THE BIG PICTURE
Hate from a Distance – “I know what hate is. I’ve felt it. I doubt there’s a human alive who hasn’t had firsthand experience with the emotion. But for me, hate has to come with pretty good, in-your-face, grounds. What about you? Is it a good thing to refrain from hate? I think so. I don’t mean to bring up Trump so often, but you have to admit, he is the giant elephant in the room and always a great subject for comment. He is a perfect example of what this article is about—hate. I don’t have to tell you he is the number one object of hate in the world today. Sure, there are others, but Trump gets the gold medal.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

Trump’s WWIII: Hospital Flotilla Heading for Iran – “WHY is President Trump sending a military hospital flotilla to Greenland? Why is he saying it is to help the sick people of Greenland? Are there no hospitals or doctors in Greenland? Quite simply, Trump is anticipating American soldier casualties when we initiate war with Iran and is afraid of the backlash this admission would have on The People. Iran. The means of distracting from the demise of America. Now that Huckabee has given the Middle East due notice that Israel is planning on taking over more territory than believed, the boundary lines shift. Saudi Arabia is awakening from its slumber. Qatar sees the duplicity. And the remaining pro=Trumpers trying to shift blame to the UK Black Nobles is falling flat. And HHS antisemitism gulags look more like concentration camps. Iran hosts upwards of half a million Christians. ” – Helena Glass – HELENA CONNECTS A FEW DOTS HERE AND IT ISN’T PRETTY!!!!!
Nutritional Deficiencies and Toxicity: The Silent Collapse Beneath Every Modern Disease – “Americans are undoubtedly the champions of disease, for they have the worst diets, the most vaccines, the most dangerous and numerous tests like CAT and PET scans, and take the most medications of any people on Earth, and the statistics sustain this view. Instead of supporting health, Americans, and of course, many others around the world, support the pharmaceutical paradigm that tears down health.” – Dr. Sircus

AUSTRALIAN MAINSTREAM MEDIA MYSTIFIED & BAFFLED: “More Young Australians Are Being Diagnosed With Cancers Once Thought To Affect Mostly Older People” – “Another day, another Mockingbird MSM outlet is activated to feign bewilderment and grave concerns over the burgeoning VAIDS-induced turbo cancer epidemic. This time the antipodal quislings have been activated to wonder out loud what could ever be driving these unprecedented cases in demographics that have historically never experienced such cancer rates; that is, until they were injected by an out of control tyrannical Down Under government with PSYOP-19 Modified mRNA slow kill bioweapon “vaccines,” but we digress:” – 2nd Smartest Guy in the World

About Those Checks…- “It became the practice of Roman caesars – after the actual one’s murder in the Forum and the reign of his immediate successor, Augustus – to buy the affection of the people (as well as the legions) by showering them with sesterces, coins in Roman times. It became necessary in short order – after Augustus – for the new caesar to do this, else he might end up – and often did end up – being put to death by his own praetorians. Trump promised sesterces – twice thus far. Initially, we plebes were supposed to be getting a $5,000 check as our common refund, to be paid-for by all the money saved by Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency. Does anyone in our amnesiac era recall? Trump’s promises of sesterces – to the tune of $5,000 for each of us plebes – was of a piece. It was greeted with wild enthusiasm because so many of us plebes could very much use $5,000 – Well, we’re very close to the vaguely hinted at point at which the imperator said the sesterces would be paid out. Is there anyone who still believe they will be? ” – Eric Peters – I HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE. ERIC SAYS IT WAS REDUCED TO $2000, BUT I TOOK THE $2000 REFUND TO BE FOR TARIFFS IN ADDITION TO THE $5000 DOGE SAVINGS REFUND. SO ACTUALLY HE WAS PROMISING TWO DIFERENT REFUNDS NOT A REDUCED REFUND. WHICH WE WON’T SEE EITHER OF THEM!!!
A Campaign of Bad Faith and Ill Will – “Lunacy proceeds from crime. In case you wonder why half the country has gone crazy, seek no further than Susan Rice’s stark warning to the other half of the country that is not crazy. Ms. Rice was Barack Obama’s National Security Advisor and then “Joe Biden’s” Domestic Policy Advisor. She did a podcast last week with Preet Bharaha. Her message to Trump supporters: We’re coming after you when we’re back in power. “Revenge is a dish best served cold.” It was an important signal and it got a lot of people’s attention. It telegraphed the fear running through the Lefty-left that their crimes against the country are being tallied, carefully catalogued, and presented to a grand jury in Florida. The crimes are bundled as a multifaceted conspiracy to overthrow the US government. Pretty serious. Sedition and Treason. Susan Rice knows what she (and others) did. Secondly, and surely less-known to the American public, was Ms. Rice’s role as Domestic Policy Advisor under “Joe Biden.” Her actual job from 2021 to 2023 was to serve as a conduit for Barack Obama to run “Joe Biden’s” White House, along with Jake Sullivan and Tony Blinken. During those years, the public rarely (if ever) saw Susan Rice. She avoided the news media and did not make public statements or appearances at White House events. The news media were happy to ignore her. They knew exactly what she was up to.” – James Howard Kunstler
Upon a platform of lies – “The very model of modern majoritarian mendacity. “If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit” is a time honored tradition among charlatans and politicians, but this commonplace political Pokémon sometimes evolves into a far more pernicious final form: New York city is becoming acutely hilarious in this regard. This has got to be some kind of all time record for going from “piles of socialist promises for free stuff” to “we need you in the work gangs because our infrastructure is borked.” Yes, the culpepper is satire, but the rest of this is all too real. It seems this gang cannot even keep its manifold mendacities straight and the irony of “you needed no ID to vote yourself into this but you need extreme amounts of ID to shovel yourself out” (In the New York collective work gangs, mo less) is thick enough to block a snowplow.” – El Gato Malo

Florida toddler dies after man allegedly binds, beats 3-year-old: Shocking child abuse case sparks outrage – “A Florida man has been arrested following the death of his girlfriend’s 3-year-old daughter, who succumbed to injuries after being allegedly bound and struck. According to the sheriff’s office, when deputies arrived, they were informed that 32-year-old Jeroen Jarrel Coombs had harmed Paisley and was trying to leave the scene. Coombs reportedly admitted to binding Paisley’s hands with a robe tie and her legs with painter’s tape to stop her from reaching into her diaper. He claimed that he dropped Paisley while she was still tied up, causing her to gasp for air. The sheriff’s office said that he later stated he struck her multiple times before realizing he “took it too far.” – Audrey Liza M. Nolasco
How Might Russia Respond To The US’ Planned Long-Range Missile Deployment To Germany? – “The redeployment of its hypersonic Oreshniks to Kaliningrad, Belarus, and/or Crimea is the most likely response so long as the US continues to informally comply with the New START, but any significant violations thereof could prompt Russia to redeploy (even just tactical) nukes to those places.” – Andrew Korybko
The Strategic Dilemma At the Heart of Iran’s Struggle – “Contradictory bouts of news and rumor continue to pour in surrounding Trump’s ‘imminent’ attack on Iran. The buildup is said to be the largest since the Iraq war, with various figures like ex-CIA operative John Kiriakou giving their renditions of ‘insider intel’ that Trump has already sealed the fated decision and is ready to roll heavy within the next 48 hours. Iranian officials, on the other hand, appear to signal that talks will continue into next weekend, and there are varied reports about deals gaining traction.” – Simplicius

Money Is Funny That Way: The Case for USD Supremacy – “The consensus holds that the US dollar is doomed, irrevocably sliding to zero. The US will continue issuing new dollars to maintain the pretense of stability until this money-printing triggers hyper-inflation, which will wipe out the USD’s remaining shreds of value. This consensus is largely based on the history of the Weimar Republic and other examples of money-printing (the only expedient solution) leading to the destruction of the currency. This could be the path the USD takes. But money is funny that way. It is a social construct and so the range of possibilities is wider than we might imagine.” – Charles Hugh Smith
