THE BIG PICTURE

I Can’t Believe It’s Not Food! – “Trying to survive inside the empire of psychopathic killers: Part I—The “Food” Living in Europe for seventeen of the past twenty years and making the transatlantic journey west, I saw the culinary cultural contrasts up close, between healthy and fit people who value real food as part of daily life, and the ultra-processed gluttony on offer with fake foods inside the Empire of Elastic Waistbands. There are sugar or junk food taxes in countries like France, Hungary, Denmark, and Norway, which have had a tax on junk food since 1922. Instead of celebrating junk food as normal diet staples that can be purchased with government subsidies like food stamps, there’s a flavor of social disdain that marks obese gluttons.” – The Good Citizen

The Bodies Are Not Stacking Up… Again – “I think “our side” – generally speaking – ought to be careful not to fall into the trap the other side did, of buying into hysteria. Whatever the jabs did, they have not caused the predicted mass deaths. Just the same as “COVID” didn’t – notwithstanding the endless barrage of “coverage” of “the cases! the cases”! – if anyone remembers. Well, here we go again. Only now – five years later – it is “our side” that is falling into the same species of hysteria notwithstanding the absence of any evidence that people who’ve been “vaccinated” are dying en masse. You may remember predictions supposedly made by something called the Deagle Report that by 2025 something like half or even two-thirds of the population of the United States would be dead. Well, were approaching halfway through 2025 and this has not happened. Or even close.” – Eric Peters – SOME GOOD POINTS FROM ERIC. AND I ADMIT I HAVE BEEN GUILTY OF THIS. ONE POINT HOWEVER DEAGLE DIDN’T SAY HOW THE POPULATION WOULD DECREASE, JUST THAT IT WOULD!

EXPOSED! The 33rd Degree KCCH of Freemasonry – The Final Chapter – “If you ever wonder why everything around us is so f*cked up, here you go… In this series we have looked at the teachings and activities of Freemasonry as candidates go through the ranks of the Scottish Rite and enter the upper levels:” – Agent131711 – ALL 6 PARTS HAVE NOW BEEN LINKED. I SUGGEST STARTING WITH PART 1. AS I STATED ON 04/18/25 WHEN PART 1 WAS LINKED; YOU MIGHT SAY THAT THE MASONS ARE THE FOUNDATION OF ALL THINGS CONSPIRATORY. IT’S WHAT GOT ME LOOKING DEEPER AT THINGS  OVER 20 YEARS AGO. EVER WONDER WHY THERE IS A MASONIC LODGE IN NEARLY EVERY TOWN IN THE U.S, EVEN SMALL TOWNS!!!!!

Virginia Giuffre’s Father Says She Wasn’t Suicidal; Demands Investigation – “I don’t buy it The father of prominent Jeffrey Epstein sexual abuse victim Virginia Giuffre doesn’t believe the narrative that she took her own life last week, and is demanding an independent investigation. As we highlighted, Giuffre previously stated that she was not suicidal, and her lawyer is adamant there is no evidence to suggest she was. ” – Steve Watson

U.S. Government’s Bio-War Against America: 15 Historical Medical Horrors Inflicted on the American People by the Government Itself – Mike Adams

The Long Game of Tony Blair: From Climate Optimism to Technocratic Control. – “In the final weeks of his time as UK Prime Minister in 2007, Tony Blair made an oddly casual but revealing remark about the climate crisis. “Don’t worry about the climate — technology will fix it.” Eighteen years later, we now know what he meant. On April 29, 2025, the Tony Blair Institute published a new climate strategy paper titled The Climate Paradox: Why We Need to Reset Action on Climate Change. At first glance, it appears to be a critique of current Net Zero policies — admitting they’re economically toxic, politically unpopular, and practically unworkable. But on closer reading, it reveals something much more significant: a polished blueprint for a global technocratic control system, built in the name of solving climate change through data, automation, and artificial intelligence.” – David Fleming

DARPA-Funded Scientists Patent Sound-Triggered Drug Implant System – “Pentagon-backed scientists secure global patent for implantable, sound-triggered drug capsules—raising alarm over dual-use bioweapon potential and covert human control.” – Jon Fleetwood

What’s Normal, Exactly? – “When a claque of deep state shills such as Norm Eisen, Chuck Schumer, Bill Kristol, David Brooks, and Larry Summers holler about Mr. Trump’s attempt to reform a depraved political culture as “an assault on norms,” are you not prompted to wonder what, exactly, those norms might be? Looks like they are describing a colossal matrix of racketeering operations in concert with an epic program of crypto-Marxist mind-fuckery, mountains of money purloined under color-of-law, swindles galore of practically every public enterprise, the capital city of a so-called republic fogged in gaslight to conceal a Satyricon of pedophilia, sodomy, and sado-masochism in every closet, cabinet, and pigeon-hole of the political class. So, along comes Mr. Trump for the second round, with a supernaturally able clean-up crew this time, and the monsters feeding off that depraved normality commence to shriek in mortal panic as the scaffold of their crimes gets methodically disassembled and secrets are revealed.” – James Howard Kunstler

War Between The US And Canada? Yes, It’s Now A Real Possibility – “A war between Canada and the US opening up a portal to hell might be a bit of a stretch, but recent events lead me to believe that there are very real ingredients coming together that could trigger an active conflict with our neighbors to the north. Furthermore, these factors do NOT necessarily revolve around the trade war; the trade war is secondary. There is something explosive going on under the surface of US/Canada relations and it could very well end with a US invasion to the north.” – Brandon Smith

After 100 Days Where Are We? – Paul Craig Roberts

IMF and World Bank: Crony Covid Crackdown Enablers – “Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent complained last week that the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund are suffering from “mission creep.” But Bessent announced that Trump will be “doubling down” on supporting the largest foreign aid gushers on earth. “Far from stepping back, ‘America First’ seeks to expand U.S. leadership in international institutions like the I.M.F. and World Bank,” Bessent declared. The IMF and World Bank have helped turn many foreign nations into kleptocracies – governments of thieves. Most importantly, neither the IMF nor the World Bank has any qualms about bankrolling tyranny.” – James Bovard

And the Emmy for Election Cheating Goes to… – “Anybody but them…Last fall’s “60 Minutes” interview of then-candidate Kamala Harris… now the subject of a $20 billion lawsuit by President Donald Trump… has been nominated for an Emmy Award for outstanding edited interview. In his lawsuit, Trump charges that the interview was deceitfully edited to make Harris look smarter than she is. And to think that “60 Minutes” was once a paragon of journalistic integrity… We are not talking about editing out “ums” and “ahs” here, but the nefarious replacement of whole interview answers with better ones. That kind of malicious editing… In other words, a fake interview. An Emmy for fake news?” – Jim McCraigh

National Endowment for Democracy Is Now Erasing Disclosure Data – “The overt replacement for the CIA’s foreign political action funding has transitioned back to covert funding, using ‘duty of care’ as a rationale.” – Lee Fang and Jack Poulson

TRUMP Art of The Deal: Ukraine Has No Rare Earth Minerals – “The watered down US/Ukraine Deal has created a new US colony in Europe. Greenland fell by the wayside and would have been a far cleaner and likely more valuable deal than Ukraine. Unfortunately, the only difference between Ukraine in 2014 and Ukraine in 2025 – is who is running the show. In 2014 – it was Soros et al. In 2025 it is Trump et al. Same deal, different names stamped on the graves. The most significant aspect being the rare earth minerals that may – or may not even exist. These minerals are critical in the manufacture of – everything including; all weapons and all tech. The US has little, China has most, and time was NOT in Trump’s favor. Sitting perilously over the new $1 trillion defense budget, these minerals are essential in order to re-load a viable military inventory in the event we want to take out The World … Lesson Learned: Civilizations didn’t die off because of climate change, they died off at the hands of the biggest marauders. He with the biggest stick – WINS.” – Helena Glass

U.S. Elites Learned Much from the Vietnam Defeat – “To them, the right lessons; to everyone else, the wrong ones” – Bill Astore

Lefty policies come with additional costs – “When we’re discussing some leftist policy, we routinely discuss the cost. This is what the government will pay for whatever it is they want to do. Or save, if that’s remotely relevant. Yet there are second- and third-order costs that are routinely missed, if not outright unknowable.” – Tom Knighton

And so…. The opinion pieces begin.(VIDEO) – “Broadcaster claims Mark Carney did ‘sneaky underhanded’ things to get in office” – Sylvia Shawcross

Canadian Liberals Deploy Trump Derangement Syndrome to Retain Federal Power – “If Canada Had Its own National Security Apparatus, Not NATO, We Would be in a Good Position Diplomatically Play to Play off China Against the United States for Canadian National Advantage. As the election unfolded it became increasingly clear that Mark Carney is carrying on the enlarged legacy of Justin Trudeau as a full-fledged agent of the Chinese Communist Party led by Xi Jinping. Carney’s many-faceted personal and institutional involvements with the government of China is startling in its magnitude especially for those who don’t know much about the extent of China’s global influence. Right now Canada is betwixt and between the mounting cross-fire emanating from both China and the United States now led by US President, Donald Trump. Carney’s main tactic in taking over Canada’s top political role was to make himself the high priest of Trump derangement syndrome as the core principle of re-emergent Canadian nationalism.” – Anthony James Hall

German Spy Agency Formally Classifies AfD Party As “Right-Wing Extremist”, Same Week As They Top Polls – “Probably just a coincidence… Just days after Germany’s ‘Alternative fur Deutschland’ (AfD) party topped the polls…Germany’s domestic intelligence agency has formally classified the party as a right-wing extremist movement, granting authorities enhanced powers to monitor the party as a potential threat to democracy, due to the “extremist character of the entire party.” … a “severe blow to German democracy”” – Tyler Durden

A CALL FOR ACTION NOW. THIS IS THE SCAM OF THE CENTURY! (SHARE THIS FAR AND WIDE). (VIDEO) – “Consider this. This apparent fantastic deal that was signed for minerals  President Trump, uh, basically touting this thing as if it’s the second coming. Now we’re finding out from the vice president. How’s this headline for you today. This morning Russia’s war in Ukraine not going to end anytime soon. Let that sink in. The day after this deal was signed. Now I’m going to break this down for you so you can understand why this is the scam of the century and America is over ” – Gregory Mannarino  – ANOTHER GOOD LISTEN FROM GREG ON THE BIG PICTURE AS WELL!!!

The Dollar Falters as Gold Remains Stable – Peter Schiff

Ok, This is Starting to Get Serious – “OK, now things are starting to get serious. As I’ve noted over the past week, while the Fed twiddles its thumbs and frets about the potentially inflationary impact of tariffs, the real economy is rolling over. The American consumer accounts for 60%-70% of U.S. GDP. The consumer, not the Fed, is what drives the economy. And all signs are beginning to point towards the consumer being “tapped out.” In the last two weeks, management teams at Southwest Airlines, PepsiCo, Chipotle, and even Walmart have warned that consumers are cutting back on spending. It’s one thing to see one sector of the economy issue a warning. But when you’ve got multiple sectors (airlines, restaurants, consumer discretionary, and retail), all doing this at the same time, you know it’s getting serious. Well, we can now add McDonalds, the largest fast-food restaurant in the world, to the list of companies issuing major warnings.” – Graham Summers, MBA

Mayday markdowns – “Gold consolidates its rise from mid-December. The May Day holiday in China and with much of Europe shut as well, was an opportunity for the Comex shorts to punish the longs. This morning marks the ninth trading session since gold briefly hit $3500. And yesterday saw a dramatic markdown” – Alasdair Macleod

Oh Look, Jobs! – “Hmm…. the BLS shouteth forth… Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 177,000 in April, and the unemployment rate was unchanged at 4.2 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Employment continued to trend up in health care, transportation and warehousing, financial activities, and social assistance. Federal government employment declined. DOGE actually managed to cut a few people? Go figure. Oh wait…. it was only 9,000. So much for trumpeting a “big change” — NOT. Of course we must put more than 50,000 into the “health care” sector despite the civilian labor force increasing just 174,000 over the same month. If you believe that we are adding one doctor or nurse for every three and a half people, approximately whatever you’re smoking is definitely illegal — yes even in Michigan, Illinois and California.” – Karl Denninger

25 Years of Higher Interest Rates Ahead? – “Interest rates are linked to inflation, but they’re also linked to risk. As a result of recency bias, where we assume the recent past is a permanent state of affairs, many believe near-zero interest rates are “normal.” They aren’t. As the chart of 10-year US Treasury yields–a proxy for interest rates through” – Charles Hugh Smith

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY

The Ultimate Guide to Building a Survival Homestead: Why You Should and How to Start – Harold Thornbro

Best Survival Food To Grow – “This is ‘next level’ prepping and preparedness. It is beyond ordinary emergency food storage. It is prepping for a more extended period of food scarcity and availability. Suppose you are already a farmer, great! If you are already a homesteader with gardens galore, great! But if you have only dabbled in gardening or wonder what some of the best foods to grow for survival might be, let me provide my opinion.” – Ken Jorgustin

3 Indispensable Items for Emergency Vehicle Repair – J.G. Martinez D

Living Like This Is Not as Safe as You Think – “There’s a common misconception that being prepared completely guarantees your safety. You’re stocked to the rafters with preserved food, multiple means to purify water, and enough ammo to make Burt Gummer blush. The garden outside is growing a healthy polyculture of vegetables, and you’ve got plenty of stuff to trade. On paper, this sounds good, if not great! Yet there are always going to be risks to your safety and sustainability. Both from the outside and from the potential mistakes you can make along the way.” – Eric Beuning
