A deeper and far more European crisis...

Editor's note: ...is marked by continued social fragmentation, political paralysis, and the erosion of traditional Western institutions in Spain. Spain will likely be the first European country to fall with Spain, like much of Europe, facing a civilizational decline driven by uncontrolled social pressures, weakened incompetent leadership, and the inability of governments to confront growing instability. Spain is now a symbol of a broader Western crisis in which national identity, security, and political authority are increasingly under strain and are being emasculated. At the NATO summit in Ankara, President Trump instructed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to cut off trade with Spain over defense spending, calling Madrid a "wasted cause" over its NATO contributions. It's not about "defense spending." It's political related to Israel. The Spaniards who know that their country is overwhelmed with Muslim migrants, advocated for the destruction of Israel and now Spain is going to pay.

Editor's note: ...Karl Marx's political playbook while calling it technological progress? It appears powerful tech billionaires are concentrating wealth, data, and political influence in ways that resemble Marxist collectivism, even as they talk out of the sides of their mouths about "innovation and free enterprise." It also likens these technology oligarchs to pirates who seize digital territory and private assets, raising concerns about the future of individual liberty, private property, and economic freedom in the age of AI. Call them what they are: hyperscaler pirates. If you think about it, these digital Bolsheviks are nothing more than petty thieves. AI is a powerful technology alright, but much of the current AI revolution is driven by marketing bullshit, unapologetic hype and inflated promises, with some tech companies acting less like visionary innovators and more like petty thieves stealing wealth, data, art, music and control while selling a future that will never match their exaggerated claims. And the dark irony is that these digital Bolsheviks are bitching and moaning that China is "stealing LLMs from US frontier AI models" through a process known as distillation, which involves leveraging existing US AI models to develop competing systems.

Tech Bros Run the Marxist Playbook

By James Rickards | July 29, 2026

Can Marxism offer a framework for understanding artificial intelligence (AI) and the tech bros behind it?

This is not to suggest that Marxism is a viable economic system or a practical alternative to capitalism. It’s not. But Karl Marx was a heterodox economist before he became an ideologue, and some of his ideas are powerful tools for understanding economics, even if his overall program was a failure.

If you were pulled over for some traffic infraction in the US and pleaded the 4th Amendment, law enforcement would smash through your car window, likely taser you and drag you out of your vehicle. If anyone else "pleaded the 5th" in any hearing or court you would be thrown in jail for contempt. Welcome to the "Fauci Show." If "the virus wasn't found in nature" neither was Fauci.

Biden's last-day "pardon" is legally void because no one can be pardoned before conviction, and it was signed by autopen with a forged signature that Trump himself has acknowledged. Trump's promise to honor it only proves the vaudeville with this ridiculous hearing with Fauci continues. Real accountability would mean DOJ indictment for mass murder and crimes against humanity or an international tribunal, not another staged hearing in a senate and congress that serve as fronts for the DoD and CIA and Federal Reserve and Goldman Sachs. Fauci is the perfect elderly scapegoat, paid to absorb the public's two-minute hate while presidents, governors, Congress, the CDC, FDA, NIH, WHO, mayors, and Big Pharma executives skate free.

As the American novelist Ishmael Reed wrote in his 1972 satirical novel Mumbo Jumbo, "history is the story of warfare between secret societies." Peter Andreas Thiel himself, was born in what some consider the most occulted city in the world: Frankfurt, Germany. Frankfurt is Germany's financial capital and home to both the European Central Bank and the Deutsche Bundesbank, making it a genuine center of concentrated monetary power in Europe. According to an opinion newsletter (not an investigative report), Deutsche Bank's CEO attended a recent Bilderberg conference that Peter Thiel has reportedly funded and helped steer since around 2008. The Deutsche Bundesbank and European Central Bank, both based in Frankfurt, are closely linked to the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in Basel through standard central bank coordination, while Deutsche Bank, a private commercial bank, has no ownership or governance role in the BIS at all. According to Wired, the exposed registry for its upcoming August 2026 retreat lists 222 individuals. The "leaked" materials detail an unorthodox agenda for the upcoming retreat near Dublin, Ireland (possibly being held at the elite K Club resort in County Kildare, the adjacent golf-course hosted the 2006 Ryder Cup).

Good morning, fellow taxpayers: This is a public service report for...

Editor's note: ...every American taxpayer who has ever wondered where their money (it's actually not your money) actually goes. Lockheed Martin (the epitome of the deep state), the largest defense contractor in the US, which is not America, received billions of dollars in new federal contracts in July 2026 alone, part of a defense budget that crossed $1 trillion dollars (if you stacked $1 trillion in $100 bills into a cube, it would only be about the size of a seven-story building, practically pocket change) for the first time even as the Pentagon failed its financial audit for an eighth consecutive year. Few of the American people funding this system, through payroll taxes withheld from every paycheck, ever see how the money moves: which offices approve it, why the contracts keep growing even when programs run late and over budget, and why the benefits rarely reach anyone outside the company's shareholders, executives, and workforce. This report lays out that process in plain terms, using the government's own contract announcements, its own watchdog's findings, and its own disclosure records, so taxpayers can judge for themselves whether "the system serves the public that pays for it." Don't expect any US senate or congressional member to seriously reflect on this public service report.

The Money Machine: How Lockheed Martin Draws Billions From the Federal Treasury, and Why Ordinary Taxpayers Rarely See It

July 30, 2026 | AD News Network 

A System Built on Public Money, Not Private Capital

Every dollar Lockheed Martin receives through a Department of War contract begins as money appropriated by Congress and drawn from the U.S. Treasury. The company does not access a line of credit or borrow against future earnings to build F-35 fighters or THAAD interceptors. It receives obligated federal funds, authorized first through the National Defense Authorization Act and then through annual appropriations bills, and disbursed contract by contract as work is performed.

Social media influencers often come across...

Editor's note: ...as obnoxious because their content often prioritizes self-promotion and performative lifestyles over genuine meaningful substance, which breeds several specific irritations: constant humble-bragging and manufactured "relatability," aggressive product plugs disguised as personal recommendations, engagement-bait tactics (clickbait titles, manufactured drama, or fake controversies), a tendency to speak with unearned authority on topics outside their expertise, and an overall sense that every moment of their life has been staged for an audience rather than lived authentically. In Japan, a foreign influencer traveling in Japan wearing a large hat and colorful clothing was filming himself on a train when an elderly Japanese man asked him to stop recording. The influencer responded rudely, telling the man to get away from him. He then stood up from his seat and shoved the elderly man from behind. Although Japan has no specific criminal law banning filming strangers in public, its well-established legal concept of "portrait rights" (along with strong cultural norms around personal privacy) meant the influencer's disregard for the elderly Japanese man's request reflected a clear ignorance of, and disrespect for, the customs and legal sensitivities of Japan where he was visiting.

The U.S. Department of Defense is the largest institutional...

Editor's note: ...consumer of petroleum on Earth, and the numbers back that up in almost any direction you look. Estimates place annual military fuel consumption somewhere between 80 and 100 million barrels a year, translating to roughly 4.6 billion gallons and over $20 billion in annual fuel spending, according to Air and Space Forces Magazine. Since 2021, the Pentagon has burned through about 227 million gallons of diesel and 2.2 billion gallons of jet fuel annually. The Air Force alone accounts for roughly half of that total, largely due to fighter jets, bombers, and transport aircraft. Individual assets illustrate the scale involved: an aircraft carrier can burn about 100,000 gallons of fuel a day at full speed, and an armored division on the move can consume 600,000 gallons in a single day. Beyond fuel, the military's electricity footprint is just as significant. The DoD uses more than 30 terawatt hours of electricity annually to power over 500 installations worldwide, from forward operating bases to domestic facilities. Costs have also been climbing sharply. The average price the Pentagon paid per barrel of fuel rose from about $154 in October to nearly $196 in April, a jump of almost 27 percent in six months, driven largely by fuel market volatility tied to the conflict with Iran. That price surge alone could add more than a billion dollars in unplanned costs this year. Taken together, these figures underscore why the DoD is often described as consuming more energy than most individual countries, even before accounting for the broader logistics network that supports its global operations.

America's Strategic Petroleum Reserve – More Fragile Than Headlines Suggest!

By Henry Kamens | July 25, 2026

America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) is more fragile than headlines suggest: aging salt-cavern infrastructure, questionable actual deliverability versus reported inventories, and a growing gap between official figures and physical reality.

Technology has gone too far when companies...

Editor's note: ...like Flock Safety, Axon, and Cognyte supply local police with automated license plate networks, streetlight-mounted cameras, and mobile cell-tower simulators that record the movements and device data of ordinary people under the permanent pretext of "public safety." Let's get real: the pretext of "public safety" is bullshit. Somebody is putting the contracts together and somebody is profitting at our expense. The companies selling the sensors are the same ones writing the reports that prove the sensors are working, so the technology's failures become invisible by design. These systems are sold as "solutions to crime", yet they expand in lockstep with government bureaucracies (Franz Kafka's nightmare) that manufacture ever more justifications for spending more money (bonds) and for collecting data on citizens who have committed no offense. A free people cannot accept continuous, warrantless monitoring of streets and vehicles as the price of order, and history shows that surveillance infrastructures built on such premises eventually collapse under their own weight of distrust and resistance. Governments chase surveillance technology as a substitute for the harder, slower work of building trust and addressing root causes, mistaking the illusion of control, more cameras, more microphones, more data, for the substance of safety, while quietly normalizing a level of scrutiny that no elected body ever explicitly approved.

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and [nanny-state techno-twinks]." - Thomas Jefferson

The Surveillance Grid: How Flock, Axon, and Cognyte Are Turning American Streets Into a Permanent Watchlist

July 28, 2026 | By AD News Network

The expanding network of automated surveillance systems sold by companies such as Flock Safety, Axon, and Cognyte represents a fundamental shift in American policing. These firms market their products as tools for public safety. In practice they are creating persistent, warrantless records of ordinary movement and communication. Americans have begun to reject them, and history suggests that any society built on continuous monitoring of its own citizens eventually undermines the legitimacy it claims to protect. Flock Safety has blanketed thousands of communities with automatic license plate readers. These cameras capture every vehicle that passes, store the data in searchable databases, and share it across agencies.

Local police have no business buying...

Editor's note: ...intelligence-grade spy vans. Texas just spent $4.5 million on four Chevy Tahoes loaded with Israeli Cognyte FalcoNet technology that impersonates cell towers, forces nearby phones to connect, and harvests location and device data from anyone in range, including people never accused of a crime. This is not crime-fighting equipment; it is the quiet conversion of neighborhood policing into a mobile surveillance apparatus. Once departments sink millions into these systems, the pressure to use them constantly is inevitable. The line between intelligence agencies and local cops is collapsing one contract at a time, and it must be stopped. A free society does not normalize the idea that local police can deploy foreign-developed intelligence platforms to monitor the communications infrastructure of ordinary people. This is not progress. It is the steady dismantling of the line that once protected ordinary Americans from being treated as permanent subjects of intelligence collection. It is wrong, and it must not stand.

This dual strategy of hyper-scale capacity and software intelligence has transformed Oracle from a traditional database giant into a critical enabler of the current AI boom, even as the scale of its capital spending tests investor confidence in the race to meet insatiable demand for training and inference power.

The Rise of the Ellison Empire

July 24, 2026 | By Martin Armstrong

There was a time when America's industrial titans built railroads, steel mills, and oil companies. Today, influence is measured in data, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, media, and information. Few families illustrate that transformation better than the Ellisons.

Larry Ellison built Oracle from a small software company into one of the world’s largest technology firms. His background and rags-to-riches story are quite interesting. Today Oracle is one of the dominant providers of enterprise databases and cloud infrastructure, serving governments, financial institutions, healthcare providers, defense contractors, and many of the world’s largest corporations. Oracle’s software touches enormous portions of the global economy. When governments collect taxes, hospitals manage patient records, banks process transactions, or corporations analyze data, Oracle systems are often operating behind the scenes. [Editor's note: Oracle's first contract was with the CIA for $50,000.]

As has been correctly stated elsewhere, when Americans go through this expected economic and financial collapse that is being anticipated related to energy and the Straight of Hormuz, are they really going to give a damn about Hollywood movies and woke culture? Another interpretation of this movie Odyssey can be looked at as a "defining cultural moment", where future observers will divide history into the periods before and after its release. The ensuing intense debates surrounding this movie, including questions of casting, fidelity to Homer, and artistic interpretation, are going to become a rallying point that will force Americans to clarify their positions and prepare for subsequent cultural conflicts. The US Army motto "This we'll defend," frames the film and the broader defense of classical Western stories as something worth protecting in an ongoing culture war.

Not that I think it matters much, but I remind you going in I know quite a bit about this subject. I was the best student in the nation for two years in highschool in classics, having the high score on the Nation Junior Classical League pentathlon test, which includes questions of both Latin and Greek history and literature. I first read the Iliad and Odyssey at age 16, along with the Theogony, Aeneid, and the major Greek plays. I scored fifth in the nation in classic literature. I then double majored in Philosophy and Classics (mostly Latin) at the University of Texas, graduating in 1984 at the age of 20 Phi Beta Kappa and Summa cum Laude. I have kept up my studies since then and still read my Horace. So for those already saying "what the eff do I know about it?" that's what.

And if you disagree? Israel has a sophisticated war going against resistance. Critics, including some lawmakers and human rights groups (there are no "human rights", there are only individual rights but then you need to be prepared to fight for them), argue this effectively integrates the two countries' militaries and could give Israel greater influence over US policy (Israel already controls US foreign policy towards Israel) and supply chains. An amendment to remove the provision was blocked from debate. The bill now moves to the Senate, where opponents are seeking to strip out the section which they are unlikely to do; because the Middle East is going to erupt into a larger war.

Far from protecting American interests, this Israeli-style Pentagon apparatus has devolved into a spiteful machine that targets innocents when confronted with its own mediocrity, confirming its role as the weak's weapon of choice in a decomposing imperial project. This makes a lot of observers starting to question who is actually running Russia after a Russian soldier was asked, "Why do Ukrainian soldiers fight so hard?"

Editor's note: New York is losing billions in tax revenue as its share of U.S. millionaires dropped sharply from 12.7 percent in 2010 to 8.7 percent in 2022, the largest decline of any state. According to a Citizens Budget Commission report cited in Jonathan Turley's New York Post column, the exodus of wealthy residents has cost the state about $10.7 billion. High taxes, aggressive policies targeting the rich, and promises of expansive social programs are driving many to relocate to lower-tax states like Florida and Texas, where remote work reduces the need to stay in the high-cost Big Apple. Turley warns that rather than reforming to retain residents, some Democrats are pushing national wealth taxes to limit such mobility.

Bitcoin as the Open-System Antidote to Debt Slavery

Editor's note: In Joseph P. Farrell's Financial Vipers of Venice, the Venetian oligarchs perfected a closed financial system of scarcity, debt, manipulation, and elite control that evolved into today's central banking, fiat money, and perpetual debt bondage, suppressing open visions of abundance like Giordano Bruno's Hermetic cosmology. Jeff Booth offers a compelling escape in The Price of Tomorrow: exponential technology drives natural deflation and prosperity, but the debt-based fiat system fights it through endless money printing and credit expansion, trapping humanity in scarcity and instability. Bitcoin breaks this cycle as the first true decentralized, fixed-supply (21 million cap) global money, permissionless, energy-secured, and immune to manipulation. It aligns incentives with abundance, reprices the world on real productivity, and provides a transition to sound money, individual sovereignty, and creative flourishing, offering a practical, opt-in revolution against the centuries-old viper's ledger of financial tyranny.

Dangerous Intellectuals: The Book Review--"Financial Vipers of Venice" Joseph P Farrell

By Brigadier General (ret) Blaine D. Holt | July 22, 2026

"And I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale." — Thomas Jefferson, Letter to John Taylor, 1816

What is it about the ledger? Is there a viper's nest effect that results when ambitious merchants, secretcouncils, bullion brokers, and the alchemy of debt come together? The Venetian oligarchs launched a financial empire from the lagoons that would light a fuse leading to modern central banking, national debts, fiat money, and the soft financial despotism we endure today. One such establishment in the fuse was the Rialto, where the methods of control were perfected.

The song "A Spoonful of Sugar" from the 1964 Disney...

Editor's note: ...film Mary Poppins has a documented creative connection to the oral polio vaccine. Songwriter Robert Sherman drew inspiration from his young son's experience receiving the Sabin polio vaccine, which was commonly administered on a sugar cube in the early 1960s to make it more palatable for children and encourage uptake during widespread vaccination campaigns. This real-world anecdote informed the song's central metaphor: that a bit of sweetness can help make necessary but potentially unpleasant tasks (or medicine) more acceptable. While the connection reflects the general optimism of the post-polio era, when vaccines were credited with dramatically reducing a feared childhood disease, it has been viewed more critically in recent decades amid growing vaccine skepticism (today it is the pharmaceutical Apollo cult that worships the gods of sickness) among many Americans. Some now see the song's messaging as emblematic of earlier public health narratives that emphasized compliance and minimized concerns about medical interventions (Covid injections were a medical procedure), contributing to today's polarized debates over vaccine safety, mandates, and informed consent.

She contended that decades of psychological conditioning, cultural shifts, and biological interventions (the pharmaceutical cartels are the "servants of Apollo") have prepared society to accept this future, including the destabilization of families, disconnection from nature, and the promotion of gender ideology as a means to erode fundamental human identity and ease acceptance of human-machine hybrids. Aboli rejected the materialist view underlying transhumanism, which denies the soul and consciousness, and warned against merging with artificial intelligence under the influence of figures like Ray Kurzweil and Yuval Noah Harari. Instead, she urges humanity to reject technological replacement, value uniquely human qualities such as empathy and creativity, and use technology only to enhance natural human life while rediscovering purpose and spiritual connection:

The Two Systems: China's Adaptive Authoritarianism Versus America's Captured Republic

July 20, 2026 | AD News Network

Investigative reporting demands scrutiny of power structures, hierarchies, incentives, and results rather than slogans and crude ideologies. Eric X. Li, a Shanghai-based venture capitalist and political scientist who founded Chengwei Capital, has articulated a provocative contrast between the US and China. "In America, you can change the party but you can't change the policies," Li observes. "In China, you cannot change the party, but you can change the policies." China operates a vibrant market economy without allowing capital to dominate the state. In the US, concentrated financial and technological interests increasingly shape outcomes. These observations merit examination through outcomes, data, and structural realities. We should start by first looking at the mechanics of government.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant recently stated that a...

Editor's note: ..."strong US dollar is completely intact with President Trump." U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is reinforcing the dollar's global dominance through a strong dollar policy, stablecoin support, and symbolic moves like Trump-signed currency for America's 250th anniversary. What is Bessant not saying though? He is not saying that later this year the "US petro dollar will be replaced with the US silicon dollar." We are being told data centers are powering a new American industrial revolution as vital infrastructure for AI and economic competitiveness against China. Data centers underpin daily digital functions but face opposition over resource use, which companies are addressing through innovations like major water reductions and self-generated power. Data centers bring substantial tax revenue and jobs to communities, though some activism may stem from foreign-linked influence campaigns. With China's advanced Kimi K3 model highlighting the race, Americans should be alert against bans that could cede AI leadership and are urged to consider balanced support for buildout.

It took about an hour. The area was subjected to a barrage of short-range Iranian ballistic missiles." Smartphones constantly share location with apps (fitness, ads, etc.), which data brokers sell. Iran reportedly bought or accessed this data, combined with mobile network pings and OSINT (open source intelligence) from videos/posts (metadata + visuals). This revealed troop/base positions for targeting with BDS-guided missiles. Were the two US soldiers killed in Jordan after their location was identified off their smart phone? Technology is a two-edged sword.

West Hollywood water main break floods homes, cars, opens sinkhole

By Kevin Dolak | July 17, 2026

Multiple major roadways in West Hollywood have been closed after a water main break at the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Holloway Drive caused major flooding, damaging parked vehicles and rushing into apartments and homes in the trendy city.

The leak stems from a rupture in a 36-inch steel pipe that occurred around 2:30 a.m. Thursday, according to Anselmo Collins, chief operating officer at the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. Water was shut off in the area by around 7:30 a.m. local time after the water main break was first reported, according to the city of West Hollywood; the city's Department of Public Works quickly deployed personnel to the scene. The city said it is now working with the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and the Metropolitan Water District to determine next steps.

We have reached a critical mass of discontent on Israel

Editor's note: In a July 7, 2026, essay on The Unz Review, author Richard Solomon explores the biblical phrase "Synagogue of Satan" from the Book of Revelation, framing it as a metaphor for a modern global cabal of Jewish bankers, oligarchs, and allied elites who allegedly control international finance, technology, media, and Western governments in an anti-human, destructive system. The essay traces its supposed historical roots from ancient Babylon through Talmudic Judaism, Zionism, and today's "Anglo-Zionist Empire," the author's self-described Jewish Hebrew Israelite perspective distinguishes "groovy Jews" from the "satanic" ("satanic" is a grotesquely misunderstand term) power structure.

In a July 15, 2026, article on The Unz Review, author Wyatt Peterson analyzes Rahm Emanuel and Benjamin Netanyahu as opposing "pillars" of Jewish thought, representing mercy (chesed) and severity (gevurah) in a Kabbalistic framework that ultimately serves Jewish supremacy. The article portrays Emanuel's recent Tel Aviv speech, in which he called Israel a "pariah" and proposed U.S. sanctions on settler violence and ending unconditional aid, as a calculated political maneuver to rehabilitate the pro-Israel cause among Democrats amid plummeting support, rather than a sincere shift, given Emanuel's lifelong Zionist credentials, family Irgun ties, and history of strong Israel advocacy.

President Trump announced on...

Editor's note: ...July 15, 2026, at the Pennsylvania Defense & Innovation Summit that U.S. military veterans who drove heavy trucks during service will soon qualify for a Commercial Driver's License (CDL). The policy expands the existing FMCSA Military Skills Test Waiver by removing recency limits, making it easier for experienced veterans to transition into civilian trucking jobs and address driver shortages. A 21-year-old undocumented migrant truck driver caused a deadly multi-vehicle crash on the I-10 in Ontario, California, in October 2025, killing three people after allegedly failing to brake in slowed traffic.This has to end by holding truck training schools and CDL programs accountable for properly vetting, training, and ensuring only qualified drivers, especially those with language barriers or limited experience, receive commercial licenses.

The only way this will be settled is war

Editor's note: In "The Great Energy World War," it appears Western naval dominance is ending as affordable standoff weapons from powers like Iran force the U.S. Navy to retreat from key areas such as the Persian Gulf. The February 2026 U.S.-Iran conflict has accelerated this shift, pushing Russia, China, and Iran closer together and risking global economic collapse, disrupted energy trade, famines, and a new Eurasian-dominated world order. Iran has attacked Kuwait's critical power and water desalination plant, causing significant damage and a fire, according to Kuwaiti authorities. The strike threatens the Gulf nation's water supply, as desalination provides about 90% of its drinking water. Iran described the action as retaliation against U.S. and allied forces in the region, claiming hits on military targets including HIMARS (junk) systems, while broader fighting continues with U.S. airstrikes on Iranian infrastructure and mutual attacks across the Gulf. Reminiscence of the Future suggests the US is no longer "the world's premier military power but an obsolete force reliant on outdated doctrine", as shown by ineffective Jordanian and American air defenses, though Hollywood will no doubt "deliver Top Gun sequels."

In a powerful challenge to one of the foundational pillars...

Editor's note: ...of the modern federal government, new attention is being drawn to groundbreaking research proving that the 16th Amendment was never properly ratified. The decades-long investigation, documented in The Law That Never Was, reveals critical procedural failures across the states that call into question the legal authority for the federal income tax. This republished material highlights the ongoing fight and the broader constitutional implications of these findings. At the end of this article, a special section provides essential historical context drawn from partially republished analysis in "How the American Republic Became a Managerial State," detailing how the 16th Amendment fundamentally transformed the federal government's taxing power and enabled the rise of the progressive income tax system. Far more than a mere managerial state, it has evolved into a highly efficient extraction machine in which powerful bureaucracies systematically crush individuals while an increasingly automated legal system enforces compliance with ruthless precision.

How the American Republic became a Managerial State

The United States Constitution was revolutionary. "A republic," Benjamin Franklin is reported to have said, "if you can keep it." They couldn't.

By Bruce Pardy | July 16, 2026

It wasn't supposed to be this way. The United States was the land of the free. Limited government. Checks and balances. Separation of powers. The Bill of Rights. But America has instead become a managed society. Its government dominates the lives of its people. How did it go wrong? Lots of bad steps helped to transform the American republic into a managerial state. Here are eleven of the moments that sent the ship off course.

Just a nice happy healthy family.

Editor's note: Send the ADL and the SPLC to the Israeli Knesset. Seems like they have a problem with hate. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faced loud heckling and repeated chants of "Shame!" from opposition lawmakers in the Knesset on Tuesday as Israel's parliament debated and passed a bill temporarily shielding ultra-Orthodox Haredi Jews who refuse military enlistment from arrest and prosecution:

We have the very real possibility Donald Trump was...

Editor' note: ...mind-controlled from childhood by powerful forces to become the "Hitler of the 21st century" and lead the US as the Fourth Reich. This is one of the reasons Russia set out "de-Nazifying" Ukraine considering Ukraine can be considered the 51st state of the US. We can see the extensive parallels between Trump and Adolf Hitler, including their rises to power, policy impacts, advisors, ancestry, and use of staged events (Butler staged assassination), portraying Trump as a figure installed to polarize the public, reverse certain policies temporarily, and advance a broader New World Order agenda amid warnings of coming false-flag crises to slam these globalist's policies into place. Michael Hudson's theory posits that the US under Trump, facing terminal financialization, debt deflation, and declining hegemony, is pursuing aggressive resource control and tariff warfare, particularly over oil, to maintain dollar dominance, which risks triggering broader military conflicts and a global depression as blowback from overreach mirrors historical imperial collapses. And what's eerily similar to Adolf Hitler meeting with the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, Trump met with the vetted and placed Ahmed al-Sharaa (also known as Abu Mohammad al-Jolani) as the president of Syria. Considering approximately 1,600 German scientists and engineers from the Nazi Wehrmacht were seeded into American institutions after WWII, the "ominous parallels" are legitimately fucking scary. Especially when you consider Americans are a philosophically "dead" population and can be whipped into a frenzy very easily.

The argument presented here is cancer is...

Editor's note: ...largely a modern, induced disease rather than a natural or inevitable one, with rates being extremely low or nearly nonexistent in earlier historical periods according to actuarial data like a 1915 Prudential Life Insurance report. Traditional risk factors such as smoking, genetics, diet, and bad luck are challenged as primary drivers. Interventions associated with modern medicine, particularly vaccines and injections, as frequent contributors may "disrupt the body's electrical systems and cellular energy balance, leading to tumor formation." A collection of research highlights how fear-based narratives (the clip below demonstrates learned behavior even with professionals) and nocebo effects amplify perceptions of cancer risk, while emphasizing that it should not be expected as a normal part of human health. Shifts in society and medical practices are key factors in its rise and exploring alternative perspectives on prevention and true causes beyond mainstream explanations are highly recommended.

Western governments have ignored citizens' repeated demands...

Editor's note: ...to secure borders and halt illegal immigration, leading to profound societal strain across the US, UK, Europe, and beyond. Despite the 1986 US amnesty under Reagan, which promised enforcement in exchange for legalization, "officials" (acting in the official capacity of who exactly?) failed to control inflows, underreported numbers (long claiming around 11 million while estimates suggest over 100 million), and allowed burdens on employment, wages, housing, welfare, schools, and hospitals. This has resulted in increasing crimes and accidents by non-citizens, identity theft, fraudulent voting, and cultural shifts, including growing foreign-born representation in politics and the judiciary. As potential violent backlash grows, with citizens turning to elections and protests, governments respond with censorship and accusations of racism, eroding legitimacy and risking greater conflict. Unchecked open borders threaten the survival of Western nations. During a meeting in Westminster Hall Monday, July 13th, Restore Britain leader Rupert Lowe set out his party's plan to ensure mass deportations from the UK and Europe:

During the 2026 Iran war, Iranian strikes repeatedly...

Editor's note: ...hit US bases and infrastructure across Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and beyond, exposing major vulnerabilities in American and allied missile defenses. The key enabler was Tehran's shift from vulnerable GPS to China's BeiDou navigation system, which provided superior accuracy, jamming resistance, and real-time guidance for missiles and drones. China's BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) currently has about 50 satellites in orbit. This includes the core ~35-satellite global constellation (primarily BDS-3) plus additional older satellites for redundancy and enhanced performance. As MIT Professor Emeritus Ted Postol has long argued, systems like Patriot PAC-3 show near-zero objective success rates against realistic threats, functioning more as costly reassurances and industry profit centers than effective shields. This episode underscores the rapid erosion of US technological edges in electronic warfare and space-based navigation.

China's BeiDou Navigation System and the Collapse of US Missile Defense in the Gulf

July 15, 2026 | AD News Network

In the 2026 Iran war, Iran's precision strikes repeatedly penetrated US and allied missile defenses across Gulf states, hitting air bases, logistics hubs, radars, and fuel depots in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, and beyond. This outcome was no accident of numbers or swarm tactics alone. It resulted from Iran's adoption of China's BeiDou satellite navigation system, which supplanted vulnerable GPS dependence and neutralized much of Western electronic warfare. US military planners, wedded to notions of technological supremacy, failed to anticipate this shift. The result exposed forward bases as liabilities and revealed deep flaws in procurement, threat assessment, and strategic foresight.

There are actually quite a few people who have...

Editor's note: ...no empathy for Lindsey Graham after his death. Graham was in the US congress for three decades. Think about that: a career politician. If he didn't die how many more years would he have served as a career politician? America doesn't need career politicians. They are a detriment to an open and transparent society because they are all compromised from one degree to another. Lindsey Graham received well over $1 million in campaign contributions from defense contractors and affiliated individuals/PACs over his career (with cycle totals often in the $100K–$300K+ range), including notable support from Boeing (~$26K–$30K+), Lockheed Martin, Raytheon (RTX), Northrop Grumman (~$5K–$31K+), General Dynamics (~$35K), and others like Honeywell, AM General (via large super PAC gifts), and Fluor. Career politicians have turned public office into a lifelong entitlement rather than temporary service to the people. Characters like the 87 year old Maxine Waters cling to power for decades building personal machines of influence while ignoring the needs of those they claim to represent. Washington operates as an insulated club where self-preservation trumps (pun intended) national interest leading to endless spending lobbyist driven decisions and detachment from reality. This careerism betrays the American people and mirrors the decline of past republics like Rome where entrenched elites accelerated collapse. Term limits are essential to force accountability and fresh ideas.

Britain is advancing plans that would pressure platforms...

Editor's note: ...such as YouTube and TikTok to adjust their recommendation algorithms, giving preferential treatment to content from state-approved broadcasters including the BBC, ITV, and Channel 4. Officials argue the move is essential to "combat misinformation and safeguard democracy." "Combat misinformation" yes, but as far as "democracy" is concerned they can have it. That dysfunctional ideology doesn't belong in America. Critics contend it represents a significant escalation in government efforts to shape public information consumption. The proposal would shift algorithms away from purely user-driven recommendations toward "politically determined priorities" labeled as promoting "prominence" for trusted sources. This builds on existing measures such as the Online Safety Act and past actions targeting social media speech. YouTube has warned that such intervention undermines audience choice and creator competition. The development highlights broader European trends of increasing oversight on digital platforms whenever official narratives face challenges. The state is fearful of losing the narrative. And when it comes to smart phones there is some good news:

Letter of Grievance: Demand for Immediate Action Against Institutionalized Fraud in Property Taxation and Public Finance

Dear President Donald J. Trump, Director of the FBI Kash Patel, Attorney General Todd Blanche and the United States Department of Justice, and Members of the United States Senate and House of Representatives,

July 14, 2026

We, the undersigned American citizens and property owners, formally petition you for a redress of grievances pursuant to the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. The fraud plaguing our property tax system, school bond financing, and related government institutions has reached a colossal and existential scale that now threatens the very foundations of our Republic. State and local governments collected over $826 billion dollars in property taxes in 2025, a burden enforced by liens that can seize family homes. Yet this amount is dwarfed by documented fraud and waste across government. Federal improper payments alone reached $186 billion dollars in fiscal year 2025, with trillions lost since 2003. When combined with corporate tax abatements, insurance fraud, occupational fraud, investment fraud, and systemic overvaluations by appraisal districts, the total fraud easily exceeds property tax revenue and approaches three times that figure.

DOJ: The fraud is on a colossal scale and out of control (U.S. Fraud Exceeds Property Tax Revenue)

Editor's note: The real question for the DOJ is do they have the resources to go up against this criminally destructive fraud? It is not simply fraud. It is so severe that fraud can now be considered an existential threat to the existence of America. What we have concluded is that "property taxes are an allusion of necessity and a mechanism that funds fraud." Americans will then come to the conclusion that if this is the case, how are cities going to fund police, fire departments, EMT and other social services? Americans will continue to fund these social services but by eliminating property taxes Americans will eliminate the massive related fraud. Fraud has become so institutionalized and part of American institutional life that if even half of the fraud was eliminated Americans would not be required a single penny for property taxes. Fraud in America is so deeply embedded it has become automated. Americans demand a refund every year considering the enormous endemic fraud that is going on. The fraud is not only ongoing in property taxes but in the insurance industry, occupational fraud and investment fraud on a massive scale. In law, fraud vitiates a contract by rendering it voidable at the option of the innocent party. It is literally mind blowing and if your minds haven't been sufficiently blown, here is the proof.

State/Local Property Tax Revenue Rises Past $210 Billion in the Fourth Quarter

March 26, 2026 | By Jesse Wade

Property tax revenue collected by state and local governments rose for the ninth consecutive quarter according to the Census Bureau's quarterly summary of state and local tax revenue. Total tax revenue for state and local governments increased 2.1% over the quarter, with individual income tax revenue up 1.4%, sales tax revenue up 2.5%, and corporate income tax revenue up 8.3%. Property tax revenue rose the least amount over the quarter, up 1.0%. For 2025, state and local tax collections totaled $2.2 trillion, with property taxes accounting for $826.8 billion (37.5%).

"Hypersonic clarity": "accountability and transparency."

Editor's note: Seventy-seven former high-ranking Department of Justice officials, spanning multiple administrations, sent a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee endorsing President Donald Trump's nominee Todd Blanche for Attorney General. The letter highlights Blanche's extensive experience, from his start as a DOJ paralegal to his roles as an assistant U.S. attorney prosecuting violent crimes and now as Acting Attorney General. Supporters praise his leadership in advancing priorities like border security, combating fentanyl and violent crime, and recovering billions in fraud losses. Blanche's confirmation hearing begins Wednesday. The endorsement counters opposition from some Democratic and activist groups as usual. If Americans "no longer believe in America" they certainly will not have any belief in what is coming out of the DOJ regardless of the rhetoric about "accountability and transparency."

Patriot Failures as Lockheed Wins $850M Trident Upgrade

Editor's note: MIT Professor Theodore Postol recently analyzed the Patriot missile defense system. He argued using video evidence that the Patriot PAC-3 achieves far lower interception rates than official claims often suggest. Postol drew comparisons to the 1991 Gulf War and discussed Iranian countermeasures and regional risks. This revives debates over the reliability of systems built by Lockheed Martin and Raytheon. While Postol has long challenged missile defense performance claims (see Why so many of us were wrong about missile defense) some analyses show stronger results in Ukraine and Israel. Separately Lockheed Martin received this $850 million contract for the Trident II D5 Life Extension 2 program. The Trident is a submarine launched ballistic missile central to the US nuclear triad with a strong record of successful tests. Unlike the Patriot interceptor the D5 focuses on reliable offensive delivery. The contrast highlights differences between defensive interception challenges and proven strategic deterrent systems. The D5LE2 aims to extend service life into the 2040s while maintaining credibility.

Editor's note: ...the drone facility US Senator Lindsey Graham was visiting in Kiev as a warning to the US and NATO to back off Ukraine? Seems entirely plausible. If they did where is Graham's body? His death has resulted in conspiracy central. The internet was on fire after it was reported on Graham's death. People loathed the man and outright despised him. He spent most of his time in Washington DC defending Israel than he did South Carolina or the US. An alternative view is that Israel is being blamed for Graham's death in order to initiate WWIII. Remove Graham and blame the Russians? Will we ever know? Probably not. The world moves on. In six months the world will have forgotten all about Graham just as the world has forgotten about John McCain.

And the new selected British PM Andy Burnham is cut from the same Fabian cloth. The Fabian Society, established in 1884, is a British socialist group that pushed gradual, reformist change toward socialism and remains fully active today as a prominent left-wing think tank with thousands of members and formal ties to the Labour Party (a wolf in sheep's clothing). Early leaders like the Webbs and George Bernard Shaw openly embraced Malthusian population control ideas and eugenics, arguing for breeding out the "unfit" underclass to enable an efficient socialist state, views that shaped their welfare and social engineering proposals. It continues operating publicly, including unfortunately in the US, influencing policy on inequality and public services.
