THE BIG PICTURE

Dead Eyes Don’t Lie – “Society Normalizes and Incentivizes Satanic Pop Culture Child Groomers. Most parents remain unaware that when they invite a television, an internet connection, or digital devices into their child’s world without guidance and limitations, they usher agents of the Groomer Industrial Complex into the foundations of the child’s psychosocial formation. By the time that child reaches adulthood, they will either spend years repairing the damage carved into them, or they will move through life absorbing harsh lessons shaped by the wounds of their youth. American parents have no idea how much of the national economy depends on shut-them-up parenting—”- The Good Citizen

What is Sanchar Saathi, India’s politically contentious cyber safety app? – “India on Wednesday withdrew a mandate requiring smartphone makers to preload a state-owned cyber safety app called Sanchar Saathi on all new devices following an outcry over fears of government snooping in the world’s most populous nation. Currently available in Apple and Android app stores, Sanchar Saathi is billed as a citizen-centric safety tool. On November 28, India’s telecom ministry privately asked all smartphone manufacturers to preload their new devices with the app, stating that it must be “visible, functional, and enabled” upon first setup. It also said manufacturers must ensure that users cannot disable or restrict the app’s features. For devices that are already manufactured, companies were told they must install the app via software updates. The mandate became a talking point on prime-time television and social media, drawing sharp criticism from privacy advocates and members of the political opposition.” – Arpan Chaturvedi and Munsif Vengattil  – “BIG BROTHER” INDIA!!!!!!!!

The Key To Understanding The Cult Of Globalism’s War On The West – “The culture war in the western world is currently hitting a crescendo. At first the media said it was all “conspiracy theory” being amplified by a “fringe minority” of radical right wingers. Then, they admitted the conflict was real but claimed that conservatives were monsters trying to “dismantle democracy”. Today, the culture war has become the dominant issue of our age with the debate echoing through the halls of the White House. Leftists hoped they could make it all go away by dismissing it. They hoped they could continue with their ideological takeover at their leisure. They failed. The rebellion in the US is a product of decades of effort by liberty advocates and it is finally bearing fruit.” – Brandon Smith

When They Say “Democracy,” They Don’t Mean “Democracy” – “On the surface, the left pretends to want outcomes that favor their roster of designated victim groups: women, dark-skinned people, and sexual outliers, the familiar cast of characters with its tiresome scripts. But that’s not what they really want. They don’t really care about the “marginalized.” What they really want is power. The “marginalized” are just their clients and shock troops. They want to push everybody around, tell them how to live, and what to think, including the marginalized. The “democracy” cultists are foremost against freedom of speech, because speech is what distinguishes human beings among the rest of the animal kingdom, and if you allow it, human beings are liable to develop ideas —” – James Howard Kunstler

He’s Lying About TINY CARS – “Trump says – he posted on social media – that he has “just approved TINY CARS to be built in America.” The ALL CAPS are his. Also the lie. Trump is either utterly ignorant of the regulatory (legal) realities or he is – to put it bluntly – full of shit. It has got to be the latter because he surely has heard from people who do know better, such as Sean Duffy – who is the secretary of transportation. Duffy cannot conceivably be unaware of the existence of his own regulatory bureaucracy, nor of the existence of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) that require all cars – including TINY ones – to have air bags and to be fully in compliance with every regulation promulgated in the FMVSS. Compliance isn’t optional. No manufacturer is going to waste the R&D money bringing TINY cars into compliance. either.  Because the end result would be a TINY car with a BIG price tag.” – Eric Peters

Birthright Citizenship at SCOTUS, Returning to Text, History, and Allegiance – “The Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment contains fourteen words before the comma, and three of them still do most of the work. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States. Those words are spare, yet they direct the reader toward a demanding idea, citizenship follows allegiance. President Trump’s Executive Order 14160 asks whether a birth that occurs while both parents lack any lawful and durable tie to the US satisfies that condition. The answer, rooted in text, history, structure, and the very logic of membership, is no. The Supreme Court has now agreed to decide this question. Begin with the text itself. If the framers meant that every birth on US soil confers citizenship, the qualifying phrase would serve no function. They did not say, all persons born in the United States are citizens. They wrote, born here and subject to the jurisdiction.” – Amuse on X

Trump 2.0 is chugging down the same dubious path as Trump 1.0, fixing to shower crony capitalist speculators with massive windfall gains via a public offering of the shares of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (GSEs or Government Sponsored Enterprises). Uncle Sam, of course, is the proud owner of these two economic mutants owing to his insensible $180 billion bailout 17 years ago.

This World in Which We Live Is Mad – “Many on this earth choose to cling to religions, gods, and rulers, instead of remaining in self, thinking that the spiritual can only be what someone else says it should be. Ancient texts and writings, all put together by mortal men are cherished, believed, studied, worshipped, and rewritten a thousand times over. Creation does seem more than likely, for how else could man and life on earth exist, but man’s explanation about these matters is horribly lacking in my estimation. This world is coming apart at the seams, and this has always been the case throughout history as far as anyone knows. There is and has been for an eternity, war and killing, rape, abuse of children, genocide, power-seekers, theft, torture, enslavement, hate, and murder, and this continues every single day. The difference now is technology. With AI, digital IDs, digitized systems, and advanced weaponry, man’s task of killing each other is much easier and advancing at an accelerating pace.” – Gary D.

Divorcing the Empire – “The American contract, a combination of Constitution and myth, is unraveling like the marriage of an unimaginative yet loyal wife who wakes up to find the money gone, eviction imminent, and he loves another. Further, in a battle for the kids, or any remaining resources, our lying spendthrift plays cards with the judge and drinks with the sheriff, while we are friendless. This is late stage American empire. Some citizens still refuse to acknowledge the empire, much less our dead broke, meddling, force-driven and corruption-wracked empire led by fools and grifters. But a growing number do.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

A Welder Is Worth A Thousand Words – “The one recurring theme in American politics today is the utter inability to punish criminality. One suggestion is that they’re all in on it and will protect each other to keep from being exposed themselves. But we’ve gone way past that. No one with an ounce of political power worries about being exposed, because nothing happens. It just becomes a fact in their resume, like where they went to high school.

How do you get a Job in America 2.0? – “But-but “no one wants to work! We no longer have viable unions, which served for decades to keep salaries and benefits decent, even at nonunion workplaces. Big Labor used to be a powerful force in this country. Democrats competed to earn its support. When’s the last time you heard any Democrat talk about workers’ rights? About vanishing benefits? About ridiculously subpar wages? Republicans will talk about the subject. They think that the minimum wage should be abolished. Because they trust the corrupt marketplace, they laughably think that employers will pay a fair wage, if only the government wouldn’t force them to. I’ve heard from young men who swallowed the advertising about becoming interns and learning to be a plumber, an electrician, air conditioning worker, etc. This is another piece of advice we get from the Right- learn a trade!

We’re All Gazans Now – “In case you hadn’t noticed, Israeli methods have become American practices. Both originate from the same source and for the same purpose, which is to utterly control and in so doing, demoralize, the subject population. Americans used to be free to travel, like the people who live in what was once Palestine that’s now the ghetto called Gaza, where the subject population is not free to do anything and is constantly demoralized by the self-chosen people who believe – with fanaticism – that they are exactly that and who mean it. American Gazans are told they must have what is styled a REAL ID – implying the IDs they already have are somehow not real. The language serves to delegitimize the IDs we have so as to wheedle and push us to get the “real” ones. And push is exactly the right word. The push comes in the form of what will happen to you if you do not get a REAL ID. You will initially not be allowed to travel freely, by air” – Eric Peters

This includes criticisms of them and their holdings, the economic system we live under, and the actions of the United States and Israeli governments.

This insidious conspiracy is part of a carefully calibrated plot to silence all dissent and is being carried out using the same justifications used during the so-called “War on Terror.”” – Robert Inlakesh

Obama’s PowerPoint Death Parade Led to Trump’s Venezuelan Killings – “President Trump and Hegseth are cashing a blank check for carnage that was written years earlier by President Barack Obama. In his 2017 farewell address, Obama boasted, “We have taken out tens of thousands of terrorists.” Drone strikes increased tenfold under Obama, helping fuel anti–U.S. backlashes in several nations. As he campaigned for the presidency in 2007, Sen. Barack Obama declared, “We will again set an example for the world that the law is not subject to the whims of stubborn rulers.” Many Americans who voted for Obama in 2008 expected a seachange in Washington. However, from his first weeks in office, Obama authorized widespread secret attacks against foreign suspects, some of which spurred headlines when drones slaughtered wedding parties or other innocents.” – James Bovard

Venezuela War Being Spiked by Rubio at Israel’s Behest – “In addition, there is the tiny detail that Venezuela does not manufacture and sell fentanyl – they deal in cocaine. Like Colombia. The fentanyl manufacturer of the world is TEVA Pharma. But they are immune given they are Israeli. Drugs are not weapons. They can ultimately kill people who misuse them, but they are not a ‘weapon’ by any definition. Fentanyl is specifically noted as the drug causing the opioid crisis in the US. And fentanyl is made by TEVA in the US. Not cocaine. ” – Helena Glass – GOOD READ FROM HELENA IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT’S REALLY GO ON IN VENEZUELA!!!

Stop the Drive to War with Venezuela – “It’s a given that the rule of law will be ignored in this conflict, just as it has been ignored for many decades. But an important political question is this: does the Venezuelan regime pose any threat to actual Americans? With questions like these, the burden of proof is always on those who want a new war and are demanding tax dollars to do it. So where is the evidence of a Venezuelan threat? ” – Ryan McMaken

There Is No ‘Axis of Authoritarianism’ – “The “allies” are on the sidelines because they were never allies. No other governments are coming to aid Venezuela because the “axis of authoritarianism” is nonsense promoted by lazy Western analysts: Russia, China, Cuba, Iran and other anti-American powers are offering little more than words of support for Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro as he faces a U.S. military buildup that President Trump has said is aimed at forcing his ouster.” – Daniel Larison .

Damage Control: Major Blows to EU as von der Leyen’s Rotten Regime Teeters – “The EU cabal is experiencing some serious setbacks, not to mention blows to the tattered drapes of its credibility. First there was the fact that Belgium has officially rejected its piracy plans of stealing Russian assets, which came as a major slap in the face of EU apparatchiks.” – Simplicius

ECONOMIC NEWS

Economic Decline Continues Relentlessly – “The economy has, according to ISM (the Institute for Supply Management), been contracting ever since Trump took office. Manufacturing has shrunk for nine months in a row, and while production saw a tiny bump in October, new orders have gone down for all of the last three months, so that took production back down to a lower point. (No sense producing more, if people are not buying). Chaos comes with a cost. As tariffs have flashed on and off and higher and lower, businesses have been saying constantly that this is creating uncertainty that makes intelligent planning next to impossible. ” – David Haggith

In the above context, it’s VERY difficult to be bearish risk assets. Doing so means you are effectively betting against the Fed AND the White House.

How To Make Frontier Beer At Home (The Way Pioneers Did Without Electricity) – “Long before beer became something you cracked open after a long week, it was a survival tool as essential as a good rifle or a cast-iron pot. Out on the fringes of early America, water could kill you faster than a cold snap, and pioneers knew it. Wells went foul, streams carried every sickness you can name, and dysentery was waiting around every bend. So, families brewed what they called Frontier Beer, a simple, fast, low-alcohol drink that kept people hydrated, fed, and alive.” – Bob Rodgers – WHEN THINGS GO TO HELL, IT MIGHT BE NICE TO STILL BE ABLE TO HAVE A BEER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE BIG PICTURE

We don’t need a revolution to break the system — just about 3-4% of mortgages – “A thought experiment on power, leverage, and why we aren’t as helpless as we think. In a recent interview with Hrvoje Morić on Geopolitics & Empire, Substacker Michael Ginsburg made a blunt point: you can’t fight the system using its own tools. If something were to effectively shift the balance, it would have to come from another direction entirely. If a large enough group of people stopped paying their mortgages, he noted, the banking system would snap. (And yes, we know the banking system is going to snap in order to usher in the Great Taking, but note that it’s on their timeline not ours. When you break down the numbers, it becomes clear he has a point. A very good point.” – Collapse Life

The Long Defeat – “The West Lost This Era’s Eighty Years War, Now the Sack The truth is that the peace of 1945 was not an end, but a transformation. It marked the beginning of a modern Eighty Years’ War, a protracted global conflict fought not just economically and ideologically, but with real bullets, coups, and endless proxy battles. For eight decades, the world has been a battlefield for Western hegemony, a period of non-stop wars, orchestrated conflicts, targeted assassinations, and sponsored violence spanning every continent. In its decadent final state, reminiscent of the late Roman Empire, the West’s ruling class has chosen a final, desperate strategy: the replacement of its own exhausted native populations.” – E.M.

When will NATO apologize and take responsibility for more than a million murders of young Ukrainians, and the dismemberment of that nation?

Reality Doesn’t Matter. Just Enjoy the Poppies – “Tariffs aren’t hurting anyone, but businesses are folding, people are getting laid off in large numbers now; and, while the government deficit is growing faster than ever, tariffs will pay it all off. President Trump said he anticipates the US will soon be able to end income tax altogether because of all the revenue that is streaming in from the Trump Tariffs. In fact, there will soon be so much revenue that he will be able to send free gifts as dividends from that revenue to tax payers! So, with all the tariff revenue that is now screaming in, we still currently ran about a $250-billion deficit just for the recent month of October. Yet, somehow taking in a total of barely over $250-billion in the whole of next year is going to eliminate all the deficits in all the months of that year, even though this October’s tariffs only whittled down the deficit by half.” – David Haggith  – YEP JUST ROLLING IN THE MONEY.

Do You Agree That It Takes A Minimum Of $136,500 A Year For A Family Of Four To Afford The Basics In America Today? – Michael Snyder

America’s Feast-or-Famine Reality… When $100,000 Feels Like Poverty – “Two years ago, while in the US, I thought, “how are people earning less than $100,000 a year making ends meet.” A hundred grand is, or at least was, a lot of money. You were in a privileged status to have that kind of earnings power. And yet today, you can earn a hundred grand and be on the cusp of legitimate poverty. According to Uncle Sam, if you’re a family of four earning $30,000 a year, you are living below the poverty line. If you’re above that line, theoretically, you’re doing okay. Not great, but you can survive…. that simply is not true. In fact, it takes a lot more income to stay out of poverty in America today.” – Matt Smith

Model Collapse: The Entire Bubble Economy Is a Hallucination – “The conclusion that soaring asset prices mean the economy is strong is a hallucination that goes unrecognized because the entire financial system is hallucinating. Consider the data that the financial sector bases conclusions / decisions on in a Bubble Economy like the present. The Bubble Economy’s core goal is to inflate the valuation of assets not by increasing utility-value or productivity but by artificially expanding credit and leverage. This benefits those who already own assets, as their collateral (i.e. “wealth”) expands without any effort, and this swelling collateral enables them to borrow money to buy more assets.” – Charles Hugh Smith

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

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.

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

THE BIG PICTURE

The Complete Fraud of the Fake War on Drugs: A Criminal Exercise for Money, Power, and Control – “There cannot be a war on drugs, a war on terrorism, a war on crime, a war on poverty, a war on racism, a war on guns, a war on obesity, border wars, and on and on. It seems everything in this country is based on the term war, which means that everything is based on force, and in the end, all war is actually violence against people here and everywhere else. This constant psychological propaganda is meant to frame everything as a ‘war’ in order to market the false need of a government solution.” – Gary D. Barnett

The Carney Nexus: How Alberta Became Ground Zero for a Global Control Grid – “Carbon Capture. Water Seizure. First Nations Land. Data Centres. Digital ID. The global blueprint is here, and Alberta is the test site.” – Connie Shields

Files expose Britain’s secret D-Notice censorship regime – “A new trove of documents obtained by The Grayzone through freedom of information (FOI) requests provide unprecedented insight into Britain’s little-known military and intelligence censorship board. The contents lay bare how the secretive Defence and Security Media Advisory (DSMA) Committee censors the output of British journalists, while categorizing independent media as “extremist” for publishing “embarrassing” stories. The body imposes what are known as D-Notices, gag-orders systematically suppressing information available to the public.” – Kit Klarenberg and William Evans

Hey Pfizer, Why Did You HIDE the mRNA Influenza Vaccine Results for Over-65s? – “Is it because you couldn’t “adjust” the data enough to make your garbage drug look even remotely safe and effective?” – Anthony Colpo

Way Too Many Men Are Beasts – “And it is not just Muslim men who are beasts, and believe it or not, there are even women who are beasts, though I hate saying that. The true meaning of bestiality is when a person rapes or traffics children as sex slaves. However, in truth, even mild abuse qualifies if one measures the suffering that comes after every event of abuse. From the top to the bottom of humanity, we find beasts, so there will be nothing enjoyable in this story of human horror.” – Dr. Sircus

Elon Musk Says ‘Work Will Be Optional, Money Will Stop Being Relevant’ In The Next 10-20 Years Because Of AI, Promotes Universal Basic Income As A Solution – “Assuming there’s a continued improvement in AI and robotics, which seems likely, the money will stop being relevant at some point in the future” – The WinePress

Whistleblowers Expose Cover-Up of Organ Harvesting from Live Patients – “A New Jersey organ harvesting organization is under intensifying scrutiny after nearly a dozen whistleblowers accused the group of alarming misconduct. The organization, New Jersey Sharing Network, is accused of harvesting organs from patients who showed signs of life and then covering it up.” – Frank Bergman

A Modest Proposal – “You must wonder: what exactly has CIA Director John Ratcliffe been doing over in Langley, VA, lo these many months since things changed bigly in Swamptopia? Does he wander the hallways of that giant black box howling ineffectually. . . sit barricaded in his office playing sudoku. . . or is he doing what needs to be done: methodically uncovering and disassembling the diabolical racketeering operation that the agency has become? One thing for sure: you have heard next to squat coming out of his mouth all year. Mr. Ratcliffe is playing a close hand in a dangerous game and I tend to think that he is for-real. The CIA, you understand, is the beating heart of the Deep State (a.k.a. the blob). The Democratic Party and the Never-Trump RINOs are its errand boys. And that is why a ten-year-long coup has been running to smash Trump and Trumpism. “Joe Biden” was a piece of furniture thrown out of the truck that the CIA was driving to escape the scene of the crime. “Joe Biden” was under threat of blackmail the whole four years he haunted the Oval Office, having run his own petty racketeering operation to keep his miserable, extended, sick family in beach houses.” – James Howard Kunstler

America’s Poison Melting Pot And The Luxury Of Tolerance – “Modern western culture is an absolute anomaly in the history of human civilization. If one studies the principles and doctrines of nearly every other society and empire around the world, you will not find one that allows mass immigration of foreigners with contrary ideologies. You will not find one that allows foreigners to migrate without strict assimilation and loyalty. From the Arab states, to China, South Korea, and Japan (until recently), to India and beyond, every culture maintains a strict sense of supremacy. There is an absolute expectation that newcomers will adapt to political policies, belief systems, social norms, etc. ” – Brandon Smith

The Zio-Boomer and the Death of Empire – “Judeo-America is facing a date with demographic destiny, not only as its White population is reduced to minority status, but as the last true believers in Project America go gentle into that good night. The Boomers — the last custodians of the post-war American liberal faith — are being replaced by new generations of militant atheists. Americans are called to follow in the footsteps of the founding fathers and enact God’s will on earth. In a majority Protestant nation where one’s relationship to God is a private affair, the American deity stands superordinate to Christianity — one God to rule them all, the God of Judeo-American liberalism. Every single American president — from Washington to Obama — has made reference to God but never to Christ. The God of Judeo-America is interventionist, concerned with guiding the empire to victory over evil in the name of good. His active concern with the fate of his people is grounded in the equivalence of America with Israel: “American Israel”” – James Eden

Portland drops ‘Christmas’ — it’s just The Tree – “’Tis the season to be jolly. What season, though, is hard to say if you’re in Portland, Oregon, where the official “tree” lighting ceremony meticulously avoids the word “Christmas.” The liberal-run city “sparked outrage” online, the New York Post reported, when the name of the actual holiday was avoided by all speakers and by advertising for the 41st annual event.” – Greg Richter  – CHRIST, WHO?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JFK: 62 Years and They’re Still Lying – “The mother of all conspiracies. In 1963, there were only three television networks. On November 22, CBS, NBC, and ABC launched unprecedented coverage of President Kennedy being shot while riding in a motorcade in Dallas, Texas. Not the actual shooting, of course. That was never shown. They set the template for all television news to come. They simply passed on official pronouncements from local law enforcement, the FBI, and the White House, which were consistently inconsistent and defied all common sense. ” – Donald Jeffries

In pardon of narco trafficker, Trump destroys his own case for war – “It appears more important to the White House that the party of convicted Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández wins Sunday’s volatile election.” – Kelley Beaucar Vlahos

Trump Is the Destroyer of Peace – “Initiating a war is a despicable thing to do regardless of the pretext.” – Daniel Larison

President Trump Has Not Forgotten The Autopen. You Shouldn’t Either – “More Than Just “Conspiracy Theory” If a President “signs” a document via an autopen, but did not explicitly authorize that document be signed by autopen, is that signature valid? At present, we do not know the answer. No Presidential signature has ever been challenged for its validity—until now.. – Peter Nayland Kust

This Is Why Russia And China Are Going To Be Extremely Upset When The U.S. Begins A Regime Change War In Venezuela – “This isn’t going to end well. History has shown that most regime change wars have unintended consequences. But we never seem to learn.” – Michael Snyder

Gun Rights Groups Condemn Trump DOJ for Defending National Firearms Act – “Gun rights groups have labeled legal arguments advanced by the Trump administration in an ongoing lawsuit as the “most anti-Second Amendment” ever filed by a Republican administration.” – Derrick Broze

Britain Is Lost – “No nation has fallen quicker or more completely than Britain into the totalitarian mindset. My question, however, is what damage does continued alliances with nations who punish their people for what they have said, posted or broadcast do to international perception? Are we not tarnished by their brush? Yes. It also signals that the United States is not determined to uphold the right to free speech. That in order to maintain these alliances will betray their own people.” – T.L. Davis

Biden’s Zero Unit Mistake: When Afghan Death Squads Came to America – “The video of the ambush is brief and sickening. Two young National Guard soldiers, barely into adulthood, walk their post near the White House. An Islamic terrorist rounds the corner, raises a revolver, and opens fire. He is a former member of the CIA’s elite Afghan “Zero Units,” a paramilitary strike force trained for kill capture missions in the Taliban heartland. He came here through President Biden’s Operation Allies Welcome program and was later granted asylum. The war in Afghanistan did not stay over there. We flew a piece of it into our own neighborhoods.” – Amuse on X

The EU’s top diplomat casually rewrites WWII history on her way to WWIII – “Kaja Kallas’ striking ignorance – or willful revisionism – is precisely why no one is taking the bloc seriously anymore” – Tarik Cyril Amar

The US’ Own Policies, Not Russian Propaganda, Are Why It’s Losing Support In Mexico – “It appears that Mexican society is bifurcating into diehard pro- and anti-US camps, the essence of which isn’t anything new in principle but is now importantly taking place in the new context of the global systemic transition to multipolarity, which raises the risk of radicalism on both sides.” – Andrew Korybko

ECONOMIC NEWS

What’s the Hidden Cost of Home Ownership, Ignored by the BLS? – “A Bankrate study shows owning a home costs over $21,000 a year in hidden expenses. It all begins with the cost of acquiring a place. As of April 2025, the median home price stood at a near-record $437,942, according to real estate platform Redfin, up 44 percent from 2020. Unfortunately, American incomes aren’t keeping pace with residential real estate costs.” – Mish

The Best Silver Video I’ve Ever Seen – “These days, it’s hard to know whether a given video is genuine or AI-created. So I can’t speak for the veracity of this one. But whatever its source, this is the best and most comprehensive presentation on silver I’ve ever seen. Listen to the whole thing, and you’ll understand this bull market — and why it’s just beginning — better than 99% of financial professionals:” – John Rubino

Investor Alert: 2026 Will Be the Year of Hard Assets – “The financial system is currently undergoing a tectonic shift from paper assets to hard assets. And this has the potential to create life-changing profits for those who invest accordingly. We’re talking about hundreds of billions if not TRILLIONS of dollars in capital moving out of paper assets and into hard assets like gold as the $USD drops like a brick.” – Graham Summers, MBA

Deutsche Bank Joins Other Mainstream Banks Raising Gold Price Forecast – “With gold trading solidly over $4,000 per ounce, mainstream banks have been scrambling to raise their 2026 price projections. Last week, Deutsche Bank joined the scramble, upping its average price forecast by 11 percent. Deutsche Bank analysts had been calling for a $4,000 average gold price in 2026. They now peg their forecast at a $4,450 average with a trading range between $3,950 and $4,950. The top end of that range would represent a 14 percent increase above the current December futures price.” – Mike Maharrey

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Dealing With Heavy Snowfalls When the Grid Is Down – “When a heavy snowfall hits during a grid-down event, the danger goes far beyond blocked driveways and long shovelling sessions. Without power, heat, or communications, deep snow quickly becomes a threat to mobility, safety, and even long-term survival—especially for off-grid properties and rural homesteads. Preppers know that winter isn’t just inconvenient; it’s a stress test for your entire preparedness system. Even if you’re hunkered down, you must maintain access to essential areas:” – denob

Shooting 101: Avoid Legal Pitfalls with Less-Lethal Options – “For many new and even seasoned gun owners, the thought of using their firearm to protect themselves is scary. Some are reluctant to hurt or kill another human being. Not to mention, the legal pitfalls of using a firearm for self-defense are extensive in some jurisdictions. There’s also the possibility of a costly civil suit, even if you aren’t charged. So, it’s easy to see that you don’t want to shoot an attacker unless you absolutely must, to protect yourself or your family. This is why many consider less-lethal options before resorting to firearms.” – Mark Chesnut

LOOK UP! No… Seriously…. They’re Fighting A War In The Sky While You’re Checking Your Phone! – “All around the globe, weather now feels… scripted. One day you’re baking under record heat. The next, an “Arctic blast” drops hail the size of softballs and leaves your homestead looking like January in Minnesota—even if you live far from snow country. The news will confidently chalk it up to a “quirky stratospheric warming event” or a playful La Niña–meets–polar vortex tango. Cute explanation. Convenient timing. But behind the curtain? Weather systems are being nudged, steered, and sculpted using ionospheric heaters, aerosol layers, and chemical ice nucleation technologies. So what does all this mean for the off-grid community? For the growers, the homesteaders, the rainwater collectors, the people trying to build something sane? First, it means this: going off-grid isn’t just about putting up panels and planting raised beds. It’s about awareness. It’s about recognizing that the sky itself is contested space. It’s about understanding that your homestead is a micro-fortress of resilience in a destabilized world. Practically, that means guarding your water like gold—filtering, distilling, testing, and never assuming that what falls from the clouds is clean.” – Bill Heid

Build a DIY Outdoor Stove – “If I told you I could build an outdoor stove/fireplace in less than 20 minutes, you probably wouldn’t believe me. It sounds like a complicated project, but it really isn’t. In fact, you can build one without using any concrete, mortar, or tools. All you need are some cinder blocks, cap blocks, and a couple of oven grates.” – Alan Urban  – SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE!!!
