THE BIG PICTURE

The Golden Idol Machine – “The Anti-Human Nature of Fame. There is something deeply unnatural about being famous—or even semi-famous—outside the borders of your own community. Once, reputation was earned slowly, through presence and action. Now, you can be ‘known’ by millions who don’t actually know you at all. I’ve watched this machine operate across different worlds. In tech, I saw smart friends get their faces on magazine covers and slowly transform into their own press releases. In the brewery business, I watched food industry people inflate their own importance, turning craft into performance, substance into brand. Most recently, in medical freedom activism, I’ve seen principled people get seduced by follower counts, optimizing for viral moments or proximity to power instead of genuine change.” – Joshua Stylman  – GOOD READ FROM JOSHUA!!!

FDA Approved Moderna COVID Shot for Kids Behind Kennedy’s Back—Two HHS Aides Fired – “HHS Secretary RFK Jr. was “on vacation,” not looped in on FDA approval of Moderna’s COVID-19 mRNA jab for children.” – Jon Fleetwood  – ON VACATION AND DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT IT. RIGHT! EVER HEAR OF A CELL PHONE BOBBY!!!!! 

Medical Press is Full of BS – Trump Diagnosed with Vascular Disease – “As expected, the medical press and the government are telling us only part of the story. The president underwent a comprehensive examination, including diagnostic vascular studies, bilateral lower extremities, and venous Doppler ultrasounds, which revealed chronic venous insufficiency, “a benign and common condition.” What they are not saying is that anyone of Trump’s age, under a lot of stress through many years, with a junk food addiction (Donald Trump is widely known for his love of junk food, and he’s never made a secret of it), is prone to a lot more than just venous insufficiency.” – Dr. Sircus

Moderna Founder Launches Aerial-spraying of RNA to Alter Gene Expression of Crops mRNA for Plants? (VIDEO) – “You’ve heard of Moderna. Now meet Terrana.” – UNSHADOWED

Popular Heartburn Drugs Linked to Heart Attacks – “PPI heartburn drugs have been linked to a 16% higher risk of heart attacks and double the risk of dying from cardiovascular events, even in people with no history of heart disease Contrary to common belief, most reflux is caused by too little stomach acid, not too much, and PPIs worsen this problem by further suppressing acid production” – Dr. Joseph Mercola

How the rise of green tech is feeding another environmental crisis – “A planned joint enterprise between SQM and Chile’s state mining company Codelco has just secured regulatory approval for a quota to extract at least 2.5 million metric tonnes of lithium metal equivalent per year and boost production until 2060. Chile’s government has framed the plans as part of the global fight against climate change and a source of state income. The process extracts vast amounts of water in this already drought-prone region. Sara Plaza, whose family also raised animals in the same community as Raquel, is anxious about the changes she has seen in her lifetime. “The salt flats produce lithium, but one day it will end. Mining will end. And what are the people here going to do? Without water, without agriculture. What are they going to live on?” “Maybe I won’t see it because of my age, but our children, our grandchildren will.”” – Ione Wells

Merry Pranksters on Parade – “Let’s not pretend that RussiaGate was ever anything but a “treasonous conspiracy” and a “years’ long coup” as bluntly labeled by the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) on Friday. The election prank launched by Hillary Clinton’s campaign turned into an overt sedition op led by President Barack Obama to overthrow his elected successor, Donald Trump. DNI Tulsi Gabbard went even further and proffered criminal referrals on all this to the US Attorney General. If you think this is not extremely serious, you are not paying attention. The New York Times was not paying attention in its Sunday edition. Not a word about this historic action on the paper’s website landing page.  Meanwhile, DNI Gabbard went on Maria Bartiromo’s Sunday confab and warned of more info releases coming this week. Sooner or later AG Pam Bondi will have to announce that a case based on that referral is under construction. You might also note that there are no higher crimes under our law than treason, as explicitly spelled out in the DNI report. The DNI also stated flatly on Sunday, “There must be indictments.” If you think DNI Gabbard went forward without consulting some crack constitutional lawyers, you’ll be disappointed.” – James Howard Kunstler

Obama’s Real Legacy Comes into Focus – “Treason is a capital offense with no statute of limitations. So consider how explosive Gabbard’s allegations are. General Michael Flynn, President Trump’s short-lived National Security Advisor, assessed the situation succinctly: “This is surreal.” As a target of the Deep State’s treacherous lawfare operations, General Flynn views the workings in Washington, D.C., with supreme clarity: “This is why [Gabbard] was attacked so relentlessly over the past few weeks and months. They knew if there were anyone with the guts to investigate the attempted coup, it would be her.” ” – J.B. Shurk

Tulsi Gabbard teases more details of ‘Obama coup plot’ – “The US intel chief has vowed to hold those behind the “treasonous” Russiagate conspiracy accountable” -RT

Obama’s Criminal Plot To Oust President Trump – “Tulsi Gabbard’s Documents Link Obama To Russia Collusion Hoax. Claims of Democrat corruption are hardly new. Discussions and defenses of these claims have given birth to more than few Substacks, including this one. That Democrat politicians have actively sought to subvert the Constitional order in this country is a recurring theme among my “Political Matters” articles. Only Tulsi Gabbard didn’t just merely make such claims. She proceeded to back them up.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Report finds ‘dehumanizing’ conditions in Florida immigration detention centers – “The 92-page report, “‘You Feel Like Your Life is Over’: Abusive Practices at Three Florida Immigration Detention Centers Since January 2025,” was released this week by Americans for Immigrant Justice, Human Rights Watch and Sanctuary of the South. The organizations-an immigrant-rights law firm, a global human-rights watchdog and a worker-led collective-reviewed documents and interviewed 17 current and former detainees, along with family members and attorneys.” – Verónica Egui Brito  – SO THEY BASE A 92 PAGE REPORT ON 17 INTERVIEWS, AND HOW MANY IMMIGRANTS WERE RETAINED DURING THIS SAME PERIOD. THE DAILY AVERAGE LACCORDING TO ANOTHER ARTICLE IS 56,400. KEEP IN MIND SOROS FUNDS HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH AND HAS DONATED ONCE TO AMERICANS FOR IMMIGRANT JUSTICE. MORE SENSATIONAL JOURNALISM!!!!

Reflections from the Heart of the Empire: Bells Toll Among the Warning Signs – “An anonymous US official says that Netanyahu is “a madman” because he won’t stop bombing everybody. Anonymous US officials are clearly anti-Semitic and should all be sent to Alligator Alcatraz immediately. The Irish Parliament is set to boycott everything associated with illegal Israeli settlements. US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee responded with the most diplomatic statement ever: Did the Irish fall into a vat of Guinness & propose something so stupid that it would be attributed to act of diplomatic intoxication? It will harm Arabs as much as Israelis. Sober up Ireland! Ah, that brings back memories of the good old days when we only had to worry about undesirable European immigration.” – Ohio Barbarian  – WEEKLY RECAP FROM THE BARBARIAN!!

The U.S. Enables the ‘Madman’ Netanyahu – “Is it any wonder that Netanyahu assumes that he can get away with international aggression when there are never any penalties for anything that he does?” – Daniel Larison

Gaza Isn’t Starving, It Is Being Starved – “Unless something drastically changes, things can be expected to get much worse very rapidly. Meanwhile Israeli forces are setting new records with their massacres of starving civilians seeking aid, with 85 killed in a single day on Sunday. So what’s the plan here? Do we just sit and watch Israel starve Gaza to death with the support of our own governments? And then what? We just go along with our lives, knowing that that happened? That this is what we are as a society?” – Caitlin Johnstone

Screaming – Nuclear War Is Coming! “All This is Made Up to Scare You”. – “How wise is it to blast out threats of nuclear war almost non-stop? The financial investment advisory guru, Martin Armstrong, has just issued another such warning to the world: Six weeks ago, legendary financial and geopolitical cycle analyst Martin Armstrong was signaling a big turn toward war. Now, Armstrong says, “The chances of war with a nuclear exchange is at 100%. . .. Plan on it, this is coming.” The continuous yelling “Wolf” is obnoxious in many ways, because it has the intention to bring fear to the people, to make them morally weak, as they are afraid. The long-term effect is that people do not believe the warning anymore, even if and when it could become true.” -Peter Koenig  – THE VIDEO PETER IS REFERRING TO WAS LINKED YESTERDAY.

The Real Meaning of the State Department RIF – “Bloat has been a chronic problem at Foggy Bottom. This is a start RIP—er, RIF, State Department as we knew you. State is a bloated, corpulent, insular, risk-averse, academically inbred, stifling, overly bureaucratic, back-stabbing, stodgy, mid-20th century institution that lost its mojo after the Cold War ended; everyone who worked there would admit it if they weren’t afraid of the “corridor reputation” that drives promotions, assignments, and retirement gigs at think tanks and universities.”- Peter Van Buren.

RESIST THE NEW STABLECOIN SYSTEM! DO NOT COMPLY.. HERE IS SIMPLE ACTION YOU CAN TAKE NOW. (VIDEO) – ” I’m going to outline for you action that you must take to resist this new beast stable coin system. It’s an incredible thing to witness how it’s getting no coverage, virtually none. after President Trump signed this new monetary system into law. Where is it? You don’t hear it. Anything. CNBC, Bloomberg, Fox Business, is all kept over here. It’s a deception mechanism. Again, look over here. Focus on this whole freaking Epstein thing. Whatever else they want to throw at you, don’t look over here, which is going to be lifechanging to you. I want to talk about a grander deception that’s going on that people don’t understand the difference between a stable coin or this stable coin system which we just got and a cryptocurrency. Now neither of these are sovereign neither are sovereign. I’m just going to outline what they are for you so you have an idea of what you’re facing or what you should know. ” – Gregory Mannarino

Trade And China Point To Where The World Is Headed. – “Trade tensions are set to dominate this week – particularly for Europe and Japan. While Trump upsets his allies, the global nexus is moving to the wealth concentration in South East Asia and the future evolution of tech – nothing lasts forever.” – Bill Blain

The Cure For High Prices Is…. High Prices – “”We survived everything. But we can’t survive customers who refuse to buy cars at any price.” Oh well, gee, you deserve customers who will pay for a bunch of crap they don’t want, on a vehicle that will refuse to run if any of it fails, and which you then think you have the right to lock said customer in at $200/hr to “service” it? Uh, no you don’t. Why? Because consumers want a car but they refuse to put up with this crap including forced “surprises” that ruin the value of their vehicle without warning and were intentionally included by the manufacturer and sold by you as a dealer and no, you can’t “make financing” more attractive since the problem is price and reliability, not terms. An example: I refuse to purchase a vehicle where the “infotainment” screen, if the electronics for it or the screen itself, fails, it is single-sourced at the dealer, it costs $2,000 and the car will not operate reasonably without it because, for example, I cannot select heat, air conditioning and defrost without that screen.” – Karl Denninger

The Rich and Powerful Are Hoarding Gold Like Never Before – “Central banks are buying gold like never before. Russia just nationalized a major gold miner, Tether launched a “digital gold” token while billionaires are doubling down on bullion. The message is clear: Owning gold is no longer optional…” – Peter Reagan

It Will Take More than Low Interest Rates to Make Houses Affordable – ” Mortgages for single-family homes closely follow the 10-year yield, and, as the 10-year yield has risen in recent years, the average 30-year mortgage more than doubled. Ity rose from under three percent in mid 2021 to above seven percent by late 2023. It has remained above six percent ever since. Meanwhile, home prices continued to rise well into mid 2025. This combination of rising home prices and rising mortgage rates has made housing unaffordable for a growing share of prospective homebuyers.” – Ryan McMaken

“Reserve Currency” My Eye! – “The yield on the 30-year US Treasury bond just crossed the 5.0% mark for the first time in 17 years. So it might be useful to revisit where we have been lo these many decades. We are referring to the long bond’s utterly fabricated 54 year journey since the Camp David event in August 1971. In fact, neither the 12 men/women on the FOMC, nor the one man or woman who is temporarily domiciled in the Oval Office each four years nor the clown car battalions on Capitol Hill who mostly spend a lifetime there, are competent to set interest rates. That’s a job for free, flexible, dynamic, competitive, information-rich private markets, not an agency of the state.” – David Stockman

Warren Buffett’s quiet moves send shockwaves through Wall Street: ‘Canary in the coal mine’ – “During the first half of 2025, Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway sold more than $3.2 billion in shares tied to the banking industry, including a $1 billion exit from Citigroup, a $2 billion reduction in Bank of America, while also trimming holdings in Capital One. The moves were disclosed through SEC filings and confirmed by analysts monitoring Berkshire’s quarterly portfolio updates.” – James Gordon

1 Thessalonians 2:14-15    For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:  Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
