I kicked off 2025 with “The Pendulum Has Swung Again,” an editorial in which I noted how the lefty/progressive pieties of yore were being swept away by the righty/MAGA pieties of the new Trump and Change regime.
It didn’t take long for this narrative shift to be confirmed in grand style by The Great Resetter himself, Donald J. Trump:
I return to the presidency confident and optimistic that we are at the start of a thrilling new era of national success. A tide of change is sweeping the country, sunlight is pouring over the entire world, and America has the chance to seize this opportunity like never before.
Those are the bold words President Trump uttered in his inaugural address to the nation as he returned to the White House to begin his second administration this past January. And, like the bold words of so many politicians before him, they were a bunch of hot air.
After the Iran strikes betrayal, the Trump Gaza/”Board of Peace” debacle, the Project Stargate fiasco, the Ukraine “peace plan” disaster, the Venezuelan drug boat massacres, the “untalented Americans” insult and, of course, the “Epstein hoax” hoax, even the most die-hard MAGA hopium swillers have started to realize that Trump’s inaugural speech about a new “golden age” was the same old garbage that every President-to-be likes to spew on their first day in office.
But still, just because a politician is lying (i.e., his lips are moving) doesn’t mean that a dramatic “tide of change” hasn’t swept across the planet this year.
On the contrary. A remarkable shift has taken place in popular understanding and popular discourse in 2025. This shift has changed the conversation surrounding some of the core topics the independent media has been covering for years. The shift has nothing whatsoever to do with the politicians, academics, talking heads and other bloviators who presume to be “thought leaders” and “trend setters.” And, despite the best efforts of those who look for the storm cloud in every silver lining, this narrative shift is actually something to be celebrated.
So, hopefully you’ve heard my doom-and-gloom story of the year in New World Next Year 2026. Now, let’s end the year with a little holiday cheer by examining how 2025 became the year that Joe Sixpack and Jane Soccermom started tuning into conspiracy reality.
I’m told that Mahatma Gandhi wasn’t perfect but still, I try to live by his quote, “You must be the change you wish to see in the world”. (Even my wife has been listening to me, somewhat, this year. Not bad after 50 years of marriage.) When enough of us change, the change will come. And, by-the-way, the economy is a ponzy scheme. Odious debt need not be paid.
If your wife is listening to you on these subjects more now, that is a positive trend. I can’t claim the same, in my house.
I’m glad that you recognize how important narrative is to changing people’s minds; some cannot be moved by facts or logic. Please check out my 2015 award-winning novel, Locus Amoenus, about Hamlet as a 9/11 conspiracy theorist.

This makes a great Christmas gift for that literary person on your list who is just starting to wake up a tiny bit. They need to hear about 9/11 truth from someone who appreciates Shakespeare not Alex Jones. Tone is everything.
Silly season greetings Victoria,
For an esoteric take on the story of hamlet, check out, near to the end of “Master of Lucid Dreaming” (by Olga Kharatidi). I’ve not yet read your book, but am guessing Olga’s writing may add some further understanding for you of that famous tale?
and yes james, the public narrative is getting more open to red pilling which is demonstrated by how hard tptsb are pushing back. After the slaughter of innocents at the beach last weekend (did police really just standby for 20minutes while the shooting went on?), the pro poor me mob have managed to declare any pro Palestine marching illegal.

yes were over the target, and/but their iron dome is switching to high gear.
literal son of a cia agent. gotta be careful with that. I’m the literal niece of a cia agent (helped foment every revolution in central/south america escaping with nothing more than his family from cuba) and I’m by no means complicit in his actions. nor was his daughter who moved as far away from him as she could possibly could.
James did a nice job of sucking you out of the shadows, eh!
I know what you mean. But remember, Tucker is in a presumably different category, as he was a mainstream media mouthpiece for years, and loudly and insultingly mocked 9/11 Truth as absurd lunacy, and NOW has helped publicize it positively, instead. I get your point, but I give James a pass on this. The article was about how some things turned around so remarkably, and his choice of words put some (unnecessary?) spice in it.
>”It seems 2025 was the year that the magical spell the Zionists have cast over the world for generations—the one that deems all criticism of Israel to be “anti-Semitic”—was finally broken.”
It seems premature to celebrate while congress still sponsors Israel.
> “Last year, COVID vaccines were still officially deemed safe as mother’s milk and the health establishment was pushing boosters on everyone with a pulse. But this year the FDA now officially admits that an unknown number of children have been killed by those vaccines and a comprehensive review of the entire childhood vaccination schedule has been ordered for the first time ever.”
This seems beside the point. One ought to have the liberty to refuse an injection regardless of how safe the FDA claims it is.
I just found out about an Anit-Zionist American PAC. This PAC was created to get the Zionist control out of the American Government and cut off aid to Israel. The website is;

James, you silly boy, you just don’t speak controller speak. A new golden age is shop talk for now we have figured out how finish robbing everyone blind and keep ALL the gold to ourselves and destroy civilization into a digital prison.
IMO, the ONLY and I do mean ONLY positive sign from this lying bastard would be if just ONE DAMN GUILTY PERSON will be wearing an orange jumpsuit in the months to come. Till then it will be business as usual.
The controllers have worked for decades, damn near a century, to dumb down and addict the population; lie about our true history; fill the legal vacancies with lefty drones; destroyed the air, water, and food supply; present false hope narratives from “trusted” people; dominate education, communication, entertainment (propaganda;) and on and on.
Do you really think this bumbling fool of a president could possibly be making any mistakes and ruin all that effort?? He is CHABAD, the enemy of Christianity and White People, civilized people and anything of value from them by the Zionist’s purge of reality.
Has the fact that they have instituted a fear porn about “security” so deep in the meme that people actually take off pieces of clothing to fly on a plane; will accept being scrutinized everywhere like it was natural…on line, health care, food shopping, driving a vehicle, etc.??
Talking “serious” talk these days about this is like spitting into the wind. True activism has a key component…ACTIVISM!!

And a Merry Christmas to you, and yours.
And Best wishes as well to the Corbett Report, and all the ‘Corbeteers.’
Nice way to end the year on a high note! I think by looking back at having some successes encourages people to do more. I see no one better at this than Del Bigtree at Thehighwire.com where he has built an audience that doubles or triples the largest of the major mainstream propaganda networks.
Lets keep the ball rolling!
Identity stealers: Its been said a certain mob of bandits out of central Asia were known far and wide to be identity stealers, making their crimes seem to be perpetrated by others. I dont understand how people can be so blind to the meaning reversal and identity theft involved in the phrase “anti Semite”. both Hebrew and Arabic speaking people are by definition “Semitic”. To say “anti Semite” is to say “anti Palestinian”, Anti Semitic Semites, what?,, the slippery slope of cognitive dissonance. sounds like identity theft. human capacity for hatred and revenge is the symptom screaming for an antidote.
Here’s the Hyper Plagiarizer (aka “AI” which is another identity theft, an algorithm can be complexly tricky, but not “intelligent”) version:
“The origin of Semites is linked to the ancient Afroasiatic language family, with linguistic evidence pointing to an early dispersal from North Africa/the Levant around the 4th millennium BCE, potentially driven by desertification, leading to Semitic speakers spreading across the Middle East and into the Horn of Africa, though some theories place the heartland in the Levant or Mesopotamia. The term itself comes from the biblical Noah’s son Shem, used to group peoples speaking Semitic languages like Arabic, Hebrew, and Amharic, but it’s a linguistic/cultural, not a single racial, label, and the concept has evolved, often misused for ethnicity (e.g., antisemitism)”
fela kuti nailed it with “Upside down”, masterfully covered here by Newen Afro Beat:

I find your articles and episodes quite outstanding. I do, however think that the links are too good (just kidding). Is it time for us to forward this to everyone again?

For anyone who hasn’t yet checked out the stories James features in his Recommended lists this week, I’m grateful to Hrvoje, host of the G&E podcast, for interviewing four experts on the Noahide laws, who described them in excruciating and horrifying detail.
I also learned a lot from the three Recommended Viewing stories — especially the third, an interview by Naomi Brockwell of the co-founder of Samourai Wallet, who has just started serving a (plea deal) five-year prison sentence on trumped-up charges. Apparently his conviction is intended to serve as a warning to any other would-be criminal who is thinking about building a legal privacy tool.
I’m gonna copy/paste this verbatim off @LauraRuHK telegram account, but I think it is an important story in the context of “pendulum swinging”:
Nathalie Yamb, an incredibly brave woman, became the first Swiss citizen to be sanctioned by the European Union. A Swiss‑Cameroonian political activist known for her anti‑colonial positions, Yamb has long criticized France’s influence in Africa, particularly its continued economic and military presence in former colonies. Her sanctioning marked a significant precedent, as it extended EU punitive measures beyond the usual targets linked to Russia or other geopolitical adversaries. She was deliberately singled out by France, which viewed her activism and public interventions as a direct challenge to its authority and interests in Africa. Nathalie Yamb’s case illustrates how sanctions can be deployed not only as instruments of foreign policy but also as tools to suppress dissenting voices that contest established power structures. It created a very dangerous precedent, as we saw more recently when other European citizens, including the Swiss author Jacques Baud, were sanctioned by the EU. To understand just how dystopian and lawless the EU has become, listen to her account.

“Of course, not everyone is suddenly a super-awake Level 99 Jedi Truth Warrior who knows that the flat earth is being controlled by 12-dimensional lizard people from the planet Archon.”
That elicited an audible laugh-snort.
