THE BIG PICTURE

Record honeybee deaths devastate U.S. agriculture, pesticides under scrutiny – “U.S. beekeepers report record honeybee deaths, with over 60% colony losses this winter — potentially the worst in history. Economic losses hit $139 million, honey prices rose 5%, and many beekeepers face financial ruin. While multiple factors — including parasitic varroa mites, viruses, and habitat loss—are under investigation, pesticides remain a critical concern” – Cassie B.  – IMAGINE THAT!!!!!

The Complex, State-Sponsored, Criminal Conspiracy to Commit Genocide, Depopulate Earth and Trigger an ELE Finally Blown Wide Open – “CHEMTRAILGATE A Highly Organized and Nationwide Chemical Geoengineering Operation Executed as a Stealthy Slow-Motion Poisoning of the American People” – State of the Nation

More Crap on Statin Drugs – “What’s worse, this “gold standard” of dual-drug therapy does nothing to address the cause of cardiovascular disease—it merely numbs the metrics while the fire burns on beneath the surface. Statins and ezetimibe do not touch the deeper pathology. They do not reduce arterial stiffness, restore endothelial function, or regenerate heart tissue. They suppress, silence, mask, and damage.” – Dr. Sircus

Reject The Treaty – “DEAR WORLD, PLEASE WAKE UP. It’s crunch time, but nearly everyone has been lulled into complacency. In less than two months the 78th World Health Assembly is VERY likely to adopt the Pandemic Treaty” – .James Roguski

NIH Halts Funding for COVID-19 Projects While Trump Admin Sets Stage for Next Pandemic – “COVID spending is over, but the pandemic machine is quietly shifting gears to bird flu.” – Jon Fleetwood

Real ID, Voter ID & Digital ID: The Future of American Identification. – “While MAGA celebrates Trump’s latest Executive Order as an effort to secure US elections, the reality is that EO is the latest move inching Americans closer to mandatory digital identification programs.” – Derrick Broze

Bedlam, Pending – “You understand, all these lawsuit shenanigans with select federal judges from Woke-crazed districts like Boston, San Francisco, Rhode Island, and the DC Beltway are aimed at provoking a second civil war. The objective is to burden Mr. Trump with so many restrictions on the executive that the country can’t be governed without declaring a national emergency. This is the Democratic Party’s desperate strategy to stay alive: to preserve the flow of taxpayer money to its minions stuffed into the organs of government like cancer cells, and the vast network of NGOs that employ its agents and spread its sickness. The Democratic Party is a malignancy within the republic and the money is the blood-flow that feeds it. The Democratic Party controls the major organs of information: The New York Times, CNN, Hollywood. They are the conveyers of lies, bamboozling the body politic to divide and conquer it. The Democratic party is a bad faith legion enlisted to defend the Father-of-Lies, America’s Deep State (a.k.a. the blob). ” – James Howard Kunstler

From Profanity-Chic to Terrorist-Porn – “Democrats, reeling from electoral losses, embrace profanity-laced rhetoric, street-theater activism, and veiled support for political violence, alienating voters and hastening their own decline.” – Victor Davis Hanson

A Denial of Will – “A denial of Trump’s agenda is a denial of the will of the people. The inability, or unwillingness, of the state governments to operate a faithful and accurate election is a denial of the will of the people. The act of being elected to pursue certain goals and abandoning those quests in favor of the preference of a donor or donors is a denial of the will of the people. All of these tactics, and more, are currently being used to silence a vast majority of citizens, to keep their will from being done.” – T.L. Davis

‘Signal Gate’ Is Far Worse Than People Realize – “Most of Washington is focusing on a reckless communications snafu. The real crime is far worse. What I find far more interesting is the bombshell in the Signal chats that people are not talking: the reckless disregard of civilian lives in the Pentagon’s effort to take out a single Houthi rebel. Below is a transcript of the exchange between Waltz, Hegseth, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and Vice President J.D. Vance.” – Jon Miltimore

Will Trump Pull the Self-Suicide Trigger? – “:As Trump Enters the Fray in the War to Expand Israel and Overthrow Iran, His Domestic War on the Home Front Aimed at Outlawing Criticism of Israel is Also Intensifying.” – Anthony James Hall

British PM Pledges to Ban ‘Ninja Swords’ By Summer to Curb Crime (By Migrants) – “What an interesting ancillary benefit of mass migration Kier Starmer has invented for himself — an excuse to further disarm the British people in the name of fighting mass stabbings, thereby furthering the terror they live under as, one by one, their means of self-defense are stripped away along with every other fundamental right formerly recognized in the West. The migrants currently colonizing Britain, obviously, can be expected to follow the new ban as they are infamously law-abiding individuals with a deep respect for rule of law.” – Ben Bartee

Three Goals DOGE Must Accomplish That Are Even More Important Than Spending Cuts – “If all they do is make cuts, then the return of the bloat come faster than anyone can imagine.” – JD Rucker

Zelensky Sensationally Claims ‘Putin Will Die Soon’ – “Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has revived these rumors this week, going so far as to say in an interview that Putin “will die soon” – in response to yet more unverified reports of his poor health.” – Tyler Durden

The Iran Contra Scandal and Israel – “A story of authoritarian arrogance, criminality, and Empire.” – Ohio Barbarian

Futures Slide, Gold Soars Ahead Of Inflation Data Amid Tariff Turmoil – Tyler Durden

Why do Boomers Own Everything? – ” Last week Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reported that the top 10% of Americans account for half of consumption — a new record. This 10% is, of course, overwhelmingly Baby Boomers. Who’ve spent the past 50 years having their assets pumped by the Federal Reserve while voting for big government that knocks the first rungs out of the career ladder for the young. The end result is Boomers relaxing in vacation chalets while for the young wages are flat, prices are up, and buying a house or starting a family is a pipe-dream. Instead, they lurk in Mom’s basement fantasizing about the revolution.” – Peter St Onge

How Can A City Prepper Improve Their Survival Plan? – “You’ve got your bug-out bag packed, a stash of canned goods under the bed, and maybe even a water filter tucked away in your closet.

7 “Safe” US States That Might Soon Be a Target – “States like Montana, North Dakota, Missouri, Arizona, and Idaho are generally considered to be very safe places to live. On paper, they have a modest population density, they don’t tend to be hit by too many major disasters. Since the end of the Cold War, their threat index from attacks by foreign powers seems to have gone down. Yet these five states, and a few others could become a target for future disasters. If you live in one of the following states, or you’re thinking about moving to one, it might help to take a hard look at how they might soon become a target. Always think about the safety of your family and those close to you.” – Eric Beuning

THE BIG PICTURE 

The Big Picture, Distractions, and Reality – “I often discuss the phenomenon of the blindness of most, and the lack of effort and intellect evident in order for the sheep to accept and understand the big picture, instead of concentrating on all the minutia, and all the purposeful distractions being used by those who seek to gain massive power and control over them. Globalization as seen by the maddening crowd, is but a term used by those who expose literal conspiracy (mistakenly called ‘conspiracy theorists’) about the ruling cabal, and is usually at best, glossed over or completely ignored by the vast majority of the indoctrinated and uninformed populations. This is not unusual, but is certainly detrimental to any effort to stop the onslaught of State tyranny. In the distant past, the line between fact and fiction, between perception and reality, and between the big picture and distraction was clearer, but in today’s insane technologically consumed world, everything is blurred while at the same time connected at every juncture.” – Gary D. Barnett

Let’s talk about…the JFK files released! – “”Promises made, promises kept!” is the battle cry of the MAGAs right now, but was this a promise worth keeping? Last night Donald Trump’s administration released two-thousand files, totaling over 60,000 pages, pertaining to the assassination of President John F Kennedy. You can read them all here. The files are in seemingly no order, with no index or search system, so combing through them will take a while. So far the media coverage has been exactly as you’d expect, with a quasi-religious repetition of the Official Story best exemplified by the pathetically predictable New York Times, where Adam Nagourney headlines simply: Here’s what to know. (Oswald still did it.) Propaganda so laughable you wonder if they’re really trying…and perhaps they’re not.” – Off Guardian

The truth about JFK et al – “And why “intelligence community data dumps” are never going to be what you think they are. I hate to be “kitty downer” on the JFK et al document dump, But the odds on bet is pretty simple: there will be so many fake reports and so much tinsel in this massive pile of mess that there will simply be no way to arrive at any sort of ground state truth.” – El Gato Malo

‘Small Clique Within the CIA Was Responsible for the Assassination’: JFK Files – “Suicide verdict of intelligence asset who made claim “is by no means convincing.” The files stop short of definitively confirming Underhill’s claims. But they document serious allegations from a credible intelligence insider whose death remains unexplained to this day.” – Jon Fleetwood

The Science™ Now Earnestly Pimping ‘Mental Booster Shots’ – “I’m old enough to remember when filling people’s minds with certain narratives that just happen further one’s particular interests was known as “brainwashing.” In the clinical speak of The Science™, though, brainwashing is now rebranded as “memory-focused interventions.”” – bEN bARTEE

NEWS

The Carneyvore Diet – “The important thing is Mark Carney has a huge head. I’m living in Canada and we’ve gone completely mad here. Well, our politicians have. They’ve injected into the stew of confusion, Mark Carney, a new Prime Minister whom the electorate had nothing to do with to any grand extent. I mean, it doesn’t somehow, uneasily, look at all like a democracy in action. That might be because it isn’t. But that’s the beside the point. The point is Mark Carney has a big head. I’m not saying that to be mean or anything. I’m just observing this in passing and hopefully it will help the man with his public image and all that. A different haircut maybe. You see, I noticed this when Carney, the new Prime Minister (elect? Inject?), globalist of the highest order, bankster and green zealot extraordinaire, was doing a press conference at a factory somewhere in Ontario. For those of you unfamiliar with Canada, Ontario is the only province in Canada that matters apparently because it has Toronto and Ottawa and everybody is expected to adore them. The globalists certainly do adore them. So I had to go out and compare heads. This was an easy thing to do as it turns out. You’d have thought, since newly injected, the first thing our Prime Minister would have done would be a Canadian thing like eating clams in Prince Edward Island or cutting down timber in British Columbia, but no… our new PM went off to England to have tea with King Charles. So it was as easy as pie to compare heads. There they sat across from each other all smiles and civility and green underground plotting.” – Sylvia Shawcross

Invasion of the Killer Karens – “Pit bulls for propaganda. So when I refer to “Karens,” I’m not just talking about the irrational, wide-eyed women we see regularly on viral videos. The second election of Trump really brought out the madness. There was a multitude of TikTok videos, starring unknown females, advertising their special acting chops. They were oddly fixated on their hair, with several mind boggling videos consisting of angry women shaving their heads. To piss off men. They also vowed never to have sex again, or at least as long as the Giant Orange Man was in the White House. They all encouraged this lunacy in each other. I can’t imagine being a single man today, and trying to approach women like this. It’s like getting in a cage with a tiger. They are filled with a hatred that can’t be measured. I can’t picture them being good company. We must face the fact that a shocking percentage of the female population in America has lost their sanity. I don’t know what that percentage would be, but I think a conservative estimate might be one third. ” – Donald Jeffries

Gangsters, Terrorists, and Deep State Judicial Tyranny – “The primary purpose of the federal judiciary is to make sure that anything the federal government does is almost never, ever, ruled to be unconstitutional. This is Hamilton’s constitutional regime. A believer in unlimited government, Alexander Hamilton’s constitutional belief was that the constitution can and should be used as a rubber stamp on unlimited government — as long as the government is run by “well behaved” politicians like himself, he insisted. His political nemesis, Thomas Jefferson, took the opposite view that the government needed to be “bound by the chains of the Constitution.”” – Thomas J. DiLorenzo Print this page

No ceasefire deal comes out of Trump-Putin talks, but here’s what they did agree on – “The positions of Moscow and Washington may gradually converge to the point where World War III can be avoided, but the danger is that time is not on our side.” – Leo Hohmann

A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall – from the West down to the East – “Let’s start with that phone call. The Kremlin readout is quite sober – but it does reveal a few nuggets. There is no comprehensive deal – yet – between Moscow and Washington. Far from it: we are just in the initial tentative stage of talking and talking about several interconnected dossiers. President Putin gave absolutely nothing away.” – Pepe Escobar

‘Historic’ Putin-Trump Call is Small Step for Man, but No Giant Leap for Mankind – “The long awaited discussion between Putin-Trump has finally taken place, reportedly clocking in at a historic two-and-a-half hours, which according to some sources is the longest call between an American and Russian president since at least the Cold War. As expected, it was another nothing-burger, with Putin essentially repeating precisely the same talking points as have already been conveyed time and again to the US, most recently during Witkoff’s Moscow visit last week.” – Simplicius

From America First to Israel First – “Starting with the battle ground of American universities, Trump is preparing the Ground for a US-led invasion of Iran” – Anthony James Hall

Trump Positions US Military for Imminent War with Iran – “This week’s moves look definitive. All-out war against Iran’s nuclear facilities has moved up to the near horizon and is really already beginning.” – David Haggith

Exposing Britain’s Covert War On Yemen – “Yet, Western news outlets have either omitted, or downplayed, Britain’s role in the latest burst of belligerence targeting Yemen. After all, a mass media omertà on Britain’s central – if not leading – role in the West’s long-running collective effort to crush AnsarAllah has effectively been in place ever since the Yemeni civil war erupted in late 2014. This is despite ample open source evidence” – Kit Klarenberg

John ‘Paddy’ Hemingway: Last surviving Battle of Britain pilot dies aged 105 – “John Hemingway never saw his role in the Battle of Britain as “anything other than doing the job he was trained to do,” the RAF said, adding “his courage in the face of overwhelming odds demonstrated his sense of duty and the importance of British resilience”.” – Sky News

And they wonder why no one trusts them anymore – “Once upon a time, people trusted the media. When someone was questioned about where they got some fact, just responding, “I heard it on the news,” was enough to silence criticism. I’m not saying the media was more trustworthy, mind you, only that they had that trust. They don’t anymore. More and more people distrust the mainstream media, and the media seems to be at a loss for why. t started ages ago, but it ramped up during Trump’s first term when they decided it was their duty to make sure Trump was a one-term president. They stopped even pretending, and it just got worse. This week, we had a couple of grand examples of it. ” – Tom Knighton

Obama Judge Rules Against DOGE Shutdown Of USAID, Orders Employee Access Reinstated – “Who’s in charge around here? In the latest legal turn of events – since the United States is now governed by activist judges, an Obama-appointed federal judge on Tuesday found that Elon Musk and DOGE likely violated the constitution when it shut down deep state slush fund USAID, and has ordered them to restore access for current (remaining) employees.” -Tyler Durden

Goldman Sachs has dubbed copper “the new oil” due to its essential role in clean energy technologies,” – Jesse Colombo

The Economy of Denial: Addiction, Extortion, Deception – ” Since discipline and will power are the highly valued engines of accomplishment, we view addicts with disdain, for their emotional craving for immediate comfort and solace has overwhelmed their rational will. This is why saying that we’re addicted to our phones, social media, snacks, junk food, fast food, novelty, selfies, entertainment, the endless scroll of “news” and all things “money” is so disquieting, as all of these addictions have been normalized. Since “everyone does it,” it can’t be an addiction, right?” – Charles Hugh Smith

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

How To Become A Climate-Resilient Survivalist – “Climate-resilient survival means preparing for long-term, unpredictable shifts in weather patterns, food systems, and even societal stability. Think droughts that last years, floods that wipe out entire regions, or heatwaves that make it dangerous to step outside. Here’s the thing: being climate-resilient isn’t just about having the right gear (though that helps). It’s about mindset, adaptability, and understanding the interconnections of our world.” – Bob Rodgers

Did you know that throughout the Civil War, some Confederate troops were so desperate for food that they traded captured Union soldiers for canned peaches and coffee?” – Elizabeth Grant

THE BIG PICTURE 

The Times, They Aren’t Changin’ – “Thoughts on Sunday’s New York Times’ half-assed Covid mea culpa op-ed. Imagine my surprise when, Sunday, I read a New York Times editorial admitting that “We Were Badly Misled” about Covid as it was happening. Yes, we were badly misled. Serious shit, right? I want to paint murals on the sides of their corporate offices, reminding them in big letters that like many others, I was forced into a position of being stuck between required travel and getting vaccinated at one point. Even worse, I was accosted by power hungry hipsters who demanded a vaccination card just for ordering a beer. And I got off easy. Others lost bank accounts, jobs and sadly, family members.” – Quoth the Raven

Black community in Ohio forms safety program after neo-Nazi rally (VIDEO) – “In the majority Black village of Lincoln Heights, Ohio civilians have formed an armed patrol group to protect their neighborhood after neo-Nazis carrying rifles and shouting racial slurs held a rally there last month. NBC News’ Morgan Radford reports.” – MSNBC

Alleged Nazis (Likely Feds) Stage Tiny Protest, Armed Black Militias Now Patrol – “As we’ve seen over and over, all it takes for the corporate media to incite a race war is a less than a dozen (probably fed) Nazis to show up on an overpass and wave a few Swastikas around. You’ll notice that, in the above framing by NBC, the “news” story begins with a human-interest profile of a person with a name, Jay, who is fighting hard to keep his neighborhood safe. Now consider this: would NBC ever, in a thousand years, begin a story about armed white militias patrolling their streets to keep them safe from black criminals in such a sympathetic manner? Such is the subtle manipulation that goes into these propaganda productions.” – Ben Bartee

“Hate Speech” Cannot Be Prohibited in a Democracy The term is an authoritarian tool for censorship, and that’s all it is” – Ohio Barbarian

Covid Redux: The Bird Flu Scare – “Instead of directly targeting humans, our food is the focus for the creation and mandating of ineffective vaccines — it stands to devastate our food supply, and cause mass starvation.” – Janet Levy

Why Did Government Shut Down Cellphone Radiation Studies? Email Trail Leads to More Questions Than Answers – Suzanne Burdick, Ph.D.

Here Come the Chaos Monkeys – “The Chaos Monkeys are so masterful at distracting and confusing us with sensory-digital overload, we’re not even aware of the game until the extortion begins. Here’s how the extortion works in the larger world: you buy an accounting software program, and over the years you dutifully upgrade it from time to time, storing all your financial data in the program. Enter the Chaos Monkeys: you can no longer buy the software, now you must rent it via a monthly subscription. Wait–did you just grab my data, and are extorting me to pay you to get it back? Yes.” – Charles Hugh Smith – KIND OF LIKE MICROSOFT DOES WITH MICROSOFT 365. I ORIGINALLY HAD IT ON MY COMPUTER THEN IT WENT TO HAVING TO PAY FOR IT YEARLY WITH PRICE INCREASES THAT ARE OUTRAGEOUS WHENEVER THEY FEEL LIKE IT!!!

NEWS

Welcome to FAFO-Land – “It’s as simple as this: the orgy of judicial lawfare put on by blob-adjacent Democratic Party seditionists trying to make the USA ungovernable is looking to get swatted. Hubris is a harsh mistress, but Nemesis is more like the gods’ re-po man, and he comes to the door with attitude, meaning bidness. Blob judges will get flushed out of their humid conclaves naked and find themselves, astoundingly, in the FO zone of FAFO-land. Do you think AG Bondi is playing tiddlywinks in Main Justice or that Kash Patel is just sitting there buffing his nails over at 935 Pennsylvania Avenue NW? Where did we get the idea that federal judges can just act with impunity, jerking around the public interest like some show-off with a yoyo?” – James Howard Kunstler

What Are the Left’s Solutions for the Problems They Created? – “The U.S. faces mounting trade deficits, immigration crises, and endless foreign wars, while critics of Trump’s policies offer no viable alternatives to Biden-era failures.” – Victor Davis Hanson

The Death of Free Speech in America? – “You can thank Israel and its many friends” – Philip Giraldi

The Zionists Within – “Trump seems to have thought this through during his four years playing golf at Mar-a–Lago. He returned to the White House two months ago this week with a full-dress plan to get done what he couldn’t first time around. And now look. Donald Trump the subverted, we have to conclude, was better than Donald Trump the empowered. Who’d’a thunk it?  With the Israelis Trump is not floundering. He is picking up just where his genocidal predecessor left off and so getting done exactly what he wants. The two of them are just the same as they face “the Jewish state.” Just as Joe Biden was, Trump is acutely careful never to put a foot wrong with the Zionists. ” – Patrick Lawrence

What did Joe know? An interesting wedge issue on presidential power. Trump came out this morning claiming that the 11th hour Biden pardons are illegitimate because they were signed by autopen and “Joe did not know.” I suspect this will be very difficult, possibly impossible to prove. proving that “Joe did not know” is basically proving a negative. If he says he did, this isn’t going anywhere. of course, If he says he didn’t know and Joe wants to take a shot at BO and his team, well, that’s another matter, and therein lies the rub.” – El Gato Malo

Pentagon Says Operations ‘Continue’ Overnight Against Yemen’s Houthis – “When you’ve lost the hawkish FoxCon pundit Ann Coulter… “Why did we have to do this? Is it part of our constitution that we must be bombing someone at all times?”” – Tyler Durden

Trump Bombs Yemen – “Trump said the US will use “lethal force until we have achieved our objective.” What is OUR objective? Who is this OUR?” – Sage Hana

Trump Is Bombing Yemen For Israel – “Trump is bombing Yemen for Israel, rushing weapons to Israel despite its flagrant ceasefire violations, and rolling out authoritarian measure after authoritarian measure to stop Americans from criticizing Israel. Because that’s what you get when you vote for America First.” – Caitlin Johnstone  – MORE MIGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now Is The Perfect Time For Russia To Work Towards Restoring South Yemeni Independence – “Russia’s interests in investing the diplomatic resources that mediation would require are to raise its global prestige, reinforce its excellent ties with all six stakeholders while strengthening ties with the US, and securing investment opportunities and likely also a naval base in a revived South Yemen.” – Andrew Korybko

Trump’s Fake Ukraine “Peace Deal” Is a Betrayal of Russia and a Setup for More War – Dr. Sircus

A Businessman and a Brilliant Strategist – “Anybody with a connection to the world of business or the armed forces recognizes in Trump certain qualities that successful CEOs and battle-hardened commanders often possess: a penchant for plain speaking, a no-nonsense attitude, and a steady focus on the larger mission. Don’t get me wrong; President Trump might just be the funniest, most entertaining man to ever hold the office. But he uses humor strategically. With a single rhetorical jab, he lifts friends up and destroys enemies. His humor is particularly effective because he pulls no punches. He paints and demolishes targets in quick succession. Before his opponents regain their balance, Trump has already changed directions and readied another attack.” – J.B. Shurk

Heating up: Newsom, Pritzker, Buttigieg make early moves in 2028 presidential race – “It may seen a long way away, but the initial moves in the 2028 White House race have begun – Paul Steinhauser – TALK ABOUT THE THREE STOOGES, COULD THE CHOICES GET ANY WORSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Biden admitted that America had been planning to blitz-nuke The Kremlin. – “Here is from the transcript by MSNBC, of their broadcast on 17 January 2025 of President Joe Biden’s final interview (which was the prior day, by the Democrat Lawrence O’Donnell, on his “The Last Word” show) — it included one of the decrepit Biden’s ever-increasing number of unintentional slip-ups saying the truth that he never had intentionally revealed during his prior and less-decrepit period (and, of course, his interviewer, this Democrat, O’Donnell, simply ignored what the President had just said, instead of diving into it so as to perhaps get more details about this crucially important matter):” – Eric Zuesse

Boots-on-Ground Theater Conceals Raging Impotence of Toothless Euro-Prats – “We’re starting to glimpse the contours of the European deep state plan to stop Russia from taking over Ukraine. Macron and Starmer are now desperate to push through the ‘boots-on-ground’ initiative in a deliberately obfuscating way. They are haranguing about it like it’s something meant to occur only at such time that an agreement on the conflict’s full cessation is reached. But in reality, it increasingly looks like they mean to jam through the troops at the earliest opportune moment, in order to ‘checkmate’ Russia from being able to advance any further.” – Simplicius

Zelensky’s Chaos: Behind the Fog of the Ukraine War – “The Ukraine War is an engineered conflict, that allows BlackRock and the WEF to privatize Ukraine and turn it into a post-national corporate state.” – 009

Futures Fall After Bessent Says “Not Worried” By Slide In US Stocks – Tyler Durden

The Endlessness of a Temporary Tax – “Governments regularly claim that they favour tax reform. When this claim has been repeated so many times that virtually no one believes them anymore, they announce a tax reform, to show that they really mean it. They then reshuffle the existing taxes to give the appearance that taxation will actually be lowered. When it becomes apparent that the reform is a sham, they often pull a rabbit out of a hat in the form of a “temporary” tax, that’s pre-legislated to end sometime in the future. Sounds promising. So, let’s have a look at one such temporary tax and see how things worked out.” – Jeff Thomas

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

The Realities Of Prepping Alone- “I’ve said it before and I will say it again, prepping is often romanticized. You see it in movies, books, and even social media—groups of people banding together, building fortresses, and surviving the apocalypse as a team. But what if you’re going it alone? The truth is, prepping solo is a whole different ballgame.” – Bob Rodgers

When This Happens, The Economic Collapse Will Begin – “The warning signs are there, but most people ignore them until it’s too late. Rising debt levels, stock market instability, and growing social unrest are all flashing red signals that an economic meltdown is looming closer than we’d like to think. We will break down these key indicators so you can recognize the danger and take action before it’s too late.” – Matt

‘If You Can’t Touch It, You Don’t Own it (SQ): Precious Metals Are A Must When Prepping For Disaster, Especially One of A Financial Nature (Part 1) – “When I read about prepping for disaster, especially of a financial nature, one of the suggestions is to invest in precious metals. The metals themselves, not certificates. Gold and silver are mentioned as the best metals to collect. Whether you collect these metals through having jewelry, coinage, or simply the unrefined metal ore seems to not matter as long as it is something you have “in hand”. A Brief history of Gold as currency” – S.E. Gunn PhD

THE BIG PICTURE

America: Gone Forever – “There is no return from what’s happening I didn’t write this. But it was too good not to share. It explains why the concept of America is almost, if not already, dead. Assuming there’s a 2028 election, there’s no fixing the damage to America’s internal capabilities and international standing. Here’s the full commentary” – Reddit user r/Some-band2225 via Sarah Connor  – THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST READ. PROBABLY MORE SO THAN ANYTHING I’VE LINKED IN MONTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Controlled Demolition of the U.S. Is Fully Underway While Saturated in a ‘WrestleMania’ Environment – “It is interesting to note the huge paradigm shift that has been evident, and is still constantly ongoing, during this time of worship for the evil and deceitful Trump and his dictatorial and Israeli worshipping administration. At this point, rule is by aggressive executive orders handed down from on high by Trump, the self-described choice as ‘god;’ and one who is ‘supposedly’ above all others. The ludicrous nature of such a belief by the controlled poser Trump, is telling of any number of gross human faults overlooked by the idiocy on the political right, including most all so-called ‘libertarians,’ who at this point have turned their lives over to a totally tyrannical president, and an inside member of the technocratic new world order. Trump promised to end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours of his taking office. This of course was a blatant boast and lie. How could he simply make such an arrogant statement to end war in other countries, and one in which the U.S. is the protagonist and primary cause of all the turmoil?” – Gary D. Barnett

Why aren’t people interested in facts anymore? – “Has it always this way? Lessons from the Tower of Babel, and an open thread…” – Rebekah Barnett

RFK Jr. Announces HHS Mission to End… Anti-Semitism? – ““Anti-Semitism – like racism – is a spiritual and moral malady that sickens societies and kills people with lethalities comparable to history’s most deadly plagues,” wrote Kennedy in an announcement on Monday evening,” – Charlie Nash – ENDING ANTI-SEMITISM AND BACKING VACCINES. JUST WHAT EVERYBODY THOUGHT HE WOULD DO. GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

From “Defending” Children’s Health to Destroying It: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Now Recommends MMR Vaccine After Years of Condemning It – Brian Shilhavy

RFK Jr. Backs Measles Vaccine Without Explaining Recent Outbreak Followed Free MMR Jab Campaign – “Fails to mention measles jab contains live virus created through gain-of-function engineering subject to bioweapons rules.” – Jon Fleetwood

Kennedy and the ‘measles outbreak’: betrayer, hero, politician? – “Kennedy’s statements in his recent FOX op-ed have caused an explosion of controversy among his supporters.” – Jon Rappoport

MEASLES PLANDEMIC UNDER WAY: Fake news across America warning “unvaccinated children” hospitalized and dying from measles outbreak in Texas – “According to Big Pharma and fake news everywhere, the only way to ever survive any infectious disease is to get a deadly vaccine for it, or else. Vaccine fanatics everywhere get toxic jabs every time they hear about any person anywhere in their region catching any infectious disease, and the news is always quick to blame unvaccinated people for spreading it. Here’s the actual truth of the matter, though.” – S.D. Wells

Russia’s “model town” to fast-track biometrics and digital ruble in local economy – “Sirius, a municipality near Sochi billed as “the future of Russia”, will accelerate “digital transformation” in markets and restaurants” – Edward Slavsquat / Riley Waggaman

 

 

 

NEWS

Flushing a Zelensky – “To see that effronterous dwarf publicly put in his place by the president of the United States was a soothing salve for the past four years of endless blue-and-yellow flag-humping by “Americans” – if you want to use that word – including the former president of the United States, who had much in common with the effronterous dwarf in that the latter wasn’t really elected, either. Strange about those missing 8 million or so votes during the last election. It’s more than just some savory revenge-at-a-distance, too. The effronterous dwarf was put on notice that Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevvvv is no longer like what “masking” was back in 2021 – i.e., something everyone was expected to pretend was of the highest moral significance.” – Eric Peters

US and Ukraine prepare to sign minerals deal on Tuesday, sources say – Erin Banco, Gram Slattery and Andrea Shalal

DOGE, The Epstein List, and World War III – “WWE theater front and center. I have criticized Donald Trump countless times for his pattern of promising, bloviating, then backing off. Or more often flip flopping. I coined the term the Trumpenstein Project to explain his befuddling behavior. He talked the talk, but never walked the walk. All toupee and no cattle. Well, now he can’t stop walking. Trump 2.0 has unleashed a series of often fine looking executive orders in his first month back in office. Super model executive orders. In thirty days, really on his first day back in office, Trump did more than he did in his previous four years in the White House. A few days ago, Trump staged (and it was definitely staged) the most remarkable meeting with a foreign leader that Washington, D.C. has ever seen. Those who somehow thought this cartoonish Bullwinkle villain in a black sweat suit, who refuses to consider a ceasefire or stop sacrificing his people in a hopeless cause, was the good guy, were reaffirming their commitment to war. Zelenskyy appears to want World War III. So does the entire American “Woke” Left. Nuclear weapons are so cool now! No Nukes? ” – Donald Jeffries

Unhinged Democrats Plan to Disrupt Trump’s Speech to Congress – Jeff Charles

Trump Halts All Military Aid To Ukraine As Zelensky Feud Intensifies: Report – “For now this is only the usual anonymous official, and while it could be premature (as meetings “mulling” a stoppage take place), it sure looks like that’s where things are headed. “The official said all US military equipment not currently in Ukraine would be paused, including weapons in transit on aircraft and ships or waiting in transit areas in Poland,” the report notes further. If so, this marks a monumental shift in Washington policy over the last three years of war in Eastern Europe.” – Tyler Durden

Keir Starmer’s Coalition of the wimpering European elites are pushing for a war they are not prepared to fight against an enemy they cannot defeat without pushing the world to the edge of nuclear armageddon. At that point, all bets are off.” – Leo Hohmann

The EU Tries to Play a Losing Hand Just Like Zelensky’s – “As tensions rise between the European Union and the United States over potential trade tariffs, the EU’s threats of retaliation reveal more about its vulnerabilities than its strength.” – Phil Butler

Why world leaders are desperately holding onto Ukraine – “Well, there are multiple reasons, and all of them are more absurd than one would assume. To start with, one must consider the current rhetoric being espoused to justify prolonged involvement in the conflict. This is rhetoric, not reality, but it is still worth noting.” – Winston Smith  – LONG READ BUT VERY GOOD ANALYSIS, WHICH MOST WON’T TAKE THE TIME TO DIGEST. IF PEOPLE CAN’T GET THE ANSWERS THEY WANT IN A MINUTE READ THEY TEND TO MOVE ON!!!

Greed-War – “Will Pentagon Spending Ever Decrease?” – Bill Astore

Only the Defense Department’s budget will NOT be cut. – “60% of U.S. military expenses get paid out from the Defense Department (the Pentagon), which is the only U.S. federal Department that has never passed an audit — never been audited — and is also the only federal Department that pays America’s military-weapons manufacturers, such as Lockheed Martin — the companies that depend mainly or even entirely on purchases by the federal Government. The Trump Administration has decided not to cut that Department’s budget, and might even increase it. ” – Eric Zuesse

THIS IS WAR… EXPECT SURGING PRICES, RAPID ECONOMIC DECLINE, SUPPLY CHAIN DISRUPTIONS. (VIDEO) – Gregory Mannarino

Chaos is Creating its Own Costs – “The market fell again, plunging over 600 points on the Dow with the S&P 500 posting its largest loss since December. And the reason is the culprit I’ve been saying we’d get a lot of trouble from since making my 2025 economic predictions—tariffs. Trump made clear today that there is no chance now of Mexico and Canada avoiding tariffs. The market immediately nosedived. Of course, I would not be the least bit surprised to hear him say on Wednesday, when the tariffs are supposed to come into play, “Canada and Mexico just surprised me by giving me everything we were asking for; so, of course we’ll not impose the tariffs.” However, just these erratic statements about major economic changes are, themselves, a cause of major negative economic changes.” – David Haggith

A Global Trade War Has Started – Global Recession Will Follow – “The most significant global trade war since Smoot-Hawley and the Great Depression is underway.” – Mish

The Crypto Reserve is Just Another Bailout (VIDEO) – “Trump’s play would be obviously illegal in other contexts. Peter argues that while traditional stock manipulation would be met with harsh penalties, crypto manipulation remains in a legal gray area:” – Peter Schiff

The Ultimate Survival Knife: How to Pick the Right One – “The knife is the most basic tool ever created. As such, it is also the most basic piece of survival gear we can carry. This magnifies the importance of making a good decision on the knife or knives you’re going to carry. The last thing you need, in any survival situation, is to have your tools breaking on you, especially your knife. I understand having to save money wherever you can, but buying a cheap knife isn’t the place to cut costs.” – Bill White  – ALWAYS LINK GOOD KNIFE ARTICLES. HERE’S ONE FROM BILL!!!

Wild Gardening: Letting Nature Lead the Way – “A wild garden is an unusual arrangement of indigenous wild plants that mimics the appearance and feeling of plants in nature. Wild gardens are usually planned and planted in backyards and often require less maintenance than traditional gardens. The idea is to support and nurture a natural and diverse ecosystem. It’s also designed to attract beneficial insects and wildlife.” – Heidi Hawthorn

THE BIG PICTURE

Do We Do Well To Be Angry? – “We want—or at least we say we want—a world where consequence is meted out in just measure for the actions taken. We want—or at least we say we want—a world where the people who do bad things come to bad ends, and the people who do good things come to good ends. We want—or at least we say we want—a world where we see the bad people coming to bad ends, and where we see the good people coming to good ends. For most people, such outcomes broadly fit our notions of fairness and justice. How should we apprehend the reality that, in this world, many people who do bad things do not come to bad ends, or at least are not seen as coming to bad ends? How are such outcomes fair? How are such outcomes just? We do not do well to be angry. We cannot help but be angry. Yet if we are wise even when we are angry, we may yet manage to somehow choose well, and therefore do well.” – Peter Nayland Kust

When Should You Give Up? (VIDEO) – Bjorn Andreas Bull-Hansen – ANOTHER GOOD ONE FROM BJORN!!!

The Deep Church Trafficks Children and Pollutes Christianity – “92% of us believe in a soul, God, an Infinite Eternal Intelligence. Our ruined churches work to destroy that faith. But religion, faith, will not go away. The U.S. was founded on Christianity. Not on “democracy”, nor on the Iroquois version of confederacy, nor on the idea of a Republic. Christianity first. Then a Republic.” – Elizabeth Nickson  – GOOD READ FROM ELIZABETH!!!

Experimental evidence the Rapid Antigen Tests are fraudulent. – “Pepsi Zero Sugar testing positive for “Sars Cov 2” and “Influenza A & B” for specific antigens that cannot possibly be in there.” – Jamie Andrews

Study of 9 Million Confirms Covid ‘Vaccines’ Cause AIDS – “The bombshell study has sent shockwaves through the medical and scientific communities after researchers concluded that Covid mRNA shots have caused a global surge in cases of vaccine-acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (VAIDS). The study has debunked claims from the corporate media and so-called “fact-checkers” that previously dismissed reports of VAIDS as “conspiracy theories.”” – Frank Bergman

Geoengineering Watch Global Alert News, March 1, 2025, (VIDEO) – “Weather whiplash expected for millions across US with some places seeing 90-degree temperature swing” – Dane Wigington

Human Augmentation Is Self Spreading Nanotechnology. “Natural Human Colonies” Will Be Cross Contaminated By Geoengineering And Shedding. Military Nanoweapons Of Mass Destruction Are Here Today – “Natural humans are running out of time. The nanorobots are in everyone – via vaccination, shedding, smart dust from geoengineering, food, water. If people would only look at the blood you can see the evidence in everyone.” – Ana Maria Mihalcea, MD, PhD

NEWS

The Turnaround – “The best way to understand Trump is also the simplest: he’s a businessman. From that perspective, little of what he’s doing is as inexplicable or surprising as many make it out to be. The inexplicability arises from general ignorance of business. Trump is now CEO of the federal government. That enterprise has over $36 trillion in direct liabilities and unfunded liabilities in the hundreds of trillions. Its cost of credit is rising and debt service is taking an ever-expanding share of its revenues. Self evidently, it cannot continue on its present course. Businesspeople who throw good money after bad go bankrupt. They don’t have fiat money or tax dollars to perpetuate their mistakes. Trump’s not going to throw more money down the Ukrainian rathole.” – Robert Gore

Trump has no idea where most of the Ukraine aid went – and honestly, who does? – “Throwing billions upon billions of cash at Kiev turned out to be such a massive scam no one seems to even know the exact amount” – Rachel Marsden

Hard truths about the Trump-Zelensky-Vance Oval Office blow-up – “The public spectacle doesn’t change the fact that the war needs to end soon” – Anatol Lieven and George Beebe

Zelenskyy let his pain get in the way of the people’s peace. – Kaizen D. Asiedu on X  – HAT TIP TO BERT POWERS ( JOHN BARLEYCORN ) ON THIS ONE!!!

The pro-war lobby in the West needs to come up with new ideas, rather than saying the same old things – “President Trump has advanced a new policy proposition that engagement and dialogue is vital if we are to bring an end to the fighting.” – Ian Proud

The Trump-v.-Zelensky Comedy Show, and Why I Still Expect Russia to Win and Take Ukraine From the U.S. – “This is a commentary upon the… dispute that took place in the White House on February 28th between Donald Trump and Volodmyr Zelensky (who knows that the 2014 overthrow and replacement of Ukraine’s democratically elected President Viktor Yanukovych was illegal and that all subsequent Ukrainian leaders including himself are illegal and even unConstitutional (though he doesn’t know how it happened — he doesn’t know that the U.S. Government arranged it).” – Eric Zuesse

Lindsey Graham: Human Weathervane – “His Sudden, Mysterious About Face On Zelensky Interpreted By Tucker Carlson” – Celia Farber  – WEATHERVANE! PERFECT. COULDN’T DESCRIBE GRAHAM ANY BETTER THAN CELIA DID.  OR AS ONE COMMENTER SAID, WORMTONGUE FROM THE LORD OF THE RINGS, WHICH IS AN EXCELLENT ANALOGY OF GRAHAM AS WELL!!!!

If Trump Won’t Sic DOGE on the Federal Reserve, What Is the Point? – “Presidents come and go. Some die in office; some retire into the lap of luxury and build monuments to their own greatness using public money; some get shot in the head by magic bullets. However, they go out, they leave after four or eight years. Presidents are temporary; the Fed is permanent. It’s also entirely beyond any democratic accountability whatsoever — a fact we, ironically, never hear a peep of protestation about from the self-professed Guardians of Democracy™ on the left.” – Ben Bartee

DOGE Is Uncovering Corruption That Would Make Tammany Hall Bosses Blush – “A $2 billion government payment to a company with $100 in revenue? It’s almost too hard to believe.” – Jon Miltimore

Elon Musk and China – “Musk owns companies, he’s global. Well… In 2019, he opened a very big Tesla factory in Shanghai. Last time I looked, that’s in China. While doing MAJOR biz in China, with special favors. He’s an American Firster, with deep connections in China. Does that coupling sound a bit odd?” – Jon Rappoport

Reflections from the Heart of the Empire: Freaks and Fubbery – Ohio Barbarian  -THE BARBARIAN’S WEEKLY UPDATE!!

Europe is Falling & Needs War with Russia (VIDEO) with Martin Armstrong – “Why? Because they all are facing the collapse of the European Union. The debt is just unbelievable. They never consolidated. Between Covid, Climate Change and sanctions on Russia, the German economy has shrunk . . . 3% to 5%. The economic growth (of the EU) is appalling. Europe is falling, and this is why they need war. So, they are backing Zelensky.” – Greg Hunter

Six reasons to go buy a gun – “Roy from the Paul Harrell channel recently produced a short video with very good advice entitled ‘Go Buy A Gun.’ As he outlines in the video, you will want to check with local laws and seek out help if you’re not experienced in such matters. And we have six solid reasons to ‘pull the trigger’ (pardon the pun) on gun ownership.” – D. Parker

Gun Owners Take DC Magazine Restrictions To Supreme Court – “The days of tyrannical elites restricting ‘We the People’ from exercising our God-given rights to self-defense must come to an end,” – Matthew Vadum

Trump Bypasses Congress with Executive Order to Send $3 BILLION in Bombs and Weapons to Israel to Expand War in West Bank – “Once again, President Trump showed that he is ruling the U.S. like a king instead of an elected representative of the people, as he issued another “emergency” executive order and bypassed Congress to send $3 billion in weapons to Israel,” – Brian Shilhavy

Israel Blocks All Humanitarian Aid To Gaza As Ceasefire Could Collapse – “Netanyahu’s office said Sunday that “the entry of all goods and supplies to the Gaza Strip will be halted” – warning that this is due to Hamas rejecting the continuation of peace talks proposed by US special envoy Steve Witkoff.” – Tyler Durden

The Zionist ‘loot unit’ strips Gaza, south Lebanon and Syria of weapons and valuables – “As if genocide is not enough, the Zionist piracy is incorporated into the military” – Vanessa Beeley – OBVIOUSLY NOTHING TO DO WITH SO-CALLED GREATER ISRAEL. THIS IS AKIN TO PIRATES PLUNDERING. YET PEOPLE CONTINUE TO FALL FOR THIS!!!!!!

Why’s Israel Reportedly Lobbying The US To Keep Russia’s Bases In Syria? – “” – “Israel knows which way the wind is blowing and will therefore do whatever is needed to ensure that its interests are safeguarded by key players in the global systemic transition.” – Andrew Korybko

ECONOMIC NEWS

MARKETS A LOOK AHEAD (ALERT): US DEBT CRISIS IS RAPIDLY WORSENING. THE ECONOMY IS FAILING (VIDEO) – Gregory Mannarino

Walmart CEO Warns Food Prices Are Causing ‘Frustration and Pain’ – “The chief executive officer of Walmart Inc. said American consumers are showing signs of stress as food prices remain stubbornly high. Some shoppers are running out of money before the end of the month and turning to smaller pack sizes for consumer goods,” – Jaewon Kang

Lower Government Spending Will Not Weaken the US Economy. It Will Strengthen It. – “The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta’s GDPNow model projection for real GDP growth in the first quarter of 2025 (Q1 2025) is now showing a slump to -1.5%. This marks a significant downward revision from the previous estimate of 2.3% on February 19, 2025. Such an enormous decline is strange. How did we go from +2.3% to -1.5% in less than a month? That kind of collapse in an economy as large as the United States is exceedingly rare. The immediate reaction from the media is to call this the beginning of a “Trump recession” and blame it on President Trump’s policies. Many analysts are warning that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) efforts will cause a recession if government spending is aggressively reduced. However, cutting spending may “reduce” GDP but does not harm productive economic growth; it will likely strengthen it.” – Daniel Lacalle

Crypto Is Crashing. Oh Dear. How Sad. What A Shame. Never Mind – ““If you are looking for sympathy try a dictionary; between sh*t and syphilis.” Crypto looks to be in Free Fall. If it previous crashes are any guide, it will fall between 70 and 80% before it stages yet another improbable recovery, or will it? There is so much noise, manipulation and outright shysterism around Crypto it makes little sense to risk playing the greater fool and buying falling knives. That doesn’t mean you can’t still trade the market’s gullibility!” – Bill Blain.

BRICS vs Trump: Whose the Real “Sucker”? (VIDEO)- “Matthew Piepenburg joined Jay Martin, Andy Schechtman, and Taylor Kenny at the recent VRIC conference in Vancouver, Canada, to discuss the rising tensions between the new Trump administration and the BRICS+ coalition.” – Matthew Piepenburg

Undervalued silver poised for explosive move higher – “Spot silver gained 27% in 2024. The white metal benefited mostly from physical buying in India and China. Silver ETFs have also been a factor. Silver, like gold, is a precious metal that offers investors protection during times of economic and political uncertainty. However, much of silver’s value is derived from its industrial demand. It’s estimated around 60% of silver is utilized in industrial applications, like solar and electronics, leaving only 40% for investing.” – Richard Mills

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

Well Mr. Churchill says, Mr. Churchill says
We gotta fight the bloody battle to the very end
Mr. Beaverbrook says we gotta save our tin
And all the garden gates and empty cans are gonna make us win

We shall defend our island
On the land and on the sea
We shall fight them on the beaches
On the hills and in the fields
We shall fight them in the streets
Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed to so few
‘Cause they have made our British Empire
A better place for me and you
And this was their finest hour

Well Mr. Montgomery says and Mr. Mountbatten says
We gotta fight the bloody battle to the very end
As Vera Lynn would say, we’ll meet again someday
But all the sacrifices we must make before the end

Did you hear that plane flying overhead?
There’s a house on fire and there’s someone lying dead
We gotta clean up the streets
And get me back on my feet
Because we wanna be free
Do your worst and we’ll do our best
We’re gonna win the way that Mr. Churchill says
Oh-oh! Oh!-oh! Oh-oh!

Well Mr. Churchill says, we gotta hold up our chins
We gotta show some courage and some discipline
We gotta black up the windows and nail up the doors
And keep right on ’til the end of the war

( Mr. Churchill Says – Ray Davies / Kinks )
