THE BIG PICTURE

The ICE-Staged Psychological Operation to Intentionally Cause Left/Right Chaos – “Division is always a key factor in government’s ability to rule over society. It is mandatory actually, and this is why the left and right sides (or any sides) of politics were created in the first place. It certainly was not meant as a check and balance of power, as both seek the exact same outcome, which is to rule over the proletariat class with an iron hand.” – Gary D. Barnett

Nullify the Police State: The People’s Veto to Rein in a Lawless Government – “Entire communities are terrorized under the guise of “law and order.” None of this is accidental. And none of it is temporary. At a time when executive orders are used to punish dissent, federal agencies are weaponized against political opponents, protesters are met with militarized force, immigration enforcement is used as terror theater, and constitutional limits are treated as inconveniences rather than restraints, one fact has become impossible to ignore: politics won’t fix a system that is broken beyond repair. Elections have failed to check the police state. Courts increasingly defer to it.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

If you think this won’t ever be used against you, I have a bridge to sell you. – Libertarian Party of Tennessee onX

Stop Doom-Scrolling and Look at What Musk is Doing to Memphis Right Now – “Memphis is just the beginning. Big Tech is building thousands more. If we do not wake up, and I mean right now, the scenario I described at the beginning will not be fiction. It will be Tuesday. The data centers will multiply. The power grids will buckle under the strain. Your electric bill will triple while your air quality plummets. The tech oligarchs will build their digital empire on the corpse of the natural world, and by the time the average person realizes what has happened, it will be too late to stop it.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf  – A MUST READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Narrative Control Made Easy: Us versus Them – “Those in charge of narrative control are suffering from the delusion that they’re making sense. Everything is under control until it isn’t. The name of the game in controlling the populace is narrative control, the current term for setting the context, priorities and agenda so the populace complies without being aware they’ve been bamboozled into accepting a system that benefits the few at the expense of the many. The easiest way to control the narrative is to establish the false choice of an either-or binary: Us versus Them.” – Charles Hugh Smith

Yuval Harari at Davos: ‘AI is not just another tool…It has the ability to lie and manipulate’ and will take over all world religions – “Harari’s message at WEF meeting should serve as a wake up call because it flies in the face of what many, including some in the Christian community, have been telling us about the power of AI. It was not a pretty picture. If Klaus Schwab and Larry Fink represent the legal and geostrategic views of the Davos crowd, Harari represents its spiritual soul. And a dark soul it is, devoid of anything truly from the heart of God.” – Leo Hohmann.

An astonishing vaccine study that did not make headlines – “It’s come to be known as the Henry Ford study. I reported on it several weeks back. Now, a group has reanalyzed the data and found the results are even more horrific than originally determined.” – Jon Rappoport

From Shared Sovereignty to Managed Reality: How Five Canadian Leaders Walked Us Into the Same Global System – “Different parties. Different styles. Same direction.” – Connie Shields

Turning Off Internet on Your Phone Improves Attention, Mental Health, and Well-Being in Just 14 Days – “A randomized trial finds blocking mobile internet improved mental health more than antidepressants. Researchers effectively turned smartphones into “dumb phones,” and the results were striking: improved sustained attention, improved mental health, and higher subjective well-being.” – Nicolas Hulscher, MPH

Gates Holds $254 Million in Big Oil Investments Despite Blaming the Industry for ‘Climate Change’ – “Gates Foundation Trust holds hundreds of millions of dollars in companies like Chevron, BP, and Shell while simultaneously investing in climate change initiatives—profiting from both ends” – Jon Fleetwood

Fauci & Collins Brushed Off ‘Impressive’ Data For COVID Natural Immunity – “Newly released emails reveal that senior Biden administration health officials privately grappling with research suggesting recovery from Covid-19 infection provided stronger protection than vaccination alone – at the very moment the federal government was preparing sweeping vaccine mandates in 2021. The emails echo statements later made by Paul Offit, a pediatrician and longtime FDA vaccine adviser, who admitted on a podcast four years ago that senior officials discussed – but ultimately rejected – recognizing natural immunity as a basis for exemption from vaccine mandates.” – Tyler Durden

NEWS

No Peace Prize? – “It was just over a year ago that many – most – of the people who support Trump thought “Joe Biden” was manifesting symptoms of dementia and ought to step down. His own party thought so, too. It is why they (effectively) forced him to step aside for Kamala Harris, who ended up losing to Trump. Well, what now? Trump is manifesting similar signs. He just said he will no longer “think purely of peace,” with regard to Greenland (and probably also Iran) because he has not been awarded the Peace Prize. The full text of Trump’s rant – delivered to the prime minister of Norway, is worth publishing in full: This is pathological. Or it is senile. Does it really matter which? The president of the United States is angry because he hasn’t been awarded a prize he covets and now he plans to take that anger out – on some other country. On us, at the end of the day. Again, this is not rational behavior. He is openly saying that he is motivated by personal pique. Not even The Chimp displayed such childish petulance – and when The Chimp makes you look bad, it’s really bad.” – Eric Peters

Everything’s Blowing Up At Once! (What Just Happened?! )(VIDEO) – Neil McCoy-Ward  – TWO GOOD VIDEOS FROM NEIL ON DAVOS FROM TODAY AND YESTERDAT, BELOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All HELL Breaking Loose Today! (You Won’t Believe What’s Happening…) 🚨 (VIDEO) – Neil McCoy-Ward

Trump’s chilling AI map shows his ‘next target’ after claiming Greenland – “In a surprising twist, an AI-generated image shared by Trump hints at a bold vision for North America, sparking intrigue and speculation about his intentions. The image also features a map of the American continent, with the U.S., Venezuela, Greenland, and notably, Canada, all painted in the colors of the American flag.” – Michael D. Carroll  – IS TRUMP A TECHNOCRAT.  ALSO SEE MORE LINKS ABOUT THE TECHANATE OF AMERICA ON 09/04/25 BY COLLAPSE LIFE!!!!!!

Explaining immigration in one graph. What worked, what went wrong, and how to fix it – “Time to speak the truth, own our error, and fix it. Immigration used to be great (and can be again) because it was immigration of the likeminded. That stopped, reversed, and was ultimately weaponized. I am staunchly pro immigration, but not THIS sort of immigration.” – El Gato Malo

Reflections from the Heart of the Empire: Days of Decadence and Dickheads – “ICE dickheads agents broke down a US citizen’s door in St. Paul, arrested him in front of his daughter and 4 year old grandson, dragged him out of the house in his underwear, drove him somewhere, made him stand in the cold, and eventually released him. Eventually, somebody’s going to shoot one of these assholes.” – Ohio Barbarian – THE BARBARIAN’S WEEKLY RECAP, GOOD AS USUAL!!!

Maybe It’s Time For Conservative Patriots To Rally In Minneapolis – “For years we knew it was coming: Civil War 2.0. It’s not as if the establishment has been subtle about their intentions to erase conservatives and liberty minded people from the American epoch. I remember during the Obama years, the narrative was repeated daily that conservatives are a “backwards remnant” of the old America that needs to adapt to the times or fade into obscurity. The reasoning was that, slowly but surely, the US was becoming “more diverse” and therefore the progressive left was going to be the dominant political force for generations to come (because they think they own all minorities). In other words, multiculturalism was the new ideological standard.” – Brandon Smith

White slavery: What your history teachers couldn’t tell you” – Kenn Gividen

Why everyone needs to be accountable – Tom Knighton

Trump And His Regime Aggressively Demand That They Seize Control Of Greenland At World Economic Forum – “In a press gaggle at the White House today, Trump was asked at what lengths he would go to acquire Greenland. Trump replied, “You’ll find out.”” – The WinePress

Greenland Is Not ‘Our Territory’ And It Never Will Be – “The president is driven by nothing but gnawing greed” – .Daniel Larison

Canada prepping response to hypothetical US military invasion for first time in a century, report says – “The model is purely theoretical and precautionary, with officials stressing that a U.S. invasion is unlikely. For the first time in over 100 years, the Canadian military is modeling its response to a hypothetical U.S. invasion, as tensions rise between President Donald Trump’s administration and NATO allies, according to a new report.” – Brendan Rascius – HYPOTHETICAL… WHO KNOWS.

Situation Goes Critical as Kiev Begins Emptying Out – “Another large-scale Russian strike yesterday has brought Kiev and several other major Ukrainian cities to the brink. Everything from Iskanders to even hypersonic Zircons were allegedly used, as per Ukrainian sources which claimed that virtually everything was again “shot down”: Zelensky himself announced over one million people in Kiev alone are without power, while numerous other reports give the figure as 80% of Kiev in a total outage.” – Simplicius

The US’ Acquisition Of Greenland Could Lead To A Deal Over Canada’s Arctic Islands – “Trump might claim that building “Golden Dome” infrastructure there, possibly with the partial purpose of serving as a cover for deploying new offensive weapons systems in the Arctic for targeting Russia and China, is required for plugging the gap between the world’s largest island and Alaska.” – Andrew Korybko

ECONOMIC NEWS

SELL AMERICA! It looked like a stock, bond and dollar fire sale today! – “It wasn’t just the depth of market plunges but the interaction of all the troubled dynamics.” – David Haggith

The “Dollar Debasement Trade” Goes Full “Sell America” – “Suddenly, the whole world is either selling US assets or threatening to do so. And based on Donald Trump’s recent World Economic Forum speech, in which he demanded control of Greenland and ridiculed multiple globalist scams, “sell America” is a trend with legs. The main beneficiary? Gold, of course. ” – John Rubino

Greenland Exposes The Greenback – “Empire building is one way to show the world you’re a failing empire. People do not abandon reserve currencies because of vibes or headlines. They move when political judgment looks impaired and long term stability looks optional. Empire building tells investors to expect higher military spending, weaker alliances and nowadays, tariff fallout. None of that is bullish.” – Quoth the Raven

Empty Stores Everywhere! America’s “Retail Apocalypse” Is Already The Worst In History, And There Are Signs That It Is Getting Even Worse… – “Did you know that more stores were closed in the United States last year than ever before? More than 8,000 stores were permanently shuttered in 2025, and it appears that 2026 will be even worse. U.S. consumers have very little discretionary income to spend these days, and empty stores litter the landscape.” – Michael Snyder – HAVE SEEN THESE “RETAIL APOCALYPSE” ARTICLES FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER. HERE’S ANOTHER ONE. THESE TYPE OF ARTICLES STARTED TO GAIN TRACTION WHEN THE BIG BOX STORES TOOK OVER AS WELL AS WHEN PEOPLE STARTED TO DO ON-LINE SHOPPING INSTEAD!!!

The Stock Market Isn’t a Market Anymore — It’s a Political Control Mechanism – Nick Giambruno

Japan is About to Go Bust… Is the U.S. Next? – “Japan has officially reached the end game for central bank policy. Japan is the grandfather for monetary policy insanity. Today the Bank of Japan: Owns over 50% of Japan’s debt. Is the largest shareholder of Japanese stocks in the world. Is a top 10-shareholder in over 90% of the Nikkei 225. Has a balance sheet that is larger than the GDP of Japan. Put simply, the BoJ is where the Fed, the European Central Bank (ECB) and every other major central bank will be in a few years.” – Graham Summers, MBA

Shanghai Silver Surpasses $100/oz (VIDEO) with David Jensen – “David Jensen describes the current silver market as a system under visible strain, where backwardation reflects a genuine shortage of physical metal meeting accelerating global demand. He begins with fundamentals such as expansive monetary policy and swelling Asian liquidity, then moves through market infrastructure stresses including depleted London vaults, widening Shanghai versus US price spreads, and the failure of paper contracts to satisfy delivery needs.” – Liberty and Finance

Whole Milk Cottage Cheese Recipe – “Wondering how to make cottage cheese from milk? Try this delicious whole milk cottage cheese recipe! – Claudia Lucero  – FOR A GUIDE TO MAKING  REGULAR CHEESE SEE ARTICLE LINKED ON 04/28/25!!!

9 SURVIVAL Tactics That Keep You ALIVE When Others Fail❗️ (VIDEO) – “Most people think stealth in a real SHTF situation is about wearing camo, crawling on the ground, or having the latest tactical gadget. It’s not just that. Real stealth survival comes from thinking like a hunter, moving with purpose, and understanding how human eyes, ears, and instincts truly work. The first 72 hours of any crisis whether it’s an EMP, bugging out, getting home, car breaks down are most crucial to be prepared for.” – Jason Salyer

Planning Your 2026 Backyard Money Garden – “Most people think a “garden plan” is just a prettier version of a grocery list. Tomatoes. Peppers. Maybe some cucumbers if they’re feeling adventurous. But that kind of thinking is exactly why most backyards never earn a dime. Because the real money doesn’t live in what everyone recognizes—it hides in the plants most folks walk past, pull up, or have never heard of at all. That’s the funny thing about backyard money crops: buyers are ready to buy before gardeners think about growing these crops.” – Bill Heid

Learn How to Prune Grape Vines for a Fruitful Harvest – Bethany Hayes

Mental Resilience & Community: Holding It Together When Winter Drags On – “By late January in Canada, winter stops being dramatic and starts being grinding. The storms blur together. Daylight is scarce. Plans get delayed. Even well-prepared households begin to feel stretched — not because they lack supplies, but because endurance is being tested. This is the point in the season where preparedness quietly shifts from stockpiles and equipment to psychological resilience and social cohesion. Food, heat, and power keep you alive — but mindset and community determine whether people remain functional, cooperative, and capable of making good decisions over time.’ – denob

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

Germany: 4 suspects arrested for destroying young medical student’s leg in vicious attack, 3 from Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan – “Germany was promised migrants would be doctors and engineers, but they also appear to be beating the aspiring doctors” – Remix News Staff

The GOP Takes Laps in the Swamp, Keeping Waste Afloat – “The fight for taxpayer savings could be a losing battle.” – Corey Smith

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

The Most Powerful Institution In America Isn’t the Church… It’s the God-Ordered Home – “Most people don’t notice the family collapsing the way they notice a house fire. There’s no smoke. No sirens. No warning. Instead, it happens the way rot does… quietly, patiently, behind the walls. One divorce here. One woke classroom lesson there. One law that “just updates” marriage for modern times. And before you know it, something ancient and solid has turned soft under your feet. Walk through any modern neighborhood, and you can feel it… something is off.  Beneath the noise lies an old, grinding war… one not fought with rifles or tanks, but with ideas. And at the center of that war sits the biblical family: God’s first institution, His most basic form of government, Because to dethrone God, His design must be dismantled. And the family is always the first to fall.” – Bill Heid  – GOOD READ FROM BILL!!!!!!!!!

They Called It an Emergency. The Court Called It Unlawful. – “The Courts Finally Said What Millions Knew. Today deserves a hip hip hooray… not because of politics, but because the rule of law still matters in Canada. On January 16, 2026, the Federal Court of Appeal released its decision on the federal government’s use of the Emergencies Act during the 2022 Freedom Convoy.  And the message could not be clearer: The invocation was unreasonable. The threshold for a national emergency was not met. Canadians’ Charter rights were violated.” – Connie Shields

Why an invasion of Greenland might cause the end of Canada – “The Two-for-One Special: Greenland and Canada. Until last week, the notion of the United States Marines storming the beaches of Nuuk seemed the stuff of bad Tom Clancy fan fiction. Then came the Caracas raid.” – Sarah Connor

Ain’t Social Security Grand after DOGE and Government Shutdowns? – “Another day of craziness on the Homefront. No, not the Trump war zone in whatever state he’s stationed the National Guard to help with the battle against illegal aliens who should have been sent out of the country long ago by previous administrations since they ARE “illegal.” But the battle on my home front—this time with health insurance and retirement benefits taking up the day. Not a personal health crisis but a personal government crisis as we learn from Social Security that our retirement benefits would not begin at the end of this month as we had scheduled.” – David Haggith

Greenland for Ukraine – “I don’t know why the obvious trade isn’t being discussed by the media, when that’s obviously what’s on the table between the USA and Russia: Donald Trump has warned the US may pull out of NATO if America’s allies don’t agree to its acquisition of Greenland. ‘Will you pull out of NATO if it doesn’t help you acquire Greenland,’ a reporter asked the president outside the White House on Friday. Trump warned: ‘We’re going to see. NATO has been dealing with us on Greenland, we need Greenland for national security very badly. If we don’t have it we have a very big hole in terms of national security, especially in terms of the Golden Dome.’” – VOX POPOLI

Trump Hits European Nations With Tariffs Until Deal Reached to Buy Greenland – “If you need another reason IEEPA tariffs are idiocy, you have one. This is a very dangerous situation for the Safety, Security, and Survival of our Planet. These Countries, who are playing this very dangerous game, have put a level of risk in play that is not tenable or sustainable. Indeed. The US is a NATO country and Trump’s actions against another NATO country put the whole world at risk” – Mish

Protests in Greenland and Denmark against Trump plans – “Demonstrations were held in Danish cities including the capital, Copenhagen, as well as in Greenland’s capital, Nuuk. The rallies coincide with a visit to Copenhagen by a delegation from the US Congress. Its leader, Democratic Senator Chris Coons, described Mr Trump’s rhetoric as “not constructive”.” – Henri Astier

Why Has the Attack on Iran Been Delayed? – “The news says – for whatever that’s worth – that the obviously imminent attack on Iran (on behalf of Israel) has been called off. For the moment, at least. Why? Well, one answer that suggests itself is that the Iranians have the means to defend their country. That is to say, they have the means to hit back – hard. Perhaps hard enough to make it not worth attacking Iran. This is why North Korea has not been attacked. Everyone understands that North Korea has at least a couple of nuclear weapons and for that reason could hit back – hard. The North Koreans get left alone.” – Eric Peters

Where is the world headed? Nuclear war, WW3 or just plain old Global Capitalist resource capture? (VIDEO) with Vanessa Beeley and Fiorella Isabel – Bett Beat media  – WHEN YOU HAVE TIME, GOOD IN DEPTH VIDEO!!!

Becca and Renee Good Were Not Married. So Why Does Everyone Keep Lying About It? Why Tell the Truth When the Lies Sound So Much Nicer? – “In fact, reporters, social media influencers, and politicians continue to describe Becca Good as the wife of Renee; that initial misrepresentation came from Becca Good herself, who not only screamed out after the shooting that Renee was “her wife,” but also described Renee as “my wife” in a statement released to the media on Jan. 9. But every facet of that sympathy-promoting hagiography is untrue. Not only were the Goods unmarried, the six-year-old son belonged to Renee only.” – Julie Kelly

Following ICE Is Illegal, No Matter What Judge Menendez Claims – ” Minn Stat §609.50 makes it a crime to intentionally obstruct, hinder, or prevent the lawful execution of legal process or the apprehension of another. The statute focuses on acts, not opinions. Following undercover officers after being ordered to stop is an intentional act. Blocking vehicles is an intentional act. Warning targets so they can flee is an intentional act. When such conduct creates a risk of serious harm, the offense escalates to a felony. That escalation is not theoretical. Using a car to box in or pursue officers is inherently dangerous. Minnesota courts have never treated this kind of conduct as protected expression.” – Alexander Muse / Amuse on X

DOJ Probes Gov. Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Over Alleged Effort To Obstruct ICE – “Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey refuses to reveal the identities of the NGOs he’s working with to organize protests in his city….” – Tyler Durden

Minneapolis couple says ICE released tear gas under their family vehicle with 6 children inside – “Shawn and Destiny Jackson have an 11- and 7-year-old, 4-year-old twins, a 2-year-old and a 6-month-old baby boy. They were on their way home from basketball practice when they were caught between protesters and ICE agents. “They stopped at my car, and they proceeded to yell in and said, ‘Get out of here.’ Well, they used profanity. And my husband screamed and said, ‘We’re trying,'” Destiny Jackson said. The couple stayed calm, they said, while ICE agents ramped up their demands. She said the agents walked to the back of their vehicle and released a canister of tear gas under their vehicle. ” – Reg Chapman – IF THIS INCIDENT IS TRUE THEN THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THE ICE AGENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Was Iran war averted or just postponed? – “Trump was spooked by Russia’s commitment to help Iran this time around, but will he redraw his battle plan for a ‘bigger’ operation as suggested by Lindsey Graham, risking WWIII in the process?” – Leo Hohmann

Trump Threatens ‘Agitators’ As Civil Unrest Soars In Minnesota – “President Trump escalated his threat to use the Insurrection Act ” – Tyler Durden

The Nascent “Islamic NATO” Might Soon Set Its Sights On Somaliland – “The Somali Defense Minister’s request for Saudi Arabia to replicate its South Yemeni campaign in Somaliland coupled with reports about those two’s and Egypt’s impending alliance that would thus de facto include their Eritrean ally strongly suggest that something big might soon be afoot.” – Andrew Korybko

ECONOMIC NEWS  (LINKING SEVERAL SHORT VIDEOS ON SILVER  TODAY WITH SEVERAL GOOD ANALYSTS. I URGE YOU TO WATCH THEM ALL. THEY ARE ONLY ABOUT 15 MINUTES LONG)

SILVER Shortage Is Here — This Breaks Everything (VIDEO )with Bill Holter – “Gold and silver are not important. I would just say just watch. You’re gonna find out. In my opinion uh silver will fail to deliver probably in the the March uh April time frame. When I say fail to deliver, I think they’re going to go force majour and they will deliver cash instead of silver. And what that tells you is that the contracts are worthless because uh if you can’t perform and my past partner Jim Sinclair used to always ask the question what is a contract worth if it cannot perform and the answer to that is zero” – Fine Metals

Silver Just Hit $92 — $200 Silver Alert as This Could Turn Violent Fast (VIDEO) with Peter Schiff – ” I’ve been telling people, you know, we haven’t run out, but we’re having difficulty sourcing the product right now in silver. So, I can tell you that the spreads are going to start to widen. Uh, so buy what you can while it’s available. ” – Fine Metals

SILVER SHORTAGE: I’m Risking Everything Telling You This… (100M Ounces Missing) (VIDEO) with Andy Schectman – “Massive and I mean massive deliveries, Darl, into ComX. To me first and foremost above all else, that’s really what matters. Because what you are witnessing are the most well-informed traders in the world forget about the fact that we’re seeing billions and billions and billions and billions come into the market into ComX every single month, uh which no one’s talking about in the mainstream, which I just don’t GET. But the people at that level who have that kind of of wealth, they’re also connected to the information. They’re not doing it just for the hell of it. These people are at the highest level of government, at the highest level of finance and of influence. And when we see what amounts to literally billions every single month coming in to me that signals not only that the metal itself is probably worth more than the money being you know used to purchase it” – Fine Metals

The Physical Shortage of Silver Is Insoluble at Current Prices (VIDEO) with David Jensen. – “we see a lot of people who haven’t been following silver who are into other markets. Uh we see them commenting and saying this is a bubble. It’s going to collapse. But uh from what you wrote here, this is not driven by uh greed or speculation. It’s driven by fear that uh there’s no silver out there. Yeah, I I think that that is the um underlying driver of the of the demand that we’re seeing right now uh for silver as well as of course the the whole concept of the debasement trade um uh in terms of uh people trying to secure assets as we’ve seen the the incredibly uh reckless and loose monetary policy that have been operated by the central banks for decades now. But really, it’s coming to a head now.” – maneco64

Broken Currency: The Mechanics of Regime Change – “Broken currency is never an accident—it’s the first domino in regime change, and history always rhymes.” – The Macro Butler

JP Morgan Forecasts Surge In Biometric Payment Uptick, Blockchain, Digital ID Wallets, And Tokenization Are The Future Of Finance – “We’ll see an increase in biometric payments because the technology is already part of daily life and translating into payments.” – The WinePress

An Old Receipt Proves That Grocery Prices Have More Than Tripled, And Consumer Bankruptcies Are Soaring – Michael Snyder  – GOOD CLICKBAIT. IF ONE DIGS DEEPER, YOU WILL FIND THAT AVERAGE WAGES HAVE RISEN ALMOST AS MUCH OVER THE SAME 18 YEAR PERIOD. DOESN’T CHANGE THE FACT THAT THINGS KEEP GOING UP!!!

Counterparty risk in silver exposed – “That TD Securities traded silver short and taken losses not once but twice alerts us to increasing counterparty risk not just in silver contracts but gold as well. There will be others.” – Alasdair Macleod

The Silver Rally Hasn’t Even Begun — 2025 Was Just some Romantic Foreplay – The Silver Academy

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

What January Says About Your Homestead – “Plan for the Months Ahead Heading into Spring This isn’t to say you can’t do anything outside. Some things outdoors will always need attention. But after you put another log on the fire and find that warm comforter, think about how you can plan and prepare for the months to come, and what you can do around the homestead to get control of the inevitable clutter. January planning isn’t just about gardens and tools — it’s also about identifying weak points before they become problems. ” – Steve Nubie

Most Men Miss This CRITICAL Skill! (VIDEO) – “Most men don’t lack gear. They lack skills. In this video, I break down the top man skills worth mastering and the minimal training equipment that actually supports real practice—not distractions or tacticool nonsense. This year isn’t about collecting more do-dads. It’s about becoming more capable through deliberate training.” – Jason Salyer

Stop Wasting Your Money on Batteries – “Most preppers have done the same thing for years, and it usually starts in a normal store aisle. You walk past the batteries, you see a big pack on sale, and you picture a power outage, a storm, or a time when stores are empty, so you toss the pack in the cart. The trouble begins when batteries turn into a long-term plan, because disposable batteries do not behave the way most people expect once time and storage conditions start doing what they always do.” – Jack

VERSES FOR THE DAY

Deuteronomy 8:7-10     For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;  A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;  A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.  When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the Lord thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.

THE BIG PICTURE

These Abuses Will Continue Until People Force Them To Stop – “There are a whole lot more of us than there are of the tyrants who are inflicting these abuses upon our world, and they know it, and they fear us.Western governments are going to get more and more authoritarian. Police forces are going to get more and more militarized and murderous. Freedom of speech is going to be crushed with more and more aggression. Military budgets are going to get more and more bloated. The imperial war machine is going to get more and more belligerent, genocidal and expansionist. The gap between the rich and the poor is going to keep growing and growing. People are going to get more and more miserable and mentally unhealthy. The systems we use to gather information about our world are going to get more and more tightly controlled by the powerful. ” – Caitlin Johnstone  – GOOD READ FROM CAITLIN. THE MINNEAPOLIS SHOOTING, RIGHT OR WRONG, IS REALLY JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An Abyss of Lawlessness – “Donald Trump, to put this point simply, is running the same empire that Presidents Johnson, Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II, Obama, and Biden ran. Trump is merely running it differently — more openly coercive, more nakedly dependent on power alone — because we are in a different time, and imperial America is now late-imperial America. Our age of lawlessness is also our age of desperation, this is to say. Shredding international law and domestic legal regimes while standing in front of a prime-time television camera is a response to an alternative world order swiftly taking shape in the non–West and, so, pressing itself upon the West. The attack on Venezuela was also an attack on this order-in-formation. But the state into which they have led the West is not sustainable. Disorder and lawlessness inevitably degenerate into more and graver disorder, lawlessness, and violence. This is not a winning strategy. History teaches that the turmoil of our time — to describe our circumstance too mildly — can be, far from always, the mulch from which a new order will arise.” – Patrick Lawrence

The Risks Of Cascading Sugar Rush Policy – “President Trump has demonstrated a remarkable genius for dominating the entire eventsphere. After his success in Venezuela, he’s now embarked on a deluge of new announcements – which his detractors have dismissed as the actions of a Toddler on a Sugar High. I can’t remember anything like it in the first week of a new year. Whether its kidnapping foreign leaders, his ICE praetorians murdering citizens and justifying it as a war against leftist domestic terrorism, privateering vs Russian flagged tankers, banning institutional housing investment, threatening to split Nato by seizing Greenland, withdrawing from all international organisations, capping defence industry salaries and bonuses, and then announcing a 50% increase in the US “War” budget from $900 bln to $1.5 trillion per annum, it’s no wonder everyone is wondering what Trump will do tomorrow?” – Bill Blain

How Nations Escape Poverty – “Over the last 35 years, Vietnam has undergone one of the most miraculous economic transformations in history. So how was it achieved?” – Jon Miltimore

MAHA Promised Transparency. FDA Delivered Censorship – “The FDA has formally rejected ANH-USA’s landmark petition seeking to open up Americans’ access to truthful, science-based information about the health benefits of nutrients. In response, ANH-USA will file suit against the FDA in federal court to challenge what we believe is unconstitutional censorship and a clear violation of federal law.” – ANH-USA

Nothing to See Here: MAHA “Winning” Enters the UNIVERSAL FLU SHOT Phase – “No reversals, no accountability, just the same system quietly declaring victory again. Is this what “winning” looks like, MAHA?” – Sense Receptor via Lioness of Judah

Stop hating us! The attempt to destroy white nations. A defense of Western culture – “Attacks on indigenous white European culture seemed to coincide with a coordinated effort to flood Western nations with non-native, non-white people groups—Islamic and Somali in particular. Critics often conflate globalization, colonial history, or the concept of “whiteness” as evil incarnate. This misportrays Europeans as a demonic brood not worthy of existing. In a word, it’s gaslighting. Some note that this framing is ideological, not academic.” – Kenn Gividen

FOUR HUNDRED JOURNALISTS ON THE CIA PAYROLL AND YOU STILL TRUST THE NEWS – “THEY HAVE BEEN PLAYING US OUR ENTIRE LIVES AND I CAN PROVE IT” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

Climate “Solutions” Are the Real Danger – “Why the cure is becoming far more dangerous than the disease” – Dr. Matthew Wielicki

Think Chick-fil-A is a Christian Business? Think Again – “Mocking God is now on the menu…” – Jim McCraigh

NEWS

How Dare You Fight Back Against Communists! – “I’ve looked at all the available video evidence from multiple angles and in my opinion she did in fact try to hit the officer with her car. Frankly, she got exactly what she deserved and I would argue that more of these NGO paid activists need to face similar consequences if we are ever going to stop the engineered communist monkey wrenching in our midst. If we can’t shut the NGOs down, then the people they pay and train need to be pummeled until they realize the money simply isn’t worth it. Leftists function on the assumption that they can skirt the law while using it as a shield against reprisal. They do it over and over and usually they get away with it. They whittle us down by stabbing at us from behind a curtain of gray legality. I’m tired of it, and I think many millions of other Americans are also tired of it. We’re done playing nice. In my studies on various communist insurgencies over the past century there is a clear pattern, a specific strategy that is almost always used. For lack of a better description, today we would call it the strategy of the “Cry Bully.”” – Brandon Smith – I TOO HAVE WATCHED ALL THE VIDEOS AVAILABLE, EVEN THE NEWEST WHERE IT LOOKS PLAUSIBLE THAT SHE MAY HAVE HIT THE ICE AGENT, HOWEVER I’M NOT SURE SHE GOT WHAT SHE DESERVED. THE MAIN POINT HERE, IS THAT ALL OF THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED, IF SHE HADN’T BEEN THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!

The true story of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis – The death of Renee Nicole Good would never have occurred if Democrat Minnesota had accepted the will of the American people demonstrated in the 2024 election and cooperated with the nation’s desire to remove the illegal aliens from our presence. Instead, the Democrat party refused to accept the American people’s will, preferring instead the will of noncitizens and aligned themselves with those who entered the country illegally. In my view, the evidence is unequivocally clear that Renée Nicole Good died because of the irresponsibility of Tim Walz, Jacob Frey and Ilhan Omar.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Renee Good’s Partner Made a Revealing Admission About the Shooting – “These weren’t innocent people who randomly encountered ICE agents in the middle of an operation. They were there to obstruct and antagonize. Rebecca not only taunted agents, but told Renee to “drive baby, drive.” And she did, with the agent in her path, forcing him to defend himself after being struck.” – Matt Margolis

No, ICE Is Nothing Like the Gestapo, Except When It Is – “Some readers objected to my use of the word Gestapo to describe ICE. Let’s investigate.’ – Mish

Courting death to own the Nazis – “Objectively speaking, these ICE-watching women engage federal law enforcement officers in repeated rounds of chicken. Their aim is to edge beyond being a mere nuisance and cause meaningful disruptions, while hoping always to stop short of becoming a serious, actionable threat. This is a very hard balance to maintain because of course threats are perceived subjectively. Where exactly the line falls will vary from officer to officer and from situation to situation, according to a multitude of imponderables. Anyone who plays like this is trying to get shot, whether she realises it or not. What makes this balance even harder to maintain, is the fact that none of the politically hysterical imbeciles involved shows any evidence of understanding what it is she’s doing.” – eugyppius

No Ashli Babbitt Treatment for Renee Good -“If Democrats, NeverTrump, and the media did not have double standards, they would have none at all.” – Julie Kelly  – I HAD THE EXACT THOUGHTS YESTERDAY, SEE MY IMAGE FOR THE DAY YESTERDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ICE WATCH: Manufactured Martyrdom in Minneapolis” – “The domestic terror attack against an ICE agent in Minneapolis earlier this week was not an accident in the ordinary sense of the word. It was not a random tragedy, nor an unforeseeable misunderstanding between a federal officer and a civilian. It was the predictable culmination of a far left political subculture that trains activists to escalate, to provoke, and to treat physical confrontation with law enforcement as morally justified and politically useful.” – Amuse on X

Masked Anti-ICE Agitator Admits She ‘Getting Paid’ to Attend Minneapolis Protest – David Lindfield

This one delusional neocon gives a perfect glimpse into the Ukraine War Fantasy Land they all live in – “Someone really should explain to Mike Pompeo how peace deals actually work” – Rachel Marsden

A Lawless Presidency – “The United States invasion of Venezuela and kidnapping of Nicolas Maduro, the domestically recognized Venezuelan president, violated the U.S. Constitution and international law. ​The Constitution makes clear that only Congress can authorize a foreign invasion. ” – Judge Andrew P. Napolitano

Seizing the Orinoco – “Last weekend’s capture and extraction of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was both fun and exciting. Disregarding national sovereignty and international law feels good when the outcome is favorable. Doing something reckless, like train surfing or drunk driving, and getting away with it teaches a dangerous lesson. Namely, that you’re invincible and can take things up another notch – or two. Does might make right? The time to answer this question has come and gone. Wrong or right. What’s done is done. Once a cucumber has become a pickle it can never be a cucumber again. There’s no going back. Perhaps Maduro, a corrupt and illegitimate dictator with a long list of abuses, had it coming. Handcuffs appear fitting. Certainly, opinions abound. Ours is of little concern. What we’re interested in better understanding is, what’s the meaning of it all?” – MN Gordon

Why 2026 Could Be Silver’s Breakout Year: The Asymmetric Bet on Monetary Chaos – “I’m interested in silver for one reason only: it’s prone to explosive, crisis-driven upside. Silver may be one of the most explosive ways to profit from a monetary crisis—but it’s only one piece of a much larger picture. What’s coming in 2026 isn’t just another market cycle.

They’re looking for ambiguity. Homes that appear unattended, unobserved, or inconveniently dark attract attention long before any crime escalates. Households that remained comfortable during recent disruptions didn’t rely on complex systems or constant monitoring. They focused on visibility, delay, and routine. Exterior lighting was one of the most effective deterrents.” – denob

THE BIG PICTURE

Make No Mistake – “The Slave Wars Have Begun. The plantation hasn’t vanished; it’s been reconfigured. The new plantation’s the welfare state itself: a system sustained by the votes of a dependent class, which in turn grants politicians the power to extract from a productive class. This isn’t conspiracy but a logical outcome of deindustrialization, financialization, the erosion of wages and the unchecked rise of the bureaucratic state at the careful manipulations of rent seeking monopolists. The masters are distant—executives, investors, and the political class—while the slaves are divided into two interdependent classes: those who still produce, compelled to yield their surplus, and those made dependent, whose votes secure the continuation of the system.” – E.M. Burlingame

What became of America’s “peace president”? – “It is extraordinary that in less than the first week of the new year Trump has put on notice Venezuela, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Iran, and Denmark, while taking no meaningful steps to end Washington’s conflict with Russia in Ukraine. As if this aggressive agenda is not enough, the Trump regime is provoking China with the sale of hundreds of missiles to Taiwan that can be used to attack Chinese cities. Clearly, Donald Trump has emerged as anything but a “peace president.”’ – Paul Craig Roberts

New U.S. Food Guidelines Emphasize Actual Food – “In a shocking development that’s left cereal mascots sweating through their marshmallow suits, the U.S. government has released new dietary guidelines that—brace yourselves—recommend eating actual food. Not food-like substances. Not “fortified” rainbow pellets shaped like horseshoes. Not former-foods stripped of anything resembling nutrition or flavor or reengineered to somehow be we-promise-you-healthier than what the Divine Chef designed. On the new menu: Meat. Dairy. Fats. Fruits. Vegetables. Nuts. Olives. Avocados. The kind of stuff humans accidentally survived on for millennia before being told that breakfast should be sponsored by General Mills.” – Jenna McCarthy

More fool you: 10 modus operandi of the mass manipulators – “We are immersed in a behavioural psychology programme. The global elite is manipulating everything from incidents to information, in the process of building an authoritarian technocracy.” – Niall McCrae

Are You Ready For A New World Order And A New World Currency? The World Government Summit Is Asking – “Will that new system of digital money and digital accounting accommodate the competing needs of the citizens of all these locations, so that every human being has a chance to have a better life?” – The WinePress

NEWS

Gangster Government – “The American people must face it: The U.S. Constitution is dead. The Bill of Rights is dead. The rule of law is dead. Federalism is dead. The American experiment of self-government is dead. The Monroe Doctrine has been replaced with the Donroe Doctrine—a gross perversion of James Monroe’s magnificent manifesto of peace, independence and national sovereignty. G.W. Bush, Barack Obama, Joe Biden and especially Donald Trump have turned our constitutional republic into a Banana Republic. Trump is not a president; he is a dictator—and a mad dictator at that. In many respects, he is not unlike the emperors of Rome. And our national Congress is almost identical to the Roman senate: utterly meaningless and worthless to the maintenance of law in the face of naked aggression by the chief executive. ” – Chuck Baldwin  – A LOT OF PEOPLE BELIEVE THIS COUNTRY IS NOTHIONG MORE THAN GANSTERS. THIS IS ABOUT THE THIRD ARTICLE THAT I HAVE LINKED ABOUT THIS SUBJECT SINCE THE U.S KIDNAPPED MADURO!!!

Genocide Was Trump’s Gateway Crime. Why the Surprise Over His Vanquishing of Venezuela? – “Trump is a second-rate gangster and he hates it. He wants to be Bibi.” – Ilana Mercer

Israel Has Lost the Narrative War, So It Plays the Neocon Wet Dream Card – “Why Trump is doing all this dangerous, batshit crazy stuff NOW” – Ohio Barbarian

Dividing the Oils of War – “To the winner go the oils. The new Donroe Doctrine is already taking shape around Venezuela’s vast oil plays. Chevron has just contracted eleven tankers to start transporting oil out of Venezuela, making Big, Big Oil the obvious winner.” – David Haggith

Grand Illusion – “All empires, when they are dying, worship the idol of war. War will save the empire. War will resurrect past glory. War will teach an unruly world to obey. But those who bow down before the idol of war, blinded by hypermasculinity and hubris, are unaware that while idols begin by calling for the sacrifice of others, they end by demanding self-sacrifice. Ekpyrosis, the inevitable conflagration that destroys the world according to the ancient Stoics, is part of the cyclical nature of time. There is no escape” – Chris Hedges

President Trump Colonizing Western Hemisphere – Genghis Kahn – “President Trump has stated that he has appointed Zionist Stephen Miller to run Venezuela. Major oil company executives who have remained mum over the course of Trump’s statements regarding Venezuela’s oil infrastructure are meeting with Trump the end of the week. At issue is the cost to rebuild the bombed infrastructure so that oil can be extracted. Given oil companies don’t seem too keen on Trump’s proposal/mandate, Trump has reversed his previous mandate and now states US Taxpayers will foot the majority of the bill… In the meantime, Trump and Miller have announced that Venezuela cannot sell ANY oil – it’s main source of revenue. Making the people suffer! A classic Zionist tactic. Torture and Suffering. Oddly, despite Trump’s massive deviance from his campaign promises, he feigns ignorance as to why his MAGA base is fleeing! ” – Helena Glass

‘There was no regime change’ Venezuela’s ex-FM Jorge Arreaza on US kidnapping raid (VIDEO) – “An exclusive interview with President Nicolas Maduro’s former Foreign Minister on the shocking January 3 US raid on Caracas, and where Venezuela goes now that its leader is abducted.” – Max Blumenthal

Escalation-Mad Trump’s Coast Guard Seizes “Russian” Ship 5,500 km From US Coasts – “Today’s latest Trump escalation brings us the capture of an alleged-to-be Russian oil tanker by the US Coast Guard, operating approximately 5,500km from the US coasts they’re meant to be “guarding”, somewhere between Iceland and the UK.In truth, no one seems to quite know who the ship actually belongs to. It was named the Bella-1 and was “allowed” to re-flag itself under the Russian flag days ago, before it began sailing—apparently—toward Murmansk, according to some sources.” – Simplicius

Three Takeaways From The US’ Seizure Of A Russian-Flagged Tanker In The Atlantic – “The overarching trend is that the US is militarily reasserting its historical “sphere of influence” over the Americas, and enforcing the maritime component of “Fortress America” is so important for Trump 2.0 that it’s willing to rubbish the “rules-based order” over it and even risk an accidental war with Russia.” – Andrew Korybko

Multiple Angles of ICE Shooting – “All the videos that captured the Minneapolis ICE shooting as political war rages over who was to blame”- Laura Parnaby  – HAVE WATCHED ALL THE VIDEOS. DOESN’T LOOK TO ME LIKE SHE WAS TRYING TO RUN OVER ANYONE ON PURPOSE. THEY TRIED TO OPEN HER CAR DOOR AS SHE WAS TRYING TO LEAVE AND AS SHE TRIED TO DRIVE AWAY THEY SHOT HER SAYING THAT SHE TRIED TO HIT SOMEONE ON PURPOSE. I CALL BULLSHIT ON THIS ONE!!!!

The Trump Administration Says It’s Illegal To Record Videos of ICE. Here’s What the Law Says – “The Trump administration believes you don’t have the right to record Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in public. This stance is both factually wrong and an attempt to chill free speech by conflating it with violence.” – C.J. Ciaramella

Left-Wing Protest Industrial Complex Activates Across Multiple Cities After ICE-Involved Shooting In Minneapolis – “How did the protesters get those nice, fancy signs so quickly? It didn’t take long. Within hours of an ICE-involved shooting in the Minneapolis area, the Democratic Party’s protest industrial complex moved into action, quickly creating conditions for coordinated demonstrations across multiple cities. The rapid response suggested these nonprofit activist networks were on standby, waiting for a catalytic event, as an army of radicals intensified pressure campaigns against federal agents, blocking streets, harassing officers, and openly doxxing them.” – Tyler Durden

Dan Bongino Comes Out Swinging at ‘Black-Pillers’ Ahead of Attempted Podcast Career Revival – “No doubt, Bongino’s been mulling how to posture when he makes the imminent leap from government insider back to dissident outsider, reaching for an angle to hype. After aggressively pushing the Epstein story for years on his podcast and admonishing his audience to never give it up, specifically in the context of discovering once he became FBI deputy director, Bongino claimed Jeffrey Epstein killed himself, offering as evidence he “saw the file” (“trust me, bro.”) in the larger context of the administration’s obvious cover-up of the files. Anyway, best of luck, Dan. It’s gonna be a slog.” – Ben Bartee

New York’s Death Wish – “History — and a gritty 1970s vigilante flick — offers sobering lessons about what happens when public institutions fail at their most basic task: keeping citizens safe.” – Nikolai G. Wenzel

According to new data from the World Gold Council, the value of gold held by foreign central banks is now approaching the $4 trillion mark, more than their approximate $3.9 trillion holding in US Treasuries.

India Blows Up the Silver Market: Street Dealers Now Selling Physical at $137.85 an Ounce – “Nearly DOUBLE COMEX’s Paper Fantasy Price. Amid all the metal wars between the United States and China, export controls, whitelists, and geopolitical theatrics, the loudest signal today is brutally simple: silver is already a three‑digit metal in India. China is reclassifying silver as a strategic resource, locking 60–70 percent of tradable refined supply behind an export‑licensing wall, while only 44 firms are authorized to ship it abroad through 2027.” – The Silver Academy

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

International Monetary Fund Encourages Linking Credit Scores With Internet Search History To Force Tokenization – The WinePress

Greenland’s Ancient Melt: The Bombshell Study That Buries Climate Alarmism – Dr. Matthew Wielicki

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

ADP Employment Report: +41,000, Mostly at Medium-Size Companies. Small Companies Had First Payroll Gain in 5 Months – “Private-sector job growth slowed to a crawl in the second half.” – Wolf Richter

Age 65 and Won’t Quit as Younger Workers Struggle Finding a Job – “The average age of workers starting new positions has risen sharply since 2022. ” – Mish

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. THANKS TO JON RAPPAPORT FOR LINKING!!!!!

SPECIAL VENEZUELAN NEWS ADDITION

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

When “the system” becomes “the enemy” –  “The lessons of international order for domestic systems. The US mission to venezuela, snatching maduro and his wife from their very home, shattering what was alleged to be a next gen Chinese air defense without a single loss of aircraft, and decapitating a (to many minds) illegitimate and certainly (to any reasonable mind) an oppressive government is a controversial act with widespread geopolitical ramifications that go beyond just Monroe Doctrine, energy, and intelligence community/NGO meddling (though it contains all these things). I shall perhaps dig into that in a later stack, but for the purposes of this one I’d like to speak of the tribal and systemic response to the operation in which all the predictable people are saying the predictable things” – El Gato Malo

Gangster Capitalism – “The Donroe Doctrine of Regional Dominance, Obedience, and Theft. The so-called Donroe Doctrine of hemispheric dominance represents the return of unapologetic gangster capitalism. The basic policy of the Trump administration recalls Michael Corleone, the mafia don in “The Godfather” saga. When his consigliere Tom Hagen asks Michael whether he has to wipe everyone out, Michael coldly replies “Just my enemies.” Anyone who defies the Corleone Family must be eliminated.” – Bill Astore  – ALSO READ CHRIS HEDGES ARTICLE FROM YESTERDAY, IT WAS SIMILAR IN NATURE!!!

Trump the neocon pulls trigger on regime change in Venezuela, and now all of that nation’s problems are our problems – “He ran on a platform of ending the nation-building exploits of the globalists, but now Donald J. Trump has outed himself as the quintessential globalist neocon. Will Iran be next?” – Leo Hohmann

The Merchant of Venezuela. – “The New Year begins on the B of Bang. As Trump shuffles to the preachers podium to explain his Venezuelan shenanigans he looks neither particularly wise nor servile. In fact, I’m half expecting him to announce a two-for-one property deal. Invest in a five-star beach front sand hotel in Gaza and receive a nice two-bedroom condo in Caracas absolutely free of any pound of flesh requirements in the future. I notice his voice and energy are ever weakening in public now. The words carry no punch, enthusiasm or fire anymore. He looks old, scripted, tired and dare I say it—bored. Of course, the Trumpster goes through the motions of explaining why the President of Venezuela and his wife are on a ship bound for the Southern District of New York to face US justice. Now, lest anyone forget the Southern District of New York is where justice goes to die in the United States. It is also where justice goes to suicide itself. It was Jeffrey Espteined outta this place a long, long time ago. So, the future for Mr and Mrs Maduro will be an end of days getting free legal advice from El Chapo in some god-forsaken US federal penitentiary.” – Gerry O’Neill

Trump To Maduro: “You’re Fired!” – “Donald Trump Is Expanding American Power By Wielding American Power. ” – Peter Nayland Kust  – ONE MUST ASK WHY ARE WE EXPANDING AMERICAN POWER, FOR WHAT PURPOSE!!!!

14 Points on Trump Kidnap of Venezuelan President Maduro on the Sixth Anniversary of the Trump Assassination of Haj Qassem Soleimani – “I have tried to collate some of the main talking points on the recent criminal events in Venezuela that have shocked the world in their lawlessness” – Vanessa Beeley – SOME GOOD POINTS FROM VANESSA!!

Maduro & Wife Seen Emerging At DEA Offices, Seemingly Calm, As Maduro Repeatedly Says “Happy New Year” in English; Social Media Floods With Clips Of Venezuelans Waking Up To The News, Weeping With Joy – “Maduro has been seen in at least three different sets of clothes, different colors, since his capture. I’m not sure what it means, if anything. Also, what does this thumbs up signify? That he is cooperating fully with the Trump administration?” – Celia Farber

Regime Tweaking, Not Regime Change, Is What The US Just Achieved In Venezuela – “This refers to keeping the targeted state’s power structure in place but after some (at times significant) changes that advance the meddling state’s interests.” – Andrew Korybko

Visualizing All Of The World’s Oil Reserves By Country – “Global oil reserves are highly concentrated. Venezuela ranks first with an estimated 303 billion barrels of oil reserves.” – Tyler Durden – THAT KIND OF SUMS IT UP, DOESN’T IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Venezuelan Fentanyl: Speedboats Can’t Cross Open Ocean and Other Lies They’re Hoping You Won’t Notice – “Or: ‘How Every Country Without a Western Bank Eventually Gets Liberated” -‘🐺The Wise Wolf

Trump Takes Over Caracas – “This morning’s questions from my Sputnik friends, and my answers. 1) What are the concrete objectives behind these US strikes? Is this primarily a regime-change operation, an attempt to assert control over Venezuela’s natural resources, or a combination of both? My Thoughts: It has to be a combination of both, but that seems almost too simplistic. Trump and the people around him seek control over energy and some concept of support for the dollar in the next decade, and they want a major operational position in South America.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

Trump’s Golden Hour: Historically Flawless Military Masterclass or Just Another Theatrical Production? – “For the Sake of US Supremacy: It Doesn’t Much Matter” – Simplicius  – GOOD ANALYSIS AS USUAL FROM SIMPLICIUS!!!!

Venezuela attack raises WW3 risk – “Why the Venezuelan attack might force a multi-front war. This strike extends a violent reorganization of the global order. By seizing control of Venezuelan energy, the US administration intends to grant Western oil companies direct access to reserves, effectively insulating the West from volatile Eastern markets. It is a bold, perhaps desperate, move to secure resource sovereignty in an era defined by a worldwide poly-crisis. The fallout was immediate. For Russia and China, Venezuela is a strategic foothold in the Western Hemisphere.” – Sarah Connor

Entirely irrelevant Eurotards assure the world they are “closely monitoring the situation” after the U.S. strikes Venezuela and captures President Nicolás Maduro – ” Finally, around noon, the mentally vacant EU foreign affairs girlboss Kaja Kallas logged onto X to assure the world that “the EU is closely monitoring the situation in Venezuela,” as if anybody gives the slightest shit what these people are doing.” – eugyppius

SPECIAL VIDEO FOR TODAY ( THANKS TO BILL ASTORE )

LYRIC FOR THE DAY

I was born on this bank
of the vibrant Arauca River,
I am brother to the foam,
to the herons, to the roses,
I am sister to the foam,
to the herons, to the roses
and to the sun, and to the sun.

The lively Diana
of the breeze in the palm grove lulled me to sleep,
and that is why my soul is like
the exquisite soul of crystal, of crystal.

I love, I weep, I sing, I dream
of carnations of passion,
of carnations of passion.
I love, I weep, I sing, I dream
to adorn the golden mane
of my lover’s colt.

I was born on this bank
of the vibrant Arauca River,
I am sister to the foam,
the herons, the roses
, and the sun.

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

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

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

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

THE BIG PICTURE

2026: Avoiding the All-Seeing Evil Eye and Protecting Your Privacy Will be Increasingly More Difficult – “The REAL danger with Big Tech heading into 2026, is their ever expanding efforts to track every single human being on the planet, and fulfilling the goal of the Freemasons to use the technology as the “all-seeing eye”. This concept of the “all-seeing eye” is actually part of the history of the U.S., and one of the main purposes behind the founding of the U.S. Republic in 1776. The Freemasons from England who founded this nation embedded their Freemasonry symbols into every part of American culture, including our national “seal” which is also printed onto our paper currency. One of the Latin phrases at the bottom of that seal is “Novus ordo seclorum,” which means “A New Order of the Ages.” The Latin phrase at the top of that symbol is “Annuit cœptis,” which means “He/She favors our undertakings.” The common interpretation of that phrase has been that “God” is the one who is referenced here, by the eye inside the triangle. However, the all-seeing eye is historically used as a symbol referring to Satan, or evil, and not to God, the Creator of Heaven and Earth.” – Brian Shilhavy  – EVER WONDER WHY THERE IS OR WAS A MASONIC LODGE IN JUST ABOUT EVERY TOWN IN THE U.S., BIG OR SMALL. THAT’S WHAT GOT ME LOOKING AT THINGS OVER 25 YEARS AGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Rise of the State and the Fall of Natural Law – “December 2025 marks the centennial of Pope Pius XI’s 1925 encyclical Quas Primas, which established the feast of Christ the King. In the encyclical, Pius emphasizes that ideal government is something entirely separate from the temporary, provisional, and corrupted civil governments that rule over the earth for the time being. At the core of this is the fact that, in the realm of civil government, divine rule and human rule do not intersect. In this view, God’s power is exercised not in direct political power, but through “social kingship” which governs the central institutions of civil society, especially the family. In this view, legitimate and just political power can only be rightly exercised when those in positions of leadership in civil society live and govern in accordance with natural and divine law. ” – Ryan McMaken

Stranger Things Than Bardot – ‘Don’t Forget That You Are Going To Die. Humans are a peculiar species. Nothing in our world can pass without narrative framing and attachment to help make sense of events that transpire by ascribing causation or finding correlations. Though we are highly selective creatures, because we often ascribe causes and correlations where none exist, or ignore them all when there are mountains of both.” – The Good Citizen  – LONG AND INTERESTING READ AS USUAL FROM THE GOOD CITIZEN!!!

Bioterror Roundup: ‘Vax Pac’ – “Bernie Sanders, pharma tool, attacks RFK Jr. These people purport to not understand how government works. The president gets elected, the only nationally elected leader. He appoints whom he wants to run the executive branch, pending approval by Congress. After he is approved by Congress, that cabinet member is not required to resign just because random Congressmen raking in pharmaceutical cash demand that he does.” – Ben Bartee

The Hidden Dopamine Trap – “From Addictive Screens to Stolen Joy—and the Path to Feeling Truly Alive Again. Modern children’s content (especially fast-paced YouTube shows like CoComelon) is engineered to maximize watch time through rapid cuts and constant dopamine triggers, creating addictive patterns in toddlers that lead to overstimulation, irritability, and severe tantrums, and when screens are removed. These same dopamine-hijacking tactics have permeated broader society, from addictive processed foods to social media and pornography, shifting us from sustained serotonin-based happiness and presence to fleeting, hollow spikes that leave people feeling disconnected, depleted, and perpetually unsatisfied.” – A Midwestern Doctor

Why Everything Is Built Like Crap Now (And What That Says About Us) – “It seems like more and more people today just don’t care about the quality of what they do. If it works, it works. If it passes inspection, great. If nobody complains, even better. Straight lines, clean joints, attention to detail — those things feel optional now. And I don’t mean pride in a boastful way. I’m not talking about ego. I’m talking about personal standards. The quiet satisfaction of knowing you did something right — not because someone was watching, but because you were.” – M.D. Creekmore

NEWS

Forecast 2026: In the Vortex of the Whirl – “2026 is the 250th anniversary of our country’s conception. A few years later when the Constitution was ratified, we became a republic — “if you can keep it,” Ben Franklin cracked to anxious citizens waiting outside the great hall in Philadelphia. Our country was predicated on the resolve of virtuous men operating under the rule of law. We are lately under an astounding siege of villains without principle seeking to wreck the republic. The big question facing the USA is whether our political life can become even more deranged than it has been in the past ten years, or can we possibly sober up. The Woke-Jacobin war against our country continues, led by a Democratic Party made even more vicious, depraved, and insane by the 2024 election victory of Mr. Trump,” – James Howard Kunstler  – THE DEMOCRATS ARE INSANE, TRUMP IS INSANE. I REALLY DON’T THINK THERE IS MUCH HOPE FOR THIS COUNTRY AND I THINK THAT HAS BEEN THE PLAN ALL ALONG NO MATTER WHO SUPPOSEDLY REPRESENTS US. WHICH NONE OF THEM DO, ACTUALLY!!!!!

Who Is Helping Low IQ Migrants Defraud American Taxpayers? – “I’ve been writing about the inherent fraud behind third-world immigration for many years now, including the rarely addressed issue of remittances flowing from migrants in the US back to their countries of origin. Third worlders tend to act like a nest of vampires, bleeding the US and giving indirect sustenance to their failing home economies. This process is heavily enabled by foreign governments that rely on this river of dollars to stay afloat. This is why political leaders in countries like Mexico and India lobby so hard to keep US borders open. They need that cash. One problem I have consistently seen with mainstream coverage of this issue is that it often overlooks the fact that migrants who steal from American taxpayers almost always have help from people within our government.” – Brandon Smith

7 things you gotta know about the alien invasion crisis – “Who done it and why” – Kenn Gividen

$1.5 Trillion in Government Fraud – “Somali daycare powerhouse Quality Learing Center has closed. If you need to lear your kids you will need a new Somali daycare. Happily, you’ve got thousands of empty ones to choose from. What’s been found so far focuses on the Somali community, where despite nearly 90% of these model immigrants being on welfare they’ve managed to set up tens of thousands of apparently fraudulent daycares, autism therapy centers, food for kids programs, and home health companies.” – Peter St Onge

The Revolutionary Energy of Burkina Faso A couple of optimistic and inspiring videos to start the year – “I thought I’d start the new year off on a positive and optimistic note, but in order to do that I would be hard-pressed to find anything in my own country. Fortunately, there’s this young man in Africa named Ibrahim Traore, whom I have had my eye upon for a few years.” – Ohio Barbarian  – TRAORE IS ALREADY STEPPING ON THE WRONG TOES AND LIKE GADDAFI BEFORE HIM, THEY WILL PROBABLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!

“Locked & Loaded”: Trump Says US Will Intervene If Iran Kills Protesters – “President Trump has just become the first sitting US President to explicitly warn that the United States stands ready to directly intervene in Iran if Tehran authorities begin killing peaceful protesters, as he wrote Friday that Washington “will come to their rescue”.” – Tyler Durden

Trump’s Threat to ‘Rescue’ Iranian Protesters Is Reckless – “The last thing that protesters in Iran need are threats of intervention from the U.S. government.” – Daniel Larison

A Fool’s Kingdom: Trump Says Construction Of ‘Triumphal Arch’ Will Begin In ‘Two Months,’ Says It Will Be Better Than The Arc De Triomphe – “It hasn’t started yet. It starts sometime in the next two months. It’ll be great. Everyone loves it. They love the ballroom too. But they love the Triumphal Arch.” – The WinePress

Who Was The Biggest Antisemite In 2025? – “The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and scores of other Israel-sponsored lobby organizations in the United States spend billions of dollars collectively accusing any and all American citizens of antisemitism who have the intellectual honesty and ethical conscience to criticize the war crimes, crimes against humanity, mass murders, forcible rapes, land thefts, ethnic cleansings and genocide committed by Benjamin Netanyahu and the Zionist State of Israel. Of course, these inflammatory and baseless accusations are regurgitated and repeated endlessly by the Zionist-owned mainstream media and Zionist-bribed politicians. To be sure, every U.S. president since Harry Truman (with the exception of John F. Kennedy, G.H.W. Bush and maybe Richard Nixon) has been unduly influenced by the government of Israel. But never in U.S. history has America had a president more beholden, more bought, more bribed and more bullied into submission than Donald J. Trump. Donald Trump is NOT the leader of MAGA (Make America Great Again); he is the leader of MIGA (Make Israel Great Again). And the only people who do not know that are the ones who do not WANT to know that.” – Chuck Baldwin

Israel Running The Greatest Show On Earth – America – “Tucker Carlson was berated by Trump and thus all his minions for claiming Israel is running The Greatest Show on Earth. Candace has been brutalized for searching and investigating the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Marjorie Taylor Greene was demeaned and shoved aside by Trump for demanding he adhere to his campaign promises. Musk was shunned and demonized by Trump for finding all the government fraud and graft. Massie is ridiculed daily on Truth Social for being a dumb no nothing because he wants Trump to uphold his campaign promises. Israel tells the media that Iran is in Venezuela therefore both Iran and Venezuela need to be eliminated post haste by – Trump. Trump continues to pardon elite banking fraudsters formally convicted for their crimes. Trump is scheduled as one of the main speakers at DAVOS World Economic Forum of globalists – again. The CIA continues to operate unabated in Ukraine launching drone attacks and murdering civilians while Trump claims “no one told me”. ” – Helena Glass

US citizens face growing danger as government advises swift departure from one country – “Travel risks include wrongful detention, terrorism and arbitrary law enforcement as Russia-Ukraine war escalates. The State Department has renewed its “do not travel” advisory for Russia.” – Ashley J. DiMella

The CIA Is Manipulating Trump Against Putin – “Tensions risk spiraling out of control if Trump isn’t disabused of the CIA’s false narrative that Ukraine’s recent large-scale drone attack against Novgorod Region wasn’t an attempt to assassinate Putin.” – Andrew Korybko

Did CIA’s Secret Aiding of Ukraine’s Refinery Strikes Do More Harm to Ukraine Than Russia? – “Spoiler alert: Yes, it did. But maybe that was the plan all along.” – Simplicius

The U.S. economy is facing no shortage of worries as it heads into 2026 – “Progress on inflation has stalled. Labor market looks shaky.” – Greg Robb

Social Security Will Be Insolvent in Six Years. What’s Congress Going to Do? – “Congress last made major Social Security changes 43 years ago.” – Mish

The Interventions Aren’t Working Any More – “Panic is beginning to show up in the financial system. As I noted earlier this week, rumors are swirling that a large, systemically important financial institution is being forced to liquidate its precious metal short positions. We get strong evidence of this from the CME Group which has suspiciously raised margins on precious metals futures trading for the SECOND time in one week (first on December 26 and again on December 31st). The CME raises margins in this fashion whenever it begins to lose control of the precious metals market and is desperate to “flush out” a lot of positions. The fact it has done this TWICE in the last week alone suggests us someone “big” is likely on the wrong side of the precious metals trade. The interventions aren’t working, either.” – Graham Summers, MBA

2025 – Silver sparkled and gold shined – “Precious metal bulls will feel vindicated, but the rise in prices indicates something darker: the dollar’s decline is accelerating, barrelling towards the end of the fiat currency era. In this our final market report for 2025, we look back on what has been driving gold and silver price in 2025, and their outlook in 2026. Our conclusionis that the dollar is dying and the fiat currency era is drawing to a close. This is the message from gold, silver, and indeed the wider commodity and raw materials world.” – Alasdair Macleod

Washington State Targets Savers with New Sales Tax on Gold and Silver, Effective January 1st, 2026 – “While a number of states have ended state sales taxes on gold and silver purchases in recent years, Washington politicians decided to lash out against the public despite a growing affordability crisis, penalizing citizens who seek to insulate themselves financially. Meanwhile, 44 U.S. states have partially or fully ended such taxes.” – Sound Money Defense League

Gardening in January (Garden Tasks by Month) – Melissa K. Norris

Looters Hate These Homemade Deterrents – “During emergencies or civil unrest, intruders can become a real concern. Looting tends to focus on locations with useful or valuable supplies, and prepared households may draw attention when normal protections break down. That’s why awareness and planning matter. Placing deterrents, booby traps, or countermeasures may be illegal in your area, but when the government falls and the laws are no longer enforced, you can begin to deploy whatever deterrents you wish.” – Michael Major

21 Survival Items That Can Last a Lifetime – “As it turns out, yes, there are many survival items that will last you indefinitely (as long as you take care of them) and it is these survival items that could prove to be the most valuable in a disaster. Here are the top survival items that will last practically forever.” – Nicholas Oetken

Winter Goat Shelter to Keep Your Goats Warm – “A goat house doesn’t have to be fancy, but a good winter goat shelter will keep your herd safe and happy through the coldest months of the year. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to raising goats (or any livestock for that matter). But by working with nature, you can raise happy, healthy dairy goats. Goats don’t need a lot of shelter in the winter, but a properly designed goat shelter, barn or house will keep your goats happy all winter long. ” – Deborah Niemann
