Pennsylvania nannies from the nanny state go after the Amish

Editor's note: The Amish population in North America has reached about 421,340 in 2026, growing roughly 32 percent since 2017 and doubling about every 20 years, driven by large families and high retention. Pennsylvania remains the largest Amish state, with about 96,500 people (roughly 23% of the U.S. total), an 18% increase since 2020. Its Lancaster settlement alone holds around 44,000. Still, high land costs are pushing some young Amish families out of Lancaster County toward central and northwestern Pennsylvania, and to states such as Kentucky, Wisconsin, Missouri, and Indiana. Growth in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana has slowed to under 2% a year, while newer settlements in the Mountain West, including South Dakota and Montana, are growing much faster from small bases. Pennsylvania's Amish are spreading out rather than leaving. From current statistics, there is approximately an 11 percent (likely not confirmed) uptake in vaccines within Amish communities.

PA Public Health Officials Target Amish Door-to-Door For Measles Vaccine Re-Education, On-Site Injection

By Benjamin Bartee | September 27 2026

In Pennsylvania Amish country, an obese and remarkably homely nurse in the employ of the state public health authority, Dale Weiser, pictured in all of her plus-sized glory HERE, has been going door-to-door with an arsenal of measles vaccines in tow to "encourage" vaccine uptake among the community that "abstains from Western medicine" – in other words, a community full of domestic terrorists begging for the business end of the long arm of the law. 

The Blockade Is Working. That's the Problem.

Editor's note: It is being overstated by Armstrong Economics what the oil tanker blockade and sanctions have achieved. Independent trackers do show a steep drop in Iranian crude reaching China, but enforcement so far amounts to dozens of ships redirected, disabled, or boarded, not a sealed coast, and even analysts (the experts) who call the blockade effective say loaded crude only "probably" fails to get through. Iran still holds meaningful buffers, including tens of millions of barrels on tankers in Asia, room for more onshore storage, and floating inventories that were drawn down by roughly 28 million barrels in August alone. That means oil is still being converted into revenue. The pressure is also reversible, since Iran's loadings rebounded after the first blockade ended in June, and the idled tankers off Sri Lanka are fleet capacity waiting to resume, not capacity destroyed. Meanwhile, the cost side of the ledger is ignored here. The market is already tight, with Gulf exports down by nearly half, a key Saudi bypass pipeline damaged, and fuel prices setting records, so removing Iran's remaining barrels adds to a supply shock that is only partly of the blockade's making. The blockade is a real and painful lever, but it is an incomplete and costly one, and the claim that geography has permanently closed off the market is probably premature.

The Blockade Has Done What Sanctions Could Not

September 28, 2026 | By Martin Armstrong

For years, Washington proclaimed that sanctions would shut down Iranian oil exports. They never did. Iran adapted because markets ALWAYS adapt. Tehran assembled a shadow fleet, tankers switched off transponders, cargoes changed identities, oil moved ship to ship, and payments bypassed Western banking channels while China continued buying the crude. Even during Trump's maximum-pressure campaign in 2019 and 2020, Iranian oil continued passing through the Strait of Hormuz. Washington could sanction the paperwork, banks, insurance companies, and ships, but somebody still wanted the oil. The blockade has changed everything because you cannot hide geography.

The Smithsonian Left Football Off Its List. Maybe It Was Right.

Editor's note: It has been called the "National Fake League" as sarcasm replacing the National Football League because professional football in America has been elevated to what seems like the epitome of human cultural accomplishment. The fanboys of this clearly staged and faked professional entertainment business worth billions of dollars every year are in a category of their own. The National Fake League has become a stage for athletes who see themselves as the pinnacle of human achievement, histrionically dramatizing every routine tackle, ostentatiously choreographing end-zone celebrations, and shamelessly showboating for the cameras until the bloated spectacle of their own self-importance eclipses the game itself, while a vast pipeline of college players, nearly all of them dreaming of an NFL roster spot, chase the same prize of status, fame, and money, treating four years of college as little more than an audition for the National Fake League. The Smithsonian thinks they are "insignificant." Maybe for a good reason:

Trump Hands Americans' Private Data to Palantir — And Nobody's Stopping Him

Editor's note: Palantir with no-bid contracts with the US government looks to be moving towards taking over and running government agencies and if that happens thousands of US government employees will be forced to quit. The Trump administration is quietly building the surveillance state (see NET Zero, AI And Technocracy: What Happens To Freedom In A Surveillance Society?) Americans were warned about, and Palantir is holding the shovel. Since a March 2025 executive order demanded "data sharing" across federal agencies, Palantir has landed a $10 billion Army contract, embedded engineers inside the IRS, and built the ICE tracking tool that just got caught receiving Medicaid data on millions of people it was never supposed to have. Agencies are stonewalling FOIA requests, courts are being asked to force disclosure, and even Palantir's own former employees are begging the company to stop. This isn't hypothetical anymore. It's happening in real time, with your bank records, tax filings, and health data as the raw material, and almost no legal guardrail strong enough to stop it.

Stargate: President Trump Contracts Palantir To Steal Data And Create Master Database On All Americans

The Trump administration has expanded Palantir's work across the federal government in recent months.

By The Witness | June 2, 2026

Per a New York Times report, President Donald Trump has tapped CIA-funded and backed Palantir, a data analysis and defense contractor, to collect Americans' personal data to create a new master hub to store this data as part of a federal plan to consolidate and nationalize this data.

In March, President Trump signed an executive order - "Stopping Waste, Fraud, and Abuse by Eliminating Information Silos" - that instructs government agencies to share data with each other.

"...people will have to die."

Editor's note: This blog has repeatedly posted about a coming war that is being planned against Russia. This aggressive push for war is originating in the UK and within European political structures. The obscenity of it all. Obviously, the Russians know what is coming and are well prepared. In fact, they are so well prepared Russian industrial factories can manufacture more artillery rounds in a month than the US, the UK and Europe combined can produce in a year. The British political class and the UK media are gearing up a major propaganda effort generating fear of Russia and that the only way to "stop Russia" is by war. Comments by the prominent Jacob Rees-Mogg illustrate this intent as Alex Krainer points out below. It was Oswald Rayner, a British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) agent stationed in Russia during World War I and a close Oxford friend of Prince Felix Yusupov, who by several accounts fired the fatal shot in the murder of Grigori Rasputin on the night of December 16 to 17, 1916 that ignited the Bolshevik Revolution. If you want to understand WWI as it actually felt to the men living through it, rather than as it's remembered, read Robert Graves' Good-Bye to All That. The book is unflinching and often darkly funny account of trench life, senseless slaughter, and shattered illusions remaining one of the most honest firsthand records of World War I ever written.

The Coup Poll: What a New Survey Claims About Democratic Values

Editor's note: Imagine that? The Democratic Party are petty thieves. Law professor Jonathan Turley cites a Center for Strategic Politics survey claiming 59% of polled Democrats would feel positive about the US military removing Trump from office (also see When Did a Military Coup Become Acceptable in America?), alongside 87% backing impeachment and 84% backing 25th Amendment removal; Turley also flags the same poll's findings on rising support among Democrats for public ownership of grocery stores (46%) and restaurants (39%), using it to argue the party has drifted toward "socialism" and constitutional recklessness. Americans are being battered around like abused wives between the communists and the socialists.

Nepalese PM Balendra Shah told the UN General Assembly ("arrogant parasites")...

Editor's note: ...on September 24 that the world has "flawless logistics for war and broken logistics for food," pointing to fertilizer, fuel, and bitumen shortages at home while weapons cross borders without friction. He tied this to Nepal's recent disaster (an August 26 avalanche and flash floods that killed over 1,400 people, with more than 6,000 still missing) and pitched a joint Himalayan climate resilience plan with India and China, plus grant-based (not debt-based) disaster recovery funding for poorer nations. This is precisely what Nepalese PM Balendra Shah was referring to when he stated at the UN the "flawless logistics for war and broken logistics for food." On September 17-18, 2026 the US State Department (the node in America of the international architecture above nations) front sales office announced it had approved a potential $24.3 billion sale of F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, with Saudi Arabia "requesting 48 jets plus 49 Pratt & Whitney F135-PW-100 engines." The UN Security Council just "affirmed Saudi Arabia's right to self-defense" demanding the Houthis halt their attacks on the petro kingdom. The Saudi's with US and British assistance have been bombing the crap out of Yemen for more than ten years and somehow $24 billion in Lockheed Martin F-35 aircraft are going to end Houthi's attacks on Saudi Arabia?

Over 50 tons (about 100,000 volumes) have been exported to the US, and while no buyer has been identified, it echoes Anthropic's confirmed "Project Panama," in which court filings revealed the company bought, scanned, and destroyed millions of physical books to train Claude (Anthropic), a practice a judge ruled was fair use. No link between the Japan case and Anthropic has been confirmed. Separately, Japan currently has roughly 110 to 130 data centers, with an estimated 50 to 80 more planned or under construction amid an AI-driven building boom.

This is how the mechanism of replacement population works

Editor's note: US Senator Ted Cruz and Texas Governor Greg Abbott (see Who's Been Messing with Texas?) drew cheers at a Republican convention for vowing to ban Sharia law, while Muslim Americans describe Sharia in the US context as personal religious guidance on prayer, fasting, charity, and virtue, comparable to Jewish or Christian religious codes, and reject claims it threatens the Constitution. While it should be applauded that Cruz wants to "save America", we shouldn't use religion to get that messy job accomplished. The question here is Sharia law a "Trojan Horse?" Is Sharia law inherently violent toward non-believers, are moderate and extremist Muslims meaningfully distinct and does Sharia-controlled "no-go zones" exist in the US, citing Hamtramck, Michigan. No legal system other than the Constitution should operate in the US and can be considered an urgent societal discourse Americans are late coming to the table to discuss.

TAXES = DEATH: The Social Security Scam, Replacement Migration & The Intelligence-Industrial Complex

The British Engineers Helping Ukraine Hit Russia — While NATO Says It's "Not Involved"

Editor's note: Louis Mosley is CEO of Palantir UK, a role he took after working in finance, including at Santander UK, before joining Palantir in 2016. He previously served as a Conservative councillor for Kensington and Chelsea from 2011 to 2014, and is the grandson of Oswald Mosley, founder of the British Union of Fascists. As Palantir UK's chief, he has become a prominent defender of the company's contracts with British institutions like the NHS and Ministry of Defence, work that has drawn scrutiny over privacy, deportations, and military operations. Why is Loius Mosey as CEO of Palantir being mentioned? Because it is Palantir running the software for targeting data for drones being launched off of civilian trucks inside Ukraine close to the Russia border. This is probably why the Russian military has been destroying gas stations in Ukraine. Those civilian trucks are being fueled up at those gas stations and then after launching drones can be easily hidden inside garages and warehouses. British engineers from Palantir, working alongside Ukrainian counterparts, reportedly developed software that maps drone routes to evade Russian air defenses, using commercial satellite imagery and signals intelligence. These offensive drone strikes have fueled speculation that factors into Russia's continued strikes on Ukrainian data infrastructure. Now we come to this report by El Mundo claiming "the CIA warned European governments that Russia might hide drones aboard merchant ships to strike Spain, France, or Italy and other European countries." This is another fabricated story by western sources likely meant to target Russia's "shadow fleet."

Europe has apparently found its next Russian horror story: drones hidden aboard merchant ships, sailing quietly into the Mediterranean before suddenly striking Spain, France or Italy. And right on cue comes the CIA, with El Mundo reporting that US intelligence has "warned" European governments of precisely such a Russian plan. One small problem: even Italy's defence minister says the supposed alert has not been confirmed. The bigger question is even simpler — why would Russia risk turning civilian shipping into disposable drone platforms when it already possesses far more effective ways of hitting anything it actually wants to hit?

Sold to Brussels, Sold on Death: What's Really Happening to Canada

Editor's note: Grant Abraham (author of Battle for the Soul of Canada: Firing the Forge), founder of Canada's Reforge Party, appeared on Rich Does Politics to discuss the upcoming October 19th Alberta Referendum, a non-binding vote on Alberta independence. Abraham argues the real issue isn't Alberta leaving, but what he calls Canada's ongoing transformation into a "post-national state," a shift he traces to Justin Trudeau's 2015 comments and says became more visible to Canadians during COVID. Abraham frames Alberta's independence movement as a way to preserve traditional Canadian identity, and suggests it could eventually help reunite the country on different terms. They also discuss EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen recently inviting Canada to become an "Associate Member" of the EU, an offer Prime Minister Mark Carney has moved quickly to pursue, with some conservative commentators raising concerns about what closer EU ties, including possible Schengen Area alignment, could mean for immigration policy.

"Piss Off Jacob Rees Mogg, you pompous prick."

Editor's note: As Godfrey Bloom remarks, concerning Jacob Rees-Mogg telling the working class their duty and to "do the decent thing" by joining up to go to the front: "Over the top, people, good luck, and I will see you at my club." Bloom goes on to say, "Leave for the front, get the old uniform on, polish up the bayonet, and remember your days in the school corps." Bloom says he was not a contemporary of Rees-Mogg and Boris Johnson at Eton, but he does know, and got it through the grapevine, that whenever there was rough and tumble with Rees-Mogg, he always had a crumpled-up letter from the matron in his pocket. And when he was called up for anything dangerous at all, he would whip the letter out and say, "Look, I would love to go to the front, I'd love to leave for the front, I'm a roughy-toughy sort of guy, as everyone can tell just by looking at me, but I've got this note from the matron, and I've got this bloody verruca and this dodgy knee and all the rest of it. But good luck, you fellows, and you working-class people, over the top you go, and I'll see you at the club."

 

Russia and China now settle close to 90 percent...

Editor's note: ...of their bilateral trade in rubles and yuan, a shift accelerated by US sanctions since 2022, and central banks worldwide bought roughly 863 tonnes of gold in 2025 with about 755 tonnes projected for 2026 as countries hedge against dollar dependence. On September 20, 2026, Trump signed the Graham-Blumenthal sanctions law, dubbed sanctions "from hell" by RT, authorizing tariffs up to 100 percent on countries buying Russian energy and up to 500 percent on direct Russian imports. Taken together, the sanctions law (see Sanctions Have Become Economic Warfare), the Russia-China de-dollarization trend, and the AfD's push for renewed Russian gas ties can reasonably be read as facets of the same broader contest: Washington trying to keep sanctions pressure and dollar-based leverage intact while Moscow works to erode both through alternative currencies and cracks in Western political unity. And so we have global war continuing given to us by our mafia bosses who are setting us up for WWIII as they do another "Drang nach Osten."

Trump signs off on Russia sanctions 'from hell': Who could get hit?

The new law authorizes the US president to impose secondary tariffs for key buyers of Russian energy 

September 21, 2026 | By RT

US President Donald Trump has signed into law a sweeping expansion of sanctions against Russia, giving Washington new powers to target Moscow as well as major buyers of Russian energy. The legislation authorizes tariffs of up to 100% on goods from certain countries purchasing Russian oil and gas, while imports from Russia could face duties of up to 500%.

Earlier this year during the continuing US-Iran shooting match, a US special operations analyst used an AI chatbot to help draft an intelligence report claiming a Chinese ship in the Middle East was carrying nuclear weapons components. The military began preparing to intercept and board the vessel, with armed personnel and aircraft in motion, before officials discovered the report was AI-generated and the cargo identification was inaccurate. The report, which had fused open-source and classified intelligence, was later confirmed "entirely false."

...is what Pentagon and CIA will use increasingly often because somebody told them that a garbage collector, aka Neural Networks, are somehow "intelligent".

The intelligence report, circulated across the US military this spring in the midst of the war with Iran, immediately set off alarm bells: A Chinese ship in the Middle East was transporting components of a nuclear weapons program. The US military swung into action with plans to intercept the vessel, according to four sources familiar with the episode. According to two of the sources, armed members of the US military were preparing to board the ship. Military planes were in the air, one of those sources and another source familiar with the incident said. It was only just before the planned operation that officials dug deeper into the report put together by a special operations command analyst and found it had been generated with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) — and that a chatbot the analyst had used inaccurately identified the material the ship was carrying. CNN was not able to learn what the misidentified cargo was. The report, according to one of the sources, was “entirely false."

No New Fees, No New Caps: Trump's Latest H-1B Order Bets on Federal Coordination Instead

Editor's note: The most recent Executive Order (number hasn't been issued yet) directs federal agencies to tighten oversight of the H-1B visa program, which allows companies to hire foreign workers for specialty jobs, because the administration says the program has been widely misused by employers and outsourcing firms to replace American workers with cheaper foreign labor (like trucking companies) rather than filling genuine skills gaps. It requires the State Department, Labor Department, and Homeland Security Department to coordinate with the Commerce Department, Education Department, and Small Business Administration when reviewing H-1B applications, sharing wage, employment, and industry data to catch violations of existing visa laws. It instructs officials to factor in whether a sponsoring company has recently laid off American workers or plans to do so when deciding whether to approve that company's H-1B petitions and visas. It also orders the Labor Department to begin reviewing past wage applications within 30 days to determine whether enforcement action is warranted against employers who may have violated pay requirements. The order does not create a new fee, cap, or outright ban; it focuses on stricter interagency review and enforcement of rules already on the books, and it takes effect immediately under existing law and available funding.
