnation.” – Gary D. Barnett

Fractured Inheritance – “Gen X’s Furious Reckoning. We didn’t just slouch into this godforsaken world—we crashed it like unwanted bastards at a dysfunctional family reunion, reeking of cigarette smoke and quiet contempt. Generation X, the cursed thirteenth tribe, spat out in the choking haze of disco’s final, pathetic death throes and the first ominous fissures spiderwebbing across the empire’s crumbling facade. We were the latchkey orphans, pockets stuffed with rusty switchblades and veins pumping pure, unfiltered skepticism, raised in the dim glow of flickering cathode-ray tubes and the acrid stench of broken homes” – E.M.

The planet’s self-appointed mall cop—armed with the authority of a small army and the competence of a toddler with a clipboard—will be meeting in London today to vote on what amounts to a global climate tax, targeting emissions from the shipping industry that powers 90% of world trade.

Most Of The Population Of The World Lives In A Nation Where Christians Are Being Persecuted – “There are about 8 billion people living in our world today, and well over half of them live in a country where Christians are being persecuted. Of course that would come as quite a shock to the vast majority of the Christians that are living in the western world, because they never hear much about the nightmarish things that are being done to Christians in nations such as China, India, Nigeria, Pakistan and North Korea. Globally, the persecution of Christians is getting worse with each passing year, but since the mainstream media mostly ignores what is going on most of us just assume that it really isn’t a big deal.” – Michael Snyder

Insurrection Anyone? – “Tomorrow, Saturday, October 18, you might have heard, is this year’s culminating “No Kings” protest demo all over the land. Deep down, they don’t really know who to blame. Something has gone wrong in this country. But their placards said “Resist.” Resist what? We asked. Trump, of course. Trump, Trump, Trump, we go a’marchin’. He’s Stealing our democracy! Meaning: Trump is the one responsible for our country’s decades-long descent into economic failure, political animus, and social degeneracy. You had to wonder who is paying them to yell an empty slogan that Nancy Pelosi has repeated a million times. We are going to find out. Don’t be surprised if tomorrow’s “No Kings” demo descends into violence, arson, and looting. The Democratic Party needs this to happen so it can provoke the president to invoke the Insurrection Act, so they can label him “Hitler” again. It is another absolutely in-your-face move. It can’t be hard at all to discover who has been paying for this Resistance uprising that includes the “No Kings” demos. It is relatively easy to track the money trails from one bank to another, or many banks to many others, and to see which NGOs are sending all the dough. . . and then who among the operational units are receiving it.” – James Howard Kunstler – VERY GOOD READ FROM MR. KUNSTLER!!!!!!!

Peter Thiel, the Antichrist, and the Peace President – “Trump loves to wait to make those clarifications in order to juice the press up with salacious news; but that doesn’t make for a peaceful and orderly country. It just adds chaos and disruption for the sake of drama. It turns the nation into endless reality TV.” – David Haggith

Barack Obama Foments Color Revolutions in Eastern Europe – “George Soros’ dog, Barack Obama, recently got in on the action, sponsoring through his “nonprofit” foundation several astroturfed champions of Democracy™ from Poland and Hungary to turn the screws on their respective regimes for the sake of mass migration and various neoliberal other social engineering projects. Precisely because they are white and hence inherently in need of eradication, and because these cultures are the most resistant to the forces of globalism that aim to turn the entire world into a singular corporate monoculture with zhe bugs as the sole protein source in the grocery store and digital currency the only means of payment.” – Ben Bartee

The New AIPAC Commercial is a Self-Inflicted Disaster for Zionism – ” here is the 1 minute and 34 seconds of the best Zionist propagandists have to offer, unedited by me: I’ll just say that AIPAC deserves an award for creating an ad that is guaranteed to alienate more Americans than anything else since Diet Coke.” – Ohio Barbarian

New Cyber Attack Threatens to Bring Down U.S. Government and Corporate America’s Networks – “A new cybersecurity emergency directive has just been issued by the U.S. Federal Government, through their Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), warning that thousands of networks operated by the US government and Fortune 500 companies face an “imminent threat” of being breached by a nation-state hacking group.

A MUST WATCH!!!!!

The Long Con: The US and Israel Are Again Setting The Table For Regime Change In Iran – “Recent revelations regarding a covert Israeli influence operation, seeking to help replace the current Iranian government with a corrupt Monarchy, have received almost no coverage in the Western media. This is because the story begins to unravel a web of media agencies and even terrorist networks (funded by the Israeli and Western tax payer) in a desperate attempt to stir civil war in Iran.” – Robert Inlakesh

The Next Putin-Trump Meeting Might Lead To Something Tangible This Time Around – “The geostrategic context of newfound pressure upon each, their increased bilateral tensions, and rising fears that false flag provocations in Europe could manipulate them into war with one another make it likely that their planned Budapest Summit will be more successful than the Anchorage one.” – Andrew Korybko

U.S. runs another huge budget deficit in 2025 — and the national debt hits another record – “Interest payments on the U.S. debt are the second-largest part of government spending – Jeffry Bartash

Thar She Blows – “For any who haven’t noticed or don’t understand, control has been lost and like Moby Dick, the white whale, this is not an event, rather a mythos that goes down in the annuls of mankind, as an event, because it’s global, not seen before—not seen again? It may or may not be fortuitous for those holding gold, but for those without gold—it will be just what it is. The credit/debt cycle transferred wealth from citizens to elites, accelerating a dollar collapse, precipitating the ruination of the republic—and gave capitalism a black eye. What’s going to happen (amidst severe times), after the elite conglomerates finally lose control, is a return to small—local. After we get used of trading silver dimes for poultry, when Amazon no longer ships, then by necessity, we return to small business. If not, respect for human decency will be lost—forever? ” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

Gold and silver — Now it’s FOMO – “The question facing dealers in precious metals is whether gold, silver, and PGMs have become Giffin goods. If so, further rises will create new demand with sellers retreating. Gold and silver have had a rip-roaring week with their prices rising almost vertically. In European morning trade, gold was $4340, up $320 from last Friday’s close. And silver at $54 was up nearly $4. Adding to the sense of a gathering run on bullion stocks, reports from around the world are of queues of retail buyers no longer worried by high prices but seeking to buy small bars and coin in both metals before prices go even higher.” – Alasdair Macleod  – BOTH ARE BEING SMACKED DOWN TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As the government shutdown eases in to its third week, odds are rising that the deficit could actually shrink from last year. Perhaps by hundreds of billions if Republicans keep the shutdown going to the magic 61 days. That’s the good news. The bad news is even hundreds of billions barely makes a dent in a deficit that’s cruising at $2 trillion per year.” – Peter St Onge

Your basement finally looks like the prepper stronghold you always envisioned. But here’s the truth: setting up long term food storage in basement is only half the battle. The other half is keeping it viable year after year. Food doesn’t just sit there unchanged, it quietly reacts to air, moisture, time, and neglect.

THE BIG PICTURE

Police State Bounty Hunters: The Rise of ICE’s Unconstitutional War on America – “Masked gunmen. Tasers. Tear gas. Pepper spray. Unmarked vehicles. Intimidation tactics. Brutality. Racial profiling. Children traumatized. Families terrorized. Journalists targeted. Citizens detained. Disabled individuals, minors, the elderly, pregnant women, military veterans—snatched off the streets. Private property destroyed. This is not a war zone. This is America. This is what now passes for law-and-order policing by ICE agents in Trump’s America—and it is not making America safer or greater.” – John & Nisha Whitehead  – DIFFERING VIEWS AND SEVERAL GOOD READS FROM JOHN, BRANDON AND THE JUDGE!!!!

Joe Rogan Criticizes The Harsh Tactics Of ICE: Here’s Why He’s Wrong – “This is a war between utterly disparate enemies with completely different moral positions. Diplomacy is a pipe dream and playing nice is a death sentence. It’s time to stop pretending that our national relationship can be mended. It’s over. In fact, it was over many years ago and only now are conservatives actually beginning to fight back. We’re done worrying about political optics. Either we change things dramatically right now, or we’ll never get another chance. In terms of the optics of the arrests, illegals are criminals. All of them. Trump never promised to only arrest migrants that commit crimes after they cross the border. He promised the opposite. If the concern is “brutality”, then I have to say that ICE Is going easy on these criminals. I also have no sympathy for woke activists who try to interfere with perfectly lawful arrests. If they get their asses kicked in the process of sabotaging deportations, then all the better. Illegal migrants do NOT have the same due process rights under federal law as native citizens.” – Brandon Smith

A Constitution of No Authority – “What if the whole purpose of the Constitution was to establish and to limit the federal government? What if Congress’s 16 enumerated powers in the Constitution no longer limit Congress but are actually used as a justification to extend Congress’s authority over nearly every aspect of human life? What if Congress bribes the states with cash, the rich with bailouts, the middle class with tax cuts and the poor with wealth transfers? ​What if the president, meant to be an equal to Congress, has instead become a democratically elected, term-limited, monarch? What if the president claims that everything he did was legal, just because he’s the president? What if he could declare war on his own? What if he could read your emails and your texts without a search warrant? What if he could kill you without due process or warning? ​What if the rights and principles guaranteed in the Constitution have been so distorted in the past 200 years as to be unrecognizable by the Framers? What if our once revered Bill of Rights has become a bill of temporary privileges?” – Judge Andrew P. Napolitano

States Go It Alone on ‘Forever Chemicals’ as EPA Delays Federal Action – ” Activists and landowners say a lack of consistent research and regulation is allowing dangerous chemicals to permeate the soil, endangering the public.

Wars and Rumors of Wars – “There is no question that we are being psychologically prepped for a great and terrible war. Whether you are a civilian, veteran, or active service member, you surely have heard over the last ten years at least one commanding officer describe publicly the likelihood of a U.S.-China war or wider WWIII in the near future. European politicians have been instructing their citizens to prepare for a full-on military conflict with Russian forces since the current war in Ukraine began.” – J.B. Shurk

The Religious Right Is A Blight – “Yes, I saw all of this coming for a long time. But I honestly could never have guessed how bad it would get, because no one (at least not me) could foresee the arrival of Donald Trump. I foolishly thought that G.W. Bush was the worst it would be. And by worst, I’m not talking about Bush himself; I’m talking about the fawning actions and attitudes of the Religious Right toward Bush. The power elite that control both political parties have completely mastered the Hegelian Dialectic. They have advanced architectural and engineering degrees in the designing and building of the phony left-right paradigm. They are professional propagandists and experts in political manipulation. Tokyo Rose and Joseph Goebbels were rank amateurs compared to these monsters. And Donald Trump is their greatest achievement. He is the Frankenstein who the Religious Right believes is Cinderella. ” – Chuck Baldwin

America is at war against itself over illegal immigration – “The colorful fabric of the United States is beginning to tear apart as Democrats and Republicans attempt to address the immigration crisis in their own separate and very different ways.” – Robert Bridge

America Needs a Political Party that Represents Americans – “Today the Democrat Party, once a party that represented the working class against the Republican Party that represented business, has become an ideological party whose agenda is a Sodom and Gomorrah Tower of Babel. The Democrats have been convinced by critical race theory and aversive racism that white ethnicities are racist against people of color and historically have subjected them to exploitation and abuse. Other than the organized material interests, who do Republicans represent? The obvious answer is Israel.” – Paul Craig Roberts

We Got The Bleat – “The “Woke” Joke. Slinging the word ‘woke’ around these days has become as linguistically powerful as throwing the word ‘like’ into every sentence for millennials during the aughts. It will soon have as much meaning and mind control sway as trying to force-feed Western Gentiles the words ‘Anti-Semite’ and ‘Holocaust’, once all the Boomers and Gen Xers are gone. If you still haven’t figured out that “woke” is an economic and socio-cultural agenda financially backstopped by certain people, and that consumers are expendable and completely irrelevant (no amount of boycotts will matter) you’re at least four years behind the curve.” – The Good Citizen  – ANOTHER GREAT READ FROM THE CITIZEN!!!!

Trump’s Gaza plan for peace is fake news. Here’s what’s really going to happen – “Unfortunately the picture is bleak and there is not much hope for a long-standing peace in the Gaza Strip, largely because the so-called deal is not a ‘peace deal’ as such but more a temporary ceasefire to get out Israeli hostages. Not much more.” – Martin Jay

The result: another small town gutted in real time by globalist policies for short-term profits. Last fall, at a Trump rally, a trucker from Charleroi warned the immigration policies the Biden-Harris regime pushed were “nation-killing”… Fourth Street Barbecue is planning to shut down its plants at the end of the month after defaulting on more than $80 million in loans, according to local media outlet WTAE.” – Tyler Durden

During this week’s NATO ‘Defense Ministers Summit’ in Brussels, lumpish Secretary General Mark Rutte broke the record for the most cringe-worthy statements in a two-minute span; it was one of the clearest embodiments yet of the imperial hubris at the root of NATO and the EU’s disastrous deterioration: Not only does he pretend to believe that NATO is dozens of times economically more powerful than Russia, but that its military is “infinitely” superior as well—using the language of children.” – Simplicius

It all timed out with the biggest one-day dump on the stock market since the start of tariff troubles last spring and an equally huge dump in the crypto world (pound for pound) that showed just how much fragility there really is in each of those markets.” – David Haggith

Long Term Food Storage in Basement (Part 1): Why It Works and How to Build It Right – “If you’ve ever stood in your basement and thought, “This could be my backup pantry if things ever went sideways,” you’re already thinking like a seasoned prepper. For decades, basements have been the quiet stronghold of food security in American homes, cool, dark, and out of the way. Done right, long term food storage in basement setups can preserve grains, beans, and canned goods for decades.

Yet we live behind it, convinced we’re “safe” because someone told us so. But here’s the thing nobody mentions: bulletproof drywall does exist.

That’s why I’m back. Because now, more than ever, we need common-sense prepping and real conversations about what’s happening in this country. AI surveillance, digital currencies, censorship, inflation — the warning signs are flashing red, and yet too many people are still asleep at the wheel.Either way, it’s time to get back to doing what matters: Prepping smart. Living free. Thinking for ourselves.” – M.D. Creekmore

Nuts or Not, We Have the Music – “It is hard to keep your head when all about you, nuts are knocking on it to remind you of things that are not true in a world where reality is hard to find because of endless propaganda, artificial intelligence, personal betrayals, and nuts who know nothing but can’t stop telling you the nothing that they know. They are always falling but seem to be reborn endlessly, popping up in new clothes as advocates for the latest fashionable truths that they rejected only yesterday. They always jump on the band wagon, aka the nut wagon, where they trade old falsehoods for new truths to create chaos. It makes one a wee bit suspicious. If it sounds like I am complaining, it is because my head is sore. The woods are lovely, dark and deep this time of year, and I return from my walks with pockets full of mumbles of false promises together with black walnuts, chestnuts, hickory nuts – even acorns and pine cones – that the wind has blown down to hit my head hard to remind me to wake up. ” – Edward Curtin

President Trump, “I am not Heaven bound”. Confession. – “President Trump’s disdain for Venezuela’s Maduro and desire to either assassinate a sitting president or simply bomb the country comes with obstacles. Why is America so obsessed with every other country? It is the very definition of a “Karen”. The obsession is rooted in ‘globalization’. You can’t achieve pure globalization monarchial rule unless you control all major countries. Major countries are those with vast resources – like Venezuela – and supposedly Ukraine. The means for justifying the toppling typically involves creation of a false flag or in the case of Venezuela, a propaganda campaign of demonization. ” – Helena Glass

Trump’s tyrannical abuse of power is a threat to the American people, and it is also a threat to international peace.

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

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.

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

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

ECONOMIC NEWS

Crash on Monday? – “Following Trump’s new 100% extra tariffs on China, markets are expected to fall significantly this coming week. But precious metal paper markets are in crisis, driving prices higher.” – Alasdair Macleod

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

US and Canada Have a New Spat Over Auto Tariffs – ““Our relationship will never again be what it was,” said Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney” – Mish

How Not to Run a Household — or a Country – “What if Donald Trump ran Mar-a-Lago’s economic affairs in the same way that he’s trying to run America’s? Let’s take a look.” – Donald J. Boudreaux

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

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.

Taxes are not fees or a payment for a service. ” – Ryan McMaken

When temperatures plummet and storms roll in, small oversights can quickly turn deadly.” – denob

LYRICS FOR THE WEEK

Until the philosophy which hold one race
Superior and another inferior
Is finally
And permanently
Discredited
And abandoned
Everywhere is war
Me say war

That until there are no longer
First-class and second-class citizens of any nation
Until the colour of a man’s skin
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes
Me say war

That until the basic human rights
Are equally guaranteed to all
Without regard to race
Dis a war

That until that day
The dream of lasting peace
World citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion to be pursued
But never attained
Now everywhere is war
War

And until the ignoble and unhappy regime
That hold our brothers in Angola
In Mozambique
South Africa
Sub-human bondage
Have been toppled
Utterly destroyed
Well, everywhere is war
Me say war

War in the east
War in the west
War up north
War down south

War, war
Rumors of war
And until that day
The African continent
Will not know peace
We Africans will fight, we find it necessary
And we know we shall win
As we are confident
In the victory
Of good over evil

Good over evil, yeah!
Good over evil
Good over evil, yeah!
Good over evil
Good over evil, yeah
