THE BIG PICTURE

Is Your Faith Failing Because You’re Struggling? – “Being Human = Struggling Sometimes” – Kate Dreston

Flock You – “Let’s begin with the word itself. Because it conveys what they see us as. A flock – as of sheep or other animals to be herded. It is said of psychopaths that they have a need to tell us what they really think (and intend) so that when they do it, they can say they told us so – and we were too dumb to listen to them. Thus, we deserved what we got. Garret Langley, the CEO of Flock Safety – the private company that is erecting cameras in public spaces  and “sharing” the “data” with the government – has called people who oppose being treated like herd animals “terrorists” for publishing the location of these cameras, so that people are aware they’re being watched. Some people are taking defensive action against these cameras. ” – Eric Peters

Flock, Axon, Israel, and American Freedom (VIDEO) – “Flock cameras capture a complete vehicle fingerprint and use neural networks to identify and track people. Flock’s system can generate “heat maps” charting a vehicle’s movements for 30 days, which can be used to reconstruct a person’s movements, associations, and habits. The Fourth Amendment requires a detailed warrant with probable cause. But these new surveillance programs are collecting data on everyone without any suspicion, and are in direct violation of the Fourth Amendment.” – Greg Reese

While the Political Circus Distracts Us, Flock Builds the Digital Police State – “The government is watching. It watches where you go, whom you meet, where you worship, what medical offices you visit, what political rallies you attend, what protests you join, what books you read, what websites you visit and what causes you support. It watches through your phone, your car, your doorbell, your appliances, your purchases, your social media accounts and the cameras positioned along the roads you travel every day. This is how freedom dies in the digital police state:” – John & Nisha Whitehead

Quick Take…UK to Announce Social Media Curfew – “Just hours ago, it was reported that UK’s Labour government plans to announce a new social media curfew, adding yet another wrinkle to the country’s increasingly labyrinthine and totally meaningless rules for social media. We already have the outright ban for under 16s, and the auto-enabled device-side nudity detection, and now they’re adding a midnight social media curfew for 16 and 17-year-olds. Will it work?” – Kit Knightly

The American Experiment Has FAILED – “Your so-called “Representatives” just “voted” to make 250 Hard Fought Years of American Exceptionalism an Israeli Vassal State.” – The Tactical Hermit

‘Waiver’ in Defense Bill OK’s More U.S. Military Gain-of-Function Experiments on ‘Pandemic Pathogens’: H.R. 8800 – Jon Fleetwood

Update: an interim FDA response on the Citizen Petition to revoke Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines Biologics Licensing Approval (BLA). – “The FDA sends a non-response response, stating they need more [indefinite] time to think about this issue. The FDA made it clear they are not planning to do anything about this issue, because while stating that they need more time, no deadline is provided. They are shoving this into a circular filing system.” – Sasha Latypova

Sorry, conspiracy theorists, Lindsey Graham isn’t worth your effort – ‘Unlike the late senator, the war machine is immortal and can easily afford to lose one of its main mascots. His demise is a tale as old as time. A guy with a medically-documented bad ticker has a jammer at home around the same age as his own father did. Pretty straightforward. And boring. Far too pedestrian, apparently, for some folks” – Rachel Marsden

Western Governments Have a Shelf Life – “Pursuing anti-Western policies endangers Western governments. Many Western governments will eventually collapse because they do not serve the interests of their peoples. As a quick thought experiment, ask yourself what policy matters the governments of Canada, the United Kingdom, and the European Union consider most important. Based on what I hear from the speeches of Western politicians and what I see from Western mainstream media publications, I would include these issues near the top of any list…” – J.B. Shurk

The New Third Front: China Quietly Revamps Country for War – “An interesting series of reports have shone light on China’s ‘quiet’ but revolutionary preparations for conflict with the US. China has mastered the art of the silent observer. Legions of commentators spent years criticizing China for not being more active and involved in the global geopolitical theaters, such as the Russia-Ukraine war, particularly when tilting those conflicts in its own favor would have greatly benefited China. But now portions of China’s strategy are finally coming to light, and revealing the country’s uniquely furtive approach to maintaining a semblance of balance while in actuality making unprecedented hidden preparations for the worst case scenarios.” – Simplicius

18 Intelligence Agencies! – “So Much Intel, So Little Insight. Yes, it’s staggering. The U.S. government has eighteen intelligence agencies—euphemistically known as the IC or the intelligence community. Interestingly, the infamous DOGE, searching for government efficiency, never challenged that “community.”” – Bill Astore

Hey, Republicans, Spending Is Still Out Of Control – “For all the endless talk about “draconian” cuts, federal spending is running $172 billion ahead of last year, according to the Monthly Treasury Statement released Monday. And that includes a substantial increase in fraud-riddled Medicaid spending.” – I & I Editorial Board

Trump Has Lost The Entire Middle East Trade Partnership To CHINA – “Trump wants to turn the Strait of Hormuz into a US/Trump toll gate. Oh wait, he changed his mind. The Middle East is completely imploding. Trumps says Bahrain, UAE, Jordon, Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia will pay money to have the US protect them. Lots of money. I wonder if these monarchies are aware of their pledge? Whatever happened to Congressional approval for taking the US into WWIII?” – Helena Glass

Dead or Detained? Families in Gaza Search for Their Loved Ones – “With over 9,500 missing in Gaza, Palestinians search for family members under the rubble, in the “numbered graves cemetery,” or in Israeli prisons.” – Abdel Qader Sabbah

The House Speaker’s Refashioned Red Scare – “Johnson’s best imitation of Joseph McCarthy. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson finalized the Republican plank for the upcoming midterm election. It will not be about affordability, inflation, and the economy. It will not be about Trump’s undeclared war. The position going forward will be about communism.” – Kurt Nimmo

Euro elites fiddling while Paris burns – “The only “unity” on display in Paris was the closing of ranks by despicable elites who are tempting fate with war or revolution.” – Finian Cunningham

Fast Food Giant Under Investigation Over Explosive Diarrhea Outbreak: Report – “Federal and state health officials are reportedly zeroing in on Taco Bell restaurants as a possible culprit in one of the biggest parasite outbreaks to slam the U.S. in years, a nasty bug that turns your guts into a nonstop disaster zone of explosive diarrhea and misery. ” – Tyler Durden – SOUNDS LIKE TACO HELL TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In a Fox News interview with Jesse Watters that aired Monday night, Bessent reiterated his standing assurance that every ounce of the nation’s bullion is “present and accounted for” – while making no plans to visit the Kentucky depository himself.” – Tyler Durden – HASN’T BEEN THERE YET HE CAN ASSURE US IT’S THERE. LOL. AN AUDIT SHOULDN’T BE A PROBLEM THEN. BY THE WAY, WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THAT!!!

June CPI: Deflation! – “That outlook could change. Every factor that made stagflation a real possibility over the past few months is still present. The June inflation report was a one-time shot of good inflation news. Enjoy it while it lasts.” – Peter Nayland Kust

The Whole Inflation Story – “If you’re reading the headlines, you know that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) came in even cooler than expected. And the expectation was for a much cooler CPI thanks to falling oil prices. However, the CPI doesn’t tell the entire inflation story. The CPI measures price inflation. That is just one manifestation of monetary inflation” – Mike Maharrey
