THE BIG PICTURE

It’s Time To Accept That Civil War 2.0 Has Already Started – “Civil War 2.0 has, in fact, already kicked off in the form of a well funded far-left insurrection much like what happened in 1917 Russia. The lack of conservative organization in response has been less than impressive, and I’m here to give a warning: We are approaching the point of no return. Activists are funded by a massive shell game of NGOs hidden behind other NGOs. They are coordinated by hidden online discord servers. They receive their orders and share information in the field through encrypted Signal chats. They are trained in agitation and disruption by anonymous online meet-ups run by covert activist coordinators. They have engaged in violent attacks on ICE agents on hundreds if not thousands of occasions and few of them are ever prosecuted. This is not the behavior of a grassroots protest movement, this is the behavior of an army of covert operatives with special protections.” – Brandon Smith

Epstein files: here is what’s REALLY going on; this is a plan to PROTECT criminals – “I’m cutting through ALL the crap here. The release of the Epstein files is like ordering a prosecutor to release all the evidence he has against people he hasn’t charged yet. Go ahead, read that sentence again. It’s the heart and soul of what’s happening here. Every person seriously mentioned in these files gets a head start on lawyering up.” – Jon Rappoport 

New Epstein Dump Is a Doozie – “Who had “Bill Gates gets an STD” on their bingo card this week?” – Jenna McCarthy

Sarah Ferguson Joked About Daughter Eugenie’s ‘Shagging Weekend’ in Newly Surfaced Epstein Email – “In one March 2010 email reviewed by People, Epstein asked the former Duchess of York about potentially taking a trip to New York. Ferguson, now 66, replied with a crude comment about her youngest daughter, Princess Eugenie. “Not sure yet. Just waiting for Eugenie to come back from a shagging weekend!!” Ferguson wrote. The resurfaced correspondence also shed new light on Ferguson’s ongoing closeness to Epstein during that period. In another 2010 email, she reportedly told him to “just marry me.” “You are a legend. I really don’t have the words to describe, my love, gratitude for your generosity and kindness. Xx I am at your service. Just marry me,” Ferguson wrote in a January 2010 message, according to the Daily Mail.” – Olivia Salamone  – HMM, ANDREW AND FERGIE BOTH. WHO WASN’T BUDDY BUDDY WITH EPSTEIN!!!!

Six Years Ago Today, They Chose the Lie – “Six years ago today — on February 1, 2020 — a group of scientists got on a phone call that would alter the trajectory of human history. Not because they discovered something. Because they decided to hide something. Bryce Nickels named them: Fauci. Collins. Farrar. Holmes. Andersen. Garry. Rambaut. Fouchier. Koopmans. Drosten. Read those names again. These weren’t fringe players. These were the people our governments, our media, and our institutions told us to trust. These were The Science™. And on that call, they made a choice. Not a scientific choice — a political one.” – Justin Hart

Awards Season – “The political grandstanding started way back in 1973 when the irascible Marlon Brando stayed home from the Academy Awards but sent an Apache princess, one Sacheen Littlefeather, to the podium to decline his award…After that, political “statements” at awards ceremonies of all kinds became modish, then obligatory, and now in the age of Lefty-left Woke Jacobin activism, all you get is one denunciation after another of the monster who lives in their heads: ChrumpChrumpChrump. Cue the audience of fellow “stars” for the also obligatory standing-O, which is really a test to see if any among them dare not join in the hosannahs — so they can be anathemized. You are seeing sheer ritual performance by performers, the highest perq of stardom being the approbation of their peers, fellow performers — nevermind the lowly gorks out in Flyover Land who “consume” the products of pop culture.”‘ – James Howard Kunstler

Hollywood Celebrities Are Losing Their Minds And Calling For “Revolution” – Tyler Durden

Bill Maher Torches Virtue-Signaling Lefty Celebs For Ditching Causes Once They’re Not The ‘Current Thing – “After another awards show shitshow of anti-Trump-ism at The Grammy’s, Bill Maher has had it with Hollywood’s relentless virtue signaling, and during his latest monologue on his HBO show Real Time with Bill Maher. And he really let the glitterati have it. “You fucking posers. Three years ago, everybody was all into Ukrainian flags. What happened to that? Another cause tossed into the junk drawer with yesterday’s choke collar?” He called virtue signaling “body ornaments” and delivered one of his trademark zingers: “They’re just crucifixes for liberals. Because every time I see one, I think, ‘Jesus Christ.’”” – Tyler Durden

Trump, New Chief of OPEC – “Oil price has been thought to correlate with US aggression abroad; expensive energy impacts the US negatively, and cheaper, more plentiful oil is a positive. It has been why we fought. This was the foundation of the Carter Doctrine, The cartel no longer OPEC, it is us. Trump also claims he effectively “owns” Canada. Our Saudi Arabian and UAE clients appear solidly dependent on Washington, and since 2003, Iraqi oil has been profiteered by the US, much as is envisioned for both Venezuela and the seducible sovereign movement in Alberta. Of the 2026 top six crude exporters, it’s the Team USA versus Russia and China.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

Affordability fact check: Trump can’t hide from higher prices – ““Just after one year of President Trump, our economy is booming. Incomes are rising. Investment is soaring. Inflation has been defeated.” That verdict was proclaimed by the highest authority in the land — President Trump himself, notifying an Iowa audience Tuesday about the transcendent blessings of his reign. It is unclear whether the 47th president believes referring to himself in the third person mesmerizes listeners as much as himself. During his 2024 presidential campaign, Trump continually promised to make life more “affordable” for Americans battered by Bidenflation. But in Iowa, Trump scoffed that Democrats “come up with this word ‘affordability.’” “First time you heard about it was like a few months ago,” he said. “You’re not hearing it so much anymore . . . because the prices are coming down so much.”” – James Bovard

Winter Storm Fern: If a Million Outages Isn’t a Failure, What Is? – “Winter Storm Fern exposed deep structural fragility in the U.S. power grid, with outages affecting up to a million customers despite years of warnings from reliability watchdogs. Industry restructuring has fragmented accountability, leaving no single entity responsible for end-to-end reliability while failures carry little financial or moral consequence. Grid unreliability is pushing those who can afford it toward off-grid solutions, threatening a slow but destabilizing erosion of the traditional utility customer base.” – Leonard Hyman & William Tilles

No Mass Deportations: Trump And Border Czar Tom Homan Say ‘You’re Going To See A Drawdown’ In ICE Deportations, Focus On ‘Targeted’ Arrests – “President Trump also said that there was going to be a claw back during his rally at Iowa last week. “We’re gonna de-escalate a little bit.” However, Trump then attempted to roll that back after Homan’s and Trump’s initial comments went viral. Speaking at a premier event for the movie about the First Lady called “Melania,” Trump was asked if there would be a drawdown, the President said no.” – The WinePress

Ukraine Suffers Unprecedented Nationwide Blackouts as Grid Teeters on Edge – “Somewhat swept under the rug by all the new commotion filling the news cycles today was the fact that yesterday Ukraine suffered a massive unprecedented country-wide blackout which even blew out major parts of neighboring Moldova. Even the Kiev metro stopped working, with the situation described as apocalyptic by outlets.” – Simplicius

Meet the former fashion blogger and shady doctor behind the ‘30,000 dead’ Iran psy-op – “Western officials seized on a dubious death toll of 30,000 protesters to escalate against Iran. The number originates with a single, clearly compromised source. But a zealously pro-war Guardian reporter is doing her best to legitimize it.” – Wyatt Reed and Max Blumenthal

ECONOMIC NEWS

THE DEEPER DIVE: Silver’s Slippery Slope amid Golden Showers – “From China’s silver hoarding to the president’s dollar busting and crypto creations, to overbought markets and corrupt banks, many contending explanations vie for Friday’s crash in precious metals.” – David Haggith  – UNFORTUNATELY MOST OF THIS ARTICLE IS BEHIND A PAYWALL. ALMOST WASN’T GOING TO LINK IT, BUT DAVID DOES TOUCH ON THE SUBJECT A BIT. I’VE ALWAYS LIKED HIS ANALYSIS, HOPE HE DOESN’T PULL A MANARINO AND START LINKING GOOD ANALYSIS BEHIND A PAYWALL. I’M NOT OPPOSED TO PEOPLE GETTING PAID FOR WHAT THEY DO,  I JUST DON’T USUALLY LINK ARTICLES THAT PEOPLE WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO READ UNLESS THE GIST OF IT IS STILL THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Silver Revaluation: The largest repricing event in modern monetary history. – “The great silver reset has begun: COMEX and LBMA vaults are bleeding dry as paper manipulators scramble to cover—silver’s explosive revaluation toward a 15:1 gold ratio now inevitable. Friday’s now-infamous “Silver Smash” wasn’t just another price raid — it was the most violent one-day engineered takedown in the modern history of silver trading. Over two full years of global silver mine supply — 1.58 billion ounces — were dumped on the COMEX in a single session. The result? A 40% price collapse in mere hours. But what happened after the smoke cleared is even more revealing. Open interest cratered from 317,000 contracts down to just 91,830 — meaning 1.127 billion ounces’ worth of paper silver was vaporized as positions were closed or rolled to avoid physical delivery. That’s the whole point of the raid: flush out longs, kill sentiment, and avoid facing the one thing the cartel truly fears — delivery. That extreme 345% turnover in March contracts (a major delivery month) wasn’t market “efficiency.” It was pure panic.” – The Silver Academy

Stackers get it, traders don’t – “If you successfully traded Friday’s collapse in gold and silver, well done. But be careful not to miss out on the big moves ahead. The end of the fiat currency regime is the big picture. Trying to trade this volatility is a lost cause. You may get lucky, but experience shows that nearly everyone who trades as opposed to hoards loses. The reasons are plain to see: Market makers are more powerful than you. This is because banks which own them have huge resources at their disposal to push markets wherever it suits them. Furthermore, instances of spoofing (where they place an order to influence prices without actually dealing) have led to criminal charges for the largest bullion banks and their dealers trading in gold derivatives. They do not play fair!” – Alasdair Macleod

Shock Silver Price Premium In Shanghai Will Quickly Drain Western Market Vaults – “If this price disparity continues, expect drastically restricted silver availability in Western markets in the weeks ahead.” – David Jensen

Crucial U.S. jobs report delayed again. What happens next? – “The partial government shutdown could push the publication of key employment data to next week” – Jeffry Bartash

ISM Manufacturing Expands in January for the First Time in 12 Months – “This was only the second positive report in 50 months. There were 36 months of contraction, followed by 1 month of expansion, then 12 months of contraction, and now another month of expansion. ISM is a diffusion index. That is direction matters more than quantity. For example a business hiring 2 employees will offset a business laying off 122 employees. Given the last expansion was a year ago, I wonder is a bit of seasonality is in play. Regardless, take the gain, but look at the comments and prices.’ – Mish

 

 

 

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

One Acre Against The Odds – “Why Planting an Heirloom Garden This Spring Is One of the Smartest Family Moves You Can Make Most families are about to get hit twice—and they don’t even see it coming. First at the checkout line. Then again at the dinner table. Food prices don’t have to explode for this to hurt. They just have to keep creeping—quietly, steadily—year after year. A little more for produce. A little more for meat. A little more for eating out when everyone’s tired and nobody wants to cook. And before long, the grocery bill becomes a fixed monthly anxiety you can’t negotiate with.” – Bill Heid

The Secret Plan that Could Change America Forever – “Governments don’t plan for things they believe will never happen. They plan for what they quietly expect, even if they never admit it out loud. In 2006, while most Americans were focused on gas prices, overseas wars, and everyday life, a small group inside the federal system was planning for something far more uncomfortable: a future where the country itself might become unstable enough to require internal containment. Operation Endgame was created in 2006 by ICE, operating under the Department of Homeland Security. At that time, the federal government was deeply focused on internal security and system failure scenarios.” – Kate L. Gilmour

Bug Out Vehicle Evaluation: A Step-by-Step Survival Checklist – “Most people treat their bug out vehicle like a gear accessory. Something you bolt upgrades onto, load with supplies, and assume will perform when everything goes sideways. That mindset is how vehicles fail at the exact moment they are needed most.” – Bob Rodgers
