Ready to keep making the best videos I can for everyone in 2026! Let’s go 😎
Much love
– Broc
Happy New Year, James – thanks for all the work; glad to hear you’re enjoying some family time. In terms of plans, I will spend more cash (and hope to find ways of earning some) and be more selective about where I spend it; buy more organic food and grow as much veg as possible in our small garden; go Linux; that’ll do for now – Solutions Watch especially appreciated – here’s to a good ‘26
Good on you, Broc – you’re doing an outstanding job!
Thanks for all the work you do as well, Mr West!
Broc, you are such an inspiration! I tell my kids, who watch your videos, that you saw an important need and mastered a skill to make truth accessible to many and they can do that too if they desire it. THANK YOU for the hours of time and heart you invest in making James’s work even more effective. Let’s go!!
Happy New Year and thank you to you all at the Corbett Report.
What are your thoughts on the current financial system? I am aware that you have commented on plenty of subjects including Cryptos and the blockchain etc, and how this is more than likely leading us into a CDBC system.
However, it is clear that the world is feeling the pain of inflation, some experts say that we have already entered the “hyper inflation” phase (the hidden tax and wealth transfer). But, precious metals are now really breaking out, so much so that established media is openely talking about it. The experts mostly agree that such a rise in gold is indicative of a failing monetary system and that the dollar is on life support and the financial reset is nigh. What should/ can we do to protect ourselves. Kind Regards, Smitch.
To add, I am sure many Corbett Report subscribers with be aware of the book by Edward G Griffin, The Creature From Jekyll Island. Therefore will undesrtand how the FIAT currency system works.
Happy new year!

I’m interested specifically in biometrics at borders as from what I understand this is a sure path to digital ID. The EU is in the process of implementing its EES (entry exit system) by which all visitors must provide biometrics upon entry and exit. Other than completely stopping all travelling, what are the options for opting out of biometrics? It appears different countries currently have different rules, but as we all know, they’re en route to the same destination.
I agree. Biometrics seems to be spreading and we need ideas of how to bypass this in every aspect of life. Personally, I don’t plan on traveling much in 2026 but you never know. I also do not plan on using biometrics to sign in or whatever regarding the internet. Biometrics is a threat to everyone’s sovereignty.
Happy New Year everyone. Thank you James for all you do for the world.

Happy New Year to James, Broc and West. Thanx for all the quality work you issue forth from your lively printing press. I can credit you to my vegy-garden and to switching into Linux (after your first interview with someone who helped me switch over to Linux and how to partition my HDD). Love Linux, never had a computer virus again, no need of anti-virus Nortons or McAfee, both of which caused the viruses. Also, thank-you for making me a geo-politics nerd in multiple disciplines without a need for PhD’s. Likewise, I have developed a growing impatience with those who are disinterested in understanding eugenics and technocracy in relation to modern technology while displaying SHOCK at the ingredients of vaccines, Johnson’s Baby Powder, food, water, chem-trails, allopathic treatments etc. Cognitive Dissonance at its best.
Once Again, Thnx.
Happy New Years everyone! 🙂
Here is a link to an in depth post (written by a human and not A.I. believe it or not!) on 26 Reasons Why Starting or Expanding a Regenerative Garden in 2026 is the most important thing each of us can do this year to make this world a better place!
https://gavinmounsey.substack.com/p/26-reasons-you-should-start-a-garden
Lets explore the long list of reasons why starting/expanding a garden is the most important thing you can possibly do in 2026
I want to remind you that you are capable of co-creating wonderful things on this Earth when you choose to learn from the Creator’s design and use your gifts in service of life and Creation.
Each and everyone of us can do this and every little bit counts! Even if it is one potted plant on a balcony, a front yard or guerilla garden or one tree seedling planted, it all adds up, in experience, ecological enrichment, beauty and nourishment.
Now is the time to reaffirm our alliances with the living Earth, to nurture new symbiotic relationships with the soil, people, plants and fungi in our local communities. Human empires rise and fall, and history teaches us that when they fall, it is those that know how to grow/forage for their own food, medicine and preserve it, that survived.
We can create oases of health, resilience, and abundance in each of our communities… we can become the solution, break from dependence on centralized systems and help others to do the same. It begins with the soil and the seeds and it evolves into nurturing symbiotic connections with those whom we share our communities with. Each of us can embody the medicine that the land and our communities need too survive and thrive though the tough times ahead.
Thus, each and everyone one of us should now be focusing our efforts on honing our skills related to food/medicine cultivation, preservation and developing a reciprocal relationship with the land where we live.
If you already have a garden think of this as a list of 26 reasons why you should re-double your gardening efforts by expanding, honing and sharing your garden abundance.
PS: I addressed some doomer/black pill concerns about gardening and how it is a legitimate form of resistance against the oligarchy and their subservient statist regimes in the following post.
https://edwardslavsquat.substack.com/p/the-revolution-will-involve-fermented
As I said to my friend Riley Waggaman (aka Edward Slavsquat) in our conversation that ended up being titled The revolution will involve fermented cabbage (linked above):
Regenerative gardening, seed saving and preserving food with low tech methods is a great starting point to create pockets of decentralized resistance to oligarchic / statist tyranny as growing your own medicine and veggies may appear harmless, but in a parasitic global plutocracy it represents a decisive action that severs the tentacles of tyranny in a critically important aspect of our lives (how we access food and medicine). Thus, it is a radical and revolutionary act that appears benign to the hubristic philanthropaths and demociders, serving as a sort of covert sedition in a world governed by parasites that want us dependent, gardening to grow or own food and medicine is like a hammer wrapped in velvet that knee caps big pharma’s plans to poison us slowly through dependence on their system for health care and also strikes the spine of the digital gulag system, breaking its back so it can no longer have any strength to influence our lives through controlling our access to food/medicine.
Regenerative gardening, heirloom seed saving, seed exchanging and preserving our own food and medicine is an act rebellion that sabotages the plans of the oligarchy (and their subservient statist regimes) to use food as a weapon. The revolution will involve a handful of seeds and fermented cabbage my friends.
Happy New Year Gavin!
I’ve been meaning to ask you this question for a while.
With all the GMO being grown and sold, how can a consumer be 100% certain that the heirloom seeds they buy are non-GMO?
@FT
Glad to hear from you my friend. Happy new years to you as well 🙂
Great question.
Basically it would require first, an understanding of the reproductive morphology of individual food and medicine crops to be able to assess the potential of cross-contamination via pollen drift.
Secondarily, knowing who you bought or received your seeds from and trusting them.
For instance, if you buy “heirloom corn” seeds from a company without researching their practices and confirming the history of that particular variety, you could very well be getting very pretty looking colorful GMO laced corn (as corn pollen drifts quite a distance on the wind).
Peppers, Tomatoes and berries on the other hand, are pollinated via pollen grains moved by insects, not wind, and thus the potential for cross contamination is greatly reduced.
I am quite discerning in where I source my seeds and I imagine I have annoyed quite a few tribal seed keepers and small seed companies as I interrogated them about breeding and isolation distances practices before I bartered or bought from them.
In a nut shell, learn what plants and trees are more susceptible to long distance reproductive contamination via cross pollination, and be very judicious if you are gonna buy those seeds, also focus on seeds not susceptible to such contamination and you`ll be good.
Now all that above is relating to “conventional” rDNA gene splicing GMOs, not gene edited or “gene drived” stuff. Those other mutant Frankenstein seed areas are a whole different ball game.
Thanks very much Gavin that’s really helpful!
Thanks also for your New Year’s greeting. 🙂
I recently started a dialogue with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) with respect to GMO food. I don’t know how fruitful it will be. 🙂
Their opening salvo does not sound too promising.
Obligatory comment., Q4C…and Broc West. Can you help with the confusion?
Can you shine on the new art of statist diplomacy . RENDITION.
Why the USA population can swallow the 30 minute sitcom of world events?
We went in and got him, who? Maduros of Venezuela. Won’t the # 2 guy step up and attempt to block the coup de grae. Some kind of resistance?
Oh , we must have only scratched the surface and the underlaying oligarchy; who we really need to capture and perp- walk into the Southern District court of NYC, need to be exposed. What ? We are the perps? Oh , you mean the statist structure , the three branches of Government is the perps and us citizens? What !??! You mean we are the problem? We ask to much and if we don’t shut up we will be subject to rendition too?.
I thought kidnaping was a felony. No? Geewiz I’m confused.
Broc , please come up with a Graphic explaining my confusion. The words are getting too much like Bacon English, a picture depiction may straighten it out.? Thanks.
P.S. Jimbo, Send a little of that subscribers donation to Broc for a graphic explaining the rendition concept for Peace.
The pot calling the kettle black.
It depends on what “is” is.

YuriTopia E…
Thank you for the tip. It is a bother sometimes .Sometimes dinging them back is useful but not always . Is it a different animal in Europe?. If some AI watch dog is keeping track of a ‘ of interest ‘ poll of the public , to judge response to formulate new ” strategory” , then how will they know you are watching and interested enough to push that button, and push it hard. I see it as the new stealth vote harder with some weight.?? More weight than voting for a preselected goob for some bureaucratic position. Grooming the Corbett Report for a ” of interest metric” will be biased and may be valuable to someone but it certainly is there. Does it come before the eyes of a human somewhere ? Maybe I’m sure the taxpayers here fund that. You can count on it here in the USA… The worst of all outcomes in the USA is if we register nothing as the metric. They, them those will be emboldened if citizens stop paying attention and doing nothing in response to current events. They, them those know what a mob is and very few ways the mob can be tracked and traced and directed. If they them those get no response they push the peddle to the metal. Where as the mob gets no response they dissipate and disappear. A funny thing ,don’t you agree?.
Hey Broc !
Here is an example of a picture depiction. As you probably have done many of these, one on RENDITION as an international diplomacy tactic would be grand .
Joe Plumber produced this. You may of helped create this as far as I would know.

happy new year james et al!
with venezuela on my mind, i’m wondering what your thoughts are about the reason we’re doing a regime change is that venezuela owns the software & china the hardware that run our voting machines, & thus can hack them, which makes the “war” or whatever you want to call it with venezuela a proxy war with china.
reinette senum wrote a fascinating substack last month based on former CIA chief of station gary bernsten’s whistleblowing claim that venezuela is the mother of all election manipulation.

I think the argument in E. G. Griffin’s Need To Know (below) that this is an attempt to counter the acceptance of currencies other than the US dollar for oil sales sounds plausible.

On a solutions watch theme, as it is definitely my favourite thread of James’, I have a few solutions that I have started this year:
1- today I went self-employed and will working on projects, with clients, that align with my principles as a voluntaryist (thank you for bringing that concept into clarity). I thought about who I supported with my hard earned cash when I came to get services such as insurance (a mutual), an accountant (a local business), and which software i will use (I am about to become a Linux convert as well as graphene os on a smart phone).
2- growing some of my own food. I already have chickens, some perennial plants (you plant them once) adding to my fruit and nut trees, berry bushes, herbs, and growing some annual vegetables. I always grow extra so will gift them to others. (I was so glad to see this on solutions watch, often the radical appears mundane)
3- start a diploma in permaculture, the certificate in permaculture design was brilliant and was a lot of common sense. (Permaculture is of course much more than growing plants)
4- not so much lose weight but get stronger and feel fitter. I got myself a kayak, and will be getting on my bicycle again, continue with yoga and practice it more.
5- deepen my language learning more by reading in my second language; Spanish. I love communicating with people and being able to think in another language is good mind gymnastics.
6- learn to play guitar, I just learnt how to re-string mine and I’d like to learn and then make my own protest songs like Violeta Parra.
In the last years during and since the lockdowns I became acutely aware of power structures and how normal people become powerless. I have since then strived to help myself, help others, and talk very calmly about the truth or contradictions to it. Having self-will or self-power is often less convenient, but yet not a bother, and I often find people finding some of my behaviours novel and amusing, I can see they are thinking. I am by no means perfect but if many of us act in a more self-willing way and with kindness that will become the new norm.
Thank you Corbett team for being incredibly inspiring, well researched, critical, empowering, rightly disappointed, rightly celebratory, and for laying out some excellent sources, thoughts, and discussions that have really enriched my life.
May 2026 be the year of the mundane radicals. Live and be happy.
Congrats on the recent upgrades to your website!
The top Menu items are very sensible, especially the Series addition.
For a refresher on recycled plans, goals and directives of TPTSB and their mad scientists on the payrolls.
At what point are you.concerned and at what point do you become afraid?
Elanna Freeland. Part 2 of the three part series. From 2017. You will notice that not much has changed. Some revolations of things that did occur and many more yet to come. The 5g cell towers that delivered COVID was so prophetic. That is at the beginning . Enjoy.

That year went by absurdly fast. Like 3 months.
My goal for 2026 is to bring back the videos link. I’m assembling the change.org petition right now.
Just checked my profile on here and found out i’ve been a subscriber for a full 5 years now. Wow, time flies.
I found an actual mortician commenting on Jeffry Epstein “death photos”, spoiler alert he was very much alive when those photos were taken. https://youtu.be/9exzWqnuPmg
Happy New Year to you James and team. Thank you for all the continued hard work and looking forward to trying to keep up to speed with you in the year to come!
My hopes for this year are to spend more time on our recently purchase land, get our own water, electricity and start planning on creating our own little kingdom of self sufficiency and homesteading.
I hope to spend more time outside more time reading more time learning and most of all more time with my family!
I’ve also decided to learn an instrument the Irish Bodhran.
Despite all the goings on in the world we are determined that this is going to be a good year! Full of achieving what we want and preparing ourselves for what’s coming down the line.
So that’s my positive outlook for the year to come!
I just bought the audible reportage because my eye sight is poor. I’ve downloaded it but this is my first experience with audio books and I don’t know what to do with the file to be able to listen to it and I’m hoping someone here can help me.
Thanks in advance.
You should be able to use VLC Media Player to listen to .mp3 files regardless of whether the file is downloaded on your phone or comptuer 🙂
Thank you so much not being very computer wise. I entered the zip file in VLC player and I can listen to it. One more question is there a way to get chapters to play in the correct order? When I click play it starts with “How to enjoy your servitude” Page 179 instead of the beginning of the book. Thank you again I’m looking so forward to listening.
It depends on the structure of the file you’ve loaded, and the ability of the player to properly recognize and work with that structure. Did you unzip the file before opening with VLC? Depending on the device you use there are many options for audio viles. VLC is primarly for video, so may not be your best option. I would try whatever you normally use to listen to music.
Maybe you could try a dedicated audiobook player like Audibly? If you’re on Windows 10/11 you can download from the store and give that a go. Or, as a suggested you can try listening where you listen to your music and see if that’s an even easier route 😉
I finally finished my copy of Reportage I bought when it first launched…Only because it thrust me back into my love of reading and I finished mutliple books for the first time in years. I loved the last few essays and I am now more than ever motivated to start a daily writing habit. I remember as a little girl I wanted a diary to write in so bad that I made my mom get one and write in it for me lol It’s such a clear childhood memory, I can still remember the smell of the scented pages. I write down book ideas in my notes app but then never dedicate much time into the actual writing even though the ideas keep floating around in my head. I think it’s time for them to get out into the world.
I also agree with James about getting back to that childhood sense of wonder and creativity. I have been on this journey myself and can’t believe the world that ends up waking up around you when you’re grateful and present. I tell the sunrises and sunsets how beautiful they are. I talk to the birds and the squirrels while I’m out walking my dog. I say hello to the moon when I step outside at night or in the morning and I send blessings to people in planes that fly over me. Then I started noticing little synchronicities everywhere, like today I found the comment “Strange game. The only winning move is not to play.” while watching a random (non Corbett) Youtube video, only to have finished James’ book last night and read that exact quote. I even went and looked it up in the book to make sure I wasn’t imagining it. I freaking love it!!! I’m so open and ready to build another beautiful year, ignoring those pathocrats and their never ending lies more than ever.
@Stephchop
>>Then I started noticing little synchronicities everywhere>>
While I am a big believer of our thoughts creating our reality I don’t mean to step on yours, but…
What you most likely are experiencing is the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon:
“frequency illusion” Brain takes note of something alerts you when it sees it again-on the road, TV, in conversations, etc.
Buy a yellow VW and soon you see them everywhere.
But indeed keep on putting yourself into reality through conversations with stuff. It is far better to be in the here and now then caught in the web of false reality (TV, Movies, Internet, etc.) Tests have shown that talking to your water gives it harmonious crystal formation and talking bad makes it jumbled.
I do it all the time.
Keep searching for…
WHO ARE YOU (song)
https://old.bitchute.com/video/4qQvl1sCbUhf/
Oh I definitely think that is happening too. My lucky numbers are 7 and 23 and I see 723 or 237 everywhere but still take it as good sign because why the heck not 🙂
But I do think the things I have been experiencing lately go deeper than my own thoughts or a frequency illusion. On the morning of my birthday last year a friend was visited by Sandhill Cranes which are one of my favorite birds. Another friend, who I met when I was ten years old, and was born the day before me at the same hospital (so we were likely in the same nursery as babies) told me I was in her dream the night of her birthday going into mine. I told her I’ve been trying to use my dreams to astral project and maybe I found her to celebrate LOL it’s this kind of stuff that keeps occurring and I love it.
I completely agree, the false reality tastes so bad all I can do is spit it out and reject it. And thank you for sharing your song, I ask myself that question a lot. I also asked the same question to my dog the other day haha
@Stephchop
Thanks.
The difficulty I have found that in the majority of alt “news” sites there seems to be no room for metaphysical discussion. If you haven’t come across it yet there are lots of people talking and showing evidence regarding the Mandella Effect (where things in memory are not the same as current reality) and the Mud Flood/Reset from the 1800’s starting with the simple question: How did horse and wagon culture with no electricity, shipping systems, tools, etc. build those remarkable cathedrals around the world?
My life experience has had a lot of tribal influence, even wrote a book about it. Dream state work is really fascinating. Some folks will put a clear crystal under their pillow to assist in dream work. In my book I share what I learned about “waking up” in one’s dream and then finding someplace in the dream to sleep again and “wake up” in that dream.
My elders could go many dreams deep. I could only go one but it was quite wonderful. When you “wake up” in your dream look at something familiar like your hand, etc. to anchor the experience.
The controllers with their brilliant madness have stripped away esoteric behavior and practice since colonizing America. Even took away the Native American Sun Dance ceremony. In modern times they have used their weapons of mass distraction…the entertainment industry, TV, Movies, Music, plus newspapers, magazines, etc. to make fun of and put down any behavior that goes outside of the demanded boundaries, with “kooky” behavior in film, etc.; fortune telling quacks, and labels like tin foil hat or druggies for those who choose to use sacred plants for inner journeys.
A good place to start:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEhXtNn8_j8
Thank you so much for the video, I listened while on my lunch break (and loved that the channel was called My Lunch Break haha). I found it very fascinating and will watch part two. This is the exact kind of thing that preoccupies a lot of my mind lately…
Now dreams within dreams will also be occupying my thoughts! That is some of the coolest stuff I’ve heard in a long time. I think I need to start sleeping with some clear quartz under my pillow. Is your book published because I would love to read it. I’ve been trying to find a good book on dream work but then pull away because I’m so cynical I think the controllers taint every topic. Especially anything spiritual.
James, would you consider a subscription to all your archived data, meaning every year we would automatically be opted into the latest content as long as we continue paying the monthly fee? I would be interested. You could share the data via SFTP, links to secure upload locations with a set time-to-live link, etc.
I really like the physical copy idea, but would like access to everything without having to pay a big up front cost, and have the option to download it onto my own device over time. Some of the oldest file sharing on the internet started with news groups (usenet), and that technology is still a primary method of sharing data today.
I use the term Statism in my educational writing quite often (as James does here) and come across people that have no idea what I am talking about. This recently forced me to realize how effectively the statist belief system renders itself invisible to the masses.
Statism is so ubiquitous and normalized on earth now it renders itself incognito. We have become like the fish swimming in water without a non-water frame of reference to describe the water.
Our indigenous ancestors however (yes we all have them regardless of skin color or ancestry) came face to face with statism and saw it clearly for what it is. They lived before statism dominated the earth, and so to them, it was an imperialistic force attempting to replace their place based decentralized animist worldviews and leadership structures with a centralized governance structure enforced by violent coercion and funded by state sanctified theft (aka taxation).
Put simply , statism is the belief system and governance structure that uses violence to extract labor, energy (sometimes money sometimes other forms) and obedience from diverse groups of people in the interest of furthering the goals of those that dominate said systems.
Statism is exclusively anthropocentric (as perpetual economic growth is an imperative and all ecological considerations are secondary to that).
It is that which turns a land that is biodiverse and culturally diverse into a land that is a biodiversity depleted monoculture and a culturally and spiritually impoverished, uniform and oppressed collection of human beings.
It is the bulldozer that flattens both forests and your unique spiritual essence and replaces them with a strip mall and a “patriotic” implanted identity that stunts your true potential.
The task before us then, is not so much to reveal statism (as that may be impossible for those so engrossed within it to see anything outside of it) but rather to embody the antithesis of statism. One might describe the polar opposite of statism in a variety of terms such as bioregionalism, place based culture, indigeneity, agorism or voluntaryism (though strictly defined terms, as James astutely pointed out when he interviewed me about Regenerative Agriculture, can become a prison and weapon of sorts).
So what are the core tenets of a person or community that is the antidote and/or antithesis of Statism?
– Loyalty to your local community members above all else (that includes the community members you depend upon that are not human beings by the way). That means loyalty to your watershed, your bioregion and your neighborhood (for all of those communities directly influence your health, longevity, knowledge and skillsets).
– Seeing all life as sacred and worthy of respect (statism seeks to profit from all life)
– Refusing to support systems that desecrate the sacred, inflict oppression on our fellow community members and engage in theft.
– An intimate knowledge of, love and willingness to defend the place where you live.
Good news for crypto (and CBDC):
Ethereum ready to solve blockchain trilemma: Vitalik Buterin
https://cointelegraph.com/news/blockchain-trilemma-solved-zkevms-and-peerdas-vitalik-buterin
Excerpt:
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin claims Ethereum has “solved” one of the biggest challenges in crypto: the blockchain trilemma.
In a X post on Saturday, Buterin emphasized the potential of peer data availability sampling (PeerDAS) and Zero-Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machines (zkEVMs), noting that these two upgrades are making Ethereum “a fundamentally new and more powerful kind of decentralized network.”
“Now, Ethereum with PeerDAS (2025) and ZK-EVMs (expect small portions of the network using it in 2026), we get: decentralized, consensus and high bandwidth,” he said, adding:
“The trilemma has been solved — not on paper, but with live running code, of which one half (data availability sampling) is *on mainnet today*, and the other half (ZK-EVMs) is *production-quality on performance today* — safety is what remains.”
This is not good news, but EVERYONE should be aware.
The Coming Noahide Laws & Global Greater Israel
https://geopoliticsandempire.com/2025/12/16/noahide-laws-greater-israel/
