THE BIG PICTURE

Mercy To The Wicked, Cruelty To The Righteous – “Actions have consequences. This is both a scientific truth and a moral proposition. We know that if we throw a large stone into a pond there will be waves and ripples. We know that those who commit crimes are subject to sanction by the law. Scientifically, this is both the theory and the reality. Morally, however, all too often it is not. At least, it does not seem to be.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Off the Grid – “When people talk about “getting off the grid,” the image that usually springs to my mind is the full-on pioneer fantasy: selling the house, buying 40 acres in the bush, installing solar panels, drilling a well, raising chickens, and growing enough potatoes to survive the next ice age. I envy those people. Honestly, I do. But let’s be real—most of us aren’t cut out for that level of commitment, and most of us don’t need to be -— yet. At least for a little while, we can probably muddle along semi-attached to the system—still buying groceries at Loblaws, paying the hydro bill to whatever soulless utility now owns it, and calling an ambulance if we get flattened by a Tesla. But after what happened to me this morning—for the umpteenth time—I’ve come to understand “off the grid” in an entirely different, far more urgent way. It no longer means geographical escape. It means digital and bureaucratic escape. It means refusing to let the Machine feed on my time, my sanity, and my personal data one byte at a time.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP  – ANOTHER GOOD ONE FROM TODD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The dancing nurses videos – an update. – “The more you think about these, the darker it all looks. This is especially the case since (it seems to me) many or most of the more elaborate videos look like they were AI-generated. If that was the case, then someone must have commissioned them, paid for their creation, edited them, arranged for their distribution and so on.” – Jonathan Engler.

They’re Hunting Christians Like Animals and You Don’t Even Know It’s Happening If you think the violent persecution of Christians ended in Rome – think again. We crowdfund mission trips that look suspiciously like vacations. We rally around celebrities who face mild criticism for their religious beliefs. But a teenage girl held captive for seven years because she wouldn’t deny Jesus? That barely registers. We scroll past her story to watch cat videos and argue about worship music styles. The comparison should nauseate you. It nauseates me. One Christian Murdered Every Three Hours” – 🐺The Wise Wolf and Lily-Rose Dawson

Trump buys millions in Boeing bonds while awarding it contracts – “He also bought upwards of $5 million in Intel bonds after announcing the US government was buying a 10% stake in the company” – Nick Cleveland-Stout  – HMM, ISN’T THAT KIND OF LIKE INSIDER TRADING. GUESS IT DEPENDS WHO YOU ARE, TRUMP,  PELOSI, POLITICIANS IN GENERAL. THAT’S JUST ONE OF THE REASON THEY ALL ARE RICHER AFTER LEAVING POLITICS. YOU AND I WOULD BE IN JAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I Were the Devil by Paul Harvey – Original 1965 Broadcast (VIDEO) – “In 1965, Mr. Harvey broadcast “If I Were the Devil.” Although it has been over a half a century since the broadcast, Mr. Harvey’s words describe our current times well.” – Brad Dison – LINKED THIS WHEN I FIRST STARTED THIS SITE BACK IN 2016. WAS LINKED ON 08/1916. THE LINK THEN IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. HERE’S A DIFFERENT ONE.  A MUST LISTEN AUDIO FROM 1965. MY COMMENT THEN WAS: “PRETTY WELL SUMS UP WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO AMERICA”!!!!!

The TOP SECRET Plan to Enslave You (REVEALED!!!) – ” What is this plan called, you ask? Where did you find it? Don’t ask such things! We don’t have time for that! All you need to know is that this is a covert, occulted, never-before-seen 10-step plan. And, as you can see, they—who? ugggh! I just told you not to ask questions!—have almost completed its implementation: So, let’s see how this plan is going, shall we?” – James Corbett

Bioterror Roundup: Vaccine Evangelists Go Ape Over Revised CDC Autism Position – “All of which is to say: not only should these people enjoy a large glass of “shut the fuck up” juice, they ought to be grateful they’re not all rotting in prison, which is where they belong, if not under it. Instead, they insist on maintaining the façade of scientific and moral authority when they have none.” – Ben Bartee

President Trump Claims We Need More AI Data Centers to Keep Up with China – “The truth? America already has more data centers than the rest of the world combined. We are not losing the race – we’re lapping the field. [1] [2] Let’s do the math: China has 1.42 billion people USA has 347 million people (China has ~4× more people) USA has 5,426 data centers China has only 449. Simple way to say it: The average American is 50 times more likely to have a data center “nearby” than the average Chinese. President Trump wants even more AI data centers and he wants to Super-Size them into water and electricity guzzling mega monsters. This will make Big Tech and the Federal Government even more powerful and centralized – FASCISM.” – Patti Johnson

 

 

 

NEWS

Trump Begins New Phase of Venezuela Escalations…but Is It Just a Ruse? – “Buried beneath the theater of the Ukraine war’s terminal crescendos, Trump’s administration has quietly tightened the noose around Venezuela. As standard to the neocon Uniparty, this comes only a week or two after DNI Tulsi Gabbard somewhat surreally boasted that this administration heralds the end of “regime change” operations: How absurd can the mounting hypocrisies of the terminally-mad empire get before they runneth over?” – Simplicius

What Is a Lawful Order? And Does Putin “Own” Trump? – “The U.S. is supposed to be a constitutional republic where the law of the land applies equally to all. We are far from that today. We are more of a corporatist-imperialist enterprise in which the “law” of the land is full-spectrum dominance and the unbridled pursuit of profit. In this land, a “lawful” order may indeed be what powerful entities say it is, irrespective of the Constitution and international law. And Trump may know this grim reality better than almost anyone.” – Bill Astore

Why Did She Quit? – “Marjorie Taylor Greene has suddenly decided to leave Congress – just days after being called a “traitor” by the president she supported relentlessly for the past several years. Including the years after the election that was engineered to replace him. She perhaps thought it might do some good to see him re-elected. She has changed her mind – along with probably half (maybe more) of the people who voted for Trump and got something else. Well, who let themselves believe they were going to get something else. Who put out of their minds his atrocious enabling of the pushing of drugs on Americans – which he continues to insist “saved millions of lives.”” – Eric Peters

Marjorie Taylor Greene Resigns from Congress – “The American people have lost a rare voice that spoke for them. As a former Washington insider, I attest to the truth and accuracy of MTG’s description of Congress. Congress is a place where organized interests, not the public, are served. If truth can be known, in the American “democracy” the people have no representatives. Congress represents Israel, the military/security complex, Big Pharma . ” – Paul Craig Roberts – THIS IS THE ARTICLE, IT’S ALL DR. ROBERTS HAD TO SAY AND HE’S RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From the Back Forty: Trump Shows How It’s Done – “Did anyone have Zohran and Donald on their 2025 Bingo card? A Muslim, an expert troll, and a blond walk into a Swamp bar and tell the old guard to back off. In classic new political norms, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has decided to take her whiplash energy and go home; New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has a sit-in with President Trump in the Oval Office; and rumors are circulating that the old Bush dynasty is attempting a party palace coup. What a week it has been in American politics.” – Sarah Cowgill

Trump Man Crushes With New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani At White House, Says ‘I Look Forward To Rooting Out Antisemitism’ – “Trump said, “I can tell you, some of my views have changed” about Mamdani. However, as The WinePress pointed out several weeks ago, Mamdani is far from a Sharia Muslim as he is well-funded and voted for by Jewish groups in the city, along with Alex Soros, the son of Jewish Democratic donor George Soros.” – The WinePress  – WHEN IT COMES TO APPEASING ISRAEL, IT DOESN’T MATTER WHICH PART YOU ARE WITH. THEY’VE GOT BOTH SIDES COVERED!!!!

MAGAQUAKE! Trump demolishes MAGA and in so doing…..the Wrecking Ball-in-Chief has given rise to the America First Movement – “What was entirely predictable about Trump’s MAGA meltdown — WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF HIS SECOND TERM — is that, in light of his much higher priority MIGA agenda, his Khazarian masters and Zionist handlers had no choice but to execute this MAGA controlled demolition post-haste. After all, the MIGA business has got to be conducted according to a very strict biblical timeframe” – An Armchair Political Analyst / State of the Nation

SUDAN Peacebuilding Through US & UK NGO Coups – “Bin Salman asked Trump to stop the war in Sudan. Why? Because it is fueled by our government. Peacebuilding is a racket. It is a coalition of Mafia pundits siphoning $Trillions from western coffers under a fake ideology for the sole purpose of keeping Africa in chaos. While engulfed in said chaos, western nations rape their resources to elevate finances of the Elite/Black Nobility which requires Taxpayer tithes in the realm of 50% to maintain this NGO anarchy tapestry functioning. And Trump is not going to dismantle this NGO because he is a part of it and relies on them for Gaza dismantling. But Trump has now made a contingent promise to Saudi Arabia’s Bin Salman.” – Helena Glass

‘Complete lawlessness’: Critics slam mayor as Loop mob attack and shootings shock Chicago – “Voices across Chicago and the nation expressed alarm on Saturday after two shootings in the Loop following the city’s annual Christmas tree lighting left a 14-year-old boy dead and eight other people, nearly all juveniles, wounded. Officials said officers arrested 18 people and recovered five firearms during what authorities described as widespread mayhem in the downtown area after the ceremony. The reaction from retired Riverside Police Chief Tom Weitzel was scathing as he painted images of “escalating violence” and “complete lawlessness” in Chicago. “Despite claims that crime is being reduced, violent crime is spiraling out of control. The mayor and his team are deflecting instead of protecting. “” – Tim Hecke

Chicago’s Revolving Door Of Doom: 72 PRIOR ARRESTS Revealed For Train Torcher – “Fresh court revelations have ripped the scab off Chicago’s festering wound of criminal coddling. The 50-year-old predator accused of dousing a 26-year-old woman with gasoline and igniting her on a Blue Line train this week had racked up at least 72 prior arrests before this horrifying crime. Why was this monster ever free to stalk the streets?” – Steve Watson

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

I’ll sing myself to sleep
A song from the darkest hour
Secrets I can’t keep
Inside of the day
Swing from high to deep
Extremes of sweet and sour
Hope that God exists
I hope I pray

Drawn by the undertow
My life is out of control
I believe this wave will bear my weight
So let it flow

Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy

Now I’m relieved to hear
That you’ve been to some far out places
It’s hard to carry on
When you feel all alone
Now I’ve swung back down again
It’s worse than it was before
If I hadn’t seen such riches
I could live with being poor
Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy

Those who feel the breath of sadness
Sit down next to me
Those who find they’re touched by madness
Sit down next to me
Those who find themselves ridiculous
Sit down next to me
Love, in fear, in hate, in tears

Down
Down

Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy

Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy

Down

THE BIG PICTURE

This Time They’ve Gone Too Far – “Some people mend at the broken places, or so Hemingway said. Others—many of us—simply limp. We gather whatever tattered remnants remain and weave them into something that passes for a life. Some manage to stitch the holes closed, turning them into gentler memories with time. Others live in the shadows of those memories until the end, not with hope but with patience, not with pain but with a kind of stoic clarity. We don’t all get to choose which kind we become. And something I saw recently—something monstrous—dragged that day back to me. It was an advertisement for a new AI app. One that lets you “bring back” your dead loved ones .Some boundaries exist for good reason. Monstrous idiots building utopias must be stopped. Now.” – Sylvia Shawcross  – ABSOLUTE MUST READ FROM SYLVIA. IF THIS DOESN’T SHOW THE DANGERS OF AI THEN NOTHING WILL!!!!!!!!!

Is Global Technocracy Inevitable Or Dangerously Delusional? – “The bewildering truth behind human technological enslavement is that it is impossible without the voluntary participation of the intended slaves. People must welcome technocracy into their lives in order for it to succeed. The populace has to believe, blindly, that they cannot live without it, or that authoritarianism by algorithmic consensus is “inevitable.” For example, the average person living in a first world economy voluntarily carries a cell phone everywhere they go at all times without fail. To be without it, in their minds, is to be naked, at risk, unprepared and disconnected from civilization. I grew up in the 1980s and we did just fine without having a phone on our hip every moment of the day. Even now, I refuse to carry one.” – Brandon Smith

There is no way there is going to be a wealth transfer without an act of God. . .. you are never going to see silver to explode over $50 to $70, $80, $100, $200, $600 (an ounce) without an act of God. If that would happen, it would mean the globalists have lost control. It means the globalists are losing their money.

The Improbability of Trump’s Third Term – “Jon Stewart joked Trump “already has the merch,” referring to a red “Trump 2028” cap. Steve Bannon keeps teasing “a plan” to keep Trump in office. Russian dissident Gary Kasparov warns of democracy’s demise. It’s a perfect storm of satire, conspiracy, and clickbait, but none of it adds up to a third term for Donald Trump. It gets worse. So is it becoming increasingly clear that Trump has no intention of ever leaving the White House? As Jon Stewart said, you don’t build a new extension on your home if you intend to move soon, right? Who knows what goes through Trump’s mind when he thinks of 2028, but we do know there is no way he is going to run for a third term. Three things make a genuine third-term bid for Trump impossible:” – Peter Van Buren

Which Hollywood Movies Guide US Policy? – “Notwithstanding the strange predictive power of South Park, Hollywood is most honest and true with its investment in gore, torture porn, and zombies. No doubt what Americans watch on screen – the normalization of pointless violence – has been played out 100% in US foreign policy during the same era. Horror and insanity drive the fundamentals of the US Department of War, as well as the fundamentals of the Federal Reserve. The capos of the American government hold out Trump’s various “peace” agreements like a Hollywood franchise, counting the sequels, audiences briefly – if at all – reflecting on the fear, the expense, the gore, the nihilism.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

The Corner Trump Has Painted Himself Into – “Trump is in trouble because he’s Trump. It is what Trump does. The interesting thing is whether he does it on purpose. A prior example being his apparent unwillingness to do anything he could have to prevent the selection of Joe Biden as his replacement back in 2020. Does anyone remember the 80 million votes for Biden and where did they disappear to by 2024? Why didn’t Trump end the “emergency” he had the power to end when it was obvious the “emergency” was fake and gay – so as to end the mass absentee balloting that enabled those millions of extra “votes” to be tallied for Joe Biden? Why did he just stand there like a spray tanned wooden Indian for most of 2020, while Dr. Fauci and the Scarf Lady assumed the presidency? Now we have this sordid Epstein business.” – Eric Peters

‘Dadgum’: Tim Burchett Reveals a Far More Appropriate Nickname for ‘the Swamp’ – “Republican Rep. Tim Burchett (TN-02) said calling D.C. “the Swamp” is not accurate because that would mean that it’s useful to its inhabitants, and a more appropriate term would be the “sewer.” “This is a fist fight, folks,” Burchett said. “I mean, everybody talks about this place being a dadgum swamp. It’s not a swamp. A swamp is something cool God created. It filters water, animal life lives and flourishes around it.” “[Washington, D.C.] is a sewer. This is created by man, [and] it needs to stop,” he added. “For years Congress has been using hard-working taxpayers’ money to get rich, Dadgum, it’s got to stop. America knows what the heck is going on.” Burchett said this isn’t even about Democratic Representative Nancy Pelosi (CA-12) and her well-known, miraculous stock trading moves that have made her monstrously rich. The congressman. said she’s just part of a much larger problem, saying she’s “not even in the top ten.””- Katie Jerkovich

It’s short-term uncertainty for gold, but it’s all part of fiat’s road to ruin. Gold and silver marked time this week, coming up to the end of month push for lower prices on Comex.

On October 29th the Fed quietly announced they’re ending the main program fighting inflation, called Quantitative Tightening or QT. This matters because QT — which involves selling trillions in Fed assets and cancelling the dollars — was the main tool the Fed was using to keep a lid on inflation. Now it’s over. Meaning the Fed’s about to return to its traditional purpose: Creating inflation.” – Peter St Onge

How did these mountain men master an environment that so often defeats us? They understood that survival wasn’t about gear, but about knowledge. They knew cold was a predator that attacked in four ways: conduction, convection, radiation, and evaporation. And they developed a sophisticated system to defeat every single one.” – Wild America

THE BIG PICTURE

The Real Enemy of the U.S. and the World Is the U.S. Empire: Not Russia, China, North Korea, or Iran – “The real enemy of every American citizen (and all others) is the ruling master class (often referred to as the “Deep State”) and all its political pawns and enforcers in the U.S. government. The planted (selected) head pawn at this time is the evil narcissist Trump, but the next puppet will likely be even worse, if one can imagine that, because that is what history tells us. The U.S. is currently the most brutal empire that has ever existed, if one considers all those hundreds of millions harmed, slaughtered, and murdered in war, through regime change, through military aggression, due to economic interference and tariffs, due to sanctions, due to fully funded proxy wars and genocide, and due to attempted control of most every country on earth. As far as American citizens are concerned, they are horribly abused at the hands of government in multiple ways, not the least of which is the fact that there are more arbitrary laws, regulations, restrictions, debt, theft, and incarceration for victimless ‘crimes’ than anywhere else on earth.” – Gary D. Barnett

Algorithmic Pricing and the American Social Credit Score (VIDEO) – “”The government doesn’t need to mandate biometric ID, which would most likely be considered a violation of American rights, and so it outsources the mandate to private companies, who are legally required to get consent, while the government is free to collect and utilize this data under legal immunity. Just like the COVID era, you will be free to give consent, but if you choose not to, you will have to leave the Reservation and find a way to fend for yourself – Greg Reese

The Abortion Genocide – “The Altar Still Runs Red… Every 73 seconds an American baby is ripped apart in the womb. Since Roe fell, the killing didn’t slow; it just moved to blue states and mail-order pills. 63+ million dead. A mountain of tiny skulls higher than Everest. And the American church? Still writing checks. Still clapping for “complex issues.” Still too terrified of the IRS to call abortion what it is: the longest-running child sacrifice in human history. This is not pro-life vs. pro-choice. This is Molech vs. the Lamb.” – Doc Holliday

Children of the corn – “The aim [of COP30 Youth-Centric Panels] is to expose children to the climate-justice worldview before they have the emotional maturity, economic literacy, or scientific grounding to question it — or even properly understand the conversation. As a result of thirty years of “Youth-Centric” outreach, we have created a real-life version of Stephen King’s, “Children of the Corn”, a story about a children-led agrarian theocracy gone wrong. We have world leaders applauding exuberantly as Greta Thunberg scolds them for robbing her generation of a future. The only thing missing from her disturbing performance was a leather corset, boots, and riding whip. Children are choreographed to march and shout in unison, straight out of central casting, acting their part in this cultural revolution. They are pawns in an adult game.” – Bill Ponton

Rothschild-Affiliated “The Economist” Magazine Publishes 2026 Predictions That Forecast More War And Bond Market Collapse, As Tesla AI Chief Says ‘2026 Will Be The Hardest Year Of Your Life’ – “The Economist infamously subtly foretells future events with its art covers, and the latest one is no different – war (lots of it), a bond crisis, a fractured U.S., AI purge, and bread & circuses.” – The WinePress

Massacre of the Ostriches: How the Daily Mail Helped Normalize the Unthinkable , And Why It Matters for the Whole World – “This is why breaking down propaganda is not academic, it is a survival skill.

Where Does the CDC’s Dishonesty Come From? – “Is a new era at last is dawning at the CDC? Yesterday, a rather unexpected change happened at the CDC. The revised CDC page then highlights the key point “Vaccines do not cause autism” is not an evidence-based claim. Scientific studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines contribute to the development of autism. However, this statement has historically been disseminated by the CDC and other federal health agencies within HHS to prevent vaccine hesitancy.” – A Midwestern Doctor  – SO FINALLY THE CDC IS NOT RULING OUT THAT VACCINES COULD CAUSE AUTISM, WHEREAS BEFORE, THEY SAID IT WASN’T PROVED THAT IT COULD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If MAGA Proves Anything, It Proves Liberals Are Not The Only Ones Who Do Not Know Or Appreciate Our Constitution And Bill Of Rights – “In blind support of Donald Trump, MAGA conservatives have proven that all of their rhetoric criticizing Joe Biden’s unconstitutional assaults against the freedom of speech (and other constitutionally protected liberties) was as hollow as an empty well. Ever since Trump was inaugurated, the attacks against freedom of speech in America have only intensified. The only difference is the target of those attacks. When Democrats are in the White House, liberals want to censor the freedom of speech of conservatives; and when Republicans are in the White House, conservatives want to censor the freedom of speech of liberals. Neither political group has the slightest respect for the fundamental freedoms (of ALL Americans) that are protected in our Constitution and Bill of Rights. And, of course, it’s not just freedom of speech.” – Chuck Baldwin

Blue States Busted for Blowing Nearly Half a Billion in SNAP Cash on Fast Food – “When the Food Stamps Act was first passed in 1964, it was intended to be a temporary help for financially needy Americans as they worked to get back on their feet. Recipients were limited to purchasing only fruits, vegetables, and meats, and the goal was for them to prepare their meals at home. Fast food and ready meals were not an option. Well, that train derailed a long time ago, and, according to Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA), taxpayers now foot the bill for hundreds of millions of dollars worth of fast food meals purchased with SNAP benefits. And most of this is happening, naturally, in blue states. “The ‘N’ in SNAP stands for nutrition not nuggets with a side of fries,” Ernst told Fox News. “I wish I was McRibbing you but $250 million per year at the drive-through is no joke and a serious waste of tax dollars. I hate to be the one to say McSCUSE ME, but something needs to be done because taxpayers are not lovin’ it.”” – Teri Christoph

Polish railway ‘sabotage’ runs on time for Europe’s military Schengen plan – “The European Commission is proposing to make the European Union of 27 nations a seamless territory for NATO transport across national borders. The concept is to create a “military Schengen” in analogy to the free movement of civilians across the bloc. The controversial idea is strongly advocated by pro-NATO European leaders. The proxy war in Ukraine against Russia and the escalating tensions of a wider war have helped push the sweeping militarization of the EU as a single bloc. This week, as the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen makes her pitch for an EU-wide military Schengen zone, there were suspicious sabotage attacks on Poland’s railway network. The idea for a military Schengen-type arrangement for the EU has been around for several years, but there has been resistance from nations giving up control of their borders. The last time Von der Leyen’s German compatriots did that by marching across Europe did not go down too well.” – Finian Cunningham

A Simulacrum of Dissent – “Why not have ChatGPT write a CJ Hopkins–style column for me, as me, about me using ChatGPT to write a CJ Hopkins–style column?  So I typed in the prompt. I hit enter. And then I sat back, waiting for the machine to produce a pitch-perfect imitation of my sardonic, grumpy, coffee-fueled tirades about the metastasizing technocratic panopticon we now call “normal life.” And dear reader, the machine did not disappoint.  It mimicked the tone, the cadence, the rhetorical flourishes, even the little parenthetical asides I sprinkle in to remind everyone I’m not entirely insane — just “sanity-adjacent.” But something was off. There was no menace. No whiff of cigarette smoke curling up from the edge of the page. No faint smell of the moldy basement office in which real writers actually write their subversive prose. Just a sterile, well-behaved, corporately-approved simulacrum of dissent — a kind of ideological tofu shaped like me but lacking any flavor. It was like reading a censored transcript of myself in a future show trial. And the worst part? It was… good. If the machine can imitate me imitating the machine imitating me, what exactly is left of “me”? This is how it happens, I thought. Not with boot-stomping brutality, but with an AI politely offering to auto-complete your revolution.” – CJ Hopkins

ChatGPT Revealed: The Techno-Satanic Plan for a Godless Future – “Silicon Valley’s Quest to Build What Cannot See, Hear, or Walk. The 39-year-old CEO of OpenAI sat down with Tucker Carlson recently and delivered a masterclass in evasion that would make any high-dollar defense attorney proud. Every pause calculated. Every word weighed. Every answer hedged with qualifications and escape routes. When asked directly about his spiritual views, Altman identifies as Jewish but immediately retreats from any literalist interpretation of scripture. He believes in “something bigger” beyond physics but admits he’s never felt communication from any higher power. No burning bush moment. No divine mandate. No prophetic vision justifying what he’s unleashing on humanity.” – Lily-Rose Dawson

The question is whether British citizens have become so passive and yielding that they will support their government, keeping them from learning the facts about vaccines and allowing them to reach their own conclusions. The UK has long embraced speech controls and censorship to protect citizens from unacceptable views or what one criminal defendant was told were “toxic ideologies.”” – Jonathan Turley

DEVASTATING: Fully Vaccinated Surgeon Dies Suddenly Weeks After Losing 15-Year-Old Daughter to Turbo Cancer – “Dr. Singh, a 41 y/o breast cancer surgeon, died suddenly on November 5, 2025—just weeks after her 15 y/o daughter Haley passed away from an incredibly aggressive case of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. In an age where sudden deaths and lightning-fast turbo cancers are increasingly part of the public conversation, many are wondering how two seemingly inexplicable deaths could strike the same heavily vaccinated family within a single month. Frontline physicians stay fully up-to-date, often receiving every available booster as part of the institutional norm, and many assume the same medical path is safe for their children. In any other era, two sudden and unexplained deaths in the same family would spark a thorough forensic investigation. Today, even suggesting that seems taboo. ” – Baxter Dmitry via Lioness of Judah

The why begs some awful questions. Bongino was a scrapper. He was famous among conservatives, at least, for all the Biden Years – hammering away at whatever the latest outrage was. When he was appointed by Trump to high office, most of the people who voted for Trump were delighted. They assumed it heralded an accountability moment. At last! People – bad people – were going to be held responsible for the bad things they’d done. One especially bad person being Jeff Epstein,” – Eric Peters

Let’s review the presidential timeline of consistency: January: “Open the files.”  March: “The files don’t exist.”  June: “They exist but they’re a Democrat hoax.”  September: “The public can’t handle them.”  October: “I’ve read them.

Out of Money? Idi Amin Had a Simple Fix – “Idi Amin (1923-2003) was one of the most ruthless and oppressive dictators of the 20th Century. While Western media often mocked Amin, who ruled Uganda from 1971 to 1979, as a self-aggrandizing buffoon, they tended to overlook the atrocities he inflicted on his people. He murdered an estimated 300,000 Ugandans, many of them in brutal fashion. While historians and journalists have tended to focus on Amin’s dismal record on human rights, his economic policies are atrocities in their own right and also deserve attention. It’s easy to mock politicians like Amin and Maduro who saw printing money as a viable solution to their floundering economies. But before doing so, Americans should take a careful look at some of the spending and monetary trends in their own economy. If they don’t, they may one day find themselves in familiar straits.” – Jon Miltimore

Home Depot cuts earnings outlook as home improvement demand falls short of expectations – “Home Depot fell short of third-quarter earnings estimates, its third straight miss, and cut its full-year profit outlook. The company said slow consumer spending and a weaker housing market have made home improvement demand worse than it expected.” – Melissa Repko

Navigating the curve – The allure and risks of long-dated US Treasuries – “Compared to a year ago, the US Treasury curve has steepened considerably. While yields at the front end have dropped due to anticipated rate cuts, the long end of the curve has not budged. In fact, long-end bonds have sold off, giving bond investors the opportunity to lock in elevated yields. Running fiscal deficits when yields are high and debt-to-GDP levels are elevated can be risky business. The US is currently doing just that which explains why the bond market has revalued the compensation it demands for owning long-dated US Treasuries.” – Mario Eisenegger

A Tsunami of Liquidity is Coming in 2026 – “In the very simplest of terms, the cost of money/ credit in the financial system is dropping rapidly. And this is happening at the same time that central banks AND governments are flooding the financial system with new money. Both the Bank of Canada and the Fed have ended or will end their Quantitative Tightening (QT) programs soon. Both banks will launch QE (the process of printing new money and using it to buy assets) soon after. The ECB, BoE and SNB aren’t far behind on this either. One whiff of asset price deflation and they’ll all be printing money too. So again, a tsunami of liquidity is coming to the financial system.” – Graham Summers, MBA

What’s Next for Silver Prices? – “After making new all-time intraday highs last week, there are all sorts of prognostications regarding what’s next for the silver price. Let’s discuss the most likely scenario today. First and foremost, we need to establish that this time IS different. In short, the situation in silver is not analogous to price action from decades ago. Instead, the most likely scenario going forward is a path similar to the one taken by gold in early 2024. The gold price has doubled since it broke out in March of 2024, and a similar move in silver will take price to $100/ounce by mid-late 2027. ” – Craig hemke

Dramatic Year for Silver: Market On Pace for Fifth Straight Supply Shortfall – “The recent silver squeeze that pushed the silver price to a record high was partly due to a displacement of metal. There was too much silver in New York and not enough in London and India. However, the situation underscored a more fundamental problem in the silver market. There isn’t enough metal being produced to meet demand.” – Mike Maharrey

Livestock Guardian Dogs: The Silent Protectors Every Homestead Needs – “Livestock guardian dogs have been part of traditional farming for thousands of years, and for good reason. Long before modern fencing, alarms, or surveillance existed, a well-trained guardian dog was the only line of defense between a shepherd’s animals and the wild world beyond the pasture. Today, as predators return to rural areas and homesteads face growing vulnerability, these dogs remain one of the simplest, most natural, and most reliable forms of protection available. Their instincts do not weaken in a blackout, their reliability does not falter in a storm, and their loyalty does not depend on modern systems. That alone makes them invaluable to anyone striving for true self-sufficiency. What Makes a Guardian Dog Different?” – Self-Sufficient Projects Staff

How to Bug Out Before The Traffic Jams – “The goal here is to beat the traffic jams and get ahead of the chaos. If you follow the steps below, you’ll dramatically increase your odds of bugging out quickly and safely while the unprepared are still running errands, wondering what’s going on. Here are 10 tips to help you bug out fast.” – Brian Lassitter

DIY Cold Cellars for Hot Climates – “If you read old homesteading manuals, you’ll notice they make root cellars sound simple. Dig a hole, maybe add some timber framing, stock it with potatoes and carrots, and you’ve got cold storage covered. But people fail to realize that those instructions were written for people in Vermont and Michigan, places where the ground naturally stays cool and winter temperatures plunge below freezing for months. Try that approach in Arizona, Texas, or Southern California, and you’ll end up with a warm cave.” – Bob Rodgers

15 Best Foods for Root Cellars – “Root cellars are one of the best ways to store food, whether you’re a prepper or a homesteader. One of the reasons they’re so great is that they’re able to keep a pretty constant temperature year-round.” – Heidi Hawthorn  – FOR MORE ARTICLES ON OR ABOUT ROOT CELLARS BESIDES THE TWO TODAY, JUST SEARCH ROOT CELLARS OR CELLARS IN THE SITE’S SEARCH BAR!!!

THE BIG PICTURE

Simply This: Do Good And Not Evil – “Put simply, we should be discerning ways to live better lives in closer communion with God. We should not be elevating our own egos, claiming authority we do not possess, and thus putting distance between ourselves and God. Put even more simply, we should focus on doing good and not evil. That must always be the priority, not the rationalizations we mold into various religious doctrines.” – Peter Nayland Kust

It is not different this time – “I will never forgive the mainstream media. Their job to hold the government accountable went out the window when the government became their greatest source of revenue. They betrayed us all and continue to do so. Why don’t people see that Trump/Carney are two sides of the same coin? One can tend to Fascism and the other Communism. Both potentially extreme. Both can be totalitarian in nature. Both the left and the right moderates don’t need to be extreme to feel the fear. That is the motive behind it all. It divides. And a people divided will be hopelessly overwhelmed. Those who dismiss this possible reality of totalitarians left or right are seriously naive. Away goes the middle class. Away goes the lower class. Out of work. Taxed beyond capacity. Losing assets. Wholly dependant on the state. Does it sound familiar? It’s all about control. In comes the oligarchs and their cronies who were there all along. When all is said and done here in Canada and other nations, the people will be impoverished while the elite class will walk away with lots of money and resources. They will have taken it all. Profited from it. From the people. They delight in war. Wars make money. That’s just truth. That’s their bottom-line morality. When the oligarchs aren’t taking money they’re making it through war. ” – Sylvia Shawcross  – EXCELLENT ARTICLE FROM SYLVIA!!!!!!!!!!!

Claim that somehow the US government is spraying poison on the population. Those people are clearly crazy. Wikipedia calls them crazy. Every news outlet calls them crazy.

Red flags are everywhere. None of what is being reported makes any sense to me, the contradiction is glaring, and the fact that multiple communication systems were incapacitated over hundreds of miles for most every communication company is just plain crazy.

New hat, same nonsense. MAGA is melting down. President Donald Trump’s core base is irate as the man continues to contradict every campaign promise and only prioritize his and his buddies’ interests, and his blatant obeisance to Israel, among other things.” – The WinePress

Trump Against Venezuela: Recolonizing the America – “The Point of the Spear: Operation Southern Spear and the Recolonization of the Americas For years, the United States has moved like a desperate empire stumbling toward a familiar refuge. It threatened Panama over the Canal. It escalated sanctions on Cuba. It promised to unleash a “war on narco-terrorists” in Mexico. It bled Argentina through financial coercion. It sharpened its attacks on Venezuela. It even renamed the Gulf of Mexico as if a cartographic tantrum could rewrite geography itself. To most observers, these were disconnected episodes of bluster and bullying—another round of Trumpist excess, a string of chaotic impulses. But there was always a pattern beneath the noise, a deliberate architecture taking shape in slow, brutal strokes. And with the announcement of Operation Southern Spear, that architecture finally reveals itself in the open.” – Eric Zuesse

Big Daddy Trump Hustling While Triggering Massive War – “While Trump humbly boasts about what a great dad he was because he said no to drugs and alcohol, it appears the Coup Makers are intending a massive strike inside Venezuela. The ‘peacemaker’ is angling to once again bomb a sovereign country because Israel was unable to install their proxy, Maria Machado and the pariah state of Israel needs to manufacture new allies from which to extort aide and resources. Unfortunately, China envisions other ideas concerning its zero-tariff trade partner and has no intention of simply allowing the American Israeli War machine to decimate their partner. China has an inherent interest in that it has loaned Venezuela a significant amount of money in exchange for oil deliveries. But there is another catch – Venezuela has rare earth minerals.” – Helena Glass

This number stood out to me because President Biden let in at least 10 million illegal aliens, and I thought there were more than 10 million in the U.S. before President Biden was elected. My radar went on full alert. So I did some research. I have to call BS on the 10 million number they are using. There are at least 22 million illegals,” – Maker S. Mark

In other words, the Taliban have somehow or other succeeded in doing what NATO was unable to do in two decades of de facto occupation: decimate Afghanistan’s share of the global heroin trade. So, what happened in 2001, you ask? The Taliban happened, of course! Or, more specifically, in July 2000 Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar issued a fatwa declaring the cultivation or trafficking of poppies to be “haram” (forbidden under Islamic law). And what happened after 2001, where the chart shows a steady increase in opium poppy cultivation in Afghanistan? The US-led NATO invasion happened, that’s what!” – James Corbett  – THAT BASICALLY SHOWS WHAT THE AFGHAN WAR WAS ALL ABOUT, IT WASN’T WMDs, IT WAS TO KEEP THE HEROIN TRADE GOING!!!!!!!

In 1913, President Wilson, the leader and fiduciary for all US citizens, granted this private bank the power to create as many of those dollars as it wanted. That’s what the Fed does.

Bullet Drop: It’s About Time, – “When we talk about battle rifles there are some things that we just “know”. For example, when comparing running a 5.56 vs. a .308 as our battle rifle, we “know” that: A 5.56 has lower recoil and is therefore quicker to get back on target That’s important because it takes multiple shots to guarantee the threat is neutralized Inside the range of “normal” engagements, a 5.56 lets you hit more often, more quickly, and with enough kinetic energy to neutralize a threat effectively. Beyond a “normal engagement range” where we switch to long-range shooting, the .308 is more accurate and has better kinetic energy on the target What we’re saying, in short, is that 5.56 performs better at short range and .308 better at longer range. Let’s illustrate that with an example where we take a 5.56 and a .308 and zero them at 200 yards” – Mr. Wobbet

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

Whiskey bottles, and brand new cars
Oak tree you’re in my way
There’s too much coke and too much smoke
Look what’s going on inside you
Ooooh that smell
Can’t you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you

Angel of darkness is upon you
Stuck a needle in your arm
So take another toke, have a blow for your nose
One more drink fool, will drown you
Ooooh that smell
Can’t you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you

Now they call you Prince Charming
Can’t speak a word when you’re full of ‘ludes
Say you’ll be all right come tomorrow
But tomorrow might not be here for you
Ooooh that smell
Can’t you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you

Hey, you’re a fool you
Stick them needles in your arm
I know I been there before

One little problem that confronts you
Got a monkey on your back
Just one more fix, Lord might do the trick
One hell of a price for you to get your kicks
Ooooh that smell
Can’t you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you
Ooooh that smell
Can’t you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you

He has three years left on his second term and the fiscal problems he’s dealing with were created through decades of government and central bank mismanagement (or deliberate sabotage). Even if Trump had two more terms it would be difficult, and I’m setting aside the fact that the political left DOES NOT WANT the economy to be fixed and will do everything in their power to keep instability in place.

Can Water Expire? – “If you want a quick answer, here it is: no, water does not expire. But if you think that means your emergency stash is always safe to drink, you are one bad blackout away from learning the hard way. Water is eternal. Containers are not.” – Ask A Prepper Staff

THE BIG PICTURE

What The End of The Penny Portends – “Have you heard that they’re no longer going to make new pennies? They stopped making them out of copper years ago. That was when a penny was still worth something. The most recent pennies are made of zinc and essentially worthless. Except insofar as making change. That’s important, if you like cash transactions. Think about that. Without pennies – once the existing supply disappears or even just becomes scarce – it will be harder if not possible to make change and that will mean pushing people to make electronic rather than cash payments. It will become inconvenient to use cash. And then we will be sold on convenience which will take the form of cashless. Nothing the government does – more finely, the entities that control it do – occurs without intentionality. There is a purpose to pulling the penny. It is to pull us into electronic money, the capstone of the tyranny pyramid. Cash is the last thing standing in the way of them controlling everything’ – Eric Peters

COVID Lockdown Model for Digital ID Deployment (VIDEO) – “Looking back it is quite clear, the COVID lockdowns provided an opportunity to beta test digital ID compliance through private company mandates, and helped normalize the use of QR scans and facial pics for entry into private businesses. And it proved to be a success. Now we are seeing the same techniques being used with the roll-out of the Digital ID.” – Greg Reese

The OPTICS of Money & The Cartel Banking System – “The OPTICS of Money: I watched an amazing documentary on the system called ‘banking’. Like the 50 year mortgage Trump is posturing on behalf of the Bankers, debt, money printing, deficits and bonds have always been the planned strategy. This cycle is what enriches the Banking Cartel through no relief, no reduction, no paydown. The purpose is for debt to be on an ever increasing circular as a guarantee of ever increasing profits and an ever decreasing level of living for the peasants.” – Helena Glass

IT’S GONNA GET UGLY—REAL UGLY…AND BY HIGHLY PURPOSEFUL DESIGN – “It does not get more important (and ominous) than a certain metric known as the Yield Curve Inversion where it concerns the accurate prediction of all the major stock market crashes, cataclysmic economic depressions and most severe recessions.” – T. Anthony Michael / State of the Nation

Sen. Rand Paul Demands U.S. Intelligence Records on Fauci, Baric and COVID Origins – “Sen. Rand Paul is asking U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard to release communications between the U.S. intelligence Community, and virologist Ralph Baric, Ph.D., Dr. Anthony Fauci and other public health officials. Paul said the documents show virologists privately acknowledged a possible lab leak while publicly claiming the virus arose naturally. ” – Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D.

Fungi Funk – “Now, here’s the good news: with the price of groceries continuing to go up it will only take 2 to 3 months before people resort to cannibalism. Okay…. Maybe that wasn’t good news. And the biggest regret we may ever have is that we didn’t regulate artificial intelligence before it existed. That and the fact that we’re producing too many computer engineers who are bored and have to frig around with “everything” and mess up things that were perfectly adequate to begin with forcing all of us to be in a constant state of change we don’t need or want. Yes, they’re intelligent: eccentric science-type people can get mushrooms to play on little miniature pianos now. I kid you not. Go look. ” – Sylvia Shawcross

NEWS

“Our Democracy” (I’m Sure) – “By now, whenever you hear anyone invoke the phrase “saving our democracy,” that should be a signal that they are intent on destroying this republic, and with that, your natural rights to free speech, economic liberty, and public order. For those who can’t quite wrap their minds around this game, a color revolution is the surreptitious overthrow of an elected government by concealed parties. Neocons in the US State Department developed the practice of color revolution on many countries over the years. Mr. Obama added a layer of gnostic Marxists to the personnel mix at State, and these wannabe revolutionaries built a fantastic matrix of NGOs outside State to marshal the useful idiots with jobs and salaries. The NGOs, in turn, were connected to international moneybags, with strange agendas of their own such as the megalomanic climate change crusader Bill Gates and George Soros’s Open Society Foundation,” – James Howard Kunstler

Breaking the Pentagon – “As it actively seeks war in the Pacific, the Caribbean, the Arctic, the North Atlantic, with an energized expansion in the Middle East, the Pentagon brings to mind not American security, but rapid metastasis. The tasks of the Pentagon are threefold: To expand and maintain markets for the dollar; to subsidize risk and eliminate competition for favored US industries; and to serve as a mechanism for government payment transfers to the citizens in all 435 congressional districts.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

America 2.0- No Country for White Men – “Slouching towards extinction. The title of this article may seem puzzling. After all, aren’t we still being misruled by mostly White men? That’s undeniably true, but for the vast majority of White men in this country today, especially those under forty, life is no picnic. We all know that nice guys finish last. Nice White guys finish the lastest of all. Rock bottom. You’d think that with an old fashioned alpha White male, one of a dying breed, as the leader of the no longer free world, all the White guys would have better opportunities. Isn’t Donald Trump the biggest racist the world has ever seen? Isn’t he the only “White Supremacist” in history who never mentions the word “White?” Trump recently reiterated that we need more foreign visa workers, because we don’t have the domestic “talent” we need. He’s talking about Whites, and particularly White males.” – Donald Jeffries

Food Stamps and the Federal War on Self-Reliance – “Why did food stamps become so expensive? Government surveys in the 1960s showed that most of the poor did not need federal aid to have an adequate diet. But it was politically profitable to pretend that low-income Americans were helpless by definition. To further that goal, Washington launched a war on self-reliance. Even though food stamp enrollment quadrupled between 1968 and 1971, Congress mandated an outreach program for states to recruit more recipients. A USDA magazine reported in 1972 that food stamp workers could often overcome people’s pride by saying, “‘This is for your children’. . .the problem is not with welfare recipients but with low-income workers” – James Bovard

Trump Demeans US Office of the Presidency in order to Serve Netanyahu – “Last Wednesday President Trump pressured Israel’s President Isaac Herzog to pardon Netanyahu before his corruption trial is over. The trial has been off and on as Netanyahu’s wars heat up and cool down. Trump’s pressure on Herzog, little doubt at Netanyahu’s request, indicates that Trump and Netanyahu do not expect trial to exonerate Netanyahu.” – Paul Craig Roberts

The Media Focus On Epstein’s Ties To Trump And Ignore His Ties To Israel – “The way the press have been covering Jeffrey Epstein’s ties to Trump while completely ignoring far more significant revelations of Epstein’s ties to Israeli intelligence is such a perfect example of how western media ignore anything that doesn’t fit neatly into the two-party worldview.” – Caitlin Johnstone

20,000 More Emails from Epstein Released by Congress Testify to Trump’s Participation in the Epstein Child Trafficking Blackmail Operations – “After the Democrats on the House Oversight Committee published three emails from the Jeffrey Epstein estate yesterday showing how President Trump was part of Epstein’s child sex trafficking enterprise, Trump and his supporters called “foul” claiming that the Democrats had “cherry picked” just a few emails to try and deceive the public. So the Republicans on the House Oversight Committee proceeded to publish all 20,000 pages of emails from the Epstein estate. Perhaps this was the Democrats’ plan all along?” – Brian Shilhavy

Ursula von der Leyen Wants More Money – “Von der Leyen once again illustrated Brussels’ unshakable faith that a state-planned green pseudo-economy represents the final exit from the accelerating economic crisis of our age. By 2030, she wants to triple the global share of renewables and double energy efficiency.” – Thomas Kolbe

Heavenly Jerusalem: Turning Ukraine into a New Israel (VIDEO) – “Heavenly Jerusalem (also New Jerusalem, Israel 2.0, New Israel) is a project whose goal is to form a Jewish state within Ukraine on the territories of its 5 southern regions: Odessa, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporozhye, Kherson and Mykolaiv. Is the Greater Israel project at play behind the Russo-Ukraine War?” – Makia Freeman

U.S. business-as-usual as Trump bombs the poorest country on Earth – “Warmongering Trump is shaping up the American capitalist business-as-usual to be even more criminal and out of control. Hardly reported in the Western media is the blitzkrieg being conducted by the Trump administration on Somalia, the easternmost country on the African continent, and one of the world’s poorest.” – Finian Cunningham

SecWar Pete Hegseth Announces ‘Operation Southern Spear’ As US Carrier Strike Group Enters the Caribbean – “Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced Thursday the inauguration of Operation Souther Spear.

Justice Department Office Which Justified Torture Now Argues For Killing – “In 2003 the U.S. Justice Department’s Office of Legal Council (OLC) issued a memo which declared the use of torture in ‘authorized military interrogations’ as legal when done under the ‘president’s constitutional authority to direct a war’. The memo was widely condemned. The Obama administration withdrew it but refrained from prosecuting the torturers which had used it as cover. The Trump administration now issued a comparable OLC memo to justify its wanton killing of alleged drug smugglers at sea.” – Moon of Alabama

Talking sense on housing affordability – “Separating myth from reality and finance from feelings Everyone seems up in arms about housing of late and the ratio of vitriol to sense is getting to Covidian levels. Zoomers and boomers are yelling at one another and both seem to be making up some of their facts. At the risk of trying to inject some facts into the current food fight BDA “the housing discussion” let’s look at some data. The last 4 years have seen a big spike in housing unaffordability. but many of the claims this is being used to support are just plain fantasy.” – El Gato Malo  – GOOD POINTS FROM EL GATO!!!

This Was A Major Red Flag In 2008, And Now It Is Happening Again! – Michael Snyder

Breaking Burry – “Totally perverse unnatural massive market distortions: 1, Michael Burry: 0. One major headline today is that Michael Burry, of The Big Short fame, is shuttering his fund, Scion Capital. In his letter calling it quits, he wrote: “Sometimes, we see bubbles. Sometimes, there is something to do about it. Sometimes, the only winning move is not to play.” I’ve been around markets long enough to believe that short sellers are generally more objectively right than most investors. ” – Quoth the Raven

Supply squeeze continues – “It’s now China’s vaults running short on gold and silver. But European ETF profit-taking is providing some minor supply, giving the London market temporary relief.” – Alasdair Macleod

Ash + Meat – “When you first hear it, it doesn’t seem to make sense. People for centuries have successfully preserved meat in wood ashes. It seems to contradict everything we know about how we want our food. It goes way beyond the 5-second rule but can effectively preserve meat for weeks up to months depending on local temperatures and storage.” – Steve Nubie

The #1 Item to Scavenge from Supermarkets When SHTF (It’s Not Food) – “However, there’s one item that savvy preppers know has even higher value than bags of rice and beans. In fact, the number one item scavenged in most disasters is toilet paper. We saw it during the COVID-19 pandemic, when panic-buying left shelves bare for months. In a true SHTF scenario, or widespread natural disaster, humble toilet paper will have currency-like value.” – Eric Beuning
