THE BIG PICTURE

Geo-engineered Fire Bombs = Directed Energy Weapons not Climate Change – “It is playing out like a 4th of July fireworks display with the finale being a ratcheted torrent of bombs bursting in air! Ordinary people are on edge, their tongues quick to lash out with anger and even rage. Are we in the midst of a geoengineered tit-for-tat war? The media overwhelmingly claim the Maui fire was caused by climate change. Why? Because the topsy-turvydom world claims everything nefarious is now caused by climate change. Vax deaths are because of – climate change. Plane crashes are – climate change. Citywide chaos is caused by – climate change. All because The Media says so.” – Helena Glass

Maui Wildfires and the Theft of Sacred Hawaiian Land (VIDEO) – “Aside from the federal government’s bureaucratic failure, Hawaiians have good reason to be suspicious of the recent fires. Local residents have been reporting bright flashes of light. One was captured by a home security camera that appears to have been the start of the Olinda fire. Many people are saying that it was Directed Energy Weapons. We know that most major governments already have them. And during the California fires, online weather maps recorded what looks like a laser from above striking an area just before it bursts into flames.” – Greg Reese  – A MUST WATCH FROM GREG.

We discuss the many failures and ineptitudes of the government during its ongoing response, the many different anomalies that have been observed by the local population, as well as some very relevant US military installations in the island that overlook all of it. ” – The Last American Vagabond   – LINKED ONE BY RYAN YESTERDAY HERE’S ANOTHER GOOD ONE.

Many lost during pandemic, but Fauci and others made bank – “The pandemic lockdowns were a terrible idea. They didn’t stop the spread of COVID-19, but they did do a number on a large number of small businesses. Even many of those who got funds to try and stay open had a difficult time. And not everyone got the money. However, it seems that while many of us had to struggle just to make it through those lockdowns, not everyone did.” – Tom Knighton

The Irish End is Nigh. – “The post-pandemic phoney world is about to come crashing down. So, let’s speak freely while we still can. In Ireland, we live in a completely failed political system furnished with a gargantuan, ever expanding, failed administrative state. We often utter these words casually but it is worth a moment of our time, to pause, and soak in the words. To contemplate exactly what a failed political system and state means. Plainly, it means our politics is killing us. And it is killing the people who defend this bonkers system just as surely as it’s killing those of us who recognise its psychopathy. Our political system, both the people in it and people defending it, are not going to save us, or indeed, themselves” – Gerry O’Neill –  LONG, BUT GREAT READ FROM GERRY.

Biden shows his true colors in his me-first Maui disaster response – “Joe Biden is clueless. His ham-fisted response to this disaster keeps getting worse and worse and worse. First, he glibly announced that neither he, nor his vice president, Kamala Harris would visit the disaster area. Then he went on vacation, putting in another beachside time-out, as if there wasn’t an apocalypse going on the other side of the country. After that, returning from his restful rendezvous, he was asked about the scope of the disaster by a reporter, which by then had claimed 93 dead. His response? “No comment.” And then he, kid you not, grinned.” – Monica Showalter

Here’s a $700 stimmy, Jack! Biden Admin offers a meager $50 million in emergency aid to Maui residents, while Ukraine proposal seeks 500x more money – “The Biden Administration announced Monday that Maui residents may qualify for a whopping “one-time $700 payment per household” for hurricane relief efforts. No, sadly, this is not a joke. The tweet came from the official White House account. And that’s it for now, Jack! Zelensky and the gang need F-16s, after all. Enjoy your $700 stimmy while inflation is flying and gas is at $5 a gallon for regular on Maui. Hope it lasts more than a few days!” – Jordan Schachtel

Trump, Giuliani, Meadows among 19 indicted in Georgia 2020 election probe – “Trump, 77, faces 13 counts in the case, matching a docket prematurely posted to the Fulton County Superior Court’s website around noon. “And what about those Indictment Documents put out today, long before the Grand Jury even voted, and then quickly withdrawn? Sounds Rigged to me! Why didn’t they Indict 2.5 years ago? Because they wanted to do it right in the middle of my political campaign. Witch Hunt!” – Trump” – Samuel Chamberlain and Victor Navages 

How Will Trump’s Fourth Indictment – And RFK Jr. – Influence The Election Season? – “Another month brings another indictment of Donald Trump” – Moon of Alabama

The ham sandwich indictment in Fulton County – “This grand jury’s ability to hear, process, and consider 41 counts and the intricacies of racketeering in a mere 10 hours is nothing short of remarkable. Gather ’round as we delve into the latest courtroom drama that has left legal minds across the nation scratching their heads.” – Jim Daws

So Now, Out of Fulton County – “The only check and balance on Trump being President from jail is impeachment, which is a political process, and you need two-thirds of the Senators voting to remove the person in question — not a simple majority. Thus no matter how many times they indict Trump or even convict him they can’t bar him from running for President. If he wins despite all that they also can’t stop him from taking office. The gambit here is thus a belief that the more you pile on the more you damage Trump as a candidate. That’s by no means assured — in fact you might well do the exact opposite.” – Karl Denninger  – SOME GOOD ANALYSIS FROM KARL!!!!

Trump Has Been Charged by the Epitome of a Kangaroo Court… But There’s a Bright Side – “Some might say it’s not much of a bright side but I’m hopeful and faithful. I believe it will work out in the end. President Donald Trump has been officially charged in Fulton County, Georgia, for a list of crimes so sinister one would think he plotted to destroy America. Of course, the people who are going after him among the various Deep State proxies ARE trying to destroy America. It’s so ludicrous it would be comical if it didn’t mean the demise of our nation.” – JD Rucker

If Saying An Election Is Stolen Is A Crime, Why Isn’t Stacey Abrams In Prison? – Jordan Boyd

Biden Administration’s Attack on Youth Hunting: An Assault on Heritage and Rights – “The Biden administration’s latest move is more than just an attack on our Second Amendment rights; it’s an attack on our way of life, heritage, and culture. For years the anti-gun crowd has told us, “You don’t need an AR-15 to hunt”, all while proclaiming their support for hunters saying they would never try to ban hunting or hunting firearms. They have now decided to go after hunting and are starting with the youth of America.

U.S. Capitalism and Why the Glut of ‘Wonder Weapons’ to Ukraine Won’t Make a Difference – “It is slowly and reluctantly dawning on Western officials and their servile media that the Ukraine counteroffensive is failing. Not only the two-month-old counteroffensive but indeed the entire conflict. Ukraine hasn’t a chance of prevailing against Russia’s superior forces. Still, the violence and killing go on.

The Summer of Fraying Threads – “Matters have reached the point where the imperial masters will be forced to choose between a humiliating disengagement and abandonment of Ukraine to its fate — or otherwise blunder into a calamitous direct military intervention. This war has achieved precisely the opposite effect envisioned by its imperious authors: it has served to strengthen Russia, and also forged an unbeatable alliance between Russia, China, and Iran. Like its new allies in Russia and Iran, China has now declared in unmistakable terms that it will no longer abide by the arbitrary “rules-based international order”.” – William Schryver

What Consumers Earn in Interest Income vs. What they Pay in Interest Expense – “after having gotten ripped off for years by the Fed’s interest-rate repression and QE, and after having gotten screwed by their banks that pay 0.2%, they’re taking their money where the income is, and this movement of funds has forced banks to pay more or lose deposits and collapse, and interest income has surged. With the biggest portion of household debt just about locked in at these 3% rates, only new auto loans, interest-bearing credit-card debt, personal loans, etc. have seen higher interest rates and higher interest payments.” – Wolf Richter

The unemployment rate peaked at 14.7 percent, the highest in the post-World War II period. Inflation reached its highest rate in 40 years, prompting the Fed to raise short-term interest rates to their highest levels since 2007. As of June 2023, the economy hit another dubious milestone: Inflation has now reached 3,000 percent under the Federal Reserve.” – Thomas L. Hogan

However, recent discoveries revealed otherwise – these crops can actually enhance the overall health and yield of our homestead ventures.” – Michael B

If there is one thing that can help you above all else when you are preparing to survive a FEMA takeover, it’s intel. You need to know what is going on in your area of operation and that is before and after a disaster. You need to open those intel channels now and not wait until the disaster or this plan is not going to work out. One of the saddest things about America today is that you do not know who lives in your neighborhood. Odds are you have people just like this in your community.

The Digital Lives Of Others – “The merger into a fascist system of total surveillance began in secret not long after the Internet emerged as a preferred tool for information, communication, and socialization. The opportunities for exploitation in the concealment of truth and to manage perceptions and minds proved irresistible. One could argue that was the entire motive of the digital revolution—to distract, surveil, manage, and control the masses at ever-increasing speeds with increasingly deceptive sophisticated algorithms. To be free from their system of entrapment, to liberate oneself from this globally interconnected digital gulag requires the conscious and continuous pursuit of privacy. One must desire privacy, and actively seek it. The ultimate gateway to privacy online is anonymity.” – The Good Citizen

The “Free-Speech Twitter” PSYOP – “It’s never a very enjoyable experience, facing the fact that you’ve been bamboozled. Realizing that you’ve fallen prey to an elaborate con, or PYSOP, is painful. It’s embarrassing. People feel ashamed. No one likes to see themselves as a sucker. It’s humiliating. It makes people angry. It makes them want to lash out at someone. The funny thing is, it usually isn’t the person who conned them that they want to lash out at. Yes, that’s right, the jig is up. The bloom is off the rose. The cat is out of the bag. The party is over. The thrill is gone. Folks are finally starting to realize that “free-speech Twitter” was an elaborate con (or a PSYOP, depending on how paranoid you are), and they’re none too happy about this realization. So, they’re taking it out on blasphemers like me who tried to warn them about The Emperor Elonicus, and how the Twitter Files was a textbook limited hangout,” – CJ Hopkins  – GOOD ONE FROM CJ, AND THE GOOD CITIZEN HAD A SIMILAR POST LINKED ON FRIDAY AOUT THIS AS WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No Mas – “Karma is God’s hickory switch, and almost always applied with a cosmic chortle. Things come around when a certain excess cargo of cognitive dissonance breaks the brains of those just struggling to carry on. The country has had enough — enough walking-talking hypocrisies, enough trips laid on it, enough Tik-tok lectures from the nose-rings-for-lunch-bunch. We’re at the end of something and the beginning of something new. As in: an ass-beating is coming down. Cue one Oliver Anthony, southern country boy with a flaming red beard and a new anthem for millions sore-beset by the relentless effronteries of the ruling elites. Perhaps the final insult galvanizing all this sentiment in a song was Merrick Garland’s devious Friday afternoon announcement — when, theoretically, no one was paying attention — that he appointed US Attorney David Weiss as Special Counsel in the Hunter Biden matter.” – James Howard Kunstler  –  GOOD ONE FROM MR.

Is Anyone Surprised? Left-Wing Media Doesn’t Like ‘Rich Men North Of Richmond’ – “As soon as working men speak up in a way that runs contrary to the narrative, leftists seek to slap them back down again… Leftists across America have been triggered. That’s probably not going to come as a shock to anyone, but the establishment media and woke social media response to Oliver Anthony’s gritty coal country ballad ‘Rich Men North Of Richmond’ is less than enthusiastic.” – Tyler Durden

Now THAT Is Ridiculous – “There is a point that the in-your-face fraud reaches where one must (see) that there is no longer a functional law enforcement capacity within a part of the government. In this case that’s the entire Federal government, as this is the DOJ itself and the AG of the nation, Garland: Attorney General Merrick Garland on Friday appointed U.S. Attorney David Weiss a special counsel in the Hunter Biden probe, as well as any other matters that arose or may arise from that investigation. That alone is enough to drag Garland out of office by his hair. But there’s more: The appointment appears to be facially-illegal and Garland knows damn well that it is.” – Karl Denninger

Do People Change? – “To not seek truth outside this complex is to deny one’s freedom and to determine not to change even when it is apodictic that things are falling apart and all innocence is being drowned in a sea of lies. It’s all noise, all signal – no silence. Change begins with desire, at the personal and public level. It takes courage to face the ways we have all been wrong, missed opportunities, shrunk back, lied, refused to consider alternatives. Everyone senses that the U.S. is proceeding down a perilous road now. Everything is out of joint, the country heading for hell.” – Edward J. Curtin, Jr.

This war in Ukraine has simply been the largest money grab in recent history rivaling COVID. Biden is asking for another $24 billion in aid to Ukraine. At this point, it is nearly comical because most of us realize that Ukraine is going to ask for aid indefinitely, and our politicians willfully comply because that’s in their best interests as well.” – Martin Armstrong

When All Crimes Are Those Against the State – “But when governments that are already habitually overreaching appear to be going mad, it’s a good idea to step back and calmly examine whether there might not be a method in the madness. On the surface, quite a few governments – most notably First World governments – have been passing a plethora of laws for which there is no victim but for which the government is the recipient of damages. As if coincidentally, these same governments have been going in precisely the opposite direction with regard to crimes in which there most definitely is a victim. Let’s have a look at a few of those.” – Jeff Thomas

Hating fossil fuels is such a luxury belief – “The eco-aristocracy has no idea of the horrors that would be unleashed by phasing out oil and coal. It is beyond ridiculous. We’re in an energy crisis.

While the Department of Homeland Security insists that America’s borders are secure and that illegal immigration is under control, small towns across the country struggle to deal with spiking fentanyl deaths, transnational crime networks, and forced multiculturalism that often drives a wedge within communities. International trade deals that were negotiated and signed by residents of D.C. have hollowed out once thriving industrial towns and left multiple generations of blue-collar workers poor and adrift. The “Rust Belt” has never been more corroded, yet Wall Street and Washington seem to be doing better than ever.” – J.B. Shurk

On the other side stand those of us who know that biology is real, and that every cell in the human body is sexed, and that a man is as likely to become a woman as that chalice of wine is to become the blood of Christ during Mass (apologies, Catholics). You’ll never guess which side some New Atheists are taking in this clash between delusion and truth. The crazy side. The side that says a bloke with a beard and balls can literally be a lesbian.” – Brendan O’Neill

“Shoeless Joe” and the Fixing of the Biden Scandal – “‘Roughly 100 years ago, “Shoeless” Joe Jackson admitted that, as a player for the Chicago White Sox, he and seven other teammates had intentionally lost the World Series to the Cincinnati Reds in 1919. When a kid stopped him outside of the grand jury room and asked “It ain’t true, is it, Joe?” Jackson responded “Yes, kid, I’m afraid it is.” This is not a case of history repeating itself. After being confronted by allegations of a fixed investigation, Attorney General Merrick Garland just sent Shoeless Joe back into the game. The appointment of Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss as the new special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden left many with the same disbelief as that kid in Chicago. This is, after all, the same Weiss who headed an investigation that was trashed by whistleblowers, who alleged that his investigation had been fixed from the outset.”- Jonathan turley

Niger May be the Next US Proxy War – “People who recall how the United States and its NATO partners (along with their propaganda mouthpieces in the news media) generated public support for a proxy war in Ukraine may be experiencing a sense of déjà vu. A similar effort is now underway with respect to Niger and other countries in West Africa. Washington is upset about a recent military coup in Niger, which was the latest ouster of a pro-Western government in that region. U.S. leaders are concerned not only because the coups have underscored the fading influence of France, the former colonial master, but because the insurgents have adopted a friendly stance toward Russia.” – Ted Galen Carpenter

Full Faith & Credit of a Bankrupt Insolvent Government (VIDEO) with Bill Holter – “You can’t have a third of the federal taxes paid out in interest, and that number is only going to grow over time. . . . If the markets would not collapse ahead of time, which they certainly will, but if they did not, we would get to the point where the interest would eat up all the tax receipts. That is a mathematical impossibility. We’re broke. On the other side of it, we have two rules of law. We have one rule of law if you are a liar from the left and another rule of law if you are a conservative and you don’t support the bull crap rules they are putting out there. . . .

The European Energy Crisis May Be Back Soon – “Unfortunately, the European Union bureaucrats declared the end of the energy crisis as if it were the result of decisive policy action, but the reality is that the energy problem in the EU was only diminished by purely external factors: a very mild winter and the decline in global commodity prices due to the central bank rate hikes. Thus, the energy crisis remains, and the problems of security of supply and affordability of the system persist. The European Union’s dependency on Russian gas has not been solved; it has only been disguised by a massive increase in dependency on coal (lignite) in the case of Germany and expensive liquefied natural gas imported from the rest of the world.” – Daniel Lacalle  – AND WINTER WILL SOON BE HERE AGAIN REGARDLESS OF THE SO-CALLED GLOBAL BOILING ALARMIST SCAMMERS!!!

Precedent suggests, however, that dethroning the US dollar with anything short of a full retail gold standard will be difficult.” – Robert E. Wright and Byron B. Carson, III

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

I’ve been sellin’ my soul, workin’ all day
Overtime hours for bullshit pay
So I can sit out here and waste my life away
Drag back home and drown my troubles away

It’s a damn shame what the world’s gotten to
For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is

Livin’ in the new world
With an old soul
These rich men north of Richmond, Lord knows they all
Just wanna have total control
Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do
And they don’t think you know, but I know that you do
‘Cause your dollar ain’t shit and it’s taxed to no end
‘Cause of rich men north of Richmond

I wish politicians would look out for miners
And not just minors on an island somewhere
Lord, we got folks in the street, ain’t got nothin’ to eat
And the obese milkin’ welfare

Well, God, if you’re 5-foot-3 and you’re 300 pounds
Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds
Young men are puttin’ themselves six feet in the ground
‘Cause all this damn country does is keep on kickin’ them down

Lord, it’s a damn shame what the world’s gotten to
For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is

Livin’ in the new world
With an old soul
These rich men north of Richmond, Lord knows they all
Just wanna have total control
Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do
And they don’t think you know, but I know that you do
‘Cause your dollar ain’t shit and it’s taxed to no end
‘Cause of rich men north of Richmond

I’ve been sellin’ my soul, workin’ all day
Overtime hours for bullshit pay

   THE BIG PICTURE

Climate Lockdowns – “It is rumored – it has been stated as fact by the Thing itself – that an “emergency” as regards the “climate” is this close to being declared. The Thing’s liver-spotted and quivering finger hovers over the proverbial button and aches to press it. That it will is certain. The only variable is the matter of when. Not because there is a “crisis,” of course. There almost never is. Has there ever been one? Even the acronymical emergency day – 911 – wasn’t much of one.” – Eric Peters  – ALL ABOUT CONTROL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whistleblower Karen Kingston Flees U.S. Claiming Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Advisor Dr. Robert Malone Ordered a CIA Assassination of Her (VIDEO) – “She claims to be video streaming from Mexico, where she said she had gone because it was no longer safe for her to travel in the U.S., because Dr. Robert Malone, who is an advisor to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a current candidate for the President of the United States, had allegedly worked with the CIA to put Karen on a hit list to be assassinated. I do not know whether or not Dr. Malone is guilty of the things Karen is accusing him of, and am simply reporting what she has said, but we do know that Dr. Malone has tried to restrict the free speech of others in the Alternative Media who have criticized him by suing them for millions of dollars.” – Brian Shilhavy

And the only carbon footprint they want to eliminate, is you. Brace yourself as we venture into the heart of this spine-chilling narrative, navigating the labyrinth of ominous forecasts, top-secret documents, strategic policies, and the climate change narrative that is part of a disturbing grand design.”” – The Expose  – GOOD INFORMATIVE ARTICLE FROM THE EXPOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No US Presidential Election in 2024 – “We’ve had some 8 years of this anti-Trump circus now, non-stop, Hillary, Pelosi, Adam Schiff and Robert Mueller, yada yada yada, but I don’t think we’ve reached the point before where the elections might as well be cancelled. We’re there now though. And that is a BIG point. We’ve let it come far too far.

545 vs 300 Million (VIDEO) – “It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted – by present facts – of incompetence and irresponsibility.

World Economic Forum: Reimagining Government via AI & Stakeholders – “Every action Congress initiates is dictated behind the scenes. Getting riled by their failure to actually act on their words is useless because their words don’t belong to them. They are simply following orders. Biden will not be impeached until or unless the Cartel ruling all western countries – so decides. Kamala Giggles will continue to speak like a lost child and ridiculed – until the Cartel is no longer entertained. here is no Biden Administration. There is no Biden. DeSantis is now using deep fake AI imagery to defame Trump in political campaign ads. DeSantis is – the deep fake. Christy is challenging Trump to a verbal duel? Pence can’t figure out how to pump gas? AOC is a bartender. Obama was a cocaine dealer. And anyone MAGA is being targeted for assassination.

Knowing All that We Need to Know – “Most of these “materialist types” believe that religion and spirituality is old hat superstition. Therefore anything of a metaphysical nature is cast out with the materialist bathwater. Things like rituals, archetypes, dreams, even the mysterious effect that art or music has on the human psyche, are not even considered as having much importance. As a result of these things essentially being cast aside, they are considered to be things that are “fully understood.” Fully understood to have no meaning and no importance. This, to me, has been the greatest assault to humanity in the history of mankind, ” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

Moderate Republicans Sound the Alarm on David Weiss’s Special Counsel Appointment – “Weiss’s office brokered the “sweetheart” plea deal for Hunter Biden in his tax and firearm criminal case that Judge Maryellen Norieka ultimately rejected. Rep. Nick Langworthy (R-NY) called Weiss’s appointment “a clear attempt to cover up mounting evidence from the House Oversight Committee.”” – Jordan Dixon-Hamilton

Gang violence update: another SWAT raid fatality – “Christoper Wray claims that the decision to use SWAT teams is made locally. Attorney General Merrick Garland said essentially the same thing: “The determinations of how to make arrests under arrest warrants are made based by the tactical operators in the district.” Yet the similarities of these raids would mean that the “commanders on the ground” were using the same playbook. That’s the playbook written by the Soviet KGB. This playbook recommends pre-dawn raids in which the arrested person is dazed and half-asleep. An enormous show of force is advised to terrify neighbors. Military equipment, helicopters and tanks emphasize the seriousness of the arrest” – John Dietrich  – THIS IS HOW A POLICE STATE OPERATES. JOHN WHITEHEAD AND JUDGE NAPOLITANO HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS FOR YEARS!!!!

Welcome To Biden’s Grand Illusion Of Prosperity – “‘You know, if you let me write $200 billion worth of hot checks every year, I could give you an illusion of prosperity, too.” That was then-Democratic Sen. Lloyd Bentsen back in 1988 arguing that the Reagan boom was a myth because it was bought and paid for with deficit spending, then running about $200 billion a year. What would Bentsen say today about an economy that – instead of blasting ahead at more than 4% a year at it was in 1988 – is barely eking out gains and appears headed to a downturn … despite the fact that President Joe Biden is writing $200 billion in hot checks every two months.” – I & I Editorial Board

Biden-backed electric vehicle company files for bankruptcy – “President Biden frequently extolled an electric vehicle company — in which his energy secretary heavily invested — before it declared bankruptcy on Monday. Bay Area-based electric bus and battery maker Proterra filed for Chapter 11, In 2021, the president pledged more than $10 billion from his $1.9 trillion bipartisan infrastructure plan toward zero-emission transit and school bus programs. He has promoted Proterra several times since taking office, and once virtually toured a facility. At the time of the tour, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm held between $1 million and $5 million in stock of the electric vehicle company, The Washington Free Beacon reported, prompting ethics concerns and calls for her divestment. Granholm raked in $1.6 million in profit after selling hundreds of thousands of shares in May 2021, months after she had first pledged to do so” – Josh Christenson  – ONCE AGAIN, THIS JUST SHOWS THAT THE EV MARKET IS A CLIMATE SCAM AND CERTAIN PEOPLE WILL MAKE MONEY OFF OF IT WHILE WHAT USED TO BE THE MIDDLE CLASS PAYS MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Illusion of Influence”: The Media Moves the Goalpost Again on Biden Corruption Coverage – “With the new disclosures in the Biden corruption scandal, the media has, again, pivoted to avoid acknowledging the obvious. It now has a new demand before it will fully recognize or report on the scandal. Of course, after long repeating denials of Joe Biden that he ever knew about his son’s foreign business deals, the media must now recognize that Hunter was selling influence and access. So they have added yet another task: show Joe Biden actually accepting money.” – Jonathan Turley

Taste the Rainbow = Black Trans Lives Matter – “Someone needs to get the Bud Light treatment. The latest brand to go fully woke is Skittles. The candy company, whose tagline is “Taste the Rainbow,” has advanced even further than than they’ve ever gone in the past with their LGBTQIA+ supremacy embrace by not only bowing to the trans-agenda, but also throwing race into the mix for good measure. “Black Trans Lives Matter,” reads the packaging on their limited edition “Pride Packs.” ” – JD Rucker

If covid had an Infection Fatality Rate of 3% or more as global health officials warned, then the damage would be substantial enough to change our world for many years to come. Anyone who was not at least partially concerned about a biological disaster (or biological warfare) was probably an idiot. Anyone who was smart was prepared.

August Psychodrama – “In August, the head-shrinkers notoriously abandon their posh clientele among the managerial elites, who are left to flounder in the flotsam of their disordered lives while their shrinks go off to body-surf and drink mojitos. And so, a month that ought to be a pleasant break from routine business leaves the managers of all that routine business awash in a rising tide of their own personal misery… Among these are The People of the Blob, the folks infesting the high ranks of our government’s permanent bureaucracy, which has turned so viciously against the governed.

Tasting the Forbidden Fruit – “False price signals distorted by decades of extreme government intervention have compelled Americans into reckless spending, saving, and investment habits. The wide range of mistakes that have taken place are irreversible. Low-interest rates, courtesy of Federal Reserve balance sheet expansion, made people think they could borrow more money than they really could. The yield on the 10-Year Treasury Note is currently at about 4.11 percent. Apart from a brief moment last fall, the 10-Year Treasury yield hasn’t topped 4 percent since mid-2008. In other words, borrowing costs haven’t been this high in over 15 years. The direct consequences are obvious. And should have been expected.” – MN Gordon

In addition, most of us have jobs, which we can’t just walk away from every time we suspect a terrorist attack, a hurricane or a riot in a nearby part of the city. So, we’d need good intelligence to know the threat was real. Good intel can be hard to come by.

   THE BIG PICTURE

COVID WAS A MILITARY OPERATION? – “It was never about health….It was about control. It may be no coincidence that Australia, New Zealand, US, Canada and the UK were among the hardest hit countries for lockdowns and vax mandates. We lost our freedom of speech and freedom of movement and we have endured mass media censorship. Our government inflicted immense draconian measures never before seen in a democracy. People died needlessly, families destroyed, businesses destroyed and the economy trashed. One Australian Senator, Malcolm Roberts says it like it is… view his 10 minute speech in the Senate on 9 August. Fabulous! Hard hitting.” – Phillip Altman  – SPEECH LINKED BELOW, A MUST WATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our Nightmare is Their Utopia – “The United States is just waiting on divorce papers, the separation is already here. What is free speech to the right is deemed a felony to the left. What is legally challenging an election to the right is an insurrection to the left. This isn’t about fair, or right, or justice. This is the playbook; the time-honored communist procedure.

Which means that she confirms, in her own words, the creepy Joe Biden is an alleged sex predator, pervert, pedophile and all-around jerk who took showers with his young daughter.” – Dave Hodges

A Psychology Study from the 1970s Suggests an Uncomfortable Truth about Morality – “The Darley-Batson study (1973) suggests we very well might be capable of doing things we believe ourselves incapable of doing—based on the situation in which we find ourselves. Darley and Batson met with a group of seminarians, individually, and asked each one to prepare a short, extemporaneous talk on a given biblical theme, then walk over to a nearby building to present it. Along the way to the presentation, each student ran into a man slumped in an alley, head down, eyes closed, coughing and groaning. The question was, who would stop and help? The results? Well, if you are thinking that a student who had said he had entered the faith to help others might be more inclined to stop and help the man in the alley, you’d be wrong. Likewise, if you thought someone who had just heard the story of the Good Samaritan might be more inclined to stop and help, you’d also be wrong.” – Jon Miltimore

The Crisis At The Window – “For about six months, starting last winter, Western media talked about a Ukrainian counter-offensive that was supposed to change the direction of the war.

Niger Blasts NATO’s Global Narrative Wide Open – “Niger’s coup leaders believe they must first rid the region of the French and American military and then boot out their fifth columnists in the military, the media and the NGOs.” – Declan Hayes

Niger rejects rules-based order – “Enter Niger. The most recent developments in Niger underscore the leitmotif of the Russia-Africa summit. Russia’s prognosis of the African crisis stands vindicated — the continuing ravages of Western imperialism. This is evident from the reports of Russian flags seen at demonstrations in Niamey, Niger’s capital. The rebels who seized power lost no time to denounce Niger’s military-technical cooperation agreements with France, which has been followed up with the demand that France withdraw its troops within 30 days.” – M. K. Bhadrakumar

US Helped Engineer A Coup Against Pakistan’s PM Khan Over Ukraine Stance – “Over a year ago Imran Khan produced a document at a public rally and described it as a diplomatic cable which proved the United States was leading a secret campaign to oust him as prime minister. His opponents, and the international community, shrugged off the allegations. The Intercept has published a bombshell report based on a diplomatic “cypher” – or a secret cable – which appears to vindicate Khan’s prior assertions of a conspiracy against him by Washington. Crucially, it points to Khan’s weakness on the Ukraine war as a prime motivating factor in the US seeking his removal. ” – Tyler Durden

June’s drop continues a steep downward trend from the unprecedented highs experienced during much of the past two years. Money supply growth can often be a helpful measure of economic activity and an indicator of coming recessions. During periods of economic boom, money supply tends to grow quickly as commercial banks make more loans. Recessions, on the other hand, tend to be preceded by slowing rates of money supply growth. ” – Ryan McMaken

Who Will Stop Earth Burning? – “The Evening Standard, a free London paper, produced a dramatic front page this evening. In an exclusive interview, the UN’s new climate chief tells world leaders “you’re the ringmasters in fight to save planet”. For Britons, the alarm bells of ‘global boiling’ have translated to merely donning jumpers and wielding umbrellas during what should be the sunnier months of July and August. While parts of the globe have indeed felt the sting of heatwaves, and there are murmurs of sea surface temperatures reaching record highs this year, is this really anthropomorphic climate change?

Always Follow the … ‘Incentives.’ – “It took me a while, but I get it now. To illustrate my point, I can reference two “public health leaders” in my own state as case studies. The first example is Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo, who previously served as director of UAB’s Division of Infectious Diseases, and was recently named as Dr. Anthony Fauci’s successor at the NIAD. The second example is Dr. Karen Landers, one of the top officials at the Alabama Department of Public Health and the primary media spokesperson for this high-profile public health agency. I also do not think either person could have risen to these high-ranking positions without having some intelligence. At some point, it must have occurred to both individuals that the positions they were championing weren’t necessarily supported by certain statistics, data or scientific studies. Still, they supported all of these false or dubious positions. Also, significantly, they took absolutely no steps to debunk any of these false or dubious narratives. So what consequences have these alleged experts suffered from being spectacularly and stunningly wrong about so many important public health subjects? Answer: There were no negative consequences. In fact, the careers of both ladies flourished. ” – Bill Rice Jr.  – GOVERNMENT. THE ONLY PLACE WHERE BEING WRONG IS REWARDED!!!!!!!!!!

Totalitarianism Has Metastasized – “The United States is rapidly becoming an oppressive totalitarian society. The totalitarianism that is overwhelming America does not rely on imposition by government as in George Orwell’s novel 1984. It is imposed by the leading institutions of the society, such as the American Board of Internal Medicine, the Chase Bank, the universities, the media, the Democrat Party, school boards, corporations. What Americans face is the hard fact that the major institutions of their society no longer believe in the US Constitution and the civil liberties it protects, such as independent thought, free speech, and the rule of law.” – Paul Craig Roberts

In Chicago, predators literally roam the streets in their vehicles in the middle of the day looking for someone to attack. There are more than 1,000 identifiable gangs in the city of Chicago today, and mafia-style killings have become quite common… I don’t want to just pick on Chicago, and so let’s talk about major cities on the west coast for a bit.

A Ukrainian strike on the major bridge linking Russia’s mainland with the Crimean Peninsula, timed precisely for the ending of the grain agreement provoked a massive retaliation strike by Russian forces severely damaging the Odessa and nearby grain shipping ports.

Her recent sojourn to Niger was punctuated with this comment, “If the US determines that a democratically elected government has been toppled by unconstitutional means, federal law requires a cutoff of most American assistance, particularly military aid.” The response from Niger was to ask Wagner Group to help repel any western attempts to intervene.” – Helena Glass

Victoria Nuland Has Gone To Africa – “Victoria Nuland has gone to Africa. Gone to Africa to talk some sense into the Nigeriens and convince them to return to the shackles of Paris. Gone to Africa to harvest blood diamonds and cobalt. Gone to Africa to masturbate on Gaddafi’s grave. Gone to Africa to trade glass beads for slaves.” – Caitlin Johnstone

      THE BIG PICTURE  ( THE STATE OF EDUCATION EDITION )

Indoctrination, Intimidation & Intolerance: What Passes for Education Today – “This is what it means to go back-to-school in America today. Instead of being taught the three R’s of education (reading, writing and arithmetic), young people are being drilled in the three I’s of life in the American police state: indoctrination, intimidation and intolerance. Indeed, while young people today are learning first-hand what it means to be at the epicenter of politically charged culture wars, test scores indicate that students are not learning how to succeed in social studies, math and reading. Instead of raising up a generation of civic-minded citizens with critical thinking skills, government officials are churning out compliant drones who know little to nothing about their history or their freedoms.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

Back to school brush up on health facts – “Stats with cats reminds you that youth covid is predominantly a condition of adult anxiety. Well, it’s back to school season again and you know what that means: it’s time for the branch covidian stalwarts to once more wake from summer slumber with tales of doom, gloom, and unrelenting, uncalibrated fear about the risks of covid to children as our youngsters seek to find a path to edification and education.” – El Gato Malo

Education, Social Engineering, and Hope and Change – “Best get a compass and a map to go with your hope if you want to reach True North. If one is willing to venture outside their own little space of Credentialism Fee-Fees and explore the world with genuine curiosity and humility, oh the places you will go. If one merely wants to go to the party and feel special and drive a Dodge Stratus, then oh, the places you will not go.” – Sage Hana   – AND SPEAKING OF EDUCATION.  GOOD ONE FROM SAGE AS IS THE NEXT ONE!!!!

The Infuriating Climate Alarm – “In the UK, we all know that this summer has been rubbish. We had a few weeks of glorious sunshine in June and since then it’s been bloody miserable. It’s been cold, wet and the dog has got trench-foot. Which isn’t great because he stinks at the best of times—bless him. Yet, according to the UN Secretary General and blithering buffoon, António Guterres, we’ve entered the “era of global boiling.” Though not in the UK—or anywhere else for that matter Just as we were during the pseudopandemic, we are once again invited to reject the evidence of our own senses and “trust” whatever we are told by the “experts,” although Guterres is not a meteorologist.” – Iain Davis

This time it’s the “Eris” variant, named after the Greek goddess of strife and discord, it supposedly is causing a spike in cases for the first time in…who cares how long.

ENERGY RESOURCES: Plundering Lithium While Exporting Oil & Gas – “Plundering resources is the amped up gamut parlayed by ‘intelligence operatives’ seeking means to take from others – and if they do not comply their government will be couped. According CSIS, the newest plundering is focused on Chile, Argentina and Brazil. The resources: Lithium, gold, and copper. The reasoning; electric vehicle sales will become 60% of the global market by – 2030 – and lithium and gold are essential to that delivery. This would indicate that the true resource that CSIS is diverting attention from is Graphene. The largest reserves of Graphene come from Turkey, China, Brazil and Mozambique. Therefore plundering will necessitate some power manipulations. Given China has become persona-non-grati, that would leave Turkey, Brazil and Mozambique as potential colonies. The problem with graphene is the ‘finite reserves’ which are ‘scientifically predicted’ to be depleted by – 2030. The magic number that is running the globe – 2030 when all things earth will succumb to the WEF Agenda” – Helena Glass

Cartel ‘Soldiers’ Are Crossing the Southern Border, Carrying Rifles and Wearing Body Armor – ““Move along, nothing to see.” That’s the line America is still getting from the Biden administration about the border. In fact, they’ve moved the goalposts by switching the way they count illegal immigrants flowing over the southern border. Biden has moved numbers to make it appear, on paper, that illegal crossings are down. Way down. They just moved numbers from one column to a new column.” – Jim Thompson – INVASION AT THE BORDER, BUT LET’S JUST SEND MONEY TO UKRAINE AND DISARM ARE OWN CITIZENS HERE.

J. B. Pritzker and company set to ban certain marketing schemes that are ‘harmful’ to ‘minors’- “When you kinda (but definitely) look like the Batman super villain Penguin, and you also act like a Gotham mobster—red flag. “Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) has already pledged to sign the marketing ban when it reaches his desk.” Okay, no surprise there, the government intervening and tyrannizing the “free” market and private enterprise is nothing new; but then we find a quote from Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul, a Democrat, giving us a clue as to where this is going. We’ve gone after the marketing that has historically driven up the consumption by minors for those products that are harmful to them. Oh! Could it be Dr. Frankenstein selling “top surgery” to young girls on TikTok? Or maybe the abortion collectives and “telehealth” agencies that target children on social media, or advertise on Google, and send dangerous pharmaceuticals unregulated through the mail? What about corporations like Target or Kohl’s that promote the sexualization of infants and toddlers by mentally ill adults, all under the pretense of visibility and acceptance? Nope, none of those!

The Ukraine Mess is Animal Farm in Reverse: Starring Blackrock and Other Pigs – “In all, some 47 countries have given money and arms to Ukraine. “The numbers, as you would expect, do not all add up. A U.S. News & World Reports story from earlier this year claimed total aid to Zelensky’s country had exceeded €150 billion as of January of this year. Again, why? The answer, this time, is really simple. BlackRock, and the new investment initiative to rebuild Ukraine (whatever’s left of it) “Why?” Is there any doubt about why some poor untrained bartender from Kyiv is in a foxhole being bombarded by Russian artillery? Doesn’t all the misleading media, inflated Ukraine military gains, and Joe Biden’s cock of the walk attitude toward a peace deal make more sense now? And Ursula, the lady I fondly refer to as Frau von der Clucky for her chicken-like pecking and strutting about while millions either die or are in harm’s way because of all the Western world barnyard antics right out of Orwell’s Animal Farm.

‘Bidenomics’ Has Been A Disaster – “Unsurprisingly, “Bidenomics” is failing to gain traction among voters. This has caused consternation in the media. One thing to remember, though, is that “Bidenomics” isn’t really a thing. Unlike, say, “Reaganomics,” which helped bring about the largest expansion of the middle class in world history, the president does not subscribe to any coherent or tangible set of economic theories or principles. The White House defines its economic policy as being “rooted in the recognition that the best way to grow the economy is from the middle out and the bottom up,” which is just platitudinous gibberish.” – David Harsanyi

mRNA Covid Shots Should Be Labeled ‘Gene Therapy Products,’ Peer-Reviewed Study Warns – “An explosive peer-reviewed study has warned that mRNA Covid shots are being incorrectly classified in an effort to bypass regulations for public use. Researchers behind a study published in the renowned International Journal of Molecular Sciences are urging regulatory agencies to consider the safety issues associated with the rapid approval of COVID-19 vaccines. They are calling on federal government agencies to correctly classify messenger RNA (mRNA) shots as gene therapy products (GTPs).” – Frank Bergman

What news is suppressed? That the USA is worse than dead broke. That the people were poisoned, apparently on-purpose. That the spectral “Joe Biden” sold out our country. That the war we started in Ukraine, on purpose, for no good reason, is about to be lost, and with it our standing around world. That there actually is such a criminal organism as the Blob at large in our government, responsible for the astounding abnormality immersing us. But never mind all that… for now, just go see Barbie.

A new indictment with four charges in respect to the events of 6 Jan has been issued to former President Trump – who has now been charged with more than 75 crimes. These latest charges however are likely only to further eradicate confidence in the Federal Justice process, and in the integrity of the American political system itself. ” – Alastair Crooke

The man was certain that everyone who was in earshot of his joyous shout, agreed with his sentiments. He witnessed my silence. “Don’t you agree?” he goaded me, a near-stranger, still shouting. “Don’t you?” Finally I responded, “I am not sure that this sets a great precedent. Every sitting President in the future will try to indict his or her political opponent.” He cut off the discussion — a reaction, from the Left, to which I am getting accustomed — and headed inside.” – Dr Naomi Wolf

Indicting a President is a New Development in America’s Decline: How It Happened – “A US president is surrounded by legal counsel. It is not possible for a president to go around breaking scores of laws. Normally such phony indictments as Trump faces would not be possible. Not only has no president in US history been previously indicted, the political party he represents would be up in arms pointing out the absurdity and political nature of the indictments. The indicting party would be overwhelmed with criticism and exposure. But not in Trump’s case. Why? He threw down the gauntlet to the ruling powers, but had no idea who to appoint who would support his challenge and was quickly staffed up with his establishment enemies. Consider Trump’s chosen vice president, Mike Pence. Consider Trump’s attorney general, the establishment figure William Barr. Now consider President Trump’s chosen national security advisor, John Bolton.” – Paul Craig Roberts  – GOOD READ FROM DR. ROBERTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because there is a real chance they would not. “Crazy talk? Yeah, but the crazy talk came from the lying piehole of our dust puppet alleged chief executive. He shamelessly told us – like he shamelessly told us he fired that Ukrainian prosecutor as part of the Delaware Corleone crime club’s corruptorama – that he absolutely would not let Trump take office again. Sure, he qualified it by claiming, in his own grammatically challenged way, that he would only employ “legitimate efforts of the Constitution,” but we have seen that, among other things, his idea of the “legitimate efforts of the Constitution” “ includes using his DOJ to frame the ex-president/his chief political rival. – Kurt Schlichter

A ‘2-Bit’ Fix – “What’s a ‘2-bit’ fix? Growing-up, when dimes and quarters were silver, they were referred to as ‘bits’ of a dollar’—which was 8-bits. Half dollars were 4-bits; quarters were 2-bits. Now, coinage (made from base metals), has gone out of style. As ‘bits’ of a failing dollar, with no support but fake ‘faith/trust’, there is little support for their existence. Ironically, silver coins that went away in the mid-60’s are back—and for good reason. 1 oz. gold/silver ‘American Eagles’ are bought as insurance protection for a coming calamitous dollar collapse—caused by the same US government that issued them. ” – neverhadaboss.com

A clue for Mr Chadwick – snow falls in winter on Greenland, and in summer it melts. If it did not melt, the ice cap would grow every year. By the time we get to winter, all of that area in the image will be covered with snow again. Every summer the Greenland ice cap loses approximately 200 Gt, and this summer is no different. In fact, the snow melt began much later than normal, thanks to a cold, snowy June.

Those idols are mostly political and religious idols, with the country solidly divided between “Left” and “Right” ideologies. “Truth” is evaluated based on these false prophets from both sides of political and religious ideologies and dogma.

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK ( R.I.P.  RANDY )

All alone at the end of the evening
When the bright lights have faded to blue
I was thinking ’bout a woman who might have
Loved me and I never knew
You know I’ve always been a dreamer
(Spent my life running ’round)
And it’s so hard to change
(Can’t seem to settle down)
But the dreams I’ve seen lately
Keep on turning out and burning out
And turning out the same

So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time

You can spend all your time making money
You can spend all your love making time
If it all fell to pieces tomorrow
Would you still be mine?

And when you’re looking for your freedom
(Nobody seems to care)
And you can’t find the door
(Can’t find it anywhere)
When there’s nothing to believe in
Still you’re coming back, you’re running back
You’re coming back for more

So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time

Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit one more time

Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
One more time

Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Come on and
Take it to the limit
One more time

Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
You got to
Take it to the limit
One more time

Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
One more time

Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Come on and
Take it to the limit
One more time

Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
One more time

Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
One more time

( Take It To The Limit by Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Randy Meisner )
