a note. The burn bags. We call it “playing the game”. Someone ordered those documents burned (jerk). Someone knew that was wrong (patriot). Security compartments have total exclusivity of need to know. No one goes in unless they are on the list. No one. And no one gets to see the list. No one. Burn bags can be serialized with receipts. The jerk gets a receipt. Happy. The patriot put the bags in a compartment instead of an actual burn. Probably wore gloves. Like the ark of the covenant in raiders. Dont know. Dont care. They are jerks so we are going to need whatever is in the bag. Dont burn.
No one knows how many patriots there are. Never come out of hiding. We know there are at least 3.

Unsubstantiated hypothesis. Trump does things that defy reality. From JohnDay yesterday. If the real war is against the Rothschilds and they also are calling the shots. Then you do what they tell you. Exactly. Work to rule and let the chips fall where they may. Or maybe bias any ambiguity against them. Play the game.
So is Trump the best or the worst? Sorry citizenx, those are not the only 2 choices.

[D Benton Smith]

Financial Bubbles don’t collapse of their own overexpansion, obscure(d) mathematical limitations or any other unknown and unknowable arcane “reasons” explainable only in confabulated and indecipherable techno-speak.

They get popped on purpose by the same people who inflated them in the first place (banks and bankers working in close collaboration with governments) as a means of wiping own the suckers and taking the properties for themselves for pennies on the dollar or for free when “bad loans” are foreclosed and the lender repossess the collateral.

It’s a scam on a par with the scam of money itself (in which “lenders” lend fake shit and demand real stuff in repayment).

It’s August 2025, we are now closer to 2050 than to the year 2000

The EU is a failed experiment as bad as the USSR was.

Unlike the former USSR which reinvented itself in large measure due to Putin, Europe will will take the rest of the century, if lucky, to partially recover, due to it’s role as a vassal of the newly minted USSA, another fatally flawed experiment gone bad.

Russia remains the only vessel, as opposed to vassal, left to keep the flame of western civ alive.

The USSA is now the boot stomping the face of Lady Liberty around the world.

The harsh truth

• Chuck Grassley Releases Declassified John Durham Annex (CTH)

An open assault on the presidency in retaliation for Trump winning the election.

The process became not about facts but about constructing a narrative at any cost.

—————
Root Cause

• The Artificial Demon (James Howard Kunstler)

Mr. Putin has put up with our country’s psychotic nonsense with remarkable patience.
The idea that he seeks to conquer western Europe was a preposterous confection of the neocon crazies in our State Department and Intel “community.”

The long game for the neocon crazies has been to use NATO as the instrument to break up Russia and gain control of its resources.
This was after Secretary of State James Baker told Mikhail Gorbachev on February 9, 1990, in discussions over German reunification, that “not an inch of NATO’s present military jurisdiction will spread in an eastern direction.”
Starting in 1999 with the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland, sixteen additional nations were induced to join NATO, encroaching on Russia’s borders, with new military bases and missiles.
It was a stupid game.

Hillary Clinton campaign prank metastasized into the worst perversion of abusive government power in our country’s history, and is yet on-going.

Use alternative payment mechanisms.

Today, almost all trade operations between Russia and China are conducted in rubles and yuan.

American economic coercion, intimidation.

Trump positions himself as a peacemaker and openly aspires to win a Nobel Peace Prize, while at the same time bombing Iran and assisting Israel in perpetuating the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

US imposes tariffs

The harsh truth.
1. the tariff tax will come out/be paid by the buyers
2. Canadians can adjust/survive being, (“off grid”), with lower exports due to loss of US buyers
3. Supply line and packaging will adapt/change.
4. Gov. will find ways to survive.

[Dr D Rich]

Nah…
No
Nada.

Indemnified, all of them.

No one bought liability insurance because no one needed it.
No one needed liability insurance because they all knew they’d been indemnified.
Obama and His Team of Principals openly met behind closed doors in The Oval Office January 5, 2017 and indemnified the whole wrotten lot.

Obama’s actions vis a vis (((i love vis a vis and you will too))), Trump/RussiaGate follow the same script of The Bush Torture Regime. Take a criminally psychopathic President and have him execute A Criminal Enterprise from The Oval Office AND ((2nd ‘and’)) announce that program is essential to the survival of The Nation against foreign actors and internal enemies of the State.
Anyone who opposed Obama or Bush2 was isolated, discredited, silenced, removed from the public sphere, reduced to entry level employment, or killed.

Where are the great brains here and their prodigious memories?

Mitchell & Jessen Associates Spokan WA read about ’em.
Right out in the open.
Crowed about reverse engineering SERE torture to torture as a “higher calling to Justice in Defense of The Nation”.
Paid at least 8 figure out of 9 figure Contract To Design, Implement, Execute Torture on behalf of DoD et al
Indemnified by The CIA so they say
The Courts obeyed and followed suit when Mitchell & Jessen were taken to court.

Enter Obama
His Crew paid handsomely for The Steele Dossier a pure fraud. That’s honest services fraud at least AND RICO to the maximum.
Still, how much was paid to Crowdstrike and Those Vindman Twins.
Marc Sussman attorney Elias Law Group lies to FBI about lying to the FBI about Russiagate “information” he and another firm “accessed” from FBI servers AND remains at large, effectively exonerated by federal courts.

So what’s new?
What’s the difference between he openly criminal policy of the Bush2 Administration and the open criminality of the Obama Administration?

Name That Thing https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/name-that-thing

The Ethical Skeptic explains this useful word: Exapátisiology: The study of narrative coercion, the intoxicating rush some derive from combining power with just enough deception to mislead—yet not so much as to be caught and held to account by those they exploit. The embezzler sleeps soundly so long as the only crime in town is called “bank robbery,” and he’s its loudest foe. While he holds the keys to the vault, the word “embezzle” will never exist…
..It is this missing but essential term—exapátisiology—that the ethical skeptic also recognizes as a tactic of exapátisiology itself: to permit no language to exist that can precisely name one’s crimes. As Orwell observed in 1984, the aim of Newspeak was to make certain disapproved thoughts “literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express them.” In like manner, the practitioner of exapátisiology seeks to strip the lexicon of any term capable of exposing their abuse of authority—thereby rendering the recognition of such abuse, if not unthinkable, at least unspeakable.​ https://theethicalskeptic.com/2025/07/31/exapatisiology/

​ US Senate Democrats invoke century-old law for Epstein files release​
​ US Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Wednesday that Senate Democrats will invoke a century-old law to force the release of the full files of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
​ “Today, Senate Democrats take additional action to try and uncover the truth about the Epstein files.​ This morning, I join all of my Democratic colleagues on the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee in invoking a century-old law known as the ‘Rule of Five’ to compel the Department of Justice to release the full and complete Epstein files, which to date, of course, they have refused to be transparent about,” Schumer said from the Senate floor.
​ Schumer said that under federal law, when any five senators on the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee demand that the executive branch release investigative documents, “they must comply.”​ https://www.aa.com.tr/en/americas/us-senate-democrats-invoke-century-old-law-for-epstein-files-release/3646644

​ Durham Annex Bombshell Exposes New Twist in Russian Collusion Hoax​
​ Newly-declassified so-called Clinton Plan intelligence included intercepted communications from a George Soros ally which suggested that Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign against Donald Trump was plotting a “long-term affair to demonize” Trump by linking him to Russian leader Vladimir Putin, and that the Clinton campaign expected that “the FBI will put more oil into the fire.”
​ The revelations, including intercepted purported communications from Leonard Benardo, a top official at George Soros’s Open Society Foundations, and communications by Clinton foreign policy adviser Julianne Smith, provide new insight into information that the U.S. intelligence community received in July 2016 – just before the FBI launched its politicized Crossfire Hurricane investigation.​ https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/07/31/durham-annex-bombshell-the-soros-connection-to-russia-hoax-n4942280

​ Can the Russian President just say that? PUTIN PRISES OPEN ROTHSCHILD GRIP – OUR CHILDREN WILL BE BORN FREE
‘Our future generations will be born without Rothschild chains around their wrists and ankles,’ Putin thundered before the Russian Parliament. That statement alone shattered decades of silent global enslavement.
​ For over two centuries, the Rothschilds have ruled through economic conquest, installing central banks, manufacturing crises, and enforcing IMF slavery.
​ Their playbook? Crash economies offer eyewatering high-interest loans, and demand total political and economic control in return. Putin saw it. And he burned it.​ https://michaelwalshwriter.com/2025/07/29/putin-prises-open-rothschild-grip-our-children-will-be-born-free/

​ Simplicius on the Russian summer offensive gulping ground as Ukrainians ​lie dead or exhausted: Chasov Yar Falls, Pokrovsk Crumbles, Zelensky Sinks​ Zelensky’s seeming backtracking, however, did not end the latest MSM blitz against his ‘image’. Even protests continued, as people took to the streets outside the Rada building while the vote was in progress.
​ At the same time, the Western narrative machine has ramped up in pushing Zelensky’s would-be successor to the fore, as Vogue released an eyeroll-inducing feature on Zaluzhny undoubtedly meant to begin massaging his image, revealing his soft ‘human side’ in run up to the eventual narratives that will convince us why he’ll make such a great new “people’s leader”​…
​..Trump admitted the tariffs “may not work” and seemed generally half-hearted and lackadaisical about the whole thing—or perhaps, more aptly, defeated… It continues to have the feel of ‘going through the motions’ merely to appease hardliners who hold all the political and donor power in Washington.​..
​..Some last items of note:
​ Trump says that he’s now stopped six wars during his term, and he’s averaging one new war ended per month—which, of course, qualifies him for the Nobel Peace Prize—or maybe even multiple ones!​ …
..In the meantime, Arestovich has explained that Trump’s sanctions will do nothing but harden Russians and make them fight even more bitterly.

For years, they pumped out fantasies of victory while dragging Ukraine deeper into a war it could never win. Now, as the reality sets in, they’ll be forced to sell this bitter defeat to their own people,wrapped in lies, spun with hollow rhetoric.

​ Scott Ritter, Trump and Medvedev’s Dangerous Exchange of Words – As the rhetoric heats up, we must remain cognizant of the consequences
​ President Trump has become enthralled with the Israeli “Nasrallah” solution—leadership decapitation and middle management disruption designed to bring about the rapid collapse of a government/system.
​ It was tried—and failed—in Iran.
But Trump is being advised by Russophobes who believe that the US can successfully implement such a plan against Russia.
​ This plan begins with sanctions, as all such plans do.
It ends with a decapitation strike on Moscow.
​ Trump’s imagined conversation with Putin, where he threatened to “bomb the sh*t out of Moscow”, is indicative of the President’s thinking in this regard.
The preferred decapitation strike is done using B-52 bombers launching cruise missiles, accompanied by Trident missiles launched from Ohio-class submarines operating off the coast of Russia, allowing for a flatter trajectory flight and shorter flight time.
​ Medvedev’s comment about the “Dead Hand” indicates that Russia is well aware of Trump’s plans.
​ The “Dead Hand”, or Perimeter system, is a long-standing fail-safe mechanism/plan which guarantees a full-scale nuclear retaliation in case any nation is foolish enough to try a decapitation strike.​ https://scottritter.substack.com/p/trump-and-medvedevs-dangerous-exchange

​ Trump Deploys 2 Nuclear Subs After Medvedev’s “Foolish, Inflammatory” Statement​
​ Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev issued the Kremlin’s response to President Trump’s Monday announcement from Scotland that he’s reducing a deadline for Russia to agree a peace settlement from 50 days to 10 or 12 days, citing ‘disappointment’ in Putin not ending or at least winding down the war.
​ Medvedev warned: “Russia isn’t Israel or even Iran” and thus that “Each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war. Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with (Trump’s) own country.”​ …
..Friday morning, President Trump took to his Truth Social account and escalated from words to actions moving two nuclear submarines to be positioned “in the appropriate regions” based on “highly provocative” statements from former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.
​ “Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances,” Trump says​. https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/trump-deploys-2-nuclear-subs-after-medvedevs-foolish-inflammatory-statement
