THE BIG PICTURE
If We Believe, We Know We Can Follow – “Faith is a binary proposition. One either believes or one disbelieves. There is not a third alternative. Living according to faith is also a binary proposition. One either is living by faith or one is not living by faith. There is not a third alternative. To believe in God is to accept God’s Law. To believe in God is to bend to God’s Will. There is no exception to this. There is no gray area in this. To believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is to accept both the Crucifixion and the Resurrection. To believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is to accept that, through Him, we are redeemed, the debt of our sins paid forever in full. There is no exception to this. There is no gray area in this. To accept God’s Law is to live in accordance with God’s Law. To bend to God’s Will is to act so as to further God’s Will. There is no exception to this. There is no gray area in this.” – Peter Nayland Kust – GOOD ONE FROM PETER ONCE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fraud, Fakery, Lies and a Dose of Reality – “Explaining reality is a tough nut to crack. Truth, at least in this country, is avoided like the plague, as people literally run in all directions in order to escape the possibility of learning the truth; due to the fact that accepting it requires responsibility, and therefore action.” – Gary D. Barnett
Cole Tomas Allen and the Woman in the Polkadot Dress – “Dementia Don says this would not have happened if he was allowed to finish building his gold-plated ballroom. Fox News is having a field day this morning. Bold red headlines for an assassination attempt that was not an assassination attempt. The “shooter,” now predictably called a “lone wolf,” did not threaten Trump or anyone else in at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. It is said he ran through an area where the Secret Service stood on their hands and shot an agent who was not seriously injured. according to the New York Post. “Federal Election Commission records show he donated $25 to Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign in October 2024.” See how it fits snugly in the MAGA macrocosm? It’s nothing if not a uniparty scrimmage. This Allen character is a Democrat, blood meat for the never ending factional storylines they perpetually distract us with while they start wars and arrange insider trading for their billionaire buddies.” – Kurt Nimmo
Trump Fakes Another Assassination Attempt At White House Dinner – “But if you want to know just how fake this is, listen to what Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said just a couple of hours before the supposed shooting: “There will be shots fired!”” – The WinePress – WELL YOU KNOW, HE’S GOT TO DO SOMETHING, HE’S DOWN IN THE POLLS, HE’S LOSING HIS BASE, HE TACOS EVERY DAY ON THE WAR, HIS BUDDY BIBI HAS GOT PROSTATE CANCER, EPSTEIN IS STILL HAUNTING HIM. WHAT’S A MAN TO DO!!!!
Why Does Every Attempt On Trump’s Life Come With A Pre-Built Political Agenda Attached? – “Three attempts. Three lone wolves with no credible ideological documentation. Three events that each arrived precisely when the political conditions were most favorable for a rally-around-the-flag moment. Three events after each of which the president’s poll numbers moved in a specific direction. At some point a pattern stops being a coincidence and starts being a brief.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf – VERY GOOD READ AND ANALYSIS FROM THE WISE WOLF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHCD gunman Cole Allen sent anti-Trump manifesto, said he wanted to take out Trump officials: ‘The Friendly Federal Assassin’ – Steven Nelson and Chris Nesi – KNEW THAT WOULD BE COMING. MANIFESTOS SEEM TO BE THE BIG THING WITH ALL THESE SHOOTERS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Was Inside the Washington Hilton Tonight. The Security Was Downright Awful. – “I was certain I was going to face endless security lines before I went inside. Metal detectors, patdowns, you name it. After all, President Donald Trump was going to be in that room. No way they were going to take any chances at an event like this — particularly not after the scares he faced in Butler, PA, and South Florida. And on the periphery, the security protocol certainly checked many of the boxes. But here’s the thing: Getting past that security was comically easy. All you had to do was show — not even a ticket to the dinner, or even any of the pre-parties — but just some sort of evidence that you had business inside the Hilton on Saturday night.” – Joe DePaolo – AS I MADE A COMMENT TO THE WINEPRESS ARTICLE ABOVE; AS MUCH AS THEY ALL WENT ON ABOUT HOW GOOD EVERYBODY REACTED, THERE’S MORE SECURITY FROM THE TSA AT AIRPORTS AGAINST NORMAL CITIZENS!!!!!

EU Age Verification App Hacked In Under Two Minutes…And It Gets WORSE! – “Here’s a question: how long does it take a security consultant to hack the EU’s new “technically ready” age verification app? And here’s the answer: under two minutes. Undoubtedly, the story of the EU’s spiffy new age verification app and the glaring technical errors that immediately made a mockery of its claims to “technical readiness” is remarkable enough. But this isn’t just an amusing story of the EU’s technocratic incompetence. It’s actually a case study in cyber false flags. And that story tells us something important about the coming digital dystopia.” – James Corbett
Palantir Inks Deal With USDA To Manage Farmland And Control America’s Agriculture Data, Taking Over The Nation’s Food Supply – “This is now the 27th US Department that has contracted Palantir. This data will eventually be tokenized and tracked on blockchain ledgers and mitigated by AI. Food and farming becomes permissioned.” – The WinePress

There are other factors involved, such as pesticides being used on fresh fruits and vegetables.” – Kelli Ballard – I WOULD TEND TO BELIEVE IT’S MORE THE LATTER, THE PESTICIDES!!!!!

Trump Backs Down from His Boasting and Blustering about Iran’s Defeat – “It seems only a few hours ago that Trump was boasting that Iran to save itself from annihilation was anxious to make a deal at the renewing of negotiations in Pakistan. This puzzled many as Iran itself had announced that it wasn’t going to any negotiation and would not negotiate with Trump’s two Jewish real estate developers or US VP Vance. When Trump realized that no Iranians were going to appear, he quickly declared that he held all the cards and said negotiations could await Iran’s acceptance of his terms. For Trump, that is what negotiation is. You accept his terms or get bombed into the stone age. However, it seems that it is the US presence in the Middle East, now called West Asia, and Israel that will be bombed into the stone age if the conflict renews. For the Iranians negotiations are pointless. The source of the violence in the Middle East is Israel’s Zionist policy of Greater Israel.” – Paul Craig Roberts
Donald Trump Goes to War Using America’s sons and daughters to devastate the world. Digging a bit deeper, one discovers that the four generations of the Trump family in the United States has never included a single member, and that includes Donald’s children, that has ever done military service either by being drafted or as a volunteer. Avoiding military service would be rather unremarkable but for the president’s apparent obsession with sending young Americans off to countries that they would not be able to find on a map to kill foreigners, either directly or by proxy, who do not in any way threaten the United States.” – Philip Giraldi
The Gleaming City of the Future will Rise on Gaza’s Blasted Heath – The Fever Dream of Our AI Overlords. And the Trump kids. – “You cannot conceive the scope of this plan.

Striking videos – “Seeing is believing. The Ku Klux Klan and other SPLC-supported groups are accused of racial hatred and violence. Yet, when challenged to produce evidence, the accusers often come up short-handed. But there is no shortage of evidence of violence against white people. With the proliferation of video devices and the advent of the internet, violence against whites can no longer be hidden.’ – Kenn Gividen – MORE BLACK AGAINST WHITE VIOLENCE FROM KENN. MAKES YOU WONDER HOW MANY ARE OUT THERE THAT DON’T GET RECORDED. HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU SEEN WHITE PEOPLE DO THIS TO BLACKS. I’LL BET NOT VERY OFTEN. MAKES YOU WONDER WHAT IN THE HELL IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!!!
Who’s Up for a Fundamental Reassessment of US Security Strategy? – “Americans are aware of two things about the ongoing US-Israel war against Iran: It’s costing tons of money, and all things considered, our leadership has chosen the wrong strategy. To win any war based on contrived motivations and shaky assumptions, we would have to compensate with an extremely elegant political strategy, a powerful military strategy, and a disciplined and creative decade of logistical and technological preparation for such a war.” – Karen Kwiatkowski
How Much Is Enough for National Defense? – “What is the right amount of money to spend on national defense? It’s not an easy question because answers depend on goals. On commitments. So much of what America spends on “defense” goes to weapons makers like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and RTX. It’s advertised as military Keynesianism but it’s more like corporate welfare for what used to be called the merchants of death. I don’t value weapons as “investments.” I see weapons as Ike saw them in 1953. They are a form of theft. They steal funding from schools, hospitals, libraries, fire stations, and other much-needed improvements to national services and infrastructure. Yes, America has to defend itself, but an imperial military that is vastly overfunded is an albatross around the neck of a declining republic.” – Bill Astore
Democrat Voter Fraud in America is Legion (VIDEO) with Dr. Jerome Corsi – ” Dr. Corsi contends, “I think this is probably one of the biggest stories in America. The vote cheating by Democrats is legion. I mean it’s rampant. You’ve got 29 states that refuse to turn over to the Department of Justice (DOJ) their state voter registration data bases because they know they are packed with people that don’t exist, illegal immigrants and dead people. These voter rolls are a disgrace.”” – Greg Hunter
Sweden to Begin Rationing Public’s Energy Use If Iran War Continues – “Sweden’s government is warning that energy rationing could soon become a reality if disruptions tied to the Iran conflict continue to strain global fuel supplies, underscoring growing economic pressure across Europe. Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson confirmed that while rationing has not yet been implemented, the government is actively preparing for that scenario as uncertainty surrounding energy markets intensifies.” – David Lindfield
Israel’s Plot To Turn Lebanon Into A Failed State May Backfire Enormously – “Israel’s plot to turn Lebanon into a failed state is decades in the making, but the methods with which it is now aiming to do so are new and frightening. If Israel continues on its current trajectory, the Gaza strategy may be enacted on a Lebanese population—which is much larger in size—in addition to an attempt to sow civil war.” – Robert Inlakesh
Ukraine War: Untangling the Current Disinfo Cloud. What Truly Caused Russian Strategic Shift? – “Much of Russia’s recent activity has come in unexpected quarters, particularly in the Sumy and Kharkov regions: This strategy is forcing Ukraine to defend the border. As stated previously, one of the things these advancements on the border buffer zones does tell us is that Russia appears to not view the situation as critical, but continues to invest in the long-term development of the war by stretching Ukrainian forces in non-critical areas.” – Simplicius

Is China Selling US Treasuries? AI View, Consensus View, the Right View – “Here are three viewpoints, one is correct. Meanwhile the US runs a trade deficit with China every month. In doing so, China receives US dollars. What does it do with them? If China does do something with them, then what does the receiving entity do with them? This key understanding is why foreign holdings of US treasuries are at a record. Yet, the consensus view is countries are dumping US treasuries.” – Mish

Europe Gas Prices Reach $7.15 a Gallon – ” more than 70% above the average U.S. The retail gasoline price is well above China’s national level of $5.5 per gallon, according to official figures. Meanwhile, European benchmark natural gas prices are up by 38% compared with one year ago, while U.S. natural gas prices are down significantly, almost 26%, according to the latest Bloomberg figures. However, the problem is not just expensive energy; it is a structural burden on households and businesses in two regions where average salaries are also significantly lower than in the United States. These elevated energy taxes come on top of much higher wage, corporate, indirect, and environmental taxes. And no, it is not compensated with radically better public services.” – Daniel Lacalle
Silver Fear Cycles: Same Story, Different Day (VIDEO) – “David Morgan reviews the year-to-date performance of metals and energy, noting strong gains in aluminum, tin, nickel, zinc, crude oil, heating oil, and gasoline, while gold leads the precious metals and silver remains positive but appears to be trading in a range. His view is that gold, silver, and the white metals may continue moving sideways through summer or longer unless an extraordinary event breaks the market out of its current pattern. He emphasizes that silver has already had a major run, but he does not believe it has reached its final top.” – David Morgan

That’s the floor. And yes—there have been multiple occasions at 50% below spot. Rare? Sure. But not mythical. The Hunting Ground: eBay! Most people think it’s picked clean. It’s not. It’s just misunderstood—and that’s where the edge is. ⚡ “Isn’t That Risky?” That’s the common objection. Wrong.Plenty of sellers make promises. eBay actually enforces them” – Kerry Lutz – NOT SURE I WOULD DO THIS, BUT IT IS AN OPTION!!
