THE BIG PICTURE

Ownership – “Is there even such a thing?” – Jessica Rose  – VERY GOOD READ FROM JESSICA!!!!!!!!!!!

Loss of Depth – “What in God’s name has happened to our youth? Not all of them, not yet—but the affliction is spreading fast. What contagion has taken hold? I could name a dozen, but the one that troubles me most—and the one that flows from all the others—is the loss of depth. By that I mean the quiet abandonment of any real pursuit of meaning, the evaporation of purpose, and the slow death of genuine passion.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

Canada’s Carney Seeks To Pass ‘Social Media Safety Act’ That Regulates Online Speech, Requires Digital ID To Access Social Media – “This threatens “to require a face scan or ID requirement for dozens of services Canadians use every day, from gaming, to cloud storage, to your local community message boards.”” – The WinePress

Scientists mull controversial plan to steer hurricanes – ““there is currently NO scientific evidence” supporting the idea that existing cloud-seeding technologies “can modify large-scale weather systems, in particular severe weather systems like hurricanes and thunderstorms, that are driven by large dynamic forcing.”” – Doyle Rice  – IF THEY ARE CONSIDERING IT, YOU KNOW THAT IT HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE BY DARPA AND USED AS A WEAPON!!!!!

New Flu Shots Increase Chances of Sickness & Death (VIDEO) with Karen Kingston – “Kingston is a biotech analyst, former Pfizer employee, and is warning that “Government Agencies are Bringing the Flu Back with a Vengeance.” This means new flu shots are already being developed. Kingston is back sounding the alarm for anyone thinking about getting one of the new flu shots. Kingston has done a deep dive using Big Pharma data on these new injections s. If you take one of them, it appears you are more at risk of getting sick or dying than just getting the actual flu.” – Greg Hunter

The European Commission have shut off air conditioning for employees in their Brussels headquarters, while leaving the AC on for themselves – “This toaster-themed building is the Berlaymont, and as the enormous gaudy banner on the front suggests, it is the headquarters of the European Commission, the executive branch of the European Union. The Berlaymont is in Brussels, and Brussels is in Europe, where the weather has been unseasonably warm, with daytime temperatures rising well above 30C (or 90F). Unhappily, the Berlaymont air conditioning system seems not to work so well in the heat, and so the European Commission felt compelled to turn it off – but only for lowly employees of the Commission. Commissioners, including Ursula van der Leyen, continue to enjoy cool air in their own offices.” – eugyppius

Make America Great Again—What’s the Real Plan? – “The way Vance/Trump deal with Iran reminds me of an 8th grade bully cajoling/threatening a 6th grader out of his lunch money. Everything in the 14 points that calls for American concessions is being put off—all to be decided by committee as the (non) cease-fire progresses. Jared Kushner is to decide how much of Iran’s stolen assets will be returned—and when. But first, Kushner takes his cut off the top? Lest we forget, Vance is running for president, appeasing everyone to that end. He’s appeasing some who actually seek peace, but like Tulsi Gabbard, Vance proceeds (keeping the change in his socks), looking to his future benefit.” – Erik@neverhadaboss.com

Does President Trump Have Any Idea What Passports Are For? – “The Passport Is Not a Campaign Brochure Why Is a Menacing Trump Glowering From Inside an American Passport? And why is “welcome, but be good” the written message? “Welcome, but be good” is not the language of citizenship. It is the language of a landlord. Or a bouncer. Or a king. It implies that entry into America — or perhaps membership in America — is something granted by the ruler and subject to revocation if the subject misbehaves.” – Mish

War and Constitutional Indifference – “Since its inception, the government of the United States has inexorably exceeded its powers under the Constitution. All three branches have been complicit in a consistent pattern of constitutional indifference.” – Andrew P. Napolitano

The Identity Politics Plantation Burns – “Just in time for the 4th of July! It really looked like America’s 250th birthday this coming 4th of July was going to be the very worst one ever, with absolutely nothing to celebrate as the Empire spirals down, and all indications are it can take our economy down with it, which would well and truly suck. Then, much to the dismay and panic of many who make their living from NGOs of Good Standing in the Great Democrat Party Moneylaundering & Grifting Operation, Democratic voters in New York City revolted.” – Ohio Barbarian

Small Plane Hits Beijing’s Tallest Tower; Was Someone Sending China A Message? – “A serious airspace breach occurred in Beijing’s Central Business District earlier Friday, when a Sunward SA60L Aurora light aircraft crashed into the 1,700-foot-tall CITIC Tower.” – Tyler Durden

Young White Men Will Save Western Civilization. Why? – “Because millions of their future wives, sisters, cousins and schoolmates have been brutally raped, their vaginas shredded with knives and infected with multiple diseases by Muslim gangs. If I am crunching the numbers right, we are looking at a minimum of five million, maybe as many as 15 million, rapes and assaults over the past 15 years alone throughout Europe and the Anglosphere. Pakistani gangs raping young British women was first recorded in the the late 50’s in Bradford, which is a locus of Muslim migration and was, even when I was living there in the early 90’s, a hotbed of crime, assault, murder and general mayhem.” – Elizabeth Nickson

Dreadpool: American Flag Blue, Now In Algae Green – “Maximum Effort, Minimum Waterproofing. People keep saying Trump screwed up the Reflecting Pool job. (He didn’t.) It went exactly according to plan, and the plan was never really about the pool. This is how you rob a country in broad daylight and get half of it to thank you. The job was estimated at $1.8 million. The final bill came in north of $14.6 million to waterproof the floor of a puddle.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

War On Iran: – New Clash Over Strait Passage – Lebanon’s Capitulation Ignites New Civil War – “the last days there were two developments in Lebanon and Iran that will likely cause the war to reignite into a much larger conflagration. Iran insists on having control over the Strait of Hormuz. But at least half of the passage way is under Oman’s jurisdiction. On Thursday the UN’s International Maritime Organization (IMO) had arranged for a convoy of ships that had been stuck in the Persian Gulf for weeks to sail through the Strait right next to the coast of Oman. Iran saw this (falsely) as a breach of the Memorandum of Understanding. Iran’s response to the challenge was a (harmless) drone attack on a container ship under the flag of Singapore which had used the IMO organized convoy to slip out of the Persian Gulf on its own. No one got hurt in the drone attack. There was only minor damage to the ship. The U.S. however used the incident, in which it was formerly not involved, to escalate the situation. Several U.S. airplanes launched stand-off missile attacks on Iranian radar installations near Sirik, a port city in southern Iran, near Hormuz. Last night Iran announced that it had hit back:” – Moon of Alabama

New Report Reveals True Extent of Devastation of US Fifth Fleet HQ in Bahrain – “Another ‘bombshell’ has been released by WSJ regarding the extent of the damage dished out by Iran onto US regional bases, corroborated by detailed new satellite photos: They report that the US Fifth Fleet Headquarters has been rendered “unusable”—at least in part—after taking a huge ballistic strike: That building alone, according to the report, is estimated at $200 million. The total for the rest of the Bahrain base was double that:” – Simplicius

Operation Barbarossa, 85 years on, the enemies of Russia are on the move again – “Western imperialism and its NATO weapons, proxies, and media are at it again.” – Strategic Culture Foundation

Zelensky Telegraphs 40-Day Pressure Offensive On Russia, Fueling Fears Of Slide Toward WW3 – “This sets up a potential slide into tit-for-tat escalation which could unleash a WW3 scenario.” – Tyler Durden

Ukraine’s Spree Of Strikes Against Russia Is More Showmanship Than Strategy – Andrew Korybko

“The Blow-up Is Going To Be Spectacular” (VIDEO) with Lance Roberts – “Markets are super-saturated in speculation. An important sign of this is that margin debt is at all time highs, and being used to purchase leveraged derivatives. “This will end in tears” warns portfolio manager Lance Roberts.” – Adam Taggart | Thoughtful Money®

Insurers shifted roof-replacement costs onto homeowners thanks to a new federal rule — just in time for hail and hurricane season – “A new federal rule for homeowners insurance is ‘a Band-Aid on a bullet wound,’ one mortgage expert says” – Genna Contino  – BUT THEY ARE STILL INCREASING YOUR HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE BY 20% WHETHER YOU HAVE A CLAIM OR NOT. QUITE THE RACKET THE INSURANCE MAFIA HAS GOING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is Gold’s Bull Market Over? – “Spoiler alert: Definitely not. The biggest challenge for aspiring long-term investors is the long-term part. That’s because Mr. Market is a manic/depressive who likes nothing more than torching paper profits via brutal corrections. Gold and silver are obvious examples. After a phenomenal run in 2025, the metals have spent the first six months of this year in free-fall:” – John Rubino

U.S. Factories Are Busier. So Why Are They Cutting Jobs? – “The devil is in the details And, truly, that is the case around this situation. The first thing to note is that Reuters, while reporting that factory activity is up, in the same article points out that much of what is driving the higher factory activity is that factory owners and managers are seeking to have on hand a surplus. They’re, in essence, borrowing future factory activity and putting it into play now. And the reason why they’re doing it is one of the details that is most concerning: “…anticipation of shortages and higher prices.”” – Peter Reagan

Price Inflation And The Path To $20,000 Gold (VIDEO) – “The central banker’s illusion that increasing the amount of the currency they create and increasing debt levels can increase real growth works for only a little while. In reality, increasing currency and debt drives current consumption that is unsupported by productive output of the economy. Instead of increasing economic output, central bank loose monetary policy, as we’ve witnessed for decades, drives speculation (“the DOW is at 50,000 !”), misallocation of resources and capital in the economy, and price inflation. An estimated 70% of current gold buying by central banks goes unreported and central banks are the largest class of buyers of gold globally. What does it tell us when central bankers vote with their feet and buy gold hand over fist (working on my mixed metaphors).” – David Jensen

 

 

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

When the Animals Still Need You – “Building a practical emergency care kit for pets and livestock before feed stores, vets, and supply runs become unreliable. Most preparedness plans start with the people. That makes sense. Food, water, heat, medicine, security, communications, and transportation all come first because if the household fails, everything attached to it fails too. But many prepared households are not just made up of people.” – denob

Free-Ranging Chickens: Pros And Cons Every Homesteader Should Consider – “Are you considering free-ranging chickens on your homestead? Read this first. For many backyard chicken keepers, chickens are the natural starting point… the “gateway animal”.

Optimism Bias – The Cognitive Flaw That Keeps Most People Unprepared (And How Preppers Can Beat It) – “There is a psychological reason why most people never prepare for disasters, and it is not laziness, ignorance, or a failure to read the news. It is a hardwired feature of the human brain called optimism bias, and it is working against your preparedness right now whether you know about it or not.” – Ask A Prepper Staff
