The silver lining: the bluest of the blue areas of Los Angeles just got a massive redpill from mother nature about the dangers of voting for virtue signaling over reality & competence.
-Politico using an Al Qaeda/Muslim Brotherhood cutout to attack Tulsi’s nomination to ODNI. They still don’t realize that we know their tricks now, we are smarter than the midwits of the media, and their old bullshit no longer flies.
-The long tail of the US treasuries flying high does not bode well for the US stock market. Stay frosty, head on a swivel, traders.
White pill(s) for the week:
Tucker released another interview on January 6th that I did not think I would like listening to or take nearly as much away from that I did, but it was pretty profound when you really think about what it shows.
Billy Bush, the host who Trump was speaking to in an old interview that launched the infamous “Billy Bush weekend” before the 2016 election outlines an enormous amount of the backstory and what happened that most do not know about.
He goes deep into the big media networks seeking out anything they could to attack Trump, some serious treachery that led to the release of the “Access Hollywood” tape, and the backstabbers who did all they could to destroy and get rid of him.
But within that tale of deceit, on multiple levels, is a story of rebuilding, Faith, and hope.
If one can look at the macro picture, one may see many examples of the same basic narrative arc that are playing out all around us, right now. The Resentfuls, malcontents, and genuinely awful people destroyed the reputations of a lot of good people for their own careers, political advancement, or money.
On many fronts, however, those malcontents are seeing their own power diminish while the good people they tried to ruin have rebuilt, reformed, and are coming back with a vengeance.
There are many tales, stories, books, epic poems, movies, and others that show us how this archetypal tale as old as humanity will play out. And I’m here for it.

Weekend Meditation:
“Eventually, your time will come, and someone else will take your place. Keep this in mind as you go about your day.”
-Marcus Aurelius
Whether you are a “memento mori” type of person, a “this too shall pass” type of person, or a “make your mark on this world” type of person, one thing remains the same: we are not God, and at some point your time in this life will end. Make of it what you can, while you can.
Put more good into this world than you take out of it.

Thirty years ago William F. Buckley banished Peter Brimelow from Con Inc. for saying that immigration was destroying the country. Turns out Brimelow was right.

The Shitshow Macro Weekly Prep Podcast for Monday January 13, 2025 is out:
-The next longform Radically Changing Our Understanding of the Human Experience & Timeline went up at the end of last week.
--The long-form post will likely come out from behind the paywall (free for all to read) on Tuesday, and the podcast on Wednesday.
Domestic Politics:
-It’s bad enough that the Palisades Reservoir was empty when the fires hit. It’s worse that the CA politicians and media are lying about it. Despite those things, the whole story is even worse.
--It’s not just water - the full reservoirs are needed to ensure the pressure exists for maximum output capacity when they are needed…like in a fire.
--The article below from @zerohedge explains:
zerohedge.com/political/why-…
-Speaking of unforced errors by California politicians, it began to surface today (Sunday) that The Pentagon had made 500 Marines and 10 helos available to help Thursday - but the needed request has not been made to utilize them yet.
--Here’s a video of the “why” response, and it’s maddening. Consider this when you see the stories of looters and arsonists and how 500 Marines may be a bit helpful in that regard.
--Video shared by @TheChiefNerd :

-Jack Smith unceremoniously resigned from the DOJ in shame on Friday.
-We all know the US media is full of dumb, lazy, and nefarious people…but just how dumb, lazy, and nefarious are they?
--An online shitposter wanted to test this question by offering a bit of anti-Elon chum to a “journalist” for Fortune and Business Insider.
--If what he alleges is true, well, you can read for yourself:
zerohedge.com/political/they…
-Oklahoma Senator Lankford, who lied about the BS border bill that he tried to push last year, dropped another lie on Meet the Press today (Sunday).
--Lankford claimed Section 702 doesn’t affect Americans. This is a lie - 702 affects Americans specifically. FISA is “supposed to be” pointed at non-Americans, although in reality it has also been used (a lot) to spy on Americans (illegally, unconstitutionally) as well:

--If you don’t know the difference between FISA and 702, I outlined those differences in Masks Off Part 3: Castles Built on Bullshit:
open.substack.com/pub/robertplew…
-The FBI is still hiding and redacting its involvement and “predicate” for Spygate:
realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2025/…
-Michael Shellenberger (@shellenberger ) shared a chart on X that is important for people to understand just how much BS the media, Newsom, et al are shoveling when they blame the fires on climate change.
--California has, and has always had, a “chaparral” climate. There are years with exceptionally heavy rainfall, which leads to heavy snowpack, which leads to awesome skiing, but is also, always, followed by years with lower rainfall.
--This is why many of us who know how the world works and understand pattern recognition felt something bad was going to happen when Sacramento (i.e. Newsom and his virtue signaling minions) allowed the last large snowpack melt to flow back into the ocean (a year ago):
x.com/shellenberger/…
--I will include the chart in the show notes because this is important, Day 1 stuff.
War/Military:
-We’ve discussed previously how the USMIL leadership ignored a DARPA study that showed the shots were likely to be net-zero benefit at best, and harmful at worst.
--A new report shows they may have also ignored reports that the military had likely achieved “herd immunity” by June 2021 - and decided to issue the mandate anyway.
wnd.com/2025/01/defens…
-It has become public that the UK’s Ministry of Defense (MOD) is investigating the elite Special Boat Service (SBS) for the death of a suspected terrorist in Libya during one of its ops.
--As a testimony to why JAG officers run amok destroy militaries (which the USMIL saw begin under Obama), the investigation is because a pencil pusher thinks they could have arrested rather than kill the target they had been sent after.
