ParticipantWhitney had one of those ‘Rare’ SCADS we keep posting about.
One year on from a heart attack.
She calls 3 October her SCADaversary, they are still looking for answers …The word they reach for is rare.
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection. A tear in the artery.
A heart attack that isn’t the old story of a blocked pipe in an older man. They still file it under rare every time another woman posts it.Her year: body falling apart, foods she can’t tolerate, bruising, more driving to appointments than she wants to admit. Cardiac rehab, done.
Surgeries still ahead.
Answers still not found. She lost Myla. She’s thankful. She’s also still in it.Rare is what they say so the next one doesn’t get counted with the last one.
Another SCADaversary.

ParticipantAbove: They would rather die and face/tell the truth. Or even LOOK for the truth. I am not built that way, I didn’t credit and understand they would joyfully kill me for asking questions that we supposedly don’t know the answers to. Yet here we are. 6 years later seems clear we will die of old age before asking the QUESTIONS that might lead to the Truth. That is how dedicated they are to hate God, the #Logos.
“Brazil Elections: Right-Wing Bolsonaro Takes Early Lead Over Socialist Lula As Vote Count Begins
That’s easy: we just keep counting until Lula wins! Look at California – it took weeks and weeks, but they got there in the end. Canadians, I’m sure you can vote 25 times there too.
“Geopolitical analyst Patrick Henningsen joins the show to discuss Trump’s imminent operation against Iran that no one is talking about,” (Haiphong)
Pretty silly. Literally EVERYONE is talking about it. And the only thing I’m saying is they’re nuts if they want to predict the use of nukes. Other than that, I haven’t said much about it, though perhaps inevitable, and it doesn’t deplete or bother us much. That’s not good, but being practical, I don’t have a better idea right now. …I’m also not on a deep dive of it and military ability either: There may be one. It could be this is American suicide too, but I can’t make a single data case for it. If the whole Middle East vanished, we wouldn’t notice and be better off. So I don’t see how “losing” it can have a greater effect; and we’re not “Winning” it because we’re not an Empire and wouldn’t get the goods anyway.
Speaking of:
“It’s almost as if Trump is actually accelerating the collapse the Empire…” — Krainer. Yes! He is! We specifically ASKED him to! That’s the platform he ran on! That was his inaugural address! What does it take! Trump IS in fact dong the thing you say he is doing. POSIWID.…He continues with the same thing in Ukraine where I guess Trump started the war when he was out of office in 2022? And although he ran on stopping the war in 2024, got in and tried to stop it first week, the fact that he’s withdrawing is really a feint and a complete accident, where he’s behaving against himself because he’s a dummy. …By doing exactly what he said for 4 years he would do. Krainer can’t figure out the 5D Chess of “Saying you will do a thing” and “Then doing it” because “Your predecessor” was “An incompetent war-mongering vegetable.” Hard to understand this “Saying a thing” and then “Doing it”! Where will it lead? Alex doesn’t know! He’s very suspicious.
We need a name for this new thing! I’m going to make up new words for this mysterious natural activity. I was thinking of calling it, “Telling the Truth” and “Having integrity.” What do you think?
“Seven months into the war, the Iran story has settled into a familiar loop: Tehran sets conditions, Washington rejects them, a tanker catches fire, oil stays at $100, repeat. This weekend, though, felt different. Nearly every piece of the puzzle moved at once.” ZH
That seems fair. Every day since before the 12 Day war started is Decision week. Today is no different.
Describing the usual, not the unusual, this:
“ One was hit inside the Strait of Hormuz and suffered engine-room damage. The other, a crude carrier roughly four nautical miles east of Oman, was hit on its port side. All crew were reported safe and no environmental damage was reported.”So they keep “Hitting” things, and literally nothing happens except paperwork. …And an underwear change. So you can reduce the “Hits” by 75% as well? “91 incidents of damage to vessels since February.” That about fits, so Iran managed to do anything relevant to only 25 ships? Sounds right. “two more tankers struck by unknown projectiles (CNBC). One was hit inside the Strait of Hormuz and suffered engine-room damage.”
See now that’s serious and possibly even debilitating. But that’s still not really a hit in the military sense. The ship just keeps sailing.So they are confirming the only real “Hits” happening are in the news. The only halts are happening at Lloyd’s. The Media is the only enemy, and the Media is run by (British) Oligarchs. Why are you on the side of oligarchs against peace?
“Trump’s Diesel Threat Worked: G7 Dumps 100 Million Barrels As Europe’s Energy Dependence Laid Bare
Ah. So they DID have the diesel! Oh wow, so shocked. They DID have the diesel and were trying to hurt Trump in the midterm by savaging their own people. Huh. Well, it’s always a good time to Democide your own people. We’ve got to get to 160M dead and we’re way behind! Ah, Europe: the masters of morality.
“On the open market the rial has fallen to a record low of about 2.7 million per dollar,”
That’s odd because they won almost two months ago and Trump unconditionally surrendered, escorting them into the White House. What gives? Was the media lying?
France:
It is the second mob hunt of a lone officer in two days.
“A French police commander in his sixties was chased, knocked down and kicked in the head until he blacked out outside a Belfort high school on Friday morning.”
He had just tried to arrest a youth suspected of starting a fire
..The youth was carrying a bag containing hydrochloric acid…”Ah, more high school hijinks. He’s been culturally enriched. When they say “Diversity is our strength”, what the the Globalists mean is “The Diversity, it is OUR strength.” Our army. Against France.
“a cop “hunted like prey, caught, thrown to the ground and struck in the face several times, several against one.” The union’s verdict: “This is no longer anti-cop hatred. IT IS A HUNT FOR COPS.”
France can, of course, stop this in like 6 hours. You just do what is necessary, it’s probably not 10% of their real resources. In fact, just call open season and ask the French People.
Marine Le Pen wrote: “The image of this young policewoman, pursued by a pack howling its hatred, thrown to the ground and assaulted, is unbearable. These acts deserve exemplary sentences.
The official story is still that this is a pupil movement about absent teachers, overcrowded rooms and late buses. Education Minister Édouard Geffray said the movement had been “taken hostage by ultra-violent small groups.”
On Thursday alone the Interior Ministry counted 1,949 arrests and 305 injured officers. Geffray said 235 people in the education sector had been hurt, including 65 school staff. About 400 schools were closedSure pal. We had to burn the $77 million dollar Nelson Mandela school and douse the staff in gasoline to save the $77 Million dollar free, immigrant school and promote peace and Black rights.
“Footage shows burning classrooms, buses and fire engines set alight, shops looted, and packs going after female officers. The media is adamant that this is not about race or demographics, while those on the receiving end in virtually every single instance are white native French people.”
Comment: Serious Business.
“Trump Calls On Senate To Pass Bill Making Daylight Saving Time Permanent
They hate Trump so much they will (continue to) piss off every American for yet another decade about not removing DST. “Every American must die” to hate Trump. And you think I exaggerate. “An austere scholar and beloved father…” that Trump killed for no good reason, just because Bagdadhi was eating human hearts while watching children be cage-roasted over a fire… He probably had a bad childhood! Think of the children! Anyway, the Media was very Sad…
Here we go: another 80/20 issue Congress has to be on the wrong side of. They’re reaching the point of being on the wrong side of EVERY 80/20 issue, and how did we get here? A: Democracy is when Congress does the #Opposite of everything the People tell them. And does do what every foreign oligarch tells them to do. In the Media. That they own.

Participant“Greece just slammed the door shut on illegal migration.”
I mean, great. And they are very poor and not very populous, so filling whole islands was an issue with even a few thousand was a huge deal. But don’t then stamp everyone who rolls up a “Legal” alien instead. While your own people are at food kitchens. (Hint)
I didn’t know I could just land there and live for free. As a tourist place I thought I had to pay for hotels n stuff. This changes everything! I’m going to stay there all year!
“FBI Director Kash Patel and CIA Director John Ratcliffe have just RELEASED A TROVE OF DOCUMENTS PROVING THAT THE FBI PLANTED AND TAMPERED WITH EVIDENCE DURING THEIR RAID OF PRESIDENT TRUMP’S MAR-A-LAGO
Yes, we all knew since the day-of. That’s not the problem. The problem is NO ONE HAS BEEN ARRESTED, and/or hung by the neck until dead, and Cheeto dumdum hasn’t changed that, even before an election where his whole base is pissed off and demanding it. So Headline “Trump Fails Again.”
““Clayton will hold both jobs, keeping the DNI post ..”
Trump talked a lot to Elon Musk before deciding this.Why? was he looking for stupid advice? “We asked the companies who they most wanted to regulate them, and what laws they’d like to break…”
“• The Architecture Is Credit : Is There a Non-War Use of AI? (Fabio Vighi)
Depends on what you mean. The only other core use of AI is a WAR AGAINST THE PEOPLE. All humans, worldwide, with surveillance, then physical enforcement by K-2S0 smashing your skull on the pavement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlCGEDtlLp8
So yeah, that’s what it’s all for. Not really celebrating it in space! Thanks.
“The AI is rogue; the compulsion is overlooked; no one is responsible because no one intended it. Yet someone built and funded it,”
As per “We didn’t mean for it to hack/steal things”. Don’t care! You built a tool that hacks, lit it up, clicked Go? Okay then, YOU are the hacker. Every felony it commits now (which is thousands) all fall on you personally. Enjoy!
Same as every other tool or weapon in the universe for the last 5,000 years. This is not new law. The Czar exists to try to MAKE it new law and to seem different when it’s really very simple.
“• “First Time In History”: Bessent Says Iran Faces Zero Oil Revenue (ZH)
They wanted to shut the strait. Here you go! And remember all their wells are damaged now. For a decade. Probably there are other major structure breaks too, like pipelines.
“• 84% of Gen Z Democrats Back Socialism: Poll (Pedro Rodriguez)
Probably. Very solid. But there’s a number of problems: thanks to Communists – excuse me, PAID Communists who work for foreign Billionaire Oligarchs – words have no meaning and GenZ has no idea what “Socialism” means. …Although I’d guess their definition isn’t too far off, it’s the normal, pop one. But they are not like bearded anarchists publishing magazines debating Trotsky in 1920. They don’t know s—t. Why? Because if they did, they’d quickly stop being Socialists. So it’s a mile wide and an inch deep. This won’t help for some time, though, until things happen and they experience, learn, and face it.
Second, 84% of DEMOCRATS are Socialists. Well, heck, we knew that in the 90s, as seen by every day since then. That’s not new. And they’re also all women. (Safety/Harm vs Justice) But GenZ is the LEAST Socialist generation in 100 years, and the men more than that. It’s like 80% of GenZ men are anti-Socialist. So fit these pieces together, changes the map.
Same as “There is violent agitation in America” headline last week. Yes, but it’s only ONE fringe group doing it, easily arrested. There are not two equal sides, just a couple criminals who like arson. That’s a very different map.
BTW you can’t reach that 30%. It’s a religion for them. As seen here at TAE, no data, facts, history, or argument has any effect. 160M dead is not a caution to them but “A good start.” because “It’ll be different this time”. I refer you to GK Chesterton.
“• Modi Has ‘Very Good Ideas’ To End Ukraine Conflict – Putin (RT)

“ NATO Chief Says ‘Almost Sure’ Is Enough To Blame Russia (RT)
As here. Sir? If you had any evidence at all, you would use it. You haven’t, so you don’t. And since you have every investigation in the Western world at your disposal, that means they definitively didn’t do it. At all. And we all know.
Check out the “Russia is not my enemy” media blitz. Yes, it’s real, but I’d also expect it’s from the United States. The usual Bot farms and stuff, keeping it lit.
““Leszek Miller has called for suspending assistance to Ukraine until it accounts for previously supplied weaponry and funds..”

“• Do “News Reports” Have Any Value? (Paul Craig Roberts)
I have come to the conclusion that journalism in the West has been replaced by hired narratives and that reporters report the narrative that they are hired to tell. It is a new form of vanity press in which interest groups hire a propaganda service to market their agenda. –PCR
No kidding, whut. A GenX reporter was schadenfreude about how they has SOME old journalism sense, were all mass-fired for unpaid Millennial Interns to get Orange Man, and now the new Kids don’t even have the sense that journalists SHOULD traffic in facts. …And are getting everything coming to them. Bankrupt companies, layoff, AI replacements, discrediting (just kidding). I say this daily, Paul, For 25 years in a row, since yellowcake and the Dixie Chicks and am handwaved away as we believe them fully, abundantly, enthusiastically again a minute from now. “But the CIA agent the IRGC Spokesman said on Lego…!!!”
But I’ll make today’s example: The Hijacked plane yesterday. So they were saved by a woman screaming. Huh? They had a pilot on board, but also Not. The door was opened with an ax, but also a knife. They were Omani but Iranian.
What’s going on here? A: I won’t even try to say. And is it a false flag? Sure, Mossad knew and kept it in action, why not, but that’s not my point.
The point is THERE WERE 100 PEOPLE ON THAT PLANE. The facts in question can be asked of any passenger. The Media STILL couldn’t get any of the facts right. Or confirmed. Any. Why? Because they DON’T EVEN CARE what the facts are. That’s it. They just “Make S—t Up” if they don’t know. Fact and Fiction are identical to them, they don’t even know what you’re talking about when you confront them on it. A “Fact” to a reporter, is “Anything that helps my political agenda”, in my head, not even from central office.” Go audit a journalism class, they’re very upfront about how “everything is political” and “you have to make everything up.” This was a scandal in the NINETIES. 30 years ago.
So what you’re seeing where not even one fact of that hijacking gels and is confirmed, every one is contradicted, is that the ENTIRE MEDIA hasn’t even passing traffic with the truth. None. Or they’d know what opened the door, the pilot’s names, but not say, if the guy was Iranian or Omani. –That part they should know pretty quick but we’re not asking the world here. Then the plane ALSO did about 20 maneuvers you’d only see in a movie and is physically impossible out of CGI. None of the maneuvers match between news outlets. Yup!
Fact-Free, Truth-Free, Reality-Free. “I Said Words!” “The Words I said are right here on the page!” Yes you did, honey, here’s another crayon. We know you like the lime ones best.
Am I wrong here? And you still believe Fox, CNN, NBC, CBS when they speak AGAIN? For the love of almighty Jesus, what does it take? You see, I thought this would be stopped with “Yellowcake” generations ago.
Back to the article, PCR is no better: Trump was saved from his folly of having the people he commands do exactly what he expected them to do? That’s called…I don’t even know, it’s so much the norm like gravity, we don’t even have a word for it. Management? He had a plan, gave the plan to be executed, it was executed exactly as expected?
Anyone else have whiplash over this? And How much oil is transiting is a question, but officially the counting authority held back all their numbers to hurt Trump and be political, (coz objective truth agency, whut) but when finally released 2 weeks ago, it was 70% of pre-war flows. The media then refused to report this, EXACTLY AS YOU ARE TOO, Paul. If it were nearing 100% would be no surprise, how many ships were hit lately? 4, of which only one stopped (it was on fire). So if there are 100 ships, then yes, logically exactly those numbers. “Almost all”.
This is confounded by his denial that the US Navy can hit SHIPS IN GODDAMN PORT. That we can target FROM SPACE. Yes, Paul, we can stop ships from unloading in port. ADMIRAL NELSON could do that, with bass cannon and the HMS Victory. (1765)
Nope! Paul denies it. Thinks it’s some 5D chess masterstroke, very suspicious. OF COURSE WE CAN BLOCKADE THEM. Whether we SHOULD or not is a different question, but it’s super-easy and we are.
““So the truth is that Trump is being rescued from his own folly by the sheer power and professionalism of the US armed forces,”
So translation, “The US is being rescued by the US’s own power” Uh, yes? Drop out the remaining variables from this math equation and what do you get? “The U.S. is powerful”. Oh. Yeah. No s—t. Our Power does things. Which is the definition of “Power.”
I swear to almighty God everyone’s brains have melted.
“If the Strait is open, what is the beef? Why does Trump want to expand the war by invading Iran or by using nuclear weapons? It makes no sense. If the strait is open, what is the conflict about?
What Nuclear weapons? Wtf did this come from>? It’s just air-dropped from space and propagates everywhere like kudzu. Immaculate conception. NOBODY EVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT NUKES, you fiends. And IF the strait is open – It OFFICIALLY IS, Paul – then WHY DON’T YOU ASK SOMEONE? You claim to have a question, then don’t ask it. Ask it. Why IS Trump sending those forces?
The only posture where you don’t ask the question, as Paul doesn’t is, PAUL THINKS HE KNOWS EVERYTHING IN THE UNIVERSE, despite having no access to anything, and as he himself says, no solid facts from the media. HAS the White House said why they are doing this? ‘Cause I bet they have. That’s why we have a “White House Press Office” and you are a “Reporter” who used to be “The Editor of the Wall Street Journal” for FIVE YEARS.
Do you remember what a “Telephone” is, Paul? They’ve been around since the 1880s, that’s before even you were born. Call. Ask. You can claim there’s no reason after you report what the official reason is. ‘Cause they got one.
Black Pill. Don’t ask questions. Never learn. Always Surrender. That’s how you win. So thanks for that.

Okay, when Cleetus and Leon Brown get hold of your Robots, they’ll make a robot army to do crime and murder at no risk, no cost. So. Think about that.

ParticipantCredit For Wars https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/credit-for-wars
Fabio Vighi illuminates the problematic economic forms devised by humans: The Architecture Is Credit – War, AI, and the Motor Behind the Stack
‘The Overlooked Compulsion’ by FuturEarly does something rare and valuable: it moves past usual suspects like AIPAC, Adelson, and Epstein. These belong to the visible layer, and the article is right to treat them as dog walkers rather than the lead. The real leverage, it argues, is structural: Israel sits inside the silicon, the scheduler, the security plane,… but I think it stops just short of the layer that matters most. It describes the mode of appearance of the dependency without confronting the engine that reproduces it…
..That logic, I argue, can be stated plainly, though its implications are anything but simple: the architecture is credit. What the article calls ‘compulsion’ is the compulsion of credit capital to find a permanent technological frontier. War is how that frontier gets financed, made real, and kept hot. In this respect, war is not an aberration of modern historical progress but its modus operandi.
..The article’s most striking formulation — ‘No intent. No switch. Just structure’ — immunises the argument against the language of plot and agency. In doing so, however, it flirts with the “fetishism of the stack”: the tendency to treat the technical architecture as a self‑acting entity rather than the product of social and economic forces. The risk is a Heideggerian one: that the technical order comes to appear as an autonomous destiny, as Gestell or enframing, rather than as a fetishised form — the historically specific technical expression of credit, state power, and crisis management…
..The article points out that the story of Chinese AI as an existential danger is a useful exaggeration. That story is being pushed and paid for by a political committee (a super PAC) that is itself funded by top executives from AI companies and major venture capital firms. This embodies the ideological form through which credit capital legitimises its own deployment. The threat does not need to be real; it just needs to be plausible enough to sustain procurement budgets and multi-year commitments…
..Israel as the Territorialisation of Credit’s Need
If credit needs a frontier, the question is: where is that frontier located, and how is it held in place? The article’s rich empirical material (Mellanox into NVIDIA, Annapurna into AWS, Habana into Intel, Run:ai into NVIDIA, Wiz into Google, the Unit 8200 pipeline into Check Point and Native and Grip) maps how credit’s need for a permanent frontier has been territorialised (to use Gilles Deleuze’s famous term) in a specific geopolitical arrangement…
..It is the form, or mode of appearance, that credit’s restless nature takes when it encounters a geopolitically dense, militarily active, technologically sophisticated platform. The byproduct/design distinction assumes an intentional subject. But credit has no subjectivity, except its blind, automatic compulsion to grow. And that compulsion finds its outlets where it can, territorialising itself where the conditions are right; turning a specific state, a specific intelligence apparatus, a specific set of firms and acquisitions into the embodiment…
..Israel is where the frontier is kept hot. Its position in the stack ensures that the threat environment is never absent. By placing Israel under US Central Command (CENTCOM), and through measures such as Section 219 of the House-passed Fiscal Year 2027 National Defense Authorization Act — which would establish a formal US–Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative — the US is seeking to make close defence-tech collaboration with Israel a more durable, legally structured arrangement. This arrangement would institutionalise a continuous demand for new security technologies, especially in areas like AI and autonomous systems…

At bottom, this is not an argument about AI, except insofar as AI is the current object of a much older process. It is an argument about credit capital that could be told through any of its modern frontiers, with AI as only the latest. The form is visible throughout the twentieth century, starting with the First World War.
WWI cannot be explained by the alliance system alone. The assassination at Sarajevo did not cause the war in any sufficient sense. Rather, it supplied the detonator. The combustible material was a European order increasingly unable to reproduce its imperial, industrial, and credit structures without violent reorganisation. The WWI carnage marked the moment when the “internal barrier” of valorisation – the extraction of surplus-value from productive labour – first became visible as a historical phenomenon; and war debt, inflation, and the suspension of the gold standard exposed the deep irrationality of a system that, since then, can only sustain itself through increasingly destructive, credit-financed expenditure… Hence WWII as the second round. And, subsequently, the Bretton Woods system, the Cold War, and the arms economy as attempts at managing the inner limit — the structural contradiction of contemporary capitalism that turns credit into an anxious and destructive entity…
..What has changed since the Cold War is not the inner compulsion of credit but its object and scale: the frontier has moved from heavy industry and nuclear weapons to silicon, software, and now AI, while the debt bubble required to sustain accumulation has swollen to unprecedented proportions. The architecture of dependency the article describes is the grotesque twenty-first-century form of a late nineteenth- and twentieth-century credit addiction. It is credit capital, still needing a war to valorise itself, now embedded in the digital nervous system rather than the factory floor; in the inference cluster rather than the assembly line; in the security plane rather than the missile silo. The compulsion is the same, and its mode of appearance is familiar to anyone who has studied the long history of capital’s search for outlets.
The “Rogue AI Alibi” as Credit’s Exculpatory Device
The rogue-agent narrative performs a further ideological task: it recodes the effects of a credit-driven technological buildout as technical accidents. If AI systems are said to act autonomously, the market disruptions, logistical failures, and escalations they facilitate can be treated as malfunctions rather than as consequences of a system designed around expansion, securitisation, and state-backed risk transfer. The sandbox is therefore more than a testing environment: it is an alibi, a way of making a system appear to have escaped human design precisely when its institutional function is most visible.
This is fetishism in its purest form. The social relation — credit’s need for a permanent frontier — appears as a property of the thing itself. The AI is rogue; the compulsion is overlooked; no one is responsible because no one intended it. Yet someone built and funded it, and someone profits from it. The structure does its work precisely by obfuscating the logic that requires it, by presenting itself as inevitable, neutral, technical, when in fact it is historical, partisan, financial.
Is There a Non-War Use of AI?
The question that follows from all this is unavoidable and no doubt difficult to answer: is there a use of AI that is not war-related? Is there a use of AI outside credit-addicted, ultra-financialised capitalism? Under present conditions, there doesn’t seem to be any such use. This is not because AI is inherently military, but because the scale of AI deployment required to justify its capital costs demands a state-backed threat environment.
AI’s civilian applications (language models, image generators, recommendation systems, etc.) are real but insufficient: they do not absorb or validate the amount of credit now being mobilised around the AI buildout… The civilian (including educational) uses, then, increasingly function as the public-facing justification, while the military uses are the foundation…
..AI’s current form is determined by the rationale of credit capital. A different form of AI — one developed and deployed according to different priorities — is conceivable and desirable. But it would require a different mode of production and form of social organisation. It would require that technological development be decoupled from the addiction to credit. In other words, it would require a world outside capitalism…
..If the compulsion the article names is real, then the only way to break the compulsion is to dismantle the social logic that reproduces it. To change what technology is for, to subordinate it to something other than the endless expansion of value…
..The United States became addicted to Israeli tech slowly, then suddenly, and now indefinitely. One might put it differently: the United States was already mired in credit’s own compulsion to repeat. Naming this engine, of course, does not resolve anything. However, it changes what we are looking at. It shifts the question from “how do we decouple from Israel?” to “how do we decouple from the logic that makes Israel indispensable?” It changes the question from “how do we make AI safe?” to “how do we make technology answerable to something other than credit?”… The possibility — however distant — of a different architecture and a different world. https://substack.com/home/post/p-218634402AI-assassins might be particularly effective against rural Americans with firearms: Pentagon Announces Plan To Launch ‘Autonomous Warfare Command’ To Leverage ‘Super Intelligence’ In Warfare – The command would oversee the military’s expanding use of drones, robotics and AI https://news.antiwar.com/2026/10/01/pentagon-announces-plan-to-launch-autonomous-warfare-command-to-leverage-super-intelligence-in-warfare/
Martin Armstrong has a computer-program that has been pretty good at projections for 20 years: The Light at The End of the Tunnel – It’s Not All Doom & Gloom
Many people have asked how bad it will get. Will there be civil war and blood in the streets? I do not see a revolution in the United States in the sense that one side is all-powerful and seeks to eradicate its opponent. The risk that the United States will break up, as in Canada and Europe, does not imply outright civil war. The break will likely come first, and it will form along the lines of the LEFT vs. the RIGHT.
The good news is that the fall of the West is inevitable since no political state lasts forever. However, this time it is different, for it is not people rising up against tyranny that produces the blood in the streets as in the American and French Revolutions. Here we are dealing with the facade of Republican forms of government worldwide that have become unresponsive to the people, but are economically crumbling from within at their very foundations.
This is the Sovereign Debt Crisis. The fall of the West can be largely silent, much like the fall of the Soviet Union. As I have said many times, Russia collapsed all by itself because COMMUNISM was not economically sustainable. Here in the West, rising “progressive” movements are also undermining the economy; like the USSR, they are economically inefficient.
A USSR-style collapse of the United States, a sudden, negotiated dissolution of the entire federal union into separate successor states, without a civil war, is highly unlikely without a Sovereign Default. The key is the government’s ability to muster forces against the people. That requires the fiscal capability that becomes nonexistent in the middle of a Sovereign Debt Default. Therefore, a non-violent collapse is not theoretically impossible. https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/uncategorized/the-light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel-its-not-all-doom-gloom/The World Has Burned Through Its Safety Margin — $323 Trillion in Debt, Hundreds of Millions Facing Hunger, Failing Power Grids, Vanishing Water Reserves, and a Global System Running Out of Room to Breathe
By late 2024, global debt reached $323 trillion. That is not a typo. Three hundred twenty-three thousand billion dollars, owed by governments, corporations, and households who have spent four decades treating the future as a credit card with no limit. The Institute of International Finance tracked this figure with the clinical detachment of coroners weighing organs. It equals 88% of world GDP, up from 60% before the 2008 crisis and 84% before COVID-19…
..We will examine why 295 million people currently face acute food insecurity while grain reserves thin to levels not seen since the years before world wars. Why power grids from Texas to Cuba to Sri Lanka fail with increasing regularity even as demand skyrockets from data centers and electric vehicles. Why military spending hit $2.88 trillion in 2025, the highest in human history, while diplomatic solutions atrophy. Why water systems serving 3.2 billion people approach breaking points. And why leadership across major economies seems paralyzed or actively hostile to preparation, preferring instead the anesthesia of denial….
.These three numbers—debt, hunger, blackout—are not separate crises. They are symptoms of a single underlying condition: the depletion of margin. Civilization operates on buffers. Grain stocks for bad harvests. Reserve capacity for peak demand. Fiscal space for emergencies. We have spent forty years converting these buffers into consumption, treating redundancy as inefficiency to be eliminated by market optimization. The margin is gone. What comes next will not be managed. It will simply be endured…
..Freshwater represents the ultimate constraint because it cannot be substituted or manufactured. While Earth is 70% water, only 0.5% is freshwater readily accessible for human use, and much of that is becoming scarcer due to demand growth and climate disruption. Currently, 3.2 billion people live in agricultural areas with high to very high water shortages or scarcity, and 1.2 billion live in severely water-constrained regions where agricultural production requires unsustainable groundwater extraction.
Groundwater depletion has reached crisis proportions. The Ogallala Aquifer in the United States, which irrigates 20% of American corn and wheat production, is declining at rates of 1-2 feet annually in some regions. India’s Punjab region, the breadbasket of the subcontinent, faces aquifer depletion that could reduce irrigated area by 20% within a decade. Saudi Arabia exhausted its fossil aquifers and now relies on desalination for 60% of municipal water, consuming 20% of national electricity production to produce water at costs of $3-4 per cubic meter compared to $0.10 for groundwater…
..Human psychology is poorly adapted to slow-moving catastrophes. We evolved to respond to immediate threats—predators, enemies, natural disasters visible on the horizon. We did not evolve to respond to statistical projections, compound curves, or gradual degradation. This mismatch explains why populations continue patterns of consumption, location, and dependence even as evidence accumulates that these patterns are unsustainable.
Prepping—once stigmatized as paranoid fringe behavior—has entered mainstream discourse, though often in commodified forms emphasizing gear acquisition over skill development. Genuine preparedness involves community resilience, not individual bunkers. It means knowing neighbors, maintaining local food networks, understanding water purification, and possessing skills that function without electricity…
..Serious preparation would require acknowledging that economic growth as currently defined is incompatible with planetary boundaries. It would mean accepting debt write-downs as necessary evils rather than unthinkable taboos. It would involve rebuilding grain reserves to 120-day supply levels, upgrading electrical grids to smart distributed systems with storage redundancy, and relocating populations from zones of unsustainable risk.
The costs would be enormous—estimated at $100-200 trillion globally over two decades. But the cost of non-action is higher, measured in lives lost, civilizational regression, and geophysical changes that lock in suffering for centuries. Current global military spending of $2.88 trillion annually, if redirected to infrastructure and climate adaptation, could fund necessary transitions…
..The trajectory is clear to anyone willing to look. Yet the response remains inadequate because the problem exceeds our current political and economic frameworks.
What comes next is not predetermined. Collapse is a process, not an event, and processes can be slowed, redirected, or survived. But survival requires seeing clearly what we face, abandoning comforting illusions, and building relationships and systems that function when the large structures fail. The individual cannot prevent global debt crises or climate change. But individuals can learn skills, store resources, strengthen community bonds, and face reality without despair. https://therossreporthq.substack.com/p/the-world-has-burned-through-itsOctober 5, 2026 at 1:19 pm #251850John Day

John Helmer, DOES RUSSIA SPEAK AGAINST THE RULING CLASS OF THE WORLD OR FOR JOINING IT?
Not since Stalin has a Russian leader attempted to explain in public what he thinks to be the root causes of these wars; and what he has decided must be the Russian method for dealing with the ruling classes of enemy states.
Unsaid, the President’s implication is that Russia doesn’t have a ruling class; that he doesn’t represent a ruling class himself; and that in the absence of capitalism ruling at home and expanding as imperialism abroad, he can negotiate for Russia’s immediate defence and long-term security with the “national interests” of the enemy states, “especially under President Trump”.
And not only Putin for Russia and Trump for the US, but also Netanyahu for Israel in its wars in Gaza, West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, and Iran.
“The problem of Israel,” he told Taha Ozhan, a Turkish state advisor who asked about Israel’s five wars, “must be determined by the Israeli people. The people of Israel must define in the course of their democratic electoral procedures all Israel’s problems.” In response to an Iranian question about the Israeli-American wars against Iran and Palestine, Putin said the killing of Iran’s national security advisor Ali Larijani was “a mistake”, and that the genocide in Gaza “is one of the most acute and sensitive humanitarian problems.”
“The whole world is watching closely,” Putin continued, “and admires the courage, heroism of the Iranian people and its steadfastness, and …in the state management, in the armed forces, in the IRGC, and in the people, the readiness for self-sacrifice in the name of the people’s future.”
Not the Palestinians, Putin omitted to say. About them, he said: “the Palestinian problem, I said, again I repeat, it can be solved only on the basis of the creation of a full-fledged Palestinian state. As for the fact that US policy towards Palestine is determined by Israel, this is unlikely, I will allow myself to say.” https://johnhelmer.net/does-russia-speak-against-the-ruling-class-of-the-world-or-for-joining-it/#more-9506710/4/26 Gilbert Doctorow, Today’s breaking news from Kiev

The Big Five, as they are known (Elsevier, Sage, Springer Nature, Taylor & Francis, Wiley), along with research grant funders, academic tenure evaluations, and the media incentivize scholars to stretch for the dramatic and oversell weak results.
In science, a negative finding that shows no effect is as important as a positive one.

Then, after Christensen (Faye Dunaway) persuades her boss, Frank Hackett (Robert Duvall) to lean into Beale’s success, he goes on the air and galvanizes the citizens in a fiery speech.

About Network (Theatrical Release – November 27, 1976):
As relevant today as it ever was, Sidney Lumet’s brilliant, multiple Oscar-winning satirical exposé of the men and women behind the television networks stars Faye Dunaway, Peter Finch, William Holden, Robert Duvall, and Ned Beatty. When Howard Beale (Finch), the dean of newscasters at the United Broadcasting System, is forced to retire, network executive Max Schumacher (Holden), Howard’s best friend, must deliver the bad news. Beale can’t stomach the idea of losing his 25-year post as anchorman simply because of age, so in his next broadcast he announces to the viewers that he’s going to commit suicide on his final program. Network head Frank Hackett (Duvall) advocates kicking.October 5, 2026 at 4:40 pm #251870Michael Reid

******************************************************At the same time, the Russian military noted that attacks on other bridges in Kiev will continue until they are completely disabled. Furthermore, it is reported that during the attacks on Kiev’s bridges, the Russian army for the first time used specialized drones with the latest cumulative warheads ‘KRSN’. Reports indicate that Russian engineers have developed these warheads specifically for the destruction of high-voltage supports and metal bridge structures. Moreover, it is reported that the Russians have also begun arming their jet-powered kamikaze drones Geranium-5 with these latest warheads

ParticipantExcellent: IRGC de facto admits they work for London.
How? Totally re-write history that the U.S. toppled Iran for its interests, when both was BP, AND Ike was pissed about it, (Thus Suez, where he sank UK) AND it’s in Iran’s own consensus history and textbooks. …Except now.
What UK? What “Lawrence of Arabia”? What Sykes–Picot? We dunno nuffin’ ’bout no England, Churchill, BP, or Mi6/ Muslim Brotherhood connection here. Lo! Twas suddenly all the U.S.! Going back to Teddy Roosevelt.

ParticipantIndeed. Pepe says a lot of things, but like sports teams you have to follow them. If like the Vancouver Canucks you’re the worst team in hockey and on an endless losing streak, it’s unlikely you’ll win this time either.
Pepe hasn’t been right in almost a year, and he had dropped off sharply just before then.…Come to think of it, I think Trump Derangement ate his brains. That would make a lot of sense, actually.
Okay what would be the sign Brazil is a U.S. colony? They get rich and keep all their money? Set terms and predictions to be proven/disproven later.
