[See the full post at: Debt Rattle September 19 2026]“Minnesota’s Anti-ICE Relief Fund Shut Down Due To Rampant Fraud
The FBI previously dismantled a $250 million fraud scheme involving the nonprofit Feeding Our Future…Yesterday, 4 guys, $1M+ dollars. Here a quarter of a BILLION dollars. You know this adds up to real money. Like $5k/person, or we have enough money already to serve all the poor in America. Remember: all the money Omar steals for Learing Centers is money taken from some poor kid on a farm in the styx. How much can a BILLION do for homelessness in the state? Or lower property taxes for Millennials with kids?
“China’s Stealth Fighters Take Shape As Great Powers Risk Sliding From Economic War Into Shooting War
Why would this ever happen? What possible flash points do we even have? A: None. This is all ginned up in the Bannon wing. No war in Russia? That’s fine: here’s your war in China. Note nothing on North Korea which for a lifetime was set up as being the flashpoint and bellus of that war. Not a peep. So I guess like Ukraine, Trump talked to them 1st time around and it’s still settled?
How Dare He Have Peace! This Aggression against War will not stand!
In regular Jingoistic, thought-free action: “Against a backdrop of resource nationalism, Beijing surrounding Taiwan…”
What would be the opposite of that, the norm? Resource INTERNATIONALISM? i.e. “Globalism”? Ohhhhh, all clear now, thanks ZeroHedge. We see what team now. “The Internationale”, World Brotherhood of Workers, no borders n’ stuff. “Bejing surrounding Taiwan.” 1) It’s the CHINA Sea, ships are allowed there. 2) The U.S. among many nations have an official, legal “One China” policy where Taiwan is legally and officially China. So.
This is about the J-36 Gen6 fighter “the J-36 may embody a Chinese interpretation of future aerial warfare: extreme range, a large weapons load, and comprehensive sensors for long-range A2/AD missions as either an interceptor or a deep-penetration fighter aircraft.
We have exactly the same thing. Since they lifted it from our patent book, I don’t remember how far back when. Hillary’s servers, who knows. I exaggerate?
Biden judges literally meeting with known CCP spy front. No surprise:
Oh wait: CONGRESSMEN, Republican Congressmen, McConnell as expected whose wife is his CCP handler, SUPREME COURT JUSTICES, Brown, and hundreds and hundreds of others. It took 70 pages just to get through the list of an FBI- KNOWN CCP spy front.
You think they don’t have one of these for Raytheon, Pentagon parties? Sure.
Anyway, if China is showing it, they already have it, as do we, ours comes with a flock of drones, and it erases the refueling liability: It literally can sip fuel and fly to China from around the world. As one should, I don’t know what to do about it, but like a B1 that can fly to China with a nuke, slip in undetected. We don’t need ships, per se. We have Jewish Space Lasers. And China can probably do this to us. No different than the MAD ICBM era.
“Newsom Whips Out Wiener’s Dystopian “AI Kill Switch” Bill He Vetoed In 2024
May have found out a core reason for AI panic, not obvious: It would outlaw HOME versions of AI. Of course. Maybe you didn’t know, but you can download Claw on like a teeny home array no larger than a old PC and it does pretty okay open source. BUT THEN THEY CAN’T SPY. And also not monetize and control. Cleetus having one in his trailer in the Ozarks sure sounds like it should be outlawed. He’ll “End all human life by Friday” if he’s not controlled. …Say a bunch of the world’s worst control freaks. …Who own the 1 million people-killing robots Cleetus doesn’t. We are the Eloi, picked off, Musk remains the Morlocks, feeding on us. If we had AI as well, we’d mitigate this with our own robot armies or whatever-unthinkable-response like they thought the Internet would control us, but we used it to reveal them and escape.
“Trump Signs Memo To Remove Canadian Goods From US Federal Procurement
Again, fatal. Where is Canada going to shift sales? Windsor Exports to China? How long to get back on those purchaser lists? Well, looks like 2 ½ years at a minimum. They don’t have the slack to endure this, and 40% of all Canadian corporations know it and are setting up here. I didn’t make that. I told you not to.
No wonder Carney is Trump’s best friend. Look deeper: again, this happened in Ukraine in the many years BEFORE the war, where all other Eastern Bloc nations went up and Ukraine went Down.
“Trump Signs Sweeping Russia Sanctions Bill Into Law, Shrugging Off Kremlin
Moscow: puts possibility of Ukraine peace further away than ever.I mean, yes, but what’s he going to do in an election, veto it? Congress knows this, that’s why they waited two years until now. The timing is all Congress is still London and Globalists. At the same time: Hey wait, sanctions never work! You just told Bessant Yesterday! So stop doing it to Iran you fool, since it has no effect! Which is why we’re — Congress, side of Progressives, Establishment, Media – are doing it to Russia!
Want to cross-check? DID the Steven Segal package of Russian sanctions bring them to their knees? A: No, it was annoying and had no effect. Probably made them stronger (thanks!) but EUROPE BUYING ALL THEIR OIL at very high prices had even more effect.
In other news, Tariffs also have no effect, actually cost money! That’s why Europe, China, Canada, do them to us, because they’re money-losers. Look guys, I’m VERY. TIRED. of this.
“No Benefits: Why Most Americans Hate The Idea Of AI Data Centers
Corporations and technocrats wax philosophical about a Utopian future,Everyone hates their guts with good reason: everywhere they’ve acted they’ve made hell on earth. It matches the evil and darkness in their minds.
Today’s odd thought is brought to you by Gog and Magog. Who sweep in from the North into Israel. Now sadly, since everyone just “Makes S—t Up” but we couldn’t tell that back when paper books were published, this was NOT Russia like it was when I was a kid. That was everywhere in books from eg, the 1970s. I note this eschatology since the Globalists had this all figured out and set up worldwide, everyone believing it: plucky Israel, Iran, the 12th Imam, the AntiChrist, the Pope, all that. All set up and ready to pop in a big nuclear world war. Millions, perhaps billions believed it.
However, there aren’t even any CHRISTIANS remaining. No one believes in the Pope, the Vatican church, not even Catholics. There’s no buy-in to Israel, heck, as far as I can tell, even Muslim eschatology end-times stuff is cold. This is bad for the globalists since it took a ton of work to set up fake Jewish purges in Romania, force them into a Roths nation-state they weren’t interested in, create Scofield Bibles and Billy Grahams. Generations’ work. All gone. Fizzle. An insurance Plan never collected.
But “Gog and Magog” at that time was “Russia” the “Rus”. Obviously. Our big baddie was the USSR. The only place big enough in the north to go to the military base at Har Meggedo in Israel. But there’s no USSR. In fact, Russia kinda’ can’t get down there as their border is with Armenia, and the other half is blocked with Ukraine. Only a tiny slice to be anywhere near accessible.
Why do I bring this up? A: Because “Gog and Magog” was never a mystery at all, and it was never Russia: There was no “Rus” until Vikings called them that in like 12th century or something, a thousand years later. “Gog and Magog” can be cross-checked with their lineage, how Biblical people did things, and they are Jasher IIRC, from Noah. That ‘family’ is in Lydia, Anatolia. All the other references are there. The Black Sea referred is there. The “Island people” (Greece) are there. If you have 12 dim clues and all 12 say “In the library with the rope”, guess what?
So apparently this Anatolia place, this “Turkey”, gets all armed up with Europe’s largest army and goes down and kicks Israel’s ass? Hahahaha! Under what conditions would THAT ever happen!?! Oh wait: you say Turkey ALREADY HAS the largest army in NATO, largest in the region, and indeed one of the largest in the world? And they ALREADY effectively borders Israel now? And Israel and Turkey are getting very pissed off at each other over Israel’s actions, not least of which with Muslim Iran? And Israel is so overextended, they’re likely to collapse in themselves?
Well ain’t that odd?
Btw, there are (semi-modern) prophesies similarly to those “Island People” similarly attacked by Turkey, who surprisingly can endure a terrible onslaught and are not erased. Considering the imbalance in their power and populations, this is indeed a miracle. Also such prophets up to Serbia.
We are witnessing a structural shift in how global power, energy, and money operate.
Across macro markets, energy bottlenecks, banking policy, AI regulation, and geopolitical conflicts, the physical and digital rails of the global economy are being systematically rewired. The Financial Industrial Complex (FIC), Military Industrial Complex (MIC), and Technical Industrial Complex (TIC) are asserting control over new digital infrastructure, even as traditional fiat architecture comes under immense fiscal pressure.
To navigate these changes, we must look past the media narrative, follow the money, and understand how individual sovereignty can be preserved as programmable control grids emerge. Today’s broadcast brings these pieces together into a unified framework.
South Korea just said NO to Donald Trump. 🇰🇷🚫
On Friday, September 18, 2026, South Korean President Lee Jae Myung stood before cameras at the Blue House in Seoul and made it official: South Korea will NOT send troops or military assets to join the US-led war against Iran.”There won’t be deployment that would involve or enter war.
I can tell you that very clearly.””We won’t deploy military assets in any form to that end.”For weeks, President Trump publicly pressured Seoul, saying he asked Lee to “give us a little hand” with Iran and the Strait of Hormuz — and Lee said “No thanks.” Washington then scaled back joint US–South Korea military drills. Still, Seoul held the line.⚓
WHAT SOUTH KOREA WILL DO: Lee said Seoul may expand the mission of its Cheonghae naval unit (currently fighting piracy off Somalia) — but ONLY to protect Korean oil tankers, commercial ships, and citizens. No combat. No war mission.🔥
WHY THIS MATTERS:- A 70-year US ally publicly refusing Trump’s war request- The Strait of Hormuz crisis is hitting oil and fuel prices worldwide — Asia, Mexico, the US- South Korea remembers the Iraq War backlash of 2003—Lee is also pushing Trump toward dialogue with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un
🎵 THIS SONG:”Thank You, Seoul” is an original spoken-word anthem thanking South Korea for choosing peace. It stands with civilians — Iranian, Korean, and American alike — not with any army.
No hate. No violence. Just gratitude for a nation that said “we will not go in.”📰
SOURCES: Reuters, The New York Times, UPI, The Guardian, Yonhap, Korea Times, Al Jazeera, Nikkei Asia.
Today:
“Who is running our countries? Certainly not our politicians.”Sure, you know by looking at them, Macron and Merz, they’ve never run anything in their lives, except been run gay-train on. But this is the Euro Model: there IS no government. No one elected. No one responsible. AT ALL. An NGO, “Advisory Group” advises the government – which isn’t elected – on what not-laws to not-pass but enforce like King Dracos anyway. The FDA and NIH are exactly like this among others. They are not “Officially” government agencies and employees. Or some are and some aren’t. But no one knows which. As the employees revolving-door with 6-figures. SEC and Sachs. Raytheon and Pentagon. WHO and Pfizer.
This IS the model. NO GOVERNMENT AT ALL. All “Corporation” if you like, but far worse since corporations have to make profit, have customers and shareholders n’ stuff. This is much worse. You can’t boycott the WHO or even Pfizer, since neither have customers. It’s taxpayer>NGO>Corporation>NGO>Government with no voluntary exchange anywhere in sight. It’s the perfection of Socialism or really Socialism 3.0.
Overdose deaths are COLLAPSING nationwide and Rogan says it’s not an accident.”
Well, is USAID/CIA money for “Narcos” and “Ozark” and everybody knows it. They’re all one agency, one Dr. No power bloc. They’re identical to Globalists, to London offshore dark banking, to gun running, to terrorism, so if you shut one off, they all shut off.
Papa Bush set this up which is WHY he needed Reagan’s War on Drugs. That’s what FUELED and channeled it. Probably no one really grasped this at the time. How could a larger DEA be bad? A: Well if they’re all corrupt, then yes! If the CIA is corrupt and running it from inside then yes! We were more credible then. HW was not. He was always Evil AF. But unfortunately competent, not like today, who are all crayon-munching incompetents.
“ Trump Secures a HUGE and Historic Deal with Greenland (Matt Margolis)
Did he though? A: Probably. If we hold their head in a bucket and keep spanking them. Like other power, if we drop the power to “Make them” they’ll instantly reneg on us.
Also like What a whirlwind! “Where does he find the time??” A: He hires employees? Jesus Christ, do I have to explain employees now? “There is MORE than one man in America” and “There is MORE than one nation in the world.”
“• Trump Bans CNN, MS NOW, Politico From White House (ET)
Took long enough. I can’t believe they even have court cases on this. — I – don’t get to go and – I’m – the media: why is CNN special? They have no ratings, why are they NOT replaced with the Des Moines Pennysaver? A: Judges run the executive branch now, that’s why. They make foreign policy decisions.

As the song goes “They got a long way to go and a short time to get there.”
“The female mind — especially in matters of political significance — struggles with understanding authority and rule enforcement.” —JD Haltigan on X
It’s hard to know what to say about this except that I struggle to refute it. Or have another solution.
Let’s look at it another way: do all-women organizations and societies work better? A: No, they are hellscapes of relentless psychological terror. Add one man and that seems to level out. So clearly what is happening now isn’t working. And just as clearly it appears to be this.
“• NATO 3.0 Marches Into Copenhagen (RT)
W the Actual F is “NATO 3.0”? America isn’t in NATO and Turkey won’t obey. Those are the only armies on the Continent. As I often say, it LOOKS like Europe has an army, but the hundred-thousands they have are insufficient to defend the home bases. That’s it. Zero projection force, maybe +10k. They’re ALREADY using that in Ukraine and ALREADY losing it.
“Colby explained that the US will, going forward, focus on preparing for a potential clash with China in the Indo-Pacific”
No we won’t, and haven’t at all, but good cover story.
“Europe will increase its military spending to NATO’s current target of 5% of GDP and shift to wartime levels of defense production, Colby explained,
No Europe won’t. That’s the Reagan “Star Wars” plan that bankrupted and collapsed the LAST Soviet Bloc, in 1990. That’s what they’re doing to Europe’s new unelected Politboro now.
“while the US retains control over the bloc’s nuclear weapons.”
They’re damn expensive, AND need constant maintenance. That’s why we own all Britain’s nukes, or they’d have used them on Russia by now. But again: Soviet Collapse 1990? Who controlled the nukes? We’re planning ahead of time this time. So Europe can be Somali and Sudan (again), I don’t care, we can’t stop them. But we can put up a safety fence.
Btw, reminds me of Carney saying “Canada is a second power”. Oh. So you’re the Third World? Equal or less than the Global South? Yes, we know. That’s what “Lower income than people in Mississippi” means. He didn’t realize that’s what he was saying, obviously saying France is not China or the U.S., but that’s how it comes off. Why? Well, the EU was saying they were LARGER and better than the U.S. with more people, more market, more GDP (in 2002). Oops! Communism strikes again. They’ve stalled for every year of 25 years starting day one. …As has Canada. What’s 2% growth compounded 25 years?
And we suck! Somehow you sucked worse than we do! Like 50% worse.
Okay, take the above: translate to Russia. Russia sees Europe is going to go Somali again and try to kill another 60M as they do every 80 years like clockwork, like those cicada locusts or something. Russia is just acting like this, as are we. That’s it. No major attempt to stop them, Vance “tells” them, has exactly the effect you thought it would. We read “1984” and “Camp of the Saints” to the UK, has exactly the effect we thought it would.
Well, go ahead: no nukes though.
“• The EU Is Militarizing The Arctic. Here’s How It Plans To Do It (Strelnikova)
No they’re not. They have no money. They are “Speaking words”; there’s a difference. See the article? They established committees of committees, to discuss the discussions.
“Ukraine originated when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 as the result of the Soviet Politburo arresting Soviet President Gorbachev.”
He should elaborate on this. Defending Ukraine is defending STALIN’S borders. We are dying by 2 millions to protect the USSR. In the Diesen-Meirshiemer vlog, he points out that Poland was the most mixed state (before this they had ceased to exist as a nation at all for huge many years) but they chopped up Ukraine and willy-nilly re-set borders and suddenly Poland was the MOST homogenius state. Wow! So Sykes-Picot, they set every Middle Eastern border, CROSSING every natural ethnicity, and create a non-stop red-ant/black-ant fury, weakening them. Then lo! Suddenly they realize, when it’s convenient to politically militarily have a STRONG state, they suddenly remember you can have an ethnically united state! …But “Diversity is our strength” in Canada today.
But immediate: there was never any Ukraine. Ever. That’s why it’s “THE” Ukraine, The Borderlands. It’s bits of Poland, Romania, Slovakia, etc all in a bag. Stalin and the new Soviet Union had a haphazard Western border, the Eastern border is roughly the Dnipr – but misses that Odessa is all Russian. But that’s hard to administer, so it became a circle around Kiev, which was reasonable at the time.
So Ukraine WAS never a nation, ever, until Gorbachev, hard to believe but first time ever, and probably the Viking Era doesn’t count: too different. So any fight for Ukraine is a fight for the SOVIET. …Which of course is exactly why the Poliboro in Brussels fights for it. Precisely this reason. The first round of EU employees was literally all Soviets.
They asked Crimea (Tartars, but also a lot of Russians) would you like to be with the most corrupt, ineffective, extractive state on the planet, who just ran a violent, public-burning coup on the legitimate government, or do you want to be with us? Not surprisingly they said “Not Ukraine”, a nation which didn’t exist and was split 50-50 Ukr and Russian from day one. (see the Yanokovich vote map) I too would like NOT to be in the most corrupt nation on earth! It’s all up from here! So Crimea is not Ukrainian in any way or argument. They can be like dunno, Chechnya. A people but in the government, like Wales.
Now look at a map, it’s all obvious: Russia from Moscow to the Dniepr, with Odessa, and including Crimea. Boom. There’s a small mixed-use area in Kherson, resting place of Gonzalo Lira, + Mykolaiv. Like 50 miles, probably half-Russian. The End.
“Mearsheimer presents the Ukrainian conflict as between Russia and Ukraine, but that is false. The war is between Washington and Russia,”
Washington that sends no men, money, or weapons and brokers peace first act in office? Surely you jest sir.
“Ukraine is a Washington creation. It has no independence from Washington. Europe has no weapons other than the ones Washington allows them. If Washington can discipline Russia, Iran, India, and China with sanctions, it can discipline Europe with sanctions
We made Khrushchev organize his Soviet districts? We created Ukraine’s borders following these districts in 1990? C’mon.
Washington clearly and famously can NOT discipline Russia, India, or China, and we ARE sanctioning TF out of Europe. We have 50% tariffs and cut off their oil, you might have noticed. Anywhere else that’s an act of open war, today it’s “Doing nothing.” Ah. Well it’s “Let’s make things up” Day again.
For Mearsheimer to pass the buck to Europe is nonsense.
As stated yesterday, John did NOT do this, but jumped into the breach to make sure the obvious was un-said. Paul here vows Europe, with 400M people has not a single gram of responsibility or power in themselves, even to resist. Wow! We are supposed to resist, but no one else.
“ Neither the American foreign policy community nor any US administration has repudiated the Wolfowitz Doctrine of American Hegemony.
We very specifically and pointedly DID refute that, both in Trump I and just three months ago as written official policy. You know that. You read it. Why does the White House bother to say things and issue Press Releases, legal documents? Everyone just makes up whatever they want anyway.
“why did Putin wait 4.5 years to begin fighting a real war.”
A really interesting question you should probably answer, Paul — If you don’t know, you have no business talking. 1) “Biden” was in charge. 2) Putin needed to bleed Europe 3) Non-aggression, as if Putin took out to Belgium, NATO would have mobilized. Not reaching the Dniepr, he forced France to ship their boys IN, one by one, and save Russia the trouble of a long walk. Then how do you sell guys in Madrid that Putler is marching on Europe? They can’t even reach Avdiivka. Yet the death count is the same, with no one popping up out of salt mines in your rear.
Even now, Putin has to hedge that maybe Trump is legit (who knows) but he could also be deposed at any time and is assassinated constantly. ‘Cause he a Globalist stooge, ‘natch. I think there was another arrest for assassination this week? I don’t bother to click. So Putin can only tentatively and safely explore how much support a U.S. alliance has. That’s fine, he should and all nations always do that. But that explains every inch of Putin’s strategy since 2022 and why it was wise and effective. I’m some guy living under a bridge and I can see this with my eyes shut. Ah, but then I couldn’t HATE. Hate the United States for fighting this since 1963.
“Why should Russia leave a hostile state on its border?”
You fecking dumb-ss, POLAND IS A HOSTILE STATE TOO. There’s NO end-state where a hostile is NOT on their border. A worthless no-man’s land of a broke, desolate, depopulated, landlocked, EU-draining rump Ukraine is a best case here. Maps exist you know. Look at one before you open your mouth. Romania, even larger problem at Odessa. There’s no help but to get hit by that one. Romania/NATO will immediately shell Odessa to rubble if they get close.
“Sami Winc: So Victor, let’s go ahead and turn to the Left’s propensity for lying and then their celebration of murderers. And this week we had the big lie on the internet this week was that there were black lynchings in the last five or six years. And you looked at every single one of them, and they were ruled as suicides with the exception of one that was murdered by her own husband. And so that lie is out there, and they just keep sending it out and perpetuating it. And then I wanted to just add to that for a picture that this week and last week, the Left was celebrating Kirk’s assassination. They were defending Luigi Mangione and Lindsay Clancy.

Oh yes, much worse. And they still keep going. Let’s point out something though: REPUBLICANS point, admit, criticize, expose, and protest what’s happening. CONSTANTLY. Non-stop. Every alt-media, pundit, average guy is open, vocal, and often about this.

The joke, possibly, is that it is Trump and his erroneous policy decisions which accelerate the growth of both the SCO and BRICS each day – as Trump’s ideas are so firmly rooted in a period of time in the second half of the 20th century where the U.S. was the dominant superpower and could bully everyone on the planet with its foreign policies. In the old days, huge foreign policy failures like Korea and Vietnam mattered less, as America was always the 600-pound gorilla who could sit wherever it wanted to sit when it entered a room. Having said that, the Vietnam war was hugely expensive and cost the American economy heavily – which is why Nixon decoupled the dollar from gold, so that future wars could be fought with freshly minted dollars with no side effects. In reality, subsequent wars – certainly Iraq and Afghanistan – were fought using money which was essentially borrowed from Global South countries, even China, through treasury bonds – basically loans given to countries backed by the U.S. government. But in recent weeks, with the real story of the Iran war emerging, some economists are wondering how much longer America has in this new system of endless borrowing from the Global South. With the rapid acceleration of both SCO and BRICS, borrowing money from the U.S. treasury might simply become an outdated idea – and a surplus of dollars around the world which not many people want only means one thing: inflation.

Put an End to the War Model; Intervene for the Peace Model
Marcia BakerSep 18, 2026
There is extreme danger of a breakout to regional war in Southwest Asia, with the latest confrontation on the Arabian Peninsula. At the same time, the global economic shocks worsen from the disruptions to commodity transit in the Red Sea, Persian Gulf, Black Sea, Baltic Sea, and are now threatened even in the northern passage of the Arctic.The talk of more warfare in recent days comes from nations and geopolitical interests ready to stoke further warfare on the Arabian Peninsula, by taking military action in the name of aiding Saudi Arabia against Ansar Allah, whose forces have recently taken certain control positions at the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, between the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. From London, Prime Minister Andy Burnham makes the classic offer for British geopolitical services to provide “aid” to Saudi Arabia. From Pakistan, Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has spoken out about the need to protect the holy cities, and to act under the Mecca Pact—among Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Türkiye. From Israel come voices ridiculing the Mecca Pact, offering instead for Israel to come to the “aid” of Saudi Arabia.
All these reactive options are coherent with the Western model of rule-by-force seen in the United States-Israel war initiated against Iran in the first place, and in the European elite’s perpetuation of the Ukraine proxy warfare against Russia, not to mention the U.S. imperial Western Hemisphere campaign for dominance, “Shield of the Americas,” established this year.
This past week Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, the international bankster, did his bit for aligning Canada with Europe against Russia, with a three-day trip to London, Brussels, and Strasbourg, talking of a new Canada-EU relationship, a new bank to fund Western military forces, and other grand visions of power. On Sunday Carney and French President Emmanuel Macron are to meet near Newfoundland.
That all these initiatives are inherently dangerous and a dead end for humanity—perhaps literally, unless stopped—is conveyed by President Trump’s latest pronouncement about what will happen next regarding the United States and Iran. Last night he said in an Axios interview, “I have a big decision coming up. Do I want to go in and annihilate them [Iranian leadership] or do I not? It’s a big decision. Anything could happen with me.” A meeting is planned for Trump next week in New York with the members of the Persian Gulf states, on the sidelines of the opening day of the UN General Assembly General Debate Sept. 22. There is also talk of Trump meeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in New York.
An important clarification was made about President Trump today in the opening presentation to [the International Peace Coalition]( https://schillerinstitute.nationbuilder.com/ipc_meeting) by Dennis Small, EIR Ibero-American Intelligence Director. He said that it is not the way Trump put it concerning the United States and Iran, when he said: “Anything can happen with me.” Small explained, the truth is: “Anything can happen to Trump,” meaning, he is as manipulated as the next guy, along with Mark Carney and other figures, by the prevailing Western war model of the Epstein billionaire elite—call it what you will—class of degenerates, still in exercising power. The same goes for the European war leaders, not supported by their populations, but continuing to wreak havoc.
An entirely different model of relations among nations was advanced last weekend at the BRICS Summit in New Delhi, whose 21 BRICS member and partner nations represent close to half the world’s population. Summit host Prime Minister Narendra Modi, after a productive, 50-minute meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, said that the two nations were “partners not rivals,” which concept characterized the entire weekend of interactions among dozens of delegations.
For example, Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian was present, participating fully in Summit sessions and meetings on the sidelines—a complete rejection of the Trump/Scott Bessent “Operation Economic Outcast” decree that no nation may have commercial dealings with Iran. If they do, the United States will punish them. So what. During the Summit, for example, economic agreements were made between Iran and India, and with Iran and the Eurasian Economic Union.
Now is the time to do everything possible to intervene to end the war model faction endangering the world. One priority intervention is the worldwide petition to Pope Leo XIV to use his good offices [to convene]( https://schillerinstitute.com/blog/2026/08/20/appeal-to-pope-leo-xiv-to-organize-a-global-leaders-summit-to-address-the-questions-of-peace-and-nuclear-disarmament/) a “Global Leaders Summit To Address the Questions of Peace and Nuclear Disarmament.”

The Joe Rogan clip about overdose deaths doesn’t show what he claims it does. Here is the graph he is talking about. Note that the data doesn’t even make it to 2025 but ends in late 2024. The paper was published in June 2025 and contains no 2025 data. Trumps actions may have contributed to a decrease in overdose deaths but this graph shows that the decline started before he took office.
The one problem with Trump’s latest ‘vapour’ bomb stunt for Iran…
Contact us: info@strategic-culture.suTrump has a plan – oh yes he does – for a new strike on Iran. That is, of course, if the Iranians don’t get wind of it and go ahead with theirs. Oops.
In recent days, a number of mainstream media outlets in the U.S. have revealed that Trump has signed off a massive arms deal with Israel, sparking fears that the U.S. president has lost all contact with reality as he prepares for a third round to the so-called Iran War.
According to a number of reports, the Trump administration is preparing to sell Israel a $2.8bn package of 907kg (2,000-pound) bombs, the largest single sale of the munition in recent years, according to reports by The Washington Post and other agencies.
The deal, considered to be a first of its kind ever, is funded through Foreign Military Financing – a mechanism in which Washington provides the money Israel then uses to buy U.S. weapons – and is believed to be 40,000 bombs: 20,000 MK-84 general-purpose bombs and 20,000 BLU-117s, a thermally coated variant of the MK-84 designed for safer naval storage, along with I-2000 Penetrator warheads built to strike hardened, underground structures.
The news has apparently alarmed a number of pundits who follow the Middle East and are sceptical about Trump rescuing himself from further humiliation as he heads towards the midterms with his own ratings at a record low.
“How big is this shipment?” Tucker Carlson wrote on X in a lengthy post. “It amounts to 40,000 tons of bombs. For perspective, the largest American air raid of World War Two was the Eighth Air Force’s attack on Berlin in March of 1945. Combined, the 2,023 Allied aircraft involved dropped about 3,000 tons of bombs. That’s 7.5 percent of what Trump is sending to Israel.”
Although not a military expert, Carlson said that these bombs would kill many innocent civilians.
“An American-made Mark 84 has a destruction radius of half a mile,” Carlson said. “It releases a thermal wave the temperature of the surface of the sun. Within 100 feet of the explosion, rock melts and human flesh turns to vapour. The bomb collapses apartment buildings and leaves craters thirty-five feet deep. Until the war with Iran, the U.S. military generally avoided using the Mark 84 in urban areas. It kills too many civilians.”
Trump’s plan, according to Washington insiders, is to go ahead with a massive bombing campaign of Iran immediately after the midterm elections, where he is expected to at least lose one of the two parliamentary houses in the U.S. political system, weakening his ability to go ahead with mercurial foreign policy forays. His thinking is that such a huge amount of destruction will make a difference in what so far experts are calling the ‘Iran War’, which all agree he has spectacularly lost – with gasoline prices in most U.S. states now well over $4 USD and a domestic economy in the doldrums, all due to the U.S. attacks on February 28th spectacularly backfiring.
Yet there are at least two worrying issues about the plan. The first one is pretty obvious. The lack of surprise about the attack should, of course, be a major worry for military planners in the Pentagon, who are concerned that the ‘all or nothing’ last-resort tactic now that Trump is looking at – sending in ground forces at the same time as the big attack – is going to result in hundreds and possibly thousands of Americans dying, if such a plan goes ahead. If the secret is no longer a secret – and perhaps we should assume it was leaked, as too many Americans are worried about Trump’s sanity and don’t want to be part of his insane ideas about going to war with Iran – then Tehran must be planning not only to stop those missiles getting off the ground, but to do much, much more harm to U.S. forces and Israel before the midterms. There is a growing group of pundits in D.C. and in Beirut who believe that Iran is planning a major strike on Israel and U.S. forces just before the midterms kick off, having maximum impact on Trump at the polls. Tehran’s goal, they say, is that Trump loses both houses, which would mean an inevitable impeachment process having immediate effect.
The other issue which D.C. insiders are fretting over is the low number of interceptors which are in the region, and the response from those who support Trump. The response goes something along the lines of: “Well, sure we’re low on them, but we wouldn’t need them in the first place if we don’t go in hard and take out Iran’s ability to launch their own missiles in the first place.” And so the assumption is clear. In Trump’s latest hare-brained idea, he believes that these ‘super bombs’ that the U.S. have will strike so hard at Iran’s military infrastructure, but even its electricity grid, that it will neutralise its army and its strike capability.
There can only be one conclusion that can be drawn by this latest thinking, which is that Israel has struck again and hit the jackpot the second time around, and convinced Trump that this ‘massive attack’ strike is a winner. It is possible they have also convinced him that Iran is in the process of making a nuclear bomb – something that they can present with no evidence whatsoever, as the only single institution which could verify this, the IAEA, cannot of course enter Iran now. One has to wonder about the mindset of GCC countries’ elites, given that in recent days Trump refused to bomb the Houthis on behalf of Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince’s pleas to his old friend, Donald. We are at the stage now that regional experts are speculating that such regional leaders are hoping for a massive U.S. defeat so the air can be cleared and a new regional world order can begin, while the Saudis rebuild their economy, which is in shatters and has reached a point of desperation where its leaders are looking at emergency IMF loans just to pay government salaries.
Saudi’s daily oil export via its own pipeline which crosses the peninsula from east to west pumped out 7 million barrels a day when operating, which represents 44 percent of the country’s GDP. With that gone, GCC leaders are realising that the future has to be without the U.S., which was always a massive liability and has cost them dearly. We underestimated the Houthis, yes. But we also underestimated how juvenile and immature Trump is, and how far he can go to nurture his own insecurities and foibles.
He has pushed the Iranians to their limits, and the rumours are that they see no point whatsoever wasting any time talking deals with someone so dishonest and duplicitous, and are considering one fatal blow. This could be Israel and its entire military infrastructure, or it could be a U.S. carrier. Such a move redefines the word ‘game changer’ and would certainly wake up the American people that Trump is destroying their empire at a speed no one thought possible. It will be their Suez moment.
The one problem with Trump’s latest ‘vapour’ bomb stunt for Iran…
The United States, Denmark, and Greenland signed a permanent agreement Friday that hands Washington lasting military rights across the island while permanently shutting out China, Russia, and every other non-NATO adversary. The deal gives the U.S. permanent access, basing, and overflight rights in Greenland, along with the authority to build new military installations there whenever it decides it needs to, according to a senior U.S. official who briefed Fox News Digital.

THE EUROPEAN UNION’S 2021 ARCTIC
POLICY UPDATE
———–
NATO 3.0 = the next-generation NATO built for Russia + China + Arctic + cyber + space + Indo-Pacific alignment.It is already happening — but it is not a formal treaty or amendment.
NATO 3.0 is about industrial warfare readiness, not peacekeeping.
NATO 3.0 is the alliance built for a world where Russia and China coordinate, the Arctic becomes militarized, cyber and space become battlefields, and Europe re-arms for industrial-scale conflict.The Greenland agreement is one piece of this architecture — a critical Arctic anchor — but NATO 3.0 is far larger.
————
Copilot’s Executive summary of NATO 3.0NATO 3.0 treats conflict as inherently multi-domain:
Land, air, sea: classic domains remain central.
Cyber: attacks on grids, pipelines, banks, and command systems are strategic.
Space: satellites, navigation, ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance).
Information: disinformation, psychological operations, narrative warfare.
Article 5 is now implicitly understood to cover non-kinetic attacks that reach strategic impact.
4.2 Arctic and High North posture
The Arctic/High North becomes a central theater:Geography
Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Finland, Sweden form a northern arc.
GIUK–Greenland gap is critical for submarines and air/missile routes.
Capabilities
Radar, early warning, missile defense, anti-submarine warfare.
Arctic bases, airfields, and ports.
Greenland agreement (2026)
Permanent U.S. access, basing, and overflight rights.
Authority to build new installations as needed.
Explicit exclusion of China, Russia, and non-NATO adversaries from military presence and sensitive investments.
Not publicly published; not in TIAS; likely classified or pending full ratification.
Functionally: a critical Arctic anchor within the broader NATO 3.0 architecture.
4.3 Indo-Pacific alignment (IP4)
NATO 3.0 extends beyond the Atlantic:Partners
Japan
Australia
South Korea
New Zealand
Purpose
Coordinate on China-related security issues.
Share tech, intelligence, and operational concepts.
Align deterrence and resilience across Eurasia and the Pacific.
NATO remains an Atlantic alliance legally, but operationally it becomes a global security network.
4.4 Industrial warfare readiness
NATO 3.0 assumes long, high-intensity conflict is possible:Ammunition production surge
Artillery shells, air defense missiles, long-range fires.
Heavy forces rebuild
Armored brigades, mechanized divisions, logistics chains.
Defense spending increases
Multiple states above 2% of GDP; some near or above 4%.
Defense production action plans
Coordinated industrial policy for warfighting capacity.
This is a shift from expeditionary peacekeeping to industrial-scale deterrence and warfighting.
4.5 Economic and energy security
NATO 3.0 treats economic and energy systems as strategic terrain:Protection of pipelines, cables, ports, LNG terminals.
Monitoring and securing critical minerals and Arctic resources.
Resilience of supply chains, especially semiconductors and defense-critical components.
Coordination with EU economic and Arctic policies (e.g., EU 2021 Arctic policy).
5. NATO 3.0 and the Arctic: Greenland’s role
Greenland is disproportionately important in NATO 3.0:Location
Bridge between North America and Europe.
Overflight and missile trajectories.
Submarine routes and undersea cables.
The 2026 U.S.–Denmark–Greenland agreement
Permanent U.S. military rights.
Exclusion of adversaries (China, Russia, non-NATO).
Enables long-term infrastructure: radar, airfields, logistics, ISR.
Integrates with NATO’s northern surveillance and deterrence.
Interaction with EU Arctic policy
EU’s 2021 Arctic policy emphasizes peaceful, sustainable, and prosperous Arctic.
NATO 3.0 overlays a hard security layer on top of EU’s economic and environmental framing.
Together: a civil + military governance structure for the Arctic.
6. Risks, fault lines, and escalation pathways
NATO 3.0 is powerful—but also dangerous if mismanaged.Russia–NATO escalation
Arctic incidents, Baltic Sea, Black Sea, cyber attacks.
Miscalculation around Ukraine or other front-line states.
China–NATO friction
Indo-Pacific naval encounters.
Tech and economic decoupling.
Polar routes and Arctic resource competition.
Hybrid attacks below Article 5 threshold
Pipeline sabotage, cable cutting, cyber intrusions.
Ambiguity about when NATO responds collectively.
Alliance cohesion risks
Differing threat perceptions (Russia vs China).
Domestic politics and defense spending fatigue.
Economic costs of long-term rearmament.
7. Operational indicators to watch (NATO 3.0 in practice)
If you want to track NATO 3.0 as a living system, watch:Arctic basing and infrastructure
New radar sites, airfields, ports in Greenland, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Iceland.
Defense production metrics
Ammunition output, heavy equipment orders, joint procurement.
Cyber and space incidents
Public NATO statements linking incidents to collective defense.
Indo-Pacific coordination
Joint exercises, statements, and agreements with Japan, Australia, South Korea, New Zealand.
Legal and policy updates
New NATO communiqués, summit declarations, and national defense strategies referencing multi-domain and Arctic/Indo-Pacific integration.
8. Bottom line
NATO 3.0 is:Legally: still NATO 1.0’s treaty.
Strategically: a hardened, global, multi-domain alliance.
Operationally: built for a world where Russia and China coordinate, the Arctic is militarized, cyber and space are battlefields, and Europe re-arms for industrial-scale conflict.
The Greenland agreement is a critical Arctic anchor in this system—
but NATO 3.0 is far larger, spanning law, industry, technology, geography, and global partnerships.————–

The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetterBREAKING: France is running out of fuel. 11% of France’s stations nationwide are now out of petrol or diesel, one in nine, with 16% of stations short in Grand Est, 15% in Pays de la Loire, 14% in Occitanie, and 13% in Centre-Val de Loire, per government figures published this morning.
The official count only registers a station as short if it has no petrol at all or no diesel at all, so a station out of one grade but holding another is not counted, meaning the real shortage is much larger. French diesel averages €2.406 a litre, about $10.45 a gallon.
Europe is facing its worst energy crisis in history.

## **🚨 France’s Fuel Shortage: What’s Actually Happening (Verified Facts)**
### **1. The headline numbers are real — 11% of French stations are short on fuel**
Government data published at **09:00 on September 18, 2026** shows:– **11%** of France’s ~9,900 stations are experiencing shortages of **at least one** fuel (petrol or diesel). [Times Now](htt ps://www.timesnownews.com/world/france-fuel-crisis-explodes-1-in-9-stations-facing-shortages-diesel-hits-record-article-156188875) [News18](htt ps://www.news18.com/world/frances-fuel-crisis-deepens-11-stations-face-petrol-diesel-supply-shortages-ws-el-10341615.html)
– This is up from **9%** two days earlier — a rapid deterioration. [Times Now](htt ps://www.timesnownews.com/world/france-fuel-crisis-explodes-1-in-9-stations-facing-shortages-diesel-hits-record-article-156188875)### **2. Regional shortages are significantly worse**
Government figures show severe regional stress:– **Grand Est:** **16%** of stations short
– **Pays de la Loire:** **15%**
– **Occitanie:** **14%**
– **Centre‑Val de Loire:** **13%**
[Times Now](ht tps://www.timesnownews.com/world/france-fuel-crisis-explodes-1-in-9-stations-facing-shortages-diesel-hits-record-article-156188875) [Prix des carburants](https://www.prix-carburants.gouv.fr/index.php/disponibilites-carburants)These numbers match the tweet almost exactly — they are **verified**.
—
## **3. The official method *understates* the real shortage**
This part of the tweet is also correct.France only counts a station as “in difficulty” if:
– **ALL petrol grades are gone**, or
– **ALL diesel grades are gone**If a station is out of SP95 but still has SP98, it is **not counted** as short.
If a station is out of one diesel grade but has another, it is **not counted**.
[Prix des carburants](htt ps://www.prix-carburants.gouv.fr/index.php/disponibilites-carburants)This means:
– A station missing the fuel **you** need may not appear in the official shortage data.
– The real number of motorists encountering empty pumps is **higher than 11%**.—
## **4. Diesel prices really are near record highs**
Verified price data:– Diesel averaged **€2.38–€2.39 per litre** on Sept 18–19.
[Times Now](htt ps://www.timesnownews.com/world/france-fuel-crisis-explodes-1-in-9-stations-facing-shortages-diesel-hits-record-article-156188875) [News18](htt ps://www.news18.com/world/frances-fuel-crisis-deepens-11-stations-face-petrol-diesel-supply-shortages-ws-el-10341615.html)That is:
– **€2.39/L = $10.45 per US gallon** (the tweet’s conversion is accurate).
Some stations are charging **€2.50–€2.70/L**.

## **5. What’s causing the shortage? (Verified causes)**
### **A. Logistics bottlenecks, not refinery collapse**
French energy officials say the crisis is driven by:– **Local distribution bottlenecks**
– **Mismatch of fuel types at retail terminals**
– **Sudden shifts in demand**
[ababnews.com](htt ps://www.ababnews.com/news/ccc1d516-cc3e-45b8-9325-4603f25f76f8)This is important:
France is **not** running out of crude oil — it’s struggling to move the right fuel to the right stations fast enough.### **B. Middle East conflict & Hormuz disruptions**
Fuel prices are being pushed up by:– Attacks and disruptions in the **Strait of Hormuz**
– Pipeline closures in Saudi Arabia
– Rising global crude prices
[Energynews.pro](htt ps://energynews.pro/en/french-government-rules-out-shortage-despite-fuel-price-surge)This is directly relevant to your broader conflict‑tracking work.
### **C. Protests and blockades inside France**
Fishermen have blocked multiple fuel depots with trucks in:– Sète
– Port‑Vendres
– Fos‑sur‑Mer
[ababnews.com](htt ps://www.ababnews.com/news/ccc1d516-cc3e-45b8-9325-4603f25f76f8)This has worsened regional shortages.

## **6. Government response**
France has:– Held emergency meetings (Macron + candidates)

## **7. Is Europe facing its “worst energy crisis in history”?**
The tweet’s final line is **commentary**, not a factual claim.What we can say factually:
– France’s shortages are **the worst since early 2023**, and rising.
– Diesel prices are at **record highs**.
– Multiple European states (Germany, Italy, Poland) are also experiencing **diesel tightness** due to refinery outages and Middle East disruptions — but France is currently the worst‑hit.A precise “worst in history” statement cannot be verified from the data.
—
## **8. A corrected, fact‑checked version of the tweet**
Here is a version that is **fully accurate** and grounded in verified data:> **BREAKING:** France’s fuel crisis is worsening. Government data shows **11%** of stations nationwide are now out of **either petrol or diesel**, with severe shortages in **Grand Est (16%)**, **Pays de la Loire (15%)**, **Occitanie (14%)**, and **Centre‑Val de Loire (13%)**.
>
> The official method only counts a station as “short” if **all** petrol grades or **all** diesel grades are gone — meaning stations missing specific grades are **not counted**, and the real shortage motorists face is higher.
>
> Diesel prices have hit **€2.38–€2.39/L**, breaking records — equivalent to **$10.45 per gallon**.
>
> France’s crisis is driven by **logistics bottlenecks**, **Middle East supply shocks**, and **domestic depot blockades**, not a crude‑oil shortage. Europe’s fuel system is under severe stress.—
I can’t say what’s happening, and that no doubt IS the official explanation, the “LLM” is “LLM-Repeating” but the AI is an idiot. Wrong, but you knew that when it said “AI”.
Okay shortages, that can only be known by French data if you trust it: No problem. Some grades are out at some pumps, cool, fine, can’t say “Makes Sense”; let’s just say that’s our data set. What does AI say?
It’s not refineries and not crude supply, it’s transport. Uh, wait: what? No. Not saying that’s impossible as a practical fact, but that’s not what’s happening here. Follow with me:
1. Great Oil is arriving fine in France.
2. All Oil is being Refined in France, no problem.
3. Every liquid truck in France broke Friday. What the…?No, no, we ALL KNOW it’s one of the previous: oil isn’t arriving, and/or it’s eg the loss of Russian petrol they shouldn’t be buying that’s stopped the quantity. Let’s follow the only logical conclusion from France and AI:
Prices are extremely high, so demand is RISING. Rising wildly, a lot. The higher gas goes, the more citizens are buying at the pumps and storing it in water bottles in their French apartments. Uhhh, no. We all know that’s not happening, and points up that the problem is even WORSE. Let’s say +10% have shifted usage to economize, maybe 20%. AND THEY STILL CAN’T GET IT.
No: they have a problem with Oil from Hormuz, Saudi said so, right on command. They ALSO have a problem with refineries as Ukraine blows them up. What’s the most likely?
A: France has been importing a s–t ton of petrol from Russia via some means. Let’s say it’s only 10-20%, but it matters. High price is okay for this. Price is high (safety premium, adding middle men in Turkey and India) but supply is fine. UNTIL UKRAINE REMOVES SUPPLY. Then there is NO price. Price doesn’t make supply anymore, not til some people go without. That’s now.
Now why did France Lie like a Persian Rug, and AI merely picks up that lie unknowing, which is its purpose: to give mass lies the illusion of “Authority”? A: Because France would have to admit they’ve been importing a tonne of oil from evil Russia all along — their sworn enemy — that was all a scam laid on the public, France did nothing useful at all about it, and now UKRAINE — that is, their own idiotic war — shut off their own damn fuel. …As Wars Do.
Yeah we all know, jack-ss. Now I can’t PROVE that, but “AI’s” explanation makes no d–n sense. And highlights that AI HAS no sense to make, no intelligence. AI is “Automatic”, or Real Stupidity. It repeats whatever its told. That’s what “Language Model” means. That’s what “Garbage In” means.
What do you think? Makes sense that every single thing is working great but France suddenly took the world’s biggest road trip?
