THE BIG PICTURE

The Flight To Egypt – “If the Hebrew midwives at the time of Moses’ birth could see the pure evil in ordering the killing of children, surely Herod’s soldiers could see that also. That Herod’s soldiers apparently opted to go along with such evil is a further stark comment on the spiritual state of the people of Israel. When Jesus was born, the narrative makes it clear that Israel was suffering spiritually as well as politically. Joseph acted to preserve the infant Jesus. By making the hard choice to risk the journey into Egypt, Joseph made possible Jesus’ sacrifice on the Cross at Calvary, and His Resurrection. Through the hard choice to risk that journey into Egypt, God began in Joseph the transformation of writing His Law upon the hearts of all men.” – Peter Nayland Kust

The True Gospel of Jesus Christ Threatens the Business of the Freemasons and Technocrats – “As we come to the end of 2025, the United States still leads the world in several notorious categories. We are the #1 destination for pedophiles and child sex trafficking, we are the world leaders in technology and AI, we are the world center for Freemasonry which controls the worldwide financial system, and the United States is also home to the richest billionaire Zionists who sit at the top of the Freemason pyramid. Those who desire hope in 2026 by looking for change in politics or religion, will continue to follow false hopes that will never affect real change in modern-day American culture. As I have reported for the past few years, America is fulfilling her destiny, as the United States of America was founded by Freemasons to create a “New World Order” as is plainly stated on our national seal, which is also printed into our currency.” – Brian Shilhavy

BMW’s Screw That No One Else Can Turn – “While Mercedes aims to make cars easier to repair, BMW has patented roundel-shaped screw heads that push owners to dealer-only servicing and repairs. While BMW can argue that this is partly about design consistency, the patent itself makes the real goal clear: preventing loosening or tightening with common tools by unauthorised persons. In practical terms, that means you, your local garage, and your trusted independent mechanic, unless they are willing and able to source a very specific BMW-only tool.” – Marnus Moolman

Did TSA Finally Grab the Wrong Groin? – “Evita Duffy-Alfonso, the pregnant daughter of Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy, tore into TSA last week over the abuse she suffered prior to a recent flight. Writing on X on Thursday, she called for abolishing TSA:” – James Bovard

Drought Deception – “Northwest drought is being exaggerated by a group including publicly funded agencies, the media, local government, and climate activists. At its essence, it is ideological, anti-science, political, and self-serving. To see how nonsensical and anti-science this effort is, consider the latest drought map for Washington State (released yesterday, and shown below). Most of Washington State is “abnormally dry” or in drought, with severe or extreme drought over the eastern slopes of the Cascades and the far portion of the state (see below). As shown below, this is total nonsense and inconsistent with hard data. Precipitation has been above normal, soils are moist, rivers are above normal levels, reservoirs are above normal, and snowpack is in decent shape.” – Cliff Mass

No Storms, No Spin: A Quiet Hurricane Season That Even NOAA Missed – “Straight reporting from Rigzone shows it was a near-normal season—with facts, not climate hype.” – Linnea Lueken

Mainstream media participate in an omertà in relation to the sudden death of a Norweigen Olympic athlete. – “Sivert Bakken was a Norweigen Biathlete who tragically died a few days ago at the tender age of 27. When I read the above, which referred to heart problems interrupting his career in 2021-22, I naturally thought “covid vaccine-induced myocarditis”, and that this was almost certainly linked to his sudden death. However, as you will note, no such link is made in either of these articles.” – Jonathan Engler

Mr Zelensky Goes to Washington (Again) – “President Trump has already hinted that he expects little of value to come from Zelensky’s return to the White House. He told Politico after Christmas that Ukraine’s holdover president (who has remained in office nearly two years beyond his elected term by declaring a state of martial law) “doesn’t have anything until I approve it…So we’ll see what he’s got.” Still, President Trump continues to give Zelensky and Europe’s mouthy warmongers (or as Europe’s militarily weak but loud and threatening “leaders” prefer to describe themselves, “the coalition of the willing”) every opportunity to bark like small dogs, run in circles, nip at America’s heels, and pee on the Oval Office carpet.” – J.B. Shurk

Chevy’s Christmas Commercial – “This year, Chevy – General Motors – elected to produce a not-Woke commercial for Christmas. But it is an embarrassing commercial for GM, nonetheless – because it features a vehicle of the type that Chevy used to make but doesn’t anymore. Well, it sort of does. The featured vehicle is a Chevy Suburban. The 1980s version. The version that average American families could afford to buy back in the ’80s. Back in 1982, a brand-new Suburban stickered for about $10k – if you can imagine that. According to the government’s BLS inflation calculator, that $10k works out to about $34k today. That amount of money will buy you about half a 2026 Suburban, which stickers for $63,400 to start.” – Eric Peters

From the Back Forty: Heartlanders Give Trump Their Resolutions – “Middle America calls for a resolution to a couple of nagging problems. Although the coastal regions may disagree, conservatives, Blue Dog Democrats, and a good share of the libertarian kind are ready to oust those responsible for major fraud in Minnesota and the giant sucking sound coming from Ukraine.” – Sarah Cowgil

Everyone Is Sick Of It (VIDEO) – “Not the world you grew up in. . Romantic as it is, I get the feeling she’s not that into him. He just wants to make nice.  Again, get the feeling she’s not interested. An everyday experience for young women in Europe. Or just a mythical far-right narrative. We’ve got our own scumbags, our own predators, and our own sex piss. We do not need to bring in more. This is not racism, they say, and they’re not the far right. But a lot of what we heard sounded an awful lot like the far right’s narrative. Oh, yes, that horrendous far-right narrative of checks notes mothers not wanting their daughters to be predated on.” – Paul Joseph Watson  – GOOD ONE AS USUAL FROM PJW!!!!

Trump and Netanyahu Meet Again – “Both seek to dominate the world. As has been reported, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will yet again be in Washington on Monday December 29th. It is a visit that initial media reports claimed had been requested by Trump, which would underline the value of the relationship to the US president.Netanyahu is not likely to raise the claimed “threat” posed by Iran’s alleged secret nuclear weapons development as Trump continues to insist that the US attack on Iran in June “obliterated” the nuclear program. ” – Philip Giraldi

Netanyahu Is Visiting Trump For The FIFTH Time This Year, And Other Notes – “But of course it would be antisemitic to suggest that there’s anything strange about the US president meeting with the Israeli prime minister more frequently than with any other foreign leader on the planet.” – Caitlin Johnstone

The Saudis’ Threats Against South Yemen Expose Their Geopolitical Motives – “They expect to obtain a client state in at least part of Yemen as their reward for fighting the Houthis.” – Andrew Korybko

Silver Up 7 Bucks—Is Not Business As Usual – “This morning, I called some who keep large bank balances to warn them. Though I can’t know for sure, a daily gold price up $30/100/silver up 2/7 bucks, this is the right time to get dollars you can’t afford to lose out of the banking system. If mortgages are owed, pay them down. Or, at least, secure your dollars—in your own possession.” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com  -GOOD READ FROM ERIK ONCE AGAIN!!

2026: A Monetary Tsunami – “For much of the past 50 years, gold and silver were seen as relics of the past. Irrelevant shiny rocks from another era. Mainstream news told us precious metals were worthless. “Pet rocks”. Even as recently as September of 2022, the Wall Street Journal ran a headline proclaiming “Gold Loses Status as Safe Haven”, written by one Hardika Singh: Gold is up about $2,800/oz since that article was published. This is your reminder to ignore mainstream financial news. I haven’t sold anything yet. Miners, ETFs, vault holdings, nada. These investments act as a personal floodgate. If you ever need them, you’ll really need them. And with the trajectory the world is on, a tsunami is inevitable. This wave will come in the form of money printing and inflation at a scale that will shock the world. We’re approaching a historic financial and monetary reckoning.” – Adam Sharp

What’s changing are the currencies and I believe what you’re looking at right now is this is the end of the fiat experiment. You’re watching uh currencies devalue. I mean if you have something go up 100%. It means if you’ve got silver or gold that goes up 100%. That’s a devaluation of 50% of the currency.

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

You ask me where to begin
Am I so lost in my sin?
You ask me where did I fall
I say I can’t tell you when

But if my spirit is lost
How will I find what is near?

Don’t question, I am not alone
Somehow I’ll find my way home

My sun shall rise in the east
So shall my heart be at peace
And if you’re asking me when
I’ll say it starts at the end

You know your will to be free
It’s matched me, love, secretly
And I belong to your brand
Somehow you’ll find you were there

Your friend lives close by your side
And speaks in far, ancient tongue
A season’s wish will come true
All seasons speaking with you

One world we all come from
One world we mend into all
Just hold my hand and lean back
Somehow we’re going somewhere
Somehow we’re going somewhere

You ask me where to begin
Am I so lost in my sin?
You ask me where did I fall
I’ll say I can’t tell you when

But if my spirit is strong
I know it can’t be long

No question, I’m not alone
Somehow I’ll find my way home
Somehow I’ll find my way home
Somehow I’ll find my way home

( I’ll Find My Way Home by Jon Anderson and Vangelis )

Trump Inciting The Mothership of Global War – “Trump is bombing ISIS in Nigeria. He is saving Christians from slaughter. The region specifically targeted is the northwest. But Christians live primarily in the Southeast, South and Southwest. So who lives in the northwest? The northwest is comprised of 7 political zones which are primarily home to the Hausa and Fulani peoples numbering 71 million. They are dominant – Sunni Islam with mosques dating from the 15th century. So why would Trump bomb this well grounded civilization? “Northwest Nigeria holds significant untapped rare earth mineral potential, primarily in the form of monazite sands rich in key elements like neodymium, lanthanum, and cerium vital for EV’s, defense weapons, smartphones. and turbines.” What there are not? Christians. Never were. What is being bombed? Mosques and civilian populations. Who gave the order? Israel. Who started the rumor of Christian genocide in Nigeria? Netanyahu.” – Helena Glass

But only hours ahead of that meeting, it sure looks like Russia’s President Vladimir Putin is sending a message to Ukraine and, indirectly, to the United States, as Russia has launched yet another attack on the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv.” – Ward Clark

Strategic Reality: The Conflict of Attrition, Ukraine Cannot Win – “There is an unavoidable military reality that Europe continues to deny, even as its own officials whisper it in private briefings and NATO commanders leak the same conclusions to any journalist willing to hear. The conflict is not merely going badly for Ukraine; it is structurally unwinnable.” – Phil Butler

How Corporations View (and Own) the U.S. Military – “Corporate Capture Is Not Just Lobbying. Big business works hard to influence the U.S. government. Corporate capture happens when it succeeds. Massive corporations work together to influence the government’s institutions and decision-making so that policy and regulation (or lack thereof) increase corporate profit instead of public well-being. You likely know about think tanks, lobbying, and legal bribery. This corporate capture — mind and body — guarantees that government policy will help to maximize corporate profit. The annual military policy bill known as the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is crafted in the environment described above. Corporate lobbyists and U.S. Congress pack the NDAA with section after section designed to increase corporate profit.” – Christian  – GOOD READ ON HOW THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX WORKS!!!

Russia’s hidden assault on Europe – “Most Europeans still think the war stops at Ukraine’s border. It doesn’t. While Russian artillery pounds Kherson and Kharkiv, a parallel, quieter campaign is being fought inside the engine rooms of Europe’s economy. The weapons are not tanks but malware, forged documents, anonymous leaks, shadow tankers and well-timed “grassroots” protests. The targets are the very things Europe needs to free itself from Russian energy and Chinese raw materials: new liquid natural gas terminals, wind-farm control systems, undersea data cables, rare earth element mines, and the companies bold enough or foolish enough to build them. The numbers can no longer be ignored.” – James Durso

ECONOMIC NEWS

The Silver Market Just Nuked The Narrative – “I want to take a walk down memory lane — but before I do, let’s start with Friday, because it was not just “a big day” for silver. It was a statement. It was the kind of violent, undeniable, face-ripping move that doesn’t just show up on a chart, it closes an argument. Silver didn’t merely rally — it ripped higher in a way that perfectly wrapped up a year where the precious-metals markets have done nothing but confirm what some of us have been warning about for a very long time: the global financial system is fundamentally broken, monetary policy is a farce, and the theoretical scaffolding holding modern finance together is rotting at the seams. I’ve been yammering about this for the better part of 7 years now.” – Quoth the Raven

JPMorgan Sees $5,000 Gold Coming Soon – “JPMorgan now sees gold pushing beyond $5,000 and the bull run lasting into 2027. Silver is breaking away all by itself. These aren’t isolated headlines – they’re signals of a world quietly repricing money, risk and sovereignty itself…” – Peter Reagan

CPI Price Inflation Slows as Oil Prices Fall and Rents Flatten – “This will mean falling prices in spite of continued monetary inflation. In other words, as we see price inflation growth flatten, it will be due to larger economic softening, and not to imagine Fed efforts to return to “price stability.” Unfortunately, all this means ordinary people will have no chance of regaining any of the lost purchasing power—especially purchasing power lost due to supercharged price inflation that occurred during 2022 and 2023.” – Ryan McMaken

BRICS launch gold-backed currency – “The BRICS countries are moving away from the US dollar as the currency that settles international transactions, and gold is an integral part of the new settlement mechanism. The Unit On Oct. 31, 2025, researchers launched a pilot to test a gold-anchored settlement “Unit” inside the 10-member BRICS+ bloc of countries, which includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates. This was followed by a Unit prototype launched on Dec. 8. The Unit is a “digital trade currency” pilot created for settlement between BRICS economies. The initiative came from IRIAS, the International Research Institute for Advanced Systems. Importantly, the Unit does not replace national currencies. Rather, it aims to act as a neutral settlement tool that reduces reliance on the US dollar in trade between BRICS economies. The BRICS Unit is a gold-anchored digital trade currency designed for cross-border settlement.” – Richard Mills

EU Sanctions Coming to a Neighborhood Near You – “In a time of fake war, many fake accusations must be made. The EU, led by what the whole world recognizes as a group of literal idiots, sanctioned a 70 year old Swiss intelligence analyst, The sanctions require that Colonel Baud’s accounts be frozen, his property seized, that he remains in Belgium, that he shall have no assistance moral, financial or practical, from friends, neighbors, his publishers, or anyone else. The rats in Brussels are currently being starved just in case Colonel Baud needs to have a head cage installed, as he most obviously deserves one.

In this emerging system, the citizen is replaced by the ‘managed subject’, whose access to the economy is contingent upon a social credit score.” – Colin Todhunter

If Jesus Were Born Today, Would He Survive the American Police State? – “Every Christmas, Christians celebrate the birth of a child born into oppression—an occupied land, a climate of political fear, and a government quick to crush anything that threatened its authority. Two thousand years later, the parallels are unmistakable. If Jesus were born in modern America, under a government obsessed with surveillance, crackdowns on undocumented immigrants, religious nationalism, and absolute obedience to a head-of-state rather than the rule of law, would he survive long enough to preach about love, forgiveness and salvation? Would his message of peace, mercy, and resistance to empire be branded as extremism?

MSM Stays Silent As Horrific Video Emerges Of Attack On 75-Year-Old Woman In Seattle – “Outside of local reporting in Seattle, corporate media outlets at the national level have entirely ignored the brutal attack on a 75-year-old woman by a repeat offender. The silence is telling and underscores how progressive criminal justice reforms continue to backfire spectacularly, enabling a revolving-door chaotic environment that releases serial offenders back onto the streets with nation-killing consequences. That’s correct. There has been no coverage in the mainstream press. The reason is very simple: corporate media outlets no longer function as independent news organizations, but as public-relations arms that filter stories based on narrative control rather than public importance.

The goal was to try to fully seize and use—rather than merely ‘immobilize’—the assets, but instead all they could manage was to create a €90B “loan” for Ukraine—from their own coffers, at that—a far cry from the upwards of €210 they had wanted.” – Simplicius

Destabilisation And Peak Exuberance – ” Markets are winding down for the holiday break, but the news flow continues to hint at rising destability and noise, hinting the future economic path will get more twisty and difficult.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Gross Domestic Income (GDI) are two measures of the same thing. GDP measures total spending on final goods and services, while GDI measures the total income earned from producing them (wages, profits, interest, taxes). Income theoretically must equal expenditure, but they often differ in practice due to data collection lags and methods.” – Mish?

Silver Mania And The Predictable Bust – “Silver’s parabolic rise has been remarkable. Its price has more than doubled this year and is nearly three times higher than in 2023. The current surge closely mirrors two previous price jumps shown below.

Accordingly, we think it’s only a matter of price before the CME and/or governmental action pulls the rug out from silver speculators.” – Michael Lebowitz  – THE 2 PREVIOUS RISES WENT BUST BECAUSE THE CME RAISED MARGIN REQUIREMENTS AND INVESTORS WERE SPECULATING WITH OPTIONS.

THE BIG PICTURE

( SEEMS TO ME, I’M STARTING TO SEE A LOT MORE DESPERATION IN THE ARTICLES OF MANY PEOPLE THIS PAST YEAR )

The World That Used To Be—Is Gone – “What’s gone is that American spirit from the 50s/60s when free speech was a thing and authority was subject to question. Now, Americans line-up like lemmings, awaiting expert directive. The West Coast is totally controlled by the left. Oregon has ports but no oil refinery. We get our oil from Washington, another, California-like—fossil-fuel hater. Oregonians are among the most optically ignorant. Few here understand that the elites they rely on are as close to being monsters, as is possible. As when neighbors say they’re not against guns. but want them strictly regulated because guns kill people. So does slut, trans-porn in 3rd grade libraries that robs kids of humanity/sexual identity. For me, the elite don’t matter—I’ll play the game as I must, but if they go too far, try to take me from what’s mine, like Putin, I’ll see it as existential— do what needs done.” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

Homo Ozempus – ““It’s okay to be big and beautiful!” The people selling this for decades, as tolerance for sloth, excess, and lack of self-control, are turning to injectable “drugs” to no longer be big and beautiful, and would prefer instead to be skinny and blind. In the history of human sincerity, no group has so profoundly and ironically called bullshit on their own claim. As with all politically correct social engineering exploits emerging from the hive of the progressive mind, body positivity was never about beauty or self-acceptance—it was about masquerading inclusivity as both, by lowering standards of body mass index to match the increasing rates of society-wide failure to maintain healthy levels. The jig is up. The pharmaceutical industry, along with nearly every public and private institution charged with “health care,” not only tolerated this arrangement but partnered with the corporate food system that created it, ensuring that the same pipeline could profit first from metabolic damage and then again from its chemical “cures.”” – The Good Citizen

This land was carved in blood long before the first English flag bit into the dirt at Newfoundland.  We’re a civilization built on English code—Common Law, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights—all baptized in the blood of many. And they lied to us. Now the fourth war is here. Ethnic. Ideological. Inevitable. We see the truth now. We’re separate tribes. Always have been. Just like the natives before us. To break the thousand-year cycle, the Old Stock packs must do what is necessary.  Forge dark alliances with the other Old Stock lines—English with Spaniard, German with African, all who earned their place in the crucible. Bury the petty grudges. One final caution. We Scandinavians arrived here to North America more than a thousand years ago. Long before all but the tribes we found here killing one another everywhere. Should the Old Stock English Civilizational peoples fail to do what must be done. It’ll be done another way, the preservation and restoration of America, of the English-Speaking Peoples.

FAFO: The Target Bully Edition – “A viral harassment, an accidental hero, and the internet’s favorite plot twist. In case you missed it: What began as a routine afternoon of folding sweaters at Target in exchange for a (probably) piddling paycheck ended with a standing ovation—which is certainly not how most viral bullying episodes go. Michelea Ponce marched into a Target store in Chico, CA, and filmed herself unleashing a profanity-laced tirade against an elderly employee named Jeanie Beeman. Jeanie’s hideous offense? Wearing a Charlie Kirk “FREEDOM” shirt on the job. Think about this for a moment: This deranged, hateful leftist didn’t just launch an unprovoked assault on a senior. She filmed herself doing it. It’s less a confrontation than a character study: what happens when pure crass meets dignified class.” – Jenna McCarthy

Israel Loses the Narrative Battle of Midway at Turning Points USA Conference – “Benjamin Netanyahu himself describes the “narrative war” as part of his multifront war to establish Greater Israel, which seems to mean taking as much land for Israeli Jews as possible. He and his billionaire Zionist buddies know they are in trouble on that front. For reasons they cannot allow themselves to understand, huge majorities of Americans under 50 in general are suddenly—to the Zionists, anyway— questioning why the United States should support Israel at all. Mossad knows why—Israeli soldiers themselves flooded TikTok with videos of the Uninhibited Joys of Genocide—but they can’t admit that, which is why Zionist billionaires have seized TikTok, CBS, and their bribing and blackmailing minions lobby tirelessly to censor speech they don’t like in every country they can” – Ohio Barbarian

Silver Just Called the COMEX’s Bluff – “However, what many may have missed this December is that it was the month the paper markets in silver had yet another near-death experience. As usual, this critical turning point in metals, as well as its neon-flashing signal of a globally debt-sick financial and currency system, went largely unnoticed. In financial markets, the daily buzz remained forever focused on the usual suspects, But often, in fact nearly always, the real and more nuanced signals, as well as market warnings, are deliberately omitted from the Zeitgeist. This is not only because such signals are a threat to the so-called “experts” behind these failing and corrupted systems, but because, as such, they are made deliberately too complex for Joe Sixpack to see and hence critique. That is why the COMEX, in 1974, added futures contracts to allow massive levels of leverage in the hands of a small cabal of bullion banks to conduct equally massive shorts on the gold and silver price each and every day since. This keeps the prices forced down. The COMEX, in short, was designed for no other reason than to manipulate gold and silver, for gold and silver, promised by the U.S. Constitution as real money, had been taken away from the people in August of 1971. The cabal responsible for this crime didn’t want this stolen “real money” to outshine the fake paper money that replaced it.” – Matthew Piepenburg  – GOOD READ FROM MATTHEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All Precious Metals Zooming Sharply Higher… What is Happening? – “Gold, silver, platinum, and palladium are buidling upon last week’s gains and rallying again this morning — in a big way. A new breakout in gold would make major headlines and lead to a new surge in retail interest in all precious metals as well as mining stocks. In reality, though, very few Americans own a single ounce of gold or silver bullion — having been failed by their financial advisors who were taught to belittle gold and those who own it. Other parts of the world, particularly Asia, are having all the fun.” – Money Metals News Service

But Chair Powell announced on December 10 that the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) has decided it must begin expanding its balance sheet again to maintain “ample reserves”—code for maximizing policy discretion and insulating itself from market forces.” – Paul Mueller

Joseph, The Father Of Jesus – “Priests and pastors often have much to say about Mary, the mother of Jesus. A virgin, she conceived through the power of the Holy Spirit, giving birth to the Son of God in human form. This is the central narrative arc in the Nativity story. For this alone, Mary is an important figure within Christian religious traditions. But what about Joseph? How much faith must Joseph have had? He had only a visitation by an angel, and that visitation came in the manner of a dream. That was the only assurance Joseph had that his raising the child Jesus was what God had planned. We may fairly surmise that Joseph remained a key figure in Jesus early life, for when the people marveled at Jesus and His teachings, they spoke of Him as Joseph’s son. Despite knowing that Jesus was not his child, Joseph willingly raised Jesus, presenting Him to the world as his child. Joseph did all this with only the assurance of a visitation during a dream that he was following God’s plan for him. How much faith must Joseph have had to do all this?” – Peter Nayland Kust

The Medical Mafia is Coming for Grandma – “Recently President Trump called the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule, requiring 72 doses, far more than any other country in the world, “ridiculous.” He directed the HHS to immediately fast-track a comprehensive review of childhood vaccine schedules. This inspired me to look into the CDC’s recommendations for older adults on Medicare.

Gas is About to Get Expensive . . . – “A gallon of gas costs about twice as much in California as it does pretty much anywhere else in the United States. The reason why, of course, is that California makes it cost about twice as much – by reducing supply and by adding costs, chiefly for “environmental” reasons. This includes a new requirement – going into effect very soon (Dec. 31) that all gas stations must either replace singlewalled underground storage tanks or permanently close them – no matter whether the tanks are actually leaking and no matter how much it costs to replace them. How much is it going to cost? Obviously, this is an expense beyond the means of many independent gas station owners as the profit margin on gas is barely enough to stay in business selling gas. Of course, this is why there are very few gas stations left that just sell gas left, in California or anywhere else. Most have been taken over by corporate chains that sell everything except timeshares, with gas being the incidental thing they sell.” – Eric Peters  – THANK YOU WANNA BE PRES, GAVIN NEWSOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s the best time of the year

Have a holly jolly Christmas
And when you walk down the street
Say hello to friends you know
And everyone you meet

Oh ho, the mistletoe
Hung where you can see
Somebody waits for you
Kiss her once for me

(Ding-dong-ding) Have a holly jolly Christmas
(Ding-dong-ding) And in case you didn’t here
Oh, by golly, have a holly jolly Christmas this year

(Ding-dong-ding-dong)
(Ding-dong-ding-dong)

THE BIG PICTURE

The Soundtrack of a Nation Waking Up: All the Lies We Were Told – “There is a moment in every society when people stop humming. We are in that moment now. Over the past five years, we have lived through the greatest coordinated deception of our lifetime … one that stretched across governments, media, health bureaucracies, global institutions, and even the people we once trusted to tell the truth. But something changed. People started noticing the notes that didn’t fit. The contradictions. The gaslighting. The way “experts” shifted their story depending on the political winds. The way inconvenient facts were buried, censored, or mocked.” – Connie Shields

In Illinois, Governor JB Pritzker (D) signed a bill legalizing the practice last Friday. In New York, Governor Kathy Hochul (D) announced yesterday that she has reached an agreement with the state legislature and will sign the Medical Aid in Dying Act in January 2026.

This seems illegal being that many of the people getting locked out of their accounts are my paid subs.

Why Christmas Joy So Often Collides With Cardiac Risk – “It’s a festive atmosphere for the soul, but a demanding one for the heart. The American Heart Association reports that Christmas Day has more fatal heart attacks than any other day of the year in the United States, with December 26 and New Year’s Day following closely behind. A Swedish study published in the British Medical Journal found a 15% rise in heart attacks during the holiday period and an especially sharp increase on Christmas Eve, most commonly around 10 p.m., which, ironically, is suspiciously close to the moment Santa hits cruising altitude and begins carb-loading on millions of holiday desserts.

Trump Just Made Leg Lamps Great Again – “You could practically feel the tension on the internets. Our Mad Emperor announced that he would be “seeing” us in an Oval Office address last night, and then Tucker Carlson went on Judge Napolitano’s show and said some congresscritters thought Trump would be declaring war on Venezuela. Podcast after podcast screamed war was coming. I couldn’t help but picture South Park’s Eric Cartman as Trump went through a litany of hilariously ludicrous claims, the gist of which included… It’s the Democrats’ fault your health insurance premiums are doubling, not the Republicans. Trump’s going to make sure you get money to go to you so you can buy health insurance instead of sending it to the health insurance companies and he’s going to MAHA. Or something. There’s something called TrumpRx and Trump hawked it like the snake oil salesman in Little Big Man. Prices are plummeting! The economy is doing better than ever! Trump’s stopped 8 wars! Trump’s brought peace to the Middle East! Trump’s so peaceful he’s fucking Gandhi! Trump’s brought the price of gasoline down to $1.99 a gallon! Yup. It’s all bullshit.” – Ohio Barbarian

A Battered America Awaits Trump’s Next Move – “Is Trump the “First Jewish President?” President Donald Trump’s end of year speech to the American public that took place on December 17th was full of conceits over how the United States under the new regime in power is moving ahead on all fronts to benefit the American people. The reality is somewhat different with a struggling economy, inflation and growing unemployment as well as wars and rumors of wars. The unavoidable fact that Trump has created a mess nearly everywhere that he has trod has been visible practically since inauguration day eleven months ago, made worse by the incoherent and frequently contradictory explanations coming out of the Oval Office itself.” – Philip Giraldi

Putin takes aim at Zelenskyy in annual Q&A, says Kyiv won’t bend on land – “Russian leader underscores Kremlin’s hardline stance on peace talks as Trump pushes for deal to end war. The issue of territory gained, lost, to be ceded or not, delves into the heart of the matter on one of the most contentious issues in the talks to end the war so far. “We know from statements from Zelenskyy that he’s not prepared to discuss territory issues,” Putin told attendees at the event in the capital’s Gostiny Dvor exhibition hall. Zelenskyy has indeed stated that clearly, but Ukraine’s constitution also forbids the ceding of land.” – Al Jazeera Staff and News Agencies

Like clockwork, the pattern repeats: campaign on the struggles of the people, then govern (or in this case, pre-govern) from a beachside villa with infinity pools and $500 spa treatments.” – Lucia Szlosarek

Democrats really do want you dead – “Because Normal Americans understand the Second Amendment and why the Founders wrote it, they’re comfortable with citizens keeping and bearing arms. They understand that right isn’t limited to handguns, nor does it have anything to do with target shooting, hunting or militia membership. They know the primary reason for the Second Amendment is to allow Normal Americans to deter tyranny, and if necessary, to defeat a totalitarian government. Individuals have rights; governments have powers. The Bondi Beach massacre and the Brown University attack starkly reveal the differences in these philosophies and their consequences. When an attack happens, the police will virtually never be there in time. Attackers will have considerable time to kill. If citizens are universally disarmed by law or are obeying “gun-free zone” signs, they’ll be unable to fight back. Australia is essentially a gun-free zone; so is Brown University.’ – Mike McDaniel

Punish 1—Terrify 100 – “The Nazis had a tactic to suppress rebellion. They would execute 10 for any German soldier killed by the resistance. This tactic is now being adopted by the EU and possibly the US. These things get tried-out in the EU first before making their way across the Atlantic. But make it, it likely will, such that Europe and the United States, before too long, will be unrecognizable. As Americans we see shutdowns of West-coast blue state, oil refineries, which will limit our ability to travel—but that’s just the beginning. The EU has sanctioned 2 Swiss analysts, one of whom, Jacques Baud (retired Swiss intelligence colonel), is a self-effacing, kind, fact-centered voice, accused of spreading conspiracy theories in support of Russia. How so? Jacques quoted a Ukrainian spokesperson, before the Russian invasion, forecasting a push for Ukraine to join NATO left Russia with 1 option—to invade. ” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

Freedom Lovers Aren’t ‘Fascists’ – “There’s nothing ‘right-wing’ about defending the Bill of Rights. Being called “right-wing” or “fascist” is detestable. The label implies a preference for dictatorship, authoritarianism, and government supremacy over personal freedom. The exact opposite is true. I would describe myself as a supporter of autarchism in the sense that we should rule ourselves and not be ruled by others.

Plan A to rob Russia fails, so Euro elites’ Plan B is steal from their citizens – “The European Union is captured by warmongering, thieving fascists who will do anything to satiate their Russophobic fantasies. Plan A was to rob Russia’s sovereign wealth and hand it over to the corrupt Ukrainian NeoNazi regime to keep waging the proxy war against Russia. Ursula von der Leyen and a cabal of Russophobic Euro elites had pushed the heist plan for months. Despite the deceptive legalistic rhetoric about a “reparations loan,” the scheme was too much to bear for several EU states, who saw through it as a reckless, grand “theft.” Even the European Central Bank and the IMF warned against the scheme, as it would destabilize the credibility and long-term financial viability of the European Union.” – Strategic Culture Foundation

Gold and silver march higher – “Soaring silver’s upwards march is set to continue, given the ongoing systemic squeeze. Furthermore, gold threatens to make new highs, exacerbating a silver pricing crisis. The background to a developing market liquidity crisis in derivatives is signalled by higher precious metal prices. It is a combination of liberation from long-term price suppression (silver, platinum, palladium, copper) and a rapidly deteriorating inflation outlook being signalled by gold. Central bankers have a history of mismanagement of their currencies, so their current guidance that inflation is a receding problem could not be more wrong. ” · Alasdair Macleod
