THE BIG PICTURE

New Year, Better Year, an obligatory communication – “We live in a world defined by wielders of great power. We live in the spaces delineated by them. Unless we amass an opposing power to oppose the inevitable march of Power towards greater aggrandizement, we will be fodder, pure and simple. Covid showed just how perilous our position is — we who have been raised in our ‘civilized’ Western world of democratic slogans. Power is not terribly kind. To get its way it will maim, murder and annihilate. The single most important element that stands in the way of a truly united front against Power is the inability of our so-called brothers and sisters in victimhood who REFUSE to believe that governments and other entities will lie, cheat, steal and kill, despite an historical record that is as long as it is bloody and despite the very obvious depredations during covid, which included the unnecessary and dangerous Jabs.” – New Zealand Doc

‘Super flu’ cases rising across US: What to know – “As the winter season fully kicks in, it’s expected that people across the country will get sick. Except this time, a new illness has sounded the alarm — the “super flu.” The “super flu” is a variant of influenza A H3N2 called subclade K that doctors say is more severe and takes longer to recover from. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the super flu first made headlines in the United Kingdom, before making its way over the Atlantic to the U.S” – Rob Taub  – BEWARE THE SUPER FLU. THIS YEAR’S SCARIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2025: The Year the Government Stopped Pretending It Cared About Freedom – “Some years chip away at freedom. Others tear the mask off. 2025 was the year the government stopped pretending it was constrained by the Constitution—when executive power expanded openly and unapologetically, surveillance became ambient, dissent became dangerous, and the machinery of militarized government embedded itself into daily life. Under Trump 2.0, the erosion of civil liberties gave way to something more brazen: the dismantling of constitutional government itself.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

Stargate LLC: An American AI Project. Kind Of. (VIDEO) – “I’ve spent the last year documenting Larry Ellison’s empire. Media consolidation through his son’s acquisition of CBS and Paramount. The pursuit of Warner Brothers for CNN and HBO. Healthcare data through Oracle’s Cerner acquisition with 9.5 million patient records. Behavioral surveillance through TikTok ownership. Biometric data through facial recognition. Medical records through Oracle Health. I thought I understood what he was building. Surveillance capitalism at scale. But Stargate revealed what I’d been missing. This isn’t about predicting what you’ll buy or watch. This is about genomic data itself. The permanent hereditary code that makes all other surveillance inescapable. Because here’s what makes this different: You can delete your Facebook account. You can change your phone number and move cities. You can wear masks and avoid cameras and use cash if you’re determined enough. Behavioral surveillance is theoretically escapable. But you cannot change your genome.” – Audrey Henson

Most authors of an influential Lancet paper proposing a broader obesity definition declared pharmaceutical industry ties. – “NovoNordisk was mentioned 62 times, Eli Lilly 42, AstraZeneca 16, Pfizer 13, Amgen 7, Roche 4, Zealand Pharma 4. These are the companies that sell GLP-1s. They’re changing the clinical definition of obesity to expand their market. Widening definitions is Big Pharma’s most valuable tactic” – Jonathan Engler  –  WHAT A CROCK OF SHIT. NO WONDER THEY’VE GOT EVERYONE ON DRUGS AND THE DOCTORS JUST GO ALONG WITH IT.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The servant becomes the master. – “The corrupt are easy to capture. I’m not sure who needs to hear this, but there is nothing even remotely sophisticated about these endless Somali and NGO/immigration frauds. Not PPP, not food, not autism, and not daycare or welfare or SNAP or free rent. It’s all blatant, hammer in the face stuff. All these politicians and purported public servants knew full well what was occuring. They were all a part of it. They bragged about it. Listen to Tim Walz from the presidential debates. (This aged like a bait bucket left in the trunk of a car in July.) This is modern day Barbary piracy. The only difference is that it was invited in and protected by its patrons.” – El Gato Malo

The Massive Fraud Scandal No One Is Talking About – “Everybody’s buzzing about that Minnesota Medicaid mess with Gov. Tim Walz. Some are even calling it the largest fraud scandal ever. But what happened in the land of 10,000 lakes is tiny compared to the fraud in California under Gavin Newsom. Heck, it makes Minnesota look like pocket change. But here’s where things get really interesting. While pressure is on in Minnesota to get to the bottom of the state’s fraud, California seems to be under the radar. Now get this. Right in the middle of the fraud apocalypse, a new ballot initiative seeks to impose a one-time 10% wealth tax on billionaires’ assets.” – Matt Margolis

The Israeli Government Put My Name At The Top Of An ‘Antisemite’ List – “My name appears at the top of a list in a document the Israeli government released earlier this month in order to draw false associations between the Bondi Beach shooting and online criticism of Israel and its atrocities. This word “delegitimization” appears throughout the document, which I personally find funny. They knew the “antisemitism” claim couldn’t stand on its own, so they had to tack on this weird extra complaint about people “delegitimizing” the state of Israel — as though that’s a bad thing. I’ll always deny harboring any hatred toward Jews or Judaism, but I’ll happily admit to trying to delegitimize a genocidal apartheid state that cannot exist without nonstop violence and abuse.” – Caitlin Johnstone

Reflections from the Heart of the Empire: Recognitions, Strikes, and Madness – “Speaking of numero unos, have you ever noticed how often American and Israeli spokescritters incessantly babble about chopping off the head of a snake and so the snake will die? And then brag of chopping off said heads? How many times has Israel bragged about assassinating the head of the PLO, of Hamas, of Hezbollah, or of the Houthis? How many top Iranian military officers and scientists have been assassinated to a chorus of HALLELUJA ! from Western corporate media? How many times have Americans been told we must purge the evil Husseins, Khomeinis, Castros, Maduros, Kims, and Putins of the world? How many times has chopping off that snake’s head done nothing to the snake except to make it stronger? How many times have misses made the existing heads even stronger and more popular than ever?” – Ohio Barbarian  – THE BARBARIAN’S WEEKLY REFLECTIONS, GOOD AS USUAL!!!

They can only push so far – “Back in March, I addressed the outright hostility the left shows toward Christianity, how they mock the faith repeatedly, and simply assume Christians won’t do anything about it. Sooner or later, I suspect they’ll hit a point where that’s simply not the case anymore. It’s like they want the violence. And that scares the hell out of me, because once Christians start being violent like Muslims, then we’re likely to have some very horrible things happen in the name of God, but it will only escalate as the leftist media won’t get the intended message for quite a long time, thus making out like Christians have always been the threat. No good comes out of this, but how far can you push a group before they start pushing back?” – Tom Knighton

Trump Is Creating A Shadow CBDC Via His Direct Deposit ‘Trump Accounts’ Per The ‘One, Big, Beautiful Bill’ – “Millions of babies born over the next several years will have accounts created for them managed and held at the Federal Reserve, which is effectively a CBDC in practice.” – The WinePress

Somalis Gone Wild: The Wildest Migrant TikToks – “To the extent that they could ever have said to have been domesticated in the first place, the Somali migrant colonists of the West have gone feral in the aftermath of the mass exposure of their Minnesota fraud schemes. What follows is a compilation of their wildest TikTok declarations of war on Minnesota and the West more broadly.Moving right along, this one promises that he “will not tolerate” disrespect in the “state of Somalia,” even though he’s not in Somalia but in Minnesota.” – Ben Bartee

Hawkstone: Jeremy Clarkson’s Beer That Reminds Britain What It Is -“Britain is in the middle of a confidence crisis. You feel it in the daily irritations that have become permanent, the creeping sense that decisions are made far away from ordinary life, and the growing belief that the people who built the country are now expected to apologize for it. This is why Jeremy Clarkson’s Hawkstone Brewery matters. It is not just a celebrity sideline, and it is not just a good pint. It is a small and stubborn demonstration of what Britain looks like when it remembers that local work is dignified, that craft can be profitable, that rural communities are not an embarrassment, and that pride is not a pathology.” – Amuse on X

Zelensky claims to be discussing US deployment to Ukraine with Trump – “The American president had repeatedly ruled out sending soldiers to defend the country” -RT

ECONOMIC NEWS  

Your bank doesn’t have your money – “When infinite paper meets reality. Remember Greece in 2015? Banks closed. ATMs limited to €60 per day. Then €50. People queuing for hours to withdraw their own money from their own accounts. That wasn’t theoretical. That was real people discovering they were unsecured creditors in a banking system that had taken exorbitant risks with their deposits. And I have a feeling it’s about to happen again. Not specifically in Greece. In banks across Europe that you’ve never heard were in trouble. Because they made bets on the two most boring asset classes imaginable. A metal. And bonds. Your deposit isn’t sitting in a vault with your name on it. It’s part of a giant pool that banks use to make investments, provide liquidity, and generate returns. When those investments go bad, your deposit becomes a liability banks can’t honor.” – No1  – GOOD READ, COULD HAPPEN IN THE U.S. AS WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!
