Practicing Empathy,
The Charlie Kirk assassination stories are breaking fast, and the primary suspect, Tyler Robinson 22, was convinced by his father to turn himself in. This means that many details will be forthcoming. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/live-blog/charlie-kirk-shooter-manhunt-live-updates-rcna230762
There is video here if you scroll down halfway of a man in black running across the roof of the building and scampering down to the grass in back with a black bag that would hold a rifle broken down into 2 pieces, by the looks of it. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/day-3-charlie-kirks-assassin-still-large-new-footage-released-gop-demanding-probe-radical
There is a thread that the assassination was faked, but the crowd video that is provided with a video post asserting Holleywood faking, can be quickly frame-clicked through from 6:44 to see the shock to Kirk's body, a left anterior neck, dark bullet entry wound, and then blood exiting that dark hole. I'm convinced it is real. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw1Rdh8sOLM&rco=1
Here is a short video clip of Charlie explaining that when people stop communicating with each other they can depersonalize other groups and proceed to killing them. “When people stop talking, that’s when you get violence, that is when civil war happens” https://x.com/ChoooCole/status/1965874157004165495
From Sundance yesterday. This man had a very high IQ and perfect memory for details. The Incredible Articulation of Charles James Kirk
Sadly, I had not seen this video until after he was assassinated and it was shared on social media. That said, the intellectual capacity, the gift of articulation carried within the vessel Charlie Kirk represented, is evident in this video segment. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/09/11/the-incredible-articulation-of-charles-james-kirk/#more-275921Yesterday there was a video interview with Charlie Kirk that I put up, asserting that he had loosened up a lot on his support for Israeli genocide, was allowing alternate views to be voiced in debate, and was experiencing threats. It is no more on Reddit, today. https://www.reddit.com/r/TheDeprogram/comments/1ndzmyb/charli_kirk_mentioned_he_was_getting_messages/

Russia and Belarus are having their yearly huge-war-games now: Russian media claims Poland sending troop columns to border with Belarus
Polish media outlets are calling the Russian claims about Polish troop movements "false" https://rmx.news/article/russian-media-claims-poland-sending-troop-columns-to-border-with-belarus/Poland says NATO jets shot down multiple Russian drones and it invoked NATO's Article 4 in response https://news.antiwar.com/2025/09/10/russia-denies-that-it-launched-drones-into-poland/
2 days ago; surveillance drones: Poland has already found 12 drones – and none of them contain explosives https://en.topcor.ru/64074-v-polshe-nashli-uzhe-12-dronov-i-vse-oni-bez-vzryvchatki.html
Simplicius has lots of information: Russian Drones Allegedly Swarm Poland in Major Provocation...But Whose?
"Post from 09/08/2025 on the "Cartel" channel warning about the preparation of a provocation involving the sending of "pseudo-Russian" UAVs to the West. Actually, the plan was already carried out on September 10."
But how do we reconcile the fact that Belarus essentially admitted that wayward Russian drones were flying to Poland with this false flag angle? More likely it was a combination of all possible tactics, from real jammed drones to “prepared” ones that were made to look like they originated from Russia, as well as an information campaign to distribute fakes like the earlier ‘destroyed home’. One explanation:
In Poland, the wreckage of 12 Gerber UAVs was found during the day. All without a warhead, did not explode. Expensive missiles costing more than $ 2 million each were used to destroy some of them. In particular, the F-35A of the Dutch Air Force worked like this.
The most popular version is that the "Gerber" "mismatch" encountered a GPS blockade over one of Ukraine's air defense areas and flew to Poland (spoofing?). Gerbers are not equipped with 16-element CRPA antennas (ed: these are the special 16-element Komet GPS receivers now regularly seen in Shahed/Geran drones).
According to the second version, the Gerbers were launched from Ukraine. This version is supported by the large number of Gerber products, which exceeds 1,000. This is not typical for them.
The intent is obvious: another desperate ploy from Zelensky to get NATO involved, even if in small stepwise fashion. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/russian-drones-allegedly-swarm-poland
Warsaw and NATO officials condemned the "act of aggression" which they along with Ukrainian officials asserted was an intentional provocation.

“They've been trying to drag everyone into the war from the very beginning. It's obvious, it's in their interest, and it would be best if they could drag NATO countries into the war.

Including the US: UN Security Council condemns Israeli strikes targeting Qatar
UN Security Council members on Thursday condemned an Israeli attack on Qatar, and urged all sides to "seize the opportunity for peace,” while failing to name Israel.
"The members of the Security Council expressed their condemnation of the recent strikes in Doha, the territory of a key mediator, on 9 September," said a statement by Council members, which conveyed "deep regret at the loss of civilian life." "Council members underscored the importance of de-escalation and expressed their solidarity with Qatar," it added.

The Israeli attack comes after Trump had put forward a proposal for a 60-day ceasefire that would see the release of all Israeli captives in the first 48 hours of the agreement. In exchange, negotiations to permanently end the war on Gaza would commence, with personal guarantees from the U.S. President that Israel would engage in the negotiations “in good faith.”
Trump’s proposal would also see Hamas relinquish control over Gaza and give up its arms. Hamas has repeatedly said that it is willing to relinquish control over the Strip and allow for an independent technocratic government to rule in its stead, but has maintained that disarming remains a “red line” for the group. https://scheerpost.com/2025/09/10/israel-bombed-qatar-to-assassinate-hamass-lead-ceasefire-negotiators/

(Implied) Turkey In Netanyahu's Crosshairs For Harboring Hamas, After Qatar Strike
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has defended a recent airstrike on what Israel says was a Hamas headquarters in Doha, comparing the October 7 attacks to the September 11 terror attacks in the United States. The speech was given in the middle of this week, just before the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, warning that Hamas leaders will be hunted down wherever they are located, and putting countries like Qatar and even Turkey on notice.
Turkey has long expressed support to Hamas leadership. Though Netanyahu did not directly name Turkey, observers interpreted his remarks as a veiled threat to Ankara, which has long hosted senior Hamas officials. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/turkey-netanyahus-crosshairs-harboring-hamas-after-qatar-strike

Israeli media outlets, including the news site Mekomet, have reported that war between Israel and Egypt is increasingly viewed as only a matter of time.

"Israel" maintains plausible deniability: On the night of September 8-9, just after midnight, a boat that is part of a flotilla carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza was struck by an incendiary device off the coast of Tunisia. Members of the Global Sumud Flotilla say they heard a drone flying three or four metres above their heads before the device hit, causing a fire that damaged the boat but caused no injuries. A drone expert said that such devices can be dropped by commercially available consumer drones. https://www.france24.com/en/middle-east/20250909-gaza-flotilla-drone-attack-expert-analysis-greta-thunberg

Conor McGregor Slams Government ‘Traitors’ Pushing to Replace Irish With Migrants.
UFC legend and Irish presidential contender Conor McGregor has slammed Ireland’s Finance Minister as a “traitor” for saying mass migration is needed to solve Ireland’s demographic problems...
..“Get this Ireland, we need more people hurriedly brought in, under full government subsidy, in order to support the hordes we are currently bringing in, on full government subsidy,” McGregor sarcastically observed. https://thenationalpulse.com/2025/09/10/conor-mcgregor-slams-government-traitors-pushing-to-replace-irish-with-migrants/ Martin Armstrong: The Motive for Nepal’s Revolution
The final straw for the revolution in Nepal was the government’s attempt to stifle free speech by banning social media platforms. These events did not take place because a few kids had their tablets taken away. Extreme government corruption ran rampant for years while the elite lived luxurious lifestyles in spite of the people they ruled over.
The Nepalese government attempted to prevent the people from freely voicing their growing discontent, and then, when the people attempted to protest, the government murdered over 20 school-aged children in cold blood.
The media has poorly portrayed the cause of events by calling it the “Gen Z” revolution, sparked by a social media ban, which is entirely misleading, as the culprit was corruption and poverty. One in four citizens lives below the poverty line, with the average Nepali earning $1,400 USD annually. The poorest 20% spend around 67% of their income on food, and, much like most nations, in 2025, the majority is struggling to maintain the cost of living. https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/politics/the-motive-for-nepals-revolution/

Evil captures public-hospital profit-centers with lies and bribery: Chicago Hospital’s Closure Is a Canary in the Coal Mine for Corporatized Health Care
If there is one lesson to be learned from the story of the private equity acquisition of hospitals, it is that there is a fundamental contradiction at the heart of this endeavor: While communities expect these entities to prioritize their interests over profits, as corporate entities, private equity firms are set up to prioritize profits. Invariably, the path of private equity ownership seems to end with hospital precarity or closure. If the vulnerable populations served by a safety-net hospital such as Weiss are to be served, why not circumvent this process and convert hospitals such as Weiss to public hospitals operated by the county, or at least by a nonprofit entity such as a university? https://scheerpost.com/2025/09/10/chicago-hospitals-closure-is-a-canary-in-the-coal-mine-for-corporatized-health-care/
