THE BIG PICTURE

USA – your babies are dying – “Simple facts and important questions. I do not like hyperbolic headlines – it is not my style. I much prefer to just state the facts and let people have their own emotional response it. However, this topic deserves attention and has been ignored for too long. Here are the facts. The data is from CDC” – Dr Clare Craig

Oh, Please Mr. White Coat! – “Some of the worst things are the things we’ve become so used to that we’ve forgotten they’re among the worst things. The TSA comes to mind. Here’s another: Having to appeal to a White Coat to get medicine when you’re sick. That is to say, prescription medicine – which means most of the medicine that actually works, such as pain killers and inflammatory suppressors such as Prednisone. We are told we must get that prescription before we’re allowed to get the meds we need but which it requires a White Coat’s formal approval to confirm that we need. Which of course entails paying a White Coat, in addition to the supplication. Think about that for a minute. We are still (for now) allowed to fix our own cars; we do not have to obtain a prescription to be allowed to buy motor oil. But when we need fixing . . . .” – Eric Peters

Photo Illusion – “An interesting course of events is about to take place. We are all about to enter a time machine and return to the era before photography was invented. Humans were around living a rather civilized life for many hundreds of years, if not thousands, before this startling advancement in scientific technology. My, oh my, how did we survive? Rather well, actually. And soon, if not already, we will have to survive again without photography being a reliable presentation of objective reality—assuming it ever was. With the advent of AI art and AI movies, it is nearly impossible for the casual viewer to discern the accuracy of a photo or movie in its attempted depiction of reality. When invented, photography proved useful for documenting the present (at least that was its intention), allowing people in the future to remember the past. It will now lose that function.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

The creepy agenda behind Australia’s proposed “bedroom tax” – “An Australian think-tank has proposed a radical solution to the supposed “housing crisis” – tax people for unused bedrooms. If the state were to impose a tax on unoccupied bedrooms, whilst abolishing stamp duty, they will incentivise those people to sell their family homes and downsize, thus freeing up homes for young families looking to buy. But is that really how it would work? Of course not. What will happen is that newly incentivized sellers will bump up against hedge funds and private equity firms who are willing to pay 10-20% over market price. It’s no different in other countries around the world. Canada is following the US pattern, whilst private equity already own an estimated 37% of single family homes in Germany. In the UK, 2024 saw private equity firms invest £1.5billion in single family homes, with Blackstone buying over 4000 of them alone. According” – Kit Knightly

18 MILLION COVID-JABBED Japanese folks shown to have SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER DEATH RATES during first year after injection with mRNA clot shots – S.D. Wells

AI is predicting the next pandemic – “Artificial intelligence isn’t just writing code, designing images, or filtering your feed. It’s now being used to model the next global health crisis. In this week’s Collapse Life podcast, Jessica Rose — scientist, analyst, and outspoken critic of medical authoritarianism — explores what it means when predictive analytics start calling the shots in public health.” – Collapse Life  – WATCH WHEN YOU HAVE TIME, A LITTLE OVER AN HOUR LONG!

The New York Times Publishes False Energy and Climate Information and Refuses to Correct Its Errors – “The NYT must always remember that the purpose of corrections is to inform the reader of what is actually true, rather than to protect its writers from embarrassment or protect preferred narratives that cannot withstand scrutiny. ” – Howard Gruenspecht

 

 

NEWS

No, Sir, Thank You – “The patriot movement did not burst upon the scene wholly-funded and mobilized like so many fake protest movements on the left, BLM and Antifa being in that number. Instead, it grew out of frustration and injustice harbored over generations and brought on by an overactive bureaucracy that stopped working for the people sometime in the 1960s” – T.L. Davis

Barring the Anomaly of Trump, All Elections Are Stolen. – “Canada, Britain, France, Germany, British Columbia, town council, dog catcher, bylaw officer, county attorney.” – Elizabeth Nickson

What Are the Real Reasons Behind Washington’s Latest Show of Force Against Venezuela? – “The US Empire’s drums of war are once again beating loud and hard in Latin America. ” – Nick Corbishley

After Bolton raid, the Washington Post clutches its pearls – “Spare us the shock. They didn’t bat an eyelash when Trump was getting raided at Mar-a-Lago” – Jack Hellner

The Trump crime-family now outdoes even the Biden crime-family. – Eric Zuesse

‘Stay out of our city’: Chicago officials slam Trump’s threat to target city in next crime crackdown – “President Donald Trump on Friday said Chicago will likely be the next target of his efforts to crack down on crime, homelessness and illegal immigration. Trump indicated that the Midwestern city could receive similar treatment to what he’s done in Washington, D.C., where he’s deployed 2,000 troops on the streets.” – Christine Fernando, John O’Connor and Michelle L. Price

Epstein didn’t kill himself – ex-partner – “The late financier’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell has told US investigators that she doesn’t believe in the official version of his death” – RT

The Disastrous Cracker Barrel Rebrand Finally Gets an Explanation and It Will Surprise No One – “this wasn’t just a really bad idea from a restaurant looking to update itself. This was a years-long campaign to pressure and pull Cracker Barrel into ridding itself of its Southern personality and adopt a more neutral personality that pleased hard-leftists, many of whom don’t frequent those restaurants anyway. I can make the safe assumption that this pivot in the name of pleasing the most unpleasable people in the world is going to drive away whatever loyal base it had left. People who liked the restaurant for its Southern charm and likely felt it was relatable will probably no longer find it speaks to them. ” – Brandon Morse

Illegal Immigrants Are Still Getting Driver’s Licenses – “Another sanctuary state policy with deadly consequences.” – Kelli Ballard

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker Signs Bill Allowing Immigrants to Become Driving Instructors – “Following Illinois’s decision to allow undocumented immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses last year, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker signed House Bill 3125 into law, expanding privileges. HB 3125 will allow undocumented immigrants to become driving instructors.” – Margaret Flavin

DOJ Releases Maxwell Proffer Transcript: CASE CLOSED? – “The Department of Justice yesterday released the transcript and audio recordings of Ghislaine Maxwell’s proffer — in reality, an image-laundering operation to try to get herself a pardon for her sex-trafficking crimes — given in a federal prison in Tallahassee, where she was serving time for sex trafficking. There is no client list. “There is no list. We’ll start with that. This marks the first time in history, perhaps, that a perp is convicted of sex trafficking with no one to whom the sex slaves were trafficked. How curious!  Jeffrey Epstein didn’t keep any child sex tapes even though he had his entire New York property, including bedrooms, wired with video cameras. Bill Clinton never got “massages,” despite flying on Epstein’s pedo-plane dozens of times.” – Ben Bartee

Zionism Is What It Does – “Zionism means exactly what we see before us today. Genocide. Ethnic cleansing. Apartheid. Nonstop violence and abuse. That’s what Zionism means. And anti-Zionism means opposing these things.” – Caitlin Johnstone

The Mysterious Release of Israeli Official Arrested in Las Vegas Pedo Sting: The Plot Thickens – “Further evidence the Trump admin is pro-pedo, and that the ‘anti-semite’ psy-op is working as intended. Alexandrovich stands out from his seven fellow arrestees in that he is an Israeli national who heads that country’s cyber-security directorate. So it goes without saying Alexandrovich ain’t no janitor. He’s a high-ranking bureaucrat in the Israeli system who reports directly to Bibi the Butcher. Turns out, in some people’s terribly deficient minds, you’re not supposed to criticize people belonging to a certain group – even when they are molesting children. Excuse my English, but fuck that.” – Anthony Colpo

Candace Owens – Israel and the Trump Administration Continue to Betray America! – “Candace Sons recently exposed how Israel continues to betray America. this time in relation to the debacle that just happened in Las Vegas where you had an individual that was arrested for trying to solicitate sex from a minor just released. Why? Because he happened to be from the government of our greatest ally in the Middle East, Israel, because he was a high-ranking cyber official. He was sent back essentially no questions asked. Let’s get her take on this and just wait until you hear what our DOJ was busy doing while this happened.” – Liberty Vault

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Don’t Forget the Sun: Post-SHTF Solar Prep – “When people talk about “the big one” — grid down, collapse, SHTF, whatever flavor you want to call it — they usually focus on the obvious threats: food, water, security, medical supplies. And rightly so. But there’s a quiet killer that gets overlooked in almost every prepper conversation: the sun.” – Fergus Mason

Antiseptics In Survival, Pt. 1 – Joseph Alton, M.D.

How to Harvest and Store Seeds From Your Summer Flowers – “Annette Hird, Horticultural Writer and Expert Gardener at Easy Urban Gardens, says that the main reason you want to harvest and store seeds from your summer flowers is so that you can grow them again next season. “Most summer flowers are annuals, which means they complete their life cycle in the same year,” she says. “This means they have to be grown again from seed the following year. By saving your seeds, you’ll have a ready supply to sow and won’t have to purchase new ones.” ” – Shelby Deering  – ALTHOUGH THIS IS ABOUT FLOWERS, THE SAME APPLIES TO VEGETABLES!!!

How to Build a Finnish Gap Fire (Rakovalkea) Step by Step – “Knowing how to build a fire is a critical skill, but knowing how to build one right, and to build the right one for the situation at hand, separates the beginners from the seasoned pros, and it might separate the survivors from the casualties.” – Tom Marlowe

THE BIG PICTURE

Whitney Webb EXPOSES Clinton, Trump, Epstein & More! (VIDEO) – Sabby Sabs  – AS USUAL, A GOOD INFORMATIVE LISTEN FROM WHITNEY!!!!

Shall We Forget the Epstein Business? – “It appears that the Epstein Business is slipping past the event horizon of the memory hole. It is not just the Epstein Business, either. It is the memory-holing of the Epstein Business by the people who are likely either participants in whatever sordidness was going on or aiding and abetting the shoving-underthe-rug of the sordidness – for reasons all too easy and awful to guess. Instead, the diversion we are presented with is a pretend-play investigation of Adam “shifty” Schiff and the ex-president whose name is Barry, not “Barack.” The latter becoming Blackish when it was perceived (correctly) as being politically advantageous to be Blackish. Just not too much (per Joe Biden). Nothing, it goes without saying, is going to happen to any of them – beyond sturm-und-drang Tweets that people who smoke Hopium believe means something is going to happen.” – Eric Peters

It is what it is – “Canadians, for the most part, have chosen socialism. I’m not sure that the majority understand what that means and will mean but it is what it is.” – Sylvia Shawcross

RESISTANCE 👉BOYCOTT + PROTEST👈 a personal passion, and a lifelong commitment – “All my adult life (almost 60 years now) I have boycotted pharmaceuticals, chemicals in food, animal cruelty and top-down governance wherever they rear their ugly heads. I have simultaneously protested on the front lines and, for the recent decade, via the medium of writing.” – Frances Leader

Carbon Butter – You Will Eat Synthetic Food – ““You will eat bugs,” as the infamous Klaus Schwab line goes, was merely the beginning of what the globalists intent on ushering in the Great Reset have planned for the masses. Food production is bad for the environment, therefore, the people must resort to lab-created synthetic products. All of this may sound like it is coming from a dystopian novel but the plans have been enacted. The latest synthetic product is carbon butter—a butter-like substance made using carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and oxygen to synthesize fat molecules without animals, oils, or plants. Savor, the startup company in Batavia, Illinois that is creating this product is backed by none other than Bill Gates.” – Martin Armstrong

New Bill Gates-Funded Chimeric Polio Vaccine for Children Sheds 100% in Recipients, Spread Documented: ‘The Lancet’ Journal – “Frankenstein pathogen cobbled from multiple viruses gained genetic stability, meaning scientists rewired its genome with an unnatural trait no wild poliovirus has.” – Jon Fleetwood

World Council for Health Sounds Alarm: Covid-Vaxxed Face ‘Ticking Time Bomb’ of Mass Deaths – Frank Bergman

The death cult continues hunting pregnant women and newborns. Moderna’s CMV vaccine will be approved soon – “The strategy of eugenics and population control by “public health”, aka, poisoning by “vaccines” is not new, and mothers and children have always been its target. The “death care” drive to poison babies before they are born or on the first day of their life at the latest continues unabated, and yes, it is a critical agenda item that spans every administration, regardless of political party in charge.” – Sasha Latypova

New Workplace Epidemic Identified (Because Hating Your Job Needed a Fancy HR Term) – “It’s called “quiet cracking” and it’s as woke as it sounds” – Jenna McCarthy.

Malone Raised Victimhood To The $10B Level – “Malone Tries To Convince He Is Anti-Vaccine After Receiving $10B At DTRA And DoD” – George Webb

Muzzled Docs Have Dead Patients. If Your Doctor Cannot Ask Questions, They Cannot Treat You Safely. – “When your doctor cannot ask whether something is wrong, or wrong for you, or wrong with the science, your doctor becomes a government functionary which may be harmful to your health.” – Rima E Laibow MD

 

 

 

 

NEWS

An Offer He Can’t Refuse – “Volodymyr Zelenskyy is dropping in at the White House today so that Mr. Trump can read him the riot act. It’s that simple. Somewhere to or from Alaska, Mr. Trump concluded that a ceasefire would not work, for the excellent reason that seven previous ceasefires in Ukraine failed, and only reinforced distrust and disappointment between the warring parties. Instead, the goal is a peace settlement, an end to the war. The USA and Russia cannot make peace in Ukraine because the war is between Ukraine and Russia. The USA can only mediate and propose terms.” – James Howard Kunstler

Russia Did NOT Invade Ukraine – “A totally transparent blatant lie has been turned into a truth throughout the Western world. The lie is that Russia invaded Ukraine. I will provide the factual history which is easy to verify. When Washington overthrew the Ukrainian government in 2014 and installed a puppet, Washington relied on the Banderites to push the government into hostility with the Russian settled areas of Ukraine, areas such as Crimea and Donbas, that originally were part of Russia.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Bumbling Towards a Nobel Prize? – “Trump sees only fragments (with no coherent overview), of what the US has done to foster the Russia/China alliance—making it almost unassailable. He also doesn’t understand that BRICS is a reaction to political instability caused by the US—and Trump. Trump doesn’t understand that BRICS is not about a currency to rival the dollar. Nor a military alliance. BRICS is about doing business—with trusted levels of predicability. Understanding who made-up the Russian delegation, next to the US team, is but a joke. The Russians are seasoned diplomats, playing the long game, while the US teams are Zionist, neocon realtors.” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

Today’s Outcome In DC Could Leave The US Much Stronger, And Europe Far Weaker – “Following what was expected to be a Friday of high geopolitical drama for markets, but wasn’t, today may prove that event instead. So, on security guarantees, Europe will say, “The US”; the US will say, “Europe’; and the US will win. Just as Trump told Zelenskyy “You don’t have the cards,” the UK and Europe don’t either. For those expecting the US and Europe to do more economically, i.e., secondary sanctions on buyers of Russian oil and/or action vs. Russian oil at sea, neither is prepared for the pain and geopolitical / geoeconomic escalation it would involve: if they were, such sanctions would have been placed on China already, as one example. Obviously, they haven’t, and Trump just made clear they likely won’t be – Europe didn’t even need to say it.” – Michael Every   – GOOD GEOPOLITICAL/ECONOMICAL ANALYSIS FROM MICHAEL!!!

Zelensky Drags Traveling Circus to Town for One Last Encore – “First, let us mention the most obvious thing, which is that Russia’s primary confirmed victory in the talks—as opposed to the various speculative parameters now floating about—was aligning the US with Putin’s demand of “agreement before ceasefire”, rather than Zelensky and Europe’s rival demand of “ceasefire before agreement”.” – Simplicius

Zelensky, Not Trump or Putin, is the Threat to Peace – “For the brutal war to finally end, the Ukrainian president must go.” – Brandon J. Weichert

Ursula’s big success: More U.S. tariffs – a deal to cry about but presented as victory – “According to media outlets and, of course, politicians – after all, the media is the mouthpiece for politicians – Ursula von der Leyen, representing the EU, achieved a major victory. The Americans agreed to impose tariffs of only 15% on European products! Von der Leyen’s success is so great that the EU will be forced to buy energy from the Americans for the sum of $750 billion and $600 billion for defense equipment from the United States. In short, the Europeans will pay dearly for the incompetence of the clowns who, in a completely unprofessional manner, govern the European Union.” – Sonja van den Ende

Rumours of night time training camps in Great Yarmouth (short VIDEO) – StarmerOut on X  – SO WHAT’S GOING ON IN ENGLAND!!!

John Brennan Just Showed Us Why Nobody Should Ever Take Him Seriously – “Democrats are already making fools of themselves over President Donald Trump’s Friday meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Now, one of them is going full conspiracy theory over the matter. Former CIA Director John Brennan, during a recent appearance on MSNBC, suggested that Putin may have placed a microchip in Trump’s limousine as they rode together to the meeting site. So, Brennan actually believes that a foreign head of state would be stupid enough to try placing some type of bug in the presidential limo while they were on the way to discuss an end to a war. Or perhaps, he’s just doing what he does best: Peddling false narratives.” – Jeff Charles

Mamdani’s “Affordability” Agenda Could be Costly – “His plans include more free or low-cost services, including creating city-owned grocery stores, making all city buses free, freezing rents on stabilized apartments, providing free childcare and raising taxes on the wealthy. While that’s worrisome enough in a city facing potential annual budget gaps of $13 billion, a far more insidious threat to a Mamdani-run city are his anti-law enforcement and pro-offender stances and policy prescriptions.” – Open the Books

How Zionism became orthodoxy for the Jewish religion – “Zionists have managed to conflate Judaism with Zionism, and the few anti-Zionist Jews lack the capacity to carry Jewish identity into the future. The Zionist lobby uses the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism to silence critics of Zionism. A common retort is that Zionism and Judaism are distinct things. This is true now, was even truer in the past, but may very well not be true in the future.” – Bruna Frascolla

New GPS Data Reveals Exactly Who Showed Up At White House Protests – “67 devices tied to federal government employees, with access to secured federal buildings (DoD, VA, DHS, DOJ, FBI, Treasury).” -Tyler Durden

US Pressure Might Inadvertently Bring India & China Back Together – “Any meaningful improvement of Sino-Indo ties, especially in the economic dimension, could prompt Trump to either walk back his hardline policy on India to court it away from China or punitively double down on this approach.” – Andrew Korybko

Are You Drowning Too?: Vegetables Are Up 38.9%, Coffee Is Up 25%, And Electricity Prices Are Rising Twice As Fast As Inflation – Michael Snyder

Home builders boost sales incentives to 5-year high as they struggle to sell newly built homes – “Two-thirds of builders are offering sales incentives to lure home buyers” – Aarthi Swaminathan

America Don’t Need No “Independent” Fed – “Talk about hiding in plain sight. Here is possibly the most important graph ever about the flagging state of the US economy and the utter failure of Washington’s constant efforts during the last two decades to “stimulate” improved outcomes. To wit, the US industrial production index—which measures the sum of manufacturing, energy, mining, and utility output—marched straight uphill at a 3.3% annual rate between 1954 and 2007. Yet since then it has essentially plateaued, rising by just 0.10% per annum during the past 17 years. That’s right. The growth rate of America’s industrial foundation has plunged by 97% since the pre-crisis peak in Q4 2007.” – David Stockman

$37 Trillion (and Counting): How Government Debt Affects Your Wallet – Peter Reagan

The Last Thing We Need Right Now is a Fed Rate Cut – “Pressure on Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve continues to mount as both Wall Street and the White House demand more easy money to keep asset price inflation accelerating ever upward. These inflationists also hope that easy money-policy will somehow reverse the current stagnating trend in employment. In recent months, both President Trump and the usual Wall Street outlets have insisted that the Fed reduce the target policy interest rate to ensure that stock prices and real estate prices continue to skyrocket ever upward. This is the last thing ordinary Americans need right now. Yes, continually rising asset prices are good for firms and individuals who already own large amounts of assets. These people have been pushing for lower interest rates for decades now, because lower interest rates function as a subsidy for asset owners and fuel rising asset prices.” – Ryan McMaken

Former Fed Insider on Recession & Hyperinflation Risk. Bullish for Gold? (VIDEO) – “Danielle DiMartino Booth joins Craig Hemke to reveal the truth about the labor market, the 24 downward payroll revisions in the last 30 months, and the real headcount data that points to ongoing economic weakness.” – Craig Hemke

How Jack Dorsey’s Block Inc Is Reinventing Finance With Bitcoin – “Block, Inc., founded by Jack Dorsey, the co-founder and ex-CEO of Twitter, is a financial technology company with a deepening full-stack connection to the Bitcoin industry through its subsidiaries. Its companies span payments apps and merchant tooling with Bitcoin integration, the development of bitcoin mining hardware, open source software development, a decentralized finance protocol for peer-to-peer markets and even a self-custody hardware wallet. Formerly called Square and founded in 2009, the company started integrating Bitcoin into its technology offering as early as 2014 via Cash App — its most famous subsidiary — allowing merchants to accept bitcoin payments through the app. ” – Juan Galt

How Long Would The Average American Last Without Electricity? – ” It’s a haunting question, and the truth isn’t comforting. Electricity is so woven into our daily lives that most people don’t even notice how many small things depend on it. Flip a switch, and the light comes on. Open the fridge, and food stays cold. Plug in the phone, and you’re connected to everything. But pull the plug on all of that, nationwide, not just for a stormy afternoon, and you’d see just how fragile the cord really is.” – Bob Rodgers

THE BIG PICTURE

The Forbidden Question – “My personal experiences seem to lag a bit behind the general population. I have not, until recently, noticed too many people succumbing to strange cancers. Now, quite a few have come up in my personal life, as well as in my professional life. We have, of course, heard for years that one of the fallouts from the irresponsible release of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine was the possibility of increased cases of all sorts of cancers. Proponents of this view argue that the vaccines, introduced globally in late 2020, have triggered an unprecedented increase in cancer diagnoses, particularly among younger individuals, with cancers presenting as unusually aggressive and resistant to treatment. They point to anecdotal reports from clinicians and pathologists who claim to have observed a rise in rare and rapidly progressing cancers, such as cholangiocarcinoma, lymphomas, and triple-negative breast cancer, since the vaccine rollout. So, what is the forbidden question? Obviously, it is, “Were they vaxxed?” when we hear of an unusual cancer death or diagnosis. We typically do not ask that question for obvious reasons, one of them being that we already know the answer.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

BlackRock’s Larry Fink Now World Economic Forum Co-Chair – “BlackRock CEO, already controlling trillions in assets, now sits atop the Davos machine pushing the “Great Reset.” – Jon Fleetwood  – THIS IS HUGE, ACTUALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!

A few bad cats – “Dear haters… I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to anyone who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom of speech and thought and the rollback of incipient totalitarian joy theft that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said “thank you” and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a subscription to midjourney and spend your Sunday morning cyberbullying addleheaded politicians until they learn to fear the public square as nature intended. Either way, I don’t give a DAMN what you think you’re entitled to!” – El Gato Malo  – WELL SAID BY EL GATO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Cancer”, the greatest FAKE disease-label ever invented – “First, understand that, yes, people suffer, they’re in pain, they are disabled, they die. No one denies that. But from what? Why are they really suffering and dying? These disease labels are COVER STORIES. They protect the corporations and governments that poison populations. The toxins are the real causes.” – Jon Rappoport

Mark Jeftovic on the Genius Act, CBDCs, Bitcoin and the tokenized future (VIDEO) – “Politicians say no CBDCs, but they’re quietly building them anyway.” – Collapse Life

Abortions in Churches? – “Hold my beer…” – Jim McCraigh

Fast Facts Friday – “Rabies is rare. It isn’t scary, but the new mRNA rabies vaccine is indeed terrifying. We just wrote about rabies two weeks ago. It’s in the news even more now. They’re stirring the pot of fear again.” – Dr. Sherri Tenpenny

Here we go again… So, for all of history, until two decades ago, nobody seemed to have a problem with black mold; now it’s a bigger killer than Samuel Little and John Wayne Gacy combined. Wanna learn how this was determined? Remember, these studies we are about to discuss are the best evidence of black mold being harmful, per ChatGPT.” – Agent131711

 

 

 

NEWS (QUITE A FEW AND VARYING OPINIONS ON THE SUMMIT)

Historic Summit: An Empty and Underwhelming PR Spectacle, But Still Good For Relations – “The long-awaited Trump-Putin summit came and went in Anchorage, Alaska:. The cartoonish staging of the event coordination was another Trump ‘special’, straight from the playbook of his teenage-boy fever dream, stacking warplanes like matchbox toys, and even arranging for a crude B-2 Spirit and F-35 stealth bomber flyover above Putin’s head just as he made his way down the hastily-draped runner as some kind of strongman ‘power move’ and intimidation tactic, meant to evoke the recent Iranian strikes: This type of antic stunt ages very badly—it’s gimmicky, low-impulse, and signals to the counterparty—in this case, Putin—that you care more about domestic optics than establishing an atmosphere of true rapport and cooperation; i.e. it’s more a show of bravado to the domestic audience and critics. To the rest of the world, such displays lack taste and class.” – Simplicius   – 👍 WELL SAID BY SIMPLICIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Alaska summit was a success. The challenge is to make it last – “This is the moment when the US has to stick to a course of normalization with Russia no matter what the EU and Kiev want” – Tarik Cyril Amar

How you know the Putin-Trump meeting was a success – “Because all the Russia-haters said it was a failure The Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska ended a few short hours after it started, and it was by any intelligent standard a great meeting. We don’t have all the details yet, but the verdict is still clear. Let’s first establish why the critics have no leg to stand on. From at least March 2022, no Western leader, whether in Europe or North America, ever bothered to meet with Putin. You would think that because there is a war going on, that such a meeting would be priority #1, but apparently they all failed this basic test: Macron, Mertz, Starmer, Meloni, Kristersson, Stubb and all the rest — most importantly, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. None of them lifted a finger to speak with Putin. Only one or two of them even placed a phone call to Putin over those three years. They were useless, which turned into being counterproductive.” – Anton Wahlman

For Putin, It’s Business; For Trump, It’s Fame – “Reflections on the Trump-Putin Meeting in Alaska” – Bill Astore

Trump Grades Putin Summit a ’10’, But it Was a Spectacular Flop – “The summit is over and the next round is reportedly cancelled.” – Mish

Trump Said It: “There’s No Better Word Than Stupid.” – “For anyone who still thinks Donald Trump does not represent the interests of what is called “the deep state” but is actually the shallow or official US state, it is time to think again. If he is not a figurehead for those alleged hidden forces, then he will agree to a Russia-Ukraine settlement on Russia’s fundamental terms – that is, a mutual security agreement that stipulates the pulling back of US/NATO forces encircling Russia, etc. – when he meets with Putin in Alaska today. There will be no further delay.” – Edward Curtin

What’s Standing In The Way Of A Grand Compromise On Ukraine? – “The onus is now on Zelensky to reciprocate Putin’s widely perceived willingness to compromise for peace. Putin and Trump publicly confirmed that they found a lot of common ground during their three-hour-long talks in Anchorage, but no grand compromise on Ukraine was reached due to “a couple of big [points]…” – Andrew Korybko

‘Democrat’ becoming synonymous with criminality, anti-Americanism – “There is no other way to say it: today’s Democrats have a love-affair with criminals, violence, and vulgarity. Thus, they clearly favor illegal immigrants over citizens, criminals over the law-abiding, and chaos over the Constitution. The examples are legion, inexhaustible. To wit:” – Eric Utter

Can Responsibility to Defend and Responsibility to Protect Be Reconciled? – “Trump deployed the National Guard to assist with cleaning up the town. Congress, the deep state, and possibly the courts will go along with this use of, and show of, force not because it is necessary or constitutional, but because it is good for them politically and materially, and because it sets one more useful precedent for federal power. It’s truly a win-win for them. Rather than a philosopher who thinks about how things should be – is man to be self-governed? should the state be limited? is war immoral? –Trump is a technician who assesses the “problem” with the “unit” and seeks to repair or replace it.  Trump is far more sincere and patriotic than either of the Clintons, which makes him a more attractive candidate, and his fix-it mentality has made him a minor threat to those actually moving and shaking the increasingly brittle US empire. ” – Karen Kwiatkowski

Mayor Bowser Sends Mixed Signals in a Washington Whirlwind – “Does she see Trump’s federalization of DC as a help or hindrance?” – Corey Smith

THE DOMINOS ARE FALLING… (GOLDMAN SACHS ISSUES A NEW STOCK MARKET WARNING). (VIDEO) – Gregory Mannarino

Inflation alarm bells went off again and prices are rising. Just how bad is it going to get? – “Consumer and wholesale prices ticked up in July” – Jeffry Bartash

When the Data Is Bad, Just Lie – “Bad jobs numbers? Just say they’re good. High inflation? Just claim it’s low. While the old adage “numbers don’t lie” may have a ring of truth, in reality, people lie a lot, and governments lie constantly—and they’re releasing the data that all the big decisions are supposed to be based on. For example, if people need three different jobs to house and feed their families, that’s clearly not good. But the government will paint it as a great thing by telling you that the jobs numbers are strong, failing to mention that the economy is actually so weak that people need multiple income streams just to survive.” – Peter Schiff  – GREAT POINT FROM PETER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The PROOF is in Today: YOU and U.S. Businesses Are Paying Entirely for the Trump Tariffs – “From CPI inflation earlier this week to skyrocketing producer inflation yesterday to stark proof today that foreign businesses are NOT compensating one bit for tariffs, YOU are the one getting stung!” – David Haggith

Wall Street Is Now Dumping It’s Junk On The Regular Investor (VIDEO) with Lance Roberts – Adam Taggart | Thoughtful Money®

A World Of Fiat – “What isn’t often mentioned is how this massive trade deficit ever came about to the extent that it has to begin with. If the world still operated on a gold standard these mega imbalances would have been impossible. Consider a world where every dollar, yen, or euro was backed by a real, physical piece of gold in a vault. That’s the gold standard. In this system, if the U.S. wanted to buy more goods from other countries than it was selling, it would have to pay in gold. That means gold would be flowing out of the U.S. and into the hands of its trading partners. As the U.S. gold reserves dwindled, the amount of dollars in circulation would shrink, making dollars more valuable. At the same time, the countries receiving all that gold would see their money supply grow, making their currencies less valuable.” – MN Gordon

By using a lure trap that contaminates their food supply, you can collapse the colony from the inside out.” – Bill Heid

THE BIG PICTURE

The Police State Has a New Playbook: Martial Law, One City at a Time – “Let’s not mince words: every American should be alarmed by President Trump’s “Liberation Day” tactics, theatrics and threats. What is unfolding in the nation’s capital is a hostile takeover of our constitutional republic. This is no longer about partisan politics, wag-the-dog distractions from the Epstein debacle, or even genuine national security concerns. This is martial law disguised as law-and-order—the oldest trick in the authoritarian playbook.” – John & Nisha Whitehead  – HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR JOHN’S TAKE ON THIS ONE AND HERE IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The CDC shooter?  Laid-off fed health workers blame KENNEDY – “Aha. Because criticizing a vaccine is endorsing a man to open fire and kill a police officer. Got it.” – Jon Rappoport

CK Verse, Same as the First. Are We Really Going to Let Them Do This to Us Again? When Does Our “Hell, NO!” Get Louder Than Their, “Kill, Yes!”? Are We There Yet, Daddy? – “In case you haven’t noticed, we are in the middle of a participatory genocide. And, in case you haven’t noticed it, we can stop participating, if we can be bothered to do it.” – Rima E Laibow MD

DANGERS AHEAD–Will This Trigger Biblical Prophecy, the Iran War & America’s Downfall? (VIDEO) – John Barnett Online Teaching  – INTERESTING BIBLE INTERPRETATION!!!

Government Warns Americans to Stop Enjoying Life Until Further Notice – “It’s for your safety, really. Well, folks, the fun police are at it again—and now they’re coming for your cappuccino.” – Jenna McCarthy

The CHICKENPOX Contagion Experiments: How Pox & Herpes were Determined to be Contagious – “Just when you think you can’t possibly hear something more idiotic than the last idiotic thing you heard, along comes Chickenpox and Herpes contagion experiments… Up until the early 1900s, it was assumed chickenpox came from birds, hence its name. The medical-science industry insisted there were two types of chickenpox, both of which came from bird “germs”, but they claimed only one of the two types was deadly. Being that chickenpox looked exactly like smallpox and cowpox which looked significantly like herpes, the only way to distinguish what the patient was infected with was the doctor’s best guess.” – Agent131711

Climate Lockdowns – “COVID was the rehearsal…Climate is the show. This month, Canadians learned that a walk in the woods could cost more than a speeding ticket. Now the same reflex is being applied to forests. Banning hiking and picnics does not thin fuels, harden towns, or fix power line ignitions. It manages people, not risk. The result is months of restrictions on ordinary life, justified by a storyline that collapses the complexity of wildfire into a single variable, atmospheric CO₂.” – Dr. Matthew Wielicki

Nothing can or will happen as long as every “expert” continues to lie and spin – “Your tiers of experts and your tiers of media are designed to never get to the truth” – Sage Hana

Farmer’s Almanac Unveils Long-Range Forecast: “Widespread Wintry Weather” For U.S. – “Time to buy firewood.” – Tyler Durden  – HMM, WHAT ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING!!!

TSA considering outsourcing its ‘touchless’ biometric digital ID system to Big Tech – “No physical ID required at 14 U.S. airports and the program is now being handed off to private contractors. And of course there’s no oversight for any of this, so why wouldn’t they lie about what they do with our data? ” – Leo Hohmann

Health Prepping: So Now Cheese Is Poison? – “When Big Pharma and Big Food collaborate, the result is frequently creepy.Because Of Pfizer, 90% Of US Cheese Is Made Using GMO Corn & Black Mold, CRISPR Cow Gene Editing. This Bioengineered Rennet Requires No Special Labeling & No Ingredient Disclosure.” – John Rubino

Net Zero Nutters Suggest a Plague of Ticks Whose Bite Leads to a Potentially Fatal Red Meat Allergy – “Perhaps it’s a drinking or smoking game at Western Michigan University. Try to come up with the most farcical, April Fool-style Net Zero nonsense and see if we can get it published. How about writing a paper titled ‘Beneficial Bloodsucking’ that states it is “morally obligatory” to promote a plague of the lone star tick whose bite can lead to medical problems including an allergy to red meat. Oh, and it could kill you, but more about that later.” – Chris Morrison

NEWS

Trump v Putin in Alaska: Who has the upper hand? – “It’s the Art of the Deal versus Putin’s patience. Place your bets! President Trump is meeting President Putin in Alaska this coming Friday, to seek a truce on Ukraine. The back story is that Trump wants to extricate himself from America’s embarrassing failure to undermine Russia by means of a proxy war through Ukraine. Deep state operatives like Victoria Nuland (remember her?) spearheaded the Maidan revolution in 2013, following which Russia took Crimea. But this was almost certainly an extension of US deep state operations from the Colour revolution of 2004 onwards.” – Alasdair Macleod

Trump and the Feds Take DC! – “We’re finally invading ourselves” – Bill Astore

Save a Country Ride an Ostrich – ” When you picture freedom, maybe you think of an eagle soaring or a horse galloping into the sunset. But maybe—just maybe—our true spirit animal is the ostrich. Yes, the ostrich. A bird that can run 70 km/h, kick with the power to crush bone, and in spirit, is a close cousin of the emu—the bird that literally outmaneuvered an army. What did the emu do? In Western Australia, farmers were overrun by emus eating their crops. The military rolled in with machine guns, thinking it would be a quick victory. It wasn’t. When the dust settled, the emus had won. The government retreated. The “Great Emu War” was over, and the birds remained undefeated. Now imagine the gates swinging open. Imagine the thunder of 400 ostriches tearing across the prairie—not because they’re running away, but because they’re running toward something: freedom. That’s the choice we face as Canadians.” – Connie Shields  – SAME GOES FOR THE U.S. AS WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some of Trump’s STRONGEST Original Supporters Now Call Him a “Sell-Out” or “Betrayer” or “Victim of the Deep State.” – “The Epstein Crisis is opening eyes and changing minds as moral conviction finally rises above political passions.” – David Haggith

Reflections from the Heart of the Empire: Accelerations of Imperial Decline – “Trump’s new visa, immigration, and border harassment policies are projected to cost the American tourism industry over $40 billion this year alone. That’s OK, because all the tourists are now going to Mexico instead! Hacer que Mexico vuelva a ser grande! Buen trabajo, gringo!  Israel has now assassinated more than 270 journalists in Gaza since October 7, 2023. It’s almost as if they want to control the story and make everyone else die trying.” – Ohio Barbarian  – REFLECTIONS ON THE WEEKLY NEWS FROM THE BARBARIAN!!!

Sydney Sweeney, Whiteness, and Eugenics – “Endangered Blondes in America 2.0. Evidently, having a pretty blonde in a jeans ad, with the caption, “Sydney Sweeney has Great Jeans,” is yet another example of the White Privilege which Blacks seem to find everywhere. To my former blue collar worker mind, it just seems like a clever play on words, the kind I enjoy coming up with. But somehow, this has been deemed beyond racist, and perhaps a glorification of Hitler’s National Socialism. You know, Nazism. After all, it’s undeniable that Sweeney has the kind of Aryan looks that would have titillated the Fuhrer, one testicle and all.” – Donald Jeffries

Hoot of the Day: Trump Asks Goldman to Replace Economist Over Tariff Stance – “All that can be said is Tariffs have not amounted to much price inflation yet. But most economists never expected an immediate reaction. As for “late stage”, Trump delayed tariffs so many times, this is early stage, not late stage. Front-running the tariffs was massive. Also, the irony is staggering. Trump warned the automakers, Amazon, and Walmart against raising prices. What does it say when you have to do that? Tariff Confusion – Who Pays the Tariff. Clever questioning forced Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent into admitting the truth. Unfortunately, the reporter needed one more follow-up question: Is Trump ignorant of how tariffs work or is he a liar? I would love to have heard and answer to that.” – Mish

Beef Prices Soar to All-Time High – “Beef prices surged to an all-time high in July as the market grappled with consistently strong demand and long-term issues in domestic production. Meanwhile, the price of ground beef and uncooked beef steaks has risen by 11.5 and 12.4 percent, respectively, both now at record levels. The rising cost of staple agricultural goods such as beef and eggs has put additional strain on Americans’ budgets this year. While the latter has moderated after breaking records in February, shrinking cattle herds continue to weigh heavily on the price of the former.” – Hugh Cameron

THE BIG PICTURE

TRUMP LOCKS-DOWN DC! CALLS IN THE NATIONAL GUARD. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING. (VIDEO) – “We’re going to cover what just happened in Washington DC. Basically being put under military control. Um the cause, well, President Trump is saying out of control crime. I want you to keep this in mind as we move forward through this. Washington DC is not even in the top 15 cities in this nation where there is supposedly out of control crime. So, the fact that DC has now been locked down under military control here, uh, the police being taken over by federal forces, uh, there’s something else going on here. Quite obviously, you got to be deaf, dumb, and blind not to see it. ” – Gregory Mannarino

How Cell Tower Radiation is Killing Our Trees… And What That Means For Human Health – “In cities worldwide, arborists and scientists have documented an odd phenomenon: trees with one side thriving and the other withering. The pattern is so consistent that it can be used to identify where nearby RF sources are located.” – Bill Heid

The new pending “plandemic” – is it scheduled for November? – “What it might involve and when it might be ‘declared’. A follower has been sending me assessments generated from Claude AI based on public data pertaining to genetically-modified (GM) mosquitoes and mosquito (vector)-borne viruses like chikungunya. Don’t you just love the hubris? This guy ghates thinks he can control complex vector-borne pathogen/mammal transmission routes with his GMO mossies with no downside. Sure. Cool story. There are three things to consider here: Chikungunya is not that bad of a virus if you’re healthy. This ghates-guided WEF playbook is tired so rest-assured, even if they do try out a new plandemic on November 25, 2025, you can ignore it and all imposed measures. If you do get bit, then of course, turmeric (greatest anti-inflammatory on the planet), lots of fluids, bone broth or chicken soup, and loads of Vitamin C and D. This isn’t medical advice – it’s common sense and what our moms always did for us when we were young with colds. Happy tyranny-fighting and stay healthy by getting back to being human.” – Jessica Rose

He carries the cross like a scepter, sells his own Bible and coins his own national currency. Big changes. The kind Trump likes to make. Changes to muscle crime to the ground. But also big and intrusive federal government—the kind Republicans used to hate …” – David Haggith

Trump Takes Over DC – “Can President Trump Clean Up Washington’s Streets? For her part, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser struck the usual Democrat pose of “there’s nothing wrong here, Trump’s a liar, orange man bad blah blah blah,” calling Trump’s takeover “unsettling and unprecedented.” She is half right—Trump is the first President to invoke Section 740 of the District of Columbia Self-Government and Governmental Reorganization Act1 to federalize law enforcement in the nation’s capital.” – Peter Nayland Kust  -AS ALWAYS, PETER LOOKS AT THE FACTS!!!

The Art Of The D.C. Clean Up – “President Trump deserves immense credit for making sweeping changes to clean up the appearance of our nation’s capital. The reaction from some corners was immediate outrage—how dare the president flex federal muscle in the nation’s capital? But for those of us who have actually visited D.C. anytime recently, it’s hard not to think: finally. For too long, the capital of the United States—the city that houses the White House, Congress, and the Supreme Court—has looked less like the shining beacon of democracy and more like a live-action hellscape from a horror movie. Tourists and school trips meandering through downtown D.C. to learn about the history of our great nation are confronted with makeshift shantytowns, hypodermic needles and smells worse than J.B.

The fall of Rome 2.0 – “Life in the ruins of a civilization. a fair bit of europe, especially the south, has been in meaningful decline for decades. per capita GDP is shrinking. While western Europe stagnates, you can see the east exploding in growth. To be sure, some of this is because the base was so low after the ravages of Soviet rule, But in many such places the output is rising to rich-world levels. Poland is about to overtake Japan. (so is Lithuania). Europe is a lovely continent with many pleasant places to live and visit. In many regions, quality of life remains good. but for how long? ” – El Gato Malo

It’s As If Tomorrow Has Already Happened. Doom for Gazans. Doom for Israel. – “The Israelis are going to go into and occupy Gaza. They will mass murder, starve, and torture over a million more people to death, and either force a million more to flee or murder them as well. The same crimes will be repeated on the West Bank, albeit with less press and social media coverage, at least at first. North Americans and Europeans will grow more and more horrified(the rest of the world is already there), and that horror will turn to anger. Anger at Israel, anger at their own governments for doing nothing or far worse for far too long, anger at Jews in general. Anger that will force change. Change that will come too late for maybe two million people, but change nonetheless.” – Ohio Barbarian

Here’s why all the critics of Alaska summit are wrong – “Evading diplomacy is a Western folly that Russia has no reason to imitate” – Tarik Cyril Amar

Putin’s Meeting with Trump: The Triumph of Delusion Over Reality – “As far as I can tell, Trump is headed into a “historic meeting” with his Russian counterpart and still has no idea what Putin’s position is. Trump most recently spoke of a peace deal based on a “swapping of territories,” which Zelensky’s European supporters say must be a “reciprocal” swap of territory. Zelensky’s position is that all territory must be returned to Ukraine. Putin’s position is that all territory now incorporated into the Russian Federation must be accepted as Russian by Ukraine and the West. Otherwise, Russia has to repudiate its military victories in a war that was provoked by Washington. But the main problem with Trump’s approach is that he is thinking of the meeting in a very limited context of ending the military conflict with a land swap, whereas Putin wants a mutual security agreement with Washington and NATO that gets NATO off of Russia’s borders. The war that Putin wants to end is the West’s hostility toward Moscow. The war in Ukraine Russia can take care of.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Israel Announces “Final Plan” to Occupy Gaza – “Netanyahu has announced plans for the “final” takeover of Gaza, which he’s instead billing as a “liberation” from Hamas: It’s interesting how, given Netanyahu’s above infographic, Israel’s objectives in Gaza can be superficially compared to the Russian SMO. The difference is, Russia is following international law, whereas Israel is breaking it.” – Simplicius

Consumer Borrowing Continues to Sag Signaling Economic Pain on Main Street – “For the second straight month, consumer borrowing was weak, indicating Americans might be close to their credit limits. Over the last several months, credit card spending has dropped, signaling that Americans may be running out of borrowing power. This is bad news for an economy that depends on consumers buying stuff to stay afloat.” – Mike Maharrey

U.S. to Revalue Its Gold Reserves – “Some have speculated that this official revaluation will be utilized to pay down and retire some of the $37T in U.S. federal debt, and maybe it will. However, far more likely is a revaluation for the purpose of funding President Trump’s Sovereign Wealth and/or Bitcoin Reserve funds. Revaluing the official U.S. gold reserves from $42.22/ounce to the current market price of $3400 would “create” nearly $800B in what would be termed “debt neutral” cash, and that $800B would be used to finance Trump’s funds.” – Craig Hemke

THE BIG PICTURE

Deception, Trojan Horses, and the Carrot/Stick Combo – “Remember the primary way people used to sell things? Particularly the tinkers and snake-oil guys. They would try to trick you into believing what they were selling was something it wasn’t. “Buyer beware” was the motto (well, not their motto, but one nonetheless). The idea was, if you could get away with it, so be it. Getting “swindled,” “hoodwinked,” “duped,” “conned,” “bamboozled,” “fleeced,” “scammed,” or best of all, “taken for a ride,” was the name of the game. And if the tinker got you, it was your fault. The buyer had to be careful. Not too many felt sorry for their naïveté. Then Big Brother came along. Laws were passed “protecting” the consumer. Big daddy government came to the rescue to help the poor stupid buyer who didn’t know better. Thank God.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP  – ANOTHER GOOD READ FROM TODD!!!

Have our bodies already been taken over by technology? – “THERE IS a growing realisation among the public that ‘weather manipulation’ is a real phenomenon and has been a huge part of the war on mankind that was officially declared in 2020. The practice of geo-engineering has even begun to appear regularly in the mainstream media, albeit via the narrative wrapped around justifying and endorsing the UK Government’s plans to ‘dim the sun’. Author and activist Elana Freeland argues that this kind of activity is not for our benefit and has been going on for far longer than recent headlines lead us to believe.” – Dr Shane Fudge

Alaska Summit Announced: Is the End Finally Near? – “Trump and Putin have announced their historic peace summit for next week, and in Alaska of all fatefully symbolic places. Is the conflict finally approaching its concluding arc? Not so fast.” – Simplicius

Does President Trump Talk Too Much? – “The more Trump speaks about his global intentions and solutions, ostensibly to Make American Great Again, the more he comes across as a statist, pursuing personality-, bureaucratic-, and party-driven mandates down to the smallest detail. This kind of totalitarian obsessiveness in the Capitol is also an indicator that a nation, and its money, is in the process of dying.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

Mexican President: ‘U.S. not Coming to Mexico with their Military’ – “Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum claimed U.S. troops will not be entering her country to fight drug cartels. The claim comes just hours after a report pointed to U.S. President Donald Trump having signed a secret order directing the U.S. military to move against drug cartels.” – Mexican President: ‘U.S. not Coming to Mexico with their Military’ 218 Mexico will not allow U.S. to attack cartels (FILE: Getty Images)FILE: Getty Images ILDEFONSO ORTIZ and BRANDON DARBY8 Aug 20251,751 2:11 Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum claimed U.S. troops will not be entering her country to fight drug cartels. The claim comes just hours after a report pointed to U.S. President Donald Trump having signed a secret order directing the U.S. military to move against drug cartels. When asked about it during her morning news conference, Sheinbaum said that U.S. troops would not be entering Mexico, adding that her government had been very straightforward with the Trump administration, stating that they would not allow U.S. action but were willing to cooperate. “We cooperate, collaborate, but there will be no invasion,” she said. “That is off the table, absolutely off the table.” The report that triggered the heated question came from the New York Times, which claimed that the order provides an official basis for direct military operations at sea or on foreign soil against cartels. Sheinbaum stated that in prior calls and discussions with the Trump administration, her government had informed the U.S. that military intervention was not permitted and was not part of any accords. “We had been told that this order was coming, and it was expressed to us that there was going to be no participation of any military or institution in our territory,” the Mexican president said. “The U.S. agencies that have a presence in this country are very strictly regulated. We are the country that has more regulations on foreign agencies.” Ildefonso Ortiz and Brandon Darby

Zionism, Equity and Imperium Has Replaced DEI – “No ordinary person voted for this. The Trump Administration has leveled the field of identity group competition by means of declaring they’re not going to single out any identity groups for exalted treatment anymore, except for one—the Jews. And not even all Jews, oh no, just the ones who support Israel. Just the Zionist ones. They’re special, not to mention sensitive, because their ancestors got genocided before they, or I for that matter, was born. Zionists are so sensitive, in fact, that any criticism of them or their obviously genocidal apartheid state must be banned in order to protect their feelings, which matter more than other people’s because The Holocaust.” – Ohio Barbarian

China was the second biggest spender, accounting for $12.5 billion, followed by the United Kingdom with $10.4 billion. ” – Tyler Durden

Wait – How Are We Seeing the Lowest Home Prices In Decades? – “Most Americans see home prices at record highs. Housing affordability, by most standards, is worse than it’s ever been. But if we change the way we measure, today’s homes are more affordable than ever. Don’t be confused – just stop thinking in dollars… And, as I’ve said, the housing market is about to get even worse. Then, there comes along a guy, a podcaster, who says that we’re actually seeing the lowest home prices in decades? What is he even talking about? Knowing the housing market situation in America right now, you might be tempted to say that anyone who says that housing prices are low is being absurd for humor’s sake or is delusional. But what if the guy isn’t delusional or being absurdist? What if his statement is true when you understand what he’s comparing housing prices to? Then, maybe, it might be worth hearing him out to see the point that he’s making. So, I’m going to let you do just that: hear him out. You can watch the under nine minute video below (or on Youtube).” – Peter Reagan

Did HHS Secretary Kennedy Really Ban mRNA Vaccines? Trump Fails to Confirm and Instead Boasts About Operation Warp Speed – “Both the Corporate Media and Alternative Media have reacted very strongly to this announcement claiming that the Government has now stopped funding all mRNA vaccines. But their reactions were polar opposites, from horrified by the Pharma-funded corporate media, to overjoyed by the alternative media. Both sides are wrong in their assumption that all funding for mRNA shots was ending. Listen to what he actually said:The money is just being redirected to develop other vaccines. As we look at what the HHS Secretary has done so far since being appointed to his position, we can clearly see that Mr. Kennedy wants MORE vaccines, not less. They just have to be “safe vaccines,” according to him. ” – Brian Shilhavy – AS I HAVE SAID PREVIOUSLY, ALL FOR SHOW OR NOT,  AS THEY HAVEN’T TOTALLY GOTTEN RID OF mRNA RESEARCH!!!!

Negotiations Fever Strikes Again as Trump’s “Deadline” Hits Midnight – Simplicius

Donald Trump’s nuclear war threat – only a storm in a teacup? – “The West is losing its military wars in Europe and in the Middle East. Russia is now crushing the third “Ukrainian” army equipped by NATO and financed by the West. Iran’s counterstrike against USraeli aggression recently destroyed Israel to such an extent that further open acts of war by the West against Iran had to be suspended for the time being. Western air defenses had and still have no effective means against the superior Russian and Iranian missiles and drones. As a result, the West no longer has any means of escalation dominance in conventional warfare. This now lies entirely with Russia and Iran. However, since the West has not abandoned its war aims of regime change in Russia (in order to subsequently fillet and gut the country) and in Iran (in order to regain control of the Middle East), the countries concerned must continue to prepare themselves for corresponding decapitation strikes. As a military means, the West ultimately has no choice but to resort to nuclear weapons, because its conventional weapons are failing.” – Peter Haenseler

TARIFFMANIA – “Tariffs are going to Make America Great Again!!!! Our deficit problems will be cured. The national debt will decline. Our fiscal nightmare is over. Right? Trump is so excited, he can’t sleep. He’s boasting about the billions in tariff revenues at midnight. He ain’t wrong. Trump isn’t bashful about hyping what he believes are outstanding achievements, like quadrupling tariff revenues and forcing those foreign countries to “pay their fair share”. The numbers don’t lie, but a little perspective on the scale and ultimate impact of these tariffs may be helpful. I think a personal anecdote I’ve experienced will show you the devious methods corporations will use to pass these tariffs along. I have been buying a pack of coated paper plates at Wal-Mart for years. The pack contained 70 paper plates. Within the last four months, the pack was reduced to 50 plates, for the same price. They know the average dolt, after years of government schooling, is deficient in math skills, so they would not realize they just experienced a 40% increase in price per plate. This will show up nowhere in the fake BLS numbers. Shrinkflation is just as bad as inflation, but they can hide it and pretend all is well, while maintaining their profits.” – Jim Quinn

Going, Going Gone. . . . – “In case you’re wondering why the Democratic Party is in a death spiral, it is the proportionate response to the damage they have done to American culture and politics. Coming into the 21st century, our country was beset by looming decline. Our industrial base was going, going, gone, and with it millions of well-paying blue-collar jobs, the Democratic Party base. It was replaced by a so-called “financialized economy,” which was sanitized language for sets of swindles and frauds allowed to operate in the de-regulated banking system, in concert with the politicized Federal Reserve and crooked Congressional interests — you notice how many politicians paid $175-K a year somehow acquired multi-million-dollar fortunes? What mainly grew in this period was government and things that fed off of it,” – James Howard Kunstler

Trump warns courts against knocking down tariffs, says duties are ‘huge positive’ for stock market – ““It would be 1929 all over again, a GREAT DEPRESSION,” he added.” – Alex Harring – HE DOESN’T HAVE A CLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does Donald Trump Really “Run the World”? – “Or is he even in charge of the White House? On Wednesday, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, whom I have dubbed the “dog killer,” announced that there would be some new conditions on the disbursement of the $1.9 billion in Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds that have been authorized by Congress in the upcoming “big, beautiful budget.” Bear in mind that the money in the budget comes from taxpayers and is intended to alleviate the suffering of Americans who are enduring natural disasters. The Trump administration has now declared that states and cities will not receive FEMA funding if they choose to boycott or otherwise cease doing business with Israeli companies or individuals. That you are a US tax payer paying taxes to assist fellow Americans in an emergency is irrelevant if Israel is involved. The special case granted to Israel is, by the way, unique. No other country enjoys that same privileged status with the current US government.” – Philip Giraldi  – GUESS WE KNOW WHO IS RUNNING THE SHOW!!!!

Trump Authorizes Military Action Against the Drug Cartels in Major Escalation – “President Donald Trump has directed the Pentagon to target foreign drug cartels, including those in neighboring Mexico. The “secretly signed” order, which isn’t so secret anymore, officially authorizes the use of military force in the battle against the drug trade, including possibly on foreign soil.” – Bonchie  – ANOTHER UNDECLARED WAR DONE IN SECRET!!!!

Homicidal Tariffs Rule the Days Ahead as Far as the Eye Can See – “(But in this clouded mess, that is not far.)” – David Haggith

ALERT! THE GOVERNMENT INITIATES AN EMERGENCY DEBT AUCTION. (RUNNING OUT OF CASH). (Video) – “if you thought that, let’s say, for example, the data was fake before, and it all was to the upside. Imagine if they reported the real stuff. Um, what we’re about to see is going to take on a whole new meaning or not see. How’s that? We’re not going to see anything true anymore. I mean, zero truth.  I believe most of us here thought maybe the data would become more real uh when President Trump got the position behind the Resolute desk. I mean, under Biden, it was unbelievably fake. But now  the issue is that even the mainstream media right now is afraid to report even fake numbers to the upside because what happened at the BLS was a sign of what’s to come.” – Gregory Mannarino

The Gathering Economic Storm – “I suspect Trump knows there is serious trouble afoot; after all, he nearly got ruined in the 1980s by being over-levered during the late 70s and early 80s inflationary mess — which Jimmy Carter got blamed for but which was basically dumped in his lap by fiscal policy in the two prior Administrations. You can call Trump many things but stupid isn’t one of them and he also knows whoever is in the left seat of the airplane when it goes down always gets blamed whether its their fault or not. Trump is, of course, in the left seat as President of the United States. This knowledge is likely behind most of what appear to be recent unhinged rants, whether at Jerome Powell or at the BLS — he’s setting the table to be able to point the finger if and when a huge dislocation-style downdraft occurs.” – Karl Denninger

Expect Big Negative Revisions on GDI, Spending, and Industrial Production – “Job revisions are the tip of the iceberg.” – Mish

Bear squeezes in PMs – “Lack of physical liquidity is putting a bear squeeze on gold, silver, and platinum group metal derivatives. After a bullish consolidation, gold, silver, and PGMs are set to resume rising. Silver is just one metal being squeezed higher. Besides rare earths uranium, platinum group metals, lithium, steel, iron ore, titanium and copper (despite its tariff-related sell-off) have all been in bull markets in the past year. This tells us that stockpiling governments and large multinational manufacturers have been selling dollars for tangible metals. Therefore, it is hardly surprising that some metal derivatives are running into trouble. The shorts in forwards and futures are worried for good reason. In the case of silver, platinum, and palladium short squeezes have the potential to propel prices vertically higher.” – Alasdair Macleod

How To EMF-Proof Your Home – “While EMPs get a lot of the chatter, there’s another electromagnetic threat that’s far more insidious, ever-present, and already inside your home in the form of EMFs.

Scrabble and Prepping – Part 1 – “A few years back I was at an auction where a prepper had passed away. He had everything under the sun and appeared to be well stocked in the food department as well as many other areas. While looking over everything before the auction started, I noticed a Scrabble board game. I thought to myself, “Now here’s a guy who was really prepared for TEOTWAWKI.” Standard operating procedure for Scrabble is that during a player’s turn, they can only use the seven tiles in their rack to form words. With prepping, as with many aspects of life, we don’t want to get stuck in a standard operating procedure mindset when putting our preps together. Oftentimes we need to tweak things for our particular situation and use situational operating procedure as long as it still gets the job done.” – St. Funogas

THE BIG PICTURE

Re-meme-bering – “The times are trying. For those of us not blessed with youth and exuberance and energetic feistiness, there are only three things we can do now as we face a difficult future. The very first one is courage. I’m not talking about the courage required to take a stick and whack someone, but the kind of courage that stays true to your essence. It is the kind of courage that says “I don’t believe this to be right and this is why,” despite the peer pressure and the fear of repercussions.” – Sylvia Shawcross – HIGHLY RECOMMEND READING THIS ONE FROM SYLVIA!!!

How to Develop Godly Discernment – “3 Ways to Foster Good Decision Making” – Kate Dreston

Quick Take…Are Digital IDs coming piecemeal? – “I’m starting to think a full-scale, nationwide compulsory digital ID won’t ever be a thing. Not officially, anyway. Not for quite a while. It must be taken entirely on trust that the app which tracks your international travel, the app which tracks your car, the app which tracks your taxes, the app which tracks your immigration status, the app which tracks your health records and the app which verifies your age are all entirely separate. Do you truly believe they are? The fact of the matter is that, in one form or another, every proposed usage of digital ID scheme either already exists or will do so in the near future.” – Kit Knightly

Civilization Protects the Predators, Not the Victims – “The truth is becoming increasingly evident. Most of life today is based on lies, deceit, and pretend debt-driven finance. It is challenging to discern the truth about anything today, as there is always someone or some organization speaking out against everything imaginable. We have even had those in the world of psychology try to minimize the evil of pedophilia. Modern psychology is useless to civilization. Though psychologists recognize that up to 4% of the population are psychopaths and sociopaths, they are unable to focus on the typical behaviors that are especially evident in medicine, politics, and religion.” – Dr. Sircus

HHS Just Terminated 22 mRNA Projects—But Quietly Preserved the Bill Gates-Funded Bird Flu Shot (VIDEO) – “Please don’t be fooled by this. Yes, HHS has done a good thing by terminating 22 mRNA vaccine projects. That’s great. But you’re going to get fooled by a lot of influencers and people who don’t know the inside baseball. That, oh, they’ve stopped mRNA vaccine development projects. That’s not what’s happened. They’ve only stopped some mRNA vaccine projects and they’re going to allow others to continue. Which ones are they going to allow to continue? Arcturus Therapeutics, ARCT 2304, bird flu vaccine, which they’ve been working on for years. It’s tied to Bill Gates. It’s tied to gain of function experiments.” – Jon Fleetwood

THIS IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH – “The HHS just admitted that the mRNA platform is NOT safe and NOT effective. Who is going to be held accountable for all the adverse events, disabilities and deaths caused by these biological weapons?” – James Roguski

The Boomer Mirage – “One Chart. Three Generations. Total Extraction. I saw this chart making the rounds on Twitter this week, and it stopped me cold. While the specific figures combine data from multiple sources, the trend is undeniable: in 1950, over half of 30-year-olds were married homeowners. By 2025, some analysts project that number as low as 13%. That’s not a societal transformation. It’s not an economic fluke. It’s the visible outcome of an invisible strategy—one that extracted everything it could from a three-generation arc and left only illusions in its place. They’ll tell you people just choose differently now—that marriage rates fell because of changing values. But people can’t choose what they can’t afford. When the economic foundation for family formation disappears, cultural changes follow inevitably” – Joshua Stylman

Anthony Fauci, Liar Extraordinarie – “It’s doubtful any American public figure has knowingly told more harmful lies than this revered, multi-millionaire servant of evil”. – Bill Rice Jr.

Forbes: “New Illness Spreading In China: What To Know About The Chikungunya Virus”- ” Uh oh…looks like we got another Chyynnaaaaa disease on our hands. So the mosquito virus does not transmit from person to person but still people are being held until they “test” negative.” – Sage Hana

As America Soul Searches, The Rest Of The West Is Falling Apart – “Though we might think of American culture as the content driver of the planet, the reality is that our ideals are an exceedingly rare dynamic found in no other society. We provide sanctuary to a fragile ember of free thought in an otherwise gloomy world of globalist oppression. It is something that must be protected at all costs. Over the years I’ve heard many arguments from ignorant liberals about the grand progressive accomplishments of the European experiment and its centralized system. I’ve been told many times about how much safer Canada and Australia are. How the UK has near zero gun crime and how socialism works so well in Norway and Sweden. Leftists in the US have long embraced this messaging as gospel and for generations they have told us that we MUST join the rest of western civilization by sacrificing certain liberties for the sake of future generations.” – Brandon Smith

Can Western Nations Be Saved? – “Nations that denounce their own cultures, traditions, histories, and religions are not nations for long.” – J.B. Shurk

Theft of a Nation: How the Deep State Swamp Is Stealing the People’s Power – “What on earth is happening to this country? How, over the course of 250 years, did we go from prizing self-government to allowing a corrupt, self-serving ruling elite to dominate us with terror campaigns, brute force, and psychological warfare? Don’t be fooled: the madness, mayhem and malice unfolding in America is not politics as usual. It’s not partisan hardball. It’s not bureaucratic overreach. It’s theft in the gravest sense imaginable: the theft of our nation, the theft of our sovereignty as citizens, the theft of our constitutional republic.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

The Contaminated Mind – “The US was always going to be a mishmash of cultures and started it’s modern life that way. What land had once been Spanish, became French and after it was French, it became American. When we needed workers, they came from all over the world, including Hungary, Poland, Ireland, Germany, Italy, etc. That sort of diversity helped to build this nation, but diversity for diversity’s sake is vastly more destructive. Everyone knows “diversity” is simply the fluffy phrase to describe the extermination of European descendants.” – T.L. Davis

America the FUBAR – “An Ailing, Flailing, Failing Empire Lashes Out. Oh, and my wife and I really do use the expression, “But Bibi needs bombs,” whenever the government says it can’t fund something for the American people. It’s funny but I’ve never heard anyone in Congress ask: Bombs for Bibi—how are you going to pay for that? America’s bipartisan warmongers always find plenty of money for weapons and war, even as money for health care and other needs evaporates. It’s almost as if America has a powerful military-industrial complex combined with pushy lobbying groups like AIPAC.” – Bill Astore

Is Trump Taking Us to War? – “Trump doesn’t negotiate. He delivers ultimatums with punishments attached for non-compliance. Never during the Cold War did an American president issue an ultimatum to the Soviet leader. What is Putin supposed to comply with? Trump hasn’t told us or Putin.” – Paul Craig Roberts

The Commission has not said it will introduce any incentives to ensure the private sector meets that $600 billion target, nor given a precise timeframe for the investment.” – Gregorio Sorgi – SO BASICALLY THIS IS A NOTHINGBURGER!!!!!

CHINA. Innovation Over Decimation = China Bad – “CHINA is infiltrating the US Government! The CCP is taking over America! Really? We invited them, just as we invited Nazi Scientists post WWII. We bring Chinese into the US and set them up at Universities and inside government and we’ve been doing this for Decades. The entire ‘China Bad Syndrome’ was created by the same NGO’s inviting China into America. ” – Helena Glass

Leaked FBI Document Reveals Jeffrey Epstein’s Secret History as an FBI Informant – “A 2008 internal file obtained through a successful Freedom of Information Act lawsuit shows Epstein was operating as an FBI informant before his now-infamous 2007 sweetheart plea deal. “Epstein has also provided information to the FBI as agreed upon,” a special agent whose name was redacted wrote on an internal cable dated Sept. 9, 2008, marked “ROUTINE.” It added: “Case agent advised that no federal prosecution will occur in this matter as long as Epstein continues to uphold his agreement with the State of Florida.”” – Matthew Acton

I’m ashamed to say that until today, I hadn’t felt strongly enough to actually write about the well-being of these animals. I’m sad to say it took this post on Twitter this evening—showing a horse collapsed and dead in the middle of Manhattan—for me to finally be compelled to write this piece.” – Quoth the Raven

 

 

 

 

ECONOMIC NEWS

The ‘Yellow Brick Road’ Isn’t About a Movie – “Sometimes I fail to remember what silver dimes will be—post-collapse. Instead I see them in terms of being the least valuable silver asset—if one needs to sell to dealers. But, in fact, the collapse is coming, and silver dimes will be among the best barter items for procuring the necessities of life. It’s not about speculation—it’s buy and hold. But, I’m certain enough to tell it straight up: if you’re still in stocks, you’re nuts. If you have dollars in CDs, they’ve likely been used to buy mortgages. When that bank goes under, you lose, brother. If you have 800K in dollars, good luck when they make you turn it in for new currency?” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com  – A MUST READ FROM ERIK.

THE BIG PICTURE

What happens when the masses become collapse aware? – “Mass delusion and the comfort of denial. Eventually, the storm hits the shore and can no longer be dismissed as theoretical. When collapse becomes undeniable, how do people behave? Disaster researchers find most don’t panic or turn violent.” – Sarah Connor

GAIN OF FICTION – “With the bandying around of the word “PSY-OP” on most Troofers lips these days, funnily enough, seemingly a more important and substantial talking point than any actual scientific evidence; I want to address this one area of Virology which, to me, IS quite clearly a Psychological Operation: The notion that they can take non-existent “Viruses”, play around with their non existent “Genetics” and make something Super Duper more scary and lethal than its non-lethal, non-existent starting point.” – Jamie Andrews  – INTERESTING TAKE FROM JAMIE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hoax Bioweapons for Beginners: the Primer on Pandemic Racketeering – “I would like to start with a quote by a popular liar, Jeffrey Sachs – “Governments lie all the time but superpowers make super lies.” Sachs is currently making media circles in the “freedom-adjacent” space. However, his job as a Director of a Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University entails promoting globalist fairy tales of “viral pandemics” and “human-induced climate change” for mass murder and enslavement of ordinary people. This entails lying 24/7/365, which is what he is doing while pretending to be a critic of “government super-lies”. That aside, both “natural” and “lab leak” narratives are LIES. Two years ago I predicted that the lab leak narrative will be eventually rolled out as the zoonosis lie will become unsupportable:” – Sasha Latypova

Canada Advances Plan to ‘Vaccinate’ Public with Bill Gates-Funded Covid mRNA Aerosols – Frank Bergman

University of Nebraska Asks Where The Bird Flu Went – “Some of us are still wondering why, all of a sudden, bird flu has dropped from headlines and is no longer infecting human beings in the United States. Now, the University of Nebraska has asked the same question and given us all an answer. The simple answer given was: Cases have gone down, but experts warn that it hasn’t disappeared.” – Mac Slavo  – PERHAPS THEY’LL QUIT CULLING THE FOOD SUPPLY FOR A WHILE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

‘This is serious’: Starmer orders move towards digital ID system – “The prime minister is seriously considering introducing a universal digital ID system as a way of tackling illegal immigration and improving the delivery of public services. Cabinet ministers say Keir Starmer has become increasingly convinced of the need to harness the power of technology to drive Whitehall efficiency, bear down on fraud and transform the relationship between citizens and the state.” – Rachel Sylvester

NEWS

Suspicious Minds – “The RussiaGate psychodrama is about an agreement based on lies. It started with Hillary Clinton’s desperate ploy to save her foundering 2016 election campaign. Her emails somehow got sent to Wikileaks, a radical news org dedicated to revealing government secrets, implicating misconduct. It was easy to declare the Russians did it, by hacking — when it was much more likely, in fact, proven by a forensic audit, that a Clinton campaign insider downloaded the info on a thumb drive, perhaps one Seth Rich, found murdered on a DC sidewalk soon thereafter. Every lie after that met the kind of skepticism among the public that generates heat, controversy, scandal, and fire.” – James Howard Kunstler

The Nixon Strategy – “There’s a story – it may be true – that Nixon (back when he was president) thought it would be a fine idea to make the North Vietnamese and the nuclear-armed Soviets who backed them believe he was irrational and volatile enough to push the button, so as to bluff them into kowtowing. History repeats because human nature never changes. Our Nixon seems to also believe it’s a fine idea to convey to the Russians that he just might push the button. Only this time, the Russians might just do it first.” – Eric Peters

Gold Signals War (VIDEO) with Martin Armstrong – “Honestly, this is turning into a grade school fight. I don’t know what Trump expects. He’s hurling insult after insult, and there is no possibility of peace anymore. It’s one thing to do tariffs and sanctions against Russia. Now, he is saying we are going to put sanctions on anybody that even deals with Russia. This is economic war. It’s as simple as that. . .. We don’t even have anyone to negotiate on behalf of the West. It’s dead, completely dead.” – Greg Hunter

Cold War 2.0 Heats Up – “Last week the nuclear rhetoric between the US and Russia made some of us feel like we were transported back to 1962. Back then, Soviet moves to place nuclear-capable missiles 90 miles off our coast in Cuba led to the greatest crisis of the Cold War. Fast forward more than 60 years later and we have a US president, Donald Trump, who last week stated that he had “ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions,” meaning nearer to Russia. Had Russia attacked the US or an ally? Threatened to do so? No. The supposed re-positioning of US strategic military assets was in response to a sharp series of posts made by former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev on social media that irritated President Trump.” – Ron Paul

What Does It Mean to Be a Free Nation? – “What Westerners have learned during the interregnum between the Cold War’s conclusion and the emerging censorship State being constructed today is that Western governments were never faithful stewards of the public’s natural liberties. They told us that they were for free speech and against Soviet-style oppression, but they didn’t mean real free speech. They meant speech relatively aligned with the governments’ own interests.” – J.B. Shurk

Sexy Jeans, Culture Wars and Profits — The Sydney Sweeney Effect – “Woke is dead as a doornail with one sexy jeans ad. Critics accused the spot of echoing eugenic or white supremacist rhetoric because Sweeney is blonde, blue-eyed, and framed as genetically “blue.” Some even labeled it “Nazi propaganda.” Yet the real shock was how the backlash backfired.” – Brian C. Joondeph

Lizzo Weighs in on Sydney Sweeney Ad with Jeans Image, Gets Dragged by Followers – “Lizzo drew backlash this week after she appeared to mock American Eagle’s viral Sydney Sweeney campaign, posting an AI-generated image of herself in full denim alongside the caption: “My jeans are black.” Commenters flooded Lizzo’s Instagram post calling the image divisive and unnecessary:” – Trent Walker

Trump says Epstein ‘stole’ Virginia Giuffre from his spa (VIDEO) – Washington Post  – MAKE SURE YOU READ THE COMMENTS ON THIS ONE!!!

Western countries’ pledge to recognize Palestinian state may help negotiations, but some say it’s too late – “Some say that sanctions against Israel are more critical now in the face of starvation in Gaza Plans announced by France, the United Kingdom and Canada to recognize a Palestinian state won’t bring one about anytime soon, though they may further isolate Israel and strengthen the Palestinians’ negotiating position over the long term. The problem for the Palestinians is that there may not be a long term.” – The Associated Press

The Folly of NATO’s Swamp Line of Defense – “As tensions escalate between NATO and the Russian Federation, Western planners have begun promoting an improbable defense doctrine—one that leans not on steel or missiles, but on wetlands.” – Phil Butler

Russian oil red lines: The EU and US are about to push India too far – “As the West accuses New Delhi of “supporting Russia’s war” by importing its crude, the nation of 1.4 billion people defines its red lines” – Manish Vaid

A further U.S. attack on Iran would be pointless kabuki – “Escalation with Russia is clearly on the cards (in one form or another), but Trump has also threatened to attack Iran’s nuclear sites – again.” – Alastair Crooke

Dutch Intel Flags Israel As ‘State Threat – “In a remarkable development, Amsterdam’s National Coordinator for Security and Counter-Terrorism (NCTV) has designated the Zionist entity a “state threat”. The agency’s annual assessment of “threat actors” for 2025 takes damning aim at malign “attempts to influence Dutch politics and society” by the Israeli government and its local lobbying apparatus.” – Kit Klarenberg

THE BIG PICTURE

When “Dead Enough” Becomes a Metric – “How Performance Metrics Are Corrupting Medicine’s Most Sacred Threshold. The heart monitor flatlines. The family weeps. The doctors wait exactly 75 seconds—then restart the procedure. In the world of organ transplants, “dead enough” has become a moving target. The New York Times just reported something most people aren’t ready to hear: in the rush to expand organ transplants, procurement teams have sometimes started too early. Not after death—before it was fully established.” – Joshua Stylman

SUB-ATOMIC CHAOS: A Biblical Sized Risk to Humanity (VIDEO) with Cory Hillis – “In the United States we are ALL being bombarded by dangerous EMF radiation on a daily basis. The negative biological effects CAN include: Fatigue, sleep disturbances, concentration difficulties, headaches, immune system imbalances, cancer, evidence for Alzheimer’s disease, lower sperm count, other reproductive issues & much more. Find out HOW to prevent radiation poisoning and abate these serious health risks ” – SGT Report

Childhood vaccines have been laced with a known neurotoxin for years and the government just now decided to do something about it – “Mercury is not only in vaccines, it’s in our mouths and in other products. It’s making people dumber and less fertile, two things the globalists have always wanted.” – Leo Hohmann

How Oligarchs Steal America’s Public Lands – “And how they proceed to destroy it. Trump eliminated the estate tax on farmers this week. This is a huge boost for their survival and the celebration in every township and county will go on for years. Also last week, the EPA eliminated the preposterous endangerment finding on CO2. Further, given these regulatory reforms, starting businesses and manufacturing in local communities will be much much easier. This is huge. But, and of course, there is a but: Buried in Trump’s Genius Act, lies yet another fascist incursion on America’s lands.” – Elizabeth Nickson

SMALL MAHA WIN: RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz Just SHUT DOWN a Policy that Turned Hospitals into Vaccine Enforcers – “Some small, but exceptionally welcome news from the stunted, subverted and neutered MAHA movement.” – 2nd Smartest Guy in the World

Ever heard of geofencing? – “Not just for dogs anymore! Geofencing is a location-based technology that creates a virtual boundary around a specific geographic area using global positioning systems (GPS), radio frequency identification (RFID), Wi-Fi, or cellular data. When you enter or exit a “defined area” with your smart phone, pre-programmed actions will be triggered. What do I mean by pre-programmed actions? Think of notifications being sent (AI-based tattle tailing), tracking movements (stalking), or enabling/disabling certain features (you no eat today because you ‘broke our rules’). Now, they’re going to sell this insanity as a marketing scheme which will be “ideal for broad, general targeted marketing, such as sending promotions to customers within a certain distance from a store”. …but at what bloody cost to privacy? How far is too damned far? To me, all this is a wolf in sheep’s clothing except the wolf ain’t a wolf and the sheep’s clothing ain’t clothing.” – Jessica Rose

How To Subvert Stuff White People Like – “Reexamining the popular SWPL blog that made fun of white liberals and spicy commentary on the full list of 135 virtue signaling favorites. Comrades: Do you like Stuff White People Like? Stuff White People Like (SWPL) was a popular satirical blog that peaked during the early Obama years. It received over 100 million views and turned into a bestselling book. SWPL coined the term to describe stereotypical white liberals. It was funny then, but predicted the coming insanity of that subculture. The harmless humor of Portlandia devolved into the violent anarchy of Antifa.” – Yuri Bezmenov

Real Holes in Neverland – “Even though it isn’t a nut, reality is especially hard to crack these days. But if you closely observe daily life all around you, no matter how superficial it may at first seem, you will catch many glimpses of why this may be so. The signs of falsehood are everywhere here in the land of make-believe, for those willing to decipher them.” – Edward Curtin  – VERY GOOD READ FROM ED!!!!

Trump is DANGEROUSLY stupid, leading to wars. – “Trump is not reading his Daily Intelligence Briefs that he receives from his Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard (summarizing the findings of all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies), but instead he receives his ‘information’ from his friends and others (such as Lindsey Graham) who share his prejudices, such as believing his equation of anti-Israel with anti-Semitic (anti-Jew), as-if ALL Jews support Israel, which is stupid, and not ONLY a false belief. Trump’s abysmal stupidity is leading the U.S. into war against not only Iran, but also Russia. He surrounds himself almost exclusively with neocons, and always comes around to their views — despite what the facts are.” – Eric Zuesse

We enable humanitarian aid throughout the duration of the war to enter Gaza – otherwise, there would be no Gazans.”—Israeli Prime Vampire Benjamin Netanyahu Material Reality replied, “My people are starting to hate Israel.”—Donald Trump to an unnamed Jewish donor, according to the Financial Times. This tells us two things: Trump has not totally lost his vaunted ability to read the room. Trump will continue to heed the dictates of his bribers and blackmailers, but is letting them know his power is not absolute so please don’t out him when everything comes crashing down.” – Ohio Barbarian  – THE BARBARIAN.S WEEKLY RECAP, WORTH READING AS USUAL!!!

MTG Signals Potential Break-Up with the Republican Party – “Republican firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia has some grievances with the Republican Party and she’s not keeping quiet about them. “I don’t know if the Republican Party is leaving me, or if I’m kind of not relating to Republican Party as much anymore, I don’t know which one it is,” she said in an interview with the Daily Mail “I think the Republican Party has turned its back on America First and the workers and just regular Americans,” she said.

But since then, the U.N. says hundreds of Palestinians have been killed outside of GHF aid sites.” – Nick Schifrin and Zeba Warsi

N.Y. Post: Canada, Where “Mischief” Considered Worse than Tyranny – “According to Canada’s top prosecutors, the only thing worse than tyranny is “mischief.” And the worst possible “mischief” is objecting to tyranny. In a sentencing hearing earlier this week, the Canadian government sought a ludicrous eight-year sentence for Chris Barber, one of the leaders of the Covid “Freedom Convoy” protest that riled Ottawa in early 2022. For another leader, Tamara Lich, the Crown asked for an outlandish seven years.” – James Bovard

SITREP 8/3/25: Trump’s Sub Scare Can’t Eclipse Ukraine’s Pokrovsk Collapse – “Donald Trump claims to have parked nuclear subs closer to Russia after a tiff with fellow bronzer enthusiast Dmitry Medvedev. The Pentagon appeared to downplay his comments, replying they “defer” to his statements, which is a nice way of saying: “We didn’t move any subs, but let’s just give little Donnie his venting space.” Even war-hog John Bolton had to concede the move was a charade:” – Simplicius

Trumps Dystopian Use of Tariffs as Punishment & Blackmail – “The tariffs are no longer about building, they are about destroying, however in that wake, countries will leave the West in a Dustbowl reminiscent of the Oklahoma massive dust storms in the 1930’s that brought death to everything.” – Helena Glass

Trump’s Tariffs and those Goddamned Freeloading Europeans – “A brief primer on why the American empire exists, how it works, and Europe’s place in it. Europe has gotten a free ride for long enough and that it is time we learned to pay our way. I find it a little frustrating to read this, because in Europe it does not feel like we are getting a free ride at all. In fact it seems like the opposite: The truth is that the United States is an imperial power. Generally speaking, it does not give foreign nations free rides and it does not hand out unearned favours. There is however a lot of confusion here, because hardly anybody bothers to describe honestly the geopolitical strategy pursued by the United States or the nature of the American empire.” – .eugyppius

As distressing as that official number is, America’s true fiscal situation is even worse — far worse. According to a barely-publicized Treasury report, the actual grand total of Uncle Sam’s obligations is more than $151 trillion.” – Brian McGlinchey

 

 

 

ECONOMIC NEWS

Waiting On the 2nd ‘Grapes of Wrath’ – “The Grapes of Wrath is a tale of class warfare, and dust. But more-so, it’s a story of banks—the role banks played in perpetuating a decade of pain. In 1929 the stock market crashed and government did not allow markets to sort it out for themselves. Instead, socialist fixes (that didn’t work), were applied—causing the Depression to extend another decade—until the US industrialized to enter WW2. The FED Banking Act created the condition for banks to create currency—with the focus on quantity, a process that drives asset prices (stocks/real estate), ever upward. Like any Ponzi scheme, when upward momentum ceases, the economy ends in crisis. What’s being done to us as we are taken to the cleaners? When you sign a loan contract, that’s a debt instrument. The bank then trades that instrument for securities. There is no loan. Banks are exempt from protections offered in the client-money rule. There is no loan liability for banks—unlike non-banks with a liability to balance assets.” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

Gold, Geopolitics & the Coming Commodity Clash – “Stagflation Keeps The Fed’s Hands Tied As Trump Slings Insults (VIDEO)” – Money Metals

Powell Holds the Line – “The high stakes standoff between Fed Chair Jerome Powell and President Donald Trump is exhilarating. Trump wants Powell to cut interest rates so the U.S. government can save money on its debt financing costs. Powell wants to wait and see how tariff policies impact consumer prices before cutting – or raising – rates. If Congress really cared about the future of America, and the younger citizens whose futures are being crippled by all this debt, it would balance the budget or even run a surplus to pay down the debt. Instead, Congress is stepping on the gas as it speeds towards the fiscal cliff.” – MN Gordon

Did Trump Fire the BLS Head for Cause, Being the Messenger, or Something Else? – Mish

It’s Trump’s economy now. The latest US financial numbers offer some warning signs – “More than six months into his term, Trump’s blitz of tariff hikes and his new tax and spending bill have remodeled America’s trading, manufacturing, energy and tax systems to his own liking. He’s eager to take credit for any wins that might occur and is hunting for someone else to blame if the financial situation starts to totter.” – Josh Boak and Christopher Rugaber

Isaiah 1:7    Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

 

IMAGES FOR THE DAY ( BEING BORN SOMEWHERE DOESNT’ NECESSARILY CHANGE WHO OR WHAT YOU ARE )

 

 

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

If you smile at me I will understand
‘Cause that is something
Everybody everywhere does in the same language
I can see by your coat, my friend you’re from the other side
There’s just one thing I got to know
Can you tell me please who won?
 Say can I have some of your purple berries?
Yes, I’ve been eating them
For six or seven weeks now haven’t got sick once
Probably keep us both alive

Wooden ships on the water very free and easy
Easy, you know the way it’s supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline let us be
Talkin’ ’bout very free and easy

Horror grips us as we watch you die
All we can do is echo your anguished cries
Stare as all human feelings die
We are leaving, you don’t need us

Aaaah …
Go take your sister then by the hand
Lead her away from this foreign land
Far away where we might laugh again
We are leaving, you don’t need us

And it’s a fair wind
Blowin’ warm out of the south over my shoulder
Guess I’ll set a course and go

 ( Wooden Ships by David Crosby, Paul Kantner, and Stephen Stills )
