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. AS I SAID THE OTHER DAY, ALL PART OF THE PLAN. COULD BE BIRD FLU AS KIT SAYS ABOVE, WHO KNOWS COULD BE CAT SCRATCH FEVER!!!!!!!

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?

( Industrial Disease by Mark Knopfler )

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. They can’t afford to pay claims, but they can afford to do this?” – Charles Wright

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

Health insurers remove executive bios, images from websites after UnitedHealthcare CEO killing – “UnitedHealth, Elevance and some BCBS plans have deleted senior leadership pages from their corporate sites, while Centene and CVS scrubbed images of their executives online.” – Rebecca Pifer

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

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

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

Not a Joke – “The Hunter Biden super-sized blanket pardon went over so well around the country that “Joe Biden” — or the shadowy league of not-quite-geniuses who run the twilight White House operation — floated the idea of issuing preemptive pardons for a few of the most spectacularly dishonest characters in US political life:  Pardon me for saying: I fear that “Joe Biden” might have started something that isn’t going to end well for “Joe Biden” and many others. The little goldfish bowl of the White House is surrounded by the vast, pulsating DC blob and its million-footed ranks of officials deserving of pardons. You know the floated names Fauci, Schiff, and Cheney were only representative samples, denoting a certain managerial class of blobists that runs to the thousands of federal employees at least. What about Garland, Monaco, and Gupta at DOJ, and their paladin prosecutor Jack Smith, and his many deputies? Or Comey, Wray, McCabe, Rosenstein, Strzok, Page, ” – James Howard Kunstler

Penny for your thoughts – “There is a fight for civilization. Choose your fighter. This is where you land when “coddle those who threaten us” becomes the primary political praxis of cowards and the thousand little deaths they die. This is also her career maximizing choice: prevent riots and ruckus, vilify taking a stand, and free those most likely to prey upon her and those like her because that chance to her is remote but the chance that if she sparks the next George Floyd fracas, she’s out of favor and out of a job is all too real. How is that a fair trial? The incentive set stinks.” – El Gato Malo

A World of Real and Imagined Victims – “Misfortune vs. virtual signaling. So we are a society of victims. At one point or another, all of us have been victimized. But while all of us must contend with the “dog eat dog” nature of our world, in recent years we’ve seen a meteoric rise in “victims” who have been victimized by nothing, and are instead virtue signaling in search of fame and fortune. Certainly, the whole “racism” crowd alone wastes the time of everyone with their endless claims of victimhood. Black celebrities worth millions comparing themselves to their sharecropper ancestors. Now, the transgender crowd has climbed aboard the victimhood bandwagon. They blather on about being denied their “rights,” without delineating what those rights are.” – Donald Jeffries  – GOOD READ FROM DONALD!!!

The State of Student Loan Forgiveness: November 2024 – “Mass student loan forgiveness is terrible policy but that hasn’t stopped the Biden administration from trying to forge ahead. While the Supreme Court overturned the administration’s student loan forgiveness plan, every few weeks the administration announces another batch of loans that have been forgiven. But if student loan forgiveness lost in the Supreme Court, how are so many student loans still being forgiven? The answer is that there isn’t a student loan forgiveness plan. There are many plans, some of which are already up and running. Despite many setbacks, the administration has cancelled a massive amount of debt ($180 billion and counting), with most of the burden on taxpayers still to come from future repayments that will no longer be made.” – Andrew Gillen

AI World and the Cashless Society (VIDEO) – ” the true origin of cryptocurrency can be found in the early days of Silicon Valley, with the CIA, Mossad, and their pedophile blackmail operations, managing the operation from the start. In 1997, the NSA published How to Make a Mint, the Cryptography of Anonymous Electronic Cash. Ripple was formed in 2004 by a member of the INSA and a descendant of one of the most powerful banking families of Europe. Four years later, in 2008, the banks crash, and the Bitcoin white paper is introduced to the public. Four years after that, in 2012, Ripple XRP is released to the public, and today it is being considered for its new stablecoin. Stablecoins, such as Ripple’s RLUSD, are digital versions of fiat currencies. While Bitcoin may arguably be a decentralized currency, stablecoins can be programmed and tracked as easy as any CBDC can. It’s the same thing, just a different name.” – Greg Reese

UNH is certainly one of the few health organizations with enough data to answer remaining questions about the so-called COVID-19 pandemic.

Beware The Big Personalities – “A working analogy for our political climate is TR (Teddy Roosevelt), who became president in 1904. Now we have our big personality, Trump, back for a 2nd term. Trump is a personality as large as TR—but maybe not as intelligent. Trump has warned the BRICS that ceasing to use the dollar would bring down on them the wrath of god (small caps). Doesn’t Trump (or any of the fools surrounding him), understand that BRICS is nothing more than the result of US weaponizing the dollar and de-banking the world? Putin reiterates that he is not against using the dollar—instead, he has been disallowed from using the dollar—cut out of Swift—effectively de-banked. Russia didn’t sanction the US—the US sanctioned Russia for disagreeing with rules-based order. Constitutionally, we have no business in Ukraine—or funding Netanyahu. Big American personalities have taken us far away from constitutional mandates.” – neverhadaboss.com – ANOTHER GOOD READ FROM ERIK!!!

So Trump wants to slap Canada with 25% across the board tariffs? – “How’s that work for Americans? Uranium. The largest sources of uranium, delivered to the US in 2023, were Canada with 27% of total deliveries and Australia and Kazakhstan with 22% of total deliveries each. The US can no longer get it’s U from Russia. Oil. Canada exports 4.4 mbd of heavy sour crude into the US. The US uses this low grade oil sands crude in a few east coast refineries that are able to handle it. The import of this crude enables the US to sell 2.2 mbd overseas and claim itself to be energy independent. Electricity. Canada exported 27.6 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity to the United States in 2023,” – Richard Mills

Powell Spins Another False Narrative – “”When Trump is threatening these tariffs and everybody thinks we’re in the driver’s seat because we’re everybody’s best customer, we’re actually not the best customer. The best customer is the customer who pays. The customer who you have to finance, the customer who you have to loan money to buy your stuff, especially if the customer is never going to pay you back but just keeps demanding that you loan more and more money… That’s actually your worst customer, and the sooner you can cut that customer off, the better.” Fed Chair Jerome Powell was interviewed on Wednesday, and he refuses to see the writing on the wall. The economy is not strong, and new data proves it:” – Peter Schiff

The shift in this ratio appears to be accelerating and can be seen as a proxy for the West’s decline in financial dominance. Countries were pressured by the U.S. not to redeem dollars for gold during Bretton Woods, which de facto ended in 1971. Since the early 1970s, foreign central banks slowly began withdrawing metal from the Fed’s vault in lower Manhattan. ” – Jan Nieuwenhuijs

Pardons for Everyone? DO IT! – “The push to pardon the upper levels at DOJ, DHS and members of congress who destroyed evidence in the January 6th committee, and so on is simply an effort to avoid the consequences of the communist coup. The part being missed here is that they know they’re guilty of crimes against the people. They know how many people (thousands) committed those crimes at the behest of Joe Biden and other Democrats, and see it as Biden’s responsibility to clear them of consequences for committing those crimes. Aside from seeing these people in jail, which they likely would not suffer anyway, the pardons have exactly the opposite effect.” – T.L. Davis

The power of the working class – “Working class is not now, nor has it ever been, a synonym for “stupid.” Working-class folks know what’s happening in their lives and what’s happening in their friends’ and neighbors’ lives.

The entire campaign season was filled with “experts” trying to tell us that the economy was just swell and that we shouldn’t believe our lying eyes.

On the neocon list of ways to make the world safer for Israel, Iran originally occupied pride of place. This is the last chance for neocons in the United States to topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad before Donald Trump, who tried to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria, resumes the presidency in 49 days. “Real men go to Tehran!” was the muscular brag. But Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was persuaded to acquiesce in a less ambitious plan — to “do Iraq” and remove the “evil dictator” in Baghdad first. As the invaders/occupiers got bogged down in Iraq, it seemed more sensible to “do Syria” next.

The Fever Break – “Over the long holiday weekend, President Joe Biden pardoned his crooked son Hunter, which surprised only the enemies of Donald Trump. Everyone else knew that the old man would not leave office without cleaning up the mess of his son. An interesting part of the pardon is that it is not just a pardon for specific crimes that have been alleged by the Department of Justice. It is a blanket pardon for all things he may have done since 2014. This does not cover state crimes like murder, but outside of something extreme like that, it means he has been given the sort of get out of jail free card reserved for important gangsters. If the 2014 start date seems important, that is because it is when the Biden family started feeding at the Ukraine trough. There may be more Ukraine related pardons coming before January 20th. That is what makes the timing of this interesting.” – The Z Man

Leftists are surely acting as if something is lurking within the agency files that will not reflect well on the bureau. If there is, Kash Patel will be the one to unearth it.

The Looming Debt Crisis: Is America Following the Path of Collapsed Empires? – “Whether it’s Rome, Spain, France, Britain, or the Soviet Union, excessive debt has played a critical role in their decline. The typical pattern in these examples of collapsing empires is: Stage #1: Empires achieve success and become overconfident. Stage #2: Overconfidence leads to extravagant spending on luxuries and wars. Stage #3: Empires finance this lavish spending by going into debt. Stage #4: The debt grows to an unsustainable level and creates a crushing burden. Stage #5: Empires finance the debt through taxation and currency debasement. Stage #6: The populace bears the brunt of debt repayment as empires raise taxes and debase the currency—to the maximum extent—until it causes internal instability. Stage #7: Empires cannot finance their militaries because of their debt burden. This is usually the tipping point. Stage #8: Underfunded militaries plus internal instability make empires vulnerable to foreign invasion, domestic revolution, civil war, and other existential dangers. Stage #9: The empire collapses.” – Nick Giambruno

When Acceptance is Not a Spiritual Attribute – “I have heard all of my life that one of the most important steps toward spiritual enlightenment is acceptance. I think a lot of people don’t really understand what this means. In my humble opinion, this sort of spiritual acceptance is accepting an understanding that nothing that occurs in the physical world can be devoid of God. This does not mean that we condone evil, nor “accept” the devil (evil intention behind evil actions) but it means that we know God outshines whatever ugliness that we are experiencing.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

Full Disclosure – “The federal regulatory apparat requires that the sellers of the food we buy in stores list the ingredients and calories per serving and other such on the label so that we know what we’re eating.

“Corrupt To The Core”: Dems In Disarray Over Hunter Pardon As ‘Rule Of Law’ Narrative Implodes – “Absolute chaos has broken out on the left following Joe Biden’s blanket pardon of his son Hunter – which spans the period right before Hunter joined the board of Ukrainian energy giant Burisma (for $1M/year), through yesterday evening. It was also revealed that months of denying this would happen were pure lies, as the pardon had been in the works for months. In short, it couldn’t be any more obvious that Hunter was simply the Biden family bag-man.” – Tyler Durden  – I THINK WE KNEW THIS WAS COMING!!!

The Blob Has a Migraine – “You can be sure the blobists have seen this coming from years away. The boys and girls in the agencies have behaved more than just a little badly, and they know it. “JB” assured America more than once that he would never pardon Hunter. Turned out to be the joke that all his utterances were supposedly not. But, really, did you expect anything else? Do you see now, also, why Hunter pled guilty to those tax charges in the LA federal court? I’ll tell you why: because in a trial all the mechanisms of the money transfers through a myriad of bank accounts would have been disclosed. And the money trail leads from the multiple accounts of Hunter’s Rosemont Seneca operation to the personal bank accounts of Biden family members, brother Jim and wife Sara, possibly Hunter’s half-sister Ashley, and, of course, “the Big Guy.” Where are their pardons? And where is “Joe Biden’s” pardon for Joe Biden?” – James Howard Kunstler

Above the law – “Big government will never be moral government. So, obviously, this tweet has not aged terribly well:”No one is above the law” – Joe Biden. Biden did not pardon Hunter on “gun and tax charges.” he granted him full and unconditional pardon for ALL crimes dating back through the beginning of 2014, the year that Hunter joined the Burisma board bringing zero expertise and earning top dollar to peddle “the big guy’s” influence in Ukraine and kick a little cash up to the fam.” – El Gato Malo

Then came Biden. In the period since the American people rejected Biden’s neocon interventionists in favor of Donald Trump’s promises to end the wars, the “lame duck” has run roughshod over the will of the American people. Whoever is running Biden – and the answer is unclear – has decided to “Trump proof” foreign policy to bring us to the literal brink of WWIII with Russia.

In the wake of Trump’s first selection in 2016, Good Citizens might recall the Syrian civil war US-Israel-backed war suddenly ground to a halt. In the years since Israel never stopped bombing Syria, always claiming it was “self-defense” targeting Iranian proxies in the country, but they’ve also served as Al-Qaeda and ISIS’s part-time air force wherever they can get away with it, at U.S. taxpayer expense as usual. And so here we are, as if the actors and crew were rearmed in Turkey, dusted off their costumes replete with ISIS flags from eight years ago, and given a green light from Langley, London, and Tel Aviv to break the Astana Accords. No more peace for the people of Aleppo. So, no more peace in the Middle East. It lasted two days, and that’s the most Israel will allow at any one period. The neocons in Washington working on behalf of Tel Aviv need to reignite a second front for Russia in Syria, forcing them to divert more resources there. Russia is the only major power standing between Syria, Iran, and Israeli goals in the region.” – The Good Citizen  – GOOD READ FROM THE GOOD CITIZEN, BE SURE TO WATCH THE SHORT VIDEO. ALSO A GOOD TAKE FROM WINSTON BELOW!!!!

Is the Syrian colour revolution imminent? – “After several years of tension, US-backed rebel forces have recently begun a new offensive against the Assad government. The major development as of late has been the rapid advance of anti-Assad forces into the northern city of Aleppo. This city has historically been in the crossfire of rebel factions in the north. To the public, Aleppo is best known for its role in the war against ISIS— back when Islamic State forces seemed unstoppable. Syria is also geographically located in an inconvenient position for Israel, creating a type of buffer zone around some of Lebanon and forming a wall to the north against Turkey. Assad has always been a thorn in Israel side, yet in recent years the focus has obviously shifted to the more capable Iranian regime. However, this all ties together.” – Winston Smith

The Heartland theory: More relevant than ever? – ” Mackinder’s theory posits that control over the “Heartland” — roughly the region of Eastern Europe and Central Asia — grants substantial power over global politics and commerce due to its geographic centrality, strategic importance and resource abundance. We’re seeing this all play out in real time in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. As opposed to what the mainstream media propaganda and Western political leaders would have the public believe, Russia didn’t invade Ukraine out of nothing or because President Putin is some kind of comic-book madman like he is so often portrayed. Without wishing to defend any sort of aggression, especially of a military nature, and without being a Moscow apologist (for it is crystal clear that the Russian government is very far from benign and freedom-loving), there is a solid case to be made against the Western allies too, for their part in instigating this war NATO’s eastward expansion and increasing U.S. presence in Eastern Europe indicate a renewed geopolitical interest in countering Russia and China in the Heartland area and reinforcing its influence in a clearly threatening way. ” – Claudio Grass

Trump’s dictatorial attitude toward other countries contrasts with Biden’s, which (like Obama’s) had been entirely private — far more ‘diplomatic’ and dishonest (not like Trump’s, playing to only the stupidest of his own voters, his “voting base”, without the sugar-coating of hypocrisy that’s popularly called “liberalism”).

It was a slow day
And the sun was beating
On the soldiers by the side of the road
There was a bright light
A shattering of shop windows
The bomb in the baby carriage
Was wired to the radio

These are the days of miracle and wonder
This is the long distance call
The way the camera follows us in slo-mo
The way we look to us all
The way we look to a distant constellation
That’s dying in a corner of the sky
These are the days of miracle and wonder
And don’t cry baby, don’t cry
Don’t cry

It was a dry wind
And it swept across the desert
And it curled into the circle of birth
And the dead sand
Falling on the children
The mothers and the fathers
And the automatic earth
These are the days of miracle and wonder
This is the long distance call
The way the camera follows us in slo-mo
The way we look to us all
The way we look to a distant constellation
That’s dying in a corner of the sky
These are the days of miracle and wonder
And don’t cry baby, don’t cry
Don’t cry

It’s a turn-around jump shot
It’s everybody jump start
It’s every generation throws a hero up the pop charts
Medicine is magical and magical is art
The Boy in the Bubble
And the baby with the baboon heart

And I believe
These are the days of lasers in the jungle
Lasers in the jungle somewhere
Staccato signals of constant information
A loose affiliation of millionaires
And billionaires and baby
These are the days of miracle and wonder
This is the long distance call
The way the camera follows us in slo-mo
The way we look to us all
The way we look to a distant constellation
That’s dying in a corner of the sky
These are the days of miracle and wonder
And don’t cry baby, don’t cry
Don’t cry

( Boy in The Bubble by Paul Simon and Forere Motloheloa )

WHO’s Pandemic Treaty: A Blueprint for Global Control? – ANH-USA

What exactly was Sweden so “right” about? – “It is common for people to praise Sweden’s “pandemic response”, . “Granted, they did have a somewhat more enlightened policy on school closures and society-wide lockdowns,  But, because the “Swedish response” offers no challenge to the core narrative, the perpetrators are in fact quite happy, since the need for “pandemic preparedness” lives on. The foundations are being laid for “the next pandemic”, which will no doubt involve a scary “gain of function” narrative which is even more carefully crafted, now using the vast experiences gained during the last few years.” – Jonathan Engler

MPs back proposals to legalise assisted dying – “Opponents of the bill raised concerns that terminally ill people, particularly the elderly, disabled or vulnerable, could be pressurised into ending their own lives. They also argued the focus should be on improving end-of-life care rather than introducing assisted dying.” – Becky Morton

Only a tiny fraction of the number of reports submitted are done so by a patient or their doctor.

It’s Just Not Possible – “Since when have human beings developed this belief that no one in power could possibly be corrupt, or have ulterior motives to benevolent governance? It seems impossible for them to believe a politician could be a “bad guy”—only Donald Trump seems worthy of this sentiment. And why is that? What did he do so bad that he is looked upon as being practically inhuman in his ugliness? Grab pussies? I grew up in the ‘60s and ‘70s, and back then there was probably not a single thing the government could do that people trusted. I actually had someone tell me once that he could forgive Biden for his shortcomings because he had a dog, whereas Trump did not, so he is an evil ass—Biden could not be evil because of his love for his dog. I have to admit there is some psychological validity in this assessment, but come on, Hitler was known to love his dog, Blondi, and that obviously did not mellow out, or excuse, his behaviour.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

Black Friday in Heartless Country – “America 2.0 has the deals. So after recovering from all the turkey, stuffing, green beaned casserole, and pie, millions of Americans will be hitting the stores early today. Very early. Some stores now start Black Friday on Thursday evening. Kind of an Ebenezer Scrooge version of Midnight Mass. Big Savings! Greatest Deals! Mayhem and Trampling! Now, I have long avoided any store on Black Friday. Black Friday tends to not only bring out the phoniest aspects of our rigged economic system, it also tends to bring out the worst in shoppers. Remember how on Black Friday 2011, poor Walter Vance dropped dead in the middle of a Target store in West Virginia? Not a single shopper paid the least attention, stepping around or over his body in the aisle. Someone couldn’t have at least called 911? Instead, they pursued those bogus bargains, with the kind of maniacal fervor that must have existed during a witch burning in Salem.” – Donald Jeffries

How Close to WWIII? (VIDEO) with COL. Douglas Macgregor – “”How close are we  the United States to a a hot War.

Why on earth does MSNBC keep Joy Reid? Why does MSNBC continue to exist? – “Everyone with a room-temperature IQ knows that MSNBC is home to lunatics, vicious anti-Trumpers, and anti-American moonbats who soothe their hate-filled shattered souls by operating according to Saul Alinsky’s prescriptions for destroying America as founded. ” – Patricia McCarthy

The (Political) Sound Of Silence – “It’s all white noise nowadays. And I like it that way. Rather than attributing my newfound peace of mind to my preferred candidate winning, I actually credit a self-fulfilling prophecy that began when I turned off the media and social media for the week after election day. Without the media or social media, there are fewer things held directly in front of my face that I’m told are causes for worry. With less to worry about, I don’t feel the need to get lost in thought or surrender the sovereignty of my mind to social media or mainstream media. And without surrendering my mind to these outlets, I have less to worry about — the pattern continues and time moves forward.” – Quoth the Raven

Why Did Putin Say Trump is “Not Safe”? NATO at the Brink of All Out War with Russia – “This was actually headline news for quite a while on RT.com. What makes this comment interesting, is that apparently nobody even asked him a question about this, and he appeared to offer this idea completely on his own.” – Brian Shilhavy

The Explosive Growth of America’s Savage Tren de Aragua Gang – “Don’t think for a minute the Trump administration can end this quickly… Their territory now covers more than half of America’s population… including places as unlikely as Montana and Wyoming. With another eight weeks before Donald Trump even takes office, the gang is growing faster than anyone anticipated. Most of this growth is being fueled by the growing numbers of single men of military age now in overflowing migrant shelters.” – Jim McCraigh

Democrat Mayors Say They Will Use Police To Obstruct Trump’s Deportation Of Illegals – “Denver Mayor Mike Johnston claims the deportation of illegals is “unconstitutional” and he initially threatened to use local law enforcement to block federal agencies from entering the city to carry out migrant arrests. Johnston seemed to tone down his chest puffing theatrics after incoming Border Czar Tom Homan gave him a reality check. “You are absolutely breaking the law. All he has to do is look at Arizona v. U.S. and he would see he’s breaking the law, Homan said flatly. “But, look, me and the Denver mayor, we agree on one thing. He’s willing to go to jail, I’m willing to put him in jail.” It should be noted that members of the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua have been intercepted in Denver County and in Cochise County just east of Tuscon. They are specifically organizing in sanctuary cities with lax immigration standards, and they often recruit from illegal migrant shelters already in these areas. ” – Tyler Durden

The Insanity of Neocons – “How much longer will the U.S. Government’s war against the world continue? Will it NEVER stop, until it destroys the entire world?” – Eric Zuesse

Atlanticists mobilise to salvage NATO as Russia toughens its stance – “No doubt, NATO is very concerned about the emergent situation but still won’t accept a Russian victory. Hotheads in the West are once again talking about the deployment of troops by NATO countries to Ukraine for combat operations, which was originally mooted by French President Emmanuel Macron in February. But plainly put, unless the US is willing to put boots on the ground, the rest of NATO simply run around like a headless chicken.” – M. K. Bhadrakumar

North Korea will stand with Russia – Kim Jong Un – “Long-range strikes are “reckless military adventurism” by the West and Ukraine, the country’s leader has insisted” -RT

The Empire Strikes Back – Launching Multi-Pronged Hybrid War Against Resistance Axis – “It’s been an eventful few days as the Empire threw a head-fake with the Israeli conflict freeze, then launched into a major new hybrid escalation against the resistance, which included an attack on the Ruble initiated by sanctions against Gazprombank and many other Russian banks, a renewed Maidan color revolution attempt in Georgia, and now a massive Turkish-backed offensive in Syria.” – Simplicius

Total global gold reserves allegedly held by central banks (37,000 tonnes) are valued at $3.1 trillion at the current market price of $2,700. That value is absurd when one US company – Microsoft – has the same valuation. Just think about it: Microsoft is as big as the gold backing of the global financial system.” – Egon von Greyerz

Time for Starmer to Be Honest About What Net Zero Means: Rationing, Blackouts and Travel Restrictions in the Next Five Years – “After 2030, consider that all beef, lamb and dairy will be banned and “replaced by new diets”. Then there is a massive 45% cut in most common building materials such as cement, along with a similar reduction in road freight traffic. The attack on farming will be remorseless with fertiliser restriction halving “direct emission” from the soil. To sum up: widespread rationing and blackouts along with food, holiday and travel restrictions, all within about 60 months.” – Chris Morrison

What Part of Mandate Don’t You Understand? – “You have every reason to believe that this arrogant, malicious, leviathan government, and the vicious intel / lawfare blob at its vanguard, is about to be turned upside-down, inside-out, and sideways. Every appointment by Mr. Trump is a dose of chemotherapy to this malignant beast, aimed at all its diseased organs. The rogue cells within are going to die hard, struggle against their extinction, shriek and thrash as the treatment proceeds. That is, if it is allowed to proceed. And so: rumors arise of a coup to prevent it from happening.” – James Howard Kunstler

Trump faking solution to Mexican immigration…again? – “Trump threatens to lay huge tariffs on Mexican goods exported to the US. Then he has an 11/27/2024 conversation with Mex President Sheinbaum. Then Trump says she has agreed to stop immigration through Mexico into the US. Then President Sheinbaum DENIES saying she would cut off immigration through our southern border. Trump pulled a similar number during his first term as President. The Presidency isn’t a sales campaign. The campaign for the Presidency was a sales campaign. This is now Reality.” – Jon Rappoport

In short: Israel controls the U.S. Government. How long has this been the case? At least since 1967.” – Eric Zuesse

The Zealous Pursuit of Retail Therapy – “The stock market is in full melt up. The Trump bump is powering share prices higher. Investors and speculators expect a bright future. And their intentions are to exploit it for personal profit. The general logic is that Trump is pro-growth and pro-business. That his policies will unshackle the economy from the restraints of burdensome and onerous regulations. That he will stick it to foreign competitors and Make America Great Again. That corporate earnings will soar. And thus, stocks will become even more valuable. The logic, unfortunately, is braindead.” – MN Gordon

So what would actually happen? First things, it’s not science fiction. America didn’t have a central bank for its first 140 years. We had air conditioning, telephones, and electric cars before we had a Fed. Moreover, there are countries today that still do not have a central bank — 7 in all, 8 if Argentina joins the party. So what would it take, and what would happen next.” – Peter St Onge

Cashless Societies: How To Survive Now and In the Future – “Aside from economic collapse scenarios, many countries are in the process of eliminating physical cash and coins. Instead, everyone has an account that holds their money. You cannot purchase goods or services without access to government-based cryptocurrency. Even if the currency itself is still backed by faith in the government, you have to use this electronic system. The result is multiple problems that could leave you in a situation where you have the money in the bank to pay your bills and purchase goods and services, yet you cannot do so.” – Carmela Tyrell
