THE BIG PICTURE

Big Surprise: Legal Story Changes as Maduro Brought to Court – “What do you know? Today in court the Justice Department officially dropped the fake claim that Maduro was ringleader of the fictitious ‘Cartel of the Suns’, which never existed. The theater is not required anymore, you see, now that he’s captured! Convenient how that works, no?” – Simplicius

What Happened to the ¡Fentanyl! Hysteria? The Casus Belli Bait-and-Switch – “DOJ boss Pam Bondi has publicly released the 25-page indictment for the notorious ¡narcoterrorist! Nicolas Maduro, Butcher of Caracas. (She can’t for the life of her seem to find those Epstein files she had “on her desk” almost a year ago, even though she’s now required by law to release them in full, but she can sure get the Maduro grand jury indictment unsealed in a hurry. Weird how government suddenly develops the capacity to move with ruthless efficiency when it wants something done.) The grand jury indictment, after analyzing it, is found to contain no fewer than 67 references to “cocaine” in the context of Maduro’s trafficking operation — but zero references to “fentanyl.” Which might strike some as curious, given that the nonstop line coming out of the Venezuelan regime change proponents for months has been “¡Maduro the narcoterrorist is poisoning the youth of America with fentanyl!” Of course, the reality is, and has always been, that Venezuela has literally nothing, or almost literally nothing, to do with the illicit fentanyl trade — that’s all China, India, and Mexico.” -Ben Bartee

Under Trump’s Madness, Insanity Has Consumed This Country – “This pre-planned coup was never once about drugs, (that is just a cover for ignorant American nationalists) for if stopping the flow of drugs and cartels was the objective, all Trump would have to do is shut down the CIA, as it is the biggest drug runner and drug dealer in the world, and controls and funds drug cartels in several countries. To stop drugs from coming into this country, one would only have to eliminate the CIA, legalize all drugs, and shut down the criminal DEA. No, this was never about drugs, and oil was never the main focus, although it is of great importance to the ruling scum, due to the risk to the worthless fiat petro-dollar and its constant debasement due the massive debt run up by this government and Federal Reserve.” – Gary D. Barnett

The Peace President Lays out his Many Goals for American Conquest – “Venezuela is only the centerpiece of a much bigger scheme. The Peace President acted this weekend like he was so angry over being spurned for the Nobel Peace Prize that he’s determined to show those dirty Norwegian rats that he doesn’t need it or want it. He’ll settle for imperial greatness, instead.” – David Haggith

Barbaria strikes again – “The Raging Twenties started with a murder: Gen. Soleimani, Baghdad, January 3, 2020. Ordered by Trump 1.0. The second part of the Raging Twenties starts with a bombing/kidnapping. Mini-Shock’n Awe on Caracas, Delta Force raid. January 3, 2026. Ordered by Trump 2.0. Raging Donald Trump said he will run Venezuela. This trashy neo-Caligula, self-proclaimed Emperor of Barbaria, in the end may not run anything, starting with his own motormouth.” – Pepe Escobar

Why Putin and Xi want Maduro dead – “Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela’s dictator, never finished high school. But don’t confuse the lack of formal education with stupidity. It is, after all, his charisma, stature (6’3” among men who stand 5’9”), and intelligence that allowed him to claim the throne of the oil-rich country. But that which led to his success — his advanced mental capacity — could cost him his life. Why? Maduro’s brain is a treasure trove of data — vital information — that his allies want to remain hidden and dead men tell no tales.” – Kenn Gividen

How To Assimilate into America – “Profiling the 3 types of assimilation: traditional, woke, and non-assimilation. Comrades: Assimilation is the vital ingredient of successful immigration. America is a country, not an economic zone. Unity is our strength, not diversity. As our nation turns 250, assimilation is the most important issue. We must define what an American is now in order to prosper for another 250 years. America has always embraced immigrants who embrace America.” – Yuri Bezmenov

The Most Generous Goodbye in Presidential History – “Joe Biden will be living large for the rest of his life—and you’re paying for it. After more than half a century in public office, Biden is poised to collect roughly $417,000 a year in taxpayer-funded pensions—a sum that exceeds the salary of the presidency itself. (I’d gladly pay more for him to not be president than to be president, but still.) Not through a single benefit, but by stacking multiple government retirement systems into one very comfortable payout. It’s legal. It’s contractual. It’s the priciest participation trophy known to man. And it’s being paid for, of course, by you. And guess what? Your generosity doesn’t stop there. The General Services Administration has budgeted another (more than) $1.5 million a year for Biden’s post-presidency support. ” – Jenna McCarthy

Perhaps We Should Actually Be Focusing On Fixing America – “Even though we have literally stolen trillions upon trillions of dollars from future generations, our major cities are rapidly decaying, our infrastructure is crumbling, corruption is rampant, the middle class is shrinking, most of the population is struggling to even afford the basics each month, mass layoffs are happening all over the nation, our streets are teeming with hordes of drug addicts and homeless people, large numbers of Americans are selling images of themselves online just to make ends meet, and millions of others are living in their vehicles. So why don’t we use what limited resources we have to fix our own problems?” – Michael Snyder

London’s Silver Lie Detonates: How a $90 Shanghai Cat Clawed Its Way Out of a $78 Paper Sack. – “And this silver cat is never going back in the paper bag—Western price fixers can cry all they want. COMEX and LBMA are now reduced to a fiction layered over a market they no longer control, fronting a “global” silver price that China just walked away from in broad daylight. Washington’s protectionist turn under Trump, sold as a way to “win” economic wars, has instead accelerated the collapse of Western paper pricing power and handed real price discovery to Shanghai.​ Two prices, one metal COMEX Feb ’26 silver sits around $78– $79 dollars an ounce, still marketed as the world’s benchmark price.​ So please, I beg of you, don’t sell to any bullion dealers because dealers will use this phony price (and weaker hands often think they are timing a top when this silver bull market is just beginning) Stay tough and recall the current price of silver is now $90” – The Silver Academy

Fortunately, there’s a simple way to make a whole lot of vinegar for very little money, using something you normally throw away: apple peels and cores. This method turns fruit scraps into a fermented vinegar in two stages, and it’s exactly what this video teaches.” – Heidi Hawthorn
