The American way: Pay off politicians (corporate whores)

Editor's note: Nothing surprising going on here with Flock Cameras buying off politicians to get their surveillance cameras set up. In the American political system if you want something done you just pay people off. Flock cameras are a corporate surveillance scam sold as safety. The company pays politicians and courts police departments so it can blanket cities with plate readers that track every driver's movements. This isn't crime-fighting, it's mass data collection on ordinary Americans, bought with lobbying cash and public contracts (easily accessible tax revenue). Nothing here is based on merit or necessity; it's pure money and influence. The more cameras they install, the tighter the data surveillance net gets, and the only winners are the vendors receiving local government checks.

Flock Safety Is Financing the Politicians Who Oversee Its Surveillance Contracts

November 10, 2026 | By Martin Armstrong

Why on earth does a company that supposedly sells license plate readers need to contribute to politicians’ campaigns? The Chicago Sun-Times has exposed how Flock Safety has been contributing to the campaigns of local officials whose jurisdictions purchase its technology. We are told these cameras are necessary to protect the public from crime. Yet the company collecting information on the movements of millions of Americans is now financially supporting politicians connected to its government customers. At what point do we begin questioning why a surveillance contractor needs political influence in the first place?

We have lost our humanity...

Editor's note: ...as the Pentagon and Israel's IDF are one and the same. Tonight in Gaza, flooding rain is pouring through tents in Gaza. Families who have already lost their homes, their loved ones, and often their next meal are now losing the thin canvas that stood between them and the storm (see also Winter weather floods Gaza in "man-made" catastrophe). There are Palestinian mothers who are holding their babies out of the water through the night while flooding water flows through their tents; because there is no dry place left to lay them down. None of what is needed is out of reach: shelter that holds, dry ground, blankets, and aid that enters without obstruction. What is missing is the will to send it. No child should sleep and wake up in floodwater, so open the way and send the shelter now. Ditch these damn Abrahamic religions because children have not yet been destroyed by religion and should not be held accountable for their parents ignorance.

Heavy rains leave tens of thousands without shelter in Gaza [Video]

November 9, 2026 | By Africa News

Heavy rain on Saturday flooded tens of thousands of displaced people's tents in war-devastated Gaza, Palestinian authorities said, leaving them without shelter.

In a statement, the Hamas-run government media office said that about "70,000 tents sheltering tens of thousands of displaced people were flooded on the first day" of rains.

Are we about to see election integrity enforced?

Editor's note: A "severe blow?" It's a "historic blue tsunami" is the most recent outburst. No it's not, so "don't panic." This always happens. It happened when Clinton was in office and it happened when Obama was in office. The House and Senate were both taken over by Republicans. Supposition: What if Trump just took over the Democratic Party? Florida's DeSantis said the "GOP midterms wipeout as close to an extinction-level event for Republicans." No it wasn't. It was an extinction level event for Republicans backed by the AIPAC mafia. The fundamental structure between the US and Israel is going to change from this point forward. As if Trump & crew didn't know that there would be massive election fraud theft across the nation especially in California and Texas. Guess who has all the data related to voting? If you fraudulently voted your name is now on the list (data aggregation and flagging tool). If you depend on the media for your news you are being led off a cliff.

'A severe blow': Israeli media outlets sound alarm over Democratic sweep

Netanyahu-aligned Channel 14 calls the vote a 'major blow to Trump and Israel' as critics of military aid to Tel Aviv head to Washington in growing numbers

News Desk | November 4, 2026

Israel's leading outlets reacted with alarm on 4 November after the Democratic Party captured both the US House of Representatives and the Senate in the midterm elections, warning that lawmakers opposed to US military aid to Israel are heading to Congress in growing numbers.

Scrolling social media now feels like...

Editor's most: ...that Monty Python The Witch sketch: no matter what you order, it comes with AI slop. Ask people honestly and most will admit they're sick of it. It's not surprising, because so many people picked up AI with one goal, getting rich, and when that's the whole point, nobody stops to check the output. Even the tools admit this weakness. In one conversation circulating online, an AI invented the details of a medical study and only got it right after being pressed for sources. Fluent and confident doesn't mean true, and a flood of unchecked content posted for a quick profit is what you would expect. Think of AI as the witch in Monty Python's skit The Witch. Most people's understanding of AI is a lot like the villagers in Monty Python's witch trial. They've been handed a woman with a fake nose and a pointy hat and told she's magic. Some want to worship her, some want to burn her, and nearly all of them back their verdict with logic that wouldn't survive a weigh-in against a duck. Almost nobody stops to ask what she actually is, or what she can really do. They just want to know how to cash in on her, which is why the social media feeds are filling with AI slop. But it's not surprising, because so many people picked up AI with one goal in mind: getting rich. When that's the whole point, you end up with whatever is cheapest to make and easiest to cash in on. 

"NOT tied to big tech, Israel, or their money"

Editor's note: Here's a twist to the story on the Learjet 60 that crashed in Florida:

Absolutely INSANE. Adam Robinson just died in the public jet crash after founding an incredibly powerful digital espionage tool as a private entrepreneur NOT tied to big tech, israel, or “their money” When it was suggested by @theronshah that he should work with Tel Aviv, he told them to f@ck off Want to guess who will inherit his tech?

Kiev's little house of horrors

Editor's note: According to Bloomberg, the US is preparing to urge NATO allies to boost funding for the PURL program that buys and delivers weapons to Ukraine, indicating continued American military support (see US politicians favor Ukraine over America) despite tensions between Trump and Zelensky. When you read news like this understand the Pentagon and the CIA are not America. Protests erupted near Kyiv after an alleged Azov-run secret detention house was found holding around 40 Ukrainians (including deserters and a 14-year-old boy) who were reportedly tortured, raped, and mutilated for ransoms, with officials acknowledging similar sites exist. This has been described as "torture in the dungeons of a secret prison." Stephen Kinzer's new book "Boiling Point: How America Brought War to Ukraine" traces America's role in igniting one of the deadliest and most consequential conflicts of the 21st century and it is only going to escalate. Smoothiex12 accurately reports that we shouldn't be worrying, "the Democrats will blow whatever is remaining of the US resources on Ukraine. Russia welcomes it."

"They held and tortured draft dodgers": A secret Azov prison was discovered near Kyiv.

November 3, 2026 | By Top War

A secret prison belonging to the Azov* terrorist battalion, banned in Russia, was discovered in Petropavlivska Borshahivka near Kyiv. According to Ukrainian media, approximately 40 people, including a 14-year-old boy, were rescued from there.

As Israel's big construction project continues

Editor's note: ...in Gaza, the West Bank, Syria, Lebanon and who knows where else, here is something else to think about: Israel ranks among the world's leading AI nations, typically placing 7th overall in major indices such as the Tortoise/Observer Global AI Index. For a country of its size, its per-capita performance is considered exceptional, often ranking in the top 1–3 when adjusted for population. Strengths are especially pronounced in commercial applications, military applications, private-sector innovation, and talent density. And then we come to this guy: Yuval Noah Harari. Harari's public role with the World Economic Forum (WEF) is behind developing ideas in his book Homo Deus, a project using AI, a critical industry as the "biggest bet in history", and biotechnology as tools to "engineer new life forms and transcend natural limits." Harari overstates human capabilities, since biological systems remain far too complex for meaningful redesign, and the more likely outcome is further harm rather than any stated advancement. We probably agree, "we wouldn't knowingly get within a hundred yards of Harari without a silver crucifix or a clove of garlic." Harari is described as the "walking defintion of hubris." So apparently, "we are going to split in two." Right, split in two because the AI industry is using construction workers to build data centers and not homes and apartments that Americans need.

The Unelected: "NGO-Administrative Complex" with access to roughly $270 billion a year

Editor's note: The Unelected is a large 400 page book outlining how the U.S. government and a large network of NGOs have become a channel for moving middle-class American taxpayer money abroad, through spending like Ukraine aid, USAID and refugee resettlement, while working Americans struggle with housing, wages and family costs. It says the root cause is philosophical, an old ideology it calls supranationalism, and it traces a timeline from the 17th-century Treaty of Westphalia through George Soros, George W. Bush and Donald Trump. The book describes an "NGO-Administrative Complex" of federal departments, nonprofits and foundations that turns tax dollars into welfare for the rest of the world. The authors, Jennica Pounds (known as @DataRepublican on X) and Joshua Lisec, map the money, name the people involved and show how the system can be dismantled. The following investigative report is an addition to their work and how to dismantle these NGO networks.

A critical essay on a century of NGO power

Nobody voted for the Tides Foundation. Nobody cast a ballot for Arabella Advisors, the Open Society Foundations or the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) either. Yet these organizations, and hundreds like them, help shape legislation, court fights, foreign governments and the flow of public money, and almost none of their leaders answer to voters. The arrangement did not appear overnight. It was built over a century, one foundation and one grant at a time, and the people inside it tend to know each other.

If you decide to walk into California because...

Editor's note: ... you can't drive your car anymore arm yoursleves. Welcome to Governor White Teeth's California as Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass signed an ordinance enacting a complete ban on new oil and gas drilling while establishing a twenty year timeline to phase out all existing extraction operations within city limits. While framed by city officials as "a victory for environmental justice and public health" (it's really about the red-green alliance and deindustrialization), critics view the timing as a politically motivated maneuver designed to shore up progressive support amid a competitive local political climate just before the mid-terms. The accelerating elimination of local energy production in California will only increase reliance on foreign imports, exacerbate already high regional fuel costs, and burden California consumers under the guise of progressive virtue signaling.

Inspirational man walks 2,500 miles in five months across the country from his New York home to San Francisco... before immediately being robbed in California

By Adriana Tardugno | October 31, 2026

An inspirational New York man walked up to 2,500 miles across the country to San Francisco in five months, only to be robbed immediately upon arriving in California.

Chantz Rivera, a Bronx resident, left his home on May 31 and headed West across the country on foot for up to 149 days before he arrived at the San Francisco Golden Gate bridge in California on October 27.

Considering political events in the US days...

Editor's note: ...before the mid-term elections they are escalating to the point of anger spilling out into the streets with Americans being disgusted. They have had enough from both political parties (blinded by the duality). This essay should be an insightful read. Politicians are like scraps of meat and bones tossed to a pack of ravenous dogs, not enough meat on the bones to satisfy them but just enough to appease them. It may be an inappropriate comparison but the voting public like the ravenous dogs are experiencing hyperphagia, an extreme insatiable hunger that does not go away after eating (voting). The comparison is scary: Hyperphagia is not a standalone disease, but a medical symptom indicating an underlying physical, hormonal, or psychological condition.

News This Week

by Miles Mathis

October 30, 2026

In confirmation of everything I have been telling you back to 2011 and before about AI, data centers, and the tech billionaires being mist, we are now seeing it all start to hit the fan. After a year of huge losses across the board, the crash entered a phase of exponential acceleration this week, including:

Intel crashes 29% overnight. https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/intel-crashes-25-surprisinglysevere-pc-correction-shocks-wall-street. They are trying to explain it away as a soft market for PCs, but that doesn't begin to explain it. Nor does investment in AI. It's always some lame excuse with these people, promising profit in some distant future that never arrives, but private investors are done, which is why all this schist is being moved under the defense umbrella, so that they can take it from you in taxes instead. That won't work either, since we are already tapped out, but that is their great plan.

People really do need to get their...

Editor's note: ...shit together when interpreting, reporting on, posting about and commenting on these news stories concerning what they think politicians said or didn't say. David Eby, the Canadian lawyer and politician serving as Premier of British Columbia, Canada never uttered the statement that "everything the Canadian worker makes belongs to the state." This narrative is a complete online misrepresentation that distorts left of center economic policy into an exaggerated fabrication. The claim originated not from official government policy or public statements, but from hyper partisan rhetoric and social media commentary designed to satirize and exaggerate social democratic taxation. Critics frequently frame progressive tax regimes, high income brackets, and wealth redistribution programs as "state overreach" (and they are not entirely wrong either), and online commentary gradually reshaped these abstract ideological arguments into a fake, direct quote attributed directly to Eby. In truth, Premier Eby has consistently championed policies aimed at middle class tax relief, inflation indexed minimum wage increases, and targeted public investments in housing and healthcare rather than any system of total state ownership over private labor.

With the 2026 midterms just two days away...

Editor's note: ...on November 3, prediction markets on Polymarket and Kalshi have locked in a lopsided verdict (worth around $2 billion by election day) that treats Democratic control of the House as a near certainty at 93 to 94 percent while pricing Democratic Senate control at roughly 70 to 72 percent. A full Democratic sweep of both chambers trades near 70 percent, a split outcome with Democrats holding the House and Republicans the Senate sits in the mid 20s, and any Republican sweep has been reduced to low single digits. Tens of millions of dollars have flooded these specific contracts in the closing weeks, with individual House and Senate control markets and key swing state races each attracting millions in volume as election day approaches. The platforms market these prices as a pure, crowd sourced reading of political reality. In practice the structure remains extractive. Only a small percentage of traders capture the overwhelming majority of the profits, systematically transferring money from the much larger pool of retail participants who treat the contracts as speculative entertainment rather than disciplined forecasting. The result is a marketplace that claims to illuminate an imminent national election while quietly concentrating gains in the hands of a narrow professional class. One of the most prevalent driving forces of most of humanity is constantly trying to better his odds at getting something for nothing. And now they have access to AI...

The Secret History of Polymarket – Part 1

By Whitney Webb & Mark Goodwin | June 30, 2026

Shayne Coplan, now the world's youngest "self-made" billionaire, is the public face of what purports to be the world's largest crypto-powered prediction market – Polymarket. Coplan and his alleged arch-rival, Tarek Mansour of the competing prediction market platform Kalshi, recently buried the hatchet to create a new venture capital firm called 5c(c) Capital, a reference to the section of the Commodity Exchange Act which is currently used to regulate prediction markets. The fund is aimed at bulking up the infrastructure for what has rapidly become an insurgent digital industry.

In this predator and prey ecosphere the only option is war and more killing ("everybody knows")

Editor's note: This goes back to a "conspiracy" to remove General H.R. McMaster and replace him with Neocon John Bolton. This network was compiled as a perfect example of how it operates to achieve their goals through its "wide spectrum of influence." Regardless of your thoughts on General H. R. McMaster, whether he is incompetent or not from a Russian perspective when it comes to war, there was a targeted conspiracy against him when he was the National Security Adviser and this network's goal was to have him replaced by John Bolton. One faction in this "wide spectrum of influence" attempted taking John Bolton down. This network remains in place and what we can observe is that there are Jewish Neocons running this network and they are deep inside the Trump administration including inside the Pentagon. What this network is structured to do is protect Israel. Anyone who opposes this cooperation between America and Israel will be crushed. That is its primary mission with the proxy war against Russia using Ukraine being subordinated to Israel. This "spectrum of influence" has one driving force: war. The entire world is being turned into Gaza over Israel.

It would be difficult to determine how many 2, 3 and 4 star generals there are packed into the Pentagon who are Jewish today, but in a 2008 survey despite being just 4,515 of the 1,359,948 active duty members of the military, Jews were about 50 percent of the politically selected 2, 3 and 4 star generals in the US military. Then we come to Pete Hegseth and no matter what anyone thinks about him he is up against the woke culture in the US military that has practically destroyed it. Consider this seriously: The Israel IDF is not compromised by the same "woke" institutional patterns widely criticized in the U.S. military compromising its combat capabilities. Israel's security reality imposes a hard constraint that prioritizes combat effectiveness and manpower over these destructive progressive ideologies. And Russia's military? Europe just might find out - again.

Robert Kennedy Jr is absolutely correct...

Editor's note: ...in his assessment of Islam. There can be no refuting this and if he is, he is being refuted by idiots, or those with an obvious ulterior motive. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. delivered sweeping remarks about Arabs and Muslims while appearing at a Republican campaign rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on Monday, saying that "500 million Arabs do not produce science." Kennedy was in Michigan to offset the Muslim Brotherhood-backed Islamic Abdul El-Sayed who is behind the "red-green alliance" of establishment Democrats who are determined to deindustrialize and "lead America into the stone age." Abdul El-Sayed has been placed and vetted where he is and evidence is appearing constantly reflecting his fraudulent past. The people in Michigan ignorantly backing Abdul El-Sayed are obviously not a very sophisticated voting public. If anyone needs proof Robert Kennedy's statements about Islam are correct, consider that most of the majority of advanced Iranian military and dual-use technology (missiles, drones, nuclear-related systems, etc.) are not originally designed or developed indigenously in Iran.

In commercial economic warfare there is always money for continued war

Editor's note: Burnham says he wants the UK back in the EU eventually because "Brexit left the country with a harder deal than voters were promised, weaker growth and poorer immigration control", while separately claiming "Russia interfered in the 2016 referendum" (the UK's version of Russiagate); the two points have appeared in the same news cycle but the rejoining the EU comments themselves deceptively focus on the domestic economic and border results rather than the Ukraine war. If anyone believes that summary from mainstream news sources you are being deluded, especially by UK media sources. The underlying reason why this discussion is taking place now concerning the UK's PM Burnham (frontman) on Britain rejoining the EU is because the powerful aristocracy running the financial mechanisms related to central banks ultimately are coveting Russian resources. When that is placed in context the following news article will make sense. As this destruction of Ukraine continues Russia isn't going to stop until Ukraine is completely destroyed despite any alleged ongoing negotiations.

Britain Has Committed £35 Billion to Ukraine While Its Own Economy Deteriorates

October 30, 2026 | By Martin Armstrong

Britain has now committed £35 billion, approximately $47 billion, in military, economic, and financial support for Ukraine since Russia's invasion in February 2022. Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced another £10 billion package on October 28, the largest single financial support package Britain has pledged to Kyiv. The British government continues promising to support Ukraine for as long as necessary, but nobody seems particularly concerned about how long British taxpayers can afford to finance these commitments. Britain is struggling with enormous sovereign debt, stagnant economic growth, deteriorating public services, and a population that has already endured years of inflation. Yet Westminster continues making financial promises to another government without establishing any clear limit on the total obligation.
