Medical profession implements WHO digital diagnosis code for the unvaxxed – “Doctors will be ‘incentivized’ by the government to start asking more questions about your vax status. A set of international codes are used by the medical industry for billing purposes under Medicare-Medicaid and the private insurance companies, but it’s not just about billing. These codes are part of the International Classification of Disease (ICD) system set forth by the United Nations World Health Organization and they’re about to get far more invasive.” – Leo Hohmann

Malign creativity: Greta edition – “As many of you have probably seen, everyone’s favorite climate spokesmoppet got herself arrested in germany protesting to “save the world” from the evils of climate change and coal mining. As the video above makes clear however, this was a full blown PR stunt/put up job. she was not mistreated or mishandled. The whole thing was planned and choreographed.” – El Gato Malo  – LINKED AN ARTICLE ON THIS YESTERDAY AND THE VIDEO PRETTY MUCH CONFIRMS THAT THIS WAS ALL STAGED!!!!

Ardern Out: Tearful New Zealand Prime Minister Unexpectedly Announced Resignation – “New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, one of the best known and longest faces of the globalist menace that steamrolled all personal rights and liberties during the period of world history known as “covid fascism” while arresting countless non conformists just so she could impose universal lockdowns and to enable the CEOs of Pfizer and Moderna to become stinking rich, said she would step down by Feb. 7 after more than five years as leader because she “lacks the energy” to do the job ahead of an election later this year.” – Tyler Durden

Fear Is Pfizer’s Financial Fertilizer – “By now, you’ve probably heard there’s a new COVID variant making the rounds, and it’s said to be “the most transmissible” variant to date. To hit the proper emotional note where propaganda becomes effective, the new variant, XBB.1.5, was quickly dubbed the “Kraken,” which is a moniker referring to a legendary sea beast that could not be defeated. There’s nothing particularly noteworthy, and certainly nothing scary, about this new variant.” – Dr. Joseph Mercola

Biden’s climate envoy John Kerry says an ‘extra terrestrial’ force brought people to Davos to ‘save the planet’ in bizarre World Economic Forum speech – Morgan Phillip

Corporate Media COVID Contradictions Show Why The Data Always Matters – “Reality And Data Are Still Lethal To The Pandemic Panic Narrative. If you read nothing else but this article from Forbes, you might be forgiven for thinking the XBB.1.5 recombinant Omicron SARS-CoV-2 subvariant is a dangerous and deadly infectious pathogen. Yet while the picture being painted is one of XBB.1.5 spreading rapidly throughout the United States. The picture painted by the actual data is far less bleak and far more hopeful. Even where XBB.1.5 is spreading rapidly, hospitalizations have peaked and are trending downward. This has been the case even two weeks ago, when the media was first starting to hype the “Kraken” as the latest deadly subvariant of the original SARS-CoV-2 virus.” – Peter Nayland Kust

360 Degree Surveillance: How Police Use Public-Private Partnerships to Spy on Americans – “In this age of ubiquitous surveillance, there are no private lives: everything is public. Surveillance cameras mounted on utility poles, traffic lights, businesses, and homes. License plate readers. Ring doorbells. GPS devices. Dash cameras. Drones. Store security cameras. Geofencing and geotracking. FitBits. Alexa. Internet-connected devices. There are roughly one billion surveillance cameras worldwide and that number continues to grow, thanks to their wholehearted adoption by governments (especially law enforcement and military agencies), businesses, and individual consumers. With every new surveillance device we welcome into our lives, the government gains yet another toehold into our private worlds.” – John & Nisha Whitehead  – ANOTHER GOOD READ FROM JOHN AND NISHA AS WELL AS THE ONE BELOW FROM JUDGE NAPOLITANO!!!!!!

The FBI and Personal Liberty – “Among the lesser-known holes in the Constitution cut by the Patriot Act of 2001 was the destruction of the “wall” between federal law enforcement and federal spies. The wall was erected in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, which statutorily limited all federal domestic spying to that which was authorized by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. The wall was intended to prevent law enforcement from accessing and using data gathered by America’s domestic spying agencies. Those of us who monitor the government’s destruction of personal liberties have been warning for a generation that government spying is rampant in the U.S., and the feds regularly engage in it as part of law enforcement’s well-known antipathy to the Fourth Amendment. Last week, the FBI admitted as much. Here is the backstory.” – Andrew P. Napolitano

This Challenge To Illinois’ Gun Law Tees Up SCOTUS To Finally Nuke ‘Assault Weapons’ Bans – “This case seems destined for the U.S. Supreme Court, which has sidestepped the constitutionality of ‘assault weapons’ and ‘large-capacity’ magazine bans for years.” – Margot Cleveland

Rep. Matt Gaetz Introduces ‘Abolish the ATF Act’ After New Rule Turned Millions of Gun Owners Into Criminals – Jim Hoft

Mexico Is Not Really an American Friend – “One sure sign of historic national decline is the collective inability of a government and its people to defend their own borders and national sovereignty. Note that Mexico itself facilitates illegal transits across its own southern border—as long as such Central American and other global migrants keep heading northward into the United States. But when or if they pause, try to stay in Mexico, commit crimes, or expect Mexican social services, then almost immediately Mexico City sends thousands of troops to close its border with Guatemala, deports the illegal crossers, and revives talk of building a border wall of its own. Biden has demolished America’s southern border. His illegal nullification of U.S. immigration law is music to Obrador’s ears.” – Victor Davis Hanson

A classified document found in a garage is no accident, it is a crime – “People are missing the point and the media are purposely distorting the facts about the discovery of classified documents in Joe Biden’s possession. The unsecured classified documents found in Biden’s garage is not only a crime scene, it is evidence of espionage. Every pundit on the television continually demonstrates having little clue about the law or even the name of the security program that governs the safeguarding of classified materials.” – Mark Hewitt

Brother And Son – “One of the tricks the Clintons popularized for getting around rules and protocols was the sudden collapse in enforcement of the rules and protocols. Instead of violating one specific rule that was hindering them, they would violate all the rules. This way they could blame the system or just unintended errors. This made it hard to see the specific rule they were violating, which made it hard to see the caper. They hid their crimes in an avalanche of sloppiness. This seems to be what the Bidens were up to when Joe was Vice President.” – The Z Man

Hunter Biden Lived in Wilmington House with Classified Documents While Bagging Millions Linked to the Highest Levels of Chinese Intelligence – “While addicted to drugs, cavorting with prostitutes, and making deals with businessmen tied to the highest levels of Chinese intelligence, Hunter Biden lived in the house where Joe Biden stored classified documents.” – Seamus Bruner

BREAKING: Charges Announced Against Alec Baldwin in ‘Rust’ Shooting – “The prosecutors in New Mexico have just announced that actor Alec Baldwin is going to face two felony counts of involuntary manslaughter in regard to the fatal shooting of the film’s cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins.” – Nick Arama  – NO ONE SHOULD BE ABOVE THE LAW, ACTOR OR NOT. BALDWIN KNEW NOTHING ABOUT SAFE WEAPON HANDLING AND SOMEONE LOST THEIR LIFE BECAUSE OF HIS CARELESSNESS. TRUE GUN CONTROL STARTS WITH THE PROPER TRAINING AND USAGE OF WEAPONS AND NOT TAKING AWAY PEOPLE’S RIGHTS!!!!!

France Grinds To Halt Over Nationwide Pension Strikes – Tyler Durden

‘Fragmented World’ Sleepwalks Into World War III – “Insufferable bores from that Divide and Rule island in northern Europe have just found out that “geopolitics”, alas, never really entered the tawdry “end of history” tunnel: much to their amazement it’s now centered – again – across the Heartland, as it’s been for most of recorded history. They complain about “threatening” geopolitics, which is code for Russia-China, with Iran attached. But the icing on the Alpine cake is arrogance/stupidity actually giving away the game: the City of London and its vassals are livid because the “world Davos made” is fast collapsing. Davos did not “make” any world apart from its own simulacrum. Davos never got anything right, because these “elites” were always busy eulogizing the Empire of Chaos and its lethal “adventures” across the Global South. Davos not only failed to foresee all recent, major economic crises but most of all the current “perfect storm”, linked to the neoliberalism-spawned deindustrialization of the Collective West. And, of course, Davos is clueless about the real Reset taking place towards multipolarity.” – Pepe Escobar

US May Help Ukraine Launch An Offensive On Crimea – “It’s hard to imagine a full-scale assault on geostrategically crucial territory long considered a part of the Russian homeland not causing a major escalation. It’s been widely accepted among foreign policy analysts that Crimea is among the reddest of all of Russia’s red lines in this standoff. Moscow considers Crimea to be Russian. Your disagreements with the Kremlin about Crimea will not protect you from nuclear fallout, and they will not protect anyone else. Nuclear warheads don’t care about your feelings. Any assertion that Russia will not use nukes under such-and-such a circumstance must squarely address this question: “Are you willing to gamble the life of every terrestrial organism on that claim being true?” If you can’t answer this question, your claim isn’t serious or valid.” – Caitlin Johnstone

Washington Has Resurrected the Threat of Nuclear Armageddon – “We owe this disaster to the neoconservatives. The neoconservatives were responsible for Iran-Contra and were fired and prosecuted by President Reagan. They were pardoned by Reagan’s successor, President George H.W. Bush and wormed their way into conservative ranks and into policy positions in government.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Ukraine: Is the Hammer About to Fall? – “The level of incompetence in the planning of this war is beyond anything we’ve ever seen before. It appears that all the preparation was focused on provoking a Russian invasion, not on the developments that would happen soon afterwards.” – Mike Whitney

CIA Chief Warns Zelensky of Assassination (…by the CIA) – “So CIA boss William Burns made a secret trip to Kiev in January last year to warn Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky that his life was in danger from assassination. The clandestine meeting occurred only weeks before Russia launched its military operation in Ukraine. Western news media are gullibly spinning the claim that Burns warned Zelensky that the Russians were plotting to kill him. The impact of the top secret briefing was said to have had a “sobering effect” on the man in Kiev. In less polite terms, he crapped in his pants. That Burns had to meet Zelensky in person suggests that the American spymaster wanted to convey another, unreported message, a message that only Zelensky would hear and one that could not be taped at any cost.” – Finian Cunningham

Want to Know Where the Economy Is Going? Watch The Top 10% – Charles Hugh Smith

Why the Fed Is Bankrupt and Why That Means More Inflation – “Why Is the Fed Insolvent Now? A sizable part of the reason that the Fed has become insolvent in recent months (and almost certainly will be in 2023 overall) stems from the fact that since 2008, the Fed has bought up trillions of dollars in Treasury debt and mortgage-backed securities (MBSs). The Fed has done this to prop up the prices of real estate and government bonds (i.e., to subsidize Wall Street, banks, and the real estate industry.) Yet it bought these fixed-rate assets when interest rates were very low, and most of those assets have a maturity of over a year. That means that even as interest rates have risen in the past year, the Fed’s income from these assets has not risen sizably.” – Ryan McMaken

The Next Major Threat to Your Portfolio Just Arrived – “The data is finally beginning to register that a recession is at hand. I’ve been forecasting that the U.S. economy was in recession back in November. Leading indicators and the bond market made this clear. The yield curve has accurately predicted every recession since 1982. And it was SCREAMING that a recession was about to hit in the U.S. since mid-2022. As you can see in the chart below, the yield curve was more inverted than at any point in the last 40 years.” – Graham Summers, MBA

Here We Go Again! It’s Time for Another Debt Ceiling Fight – “Here we go again. The clock is ticking down to another US debt ceiling fight. According to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, the US government will officially bump up against the debt ceiling Thursday (Jan. 19). Make no mistake, Congress will raise the debt limit. It will posture. It will bluster. It will play a dramatic game of chicken. We might even have to endure another fake government shutdown. But when it’s all said and done, Republicans and Democrats will reach some kind of compromise.” – Michael Maharrey

The Day the Music Died – ““You’ll own nothing, and be happy.” Ha ha. I wonder if Schwab regrets saying that. The phrase caught on and Schwab has been inextricably linked to the expression. Sounds like something just about any of those WEF Cretans would say. I am pretty certain Schwab’s Best Boy Harari adores the concept. You can obviously see how demented anyone who seriously utters this is. You would have to be demented if you are thinking people would nod their head and exclaim “can’t wait!” Of course most of the world couldn’t care less what Klaus Schwab thinks. Most of the world doesn’t even know who he is, or what the WEF have planned for all of us. Take computer software and music for example. You no longer own either one. So what? Well, music and software (which is also largely rented now) is nothing compared to renting your home, your car, your clothes, your furniture, and whatever else you can think of that you at one time actually owned. But it is a start, and it is basically the way things now are. Again, so what? Well, if you peel off just a few layers, you will clearly see the “so what”…owning property is the first tenet of freedom, for one. And owning nothing certainly puts control into the hands of whomever it is who owns the thing you rent.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP  – GOOD READ FROM TODD ON HOW THEY START OFF SLOW AND SLOWLY CREEP INTO ALL ASPECTS OF TOUR LIFE!!!!

John Kerry praises WEF for being part of ‘select group of human beings’ who are ‘saving the planet’ – “The Biden administration climate czar told attendees that corporations need to be pushed to embrace the climate change agenda.

WEF Promotes Scientist Behind False “Billions Will Die” From Climate Change Claim – “Johan Rockström also promoted debunked “planetary boundaries” hypothesis. While the United Nations, Oxfam, and WWF embraced the hypothesis, it is so scientifically flawed and misleading to be junk science. There are, to be sure, real biophysical thresholds in the global climate system, and partly also for ocean acidification, ozone depletion, and phosphorous levels. But six of the “planetary boundaries” are not actually “boundaries” in any meaningful sense. As such, there are no “global tipping points” at which point various ecological processes stop functioning, or function in fundamentally different ways.” -Michael Shellenberger

It is a collection of territories of the Global American Empire run by provincial clodhoppers with no real power. Baiting the Russians into war served no European interests.

Sixty-two years later to date, here we are just as Eisenhower warned. The military has won, and We the People have lost.

Geraldo Embarrasses Himself and Fox With What He Just Said About AR-15s – ““What does AR stand for?” Gutfeld asked him. “Automatic rifle,” Rivera responded, getting it just ridiculously wrong. “No, that’s not what it is,” Gutfeld said. “All I know is is AR-15s have no place in American society, other than sport clubs,” Geraldo insisted. All you know is nothing, Geraldo, so what you know isn’t worth much, given you think they’re machine guns. “AR” in AR-15 doesn’t stand for automatic rifle, it stands for “Armalite Rifle.” It isn’t a machine gun, it’s an ordinary semi-automatic rifle that fires one bullet per trigger pull. But Geraldo is showing the incredible ignorance that much of the liberal media shows — they have no idea what they are talking about when it comes to guns. All they know is what the current talking point is — that AR-15s are evil and machine guns. You would think that in 2023, they would have educated themselves more. But they can’t be bothered with the truth when they’re more occupied with pushing the talking points. Unfortunately, it’s not just the liberal media like Geraldo who don’t know what they’re talking about when it comes to guns, it’s politicians and people involved in making policy and passing laws who are also equally as ignorant.” – Nick Arama  – AND THIS IS THE MAIN PROBLEM.

These agencies have continued to support gain-of-function research and are fast-tracking mRNA technology for other vaccines and medicines including a “universal flu vaccine.” Congress has authorized a boost in funding through the Omnibus bill and the National Defense Authorization Act of 2023 (NDAA) for the very entities responsible for the Covid catastrophe which has plagued the world.

The mainstream media of the collective West, in unison, will be spinning non-stop, for a week, all the “news” that are fit to print to extol new declinations of The Great Reset, re-baptized The Great Narrative, but actually framed as a benign offer by “stakeholder capitalism”. These are the main planks of the shady platform of a shady NGO registered in Cologny, a tony Geneva suburb. The list of Davos attendees was duly leaked.

Somewhere in its genesis and detection, XBB.1.5, the SARS-CoV-2 strain that is a recombinant Omicron subvariant, acquired a nickname: “the Kraken”. Yet while the nickname itself summons up the images of a mythic sea monster1, if the medical community is to be believed (a tall order, I realize!), XBB.1.5 got the nicknamed mainly as a goof. However, given the extent of hysterics and corporate media gaslighting over XBB.1.5, I propose changing its nickname to “Ingrid”.” – Peter Nayland Kust

The Apostles of Beria – “I’ll be honest, I’m not patriotic to the United States of America. I’m patriotic to the concept of individual rights and freedoms. When the United States of America was a vessel to carry those rights and freedoms to every American, I was patriotic to it. When it became hostile to those rights and freedoms, I stopped being patriotic to it. When it became hostile to those rights and freedoms, I stopped being patriotic to it. Where the United States of America has embraced an ideology in contravention of those principles, reaching more and more into the surveillance state and seeking every means of control, i.e., food distribution, energy rationing, electrical grid manipulation, capturing and enslaving children in indoctrination centers, the mind control and even genocide that has lately been exposed, I reject it completely and in every way.” – T.L. Davis

Total depravity – “Here’s what I’m wrestling with. By now it is abundantly clear that most people (upwards of 80%) just want to be told what to do. Okay fine, but there are LOTS of people one could obey — RFK Jr., one’s pastor, one’s personal trainer, Brené Brown, or the historical example of Gandhi, to name a few. However doing the right thing is NOT what excites most people. Rather, they want to be told what to do… so long as it is violent or evil. That’s where the frisson comes from and THAT’S what they want to obey.” – Toby Rogers

A Prison Where The Prisoners Don’t Know They’re In Prison – “You can tell we’re in a psychological prison because everyone’s getting crazier and crazier. Mental illness and addiction are soaring, there’s a mass shooting epidemic in the United States, and everyone’s feeling increasingly miserable and alienated. This is because we’re all propagandized to the gills. We’re acting like victims of psychological abuse because that’s what we are. We’ve spent our whole lives having our minds systematically pounded into a shape that makes us think, speak, act and vote in a way that benefits our rulers.” – Caitlin Johnstone

Lucid Summations When Tomorrow Is Today and MLK Day – “The United States is now, and has long been, as the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, the greatest purveyor of violence in the world. It is led by leaders possessed by a demonic spirit leading the world toward nuclear conflagration by initiating and waging war against Russia via Ukraine. It cares not a bit for all the dead and suffering victims of its policies there and around the world. Because he so passionately denounced the warmakers and fought for racial and economic justice, MLK, Jr. was murdered by the same government that later gave him a national holiday to hide its guilt. Most people in the U.S.A. do not care that this is true but wish to live their small-world lives, not thinking about it. Indifference reigns. Another holiday means more shopping at the sale counters.” – Edward Curtin

They continue to portray the country as a freedom-loving democracy, even though evidence continues to mount that it is nothing of the sort.

Such painful oversimplifications of a complex world would be bad enough even if Ukraine were a genuine democracy. The country, however, did not deserve that status even before the Russian invasion, and Kiev’s lurch toward systematic repression has grown much worse since the outbreak of that conflict.” – Ted Galen Carpenter

The nations speak, not the world, much less a private organization like the WEF and a privately funded organization like WHO. Globalists who speak in the name of the world have already pulled a fast one on us by appropriating a name that suggests that two private organizations speak for the world. Both of these organizations are in the process of acquiring this private authority over humanity.” – Paul Craig Roberts  – GOOD ARTICLE FROM DR. ROBERTS!!!!!

Too Wet? Too Dry? It’s All Climate Change! – “Climate change, as defined by the United Nations: “Refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. These shifts may be natural, such as through variations in the solar cycle.” That’s actually a good definition. But not willing to leave well enough alone, the UN goes further, spoiling a simple and straightforward definition with: “But since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas.” It is amazing that before humans burned fossil fuels two centuries ago, it was only natural cycles that changed the climate, not backyard barbecues, gas stoves, and SUVs. ” – Brian C.

Against the Tide – “So many calamities, quandaries, and mysteries swirl in the zeitgeist these days that life in the USA feels like swimming against a rising tide of poisoned guacamole. Nothing has been able to stop that green spewage from the political Left, especially as it desecrates our very language to turn everything up, down, and everything inside, outside. The outstanding feature of this political illness is the utter lack of accountability for gross insults against the public interest — that is, things that really matter. As Congresswoman Ilhan Omar once put it so obliquely, “some people did some things.” Former US attorney and chief-of-staff to the SecDef, Kash Patel, had a good idea: start with the latest insult to the country. Haul in the newly-appointed special counsel assigned to the “Joe Biden” purloined document scandal. His name is Robert Hur. He was a top aide to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein at the height of RussiaGate, and liaison to the Robert Mueller operation. He was not appointed to shed any light on the issue, but to bury it under a load of procedural horse-shit, in particular, the dodge that questions about “ongoing investigations” can’t be answered.” – James Howard Kunstler

Biden signs onto ‘Declaration of North America (DNA)’ with Canada and Mexico: Is the planned North American Union making a comeback? – “Joe Biden met last week in Mexico City with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador for the 10th North American Leaders’ Summit. The three leaders signed onto a document that appears to be a prelude to a North American Union, which the globalists talked a lot about during the George W. Bush presidency. It looks like the push toward a merger of the U.S., Canada and Mexico may be back on the front burner if this written declaration of intent is any indication. The document has attracted very little media attention since it was released on January 10, as the mainstream corporate press focuses instead on classified documents found in Biden’s office and home. When major news happens there’s almost always a misdirection play meant to divert our eyes. The North American leaders, dubbed the “Three Amigos,” committed their countries to six “pillars,” all of which were taken straight from United Nations documents Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030.” – Leo Hohmann

The Biden Scam Unravels – “Well now the classified document scandal has really blown up in Biden’s face. But even more-intriguing is that there is an apparent set of evidence of both hinky dealing and intentional cover-up to be found in Biden’s tax returns and the revelation that Hunter was paying Joe $50,000 a month to rent a house that was worth a couple of million. Hunter also claimed that said house was owned by him, but the tax and deed records say otherwise. That, however, is Hunter’s problem — not Joe’s. Joe’s tax return not only shows the property tax paid on the house it also deducts mortgage interest. It’s his house both by deed and by who’s covering the mandatory bills. Joe’s tax returns from the subject year shows business income from pass-throughs (two S corps) which is perfectly legal. The tax returns do not show income in that classification from other sources; ergo, said “rental” has to be inside one of those two corporations or there is a serious felony involved,” – Karl Denninger

Taxation=Theft – “Theft is defined as “the taking of another person’s property or services without that person’s permission or consent.” Almost invariably, governments pass tax laws and set tax rates without any consultation with the citizenry. Further, no final approval is sought by the citizenry that they consent to the tax or the rates. It is simply imposed. Most of us tend not to regard taxation as theft, yet, by definition, that’s exactly what it is. But some countries, notably the US, go further in disguising the theft, by stating that the payment of tax is “voluntary.” I personally am not aware of a single instance in which an individual or corporation decided not to pay a tax and, if discovered, was allowed to go unpunished.” – Jeff Thomas

The Elite’s Obsession with Achieving Total Financial Control – “Federal bureaucrats use proxies to stifle all kinds of activities they don’t like. The “Twitter Files” are revealing this tactic to a new wave of Americans, but it has been around a long time. If officials can replace the existing currencies with digital, programmable money, they will claim the power to dictate if, when, and where individuals can spend money as well as what they can spend it on. Those who question whether forces inside the federal government are actually pursuing such power may wish to review recent history around the Federal Reserve note “dollar.” The effort to control people by targeting their money escalated in 1970 with the Bank Secrecy Act. It targeted cash specifically by requiring banks to report transactions involving more than $10,000.” – Clint Siegner

Can Suing the Government, Pharmaceutical Industry, and Mainstream Media, End Tyranny? Absolutely Not! – “It should be obvious to most, but it is not, that all courts are in fact an arm of, and an integral part of the State. In fact, the courts are government, and therefore complicit in government crime. In order to gain redress from intentional or negligent harm due to government or government controlled, funded, or sponsored entities, the arbiter in every case against government is that same government. Could any more dangerous or discriminatory contradiction or conflict of interest exist? I think not, For all intent and purpose, the fake ‘covid’ fraud has not only left center stage, but has mostly been intentionally but temporarily disappeared. This does not mean that a return of this or another criminal false flag ‘pandemic’ plot will not be exploited in the future, as it probably will be, but currently, this fraud has been somewhat suspended. This particular part of the takeover plot has recently lost its luster, as more doubt the mainstream narrative. Suing the government or any government-protected fascist partners protected by state design, and in government courts, will not solve this tyrannical and totalitarian coup d’état being pursued by the technocratic ruling class and its puppets in government.” -Gary D.

Nancy Pelosi’s Other Legacy: A Mountain of Debt for Our Children – “Despite a surging national debt, the spending orgy continues in Washington. As far as political careers go, Pelosi’s has been a clear success. Yet as journalists write hagiographic portraits of her career, one aspect of Pelosi’s legacy has received little attention: the massive federal debt accumulated since she ascended to leadership in Washington. When Pelosi became minority leader in 2003, the national debt stood at $6.2 trillion. When she turned over the speaker’s gavel, the national debt stood at $31.5 trillion. In other words, about 80 percent of the debt accumulated in all of U.S. history was accrued since Pelosi ascended to a leadership position in Congress.” – Jon Miltimore

The Real Scandal Behind Joe Biden’s Classified Documents Scandal – “Things get a lot worse when Hunter Biden enters the picture, and with this classified documents scandal, he has now entered the picture like the Kool-Aid man. Here, we have a probable criminal in Hunter Biden claiming on a background form that he owned Joe Biden’s house at the time when it was doubling as illegal storage for classified documents. But when you look at the form, things go from bad to worse. For some reason, Hunter Biden claimed that he was paying $49,910 in rent for Joe Biden’s Delaware residence. The house itself is only worth $2,000,000 in today’s market (and was built for a fraction of that). Why was Hunter Biden paying $49,910 in rent to his father? Where did all that money go? There’s been a lot of speculation about how Biden’s son, who is currently facing a criminal investigation for tax fraud, may have funneled cash to his father.

Why Didn’t Biden Just Burn Those Classified Documents? – “Or is there something else that we do not yet know about? Something that led to the judgment that the current limit hangout of some dirty linen is better than to have a real scandal come to the public’s knowledge.

For Biden Supporters, No Lie Is Too Much To Break The Faith – “Media members and Biden supporters, even seeing the lies they’ve been told completely exposed, does not stop the blind love affair.

Through it all, media members and other Biden supporters keep getting played for fools, but they always come back for more.” – Jeff M. Lewis

Innocence Doesn’t Matter When the Government Wants to Steal Your Money – “There’s a fault line permeating America’s criminal justice system—a built-in defect that the government can use to steal your property, even if you’re innocent. And many Americans don’t even know about it. In fact, federal, state, and local governments seize countless Americans’ property using a law called civil asset forfeiture, which allows government agencies to take, keep, and profit from someone’s money and other possessions without even charging them with a crime, much less convicting them of one. ” – Joe Setyon  – JOHN WHITEHEAD HAS WRITTEN ABOUT THIS A FEW TIMES,.

Default Tsunami – “After about seven years, the average new car is worth less than half what it sold for new. As of the third quarter of last year, says the credit reporting apparat Experian, almost 20 percent of all new car loans issued were for seven years – and 11 percent of all used car loans. The latter being the more interesting of the two data points since the value of a used car after seven years is probably less than balance still due on the loan by then. And probably sooner. This means there are apt to be a lot defaults on used car loans coming since it’s not economically rational to continue making payments on something that’s not worth making payments on.” – Eric Peters

Americans Don’t Realize They’re Being Cooked – “We are frogs wallowing blissfully in a pot of fatally warming water. We boil gradually away, unaware… comfortable… arrogant… and ignorant. That is, we the American people have grown so accustomed to the warmth enwombing us — and for so long — we are incapable of detecting the ratcheting heat. We will never jump the pot. We are simply too comfortable inside it. We refer specifically and unequivocally to the warming water of the American fiscal setting. The nation is spending itself into hot water. “Entitlement” spending — the quote marks are necessary — account for much of the warming. $101 billion more than even last year! Can you believe it? What do the American people receive for the extra $101 billion? Additional debt and an increase of the debt-to-GDP ratio. Beyond that, very little we suspect.” – Brian Maher

Your head is there to move you around
If wishes were trees, the trees would be falling
Listen to reason, season is calling

THE BIG PICTURE NEWS

The Gas Stove Scare Is A Fraud Created By Climate Change Authoritarians – “In the past I have often tried to take a big picture approach to the issues facing the American public and how there is almost always a deeper connection between a variety of political and economic events. And, what has become increasingly clear to me is that in order to understand government actions and geopolitics, you must always ask yourself “Who benefits?” The bottom line is this – At the heart of nearly every conflict and every crisis the same group of power mongers usually benefits, and they have taken a keen interest in the climate change narrative in particular.” – Brandon Smith

Tangled webs and minions – “Um…Is anybody else out there starting to feel sorry for the globalists? I’m just starting to feel very sad for these poor bastard globalists. It’s almost as if We the People must gently take them by the hands and sit them down and explain that we understand they thought they were doing the best thing for us all but that they’re coming across as warmongers, divisive hypocrites, patriarchal dictators, confused fools, horrific diplomats, avaricious predators, mostly rich old white men at the very top, and elitist psychopaths living in a cultish bubble world. Or they are pawns to the banksters who really messed us all up in the first place. I’m not saying that is what they are, but certainly they’re coming across very frequently as not nice people.” – Sylvia Shawcross  – GOOD READ AS USUAL FROM SYLVIA!!!

We Must Have The Truth – “On April 2, 2020, a paddle boarder was chased by authorities and taken into custody. This event should have caused unanimous outrage over the absurdity of what happened – law enforcement arrested a lone paddle boarder on Santa Monica Bay for the crime of “flouting coronavirus closures.” The paddler’s arrest was an early indication that something had changed in our country. A “new normal” was spawning from the chaotic, unscientific, politicized pandemic messaging mainly coming from biased news media and the once venerable Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Dr. Anthony Fauci.” – Pat Fidopiastis

Red Alert: Pharma Plots to Inject Livestock With mRNA ‘Vaccines,’ Likely to End up in Food Supply – Ben Bartee

Right or Wrong, I am Sticking with What I Believe – “What is it with this oddly stoic response from the “sheep side” of this debate? I am hearing more and more sentiments such as: “I don’t care if you are right, I am sticking with my stance.” What is that all about? Like a captain of a ship, defeated in battle, ship sinking, standing at the bridge, sword drawn, “damn you bastards! I am going down with my ship!” And sure enough he does. Shark food. The sheep are not the enemy. They may have had weaknesses that make them responsible for this shite show, but they didn’t create it, and they got nothing for being loyal to their puppet masters, that’s for sure. These poor folks are our brothers and our sisters. We are ready to welcome them back to the human race with open arms, but that is impossible if they continue to swear their allegiance to the enemy.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

Sic Transit Gloria COVID – “Will The HHS Finally End The Public Health Emergency? With little fanfare, HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra extended yet again the Public Health Emergency Declaration regarding COVID-19.

How Many Sudden Deaths Are too Many? – “Jabbed individuals comprise the vast majority of deaths attributed to flu/covid. The unjabbed are profoundly safer. Claims that dispute the above reality are false. Likely with ties to Pharma, sources making them are lying. Since kill shots were rolled out over two years ago, everyone jabbed was irreparably harmed. Millions died, some suddenly, others later on. NFL player Damar Hamlin’s collapse from cardiac arrest after making a routine tackle was viewed by millions on national television as it happened. It was, or should have been, a wake-up call for everyone aware of what happened about the health-destroying hazards of kill shots. Most all NFL players were jabbed for flu/covid. Hamlin was reportedly booster-jabbed in December. There’s no ambiguity about the cause of his collapse — despite all-out efforts to suppress it. Home recuperating, he survived a near-death experience.” – Stephen Lendman

“The American people want a solemn ass as a President.” – “It was late in the evening on August 2, 1923 when Vice President Calvin Coolidge heard a knock on the door. He was visiting his family home in Vermont, where there was no phone service, or even electricity. So the White House had sent an official messenger to relay the news that President Warren Harding had suddenly died of a heart attack. The next morning he returned to Washington, DC to survey the mess. The Interior Secretary had been taking bribes. A Veterans Bureau director was embezzling funds. A close friend of Harding had been selling access to the White House, but was later found dead. Corrupt FBI agents were on the payroll of illegal bootleggers. People were disgusted. And the public’s trust in government plummeted to levels not seen since the Civil War. To complicate matters even more, Congress was coming apart at the seams with plenty of infighting among the parties. Coolidge, nevertheless, got to work and tried to repair the damage. He methodically dealt with his predecessor’s scandals, fired all those involved, and assisted in prosecuting them.” – Simon Black – SOUNDS KIND OF LIKE NOW, DOESN’T IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is Biden Being Blackmailed to Send US Combat Troops to Ukraine? – “Biden previously rejected the idea of sending troops to Ukraine acknowledging that it would be tantamount to launching a Third World War. But as the ‘classified documents’ scandal gains momentum, the malleable president will likely fall-in-line and do whatever the hawkish foreign policy establishment demands of him. In short, the documents flap is being used by behind-the-scenes powerbrokers who are blackmailing the president to pursue their own narrow interests. They have Brandon over-a-barrel.” – Mike Whitney

Guido Goldman, the CFR and the German Marshall Fund – “As Kissinger’s International Seminar was revealed to be a CIA-funded program, the elites of the CFR hatched a plan to create a new organization to train young global leaders.

Will China Force the U.S. to Restore Gold as Money? – “In response to the U.S. government’s weaponization of the dollar through such measures as sanctions and trade wars, China, along with Russia and other nations, are making efforts to dethrone the dollar as the world’s international reserve currency. For example, Russia and China are now using the Chinese yuan, rather than the dollar, for payment for Russian oil. Saudi Arabia is now talking about doing the same thing. One of the interesting aspects of this process involves gold.” – Jacob G. Hornberger

This is taxpayer money that is not buying anything or investing in anything of value. It is just money to finance the debt.” – Schiff Gold

Standard of Living vs. Quality of Life – “If we search the roots of conflicts, social collapses, and even many non-natural disasters, we’ll find an economic distortion or bust.

That’s because the systems supporting a complex civilization are based on economy, finance, and trading. When those crack or stumble, everything else follows.” – Fabian Ommar

Glug Glug, Gurgle Gurgle – ” You thought the Titanic sinking was an astounding spectacle? Looks like the ship of the Deep State got some holes ripped in its hull and may be fixing to go down sometime in 2023. The fun-and-games about voting for Speaker of the House are over. Time to get down to bidness and compel some folks to do some ‘splainin’ under oath. Forget about Fauci for the moment. First, subpoena the various deputies working under him going back as far as the twentieth century and see what they know about the twisted path that gain-of-function research on corona viruses traveled from the DOD’s DARPA to the labs of Dr. Ralph Baric at the U of North Carolina, to labs in Canada, Ukraine, and finally to Wuhan Institute of Virology in China. Time for FBI Director Christopher Wray to ‘splain’ how come he sat silently in possession of the Hunter Biden laptop — stuffed as it was with deal memoranda about payoffs from Ukraine and other foreign lands..

Will You Beat Uncle Sam’s Relentless Pursuit of Your Wealth? – “The United States is lurching towards an epic financial catastrophe. This isn’t a novel insight. The great tragedy has been in the works for decades. Anyone with a mild inkling of curiosity knows what’s going on. Presently, the U.S. national debt is over $31.4 trillion. Factor in unfunded liabilities – such as social security, Medicare parts A, B, and D, federal debt held by the public, and federal employee and veteran benefits – and the number jumps to $173.5 trillion. That comes to over $519,000 per citizen. These debts won’t magically disappear. However, they won’t be directly paid either. Simple arithmetic doesn’t allow it. But they will be paid, nonetheless.

Yes, I’m talking about the “Covid Twitter Files,” which are finally being released to the public, in almost textbook limited-hangout fashion. The part you release is the “limited hangout.” It’s not a lie. It’s just not the whole story. You “hang it out” so that it will become the whole story, and thus stop people from pursuing the whole story. All right, so, you’re probably asking, if the “Covid Twitter Files” are a limited hangout, what’s the whole story that they’re distracting us from? Let me try to refresh your memory. All right, so … the “Covid Twitter Files,” or the “Fauci Files,” or whatever we’re calling them. If you wanted to bury the actual story with a limited hangout and discredit those of us who have been trying to report it for nearly three years, you couldn’t do any better than Elon Musk is doing. Instead of a story about how the entire global-capitalist power apparatus coordinated with global IT corporations like Twitter, Facebook, Google, et al., to conduct a global Gleichschaltung op the scale of which Goebbels could have never dreamed of, censoring and visibility-filtering dissent and enforcing the official pandemic narrative, not just in the USA, but in countries all throughout the world … instead of that monumental story, we are getting The Alex Berenson Show!” – CJ Hopkins

Do Your Civic Duty – “I think that stoic spirit is still in the North American soul. It might not be as keen as it was 80 years ago, but you certainly can see remnants of it today. Unfortunately, if there is any spirit left, it is being manipulated through deceit and deception. But are Americans and Canadians really suffering all that much due to Covid? I think the unvaxxed are suffering quite a bit more. But what about the sheep? I think they think they are going with the flow and taking it all on the chin. And although Covid may be terrifying to them in many ways, I think they feel they are doing a good job rolling with the punches. And now, after their great Herculean effort wearing masks, staying away from people in the grocery store, getting jabbed five times (actually, I don’t think the jabbing was ever difficult for sheep), struggling through business closures (not for the actual business owners, THAT was a real struggle) they believe they are being rewarded for their efforts—Covid has left the building—mostly.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

Kemp, who recently won re-election over far-left Democrat Stacey Abrams, will be in Davos along with the likes of Democrat governors Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan and J.B. Pritzker of Illinois.

Don’t Trust the Government with Your Privacy, Property or Your Freedoms – “Don’t trust the government with your privacy, digital or otherwise. In the two decades since 9/11, the military-security industrial complex has operated under a permanent state of emergency that, in turn, has given rise to a digital prison that grows more confining and inescapable by the day. Wall-to wall surveillance, monitored by AI software and fed to a growing network of fusion centers, render the twin concepts of privacy and anonymity almost void. By conspiring with corporations, the Department of Homeland Security “fueled a massive influx of money into surveillance and policing in our cities, under a banner of emergency response and counterterrorism.”” – John & Nisha Whitehead

The Constitution Failed.

Accordingly, they believe that any means necessary are justified to stop him. And furthermore, these zealots, when out of power, insist such extraordinary measures should not be emulated and institutionalized by their opponents, much less ever boomeranged back upon their creators.” – Victor Davis Hanson

Biden’s ‘Surprise’ Grows With Reported Discovery of Second Batch of Classified Documents – ” Biden is not the only one who appears hopelessly conflicted. With the reported discovery of a second batch of highly classified documents connected to President Biden, the decisions of Attorney General Merrick Garland are fast moving from the inexplicable to incomprehensible. Garland was presumably briefed that classified documents were discovered in Joe Biden’s old office on Nov. 2. He also presumably knew about the Biden documents when he appointed a special counsel to investigate the classified documents at Mar-a-Lago 16 days later. President Biden, meanwhile, is feigning ignorance, simply saying he was “surprised” the documents were there. By not discussing the content of the documents, Biden minimizes his vulnerability to charges of obstruction or false statements. He can simply declare “surprise,” knowing that many in the media will welcome his silence as they spin the scandal.” – Jonathan Turley

The social friction created by denying the right to freely associate (for some) has created incalculable social friction and resentment – the latter entirely justified.

If any Illinois resident is feeling safer this morning because of the new gun control measures imposed by Democrats, they’re deluding themselves.

Normalizing Servitude – “There is no end to the humiliation and degradation of those who believe we still live in a constitutional republic. We do not. The sooner folks understand that the United States of America of their youth is gone, consumed by the voracious appetite for power and control of the communists a long time ago, the better. The average American believes that this is not a communist country, because they don’t understand that a permit to build is asking permission from the government to do something with one’s own property. They don’t understand the whole part of “property” which precludes the need to ask anyone anything about it. The very concept of property taxes is communist and anyone who benefits from it, or helps to collect it is also a communist. Anyone willing to force, at the point of a gun, someone off of property they’ve paid every cent to acquire from the previous owner, so the government can sell it and keep the money is also a communist. There is no private property when property tax is collected, that’s all government property that one leases back from the government, even if one has the title to it, the deed.” – T.L. Davis  – GREAT POINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

America’s Animal Farm – “Too many look at the barbed wire surrounding them and assume that life must always be endured behind the government’s enclosure. Ordinary people have extraordinary power.

Or a sizable percentage of the population refuses to obey arbitrary and capricious government orders. When citizens become fed up enough to take matters into their own hands, those with government-bestowed titles learn quickly how little power those vaunted titles actually have.” – J.B. Shurk

Reparations For All? – “A majority of the white ethnicities, such as the French Huguenots, the Irish, the Scots, and others, came to the original colonies to escape oppression and persecution. Some came as slaves. English debtors were sold into indentured servitude to cover their debts. The notion of Woke white liberals that only blacks were enslaved is historical ignorance. There were more white slaves in history than black. Arab slave traders raided the coastal cities of Italy and France. Arabs captured Americans off of merchant ships, causing the Founding Fathers to send the US Marines to the shores of Tripoli. Why are only black descendants of former slaves entitled to reparations? The white American liberals have concocted a fiction that only white Americans are responsible for slavery. The truth of the matter is that white Americans have no responsibility for slavery.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Biden’s ‘think tank’ received $54.6 million from anonymous Chinese donors – “Almost every media pundit focused on the mishandling of classified information, but there was another shocking revelation in this story that went largely ignored. It began with the astounding disclosure that Joe Biden, who is among the least thoughtful men in the U.S., founded and runs a think tank. It seems utterly unfathomable that Biden would lead a group whose function is to conduct ‘research, analysis, and commentary on America’s place in the world and the global forces that impact our national security, democratic institutions, and foreign policy.’ Biden can’t even get what country he’s in straight.

China: Death of a Dream – “The China reopening story is the most powerful market narrative going on today. At least for now, it’s more powerful than any Fed analysis, the prospect of a recession, and even lower energy prices in terms of what’s driving investor behavior. Of course, the key word is “narrative.” The Chinese economy is failing because of excessive debt, the collapse of the real estate sector, decoupling from the U.S., the cut-off of high-tech imports to China, and a demographic collapse worse than the Black Death. So don’t be fooled — the new decision to let the virus rip through the population will not end China’s economic malaise. China’s economy may already be in a recession, which is a shock for the world’s second-largest economy and the “factory of the world.” The narrative surrounding the China reopening rally may continue for a while, despite these fundamental weaknesses.” – Jim Rickards

The Digitization Of Humanity Shows Why The Globalist Agenda Is Evil – “Now, the media is admitting that yes, perhaps the globalists do have more than just a little influence over governments, social policies and economic outcomes. But, what the mainstream doesn’t like is the assertion that globalists have nefarious or authoritarian intentions. That’s just crazy tinfoil hat talk, right? The reason for the narrative shift is obvious. Far too many people witnessed the true globalist agenda in action during the pandemic lockdowns and now they see the conspiracy for what it is. The globalists, in turn, seem to have been shocked to discover many millions of people in opposition to the mandates and the refusals to comply were clearly far greater than they expected. They are still trying to push their brand of covid fear, but the cat is out of the bag now.” – Brandon Smith

Roads Are Racist – “according to the Roads Are Racist narrative, which argues that the Interstate Highway System in particular was not meant to make it “easy to get anywhere” – but rather to make it easy for whites to get away from blacks. And – in the process – leave blacks “behind” in the bypassed ghettoes of the inner cities. The downtown areas of big cities such as Detroit, Chicago and Baltimore have become blighted wastelands, it’s true. Full of boarded-up homes interspersed with liquor stores here and there – and derelicts everywhere. But this did not happen because the roads were built. It happened because the cities became shitholes.” – Eric Peters

We’ve Been Dominated By Narrative Control Since The Dawn Of Civilization – “Where as hunter-gatherers humans were only organizing in groups of a few dozen, with the ability to settle and build things we began congregating in villages and cities of hundreds or thousands. Once you’re dealing with human groups of that size with sustenance coming from farmlands and livestock, the animal impulses of hunger, thirst and safety are no longer complex enough to determine the way those humans are going to be behaving from day to day. Copious amounts of language will now be needed. Agreements. Protocols. Rules. Etiquette. How is the civilization planned out? How are decisions made? Who does the work? How are resources allocated? How are children conceived and raised? From here you can already see how the possibility of abuse is opening up. Someone’s going to be doing the work.

Nah, this isn’t a serious gun control measure, it’s just more of the same political theater that makes the people of this state continue to wait on hold for an available U-Haul truck.” – – Robert Cruz  – GOOD OP-ED FROM OAK LAWN ILLINOIS. WE ALL KNOW THAT CRIMINALS WON’T BE REGISTERING ANY GUNS. ALL THIS NEW PROPOSED LAW WILL DO, IF PASSED AS IS,  WILL PUNISH LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AND RESTRICT THEIR RIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As Vice President Joe Biden Took Classified Documents from White House to Private Office Storage in Washington DC – “According to multiple media reports, it was discovered a week prior to the midterm election that Joe Biden had removed classified documents from his term as Vice-President to a private office in the Penn Biden Center.  It should be noted that as vice-president Joe Biden held no declassification authority, so removal of the classified material is a much larger breech than the claimed comparison to President Trump declassifying documents and taking them to Mar-a-Lago.” – Sundance

Scandal Alert: Biden lawyers found classified material at Biden’s former office – “If the FBI actually stood for the grand claims that A.G. Garland made and had uniformity in enforcing the laws, all of Biden’s homes and offices would have been raided and meticulously scrutinized for classified documents. But that won’t happen. We can be sure that Biden will never suffer consequences for his actions. The worst-case scenario is one of Biden’s staffers will be blamed and Biden will pardon the official later. In fact, it is quite surprising that the agencies even revealed these discoveries.” – Rajan Laad  – WHERE ARE THE RAIDS ON BIDEN’S HOMES, LIKE THEY RAIDED MAR-A-LAGO!!!!!!

Public Safety Under Attack as Biden Releases Criminal Migrants – “The Biden administration has cut deportation by 70%. The Democratic Party just doesn’t want to admit that there is a border crisis with massive illegal immigration — despite the news reports, the rise in crime, and Republican officials begging for help from the Biden administration.” – Kelli Ballard

It’s Raining Cats and Dogs in California—but What Happens to All That Water? – “The question is, with billions of gallons dropping out of the sky, where does all that water go? Shouldn’t this be enough to end the drought and leave us with oodles of H2O? Turns out, the answer lies in bad planning, wasted resources and bureaucratic entanglements. Why do I say that? Because most of this water will fly down the LA River and into the ocean, an ephemeral visitor that we fail to capture or effectively utilize. In effect, God is giving us the very answer to one of California’s most vexing problems—and we’re simply letting it slip through our hands.” – Bob Hoge

The Luciferian Roots of the FBI (VIDEO) with Matt Eheret – “The FBI was born under the Teddy Roosevelt administration when Congress would not give his Attorney General the secret permanent police force he was demanding. J. Edgar Hoover (the Scottish Rite Masons’ most honored member, second only to Albert Pike who proudly proclaimed their god, Lucifer is the god of good and light that fights against the evil God of the Christians who is against humanity) worked diligently to commit atrocities against the American people from the start.” – The Revealing

Vladimir Putin Gives ‘Full Support’ to Lula da Silva After Brazil Riots – John Hayward

The Survival Problem – “We have a bit of a test case in the Brazil unrest. The crazies have hated Bolsonaro since he first turned up on the scene. At first, they hated him because he opposed the left-wing Lula da Silva. Now they hate him because he was nice to Trump, which made him Hitler Junior. The thing is, Lula is clearly worse for the American regime than Bolsonaro. A few minutes looking at his career makes that clear. When he was in office, he was not very friendly toward America, preferring to align with China and Russia.” – The Z Man

Predictions 1: War – “My prediction is that NATO will -try to- expand/widen/deepen the Ukraine conflict in 2023, and not just a little. They have to, because Ukraine as a theater is failing, no matter how much additional weaponry they import into it. And because Ukraine is running out of -under 65- boots on the ground. For some reason the US dragged two of their biggest old warmongers out of their respective proverbial basements: former US Defense Secretary Robert Gates’ and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Who co-wrote this in the WaPo: Time Is Not On Ukraine’s Side” – Raúl Ilargi Meijer

Will 2023 be Worse Than 2022? “Stepping into World War III” – “Is Joe Biden willing to destroy the world to “weaken Russia”? Even though one has become accustomed to seeing the United States government behaving irrationally on an epic scale with no concern for what happens to the average citizen who is not a member of one of the freak show constituencies of the Democratic Party, it is still possible to be surprised or even shocked. Or even better the advice from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)’s “nuclear detonation planning guide” that for everyday citizens in a city that has been nuked: “Get inside, stay inside, and stay tuned.” Dr. Ron Paul asks “Are they insane? They act as if a nuclear attack on the United States is just another inconvenience to plan for, like an ice storm or a hurricane.”” – Philip Giraldi

A Ticking Time Bomb: Rising Consumer Debt and Rising Interest Rates – “Over the last several months, consumer debt has climbed at a steep, steady pace as Americans struggle with rising prices.

Global Politics – the future, and how much instability will feed into markets? – “Political instability is turning into a global competition as Bolsonaro supporters storm Brazil’s Government, the CCP reopen China’s Borders to chaos, and the US Speaker deals with political hi-jackers to secure his seat. All will have consequences and should make markets nervous.” – Bill Blain

Nine Days Into 2023, and Gold Is Already Blowing Experts Away – Peter Reagan

As the Dollar Falls, Metals Will Rise – “Precious metals did well compared to other assets in 2023, but not as well as many goldbugs expected given the highest price inflation in decades. The anemic price action was another indication of artificial forces in the markets and broken price discovery. Trading algorithms were not programmed to buy metal when prices rise for real world goods and services. They responded instead to the dollar’s strength or weakness in the foreign exchange markets.” – Clint Siegner

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY NEWS

New Year, New Plans – “If there’s anything the last few years should have taught us, it’s that things are never as they seem. The most glaring example of that is that after thinking about and preparing for a pandemic, when it came, it wasn’t like any of us expected. We can say the same for just about every problem we’ve encountered the last few years, especially the supply line shortages that we’re still dealing with. One of the habits I have, which we all should, is to take the time for an AAR or ‘after action review’ if every disaster I encounter, whether I am directly affected by it or not.” – Bill White

Can Turmeric Cure Cancer? – “The main active ingredient in turmeric is curcumin or diferuloyl methane. Laboratory studies have shown curcumin has anti cancer effects on cancer cells. Why people with cancer use it Some laboratory studies on cancer cells have shown that curcumin has anti cancer effects. It seems to be able to kill cancer cells and prevent more from growing. Curcumin is being looked at in clinical trials and some of the results have been promising. Larger studies are needed. At the moment there is no clear evidence in humans to show that turmeric or curcumin can prevent or treat cancer.” – Amy S.
