THE BIG PICTURE

The Eclipse of the Soul – “Humanity is unravelling. In the span of just a few generations—scarcely a century—we have witnessed a precipitous decline in the quality of our shared life. The symptoms are everywhere: drugs flooding communities, garbage choking landscapes, ethics treated as quaint relics, families dissolving, and relationships reduced to transactions. Many sense the rot but struggle to name its root. The cause, at bottom, is simple yet profound: we have ceased to value what is real.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

Jesus & the Mysteries of Light Exploring the Teachings From the Son of God. We speak of it as though it has always been exactly as we hold it today, whole, unchanging, and complete, yet the evidence tells a very different story. Generation after generation has reached in, removed what did not suit them, smoothed what troubled them, and shaped the words until they fitted the beliefs of those in power. As though the truth itself could be made to fit inside a box of another’s making. Gospels are gone entirely. Epistles have been cast aside. Visions and revelations, once cherished and read aloud by whole communities, were condemned and forgotten And so I wonder, with a quiet and earnest heart; who, exactly, took it upon themselves to decide that the greater majority of souls should receive only a curated portion, rather than the whole?” – Jordan Nuttall

Justin Trudeau Helps Katy Perry Promote New Song About Burning Churches Down – “With more than 120 religious institutions attacked and over 96 percent of the arson cases still unresolved, the imagery has struck a nerve among Canadians still waiting for answers.” – Frank Bergman

Another Summer Of Massive Canadian Wildfires – “Here we go again, another summer of wildfires up in Canada. “Climate change” is the cause, of course, says the mainstream media and government” – The WinePress.

Three recent eclipses drew a warning across America (VIDEO) – “Abraham Ojeda of Overcome Babylon connects three eclipses, two major fault zones, and a biblical pattern that may still be unfolding across America. Ojeda connects the 2017, 2023, and 2024 eclipses to an ancient biblical symbol, earlier periods of upheaval, and two of the most dangerous fault zones in North America. He also links the eclipse paths to Iran, the shifting balance between East and West, and the increasingly fragile systems on which modern life depends.” – Collapse Life  – VERY INTERESTING, WATCH WHEN YOU HAVE TIME.!!!!!!!

Building the Global Digital Ecosystem just another United Nations Global Policy – “What we are witnessing in rural Alberta is a localized skirmish in a much larger, coordinated international campaign. From the United Nations’ Global Digital Compact to the World Economic Forum’s smart-grid initiatives, the building blocks are being laid in identical fashion across the Western world. Step one is the deployment of localized broadband networks to establish permanent physical access pipelines across private land.” – Connie Shields

Rigor Tortoise? – “They tell us the Dirty Old Turtle – Senator Mitch McConnell – is not only alive but in good enough condition to pose for a picture with his wife. He looks alert enough and well enough in the picture, so how come we haven’t seen or even heard any more of him? Why does he not speak? Why are there no videos of him up and about? How come he’s not back at work? Isn’t that what he’s being paid (by taxpayers) to do? How many of us could disappear for a month and still be getting paid by our employers? Oh, yes. Of course. Our employers have the power to fire us because we work for them and if we do not work, then off we go. Common sense suggests McConnell is at the very least incapacitated, if not actually plastron up. If you’re old enough to remember the old Soviet Union, you probably remember when the various doddering old men who led it would just disappear and we’d be told they just had a cold and were just fine, really. After awhile, when the official lies could no longer be maintained, it was admitted that Comrade Brezhnev or Comrade Andropov or Comrade Chernenko had died. An interesting thing to recall is that Comrade Brezhnev was just 79 years old when he died. Almost youthful relative to the Dirty Old Turtle, who is 84” – Eric Peters

Senator Lindsey Graham’s Funeral Details Announced: What to Know – “The late U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham will be memorialized in Washington D.C. on Tuesday, July 28, his office announced Friday. Graham’s South Carolina funeral services will take place in Pickens County and Columbia the following day. “The funeral arrangements have been complicated by the fact that so many global leaders would like to attend,” Scott said. “And so the process of figuring out when the National Cathedral would be made available at the exact same time that the global leadership would want to come, and all the other national leaders who will be there, that has made it a little more difficult to get it done this week.”” – Gabe Whisnant and Hannah Parry  – IN OTHER WORDS THEY HAD TO GET THE BODY BACK FROM UKRAINE.

Speculations Over Ground Campaign into Iran Again Heat Up as US Moves to “Isolate” Coastal Zone – “Trump continues plying his neocon ‘forever war’ against Iran, with no plan or end in sight.

The more troubling reports claim that Trump continues to plan for some kind of ground assault.” – Simplicius

THE DEEPER DIVE: Tiny Bits of Truth and Huge Gulps of Lies – “What is the real state of our union? The president front loaded more lies into his speech than I thought any politician could tell in a single speech, but I want to start with one statement that was true temporarily because it is critical for you to understand it is a deceptive fact of the moment which the headline evidence would appear to support as true. It is a will-o’-the-wisp that will quickly vanish. That was Trump’s claim that inflation is falling faster than anytime since the end of Covid.’ – David Haggith

How Demographics are Driving America’s Long-Term Fiscal Illness – “Lately, two seemingly unrelated outbreaks have been competing for the spotlight. There’s a microscopic parasite making its way through America’s salad bowls. A healthy lunch has suddenly turned into poison. At the same time, there’s a massive, systemic failure quietly brewing in Washington. One that’s growing so rapidly it makes a stomach bug look like a walk in the park. While one threatens to disrupt your digestive tract for a week, the other quietly promises to derail the economic security of several generations.” – MN Gordon

DIY Food-Generator in a Box – “What if you could grow a whole season of food out of one big pot just by watering maybe twice a week? What if you never had to feed your plants and weeds wouldn’t be a problem anymore? Sounds too good? If you don’t believe it’s possible, I get it. Most of the time, container gardening doesn’t work as expected and the harvest is not even worth mentioning. But hear me out, this Food-Generator is in a league of its own.” – Olivia Brooks

Small Game Processing – “Small game often gets treated like a backup plan in preparedness circles. People talk about rabbits, squirrels, grouse, ducks, and other small animals as though they are simply “there” when food runs short. But any experienced hunter, trapper, or homesteader knows better. Small game is only useful if you can handle it properly after it is harvested. That is where many preparedness plans fall apart.” – denob
