THE BIG PICTURE

Trying to replace the American dream – In moderation, tolerance is a virtue but in excess it becomes the direst of vices. Zohran’s inuagural speech was quite the revelation.” – El Gato Malo

Remigration NOW. A Cat 5 Hurricane Builds Across the West. – “If someone gave a certain order – there’s a few influential people at ground level – if we gave a certain order, all hell would erupt in the U.K. The troops are aligned, the armies are behind certain people, if certain people said, “enough’s enough”, and they pressed a certain button, you’d have an army of millions who would wipe this place out. “What would cause that button to be pressed?” “Any more children being murdered.” – Elizabeth Nickson

For Whom Is It Humane? – “Government is a criminal enterprise. All of it. “We passed a law” is no defense. The problem with Western civilization is that this idea that the government passing a law is an excuse to violate human rights has existed for far too long. This is the struggle the founders had, how to terminate that thought process. The concept of a republic operating with the will of the people lasted about as long as it took for the ink to dry. Washington himself violated that concept during the Whiskey Rebellion.” – T.L. Davis

Nobel Prize Winner Warns: AI IS COMING FOR YOUR JOB AND CONGRESS IS DOING NOTHING! – “It’s time to wake up America. Artificial Intelligence and Robots are FAR more dangerous than Nuclear Weapons.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

The SYMBOLISM Is Everywhere!! (VIDEO) – “The secret societies and systems that rule our world are nothing new. They’ve been here since the beginning of time. But thankfully people are waking up,” – Armor Of Truth Ministry  – SHORT VIDEO ON THE NUMBER 33 AND MORE!!!!!

Cloudseeding Above Northern Indiana Skies Are Getting Out Of Control, Nonstop Near Daily Spraying With Impunity – “How much do you want to bet self-assembling nanotech is being deployed with this chemical brew? Yet nobody notices, nobody cares.” – The WinePress

Indoctrination brought to you by Big Sports – “If 100 million people care about sports, the psy-op exerts are going to go where the people are.” – Bill Rice Jr.

Study Finds Bovine Colostrum 3× More Effective Than Flu Vaccination in Preventing Flu Illness – “Participants experienced ~60% fewer illness days and ~75% fewer flu-like episodes with bovine colostrum compared to flu vaccination.” – Nicolas Hulscher, MPH

NEWS

Maduro “Effed Around & Found Out”; Trump Says ‘We Will Run Venezuela’ Until Safe Transition After Operation ‘Absolute Resolve’ – “Additionally, President Trump said Saturday he would allow American oil companies to head into Venezuela to tap its massive crude reserves:” – Tyler Durden

Russia condemns US ‘aggression’ against Venezuela – “The US president has claimed that Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro has been captured and flown out of the country” – RT

China Slams US ‘Hegemonic Acts’ After Strikes on Venezuela – “a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said in a statement late Saturday. “Such hegemonic acts of the US seriously violate international law and Venezuela’s sovereignty, and threaten peace and security in Latin America and the Caribbean region. China firmly opposes it.”” – Bloomberg News

America is a Gangster State – “The kidnapping of Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro and his wife solidifies America’s role as a gangster state. Violence does no generate peace. It generates violence. The immolation of international and humanitarian law, as the U.S. and Israel have done in Gaza, and as took place in Caracas, generates a world without laws, a world of failed states, warlords, rouge imperial powers and perpetual violence and chaos. If there is one lesson we should have learned in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Libya it is that regime change spawns Frankensteinian monsters of our own creation.” – Chris Hedges

Venezuela Attacks U.S. – “President Trump and First Lady Captured; Will Face Trial and Justice in Venezuela. Sometimes, imagining an opposite scenario can bring folly and illegality into relief. Imagine if Venezuela attacked the U.S. Imagine if President Trump and Melania Trump were seized, and that the Venezuelan attorney general said they would face justice in Venezuela. I’d imagine that nearly all Americans would see this as an act of war, a gross violation of national sovereignty. American vengeance would be swift. Of course, this is not Opposite Day. It’s the U.S. that has attacked Venezuela, seizing Maduro and his wife, with U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi vowing “They will soon face the full wrath of American justice on American soil in American courts.”” – Bill Astore

Trump Wakes the Hydra and Seals His Doom His new Venezuela War can only backfire on the Empire. Once again, the Empire has cut off the head of the snake, and will soon discover, once again, that it has only succeeded in waking the hydra. I am not sure what Marco Rubio and Donald Trump think is going to happen; I guess they think all they have to do is wait and the Venezuelan people will “spontaneously” rise up at CIA prodding and install their nice, pliable dictator who will gladly let the US steal Venezuelan oil and enrich Exxon at her own people’s expense because freedom.” – Ohio Barbarian

Yoink! Got Your Dictator! – “Maduro’s on a boat to New York. Trump will take Venezuela’s oil. Nice doing business with you. Let’s not sugarcoat it: this is a notable escalation in U.S. foreign policy and arguably the most direct military intervention in Latin America since Panama in 1989. The fact that President Trump authorized this without a clear public mandate and framed it as part of a broader campaign against cartels and corruption, ensures that debate will rage for weeks. Whether one views the move as bold leadership to remove an ally of China and Russia, or reckless overreach, largely depends on political worldview, but markets do not trade on ideology. One of the most immediate pressure points to watch here is energy. No doubt someone from OPEC getting into his $500,000 Bentley overnight felt a great disturbance in the force. There’s no doubt in my mind that Trump is going to now try and “keep the oil” from Venezuela in one form or another.” – Quoth the Raven  – THEY FRAME IT AS NARCO-TERRORISM SO THAT WE CAN CONDUCT THE OIL-TERRORISM!!!!

What Is Worse Than Donald Trump? – “More Donald Trump. Even when you begin to think that it can’t get any worse with Donald J. Trump as President of the United States the Orangeman does something that is so stupid and so reflective of a man who thinks only about himself that it makes one’s shudder in disbelief.” – Philip Giraldi

Jack Smith’s Tyrannical Arrogance – “Smith believes the government can prosecute any of us for rejecting official ‘truths.’” – J.B. Shurk

Israel Launches Its Latest “Iranian Revolution” As Trump Threatens War – “Israel is currently spearheading an online disinformation campaign against Iran with the intent of creating civil unrest. Agent provocateurs on the ground have weaponized peaceful protests to turn the situation violent. Across social media, AI-generated images and dated riot footage are being used to claim that a revolution has begun, as US President Donald Trump threatens military intervention.” – Robert Inlakesh

How’d Saudi Arabia End Up On The Same Side As The Muslim Brotherhood In Yemen? – “The Saudis’ growing ties with Muslim Brotherhood-aligned Turkiye, Qatar, and Iran; the Gaza War that broke out after October 7th; and the Ummah’s widespread support for Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestinian branch, contributed to the Kingdom coming to see the group in a new light.” – Andrew Korybko

SITREP 1/2/26: Odessa Pressure Peaks, as Zelensky Announces Major Senior Staff Reshuffle – “MSM rags are beginning to cover the ‘urgent’ situation surrounding Ukraine’s Odessa,” – Simplicius

ECONOMIC NEWS

Varoufakis warns of dollar crisis… – “Yanis Varoufakis is well known in European circles as an economist. He claims to have attended a meeting at the BIS where central bankers discussed economic meltdown. this video does appear genuine and the content makes sense, rather than culled by an AI engine. The reason for reposting it is that if it is genuine and not AI-generated, central bank officials share the concerns which we have been writing stridently about particularly in recent months. And like us and Varoufakis, they are aware that there is little they can actually do to prevent a G7 financial collapse, centred on the US dollar. Their machinations will probably lead to capital controls and market closures without notice….” – Alasdair Macleod  – LINKED ABOUT THIS ON THURSDAY AS WELL IN AN ARTICLE BY ANTHONY JAMES HALL. APPEARS TO BE THE REAL DEAL!!!!

Ditching the Dollar Is the New Popular Trump Trade – “Out with the old, in with the new. Trade in your old bucks right on cue. One of the important stories that has been slowly emerging this year is the demise of the dollar. That is worth noting because for more than a decade, I resisted going with the dollar-collapse narrative that is popular in the economic-collapse sphere where I write, and that always proved to be the right position. However, at the start of the year, I switched and finally began predicting the dollar’s collapse was now likely to arrive quickly—” – David Haggith

America’s New “Value Menu” Economy Should Worry You – “The hottest restaurant items of 2025 aren’t gourmet burgers – they’re value meals. When eating out turns into a budgeting exercise, it reveals something deeper about inflation, the rising cost of living and the quiet erosion of our quality of life…” – Peter Reagan

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

The New Year’s Resolution That Makes You “Ready For Anything” – “Every January, off-grid folks make the same quiet promises to themselves. This is the year I finish it. The fence. The pantry. The power backup. The bag by the door. And then life crowds in, the calendar flips, and by fall, most of those promises are still sitting right where they were—about half done. This isn’t about guilt or motivation. It’s about whether the things you’ve been “meaning to get to” would actually work if you needed them tonight. That’s what this piece is about—and why it matters more than any new gear you could buy this year.” – Bill Heid

Copper Cookware Pan – Pros, Cons, and Choosing the Right One – “Copper cookware has a long, respected history in traditional kitchens. Its beauty is obvious, but its real value lies in how intuitively it cooks. Copper responds instantly to heat changes, distributes warmth evenly across the surface, and gives you control that few other materials can match. ” – Self-Sufficient Projects Staff

0 Ingenious Ways to Freeze-Dry Your Food at Home for 10+ Years Shelf Life – “Most people think a deep freezer is the key to long-term food storage, but what happens when the power goes out? There’s a reason pioneers and survivalists alike have turned to freeze-drying.” – Ask a Prepper

Winter Security Reset: A Practical Check-Up for Canadian Homes During Outages and Deep Cold – “Winter security isn’t about being dramatic. It’s about not being caught off guard when the conditions that break systems—freezing rain, high winds, heavy snow, long nights—also increase the chances of opportunistic theft and delayed response times. In Canada, January is the month where many households discover their “security plan” was actually just a Wi-Fi camera and a porch light.” – denob

THE BIG PICTURE

2026: Avoiding the All-Seeing Evil Eye and Protecting Your Privacy Will be Increasingly More Difficult – “The REAL danger with Big Tech heading into 2026, is their ever expanding efforts to track every single human being on the planet, and fulfilling the goal of the Freemasons to use the technology as the “all-seeing eye”. This concept of the “all-seeing eye” is actually part of the history of the U.S., and one of the main purposes behind the founding of the U.S. Republic in 1776. The Freemasons from England who founded this nation embedded their Freemasonry symbols into every part of American culture, including our national “seal” which is also printed onto our paper currency. One of the Latin phrases at the bottom of that seal is “Novus ordo seclorum,” which means “A New Order of the Ages.” The Latin phrase at the top of that symbol is “Annuit cœptis,” which means “He/She favors our undertakings.” The common interpretation of that phrase has been that “God” is the one who is referenced here, by the eye inside the triangle. However, the all-seeing eye is historically used as a symbol referring to Satan, or evil, and not to God, the Creator of Heaven and Earth.” – Brian Shilhavy  – EVER WONDER WHY THERE IS OR WAS A MASONIC LODGE IN JUST ABOUT EVERY TOWN IN THE U.S., BIG OR SMALL. THAT’S WHAT GOT ME LOOKING AT THINGS OVER 25 YEARS AGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Rise of the State and the Fall of Natural Law – “December 2025 marks the centennial of Pope Pius XI’s 1925 encyclical Quas Primas, which established the feast of Christ the King. In the encyclical, Pius emphasizes that ideal government is something entirely separate from the temporary, provisional, and corrupted civil governments that rule over the earth for the time being. At the core of this is the fact that, in the realm of civil government, divine rule and human rule do not intersect. In this view, God’s power is exercised not in direct political power, but through “social kingship” which governs the central institutions of civil society, especially the family. In this view, legitimate and just political power can only be rightly exercised when those in positions of leadership in civil society live and govern in accordance with natural and divine law. ” – Ryan McMaken

Stranger Things Than Bardot – ‘Don’t Forget That You Are Going To Die. Humans are a peculiar species. Nothing in our world can pass without narrative framing and attachment to help make sense of events that transpire by ascribing causation or finding correlations. Though we are highly selective creatures, because we often ascribe causes and correlations where none exist, or ignore them all when there are mountains of both.” – The Good Citizen  – LONG AND INTERESTING READ AS USUAL FROM THE GOOD CITIZEN!!!

Bioterror Roundup: ‘Vax Pac’ – “Bernie Sanders, pharma tool, attacks RFK Jr. These people purport to not understand how government works. The president gets elected, the only nationally elected leader. He appoints whom he wants to run the executive branch, pending approval by Congress. After he is approved by Congress, that cabinet member is not required to resign just because random Congressmen raking in pharmaceutical cash demand that he does.” – Ben Bartee

The Hidden Dopamine Trap – “From Addictive Screens to Stolen Joy—and the Path to Feeling Truly Alive Again. Modern children’s content (especially fast-paced YouTube shows like CoComelon) is engineered to maximize watch time through rapid cuts and constant dopamine triggers, creating addictive patterns in toddlers that lead to overstimulation, irritability, and severe tantrums, and when screens are removed. These same dopamine-hijacking tactics have permeated broader society, from addictive processed foods to social media and pornography, shifting us from sustained serotonin-based happiness and presence to fleeting, hollow spikes that leave people feeling disconnected, depleted, and perpetually unsatisfied.” – A Midwestern Doctor

Why Everything Is Built Like Crap Now (And What That Says About Us) – “It seems like more and more people today just don’t care about the quality of what they do. If it works, it works. If it passes inspection, great. If nobody complains, even better. Straight lines, clean joints, attention to detail — those things feel optional now. And I don’t mean pride in a boastful way. I’m not talking about ego. I’m talking about personal standards. The quiet satisfaction of knowing you did something right — not because someone was watching, but because you were.” – M.D. Creekmore

NEWS

Forecast 2026: In the Vortex of the Whirl – “2026 is the 250th anniversary of our country’s conception. A few years later when the Constitution was ratified, we became a republic — “if you can keep it,” Ben Franklin cracked to anxious citizens waiting outside the great hall in Philadelphia. Our country was predicated on the resolve of virtuous men operating under the rule of law. We are lately under an astounding siege of villains without principle seeking to wreck the republic. The big question facing the USA is whether our political life can become even more deranged than it has been in the past ten years, or can we possibly sober up. The Woke-Jacobin war against our country continues, led by a Democratic Party made even more vicious, depraved, and insane by the 2024 election victory of Mr. Trump,” – James Howard Kunstler  – THE DEMOCRATS ARE INSANE, TRUMP IS INSANE. I REALLY DON’T THINK THERE IS MUCH HOPE FOR THIS COUNTRY AND I THINK THAT HAS BEEN THE PLAN ALL ALONG NO MATTER WHO SUPPOSEDLY REPRESENTS US. WHICH NONE OF THEM DO, ACTUALLY!!!!!

Who Is Helping Low IQ Migrants Defraud American Taxpayers? – “I’ve been writing about the inherent fraud behind third-world immigration for many years now, including the rarely addressed issue of remittances flowing from migrants in the US back to their countries of origin. Third worlders tend to act like a nest of vampires, bleeding the US and giving indirect sustenance to their failing home economies. This process is heavily enabled by foreign governments that rely on this river of dollars to stay afloat. This is why political leaders in countries like Mexico and India lobby so hard to keep US borders open. They need that cash. One problem I have consistently seen with mainstream coverage of this issue is that it often overlooks the fact that migrants who steal from American taxpayers almost always have help from people within our government.” – Brandon Smith

$1.5 Trillion in Government Fraud – “Somali daycare powerhouse Quality Learing Center has closed. If you need to lear your kids you will need a new Somali daycare. Happily, you’ve got thousands of empty ones to choose from. What’s been found so far focuses on the Somali community, where despite nearly 90% of these model immigrants being on welfare they’ve managed to set up tens of thousands of apparently fraudulent daycares, autism therapy centers, food for kids programs, and home health companies.” – Peter St Onge

The Revolutionary Energy of Burkina Faso A couple of optimistic and inspiring videos to start the year – “I thought I’d start the new year off on a positive and optimistic note, but in order to do that I would be hard-pressed to find anything in my own country. Fortunately, there’s this young man in Africa named Ibrahim Traore, whom I have had my eye upon for a few years.” – Ohio Barbarian  – TRAORE IS ALREADY STEPPING ON THE WRONG TOES AND LIKE GADDAFI BEFORE HIM, THEY WILL PROBABLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!

Trump’s Threat to ‘Rescue’ Iranian Protesters Is Reckless – “The last thing that protesters in Iran need are threats of intervention from the U.S. government.” – Daniel Larison

A Fool’s Kingdom: Trump Says Construction Of ‘Triumphal Arch’ Will Begin In ‘Two Months,’ Says It Will Be Better Than The Arc De Triomphe – “It hasn’t started yet. It starts sometime in the next two months. It’ll be great. Everyone loves it. They love the ballroom too. But they love the Triumphal Arch.” – The WinePress

Who Was The Biggest Antisemite In 2025? – “The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and scores of other Israel-sponsored lobby organizations in the United States spend billions of dollars collectively accusing any and all American citizens of antisemitism who have the intellectual honesty and ethical conscience to criticize the war crimes, crimes against humanity, mass murders, forcible rapes, land thefts, ethnic cleansings and genocide committed by Benjamin Netanyahu and the Zionist State of Israel. Of course, these inflammatory and baseless accusations are regurgitated and repeated endlessly by the Zionist-owned mainstream media and Zionist-bribed politicians. To be sure, every U.S. president since Harry Truman (with the exception of John F. Kennedy, G.H.W. Bush and maybe Richard Nixon) has been unduly influenced by the government of Israel. But never in U.S. history has America had a president more beholden, more bought, more bribed and more bullied into submission than Donald J. Trump. Donald Trump is NOT the leader of MAGA (Make America Great Again); he is the leader of MIGA (Make Israel Great Again). And the only people who do not know that are the ones who do not WANT to know that.” – Chuck Baldwin

Israel Running The Greatest Show On Earth – America – “Tucker Carlson was berated by Trump and thus all his minions for claiming Israel is running The Greatest Show on Earth. Candace has been brutalized for searching and investigating the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Marjorie Taylor Greene was demeaned and shoved aside by Trump for demanding he adhere to his campaign promises. Musk was shunned and demonized by Trump for finding all the government fraud and graft. Massie is ridiculed daily on Truth Social for being a dumb no nothing because he wants Trump to uphold his campaign promises. Israel tells the media that Iran is in Venezuela therefore both Iran and Venezuela need to be eliminated post haste by – Trump. Trump continues to pardon elite banking fraudsters formally convicted for their crimes. Trump is scheduled as one of the main speakers at DAVOS World Economic Forum of globalists – again.

Social Security Will Be Insolvent in Six Years. What’s Congress Going to Do? – “Congress last made major Social Security changes 43 years ago.” – Mish

The Interventions Aren’t Working Any More – “Panic is beginning to show up in the financial system. As I noted earlier this week, rumors are swirling that a large, systemically important financial institution is being forced to liquidate its precious metal short positions. We get strong evidence of this from the CME Group which has suspiciously raised margins on precious metals futures trading for the SECOND time in one week (first on December 26 and again on December 31st). The CME raises margins in this fashion whenever it begins to lose control of the precious metals market and is desperate to “flush out” a lot of positions. The fact it has done this TWICE in the last week alone suggests us someone “big” is likely on the wrong side of the precious metals trade. The interventions aren’t working, either.” – Graham Summers, MBA

2025 – Silver sparkled and gold shined – “Precious metal bulls will feel vindicated, but the rise in prices indicates something darker: the dollar’s decline is accelerating, barrelling towards the end of the fiat currency era. In this our final market report for 2025, we look back on what has been driving gold and silver price in 2025, and their outlook in 2026. Our conclusionis that the dollar is dying and the fiat currency era is drawing to a close. This is the message from gold, silver, and indeed the wider commodity and raw materials world.” – Alasdair Macleod

Meanwhile, 44 U.S. states have partially or fully ended such taxes.” – Sound Money Defense League

Looters Hate These Homemade Deterrents – “During emergencies or civil unrest, intruders can become a real concern. Looting tends to focus on locations with useful or valuable supplies, and prepared households may draw attention when normal protections break down. That’s why awareness and planning matter. Placing deterrents, booby traps, or countermeasures may be illegal in your area, but when the government falls and the laws are no longer enforced, you can begin to deploy whatever deterrents you wish.” – Michael Major

Goats don’t need a lot of shelter in the winter, but a properly designed goat shelter, barn or house will keep your goats happy all winter long. ” – Deborah Niemann

THE BIG PICTURE

The Financial System Has Failed: Currency Debasement and Inflation Will Now Scream – “Well, it is a new year, and much more manipulation is happening in the paper silver contracts, as regulators under the idiotic banner of “market stability” have raised margin requirements and position limits twice in a few days. This is of course, all done to protect the institutional short sellers, mainly the banks, as they face great losses when silver or other commodities rise against their shorts. Also, this is a way to hold down the price of precious metals, especially silver, in order to cover up the inevitable collapse of the dollar. So what does all this mean? It means that the financial system is so fragile and bankrupt, that it is close to failure, and extreme measures are being taken by government and the Federal Reserve just to keep it afloat. This is certainly attempting to kick the can down the road a bit further, but the can itself is obviously coming apart. This is leverage upon leverage, vastly increasing debt, and who knows where all this is going and when? One thing is for sure; monetary debasement is greatly expanding, and massive price inflation will follow. The metals signal is crystal clear, as gold and silver are indicating that this debt-based financial system is ending.” – Gary D. Barnett  – FOR MORE ON THIS SEE THE ARTICLES IN THE ECONOMIC SECTION TODAY AND THE PAST FEW DAYS SINCE MONDAY. IT’S ECONOMIC NEWS BUT REALLY IT ALL TIES IN TO THE “BIG PICTURE”!!!!!!!!!!!

The Cycle of Freedom – “Periodically, I offer up a statement by Scottish Economist Alexander Tytler, “The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been about 200 years. These nations always progressed through this sequence: From Bondage to Moral Certitude; from Moral Certitude to Great Courage; from Great Courage to Liberty; from Liberty to Abundance; from Abundance to Selfishness; from Selfishness to Complacency; from Complacency to Apathy; from Apathy to Dependency; from Dependency to Bondage.” Tytler had it right. There is a Freedom Cycle. It’s not an accident. It’s based upon human nature, which is perennial.” – Jeff Thomas

A Shrewy New Year: Back to the Trenches – “As the twinkling lights of Christmas fade and the echoes of holiday cheer dissolve into the crisp air of January 2026, we shrews find ourselves at a familiar crossroads. The season brought a rare respite—a peaceful interlude where families gathered without the shadow of mandates looming quite so heavily, where conversations flowed freely, unmarred by the usual divides. But make no mistake: this tranquility is fleeting, a mere pause in the symphony of struggle. The world hasn’t healed; it’s merely caught its breath. Now, it’s time to sharpen our claws, dust off our vigilance, and plunge back into the trenches. There’s no room for relaxation in a world still shrouded in deception.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

NEWS

“Boots on the Ground” – “Hopefully, the scruffy little dictator of Ukraine is lying – or being misquoted. Nonetheless, it is alarming – if you’re among the sane – to read that, supposedly, “US BOOTS ON THE GROUND in Ukraine (is) being discussed.” The good news is “troop deployment is UP TO THE UNITED STATES.”  This being “good news” in the same way that being told you have cancer – but it hasn’t spread yet – is “good news.” If you voted for Trump, did you vote to send American troops to . . . Keeeeeeeeeeeeev? That would be bad enough, given that sending American troops (and American tax dollars) to these shithole countries where no American interest are involved – as opposed to the interests of the people who control the government that rules America – is always a bad idea for Americans, who get nothing in return except slain and crippled Americans and higher taxes as well as the well-earned contempt of the people who live in the countries curb-stomped by American troops.” – Eric Peters

US Bombed Seven Countries in 2025 as Trump Dramatically Expanded Airstrikes – ” Iran, Iraq, Nigeria, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela,Yemen” – Dave DeCamp

Only the Bad Man – “How many countries will America bomb in 2026? Is there anything more embarrassing or self-debasing than continuing to be a Trump supporter in 2026? It’s just degrading and cucky at this point. Trotting alongside Netanyahu and promising to help him bomb Iran while lying and claiming Israel has been “100 percent” abiding by the ceasefire in Gaza. Bombing Venezuela, Nigeria, Somalia, Yemen, Iraq, Iran, Syria, and all those boats off Latin America in a single year after campaigning as the “anti-war” candidate. ” – Bill Astore

A Low-Risk Strategic Win: Trump Should Recognize Somaliland – “There is an easy argument for recognizing Somaliland, and it is not the one that State Department lifers will offer you in a memo. The easy argument is that it would enrage Somalia-born Rep Ilhan Omar. That is not a reason by itself to reorder US foreign policy, but it is a useful diagnostic. When a policy move reliably provokes a loud, immediate denunciation from Omar, that usually means it cuts against a particular combination of interests, ideology, and constituency. Somaliland recognition does exactly that.” – Amuse on X

Pretense, Staging, Expediency: the “Solutions” That Implode the Whole Shebang – “2026 is the year when all the “solutions” of Pretense, Staging and Expediency implode on every level: household, enterprise, local, state and national, for Pretense, Staging and Expediency are scale-invariant “solutions”: cooking the books, staging and hiding debt works for the state and nation just as well as it does for the sole proprietor and bankrupt household.

Uruguay Latest Country Hoping to Ditch the Dollar – “Uruguay is the latest country hoping to ditch the U.S. dollar. That won’t be an easy task, given that Uruguay ranks as the most dollarized Latin American nation. However, the fact that the government is even trying to limit dollar dependence reflects a growing de-dollarization trend that threatens the primacy of the greenback. Uruguay Central Bank President Guillermo Tolosa recently announced policy changes designed to de-incentivize dollar use and boost the Uruguayan peso.” – Mike Maharrey

Perfect Storm for Debt, Economy, War, Gold & Silver (VIDEO) with Martin Armstrong – Greg Hunter

Silver’s 2026 Open: Irresistable Force Meets Immovable Object – “The paper metals markets have traditionally responded to spiking prices by raising margin requirements. Players who can’t come up with the extra money have to liquidate their positions, which causes prices to fall. That accounts for at least part of the brutal end to last year’s silver price action. The Comex exchange just raised margin requirements again. Does this mean silver will fall hard when trading opens later today? GoldSilver’s Mike Maloney says yes: It really doesn’t matter what silver does today. Its long-term story is that deficits produce shortages, which in turn produce higher prices, so we should be agnostic about any given day’s action.” (VIDEO) – John Rubino

In A Desperate Attempt To Stop The Bleeding, A Conspiracy To Force The Price Of Silver Down Is Unfolding Right In Front Of Our Eyes – “They aren’t even trying to pretend to hide what they are doing. Everyone knows that the meteoric rise in the price of silver in 2025 has put an immense amount of stress on certain financial institutions. Of course nobody is publicly confirming how much damage has been done, but it must be pretty severe if CME Group is taking such extreme measures to force the price of silver down. For the second time in less than a week, CME Group has abruptly raised margin requirements on precious metals futures…” – Michael Snyder
