THE BIG PICTURE

The U.S. Has Become a Hellhole and Few Seem to Notice or Care – “Given this ‘modern’ world of retro-civilization, a madness of going backward, in order for the rulers to gain unlimited power, and therefore solidify mass control, requires that they foment division, civil unrest, and chaos so that it consumes the population at large. Once this paradigm is evident, the governing forces, at the request and with the willing consent of the weak serfs, will be able to strengthen its dictatorial position by claiming to provide security for the nation-state and its dependent people. All this is predicated on the fact that these same rulers purposely brought about the division and dissention in the first place, that was necessary in order to create the environment of protest, riots, chaos and civil strife. There is no better example of this insane dynamic than in America and the West today.” – Gary D. Barnett

Another One – “A 37-year-old man was shot dead in the street in Minneapolis yesterday by ICE “agents” after one of these “agents” took the man’s holstered pistol, which he was legally carrying. A slowed-down, high-resolution video can be viewed here. It does not look good. In fact, it looks like a summary execution. The video shows a bunch of “agents” scrumming Pretti, who is wrestled to the ground. At this point, the video appears to show one of the “agents” taking Pretti’s legally holstered pistol, which he never pointed at anyone. Moments later, Pretti is shot dead by one of the “agents. ” This ought to appall everyone but especially “conservatives” who are ardent about the right – and it is a right – to carry a pistol. The fact that one is carrying one ought not to be warrant to kill that someone. Especially when that someone hasn’t unholstered his legally carried pistol. Some “conservatives” will defend the “agents” who executed Pretti – claiming he was “resisting.” Watching the video, it looks like he was trying to ward off a beating. Well, what happens in the event you get “pulled over” for a petty traffic violation – or maybe you just happent o be out driving and are forced to stop for no reason at all, as at a “sobriety” checkpoint – and the AGW sees your holstered, legally carried pistol – and maybe shoots you dead, because he thought you might shoot him?” – Eric Peters  – GREAT POINT FROM ERIC THAT MANY OF THE 2ND AMMENDMENT SUPPORTERS FAIL TO BRING UP!!!!!!!!!

No End to the Cold, Snow, and Ice – “The most intense polar vortex outbreaks of the modern era are what hundreds of millions in the Northern Hemisphere are living through, with gas and heating prices going through the roof. Americans were walloped this weekend. Meanwhile, as usual, the mainstream media is saying, “A recently released annual climate report for 2025 reveals our planet is enduring an unprecedented hot streak. Last year was the third-warmest on record, and the previous 11 years have ranked among the 11 warmest on record.” I am sure hundreds of millions will disagree.” – Dr.Sircus

Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying laws allow patients to request a painless death if an assessor agrees their terminal condition meets certain requirements. Patients often wait weeks, but it can happen the same day the application is lodged if judged to be medically urgent by a MAiD provider. But a report by the Ontario MAiD Death Review Committee raised concerns that safeguards were being eroded that led to questionable deaths.” – Nic White

Had Enough? – “Isn’t it obvious by now that the seditious mischief roiling Minneapolis is some kind of a demonstration project for a China-backed overthrow of the whole country? This is not hard. And, apparently, the Democratic Party is either a willing accomplice or a hostage in thrall to its captor …It is well understood that these ICE-Out riots are organized and funded by a network created by one Neville Roy Singham (American, b. 1954), now based in Shanghai. Singham funds the Party for Socialism and Liberation, The Peoples’ Forum, Code Pink, the United Community Fund and a web of other money laundries that supply all the logistics for Lefty-left mobs going back to the George Floyd / BLM operations of 2020. And then you have his perfect foil, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who visited China at least thirty times in his previous career as a teacher, his travel often funded by the CCP. What was he up to there? I think we’re going to find out. The communication system for the Minneapolis riots is an encrypted Signal Chat network (“MN ICE-Watch”) run by Tim Walz aide and campaign strategist Amanda Noelle Koehler. That’s how they organize rapid-response actions against ICE and broader mobilization for key propaganda opportunities like the recent shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.” – James Howard Kunstler

A Few Well-Placed Lies – “A question being kicked-around is whether of not our destiny is controlled by a hidden hand. And if so, whose hand is it and to what extent does it control us? Europe/Britain are seemingly almost totally controlled and the last fight against liberty is being waged in the US. But the degree of control is not what we might think. The biggest lie is there being a fix for our problems.” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

Follow the money, not the media – “The Gatoguide™ to making sense of Minnesota (and what’s to come). Honestly, despite half of Twitter seeming to have some really strong opinion of what “the video obviously shows,” Unlike the Renee Good video,Ii cannot make head or tail of it. There are just no good shots or angles I can see. but, again, this argument is missing the point. Had he been disarmed by the time he was shot? Was he reaching for/drawing his pistol? Was the first shot his (or a malfunction from a SIG notorious for such)? I’m not sure it matters. You come strapped to an action whose purpose is to impede armed officers. You act aggressively, You resist arrest. Sorry, but “well did he draw first?” is kind of out the window and people do often carry second weapons. Sure, carrying a gun is legal, but that does not make doing it while getting aggressive with cops either smart or safe. play Dangerous games, win dangerous prizes.” – El Gato Malo  – GOOD POINTS FROM EL GATO. DID THE MAN DESERVE TO GET KILLED. NOT REALLY, SHOULD HE HAVE BEEN THERE ARMED, NOT REALLY. SHOULD HE EVEN HAVE BEEN THERE AT ALL. AGAIN, NOT REALLY!!!

Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes – “There are a lot of genuinely stupid people in this country. Our public school system seems geared to churn them out like there was a profit in it for them. You’d think even the dumbest people would, as some point, come to the realization that they’re being exploited,…It takes a special kind of stupid to loudly dare someone to hit you,..Moronic leftists daring officers to hit them makes for great social media street cred in the cosplaying social justice warrior game. It’s hard for people who pay attention to what’s going on to care when someone gets hurt, or worse, when you know these people have taken to the street for what amounts to performance art. These people do not understand how the real world works.” – Derek Hunter

Of Lies and Surges – “There’s Blood in the Streets. “Surges” are not how you win wars, whether overseas or here at home. In fact, surges in Iraq and Afghanistan were admissions of a sort that the wars were already lost; their main purpose was to show resolve and to provide political cover for dishonest leaders like George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and Barack Obama. But government officials have an amazing capacity not to learn. Their “solution” is always to show resolve through military and/or police action. Nothing is “won,” nothing is achieved, and the main product is more blood in the streets.” – Bill Astore

Dude, do you even go here anymore? – “Where in the world is Gavin Newsom? Literally.. Gavin Newsom is in Davos running for President of …Europe? The carefully-coiffed contender from the Golden State is attending the World Economic Forum to blast Trump and demand global leaders unify against the Trump agenda. In a statement released just prior to his departure, Newsom described the President’s economic agenda as a betrayal of the nation and said he was heading to Davos to “confront” Trump’s abuses. Was a single person about to lose their home insurance asking him to fly to Europe to “confront” anyone? What about the thousands of people waiting for their attackers and abusers to be brought to justice or (gasp) deported? Or the senior citizens about to lose their homes to a sneak attack on our hallowed Prop 13? Or the parents who are choosing between new shoes for the kids or gas in the tank? Or the business owners sinking under a mountain of red tape and human waste from the homeless encampments? Or the “billionaire class” that is about to pick up and leave? Have any of these people asked Newsom to get on a plane – at their expense – and travel across the globe to preen for the ultra-wealthy while the Palisades still stands barren? The utter gall.” – Kira Davis

How The GOP Appropriators Bushwhacked The DOGE Boys – “Hopefully, Elon Musk and his DOGE boys have learned a lesson the hard way. To wit, their earnest, dogged, sweeping and compelling demonstration early in 2025 that hundreds of billions can be cut from the Federal budget has already been shit-canned. Almost in its entirety. And by the usual suspects—-the GOP appropriators on Capitol Hill—who are the biggest fake fiscal conservatives to ever come down the pike.” – David Stockman

What may be the Greenland endgame? – “Trump will ‘take’ Greenland. On Monday, when asked whether the U.S. would use force to seize Greenland, President Trump replied, “No comment”. He has previously promised to take the world’s largest island “the nice way [through purchase] or the more difficult way [by force]”. Though the notion seems to have sprung on the world ‘out of the blue’, John Bolton, Trump’s former National Security Adviser, tells that it was Ron Lauder, an 81-year-old New York Jewish billionaire and heir to the Estée Lauder fortune, who first sowed the seed of U.S. ownership of Greenland in the President’s mind in 2018, during his first term in office. Trump unsuccessfully tried to buy Greenland in 2019, during his first term. President Harry Truman also offered to buy it for $100m in gold in 1946 – but was turned down.” – Alastair Crooke

Who Will Feed Gaza? – “Jared Kushner’s vision is so glorious, so perfect in its conception, it is as if a light shines from within it. The world is awestruck at its brilliance, its cohesiveness, its sheer visionary energy. Instead of pelting him with old fruit and shoes, the audience listened politely, and no questions were asked. No one asked why Palestinians are not included in the future of Gaza, except perhaps as surveilled, caged laborers. Depopulation and demolition of the Strip, like Kushner’s unveiling for New Gaza, were planned long before the incident at the Nova Music Festival, conveniently moved south and left unprotected for many hours by order of Tel Aviv. Occurring as it did towards the end of Simhat Torah, for Israel, it was time for a new beginning. No one asked about the urgency of the erasure of Gaza.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

The US Must Return to a Gold Standard – “The purchasing power of the US dollar has been debased by over 99 percent since the foundation of the Federal Reserve. (An ounce of gold cost $20.67 in 1913. According to the Wall Street Journal as of Friday, January 16 its price was $4,588.40. That means that the dollar is worth less than one half of one percent of its 1913 purchasing power [$20.67/$4,588.40=.0045]). Its remaining purchasing power may eventually become zero. There is no discipline in US spending and the Fed has become a willing accomplice to this crime. The current administration is out of control. The only way it can become impossible is to end fiat money—which can be created out of thin air in whatever gigantic quantities are desired—and make the dollar “good as gold.” – Patrick Barron

THE BIG PICTURE

We Persist Through Righteousness – “As a rule, we prize strength and power. As a rule, we want our political leaders to project strength and power. We value strength. We value power. We generally desire both, but do we truly understand what they are? One thing we can see, whether we are looking at Ukraine, Iran, or Minnesota, is who is persisting, despite the forces arrayed against them. At the very least, ICE is so far persisting. Whether the protesters in Minnesota match their determination remains to be seen. How are these various groups managing to persist even in the face of determined opposition? Certainly one obvious answer is that they are convinced they are in the right. If what they are doing is the right thing, failing to persist must also be understood as the wrong thing. The strength to persist can therefore easily be said to be found in doing the right thing. Strength comes from following God’s Law, and acting in accordance with God’s Will.” – Peter Nayland Kust

The Lights Are Still On… But Your Electric Bill Feels Like a Quiet Shutoff – “The Soft “Power Outage” No One Warned You About—And Why Fixed Incomes Feel It First At first, nothing looks wrong. The lights come on. The coffee maker hums. The furnace kicks in like it always has. But then the bill arrives, and it’s a little higher than last time. Not enough to scream about. Just enough to make you pause. And that’s how it works. Not with a bang or a blackout, but with a slow tightening that most people don’t notice until the breathing room is gone. And once you start paying attention, the pattern snaps into focus. This isn’t about weather. It’s not about using too much electricity or forgetting to turn off a light. It’s about decisions made in quiet rooms, written in technical language, and approved without a single vote from the people footing the bill.How State Energy Policies Are Turning Monthly Power Bills Into a Shadow Tax Most Households Never Voted For ” – Bill Heid

Phase V to Phase VI Transition – “The Financialists—bloodline heirs to ancient Roman elite scum—are dead-set on shattering the United States via their Praetorian Regime and Devil’s Legions. Why? To crush any US-Russia-China alliance that would gut their global stranglehold and restore a world order free from their parasitic grip. These Financialists are a ruthless chain of money-lords who’ve weaponized economic sabotage to topple empires, It’s straight out of ancient Rome’s Praetorian playbook—elites hiding behind layers of owners and managers, knives to their throats, when rival powers threaten their grip, just as early Roman rivalries forced power to cloak itself. Tools of the trade: Debt traps via unsustainable loans, stoked divisions through resentment and chaos, resource theft via wars and taxes, legal warfare (lawfare), and straight-up hits and assassinations. Pulled from Rome’s collapse by mercenary sackings, Britain’s overextension post-Revolution, America’s hundreds of trillions of unpayable debts and social obligations, and endless elite killings for profit.” – E.M.

Media Maga Pundits, the Cult Speculators, defend ICE and laud the Death as deserving because this man was on the streets during a protest after ICE illegally detained a five year old boy for terrorism. ANYONE who finds this murder intolerable is immediately vilified as a ‘leftist terrorist who also deserves a death sentence’. How dare we NOT support Gestapo style murders. How dare this RN film ICE. How dare he protest the illegal detention of a five year old boy! IF you protest the government overreach – you deserve to die!

It might be time for President Donald Trump to make an even trade of Minnesota for Greenland. Progressives and illegals seem to have lost their ever-loving minds – and apparently they’re running the show. But on the bright side, at least now America can see the problems with progressive political dominance and the resulting Somali community in real time. Adding insult to injury, corporate media is having one heckuva time finding someone in the Gopher State to interview who shows up at least appearing legitimate and able to relate the woes they have endured because of Trump and his ICE troopers. As winter storm Fern graces the nation with a message from Mother Nature, smart folks in the below-zero temperatures of Minnesota have hunkered down with bread, milk, and eggs. Will Fern slap some sense into the screaming masses disrupting the streets, scattering them back to the suburbs and rich city lofts from whence they came?

NRA Makes Rare Statement Against Trump Admin Over Alex Pretti Shooting – “The National Rifle Association (NRA) criticized comments by a senior federal prosecutor warning that approaching law enforcement with a gun could justify a fatal police response, saying such statements risk “demonizing law‑abiding citizens” as the nation reels from the killing of a man in Minneapolis by a U.S. border agent. The organization has also spoken out against “radical progressive politicians like Tim Walz,” accusing them of inciting “violence against law enforcement officers who are simply trying to do their jobs.” The comments highlight tensions between prominent gun-rights advocates and federal officials over when armed presence in public meets legal thresholds for deadly force.” – Jordan King and Daniel Orton

In the last article two days ago we said Russia was readying a new strike, and it delivered. All this time, Russia has focused on hitting the TPPs, or thermal power plants, and various other gas and hydro-stations near dams, etc. Hitting nuclear plants is obviously quite a sticky subject because of not only the optics it creates, but obviously the dangers involved. So, Russia has for a long time avoided striking these nuclear substations.

I see earthquakes and lightning
I see bad times today

Don’t go around tonight
Well, it’s bound to take your life
There’s a bad moon on the rise

I hear hurricanes a-blowing
I know the end is coming soon
I fear rivers overflowing
I hear the voice of rage and ruin

Don’t go around tonight
Well, it’s bound to take your life
There’s a bad moon on the rise

All right

Hope you got your things together
Hope you are quite prepared to die
Looks like we’re in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye

Well, don’t go around tonight
Well, it’s bound to take your life
There’s a bad moon on the rise

Don’t come around tonight
Well, it’s bound to take your life
There’s a bad moon on the rise

We need to know who he is.Oh, and he’s taken over from George Soros, his daddy, as Chair of the Open Society Foundations (“OSF”). If you want to understand the OSF, you can think of it as the stopgap—it gives radical organizations the money that the government grift DOGE exposed doesn’t quite cover. If there’s a radical leftist organization in America, you can bet that somewhere, buried deep in the financials, the OSF is sending money. Alex has recently become sort of a Democrat “Godfather,” insofar as anyone who wants political power is expected to come and kiss the ring. ” – Andrea Widburg

Guns Against the State – “Self-defense and gun ownership are constantly being attacked in modern discourse and by the mainstream media, yet their legitimacy rests on principles far older than any constitution, preceding and transcending any political framework. The importance of self-defense lies in its role as a safeguard against both private and state aggression. Unlike modern states, which increasingly disarm their citizens and leave them defenseless, a private-law society would place no restrictions on the individual ownership of firearms or other weapons. In a genuinely free society, the preservation of liberty does not depend on armies or governments but on morally responsible individuals capable of self-reliance.

Top Trump Official Alarmed by ‘Horror’ of Canada’s Euthanasia Organ Harvesting – “From “Compassion” to Commodity. Canada has quietly become a global leader in organ donation after euthanasia (ODE).

Dr Henry Marsh – euthanasia advocate: “the greater good” justifies some cases of coercion. – “Henry Marsh is a (now retired) neurosurgeon who has been very outspoken in his support for an Assited Dying bill being introduced in the UK.

Armed Suspect Shot By Border Patrol Dies; Tear Gas Deployed As Protesters Swarm Area – Tyler Durden

What A Disaster – That Was The End Of The American Century – “Yesterday was a strategic disaster for America. Trump and his minions have destroyed the alliances that underpinned American exceptionalism. He revealed himself as weak and venal; an old man lost in rambling hatreds. America now faces a scrabble to save face and recover a modicum of respect. The medium-to-long term market implications are huge. Ultimately, Trump’s performance yesterday may be remembered as the most embarrassing and costly moment in America’s 250-year history. Standing in the wings was a smiling Chinese chief trade negotiator offering trade deals… which said it all. The Chinese understand geopolitics and how Trump shattering America’s alliances with aligned nations changes the world utterly – and if they play the situation well it opens fantastic new opportunities for Beijing. Every time Trump opens his mouth, Vance frowns, Lutnick insults, or Bessant patronises – the Chinese grin gets wider.” – Bill Blain

Arctic Craziness – “What ever happened to the Epstein scandal? Gone. Out of sight. Hey presto, vanished by the wave of a magic wand. It seems that Master Illusionist Donald Trump has dodged this lethal bullet – at least for the time being. Trump’s Invasion of Venezuela and kidnapping its president Maduro, a former bus driver, removed Epstein from the news. Now Trump and his henchmen are beating the drums over his claim to world greatness launched at Davos, Switzerland. This rather ugly alpine resort – which is not great for reliable skiing – was the perfect venue for showman Trump. The annual Davos jamboree is the world stage for big egos, conmen and show-offs. ” – Eric Margolis

TIME TO BOOT “PAY FOR PLAY” BONDI – “All I want to do is be the best attorney general that I can be. Pam Bondi (Uh Pam, we’re still waiting.) Attorney General Pam Bondi ‘whiffed’ on the Epstein Files. First, she gave them (influencers) binders full of nothingness. And then she said that the witness list, or the client list, was on her desk. There is no client list, and it sure as well wasn’t on her desk. Chief of Staff Susie Wiles (Hey Susie, didn’t you promote Pammy for AG?) Pam loves the camera and never shies away from an interview even when she has nothing of value to say.

Exterior Barriers That Restrict Access: DIY Ways to Make Your Property Hard to Approach – Most “home security” starts at the door. That’s backwards. If someone can walk or drive onto your property freely, they get time. They get options. They get to test angles, check sightlines, and decide if they want to commit—while you’re still assuming everything is normal. Exterior barriers flip that script. They don’t just “detect” movement. They shape movement. They force a stop, a detour, noise, or exposure—before anyone ever touches a knob or checks a window.”” – denob

Give us Liberty or Give us Big Brother – “Shackles of the nanny state. I have come to the conclusion that most of my fellow Americans just don’t like liberty. They don’t recognize or regret how much personal liberty we’ve lost over the last 50 years or so. They opt for rules and regulations over unfettered freedom. It’s all for our own good, of course. We’re just trying to protect you. Don’t you want us to be safe? The corruption we see in America today is unlike any corruption before it. It’s at every level. I see it whenever I traverse one of our crumbling, pothole filled roads. In recent years, they have stopped allowing motorists to turn left on a “leading” green, which was the case for the first four decades or more of my career behind the wheel The bottom line is, our leaders don’t trust the people to be able to do something as mundane as wait until no traffic is coming to execute a left-hand turn. At the same time, more and more traffic lights display a sign proclaiming “No right turn on red.” Again, those who misrule us have taken away the decision making power from the people on even that level.” – Donald Jeffries

NEWS

2026 – The Year US Hegemony Ends? – “Just a couple of hours after I wrote that I hadn’t yet seen the major agenda of Davos 2026, Canadian PM Mark Carney made a speech that suddenly made it clear. So, what is the speech about? It’s about how the US are bad guys, attempting to boss around the world through strength and nothing more. That the “rules-based order” is, and always was, a lie (sort of). That US hegemony is bad and must end. That countries should be independent (but also not really). The takeaway is that this is an important speech. How do we know that? Well, because everyone is saying so. Fluffing Carney’s supposed “realism” and “integrity” has become the hobby of everyone who fancies themselves a liberal, and this clearly signals a shift in narrative. Even some who should know better are buying in, tempted to a mainstream agenda by Carney’s (rather disingenuous) denunciation of the “rules-based international order”:” – Kit Knightly

Carney Declares Death Of The ‘Rules-Based Order’ – “To discard the ‘rules based order’, to expose it as the lie that it has always been, is a good step into the right direction. It is a fundamental change of viewing the world. But we also have to mindful to not fall into The Standing Ovation Trap because such fundamental changes can be abused. Keep in mind that the ‘liberals’, like Carney, who suddenly preach adherence to international law when Trump tries to snatch Greenland, are the same ones who still run cover for every Zionist breach of international law in Palestine:” – Moon of Alabama

POTUS And His Toadies – “Donald Trump’s delusional state mind was on unmistakable display during his rambling press conference Tuesday. As he purported to celebrate the greatest first-year achievements of any President in American history, he actually made if perfectly clear that none of the toadies around him have either the knowledge or gumption to tell him he’s flat-out full of baloney.” – David Stockman

TACO King Makes a Fortune for Him and His – “But what about the rest of us who don’t have a seat at the TACO table? Details are very thin because the only thing that often matters with Trump’s deals is that they give him something to hang his hat on. In terms of really mattering, I know I find it hard to see ANY way in which the US I live in day today has become one bit better after a year of Trump. Just more everyday chaos. I’m not richer. I don’t feel the country is richer. I certainly don’t feel it is more peaceful or secure. I can see NOTHING in what Trump has done that puts us in less of a new world order in exchange for the disrespect of other nations! All he is delivering is a NEW new world order, targeted all the more specifically to the benefit of elite billionaires, which is also a new order focused all around the mercurial Trump and whatever his rage drives him to do on any given Sunday. Trump is building a new world order around himself.” – David Haggith

 – WELL  SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trump’s threats escalate in unreasonableness – “It appears that the so-called Board of Peace does not have peace as its function. Instead, the purpose seems to be to raise billions of dollars to finance Trump’s plan of turning Gaza into an upscale resort. In place of Palestine there will be the Gaza Board of Peace Resort chaired by Donald Trump.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Evangelicals Are Still Fighting Old Covenant Wars – “President Donald Trump has not changed his followers; he has exposed them. Trump’s loyalists know exactly who and what he is—and they don’t care. In fact, in many ways, they like him more because of who and what he is. And what they like most about Trump is that he gives them validation for their own hatred, bigotry and carnality. That’s why it’s useless to try and enlighten Trump’s followers to who and what he is as a means of changing their minds. They know who and what he is. They like him because of who and what he is. They like him because they are just like him. Evangelicals know that Trump is not America-first. They know that he is Israel-first. And evangelicals like Trump for being Israel-first, because they are Israel-first. From the inception of the Zionist state, Zionists have been possessed with the spirit of war. That statement is absolutely, categorically unassailable. ” – Chuck Baldwin

Immigration enforcement: why this time is different – “Adventures in tinfoil cattery and receipt piles. ICE under Obama rounded up and deported millions of people. No one got the vapors. No one cared. Both sides of the aisle applauded. This was an obvious, bipartisan plan, popular, and a staple of democratic party politics. No one called it “fascism” and “literally Hitler.” This dates back to the 90’s (and likely much further as a core political value for the American left.” – El Gato Malo

Is Israel Preparing Nuclear Bombs for Iran According to “The Samson Option”? – “Last week, Israeli press reported a 4.2 earthquake in Dimona, near a major nuclear facility. There has been speculation that what caused the earthquake was a nuclear bomb explosion underground. Max Blumenthal was interviewed on The Jimmy Dore Show a few days ago where they were discussing the Iran situation, and when he mentioned this earthquake in Dimona within the context of Israel trying to put pressure on Trump to attack Iran, he brought up the topic of “The Samson Option” which has been allegedly used to blackmail U.S. Presidents in the past to gain their military support.” – Brian Shilhavy

Lavrov Warned About The US’ Attempt To Establish Strategic Superiority Over Russia – “Russia has proven that it’s capable of retaining its nuclear second-strike capabilities, but the US’ continued attempt to neutralize them is very unfriendly, which greatly impedes any possible “New Détente” after the end of the Ukrainian Conflict.” – Andrew Korybko

Since “who-could-have known?” is the favorite feature of the modern PSY OP factory. I’m a little angry at everybody who has low awareness levels about this. When it comes to “storms” I take a straight better-safe-than-sorry approach, as having been overly “alarmed” is not a detriment—just means maybe you are left with extra provisions, and/or life lessons, if it’s not too bad.

The Migrant Shelling, Ethnic Cleansing of Ireland Continues Unabated – “Aside from the ethnic cleansing itself of a noble people, the most sadistic aspect of the all-out globalist siege of the Emerald Isle — catapulting wave after wave of weaponized migrants onto its shores — is that Ireland did not participate in any of the historical sins that allegedly justify the same punishment for other European nations.

The Democrat Insurrection Moves to Minnesota – “The New Civil War Is Spreading. The Democrat Insurrection has found a new home. Last year it was primarily in California. As 2026 begins, the Democrat Insurrection is in full flower in Minnesota. Any quaint notion that these would be “peaceful” protests ended on January 7, when Renee Good decided to point her vehicle at an ICE agent and stomp on the accelerator. The ICE agent naturally responded by drawing his weapon and firing, killing Ms. Good. When people attack ICE agents, even with snowballs, they are not protesting. They are rioting. When they continue to riot it becomes an uprising, an insurrection. That is where we are now—in an insurrection. It is where we have been since last summer. Minneapolis is merely an extension of what erupted in Los Angeles last year. The insurrection is spreading, steadily becoming a new Civil War in this country. Now, as then, this is the demonstrable handiwork of Democrats. With words and with violence they are seeking to prevent ICE agents from doing their jobs. Now, as then, this is a Democrat-led insurrection.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Because Walz, Frey, and the propaganda press describe them as part of the “immigrant community,” middle-aged Minnesota women are willing to risk their lives to keep men who rape and murder women and children from being detained.

Trump graciously accepting another person’s Nobel Peace Prize like a Best Actor Oscar for a movie he wasn’t even in. This is a man who once suggested Obama only won a Nobel because “they liked him,” which is a pretty bold take from someone taking a victory lap after a lady from Venezuela literally regifted hers.

The sense that no matter how hard you work, the system keeps leaning back on you. That’s not bad luck. It’s a pattern. And here’s the part most people miss: the pattern only becomes obvious when you step outside it, even just a little. Grow some food. Haul your own water. Try to live without as many middlemen.” – Bill Heid

Homemade Ground Beef Jerky Recipe (For Dehydrator or Oven) – “Ground beef jerky is easy to make and less expensive than store-bought jerky. You can make it with a dehydrator or dry it in the oven. Use your choice of ground meat – lean beef or venison – whichever you have available. Do you need a jerky gun to make jerky with ground beef? Nope! You can make jerky without a dehydrator or a jerky gun, but the jerky gun is handy and entertaining.” – Laurie Neverman

Is FEMA’s Secret Rex 84 Being Planned Right Now? – “If you’ve been prepping for a while, you probably heard the name Rex 84 mentioned in old interviews, conversations, or even debated on radio or TV shows. It is one of those topics that never really goes away. Every time the country goes through a rough patch, interest in it flares back up again. Some people dismiss Rex 84 as an outdated Cold War plan, while others see it as proof that the government has quietly prepared for detaining large numbers of Americans during a national emergency.” – Kate L. Gilmour

THE BIG PICTURE

There Will Be Consequences – “When people submit to God’s Law, man’s laws are superfluous. When people reject God’s Law, man’s laws are irrelevant. Any rational understanding of how man’s laws relate to God’s Law begins with accepting these two principles. No law made by man can establish moral right or moral wrong. No law made by man can make the actions of men right or wrong. Moral right and moral wrong are established by God’s Law and by only God’s Law. Only God’s Law can make the actions of men right or wrong.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Musk-Grok Controversy: Where’s the Line Between Censorship and Safety? – “The Grok scandal should not be viewed one-dimensionally. It’s about more than explicit images and chatbot controversy. This matter demands a much broader debate about how to balance protection with restraint. If Grok becomes the precedent through which governments gain wide-reaching authority over AI outputs, then the line between safety and censorship will blur further. If AI is genuinely dangerous, does handing governments more power over what it can generate make us safer – or simply give institutions that already misuse power a new tool to control speech? ” – George Calder

Why the Hell Should We Care If Democrats Don’t? – “I used to feel bad for people in the cities overrun by Democrats’ BLM/ANTIFA Brownshirts; who wants to see their fellow Americans going through hell? But then you realize that these people voted for this, and did so repeatedly. I can have sympathy for someone complaining of a headache, but it quickly fades if I find out they have a habit of hitting themselves in the head with a frying pan. After that, I stop caring completely. We’re too that point with everything Democrats do. I’ve been to Minneapolis, went there for the convention in 2008 in St. Paul and had a great time. If it now gets destroyed, meh. That’s a horrible attitude to have, I get that, but I can’t bring myself to care about places or people who won’t care for themselves. If you keep electing idiots who oversee the slow-rolling destruction of your world, I’m out.” – Derek Hunter

How to Make A Fortune on Regime Change! – “Instead, what if I told you that you could make bank off the bloodshed while stuffing your face with Twinkies in front of your computer? Wanna know how can you get in on this action yourself? MEET POLYMARKET. Wait. You’ve never heard of Polymarket? Then you’re missing out! Billing itself as “the world’s largest prediction market,” Polymarket brags that it allows users to “stay informed and profit from your knowledge by betting on future events across various topics.” Well, this all sounds completely above board and legitimate! What could possibly go wrong? Yes, as it turns out, Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund helped lead a $200 million funding round for Polymarket last June. For those who don’t understand why that’s a problem, boy, do I have some reading.. OK, so there’s the whole Thiel connection to Polymarket. But what else could go wrong? Ah, yes. Polymarket added Donald Trump, Jr. as an adviser last August after his 1789 Capital VC fund made a sizable investment in the company. Are you beginning to understand why this whole Polymarket online event-gambling thing might be a very bad idea?” – James Corbett  – AMAZING CONFLICT OF INTEREST, IF YOU ASK ME.

For Trump—Reality Is Pulp Fiction – “Trump took the horror that was Biden’s non-diplomacy (calling adversaries names while participating in untold deaths), and turned it aggressive. Trump’s sanctions/tariffs, which history will ridicule as threats to civilization, become popularized pulp fiction as his brutality gains assets for, acceptance from Americans—lowing prices at the pump. A saga sold to the multitudes who don’t know their ass from a hole in the ground. As in: getting rid of dictator Assad to bring in in Trump’s buddy, al Jolani/ (former be-header in chief/now murderer of Christians/Alawites). That’s a good thing—right? Americans stupidly fail to see, while feeling wealthy in real estate, another pulp fiction—an industry held up by $38T dollars of debt that they the taxpayers owe, and the houses that they peddle at $800K are actual no worth than Americans will be able to pay—which could translate to 10/20% of that. When they gloat about their broker as having doubled their wealth over a decade, they don’t see it as pulp fiction.” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com  – ANOTHER GOOD READ FROM ERIK!!!!!

Trump heads toward war against 8 European countries. – ” (“On top of everything else, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland have journeyed to Greenland, for purposes unknown. Starting on February 1st, 2026, all of the above mentioned Countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland), will be charged a 10% Tariff on any and all goods sent to the United States of America.” – Donald Trump)” – Eric Zuesse

“US Talks with Hardline Venezuelan Minister Cabello Began Months Before Raid” – “Venezuela “intelligence services, police and the armed forces, remains largely intact after the January 3 U.S. raid” In other words, Washington did not change the regime of Venezuela, but incentivized (with a carrot and a stick) a powerful member of the existing establishment to do Washington’s bidding.” – John Leake – SPEAKING OF VENEZUELA, ANY NEWS ON MADURO LATELY? HE’S KIND OF DISAPPEARED FROM THE NEWS. MAYBE THEY NEVER REALLY CAPTURED HIM. ALL WE PRIMARILY HAVE IS SOME AI PHOTOS OF HIM IN HANDCUFFS!!!!!

Kristi Noem Says People Should Be Prepared to Prove US Citizenship – “Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem advised reporters that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers may ask some Americans for proof of citizenship during enforcement operations. When the rule was emphasized by Trump, there were warnings that if all immigrants were supposed to carry documentation, by default all people in the U.S. would have to carry ID so that they were not wrongly identified as an illegal immigrant.” – Peter Aitken and Dan Gooding  – BUT IT LOOKS LIKE A REAL ID IS NOT PROOF,  HUH, WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DHS agent tells court REAL ID can’t be used to confirm US citizenship – “Admission raises questions about what REAL ID was meant to accomplish after decades of implementation failures and billions in projected costs. Americans are required to obtain REAL ID to clear federal checkpoints, yet DHS now argues that the same credential may not be sufficient to quickly dispel suspicion of unlawful presence in the field.” – Anthony Kimery

Andrea Tsuchiya told CNN earlier, adding that troops will help provide “traffic support to protect life, preserve property, and support the rights of all Minnesotans to assemble peacefully.”” – Tyler Durden – SO I TAKE THAT TO MEAN THAT THEY ARE THERE TO PROTECT PROTESTORS AND NOT ENFORCE THE LAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ECONOMIC NEWS

Gold and Silver Explosion: Something Big Is Happening – “Precious metals prices are trying to tell us something. The problem is, that message is mostly being ignored, even by more conservative platforms. Not enough people are talking about what’s happening with precious metals and what it means for the economy as a whole. Here’s what I think… First, the rush to physical assets suggests that banking institutions, governments and the wealthiest 1% of investors are scrambling to hedge in preparation for a true crisis. Second, there are the domestic problems caused by protests against immigration enforcement. The deportation issue is merely a convenient excuse for wider conflict between the left and the right. ) If ICE agents went home tomorrow and stopped their arrests, the left would find something else to riot about.) In the meantime, civil instability helps fuel the rise in metals. Third, there are the tensions with Russia and China, who are not happy with the capture of communist dictator Nicolás Maduro. Fourth, let’s not forget the protests in Iran and the potential for regime change there.” – Brandon Smith

Markets May Exaggerate the Risks of Venezuela and Greenland – “Most of the recent reports about the potential opportunity in Greenland and Venezuela focus on the large capital expenditure required, technical challenges, and legal security risks. However, markets may exaggerate the risks and underestimate the potential. It is interesting to read that the United States should not invest in Venezuela and Greenland because they are high-risk, low-potential areas, but the same analysts find no problem in China and Russia developing those resources.” – Daniel Lacalle

Silver Goes Vertical: Do You Have An Exit Plan? (VIDEO) – “silver goes vertical, the real risk is not missing the move. It is failing to manage it. Knowing when to scale out, how to protect gains, and how to avoid the traps of euphoria and panic requires a plan established in advance. The question is not whether silver can move sharply higher. The question is whether you are ready when it does.” – The Morgan Report

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

Some folks trust to reason
Others trust to might
I don’t trust to nothing
But I know it come out right

Say it once again now
Oh, I hope you understand
When it’s done and over
Lord, a man is just a man

Playing
Playing in the band
Daybreak
Daybreak on the land

Some folks look for answers
Others look for fights
Some folks up in treetops
Just look to see the sights

I can tell your future
Look what’s in your hand
But I can’t stop for nothing
I’m just playing in the band

Playing
Playing in the band
Daybreak
Daybreak on the land

Standing on a tower
World at my command
You just keep a turning
While I’m playing in the band

If a man among you
Got no sin upon his hand
Let him cast a stone at me
For playing in the band

Playing
Playing in the band
Daybreak
Daybreak on the land
Playing
Playing in the band
Daybreak daybreak on the land

( Playing In The Band by Robert Hunter, Bob Weir and  Mickey Hart  )
