THE BIG PICTURE

Full-Out, Digitized Technocratic Rule Is not Around the Corner, It Is Next Door – “While most are only reading or watching headlines, and being completely distracted from the real agendas, concentrating on ‘mass shootings,’ the Epstein files, evil political figures, manipulated weather events, the U.S. military shooting down party balloons, Trump’s multiple lawsuits against everyone, Trump’s takeover of other countries, domestic war and the fake “war on drugs,” transgender madness, and right and left propaganda, this country and the world are in the middle of a monstrous transformation from what is mis-labeled as a ‘democratic’ constitutional republic, to a full out technocratic prison.” – Gary D. Barnett

The Courage to be Kind – “In an increasingly more competitive world, where people more and more reduce themselves to the number on their bank account, it seems to me that being kind to others is more important than ever. By being kind you let that mask of the busy, ambitious career man slip. For one moment you’re just a human being who is kind to another. Without any of the fancy titles and tools you use to distance yourself from them” – Essaystential  – THIS WAS WRITTEN BY A YOUNG MAN WHO IS 16 AND STARTED  A SUBSTACK. HAS MORE SENSE THAN SOME PEOPLE TWICE HIS AGE!!!!

A Closer Look at Wayfair [Pizzagate Part 7] – “Sometimes when you look again, you find new information…” – Agent131711   – THE DEEP DIVE INTO EPSTEIN AND PIZZAGATE BY  CONTINUES AS WAYFAIR IS REVISITED. LINKED ABOUT THIS 6 YEARS AGO ON 7/13/20

Journal Entries From 16 Year Old Epstein Victim Mentions Stolen Babies & High Profile Names – “Allegations in the journal corroborate with long-standing documentation that Epstein was involved in human cloning, eugenics, and transhumanist medical experiments.” – Joe Martino

From Leaks to Files: The Undeniable Proof Jeffrey Epstein Served Israeli Interests – And Why the Press Blames Everyone Else – Robert Inlakesh

All Eyes on YOU: A Christian Response to America’s Coming Surveillance State – “It’s a familiar refrain, yet more surveillance rarely prevents tragedy. It simply ensures the state has omniscience after the fact. The cure is always more control, and the cycle never ends. When a population is frightened or angry enough, they stop asking why and start demanding answers. The government is always happy to step in and save us from ourselves, offering an all-knowing, all-seeing, all-powerful cure for the very disease it facilitated in the first place.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

Regulatory Capture 301: From Enforcement to Exemption: The New Administrative State – “While You’re Watching the Headlines, They’re Rewriting the Rules. The Point of No Return: How C-9 and C-15 Redefine the Rule of Law in Canada” – Connie Shields

ICE Masks Up in More Ways Than One – “Feds could be in your group chat. Homeland security is increasing the use of undercover techniques to infiltrate and interact with social media users in order to collect intelligence and target individuals, documents leaked to me reveal. The new program, called “masked engagement,” allows homeland security officers to assume false identities and interact with users—friending them, joining closed groups, and gaining access to otherwise private postings, photographs, friend lists and more.” – Ken Klippenstein

Can the MAHA Movement Overcome the Influence of Big Wireless? – “Last month, the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) confirmed the agency is undertaking a study on the impact of electromagnetic radiation emitted by modern cell phones. This is part of President Trump’s Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) agenda. However, the influence of Big Wireless corporations and friendly regulators—such as Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr—threatens to undermine efforts to revisit the science around mobile devices.” – Derrick Broze

The Mafia Doctrine in Full Effect (VIDEO) with Max Blumenthal – “Netanyahu is in DC to tank Iran talks and drag Trump into a regional war—and Murdoch media is flooding the zone with Ziocons like Nikki Haley to push him over the edge. Trump sends carriers, Rubio pulls strings, and the sane voices are locked out. Meanwhile, Venezuela’s acting president is being blackmailed with secret indictments while the Trump admin smiles and steals her country’s oil. Cuba is under a genocidal siege—no fuel, children dying—and Rubio won’t even acknowledge their government exists. Russia and China are watching. ” – Judge Andrew Napolitano / Judging Freedom  – GOOD LISTEN WITH MAX AS USUAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sure, Take That Time-Out – “By shutting down the government for a minimum of ten days supposedly over funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Wile E. Coyote Democratic Party is about to blow up another Acme bomb in its mangy muzzle. For at least ten days of the shutdown, the senators will have to explain why proving that you are a citizen to vote is a bad idea — or conversely, why allowing non-citizens to vote is a good idea. So, thanks, Democrats, for sending the senators home to face their voters.” – James Howard Kunstler

EPSTAINED: Why Mainstream News is Protecting Epstein & Friends – “In 1976 a Movie Predicted the Media Would Protect the Elite and That is Exactly Where We are at Today” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

Controlled Demolition: Pam Bondi Has Meltdown Over Epstein, ‘The Dow Jones Is Over 50K Right Now!’ Trump Defends Bill Clinton From Attacks – “In an interview with NBC, Trump said, “It bothers that they’re going after Bill Clinton. I like Bill Clinton. […] He got me. He understood me.”” – The WinePress

Pam Bondi Has Hit Peak Kamala Harris-Level Cringe – “There’s no sugarcoating this one. AG Bondi blew it, bigly.” – Jenna McCarthy

Operation Metro Surge Immigration Crackdown in Minnesota Ends, Why? – “Color me skeptical of the reasons given.’ -Mish

Bad Bunny vs. Turning Point USA – “Nothing but super choices. In America 2.0, our Super Bowls feature 80 percent Black players. At least. This year was a bit of a modern anomaly, as both starting quarterbacks were White. The jock sniffing “journalists” don’t like that one bit. The game this year was incredibly boring. No big plays. No “stars” on either team. And the halftime act has become so overhyped that it often draws more attention than the game itself. But this year, the NFL and its esteemed producer Jay-Z vowed to come up with something even more offensive to White people. As the Black iconoclast Jason Whitlock says, Black people have been conditioned to like whatever makes White people upset. And especially what Donald Trump doesn’t like. So they found a Latino rapper named Bad Bunny. This Bad Bunny-Turning Point USA contest exemplifies the phony Left-Right paradigm, which continues to entice millions and coerce them into voting. With either of those choices, some U.S. leader is going to be, perhaps literally, holding the chair for Bibi Netanyahu. Whether the subpar “entertainment” is in Spanish or Ebonics, it’s being pushed and produced by the same non-Irish elite we’ve come to know and love. Sure, they have front man Jay-Z in this case, whose own shady past includes stabbing a record executive in 1999, a crime for which he was sentenced to three years probation. There are “installed” DEI puppets like Jay-Z throughout this ghettoized culture. The NFL is doing all it can to destroy itself. What kind of business model is it to consistently offend your primary demographic?” – Donald Jeffries – GOOD READ FROM DONALD!!!!!!!!!!!

Trump Gives Iran A Deadline For War That Roughly Corresponds With The End Of Ramadan – “Either way, it appears that a final showdown with Iran is coming. With each passing day, we get closer to the fateful moment when the missiles will start flying. We are being told that the U.S. buildup that we are witnessing in the Middle East right now is “unprecedented in scale”…” – Michael Snyder

I DON’T RECOGNIZE MY AMERICA ANYMORE! – “America is swimming with sharks, and the water is filled with blood. There are two deadly species, Jihadists and Marxists––aka Liberals––and they always work together. Not one of the Muslim Reps in Congress is a Republican. All are aligned with Stalinist Democrats (i.e., Communists). All were elected from areas where thousands of Islamists were planted by Barack Hussein Obama and Joseph Biden, the goal being to embrace globalism by compromising the America they hate.” – Kelleigh Nelson

Boasberg Wants Illegal Venezuelans Back to the U.S.–On Our Dime. – “In a full circle moment, and nearly one year after his infamous demand to return illegal Venezuelans already on plane out of U.S. airspace last year, Judge Boasberg again orders their return.” – Julie Kelly

Orban Is Right: Ukraine Has Truly Become Hungary’s Enemy – “It’s also the enemy of Europe’s conservative-nationalists, who’d be left leaderless if Kiev and Brussels succeed in ‘democratically deposing’ Orban during early April’s next parliamentary elections and replacing his leadership of their movement with a collection of anti-Russian Polish figures.” – Andrew Korybko

 

 

ECONOMIC NEWS

Jobs Are Growing, Breitbart? – Narratives are seductive, and no one should consider themselves immune. Even alternative media outlets are at times guilty of peddling propaganda and not news. Sadly, Breitbart has served up a telling example of this, with John Carney’s puff piece about how well labor markets are doing under Trump.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Schooling The Donald On The BLS Jobs Scam – “There is nothing like a Jobs Wednesday report to remind you that the Donald is utterly clueless when it comes to economic reality. He got a report card for January that shows during his first 12 months, the US economy did not generate a single new job in the goods producing sector! That’s right. The jobs figure (SA) for the combined manufacturing, construction, mining and energy sectors (blue line) for January 2026 was 21,501,000, which was actually 58,000 below where it stood in January 2025 (21,559,000).It is thus hard to see how those “big beautiful tariffs” have generated the boom constantly ballyhooed by the White House. For crying out loud: The jobs count in the entire US industrial economy has been shrinking for the entire past year! ” – David Stockman

Silver slammed in thin trade – “Evidence is mounting that the silver shorts on Comex and London are desperate to close their positions. Will they use the Chinese New Year holiday to this end? In this report, we focus on silver, illustrating how silver derivatives on Comex and London are becoming irrelevant. This is because price discovery has moved to Shanghai, whose premiums are leading to physical metal being drained out of Comex and London vaults. But next week, with Shanghai closed for business, expect even greater price distortions in the days ahead. Indeed, Shanghai is closed as of now.” – Alasdair Macleod  – LINKED ABOUT THIS AS WELL AS YESTERDAY IN KING WORLD NEWS ARTICLE ABOUT THE CHINESE MARKET BEING DOWN FOR THE LUNAR NEW YEAR!!!

Why we’re running out of copper – “LME copper hit an all-time high of 13,300 per tonne ($6.03/lb) on Jan. 6, marking a 50% year-on-year increase. ” – Richard Mills

Homeownership “Wealth” Is a Fallacy – “It seems the housing market is destined to be the target of yet another administration’s clumsy tinkering. In another quiet-part-out-loud incident at the White House recently, the president was asked whether he would declare a national emergency in order to act on housing affordability. Trump responded that he doesn’t want house prices to go down because home valuations are such a large part of the “net worth” of homeowners, especially those in “their later years.” All of the aforementioned bad ideas rest on a flawed assumption—that housing is a financial investment. It isn’t, and never was. Housing is an asset that is essentially a consumption good. It is consumed each day by living in the house and all that entails. The community within which the home exists—and close relationships have been formed—can’t lightly be swapped out for another. Further, significant expense is incurred in maintenance, property taxes, insurance, and capital expenditures that forestall physical depreciation. From a simple numerical perspective, the idea of growing one’s wealth through home price appreciation is absurd. ” – Artis Shepherd

The Biggest Housing Bubble In The Entire History Of The United States Is In The Process Of Bursting – Michael Snyder

China’s Central Bank Keeps Buying Gold—and Dumping US Debt – “‘The reason gold is going up is because of what’s happening in China,’ says Michael Howell, founder of CrossBorder Capital” – Andrew Moran

“Everyone’s Grandma Is Selling The Silver Chandelier, Forks, Knives” As Scrap Volumes Overwhelm Refiners – “Silver’s explosive January rally, which briefly pushed futures prices above $120 per ounce, has since fizzled, with futures trading around $82 as of Thursday morning. Even so, the frenzy has sparked a sharp increase in scrap silver volumes flowing to refiners, ” – Tyler Durden

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

15 DIY Instant Soup Mixes – “The great thing about instant soups is that most of them are as easy to make as a cup of tea. They may not pack a lot of calories, but on a cold day or when you actually have a cold they can be a welcome addition to your diet. One of the primary benefits of adding instant soups to your food storage is that they tend to have a long shelf-life and are inexpensive to put together. Variety is sometimes a challenge with long-term food storage and instant soups can create a lot of flavor options for a potentially monotonous menu.” – Steve Nubie

What No One Told You About Your Guns – “Some Guns Age Better Than Others (and That Matters More Than You Think)” – Kate L. Gilmour

How A Produce-Rich Plate Brings Deeper Off-Grid Rest – “Eat From The Garden, Sleep Like A Stone There’s a reason so many off-grid folks swear by what you might call “garden sleep.” After a long day hauling compost, tending beds, and eating food you grew with your own hands, your head hits the pillow and you’re out like a stone in a creek. That deep, steady rest doesn’t just feel earned—it turns out it’s supported by real science.” – Bill Heid

Survival MD: The Ultimate Guide to Medical Preparedness Book Review – “From the first few pages, it was clear this book was written with real-world scenarios in mind. The layout is clean, the chapters are logically organized, and the table of contents alone tells you exactly what kind of situations the authors expect you to face. It is not theory-heavy. It is problem-focused.” – Darren Kelburn

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
I’m a woman’s man, no time to talk
Music loud and children warm
I’ve been a pedophile since I was born

And now it’s all right, it’s okay
And you may look the other way
We can try to understand
The Devil’s effect on man

Whether you’re a believer or whether you’re a deceiver
I’m still alive, still alive
Feel the city breaking and everybody shaking
And I’m still alive, still alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, still alive, still alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, still alive
Oh, when you walk

THE BIG PICTURE

Total vs. Zero Accountability – “Us peons are under constant threat of repercussions if we so much as get caught not wearing a seatbelt in our own car – never mind whether our not wearing a seatbelt constitutes even a potential harm done to anyone else. And never mind what happens if us peons do not pay what is styled “our” taxes. It’s a hat-tipper that they succeeded in manipulating people to use such terminology. Meanwhile, people who appear to have been party to unimaginably sordid and evil crimes involving children don’t even get hauled in for questioning. At least not so far. On the one hand, we have been assaulted by new and worse revelations regarding the sordid and evil activities of the “elites,” as the psychopathic wheedlers and diddlers who rule over us like to regard themselves. Yet no arrests. No tickets, even. Not even some of the named being visited by the FBI – the same outfit that will soon likely be visiting people who post Wrongthinkful things about our Greatest Ally and you’d better never say otherwise” – Eric Peters

The Banality of Evil and Those Who Said No – “The Epstein files have unleashed a flood tide of bleatings of innocence and accusations of guilt by association. This is just what we’d expect in the Realm of the Banality of Evil, Amidst this flood tide of proclaimed innocence, consider the forgotten few who declined invitations to enter Epstein’s circle of influence. While the files record those who accepted an invitation, those who said no appear to be less well documented. Was it really that difficult to make a few inquiries about the host before saying yes?” – Charles Hugh Smith  – GOOD ONE FROM CHARLES!!!!!

The Gift of Denial – “Healthy denial shields us from constant overwhelm, allowing space for joy, connection, and everyday living. But like any tool, it works best when balanced—healthy denial helps us function, while willful blindness keeps us asleep. The shrew’s gift is knowing when to drop the veil just enough to see clearly, without letting the flood drown us. Use denial wisely: let it protect your peace, but never let it blind you to the moments when action, community, or quiet defiance truly matters.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

Embrace Your Inner Knight Without virtue, we will perish. Regrettably, we live in coarse and vulgar times. Virtue is dismissed as counterproductive or even openly mocked. Christian faith is treated as superstition and regarded as a kind of self-deluding “propaganda” best used either to keep the public docile or as a means of manipulating “uneducated” people into doing things that powerful people wish them to do. Much to our detriment, Western leaders largely see virtue and faith as imaginary spectacles whose only real value comes from how those “magic” words can be invoked to compel “lesser” humans to do what their “betters” command.” – J.B. Shurk

What the Epstein dump is and is not. Juggling intellectual polonium – “Consider: 1 email about pizza proves nothing. 900 emails where a large group of powerful people seem oddly obsessed with it? Now you’re raising questions. Layer on top of that a widespread and bizzare focus on “dentistry” which seems to make no contextual sense save as another code word and then drop the truly disturbing possible connotations of widespread networks all asking about “jerky” and “beef jerky” (that inexplicably, seems to need to be refrigerated) and the idea that you have a large network here speaking in codes about some set of practices that they all certainly seem to know better than to actually name starts to look high probablity,” – El Gato Malo

People just found Epstein’s code word for human meat – “from an email “”Francis has time to come tomorrow to show me how to make it. Jerky class, anyone? He will also bring you a taste of his new jerky recipe from the restaurant and sends a warm hello. He is working at a restaurant called Cannibal and Cooks. Wait for it, beef jerky and steak.” – Drama Investigator  – THESE ARE SICK  F*#K’N  PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why Did Epstein Name His Bank Account After a Child-Eating Demon? – “At some point you have to ask why a billionaire pedophile built a temple to a Babylonian baby eater on his rape island and nobody in the media says a damn thing about that aspect of this shit show.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf and Lily-Rose Dawson

World Ignoring Disaster of CV19 Bioweapon Vax (VIDEO) with Dr. Joe Sansone – Greg Hunter

Senator, who has repeatedly warned about secret US government surveillance, sounds new alarm over ‘CIA activities’ – “A senior Democratic lawmaker with knowledge of some of the U.S. government’s most secretive operations has said he has “deep concerns” about certain activities by the Central Intelligence Agency. Tasked with oversight of the intelligence community, Wyden is one of a few lawmakers who is allowed to read highly classified information about ongoing government surveillance, including cyber and other intelligence operations. But as the programs are highly secretive, Wyden is barred from sharing details of what he knows with anyone else, including most other lawmakers, except for a handful of Senate staff with security clearance.” -Zack Whittaker

Trump and Congress Create Legal Path for Continued U.S.–WHO Collaboration—Despite Formal Withdrawal – “Consolidated Appropriations Act quietly authorizes U.S. personnel to work in WHO-funded programs after Trump’s exit order.” – Jon Fleetwood

Nothing Says “Conservative Christian” Like Kirk’s TPUSA Hosting Kid Rock For Super Bowl Alternative Halftime Show, Who Sings About Pedophilia – The WinePress

Vaccines, Cancer, and The Great Divide – “Here, we have to divide readers and the public into two large camps. You either bow down and believe the mainstream narratives in medicine, or you don’t. What is the relationship between cancer and vaccines is the big question, especially in the case of COVID-19 vaccines, and what more than a few doctors are calling ‘Turbo Cancer’?” – Dr. Sircus

UK Biobank data: high sun exposure is associated with striking reductions in cancer and cardiovascular deaths… – “at the expense of only small increases in fatal skin cancers.” – Jonathan Engler

 

 

 

NEWS

Are We Ready for Weeks Where Decades Happen? – “Turns out, Americans have little to no right to question the long and violent abuse of power by Washington. We know this because we have seen it at home, and because in every presidential election we elected the candidate who promised peace, who then promptly delivered war. Today, in our 250th birthday year, many Americans share an emergent understanding that our government has been lying about literally everything, and taking – or devising to take – everything we have, or hope to have, all the time. Are they right? We can’t argue that the US dollar has lost nearly all its value since 2013, and most of that in our own lifetime – and it has done so as policy, not accident.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

Who’s Next. . . What’s Next. . . ? – “It’s all backstage now. This fraught moment, the power centers locked in the coldest cold of the year, the Spanish language lessons of Bad Bunny behind us, all the real action in the battle to save the country is out of sight, moiling and churning in the deep background. Everybody’s on edge waiting for shoes to drop, praying they don’t drop on their heads. You should have seen Senator Mark Warner (D-VA; Vice-chair of the Senate Intel Committee) on Face the Nation Sunday, frothing at the mouth over Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence (DNI). He cannot believe she turned up at the Fulton County, GA, election warehouse last month, where the FBI extracted 700 boxes of ballots and other evidence for what happened there in the 2020 election. Senator Warner doesn’t want you to find out. Senator Warner, you understand, is one of the darkest creatures slithering through the cypress knobs of the DC swamp, and his lair, the Senate Intel Committee, is a fetid backwater of seditious intrigue.” – James Howard Kunstler

Gitmo or bust: Have Epstein’s sexual predators been punished enough? – “For all the lives they ruined, the actual criminals have faced remarkably little in the way of retribution” – Robert Bridge

If Bondi Will Not Release Epstein Names, Massie Will Do It Himself – ““If the victims want to give names to me, I’m willing,” says Massie.” – Mish

“I Will Not Sit Idly as They Use Me as a Prop”: Is Bill Clinton Moving Back Into Contempt? – “The Clintons are again suggesting that they might not agree to a deposition after previously yielding to the threat of a contempt vote. Hillary Clinton taunted House Oversight Chair James Comer “if you want this fight…let’s have it—in public.” For his part, Bill Clinton seemed more conclusive on X in opposing a deposition: “I will not sit idly as they use me as a prop in a closed-door kangaroo court.” The question is whether the Clintons are again gaming the system after avoiding a bipartisan vote to hold them in contempt.” – Jonathan Turley

“Guardrails” – “The New Dishonest Word of the Moment. If guardrails are so easy for Trump to smash, how are new ones going to restrain the power of ICE and prevent abuses? Remember when we used to talk about laws? That you had to obey the law of the land else be prosecuted for violating it? We need clear and enforceable laws and a system that upholds them, not more “guardrails.”” – Bill Astore

“Aggressive ICE Protests: Wrong Side of History” (VIDEO) -“Forceful anti-ICE protesters believe they are playing the role of David in a David-vs-Goliath scenario, but they are actually anti-Constitution and anti-rule of law, with more in common with Southern secessionists than they think.” – Dr Naomi Wolf

Netanyahu’s son Yair sent to Miami after assaulting his father: Report – “The prime minister’s former private security guard has shared details about the family, calling him ‘not a moral person’ who should be imprisoned for corruption and ‘treason’. ” – The Cradle

Why the Labour Party loathes the pub – “The country pub cannot survive this government of snobs, penny pinchers and puritans. Oh the humanity, oh the magnanimity! Rachel Reeves has heard the cries of pain from the hospitality industry and swooped in to save us. Last week, the UK chancellor announced a whole 15 per cent – yes, 15 per cent – cut in business rates, and a freeze in real terms for the next two years. So it’s all sorted now. Pub closures will cease, and we’re all saved.Except, there appears to be a slight problem with the inimitable Reeves’s maths. She boasts that the average pub will gain an extra £1,650 per year under her rescue package. But when combined with all the other taxes and levies we have to pay, to actually pocket that amount, publicans like me would need to increase our turnover by around £12,500. Remember, pubs have also had to deal with the eye-watering rise in employers’ national insurance, new recycling fees, the minimum-wage bump, beer-duty rises, and much more besides.” – Rory Hanrahan

UK troops active on the ground in Ukraine – Moscow – “Russia has every reason to say Britain is party to the conflict, Ambassador Andrey Kelin has said” -RT

Any New Strategic Arms Control Pact Between Russia & The US Hinges On China’s Participation – “The US’ retention of its nuclear superiority vis-à-vis China is non-negotiable, so it’ll either unilaterally maintain its existing edge outside of strategic arms control pacts or institutionalize it through a new such pact involving China.” – Andrew Korybko

 

 

 

ECONOMIC NEWS

Everyone Is Hopeful On The Economy. Should They Be? – “Is The Economy About To Turn? Which Way—Up Or Down? Is the US economy getting better? Is it getting worse? Is President Trump delivering on Agenda 47? Is he failing to do so? The frustrating answer to all of these questions is “Maybe.”” – Peter Nayland Kust

The King of Cheap Debt is Going to Unleash Another Round of Inflation – “The King of Cheap Debt is living up to his name. Prior to winning the 2024 Presidential Election, former-President Donald Trump routinely attacked the Biden administration for increasing the debt. Among other things, President Trump has accused the Biden administration of racking up “8 trillion in wasteful deficit spending,” spending like “drunken sailors,” looting the Treasury and bringing the “country to the brink.” All of this is ironic because, as Bill King has noted, the U.S.’s debt increased a greater percentage under the Trump administration’s first term compared to that of President Biden’s four years.” – Graham Summers, MBA

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Mental Health Prepping Tips: How to Maintain Well-Being During Long Shelter-In Events – “Most preppers spend years thinking about food, water, security, and power, yet far fewer seriously prepare for what long shelter-in events do to the human mind. Extended confinement doesn’t just test your supplies, it slowly wears down patience, discipline, and emotional control as days blur together and routines start to erode. Anxiety builds in the background, small frustrations feel heavier than they should, and even strong families can find themselves struggling with motivation, communication, and focus as isolation stretches from weeks into months. That’s why mental health prepping tips deserve the same level of respect as stored calories or backup power. Mental stability is survival gear, plain and simple.” – Bob Rodgers

Fertilizer Calculator: Find Out How Much Fertilizer to Use in Your Vegetable Garden – “Did you know that using an all-purpose fertilizer like 10-10-10 regularly can overload your garden with nutrients and negatively impact plant health? If you’re looking for a more environmentally sound and economically advantageous way to garden, then consider making your own vegetable specific fertilizer mixes.” – Tasha Greer

Best Windbreak Trees for Warm or Cold Climates – “Selecting the right windbreak trees is important to create a long lasting shelterbelt. Windbreak trees can be part of a food forest, reduce heating and cooling costs, and more.” – August Neverman

For the self-sufficient homeowner who takes pride in maintaining and improving their property, learning about these essential structural connectors is not just smart—it’s empowering. This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know about hurricane ties: what they are, how they work, when you need them, and most importantly, how to install them yourself.” – Self-Sufficient Projects Staff

THE BIG PICTURE

Give Grace To One Another – “Is a Roman Catholic more “Christian” than a Protestant? Are Evangelicals more “Christian” than Presbyterians? Perhaps the better question is “who decides?” Who on earth today is qualified to decide whether a person is a genuine follower of Christ or not? I am not speaking of people whose words, actions, or stated beliefs clearly contradict what is clearly stated in Scripture. A person who rejects or ignores Christ’s teachings by definition cannot claim to be any sort of “Christian.” There is no real debate to be had on that point. I really don’t care about abstract theologies. Debates over ideas such as “dispensationalism” do not interest me in the slightest. My priorities are how to live out God’s Law and God’s Will in real life.” – Peter Nayland Kust  – GOOD ONE FROM PETER TODAY!!!

Pastors Not Speaking On End Times – “If your pastor is not speaking on esquetology, which is the study of end times, then your pastor is avoiding and ignoring nearly one third of the Bible, including that Jesus spoke on hell and on prophecy more than any other topic. Now, just because end times is difficult to understand, and I get it, it can be a bit overwhelming. I get it. But that does not mean that just because it’s difficult to understand that we avoid it.’ – Armor Of Truth Ministry

The Characteristics of the Super Bowl Ritual – A Vampiric Profit & Energy Transference to the Adversary Beneath the symbol | We’ll all assemble | Oh how we’ll fly | Oh how we’ll tremble” – TriTorch

The Epstein Files Don’t Expose a Sex Trafficker. They Expose a Global Network of Sorcerers Who Rape and Kill Children for Supernatural Power. – “The newest ‘Pedo Files’ batch reveals connections to a Satanic priesthood that traces all the way back to ancient Babylon and has never stopped killing kids.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

The Epstein Files : A Peek Behind the Dark Curtain, Pt. 1 – “Snippets of horrifying reality. The first thing one notices about these files, which are primarily email exchanges between Epstein and usually redacted names, is their overt Jewish nature. Epstein wears his Jewishness on his sleeve. We learn that he has a Talmud in his office. The “conspiracy theorists” report that he had lovingly named one of his bank accounts “Baal,” but the inimitable Fact Checkers now assure us that this was due to a simple scanning error. Epstein mentioned “Goyim” quite a bit in his correspondence. This is a kindler, gentler term for “cattle,” and it is used to identity all non-Jews. In one email, Epstein matter-of-factly states: “Goyim were born only to serve us, without that, they have no place in the world, only to serve the people of Israel.” Well, nothing says “chosen” people clearer than that” – Donald Jeffries

Post-Epstein Document Dump: The Moment for Left-Right Populist Unity? – “That a multinational cabal of sadistic, rapacious pedophiles has infested every major institution of the West, insulated from the law, has never been more indisputable than at present. For years, for reasons that make no logical sense, this simple reflection of reality was coded as “right-wing conspiracy theory” and dismissed out of hand by the self-professed practitioners of respectable journalism. Still, as evidenced by their recent concessions, denying reality is no longer viable. Leftist influencer after leftist influencer, many of whom I follow for reconnaissance purposes, have essentially conceded the premise of Pizzagate, The obvious question then becomes: is anyone going to do anything about it?” – Ben Bartee

Epstein Island Nation: Where Conspiracy Theories Go to Die – “The closing act of anarcho-Jewry clown world? The latest Epstein files release has confirmed what many suspected and some (anti-semites) already knew: that America is ruled by a cabal of Jews. Epstein’s island was not Little St James, but the entire United States. The fact that many of these Jews, including Epstein himself, are sex perverts abusing White women and girls is of course horrifying but largely auxiliary. Jeffrey Epstein was tasked — like his predecessor Robert Maxwell — with running Jewish mafia operations on behalf of Israel, particularly in respect to science, technology and financial investment. His operations likely involved child abuse and trafficking because of his own Judaic proclivities rather than via direct remit, as was the case with figures like Maxwell and Harvey Weinstein. With Jewish rule, child abuse comes pre-bundled along with open borders and cultural degeneration.” – James Eden

The Tokenization of Everything – “The Infrastructure for Biodigital Convergence and the Erosion of Human Sovereignty. Proponents sell tokenization as revolutionary progress. Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, has repeatedly called it “the beginning of the tokenization of all assets,” claiming it will democratize access and make markets more efficient. Institutions celebrate faster settlement, lower costs, and fractional ownership that lets ordinary people “invest” in assets previously out of reach. These promises mask a darker reality: the benefits flow primarily to the issuers and custodians—giants like BlackRock—who retain ultimate control over the underlying assets while the public holds revocable tokens.” – Courtenay Turner

Homeland Security Spying on Reddit Users – “Leak show feds tracking anti-ICE Reddit users like “Budget-Chicken-2425″” – Ken Klippenstein

Obama, Gates, and Epstein: The Week Emergency Rule Became Global Policy – “The Architecture of Global Emergency Rule Was Activated in One Week. Newly released DOJ documents reveal that in the final week of September 2014 — the week Ebola was formally reclassified as a threat to international peace and security — Bill Gates disclosed his upcoming meeting with President Obama to Jeffrey Epstein, and Epstein was simultaneously consulted on a private Obama fundraiser by a former head of state. This was not just a coincidence of power. It was the week the biosecurity state was born.” – Sayer Ji

Australia Proudly Goes Full F**kwit (Part 2) – “When in Doubt, Blame Migrants. For Everything. Even Your Own Stupidity. Humans are a predictable lot. There’s a regrettable scenario we’ve seen play out in Europe and the US, and now it’s happening in Australia. It arises when the population has ‘progressive’ causes rammed down its throat, and the more ‘conservative’ of the populace begins to resent it. Their resentment grows and grows, until some false messiah steps up and masquerades as a champion of the commonfolk. This spruiker declares to the regular folk it’s time to “drain the swamp” and that he/she will take on the ‘elites’. Never mind this shyster is invariably a member of the same parasite class he/she pretends to be fighting against. He/she tells the plebs all the things they want to hear.” – Anthony Colpo  – PART 1 WAS LINKED ON THURSDAY!!

America: The Now Tyrannical Sadistic Police Stat – “If it was not so serious, it would be almost laughable; that is the inversion of ‘thought’ among the competing factions called red or blue, republican or democrat, left or right. The evil red side supposedly is more inclined toward capitalism, gun ‘rights,’ war, and anti-civil rights, but of course that is all a farce. The blue side is supposedly for civil rights, welfare, gun confiscation, and anti-war, but that is also all a farce. Both sides accept most anything, so long as their political ‘god’ is in power. This time around, the evil red team has built a massive police state, mass surveillance, extreme censorship, and war, while the evil blue team has gone along with some things, shunned others, created protest and riots, but reversed on core positions. The gun question in particular has now inverted, as Trump has said no guns, no guns on the street, while the left is now for guns due to the ICE martial law and brutality. You can’t make this up” – Gary D. Barnett

He Can’t be This Stupid . . . Can He? – “The president’s strange outbursts grow more frequent. This happens when the mind begins to slip into the twilight of second childhood, as anyone who has dealt with the phenomenon can attest. It is either that or the man is incredibly – as in unbelievably – stupid. Or it is something much worse. It has to be one of the three. The latest outburst took the form of a video depiction of the Obamas as apes – and himself as a sauntering lion king, fawned over by the other denizens of the jungle. It’s no easy thing to decide which of the two depictions is the worse – in terms of the sheer infantile idiocy of it. His supporters – are there still any? – say it is “fake outrage.” No. It is exasperated disappointment. This gratuitous, pointless video Trump posted – and quickly deleted as the outrage swelled – only served to generate sympathy for the Obamas. It served to give the Left a new talking point. How does this advance the MAGA cause?” – Eric Peters

What Is Genocide? – ‘Man’s Inhumanity to Man.The Israeli government justifies mass theft and mass death as a defensive war against barbaric terrorists, just as the Nazis saw themselves as being at war with inferior Jews and other racial undesirables like the gypsies. The Nazis claimed the Jews were an existential threat to the “master race,” thus all Jews had to be killed, even women, children, and babies. The Israeli government claims Hamas is an existential threat to Jews and that all Palestinians are, more or less, members or supporters of Hamas and therefore must be eliminated (murdered or expelled). Women, children, babies: they’re all Hamas. Today, there is great resistance (certainly among U.S. politicians) to the idea that Israel is conducting a genocide in Gaza. Most U.S. politicians prefer to think of it as a morally justifiable war against Hamas, and even if they don’t completely buy that, they give Israel everything it wants, weapons and money, to facilitate that genocide. Like Pontius Pilate, they wash their hands of blood shed in Gaza, blaming Hamas (or, perhaps for a few, quietly blaming Israel without daring to say it).” – Bill Astore  – GREAT POINT FROM BILL, BUT IT MAKES YOU A SO-CALLED ANTISEMITE FOR POINTING OUT THAT THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE!!!

Young America’s Affordability Crisis Has Political ConsequencesAP One and a half million more young adults live with their parents today than a decade ago. They’re losers … economically. Since the pandemic, fair market rents have increased as much as 40% in Chicago, the cost of owning a car is up more than 40%, and car insurance and health care prices have spiked. Student loan debt has quadrupled since 2000, and entry-level wages haven’t kept pace with inflation. For young people without financial or family support, it’s an affordability crisis that feels insurmountable. Cost of living was Gen Z’s top political issue in 2024; they feel the “American Dream” slipping farther away.” – Micky Horstman

We’ve already established how it’s been clearly implied by Trump’s renewed threats against Iran’s “nuclear” capabilities that Operation Midnight Hammer was a total failure, or a con job. The US administration does not even attempt to keep its stories straight anymore, simply crafting narrative impromptu as necessary. But what has become obvious is that the latest stunt is an attempt by the roi fainéant orange not to eliminate the threat of Iran’s nuclear capabilities, but rather to entirely neuter its conventional strike potential at the secret behest of Israel.” – Simplicius

YouTube “Asian Guy” AI Bot Manipulates, Spooks Investors with Nonsense Claims – “There is a new viral trend on YouTube and social media of an “Asian Guy” generated by artificial intelligence (AI) tools, spreading mostly false or misleading information across the precious metals industry. At this point, you might stop and ask yourself, “If it is obviously AI, why are so many people falling for it?” It likely has to do with people’s attention span and their willingness or ability to research everything they see or hear. And not everything the “Asian Guy” AI bot says is a falsehood… but there is so much fabrication and half-truths peppered throughout. Some of these AI junk videos have gone viral, leading many to believe that the high viewership must mean they are reliable or authentic. It’s unknown whether Asian Guy videos are an intentional misinformation operation or just riddled with AI hallucinations. ” – Joshua D. Glawson

AI has turned an already chaotic media landscape into an asylum run by its inmates.

IMAGES FOR THE DAY

 

 

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

I’ve been lost inside
Empty space in my heart
And some things never change, oh

How it hurts me and
How it’s tearin’ me apart
And it just goes on and on

Can you read my mind
Take a good look at my face
Could you take the time
Just to stand here in my place

What if I’d been the one
To say goodbye, goodbye
Could you smile when inside
You just wanna cry, look inside
Can you read my mind, oh, whoa

When I hear your name
Feel so cold deep inside
Still it’s hard to explain, oh

What your love meant to me
They say time will heal the pain
But it just goes on forever

Can you read my mind?
Have you closed the door on love
Can you be so blind?
Did you think I’d just give up?

What if I’d been the one
To say goodbye, goodbye
Could you smile when inside
You just wanna cry, wanna cry

What if I’d been the one
To say goodbye, goodbye
Could you smile when
It hurts so deep inside
And it never fades away
Fade away

Time can’t erase the reasons why
Count my mistakes and the heartaches
Since you said goodbye

What if I’d been the one
To say goodbye, goodbye
Could you smile when inside
You just wanna cry, wanna cry

What if I’d been the one
To say goodbye, goodbye
Could you smile when
It hurts so deep inside
And it never fades away

Never fades away
No, it don’t fade away

THE BIG PICTURE

EXCLUSIVE! Gold and Silver Dealers Start Restricting Buy Backs – May Soon Stop Buying Back Altogether – “The fact that the rapid rise in value for gold and silver for the past few weeks could actually be negative, is a thought that had never crossed my mind, until this week, when I tried to sell some of my gold, and found out just how difficult it was, and may soon be impossible. I want to be very clear here that I am not offering financial advice, and that this article is ONLY about people who own physical gold and silver that they have in their possession.” – Brian Shilhavy  – VERY GOOD ARTICLE FROM BRIAN.

THIS IS  A PART OF THE THE BIGGER PICTURE THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Madness!. (VIDEO) – “It seems right enough that we are living through a time of change. But we flatter those elites if and when we think all of that change is entirely of their doing and choosing. They are taking advantage of uncertainty for certain. But the change feels much bigger than them more than they’re doing alone. Maybe they have done no more than take advantage of knowing in advance about the change that’s coming and then then acted selfishly and only in their own interests as we should expect by now.” -Neil Oliver  -GOOD ONE FROM NEIL AS USUAL!!!!

Zero Hour approaching – “So this is how the whole drama is coming to: either neo-Caligula and his “massive armada” pauses, opening some room for talks, and he ends up saving the global economy; or we have the Gates of Hell opened in West Asia.” – Pepe Escobar

American Gestapo/American Psycho – “​The thugs from ICE whom the federal government has sent to Minneapolis have produced murder and mayhem on a scale far more violent, disruptive and disturbing to human life than have the immigrants residing there without papers. ​Under the Constitution, immigration — who can legally come to and remain in the United States — was left to the states to regulate; and naturalization — who can become an American citizen — was left to the feds. ​The White House has defended the ICE killings of two innocent Americans in the maelstrom of Minneapolis by using phrases like terrorist, agitator, assassin and self-defense. In the process of politically smearing two dead victims, it has tried to divert attention away from the ICE Gestapo-like tactics in the streets. And, in an act of obstructing justice, ICE has kept all the evidence of these murders from state investigators. ​Are the masked men in the streets immune from prosecution for murder as the White House claims?” – Judge Andrew P. Napolitano

Wild: Dick Durbin Shares Fake AI Picture of Pretti Shooting on Senate Floor Because Nothing Matters – “Sen. Dick Durbin (IL-D) shared a fake AI-created photo of the Alex Pretti shooting on the Senate floor on Wednesday, alleging it was a depiction of the “last second” before he was killed. It shows a CBP officer standing behind Pretti, gun to the back of his head. Another officer is seen taking a knee. The problem? He’s missing his head, and that’s just one of the things that shows it’s AI and not a real representation of the scene.” – Bonchie

New Footage Appears To Show Alex Pretti Spit At ICE, Break SUV Tail Light In Prior Minneapolis Confrontation – “The video, verified by the BBC, captures what appears to be Pretti screaming at federal agents while they were driving away during a Jan. 13 protest. As their SUV leaves, he kicks the taillight – breaking it, causing agents to exit the vehicle and tackle him to the ground. The agents continue to hold him down until he retreats and joins a crowd shouting at agents, as his gun is visibly tucked into the back of his pants.” – Tyler Durden

So why have the ringleaders not been arrested? Why have you not shut down the funding? – Lara Logan on X

The Squirt Heard ‘Round the World – “I am not a connoisseur of apple cider vinegars, so I don’t really know what was going through the head of that weirdo who squirted a flavor injector syringe of the stuff on an ugly sweater Ilhan Omar was wearing Tuesday night, but I suspect it was drugs. OK, I suspect it was either drugs or hoping he’d remember his cue and things would go as well as they did in rehearsal. I’m not saying the whole thing was a staged event, but if you were a stupid person trying to distract from all the problems Omar has found herself in recently, this would be near the top of the list for that. Also curious was Ilhan’s lack of concern for whatever was squirted on her. If you fear for your life, you might worry it was some kind of toxin or acid, but she only asked for a napkin and “refused” to go get medical attention or have it tested.I don’t know how it went it dress rehearsal, but the blocking made the Oswald Prison Transfer look like it was choreographed by Bob Fosse. ” – Derek Hunter

Hate Hoax? The Omar Attack and the Case for a Federal Investigation – “Political violence is corrosive to a republic. It poisons trust, inflames fear, and invites retaliation. That is why the attack on Rep Ilhan Omar demands seriousness, restraint, and a full commitment to truth. In this case, there are reasons to believe the incident could fall into one of two categories. It may have been an authentic attack carried out by a deeply troubled individual. It may also have been a staged or facilitated incident, what is commonly called a hate hoax. At present, both possibilities remain live. That uncertainty alone is enough to require federal intervention.” – Alexander Muse

Instead, she allegedly allowed multiple rapists to potentially rape other women. This is a PhD candidate at a leading university. What is particularly astonishing is that, according to her X profile, Krauthamer is a PhD candidate working on “sexual violence & contemporary fiction.”” – Jonathan Turley

Will Gold and Silver Tank Along With Equities? – “The broad equity indexes — especially the tech-heavy NASDAQ — are falling hard this morning. This was always going to happen at some point, with the real question being how it would affect gold and silver. Today, we’re getting a glimpse of an answer. Gold and silver were way up in overnight trading. But when the NASDAQ opened with a quick 400-point loss…the metals tanked in sympathy: Equity flash crashes that pull precious metals down happen every once in a while (most recently in 2020 and 2008), and they’re not pretty.

It’s easy. Add layers. Buy better gloves. Upgrade your boots. Insulate the house. And sure—those things matter. But they all assume the same thing: that your body is actually delivering heat to your hands and feet in the first place. When blood stops moving, no amount of insulation can save fingers that have gone pale, stiff, and useless. That’s the failure point nobody likes to talk about.

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 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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

In reality, vulnerability appears much earlier — when visibility drops, routines change, and uncertainty increases. People testing doors or lingering near properties aren’t looking for confrontation. 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

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!!!

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

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.

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

Heat, power, water, and emergency response. It feels logical, but it’s also wrong. Urban winter survival starts with understanding that cities don’t fail slowly in cold weather. They fail all at once.” – Bob Rodgers

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

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

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

“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

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

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.

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

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
