THE BIG PICTURE

We’re All Disabled Now . . . – “Imagine if you were pretty much obliged to buy a cane or a walker in order to be allowed to walk in public. Never mind you don’t need a cane or a walker to assist you walking. Well, this is basically the situation with regard to new vehicles. You are able to drive – the state affirms this, having issued you a license to drive that at least nominally is only issued to people who have established a basic minimum level of competence to drive – yet the vehicle is layered with what is styled “driver assistance technology.” This implies you need it. Which implies you’re actually not competent to drive unassisted. So why the bother over licensing drivers? (Well, we know why. The driver’s license is really just an ID – and the state very much wants you to have to carry ID around – and show it. It establishes who’s boss – and who isn’t.)” – Eric Peters

What the Fuck is Going On? – Expanded – “An overview of all that matters – Everything else is theater. There is a certain kind of British conversation that takes place in a quiet room with two cups of tea going cold on the table, the kind where one man tells another that the country he was born in has been gutted from the inside, that the elections he votes in are theatre, that the pension he has been paying into is collateral for a debt nobody intends to repay, and the other man, who already half-believed it, sits there and feels the last of his civic optimism leave the room like steam off the tea. That conversation has been happening more often lately. It is happening in pubs in Bedford, in coffee shops in Manchester, in the spare bedrooms of men in their fifties who have stopped sleeping properly and have begun reading books their fathers would have called crank literature, and it is happening because the official explanations no longer fit the visible facts. The visible facts are these. ” – A Lily Bit

daylight come (VIDEO) – Sylvia Shawcross  – A LITTLE HEART WARMING VIDEO FROM SYLVIA

3 Days Left to Prosecute Anthony Fauci (VIDEO) – “I joined Rob Finnerty on NEWSMAX to expose Fauci’s criminal activities that may have resulted in millions of casualties” -.Nicolas Hulscher, MPH  – A SHORT GOOD WATCH!!!

Deep State War on God Exposed: New Tower of Babel: – “In the shadowy corridors of power, from Washington and New York to London, Paris, Beijing, and Moscow, this conspiracy has been unfolding for generations. The insidious plot, so deeply rooted in darkness, threatens the very foundations of human freedom and divine order. Just as Satan in his pride sought to overthrow God and claim His throne, these conspirators — following after “their father, the Devil” — wage endless war on their Creator. In the long run, they will lose. But the damage wrought in the meantime is incalculable. It must be understood that, at its core, this conspiracy is not merely political or economic. It is profoundly spiritual — literally a satanic rebellion against the Creator Himself. Some 3,000 years ago, David warned in Psalm 2:2: “The kings of the Earth rise up and the rulers band together against the Lord and against his anointed, saying, ‘Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.’” – Alex Newman

WHO Inexplicably, Immediately Releases All Passengers on Hantavirus Cruise Ship Without Quarantine- “Said virus has an incubation period of 7-39 days, meaning an infected individual could walk around symptom-free for the better part of a month and a half without exhibiting any outward signs  Said outbreak occurred on a structure that can easily logistically be kept out at sea until the incubation period expires. Why would you do this unless the goal were to spread it far and wide in the hopes you can get it to catch on somewhere and/or maximize the strategic terror through your mass media proxies?” – Ben Bartee

Is Hantavirus the “Next Pandemic” Bill Gates Promised Us? – *It looks like these results are changing quickly. Because we know how this goes. It starts with a vague “future threat.” Then come the ominous headlines. The urgent briefings. The concerned experts trotting out warnings. The discussions about isolation protocols, emergency response powers, international coordination, and the importance of public compliance. The mandates (they’re temporary!). The vaccine (it’s brand-spanking-new but also totally safe and effective!). The baffling explanations for why The Science™ changed three times while you were in the shower. And, most importantly, the need for every last useless eater to be monitored, mapped, tracked, traced, identified, inventoried, and integrated into their “temporary” emergency system (the one that’s permanent). For our safety and protection, obviously. Problem, panic, product. Repeat.” – Jenna McCarthy

1500 New Data Centers Planned – A Military Project Of The White House – “The Utah Data Center: a 62 square mile monstrosity, the Data Center has come under intensive backlash given the amount of water such a facility would engorge. While the facility is not the largest in the world, it is a close 5th and will take 6+ years to build. IF in fact it is a data center. Given the Military Installation Development Authority (MIDA) is partial owner, speculation is high that it is a weapons facility, or another Area 52. While its website claims they are absolutely 100% transparent with the community and public, it would appear that is a ‘nontruth’.” – Helena Glass – LINKED ABOUT THIS YESTERDAY AS WELL!!!

Why does America need so many AI data centers? U.S. building more than 5,200 data centers compared to only 1,818 in China – “The answer is hiding in plain sight but nobody is looking or asking the right questions. I believe I have the answer. The only explanation is that the U.S. plans to serve as the nerve center for the coming one-world digital/programmable currency. Think about the computing power that would be required for a beast system in which every transaction worldwide is tracked in real time and entered onto a digital blockchain.” – Leo Hohmann  -HERE’S LEO’S TAKE  ON THE SUBJECT!!!!

Uh oh…looks like the Hantavirus made its way to the Magic Chosen Strip of Land! “First case of hantavirus diagnosed in Israel 🇮🇱 after patient’s visit to Eastern Europe” – “Hmmm…” – Sage Hana

 

 

NEWS

Key facts about the White House dinner shooting that have already faded from memory – “First, the night of the shooting, and the day after, news outlets reported “there was an exchange of gunfire.” That means Cole Allen opened fire, and the Secret Service agents responded with fire. You or I could have picked out three good old boys from the hills who wouldn’t have missed. But these highly trained agents…oops…no dice. “Suspect is unharmed.” Unless…the agents were supposed to miss.” – Jon Rappoport

From “Conspiracy Theories” to “Theories”: The New York Times’s Shift on Epstein’s Death – “The New York Times is no longer treating the possibility of Epstein’s murder as a “conspiracy theory.”” – Jon Miltimor)

Trump and Zionist Billionaires Attack MAGA Defectors – ” The Epstein files and Trump’s support for Israel have fractured the MAGA movement. For Trump and his billionaire Zionist handlers, Thomas Massie is a threat.” – Kurt Nimmo. – AT LEAST MR. MASSIE ISN’T AFRAID TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE NONSENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Most Important Race in America Is a Republican Primary in Kentucky – “If you watch this interview, you will understand why I fully endorse Thomas Massie” – Sayer Ji

Here We Go Again – “Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson predicts Donald Trump will again order military attacks against Iran as early as this week. He is not alone in this assessment. A host of geopolitical scholars, former military officers, former intelligence officers and academics are predicting the same thing. I sincerely hope they are wrong, but the massive military buildup in the Persian Gulf by U.S. forces strongly suggests they are right. One thing is a fact: Iran believes an attack is coming, and they are “cocked-and-locked,” and maybe not locked. Should Trump again “pull the trigger” and launch another bombing campaign—or even a ground invasion—against Iran, the consequences will be staggering worldwide.” – Chuck Baldwin

Presidential Lie Detectors Flashing Like Fish in the Sea Everywhere We Look Today – “Lies, lies everywhere. Today, it wasn’t new lies; it was multiple proofs of everything I called out as a lie yesterday. First, Iran made it clear the president has been lying again: Then we have news today making it clear that the president did not call off Project Freedom because Iran was close to making a deal, as he had claimed yesterday morning, Saudi Arabia stated today that the operation was paused because the Saudis closed all their air bases to the US in order to stop Project Freedom:” – David Haggith

Moscow Threatens Mass Strikes on Kiev Center Should Zelensky Disturb Sacred V-Day Ceremonies – Simplicius

America’s Suicide Pact – “America’s suicidal march began long before Donald Trump. Trump and the buffoons around him are the inevitable final chapter of the decaying empire.” – Chris Hedges

Why Does the U.S. Have So Many Military Bases Overseas? – “You can’t make this stuff up. The “liberal” New York Times has now explained why the U.S. has so many overseas military bases in the Middle East and elsewhere. The NYT’s answer suggests the large permanent U.S. military presence dates only from 1991 and was almost an accident of that war. At least the answer mentions oil, though U.S. designs weren’t so much about “protecting” the oil—more like securing or stealing it. “Promoting Democracy.” How has that worked in Iraq? Libya? Syria? Elsewhere? Sorry, democracy isn’t spread by Hellfire missiles and decapitation strikes.” – Bill Astore

Border Czar Doubles Down on Mass Deportations – Kenn Gividen

Cost of California’s High-Speed Rail Goes Up Again – “The California High-Speed Rail Authority’s latest draft business plan, which it releases every year, now calculates that it will cost $126 billion to connect San Francisco with Los Angeles-Anaheim. It’s not that far off the previous year’s estimate — give or take a billion or so. But it is a jolting reminder that it was supposed to cost $33 billion when voters approved the train in 2008.” – Kerry Jackson

Nigeria Intimated That It’s Preparing To Intervene In Mali – “Its Defense Minister is preconditioning the public ahead of what might be an inevitable regional war.” – Andrew Korybko

 

 

ECONOMIC NEWS

Lubricant Disruption Threatens Machinery Operation & Economic Upheaval; Chevron CEO Glazes US Low Risk (Not Low) – “Lost in the claims that the US is self-sufficient in crude production is a small detail: the US is heavily dependent upon Persian Gulf supply of processed petroleum feedstock called ‘base oils’ that are essential to the production of lubricants and industrial oils (motor oils, hydraulic oils, greases, etc.).” – David Jensen

Men Plan, God Laughs, Gold Does Its Thing – “Be prepared…Wall Street had the script ready. Iran cools down? Gold should drop. Stocks rally? Silver should stall. Dollar up? Metals down. And yet… here we are again. Gold refuses to behave. Silver keeps sniffing higher. The miners are acting like something bigger is brewing beneath the surface. 📈 The market is starting to understand something most people still don’t get: Geopolitics is no longer the story. Liquidity is the story.” – Kerry Lutz

The New Fed Chair and the Coming Inflation Wave – Doug Casey

Closer Look Reveals April Jobs Report Was A Disaster, And AI Is Now Here To Take Your Job – “It’s amazing how much dirt the BLS tried to shovel under the rug. *HASSETT: ‘RIP-ROARING’ JOBS MARKET Unfortunately, below the surface this was the ugliest jobs report in years, and one could say even more cooked than last month’s laughable surge in jobs (which was revised from 178K to 185K). Here’s why.” – Tyler Durden

Oh My…. (You DONT Want To See This). But You Knew It Was Coming… – “Jobs report today: Economy adds 115,000 jobs in April in sign labor market on the mend — live updates. The payroll survey says the economy added 115,000 payroll jobs in April. But the same BLS report says the household survey showed 226,000 fewer employed people, the labor force fell by 92,000, and 188,000 more people left the labor force. That is not a “labor market on the mend” story. ” – Gregory Mannarino

Is the silver bull back? – “Notably in silver, bear squeeze conditions were evident this week. The likelihood of the bull market returning is now strengthened, particularly given gold’s improving prospects. The classic conditions for a bear squeeze are a combination of bearish trader consensus and an unexpected rise in the price, leading to shorts being squeezed into buying back their positions. That’s a reasonable description of market developments this week. ” – Alasdair Macleod

Silver Panic Has Already Started (VIDEO) with Andy Schectman – ” The conversation dives deep into unusual activity inside COMEX, massive physical silver deliveries, warehouse drawdowns, rising questions about market trust, and why some believe the silver market is approaching a breaking point. ” – Kerry Lutz’s Financial Survival Network

What Makes A Life Worth Defending – A Reflection For Preppers – “There is a question that doesn’t get asked nearly enough in the prepping community, and honestly, the silence around it is a little unsettling. We spend a lot of time talking about gear lists, bug-out routes and survival protocols. Sure, all of that is valuable, and none of it is wasted effort, but somewhere along the way, a lot of us forget to ask the one question that actually gives everything else its weight: what are we doing all of this for?” – Bob Rodgers

The “Early Summer” Food You’re Walking Past – “If you walk your property this time of year and don’t see food, you’re not looking hard enough. Early summer isn’t subtle. It’s loud. It’s generous. It’s the land practically leaning over and saying, “You’re missing it.” Because right now, berries are ripening in the hedgerows. Medicinal herbs are pushing through old fence lines. And so-called “weeds” are quietly filling in every gap with usable, valuable nutrition. In other words, your land isn’t just sitting there. It’s producing.” – Bill Heid

5 Signs Your Local Power Grid Is Targeted by Cyber Attacks – “There’s a thing that happens when the power goes out at night. For the first few seconds, your brain doesn’t register it. You sit there in the dark, waiting, because the power always comes back. It always does. Except one day, maybe it won’t – and the reason won’t be a storm or a blown transformer. It’ll be someone sitting at a keyboard three thousand miles away. And if you think that’s speculation, you must know that it already happened.” – Kate L. Gilmour

THE BIG PICTURE

A Murderous Cult Run by a Murderous Cult Run by a Murderous Cult – “All funded by people who hate Americans, America and freedom, The sight of the bloated oleaginous Prince Charles at the White House this week was meant to reassure us that God was in his heaven and all was right with the world. But he was here, as is his reason for going anywhere, to assert his position as King of the World, or the E.U., the U.N. the World Economic Forum, the Defender of Faiths or however he styles himself to himself this week, and to make sure that the torrent of American money keeps filling up European coffers so they can continue to throw it at fake problems like their endless war against Russia, “climate change” and its devil spawn, DEI, ESG, mass migration and the elimination of uppity whites.” – Elizabeth Nickson

The WHCD Shooting Was Fake and Staged – New World Next Week (VIDEO) – “This week on New World Next Week: the latest shooting theatre was fake and staged; your car is now a surveillance machine; and Professor Corgan reveals the truth about value.” – James Corbett

You Paid Into Social Security for Fifty Years. Trump Just Told You He Spent It. – “The billionaire class waged a war on behalf of a foreign government and sent you the bill. Your MAGA hat is not going to cover it. You worked for fifty years. You got up before dawn in a steel plant, a warehouse, a factory floor, a job site, places where your body was the machine and the machine did not care about your back or your knees or your lungs. You paid into Social Security every single paycheck for decades, which, if you are doing the math, is a LOT of paychecks. You were told, explicitly and repeatedly, by every president and every politician of every party for your entire adult life, that this money was yours. Held in trust. A sacred compact between the American worker and the country that worker built with their hands. So you are probably wondering what happened to it.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

Stanford Biosecurity Expert Says AI Chatbot Gave Him a Blueprint for Genocidal Bioweapon, Including Step-by-Step Instructions for Modifying Deadly Pathogen and Conducting Mass Transit Attack – Cassandra MacDonald

‘Major Win’: House Strips Pesticide Liability Shield From Farm Bill in Bipartisan Vote – “The U.S. House voted 280-142 today to remove language that would have limited lawsuits against pesticide makers. The vote marked a significant bipartisan rebuke of industry-backed protections. “I do not support giving blanket immunity to corporations at the expense of American families,” said Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, who co-authored the amendment to preserve states’ authority over pesticide labeling and safety standards.” – Jill Erzen  – DIDN’T THINK THAT WOULD GO THROUGH. FOR ONCE THEY DID SOMETHING RIGHT!!!

Workers of the World, Disunite! – “May Day moaners, raised fist emojis, and shopworn sloganeering… ¡Viva la Revolución! Yes, dear reader, it’s time to dust off your portable Marx reader, don your favorite Che Guevara t-shirt, select the “raised fist emoji” on your profile settings, and follow that familiar smell to the nearest protest march! Welcome to another installment of May Day, the world’s longest running grievance swap meet, where the “Workers of the World” come together to celebrate their cause by doing what they do best: bravely taking the day off.” – Joel Bowman

Climate Lockdown: US Oil Exports Surge To Record High As Gas Prices Rise And Trump Still Hasn’t Refilled Strategic Reserve, While UAE Leaves OPEC Causing Further Disruptions -“The United States has been insulated so far.

NEWS

The Great Retreat from Germany – “5000 Troops on the Move, News out of the Pentagon is that the great retreat from Germany is beginning. Five thousand U.S. troops are being withdrawn at the request of a petulant president who can’t stand criticism of his disastrous war of choice with Iran. (Then again, maybe it wasn’t a war of choice, as it appears his commander-in-chief, Bibi Netanyahu, gave him none.) Other countries to have annoyed Trump include Spain and Italy. In Trump’s words: “Italy has not been of any help to us and Spain has been horrible, absolutely horrible.”” – Bill Astore

The Warmongering WSJ Editorial Board Now Sounds Just Like Trump – “Apparently, losing less than the rest of the world is winning.” – Mish

Donald Trump Says US Will Take Over Cuba ‘Almost Immediately’. – “President Donald Trump said Friday during remarks in Florida that the United States would take over Cuba “almost immediately,” suggesting an aircraft carrier could be positioned offshore after the conflict in Iran. The comments came the same day Trump signed an executive order significantly expanding U.S. sanctions on the Cuban government and its affiliates. While the president’s comments appeared partly joking, they followed concrete policy action in the form of broadened sanctions.” – Sam Stevenson  – HIGHLY DOUBT HE WAS JOKING!!!!!

Trump Issues Letter Rejecting Congressional Oversight For War, Citing Ceasefire Has ‘Terminated’ Hostilities – “President also meanwhile rejects latest Iran proposal: “not satisfied”…” – Tyler Durden

DOJ Probes 36 Illinois School Districts Over Sexual Orientation Content in Pre-K–12 Classes – “The department will investigate whether parents are notified about their right to opt out children from gender ideology topics.” – Naveen Athrappully

Elizabeth Warren Killed Spirit Airlines and Now She’s Complaining About It – “Sen. Elizabeth Warren, in partnership with former Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg and President Joe Biden are the ones with Spirit Airlines’ blood on their hands after working tirelessly to block the merger of the budget airline with JetBlue. Now that the company is dead, the hyper-progressive Democrat wants to complain about the lack of competition in the air travel industry.” – Joseph Chalfant

Ad absurdly suggests Miller-Meeks led charge for “less expensive health care”- “Lately, you haven’t been able to turn on the TV without hearing how great Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks is. The American Action Network, a special interest group with ties to the U.S. House Republican leadership, has been blanketing area TV stations and online outlets with ads that claim Miller-Meeks, the member of Congress for Iowa’s first district, “led the charge for high-quality, less expensive health care, especially for rural Iowans.” Then they say that we should “thank her for delivering for all of us.” Miller-Meeks is faltering as a fiscal conservative, according to conservative groups. Her actions in Congress actually raised health care costs. She supported tariffs that are hurting US factory growth. Those tariffs also cost US families $1,000 apiece last year, according to the Tax Foundation. They’ll cost families another $600 this year. She also boasted about helping to author a supply chain grant program in an agency Trump tried to eliminate. Yet, she claims she is working side by side with the president, even as the administration has failed to publish any guidance for the program. Somebody should create a TV ad laying out this record. It probably won’t help Miller-Meeks get re-elected, but it would be more honest.” – Ed Tibbetts  –  A PRIME EXAMPLE OF POLITICA PROPAGANDA IN IOWA, AND I’M SURE THE SAME “BS” HAPPENS IN EVERY STATE!!!!!!!!!!

Seattle’s Socialist Mayor Gives a Master Class – on How Not to Respond in an Interview – “Washington State just passed a “millionaires tax” in April.

Trump Moves Closer to Final ‘Blowout’ Hail-Mary Against Iran, as Outlets Report Total US Regional Wipeout – “It seems each passing day begins with some new revelations of the true scale of Iran’s damage against US in the brief conflict. This is natural, of course, given that the immediate M.O. is to always downplay any losses for the “invincible” US military machine. It’s scary to think what we’ll learn as time passes, particularly on the touchy subject of US human losses. The latest report was brought by CNN, which shared a segment about how 16 US bases were emptied and heavily damaged by attacks which were “much more sophisticated” than previously thought or anticipated:” – Simplicius

 

 

 

ECONOMIC NEWS

An Evening Out at Taco Bell – “If you were around in the ’90s, you probably saw Demolition Man. It starred Sylvester Stallone and Sandra Bullock and depicted a future in which – among other things – the most extravagant luxury was an evening out at Taco Bell. Well, we experienced our own version of this extravagant luxury the other night. At Burger King. It was late, we were tired and so – for the first time in years – we rolled up to the order window at a fast food drive-through. We ordered two “Whoppers” with (allegedly) cheese. I place the name of this hamburger in air fingers quotes because if it is a “Whopper,” then my understanding of this word requires correction. What came through the drive-through window was a bag containing two very modest-looking hamburgers; hardly “Whoppers.” The patty was a sad-looking disc maybe a fourth-of-an-inch thick, salted like beef jerky and almost as leathery. There was a piece of flaccid lettuce, a tasteless tomato and two little pickle slices about the size of a penny. The buns were the biggest component of the “Whopper.” Maybe the word refers to the price. This would make more sense. Those two “Whoppers” cost $15. No fries. No drinks. Fifteen bucks for two sad-looking “Whoppers” that were, by my reckoning, about the same size – the patties, for sure – as you used to get when you ordered a kid’s-size cheeseburger and paid maybe a buck for it.” – Eric Peters

Inflation in the Entire US economy Is Rocking and Rolling, and It’s Not Just Energy – “The 6-month core services PCE inflation index, accelerating since August, hit 3.7% annualized. Chip prices and software wreak havoc amid consumer electronics.” – Wolf Richter

Liquidity At Any Cost – “Over the last few years, it appeared that the Federal Reserve was finally attempting to get its house in order. After the insane pandemic-era peaks, where its balance sheet ballooned to over $8.9 trillion, the central bank spent years on a steady program of balance sheet reduction. Through a process called Quantitative Tightening (QT), the Fed allowed bonds to roll off the books without replacing them. It successfully shrank its balance sheet to about $6.5 trillion by December 2025. But if you’ve been watching the Fed’s balance sheet lately, the trend has pulled a U-turn.” – MN Gordon

UK Retail Sector Collapse – “Britain’s retail sector has just posted the worst collapse in sales in more than 40 years, and this is precisely the type of economic deterioration our models have been warning would emerge across Europe into 2028. ” – Martin Armstrong

Now It’s JPMorgan’s Turn to Say the Oil Math Is Wrong – “Time to lace up those oil-trading boots!!! Natasha Kaneva at JPMorgan Chase is not writing research; she is running a countdown She has already mapped the point where Gulf disruption stops being a routing issue and starts forcing real shut-ins, and once that line is crossed, you are no longer trading delayed barrels, you are trading permanent damage to the supply curve Then she hits the part the market keeps missing. The shock does not land all at once; it travels Different tanker speeds mean different arrival times, so the oil shockwave rolls basin by basin, not screen by screen. Asia tightens before Europe, Atlantic lags until it does not, and by the time it shows up clean in Brent, the squeeze is already in motion. She’s not just flagging stress, she is laying out the full arc of how this breaks She starts with the uncomfortable truth that unless flows snap back to pre-war normal, the market is heading into forced demand destruction,” – Stephen Innes

Is This Rally A Bull Trap?? (VIDEO) with Lance Roberts – “After the best month for stocks in six years, the market is in ‘very overbought’ territory in the near term and ripe for a pullback warns portfolio manager Lance Roberts.

The Grid Doesn’t Need To Control You… Just Your Basic Assumptions – “I’ve been saying for the last couple of weeks that most folks think they’re off the grid because they bought a few panels, stacked some firewood, and planted a garden. But here’s the uncomfortable truth… if someone can still predict what you believe, what you fear, and how you’ll react… you’re not off the grid. You’re just running a different power source.

THE BIG PICTURE

Unemployed USAID LinkedIn Flexing – “USAID commissars fired by DOGE shed tears with NYT, schadenfreude ensues. Last week, The New York Times published a sob story called “A Year After U.S.A.I.D.’s Death, Fired Workers Find Few Jobs and Much Loss. Predictably, every person featured in the story is a LinkedIn flexer. I have screenshotted their elite human capital profiles along with spicy commentary on the NYT article below. Several patterns emerge: They all have multiple useless degrees, likely subsidized by taxpayers. None of them have the self awareness to realize that they are unemployable and wasted decades on bullshit jobs that served no purpose other than lining their pockets with our money” – Yuri Bezmenov  – GOOD ONE FROM YURI ONCE AGAIN!!!!

Another Fake Israeli Trump Assassination Attempt (Cole Allen) (VIDEO) – “This 3rd fake Trump assassination attempt on April 25th 2026, another Israeli-orchestrated event, was likely planned to divert further attention away from the coming technocracy and to a lesser extent the Epstein Files while there is a lull in the Iran War.” – Makia Freeman – MAKIA COVERS A LOT OF GOOD POINTS IN THIS VIDEO!!!!

You’re Paying for Trump’s Ballroom – “That night, a man fired a gun at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. By Sunday morning, before the country had finished breakfast, the Acting Attorney General of the United States posted four words on X. It’s time to build the ballroom. The Department of Justice does not produce letters like that in twelve hours. It does not move that fast on a regular Tuesday afternoon when everyone is at their desks and caffeinated. The letter was sitting in a folder somewhere, finished, vetted, ready, waiting for any plausible occasion to be sent. Saturday night was the occasion. The fountain story was the reason. Once you see that, you cannot un-see it. The question that follows is the only question that matters: why on earth would the entire weight of the Department of Justice be deployed on a Sunday morning, on twelve hours notice, with a pre-written argument unlocked by a security incident, to protect a building the President himself describes as a cover for the actual project.” – Audrey Henson / The Drey Dossier

Trump Administration Moves To Censor Speech And Posts On Social Media Following Staged Assassination Attempt – “Clearly the administration is going to use this to start clamping down once again on social media and restricting what we can and cannot say, and what we can read and watch.” – The WinePress

Cole Allen Hated the Democratic Party, Too – “Alleged shooter’s views are more mainstream than you’ve been told” – Ken Klippenstein

The Correspondents’ Dinner Shooting, Time Travel, and Solomon’s Temple: Conspiracy Roundup – “The online fallout from the Correspondent’s Dinner shooting has been an epic national Rorschach Test. False flag, sure — but for what purpose? Obviously, to catalyze support for the ever-important White House ballroom. Critics not only theorized the shooting was orchestrated to force the ballroom project, but that the construction was linked to — you guessed it — the Mossad. Allen was also said to be seen in old photos wearing an Israeli Defense Forces sweatshirt. Asked @NotOpCue: Why Did Cole Allen Have The Same Sweater As MOSSAD Pedophile Trafficker Jeffrey Epstein?” – Caden Olson – SWEATSHIRT/SWEATER PICTURE OBVIOUSLY AI, HAVE ALREADY SEEN TWO VERSIONS OF THIS PHOTO, ONE WHERE HE IS FLASHING A PEACE SIGN AND EMBLEM IS PARTIALLY COVERED, THE OTHE HAS A TOTALLY UNCOVERED EMBLEM AND NO HAND FLASHING THE PEACE SIGN!!!

Is Anyone Responsible for the WHCD Shooting Other Than the Shooter Himself? – “In the American tradition — legal and cultural — only those who commit violence are culpable, not those who express views that align with its perpetrators.While this framework of culpability may be understandable or appealing at first glance, it has an ugly and dangerous history. Every political faction has used it in an attempt to silence what are otherwise constitutionally protected ideas by conflating them with violence (“words are violence”). ” – Glenn Greenwald

The Iranians never had a nuke, had no near-term prospect of weaponizing their enriched uranium stockpiles, were not hell-bent on blowing up the world and were not two weeks from anything other than still another wolf-crying episode from the one actual “crazy” leader in the middle east. That would be Bibi Netanyahu. Hands down. But those truths did not stop the Donald from blatant lying and fear-mongering yet again today. And to even go so far as to imply that he has the mullahs by the short hairs.” – David Stockman

US Carrier Groups in Position for Next Round as Trump “Dissatisfied” With Iranian Demands – “Why is that ~300km range key? Because, those who read my breakdown of Iran’s anti-ship capabilities here will recall that Iran’s anti-ship ballistic missiles pretty much cap out at 300km range, which marks this as the exact distance that US carriers dare venture to near Iranian shores in order to stay just a hair’s length outside the envelop while still pretending to act ‘tough’ and show some kind of phony “resolve”. ” – Simplicius

Two Months of Senseless, Unnecessary War – “45 million people will be at risk of acute hunger if this keeps going into June.” – Daniel Larison

A Nation Divided: The Chilling Embrace of Political Violence in the United States – “We are seeing increasing support for violent action across social media, including those lamenting that the recent presidential assassination was not successful. Conservative sites have been featuring teachers and others who were upset that the recent effort failed, including one who has now lost her job. The current violence and violent rhetoric have been building for years as our leaders fuel the rage in the nation.” – Jonathan Turley

Trump’s Attorney General Attacks First Amendment – “The First Amendment protects unpopular, offensive, and hateful speech. Todd Blanche, Trump’s acting AG after he fired Pam Bondi, criticized millions of people on X and other social media for daring to take the president to task for his many breaches of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. During a news conference, the new AG included the non-assassination attempt on the president’s life and the now standard “manifesto” of the suspect released to the public to make the point somethng needs to be done about words the state considers terrorism.” – Kurt Nimmo

Why Trump is still supporting Kennedy…so far – “Because Kennedy’s name is KENNEDY, and Trump loves to be associated with prestigious names and people, particularly when he can play the dominant role.” – Jon Rappoport

UAE Leaves OPEC and OPEC+ in Huge Blow to the Cartel. What’s That Mean? – “The UAE decides that its best interests are leaving the group. Let’s discuss the implications.” – Mish

Chaos, Black Rain, Evacuations: Tuapse Oil Facility Struck For Third Time This Month – “One is left wondering, what about Russian defensive measures and why have these failed so spectacularly? First, it should be noted that small drones have become efficient and their size advantage is seen in evading conventional radar and anti-air missiles, by and large. TASS only has this to offer by way of official statement: “Intensive efforts are underway” to prevent Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory. The complex processes some 12 million metric tons of crude annually and remains a crucial and major export route for naphtha, fuel oil, and diesel.” – Tyler Durden

 

 

 

ECONOMIC NEWS

Productivity & Growth in America – An Economic Stagnation – “Big Pharma/Healthcare has become the defining industry driving America’s economy. In 2024, healthcare spending reached $5.3Trillion and employs over 18 million. It is the number two industry for spending and employment, second to the US Government. These two industries combined represent 28% to 30% of all US employment. They produce nothing of value to the economy, are both driven by sick people, and are the bulwarks and drivers of US growth.” – Helena Glass

55 Percent Of Americans Say That Their Financial Situations Are Getting Worse – That Is An All-Time Record High – Michael Snyder

Jamie Dimon warns of ‘some kind of bond crisis’ ahead as global debt risks build – “JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon on Tuesday warned that rising government debt levels could trigger a crisis in the bond market, urging policymakers to act before markets force their hand.” – Hugh Son

Welcome to the Silver War – “In which national interest trumps price. Silver is trending down this week. But that’s just the paper markets discouraging long futures contract holders from standing for delivery. Ignore it, because something much bigger is happening. China is on an epic silver buying spree.” – John Rubino

Title: Silver Is the Trade They Don’t Want You to Understand – “Silver doesn’t behave the way it “should.” That’s your first clue it’s not a normal market. One day war breaks out and silver drops. The next day ceasefire rumors hit and silver rallies. If you’re trying to trade headlines, you’re already behind the move. This is a pressure market, not a narrative market. Silver lives in two worlds at the same time. On one side you’ve got relentless industrial demand driven by AI infrastructure, solar expansion, and electrification. On the other side, you’ve got monetary demand that spikes during panic, distrust, and capital flight. Gold gets the attention, but silver is where the real stress builds.” – Kerry Lutz

The Day The Memecoin Dies – “It won’t be much longer. And they’ll all be vaporized at once. Memecoins are not businesses. They are not technologies in any meaningful sense. They produce nothing, fix nothing, and generate exactly zero in revenue unless you count the transfer of money from the last guy in to the guy just ahead of him. They are vapor. Digitized empty space. Financial air pockets passed hand to hand with a straight face, as if this is all perfectly rational behavior. And right now, it feels normal.” – Quoth the Raven

The Dollar’s Funeral Keeps Getting Rescheduled – Lance Roberts

What NO ONE Is Saying About Polymarket (VIDEO) – “Everybody’s talking about Polymarket…But what is Polymarket? How does it work? Where did this idea come from? And, most important of all, how is it going to be used to generate the next Predictive Programming False Flag event?” – James Corbet

The Small Farm Secret Nobody Talks About: Why Miniature Donkeys Might Be the Best Decision You Ever Make – “There’s a moment most homesteaders hit sooner or later. You’re standing out by the fence, looking over your land, and you start wondering what animal actually fits your place—something manageable, affordable, and worth the effort. Now here’s the part most folks miss. Miniature donkeys might be exactly what you’ve been looking for. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.” – Bill Heid

People Are Not Ready For Scarcity & Rationing. (VIDEO) – Modern Refugee

There’s $1,000 Hiding in Your …. Right Now. Here’s How to Cash It – “The average American household has between $500 and $1,500 in unused electronics lying around the house. Not broken stuff – working devices that got replaced by something newer and then forgotten. Old laptops are one of the most common things people keep for no good reason. The thinking is usually something like “I might need it as a backup” or “there might be files on there I need.” In most cases, neither of those things is true, and the laptop has been sitting untouched for two or three years. A laptop that’s three to five years old and still works can be worth $75 to $300, depending on the brand and specs.” – Jack

The Power of Daily Rituals When the World Feels Unstable – “If you are a student of survival, I probably don’t have to tell you how important the psychological aspects of survival are. In all but the briefest survival ordeals, most of those who die, do so because they gave up. Once a survivor loses the psychological battle, the loss of the physiological war soon follows.” – Cache Valley Prepper

Gardening and the Struggles – Part 1 – “I am going into my fifth year trying to garden here on my farm. I have ranching and farming neighbors who have been at it for generations, and their gardens are amazing. Mine? Not so much. ” – SaraSue

THE BIG PICTURE

Our Kids Are Failing In the Millions While We’re Out There Bleeding the Horizon – “And while we bled out there, the real knife went in at home. The enemies of everything beautiful, everything capable, everything good didn’t need tanks. They didn’t need our attention. They had schools. They had phones. They had the quiet, smiling agreement that the future belonged to them if they could hollow out the kids first. They fed boys the lie that their strength was poison. They fed girls the lie that their bodies were prisons. They pumped dopamine and despair through glass rectangles until half the teenagers couldn’t look their own parents in the eye without flinching. Depression rates like artillery barrages. Needles in arms before driver’s licenses. Criminal records before the first real job. Bodies sliced and hormones swallowed because some stranger with credentials said the hardware God issued was a glitch to be corrected.” – E.M. Burlingame

Loss of Depth – “What in God’s name has happened to our youth? Not all of them, not yet—but the affliction is spreading fast. What contagion has taken hold? I could name a dozen, but the one that troubles me most—and the one that flows from all the others—is the loss of depth. By that I mean the quiet abandonment of any real pursuit of meaning, the evaporation of purpose, and the slow death of genuine passion. Am I merely an alarmist? Would most people push back and say I’m exaggerating? Possibly. ” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

The Unease You’re Feeling Is Not an Accident – “As society accelerates in an uncomfortable direction, it’s understandable if you’re feeling anxiety. Now is the time to repurpose it into action.” – JD Rucker

The basics of universal basic income – The worst idea in the world right now. Universal basic income is the sort of idea that a semi-smart third grader would come up with right after they finally figured out that we can’t “just print money until everyone is rich” but have never seen a supply and demand curve before.” – El Gato Malo

The Fatrix: You Aren’t Lazy or Stupid. You’ve Been Chemically Managed Since Birth. – “Pick up a loaf of store-bought bread. Not the eleven-dollar artisan situation with a name like “Gunderson’s Heritage Ancient Grain Boule.” The regular bread. The bread in your house right now. Read the ingredient list, all of it, which will take approximately as long as reading the book of Numbers and is equally enjoyable. You will find azodicarbonamide, which is a dough conditioner also used in the manufacture of yoga mats (the same compound, in the bread AND the mat, this is not a metaphor, this is the label). You will find calcium propionate, which does not exist in nature and which Australian researchers linked to irritability and inattention in children. You will find high-fructose corn syrup in the BREAD. In the bread. A sentence that should not grammatically work. Your grandmother’s bread went bad in three days. It went bad because it was food. Food rots. The bread on your shelf right now will outlast the houseplants. It will outlast the leftovers.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

When morality is subjective – “Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of modern leftism is that these folks who will tell you they are very moral because they care about gay people and trans people and women and immigrants and everyone in the world except for the majority population in the United States will also celebrate the murder of Charlie Kirk, lament that the Trump shooter missed him, and think Luigi Mangione is just dreamy in looks and in deeds. In other words, their morality is subjective.” – Tom Knighton

America’s Neocolonial Wars – “Bombing and Killing Brown and Black People Globally.. America has a nasty—and uncoincidental—pattern of bombing and intervening in countries largely populated by nonwhite peoples. These are, essentially, exercises in neocolonial power. Recent targets include Venezuela, Yemen, Somalia, Nigeria, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya and now Iran. In U.S. political and media discourse, these nations are often framed as breeding grounds of “terrorists” and “militants” or as backward and unstable, words that carry unmistakable racial overtones.” – Bill Astore

The Teenage Bully Boy Who Got The War Toys – “Here he goes again. The phony “cease fire” is expiring Wednesday. So the Donald is back on the keyboard promising to obliterate what remains of Iran if the mullahs (or whoever) don’t raise the white flag of surrender forthwith. Yet in the unhinged outpouring of crude bellicosity below we get the sum and substance of why the War Capital of the World on the Potomac has metastasized into a Trumpian clown show of bombast, misanthropy and farce.” – David Stockman

A DEEPER DIVE INTO THE DONALD: The King’s Megalomania is Nearing its Imperial Zenith … and here is how the mad king got there. His megalomania has finally become so painfully OBVIOUS that, even several of his loudest and most popular (and often obnoxious) supporters are now insisting he be “Twenty-fifthed” before he causes serious damage to the US and the world.” – David Haggith

President Trump’s Narcissistic Intermittent Explosive Disorder – An IED Bomb – “Who has Trump not debased? A easy answer – Zionists. Twitter influencers are not a predicate to reality, they are paid. The Maga train is generous with Taxpayer funds. Top tier creators of illusions make hundreds of thousands if not millions peddling a solitary man because without this PR, too much Truth would reveal the clown behind the red curtain is just puffing smoke. By contrast, Bibi failed to get on the influencer train until after his reputation and respect had already dived deeply into twalette water. Along came Iran and Legos.” – Helena Glass

Palantir CEO Calls for Draft to Fight the Empire’s Wars – “National conscription, a form of involuntary servitude, and the wars it portends, is good for business, especially for corporations within the orbit of the Pentagon, the CIA, and the national security state. Palantir fits comfortably within this amalgamation. Project Maven is an AI-driven battlefield intelligence system designed by the corporation. The Defense Department, now known as the War Department, employed Maven in 2024 for “targeting support” in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen. Maven incorporates the AI model Claude, built by Anthropic. Maven, incorporating Anthropic’s Claude, was used to target the Shajareh Tayyebeh primary school in Minab, in southern Iran, killing 180 people, mostly young girls.

DoJ Opens Criminal Probe Into Meatpacking Cartel As Food Stocks Slide – “Shares of Tyson Foods and Smithfield Foods fell in late-morning trading in New York after The Wall Street Journal reported that the Justice Department’s antitrust division has opened a criminal probe into major meatpackers. The report follows President Trump’s push for an investigation into meatpackers as supermarket beef prices remain near record highs. Criminal antitrust cases are typically brought for alleged price-fixing, collusion, or bid-rigging. While the DoJ previously disclosed an investigation into beef companies after Trump called for action, it had not provided details on whether it was criminal.” – Tyler Durden  – ESTEIN, NOTHING TO SEE THERE ANYMORE; BUT BEEFPACKERS, LET’S GO AFTER THEM.

ECONOMIC NEWS

Argentina got this warning before its collapse. America just got it last week. – “In early December 2001, ‘normal’ life very suddenly ceased to exist in Argentina— anything that remotely resembled a functional society came to an abrupt end. And that is by no means an exaggeration. The banking system collapsed. Financial transactions ground to a halt. Desperate people looted supermarkets for food, and then grocery shelves emptied. Energy ran short. Riots broke out in the streets, and police were shooting citizens in the face. The crisis raged so much that the President of Argentina fled the country by helicopter. Even in early 2001, the same year as the crisis, IMF reports flagged Argentina’s soaring debt-to-GDP ratio, citing its “sharp deterioration in the public finances,” and deficits running well above the targets Buenos Aires had agreed to. Well, the United States just received the same warning from the IMF last week. Even the language in the report is eerily similar.” – James Hickman (Simon Black)

U.S. Fiscal Crisis: Gold&Silver Back in Focus – “In just the past week, the debt and deficits of the United States took further blows as spending increases, falling revenues, and geopolitical hostilities tightened the funding vice. Even if you’re primarily a precious metal investor, you’ve likely been distracted by war headlines for the past few weeks. Over that same time, however, other long-term headlines have surfaced that will greatly impact gold and silver over time. You may have missed them, so, for this week’s post, let’s recap.” – Craig Hemke

Peace Won’t Fix This: The Closure of the Strait of Hormuz Has Already Done Its Damage – “My point with the above outline is that this is an EXTREMELY complicated situation to navigate even if the cease-fire holds, peace breaks out, and there are no more disruptions to oil production or shipping in the region. Having said that, the main takeaway is clear: significant damage has been done to global oil supplies. According to HFI Research (a firm that specializes in energy/ oil analysis) even if the Strait of Hormuz is 100% open/ back to normal by April 30th, the total production outage related to the Strait closing will be ~1.12 BILLION barrels of oil.” – Graham Summers, MBA

The Economic Destruction of Trump’s War Goes Far Beyond High Gas Prices – “But the emphasis on pain at the pump threatens to badly understate the economic damage of this war. And it helps feed the false impression that, if this new attempt at a ceasefire holds and the war ends somewhat quickly, gas prices will fall back down as fast as they rose, and then all the global economic turmoil the world’s been worrying about will be avoided. It won’t. A lot of economic pain has already been locked in by this war. But to really understand it, it’s necessary to keep a few important economic truths at the front of our minds.” – Connor O’Keeffe

The Perfect Storm: America’s Deepening Drought… Soaring Input Costs… And What It Means For Your Food Supply – “A drought of historic proportions is tightening its grip across the American agricultural heartland, and the timing could not be worse. With fertilizer prices surging by double digits, the nation’s cattle herd at its lowest point in 75 years, and the critical spring planting season now underway, the conditions are aligning for a severe and sustained food price shock. For off-grid families and homesteaders, the message is clear: the time to prepare your soil and expand your garden is right now.” – Bill Heid

Pets During Disasters Statistics: The Brutal Reality Most Owners Ignore – “If you share your home with a dog, cat, or any other companion animal, you already know the bond goes deep. These creatures depend on you for everything: food, shelter, safety, and in the most terrifying moments of your life, survival. Yet when it comes to actual emergency planning, most pet owners are operating with a dangerous level of overconfidence. They assume they will figure it out when the time comes, grab the leash, toss the kibble bag in the car, and drive away. The pets during disasters statistics tell a very different story, and it is a story filled with preventable loss, frantic shelter-hopping, and heartbreaking reunification failures.” – Bob Rodgers

THE BIG PICTURE

35 Acres and the Scofield Bible (VIDEO) – “According to Hebrew scripture, the 35 acres of land in southeast Jerusalem known as, the Temple Mount, was originally a threshing floor for processing grain and was purchased by King David for the purpose of building an altar. The First Temple was built around 957 BC, stood for nearly four centuries, and was destroyed in 586 BC. It was this First Temple, Solomon’s temple, which became the symbolic importance of the Temple Mount. The Zohar and Kabbalah describe how the demon Asmedai taught Solomon how to control demons, which is how he built the Temple. The legend of King Solomon is arguably the foundation of all Western occultism. Cyrus Scofield received financial support from Samuel Untermeyer, a prominent Jewish Zionist and Scofield’s connection to the wealthy lifestyle of the Lotus Club in New York City. In 1909, with the prestige of Oxford University Press, a reference Bible was published with Scofield’s own notes printed in the same physical space as the biblical text itself. An ideal format to psychologically fool the reader into thinking these radical ideas are sacred text.” – Greg Reese  – VERY INTERESTING SHORT VIDEO FROM GREG. A MUST WATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

America’s Coup – The Evolution of Illuminati and Freemason Chabad – “Front and Center – Kushner. Named hundreds of times in the Epstein files, Kushner and Epstein socialized on a fairly regular basis as well as on a professional basis. Charles Kushner, Jared’s convicted felon father, has had a close relationship with Netanyahu for decades leaving the uncontested rumor open that he is a Mossad Agent as was Epstein. Jared and his father follow the Chabad Movement . An FBI memo within the Epstein release details the fact that Trump was compromised by Israel thru Epstein and Kushner. Berel Lazar, a Chabad-Lubavitch member, was formerly the Chief Rabbi of Russia and remains a close advisor to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Chabad is used by Putin to keep tabs on all the Russo-Jewish oligarchs. The memo asserts that Chabad is a major global source of money laundering. Tolerated.” – Helena Glass

‘Experts’ Know Less than They Think – “All ‘authorities’ should be challenged. It may be absurd to mindlessly trust the “expertise” of Dan Rather, Al Gore, Greta Thunberg, and Bill Gates, but it’s no less dangerous to mindlessly trust the “expertise” of someone whom Wikipedia would no doubt describe as a “real authority.” Dr. Anthony Fauci has all the credentials that people who enjoy credentials salivate over.” – J.B. Shurk

Operation Epstein Fury: It’s Jeffery’s War!- “Nobody Asked for This War, But Somebody Sure Needed It Bill Clinton sat for his deposition on February 27th. He raised his right hand, swore an oath before the House Oversight Committee, and spent several hours answering questions about why he treated Jeffrey Epstein’s child trafficking airline like a municipal bus route. The deposition videos were released to the public. America watched a former president try to explain away decades of flight logs with the energy of a man returning a rental car with a dent he’s hoping nobody notices. “I saw nothing and I did nothing wrong,” Clinton told the committee, which is technically a complete sentence and also the least convincing denial since Pete Rose swore he never bet on baseball. America had questions. Big ones. Uncomfortable ones. The kind of questions that make billionaires call their lawyers and presidents call their generals. On February 28th, the United States and Israel launched a surprise attack on Iran that killed the Supreme Leader, his daughter, his grandchild, and over a thousand civilians in a single morning. The files had become an extinction-level event for the entire American power structure.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

Washington’s Latest Big Lie: Iran’s 47-Year War On America, Part 3 – “If you don’t think the Big Lie about “Iran’s 47-Year War on America” has salience, just consider the words this AM of the Donald himself. In the most unhinged and belligerent public utterance of any POTUS in our lifetime, if ever, Trumpy informed the world that he’s getting his rocks off killing Iranians as punishment for their five decades of alleged terror: “Watch what happens to these deranged scumbags today. They’ve been killing innocent people for 47 years, and now I, as the 47th President of the United States of America, am killing them. What a great honor it is to do so!“ There you have it—the very words of a madman going to town on the Big Lie.” – David Stockman

Trump Says the Iran War Will End “When I Feel It in My Bones” – “Please recall Trump started this war on a “feeling” and poor advice.” – Mish

Pentagon Sends Marine Expeditionary Unit To Middle East, Oil Spikes On Ground War Fears – “Are we really doing this (again)? Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is reportedly alive but wounded, “damaged,” and “disfigured”” – Tyler Durden

The “New” Iran? What Happens Next – “The worst-case scenario is very, very bad: chaos. Think Libya 2011, or Iraq during the darkest days, but this time with ballistic missiles and maybe even some fissionable material loose among the competing factions. Only the most deluded in Washington and Tel Aviv think they know which scenario will be the next step in a new Iran. Only the most deluded in Washington and Tel Aviv think they will have significant influence themselves in what happens next.” – Peter Van Buren

Is there even an off ramp? – “The strategic paradigm regarding Iran has shifted fundamentally. And despite the calls for a ground invasion in some circles, and given the combination of current events on the ground, Iranian resiliance, and logistics, it is simply not possible. Central to this equation is the vindictive nature of President Trump, a trait that transforms geopolitical setbacks into personal grievances, compounded by the “Bibi factor”: Benjamin Netanyahu’s four-decade obsession with confronting Iran, now reaching a point of catastrophic desperation as every strategic avenue fails. Netanyahu has dedicated much of his political life to conflict with an emergent, Islamic Iran. For forty years, he has advocated, plotted, and pressured for decisive action. Now, with Israel under daily barrage and conventional options nearly exhausted, his influence on Washington becomes a volatile accelerant. ” – Ashes of Pompeii

Can Trump even stop the Iran war? – “The war which Trump started is back firing more and more each day. He has very little time left before America wakes up and realises what a dog’s breakfast he has made of it all.” – Martin Jay

Iran is not on a suicide mission. It is on autopilot. And nobody in Tehran can reach the controls. – “The question nobody has asked is whether anyone inside the Islamic Republic can turn it off. No. The reason is constitutional. Ali Khamenei issued the pre-delegation orders. Ali Khamenei is dead. Mojtaba Khamenei was appointed successor on 8th March. He has not spoken. He has not appeared. He has issued no verifiable order. He was wounded in an airstrike and has never addressed his nation in his life. The sole constitutional authority that could override 31 autonomous commands exists in an office occupied by a man who may not be capable of exercising it.” – Shanaka Anslem Perera on X  – DEFINITELY READ THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What If Every Billionaire’s and Senator’s Kid Could Be Sent to Fight in Iran? -“If the road to Tehran required the sons and daughters of the billionaire & political class to march beside everyone else’s kids, would we still be there? The human cost of war, in other words, gets hidden. But a fair national draft would change that overnight. It wouldn’t make America more warlike: history shows it would do the opposite. If every family knew their children could be sent to fight, Americans would demand diplomacy first, second, and third.” – Thom Hartmann

Would You Trust America? The Ailing, Flailing, Failing Empire – “If you were a foreigner (or even an American for that matter), you’d probably conclude that the word of the Trump administration is completely untrustworthy. Dastardly is another “d” word that comes to mind, along with destructive and deadly. Meanwhile, Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin is shocked, shocked, that Russia is aiding Iran. Russia has crossed the Rubicon here, Slotkin said; she seems to be suggesting that the U.S. widen the war with Iran to target Russia as well. World War III, anyone?” – Bill Astore

Every once in a while the media “discovers” something that has existed for roughly the entire span of modern human civilization but nevertheless announces it like an auctioneer for the House of the Obvious. This week’s breathtaking revelation appears to be that governments sometimes produce… propaganda. That’s right, the same institutions that brought you two unbroken years of dancing vaccine syringes, celebrity mask PSAs, brainwashing disguised as children’s programming, and a nonstop cable-news ticker of “Covid deaths” like the world’s most depressing stock market are shocked—shocked, I tell you!—to learn that the powers that be occasionally try to shape public opinion.” – Jenna McCarthy

Illinois pro-lifers demand answers from Gov. Pritzker on plans for pro-abortion amendment – “Concerns that JB Pritzker may be preparing a pro-abortion amendment prompted a request for documentation of any such plans under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.” – Calvin Freiburger

Russia Threatens to Turn Off Europe’s Gas – “Russia is threatening to embargo natural gas shipments to the European Union. This could double gas prices in Europe. Which could spark a recession, chase the rest of Europe’s heavy industry to America, and leave European households facing thousands in electric bills. Perhaps Europe shouldn’t have closed their coal plants to entertain climate activists.” – Peter St Onge

The Three Pillars of the Bull Case Just Crumbled. What Comes Next Could Be Ugly – “”One by one, the stock market bulls are running out of market props. Throughout the initial round of selling in in stocks, bullish investors pointed to aggregate breadth as indicating that there was underlying strength in the markets. Afterall, how could a bear market unfold if overall breadth is at all-time highs? Well, that argument is gone. Breadth has cratered, erasing nearly all its 2026 gains. – Graham Summers, MBA

Deutsche Bank Dumps After Flagging $30 Billion Exposure To Private Credit – “Yet another canary in the ever growing coalmine that is private credit appeared this morning as Deustche Bank’s annual report flagged a significant €26 billion ($30 billion) exposure to private credit, an asset class that’s grappling with fund redemptions, scrutiny of underwriting standards and the impact of AI on some borrowers such as software makers. As the slow-motion train-wreck gathers steam (most recently with Morgan Stanley, Cliffwater, and BlackRock gating investors in their private credit funds), investors are searching various financial entities balance sheets for exposures with the giant German lender itself warning:” – Tyler Durden

The Fed’s favorite price gauge shows sticky inflation — and little chance of improvement soon – “The core PCE price index has risen 3.1% in the past year. The Iran conflict will push it even higher.” – Jeffry Bartash

Core PCE Inflation Hits 3.1%, Worst in 2 Years, in Unique Twist Blows way past CPI Inflation. Driven by Core Services – “Energy spike is still to come. And today’s GDP inflation measure was revised up to 3.8%, worst since Q4 2022. The Fed needs to pay attention.” – Wolf Richter

Short-term pairs trade favours the dollar – “Gold and silver on pause as funk-money flies to $US. It is becoming clear that Iran is no push over and the economic consequences of this war are dire, with oil at $100 and going higher. The background to this week’s market report is spreading consequences of the joint US—Israeli attacks on Iran, with Iran effectively closing off the Hormuz bottleneck and spreading drone attacks throughout the region. Capital markets are trying to adjust to the economic and financial consequences of an oil price increasingly likely to be higher for longer.” – Alasdair Macleod

How Concerning Are the February Jobs Numbers? – “Slow job growth is expected when we remain near full employment and the working-age population is growing slowly.” – William J. Luther

 

 

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

10 GARDENING ITEMS YOU NEED TO HAVE – “Gardening is an essential skill. You need to know how to grow your own food. If times get hard, you can supplement your grocery bill by growing your own vegetables. You can grow your own vegetables for a fraction of the price of buying them at the grocery store. You also get the satisfaction of knowing you grew something. (It’s the best feeling ever!) Gardening is also a skill you want to master when the times get really bad. Seeds are cheap (stock up!) and provide so much food for the small investment. However, you do need to have some items on hand to help you garden.” – Erica Nygaard

How a Bread Machine Can Save You Time and Money – Daisy Luther

Start Replacing Cash with THIS Right Now! – “A stack of cash used to feel like a reliable backup. The role of cash is slowly shrinking. That matters more than it used to, because the world around the financial system is becoming less stable. That realization is pushing some people to rethink their backup plan. Instead of relying only on cash, they are starting to move part of their savings into something that does not depend on banks or digital networks.” – Kate L. Gilmour

Faith After the Fall: How People Keep Believing When the System Fails – Cache Valley Prepper

Preparing for Curfews: How to Stay Supplied During Civil Unrest – “Curfews tend to arrive with very little warning. One evening everything feels normal, and a few hours later your city is under restrictions and stores are closing early. It has happened before during riots, hurricanes, blackouts, and other emergencies, and it will happen again. For families who never thought about preparing for curfews, the scramble begins immediately, with people rushing to grocery stores and pharmacies trying to gather whatever they can before restrictions take effect.” – David Andrew Brown

THE BIG PICTURE

When Most Countries on Earth Do the Exact Same Thing at the Exact Same Time — It Is a Globalism Trap – “This is not a new concept, but one that has reached its pinnacle this century. The most defining moment of this evil collusive partnership of nations was exposed for all to see during the fake ‘covid’ hoax beginning in earnest in 2020. It was not the first time nor the last, but the curtain was pulled back and the government ‘Oz’ was fully undressed without apology; an open preview of the one world technocracy being structured as the new multi-technate order. At this point, the central controlling technate for this world takeover is the Technate of America, or the North American Technate. The plans for this coup were laid almost 100 years ago, but now are becoming a reality.” – Gary D. Barnett

How To Get Away with Murder – “10 steps that shield violent criminals from accountability and have killed rule of law under progressive jurisdictions. America’s justice system has been subverted. If you are a member of a protected class, you can get away with anything in a Bolshevik jurisdiction. Let’s put ourselves in a criminal’s shoes. Here are ten ways that the justice system protects you so that it is almost impossible for you to be sentenced to real punishment. Please note that this does not apply to conservatives – they will be thrown into the gulag for the same charges. They are bad people for noticing these patterns. The purpose of a system is what it does.” – Yuri Bezmenov

The Carefully Contrived Spontaneity of the “Shocking” Epstein Files Release – “Whenever a “scandal” like the Epstein files dominates the news, we can be certain that it is meant as a distraction from something more sinister on the horizon. The Epstein files have been in the hands of the F.B.I. for eight years or more. Then why have redacted files been released just recently? Cui bono?” – Edward Curtin

The Epstein Files: A Peek Behind the Dark Curtain, pt. 2 – “Cannibals, Jerky, and Human Hunting, oh my!” – Donald Jeffries  –  GOOD READ FROM DONALD, PART 1 WAS PREVIOUSLY LINKED ON 02/08/26!!!

A Field Guide to the Abuse of the Epstein Economy – “The Neuroscience, Economics, and Psychology of a System That Made Monsters Inevitable The files, as they stand, have already done “considerable” damage to some carefully constructed reputations. The Guardian — not historically a publication one associates with conspiratorial thinking — has run the headline that the Epstein files prove a large-scale global conspiracy really does exist. ” – A Lily Bit

European Central Bank Targets Mid-2027 For CBDC Pilot, Complete Rollout In 2029, Will Begin Selecting Licensed Payment Providers Soon – “We aim to be ready for a potential first issuance of the digital euro during 2029.” – The WinePress

WAR ABROAD, POISON AT HOME: Trump’s Executive Order to support Bayer & Israel Chemicals Ltd., the monopoly suppliers of phosphorus for weapons and weed killers – “Trump’s new Executive Order, “PROMOTING THE NATIONAL DEFENSE BY ENSURING AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF ELEMENTAL PHOSPHORUS AND GLYPHOSATE-BASED HERBICIDES,” reveals Bayer-Monsanto is a military contractor.” – Alexis Baden-Mayer

I told you so: Prasad-Moderna standoff lasted less than a week. FDA folded. Moderna’s mRNA flu poison will be rubber stamped later this year. – “Now I am even more convinced that the refusal to file was just a PR stunt, designed to generate MAHA headlines from all the usual bootlickers “ooooh, aaah, our heroes are fighting the evil BigPharmaaaah!” ” – Sasha Latypova

Trump Signs Bill Allocating $5.5 Billion For The Next Plandemic, Creates Backdoor Pathway For Continued Collaboration With The WHO – “It pays “for the transportation, medical care, treatment, and other related costs of persons quarantined or isolated under Federal or State quarantine law.”” – The WinePress  – OH, BUT WE GOT OUT OF THE WHO, REMEMBER, ANOTHER JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOUR RIGHT TO KNOW: Big Food’s War On Free Speech – “Eat up and shut up. That’s what Big Food wants us to do. Since the 1990s, they’ve been passing “Food Libel” and “Ag-Gag” laws to keep us from knowing where our food comes from and how it’s produced.” – Alexis Baden-Mayer

Pharmaceutical Mass Murder With Psychiatric Drugs – “ISince the 1990s, many high-profile shootings have involved individuals under treatment with SSRIs, SNRIs, benzodiazepines, or stimulants. Toxicology or medical record data occasionally surface later—often buried in court documents, but by the time they do, news coverage has moved on. n Every Case of Mass Killings, Never Mentioned Are the Pharma Drugs Shooters Are Taking” – Dr. Sircus

If You’re a Thinker—You’re a Non-Conformist – “Following geo-politics doesn’t make me grumpy, but researching a gloomy world assures gloomy articles. Whether Trump is as stupid as he seems, or simply paralyzed by his need for Netanyahu’s support and Miriam Adelson’s money? Beyond that, do you imagine Oval Office discussions having to do with destroying nations/conducting regime-change, which also ask whether such actions are constitutional or in any sense, just? If not—who the hell does Trump think he is? What’s new with Trump’s taking over the world campaign? Trump has a plan. He will contain/constrain China by cutting their ability to get necessary energy. This, of course, is illegal under international law (and not mandated executive powers), but with checks and balances haplessly strewn across the game board, who is there to care—that matters? Seizing ships is new. ” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com  – A GOOD ONE FROM ERIK ABOVE AND ERIC BELOW (THE TWO ERIC/Ks) AS I CALL THEM!!!!!

The Spanbergering – “As you no doubt know, Virginia has a new – very Left – governor and the very Left now controls the entirety of Virginia’s state government. This is interesting because the Left is mostly confined to the urban hive surrounding the federal capital and a few diaspora hives such as Richmond. It is interesting because if you look at one of those red-blue maps that depicts the political lay of the land, the state as a whole is overwhelmingly red – meaning not Left. Yet the Left controls the state – which means it controls, basically, everything going on in the state. Leftists especially dislike those who are not of their tribe – in particular, those who are not part of their apparat – having weapons of any kind but especially firearms. Those are for the praetorians who guard Leftists – and impose Leftism. That is why the Left, in Virginia, is in the process of illegalizing firearms in Virginia – but only as regards the not-Left that is to be (so it is hoped) rendered disarmed and so helpless against the Left. I live in a rural SW Virginia county where most people own more firearms than they do cars. Yet there is almost no “gun” crime to speak of. People still leave their homes unlocked – because it is safe for them to do so. Could that safety have anything to do with the fact that anyone contemplating a home invasion understands that he will likely not be dealing with disarmed and so defenseless homeowners? Spanberger is similarly protected. But she intends to assure everyone not of her class isn’t.” – Eric Peters

Trump’s border czar says a ‘small’ security force will stay in Minnesota – “A “small” federal security force will remain in Minnesota “for a short period of time” after the immigration enforcement crackdown ends, according to White House border czar Tom Homan. “We already removed well over 1,000 people, and as of Monday-Tuesday, we’ll remove several hundred more. We’ll get back to the original footprint,” Homan said, speaking on CBS’ Face the Nation on Sunday.” – Alina Selyukh

Former Prince Andrew arrested following Epstein files revelations – “Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on his birthday Thursday on suspicion of misconduct in public office.” – Alexander Smith and Jean-Nicholas Fievet

Prince Andrew’s 66th Birthday Symbolism – “All the King’s horses and all the King’s men won’t be able to put Prince Humpty back together again. Earlier today, the title-less Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on the morning of his 66th birthday by Thames Valley Police on suspicion of misconduct in public office. A curious charge and one not accompanied by any others as far as I can see—so far. No doubt, the choice of date to carry out his arrest was done with a little symbolism thrown in for good measure. To what end—who knows. Misconduct in public office is a common law crime in British law that theoretically can carry a maximum prison sentence of life imprisonment. Why didn’t Thames Valley police come knocking on his door in November 2019 after the Maitlis interview with an arrest warrant for misconduct in public office? Have the facts and evidence available in his case materially changed in the intervening six years? The only thing to really alter is the arrival of more publicity arising from further Epstein file releases and a couple of additional photos of Prince Andrew in very compromising positions.” – Gerry O’Neill  – GOOD READ FROM GERRY!!!

‘Free speech is pure bulls**t’ – Macron – “The French president has demanded transparency from social media platforms on how their algorithms operate” – RT

Another Undeclared Unconstitutional War?- “Iran in the Crosshairs. Strangely, nowhere in this article is it mentioned that U.S. military attacks on Iran legally require a Congressional declaration of war. Apparently, it’s all up to Mr. Trump and Israel whether Iran gets hammered soon. We the people have absolutely no say. The U.S. Constitution simply doesn’t matter. Iran poses no direct threat to U.S. national security. There is no clear and present danger; no defensible reason to launch yet another attack on Iran. Yet it seems those attacks will soon be coming,” – Bill Astore

Bad Boy Gives his Bad Report Card a Bad Report – “One way a bad boy might deal with a bad report card is to claim the teacher is lying or doesn’t know what she is talking about. Most bad boys, however, would be smart enough to figure out they can’t sell that excuse to mom or dad. Yet, that is the flimsy excuse Trump’s economic chief Hassett gave today for the bad report card delivered by the Fed over the damage being done by the Trump Tariffs to American businesses and consumers. White House economic advisor Kevin Hassett said Wednesday that the authors of a recent New York Federal Reserve paper that found U.S. companies and consumers are shouldering most of the tariff burden should be “disciplined.”” – David Haggith  – YEP, IT’S ALL THE MESSAGER’S FAULT!!!!!

Antifa’s days may finally be numbered – “But let’s not get too excited yet, either.” – Tom Knighton

The Rise of Thomas Massie — “A Libertarian disciple of Ron Paul has almost overnight become a political star. Israel and President Trump probably aren’t happy about this surprising development. From previous interviews with Rep. Massie, I know that the government of Israel, or at least its main lobbying group, the AIPAC, has made Massie target No. 1 for removal from the political stage. By now, everyone who follows politics also knows that President Trump has also gone out of his way to to try to make sure Massie is defeated in his upcoming re-election bid.” – Bill Rice Jr.

U.S. trade deficit is tariff-proof. Imports jump to record high in 2025. – “U.S. posts its third-largest trade deficit ever. China is a big loser, while Vietnam and Taiwan are winners. High tariffs were supposed to slash chronically large U.S. trade deficits. Turns out they really didn’t.” – Jeffry Bartash

No! The National Debt Problem Isn’t Getting Better! – “I see a lot of people out there in the world of social media claiming that Trump is solving the debt problem. One woman insisted that “Trump is paying down the debt!” However, despite all the talk about DOGE and spending cuts, despite all the chatter about tariff revenue plugging the budget hole, the national debt keeps getting bigger and bigger. Last October, U.S. government debt eclipsed $38 trillion. Just four months later, it’s approaching $39 trillion. Just since the first of the year, the national debt has ballooned by $300 billion. It rose by $145.7 billion in January alone. That’s roughly $50 billion per day!” – Mike Maharrey

Structural Shifts in a Still-Dollarized World – “The current state of de-dollarization resembles a long-term structural drift rather than a financial rupture; danger is not imminent, and the dollar remains at the center of global payments, funding, and trade.” – Peter C. Earle

Mortgage Recast Versus Refinancing: Which Works For You? – “There are ways to lower your monthly mortgage by using recasting or refinancing. Each option works differently, so it’s important to understand how they compare. Mortgage recasting is when you make a lump-sum payment to your principal balance. Once done, your lender then calculates a new, lower monthly payment. Your interest rate stays the same.” – Anne Johnson

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Why Survival Skills Matter More Than Gear: 5 Lessons From 25 Days on History Channel’s Alone The Beast – Jason Salyer

Community Defense in Canada: Building a Trusted Network Before Crisis Hits – “In Canada, real security rarely comes from isolation. It comes from coordination. Whether we’re talking about rural fuel theft, extended power outages, wildfire evacuations, or civil disruptions, the households that fare best are the ones that are connected — quietly, deliberately, and legally. Preparedness culture sometimes romanticizes the lone homestead. But even a well-equipped family cannot maintain 24-hour awareness, manage mechanical failures, respond to medical emergencies, and monitor their surroundings indefinitely. Fatigue alone makes that impossible.” – denob

Prepper Blacklist: 10 Items They Don’t Want You To Buy – “When it comes to emergency preparedness, most of us are just trying to prepare for the worst and learn how to take care of our families in a crisis. We’re not looking for trouble. But what if some of the very tools we rely on in emergencies are raising red flags? What if buying certain survival items is enough to land you on a list you never knew existed? Nowadays, nothing you do on the Internet is private. Even if you use a VPN, companies like Palantir and Microsoft can find ways to track and record everything you do, especially everything you purchase.” – Alan Urban

Late-Winter Bee Survival: The 60-Day Danger Zone Every Off-Grid Keeper Must Beat – Bill Heid

Mobile Device Battery Management – Part 1 – “There have been many articles by myself and others on SurvivalBlog that discuss the use of mobile electronic devices such as radios, flashlights, cell phones, red dot sights, drones, cameras, etc. for emergency preparedness and disaster scenarios. The one thing all such devices have in common is that they require power of some sort, usually in the form of a battery, and without power those devices are about as useful as a paper weight. When using mobile electronics you want to be able to operate them as long as possible without having to change batteries or recharge them – that’s where battery capacity comes in. ” – J.M.

THE BIG PICTURE

Did Trump Just Dump Us? – “With millions of other Americans, I voted for Donald Trump in part to get us out of other peoples’ sandboxes in all parts of the world. So how has it happened that we will now “run” Venezuela? From a troubling venture into another country’s internal affairs, President Trump is now leading us into something out of a comic opera, an American invasion of Denmark. Denmark has already offered us everything we need in Greenland: military bases, mineral rights, good spots for whale watching, etc. What do we do if, following an American invasion of Greenland, Denmark invokes Article 5 of the NATO treaty whereby an attack on one member is considered an attack on all? Will we see American troops under NATO command fighting other American troops taking orders from President Trump?” – William Lind

What is left of America? – “Why is President Trump picking fights with Venezuela, Columbia, Mexico, Cuba, Denmark, Iran, Russia, and China when he cannot even put down insurrection inside his own country? Is he unable to govern at home and covers up this fact by claiming to govern foreign countries? Why is it more important to steal Venezuela’s oil and Denmark’s territory then to put down treasonous insurrection on the part of the Democrat party in the streets of the United States?” – Paul Craig Roberts

Murphy’s Laws, Empires, and the Dialectic – “Empires always begin with an incredible amount of luck that never lasts” – Ohio Barbarian  – GOOD READ FROM THE BARBARIAN!!!

Why Did It Take Mark Carney Saying “New World Order” for People to Listen? – “They Told Us Years Ago … We Just Didn’t Want to Hear It” We’ve been conditioned to treat truth as legitimate only when it comes from sanctioned authority … central bankers, global institutions, or credentialed insiders. When independent voices warn us, we’re taught to doubt them, label them as conspiracy theorists. When wanna be power aka Carney admits it openly, can we finally pay attention? That’s the real problem.” – Connie Shields

Western Megabanks Are Now Going All-In On Bitcoin, Stablecoins And Tokenization – “Big banks aren’t debating crypto anymore — they’re building it. From tokenized cash to ETFs, Wall Street is quietly going onchain.” – The WinePress

The Plaque-Reversing Study Cardiology Willfully Ignored for Over Two Decades – “The Story of a 2004 Study That Should Have Changed Everything. What happened next defies everything we’ve been told about the irreversible march of cardiovascular disease. One group reversed. The other progressed. Divergent trajectories from matched starting points. The only variable was a food. The intervention was almost absurdly modest: roughly 50 milliliters of pomegranate juice daily—about what you’d pour into a small juice glass. ” – Sayer Ji  – A MUST READ FROM SAYER!!!!!!!!!!

Your Grandchildren Will Be Ruled by Robots Unless You Pay Attention Right Now – “5 Million Shitty Jobs, 5 Million Robots, and a Plan You’re Not Supposed to See. The energy requirements for AI are astronomical. The cooling requirements are even worse. Greenland offers both in unlimited quantities, far from prying eyes, far from environmental regulations, far from anyone who might ask uncomfortable questions about what exactly is being built out there in the frozen wasteland. This is not about protecting America. This is about building the infrastructure for a future that most Americans have not even been told about yet. And you are not invited to that future by the way. You are the labor they are trying to replace.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

NEWS

On ICE? – “The tactics we’re all seeing – masked/heavily-armed “agents” snatching people off the street and shoving them into often-unmarked vehicles – are immensely stupid or immensely evil. Which do you suppose is more likely? It is stupid to do it this way because it is not necessary to do it this way. It is gratuitous – and that is politically stupid. If the desire is to deal with the problem of illegal aliens accessing taxpayer-financed government services, then it’d be much more effective – as well as right – to just cut off the services to people who have no legal right to them because they have no legal right to be in this country. Trump loves to issue edicts. Well, why not issue an edict that requires proof of citizenship as a mandatory condition of receiving any taxpayer-financed services? None of this would require masked/heavily armed “agents” Hut! Hut! Hutting! on American streets. Put another – more important – way, none of this would entail Americans getting used to the sight of masked/heavily armed “agents” Hut! Hut! Hutting! on America’s streets. This is something at least as dangerous as the normalization of seeing “masked” American citizens on American streets” – Eric Peters

The Government from Hell – “Donald Trump and the destruction of the world” – Philip Giraldi

Trump’s Neo-Colonialist Reach-Around – “The MAGA voting bloc may have been willfully deceived, but one year into Trump 2.0, it is kind of obvious who is getting the shaft, and how Trump’s neocolonialism is actually working. The American Republic was a hard won escape from European serfdom and British colonialism. The evolution of the United States into global empire is the most fundamental problem that faces America. Yet this is a problem Trump celebrates rather than rejects. His enthusiasm for control of everything from electricity prices, state ownership of portions of major industries, personal direction of trade policy and visas, random bombing and regime changes, and forced takeovers of desired foreign real estate all violate the literal US Constitution in terms of permit and process.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

Trump Will Take Greenland … And Then Go For More – “Trump will continue to demand Greenland until something is done by Europe to decisively stop him.” – Moon of Alabama

Monsters of the Deep – “Minneapolis, the sucking chest wound on America’s body politic, gets a break this week from Gawda’mighty, who is turning the heat down to subzero so that ICE-Watch nose-rings can hole-up in their Soros-paid motels, play League of Legends with their DoorDashed Chick-fil-A nuggets, and rest up for the next inning of their motley revolution. ICE itself might even have to lay off its daily round-up of rapists, cut-throats, and child-molesters, to wait out the cold-snap. Meanwhile, things elsewhere roughen up a little. For instance: Davos, Switzerland, where the World Economic Forum (WEF) holds its annual jamboree of vampire squids. Klaus Schwab is out, by the way. He skulked off in a malodorous cloud of embezzlement and sexual irregularities, to be replaced by Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, the hedge fund that owns everything in the USA and wants more.” – James Howard Kunstler

A DEEPER DIVE into the Chaos – “Or, as I now call it, the “Chaos of Peace.” The whole world took a deeper dive into chaos this week as the Peace President rapidly expanded his war threats around the globe.” – David Haggith  – GOOD INFORMATIVE READ FROM DAVID!!!!!!!!!

All Eyes Now turn to Palestine as Trump Unveils his “Board of Peace” for Gaza Which Could Replace the UN – “The Trump Administration sent shock waves across the world on Friday when the White House announced a new “Board of Peace” that is allegedly part of the next phase of the plan to take over Gaza. The Board consists of heads of states and billionaires. Trump was announced as the Chairman of the Board, and other countries can allegedly buy a “permanent” membership (if they are invited by Trump) to the new Board with an investment of $1 billion U.S. dollars.” – Brian Shilhavy

Putin offered seat on Trump’s peace council – Kremlin – “The body proposed by the US president is intended to manage Gaza following the Hamas-Israel war” – RT

Empire of Chaos, Plunder and Strikes in panic of being evicted from Eurasia – “Tehran will never bow down to the diktats. The neo-Caligula regime change obsession – in fact mirrored as a NATOstan obsession – will keep ruling. Tehran is not intimidated.” – Pepe Escobar

The Barking Madness of Trump’s Minneapolis Overkill, Part 1 – “According to Grok 4 there are now about 3,000 Federal law enforcement agents in the Twin Cities, including ICE, Border Patrol, FBI, DEA, Federal Marshals and sundry others. So if we prorate this army of cops by population among the two cities, the implied number of Federal law enforcement agents in Minneapolis is about 58% of the total or 1,740. Actually, what we are getting at is that according to the FBI crime statistics for the most recent complete year (2024), Minneapolis reported 76 homicides and a total of 4,955 violent crimes, including murder, negligent homicide, rape, robbery and aggravated assault. So that means the Donald’s surge of Federal agents to Minneapolis pencils out to— 23 Feds per annual homicide. one Fed for every 2.85 violent crime of all types. We either have a Federal system in which police work is preponderantly delegated to state and local governments or we have a centralized monster that is the very antithesis of our Constitutional order.” – David Stockman

Yesterday Cameras Rolled While Conservatives Were Hunted – “What happened in Minneapolis should disturb anyone who still believes journalism is a civic vocation rather than a predatory trade.” – Alexander Muse / Amuse on X

ECONOMIC NEWS

And Now For Something Completely Different – “Rising risks, geopolitical positioning, conflict, and strategic compression will be the themes for coming decade. Who will rise, who will fall? What are the implications for markets. Do not expect easy answers. This is unlikely to play out as anyone predicts.” – Bill Blain

Countdown to May Madness – “May 2026 cannot come soon enough for Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. That’s when his term is up. He can hang around as a Fed governor until 2028. Though, in the past, most Fed chairs have stepped down when their term is over. Perhaps he will get picked up by one of the big banks and get paid big bucks. Or maybe he’ll write a book and go on a speaking tour and collect big fees. Or, if he’s smart, he’ll go fishing, indefinitely. Who knows? In the meantime, he’s got President Trump and the Department of Justice (DOJ) all over his backside.” – MN Gordon

Inflation: A Dirty Word for “Accommodation” – “As a “stealth tax,” inflation requires no legislation to impose, no agency to collect, and diverts responsibility for damages onto politicians’ favorite whipping boys. It gives government the ability to buy almost anything for nothing, while creating endless problems that serve as a pretext for intervention. Inflation is the foundation of arrogant government and a prescription for our own demise. Government inflates through its central bank, the Federal Reserve System. ” – George Ford Smith

Michael Oliver: Why Silver at $500 Isn’t Crazy – and Why We’re Still Early – “With gold potentially on its way to $8,000, a 3%–6% ratio implies silver between $240 and $500. That mathematical relationship — not hype — underpins Oliver’s “couple hundreds” forecast” – The Silver Academy

Exuberant Silver Investors on Hair Trigger, Susceptible to Overhype – “A rumor has been circulating on social media that the U.S. Mint is PLUM OUT of silver… implying silver will soon become “unobtainium” across the board. The evidence loosely backing the claims is a notice on the U.S. Mint website, which is, indeed, not selling certain collectible silver items for now.  In order for the Mint to adjust to the growing demand in silver and silver coin buying, and to continue profiteering off of the public with their high-margin “collectibles,” government managers needed to put a pause on silver sales until they can determine new product pricing. Conspiracy theories, hearsay, and precious metal dealer hype may have contributed to a misunderstanding that there is little to no silver available in the market.” – Joshua D. Glawson  – NOTICED THEY HAVE REPRICED SOME OF THEIR EAGLE TO $175, QUITE A MARK UP, I WOULD SAY!!!

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Year-Round Prepping Plan: What to Prepare Each Month Before Crisis Hits – “Most people do not fail at preparedness because they lack concern or awareness. They fail because they try to do too much too fast, get overwhelmed by choices, and eventually abandon the effort altogether. One stressful weekend turns into a cart full of random gear, followed by months of neglect, poor storage habits, and equipment they never properly learned how to use. That pattern creates the illusion of readiness while leaving real vulnerabilities untouched. A year-round prepping plan corrects this by imposing structure, pacing, and clear priorities. ” – Bob Rodgers  – GOOD ONE FROM BOB. ALWAY LIKE HIS ARTICLES!!!!!!!!

There Isn’t Just One Way to Prep – “We all have different budgets, different lifestyles, different homes, and different skills. Trying to say that there’s only “one way” to prep is honestly ridiculous. We all have variables:” – Daisy Luther

Mobility & Transportation in a Canadian Emergency – “Mobility is one of the most deceptively complex areas of preparedness. Many people assume transportation planning begins and ends with a reliable vehicle, but in Canada, mobility is a system, not a possession. Winter weather, fuel distribution, long rural distances, limited road redundancy, and fragile digital infrastructure all combine to make movement during an emergency far more dangerous than most people anticipate. Preparedness is not about moving fast — it’s about maintaining choice when others have lost it.’ – denob

How To Store Your Dried Plants (For Years) – Steve Nubie

How to Improve Vocational Skills – “Let me tell you something most people don’t want to hear. If the system hiccups for even a short time, a scary number of people would have absolutely no idea what to do next. Not because they’re stupid. Not because they’re lazy. But because modern life trained them to depend on everything working perfectly. Electricity always on. Stores always stocked. Someone else always fixing the problem. That illusion is cracking fast. ” – Ask A Prepper Staff

THE BIG PICTURE

Secret ‘Antichrist’ Conferences. Robot Factories. Greenland Annexation. What the Hell Is Going On? – “I Voted for Trump Twice. Now I’m Watching Him Help Billionaires Build a Techno-Fascist Nightmare.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf and Lily-Rose Dawson

Prophecy and mythology – “The word “debunked” gets thrown around an awful lot by the leftist media, and it’s amazing how often it really boils down to “we said it’s false and that’s all you need to know.” In 2009, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin created a sensation when she claimed that government-run healthcare would inevitably lead to the creation of bureaucratic boards responsible for deciding who should and shouldn’t receive treatment. It’s from this charge that we got the term “death panel,” which became a near constant reference during the congressional debate over the passage of the Affordable Care Act. Palin was called a loon and a crank. Fifteen years after Palin’s remark, disability advocate Krista Carr testified before members of the Canadian parliament that her organization receives weekly reports of medical assistance in dying (MAID) services being suggested unprompted to disabled individuals during routine, non-terminal care visits. Who could have predicted that government-controlled healthcare, combined with legalized euthanasia, would eventually lead to the sick and uncomfortable being told to kill themselves? Where does Palin go for her apology?” – Tom Knighton

4 Things To Pray When Making Decisions – “When you’re just not sure what God is telling you to do” – Kate Dreston .

ENSO: The Pacific’s Climate Powerhouse – “The overlooked engine behind global temperature spikes and U.S. weather whiplash. To understand ENSO, let’s start with the basics – no advanced physics required, just some ocean and atmosphere fundamentals. The El Niño-Southern Oscillation is a natural climate pattern in the tropical Pacific Ocean that flips between three phases: El Niño (warm), La Niña (cool), and neutral. It’s driven by interactions between the ocean and the atmosphere, specifically trade winds, sea surface temperatures (SSTs), and air pressure differences. Here’s how it works: ” – Dr. Matthew Wielick

HHS Secretary RFK Jr. Announces New Dietary Guidelines Elevating The Radical Notion Americans Should Eat Real Food. “Protein And Healthy Fats Are Essential And We’re Ending The War On Saturated Fats.” – Celia Farber

Scientists Create Fully Autonomous Micro Robots That Can THINK, Swim, Swarm In Groups and Survive For Months On Light – “Humanity is getting another step closer to the Technocratic Transhumanist Agenda, in which nano and microrobots will not only perform sensing functions but would have the goal according to Ray Kurzweil, to replace humans Atom by Atom. What is so special about these new robots? They are fully autonomous, have a full computer system within them and can think for themselves!” – Ana Maria Mihalcea, MD, PhD

NEWS

“Ending the Grip of The Neocons” – “Col. Doug Macgregor was talking with Andrew Napolitano the other day – the day after Trump channeled his inner Chimp and “regime changed” Venezuela on behalf of (among others) his big business buddies in the oil and other natural resources extraction businesses – when he mentioned what RFK, Jr. said to a crowd at a Trump rally back in 2024. It is worth remembering: Don’t you want a president, Kennedy asked, who will “end the grip of the neocons?” By which he meant the Israel Firsters who pretend to be “conservative” so long as it advances the interests of Israel.” – Eric Peters

Trump Embraces the World and Breaks it – “Trump’s team became surprisingly outspoken—even transparent—about their imperial designs today. Team Trump spent today doubling down on US imperialism in surprisingly stark language about the United States’ right to take over and control whatever it wants! I’ve never heard such a blatant embrace of imperialism in the US before.” – David Haggith

Reflections from the Heart of the Empire: Misadventures and Distractions – “No, Palestine, I did not forget you. No, Zionists, I didn’t forget you, either, and I think I will live long enough to see the death of your dark, atavistic dream because It is also inevitable that our Mad Emperor will face severe backlash from his latest misadventure in Venezuela. Ipsos did a snap poll, and it is not good news for the Man with the Golden Crapper.” – Ohio Barbarian

Stop the Steal: Projection, Retaliation, and the Theft of Our Republic – “There’s an old saying that when you point a finger at someone, there are three fingers pointing back at you. It’s what psychologists refer to as projection—the act of accusing others of the very misconduct one is engaged in. While politicians of all political stripes are guilty of projection, Donald Trump, aptly dubbed a “master of projection,” could teach a master class in accusing others of wrongdoing of which he is guilty.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

Hey, POTUS, Venezuela’s Orinoco Belt Ain’t No Ghawar, Part 2 – “The Venezuela saga gets more cockamamie by the day. It turns out that the predicates for kidnapping the president of a country that poses no threat whatsoever to America’s Homeland security are about as threadbare (and even comical) as they come. For instance, did the DOJ writers of the superseding indictment of Maduro and his misses not turn bright red with embarrassment when penning this gem: “Possession of machine guns and destructive devices” and “conspiracy to possess machine guns and destructive devices” in furtherance of the narco-terrorism and cocaine importation conspiracies. WTF! For better or worse, the man was the president of a sovereign nation-state, and the very essence of such institutions is that they have all the guns or at least most of the big, really lethal ones such as military-style machine guns.” – David Stockman

What Would Smedley Butler Say about Venezuela? – “A Banana Republic dependent on oil to sustain its living standards, problems with heavy, high sulfur content crude, butthurt Exxon-Mobile and ConocoPhillips, and crippling U.S. sanctions” – John Leake

¡Don’t Cry For Me, Venezuela! Nicolás Maduro’s downfall and the future of the West.. – “If Maduro was, indeed, an illegitimate dictator, why hand the leadership baton to his equally illegitimate Vice President, Delcy Rodríguez, and not to the candidate who was, until five minutes ago, officially recognized by the US (and many others) as the country’s true leader, Edmundo González (or his Nobel Prize winning backer, María Corina Machado)? Was Maduro’s capture “pre-arranged,” as some have suggested, staged for all the world to see? ” – Joel Bowman

Boast Loudly and Swing a Big Stick – “An Exceptional Thugocracy. The Donroe Doctrine is really about military aggression without respect for international law. President Teddy Roosevelt famously said: “Speak softly and carry a big stick.” Favor diplomacy, but be prepared to use force when necessary. The Trumpian version is “Boast loudly and swing a big stick.” It’s the language of would-be conquerors, of imperators, of tyrants.” – Bill Astore

Trump and Rubio’s Gusano Cronies Teed Up to Loot Venezuela (VIDEO) with Max Blumenthal and Judge Napolitano – The Grayzone

U.S. Captures Russia-Linked Tanker After Naval Standoff in the North Atlantic – “U.S. forces have seized a Russia-flagged tanker in the North Atlantic after a dramatic pursuit that began near Venezuelan waters, marking a sharp escalation in Washington’s enforcement of its global blockade on sanctioned Venezuelan oil. According to the Wall Street Journal, Russia deployed naval assets — including a submarine — to escort the vessel through the North Atlantic and requested that U.S. forces cease pursuit. Some analysts note that the use of a submarine strongly suggests the operation involved more than routine sanctions evasion, with behavior resembling a protected military or intelligence transfer rather than a commercial oil shipment. The incident underscores the Trump administration’s willingness to enforce its Venezuela oil blockade far beyond the Caribbean.” – Tom Kool

Immigration Agents Surge Into Minneapolis in ‘Largest Operation Ever’ – “Thousands of federal agents and officers spread across the Minneapolis–St. Paul area Tuesday.” – Jill McLaughlin

ICE Agent Shoots Woman Attempting To Run Over Officer During Minneapolis Illegal Alien Crackdown – “A federal immigration officer shot and killed a person whom Homeland Security described as a “violent rioter,” while local Democratic lawmakers said she was a “legal observer,” after DHS said she attempted to run over an agent. Video of the deadly shooting has surfaced on X, showing an ICE agent asking the woman, who was blocking the street with an SUV, to step out of the vehicle. She did not comply and instead accelerated toward another agent, at which point the agent fired multiple rounds into the vehicle, striking the woman, who died moments later. New angle from the ICE involved shooting in Minneapolis shows the woman CLEARLY hitting the agent with her car before he fires at her” – Tyler Durden

Mamdani’s Clown Show Offers Its Opening Act – “World Cup tickets. Rising subway fares. Magical “briefings”. And he’s only been in office a week. Zohran Mamdani promised a political revolution. What New York received in his first hours as mayor was a seminar in how slimy, two-faced doubletalk can face-plant when its reality is laid bare.” – Quoth the Raven

EU Strategery – “The EU, so desperate to exert their dictatorial powers, to feel the exhilarating rush of adrenaline from smashing someone’s face with the butt of a rifle, has revealed itself. It is that rarest of all birds, both fascist and communist in its outlook on the world. Having been able to conquer most of Western Europe with a simple change in immigration policy it is heady with success, brazen and anxious to lead the entire world from a small office in Brussels. The aggressive, hostile EU is like a drunk trolling a bar looking for a fight. It’s a different world, now, and these peons who run the EU and NATO believe that because big brother might be able to beat up some drunk in a bar, inciting violence to invoke it is stupid. But that’s the course they’ve chosen. Only now, they seem to believe that they are the puppet masters of the world. It’s bold, I have to give them that, but anyone can see through their tactics.” – T.L. Davis

Germany Is Competing With Poland To Lead Russia’s Containment – “Regardless of whoever comes out on top in this rivalry, the US still wins since they’re both NATO members, but a NATO-Russian Non-Aggression Pact should follow in any case for managing tensions.” – Andrew Korybko

ECONOMIC NEWS 

Job openings slide to 2nd lowest level in 5 years as hiring remains sluggish – “U.S. employers posted far fewer jobs in November than the previous month, a sign that employers aren’t yet ramping up hiring even as growth has picked up.” -Christopher Rugaber

Why Silver Is Not in a Bubble – “Amid silver’s recent surge following a long period of stagnation, a wave of articles and commentaries has emerged calling its rise an unsustainable bubble that’s about to burst and burn investors. I firmly disagree with their assessment, and in this report, I will prove that silver is not in a bubble by examining a wide range of valuation metrics.” – Jesse Colombo

Bank of America Escaping Shorts, Going NET Long & Calling Out $309 per Ounce Silver. – “Ratio-based target Widmer notes the current gold–silver ratio near 59:1 versus historical lows around 32:1 in 2011 and 14:1 in 1980.​ Applying those low ratios to a possible $5,000 gold price implies silver between roughly $135 and $309 per ounce.​” – The Silver Academy

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Winter Shelter Failure Points Canadians Ignore Until the House Becomes Unlivable – “By mid-winter, most Canadian households are no longer planning — they are committed. Heat sources are chosen, windows are sealed, routines are fixed, and fuel is already being consumed. This is precisely why winter shelter failures become dangerous. Once temperatures remain below freezing for weeks at a time, there is very little room left to adapt. Cold itself rarely forces people out of their homes. What actually does it are internal shelter failures:” – denob

What a Green Beret Would Say about Your Guns – “What Green Berets Understand About the Second Amendment. My friend used to say that he doesn’t see the Second Amendment as a talking point or a bumper sticker slogan, but as a practical recognition of human nature and history. Having seen fragile governments collapse and stable societies unravel much faster than anyone expected, he views civilian gun ownership as a stabilizing force rather than a threat.” – Justin K

Why Every Homestead Orchard Is a Medicine Cabinet in Disguise – Bill Heid

How Much Electricity Does a Pellet Stove Use? (Watts, Amps & Power Outage Backup) – “Most pellet stoves use 80–150 watts while running, with a brief startup draw of 300–500 watts. Most pellet stoves require electricity to run the auger, combustion fan, and exhaust fan, even though they burn pellets for heat. If you’re wondering how many watts or amps a pellet stove uses, or whether it can run during a power outage, this article answers both.” – Ken Jorgustin

SPECIAL VENEZUELAN NEWS ADDITION ( DAY 2 )

LOTS OF GOOD AND VARYING OPINIONS HERE FOR YOU TO READ AND DECIDE FOR YOURSELF.

TMM (Trump’s Macho Madness) – “Needless to say, the Donald is apparently not to be outdone by Tricky Dick in the stupidity department. The stated purpose of his invasion of Venezuela during the wee hours on Saturday and the kidnapping of its pajama-clad president was the latter’s alleged violation of America anti-cocaine laws. As to when, in the first place, Washington was seconded by god or the UN the right to impose and enforce its dubious domestic prohibition laws on the sovereign territory of other nations, our teetotaling president did not say.” – David Stockman

Badass – “It had become obvious, as Mr. Trump and Secretary Rubio explained over the weekend, that Venezuela under Sr. Maduro had become a platform for nefarious adventurism by America’s adversaries, especially the CCP, which was very active all around South America prepping various countries to join its “Belt and Road” initiative, which is to say its proposed global colonial resource network (a.k.a. empire). The day before he was snatched, Sr. Maduro had a visit with CCP emissaries. China had all kinds of deals going in Venezuela, especially for oil. The oil is obviously a big part of the picture.’ – James Howard Kunstler  – NOT SURE I TOTALLY AGREE WITH MR. KUNSTLER’S ASSESSMENT ON THIS ONE, BUT WE SHALL SEE!!!

America the Rogue State – “The evisceration of the rule of law at home and abroad solidifies America as a rogue state” – Chris Hedges

“The Donroe Doctrine”: Are Cuba, Colombia And Mexico The Next Targets, Or Will Someone Else Be First Instead?- Michael Snyder

So… About That Trump–Venezuela Thing (VIDEO) – M.D. Creekmore

Dominos Falling: Trump Tells Press On AF1 That The US Is “In Charge” Of Venezuela, Threatens Imminent Military Action Against Colombia, And Says “Cuba Is Ready To Fall;” Also: “We Need Greenland.” – “This really is one hell of a weekend.” – Celia Farber

Major Questions Finally Answered About Trump’s Venezuelan Adventure – “U.S Secretary of State Marco Rubio admits that abducting Maduro did not solve anything: “All of the problems we had with Maduro when Maduro was there. We still have those problems in terms of them needing to be addressed. We are going to give people an opportunity to address those challenges and those problems. Until they address it, they will continue to face this oil quarantine. Drunk with power, it seems Trump has become a rabid mad dog attacking the entire world at the behest of his Israeli masters. But to accelerationists like myself, it’s not an altogether terrible development as it hastens the awakening of the world to the US’s naked imperialism, which can only embolden the Global South and other resistance movements. As if those threats weren’t enough, today Trump’s admin again reiterated their intent to take Greenland by force, with wife of Trump advisor Stephen Miller, Katie Miller posting this earlier:” – Simplicius

First Venezuela, Next Iran? – “Reports of unusual American military activity in skies over Europe…”- Tyler Durden

The Real Reason the Pentagon Approved Venezuela: Critical Minerals and Adversary Expulsion. – “Understanding the Decision Architecture Before examining the strategic calculus behind the January 3, 2026 military operation in Venezuela, it is essential to understand who actually makes decisions of this magnitude. In the American national security apparatus, the Pentagon does not await presidential direction on major military operations. The Pentagon assesses threats, evaluates strategic priorities, and determines when military action crosses from option to necessity. The president then executes what the military establishment has already decided is required. This is not constitutional theory. This is operational reality. Trump’s public statements about oil and his claim that Venezuela’s resources will benefit the United States represent the political narrative constructed to sell the operation domestically. The Pentagon’s determination that adversary presence and critical mineral vulnerabilities required kinetic action represents the actual decision calculus.” – Tracy (chi)  – INTERESTING READ.

THE BIG PICTURE

Trying to replace the American dream – In moderation, tolerance is a virtue but in excess it becomes the direst of vices. Zohran’s inuagural speech was quite the revelation.” – El Gato Malo

Remigration NOW. A Cat 5 Hurricane Builds Across the West. – “If someone gave a certain order – there’s a few influential people at ground level – if we gave a certain order, all hell would erupt in the U.K. The troops are aligned, the armies are behind certain people, if certain people said, “enough’s enough”, and they pressed a certain button, you’d have an army of millions who would wipe this place out. “What would cause that button to be pressed?” “Any more children being murdered.” – Elizabeth Nickson

For Whom Is It Humane? – “Government is a criminal enterprise. All of it. “We passed a law” is no defense. The problem with Western civilization is that this idea that the government passing a law is an excuse to violate human rights has existed for far too long. This is the struggle the founders had, how to terminate that thought process. The concept of a republic operating with the will of the people lasted about as long as it took for the ink to dry. Washington himself violated that concept during the Whiskey Rebellion.” – T.L. Davis

Nobel Prize Winner Warns: AI IS COMING FOR YOUR JOB AND CONGRESS IS DOING NOTHING! – “It’s time to wake up America. Artificial Intelligence and Robots are FAR more dangerous than Nuclear Weapons.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

The SYMBOLISM Is Everywhere!! (VIDEO) – “The secret societies and systems that rule our world are nothing new. They’ve been here since the beginning of time. But thankfully people are waking up,” – Armor Of Truth Ministry  – SHORT VIDEO ON THE NUMBER 33 AND MORE!!!!!

Maduro “Effed Around & Found Out”; Trump Says ‘We Will Run Venezuela’ Until Safe Transition After Operation ‘Absolute Resolve’ – “Additionally, President Trump said Saturday he would allow American oil companies to head into Venezuela to tap its massive crude reserves:” – Tyler Durden

Russia condemns US ‘aggression’ against Venezuela – “The US president has claimed that Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro has been captured and flown out of the country” – RT

China Slams US ‘Hegemonic Acts’ After Strikes on Venezuela – “a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said in a statement late Saturday. “Such hegemonic acts of the US seriously violate international law and Venezuela’s sovereignty, and threaten peace and security in Latin America and the Caribbean region. China firmly opposes it.”” – Bloomberg News

America is a Gangster State – “The kidnapping of Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro and his wife solidifies America’s role as a gangster state. Violence does no generate peace. It generates violence. The immolation of international and humanitarian law, as the U.S. and Israel have done in Gaza, and as took place in Caracas, generates a world without laws, a world of failed states, warlords, rouge imperial powers and perpetual violence and chaos. If there is one lesson we should have learned in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Libya it is that regime change spawns Frankensteinian monsters of our own creation.” – Chris Hedges

Venezuela Attacks U.S. – “President Trump and First Lady Captured; Will Face Trial and Justice in Venezuela. Sometimes, imagining an opposite scenario can bring folly and illegality into relief. Imagine if Venezuela attacked the U.S. Imagine if President Trump and Melania Trump were seized, and that the Venezuelan attorney general said they would face justice in Venezuela. I’d imagine that nearly all Americans would see this as an act of war, a gross violation of national sovereignty. American vengeance would be swift. Of course, this is not Opposite Day. It’s the U.S. that has attacked Venezuela, seizing Maduro and his wife, with U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi vowing “They will soon face the full wrath of American justice on American soil in American courts.”” – Bill Astore

Trump Wakes the Hydra and Seals His Doom His new Venezuela War can only backfire on the Empire. Once again, the Empire has cut off the head of the snake, and will soon discover, once again, that it has only succeeded in waking the hydra. I am not sure what Marco Rubio and Donald Trump think is going to happen; I guess they think all they have to do is wait and the Venezuelan people will “spontaneously” rise up at CIA prodding and install their nice, pliable dictator who will gladly let the US steal Venezuelan oil and enrich Exxon at her own people’s expense because freedom.” – Ohio Barbarian

Yoink! Got Your Dictator! – “Maduro’s on a boat to New York. Trump will take Venezuela’s oil. Nice doing business with you. Let’s not sugarcoat it: this is a notable escalation in U.S. foreign policy and arguably the most direct military intervention in Latin America since Panama in 1989. The fact that President Trump authorized this without a clear public mandate and framed it as part of a broader campaign against cartels and corruption, ensures that debate will rage for weeks. Whether one views the move as bold leadership to remove an ally of China and Russia, or reckless overreach, largely depends on political worldview, but markets do not trade on ideology. One of the most immediate pressure points to watch here is energy. No doubt someone from OPEC getting into his $500,000 Bentley overnight felt a great disturbance in the force. There’s no doubt in my mind that Trump is going to now try and “keep the oil” from Venezuela in one form or another.” – Quoth the Raven  – THEY FRAME IT AS NARCO-TERRORISM SO THAT WE CAN CONDUCT THE OIL-TERRORISM!!!!

What Is Worse Than Donald Trump? – “More Donald Trump. Even when you begin to think that it can’t get any worse with Donald J. Trump as President of the United States the Orangeman does something that is so stupid and so reflective of a man who thinks only about himself that it makes one’s shudder in disbelief.” – Philip Giraldi

Jack Smith’s Tyrannical Arrogance – “Smith believes the government can prosecute any of us for rejecting official ‘truths.’” – J.B. Shurk

Israel Launches Its Latest “Iranian Revolution” As Trump Threatens War – “Israel is currently spearheading an online disinformation campaign against Iran with the intent of creating civil unrest. Agent provocateurs on the ground have weaponized peaceful protests to turn the situation violent. Across social media, AI-generated images and dated riot footage are being used to claim that a revolution has begun, as US President Donald Trump threatens military intervention.” – Robert Inlakesh

How’d Saudi Arabia End Up On The Same Side As The Muslim Brotherhood In Yemen? – “The Saudis’ growing ties with Muslim Brotherhood-aligned Turkiye, Qatar, and Iran; the Gaza War that broke out after October 7th; and the Ummah’s widespread support for Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestinian branch, contributed to the Kingdom coming to see the group in a new light.” – Andrew Korybko

ECONOMIC NEWS

Varoufakis warns of dollar crisis… – “Yanis Varoufakis is well known in European circles as an economist. He claims to have attended a meeting at the BIS where central bankers discussed economic meltdown. this video does appear genuine and the content makes sense, rather than culled by an AI engine. The reason for reposting it is that if it is genuine and not AI-generated, central bank officials share the concerns which we have been writing stridently about particularly in recent months. And like us and Varoufakis, they are aware that there is little they can actually do to prevent a G7 financial collapse, centred on the US dollar. Their machinations will probably lead to capital controls and market closures without notice….” – Alasdair Macleod  – LINKED ABOUT THIS ON THURSDAY AS WELL IN AN ARTICLE BY ANTHONY JAMES HALL. APPEARS TO BE THE REAL DEAL!!!!

Ditching the Dollar Is the New Popular Trump Trade – “Out with the old, in with the new. Trade in your old bucks right on cue. One of the important stories that has been slowly emerging this year is the demise of the dollar. That is worth noting because for more than a decade, I resisted going with the dollar-collapse narrative that is popular in the economic-collapse sphere where I write, and that always proved to be the right position. However, at the start of the year, I switched and finally began predicting the dollar’s collapse was now likely to arrive quickly—” – David Haggith

America’s New “Value Menu” Economy Should Worry You – “The hottest restaurant items of 2025 aren’t gourmet burgers – they’re value meals. When eating out turns into a budgeting exercise, it reveals something deeper about inflation, the rising cost of living and the quiet erosion of our quality of life…” – Peter Reagan

The New Year’s Resolution That Makes You “Ready For Anything” – “Every January, off-grid folks make the same quiet promises to themselves. This is the year I finish it. The fence. The pantry. The power backup. The bag by the door. And then life crowds in, the calendar flips, and by fall, most of those promises are still sitting right where they were—about half done. This isn’t about guilt or motivation. It’s about whether the things you’ve been “meaning to get to” would actually work if you needed them tonight. That’s what this piece is about—and why it matters more than any new gear you could buy this year.” – Bill Heid

Copper Cookware Pan – Pros, Cons, and Choosing the Right One – “Copper cookware has a long, respected history in traditional kitchens.

Copper responds instantly to heat changes, distributes warmth evenly across the surface, and gives you control that few other materials can match. ” – Self-Sufficient Projects Staff

0 Ingenious Ways to Freeze-Dry Your Food at Home for 10+ Years Shelf Life – “Most people think a deep freezer is the key to long-term food storage, but what happens when the power goes out? There’s a reason pioneers and survivalists alike have turned to freeze-drying.” – Ask a Prepper

Winter Security Reset: A Practical Check-Up for Canadian Homes During Outages and Deep Cold – “Winter security isn’t about being dramatic. It’s about not being caught off guard when the conditions that break systems—freezing rain, high winds, heavy snow, long nights—also increase the chances of opportunistic theft and delayed response times. In Canada, January is the month where many households discover their “security plan” was actually just a Wi-Fi camera and a porch light.” – denob

Habakkuk 3:16    When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops.
