THE BIG PICTURE
Mercy To The Wicked, Cruelty To The Righteous – “Actions have consequences. This is both a scientific truth and a moral proposition. We know that if we throw a large stone into a pond there will be waves and ripples. We know that those who commit crimes are subject to sanction by the law. Scientifically, this is both the theory and the reality. Morally, however, all too often it is not. At least, it does not seem to be.” – Peter Nayland Kust
Off the Grid – “When people talk about “getting off the grid,” the image that usually springs to my mind is the full-on pioneer fantasy: selling the house, buying 40 acres in the bush, installing solar panels, drilling a well, raising chickens, and growing enough potatoes to survive the next ice age. I envy those people. Honestly, I do. But let’s be real—most of us aren’t cut out for that level of commitment, and most of us don’t need to be -— yet. At least for a little while, we can probably muddle along semi-attached to the system—still buying groceries at Loblaws, paying the hydro bill to whatever soulless utility now owns it, and calling an ambulance if we get flattened by a Tesla. But after what happened to me this morning—for the umpteenth time—I’ve come to understand “off the grid” in an entirely different, far more urgent way. It no longer means geographical escape. It means digital and bureaucratic escape. It means refusing to let the Machine feed on my time, my sanity, and my personal data one byte at a time.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP – ANOTHER GOOD ONE FROM TODD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The dancing nurses videos – an update. – “The more you think about these, the darker it all looks. This is especially the case since (it seems to me) many or most of the more elaborate videos look like they were AI-generated. If that was the case, then someone must have commissioned them, paid for their creation, edited them, arranged for their distribution and so on.” – Jonathan Engler.
They’re Hunting Christians Like Animals and You Don’t Even Know It’s Happening If you think the violent persecution of Christians ended in Rome – think again. We crowdfund mission trips that look suspiciously like vacations. We rally around celebrities who face mild criticism for their religious beliefs. But a teenage girl held captive for seven years because she wouldn’t deny Jesus? That barely registers. We scroll past her story to watch cat videos and argue about worship music styles. The comparison should nauseate you. It nauseates me. One Christian Murdered Every Three Hours” – 🐺The Wise Wolf and Lily-Rose Dawson
Trump buys millions in Boeing bonds while awarding it contracts – “He also bought upwards of $5 million in Intel bonds after announcing the US government was buying a 10% stake in the company” – Nick Cleveland-Stout – HMM, ISN’T THAT KIND OF LIKE INSIDER TRADING. GUESS IT DEPENDS WHO YOU ARE, TRUMP, PELOSI, POLITICIANS IN GENERAL. THAT’S JUST ONE OF THE REASON THEY ALL ARE RICHER AFTER LEAVING POLITICS. YOU AND I WOULD BE IN JAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I Were the Devil by Paul Harvey – Original 1965 Broadcast (VIDEO) – “In 1965, Mr. Harvey broadcast “If I Were the Devil.” Although it has been over a half a century since the broadcast, Mr. Harvey’s words describe our current times well.” – Brad Dison – LINKED THIS WHEN I FIRST STARTED THIS SITE BACK IN 2016. WAS LINKED ON 08/1916. THE LINK THEN IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. HERE’S A DIFFERENT ONE. A MUST LISTEN AUDIO FROM 1965. MY COMMENT THEN WAS: “PRETTY WELL SUMS UP WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO AMERICA”!!!!!
The TOP SECRET Plan to Enslave You (REVEALED!!!) – ” What is this plan called, you ask? Where did you find it? Don’t ask such things! We don’t have time for that! All you need to know is that this is a covert, occulted, never-before-seen 10-step plan. And, as you can see, they—who? ugggh! I just told you not to ask questions!—have almost completed its implementation: So, let’s see how this plan is going, shall we?” – James Corbett
Bioterror Roundup: Vaccine Evangelists Go Ape Over Revised CDC Autism Position – “All of which is to say: not only should these people enjoy a large glass of “shut the fuck up” juice, they ought to be grateful they’re not all rotting in prison, which is where they belong, if not under it. Instead, they insist on maintaining the façade of scientific and moral authority when they have none.” – Ben Bartee
President Trump Claims We Need More AI Data Centers to Keep Up with China – “The truth? America already has more data centers than the rest of the world combined. We are not losing the race – we’re lapping the field. [1] [2] Let’s do the math: China has 1.42 billion people USA has 347 million people (China has ~4× more people) USA has 5,426 data centers China has only 449. Simple way to say it: The average American is 50 times more likely to have a data center “nearby” than the average Chinese. President Trump wants even more AI data centers and he wants to Super-Size them into water and electricity guzzling mega monsters. This will make Big Tech and the Federal Government even more powerful and centralized – FASCISM.” – Patti Johnson

Trump Begins New Phase of Venezuela Escalations…but Is It Just a Ruse? – “Buried beneath the theater of the Ukraine war’s terminal crescendos, Trump’s administration has quietly tightened the noose around Venezuela. As standard to the neocon Uniparty, this comes only a week or two after DNI Tulsi Gabbard somewhat surreally boasted that this administration heralds the end of “regime change” operations: How absurd can the mounting hypocrisies of the terminally-mad empire get before they runneth over?” – Simplicius
What Is a Lawful Order? And Does Putin “Own” Trump? – “The U.S. is supposed to be a constitutional republic where the law of the land applies equally to all. We are far from that today. We are more of a corporatist-imperialist enterprise in which the “law” of the land is full-spectrum dominance and the unbridled pursuit of profit. In this land, a “lawful” order may indeed be what powerful entities say it is, irrespective of the Constitution and international law. And Trump may know this grim reality better than almost anyone.” – Bill Astore
Why Did She Quit? – “Marjorie Taylor Greene has suddenly decided to leave Congress – just days after being called a “traitor” by the president she supported relentlessly for the past several years. Including the years after the election that was engineered to replace him. She perhaps thought it might do some good to see him re-elected. She has changed her mind – along with probably half (maybe more) of the people who voted for Trump and got something else. Well, who let themselves believe they were going to get something else. Who put out of their minds his atrocious enabling of the pushing of drugs on Americans – which he continues to insist “saved millions of lives.”” – Eric Peters
Marjorie Taylor Greene Resigns from Congress – “The American people have lost a rare voice that spoke for them. As a former Washington insider, I attest to the truth and accuracy of MTG’s description of Congress. Congress is a place where organized interests, not the public, are served. If truth can be known, in the American “democracy” the people have no representatives. Congress represents Israel, the military/security complex, Big Pharma . ” – Paul Craig Roberts – THIS IS THE ARTICLE, IT’S ALL DR. ROBERTS HAD TO SAY AND HE’S RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From the Back Forty: Trump Shows How It’s Done – “Did anyone have Zohran and Donald on their 2025 Bingo card? A Muslim, an expert troll, and a blond walk into a Swamp bar and tell the old guard to back off. In classic new political norms, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has decided to take her whiplash energy and go home; New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has a sit-in with President Trump in the Oval Office; and rumors are circulating that the old Bush dynasty is attempting a party palace coup. What a week it has been in American politics.” – Sarah Cowgill
Trump Man Crushes With New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani At White House, Says ‘I Look Forward To Rooting Out Antisemitism’ – “Trump said, “I can tell you, some of my views have changed” about Mamdani. However, as The WinePress pointed out several weeks ago, Mamdani is far from a Sharia Muslim as he is well-funded and voted for by Jewish groups in the city, along with Alex Soros, the son of Jewish Democratic donor George Soros.” – The WinePress – WHEN IT COMES TO APPEASING ISRAEL, IT DOESN’T MATTER WHICH PART YOU ARE WITH. THEY’VE GOT BOTH SIDES COVERED!!!!
MAGAQUAKE! Trump demolishes MAGA and in so doing…..the Wrecking Ball-in-Chief has given rise to the America First Movement – “What was entirely predictable about Trump’s MAGA meltdown — WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF HIS SECOND TERM — is that, in light of his much higher priority MIGA agenda, his Khazarian masters and Zionist handlers had no choice but to execute this MAGA controlled demolition post-haste. After all, the MIGA business has got to be conducted according to a very strict biblical timeframe” – An Armchair Political Analyst / State of the Nation
SUDAN Peacebuilding Through US & UK NGO Coups – “Bin Salman asked Trump to stop the war in Sudan. Why? Because it is fueled by our government. Peacebuilding is a racket. It is a coalition of Mafia pundits siphoning $Trillions from western coffers under a fake ideology for the sole purpose of keeping Africa in chaos. While engulfed in said chaos, western nations rape their resources to elevate finances of the Elite/Black Nobility which requires Taxpayer tithes in the realm of 50% to maintain this NGO anarchy tapestry functioning. And Trump is not going to dismantle this NGO because he is a part of it and relies on them for Gaza dismantling. But Trump has now made a contingent promise to Saudi Arabia’s Bin Salman.” – Helena Glass
‘Complete lawlessness’: Critics slam mayor as Loop mob attack and shootings shock Chicago – “Voices across Chicago and the nation expressed alarm on Saturday after two shootings in the Loop following the city’s annual Christmas tree lighting left a 14-year-old boy dead and eight other people, nearly all juveniles, wounded. Officials said officers arrested 18 people and recovered five firearms during what authorities described as widespread mayhem in the downtown area after the ceremony. The reaction from retired Riverside Police Chief Tom Weitzel was scathing as he painted images of “escalating violence” and “complete lawlessness” in Chicago. “Despite claims that crime is being reduced, violent crime is spiraling out of control. The mayor and his team are deflecting instead of protecting. “” – Tim Hecke
Chicago’s Revolving Door Of Doom: 72 PRIOR ARRESTS Revealed For Train Torcher – “Fresh court revelations have ripped the scab off Chicago’s festering wound of criminal coddling. The 50-year-old predator accused of dousing a 26-year-old woman with gasoline and igniting her on a Blue Line train this week had racked up at least 72 prior arrests before this horrifying crime. Why was this monster ever free to stalk the streets?” – Steve Watson

Today, we are living the decline of developed economies’ fiat currencies in real time. ” – Daniel Lacalle

London’s Silver Shortage Could Lead To Banking Crisis (VIDEO) with David Jensen – “David Jensen returns to discuss the deepening stresses in the global silver market, including backwardation, London liquidity issues, and the collapse of available “free float” silver. He explains why the October 10 London freeze signaled zero available physical inventory and highlights the growing disconnect between ETF holdings and soaring prices. Jensen outlines how massive structural deficits, multi-billion-ounce paper claims, and refinery bottlenecks point to much higher silver prices ahead. He also warns that only physical ownership provides security as promissory-note-based markets show increasing signs of strain.” – Liberty and Finance

I’ll sing myself to sleep A song from the darkest hour Secrets I can’t keep Inside of the day Swing from high to deep Extremes of sweet and sour Hope that God exists I hope I pray Drawn by the undertow My life is out of control I believe this wave will bear my weight So let it flow Oh sit down Sit down next to me Sit down, down, down, down, down In sympathy Now I’m relieved to hear That you’ve been to some far out places It’s hard to carry on When you feel all alone Now I’ve swung back down again It’s worse than it was before If I hadn’t seen such riches I could live with being poor Oh sit down Sit down next to me Sit down, down, down, down, down In sympathy Those who feel the breath of sadness Sit down next to me Those who find they’re touched by madness Sit down next to me Those who find themselves ridiculous Sit down next to me Love, in fear, in hate, in tears Down Down Oh sit down Sit down next to me Sit down, down, down, down, down In sympathy Oh sit down Sit down next to me Sit down, down, down, down, down In sympathy Down
