Nothing New Under The Sun 2016

Luke 1:32-34 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?

THE BIG PICTURE

A Perfectly Ordinary Woman. An Extraordinary Calling – “Who was Mary? Other than that she was the mother of Jesus, we really do not know. We do not know her hopes or her dreams. We do not know whether her life was easy or hard. We do not know what, aside from being the mother of Jesus, would have made her noteworthy or extraordinary. We could easily infer from the lack of detail about her that Mary was in most regards a perfectly ordinary young woman of her time. Yet this perfectly ordinary young woman—this seemingly nondescript girl living in the relatively nondescript town of Nazareth—somehow was special enough to find favor with God.” – Peter Nayland Kust

As All Else Fails: PSYOP-UFO – “…when PSYOP-SCAMDEMIC, PSYOP-WW3 and PSYOP-CLIMATE-CHANGE all fail to sufficiently induce mass societal fear, then the final NWO globopedo fraud will be activated in PSYOP-UFO, thus ensuring that the government can yet again provide the “solution” (think: “free” “vaccines”) to the “problem” they are themselves perpetrating as the public overreacts, or so that is the hope for these technocratic Great Reset sociopaths.” – 2nd Smartest Guy in the World

Americans are blaming corporate employees instead of corporate owners. – Eric Zuesse

In America, Health Care Is Wealth Care – “Private health insurers make money denying care–not providing it. It’s to make money for shareholders—and for the senior executives in the industry. So their profit-driven approach to claims is the now infamous “deny, delay, depose (or defend)” strategy. As often as possible, they seek to deny claims outright, forcing sick and desperate people to fight an incomprehensible bureaucracy shrouded in fine-print legalese. Or they seek to delay payment on claims. Or they take Americans to court (“defend and depose”), forcing people to hire lawyers (quite expensive) while aiming for the quickest and cheapest settlement. For the insurers, this strategy makes all the sense in the world. They are in this business to maximize profits and earnings, not to provide generous health care benefits.” – Bill Astore

THE BIG PICTURE

Big Pharma’s “License to Kill” – “Over the past 50 years, the leading pharmaceutical companies in the United States have caused the injuries and deaths of millions of Americans.

FBI, White House find no evidence of security threat in New Jersey drone sightings – “The White House, FBI and Homeland Security said on Thursday they had no evidence that drone sightings reported in New Jersey posed national security or safety threats, despite concerns raised by lawmakers. The FBI and DHS in a joint statement said “it appears that many of the reported sightings are actually manned aircraft, operating lawfully. ” – Andrea Shalal and Ryan Jones– DRONES, BACK IN THE DAY THEY CALLED THEM UFOS.

The Great Drone Scam – “The MSM floods their newscasts with reports of drone-terrified citizens ready to head for the hills over the latest media-induced scare. The word “drones” is now synonymous with “doom.” This is simply a media-driven scam. One man now claims 50 drones came from the Atlantic and chased him. He got his time on TV and didn’t even have to pay Oprah $2.5 mil. I wonder if he has also seen Sasquatch. There are two types of media-hyped drones. The first are the small ones. But what about the big drones? Some are described as bigger than a bus, and they even make a lot of noise. The huge ones are called “airliners.”” – Ed Sherdlu

Canadian mayor fined for LGBT thought crime of refusing to bend over – “Refusing to display the rainbow flag for Pride Month has cost the town and its head a combined $15,000 in penalties. Uh oh, here’s comes the forbidden-thinking patrol! The tribunal ruled that the mayor’s comment was “dismissive of Borderland Pride’s flag request and demonstrated a lack of understanding of the importance to Borderland Pride and other members of the LGBTQ2 community of the Pride flag” and constitutes discrimination. Suddenly, because of the mayor’s pro-heterosexual comments, it must mean that he hates gays. “I don’t hate anybody,” he said. “We just don’t have a flagpole at our town hall,” McQuaker recently told the Toronto Sun. But cognitive deviance is cognitive deviance, and like a colon polyp, best to nip it in the bud so there’s zero risk of it ever potentially developing into systemic cancer. So here come the experts to tell the tribunal about how malignant this mayor’s thinking already is.” – Rachel Marsden

Syria Falls: Actually, This Was Just a Long-term Plot Meant to Vastly Expand the Territory of Zionist Israel – “Hopefully, at least in time, most all will see through the lies, deceit, corruption, and brutal slaughter of innocents by Zionist Israel, and see that there is but one goal sought. That goal is mass expansion, and an aggressive and brutal taking of all the land and property within what Zionists refer to as “Greater Israel.” There is no longer any doubt, (as if there should have ever been) that Israel is a completely unconscionable murderous band of evil monsters. Yes, I do realize that there are some Israelis who do not fit into this description, but this is relegated to only the very few.” – Gary D. Barnett

With the gold price steadily hovering around $2,600 to $2,700 per troy ounce, that is a large chunk of change for most beginner investors even to fathom getting started with.

How did American Healthcare get so Bad? – “How did American healthcare get so bad? Why do we tolerate a system where you risk bankruptcy for a hip replacement? Compared to socialized medicine, on almost any metric the US has one of the best medical systems in the world — doctors per capita, hospital bed capacity, waiting times, surgical outcomes, access to specialists. I’m not saying it’s great — tens of thousands die from medical mistakes, for example. But almost everybody else is worse, including Canadians who drive to the US to pay out-of-pocket instead of waiting 6 months for a hip replacement. The problem is all this comes with nosebleed prices and a funding system that is corrupt, mind-boggling complicated, and often outright predatory, over-treating — and over-charging — patients.” – Peter St Onge

Modified Limited Hang-out – “Do you detect the conspicuous lack of conviction in DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report on the Jan 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol building, which has been the central device for defeating the populist revolt against the treasonous DC blob? And did you notice that it took him four years to report on the event? Weird, a little bit, ya think? I’ll tell you why: because when investigators genuinely interested in the truth come on the scene, soon to happen, a very different story will be revealed. The Horowitz report is a last ditch attempt, at the very last moment, to get ahead of that true story — which is that the FBI and its parent, the DOJ, have been lawlessly and in bad faith acting against their oaths to defend constitutional government.” – James Howard Kunstler

How’s Trump Doing? – “Other than Tulsi, RFK, and Elon, Trump seems to be exercising the same bad character judgment he displayed in his 1st term. And this time—it might prove to be lethal. Consider 3 nominees for cabinet positions of power—with responsibility for maintaining peace or taking us into war: Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, and the Director of National Intelligence. Who are the nominees and what do they bring w/them? These 3 cabinet posts are tasked with presenting/informing the president, of consequences for acting/not acting in a given situation. Are Trump’s nominees capable? Trump’s nominee for Sec/State is Marco Rubio, known for his hawkish positions on China, Cuba, Iran, and Venezuela. Of the 3 nominees, Rubio has a base of support. Sadly, because Rubio is an alleged neocon/warmonger, he has support of both parties. The man Rubio replaces, Blinkin, hasn’t spoken to his Russian counterpart, Lavrov, for 2 years. Instead, he whips-up war fever against Russia or whomever Bibi points to. ” – neverhadaboss.com

The real reason for open borders – “I understand why people want to immigrate to the United States. But it wasn’t that long ago when we started hearing about young kids crossing the border with people who weren’t parents. This was alarming, but we were told it was nothing. For years now, the southern border has been left wide open despite this concern. If I were to literally smuggle in children in order to put them to work in a factory, I’d be called a monster. And I would be. But how many people actually view illegal immigrants as nothing more than a cheap source of labor?” – Tom Knighton

Biden Races To Sell Off Border Wall Parts Before Trump Takes Office – “The Biden administration is using its final weeks to haul a massive amount of border wall materials away from the southern border to be sold off in a government auction, an apparent effort to hinder President-elect Donald Trump’s effort to secure the border, The Daily Wire has learned. Trump made clear during his campaign that he intends to finish construction of the border wall, making use of the materials that have remained untouched at the border since President Joe Biden took office in 2021.” – James Lalino – SOUNDS LIKE TREASONOUS ACTIVITES TO ME!!!!

Holiday Display Outside State Capitol Included a Satanic Statue — It Didn’t Last Long – “If your civil institutions require equal time for Jesus Christ and Satan, then your civil institutions have gone astray. Fortunately, it would take only a basic understanding of history, not to mention a semblance of a spine, for civil servants to recognize that American institutions require no such accommodation of evil. According to WMUR-TV in Manchester, New Hampshire, a Satanic Temple “holiday” display at the State House in Concord suffered damage shortly after its erection on Saturday, thereby proving that the unidentified vandal has a better historical understanding and much stronger spine than the government officials who permitted or even encouraged the display in the first place.” – Trent Walker – THOUGHT AT FIRST THIS MIGHT BE ABOUT ILLINOIS, “PRICKSTER’S” STATE AND CAPITOL IS KIND OF NOTED FOR IT’S SATANIC CHRISTMAS DISPLAYS!!!

Government Waste Is So Much Worse Than You Ever Imagined – “From sexy goldfish to AI toilets, federal bureaucrats have spent staggering quantities of our money on truly insane projects. It’s not only misguided and wasteful – it’s a direct drain on our financial security. Here’s how much it’s costing you… ” – Peter Reagan

Nuts and Bolts of Federal Censorship – “The enormity of the forces brought against free speech cannot be understood simply by looking at any individual organization, like Facebook, because it’s a web of deceit incorporated by tax dollars to inhibit free speech on a global scale, but primarily against the Western nations who largely have free speech, rather than against truly authoritarian societies that don’t need it, they do that as a matter of practice. Part of the purpose of this Substack is to render their attempts at censorship ineffectual. Most of the censorship is in play on social media platforms, but it doesn’t reach into sites such as this. I’m not saying that it can’t,” – T.L. Davis

U.S. Launches Third Proxy War, This Time In Syria – “Here we go again: The War Party in Washington, D.C., has launched its third proxy war against Russia and Iran, this time in Syria. Mind you, this invasion has been in the planning stages for months—or even years. The invasion itself was conducted by a fanatical jihadist Sunni terrorist group that is a splinter organization of ISIS, ISIL and al-Nusra called Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). Previous to this Western-led invasion on Syria, HTS was categorized by the United States as one of the top ten terrorist groups in the world. Of course, the Islamic terror militias ISIS, ISIL and al-Nusra were initially created, equipped and trained by America’s CIA, Israel’s Mossad and Turkish intelligence. ” – Chuck Baldwin

13 Reckonings for America – “Many politicians speak of free markets when they think it will help them get votes. But the body of work over the last 100 years is that big government is always the chosen solution. President-elect Trumps, for his part, promotes policies that will do both. He wants to slash regulations and cut spending. But he also wants to preserve Social Security, boost defense spending, and place significant trade tariffs on foreign imports.

This could lead to a realisation of the Dead Internet Theory and was a concern Brandon Smith raised in a recent article as one of the consequences of artificial intelligence (“AI”) that most people may not have considered. The Dead Internet Theory posits that the vast majority of online activity has been replaced by AI-generated content, and the theory is gaining traction. This concept suggests that the internet, once a platform created and shaped by humans, has become dominated by automated programs, including bots and AI. Is the Dead Internet Theory already beginning to be realised? It could well be.” – Rhoda Wilson -SEE BRANDON’S ARTICLE LINKED ON 12/07/24!!!!

The Hit on “Big Paul” – “Do you remember “Big Paul” Castellano? He was the head – the Don – of the Gambino crime family in New York City a long time ago. He has shot dead in the street by soldiers working for Sammy “the Bull” Gravano, who was working for John Gotti – who became the “Dapper” Don once “Big Paul” was out of the picture.

The head of the United Health Care mafia, Brian Thompson, was “hit” in the streets, just like Big Paul was all those years ago. Such hits are not be condoned. But United Health Care is a mafia. That isn’t an insult. It’s a statement of fact. All the insurance “families” are mafias. They extort money from people using coercion – did you think Obamacare was voluntary? – and the Captains and Consiglieries and most of all the Dons have become very, very wealthy. Very little “care” issues from these “providers,” as they like to style themselves. They are in the business of collecting – not paying. Insurance is one of the most profitable rackets going, precisely because it is a racket. ” – Eric Peters – PRETTY GOOD ANALOGY FROM ERIC, UNFORTUNATELY!!!!!

Greater Israel Is On The March – “Syria no longer exists. The Russian news service RT reports that Israel has launched the largest attack on Syria in history with Israeli warplanes hitting more than 250 military targets. Israel explains its aggression as self-defense to prevent the weapons from falling into the hands of terrorists. But the terrorists that Israel, Washington, and Turkey employed to overthrow Syria have been turned into “democratic forces that liberated Syria” and whose leader has declared friendship with Israel. The real explanation for Israel’s aggression is that Israel now occupies part of Syria. If you will remember, recently Netanyahu held up a map of Greater Israel and it included Syria.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Russia Dodged A Bullet By Wisely Choosing Not To Ally With The Now-Defeated Resistance Axis – “Putin made the right choice, which was always driven by his rational calculation of what was in Russia’s objective interests as a state, not due to “Zionist influence” like some in the Alt-Media Community now ridiculously claim to defame him after being mad that he didn’t lift a finger to save the Resistance.” – Andrew Korybko

Janet Yellen “Sorry” After Presiding Over $15 Trillion Increase In US Debt – “Something funny happened in late November. Outgoing Treasury Secretary, and former Fed chair and vice chair, Janet Yellen said that she spoke with Donald Trump’s nominee to be her successor, Scott Bessent, after he was selected for the job. “I am concerned about fiscal sustainability and I am sorry that we haven’t made more progress,” she said adding that “I believe that the deficit needs to be brought down especially now that we’re in an environment of higher interest rates.” This is really funny for two reasons. First, it was under Yellen’s watch that the US experienced its biggest debt increase in history.

This is demonstrably false, as the truth–that we’re much poorer than we were 40 or 50 years ago–would disrupt the status quo in which the few at the top get to control the narratives and wealth as long as the masses believe the propaganda that we’re all better off.” – Charles Hugh Smith

Why Gandhi’s Philosophy Deserves a Closer Look in the West – “Gandhi saw the true nature of the state.

Bill Gates Demands Digital ID Requirements for Internet Access – “The Microsoft co-founder argues that many parts of the Internet should be out of bounds to children. Most people would agree with this notion as many corners of the Internet are not child-friendly.

Drugging Cows to Reduce Methane Emissions? Scientists Question Safety, Need – “The latest PSYOP-CLIMATE-CHANGE scam involves adding a highly toxic chemical to cow feed in order to radically alter their microbiome such that they no longer produce methane. But this gas is part of the biogenic carbon cycle that after a dozen or so years breaks down into natural CO2 and water, which is then absorbed by grass via photosynthesis that the cows in turn eat, and so the lifecycle continues; in other words, both methane and CO2 are the gasses of life, which is precisely why they are perpetrating this evil against nature and humanity.” – 2nd Smartest Guy in the World

NEWS

Why are Americans celebrating this vigilante murderer as a freedom fighter? – “Luigi Mangione, the killer of UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson, has been stirring up waves of online – but not at himself. The military industrial complex requires external enemies and an entire national security machinery to actively scare up taxpayer cash for domestic profits. But the medical industrial complex just requires turning a blind eye to the system already in place. Both are equally dysfunctional, but there’s a sense that wars can at least be stopped. Ceasefires and peace treaties can be enacted. The violence grabs headlines. People’s quiet suffering doesn’t. But where does the average person paying more and more for less and less care even turn in their plight? A single violent act has galvanized them online, Arab Spring style, and elevated the typically silent struggles of millions of Americans to front page headlines. ” – Rachel Marsden – GOOD READ FROM RACHEL!!!

Going Postal in the Land of Lunacy – “Criminals, vigilantes, and good Samaritans. On December 4, United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot and killed outside the entrance to the New York Hilton Hotel. Right in the heart of what’s left of New York City. That seems like a lot of symbolism there. At least it didn’t happen on Wall Street. Don’t want to get those Occupy protesters riled up. Will this killing usher in a new era, when disgruntled citizens begin to take out their frustrations on powerful people, who are profiting from massive corruption? Who are insensitive to the needs of financially struggling individuals and families? I would imagine that if a CEO gets murdered, right after laying off thousands of employees, then the next CEO might think twice about doing it. Again, ” – Donald Jeffries

How is it we know more about Luigi Mangione than we do about Thomas Crooks? – “Within hours of his apprehension in Pennsylvania in connection with the cold-blooded murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, scads of information rolled out about the life and times of suspect Luigi Mangione, Even less information is available about a second apparent wannabe-assassin of Trump in Florida a few weeks later, accused gunman Ryan Routh. It’s hard to say with certainly what this is about, but it’s just strange that some information gets out more readily about major events than others. Funny how it’s the information we want most.” – Monica Showalter

This is telling – “Former Marine Daniel Penny was acquitted of all charges stemming from him choking a violent nutjob out, resulting in said nutjob’s death. The jury found that he acted appropriately and now he’s a free man. The charges never should have been filed, but that was never an option in super-progressive New York City. But the legal system works most of the time and Penny walked, as he should have. That’s not surprising, nor that there was a demonstration that allowed many to voice their disappointment with the verdict. What was surprising is what happened at that demonstration. It seems a woman decided to interrupt things and called out the white folks in attendance. Why? Well…you’ll see.” – Tom Knighton

“Terrorist Organization” Means Whatever The US Wants It To Mean – “The US government is simultaneously (A) justifying Israel’s land grab in Syria by saying the nation has been taken over by terrorists, and (B) talking about removing those same forces from its list of designated terrorist organizations. The US podium people have pivoted seamlessly from celebrating the liberation of the Syrian people in the removal of Assad to citing the fact that the nation is now overrun with terrorist factions in defense of Israel’s rapid move to militarily occupy large swathes of Syrian land while hammering Syria with hundreds of airstrikes.” – Caitlin Johnstone

They won’t even tell you why they are closing your account, and you will probably have trouble opening accounts at other banks. De-banking is a disturbing and growing trend.

It’s not a currency.’ He said it’s a highly volatile asset that’s like gold. He said, ‘It’s digital gold.

THE BIG PICTURE

Grey Swans Are Circling – “The lifestyle of a stable New Gilded Age is out of stock. History is either “one damned thing after another”–a chaotic collection of random events–or there are connections between events that are not readily visible.Two recent events invite interpretation: the sudden collapse of Syria’s regime and the assassination of an American CEO in America’s financial capital. These can be viewed as unique one-off events of little future import or they can be viewed as watershed events, harbingers of a future far different than the present. ” – Charles Hugh SAmith

Victory! Federal Court Strikes Down Lax GMO Rules, Halts GE Crop Introductions Without USDA Oversight – “Court Ruling Holds 2020 Regulations Exempting Most GE Crops from Oversight Contradicted the Agency’s Own Prior Conclusions and Are Unsupported by Science.

When Rights Become Privileges: Is the Constitution Becoming Optional? – “Disguising its power grabs in the self-righteous fervor of national security, the Deep State has mastered the art of the bait-and-switch. It works like this: first, the government foments fear about some crisis or threat to national security, then they capitalize on it by seizing greater power and using those powers against the American people. We’ve seen this play out over and over again. The government used its so-called War on Terror to transform itself into a police state. Then the police state used its War on COVID-19 to claim lockdown powers. All indications are that the government’s promised War on Illegal Immigration will be yet another sleight of hand that allows the powers-that-be to engage in greater power grabs while weakening the Constitution. Therein lies the danger of the government’s growing addiction to power.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

The raid occurred at about 4 a.m., catching Manley and his wife and children off guard. “I looked out the window, and I’m literally watching them crawl through my grass,” The agents then broke into the home, throwing a flashbang grenade into the living room where Manley’s wife was drinking coffee.

Hezbollah is definitely weakened, and Israel will be able to slaughter even more Palestinians while attention is focused elsewhere, Nothing has changed in the Ukraine War. The Russians keep advancing. Nothing has changed in the United States. People in Appalachia are showing just how white and privileged they are by freezing in tents because their government is more concerned about the welfare of Syrian rebels, Georgian color revolutionaries, and Israeli genocidal maniacs than that of North Carolinians. Inflation’s still a thing. The rent and the mortgage are still too damned high. Health care and education are still unaffordable. Groceries still cost way too much. Infrastructure still crumbles right alongside faith in established institutions. Yes, the US Empire had a victory overseas, but it did nothing to address the causes of its ongoing decline, ” – Ohio Barbarian – ANOTHER GOOD READ FROM THE BARBARIAN!!!

A Kaleidoscope of Fools – “There is nothing normal about the conversations going on concerning Trump’s cabinet nominations. The Republican vote ought to be a given. Convincing some of the Democrats is supposed to be the play. Despite the kaleidoscope of fools in the Biden Administration, there was nothing like this sort of pushback from the Republicans at the time, though the people ridiculed people like Buttigieg and railed at naming Merrick Garland at the head of the DOJ. The Senate is merely supposed to give its collective advice and then consent. They have taken this to mean that they have some say in the president’s selections, but that’s not the case” – T.L. Davis

Is All Fair in Love and War? Notes on the UnitedHealth CEO Slaying – “Upfront, let’s get the glaring caveat out of the way: none of what follows is in any way an endorsement of extrajudicial killings, both because publicly advocating explicit acts of violence is one of the rare exceptions to First Amendment speech protections and because, in a functional Hobbesian civilization, disputes such as the apparent one between UnitedHealth and the gunman are adjudicated in a court of law rather than in the streets like in Haiti or the Congo. Put simply, health insurance companies are economic leeches that contribute nothing of value to anyone except their shareholders and the executives like Brian Thompson, who was raking in tens of millions of dollars annually before his killing. They provide no service. They treat no patients. They improve no lives — quite the contrary, in fact.” – Ben Bartee – I AGREE WITH BEN’S POINTS ON HEALTHCARE COMPANIES AND THAT DISPUTES SHOULD BE SETTLED JUDICIALLY RATHER THAN ON THE STREETS!!!!

East Vs. West: A Global Dollar Dump Is Inevitable And The US Must Prepare – “In October of 2024, Russia hosted the annual BRICS Summit in the city of Kazan with the intent to show unity among developing nations and general eastern interests. The Kremlin, a target of severe NATO sanctions since the start of the war in Ukraine, has been effective in solidifying economic guarantees from BRICS partners and circumventing western economic controls. Despite being removed from the SWIFT banking network and being cut off from a large percentage of global trade, Russia has continued to garner solid export revenues. We certainly aren’t seeing the total collapse of the Russian economy that so many media “experts” predicted. The reason? Russia is resource rich and in an inflationary environment countries that are heavy in commodities sold at lower prices are always sought after. The BRICS event this year was a reminder that the west’s financial influence is in decline. At that same meeting, Putin called for an alternative international payment system and passed around a mock-up of what he called a BRICS “bank note”. ” – Brandon Smith

While the resumption of PBOC gold buying is an important long-term positive, the other news China announced on Monday might have a bigger impact on price in the short term and into 2025.

Drowning False Heroes – “Swim until you can’t see land. Robert Malone didn’t end up on Substack with a purple checkmark because of his gifts as an original thinker or writer. He was pushed into the spotlight inorganically through a popular podcast hosted by Brett Weinstein, brother of Eric Weinstein, manager of the main equity fund of Pay Pal mafia Billionaire Peter Thiel, founder of Palantir (with extensive ties to DOD and Intelligence agencies) who will soon run the American Empire’s War Department for Israel.Sage Hana has been warning about following these false heroes (“don’t play hero ball”) for two years, including Malone, Weinstein, Robert F.

Twilight of the Race Hustle – “Were you thinking of Daniel Penny this weekend? A year and a half ago, the US marine veteran, age 26, subdued one Jordan Neely, 30, a homeless schizophrenic with a record of 42 arrests who was menacing riders on a New York City subway car. Neely was, at the time, a fugitive on an arrest warrant for felony assault on a sixty-seven-year-old woman. Penny applied a choke hold after Neely declared he was of a mind to kill somebody on the train. Neely was still alive when the cops came, but they declined to give him CPR because he was filthy and an apparent drug-user, and they feared getting AIDS or hepatitis from giving him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. . . so Neely died there in the subway. Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg indicted Penny for manslaughter in the second degree and secondarily for criminally negligent homicide. Everybody knows that the trial is an absurd injustice, but that has been the temper of our society for many years now in the age of the Woke Jacobins. It has been a long game of pretend. At the center of it is the race hustle — a hustle being the attempt to get something for nothing — in this sense, seeking respect and approbation for people engaged in uncivilized behavior. It kicked off in 2012 when one Trayvon Martin. Next up in 2014 was Michael Brown, 18, in Ferguson, Missouri. In May, 2020, George Floyd, 46, a released felon, Floyd died at the scene with 11 ng/mL of fentanyl, 19 ng/mL of methamphetamine, and cannabinoids detected in his blood at autopsy, plus heart disease and hypertension. Officer Chauvin was convicted on several counts of murder and manslaughter ” – James Howard Kunstler

If She Did It – “A very strange story has erupted about Trump’s pick to be the next Dr. Fauci, the mask-and-drug-pusher Dr. Janette Nesheiwat. She apparently killed her father – “accidentally,” you understand – back in 1990 – when she was 13 years old. According to the news reports, she “accidentally shot her father in a freak mishap when she knocked over his tackle box and a loaded .38 caliber fell out.” Now, most “.38 caliber” handguns are revolvers, which adds something interesting to this story. It is very difficult to understand how a revolver could have discharged “accidentally” as result of anything other than pulling the trigger – unless the hammer was cocked. Revolvers are not generally left in tackle boxes or anywhere else with their hammers cocked.” – Eric Peters – GOOD POINT FROM ERIC!!!!!

Person of interest in fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson caught with manifesto, gun and fake ID at McDonald’s – Joe Marino, Ronny Reyes and Matt Troutman

NYPD Identifies ‘Strong Person Of Interest’ In NYC Assassination; NYPD Claims ‘Ghost Gun’ Involved – ” Authorities have identified Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old from Towson, Maryland, as the person of interest in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.” – Tyler Durden

The Real Scandal of Hunter‘s Pardon – “What has not been widely discussed is the fact that Hunter Biden may be the only American President Biden has pardoned for violating unconstitutional federal gun and drug laws. An outrage of Hunter Biden’s pardon is President Biden’s hypocrisy. When he served as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee in the 1990s, then-Senator Biden played a major role in getting through Congress the Brady Law that created the federal gun purchase background check system that Hunter Biden was convicted of violating. Senator Biden also was a leading drug warrior who led the fight to pass the 1994 crime bill and was a champion of mandatory minimums and other infringements of civil liberties in the name of the war on drugs. President Biden also supported hiring more IRS agents to squeeze more money from taxpayers. President Biden should spend his last month in office pardoning more Americans for violations of unconstitutional drug and gun laws. This would serve as a small gesture of atonement for a political career spent advocating policies destructive of peace, prosperity, and liberty.” – Ron Paul

Biden’s Paranoid Pardons and Leftist Morality – “This unprecedented pardon is not aberrant. It is characteristic of the left’s recent contempt for the rule of law. ” – Victor Davis Hanson

Move Over Tom Homan – Hillary Clinton for Border Czar! – “No, I am not crazy. Follow along for some fun. If Tom Homan cannot serve as Trump’s border czar, a previous version of Hillary Clinton could readily do so. Otherwise, Clinton could serve as Homan’s number two, his deputy, assistant, or wingman. It’s ironic that Hillary Clinton, 20 years ago, viewed and spoke about illegal immigration in a way similar to Donald Trump and his future border czar, Tom Homan. How and why did Hillary Clinton shift so far to the left? One reason is that her 2007 stance was likely disingenuous,… “Another reason is Mr. “Fundamental Transformation of America,” who pushed his party from liberal to Marxist, – Brian C. Joondeph

I’m going to explain to you what happened in Syria. – “But if you believed that the rebels, who were held at bay for 14 years suddenly became Delta Force in a week you are too dense to comprehend it so you can stop reading now. The CIA removed Assad the same we removed Saddam and Gadaffi.” – Carmine Sabia on X – THIS GUY HAS A POINT!!!

Syria Falls to ISIS Rebels And The West Celebrates – “Here we are again back to the durge of wars upon wars upon War! Zelenskky gave a fitting Hollywood performance followed by the evil eye snarl as he demanded an audience with Trump to discuss peace only to refuse once again – peace. Syria has fallen and the liberals ‘hail mary’ this as a great accomplishment given ISIS/al Qaeda now control the entirety of the country. And despite a media imposed cease fire, Israel continues to gleefully murder children and women –” – Helena Glass

Assad’s collapse was coming – everyone just looked away – “Starvation, sanctions, and military disintegration broke the former leader’s hold on Syria – but no one was paying attention” – Vitaly Ryumshin

Damascus Falls, Greater Israel Rises – ” This marks a historic turning point for Syria, who’s leadership has either fled or conceded control to the various rebel factions. The generic talking points flood the media. But there are some other – more crucial – issues which are worthy of our attention…The predominant claims made by western commentators since the beginning of this blitz operation have been that this is an American operation to throw out Assad (primarily because he is anti-western) and to increase strain on Russian resources by dragging it into further regional conflicts. This is partially true, but what about the role of Israel? The most ‘invested’ conflict today is not Ukraine vs Russia. It is Israel vs its neighbours. ” – Winston Smith

Trump Isn’t Telling The Whole Truth About Russia & Syria – “At the end of the day, what happened was a disaster and no honest observer can deny that, but they also shouldn’t try to spin it as Russia’s fault like Trump did in his posts.” – Andrew Korybko

THE BIG PICTURE

The Promise: He Is Coming – “For everyone, Christmas is a holiday of hope and anticipation. Yet we should not confine either our hope or our eagerness to the secular realm alone. As the prophet Isaiah reminds us, the Advent season of Christmas is at its core very much a season of spiritual hope, eagerness, and anticipation. Isaiah urges us to prepare as for a grand celebration. Make the road straight, and clear away the clutter. Lift up the low, and come down from the high, that all might celebrate together. Put everything to rights and get the house in good order, because the party is about to get started!” – Peter Nayland Kust

Bird Flu: The “Next Pandemic” is right on schedule – “During one such search yesterday evening I found this article in the journal Science, its title asking simply: Why hasn’t the bird flu pandemic started? …and, you know what, that’s a good question. Why hasn’t the bird flu pandemic started? Not literally, of course. The bird flu “pandemic” won’t ever really start. If or when it is declared it will be a lie, just like Covid. The question is why haven’t they started the big roll out yet? That is obviously the plan after all. Instead, the story has been stuck in a strange holding pattern, circling around with dire warnings of imminent danger, only to swoop away from the runway before its wheels touch down. Why hasn’t the bird flu pandemic happened yet? What are they waiting for? Well, Donald Trump, apparently, amongst other things. That’s isn’t speculation, it’s definite messaging.” – Kit Knightly

Dr Peter Hotez Predicts Unleashing Of Pandemic On January 21, 2025: What Does He Know & How Does He Know It? (VIDEO) – “Friends, hold on to your hats – the modern-day medical Nostradamus has been revealed! Readers know him well and so does the “take every jab Big Pharma peddles” group. It is none other than Dr. Peter Hotez. According to Hotez, “We have some big picture stuff coming down the pike starting on January 21st.” Speaking to MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace, Hotez rattled off an impressive list of “viruses” to be “unleashed on America” the day after Trump’s inauguration.” – Suzanne Hamner – MORE ON MR HOTEZ.

The Next ‘Plandemic’ Is Being Prepared To Be Unleashed. With Media Already Pushing Lockdowns Americans Need To Be Prepared And Remember ‘Do Not Comply’ – Susan Duclos

The Climate Fear Machine in Action – “How MSM Spins the Science on Heat and Cold Deaths. A recent study published in Science Advances has been co-opted by mainstream media (MSM) to fuel a climate panic narrative. Headlines warn of catastrophic heat-related deaths, particularly targeting younger generations. What these headlines omit is equally, if not more, important: the study also reveals an overwhelming decline in cold-related deaths, resulting in a net decrease in temperature-related mortality under all scenarios.” – Dr. Matthew Wielicki

The Economist: a marketing arm of Big Pharma. – “Recently, a relative (who describes himself as a “believer in science”) asked me what I thought generally about Ozempic (and, by implication its look-alikes), citing several Economist articles which he found rather exciting. Not being a subscriber, I asked him to forward the articles, which he did. They are here: These articles are nothing more than advertorials for these products. The underlying trials are not cited. Sorry to be a party pooper, but I would summarise my position thus: The biopharma-industrial complex is as committed to good health as the arms industry is to world peace.” – Jonathan Engler

The Penny drops? – “Assessing the Penny trial and jury deliberations. As many of you may have seen yesterday, the jury in the Daniel Penny trial deadlocked on the manslaughter charge and were unable to reach a unanimous verdict. Here’s where it gets weird: There still remained the 2nd charge of “criminally negligent homicide” but the jury was unable to move on to consider it owing to the vagaries of the instructions with which they had been provided by the judge.” – El Gato Malo

Entire Jury Should Have Acquitted Penny Immediately, Not Deadlocked – “Penny isn’t a criminal. He’s the definition of a Good Samaritan. He acted swiftly to protect innocent passengers. He embodies the best America has to offer — a young man who doesn’t run from danger but runs toward it to protect others. And Penny isn’t the only New Yorker who has been willing to step in and protect fellow passengers from dangerous perpetrators. For example, Jordan Williams, a 20-year-old black man, defended his girlfriend and other subway passengers from a violent subway rider on a Queens subway in June of 2023. Williams had his charges dropped before a trial even began. So why is Penny, who did the same thing, facing the possibility of over a decade in prison?” – Brianna Lyman

Sanctuary cities need to listen to their citizens – Silvio Canto, Jr.

The Constitution—Ignored/Bludgeoned on Both Sides of the Aisle – “If Blinkin/Sullivan can pull off WW3 in the next 7 weeks, or if some of Trump’s nominees get their way, we will see what few anticipate. Russia, China, Iran, and the BRICS are not going away. Instead, the dying US empire will be matched step for step by the Global South. Unstoppable hypersonic missiles will be placed in Iran, Belarus, North Korea—maybe even Yemen. The US thinks it is still in charge? The US is delusional.” – neverhadaboss.com – ANOTHER GOOD ONE FROM ERIK!!!

Putin and Xi and Iran The Unready – “The third front that Washington opened against Russia had immediate success. Putin’s inability to ever finish a task has cost him Syria. Now only Iran and Saudi Arabia stand between Israel and Israel’s goal of Greater Israel. The Saudis having witnessed Russia and Iran’s inattention and inability to act might reestablish the petrodollar in exchange for American protection. Iran and Hezbollah having pissed away the strategic initiative will be the next to fall. The neoconservative plan to overthrow seven Muslim countries in five years has taken longer than intended but is on its way to success.” – Paul Craig Roberts

General W. Clark: “This is a memo of how we’re going to take out seven countries in five years.” (VIDEO) – “An alarming truth revealed by retired U.S. four-star general Wesley Clark: After 9/11, the U.S. planned to take out seven countries in five years, “starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran.”” – Democracy Now – IN CASE YOU’VE NEVER SEEN IT, THESE ARE THE COUNTRIES MENTIONED BY GENERAL CLARK THAT DR. ROBERTS IS REFERRING TO!!!!

REPORT: Russian Media Claims Syria’s Fugitive Dictator Was Granted Political Asylum and Is in Moscow – “The only source for this report is TASS. There has been no official Russian comment on Assad’s situation or location.” – streiff

Moscow confirms Assad has left Syria – “The official Foreign Ministry statement doesn’t specify the veteran politician’s whereabouts” -RT

SYRIA WAR – Pits The Pentagon Against The CIA – “The CIA has given up pretending that the terrorist organizations were always funded by – the CIA and Mossad. The current ‘Opposition Group, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham’, fighting in Syria is comprised of: ISIS and al Qaeda, via the Syrian National Coalition. Ukrainian troops are helping to train the opposition using weapons provided by Antony Blinken. The purpose is to take over the entire country in a massive coup on behalf of the CIA/West which will control the region – much like Ukraine for a resource – gas. Why? ” – Helena Glass

Assad Is Out, Woke Al-Qaeda Is In – “The empire notches another win. As luck would have it, these “diversity-friendly jihadists” have been telling the Israeli press that they “love Israel” and won’t do anything to harm its interests, so it’s safe to say that this “revolution” has been about as organically grown as a sheet of crystal meth.” – Caitlin Johnstone

Trump Correctly Says “Syria Is Not our Fight, Do Not Get Involved” – “President-elect Trump has chimed in on Syria. Stay out of it, says Trump on X. So why are we there?” – Mish

NBC News Smears Tulsi Gabbard Yet Again – “But Syria Is On Our Side Now, Right? NBC News never quits smearing former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard. Its most recent article claims that “Democrats and Republicans in Congress [are] worried that Gabbard might leak information to Syria.” I guess that was just before Syria became “woke” and overthrew the Assad regime. Actually, there’s no evidence—none—that Gabbard has ever leaked anything. In fact, she’s still in the Army reserves serving as a lieutenant colonel with a top secret clearance.” – Bill Astore

Who the Hell Is In Charge Here? – “If Trump submits to Israeli control just as Biden did, we need a revolution. The internet photo that appeared last week showed a festive gathering at Mar-a-Lago, featuring a beaming Donald Trump seated with Senator Lindsey Graham standing behind him also with a big smile on his face. Seated next to Trump were two grinning apparent guests of Trump whose faces would not be familiar to most Americans. The woman was Sara, the wife of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and seated next to her was her son Yair, who reportedly has been living in Miami Florida. The presence of the prime minister’s wife and son at Mar-a-Lago on Friday signaled a clear desire by the Israelis to maintain the much-needed warmth in the personal relationship with the American president.” – Philip Giraldi

Cynical Overtakes Sacred, as the West Bares its True Face – “One can hardly believe it anymore. The West has dropped all pretense of their sacred cow of ‘democracy’, used for generations as an instrument of moral superiority with which to browbeat the rest of the world. As the West finally unravels, we are witness to a veritable string of shocking perversions of the so-called ‘democratic’ process.” – Simplicius

ECONOMIC NEWS

Socialist Insecurity – “Many people are under the impression – or pretend to believe – that they have a Social Security “account” and that they have been “contributing” to it for many years. That they have money saved up, in other words. Of course, they don’t have a cent saved up. What they get – when they are “eligible” to receive it – is a monthly dole, the amount determined by the dole master. That being the federal government. You are “owed” exactly nothing because you own nothing. The courts have said so, explicitly. Social Security is exactly the same as any other welfare program with the exception of one difference. You are not forced to “contribute” to other welfare payments. One of the clearest proofs that you have nothing saved up in your Social Security “account” is what happens to your “savings” when you die. Your spouse, children/family do not inherit a cent. The dole just ends the moment your life does.” – Eric Peters – GOOD READ FROM ERIC AS USUAL!!!

Are You Unknowingly on a Suicide Mission? – “The transfer of wealth from workers and savers to the government and the big banks rolled on this week with Swiss-like precision. The process is both mechanical and subtle. Here in the USA the automated elegance of this ongoing operation receives little attention. NFL football. Holiday BOGO offers. Trump’s cabinet picks. Hunter Biden’s pardon by the big guy. You name it. Bread and circuses like these – and many others – offer the American populace countless opportunities for chasing the wild goose. All the while, and with little fanfare, debts are piling up like deadwood in Angeles National Forest. These debts, both public and private, stand little chance of ever being honestly repaid. The obligations extend well above what the economy can support.” – MN Gordon

Reducing Government Spending Is Key To Reduce Inflation – “Markets and economists are beginning to recognize that a serious rationalization of spending is the only way to prevent a debt crisis and reduce inflation in the United States. In the latest estimates published by the Treasury, the accumulated deficit between 2024 and 2034 would reach $14 trillion.” – Daniel Lacalle

Gold little changed on the week, silver nudges higher – “There is an underlying firmness in precious metals prices as we approach the year-end. The downside now appears limited with next year looking bullish.” – Alasdair Macleod

Jobs Report? – “Uh, what jobs? Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 227,000 in November, and the unemployment rate changed little at 4.2 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Employment trended up in health care, leisure and hospitality, government, and social assistance. Retail trade lost jobs. Uh huh. Health “care” continues its march of +54,000, but how many are doctors and nurses? Ah, you already know that. All draw a check however, so that’s “good.” Leisure and hospitality hired, which is interesting too given some of the internals. We’ll get to that in a minute. Retail trade, on the other hand, was down. Oh, and in a new change, the last two months were revised up. But….” – Karl Denninger

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

Warning lights are flashing down at quality control.
Somebody threw a spanner, they threw him in the hole.
There’s rumors in the loading bay and anger in the town.
Somebody blew the whistle, and the walls came down.

There’s a meeting in the boardroom,
They’re trying to trace the smell.
There’s leaking in the washroom,
There’s a sneak in personnel.

Somewhere in the corridors,
Someone was heard to sneeze.
Goodness me
Could this be
Industrial disease?

The caretaker was crucified for sleeping at his post.
Refusing to be pacified, it’s him they blame the most.
The watchdog’s got rabies, the foreman’s got fleas.
Everyone’s concerned about industrial disease.

There’s panic on the switchboard, tongues in knots.
Some come out in sympathy, some come out in spots.
Some blame the management, some the employees.
Everybody knows it’s the industrial disease.

Yeah, and now the work force is disgusted, downs tools and walks.
Innocence is injured, experience just talks.
Everyone seeks damages, everyone agrees
That these are “classic symptoms of a monetary squeeze”.

On ITV and BBC they talk about the curse.
Philosophy is useless, theology is worse.
History boils over there’s an economics freeze.
Sociologists invent words that mean “industrial disease”.

Doctor Parkinson declared, “I’m not surprised to see you here.
You’ve got smokers cough from smoking, brewer’s droop from drinking beer.
I don’t know how you came to get the Betty Davis knees,
But worst of all, young man, you’ve got industrial disease.”

He wrote me a prescription he said, “You are depressed.
I’m glad you came to see me to get this off your chest.
Come back and see me later. Next patient, please.
Send in another victim of industrial disease.”

Oh, splendid.

I go down to speaker’s corner. I’m thunderstruck.
They got free speech, tourists, police in trucks.
Two men say they’re Jesus. One of them must be wrong.
There’s a protest singer, he’s singing a protest song.
He says,

“They wanna have a war to keep their factories.
They wanna have a war to keep us on our knees.
They wanna have a war to stop us buying Japanese.
They wanna have a war to stop industrial disease.

They’re pointing out the enemy to keep you deaf and blind.
They wanna sap your energy, incarcerate your mind.
Give you “Rule Britannia”, gassy beer, page three.
Two weeks in España and Sunday striptease.”

Meanwhile, the first Jesus says, “I’d cure it soon.
Abolish Monday mornings and Friday afternoons.”
The other one’s on a hunger strike, he’s dying by degrees
How come Jesus gets industrial disease?

Three Horrifying Consequences Of AI That You Might Not Have Thought About – ” If it’s just a novelty and not alive, what damage could it possibly do? It’s not so much that AI will turn on us or send out an army of robots to kill us; the real danger is that we will be tricked into believing that it really is all-knowing. If we rely on such faulty tech too much it could destroy us merely by giving us bad information and making us lazy. Here are three possible consequences of AI that concern me the most; consequences which I don’t think most people have considered… The AI Hive Mind, The Dead Internet Theory and The Library Of Babel” – Brandon Smith

Was Brian Thompson going to spill the beans on Artificial Intelligence programs in Healthcare? – “UnitedHealthcare, the largest health insurance company in the US, is allegedly using a deeply flawed AI algorithm to override doctors’ judgments and wrongfully deny critical health coverage to elderly patients. This has resulted in patients being kicked out of rehabilitation programs and care facilities far too early, forcing them to drain their life savings to obtain needed care that should be covered under their government-funded Medicare Advantage Plan. UnitedHealthcare is the worst of the worst when it comes to denying insurance claims. Meanwhile UHG was making huge kickbacks to Congress.

The Pearl Harbor Question People Are Afraid to Ask – “Whether FDR allowed Pearl Harbor to happen is a thorny question. What’s clear is that FDR wanted the US in World War II and was looking for a casus belli. This might sound like a crazy conspiracy to some readers. I know I would have considered it such a thing at one time (albeit many years ago). But there is a ton of historical evidence to support Allman’s central claim: FDR had plenty of reasons to suspect a Japanese attack was coming—and he wanted an attack to happen.” – Jon Miltimore

The Biden Family of Liars – “Given Joe Biden’s apparently intimate involvement in Hunter’s dealings, it follows that his intent in pardoning his son is effectively to secure a pardon for himself. It is likely that the case against the Biden crime family, as various commentators have taken to calling it, is closed, but it is too early to conclude this with certainty. Biden’s pardon is perfectly legal, but a court challenge would be legal, too, if the House or another entity chose to mount one. While Biden’s intent appears in part to have been to protect himself a well as his son, it does not automatically follow that he cannot be investigated after he leaves office.” – Patrick Lawrence

Pardoning Fauci . . . Absolving Trump? – “The “media”- which used to be the press, but that was a long time ago – is atwitter with “rumors” (which when purveyed by the “media” are often deliberately engineered narratives) that the despicable old grifter who pardoned his despicable son for all criminal acts going back to 2014 – is going to pardon the far more despicable Dr. Fauci. The old grifter’s son, after all, only got away with grift. Dr. Fauci may get away with murder – literal as well as figurative, in that he arguably is the man most culpable for murdering the sanity of millions of people, no small number of them rendered chronically ill (in the head) as you can see for yourself every time you go out in public and see people still walking around with the god-damned “mask” over their faces.” – Eric Peters

Democrats suddenly embrace herd immunity – “Of course, it’s a very special form of immunity that benefits only the president’s inner circle (and those who could get him indicted). Remember those phobic and spooky days in 2020 and 2021 when Democrats and their charlatan MD/PhDs had nothing but scorn for herd immunity re Covid? My favorite is Peter Hotez, MD/PhD, pediatric vaccine and infectious disease credentialed brainiac, who was wrong about nearly everything about Covid—especially lockdowns, mask-wearing, and child-age susceptibility.Dr. Hotez and his fellow Covid cover-up co-conspirators, namely Anthony Fauci et al. should be worried about being targets of serious investigations from the new administration ” – Geoffrey P. Hunt

The reason Democrats lost in a nutshell – “It seems safe to say that the 2024 elections were a rejection of divisive identity politics. People aren’t interested in seeing themselves or others basically assigned to a group because of some superficial characteristic and they’re sick of it happening. But a lot of Democrats simply don’t understand that. ” – Tom Knighton

Trump Picks A War Cabinet – “The Trump toadies who are convinced that Donald Trump is going to “drain the swamp” and “make America great again” during his upcoming second term as president are delusional. He did neither during his first term; and he will do neither during his second term. One need only look at Trump’s appointments at the senior executive leadership level who will direct his administration to know that Trump is nothing more than more of the same—especially in matters relating to foreign policy, which is the one specific area where a president can single-handedly do the most damage.’ – Chuck Baldwin

Feds Accuse HelloFresh Of Employing Migrant Kids At Factory In Sanctuary State Illinois – “German meal-kit company HelloFresh, the largest meal-kit provider in the US, faces fresh accusations from the US Department of Labor of employing migrant children at a factory located in the sanctuary state of Illinois. Of course, let’s not forget that Illinois Governor JB Pritzker signed legislation in 2021 that “expands protections for immigrant and refugee communities and further establishes Illinois as the most welcoming state in the nation.” Migrant children working in factories in a sanctuary state… Guess who made that possible… ” – Tyler Durden

Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Director David Rausch warned that the gang is operating a human trafficking scheme in the state. Rausch warned other states that Tren de Aragua usually begins with human trafficking before moving to more organized retail crime. From there, the gang will engage in the drug trade, undermining public safety. ” – Sarah Arnold

Interpreting Lavrov’s Assessment Of Events In Syria From His Interview With Tucker – “Russia is keenly aware of its current military limitations in this theater and the possibility of overstretching its Aerospace Forces by suddenly redirecting them away to Syria from Ukraine precisely at the moment when it must achieve a breakthrough before Trump returns to office. That’s why Russia appears to be going all in on a political solution instead of a military one.” – Andrew Korybko

ECONOMIC NEWS

Insurance the #1 Consumer Fraud in America – “They charge your car insurance on the value you pay for brand new. Put in a claim, and it is suddenly depreciated, yet they continue to charge you on the original price. They NEVER reduce your car insurance in proportion to the depreciation. That is consumer fraud, and our politicians do NOTHING! Insurance companies kill people all the time. This was inevitable.” – Martin Armstrong

Trump’s Tariffs Are Coming – How Will They Affect Your Finances? – “Tariffs. President-elect Donald Trump loves them. I’m not just saying that. He has literally said that he “loves” tariffs. He’s spent the last couple weeks promising steep tariffs on day one of his presidency. Here’s how much that will cost us… ” – Peter Reagan

Paul Krugman Rides into the Sunset – “Indeed, Krugman has been influential, but his influence hasn’t been a good thing. He is a disciple of John Maynard Keynes and has played an important role in legitimizing the application of Keynesian schemes by governments to “stimulate” their economies. Given Krugman’s inability to understand the basics of economic logic, perhaps it isn’t surprising that he made the wild prediction: “By 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet’s impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine’s.” Someone who cannot understand how production of goods drives demand for other goods most likely isn’t going to comprehend how improving pathways for information will also improve commerce. It is not surprising that regime-minded elites worshiped his every declaration. Governments were not spending too much money; they were spending too little! Those who print money hand-over-fist, who intervene in the markets to direct resources to politically-favored winners are the real public benefactors. Those who question the wisdom of untrammeled government spending are the true enemies of the people.” – William L. Anderson

Reasons Why We Store Food – “There are many reasons why we store food. Here’s a list of practical, sensible reasons to have your own food storage. Some reasons are quite obvious. I list a few other reasons that may seem fairly unlikely to some people, but I would take it seriously. It makes so much sense to store food. ” – Ken Jorgustin

How Did Our Ancestors Stay Warm All Winter? – “Depending on the location of your homestead, winter can mean two very different things. Either winter is a dip in temperature that requires pants instead of shorts, or it’s a downright frigid time when going outside involves a lot of preparation.” – Kristina Phelan

My Grandpa Taught Me This – “I was blessed by grandparents who survived the Great Depression and many lean years in the wilderness. Several of my uncles lived off the grid most of their lives, and my great-grandfather was one of the last mountain men. Each of them handed down nuggets of wisdom that have been passed down to me and now to my daughter. To help you refine your survival strategy I thought I would pass along some of the things my grandpa and others taught me.” – Eric Beuning

Selco’s Stories from an SHTF Christmas – ” Have you ever thought about what an SHTF Christmas would be like after an end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it event? I’m not talking about a minor issue that just affects a few people, but a full-on disaster that changes everything.” – Daisy Luther
