The Only ‘Winners’ in Wars Are Those Who Profit and Gain From War – “Firstly, it must be understood that this country called the ‘United States,’ is the most brutal and terroristic prosecutor of aggressive slaughter and war in the history of the earth. The substantiated claim that the U.S. has been at war for 94% of its history, if anything, is an understatement. No country or nation-state has adopted war as its primary political mission to any extent close to that of America, the so-called land of the ‘free’ and home of the ‘brave.’ None are free here, and there is no such thing as bravery in war, as war itself is the essence of pure evil, because it is nothing more than the aggressive massacre of humanity on orders for the sole purpose of doing the murderous bidding of the ruling cabal.” – Gary D. Barnett

Welcome to the Surveillance Grid – ““We have cameras everywhere in town. You cannot get a breath of fresh air without us knowing”. Those words were spoken by a Colorado police sergeant to a suspect at her home. Sgt. Jamie Milliman was speaking to Chrisanna Elser, who he accused of stealing a package off someone’s porch. The interrogation was captured on Elser’s doorbell cam. The images were taken by Flock, a private surveillance company. The firm has more than 100,000 video cameras all over the U.S. Flock constantly tracks movement of vehicles and people, and sells the data to law enforcement and other agencies. The police officer also told Elser there was a video of her stealing the package. But since she denied being involved, he refused to show it to her. Eventually, Chrisanna was able to find the package theft video online. The female suspect in the blurry video was also blond.” – Adam Sharp

Why We Need MORE Flock Cameras… (VIDEO) – “There’s been a wave of freedom loving Americans who want to protect their privacy cutting down flock cameras. We’re told that flock cameras are just for our protection, meant to help catch criminals. In reality, they have you under constant mass surveillance. “We need to get to the point where we have surveillance cameras surveilling our surveillance cameras so we can catch these people cutting down our surveillance cameras. Oh, you’re putting your privacy ahead of public safety.  That’s real mature, loser.  Yeah. Yeah, I know that people are pissed because they think our flock cameras are used for warrantless spying. Folks are just misinformed. We’re not spying. We’re surveilling. Warrantless surveilling.”” – AwakenWithJP   – MORE SATIRE FROM JP ON FLOCK CAMERAS!!!

South Korea Enacts Massive Censorship Law Criminalizing Residents For Spreading Mis- And Disinformation With Heavy Fines – “South Korea became the latest nation this week to drastically clamp down on speech and the spread of information online and in the press, passing a revision to their Communications Network Act, and transgressors of that law face very steep fines. The government can now determine what is true and what is not.” – The WinePress

More Published Studies Show Virgin Coconut Oil is Effective for Diabetes and Weight Loss – “Peer-reviewed research has shown for decades now that adding coconut oil to one’s diet, especially if one is replacing toxic seed oils, has tremendous impacts on those suffering with diabetes and excessive weight gain. Most of these studies are conducted outside of the U.S., because this information has been heavily censored as it contradicts USDA and FDA dietary advice, in favor of drug interventions instead.” – Brian Shilhavy

Trump’s 1,000 Missiles Locked and Loaded Netanyahu is pulling out all stops to force Trump to continue the illegal war against Iran.. If the Art of the Deal fails, threaten them with total destruction. That’s what Trump did Friday night with another irrational post to his Truth Social.” – Kurt Nimmo

Tyler Robinson- Just Another Patsy – “Show Trials “R” Us. The preliminary hearing for Tyler Robinson, accused assassin of Charlie Kirk, is underway. It’s been action packed so far, with conservative apologists claiming that grainy video showing a figure alleged to be Robinson at Utah Valley University on the day of the shooting is explosive “evidence” that he was the lone, guilty party. As if this footage- which never shows the individual’s face clearly- wasn’t enough, witnesses reported that grieving widow Erika Kirk was seen frequently dabbing her eyes with a tissue. This is, of course, one of her signature moves, and a sure fire indication that Tyler Robinson acted alone. ” – Donald Jeffries

Hubris Sinks Canada – “Welfare queen Canada can’t survive without handouts. Canadian citizens do not understand that Americans prop up their entire economy, they believe that carbon taxes, electric vehicle mandates, and expensive “green energy” boondoggles come with no cost. Canada is blessed with abundant reserves of crude oil, but Canada’s brainwashed people believe that it would somehow be better for their economy if they ban new hydrocarbon projects and destroy existing oil pipelines. Economic growth through economic suicide is the Canadian way. ” – J.B. Shurk

Neil Oliver interviews Tucker Carlson ‘…are we digging our own GRAVES?!’ (VIDEO) – “I was a guest on your podcast in Maine just over two years ago now. I looked it up. It was the June of 2024. And I have to say I thought at the time that things had got about as mad in the world as they were going to get and that surely we were coming out of the dark and heading for the sunlight uplands. How wrong I was. Uh the last couple of years,  I have watched you witness those years. Um how how much more madness do you think we’re looking at before we uh uh break loose into something that makes sense?” – Neil Oliver

The Ann Widdecombe murder investigation has shocked Britain – “The death of the Tory turned Reformer is a horrific loss for British public life.” – Hugo Timms

RIP Ann Widdecombe – and shame on her haters – “The despicable response to her horrific death reveals a deep moral rot on the left. This socialism of ghouls is something we have grimly come to expect. Today’s leftism has been infected by a hysterical intolerance and adolescent misanthropy that flares up whenever someone on the right dies – even when they are assassinated.” – Tom Slater

Cuba Plunges Into Second Island-Wide Blackout As Communist System Unravels – “Cuba suffered its second nationwide blackout in a matter of days late Friday, another sign that the communist-controlled island is sliding deeper into economic collapse amid tightening US sanctions and renewed pressure from the Trump administration. Havana blames US “gunboat diplomacy” and the financial sanctions for its economic demise, but the roots of the crisis are decades of communist rule, chronic underinvestment, widespread economic mismanagement and a crumbling power grid.” -Tyler Durden

Harris and AOC: The Winning Democratic Ticket for 2028? – “They were once on the fringe – but now they’re something like mainstream. AKamala Harris and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) presidential ticket is apparently becoming a distinct possibility. Cue the snickering and snide remarks. Activate the insults that involve geography and word salads. Republicans might revel in this seemingly foolish choice and believe any candidate from the Republican Party would win. Well, they might as well shoot themselves in the foot. Trusting the electorate to make the “right” selection is the only thing laughable in this process – and making that mistake has undone the “sure thing” more often than not in our lifetime.” – Sarah Cowgill

The Retirement Expense Rising Faster Than Inflation – “A vacation can be postponed. A new car can wait another year. You can eat out less often or skip the kitchen remodel. A necessary prescription, medical test or hospital visit is different. That is what makes healthcare such a difficult retirement expense. We know we are likely to need more of it as we get older. We just don’t know how much we will need – or how much it will cost when the bill arrives. New health-insurance figures offer a troubling reminder of just how quickly that retirement math can change.” – Peter Reagan

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Root Cellar Temperature and Humidity Requirements: Why Food Rots and How to Prevent It – “Anyone who has opened a root cellar door in January and found a bin of soft, weeping potatoes or a shelf of shriveled carrots knows the disappointment firsthand. The vegetables looked fine in October. By midwinter they had turned to mush, sprouted in the dark, or dried out until they were barely edible. In almost every case, the culprit was not bad luck or bad seed stock. It was a mismatch between what was actually happening inside the storage space and the root cellar temperature and humidity requirements that different crops need to survive the winter intact.” – Bob Rodgers

Learning By Doing: Why Skills Matter More Than Gear – “Walk through any preparedness event and you will see tables full of impressive gear. Radios, water filters, first aid kits, knives, solar equipment, food preservation tools, emergency lighting, and enough gadgets to fill a trailer. There is nothing wrong with buying quality equipment. Good gear has its place. But gear alone has never made anyone prepared.” – denob

The Legal Aspects of Defending Your Rural Home – “Defending your home and property is thought of as a fundamental American right. And it is, but despite that, laws, and lots of them, still apply. It is your responsibility to stay within the law so that you can avoid a negative outcome if you are forced to defend yourself, your family, home, and property.” – Tom Marlowe

Why Your Garden Wilts in July Even When You Water Every Day – ” A plant that wilts in the middle of a hot afternoon and then stands back up by evening is not necessarily short on water. On a hot day, a plant loses moisture through its leaves faster than its roots can pull it up from the soil. This is called transpiration, and it is the plant’s way of staying cool, sort of like how we sweat. When the heat gets to be too much, the plant droops on purpose. Drooping shrinks the amount of leaf surface facing the sun, which slows the water loss down. It is a survival trick, not a cry for help.” – Olivia Brooks
