THE BIG PICTURE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

NEWS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ECONOMIC NEWS 

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

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

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

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

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

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

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

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

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

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

25 Things To Get Before a Great Depression – Alan Urban

VERSES FOR THE DAY

Acts 28:27-28    For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.  Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.

SPECIAL VENEZUELAN NEWS ADDITION ( DAY 2 )

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SPECIAL VENEZUELAN NEWS ADDITION

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SPECIAL VIDEO FOR TODAY ( THANKS TO BILL ASTORE )

LYRIC FOR THE DAY

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

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

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

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

 (Alma llanera by Pedro Elias Gutierrez and Edman Ayres de Abreu )

THE BIG PICTURE

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

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

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

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

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

Cloudseeding Above Northern Indiana Skies Are Getting Out Of Control, Nonstop Near Daily Spraying With Impunity – “How much do you want to bet self-assembling nanotech is being deployed with this chemical brew? Yet nobody notices, nobody cares.” – The WinePress

Indoctrination brought to you by Big Sports – “If 100 million people care about sports, the psy-op exerts are going to go where the people are.” – Bill Rice Jr.

Study Finds Bovine Colostrum 3× More Effective Than Flu Vaccination in Preventing Flu Illness – “Participants experienced ~60% fewer illness days and ~75% fewer flu-like episodes with bovine colostrum compared to flu vaccination.” – Nicolas Hulscher, MPH

NEWS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ECONOMIC NEWS

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

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

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

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

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

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

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

It’s about not being caught off guard when the conditions that break systems—freezing rain, high winds, heavy snow, long nights—also increase the chances of opportunistic theft and delayed response times. In Canada, January is the month where many households discover their “security plan” was actually just a Wi-Fi camera and a porch light.” – denob

THE BIG PICTURE

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

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

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

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

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

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

NEWS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to raising goats (or any livestock for that matter). But by working with nature, you can raise happy, healthy dairy goats. Goats don’t need a lot of shelter in the winter, but a properly designed goat shelter, barn or house will keep your goats happy all winter long. ” – Deborah Niemann

THE BIG PICTURE

Prebunking the prebunk at home and abroad – “As generally seems to be the case with multinational organizations purporting to serve some good or noble cause, the European commission, the UN, the WHO, USAID, NATO, and pretty much any other you’d care to name, has devolved into some weird hybrid of an impositional aristocracy making pretense to democracy and moral rectitude and an actual organized crime syndicate. And the game is really starting to heat up because it’s becoming clear that a lot of the things those organizations have been up to are about to come to light in relentless technicolor detail with receipts galore.” – El Gato Malo

You Don’t Need a Sword To Fight for God – “The Battle Is Not Won With Swords But With The Courage To Choose Good When Evil Is Easier. Christ told us plainly that the path is narrow and few will find it. He did not say this to discourage us but to prepare us for the truth that following Him would never be easy. The world is designed to pull you away from that narrow road at every turn. Every billboard and every screen and every whisper of temptation exists to drag you off the path and into the wide road where the crowds walk toward destruction without even knowing where they are headed.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

Unmasking The Great Ozempic Scam – “The GLP-1 saga epitomizes the unsustainable corruption within our medical system” – A Midwestern Doctor

Yes, the nuclear family matters – “The nuclear family—the version with a mom, dad, and kids—has long been a fixture of not just American life, but largely human life. The early days of mankind’s existence featured polygamy, sure, and it still pops up in various places, but monogamy has been the norm in the Western world since Christianity firmly took hold. Still, what we see is that the nuclear family is important for kids and their development as productive members of society. Which is probably why Marxists want to destroy the nuclear family. After all, if many of our problems can be solved via the family, there’s less reason for anyone to turn toward socialism/communism. ” – Tom Knighton

Steve Kirsch and Denis Rancourt run defense for Bill Gates, Albert Bourla et al. – “When they tell you the first time, you should believe them.” – Sasha Latypova

We Are All Indigenous Now – “How financial cleansing supplanted ethnic cleansing in the United States. Indigenous Americans are very well aware of this history, and so are minority groups like Blacks and Latinos who saw all sorts of nefarious tactics used against them to either prevent them owning land in the first place or driving them off of it if they already did. There are people writing right now that this was, and is, white supremacy. Often it was. What those writers will never tell you is that white people have been financially cleansed out of their homes as much or more often than anyone else throughout our history, albeit not because they were white. Mainly it was because they had the property some banker could take at the time.” – Ohio Barbarian

NEWS

Above Average – “Immigrants, legal and otherwise, are the gifts that keep on giving. Minnesota is acting all indignant now over the discovery that its many thousands of Somali guests made a major industry of looting the government. What is it with Garrison Keillor’s upright descendants of the pioneers? I guess they’re not as “above average” as he used to tell us. The fellow in charge, for instance, was one Tim Walz, recently a candidate for Veep, if you can believe it. He seemed oblivious to the scam-o-rama going on, though the “Little Mogadishu” neighborhood in Minneapolis is only a couple of miles from the governor’s mansion across the Mississippi River in St. Paul.” – James Howard Kunstler

The Somali Patronage System has taken Hold of Minnesota Politics – “The United States has long comforted itself with a story about immigration. People arrive poor and traumatized, they struggle, and over time they assimilate. Languages fade, loyalties widen, and civic norms take root. That story has been true often enough to feel like a law of nature. But it is not a law. It is a wager. And in the case of Somali immigration, particularly in Minnesota, the wager is failing in plain sight.” – Amuse on X

Minnesota Forecast: 40 More Miles of Fraud – “This week’s political weather brought to you by an intrepid 23-year-old YouTuber” – Jenna McCarthy

The EU Is Afraid – “Something in the X algorithm shifted over Christmas. I don’t know what happened, but now my feed is flooded with pro-EU posters ,I’ve never seen most of these posters on X before, they came out of the woodwork, as if I’ve been suddenly targeted, but I have no way of knowing how that would happen unless internally, leftists within the X organization, flipped some switches. What I discovered, though, was confirming my every bias when it comes to the EU.” – T.L. Davis

Take out a loan; pay it back–outrageous! – “It was Barack Obama who federalized the student loan industry. The consequences were inevitable. Provided a bottomless federal money source, colleges began admitting anyone who could obtain a federal student loan, which was just about anyone. Students who no competent college would have admitted in the past were greeted not because of their potential for academic success, but for their federal loan dollars. It took very little time for the trends to become obvious. A great many people who shouldn’t have been in college were dropping out after a year or two with enormous loan debt they had no skills, education or ability to repay. By September of 2025, total student loan debt stood at $1.81 trillion dollars. In an obvious attempt to buy votes, Joe Biden’s handlers, after pausing loan repayment for years, tried to forgive the student loans of up to 43 million former students, a move struck down by the Supreme Court in 2023. Now, the Department of Education has shut down the hope of shifting the loan burden to taxpayers: ” – Mike McDaniel

Christians are Disappearing from the Middle East – And the West Is Doing Nothing About It – “For nearly two millennia, Christianity has been woven into the fabric of the Middle East. Long before Europe adopted the religion, ancient churches flourished from Jerusalem to Damascus, Antioch, Mosul and Alexandria. Today, those communities are disappearing at an alarming pace, and not only is it going unreported, but it’s more impactful than most realise.” – George Calder

Data Blackout: Another Government Shutdown Looms To Start 2026, Allowing The Trump Administration To Not Report Key Statistics – “Anything to divide, distract, and blot out the collapse, the government and the media will do it.” – The WinePress

The U.S. Government Is Not the Daddy of U.S. Oil Companies – ” Venezuela never stole “our oil,” especially if one is referring to you and me and most other American citizens with the use of the possessive pronoun “our.” That’s because neither you nor I or the vast majority of other Americans ever owned Venezuelan oil. For that matter, the U.S. government didn’t own any Venezuelan oil either. It was U.S. oil companies that were granted concessions from the Venezuelan government near the beginning of the 20th century to extract oil from Venezuela in return for payment of concession fees to the Venezuelan government.” – Jacob G. Hornberger

Did the U.S. Just Strike Land in Venezuela? Trump Says We Hit a ‘Big Facility’ Hard – Bob Hoge

Trump Corollary Challenges China in Peru. Withdraw from “Belt and Road initiative” (BRI) – “China’s commercial infrastructure investment in Latin America threatens the Trump Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine. In February, following Trump’s successful effort to force Panama to withdraw from China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the administration set its sights on Peru and its Chancay megaport. The port facility, located 80 kilometers from Lima, the Peruvian capital, was constructed by China’s COSCO Shipping at a cost of around $1.3 billion. Chancay Port is considered China’s flagship project in Latin America and it has a 60% stake in the port and exclusive operating rights.” – Kurt Nimmo

Is Asian Guy a False Flag? – “As most of you have noticed, the precious metals space on YouTube is being flooded with AI/human hybrid deep dives into the suddenly crazy-volatile silver market. Why now? Who are these people? And how are they suddenly able to produce a tsunami of riveting content? Gold stock analyst Don Durrett just posted an interesting explanation:Question #1: What is the motivation behind these videos? I can only think of two: 1) Make Money. This one seems obvious, but I think it is misdirection. The next reason has more validity. 2) The government is front-running a shortage. They know it’s coming, so they want to control the outcome. Thus, they are pushing the inevitable, with a plan in place once it occurs.” – John Rubino

The End Game Has Begun For Our Current Financial System – “Gold and silver are signaling that the end game is approaching. For decades, central banks have “papered over” the decline in living standards (falling real incomes relative to increased costs of living) with easy credit/ money printing. This scheme only worked because throughout that period, the bond market was in a super cycle bull market that resulted in yields falling steadily, allowing governments to issue gargantuan amounts of debt without triggering a debt crisis.” – Graham Summers, MBA

The theory claims that thirteen families control the world through bloodlines traced back to Genesis 6, to the Nephilim, the offspring of angels who bred with humans before the flood. Comment sections fill with people sharing RH-negative blood test results as proof of hybrid ancestry. The names appear again and again: Rothschild, Rockefeller, Windsor, the Merovingian dynasties stretching back 1,500 years.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

Europe was humanity’s place or origin – “Evidence. The longstanding “Out of Africa” theory has dominated discussions on human evolution for decades, positing that modern humans and their ancestors first emerged on the African continent before spreading across the globe. However, recent fossil discoveries and reevaluations of ancient remains are painting a different picture—one where Europe plays a central role in the story of human origins.” – Kenn Gividen

A win: HHS under RFK Jr terminated $ millions for the criminal cartel called “American Academy of Pediatrics”. – “Sincere thanks to Robert Kennedy Jr and his administration” -.Sasha Latypova

Candace Owens and the Internet Brainrot Industry – “This happens with all major shootings, and with many other events besides. It is literally impossible for any high-profile personality to be shot without widespread scepticism that this “lone gunman” could have pulled off the crime and insistence that his deed must have been the fruit of some shadowy, sophisticated cabal. What is more, the various theories in this genre enjoy popularity with heavily overlapping audiences. Many people appear to believe that shooters working alone are just not a thing and that all major assassinations reflect conspiratorial plans.” – eugyppius – GOOD POINTS HERE FROM EUGYPPIUS, HOWEVER, I STILL THINK A PERSON NEEDS TO LOOK AT ALL ANGLES, EVEN THE PSYOP ONES WHEN TRYING TO GET TO THE TRUTH, THAT’S WHY I WILL LINK VARYING OPINIONS AND LET THE READER FORMULATE THEIR OWN OPINION!!!

All the World’s a Hoax: Crisis Actors ‘R Us – “Who writes these scripts? We have just seen another of these seemingly endless mass casualty events. This one happened at Bondi Beach, Australia. These events occur so fast and furiously that they are forgotten even more quickly than other, non-mass casualty widely reported events. Some people actually still believe that they are real, organic incidents. Then, just when we were trying to process this latest assault on the world’s most prominent community of victims, a story right out of the pages of the classic Kenneth Anger book Hollywood Babylon broke. Prominent director Rob Reiner, still best known as the Meathead on the TV series All in the Family, was found stabbed to death, along with his wife, in their home. But you can be certain that we won’t be told the entire truth about the murder of Rob Reiner any more than we’ll be told the truth about the Bondi Beach incident. Hollywood has a bigger Body Count than perhaps even the political world” – Donald Jeffries

The Rise of the Kosher Mafia [Part 1] – “Out of the 2.3% of the United States that are Jewish, it is reported that only 10-20% of Jewish families practice kosher laws. So, that means 10% of 2%, or 0.002, of Jewish families practice kosher laws – a fraction of a small fraction. What must be questioned is why and how kosher logos are on everything, and I do indeed mean everything, in the grocery store.” – Agent131711

Laetrile Case Histories Revealed (VIDEO) – “Laetrile Case Histories documents 62 detailed records of cancer patients who often sought treatment after exhausting conventional options. Their stories tell a powerful tale: recovery is possible, and the medical establishment has been lying to us for decades. After leaving the system behind, Dr. Aranda turned to natural healing. Her husband was battling bladder cancer, so she put him on a protocol based on apricot seeds and enzymes. He recovered. That experience led her deeper into a world the medical establishment doesn’t want you to see.” – Daily Pulse with Maria Zeee

NEWS

All Government Is Dictatorial Because All Government Is Totalitarian – “I am not saying that every country that has a government (all countries) is a pure dictatorship, as that would indicate that one man (a dictator) had absolute power over each country. What I am attempting to describe is that all government is dictatorial, in that regardless of the political structure, whether monarchy, socialist, communist, fascist, democratic, or other, the rule under any government is isolated among a very few, (including democracy/republic) which is in most cases likely an oligarchical rule, but one in which rule by these few is based on a single agreed upon and arranged objective, or single ideological agenda. In essence, since government is strictly autocratic by its very nature, and totalitarian in its method, it has to be dictatorial in its mind-set. So why do so many continue to laud, worship, and support government and rule? ” – Gary D. Barnett

Pirates Of The Caribbean – “The maniacal, Machiavellian, murderous monstrosities of the Trump White House fall upon the world like a monsoon. Small private boats continue to be bombed by Pete Hegseth and the new Department of War Crimes. The Trump-backed gangsters in Tel Aviv continue to slaughter innocent people in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and Syria. The Trump-backed ISIS head choppers continue to murder Christians and Alawites. And now, in an act of brazen piracy, Trump seizes a Venezuelan oil tanker in international waters.” – Chuck Baldwin

Trump Announces Full Naval Blockade of Venezuela’s “Sanctioned” Oil Exports – “It appears the Trump administration is finally preparing to escalate the Venezuelan conflict once and for all, after Trump himself had told reporters that ‘ground strikes’ would begin ‘soon’ on Venezuelan soil. Trump then jumped the shark with his announcement of a full-scale naval blockade of Venezuela’s oil tankers in the most pompous way befitting his usual deportment:’ – Simplicius  – LINKED ABOUT THIS YESTERDAY AS WELL. AS USUAL, SIMPLICIOUS GOES INTO DETAIL!!!

Yes, It’s About the Oil – “Good Old-Fashioned War for Resources and Profit” – Bill Astore

Trump Gave A Speech To Start The Mid-Term Elections – “Trump Means To Dominate The 2026 Election Cycle. Will He Succeed? Was it an effective speech? Did President Trump accomplish what he hoped to achieve? People will have to make up their minds about such questions on their own. Corporate media will in due course “fact check” the speech, and engage in a myriad of ways to belittle and demean the address. How effective they will be in that regard remains to be seen. I encourage everyone to read Trump’s words for themselves. Listen to what he had to say. Gauge whether he spoke fairly or no, whether he was honest or duplicitous.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Dan Bongino Makes a Big Decision About His Future – “The FBI deputy director put the rumors to rest with a short social media post.” – Graham J Noble

NY Times Declares War on Homeschooling & Parental Rights – “Amid an escalating global assault on home education & parental rights, the “newspaper of record” just published a piece demanding draconian government control & oversight of homeschooling nationwide.” – Alex Newman -READ BILL’S ARTICLE BELOW AND YOU CAN SEE WHY PEOPLE WANT TO HOMESCHOOL AND ALSO THEY ARE SICK OF THE GOVERNMENT CONTROL. ALL OF THIS IS ACTUALLY PART OF THE “BIG PICTURE” AS WELL!!!!

The Project to “Dumb Down” America … Worked – “… An initiative that qualifies as another “Key to the Operation” … This is because the “masses” – if they suddenly became enlightened and engaged – would pose the only real threat to the Powers that Be. Said differently, if hundreds of millions of adults remain oblivious to toxic initiatives, “We the People” are never going to rise up and demand real change, drain the swamp … or go to the garage, grab our pitchforks and march with neighbors to the U.S. Capitol or Wall Street. While it took many decades and required a march through several core institutions, Project Dumb Down America clearly was a spectacular success for the ruling classes.” – Bill Rice Jr.

EU Desperate to Find a Way to Use Frozen Russian Assets to Fund Ukraine – “Volodymyr Zelenskyy is huddled with European Leaders at the European Council meeting in Brussels. The key effort by the assembly is how to use frozen Russian assets to give money to Ukraine. The EU itself does not want to lend Ukraine money directly because people within each nation of the EU assembly do not support giving Ukraine more money. The issue reflects a political disconnect where the EU leaders want to give money that the EU citizens do not support giving.” – Sundance

Proof That the Nazis Were Socialists – “Joseph Goebbels, the chief propagandist for the Nazi Party, loved socialism. And his own speeches prove it.” – Jon Miltimore

EU Will Look ‘Weak’ If It Doesn’t Confiscate Russian Funds, Zelensky Tells Crunch Summit – Tyler Durden

Five Reasons Why The Newly Declared Ethiopian-Indian Strategic Partnership Is So Important – “The centrality of shared digital- and AI-driven development therein is arguably the most significant feature of their new relationship, which is the means through which India plans to compete with China in a friendly way for hearts, minds, and markets across the Global South.” – Andrew Korybko

ECONOMIC NEWS

The Trump Sounds and Plays a Brazen Tune Signifying Nothing – “…while a 4-year high in the unemployment rate doesn’t sound like much, remember that takes us back to the greatest unemployment period in US history—the time when we were still coming out of the nationwide, government-forced Covid lockdowns. We will be hard pressed to ever beat the high bars set in those years for the unemployment rate. If we skip the huge anomaly in employment caused by the Covid lockdowns, then our overall unemployment rate of 4.6% takes us back to the unemployment level at the start of 2017. ” – David Haggith

Today’s Doctored CPI Inflation Release is like a Bad Joke, but Very Serious (though it Suits the Administration’s Narrative) – “No CPI data for October, partially made-up CPI data for November, and now 3 months’ of doctored OER data which weighs 26% of overall CPI.” – Wolf Richter

Fed Inflation Target Nears As US CPI Tumbles More Than Expected In November – “‘A grain of salt’ is how many have described their position on this morning’s government shutdown-delayed release of October and November Consumer Price Inflation data.” – Tyler Durden

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Simple Preparedness for Beginners: Start Here – “Emergency Prepping is easier than you think! This guide is for people starting from zero. You don’t need special skills, a big budget, or to change your lifestyle. You just need a few basics that match how you already live. Start With These Three Things Today If you do nothing else, do this: Fill a gallon jug with water for each person in your home Put a working flashlight somewhere you can find it in the dark Buy extra cans or jars of food you already eat That’s it. You’ve started.” – Jason Salyer

How to Plan a Bigger, Better Vegetable Garden – “Before you so much as lift a rake, considering what you’re going to grow, where you’re going to grow it, and when you’re going to sow or plant it will help you to get the most from your garden. Spending time planning before you start sowing helps you to maximize your harvests.” – Benedict Vanheems

Survive Balkanization and Collapse with a Dual System – “Balkanization is the fragmentation of a larger region or state into smaller regions or states, which may be hostile or uncooperative with one another. Now, that duality of the system means that the regular system is not working for you, so there is a “parallel” system to the existing one where you can “swim” and survive. That means you will have to become a master of networking. Everywhere, you will have a connection.” – Selco Begovic

Communications Under Winter Stress: Staying Informed When the Lines Go Quiet – “Canadian winters have a consistent track record of exposing weaknesses in modern communications. Heavy snow, ice storms, high winds, and prolonged cold routinely interrupt power, damage infrastructure, and overwhelm cellular networks. When that happens, phones stop working, internet access disappears, and even local news becomes difficult to reach.” – denob

Winter Camping Dangers: What Actually Kills People in Cold Weather – “Here’s the lie that gets people killed: “Cold weather is dangerous, but I’m experienced.” That mindset is where most winter disasters start. The truth is ugly and winter camping dangers don’t usually pick off first-timers first. They nail confident intermediates. The folks who’ve slept outside in October, done a couple snowy weekends, and now think they’ve got winter “handled.”” – Bob Rodgers

What Chair are You in? – “Almost all Americans are in one of these three chairs… In Chair One, we have faith in ourselves In Chair Two, we do not know who or what to have faith in In Chair Three, we have faith in Jesus Christ Which chair are you in today? How can we come to trust in God more fully? By getting to know Him!” – Jim McCraigh

The Pandemic Revealed the Most Cowardly Society of All Time – “In terms of importance, the Covid-19 pandemic was the biggest event in human history since World War II. Since that time, nothing has caused as much fear across the entire planet as what began in 2020.” – Filipe Rafaeli

The Evidence is Clear: Masks Don’t Do Anything. – “We’re being hit with the “Super Flu” (allegedly), and that means everyone wants us to wear masks again. We went over this (a lot) in 2020. Then we went over it again in 2023. Masks don’t work, they never worked, and – prior to 2020 – the academic literature was very clear on this.” – Kit Knightly

WHO Pushes Global Plan to Normalize Trackable ‘Health’ Devices and AI Monitoring for Every Citizen on Earth – Frank Bergman

Where It All Began: The Hidden Origin of One Health and the Global System Now Ensnaring Canada – “A Quiet Theory That Became a Global Operating System. By 2016, One Health had expanded into: land use wildlife management food production agriculture climate energy Indigenous co-governance It quietly became the operating logic for the UN’s Agenda 2030.” – Connie Shields

DARK POLICIES: Under Governor Pritzker, Illinois Is the Newest US State To Implement Assisted Suicide – “Illinois is going down yet another dark path. The democratic government that President Donald J. Trump calls a ‘fat slob’ leads a government with a perpetual commitment to death – be it in abortion, be it by freeing cold-blooded killers in the streets of his violent state, be it in his new initiative with assisted suicide policies. Sure enough, as is the case anywhere, the policies are first presented as ‘only for special circumstances’, only to be quickly escalated, in the context that the safeguards are not even enforced.” – Paul Serran   – IS ILLINOIS THE NEW CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Techno-Fascism: Trump Signs Executive Order That Overrides State Regulations For AI, Federal Government And Tech Companies Can Do Whatever They Want With Impunity – The WinePress

Trump’s FCC Seeks to Strip Even More Local Control Over 5G Rollout – “Of the fifteen bills advanced by the committee, H.R. 2289 is considered the most concerning, according to Environmental Health Sciences (EHS), a nonpartisan, nonprofit news and science organization.EHS argues that the bill would force local governments to approve cell towers and wireless modifications or expansions with inadequate review, despite known health, environmental, and safety risks. ” – Derrick Broze

What really happens when income is guaranteed (VIDEO) – “Dr. David Bell explains the devastation he saw in communities living on guaranteed income and why the same model is quietly being imported into the West.. For years, the World Economic Forum and United Nations have advocated for a simple idea: The future will be automated, frictionless, and convenient — and if work dries up, don’t worry. We’ll just pay everyone a basic income. It’s a feel-good sales pitch, but the reality is far from happy. What happens to a society when survival is guaranteed but purpose disappears? What happens when the paycheck comes only if you behave?” – Collapse Life

Marcus Allen and Scott Henderson on the Apollo Moon Missions: Part 1 (VIDEO) – “Examining the evidence – with assistance from Robert Wagner. One of the truly great disappointments of my adult life was discovering, after I conducted my own investigative efforts, that the Apollo moon missions I so revered as a teenager and beyond, were — to put it bluntly — faked.” – New Zealand Doc

NEWS

A Genocide of the Willing – “Exposing the myth of democracy. This is shocking to those who have been able to live in a bubble, away from the realities faced every day by others. For the greater share, though, it is a mere confirmation of an already understood reality. But it is those who can be shocked by that truth that must be shocked, so they can understand the future as it unfolds, rather than as if standing in a river, unknowing the source of their saturation. The EU now faces, an exposure of its tyrannical policies thinly disguised as the will of the people. Despite the fact that none of the leaders in the EU were voted into office by the populations of those they rule over, they claim some vague connection with democracy. It’s a worldwide drift to totalitarianism that’s in the works here and many support it, as stupid as that sounds. ” – T.L. Davis

Reflections from the Heart of the Empire: Flexes of Futility – “Practically begging Venezuela to kill American pilots to provide a remotely plausible cassus belli, two Navy F/A-18 fighter jets flew into the Gulf of Venezuela on a “routine training mission.” That’s like saying Russian jets flying into Chesapeake Bay is a routine training mission. Unfortunately for Trump, Venezuela didn’t bite,” – Ohio Barbarian

For Rubio the Cuba Hawk, the Road to Havana Runs Through Venezuela – “President Trump’s secretary of state and national security adviser has long sought to cripple or topple Cuba’s government, which has close security and economic ties to Venezuela” – Michael Crowley and Edward Wong.

Bipartisan Congress Overwhelmingly Passes $901B Military Defense Bill, Money For Ukraine And Israel, Crackdown On Antisemitism, Missing Anti-CBDC Provision – “More nonsense as usual.” – The WinePress

Two US Soldiers & A Civilian Killed, Several More Wounded, In Central Syria Ambush – “Washington’s Syria intervention is the mess that keeps on giving…” – Tyler Durden

Collective Bargaining Or Soft Coup? The Real Stakes Of Federal Unions – “The surface framing was familiar, a story about “workers’ rights” and bipartisanship, but the deeper issue is more basic and more troubling. When the state’s own employees band together to exert organized pressure on the elected government, the usual picture of a free people bargaining with a private employer no longer fits. Something closer to an inversion of republican government begins to take shape.” – Amuse on X

Land Along Southern Border Is Transferred to Navy to Become Part of ‘National Defense Area’ – “The 760 acres of California land will be controlled by the military, allowing troops to make arrests.” – Jacob Burg

Pathetic Dem HOAX Exposed: Old Trump Photo ‘Redacted’ In Effort To Smear Him As Pedophile – “Women in image were 22-Year-old models who called him a ‘gentleman’” – Steve Watson

The Tenpenny Files (VIDEO ) with Gail Eisnitz – “The Killing Floor Truth the Meat Industry Has Spent Decades Burying. Most Americans have never seen the inside of a modern slaughterhouse. That is not an accident. It is the result of a system built on secrecy, speed, and silence. Gail explains how massive slaughter operations now process animals at speeds that defy logic. Conscious animals are routinely skinned or dismembered while fully aware of what is happening to them. Workers, many undocumented and desperate, describe the emotional destruction that follows them long after their shift ends. What Gail documents is not simply cruelty. It is industrialized violence.” – Dr. Sherri Tenpenny

Is it Russia that really wants another world war? – “The solution to avoid a disaster of global proportions would be for NATO to simply back down, because when Russia, with its destructive potential, is pushed to the point where it might need to use everything it has to survive, the entire world is in serious trouble (to put it mildly).” – Drago Bosnic

Ukraine War Comes To… The Caspian Sea – “Ukraine has extended the war to a far flung body of water and unexpected place. Ukraine’s military has newly revealed that its special forces conducted successful operations against Russian oil, military, logistics assets in the Caspian Sea. The Caspian Sea is some 700 miles from the front lines in Ukraine, and is the world’s largest inland body of water, which is bordered by Russia and Kazakhstan to the north and Iran to the South, among other small countries.” – Tyler Durden

ECONOMIC NEWS

Inflation Feels Like a Flood, but the President Says, Nothing to Worry about; it’s Just a Trickle – “Shoppers are strongly complaining about how much they struggling under inflation this Christmas season as they try to buy gifts. The Trump Administration, on the other hand, keeps insisting it is all a Democrat hoax, and conveniently, hasn’t gotten an actual inflation report out in months for us to see whether we have a flood of inflation or not. So, you can believe the work-deluged (due to DOGE firings), long-shutdown Bureau of Belabored Statistics with its much belated and beleaguered reports, or you can believe the cries of shoppers like yourself in more than one recent poll.” – David Haggith

‘Trading Sardines’ and Paper Silver – “There is an old trading story about sardines, and it’s surprisingly relevant to silver today. Sardines were in high demand, and the price of a can supposedly soared 10x at one point. A micro-bubble developed. It got so bad that people were mostly trading the tinned fish rather than eating it. One day, a hungry miner paid through the nose for one of these cans. He opened it and was surprised to find horribly rotten fish. He stormed over to the traders’ shop, and demanded to know what was going on. The trader told him, “You fool! Those are trading sardines, not eating sardines.” Today there is a dynamic in silver markets somewhat similar to the old sardine story. Paper silver contracts like those traded on the COMEX exchange outnumber physical silver by perhaps 200x. In other words, there are a lot more silver IOUs floating around than real bullion.” – Adam Sharp  – GOOD ANALOGY AND EXPLANATION ON THE SILVER MARKET!!!!

The Market Is “Very Fragile” (VIDEO) with Lance Roberts – “Despite the markets trading at all-time highs and likely to end the year up near +20%, they are “very fragile” warns portfolio manager Lance Roberts. Record margin debt, AI buildout concerns, record valuation levels, highly optimistic earnings expectations, and credit market stresses each and all could trigger a market correction in 2026.” – Adam Taggart | Thoughtful Money®

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

How To Sharpen Your Homesteading Tools In Minutes – “Stop tossing out your tools the moment they go dull! Sharpening them is simpler than you think! And here’s the scary part: dull tools don’t just slow you down, they’re also the ones most likely to injure you! A sharp blade is safer, requires less force to use, and helps you work more efficiently, especially in a homestead or emergency setting where your energy matters.” – Olivia Brooks

Your Home Might Become a Death Trap Without This – “As most people, you most probably think that bugging-in means food, water, medical supplies, and security. All of those matter, and every serious prepper keeps them high on the list. Yet there’s something far more basic. So basic that many households overlook it entirely and it silently decides who survives a crisis and who doesn’t. It’s air. Or, more precisely, the quality and movement of the air inside your home.” – Jack

Bartering: Get the Services You Need With Cashless Exchanges – “For me, there are many reasons I prefer to participate in cashless exchanges. First, I don’t have a lot of cash! So, that means I need to get creative sometimes about how to make things happen on the homestead. Second, cashless exchange is more in keeping with my values: I believe in community, buying local where I live, and nurturing relationships. When I emphasize cashless exchange in my local dealings, I can live by my values, which is more satisfying to me. ” – Colette

THE BIG PICTURE

The Stump Of Jesse Blooms – “David was not the first King of Israel. From what we are told of his son Solomon, he might not even have been the greatest King of Israel. Yet he was without a doubt “the” King of Israel. It is his name that became the name of a royal family. The “stump of Jesse” became the House of David. From the stump of Jesse came a branch that blossomed with righteousness in spite of David’s sin and corruption. That branch would graft on new branches—Peter, Paul, James, and all the Apostles—to spread the seeds of that righteousness across the earth.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Pennywise Isn’t Fiction: Stephen King’s IT Proves What the Bible Says About Fallen Angels and Nephilim – “Why your childhood terror of painted faces and red noses wasn’t irrational fear—it was genetic memory recognizing the predators who once ruled us as gods.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

You Can’t Take It With You: Why Every Class -Rich, Poor, Employed, Retired – Is Now on the Same Chopping Block – “There is a phrase we all grew up hearing: “You can’t take it with you.” Until recently, it sounded like a cliché, a gentle reminder not to obsess over money or possessions. But today, that phrase has become a warning. Because the world we’re moving into, slowly for some, violently for others, is being engineered in a way that your wealth, your job, your status, your credentials, your retirement savings, your social circles, and even your reputation will not protect you. It is the one sentence I wish every Canadian, American, and “comfortably silent” citizen of the Western world would finally understand, because : “You can’t take it with you.”” – Connie Shields

Let’s talk about…the looming flu “crisis” – “The flu of concern is H3N2 “Subclade K”, apparently. It’s “unlike any strain of flu I’ve ever seen”, according to a “virus-hunter” in the Daily Mail. They don’t actually explain precisely HOW it’s “unlike any other flu”, but they do point out something that will doubtless sound very familiar: ‘Unfortunately, you can’t distinguish H3N2 from other flu strains based on symptoms alone—they all look and feel very similar. Another delightfully vintage line doing the rounds is that “vaccines will save lives”, but also they might not. It’s a contradiction constructed as a byproduct of the diverse objectives of propaganda.” – Off Guardian

Geoengineering Watch Global Alert News, December 6, 2025 (VIDEO) – – ““Millions facing sub-freezing temperatures as Arctic blast grips U.S” (CBS). “Temperatures hit record lows across the U.S” (CBS). “Record Cold Remains For Millions” (The Weather Channel). These are exactly the kind of headlines the controllers and the climate engineers want, welcome to engineered winter weather with chemical ice nucleation cloud seeding at the core.” – Dane Wigington

You’re Not Supposed to Ask This Question… But I Am – “There are certain questions you’re just not supposed to ask anymore. If you ask them, people roll their eyes, call you crazy, call you a conspiracy theorist, or tell you to “trust the experts,” who—funny enough—usually profit from whatever those experts recommend. But here’s the question I ask in the video: 👉 Do you think the people in power — the government, the medical system, Big Pharma, globalist think tanks, environmental elites — are actively trying to lower the population? Not wipe everyone out overnight. Not some dramatic Hollywood “end of the world tomorrow” scenario. But slowly… quietly… over decades. Because if you look around, it sure feels like they’re doing a lot of things that make us sicker, weaker, more dependent, more controlled — and less likely to have kids.” – M.D. Creekmore

James Angleton: JFK Assassination Architect? – “Newly-declassified files show President John F Kennedy’s alleged assassin Lee Harvey Oswald was monitored for years by James Angleton, the CIA’s infamous veteran counterintelligence chief, right up until the President’s death.” – Kit Klarenberg

“The Donald J Trump Institute of Peace” – “Here’s what making government more efficient looks like – in golden letters. President Trump has renamed the supposedly closed-by-DOGE (does anyone remember DOGE?) Institute of Peace in honor of himself. Because he – Trump – is the “greatest dealmaker in our nation’s history” – because he has “brought peace to eight international conflicts.” Trump previously called the Institute of Peace a “bloated, useless entity.” This characterization is interesting because the same could accurately be said about Trump.” – Eric Peters

Petty, Spiteful, Vindictive – “The Trump Administration Strikes Again. Consider the news about free admission to national parks. It used to be that MLK Jr Day and Juneteenth were free admission days. No longer. Now it’s Flag Day, which is also Trump’s birthday, as a free admission day beginning in 2026.” – Bill Astore

Democrats Have Destroyed Equality Under Law – “I did not think it would be possible for New York Attorney General, Leticia James, and former FBI Director, James Comey, to be prosecuted. And I was correct that Democrats would protect their agents who tried to destroy President Trump. Republicans are too weak to fight their enemies. Indeed Republicans think their enemies are over there in foreign lands–Russians, Iranians, Chinese, Venezuelans. A Democrat judge dismissed the grand jury charges against James and Comey on the grounds that the US attorney prosecuting the case was illegally appointed. In other words, even if we assume the judge’s assertion of illegal appointment is correct, the appointment has nothing to do with the case against James and Comey.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Climate Groups Falter, Bill Gates Recalibrates, But Al Gore Soldiers On – “It’s been an interesting few weeks on the climate hysteria front. Organizations associated with climate alarmism have recently found themselves engulfed in turmoil. Let’s start with probably the best-known environmental organization in the world, the Sierra Club. According to a recent New York Times report, the club thrived when it seemed laser-focused on the environment. But then, during Donald Trump’s first term, “its leaders sought to expand far beyond environmentalism, embracing other progressive causes. Those included racial justice, labor rights, gay rights, immigrant rights and more.” As a result of the effort to morph into a catch-all for a myriad of social justice causes, the Times noted that by 2022 the Sierra Club “had exhausted its finances and splintered its coalition.”” – Gary Abernathy  – PEOPLE ORIGINALLY JOINED THE SIERRA CLUB FOR ENVIRONMENTAL REASONS, . NOW BECOMING WOKE HAS CHANGED THEIR ORIGINAL MISSION!!!

New California Laws That Will Have You Scratching Your Head – “A flurry of new regulations for 2026 across the country range from serious to silly.”- Kelli Ballar

Europe Is Dying – “It has squandered its post-WWII economic and military assistance from the United States by investing in centralized, socialist bureaucracies and expansive welfare States. By chasing the “climate change” con as a means for European governments to justify total control over the drivers of economic growth, European nations have forsaken cheap energy exploration, private entrepreneurship, and technological innovation. By depending upon the United States to defend its territorial interests, European nations have destroyed their military capabilities. In an effort to “juice” their economies with cheap labor and artificial demographic growth, European nations have opened their borders to tens of millions of foreign immigrants. The natural result is that foreign cultures have steadily eroded and replaced millennia-old European cultures without much resistance.” – J.B. Shurk

Russia Is Taking The Finnish Front Of The New Cold War Very Seriously – “Medvedev’s article shows that Russia is prepared to tackle all Finnish-emanating threats from NATO. Former Russian President and incumbent Deputy Secretary of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev published a scathing article at TASS in early September about “The New Finnish Doctrine: Stupidity, Lies, Ingratitude” in which he excoriated Finland for its former alliance with the Nazis and warned about new threats from it.” – Andrew Korybko

ECONOMIC NEWS

Is the End of QT a Green Light for an Asset Rally? – “On Monday, December 1, the Federal Reserve terminated Quantitative Tightening (QT). The job wasn’t even halfway done. From our experience, half measures avail nothing. In this instance, they guarantee consumer prices will never, ever, return to pre-covid levels. Stocks, gold, and, until recently, bitcoin, are all at or near record highs. What does the end of QT mean for these assets? To answer this question, let’s first take a gander back to the great money flood of 2020-22. If you recall, the central planners, under the pretense of the faux pandemic, locked down the economy. They said if we all hunkered down for two weeks, we could bend the curve and stop the spread. This turned out to be a crock of hogwash. What’s more, the dreaded coronavirus was no worse than the common flu. But the control freaks got such a thrill out of trampling people’s basic rights and freedoms, they extended the lockdown and forced people to wear masks and get repeated clot shots. Much of the populace was eager to oblige.” – MN Gordon

ADP Numbers: Private Sector Dumps Over 30K Jobs – Peter Schiff  – ALSOMSEE PETER NAYLAND KUST’S ARTICLE ON THURSDAY!!!

The Triumph of the UniParty: Debt, Decay, and Imminent Fiscal Breakdown – “Today’s number is 41X, representing the change in the public debt since early 1981, when Ronald Reagan’s first fiscal challenge, ironically, was the unavoidable need to raise the ceiling on the public debt. Self-evidently, you cannot grow the numerator of the debt-to-income ratio four times faster than the denominator for decades on end and expect an eventual outcome that is anything short of catastrophic.” – David Stockman

Consumer spending points to strong GDP, but is momentum in the U.S. economy fading? – “The holiday shopping season is key to a strong 2025 finish” – Jeffry Bartash

Fresh Breakout: Gold, Silver & Miners Just Crushed the S&P 500 (VIDEO) with Michael Oliver – “Michael Oliver returns with one of his strongest momentum warnings yet. Gold, silver, and the miners have just broken out against the S&P 500, signalling a major shift in global markets. He explains why the U.S. stock market is topping, why the Fed’s coming rate cuts signal panic, and why silver could lead the entire move.” – Soar Financially

Yes, Gold, Silver, Copper, But Look At This Metal… – King World News

Chinese Traders Key to Next Gold Surge – “Traders on the Shanghai Futures Exchange have played a key role in driving gold’s bull market over the past two years, and they may soon help push gold over $5,000.” – Jesse Colombo

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

The Old-School Winter Staple That Beats Meat… Saves Money… And Never Lets You Down – “When winter settles in and the days get short and sharp, you start looking for foods that don’t just fill you up, but warm you all the way down. That’s exactly why heirloom soup beans shine this time of year. They’re rich, steady, nourishing, and honest. They store well, cook beautifully, stretch a budget, and deliver that deep, savory comfort that feels like wrapping up in an old wool blanket on a cold night.” – Bill Heid

The Uses of Different Sizes of Solar Panels for Prepping – Survival Sensei

RABBITS: THE OVERLOOKED POWERHOUSE OF THE MODERN HOMESTEAD – “In the last two generations, our society has made the thought of consuming the flesh of a cute, cuddly, fuzzy bunny nearly abhorrent. When we were first introduced to the idea of raising rabbits for meat, I am sure our reaction was the same as many who have never considered the practice before. It is a stretch for most average, modern North Americans to wrap their minds around the fact that these animals can play an important role in our diet and the management of our properties.” – Jeremy Chambers – NOT SURE I WOULD RAISE RABBITS FOR FOOD, AND SOME WOULD OBJECT DUE TO BIBLICAL REASONS AS WELL. HOWEVER THEY DO HAVE MANY USES!!!!

How to Care for Chickens in the Winter – Bethany Hayes

VERSE FOR THE DAY

Deuteronomy 14:7    Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; as the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are unclean unto you.

IMAGES FOR THE DAY 

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

Hey babe, what’s in your eyes?
I saw them flashing like airplane lights
You fill my cup, babe, that’s for sure
I must come back for a little more

You got my heart you got my soul
You got the silver you got the gold
You got the diamonds from the mine
Well that’s all right, it’ll buy some time

Tell me, honey, what will I do
When I’m hungry and thirsty too
Feeling foolish (and that’s for sure)
Just waiting here at your kitchen door?

Hey baby, what’s in your eyes?
Is that the diamonds from the mine?
What’s that laughing in your smile?
I don’t care, no, I don’t care

Oh babe, you got my soul
You got the silver you got the gold
If that’s your love, just leave me blind
I don’t care, no, that’s no big surprise

( You Got The Silver by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards )

While travelers who lack a Real ID or passport can still fly, they will be required to use the agency’s Confirm.ID system for identity verification, the cost of which will be covered by the fee.” – The National Post

New Bill Would Protect Against Digital ID (VIDEO) – “Digital IDs, currencies, and mass online censorship are coming soon unless stopped. Sen. Nicola of Missouri is taking the bull by the horns with new legislation. He joined us to break it down .” – Alex Newman

The Church Is Deceived and Falling Away (VIDEO) Ashley Hays

Auto Manufacturers Are Spamming Drivers With Pop-Up Ads That They Can’t Get Rid Of – “Last week, Stellantis, the Franco-Italian-American auto manufacturer – Dodge, Ram, Jeep, Chrysler, Fiat, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, etc. – has come under fire for its newer model vehicles spamming drivers with pop-up ads on their dashboard screens. The insatiable greed of these companies doesn’t stop. It’s never enough, like a bunch of leeches desperate for more blood. Stellantis is not the only ones, unfortunately.” – The WinePress

Digital ID: A Grave Warning From A Chinese Exile (VIDEO) – Actual Coverage  – MAKE SURE YOU READ SOME OF THE COMMENTS ON THIS ONE!!!

Why Healthcare Is in a Death Spiral: Follow the Money – “If each of these is not a part of any ‘reform,’ than all that is being done is pouring money into a monopolizing cartel, just in a slightly different way.” – Charles Hugh Smith  – GOOD READ FROM CHARLES!!!!

Hurricane Season Ends Uneventfully and the Climate Alarmist Media Is Awfully Quiet About It. – William Upton

The Four Pillars: The Architecture of Canada’s not so Silent Takeover – “How the Vatican, the City of London, the Crown, Washington and your own municipality, were woven into a global operating system now being delivered by Mark Carney.” – Connie Shields

The Die Is Cast in Canada for the Future of the Alberta Independence Movement – “The Independence Movement and the Alberta Premier Chart Their Separate Courses. And so the premier was taken aback when the crowd roundly booed — not her per se, but her comments. They clearly do not like the deal. They see it as selling out to Ottawa. She is asking an angry army that she has led onto the field to now sheath their swords and trust the enemy.” – Anthony James Hall

Now, if I was – “If I was a liberal MP I’d probably be very upset at the moment.” – Sylvia Shawcross

John Beaudoin Sr. Is An Unsung Whistleblower Who Has Been Exposing Precisely How Public Health Systems Have Been Concealing Deaths From Covid Shots, Including In Children – Celia Farber

Tenpenny Monday Minute – “Lies, and more lies, about flu shots in the elderly. It’s not okay for journals to omit data, but that is exactly what the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) just did. NEJM never published the data showing that Pfizer’s mRNA flu shot failed in the over-65 age group. The over-65 age group is the group that supposedly benefits the most from these vaccines. You could even say that this age group is the entire reason these vaccines exist. Where’s the accountability?” – Dr. Sherri Tenpenny

NEWS

The Craziest Thing In The World Is That We Could End Poverty, But We Don’t – “It’s the craziest thing in the world that we already have the technological ability to provide a decent standard of living for everyone on earth, but it doesn’t happen because it’s not profitable. We attained the greatest scientific achievement of all time and then did nothing with it. Our society is completely uninterested in it because capitalism is completely uninterested in it. It’s just so insane how this doesn’t sit front and center in our attention all the time.” – Caitlin Johnstone

DOGE is Dead and Buried Inside of Big Beautiful Bill’s Belly – “Stand back! Bill just blew a big one and is feeling a little unsettled!” – David Haggith

The lie our government wants you to swallow about ‘failed vetting’ of Islamic refugees like the one who shot two National Guardsmen in D.C. last week – “The left-right/Democrat-Republican blame game that thrives in Washington is a false paradigm that, unfortunately, most Americans fall for every day of the week.” – Leo Hohmann

Revoke Parole, Review Every Visa: Rubio’s Roadmap After the DC National Guard Execution – “The execution style ambush in downtown Washington, was not an isolated bolt from the blue. It was the foreseeable consequence of a moral and strategic decision by the Biden administration to fly tens of thousands of Afghans into the US with little more than a promise that they had once been on our side. Among them, according to veterans and reporting in the days since the attack, were not only interpreters and bureaucrats but members of the CIA’s notorious “Zero Units,” death squads like the 03 Kandahar Strike Force that human rights groups have tied to summary executions, enforced disappearances, and night raid massacres. You cannot train men for years to hunt, interrogate, and kill in the dark, then drop them into an alien culture and assume they will quietly run food trucks and drive for UberEats or DoorDash. You have taught them one thing, violence, and then you have left them unsupervised.” – Amuse on X

Inter-racial Couples on TV Commercials – “Years ago, I started to notice that inter-racial couples now seemed to be obligatory for almost all companies. This, I thought to myself, is all COORDINATED – a Spider Sense that still scares me.” – Bill Rice Jr.

The Epstein-Israel link nobody wants you to take seriously – “While trafficking young girls, he was also part of an effort to export military-grade systems to governments around the world” – Rachel Marsden

Even a Rapper Known For Gross, Explicit Songs Left a Trump Party Because of Drugs, Sex and Underage Girls – “The 2 Live Crew were pretty gross. Nothing was too disgusting for these characters. Except a Donald Trump party. In 2016, Luther “Uncle Luke” Campbell, a founding member of 2 Live Crew, described a 1990s party he attended at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago. Invited by the Don, Campbell arrived at the resort with Mike Tyson and Eddie Murphy.” – Anthony Colpo

Newsmax Legal Analyst Andrew Napolitano Destroys Pete Hegseth in Stunning Commentary: ‘Should Be Prosecuted for a War Crime!’ – Alex Griffing

Apocalypse Soon? – ” While the Air Force often speaks of “investing” in new nukes, this time the CSAF opted for “recapitalization,” a remarkably bloodless term for the creation of a whole new generation of genocidal thermonuclear weapons and their delivery systems. (Take a moment to think about that word, “creation,” applied to weapons of mass destruction. Raised Catholic, I learned that God created the universe out of nothing. By comparison, nuclear creators aren’t gods, they’re devils, for their “creation” may end with the destruction of everything. At this moment, Donald Trump’s America has more than 5,000 nuclear warheads and bombs of various sorts, while Vladimir Putin’s Russia has roughly 5,500 of the same. Together, they represent overkill of an enormity that should be considered essentially unfathomable. So, here we are in a world in which the Pentagon plans to spend another $1.7 trillion(and no, that is not a typo!) “recapitalizing” its nuclear triad, and so in a world that is guaranteed to remain haunted forever by a possible future doomsday, the specter of nuclear mushroom clouds, and a true “end-times” catastrophe.” – Bill Astore

Putin Says ‘Ready For War’ Against Europe If Attacks On Russian Tankers, Energy Continue – “US envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law and unofficial diplomat Jared Kushner have been at the Kremlin on Tuesday for high-level talks with President Vladimir Putin. President Putin’s public words in the context of the meeting wherein the US side is formally pitching the plan have presented an opportunity for him to lash out at Europe. If Europe starts a war with Russia, soon there will be “no one left to negotiate with” – he warned after several EU and NATO officials have lately issued hawkish words and threats.” – Tyler Durden

NATO’s Flirtation With Pre-Emptive Cyber Strikes Against Russia Is Incredibly Dangerous – “The British might be egging this on to provoke a crisis for ruining the renascent Russian-US “New Détente”, but even if this fails, Continental Europe would still be weakened if the US stands down when Russian retaliates and this could advance their interests too.” – Andrew Korybko

ECONOMIC NEWS

Mortgage Rates, 10-Year & 30-Year Treasury Yields Jump, Wiping out in One Day the Entire Drop of Last Week – “The bond market went back to work on Monday.” – Wolf Richter

With the penny going away, what should you do with the ones in your coin jar? – “Many Americans regard both nickels and pennies as more nuisance than currency. The typical household is sitting on $60 to $90 in neglected coins, enough to fill one or two pint-size beer mugs, according to the Federal Reserve. Americans throw away millions of dollars in coins every year, literally treating them like trash. To state the obvious, coins are worth money. Coinstar converts $3 billion in coins into spendable cash every year, one coin jar at a time. The average jar yields $58 in buying power. ” – Daniel de Visé and Mike Snider

UBS Increases 2026 Silver Supply Deficit – Is Silver About To Be ‘Volkswagened’? – “UBS has increased its estimate of the 2026 silver supply deficit to 293 million (M) oz. and says it “favors being long”. When a piranha favors something, that has near-term meaning.” – David Jensen

Extreme Carnage! Crypto Investors Lose $800,000,000,000 In Just 1 Month As Forced Liquidations Reset The Market -Michael Snyder

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

The Secret U.S. Military Plan for Handling Civil Unrest – “Most folks assume the U.S. military operates only overseas. In fact, detailed plans exist for responding to serious crises and unrest within the country. But the truth is these plans are far from theoretical. They are actively maintained, updated, and regularly practiced, ready to be put into action at a moment’s notice.” – Matt Wright

15 Tips for Success When Cooking Over an Open Fire – “There is something primal about cooking on an open fire. The heat, the smell of the smoke, and the roaring and crackling create an experience that speaks to the most basic parts of us. You’re connecting to something your ancestors did thousands of years ago. Whether you’re camping, living off-grid, or having a family cookout, getting everything right on an open fire is not as simple as it seems.” – Craig Taylor

Practical Preparedness Suggestions – Part 1 – “This article is a compilation of practical preparedness tips, insights, and lessons learned. It starts with what I call inner resources, or mindset and moves toward the hard, practical items.” – R.J.

European Survival Fats: The Ancient Calories That Kept Armies, Farmers, and Refugees Alive – “The difference between starving slowly and surviving winter wasn’t protein, it was fat. Every old European culture knew this long before electricity, supermarkets, or the idea that “lean meat” was somehow noble. Across the continent, from Viking traders to French shepherds, from Scottish crofters to Polish refugees fleeing winter fronts, survival hinged on a brutally simple truth: without fat, the human body burns out fast.” – Rhonda Owen

The Truth About SNIPERS and How to Survive Them – “Because of the growing fear of mass shootings and terrorist attacks all over the world, advice about how to survive mass shootings or sniper attacks are everywhere, and there are useful but there is a bit of confusion there. Sniper attacks in collapse and mass shootings today in peaceful times have a lot of common things, but some facts are different.” – Selco Begovic

VERSE FOR THE DAY

Daniel 6:8    Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
