When Profits Dictate Medicine, Lessons Learned Courtesy of the Cleveland Clinic – “and a splendid example of our broken health care system” – Ohio Barbarian – A MUST READ FROM THE BARBARIAN ON OUR SCREWED UP MEDICAL SYSTEM!!!

Lindsay Clancy And The Political Weaponization Of Mentally Ill Women – “It’s not just women’s biological habit of following the dictates of the herd, it’s also their inherent desire for chaos that makes them destructive to society at large. Nearly every civilization from the beginning of recorded history has understood this problem and sought to keep it contained. Only in the modern west in the past century have we abandoned reason for madness. I have said it many times in previous articles and I will repeat it here now: Feminism is by far the most destructive movement in the history of western civilization.” – Brandon Smith

Two Villages – “Right versus Left. Here we go again. I can already hear the knives coming out. Fine. Let’s try something slightly less bloodthirsty this time and look at what each side actually thinks it is doing, rather than the cartoon versions we usually throw at each other. Both sides, if you strip away the slogans and the rage, are trying to build a community. They both want a place that feels like home, a shared identity that holds people together instead of letting them fly apart like shrapnel. They just have completely different ideas about how you get there, and what you’re allowed to keep once you arrive.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

HELP! I’m Being STALKED! – “A deep dive into Flock cameras leads to unexpected places.. Wherever you think this series will end up, I assure you, it’s not what you think, but before we can get to the twists and turns in the story, we have to cover the basics….” – Agent131711.

The nature of avatars and inkblots – “Plumbing the depths of Lake America. being upset at Trump re-naming things is a fascinating ink-blot. Trump is trolling. He’s deliberatly doing this to get a rise out of people. One can find it boorish or petty, but i think his intent is pretty clear: he’s ratcheting up aggression. Renaming geography is a typical act of conquest intended to show that one is taking over. It’s a laying of claim to territory. judea got renamed Palestina, St Petersburg (Petrograd) became Lenningrad, and New Amsterdam got renamed New York. that’s how dominion and regime power work. You can agree or disagree with the move, but that’s the flex and the US is hardly the first nationstate to do such things” – El Gato Malo

Dear Old Don, King of Thieves – “Immediately upon the kidnapping of Mr. and Mrs. Maduro and the “new” US relationship with Delcy Rodriguez, Trump issued Executive Order 14373 “Safeguarding Venezuelan Oil Revenue For The Good Of The American And Venezuelan People.” This order starts with the declaration of a “national emergency” to “threat of attachment or imposition of judicial process” on the Venezuelan funds held in the US Foreign Government Deposit Funds account to be “a threat to the United States.” This executive order is similar to the George W. Bush EO 13303 of May 22, 2003. That order also declares a national emergency, and establishes the Iraq Development Fund,directing all Iraqi oil revenues into a USA Federal Bank account in NYC. This order meshes nicely with the March 20, 2003 EO whereby the US outlines the policy of “Confiscating and Vesting Certain Iraqi Property.” ” – Karen Kwiatkowski  – AS I SAID A FEW DAYS AGO ALL ABOUT THE OIL AS USUAL!!!

Breaking Loose – “Breaking news on the breakup of a mountain and the latest breakout of war” – David Haggith

Mexico Is Growing Because It Still Produces Something – “Mexico’s economy expanded 1.4% in the second quarter, nearly three times the OECD average of 0.5%. That placed it sixth among the economies in the report and marked its strongest quarterly expansion since early 2022. Yet listen to the political discussion in Washington and you would think nothing exists south of the border except cartels and migrants. Politicians can dismiss Mexico all they want, but corporations making investment decisions have to look at costs, transportation, labor, and access to customers.” – Martin Armstrong

Trump says US has entered deal with Venezuela to take control of 65 billion barrels of oil reserves – “Venezuelans are expressing outrage and the oil industry is waiting for details on President Donald Trump’s announcement that Venezuela’s acting president has agreed to give an unnamed U.S. company control of up to 65 billion barrels of the South American country’s oil reserves, at cost.” – Bridget Brown, Michael Warren and Luena Rodriguez-Feo Vilerea

Oh, Canada? – “And now. . . Mark Carney! He’s a beauty. A refined ectoplasmic manifestation of all the Globalist huggermugger working tirelessly to upend Western Civ. He has a weird glow of semi-transparency — not in the sense of revealing any truths, but more like you can partly see through him . . . he’s only half there . . . a ghost in the geopolitical machine. More to the point, Mark Carney has made himself a pain-in-the-ass for President Donald Trump. On the surface, this US / Canada rift appears to be all about trade relations. Naw. It’s about Mark Carney being a tool for merry old England attempting to capture the resource base of northern North America to collateralize what little remains of the UK’s once-sprawling, now sinking, empire. England is not so merry these days. It has somehow managed to issue a fatwa on itself and entered a gruesome process of assisted economic and cultural suicide. You can’t even raise a British flag there anymore without risking weeks in the slammer. The home folks get stabbed and beheaded. It’s all blight, rape, kebabs, and hijabs over there. Not a good look if you still want to be that country you dimly remember.” – James Howard Kunstler

The Next Election May be Our Last – “Donald Trump is determined to subvert the midterms. The Trump White House has put into place a series of mechanisms to fix or invalidate the midterm elections. Congress will not save us. The courts will not save us. Our only hope — should the election be rigged or stolen — is nationwide strikes. Our only hope is to cripple the machinery of commerce and government, although this militancy will be met with savage state repression. Otherwise, we are doomed. There will be no exit. If the measures advocated by the Trump administration are implemented, emergency powers will be invoked to assert unprecedented federal control over voting. Federal agents will seize election materials. They have already seized ballots from previous elections.” – Chris Hedges

New York Declares War on the Amish – “Politicians are coming hard for the country’s most inconvenient control group.” – Jenna McCarthy  – AND PENNSYLVANIA AS WELL!!!

Pennsylvania Is Executing the Most Aggressive State Intervention in Amish Community Life in American History – “For a religious community of roughly 43,000 people in one county, this is unprecedented. No other American religious minority is subject to state-run buggy clinics, in-home vaccination visits, or schoolhouse penetration campaigns.” – Sayer Ji

Trump posts AI videos of key Iranian oil hub ‘being blown to smithereens’ – “The US president shared the clips as American and Iranian forces exchanged strikes for the first time since July” – RT

“Illinois sets US state record for most tornadoes in a year – “While Tornado Alley states have languished this year, tornado numbers are up in the Midwest, with Illinois setting a new national record. Illinois has had 243 preliminary tornado reports so far in 2026, exceeding the counts of any state for a full calendar year, dating back to 1950, according to Storm Prediction Center (SPC) data.” – By Jesse Ferrell

They Backed Russia into the Corner Knowing What Would Happen – “Europe continues to present the war in Ukraine as a sudden Russian aggression, but it was the result of three decades of NATO’s eastward expansion, which the West chose to ignore — until Ukraine became the battlefield.” – Phil Butler

Kevin Warsh’s Jackson Hole Speech Was A Muddled Mess – “More Salad Than Substance” – Peter Nayland Kust

A Hawkish Version of No Forward Guidance – “For a Chair who does not want to give forward guidance, Warsh was very effective in raising the market-implied probability of a Fed rate hike in September.  In his first speech at Jackson Hole, Warsh said that while this summer’s PCE and CPI readings were better than expected, they do not tell him that underlying trends have meaningfully improved” – Philip Marey

The Death of Fiat? BlackRock Is Running for the Exits into Physical Silver – “A 600% Institutional Wave Is Coming for Silver (And BlackRock Is First in Line)” – The Silver Academy

The Mother Of All Mean Reversions: Commodities Have Never Been This Cheap Versus Stocks – “Across Wall Street, from Barclays and UBS to HSBC, JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs, a common view is taking shape: physical scarcity is emerging across multiple commodity classes, driving prices sharply higher and signaling a broader hard-asset squeeze. Last week, UBS strategist Sagar Khandelwal issued a similar call heard across Wall Street, telling clients to “position for a commodity upcycle.”” – Tyler Durden

What They’re Buying Instead – “Central banks have been stepping away from the dollar for twenty-five years. And they’ve been buying something else with both hands. There’s a chart I wanted to share with you this Monday. It shows the dollar’s share of the world’s allocated foreign exchange reserves. In plain English, how much of the money central banks hold in reserve sits in dollars rather than euros, yen or anything else. As you can see, the dollar accounted for 71.5% of those reserves as recently as 2001. By the end of last year that was down to 56.4%, the lowest reading since 1995.” – Lau Vegys

DON’T BUY GOLD (VIDEO) – “What if the assets considered safest today become the greatest source of risk? Gold won’t be useful when these conditions are met: Currencies are stable Inflation is low Governments are running budget surpluses Borrowing is around 25% to 30% of GDP Countries have little debt Fiat money will be the better choice in that case… but we all know that’s not the world today.” – Egon von Greyerz

The Maintenance Window Is Closing – “Late summer and early autumn can create a dangerous sense of security. The furnace is quiet. The woodstove is cold. The snowblower has not moved in months. A small roof leak, loose weatherstrip or reluctant generator does not feel urgent while the temperature remains comfortable. Winter changes the consequences. A draft becomes a constant drain on stored fuel. A blocked downspout becomes an ice problem. A weak battery leaves the generator silent. A damaged stovepipe becomes a fire or carbon-monoxide hazard. A forgotten valve makes it impossible to isolate a frozen pipe.” – denob

Hand Sewing and Mending for Hard Use Clothing – “Basic sewing skills are a life skill. Up until the 1950’s, most families purchased cloth and sewed much of the clothing they needed at home. We owned less clothing but were better dressed, better shod and we maintained our clothing and footwear. Until the last few decades, virtually everyone knew how to sew. We also created far less clothing-related waste.” – Cache Valley Prepper
