THE BIG PICTURE

It’s Not About “Immigrants” – “This business – cheered by many supporters of President Trump – of snatching “immigrants” off the street and shoving them into government vans, ostensibly to be deported, is not about deporting these “immigrants.” Turn off the spigot of “free” stuff and the freeloaders who are the problem would either selfdeport or get jobs and play by the same rules that citizens are expected to – at which point there’s no more problem. Most American citizens do not care whether a guy who hails from Mexico is in the crew putting shingles on the roof of their house; they are pissed that they’re paying taxes to support “benefits” for people who are not paying taxes,  So – what is this business (snatching “immigrants” off the street and throwing them into the back of a van) really all about? It is about normalizing this business of snatching people off the street and throwing them into government vans. Note the missing word. This is not about “immigrants.” That is the window dressing. Just as the Patriot Act and Homeland Security are not about those things, either.” – Eric Peters

The Vampire State: Feeding on Our Fear, Freedom and Finances – “Monsters don’t always come wrapped in the trappings of horror or myth. Most often, monsters in the real world look like ordinary people. They walk among us. They smile for the cameras. They promise protection and prosperity even as they feed on fear and obedience. All is not as it seems. We are living in two worlds. There’s the world we’re shown—the bright, propaganda-driven illusion manufactured by the government and its corporate sponsors—and the world we actually inhabit, where economic inequality widens, real agendas are buried beneath layers of Orwellian doublespeak, and “freedom” is rationed out in controlled, legalistic doses by militarized police and federal agents.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

“Madman Across the Water” – “Cutting the wheat from the chaff, Donald Trump, must have grown up without the virtue of ethics—as did most, if not all, of his cabinet. As a result, Madman Trump has no qualms conducting piracy/murder on uncharged foreign nationals—across the water. Today, in fishing camps along the coast of Venezuela, women and children mourn the loss of fathers murdered by Trump—fishermen, blown apart in outboard motor boats, that would require many refuels to get drugs into proximity to the United States. Trump has a $50M bounty on the capture of Maduro (taxpayer dollars), who Trump claims stole the election (Trump is messing in an election?) ” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

It PAYS to be President – “It paid quite a lot actually. It also paid to be the son of a president as we learned in the Biden days. The side note by Eric Trump that the Trump family crypto business will soon be “embody the future of finance in America” is also interesting because it raises a prospect I’ve already been advancing, which is that perhaps the future digital currency of America—as Trump crashes the dollar’s global trade status by crashing global trade—will be issued by World Liberty Financial or will even be $Trump. The Trump brothers’ efforts have been a whopping success In the first half of this year, the Trump Organization’s income soared 17-fold to $864 million from $51 million a year earlier, according to Reuters…. What a great setup that would to become the Don of money laundering. The team approach exhibited so successfully here by those skilled in these kinds of sales makes Hunter & Pa look like mere pikers, as the Trump family’s gains from selling access to the president approach a billion dollars (and that’s all profit)” – David Haggith

Pre-Engineered Civil War: 42 Million Americans Will Lose Food Stamps – “Perhaps the most critical component of the ongoing government shutdown that the radical communist Democrat party have been planning for is civil war, and to that end food stamps will be paused on November 1st.” – 2nd Smartest Guy in the World

Order Out Of Chaos: 42 Million Americans To No Longer Receive SNAP Benefits Starting November, As Fear Of Civil Unrest Looms As US Economy Collapses – “USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins has been on a media tour blaming Democrats for everything. The majority of SNAP benefits go to children, including vets and the elderly.” – The WinePress

There IS a way to pay for food stamps in November – “41 million Americans don’t all have to go hungry at once, starting in 3 days. And no food riots all over America.” – Jon Rappoport

How Food Industry Lobbyists Keep the Food-Stamp Gravy Train Going – “Needless to say, lobbyists and activists who favor the food stamp program have been working furiously to make sure that the program is not interrupted.While the media narrative has focused on low-income recipients, it often ignores the role of corporate and industry lobbyists who work to increase food stamp spending and to ensure the program remains permanent. Farmers, “Big Ag,” grocery retailers, beverage companies, and other industry players are very active in lobbying members of Congress to ensure that food-stamp dollars keep flowing. ” – Ryan McMaken

At LEAST 1.5 Million Non-citizens Receive Food Stamps and many more receive housing, medical and other handouts. (VIDEO) – “Generational welfare isn’t just a talking point — it’s real. There are families where Grandma was on food stamps, Mom’s on food stamps, and now the kids are growing up expecting the same. They know the system, they know the paperwork, and they teach it to the next generation. For too many, government dependence has replaced hard work. Now before anyone loses their mind — yes, I’ve been there.” – M.D. Creekmore

Reflections from the Heart of the Empire: Imperial Disasters and Voter Revolts Ahead – “Richard Wolff is saying that Russia has sent nuclear warheads to Iran. I am unable to confirm this, but if true it means that Putin no longer trusts the American government to prevent Israel from using a nuclear weapon, and is back in Southwest Asia, BAY-bee! If so, way to go Uncle Vlad!. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said that he has over 5000 Russian anti-air missiles armed and ready to launch, and he ain’t lying, y’all. Military.com explains what the recent influx of Russian aid means: For American commanders, that means every operation and incident now happens under the threat of Venezuelan retaliation — a situation the current force is not ready to handle.” – Ohio Barbarian – THE BARBARIAN’S WEEKLY UPDATE ON THE U.S’s  STUPIDITY OF WAR MONGERING!!!

Democrats Must Be Punished for Their Lawfare – “Because no one has been punished, Democrats continue to threaten conservatives. The Democrat party is the undisputed champion of lawfare — the corrupt practice of using the legal system to persecute perceived political enemies and deprive non-Democrats of their constitutional rights. Donald Trump had a clean criminal record for the first seventy years of his life. After he became the Republican standard-bearer, ” – J.B. Shurk

Mamdani’s Wishful Thinking on Tax Revenues – “New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has pledged a battery of new social spending if he wins the city’s November election: $10 billion for housing, $1 billion for a new community safety department, at least half a billion to subsidize buses, billions more for free childcare, and untold sums for government grocery stores—a historically loss-making venture.” – Ryan Bourne and Nathan Miller

Trump hyped this Venezuelan gang to wage war (VIDEO0 – “Kei Pritsker explains how Trump turned Tren De Aragua, a previously obscure Venezuelan gang that had already been crushed by Maduro’s security forces, into a national boogeyman, then used it to justify his naval siege of Venezuela.” – The Grayzone

The Regime Changers Work for the President – “Yes, blame Rubio for his part in this unfolding disaster, but it is Trump’s policy and he deserves most of the blame for it. It is true that Rubio has been the driving force behind Trump’s aggressive Venezuela policy in the second term just as he was in the first. When Rubio was nominated to be Secretary of State, I warned that he would have a baleful influence on U.S. foreign policy, especially when it came to Latin America. On anything related to Venezuela and Cuba, Rubio has always been an ideological fanatic. Rubio’s role in the administration practically guaranteed that Trump’s policies in the region would be hardline and interventionist.” – Daniel Larison

Barack Obama Proposes a Scary Idea for Social Media – “It’s hard not to see where this road leads. In a recent conversation with journalist Heather Cox Richardson, whose Substack he personally endorsed, Obama said the quiet part out loud: “We’re going to have to start experimenting with new forms of journalism” with “government regulatory constraints.” Cyber expert and former Trump official Mike Benz reacted to Obama’s remarks, saying: “F*ck this guy. His whole apparatus is set up to end the First Amendment. He’s coordinating with foreign governments to end free speech in America. And he spied and lied and did every dirty trick in the book along the way.”” – The Vigilant Fox

Putin’s Offer To Extend The New START Is A Goodwill Gesture To Trump – “Goodwill gestures are meant to make the recipient trust whoever does them with the expectation that they’ll then be reciprocated for improving their relations.” – Andrew Korybko
