Off The Cuff With Professor Peter St Onge – Public by Chris Martenson This week’s Off The Cuff (OTC) is special. The guest is Peter St Onge and it’s special because of his crisp ability to communicate, his authentic desire to help people, and his cheerful good nature (despite the heaviness of the topics being discussed). Honestly, he’s “one of us.” Or we’re all “one of him.” Either… Off The Cuff With Professor Peter St Onge – Public by Chris Martenson This week’s Off The Cuff (OTC) is special.

#TBT – Make Your Choice: Change By Pain or Insight by Chris Martenson Change is coming. The problem is humans really only have two main ways of changing, and one of them is painful. For this week’s Throw Back Tuesday we’ll be revisiting one of my favorite pieces posted on March 3, 2018: “Make Your Choice: Change By Pain or Insight.” As my long-time followers will recall, back… #TBT – Make Your Choice: Change By Pain or Insight by Chris Martenson Change is coming.

Surviving This Won’t Be Easy PREVIEW by Chris Martenson It’s time to face the facts. The communists/authoritarians among us are deadly serious. They are willing to break any rule, breach any moral convention, trample every right, and punish any who get in their way. Same as it has always been throughout history. The collectivists, as G. Edward Griffin calls them, are a particularly cheerless… Surviving This Won’t Be Easy PREVIEW by Chris Martenson It’s time to face the facts.

It’s Over! (Democracy That Is) by Chris Martenson The United States’ experiment with democracy is now officially over. It’s time to declare the experiment dead and make other arrangements.

Lying Virologists Caught – And Why This Matters PREVIEW by Chris Martenson I’ve been hot on the trail of the lab origin of Covid since early 2020. And I brought logic, data, and receipts to make my case. All along the way something that really vexed me was the obviousness of the lies that Fauci, Andersen, Koopman, Baric, Daszak, Garry, Lipkin, Rambault and all the rest were… Lying Virologists Caught – And Why This Matters PREVIEW by Chris Martenson I’ve been hot on the trail of the lab origin of Covid since early 2020.

An October Prediction PREVIEW by Chris Martenson I believe that “reality” sets in by October 2023 (this year). By this, I mean that the Fed’s liquidity-draining operations finally crush the stock market, which will then confirm for people what they are already experiencing, times are tough (for the majority of people, especially those on fixed incomes). Soon thereafter, oil prices are going… An October Prediction PREVIEW by Chris Martenson I believe that “reality” sets in by October 2023 (this year).

The Biggest Warning Sign of Imminent Economic Hardship by Chris Martenson What’s the biggest sign that economic trouble is on the way? That’s easy – the disappearance of low-cost energy. In part I (public) we cover the German experience with their self-inflicted wounds of depriving themselves of reliable, low-cost energy. It’s predictably bad.
