THE BIG PICTURE

Secret ‘Antichrist’ Conferences. Robot Factories. Greenland Annexation. What the Hell Is Going On? – “I Voted for Trump Twice. Now I’m Watching Him Help Billionaires Build a Techno-Fascist Nightmare.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf and Lily-Rose Dawson

Prophecy and mythology – “The word “debunked” gets thrown around an awful lot by the leftist media, and it’s amazing how often it really boils down to “we said it’s false and that’s all you need to know.” In 2009, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin created a sensation when she claimed that government-run healthcare would inevitably lead to the creation of bureaucratic boards responsible for deciding who should and shouldn’t receive treatment. It’s from this charge that we got the term “death panel,” which became a near constant reference during the congressional debate over the passage of the Affordable Care Act. Palin was called a loon and a crank. Fifteen years after Palin’s remark, disability advocate Krista Carr testified before members of the Canadian parliament that her organization receives weekly reports of medical assistance in dying (MAID) services being suggested unprompted to disabled individuals during routine, non-terminal care visits. Who could have predicted that government-controlled healthcare, combined with legalized euthanasia, would eventually lead to the sick and uncomfortable being told to kill themselves? Where does Palin go for her apology?” – Tom Knighton

4 Things To Pray When Making Decisions – “When you’re just not sure what God is telling you to do” – Kate Dreston .

ENSO: The Pacific’s Climate Powerhouse – “The overlooked engine behind global temperature spikes and U.S. weather whiplash. To understand ENSO, let’s start with the basics – no advanced physics required, just some ocean and atmosphere fundamentals. The El Niño-Southern Oscillation is a natural climate pattern in the tropical Pacific Ocean that flips between three phases: El Niño (warm), La Niña (cool), and neutral. It’s driven by interactions between the ocean and the atmosphere, specifically trade winds, sea surface temperatures (SSTs), and air pressure differences. Here’s how it works: ” – Dr. Matthew Wielick

HHS Secretary RFK Jr. Announces New Dietary Guidelines Elevating The Radical Notion Americans Should Eat Real Food. “Protein And Healthy Fats Are Essential And We’re Ending The War On Saturated Fats.” – Celia Farber

Scientists Create Fully Autonomous Micro Robots That Can THINK, Swim, Swarm In Groups and Survive For Months On Light – “Humanity is getting another step closer to the Technocratic Transhumanist Agenda, in which nano and microrobots will not only perform sensing functions but would have the goal according to Ray Kurzweil, to replace humans Atom by Atom. What is so special about these new robots? They are fully autonomous, have a full computer system within them and can think for themselves!” – Ana Maria Mihalcea, MD, PhD

“Ending the Grip of The Neocons” – “Col. Doug Macgregor was talking with Andrew Napolitano the other day – the day after Trump channeled his inner Chimp and “regime changed” Venezuela on behalf of (among others) his big business buddies in the oil and other natural resources extraction businesses – when he mentioned what RFK, Jr. said to a crowd at a Trump rally back in 2024. It is worth remembering: Don’t you want a president, Kennedy asked, who will “end the grip of the neocons?” By which he meant the Israel Firsters who pretend to be “conservative” so long as it advances the interests of Israel.” – Eric Peters

Trump Embraces the World and Breaks it – “Trump’s team became surprisingly outspoken—even transparent—about their imperial designs today. Team Trump spent today doubling down on US imperialism in surprisingly stark language about the United States’ right to take over and control whatever it wants! I’ve never heard such a blatant embrace of imperialism in the US before.” – David Haggith

Reflections from the Heart of the Empire: Misadventures and Distractions – “No, Palestine, I did not forget you. No, Zionists, I didn’t forget you, either, and I think I will live long enough to see the death of your dark, atavistic dream because It is also inevitable that our Mad Emperor will face severe backlash from his latest misadventure in Venezuela. Ipsos did a snap poll, and it is not good news for the Man with the Golden Crapper.” – Ohio Barbarian

Stop the Steal: Projection, Retaliation, and the Theft of Our Republic – “There’s an old saying that when you point a finger at someone, there are three fingers pointing back at you. It’s what psychologists refer to as projection—the act of accusing others of the very misconduct one is engaged in. While politicians of all political stripes are guilty of projection, Donald Trump, aptly dubbed a “master of projection,” could teach a master class in accusing others of wrongdoing of which he is guilty.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

Hey, POTUS, Venezuela’s Orinoco Belt Ain’t No Ghawar, Part 2 – “The Venezuela saga gets more cockamamie by the day. It turns out that the predicates for kidnapping the president of a country that poses no threat whatsoever to America’s Homeland security are about as threadbare (and even comical) as they come. For instance, did the DOJ writers of the superseding indictment of Maduro and his misses not turn bright red with embarrassment when penning this gem: “Possession of machine guns and destructive devices” and “conspiracy to possess machine guns and destructive devices” in furtherance of the narco-terrorism and cocaine importation conspiracies. WTF! For better or worse, the man was the president of a sovereign nation-state, and the very essence of such institutions is that they have all the guns or at least most of the big, really lethal ones such as military-style machine guns.” – David Stockman

What Would Smedley Butler Say about Venezuela? – “A Banana Republic dependent on oil to sustain its living standards, problems with heavy, high sulfur content crude, butthurt Exxon-Mobile and ConocoPhillips, and crippling U.S. sanctions” – John Leake

¡Don’t Cry For Me, Venezuela! Nicolás Maduro’s downfall and the future of the West.. – “If Maduro was, indeed, an illegitimate dictator, why hand the leadership baton to his equally illegitimate Vice President, Delcy Rodríguez, and not to the candidate who was, until five minutes ago, officially recognized by the US (and many others) as the country’s true leader, Edmundo González (or his Nobel Prize winning backer, María Corina Machado)? Was Maduro’s capture “pre-arranged,” as some have suggested, staged for all the world to see? ” – Joel Bowman

Boast Loudly and Swing a Big Stick – “An Exceptional Thugocracy. The Donroe Doctrine is really about military aggression without respect for international law. President Teddy Roosevelt famously said: “Speak softly and carry a big stick.” Favor diplomacy, but be prepared to use force when necessary. The Trumpian version is “Boast loudly and swing a big stick.” It’s the language of would-be conquerors, of imperators, of tyrants.” – Bill Astore

Trump and Rubio’s Gusano Cronies Teed Up to Loot Venezuela (VIDEO) with Max Blumenthal and Judge Napolitano – The Grayzone

U.S. Captures Russia-Linked Tanker After Naval Standoff in the North Atlantic – “U.S. forces have seized a Russia-flagged tanker in the North Atlantic after a dramatic pursuit that began near Venezuelan waters, marking a sharp escalation in Washington’s enforcement of its global blockade on sanctioned Venezuelan oil. According to the Wall Street Journal, Russia deployed naval assets — including a submarine — to escort the vessel through the North Atlantic and requested that U.S. forces cease pursuit. Some analysts note that the use of a submarine strongly suggests the operation involved more than routine sanctions evasion, with behavior resembling a protected military or intelligence transfer rather than a commercial oil shipment. The incident underscores the Trump administration’s willingness to enforce its Venezuela oil blockade far beyond the Caribbean.” – Tom Kool

Immigration Agents Surge Into Minneapolis in ‘Largest Operation Ever’ – “Thousands of federal agents and officers spread across the Minneapolis–St. Paul area Tuesday.” – Jill McLaughlin

ICE Agent Shoots Woman Attempting To Run Over Officer During Minneapolis Illegal Alien Crackdown – “A federal immigration officer shot and killed a person whom Homeland Security described as a “violent rioter,” while local Democratic lawmakers said she was a “legal observer,” after DHS said she attempted to run over an agent. Video of the deadly shooting has surfaced on X, showing an ICE agent asking the woman, who was blocking the street with an SUV, to step out of the vehicle. She did not comply and instead accelerated toward another agent, at which point the agent fired multiple rounds into the vehicle, striking the woman, who died moments later. New angle from the ICE involved shooting in Minneapolis shows the woman CLEARLY hitting the agent with her car before he fires at her” – Tyler Durden

Mamdani’s Clown Show Offers Its Opening Act – “World Cup tickets. Rising subway fares. Magical “briefings”. And he’s only been in office a week. Zohran Mamdani promised a political revolution. What New York received in his first hours as mayor was a seminar in how slimy, two-faced doubletalk can face-plant when its reality is laid bare.” – Quoth the Raven

EU Strategery – “The EU, so desperate to exert their dictatorial powers, to feel the exhilarating rush of adrenaline from smashing someone’s face with the butt of a rifle, has revealed itself. It is that rarest of all birds, both fascist and communist in its outlook on the world. Having been able to conquer most of Western Europe with a simple change in immigration policy it is heady with success, brazen and anxious to lead the entire world from a small office in Brussels. The aggressive, hostile EU is like a drunk trolling a bar looking for a fight. It’s a different world, now, and these peons who run the EU and NATO believe that because big brother might be able to beat up some drunk in a bar, inciting violence to invoke it is stupid. But that’s the course they’ve chosen. Only now, they seem to believe that they are the puppet masters of the world. It’s bold, I have to give them that, but anyone can see through their tactics.” – T.L. Davis

Germany Is Competing With Poland To Lead Russia’s Containment – “Regardless of whoever comes out on top in this rivalry, the US still wins since they’re both NATO members, but a NATO-Russian Non-Aggression Pact should follow in any case for managing tensions.” – Andrew Korybko

ECONOMIC NEWS 

Job openings slide to 2nd lowest level in 5 years as hiring remains sluggish – “U.S. employers posted far fewer jobs in November than the previous month, a sign that employers aren’t yet ramping up hiring even as growth has picked up.” -Christopher Rugaber

ADP Employment Report: +41,000, Mostly at Medium-Size Companies. Small Companies Had First Payroll Gain in 5 Months – “Private-sector job growth slowed to a crawl in the second half.” – Wolf Richter

Why Silver Is Not in a Bubble – “Amid silver’s recent surge following a long period of stagnation, a wave of articles and commentaries has emerged calling its rise an unsustainable bubble that’s about to burst and burn investors. I firmly disagree with their assessment, and in this report, I will prove that silver is not in a bubble by examining a wide range of valuation metrics.” – Jesse Colombo

Bank of America Escaping Shorts, Going NET Long & Calling Out $309 per Ounce Silver. – “Ratio-based target Widmer notes the current gold–silver ratio near 59:1 versus historical lows around 32:1 in 2011 and 14:1 in 1980.​ Applying those low ratios to a possible $5,000 gold price implies silver between roughly $135 and $309 per ounce.​” – The Silver Academy

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Winter Shelter Failure Points Canadians Ignore Until the House Becomes Unlivable – “By mid-winter, most Canadian households are no longer planning — they are committed. Heat sources are chosen, windows are sealed, routines are fixed, and fuel is already being consumed. This is precisely why winter shelter failures become dangerous. Once temperatures remain below freezing for weeks at a time, there is very little room left to adapt. Cold itself rarely forces people out of their homes. What actually does it are internal shelter failures:” – denob

What a Green Beret Would Say about Your Guns – “What Green Berets Understand About the Second Amendment. My friend used to say that he doesn’t see the Second Amendment as a talking point or a bumper sticker slogan, but as a practical recognition of human nature and history. Having seen fragile governments collapse and stable societies unravel much faster than anyone expected, he views civilian gun ownership as a stabilizing force rather than a threat.” – Justin K

Why Every Homestead Orchard Is a Medicine Cabinet in Disguise – Bill Heid

How Much Electricity Does a Pellet Stove Use? (Watts, Amps & Power Outage Backup) – “Most pellet stoves use 80–150 watts while running, with a brief startup draw of 300–500 watts. Most pellet stoves require electricity to run the auger, combustion fan, and exhaust fan, even though they burn pellets for heat. If you’re wondering how many watts or amps a pellet stove uses, or whether it can run during a power outage, this article answers both.” – Ken Jorgustin

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

“The Donroe Doctrine”: Are Cuba, Colombia And Mexico The Next Targets, Or Will Someone Else Be First Instead?- Michael Snyder

So… About That Trump–Venezuela Thing (VIDEO) – M.D. Creekmore

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.

SPECIAL VENEZUELAN NEWS ADDITION

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

When “the system” becomes “the enemy” –  “The lessons of international order for domestic systems. The US mission to venezuela, snatching maduro and his wife from their very home, shattering what was alleged to be a next gen Chinese air defense without a single loss of aircraft, and decapitating a (to many minds) illegitimate and certainly (to any reasonable mind) an oppressive government is a controversial act with widespread geopolitical ramifications that go beyond just Monroe Doctrine, energy, and intelligence community/NGO meddling (though it contains all these things). I shall perhaps dig into that in a later stack, but for the purposes of this one I’d like to speak of the tribal and systemic response to the operation in which all the predictable people are saying the predictable things” – El Gato Malo

Gangster Capitalism – “The Donroe Doctrine of Regional Dominance, Obedience, and Theft. The so-called Donroe Doctrine of hemispheric dominance represents the return of unapologetic gangster capitalism. The basic policy of the Trump administration recalls Michael Corleone, the mafia don in “The Godfather” saga. When his consigliere Tom Hagen asks Michael whether he has to wipe everyone out, Michael coldly replies “Just my enemies.” Anyone who defies the Corleone Family must be eliminated.” – Bill Astore  – ALSO READ CHRIS HEDGES ARTICLE FROM YESTERDAY, IT WAS SIMILAR IN NATURE!!!

Trump the neocon pulls trigger on regime change in Venezuela, and now all of that nation’s problems are our problems – “He ran on a platform of ending the nation-building exploits of the globalists, but now Donald J. Trump has outed himself as the quintessential globalist neocon. Will Iran be next?” – Leo Hohmann

The Merchant of Venezuela. – “The New Year begins on the B of Bang. As Trump shuffles to the preachers podium to explain his Venezuelan shenanigans he looks neither particularly wise nor servile. In fact, I’m half expecting him to announce a two-for-one property deal. Invest in a five-star beach front sand hotel in Gaza and receive a nice two-bedroom condo in Caracas absolutely free of any pound of flesh requirements in the future. I notice his voice and energy are ever weakening in public now. The words carry no punch, enthusiasm or fire anymore. He looks old, scripted, tired and dare I say it—bored. Of course, the Trumpster goes through the motions of explaining why the President of Venezuela and his wife are on a ship bound for the Southern District of New York to face US justice. Now, lest anyone forget the Southern District of New York is where justice goes to die in the United States. It is also where justice goes to suicide itself. It was Jeffrey Espteined outta this place a long, long time ago. So, the future for Mr and Mrs Maduro will be an end of days getting free legal advice from El Chapo in some god-forsaken US federal penitentiary.” – Gerry O’Neill

Trump To Maduro: “You’re Fired!” – “Donald Trump Is Expanding American Power By Wielding American Power. ” – Peter Nayland Kust  – ONE MUST ASK WHY ARE WE EXPANDING AMERICAN POWER, FOR WHAT PURPOSE!!!!

14 Points on Trump Kidnap of Venezuelan President Maduro on the Sixth Anniversary of the Trump Assassination of Haj Qassem Soleimani – “I have tried to collate some of the main talking points on the recent criminal events in Venezuela that have shocked the world in their lawlessness” – Vanessa Beeley – SOME GOOD POINTS FROM VANESSA!!

Maduro & Wife Seen Emerging At DEA Offices, Seemingly Calm, As Maduro Repeatedly Says “Happy New Year” in English; Social Media Floods With Clips Of Venezuelans Waking Up To The News, Weeping With Joy – “Maduro has been seen in at least three different sets of clothes, different colors, since his capture. I’m not sure what it means, if anything. Also, what does this thumbs up signify? That he is cooperating fully with the Trump administration?” – Celia Farber

Regime Tweaking, Not Regime Change, Is What The US Just Achieved In Venezuela – “This refers to keeping the targeted state’s power structure in place but after some (at times significant) changes that advance the meddling state’s interests.” – Andrew Korybko

Visualizing All Of The World’s Oil Reserves By Country – “Global oil reserves are highly concentrated. Venezuela ranks first with an estimated 303 billion barrels of oil reserves.” – Tyler Durden – THAT KIND OF SUMS IT UP, DOESN’T IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Venezuelan Fentanyl: Speedboats Can’t Cross Open Ocean and Other Lies They’re Hoping You Won’t Notice – “Or: ‘How Every Country Without a Western Bank Eventually Gets Liberated” -‘🐺The Wise Wolf

Trump Takes Over Caracas – “This morning’s questions from my Sputnik friends, and my answers. 1) What are the concrete objectives behind these US strikes? Is this primarily a regime-change operation, an attempt to assert control over Venezuela’s natural resources, or a combination of both? My Thoughts: It has to be a combination of both, but that seems almost too simplistic. Trump and the people around him seek control over energy and some concept of support for the dollar in the next decade, and they want a major operational position in South America.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

Trump’s Golden Hour: Historically Flawless Military Masterclass or Just Another Theatrical Production? – “For the Sake of US Supremacy: It Doesn’t Much Matter” – Simplicius  – GOOD ANALYSIS AS USUAL FROM SIMPLICIUS!!!!

Venezuela attack raises WW3 risk – “Why the Venezuelan attack might force a multi-front war. This strike extends a violent reorganization of the global order. By seizing control of Venezuelan energy, the US administration intends to grant Western oil companies direct access to reserves, effectively insulating the West from volatile Eastern markets. It is a bold, perhaps desperate, move to secure resource sovereignty in an era defined by a worldwide poly-crisis. The fallout was immediate. For Russia and China, Venezuela is a strategic foothold in the Western Hemisphere.” – Sarah Connor

Entirely irrelevant Eurotards assure the world they are “closely monitoring the situation” after the U.S. strikes Venezuela and captures President Nicolás Maduro – ” Finally, around noon, the mentally vacant EU foreign affairs girlboss Kaja Kallas logged onto X to assure the world that “the EU is closely monitoring the situation in Venezuela,” as if anybody gives the slightest shit what these people are doing.” – eugyppius

SPECIAL VIDEO FOR TODAY ( THANKS TO BILL ASTORE )

LYRIC FOR THE DAY

I was born on this bank
of the vibrant Arauca River,
I am brother to the foam,
to the herons, to the roses,
I am sister to the foam,
to the herons, to the roses
and to the sun, and to the sun.

The lively Diana
of the breeze in the palm grove lulled me to sleep,
and that is why my soul is like
the exquisite soul of crystal, of crystal.

I love, I weep, I sing, I dream
of carnations of passion,
of carnations of passion.
I love, I weep, I sing, I dream
to adorn the golden mane
of my lover’s colt.

I was born on this bank
of the vibrant Arauca River,
I am sister to the foam,
the herons, the roses
, and the sun.

THE BIG PICTURE

Trying to replace the American dream – In moderation, tolerance is a virtue but in excess it becomes the direst of vices. Zohran’s inuagural speech was quite the revelation.” – El Gato Malo

Remigration NOW. A Cat 5 Hurricane Builds Across the West. – “If someone gave a certain order – there’s a few influential people at ground level – if we gave a certain order, all hell would erupt in the U.K. The troops are aligned, the armies are behind certain people, if certain people said, “enough’s enough”, and they pressed a certain button, you’d have an army of millions who would wipe this place out. “What would cause that button to be pressed?” “Any more children being murdered.” – Elizabeth Nickson

For Whom Is It Humane? – “Government is a criminal enterprise. All of it. “We passed a law” is no defense. The problem with Western civilization is that this idea that the government passing a law is an excuse to violate human rights has existed for far too long. This is the struggle the founders had, how to terminate that thought process. The concept of a republic operating with the will of the people lasted about as long as it took for the ink to dry. Washington himself violated that concept during the Whiskey Rebellion.” – T.L. Davis

Nobel Prize Winner Warns: AI IS COMING FOR YOUR JOB AND CONGRESS IS DOING NOTHING! – “It’s time to wake up America. Artificial Intelligence and Robots are FAR more dangerous than Nuclear Weapons.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

The SYMBOLISM Is Everywhere!! (VIDEO) – “The secret societies and systems that rule our world are nothing new. They’ve been here since the beginning of time. But thankfully people are waking up,” – Armor Of Truth Ministry  – SHORT VIDEO ON THE NUMBER 33 AND MORE!!!!!

Cloudseeding Above Northern Indiana Skies Are Getting Out Of Control, Nonstop Near Daily Spraying With Impunity – “How much do you want to bet self-assembling nanotech is being deployed with this chemical brew? Yet nobody notices, nobody cares.” – The WinePress

Indoctrination brought to you by Big Sports – “If 100 million people care about sports, the psy-op exerts are going to go where the people are.” – Bill Rice Jr.

Study Finds Bovine Colostrum 3× More Effective Than Flu Vaccination in Preventing Flu Illness – “Participants experienced ~60% fewer illness days and ~75% fewer flu-like episodes with bovine colostrum compared to flu vaccination.” – Nicolas Hulscher, MPH

NEWS

Maduro “Effed Around & Found Out”; Trump Says ‘We Will Run Venezuela’ Until Safe Transition After Operation ‘Absolute Resolve’ – “Additionally, President Trump said Saturday he would allow American oil companies to head into Venezuela to tap its massive crude reserves:” – Tyler Durden

Russia condemns US ‘aggression’ against Venezuela – “The US president has claimed that Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro has been captured and flown out of the country” – RT

China Slams US ‘Hegemonic Acts’ After Strikes on Venezuela – “a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said in a statement late Saturday. “Such hegemonic acts of the US seriously violate international law and Venezuela’s sovereignty, and threaten peace and security in Latin America and the Caribbean region. China firmly opposes it.”” – Bloomberg News

America is a Gangster State – “The kidnapping of Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro and his wife solidifies America’s role as a gangster state. Violence does no generate peace. It generates violence. The immolation of international and humanitarian law, as the U.S. and Israel have done in Gaza, and as took place in Caracas, generates a world without laws, a world of failed states, warlords, rouge imperial powers and perpetual violence and chaos. If there is one lesson we should have learned in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Libya it is that regime change spawns Frankensteinian monsters of our own creation.” – Chris Hedges

Venezuela Attacks U.S. – “President Trump and First Lady Captured; Will Face Trial and Justice in Venezuela. Sometimes, imagining an opposite scenario can bring folly and illegality into relief. Imagine if Venezuela attacked the U.S. Imagine if President Trump and Melania Trump were seized, and that the Venezuelan attorney general said they would face justice in Venezuela. I’d imagine that nearly all Americans would see this as an act of war, a gross violation of national sovereignty. American vengeance would be swift. Of course, this is not Opposite Day. It’s the U.S. that has attacked Venezuela, seizing Maduro and his wife, with U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi vowing “They will soon face the full wrath of American justice on American soil in American courts.”” – Bill Astore

Trump Wakes the Hydra and Seals His Doom His new Venezuela War can only backfire on the Empire. Once again, the Empire has cut off the head of the snake, and will soon discover, once again, that it has only succeeded in waking the hydra. I am not sure what Marco Rubio and Donald Trump think is going to happen; I guess they think all they have to do is wait and the Venezuelan people will “spontaneously” rise up at CIA prodding and install their nice, pliable dictator who will gladly let the US steal Venezuelan oil and enrich Exxon at her own people’s expense because freedom.” – Ohio Barbarian

Yoink! Got Your Dictator! – “Maduro’s on a boat to New York. Trump will take Venezuela’s oil. Nice doing business with you. Let’s not sugarcoat it: this is a notable escalation in U.S. foreign policy and arguably the most direct military intervention in Latin America since Panama in 1989. The fact that President Trump authorized this without a clear public mandate and framed it as part of a broader campaign against cartels and corruption, ensures that debate will rage for weeks. Whether one views the move as bold leadership to remove an ally of China and Russia, or reckless overreach, largely depends on political worldview, but markets do not trade on ideology. One of the most immediate pressure points to watch here is energy. No doubt someone from OPEC getting into his $500,000 Bentley overnight felt a great disturbance in the force. There’s no doubt in my mind that Trump is going to now try and “keep the oil” from Venezuela in one form or another.” – Quoth the Raven  – THEY FRAME IT AS NARCO-TERRORISM SO THAT WE CAN CONDUCT THE OIL-TERRORISM!!!!

What Is Worse Than Donald Trump? – “More Donald Trump. Even when you begin to think that it can’t get any worse with Donald J. Trump as President of the United States the Orangeman does something that is so stupid and so reflective of a man who thinks only about himself that it makes one’s shudder in disbelief.” – Philip Giraldi

Jack Smith’s Tyrannical Arrogance – “Smith believes the government can prosecute any of us for rejecting official ‘truths.’” – J.B. Shurk

Israel Launches Its Latest “Iranian Revolution” As Trump Threatens War – “Israel is currently spearheading an online disinformation campaign against Iran with the intent of creating civil unrest. Agent provocateurs on the ground have weaponized peaceful protests to turn the situation violent. Across social media, AI-generated images and dated riot footage are being used to claim that a revolution has begun, as US President Donald Trump threatens military intervention.” – Robert Inlakesh

How’d Saudi Arabia End Up On The Same Side As The Muslim Brotherhood In Yemen? – “The Saudis’ growing ties with Muslim Brotherhood-aligned Turkiye, Qatar, and Iran; the Gaza War that broke out after October 7th; and the Ummah’s widespread support for Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestinian branch, contributed to the Kingdom coming to see the group in a new light.” – Andrew Korybko

SITREP 1/2/26: Odessa Pressure Peaks, as Zelensky Announces Major Senior Staff Reshuffle – “MSM rags are beginning to cover the ‘urgent’ situation surrounding Ukraine’s Odessa,” – Simplicius

ECONOMIC NEWS

Varoufakis warns of dollar crisis… – “Yanis Varoufakis is well known in European circles as an economist. He claims to have attended a meeting at the BIS where central bankers discussed economic meltdown. this video does appear genuine and the content makes sense, rather than culled by an AI engine. The reason for reposting it is that if it is genuine and not AI-generated, central bank officials share the concerns which we have been writing stridently about particularly in recent months. And like us and Varoufakis, they are aware that there is little they can actually do to prevent a G7 financial collapse, centred on the US dollar. Their machinations will probably lead to capital controls and market closures without notice….” – Alasdair Macleod  – LINKED ABOUT THIS ON THURSDAY AS WELL IN AN ARTICLE BY ANTHONY JAMES HALL. APPEARS TO BE THE REAL DEAL!!!!

Ditching the Dollar Is the New Popular Trump Trade – “Out with the old, in with the new. Trade in your old bucks right on cue. One of the important stories that has been slowly emerging this year is the demise of the dollar. That is worth noting because for more than a decade, I resisted going with the dollar-collapse narrative that is popular in the economic-collapse sphere where I write, and that always proved to be the right position. However, at the start of the year, I switched and finally began predicting the dollar’s collapse was now likely to arrive quickly—” – David Haggith

America’s New “Value Menu” Economy Should Worry You – “The hottest restaurant items of 2025 aren’t gourmet burgers – they’re value meals.

The New Year’s Resolution That Makes You “Ready For Anything” – “Every January, off-grid folks make the same quiet promises to themselves. This is the year I finish it. The fence. The pantry. The power backup. The bag by the door. And then life crowds in, the calendar flips, and by fall, most of those promises are still sitting right where they were—about half done. This isn’t about guilt or motivation. It’s about whether the things you’ve been “meaning to get to” would actually work if you needed them tonight. That’s what this piece is about—and why it matters more than any new gear you could buy this year.” – Bill Heid

In Canada, January is the month where many households discover their “security plan” was actually just a Wi-Fi camera and a porch light.” – denob

THE BIG PICTURE

Prebunking the prebunk at home and abroad – “As generally seems to be the case with multinational organizations purporting to serve some good or noble cause, the European commission, the UN, the WHO, USAID, NATO, and pretty much any other you’d care to name, has devolved into some weird hybrid of an impositional aristocracy making pretense to democracy and moral rectitude and an actual organized crime syndicate. And the game is really starting to heat up because it’s becoming clear that a lot of the things those organizations have been up to are about to come to light in relentless technicolor detail with receipts galore.” – El Gato Malo

You Don’t Need a Sword To Fight for God – “The Battle Is Not Won With Swords But With The Courage To Choose Good When Evil Is Easier. Christ told us plainly that the path is narrow and few will find it. He did not say this to discourage us but to prepare us for the truth that following Him would never be easy. The world is designed to pull you away from that narrow road at every turn. Every billboard and every screen and every whisper of temptation exists to drag you off the path and into the wide road where the crowds walk toward destruction without even knowing where they are headed.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

Unmasking The Great Ozempic Scam – “The GLP-1 saga epitomizes the unsustainable corruption within our medical system” – A Midwestern Doctor

Yes, the nuclear family matters – “The nuclear family—the version with a mom, dad, and kids—has long been a fixture of not just American life, but largely human life. The early days of mankind’s existence featured polygamy, sure, and it still pops up in various places, but monogamy has been the norm in the Western world since Christianity firmly took hold. Still, what we see is that the nuclear family is important for kids and their development as productive members of society. Which is probably why Marxists want to destroy the nuclear family. After all, if many of our problems can be solved via the family, there’s less reason for anyone to turn toward socialism/communism. ” – Tom Knighton

We Are All Indigenous Now – “How financial cleansing supplanted ethnic cleansing in the United States. Indigenous Americans are very well aware of this history, and so are minority groups like Blacks and Latinos who saw all sorts of nefarious tactics used against them to either prevent them owning land in the first place or driving them off of it if they already did. There are people writing right now that this was, and is, white supremacy. Often it was. What those writers will never tell you is that white people have been financially cleansed out of their homes as much or more often than anyone else throughout our history, albeit not because they were white. Mainly it was because they had the property some banker could take at the time.” – Ohio Barbarian

NEWS

Above Average – “Immigrants, legal and otherwise, are the gifts that keep on giving. Minnesota is acting all indignant now over the discovery that its many thousands of Somali guests made a major industry of looting the government. What is it with Garrison Keillor’s upright descendants of the pioneers? I guess they’re not as “above average” as he used to tell us. The fellow in charge, for instance, was one Tim Walz, recently a candidate for Veep, if you can believe it. He seemed oblivious to the scam-o-rama going on, though the “Little Mogadishu” neighborhood in Minneapolis is only a couple of miles from the governor’s mansion across the Mississippi River in St. Paul.” – James Howard Kunstler

The Somali Patronage System has taken Hold of Minnesota Politics – “The United States has long comforted itself with a story about immigration. People arrive poor and traumatized, they struggle, and over time they assimilate. Languages fade, loyalties widen, and civic norms take root. That story has been true often enough to feel like a law of nature. But it is not a law. It is a wager. And in the case of Somali immigration, particularly in Minnesota, the wager is failing in plain sight.” – Amuse on X

Minnesota Forecast: 40 More Miles of Fraud – “This week’s political weather brought to you by an intrepid 23-year-old YouTuber” – Jenna McCarthy

The EU Is Afraid – “Something in the X algorithm shifted over Christmas. I don’t know what happened, but now my feed is flooded with pro-EU posters ,I’ve never seen most of these posters on X before, they came out of the woodwork, as if I’ve been suddenly targeted, but I have no way of knowing how that would happen unless internally, leftists within the X organization, flipped some switches. What I discovered, though, was confirming my every bias when it comes to the EU.” – T.L. Davis

Take out a loan; pay it back–outrageous! – “It was Barack Obama who federalized the student loan industry. The consequences were inevitable. Provided a bottomless federal money source, colleges began admitting anyone who could obtain a federal student loan, which was just about anyone. Students who no competent college would have admitted in the past were greeted not because of their potential for academic success, but for their federal loan dollars. It took very little time for the trends to become obvious. A great many people who shouldn’t have been in college were dropping out after a year or two with enormous loan debt they had no skills, education or ability to repay. By September of 2025, total student loan debt stood at $1.81 trillion dollars. In an obvious attempt to buy votes, Joe Biden’s handlers, after pausing loan repayment for years, tried to forgive the student loans of up to 43 million former students, a move struck down by the Supreme Court in 2023. Now, the Department of Education has shut down the hope of shifting the loan burden to taxpayers: ” – Mike McDaniel

Christians are Disappearing from the Middle East – And the West Is Doing Nothing About It – “For nearly two millennia, Christianity has been woven into the fabric of the Middle East. Long before Europe adopted the religion, ancient churches flourished from Jerusalem to Damascus, Antioch, Mosul and Alexandria. Today, those communities are disappearing at an alarming pace, and not only is it going unreported, but it’s more impactful than most realise.” – George Calder

Data Blackout: Another Government Shutdown Looms To Start 2026, Allowing The Trump Administration To Not Report Key Statistics – “Anything to divide, distract, and blot out the collapse, the government and the media will do it.” – The WinePress

The U.S. Government Is Not the Daddy of U.S. Oil Companies – ” Venezuela never stole “our oil,” especially if one is referring to you and me and most other American citizens with the use of the possessive pronoun “our.” That’s because neither you nor I or the vast majority of other Americans ever owned Venezuelan oil. For that matter, the U.S. government didn’t own any Venezuelan oil either. It was U.S. oil companies that were granted concessions from the Venezuelan government near the beginning of the 20th century to extract oil from Venezuela in return for payment of concession fees to the Venezuelan government.” – Jacob G. Hornberger

Did the U.S. Just Strike Land in Venezuela? Trump Says We Hit a ‘Big Facility’ Hard – Bob Hoge

Trump Corollary Challenges China in Peru. Withdraw from “Belt and Road initiative” (BRI) – “China’s commercial infrastructure investment in Latin America threatens the Trump Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine. In February, following Trump’s successful effort to force Panama to withdraw from China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the administration set its sights on Peru and its Chancay megaport. The port facility, located 80 kilometers from Lima, the Peruvian capital, was constructed by China’s COSCO Shipping at a cost of around $1.3 billion. Chancay Port is considered China’s flagship project in Latin America and it has a 60% stake in the port and exclusive operating rights.” – Kurt Nimmo

Is Asian Guy a False Flag? – “As most of you have noticed, the precious metals space on YouTube is being flooded with AI/human hybrid deep dives into the suddenly crazy-volatile silver market. Why now? Who are these people? And how are they suddenly able to produce a tsunami of riveting content? Gold stock analyst Don Durrett just posted an interesting explanation:Question #1: What is the motivation behind these videos? I can only think of two: 1) Make Money. This one seems obvious, but I think it is misdirection. The next reason has more validity. 2) The government is front-running a shortage. They know it’s coming, so they want to control the outcome. Thus, they are pushing the inevitable, with a plan in place once it occurs.” – John Rubino

The End Game Has Begun For Our Current Financial System – “Gold and silver are signaling that the end game is approaching. For decades, central banks have “papered over” the decline in living standards (falling real incomes relative to increased costs of living) with easy credit/ money printing. This scheme only worked because throughout that period, the bond market was in a super cycle bull market that resulted in yields falling steadily, allowing governments to issue gargantuan amounts of debt without triggering a debt crisis.” – Graham Summers, MBA

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
