Bombs away

Editor's note: Operation Epic Fury: U.S. President Donald Trump has confirmed that American forces have begun "major combat operations" in Iran, describing the strikes as a joint U.S.–Israeli effort to "obliterate" Iranian missile factories and eliminate what he called "imminent threats" from the Iranian regime. In an address to the nation and the people of Iran, Trump said the action was necessary to protect U.S. troops, overseas bases, and allies. Iranian retaliatory strikes against Israel have reportedly begun, raising fears of a broader regional escalation. Wouldn't it be something if Iran and Israel at some level connected to unknown private intelligence networks are actually working together?

It's all scripted and fake to keep...

Editor's note: ...you distracted. Honestly, of all the people who should probably be considered for a Presidential Medal of Freedom a hockey goalie receives the award while FBI Director Kash Patel with the US hockey team to the Winter Olympics spraying beer in celebration? Why would they want to keep Americans distracted? Well, for starters would be related giving Bayer/Monsanto immunity against Round-up (see MAHA PUSHBACK: Thomas Massie And RFK Jr. Call Out President Trump's Recent Executive Order On Glyphosate) lawsuits? That's just one of the things they were keeping your eyes off with this noisy spectacle. What else?

The Real Pandemic Profiteers

They Called Us Grifters. Then the Epstein Files Opened.

By Sayer Ji | February 22, 2026

Read, share, and comment on the X thread dedicated to this post.

In 2021, the President of the United States told the nation that I and eleven other Americans were killing people — and the organization that gave him that claim was funded by the same dark money networks whose offshore vaccine profits we had been investigating.

Executive Summary

• The hit job: In 2020–2021, a coordinated network of UK-based NGOs — funded by the same philanthropies whose pandemic-related financial interests they were protecting — deployed government officials, tech platforms, AI moderation systems, legal threats, and parliamentary privilege to brand twelve named Americans as killers, criminals, and terrorists for questioning official pandemic narratives.

Stephen Miller, currently serves...

Editor's note: ...as White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and U.S. Homeland Security Advisor under President Donald Trump's second term. Miller correctly identifies the Democrats as "Communists." He says, "US schools will teach students to love the US or funding will be cut. No country can survive if children are taught to hate it." Miller further stated, "the federal government would push schools to teach children to love America, promote patriotism, and teach civic values, and that funds should not be used to promote communist ideology." Unfortunately, despite President Trump's repeated vows to abolish the Department of Education, it remains not only intact but growing, demonstrating how this entrenched bureaucracy resists calls for fundamental reform and weakening local control of education. It's not "education". It is the Department of Communist Indoctrination.

'You Owe Us' Is the Mantra of the Left [Video]

By Victor Davis Hanson | February 23, 2026

Editor's note: This is a lightly edited transcript of a segment from today’s edition of "Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words" from Daily Signal Senior Contributor Victor Davis Hanson. Subscribe to Hanson's own YouTube channel to watch past episodes.

Sami Winc: Two things that came together for me. One was [New York City Mayor Zohran] Mamdani's 9.5% increase in the property tax for New Yorkers, but not that alone. I'm sure our audience has read about that. But I was looking at Power Line. I always like to give a shout-out to them because they have some great articles, and they were comparing New York State’s budget versus Florida's budget.

We are outsourcing our creativity and humanity...

Editor's note: ...to a damn machine. The real cultural threat stunting brains is not "text on demand" but the endless stream of short form video content. These are disconnected videos that fragment attention (causing atrophy of the pre-frontal cortex) that are eviscerating continuity of thought. Rapid scrolling conditions the mind to crave novelty (dopamine levels are all messed up) without integration; nothing lingers long enough to form depth, memory, or synthesis. The best way to interdict stunted brain function would be to read poetry, even hard to understand poetry because at some point your subconscious mind will understand it. Returning again and again to a single poem forces sustained attention, layered interpretation, and the slow construction of meaning across time. Poetry forces consciousness. Unlike AI algorithmic feeds designed to trigger reaction on YouTube, poetry demands your participation. It rebuilds destroyed narrative continuity (neuter Operation Chaos) inside the mind. By strengthening concentration and symbolic thinking, repeated engagement with poetry can counterbalance the cognitive erosion caused by fragmented media, helping preserve a space where human imagination remains deliberate rather than reflexive, and where creativity arises from reflection instead of constant stimulus.

Youtube is now a Mass AI Hallucination

by Miles Mathis

February 22, 2026

Why is Youtube now overrun by fake AI videos like these claiming to be narrated by Joe Rogan . . . but not. Not only are the subjects fake, but Rogan isn't narrating them: an AI voice is mimicking him, but you can tell it isn't him because it is mispronouncing a lot of words Rogan knows how to pronounce. For instance, in one he mentions a date of 1992, but says "one-thousand nine-hundred and ninety-two". No human makes that mistake. And this is just one channel of many publishing hundreds or thousands of fake videos. Youtube has rules against things like this and it used to police them, but now it promotes them instead, I am guessing as part of Operation Chaos. The question is, why is Rogan allowing it? He has to know about it. And why is this channel, Clipbank, out of the United Kingdom, when all new videos start out "THIS IS CRAZY: Joe Rogan storytelling"? Joe Rogan's show isn't out of the UK.

Back to industrial sabotage and terrorism™

Editor's note: The decision to destroy the oil pumping station at Transneft in the republic of Tatarstan early Monday was not a decision Kiev made on its own. The European central banks through their stage actors in the political class continue pushing for war against Russia and now Hungary. The Druzhba-1 station at Kaleikino, a critical part of the Druzhba oil pipeline for Hungary and Slovakia for Russian oil, has just been blown up. Now who would stand to gain the most for punishing Hungary and Slovakia? The EU central banks that's who, and their political appointees like the brainless Kaja Kallas (also see Kaja Kallas Against War?).

Hungary to deploy troops against potential 'Ukrainian attacks'

By RT | February 25, 2026

Republished by SOTT

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has ordered military units and additional police to guard energy infrastructure sites in his country's east, citing the threat of potential Ukrainian attacks.

Orban announced the deployment on Wednesday amid the continuing standoff between Budapest and Kiev over the Soviet-era Druzhba pipeline, which until recently carried Russian crude to Hungary and Slovakia via Ukraine.

Banking cartels

Editor's note: In this predator and prey ecosphere central banks, particularly the Federal Reserve, have failed to deliver economic stability or shared prosperity, instead concentrating wealth and power in the hands of a small elite. The central banking cartels manipulate currencies (recently Iran) and commodity markets, creating monopolies and economic crises that disadvantage the broader population. The historical relationship between the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury, demonstrates long-standing financial schemes tied to the "petrodollar" system and global currency control. The central bank digital currencies and institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) could further centralize financial power and restrict economic freedom. Wherever the US military is sent they follow the US dollar. Where do we go from here? Stop contracting with these entities. When asked about a programmable digital currency all you have to say is "no."

International Public Notice: The Take Down Necessary

February 24, 2026 | By Anna Von Reitz

We recently noted how completely silly it is for people to imagine that a piece of paper or a gold coin could ever be worth an hour of their time on Earth.

There are lots of things like that, once you begin to observe.

For example, what authority could your own public employees have that is enabling them to harass you and enslave you?

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) operates inside an archaic...

Editor's note: ...system that forces millions of Americans to act as unpaid accountants every year. Instead of sending taxpayers a completed return using income data it already has, the government makes citizens navigate a bloated, confusing tax code, or pay private companies to do it for them. When the IRS touts bigger refunds, it's not proof of efficiency; it's proof people overpaid and are begging for their own money (it's not "their" money; they only use US dollars) back. The structure is outdated, unequal, and wasteful, draining time, energy, and billions in compliance costs (see The reported scandal within the IRS) from ordinary Americans. When the IRS highlights rising refunds as a success metric, it underscores the system's deeper dysfunction: refunds are not evidence of efficiency, but proof that people overpaid throughout the year and must now request their own money back. Meanwhile, outdated infrastructure, political gridlock, and reliance on private software vendors preserve a structure that consumes time, money, and mental bandwidth. Within the IRS's budget of $18.2 billion (FY 2024), the largest single category is employee compensation (salaries and benefits) that came in at roughly $6.1 billion reported in early 2025. The next time you sign your tax contract (out of fear) from the IRS think about that for a moment.

'I'll See You In Federal Prison' Self-Employed American Goes To War With The IRS Over $52

By Grant Mercer | February 24, 2026

BRIEFING

Grant here. If you needed more evidence that the IRS has become a bloated, disorganized system, look no further than this story here. You know, most taxpayers assume serious IRS enforcement is reserved for big forms of fraud. But, as it turns out, even a discrepancy as small as $52 can land you in federal prison. Let's break it down.

When you watch sh*t like this...

Editor's note: ...you know deep down inside this reprobate called a "politician" is probably a racist (see Are the Democrats the Real Racists?). It is astonishing Americans tolerate this. If Californians were smart and well organized they would do a GoFundMe for Newsom and send him to Haiti or Africa to live. Maybe he can take some of his money and build a school for Black Africans. Newsom needs to be banished to the far regions of any remaining civilization leaving the people of California alone with his patronizing Blacks and pandering bullshit.

Feminist priorities have overridden centuries-old legal protections

Editor's note: In a short clip, Helen Andrews argues that the feminization of elite fields, especially law, may have accelerated the spread of "wokeness" and weakened due process. Citing Obama-era Title IX tribunals and the Me Too movement, Andrews claims shifting cultural priorities led to lower standards of proof and less rigorous legal protections. She questions whether changes in elite institutions are reshaping justice itself. Where does this toxic and obviously destructive ideology come from? Senator John Kennedy has a few words about the "Karen" (stereo typically white liberal women) wing of the Democratic Party. Senator Kennedy generally supports President Trump, it's the "other" Republicans in the senate and congress who are distancing themselves from President Trump before the midterms. 

For those who are fans of...

Editor's note: ...professional football entertainment games, with emphasis on entertainment, the owners of the NFL team the Chicago Bears are considering leaving the blue city of Chicago. The potential move to Indiana is more about economics "fitting the pattern of corporate and capital migration" out of blue cities and states rather than being just a "sports story." Maybe the San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Rams and the Los Angeles Chargers will consider similar moves out of California? That will give the Nomenklatura Newsom in California something to think about considering he "can't read."

Whatever Abrahamic religion you have been...

Editor's note: ...vectored into they are all run by secret societies. The vocal Christian Zionist Mike Huckabee, posing as a US ambassador while actually serving Israel's interests, falsely presents himself as a legitimate diplomat. Huckabee is not a diplomat. He is a fanatic indoctrinated by the heretical teachings of the Scofield Bible (weaponized Christianity) edited at Oxford. The news story of Tucker Carlson being detained and questioned at the Ben Gurion International Airport is incorrect. Security footage showed Carlson calmly interacting with staff, smiling, signing documents, and posing for photos, further contradicting claims of "hostile treatment." More bullshit reporting to confuse people.

Human trafficking and raping and killing children...

Editor's note: ...have been around for 2,000 years. In this historical context nothing has changed. A recent investigation has alleged that thousands of Ukrainian children evacuated to the West amid Russia's SMO have vanished into exploitation networks. Out of nearly 5,000 children officially sent to EU countries, over 1,600 have not returned, while schemes in the US, exploiting programs like Uniting for Ukraine (U4U), involved forged documents (possibly Form I-134A) to traffic orphans for illegal adoptions or worse. Reports highlight cases in Turkey where over 500 children faced abuse, forced labor, and sexual violence, alongside broader surges in trafficking risks. The corruption in Ukraine continues and demand in Western countries is fueling a shadowy industry that treats children as commodities, leaving many trapped in foster systems, criminal operations, or legal limbo where courts block repatriation citing war dangers. Hopefully, some of these children trafficked out of Ukraine to the US are safe.

Epstein, Yermak, and Zelensky

February 17, 2026 | by Thierry Meyssan

While Epstein may have seemed to enjoy committing his crimes, we must not forget that he worked for a secret service, Mossad. The horrors he committed were primarily a means of blackmailing his friends. Although, for the moment, no Ukrainian figure has been directly implicated, numerous elements compel us to investigate who, in Ukraine, supplied children to the Epstein network.

Here is the epitome of the US healthcare system...

Editor's note: ...with doctors, nurses and executives who went on a pillaging rampage. In the DOJ's largest-ever health care fraud bust (June 2025), 324 defendants, including 96 doctors and pharmacists, were charged with $14.6 billion in alleged scams targeting Medicare and Medicaid, yet most cases remain in early prosecution stages with no major convictions or sentences reported as of early 2026. So, what happened to these fraudsters? If the 324 defendants in the DOJ's June 2025 $14.6 billion healthcare fraud bust, many still awaiting trials or sentences as of February 2026, with only scattered convictions like the December 2025 prison terms for a couple in a $1.2B wound graft scheme, face sluggish justice amid settlements and delays, it's laughable to expect high-profile U.S. Epstein associates (beyond Ghislaine Maxwell's 20-year sentence) to be arrested or prosecuted, especially since the DOJ's January 2026 file dump yielded no new charges. This news isn't "breaking," it is ongoing...

Britain is once again accused of sabotaging...

Editor's note: ...fragile Ukraine-Russia peace diplomacy by reviving unsubstantiated claims that opposition figure Alexei Navalny was poisoned with a rare dart-frog toxin (epibatidine) two years after his death, timing the joint statement with allies (Sweden, France, Germany, Netherlands) to derail ongoing US-mediated talks in Geneva and Munich discussions, as London's "necro-propaganda" to demonize Moscow, push more sanctions and weapons to Ukraine, and fuel endless European war rather than genuine negotiation, echoing again British fabrications like the Skripal and Litvinenko cases. Then when it comes to Iran, Britain's involvement in a potential unlawful US attack on Iran by providing key military bases like RAF Fairford and Diego Garcia for bombers, exposing UK forces to retaliation and energy crises, all under Starmer's questionable oversight without clear legal or parliamentary justification. So, who let these prisoners out of their cage in Syria?

Is British Intelligence Radicalising Children in Syrian ISIS Prisons for the Long War against Iran?

By Vanessa Beeley | February 21, 2026

• British Intelligence is never too far from the wars and chaos in the so-called Middle East region. In Syria MI6 has taken centre stage for the last 75 years in the intelligence operations to overthrow successive Syrian governments and now the aim is the final war against Iran with Syria as the staging post.
