ParticipantIsraeli forces continue raid on West Bank’s Al Mughayyir for third day
Israeli forces on Saturday extended their assault on the West Bank town of Al Mughayyir into the third day, raiding homes, arresting residents, and bulldozing farmland, according to witnesses and Palestinian officials, Anadolu reports.
Local activist Mohammed Abu Alia said troops stormed more than 30 houses, ransacked belongings, and fired tear gas inside one residence. He added that soldiers seized vehicles, money and jewelry, while barring residents and journalists from entering the town. Many families have been stranded outside since Thursday. https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20250823-israeli-forces-continue-raid-on-west-banks-al-mughayyir-for-third-day/ Israeli military uproots thousands of Palestinian olive trees in West Bank

Former State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller told Israel’s Channel 13 on Thursday that former Secretary of State Antony Blinken had warned Israel’s war cabinet early in the fighting that the country risked an endless insurgency without a clear plan about Gaza’s future.
“You’re right. We are going to be fighting this war for decades to come. That’s the way it’s been.

From Eleni in Athens: “We Can’t Have Greece Become a Playground For IDF Soldiers”: Israeli Tourists Traveling to Greek Islands Met With Pro-Palestine Protests
An Israeli cruise ship making repeated tours of Athens and the Greek islands has been met by protests nearly every time it docks this summer, as Palestine solidarity demonstrators in Greece escalate actions and tactics amid growing anger over Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
The Crown Iris—a 10-deck cruise ship complete with a casino, theater, waterslide, and basketball court and holding up to 2,000 passengers—leaves from Haifa every few days for four- to seven-day cruises of the nearby Greek Islands.
At its most recent stop at the port of Piraeus near Athens on Thursday, Greek riot police cordoned off an area around the ship to prevent several hundred protesters from approaching. Demonstrators held flares and waved Palestinian flags. https://www.defenddemocracy.press/we-cant-have-greece-become-a-playground-for-idf-soldiers-israeli-tourists-traveling-to-greek-islands-met-with-pro-palestine-protests/Israel Targets Yemen’s Capital With Massive Strikes Near Presidential Complex, Missile Bases https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/watch-israel-targets-yemens-capital-massive-strikes-near-presidential-complex-missile

ParticipantThe Lebanese government is captured by the US & Israel, corrupted: The crisis of disarming Hezbollah: Lebanon on the edge
The Lebanese government’s plan to disarm Hezbollah by year’s end is less a policy than a provocation. If pursued, it risks pushing Lebanon toward the very abyss it claims to avoid: civil war.
Prime Minister Nawaf Salam has instructed the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) to prepare a timetable for dismantling all non-state militias—including Hezbollah. The United States, long intent on curbing Hezbollah’s reach, is backing the effort with promises of reconstruction aid and normalised ties. Yet Hezbollah and its allies have rejected the plan outright. Ministers loyal to the movement have boycotted cabinet meetings, while Hezbollah itself has vowed to treat the proposal “as if it does not exist.” https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20250822-the-crisis-of-disarming-hezbollah-lebanon-on-the-edge/Yep: Iranian President Pezeshkian says without missile capabilities, Iran could face Gaza’s fate https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20250822-iranian-president-pezeshkian-says-without-missile-capabilities-iran-could-face-gazas-fate/

John Bolton Under Investigation for Violations of the Espionage Act
John Bolton sold his access, contacts and ability to influence policy to the highest bidder. In DC parlance they call that a “consultant.” When the consulting is contracted for a specific national interest, the title shifts to “lobbyist.” That was his job, and all of Washington DC knows it.
Washington DC operates on this business model; the entire system will be soft to criticize Bolton and many will likely defend him…
..While it is yet unknown which nation and which activity Bolton was likely engaged in, the highest probability centers around the deepest pockets, which would also put Bolton on the CIA radar.
With President Trump in the White House, there is a big market for the services of people like John Bolton who operate a specific militaristic mindset against the Trump administration.
NEW YORK TIMES – The information that provided the basis for the warrant to search John Bolton’s home on Friday was based on intelligence collected overseas by the C.I.A., according to people who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing criminal investigation.
John Ratcliffe, the C.I.A. director, provided Kash Patel, the F.B.I. director, with limited access to the intelligence. It involved the mishandling of classified material by Mr. Bolton, the people said.
The search of the home and office of Mr. Bolton, who was national security adviser during President Trump’s first term, was a major escalation of a long-running inquiry into whether he collected or leaked sensitive national security information, law enforcement officials said.
The nature of the intelligence collected overseas is not known. The F.B.I. obtained the search warrant after presenting evidence to a federal judge. Mr. Bolton’s office declined to comment.
The C.I.A. and F.B.I. regularly cooperate on counterterrorism investigations. It is unusual for the C.I.A. to so prominently provide information for a high-profile investigation of a former U.S. official. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/08/23/john-bolton-under-investigation-for-violations-of-the-espionage-act/#more-275271August 26, 2025 at 3:08 am #194556John Day
ParticipantBenny Johnson: FBI Official just told me the John Bolton Raid is about Bolton’s serial theft and publication of classified information that has gone on for years:
FBI Official: “It is widely known the Bolton mishandled and took classified information for use in his 2020 book, after he failed to get approval from the National Security Council for the publication of what they determined to be highly classified information. This raid of Bolton’s residence comes after years of investigation into this potentially criminal disclosure, which started in 2020, before being put on pause for political reasons. The Trump administration is committed to restoring integrity to the Justice department and ending the weaponization government. Our investigation will follow the evidence and ensure accountability.” https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/1958892107755896919The UK is at cross-purposes to American diplomatic efforts. Tulsi Gabbard Blocks Ukraine Intel Flow Even to Five Eyes Allies
https://english.pravda.ru/world/163822-us-intelligence-stops-sharing-ukraine-data-allies/Sundance, Outline #5 – The Full Spectrum Criminal Surveillance Conducted by The United States Government
Fusion-GPS gave them the justification they needed for a FISA warrant with the Steele Dossier. Ultimately that’s why the Steele Dossier was so important; without it, the Obama administration was naked with their NSA database abuse.
Investigating ‘Russiagate’, as dirty and unseemly as it was, takes you to a place where politics infected the DOJ/FBI and every participant carries plausible deniability. However, investigate the 2016 illegal surveillance of Donald Trump’s campaign via the NSA database and all of that activity can never be justified.
If you understand the distinction above, then you start to realize why John Solomon is focusing on Russiagate. Beware the person who picks up the flag at the front of the parade, for they are likely steering the crowd for a reason.
If DNI Tulsi Gabbard focuses on the known FBI surveillance of the GOP candidates in 2016, by focusing on how FBI contractors exploited access to the NSA database to conduct political opposition research, then suddenly the entire story takes on a simpler to understand context.
Declassify the Rosemary Collyer 99-page FISA report and outline the FBI contractors doing the surveillance.
Stop focusing so much attention on Russiagate, it’s the shiny thing fraught with plausible deniability. Focus instead on declassifying and releasing the real story of how the NSA database has been used to conduct political surveillance for over a decade.
Obama conducted full spectrum political surveillance and spying operations exploiting the NSA database from 2012 to 2016.
All republican candidates were under surveillance.
THAT is the BIG STORY that will shake up DC. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/08/24/outline-5-the-full-spectrum-criminal-surveillance-conducted-by-the-united-states-government/#more-275306 Escape Key, Beyond the Law – Introduction
Modern governance no longer depends on laws passed by parliaments. It no longer needs constitutions, elections, or democratic mandate.
The real architecture of power now operates through technical systems embedded in the infrastructure of everyday life.
Compliance is enforced not by police or courts, but by accreditation systems, financial plumbing, digital identity frameworks, audit requirements, data governance rules, and procurement contracts. Together, these create what could be considered the meta-constitution of indicators: a hidden operating system that translates measurement into mandate while bypassing democratic processes entirely.
This is not speculation. It is already here.
A company without the right accredited certification cannot win contracts.
A bank without the right ESG disclosures cannot access capital.
A supplier without the right audit assurances cannot participate in markets.
None of this requires legislation. None of it was ever voted on. Yet each mechanism governs more comprehensively than most democratic states.
The danger is not only in the architecture itself, but in the way it is described. https://escapekey.substack.com/p/beyond-the-law-introduction How Managers Are Using AI To Hire And Fire People
Stephen Engel, CEO of Sanative Recovery and Wellness, told The Epoch Times that he recently used the AI chatbot ChatGPT to assist with deciding whether to fire an employee.
He said that although AI didn’t make the final decision, its ability to handle volumes of data quickly allows managers to think more clearly and “step back from the emotion of the situation” and analyze situations more objectively.
“To me, that’s the real value of AI in this context. … It allowed me to think through the situation, weigh options more rationally, and ultimately decide on the best course of action,” Engel said.
“I also used ChatGPT afterward to help guide my thinking about what qualities and strengths to prioritize for my next hire. Again, not as a replacement for human judgment, but as a tool to focus my thinking.”
Some business owners use AI tools to identify employees who need help.
“Our AI voice simulations let new employees engage in realistic mock calls from day one. These interactions are scored automatically and paired with coaching opportunities. It’s a way to see quickly who’s progressing and who might need more support,” Lonnie Johnston, CEO of the training platform WizeCamel, told The Epoch Times.
“Our platform helps surface employees who are struggling early and tracks whether they are improving on an acceptable schedule.” https://www.zerohedge.com/ai/how-managers-are-using-ai-hire-and-fire-peopleAugust 26, 2025 at 3:10 am #194557John Day

ParticipantCamus: After a year of intensive research, Dr. William Makis presents the most critical graph of his career: the ivermectin dosing schedule for cancer.
According to Dr. Makis, for most cancers – including breast, colon, lung, pancreatic, renal, gastric, and leukemias – a starting dose of 1mg per kg of body weight per day is recommended. For a 60kg individual, this equates to 60mg daily: – Five 12mg pills – Or 6ml of liquid (approx. one teaspoon + 1ml) The evidence for efficacy is compelling and dose-dependent: – Dr. Shankara Chetty saw a prostate cancer patient’s PSA drop from 89 to 11 on 45mg/day. – A case from Dr. Tess Lawry showed CA125 (ovarian cancer marker) drop from 288 to 22 on just 0.2mg/kg. – A long-term Castro study on children with leukemia showed no side effects after 6 months at 1mg/kg. For aggressive cancers (pancreatic, brain), the blood-brain barrier may require a higher dose. https://x.com/newstart_2024/status/1959020908099584412 BREAKING: FDA Pulls Valneva Chikungunya Vaccine From Market Over “Serious Safety Concerns”
