THE BIG PICTURE

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

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

Walmart Partners With OpenAI To Allow Customers To Make Purchases Using ChatGPT, Fulfilling Another World Economic Forum Agenda – ““We’re excited to partner with Walmart to make everyday purchases a little simpler. It’s just one way AI will help people every day under our work together,” said Sam Altman” – The WinePress

Reality Caught Up to ‘Climate Change’ – “The climate creed that once ruled unquestioned is cracking as energy needs, geopolitical reality, and basic science force the West to admit carbon isn’t dying anytime soon.” – Victor Davis Hanson

What happens when Gen Z has nothing to lose – “A young generation who feels the future has been denied to them can topple the old order. But they rarely control what rises in its place, making them useful pawns as a new order emerges.” – Collapse Life

Was Covid Always a CIA Plot? – “According to newly released emails, the United States Intelligence Community, led by the CIA and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, held regular meetings with Dr. Ralph Baric, one of America’s leading coronavirus experts, since at least 2015. Baric has been accused of engineering the Covid-19 virus in his lab at the University of North Carolina, but he has never had to testify about his role in the pandemic despite his well-documented collaboration with the Wuhan Institute of Virology.” – Brownstone Institute

The Temptations of Jesus – “The evidence that institutions invariably betray the principles upon which they are founded is everywhere around us. Where shall I start? With the Roman Catholic Church hierarchy and the sexual abuse scandals that have come to light? With the entire medical establishment during — and continuing after — covid? With the psychoanalytic societies and institutes worldwide? Musing upon such matters led me to revisit the temptations of Jesus during his forty days and nights in the wilderness.” – NewZealandDoc

“You Can’t Handle the Truth”: UK Health Watchdog Reportedly Refuses to Release Data on Vaccine Deaths – “The United Kingdom’s public health service is reportedly refusing to release data on the potential relationship between the COVID vaccine and excess deaths. The reason? It would upset people to know the truth. The question is whether British citizens have become so passive and yielding that they will support their government, keeping them from learning the facts about vaccines and allowing them to reach their own conclusions. The UK has long embraced speech controls and censorship to protect citizens from unacceptable views or what one criminal defendant was told were “toxic ideologies.”” – Jonathan Turley

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

Government Whistleblowers Get Suicided. Edward Snowden Got a Netflix Deal. Why? – “Real whistleblowers die young. Heart attacks at thirty. Robberies where nothing gets stolen but they take two bullets to the back of the head. Car accidents on empty roads. They don’t get book deals and speaking fees and fawning profiles in major publications. They get disappeared. So when someone with deep access to classified programs becomes the world’s most celebrated privacy advocate, living comfortably in Moscow while maintaining a massive public platform, you need to ask different questions.” – The Wise Wolf  – GOOD ARTICLE FROM THE WISE WOLF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where’s Bongino? – “Dan Bongino – the former Internet personality and current Trump administration official (he is the deputy director of the FBI) has gone remarkably silent since his awkward interview – alongside Kash Patel – during which questions about the Epstein Business were asked but answered with the constrained assurances of a man with a gun pointed at his head. The why begs some awful questions. Bongino was a scrapper. He was famous among conservatives, at least, for all the Biden Years – hammering away at whatever the latest outrage was. When he was appointed by Trump to high office, most of the people who voted for Trump were delighted. They assumed it heralded an accountability moment. At last! People – bad people – were going to be held responsible for the bad things they’d done. One especially bad person being Jeff Epstein,” – Eric Peters

Trump Now Fully Supports Releasing the Epstein Files – “(*minutes after calling the same idea “weak, stupid, and definitely a Democrat hologram”). Donald Trump has just completed what pundits are calling his sixth documented U-turn on the Epstein files—a maneuver so sharp NASCAR drivers are taking notes. Let’s review the presidential timeline of consistency: January: “Open the files.”  March: “The files don’t exist.”  June: “They exist but they’re a Democrat hoax.”  September: “The public can’t handle them.”  October: “I’ve read them. Yawn.”  Last week: “OVER. MY. DEAD. BODY.”  Yesterday: “Release the kraken!” The only predictable thing about Trump is the unpredictability” – Jenna McCarthy

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

With all the challenges facing us as humans on this beleaguered planet, we really must find a way to stop killing each other in seemingly endless wars.” – Bill Astore

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In other words, the Taliban have somehow or other succeeded in doing what NATO was unable to do in two decades of de facto occupation: decimate Afghanistan’s share of the global heroin trade. So, what happened in 2001, you ask? The Taliban happened, of course! Or, more specifically, in July 2000 Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar issued a fatwa declaring the cultivation or trafficking of poppies to be “haram” (forbidden under Islamic law). And what happened after 2001, where the chart shows a steady increase in opium poppy cultivation in Afghanistan?

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

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

There’s too much coke and too much smoke
Look what’s going on inside you
Ooooh that smell
Can’t you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you

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

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

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

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

( That Smell by Allen Collins and Ronnie Van Zant )

THE BIG PICTURE

The False Concept of Reality That Is Perception Is Actually Enslavement – “It has never been more obvious and exposed concerning history, government, and the State, that nothing is to be ‘believed,’ nothing is to be trusted, nothing should be accepted, and all should be questioned. I have lived by this mantra for decades, but today it is even more vital than ever before, as the fakery surrounding us is ever-present and overwhelmingly consuming. Much of what passes for reality, actually most of it, is simply an illusion designed purposely to steer and manipulate the minds of the commoners through AI and other psychological methods,” – Gary D.

Canada Pushes to Begin Euthanizing Children – “Canada is once again facing outrage over its rapidly expanding euthanasia regime, as powerful advocacy groups are now pressuring the federal government to open the door to euthanizing children. The Canadian government no longer requires a terminal illness to euthanize citizens, and that has increasingly targeted society’s most vulnerable. The poor, the disabled, the chronically ill, people suffering from depression and autism, and even veterans seeking help for PTSD, are all being euthanized by the Liberal government.” – Frank Bergman

It’s All a Democrat Hoax! – “How do we know Trump is a reckless narcissist? Easy. This man has put the populist-nationalist movement he led – increasingly past tense – at risk of being utterly discredited by his own personal indiscretions, which are – piecemeal – coming to light despite his Herculean efforts to prevent that from happening by keeping everyone constantly distracted, as by blowing up things and bloviating about things. His old friend – that great guy, Jeffrey Epstein – reportedly possessed photos of the president, long before he became that, with “girls” who were wearing “bikinis” ” – Eric Peters

The Foreign Worker Scam Exposes Trump’s Economic Achilles Heel – “When it comes to economics, vision is meaningless. Every idiot out there has an economic “vision”, very few people have any idea how to get from Point A to Point Z. To be clear, Trump has limited political capacity to change the economy for the better. He has three years left on his second term and the fiscal problems he’s dealing with were created through decades of government and central bank mismanagement (or deliberate sabotage). Even if Trump had two more terms it would be difficult, and I’m setting aside the fact that the political left DOES NOT WANT the economy to be fixed and will do everything in their power to keep instability in place. Why? Because the worse things get the greater their election chances in 2026 and 2028.” – Brandon Smith

As a corollary: No problem is too big that can’t be resolved with enough money. On the other hand, here are modern economic results in one sentence: a boom eventually nosedives into crisis, which is the necessary correction, but is delayed or fought by the process that caused it—massive money printing to save significant market participants. Politicians favor money printing—leading to artificially low interest rates—to win favor with voters. ” – George Ford Smith

THE BIG PICTURE

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

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

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

That and the fact that we’re producing too many computer engineers who are bored and have to frig around with “everything” and mess up things that were perfectly adequate to begin with forcing all of us to be in a constant state of change we don’t need or want. Yes, they’re intelligent: eccentric science-type people can get mushrooms to play on little miniature pianos now. I kid you not. Go look. ” – Sylvia Shawcross

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

Breaking the Pentagon – “As it actively seeks war in the Pacific, the Caribbean, the Arctic, the North Atlantic, with an energized expansion in the Middle East, the Pentagon brings to mind not American security, but rapid metastasis.

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

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

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

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

So the Republicans on the House Oversight Committee proceeded to publish all 20,000 pages of emails from the Epstein estate. Perhaps this was the Democrats’ plan all along?” – Brian Shilhavy

The memo was widely condemned. The Obama administration withdrew it but refrained from prosecuting the torturers which had used it as cover.

“I Didn’t Think Anybody Could Be That Evil” – “The title of this column is a quote from 25-year retired Army Green Beret Lieutenant Colonel Anthony Aguilar. What Colonel Aguilar witnessed in Gaza by the Israeli military (and the U.S. private contractors under the direction of the IDF) is further evidence of just how vile and wicked the Israel government and its military really are. “Never in my life did I think that an army could be so evil as to use food to lure a starving population through a battlefield, killing women and children and the elderly on purpose. “Get them off of there. That’s not secure. Get them off,” the IDF officer said. I was like, “They’re children. They have no shoes on. They don’t have any weapons. There’s nothing in their hands at all. One of the children doesn’t even have a shirt. Calm down.” He walks back to his desk, gets on the radio with his forces, and then he comes back over to where I’m standing, and there was an American in our operations center that understood and could speak Hebrew a little bit. And he says to me, “He just said on the radio for his snipers to shoot them down.” So, when this officer came back, I asked, “Did you just order your snipers at site number two to shoot these kids?” He said, “Well, if you’re not going to take care of it, I will.” And I said, “We’re not shooting children.” ” – Chuck Baldwin

Curiosity and a desire for something a little different in houseplants enter into this, too. What does a pomegranate tree look like, or a tamarind? Combine all this with an element of parsimony. After all, having eaten the fruit, the seed is free. With commercially grown plants commanding handsome prices, green thumbs can be put to good use developing alternatives to the expensive, pedestrian offerings available in most plant shops.” – Leslie Gadallah

Why You Should Love The Mighty Black Walnut – “There’s a certain tree that owns the backroads and fencerows of the eastern states—a tree that doesn’t just stand tall but stands proud. The black walnut, Juglans nigra, isn’t some ordinary shade tree or nut-dropper. It’s a lifelong companion to anyone living close to the land—a provider, a craftsman’s dream, a wildlife refuge, and a long-term investment that might just outlive your grandchildren. Truth is, there’s far more to this rugged tree than meets the eye.” – Bill Heid

THE BIG PICTURE

Human Devolution by Nefarious Means: A Forced Digital/Nanotech Transformation – “I do not know how many more times I will have to bring up the subject of the AI takeover; digitization, digital ID, algorithmic confinement, and technocratic incarceration that are being built and advanced at a pace that is obviously far beyond the scope of the common American plebiscite. But it gets even worse, because this ‘new’ digital existence also depends upon and includes the total weaponization of “healthcare,” medicine, and the long-planned technological transformation of mankind.” – Gary D. Barnett

Trump’s GREAT RESET: 50 Year Loans “AGENT of WEF” (VIDEO) – Nephtali1981

Sorry Witches: Babylon Called and Wants Its Death Cult Back – “The ‘Nature Spirit’ You’re Worshiping Has Boobs, a Penis and Horns (And He Hates You). The New Age movement isn’t new. It’s the oldest spiritual con in human history, and it’s been getting people damned since before the Flood. Let’s go back. Way back. Before Babylon even existed, before Nimrod built his tower, before civilization as we know it began. Genesis 6 drops one of Scripture’s most disturbing passages: “The sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.”” – Lily-Rose Dawson and The Wise Wolf

Don’t Let Anger, Fear, or Stress Throw You Off Your Game – “The enemy tries to use these difficult emotions to derail us. For this reason, it’s important to know the truth in the Bible. The Holy Spirit will help us know how to process the difficult feelings when they come our way.” – Kate Dreston

Halting Globalist Psychopathy Requires Participation – “Too Few of Us are Doing More Than Bitching Online; Here are Practical Activities Everyone Can Do to Participate. The War Being Waged This is a war. UN2030 is a very different kind of war than the kinetic wars most of us think of when we hear that term, but it is very much a war on civilians in every nation on Earth. It is a war on the mind; a propaganda war that sows confusion, so that most are clueless regarding what is true and what isn’t” – Sarah E. Lawton

Spy Agencies Cozied Up To Wuhan Virologist Before Lying About Pandemic – “A close collaborator of virologists who studied coronaviruses in Wuhan frequently advised America’s top spy agency in the lead-up to the pandemic, and that same agency suppressed intelligence on the parallels between COVID-19 and their research. New documents show that intelligence risked implicating ODNI’s own bioengineering advisor — University of North Carolina professor Ralph Baric.” – Emily Kopp

The Biological Warfare Arms Race is Heating Up – “The U.S. government is currently negotiating a Memorandum of Understanding with over a dozen countries that would require them to provide the U.S. with access to their pathogens for the next 25 years.” – James Roguski

The Cold Is All In Your Imagination Yet Winter Started Early on November 10 – “Don’t forget, we live in a frying pan; it is so hot that the ice is melting at the poles (it’s really not), and lower Manhattan is supposed to be underwater. Oh yes, there is supposed to be no more snow, and the record cold being experienced is unrelated to climate change.” – Dr. Sircus

Newborn genetic screening – Say NO! Here is how, a state-by-state guide. – “All states require newborn screening (NBS) shortly after birth, which includes genetic data collection. The government really cares about you! Yeah right… what an opportunity to harvest data, frighten new parents with made up scary sounding “genetic mutations”, patent them, cook more “personalized genetic therapies”, but mostly to vacuum up all that data that they will need to shock-collar you into the digital slavery! Track and trace from birth to death.” – Sasha Latypova

Rational smash and grab – “When you lose trust in system solvency, there is no longer a marshmallow test to pass” – El Gato Malo

Another “Stimmy”? – “President Trump – perhaps cluing in to the implications of the recent blowout elections in Virginia and New York and New Jersey – has dangled (again) the prospect of $2,000 checks for every American as their rebate – so to speak – for all the taxes he has cost them. He does not, of course, refer to these taxes as taxes. He calls them “tariffs” – and counts on the rubes not comprehending that changing terms does not change facts. He also counts on them not understanding what “free” things cost. If you have been forced to spend an additional $200 each month for food (and that is probably a lowball estimate) on account of currency devaluation you have been mulcted out of $12,000 over the past five years. Do the math. And that does not factor in the inflated cost of everything else. But here’s $2,000 for your trouble – and a napkin to wipe the mess off your rear end. Meanwhile, $150 billion for Ukraine. ” – Eric Peters

Who Really Owns America? The Banks, the Billionaires, and the Deep State – “As President Trump floats the idea of 50-year mortgages, Americans are being sold a new version of the American Dream—one that can never truly be owned, only leased from the banks, billionaires, and private equity landlords who profit from our permanent state of debt. Which begs the question: who owns America? Is it the government? The politicians? The corporations? The foreign investors? The American people? While the Deep State keeps the nation divided and distracted by circus politics—the bread and circuses of empire—the police state’s stranglehold on power ensures the continuation of endless wars, runaway spending, and disregard for the rule of law. Meanwhile, America is literally being bought and sold right out from under us.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

Veterans Day – “Today, this Veterans Day, as with any politicized holiday, we need to remember what it is that we are actually celebrating. What I am about say will no doubt be disliked by many, simply for my speaking the truth, and possibly censored by others for the very same reason. In my view, there is no better day than today to honor the sacrifice of so many by taking the quintessentially American action of speaking truth to power and exposing the lies they we are sold by the State. Far too many have been conditioned from birth to blindly serve, and to see anything else as an affront to what this country represents.” – Ryan Cristián

Reflections from the Heart of the Empire: Spiraling Down – “Great news! According to our Mad Emperor, since Wal-Mart dropped the price of its Thanksgiving dinner by 25%, inflation is fake news. Fun fact: Wal-Mart did reduce the price by 25%. They also reduced the amount of food in the dinner by 50%(source: Wal-Mart). Hey Trump! Historically, Donald Trump is racing to polish James Buchanan’s long-tarnished legacy at warp speed. Never before has a President broken every single campaign promise but one to his voters in such a fast and furious frenzy of fuckery. It’s almost as Trump hated his own base all along, and now that he doesn’t need them anymore, he takes pleasure in tormenting them.” – Ohio Barbarian

Is anyone surprised Trump is profiting from the presidency? – “Trump has made a personal profit of more than $1.8bn in the past year, according to the Center for American Progress. Latest estimates show that the Trump family has racked up some $3.4 billion dollars in profits since the real estate developer first entered the White House in 2017. But why do so many Americans seem unfazed about this brazen conflict of interest at the highest levels?” – George Samuelson

A Tale of Two Shutdowns (Part II) – “And the “Natural Economy” panacea for Acute Statist Syndrome. It’s almost over, patient reader. That is to say, there’s a light at the end of Government Shutdown Tunnel. Only problem is, it looks to be coming from an Amtrak train.” – Joel Bowman  – (PART I) WAS LINKED LAST WEDNESDAY!!!

The Paradox of Mamdani’s Paradise – “Many of his promises are untenable, requiring levels of power that a city mayor simply doesn’t have. But even if he did have the power to institute all of his radical policies, they’d bring incredibly grave unintended consequences. Paradoxically, the lower-income New Yorkers, renters, small business employees that he claims to be fighting for would be crushed most of all.” – Peter Schiff

US Troops Train for Jungle Warfare in Panama for First Time in Decades – “The training comes amid a push toward a potential war with Venezuela” – Dave DeCamp

Nuclear Force “Recapitalization” – “An Abomination of the English Language. “Recapitalization”: What a word to describe more genocidal nuclear weapons! Typically, the Air Force refers to “modernization” or “investment” when it comes to new nukes. This latest euphemism is an even more extreme example of bureaucratese and business-speak. We’re just “recapitalizing” our nuclear forces, folks. Nothing to see here, move along.” – Bill Astore

Sidney Sweeney Turns a Perfect Look toward Woke Stupidity – “The national woke disdain for the ad was either too dumb to comment on, or, as Sweeney said, she’ll let her art speak for itself. I liked the fact that she was not rattled in the least by woke views that are so empty and not apologizing because people are offended about nothing.” – David Haggith

(*“Plus-size” being a sweet euphemism serving to obscure reality, which is that, as long as we’re using superlatives, she might be better described as “triple-extra-plus-plus-sized.” By some estimates, Tess Holliday weighs in excess of 300 pounds.” – Ben Bartee

End of American Empire Nears (VIDEO) with David Morgan – “End of empire has negative consequences for the currency of the empire. In this case, it’s the US dollar. Morgan contends central banks all the way down to the man on the street are losing faith in paper and want the real thing. No where is that more evident than in the silver market that is featuring record high prices. Morgan says, “It’s a paper driven market. You are given a contract where it says you can act on this contract, for this price, for this much silver. People like never before are saying, ‘Okay, put up or shut up. I want the silver. I don’t want the cash’ ” – Greg Hunter

Not Enough Silver… or Just in the Wrong Location? – “Early this year, high premiums developed for COMEX bars in the U.S. thanks to fears of tariffs on importing silver (and gold). In response, traders shipped an estimated 300 tons of silver from London to New York to alleviate that squeeze. Indian silver premiums have fallen back to a more normal range of 25 to 40 cents an ounce. The London silver market has also returned to a more even keel. However, the current equilibrium in the markets may be short-lived. This year’s spike in demand from India likely isn’t a one-time phenomenon.” – Clint Siegner

10 DIY Root Cellar Ideas – “Before refrigerators were commonplace in American homes, root cellars were the way many families stored their harvested food for the winter. From the 18th century through the early 20th century, root cellars helped preserve potatoes, squash, garlic, carrots, onions, cabbages, kale, beets, Brussel sprouts, apples, and other crops. Typically a below-ground excavation, the root cellar was usually located adjacent to the house or barn. Sometimes these storage areas were just a few feet square in size, and, other times, they were large enough for an adult to stand in and move around. ” – Tricia Drevets – ALSO SEE LAURIE NEVERMAN’S ARTICLE LINKED ON 11/22/24 FOR MORE IDEAS!!!

THE BIG PICTURE

By What Authority? – “There is no doubt that Jesus has authority! When we look at the opening verses of Genesis, we see this same demonstration of God’s authority: He says “let there be light,” and light happens. God speaks the whole of creation into existence—with a mere utterance from God, everything happens. Just from this, there is no doubt that there can be no authority greater than God’s! Do any who presume to lead men here on earth have anything like God’s authority? Clearly they do not. We have only to look at the chaos in the world to see that, contrary to what the centurion believed about his own authority, what men speak does not automatically happen. What God says, is. What men say, may or may not be.” – Peter Nayland Kust

The Conspiracy to Hide God in Plain Sight – “Why Evil Fears Your Prayers. Modern archaeology has a clean story. Sumerian tablets are older than biblical texts, therefore the Bible borrowed from Mesopotamia. Genesis copied the flood from Gilgamesh, creation from Enuma Elish. Case closed. But that timeline assumes tablets were written when the events happened. What if they’re not? Call the Sumerian version older and you control the interpretation. Make Genesis look derivative and you gut the theological framework. Because if the Bible just plagiarized Mesopotamian myths, why take any of it seriously? Why worry about fallen angels or spiritual warfare when it’s obviously Bronze Age fan fiction?” – Lily-Rose Dawson – VERY INTERESTING READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Told You So (Tropical — Now Winter) – “Back in the early part of the hurricane season I predicted no landfalling hurricanes for the Continental US. I didn’t say “no hurricanes” because that would be utterly stupid and always wrong, but I did predict zero hits on the United States. Why? Because the neutral ENSO said that was likely to be the case; specifically, that pattern changes the path of the jetstream in the summer in that it has less amplitude into the United States and thus the normal and expected blocking mechanisms that both ventilate tropical weather and force it westward were less-likely. Between the two “local, home-grown” stuff (e.g. in the Gulf) was less-likely and long-track storms would turn poleward before getting here. Both happened. No, its not due to “climate change” or any such twaddle.” – Karl Denninger

Epoch of Change – “What’s happening in the EU is the product of the globalists and the stronger they get, the weaker we are as a nation. The US is already suffering from the effects of a declining power. America can draw strength from the Central and Eastern European bloc that has rejected illegal immigration rather than build a complete apparatus to deport those already there. One can understand it either as a religious battle, or a battle against communists, it works either way, because the Islamists are communists in drag. They are the communist shock troops and once the worldwide caliphate is established communism will simply slip away into the darkness of history, morphed into a religious, patriarchal tyranny.” – T.L.

That’s on top of Trump’s obvious internal struggle on whether to do the same to Venezuela. Another possibility is Columbia, whose president, according to Trump, is an “illegal drug leader.” Oh, the difficult life of an interventionist drug-war president who is ostensibly set on making America great again.

Big government is the problem, not the solution. – “Socialism has never reduced prices or improved affordability. Never. Interventionism is the root of all inflationary and scarcity problems.

BECOME A SOURCE OF SUSTENANCE FOR OTHERS – “I had my great awakening in 2003 and began to prepare for our departure from mainstream American society which came several years later. And while the transition took years to accomplish and the skills required twice as long to master, here we are having enjoyed decades of real independence, making deep connections to friends and community, spending our time with each other, doing things that gave our life meaning and purpose without ever considering our net worth or place in the economic order.” – Hardscrabble Farmer

Health Prepping: A Future to be Avoided at All Costs – “A few months ago, I put a pistol (Sig Sauer P320 for the gun people out there) on a bedside table to remind me to clean it. But I didn’t get to it right away. And then one day it was gone. After a frantic hour spent checking every possible part of the floor and bed where it could have fallen, I concluded that it had been stolen. So I called the sheriff’s department and reported the pistol “lost or stolen”. Fast forward to this week. As I was organizing a messy closet, I pulled out a random box, and there was my pistol. I had no memory of putting it there, so my reaction was mixed: I was happy to have my favorite gun back. And spooked by the apparent memory glitch. In other words, was this just a random “senior moment” with no lasting implications, or was it the beginning of a long-term decline that leaves me unable to recognize my kids?” – John Rubino

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

I take my card and I stand in line
To make a buck I work overtime
Dear Sir letters keep coming in the mail

I work my back till it’s racked with pain
The boss can’t even recall my name
I show up late and I’m docked
It never fails

I feel like just another
Spoke in a great big wheel
Like a tiny blade of grass
In a great big field

To workers I’m just another drone
To Ma Bell I’m just another phone
I’m just another statistic on a sheet

To teachers I’m just another child
To IRS I’m another file
I’m just another consensus on the street

Gonna cruise out of this city
Head down to the sea
Gonna shout out at the ocean
Hey it’s me

And I feel like a number
Feel like a number
Feel like a stranger
A stranger in this land
I feel like a number
I’m not a number
I’m not a number
Dammit I’m a man

( Feel Like A Number by Bob Seger )
