THE BIG PICTURE

Trump is helping the Zionists to destroy Islam – “There are four great religions in the world. They are by numbers of believers, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. Christianity, the largest world religion, has more or less been destroyed. The original purpose of Christianity was to save one’s soul. The liberals turned Christianity into an agent of social reform. But Zionists turned evangelical Christians into Christian Zionists who seem to confuse Israel with God. The Israel Lobby used, and perhaps manipulated, the Catholic priest pedophile saga to destroy the influence of the Pope and the Catholic Church. Christians are routinely murdered by Israel and nothing whatsoever is done about it. Murdering a Christian has become no different from running over an animal in the road. Trump, being essentially Netanyahu’s puppet, doesn’t realize that he is letting Zionists use America to destroy the Islamic religion.” – Paul Craig Roberts

The Sound of Trumpets – “The US at war (again) as the mainstream media disgraces itself (again)… Do you hear the trumpets sounding, dear reader, bright and bold and brassy? From South America to the Middle East, Caracas to Tehran, a weary world awakens to the shocking might of an empire in full military stride, wondering where its “epic fury” might be directed next. Besides the aforementioned campaigns, Trump II has sent forth a chorus of bombs and drones to strike at scoundrels in Somalia, Iraq, Yemen, Syria and Nigeria. Inquiring minds may wish to ask: Is this what “America First” looks like?” – Joel Bowman

How Washington keeps breaking the Middle East – “The killing of Iran’s leadership has intensified tensions across the Middle East, reviving debate over decades of US intervention – from coups and regime change to wars that reshaped the region” – RT  – A LITTLE HISTORY LESSON, VERY GOOD READ. TELLS YOU WHAT THE REAL INTENTIONS ARE. ALSO WATCH GREG’S VIDEO BELOW!!!

Blowback of Piracy (VIDEO) – “In 1901, a 60-year lease of 500,000 square miles in Persia was bought by a British millionaire. With the support of the British government, this area, known for having oil seeps since antiquity, was surveyed for oil deposits by British explorers. On May 26, 1908, British explorers struck oil in Masjid-i-Suleiman. In 1909, the Anglo-Persian Oil Company was founded. In 1911, Winston Churchill converted the Royal Navy from coal to oil, and in 1914, the British government bought 51% of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company. Persia was now strategically vital to the British Empire.” – Greg Reese  -THE ANGLO -PERSIAN OIL COMPANY LATER BECAME BRITISH PETROLEUM  OR BP WHICH LATER MERGED WITH AMOCO AND IS THE 9TH LARGEST OIL COMPANY BY MARKET CAPITALISATION. FUNNY HOW OIL SEEMS TO BE INVOLVED IN ALL THESE CONFLICTS!!!!

An Encore for American Heroes from The State of the Union -“Trump recognized America’s best citizens to remind us what we are fighting for – let’s highlight their full stories. The real stars of the State of the Union were the Americans highlighted in the president’s gallery. Whoever curated the invitations deserves a medal. Each honoree represented the best of us and the deadly consequences of the left. They reminded us of the sacrifices and heroism that make America great. Today, I will go into detail with their full stories so that MSM can’t memory hole them.The real stars of the State of the Union were the Americans highlighted in the president’s gallery.

The Gaza Technate: For The First Time In History, Technocracy Is In Plain View! – “Last week, I was shocked to find that Trump’s “meme coin” had morphed into a $13 billion empire after starting with $0 in September 2024. It’s called World Liberty Financial (WLF), and the crypto token is called USD1. In the interim, the Trump boys have scored a major deal with Pakistan. This is a huge story, perhaps the biggest of the 21st century. Start by reading this first story (then proceed to the rest of the stories) to get to the end, and my conclusion that Gaza will be the first end-to-end Technate on earth.” – Patrick Wood

NEWS

Peace President Lights the World on Fire – “And maybe himself with it.” – David Haggith

Trumpy Puts Washington’s War Machine Out On Loaner To Bibi! – “The sheer barking hypocrisy of the Donald’s, yes, unprovoked and senseless attack on Iran over the weekend is surely one for the record books. After years of noisy campaigning against the Forever Wars and 12 months back in the Oval Office spent in hot pursuit of a Nobel Peace Prize, the Donald has not only started an utterly unnecessary new and very hot war, but did it essentially by gratuitously putting America’s vast War Machine out on a “loaner” to Bibi Netanyahu.” – David Stockman

Trump’s War with Iran is Unconstitutional, Stupid, Insane, and not in U.S. National Interests – “For the second time in a couple months Trump launched a sneak attack on Iran while engaged in negotiations. The attack included the deliberate assassination of the Ayatollah. For 300 million Muslims, the equivalent of the Pope for Catholics, or the head of the Eastern Orthodox Church. The attack damaged the credibility of the United States and may have many unforeseen geopolitical after effects as traditional norms of the rules of war were shattered. Trump has squandered America’s moral authority, if there was any left, and has unilaterally started what may be a major war with potentially dire consequences.” – Dr. Joseph Sansone

CHAOS UNLEASHED: On day 3 of U.S.-Israel war against Iran, more questions than answers about where this is heading – “Entire Middle East now enraged and in flames, as Trump warns U.S. death toll is expected to rise. Could Iran become the flip side of Ukraine — a Russian proxy against US?” – Leo Hohmann

Trump gets away with all of this by pretending we’re not really at war—a falsehood with which Congress is happy to play along. Asked if the U.S. is at war with Iran, Sen. Lindsey Graham told Meet the Press: “I don’t know if this is technically a war.” Absurd as that sounds,” – Ken Klippenstein

Just relax and take it, the EU tells Iran – “Instead of invoking international law and condemning US-Israeli aggression, Western Europe’s top brass is gleefully victim-blaming Iran. That’s quaint. Europeans pretending that Trump and Netanyahu bombing Iran isn’t about doing the bidding of Trump’s personal and political Israeli benefactors. No, instead they say that it’s all about the Iranian nuclear program that Trump said he had bombed into oblivion not even a year ago, and destabilizing activities around the world, and law enforcement crackdowns at home. The war they wanted: Netanyahu and Trump light the fuse in Iran Read more The war they wanted: Netanyahu and Trump light the fuse in Iran So what does the EU do? Support the American regime that’s arguably more synonymous with all those things combined than any other country right now.” – Rachel Marsden

State Department urges Americans to immediately leave Israel, other Middle East countries – “The US State Department urges Americans to immediately leave 13 Middle Eastern countries, including Israel, due to rising safety risks amid continued US and Israeli strikes against Iran.” – Israel National News

Lions Led by Donkeys – Who’s Really Leading Our Forces? (VIDEO) with LtCOL. Bill Astore – Judge Andrew Napolitano / Judging Freedom

U.S. Suffers Worst Day of Air Losses in Decades as Iran Conflict Spirals – “The Iran conflict is escalating, with the Trump administration desperate to keep a straight face on things as American casualties and losses begin mounting. Today’s major shock came when not one, not two, but an unprecedented three American F-15E fighter jets were mysteriously shot down over Kuwait. Note the official US military report admits that Iranian aircraft had been engaging them at a time when “air superiority” was allegedly long established: But not everyone is convinced these were “friendly fire” incidents.” – Simplicius

How much damage has Iran done to US bases in the Middle East? – “American military targets in six countries, including Bahrain and Qatar, have come under Iranian missile and drone fire” – RT

March 1, 2026 California Strikes Out: Major League Pitcher Turns Down Padres $40 Million Offer Due to State Taxes – “This week, “there is no joy in Mudville” – the mighty Padres have struck out.” – Jonathan Turley

Bernie Sanders Goes Nuclear On Billionaires With Craziest Tax Proposal Yet – “Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT.) is rolling out yet another exercise in class-warfare fantasy legislation on Monday, this time a proposal to extract a staggering $4.4 trillion from the nation’s roughly 1,000 billionaires through an annual 5 percent annual wealth tax,” – Tyler Durden

Iran’s Strikes On The UAE Exposed The Limits Of BRICS Unity – “Iran and the UAE have polar opposite security interests vis-à-vis the US, while India took the UAE’s side over Iran’s arguably due to its nearly 100x greater trade with the Emirates than with the Islamic Republic, all of which proves that BRICS was never a security bloc despite years of false claims to the contrary.” – Andrew Korybko

Zelensky Is Wrong: Russia Didn’t Start World War III In 2022; It Was The US In 1991! – “He defines World War III as a country “want[ing] to impose on the world a different way of life and change the lives people have chosen for themselves”, which doesn’t describe what Russia did in 2022, but what the US has been doing from 1991 till Trump’s return to office last year.” – Andrew Korybko

 

 

ECONOMIC NEWS

War in Iran and the Great Reset – “The War in Iran is already pushing The Great Reset agenda forward, as every major narrative seems to do. Iran is threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz, or already has, or can’t because their navy was destroyed, or is closing it for everyone but China. It’s all rather unclear. What IS clear is that vast amounts of shipping carrying millions of barrels of oil and gas passes through that stretch of water every day, and its closure – or even threatened closure – has serious implications for the price of energy, fertilizer, food…well, everything really.” – Kit Knightly

Three Red Flags You Can’t Ignore: Why This Bull Market May Be Over – “The markets are a sea of red this morning as the world begins to realize that: The situation in Iran will likely not be over quickly. Private credit markets are imploding, suggesting the credit cycle has turned. A top, if not THE top is in for this bull market.” – Graham Summers, MBA

European Natural Gas Surges 35%, Gold and Oil Rise While Silver Falls – “A full breakdown of European gas markets, gold, silver, crude oil, and global equities at the start of March 2027” – The Contrarian Capitalist

Eyes on the Prize: Gold & Silver Shake Off “Bubble” Fears – “When January ended, concerns regarding gold and silver flooded the internet. “A bubble had popped” and the “speculative blowoff” had burst with a crash of prices on January 30. What would February bring? In these columns, we expressed optimism regarding the long-term trend, and now that February is in the books, we’re glad we did. Yes, optimism. Those daily candles from January 30 were indeed ugly, but they were just that—daily candles. Stepping back, there was reason to believe that the sell-off was just a one-off.” – Craig Hemke

Basel III Tightens the Screws on Big Bank Bullion Trading – “For years, analysts of the precious metals market have argued that large financial institutions were able to dominate gold and especially silver pricing through highly leveraged trading on commodities exchanges. Essentially, creating enormous synthetic gold exposure with little-to-no physical metal behind it. Whether you call it hedging, financial engineering, or (in some documented cases) outright manipulation one thing is undeniable: The structure of the commodities markets has long favored institutions that have access to cheap, short-term funding and massive balance sheets to draw from. Basel III changes that equation.” – Phillip Patrick

Off-Grid DIY Hydropower – “How I diverted a small stream to bring hydroelectric power to a remote cabin. Any home sitting near falling water is, in theory, a candidate for powering with hydroelectricity. Outbuildings and hunting cabins can get by on only a few kilowatts of electricity, suitable for “nano-hydro” systems, but a house or large cabin will probably need a “micro-hydro” system, referred to as those producing between 100 and 2,000 watts of electricity. Even a small diversion from a stream can send enough water through a pipe, or “penstock” in hydro terms, to power a battery.” – Chiggers Stokes

Gravity vs Pump vs Powered Water Filtration – “In Canada, boil-water advisories, ice storms, wildfire evacuations, and aging infrastructure are not theoretical risks. They happen yearly. Stored water buys you time. Filtration gives you sustainability.” – denob

THE BIG PICTURE

OPERATION EL MENCHO—Cui bono? – ““You know it’s a false flag hoax and super psyop whenever the drama reaches the level that Mexico has seen over the past couple of days. And a super duper psyop it is, first and foremost, to distract everyone from (i) Mossad’s ever-exploding Epsteingate scandal, (ii) Bibi’s imperialistic war on Iran using the US military, (iii) Israel’s stealthy and slo-mo takeover of the West Bank, (iv) AIPAC’s complete control and manipulation of the U.S. Congress, (v) Ambassador Mike Huckabee’s epic blunder green-lighting the Greater Israel project across the Mideast, (vi) the Zionist blueprint for world domination via the coming Great Reset-imposed CBDC, Who can deny that the exact timing of this “El Mencho” operazione maggiore was meticulously selected for even many more reasons than the preceding slam dunk of an “Cui bono” indictment? First of all, everyone throughout the Global Intelligence Community knows that decapitating a major drug cartel never works; ” – State of the nation

War Games Targeting Christians as Terrorists Reveals a Lot More Than Just Institutional Bias – “New Zealand’s Defence Force (NZDF) has admitted targeting fictional Christian Nationalists to train for war. NZDF utilised the fictional scenario four times in 2025. Key to its backstory is “a predominantly Christian group, who wants to build a state broadly modelled on Christian values.” Governments targeting Christians in fictional wargames reveal a lot more than just institutional bias. These types of revelations are “Ruby Ridge” level warnings.” – Rod Lampard

Trump considers ordering banks to collect citizenship data – FT – “A potential executive order would reportedly aim to curb undocumented migration in the US” – RT   – WETHER YOU ARE AN IMMIGRANT OR NOT, THIS IS AN INVASION OF PRIVACY AND ANOTHER FORM OF CONTROL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Russia Introduces Bill To Make Tokenized Digital Assets ‘Commonplace’ In Daily Life -“Russia continues its path forward into the new financial system, and recently more Russian officials have signaled that a tokenized economy will become the ‘new normal’ of everyday life.” – The WinePress

MAHA, America’s Farmers and the Glyphosate Dilemma – “Glyphosate is the foundational chemical for the current food system, which is a fact that no one can escape from. It is with this fact in mind that we need to approach glyphosate carefully, so as to quickly reduce its use while not creating sudden problems for America’s farmers. The U.S. pesticide industry that has directly caused much of the current chronic disease crisis, has been subsidized indirectly through federal farm policies for decades that encourage intensive, chemical-dependent industrial agriculture.” – Sustainable Pulse

The Mafia, Israel & JFK vs. Fidel Castro [Pizzagate Part 11] – “The casinos, the drug empire and the CIA’s “disposal problem””… Agent131711  – AGENT131711 CONTINUES DOWN THE PIZZAGATE/EPSTEIN /AND MORE RABBIT HOLE!!!!

Your Gut Microbiome Could Affect Colon Cancer – What You Can Do – ““Supporting the gut microbiome can help reduce colorectal cancer risk and may even enhance prevention and treatment,” Sachin Aryal, gut microbiome researcher at the University of Toledo, told The Epoch Times. “We’re learning that the bacteria in the gut matter more than we used to think,” Dr. Cedrek McFadden, colorectal surgeon and medical advisor to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, told The Epoch Times. Gut bacteria are not just sitting there as bystanders. They interact directly with the lining of the colon, the immune system, and inflammatory processes over time. When the microbial balance is off—a condition called dysbiosis—some bacteria can create a low-level inflammatory state or produce substances that irritate the colon lining. Over many years, that kind of environment can contribute to cancer, McFadden said.” – Zena le Roux

 

 

NEWS

Fool’s Gold: The Art of the Steal and the Privatization of the Presidency – “In his State of the Union address, President Trump declared that America is entering a “Golden Age.” Golden for whom? For a president who lives lavishly in a taxpayer-funded mansion, jets around to weekend golf getaways at taxpayer expense, and dismisses concerns about “affordability” as fake news, life might indeed be gilded. For the rest of the country, it is fool’s gold. Nearly six-in-ten Americans say the country is worse off now than it was a year ago. Groceries cost more. Utilities cost more. Housing costs more. For millions of families, this is not a golden age. It is a painful lesson in imperial economics: the billionaire class lives large while “we the people” are told to live small.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

The Sound Of A Collapsing Empire – “Shockingly, or predictably, or even shockingly predictably, we discover there is a terrible toilet problem on the USS Gerald R. Ford. This carrier is the newest and most expensive warship ever built, at $13 Billion 2017 dollars, $17 Billion in today’s fiat. Among its many innovations, a vacuum-sewage system was adopted from the cruise ship industry, with pipes too narrow to accomplish their military mission. The USS Gerald Ford recently finished a strenuous, if imaginary, narcoterror operation in the Caribbean, and at this moment, is in the Mediterranean Sea attempting to join the massive US sea and air forces buildup vis a via Iran. Israel wants to decapitate Iran, and Washington want to please Israel despite the political and strategic risk to Trump’s legacy, and desire to avoid a third, fourth and fifth impeachment in 2027. American blood and resources will be Iranian targets if Trump or Netanyahu start shooting off more than just their gum flappers. The long lines to the head on the USS Gerald Ford on its way to a stupid war no one wants or needs will engender thousands of conversations, story-telling, venting, and reflections on imperial wantonness and political stupidity. Let’s hope this is the worst that happens to them.” – Karen Kwiatkowski  – SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS GOING DOWN THE SHITTER (THE EMPIRE), JUST NOT WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO 💩. YOU REALIZE THERE ARE NO URINALS ON THIS SHIP. SO MUCH FOR BEING GENDER NEUTRAL!!!!

If You Think The US Wants To Bring Democracy To Iran, Watch What They’re Currently Doing To Iraq – “This is what US-imposed “democracy” looks like in practice: giving a nation the freedom to do what Washington tells them to do and elect the leaders that Washington allows them to elect.” – Caitlin Johnstone

War with Iran is Likely More Imminent than you Think – “Several big clues present a shorter timeline than the official deadline for the long-feared, all-out war that many, including Iran, have said would be the start of WWIII in the Middle East.” – David Haggith

America 2.0: Running on Fumes – “Can’t somebody make something work? It’s pretty clear that all commerce now revolves around poorly made products, assembled by exploited foreign workers, which unconscionable companies sell with “warranties” that they often fail to honor on a technicality. Or they design the products to break down just after their warranty expires. Yes, that sounds paranoid, perhaps delusional. I’ve been driven to the breaking point, pun intended, by having to rely on so many things that don’t work.” – Donald Jeffries

Watch: TDS Riddled De Niro Sobs In TEARS Over Trump – “Robert De Niro, the actor whose unhinged rants against President Trump have become a staple of leftist media, took his Trump Derangement Syndrome to new heights by bursting into tears during an MSNBC appearance. De Niro sobbed while discussing Trump’s alleged “division,” prompting host Nicolle Wallace to tear up as well in a display of peak propaganda.” – Steve Watson  – AND WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT THESE  OLD ACTORS  AND SINGERS LIKE SPRINGSTEEN AND BONO THINK.  THEY ARE NO DIFFERENT THEN ANYONE ELSE, THEY ARE JUST ENTERTAINERS, THEIR OPINIONS REALLY MEAN NOTHING AND ARE NO BETTER THAN YOURS’ OR MINE. I’VE LOST A LOT OR RESPECT FOR SOME OF THESE PEOPLE. I LIKE THEIR MUSIC, AND THEIR ACTING. MORE THAN THAT, I COULD CARE LESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As Russia’s SMO Heads Into Its Fifth Year, the Struggle Lives On – “Today marks the fourth anniversary of the beginning of the ‘Special Military Operation’, launched on February 24th, 2022. On this occasion, I wanted to write a few words and address a couple controversial topics surrounding this ongoing war, now heading into its fifth year. One of the most widespread narratives surrounding the war on both sides has been that it is an extremely wasteful “brother war” where Slavic people are senselessly slaughtering each other for the applauding Europeans. It’s an indubitable fact that huge amounts of Slavic men are perishing on both sides all for the purpose of bleeding Russia dry for the sake of people that in actuality hate both sides, including the Ukrainians, whom they merely pretend to “like” so as to use them as a battering ram against Russia. But there are two things that can be said about this:” – Simplicius

Why Might Ukraine & Its Western Patrons Try To Blow Up Russia’s Black Sea Pipelines? – “The purpose is to derail the peace talks by provoking Russia into either preemptively escalating against Ukraine as a deterrent or authorizing an overmatched retaliatory escalation right after that could in any case be spun by the Europeans to manipulate Trump against Putin.” – Andrew Korybko

CME Halts Metals Trading — Again — Two Days Before First Notice Day – “On Wednesday, February 25, 2026 — precisely 48 hours before March First Notice Day — CME Group halted all metals and natural gas futures and options trading on its Globex platform. CME’s Global Command Center first acknowledged the issue at 12:11 CT, and by 12:15 CT the exchange confirmed a full halt. Natural gas was quietly restarted by 12:50 CT, but metals — the category where the real pressure exists — remained dark with no timeline for resumption. All day orders and good-till-date (GTD) orders placed for Wednesday were canceled. Only good-till-canceled (GTC) orders with prior confirmations survived the purge. CME’s official explanation: “technical issues.” No further detail. No elaboration. Just a status page that reads “Investigating”. Anyone paying attention to the silver market knows the timing here is not random.” – Niko Moretti

The Silver Cliff of 2026: The Hard Data – “We are no longer approaching the “Silver Cliff.” We are currently in freefall. Here is the cold, hard math that the banks don’t want on your feed.

Gold Revaluation Is Coming – Andy Schectman Explains The Endgame (VIDEO) – “Andy Schectman CEO of Miles Franklin Precious Metals explains why gold revaluation by governments is increasingly likely rather than speculative. He argues that treasury backed stablecoins and legislation such as the GENIUS Act create a powerful incentive for higher gold prices as interest flows are redirected into hard assets. Schectman notes that gold already sits on central bank balance sheets in revaluation accounts making an official reset structurally simple if confidence in fiat erodes further.” – Liberty and Finance

 

 

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

ALASKA’S HARSH TRUTH: WHY HOMESTEADING HERE BREAKS MOST PEOPLE – “With its unforgiving climate and vast, untamed wilderness, Alaska truly is the last frontier. For those bold enough to homestead here, it’s far more than just a hobby; it’s a demanding way of life that requires a level of grit, fortitude, and resilience few can imagine. The year revolves around the brief but intense summer, when every essential task, from planting crops to gathering firewood, must be done with winter in mind.” – Anna Sakawsky

Cold-Climate Composting Systems That Work Year-Round in Canada – “In a true preparedness mindset, compost is not a gardening hobby. It is soil production, waste management, nutrient recycling, and food security rolled into one system. If you can maintain active composting through winter, you gain three major advantages: When temperatures drop below freezing, microbial activity slows dramatically. If the pile is small or poorly insulated, it freezes solid. Once frozen, decomposition essentially pauses. The goal in winter isn’t necessarily to keep a steaming 60°C “hot pile” going constantly. It’s to retain core heat, protect microbial life, and keep the system active enough to prevent full freeze-through.” – denob

Why “Normalcy Bias” Gets People Killed – “There is a peculiar and deadly glitch in the human brain. When danger arrives — real, imminent, life-threatening danger — a significant portion of people simply freeze. They look around, note that no one else seems to be panicking, and convince themselves that everything is probably fine. This is not cowardice. It is not stupidity. It is a well-documented psychological phenomenon called normalcy bias, and it has contributed to some of the deadliest disasters in recorded history.” – Ask A Prepper Staff

20 Bug Out Bag Items With More Than One Use – “One way to make evacuation a little easier is to make sure that every item you do carry in your backpack has more than one use. This will greatly reduce the number of items you need to carry and can make room for other things.” – Megan Stewart

8 Things to Plant in a Cold Frame in Late Winter/Early Spring – “From radishes to pansies, there’s plenty to plant at this time of year.” – Casey Clark

THE BIG PICTURE

Hate from a Distance – “I know what hate is. I’ve felt it. I doubt there’s a human alive who hasn’t had firsthand experience with the emotion. But for me, hate has to come with pretty good, in-your-face, grounds. What about you? Is it a good thing to refrain from hate? I think so. I don’t mean to bring up Trump so often, but you have to admit, he is the giant elephant in the room and always a great subject for comment. He is a perfect example of what this article is about—hate. I don’t have to tell you he is the number one object of hate in the world today. Sure, there are others, but Trump gets the gold medal.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

Trump’s WWIII: Hospital Flotilla Heading for Iran – “WHY is President Trump sending a military hospital flotilla to Greenland? Why is he saying it is to help the sick people of Greenland? Are there no hospitals or doctors in Greenland? Quite simply, Trump is anticipating American soldier casualties when we initiate war with Iran and is afraid of the backlash this admission would have on The People. Iran. The means of distracting from the demise of America. Now that Huckabee has given the Middle East due notice that Israel is planning on taking over more territory than believed, the boundary lines shift. Saudi Arabia is awakening from its slumber. Qatar sees the duplicity. And the remaining pro=Trumpers trying to shift blame to the UK Black Nobles is falling flat. And HHS antisemitism gulags look more like concentration camps. Iran hosts upwards of half a million Christians. ” – Helena Glass  – HELENA CONNECTS A FEW DOTS HERE AND IT ISN’T PRETTY!!!!!

Nutritional Deficiencies and Toxicity: The Silent Collapse Beneath Every Modern Disease – “Americans are undoubtedly the champions of disease, for they have the worst diets, the most vaccines, the most dangerous and numerous tests like CAT and PET scans, and take the most medications of any people on Earth, and the statistics sustain this view. Instead of supporting health, Americans, and of course, many others around the world, support the pharmaceutical paradigm that tears down health.” – Dr. Sircus

France declares war on meat – “The state is lecturing its citizens about the supposed danger of their diets, again” – Rachel Marsden

This time the antipodal quislings have been activated to wonder out loud what could ever be driving these unprecedented cases in demographics that have historically never experienced such cancer rates; that is, until they were injected by an out of control tyrannical Down Under government with PSYOP-19 Modified mRNA slow kill bioweapon “vaccines,” but we digress:” – 2nd Smartest Guy in the World

About Those Checks…- “It became the practice of Roman caesars – after the actual one’s murder in the Forum and the reign of his immediate successor, Augustus – to buy the affection of the people (as well as the legions) by showering them with sesterces, coins in Roman times. It became necessary in short order – after Augustus – for the new caesar to do this, else he might end up – and often did end up – being put to death by his own praetorians. Trump promised sesterces – twice thus far. Initially, we plebes were supposed to be getting a $5,000 check as our common refund, to be paid-for by all the money saved by Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency. Does anyone in our amnesiac era recall? Trump’s promises of sesterces – to the tune of $5,000 for each of us plebes – was of a piece. It was greeted with wild enthusiasm because so many of us plebes could very much use $5,000 – Well, we’re very close to the vaguely hinted at point at which the imperator said the sesterces would be paid out. Is there anyone who still believe they will be? ” – Eric Peters  – I HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE. ERIC SAYS IT WAS REDUCED TO $2000, BUT I TOOK THE $2000 REFUND TO BE FOR TARIFFS IN ADDITION TO THE $5000 DOGE SAVINGS REFUND. SO ACTUALLY HE WAS PROMISING TWO DIFERENT REFUNDS NOT A REDUCED REFUND. WHICH WE WON’T SEE EITHER OF THEM!!!

A Campaign of Bad Faith and Ill Will – “Lunacy proceeds from crime. In case you wonder why half the country has gone crazy, seek no further than Susan Rice’s stark warning to the other half of the country that is not crazy. Ms. Rice was Barack Obama’s National Security Advisor and then “Joe Biden’s” Domestic Policy Advisor. She did a podcast last week with Preet Bharaha. Her message to Trump supporters: We’re coming after you when we’re back in power. “Revenge is a dish best served cold.” It was an important signal and it got a lot of people’s attention. It telegraphed the fear running through the Lefty-left that their crimes against the country are being tallied, carefully catalogued, and presented to a grand jury in Florida. The crimes are bundled as a multifaceted conspiracy to overthrow the US government. Pretty serious. Sedition and Treason. Susan Rice knows what she (and others) did. Secondly, and surely less-known to the American public, was Ms. Rice’s role as Domestic Policy Advisor under “Joe Biden.” Her actual job from 2021 to 2023 was to serve as a conduit for Barack Obama to run “Joe Biden’s” White House, along with Jake Sullivan and Tony Blinken. During those years, the public rarely (if ever) saw Susan Rice. She avoided the news media and did not make public statements or appearances at White House events. The news media were happy to ignore her. They knew exactly what she was up to.” – James Howard Kunstler

Upon a platform of lies – “The very model of modern majoritarian mendacity. “If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit” is a time honored tradition among charlatans and politicians, but this commonplace political Pokémon sometimes evolves into a far more pernicious final form: New York city is becoming acutely hilarious in this regard. This has got to be some kind of all time record for going from “piles of socialist promises for free stuff” to “we need you in the work gangs because our infrastructure is borked.” Yes, the culpepper is satire, but the rest of this is all too real. It seems this gang cannot even keep its manifold mendacities straight and the irony of “you needed no ID to vote yourself into this but you need extreme amounts of ID to shovel yourself out” (In the New York collective work gangs, mo less) is thick enough to block a snowplow.” – El Gato Malo

AOC’s Ignorance Is No Laughing Matter – “Ocasio-Cortez’s Munich performance was laughable—but her nostalgia for workerist politics ignores a century of Marxist failure, revisionism, and the authoritarian wreckage that followed.” – Stephen Soukup

‘This clip will haunt him forever’: Watch Gavin Newsom bond with blacks by telling them ‘they’re all probably stupid & probably can’t read’ – Bob Unruh  – A LITTLE RACIST, DON’T YOU THINK, GAVIN!!!!!

Greater Israel’s War Calendar and the Epstein Class Cartel Running Trump (VIDEO) with Max Blumenthal – “Max Blumenthal joins George Galloway on MOATS to lay out how Netanyahu’s rented American president has been handed a war calendar written in Tel Aviv, with a fake 10‑day “diplomacy” window timed to Purim and Ramadan and backed by the biggest U.S. naval build‑up since Iraq.” – MOATS

Florida toddler dies after man allegedly binds, beats 3-year-old: Shocking child abuse case sparks outrage – “A Florida man has been arrested following the death of his girlfriend’s 3-year-old daughter, who succumbed to injuries after being allegedly bound and struck. According to the sheriff’s office, when deputies arrived, they were informed that 32-year-old Jeroen Jarrel Coombs had harmed Paisley and was trying to leave the scene. Coombs reportedly admitted to binding Paisley’s hands with a robe tie and her legs with painter’s tape to stop her from reaching into her diaper. He claimed that he dropped Paisley while she was still tied up, causing her to gasp for air. The sheriff’s office said that he later stated he struck her multiple times before realizing he “took it too far.” – Audrey Liza M. Nolasco

How Might Russia Respond To The US’ Planned Long-Range Missile Deployment To Germany? – “The redeployment of its hypersonic Oreshniks to Kaliningrad, Belarus, and/or Crimea is the most likely response so long as the US continues to informally comply with the New START, but any significant violations thereof could prompt Russia to redeploy (even just tactical) nukes to those places.” – Andrew Korybko

The Strategic Dilemma At the Heart of Iran’s Struggle – “Contradictory bouts of news and rumor continue to pour in surrounding Trump’s ‘imminent’ attack on Iran. The buildup is said to be the largest since the Iraq war, with various figures like ex-CIA operative John Kiriakou giving their renditions of ‘insider intel’ that Trump has already sealed the fated decision and is ready to roll heavy within the next 48 hours. Iranian officials, on the other hand, appear to signal that talks will continue into next weekend, and there are varied reports about deals gaining traction.” – Simplicius

This consensus is largely based on the history of the Weimar Republic and other examples of money-printing (the only expedient solution) leading to the destruction of the currency.

THE BIG PICTURE

Sic Transit Gloria Mundi – Could This Really Be The End of “Royal” “Families? Of Our Disgusting “Elites”? – “The ridiculous bloated “Prince” Andrew was arrested on Thursday not for his sexual transgressions but for giving information on U.K. trade deals to Epstein – so Epstein could sell insider information, exhaustively detailed here.. It was how Andrew paid tribute for the ‘gift’ of teens and bailing out his equally grotesque ex-wife, the money grubbing “please marry me, Jeffrey,” Sarah Ferguson. Deflection is pretty much the case regarding everyone fired due to Epstein association so far. Though the former Prime Minister of Norway, Thorbjorn Jagland was charged with “gross corruption”, instead of raping children. Thomas Pritsker, cousin of the wretched Governor of Illinois, head of Hyatt Hotels, resigned. Tax evasion on grand scale? Sex with toddlers? Unknown so far. Sultan Ahamed Bin Sulyem – chief of Dubai DP World is gone – he was the monster that “loved that torture video”.” – Elizabeth Nickson  – QUITE THE LIST, WITH I’M SURE MORE TO COME!!!

Operation Trust: The 100-Year-Old Soviet Psyop Repackaged As Qanon And The MAGA Movement – “The Great Reset and the Great Awakening are one and the same: any path you pick may look different, but it ends at the same destination. It is new lies for old. We have heard for years the many promises and slogans echoed by Trump, both his former and current administration officials, and the political pundits that supported (and still voraciously support) him, to sell the public the message of prosperity and victory. “Make America Great Again.” “Drain the swamp.” “Golden Age.” “America First.” “End the Deep State.” “4-D Chess.” “Removing Abuse, Fraud, and Waste.” “Great Awakening.” “Restore the Republic.” “The Storm.” “Red Pill.” “Defeat the Globalists.” “Fall Cabal.” “Hopium” “Winning.” “Where We Go One, We Go All” . “White Hats” “Trust the Plan.” That last phrase is the most important one. TRUST.” – The WinePress  – GOOD READ FROM THE WINEPRESS!!!!

In July, Wired reported that Cantor Fitzgerald, which Lutnick chaired until he was appointed to Trump’s Cabinet, was allowing its traders to purchase the rights to hundreds of millions of dollars of refunds in the event the tariffs were struck down in court. The firm now happens to be headed by Lutnick’s sons Kyle and Brandon.” – Hafiz Rashid  – IMAGINE THAT.

Gina Hinojosa (D-Austin), who’s currently in the running for governor, says she has filed a Public Information Act and a legislative oversight inquiry for the release of body camera and dashcam footage related to the fatal shooting. She included the following statement in a Friday evening release: “A young man was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Texas and it took investigative reporters and a FOIA request to find out about it a year later. This is unacceptable. An American died at the hands of a federal agent and no one knew. This complete lack of accountability is a threat to all Americans and all Texans.” said Hinojosa. “This is now the third American citizen to be shot and killed by ICE in the streets. How many more people have been shot and killed that we don’t know about?” – Mack Shaw

Iran, Bunker Busters And Empire First – “When it comes to the dangerous misgovernance of our tottering American Republic, there is no more deadly combination imaginable than– The sweeping unchecked powers of the imperial presidency. A $1 trillion per year war machine which is organized mainly for conduct of wars of invasion and occupation and the propagation of Empire and which stands at the unilateral beck and call of the POTUS.

The demands imposed on Iran by the Trump White House are no more acceptable to the regime in Tehran than those imposed on Hamas in Gaza under Trump’s sham peace plan.” – Chris Hedges

ECONOMIC NEWS

Grinding the American Middle Class to Dust – “The housing market, for much of the 20th century, was the bedrock of the American Dream. Home ownership, and the financial stability it represents, was a sure path to middle-class prosperity. That dream turned to a nightmare for many American families during the epic real estate bubble and subsequent bust in 2008-09. Now the crumbling façade of American real estate and the associated economic squeeze has become too great to ignore. We’ve reached the point where discretionary income, the money left over after you’ve paid for basic needs, has effectively vanished for much of the population. When 67 percent of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, saving for a down payment is impossible.” – MN Gordon

The latest growth and employment numbers suggest that “this could be a very good year,” said Larry Kudlow. “Growth,” they all agreed, will surprise everyone. Today, let’s keep our eye on the golden ball. The South China Morning Post reports: China wants its banks to hold fewer US Treasuries. This is the problem that the new man at the Fed, Warsh, will face. Even with improving monthly deficits, he’ll have about $10 trillion in debt to finance or roll over in the next twelve months. And he’ll have fewer people who want it to roll over on them.” – Bill Bonner

If ‘Cash Is King’, Berkshire Hathaway Leads The World – “Which Companies Hold the Most Cash? Berkshire Hathaway leads the rankings with an impressive $382 billion. Why Buffett Holds So Much Cash Among the top 50 companies, the Financials sector collectively holds the largest cash reserves at $1.2 trillion—partially driven by strict capital rules requiring banks to maintain large liquid buffers. Berkshire Hathaway is different: its cash position is strategic, not regulatory. After 12 straight quarters as a net seller of stocks, Buffett and the team have parked much of the company’s liquidity in short-term U.S. Treasury bills, implying that equity valuations look expensive.” – Tyler Durden

THE BIG PICTURE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

NEWS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

 

 

ECONOMIC NEWS

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

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

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

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

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

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

Hurricane Ties: The Complete Guide to Protecting Your Home – “Whether you live on the Gulf Coast, in tornado alley, along the Atlantic seaboard, or even in areas prone to severe thunderstorms, understanding hurricane ties could mean the difference between minor repairs and catastrophic loss. For the self-sufficient homeowner who takes pride in maintaining and improving their property, learning about these essential structural connectors is not just smart—it’s empowering. This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know about hurricane ties: what they are, how they work, when you need them, and most importantly, how to install them yourself.” – Self-Sufficient Projects Staff

THE BIG PICTURE

King Trump Formed the NEW New World Order at the WEF Today to a Standing Ovation – “But it still has the same New World ODOR that reeks of swamp, albeit laced with that hot-plastic aroma of high-tech data centers that lingers along the footsteps of billionaires in the alpine snow.” – David Haggith

The chocolate helmet of government accountability – “The CDC refused to even monitor vaccine safety under covid. They just flat out didn’t do it. But this is not unique to health. Increasingly, we see agency after agency in which it’s clear that someone took the batteries out. It’s legitimately amazing how fake these government systems have become. They have passed “unsuited to purpose” and reached “directly and intentionally antithetical” to it. They seem to even lack systems to hold agencies and agents accountable. and you don’t diverge this far from sane and sensible practice by accident.” – El Gato Malo

Don’t Blame Boomers – “AS A BOOMER (b. 1957) who is being blamed for all the ills afflicting subsequent generations, I’d like to state the following. 1. I did not vote to establish the private Federal Reserve in 1913. I was not born until many decades later. 2. I did not vote to change our real silver coins (“money”) for copper coins painted silver. I was 8 years old in 1965. 3. I did not vote to change our Silver Certificate Dollars (which could be exchanged for actual physical silver) to pure fiat Federal Reserve Notes. I was 11 years old in 1968. 4. I did not vote to “close the gold window” in 1971. Nixon did that. I was 14 years old. What happened to all Americans was the planned and structured debasement of our federal reserve currency (it’s not real money).” – Matthew Bracken  – GOOD ONE FROM MATT!!!!!!!!!!

Trump at Davos: “Covid” was a a military operation. “Dust” [chemical weapons] was used. – “I told you so in 2022. Trump tells you now in 2026. Will freedom experts admit they mislead you into “public health mistakes” and “wrong science”?” – Sasha Latypova

Snow and Ice Storms Will Break Records, Take Down Power Lines – “A polar vortex will impact much of the country. The price of natural gas soars. Here are a few videos that show the progression of the storm. Utah, Nevada, and the west coast are spared. The biggest problem is ice and freezing rain in a long band that separates snow from rain.” – Mish

Massive Winter Storm Puts 230 Million Americans At Risk As Panic Buying Begins – “While climate alarmist Al Gore warned about global warming at the World Economic Forum for globalist billionaire elites in Davos, Switzerland, this week, roughly 230 million Americans are grounded in reality and facing what could be a historic snow and/or ice event. ” – Tyler Durden

The Government Now Wants Every American Wearing a Privacy-Invading Tracking Device – “‘It’s for your health!’ Bullshit.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf  – HAVE LINKED ABOUT THIS PREVIOUSLY AS WELL. HERE’S THE WOLF’S TAKE ON IT!!!!!

Tenpenny Throwback Thursday Ozempic for addiction? I thought it was for diabetes! – “Ozempic is a drug that is indicated for diabetes, and is prescription use only. The drug and others like it have become the latest weight loss fix-all drug. Sadly, doctors are prescribing it for off-label drug use for weight loss. Ozempic and similar drugs are now being used to treat drug, alcohol, and other addictions. The use of these drugs is quickly spiraling out of control.” – Dr. Sherri Tenpenny

Ancient Electricity? Lost Technology? Magnetic Trains in 1850, Civil War Solar Power & More – “My mind is officially blown…” – Agent131711  – AGENT131711 GOES DIVING AGAIN!!!!

NEWS

Up in Smoke – “Davos — The World Economic Forum (WEF)— is toast. Trump, Bessent, and Lutnick exposed the wretched org of overcompensated squishes to too much light and heat and it flared into such a pathetic little smoldering cinder that its spoxpersons said the meeting might get moved out of Davos altogether next year to Dublin or Detroit. Closer to the people, you understand (except there are hardly any people left in Detroit, thanks to the fifty years of WEF influence on manufacturing policy and the people of Dublin are now Nigerians, Somalis, and Congolese, thanks to the WEF’s retarded migration doctrine). All of which means that its trademark, WEF Globalism, is dead, too.” – James Howard Kunstler – WEF GLOBALISM MAY BE DEAD, BUT GLOBALISM IS STILL ALIVE AND WELL. JUST CHANGING HANDS FOR THE MOMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The real “rupture” in Davos – “Davos 2026 was a demented kaleidoscope. The only possible way to wallow through the mire was to put on the headphones and resort to the Band of Gypsys smashing sonic barriers, and drowning a frankly terryfying series of events, including a Palantir-BlackRock connection, Big Tech meets Big Finance; the “Master Plan” for Gaza; and the acute discombobulation in neo-Caligula’s rant, here in the 3-minute version. Then there was what the fragmented West’s mainstream media erected as a visionary speech: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s mini-opus magnum, complete with a – what else – Thucydides quote (“The strong do what they can, and the weak suffer what they must”) to illustrate the “rupture” of the “rules-based international order”, which was already a Dead Man Not Walking at least for a year now. Many of those who now enshrine Carney as The New Messiah – and such a defender of internation law – totally ignored or covered for the Zionist genocide of Gaza; demonized Russia to Kingdom Come and keep instigating a Forever War; and now beg on their knees for neo-Caligula to engage in a “dialogue” to solve his self-proclaimed Greenland land grab. Elon Musk, incidentally, also showed up at Davos on short notice. He is a huge supporter of the Greenland land grab” – Pepe Escobar

Mileposts Along the Road – “The Trump regime – just the right word, given its thuggish turn of late – now says that anyone who video records the doings of ICE is a “domestic terrorist.” In other words, to document what the government is doing constitutes “terrorism.” It is of a piece with the doctrine that anything less than immediate submission to an order barked at us by armed government workers constitutes “resisting” and that can (and often does) trigger a Hut! Hut! Hutting! It gets worse” – Eric Peters

Here’s How The Media Are Lying Right Now: ICE And ‘5-Year-Old Boy’ Edition – “Credit to the Department of Homeland Security and Vice President J.D. Vance for immediately nipping in the bud what was sure to be a hysterical weekend-long news cycle. It’s the same playbook whenever the dying media want to manipulate their audiences and turn public sentiment against a government policy they oppose. In this case, immigration law enforcement. They would have you believe that ICE snatched an adorable little boy out of preschool and marched him into the frigid air of a Minneapolis suburb.” – Eddie Scarry

Jared Kushner reveals ‘MASTER PLAN’ for developing Gaza at Davos during Trump’s Board of Peace (VIDEO) – The Mirror – TRUMP’S SON-IN-LAW REVEALS WHAT THIS IS REALLY ABOUT. MAKING MONEY, BUT I GUARANTEE IT WON’T BE FOR THE PALESTINIANS, IT WILL BE FOR THE ZIONISTS AND THEIR FLUNKY TRUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trump’s Board of Peace Bandits (VIDEO) – “Captain Chaos Trump is deliberately destroying the old to make way for the new (the problem-reaction-solution Hegelian dialectic). The Board of Peace is a pay-to-play organization with a panel of bandits – war criminals, ardent Zionists and real estate moguls – with not a single Palestinian on the board!” – Makia Freeman

Hoodwinks and Hijinks: Trump ‘Nabs’ Greenland at Davos – “The Davos conference taking place in Switzerland has brought all the world’s top geopolitical tinder boxes to the center stage. The most notable has been Trump’s ongoing Greenland saga, which is apparently ending in the selfsame style as most of Trump’s previous loudly heroic campaigns—all sound and fury, signifying pitifully little. Trump wanted all of Greenland, and the latest reports indicate what he will get are “small pockets” of land to erect a few more US assets, little different to the US’s ‘leasehold’ of Guantanamo or UK’s land rights in Cyprus, etc.” – Simplicius

Did U.S. Policy Deliberately Harm Civilians in Iran? (VIDEO) with Max Blumenthal – Judge Andrew Napolitano – “Max Blumenthal joins Judge Napolitano to dissect Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s Davos brag that Trump ordered OFAC to collapse Iran’s currency, block imports, and deliberately drive people into the streets. He frames this as open admission of “financial terrorism”: ” – Judging Freedom

Trump Suggests He Can Send $2,000 Tariff Rebate Checks Without Congress – “Speaking to reporters outside the White House, Trump suggested that the surge in tariff revenue could fund the payouts while also reducing the national debt, which is approaching $38.5 trillion. “We have so much money coming in from tariffs that we’ll be able to make a very substantial dividend to the people of our country,” the president said. “I believe we can do that without Congress.”” – Tyler Durden

ECONOMIC NEWS

From Vibrancy To Vacancy: Going, Going, Gone! – “I hate shopping. I hate crowds. I hate malls. I don’t believe I had entered a mall in over a decade, until Monday. My visit to the once vibrant Montgomery Mall in Montgomeryville, PA was a shocking confirmation of what I had been predicting about retail stores since 2008. Next to the term Dead Mall in the dictionary should be a picture of the current version of the Montgomery Mall. The death of this now obsolete mecca of consumerism can be blamed on clueless corporate executives, devious developers, feckless bankers, and technology. The beginning of the downfall can be traced to the acquisition of the mall by Simon Property Group in 2003. These corporate raiders use the legal system to organize their holdings in such a way that they can take on massive leverage, pillage the asset, not repay the debt, and walk away virtually unscathed, like they did in 2021 when the mall was foreclosed upon with a $119 judgment against Simon. ” – Jim Quinn

Gold, Silver, and Their Big Round Numbers – “The odds that $5,000 gold and $100 silver would happen on the same day seemed pretty slim. Yet here we are, with that being a very real possibility:” – John Rubino

Japan Blows up American Stocks – “Stocks had an exciting week as we went from everything bubble to everything crash in about a day and a half. With gold and silver loving every minute.” – Peter St Onge

Has Winter Arrived For Inflation? – “We Have Price Stability. Now We Need Wage And Income Growth” – Peter Nayland Kust

Economy shows signs of cooling, S&P finds. Tariffs still weigh on growth and hiring. – Jeffry Bartash

The Retirement Math Most Americans Get Wrong – “You can do everything right – save diligently, plan ahead, follow the rules – and still come up short in retirement. The problem isn’t effort. It’s assumptions: Inflation, healthcare, and living costs don’t behave the way we expect. So what can we do?” – Peter Reagan

Investment Update: The “Sell America” Trade Isn’t a One-Off – “our demand for financing is rising even as foreign willingness to provide that financing is falling. The deficit is already running hot early in fiscal year 2026—Treasury reported the U.S. borrowed $602 billion in the first three months of FY 2026, and CRFB warned we remain on track for a nearly $2 trillion deficit this year.” – Jim Nelson, CFA

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

The Blizzard of 2026 Is Coming — Here’s How I’m Preparing – “Right now, it’s calm outside. That’s usually how it goes before a winter storm like this one. The sun’s out, it doesn’t feel that cold yet, and it’s easy to think, “We’ll deal with it tomorrow.” But the forecast says a lot of people across the South and Appalachia are about to deal with ice, snow, wind, and power outages — possibly for several days. And when that happens, one thing matters more than anything else: Heat. Not food. Not gadgets. Not panic buying at the last minute. Heat.” – M.D. Creekmore  – THIS ONE HAS A VIDEO LINK AS WELL, BE SURE TO WATCH IT!!!

It’s COMING! ULTIMATE Winter Storm Prep Guide! (VIDEO) – Jason Salyer

Going Off Grid In The Tropics – Part 1 – “Have you ever thought about going off-grid in the tropics? No? Well, me neither, yet that’s where I find myself. First up, though I have had food stores and access to water as a habit for over a decade I have only been living (mostly) off-grid for a year. So I’m not very experienced and still learning the ropes. But I thought my experiences here might be a curiosity and possibly be interesting reading for others.” – Conan Stevens

Is an Air Fryer Oven Worthwhile for the Frugal Kitchen? – Daisy Luther

Stop Buying Your Meat from Walmart – “This may not be something most folks like to hear, especially when grocery bills already feel too high, but it needs to be said plainly and without sugarcoating: the meat most Americans buy today is not the same meat we grew up on, and pretending otherwise doesn’t do anyone any favors. This isn’t an attack on Walmart, and it’s not about shaming anyone for where they shop. Walmart exists because people need affordable food, and for a lot of families, it’s the only store within driving distance. That reality matters. What also matters is understanding what kind of meat you’re bringing home, how it affects your health over time, and whether it truly belongs in a long-term food plan.” – Ask a Prepper

THE BIG PICTURE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

NEWS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ECONOMIC NEWS

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

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

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

Empty Stores Everywhere! America’s “Retail Apocalypse” Is Already The Worst In History, And There Are Signs That It Is Getting Even Worse… – “Did you know that more stores were closed in the United States last year than ever before? More than 8,000 stores were permanently shuttered in 2025, and it appears that 2026 will be even worse. U.S. consumers have very little discretionary income to spend these days, and empty stores litter the landscape.” – Michael Snyder – HAVE SEEN THESE “RETAIL APOCALYPSE” ARTICLES FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER.

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

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

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

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

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

THE BIG PICTURE

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

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

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

7 Simple Ways to Unclog Your Arteries Naturally – “Despite decades of willful ignorance, the #1 killer in the developed world (heart disease) is not only preventable, but REVERSIBLE.” – Sayer Ji

FDA Says Many AI Tools And Health Wearables Are Exempt From Regulation, ‘We Don’t Believe In Censorship’ – Tracking Devices Are Safe – “Many of these devices create databases from people’s collected biometrics. It’s another way for tech companies and the government to get its hands on people’s intrinsic data.” – The WinePress

NEWS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

How to Grow Barley for Beer – “Homebrewers and grain gurus alike will benefit from planting this low-maintenance crop.”- Chris Colby

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

VERSES FOR THE DAY

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

THE BIG PICTURE

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

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

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

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

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

“The CDC quietly recommends a second covid booster for vulnerable adults” December 30, 2025 Washington Post, – “Leana Wen byline. You don’t say.” – Sage Hana

Curved or Flat? Fascinating Earth Shape Experiments of the 1800s – “Incredibly simple experiments that anyone can perform, yet nobody did… until Parallax came along…” – Agent131711  – NEVER CONSIDERED MYSELF A FLAT-EARTHER BUT THIS ONE WILL MAKE YOU WONDER!!!

NEWS

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

The Real Tyrannical Regime – “Pretty sure what’s tyrannical is invading a country, murdering scores of people, and abducting its leader in order to steal control of its resources.” – Caitlin Johnstone

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Caracasian Cut – “Regime decaptitation and the consequences of competence” – John Carter – LONG BUT VERY GOOD READ AND ANALYSIS FROM JOHN!!!!

Trump rachets up tensions with Moscow as U.S. military seizes Russian tanker in international waters and talks more about taking Greenland by force – “Russia responds with demands to safely return its citizens currently being detained by the U.S. military.” – Leo Hohmann

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

China is reclassifying silver as a strategic resource, locking 60–70 percent of tradable refined supply behind an export‑licensing wall, while only 44 firms are authorized to ship it abroad through 2027.” – The Silver Academy

SPECIAL VENEZUELAN NEWS ADDITION ( DAY 2 )

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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