This model is eight centuries old with

Editor's note: ...bonds financing war since their invention: Genoa issued the first recorded public bond in 1150, and Venice followed with the "prestiti" in 1171–72, a forced loan on citizens' wealth that funded a fleet against Byzantium. Both instruments were born from the same pressure, the need to pay for war without bankrupting the state outright, and they were refined over centuries as Venice and Genoa fought each other, the Ottomans, and beyond. Jewish moneylending families in Venice, including Anselmo del Banco (chartered in 1513) and later Abraham del Banco (who helped found the Banco del Giro in 1619), were woven into this same public finance system, though centuries after the prestiti's origin. Three hundred years later, the Warburg family, descended from the same Venetian del Banco lineage, emerged as bankers in Hamburg, founding M.M. Warburg & Co. in 1798, and their descendants went on to shape modern institutions like the U.S. Federal Reserve.

The scale has changed almost unrecognizably since then. Venice's 1171 prestiti raised the funds for a single fleet; by contrast, the U.S. "War on Terror" is approaching $10 trillion in cost to taxpayers 25 years after the September 11th self-inflicted staged attacks, with initial costs for the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts exceeding $8 trillion and roughly $2 trillion more incurred from operations following the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel (intentionally planned and staged to open up a war on Hamas and Gaza) and the conflicts in Yemen and Iran. Much of this, like Venice's wars, has been debt-financed: interest payments on borrowing for the wars are projected to match total spending on the wars themselves by 2030, exceeding $2 trillion. The mechanism, governments borrowing against future revenue to fund war in the present, is eight centuries old. What's changed is the astronomical scale, and the fact that the debt is now serviced through a global bond market rather than a single city-state's forced levies on its wealthiest citizens.

Conman: The Story of "Sir" William Browder

Editor's note: William Browder, a key figure behind repeated attacks on Tulsi Gabbard including during her 2025 DNI nomination, is a corrupt operative who helped drive the discredited 2016 Russiagate claims against President Trump. Browder invented the Magnitsky narrative to shield himself from Russian pursuit over roughly $100 million in alleged tax evasion and financial fraud, with accountant Sergei Magnitsky having organized Browder's corruption before dying in prison. It was Browder and oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky who funded the 2012 Magnitsky Act (dangerous laws based on a hoax), which uniquely protects them by name, and that Browder smeared Gabbard in 2019 after associates screened a documentary exposing his claims as fabrications, while Democratic-linked media and operatives amplified the attacks. Browder was fearful Tulsi Gabbard would reveal the truth behind what it calls his long-running hoax but now that Gabbard has resigned that likely won't happen. Here is Browder telling his version of events...will he discuss his connections to Jeffrey Epstein? Suggesting Putin is "the world's richest man" is impossible because no verified public rankings or transparent asset data place him there, and the claim mainly serves to portray vast wealth itself as inherently criminal.

Salt: The Essential Mineral Your Body Cannot Live Without

Editor's note: Salt is not simply something to avoid, but an essential source of sodium and chloride, minerals the body requires for fluid balance, nerve and muscle function, digestion, stomach acid production and maintaining the body's acid-base balance. The widespread emphasis on aggressively reducing salt intake is examined along with the importance of chloride, hydration, digestion and the relationship between salt and blood pressure. The following republished material with appreciated gratitude, also discusses different dietary sources of salt and argues that the quality and form of the salt we consume deserves  far greater attention, rather than treating all salt as inherently harmful. For anyone who has been told simply to "eat less salt," the information provided at Salt is Good, not Harmful. Countering False Memes of "Harmful", "Dangerous", "Excess" Salt in Food. Salt is Anti-Cancer is worth reading because it presents a detailed alternative perspective on why the body needs salt and the role it plays in maintaining normal physiological function.

The Hidden Secrets of Salt

August 23, 2026 | By A Midwestern Doctor

Article at a glance:

• For 50 years, medicine has waged a misguided war against critical sources of health like salt and sunlight while avoiding discussing the real causes of diseases. Because of this, the dangers of salt are relentlessly focused on despite evidence not supporting them.

• In parallel, the extreme dangers of consuming too little salt are rarely discussed in the medical field—despite dangerously low sodium being one of the most common conditions seen in hospitalized patients, and chronically low sodium greatly increasing one's risk of dying.

What the f*ck is going on?

Editor's note: If you want to see how women in the west destroy culture and civilization (socially engineered for self-destruction), have a listen to the following video clip about AOC (see President AOC's First Term). Perhaps in a related way, in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial - if it hasn't been staged and faked to further destroy women - in Massachusetts, where the white mother is accused of strangling her three young children to death, hundreds of mostly white women have shown up in pink to support her while over 25,000 women nationwide donated nearly a million dollars to her GoFundMe. This reflects how white women demand the right to act without consequences, from supporting child killers to other extreme behaviors, and that white women and women in general have "made America an open air insane asylum" through widespread mental illness, incomprehensible behavior, entitlement attitudes, and rejection of their own men.

Alexander Hamilton and Abraham Lincoln advanced a...

Editor's note: ...centralized financial and political system modeled on British practices that ultimately served the interests of the City of London. Hamilton created a funded national debt, a national bank patterned after the Bank of England (BoE), and policies favoring industrial development and federal power, while Lincoln used wartime authority to establish the National Banking System, greenbacks, high tariffs, and measures that broke the power of Southern agrarian interests. These actions permanently shifted America away from a decentralized Jeffersonian republic of sovereign states toward a credit-based, New York-centered commercial and financial order with this same architecture continuing to underpin modern American finance. The British are consummate adepts at the black arts of news reporting and PSYOP operations. Considering Aaron Burr who shot Hamilton fled back to London and that it is alleged Abraham Lincoln's "assassination" was staged (a manufactured event), could these events be considered PSYOPS to create "martyrs" in order to attach the British central banking model to America?

Hamilton and Lincoln Were the Bad Guys?

By E.M. Burlingame | August 22, 2026

This is an unpopular opinion I am reluctantly coming to more and more—namely, that Hamilton and Lincoln were working for the City of London and were, in fact, bad guys, traitors to the Republic even:

Look at the actions and the structures they left standing. The official stories emphasize necessity, patriotism, and later success. The ledger of what they actually did, and what those acts produced, is different.

The Anti-Corruption Data Collective report flags these "orca" accounts for potential law enforcement scrutiny, notes that their visible blockchain trades could broadcast sensitive details to adversaries, and recommends stronger identity verification on the platform amid related insider-betting cases involving U.S. and Israeli personnel. These alleged military insiders have shamelessly lined their pockets with $8 million in secret Polymarket winnings while more than 750 American service members have been wounded, some seriously, in the ongoing war with Iran. Should we blame these military insiders from profitting off insider information when their "leaders" like Nancy Pelosi did the same thing?

Gamblers have made $8 million on Polymarket betting on military operations

Researchers say the win rate among 152 accounts on Polymarket is so high that they are "the most likely insiders" betting on the site.

By Patty Nieberg | August 20, 2026

A small number of gamblers have made $8 million placing military and defense-related bets on the Polymarket prediction site, most placed by about 150 accounts that almost always bet correctly. The researchers say they suspect the accounts are linked to military insiders who could be flagged for law enforcement as "the most likely potential insiders," researchers said in a new report.

Editor's note: The reported death of Jason Arday, a Black academic at Cambridge who faced plagiarism allegations, is alleged to have been staged by British intelligence as part of a coordinated effort to inflame racial tensions. Arday's death and the protests supporting him, along with unrelated cases in the US (Lindsay Clancy and Karmelo Anthony), are "astroturfed" events likely designed to distract the public and provoke division (race war), with the assertion here Arday is still alive and was "retired" by intelligence agencies. Is this alleged death another psychological OPERATION to incite a race war?

US Academic Who Exposed Plagiarist Jason Arday Is Suspended After Arday Commits Suicide

American academic Nathan Cofnas has been suspended by Belgium’s Ghent University after he helped expose explosive plagiarism allegations involving the late Cambridge professor Jason Arday.

Cofnas announced the suspension on X on Thursday.

Editor's note: ...tomorrow, newborns included, and collect every dollar. It still wouldn't make a dent, because the government burns through that same amount again in interest alone every few months. We are not digging out of a hole. We are sprinting on a treadmill that keeps cranking faster, and no generation alive today will ever see it stop. Reality check: Oligarchs who are the rentier class, hold the assets, real estate, stocks, corporations, that inflation makes more valuable, while the average debt slave (surety for bonds) holds only a paycheck that buys less every month because of the second tax of inflation and a tax bill that keeps climbing to service debt they never voted to take on, so the wealthy become enormously wealthier riding the wave that drowns everyone else. Jeff Booth, a Canadian entrepreneur and author of The Price of Tomorrow, argues that technology is naturally deflationary, meaning left alone, innovation should make goods and services cheaper and more abundant over time. Central banks fight this by continuing to print more money to "manage" debt, and that money creation, not productivity, is what actually drives inflation (see The Cantillion Effect) and crushes average people. Booth sees Bitcoin as a real currency built on fixed supply that no government can inflate away, but he argues it only works if people change how they think: shifting from a mindset of spending fiat before it loses value to saving in a currency that gains purchasing power over time, and rebuilding an economy around holding value instead of consuming it.

$40tn debt: U.S. unhinged empire is a threat to world peace

August 21, 2026 | By Strategic Culture Foundation

The U.S. debt crisis is a legacy of endless war. It is also a harbinger of future wars.

The United States hit a dubious milestone this week, announcing that its national debt had exceeded $40 trillion. No other nation comes close to this level of absolute financial indebtedness.

It seems apparent to close observers...

Editor's note: ...after Tucker Carlson's interview with Hunter Biden, as unsavory as a character as Hunter Biden is, that California's Governor White Teeth and Hunter Biden (thrown under the bus by the Democratic syndicate) are going to be selected for the US presidency and vice president in the 2028 election cycle (the Greek calendar cycle) respectively by the Democratic Party criminal outfit. This seems to be a real possibility despite Biden joking about this possibility. As far as Newsom and Biden are concerned, they have no leadership qualities, they haven't built careers on any identifiable meritocracy or particular talent. Newsom and Biden are, by any honest measure, political placeholders, characters elevated not by talent or vision but by family names and donor money, propped up by the same entrenched mafia state that have hollowed out any remaining Democratic Party credibility. California's high-speed rail is a two-decade wealth transfer dressed up as infrastructure: voters approved $33 billion for a bullet train, and what they got instead was $14.6 billion vaporized into the pockets of politically connected consultants and contractors, zero miles of usable track, an authority that admitted it couldn't even verify what it was paying for, and a deputy project chief investigated for steering contract money toward a firm he personally held stock in. What better definition of racketeering do Americans need even though legally this is not what a wasted $14.6 billion is considered?

Report: Newsom's High Speed Train to Nowhere is Not Arriving Anytime Soon

August 15, 2026 | By Jonathan Turley

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has been frantically trying to restart a presidential campaign that appears moribund, with polls showing him losing in some states to figures such as Pete Buttigieg and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. In his absence, his multibillion-dollar high-speed train also seems to be going nowhere fast. A new report from the state inspector general revealed that the train will be delayed again and that the public is being kept in the dark about ongoing problems with Newsom's signature project. Oh, and one more thing: the project will run out of money by December 2027.

Extra Welfare for Britain's Polygamist Migrants

August 19, 2026 | By Martin Armstrong

You really cannot make this stuff up. Britain does not permit people domiciled in the UK to enter into polygamous marriages, yet buried inside the government's welfare tables is an allowance for an “additional spouse” in certain polygamous marriages legally contracted overseas. For 2026–27, that additional amount under the relevant Pension Credit rules rose from £119.50 to £125.25 per week. That works out to £6,513 annually for each qualifying additional spouse living in the household.

This is precisely the sort of contradiction that destroys confidence in government. Parliament tells British citizens that one legal standard applies inside Britain, but when government encounters a marriage legally created under the laws of another country, certain parts of the welfare system can recognize additional spouses for benefit calculations. The House of Commons Library has confirmed that polygamous marriages considered valid under UK private international law can, in limited circumstances, involve means-tested benefits covering more than one spouse.

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

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:
