THE BIG PICTURE

When the Past Seems Better Than the Present – “This year, I’m grieving my brother who died way too soon. I’m missing others who are now estranged from the family. Back then, my parents were strong and healthy. Now they are slowing down and frail. Life moves forward, and things change. It’s one of the best parts of life and one of the hardest. Did you know the Bible warns us about living in the past?” – Kate Dreston

A Solution for a Created Problem – “Stop-and-go traffic is often worse than it needs to be because just as soon as the light you’re waiting at turns green, the one up ahead turns red. This is a problem that is easily remedied by timing traffic lights to turn red – and green – in sync, so that traffic flows more fluidly. If for no other reason, you’d think the geeks in charge would be diligent about light timing because it would save gas and reduce “emissions,” especially those of the (supposedly) dread gas CO2 that plants need to grow and which we need to breath, because plants “emit” O2. The fact that the geeks in charge do not time the lights to be in sync says a lot about their actual priorities. But – wait! – they have a solution to the problem of their own creation. Whenever you hear “broader implementation,” you ought to react to it the way you would if you heard Dueling Banjos while out for a hike in the woods.” – Eric Peters

Beneath the Concrete, the Soil Still Whispers – “If policymakers believe that urbanisation is the natural evolution of a modern nation-state, they should stop to consider that it is based on the deliberate outcome of policies that undermine rural self-sufficiency, commodify soil and force agrarian communities into precarity. Once traditional farming systems have been destabilised by the debt-trap of subsidised loans, structural adjustment policies, corporate input regimes, global supply chains, patented seeds and monocultural production, mass migration to cities becomes an inevitability engineered from above. The city thus absorbs the displaced because the countryside has been systematically stripped of opportunities or carved up for infrastructure or real estate schemes.” – Colin Todhunter

Would You Care for a Stroke with That Jab, Sir? – “Yes, sometimes young people have strokes. Sometimes they get cancer. Mostly they don’t. And when well-established population incidence of something such as ALS or stroke or infertility or cancer or lupus, etc., suddenly shoots up, there is always a cause. It is the work of epidemiology, forensics, pathology and similar to look at the pattern and find the cause so it can be remedied. If, that is, there is any real desire to fix the problem. When the problem is that there is a concerted effort to cause, not fix, the problem because the problem is seen, by someone at the controls, as the solution to some other problem, well, Houston, we most certainly do have a problem.” – Rima E Laibow MD

Federal Register Watch 2025: FDA’s Strategy Document on INNOVATIVE MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGIES – “Just what we need! As I mentioned in my last post, tis the season to watch the Federal Register. What is the Federal Register, you ask? It’s basically the federal government’s daily diary. It’s the place where agency actions, notices, rules, presidential orders, etc get logged. It’s a pain in the ass to sift through, and a lot of boring bullshit…but they do tell you what they are doing – and they log it. Historically, the holiday season is when contentious items get pushed through.” – Conspiracy Sarah !

More People Using AI For Key Life Decisions: Are We Giving Up Control? – “If people can be conned without the use of AI to believe in “climate change,” wear MK Ultra masks for 0.125 micron viruses, and subject themselves to Modified mRNA slow kill bioweapon “vaccines,” then imagine what kinds of manipulated behaviors can be achieved when society is socially engineered to rely on AI for all of its thinking?” – 2nd Smartest Guy in the World

Is Australia Silencing Kids by Banning Them From Social Media? – “Freedom of speech or entertainment? Most teenagers argue with their parents about screen time. In Australia, they’re arguing with the entire federal government.” – Kelli Ballard

THOSE TWO TERMS ALONE SHOULD TELL YOU ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS PARTNERSHIP!!!

Not like us – “How CEOs trick us into paying them more. They try to convince you that corporate CEOs deserve compensation at thousand multiples of average workers because of the value they add. Because of how hard they work. But do they really? Years of observation tell me, while many c-suite executives can create value it’s not commensurate with their pay. What makes them so special? Why are CEOs worshipped and given tribute like gods when they’re just run-of-the-mill intelligent, hard workers?” – Sarah Connor

WHO–Gates Blueprint for Global Digital ID, AI-Driven Surveillance, and Life-Long Vaccine Tracking for Every Person – “Automated, cradle-to-grave traceability for “identifying and targeting the unreached.”” – Jon Fleetwood

The Constitution vs. the Commander-in-Chief: The Duty to Disobey Unlawful Orders – “Every military servicemember’s oath is a pledge to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. It is not an oath to a politician. It is not an oath to a party. And it is not an oath to the police state. Yet what happens when those same men and women are being told—by their own government—that obedience to power and loyalty to a political leader come before allegiance to the Constitution they swore to uphold? That question isn’t hypothetical.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

NATO Thinks Of ‘Pre-emptive Strikes’ Against Russia To ‘Defend’ Against Something That Did Not Happen – “As it is becoming obvious that Ukraine is losing in the proxy war against Russia, the ideas European governments are are throwing around are getting more crazy. Some are now eager to ‘pre-emptively’ attack Russia in ‘retaliation’ for alleged ‘hybrid attacks’ against European countries. Those ‘hybrid attacks’ are mostly pure fantasies.” – Moon of Alabama

ECONOMIC NEWS

GOT GOLD FOR THE COMING RECKONING? – “The Financial Times reported that China is under-reporting their gold reserves, subversively hiding the fact they have accumulated 10 times as much gold as they have officially reported. The charts and data below from Visual Capitalist are based on “officially” reported numbers. Even these fake numbers show China accumulating gold at a rapid pace over the last five years. According to these charts, The U.S. supposedly has 8,133 tons of gold, but Trump’s unfulfilled promise to audit Fort Knox puts that figure in doubt. Officially, China has the sixth largest amount of gold at 2,280 tons. Unofficially, China’s reserves are at least 5,000 tons, with some estimates exceeding the U.S. levels.” – Jim Quinn

“Deckchairs” On The Titanic? – “True, many market metrics don’t show it – but how many deckchairs told the Titanic’s passengers they were heading for the iceberg? Markets have a vital role, as do chairs, but expecting them to reflect the potential enormity of what’s going on could end up with you being in very cold water. Here are two recent headlines to send a shiver down spines: ‘Fear and loathing come for Bitcoin as big investors ponder selling’ (Australian Financial Review); and, ‘It’s time to sound the alarm on growing fiscal and financial risk’ (Financial Times) as “Rising public debt is one concern – another is how it is being financed.” Of course, things look healthier in other areas.” – Michael Every

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Ingenious Solar-Powered Projects Inspired By the Amish – “The idea of the Amish using a technology like solar panels seems to contradict the lifestyle many of us assume about their culture and society. But the Amish actually see solar power as a resource that aligns perfectly with their dedication to independence, self-reliance and self-sufficiency. What the Amish shun are things like the power grid or the Internet. They are determined to remain free of networks and any dependence on outside influences or connections. Solar power actually fuels that independence and they have embraced it across a variety of uses.” – Steve Nubie

Establishing Relationships With Other Survival Groups – “When disaster strikes, your own supplies, skills, and security matter—a lot. But one of the most overlooked force-multipliers in preparedness isn’t gear or food storage. It’s relationships. Strong alliances with other survival groups can mean the difference between standing alone and forming a network capable of weathering long-term collapse. Below is a practical, prepper-focused guide to building these relationships before they’re needed.” – denob
