THE BIG PICTURE

A Simulacrum of Dissent – “Why not have ChatGPT write a CJ Hopkins–style column for me, as me, about me using ChatGPT to write a CJ Hopkins–style column?  So I typed in the prompt. I hit enter. And then I sat back, waiting for the machine to produce a pitch-perfect imitation of my sardonic, grumpy, coffee-fueled tirades about the metastasizing technocratic panopticon we now call “normal life.” And dear reader, the machine did not disappoint.  It mimicked the tone, the cadence, the rhetorical flourishes, even the little parenthetical asides I sprinkle in to remind everyone I’m not entirely insane — just “sanity-adjacent.” But something was off. There was no menace. No whiff of cigarette smoke curling up from the edge of the page. No faint smell of the moldy basement office in which real writers actually write their subversive prose. Just a sterile, well-behaved, corporately-approved simulacrum of dissent — a kind of ideological tofu shaped like me but lacking any flavor. It was like reading a censored transcript of myself in a future show trial. And the worst part? It was… good. If the machine can imitate me imitating the machine imitating me, what exactly is left of “me”? This is how it happens, I thought. Not with boot-stomping brutality, but with an AI politely offering to auto-complete your revolution.” – CJ Hopkins

ChatGPT Revealed: The Techno-Satanic Plan for a Godless Future – “Silicon Valley’s Quest to Build What Cannot See, Hear, or Walk. The 39-year-old CEO of OpenAI sat down with Tucker Carlson recently and delivered a masterclass in evasion that would make any high-dollar defense attorney proud. Every pause calculated. Every word weighed. Every answer hedged with qualifications and escape routes. When asked directly about his spiritual views, Altman identifies as Jewish but immediately retreats from any literalist interpretation of scripture. He believes in “something bigger” beyond physics but admits he’s never felt communication from any higher power. No burning bush moment. No divine mandate. No prophetic vision justifying what he’s unleashing on humanity.” – Lily-Rose Dawson

Walmart Partners With OpenAI To Allow Customers To Make Purchases Using ChatGPT, Fulfilling Another World Economic Forum Agenda – ““We’re excited to partner with Walmart to make everyday purchases a little simpler. It’s just one way AI will help people every day under our work together,” said Sam Altman” – The WinePress

Reality Caught Up to ‘Climate Change’ – “The climate creed that once ruled unquestioned is cracking as energy needs, geopolitical reality, and basic science force the West to admit carbon isn’t dying anytime soon.” – Victor Davis Hanson

What happens when Gen Z has nothing to lose – “A young generation who feels the future has been denied to them can topple the old order. But they rarely control what rises in its place, making them useful pawns as a new order emerges.” – Collapse Life

Was Covid Always a CIA Plot? – “According to newly released emails, the United States Intelligence Community, led by the CIA and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, held regular meetings with Dr. Ralph Baric, one of America’s leading coronavirus experts, since at least 2015. Baric has been accused of engineering the Covid-19 virus in his lab at the University of North Carolina, but he has never had to testify about his role in the pandemic despite his well-documented collaboration with the Wuhan Institute of Virology.” – Brownstone Institute

The Temptations of Jesus – “The evidence that institutions invariably betray the principles upon which they are founded is everywhere around us. Where shall I start? With the Roman Catholic Church hierarchy and the sexual abuse scandals that have come to light? With the entire medical establishment during — and continuing after — covid? With the psychoanalytic societies and institutes worldwide? Musing upon such matters led me to revisit the temptations of Jesus during his forty days and nights in the wilderness.” – NewZealandDoc

“You Can’t Handle the Truth”: UK Health Watchdog Reportedly Refuses to Release Data on Vaccine Deaths – “The United Kingdom’s public health service is reportedly refusing to release data on the potential relationship between the COVID vaccine and excess deaths. The reason? It would upset people to know the truth. The question is whether British citizens have become so passive and yielding that they will support their government, keeping them from learning the facts about vaccines and allowing them to reach their own conclusions. The UK has long embraced speech controls and censorship to protect citizens from unacceptable views or what one criminal defendant was told were “toxic ideologies.”” – Jonathan Turley

DEVASTATING: Fully Vaccinated Surgeon Dies Suddenly Weeks After Losing 15-Year-Old Daughter to Turbo Cancer – “Dr. Singh, a 41 y/o breast cancer surgeon, died suddenly on November 5, 2025—just weeks after her 15 y/o daughter Haley passed away from an incredibly aggressive case of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. In an age where sudden deaths and lightning-fast turbo cancers are increasingly part of the public conversation, many are wondering how two seemingly inexplicable deaths could strike the same heavily vaccinated family within a single month. Frontline physicians stay fully up-to-date, often receiving every available booster as part of the institutional norm, and many assume the same medical path is safe for their children. In any other era, two sudden and unexplained deaths in the same family would spark a thorough forensic investigation. Today, even suggesting that seems taboo. ” – Baxter Dmitry via Lioness of Judah

Government Whistleblowers Get Suicided. Edward Snowden Got a Netflix Deal. Why? – “Real whistleblowers die young. Heart attacks at thirty. Robberies where nothing gets stolen but they take two bullets to the back of the head. Car accidents on empty roads. They don’t get book deals and speaking fees and fawning profiles in major publications. They get disappeared. So when someone with deep access to classified programs becomes the world’s most celebrated privacy advocate, living comfortably in Moscow while maintaining a massive public platform, you need to ask different questions.” – The Wise Wolf  – GOOD ARTICLE FROM THE WISE WOLF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where’s Bongino? – “Dan Bongino – the former Internet personality and current Trump administration official (he is the deputy director of the FBI) has gone remarkably silent since his awkward interview – alongside Kash Patel – during which questions about the Epstein Business were asked but answered with the constrained assurances of a man with a gun pointed at his head. The why begs some awful questions. Bongino was a scrapper. He was famous among conservatives, at least, for all the Biden Years – hammering away at whatever the latest outrage was. When he was appointed by Trump to high office, most of the people who voted for Trump were delighted. They assumed it heralded an accountability moment. At last! People – bad people – were going to be held responsible for the bad things they’d done. One especially bad person being Jeff Epstein,” – Eric Peters

Turn, Turn, Turn: To Everything, even Epstein, there Is a Season – “This has been a time of turning–a hard 180 over the past week by stocks, and an equally hard 180 by the president this weekend over the Epstein Files.” – David Haggith

“I’m Panicking WTF”: Cloudflare Outage Sparks Global Internet Chaos – “Cloudflare suffered a major internal service outage that disrupted multiple products globally and triggered widespread failures on major sites like X. The company says it does not suspect a cyberattack but acknowledges that errors, slow performance, and login issues are still occurring.” – Tyler Durden

Trump Now Fully Supports Releasing the Epstein Files – “(*minutes after calling the same idea “weak, stupid, and definitely a Democrat hologram”). Donald Trump has just completed what pundits are calling his sixth documented U-turn on the Epstein files—a maneuver so sharp NASCAR drivers are taking notes. Let’s review the presidential timeline of consistency: January: “Open the files.”  March: “The files don’t exist.”  June: “They exist but they’re a Democrat hoax.”  September: “The public can’t handle them.”  October: “I’ve read them. Yawn.”  Last week: “OVER. MY. DEAD. BODY.”  Yesterday: “Release the kraken!” The only predictable thing about Trump is the unpredictability” – Jenna McCarthy

Clown Show: Trump And Pam Bondi Appoint Attorney With Ties To Jeffrey Epstein To Investigate The Epstein Files – Another Psyop To Distract From Surveillance State Being Built – “The never-ending circus that is the U.S. government and this Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Looks like we’ve got some more “4-D Chess” going on here: appoint an affiliate and colleague of Epstein to investigate themselves of wrongdoing. What a clown show.” – The WinePress

US Marines Conducting Drills in Trinidad and Tobago, Just Miles From Venezuela’s Coast – “Maduro has criticized the US drills in the Caribbean island nation” – Dave DeCamp

Trump ‘OK’ with launching strikes in Mexico – “Military action has been pitched as a potential way to fight drug smuggling in the country” – RT

Kamala’s Memoir: Inside the Battle to Control Our Authoritarian Future – “Harris’s ‘107 Days,’ like Trump’s presidency, reveals a partisan showdown between two equally joyless visions of centralized authority.” – Paul Schwennesen

Old Lessons for New York – “Zohran Mamdani’s textbook false dilemmas are déjà vu all over again…” – Joel Bowman

Out of Money? Idi Amin Had a Simple Fix – “Idi Amin (1923-2003) was one of the most ruthless and oppressive dictators of the 20th Century. While Western media often mocked Amin, who ruled Uganda from 1971 to 1979, as a self-aggrandizing buffoon, they tended to overlook the atrocities he inflicted on his people. He murdered an estimated 300,000 Ugandans, many of them in brutal fashion. While historians and journalists have tended to focus on Amin’s dismal record on human rights, his economic policies are atrocities in their own right and also deserve attention. It’s easy to mock politicians like Amin and Maduro who saw printing money as a viable solution to their floundering economies. But before doing so, Americans should take a careful look at some of the spending and monetary trends in their own economy. If they don’t, they may one day find themselves in familiar straits.” – Jon Miltimore

The Technocratic Trump Administration: The Zionist Infiltration Expands – Derrick Broze

Conservatives shouldn’t be surprised that President Trump invited terrorist Julani to the White House and lifted sanctions against his jihadist goverhment in Syria – “An examination of Trump family business ties in the Middle East goes a long way toward explaining the moves that shocked MAGA.” – Leo Hohmann

Canada’s Descent Into Oblivion? – “Can Canada Transcend the Choke Hold of the Trudeau/Carney Succession?” – Anthony James Hall

The Russia-Ukraine War Rages On – “Is Ukraine Close to Collapse? War is inherently unpredictable, and Russia remains a country with an immense nuclear arsenal. The wise policy is to find a way to end the war so that Ukraine survives, Russia stands down yet feels unthreatened by NATO expansion, and both sides can begin to heal. With all the challenges facing us as humans on this beleaguered planet, we really must find a way to stop killing each other in seemingly endless wars.” – Bill Astore

Poland’s Railroad Sabotage Incident Is Highly Suspicious – “This might be a false flag to undermine the partial de-escalation of Polish-Belarusian tensions and provoke a worsening of Russian-US ones.” – Andrew Korybko

Americans Are So Poor That Now Even Eating At McDonald’s Is Considered To Be “Prohibitively Expensive” For Many People – Michael Snyder

More Americans are falling behind on their utility bills, analysis shows – “Families are projected to pay nearly $1,000 on average for their utility bills during the winter months, according to analysis from the Century Foundation. Over the past three years, utility bill prices have spiked nearly 40%. On average, most Americans spend almost $300 a month on utility bills.” – Daniel Miller  – UTILITIES ARE UP 40%, HOUSE AND CAR INSURANCE ARE UP 20%, REALS ESTATES TAXES ARE UP 20%. SURE GLAD SOCIAL SECURITY IS GIVING EVERYONE A 2.8% INCREASE. AND THEY SAY THE INFLATION RATE IS 3%. BULL SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A record share of home builders are slashing prices to boost sales. Here’s why it isn’t working. – “Concerns about the economy and the cost of living are outweighing the appeal to buyers of cheaper newly built homes, builders say” – Aarthi Swaminathan

Home Depot cuts earnings outlook as home improvement demand falls short of expectations – “Home Depot fell short of third-quarter earnings estimates, its third straight miss, and cut its full-year profit outlook. The company said slow consumer spending and a weaker housing market have made home improvement demand worse than it expected.” – Melissa Repko

Navigating the curve – The allure and risks of long-dated US Treasuries – “Compared to a year ago, the US Treasury curve has steepened considerably. While yields at the front end have dropped due to anticipated rate cuts, the long end of the curve has not budged. In fact, long-end bonds have sold off, giving bond investors the opportunity to lock in elevated yields. Running fiscal deficits when yields are high and debt-to-GDP levels are elevated can be risky business. The US is currently doing just that which explains why the bond market has revalued the compensation it demands for owning long-dated US Treasuries.” – Mario Eisenegger

A Tsunami of Liquidity is Coming in 2026 – “In the very simplest of terms, the cost of money/ credit in the financial system is dropping rapidly. And this is happening at the same time that central banks AND governments are flooding the financial system with new money. Both the Bank of Canada and the Fed have ended or will end their Quantitative Tightening (QT) programs soon. Both banks will launch QE (the process of printing new money and using it to buy assets) soon after. The ECB, BoE and SNB aren’t far behind on this either. One whiff of asset price deflation and they’ll all be printing money too. So again, a tsunami of liquidity is coming to the financial system.” – Graham Summers, MBA

What’s Next for Silver Prices? – “After making new all-time intraday highs last week, there are all sorts of prognostications regarding what’s next for the silver price. Let’s discuss the most likely scenario today. First and foremost, we need to establish that this time IS different. In short, the situation in silver is not analogous to price action from decades ago. Instead, the most likely scenario going forward is a path similar to the one taken by gold in early 2024. The gold price has doubled since it broke out in March of 2024, and a similar move in silver will take price to $100/ounce by mid-late 2027. ” – Craig hemke

Dramatic Year for Silver: Market On Pace for Fifth Straight Supply Shortfall – “The recent silver squeeze that pushed the silver price to a record high was partly due to a displacement of metal. There was too much silver in New York and not enough in London and India. However, the situation underscored a more fundamental problem in the silver market. There isn’t enough metal being produced to meet demand.” – Mike Maharrey

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Livestock Guardian Dogs: The Silent Protectors Every Homestead Needs – “Livestock guardian dogs have been part of traditional farming for thousands of years, and for good reason. Long before modern fencing, alarms, or surveillance existed, a well-trained guardian dog was the only line of defense between a shepherd’s animals and the wild world beyond the pasture. Today, as predators return to rural areas and homesteads face growing vulnerability, these dogs remain one of the simplest, most natural, and most reliable forms of protection available. Their instincts do not weaken in a blackout, their reliability does not falter in a storm, and their loyalty does not depend on modern systems. That alone makes them invaluable to anyone striving for true self-sufficiency. What Makes a Guardian Dog Different?” – Self-Sufficient Projects Staff

How to Bug Out Before The Traffic Jams – “The goal here is to beat the traffic jams and get ahead of the chaos. If you follow the steps below, you’ll dramatically increase your odds of bugging out quickly and safely while the unprepared are still running errands, wondering what’s going on. Here are 10 tips to help you bug out fast.” – Brian Lassitter

DIY Cold Cellars for Hot Climates – “If you read old homesteading manuals, you’ll notice they make root cellars sound simple. Dig a hole, maybe add some timber framing, stock it with potatoes and carrots, and you’ve got cold storage covered. But people fail to realize that those instructions were written for people in Vermont and Michigan, places where the ground naturally stays cool and winter temperatures plunge below freezing for months. Try that approach in Arizona, Texas, or Southern California, and you’ll end up with a warm cave.” – Bob Rodgers

15 Best Foods for Root Cellars – “Root cellars are one of the best ways to store food, whether you’re a prepper or a homesteader. One of the reasons they’re so great is that they’re able to keep a pretty constant temperature year-round.” – Heidi Hawthorn  – FOR MORE ARTICLES ON OR ABOUT ROOT CELLARS BESIDES THE TWO TODAY, JUST SEARCH ROOT CELLARS OR CELLARS IN THE SITE’S SEARCH BAR!!!

5 Essential Strategies for Dealing with Ice-Covered Surfaces Off-Grid – “Winter on an off-grid property can quickly turn treacherous when every surface becomes a skating rink. Driveways, walkways, decks, and even your solar panels can become dangerously slick. Without municipal services or easy access to de-icing products, you need reliable and sustainable methods to handle ice on your own.” – denob

VERSES FOR THE DAY

Matthew 23:37-39    O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!  Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.  For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
