THE BIG PICTURE
What Do You Want? – “What we want can thus set in motion very nearly the whole of our lives. What we desire plays a role in very nearly everything which happens to us, both the triumphs that come down upon us and the tragedies that befall us. Yet what we get in life invariably comes from what we choose and therefore what we do. Choice and action are the necessary intermediaries between our desires and our consequences.” – Peter Nayland Kust – GOOD PROVERB FROM PETER AS USUAL!!!!!

Make It Make Sense? OK. My Theory on Vegas. – ” Greetings and Salutations! OK gang! Down the rabbit hole.They’ve ID’d the guy who blew himself up in front of Trump Tower yesterday. Supposedly the mook in question is Matthew Livelsberger. Or should I say Master Sergeant Livelsberger of 10th Special Forces Group? Now… MY theory? Oh the guy is dead. No question. Any bets the MSGT was KIA’d in the Krain? I mean they got his ID card: Which is most definitely a wee bit roastie-toasty. (Shades of the 9/11 passport anyone?) Huh… “…burned beyond recognition” What a cohensidence. And the ID card juuuust managed to survive? How conveeeeeeenient!!! Yeah… Someone pulled this guy’s info, and went “It’s Perfect!” Why do you ask? Well… He’s exactly the very definition of a TERRORIST that the Feds have been screaming about for the past four fucking retarded years. White? Check. Veteran? Check. Combat Experienced? Check Radicalized? Check” – Big Country Expat – BIG COUNTRY EXPAT MAY BE ON TO SOMETHING HERE!!!
Real American History: When the Military in Washington D.C. Attacked and Killed American Veterans Who Wanted to be Paid During the Great Depression (VIDEOI) – “Tens of thousands of U.S. veterans from World War I marched to Washington D.C. in 1932, to petition Congress to pay them their compensation for fighting in the War. A bill had been passed in 1924 to do just that, but they had to wait until 1945 to collect that “bonus”, or it could be paid earlier to their family as a death benefit if they died. Army Chief of Staff General Douglas MacArthur, along with his assistant Major Dwight D. Eisenhower, usually revered as “heroes” in American history (Eisenhower went on to become President), proceeded to attack and kill some of these U.S. veterans to forcibly remove them from Washington D.C., calling them “communists”. (President Hoover was a “self-made” Wall Street millionaire and a Conservative Republican.)” – Brian Shilhavy – GOOD HALF HOUR VIDEO FROM BRIAN!!
Ice T Encounters a “Hero” – “The rapper and TV star Ice T had an encounter with “law enforcement” recently that’s worth a view and some comment. He got pulled over by a law enforcer because he violated the law. Let’s start with that. The law (in New Jersey, where the events unfolded) says a vehicle must display license plates front and rear with “up-to-date” inspection/registration stickers. Ice T’s car lacked one of the plates and – apparently – his stickers were not “up-to-date.” But are such “violations of the law” crimes?” – Eric Peters

Pay Attention to Any New Surveillance Cameras While Driving – Breakthrough Technology Could Be Targeting You – “Traffic cameras have been the bane of Britons for many a year now — but our neighbors across the pond have recently upped the battle, and the technology is coming over to America, as well. The system, called “Heads Up,” doesn’t just check speed or running traffic lights like in other locales. Instead, they look for violations, like failure to wear a seat belt or texting while driving. “The Heads Up cameras take pictures of every vehicle that passes by them, capturing images of their license plates, as well as their front seats. ” – C. Douglas Golden

Remember January 6 Forever – “During his lucid moments as president, Joe Biden never missed an opportunity to label the January 6 protest a “deadly insurrection,” but the only people killed four years ago were Trump voters — including unarmed Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt. Instead of subsequently de-escalating tensions and pursuing national unity, the Gestapo FBI dedicated tremendous resources to terrorizing patriotic grandparents for the “crime” of behaving like tourists and snapping pictures inside the Capitol. The psychopathic DOJ unconscionably drove defendants to bankruptcy and suicide for doing nothing more sinister than strolling calmly around the “People’s House.”” – J.B. Shurk
In The Jan 6 Killing Of Ashli Babbitt, A Double-Standard On Cop Misconduct – “Contrary to exaggerated, partisan rhetoric that frames the Jan 6, 2021 Capitol Hill riot as a “deadly insurrection,” the truth is that only one homicide occurred that day. The victim, an unarmed Trump supporter, was shot and killed by a police officer with a history of irresponsible handling of firearms, who opted against a nonlethal response to an act of trespassing, and who fired his weapon in the absence of any imminent threat of death or serious injury to himself or others in his vicinity. US Capitol Police (USCP) Lieutenant Michael Byrd’s killing of Ashli Babbitt came just six months after George Floyd’s death under the knee of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, an incident that sparked outrage, widespread calls for police reform, and nationwide rioting. In the case of Babbitt’s killing, however, the collective reaction from the American left and major media at best amounted to an indifferent shrug.” – Brian McGlinchey
Donald Trump and the Day One Executive Order Extravaganza – “The president-elect has a big day planned.His second term may not begin until the January 20 inauguration, but Donald Trump plans to hit the ground running. As soon as he holds the authority once again as president to sign executive orders, he intends to let fly a flurry of them – many of which, of course, are already written and simply await his signature. ” – James Fite
An American Honor No Longer Means Anything – “Everything Biden Touches Turns to Excrement. And now he has destroyed the US Medal of Freedom by awarding it to two crooks, Hillary Clinton, whose 2016 presidential campaign financed the fake Steele Dossier that disrupted President Trump’s first term with accusations that he conspired with Russian President Putin to “interfere” in the 2016 election, was a Medal of Freedom recipient. George Soros, who made his billions by conspiring against the currency of the UK, America’s most reliable ally, is another recipient. Honors have become political payoffs. ” – Paul Craig Roberts

Biden Quietly Bans Most Gas Powered Tankless Water Heaters – “An industry analysis forecasts that the average cost increase for new water heaters due to the regulations will be around $450. This price hike is poised to disproportionately affect low-income and senior households, who are among the most reliant on the more affordable models currently targeted for phase-out.” – Tyler Durden

MSNBC’s O’Donnell: Veterans are a Greater Threat of Terrorism Than Those Crossing Over Border – “MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell is under fire this week for using the terrorist attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans to attack the United States Army as a greater threat than those crossing our Southern border. The statement is a vintage example of why many are turning away from legacy or mainstream media, including MSNBC (which has lost nearly half its audience since the election).” – Jonathan Turley
Elon Musk exposes the pack raping of a quarter of a million English school girls – “Elon Musk threw the cat among the pigeons when he recently highlighted the pack raping of over 250,000 English school girls by packs of middle aged Pakistani men, who got away with their crimes for over a quarter of a century, thanks to the collusion of the British judiciary, the British constabulary, the British social services and the British political system, which are now all trying to squirm their way out of taking responsibility for the rankest of crimes they are all fully complicit in.” – Declan Hayes
World’s oldest person dies – “Tomiko Itooka, the world’s oldest person, has died at 116. The title now passes to Inah Canabarro Lucas, a Brazilian nun just 16 days younger than Itooka. Itooka attributed her remarkable longevity to a diet rich in bananas and Calpis, a popular Japanese yogurt-flavored drink.” – RT

Indictment Debunks China Hacking Claim – “On October 25 2024 a number of main-stream media outlets were spreading an anti-Chinese propaganda campaign launched by U.S. national security sources. The immediate occasion was an incident in which some hacker had gained access to a number of call records. Media repeated those claims without any qualifications. They were wrong. Only ten week later the old reports are falling apart. Now a U.S. soldier is accused of hacking into the call data record databases and of publishing parts of them, presumably on his own behest.” – Moon of Alabama
Cap Guns Versus Bazookas – “The “War” between Hamas and Israel. If one side is armed with cap guns and the other with bazookas, would we call that a “war” between roughly equal powers? I thought of this as I turned to Antiwar.com to see that President Biden has approved yet another massive arms shipment to Israel, to the tune of $8 billion. Remember when human rights used to matter (just a little bit)? Remember when genocide was considered morally reprehensible—a murderous wrong? The U.S. government simply ignores human rights except when they advance a particular agenda. And genocide? It’s OK when it’s couched as Israel doing it in the cause of “defending” its “right to exist.”” – Bill Astore

Fortifying Your Garden Soil – “Perhaps the biggest boost you can give your garden is great soil. The seed/plant needs all the help it can get to grow and fruit. Soil will over time lose its nutrients and minerals so it is important to keep adding to it all year round. You can spend a lot of money on bags of fertilizer, worm castings and bone meal or you can get resourceful and do it cheaper or for free.” – Hollyberry
Burying Food for Preservation – Is It Still a Good Idea? – “Would you ever consider burying your food out in your yard like a squirrel does his beloved nut? We might find this a little odd now, but our ancestors did this to preserve their food over the winter months. The concept behind burial food preservation is still applied when we use a root cellar to store our harvest, ” – Jennifer Poindexter

VERSES FOR THE DAY
Psalm 149:6-7 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand; To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
IMAGE FOR THE DAY
LYRIC FOR THE WEEK
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it’s sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you’re older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I’d something more to say
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
It’s good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away, across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spell
( Time by Pink Floyd )
