Editor's note: ...builders of AI infrastructure in the technology industry, channeling tens of billions of dollars into vast data center facilities packed with Nvidia GPUs to supply the raw computing power demanded by leading AI labs and companies. Through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure the company is constructing multi-gigawatt facilities across the US and abroad, securing landmark multi-year contracts including a reported $300 billion agreement with OpenAI that anchors the Stargate initiative (a $500 billion project to build out large scale data centers), while simultaneously embedding advanced AI capabilities directly into its flagship databases and enterprise applications. This dual strategy of hyper-scale capacity and software intelligence has transformed Oracle from a traditional database giant into a critical enabler of the current AI boom, even as the scale of its capital spending tests investor confidence in the race to meet insatiable demand for training and inference power.

The Rise of the Ellison Empire

July 24, 2026 | By Martin Armstrong

There was a time when America's industrial titans built railroads, steel mills, and oil companies. Today, influence is measured in data, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, media, and information. Few families illustrate that transformation better than the Ellisons.

Larry Ellison built Oracle from a small software company into one of the world’s largest technology firms. His background and rags-to-riches story are quite interesting. Today Oracle is one of the dominant providers of enterprise databases and cloud infrastructure, serving governments, financial institutions, healthcare providers, defense contractors, and many of the world’s largest corporations. Oracle’s software touches enormous portions of the global economy. When governments collect taxes, hospitals manage patient records, banks process transactions, or corporations analyze data, Oracle systems are often operating behind the scenes. [Editor's note: Oracle's first contract was with the CIA for $50,000.]

The last dying gasp from Hollywood...

Editor's note: ...and the cultural Marxist woke psychotics who have demonstrated they are brain diseased and insanely envious of white culture. As has been correctly stated elsewhere, when Americans go through this expected economic and financial collapse that is being anticipated related to energy and the Straight of Hormuz, are they really going to give a damn about Hollywood movies and woke culture? Another interpretation of this movie Odyssey can be looked at as a "defining cultural moment", where future observers will divide history into the periods before and after its release. The ensuing intense debates surrounding this movie, including questions of casting, fidelity to Homer, and artistic interpretation, are going to become a rallying point that will force Americans to clarify their positions and prepare for subsequent cultural conflicts. The US Army motto "This we'll defend," frames the film and the broader defense of classical Western stories as something worth protecting in an ongoing culture war.

Matt Damon as Odysseus? You cannot be serious!

Not that I think it matters much, but I remind you going in I know quite a bit about this subject. I was the best student in the nation for two years in highschool in classics, having the high score on the Nation Junior Classical League pentathlon test, which includes questions of both Latin and Greek history and literature. I first read the Iliad and Odyssey at age 16, along with the Theogony, Aeneid, and the major Greek plays. I scored fifth in the nation in classic literature. I then double majored in Philosophy and Classics (mostly Latin) at the University of Texas, graduating in 1984 at the age of 20 Phi Beta Kappa and Summa cum Laude. I have kept up my studies since then and still read my Horace. So for those already saying "what the eff do I know about it?" that's what. Unlike all the people on Youtube, I actually know how to pronounce all these names.

The Gods of war

The U.S. House of Representatives passed...

Editor's note: ...the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2027 on July 22 in a 216-212 vote, largely along party lines. The bill includes Section 219, which expands intelligence sharing with Israel, promotes joint military exercises and weapons co-production, and integrates Israeli weapons into US systems. And if you disagree? Israel has a sophisticated war going against resistance. Critics, including some lawmakers and human rights groups (there are no "human rights", there are only individual rights but then you need to be prepared to fight for them), argue this effectively integrates the two countries' militaries and could give Israel greater influence over US policy (Israel already controls US foreign policy towards Israel) and supply chains. An amendment to remove the provision was blocked from debate. The bill now moves to the Senate, where opponents are seeking to strip out the section which they are unlikely to do; because the Middle East is going to erupt into a larger war. People want cheap oil right? Well, somebody has to die to get it.

"A Bridge Too Far": Middle East Set For A Massive Escalation

By Tyler Durden | July, 24, 2026

By Michael Every of Rabobank

Unless things change dramatically, the Middle East seems set for massive escalation.

President Trump yesterday warned every missile, rocket, or drone Iran fires at ships in Hormuz will be met with the destruction of an Iranian bridge or power plant.

The following quote is relevant...

Editor's note: ...to our circumstances and what are depicted in the following X posts. A white Minnesota woman was convicted of disorderly conduct for using a racial slur toward a Somali man filming her at a park (while acquitted on the related charge involving a child), which critics cite as evidence of selective enforcement and weakened free-speech protections in the state. The Communist Agenda:

"The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long the nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was. The world around it will forget even faster."

 

American mother Shiloh Hendrix faced criminal charges in Rochester, Minnesota for using a racial slur during a confrontation at a park.

She was looking at up to 90 days in jail over the incident involving a child of Somali descent and the adult who filmed her.

Editor's note: ...Mohamad Faridi, now a Christian leader, discusses below the Islamo-communism alliance between far-left communists and Islamists. In an interview with Alex Newman of The New American, Faridi traces the partnership back to early Soviet leaders like Lenin and Stalin, who allegedly used Muslim jihadis to intimidate opponents and consolidate control. He points to modern examples including Iran's close ties with China's communist regime and the election of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, whom the piece labels an Islamic-socialist figure, as evidence of this "Red-Green" (the Islamo-Marxists) axis operating in the West. Faridi argues that Islamists and communists view each other as temporary tools in a shared fight against Christianity, liberty, and Western values, while warning of jihadist sleeper cells already present in the United States and stressing that the Iranian regime must be confronted to stop the spread of international terror.

Islamo-communism: Former IRGC soldier explains why communists and Islamists are working together

The Islamo-communism phenomenon, a toxic mixture of the political hard/far left and Islamism, has raised its ugly head in many Western countries in recent years.

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.
