   THE BIG PICTURE NEWS

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

How Do We Wake Up Friends Who Are Gaslit by Pfizer’s Narrative? – “Have you been told that we can’t take civil or criminal action against Big Pharma? Do you want to know why NO criminal charges have been brought against Pfizer, Moderna, J&J and others involved in the development, manufacturing, distribution, promotion, and administration of these bioweapons falsely referred to as mRNA vaccines? It could be because 99.9% of Americans are victims of extrinsic fraud, or in non-legal terms, gaslighting.” – Karen Kingston

What Will the Aristocracy Try Next? – “Now it’s more about control than money” – John Rubino  – THE CONCLUSION OF JOHN’S ARTICLE LINKED ON THURSDAY!!!

They Promised “Safe and Effective”, We Got “Sudden and Unexpected” – “Which number is larger for the number of people within your circle of friends, family, colleagues and acquaintances who: A) died of COVID since 2020, or B) were vaxxed and then died “Suddenly and Unexpectedly” What is the MSM not amplifying? They are dutifully ignoring the wave of sudden deaths among our youngsters, children and even middle aged adults. We have video montages circulating on Youtube and Rumble of the endless barrage of people dropping during live streams and sporting events, but for some reason these aren’t being run on endless loop up by the MSM.” – Mark E. Jeftovic

Why the fake CDC investigation into vaccine-induced strokes in people 65+ is a limited hangout… – “and what that tells us about the actual data” – Toby Rogers

A Manhattan Project For The Biomedical Security State: Part 1 – “Gates is the promoter, facilitator and profiteer-in-chief of the great vaccine Manhattan Project but he certainly isn’t the originator of it. The call for a biosecurity Manhattan Project dates back to the George W Bush administration. On July 11, 2019, a think tank called the Biodefence Commission held a panel discussion entitled A Manhattan Project for Biodefence: Taking Biological Threats off the Table.  Dr Robert Kadlec, the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) in the US Department of Health and Human Services (HSS) was a panellist. Fauci may be the best known of the four witnesses but Kadlec is by far the most consequential.” – Paula Jardine

CNN Medical Analyst Admits After Two Years There’s Been ‘Overcounting’ of COVID Deaths – “Nearly two years after the Covid-19 pandemic, CNN medical analyst and Washington Post columnist Dr. Lena Wen admitted that hospitals were exaggerating the number of deaths they claimed was from Covid. Wren acknowledged that “90 percent of patients diagnosed with COVID are actually in the hospital for some other illness.”” – Sarah Arnold  – WELL. LOOKIE WHO’S TRYING TO COVER HER ASS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FDA and CDC advisors accuse Moderna of withholding trial data that suggested its Covid bivalent booster was LESS effective than older shot — to secure $5bn Government order – “Vaccine advisory board say they’re ‘disappointed’ and ‘angry’ at omission ” – Meike Leonard  – OH, MY, THEY WERE DISAPPOINTED AND ANGRY. OBVIOUSLY THEY WERE NOT DOING THEIR JOB VERY WELL EITHER.  BUT 8 MICE TESTS WERE ALL IT TOOK TO APPROVE PFIZER’S BOOSTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Geoengineering Watch Global Alert News, January 14, 2023 (VIDEO) – “”California “rainpocalypse”, is there more to the story? Europe just went through it’s warmest winter temperatures in recorded history while locations in Siberia were 80 degrees below zero. What’s wrong with this picture? – Dane Wigington

The faux urgency of the climate crisis is giving us no time or space to build a secure energy future – “There is a growing realisation that emissions and temperature targets are now detached from the issues of human well-being and the development of our 21st century world.Attributing extreme weather and climate events to global warming can motivate a country to attempt to rapidly transition away from fossil fuels. However, we should not delude ourselves into thinking that eliminating emissions would have a noticeable impact on weather and climate extremes in the 21st century. ” – Judith Curry  –  SPECIAL THANKS TO MERYL NASS FOR LINKING!!!

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

At least 74 Illinois sheriff’s departments vow to defy state assault weapons ban – “The sheriffs say they believe the law violates the Second Amendment. The Illinois Sheriffs’ Association issued a statement Wednesday expressing continued opposition to the law. Simultaneously, dozens of sheriff’s offices began to post nearly identical messages promising they would not check for compliance with the law or arrest offenders of the law.” – Peter Charalambous  – IT DOES INDEED VIOLATE THE SECOND AMENDMENT. EARLIER IN THE WEEK 50 COUNTIES OUT OF 102 IN ILLINOIS WERE AGAINST THIS.NOW IT’S UP TO ALMOST 75%. ONE MUST ASK, WHO ARE THE ILLINOIS HOUSE AND SENATE MEMBERS REPRESENTING? CERTAINLY NOT THE VAST MAJORITY. WHAT IS THEIR TRUE AGENDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pritzker’s war of words with Illinois sheriffs isn’t going well for him – “Pritzker and his legislative allies like Morgan can bloviate all they like, but nothing they say will change the fact that across most of the state, neither police nor prosecutors see much use for this new law or any benefit in strictly enforcing it.” – Cam Edwards

Biden in Mexico: We’re All North Americans Now – “‘Three Amigos’ summit goes far beyond cooperation in the name of a shared ‘DNA’. Lost amid the revelations of classified documents stored next to his Corvette and whatever gaffe he might have just uttered is that a sitting U.S. president has once again openly espoused trans-nationalism while abroad. Yet the unmistakable message these representatives of supposedly sovereign countries chose to articulate was wholly dedicated to the blurring of national identities.” – Joe Schaeffer

What’s going on here with Biden’s document mishandling? – “It has been a tough week for Joe Biden. We know the severity of the scandal and the perils to national security associated with it. The fact that the Biden family has a record of corruption and ties with U.S. adversaries such as China makes the scandal considerably worse. But there are many unusual occurrences surrounding this scandal.” – Rajan Laad

The Real Scandal Behind Joe Biden’s Classified Documents Scandal – “Things get a lot worse when Hunter Biden enters the picture, and with this classified documents scandal, he has now entered the picture like the Kool-Aid man. Here, we have a probable criminal in Hunter Biden claiming on a background form that he owned Joe Biden’s house at the time when it was doubling as illegal storage for classified documents. But when you look at the form, things go from bad to worse. For some reason, Hunter Biden claimed that he was paying $49,910 in rent for Joe Biden’s Delaware residence. The house itself is only worth $2,000,000 in today’s market (and was built for a fraction of that). Why was Hunter Biden paying $49,910 in rent to his father? Where did all that money go? There’s been a lot of speculation about how Biden’s son, who is currently facing a criminal investigation for tax fraud, may have funneled cash to his father. That speculation picked up several years ago after a mention of “10 percent for the Big Guy” was found in one of Hunter Biden’s emails. Paying a comically large amount of “rent” to Joe Biden would seem to be a little suspicious, would it not?” – Bonchie

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

For Biden Supporters, No Lie Is Too Much To Break The Faith – “Media members and Biden supporters, even seeing the lies they’ve been told completely exposed, does not stop the blind love affair. The Constitutional Crisis that is the Biden regime continues to exceed previous levels of cover-up, denial, and dishonesty. Through it all, media members and other Biden supporters keep getting played for fools, but they always come back for more.” – Jeff M. Lewis

Innocence Doesn’t Matter When the Government Wants to Steal Your Money – “There’s a fault line permeating America’s criminal justice system—a built-in defect that the government can use to steal your property, even if you’re innocent. And many Americans don’t even know about it. In fact, federal, state, and local governments seize countless Americans’ property using a law called civil asset forfeiture, which allows government agencies to take, keep, and profit from someone’s money and other possessions without even charging them with a crime, much less convicting them of one. ” – Joe Setyon  – JOHN WHITEHEAD HAS WRITTEN ABOUT THIS A FEW TIMES,. I URGE EVERYONE TO READ ANY AND ALL OF JOHN’S COMMENTARIES. I HAVE LINKED NUMEROUS ARTICLE BY JOHN OVER THE YEARS AND HIS SITE IS IN THE SIDEBAR UNDER THE RUTHERFORD INSTITUTE!!!!

ATF Declares Braced Pistols Illegal, Demands Registration Or Face Jail Time – “The ATF has finally unveiled its “final rule” regarding pistol braces. According to the final rule, gun owners who possess braced firearms will have 120 days to destroy, reconfigure, register, turn in their firearms to ATF, or face NFA violations which include $250,000 in fines and a hefty prison sentence. – Gun Owners Of America.,

ECONOMIC NEWS

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

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

This May Send Gold Price Soaring To $2,100-$2,300 In A Matter Of Weeks (PODCAST ) with Gerald Celente – “in the United State the inflation rate dropped (a paltry) 0.1% and the equity markets go up. What am I, 6 years old? 0.1% equals nothing. And if you use the real numbers going back to the 1980s, the real CPI numbers before they were rigged, the real inflation rate is (at least) 14%. And gold knows it. And so do the central banksters because they’ve been buying gold in record numbers.” – King World News

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

Stand in the place where you live
Now face north
Think about direction
Wonder why you haven’t before

Now stand in the place where you work
Now face west
Think about the place where you live
Wonder why you haven’t before

If you are confused, check with the sun
Carry a compass to help you along
Your feet are going to be on the ground
Your head is there to move you around

So stand in the place where you live
Now face north
Think about direction
Wonder why you haven’t before

Now stand in the place where you work
Now face west
Think about the place where you live
Wonder why you haven’t before

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

( Stand by R.E.M. )

THE BIG PICTURE NEWS

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

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

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

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

Sic Transit Gloria COVID – “Will The HHS Finally End The Public Health Emergency? With little fanfare, HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra extended yet again the Public Health Emergency Declaration regarding COVID-19. By now, the renewals are almost by rote—and appear to be driven at this point more by the commitment made by the Biden Regime to inform the healthcare industry at least 60 days in advance should the declaration not be renewed.” – Peter Nayland Kust

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

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

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

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

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

Glug Glug, Gurgle Gurgle – ” You thought the Titanic sinking was an astounding spectacle? Looks like the ship of the Deep State got some holes ripped in its hull and may be fixing to go down sometime in 2023. The fun-and-games about voting for Speaker of the House are over. Time to get down to bidness and compel some folks to do some ‘splainin’ under oath. Forget about Fauci for the moment. First, subpoena the various deputies working under him going back as far as the twentieth century and see what they know about the twisted path that gain-of-function research on corona viruses traveled from the DOD’s DARPA to the labs of Dr. Ralph Baric at the U of North Carolina, to labs in Canada, Ukraine, and finally to Wuhan Institute of Virology in China. Time for FBI Director Christopher Wray to ‘splain’ how come he sat silently in possession of the Hunter Biden laptop — stuffed as it was with deal memoranda about payoffs from Ukraine and other foreign lands.. Summon the ghost of James Comey to ‘splain’ the finer points of RussiaGate: how he fell for Hillary Clinton’s Steele Dossier prank, Let’s hear from former CIA director John Brennan about the “17 Intel Agencies” who swore Russia was behind 2016 election interference… That’s just my short list of areas to begin excavations.

Is he, in fact, a ‘national security risk unlike any the United States has ever faced’? Does he pose a ‘severe danger’ to the American people? Is he a ‘potent’ threat to the republic itself? All those things were said in the legacy media, in tones of apocalyptic fury, when it was discovered that Donald Trump had classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. So I trust the same will be said now that Top Secret docs have been found in the building that houses Joe Biden’s think-tank and even in Biden’s own garage. Of course they won’t. ” – Brendan O’Neill

Where’s The Impeachment AND Indictment – “Sorry folks, no excuses are acceptable here. Biden has now been “caught” with classified documents in two unsecured places (late update: It appears its three locations,” – Karl Denninger

A theory of dueling Special Counsels – “Was it a plan to get rid of Biden? A plan to obstruct Congress? Or a plan to give a shot in the arm to the now-flaccid investigation directed at President Trump?” – Drew Allen  -DREW RAISES SOME GOOD POINTS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!

The ‘Garage-Gate’ Question Dana Perino Wants Karine Jean-Pierre to Answer – “In case you missed Thursday’s briefing, Jean-Pierre really wants you to know that Biden takes classified documents “very seriously.” After a pretty brutal White House press briefing on Thursday, Jean-Pierre is set to hold another briefing on Friday afternoon. Ahead of what’s sure to be a testy set of exchanges between President Biden’s spokeswoman and members of the press, Dana Perino has a question she’d like to hear Jean-Pierre answer: “When did you know about these documents?” “This doesn’t have anything to do with lawyers,” Perino noted of the question she wants to hear asked of Jean-Pierre who hid behind legal reasons to avoid answering questions. “Did they not tell her?” – Spencer Brown

No trains, no planes, no automobiles and NO GAS – Welcome to the DE-CIVILIZATION Democrat utopia – “Living in a blue state will soon be a lot like living in the 18th century, while red states will function as modern, successful societies with all the advantages of power, energy, modern transportation, heating, cooking, water and other resources. In a world of planes, trains and automobiles, in other words, Democrat-run states are determined to have NO planes, NO trains and NO automobiles. Just masses of enslaved, censored, obedient, vaccinated voters who are effectively imprisoned in giant state-sized prison camps.” – Mike Adams

Meanwhile, in Peru, there are “clashes between security forces and demonstrators,”” – Kurt Nimmo

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

How To Keep A Positive Attitude In A Survival Scenario – “One of the most lethal factors in a survival situation is not the situation itself but what is going on in your head.

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

‘Always check your assumptions’ – “Regarding my Covid “early spread” hypothesis, I keep trying to point out that an important assumption of the alleged experts has been wrong all along. Because of one false assumption, experts have ignored the most important evidence. The most important evidence actually comes from the individual case histories, from people who have convincing evidence that they did have Covid before the experts say the virus had arrived in America (January 17th, 2020 according to the first case “confirmed” by the CDC).” – Bill Rice, Jr.

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

Why is Georgia GOP Governor Brian Kemp heading to Davos? – “When the World Economic Forum released the guest list for its 2023 meeting in Davos, Switzerland, many were surprised to find that it included Georgia’s Republican Governor Brian Kemp. Kemp, who recently won re-election over far-left Democrat Stacey Abrams, will be in Davos along with the likes of Democrat governors Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan and J.B. Pritzker of Illinois.

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

The Constitution Failed.

What Caused the Political Hysteria? – “Karma, Nemesis, payback . . . and all that stuff. The Left has gone mad over Donald J. Trump—past, present, and future. The current Democratic Party and NeverTrump “conservatives” assumed that Trump was and remains so obviously toxic that they do not have to define exactly what his evil entails. Accordingly, they believe that any means necessary are justified to stop him. And furthermore, these zealots, when out of power, insist such extraordinary measures should not be emulated and institutionalized by their opponents, much less ever boomeranged back upon their creators.” – Victor Davis Hanson

What a double standard hoot. Were Trump’s documents sitting out on the street? In a garage with his Corvette? ” – Mish  – EH, NO BIG DEAL, NOTHING TO SEE HERE!!!!!!!

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

As it turns out, there are lots of Illinois residents who take their Second Amendment rights seriously, and thankfully they have at least some elected officials who feel the same way.” – Cam Edwards – THERE ARE 102 COUNTIES IN ILLINOIS AND ALREADY HALF OF THEM DON’T APPEAR TO WANT THIS LAW.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

How To Improve Your Property With Agroforestry – “Agroforestry may be easier to explain if we begin with forestry. Forestry is essentially the cultivation of trees for timber harvesting. On many timbered lands, it is frequently the sole enterprise. Agroforestry, on the other hand, is the cultivation of trees in conjunction with other types of agriculture, such as pasture or crops. Agroforestry has numerous advantages over using land for a single purpose, whether it is forestry, livestock, or crops.” – Bob Rodgers

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

You are Going to Die, Get Over It – “”What if you truly accepted death? How would you live? Would you live the life of a slave?

How futile would mass media brain washing be then? What government or army could suppress that population? When it comes to eternity, in a sense, you are already dead. You are going to die. Get over it. Once you do, you are free to live. – Dr. Joseph Sansone

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

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

Has American Culture Ever Been More Violent Than It Is Right Now? – “When a six-year-old boy shoots his first-grade teacher with a gun, that should be a sign to all of us that our culture has gotten completely out of control.

What I find a bit contradicting is what happens to those who don’t register their firearms, commit crimes and end up back on the streets? Who is this law really targeting and is it more political theater, which I believe we are all tired of watching at this point.

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

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

Because most of this water will fly down the LA River and into the ocean, an ephemeral visitor that we fail to capture or effectively utilize. In effect, God is giving us the very answer to one of California’s most vexing problems—and we’re simply letting it slip through our hands.” – Bob Hoge

When he was in office, he was not very friendly toward America, preferring to align with China and Russia.” – The Z Man

A large number of people went apeshit in Brazil over the weekend in that country’s weird, geographically isolated capital, Brasilia, a horror of 1960s-style Modernist city planning. They stormed the national congress and trashed the offices within to protest the fishy election of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva over the former incumbent Jair Bolsonaro.

The Letter That Greg Abbott Handed To Biden During Visit To U.S. Border – Daily Wire News

Biden’s New Border Strategy: Blame Republicans First – “Wait a second. Biden was able to get more than $3 trillion in new spending through Congress. He’s pushed the limits of presidential authority to achieve the things he still couldn’t get through Congress. But when it comes to the border, he couldn’t get the $3.5 billion he wanted because of the party that did not control the House or the Senate or the White House? As Biden would say, c’mon man. And that $3.5 billion Biden wanted wouldn’t have gone to border security, but to speed up the process of getting illegals in the country. As the Daily Signal points out, the recent $1.7 trillion “omnibus bill” includes a provision saying that money for the Customs and Border Protection specifically cannot be used “to acquire, maintain, or extend border security technology and capabilities, except for technology and capabilities to improve Border Patrol processing.” The only question we have is are the American people buying any of the excrement Biden is peddling?” – I & I Editorial Board

Biden Leaves El Paso Without Seeing Major Border Damage in Brief Visit – “Although Joe Biden finally visited the southern border after years of criticism, his trip was short and did not take him to any of the most heavily damaged areas, leading to further criticism of empty virtue-signaling without any substantial results. Biden’s visit to El Paso saw him briefly walk along a portion of the border that was already fenced off, then observe a port of entry where border officials searched vehicles for various contraband, such as weapons and drugs. But many critics pointed out that Biden’s visit did not encompass the areas where the worst of the migration crisis are happening, including the areas with no border of any kind, where the worst of the overflows are occurring.” – Eric Lendrum

Absurdity of Reason – “The one thing I know for an absolute fact is that until individuals recognize their power as such, there’s not much chance of survival. What’s left of the American ideal is quickly diminishing. The future is not bright. Gen Z or Y, or wherever that stands now, might as well be called Gen L(ast). There will be no future generations, there won’t be enough children born in a given time frame to comprise of a particular generation per se.This idea of naming generations is corrupt anyway; it’s a means of destroying unity, pitting one against the other; of accusing one or the other of the destruction of the nation; of pointing fingers at anyone but those responsible; the traitors in our own government, our schools, now even our hospitals. The young, virile men and fertile women of the current generation are being killed by the jab at an astonishing rate. Those who aren’t dying are sterile or infertile. Those who were able to conceive have more often than ever, by 1000%, miscarried. The children are being taught in school, in school mind you, to reject their gender and seek acceptance in disfigurement and derangement making them incapable of reproduction.” – T.L. Davis

As a result, he may get a view of the border but not of the crisis, say infuriated border agents who wanted him to see the scale of the chaos last month.” – Rob Crilly  – MAKE IT LOOK GOOD SO HE CAN SAY WHAT A GREAT JOB HE HAS DONE!!!!

Strange how the media didn’t notice a ‘dysfunctional Congress’ until just now – “As speaker, Nancy Pelosi ran the House of Representatives like a fiefdom, and the media cheered. They marveled at her power. They didn’t operate under regular budget rules with individual appropriation bills. Instead, they had omnibus spending bills stuffed with garbage that have contributed to massive deficits and $32 trillion in debt as they pretended new spending was paid for. The bills were prepared outside the view of most members of Congress, and few read the bills before they were voted on. And that is supposedly what the people should want. Threatening to close the government every few months and cramming down multi-thousand-page spending bills is dysfunctional.” – Jack Hellner

The New McCarthyism – “Expect the changes to the people’s business-as-usual to be mostly cosmetic under Kevin McCarthy’s reign as speaker of the House. “My own take is that McCarthy is an unreliable ally for those on the Right. He was only too happy to shovel billions of your and your children’s money to Ukraine while doing little to secure our southern border. McCarthy is from California, so, naturally, he likes to spend money. – Roger Kimball

Jan 6 Sets the Tone for Discussions in the Heartland – “But the GOP’s House speaker election circus was a close second. Another week has come and gone, making Heartlanders, flyover folks, and those of a conservative mind want to recolonize and start this government over in earnest. Between the ridiculous antics of the House speaker debacle, the commemoration of Jan. 6 2021, and an influx of illegal aliens off the Florida coast, either there is a come to Jesus moment on the horizon or an outright rebellion in the works. When the Silent Majority decides to weigh in, they do so with more of a rebel than with quiet, polite prose.” – Sarah Cowgill

Who Needs Shakespeare When You Have C-SPAN? – “This week’s battle against the fatal inexorability of “Speaker McCarthy” seemed a little different from Swamp business as usual. There was, of course, the very public power struggle between Obstacle and Ambition, which went forward in an unscripted and, especially after the last stand of the House Holdouts, dramatic fashion. But such struggles are not unprecedented. I have turned away from the kabuki antics of the fake branches of government; nevertheless, something captured my attention here. I think was the way in which the visceral nature of this power struggle was elevated by rhetoric of Rep. Matt Gaetz, who really did speak truth to the corrupt power structure, which exists because it is supported, enabled, perpetuated by a uniparty of McCarthy Republicans and Social Democrats alike and vice versa.” – Diana West

Racism raises Alzheimer’s risk for non-white Americans, HHS says – ““Entrenched systemic racism” is a significant risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease and dementia in non-white Americans, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) claimed in its 2022 update on how to fight the disease. Black people are twice as likely as white people to develop Alzheimer’s, and Hispanics are about 1.5 times more likely than whites to get it. The group says high blood pressure and diabetes are suspected risk factors and said high blood pressure is “more prevalent in the African American community,” while diabetes is “more prevalent in the Hispanic community.”” – Peter Kasperowicz  – UH, DID THE SO-CALLED HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES EVEN CONSIDER PERHAPS DIETS IN THEIR BLOOD PRESSURE AND DIABETES ANALYSIS WHICH LEAD TO SUPPOSEDLY THE INCREASE IN ALZHEIMERS, NOPE, LET’S JUST BLAME IT ON RACISM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only love can make it rain
The way the beach is kissed by the sea
Only love can make it rain
Like the sweat of lovers laying in the fields

Love reign o’er me
Rain o’er me
Love reign o’er me
Rain o’er me
Rain o’er me

Only love can bring the rain
That makes you yearn to the sky
Only love can bring the rain
That falls like tears from on high

Love reign o’er me
Rain o’er me
Rain o’er me, rain o’er me
Love reign o’er me
Rain o’er me
Rain o’er me, rain o’er me

On the dry and dusty road
The nights we spend apart alone
I need to get back home to cool cool rain
I can’t sleep and I lay and I think
The night is hot and black as ink
Oh God, I need a drink of cool cool rain

Love reign o’er me
Rain over me, over me, over me
Oh, love reign o’er me
O’er me

Love

The Ghost of ‘Covid’ Returns Once Again: Awakening the Dead? – “This must be a here we go again moment, as the resurrection of an already fake ‘virus pandemic’, that was said to be relatively over some time ago, is once again rearing its ugly head. It is being propagandized as yet another ‘variant’ of something that never existed in the first place; something that is now supposedly another even more deadly strain of this imaginary enemy. This is a trick that only a master magician (or psychopath) could accomplish. What is this new and improved, humanity-threatening fantasy, you might ask? It is called, according to the completely controlled fake mainstream media, the more advanced offshoot of one of the claimed ‘variants’ of a non-existent ‘virus’ called ‘covid-19.’ The refreshed version is now named the XBB. 1.5, a supposed sub-variant of the covid-19 omicron variant, attacking mostly the Northeast U.S. Of course it is!” – Gary D.

And how can we expect the generations growing up with computers to understand that there is an ocean not so far away where they did not have to wait for what they needed? If they don’t remember freedom or if they have never had it, how can we expect them to fight for it? Do they even have any freedom left to lose? Is it the idea that freedom means responsibility and they are afraid of that? Afraid of their own shadowed selves? Afraid of what they don’t know?” – Sylvia Shawcross

Desperate Deep State Planning Intense Chaos in 2023 (VIDEO) with Alex Newman – “What they are going to be doing over the coming year is massive numbers of crises and expanding and accelerating existing crises. They will be fomenting new crises such as food crises, immigration crises, border crises, currency crises and terrorism crises. You name it because that is what they do. The U.N. is standing by to provide ‘solutions’ to this. The World Health Organization is working on digital IDs and vaccine passports to deal with the health crises. The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) is working on the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) to deal with the currency crises. The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization, the FAO, is working on solutions to the food crises that they are unleashing on humanity. So, we are going to see a lot more of this, and I forgot the energy crisis.” – Greg Hunter

Everything Except What Should be Featured – “While not certain, it’s highly likely that one or more kill shots caused Buffalo Bills player, Damar Hamlin, to collapse on the field from cardiac arrest and endure a near-death experience. Not according to MSM fake news. In their reports on what happened, the elephant in the room is ignored. Coverup and denial is featured instead.

Thought policing on social media, once a dystopian fantasy, is now taken for granted.

Faith in the tool, not the craftsman. It is like placing trust in the paint brush, not in the artist. Faith in the creative instrument, not in the Creator.” – Dr. Joseph Sansone

Very early this morning, after four days and 15 rounds of voting, McCarthy received the votes needed to hold the coveted gavel. It will be interesting to see how many of these demands made by the Freedom Caucus are actually satisfied. If the demands are not met and the Freedom Caucus stays mum, they too must be held accountable. The electoral victory for McCarthy is merely the beginning. The Freedom Caucus must continue to hold McCarthy accountable and be as verbal as before. Hopefully, McCarthy won’t retaliate against the group for their dissent.

5 Ways the “Inflation Reduction Act” Is Stealing Your Money – “Much like the Patriot Act had little to do with making life safer in the U.S., the Biden administration’s “Inflation Reduction Act” has very little to do with reducing inflation. Thanks to this “Inflation Reduction Act,” our lives are about to get even more expensive for just about everyone. If you’re saving money for retirement, heating your home or driving a car, well, get ready to start paying higher prices. That’s because of several new taxes that were tucked away in the 274 pages of the Inflation Reduction Act. Those new taxes have become law as of January 1st, 2023.” – Peter Reagan

Repentance – “The doctors of this country — of all Western Civ, really — owe their citizens an apology and an explanation, and even then, they might not be able to save modern medicine. The doctors have dishonored and disgraced their profession. They promulgated a Covid- 19 vaccination that is now clearly killing a lot of people early in life and unnaturally. To this day, no established professional group of doctors, or formal association, or major journal, has called for an end to the vaxx program. The signal has been clear for the better part of a year. The mRNA products made by Pfizer and Moderna did not stop transmission of Covid-19 and were causing widespread harm. I’ll tell you what will happen: medicine as we’ve known it is going to collapse, along with most other activities in our society. Apart from ethical offenses against the public in the single instance of the Covid-19 emergency, doctors and their administrative cohorts have stealthily surrendered to a racketeering business model that had already badly damaged the practice of medicine before Covid-19 came on the scene.” – James Howard Kunstler

That happened a little more than 20 years ago. They were told to freeze in place – some may remember this – and they did. And so it came naturally when they were told to stand six feet apart. They just did it. They were told to spread their legs. Having done that, putting on a “mask” came naturally enough, when they were told to do that, too. They were told the “threat” was “elevated.” The cases! The cases! Panic became the new American drug. Obedience, its hangover.” – Eric Peters

Republican opponents said the measure is too broad, and bans many firearms commonly used for hunting and sport shooting, and it even takes away the ability of people to protect themselves. “You are turning legal gun owners with this bill into felons,” said State Rep.

Championing the Republican holdouts – “Bad enough the GOPe campaigned against good candidates, bad enough they pulled funding from others, bad enough they have allowed the political imprisonment of J6 protestors to go unchallenged, bad enough they continued to capitulate to the Democrats — but when they allowed the passage of the omnibus bill, tying the hands of the 2023 House of Representatives — they went too far.

With this in mind, the question therefore becomes why Kiev didn’t decide to take this mutually beneficial opportunity.” – Andrew Korybko

Indeed, if one reads the corporate war propaganda media, he or she may believe Ukraine is on the verge of a triumphant victory. However, this is nothing more than a cruel joke, a macabre fantasy for Ukrainian soldiers dying in their hundreds in and around Kharkov, Donetsk, Poltava, Dnepropetrovsk, Nikolaev, Kyiv, and Kherson.

Rather, it piles up from one year to the next like rotting refuse at a municipal landfill. How will the central planners manipulate your livelihood in 2023? How will Federal Reserve monetary policy influence your job, investments, and discretionary income? Ultra-mega money printing in 2020-21 to counter the effects of government ordered lockdowns resulted in a supply of dollars that was far too great for the economy to absorb.
