THE BIG PICTURE

EU Sanctions Coming to a Neighborhood Near You – “In a time of fake war, many fake accusations must be made. The EU, led by what the whole world recognizes as a group of literal idiots, sanctioned a 70 year old Swiss intelligence analyst, The sanctions require that Colonel Baud’s accounts be frozen, his property seized, that he remains in Belgium, that he shall have no assistance moral, financial or practical, from friends, neighbors, his publishers, or anyone else. The rats in Brussels are currently being starved just in case Colonel Baud needs to have a head cage installed, as he most obviously deserves one. All crimes against the EU, and its trembling military faction, must be punished! Lies and counter-narratives be silenced! Those with eyes to see, ears to hear, and IQs above room temperature must be stopped!” – Karen Kwiatkowski

Land of Confusion: The Great Reset in Motion – “Moving forward, what can we expect? We will see the elite continue to rollout the narrative of permanent emergency under the guise of climate crisis and Russian threat to provide the ideological discipline required to justify a boosted austerity. Meanwhile, digital ID and central bank digital currencies will create a system of total surveillance. In this emerging system, the citizen is replaced by the ‘managed subject’, whose access to the economy is contingent upon a social credit score.” – Colin Todhunter

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

Pennsylvania High Court Rules Police Can Access Google Searches Without Warrant – “The court’s ruling suggests that using the internet now means agreeing to be searched.” – Christina Maas

Jesus’ Disciples who Changed the World After His Death were All Jews, NOT Christians – “Last week I wrote about how modern-day Christians who are part of the Evangelical Church need to be evangelized, because most of them do not know the true Gospel of Jesus Christ, which states that we are all “One in Christ”, and that there is no favored nation or race of people that are “chosen” with special privileges. Such a belief that one group of people based on nationality or religion are better than other human beings, is called “racism” and is described as “prejudice” and “discrimination.”” – Brian Shilhavy  – GOOD READ FROM BRIAN!!!!

Tucker Carlson Is A CIA Operative Used To Help Create Discord And Division, A Propagandist Pretending To Be A Populist While Promoting The United Nations – “He thinks the world of Jeffrey Sachs president of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network, and an SDG Advocate for UN Secretary-General António Guterres on the 17 SDGs.” – The WinePress

Top Vaccine Pimp Paul Offit Ensnared in BRAZEN Lie – “Of course, Paul Offit and Co. are cretins, which the revelations only serve as further proof of — not that anyone in the know needed any more. Exposing and shaming them is all good and well, which we’ve done in independent media ad nauseam.” – Ben Bartee

Freudian Slip Of The Year: Erika Kirk Calls TPUSA A ‘Grift,’ Says Wicked Rapper Nicki Minaj Has A ‘Heart And Soul For God’ – “The Con Inc. – TPUSA psyop is getting out of control, it’s professional wrestling while promoting vile satanists. It’s a script in a battle for your mind. Another day, another installment of “The Days of Our Lives,” starring America’s happiest widow, Erika Kirk, and the gang from Con Inc. and Turning Point USA! This past week, Turning Point USA, now headed-up by Erika Kirk, widow of the organization’s founder Charlie Kirk, held a big AmericaFest convention that brought a number of speakers and pundits within the mainstream ‘conservative’ circles to talk about the current state of the country and where it needs to go. The event was like a WWE professional wrestling event, with bright lights, pyrotechnics, and a packed stadium of cheering fans crying out for their favorite politicians and political apologists.” – The WinePress

I’m taking the license to do so because of our good fortune to be joined today by Matt Taibbi, one of the few remaining truly great independent journalists — a rare breed these days.” – Adam Taggart | Thoughtful Money®

Trump says Colombian president ‘better watch his a**’ after ‘stolen land’ comments – “Over the weekend, Petro made comments echoing left-wing criticism of the U.S., questioning its legitimacy in Texas, California, and other southwest states due to their acquisition after a war with Mexico between 1846 and 1848. When asked about the comments by a reporter on Monday, Trump voiced his anger against the left-wing president.” – Brady Knox

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

From Punchlines to Politics: How Late Night Lost the Plot – “Turns out when your “jokes” are nothing but partisan jabs, viewers notice. Once upon a time, late-night comedy existed for the sole purpose of eliciting laughter. There was no moral, no message, no obligatory agenda. When jokes did get political, the butt could be left, right, or whoever happened to get busted taking a public selfie at a memorial service that week Those days are officially over.” – Jenna McCarthy

The EU’s Failed Attempt To Steal Russia’s Seized Assets Was Self-Discrediting – Andrew Korybko

Another Failure: EUCO Summit Conditions New Ukrainian “Loan” Repayment on Total Victory Over Russia – “The European Council summit that took place between December 18-19th in Brussels was declared a major ‘victory’ by the Eurocrats, when in reality it was again a resounding failure for von der Leyen’s rotten regime and her attempt to utilize stolen Russian assets for Ukraine’s war. The goal was to try to fully seize and use—rather than merely ‘immobilize’—the assets, but instead all they could manage was to create a €90B “loan” for Ukraine—from their own coffers, at that—a far cry from the upwards of €210 they had wanted.” – Simplicius

Real GDP Has Exceeded GDI for 12 Straight Quarters, What’s Going On – “Let’s discuss the statistical discrepancy. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Gross Domestic Income (GDI) are two measures of the same thing. GDP measures total spending on final goods and services, while GDI measures the total income earned from producing them (wages, profits, interest, taxes). Income theoretically must equal expenditure, but they often differ in practice due to data collection lags and methods.” – Mish?

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

THE BIG PICTURE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Now, we are looking at the war for silver that is underway. I am telling people to get what you can while you can because the day will come when silver and gold will be unobtainable. . .. It’s critical for people to acquire what they can acquire now in silver. Gold is always your savings. Silver, historically, has been your barter fund.

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

I couldn’t help but picture South Park’s Eric Cartman as Trump went through a litany of hilariously ludicrous claims, the gist of which included… It’s the Democrats’ fault your health insurance premiums are doubling, not the Republicans.

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

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

Prelude to World War – Part 1 – “As Preppers, we need to look at the past and current events to extrapolate what our future may hold. As Mark Twain wrote, “…history doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes”. Therefore, understanding history can serve as one of the best alarm bells, Preppers have to properly prepare for the future.” – 3AD Scout

THE BIG PICTURE

End of Climate Warming & The Earth Is Shaking – “Instead of reading about record heat, we read on December 9 that a Polar vortex is sending a ‘wrecking ball’ of cold air to the US. The planet’s most extreme cold air flooded into the central and eastern United States last weekend. Europe (and in particular Russia) will be on for truly brutal freezes over the Christmas period, with predictions around 30F below late-December norms — and potentially colder. The long, lucrative climate panic is finally losing its grip. All we have been hearing is record cold, early onset of winter, and too much snow that it embarrasses the global warming mainiacs who predicted no more snow. ” – Dr. Sircus

5 Irish-Inspired Ways to Cheer Up Today (VIDEO) – “I bet you’ve had the experience of feeling a bit blue or even much worse and then reminding yourself that you know some good ways to roust yourself and shake it off. This is an essential life skill, isn’t it, because life is full of highs and lows and even just living in a human body means riding the waves of ups and downs. Today, I want to share with you five Irish ways to cheer up right away – because cheering up means hope and hope brings possibility. ” – Kate Chadbourne

Iain Davis Exposes the Technocratic Dark State (VIDEO) – “From the neoreactionary accelerationists of the Dark Enightenment to the AI-spun social credit web of the NEONERDS, today author and researcher Iain Davis takes us on a whirlwind tour of his new book, The Technocratic Dark State.” – The Corbett Report

Trump Isn’t Building a Ballroom (VIDEO) – “When Trump announced a $300 million ballroom at the White House, something went off in my brain. The pattern recognition part started tingling. Ninety thousand square feet, $300 million, underground construction at a secure government facility. I had heard about something like this before. Something with those exact specifications, that scale, that price point. It took me a minute to place it, but then I remembered: Oracle’s underground data centers in Jerusalem. Built in 2021 for Israeli military intelligence. In October 2025, Trump said something that should have made every journalist in America ask harder questions: “We’re also working with the military on it because they want to make sure everything is perfect. And the military is very much involved in this.” The military is very much involved in this ballroom. Which makes perfect sense if you think about it, because if there’s one thing the Pentagon is known for, it’s their expertise in party planning and floral arrangements.” – Audrey Henson  – WATCH THE VIDEO AND READ THE ARTICLE, GREAT RESEARCH!!!!

Techno-Fascism: Trump Creates ‘US Tech Force’ To Recruit 1,000 ‘Elite’ Employees To Work With Big-Tech To Modernize The Government With AI And Tokenization – “In its continued quest to rapidly infuse AI and automation into nearly every fabric of Americans’ lives, the Trump administration yesterday announced the creation of the official US Tech Force to help in modernizing the government and other federal departments.” – The WinePress

Bill C-9: The Trojan Horse Ottawa Hopes You Don’t Read … Watch the Interview Series Exposing It – “Bill C-9 is being sold as a harmless update to “hate crimes” and “protecting access to cultural and religious spaces.” But the government’s own Charter Statement reveals the truth: This bill quietly expands state surveillance, criminalizes dissent, and introduces life-sentence penalties based on ideology, motive, and interpretation — not actions.” – Connie Shields

The Completely Deluded and Insane Notion That Anything of Value Can Come From Government – “I have discussed the evil nature of government, and that it is a terminal cancer against mankind, for longer than I care to remember. I have refuted over and over again the insane ‘thinking’ that government is necessary. Some in the past (and still today) have stated that government is a necessary evil, but evil is never necessary, and therefore should never be desired as a ruling system.” – Gary D. Barnett

Reject the Bigoted Narrative – “The narrative is clear: if whites hate themselves enough they will cease to exist in a few generations. This will make it better for the majority of people in the world, who are not white. The hatred of whites is acceptable, because all wars have been started and won by white people, therefore, if they are eliminated, brown and black people will be able to win wars and take territory denied to them by the power of white people. Above is the racist narrative. It stems back to the idea that Americans cannot be defeated externally so it must be conquered internally, which has largely been done. At least, the playbook for it is cemented into our educational and societal norms. But before we pull that final veil over the shadow of white hegemony, it might be appropriate to ask the difficult question: Why must we sacrifice our success to accommodate the failure of other cultures?” – T.L. Davis

Reflections from the Heart of the Empire: Things Both Terrible and Ridiculous – “Father-and-son Indian Muslims opened fire with assault weapons at Australia’s Bondi Beach, killing at least 15, including Israelis, and wounding dozens more, so naturally Prime Minister Albanese’s first reaction is to call for tighter gun laws. No gun control law is going to help you if Mossad wants to do a false flag operation, and this sure looks like one. Besides, it’s just wrong to deprive one’s own citizens of weaponry if you’re going to let genocidal maniacs play on their beaches.” – Ohio Barbarian

Israel Propagandists Are Uniformly Spouting The Exact Same Line About The Bondi Shooting – “They are not trying to stop chants which they perceive as dangerous, they are trying to stomp out criticism of Israel’s genocidal atrocities.” – Caitlin Johnstone

Four Days Later: Brown University Shooter Still At Large As Bizarre Anomalies Mount In Investigation – “Anger mounts as the investigation into the Brown University shooting runs into ongoing hurdles: no identifiable suspect, a series of dead-end leads involving so-called persons of interest, and bizarre anomalies as the probe enters its fourth day.” – Tyler Durden

Something Feels Very Off About the Trump Team’s Rapid Defense of Susie Wiles – “This is raising some serious eyebrows. Earlier today, Vanity Fair published a lengthy piece drawn almost entirely from on-the-record conversations with Susie Wiles herself. When the piece became public, Wiles quickly took to social media to dismiss the article as a “disingenuously framed hit piece on me and the finest President, White House staff, and Cabinet in history.” Was she so naive that she really did not see this hit piece coming? And why would she hand a left-wing outlet ample ammunition to smear the Trump team by supplying them with such derogatory statements? But the truly strange part wasn’t Wiles’ response. It was what came next. Trump’s inner circle and cabinet members rushed in to defend her, and their posts were so exaggerated that it went well beyond helping out an ally; it resembled borderline worship.” – The Vigilant Fox

$14 Trillion and Counting, The Case Against the NGO Status Quo – “The Federal Reserve recently disclosed a figure that should stop any serious observer of American public life in his tracks. As of Q2 2025, US NGOs hold $14.12T in assets. That balance sheet is larger than the combined 2025 GDP of Japan, Germany, and India by roughly 5%. This is not a slogan or a talking point. It is a fact drawn from the Federal Reserve’s own Financial Accounts. One can dispute how the assets are distributed, or how actively they are deployed, but the magnitude itself is no longer debatable. A sector of formally private, tax exempt institutions now commands wealth on a scale normally associated with great powers.” – Amuse on X

Why Should Americans Die for European Tyranny? – “If Europe’s elites want war, they should pick up a rifle and fight.” – J.B. Shurk

The EU’s New Policy Towards Russia’s Seized Assets Isn’t About Helping Ukraine – “The real purpose might be to prevent the US from reaching a deal with Russia per point 14 of its leaked 28-point peace framework to invest a significant sum of its (by-then former) adversary’s EU-seized assets into joint projects, likely energy and rare earths, after the conflict ends.” – Andrew Korybko

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

How to Choose a Bug Out Location – “Building a stockpile of food and supplies in your home (your “bug in” spot) is essential, but in some disaster scenarios, you may have to leave your main residence. This departure may be because your family is in danger from natural or human-caused events. A bug out location (BOL) then is a safe place you can go when you must evacuate. A BOL can be a temporary shelter or a permanent one. It can be a house, an apartment, a cabin, or a tent. For the purpose of this article, we will focus on the location of your BOL rather than the type of structure.” – Tricia Drevets

Urban Escape Gear: The Minimalist’s Guide to City Survival – “Get started now! Most preppers focus on wilderness survival scenarios, but statistically, you’re far more likely to face an emergency in an urban environment. According to FEMA, over 80% of Americans live in urban areas, yet less than 39% have any form of emergency plan or preparedness supplies readily available. This pattern repeats in every urban crisis.” – Jason Salyer

How to Defend Without a Gun (When You Are Outnumbered or Surprised) – “Picture the worst case. You are outnumbered, caught off guard, and your firearm is not in reach. That moment tests preparation, not bravado. You can survive with mindset, movement, layers of early warning, and simple tools that are legal to carry. The goal is not to “win a fight.” The goal is to break contact, protect your people, and live.” – Alec Deacon

33 Hygiene Items You’ll Need After The Collapse – “Prepping to survive a disaster often tends to focus on food, water and first aid. Those are all needed, but something that is even more important than food is hygiene supplies. It’s not about looking pretty and smelling good. It’s a real life or death situation. Poor sanitation can lead to death.” – Candi Hanson

Has Orwell’s 1984 Become Reality? – “Everywhere we look in Western countries, from the United Kingdom, through Europe to America (and even India, whose ‘Orwellian digital ID system’ was lavishly praised by British prime minister Keir Starmer recently), what meets the eye is a set of social conditions exhibiting varying stages of precisely the no-longer-fictional totalitarian state depicted by Orwell in 1984. Needless to stress, this constitutes a warning against totalitarianism with its unapologetic manipulation of information and mass surveillance.” – Bert Olivier

It can pressure or punish opponents by inflicting an economic cost. You know what else punishes opponents who would break my shit? Bullets. That doesn’t mean that shooting people is a valid form of discussion or protest. Property rights are anathema to commies. They don’t want to work for it, but they want it. So they take it.

The United Kingdom, for example, has the highest rate of acid attacks across the West, with 1,244 offenses happening since 2022. Why is this happening?

At the same time, attention is often focused on dramatic, low-probability events such as economic collapse, EMPs, or pandemics, while far more likely threats are overlooked.” – Danield MacLeod

Fake festive fear – “Well, it just wouldn’t be a modern Christmas without it, would it? Obviously, we are meant to think that there’s been a dangerous upsurge in virulent antisemitism, which we are going to need lots of new laws to prevent (and maybe a war with Iran). More anti-free speech laws, more anti-privacy laws, more surveillance and restrictions – all to keep the terribly persecuted Jewish community safe, of course. It’s just predictable problem-reaction-solution political theatre.

Spiritually Awakened People Are Vanishing – “There is something very curious happening right now, and most people haven’t noticed it yet. The ones who have awakened, the ones who have begun to see through the game, are simply vanishing. Not with drama, not with announcements, not with manifestos. They are just quietly stepping back, fading into the edges, choosing silence over the noise. When society divides itself into “us” and “them,” the awakened see both sides shadowboxing. Once you see this, you cannot unsee it. You cannot go back to taking it all seriously. You cannot participate in blame, judgment, and righteous anger because you understand it’s all one big projection—a massive game of pointing outward to avoid looking inward. So what does the awakened person do? They withdraw. Not because they hate people, but because staying in the game means betraying what they’ve seen.” – Brett Hawes

No Safe Haven For Narco-Terrorists – “A diagnostic measure of damaged reasoning capacity is the incapacity to recognize one’s own cognitive dissonance – particularly when it is pointed out. I have two examples of the phenomenon. The first is Trump’s braying about what he ominously styles “narco terrorists” and how they must not have “safe haven” anywhere. Well, except here. This is the same Trump who has given safe haven to terrorists who are exactly that – because they actually did terrorize Americans by using the government to push drugs on them. This is something the so-called “narco terrorists” outside of America do not do. Smuggling drugs, yes – which merely means they are transporting their drugs – so we are told – from A to B illegally,” – Eric Peters

Free and Fair? – ““Election denier” is a curious term. It implies that anyone who even questions the validity of an election is not right in the head, maybe even. . . a heretic, a sociopath, a criminal, an enemy of the people! Tina Peters was County Clerk in Mesa County, western Colorado, at the time of the 2020 elections, which Donald Trump won in her county by a 63-percent margin, though “Joe Biden” won the state. Tina Peters sought evidence that the machines were capable of being manipulated by wireless internet. She made copies of the hard drives and published passwords online, exposing proprietary software and sensitive system information. She was indicted in 2022 on 13 counts and convicted in August of 2024 on seven counts. Judge Matthew Barrett threw the book at her, handing the then-69-year-old grandmother a nine-year stretch in state prison. Rather harsh treatment, wouldn’t you say? For months, Mr. Trump’s Department of Justice attempted to intervene in the Tina Peters case and, at least, get her moved into a safer federal prison. Colorado officials fought all that. So, last week, Mr. Trump issued a pardon for Tina Peters.” – James Howard Kunstler

I’m not going to answer this question. but I think you should. because we are playing with the most dangerous of fire here and the stakes are about as high as stakes get. Yet again, this time in Sydney, in a notably “gun free zone,” we see murderously effective attacks by devotees to the self-styled “religion of peace” upon innocents merely seeking to celebrate a holiday in peace.” – El Gato Malo

Ambassador Mike Huckabee Strikes Again – “Let’s stop participating in and covering for Israeli crimes. So Israel, which has killed hundreds of Gazans, many of them children, since the so-called Ceasefire was declared on October 11th, has now stated that it is currently intending to maintain its “yellow line” occupation of more than half of the Gaza Strip. That will likely eventually make most of Gaza de facto part of Israel and the Palestinians who once upon a time lived there are shit out of luck, as the old saying goes. And as for those benighted creatures who actually believe that ceasing fire means one must stop shooting it is perhaps past time to ask the man behind the “Peace Plan” which bears the name “Trump” what is going on. ” – Philip Giraldi

EU Sanctions Swiss Intelligence Expert Jacques Baud – “The European Union is trying to eliminate sources of information that do not confirm with its official interpretation of real world events. One of the latest persons hit with official EU restrictions is the former Swiss intelligence official and author Jacques Baud: Baud is not writing fantasies. There are footnotes on nearly every page of his books with links to the sources. His analyses are objective and well founded. That of course does not sit well with a EU officialdom that is living in a fantasy world where Russia is so weak that its economy will crash the next month and so strong that it will conquer Europe by next summer. Such Russophrenia is used for a power grab by technocrats and the dismantling of the last traces of democracy in Europe.” – Moon of Alabama

ECONOMIC NEWS

THE DEEPER DIVE: Shoppers Feel the Pinch of the Grinch, Farmers Feel the Folly – “70% of Americans now understand what is really happening in the US economy, and they SERIOUSLY don’t like it. Under a chaotic government where real data just isn’t available, even the Fed no longer trusts what little data is coming out. Trump showed back in 2016 that he understands how this all works: “They’re keeping the rates artificially low so the economy doesn’t go down,” Trump said in response to a question about a potential rate hike by the Federal Reserve this month. “So that Obama can say he did a good job. That’s the only reason that the rates are so low. They’re keeping the rates artificially low so that Obama can go out and play golf after January and say that he did a good job. But it is a very, a very false economy.” Uh huh, and what does Trump plan to do now, then. The same thing … obviously. “We have a very false economy,” he repeated. Yes, we do!” – David Haggith

Although silver has been advancing for months now, it’s only been just over 2 weeks ago that it broke out of the giant holding pattern that it has been stuck in for about 45 years, the enormous Cup & Handle base I’ve shown previously.” – Clive Maund

Faith in the Hard Times: How Worldviews Shaped Their Survival – “In every crisis, people reach for the beliefs that live deeper than fear. The strongest survivors in American memory did this as a matter of course. Pioneer families opened the day with Scripture and closed it with hymns. Native tribes leaned on ceremonies that tied every person to land, kin, and Creator. Amish communities lived their creed with shared work and mutual aid. These worldviews did more than comfort. They organized labor, set conduct, and kept minds steady when supplies ran thin and danger pressed close. Preppers who want staying power should study that pattern. Food and shelter keep the body alive. Faith and community keep the will to act.’ – Alec Deacon

Famine Foods of Europe: When Survival Replaced Cuisine – “When the topic of the famine foods of Europe is brought up, it often pictures strange recipes or lost peasant traditions. That misses the point because these weren’t foods chosen for flavor, culture, or even nutrition. They were eaten because the alternative was watching children starve, elders fade, and whole villages empty out. Cuisine disappears fast when granaries are bare.” – Bob Rodgers
