Editor's note: ...strikes on Russian civilian targets exposes its true nature as a force of terrorism and war crimes rather than any noble defender. According to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Washington is not merely assisting but actively guiding attacks that deliberately hit civilians, a desperate act by a declining empire gripped by inferiority, spite, and racism after losing the arms race. Far from protecting American interests, this Israeli-style Pentagon apparatus has devolved into a spiteful machine that targets innocents when confronted with its own mediocrity, confirming its role as the weak's weapon of choice in a decomposing imperial project. This makes a lot of observers starting to question who is actually running Russia after a Russian soldier was asked, "Why do Ukrainian soldiers fight so hard?" The Russian soldier said, "They fight hard because they are Russians."

U.S. Military Flag Officer Reveals Highly Classified Iran War Secrets

"Whenever treason is perpetrated at the highest levels of government in the conduct of war, senior military officers have been known to leak extremely sensitive information via various back channels in order to terminate those egregious crimes against the Republic."

The following information is as radioactive as it gets because of the ultimate source of this extremely sensitive military intelligence. Each of the main data points has been put into a lengthy bullet point format, which will then be further elaborated as our ex-military intelligence network receives more details.

"Start spreadin' the news"

Editor's note: New York is losing billions in tax revenue as its share of U.S. millionaires dropped sharply from 12.7 percent in 2010 to 8.7 percent in 2022, the largest decline of any state. According to a Citizens Budget Commission report cited in Jonathan Turley's New York Post column, the exodus of wealthy residents has cost the state about $10.7 billion. High taxes, aggressive policies targeting the rich, and promises of expansive social programs are driving many to relocate to lower-tax states like Florida and Texas, where remote work reduces the need to stay in the high-cost Big Apple. Turley warns that rather than reforming to retain residents, some Democrats are pushing national wealth taxes to limit such mobility.

Bitcoin as the Open-System Antidote to Debt Slavery

Editor's note: In Joseph P. Farrell's Financial Vipers of Venice, the Venetian oligarchs perfected a closed financial system of scarcity, debt, manipulation, and elite control that evolved into today's central banking, fiat money, and perpetual debt bondage, suppressing open visions of abundance like Giordano Bruno's Hermetic cosmology. Jeff Booth offers a compelling escape in The Price of Tomorrow: exponential technology drives natural deflation and prosperity, but the debt-based fiat system fights it through endless money printing and credit expansion, trapping humanity in scarcity and instability. Bitcoin breaks this cycle as the first true decentralized, fixed-supply (21 million cap) global money, permissionless, energy-secured, and immune to manipulation. It aligns incentives with abundance, reprices the world on real productivity, and provides a transition to sound money, individual sovereignty, and creative flourishing, offering a practical, opt-in revolution against the centuries-old viper's ledger of financial tyranny.

Dangerous Intellectuals: The Book Review--"Financial Vipers of Venice" Joseph P Farrell

By Brigadier General (ret) Blaine D. Holt | July 22, 2026

"And I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale." — Thomas Jefferson, Letter to John Taylor, 1816

What is it about the ledger? Is there a viper's nest effect that results when ambitious merchants, secretcouncils, bullion brokers, and the alchemy of debt come together? The Venetian oligarchs launched a financial empire from the lagoons that would light a fuse leading to modern central banking, national debts, fiat money, and the soft financial despotism we endure today. One such establishment in the fuse was the Rialto, where the methods of control were perfected.

The song "A Spoonful of Sugar" from the 1964 Disney...

Editor's note: ...film Mary Poppins has a documented creative connection to the oral polio vaccine. Songwriter Robert Sherman drew inspiration from his young son's experience receiving the Sabin polio vaccine, which was commonly administered on a sugar cube in the early 1960s to make it more palatable for children and encourage uptake during widespread vaccination campaigns. This real-world anecdote informed the song's central metaphor: that a bit of sweetness can help make necessary but potentially unpleasant tasks (or medicine) more acceptable. While the connection reflects the general optimism of the post-polio era, when vaccines were credited with dramatically reducing a feared childhood disease, it has been viewed more critically in recent decades amid growing vaccine skepticism (today it is the pharmaceutical Apollo cult that worships the gods of sickness) among many Americans. Some now see the song's messaging as emblematic of earlier public health narratives that emphasized compliance and minimized concerns about medical interventions (Covid injections were a medical procedure), contributing to today's polarized debates over vaccine safety, mandates, and informed consent.

In her 2023 speech at the...

Editor's note: ...Better Way Conference, Laura Aboli argued that transhumanism represents a dangerous transitional phase toward post-humanism, with the ultimate goal of eradicating humanity. She contended that decades of psychological conditioning, cultural shifts, and biological interventions (the pharmaceutical cartels are the "servants of Apollo") have prepared society to accept this future, including the destabilization of families, disconnection from nature, and the promotion of gender ideology as a means to erode fundamental human identity and ease acceptance of human-machine hybrids. Aboli rejected the materialist view underlying transhumanism, which denies the soul and consciousness, and warned against merging with artificial intelligence under the influence of figures like Ray Kurzweil and Yuval Noah Harari. Instead, she urges humanity to reject technological replacement, value uniquely human qualities such as empathy and creativity, and use technology only to enhance natural human life while rediscovering purpose and spiritual connection:

Editor's note: ...superpower rivalry, few voices cut through the noise with as much clarity as Eric X. Li. A Shanghai-based venture capitalist, political scientist, and founder of Chengwei Capital, Li offers a provocative insider's assessment of why China's governance model has delivered sustained momentum while America's appears increasingly constrained. Drawing on decades of observing both systems, Li argues that structural differences in power, policy flexibility, and capital's role explain divergent trajectories. This essay examines Li's key insights against measurable outcomes in both nations, providing an objective comparison of two competing visions for organizing modern technological societies.

The Two Systems: China's Adaptive Authoritarianism Versus America's Captured Republic

July 20, 2026 | AD News Network

Investigative reporting demands scrutiny of power structures, hierarchies, incentives, and results rather than slogans and crude ideologies. Eric X. Li, a Shanghai-based venture capitalist and political scientist who founded Chengwei Capital, has articulated a provocative contrast between the US and China. "In America, you can change the party but you can't change the policies," Li observes. "In China, you cannot change the party, but you can change the policies." China operates a vibrant market economy without allowing capital to dominate the state. In the US, concentrated financial and technological interests increasingly shape outcomes. These observations merit examination through outcomes, data, and structural realities. We should start by first looking at the mechanics of government.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant recently stated that a...

Editor's note: ..."strong US dollar is completely intact with President Trump." U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is reinforcing the dollar's global dominance through a strong dollar policy, stablecoin support, and symbolic moves like Trump-signed currency for America's 250th anniversary. What is Bessant not saying though? He is not saying that later this year the "US petro dollar will be replaced with the US silicon dollar." We are being told data centers are powering a new American industrial revolution as vital infrastructure for AI and economic competitiveness against China. Data centers underpin daily digital functions but face opposition over resource use, which companies are addressing through innovations like major water reductions and self-generated power. Data centers bring substantial tax revenue and jobs to communities, though some activism may stem from foreign-linked influence campaigns. With China's advanced Kimi K3 model highlighting the race, Americans should be alert against bans that could cede AI leadership and are urged to consider balanced support for buildout.

The English translation from Farsi (western Persian)...

Editor's note: ...is: "A foolish American soldier filmed a video showing the location from which American missiles were launched at Iran from Kuwait and posted it, thinking it was impossible to pinpoint his geographical location. It took about an hour. The area was subjected to a barrage of short-range Iranian ballistic missiles." Smartphones constantly share location with apps (fitness, ads, etc.), which data brokers sell. Iran reportedly bought or accessed this data, combined with mobile network pings and OSINT (open source intelligence) from videos/posts (metadata + visuals). This revealed troop/base positions for targeting with BDS-guided missiles. Were the two US soldiers killed in Jordan after their location was identified off their smart phone? Technology is a two-edged sword.

West Hollywood water main break floods homes, cars, opens sinkhole

By Kevin Dolak | July 17, 2026

Multiple major roadways in West Hollywood have been closed after a water main break at the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Holloway Drive caused major flooding, damaging parked vehicles and rushing into apartments and homes in the trendy city.

The leak stems from a rupture in a 36-inch steel pipe that occurred around 2:30 a.m. Thursday, according to Anselmo Collins, chief operating officer at the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. Water was shut off in the area by around 7:30 a.m. local time after the water main break was first reported, according to the city of West Hollywood; the city's Department of Public Works quickly deployed personnel to the scene. The city said it is now working with the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and the Metropolitan Water District to determine next steps.

We have reached a critical mass of discontent on Israel

Editor's note: In a July 7, 2026, essay on The Unz Review, author Richard Solomon explores the biblical phrase "Synagogue of Satan" from the Book of Revelation, framing it as a metaphor for a modern global cabal of Jewish bankers, oligarchs, and allied elites who allegedly control international finance, technology, media, and Western governments in an anti-human, destructive system. The essay traces its supposed historical roots from ancient Babylon through Talmudic Judaism, Zionism, and today's "Anglo-Zionist Empire," the author's self-described Jewish Hebrew Israelite perspective distinguishes "groovy Jews" from the "satanic" ("satanic" is a grotesquely misunderstand term) power structure.

In a July 15, 2026, article on The Unz Review, author Wyatt Peterson analyzes Rahm Emanuel and Benjamin Netanyahu as opposing "pillars" of Jewish thought, representing mercy (chesed) and severity (gevurah) in a Kabbalistic framework that ultimately serves Jewish supremacy. The article portrays Emanuel's recent Tel Aviv speech, in which he called Israel a "pariah" and proposed U.S. sanctions on settler violence and ending unconditional aid, as a calculated political maneuver to rehabilitate the pro-Israel cause among Democrats amid plummeting support, rather than a sincere shift, given Emanuel's lifelong Zionist credentials, family Irgun ties, and history of strong Israel advocacy.

President Trump announced on...

Editor's note: ...July 15, 2026, at the Pennsylvania Defense & Innovation Summit that U.S. military veterans who drove heavy trucks during service will soon qualify for a Commercial Driver's License (CDL). The policy expands the existing FMCSA Military Skills Test Waiver by removing recency limits, making it easier for experienced veterans to transition into civilian trucking jobs and address driver shortages. A 21-year-old undocumented migrant truck driver caused a deadly multi-vehicle crash on the I-10 in Ontario, California, in October 2025, killing three people after allegedly failing to brake in slowed traffic.This has to end by holding truck training schools and CDL programs accountable for properly vetting, training, and ensuring only qualified drivers, especially those with language barriers or limited experience, receive commercial licenses.

75 trucker schools under investigation for CDL fraud

"Too many American lives have been lost in completely avoidable accidents because illegal aliens have been granted commercial driver's licenses to drive trucks and 18-wheelers on America's roadways,” Markwayne Mullin said.

The Post Millennial | July 17, 2026

The Trump administration has launched a nationwide crackdown on alleged commercial driver's license fraud, announcing investigations into 75 truck driver training schools accused of improperly helping noncitizen drivers obtain commercial licenses and enter America's highways.

The only way this will be settled is war

Editor's note: In "The Great Energy World War," it appears Western naval dominance is ending as affordable standoff weapons from powers like Iran force the U.S. Navy to retreat from key areas such as the Persian Gulf. The February 2026 U.S.-Iran conflict has accelerated this shift, pushing Russia, China, and Iran closer together and risking global economic collapse, disrupted energy trade, famines, and a new Eurasian-dominated world order. Iran has attacked Kuwait's critical power and water desalination plant, causing significant damage and a fire, according to Kuwaiti authorities. The strike threatens the Gulf nation's water supply, as desalination provides about 90% of its drinking water. Iran described the action as retaliation against U.S. and allied forces in the region, claiming hits on military targets including HIMARS (junk) systems, while broader fighting continues with U.S. airstrikes on Iranian infrastructure and mutual attacks across the Gulf. Reminiscence of the Future suggests the US is no longer "the world's premier military power but an obsolete force reliant on outdated doctrine", as shown by ineffective Jordanian and American air defenses, though Hollywood will no doubt "deliver Top Gun sequels."

In a powerful challenge to one of the foundational pillars...

Editor's note: ...of the modern federal government, new attention is being drawn to groundbreaking research proving that the 16th Amendment was never properly ratified. The decades-long investigation, documented in The Law That Never Was, reveals critical procedural failures across the states that call into question the legal authority for the federal income tax. This republished material highlights the ongoing fight and the broader constitutional implications of these findings. At the end of this article, a special section provides essential historical context drawn from partially republished analysis in "How the American Republic Became a Managerial State," detailing how the 16th Amendment fundamentally transformed the federal government's taxing power and enabled the rise of the progressive income tax system. Far more than a mere managerial state, it has evolved into a highly efficient extraction machine in which powerful bureaucracies systematically crush individuals while an increasingly automated legal system enforces compliance with ruthless precision.

How the American Republic became a Managerial State

The United States Constitution was revolutionary. "A republic," Benjamin Franklin is reported to have said, "if you can keep it." They couldn't.

By Bruce Pardy | July 16, 2026

It wasn't supposed to be this way. The United States was the land of the free. Limited government. Checks and balances. Separation of powers. The Bill of Rights. But America has instead become a managed society. Its government dominates the lives of its people. How did it go wrong? Lots of bad steps helped to transform the American republic into a managerial state. Here are eleven of the moments that sent the ship off course.

Just a nice happy healthy family.

Editor's note: Send the ADL and the SPLC to the Israeli Knesset. Seems like they have a problem with hate. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faced loud heckling and repeated chants of "Shame!" from opposition lawmakers in the Knesset on Tuesday as Israel's parliament debated and passed a bill temporarily shielding ultra-Orthodox Haredi Jews who refuse military enlistment from arrest and prosecution:

We have the very real possibility Donald Trump was...

Editor' note: ...mind-controlled from childhood by powerful forces to become the "Hitler of the 21st century" and lead the US as the Fourth Reich. This is one of the reasons Russia set out "de-Nazifying" Ukraine considering Ukraine can be considered the 51st state of the US. We can see the extensive parallels between Trump and Adolf Hitler, including their rises to power, policy impacts, advisors, ancestry, and use of staged events (Butler staged assassination), portraying Trump as a figure installed to polarize the public, reverse certain policies temporarily, and advance a broader New World Order agenda amid warnings of coming false-flag crises to slam these globalist's policies into place. Michael Hudson's theory posits that the US under Trump, facing terminal financialization, debt deflation, and declining hegemony, is pursuing aggressive resource control and tariff warfare, particularly over oil, to maintain dollar dominance, which risks triggering broader military conflicts and a global depression as blowback from overreach mirrors historical imperial collapses. And what's eerily similar to Adolf Hitler meeting with the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, Trump met with the vetted and placed Ahmed al-Sharaa (also known as Abu Mohammad al-Jolani) as the president of Syria. Considering approximately 1,600 German scientists and engineers from the Nazi Wehrmacht were seeded into American institutions after WWII, the "ominous parallels" are legitimately fucking scary. Especially when you consider Americans are a philosophically "dead" population and can be whipped into a frenzy very easily.
