The US went from "gunboat diplomacy" to Tomahawk diplomacy

Editor's note: The "deep state" is defined by Raytheon (an RTX business), Boeing and the United States of Lockheed Martin. Raytheon, Boeing and Lockheed Martin are not America, and neither is the Pentagon. They operate in a parallel universe completely unhinged from America. Whoever would come out on top of falsifying the alleged bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab, Iran is anyone's guess if it was staged. How do we know more than "1,000 Tomahawk missiles were dropped on Iran?" That sounds more like copy edit advertising for Raytheon, so when Trump says he is going to "bomb the shit out of Oman," what he is really saying he is going to bomb the shit out of Oman for Raytheon. The widely cited "1,000+ Tomahawks" figure is an unverified estimate drawn from once again "anonymous leaks" to the Washington Post and Wall Street Journal (increases stock value: 52-week range: approximately $150.61 – $226.88), later repeated by CSIS, rather than any official public tally, yet it is now being used to justify a $22.9 billion multi-year contract that dramatically expands Raytheon's production line and revenue. There was a saying some years ago called "gunboat diplomacy." Today it's Tomahawk diplomacy, Raytheon's preferred business model, where every "conflict" conveniently empties the magazine and triggers another multi-billion-dollar replenishment contract paid for by the same taxpayers who never consented to the last one.

US Military Awards Raytheon With $22.9 Billion Contract To Ramp Up Tomahawk Missile Production

The US fired over 1,000 Tomahawk missiles during its war against Iran, and it was the weapon used in the strike on an elementary school in Minab

by Dave DeCamp | August 17, 2026

Raytheon has landed a massive $22.9 billion contract with the US military to dramatically ramp up the production of Tomahawk missiles, as US arms makers continue to cash in on the US-Israeli war against Iran.

The ancient Greeks had a name for this pattern...

Editor's note: ...long before pharmaceutical cartels existed. In the Iliad, Apollo is introduced sending plague into the Greek camp, and the same god is worshipped elsewhere as Paean (the healer or Greek physician of the Gods); because the Greeks understood that whoever sends the sickness and whoever offers the cure can be one and the same power. It is a way of trying to understand the nature of the pharmaceutical industrial complex today where the people who are positioned to cause the most harm and the people positioned to profit from curing it are drawn from the same small pool, funded by the same money, and protected by the same revolving door. None of this necessarily requires personal corruption from every individual involved. It requires a monetary system where money, career advancement, and public health decisions are tied incestuously together closely enough that greed does not need to be hidden. It only needs to be normalized. The Greek pharmakon, a word that meant drug, remedy, and poison all at once are contained within the ingredients of a Pentagon and Moderna planned Covid injection that has led to "premeditated murder."

FDA regulators (regulatory capture) and pharmaceutical cartels operate inside an opaque financial loop that rewards cooperation over scrutiny. About 65% of the FDA's drug review budget comes directly from industry user fees (pay offs), meaning the agency depends financially on the drug companies it is supposed to police. Roughly a quarter to over half of FDA reviewers who worked on drug approvals eventually leave for jobs at the same pharmaceutical companies (see The "Expert" From the FDA Who Sits On Pfizer's Board), and nine out of ten recent FDA commissioners have gone on to work in the industry. Research shows this pattern is not neutral: reviewers in senior positions who later move to industry tend to approve lower quality drugs while still at the agency, and companies that hire former FDA staff see higher approval rates and rising stock value as a direct result.

Britain's £6bn Paper Tigers: How HMS Prince of Wales Exposed the Royal Navy's Carrier Crisis

Editor's note: Watch this video by Dr. Mark Felton, Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, the well-known British historian and author of 22 non-fiction books including bestsellers Zero Night and Castle of the Eagles (both in Hollywood development), as he details how Britain's two enormous aircraft carriers cannot be properly protected, crewed or supplied with the aircraft they were designed for, and how the recent Arctic deployment of HMS Prince of Wales in Operation Firecrest to "intimidate" the Russians proved a complete farce that should have been called Operation Paper Tiger, exposing the story of these ruinously expensive white elephants. Does anyone seriously think Britain can challenge Russia's domination of the Arctic with the world's largest and most technologically advanced icebreaking fleet?

Arkansas State Police: On August 5, 2026, around 7 p.m. on Interstate 555 near...

Editor's note: ...Trumann, Arkansas, an Arkansas State Police trooper made the indefensible decision to execute a high-speed PIT/Tactical Vehicle Intervention on a fleeing Hyundai Sonata traveling approximately 130 mph, deliberately ramming the suspect vehicle in a manner that sent it careening into a black SUV occupied by a 68-year-old woman and a 73-year-old man, innocent motorists simply driving the highway. The resulting violent collision flipped their vehicle multiple times, trapping the elderly couple inside with serious injuries that required extrication and transport to a Memphis trauma center, all because a trooper chose to initiate a controlled crash at speeds most agencies treat as inherently lethal and far beyond any defensible threshold for public safety. This was not policing; it was a reckless, foreseeable endangerment of bystanders that turned a traffic stop into catastrophic harm for two senior citizens who had nothing to do with the pursuit. The Arkansas State Police's continued embrace of such high-speed ramming tactics, despite repeated civilian injuries and deaths, will no longer be tolerated. Accountability for the trooper, rigorous policy overhaul, full civil liability for the agency, and a massive lawsuit by this elderly couple against the state are the minimum response required when officers prioritize ending pursuits over protecting the very public they are sworn to serve.

How do we wrap our brains around this idea...

Editor's note: ...that Israel is planning to assassinate President Trump? Americans are exhausted from the endless, obsessive focus on Israel and Jews that saturates political discourse, news media cycles, conspiracy networks, news blog, social media networks and online arguments. We have now arrived at "Jew fatigue" just as Americans have arrived at "ghetto fatigue." Every crisis, every foreign policy debate, every online discussion, every cultural dispute and every rumor about power, control, killing or betrayal always loops back to the same narrow set of ethnic and religious fixations, creating a schizophrenic public space in which one side treats Israel as sacred and beyond reproach and criticism while the other treats Jews as the hidden hand behind every misfortune. The result is a weary, demoralized and increasingly cynical public that simply wants the noise to stop. If President Trump is Jewish as one source provides evidence that he is, why would Israel want to assassinate President Trump? We live in a world controlled by irrational psychopaths making decisions that are having deleterious consequences for the rest of us and this is not going to end well. Jewish or not, Godspeed, Mr. Trump, you will be fine. Maybe "God chose the Jews", but we sure the hell didn't.

Is Israel Planning to Assassinate President Trump?

By W.M. Peterson | August 14, 2026

"When you read Jewish law in many places, you might understand that gentiles can be killed freely without any problems." — Rabbi Yitzhak Shapira, Radio Kol Hai (July 2011)

In January 2012, Andrew Adler, the owner and publisher of a small weekly newspaper called the Atlanta Jewish Times, sparked considerable controversy when he penned an article titled 'What Would You Do?' in which he put forth three possible responses Israel might pursue if Iran were to acquire a nuclear weapon. The first two — pre-emptive strikes on Hezbollah and Hamas and disobeying the US Secretary of Defense to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities — failed to raise any eyebrows. Adler's third suggestion, however, would result in his immediate resignation as editor and the subsequent sale of his newspaper:

The Debt Trap's Twin Terrors: Socialism and Fascism — and Why Vance Won't Name the Real Cause

Editor's note: According to Jeff Booth, Americans face a deepening dichotomy between socialism (see Mayor Mamdani Panics as Taylor Swift Triggers A $2.3 Billion Celebrity Exodus!) and fascism (there are notable conceptual and historical parallels between nationalism and socialism, though they are not identical and often compete) that stems directly from the debt-based monetary system: as this system demands perpetual inflation and control to avert collapse amid technology-driven deflation, society splits, one side pushing socialist redistribution (Mamdani in New York) for those excluded from asset gains, the other toward fascist-style authoritarianism (the technology is driven by the surveillance state) that feigns free-market defense while tightening centralized power, both mere variants of the same control mechanism. Vice President J.D. Vance, in recent remarks claiming socialism is rising in America, does not discuss this underlying monetary driver or the parallel fascist path. Only by breaking free from this debt-based architecture can a genuine free market take hold, ending the zero-sum polarizations of socialism and fascism alike. J.D. Vance (what a "hillbilly") of course is a beneficiary of this present monetary system so he is not going to say anything that would compromise his position and investment in this monetary system. On the other hand, you are not a beneficiary. You are a victim of theft: Inflation while you are simultaneously given a choice between socialism and fascism. The "hillbilly" claims that "socialism is stopped not by free-market slogans but by government making people's lives better" is clearly obfuscation. This keeps Americans trapped inside the very debt-based monetary system that systematically produces both socialism and fascism.

Vance warns of 'rising interest in socialism' in US

Republicans risk losing younger voters unless living standards improve, the vice president has said

August 14, 2026 | By RT

The US Republican Party must address the economic pressures facing Americans or risk driving more young people toward socialism, Vice President J.D. Vance has said.

Vance made the remarks in an interview with Fox News on Thursday, pointing to the cost of housing and education, access to well-paid jobs, and the ability to start a family as key concerns.

At some inflection point this is going to have...

Editor's note: ...catastrophic consequences against those who have been destructive of and antagonistic towards the West and the White European ethnicity. A people, a race, a nation and an idea will only tolerate so much before something in the mechanism snaps. This is precisely what we are seeing. There can be no questioning the fact that the White ethnicity has been targeted for destruction. This is only an exaggeration but only for those who deny this honest assessment. The inflection point may happen in any country, European or even in America, with Ireland looking more like blood will be drawn in that country first. It may even erupt against the Democrats (see We Can't Save The American Dream By Pretending Everything Is Just Fine) in America who are the antithesis of everything America started off as under the American founders. History is awash with blood so don't think we are going to go through this next inflection point without it being violent. Do concerned individuals want to see violence and bloodshed? Of course not, but the shocking reality is we are living on this same historical continuum and cannot avoid it. In a recent speech, longtime immigration critic Peter Brimelow warns that continued post-1965 mass immigration and demographic change risks turning America into a version of post-apartheid South Africa. A country in which a once-dominant highly productive and energized White population becomes a paralyzed, tax-paying minority amid national decline.

The Doomsday 'Kill Whitey' Democrats

By Mike | August 13, 2026

Democrats are damaging their brand image by campaigning alongside leftist radicals who openly call for the destruction of the West, White people, and the United States.

As ZeroHedge put it: 'Radical leftists and Islamist activists are converging inside the Democratic Party as Democratic Socialists of America and forming a red-green alliance.

The covert war continues to end the proxy war...

Editor's note: ...against Russia. This time a large ammunition manufacturing facility in Italy goes up in flames. On Thursday, August 13, 2026 a fire and powerful explosion struck the KNDS Ammo Italy plant in Colleferro, about 40 km (37 miles) southeast of Rome. The facility is operated by KNDS Ammo Italy, a subsidiary of the French-German defense firm KNDS. It's the former Simmel Difesa plant. The ammunition plant produced 155mm artillery shells for Ukraine. It looks as though Ukraine's military is going to come up drastically short on 155mm artillery rounds. This plant in Italy is removed from the supply chain and the ammunition plant in Texas that turned out not to be producing anything in a $553 million scam production facility. Since 2022, suspected sabotage or explosions have struck ammunition facilities tied to Ukraine's arms supply chain across Europe: Transnistria's Cobasna depot (April–June 2022), Czechia's Poličské Strojírny plant, Bulgaria's EMCO depot near Belitsa (2024 and August 10, 2026), and Italy's KNDS plant in Colleferro (August 13, 2026), with Czech authorities formally attributing earlier 2014 Vrbětice blasts to Russia's GRU.

Sanctions mainly drive innovation

Editor's note: Between what's been called the "deep state," the "breakaway civilization," a "parallel system of finance," the "Nazi international," "Zionism," and the "Fourth Reich" operating in the US, one has to ask what the U.S. Treasury thinks it's accomplishing by placing economic sanctions on other countries — Russia most of all — as a weapon of economic warfare. Sanctions on Russia haven't stopped its oil trade; they've simply pushed it into shadowier channels. Reports on Greek shipowners who sold hundreds of aging tankers at inflated prices to buyers in the UAE, China, Turkey, and India have documented the emergence of hundreds of new, often opaque shipping firms tied to Russian oil. The core argument is simple: nations and businesses act in their own self-interest, so Greek sellers, Asian buyers, and Gulf middlemen will keep trading regardless of what Washington wants. Russia has essentially demonstrated that the U.S. can no longer dictate the terms of global trade. The conclusion follows: sanctions mainly drive innovation in evasion, not the outcomes they were designed to achieve. Unless sanctions were cleverly designed specifically to allow for Russia to develop its fully domestic Il-114-300 turboprop airliner, you have to consider the view that sanctions are not working. The conclusion: sanctions mainly drive innovation in evasion rather than achieving their intended goals. Russia just demonstrated sanctions create new markets...

We need to put this into perspective, yes, the Republican and Democratic...

Editor's note: ...criminal syndicates operating under the euphemism of "political parties" are death cults, but keep in mind, these "death cults" wouldn't be able to function without the central banking death cult war model that sits above them that can create money out of nothing in unlimited quantities. It is a mob protection racket dressed up in financial and economic jargon to confuse you. Strip away the obfuscation and ask a simple question: what's actually in the U.S. Treasury? Some stolen or swindled gold, stashed in private vaults for deployment when it's convenient. That's not a treasure. The Declaration of Independence is a treasure, when anyone bothers to use it. The credit and debt system isn't complicated, it's deliberately opaque, and the numbers you're handed are fantasy. Over 90% of dollars don't exist as anything physical; they're electronic ledger entries, and your labor (energy) and belief in this system gets converted into data points feeding that money machine. Show the flow chart. Show exactly how Pool A of e-units becomes Pool B becomes Pool C and lands at Ondas, Lockheed Martin or General Dynamics. You can't, because it doesn't work that way, not directly, and arguably not at all. The "national debt" is an IOU from a protection racket, a fantasy number they pull out of their ass and handed to the American people at gunpoint. Don't sugarcoat it. Call abortion what it is: a for-profit body count, where every abortion is a line item, every "patient" a revenue unit, and clinics have every financial incentive to keep the procedures flowing regardless of the human cost. The other aspect of what is going on here is are we going to see confrontation in America go kinetic considering all of the events that are taking place?

America is ruled by a Uniparty that operates like a death cult

Needless overseas wars slaughter innocent civilians while in America we now have 10 states that allow abortion all the way up to birth; they call it 'healthcare'

By Leo Hohmann | August 12, 2026

Both of the two major American political parties are part of a death cult. Each worships death in their own distinct way.

The Republican Party, which I have focused on over the last 18 months only because they are the party in power, has membership rolls filled with bloodthirsty warmongers. The older Republicans especially, as a whole, will support any war that official Washington tells them needs to be fought. No questions asked.

Georgia's law enforcement agencies are facing a mounting...

Editor's note: ...scandal over blatant abuse of Flock Safety's license plate reader network, with officers treating a public safety tool as their personal stalking apparatus. In Bibb County, three former deputies, Coznavian Stubbs, Joseph Callaway, and Toni Lewis, were criminally charged after an internal audit found they exploited the system to track people they had personal relationships with. In Fayetteville, three more officers were fired for running searches on their own license plates or those of people they knew, while Savannah terminated four sworn officers and two civilian employees for running unauthorized searches on acquaintances and family members, with one officer even handing outside access to someone unauthorized to have it.

These are not isolated lapses; reports indicate at least 17 Georgia officers have been implicated in Flock misuse in just the past couple of months, part of a nationwide pattern in which officers have used this surveillance technology to stalk romantic partners, exes, and other private citizens. That officers sworn to uphold the law would so casually weaponize a mass surveillance system for personal vendettas and stalking is a profound betrayal of public trust, and it exposes the reckless lack of oversight built into these Flock surveillance camera networks from the start.

Phebe Novakovic: The American taxpayers want a refund...

Editor's note: ...with General Dynamics ripping off the U.S. Treasury and the American people. Most would call this corporate grift but on this level it is simply relegated to "contract delays" or "cost overruns." A ProPublica investigation revealed that the U.S. Army paid (the U.S. Army didn't pay General Dynamics anything, the American people did) General Dynamics roughly $533 million in taxpayer funds to open and operate a new artillery shell factory near Dallas, Texas, intended to boost production for needs including Ukraine, yet the plant never delivered a single usable shell. Despite repeated deadlines, malfunctioning equipment, production-line shutdowns ordered by the Army, and involvement of a lightly vetted Turkish subcontractor in a rushed process, the facility produced only defective output according to a Defense Department (creates chaos all over the world to sell weapons) inspector general report, leaving American taxpayers with a costly failure and little accountability so far. Have a listen to this corporate sales bullshit, and as you listen understand that the US manufactures weapons to sell while the Russians manufacture weapons to wage war and there is a vast difference. The top three major shareholders of General Dynamics are Longview Asset Management (about 10%), BlackRock (about 6.9%), and Vanguard (roughly 6–9% across its funds).

The problem isn't "third worldism", it's the Abrahamic...

Editor's note: ...religions especially Islam. The Abrahamic religions represent a foreign spiritual imposition on Europeans and Americans, one that displaced native pagan traditions and continues to cause real harm today. All three Abrahamic faiths share a pattern of using children as a kind of sacrificial offering, whether literally or symbolically, and points to cases of religiously-linked child abuse, including grooming gang scandals tied to Islam in the UK, as evidence of this pattern playing out in the modern world. Yes, there are decent people in all religions, this isn't the point. The entire religious tradition, going back to the conversion of Europe under the Roman Empire, as a kind of cultural and generational religious exploitation, should alert people of European descent to reject these belief systems as not authentically their own. We would be far better off returning to a pre-Christian indigenous spiritual tradition instead. If we don't the obvious is going to happen: Christians set against Islam on American soil despite all the "good" people in both religions. Europeans and Americans have been "neurologically conditioned by Abrahamic black-and-white thinking to seek saviors", whether God or government, instead of confronting hardship with courage and solving problems ourselves.

The Problem With DSA Democrats Isn't Socialism, It's Third-Worldism

By John Daniel Davidson | August 12, 2026

Decades of immigration from Muslim-majority Third World countries has turned the Democrats into the party of militant anti-Americanism.

The recent electoral success of candidates affiliated with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) has prompted many Republicans and commentators on the right to attack these Democrats for being "socialists" or "communists" — as if those labels will persuade voters, particularly younger voters, that DSA-backed candidates are just too radical.

As Americans ruled by a managerial class...

Editor's note: ...that despises them (their hubris is now intolerable) and insists on controlling every aspect of their lives, how are we supposed to comprehend or reconcile the prostitution of the U.S. military into fighting for interests fundamentally opposed to America's own? This is the anarcho-tyranny Samuel Francis diagnosed decades ago, a managerial elite (see Anarcho-Tyranny: The Dialectic of Disorder and Control in Western Governance) who governs its own citizens with an iron fist while pointing the nation's actual military power at causes that have nothing to do with defending the country footing the bill. It really comes down to "liars and thieves are constitutionally incapable of recognising the truth of their own work." A recent alleged incident aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, in which reports claim seven sailors were killed, only lays bare the deeper rot within the US military, even as the Pentagon demands a so-called defense budget of $1.5 trillion. The entire spectacle is preposterous and has reached outrageous proportions. In addition to this, Russia is apparently now going on the offensive in the Pacific region. Given Russia's Pacific Fleet posture with its Yasen-M SSGNs, Kalibr/Zircon/Onyx-armed submarines, and stated readiness to target commercial shipping, how is the US military planning to counter Russia's potential threat to navigation in the Pacific?

Asbestos, mold and crumbling walls: The US military's Pacific bases are falling apart

By Michael Peck | August 12, 2026

Mold, asbestos and crumbling walls are only some of the issues plaguing the U.S. military’s Pacific bases, according to a Pentagon watchdog.

At Camp Courtney and Kadena and Yokota Air Bases in Japan, investigators with the Defense Department Office of Inspector General found "visible corrosion, visible mold, visible fire damage, visible cracks on the building exterior and interior, visible concrete spalling and exposed rebar, water intrusion, lead‑based paint, asbestos‑containing material and inoperable communication connections."

Basketball was invented in 1891 by...

Editor's note: ...James Naismith, a white Canadian of Scottish ancestry, at a YMCA training school in Springfield, Massachusetts, and was first organized as a professional sport by white Americans, Fred Cooper arranged and played in the initial professional game in Trenton, New Jersey, in 1896, while Horace Fogel formed the first professional league in 1898, with early play occurring primarily among white teams and institutions in the Northeast. Black Americans subsequently adopted the game and grafted it onto their own unique experiences and subculture within American life, developing distinctive styles, independent teams, and eventual high levels of excellence. What Black communities might have done in the absence of basketball's invention remains unknowable; in more recent decades becuase of cultural Marxism like some sort of uncontrollable metastasizing cancer, has wormed its way into the sport potentially destroying it for both Blacks and Whites. The overriding concern here is who exactly is it pitting Whites against Blacks in this culture war?
