This all started in Black communities after...

Editor's note: ...James Earl Ray was picked up in Montreal, Canada at the Neptune Tavern, at 121 West Commissioners Street by his handler, Raoul (later gave Ray $2,000 to buy the Mustang car), probably some intelligence agency, the FBI, maybe even a US military operative, with Ray being vectored into Memphis and used as the patsy in Martin Luther King's murder on April 4, 1968. The Civil Rights Bill of 1968 lost all of its steam in the US Congress during March, 1968. Knowledgable Black Americans saw right through the bill and both whites and blacks clearly did not want this legislation. Suddenly, King is murdered and six days later the Civil Rights Bill of 1968 is passed through the US House 249 to 171. The merchant warlocks removed King, federal credit expanded exponentially sucking billions into usurious witchcraft contracts, local police became federalized (American flag on their sleeves) while Black communities were chained to perversion and disrespect, drug dependency, domestic bloodshed, economic misery leaving abysmally ignorant Blacks to their own failures. The lying political rulers and wicked psychopaths gave America Martin Luther King Day to mock you while Blacks in America's inner cities today are gunning each other down...

The results are in for the hack writer Karl Marx...

Editor's note: ...and his financier Friedrich Engels and their creation of cultural Marxism: total failure. Engels supported Marx because "they shared a lifelong political and intellectual partnership aimed at developing and promoting revolutionary communism/scientific socialism." Marx's economic theory is a catastrophic intellectual failure because its core claims were falsified by reality at every turn. The labor theory of value is nonsense: prices are set by subjective marginal utility and scarcity, not by hours of toil, which is why diamonds cost (a total marketing scam of "engineered scarcity" set in motion by DeBeers) more than water and why markets allocate resources far better than any planner. His prediction that capitalism would progressively impoverish the working class collapsed as real wages, life expectancy, and living standards exploded under market systems. The supposed iron tendency of the rate of profit to fall never produced the terminal crisis he promised. Worse, every serious attempt to implement his "scientific" vision required the abolition of private property and market prices, instantly destroying the information and incentives needed for rational production, and delivered only shortages, stagnation, mass famines, and police states. Far from liberating humanity, Marxism repeatedly produced the most efficient engines of poverty and tyranny the modern world has seen. And that was the intended consequences out of the City of London as the nexus of central banking all along. America is "reaping the benefits" of cultural Marxism...the US Government was indeed using Marxism as a precursor to fascism.

WOKE FAILURE: More Than 3,000 University of California Professors Demand Return of SAT After "Equity" Experiment Leaves Incoming Students Unable to Do Basic Math

By Jim Hᴏft | August 8, 2026 | 558 Comments

The University of California's grand experiment with "equity" in college admissions is running headfirst into an inconvenient reality: thousands of professors say incoming students are showing up without the basic academic skills needed to handle university coursework.

Americans have probably up until now...

Editor's note: ...shrugged off the constant tip prompts as just another American quirk until their friends and strangers alike get quietly drained by them week after week. Every time a screen flashes those preset percentages it feels less like generosity and more like a soft demand that we cover someone else's payroll. Tipping has become some kind of religious-like deceptive entitlement act every time you finish a meal at a restaurant. That quiet coercion is exactly how socialist habits take root: shift the cost of wages onto the public, call it kindness, and shame anyone who resists. The essay that follows lays out why this system of tipping in America has gone too far and why Japan's approach exposes the whole racket for what it is.

America's Tipping Epidemic Is Out of Control — Japan Proves We Don't Need It

August 7, 2026 | AD News Network

Tipping in America has spiraled into an exhausting, guilt-ridden obligation that no longer serves its original purpose of rewarding exceptional service. What began as a voluntary gesture of appreciation has expanded into a near-mandatory surcharge across nearly every transaction, from sit-down restaurants and ride shares to coffee counters, takeout windows, and even self-service kiosks. Surveys consistently show the public has had enough. A 2025 Bankrate survey found that 63 percent of Americans hold at least one negative view of tipping, with 41 percent explicitly stating that tipping culture has gotten out of control. A WalletHub survey from the same period reported that nearly 90 percent of respondents believe tipping has gone haywire, and 83 percent support banning automatic service charges. A 2026 Popmenu survey of 1,000 adults found that 78 percent consider current tipping practices "ridiculous," while 44 percent said they are tipping less than the previous year.

A leaked memo, a cyber attack and 2026 being the WEF's "Year of Water"...

Editor's note: ...should be considered another media-driven campaign. This time over water. The Guardian cannot be trusted as a reliable news source, as its coverage of recent cyber incidents at US water facilities in Minnesota and other states leads with the claim that Iran is behind the attacks based largely on anonymous officials, while downplaying the lack of public attribution from the FBI and highlighting Trump's criticism of Minnesota instead. This framing, which echoes reports from other outlets citing suspected Iranian-linked actors amid ongoing tensions, has the hallmarks of British propaganda aimed at amplifying a narrative of foreign aggression rather than sticking strictly to verified facts. That's right, another "leaked memo" from some anonymous source is pretty standard with these types of propaganda ploys to frighten the public. It is interesting that just before this alleged cyber attack on Minnesota related to the water supply, the World Economic Forum (WEF) proclaimed 2026 the "Year of Water." If anyone wants to conserve water - and lower water utility bills - fix your damn leaking toilets.

The water Wars Have Begun

August 6, 2026 | By Martin Armstrong

The World Economic Forum has openly proclaimed 2026 the "Year of Water" and has introduced what it calls "Blue Davos," bringing freshwater, ocean policy, food security, investment, and the so-called blue economy together beneath one institutional umbrella. The Forum states that its annual meeting will concentrate on "freshwater access and management, blue food security and ocean protection." Those words may sound harmless to anyone who has never studied how political power actually expands, but management always means that someone will decide who receives a resource, how much they may use, what price they must pay, and under what conditions access may be withdrawn.

This fits a long-standing Russian (and earlier Soviet/Imperial) pattern...

Editor's note: ...rather than an abrupt departure. Russia's history is marked by repeated large-scale wars and invasions, including the Napoleonic invasion, World War I, the catastrophic Great Patriotic War (WWII) with its enormous human cost and victory narrative, Afghanistan ("lured in by Big Z"), the Chechen wars, Georgia 2008, and the ongoing Russian SMO into Ukraine, plus sustained military-patriotic education, cadet systems, Victory Day rituals, and state emphasis on readiness against external threats. Generations have grown up with war as a central national experience and identity marker; military service, veterans' cults, and early exposure to defense themes have been normalized in education and Russian culture for decades. Expanding formal military content for children (including in occupied territories) is therefore a continuation and intensification of that tradition, aimed at ensuring a larger, earlier-prepared pool of personnel and ideological commitment. In that historical light, systematic preparation of youth for defense and potential conflict (see "Russians are the wrong people to fvck with") is presented by Russian authorities as pragmatic continuity rather than anything new. The measures described, doubling instructional time, combat engineering, drone skills, camps, and inclusion of girls, directly serve the stated aim of forming a broader mobilization base for the long term.

Russia Doubles Military Training for Children Through 2036, Including in Occupied Parts of Ukraine

In brief: Russia is expanding military training for children, including in occupied Ukrainian territories, and raising the share of mandatory instruction to 50% of school time from Sept. 1, 2026. Human right groups warned Wednesday, Aug. 5 that the program, planned through 2036, targets both boys and girls to build a future mobilization reserve.

Look on the bright side, at least AI can...

Editor's note: ..."speed up the kill chain" for military applications (see America's new "manifest destiny"). Apparently, it is worth repeating: artificial intelligence is being driven mostly by marketing hype. That is pretty much standard US corporate policy greasing the wheels of Wall Street. Here is another example of why this is true just in case readers might think AI will take over civilization and kill off human interlopers. Recent headlines about OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta AIs "going rogue" are being sold as genuine threats, yet the pattern of companies eagerly publicizing their own systems' supposed escapes looks far more like coordinated marketing and fear-mongering than accidental disaster. By framing routine test failures as sci-fi-style breakouts, Silicon Valley and the complicit media are inflating the technology's power while priming the public for digital ID schemes, kill-switch laws and tighter surveillance sold as protection against the very systems they built. Call it what it is: a protection racket. The real danger is not runaway code but the predictable push to use manufactured AI panic as cover for expanding control (the surveillance state) over regular people.

Are You Ready for the "Rogue AI" Psy-Op?

By Kit Knightly | August 5, 2026

The AIs are breaking free, that’s the story.

It started two weeks ago, when OpenAI reported one of their "agents" had escaped its testing area and got loose on the internet to launch an "unprecedented cyber attack".

This was clearly meant to be scarier than the public response indicated, because a few days later OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was on the Invest like the Best podcast, asking why it didn't cause more panic:

Hypothetical Future War Scenario: The Cascade Conflict of 2034

Editor's note: In the mid-2030s, escalating tensions between major rival countries, call them the "Atlantic Alliance" and the "Eurasian Compact", erupt into open conventional conflict after a series of cyber intrusions and proxy clashes. A proxy clash like with what we are seeing with Britain's proxy war on Russia using Ukraine where drone and robotic technology are being experimented on and tested out. Neither side seeks full on kinetic escalation; both instead turn to swarms of AI-driven autonomous systems designed for precision infrastructure warfare.

Within the first 72 hours, each coalition deploys large numbers of long-range, low-observable drones and ground-based robotic platforms guided by real-time AI targeting networks. These systems do not require constant human control. They receive high-level objectives (disable enemy command-and-control capacity, degrade economic resilience, sever digital logistics) and then autonomously select and prosecute targets using satellite feeds, electronic intelligence, and on-board sensors.

Surface data centers become priority targets. They are highly visible, generate distinctive thermal and electromagnetic signatures, and serve as the backbone for everything from financial clearing systems and military logistics software to civilian cloud services and AI model inference. AI planners on both sides rank them alongside power substations, fiber-optic hubs, and water treatment plants.

Anthropic faced a major copyright lawsuit from...

Editor's note: ...authors after it bulk-purchased millions of physical books, stripped their bindings by cutting them off with a hydraulic press, scanned the pages, and discarded the originals to build training data for its Claude AI models, while also downloading millions more from pirate sites. A federal judge later ruled the destructive scanning of lawfully bought books was fair use, but found the piracy unlawful, leading Anthropic to settle the piracy claims for $1.5 billion. The episode revealed the company’s willingness to physically destroy books at industrial scale (modern day book burning) in pursuit of AI advantage, raising serious concerns about its approach to cultural materials and intellectual property. Although this is older news about Anthropic, the point is those who are concerned should head out right now and begin collecting every old book they can find, carefully preserving them so these physical copies remain safe from the kind of industrial-scale scanning and destruction that companies have already carried out. Anthropic is another example of corporate irrational power. The sense of entitlement on display feels rooted in the same monopolistic Rockefeller mindset that has shown up in other powerful corporations, prioritizing control and profit in a way that often seems misanthropic and indifferent to broader human costs. That kind of mindset is driven by pride, outright greed and unchecked ambition unhinged from all moral and ethical constraints. Whether framed in psychological or cultural terms, it is inverting priorities away from ordinary human welfare.

Anthropic to pay authors $1.5 billion to settle lawsuit over pirated books used to train AI chatbots

By Matt O'Brien | September 7, 2025

NEW YORK (AP) — Artificial intelligence company Anthropic has agreed to pay $1.5 billion to settle a class-action lawsuit by book authors who say the company took pirated copies of their works to train its chatbot.

The landmark settlement, if approved by a judge as soon as Monday, could mark a turning point in legal battles between AI companies and the writers, visual artists and other creative professionals who accuse them of copyright infringement.

Powering up to 945 TWh by 2030

Editor's note: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was quoted as saying, "Cyber is a real domain of power," reflecting Israel's (the "6th eye") focus on cybersecurity as a strategic national capability. In the US, former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and former DHS Chief of Staff Chad Sweet, founded The Chertoff Group (includes data center security risk management), a private security and risk-management advisory firm that works with government agencies, defense companies, and critical infrastructure organizations. The firm's leadership has direct DHS experience, and The Chertoff Group has received a DHS SAFETY Act designation for its security risk-management methodology. Chertoff has also continued involvement with DHS through roles such as serving on the Homeland Security Advisory Council. Chertoff, has professional ties to Israel through cybersecurity, technology, and security-sector relationships. Chertoff's documented connection to the USA PATRIOT Act is that, before becoming Secretary of Homeland Security, he served as Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division at the U.S. Department of Justice (2001–2003), where he helped develop and implement the Bush administration's post-9/11 counterterrorism policies and was involved in the drafting of the USA PATRIOT Act (it was drawn up well before the events of 9/11). The following republished information is a follow-up to yesterday's post on the rapid expansion of data center construction and the infrastructure demands behind the AI boom.

The Real Reason Behind Data Centers

By Elite Info News | May 27, 2026

Somewhere on the outskirts of a mid-sized American city, behind a fence of black steel and cameras with no visible brand markings, sits a building of tremendous and deliberate ordinaries. It has no windows. Its parking lot is half-empty. A low mechanical hum radiates through its cinder-block walls — the sound of ten thousand servers breathing in unison, drawing power and expelling heat in an endless industrial metabolism. Precision cooling systems push chilled air through raised floors at regulated temperatures. Indicator lights blink in rhythmic patterns across rack after rack of hardware, each unit quietly processing what the modern world has decided to call "the cloud." The air smells faintly of electricity. Nobody who does not need to be there ever is.

The use of eminent domain to seize private land...

Editor's note: ...for transmission lines serving AI data centers is straightforward legalized theft: utilities and governments can override a landowner's refusal, impose a bureaucratically determined "just compensation," and ultimately force removal by armed agents, all while cloaking corporate benefit under the elastic label of "public use" (See Government Will Steal Your Land to Feed the AI Machine). At some point these corporations will claim it is for "national security." This process discards generational ownership, personal investment, and community opposition, evidenced by widespread local resistance to data centers' heavy demands on electricity and water (even though some facilities use closed cooling systems), as well as their noise and pollution burdens, in favor of opaque corporate interests that often remain unnamed. As past cases such as Georgia Power's acquisitions, the Kelo decision, and other seizures for pipelines or housing mandates demonstrate, both the Democratic and Republican parties treat private property as conditional occupancy rather than a genuine right, revocable whenever politically connected firms (don't underestimate the power of politically connected corporations) or agendas demand the land, rendering the entire mechanism a tool of state-enforced corporatism rather than free-market exchange.

Israel is home to thousands of international criminals accused or found guilty in a second country for committing a wide-variety of crimes.

Many of the individuals are dual-nationals who have taken advantage of their ability to move seamlessly between Israel and their second country of citizenship to commit crimes and, in some cases, evade justice.

Direct hit on US drone manufacturer Terminal Autonomy

Investigative Report: Russia's Strike on the Terminal Autonomy Drone Factory in Kyiv

August 2, 2026 | AD News Network

In the early hours of 30 July 2026, Russia launched a ballistic missile strike against a drone manufacturing facility operated by Terminal Autonomy, a U.S.-owned defense technology company headquartered in California. The factory, located in Kyiv, Ukraine, produced AI-guided loitering munitions and long-range strike drones that have been supplied to Ukrainian forces during the war. The attack is believed to be the first publicly reported Russian strike on a manufacturing facility owned by an American defense company operating inside Ukraine.

According to reporting, the building was struck by a Russian ballistic missile, which destroyed the production facility. Russian state media acknowledged that the target was a drone factory operated by a "Ukrainian-American company," although it did not emphasize that the company itself was American-owned. While the exact missile variant has not been officially confirmed by either side, reporting identified it only as a Russian ballistic missile, consistent with the types of missiles Russia has routinely employed against military-industrial targets in Kyiv.

The City of London Faces Warnings of Potential Financial Turmoil (the fiat era is nearing its implosion)

Editor's note: A warning circulating from financial commentator Lord Belgrave claims that the City of London is preparing for a major market disruption, citing a sequence of events involving oil market instability, a potential unwinding of the yen carry trade, a liquidity crisis, and broader systemic stress. The recent currency market interventions involving the U.S. dollar, euro, and Japanese yen is evidence that authorities are attempting to manage growing financial pressures. This could cause trillions of dollars in yen-funded investment losses if borrowing costs rise and the carry trade reverses. Critics, however, note that predictions of imminent financial collapse have frequently appeared during periods of market volatility and require further evidence. The debate highlights growing concerns over global debt levels, currency instability, and the vulnerability of the current financial system.

The Bank of Japan's (BoJ) decision to delay further interest rate hikes has fueled speculation that global financial pressures, including U.S. concerns over markets and the yen carry trade, are influencing Japan's monetary policy. Keeping rates low risks prolonging economic distortions and increasing the eventual cost of adjustment, while Japan explores alternatives such as digital assets as part of its evolving financial strategy. The broader concern is that unresolved global debt and currency imbalances are going to trigger a major market disruption. This spells the end of the yen carry trade. The war in Iran is all about the survival of the petrodollar. The end of the petrodollar would likely weaken America’s financial privilege in the short term, raising borrowing costs and reducing geopolitical leverage, but it could also force a healthier economic adjustment by encouraging domestic production, savings, and fiscal responsibility.

Is eBay Facing a New Marketplace Rival? Meta's AI-Powered Seller App Signals a Shift in Online Commerce

Editor's more: Meta's expansion of Facebook Marketplace with new AI-powered selling tools could mark a turning point in online commerce and provide a serious alternative to eBay. The new Seller app is designed to make listing products faster, simplify inventory management, and help users find buyers more efficiently. While eBay still has a large global marketplace, many sellers are frustrated with fees, competition, and platform restrictions. As Meta combines AI technology with its massive user base, more consumers and sellers will begin looking elsewhere, raising the question of whether eBay's era of dominance and its ruthless tactics are coming to an end. In today’s marketplace, users are increasingly looking for a better deal, easier tools, and platforms that better serve their interests.

eBay to pay $56 MILLION to elderly couple after staff sent live cockroaches, fetal pig to their home in retaliation against critical newsletter coverage

The Steiners ran an e-commerce industry newsletter called EcommerceBytes that had run negative coverage of eBay.

E-commerce giant eBay has settled a lawsuit and agreed to shell out $56 million to a couple that its staff targeted with live cockroaches, a fetal pig, death threats, as well as in-person surveillance.

The shop and selling platform and several of its top executives have agreed to pay $56 million in compensation to David and Ina Steiner, an elderly couple in Massachusetts that were targeted by staff at the company in 2019 with anonymous deliveries that included a fetal pig, live cockroaches, live spiders, a bloody pig Halloween mask, a funeral wreath, and a book about surviving the death of a spouse.
