THE BIG PICTURE

Reclaiming Freedom – “Restoring Civilization As Master, Economics as Servant. True liberation requires a fundamental reorganization of society around our civilization, restoring economics to its proper, subordinate role. This entails a great dual project: a reduction of the state to its just bounds, and a restoration of civic duty to its vital place.” – E.M. Burlingame

Where Are the Tiny Cars? – “A couple months ago, we were informed that Trump had decided to “approve” the building (manufacturing) of so-called “tiny cars” – which are actually non-compliant cars – in the United States. Trump said such vehicles can be built in America now, because he said so. So far, none are available – and not one major car company has said they plan to offer them for sale in America anytime soon. Or ever. This is probably on account of the fact that while they can be built here (there was never any law forbidding that) they cannot be legally sold here, because they are non-compliant – and Trump has not (with a wage of his magic executive order wand) disappeared the regulations that have to be complied with before any new vehicle may legally be sold in the United States. Trump is a willful ignoramus when it comes to details. He seems to think he can breezily say – make it so, like Captain Picard from Star Trek – and it will be so. But it ain’t so. Maybe he just hopes we’ll forget all about it. Like the Epstein stuff. Like those $5,000 rebate checks Americans were supposed to be getting courtesy of Elon Musk and DOGE. Whatever happened to DOGE?” – Eric Peters

WATCH: This Is Just Absolutely INSANE – “How is this even real? In an incredible Senate hearing meant to address the dangers of abortion pills sold online without proper oversight, a Democratic witness turned the spotlight on herself by refusing to acknowledge that only women can get pregnant. Dr. Nisha Verma, an OB-GYN tapped by Democrats, evaded direct questions from Republicans, prioritizing “identities” over scientific fact.” – Steve Watson – IF YOU JUST WANT TO WATCH THE VIDEO OR USE THE LINK IT’S BELOW. A MUST WATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fear, Loathing & Bias How ancient and essential survival mechanisms can distort our perceptions of reality. – “None of Renee Nicole Good’s behavior was justifiable, and she should have been arrested later for reckless endangerment of a federal law officer (federal statute 18 U.S.C. § 111, with prison time of up to 20 years or more). However, as reckless as she was, the punishment for reckless endangerment is not the death penalty. Given that she was trying to drive away, it is hard to understand why the ICE agents didn’t immediately move clear of the car. Regarding the officer who fired the shot: in the time it took for him to draw, aim, and fire, he could have jumped completely clear. The ICE agents involved in this incident may be well-trained and prepared for the tough and demanding business of detaining illegal immigrants. However, their actions in handling a hysterical woman suggest they were not properly trained for dealing with protestors.” – John Leake

Binary Thinking and its Blind Spots (VIDEO) – “System 1 handles the decision processing with its automatic emotional response, and it never gets any further analysis. System 1 goes back to our most basic survival instincts, and it is good for processing binary choices such as fight/flight, edible/toxic, alive/dead, but it is not suitable for processing complex issues. This is what System 2 is for. And it is well known in today’s study of psychology that when the human mind is presented with only two options, the work automatically goes to System 1, and critical thinking is avoided. The purpose for having these two cognitive systems, is efficiency. ” – Greg Reese  – ANOTHER INTERESTING VIDEO FROM GREG!!!

Former United Nations Employee Warns of the Dangers of the UN Digital ID Program – “Ray says the way the UN is handling its rollout of digital IDs for employees is an indication of how the organization is approaching digital ID projects around the world. “The UN’s approach to their internal staff digital ID reflects the same attitudes seen in national-level digital ID roll-outs—inadequate concern for legal liability, disregard for individual informed consent, and overconfidence in the strength of the technology’s privacy and security implications,” Ray told The Last American Vagabond ” – Derrick Broze

Study Finds Coffee May “Cancel Out” the Mortality Risks of Sitting for Long Hours Each Day – “Among adults sitting more than 6 hours a day, coffee drinkers had ~23% lower all-cause death risk than non-coffee drinkers.” – Nicolas Hulscher, MPH

New Study Verifies How Cholesterol Lowering Statin Drugs Injure Muscles – A Drug 40 Million Americans Take – Ana Maria Mihalcea, MD, PhD

Tenpenny Throwback Thursday – “Pfizer probably made your cheese. Did you know that? many countries have banned FPC because they consider it to be a genetically modified organism (GMO) which it indeed is. Long ago, the FDA approved the GMO rennet as Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS), a regulatory designation that allows substances to enter the food supply without full pre-market approval. By the way, the FDA made their decision based on a 90-day study of rats eating the FPC. Wonderful. The bottom line is that real cheese is about as natural as it can get: milk, salt, enzymes, and calf rennet. It would be good to keep it that way. Look at your labels, and if possible buy from a local farmer.” – Dr. Sherri Tenpenny

GOP Is Repeating 2022 Democrat Playbook – “For two years, the Democrat Party obfuscated and lied to the American people about the demented mental state of President Joe Biden. After Biden’s mental incapacitation could no longer be concealed by his debate performance with Donald Trump, it was too late. The Donkeys were left with a pathetically inferior candidate (Kamala Harris) and no time to construct a credible campaign. Had Democrats been honest with themselves and the American people and removed Biden from office in 2022, the elections in 2024 might have had a very different outcome. In 2026, Republicans are facing a parallel situation. President Donald Trump, dubbed neo-Caligula by many podcasters, is crashing and burning any hope of a GOP victory this November. For that matter, his helter-skelter political/military compass points to a crash landing for the entire United States—perhaps the entire world. Every day that Trump remains in the Oval Office is a day closer to nuclear Armageddon. The man is certifiably insane. And everyone around Trump knows it. But as with the Democrats in 2022, no one is willing to admit it, much less do anything about it.” – Chuck Baldwin

Making Armageddon Great Again – “A Mushroom Cloud, A Smoking Gun” – Bill Astore

Trump Won’t Be Solely Responsible – “He might not be responsible in the least, but most people are already convinced he’s deeply involved. They view him as a mere puppet of the agenda—and even if that’s true, and the agenda wins its war against humanity, it won’t be his doing alone. Yet the masses will almost certainly hold him fully accountable.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

We’re Always Told That Everyone In The Empire-Targeted Nation Hates Their Government – “The regime change supporter’s favorite trick is to pretend the people in the targeted country are an ideological monolith. All Iranians hate their government, all Venezuelans wanted freedom from Maduro, etc. They do this constantly. Thing is, it requires them to dehumanize the very population they’re claiming to care about. ” – Caitlin Johnstone

War fever is building for another Middle East regime-change operation but what are the potential outcomes for Iran, the region and the world? – “Trump says ‘help is on the way’ but will he go in with boots on the ground, or try to accomplish the mission strictly with bombing raids? Either option is fraught with risks for America and Israel.” – Leo Hohmann

ICE IS DEPORTING PURPLE HEART VETERANS AND KRISTI NOEM LIED ABOUT IT UNDER OATH – “You do not accidentally fail to notice that the guy you are putting on a plane fought in Iraq or Afghanistan or Panama or Korea. The military keeps records. Dog tags have service numbers. These men have DD-214s. Someone looked at that paperwork and decided to deport them anyway. Someone made a choice. And when Kristi Noem sat in front of Congress and said with a straight face that she had not deported a single veteran, she was not confused. She was protecting a deliberate policy.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

From the Fog of Imminent War to the Fog of AI Fake News – “It’s getting really hard to tell the fake from the real, and two major AI founders say 2026 is the year AI goes full rogue.” – David Haggith

“What Will They Do?! Nuke the US?”: Russia Mocks Emasculated Europe As Trump Eyes Greenland – “The Gallic cock has crowed that, if the sovereignty of Denmark is affected, the consequences would be unprecedented. Ooh, what they will do?! Kidnap POTUS? Nuke the US? Course not. They’ll just shit their pants and give up Greenland. And that’d would be a great European precedent. – Dmitry Medvedev” – Tyler Durden

The Flotillas to Gaza Are the World’s Conscience – Chris Hedges

Fantasy “Loan” for Ukraine Gets Adjusted Again as EU Faces Priorities Reality Check – “The latest information suggests that the much-vaunted €90B “loan” that was the highlight and ‘triumph’ of von der Leyen’s rotten caucus last month—and which itself was actually a miserable downgrade from the now-memory-holed far-larger requested amount—has become another abject lesson in theatrical deception. Major outlets now report that the so called “loan” will only provide Ukraine ~€30B, while the remaining €60B goes directly to European “arms manufacturers”.” – Simplicius

The real price of the Venezuela coup: Iran’s regional support against Israel/U.S. – “Does Trump have the slightest idea of what a war with Iran actually means in practical terms? Does he understand that removing Maduro has galvanised support for Iran when that war starts? With the huge movement of US military aircraft first arriving in US bases in the UK before moving onto the Middle East, the rioting in Iran and Trump’s euphoria over Venezuela, it would be a fair assumption to make that the US, along with Israel, is planning an Iranian attack aimed at toppling the regime.” – Martin Jay

Iran – Trump Chickened Out – “Yesterday U.S. President Donald Trump was ready and willing to bomb Iran. The most important target would have been the Supreme Leader, Ajatollah Khamenei. But Iran was ready and Khamenei safe. The U.S. military, in contrast, was not ready to defend against the inevitable retaliation that would have come out of Iran. There are only three destroyers with air-defenses in the area that could offer protection against a ballistic missile onslaught. A few minutes after the first strikes their arsenals would have been empty.” – Moon of Alabama

Senate Passes Bill Allowing Victims To Sue Over Deepfake Porn Videos – “The Senate unanimously passed a bill on Jan. 13 allowing victims to sue producers and distributors of deepfake porn videos. The Disrupt Explicit Forged Images and Non-Consensual Edits Act, or DEFIANCE Act, now goes to the House, where its fate is uncertain. It was introduced by Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and was in response to X allowing nonconsensual illicit deepfakes.” – Jackson Richman

 

 

 

ECONOMIC NEWS

Winter Is Still Coming – “Winter Is Simply Taking Longer To Arrive. How much did consumer price inflation change in the December Consumer Price Index Summary from our favorite data provider, the Bureau of Labor Statistics? In broad strokes, not much. Year on year inflation barely changed in December. Month on month was not so wonderful, as the inflation rate did move up at both the headline and core levels, but even that was far from the highest monthly inflation rate in 2025.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Bad-Joke Housing CPIs, Absurd Health Insurance CPI Still Marr Today’s CPI Report, Repress Year-over-Year CPI Inflation – “My frustration is boiling over. This is very serious. A lot depends on halfway accurate CPI inflation readings.” – Wolf Richter

The Latest Psyop With Trump Attacking Jerome Powell Is Causing Many Americans To Defend The Federal Reserve And Cheer For Their Own Enslavement – “Trump in 2011: “The Fed’s reckless policies of low interest and flooding the market with dollars needs to be stopped or we will face record inflation.” My how have times changed! Yet, how ironic that in his first administration and now again in 2025 and 2026 all we hear from him about is how booming the stock market is as a measure of strength for the economy, which he tees off on the golf course! When it’s up, it’s because of him; when it does badly, it’s someone else’s fault:” – The WinePress

The End Of The Age Of American Capital? – “Markets are deluged in noise as the President remakes the world. We’re learning to roll with it – but the trick will be to spot the opportunities and gaps that will open. President Trump’s recent demands that US banks and lenders follow his orders is one such opportunity – and may crash a critical component of the US economy’s success.” – Bill Blain

Impact of New Chinese Silver Export Regulations Overstated – ” When Chinese officials rolled out the rules, which went into effect Jan. 1, many analysts said it would lock hundreds of small and mid-sized exporters out of the system. However, these analysts failed to realize that the Chinese government was already regulating and licensing silver exports. These small and mid-sized exporters were already locked out of the system. The new rules were essentially tweaks in an existing framework.” – Mike Maharrey

How Currency Stress Is Pushing Gold, Silver to New Highs – “Gold’s move toward $4,600 isn’t about jobs data or geopolitics – it’s about currency stress. Silver’s tightening supply tells the same story, while Venezuela’s gold dispute shows why central banks demand physical metal stored close to home…” – By Peter Reagan

Buy Gold, Dump Treasuries – “On Monday’s episode of the Peter Schiff Show, Peter reacts to a dramatic day in the markets where gold and especially silver steal the headlines, then connects those moves to political and monetary developments that he says make the dollar vulnerable. He ties a sudden surge in precious metals to a new scandal around Fed Chair Jerome Powell, the Fed’s warped spending incentives, and a troubling political proposal to cap credit-card interest. He opens with the market action, where silver is the clear standout today: He’s surprised the mainstream financial media treats that as a footnote rather than the news of the day:” – Peter Schiff

Peter Schiff is Right. Buying Silver Miners now is like Taking Candy from a Baby – “Silver and gold just hit record highs while quality miners sold off, handing investors a rare chance to grab explosive cash‑flow leverage to a structural silver and monetary reset.” – The Silver Academy

What Silver Is Quietly Telling Anyone Who’s Paying Attention – “Most people think markets speak in headlines and charts. They don’t. They speak in marketplace behavior. And right now, silver isn’t acting like a sleepy industrial metal or a forgotten hedge—it’s acting like something is wrong underneath the floorboards. When an asset that’s spent decades being ignored suddenly starts behaving like a fire alarm, it’s not trying to make you rich. It’s trying to tell you something. Out on the land, capital doesn’t look like a brokerage account. It looks like a well that still pumps. A solar array that hums when the lines go dark. A pantry you can’t eat through in a month. And yes—a few heavy bars tucked away where only you know. As silver triples off old levels and premiums creep higher, the message is familiar to anyone who lived through feed, fertilizer, or diesel shortages: the window is closing. Off-grid investors think in layers.” – Bill Heid
