THE BIG PICTURE

God Is Trustworthy. Men Are Not. – “The priests of the Temple wanted the people of Israel to follow them—to follow men. Peter, in preaching the Good News of Jesus Christ, wanted the people of Israel to follow God. We need no profound revelation of faith to understand that, whenever the choice is between God and Man, the right choice is always God.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Extractive Capitalism – “Gusher Up, Trickle Down, Leads Me to a Sinking Feeling. We’ve been living through a brutal experiment of how much work and wealth can be extracted from the working- and middle classes and funneled upward before the former are exhausted. It’s truly amazing how much wealth is being extracted from workers. The tax code targets wages more than capital gains. Inflation (gas, groceries, and other essentials) cuts into largely fixed incomes. Health care costs continue to rise and are the leading cause of personal bankruptcies. Higher education often leads to onerous student debt that cannot be discharged through personal bankruptcy. Workers are bombarded with ads to bet money on sports using apps on their phones. Lottery tickets are everywhere, selling the dream of a financial windfall at very long odds. Expensive prescription drugs are sold as a solution to excessive weight and even to addiction to other drugs such as opioids. The term “debt slavery” describes the status of many Americans;” -Bill Astore

NEWS

“Resembles a Turtle” – “Some brilliant person put up a bunch of Missing Person flyers around downtown DC. The flyers describe 84-year-old Senator Mitch McConnell – last seen actually alive, for sure – back in June – as “turtle like” – along with a picture that makes the point. Well, an AIgenerated image (probably) of the Dirty Old Turtle, as he is unaffectionately known. The whole thing reached a level of absurdity – and criminality – weeks ago. It is coming up on two months since the Dirty Old Turtle disappeared from public view and going on two weeks now since the AI generated image of him sitting up in bed, looking like a healthy Dirty Old Turtle with his cheerful looking wife by his side was issued as proof of life. If that image weren’t AI-generated, the Dirty Old Turtle ought to have been out of bed by now – or at least in front of a camera. We’re told – and they actually think we’ll believe it – that the Dirty Old Turtle is just recovering from a mild fall and a bout of not-so-serious pneumonia.” -Eric Peters

Welcome to the mega-war: Mideast and European conflicts merge, sucking in more countries along the way—even ones claiming neutrality – “Wars in Iran and Ukraine are increasingly overlapping while also expanding, as the U.S. mulls whether to make another attempt at delivering a knockout blow against Tehran.” – Jason Ma

Get ready to flee, Americans in ten countries warned as US embassies issue stark alert over spiraling Iran war – “The US Embassy has urgently advised US citizens across the Middle East to ‘consider departing or be ready to depart if there is an escalation,’ just hours after Trump signaled fresh strikes on Iran could come as soon as this weekend. The warning now covers 10 countries: the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, Oman, Iraq, Jordan, Israel, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and, most recently, Egypt. ” – Kelly Garino

US Careens Into Senseless Iran Escalation Amidst Lack of Options – “Netanyahu’s recent visit to DC has come with marching orders, which according to reports Trump is dutifully following with plans for launching a major strike campaign against Iran’s energy infrastructure.

The Debt to GDP Ratio – “There are very few economic statistics that actually matter. Most of what governments publish every month is little more than political theater.

One measure, however, deserves attention because it tells you whether government is expanding faster than the economy that supports it. That is the debt-to-GDP ratio.” – Martin Armstrong

Important Papers to Keep in Case of Emergency Preparing an emergency documents binder can save time and heartache down the line. – “I call this the grab-and-go binder because it’s the one you’ll want to grab on your way out the door in an emergency.

Your binder holds hard copies of all the details of life that help you navigate the electronic and bureaucratic world we live in. If nothing terrible ever happens, if your life flows by without a single serious event, you will still be grateful to have your paperwork organized and at your fingertips.” – Kathy Harrison  – HAVE LINKED ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS BEFORE!!!

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

I was cutting the rug
Down at a place called The Jug
With a girl named Linda Lu
When in walked a man
With a gun in his hand
And he was looking for you know who.
He said, “Hey there fellow,
With the hair colored yellow,
What you tryin’ to prove?
‘Cause that’s my woman there
And I’m a man who cares
And this might be all for you.”I said, “Excuse me.”I was scared and fearing for my life.
I was shakin’ like a leaf on a tree.
‘Cause he was lean, mean,
Big and bad, Lord,
Pointin’ that gun at me.
Oh “Wait a minute, mister,
I didn’t even kiss her.
Don’t want no trouble with you.
And I know you don’t owe me
But I wish you’d let me
Ask one favor from you.”

“Oh, won’t you give me three steps,
Gimme three steps a-mister,
Gimme three steps towards the door?
Gimme three steps
Gimme three steps a-mister,
And you’ll never see a-me no more
For sure.”

Well the crowd cleared away
And I began to pray
And the water fell on the floor.
And I’m telling you son,
Well, it ain’t no fun
Staring straight down a forty-four.
Well he turned and screamed at Linda Lu
And that’s the break I was looking for.
And you could hear me screaming a mile away
As I was headed out towards the door.

“Oh, won’t you give me three steps,
Gimme three steps a-mister,
Gimme three steps towards the door?
Gimme three steps
Gimme three steps a-mister,
And you’ll never see a-me no more.”

Show me the back door.

( Gimme Three Steps by Allen Collins and Ronnie Van Zant )
