A note on the 30-06 rifle. Having been a hunter for years I’ve seen the damage a thirty ot six will do. A two hundred yard shot isn’t a “sniper” only type shot. I’ve seen more than a few made at that distance plus from a standing position. The big tell is the on damage end. That calibre would pass right through leaving and exit hole you could put your hand in. The other option would be a full metal jacket leaving an exit hole about the same size as the entry. The bullet in either case would travel on for some distance.
How convenient the Kirk murder has knocked Fauci and Epstein off the tiny USSA attention span.
British Ambassador outPeter Mandelson, the British Ambassador to the United States, was sacked by Prime Minister Keir Starmer on September 11, 2025, due to his close ties with Jeffrey Epstein.
The decision was made after the release of emails and documents that revealed the depth and extent of Mandelson’s relationship with Epstein, which was not known at the time of his appointment.
The Prime Minister’s office stated that the emails showed that Mandelson’s relationship with Epstein was materially different from what was known at the time, and it was mindful of the victims of Epstein’s crimes.
Mandelson’s suggestion that Epstein’s first conviction was wrongful and should be challenged was also new information.
Trumptard got along great with Peter Mandelson, that’s why Queen Starmer put him in as UK ambassador to the USSA. The Euroturds wanted to shmooz the Donald.
Now Trump is meeting with Queen Starmer and the PEDO ‘king’ of England.

-
There were two school shootings last Wednesday.
In the first, a 22-year old man raised in a white Republican family and pickled in gaming culture shot Charlie Kirk. Utah Governor Spencer Cox, who admitted he prayed that the culprit would not be a member of his Mormon culture, claims Tyler Robinson has been radicalized by left culture, but thus far the only evidence he has presented is a claim that Tyler is in a relationship with his roommate, whom Cox describes as transitioning. Kash Patel’s latest Fox hit describes a message Robinson left that appears to reference Kirk’s hatred: “some hatred cannot be negotiated with.”
An hour later and one state away, 16-year old Desmond Holly shot up Evergreen High School, putting two of his classmates in the hospital before taking his own life. The ADL describes that Holly had an account on an online gore site where he had celebrated far right shootings and seemed to speak in advance of his attack.

General Kellogg is a phucking idiot
Butthurt Projection Gaslighter (BPG)
Change the word Russian to: Ukrainian
Kellogg’s claims and analysis
Kellogg said that when considering all Russian troops killed and wounded, the total manpower cost to Russia has been “well over a million”.
Ukraine’s losses are now pushing 1.7 million, they have no men leftKellogg has repeatedly called the scale of Russian losses “stunning” and comparable to World War II levels,
Ukraine is a cemetery with a flag masquerading as a country
Kellogg supports his assessment by pointing to Russia’s need for troops from North Korea and its reliance on older, “mothballed” military equipmentThe Russian industrial base is out producing the combined collective west and the USSA many, many times over.
Missed it by this much….
General Kellogg, the putz whispering in Trumptard’s ear for 7 months
The attack on Hamas in Qatar is the shocking crime, not the assassination of a single American. No surprise how the MSM bury any crime by the US/Israeli government. Jewish money owns the entire western media.
The Gaza Holocaust is even more shocking. It would have been stopped the first time Israel bombed a hospital, if the western media had done its job. Thanks to the media cover up, the genocide shows no signs of stopping. As much as the US/Israeli government, our media is to blame for this slaughter.
So when it comes to Patel going after 20 leftist loons, sure they could be guilty – go get them! However I know that if it was 20 Zionists behind the Kirk assassination that Patel would be covering up…not arresting.
Ultimately the people in a society who know they are above the law will commit crimes then commit greater crimes. From Soleimani to Qatar…no restraint.
Western society has a big problem.
“Donald Trump just went scorched earth!” …By arresting no one but one visibly guilty assassin on national TV. Yeah, I can see how with the total lack of arrests anywhere, thy earth shall be scorched and salted.
MacGregor, still on the talk circuit, unlike Rich. He says, “I don’t know anything that’s going on! I have no idea at all what Trump is thinking or doing! Nothing anywhere makes any sense.”
Yeah, I know. Soooo….maybe you want to ASK and FIND OUT, so you have IDEAS and know what you’re talking about first? You yourself say you know nothing. Nothing makes sense, because everything I think is going on, isn’t.
Yeah, guess what: Your pal Luongo DOES have an idea what’s going on that explains and predicts, at at the moment his model works. So maybe talk to him.
Yup, everything everywhere is stupid and bad. “Cannot understand tariffs (it’s a thing. Boomer shakes fist)” We also are gutted and need trade, we are militarily incapable and need manifacturing! What a retard that Trump is!!” –MacGregor
…Then…maybe try tariffs then? Just spitballing here. Works in every nation in history, every time it’s tried. But not this time and this nation to solve the problem you JUST named. Tariffs are a ADHD non-sequitur Trump made up one day, complete with a Doctoral Thesis on McKinley and late 19th century economic methods ‘cuz he’s a retard like that.
My GOD. Just ASK. And this is everywhere.
“I have NO IDEA what is going on!!! I must be an EXPERT! Quick, book me on CNN.”
“Prominent voices on the right are calling for her immediate firing, given this slippery term ‘hate speech’ when weaponized by the government will inevitably be used against conservatives in any future Democratic or left-leaning administration.”
Saw this online. “So now the Chuds are all into cancel culture and stopping speech. Show me any who aren’t.”
Uhhh… most of them. But “I don’t care, Margaret.” That is, 90% of you evil is done by trampling our good graces, so f—k off. Here you go though, and I’m glad to see it. But top and prominent voices. Now, stop CALLING it hate speech, thousands of examples are illegal and have been illegal since Hamilton was in office. So? They committed provable felonies, GO ARREST THEM. That’s all we’ve ever been saying.
And ZeroHedge is no better, headlining “Texas woman arrested for hate speech at funeral rally”. No. She was arrested for assault. You can’t ALSO assault people. That’s not free speech. You also can’t “harass” them, but that’s a word with a very squishy definition. Assault is relatively clear.
Destiny got banned (I feel dirty even referring to these people), and was Panda Sad. No income. Yeah jackass, DON’T CALL FOR POLITICAL ASSASSINATIONS. And widespread political violence. Like every day after having been warned for years. You can’t say “Go Do Thing.” In America the level is set very, very high and rightfully so, but it STILL isn’t high enough for them. They can’t resist transgressing because that makes them the victim. And you the baddie. Narcissism 101.
That said, I understand Bondi and them, Musk, taking this up. ALL F’ING DAY they put up with non-stop actionable death threats from this s—t. Stochastic terrorism. But you can’t. The long-established legal lines still exist, so be like Sgt Friday.
“I am guessing, given the statements by Stephen Miller yesterday about targeting violent cells, she means those who actually plan violence, which would not be about the speech but the conspiracy.”
Yes, my take too, and she’s infected by the non-stop panopticon mind-virus of the left and used their language for a second. Others on the Right do too sometimes. Don’t go nuts over it, but good lesson learned. Like Ramaswamy learning about H1B visas. Don’t.
“Trump Supports Designating Antifa A Terrorist Organization
Speaking of, you may not know but the U.S. does not designate domestics as terror cells because: free speech. And right to guns. But I also know they ARE designated, eg Hamas, so there is a level. Probably overseas money. Which is dead-true for Antifa, and provable. But how much? If UKIP donates $20 to MAGA does that make Turning Point terrorists? Details. How it is legally enacted. I wouldn’t, but don’t know what additional resources that brings to bear, all arcane, and what their internal structure looks like, why it’s hidden, etc. Antifa ARE in fact the definition and poster child of Color Revolution Terrorist network.
“The 71-year-old audience member who was arrested at Charlie Kirk’s UVU event says he told cops he shot Kirk to distract police so the real shooter could escape.”
Okay, well, you just blew your own cover up wide open. As this can NOT be some kid in furry ears, it now HAS to be a wide, deep, high-level conspiracy. Or was Tyler the mastermind paying/blackmailing this pedo to act out? No, not a chance. Makes me add that a week before Tyler’s apt was surrounded by out-of-state plates, the neighbors say. And they didn’t “like the look of” the people visiting. That’s less tangible, but if it looked like young gamers getting a keg in a college town, it wouldn’t have seemed odd to them.
“They don’t kill you because you’re a Nazi, they call you a Nazi so they can kill you.”
Pool was on this. So they say “We kill Nazis”. This was done at a woman’s bike race recently. Where they then said “Women who don’t want men racing are Nazis.” Right. So 1) We kill anyone who does Thing. 2) You are right now doing Thing. 3) Draw your own conclusions. But this is too complicated, they don’t mean what they said they meant, ackshully.
Then in good style, they both assaulted that woman for asking if men were in the race, stole her phone, and laughed. Threatening to kill her again.
1) We kill Nazis 2) Everyone who bugs me is a Nazi 3) So I kill them. Any questions? Do I stutter? What part of this is too complicated for you?
“Biden left you an FBI riddled with politics.”
Yes, but only since J Edgar. The first Director.
“Kash Patel just ENDED Senator Adam Schiff’s entire career in under two minutes.”
If you mean, “Did nothing and no one was arrested,” then yes. Same with “Trump on rampage” of purge and revenge, by which they mean, did nothing, arrested nobody, and obeyed all judges. …As Dictators do.
“FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino drops a bombshell on corrupt politicians by issuing a stern warning.”
Wow. Not only that, he sent a letter and formed a committee.
No, honestly this is all “Shaping the battlefield.” They need to sink in to the dumbest thick-heads that this stuff exists and is real, so don’t go nuts and believe things when we arrest them all. I don’t have the poll numbers like they do, but after years of slogging, believe the dial is finally turned.
Aside from FBI erasing 20 hard drives with a shrug, no one caring a few years ago, back then there WAS no Epstein, for 25 years, even as he was IN JAIL, FOR this crime. But it wasn’t real, ackshully. Now the normies are DEMANDING Epstein be released that what til last year wasn’t real at all.
Styx points that the two have flipped. Now Democratic base the ones demanding all release, after 4 years pointing at “Biden’s Shower Diary”. I don’t care, Margaret. Arrest as many as you want. But this is the “Shaping”. So they, Schiff, is arrested for Epstein and the Democrats riot over it because it’s not real and Trump is a dictator? Not really. That’s why you need to get here. And that’s frustrating.
“6 million people a year—and they felt they could afford insurance, they could buy a car, it was safe, homes were affordable, they could get married at an earlier age, they could rediscover traditional norms”
Reverse: This is EXACTLY what the Socialists openly say in all their papers. The idiot rube dumbass retarded workers won’t rise up and kill everyone like we want, so we have to MAKE them with raw tireless misery. …For their own good, of course. Cloward-Pivon. So…you think allowing 20M IN FOUR YEARS might be a gambit to overwhelm the systems and collapse them so we can destroy everything and I can be king? Don’t ask me: THEY are the ones who SAID this was the plan.
Meanwhile if workers are happy and black guys are getting record jobs under Trump 2016-2020, who wins? Black families? This must be stopped.
So they say they want Thing. Write it, date it with their names. Then tirelessly do Thing they said, without variation. Then Thing happens. But it’s all an accident and not intended. Like all the Kirk comments, there is nothing but Individuals, no Trend. Only Trees, no Forest. Antifa doesn’t exist ackshully, it’s just an Idea, an illusion in your mind.
So obviously the young kids vote for: Thing.
“• Charlie Kirk Murder Investigation Expands (Margolis)
This is a problem since their language has no basis to begin with. It is all irony and hyperbole, jokes, lies with no basis. It’s FEMALE. It’s raw passive-aggressive power that is always deniable. But that means they never tell the truth in any 24h/365 period if they can at all help it. Then whenever there’s a gap, they ACT, and say “Oops, that was real tho”. Then go right back to nihilistically “Joking” about killing everyone.
Great. However, IF you can be arsed, the Law doesn’t care. It doesn’t care what you MEANT, if you made specific, actionable threats and took steps to execute them, that’s a crime. Sorry. Maybe you thought all law, all government, all society would be baffled by your bullshit, but no. We were just being nice. Surprise!

Maybe “For Cause” is not committing open, provable Grand Larceny fraud? I mean the bar isn’t that high here. Since all Judges and politicians also defraud everyone they meet, this all seems normal to them.
““The two most powerful vested interests in America are the US military/security complex and the Israel Lobby.”
Everyone’s plan here is he’s not doing fast ENOUGH. With every rat-mole judge in the whole judiciary popping up and emptying the mag on him daily. No. He ALSO has to take on both of these power-centers, head on, or every supporter will stab him in the back and run away crying like a little girl.
Because that’s good tactics and clever strategy like that, and it’s sooper-dooper complicated 11D chess to see it.
This article JUST SAID SO. Can we call that problem consensus reality now?
Nope. I want a Pony. I’m going to sit on my couch and complain good and hard until I get it.
““..the Qatari capital had been used as a key venue for peace talks between West Jerusalem and Hamas.”

““..So far Trump has not been willing. He could simply cut off the weapons and money flows to the Zelensky government if he wanted to – but he’s not even threatening to at this point.”
Meanwhile, back in reality, he ALREADY cut off all the money, very publicly, although some pre-purchases etc were delivered, as the law is like that. Then Galloway — a Trump hater — reports he is NOT delivering.
So again, he TOTALLY is, 100%, and TOTALLY is NOT 99%. Pick whichever one allows you to HATE. That’s the only real goal here. Which way allows me to hate Trump more? Meanwhile he’s the only guy done anything in 30 years.
If you wonder why Americans don’t do anything, this is why. YOU will shoot at them non-stop, all day, for trying. All Black-Pill, all the time, or as we used to call them: Traitors. If Musk creates a successful heavy-lift rocket in record time. HATE. If evil is exposed. HATE. If wars are stopped, troops brought home. HATE. Any of you stopped to think which side you’re actually on?
Oh he removed 90% of them, but there are still 2k in Syria he can’t get a rebel Congress and a mass-assassinating CIA to remove, so IMPEACH. Yeah, very schmartz there. Good thinking. Glad we had this productive talk.

30-06. Yes, it’s a possible shot by some dummy who has a lot of hunter practice. And he doubtless wasn’t aiming for the neck, so in a sense, he missed. Elevation problems, probably, not range problems. And he wouldn’t pick rounds, and he proved there was no need, so no shock it would be FMJ and pass through.
Now, Patel looks like he ate a cat and goes on TV saying “33” 100 times. “33 hours to catch him”. You didn’t catch him at all, you idiot: his father turned him in. And no one uses that, it would be “A day” “24 hours”. And WHO is this signal for? Like, anybody doesn’t know, needs to know? Who are the parties this code is coming FROM and TO? So bored I don’t care, but Patel in play is the point. And it makes him uncomfortable, which is good. Means he’s not naturally like this.
CK:
It appears the FBI is involved in the CK shooting to protect the deep state.
The FBI is clearly steering the whole CK investigation away from what appears to be the real close up shooter using a tiny palm gun by a security guard standing just 10 to 15 feet away on CK’s left side.
Notice no 30 -06 rifle bullet ballistic information!
A 30 – 06 does a lot of damage and would have sent CK flying backwards, not falling left sideways.Robinson probably fired a blank? to make the noise needed to cover for the real problem killer’s palm pistol shot.
Tent awning roof likely hid top half of CK body from Robinson.
Why drop gun in bush except to be found later by FBI?
Robinson is just like Butler’s supposed CIA family’s son being the so càlled shooter.
Then 71 year old Zinn who conviently has been at 4 crisis events!Just doesn’t pass the smell test.
It is more important for the media narrative to be used to attack leftists than the real truth!
More lies from DoJ and FBI, just like Butler, all over again, to protect deep state!
The term “economically viable” refers to the ability of a project or activity to generate sufficient financial returns to cover its costs and remain sustainable over time.
It is crucial for determining whether a project can be pursued and is worth the investment.
In essence, something is considered economically viable if it can financially support itself, ensuring that revenues exceed expenditures.people who have some faith and some vision of being economically viable,

The Western World is ruled by vested interests whose campaign contributions determine policy.
When Putin and Lavrov negotiate with Washington officials, they are not negotiating with a government.
They are negotiating with representatives of the private interests whose money places Representatives, Senators, and Presidents in office.
The two most powerful vested interests in America are the US military/security complex and the Israel Lobby.

This autonomious sentry sniper system for the Korean DMZ would work: SGE-A1
The SGR-A1 is a type of autonomous sentry gun that was jointly developed by Samsung Techwin (now Hanwha Aerospace) and Korea University to assist South Korean troops in the Korean Demilitarized Zone. It is widely considered as the first unit of its kind to have an integrated system that includes surveillance, tracking, firing, and voice recognition.[1][2] While units of the SGR-A1 have been reportedly deployed, their number is unknown due to the project being “highly classified”.
The Samsung SGR-A1 project started with an initial investment by the South Korean government in 2003 and was developed by four institutions led primarily by Hanwha Techwin and Korea University. With prototypes produced in 2006, the system was designed to replace human-oriented guarding along the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) and to provide the “perfect guard operation”…
..Many of the Samsung SGR-A1’s features resemble the standard sentry gun and similar automated stationary weapons like the Super aEgis II and the Israeli Sentry Tech systems. The system, costing approximately $200,000 (227 million won), includes an uncooled infrared thermographic camera for detection, a weapons interface that allows for mounted weapons, and a combination of an IR illuminator and a laser rangefinder to track and follow targets. It also includes a digital video recorder which captures footage for up to 60 days and three other cameras used separately for surveillance, tracking and zoom.
The Samsung SGR-A1 presumes any person entering the DMZ is an enemy and, upon detection, will attempt to identify the target through voice recognition. If a proper access code is not provided within a short amount of time, the system can choose between sounding an alarm, firing rubber bullets or engaging the target with other weapons. The system can also be overridden by an operator, who can also communicate via built-in microphone and audio system…
..A human-in-the-loop (HITL) system, if applied to the Samsung SGR-A1, would mean the weapon must wait for commands from a human operator before acting upon its targets. This contrasts with a human over the loop (HOTL) system, which would allow the Samsung SGR-A1 to autonomously engage targets while allowing for human intervention to stop it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SGR-A1 Israel deployes such a robo-sniper system in Gaza in 2007. IDF deploys Sentry Tech on Gaza border, May 2007
The Israel Defense Force (IDF) has started to deploy Rafael Armament Development Authority Sentry Tech remotely operated pre-positioned sensor-to-shooter weapon stations along Israel’ border with the Gaza Strip. The system enables camera operators located in rear-located command, control communications, computers and intelligence (C41) centers to engage border infiltrators using a remote-controlled weapon station (RCWS). The system is envisaged to reduce personnel deployment, shorten response time and augment surveillance/intelligence gathering capabilities along the border in synchronization with other security and intelligence sensors. Rafael is currently completing the development of another Sentry Tech variant, which will include long-range anti-tank guided missiles that will enable C41 centers to launch strikes on distant targets. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/291483334_IDF_deploys_Sentry_Tech_on_Gaza_border#:~:text=Abstract Wikipedia : Dozens of people have been shot with the Sentry Tech system. The first reported killing of an individual appears to have taken place during Operation Cast Lead in December 2008.[3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentry_gun#Super_aEgis_II

Putting It Together https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/putting-it-together
Surplus Energy Economics, Putting it together, part one – HOW THE ECONOMY REALLY WORKS
Debts and quasi-debts are escalating, and the financial system looks increasingly fragile.
Politics, both domestic and international, has been degenerating into worsening conflicts over scarce and diminishing economic resources.
The only way to navigate turbulent times is to ‘know how things work’, and apply that knowledge to situations and cases.
Reflecting the urgency demanded by accelerating deterioration, this essay examines the fundamentals of economics, money and prosperity, explaining why everything is ultimately traceable to energy…
..It was Warren Buffett who put it best – “The way I see it is that my money represents an enormous number of claim checks on society. It is like I have these little pieces of paper that I can turn into consumption” …
..Money, in short, is an exercisable claim on physical products and services. Importantly, money exists both as a flow of claims exercised in the present and as a stock of claims set aside for exercise in the future, though its central claim characteristic is the same in both cases…
..We can create money at will, but we do not have a comparable ability to conjure infinite material supply…
..This understanding points towards an absolute need to think conceptually in terms of two economies. One of these is the “real” economy of material products and services. The other is the parallel “financial” economy of money, transactions and credit...
..In the physical economy, energy is indispensable for making goods and services available to society. This is done by using energy to convert raw materials into products, artefacts and infrastructures.
This productive process has a thermal counterpart – whenever energy is used to convert raw materials into products, so energy is always converted from a dense to a diffuse form. The economy is thus a productive-dissipative system…
..The concepts of money as claim, energy causality, the two economies and the productive-dissipative equation need one further addition. This reflects the simple fact that energy is never “free”. Energy cannot be put to use without energy supply infrastructures, and these, being material, cannot be created, operated, maintained or replaced without using energy.
Accordingly, “whenever energy is accessed for our use, some of this energy is always consumed in the access process, becoming unavailable for any other economic purpose”.
If, as here, we call this “consumed in access” component the Energy Cost of Energy, we arrive at the principle of ECoE... If we had to use 100 units of energy (or more) to put 100 units of energy to use, the economy would not exist…
..Globally, trend ECoEs have long been on a relentlessly upwards trajectory, rising from 2.0% of energy used in 1980 to 11.3% now (see Fig. 1A). Fossil fuel depletion – the natural tendency to use lowest-cost resources first, and leave costlier alternatives for later – has been the primary driver of rises in ECoEs...
..Renewables cannot be regarded as like-for-like successors for fossil fuels. They can’t be built, operated, maintained or replaced without the use of legacy energy from oil, natural gas and coal, which ties their own ECoEs to those of fossil fuels.
Wind and solar power have lesser specific densities than carbon fuels, although difficulties with portability and difficulty of storage, rather than simple intermittency and low energy-mass density, are the critical drawbacks with renewable energy systems.
Neither is it at all clear than any form of electricity is suited to take over the economic ‘heavy lifting’ currently undertaken by fossil fuels…
..By the mid-1990s, rising ECoEs had created an economic phenomenon known at the time as “secular stagnation”. Our attempts to counter this trend by flooding the economy with debt (“credit adventurism”) led directly to the global financial crisis of 2008-09. This in turn led on to the “monetary adventurism” of QE, ZIRP and NIRP…
..The postulated saviours of the ‘business as usual’ of prosperity growth are monetary stimulus and technological innovation. But neither can free us from the consequences of a maturing and deteriorating fossil fuel energy system...
..It is no exaggeration to state that we have entered an era of extreme and worsening uncertainty and instability.
We can only navigate this turbulence if we recognise that every economic and related trend is ultimately traceable to energy. https://surplusenergyeconomics.wordpress.com/2025/09/15/310-putting-it-together-part-one/ The Honest Sorcerer, The End Of The Road – The point beyond which progress or economic survival cannot continue
Western economies have reached an impasse. An inflection point, beyond which further increases in debt levels are no longer feasible — despite a slowing economy screaming for more investment. The onset of a long, protracted economic decline now seems to be inevitable, even to those who follow official GDP metrics alone. But what will this inflection from eight decades of growth into decline bring about? More inflation? Or perhaps a 1930’s style deflationary crisis, bringing about a persistent decline in both price and economic output levels due to a lack of demand? …
..Whatever will be the proximate cause, this coming banking and debt crisis can — and in my opinion most likely will — trigger a global deflationary crisis. Just like the famous Wall Street crash of 1929 did… In the meantime both the velocity of money and copper to gold ratios have now fallen to their corresponding historic lows — just like a century ago — indicating a complete lack of confidence in economic recovery. ‘But hey, at least the stock market’s doing fine!’ https://thehonestsorcerer.substack.com/p/the-end-of-the-road Beginning of Panic Rate Cut Cycle – Ed Dowd
Dowd says, “Trump has to deal with a turd of a disaster.” On the phony jobs number alone, Dowd says, “You could say this is statistical fraud or bureaucratic incompetence. Let’s say it’s both. It such an egregious 7 standard deviation. 3.4 standard deviation is the chance of lightning hitting you at least once in your lifetime. It’s not likely. 7 deviation is suggestive of fraud–full stop.”
All the frauds propping up the Biden economy isn’t causing inflation now–just the opposite. Dowd says, “The housing market is rolling over because people can’t afford them. What was keeping a floor in the housing market were rents by the illegal aliens. That’s all going the wrong way. Trump is deporting people, and we closed down the border. Our housing report that we put out a month ago . . . all the indicators are rolling over, and we are going to have a housing recession. We are going to see inflation go lower because housing is 36% of the economy. We expect to see a sub 2% print on inflation.”
What about the Fed cutting interest rates next week? Dowd says, “They cut rates in the Great Financial Crisis starting in 2007. Our stock market did not bottom until 2009. This is the beginning of what I think is the ‘panic rate cut cycle.’ We are going to see the Fed cutting rates all the way down into this asset deflation that we see coming in this panic rate cut cycle. Cutting into slowing growth does not cause assets to reinflate. They are behind the curve, and they are going to be cutting all the way down as we deflate.”
Dowd still likes gold and says his clients are acquiring gold and land, not crypto. He also says there are big problems coming in the not-so-distant future from China and Europe. Dowd says his forecast of the world going into a “very deep recession” will come true soon. https://usawatchdog.com/beginning-of-panic-rate-cut-cycle-ed-dowd/ Ed Dowd on X: “What we have in this country is a class problem. We have, you know, 1% of global wealth is the 1% of the population of the globe owns 50% of the global wealth. So this is a class issue. It’s been going on for a long time, since the great financial crisis and since 2000. And we have, And this is not just a US Problem. This is a global problem.
“And when we get to these types of situations they’re cured one of two ways. The elites pay an existential price and or the system collapses and they’re forced to share the wealth again. So this is how it’s done. “I’m not suggesting it’s imminent, but this is why you’re seeing the rise of populism, and this is also why you’re seeing the rise of division. Because, the way you control the many is you make the many hate each other. You make the pitchfork guy look at the torch guy and say, hey, the torch guys are trying to take our pitchforks. And that’s what’s going on today. We got all this finger pointing. This is a class issue. It’s not a black, white, Hispanic, left, right, Muslim. This is a class issue.” https://x.com/SenseReceptor/status/1967358187008589917Like Ed Dowd said. Fear your neighbors: Threats from East used to mask Western Europe’s catastrophic condition — diplomat

100,000, 150,000, 500,000, a million, three million? An estimate of the size of the ‘Unite the Kingdom’ rally in central London on Saturday is evidently challenging, perhaps impossible… Suffice to say the numbers who were there, and those that would have liked to have been there, were extraordinary – historic even – and far surpassed the expectations of the police or the mainstream media. A better question might be: what does it all mean?…
..One take-away message from the day is that the authorities underestimated the breadth and depth of feeling of people in UK who oppose the direction the country seems to be taking. The rally was called ‘Unite the Kingdom’ and the proliferation of Union Jacks, flags of St George, Saltires and Welsh Dragons evidenced the UK-wide appeal of this event – not just how frustrated people feel, but a renewed spirit of Unionism.
..The number of crosses and placards proclaiming Jesus Christ our saviour was, to me at least, surprising. “Jesus is King” was chanted from the stage…
..The mood, if it can be summarised, was not angry or aggressive, just defiant, determined and resolutely patriotic. I would summarise it thus: “We are British and proud of it. We quite like our little island and don’t want it transformed. We are sick of being smeared and caricatured, censored and silenced.” https://dailysceptic.org/2025/09/15/what-i-saw-at-the-unite-the-kingdom-rally/ Rachel Marsden, ‘Unite the Kingdom’ stands for a good cause, but there’s an elephant in the room

One of the doctors, US trauma surgeon Feroze Sidhwa, recalled his first day at the European Hospital in Gaza in March 2024, where he found four boys under 10 with identical head wounds within 48 hours, according to the report.
“How is it possible that here in this small hospital, within 48 hours, four children have come in who were shot in the head?” he told the paper. Over the following 13 days, he encountered nine more children with similar wounds.
Sidhwa later met a colleague who confirmed seeing the same injuries “almost every day” in another hospital. “That was the moment I decided: I have to find out what is happening here,” he said.
Doctors interviewed stressed that such injuries were unlikely to be accidental. Forensic experts consulted by the newspaper said the uniform pattern suggested aimed fire, possibly by snipers or drones.

Tyler Robinson, the suspect arrested for the Sept. 10 assassination of the conservative Christian influencer at Utah Valley University, also left a note indicating that he expressed that he had an opportunity to kill Kirk, Patel said.
In a Sept. 15 interview with Fox News, Patel said, “I can report today that the DNA hits from the towel that was wrapped around the firearm and the DNA on the screwdriver are positively processed for the suspect in custody.”
Patel also referred to reports of an alleged note left behind by Robinson, saying that the suspect wrote that he had the “opportunity to take out” Kirk and wrote, “I’m going to take it.” That message was written before the Sept. 10 shooting, he added.

This autonomious sentry sniper system for the Korean DMZ would work: SGE-A1
The SGR-A1 is a type of autonomous sentry gun that was jointly developed by Samsung Techwin (now Hanwha Aerospace) and Korea University to assist South Korean troops in the Korean Demilitarized Zone. It is widely considered as the first unit of its kind to have an integrated system that includes surveillance, tracking, firing, and voice recognition.[1][2] While units of the SGR-A1 have been reportedly deployed, their number is unknown due to the project being “highly classified”.
The Samsung SGR-A1 project started with an initial investment by the South Korean government in 2003 and was developed by four institutions led primarily by Hanwha Techwin and Korea University. With prototypes produced in 2006, the system was designed to replace human-oriented guarding along the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) and to provide the “perfect guard operation”…
..Many of the Samsung SGR-A1’s features resemble the standard sentry gun and similar automated stationary weapons like the Super aEgis II and the Israeli Sentry Tech systems. The system, costing approximately $200,000 (227 million won), includes an uncooled infrared thermographic camera for detection, a weapons interface that allows for mounted weapons, and a combination of an IR illuminator and a laser rangefinder to track and follow targets. It also includes a digital video recorder which captures footage for up to 60 days and three other cameras used separately for surveillance, tracking and zoom.
The Samsung SGR-A1 presumes any person entering the DMZ is an enemy and, upon detection, will attempt to identify the target through voice recognition. If a proper access code is not provided within a short amount of time, the system can choose between sounding an alarm, firing rubber bullets or engaging the target with other weapons. The system can also be overridden by an operator, who can also communicate via built-in microphone and audio system…
..A human-in-the-loop (HITL) system, if applied to the Samsung SGR-A1, would mean the weapon must wait for commands from a human operator before acting upon its targets. This contrasts with a human over the loop (HOTL) system, which would allow the Samsung SGR-A1 to autonomously engage targets while allowing for human intervention to stop it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SGR-A1 Israel deployes such a robo-sniper system in Gaza in 2007. IDF deploys Sentry Tech on Gaza border, May 2007
The Israel Defense Force (IDF) has started to deploy Rafael Armament Development Authority Sentry Tech remotely operated pre-positioned sensor-to-shooter weapon stations along Israel’ border with the Gaza Strip. The system enables camera operators located in rear-located command, control communications, computers and intelligence (C41) centers to engage border infiltrators using a remote-controlled weapon station (RCWS). The system is envisaged to reduce personnel deployment, shorten response time and augment surveillance/intelligence gathering capabilities along the border in synchronization with other security and intelligence sensors. Rafael is currently completing the development of another Sentry Tech variant, which will include long-range anti-tank guided missiles that will enable C41 centers to launch strikes on distant targets. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/291483334_IDF_deploys_Sentry_Tech_on_Gaza_border#:~:text=Abstract Wikipedia : Dozens of people have been shot with the Sentry Tech system.

Top German football club to question player over sympathy for Charlie Kirk – media
Borussia Dortmund’s midfielder Felix Nmecha has drawn criticism on social media for expressing his condolences to the murdered activist’s family
On Friday, Nmecha posted a black-and-white photo of Kirk in his Instagram stories with a caption: “Rest in peace with the Lord.” The post reportedly drew largely negative reactions on social media.
The footballer then changed the caption, focusing on Kirk’s family. “Celebrating the murder of a husband and a father of two, a man who peacefully stood up for his beliefs and values, is really evil and shows how much we really need Jesus Christ,” Nmecha wrote in a follow-up post…
..The German SID sports news outlet reported on Friday that the club would review the posts and seek a dialogue with the player, adding that no punishment was planned for him.
However, German tabloid Bild noted the same day that Nmecha’s contract has an “Instagram clause” which states that he could face millions of dollars in penalties for social media posts violating the club’s values. https://swentr.site/news/624696-german-football-sympathy-charlie-kirk/ Bill Ackman Allegedly Ambushed Charlie Kirk Over Israel Criticism Weeks Before Assassination
Those in the independent alternative media landscape close to Kirk memorialized their slain friend and colleague, and in doing so, many had pointed to a stark development in the progression of his political ideology. They shed light upon how Kirk, whose political activism has included devout support for the State of Israel and Jewish people, began to contemplate a new perspective on Israel’s influence over the United States. According to a report from The Grayzone, that development of Kirk’s ideology led to tremendous conflict with powerful Zionist figures shaping US politics. The Grayzone report illustrated the scale of that tension by revealing that pro-Israel billionaire Bill Ackman ambushed Kirk in what the publication describes as an “intervention” over the conservative activist’s growing criticism of Israeli influence in Washington. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2025-09-16/bill-ackman-allegedly-ambushed-charlie-kirk-over-his-criticism-israel-weeks-his Not just the UK: The anti-immigration AfD party is once again achieving record results in eastern Germany – The AfD continues to surge higher in its eastern strongholds https://rmx.news/article/the-anti-immigration-afd-party-is-once-again-achieving-record-results-in-eastern-germany/

Macron admitted NATO behind Ukraine conflict – Sachs
The French president privately said the US-led military bloc instigated the crisis, according to the economist https://swentr.site/russia/624687-sachs-macron-nato-ukraine/ Moon of Alabama, Ukraine – As ‘Security Guarantees’ Get Buried Other Stupid Ideas Emerge
Two weeks ago the Foreign Minister of Poland Radosław Sikorski visited Washington and was proud to be included in talks about ‘security guarantees’ for Ukraine. His ministry announced:
Secretary of State Rubio declared that Poland will be involved in arrangements to reliably provide Ukraine with future security guarantees. He said that the United States aims to guarantee a lasting peace in Ukraine.
But now Sikorski is, rightfully one must say, doubting the usefulness of any ‘security guarantees’:
The security guarantees currently being discussed for Ukraine are unlikely to work in the event of a new invasion, since there are no hunters in the West to fight with Russia. This was stated by Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski.
“If we provide Ukraine with security guarantees, we say that we can start a war against Russia. And I don’t think it’s convincing that there is trust in it. Anyone who wants to fight with Russia can start it right now. But I don’t see any takers,” Sikorsky said.
There will never be any takers. Can we now finally bury that ‘security guarantee’ nonsense? https://www.moonofalabama.org/2025/09/ukraine-as-security-guarantees-get-buried-other-stupid-ideas-emerge.html#moreRussia Deploys Iskander Missiles in Kaliningrad (VIDEO), Putting NATO Capitals From Warsaw to Berlin in Range https://gospanews.net/en/2025/09/14/russia-deploys-iskander-missiles-in-kaliningrad-putting-nato-capitals-from-warsaw-to-berlin-in-range/
