The Evidence is Clear: Masks Don’t Do Anything. – “We’re being hit with the “Super Flu” (allegedly), and that means everyone wants us to wear masks again. We went over this (a lot) in 2020. Then we went over it again in 2023. Masks don’t work, they never worked, and – prior to 2020 – the academic literature was very clear on this.” – Kit Knightly

DARK POLICIES: Under Governor Pritzker, Illinois Is the Newest US State To Implement Assisted Suicide – “Illinois is going down yet another dark path. The democratic government that President Donald J. Trump calls a ‘fat slob’ leads a government with a perpetual commitment to death – be it in abortion, be it by freeing cold-blooded killers in the streets of his violent state, be it in his new initiative with assisted suicide policies. Sure enough, as is the case anywhere, the policies are first presented as ‘only for special circumstances’, only to be quickly escalated, in the context that the safeguards are not even enforced.” – Paul Serran   – IS ILLINOIS THE NEW CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What really happens when income is guaranteed (VIDEO) – “Dr. David Bell explains the devastation he saw in communities living on guaranteed income and why the same model is quietly being imported into the West.. For years, the World Economic Forum and United Nations have advocated for a simple idea: The future will be automated, frictionless, and convenient — and if work dries up, don’t worry. We’ll just pay everyone a basic income. It’s a feel-good sales pitch, but the reality is far from happy. What happens to a society when survival is guaranteed but purpose disappears? What happens when the paycheck comes only if you behave?” – Collapse Life

Marcus Allen and Scott Henderson on the Apollo Moon Missions: Part 1 (VIDEO) – “Examining the evidence – with assistance from Robert Wagner. One of the truly great disappointments of my adult life was discovering, after I conducted my own investigative efforts, that the Apollo moon missions I so revered as a teenager and beyond, were — to put it bluntly — faked.” – New Zealand Doc

A Genocide of the Willing – “Exposing the myth of democracy. This is shocking to those who have been able to live in a bubble, away from the realities faced every day by others. For the greater share, though, it is a mere confirmation of an already understood reality. But it is those who can be shocked by that truth that must be shocked, so they can understand the future as it unfolds, rather than as if standing in a river, unknowing the source of their saturation. The EU now faces, an exposure of its tyrannical policies thinly disguised as the will of the people. Despite the fact that none of the leaders in the EU were voted into office by the populations of those they rule over, they claim some vague connection with democracy. It’s a worldwide drift to totalitarianism that’s in the works here and many support it, as stupid as that sounds. ” – T.L. Davis

Reflections from the Heart of the Empire: Flexes of Futility – “Practically begging Venezuela to kill American pilots to provide a remotely plausible cassus belli, two Navy F/A-18 fighter jets flew into the Gulf of Venezuela on a “routine training mission.” That’s like saying Russian jets flying into Chesapeake Bay is a routine training mission. Unfortunately for Trump, Venezuela didn’t bite,” – Ohio Barbarian

Two US Soldiers & A Civilian Killed, Several More Wounded, In Central Syria Ambush – “Washington’s Syria intervention is the mess that keeps on giving…” – Tyler Durden

Collective Bargaining Or Soft Coup? The Real Stakes Of Federal Unions – “The surface framing was familiar, a story about “workers’ rights” and bipartisanship, but the deeper issue is more basic and more troubling. When the state’s own employees band together to exert organized pressure on the elected government, the usual picture of a free people bargaining with a private employer no longer fits. Something closer to an inversion of republican government begins to take shape.” – Amuse on X

The Tenpenny Files (VIDEO ) with Gail Eisnitz – “The Killing Floor Truth the Meat Industry Has Spent Decades Burying. Most Americans have never seen the inside of a modern slaughterhouse. That is not an accident. It is the result of a system built on secrecy, speed, and silence. Gail explains how massive slaughter operations now process animals at speeds that defy logic. Conscious animals are routinely skinned or dismembered while fully aware of what is happening to them. Workers, many undocumented and desperate, describe the emotional destruction that follows them long after their shift ends. What Gail documents is not simply cruelty. It is industrialized violence.” – Dr. Sherri Tenpenny

Is it Russia that really wants another world war? – “The solution to avoid a disaster of global proportions would be for NATO to simply back down, because when Russia, with its destructive potential, is pushed to the point where it might need to use everything it has to survive, the entire world is in serious trouble (to put it mildly).” – Drago Bosnic

Ukraine War Comes To… The Caspian Sea – “Ukraine has extended the war to a far flung body of water and unexpected place. Ukraine’s military has newly revealed that its special forces conducted successful operations against Russian oil, military, logistics assets in the Caspian Sea. The Caspian Sea is some 700 miles from the front lines in Ukraine, and is the world’s largest inland body of water, which is bordered by Russia and Kazakhstan to the north and Iran to the South, among other small countries.” – Tyler Durden

ECONOMIC NEWS

Inflation Feels Like a Flood, but the President Says, Nothing to Worry about; it’s Just a Trickle – “Shoppers are strongly complaining about how much they struggling under inflation this Christmas season as they try to buy gifts. The Trump Administration, on the other hand, keeps insisting it is all a Democrat hoax, and conveniently, hasn’t gotten an actual inflation report out in months for us to see whether we have a flood of inflation or not. So, you can believe the work-deluged (due to DOGE firings), long-shutdown Bureau of Belabored Statistics with its much belated and beleaguered reports, or you can believe the cries of shoppers like yourself in more than one recent poll.” – David Haggith

Inflation Alert! Money Supply Increasing at Fastest Rate Since 2022 – Mike Maharrey

‘Trading Sardines’ and Paper Silver – “There is an old trading story about sardines, and it’s surprisingly relevant to silver today. Sardines were in high demand, and the price of a can supposedly soared 10x at one point. A micro-bubble developed. It got so bad that people were mostly trading the tinned fish rather than eating it. One day, a hungry miner paid through the nose for one of these cans. He opened it and was surprised to find horribly rotten fish. He stormed over to the traders’ shop, and demanded to know what was going on. The trader told him, “You fool! Those are trading sardines, not eating sardines.” Today there is a dynamic in silver markets somewhat similar to the old sardine story. Paper silver contracts like those traded on the COMEX exchange outnumber physical silver by perhaps 200x. In other words, there are a lot more silver IOUs floating around than real bullion.” – Adam Sharp  – GOOD ANALOGY AND EXPLANATION ON THE SILVER MARKET!!!!

The Market Is “Very Fragile” (VIDEO) with Lance Roberts – “Despite the markets trading at all-time highs and likely to end the year up near +20%, they are “very fragile” warns portfolio manager Lance Roberts. Record margin debt, AI buildout concerns, record valuation levels, highly optimistic earnings expectations, and credit market stresses each and all could trigger a market correction in 2026.” – Adam Taggart | Thoughtful Money®

How To Sharpen Your Homesteading Tools In Minutes – “Stop tossing out your tools the moment they go dull! Sharpening them is simpler than you think! And here’s the scary part: dull tools don’t just slow you down, they’re also the ones most likely to injure you! A sharp blade is safer, requires less force to use, and helps you work more efficiently, especially in a homestead or emergency setting where your energy matters.” – Olivia Brooks

Your Home Might Become a Death Trap Without This – “As most people, you most probably think that bugging-in means food, water, medical supplies, and security. All of those matter, and every serious prepper keeps them high on the list. Yet there’s something far more basic. So basic that many households overlook it entirely and it silently decides who survives a crisis and who doesn’t. It’s air. Or, more precisely, the quality and movement of the air inside your home.” – Jack

Bartering: Get the Services You Need With Cashless Exchanges – “For me, there are many reasons I prefer to participate in cashless exchanges. First, I don’t have a lot of cash! So, that means I need to get creative sometimes about how to make things happen on the homestead. Second, cashless exchange is more in keeping with my values: I believe in community, buying local where I live, and nurturing relationships. When I emphasize cashless exchange in my local dealings, I can live by my values, which is more satisfying to me. ” – Colette
