IF NOTHING ELSE WATCH THIS ABOUT 35 MINUTES LONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Christmas Truce of World War I – John V. Denson – GOOD HISTORICAL READ!!!!

The Birth of Jesus Changed Humanity – “Jesus was not born in a palace or among the wealthy and powerful. Instead, His arrival was marked by simplicity, peace, and a deep connection to the heart of humanity.” – Karen Kingston

My Christmas Wish List – Bert Powers / (John Barleycorn)  – CAN’T THINK OF TOO MUCH TO ADD TO THIS LIST. GOOD ONE FROM BERT!!!

This Christmas in the New Normal – Off Guardian  – MORE INSANITY BEING FOISTED ON US!!!!!!

Unfortunately, The Trump Cabinet Will Likely Expand the Surveillance State – “The surveillance state is an outcropping of the Fourth Branch of Government, which is, essentially, the unelected intelligence community in control of our government. The surveillance state comes from the creation of the Dept of Homeland Security (DHS) which is an entirely inward-looking agency. Prior to the Patriot Act, the surveillance sweep searching for terror threats focused outward, looking outside the U.S borders. The Patriot Act took the surveillance sweep a full 360 degrees and looked inside the Homeland for terror threats. Hence, DHS was created.” – Sundance

President Trump To Withdraw The United States From The “Corrupt Globalist Scam” Known As The World Health Organization – “President Trump’s transition team has made plans to immediately extricate the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO), which is nothing more than the eugenics arm of the United Nations.” – 2nd Smartest Guy in the World

Did Governments follow a recipe for effective torture against their populations during “covid”? – “It sure looks like they were trying to break the will of their citizens.” – Jonathan Engler

Doctor Reveals in 1 Minute How Much Aluminum, Mercury, and Chemicals Children Ingest Through Vaccines – “When Dr. Sherri Tenpenny worked in the emergency room, she believed vaccines contained only weakened viruses and saline. That assumption shattered in September 2000 when she read the package insert of a vaccine for the first time.” – RAIR Foundation

Hijacking Christmas & the Church for ‘Climate’ – “Political bosses, green energy promoters, and even the Pope weaponized Christmas to shove progressivism and climatism on the earth.” – Alex Newman

NEWS

Corporate America – “Just in time for Christmas, the “tech bros”, who jumped on the Trump bandwagon last summer, launched a campaign on Twitter in favor of infinite Indian migration, for all the long ago debunked economic reasons. It was not just David Sacks trying to subvert the meaning of American First. Elon Musk took time away from not celebrating Christmas to push the idea of unlimited immigration from India as well. Like all the tech bros, nation wreckers and open society types, his claim rests on the obvious lie that India is full of future Einsteins that America must recruit in order to win. What we win by turning your neighborhood into a New Delhi slum is never explained, because it is a lie. Oligarchs like Musk do not see America as their home, but as a company they just acquired. The triumphalism of the tech bros is that they now think with Trump in the White House, they can do what Musk did with Twitter, to the whole country and reorganize it for their purposes. They are the board that took the company called America private and now plan to reorganize it.” – The Z Man

Trust the Government! – “Well, Maybe Not. One of my favorite bumper stickers has this message: If you think you can trust the government, ask an Indian (Native American). It’s a good reminder. Lately, the mainstream media has warned us against conspiracy theorists. Against distrusting government and media narratives. And yet recently (and finally!) the Wall Street Journal came clean in an article that probed President Biden’s declining stamina and mental health. ” – Bill Astore

The King James Test for American Democracy – “On December 1, President Joe Biden announced that he was pardoning his son Hunter for all the crimes he committed from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024. President Biden absolved all of his son’s felonies because of his “serious addictions” and because Hunter was purportedly mistreated by Biden’s own appointees at the Justice Department. But going back 40 years to his time as chairman of Senate Judiciary Committee chairman, Joe Biden favored vociferously and mercilessly prosecuting hapless individuals for the same offenses for which he absolved his son. Biden’s pardon of his son epitomizes how presidents and their families are now above the law. It also illustrates how the “King James Test for American Democracy” could become the death of the Constitution.” – James Bovard

What If Solutions That Worked in the Past No Longer Fix What’s Broken? – Charles Hugh Smith

Former DARPA Drone Operator Claims Mysterious Drones Over U.S. May Be a ‘Distraction’ for Future Military Attack – “Mike Glover, a former drone operator for both defense research lab DARPA and the US military, has warned that the recent wave of mysterious drone sightings over the U.S. could be part of a larger, more sinister agenda. “In my career, I flew drones, a lot of drones. Almost every drone in the inventory, I was qualified to fly. I taught people how to fly the drones, and I worked a couple of special programs with DARPA on flying drones for Task Force… If a foreign adversary was doing a covert up to surveil, they’re not going to have flashing and illuminating lights,” The broader concern voiced by Glover and others is the potential that these drone sightings are being used as a media diversion.” – Jim Hᴏft

Millions of Companies Must Register w/ Massive U.S. Database by Jan. 1 Due to Last-Minute Court Ruling – “Enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) has been reinstated along with its impending January 1, 2025 filing deadline…” – Ken Silva

Michigan won’t be Michigan for much longer – “Data from the U.S. Census Bureau for 2024 found while Michigan had a gain in population over the past year, it was driven by international migration. The Great Replacement in real time—and what does a great replacement mean in reality? Well, it means the physical landscape changes: homestyle diners give way to another Mexican food truck run by illegals, and mom and pop groceries give way to halal markets. It means a demographic change, and white Americans become a minority in their own home (whites are already a global minority by a shocking degree). It means laws change, it means history is lost, and it means no more Michigan as we know it. It means Michigan will become all that the foreigners fled.” – Olivia Murray

Putin’s Remarks About Jews, Ukraine, And The Russian Orthodox Church Aren’t Anti-Semitic – Andrew Korybko

The Waste Of Putin’s War – “How Much Blood And Treasure Can Russia Afford To Pay? No matter how one views the geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe, regardless of whether one views the conflict as the product of a militaristic posturing by Putin or reckless and largely corrupt NATO expansion efforts designed to “surround” Russia, the practical consequences of war emerge not from the motives or reasons, but from the choice to go to war. Even as we concede the obvious, that NATO is, first and foremost, an “anti-Russia” military alliance, we must also concede that the decision to invade Ukraine was solely Vladimir Putin’s.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Another Expert Report Finds Israel Is Committing Genocide. the West Yawns – “Three separate reports published this month by leading international human rights and medical groups have detailed the same horrifying story: that Israel is well advanced in its genocide of the Palestinian population in Gaza. Or, to be more accurate, they have confirmed what was already patently clear: that, for the past 14 months, Israel has been slaughtering tens of thousands of Palestinians with indiscriminate munitions, while at the same time gradually starving the survivors to death and denying them access to medical care.” – Jonathan Cook

Israel’s Long History as a Rogue Terrorist Nation: Part 1 – “The long history of Zionist terrorism the mainstream doesn’t want to talk about. Hideously evil Zionists like Menachem Begin, David Ben-Gurion and wanted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu are NOT above criticism simply because they are Jewish. If you disagree, and think these folks are beyond reproach simply because they’re Jews, then congratulations – you are a BIGOT. Like militant feminists, you are the very thing you disingenuously claim to despise. No-one wants to be called a racist or xenophobe, and the ‘antisemitism’ sham cynically exploits this fear. The ‘antisemitism’ ruse is a smokescreen, an intimidation campaign designed to suppress criticism of Zionists and prevent discussion of their well-documented treachery and terrorism. Do not fall for it.” – Anthony Colpo

ECONOMIC NEWS

It’s Not Just that Monthly Payment – “It is freeing – literally – to not have to come up with the average (with good credit!) $734 monthly new car payment (as of 2024). But it’s not just that. They – the lenders and those who rely on your willingness to buy this much debt – don’t want you to think about what else comes along for that ride, in addition to that monthly payment. The insurance payment, for instance. How much does that cost? How about roughly $2,500 per year – on average? That’s – roughly – another $200 per month you’ll be paying, rounding out to just shy of $1,000 per month. That used to be roughly enough to just about cover a mortgage on a modest single family home. It is still enough to cover about half the cost of a monthly mortgage payment on a modest single family home.” – Eric Peters – A MUST READ FROM ERIC.

Who Bought and Holds the Recklessly Ballooning US National Debt, even as the Fed is Unloading its Treasury Securities? – “A hot question for an iffy situation. So here are the holders as of Q3.” – Wolf Richter

The Fed is Cutting. Why Are Mortgage Rates Going Up? – “Although it’s continuing to cut, the Fed’s actions primarily influence short-term interest rates, such as the federal funds rate. This is the rate at which banks lend to one another overnight. These short-term rates affect a wide range of borrowing costs including those on credit cards, car loans, and adjustable-rate mortgages. However, most mortgage rates, particularly those for fixed-rate loans, are more closely tied to long-term bond yields such as the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds. And right now, 10-year Treasury yields are soaring.” – Schiff Gold

Three Layers of Food Preservation for Winter Survival – “As someone who lives in USDA climate zone 4, where temperatures dip down to -30F, I take winter seriously. Each fall, when winter looms, yes, I am thinking about the usual homestead tasks of preparing firewood and making sure the woodstove is ready for burning. However, I am also getting ready to survive the winter without grocery stores. Now, so far, the grocery stores have continued to operate, but you never know.” – Rowan O’Malley

VERSES FOR THE DAY

Matthew 2:1-2 and 11-13 

 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,  Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.  And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.  And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.

What kind of reception would Jesus and his family be given? Would we recognize the Christ child’s humanity, let alone his divinity?

The budget and the country need a deep, deep cleaning to remove what it is they’ve done, then we need to resolve to never allow it to happen again.” – Derek Hunter

Joe Biden’s cynically heads over to the Vatican to buy himself some salvation from the pope – “”President Biden will have an audience with the Pope and discuss efforts to advance peace around the world,” Jean-Pierre said Thursday. Biden’s claim about advancing “peace” is laughable, given his ramping up of the Ukraine war and his roadblocks to Israel effectively extending its wars against terrorists was not about peacemaking. Meanwhile, the claim that the pope did the inviting is questionable. We don’t hear the pope saying he invited him.” – Monica Showalter

America is a declining country. – “The entire economy is corrupt, and ESPECIALLY in its ‘Defense’ and health-care (including nutrition, hospital chains, insurance, pharmaceuticals, etc.) sectors — which have long been the most profitable sectors, the ones that have the highest long-term returns-on-investment. What’s terrific for investors is lousy for the public, but the entire American system is based upon HIDING that fact FROM the public. ” – Eric Zuesse

The Grinch Who Stole Your Wallet – “In the land of Fedville, where the Americans were quite merry looking at 2025, there lived a green, 25% cotton and 75% linen Grinch, whose heart was inflationary. Americans who lived in Fedville were ebullient about their post-election prospects, but the Grinch, who lived inside the Fedville capital of the Eccles Building, was not. The Grinch hated the 2024 election results – and Christmas. The whole thing. Now, please don’t ask why. No one quite knows the reason. It could be he did not want to make Fedville great again. It could be, perhaps, that he loved inflicting the printing press’s pain.” – Andrew Moran

THE BIG PICTURE

Leftists Hate Santa Claus And It’s Not Only Because He’s White. – “It happens every year around December, a predictable flurry of pseudo-psychology articles from low-IQ progressives expounding on the negatives of Christmas. After all, the political left is so obsessed with destroying Christianity that they continue to repeat the false narrative that Christmas is a “pagan holiday” and that all the traditions are stolen and repurposed. This claim is debunked every year and yet every year they keep trying to bring it back. When the claims of pagan co-option failed to yield any results, leftists turned to more woke methods to undermine the Christmas holiday. Going beyond religion, progressives have even sought to take down Santa Claus. You would think a guy that goes around giving away his wealth and helping the poor would immediately appeal to socialist leftists who claim to be the guardians of the underclass, but that’s not really the case. They say the biggest problem is that Santa is “white” and that he represents the western world’s habit of making white people the “default”. I would argue that this is a smokescreen for other problems the leftists don’t want to fully admit to, but let’s start with race…” – Brandon Smith

Merry Christmas to the Forgotten Lonely and depressed for the holidays – “I’ll be celebrating with my loved ones, and trying to remember the reason for the season. But I’ll also be thinking of those who aren’t as fortunate. Who’ve been neglected by their own families, for reasons they don’t understand. Who have no festive, well lit tree to sit in front of. No turkey dinner awaiting them. No mistletoe to hang, because there won’t be anyone to get stuck under it with. No one to hug or kiss. They could make whiskey sours, but it’s never fun to drink alone. At least I never could enjoy it. God bless the forgotten. Let’s hope that some of those cold-hearted family members will be inspired by the lesson of Ebenezer Scrooge, and redeem their hearts by reaching out to their lonely loved ones. ” – Donald Jeffries

A Christmas Prayer – “The longest and coldest night of the year is upon us with its portents of endings, the death of things, of people like ourselves, and also bodies of thought, movements of culture and politics.

Christmas is the lovely distraction for a brief spell, and after that, the difficult labor of the nation commences for-real in the long night of the year.

The Tariff Man – “Tariffs – which is just another way to say taxes – will do what the application of taxes always does: It will make the taxed item cost more rather than less. If Trump follows through on his promise, what will happen is that vehicles will cost more rather than less. Not just those made outside the USA, either. A kind of rip tide will be created that increases the costs of vehicles, generally – irrespective of where they’re made. This will not make America great again.

Drones, Radioactive Material, and a Real SHTF Story- “The dangerous part of radioactive accidents is the difficulty to detect leaks without proper equipment, or until it has spread and the effects start showing up. Unlike chemicals, gas, or other substances, which are usually followed by smoke, fire, smell, or some other signal that prompts immediate warning and action. A detection device at home may be good if you think there’s enough radioactive risk where you live. Finally, it doesn’t hurt to be ready to bug in and also to bug out. Any uncommon activity in your area should be checked. If you think something looks weird, go check yourself. Or not.

Luke 2:6-12     And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.  And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.  And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.  And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.  And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.  For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.  And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

THE BIG PICTURE

Two Women. Two Mothers. Two Miracles. – “As with the stories of all men, the story of Jesus begins in His mother Mary’s womb. Having conceived by the Holy Spirit, Mary carried Him through her pregnancy until it was time for Him to be born in Bethlehem. Interwoven with the story of Jesus is the story of another man, John the Baptist. Born into the world and raised into manhood, John preached a message of preparation, that the Kingdom of Heaven was nearly upon the world. John’s ministry would culminate with the baptism of Jesus. Yet that baptism was not the first time the paths of Jesus and John had crossed, nor is John’s ministry the beginning of his story.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Choosing What to Believe – “There was a time in a galaxy far, far, away that you didn’t have the luxury of “choosing” what to believe. The job at hand was to figure out what the truth was and believe in that—the truth. Now, it seems we don’t need to do that if we don’t want to. Now we can choose—if we don’t like an option, we can cast it aside and believe something else that makes us feel better. That way we can create the reality we want—or so we think. Soon, there may be only one option in what to believe—the truth. And it probably isn’t going to be pretty.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

Most People Got No Idea What’s Coming – “Most Americans, like children at the seashore where the tide has gone out, unfathomably far, stand there, mesmerized, without concern they ought to run for their lives. They don’t get they are witnessing a process, in a waiting game, ahead of the biggest Tsunami in history. The US and its allies are running out of runway. Food price inflation continues off the charts. We see price inflation across the entire realm of discretionary spending. Snowmobile/jet ski production has been stopped indefinitely—and the realtors are in panic. For friends who assume that central bank gold purchase will drive gold price up— think again. Debt acceleration far outstrips the amount of gold purchased for insurance. ” – neverhadaboss.com  – GOOD READ FROM ERIK. TAKE HEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And you might end up with something much worse than a cold or flu if you submit to one of Big Pharma’s patented death shots.” – Leo Hohmann

War on Microbes: The murky agenda behind the covid ‘pandemic’ – “THE biodefense mafia don’t really care whether zoonosis (a disease passed from animals to humans) or a lab leak was to blame for the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. They just want you to believe there was a pandemic and restrict causation to one of those two options. It’s a false binary. Either explanation is a win for them because what they’re really doing is setting an elephant trap. The objective is to perpetuate the ‘War on Microbes’, a taxpayer-subsidised pharma racket in which finding or inventing viruses in order pre-emptively to invent countermeasure vaccines can continue ad infinitum. Either excuse serves their purpose.” – Paula Jardine

“Take it Down Act” to Protect Children from Online Sex Abuse had Bipartisan Support with Unanimous Senate Approval – Musk and Trump Killed It – “Last night the House of Representatives approved the bill to stop the U.S. Government from shutting down, and Elon Musk came out the big winner (Donald Trump – not so much), by getting two provisions removed that would have hurt his companies and potentially reduced much of his wealth. The one provision that was killed and that so far I have not seen anyone in the media ask “why?”, was the removal of the widely popular “Take it Down Act” which had bipartisan support, would protect children from being sexually abused online from pornography developed through AI without their consent, and had already passed the Senate by a unanimous vote. It was in the original bill that was set to be approved before Musk used his X bully pulpit to stop it. The other thing Musk was successful in removing, was a provision to limit Tech investments in China.” – Brian Shilhavy

How a European industrial rock band opposed to violence got tied to school shootings in America – “n 1999, when the band’s lyrics were cited by the perpetrators of the Columbine High School massacre in Colorado, which resulted in 13 deaths, their message of resistance was suddenly eclipsed by the violence they had long condemned. In January, a song by the band was featured in a TikTok video posted moments before a 17-year-old unleashed gunfire at Iowa’s Perry High School, killing two and wounding others. And now, the band has once again been thrust into the spotlight by photos of 15-year-old freshman Natalie Rupnow, who on Monday killed a teacher and student at her private school in Madison, Wisconsin. The images show her wearing a black KMFDM band shirt while at a shooting range.” – Alaa Elassar  – THIS IS JUST A DISTRACTION, THE REAL CAUSE ARE THE KIDS ON SSRIs. SUPPOSEDLY NATALIE WAS IN THERAPY.

Without Assad, Syria Will Fall Apart – “Despite Bashar al-Assad’s crimes, he is the only realistic answer to Syria’s troubles. When analyzing Assad, people must ask themselves the common question for which economists are known: compared to what? Let’s not forget how Iraq looked after Saddam Hussein was toppled in 2003. An Iraqi by the name of Kadom al-Jabouri took his sledgehammer to help topple Saddam Hussein’s statue as US troops entered the city. A decade later, he says why he regrets it: “Then we had only one dictator. Now we have hundreds.” Iraq today suffers from the typical instability produced by countries unaccustomed to parliamentarianism.” – John Kennedy

Details are scarce, and no one quite yet knows if this is all a part of some psyop campaign to throw the AFU off, or a real concerted beginning toward a major operation” – Simplicius

Why Would Honda Buy Nissan? – “There are rumors afoot that Honda – which is healthy – is considering buying Nissan. Which isn’t. Just a couple of weeks ago, a senior person within Nissan’s hierarchy said the company had “12 or 14 months to survive.” That’s not healthy. That’s just shy of dead. Honda is not in that position. So why would Honda put itself in that position – by doing what amounts to chaining itself to a dead man walking? What do they think think lies down “the road to full electrification”? Has Honda’s management lost its ever-loving mind? Well, because China is why.” – Eric Peters

Treasury Yield Curve Un-Inverts Entirely, as Long-Term Yields Rise while Short-Term Yields Stay Put, No Longer Pricing in Rate Cuts. Mortgage Rates back Above 7% – Wolf Richter

Depression, Debt, Default & Destruction in 2025 (VIDEO) with Martin Armstrong – “We are in this Ponzi Scheme. They have to keep selling new debt to pay off the old debt. . . . When you can’t sell the new debt, that’s when the default happens because you can’t pay off the old debt. What should the average guy do now? Does Armstrong think people should get to the bank and get cash? Armstrong says, “Yes, cash, physical paper money. We just had two hurricanes here in Florida. This idea of Bitcoin and CBDCs are very nice, but what’s the reality? The internet was down for 10 days. A credit card did not work. You wanted something, it was cash only. It was the same in Canada when they froze all the accounts of the truckers. They could not even buy food. Unless you had cash, you were dead in the water. ” – Greg Hunter

Whoever Does Not Respect the Penny is Not Worthy of the Dollar – “This definitive sign of a currency collapse is easy to see… It’s when paper money becomes trash. Maybe you’ve seen images depicting hyperinflation in Germany after World War I. The German government had printed so much money that it became worthless confetti. Today, there’s a similar situation in the US. When was the last time you saw someone pick up a penny off the street? A nickel? A dime? Nowadays, even bums often can’t be bothered to pick up anything less than a quarter. The US dollar has become so debased that these coins are essentially pieces of rubbish. They have little to no practical value.” – Nick Giambruno

Cocoa Biggest Commodity Winner Of Year As Food Inflation “Enters Dangerous Territory” Tyler Durden

Technical Update on Gold & Silver – “Although the Fed met expectations by cutting rates on Wednesday, it roiled the markets by signaling a slower pace of rate cuts in the future. Since the election, financial markets have been marked by heightened volatility and uncertainty as they absorb news about President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks and potential economic policies. Adding to the complexity are geopolitical tensions and ongoing speculation about Fed policy. On Wednesday and into Thursday, markets across the board—from stocks and commodities to cryptocurrencies—experienced sharp sell-offs after the Fed adopted a more hawkish stance on interest rate cuts for 2025, citing persistently entrenched inflation.” – Jesse Colombo

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

Now I’ve heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music, do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

You say I took the name in vain
I don’t even know the name
But if I did—well, really—what’s it to you?
There’s a blaze of light in every word
It doesn’t matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn’t much
I couldn’t feel, so I tried to touch
I’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I’ll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah

(Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen )

 

 

THE BIG PICTURE

Beyond Dunderdrone – “Oh for heaven’s sakes! Are there dunderheads running the world now? Their magic tricks and deception play like a scratchy old vinyl in the background of our lives now. Now we have lightshows and drones. The drones of New Jersey are not as splendid as the drones of China unfortunately. What did we do to deserve such a paltry show? Here’s the thing nobody ever told our leaders…if you don’t want to be paranoid, don’t make enemies. How in the hell, e.g. did Canada, known for peace-keeping and civility suddenly end up on Russia’s enemy list? And Iran? And possibly China? WTF? Why are we in a hot war with Russia? Why are they screaming on the streets to kill people in Montreal and Toronto? Why is this happening? Why are our leaders such dunderheads? It is the Banksters. It is always the Banksters and their minions. Follow the blood trail of the money to the tops of the towers of the rich lustrous cities and trace their treachery and greed and arrogance. Trace it to the pinprick of grey that dissipates in the pupils of their eyes.” – Sylvia Shawcross

Eggflation: Dozen-Pack At Supermarket Hit Record Highs As Bird Flu Ravages Farms – “New retail price data shows supermarket prices of a dozen eggs have soared to record highs. The surge comes amid an ever-expanding bird flu outbreak that has led to the culling of millions of birds, denting the size of the nation’s egg-laying hen population. Bloomberg cited Expana data showing that a dozen eggs in the Midwest cost about $5.67 this week, exceeding the record high of $5.46 set in December 2022. ” – Tyler Durden  – BIRD FLU IS MORE THAN JUST ANOTHER SCAMDEMIC, IT’S A WAY FOR THEM TO DESTROY THE FOOD SUPPLY.  EGGS, CHICKENS , BEEF, AND  MILK ARE ALL TAKING A HIT. THE RESET PLANS CONTINUE!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Evil and Perversion of the Word “We” – “Corruption of language is so common today, that one could write a book on the subject, and never lack for any shortage of material to cover. But today we are discussing the word “we.” People love this word because they can insert themselves into each and every situation, every event, every circumstance of favor, every community, state, and even national experience, whether good or bad, stealing that which is not theirs, and taking credit for themselves in order to escape their own cowardice. This boils down to one taking credit for another’s achievements, or another’s actions, by infusing yourself into the thoughts, behavior, or results of the conduct of others. One should every time he decides to use the word “we,” replace it with “I” to see if it fits. If not, do not use it at all.” – Gary D. Barnett – GREAT READ FROM GARY!!!!

Crying is not an Emergency – “Meet Virgie Tovar, who i swear is a real person, not joking, and has an actual government position working for san francisco as its “weight stigma czar.” this woman is the uncontested actual avatar of the ostentatiously insane narcissism complex seeking to intrude upon all norms and sense to violate them as some sort of self-aggrandizing power play of broken bossypants bullshittery. Flawless indeed.” – El Gato Malo  – JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF DEI GONE BAD AND THIS PERSON IS SUPPOSE TO KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT HEALTH!!!!!

The real meaning of TRANS – “It’s a triple-headed monster. Perhaps there are more heads. I’ll stick with three for now. TRANSGENDER, TRANSHUMANISM, TRANSMISSION. These three stories are being pushed to the limit, to usher in a new age, a new society, a new and transformed world.” – Jon Rappoport

Diversity, Equity, and Perversity? – “A new brand of “inclusion” is gaining traction among the terminally ignorant…” – Jim McCraigh

Pandemic 2.0 Unleashed? California Declares State of Emergency Amid Bird Flu Propaganda Blitz – “If you will recall, in the run-up to the election, the Deep State’s operatives in D.C. were floating numerous schemes to thwart a Trump victory. No such schemes, clearly, have yet been enacted, and my read is that the plan now is to dump as much chaos into the Trump administration’s lap as possible so as to blame him for the fallout of their evil own deeds. This includes, but is not limited to, a hot new pandemic — fomenting global nuclear war being another option they appear to be pursuing.” – Ben Bartee

BLINKEN Running The War Machine & The Pandemic Machine – “There are currently TEN pharma companies working on a bird flu vax; Moderna, Pfizer, CureVac, GSK, Arcturus, Gylden, Merck, Sanofi, Zoetis, and CSL Seqirus.

Trump Versus Reality, Part Two – “All eyes are on Trump and team, and that’s the problem. Trump promises to Make America Great Again. Effective as that slogan has been, that’s all it is, an advertising bromide. Nations and other collectives are never great; once in a great while individuals are. Some of the measures being bandied about scream: Be careful what you wish for!” – Robert Gore  – GOOD ONE FROM ROBERT,. READ PART 1 FIRST. IT WAS LINKED ON WEDNESDAY!!!!

Is Reality Gaining a Foothold on Putin’s Thinking? – “Again, I believe the world should respect Putin’s restraint in the face of extraordinary provocations. He is opposed to war, and accepts insults and provocations in his efforts to avoid wider war. The question remains: Are Putin’s efforts to avoid war overdone and do they send the wrong message and bring war upon us? Putin should give this question careful thought.” – Paul Craig Roberts

The Grift is In – “Musk is a grifter. He is a billionaire chiefly on account of the inflow of billions of dollars’ worth of “carbon credits” that other car companies were placed in the position of having to purchase from him in order to get credit for not manufacturing devices (electric cars) which the federal government effectively required them to manufacture, via regulations requiring the manufacture of (cough) “zero emissions” devices. Only electric vehicles qualify. This is what Musk’s EV grift has bought. It is arguably why the cost of the average new car is up $15,000 over the past four years to a record high of nearly $50,000. It is arguably why the cost of car insurance has increased ballistically, too. Even if you didn’t buy a device, the costs incurred by devices are being offloaded on everyone.” – Eric Peters  – NEVER HAVE BEEN A BIG MUSK FAN. HE SEEMS TO HAVE TRUMP BAMBOOZLED AS WELL!!!

White House Aides Finally Reveal Who Really Ran The Country As Biden Slid Into Mental Incompetence – “Biden, who was often prone to gaffes and having an unsteady gait, was typically trailed by aides, Annie Tomasini and Ashley Williams, while participating in events, according to the WSJ. Those aides tried to stay within ear shot or eye distance of the president over the years, often giving him “basic instructions” like when to leave and exit the stage in an event, the outlet reported. The White House denied this account to the outlet.” – Reagan Reese

Oregon and secession – “When 80% of your counties want to secede, it is only a question of time before they secede. The Greater Idaho movement has risen out of the frustration and proven belief that Eastern Oregon has no representation in the State Capitol in Salem. Instead of following the founders’ wisdom with one chamber population-weighted and the other numerically weighted, Oregon has a system with both chambers population-weighted, thus biasing the government to empower urban areas like Portland to override everything the rural counties want.” – John Woods

Chauvin is attempting to prove the theory that Floyd’s death was not related to the restraint that Chauvin applied to Floyd in Minnesota in May 2020.” – Zachary Stieber

His statement might be illegal, at any rate it is very likely fascist and certainly it is beyond the pale for an American to voice an opinion about German politics. Germans absolutely never, ever, utter the slightest word about American politics and certainly would never advance negative opinions about the American president in the middle of an election campaign” – eugyppius

Media Begins To Report That Bird Flu Luck Has Run Out – “The mainstream media has started reporting that the bird flu “luck” has “run out” for the United States. It says that it was only a matter of time before this virus made someone “severely” sick and caused emergency declarations. And yet, most Americans still haven’t even experienced bird flu other than watching the cost of eggs skyrocket. It’s a lot like COVID-19 in that regard. No on noticed anything wrong until the mainstream media made sure that people took notice. Now that the media is making sure the public knows of the bird flu and its “severity”, they can work on ginning up the fear the same way that was done with COVID.” – Mac Slavo

Yet Another Christmas Carol – ““Joe Biden” was a mere babe in pram when old Adolf bid farewell to his smoldering Reich. But, eight decades later, after being jammed into the Oval Office by his chauffeur, one Barack Obama, the grasping, scraping, flinty, clutching, covetous old bird, sometimes known as “the Big Guy,” from whom no match had ever struck the fire of an original idea, or a good idea, or even a sound, workable idea, shuffled to his bed-chamber in the lonely compartment known as the White House “residence” on Christmas eve. “Humbug!” he maundered to himself as he struggled aboard the cold presidential bed, absent lately of the doctor who once claimed to be his wedded wife. “Humbug,” he mumbled as he fell off into a cruel, blank slumber. He awakened — he knew not how many minutes longer — to a snorting noise, And then resolved out of a mist the very figure of Hitler, his once-smart, gray Führeruniform tattered and threadbare, “What do you want of me?” Scrooge cried, but this ghost of Hitler only wailed again and beckoned with gnarled finger. Suddenly, “Joe Biden” seemed to be flying out in the night air across a great swamp, and then north over the Beltway, to Scranton, Pennsylvania. “Joey” loved playing Hitler: ““You were so good at it!” the ghost wailed. “What happened to you?” “I wish I knew. Everything’s a blur now. But tell me, spirit: was I a good you?” “One of the best!” the ghost of Hitler moaned and dissolved into vapor. – James Howard Kunstler  – GOOD ONE AGAIN FROM MR KUNSTLER.

The early November detention of Asif Rahman, a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officer, indicted in a federal national security court in the Eastern District of Virginia on two counts of “willful retention and transmission of national defense information under the Espionage Act,” was largely downplayed in the national media.” – Philip Giraldi

Forget the Wuhan “lab leak”; what about the ELEPHANT TRANQUILIZER? – “Carfentanil is 100 times more potent than fentanyl. So a lethal dose is less than the size of one grain of salt. If Russia were making it and shipping it to the US, the President and the Congress and the New York Times would call it an act of war.” – Jon Rappoport

The CR That Wasn’t – “Interesting few days in congress and actually a good class on government corruption. The ugly sausage-making of the system is completely exposed by these shenanigans. Trying to back the people into a corner, the resident GOP/POS Speaker Mike Johnson attempted to dump a 1,547 page “continuing resolution” (CR) which should contain a few lines of text stating simply that current funding will be extended for a specific period of time. Instead it included a pay raise for Congress, funding of a key part of the government censorship of the people and a defense for the January 6 committee from investigation. The leadership of the House: Johnson, Scalise, et al praised it as a tough but fair bill. It wasn’t, it was pork. ” – T.L. Davis

British media gloating betrays masterminds behind Kirillov’s killing – “The reveling by the British news media over the assassination of a top Russian general in Moscow is revealing in several ways. First of all, it is a sickening display of wretched so-called journalism. The celebratory tone in British media outlets at the sight of Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov’s bloodied corpse lying in the snow speaks volumes of a despicable lack of respect. It says something about the depraved depth of British culture. By comparison, the reporting of the assassination by American media outlets was relatively mundane and matter-of-fact.” – Finian Cunningham

After Hunter, How About Pardoning the Gun Owners Biden Criminalized? – “If Americans needed another reason to distrust the Left, Biden’s blatant hypocrisy in pardoning his son Hunter, alongside his disregard for justice and abuse of power, more than fits the bill. Unsurprisingly, Biden attempted to rationalize his decision by pointing fingers at the prosecution, saying it was “unfair and selective.” Regardless of his reasons, every American now facing legal prosecution due to unconstitutional firearm policies deserves the same treatment as Hunter.” – Bronson Winslow

IMPORTANT UPDATES: FROM HERE… EXPECT A RAPID ECONOMIC DECLINE AND MUCH HIGHER PRICES (VIDEO) – Gregory Mannarino

Why Tax When They Can Just Print? – “Whether the government taxes or inflates, the common thread it destroys much more than it takes. Toss in the stupid crap it blew the money on — I mentioned in a previous video how a dollar in bureaucrat salary destroys $158 in production. It adds up fast. If the federal government’s going to print money the proceeds should go to the people. But, ideally, it prints nothing, backs the dollar with hard assets, and taxes as close to nothing as possible.” – Peter St Onge

Are China’s Big Gold Purchases for Protection Against the Dollar—Or to Attack It? – “China is engaging in huge gold purchases for multiple reasons. After taking a six-month break from an 18-month gold-buying spree, the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) resumed its policy of large gold purchases in November.” – James Gorrie

Gold and silver in sell-off – “Strong dollar and rising UST yields are destabilising GBP, EUR, JPY, and their bond markets. These are the precursor of a global debt crisis — the ideal setup for higher gold prices next year. Gold and silver declined further this week, after Jay Powell’s comments having cut the Fed Funds rate by ¼% to 4.25%—4.50% range. ” – Alasdair Macleod

Watch The Year-End Silver Price – “I know, I know. There are only two weeks remaining in 2024 and you’ve got the holiday season on your mind. Me too. However, as the year draws to a close, be sure to keep an eye on the silver price, because where it finishes 2024 may have a significant impact on where it heads in 2025.” – Craig Hemke

US discount retailer begins epic ‘going out of business’ sales as it prepares to close all locations – “Big Lots is beginning ‘going out of business’ sales at all its stores across the US, as it prepares to close its remaining locations.In a press release Thursday, the company said it would begin the sales at its 963 remaining locations, after a sale to a private equity firm fell through. By mid-December, 49 retailers had filed for bankruptcy, compared to just 25 in 2023, according to the latest data from Coresight. In the week ending December 13, 129 stores closed across the country, including 41 Family Dollar locations, 20 Dollar Generals and eight Dollar Trees. Family Dollar, which operates under the Dollar Tree brand, has closed the most stores in the last couple of years, shuttering 718 locations since the start of 2023.” – Tilly Armstrong

5 Keys for Adjusting to Living in Rural Areas After an Economic Crash – “It’s difficult to say if long-standing problems in the US economy can be quickly fixed via deregulation, cutting taxes, and various attempts to lure businesses to be more productive and competitive. In the meantime, individuals must still figure out ways to survive in these times of quasi-economic crash. Until the population of rural areas increases to a level that isn’t sustainable, relocating from urban to rural may be a good idea. Here are 5 keys to making a successful transition from urban to rural living.” – Fred Tyrell

California Declares Bird Flu State of Emergency – “California Governor Gavin Newsom today proclaimed a State of Emergency in response to H5N1 avian influenza “bird flu,” following dozens of reports from this website warning readers of a potentially incoming, orchestrated H5N1 avian influenza pandemic. Governor Newsom made the emergency declaration “despite no person-to-person spread of Bird Flu has been detected in California and nearly all infected individuals had exposure to infected cattle.”” – Jon Fleetwood  – I THINK WE KNEW THIS WAS COMING!!!

Busybody TV Doctor Wants to Inspect, Control What Supplements You Can Take – “The point being: actual practicing doctors — much less actors portraying themselves as doctors on television for money and fame — know next to nothing in reality about nutrition or supplementation. They receive, notoriously, on average, less than twenty hours of nutrition training total in their four years at medical school. So when this telegenic, suave asshole pretending to be a concerned doctor — very probably on some industry front group payroll —suggests on corporate state media that Americans “bring your supplements to your doctor’s appointment” so he/she/zhe can inspect them for approval because the highly trustworthy FDA with multifaceted perverse incentives is alleging they are tainted, I’ll take a hard pass, and you should too.” – Ben Bartee –  BE SURE TO WATCH THE VIDEO!!!

GM High Yield Potatoes are Now “Climate Change Resistant”? – “”A new twist in European Genetically Modified Food politics? So why describe high yield potatoes as “climate resistant”? A 40% jump in yield seems an incredibly valuable achievement in its own right. In Britain, Europe and Australia, GM food has been subject to a relentless multi-decade fear campaign. GM food is characterised as “Frankenfood”, But many of the same British and European people who distrust government and big tech assurances about the safety of GM food paradoxically trust government claims that we are in the midst of a climate crisis.” – Eric Worrall

Congressional Immunity – “Guess what’s hidden in the new funding bill? Just a quick one here as this is so outlandish it requires little explanation or exposition. As most know, the house just dropped a 1,500 page short term funding bill, business as usual for the DC swamp dwellers. As many suspected, it’s full of pork. It’s also full of nightmares. Chief among them is the “congress critter full immunity act,” a set of new self-bestowed privileges so egregious as to beggar belief and constitutional compliance alike. It is the very definition of “above the law.”” – El Gato Malo

Who is the world’s most dangerous terrorist organization – “Look no further than the grand accuser and the one who sits high and mighty in judgment of others. Earlier this week, Ukraine openly boasted of assassinating a top Russian general outside his home in Moscow. Western politicians and media love to characterize Putin as a dictator of the worst sort, a “KGB thug.” I hear a lot of conservative pundits using this same language and I find it laughable in its hypocrisy.

Kathy Hochul beefed up the number of New York National Guard members patrolling NYC subway stations, marking the largest military presence in the city’s subway system since the aftermath of 9/11. This heightened security measure coincides with mounting public hysteria over unidentified drones in NJ-NY airspace and the rising threat of terrorism.” – Tytler Durden

Rupnow used a handgun and apparently died of a self-inflicted wound. Feminists rejoice! You’ve come a long way, baby! Nearing equality! You told us! You said women were no different than men. What a great day for equal opportunities equal outcomes! Equity! Doesn’t the fact that these kinds of shootings are now increasingly perpetrated by females essentially prove there are no substantive or consistent differences among the sexes?”- Eric Utter – NOTICE HOW THIS ONE IS PRETTY MUCH OUT OF THE NEWS ALREADY.

This is why we can’t have nice things – “China is not our friend. We all know this. I’m not breaking news here. China doesn’t like us and sees us as a rival on the world stage. They want to be a superpower and we’re in the way. That’s why I’m worried about how much trade we have with them. In and of itself, it’s not an issue, but the truth is that we’re dependent on them in ways that are never going to be good for national security. Recently, they decided to throttle the flow of some important minerals to US firms. In so doing, though, they illustrated something they didn’t mean to. They showed us just how much our government is willing to threaten our national security.” – Tom Knighton

THE BIG PICTURE

The big story of 2024 that NOBODY is talking about – “Most people will say something international. The war in Ukraine, the atrocities in Gaza, the fall of Assad. Maybe some will cite elections, it was a big year for voting after all. A global shift-change in the corridors of power saw a dozen governments swapped out for new faces, with 2 weeks of the year left it’s still possible Trudeau, Macron or Scholz may join the procession. The tech minded might talk about advancements in Artificial Intelligence. No, the important story of 2024 was The Great Reset. Remember that? It’s still happening. It’s just distributed now. A compartmentalized strategy uploaded to the cloud, everywhere and nowhere. A million nanobots working a million angles to change a million tiny rules and build a million tiny cells. Like the end of The Usual Suspects, stand the right distance back and you can see the pattern.” – Kit Knightly

Russia’s Highest-Ranking Nuclear and Biodefense General Assassinated for Exposing US Biowarfare Programs – “The Russian Military Chief who cited my work as part of a global operation to shut down the US/WHO biowarfare program and remove mRNA injections from around the globe was just assassinated.” – Karen Kingston

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Betrays Entire “Health Freedom” Movement for Personal Gain – “Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. was invited to a dinner party with President-elect Donald Trump last week, where he met with executives from Big Pharma, including Robert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, who made $billions under Trump’s first term, by securing from Trump an FDA emergency-use authorization for the first COVID-19 injections for the U.S., along with exclusive distributor rights in Israel for Pfizer’s deadly COVID-19 “vaccine.” Also attending the dinner at Trump’s residence in Florida was his Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, who is also a lobbyist for Pfizer.

NEWS

Trump Versus Reality, Part One – “It would be charitable, but woefully incorrect, to say the entire American establishment has learned nothing from Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya and a host of smaller invasions. Endless war is a feature, not a bug of U.S. policy. Its tragic consequences are never visited upon those who promote and profit from it. Millions of lives have been disrupted and destroyed. At home, the consequences are borne by the wounded and dead, their families and friends, and the tax and debt enslaved who foot the bill. Noxious Joe leaves Trump with the premixed ingredients of World War III and he’s heated the oven.” – Robert Gore

Pardon my Biden: Drones Over America 2.0 – “Waiting for the punchline. Joe Biden’s presidency should be treated as some kind of practical joke played on the American people. Joe Biden has some remarkable personal baggage. I mean, what other national figure has ever been caught even one time, on videotape, touching little girls inappropriately? Lustfully sniffing their hair? Whispering sweet nothings in their ears? Rubbing their undeveloped chests? There is so much not to love about the Biden presidency. The continuous blame being placed on White people, who still cling to a precarious majority of the population. What does it say about your society when a White leader issues blanket condemnations of the largest demographic group in the country? Who are no Whiter than he is.And while Biden ruminates, or rather someone ruminates for him, over other unworthy people that he can pardon, the skies of New Jersey are suddenly filled with drones. ” – Donald Jeffries

CONGRESSIONAL BLUBBER: A Testament Of A Black Hole – “Do Congressional Members get Brownie Points for the number of Bills they write? It takes roughly 200 days to pass a bill in Congress. Yet, despite Congress on sabbatical until January sometime, Democrats keep writing more Bills knowing that a Trump Presidency will never pass them. What’s the point? Unless they get a hidden spiff? There are currently 19,047 Bills put before Congress that have yet to be passed or tossed. The average passage rate is roughly 7%. There are 26 Bills currently in limbo before a vacant Congress. All 26 were written yesterday. Some of the Bills are literally insane:’ – Helena Glass  – ONE SHOULD REALLY BE ASKING WHY WE NEED ALL THESE BILLS IN THE FIRST PLACE. TOO MUCH GOVERNMENT TELLING US WHAT WE CAN AND CAN’T DO!!!

Another Load of Nonsense From CONgress – “There is a reason the first three letters are “CON” you know. Speaker Johnson said just three months ago there would be no Christmas omnibus/CR bill. That they’d extend through the election break to get the work done and pass the actual appropriations bills. That didn’t happen, and rather than enforce the appropriate penalty (shut it down until Congress passes said bills) he is now going to once again do what he said he never would. This, on the back of record deficit months for both October and November, which at present run rates would roughly triple the annual deficit from last year.” – Karl Denninger – DID YOU REALLY THINK THEY WOULD CUT BACK. AND OF COURSE THEY WANT TO GIVE THEMSELVES A RAISE. WHO ELSE HAS A JOB WHERE THEY CAN GIVE THEMSELVES A RAISE AT SOMEONE ELSE’S EXPENSE AND FOR DOING NOTHING. TIME FOR EVERYONE TO STAND UP TO THIS “BS”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Destruction of the Government’s Credibility – “Right now, swarms of drones on the eastern seaboard are captivating Americans each night. What is most interesting about this event (barring the emergence of little green men from the aerial vehicles before this essay’s publication) is the public’s general disregard for the federal government’s “official” explanation. Meanwhile, millions of Americans who have either witnessed the drones firsthand or watched recordings of their flights online are spurning the government’s response as horse manure–laden propaganda. Who can blame them? Something’s going on. ‘ – J.B. Shurk

France: Mentally Disabled 25-Year-Old Raped by Migrant in Mall Bathroom, Security Guard Prosecuted For Leaking Video – “With story after story, year after year, buttressed by the crime data — in the progressively fewer countries and localities where it’s still legal and required for the police to collect and report migrant crime data — the inescapable conclusion is that raping handicapped people in public toilets is simply par the course in many countries on Earth. Mall bathroom rapes weren’t, obviously for anyone who grew up in the West in the before-times, standard practice until very recently, which just happens to coincide with an influx of Third World migrants imported by the loving and liberal governing authorities to culturally enrich the bigoted natives. How many more Diversity™ rape-sprees will France — or Germany, or the United States — be treated to?” – Ben Bartee

A new geo-political map is unfolding – The end of Syria (and of “Palestine” for now) – “Syria has entered the abyss – the demons of al-Qa’eda, ISIS, and the most intransigent elements of the Muslim Brotherhood are circling the skies. There is chaos, looting, fear, and a terrible passion for revenge scalds the blood. Street executions are rife. The Israelis – within days – totally eviscerated the defence infrastructure of the state in more than 450 air strikes: missile air defences, Syrian air force helicopters and aircraft, the navy and the armouries – all destroyed in the “largest air operation in Israel’s history”. Syria no longer exists as a geo-political entity. In the east,” – Alastair Crooke

Macron and Rutte, the most dangerous European lackeys – “President-elect Donald Trump seems willing to find a peaceful resolution to the three-year war in Ukraine. The horrible irony, however, is that the conflict may be entering its most dangerous phase with only weeks before Trump moves into the White House. The danger is heightened because of European lackeys. Tragically, it is weak and unscrupulous European politicians bending over backward to please Trump, who could ignite the proxy war against Russia into a full-blown conflagration.” – Finian Cunningham

Russian general assassinated in front of his home; Moscow vows to avenge death of officer who blew the whistle on U.S. biolabs operating in Ukraine – “Ukraine claims credit for targeted assassination of Lt.

Price Controls: 4,000 Years of Failure – “Fortunately, today we have the advantage of not just history but the science of economics to show us that price controls don’t work. Basic economics teaches that prices are important market signals. High prices might be an aggravation for consumers, but they signal to producers the opportunity for profit, which leads to more production and investment. They also signal to consumers that the good is scarce, which encourages people to use less of it.” -Jon Miltimore

Trade Wars Accelerate – “During Donald Trump’s first term, U.S. tariffs on China increased from 3% in 2016 to 19% by the end of 2020.

Trump, the Final Downfall of this Country, and the Mass Slavery to Follow – “Why do the vast majority of people seek a master and rule? Why do so many bow to false authority? Why does the bulk of society acquiesce to the desires of the very few who seek power? Why do so many choose to be a part of the maddening crowd of controlled ignoramuses? Why is mass acceptance and obedience to the lowest form of human, the politician, so prevalent? Why is the most heinous structure of a domineering government accepted as legitimate? Why is Trump, a pathological liar, cheat, thief, protectionist, Zionist lapdog, control freak, braggart, narcissist, psychopath, and power-hungry murderer, worshipped by his many supporters as their king, savior and ‘god’?” – Gary D.

Winter is coming – “As the madness of “Net Zero” accelerates, time has already run out for many of our most vulnerable citizens. Overall, cold kills around 17 times more people worldwide than does heat. Perhaps more unexpectedly, one in 15 deaths from all causes were attributable to cold. Only one death in 250 was attributable to heat. HERE IN THE UK, we are spending trillions of pounds on the reckless and futile attempt to replace our affordable, abundant, and above all reliable energy system with an unaffordable, rationed, blackout-prone system driven occasionally by breezes and sunbeams.” – Richard Lyon

A Gift America Can’t Return: The Police State Is America’s New Crime Boss – “The American police state has become America’s new crime boss. Thirty years after then-President Bill Clinton signed the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act into law, its legacy of mass incarceration, police militarization, and over-criminalization continues to haunt us. It has become the gift that America can’t seem to return. We are now suffering the blowback from the triple threats of the Crime Bill: police militarization, a warrior mindset that has police viewing the rest of the citizenry as enemy combatants, and law enforcement training that teaches cops to shoot first and ask questions later.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

President Biden and Others Renew Calls for Gun Control After Wisconsin Shooting – “The shooting at the Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin, immediately prompted renewed calls for gun control from President Joe Biden and others. As I have previously written, these calls often appear entirely disconnected from the actual crime or the constitutional protections afforded gun owners, including President Biden demanding a ban on assault weapons after a shooting with a handgun. President Biden’s call for greater background checks and enforcement was a bit incongruous after he pardoned his own son on gun charges. More importantly, the Wisconsin case only highlighted why these standard demands for gun control would not have impacted that case.” – Jonathan Turley

Kamala campaigned for Newsom as he faced recall. Newsom loudly endorsed Kamala for president. They have always been the Bobbsey Twins of California politics. ” – Monica Showalter

Biden Commuted Sentences for Scammers Who Defrauded $5 billion From Over 1 Million Victims – “How absolutely fitting that the demented diaper soiling ice cream licking pedo criminal puppet “president” who in his lifetime accomplished less than zero in the private sector and only ever grifted off the taxpayer dime while extracting bribes as “the big guy” would end up on his way out of office pardoning some of the worst white collar Ponzi schemers in American history.” – 2nd Smartest Guy in the World

Borders, schmorders. Sovereign nations, mmmmeh! It’s all happening, folks.” – Barnhardt  – HAVEN’T SEEN WHERE THIS HAS BEEN DENIED!

OIL & GOLD: The Middle East and South American Grand Theft – “Like Palestine, Iraq was declared a mandatory colony of the British Empire post WWI. Iraq was given independence in 1932 under the auspices of the Kingdom of Iraq – under Hashemite Rule. In WWII, The Kingdom of Iraq was used as an air base by the US against the Syria Mandate which was under French rule. In 1941, the UK and the Soviet Bolsheviks attacked Iraq under Operation Countenance and took control. The purpose was to ‘secure their oil field’ while simultaneously installing the Shah, Reza Pahlavi, as the Western proxy ruler of Iran. In other words, the Middle East has never been the Middle East, it has always been a Mandated Colony of the West since the fall of the Ottoman Empire. Israel wanted the entire Middle East be given to them after the Ottoman fall. The EU was not so willing.” – Helena Glass

All Three Pillars Holding Up the Economy Have Cracked – “If we say the three pillars holding up the economy, the conventional list is: 1) consumer spending (i.e. aggregate demand); 2) productivity and 3) corporate profits.

Demand At Food Banks Has Soared To Record Levels All Over The United States – “The media keeps insisting that economic conditions are just fine, but it has become quite obvious to everyone that this is not true.

But now food banks are serving large numbers of people that actually do have jobs but that don’t make enough to pay for all of the basics.” – Michael Snyder

Maintaining Sanitary Living Conditions – “Times of epidemic and disease often follow disasters. This is, in part, due to the increase in rats, flies and other disease carrying critters.

Rather, they had already leaned the lesson of how important cleanliness was to health.” – Bill White
