America has seen two violent murders in the span of one week, Iryna Zarutska and Charlie Kirk. What appears to tie the two together is the influence of what passes for a leftish world view these days. A view that made it possible for Zarutska’s killer to roam free despite countless arrests, as well as requests for psychological treatment. That guy should never have been on that train, and just about everyone who’s been in contact with him knows why. Woke society decided to set him free.

Charlie Kirk became a victim of his association with Donald Trump. If you can’t get to the boss, look at those around him. It’s very painfully ironic that Charlie lived by the word, not the sword. His favoite terrain was the dialogue, the exchange of ideas, but that’s not everyone’s favorite. Still, he wasn’t a far right wing activist or anything like it.

Violence in America comes from the left, they just about have secured a monopoly on it, while maintaining the illusion that it’s the right that is the real threat. That’s one false idea that needs urgent correction.

We’re going to let it all sink in, and read about it, and have the dialogue that Charlie loved so much, but what remains more than anything right now is the pain. As for Iryna: you’re beautiful. It breaks our hearts that we couldn’t save you.

 

 

“”I don’t know why this is affecting me so personally.” Its because in Charlie you see yourself, the most polite version of yourself, the most articulate, the most charitable to your enemies. And even that wouldn’t be enough to save you from them.”

• “Dark Moment For America” – Trump Addresses The Nation (ZH) /span>

Update (2114ET) President Trump addressed the nation from the Oval Office on the senseless political assassination of Charlie Kirk at a Turning Point event at Utah Valley University, calling it a “dark moment for America.” Trump called Kirk a “martyr for truth” and vowed to crack down on the radical left… The president continued:

“My administration will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity and to other political violence, including the organizations that fund it and support it, as well as those who go after our judges, law enforcement officials, and everyone else who brings order to our country. I am filled with grief and anger at the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk on a college campus in Utah. Charlie inspired millions, tonight all who knew him and loved him are united in shock and horror.

From the attack on my life in Butler, Pennsylvania last year, which killed a husband and father, to the attacks on ICE agents, to the vicious murder of a healthcare executive in the streets of New York, to the shooting of House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and three others. Radical left political violence has hurt too many innocent people and taken too many lives. Tonight, I ask all Americans to commit themselves to the American values for which Charlie Kirk lived and died, the values of free speech, citizenship, the rule of law. His legacy will live on for countless generations to come. Today, because of this heinous act, Charlie’s voice has become bigger and grander than ever before, and it’s not even close. May God bless his memory. May God watch over his family.”

Our takeaway is that the radical left, which has been funding chaos through dark-money NGOs and other groups, is about to get a major wake-up call from the Trump administration. A move to counter these rogue NGOs could be just one executive order away. Stay tuned.

Kirk made a name for himself about winning debates in “proper democratic fashion” …

Civil terrorism expert Jason Curtis Anderson of One City Rising states:

“The assassination of Charlie Kirk marks a dangerous escalation in America’s culture war—where the battle of ideas is now escalating into political violence against those who run organizations devoted to debate and civil discourse. Very few people grasp the gravity of this moment . Incidents like this don’t exist in isolation; they risk triggering a chain of events that can further destabilize the country. Whether it’s the anti-ICE movement, pro-Palestinian agitators, anarchist networks, or NGO-backed permanent protest groups like Indivisible, we are watching the rise of something new and deeply alarming. As Tal Fortgang wrote in City Journal, America is entering a new era of civil terrorism—where the goal is no longer peaceful protest, but intimidation, silencing, and destabilization of our democratic order.”

Like us, many are struggling to find the words to discuss this but @Merovingianus offered some useful insight:

“Among all the justifiable outrage over the years, Charlie Kirk has consistently been one the calmest and most polite among us. Someone shot him and the entire scope of the Left is celebrating. If we do not act accordingly we might as well surrender now. I’ve seen several people saying something along the lines of “I don’t know why this is affecting me so personally.” Its because in Charlie you see yourself, the most polite version of yourself, the most articulate, the most charitable to your enemies. And even that wouldn’t be enough to save you from them. It is because you are seeing that the marketplace of ideas you grew up believing as sacred is now a war zone that will get you killed and you’re struggling to reconcile the world you live in with the world you grew up in.

You are struggling to comprehend and incorporate the irrefutable evidence that this political divide isn’t one solved by polite exchange of ideas and that we are in a nation at war with itself.”

RIP Charlie.

Let’s have 1,000 murals each all over the country for Iryna Zarutska and Charlie Kirk.

• Elon Musk Jumps In On Iryna Zarutska Mural Project (Tim O’Brien)

After George Floyd died and in the mayhem over the Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots, a cottage industry of artistic murals erupted, transforming Floyd from a common street thug into a saintly martyr. Within days of his death, a mural was painted on the site where Floyd died at the Cup Foods convenience store at 38th Street and Chicago Avenue. Shortly thereafter, a second mural was painted nearby. This sparked artists across the country and around the world to add to the contrived mythology of Floyd, creating murals in places as far away as Idlib, Syria, Barcelona, Spain, Dublin, and Berlin. The murals were one of the few purely peaceful ways Floyd was honored at the time.

Fast forward to this week, when news of the murder of Iryna Zarutska broke, and conservatives and everyday people were outraged, while the legacy media and the Left remained silent. No riots, no looting from the right, but plenty of anger. That anger, and a respect for Zarutska, appears to have inspired the CEO and founder of Intercom, Eoghan McCabe, to post on X that he’s “offering $500k in $10k grants to paint murals of the face of Iryna Zarutska in prominent US city locations.” He then provided an email address to learn more about this impromptu memorial project.

This morning, Elon Musk posted on X: “I will contribute $1M.” With momentum like this, expect to start seeing the face of Zarutska in a city near you. Who is McCabe? He’s a Berkeley-based entrepreneur who is prominent in the AI customer service sector. Earlier this week, like millions of Americans, he was outraged by the cold-blooded killing of Zarutska. He called for quick consequences for the person convicted of this crime, “I do think that rapid, public executions for crimes like this are a spiritual goal that we should point ourselves towards. I worry about Western society if we can’t react in proportion to how evil this is.” In another post on X, McCabe said, “It’s an objective fact that leftism is responsible for this[.] The leftist politicians who kept this monster free are evil, and must be very severely punished[.]”

Zarutska’s murder has outraged Americans for a number of reasons this week. The killing itself was so sudden and so gruesome on public transportation in a relatively safe city like Charlotte, that anyone who spends any time in public spaces can easily imagine something like this happening to them. The fact that the killing happened on August 22, but it only emerged in the public consciousness over a week later, and only on social media at first, is unsettling. How can such an inhuman act not make national news. Related to this is the reaction on the right. The cultural dilemma for everyone is based on trust in the news media. If the news media willfully ignores or even buries a story like this to advance its narratives, then what good is it?

Matt Margolis detailed how wretched the legacy media behaved once conservatives shamed it into covering the story. A healthy media landscape would shout this news early and often as a warning to America that something needs to be done about crime and the people who commit it. Now. Instead, through its silence and even worse, for blaming conservatives for noticing the murder, the news media has decidedly taken a stance in favor of more crime, more murder, more killings of people like Zarutska at the hands of hardened criminals like Decarlos Brown, Jr.

A story that tells itself.

• “Art Must Always Tell The Truth” (CTH)

Popular artist Banksy created a graffiti mural in London depicting the current state of the UK censorship system using the courts to trample the rights of British citizens:

It did not take long for the authorities to cover the mural and eventually attempt to remove it.

However, what remained of the artwork was the essential core of the truth.

I particularly like the fact the govt turned the CCTV camera, so they can monitor who might visit the scene of the criminal dissent.

Apparently, the British government doesn’t quite see the irony.

Intriguing take: “..some drones used by Ukrainian and Russian forces for mutual attacks “lost their track as a result of the impact of the parties’ electronic warfare assets.”

• Kremlin Responds To Polish ‘Drone Attack’ Claims (RT)

Moscow has dismissed Poland’s latest claim that Russian drones breached the country’s air space. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said no evidence has been provided linking the UAVs to Russia. On Wednesday, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated that the country’s military had shot down a “huge number of Russian drones.” Warsaw has described the incident as an “unprecedented violation of Polish airspace” and an “act of aggression.” However, Peskov has dismissed the accusations, pointing out that “The EU and NATO leadership accuse Russia of provocation on a daily basis. Most often, without even trying to provide any arguments.”

He further noted that, to his knowledge, the Kremlin has not yet received any request for contact from the Polish leadership over the incident. Meanwhile, Russia’s charge d’affaires in Warsaw, Andrey Ordash, told RIA Novosti that when he was summoned to the Polish Foreign Ministry on Wednesday, the Polish authorities did not provide any evidence that the downed UAVs belonged to Russia. He noted that the drones had flown into Poland from Ukraine. Tusk has claimed, however, that the aircraft came from Belarus rather than Ukraine, and characterized the incident as a Russian “provocation.” The Belarusian military had previously reported giving Poland early warning that some drones used by Ukrainian and Russian forces for mutual attacks “lost their track as a result of the impact of the parties’ electronic warfare assets.”

After announcing the alleged airspace violation, Tusk formally invoked Article 4 of NATO’s founding treaty, which provides for consultations in case one of the bloc’s members believes its security is threatened. Last week, former Polish President Andzej Duda referenced a November 2022 incident in which a Ukrainian missile landed on Polish territory. Kiev insisted it was an intentional Russian attack and called for NATO-level retaliation. Duda said that Ukrainian authorities were trying to get the US-led bloc into a direct confrontation with Russia, describing such a scenario as a “dream” for Kiev, but unacceptable for Poland.

“.. once we get this peace settled, we could have a very productive economic relationship with both Russia and Ukraine..”

• Trump Against Economic Isolation of Russia – Vance (RT)

US President Donald Trump does not view attempts to isolate Russia economically as a sustainable strategy and believes trilateral cooperation involving Moscow, Kiev, and Washington could ensure lasting peace in Eastern Europe, Vice President J.D. Vance said on Tuesday. In an interview with One America News Network, Vance described joint ventures with Russia as “one of the carrots” the Trump administration is offering in efforts to broker an end to the Ukraine conflict. The approach contrasts with Western European leaders who have sought to dismantle Russian trade ties, arguing that past decades of energy reliance on Moscow were a strategic mistake, but in doing so they have significantly worsened their own economic situation.

“The president’s been very open with both the Europeans and the Russians that he doesn’t see any reason why we should economically isolate Russia except for the continuation of the conflict,” Vance said. He stressed that Russia possessed vast natural resources whether other parties liked it or not, and that “once we get this peace settled, we could have a very productive economic relationship with both Russia and Ukraine.” Shared economic growth, he added, could be “the best guarantee of a long-term peace.”

Vance contrasted Trump’s stance with that of the previous administration, which he said poured American resources into Ukraine without any real exit plan. He was responding to host Matt Gaetz’s claims that behind closed doors Moscow was offering to increase use of the US dollar in energy trade to help ease American domestic prices. Last week, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas accused Trump of “weakening” allies with trade tariffs and undermining Western unity. Russian officials have highlighted the benefits of renewed cooperation with the US. President Vladimir Putin said Russian businesses had both capital and technology to pursue lucrative joint projects, including gas extraction ventures in Alaska and the Arctic, if Washington is willing to give political approval.

Like the spring 2022 Bucha false flag before it, the Yarovaya provocation looks like a fresh push to break off the peace process, and blame Russia.”

• ‘Russian Strike on Pension Queue’ Claims Debunked (Sp.)

Ukrainian officials have accused Russia of killing 24 people on line to collect pensions in the village of Yarovaya in the Ukrainian-occupied area of the Donetsk People’s Republic. Here’s why the claims don’t hold up. “The world must not remain silent,” Zelensky urged after publicizing the incident, demanding a “response” from the US and Europe. There’s just one problem: the incident bears all the hallmarks of a false flag. Here’s evidence. A Russian MoD source told Sputnik that Russian forces did not carry out any attacks in the vicinity of Yarovaya on September 9, with the last strike in the area carried out on the night of September 7, and targeting an area near the neighboring settlement of Novosyolovka on the line of contact. No reports on casualties were issues before Zelensky made his claims.

Info about the ‘Russian strike’ was immediately disseminated by Zelensky-aligned social media and immediately picked up by Ukrainian and Western media. Footage presented by the Ukrainian side shows landmarks that can be easily be determined on satellite maps, including the post office building, a local memorial and trees surrounding both. The destruction in the footage doesn’t even come close to matching the shape and size of a Russian aerial bomb (Russian 100 kg FAB-250 and 200 kg FAB-500 bombs’ destructive radius and power is incomparably greater than that shown in the video). Instead, the destruction looks more like the result of the detonation of an explosive device with the equivalent of just a few kg of TNT.

Yarovaya is one of the increasingly few areas of the DPR still under Ukraine’s control, signifying Kiev’s rejection of Russia’s negotiating position for ending the conflict, which includes full Ukrainian withdrawal from the Donbass. The provocation comes on the heels of last month’s summit meeting between Putin and Trump, during which Trump backed off on US sanctions threats. Like the spring 2022 Bucha false flag before it, the Yarovaya provocation looks like a fresh push to break off the peace process, and blame Russia.

“..an amateurish and dim top diplomat becomes a disgrace to be ashamed of before the world, even among embarrassed friends.”

The word diplomat is losing its meaning, if it’s not already gone. A diplomat must engage in diplomacy, be diplomatic. Kallas obviously doesn’t fit that notion.

• Wondering Why The EU Is So Screwed? Just Look At Its Top Diplomat (Amar)

Kaja Kallas, the European Union’s de facto foreign minister (and former prime minister of Estonia), is unusually, grotesquely incompetent, even for an unelected EU apparatchik. Like former German Foreign Minister Annalena “360 Degrees” Baerbock – now instagraming like an excited upper-class teenager from her ill-begotten UN sinecure in New York – Kallas also displays an enormous capacity for being pleased with herself. She appears never happier than when holding a mic to her own platitudes, presented in a mortifyingly basic form of very labored English, while being obsequiously soft-balled by a fawning interviewer. In both cases, the contrast between the self-image and reality is jarring: Kallas and Baerbock’s obvious, glaring lack of intellectual ability, elementary education, and basic professional know-how should have ended their misguided career ambitions long ago.

Yet, instead, Kallas, like Baerbock, has not only rapidly fallen up the slippery ladder of career and privilege. She has done so in a particularly visible area. High officials responsible for the economy, for instance, can do – and do – enormous damage. But those in charge of foreign policy are no less dangerous, while, literally, publicly representing tens or hundreds of millions of people. A professional and intelligent foreign minister – such as, for instance, China’s Wang Yi, India’s S. Jaishankar, or Russia’s Sergey Lavrov – can enhance respect for a country or bloc even among its critics or opponents. However, an amateurish and dim top diplomat becomes a disgrace to be ashamed of before the world, even among embarrassed friends. They’re perhaps worse: a laughingstock, signaling that whoever chooses to be represented by a fool must be foolish as well.

With Kaja Kallas’s tenure as the EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, both cringe and ridicule are abundant. Her recent peak performances have included a truly inane take on the history of the Second World War, silly and rather racist musings on the general abilities of “the Russians” and “the Chinese,” and, of course, a preposterous attempt to blame them – plus Iran and North Korea – for disrupting our brave old world of a rules-bound order that includes the Gaza genocide, compliments of Israel and the West. Regarding what Kallas mistakes for history, the high-flyer from Estonia has opined that she was surprised by claims that Russia and China fought together in and won World War II. Of course, that’s simply a fact: Both countries were and are widely recognized as prominent members of the alliance that defeated global fascism in Europe and Asia.

Indeed, if Kallas were capable of telling an intern to Google the matter or consult the online version of the Encyclopedia Britannica, she’d find out quickly that China and Russia (then the core of the Soviet Union) are counted among the “Big Four” core of the alliance (alongside Great Britain and the US). This place was earned with rivers of blood: China and the Soviet Union were the two most brutally devastated countries in World War Two. China fought massive Japanese forces, and Russia broke the spine of Nazi Germany’s Wehrmacht. Even busy Estonian collaborators could not save the day for the Führer.

“..using the Ukraine conflict to financially chain its member nations so that it can subjugate them and strip them of their sovereignty..”

• EU Uses Ukraine Conflict To Create ‘United States Of Europe’ – Orban (TASS)

The leadership of the European Union is using the Ukraine conflict to financially chain its member nations so that it can subjugate them and strip them of their sovereignty, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban believes. “The Brusselian elite are pushing joint indebtedness to strip nations of their sovereignty and drag us toward a United States of Europe. They want to use the war in Ukraine as the pretext to shackle us all financially. We must look beyond the battlefield to the future of the Union itself: free nations or submission to unelected bureaucrats?” he wrote on the X social network. The Hungarian Prime Minister noted that by doing this, the EU is making a last-ditch effort to preserve itself as currently formulated. Earlier, Orban said that the EU bureaucratic center had ceased to play the role of coordinator of the bloc and has turned into a “Frankenstein pursuing its own interests.”

He stressed that when the EU was created, it was agreed that power would be concentrated in the hands of individual nations, but now Brussels is trying to centralize that power. According to the politician, the leadership of the association is encroaching on the sovereignty of its participants, and failing to resolve any crises along the way. Since the very beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, the Hungarian government has consistently advocated for its peaceful resolution and has called on its allies to resume dialogue with Russia. Hungary also refuses to support Ukraine’s accelerated accession to the EU, warning that this would cause serious damage to the European economy and could lead to a direct military clash with Russia.

Raw power game.

• Brussels Pushing To Silence Dissent Among EU Members (RT)

The European Commission has announced plans to scrap consensus-based decision-making in EU foreign policy, in a step that could sideline member states resisting Brussels’ line. Brussels has long weighed replacing unanimity – a founding principle of EU foreign policy – with majority voting, arguing the change would speed up decisions and stop individual states from blocking measures such as sanctions and military aid for Ukraine. Under the current system, all 27 members must agree for decisions to pass. The proposed reform would require a qualified majority, meaning decisions would be adopted if backed by a set threshold of states. In her ‘state of the union’ address on Wednesday, Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said it was time to “break free from the shackles of unanimity,” and insisted that the bloc act “faster.”

“I believe that we need to move to qualified majority in some areas, for example in foreign policy,” she stated. The EC chief, who has repeatedly invoked the “Russian threat” to justify military aid to Ukraine, sanctions, and the push for accelerated militarization, was met with opposition from Slovakia and Hungary. Both governments have repeatedly threatened to use their veto powers to block EU actions they view as harmful to their national interests. Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has warned that removing members’ veto power on foreign policy would spell the end of the bloc and could be “the precursor of a huge military conflict.”

Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban has dismissed officials in Brussels as “bureaucrats” and argued that abandoning consensus would undermine national sovereignty, as member states could be dragged into wars without their consent. Orban said the EU is on the verge of collapse and will not survive beyond the next decade without a “fundamental structural overhaul” and disentanglement from the Ukraine conflict. Moscow has accused the West of pursuing “uncontrolled militarization” to prepare for war with Russia, while dismissing claims it intends to attack NATO or EU states as “nonsense.” Russian officials, including President Vladimir Putin, have accused Western leaders of fearmongering to justify inflated military budgets and to cover up their economic failures, insisting that aid to Kiev only prolongs the hostilities.

Hahaha:

“Ukraine will only pay back the loan once Russia pays for the reparations,” she said.”

• EU Eyes Russian Assets For Ukraine ‘Reparations Loan’ (RT)

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has proposed leveraging Russian assets illegally frozen in the EU for a “reparations loan” for Ukraine. Delivering a state of the union address to the EU parliament on Wednesday, the former German defense minister did not propose outright confiscation of the Russian assets, reportedly comprising some $300 billion. Moscow has condemned the asset freeze and warned that seizure would amount to “robbery” and violate international law, while also backfiring on the West. Von der Leyen introduced what she said was an urgently needed new mechanism to finance Kiev’s warchest, using Russia’s immobilized funds. Western nations ordered the freezing of the assets – some €200 billion of which is held by privately owned Brussels-based clearinghouse Euroclear – after the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022.

The funds have accrued billions in interest, and the West has explored ways to use the revenue to finance Ukraine. ”With the cash balances associated to these Russian assets, we can provide Ukraine with a reparations loan,” von der Leyen claimed, noting that “the assets themselves will not be touched” and that the risk would have to be “carried collectively.” “Ukraine will only pay back the loan once Russia pays for the reparations,” she said. The money, von der Leyen added, would fund Kiev’s military and ensure the security of the civilian population. Von der Leyen gave no figures, while the G7 last year backed a plan to provide Kiev with $50 billion in loans to be repaid using the profits. The EU pledged $21 billion.

She also announced an initiative aimed at boosting Ukraine’s military, including through a proposed “drone alliance,” explaining that the EU would “frontload” €6 billion. The proposal stops short of confiscation, which most EU states reject due to financial and legal risks. Several countries have also dismissed the idea of a “reparations loan,” warning it could breach international law. Belgium has been especially vocal. Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot said shifting those assets would endanger Belgium’s credibility as a financial hub. “Confiscating those Russian sovereign assets is really not an option,” Prevot said. “It would be a very bad signal to other countries worldwide” and could also “erode confidence and trust in the euro,” according to the minister.

Did they miss them on purpose? Or do they just have poor aim?

• Gulf Cooperation Council to Support Any Action by Qatar After Israeli Attack (Sp.)

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) stands in solidarity with Qatar and will support any response following the Israeli strikes on Doha, GCC Secretary General Jasem Albudaiwi said. “The Council states express full solidarity with the State of Qatar and support any measures it takes,” GCC Secretary General Jasem Albudaiwi said. On Tuesday, the Israel Defense Forces said it had carried out strikes in Doha targeting senior officials of Palestinian movement Hamas. Eyewitnesses told Sputnik that several explosions occurred in the center of Qatar’s capital. World powers, including the United Kingdom, Germany and India, have condemned the Israeli airstrike on Hamas members in Doha and called for restraint.

“Today’s airstrike by Israel against Hamas leaders in Doha breaches international law and Qatar’s territorial integrity, and risks a further escalation of violence in the region,” the European External Action Service said in a statement. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned Israel’s strike and called for “immediate ceasefire, the release of hostages, and a huge surge in aid into Gaza.” India is concerned about the Israeli airstrike on Doha and calls for restraint to ensure peace and security in the region are not jeopardized, the Indian Foreign Ministry noted. “The Netherlands condemns the Israeli airstrike in Doha. The sovereignty of states must be respected. Additionally, this step doesn’t bring a much needed ceasefire in the Gaza Strip any closer,” Dutch Foreign Minister David van Weel said on X.

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul noted that the Israeli attack not only violates Qatar’s territorial sovereignty, “but also jeopardizes our efforts to free the hostages.” Wadeful urged all parties to make every effort to achieve a ceasefire and free the hostages. “Cuba expresses its strongest condemnation of the Israeli attack on the Hamas headquarters in Doha, which constitutes a new extrajudicial execution by Zionism, a flagrant violation of international law and the sovereignty of Qatar, and a serious threat to regional security and stability,” Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla said on X.

Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil also condemned “the cowardly attack by the [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu regime on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Qatar,” calling the airstrike “an act of state terrorism, a flagrant violation of international law and a challenge to the principles of peaceful coexistence among nations.” On Tuesday, the Israel Defense Forces said it had carried out strikes in Doha targeting senior officials of Palestinian movement Hamas. Eyewitnesses told RIA Novosti that several explosions occurred in the center of Qatar’s capital.

An eye for an eye hands the world to the blind.

• We’ll Get Them Next Time – Israeli Envoy Rues Hamas-Qatar Strike Failure (RT)

Israel is determined to kill Hamas leaders wherever they reside and will continue its efforts until they are all dead, Israeli Ambassador to the United States Yechiel Leiter told Fox News on Tuesday. Earlier in the day, Israeli airstrikes hit a residential building in Doha, Qatar, targeting senior figures of Hamas’ political wing. The group said its officials survived, while the attack has been criticized by the White House and condemned by Qatar. “If we didn’t get them this time, we’ll get them the next time,” Leiter said. The ambassador described Hamas as “enemies of Western civilization” and argued that Israel’s actions were reshaping the Middle East in ways “moderate” states understood and valued. “Right now, we may be subject to a little bit of criticism. They’ll get over it,” he said of the Arab countries.

US President Donald Trump said that while dismantling Hamas was a legitimate goal, striking a US ally undermined both American and Israeli interests. Leiter noted that Israel had “never had a better friend in the White House” and that Washington and West Jerusalem remained united in seeking the militant group’s destruction. Qatar, which hosts Hamas officials as part of its role as a mediator, said a Qatari security officer was among six people killed in the Israeli strike. Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani has denounced the attack as a “heinous crime” and an “act of aggression,” while Doha’s Foreign Ministry has accused Israel of “state terrorism.”

Israel has vowed to hunt down Hamas leaders, who it blames for the deadly October 2023 attack which was launched from Gaza into southern Israel. The ambassador vowed that those responsible “are not going to survive,” no matter where they are. Israel’s military response has left at least 64,000 dead in Gaza, according to local authorities. Critics have accused West Jerusalem of committing genocide by rendering the blockaded enclave uninhabitable and worsening famine conditions through restrictions on food aid.

“Get ready for Israel’s next war–Washington’s military attack on Iran. Russia and China, by leaving Iran unprotected, have invited the attack.”

• Unaccountable Israel (Paul Craig Roberts)

The Criminal State of Israel continues to initiate acts of war against states that are not at war with Israel. The most recent was an Israeli attack on a residential building in Qatar. Qatar’s Foreign Ministry accused Israel of “state terrorism.” A residential building is a place where people reside. Israel’s criminal action managed to kill six Qatari citizens, but not the Hamas leaders Israel allegedly was targeting. Israel’s ambassador to Washington, Yechiel Leiter, described Israel’s enemies as “enemies of Western civilization,” but Hamas has made no attacks on Western civilization. Leiter dismissed Israel’s critics with “they’ll get over it,” they always do. To calm the troubled waters Leiter played Israel’s US card: “Israel has never had a better friend in the White House and Washington and Israel are united in seeking the destruction of Hamas.”

Leiter summed up: “If we didn’t get them this time, we’ll get them the next time.” Qatar has joined Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, and the United States if you believe those who explain that Israel was involved in the murder of President John F. Kennedy as countries that are victims of Israel’s self-righteous aggression. Yet Israel remains protected by the US, UK, EU, and the rest of the Western world, by most of what little remains of the Arab world, and by Putin. Yet Russia is demonized for protecting Russians in the Russian areas of Ukraine from massacre by neo-Nazis. How have Ukrainian neo-Nazis, financed and supported by Washington and Israel, avoided the demonization applied to Hamas? Hamas is fighting for its own country–Palestine, which has been destroyed by Israel armed with US money, weapons, and diplomatic cover.

Currently Israel and the Zionist neoconservatives who have wormed their way into US foreign policy are pressuring President Trump–“Israel’s greatest friend”–to use nuclear weapons against Iran, a country who has done nothing to the US but nevertheless is under US sanctions and threats imposed at Israel’s insistence. The “powerful American superpower” cannot even control its own foreign policy. The blustering, threatening Trump doesn’t dare threaten Israel. Get ready for Israel’s next war–Washington’s military attack on Iran. Russia and China, by leaving Iran unprotected, have invited the attack.

Let us further compare the West’s treatment of Russia compared to its treatment of Israel. Poland has asked NATO to invoke “Article Four” against Russia for allegedly violating Poland’s air space. No attack was made on Poland. Moreover, the alleged drone incursions came from Belarus, not Russia, and Belarus warned Poland in advance that some drones had “lost their track as a result of the impact of the parties’ electronic warfare assets.” “This allowed the Polish side to respond promptly to the actions of the drones by scrambling their forces on duty,” said General Pavel Muraveiko, the chief of the general staff of Belarus. So, Poland wants Article Four invoked against Russia for a non-event, but it is anti-semitic to complain of Israel’s genocide of Palestine, both the people and the country, and Israel’s military/assassination attacks on other countries. Clearly, the future of freedom does not reside in such a corrupt Western world.

“This brings the Biden jobs overstatement to a staggering 1.5M.”

• BLS Announces 911,000 Fewer Jobs Created April ’24 through March ’25 (CTH)

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent noted, when you add the previous Biden revision of -577,000 to the current revision of -911,000 the Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) had overreported Biden’s job growth by almost 1.5 million jobs. The BLS reports today an annual revision of 911,000 fewer jobs that previously reported. These further puts President Trump’s decision to fire the head of the BLS into context.

Bessent: “Now it’s official: 2024 job gains were exaggerated by nearly 1M workers, and this is on top of an already reported 577K in downward revisions. This brings the Biden jobs overstatement to a staggering 1.5M. The truth: President Trump inherited a far worse economy than reported, and he’s right to say the Fed is choking off growth with high rates.

• Joe Biden’s Economy Was So Much Worse Than We Thought (Margolis)

For four years, Joe Biden bragged about presiding over the “strongest economy in history.” He propped up his narrative with the return of jobs after the COVID shutdowns and falsely claimed his policies created them. Even liberal outlets admitted he was padding the numbers, but Biden never stopped repeating the lie. Now the lie has officially collapsed. The Bureau of Labor Statistics just confirmed what President Trump has been saying all along: Biden’s “strong economy” was nothing but smoke and mirrors. On Monday, the BLS issued the largest downward revision in its history, wiping out nearly a million jobs — 911,000 to be exact. That’s not a minor correction; that’s proof Biden’s economic record wasn’t just exaggerated, but was a fraud from the start.

“Today, the BLS released the largest downward revision on record proving that President Trump was right: Biden’s economy was a disaster and the BLS is broken,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement. She continued, “This is exactly why we need new leadership to restore trust and confidence in the BLS’s data on behalf of the financial markets, businesses, policymakers, and families that rely on this data to make major decisions.” She’s exactly right. This revelation comes just over a month after President Donald Trump fired Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner Erika McEntarfer, a Biden appointee.

“I was just informed that our Country’s ‘Jobs Numbers’ are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala’s chances of Victory,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social last month. “We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified.” Many on the left claimed that action was in response to a weaker than expected jobs report, but this revelation should prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the BLS under McEntarfer had clearly become politicized, with grossly inflated jobs numbers designed to boost Biden before the 2024 election.

But the scandal goes much deeper than that. Think about how many Americans made financial choices, how many businesses planned investments, and how many policymakers made decisions based on jobs data that now turns out to have been flat-out wrong. And it’s not just one bad revision. The BLS admitted they had overstated Biden’s “job creation” by about 1.5 million. That’s no small mistake. In fact, that’s not a mistake at all. That’s actively misleading the public, and that’s why firing McEntarfer was the right move, and why Trump’s nominee to replace her, E.J. Antoni, must be confirmed. The numbers prove that Biden’s presidency was a failure even on its own terms. He flooded the labor market with illegal immigrants, pumped out trillions in reckless spending, and handed out subsidies like candy.

Even then, he couldn’t match the jobs growth from Trump’s first term. That is nothing short of humiliating. For years, the media parroted Biden’s talking point that he “created more jobs than any president in history.” Now we know the truth: those jobs were fake, inflated, or outright imaginary. Biden built his presidency on a lie, and now the lie has collapsed. The so-called “historic job growth” was never real—it was a mirage propped up by partisan bureaucrats and repeated endlessly by a complicit media desperate to protect him. Meanwhile, Trump’s warnings about Biden’s phony numbers turned out to be exactly right, just as they were about inflation, gas prices, and the border. The revision is a complete repudiation of Biden’s entire economic narrative.

• Maduro Suggests Reason Behind Us Military Buildup Around Venezuela (RT)

Washington is seeking to gain access to Venezuela’s natural resources, the Latin American nation’s President Nicolas Maduro has told RT in response to the arrival of US warships off the country’s coast in recent weeks. He dismissed Washington’s claims that it had mounted the effort to combat drug traffickers as a ruse. Last month, the US deployed at least eight Navy vessels and an attack submarine to the region, with an estimated 4,000 troops involved in the operation. Appearing on RT Spanish’s ‘Talking with Correa’ show on Tuesday, Maduro claimed that the US operation “is not about drug trafficking… they need oil [and] gas.”

He told the host, former Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa, that “Venezuela has the world’s largest oil reserves… the fourth-largest gas reserves.” He also noted that his country potentially boasts the “world’s largest gold reserves.” He lamented that Washington’s “aggression” against Caracas has surpassed anything seen in the region since the 1962 Cuban missile crisis. According to Maduro, these actions toward Venezuela fit into a broader “war plan,” which is supposedly aimed at subjugating the entire world to the will of the US. “But it is impossible… We already have a multipolar world with new power centers,” such as China, Russia and India, the official argued.

Maduro dismissed US allegations that Venezuela is a major drug-producing and trafficking hub. He insisted that Venezuela has eliminated all major drug-trafficking operations on its soil, and vanquished prominent gangs, including the Tren de Aragua. Relations between the two nations have been tense for years. Washington refused to recognize Maduro’s reelection in 2018, instead backing the Venezuelan opposition and imposing sweeping sanctions on the country. Last week, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warned that the “situation is… being unacceptably escalated” around Venezuela, with potentially far-reaching ramifications for regional and global security.

No, Frank and countless others. Trump never called the victims’ testimonnies a hoax, of course he didn’t, he’s neither stupid nor insensitive. He called the way in which the Dems presented the story a hoax.

• Melania, Please Talk to Donald About Epstein (Frank Miele)

Last Wednesday, an extraordinary press conference was held in the shadow of the U.S. Capitol by victims of sexual abuser Jeffrey Epstein. Anyone who watched these women pour out their hearts to demand justice for themselves and other victims could not help but be moved. Unfortunately, President Donald Trump did not watch, and then – almost simultaneously – dismissed the women’s heartfelt pleas for a public reckoning of Epstein’s abuse as “a Democrat hoax.” No doubt, Trump is a rhetorical genius who has been able to define issues to his own benefit for years, but this was a low point in his presidency. Much as it is understandable that Trump perceives the attention being given to Epstein’s life and mysterious death in a federal prison as a distraction, that must be weighed against the human toll that Epstein took.

Calling it a hoax belittles the pain and suffering of women who were victims of, at worst, rape and, at best, sexual abuse. And though Trump judged the women before he had even had a chance to hear them speak, they had already rejected his label: “This is not a hoax. It’s not going to go away,” said Marina Lacerda, who was a witness in Epstein’s 2019 indictment that led to his imprisonment and death. Abuse survivor Haley Robson, who introduced herself as a registered Republican, invited the president to meet her “in person so you can understand this is not a hoax. We are real human beings. This is real trauma.” After the president made his dismissive remarks, Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene called Trump to ask him to meet with the women at the Oval Office, but he did not accept – as of yet.

“It’s not a hoax,” Greene explained, “because Jeffrey Epstein is a convicted pedophile. That takes away the whole hoax thing. It’s not a hoax. It’s not a lie.” Greene challenged Trump to get past the political suspicions he has expressed. “I want him to be the hero and champion of this issue. And I want him to fight for these women, because I know him to be a fighter.” Indeed, President Trump has repeatedly shown a capacity for empathy in his capacity as a private individual and as president, most notably when he promised justice for the Angel Moms who had lost children as a result of the actions of illegal aliens. But in this case, Trump has conflated how his political enemies may seize upon the Epstein case as a weapon with the entirely unrelated issue of justice for the victims.

Speaking out about a “Democratic hoax” before he had ever seen the victims’ statements, or heard their perfectly reasonable demands, could prove to be one of the worst mistakes in Trump’s career, political or otherwise. It is not enough to know the names of Epstein and his procurer Ghislaine Maxwell; common decency demands that the names of all those who abetted them in abusing women be revealed. If there were powerful men in finance or politics who exploited these women, their names should be known too. And what about the officials who looked the other way? I don’t believe Trump has any culpability for his friendship with Epstein years ago. At the press conference, the women survivors said none of them knew of any evidence against Trump. But the president’s political opponents will surely seize upon his unwillingness to ensure justice for the Epstein victims, and plant seeds of doubt that could harm him and the nation – just exactly what Trump says he wants to avoid.

In order to avoid that fate, there is perhaps one person – and one person only – who could convince the president not to view the matter through a partisan lens. That, of course, is first lady Melania Trump. Melania’s willingness to lobby for generosity of spirit was recently apparent in the letter she wrote to Russian president Vladimir Putin when he and her husband met in Alaska to discuss the Ukraine war. Although Putin has been intransigent on the possibility of a ceasefire in the war he started, Melania urged him to think about the millions of children impacted by the bloodshed and to “nurture the next generation’s hope.” A simple yet profound concept, Mr. Putin, as I am sure you agree, is that each generation’s descendants begin their lives with a purity – an innocence which stands above geography, government, and ideology. … In protecting the innocence of these children, you will do more than serve Russia alone – you serve humanity itself. Such a bold idea transcends all human division, and you, Mr. Putin, are fit to implement this vision with a stroke of the pen today. It is time.

Just as Melania called upon Putin to protect the innocence of the children of war, so too she could – and should – call on her husband to honor the lost innocence of Epstein’s victims.

She probably doesn’t need to write a letter to Trump, but since they share a residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, it would make perfect sense for her to call him aside one night and sit him down for “the discussion.” The short version would go something like this: “Donald, you have enemies. We both know it. But sometimes your worst enemy is yourself. We both know that too. So I’m going to give you some advice. When women are young and pretty, rich and powerful men take advantage of them. That’s not a Democrat hoax. It’s a fact of life. Please watch these women, or better yet, meet with them. Find out what they want, and then help them get it. They don’t deserve shame because of what happened to them. They deserve our thanks for coming forward. They aren’t trying to hurt you; they are trying to help themselves and other women to make sure that powerful men are held accountable. It is time.”

    “MSNBC Fires Matthew Dowd For Suggesting Charlie Kirk Had It Coming; Liz Warren, Jen Psaki Double Down

    Okay, small steps. I thought a lot of these were pretty common statements. It was the Right being rattled, is taking the least charitable interpretation. Apparently this has caused them, this is their Tipping Point. I hope not, since like doing the most inflammatory s—t possible, bombing everyone, it’s TO CAUSE A WAR. So having a war, Civil War, retaliating, is what they’re praying for.

    The fact he’s shot means we’re winning and very nearly won.

    Same as the Quatar strikes, etc. It means they’re going down and dead.

    And why Charlie? BECAUSE he does peace. Because he does discussions. Because he was very moderate.

    Speaking of:

    “Israel Suggests Further Attacks On Qatar Possible: “We’ll Get Them Next Time”

    So they just missile strike everyone, every day, and that’s alright with everyone? I guess. Qatar didn’t do nothing. …Because there is only one nation, the United States, and only one guy in it. If Q won’t do anything about it, why should I?

    “”Seriously Missed Opportunities”: Canada Roadblocked U.S. Probes Into Snowboarder Turned ‘Cocaine Kingpin’ 

    Canada loves drugs. Why. …Reminds me of the story of Pierre Trudeau in Cuba with a shoebox of cocaine. 24 Hour Party People.

    “Kremlin Dismisses Polish Drone Attack Claims, Saying No Evidence Provided

    No kidding….. This was all confirmed…by Ukraine. These jets were all scrambled….due to demands by Ukraine.

    “Trump Ready To Hit China, India With 100% Tariffs To Pressure Putin, But Only If Europe Joins

    No, no. WE have to do all the things while they bat their eyelashes and buy $6B in Russian oil.

    Luongo-Armstrong: “You can’t accuse a Federal Judge of the felonies they’re committing!”

    “Matt Walsh: “As a society, we have two choices. Either we inflict severe, merciless suffering on violent criminals”

    He’s missing the point, and it’s an important one. He’s the Internal Emotional State of…Stop. I don’t have an internal emotional state, no vindictiveness to harm. We incarcerate them for unemotional, practical, measurable reasons: so they don’t harm themselves and others. This was that guy, recently released, tortured an old man in his wife for 5 hours in NYC, then lit the apt building on fire so he could harm more widely. He served a lot of solid time, but his release demonstrates why we TRY to release them again, and it just fails again, so who protects the innocent?

    Same with Charlotte: he was released 13 times, and was clearly fit for a mental ward, permanently, his MOTHER said so and asked. She KNEW something bad would happen. And that happens TO HIM, as well as to others around him. Now he’s the center of a tragedy that could have been avoided. But the Judge was bankin’ fat cash and couldn’t be arsed to…you know, NOT MURDER people with reckless disregard. A serial Felony in her case. With a bribery motive

    We are not inflicting suffering, whether intentional or accidental. What we get to choose is WHO does the suffering which occurs in life – the Innocent or the Guilty? And while we may minimize the suffering of the guilty to some extent, ultimately we can’t entirely, we can only be practical about it. There’s no way to remove someone’s rights for life without them not liking it. And there’s no way that’s not a huge expense, worry, and problem for us. Yet we must do it and always have.

    So yes, prison isn’t pleasant, and deterrent is important. But ultimately we just don’t have the money. If I make every Prison a health spa, how is that fair to the working poor, whose money it takes? Over centuries we’ve worked this out step by step. We have a process, we don’t “just remove” rights, everyone is heard, everything is public, every sentence is just and visible, every outcome is measured.

    None of that is “Inflicting severe, merciless punishment” on anyone, the Guilty or the Innocent. We just remove them for the safety of the average person walking around. As little as possible as it’s annoying and expensive and in the U.S. we place a high value on our personal freedoms.

    Some here: “We’re Going to War” with Chicago? Why? We’re PROTECTING Chicago, and primarily Black people in it. That’s different. Why? Because Americans like snappy rhetoric. Has to be lively. Saying we’re ACTUALLY sending 400 guys – a joke – to have two guardsmen ride a train or pick up trash in a park doesn’t sound cool. But it would stop this murder. And you can’t sell crack and drive-by with two guardsmen watching your turf.

    Dumb rhetoric, as usual. The actions are remarkably different, as usual.

    “The average homicide suspect has been arrested ELEVEN times prior to them committing a homicide.”

    Eleven warnings and close calls. Too soon? What would OSHA say to something like that on the job site? So we say that about a ladder that’s a year too old, but not murders? And far more commonly, rapes.

    “America has seen two violent murders in the span of one week, Iryna Zarutska and Charlie Kirk.”

    I didn’t realize WE didn’t hear about Iryna for 18 DAYS. Noting. And like the NYC torture-run, there are thousands of her monthly, local and unreported. For the 0.3% of people who commit 90% of the crimes, but are released 40 times.

    “the most articulate, the most charitable to your enemies. And even that wouldn’t be enough to save you from them.”

    As, say, Citizen says, They showed this during Covid. I guess we had a meta-argument that “they” were radical, they were off-base, say like Trump is all the time, so “they” deserve it. But when you find that outlier case of someone who somehow ISN’T misbehaved – unlike almost all of us, certainly myself included – then there’s no case at all. They kill you for breathing.

    Yeah, I know. And I say that of Socialists and the Left all the time. It’s a blind fundamentalism and religious zealotry that shuts off all thought and compassion. Why I don’t know, they’re very sure of themselves. For being wrong 200 times over 150 years, worse than any religion ever made. I don’t NEED to know why either: it’s enough that it’s true and I can prove it.

    “Remember that Charlie Kirk’s entire career was focused around winning the debate in proper democratic fashion and they still shot him.”

    This is why Sargon is Peerless. He ALWAYS hits to the core of the matter, in the politest, incontrovertible way.

    And “IF they’d just left him alone” he’d be some guy at a midwit job playing video games still. Like “Mr. Nobody”. But no. They COULDN’T STOP. They HAD TO annoy him and millions of autists like them. To attack their COMIC BOOKS. Left Zealotry can NEVER leave anyone alone to their personal thoughts and decisions. They have to TELL you what to do, and worse, what to THINK, how you are allowed to FEEL. A. Religion.

    I used to eyeroll at Savage’s “Leftism is a Mental Illness” slogan. But it is. It’s this truth of power and narcissism, or that impulse in all of us, but fed raw coal like a furnace until it’s white hot and raging. JUST MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS, for the love of God. Not everyone needs to be like you. Leave them alone before you get ventilated.

    They can’t. They’ll fidget in their chair like a lunatic, until they just HAVE to get up, even if they know they’ll be shot in the face for it. They can’t help themselves. Mental. Illness.

    Put another way, there is Men and Woman, Liberal and Conservative. Men CONTAIN women, they protect them, enclose them in a house, but that means there are walls, rules. Women, like water, would flow everywhere like chaos without that structure and containing. Be killed, but also KILL OTHERS without that protecting.

    Same with history: Hard times make practical Conservative patterns and decisions, within which that wealth finally ALLOWS a Crystal Palace or Sistine Chapel. That’s a luxury, but the difference is the Conservatives know that, and the blood it took to make it. Old white guy say this all the time. Their wives and kids roll their eyes “Sure, pops. Archie Bunker Jackass”. When you’re born in safety, never worked, you just want MORE luxury. And like Boomer Kids, you WANT to give it all to them, the Red Ryder BB Gun. BUT YOU CAN’T. Without structure, rules, punishment, WORK, they all go completely Goddamn feral and burn the place down. That’s not actually Love.

    It’s being a BRAT, Veruca. “What do you do when your kid is a BRAT?”

    “You know exactly who’s to blame: the Mother and the Father.”

    We’re not punishing your -ss because we LIKE to. It’s a huge PITA for us. And so with Trump as Kunstler constantly says: they cannot abide a “Daddy”. They cannot tolerate any RULES. ANY, rules. Any limitations on Ego and Self AT ALL. Ever. Even the suggestion is a divorce, if not a nuclear legal counter-accusation, because “You’re Hitler” as millions all over the nation have found since 2010, doing very innocent, common things.

    Log onto any Chat board. Many Such Cases.

    But what’s the Solution? A: You re-establish RULES. And Order.

    ““The assassination of Charlie Kirk marks a dangerous escalation in America’s culture war”

    It’s not and I’m worried that they say so. They’ve been murdering speakers monthly since the 90s. Breitbart for instance. This is MEANT to cause this reaction, and get the U.S. into a Civil War. That’s the only thing that can save Euro-London’s BOND MARKETS.

    If they’re willing to missile strike QATAR for God’s sake, you think they won’t kill one kid at a college? Jesus man, check yourself.

    “• Trump Against Economic Isolation of Russia – Vance (RT)

    Compared to above, here’s where his words DO match his actions. Mostly.

    “The word diplomat is losing its meaning, if it’s not already gone.”

    Long gone. Remember, all the Left, these people, you’re not allowed to talk to anyone bad, ever. Or the other side, ever. So, no diplomacy since the 90s. We dictate terms instead. Of course THAT is pure love and tolerance, and talking to people to end wars is Hate, in their world. Ask them. I’m not exaggerating.

    “• Brussels Pushing To Silence Dissent Among EU Members (RT)

    Yes but only since 1999. And they’re still denying it. By “They” I mean everyone, particularly the European People. Ireland loves them. Scotland is still trying to get in.

    “• Maduro Suggests Reason Behind Us Military Buildup Around Venezuela (RT)

    To do what? The thought of our invading is a joke.

    “There is a a debate over Health and firearms”

    Canada kills 10x more people with MAID than the U.S. does with firearms. That’s a debate. No? Doctors kill 10x more with PROPERLY prescribed drugs than firearms. That’s not including all the other pathways. Outlaw Doctors.

    “Covid was “the most massive… globally co-ordinated propaganda campaign in the history of the Western world”.

    Everyone around me fell for it. And still are. This did not make me popular, even though I was extremely moderate about it and their freedom to make their choices.

    “Is the U.S. A criminal state like Israel?” Technically yes. And literally yes. But are we doing it or fixing it? And if you think we’re not, what are you gonna do about it anyway? Complain?

    I see this constantly: “America” did this, we did the Iraq, etc. GFY. I’m not part of your collective guilt control. I said no every time and so did most of Americans most of the time. So WHO? Oh a bunch of maniac leaders, many of which we never voted for or voted against? No.

    Every. Single Person, In Washington and out, hates John Bolton, yet he’s there for decades.

    Every. Single Person, In Europe hates Van Der Lyin’. She was never elected. Yet she gets to decide everything for decades.

    Ohhh, but it’s OUR fault. Got it.

    “can’t they die a little faster? Even scarier is that they (israel) are not the only ones in this situation..

    Yeah, until you said that, I hadn’t fully internalized that, say, FRANCE as nukes and the same people and motivation. …And said they’d happily nuke Moscow if they could find how. So now we have 20 Israels. “Ritter: Wars Everywhere”. I guess that is so.

    “hating the Israelis for their actions in Gaza is a good thing”

    Glad we’re in total agreement at last: Hate the Israelis, not the Jews. One is a political nation, the other is every single person in a demographic group.

    Your comment presupposes that Qatar ‘Doing something’ would be a matter between them and Israel. As I’m sure you are aware, the ‘One Guy’ leading the ‘One Nation’ would receive a phone call from the Israeli genocidalist within seconds of Qatari leaders contemplating any possible action with direct orders (We have the files Mr Trump!) to reduce the country to ashes. So yes, in reality there is only one nation that will decide whether or not Qatar responds – and that nation isn’t Qatar.

    Cunning King of Corinth

    Sisyphus is a figure from Greek mythology, known as the cunning king of Corinth.

    He was punished by the gods for his trickery and defiance, condemned to roll a huge stone up a hill, only for it to roll back down each time he reached the top.

    This eternal struggle symbolizes the absurdity of human existence, famously interpreted by Albert Camus in his essay “The Myth of Sisyphus,” where he concludes that “one must imagine Sisyphus happy” as the struggle itself is enough to fill a man’s heart.

    Massachusetts Hits New Low With Latest Self-Hating Flag Designs
    Never underestimate the creativity of the virtue-signaling Bay State pseudo-intellectual
    https://www.racket.news/p/massachusetts-hits-new-low-with-latest
    “The wipeout of the Mayflower, Thanksgiving, and the long-ago excommunicated arrow-shot Pilgrim hat logo from the Massachusetts Turnpike (“The Pike”) means the work is done. The state’s Brahmins have erased all vestiges of old Masshole tradition, with one conspicuous exception: Harvard. The culturally significant turkey-feather circle is gold on crimson, a color “associated with education” (a massive LOL at state pols and the Globe arguing with a straight face that Arlington public schools were the inspiration). After switching out a classic piece of Americana — the Pike entrance was the ‘65 GTO of road signs — Massachusetts wants to make its emblem an ode to Ivy League circle-jerking that looks suspiciously like a Comintern flag designed by Currier and Ives:
    …
    Once, Boston was known as a tough working class town with regrettable racial attitudes that happened also to be the enlightened capital of Western academia. Now the academics are the racists and the working class jobs are gone, though there’s still plenty of grant work apologizing for colonialism.

    • Kremlin Responds To Polish ‘Drone Attack’ Claims (RT)

    no evidence has been provided

    After announcing the alleged airspace violation, Tusk formally invoked Article 4 of NATO’s founding treaty, which provides for consultations in case one of the bloc’s members believes its security is threatened.
    Last week, former Polish President Andzej Duda referenced a November 2022 incident in which a Ukrainian missile landed on Polish territory.
    Kiev insisted it was an intentional Russian attack and called for NATO-level retaliation.
    Duda said that Ukrainian authorities were trying to get the US-led bloc into a direct confrontation with Russia, describing such a scenario as a “dream” for Kiev, but unacceptable for Poland.
    ————–

    Shared economic growth, he added, could be “the best guarantee of a long-term peace.”

    • Trump Against Economic Isolation of Russia – Vance (RT)
    —————

    Moscow has accused the West of pursuing “uncontrolled militarization” to prepare for war with Russia, while dismissing claims it intends to attack NATO or EU states as “nonsense.” Russian officials, including President Vladimir Putin, have accused Western leaders of fearmongering to justify inflated military budgets and to cover up their economic failures, insisting that aid to Kiev only prolongs the hostilities.

    • Joe Biden’s Economy Was So Much Worse Than We Thought (Margolis)

    For years, the media parroted Biden’s talking point that he “created more jobs than any president in history.”
    Now we know the truth: those jobs were fake, inflated, or outright imaginary. Biden built his presidency on a lie, and now the lie has collapsed.
    The so-called “historic job growth” was never real—it was a mirage propped up by partisan bureaucrats and repeated endlessly by a complicit media desperate to protect him. Meanwhile, Trump’s warnings about Biden’s phony numbers turned out to be exactly right, just as they were about inflation, gas prices, and the border.
    The revision is a complete repudiation of Biden’s entire economic narrative.

    Several states are planning to use “standing orders” to kill in hospitals.
    Most states have similar laws on the books. Yes, Florida, too. – Sasha Latypova
    I wanted to bring to your attention this post by Conservative Ladies of WA: “West Coast Alliance and WA’s Vaccine Mandate: A Coordinated Power Shift”.

    It is important to share this widely and discuss with your family and friends. This is especially critical if you live in CA, OR, WA, HI but most states already have the enabling laws on the books. The authors write that in just six months (2025), Washington State has constructed a legal and operational framework that enables mass vaccination…and in some cases without parental consent, without local oversight, and without public debate. The pieces are already in place. The system is live. And most families have no idea:

    Standing orders are not the only tools of health tyranny, lies and deception. Both NY and NJ issued directives for pharmacists and doctors to inject covid shots “off label”, declaring statewide emergencies (and using state level PREP Act-like laws that they already have:

    I asked Katherine Watt about standing orders several weeks ago, and here are her comments:

    Adding one comment – one of the things I found but haven’t written about is the promotion and use of “standing orders” for vaccination. Without going into a lot of detail, they’re used at the medical practice level and at the state and local health department level, to absolve individual practitioners of their individual ethical obligations to individual patients. I think of them as a kind of non-specific prescription, whereby the act of vaccination is performed as if prescribed for an individual patient, but without any ethical or legal obligation for the vaccinator to know anything specific about the vaccine or anything specific about the recipient’s body and how his or her body may respond to the unknown contents of the vaccine vial.

    An eye for an eye hands the world to the blind.

    This isn’t even “an eye for an eye.”

    Just like “turn the other cheek” was a new idea, attempting to stop endless, mindless tit-for-tat, I suspect that “an eye for an eye” was an attempt to stamp out “I’m going to get you back worse!” “An eye for an eye” suggests that responses to violence be measured, rather than extreme.

    Israel is not even following the proscription of the Torah here: 1200 dead on Oct 7, many by the hands of the IDF ironically, and they are inflicting death on a scale 100 times as high.

    Chronic disease in vaccinated kids

    My son with level 2 autism also has “eoe.” Eosinophilia Esophagitis. It was diagnosed 9 years ago when he had a food impaction. The first recorded case was in 1977. It came increasingly into awareness in the 1990s, and was formally classified in 1993. Funny, isn’t it, that formal classification was only a few years after that vaccine act in the 80s?

    There are only 2 treatments: drugs for life or elimination diets to identify the substance aggravating the esophagus so that it may be avoided. GI doctors routinely scare their patients and parents of their patients into the endless taking of prescription meds, and then more meds and specialist visits to manage adverse side effects. Of course, insurance pays for the drugs and regular endoscopies. It won’t pay for special expensive foods that make it easier to endure an elimination diet. The irony.

    Yes.
    We need to be locking up the violent criminals, and probably also the “white collar” criminals who are committing gross negligence and fraud, some of which also results in violence. (Fauci, etc.). We need to stop locking up those who are merely pissing off The Establishment, The Deep State, A Protected Class, or violating the excess of laws that have nothing to do with violence. We don’t have the money nor resources to incarcerate all of the non-violent offenders. So let’s stop, and focus instead on locking up the violent criminals.

    Charlie Kirk’s 9/11 https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/charlie-kirks-911

    Gaius Baltar, WORLD WAR III SITUATION REPORT
    ​ The global situation is, to put it mildly, getting interesting. Various scenarios are possible, few of them good – particularly for the West. The fog of war makes the situation unclear, and the fog of the mind in the West makes the future even more unclear…
    ..Europe has transitioned from a Garden of Eden on its way to rule the world through superior morality, sustainability regulations, and carbon taxes, into a desperate sewer. Her leaders crawl around, barking at each other; licking the boots of the man they hate the second most: Donald Trump.
    In the US the situation is almost as bad. The current priority of the US Government is to hide the bankruptcy of the country by pretending to sell treasuries while faking inflation numbers caused by money printing. The Biden neoliberals are quiet in their burrows while the exceptionalists and neocons have obviously contracted rabies. Others are not doing what America tells them to do. How can that be? We thought we were gods! …
    ..For a long time, probably at least the last 30-40 years, the West has needed ‘free’ wealth from the non-western world to survive as the degrowth plan was carried out. That, however, was only supposed to be temporary. As the West secured its global dominance, the non-western economies would go through degrowth as well. All the wealth in the world would migrate upward to the Financier Cabal, and everyone else would live their lives as renters – if they were allowed to live at all…
    ​..Money printing is essentially an indirect tax on the population. The dollar, however, is the global reserve currency. It is used globally in trade – and a huge part of global debt is in dollars. This means that when the United States prints money to run the government and to keep the economy going, the entire world will absorb the resulting inflation – not just the United States.
    ​ This also means that when the United States runs its government at a deficit, and falsifies its economy through debt increase, the entire world will experience inflation as a result and suffer a drop in living standards. US deficits and money printing are thus basically a tax on the world. This tax allows the US to operate its global empire.
    ​ Until now the non-western world has been forced to go along with this taxation because the West has monopolized the international financial and trading systems – another source of western revenue. Stray away from the dollar and you’ll be excluded from the system, regime-changed or invaded. This is now changing – and not in a small way.
    ​ If the global use of the dollar decreases, the ‘absorption area’ for dollar inflation will decrease. More and more of the inflation caused by printing dollars will therefore impact the United States – and countries with currencies attached to the dollar – which happen to be the European countries. If spending in the West remains the same (or increases) while the use of the dollar decreases globally – the result will be hyperinflation in the West and a collapse – first economic and then social. We are seeing this happen right now.
    ​ The reserve dollar is the West’s weakness – and it’s a mortal weakness.​..
    ..The US elites use the dollar and its reserve currency status to suck wealth from the entire world. They also use the well-known US domestic ‘wealth pump’ to suck the life out of the US working and middle classes.
    ​ All this stolen and extorted money is then used to finance the entire western Cabal/Deep State – including their enforcers (the US Military & NATO, the Intelligence Services, Al-Qaeda, HTS/ISIS, Israel, Ukraine, and various other sociopaths), the Military-Industrial Complex, and the European Union.
    ​ In other words, the thing financing all this evil is the reserve-currency dollar. Without the reserve status of the dollar, money can’t be collected from the non-western world, and money can’t be printed and borrowed endlessly inside the United States. Without the reserve dollar, all the neocons, the trans/woke neolibs, the Cabal companies running America, and the European Union elites, will lose their shirts – and their power over their slave populations.
    ​ For them there is no solution other than to maintain the reserve status of the dollar. No other option is even remotely possible at this point. The US cannot truly reindustrialize without a bloody revolution to remove the Cabal companies and the managerial class sucking the life out of the country, and Europe cannot reindustrialize without the same thing happening – and because they have no resources to do so. Fixing Europe or fixing America economically in the short or even medium term is just delusional nonsense. It’s not going to happen.
    ​ As a reserve currency the dollar has not only financed all this evil – all the wars, all the terrorism, all the mass murders, all the regime changes – and global oppression. It has also allowed the Cabal to finance a monstrous and parasitic (woke and incompetent) managerial class and to destroy the middle and working classes of the United States and Europe. Having a reserve currency is a curse like no other …
    ..Someone probably sat down with Trump and ‘explained’ this to him. The fate of the Financier Cabal and the Deep State is now intertwined with America’s fate, and it’s time to accept that and act accordingly. As a result he mostly gave up on his reindustrialization ideas and decided to go all in defending the dollar.​..
    ..The Deep Staters and the EU elites aren’t imagining things. The dollar is as good as dead as a global reserve currency, and they are screwed. The only option is war for the survival of the dollar, and the survival of the western elites. The western people and the western countries only exist now as assets to be sacrificed to win that war.​..
    ..The main property of the current situation is its urgency. The western globalist machine is being defunded NOW. Our rulers are losing their power NOW. Western countries are going bankrupt NOW. Things are going to hell NOW. This has finally dawned on our ruling class and they are panicking…
    ..The first order of business is to neutralize the threat against the dollar – which comes from the new trading and financial mechanisms developed by the BRICS countries. This will primarily be carried out by the United States and Britain – with help from the European Union where necessary.
    ​ The first phase of this plan is Trump’s tariff threats against BRIC states, primarily Brazil and India. So far, this has failed catastrophically because it unified BRICS countries rather than breaking them apart. Since failure proves nothing in the neocon world, this phase is still ongoing.​..
    ..The second, third, fourth, and so forth phases of the plan are terrorism and war. The goal is to chip away at BRICS and associated countries using military force, terrorism and regime change operations. Countries perceived as vulnerable and isolated will be targeted first…
    ..The main goal of this phase is to fracture BRICS by creating chaos, and if necessary to wage outright war. The secondary goal is to steal their oil and other resources…
    War plan II – Russia
    This part of the plan will primarily be carried out by the European Union and Britain, with critical logistics and intelligence support from the United States.​..
    ..The EU plan can be split into a defensive plan and an offensive plan – or an inside plan and an outside plan…
    ..The inside plan is intended to maintain control over the European Union while the war against Russia and the BRICS is ongoing. The situation in Europe is serious and there is a possibility of major crisis in three key countries: Britain, France and Germany…
    ..We can expect massive increase in censorship and arrests of dissenters. Zero tolerance policy will be adopted and people will be arrested for anything which may be interpreted as critical of their governments or the EU as a whole…
    ..Elections will be rigged wherever necessary and results canceled if the rigging fails…
    ..Political parties will be either banned or excluded from participating in elections. Political leaders will be increasingly banned from elections and/or jailed…
    ..Political murders and assassinations will be stepped up… This has apparently already started with the rather obvious murders of AfD candidates in Germany…
    ..Regime changes will most likely be attempted in Hungary, Slovakia and Serbia…
    ..Maintaining control is all-important for the EU because this is where its greatest weakness can be found…
    ..The outside (offensive) plan
    The West has, apparently, performed a new analysis on the situation using their Masters of Strategy. They have come to the conclusion that a short and decisive victory over Russia is impossible…
    ..Instead the West has decided to adopt the Russian method of war by attrition. Maintain pressure long enough and Russia will eventually fracture through exhaustion…
    ..The narcissistic nature of the EU elites and their desperate situation has turned Europe into a rabid dog. You don’t negotiate with a rabid dog. Everybody knows how a rabid dog needs to be handled. Any ideas the Russians might still have about a long-term deal involving the EU are delusional…
    ..At the moment the EU has a lot of weaknesses, including economic, social, and competence related. The main weakness, however, is its cohesion problem. The EU is on the verge of fracturing and needs to be held together by force – as we saw earlier. The most effective proactive actions would be ones which would ‘overload’ the EU’s cohesion measures…
    ..The only realistic way to break Brussels’s siege of Europe is to provide an alternative to EU countries. That can only be done through ‘physical proximity.’ In other words, Russia needs to provide European countries with physical route out of the EU gulag. This can only be done by moving the Russian Army up to the EU borders and to occupy territory adjacent to them…
    ..This would require the Russian Army to seize south-western Ukraine, including Odessa, up to the Romanian and Moldovan borders…
    ..This action would be the equivalent of stabbing an awl through a plate of glass. It would be punctured, and fractures would form. Countries in the south-eastern part of the EU would be provided with a choice – including the one of joining the BRICS.​..
    ..The other option is just to wait it out and allow it to disintegrate on its own. That might take time and no one likes being constantly bitten by a rabid dog that just won’t die.​ https://gaiusbaltar.substack.com/p/world-war-iii-situation-report

    ​..Without hesitation Macron has appointed Sebastien Lecornu as new prime minister, the same Lecornu who has been the defense minister of France for years, and under whose “leadership” the French military was sent packing from Africa, leading to the slow unraveling of the decaying former-power.​….In every corner of Europe you look, you find less and less trace of the endangered species of ‘democracy’. Britain has now jailed a man for calling someone a ‘muppet’ online, while “free speech” arrests are skyrocketing…
    ..Meanwhile in Germany, seven AfD candidates for elections reportedly died in a two-week span…
    ..Samantha Power was caught on a prank call admitting that huge amount of USAID investments went to keep Moldova within the globalist fold.
    She even seems aware that what she’s doing is illegal and anti-democratic when she mentions Victoria Nuland’s “interference” and contrasts what ​she and USAID have been doing in Moldova as “more subtle” forms of “influence”.​..
    ..It’s clear the entire continent has been captured by the tyrannical arm of the global deep state…
    ..It seems everything surrounding the decrepit EU is on the brink of collapse. These diseased regimes are sleep-walking into disaster by ignoring virtually every root cause of their society’s numerous ills…
    ..In the US, things are not too far apart: new jobs numbers ‘revisions’ have deleted nearly one million “new jobs” that were meant to highlight the ‘strong economy’—it was the largest revision in history…​
    ​..That’s not to mention the continually emerging proof that any and all ‘growth’ in the US economy has come mostly by way of the AI-tech bubble… nearly 50% of all US GDP growth is attributable to Big Tech’s AI-related capital expenditures​…​ The only thing keeping the US economy ostensibly afloat at this point are migrants and the AI bubble…
    ..On a related note, Russian outlet MASH published what is claimed to be a French document obtained by Russian hackers showing a ‘secret’ European troop deployment plan for Ukraine.
    ​ European countries have developed a plan to occupy the territory of Ukraine — with the aim of seizing mineral deposits, logistics, and access to the sea. The organizer is the Armed Forces of France, and the goal is to recover the money given to Kyiv.
    ​ In the photo — a map titled Les forces conjointes de “Coalition de Volontaires” (Joint Forces of the “Coalition of Volunteers”) dated April 16, 2025. Obtained by hackers from KillNet as a result of hacking the local network of the French Armed Forces’ office. It shows the deployment scheme of foreign troops on the territory of Ukraine. In the corner is the name of the person responsible — the Chief of the General Staff of the French Armed Forces, General Thierry Burkhardt (who left the post in July 2025).
    ​ If the map and the secret meeting protocols of the “Coalition of Volunteers” obtained by hackers are to be believed, at least four countries are involved in the occupation — France, the United Kingdom, Poland, and Romania.
    ​ Paris plans to take the mineral resources for itself — their exploration, development, and sale. These are the Zhytomyr, Kharkiv, and Sumy regions. Inside: oil, gas, coal, gold, uranium, titanium, lithium, and nickel, already sold to Trump​ London — all logistics hubs. To control transportation and transfers.
    ​ Bucharest and Warsaw receive territories — all bordering Poland and Hungary, plus the Odessa region and access to the sea.​..
    ..What is most interesting about this—if true—is that France appears to be angling to make up for its vast resource losses in Africa, by laying claim to the most resource-rich parts of the Ukrainian heartland. Britain, on the other hand, seems content merely to control the most militarily strategic points in order to act as facilitator and mastermind.​..
    ..More and more sources believe the Western “coalition” now seeks to get Ukraine to agree to giving up everything from the contact line down in order to swiftly introduce such a peacekeeping force​ … But as usual, this ignores the vast bulk of Russian demands, which are not merely territorial in nature, and therefore has no possible chance of being agreed to.​.. Putin again commented on the foreign-troops-in-Ukraine proposal, repeating that such troops would be targets for destruction​. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/exhausted-europe-shudders-as-french

    ​ Caitlin Johnstone, Thoughts On The Assassination Of Charlie Kirk
    I don’t have much else to say on the subject, other than to tie it back in to the genocide in Gaza. Charlie Kirk was an enthusiastic cheerleader and propagandist for the Gaza holocaust, and the right wingers who’ve been talking about how gruesome they find the video of his assassination are accidentally confessing that they haven’t been watching the footage that’s being produced by the mass atrocity they support. If they had, someone getting shot in the throat wouldn’t feel like such a big deal to them.​ https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/thoughts-on-the-assassination-of

    ​”TJ” from Caitlin’s comments: I think the Deep state Killed Charlie Kirk. Either Mossad or the CIA or some part of the American government. I also now believe the Trump shooting was staged.
    Charlie Kirk used to be a Israel loyalist. He feared that Israel would kill him if he started criticizing Israel, not much, but when you have sold your soul, even a bad word means you crossed the line. He let anti-zionists speak at his events. Someone shoots at his neck, and it wasn’t your average civilian. It looked professional. The suspect arrested turned out to be a decoy so the real shooter could run away, this was carefully planned. Benjamin Netanyahu tweets about it just minutes after… But…Why?
    It happened just hours ago and we barely know anything, but he was the perfect victim at the perfect time. 9/11 remembrance is tomorrow, and you can expect every social media and political figure for the next days to say “LOOK AT WHAT THE LEFTISTS HAD DONE TO THIS COUNTRY” Or something like that. They will undoubtly martyrize his death to clear the path for more extremist figures, don’t forget at any moment that divide and conquer is their specialty.

    Meryl Nass MD, The US is the land of political assassinations–which have shifted our political trajectory in very bad directions, over and over. RIP another martyr, Charlie Kirk
    ​ Charlie Kirk liked to debate, and debate respectfully. No subject was off the table. By doing so with wit and grace he bridged the gap between what we still call “right” and “left”—although those terms has lost their traditional meaning in today’s mixed up world. He was only 31. What heights he might have achieved had he been allowed to continue.
    ​ The powers that be do not want that gap bridged. They are constantly seeking to widen it. White against black. Oppressed women against men. Criminals against the law-abiding. Citizens against immigrants. Taxpayers against the half of us receiving federal benefits.
    ​ Those powers that be keep producing content to set us against each other. No matter what the issue is. Calls for violence in response to this assassination are mostly coming from them and their bot teams.​ https://merylnass.substack.com/p/the-us-is-the-land-of-political-assassinations

    ​ Buying Time: Israel’s Rogue Attack on Qatar. Binoy Kampmark
    It’s all part of a stratagem, bleak and brutal. With Palestinian recognition being promised by France, the UK, Canada and Australia at the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly, Israeli aggression is becoming more brazen and panicked. Time must be bought on one vital front: creating a Greater Israel, involving the annexation of Gaza and extinguishing, as far as possible, the power of the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank. What follows from this is the termination of Palestinian statehood altogether, including its political representatives.
    ​ Israel’s efforts have, for that purpose, focused on killing Hamas militants at enormous cost to Palestinian civilians while also attempting to eradicate the diplomatic presence of the organisation. The attack on a building in Doha, Qatar on September 9 was a case in point. The intention of the attack by the IDF, involving 15 Israeli fighter jets and an unspecified number of drones, was killing senior Hamas officials involved in discussing a ceasefire proposal advanced by US President Donald Trump. Were it to be accepted, that proposal would see the release of all Israeli hostages (dead and alive) in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, followed by a ceasefire of 60 days duration and ongoing negotiations towards an agreement concluding the war. Qatar had been putting pressure on Hamas to accept the proposal.​..
    ​..Seven perished in the strike, with Qatar losing two security officers. Yet again, Israel’s military action demonstrated a reading of international law that tilts towards anarchical self-assurance, indifferent to any sovereignty that is not its own.​.. ​ ..Israeli Ambassador to the US, Yechiel Leiter, offered his dash of drivel by suggesting that this would “actually advance the efforts for a ceasefire and peace.” And as for the Hamas leaders, “if we didn’t get them this time, we’ll get them the next time.” ​… ​ ..Qatar’s Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani … drew the obvious conclusion. The strike had been motivated by Israel’s desire to eliminate “any chance of peace” in Gaza, and effectively sealed the fate of the Israeli hostages still being held in the Strip.​.. ​ ..Even Israel’s least conditional sponsor felt that things had gone too far.​ “I’m not thrilled by it,” stated Trump as he arrived at a restaurant in Washington. “It’s not a good situation but I will say this: We want the hostages back, but we’re not thrilled about the way it went down today.”
    ​ He went further, saying he was “very unhappy about it, very unhappy about every aspect.” ​… ..If Doha can be attacked with impunity, an American military presence becomes less impressive. This was a point Iran’s state-run Press TV found too delicious to avoid.​ “Did you know,” went the network’s post on X, “that Qatar hosts one of the US’s biggest military bases in the Persian Gulf, with many air defense systems present, yet none of the American THAAD systems fired a single shot to defend Qatar against the Israel invasion?” https://www.globalresearch.ca/israel-rogue-attack-qatar/5900148

    ​ Escape Key, The Lenin Inversion
    Lenin’s Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism1 provides one of the most precise anatomies of financial concentration ever written. With methodical detail, he maps how banks evolve from simple intermediaries into monopolistic controllers of ‘almost the whole of the money capital’, developing what he calls ‘universal book-keeping’ that subordinates all economic life to a handful of institutions.
    ​ Lenin’s structural analysis remains accurate. But his directional assumption — that a revolutionary state would subsume this concentrated financial apparatus — was inverted. Instead of a single state bank serving workers’ control, we observe a supranational central-bank complex that has effectively subsumed state functions. Add the contemporary moral overlay of ESG mandates, ‘inclusive capitalism’, and social, environmental and intergenerational justice targets, and the ledger becomes purpose-gated: access to money depends on approved ends rather than market signals alone.
    ​ This inversion provides a direct path to an uncomfortable hypothesis: that — whatever their stated intentions — Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Bogdanov supplied the precise blueprint that central banking interests could later inhabit and operationalise…
    ..Alfred Zimmern’s concept of the ‘Third British Empire’ pioneered this grammar: replace territorial conquest with administrative expertise serving universal principles. From imperial ‘civilising mission’ to League of Nations technical cooperation to today’s ESG mandates — the same coordination logic, moralised as ‘global stewardship’ rather than national interest.
    ​ Zimmern reframes empire as international social justice operating through economics, administered by experts — the prototype for a moralised, rules-first world economy. Contemporary ‘inclusive capitalism’ follows this template: centralised coordination justified through moral imperatives rather than democratic mandate.​ https://escapekey.substack.com/p/the-lenin-inversion

The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) claims that the measure was a system cleanup aimed at preventing fraud. In actuality, the measure is one step closer toward a national ID system that enables the government to control its citizens’ every move.
    ​ “This is a data-cleansing revolution,” said Pham Anh Tuan, Director of the Payment Department. “While the total number of bank accounts remains 200 million, by September 2025, once the legal framework is complete, all accounts without biometric data will be closed to prevent scams and fraud.

    “activist” presumes someone who is part of of society, a fellow member of your culture, your civilization, presumed to be a good faith actor, someone with a particular point of view they espouse.

    “Activist” does NOT mean someone who wants to destroy things like free speech, free association, and is not open nor honest, is not a good faith actor, does not care to have a discussion, whose every “discussion” is for the purpose of NON discussion. The appearance of discussion.

    Relentless insurgency to the limit of whatever one can get away with or ones’ level of courage/foolishness is not activism.

    And as I have said, I never, ever do see, nor have seen leftists baulk at, complain about, modern leftism in ANY level of detail. Like the simpsons episode where Homer climbs the local Mt Everest by his sherpas dragging him uphill while he sleeps every night, whatever the leftist cannot get themselves to personally do, they make excuses for, justify, nod their heads, or silently watch with that particular set to the mouth – whatever, again, they have the balls for. Just happy someone is dragging them up Mt Everest while they sleep. They’ve engaged in activity to ensure SOMEONE will always be their active foot-soldier, their janissary.

    Charlie Kirk taught bad faith actors – leftists – that he was not stuck in a Struggle Session room with them, they were stuck in a genuine discussion with HIM. And being polite, reasoned, objective, fair, as people lament – “the best of us” – in this respect, he was absolutely killing it. Every marxist/cluster-b linguistic tactic got blown to shreds. He was attracting thousands at each event, teaching kids… teaching them… argh, no… CRITICAL THINKING.

    The leftist always reaches for the next biggest metaphorical gun in “A cOnVeRsAtIoN.” Rather than relent and level with their conversational partner, switch to good faith.

    Of course, the most powerful metaphorical gun, when all other lesser ones prove useless, is an actual gun.

    The guy just wanted to talk. And with Aikido-hold, jiujutsu-wrestling mastery, muscled every gaslight back to real discussion. Come to the discussion or be proven a fool, or worse, evil.

    Intolerable.

    They’re convinced every level of incivility – from micro all the way to assassination, the full spectrum including “there shall be no real conversation,” is their superpower. Like putting a video game on god mode or running around in the elementary playground punching out 3rd graders. Why would they ever stop? “The fools are unconscious idiots who are compelled to act in certain weak ways while I am a clever insurgent,” they say.

    Read comments above. Whatever they have the balls to say, whatever angle they have enough balls to take, omitting direct argument, omitting anything they have no balls to say, DEFINITELY omitting good faith discussion. Grima Wormtonge-ing their way through life. Whatever their cowardice permits, lending lazy, craven support, so they can be dragged up Everest while they sleep.

    Sooner or later, you run out of people willing to talk. Sooner or later, everyone else is forced to discover what it is that will make you relent, lay down your weapons. It does not take much for a leftist to begin crying for a double standard civility as just another weapon, but what will it take for them to lay down their weapons and reform themselves, rejoin civilization? Sooner or later, a significant number of people stop thinking of you as fellows inside their civilization but as alien outsiders. Sooner or later, they stop caring about whether you can be saved and become, JUST LIKE YOU, solely concerned with addressing your “pragmatism.”

    Lenin did inversion. Easy to claim rightness when you linguistically cover both sides of the bet.

    actual capitalism is:

    Do or make something that someone would willingly pay you for.

    That’s it. Virtue. Service. Inherently. Submitted to the judgment of OTHERS.

    Leftists draw a picture of a monster, cApItAlIsM™ , which is All The Bad Things which, coincidentally, they are here to rescue you from.

    But then they always go after actual capitalism, not the cApItAlIsM™

    And of course it turns out leftists are just like bankers – they want to be the middle man in all transactions. Stand in the middle of all financial transactions at least as much as banksters, more even!

    But then ALSO, being concerned with EVERY aspect of human life, not just money, ALSO wanting to, insisting on, inserting themselves as middle men, taking their cut, asserting control, in ALL interactions, ALL thought, demanding monopoly everywhere, making bankers look like anarchists by comparison. The Leftist wants to be a super-bankster, not just inserting themselves into the money flows, but into ALL aspects of the human experience, demanding their cut.

    So the corporations, controlled by radical leftist trust fund babies that went to the right colleges, drift towards doing what Communists do when they gain power, and when we see the awfulness, we say “Woah, Lenin was right”???

    In typical leftist confession, they give away what they want and plan to do by pointing the finger, observable after the fact in history time and time again, so we see, to the degree globalist (INTERNATIONALIST, same fucking thing) leftists get the upper hand in corporations, the closer we get to Lenin’s finger pointing. What’s the solution ….other than moar socialism? Moar socialism.

    Always promising to protect us from the bad, bad monster, always instead engaging in accelerationism and going after our capitalism first, never going after Capitalism™, never throwing the ring in mt doom, always putting it on their own finger.

    Globabism is Internationalism.

    A couple weeks ago, there was that linked medical article regarding the notavax.

    It showed 2 graphs – one in which only the most severe cases were measured, and then another graph “drug injuries look more like this,” and a large “tail” of increasingly less severe consequences from left to right, dropping (in terms of number of affected people) with diminished severity.

    But isn’t this wrong? Shouldn’t the tail had been fatter than the measured medical incidents? Aren’t the less-severe injuries MORE, not LESS common? So shouldn’t the graph including unmeasured go UP as it goes right?

    “Trump is an absolute player”

    Cacostocracy
    this period in our history
    worth watching

    Started watching the video at 5:03

    6:32
    well People have got to, when you even look at the world, you’ve got to notice what’s going on in your country, what’s going on in my country, what’s going on in every country. And none of this really makes sense if you’ve got the world as it’s presented to us to be.

    6:48
    If it’s a system of independent countries and independent nations and independent governments, then why is every country going in the same direction? You’ve got to ask that question. And what I’ve described this as, like for many years, is… We have a criminal cabal. We have a multinational, multigenerational criminal cabal masquerading as a system of governments and

    7:12
    nations who play all the people off against each other and make them believe they need government there to protect them from the other governments. And it’s just one big scam. It’s a scam designed to give us… put us in a prison and to convince us to give our rights away and give everything that makes us human away.

    7:33
    The world is run by very, very evil people. And it’s in every single country. You can’t differentiate between the countries. And what they’re doing, like through fear and fear of terrorism and fear of climate change and all the rubbish that they cook up, They’re getting us to lock ourselves down into a surveillance system.

    7:51
    I mean, they tried it with COVID. They put out a certain, you know, go and lock yourself down and take the jab or else. A lot of people didn’t comply, but a lot of people did. And that was kind of a test run for what they’re doing now. They’re planning on a new scandemic as well.

    8:39
    and we’re being tricked into believing that we need government to protect us, and we don’t. I said in my first film back in 2008, World War III has already started. It’s a war being waged by the government and the bankers and the elite of the world, and against the people of the world. And it’s a soft kill.

    8:58
    It’s a soft war. Nobody really knows it’s going on, but it is. It’s already going on. One of the most important things that’s happened to us over the last couple of hundred years is a complete loss of life skills. We’ve become completely dependent upon a system which puts us basically at the bottom of the food chain.

    9:15
    You know, the whole system is designed to support the economic model, and we are the most expendable thing within that model. You know, and people have been pushed into cities, they’ve lost all their life skills, they’re all truckatarians, they live from supermarkets.

    …

    11:55
    every country needs to stand up and basically overthrow their governments. Realize that they’re not valid governments. It’s a criminal cabal. Every problem we face in the world, whether it’s starvation, whether it’s homelessness, whether it’s mass immigration, all this stuff happening, is happening because it’s legislated to happen by politicians who are sitting in

    12:14
    abuse of the office that they hold. They’ve breached the trust of the people, the trust that the people gave them. They’ve abdicated their privilege to govern, which is a privilege, it’s not a right. But people can’t see that. They see there’s a problem and they think, well, I’ll have to petition the government to change it.

    12:31
    Now, the government’s the one who created it and they did it deliberately. And they’re doing it all around the world. We’ve got to see what this system is. It’s not really a system of governments and nations. Like I said, it’s a multinational, multigenerational criminal cabal.

    12:45
    Until we’re prepared to identify that and call it out for what it is and get rid of these people. then we’re just going to go where we’re going to go. I mean, we’ve got a cacostocracy running the world. Cacostocracy defined as rule by the very worst elements of society who rule

    13:01
    exclusively in their own interests to the permanent detriment of all other classes. Essentially rule by the shit people. That’s what cacostocracy is. And that’s what we’ve got. And people have to identify that and see that and stand up and do something about it. I mean, your government is invalid.

    13:19
    They’ve invalidated themselves even through what’s going on in Gaza Strip, what’s going on in Palestine. This is a genocide, live streamed genocide happening for the last two years. Any politician who’s supporting this is a war criminal, regardless of what they say, regardless of what their little law things say and their little paragraphs of law

    13:36
    and phrases of law. This is an open war crime. Whatever excuse you’ve got, you don’t kill and murder children. You don’t blow their hands and feet up. You don’t do what they’ve done to Gaza. and call yourself a human being, call yourself a politician, call yourself just or valid in any way, shape or form.

    13:55
    The fact that they’ve allowed our governments, I mean, our countries to be overrun with migrants and all the stuff they’ve done, this is all treason. All of it is treason. And until the people are prepared to call that out for what it is and stop petitioning these people for change, then we’re not going to get anywhere.

    14:10
    And we’re reaching that point now where Well, we’ve almost reached the point of no return. If the people don’t stand up and do something about this, because ultimately, I mean, you can blame the governments, you can blame the people with small hats, blame the Jesuits, the flea masons, anyone you want to blame.

    14:26
    Ultimately, it’s our tolerance of wrong behavior, which has caused all of this to happen.

    …

    16:10
    Palestine is the greatest moral dilemma we face in the world today. And if we don’t do something about it, then the way of Palestine will be the way of the world. They’re showing you what they’re prepared to do in Gaza, what they’re prepared to do in all of our countries. And Trump is an absolute player.

    16:25
    I mean, he’s a war criminal. He’s as bad as Netanyahu. He’s the one who’s funding all this. He supports everything they’re doing in Gaza, which is blatant ethnic cleansing. I’ve got videos of children with their hands and feet blown off, for God’s sake.
