Charlie Kirk's 9/11

 Peaceful Citizens,


  Gaius Baltar, WORLD WAR III SITUATION REPORT
  The global situation is, to put it mildly, getting interesting. Various scenarios are possible, few of them good – particularly for the West. The fog of war makes the situation unclear, and the fog of the mind in the West makes the future even more unclear...
..Europe has transitioned from a Garden of Eden on its way to rule the world through superior morality, sustainability regulations, and carbon taxes, into a desperate sewer. Her leaders crawl around, barking at each other; licking the boots of the man they hate the second most: Donald Trump.
  In the US the situation is almost as bad. The current priority of the US Government is to hide the bankruptcy of the country by pretending to sell treasuries while faking inflation numbers caused by money printing. The Biden neoliberals are quiet in their burrows while the exceptionalists and neocons have obviously contracted rabies. Others are not doing what America tells them to do. How can that be? We thought we were gods! ...
..For a long time, probably at least the last 30-40 years, the West has needed ‘free’ wealth from the non-western world to survive as the degrowth plan was carried out. That, however, was only supposed to be temporary. As the West secured its global dominance, the non-western economies would go through degrowth as well. All the wealth in the world would migrate upward to the Financier Cabal, and everyone else would live their lives as renters – if they were allowed to live at all...
​..Money printing is essentially an indirect tax on the population. The dollar, however, is the global reserve currency. It is used globally in trade – and a huge part of global debt is in dollars. This means that when the United States prints money to run the government and to keep the economy going, the entire world will absorb the resulting inflation – not just the United States.
​  This also means that when the United States runs its government at a deficit, and falsifies its economy through debt increase, the entire world will experience inflation as a result and suffer a drop in living standards. US deficits and money printing are thus basically a tax on the world. This tax allows the US to operate its global empire.
​  Until now the non-western world has been forced to go along with this taxation because the West has monopolized the international financial and trading systems – another source of western revenue. Stray away from the dollar and you’ll be excluded from the system, regime-changed or invaded. This is now changing – and not in a small way.
​  If the global use of the dollar decreases, the ‘absorption area’ for dollar inflation will decrease. More and more of the inflation caused by printing dollars will therefore impact the United States – and countries with currencies attached to the dollar – which happen to be the European countries. If spending in the West remains the same (or increases) while the use of the dollar decreases globally – the result will be hyperinflation in the West and a collapse – first economic and then social. We are seeing this happen right now.
​  The reserve dollar is the West’s weakness – and it’s a mortal weakness.​..
..The US elites use the dollar and its reserve currency status to suck wealth from the entire world. They also use the well-known US domestic ‘wealth pump’ to suck the life out of the US working and middle classes.
​  All this stolen and extorted money is then used to finance the entire western Cabal/Deep State – including their enforcers (the US Military & NATO, the Intelligence Services, Al-Qaeda, HTS/ISIS, Israel, Ukraine, and various other sociopaths), the Military-Industrial Complex, and the European Union.
​  In other words, the thing financing all this evil is the reserve-currency dollar. Without the reserve status of the dollar, money can’t be collected from the non-western world, and money can’t be printed and borrowed endlessly inside the United States. Without the reserve dollar, all the neocons, the trans/woke neolibs, the Cabal companies running America, and the European Union elites, will lose their shirts – and their power over their slave populations.
​  For them there is no solution other than to maintain the reserve status of the dollar. No other option is even remotely possible at this point. The US cannot truly reindustrialize without a bloody revolution to remove the Cabal companies and the managerial class sucking the life out of the country, and Europe cannot reindustrialize without the same thing happening – and because they have no resources to do so. Fixing Europe or fixing America economically in the short or even medium term is just delusional nonsense. It’s not going to happen.
​  As a reserve currency the dollar has not only financed all this evil – all the wars, all the terrorism, all the mass murders, all the regime changes – and global oppression. It has also allowed the Cabal to finance a monstrous and parasitic (woke and incompetent) managerial class and to destroy the middle and working classes of the United States and EuropeHaving a reserve currency is a curse like no other ...
..Someone probably sat down with Trump and ‘explained’ this to him. The fate of the Financier Cabal and the Deep State is now intertwined with America’s fate, and it’s time to accept that and act accordingly. As a result he mostly gave up on his reindustrialization ideas and decided to go all in defending the dollar.​..
..The Deep Staters and the EU elites aren’t imagining things. The dollar is as good as dead as a global reserve currency, and they are screwed. The only option is war for the survival of the dollar, and the survival of the western elites. The western people and the western countries only exist now as assets to be sacrificed to win that war.​..
..The main property of the current situation is its urgency. The western globalist machine is being defunded NOW. Our rulers are losing their power NOW. Western countries are going bankrupt NOW. Things are going to hell NOW. This has finally dawned on our ruling class and they are panicking...
..The first order of business is to neutralize the threat against the dollar – which comes from the new trading and financial mechanisms developed by the BRICS countries. This will primarily be carried out by the United States and Britain – with help from the European Union where necessary.
​  The first phase of this plan is Trump’s tariff threats against BRIC states, primarily Brazil and India. So far, this has failed catastrophically because it unified BRICS countries rather than breaking them apart. Since failure proves nothing in the neocon world, this phase is still ongoing.​..
..The second, third, fourth, and so forth phases of the plan are terrorism and war. The goal is to chip away at BRICS and associated countries using military force, terrorism and regime change operations. Countries perceived as vulnerable and isolated will be targeted first...
..The main goal of this phase is to fracture BRICS by creating chaos, and if necessary to wage outright war. The secondary goal is to steal their oil and other resources...
War plan II – Russia
This part of the plan will primarily be carried out by the European Union and Britain, with critical logistics and intelligence support from the United States.​..
..The EU plan can be split into a defensive plan and an offensive plan – or an inside plan and an outside plan...
..The inside plan is intended to maintain control over the European Union while the war against Russia and the BRICS is ongoing. The situation in Europe is serious and there is a possibility of major crisis in three key countries: Britain, France and Germany...
..We can expect massive increase in censorship and arrests of dissenters. Zero tolerance policy will be adopted and people will be arrested for anything which may be interpreted as critical of their governments or the EU as a whole...
..Elections will be rigged wherever necessary and results canceled if the rigging fails...
..Political parties will be either banned or excluded from participating in elections. Political leaders will be increasingly banned from elections and/or jailed...
..Political murders and assassinations will be stepped up... This has apparently already started with the rather obvious murders of AfD candidates in Germany...
..Regime changes will most likely be attempted in Hungary, Slovakia and Serbia...
..Maintaining control is all-important for the EU because this is where its greatest weakness can be found...
..The outside (offensive) plan
The West has, apparently, performed a new analysis on the situation using their Masters of Strategy. They have come to the conclusion that a short and decisive victory over Russia is impossible...
..Instead the West has decided to adopt the Russian method of war by attrition. Maintain pressure long enough and Russia will eventually fracture through exhaustion...
..The narcissistic nature of the EU elites and their desperate situation has turned Europe into a rabid dog. You don’t negotiate with a rabid dog. Everybody knows how a rabid dog needs to be handled. Any ideas the Russians might still have about a long-term deal involving the EU are delusional...
..At the moment the EU has a lot of weaknesses, including economic, social, and competence related. The main weakness, however, is its cohesion problem. The EU is on the verge of fracturing and needs to be held together by force – as we saw earlier. The most effective proactive actions would be ones which would ‘overload’ the EU’s cohesion measures...
..The only realistic way to break Brussels’s siege of Europe is to provide an alternative to EU countries. That can only be done through ‘physical proximity.’ In other words, Russia needs to provide European countries with physical route out of the EU gulag. This can only be done by moving the Russian Army up to the EU borders and to occupy territory adjacent to them...
..This would require the Russian Army to seize south-western Ukraine, including Odessa, up to the Romanian and Moldovan borders...

..This action would be the equivalent of stabbing an awl through a plate of glass. It would be punctured, and fractures would form. Countries in the south-eastern part of the EU would be provided with a choice – including the one of joining the BRICS.​..
..The other option is just to wait it out and allow it to disintegrate on its own. That might take time and no one likes being constantly bitten by a rabid dog that just won’t die.​   https://gaiusbaltar.substack.com/p/world-war-iii-situation-report

​  Simplicius, Exhausted Europe Shudders, as French Government Collapses...Again
This has now resulted in Macron having to hand-pick a record fourth prime minister in just twelve months—or fifth in 24—a nearly unbelievable feat.​..
..The news appeared to cause France to eclipse Italy in yields for 10 year bonds for the first time since the Euro’s birth...
​..Without hesitation Macron has appointed Sebastien Lecornu as new prime minister, the same Lecornu who has been the defense minister of France for years, and under whose “leadership” the French military was sent packing from Africa, leading to the slow unraveling of the decaying former-power.​....In every corner of Europe you look, you find less and less trace of the endangered species of ‘democracy’. Britain has now jailed a man for calling someone a ‘muppet’ online, while “free speech” arrests are skyrocketing...
..Meanwhile in Germany, seven AfD candidates for elections reportedly died in a two-week span...
..Samantha Power was caught on a prank call admitting that huge amount of USAID investments went to keep Moldova within the globalist fold.
She even seems aware that what she’s doing is illegal and anti-democratic when she mentions Victoria Nuland’s “interference” and contrasts what ​she and USAID have been doing in Moldova as “more subtle” forms of “influence”.​..
..It’s clear the entire continent has been captured by the tyrannical arm of the global deep state...
..It seems everything surrounding the decrepit EU is on the brink of collapse. These diseased regimes are sleep-walking into disaster by ignoring virtually every root cause of their society’s numerous ills...
..In the US, things are not too far apart: new jobs numbers ‘revisions’ have deleted nearly one million “new jobs” that were meant to highlight the ‘strong economy’—it was the largest revision in history...​ 
​..That’s not to mention the continually emerging proof that any and all ‘growth’ in the US economy has come mostly by way of the AI-tech bubble... nearly 50% of all US GDP growth is attributable to Big Tech’s AI-related capital expenditures​...​ The only thing keeping the US economy ostensibly afloat at this point are migrants and the AI bubble...
..On a related note, Russian outlet MASH published what is claimed to be a French document obtained by Russian hackers showing a ‘secret’ European troop deployment plan for Ukraine.
​  European countries have developed a plan to occupy the territory of Ukraine — with the aim of seizing mineral deposits, logistics, and access to the sea. The organizer is the Armed Forces of France, and the goal is to recover the money given to Kyiv.
​  In the photo — a map titled Les forces conjointes de "Coalition de Volontaires" (Joint Forces of the "Coalition of Volunteers") dated April 16, 2025. Obtained by hackers from KillNet as a result of hacking the local network of the French Armed Forces' office. It shows the deployment scheme of foreign troops on the territory of Ukraine. In the corner is the name of the person responsible — the Chief of the General Staff of the French Armed Forces, General Thierry Burkhardt (who left the post in July 2025).
​  If the map and the secret meeting protocols of the "Coalition of Volunteers" obtained by hackers are to be believed, at least four countries are involved in the occupation — France, the United Kingdom, Poland, and Romania.
​  Paris plans to take the mineral resources for itself — their exploration, development, and sale. These are the Zhytomyr, Kharkiv, and Sumy regions. Inside: oil, gas, coal, gold, uranium, titanium, lithium, and nickel, already sold to Trump​                                                                                                          London — all logistics hubs. To control transportation and transfers.
​  Bucharest and Warsaw receive territories — all bordering Poland and Hungary, plus the Odessa region and access to the sea.​..
..What is most interesting about this—if true—is that France appears to be angling to make up for its vast resource losses in Africa, by laying claim to the most resource-rich parts of the Ukrainian heartland. Britain, on the other hand, seems content merely to control the most militarily strategic points in order to act as facilitator and mastermind.​..
..More and more sources believe the Western “coalition” now seeks to get Ukraine to agree to giving up everything from the contact line down in order to swiftly introduce such a peacekeeping force​ ... But as usual, this ignores the vast bulk of Russian demands, which are not merely territorial in nature, and therefore has no possible chance of being agreed to.​.. Putin again commented on the foreign-troops-in-Ukraine proposal, repeating that such troops would be targets for destruction​.   https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/exhausted-europe-shudders-as-french

​  EU 'Chat Control' Hinges On Germany's Decision
As the EU Council heads to vote on the so-called “Chat Control” law, Germany could prove the deciding factor.
​  Put forward by Denmark, the law would essentially eliminate encrypted messaging, requiring services such as Telegram, WhatsApp and Signal to allow regulators to screen messages before they are encrypted and sent.
​  Legislators from 15 member states of the EU have indicated support for the bill, but those countries do not constitute at least 65% of the EU population, meaning they need additional support.
​  Germany has been on the fence about supporting the law, and it could deal a major blow to privacy in Europe if it decides to support it.​

It failed miserably when the populists and the far left made significant gains. Now, the streets are full of angry Frenchmen, and the nation's stability is in question...  ​..French political observers believe it's only a matter of time before Macron will be forced to call for another snap election. This would please both the left and the right, who believe they can gain a majority in parliament. The result of another snap election will probably be the same as the last: a hung parliament and more unrest in the streets.  https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/france-flames-block-everything-protest-movement-sweeps-country

​  Caitlin Johnstone,  Thoughts On The Assassination Of Charlie Kirk
I don’t have much else to say on the subject, other than to tie it back in to the genocide in Gaza. Charlie Kirk was an enthusiastic cheerleader and propagandist for the Gaza holocaust, and the right wingers who’ve been talking about how gruesome they find the video of his assassination are accidentally confessing that they haven’t been watching the footage that’s being produced by the mass atrocity they support. If they had, someone getting shot in the throat wouldn’t feel like such a big deal to them.​   https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/thoughts-on-the-assassination-of

  ​"TJ" from Caitlin's comments: I think the Deep state Killed Charlie Kirk. Either Mossad or the CIA or some part of the American government. I also now believe the Trump shooting was staged.
  Charlie Kirk used to be a Israel loyalist. He feared that Israel would kill him if he started criticizing Israel, not much, but when you have sold your soul, even a bad word means you crossed the line. He let anti-zionists speak at his events. Someone shoots at his neck, and it wasn't your average civilian. It looked professional. The suspect arrested turned out to be a decoy so the real shooter could run away, this was carefully planned. Benjamin Netanyahu tweets about it just minutes after...  But...Why?
  It happened just hours ago and we barely know anything, but he was the perfect victim at the perfect time. 9/11 remembrance is tomorrow, and you can expect every social media and political figure for the next days to say "LOOK AT WHAT THE LEFTISTS HAD DONE TO THIS COUNTRY" Or something like that. They will undoubtly martyrize his death to clear the path for more extremist figures, don't forget at any moment that divide and conquer is their specialty.

  Meryl Nass MD,  The US is the land of political assassinations--which have shifted our political trajectory in very bad directions, over and over. RIP another martyr, Charlie Kirk
​  Charlie Kirk liked to debate, and debate respectfully. No subject was off the table. By doing so with wit and grace he bridged the gap between what we still call “right” and “left”—although those terms has lost their traditional meaning in today’s mixed up world. He was only 31. What heights he might have achieved had he been allowed to continue.
​  The powers that be do not want that gap bridged. They are constantly seeking to widen it. White against black. Oppressed women against men. Criminals against the law-abiding. Citizens against immigrants. Taxpayers against the half of us receiving federal benefits.
​  Those powers that be keep producing content to set us against each other. No matter what the issue is. Calls for violence in response to this assassination are mostly coming from them and their bot teams.​

​  Buying Time: Israel’s Rogue Attack on Qatar. Binoy Kampmark
It’s all part of a stratagem, bleak and brutal. With Palestinian recognition being promised by France, the UK, Canada and Australia at the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly, Israeli aggression is becoming more brazen and panicked. Time must be bought on one vital front: creating a Greater Israel, involving the annexation of Gaza and extinguishing, as far as possible, the power of the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank. What follows from this is the termination of Palestinian statehood altogether, including its political representatives.
​  Israel’s efforts have, for that purpose, focused on killing Hamas militants at enormous cost to Palestinian civilians while also attempting to eradicate the diplomatic presence of the organisation. The attack on a building in Doha, Qatar on September 9 was a case in point. The intention of the attack by the IDF, involving 15 Israeli fighter jets and an unspecified number of drones, was killing senior Hamas officials involved in discussing a ceasefire proposal advanced by US President Donald Trump.  Were it to be accepted, that proposal would see the release of all Israeli hostages (dead and alive) in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, followed by a ceasefire of 60 days duration and ongoing negotiations towards an agreement concluding the war. Qatar had been putting pressure on Hamas to accept the proposal.​..
​..Seven perished in the strike, with Qatar losing two security officers. Yet again, Israel’s military action demonstrated a reading of international law that tilts towards anarchical self-assurance, indifferent to any sovereignty that is not its own.​..    ​                                                                                                  ..Israeli Ambassador to the US, Yechiel Leiter, offered his dash of drivel by suggesting that this would “actually advance the efforts for a ceasefire and peace.” And as for the Hamas leaders, “if we didn’t get them this time, we’ll get them the next time.” ​...  ​                                                                      ..Qatar’s Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani ... drew the obvious conclusion. The strike had been motivated by Israel’s desire to eliminate “any chance of peace” in Gaza, and effectively sealed the fate of the Israeli hostages still being held in the Strip.​..  ​                            ..Even Israel’s least conditional sponsor felt that things had gone too far.​  “I’m not thrilled by it,” stated Trump as he arrived at a restaurant in Washington. “It’s not a good situation but I will say this: We want the hostages back, but we’re not thrilled about the way it went down today.”
​  He went further, saying he was “very unhappy about it, very unhappy about every aspect.” ​...                                                                                                           ..If Doha can be attacked with impunity, an American military presence becomes less impressive. This was a point Iran’s state-run Press TV found too delicious to avoid.​ “Did you know,” went the network’s post on X, “that Qatar hosts one of the US’s biggest military bases in the Persian Gulf, with many air defense systems present, yet none of the American THAAD systems fired a single shot to defend Qatar against the Israel invasion?”

​  Escape Key,  The Lenin Inversion
Lenin's Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism1 provides one of the most precise anatomies of financial concentration ever written. With methodical detail, he maps how banks evolve from simple intermediaries into monopolistic controllers of ‘almost the whole of the money capital’, developing what he calls ‘universal book-keeping’ that subordinates all economic life to a handful of institutions.
​  Lenin's structural analysis remains accurate. But his directional assumption — that a revolutionary state would subsume this concentrated financial apparatus — was inverted. Instead of a single state bank serving workers' control, we observe a supranational central-bank complex that has effectively subsumed state functions. Add the contemporary moral overlay of ESG mandates, ‘inclusive capitalism’, and social, environmental and intergenerational justice targets, and the ledger becomes purpose-gated: access to money depends on approved ends rather than market signals alone.
​  This inversion provides a direct path to an uncomfortable hypothesis: that — whatever their stated intentions — Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Bogdanov supplied the precise blueprint that central banking interests could later inhabit and operationalise...
..Alfred Zimmern's concept of the ‘Third British Empire’ pioneered this grammar: replace territorial conquest with administrative expertise serving universal principles. From imperial ‘civilising mission’ to League of Nations technical cooperation to today's ESG mandates — the same coordination logic, moralised as ‘global stewardship’ rather than national interest.
​  Zimmern reframes empire as international social justice operating through economics, administered by experts — the prototype for a moralised, rules-first world economy. Contemporary ‘inclusive capitalism’ follows this template: centralised coordination justified through moral imperatives rather than democratic mandate.​  https://escapekey.substack.com/p/the-lenin-inversion

Vietnam has erased and/or frozen 86 million unverified bank accounts as the nation surrenders to the globalist Great Reset. Anyone wishing to function in society must surrender their biometric data to maintain a bank account. The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) claims that the measure was a system cleanup aimed at preventing fraud. In actuality, the measure is one step closer toward a national ID system that enables the government to control its citizens’ every move.
​  “This is a data-cleansing revolution,” said Pham Anh Tuan, Director of the Payment Department. “While the total number of bank accounts remains 200 million, by September 2025, once the legal framework is complete, all accounts without biometric data will be closed to prevent scams and fraud. After seven years of promoting non-cash payments, we are moving toward real efficiency.”​

Shifting Priorities

 Increasingly Unsettled,


  Moon of Alabama comments on a Politico article (shrinking beats collapsing): When The Pentagon Shifts Its Priorities Will U.S. Strategy Follow?
Is this a sign of a shift in the global U.S. strategy?
  Pentagon officials are proposing the department prioritize protecting the homeland and Western Hemisphere, a striking reversal from the military’s yearslong mandate to focus on the threat from China.
 A draft of the newest National Defense Strategy, which landed on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s desk last week, places domestic and regional missions above countering adversaries such as Beijing and Moscow, according to three people briefed on early versions of the report.
  The move would mark a major shift from recent Democrat and Republican administrations, including President Donald Trump’s first term in office, when he referred to Beijing as America’s greatest rival. And it would likely inflame China hawks in both parties who view the country’s leadership as a danger to U.S. security.
  “This is going to be a major shift for the U.S. and its allies on multiple continents,” said one of the people briefed on the draft document. “The old, trusted U.S. promises are being questioned.”
  The National Defense Strategy (NDS) is written by the office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy which currently is held by arch-Realist Elbridge Colby.
The draft of the new NDS seems to be a contradiction of his previous beliefs
:
  Identifying as a realist, Colby believes China is the principal threat faced by the United States. He believes the US should shift its military resources to Asia to prevent a Chinese takeover of Taiwan. Colby supports reducing military aid to Ukraine. During the AUKUS review in 2025, Elbridge pressured Australia to confirm what role it would play in a war with China over Taiwan.
  Colby wants to change U.S. defense policy from concentrating on China, as he had previously argued, to the Western Hemisphere. He may have seen new facts that have moved his opinion.
  The failed attempt by the U.S. Navy to secure shipping through the Red Sea against attacks by Houthi in Yemen may have caused such rethink. As may have the loss of the US/NATO's proxy war against Russia in Ukraine.
  Or did he compare videos of the 'woke' U.S. military parade in Washington DC (vid) earlier this year with the recent flawless one in China (vid)? The difference was indeed glaring. It demonstrated that the U.S. has no chance of winning in a war against China.
  Trump seems to concede that China is winning: Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump - Sep 04, 2025, 22:14 UTC
"Looks like we’ve lost India and Russia to deepest, darkest, China. May they have a long and prosperous future together!" President Donald J. Trump
  It is difficult to believe though that the Trump administration will be able to change U.S. grand strategy. Any change  will typically happen only at a snail's pace. It would need all party support over multiple administrations. The pivot to Asia was launched by the Obama administration in 2010 and has since has been followed by all later ones.
  More from Politico:
 Elbridge Colby, the Pentagon’s policy chief, is leading the strategy. He played a key role in writing the 2018 version during Trump’s first term and has been a staunch supporter of a more isolationist American policy. Despite his long track record as a China hawk, Colby aligns with Vice President JD Vance on the desire to disentangle the U.S. from foreign commitments.
  Colby’s policy team is also responsible for a forthcoming global posture review, which outlines where U.S. forces are stationed around the globe, and a theater air and missile defense review, which takes stock of U.S. and allies’ air defenses and makes recommendations for where to locate American systems. The Pentagon is expected to release both reviews as soon as next month.
  It is expected that the new global posture review will move U.S. military resources from Europe, and probably also from Asia, back to the States.

  Alex Krainer, Of empires and famines
British Empire used famine as a weapon of war dozens of times. It will continue to do so until it is defeated and quarantined from the rest of humanity. The unbearable, yet persisting blight on humanity today is the deliberate starvation of the two million Palestinian people in Gaza, or however many are still left alive. The figure is probably closer to 1.5 million. It may seem like the worst thing humanity has witnessed since who knows when except that, unfortunately, it’s only the most recent and most widely reported example of the empire’s monstrous misdeeds...
..The true nature of the Western empire has been carefully concealed from us behind the glossy façade of the Western “civilization.” Today’s empire is a reincarnation of the undead British Empire, whose DNA it still carries. The more we learn about this empire, the uglier it looks. As an example, it seems that many, if not most of the famines recorded in history weren’t natural disasters nor consequences of wars but results of deliberate policy aimed at subjugating populations and forcing them to accept colonial control and slavery.
  This may seem like an exaggeration, but British statesman and Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli explicitly said as much himself. He explained that the objective of the British Empire was to
  “Gain and hold territories that possess the largest supplies of the basic raw materials. Establish naval bases around the world to control the sea and commerce lanes. Blockade and starve into submission any nation or group of nations that opposes this empire control program.” (Knuth, E.C. “Empire of the City,” 1946, p. 57) ...
..Are things any better today? Perpetrating a genocide may be a matter of necessity, reserved only for the unruly, uppity subjects, but as we can see, it is still practiced, even in full light of day. Indeed, the empire’s DNA and its mindset never changed, and this is who rules over us to this day.
 In April 1974, Henry Kissinger, then Nixon's Secretary of State and National Security Adviser sent out a classified memo to select cabinet officials. The title of the memo was, "Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for US Security and Overseas Interests," and it was commissioned on the recommendation of John D. Rockefeller III and came to be called, more famously, NSSM 200, for National Security Study Memorandum 200.
  In it, Kissinger addressed the difficulty of controlling resource rich areas of the world against the social pressures borne of growing world populations and went on to suggest the kinds of coercive measures the US should consider. He bluntly stated that food aid should be considered as "an instrument of national power," and that the US should ration food aid to "help people who can't or won't control their population growth."
  The NSSM 200 made depopulation in foreign developing countries an explicit, if secret, national security priority of the United States for the first time. In that, the policy of the British Empire was simply grafted onto the US foreign policy...
..In July of 2022, the UN published an article titled, “The Benefits of World Hunger,” by one George Kent. Kent is a university professor, of course. He argued that, “hunger has great positive value to many people,” which might be correct. In particular, it would have great positive value to people like John D. Rockefeller III and whoever pays Mr. Kent’s tenure at the University of Hawaii.
  Kent explained why hunger is so very beneficial: “… it is fundamental to the working of the world’s economy. Hungry people are the most productive people, especially where there’s need for manual labour.”...
..What the Israelis are doing in Gaza (and in the West Bank and south Lebanon) today, may really seem unique and unprecedented in its unhinged savagery, but sadly, it isn’t. The collective punishment of an entire people, indiscriminate killing of tens of thousands and forced starvation of all others is the Empire’s long established modus operandiIsrael, which is the creation of that Empire, is implementing it faithfully.   https://alexkrainer.substack.com/p/of-empires-and-famines

  US In 'Very Deep Negotiations' With Hamas To End Gaza Conflict, Trump Says
Trump reiterated calls for Hamas to release all of the remaining hostages in a bed to end the carnage.

That’s my opinion. Israel’s choice, but that’s my opinion,” the president said during a White House press briefing.

Hamas has claimed in an official statement that Israel failed in its attempt to assassinate the group's negotiations team; however, it acknowledged that five of its members were killed in the Tuesday Israeli aerial attack on Doha, including the son of the group's chief negotiator Khalil Al-Hayya.
  There's been some back-and-forth on whether the US greenlighted the operation ahead of time, but reports say the White House was informed once the operation had already been ordered by Netanyahu. Trump officials then quickly informed Qatar.

  Escape Key traces the history:  A Marshall Plan for Ukraine - From conditional aid to conditional governance
  The Marshall Plan didn't just rebuild Europe — it installed a new operating system for governance. What began as conditional aid (money for compliance with planning requirements) evolved into today's global architecture where access to finance, trade, and legitimacy depends on performance against expert-defined metrics.
  This system now operates through six enforcement rails: accreditation, finance, credentials, audit, data, and procurement. Ukraine demonstrates all six rails operating simultaneously under emergency conditions, serving as a live prototype for planetary governance.
  The 2025 convergence of the WHO Pandemic Agreement and UN Emergency Platform creates a standing switchboard to activate these mechanisms globally during future declared ‘complex shocks’...
..Sovereignty itself is not technically abolished — it is routed through dashboards packed with arbitrary metric frameworks such as the SDG indicators, WHO Health Indicators, and Aichi biodiversity targets. States retain symbolic sovereignty while decisive authority migrates to expert networks managing global indicators and controlling financial penalties for non-compliance...
..Michel Crozier (2007/2008) — ‘Recursive Governance: Contemporary Political Communication and Public Policy‘ provides a foundational analysis of how modern policy systems have evolved from linear command structures into multi-loop communication systems that continuously rewrite their own rules...
..Computational ethics research explores how normative constraints can be formalised into algorithmic decision-making systems. This work provides the conceptual bridge from 'standards and audits' to algorithmic enforcement of compliance requirements, showing how ethics frameworks can be converted into machine-readable protocols that operate automatically within procurement, finance, and access control systems. This research shows how the enforcement rails can operate as 'moral machines' that embed value judgements into technical infrastructure...
..A common response is that rather than opposing this system entirely, we could propose procedural checks that preserve its coordination benefits while preventing authoritarian drift — because ‘the system really does address genuine issues’...
..Granted, these steps would progress us towards making the system democratically accountable. However, they wouldn’t technically stop adaptive management. Yet, none of these will be up for debate for the very same reason it has never been debated in the first place: You’re not supposed to know...
..Bailey’s tradition identified 2025 as the year of ‘externalisation of the hierarchy’ — when esoteric principles would surface through world institutions. The convergence of the WHO Pandemic Agreement and UN Emergency Platform can be read as the institutional materialisation of that forecast: what Bailey framed as enlightened world government appears, in practice, as adaptive governance systems that continually adjust themselves through expert oversight and algorithmic feedback...
..This framework clarifies why technocratic governance feels constitutional rather than merely bureaucratic. Each enforcement rail operationalises a fundamental archetype of legitimate authority — power, wisdom, intelligence, harmony, knowledge, devotion, and order. The system’s effectiveness lies in its ability to invoke these deep patterns of legitimacy while at the same time inverting their expression into control mechanisms that operate beyond democratic oversight.   https://escapekey.substack.com/p/a-marshall-plan-for-ukraine

​  A man stands behind a woman, his arms raised in a frenzy. She sits, focused on her phone, oblivious to the danger behind her. He is about to slash her neck and leave her to bleed to death.
​ The man is black. The woman is white.
And their races are no coincidence.
​  Black men commit a huge amount of violent crime in the United States.
Every statistic confirms this fact. Black people made up almost 47,000 of the 81,000 murder suspects whose race was known to police in the last five years, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Most of those killers are men.
​  Put another way, black men, who make up about one-fourteenth of the American population, commit over half of the homicides.
In some cities, the disparities are so stunning as to nearly defy belief. St. Louis has about the same number of black and white people, about 130,000, along with 40,000 Asians and Latinos. So far this year, St. Louis police have identified 83 murder suspects. None are Asian or Latino. Three are white.​ The other 80 are black, 73 men and seven women.​

​  I'd write "Joe Biden", myself: Was Joe Biden Worse Than Jeffrey Epstein?
Did Joe Biden's border policies enable exploitation on a scale that makes Epstein look like a small-time operator?​ ...
​..Now, thanks to President Trump's commitment to cleaning up this mess, we're getting our first real look at the carnage Biden left behind. According to an exclusive report from Fox News Digital, the Trump administration has assembled a dedicated team to track down these missing children, and what they've found should haunt every American parent. So far, they've located over 22,000 children and arrested more than 400 sponsors.
​  Authorities sadly found that 27 children died from murder, suicide, or drug overdoses.
​  But the living children may have suffered even worse fates. "We found children who have been raped," says John Fabbricatore, senior advisor at the HHS Office of Refugee Resettlement. The team has uncovered cases of debt bondage, where children work as virtual slaves to pay off trafficking debts.

​  Tick, tick,  tick ... The Gamechanger: Merz Plunges Germany Into A Debt Crisis
Political chaos in Berlin, including early elections and failed budget negotiations, delayed the adoption of the federal budget this year. On Friday, the Union parties reached agreement with the SPD in the Budget Committee on the final budget. Germany will spend €502.55 billion over the course of the year, continuing its fiscal record chase – year after year, the political circus demands ever-increasing allocations.
​  There is no talk of austerity or structural consolidation of state finances, despite the deep economic depression in the private sector. Still, on Friday, the term “gamechanger” circulated in coalition circles with regard to the budget.​

​  Sacre Bleu Monday​ By Michael Every of Rabobank
As expected, the French government collapsed yesterday, leaving the country in political chaos just as it needs to deal with massive economic and national security challenges. President Macron has ruled out a snap election.​..
​..Moreover, US Treasury Secretary Bessent threatened to punch FHFA Director Pulte in the face, with additional expletives. That likely burgeoned his reputation in some circles: the man who as a young trader broke the Bank of England for Soros in 1992 arguably now wants to break the international financial architecture, and in the US’ favour. While many in DM who don’t see it, those in EM do – albeit in exaggerated form.
​  Putin advisor Kobyakov just stated: “The US is now trying to rewrite the rules of the gold and cryptocurrency markets. Remember the size of their debt - $35 trillion. These two sectors --crypto and gold-- are essentially alternatives to the traditional global currency system. Washington’s actions in this area clearly highlight one of its main goals: to urgently address the declining trust in the dollar. As in the 1930s and the 1970s, the US plans to solve its financial problems at the world’s expense, this time by pushing everyone into the “crypto cloud.” Over time, once part of the US national debt is placed into stablecoins, Washington will devalue that debt. Put simply: they have a $35 trillion currency debt, they’ll move it into the crypto cloud, devalue it, and start from scratch. That’s the reality for those who are so enthusiastic about crypto.”​

​  The Debt Surge Ahead​  Haven't we just passed by a dead end sign?​  
This banking system of ours is a Ponzi scheme on epic proportions. Any interest rate above 0.0% guarantees that loans (and therefore the money supply) will eventually spiral out of control — except for a debt jubilee, or at least discovering another habitable planet chuck full of resources every once in a while. 
​  Other than these two options, debt levels will eventually run out of control — and this is a mathematical certainty, not an opinion. 
​  So to answer the questions posed by the departure of energy prices from already too high debt levels: another surge in the debt to GDP ratio seems highly unlikely. If it were to happen, the resulting (hyper-)inflation would kill the economy and “force” central banks to raise interest rates significantly (and thereby kill raw material and energy supply). 
​  If debt levels remain the same despite growing energy prices, on the other hand, households and businesses alike will become unable to pay for energy and other critical material inputs, leading to a crash in consumption and quite possibly a combination of deflation and economic decline. Well, damned if you do​; damn​ed if you don’t. Honestly, what did we expect? Infinite growth to last forever?​   https://thehonestsorcerer.substack.com/p/the-debt-surge-ahead

  You Will Forget Reading This: Full Spectrum Surveillance Lies Behind the J6 Committee Motive to Delete all Investigative Material
The J6 Committee used interfaces with the NSA database and pre-existing portals with aligned DHS Social Media databases (including Twitter, see prior “Twitter Files”), as research and evidence gathering mechanisms for their investigations.
​  The J6 targets were identified through a collaboration between the legislative research group and the FBI. [That’s unlawful by the way – but that’s another matter]. The FBI contracted Palantir to identify the targets using facial recognition software and private sector databases.
​  Once identified, the targets were then searched in the NSA database for a fulsome context of identity. All subsequent electronic metadata of the targets was retrieved and utilized in prosecution; however, no one ever discovered this was the collaborative method. That has not come out yet.
​  Ultimately, the J6 Committee hiding and deleting their files and operational techniques was due to several issues. They really didn’t have a choice given the unknowns of an incoming republican majority.
​  First, the collaboration with the FBI is unconstitutional. Legislative officers are not law enforcement officers. There is a separation of powers issue.
Second, ultimately – and most consequentially – all of the participants did not want the American public aware of the mass surveillance techniques that were carried out as part of the ’round up.’...
..The modern application of the fifty-year-old concept around FISA as a constitutional mechanism to search the private papers (data) of American citizens, is a fraud, a complete ruse.
​  The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, FISA, represents the method used by the intelligence apparatus of the FBI to conduct surveillance. It was purposefully designed, as a method to avoid the problems with 4th amendment protections. However, the modern application of the FISA justification has no lawful basis.
​  CONTEXT – Beginning in/around 2012, after the Dept of Justice National Security Division was created by President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder, the use of FISA warrants were extended to include electronic searches of captured information held within the National Security Agency (NSA).  This was the database into which former NSA employee Edward Snowden was creating the search engine software...
​..Currently, almost every American interfaces electronically with some system that captures their data.  In the private sector that data is then assembled, attributed and used for consumer product micro-targeting, i.e., all data is commercially monetized.
​  Local and state governments also interface with the federal government database. As a consequence, all data eventually flows to the NSA capture points where searches of the total assembly are possible.​

"If we hadn’t won this election we would have all been vaxxed to death and censored so no one could hear our dying screams" — Mike Benz on "X"
​  Looks like it will start this week with Robert F Kennedy, Jr., announcing the suspected culprits in the great autism question. That will rock the pharma industry to the very hairs on its roots. They have been trying since the 1980s to bury that idea that autism comes from anything they do. Next, the nation will have to ask: why did it take Mr. Kennedy only seven months to arrive at a plausible answer to the decades’ long autism mystery? Maybe because it was not such a difficult mystery to solve. Just that nobody wanted to collate and assemble the information. The answer was too ugly. So, they buried it on-purpose.
​  That set of revelations will segue soon enough into the reveal of facts, data, studies retrieved from the thought-to-be hidden files of the CDC, FDA, and NIH as to just how damaging the Covid-19 vaccinations really were. . . which will lead to answers as to how the various agencies under HHS (and likely the Pentagon, too) conspired to materialize the Covid virus in the first place, and that means the names and titles of actual persons who did it: the deputy secretaries of this and that, higher-ups, folks in dark NGOs. . . and all that will combine with new information about the supremely messed-up election of 2020, and so on down the long line of the many related, serial coup operations.​

​  The long-hidden smoking-gun study​ (can we also remove junk food now?)BREAKING: Henry Ford Birth Cohort: Vaxxed vs. Unvaxxed, Reported Vaccinated Kids Had 453% More Neurodevelopmental Disorders — 57% Rendered Chronically Ill
​   The largest vaccinated vs. unvaccinated birth cohort study in U.S. history (n=18,468) tracked children for 10 years — and revealed staggering increases in chronic disease among the vaccinated.
​  In his sworn testimony, Siri revealed the results of a long-hidden study from the Henry Ford Health System in Detroit, MI.
This is the largest vaccinated vs. unvaccinated birth cohort study ever conducted in the United States (n=18,468). Children were tracked from birth over a 10-year period. The data were drawn directly from electronic medical records — the gold standard for real-world health outcomes.
​  The study’s official title: “Impact of Childhood Vaccination on Short- and Long-Term Chronic Health Outcomes in Children: A Birth Cohort Study.”​...
​..Compared to unvaccinated children, those who received one or more vaccines had dramatically higher rates of chronic illness:
329% more asthma
​  203% more atopic disease
496% more autoimmune disease
​  453% more neurodevelopmental disorders
  • including 228% more developmental delays
  • and 347% more speech disorders

Siri testified that all of these findings were statistically significant.
​  Even more striking: in conditions where unvaccinated children had zero cases (brain dysfunction, ADHD, learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, and tics), there were hundreds of cases among the vaccinated group.
  After 10 years, the bottom-line numbers were devastating:
57% of vaccinated children had at least one chronic health condition (often multiple).
​  Only 17% of unvaccinated children had any chronic illness. ​

​  A Midwestern Doctor, Why Do Vaccines Cause the Illnesses They Prevent - Revealing The Forgotten Science of Vaccine Disease Provocation
Many people notice they appear to become ill with the disease they are being vaccinated against (e.g., the flu or COVID) after receiving a vaccine.
​  •While this association is frequently ridiculed by medical profession, over a century of evidence exists that demonstrates it occurred for a variety of diseases (e.g., there is extensive literature on it for typhoid fever, tuberculosis, and polio), to the point it was previously termed “disease provocation.”
​ •Unfortunately, since the knowledge of disease provocation would decrease vaccine sales, it tends to “vanish” from the medical profession’s memory, leading to almost identical debacles happening a few decades later that doctors at the time were “baffled by” (e.g., we discuss how this happened with polio).
​  Disease provocation appears to be due to the immune system being diverted to targeting the vaccine’s antigen rather than doing it’s natural job. Since we frequently depend upon the immune system to control latent infections or recent ones currently in the incubation stage, that immunological diversion can lead to an existing infection spiraling out of control.
​  •In this article we review many examples of how this happened with infections in the past and highlight how this same process can cause vaccination to increase one’s risk of a severe flu infection, a severe COVID infection, a Lyme disease reactivation or a HPV infection progressing to cervical cancer.​
