THE BIG PICTURE

By What Authority? – “There is no doubt that Jesus has authority! When we look at the opening verses of Genesis, we see this same demonstration of God’s authority: He says “let there be light,” and light happens. God speaks the whole of creation into existence—with a mere utterance from God, everything happens. Just from this, there is no doubt that there can be no authority greater than God’s! Do any who presume to lead men here on earth have anything like God’s authority? Clearly they do not. We have only to look at the chaos in the world to see that, contrary to what the centurion believed about his own authority, what men speak does not automatically happen. What God says, is. What men say, may or may not be.” – Peter Nayland Kust

The Conspiracy to Hide God in Plain Sight – “Why Evil Fears Your Prayers. Modern archaeology has a clean story. Sumerian tablets are older than biblical texts, therefore the Bible borrowed from Mesopotamia. Genesis copied the flood from Gilgamesh, creation from Enuma Elish. Case closed. But that timeline assumes tablets were written when the events happened. What if they’re not? Call the Sumerian version older and you control the interpretation. Make Genesis look derivative and you gut the theological framework. Because if the Bible just plagiarized Mesopotamian myths, why take any of it seriously? Why worry about fallen angels or spiritual warfare when it’s obviously Bronze Age fan fiction?” – Lily-Rose Dawson – VERY INTERESTING READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Ebola Equation – “Vaccine harm scaled up. Claiming that a product causes less harm than the disease is meaningless when harm from the product is guaranteed, but disease is only a risk.” – Dr Clare Craig

Bill Gates Launches $1.4 Billion Soil Bioengineering Initiative Under the Guise of ‘Climate Adaptation’ – “The Gates Foundation’s latest billion-dollar program aims to re-engineer the soil itself with “biofertilizers”—using long-debunked climate change as justification.” – Jon Fleetwood – THE SKY, THE EARTH THE FOOD, OUR HEALTH. NOTHING SEEMS TO BE OFF LIMITS TO THIS IDIOT. HE MUST HAVE A GOD COMPLEX AS HE DOES SATAN’S WORK!!!!!!!!!!

FLOP 30: Is the Climate Hoax Finally Over? – James Corbett

Canada Quietly Passes Law To Sell Cloned Meat Without Labeling Or Review – “The government quietly changing the definition of a novel food, means that unless it’s labeled organic, there is no way to distinguish brands that support animal cloning – from brands that don’t.” – The WinePress

I Told You So (Tropical — Now Winter) – “Back in the early part of the hurricane season I predicted no landfalling hurricanes for the Continental US. I didn’t say “no hurricanes” because that would be utterly stupid and always wrong, but I did predict zero hits on the United States. Why? Because the neutral ENSO said that was likely to be the case; specifically, that pattern changes the path of the jetstream in the summer in that it has less amplitude into the United States and thus the normal and expected blocking mechanisms that both ventilate tropical weather and force it westward were less-likely. Between the two “local, home-grown” stuff (e.g. in the Gulf) was less-likely and long-track storms would turn poleward before getting here. Both happened. No, its not due to “climate change” or any such twaddle.” – Karl Denninger

Trump Announces $2,000 ‘Tariff Dividend’ To Be Paid To Most Americans – Tyler Durden  – BELIEVE IT WHEN I SEE IT. OH, BY THE WAY WHAT HAPPENED TO THE $5000 DOGE SAVINGS DIVIDEND FOR EVERYONE PROMISED BACK IN FEBRUARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How To Make America Affordable Again – “How the right can reclaim affordability and abundance on housing, education, and healthcare with one simple trick – increase supply and decrease demand through mass deportation. Comrades: Abundance and affordability can be achieved through deportation and incarceration – welcome to MAGA Econ/PoliSci 101.” – Yuri Bezmenov

Notes from the edge of civilization: November 9, 2025 – “Hunger games; even hungrier games, if you don’t eat the swine; and the collective amnesia brought to you by your friendly, three-letter agencies. Maybe Trump really is a genius. Refuse to fund SNAP so the poor can’t afford to eat, then make weight-loss drugs cheaper so they don’t want to eat. Budget balanced. Problem solved. This is a perfect feedback loop of austerity and appetite suppression — fiscal discipline meets body discipline. It’s hard not to admire the efficiency.” – Collapse Life

The Vita Contemplativa – “Notes from a reluctant observer of the passing political parade… Empires… currencies… popular ideas and mass delusions… all things fade away, eventually. Only change remains the same.” – Joel Bowman

Epoch of Change – “What’s happening in the EU is the product of the globalists and the stronger they get, the weaker we are as a nation. The US is already suffering from the effects of a declining power. America can draw strength from the Central and Eastern European bloc that has rejected illegal immigration rather than build a complete apparatus to deport those already there. One can understand it either as a religious battle, or a battle against communists, it works either way, because the Islamists are communists in drag. They are the communist shock troops and once the worldwide caliphate is established communism will simply slip away into the darkness of history, morphed into a religious, patriarchal tyranny.” – T.L. Davis

Less Government, Better Government: Lessons from the Longest Shutdown – “The longest government shutdown in US history has yielded an unexpected revelation: our federal workforce is far larger than our daily functioning requires.” – Amuse on X

The US Empire Keeps Getting Creepier – “This is the kind of world we are being offered by the US empire. There is nothing on the menu for us but more war, more genocide, more surveillance, more censorship, more tyranny, and more abuse” – Caitlin Johnstone

“Fast, Vicious, and Sweet” – “President Trump Threatens War on Nigeria. Sweet? What kind of president describes warfare as “sweet”? Truly this is militarism run amuck. What is wrong with our country? Must we wage war on everyone?” – Bill Astore

Who Died and Made Trump the Global Drug-War King? – “According to NBC News, the Trump administration is now considering a military attack on Mexico. That’s on top of Trump’s obvious internal struggle on whether to do the same to Venezuela. Another possibility is Columbia, whose president, according to Trump, is an “illegal drug leader.” Oh, the difficult life of an interventionist drug-war president who is ostensibly set on making America great again. Who to attack first? Who to kill? How many to kill? Which killing route will be more apt to make America great again? How best to win the Nobel Prize for Peace?” – Jacob G. Hornberger

Rep. Ilhan Omar tells Trump to go ahead and deport her — she can live anywhere – “A seat in Congress has its bankbook benefits and Omar has gotten rich since getting elected to the House. Rep. Ilhan Omar got told to move someplace else by President Trump after she declared herself and her supporters Somalis first, and the retort she gave reeked of entitlement and hypocrisy:” – Monica Showalter

The Ostrich Bird Flu Saga: 300+ Birds Massacred and a Family Farm Destroyed – “Who was threatening the massacre? Had al-Qaeda infiltrated BC? Had some Wahhabi cleric issued a fatwa against birds? No, the wanton killing didn’t occur at the hands of brutal Islamic fundamentalists; it was rather the handiwork of your friendly Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), all in the name of Public Health™. In the name of Public Health™, based on two allegedly positive PCR tests pulled from dead birds almost a year ago,” – Ben Bartee

Seniors Can’t Afford to Live – But Ottawa Pretends Everything’s Fine (VIDEO) – ” If your entire income is CPP, OAS, and maybe a sliver of GIS, you’re the definition of lowincome renter. You don’t have margin to play with. You have a countdown clock to eviction. That’s what you have. Imagine in your 80s possibly being evicted. And we haven’t even touched healthcare yet.” – Bakes on Things  – THANKS TO SYLVIA SHAWCROSS FOR SHARING!!

The Four Pedophile Mentors of King Charles – “Pedophilia appears prevalent among and attractive to politicians and the ruling class. People wielding much more power and wealth than the rest of us have the ability (rightly or wrongly) to get attractive adult consenting partners more easily. So why do they, apparently in disproportionate numbers, seek to prey on the young and defenceless? It is more than time we got rid of the Medieval system of monarchy.” – Anthony Colpo

United Nations Revokes Sanctions On Syria And Former Terrorist Leader Of ISIS/Al-Qaeda Ahead Of Meeting With Trump – “Ambassador Ibrahim Abdulmalik Olabi stated: “We consider [this resolution] a sign of a growing confidence in the new Syria, its people and its leadership,” he said, calling it a “badge of honor.”” – The WinePress

The West discovers Zelensky is not really a good guy – “In a fleeting glimpse of lucidity, the mainstream media has noticed a tiny fraction of the corruption and authoritarianism in Kiev” – Tarik Cyril Amar

“Largest Ever” Russian Ballistic Attack Cripples Ukrainian Energy Grid – “Last night Russia struck Ukraine with what is being called the largest ballistic missile attack of the entire nearly-four-year-long war.

Is Trump now TRYING to blow up the whole economy?? – Jon Rappoport

THE DEEPER DIVE: Great-Depression-Scale Labor Death Lurks on our Doorstep – “The dawning storm of tariff destruction in manufacturing, the government shutdown, DOGE cuts, rising inflation, and the emergence of AI implementation is developing into a grim transition for labor.” – David Haggith

Big government is the problem, not the solution. – “Socialism has never reduced prices or improved affordability. Never. Interventionism is the root of all inflationary and scarcity problems. Only competition, open markets and technology can reduce prices and ease the bottlenecks created by governments through asphyxiating regulations and taxes. Zohan Mamdani stated that “there is no problem big enough that the government cannot solve.” The evidence is the opposite.” – Daniel Lacalle

An Open Letter To Bill Maher – “”Explain this economy,” Bill says on Friday. Sure thing, Bill. It’s a bipartisan failure to take on reckless monetary policy that widens the inequality gap.” – Quoth the Raven

This is the #1 Question For Investors Today – “The stock market sell off continues. And it’s to be expected. The S&P 500 has now gone 131 sessions without touching its 50-DMA. This is the longest streak since 2007 (almost 20 years). Based on this alone, the odds were quite high that the S&P 500 would correct to touch its 50-DMA. What happens then is critical: the #1 question for investors is if this is going to be a garden variety correction or if it’s the start of another bear market/ crisis.” – Graham Summers, MBA

Market & Economic Headwinds Are Building (VIDEO) WITH Lance Roberts – “There are now such a host of reasons to have concern for both the economy & markets heading into 2026, that the Wall Street euphoria is starting to wear off.

Update: On Spring Water, Well Water, and Water Treatment Basics – James Wesley Rawles

BECOME A SOURCE OF SUSTENANCE FOR OTHERS – “I had my great awakening in 2003 and began to prepare for our departure from mainstream American society which came several years later. And while the transition took years to accomplish and the skills required twice as long to master, here we are having enjoyed decades of real independence, making deep connections to friends and community, spending our time with each other, doing things that gave our life meaning and purpose without ever considering our net worth or place in the economic order.” – Hardscrabble Farmer

How To Make Yeast the Old-Fashioned Way – “They’ve made you believe you need a store to make bread. That without their neatly packaged packets of yeast, you’re helpless. But here’s the truth: humans were baking long before corporations started selling fermentation in foil. Real yeast isn’t a product you buy. It’s a living thing you can grow, capture, and keep alive with nothing more than flour, water, and patience.” – Ask A Prepper Staff

IS THE MALINOIS REALLY TOP DOG? – “Everywhere we look these days we are seeing videos of Malinois dogs and their abilities. I have some experience with the four varieties of Belgian Shepherds, so I thought I ought to weigh in with an opinion.” – Frances Leader  – LOOKING FOR A WATCH DOG OR FARMSTEAD DOG, HERE ARE SOME TO CONSIDER, BUT WITH A FEW CAUTIONS. GOOD READ FROM FRANCES!!

Health Prepping: A Future to be Avoided at All Costs – “A few months ago, I put a pistol (Sig Sauer P320 for the gun people out there) on a bedside table to remind me to clean it. But I didn’t get to it right away. And then one day it was gone. After a frantic hour spent checking every possible part of the floor and bed where it could have fallen, I concluded that it had been stolen. So I called the sheriff’s department and reported the pistol “lost or stolen”. Fast forward to this week. As I was organizing a messy closet, I pulled out a random box, and there was my pistol. I had no memory of putting it there, so my reaction was mixed: I was happy to have my favorite gun back. And spooked by the apparent memory glitch. In other words, was this just a random “senior moment” with no lasting implications, or was it the beginning of a long-term decline that leaves me unable to recognize my kids?” – John Rubino

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

I take my card and I stand in line
To make a buck I work overtime
Dear Sir letters keep coming in the mail

I work my back till it’s racked with pain
The boss can’t even recall my name
I show up late and I’m docked
It never fails

I feel like just another
Spoke in a great big wheel
Like a tiny blade of grass
In a great big field

To workers I’m just another drone
To Ma Bell I’m just another phone
I’m just another statistic on a sheet

To teachers I’m just another child
To IRS I’m another file
I’m just another consensus on the street

Gonna cruise out of this city
Head down to the sea
Gonna shout out at the ocean
Hey it’s me

And I feel like a number
Feel like a number
Feel like a stranger
A stranger in this land
I feel like a number
I’m not a number
I’m not a number
Dammit I’m a man

KABBALAH: The Anti-Christ Religion of Satan that Controls the World Today – “I came across the teachings today of a man who calls himself Ben Born Again. He has a website and a popular YouTube channel. The testimony of his spiritual rebirth is here. I watched the documentary he published last month (October, 2025) on Kabbalah, and it is the best presentation of this topic I have seen so far.” – Brian Shilhavy

How technocracy conquered the West without firing a shot (v=VIDEO) – “Patrick Wood joins Collapse Life to expose the real system running our world — the one that doesn’t care about elections, ideologies, or your vote. There’s a kind of collapse that doesn’t come from war or invasion. It comes from within — a hollowing out of sovereignty until nations become stage props for an algorithmic empire. It’s not sci-fi conjecture. It’s here ” – Collapse Life  – ALSO SUGGEST WATCHING THE VIDEO PATRICK DID WITH DR. JOSEPH SANSONE LINKED ON 10/24/25 AS WELL. MAY BE SOME OVERLAP IN SUBJECT MATTER!!!!

Biometric Consent is the Digital ID (VIDEO) – “Once again, this is the old fashioned Problem-Reaction-Solution scheme being deployed. Under the guises of safety and fraud prevention, the Buy-Now-Pay-Later industry will soon require biometric ID. And Visa is following close behind. Visa launched their Payment Passkey in 2024, which allows you to voluntarily make purchases with your phone’s built-in biometrics. Visa aims to be “biometric-first” by 2026. The International banking cartel has made it clear that this is where we are headed. It’s the only way the Crypto-AI control grid can function. While many of us can clearly see this as a major upgrade for tyranny and an affront to human free will, many are perfectly content with an authoritarian state. ‘ – Greg Reese

Two Canadas, One Justice: When Ideology Gets Leave and Life Gets Lost – “Why the courts will move mountains for symbolism but bury a farm for science. Instead of curiosity, the farm met a cull order. Every bird destroyed, erased years of selective breeding and a promising Canadian contribution to real disease-fighting science. Albeit a hit in Pfizer’s (and the likes) pocketbook.

When Facts Come up Against Your Opinions – “There’s consequences for not providing food credit. 41 million Americans will not be spending money on food. This is prelude to when technocrats get control and digitalize everything. No savings—at the end of each month one’s balance will reflect zero. If you run out of credit before the end of the month—too bad for you. And something under the radar, supermarkets— many of which get 60/90% of sales from food subsidies. Each of these things is connected to a failing economy—getting closer to collapse by the day. Amazon laying-off 30K, mostly white collar workers, while UPS lays-off $48K workers. Both of these are top 10 of workers furloughed—in all of US historical data. ” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com – ANOTHER GOOD ONE FROM ERIK. PART OF THE BIG PICTURE AND ECONOMIC NEWS AS WELL!!!

America’s Future: Food Stamp Riots And Communism? – “There’s a lot of black-pilling Republicans out there this week after a handful of elections in the northeastern US led to “sweeping” Democrat victories in New York, New Jersey and Virginia. As is always the case whenever Republicans lose any race no matter how insignificant to the bigger picture, suddenly the sky is falling and doom is about to come crashing down on America for all eternity. The panic has become quite tiresome. Keep in mind, the gloom is limited mostly to social media and is exacerbated by a few hundred conservative influencers. As usual, these people still don’t realize that the social media world is not the real world. If you were shocked by someone like Zohran Mamdani winning the mayor’s race in New York for example, then you have not been paying any attention to what’s been happening in blue cities lately.” – Brandon Smith

Let Them Eat Cheetos – “Young people now overwhelmingly see socialism as preferable to capitalism because they have been indoctrinated by left wing professors and the legacy left media mouthpieces, promoting the Mandamis, AOCs, Bernies and Pocahontases of the world. It doesn’t matter their socialist/commie agenda has a 100% proven record of being erroneous and economically disastrous anywhere on earth it has been implemented, with millions of dead bodies as proof. The truth is we have not experienced true free market capitalism since the unholy conception of the Federal Reserve and initiation of the Federal income tax in 1913.” – Jim Squinn

A history of American democratic socialism – “Virtually all socialist countries — even North Korea — claim to be democratic. The notion that there is a new, revised, workable form of socialism as championed by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and Bernie Sanders (BS) seems to be marketing at best and deceit at worst.” – Kenn Gividen

Islam and the Zionist Right – “Zohran Mamdani’s win in the New York City mayoral race garnered most of the attention. Mamdani is a Muslim, now set to lead a city that has long been associated with Jewish power. He’s a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. As is the case so often with these suddenly famous figures, Mamdani has a connection to show business. His mother is an award winning Bollywood filmmaker. Mamdani really drew attention when, in a debate with other mayoral candidates like mobster wannabe Andrew Cuomo, and former leader of the now forgotten Guardian Angels Curtis Sliwa, he answered the question, “What foreign country would you visit first as mayor?” by declaring that his job would be to represent the people of New York City. Sounds pretty reasonable to me. The rest of the Zionist fanatics running for mayor competed to shout “Israel!” the loudest.” – Donald Jeffries

New York City Mayor Mamdani’s Jewish Heritage Unraveled – “Calling Mamdani a Socialist has little impact given America has been run as a socialist country for decades. The nuance of a “Republic” – is more a twitter feed than reality. Nor are we One Nation Under God.” – Helena Glass

Tons Of Mamdani Supporters Don’t Actually Know Why They Voted For Him – “Voters struggled to answer why they were happy about Mamdani’s victory and could not explain what his policies were while they were questioned by journalist Cam Higby. Not a single Mamdani voter could explain how the upcoming mayor will be able to pay for his programs, such as free buses and government-run grocery stores.” – Nicole Silverio

San Diego launches ‘friendly’ inspection teams to go digging through people’s trash cans in search of recycling violations – “They’re from the government, and they’re here to help: ‘Friendly’ San Diego city officials are set to send teams of inspectors to dig through people’s trash cans looking for recycling violations. Nicely, of course. They plan to issue ‘oops’ citations to scofflaws who throw the wrong stuff in the wrong trash bins.” – Monica Showalter  – SERIOUSLY???????????

Nancy Pelosi Throws in the Towel as Geriatric Congress Rolls On – “Goodbye, Nancy. Now, will you please take a few friends with you?” – Leesa K. Donner

In Memoriam: Democrat Capos Lick Dick Cheney’s Boots – “The unindicted, unrepentant war criminal Dick Cheney, you may have heard, kicked the bucket earlier this week. (True to form as some strange breed of hobgoblin dispatched by His Father from the underworld to menace humanity, Cheney, by the time of his passing, had actually already been semi-undead for fifteen years with no pulse, with an implanted medical device that circulated blood throughout his body. On cue, every major Democrat leader came out of the woodwork to fellate the late degenerate in the most obsequious terms imaginable, up to and including whoever handles press affairs for the vegetable that allegedly served as president for the past four years:” – Ben Bartee  – SEVERAL HAVE COMMENTED ABOUT THIS FALSE LEGACY AND PRAISE THE PAST FEW DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!

Onward Christian Soldiers – “Somewhere between New York’s Studio 54 disco and the White House, Donald Trump became infused by militant Christianity. At the same time, he also seems to have been imbued by the most extreme, far-right Zionism. Politics do odd things. Trump may espouse a lot of oddball causes, but he’s no fool. He lives and breathes politics. This week’s political rabbit out of the hat is, of all places, Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nations, with 232 million rambunctious people. As with many of today’s world problems, Nigeria was a creation of British imperialism.” – Eric Margolis

Trump Targets Foreign-Owned Meatpacking Cartel To Arrest Beef Prices, Defend Small Ranchers – “President Trump has directed the Justice Department to investigate the meatpacking cartel – JBS, Cargill, Tyson Foods, and National Beef – for potential collusion, price-fixing, and price manipulation. The four companies, two of which are foreign-owned, now control 85% of the U.S. beef processing market, up from just 36% in 1980.” -Tyler Durden

Iran–Russia railway pact sets keystone in North–South Corridor – “Tehran and Moscow’s long-delayed Rasht–Astara rail deal unlocks the final segment of a Eurasian freight artery, bolstering the Axis of Resistance and bypassing western sanctions” – Vali Kaleji

Trump Expects Orban To Go Along With Poland’s Vision For Central Europe – “The sanctions exemption was extended as a quid pro quo for Hungary incorporating itself into Poland’s US-backed regional integration plans, which necessitates gradually ditching Russian energy.” – Andrew Korybko

Globalist Apparat Sells “Forever War” in Desperate Bid to Take Edge Off Pokrovsk – “The new marching orders have again come in from directive-central.

The “Booming” Economy Continues To Implode – Corporate Layoffs Worst Since 2003, Household Debt Hits Record $18.6T, As Government Shutdown Used To Hide Collapse – “This is the highest total for October in over 20 years, and the highest total for a single month in the fourth quarter since 2008. Like in 2003, a disruptive technology is changing the landscape.” – The WinePress

“Money Printing” By The Fed: Fact Or Fiction? – “The Federal Reserve conducts open market operations to create bank reserves. It buys Treasury or mortgage-backed securities from commercial banks. In return, it credits those banks’ reserve accounts. These reserves are digital entries. No physical money is printed. The bank ends up with more reserves and fewer securities. Its balance sheet doesn’t grow. Nothing in this step directly increases the money supply. The Fed pays for these assets not with cash or printed money, but by crediting the selling bank’s reserve account at the Federal Reserve. The last sentence is most important with respect to “money printing.” There is money creation, as it is only a digital accounting system of debits and credits to the banks’ reserve accounts and the Fed’s balance sheet.” – Lance Roberts

He also reminds listeners that financial illusions — like digital money — can’t replace real goods.” – EGSI Financial

Why You Shouldn’t Cut Back Ornamental Grasses in the Fall – Ashley Zlatopolsky

72 Hours After The Grid Collapses. What Really Happens? – “When people think about the grid going down, they imagine darkness, no internet, and maybe a few cold showers. But the truth is, after 72 hours without power, things could get real, and fast. We’re not talking about some power outage where the lights flicker and come back in a few hours. We’re talking about a full-blown, widespread grid collapse. Electricity is gone. Communications are silent. Refrigeration, water pumps, gas stations, and the economy all grind to a halt.” – Matt Wright

Whether you’re protecting a rural homestead, a prepper retreat, or a seasonal cabin, an off-grid security camera system is an essential layer of defense that can operate independently of public utilities.” – denob

Rule by Thieves: The Police State Becomes a Pay-to-Play Shadow Government – “America has been backsliding into kleptocratic territory for years now, but this may finally be it. A kleptocracy is literally “rule by thieves.” It is a form of government in which a network of ruling elites “steal public funds for their own private gain using public institutions.” So now we find ourselves in this present moment where billionaires are running the show.

MAGA Now Means MAMA: Make America a Monarchy Again – “MAGA has turned into a totalitarian monster. To claim to want to make America great again means restoring the fundamental foundational principles upon which America was birthed: the freedom of speech; the freedom to peacefully protest; the right to privacy; the right to be secure in our persons, papers and effects. It also means applying the constitutional principle of federalism to Washington, D.C.; stopping America’s incessant foreign wars (especially for Israel); forcing the Washington establishment (especially the White House) to start abiding by the rule of law; ending the U.S. global military empire; stopping the executive branch from seeking monsters to destroy all over the world; ” – Cuck Baldwin

MAGA Is Now a Dead Parrot – “The Trump coalition has collapsed and is in the dustbin of history. The Make America Great Again movement, which managed the agreeable task of defeating a mandated mannikin of manic mediocrity in order to re-install Emperor Donald the Last in the White House Palace just a year ago, is dead. That’s right. MAGA was murdered as a political movement, and the murderer is its own standard bearer, our Mad Emperor his own self. Donald J. Trump murdered MAGA as surely as if he fired six shots from a .357 magnum revolver at point blank range, hit his target every time, and five of those times that target was MAGA. Let us count the ways.” – Ohio Barbarian

Ports of Entry – “We’re cutoff and surrounded! – “Vulnerabilities!!! The United States’ ports of entry are critical gateways for trade and travel, but their concentration in Democratic-aligned urban and border areas highlights potential asymmetries in extreme situations. While natural oceanic barriers provide external defense, internal divisions can isolate inland populations from global supplies. The United States’ extensive network of ports of entry serves as the backbone of its global connectivity, facilitating trillions in trade, millions of travelers, and critical supply chains. However, in the context of possible internal divisions—such as a civil war, an event fervently hoped to remain in the realm of speculation—these gateways reveal an already existing asymmetry.” – E.M.

When Fiction Governs: Chuck Schumer, the Baileys, and the Politics of Make-Believe – “Chuck Schumer has been telling one story for nearly three decades. It begins on Long Island, in Massapequa, with Joe and Eileen Bailey and their three children, a middle class family in a split level house, two jobs, and the usual anxieties about property taxes, tuition, and security. A charitable reader might ask why any of this matters. Politicians use composite characters all the time. The persistence is what astonishes. From the late 2000s through the 2010s and into the 2020s, Schumer kept returning to the Baileys” – Amuse on X

Zohran Mamdani—Bankruptcy Trustee For The Socialist Republic Of Gotham – “Despite all the gumming this morning about New York City’s allegedly shocking election of a self-professed socialist mayor, the real point is that New York City is already tantamount to a Welfare State dystopia.

Tariffs Don’t Address Compliance – “President Trump has imposed tariffs – a word used to prevent people from regarding them as the taxes they are – on vehicles not made in the United States, so as to make them cost as much as (or more than) vehicles made in the United States. The key point here is that taxes do not make anything cost less. The same as regards compliance – i.e, the cost incurred complying with government regulations. Tariffs (taxes) do not reduce the cost of compliance. What they can do is raise the costs of the goods that escaped the costs of compliance. This is something Trump – or the people who support his imposition of tariffs (taxes) – do not understand.” – Eric Peters

THE BIG PICTURE

China’s technocratic surveillance state, brought to you by American Big Tech and designed for global application – “China’s surveillance regime is often depicted as a uniquely authoritarian system — a dystopian fusion of cameras, algorithms, and totalitarian ambition. But a growing body of evidence shows that the foundation of Beijing’s digital panopticon was not built in isolation. It was quietly funded, equipped, and technologically enabled by the very institutions that claim to defend freedom: American corporations and the U.S. government.” – Leo Hohmann

Why radical Islam votes left and why the left votes radicalIislam – “On its face, the alliance of the current-day western leftist and radical Islam seems counterintuitive. If “queers for Palestine” held a march in Gaza, they would quite literally be murdered. And yet they seem oddly unconcerned by this fact, Perhaps even driven to some sort of transgressive emotional frisson by it. But the values misalignment could not be more profound. and these are the oddest of bedfellows who seem destined for a rocky future. (Sorry)” – El Gato Malo

Venezuela Is a Very Dangerous Enemy (VIDEO) with Alex Newman – “This is way more than a counter-narcotics operation as the President of Venezuela is head of a government criminal cartel called “Cartel of the Sun.” Newman explains, “I grew up in Mexico and Latin America, and what is happening is we are watching the total communist takeover of the entire region. It has been aided and abetted by people like Joe Biden, Obama and George Soros. Let’s start with Venezuela. You cannot tell the difference between the cartels and the government. “The Cartel of the Sun” is run by the leaders of the military, intelligence agencies. Nicolas Maduro, who got in by voter fraud, is the head of that cartel. This cartel is worth more money than anybody can fathom. It has diplomatic immunity and smuggles drugs using military and government airplanes. Oil is another huge money maker. . .. This is not your run-of-the-mill corruption. . .. In Latin America, they are all part of the same thing.” – Greg Hunter

Regulators have turned a blind eye or have given a slap on the wrist to banks caught red-handed rigging prices. People betting on higher prices have been punished, including the Hunt brothers, who were brutalized by a COMEX move to limit investors to sell orders only. In fact, the system for price discovery in U.S. futures markets may have been “purpose built” to discourage broad ownership of physical gold and silver.” – Clint Siegner

To answer the question, let’s take a closer look at price history to see if it provides any clues. Even if you weren’t around in 1980 or 2011, I’m certain you’ve heard the stories of doom, gloom, and years of despair that followed two failed attempts at $50 silver. As such, the question must be asked: “Is this time different”? ” – Craig Hemke

Increases in the Money Supply, Not Corporate Profits, Drive Price Increases – “Some commentators are of the view that an important driver in consumer price inflation is the business drive for higher profits. According to the Ground Work Collaborative think tank report, The report found corporate profits accounted for about 53 percent of inflation during the second and the third quarter of 2023. But does it make any sense that profits cause price inflation? Businesses cannot raise prices to secure higher profits without the buyers’ agreement. A price is a point at which a voluntary exchange will take place between two individuals. The exchange is based on their valuations of the goods they want relative to what they offer in exchange. This is true whether money is involved or not, though prices are often denominated in terms of money in a money economy.” – Frank Shostak

Good question. Why is it that we can’t forget it, nor even want to forget, as it represents “unfinished business” to us, and sheep have no problem at all letting it vaporize in their memory? One of the primary differences between how sheepies see covid and how we, shrews, see covid is that the sheep see it as an anomaly, an aberration in an otherwise rather stable world. The shrews view covid as a harbinger of future developments. We perceive it as an event deliberately engineered by a hidden agenda to advance various objectives that serve its interests.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

Another Regime-Change War Will Accelerate America’s Slide into Authoritarianism – Jacob G. Hornberger

Last Ditch? – “Doesn’t it kind of look like the Nov. 5 “Trump Must Go Now” action in Washington is designed to be our time’s Fort Sumter moment, to kick off Civil War 2.0? The organizers behind it are the usual suspects: George & Alex Soros’s Open Society Foundation at the hub and spin-offs such as the Tides Foundation, Revolutionary Communist Party, and Refuse Fascism doing the logistical grunt work. . . buses. . . snacks. . . signs. . . brickbats, frog costumes. . . . The idea is to entice a million Wokesters to surround the White House and literally exorcise the president, get Donald Trump teleported out through the roof into the cosmic ethers, to be seen no more. We’ll have to stand by to see how it works. You might have noticed by now that the most hysterical voices crying about “fascism” are exactly the people who yearn to push everybody else around, tell them what to think, run your life, wreck every institution and relationship in society, and take all your stuff. The Left never notices how all that resembles their notion of what fascism is. Self-awareness is not the Wokesters’ strong suit.” – James Howard Kunstler

No Kings Marches are Just Memes, Empty as Social Media “Content” – “I’m behind on the news. Did the No Kings marches across America finally change everything? Did Trump vanish, Greta ascend, and democracy restore itself? I actually swung by the local No Kings march.

To them he was Donny Dementia, Impotus, Orange Man (many variations), Mango Mussolini, Hitler stuff, The Lying King, Cheeto Benito, Comrade tRump, and many more unprintable here. Back in the day many of these same marchers could only come up with “Tricky Dick” to call out Nixon.” – Peter Van Buren

Christians Persecuted and Killed around the World – “In 2025, there is no part of the world that is safe for Christians. Leftist prosecutors in Europe, Australia, Canada, and the United States criminalize fundamental tenets of the Christian faith as discriminatory forms of “hate speech.” Chinese communists replace images of Jesus Christ with portraits of Xi Jinping. Hindus beat and murder Christians in India. Islamic nations sentence Christian converts to death. Nigerian Muslims attack Christian churches during prayer services and torture and murder so many Christian worshipers as to constitute genocide.’ – J.B. Shurk

Zohran Mamdani and His (Our) Enemies – “Free bus lines, city-run grocery stores, free childcare, an ambitious housing program, a $30 minimum wage by the end of the decade: These are the prominent planks in Mamdani’s platform, and they, a menu of “progressive” causes, account for much of his appeal. And this alone was enough to get the capitalist class out of their seats from the very start of Mamdani’s campaign.” – Patrick Lawrence

Our Own Coup D’etat – “I scan the headlines every now and then of Zerohedge and Gab, etc., and so much of it seems like diversion. We clearly have a coup that was attempted in 2016 and completed in 2020. There is not only evidence, there is clear and compelling evidence and yet we pretend to be living in a viable nation. There’s a sense that if we go after justice, there will be a civil war. Barack Obama threatened as much in one of his friendly interviews a few days ago. The architect of the treason threatens punishment against those who would hold him accountable. Without even being a fan of Donald Trump, one must recognize the danger of allowing this to go unaddressed.” – T.L. Davis

The U.S. Economy Is in Serious Trouble — And Nobody Wants to Admit Who’s to Blame (VIDEO) – “Everywhere you look, the signs are flashing red. The U.S. economy is not in good shape — not even close. And despite what the talking heads on TV want you to believe, it’s not “about to bounce back” or “going through a normal cycle.” The truth is that it’s deteriorating fast. If you ask a Democrat who’s responsible, they’ll tell you it’s Donald Trump’s fault. Ask a Republican, and they’ll swear it’s all Joe Biden. But the truth is, both parties have had their hands in wrecking the economy — along with just about everyone who’s been in Washington for the past 50 years. The real problem is simple: they can’t stop spending.” – M.D. Creekmore

15 Things You Should NOT Do When The SHTF – “Plenty of attention is given to the things you should do when disaster strikes, but knowing what not to do when disaster strikes can be just as important. During a crisis, emotions run high, logic often takes a backseat, and panic can override even the best survival plan. One bad decision in those early moments can have serious consequences.” – Alan Urban

THE BIG PICTURE

Government Is Our Sin – “The poor are always with us. Jesus Himself acknowledged this ancient truth. No matter how hard people might work to eliminate poverty, there will always be those among us who fall on hard times, who struggle just to get by day to day. Even those who are ultimately successful in life occasionally struggle. I know this to be true, because I have lived that struggle more than once. I know what it is to be poor in body and in spirit. Neither circumstance is at all pleasant. Court orders or no court orders, our nation’s politics are disrupting people’s ability to feed themselves and their families. God’s Law is clear, and has been for millennia. We are called to feed the hungry. Our government will not answer this call on our behalf this month, at least not fully. That is disturbing.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Evangelicals and the Veneration of Israel Scofield and Zionized Christianity – “I was raised a Catholic. I still consider myself a Catholic, although it’s been a few years since I’ve been to Mass. I have many problems with the Church, as I do with organized religion in general. I have no problems with God. Or Jesus Christ. Who am I, with my poor intellectual capacity, to question the Creator of everything? Not that long ago, I started hearing a lot about the Scofield Bible, which birthed the evangelical movement just as surely as Joseph Smith’s Book of Mormon birthed theirs. Mormons are scoffed at by all other Christians, but Scofield Christians not only are tolerated, and even respected, they have become the face of modern Christianity in America 2.0.” – Donald Jeffries  – GOOD READ SUMMED UP QUITE NICELY!!!

THE HORRIBLE TRUTH ABOUT EVERYTHING (VIDEO) with Harley Schlanger – “From the founding of the intelligence agencies by the literally satanic bankers to the foundations of Israel and back to the international assassination bureau, Harley knows where the bodies are buried and he tells the TRUTH about all of it which is why he’s on Zelensky’s hit list.

Geoengineering Watch Global Alert News, November 1, 2025 (VIDEO) – “The subject of geoengineering is now constantly being bantered about by countless so called science sources that continue to pretend it’s all just a proposal and not actually raging in our skies. Bill Gates suddenly says there is no problem with the planet after all. Meanwhile, not so natural disease carrying mosquitos spread across the country and bunkers are being build below ballrooms in Washington DC. Hurricane Melissa and rare earth minerals recently discovered and disclosed in Jamaica, is there a connection? How long till the looming Mad Max reality unfolds and accelerates? ” – Dane Wigington

So after a generation, maybe two generations of children having been terrorized and turned into ghosts with raging futility and rising suicide rates over a non-existant future.” – Sylvia Shawcross

AI drones used in Gaza now surveilling American cities – “AI-powered quadcopter drones used by the IDF to commit genocide in Gaza are flying over American cities, surveilling protestors and automatically uploading millions of images to an evidence database. The drones are made by a company called Skydio which in the last few years has gone from relative obscurity to quietly become a multi-billion dollar company and the largest drone manufacturer in the US.” – Nathan Bear

Anarchism and Socialism are Burned into My Settler-Colonial DNA – “Family history makes an American ideology of its own. HOWEVER, just because one is part of the vanguard of the Revolution does not mean that one should be Big Kahune for Life, and if I can’t dance or speak my mind or pray to whichever weird god I choose, or not, then to hell with your revolution. And that is the way any Second American Revolution will be—cantankerous, distrustful of authority for good reason, determined to bring down the old order once and for all and if that means taking orders, for a time, so be it, but don’t start feeling entitled to your necessary authority. For if you do, regardless of your ideology and intentions, you become as corrupted by power as those you replaced, and there will be trouble.” – Ohio Barbarian

The 14 Early Warning Signs of Fascism – “The US economic system is deeply fascistic. The antidote is obvious. What few Americans seem to realize is that their country’s economic system has long been closer to fascism than they’d like to believe. More frightening is that other elements of fascism, cultural and political, are creeping into American society.” – Jon Miltimore

Benito Trump Gets Ready To Invade Venezuela? – “In a like manner, as in 1935, when Mussolini invaded Ethiopia, Trump seems prepared to invade another weak nation, Venezuela. Tulsi Gabbard denies Trump wants ‘regime change’, but she may simply be putting an obstacle in front of what looks to be coming. Meanwhile, Trump uses Mussolini’s playbook of lies to get Americans on board for murderous intent that has nothing to do with drug-running and everything to do with oil.” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

THE DEEPER DIVE: In Trump v Xi, Who Was the Biggest Loser? – “Hint: It is NOT who you think…. the biggest part of the current deal was that China is once again agreeing to do what it already agreed to do and then failed to do. Obviously, the same natural limitations on what China actually can do mean that Lu Si will pull the football on Charlie Brown again. A deal that sounds too good to be true because it is not even possible is certainly too good to be true.” – David Haggith

Why Are 42 Million Americans Relying On SNAP Benefits? – “Amid the furious debate over the government shutdown and the incoming freeze of SNAP food benefits, one important factor is often overlooked – Why are 42 million Americans, a number larger than the entire population of Canada, dependent on government subsidized groceries? Isn’t this a time bomb waiting to explode regardless of a federal shutdown? There have been a few temporary food stamp programs from the Great Depression through the 1950s, but they were limited in scale and funding was minimal.” – Tyler Durden

Pentagon Tells Congress It Doesn’t Know Who It’s Killing in Latin American Boat Strikes – “US War Department officials don’t know the identities of the 61 people who have been extra-judicially executed in US military strikes on boats in the waters near Venezuela and in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, POLITICO reported on Thursday, citing House Democrats who attended a classified briefing on the campaign.” – Dave DeCamp

Trump tells military to prepare for ‘action’ against Islamist militants in Nigeria – “US President Donald Trump has ordered the military to prepare for action in Nigeria to tackle Islamist militant groups, accusing the government of failing to protect Christians. Groups monitoring violence say there is no evidence to suggest that Christians are being killed more than Muslims in Nigeria, which is roughly evenly divided between followers of the two religions.” – Joseph Winter  – WHAT DOES NIGERIA HAVE.

The report accuses the network of using tactics resembling those of “sophisticated criminal enterprises,” alleging a coordinated effort to mask the source and purpose of the money.” – Frank Bergman

Frozen Russian assets and Eurobonds: EU’s Ursula von der Leyen plays hardball – ‘Deal or else’ – “The idea of a joint European loan to Ukraine using frozen Russian assets as collateral is considered problematic by most European governments within the European Union, especially by tiny Belgium, which has serious doubts about its use. Therefore, the EU – specifically Ursula von der Leyen – is resorting to grotesque means such as blackmailing the rebelling countries and using threats to obtain approval for the use of frozen Russian assets for Ukraine. This is because she has a plan that she thinks will work and pressure them: Eurobonds.” – Sonja van den Ende

Hoot of the Day: Trump Admits Beef Prices Are High Because of His Tariffs – “Trump’s Observations on Prices There is virtually no inflation. Cattlemen are doing well because tariffs have raised prices. The price setters are the packers. This is despite the fact that the PPI is up 26.5 percent from a year ago. Cattlemen don’t understand tariffs. Unlike you, I see absolutely no contradictions in any of this. This is Trumperland where contradictions do not exist by nature.” – Mish

They’ll just inflate or suppress fuels. But but either way you hold bonds, you lose.” -Andy.  “You know, if you look at a 1% increase in gold in um global portfolios, that equates to a demand at current prices of 25,000 tons. and it is not there.

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK (USED EARLIER THIS YEAR BUT WITH ALL THE SNAP “BS” GOING ON, HAD TO USE IT AGAIN AND YES, SOME PEOPLE ACTUALLY NEED THIS BENEFIT, UNLIKE THE OTHERS WHO ABUSE IT )

Dear Mr. President
I live in the suburbs
It’s a long way from Washington , D.C.
Had me a job
Workin’ for wages
Till the company moved out
And they forgot about me
Can’t draw unemployment
For some unknown reason
My kids are hungry
I’ve got four mouths to feed
I go out every day looking for suitable employment
Do you think there’s something you could do for me
Cause I’m

Down and out here in paradise
Down and out and I’m on my knees
I’m down and out here in paradise
Looks like the milk and honey
Done run out on me

Dear Mr. President
I used to be a dancer
Got a little bit too old
So I became a secretary
Married a man
In Las Vegas, Nevada
And ten years later
He ran out on the kids and me
Some said I was pretty
But those days are over
Now I’ve no place to live
And I’m out on the streets
Oh, Mr. President
Can I tell you a secret
I never ever thought that this could happen to me
Cause I’m

Dear Mr. President
I’m just a young kid
I’m in the fourth grade
At Riley Elementary
My mom and dad’s been actin’ funny
I’m not sure what
If it’s got something to do with me
My daddy’s always drunk
My mom’s a babysitter
And I don’t like the Russians
Cause I hear they hate me
Dear Mr. President
Can I ask you one question
When the bombs fall down
Will they hurt everyone in my family
Yeah, yeah
