THE BIG PICTURE

Big Surprise: Legal Story Changes as Maduro Brought to Court – “What do you know? Today in court the Justice Department officially dropped the fake claim that Maduro was ringleader of the fictitious ‘Cartel of the Suns’, which never existed. The theater is not required anymore, you see, now that he’s captured! Convenient how that works, no?” – Simplicius

What Happened to the ¡Fentanyl! Hysteria? The Casus Belli Bait-and-Switch – “DOJ boss Pam Bondi has publicly released the 25-page indictment for the notorious ¡narcoterrorist! Nicolas Maduro, Butcher of Caracas. (She can’t for the life of her seem to find those Epstein files she had “on her desk” almost a year ago, even though she’s now required by law to release them in full, but she can sure get the Maduro grand jury indictment unsealed in a hurry. Weird how government suddenly develops the capacity to move with ruthless efficiency when it wants something done.) The grand jury indictment, after analyzing it, is found to contain no fewer than 67 references to “cocaine” in the context of Maduro’s trafficking operation — but zero references to “fentanyl.” Which might strike some as curious, given that the nonstop line coming out of the Venezuelan regime change proponents for months has been “¡Maduro the narcoterrorist is poisoning the youth of America with fentanyl!” Of course, the reality is, and has always been, that Venezuela has literally nothing, or almost literally nothing, to do with the illicit fentanyl trade — that’s all China, India, and Mexico.” -Ben Bartee

NEWS

Under Trump’s Madness, Insanity Has Consumed This Country – “This pre-planned coup was never once about drugs, (that is just a cover for ignorant American nationalists) for if stopping the flow of drugs and cartels was the objective, all Trump would have to do is shut down the CIA, as it is the biggest drug runner and drug dealer in the world, and controls and funds drug cartels in several countries. To stop drugs from coming into this country, one would only have to eliminate the CIA, legalize all drugs, and shut down the criminal DEA. No, this was never about drugs, and oil was never the main focus, although it is of great importance to the ruling scum, due to the risk to the worthless fiat petro-dollar and its constant debasement due the massive debt run up by this government and Federal Reserve.” – Gary D. Barnett

The Peace President Lays out his Many Goals for American Conquest – “Venezuela is only the centerpiece of a much bigger scheme. The Peace President acted this weekend like he was so angry over being spurned for the Nobel Peace Prize that he’s determined to show those dirty Norwegian rats that he doesn’t need it or want it. He’ll settle for imperial greatness, instead.” – David Haggith

Barbaria strikes again – “The Raging Twenties started with a murder: Gen. Soleimani, Baghdad, January 3, 2020. Ordered by Trump 1.0. The second part of the Raging Twenties starts with a bombing/kidnapping. Mini-Shock’n Awe on Caracas, Delta Force raid. January 3, 2026. Ordered by Trump 2.0.

Why Putin and Xi want Maduro dead – “Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela’s dictator, never finished high school. But don’t confuse the lack of formal education with stupidity. It is, after all, his charisma, stature (6’3” among men who stand 5’9”), and intelligence that allowed him to claim the throne of the oil-rich country. But that which led to his success — his advanced mental capacity — could cost him his life. Why? Maduro’s brain is a treasure trove of data — vital information — that his allies want to remain hidden and dead men tell no tales.” – Kenn Gividen

America is a country, not an economic zone. Unity is our strength, not diversity. As our nation turns 250, assimilation is the most important issue. We must define what an American is now in order to prosper for another 250 years. America has always embraced immigrants who embrace America.” – Yuri Bezmenov

The Most Generous Goodbye in Presidential History – “Joe Biden will be living large for the rest of his life—and you’re paying for it. After more than half a century in public office, Biden is poised to collect roughly $417,000 a year in taxpayer-funded pensions—a sum that exceeds the salary of the presidency itself. (I’d gladly pay more for him to not be president than to be president, but still.) Not through a single benefit, but by stacking multiple government retirement systems into one very comfortable payout. It’s legal. It’s contractual. It’s the priciest participation trophy known to man. And it’s being paid for, of course, by you. And guess what? Your generosity doesn’t stop there. The General Services Administration has budgeted another (more than) $1.5 million a year for Biden’s post-presidency support. ” – Jenna McCarthy

Perhaps We Should Actually Be Focusing On Fixing America – “Even though we have literally stolen trillions upon trillions of dollars from future generations, our major cities are rapidly decaying, our infrastructure is crumbling, corruption is rampant, the middle class is shrinking, most of the population is struggling to even afford the basics each month, mass layoffs are happening all over the nation, our streets are teeming with hordes of drug addicts and homeless people, large numbers of Americans are selling images of themselves online just to make ends meet, and millions of others are living in their vehicles. So why don’t we use what limited resources we have to fix our own problems?” – Michael Snyder

London’s Silver Lie Detonates: How a $90 Shanghai Cat Clawed Its Way Out of a $78 Paper Sack. – “And this silver cat is never going back in the paper bag—Western price fixers can cry all they want. COMEX and LBMA are now reduced to a fiction layered over a market they no longer control, fronting a “global” silver price that China just walked away from in broad daylight. Washington’s protectionist turn under Trump, sold as a way to “win” economic wars, has instead accelerated the collapse of Western paper pricing power and handed real price discovery to Shanghai.​ Two prices, one metal COMEX Feb ’26 silver sits around $78– $79 dollars an ounce, still marketed as the world’s benchmark price.​ So please, I beg of you, don’t sell to any bullion dealers because dealers will use this phony price (and weaker hands often think they are timing a top when this silver bull market is just beginning) Stay tough and recall the current price of silver is now $90” – The Silver Academy

Stolen Soil and Corporate Welfare: The Global Scam of ‘Feeding the World’ – “Supermarket shelves have never been fuller, yet diets have become poorer. Across the world, food systems praised for their productivity now deliver an abundance of calories alongside widespread micronutrient deficiency, ecological collapse and rural precarity. This is the outcome of an agricultural model that equates food security with yield and mass production with nourishment. Sustained by billions in subsidies, industrial agriculture increasingly resembles a welfare state for agribusiness and retail giants whose profits depend on public money. Corporate-driven industrial agriculture claims to feed the world but too often delivers empty calories while starving populations of nutrients.” – Colin Todhunter

The Peace President Goes to War – “Not content with stealing Venezuela’s assets, Trump is also after Iran’s sovereignty. American money has poured into NGO’s in Iran and used to bribe street protests against the government as was done in Kiev when the elected Ukrainian government was overthrown and an American puppet installed. Trump has announced that the United States will intervene in Iran if violence is used against the hired protesters. Just as Washington arranged for shots to be fired in Kiev, Washington can arrange for shots to be fired in Tehran. This way Trump can overthrow Iran without it looking like he is doing it for Israel.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Why Seize Maduro? Power, Plain and Simple Governments Chase Power The Way People Chase Wealth – “Shoutout to one of my regular readers here on Substack, The Watchman, for putting this question directly: Peter, I guess my first question would be “Why are we expanding American Power?” To be the “Big Kid” on the block? To take other countries’ oil? Just what is the purpose of Gunboat diplomacy? Many pundits both pro- and anti-Trump have proffered explanations (or criticisms) of the Caracas raid, all of them proceeding from a particular geopolitical bias.” – Peter Nayland Kust

The US’ Capture Of Maduro Exposed The Reality Of Great Power Geopolitics – “Trump 2.0 boldly explained how the US intends to restore its “sphere of influence” over the Americas in accordance with the new National Security Strategy, thus representing a Hyper-Realist approach in the sense of explicitly embracing the pursuit of power as a goal instead of denying it like before.” – Andrew Korybko

The madness of Trump’s foreign policy. It’s worse than you think – “Does anyone, even in his own circle of fools, believe the Venezuela stunt is really about drug trafficking? Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent visit to Trump’s lair marks their sixth one-on-one meeting since Trump took office – a telling detail on several levels. The main point is that Bibi is struggling to convince Trump that the U.S. and Israel need to go to war with Iran, a move Trump is resisting. The scenario of dragging America into another “forever war” in the Middle East is not appealing to Trump, whose foreign policy misadventures around the globe are backfiring and boxing him into several corners. Some analysts already point to new conflicts brewing on multiple fronts following his preposterous act of high-seas piracy – seizing oil tankers leaving Venezuela.’ – Martin Jay

Many were also a bit terrified, no doubt a key objective of the Israeli effort. The commemorative desktop versions of “the Israeli pagers” given to Trump and Rubio, in gold and silver, were not to celebrate but to warn. A key Zionist achievement of 2025 was gaining command of TikTok, Paramount and CBS. TikTok, in Netanyahu’s own words, was the jewel in the media crown, as the only consistent source of genocide coverage and voices critical of Zionism.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

However, if affordability is going to be the buzzword for Democrats, then maybe they should stop making electricity so damn expensive in their states. Instead of admitting that expensive electricity is a choice they’re deliberately making — your budget be damned — they lie, claiming wind and solar power are “affordable” and “reliable.”” – Tom Knighton

The Maths of a Debt Trap – “Stagnating economies, together with high government debt loads, inevitably create funding crises and debt traps.

Economies in the Eurozone and the UK have insufficient growth to support their colossal mountains of government debt.” – Alasdair Macleod

Do Central Banks Determine Interest Rates? – “It is commonly held that the long-term interest rate is an average of current and expected short-term interest rates. The short-term interest rate, it is maintained, is determined by the central bank policy rate, such as the federal funds rate in the US. Hence, it follows that the central bank is the key in the interest rate determination process. But does it make sense that individuals have nothing to do with interest rate determination?” – Frank Shostak

Silver Mania Begins – “Everybody loves the idea of a short squeeze, and that could be what we’re starting to witness. One version of the silver squeeze theory argues that big bullion banks are short massive quantities of silver. That they’ve been working with the government to suppress the price of precious metals, so that fiat currency looks good by comparison. Proponents of this theory would argue that what we’re seeing today is the inevitable unraveling of the scheme. Is that what’s actually happening? Maybe, but we don’t have conclusive proof either way. What we do know is that plenty of people are short silver, and they’re getting squeezed out of their positions.” – Adam Sharp

President Trump’s End Game? South America – “What Is The End Game? With Trump’s commentary, as espoused across every mainstream media, that oil is the end game, I believe it is a deflection. Currently, there is a global oil glut. More oil means lower prices – means less profit for the Big Beautiful Oil Companies who may not want to spend Billions on Venezuela oil infrastructure. Takes time. So, what’s the real end-game? Trump is now bragging that taking out Maduro was so easy he wants to take out Cuba, Colombia and Mexico next. With Cuba being the easiest target simply by size. And Rubio more than willing to blow up his country of origin. There are three possibilities: Trump wants to colonize all of South America.

Whatever one thinks of the Maduro operation, it does not fit the statute’s own triggers.

If it seems odd to you that Somalians have somehow cornered the market on day care in Minnesota, you might be a “racist.” Okay, here’s the indelicate part. It’s doubtful that many Somalians are good spellers. This is because, according to the available statistics, the average IQ in Somalia is 68. “Right-wing extremists” note that Somalia is one of the most dangerous and violent countries in the world. So how could our leaders not do all they could to import them here? What exactly could society expect someone with an IQ of 68 to do in the workforce? Beyond mundane physical labor? Well, I suppose not run a fake daycare center, or some other shell company. But would you want one as a surgeon or an airplane pilot? DEI insanity pushes for just that.

Physical supply is tightening. And the paper market that’s been used to control silver’s price is showing visible cracks. This video breaks down why silver matters now, how it connects to global debt, currency debasement, and systemic control — and why history shows that silver tends to move last, but move violently when it finally does.” – ContrarianConspiracyChronicles  – INTERESTING VIDEO, ESPECIALLY THE ALLEGORY ON THE WIZARD OF OZ.

IMAGE FOR THE DAY

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

Caught up in the whirlwind, can’t catch my breath
Knee deep in hot water, broke out in cold sweat
Can’t catch a turtle, in this rat race
Feels like I’m losin’ time, at a breakneck pace

Afraid of my own shadow, in the face of grace
Heart full of darkness, spotlight on my face
There was love all around me, but I was looking for revenge
Thank God it never found me, would have been the end

(I was) Walkin’ the tight rope, steppin on my friends
Walkin’ the tight rope, (it) was a shame and a sin
Walkin’ the tight rope, between wrong and right
Walkin’ the tight rope, both day and night (Solo)

Lookin’ back in front of me, in the mirror’s grin
Through eyes of love I see, I’m really lookin at a friend
We’ve all had our problems, that’s the way life is
My heart goes out to others, who are there to make amends

We’ve been walkin’ the tightrope
Trying to make it right
Walkin’ the tight rope
Every day and every night
Walkin’ the tight rope
Bring it all around
Walkin’ the tight rope
From the lost to found
Walkin’ the tight rope
Streched around the world
Walkin’ the tight rope
Save the boys and girls
Walkin’ the tight rope
Let’s make it right
Walkin’ the tight rope
Do it, do it tonight
Walkin the tightrope

( Tightrope by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Doyle Bramhall )

THE BIG PICTURE

The Financial System Has Failed: Currency Debasement and Inflation Will Now Scream – “Well, it is a new year, and much more manipulation is happening in the paper silver contracts, as regulators under the idiotic banner of “market stability” have raised margin requirements and position limits twice in a few days. This is of course, all done to protect the institutional short sellers, mainly the banks, as they face great losses when silver or other commodities rise against their shorts. Also, this is a way to hold down the price of precious metals, especially silver, in order to cover up the inevitable collapse of the dollar. So what does all this mean? It means that the financial system is so fragile and bankrupt, that it is close to failure, and extreme measures are being taken by government and the Federal Reserve just to keep it afloat. This is certainly attempting to kick the can down the road a bit further, but the can itself is obviously coming apart. This is leverage upon leverage, vastly increasing debt, and who knows where all this is going and when? One thing is for sure; monetary debasement is greatly expanding, and massive price inflation will follow. The metals signal is crystal clear, as gold and silver are indicating that this debt-based financial system is ending.” – Gary D. Barnett  – FOR MORE ON THIS SEE THE ARTICLES IN THE ECONOMIC SECTION TODAY AND THE PAST FEW DAYS SINCE MONDAY. IT’S ECONOMIC NEWS BUT REALLY IT ALL TIES IN TO THE “BIG PICTURE”!!!!!!!!!!!

The Cycle of Freedom – “Periodically, I offer up a statement by Scottish Economist Alexander Tytler, “The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been about 200 years. These nations always progressed through this sequence: From Bondage to Moral Certitude; from Moral Certitude to Great Courage; from Great Courage to Liberty; from Liberty to Abundance; from Abundance to Selfishness; from Selfishness to Complacency; from Complacency to Apathy; from Apathy to Dependency; from Dependency to Bondage.” Tytler had it right. There is a Freedom Cycle. It’s not an accident. It’s based upon human nature, which is perennial.” – Jeff Thomas

A Shrewy New Year: Back to the Trenches – “As the twinkling lights of Christmas fade and the echoes of holiday cheer dissolve into the crisp air of January 2026, we shrews find ourselves at a familiar crossroads. The season brought a rare respite—a peaceful interlude where families gathered without the shadow of mandates looming quite so heavily, where conversations flowed freely, unmarred by the usual divides. But make no mistake: this tranquility is fleeting, a mere pause in the symphony of struggle. The world hasn’t healed; it’s merely caught its breath. Now, it’s time to sharpen our claws, dust off our vigilance, and plunge back into the trenches. There’s no room for relaxation in a world still shrouded in deception.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

“Boots on the Ground” – “Hopefully, the scruffy little dictator of Ukraine is lying – or being misquoted. Nonetheless, it is alarming – if you’re among the sane – to read that, supposedly, “US BOOTS ON THE GROUND in Ukraine (is) being discussed.” The good news is “troop deployment is UP TO THE UNITED STATES.”  This being “good news” in the same way that being told you have cancer – but it hasn’t spread yet – is “good news.” If you voted for Trump, did you vote to send American troops to . . . Keeeeeeeeeeeeev? That would be bad enough, given that sending American troops (and American tax dollars) to these shithole countries where no American interest are involved – as opposed to the interests of the people who control the government that rules America – is always a bad idea for Americans, who get nothing in return except slain and crippled Americans and higher taxes as well as the well-earned contempt of the people who live in the countries curb-stomped by American troops.” – Eric Peters

A Low-Risk Strategic Win: Trump Should Recognize Somaliland – “There is an easy argument for recognizing Somaliland, and it is not the one that State Department lifers will offer you in a memo. The easy argument is that it would enrage Somalia-born Rep Ilhan Omar. That is not a reason by itself to reorder US foreign policy, but it is a useful diagnostic. When a policy move reliably provokes a loud, immediate denunciation from Omar, that usually means it cuts against a particular combination of interests, ideology, and constituency. Somaliland recognition does exactly that.” – Amuse on X

Uruguay Latest Country Hoping to Ditch the Dollar – “Uruguay is the latest country hoping to ditch the U.S. dollar. That won’t be an easy task, given that Uruguay ranks as the most dollarized Latin American nation. However, the fact that the government is even trying to limit dollar dependence reflects a growing de-dollarization trend that threatens the primacy of the greenback. Uruguay Central Bank President Guillermo Tolosa recently announced policy changes designed to de-incentivize dollar use and boost the Uruguayan peso.” – Mike Maharrey

Perfect Storm for Debt, Economy, War, Gold & Silver (VIDEO) with Martin Armstrong – Greg Hunter

Silver’s 2026 Open: Irresistable Force Meets Immovable Object – “The paper metals markets have traditionally responded to spiking prices by raising margin requirements. Players who can’t come up with the extra money have to liquidate their positions, which causes prices to fall. That accounts for at least part of the brutal end to last year’s silver price action. The Comex exchange just raised margin requirements again. Does this mean silver will fall hard when trading opens later today? GoldSilver’s Mike Maloney says yes: It really doesn’t matter what silver does today. Its long-term story is that deficits produce shortages, which in turn produce higher prices, so we should be agnostic about any given day’s action.” (VIDEO) – John Rubino

In A Desperate Attempt To Stop The Bleeding, A Conspiracy To Force The Price Of Silver Down Is Unfolding Right In Front Of Our Eyes – “They aren’t even trying to pretend to hide what they are doing. Everyone knows that the meteoric rise in the price of silver in 2025 has put an immense amount of stress on certain financial institutions. Of course nobody is publicly confirming how much damage has been done, but it must be pretty severe if CME Group is taking such extreme measures to force the price of silver down. For the second time in less than a week, CME Group has abruptly raised margin requirements on precious metals futures…” – Michael Snyder

New Year, Better Year, an obligatory communication – “We live in a world defined by wielders of great power. We live in the spaces delineated by them. Unless we amass an opposing power to oppose the inevitable march of Power towards greater aggrandizement, we will be fodder, pure and simple. Covid showed just how perilous our position is — we who have been raised in our ‘civilized’ Western world of democratic slogans. Power is not terribly kind. To get its way it will maim, murder and annihilate. The single most important element that stands in the way of a truly united front against Power is the inability of our so-called brothers and sisters in victimhood who REFUSE to believe that governments and other entities will lie, cheat, steal and kill, despite an historical record that is as long as it is bloody and despite the very obvious depredations during covid, which included the unnecessary and dangerous Jabs.” – New Zealand Doc

‘Super flu’ cases rising across US: What to know – “As the winter season fully kicks in, it’s expected that people across the country will get sick. Except this time, a new illness has sounded the alarm — the “super flu.” The “super flu” is a variant of influenza A H3N2 called subclade K that doctors say is more severe and takes longer to recover from.

2025: The Year the Government Stopped Pretending It Cared About Freedom – “Some years chip away at freedom. Others tear the mask off. 2025 was the year the government stopped pretending it was constrained by the Constitution—when executive power expanded openly and unapologetically, surveillance became ambient, dissent became dangerous, and the machinery of militarized government embedded itself into daily life. Under Trump 2.0, the erosion of civil liberties gave way to something more brazen: the dismantling of constitutional government itself.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

Stargate LLC: An American AI Project. Kind Of. (VIDEO) – “I’ve spent the last year documenting Larry Ellison’s empire. Media consolidation through his son’s acquisition of CBS and Paramount. The pursuit of Warner Brothers for CNN and HBO. Healthcare data through Oracle’s Cerner acquisition with 9.5 million patient records. Behavioral surveillance through TikTok ownership. Biometric data through facial recognition. Medical records through Oracle Health. I thought I understood what he was building. Surveillance capitalism at scale. But Stargate revealed what I’d been missing. This isn’t about predicting what you’ll buy or watch. This is about genomic data itself. The permanent hereditary code that makes all other surveillance inescapable. Because here’s what makes this different: You can delete your Facebook account. You can change your phone number and move cities. You can wear masks and avoid cameras and use cash if you’re determined enough. Behavioral surveillance is theoretically escapable.

But what happened in the land of 10,000 lakes is tiny compared to the fraud in California under Gavin Newsom. Heck, it makes Minnesota look like pocket change. But here’s where things get really interesting. While pressure is on in Minnesota to get to the bottom of the state’s fraud, California seems to be under the radar. Now get this. Right in the middle of the fraud apocalypse, a new ballot initiative seeks to impose a one-time 10% wealth tax on billionaires’ assets.” – Matt Margolis

The Israeli Government Put My Name At The Top Of An ‘Antisemite’ List – “My name appears at the top of a list in a document the Israeli government released earlier this month in order to draw false associations between the Bondi Beach shooting and online criticism of Israel and its atrocities. This word “delegitimization” appears throughout the document, which I personally find funny. They knew the “antisemitism” claim couldn’t stand on its own, so they had to tack on this weird extra complaint about people “delegitimizing” the state of Israel — as though that’s a bad thing. I’ll always deny harboring any hatred toward Jews or Judaism, but I’ll happily admit to trying to delegitimize a genocidal apartheid state that cannot exist without nonstop violence and abuse.” – Caitlin Johnstone

How many top Iranian military officers and scientists have been assassinated to a chorus of HALLELUJA ! from Western corporate media? How many times have Americans been told we must purge the evil Husseins, Khomeinis, Castros, Maduros, Kims, and Putins of the world? How many times has chopping off that snake’s head done nothing to the snake except to make it stronger?

Sooner or later, I suspect they’ll hit a point where that’s simply not the case anymore. It’s like they want the violence. And that scares the hell out of me, because once Christians start being violent like Muslims, then we’re likely to have some very horrible things happen in the name of God, but it will only escalate as the leftist media won’t get the intended message for quite a long time, thus making out like Christians have always been the threat.

Not specifically in Greece. In banks across Europe that you’ve never heard were in trouble. Because they made bets on the two most boring asset classes imaginable. A metal. And bonds.
