THE BIG PICTURE
God’s Greatest Challenge: Love One Another – “Yet Jesus does not merely teach us that we must love God with every part of our being. He adds another commandment that is like it, co-equal in importance: we must love our neighbors as we love ourselves. I have commented before that we cannot love each other or ourselves unless we first love God. We cannot build each other up, encourage each other, guide each other, unless we are committed to that which is right.” – Peter Nayland Kust
Silence On Sin: How Satan Has Entered the Church – “Most people don’t think about the subject of Satanism unless there is a grisly murder and satanic symbols are found at the crime scene. Many who believe in the devil usually think of him as being the darkest of figures. What they don’t realize is that the Bible tells us that he can also manifest himself as an “angel of light.” Satan is incredibly subtle. We are warned that he uses professing men of God (ministers of righteousness) to deceive the Church. The Bible calls him “the god of this world” and says that he blinds the minds of unbelievers. Jesus called him “the prince of this world” and “the father of lies.”” – Ray Comfort
The Nausea of Tribalism – “What do I mean with ‘tribal nausea’? America, once the bastion for open debate, has morphed into a home for tribal nausea where citizens cleave onto unexplored assumptions in support of unquestioned authority. For a questioner, this is a maddening turn of events. My last article where I took Trump to task as a madman, is a case in point. Good ol boys don’t see Trump, nor the political landscape he brings as being worthy of their disdain. Just below conviviality, they are on-board with American exceptionalism—sustaining a rather narrow range of focus that precludes getting at actual factual reality.” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com
Are we just letting this happen again? – “Fascism’s point of no return. How do ordinary people rationalize the unthinkable? As authoritarianism knocks on the door of American democracy, the history of the Third Reich offers a haunting reflection not of monsters, but of ourselves.” – Sarah Connor – GOOD INSIGHTS FROM SARAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EU Commissar: Free Speech Is a Virus, Censorship the Vaccine – “Ursula von der Leyen, non-popularly-elected president of the European Commission* and ultra-girlboss extraordinaire, recently came out swinging against free speech in a white-knuckle speech in which she likened “malign information” to a “virus” that society must be inoculated against (by the state, obviously) via the “vaccine” of “prebunking,” a euphemism for censorship.” – Ben Bartee
JFK SAID NO ONE SHOULD BE RICH ENOUGH TO BUY THE GOVERNMENT AND THEN HIS HEAD EXPLODED – “The Maximum Wage Proposal That Would Have Saved America From The Billionaire Class. John F. Kennedy understood something about money and power that most Americans have never been taught and will never learn from the billionaire-owned media that controls what you see and hear. He understood that once a man accumulates enough wealth, he stops being a citizen and starts becoming a threat to the republic itself. A man with a hundred million dollars can live like a king. A man with a billion dollars can buy kings. A man with a hundred billion dollars can become one, and there is nothing in our current system to stop him.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

FAKE AND GAY: How Pedophiles Infiltrated Government – a scandalous true story [Part 1] – “Let me tell you a story. Back in the early 1900s, there was this guy named René Guyon. René was a lawyer in France who moved to Siam. . Yes, the guy advising the judicial system of Thailand and even writing legal codes was super into children. In fact, he coined a phrase, “Sex by age eight, or else it’s too late.” Whether Rockefeller got his hands on Rene’s books or not is unknown, but in 1942, in America, Alfred Kinsey was receiving funds from the Rockefeller Foundation. If you don’t recall, Kinsey was a sexual deviant and, to put it frankly, a horrible person. He oversaw a “project” which involved molesting children as young as infants.” – Agent131711 – AGENT131711 LATEST DEEP DIVE INTO PEDOPHILIA!!!

Let’s talk about Renee Good – The facts and the foundations. I’ve been waiting to wade into this one in hopes that some sense would prevail to let the facts finish emerging such that it seemed like one could reach a reasonable conclusion as to what happened and why, well, At least we mostly got number two. Alas, with regard to number one, it seems that a fair bit of sense has left the building. There’s been a lot of incendiary rhetoric and mis and malinformation running around on this, fake videos, fake stories, and wild vitriol. In such situations, I like to try to boil things down to “What facts can we trust?” and work from there.” – El Gato Malo – GOOD ANALYSIS FROM EL GATO!!!!!!
The Machinery of Terror The Trump administration is consolidating the familiar machinery of terror of all authoritarian states. We must resist now. If we wait, it will be too late. I have seen the masked goons who terrorize our streets before. I know these goons. I have been a prisoner in their jails and spent hours in their interrogation rooms. I have been beaten by them. I have been deported, and in several cases banned, from their countries. I know what is coming.” – Chris Hedges
Impaired Situational Awareness – “Thoughts on What Happened in Minneapolis” – Bill Astore
What both sides get wrong about the Minneapolis ICE shooting – “This tragic incident has exposed the inhumanity of America’s culture warriors” – Luke Gittos.
In The Soup – The fracture lines have been exposed both internally and externally. Internally, there is the struggle between federal agents and numerous American states, including California, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, etc. Except, that it is not the will of the people to go into conflict with federal agents; it’s the will of the corrupt leaders, many elected through fraud, to go into conflict with federal agents. The truth is a lot of the protesters and agitators are paid by big NGOs and woke billionaires” – T.L. Davis
Mexico, Next? – “Once a Neocon gets rolling, it is hard to stop the rolling. The mission is never accomplished. First Iraq. Then Afghanistan. That latter one took about 20 years – of Americans’ treasure and blood, not counting the cost to the Afghanis. Well, here we again. Again. Trump announced last night that Mexico is next. “We are gonna start now hitting land,” Tiberius Orangicus Maximus told Sean Hannity. “The cartels are running Mexico. It’s very, very sad to watch and see what’s happened to that country, but the cartels are running and they’re killing 300,000 people in our country every single year.” So many fascinating aspects to this. Trump’s claim that 300,000 people are killed by the “cartels” being perhaps the most fascinating given the body count that can be credited to the cartels that operate not just legally but with Trump’s back-slapping approval in this country. How many Americans have been killed – or had their health ruined – by the drugs pushed by Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson?” – Eric Peters
The US Empire is Going SUPERNOVA – “President Trump has set off a truly extraordinary string of global-order-destabilizing campaigns that have left the world reeling. From his attacks on Venezuela and promises of “action” against Mexico, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Iran, to his threats against allies in “securing” Greenland, it feels like one of those weeks Lenin had promised long ago: There are decades where nothing happens, and weeks when decades happen.” – Simplicius
Donald Trump ‘orders army chiefs to draw up plan to invade Greenland’: US President emboldened by success of Maduro capture operation – Glen Owen and Dan Hodges
Trump Speaks Out: Could Cuba Be Next to Fall? – “Communist Cuba has, however, for some time depended on Venezuela for energy and currency; the now-jailed, former tinpot dictator Nicolás Maduro’s security detail was mostly Cuban, for all the good that did him. But the times, they are a-changing, and not in Cuba’s favor. On Sunday, President Trump fired one of his characteristic broadsides at Cuba.” – Ward Clark
Trump is weighing options against Iran: Reports – “President Donald Trump is reportedly weighing options for intervention in Iran, according to Sunday reports. The president has been shown potential plans, ranging from possible military strikes to action that doesn’t include the military, according to reports. Tehran threatened on Sunday to retaliate against Israel and U.S. military bases in the event of U.S. strikes on Iran.” – Jennifer Elias
White House Amplifies Shocking Claims Of US Super Soldiers Deployed In Maduro Raid – “This account from a Venezuelan security guard loyal to Nicolás Maduro is absolutely chilling—and it explains a lot about why the tone across Latin America suddenly changed. Security Guard: On the day of the operation, we didn’t hear anything coming. We were on guard, but suddenly all our radar systems shut down without any explanation. The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones, flying over our positions. We didn’t know how to react. After those drones appeared, some helicopters arrived, but there were very few. I think barely eight helicopters. From those helicopters, soldiers came down, but a very small number. Maybe twenty men. But those men were technologically very advanced. They didn’t look like anything we’ve fought against before. We were hundreds, but we had no chance. They were shooting with such precision and speed… it seemed like each soldier was firing 300 rounds per minute. We couldn’t do anything.” – Tyler Durden – IF THIS IS HOW IT HAPPENED, THEN OUR MILITARY HAS WEAPONS AND CAPABILITIES THAT WE DON’T EVEN KNOW ABOUT!!!
The Gathering Storm: Snatch-and-Grab Regime Change is the New New Normal – “So, what the hell does all this really mean? Good question. Let’s answer it, shall we? The raid on Maduro, like the raid on “Osama,” is awash in mystery and dripping with unanswered questions. Of course, this being 2026, the usual fog of war surrounding an event like this is even foggier because of the ever-looming question of AI-enabled deepfakery. Not even those venerable fact checkers at Snopes can say whether or not those weird, janky photographs of Maduro smiling and posing and thumbs-upping with his abductors are real or not.” – James Corbett
How Maduro, Cuba and their allies stole Venezuela’s oil wealth. – “The economic and political debate often ignores that the Maduro dictatorship weaponised the national oil company to use it as a cash machine to enrich the leaders of the socialist regime and finance the demolition of democratic institutions all over Latin America, creating an international group of allies with the main objective of demolishing US, European, and Latin American democracies from the inside. Some commentators remove from the economic debate the deliberate collapse of PDVSA, Venezuela’s institutional destruction, and the use of oil as an international political weapon as well as a tool for the personal enrichment of Maduro and his allies. Maduro’s personal wealth is estimated at $3.8 billion. $700 million in assets has already been seized.” – Daniel Lacalle – SO NOW WE STEAL IT, WILL IT GO BACK TO THE PEOPLE. DOUBTFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Venezuela Technocracy Connection – “The US bombing of Venezuela and capture of Nicolás Maduro cannot be rationally explained as a drug enforcement operation, or even solely about recovering oil. The bigger picture is Technocracy.” – Derrick Broze
Cea Weaver vs. The Entire Field Of Economics – “Printing money is the solution? Why didn’t we think of that? In 2021, Cea Weaver, now the woman chosen by Zohran Mamdani to run New York City’s Office to Protect Tenants, unveiled a housing policy vision so detached from economic reality that the only academic seminar it could have emerged from would have been a slurry rant by a drunk at a bar at Newark International Airport at 3AM.” – Quoth the Raven
Amazon Is Ditching The United States Postal Service – “After nearly three decades of working together, Amazon is ending its delivery relationship with the United States Postal Service, a move that significantly alters how packages are moved across the country, according to MSN. The partnership once played a major role in Amazon’s rapid expansion while generating billions in yearly revenue for USPS. The decision comes as the Postal Service continues to struggle financially, including a reported $9.5 billion loss in its most recent fiscal year.” – Tyler Durden
Somaliland: Longtime Zionist Colonisation Target – ” Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar visited Hargeisa on January 6th, signing a memorandum of understanding on cooperation in multiple areas, including ‘defence’. President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi hailed the visit as a “historic milestone” in Somaliland’s quest for international legitimacy. These developments are of significant concern to Somaliland’s neighbours throughout the Horn of Africa, with which the statelet has extremely strained relations, that have boiled over into all-out conflict on numerous occasions over decades. Fears are understandably widespread an Israeli – if not accompanying US – military presence locally will embolden breakaway authorities to intensify their belligerence, and seize contested territory claimed by both Hargeisa and Somalia. But grave anxieties are also felt throughout West Asia.” – Kit Klarenberg
Eastern Mediterranean Geopolitics Are Becoming More Complex – “Tensions are growing between Turkiye-Pakistan and Israel-Cyprus-Greece. Stability in the Eastern Mediterranean can no longer be taken for granted as a result of three recent developments: 1) the growing Turkish-Israeli rivalry in post-Assad Syria; 2) Israel’s reported plans to establish a rapid response force with Cyprus and Greece; and 3) Turkish ally Pakistan’s new military ties with Eastern Libya’s General Khalifa Haftar. The aforesaid are unfolding amidst Israel’s plans for an underwater EastMed gas pipeline to Greece and Turkiye’s maritime claims that cut right across its route.” – Andrew Korybko

I KNOW I SAY THAT A LOT, BUT IT DEFINITELY IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Silver Stackers Aim to ‘Screw the Bankers’ – “This narrative that banks are manipulating silver markets to depress the price is a powerful one. One popular version of the theory says that big banks are working with governments to keep a lid on silver prices. The motive is there. Governments have a real incentive to keep precious metals prices low. When gold and silver are flying higher, it makes fiat currencies look bad. And manipulating futures markets, at key moments, could definitely drive down prices (until a short squeeze happens).”- Adam Sharp

How to Prepare for Disaster on a Budget – “I try to consider being prepared as a mindset and part of living a simpler way of life.” – Amanda Whittington
30 Bug-In Mistakes to Never, Ever Make – “In much of the prepping world, bugging out in response to a crisis is given a disproportionate amount of time and effort. In reality, bugging in, or staying put at home or another secure location, is a better bet 90% of the time. Aside from having a home-field advantage and, hopefully, a closet or storeroom stocked full of supplies and gear, bugging in can eliminate tons of variables from your survival calculus. It’s also a heck of a lot easier than bugging out most of the time. All in all, it’s a good plan, but it’s still possible to screw up.” – By Tom Marlowe

Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth

In a soldier’s stance, I aimed my hand
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
