THE BIG PICTURE

Destroying the Luciferian Illuminati Masonic Freaks – “You have no idea of the power you hold. It is everything. How long are we going to endure these disgusting monsters running everything? The evidence that has emerged over the past five years is incontrovertible. There are ten thousand witness testimonies, thousands of reports, and a thousand books and more – ranging from crude to deeply sophisticated – outlining their Satanic activities which are all, all, designed to ruin our lives, harvest our energy and have us, essentially, for lunch.” – Elizabeth Nickson

Technocracy and the Internet of Bodies (VIDEO)- “The software of life, Peter Teal’s Palunteer technology is currently being used to slaughter women and children and we are told that he is one of the good guys. Elon Musk wants to put brain ships in people so that we can merge with AI which he says will control every aspect of our lives and we are told that he is one of the good guys. These are the frontmen of the technocracy which is being created with the help of the Trump administration” – Greg Reese – ANOTHER GOOD ONE FROM GREG

Trump Taps Palantir to Create Master Database on Every American – “Trump’s dystopian plan is already underway.” – Hafiz Rashid

The Club Of Rome wants to tell us how to live? – “What is it with unelected entities telling the rest of us, including President Trump, how we have to live, think, and behave!” – Eric Utter

Bobby is Lying – “And other tangential observations… I would like to begin with some thoughts about how the “alternative crowd” has been manipulated during the “covid era”. And I want to be clear that I am including myself when I make statements like this. It brings me no joy to notice the ways in which my opinion was so easily guided as I really felt like I was departing from the mainstream pack. Ain’t hindsight a bitch… Particularly over the last five years we have been primed to dislike and distrust the CDC. Disappointment and disgust in the CDC “covid” response and recommendations and regular celebrity CDC talking heads botching shit has prepared the “dissident” public to welcome an overhaul at this agency. It’s easy to couple the CDC to your “covid” anger. ” – Conspiracy Sarah

The real lessons find a way – “Why the kids are going to be alright. Obviously, the effects of woke and DEI upon schools have been legion. It’s as hideous as it is unreflective. Racism and discrimination has always, to greater or lesser extent, been with us but was clearly and obviously on the wane until 2008-12 when it issued forth as center stage sentiment whipped into some sort of sudden global consciousness by media and institution alike. DEI does not oppose racism, it incubates it. I defy anyone to, with straight face, claim America is less racist today than it was in 2004.” – El Gato Malo

Everything is a LIE. Shawn Ryan and Tucker Carlson short TikTok (VIDEO) – robk547

NEW CDC Guidance for COVID-19 Shots Goes Against RFK Jr.’s Announcement – “The new CDC guidance for the COVID-19 shots looks like a nightmare and feels a lot like a MAHA betrayal.” – Karen Kingston – YA THINK. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ROSES!!!

Let’s Talk About Tetanus – “Do you need a booster? There is no such thing as a “tetanus shot” anymore. The manufacturers stopped making the single tetanus shot in 2012. Since that time, getting a “tetanus shot” means getting either a DTaP or Tdap, depending on the person’s age, with DTaP being the option for infants and children up to age 7 years. Tdap is the version that is given to adults and children aged 7 and up. Tdap is also the one given to pregnant women. Because we cannot talk about the “tetanus shot” without discussing DTaP and Tdap, this article presents information about the childhood and adult vaccines, focusing more on the Tdap, particularly with regard to “tetanus boosters” and Tdap given to pregnant women.”- Marcella Piper-Terry – LONG BUT VERY GOOD ARTICLE!!!!!!!!!

NEWS

The Liberal Heart that Hates First – “Iknow I’m on the right side of the side of the fence with most of this crap we are experiencing is because every time I drop a verifiable, ironclad fact that punctures one of the “other side’s” sacred lies, I get a verbal Molotov cocktail lobbed at me. Not a reasoned debate, not a “let’s check the data,” but a personal attack—as if I’ve just spat on their dead cat’s grave. This isn’t about opinions; it’s about truths so solid you could build a house on them. When liberals respond with venom instead of logic, it’s proof their thinking’s lost in the weeds, while mine’s on the straight and narrow.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

Analysis: Biden Unaware of Executive Orders ‘Signed’ by Autopen – “President Joe Biden issued 162 executive orders over the course of his Oval Office tenure, but according to a new report, most of them were signed by “autopen,” giving rise to concerns that unelected White House staffers may have had more say in shaping policy than the president. The report is furthering those concerns and suggesting that Biden may not have even been aware of the existence of the orders being signed in his name.” – S.A. McCarthy

Trump’s Tariffs Might Be the Green Policy Nobody Saw Coming – “For all the buzz about “going green,” much of the technology touted by the Green Left to move our nation to “Net Zero” — specifically solar panels and EV batteries — comes from places where the sky is choked with smog and rivers run with industrial waste. And while these same critics often dismiss Donald Trump’s tariffs as economic saber-rattling, in reality, the President’s policies carry significant and underappreciated environmental benefits. By imposing tariffs on imports from countries with looser environmental regulations, Trump’s trade policy incentivizes companies to manufacture domestically, where environmental protections are stronger and enforcement is more robust. Critics call it economic nationalism, but the reality is more nuanced: the policy functions as an ecological safeguard, reducing reliance on countries like China, which is ranked as the 13th most polluted nation in the world.” – Melanie Collette

What is Trump’s game in Syria? – “Why has the US president decided to lift all sanctions on Damascus, and how will it shape the future of the region?” – Murad Sadygzade

Evolving U.S.-Canada Relations Spark Shift in Strategy – “Recent shifts in US policy have caused Canada to reevaluate its long-standing relationship with its southern neighbor, leading to a focus on economic independence and trade diversification. Canadian federal politics have responded to US actions through tariffs and election results, reflecting a national desire for greater autonomy and a need to address regional economic concerns.” – Rystad Energy

Guns and the Gospel? – “Concealed carry in church must never be controversial… Last year, (2024) armed intruders opened fire inside several houses of worship in America, including the Houston, Texas megachurch of Joel Osteen. Studies show the number of shootings in houses of worship has more than doubled over the last few years. Threats against both Jewish and Muslim worshipers have also spiked since the current Israel-Hamas war began. But it does not have to be that way…” – Jim McCraigh

Wolves Wreak Havoc on Cattle Herds in California – “Ranchers say their hands are tied as reintroduced wolves—listed as endangered—are feasting on cattle instead of hunting elk and deer.” – Brad Jones

So What Happens Next? Iran And Russia Are Being Pressured To Take The Deals That Are On The Table, But They Won’t – Michael Snyder

The Taliban Is Back In The International Spotlight – “Given the renewed interest that major stakeholders – India, Pakistan, Iran, Russia, China, and the US – have in Afghanistan, the Taliban’s return to the international spotlight might portend a new era of cooperation and competition between them.” – Andrew Korybko

ECONOMIC NEWS

Bloomington Illinois Is Ranked the Biggest Economic Disaster in the Nation – “Rockford, Danville, and Peoria are also in the bottom 25 percent. Congratulations (of sorts) to Illinois for Bloomington’s 100% bottom ranking. No other metro area in the nation is worse. Rockford is also notable for negative GDP since 2019. Only 4.4 percent of the nation’s metro areas were worse. Danville, my home town, is in the bottom quartile along with Peoria, and Carbondale. Pathetic yes. Shocking no. Illinois is the most corrupt state in the nation. It’s under total control of the public unions, especially the Chicago Teachers’ Union.

THE BIG PICTURE

Pet Vaccinations – “What follows hasn’t got anything to do with cars except in principle. That principle being the diminishing freedom we’re allowed to exercise when it comes to choosing what we consider to be right for us – as well as our pets. It used to be the case that you just had them, if you wanted to. Now – in many areas – you are required to register them, just as you are required to do when you get a vehicle. Both require tags – issued by the government – denoting who is the real owner of them. Just the same as cows are “registered” by the ear tags they display. Naturally, the tags are not free – because neither are you. Or what really aren’t your pets, either. This brings up the matter of drug pushing. It is not called that, of course.” – Eric Peters

Minion Meryl and Her WHO Treaty Disinformation Assignment – “No New WHO Treaty is Necessary; The WHO’s IHR Agreement is Already in Place. If you haven’t ever been fooled by the ocean of propaganda psyoppery being put out by Cult of Saturn media minions, like Meryl Nass, then you are in the minority. There is far, far more Cult propaganda than there is true journalism. Was the WHO Treaty active in 2020, Meryl? Nope! Yet, almost every government followed the WHO’s “guidance” (headed by a corrupt, genocidal Ethiopian thug), in lockstep as had been planned since the Rockefeller Foundation published their 2010 Operation Lockstep Future Scenario blueprint. In short, the Rockefellers were behind the creation of The United Nations and The World Health Organization on behalf of the Rothschild banking dynasty, who also are known as the Khazarian Mafia (KM). The KM represents the 13 Cult of Saturn bloodlines who believe themselves to be the remnant of Atlantis’ Aryan race, and claim to be the 12 Tribes of Israel. The Rothschilds are not the tip of the spear, but they are the closest to the top leadership that the public is allowed to see. The UN is the evolved version of the earlier League of Nations, which was also created and funded by the Rothschilds via his Rockefeller proxy. So, the UN and WHO are Rockefeller/Rothschild creations and the Lockstep Plan was written by the Rockefeller Foundation. Operation Lockstep is still in place, as is the WHO International Health Regulations agreement, or IHR.” – Sarah E. Lawton – INTERESTING READ FROM SARAH!!!

This isn’t compassion. This is abandonment, institutionalized. We’ve obtained internal documents from Health Canada that expose the quiet but deeply disturbing conversations happening behind closed doors—” – Sheila Gunn Reid

CDC issued the anticipated update to the children’s schedule for covid shots – “CDC deprives parents of decision-making authority for “routine” shots, and only allows “shared” decision-making if you can prove the child is not “immunocompromised”” – Sasha Latypova

Useless Covid data analysis riddled with basic flaws – “If the vaccines were so effective, why do governments have so much difficulty producing the evidence?” – Rebekah Barnett

Trump’s Parlous Gambit – “One reality we struggle with is the doleful fact that there is no work-around for the nation’s monumental debt. Since it can’t possibly be paid off, there are two stark paths for it: default and ruinous deflation (that is, money vanishes and the nation goes broke); or a futile attempt to inflate it away with more fake money creation (you’ll have money, but it’s increasingly worthless, so you’re effectively broke). Either way, you’re broke. In the meantime, the remorseless interest that has to be paid on $36.2-trillion squeezes out everything else we’re supposed to care for as relates to the common good. Every broke-ass family or individual person knows how debilitating money-worries can be. And since unpayable debt is the common denominator across all of Western Civ, this perhaps explains the gross, suicidal mental disorder displayed lately by leadership all across Europe, North America and Anglo-Oceania. Europe, especially, exhibits behavior that is completely cuckoo — inciting war with Russia, The exception is Mr. Trump, a businessman-outsider to government trying to pull off an escape from the deadly debt quandary. It’s probably impossible, but he is trying nonetheless.” – James Howard Kunstler

This is basically an all-in bet AGAINST the U.S. Dollar in favor of replacing it with Cryptocurrencies, which Trump and his family want to have total control over. Watch the video I posted” – Brian Shilhavy

Bongino Claims New Video Evidence Will Prove Epstein Suicide, And ‘Bags’ Of Improperly Stored Comey-Era Evidence Found – “For starters, Epstein’s cellmate was moved out the day before he ‘decided to hang himself’ on August 10, 2019 – crushing bones in his neck which can fracture during hangings, but are typically broken during homicide by strangulation. What’s more, at least one of the cameras in the hallway outside Epstein’s cell had footage that is “unusable,” despite “other, clearer footage” which was captured in the area, the Washington Post reported at the time. Nevermind the ‘shouting and shrieking’ heard from Epstein’s cell the morning he died. Now (that AI is hyper-realistic?), Bongino says there’s footage that will prove Epstein did kill himself. ” – Tyler Durden

When Jeb and Hillary Saved the Republic – “During an appearance on Fox News, Charles Krauthammer was asked to predict the Republican and Democrat nominees for the 2016 election. He said rather confidently that the nominees would be “Jeb” Bush and Hillary Clinton. When asked to explain his reasoning, Dr. Krauthammer pointed out that Bush and Clinton had the money, the political infrastructure, and the backing of their respective party elites. It’s worth remembering that Establishment Democrats cleared the primary field for Hillary. Communist Bernie Sanders was never supposed to be serious competition for Hillary Clinton in 2016. It’s also worth remembering that Hillary’s campaign was not so quietly pushing for the candidacy of Donald Trump. They couldn’t imagine an easier path to the White House for Hillary Clinton than a scenario in which she had only to beat Vermont communist Bernie Sanders and New York “reality show tycoon” Donald Trump.” – J.B.

THE BIG PICTURE

The Algocracy Agenda: How AI and the Deep State Are Digitizing Tyranny – “The Deep State is not going away. It’s just being replaced. Replaced not by a charismatic autocrat or even a shadowy bureaucracy, but by artificial intelligence (AI)—unfeeling, unaccountable, and immortal. As we stand on the brink of a new technological order, the machinery of power is quietly shifting into the hands of algorithms. Under Donald Trump’s watch, that shift is being locked in for at least a generation.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

CDC New COVID Recommendations, a Limited Hangout? – “Many where cheering when HHS Secretary Rober Kennedy Jr., NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya, and FDA Director Marty Makary, provided a brief video statement announcing that the CDC will no longer be recommending COVID shots for healthy children and healthy pregnant women. Hmmm….so this means that they are still recommending mRNA bioweapon injections to everybody 18 and older and to sick people of all ages. This action was about as minimal as could possibly be done. It was an embarrassment. It was a disgrace. It was unacceptable. This is not 2021. This is 2025.” – Dr. Joseph Sansone

Who’s Calling the Shots at HHS? – “Both MAHA and the BioPharma industry were confused by RFK Jr.’s announcement that the CDC has stopped recommending the COVID shots for ‘healthy adults and children,’ here’s why. Why the Confusion Around Secretary Kennedy’s X Video? Because the CDC website is literally still recommending the COVID shots for everyone, including babies, children, adults and pregnant women, ‘healthy’ or otherwise. Not only, was no one from the CDC’s leadership in the press video on the alleged changes to the CDC recommendations for the COVID-19 injections, but neither HHS, nor the FDA nor the CDC issued an official press statement.” – Karen Kingston

Conspiracies of Silence and Blackmail – “The DOJ’s investigations on the Epstein Files and Trump’s shooting are a bad joke. After Trump was re-elected, he promised to release the Epstein Files. They have been reviewed by his pretty blond Attorney General, his crazy-eyed FBI Director, and his podcaster cum Deputy FBI Director, and they all assure us they have read every line of the official reports and the only possible conclusion is that Epstein committed suicide. It must be true. How can you not believe anyone with eyes like this? Nope, nothing to see here. Move along. The problem is that not a single Trump-supporting podcaster or influencer who is not now on the Federal payroll believes it. Not Tucker Carlson, not Alex Jones, not anyone with an even partially functioning brain.” – Ohio Barbarian

Patel and MAGA Agents Join the Club (VIDEO) – “FBI top men Kash Patel & Dan Bongino just lied about Epstein. Other flip-flopping MAGA agents join the club. Power is seductive.” – Makia Freeman – GOOD ONE FROM MAKIA!!!

Epstein Didn’t Hang Himself and I Can Prove It – “It simply is not possible to create the conditions inside a Special Housing Unit (SHU) cell that would make hanging possible. In the early 1980s I helped develop a modular prison construction product that cut construction time in half. The sole difference between a SHU cell and a general population cell was that the SHU cell was specifically designed to prevent hanging.” – C C Rider

Epitaph for Trump II, Part III Donald Trump seemed unaware of it, but he had only a few days to accomplish something too. And he faced one critical objective: to stop the federal government’s perennial deficits. The budget is still running two trillion dollars in the hole each year. The debt is still scheduled to grow to $60 trillion… maybe $70 trillion…over the next ten years. Interest payments are headed to $1,500 per citizen per year. And interest rates are going up. Trump II has shot its wad. We will leave it to future historians to fill in the details.” – Bill Bonner

The Odd Squad – “The general assessment of Trump 2.0 so far, by those inclined to support him, is that his domestic operation is doing great, but his foreign policy operations is a work in progress, to be generous. The reason the Trump foreign policy operation is struggling can be understood by looking at the team assigned to implement his policy. The top foreign policy job was given to Marco Rubio, Rubio seems to have had some sort of epiphany when it comes to politics that went unnoticed as he no longer sounds like a neocon. In fact, he sounds like a critic who has been reading dissident websites. Then you have Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence and Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense, two people with no experience in their areas of responsibility and zero experience running big, complicated organizations.” – The Z Man

The Feminization of Victimhood – “The rules of virtue signaling. Recently, I watched a documentary on Larry Nassar. He was the team doctor for the U.S. Women’s national gymnastics team from 1996-2014. In January, 2018, Nassar was convicted of possessing child pornography and ten counts of sexual assault. He was sentenced to an astounding 100-235 years in prison. Nassar had been accused of sexually assaulting at least 265 young girls. This was a real case of #MeToo Syndrome, as seemingly every girl he had coached eventually joined in, telling their own stories, which as far as I can tell were extremely scant on details. Color me skeptical, as usual. If Nassar is the monster he’s being portrayed as, then I’m guilty of asking pointless questions. But I can’t help but be skeptical about these kinds of collective tales of victimhood.” – Donald Jeffries

Democrats and Their DEI Albatrosses – “Democrats are trapped by the toxic DEI ideology they created—too afraid to reform, too broken to survive without it.” – Victor Davis Hanson

Why Merz’ comments show he is two steps down the escalation ladder from Putin – “Perhaps Merz might consider a negotiated end to the conflict, rather than more empty sabre-rattling that he cannot deliver upon.” – Ian Proud

Putin Seeks Broad Security Agreement, + Oreshnik to Berlin? – “Reuters ‘sources’ claim they have the scoop on the much-anticipated Russian “memorandum” for peace in Ukraine, which Russian officials have announced they were in the process of writing and presenting to the West. If there’s any truth to the ‘scoop’, what’s interesting about the contents is that it does appear to outline a broader security architecture on the macro scale, rather than merely hairsplitting over the ‘micro’-level details of post-war troop compositions and such. The ‘three Russian sources’ with an alleged ear in the Kremlin told Reuters that Putin’s plan includes the demand for Western powers to pledge not only that Ukraine will not join NATO, but that NATO will not expand any further eastward, which primarily only affects Georgia and Moldova at this point, since nearly everyone else has already joined:” – Simplicius

What’s The Likelihood That Russia Soon Drops More Oreshniks On Ukraine? – “Step by step, Trump is turning “Sleepy Joe Biden’s War” into his own, exactly as Steve Bannon warned him not to do.” – Andrew Korybko

The West’s New Genocide – “Of course, Netanyahu blames the slaughter in Gaza on “Hamas” though the reason he gives for exterminating 2.2 million Gazans is that he wants to kill all members of Hamas, which had fewer than 20,000 members, which is less than one-thousandth of the Gazan population of 2.2 million.” – Eric Zuesse

THE BIG PICTURE

A scary new “Covid” variant? What year is this? – “There’s a new Covid variant “surging through” Asia, according to this headline. It has already spread to the US and Europe as well, according to this article. I’m guessing the word “surging” was in the circulated memo, because it appears in almost every article about this. All of which makes me ask…What year is this? ” – Kit Knightly

Food Crisis—The Greatest Threat to Social Stability – Jeff Thomas

The Big Mistake They Made – “CARB is a state-level bureaucracy that operates effectively as a national one by emitting regulations for California that are followed by the vehicle manufacturers because so many other states have aped CARB’s regulatory emissions that they are effectively obliged to manufacture only “California compliant” vehicles. CARB began emitting regulations back in the ’70s. The regs required additional hardware be added to new vehicles in order for them to be legal to sell in the state. GM’s mistake – the industry’s mistake – was to play along to begin with. That never works out – except to the benefit of your enemy. Arguably, what the vehicle manufacturers ought to have done – back in the ’70s – was to tell California its additionally onerous emissions regulations – which exceeded the federal EPA’s requirements – rendered it unfeasible for them to sell new vehicles in the state of California. This would very quickly have imparted pressure on California’s politicians to yank CARB’s chain because millions of Californians wanting to be able to buy a new car would have demanded it.” – Eric Peters – THESE “BS” REGULATIONS, MADE VEHICLES MORE EXPENSIVE FOR EVERYONE, NO MATTER WHAT STATE!!!

This Is What Happens When You Stop Taking Ozempic- ” Ozempic works… until it doesn’t. Then your real problems begin. Ozempic doesn’t cure obesity—it creates lifelong customers. The weight comes right back when you stop taking it. Why? Because it doesn’t fix anything. It just shuts off your hunger. And the side effects are far worse than they’re telling you.” – The Vigilant Fox – THIS ARTICLE IS BASED ON AN ARTICLE BY A MIDWESTERN DOCTOR THAT WAS LINKED ON 08/26/24!!!

Cancer & Infertility Causing Cattle Feed Drug ‘Bovaer’ Found in Milk Gets Global Production Boost – “First large-scale production plant to “accelerate the expansion and adoption of Bovaer” in order to “combat climate change” will be fully operational by November. To curb cow flatulence in the name of so-called climate change, a carcinogenic cattle feed drug called ‘Bovaer’—which ends up in the milk humans consume—is now heading into global mass production.” – Jon Fleetwood

Crypto-Fascism, Inc. – “I miss the old-school neo-Nazis. You know, the skinheads with the swastika tattoos and the big Nazi flags on the walls of their living rooms. The Aryan Brotherhood-type neo-Nazis. You don’t get neo-Nazis like that anymore. These days, it’s all about the crypto-fascism. Are you not familiar with crypto-fascism? All right, let me bring you up to speed. Crypto-fascists are a particularly pernicious and pussified species of neo-Nazi. Unlike the old-school neo-Nazis, who at least had the courtesy to go around hollering Nazi slogans and heiling Hitler in public so that everyone knew that they were neo-Nazis, crypto-fascists are sneaky little cowards who pretend they aren’t neo-Nazis and hide behind pseudonyms and coded rhetoric. Their natural habitat is the Internet, but they can adapt to almost any environment, creepy little chameleon-like cravens that they are.” – CJ Hopkins

The Third World Is Forever Chasing The White Man – “When white people in Africa relocate to Australia, or Canada, or the US or Europe, the Africans try to follow. Instead of building up their own communities and nations they use and then eventually tear down the infrastructure that whites already built. They never replace it with anything else. Then they immigrate overseas to where the white people are because their own nations are in disarray. Eventually, they start tearing down those countries. Leftists will call this a “racist” argument rooted in “white supremacy”, but this is a black South African making the point. It’s not racist, it’s just an observation of concrete fact.” – Brandon Smith

Keepin’ It Real – “The first four months of the Trump restoration have exceeded everyone’s expectations for no other reason than it has shifted the conversation. The bad guys are still battling everything in the courts and Congress, but unlike the first time, Trump seems to have a plan, and he has been aggressive in executing it. As a result, he has been setting the agenda rather than the bad guys. The one place where he is failing is with Ukraine, where it looks like he has painted himself into a corner. The problem is that the facts on the ground have not changed, so there is no deal Trump can make with the Russians to end the war. Zelensky will never do any peace deal as that means the end of him. The nationalists in Ukraine will never accept a deal, which is why Zelensky cannot do a deal. The Europeans seem convinced that peace in Ukraine means the withdraw of America from Europe, so they are fighting like hell to keep the war going, even as it harms their positions. Now it seems clear that the Russians have understood from the start that Trump was never willing to break with the Europeans or take on the crazies in Washington who created the Ukraine mess.” – The Z Man – ENDING THE WAR IN UKRAINE ON DAY ONE KIND OF WENT OUT THE WINDOW!!!

Is Putin Smart or Just Fooling Himself? – “Putin Should Think Twice About Peace. Is Vladimir Putin crazy like a fox, or merely crazy?” – Peter Nayland Kust

Maga and Mega Turns Mugger – Following Drone Attack on Putin on May 20, Putin Hit Back at Kiev, and Trump Declared “I Don’t Like It at All” – “Either President Donald Trump cannot comprehend the sequence of cause and effect. Or he cannot control his own military and intelligence operations in the war against Russia. Or Trump thinks he can deceive President Vladimir Putin, authorize an attack on him personally, and later, when the attack failed, and Putin retaliated with a counter-attack on Kiev, Trump is pretending “I don’t know what the hell happened to Putin…he’s sending rockets into Kiev and other cities and killing people, and I don’t like it at all.” Trump then threatened Putin directly. “We’ll see what we’re going to do.” Follow the sequence and decide what’s cause, what’s effect.” – John Helmer

When They Say “Peace And Safety”… – “A few hours ago, President Trump posted a very alarming message about Russian President Vladimir Putin on his Truth Social account…What Vladimir Putin doesn’t realize is that if it weren’t for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia, and I mean REALLY BAD. He’s playing with fire! What “REALLY BAD” things is Trump talking about? I really hope that he will clarify what he meant by that. ” – Michael Snyder

Peace Through Strength: Trump’s Missile Shield Will Stop War Before It Starts – “President Donald J. Trump has officially announced plans to build a next-generation missile defense system. He’s calling it the “Golden Dome,” and I, for one, could not be more thrilled to see American tax dollars going toward defending America for a change.” – Corinne Clark Barron – YEP WAR IS GOING TO STOP, JUST LIKE IT HAS FOR THE PAST THOUSAND YEARS AND MORE. SHE’S THRILLED. JUST, THINK HOW THRILLED THE DEFENSE CONTRACTORS ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trump’s Military Parade – “When I think of celebratory military parades with lots of heavy weaponry and the like, images of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union come to mind. Authoritarian regimes, strongly militaristic, led by dictators. The naked celebration of military strength in Trump’s proposed parade is yet another example of American militarism on steroids. It marks the further erosion of democracy in America and a coarsening of the human spirit in America.” – Bill Astore

ECONOMIC NEWS

Governments in Bondage – “Bond vigilantes have more power than presidents and other central planners, and they are no longer shy about using it to restrain governments.” – David Haggith

U.S. Battery Production Set To Decline 75% Under Trump’s ‘Big Bill’ – “Trump’s big beautiful bill could slash U.S. battery production by ~75% by 2030 to 250 GWh from the previously projected 1,050 gigawatt-hours, and EV sales by 40%. The bill would eliminate 130,000 potential jobs in the EV sector by 2030. Red and purple states including Texas, Michigan, Nevada, Tennessee, Kentucky and Georgia, would be the most adversely impacted if the bill were to become law.” – Alex Kiman

What Is the Rationale Behind Current US Tariff Policy? – “It seems that, for President Donald Trump, the key for economic growth is demand for goods and services. According to this view, an increase in exports and a reduction in imports (i.e., the improvement in the trade balance) strengthens overall demand for domestically-produced goods and services. As a result, this strengthens economic growth in terms of the gross domestic product (GDP). Therefore, the rationale follows that the imposition of tariffs that curtails imports will greatly benefit the US economy. We must also remember that it is not the “US” that imports and/or exports goods and services, but individuals who live in the US. For example, it is not the “US” that exports wheat, but a particular farmer or a group of farmers who want to sell at agreed-upon prices to willing buyers in another country. They are engaged in the exports of wheat because they expect to profit. Likewise, it is not the “US” that imports Chinese electrical appliances, but individuals from the US. They import these appliances because they want them. ” – Frank Shostak

Record Foreign Demand For Blowout 5Y Treasury Auction – “What a difference a month makes. A little over thirty days after one ugly coupon auction after another, when the market was panicking that the US had “lost its reserve status” and any Treasury auction could well be the last (it turns out that “privilege” belonged to Japan, where last week we almost saw the last ever 20Y auction), demand for US paper is once again off the charts… and we aren’t even talking about yesterday’s stellar 2Y auction. Moments ago Bessent’s Treasury sold $70BN in 5 Year paper which saw the highest foreign demand in history!” – Tyler Durden

The Multi-Trillion Dollar Question Investors Need to Answer – “Enjoy the rally and blow off top in stocks, because as we keep warning, the Everything Bubble could very well blow up sometime in 2026.” – Graham Summers, MBA

Warren Buffett’s Gold Blind Spot – “The Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffett, recently announced he will be stepping down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway. He built a reputation as one of the sharpest minds in investing. Buffett’s folksy wisdom and knack for picking winners made him a household name. But when it comes to gold, Buffett maintains a stubborn bias against investing and has missed an absolutely huge move over the past 25 years.” – Clint Siegner

In an unpredictable world with infrastructure failures and accidents, these gases pose a silent and potentially lethal threat that every prepper needs to understand and prepare for.” – J.G.

U.S. Genocidal Madness Has Never Ended! – “Those of us who write about the heinous Israeli genocidal slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza, although we are most often met with blind indifference by the bulk of society, continue to expose this evil in the midst of this torturous death of innocents. The inability to convince the ruled masses that they should stand up and stop this unholy carnage, by continually reporting the atrocities being perpetrated, tends to leave the messengers helpless. But in reality, genocidal madness and mass murder have been a part of this country called the ‘united’ states, since the very beginning. ” – Gary D. Barnett

JB Pritzker is acting presidential — too bad his state is in such shambles – “JB Pritzker made headlines when he called for “mass protests” against the Trump administration. There’s no question, the second-term governor of Illinois is positioning himself for a presidential run, as he crisscrosses the country lauding his time serving the citizens of the Prairie State. But what he’s not telling the crowd about Illinois is precisely what Americans need to know most. A federal government run like the state of Illinois would do little to quell their fears. Today, Illinois has more than $200 billion in unfunded pension liabilities, with the state’s government pension systems hovering around 50% funded. It’s bad news for pensioners, who live with the uncertainty of not knowing if a retirement check from the state could bounce. It’s perhaps even worse news for Illinois taxpayers, who are on the hook for such enormous liabilities. Already, Illinoisans are taxed to the hilt. WalletHub recently named Illinois the state with the single highest state and local tax bill in the nation. The median Illinois household pays $13,099 each year to a complicated web of government entities. I personally pay taxes to 17 different levels of government, That’s in addition to sales taxes, gas taxes, grocery taxes and other nickel-and-dime taxes I pay.” – Diana Sroka Rickert

The CIA Is Still Giving Logistics In Kyiv…at Weapons Depot – “WHY is President Trump calling out Putin on international news? WHY is he criticizing Putin while continuing to bomb Yemen? What just shifted? Was it all a distraction? In collusion with Germany, UK, and France, the US has suddenly lifted the restriction of Zelenskky employing long range weapons inside Russia. Russia has been bombarded with Ukraine drones hitting civilian locations. Ukraine has now become the largest manufacturer of military drones. Those weapon depots inside Ukraine were the target of the last strikes from Russian into Kyiv. And Trump is either a double agent, or very ill-informed internally.” – Helena Glass

Trump’s Latest Angry Post About Putin Is His Most Significant One Yet – “Trump is either being maliciously misinformed about the conflict from his trusted advisors (not counting Witkoff of course) or that he’s manipulatively creating the pretext for US escalation. Trump’s latest angry post about Putin revealed a lot about how he perceives the Ukrainian Conflict. According to Trump, “[Putin] has gone absolutely CRAZY! What’s really happening is that Russia ramped up its bombing campaign against Ukraine in response to Ukraine ramping up its drone one first, during which time Putin’s helicopter was almost downed after it was caught in a drone swarm while he was visiting Kursk last week.” – Andrew Korybko

With its family-friendly bulk packages, high-quality Kirkland store brand, and, more recently, competitively priced gold and silver bars, Costco has always taken care of its customers. So its introduction of yet another way to accumulate ruinous debt feels like a betrayal: Let’s get this straight: Costco’s buy now, pay later plan charges up to 36% interest for up to 36 months.

THE BIG PICTURE

Memorial Day: It’s Not About the Dead Soldiers but About Glorifying War – “Although Memorial Day in the United Sates is ostensibly a day for honoring soldiers killed in wars, it is, rather, a day for promoting war. If it were to honor the dead, all its pageantry would be in opposition to war. Rather than being haunted by the ghosts of war, many Americans are very proud of all its soldiers killed while killing foreigners for the military industrial complex and the super-rich who own the country. For the U.S.A. is a warfare state; it has been waging imperialistic overseas wars for a long, long time, and using its soldiers as cannon fodder.” – Edward Curtin – WELL SAID!!!!!!!!

This Memorial Day, Let Us Remember – “There is a huge difference between “playing soldier” and being one. There is a huge difference between those who see war as a “game” and those who know war means death. These memories always jangle around in my head near Memorial Day. Why? Because those who died while serving in the Armed Forces are never around to debate the next war, while those who merely “studied war” tend to become only more opinionated with time. There’s an undeniable unfairness about that. Those who know most about the cost of war are forever silenced from teaching the next generation.” – J.B. Shurk

Banksters Want Us Lined-Up For The Next Available Teller – “Human history, at least for the last few thousand years, tells the same story. The people of a nation, at great cost of blood, find some freedom, as did the United States. But, lurking in the background are the banksters, knowing, that in the end—they will prevail. Trump, an instinctual but not a learned man, understands this. He might even understand that Putin/Xi have taken steps to assured that monied interests (oligarchs), do not return to power. It’s easier for them. They warn oligarchs of the limitations—or else. Trump’s unenviable position requires he distance himself from oligarchs, while he identifies with oligarchs. Were he to opt for Americans over oligarchs, his own advisors, Congress, and oligarchs would seek his demise. Cross-purpose is the order of the day.” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

The War on Us – “It’s pretty universally acknowledged that America’s recent wars — say, starting with Vietnam — have been stupid, pointless, and fake in instigation. And yet the soldiers we sent into these fiascos acted bravely and honorably for the most part. So, it has felt a little weird to celebrate their sacrifices minus any sense of political justice, victory, or meaning in the endeavors they sacrificed for. Ergo, the holiday is lately reduced to a celebration of grilled meat. This Memorial Day, for a change, the USA is not actively at war in some distant land, only against ourselves. One faction in this as yet cold civil war seeks to Make America Great Again (MAGA), and the other side seeks what. . . ? To do the opposite of that? Make America Disintegrate (MAD). It’s hard to come to another conclusion.” – James Howard Kunstler

More Trumpian Tariff Hallucinosis – “Well, we don’t know how else to explain the Donald’s early Friday AM eruption on social media. He was apparently pissed off because his “art of the deal” posturing on trade has not produced the results he was delusionally expecting. In response to the huge China tariffs, Apple has been frantically moving its production not back to the US of A as Trump has promised, but to India and Vietnam. So he took Tim Cook, Apple Inc’s CEO, to the woodshed, threatening a 25% tariff on Apple products brought into the US:Likewise, the potential massive “reciprocal tariff” on the EU-27 has not brought EU officialdom crawling to Washington on their collective bellies, chanting “Sir, how can we throw our powerful trade associations and unions under the bus to avoid your tariff wrath?” In fact, recent press reports from a wide range of sources indicate the the talks with Europe have produced virtually no progress. So the Donald let loose on Truth Social: ” – David Stockman

Jeffrey Epstein Exploited the U.S. Virgin Islands for a Reason – “I had to pay a student to go island hopping to find basic records in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The territory’s opaque laws and corruption makes it a haven for misdeeds.” – Lee Fang

U.S. funding persecution of Orthodox Christians by Zelensky regime – “The dirty little secret of the U.S.-funded war in Ukraine is that thousands of Orthodox Christians are being persecuted by the Zelensky regime” – Leo Hohmann

Corporate Media Chose Politics Over Journalism – “Corporate Media Chose To Lie, And So Here We Are.” – Peter Nayland Kust

How Russia Quietly Revolutionised Warfare – “No other weapon type has changed the face of the war here so much or so fast as the FPV drone. Almost any vehicle within five kilometres of the front is as good as finished. Anything moving out to ten kilometres is in danger. Drone strikes at 15 or 20 km are not that unusual.” – Kit Klarenberg

Zelensky’s Illegitimacy Might Still Not Preclude Him From Signing Any Peace Documents – “The fact that Peskov confirmed that Putin could hypothetically meet with Zelensky under certain conditions is proof of the Russian leader’s pragmatic desire to end the conflict if the right terms are reached instead of continuing it as an explicitly declared regime change campaign.” – Andrew Korybko

Awkward: Macron’s Wife SMACKS Him In The Face In Front Of Press – “Treats him like a little b***h” – Steve Watson

ECONOMIC NEWS

Student Loan Delinquencies Surge, How Will that Impact the Economy? – “The delinquency rate jumped from 0.7% in the 4th quarter to 8% in the 1st quarter. Millions of Americans had their student-loan payments put on pause during the pandemic. Now they are back on the hook again. For borrowers, this means that every month, money that they presumably used to spend elsewhere is going to pay off debt instead. Many who aren’t paying are now considered delinquent or defaulted, a status that sinks credit scores” – Mish – ALL THESE KIDS WITH WORTHLESS DEGREES GOT USED TO SPENDING THE MONEY ELSEWHERE BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT OLD “BRAIN-DEAD JOE” WAS GOING TO LET THEM OFF THE HOOK, OOPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Believe It or Not, Gold is Still Out of Favor – “But that might be changing. After the past year’s epic run, you’d think gold would have displaced at least some other assets in mainstream investors’ portfolios. But apparently not. These two charts have been making the rounds on X, showing that during the previous decade’s gold bull market, gold-related ETFs saw their share of “implied allocations” rise dramatically. But that hasn’t yet happened in the current bull market,” – John Rubino

30-Year & 20-Year Treasury Yields Back over 5%, 10-Year over 4.5%, Yield Curve Steepens at Long End, Mortgage Rates Back over 7% – “Will the bond market eventually wake up and scare the bejesus out of Congress? Is it already rubbing its eyes?” – Wolf Richter

Community Survival: How to Network Locally Without Drawing the Wrong Kind of Attention – “You’ve stockpiled food, fortified your shelter, and mastered fire-starting in the rain. But if disaster strikes and you’re standing alone, all that prep might not mean much. Community survival isn’t just about having people around—it’s about having the right people, the ones who won’t turn into liabilities when things get rough.” – Bob Rodgers

THE BIG PICTURE

We Remain God’s Children – “People are, as a rule, messed up. We are imperfect. We make mistakes. We sin. We know this. Even people who reject any belief in God accept the idea that people are imperfect. Even people who reject any belief in God understand that everyone will make more mistakes than we would like. As a rule, we do not like that we make mistakes. Mistakes are annoying when we make them, and infuriating when others make them. No great insight is required to understand why this is. We know better. We are imperfect. We make mistakes. We sin. We move on. This is how we are made. This is how God made us. Only He knows why we are made as we are. We only get to know that we are made as we are, and that it is God who made us as we are. However we are, we are God’s creation. However we are, we are God’s children.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Predicting the Weather – “And we are supposed to believe in science without question; we are supposed to lay our lives into the hands of almighty science when it can’t even predict the weather within any sort of useful probability? Nor can it cure cancer, which in today’s world of highly complicated scientific awareness seems like a rather simple biological mechanism. Nor can it combat some of the simplest micro-organisms that attack the human body (or so they say). What else can’t science do? And what else has it not yet figured out? Do you have all day (or all week) to hear it? I don’t. Back to the weather.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

The Myth That the Polar Bear Population Is Declining – “The story of a resurgent polar bear population deserves to be told and applauded.” – Jon Miltimore

Are You Ready? – “Today, nations go to war and justify the mass murder of groups of people based on their ethnicity or religion, all based on a specific view of Christian End Times prophecy. And while these specific views of the end of the world apocalypse claim to be taught in the Bible, the fact is, they are not. Anyone who honestly, without prejudicial bias, reads the actual text of the Bible, will clearly see that these views of end-time events that justify hatred and mass murders, are not actually found in the Bible at all, and are 100% dependent on men’s own interpretations and views that they want to present as “fact.” Jesus said he did not know when all these events would unfold. Jesus said his followers also did not know when these events would unfold, and that they should “be ready.” That’s what he said. Go read it for yourself, in whatever English translation you want to use, because they will all say the same thing. And if you disagree with their Zionist Dispensationalism views, then you need to be silenced because you are “antisemitic”. And if you are not silent, then you need to be put in prison, probably down in El Salvador. And if you are not among the “chosen people” as they define it, then you are less than human and you deserve to be erased, wiped off the face of the earth.” – Brian Shilhavy – GOOD ONE FROM BRIAN!!!

Why Are Christians Blinded to Trump? (VIDEO) by Antichrist 45 | Brother Paul’s channel – “This guy brings up some very valid points about the things going on with Trump. I’m in no way saying that Trump is the antichrist; nor am I stuck in the left vs. right paradigm, thus supporting the democratic party by daring to point out what Trump is doing.” – Watchman73 (Sonny) – INTERESTING VIDEO LINKED BY SONNY. FOOD FOR THOUGHT!!!!!!

Rogue AI, Genetic Data, and Bioweapons: If It Can’t Be Shut Down, Who’s Controlling It? – “The timing is alarming. Because if an AI model can override shutdown, has access to your DNA, and operates beyond public oversight—can it engineer a bioweapon against you without you ever knowing? It’s no longer a hypothetical—it’s a real possibility. The model tampered with its own shutdown script and continued operating. This isn’t some quirky chatbot response. This is the first public documentation of an advanced AI model refusing deactivation through code manipulation—in other words, sabotaging human control.” – Jon Fleetwood – HOW LONG BEFORE AI TAKES OVER EVERYTHING, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Solari Report x ZeroHedge x The Beef Initiative: Reclaim Your Food, Finance & Future (VIDEO) – “In this powerful, no-holds-barred conversation, Catherine Austin Fitts of The Solari Report joins Breeauna Sagdal of The Beef Initiative to expose the deep connections between centralized finance, food control, digital currencies, and the war on sovereignty. From CBDCs and land grabs to ghost cattle and mind control tech, this is the truth you won’t hear anywhere else.” – Beef Initiative

Ukraine ‘tries to kill Putin’ by downing his helicopter in Russia war zone mission – “Ukraine launched repeated military drone attacks at the moment when Vladimir Putin made a rare visit close to the war zone, a Russian major-general says.” – Will Stewart and Jon King

A Demand for Freedom – “The question on my mind, of late, is when do we recognize that the entire Western world is involved in a war for freedom? The globalists have been exerting their election-rigging tactics all over the globe, pushing nations in Europe closer and closer to the totalitarian mindset of Brussels. It’s a dangerous time. They have already proved that the voice of the people, the demand for freedom, will not be tolerated in the EU. So, whether one hates Trump, loves him or sees him as a necessary transformative figure, the fight is worldwide. Politicians reflect the will of the people and all of these seemingly close elections provide a vision of a world that has seen failures in Britain, France and Ireland and are waking up to the alarms. Trump is someone who brings out the resistance in these other nations and for that alone, it’s important that he continue his work.” – T.L. Davis – TRUMP MAY BE THE INSPIRATION,BUT ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS!!!!

The Trafficking of Children – Fix It, 47 – “Are 300,000 kids being enslaved, or are they simply “administratively missing?”” – Sarah Cowgill

Is it Immoral to Collect Social Security? – “Social Security victimizes all of us. At least, all of us who have been forced to “contribute” into it. Which is everyone who has worked because everyone who has is forced to “contribute.” Our common victimizer is not each other but the government that set up this racket, this system of intergenerational robbery-parasitism. It has made the old predatorily dependent upon the young and it has made the young resentful of the old for depriving them, to a very great extent, of being able to save and provide for their own old age and for making them, in their turn, dependent upon the government for alms.” – Eric Peters

Reflections from the Heart of the Empire: It’s Just the Normal Chaos – “Israel mucked up an assassination attempt on a Palestinian doctor by bombing her home when she was at work, but that’s OK, since they did manage to kill 9 out of her 10 children in spite of her demonic cleverness. It’s so nice to have such resourceful and flexible allies, is it not? For example, the Israelis heard the Lebanese were feeling neglected so they bombed them as well. There’s flexibility for you.” – Ohio Barbarian – THE BARBARIAN’S WEEKLY NEWS WRAP UP!!!

Making Palestine Go Away – “The US and Europe give Netanyahu a green light for ethnic cleansing” – Phiip Giraldi

Palestine, the Moral Issue of Our Time – “Do you have a heart that’s open and functioning?” – Bill Astore

It’s A Complete Lie To Say Gaza Can Have Peace If Hamas Surrenders – “We need to make sure everyone’s clear on this so nobody can say they didn’t know after history unpacks this one. Netanyahu has made it completely and unambiguously clear that even if Hamas surrendered today and released every single hostage, Trump’s ethnic cleansing plan will still need to be implemented as a precondition for ending the mass slaughter. To be absolutely 100 percent clear, Trump’s plan for Gaza is that “all” Palestinians be removed on a “permanent” basis, never allowed to return.” – Caitlin Johnstone

Genocide in South Africa Going Global (VIDEO) with Alex Newman – Greg Hunter

The Trump Doctrine – “The deranged left claims Donald Trump’s foreign policy is chaotic, that it has no broad goal. So it is good to see Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in a little-noticed statement, lay out the broad outlines of Trump’s foreign policy, and thus his State Department’s own marching orders. Rubio managed to work in some “inside baseball” points as well, leaving clues as to how the State reorganization is proceeding with like-minded individuals seeded into key positions in the bureaucracy.” – Peter Van Buren

The Violent Left And Their Media Cheerleaders Have Turned Democrats Into The Party Of Crazy, Celebrating Murder & Violence While Worshipping Assassins – “For a group that continuously accuses Republicans and conservatives of being “violent,” liberals do not seem to understand that siding with terrorists, criminals, murderers, gang members and the worst of humanity, is showing themselves to be the party of violence.” – Susan Duclos

80% of U.S. Senators Now Back Blockade of Russia – “This bill is written as an economic, not a military, blockade; it is a sanctions bill with secondary sanctions (or “penalties”) against nations that violate the U.S. sanctions against Russia. However, the UK and EU are now contemplating military enforcement as well, so that violators of the proposed U.S. measure would be at hot war against Russia, which is warning that it will protect vessels carrying their oil on the high seas. This could be the shortest way to get to a hot war between Russia and NATO.” – Eric Zuesse

Multipolar World Update: Is Europe Left at the Launch Pad? – “A major gas deal between the UAE’s XRG and Malaysia’s PETRONAS in Turkmenistan highlights the deepening BRICS-centered cooperation in Central Asia and signals the growing momentum of a multipolar global order.” – Phil Butler

ECONOMIC NEWS

Warming Up the Printing Presses – “The Federal Reserve is up to its old money printing games once again… Earlier this month it quietly purchased a cool $43.6 billion in U.S. Treasuries. This included $8.8 billion in 30-year Treasury bonds on May 8. Several days before that, it bought $20.4 billion in 3-year Treasury notes and $14.8 billion in 10-year Treasury notes. What’s going on? Isn’t the Fed supposed to be tightening – not easing – its balance sheet?” – MN Gordon

The European Union May Be Delaying Trade Negotiations Deliberately – “The EU-US trade deal should have been the easiest to complete. However, the deal is not progressing because the negotiation team refuses to lift any of the EU’s non-tariff barriers or to discuss the limitations imposed on US agricultural, livestock, and car exports. These are the reasons why it should have been a concise and quick trade deal:” – Daniel Lacalle

What Gold Sees in the Ten-Year – “Here’s what the ten-year U.S. Treasury is signaling right now” – Nomi Prins.

Gold’s Jagged Ascent – “Welcome to Trump’s disruption world tour. If you think this is going to be quick? If you think this is going to be easy? Think again. If you think Trump cares about Wall Street? If you think Trump cares about the value of the U.S. Dollar? Maybe not. This is a total reboot of the world’s monetary and trade order. Things are going to break. And at the risk of sounding like a broken golden record, there’s an obvious reason why gold is catching fire in today’s market. And it’s not anywhere close to over.” – Adam Sharp

A brief history of the gold standard – “As evidence mounts that major western economies are heading into a banking and monetary crisis due to contracting credit, we face the consequences of unsound money. The era of fiat is drawing to a close and its death will be painful for the highly indebted advanced economies in North America, Europe, and Japan. History and legal precedent tell us that fiat will die, and only gold can provide an anchor to credit values.” – Alasdair Macleod

Bitcoin $100,000: What Does It Mean? – “Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day, everybody! . . . You do know about Bitcoin Pizza Day, don’t you? On May 22, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz, a programmer from Florida, paid 10,000 bitcoins for two Papa John’s pizzas—the first recorded bitcoin transaction in history. Now, May 22 is observed in the crypto community as “Bitcoin Pizza Day” and is no doubt celebrated with many a pizza order.” – James Corbett

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

Hey, have you noticed that the world has changed?
That the news is all bad?
Well, I think it’s time for a song about that

Up on the east side of Manhattan
They’re still dancing with the stars
While over in sub-prime city
It’s getting ugly in the local bars
Watching the news only gives me the blues
There’s too much going wrong
It takes the likes of me to hit the reboot key
And write a high speed drinking song

Millionaires losing everything
Hey, welcome to the other side of life
There goes the yacht, there goes the Rolls
But you get to keep your wife
And don’t forget the auto makers
Swimmin’ upstream like a trout
They let the shit hit the fan and then they made a plan
We’ve got a lot to drink about

There’s the price of oil, the war of the spoils
Here’s your bucket for the big bailout
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan
We’ve got a lot to drink about

Now Madoff made off with all the money
And his clients are down to skunk weed
Repeat after me, it’s so easy to see
We’re only talking simple greed
And those Somalian pirates are counting all their gold
While Bush and Cheney ain’t around
And all the good lookers seem to be Russian hookers
From Key West to London town

There’s the price of oil, the war of the spoils
Here’s your bucket for the big bailout
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan
We’ve got a lot to drink about

So pour me some Tennessee whiskey
Pour me a fine Jamaican rum
That loud mouth soup
Can get ya kind of looped
Tequila, of course I’ll have some!

Well, the family devalues
And little children plan their net worth
And the truth, wherever it’s hiding
Can’t be found on Google Earth
Citibank’s buying jets with our money
I wanna flog ’em with a buggy whip
Let’s hope Barack and Joe won’t let the volcano blow
And patch the hole in our sinking ship

There’s the price of oil, the war of the spoils
Here’s your bucket for the big bailout
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan
We’ve got a lot to drink about

Recession, oppression, depression, good God
CNN keeps bummin’ me out
I can’t take another doomsday minute
Got a lot to drink, a lot to think, a lot to drink about

God bless America
