Douglas Macgregor is a retired Colonel and former seior advisor to the U.S. Secretary of Defense. Col. Macgregor argues that the decision has been made for another war with Iran. On the European front, Trump makes absurd and dangerous statements about the proxy war in Ukraine, while simultaneously pulling out. The Europeans are left with the responsibility for the losing war in Ukraine, and panic is setting in.

Participant@ Celticbiker,
We may all be in the matrix but that is not the way I see it.As someone who has valued truth and perfection to this day
I have found most everything that I was taught to be truth was really a lie.Most of my commercial embedded electronics experience
discovered production was being moved to Asia.
The globalists were collapsing production in the west.
Collapse of worldview.Most of my military embedded electronic life experience
created product for the US military.
I thought I was doing good in this world.
In reality I was supporting the parasite that was feeding on the world.
Collapse of worldview.My healthcare experience
I now understand is designed to extract wealth while
culling the Western population.
Collapse of worldview.All governments in the west intend to feed on their populations it seems.
The purpose of the military is to extract wealth not protect it seems.

ParticipantEuropean War Greenlighted https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/european-war-greenlighted
There is a variety of reads of Trump’s UN statements, which contradict his recent positions, and seem to goad European NATO countries into war against Russia, purchasing US weapons, but not getting back-up support guaranties from the US, the Ukrainian deal, writ larger, and suicidal for them. Trump seems to want the war to finish up so he can do business with Russia.

John Helmer features: “Anonymous, City of London”, BARCLAYS BANK PULLS OUT OF FINANCING ISRAEL’S GENOCIDE Who pulls the plug on a nation’s credit?
For decades, Barclays Capital has been a pillar of the City of London’s support for Israeli government debt as one of the twelve primary dealers whose role is to finance the debts of the Israeli state and funnel international capital to Tel Aviv.
No longer. New figures reveal that in the midst of the famine stage of the Gaza genocide, and the mounting global outcry against the Israeli Government, Barclays has plummeted to near-bottom of the league table of international banks accepting to buy, hold, market, and trade the foundation stones of the Israeli economy, Israel’s bonds.
This isn’t a stumble on the big bank’s part; it’s a strategic retreat. The numbers suggest Barclays has slashed its purchases at auction to a trickle, potentially diverting hundreds of millions in capital away from the Israeli war machine. The question is no longer about profit margins or Zionist enthusiasm in the boardroom—it’s about reputational survival. Barclays, a bellwether of the British establishment and Anglo-American banking, is voting with its balance sheet, and its verdict is a blow to Israel’s financial capacity to win its long war against the Palestinians, the Arabs, Iran and Turkey. https://johnhelmer.net/barclays-bank-pulls-out-of-financing-israels-genocide/#more-92395Indonesia says ready to send peacekeepers to Gaza at UN General Assembly

He described the Israeli minister’s statements as “unusual” and a response to the effectiveness of Yemen’s operation, noting that the Israeli official lacks knowledge of the power and resilience of Yemeni forces.
He further revealed that leaked information from some Israeli media indicated the targeted drone strike specifically hit a high-ranking Israeli official, explaining the subsequent threats from Israel’s war ministry. https://en.mehrnews.com/news/236793/Yemen-targets-high-ranking-Israeli-official-in-drone-strikeMassive pro-Palestine protests rock Italy, 60 officers injured

A village in southern Lebanon on Tuesday buried five people, including three children and their father, killed in an Israeli strike over the weekend.
Shadi Charara, a car dealer, was killed while driving home to the southern seaside city of Tyre on Sunday with his wife and four children after having lunch at his father-in-law’s house in the town of Bint Jbeil, a few kilometers from the border with Israel.
Sam Bazzi, the children’s maternal grandfather, told The Associated Press the family thought they were safe because they had no affiliation with Hezbollah. “We’re regular citizens and we don’t belong to any group,” Bazzi said. “And so we thought we had nothing to do with it and we were just living normally, coming and going.”
The family was only a few hundred meters from Bazzi’s house when a motorcycle passed by, and at the same moment, the Israeli drone struck. It killed Charara, his twin 18-month-old son and daughter Hadi and Silan, 8-year-old daughter Celine, and the motorcyclist, a local man named Mohammed Majed Mroue. https://english.aawsat.com/arab-world/5189529-lebanese-village-mourns-children-and-father-killed-israeli-strikeDuh, If Trump wants Nobel Peace Prize, he should stop Gaza war, Macron says https://www.arabnews.com/node/2616455/world
Trump Told Muslim Leaders He Would Not Allow Israel To Annex the West Bank, Huckabee has previously suggested the US wouldn’t oppose annexation President Trump met with a group of Arab and Muslim leaders on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly on Wednesday and reportedly told them that he wouldn’t allow Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to annex the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
The Muslim and Arab leaders have reasons to doubt pledges from Trump since he has recently significantly damaged the US’s diplomatic credibility by using negotiations with Iran as cover to help Israel launch a war. The president has also claimed he was unaware of Israel’s plans to bomb Hamas leaders in Qatar, an attack that came while they were discussing a US ceasefire proposal, but, according to Israeli officials, he was informed beforehand and didn’t oppose the attack.
The meeting in New York comes ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s fourth visit to the White House this year, where he is expected to push for US support for the Israeli annexation of at least some territory in the West Bank. https://news.antiwar.com/2025/09/24/report-trump-told-muslim-leaders-he-would-not-allow-israel-to-annex-the-west-bank/September 26, 2025 at 1:57 am #196439John Day

Report: Trump Was Made Aware of Ukrainian Counteroffensive Plan That Requires US Intelligence Support
According to The Wall Street Journal, the president learned of the plan before he said Ukraine can retake all the territory Russia has captured
US officials told the Journal that the president made the post after spending time with his special envoy to Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, and Mike Waltz, his former national security advisor who now serves as the US ambassador to the UN. Kellogg recently said the US could “kick Russia’s ass” and insisted Ukraine could win the war despite Russia’s continued gains in eastern Ukraine and its clear advantage with manpower and industrial capacity. https://news.antiwar.com/2025/09/24/report-trump-was-made-aware-of-ukrainian-counteroffensive-plan-that-requires-us-intelligence-support/Andrew Koybko forgets the 6th option, “just bullshitting”: The Five Most Likely Motives Behind Trump’s Flip-Flop On Ukraine
It remains to be seen whether the US will escalate and what form that would take if so, but any moves in that direction would compel Russia to either escalate in kind or compromise with the US to avoid World War III. Russia might also preemptively escalate to deprive the US of its expected advantages if Putin is convinced that this is inevitable, but that could also be spun to justify an even greater US escalation. The proxy war has therefore reached a very dangerous point where tensions might soon spiral out of control. https://korybko.substack.com/p/the-five-most-likely-motives-behindJudge Napolitano interviews Gilbert Doctorow:

NATO Has Already ‘Declared Real War’ On Russia Through Ukraine, Lavrov Says
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov addressed a meeting of G20 foreign ministers on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly meeting in New York on Thursday, and he really unleashed, going after NATO and the European Union for declaring a real war on Russia through Ukraine.
His remarks came on the heels of NATO warning Russia it is prepared to defend “every inch of allied territory” after Estonia said that Russian fighter jets had violated its airspace last week. He started by accusing the Western alliance of failing to adhere to the principles of the UN Charter, which he described as “a manifestation of neocolonial ambitions, [which] leads to increased global instability and breeds regional conflicts.”
“A clear example is the crisis in Ukraine, provoked by the collective West, through which NATO and the European Union want to declare, in fact, have already declared a real war on my country and are directly participating in it,” Lavrov said.
“The escalation in the Middle East is in the same row,” Lavrov continued. “The unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza has already claimed the lives of 65,000 people, and some UN officials working in the Middle East say there are estimates that the death toll is 10 times higher. None of Israel’s neighbors can feel safe; we see this every day.” https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/if-nato-shoots-down-russian-plane-it-would-be-war-ambassador-warnsRussia Mocks Trump’s ‘Paper Tiger’ Remark, Says Ukraine Cannot Take Back Territory https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/russia-mocks-trumps-paper-tiger-remark-says-ukraine-cannot-take-back-territory
John Helmer jokes about UN escalator mischief: POWER CUT FOR TRUMP — THE RUSSIAN GENERAL STAFF ESCALATES THE ELECTRIC WAR
In his UN script and then his answers to reporters on meeting Vladimir Zelensky for six minutes, Trump repeated factoids, slogans, and jingles. “Frankly, Ukraine is doing a very good job of stopping this very large army. It’s pretty amazing. You know, this is a war that should have ended in three days, four days. People said it was going to be very quick and you got to hand it to the Ukrainian soldiers and everybody involved…Russia doesn’t look very distinguished having taken three and a half years now, right? It’s about three and a half years of very hard fighting. And it looks like it’s not going to end for a long time.”
He also repeated last week’s line that “in the event that Russia is not ready to make a deal to end the war, then the United States is fully prepared to impose a very strong round of powerful tariffs… But for those tariffs to be effective, European nations would have to join us in adopting the exact same measures… they have to immediately cease ALL energy purchases from Russia.”
Trump hasn’t said — isn’t saying — what his deal terms are for President Vladimir Putin or what he doesn’t accept in Putin’s terms...

Participant John Leake raises a question I recall from 24 years ago: Who Bought the Put Options on Airline Stocks Shortly Before 9/11?
Tucker Carlson’s “The 9/11 Files” is a true and preposterous black comedy about a fantastically rotten government. https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/who-bought-the-put-options-on-airline When Empires Die, Jeff Thomas
Any empire, at its peak, is all-powerful, but the fragility of an empire that’s in decline is hard to grasp, as the visuals tend not to reveal what’s soon to come.
Great countries are built upon traditional values – industriousness, self-reliance, honour, etc. But empires are distinctly different. Although it may seem to be a moot point, an empire is a great country whose traditional values have led it to become unusually prosperous. There are many countries, both large and small, that are “great” in their formative values, but only a few become empires.
Yes, the prosperity is brought about through traditional values, but a great country becomes an empire only when its prosperity is sufficient to allow it to branch out – to invade other lands – to plunder their assets and subjugate their peoples…
..We understand that the tiny island of Britain achieved its empire by covering the world with colonies that it had taken by force.
In every case, the pattern was the same – expand, conquer, plunder, dominate.
As a British subject, my childhood understanding was that previous empires had come about through nefarious pursuits, but I was encouraged to believe that the British empire was somehow different…
..Around 1900, the then-great country of the US sought to achieve empire and, at that time, its president, Teddy Roosevelt, was insatiable in his desire to conquer foreign lands, both near (Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador, Panama, Puerto Rico, Cuba) and far (Hawaii, Philippines, Japan).
The results of his efforts were mostly successful, and although the countries taken were not called colonies, they were certainly intended to be vassal states. And there can be no question the US government’s methods were no kinder than that of the Huns. Some locations, like Hawaii, went fairly peacefully, whilst others, like the Philippines, required brutal slaughter on a grand scale.
..And such tactics change the nature of a “great” country…
..In most cases, this plants the seeds of empirical collapse. The empire, even as it’s growing, is rotting from within, with deteriorating principles and morality – the very traits that created it.
This, in turn, causes the empire to develop a habit of subjugation – even over its friends and allies abroad – those countries that got on board to take part in the prosperity. While, to some extent, these loyalties by other nations are genuine, they are treated as lesser nations, eventually causing resentment of the empire.
As such, in the latter days of the empire, ally nations become toadies. Their hatred for the empire is palpable, but they maintain their obeisance, grudgingly…
..In its latter days, an empire becomes hollowed out. It’s burdened with a costly and top-heavy government. The middle class is expected to provide largess to the masses through bread & circuses, providing fealty for the political class. Traditional values are largely gone, and “everyone seeks to live off everyone else.”
At this point, the empire is a mere superstructure – one that’s becoming increasingly unsound. Importantly, the prosperity that made empire possible is replaced by the illusion of prosperity – debt.
Concurrently, the political class becomes increasingly tyrannical in order to hold the collapsing edifice together. In the final stages, tyrannical efforts increase in both frequency and magnitude in order to maintain the subjugation of the masses for as long as possible...
..With each election, the electorate hopes that somehow, a champion will spring forth and “put everything back the way it was.”
But it’s important to note that, historically, this never occurs. Whilst the average citizen hopes in vain for his political leaders to “wake up” and stop all the nonsense, he fails to grasp that, to the political leader, the most important pursuit is power… The political class has no intention of relinquishing even a small amount of power for the good of the people he was elected to represent...
..In its final stage prior to collapse, the empire sells out its toadies and is therefore no longer of any benefit to them. Suddenly, the empire becomes a liability. And, at this point, those who have had to tolerate the indignity of being toadies look forward to a fall, even a partial one, by the empire...
..Historically, when an empire dies, all the notes suddenly come due.
The political class of any empire arrogantly depends upon allies to do as they’re told, yet, when a decisive blow is dealt to the empire, those who had once been loyal allies are now as ready to abandon the empire as rats would abandon a sinking ship...
..Editor’s Note: Like every empire before it, the US is straining under the weight of debt, corruption, and overreach. History shows these trends don’t reverse—they end in collapse. https://internationalman.com/articles/when-empires-die/The $US value in gold is 1/100 what it was in 1971. https://www.kitco.com/charts/gold

Just be aware of how desperate the Nato warmongers are to drag you in̈to fighting Russia.September 26, 2025 at 2:05 am #196446John Day

Which will be worst? India, China, Europe, & The US Are On Very Different Population Paths

This means that after 30 years the actual situation could perhaps turn into a cost of 800 trillion dollars, requiring 2-3 Chinas to manufacture and maintain, with twice as much infrastructure load and environmental damage caused by mining.
I also calculated how much the global population would have to be reduced for a system like this to be feasible within 30 years. The result was that it would have to be reduced down to 1.2-1.5 billion. That sounds like a familiar number – doesn’t it?
My opinion is that the ‘150 trillion’ net-zero number is a deception carried out by a trivialization PR campaign. It is intended to trick us into embarking on a journey which will lead to ruin. Also keep in mind that if it’s a lie (which it is), why would the ‘problem’ part of the equation be true? Perhaps they were also lying about us all turning into rotisserie chickens.
According to DeepSeek in ‘specific question mode’ – net-zero cannot be achieved in the 30 year time frame – and the industrial build-up and investment is completely undoable. It will require different solutions, new technologies, and 100 years instead of 30. The alternative is to kill 85% of the human race. https://gaiusbaltar.substack.com/p/rant-1-lying-pr-weasels-and-theirSeptember 26, 2025 at 2:06 am #196447John Day

Trump Told Muslim Leaders He Would Not Allow Israel To Annex the West Bank
Ugly Adelson gave Trump 100 million and one of the conditions was that he would allow Netanyahu to take the west bank; Trump accepted the money. Nobody in their right mind could possibly think that Trump has any control over Netanyahu, all he does is obey, any “not allow” is pure fantasy.
