THE BIG PICTURE

The Wrath of Man Long Since Earned. A Final Warning from the Old Blood – “I’m the son of men who crossed oceans with nothing but honour and a rifle. Honour was never abstract to us. Never a thing could or can be measured in money, weighed in gold. It was and is the quiet covenant between a man and his word, between a father and the future he’s sworn to guard. They, the Financialists and all their money grubbing priests, murdered honour in ways that don’t only mock every oath we ever swore, but mock anything that is good and right and human real. Make no mistake, however. Do not believe our honour is a commodity any longer. We men, we few men of honour, remember what you’ve forgotten or never knew: that some debts are paid only in the coin of consequence, at the going rate of steel and ash.” – E.M. Burlingame  – ANOTHER GOOD ESSAY FROM E.M.!!!!!

THE DEEPER DIVE: The Beast is Here! – “According to numerous experts at the top of AI, the AI singularity—the moment that changes human history in an historic heartbeat—will be experienced this year.” – David Haggith

AI: Why We’re Underestimating the Threat – “The Asian Guy phenomenon is a wake-up call for podcasters, as the same avatar — and AI content-generating engine — proliferates in the precious metals space. Now, he/it is branching out into other fields. Recognize this voice?” – John Rubino

Starmer to add VPNs to UK’s “social media ban” – “In a statement yesterday, the office of the British Prime Minister announced plans to broaden the scope of the “social media ban” for minors that would see virtual private networks (VPNs) included in the future. He will also be announcing potential “new powers” which will come into force after a “consultation” this summer.” – Kit Knightly

#MAHA win! A convicted rapist human ear biter will scold you to “Eat Real Food”. – “I am at a loss to explain the overall black-menacing look, the one-eye Satanic symbolism, the facial tattoos (a hallmark of drug cartels) and the overall choice of a violent knucklehead Mike Tyson to be the face of this “health” campaign. I am not proposing a conspiracy. I am just asking simple questions: Can we ask for the definition of “real food”, Secretary Kennedy? Does human flesh qualify? Do you care to explain how women should feel about your choice of a convicted violent rapist as the MAHA “real food” spokesperson? Would you like me to tell you how I feel about this?” – Sasha Latypova

Epstein-itis – ” Gird your loins. It’s getting worse by the hour. The Jeffrey Epstein files suggest that people will do anything and that people will believe anything. Pizza, hot dogs, white sharks. . . boys, girls, babies, teens, Russian whores. . . celebrities by the score. . . billionaires. . . cannibal orgies. . . vivisection parlors. . . adrenochrome. . . blood. . . dead bodies. . . demon worship. . . a depraved and insane global leadership. . . lemme outa here! I don’t know what’s real in Epstein and what’s not — but neither do you. What you ought to know is that the colossal inventory of Epstein files is perhaps the greatest instrument of mass mind-fuckery ever seen in the history of Western Civ.” – James Howard Kunstler

Will Trump’s Legacy Be Saved If He Starts World War III? – ” Trump wants to be remembered as the President who preserved the United States as the dominant economic and military force on the planet, the President who increased prosperity at home and peace abroad, against all odds. Trump, for all his talents, has learned little that can help the United States today. The American imperial era is fading, sinking under the weight of government bankruptcy and a consumer-based economy dependent on the very employment sectors that blockchain, robotics and AI are rapidly disrupting. Americans are increasingly poorly educated, and many struggle to meet their own needs, under a complex system of regressive taxation and minutely detailed regulations designed by and for the upper crust. Not understanding what to do, Trump seeks autocracy, to be guided by his own mind, and his own morality. ” – Karen Kwiatkowski

Will Cuba Return to US Colonial Rule? – “As the White House threatens war against Cuba, I am reminded of the charming evenings my parents and I spent at Havana’s venerable ‘Floridita Bar, sipping a newly invented cocktail, the Margarita, with the renowned writer, Ernest Hemingway. `Papa’ Hemingway, who then lived in Cuba, loved this island with a great passion and wrote about it often. I feel the same way. I’ve been visiting Cuba since before Castro took over and feel at home in this socialist nation, no matter how threadbare or destitute.” – Eric S. Margolis

Democrat Officials Discard Americans as Collateral Damage – “Democrats see even fellow Democrats as expendable. When the most Democrat-voting county in America treats fellow Democrats as worthless trash, there’s no limit to how much harm Democrats are willing to inflict upon citizens across the United States. The upcoming midterm elections later this year matter. Why? Because American lives are at stake. Democrats see the lives of fellow Democrats as expendable. They certainly don’t care about yours.” – J.B. Shurk

“You Had Me at Hello”: Newsom and AOC Go to Europe to Pitch High Tax, High Regulation Policies – “Newsom and Democrats such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) were selling a brave new world that looked a lot like the broken old world. It was an ironic moment. They were addressing countries at the Munich Security Conference that had previously destroyed their economies through socialist and far-left policies. The rush of liberal Democratic officeholders to Europe was telling. A new poll shows that a record 58 percent of voters believe their party is “too liberal.” But Newsom and Ocasio-Cortez found a welcoming audience in Europe. The global elite gushed over Ocasio-Cortez and sat enraptured as she rattled off socialist platitudes.” – Jonathan Turley

Apple buys Israeli ‘pre-speech’ tech firm implicated in Gaza genocide – “Tech giant Apple has quietly paid nearly $2 billion for a ‘pre-speech’ tech company whose employees helped Israel commit genocide in Gaza. And Apple has paid this money, the second-biggest deal in its history, for a company that doesn’t have a product, doesn’t have any revenues and whose website is a single page containing 15 words. The company, Q.ai, is developing sensors which map the imperceptible movements of a human face to determine the words someone is thinking before they’re spoken. They call it silent speech. Or pre-speech. And it’s exactly as sinister as you think it is.” – Nate Bear

Macron’s AI Clown Show: Europe’s Digital Dilemma – “Macron’s striking presence in foreign affairs—whether regarding the Ukraine war or recurring provocations toward the United States—correlates with his aggressive censorship policy toward his own population. A president without a people, steering his minority government through a budgetary crisis that brings France ever closer to the fiscal abyss. In Macron’s persona, the European misstep is condensed: economically failed, deeply unpopular among his own people, geopolitically essentially irrelevant—and yet imbued with lofty, messianic plans.” – Thomas Kolbe

A Venezuelan-Like Oil Blockade Against Iran Could Enable The US To Divide-And-Rule RIC – “The cascading consequences of such a blockade, which might not ultimately be imposed due it entailing a high risk of war with Iran, could simultaneously weaken Russia, India, and China.” – Andrew Korybko

Trump Touts “78 Percent Reduction in the Trade Deficit” Due to Tariffs – “Let’s compare Trump’s claim to actual trade numbers. Last year, the goods trade deficit $1.205 trillion. Through November, the trade deficit is $1.134 trillion. There will be no significant change in the trade deficit in 2025 vs 2024. There may even be a small increase in the deficit. The US runs a surplus in services so the overall net trade deficit is better.” – Mish

Chinese Consumers Gobbling Up Gold in Run-Up to Lunar New Year – “Chinese consumers seeking a “safety net” are gobbling up gold even with prices at record levels. The Chinese Lunar New Year holiday (Feb. 17) typically boosts Chinese gold demand. This year, buying is hotter than ever, even with elevated prices. ” – Mike Maharrey

EVs Become New Affordability Play: Buy Used, Three Years Old, Save 50% – “Electric car affordability remains out of reach for many consumers because these vehicles still cost more than petrol-powered cars, with average transaction prices for a new EV in August 2025 at about $57,000. Still, some buyers want EVs and are turning to the used car market. “You can get a two- or three-year-old EV for 50% off, and you’re talking about something with a lot of technology and a warranty on the battery.” There’s also a tsunami of off-lease EVs from 2023 to 2024 hitting the market now. EV depreciation has been an absolute nightmare for owners who bought new. At this point, buyers can often wait 2 to 3 years and pick up an EV at roughly a 50% discount, with full vehicle and battery warranties still intact.” – Tyler Durden

 

 

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

The Pentagon Will Remove Your Off-Grid Location. Here’s Why – “At first, the idea sounds strange. Most off-grid homesteaders are not doing anything illegal, and they are not threats to anyone. So why would the Pentagon be involved at all? The answer is that the Pentagon does not think in terms of personal lifestyle choices, but they see it as strategic awareness. For anyone living remotely, the disturbing takeaway is simple: distance no longer protects you when observation can come from directly above, day after day, without anyone knowing it’s there.” – Kate L. Gilmour  – EVEN SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS GOOGLE MAPS CAN PINPONT JUST ABOUT ANY LOCATION!!!

How to Start a Local Prepper Group and Build a Reliable Network – “If you’ve been preparing for any length of time, you’ve probably reached that moment when stacking supplies no longer feels like the whole answer. Extra food, more ammo, another water filter. It’s all important, but at some point you realize that resilience isn’t just about what’s in your basement. It’s about who stands beside you. That’s when the decision to start a local prepper group shifts from a passing thought to a strategic move.” – Bob Rodgers

The New Rules of Bugging Out in 2025: Lessons from the Last 5 Years – “When I started prepping around 2008, the concept was designed to get you out of a bad spot fast. Many people (me included) had some form of pre-prepared bag that was intended to be thrown on in seconds that contained all the supplies you needed to live off the land. This seems like a great idea but add kids or elderly relatives into the mix and it gets more complicated. Let’s say you do bug out, then what? You will never be able to carry enough food to last you more than a few days and you should banish any notion that you’re going to be living off the land or scavenging for food and supplies. Bugging out has always been a last-ditch option in my mind, but worthy of consideration for a lot of us.” – Pat Henry

Papercrete Recipe and Instructions – “Papercrete was invented in the 1920s, but it was so easy to make, no one bought it. Papercrete has been used to build homes, walls, fences, and is easily formed into any object from flowerpots to furniture. The biggest advantage of papercrete is that it’s lightweight but sturdy enough to bear loads. It also has excellent insulating properties with an R-value of R2 per inch. Better yet, you can use regular hand tools and power tools to saw it, drill it, and you can even pound nails into it.” – Steve Nubie
