THE DAY ALBERTA STOLE YOUR WATER, AND YOU DIDN’T EVEN NOTICE- “Bill 7… Wake the Hell Up, Canada. Where is Yo057804ur Line in the Sand? And Alberta, yes, the very province that the rest of Canada thought was fighting for the people … the land of “strong and free”, just passed a law that hands control of your water to the provincial government with zero consultation, zero transparency, and zero regard for the people who depend on it.” – Connie Shields

Sweden and Switzerland Begin Reversing Course on the Cashless Society—but 2026 Will Still Require Vigilance – Breeauna Sagdal

Mass Surveillance Was Fine, Until Immigration Law Was Enforced – “There is no principled reason to oppose the use of Flock data against criminals and illegal aliens while having supported its use against the general public. If the system is intolerable because it enables warrantless tracking, then it was intolerable from the start. If it is acceptable when used for public safety, then it cannot suddenly become immoral when it enforces democratically enacted law. A city cannot claim to defend constitutional values while suspending them opportunistically. One cannot argue that citizens must live in a perpetual police lineup while insisting that illegal aliens deserve invisibility. That position is not civil libertarian. It is political.” – Amuse on X  – GREAT POINT, AND I’M SURE THE AUTHOR WAS BEING SOMEWHAT FACETIOUS BY SAYING IT WAS FINE!!!

Trump Openly Admits The Government Is Artificially Inflating Home Prices To Lock-Out Young Americans From Ownership – “Trump is fulfilling the central bank agenda – you will own nothing and be happy. His administration will make home affordability even more unattainable.” – The WinePress

Bill Gates, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla Ordered to Testify in Dutch COVID Vaccine Injury Lawsuit – “The court order relates to a lawsuit filed in 2023 by seven people injured by COVID-19 vaccines. One of the victims has since died. According to Dutch newspaper De Andere Krant, the lawsuit centers around the question “of whether the COVID-19 injections are a bioweapon.”” – Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D.

Zionist Israel Owns Trump: Therefore the Jews Control America – “Bold statement you may say, but is it really? Trump is still funding genocide by Israel to the tune of billions. Most of Trump’s Cabinet are either Zionists, or heavy Israeli sympathizers. More and more weapons are flowing from the U.S. to Israel, and Trump is pushing hard to save the genocide-loving Netanyahu from prosecution for war crimes, and is hosting this monster once again at the White House on December 29th. In the interim, Netanyahu is threatening the U.S. and the rest of the West if they do not bow to the Jewish State, and Trump’s biggest money supporter (controller) is the billionaire Miriam Adelson, who has offered Trump another $250 million to run again in 2028. It seems nothing disturbs the U.S. political class when it comes to Israel, whether the USS Liberty attack, the 9/11 false flag with massive Jewish involvement, or the Australia false flag attack at Bondi that appears to have been staged by the Zionists.” – Gary D. Barnett

Reflections from the Heart of the Empire: Shenanigans and Retreats – “The US conducted at least 70 “strikes” in Syria, supposedly against ISIS, in retaliation for the killing of two Iowa National Guard solders and the wounding of three more. Why? Let me see if I’ve got this: ISIS is funded by the CIA, Israel, and some Gulf States. According to Trump, the troops are in Syria “for the oil.” Therefore, ISIS must kill some Americans every once in awhile in order to prove that Syrian oil deserves the protection of our reservists more than any stupid disaster victims in America do. MAGA! No wonder Trump’s approval rating has soared to a tropospheric 36%.” – Ohio Barbarian

Trump Says ‘It Would Be Smart’ for Venezuela’s Dictator Maduro To Leave Power and Flee the Country (VIDEOS) – “The conflict between the US and Venezuela has evolved from an anti-drug operation to a siege involving sanctioned tankers, oil reserves, and the future of the Bolivarian Socialist Republic.” – Paul Serran

The British State Needs WWIII to Stave Off Civil War – “Colonel Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, has responded to Britons’ general disinterest in WWIII by arguing that anyone who doesn’t want to fight for the government should be expelled from the United Kingdom. He also says that welfare programs must be cut to pay for war. In other words, after importing tens of millions of foreigners to take the jobs of native Britons, the military Establishment is giving unhappy and unrepresented Britons a choice: leave your homeland or die for “the State.” When Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton recently claimed that “more families will know what sacrifice for our nation means,” this is what he had in mind. No wonder common Brits have little interest in WWIII. Send the “elites” to war instead!” – J.B. Shurk

Secretary of State Marc Rubio Celebrates Return of Neoliberalism in Bolivia. “Prosperity will Benefit Private Foreign Investors” – “Trump’s corollary to the Monroe Doctrine is focused on continued exploitation of Latin America’s natural resources” – Kurt Nimmo

How Ursula turned the EU into a laughingstock – “They do not realize that the rest of the world is literally spitting them out and that they are completely destroying themselves.” – Sonja van den Ende

Flip the Script – “What if white people in the public interface started saying, “ We do not need black, brown, Asian people?” There would be a backlash that would be furious from the leftist/communists.” – Bert Powers

Amateur Sleuths Beat Bondi with Copy-Paste and Expose Epstein’s Entire Client List – “The cover-up is falling apart and the DOJ is too stupid to stop it The DOJ says the redactions were made to protect victim privacy. That sounds reasonable until you realize they also left several victims’ names completely unredacted in documents where those same victims had previously been granted protection. They couldn’t even keep their story straight. They protected the predators and exposed the victims, and now they want credit for being careful.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

Hunter Biden Claims “Laptop from Hell” Never Existed – “Oh, and the dog ate his rent check and the crack fairy planted all those videos in his accidentally public Dropbox.” – Jenna McCarthy

Christmas Eve Gold Rush: $4,500 Gold, $70 Silver (VIDEO) – Mike Maharrey

Time For a Silver Volatility Spread? – “A bet against boredom. 2025 was the year silver stackers were waiting for. The metal blew through $40/oz, then $50 and $60 without a backward glance, and is now testing $70. Many of you are suddenly rich. Nicely done! But now we’re in an interesting place. Silver’s chart screams “overbought, correction imminent!” while its fundamentals make a parabolic spike a distinct possibility in the coming year. So what should we do? Generally speaking, if you’re stacking physical, just keep on with it and don’t sweat the squiggles. Triple-digit silver is inevitable, and you want to be locked and loaded when it arrives.” – John Rubino

COMEX Position Changes | Silver Price Analysis – Craig Hemke

$60 Oil Is No Longer a Floor – “Things are not looking good for oil, with Trump’s belligerent rhetoric vis-à-vis Venezuela only pushing ICE Brent futures to $60 per barrel after a slide below that psychological threshold earlier in the week. Sanctions against Russia or threats thereof have by now desensitized the market towards Russian supply risks, once again demonstrated by the lack of price movements after Ukraine targeted another shadow fleet tanker in the Mediterranean. Against this background, oil could easily end the year below $60. ” – Tom Kool

Intensifying Shortage: This Is What A Run On The London Silver Market Looks Like – David Jensen

400 OZ VS 22,000 OZ: CHOOSING THE TRUE KING OF METALS 1.6 Mio. USD vs 1.1 Mio. USD: Measuring True Monetary Value (VIDEO) – “22,000 ounces of silver sit beside a single 400-ounce gold bar. The comparison reveals a core monetary truth: gold concentrates value, silver distributes it. Both are money — but they serve different functions in wealth preservation.” – Egon von Greyerz  – VERY GOOD VIDEO IF YOU WANT TO UNDERSTAND THE RATIONAL FOR OWNING SILVER AND GOLD!!!

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

3 Action Items for 2026 – “Stop feeling overwhelmed. If you feel paralyzed by the scale of what is happening, understand that movement is the only cure for dread. Taking a single step replaces abstract fear with concrete agency. Doing something real alleviates the depression that comes from watching a screen and waiting for the end. None of these goals ensure long-term safety. A large enough hurdle will still break most people. However, these actions prevent you from being forced into a desperate move during the first wave of a crisis. They provide the time necessary to assess the new reality and choose a different path.” – Sarah Connor   – GOOD ONE FROM SARAH. I WOULD ADD A 4TH, GET REAL MONEY IN THE VARIOUS FORMS OF GOLD AND SILVER FOR WEALTH PRESERVATION AND BARTERING!!!!

Homestead Skills Are What Carry You Through Winter: Practical Readiness for Canadian Conditions – denob

The Winter Crop That Can Replace Fertilizer for the Rest of Your Life – “This Ugly Perennial Can Feed Your Garden for 20 Years (And No One Sells It Anymore) Even though the fields up here are locked in ice and the garden beds look like a graveyard right now, winter is actually the perfect season to make one quiet, life-changing decision for your soil.” – ‘Bill Heid

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to TEOTWAWKI – Part 1 – “For those who find themselves up Schumer Creek with no reliable means of travel to their bug-out location and for all the rest whose transportation for a million other reasons won’t be taking them to their retreat, hitchhiking can a viable means of travel. This article is written based on my experiences hitchhiking in the US and abroad, and my experiences picking up hitchhikers over the years. I hitchhiked home as recently as last year when my farm truck had a problem that wasn’t DIY fixable.” – St. Funogas

Foraging in Winter: The Harsh Truth – “Most people who get into wild food do it when the land is generous. Leaves are broad and easy to identify and berries hang at eye level. Mushrooms announce themselves after rain and even some mistakes are usually forgiving. That experience quietly trains people to believe that foraging is a year-round skill that simply slows down when winter hits. That belief breaks down fast once the ground freezes.” – Bob Rodgers

VERSES FOR THE DAY

Luke 2:8-11   And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.  And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.  And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.  For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.   Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

Luke 2:15    And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
