Participant“Mohammed bin Salman just dropped the hammer. Obama handed Iran $150 BILLION. Iran didn’t build a single street. They built missiles. Drones. Hamas.
Yes. Bankers always arm both sides. Obama as put in by bankers, well-known, to give them everything in the ‘08 financial coup – kept all of Bush’s financial cabinet. “They planned it all along” – Mark Baum, The Big Short. They literally interviewed and hand-picked him in Chicago, ‘member?
There is a best clip ever from Jon Stewart that’s now been purged: he slowly lists one by one that we armed Israel..so we armed Jordan, then because Jordan, armed Egypt, but too many weapons so we armed Saddam, then we armed Saudi because we armed Iraq… Yes, it’s about 10 minutes. …Ending with Obama arming Iran….specifically with nukes. Not just THAT he gave them money, he gave them a very specific KIND of money, then shut off all oversight at the Federal level so the Intel would be plausibly blind. It is suspected it’s Hillary’s Uranium that was shipped there.
Bankers always arm both sides. Obama is a banker. A banker’s water boy. It was to CAUSE this war, of course. Because you can’t put smoke back in the bottle. Now we blame Trump because the smoke was out of the bottle 20 years back and only just noticed.
While we’re on the issue of money (and DOGE) there was a Congressional Testimony in the 1960s that USAID should be covered and protected because essentially everyone in it was a CIA asset. (about Chile, Allende) Congress said “Okay, great then!” as such were the times. Fast forward to today? USAID/DOGE/CIA/DNC?? And all Gangster Rap music destroying Black Culture vanishes same day? It’s almost as if Public Enemy was right and the CIA really WAS targeting all black neighborhoods with crack in the 90s (to fund Bush’s CIA drug armies).
“Trump Announces AI Task Force and Pending Appointment of AI Czar (CTH)
I don’t believe a word of this article. Data centers are literally hell on God’s Green Earth. Irreversible, and we all know they are the front edge of executing pure evil. Against man, sure, but also against all life on earth. If they are necessary, like a bomb factory, then pitch me that case, but they are not. This is all reality-free on all sides.
Let’s go back to something we know: this was all engineered on purpose, at one level for a trillion in profit as the CEO’s can see. But at another level to over-lever the U.S. and collapse our market. And now is a really bad time for that, we may have to pay to avoid it. But none of that has to do with data. It is almost certainly doing military functions, which are hard to explain to us. Also fine. But that isn’t this.
What do you see with building a robot army, a pan-galactic satellite system and the AI to run them? 1) We are expecting an alien invasion, don’t want to tell anyone, and are planning. Golden shield. 2) We are openly fighting China, who has a billion men. So we need a billion robots or at least to signal that.
3) Nothing else. That’s it, that’s the only options.

Everyone can see this game for what it is.The only someone we need is RUSSIA can see what it is. I think they do. You can’t start WWI if everyone knows what you’re up to. But don’t get complacent. No one in Ukraine wanted to go to war either.
“The Court ruled unanimously in more than 44% of cases, slightly up from the prior year. ..In over 77% of cases
Okay, good for this discussion. Then what the heck are the cases doing in lower courts? If they’re all that obvious, they shouldn’t need to be posed, marched for years, and presented. It’s not rogue lower courts – although that’s true – it’s that the law has changed. That is, unanimous interpretation was one thing 1970-2000, and something else since 2010. That is “We Make S—t Up”. But we don’t want to admit that too hard.
Go read your USSC decisions. “The Oxford Guide to United States Supreme Court Decisions by Kermit Hall” And you’ll see hundreds of cases where they make s—t up. No legal like WTF rulings, whenever they feel like, no either progressive OR Constitutional justification. The Culture wants this to be legal, so we Make It Up. Roe is a famously dim, irrational case, although a reasonable case could easily be made. Ginsberg herself said this. Dred Scot is another, almost certainly equally staged. But luckily every politician is and can be compromised, but it’s impossible for a court justice to be, so we’re safe.

It crosses them up, but more, it’s hilarious! It undermines their support and proves – as a definitional narcissist – that they’re not all that, these oh-so-goody-goodies are all worthless immoral scum just like you. They ain’t better than me! I’m the smarter one by NOT having morality! …You see this regularly in movies, because it’s actually true. That IS how they act. That’s WHY they attack Priests, Policemen, children, anyone naive or good is like a light to a moth for them: they MUST corrupt and destroy it, and PROVE! …They’re not all that. See? Goodness on earth really IS a myth. No one was really good ever.
…Because then I would have a moral option to be good myself. And not a Mafia capo. Not a pedo. Not an addict. I’d have to TRY, and not be Black Pilled and sit on the couch in my smug self-image. Right, boys?
You’d have to WORK. Work is HARD. Choosing the right thing is HARD. And we fail at it. But we try.
The entire Right is so lost in this, they wouldn’t claim an inch of ground in 100 years. We did not do that in WWII, we did whatever we HAD to to end the war. Faster. While someone was still g-dd–n alive. And that DID mean horrors and we did terrible things and made mistakes that blew 100k at a pop all to bits. …Landing in Italy comes to mind. Normandy wasn’t much better.
We used to have the brains of a slug and know this. No more, I guess. Sock him in the eye may not be a GOOD thing, but it’s an expedient thing that shuts this down now without too much heat. Now We’ll let the world burn if we have to drive a firetruck without ULEV and safety brakes and use a cup of gas that releases CO2 in the air. Everyone has to die safely then, I guess. Living in caves surrounded by bears is much safer. …As Germany will soon test for us.

ParticipantTrump’s war on Iran is crashing entire U.S.-dominated petro dollar system; it will be replaced with globalist sustainable development based on U.N. Agenda 2030 and surveillance state
Yemen’s Houthis crash Trump’s war plans by making devastating strikes on Saudi oil assets, including key pipeline that allowed Saudi oil to bypass war-ravaged Hormuz Strait, as global fuel costs soar.Leo HohmannSep 15, 2026
It looks like the globalists who have for years been calling for sharp restrictions on energy usage, getting it down to more “sustainable” levels, are going to finally get their wish. And it’s a “conservative” Republican president who is going to hand it to them on a silver platter.They want us off our land, in much smaller apartment homes, driving smaller electric cars or riding bicycles, using less air-conditioning and less energy in all aspects of life. The famous mantra of the globalist World Economic Forum has been “you will own nothing and be happy” under their so-called great digital reset. They’ve also argued for a much smaller global population.
Their dream is close at hand as the entire house of cards is getting ready to implode. The fundamental transformation to a fully controlled digitalized society is being driven on battlefields with unnecessary wars, and in the global oil and gas markets, making energy basically unaffordable for average working stiffs like us. And it’s all thanks to Donald Trump’s foolish moves thinking he could destroy Iran, topple its government and steal its oil. His bravado and outsized ego prevented him from acknowledging that Iran gets a vote in that scenario. And they had a plan to spread the economic pain worldwide.
Not only has Trump lost bigly in his gamble to take down Iran, but now his aggression has led to Iran’s allies in Yemen, the Houthis, going on a rampage and taking over all of western Yemen along the vital Red Sea coastline, allowing them to control the Bab el Mandeb Strait. The Houthis also bombed a key oil pipeline in Saudi Arabia that had been allowing 5 percent of the global oil supply to evade the dangers of the war-ravaged Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf.
U.S. Energy Secretary Christopher Wright has tried to downplay the significance of the pipeline’s destruction, saying the Saudis are able to promptly rebuild it and get it back online in a few weeks.
Here’s what David Haggith, who publishes the Daily Doom on Substack, posted on the topic:
Into the now rapidly spiraling energy crisis, U.S. Secretary of Energy, Chris Wright, attempted to speak some calm into markets. He seems to specialize in saying stupid things. This time he indicated the total shutdown of the east-west pipeline was not a huge concern because the Saudis plan to have the pipeline fully “running very soon.” Since he is always saying empty stuff like that, it would appear the energy secretary’s brain doesn’t have the energy to run a lightbulb.
With the Houthis having seized full control of western end of Yemen, which was generally under Saudi military control until this Friday, the Houthis have gained a lot more missile firing platforms and drone-launching areas along the Saudi border that are now uninhibited, at least locally, by the Saudis from stopping them. The Saudis even fled so fast, Biden style, that they left some valuable equipment behind.
So, it is not hard to figure out what the Houthi game plan will be for that major pipeline, making me think the energy secretary cannot be this dumb, so he must just be another Team Trump liar. With the pipeline totally dead, both parties will wait until the Saudis spend a lot of money and time getting the pumping station back online and until the oil starts flowing again. Then they will immediately blow it all back up, leaving another big mess of spilled and burned oil all over the totally destroyed equipment. Each time, the Saudis will have to clean up the big, charred oil spill before they can even start to rebuild.
The other major risk here is that other countries will enter the war on the side of Saudi Arabia, notably Pakistan and Turkey, which recently signed a mutual defense pact with the Saudis declaring an attack on one country amounts to an attack on all three. This is the first big test of that alliance. The Saudis are also asking Egypt to enter the war on their behalf.
The oil markets responded predictably to all this Trump-caused chaos. In a matter of days, Brent crude has gone from $90 a barrel to $109 a barrel.
At this rate, we could see $150 a barrel by the end of this year. That would mean gasoline prices of $7 to $8 a gallon, and diesel prices of $10 to $12 a gallon. You think food prices are high now? Wait till we have $10 a gallon diesel. Since jet fuel is a derivative of diesel, the airline industry will also be devastated.
Trump will likely declare an “energy emergency” and implement draconian new rules limiting Americans’ ability to purchase fuel for their cars and homes. And if protests get out of hand, he may declare martial law, possibly canceling elections, or postponing the results of the elections from taking effect after suggesting they were “rigged” by China, Russia or Iran.
Costco, a major bulk-sale retailer, has already responded by announcing a rationing plan for motor oil, limiting customers to two cans each. Watch for other major retailers to follow suit.
The bigger story is this: The U.S. petro dollar and the empire it propped up is in freefall, right before our eyes, and it’s going uncovered by the media. Americans have no idea how much economic pain is coming their way as a result of Trump’s destructive wars, both military and economic wars, none of which America is prepared to fight and win.
Trump has managed to kill the petro dollar by stupidly starting an illegal and unwinnable war against Iran, allowing it to spread throughout the Middle East, and failing to protect U.S. allies in the region.
The entire reason countries like Saudi Arabia decided to sell their oil exclusively in dollars was because they had a protection agreement with the Americans. You build your bases here on Saudi soil and we will sell our oil in your currency, then reinvest the profits in U.S. Treasuries to fund your debt.
In six months, Trump has managed to shatter that entire understanding. The spending party that led to a $40 trillion U.S. national debt is about to come crashing down.
I predicted it last year when I started referring to Donald Trump as “The Destroyer,” because he is functioning as a destroyer of nations and the destroyer of the post-World War II U.S.-led rules-based order.
Not that that order was any good, but the system it’s going to be replaced with, a technocracy based on total surveillance and total government control, powered by 6G and AI data centers, is going to be far worse. The AI surveillance cameras on every corner will be the eyes of the oppressive beast system; the data centers will be the brains.
When reporters question Trump about his disastrous policies, he shifts the blame to others.
This past weekend, he blamed the diesel shortage on Ukraine bombing Russian oil refineries. Overlooked is the fact that Zelensky has been bombing Russian refineries since June using American technology and American intelligence – Trump allowed it, had no problem with it. Now that diesel is in short supply and the national average price has shot up to around $6.50 a gallon, a fact that is going to cause rampant inflation in the price of all shipped goods, including food, Trump is suddenly acting like it’s a revelation that Ukraine is bombing Russian oil facilities.
While that has been a minor contributing factor in the diesel crisis, the far bigger cause has been Trump’s Iran war, which led directly and predictably to the disruption of oil through the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el Mandeb Strait. He is shifting the blame from himself to Zelensky when in fact he is responsible for both wars raging out of control.
At the same time, Trump has drawn down the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserves from around 400 million barrels of oil when he took office to around 275 million barrels today.
Saudi Arabia has been betrayed by Trump and the Americans. Saudi leader Muhammed Bin Salman reportedly called Trump over the weekend begging for Trump to bomb the Houthis and stop them from attacking Saudi oil assets. For whatever reason, Trump refused.
Why would the Saudis renew any contracts with the U.S. to keep American military bases in their country? Instead of protection, those bases have made them a target. And don’t think the other Arab states in the Gulf aren’t taking notes. The U.S. has been exposed as either too weak to fulfill its commitments, or unwilling to fulfill them. Either way, Iran is going to emerge from this war as the unchallenged hegemon of the Middle East, along with Israel. Those two regional hegemons will at some point have to settle their own business.
And countries like Saudi Arabia will now be incentivized to get their own nuclear weapons as that might be the only way to deter aggression from outside enemies.
The larger issue here goes beyond Trump and his destructive foreign policy. The bigger question is, how did we get a system in place in America that allowed a monster like Trump to get voted into office, not once, but twice? At the rate he is going, we will not only see America lose its empire, we might lose our country. We could end up with uncontrolled homelessness and poverty and a middle class that is totally wiped out of existence. All thanks to Trump and his obsession with waging an illegal, unconstitutional and unwinnable war against Iran that never had any connection to any legitimate American national-security interest.
As Trump gets more desperate to somehow spin this colossal loss into a sellable win, chances are great that he will dig himself a deeper hole that becomes increasingly impossible to dig himself out of. At that point, I would say the possibility of a major ground war and/or even a nuclear strike on Iran go up substantially.
Pray for peace while preparing for war. The battlefield in America may be more economic than military but the ravages could be just as devastating.

ParticipantThe Necessary Emergencies https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/the-necessary-emergencies
This fall hosts elections in the western world in a tense setting where citizens are being herded into chutes by owners just before a financial crisis, where some group of people will be forced to lose everything they have saved. Some larger, existential crisis is needed by our “owners” (Carlin) to preserve the natural order of things, wherein they decide how we should be managed and culled for the good of their planet.
Fabio Vighi, The Rogue Swarm and the Federal Backstop
There is a particular kind of tweet that only the CEO of a frontier lab can send at midnight on a Saturday. Dario Amodei’s was one of them: a warning that within six to twelve months a “rogue swarm” could seize control of the internet and inflict hundreds of billions in damage. The message was delivered with the grave, unsentimental cadence of a man who ‘has seen things that you people wouldn’t believe.’ Within minutes, Sam Altman and Elon Musk had joined the chorus – they had also “seen things.” By Sunday morning, the alarm was general... Within days of Amodei’s warning, Semafor reported that a previously stalled bipartisan AI safety bill had suddenly emerged as the most viable legislative option before 2027...
..Let’s be serious and ask the only question that truly matters here: what does this sudden AI-panic wave actually produce? One thing it certainly does not and will not produce, is regulation in any binding sense. Instead, it creates the terrain or precondition for something entirely different: a federal backstop for AI capital expenditure (CapEx) that OpenAI and other labs have sought from the beginning… handing Congress the emotional warrant to authorise emergency federal funding to secure AI (and, it seems, the world) against catastrophe. The existential threat is real enough to justify the money and vague enough to justify anything else.
This is the Machiavellian techno-financial machinery in its purest form. The point to always keep in mind, amid all the noise, is that the AI buildout runs on mountains of debt: capital investments by tech giants on data centres and AI infrastructure will exceed a trillion dollars in 2027; off-balance-sheet commitments are at $3.1 trillion with $1.3 trillion added in a single quarter; AI bond issuance has hit $266 billion this year and a further $400 billion are expected next year. Several of the largest hyperscalers are now free‑cash‑flow negative, as AI data‑centre and chip spending outstrips operating cash generation and pushes more financing off their balance sheets. In short, private balance sheets can no longer absorb the debt bingeing on their own. So, the conditions for the next round of credit creation must be conjured politically: first the panic, then the guarantee, then the issuance... The sequence is straightforward: private credit finances the buildout; mounting fragility demands a public guarantee (through procurement, energy subsidies, liability protection, debt guarantees, or emergency appropriations) and the guarantee requires an emergency vocabulary. AI safety supplies that vocabulary...
..It is hard not to conclude that the rehearsal is now done and the script is largely written. After all, SIFMA’s Quantum Dawn exercises have simulated large-scale cyber incidents on the US financial system since 2011, rehearsing exactly the kind of systemic crisis that would justify emergency authority. If an AI-driven financial emergency ever materialises – whether real, allowed, or manufactured – the institutional response architecture is already pre-positioned, and the pattern of response has been trained. The public won’t ask whether it is real…
..When that limit is reached, the state is drafted in – not to bail out an entire failing sector, which now would be politically impossible, but to secure it as strategic, which is patriotic. What else is the AI Safety Bill? It converts a solvency problem into a civilisational emergency, and an emergency into a federal appropriation... The backstop, then, is the first move: socialise the risk while private balance sheets can still absorb it. The rehearsal is the second move: prepare the emergency architecture for the moment they can’t. Both are forms of the same conjuring, aimed at the same end: more credit, politically guaranteed.
This is why the timing of Amodei’s tweet is important, and why the Coxon account, the sudden thawing of a bipartisan bill, the 9/11‑style rhetoric of existential threat, and the convenient postponement of OpenAI’s IPO all belong to the same picture... The panic writes itself, because everyone benefits from it...
..Which leaves the question I want to close on, via Bridgewater’s Greg Jensen: AI today is ‘where Covid was in February 2020’: ‘Until the AI starts killing people, unfortunately, history would suggest we’re not going to do anything, but we are going to face that. That’s going to happen, and it’d be much better if we started dealing with it before then.’ https://substack.com/home/post/p-216313832Total PsAI-Op: How Altman, Amodei, And The ‘EA’ Cult Are Milking “Rogue AI” Breakouts To Protect A Trillion-Dollar Bubble https://www.zerohedge.com/ai/total-psai-op-how-altman-amodei-and-ea-cult-are-faking-rogue-ai-breakouts-protect-trillion

A human analyst within the US intelligence community utilized data gathered by AI for a report that was later widely circulated across classified Pentagon channels, except that the chatbot which was relied upon in effect hallucinated nuclear weapons components being transported aboard a Chinese vessel bound for Iran.
Naturally this set off the highest alerts in Washington in the middle of an active hot war which President Trump launched ostensibly to prevent this very thing – Iran obtaining a nuke and atomic weapons components.
From there military planning kicked into high gear, with a special forces boarding operation imminent. Supposedly elite assets were already airborne, ready to descend on the Chinese ship in question.
But then, “the operation was halted only after officials took a closer look at the intelligence report and discovered that it had been produced with assistance from an AI chatbot,” CNN reports in a bombshell Friday exclusive. The episode reportedly happened last spring.
The severe error was realized with barely enough time to call off what could have been the geopolitical blunder and disaster of the century, “The chatbot had incorrectly identified the material the vessel was carrying.” https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/ww3-near-miss-ai-hallucinated-nuclear-weapons-components-aboard-chinese-vessel-boundSeptember 21, 2026 at 1:42 pm #250308John Day

President Vladimir Putin Gives Remarks on Europe’s Preparations for Expanded War Against Russia
“As you know, such threats are not abating. NATO is “swelling” and expanding and has now extended its reach to other regions of the world. Certain European leaders are openly declaring that they are preparing for war with Russia. In my view, they are merely trying to salvage their plummeting approval ratings by concealing the failures of their economic and social policies. This approach is clearly ineffective – it does not produce results.
Instead of listening to their citizens – who have made it abundantly clear through elections that they do not want war with Russia – these leaders continue to escalate tensions. They are exploiting the situation in Ukraine to exacerbate the crisis, using the Ukrainian people as cannon fodder.” …
..”Representatives of the Kiev regime – the leadership in Kiev – speak of peace and propose the resumption of so-called negotiations. Yet …they have no intention whatsoever of conducting any negotiations – that is what it is all about.
I have also said about some European leaders: to justify their position and exorbitant spending on the war in Ukraine, they are using absolutely anything. In particular, one of the basic claims is an alleged threat from Russia.
I want to say this again: Russia has no aggressive intentions regarding Europe or European countries. We simply have no reasons for this. We are ready for cooperation and restoring relations with our European neighbours.
Nevertheless, we have also noted another round of military drill held quite recently in the Baltic Sea. One of their objectives was to master seizing civilian vessels. Is that normal? All the time they are speaking about protecting international law, about observing its rules, while getting ready for capturing civil ships”…
..”Special attention will be given to developing a broad range of unmanned robot-assisted systems of various profiles as well as to precision munitions. We need to fully complete the orbital constellation of spacecraft. This will enhance the capabilities of all types of space reconnaissance, navigation, satellite communication and broadband internet access for the real-time command and control of troops and weapons.
In the course of implementing the proposed programmes, work to develop and introduce advanced digital technologies and AI will be continued. I want to emphasise that all the items and parameters of the new State Armament Programme require rational, carefully calibrated and effective solutions. This is what we are going to discuss. There are some other issues but we will discuss them in a closed-door format.” https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2026/09/19/president-vladimir-putin-gives-remarks-on-europes-preparations-for-expanded-war-against-russia/#more-287169 Simplicius on an emergency to rally European citizens to the ramparts: War Mania: “Security Crisis” Announced by Panic-Mongering Euro-Elites
Europe has entered into a political and economic crisis, and so distractions now are more necessary than ever before. For citizens to be able to endure the coming hardships, they must be made to feel that those hardships are absolutely necessary for their survival. For this, there’s no better propaganda outlet to beat the drums than the Orwellian BBC.
It begins:
The government wants us all to start preparing for severe disruption to our lives. It wants us to stockpile canned food and drinking water, strengthen our civic resilience, and plan for the possibility of war.
Work has begun on the government’s so-called “war book”, which hasn’t been updated in decades.
The UK’s most senior soldier has sounded the alarm. The Chief of the Defence Staff Sir Richard Knighton this week said the threat from Russia meant Britain was living through the “most dangerous” period of his 35-year career in the armed forces...
..In a coordinated burst of messaging, European leaders and institutions began to warn of a major “crisis” looming ever closer…
..The newly coordinated psyop campaign is planned around a phony false flag which would feature Russian “hybrid attacks” on NATO’s so-called “eastern flank”... Meanwhile, it is NATO itself that is actually increasing provocations day by day, all while pointing the finger to Russia… France is reportedly already carrying out secret military “responses” to Russia…
..When your country is collapsing and losing a major conflict, as Russia is said to be doing against Ukraine, the best thing is to promptly invade the largest military alliance in the world to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. This is what European sock-puppet leaders are selling to their gullible hoi polloi; but are they buying it?
Putin affirms that Europe is continually preparing for war against Russia, and correctly advises the reasons as to why—to deflect from its own poly-crises… In a laughable twist of irony, Europe claims that it is Russia that is planning the “false flags”…
..There is also the angle that Trump now plans to potentially pull a large amount of US troops from the embattled and embittered continent…
..Various emergency plans have all failed, and Ukraine is again running out of ways to fund its ballooning military expenditures...
..There is likely very little Europe will be able to do, beyond merely patching more holes with short term stopgap measures, and the situation is sure to continue its natural decline. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/war-mania-security-crisis-announced Simplicius, Double Feature: Explosive Election Weekend Comes With a Bang, Ends With a Whimper (For Globalists)!
Before the ‘shock’ of the Saxony-Anhalt state elections several weeks ago had time to wear off, Germany’s Berlin and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern round proceeded to deliver a double gut-punch to the Brussels-aligned establishment.
AfD again dominated in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and though it was to be expected it nonetheless caused another round of shock waves through the fretting German state… The ruling CDU party plunged by around 8% from the ~13% it enjoyed the last time. In fact, CDU has now fallen below the 5% threshold to even be represented in the state parliament at all, which means they will not be accorded even a single seat. This has never before happened to the party in any state election; an historic downfall.
Meanwhile, in Berlin the leftwing Die Linke party secured victory, likewise crushing the CDU which had dominated in the last outing. The failed Reichskanzler Friedrich Merz stood whey-faced and deflated as he miserably declared a day of disaster…

The counting of votes is nearly complete and the outcome of Russia’s elections to the State Duma are now fairly clear. The parties which have cleared the 5% threshold for representation in parliament are as follows:
United Russia – 58%
Communist Party – 14%
LDPR – 9%
New People – 8%
United Russia is, of course, the Party of Putin. It has retained control of the State Duma, the lower house of Russia’s bicameral legislature, which means that there will be continued stability at the federal level of government.
The Communist Party retains its position as the second strongest parliamentary party which has been the case throughout the 25 years of Putin’s ‘managed democracy’ in the country...
..United Russia won 58% of the vote across Russia. But only 56.66% of eligible voters bothered to cast their ballot, even though the government did what it could to facilitate voting… Still, despite these heroic efforts the tally was 56.65% voters. Multiply that by 58% and you find that the votes cast for United Russia and for Mr. Putin come to 33% of eligible voters...
..Accordingly, I suggest that we speak with care when we judge how well Russians back Mr. Putin’s conduct of the war with Ukraine. This remains an open issue as far as I am concerned…
..You will note that only one party in Russia took a position on the war against the Putin government: the Liberal party “Yabloko”. Their position was anti-war, meaning in effect, calling for a Russian capitulation, which would be suicidal for the country. It is not surprising that Yabloko was barred from participation in the elections by the Russian courts.
However, it must be said here that no other party said anything about the conduct of the war even though the subject was surely foremost in the minds of the entire adult population. They dared not say a word…
..In this very sense, the Russian elections were ‘managed’ and were possibly, I would say likely, unrepresentative of where the Russian population stands on Mr. Putin and his war. I also contend that the results we saw over the weekend voting resulted from Mr. Putin having changed strategy on the war 180 degrees in the six weeks leading up to the elections. His military moved from the ‘slowly, slowly’ war of attrition to sudden death attacks on Ukraine with an objective of destroying the cities and the economy in a matter of weeks, an approach which surely is approved by the general Russian population. https://gilbertdoctorow.substack.com/p/russias-electoral-results-no-surprisesSeptember 21, 2026 at 1:44 pm #250309John Day

Andrew Korybko, Canada’s “Associate Membership” In The EU Is Expected To Cause Trouble For Russia In The Arctic
Closer Canadian-EU military-security coordination advances the US’ NATO 3.0 vision of allies taking on greater responsibilities in pursuit of shared interests, which in this case is containing Russia in the Arctic.
President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen invited Canada to become an “associate member” of the bloc, the relationship of which doesn’t presently exist, during her state of the union address. While it’s unclear what this entails due to its unprecedented nature, Trump preemptively warned that the US would impose “very heavy tariffs” on the EU if this move is “a hostile act” with “bad intentions”, perhaps alluding to the scenario of EU goods flooding the US market via Canada.
Russian officials have yet to react similarly, and perhaps they never will, but Canada was already expected to cooperate with the EU in the Arctic in ways that threaten Russia’s interests. https://korybko.substack.com/p/canadas-associate-membership-in-the Gold & Geopolitics, Daily digest: 2026-09-21

Yemen put ballistic missiles into Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport fuel farm – the first strike on the Saudi capital since March 2022 – and Washington spent Saturday night behaving like a country about to shoot: Camp David cut short, near-identical embassy alerts across nine countries, a B-1B out of RAF Fairford, Iran at its highest alert level.
Underneath the theatre, the physical energy market kept setting records (US diesel $6.49/gal per @KobeissiLetter, 11% of French stations dry) and the 10-year yield went through 5% for the first time since 2007.
Riyadh’s airport fuel depot burns; Yemen claims strikes on eight Saudi cities. Houthi ballistic missiles and drones hit jet-fuel tanks at King Khalid International, suspending flights (zerohedge, HormuzLetter, Reuters photo via idreesali114, ejmalrai). Ansarallah claims two operations: Riyadh plus Aramco at Yanbu (MenchOsint). YuriPodolyaka lists eight target cities. Saudi/coalition says the missile was intercepted and destroyed at dawn with no damage (MenchOsint) – an AFP reporter watched firefighters extinguish an Aramco-marked tank and the WSJ has three officials saying jet-fuel facilities were hit (shanaka86).
US escalation signals stack up in a single evening, with one large caveat. Trump cut Camp David short and returned to the White House with no explanation (WHPressPool, HormuzReport); Netanyahu cut his US trip short (HormuzLetter); embassies in nine countries issued near-identical alerts (AMK_Mapping_, Osint613); a B-1B left RAF Fairford on afterburners (MoloWarMonitor); Iran went to “Code 100” (silvertrade, MacroAlphaHQ). The caveat: the widely-shared “CNN reports large-scale operation against the Houthis” line is disputed – AlexPfeiffer says CNN never reported it, and zerohedge notes Korean traders dumped bitcoin on it...
..Iran’s seven conditions are sitting on Trump’s desk, delivered via Qatar. SNSC Secretary Rezaei confirms the terms were conveyed (IranPress_eng, zerohedge) and told Al Jazeera the short version is: end the war on all fronts, release frozen funds, end the naval blockade – “We are prepared for a decisive war” (chigrl). Full seven-point list at imetatronink.
Moscow’s largest refinery is on fire. Kapotnya/MNPZ hit by Ukrainian drones; Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces posted a fire emoji rather than a claim (sentdefender, WSBGold, clashreport). Sobyanin confirms a damaged facility, no casualties (Zlatti_71). The plant supplies 35-40% of the capital’s fuel market and has been struck repeatedly since June...
..Washington’s Saturday night: bombers, embassy alerts, and a Saudi bargain being renegotiated – Aircraft: unusually heavy USAF tanker presence over the Gulf – 4x KC-46A, 3x KC-135R, 1x P-8A, with one tanker orbiting central Saudi Arabia (BeamTracker_). B-1B departure from Fairford independently logged (vcdgf555). Iranian airspace reported near-completely closed (SilentlySirs).
Zlatti_71 does the discipline properly: Alex Plitsas (Atlantic Council, ex-Pentagon SOF/CT) says the Camp David meeting reviewed Yemen strike options – no official or second outlet has confirmed it...
..The trade underneath: the FT reports Saudi Arabia withdrew from mBridge, China’s CBDC cross-border settlement platform (DarioCpx, Mark4XX). realTimHack reads the sequence as deliberate: leave MBS exposed during the Houthi strikes, extract broader financial and strategic alignment in return. Which would make the mBridge exit the price, not a coincidence.
Nostre_damus claims Riyadh threatened to dump Treasuries to force US help – unverified, single source, but consistent with the same bargain.
Whatever was decided, WeTheBrandon reports the US withdrawing from bases in Saudi Arabia, and Rubio has publicly opened the “NATO is a one-way street” file for after the conflict (Trustintrump47).
Tankers/bombers aside, tparsi makes the only structural point that survives either target choice: Iran or Yemen, it confirms escalation rather than wind-down.
Iran: the Pentagon’s own numbers – $38bn, 22 aircraft, and 123 dead children in Minab – Pentagon report to Congress puts the war at $38bn, with 22 aircraft and helicopters damaged or destroyed plus up to 30 MQ-9 Reapers, hundreds of buildings hit across US bases in Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, and Navy logistics cycles stretched to 14-18 days out of Diego Garcia (agent_of_change, citing FT). A separate estimate provided to Congress on Friday puts it at $45.1bn (highlightsnews1). Sources disagree; both figures are Friday-dated congressional estimates.
The 28 February strike on an Iranian elementary school in Minab killed 123 children. A Pentagon probe blames outdated intelligence still classifying the site as IRGC, compressed timelines from a demand for 1,000+ strikes in 24 hours, overreliance on Palantir’s Maven AI, and Hegseth’s 90% cuts to civilian-harm-mitigation teams. The school was on Google Maps and had its own website. A UN report this week says the failures “went beyond negligence” and may constitute war crimes. The investigation has been complete for months and remains unreleased (clashreport, GlobalNewsMontr).
Inventory consequences are hitting allies: Germany warned of up to five-year delays on Tomahawks, Japan up to two, with more than half the advanced Patriot inventory, roughly a third of Tomahawks and nearly half of THAAD interceptors consumed (ricwe123, citing Bloomberg).
Mobilisation claim from Tehran’s side: 31 million volunteered, 1 million to be trained (Kathleen_Tyson_)…
..Diesel and fuel: France runs 11% of stations dry while Washington debates squeezing the remaining suppliers – France: 11% of stations out of petrol or diesel nationally, 16% in Grand Est, 15% Pays de la Loire, 14% Occitanie, 13% Centre-Val de Loire. Diesel averaging €2.406/litre, roughly $10.45/gallon. The official count only registers a station short when it has no petrol at all or no diesel at all, so the real shortage is larger (HormuzLetter, FirstSquawk). Macron convened an emergency meeting (KobeissiLetter).
EU governments are discussing a bloc-wide windfall tax on energy companies, with gas +24% y/y, diesel +38% and jet fuel over +100% (KobeissiLetter).
The policy squeeze runs both ways: the US is threatening 100% tariffs on buyers of Russian crude – including India, now a critical alternative diesel supplier to Europe at 2.4m tonnes exported in July – while simultaneously discussing a US diesel export ban (Macrobysunil). Mark4XX has the statute detail: 30 days to hit the five largest buyers, no country named in the text, first new tariff power Congress has granted a president in nearly forty years...
..AI financing: the $6.9trn map goes public, and the money is now coming from Japan – Zerohedge published a full breakdown of the debt funding the AI supercycle – every IG, HY and leveraged-loan cusip issued in the sector YTD (detail) – mapping $6.9trn of US AI infrastructure capital need across capex, operating cash flow and financing (chart).
Off-balance-sheet commitments across GOOGL, META, MSFT, AMZN, ORCL, NVDA and AVGO total over $3.1trn in purchases, leases, guarantees and investment facilities (zerohedge). Roughly $3trn of that sits with frontier labs – and won’t be paid if cheap open-weight models crush frontier token pricing (zerohedge).
Hyperscaler IG debt issuance is projected at $420bn globally in 2027 (zerohedge, series).
The funding source rotated overseas: US life-insurance cash via private-credit SPVs is tapped out, so Nippon Life plans $13bn for US data centre financing per Nikkei (zerohedge)...
..The margin threat is now measurable. Open-weight models are within roughly four months of the best closed frontier models (pstAsiatech), and on Vercel’s gateway Moonshot + DeepSeek + Z.ai together account for more inference spend than OpenAI – with the money largely going to the serving layer rather than the labs (dee_bosa, token share).
Industry insiders tell the NY Post that OpenAI and Anthropic “oversold” recent rogue-AI incidents to shape Washington regulation that would protect incumbents (ResisttheMS); zerohedge runs the same thesis harder.
Trump, meanwhile, announced an “AI Force” branch modelled on Space Force plus a forthcoming “AI czar” (vick55top), said the only guardrail needed is a high-IQ president (Barchart), and polled the public on renaming AI to Superior, Extreme or Supreme Intelligence (KobeissiLetter). https://no1sdailydigest.substack.com/p/daily-digest-2026-09-20 Gold & Geopolitics, Daily digest: 2026-09-19
Two things broke overnight. Saudi Aramco told European refiners they get zero crude next month – the first outright term-contract cancellation of the war – and Ansar Allah put ballistic missiles over Riyadh for the first time, shutting the capital’s airport and setting off sirens at Al Kharj, where US forces sit. Everything else compounds: the US 10-year closed the week at 5%, diesel set another record at $6.45, and the BoJ hiked to a 31-year high while the yen fell anyway. https://no1sdailydigest.substack.com/p/daily-digest-2026-09-19September 21, 2026 at 1:46 pm #250311John Day
ParticipantGold & Geopolitics plays with antithesis: Gold caused the Great Depression So…… Why are we on the cusp of yet another one?
Even Barry Eichengreen, the man who literally wrote Golden Fetters, went back later and co-authored a BIS paper calling the Depression a credit boom gone wrong.
His ingredients: lenders competing aggressively to hand out credit (check), new technologies that took far longer to pay off than anyone priced in (check), and central bankers who had swapped the rules-based pre-war standard for their own discretion (read that as: “were making things up as they went”) (oh, and check).
Then, when the bust FINALLY arrived, Washington looked at a world drowning in goods nobody could afford and answered with Smoot-Hawley in 1930.
Tariffs up on thousands of items (check), everyone retaliated (we’re getting there), and world trade shrank by about two-thirds in value by 1933 (not too long now). https://no01.substack.com/p/gold-caused-the-great-depression President Trump Signs Russian Sanctions Bill that Grants Him Massive Tariff Authority Over U.S. Imports from Countries Doing Business With Russia
After a careful review of HR5334, the Lindsey Graham Russian Sanctions Bill [pdf HERE], I can certainly see why President Trump would happily sign it…
..The bill requires Trump to impose tariffs of up to 100% within 30 days on all goods imported into the US from the five largest importers of Russian crude oil or gas as well as any country that knowingly made new purchases of oil or gas 30 days after the law was enacted or was among the top five countries helping Russia evade sanctions.
China and India are among the biggest buyers of Russian oil, but critics say the law gives US officials enough leeway to name a range of targets since it does not name any country or spell out how the top-five lists would be calculated.
“Given the discretionary authority that the president has, it is likely to be abused,” said Laura Brank, a lawyer at Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner who focuses on cross-border transactions. […] Challenging the latest tariffs in court could be difficult since the law specifically calls for the duties, while previous challenges to tariffs have successfully argued that the Trump administration misapplied laws from decades earlier.

Massie has been unrelenting, even after being defeated for another term by the largely unkown Ed Gallrein, a Republican candidate backed by President Trump and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), and groups like the Republican Jewish Coalition.

The argument as laid out below hinges on whether Hegseth was following ‘lawful orders’ from the Commander-in-Chief. Massie says no.

Participant Trump’s Greenland deal: A triumph of optics? It seems the new agreement may not be that ‘new’.
The new agreement between the United States, Denmark and Greenland on the security of the Danish autonomous territory appears to be good news. It may finally put an end to nearly two years of repeated intimidation of Greenlanders by Washington and ensure that the stated red lines on territorial integrity and sovereignty are not crossed…
..US President Donald Trump can present himself as a winner to his supporters, which was necessary to de-escalate tensions. His political allies and aligned media outlets are already praising his negotiating strategy, arguing that sustained pressure worked and left the US better placed to expand its military presence in Greenland — an area that is, admittedly, vital to US national security.
But there is a catch: much of this was already possible under the existing 1951 defence agreement, which was updated in 2004 with Greenland’s Home Rule Government as a party. It gave the US extensive military rights, which Washington made considerable use of during the Cold War, when it maintained 17 military installations and more than 10,000 personnel in Greenland. Today, only Pituffik Space Base remains, with about 150 US military personnel...
..The deal is an “‘Infinite Life’ Agreement, there is no end!” By comparison, the original agreement stated that it “shall remain in effect for the duration of the North Atlantic Treaty”. In other words, it was tied to NATO’s continued existence...
..Second, the US president wrote: “No U.S. adversary can EVER have a base in Greenland, have a military presence in Greenland, or make sensitive investments in Greenland without our express written approval.” In other words, the US would appear to have gained a formal veto power that could block adversarial countries – such as Russia and China – from seeking to establish a foothold in Greenland. Examples from recent years suggest, however, that this was already largely the case in practice. https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2026/9/20/trumps-greenland-deal-a-triumph-of-optics President Trump Just Located New Bases for the 25,000 to 40,000 U.S. Military Projected to Exit NATO in Europe
It’s likely a significant U.S. military footprint is destined for Greenland. If you read President Trump’s earlier announcement you might note:
…”We will immediately begin the process of developing a large Military presence in the appropriate part of Greenland, of which there are many. We will work with the people of Greenland in its development and construction.” https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2026/09/18/president-trump-just-located-new-bases-for-the-25000-to-40000-u-s-military-projected-to-exit-nato-in-europe/ Celia Farber on practicing to survive war with Russia: Sweden Places 40 People, Including Teenagers And An Infant, In Underground Bunker With No Electricity For 12 Hours, In First War Drill https://celiafarber.substack.com/p/sweden-places-40-people-including

Saudi Arabia’s retaliation to Houthi attacks from Yemen will be “massive” and coordinated with coalition partners, Nawaf Obaid, senior research fellow at King’s College London, tells Al Jazeera.
Flames and thick smoke were seen near the Saudi capital’s main airport after authorities issued alerts warning of potential danger around Riyadh on Saturday.
It seemed at that time that the U.S. was joining in with the Saudis.

Participant“Trump’s war on Iran is crashing entire U.S.-dominated petro dollar system; it will be replaced with globalist sustainable development based on U.N. Agenda 2030 and surveillance state”
That’s why the US$ is unchanged by a penny, gold has plummeted, and bond sales are brisk. That’s why investment in the US is in the trillion, because the US$ is about to collapse, and every Investor will take a Trillion dollar haircut.
That seems unlikely.
Trump is working for Davos, Globalists, and 15 min cities, that’s why he says he’s not, his every supporter is against it, every one of those Globalists who are for it hate him hourly, and shoot him weekly. Obviously. That’s what “Handmaiden on the same team” means.
If the first line is this dumb, imagine how dumb the rest of the article is.

ParticipantGetting Married.
About a century ago, the house of Churchill was broke, so Mr,Churchill had no choice but hold his nose and marry the hapless daughter of a some newvo rich New Yorker seeking a title.
So, Carney is marrying Canada to Eurooe. The Canadian bride to be is a modern day version of that hapless daughter from New York!
The Canadian bride to be, is a very well educated woke feminist university graduate who believes in climate change and being politically correct, so don’t expect to start a family anytime soon!
She supports abortion up to live birth and MAID, because there are too many people in the world. She believes carney is the best prime minister Canada has ever had! She liked snorting Trudope’s free cocaine too.
If Carney says so, she would be just thrilled to marry a rich European woman! She has some overdue credit card payments, that badly need to be paid off!
The bride’s two favorite hair colors are purple and blue! She comes completely tattooed from head to toe. She sports a big nose ring so she is easily lead around by her current owner. She gets her free needles at the local walk in clinic.
Congratulations Europe, you have just married a modern Canadian woman!

Participantcarny:
Please don’t tell carney that the european floors, he is walking on are about the collapse, any day now!
The fuse has been lite and is burning brightly for all to see, except for carney’s egos!
Good thing you have an American passport!
