THE BIG PICTURE

3 Ways to Keep in Step With God – “This can help place you where you need to be on life’s path.” – Kate Dreston

Preemptive War, Permanent Emergency: The Real Cost of Trump’s Iran Strike – “The military-industrial complex and the American police state have joined forces. War abroad and war at home are no longer separate enterprises. They have fused. This did not happen overnight. Every modern president has stretched the limits of war-making power. Some have shredded those limits altogether. Each time that boundary is breached, the Constitution recedes a little further. This is one of those moments.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

Channeling Muhammad Ali – “Some may remember Muhammad Ali – the great boxer – who once explained why he had no interest in being sent to Vietnam. “I ain’t got no quarrel with them Viet Cong,” he said. He is also said to have said “No Viet Cong ever called me nigger.” His point being that he didn’t want to go to Vietnam – to kill or be killed – because why would he? It was not his fight. It was not America’s fight. Draft-age young men like Ali (at the time) were being told how important it was that they put their lives on the line to end the lives of other young men (as well as women and children and old men) in a distant country that so far as they could see had not attacked this country. It did not make much sense to them. Just as it does not make much sense today. What have the Iranians done to America? Americans are told they are planning to do awful things but is there any reason to believe this? Americans have been told for something like the past 35 years – by “Bibi” Netanyahu – that the Iranians are furtively developing nukes they never seem to develop and that if they ever do develop them, they are certain to use them against the United States. In fact, what “Bibi” dreads is the prospect of Iran being able to defend itself against the Rothschild colony he is the leader of.” – Eric Peters

The Golden Age of Ba’al The Great Deceiver and Beast – “The brutal assassination of the Ayatollah and his family has a parallel – the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution wherein Tzar Nickolas and his entire family were tortuously murdered. The Golden Age that was ushered in as a direct result was hell that lasted 80-90 years before recovery could be measured. But Trump has added a completely new layer to his ‘utopia’ vision, ushering in the AntiChrist per Revelations. Nothing could be finer than believing that anarchic annihilation of multiple countries and their civilizations will cause Lucifer to clap his hands in joy and show himself alongside Trump and Netanyahu in one Big Embrace. Both Netanyahu and Trump have revealed themselves to be great deceivers. Liars.  Russia is only now fully comprehending the extent of the deceit and realizing its impact on them. A shift in its handling of Zelenskky and Ukraine may reverberate as a result.” – Helena Glass

The Iranian ink blot – “Assessing the geopolitics. Iran seems to have become the great global ink blot, a world-spanning Rorschach test at once of surpassing complexity, scope, and divisiveness. The responses thereto come from 100 angles each likely revealing as much about the speaker as about the events themselves and, to be honest, an awful lot of what is being said is just plain bunk, made up facts, faulty calculations, emotive slop, and outright rage baited lunacy crashing into an already toxic political environment governed by rank tribalism. Meanwhile, like it or lump it, a new world order rooted not in the soft power deference (some would say capitulation) but in the hard power exigencies of what was once called the “great game” among great powers is being forged” – El Gato Malo

Happening Now: 2026 Farm Bill Debate It’s One Big Bayer Protection Act (VIDEO) – “Companies like Bayer that peddle pesticides and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) would get two big gifts if the 2026 House Farm Bill passes: 1. A free pass to poison us with impunity. 2. Money for industrial agriculture stolen from regenerative programs.” – Alexis Baden-Mayer

Mr. Monsanto Goes to Washington: The Casey Means Confirmation Hearing – “The recent Senate Health Committee hearing for Surgeon General nominee Casey Means went as anyone who follows these charades would have predicted: the vast majority of the production was devoted to the esteemed People’s representatives from both sides of the aisle, but especially Democrats, interrogating Means about her commitment to vaccines.” – Ben Bartee

What Happens Next In Iran? Decapitation, Quagmire Or WWIII? -“Before I begin this analysis of the situation in the Middle East and its consequences, I want to warn people that this examination is going to be largely secular and nuanced; which means people on both sides of the divide are going to piss and moan about it. Frankly, I don’t care. To be clear, I’m not interested in the “plight” of the Palestinians, the Islamic regime in Iran or the conspiracy theories of “groypers.” I find appeals of empathy and compassion for Islamic societies to be naive – They are perfectly indifferent and hostile to the west, they always have been. In fairness, I also don’t care about the Israeli government and I have no vested interest in whether or not they survive. I recognize many Christians would disagree with this position in the belief that Israel is the only western ally keeping watch over the Holy Land. I argue that it should be western Christians (not Israelis) in charge of the region, given it was ours (through the Holy Roman Empire) for centuries, until the Muslim hordes invaded. I’m also aware that there are numerous disinformation agents online who are paid by both sides. Israel as well as Islamic governments run these digital operations constantly.” – Brandon Smith  – AGREE OR DISAGREE, STILL A GOOD ANALYSIS FROM BRANDON, AS USUAL, I TRY TO SHOW ALL SIDES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is the White House Actually the Overlook Hotel East? – “The repeated snows in our region bring to mind great winter horror stories. It’s not so bad, weather-wise, but something is seriously psychologically wrong in DC. I’m afraid the “J” in DJT is for Jack, and it looks like all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Our Jack is looking ragged, his thought processes increasingly unstable since he started this expanding war against Iran, for no reason beyond Israel wanted him to divide up the IRGC’s target field throughout the Middle East,” – Karen Kwiatkowski

UNHOLY WAR: Military Leaders on Both Sides of the US-Israel-Iran War Preach Armageddon & the Antichrist – “The hoofbeats of the Apocalypse are now thundering through the halls of American mosques and US government.” – David Haggith

U.S. Widens Recall of Diplomatic Staff to Include Pakistan, Cyprus, Oman and Saudi Arabia – “On Tuesday, nonemergency staff and their family members were told to leave several posts as Iran continued to retaliate after U.S. and Israeli strikes.” – Isabella Kwai

Reflections from the Heart of the Empire: Of Dunces, Dustbins, and Destinies – “Our Mad Emperor has steered our tottering Empire into a war it cannot possibly win, for a cause not its own, in a place replete with historical dustbins. At least he won’t be lonely when he arrives at his own unavoidable destination. Operation Epic Fail Fury, they call it, of all the bloody arrogant bombastic names. “Bombing a country on the other side of the globe won’t make the Epstein files go away.”—Representative Tom Massie(R-Kentucky). True, but it just might Make America Go Away from the entire Middle East.” – Ohio Barbarian  – GOOD REFLECTIONS AS USUAL FROM THE BARBARIAN!!!

The Many Perils of America’s War on Iran – “Hegseth Boasts of War Without Mercy; What We Need Is Merciful Peace. Hegseth also doesn’t know something fundamental: You can’t do a wrong thing the right way. The Iran War is wrong. It’s illegal, unconstitutional, immoral, and also extremely dangerous. There’s no way to prevail in a war fought for the wrong reasons, a war fought without clear goals, a war that is already beginning to spiral out of control. But Hegseth thinks if the U.S. launches enough missiles, drops enough bombs, and torpedoes enough ships, somehow the U.S. will “win.”” – Bill Astore

Divide et Impera (Divide and Rule) – “The recent, more extensive release of the Epstein Files was the closest the ruling class has come to being exposed in centuries. The war in Iran changed the subject. As I write this post, I can already hear the protests that I am “defending the monstrous Iranian regime.” NO I AM NOT. I am merely reiterating the wisdom of our Founding Fathers—starting with President Washington’s Farewell Address of 1796—that it is NOT the responsibility of the American people to slay the world’s monsters.” – John Leake  – GOOD ARTICLE FROM JOHN. AGREE WITH THIS ONE PRETTY MUCH 100%!!!

Rubio Says US Had to Strike Iran Because Iran Would Defend Itself If Attacked – “The conflicting explanation comes as CENTCOM is reportedly calling for troops to “Be Relentlessly Lethal.” ” -Sharon Zhang

Rubio’s Preposterous Preventive War Argument – “There is in fact no “kick them while they’re down” exception to the prohibition on the use of force. Marco Rubio tries to spin U.S.-Israeli aggression: This is Rubio’s attempt at damage control, but this answer is even worse than the one he gave the day before. If the U.S. and Israel hadn’t attacked, U.S. forces weren’t going to get “hit” at all. The president’s threat against Iran was the main reason that American troops were in any danger in the first place. Trump put them all in harm’s way the moment he gave the order to strike. The president chose to get Americans killed and injured for no good reason. That is the shameful policy that Rubio is so ineptly defending.” – Daniel Larison

US Commanders Tell Troops War With Iran Is Preparing For Armageddon And The Return Of Jesus. Rubio Admits That Israel Dragged The US Into War With Iran, Trump Floats Sending Ground Troops – “He urged us to tell our troops that this was “all part of God’s divine plan,” and that “Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return…” – The WinePress

How Likely Is It That Pakistan Joins The Third Gulf War In Support Of Its Saudi Ally? – Andrew Korybko

Congress to America: What War? – “The White House refuses to call its war in Iran a war, instead labeling it “major combat operations” — a maneuver to keep Congress out of the picture. And believe it or not, Congress is going along with it. Setting aside the absurdity of the question of if killing a head of state is an act of war, there’s a deadly serious question here: what even is war anymore? Does last month’s killing of a Mexican cartel leader like El Mencho count? Or how about the kidnapping of Venezuelan ruler Nicolas Maduro the month before?” – Ken Klippenstein

Good Riddance, Jasmine Crockett Texas – “Democrats have had enough of her traveling circus. I have, too. The results of Tuesday’s Democratic primary in Texas delivered a clear political message: voters are tired of listening to Rep. Jasmine Crockett. And thank fucking god she lost, because I am too. Crockett, who spent much of her short national career cultivating a reputation as the politician who can constantly be wrong the loudest and with the most attitude, was defeated by Texas state Rep. James Talarico, who was nowhere near as prominent on national television and who many people have likely ever heard of.” – Quoth the Raven

Rare case of American corporate responsibility by a major tech firm pays off big – “Trump administration tried to destroy Anthropic because it refused to make its AI tools available for mass government surveillance and for use in autonomous weapons systems for the Pentagon. “CNBC is reporting that Anthropic’s Claude artificial intelligence assistant app jumped to the No. 1 slot on Apple’s chart of top U.S. free apps late on Saturday, a day after the Trump administration sought to block government agencies’ adoption of the startup’s technology. Anthropic refused to agree to the Pentagon’s demands that its AI tech allow a back door for the government to spy on Americans while in the same breath claiming that it would never do such a thing.” – Leo Hohmann

Recession Watch: Is Private Credit The New Subprime Mortgage? – “While oil was spiking, pretty much everything else tanked on the news that this latest war might last weeks rather than days: But neither oil nor war is our biggest problem. That honor goes to the shadow banking system — i.e., private equity and private credit — which is imploding, in the process imperiling trillions in dumb bets: Blackstone hit by surge in withdrawals from flagship private credit fund” – John Rubino

Gresham Wants Your Silver 🏃‍♂️🥈 – “And he might just get it too…What’s Really Happening in the Market Ignore the paper smash. Ignore the algorithmic dumps at 8:30 AM. Ignore the headlines telling you silver is “volatile.” Here’s the reality: Paper contracts can be created infinitely. Physical ounces cannot. When silver gets “hit,” it’s futures. When silver runs, it’s physical. Gresham’s Law is still operating — but now it’s global. ” – Kerry Lutz

London’s Hidden Financial Front in the Iran Conflict – “When War Risk Insurance Breaks, Trade Breaks. What allows the voyage to occur is an insurance contract. Without insurance, banks will not finance the cargo, ports will not accept the vessel, and charterers will not sign the voyage. Insurance, in other words, functions as the license that permits global commerce to operate. The most important financial consequence of the Iran conflict may therefore have little to do with oil prices. It may instead involve stress in the insurance system that underwrites maritime trade.” – Alexander Muse

Fed is Adding $20B a Month to the Balance Sheet – “The new presumptive Fed Chair Warsh has said that he does not like the use of the Fed balance sheet. Unfortunately, he will likely find it far harder to shrink than he would like. The only reason 2026 is showing as negative is the reduction of Reverse Repos in January.” – Peter Schiff

Is Graphene The Next Big Boom? (VIDEO) with Kjirstin Breure – “Have you heard of graphene? It’s a 2-dimensional variety of the element carbon — known as a carbon “allotrope” — — consisting of a single layer of carbon atoms tightly bound in a hexagonal honeycomb lattice. Graphene is known for its exceptionally high tensile strength, electrical conductivity, transparency, and being the thinnest two-dimensional material in the world. Despite the nearly transparent nature of a single graphene sheet, graphite (formed from stacked layers of graphene) appears black because it absorbs all visible light wavelengths. On a microscopic scale, graphene is the strongest material ever measured. Graphene is a versatile, ultra-strong, and highly conductive material used to enhance batteries (faster charging), create durable anti-corrosion coatings, develop flexible electronics, improve solar panel efficiency, and advance biomedical applications like drug delivery. It acts as a super-material additive in composites, strengthening everything from tennis rackets to car tires.” – Adam Taggart | Thoughtful Money®  – THEY HAVE  BEEN TOUTING GRAPHENE FOR SEVERAL YEARS, FIRST STARTED LINKING ABOUT IT IN 2018.

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Should You Add Livestock To Your Homestead? 10 Questions To Ask Before You Start – “Every spring, like clockwork, the feed stores fill up with fluffy chicks. Social media is covered in baby goats. Your neighbor posts about fresh eggs. And suddenly you’re asking yourself: Is this the year we finally add livestock to our homestead? If you’re craving more self-sufficiency, better food security, and a deeper connection to your land, adding animals can feel like the natural next step. But livestock is a serious commitment financially, physically, and emotionally. Before you bring home that first chick, goat, or calf, let’s walk through what you really need to consider.” – Homesteaders of America

New Research Reveals The Truth About Bentonite Clay – “For homestead life, bentonite clay has long held a quiet place of honor. It sits in mason jars beside baking soda and Epsom salt. It gets stirred into face masks, dabbed on bug bites, and sometimes even mixed into water as a “detox.” Here’s the key takeaway. Bentonite behaves less like a magical internal chelator and more like a heavy-duty sponge. In other words, it mostly stays inside the digestive tract. It doesn’t roam through your bloodstream pulling mercury from your bones. Instead, it sits in the gut and binds charged molecules and metals present in the intestinal contents, carrying them out in the stool. That distinction matters. It means bentonite can reduce what gets absorbed into circulation in the first place—but it is not vacuuming decades of stored toxins out of tissues. For off-grid readers dealing with questionable grain storage, mold-prone barns, or livestock feed risks, that gut-level binding effect isn’t trivial. Preventing absorption at the door is often easier than trying to fix damage later.” – Bill Heid
