A proposed $20 million Homeland Security purchase would equip ICE agents with electric-shock gloves already used by some law enforcement and prison personnel to force compliance from resisting subjects.

The Department of Homeland Security plans to buy thousands of the gloves capable of zapping suspects with painful 380-volt shocks in a no-bid contract worth up to $20 million, according to federal government purchasing records first unearthed by the Associated Press.

I believe we have reason to be skeptical of the official government narrative, that ICE is going to buy these gloves solely for the purpose of detaining illegals.

If you look at the numbers, President Trump is deporting roughly the same number of illegals than Biden did and is on a pace to deport fewer than Obama did in his first two years in office.

Now 19 months into his presidency, Trump has failed to deport the 1 million illegal aliens he promised to deport. As of the end of July, the White House’s own numbers amount to 601,000 deportations, which means the real numbers are likely lower. Analysts lament the lack of detailed data released by the Trump administration that would allow them to independently verify the stated number of deportations.

During his first two years in office, Barack Obama deported 1.2 million illegals, a number Trump will be hard pressed to match with only five months left before he hits the two-year mark of his second term. And Obama did it with a much smaller federal force.

GOING FOR ‘THE GLOVE’

Yet, even with this lackluster performance, ICE keeps growing, getting more agents, weapons and gear along with record amounts of funding.

One of its newest toys could soon be a device called the G.L.O.V.E. (Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter), produced by a Kentucky company called Compliant Technologies. It looks like an ordinary patrol glove until an agent presses a button, and then it drives up to 380 volts into bare skin, roughly three times what comes out of your wall outlet.

The company that makes the electric-shock gloves put a warning in its own manual: Don’t use them on small children, pregnant women, or the elderly.

These electric-shock gloves were originally produced for use in prisons, hospitals and increasingly by law enforcement agencies.

Shockingly, the company includes this statement on its website:

“By providing non-lethal alternatives, we aim to create a safer world for everyone involved. We believe this technology can lower liability, lessen risk, and create a more amiable atmosphere for the general population and those who protect and serve us.”

Amiable? I can see it now: Hello, I’m your friendly agent from the local office of ICE and I’m here to amiably hit you with 380 volts of electric-shock treatment if you don’t obey my orders!

These are the tools of psychopathic authoritarians and they will be used against more than just illegal immigrants, I can assure you that.

A jail administrator in Tennessee whose facility uses them explained the appeal of the glove to the BBC. Flip the switch, he said, and a small light comes on. The inmates learn what the light means. Most of the time, seeing it is enough. “An instant complier for me.”

Yes, I’d say ICE is in the process of being weaponized beyond what they already have been and for a purpose beyond illegal immigration.

It’s all well and good for most Americans watching the militarized ICE agents because, after all, it’s just the “others” who don’t belong here anyway who will be targeted.

GOVERNMENTS NEVER TELL THE TRUTH

I get the argument, at least in theory. These people came here illegally and deserve whatever consequences they encounter.

But that’s assuming the government is telling us the truth about all this militarization of our streets being geared toward the snatching up of illegals.

When’s the last time the government told the truth about its operations, especially those conducted under the cloak of an “emergency” or “crisis?” Remember the USA Patriot Act of 2001? Remember the Homeland Security Act of 2002? Remember all the emergency declarations during Covid at the state and federal levels? All of these actions by the government were brought in on the heels of scare-tactic propaganda campaigns and declared to be for our own protection, launched to contain and push back “Islam” and prevent the “war on terror” from coming to American shores. Americans lapped up that propaganda like thirsty dogs, only to see all of it turned inward against Americans. The Covid scare resulted in more freedoms being handed over to authoritarian nut jobs.

We now live with pat-downs, surveillance of our every move, metal detectors at our local county courthouses, Flock cameras on every corner of our cities, and police using AI to track us by our internet activity, cellphones, cars, REAL IDs, and various biometric face scans, eye scans, palm scans and even our individual “gait” or method of walking. This data is all collected, stored and sold to whoever.

Now, under the guise of once again “protecting” us and keeping us safe, the masses are being psychologically conditioned to accept as normal armed federal agents on the streets of our cities shoving people into black SUVs and hauling them off, never to be seen or heard from again.

As long as the focus is on the “other,” most Americans will tolerate these scenes of escalating violence and provocation. But let’s not be naive. ICE is being prepared for action against disobedient American citizens.

I’m going to lay out a scenario of how the hammer could come down.

ABUSED SAILORS AND DRAFT DODGERS

As we’ve seen in reports from multiple credible news outlets this week, including the Military Times, Stars and Stripes, and Navy Times, sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln are so disgruntled and demoralized that many have fallen into despair after being deployed at sea since Nov. 21 – that’s over 260 days or eight months – without a single port of call. At least six sailors, some reports say seven, have tried to jump overboard and end their lives. They complain of meager food rations of atrocious quality, lack of deodorant and toothpaste, scant access to mail, along with all of the normal mental health issues that come from being isolated from the outside world for so long. Normally, the Navy allows its ships to make a port of call at least once every 60 days. These folks have gone 260+ days.

The deployment, which was anticipated to end in May, has been extended with no publicly announced return date, according to Military Times.

Of course, the U.S. Navy denies all of this. Yet, just a few hours after the denial, the Navy announced on Thursday, August 13, that the USS Abraham Lincoln will be allowed to return home from the Middle East.

There were simply too many reliable sources reporting on the abuse of these sailors, many of them quoting wives, daughters and other family of USS Lincoln crew members.

Military analyst Larry Johnson writes in an August 13 post to his Substack:

“Pete Hegseth, the clown serving as Secretary of War, dismissed the complaints of the Navy families as ‘fake news.’ The only liar here is Hegseth.”

Mandatory flu shots have also recently been brought back by the Navy, after having been waived last year, a bait-and-switch that enticed hundreds of service members to re-enlist under Trump.

Johnson received this message from the mother of a sailor on the USS Tripoli:

“I believe I told you I’ve been worried about the mental health of these sailors & marines aboard the navy ships at war. Why? Because they removed all chaplains off my sons ship, the USS TRIPOLI. They kicked them off in Diego Garcia, right before their last leg of trip to entering CENTCOM. This pisses me off. I called so many politicians and raised those alarm bells about their removals. I asked how many other chaplains were removed on other ships??? Again nobody would call me back or email me these answers. And here we are, sailors trying to commit suicide at war. Good GOD, Hegseth NEEDS TO BE FIRED! I guarantee you many military families aren’t aware that their loved ones chaplains were removed before going to war. This is a critical asset to have a chaplain while at war!!! They see so many gruesome things (casualties, kids and friends blown up) that is hard for any human to deal with. This infuriates me!!! Who the hell can get this message to blast on all news, Hegseth had NO business in removing those chaplains. Politicians need to demand his firing and immediately place chaplains back on every navy ship, especially at war.”

THE COMING MILITARY DRAFT

Trump’s Iran war is already tremendously unpopular with most polls showing 65 to 70 percent of adult Americans opposed. The numbers are even higher for those under the age of 45.

As young Americans learn of the extremely poor treatment of U.S. service members aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, even fewer are going to be in the mood to sign up and volunteer to fight in Trump’s wars.

At a certain point, Trump will be forced to make a decision: either reinstate the draft or stop fighting the endless wars. Which do you think he will choose?

Just look at how the war is being waged in Ukraine. As that country runs out of men wanting to fight to the death in a war they never signed up for, they simply drag them off the streets or out of their homes and send them to the front lines.

Oh but that’s Ukraine, you say, this is America! Oh really? Remember Ukraine is the country the globalists and their lackeys in the controlled Western media continuously remind us is “fighting for their freedom” against Russia. They’re the good guys, the free ones. Russia is the authoritarian bad guy.

I’m telling you, Ukraine is the model for what’s coming to America. The two countries are run by the same cabal. The Epstein class. Why do you think Lindsey Graham made so many trips to Ukraine, including his last trip before his untimely death?

With war and national security as the pretense, citizens who resist the draft will get treated every bit as badly as those “aliens.” Remember when Trump called them animals? Picture your son or grandson being substituted for the alien.

There will be no mercy shown the draft resisters. Go to the front to die or go into one of the many undeclared black holes to rot away in isolation.

If we treat our own U.S. sailors and marines like captured animals, being fed the bare minimum and deprived of basic hygiene, how do you think they’ll treat a draft dodger?

As I reported in February 2026, the human warehouses have already been purchased and are ready to go.

There are other potential scenarios as well. How about Trump suspending elections or canceling the results of an election, or even his plan to federalize elections? Any of these scenarios would almost certainly ratchet up the chaos and trigger uprisings across America. Trump is so useful in this way to the globalist power elites who are looking for opportunities to further destabilize American society. Before they can install their Great Digital Reset they need to tear down and destroy what’s left of the old order. Trump doesn’t have a filter that allows him to discern policies that, while may sound good on paper, only serve to trigger people and increase the divisions in our country.

We’ve seen him make reckless decisions on foreign policy in the disastrous Iran war, and it’s only a matter of time before he acts with similar recklessness on the domestic front. Then it will be off to the races with martial law, press crackdowns and disappearing citizens.

Even if he doesn’t do this, he is most assuredly building the apparatus for the Democrats. Just because the administration changes in Washington doesn’t mean those 22,000 ICE agents wearing masks and shock gloves are going away. They will just be taking orders from a different boss, who may have a different target.

The Substack account Trigg Ledger Publisher was spot on when they summarized Trump’s Iran war adventure as follows:

“The Trump administration has walked headfirst into a geopolitical trap, decades in the making. Having swallowed the Israeli bait and committed U.S. power to an escalating regional war, Washington now finds itself geographically cornered and militarily depleted. There is no clean diplomatic exit, and the only remaining path forward demands a massive, politically unpalatable offensive escalation.”

The war isn’t going to end, folks. Not until the globalists use Iran and Trump to totally collapse what’s left of the American empire. With that overseas collapse, we should expect to see increasing chaos and destabilization of the American homeland. Get ready. I do not know the timing or how quickly this scenario will play out, but I can almost guarantee you it’s heading in that direction.

I’ve always admired and respected Ron Paul. If Americans had listened to him when he served in Congress in the 1980s, then again from 1997 through 2013, and had they voted for him when he ran for president, we would likely not be $40 trillion in debt today and bogged down in forever wars in the Middle East. Our economy would not be teetering on collapse. The dollar would be strong. Freedom would not be on the ropes. Technocracy would be on the outside looking in.

Dr. Paul will turn 91 next week, on August 20, but is still as sharp as ever. And still using his voice to speak out for freedom and true American values, not the values of the corrupt Epstein class of neocon warmongers which has hijacked our government.

Dr. Paul spoke out today on the latest post from our president.

In a post August 12 to his social media, President Trump declared that the U.S. controls the Strait of Hormuz and “I think we will keep it.” This despite the fact that Iran says it controls the strait and has bombed several tankers in recent days that tried to navigate it without going through Iran’s preferred route and paying a toll to the Islamic Republic. Remember, this key waterway was open and traversable free of charge to all nations before Trump launched his war against Iran on February 28.

Trump repeated his previous claims that Iran has been totally defeated, having “no navy” and “no air force,” ending his post with “Praise be to Allah.”

Is this just another in a series of bombastic proclamations on the part of a delusional president who believes his own lies (and is possibly suffering from dementia), or is he positioning himself to walk away and declare victory in hopes that he can con half the country into believing his fantasies about winning this war? I hope it’s the latter but if I was a betting man I’d say this war isn’t over.

The Ron Paul Liberty Report released an August 12 podcast that calls Trump on the carpet for his on-again, off-again war and threat-based foreign policy that’s just getting old. Frankly, it’s embarrassing.

Trump says he wants peace, but he wouldn’t know how to negotiate with a rival sovereign nation if it hit him in the face. Trump’s idea of diplomacy is holding a gun to the other side’s head and telling them to sign on the dotted line to his terms or he will bomb them “into the stone ages.”

Dr. Ron Paul, unlike Trump, understands the concept of national sovereignty and that it takes two sides doing the hard work of negotiating in good faith to resolve conflicts peacefully and avoid war. It’s even harder to end a war that’s already started. That typically only happens after one side has clearly defeated the other, not faught to a stalemate like the U.S. and Iran have done. Dr. Paul also understands the devastating pitfalls of empire and trying to be the world’s policeman. Listen below.

Dr. Paul nailed it when he said Trump’s bombastic comments “have nothing to do with victory.” He’s either pausing the war to rebuild munitions stockpiles or he’s positioning himself to walk away and bombard us with propaganda selling his retreat as a win.

Then at the 13-minute mark the video addresses the U.S.’s dwindling petroleum reserves, signaling an economic catastrophe if Trump doesn’t end this war soon. Dr. Paul makes the salient point that the Iranians are better prepared to endure economic hardship than Americans are. We’ve become soft. Trump is playing a game of economic Russian roulette that could easily backfire on the U.S.

Finally, the podcast addresses the enormous expense of serving as the world’s policeman. Trump’s latest battleship, to cost $23 billion, will be outdated and obsolete by the time it hits the water. A $23 billion American destroyer will be an inviting target for submarines, cheap drones, and hypersonic weapons.

An August 11 article in Responsible Statecraft concluded the $23 billion is a waste of taxpayer dollars, stating:

“The current National Security Strategy released in November 2025 calls for the United States to concentrate on defending the Western Hemisphere. Building the largest surface combatant ship since World War II, armed with conventional, hypersonic, and nuclear-tipped missiles, is hardly necessary to defend the seas close to home. Such a ship is designed specifically to project military power around the globe. The battleship plan provides more evidence that the national security establishment will do precisely what it wants to do, no matter what defense strategy the government adopts.”

Happy Birthday, Dr. Ron Paul. Too bad America rejected you and went for warmongering grifters like the Clintons, Bushes, Obama-Bidens and Trumps, instead of a true statesman and patriotic American.

Both of the two major American political parties are part of a death cult. Each worships death in their own distinct way.

The Republican Party, which I have focused on over the last 18 months only because they are the party in power, has membership rolls filled with bloodthirsty warmongers. The older Republicans especially, as a whole, will support any war that official Washington tells them needs to be fought. No questions asked.

The reason for the war doesn’t have to make sense. It doesn’t have to benefit America in any way. It doesn’t have to square with the facts on the ground. They will believe whatever false narrative Washington and its media lapdogs put out against the foreign boogeyman. Before you jump on me, I know there are exceptions. Not all boomers are warmongers. I myself am part of the baby boomer generation and I detest war. I believe wars should be fought for national defense of the homeland and that’s it. All else is corrupt scheming for the benefit of foreign interests and billionaires in the U.S. military-industrial-security complex.

Even the bombing of an elementary school in which 165 young girls and their teachers were killed on the first day of the Iran war, on March 1, did not move them. They have zero compassion or concern about the women, children and families killed by American and Israeli bombs. Their hearts and consciences have been seared and they are driven by a hatred for people they see as an inconvenient obstacle to a particularly ruthless brand of political Zionism. Yet, many of them call themselves Christian.

But let’s turn our focus now to the equally corrupt bloodlust of the Democrat liberal wing of the Washington Uniparty.

These folks rarely speak out against the endless foreign wars either, but it gets worse. They also never met a baby they didn’t think deserved to be a candidate for abortion.

This was evidenced Monday, August 10, when Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey signed a bill legalizing abortions up to birth. The signing ceremony was a joyous occasion marked by disgusting Democrat women who could not contain their jubilance. Watch them smile and clap here as the governor signs this murderous bill into law.

There are now 10 states, along with Washington, D.C., that allow abortions in all nine months of pregnancy.

Watch video below.

They say they want more “options” to kill babies. They call it “healthcare” and “abortion care.” Such clever word games.

All they need is for a doctor to say it’s OK and they can abort a fully formed baby in the ninth month of pregnancy. And they celebrate. They’re just “making decisions about their own bodies,” they say, an argument that falls flat when you consider these are the same people who tell us we should NOT have a choice about what gets injected into our bodies, including the bodies of children and pregnant women.

Celia Farber reports in her August 11 article on fetal mRNA atrocities, including babies that literally had heart attacks in the womb after their mother was “vaccinated” against Covid. Farber is the co-author, with obstetrician Dr. James Thorpe, of the book, Sacrifice: How the Deadliest Vaccine in History Targeted the Most Vulnerable.

In several Democrat-run states, including California and New York, they have even moved in recent years to eliminate the religious exemption for childhood vaccines.

The Amish have been fighting in court since 2019 to preserve their rights to reject childhood vaccine mandates. They send their children to their own private schools and yet the state of New York is trying to force them to vaccinate their kids against their will. Whatever happened to “my body my choice?”

For more than 300 years, when government made it impossible for the Amish to live according to their faith, they packed up, sold their farms, and moved somewhere they would be left alone.

America’s Frontline Doctors reports that New York’s school vaccine law is forcing them toward that same terrible choice: violate their faith or abandon the homes and communities they have built. Now the Second Circuit has made that threat even more immediate.

In Miller v. McDonald, Amish families challenged a 2019 New York law that eliminated religious exemptions from school vaccine mandates. Their private schools, built on Amish land and funded entirely by their own communities, refused to obey the mandate.

The state responded by imposing more than $118,000 in fines on a peaceful religious community. Their crime? They refused to violate their faith.

These families are educating their own children, on their own land, according to their faith.

According to evidence presented in the case, none of the 168 unvaccinated Amish children has been diagnosed with any of the chronic health conditions common among American children.

Simone Gold, founder and president of America’s Frontline Doctors, writes:

“Yet New York insists that these healthy children threaten the public.

In December, the Supreme Court vacated the Second Circuit’s ruling against the families and ordered the lower court to reconsider the case under the stronger parental-rights and free-exercise protections recognized in Mahmoud v. Taylor.

The instruction was clear: apply the correct constitutional standard.

The Second Circuit refused.

It once again allowed New York to preserve medical exemptions while categorically denying religious exemptions. The message to this peaceful religious minority could hardly be clearer: abandon your beliefs or leave.”

Attorney Aaron Siri, who represents the Amish families, described New York’s objective plainly. Government officials want the Amish to “abandon their beliefs” and “bend the knee.”

That’s always the message from these technocratic psychopaths: Bend the knee to the death cult, or else.

Support our wars or be called a traitor.

Support our baby-killing machines or you must be against female “healthcare.”

Support our death shots and give them to your children or be called a threat to society.

Democrat. Republican. Right. Left. It’s all part of the same cult.

Mother Teresa summed it up when she said, “Abortion is murder in the womb… A child is a gift of God. If you do not want him, give him to me.” She also said that “any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use violence to get what it wants.”

Isn’t that the same thing Republican neocons do? Use violence to get what they want in terms of foreign policy?

Democrats would rather see a child murdered than given up for adoption.

Republicans would rather see Gaza razed, Lebanon flattened, Iran bombed and looted, than to lean into diplomacy to solve differences.

In Canada, the elderly and disabled are being murdered in record numbers since that country legalized doctor-assisted suicide masquerading as “end of life care.”

Abortion care. End of life care. Are these our rightful caretakers?

War is peace. Death is life. Freedom is slavery. Murder is healthcare. They can’t stop telling us how much they “care” about those they exterminate.

All life is precious. Life inside the womb. The lives of civilians caught up in wars.

All life is of value in the eyes of God and should be treated with the utmost respect.

But the Republicans have no respect for innocent civilian lives in places like Gaza, Lebanon or Iran. And Democrats have no respect for innocent lives in the womb or in its last stages. Morally, there’s not a dime’s worth of difference between the two. Both are death cults. Both are anti-human and against God. They may place the focus of their lust for killing on different segments of humanity, but does that make one any less murderous than the other?

I woke up to a bizarre headline in my local newspaper one day earlier this week here in Newnan, a small city of roughly 46,000 population in Coweta County, Georgia.

As most of you know, I’ve been reporting for quite a while on the AI spy cameras blanketing America and their role in the rapidly developing surveillance state. Atlanta-based Flock Safety has more than 118,000 of these surveillance cameras in more than 6,000 American cities and towns. Axon and Motorola are also major players in the police surveillance business, so it’s not just Flock, even though Flock gets most of the attention.

So you can imagine my eyes popping out of my head when I looked at the August 4 edition of The Newnan Times Herald and saw the headline: “Three Coweta sheriff’s employees resign after audit flags Flock Safety access.”

The article contained scant information other than to tell us that three employees of our local Sheriff’s Office had been forced to resign after they were caught misusing video data they accessed from the county’s Flock surveillance cameras in violation of department policy.

According to the Sheriff’s Office, the three employees met with their department heads to discuss their use of the AI-powered Flock tracking system after an internal audit flagged their activity. During those meetings, each of the three employees “resigned before the audit process was completed and before an internal investigation was opened,” the article stated.

The sheriff’s office did not identify the employees, describe the nature of their positions, or specify what activity triggered the review. Whatever they did, it must have been very embarrassing to the Sheriff for him to so quickly dismiss them with no further information provided.

At the end of the article, it was casually reported that our local Sheriff would provide us with no more information on the unethical activity of his three employees, and that the entire case had been turned over to the Georgia Bureau of Investigations (GBI). Any further information will have to come from the GBI, which pretty much guarantees that we will never get any substantial information on what type of mischief occurred in Newnan, Georgia, because we’ve now essentially got Georgia cops investigating themselves.

If this case is anything similar to others across America involving the misuse of Flock cameras, we likely have a situation where law enforcement was spying on people in the community or tracking their movement, perhaps an ex-spouse, a girlfriend or hoped-for romantic interest, or some other personal use of the Flock surveillance technology that had nothing to do with actual law enforcement.

Here’s what should infuriate every citizen of Coweta County and every other community where these cameras are popping up along every major highway, secondary roads, bike paths, parks, shopping center parking lots and walking trails: If the police use this technology to track all of us, that’s allegedly good and proper. But if one of their employees uses it to track a particular individual, that’s considered bad.

Why not get rid of the cameras altogether? Americans don’t like being spied on by their government. It’s a blatant violation of the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and needs to stop. Until it does, we have no privacy and live as slaves. The prying eyes of government are watching our every move, then using the information in secret ways only they are privy to.

On this topic of surveillance cameras, I’d like to share what may be the most thorough article I’ve seen yet on why we should fight to get these spy cameras removed. The article was authored and posted to Substack Friday, August 7, by Dr. Joseph Sansone, a psychotherapist and author of the book Psychopathic Authoritarianism: A Disease of the Soul. Below is an excerpt from his must-read article titled “Flock Cameras are a Systemic Manifestation of Severe Psychopathic Authoritarianism.” Read it to the end to get not only a brilliant psychological analysis of our sick society, but the all-important historical perspective.

By Dr. Joseph Sansone

Flock Cameras have sprung up all across the United States. These cameras are all across America, from Florida to California. From Blue State to Red State, regardless of which political party is in power, these cameras are appearing. It is simply amazing how Republicans and Democrats can all work together, or at least look the other way, while a prison-style surveillance grid is being deployed along our roadways from sea to shining sea.

Flock cameras are AI-powered, solar-powered Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs). The cameras take a snapshot and create a digital fingerprint. The cameras read license plates and identify the registered state and create a vehicle fingerprint by identifying the vehicles’ color, make, model, and body type, even retaining specific details such as roof cracks, bumper stickers, dents, trailers, or scratches. It also retains metadata such as the exact timestamp, direction of travel, and location.

Allegedly the cameras allow police to create real time hot lists to compare vehicles against crime databases and retroactively search the activities of vehicles related to crime scenes. Police can also track vehicle histories across state lines. This must be why we have a crime-free America.

Make no mistake. The cameras are not being deployed to catch criminals. The cameras are being deployed to criminalize citizenship.

These cameras create a permanent map of law-abiding citizens and can record exactly where you sleep, work, worship, or socialize, completely destroying the right to move anonymously in an alleged free society. The cameras can be used to target political dissent by tracking who attended rallies and protests and can retroactively search the cameras surrounding the event to log the vehicle descriptions, license plates, and identities of every attendee. Cross-state surveillance allows one state to police actions in another state.

This is all done without a search warrant or probable cause. General warrants were one of the primary causes leading to the American Revolution.

Flock cameras criminalize citizenship and create the further unlawful disparity of power between civilians and the government they employ. Flock cameras further the inversion of power that already exists between government and the people.

Flock cameras will be used to restrict driving and enforce energy or climate lockdowns. In cities like London, massive networks of ALPR cameras are actively used to enforce the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) and congestion boundaries. If a human enters the zone with a non-compliant vehicle or during restricted hours, they will be mailed an excessive fine.

As the illegal war with Iran continues, will this lead to energy lockdowns or driving restrictions?

Flock cameras would certainly be used to enforce such restrictions. Imagine if Flock cameras existed during the COVID tyranny era. The severity of the oppression would have been much worse.

Massachusetts, California, and Oregon are already exploring ways to restrict driving by taxing Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT). Flock cameras can easily be used to support a tax-oppression scheme based on miles traveled. Gas taxes are already accomplishing this, however that is not oppressive enough. An energy lockdown in the foreseeable future would almost certainly utilize Flock cameras to punish drivers.

If not stopped, Flock cameras will be used in the future to geofence civilians into 15-minute cities. Leaving your designated area will lead to fines and imprisonment. The cameras will also be used to enforce proximity laws limiting civilian interaction based on social credit scores.

It is naïve to presume these unlawful cameras exist for benign purposes. The only reason to increase power over others is to satisfy an intent to exert power over others. Think of it like an object in motion staying in motion. An entity seeking and consuming power continues to do so until stopped.

It is vitally important to conceptualize the deployment of Flock cameras not merely as an unconstitutional violation of the 4th Amendment, and an abuse of technology. Flock cameras must also be viewed as severe pathology, a systemic manifestation of Psychopathic Authoritarianism, enhanced by technological advancement.

In my upcoming book, Psychopathic Authoritarianism: A Disease of the Soul, I detail the individual and systemic pathology of Psychopathic Authoritarian Disorder (PAD) and the recurrent societal manifestation of Psychopathic Authoritarianism. Fear and control are vital elements in the Psychopathic Authoritarian system as it drives the Dark Tetrad of sadism, narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy. I describe this in great detail I my book, so I will not do so here.

A system of government that monitors civilians without a warrant or probable cause is akin to an insanely jealous lover that monitors your every move, questions your every action and interaction, and violates your basic autonomy and freedom of consciousness. Such behavior is not remotely normal or healthy. A healthy well-adjusted person would not put up with such nonsense. Likewise, a healthy collection of individuals would not put up with such nonsense on the systemic level from government.

If your romantic partner had zero trust in you, it would be naïve to place trust in them. If the government has zero trust in the people, why would the people place any trust in that government?

Whether it is monitoring online activity or monitoring your movements on the roadway, a system of government that engages in such activities is a rogue system of government and must be rebuffed.

On the other hand, the government has what seems to be a perpetual stream of secrets. Secret programs, secret agencies, classified programs and documents, secret wars, and so on. The idea that a government can legitimately have secrets is antithetical to the concept of a Constitutional Republic.

The people controlling the money supply, media, and the government are suffering from severe PAD. Understanding the surveillance state as a severe pathology is necessary to facilitate the reconceptualizing of a proper relationship between government and the people. Psychopathic Authoritarianism is a disease of the soul that has become a systemic threat to our species.

Regardless of the situation, Psychopathic Authoritarians utilize it to argue for more power and control. This is not a healthy functional response to the current domestic or world situation. Once you realize that you are dealing with people with a dangerous pathology it then becomes imperative to create restrictive boundaries and limit power to those with PAD.

Contrast the attitude of those with PAD with that of James Madison. James Madison was a combat veteran and was present in the darkest hours of the American Revolution and fought at the battle of Trenton, the turning point of the war. As President, during the war of 1812, after the British burned the White House to the ground, and First Lady Dolley Madison had to flee the White House salvaging the unflattering iconic portrait of an elderly George Washington, even after that, Madison, the father of the Constitution, did not violate the Bill of Rights. Madison did not use this event as an excuse to usurp liberty. Madison had faith in the freedom and Natural Rights preserved in the U.S. Constitution.

When people with severe pathology at work entailing a lust for power that supersedes all reason, seek to usurp human dignity and human liberty, Americans must keep James Madison in mind. With the White House burning to the ground and his wife fleeing the scene, Madison valued human liberty and dignity more than the lust for power.

In Federalist paper number 40, Madison, while paraphrasing the Declaration of Independence, asserts that the right to revolution is transcendent. Such an understanding mandates a government that treads lightly. The United States government and the 50 state governments, including local governments, are operating illegally. This situation must be corrected.

I have been saying since the Covid psyop was rolled out in 2020 that in order to understand what’s going on in the world you must know that the overriding principle driving the policies of globalist power elites is to drastically depopulate the world, and that Covid was just the first shot fired across the bow toward that eventuality.

Global fertility rates have plummeted to near record lows since the mRNA vaccines were mass injected into people’s bodies starting in late 2020. I don’t believe that’s a coincidence. Healthcare has become totally unaffordable for a growing segment of the population even in wealthy countries like America, and even those who can afford to keep their insurance are receiving AI-driven healthcare that is of inferior quality. But the doctor’s office is not the only means of population reduction. That’s just the beginning.

The elitist goal of mass depopulation was plastered in no uncertain terms on the Georgia Guidestones and the timing and manner in which that monument was destroyed in July 2022 seemed questionable, to say the least. Among the 10 principles for sustainable living posted on that monument near Elberton, Georgia, was reducing the global population down to around 500 million, in order to bring humanity into proper “balance” with nature.

I have always maintained that the 500 million goal was probably too aggressive to achieve but that a more realistic goal was to cut the world population in half, taking it from 8 billion down to around 4 billion.

Low and behold, a new scientific study has just been released calling for exactly that.

Scientists propose ‘final sustainable solution’ they’re not calling genocide

A group of 11 scientists published a paper on July 26, 2026, in the Sustainable Development Journal the suggests that cutting the world’s population in half would lead to habitat recovery, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, less conflict over resources and less poverty. Some of the authors stated a population as low as 1 billion to 3 billion would be ideal, but all agreed it should not be above 4 billion.

The article states:

“We show that slowing and gradually reversing population growth to 4 billion or less by 2200, while moderating per capita impacts, is the path toward sustainability.”

The paper never says exactly how the world should go about reducing the population by such drastic amounts.

The paper states:

Some who have worked the numbers conclude we have already far surpassed sustainable levels of both population and per capita consumption. For example, Lianos and Pseiridis (2016) calculated the sustainable (overshoot-free) population at 3.1 billion living on the global 2011 average income. Dasgupta et al. (2023), using a different method, reached a roughly similar conclusion. Whitmore (2024) estimates the long-term carrying capacity of the planet as “2.5 billion with current resource usage, and 8 billion with one third of current resource usage.” Willey (2000) presents an argument that a population around 1 billion would be sustainable for “a good quality of life available to everyone everywhere.”

The culling of humanity is presented by the paper’s authors as a gradual, slow reduction of human life on the planet. Of course, it would be too shocking to tell the truth about the timing of the mass die off, likely within the next three to five years, perhaps seven to 10 at the most. That would look too suspicious, and beg the question of what could possibly cause so many people to die in such a short span of time. So they stretched the stated timeframe out 174 years to the year 2200.

At the same time, we see major nuclear powers rewriting their nuclear doctrines. Russia did this a couple of years ago in light of the Ukraine war.

And now the U.S. Pentagon confirms it is rewriting its nuclear doctrine “in preparation for potential war with Russia and China.”

According to an exclusive NBC News report, Defense Department policy chief Elbridge Colby is drafting the new strategy where nuclear weapons are concerned, involving shorter-range tactical munitions. This is reportedly in case the U.S. finds itself in a conflict with Russia and China.

NBC spoke to five sources familiar with the plans led by Colby, which are said to depart from decades of U.S. nuclear doctrine. The sources say the new draft “emphasizes the possible use of shorter-range tactical weapons in case of a regional war with China or Russia.”

It focuses on tactical options, with shorter-range weapons specifically designed for battlefield use, instead of the long-range weaponry used in Cold War deterrence.

The timing of this announcement is no accident. The U.S. finds itself locked into a potential war of attrition with Iran that is not going well and if it continues on the current path, it will eventually lead to war with Russia and China. The U.S. is by all accounts running out of munitions, including major stand-off missile systems like the Tomahawk and JASSM cruise missiles, as well as interceptors used in air defense.

I wrote about this a couple of weeks ago and proffered the question: What happens when the U.S. runs out of conventional weapons with which to strike Iran?

Well, that’s where the amended nuclear doctrine comes into play. No longer will it be an existential threat to the U.S. homeland that triggers an intercontinental nuclear response. It could now be something as simple as we have no other options left in a regional war of attrition with Iran so we are going to attach a tactical nuclear warhead to a Tomahawk missile and launch it from a U.S. warship into Tehran.

That sounds reasonable enough on paper to some, but they are short-sighted. The thinking is that if the U.S. were to resort to nuclear weapons against Iran, Russia and China would sit back and do nothing as long as it wasn’t a large warhead that affects surrounding countries. I don’t agree with that analysis. I believe using nuclear weapons, no matter how “small,” will be a major escalation almost guaranteed to draw an equally devastating response against the U.S. from Russia and/or China.

With the superpowers all rewriting their nuclear doctrines, the chances of all-out nuclear war have been greatly enhanced. But you won’t hear that from the mainstream corporate media. It’s almost like they want people to be completely surprised and caught off guard when it happens.

That, combined with continued developments in the area of biological weapons and vaccines, could trigger another pandemic. Famine is also now guaranteed thanks to Trump’s Iran war that has led to shortages of critical fertilizers getting to farmers in time for the current growing season. If a second consecutive growing season is affected, you double the number of people left to starve. Mass migration will be triggered by famine, and that means social unrest in wealthier countries that are unable to handle the sudden influx of starving migrants. Civil wars also do a great job of reducing populations.

It all adds up to extreme depopulation. And I don’t believe it will take until the year 2200 for the globalists to realize their stated goal of halving the global population.

All of the factors needed to cull the population are converging, with war, pestilence, famine and economic collapse all in the offing over the next few years.

This will set the stage for an all-new system of global governance focused on the digitalization of human identities and paper fiat currencies being replaced with tokenized assets and digital/programmable currencies. Controlling 8 billion people through these types of AI-driven systems will be difficult to pull off. It would require too many data centers draining too much energy from the system. To achieve “sustainability,” they need to get that number down to 3 or 4 billion humans.

And guess whose kids won’t be sent to the war fronts or injected with cancer-causing serums? That’s right, the billionaire elites.

The Bible says, “My people perish for lack of knowledge.” Don’t let yourself or your family get ensnared in the government psyops that will lead to premature death. Vaccines anyone? Want to sign up for the military? How about some poisonous ultra-processed food, or some lab-grown “cultured meat” grown from animal cancer cells? Your answer to all of these should be a resounding NO!

The hypocritical and utter fraudulent nature of U.S. foreign policy is again on full display as the U.S. State Department under Secretary of State Marco Rubio is posturing to lift all remaining economic sanctions on Syria’s new Islamist government and remove it from its list of state sponsors of terrorism.

This proves once again that the U.S. penchant for punishing countries economically has absolutely nothing to do with terrorism or tyranny in those countries and everything to do with money and hegemony.

The new regime in Damascus is headed by former al-Qaeda terrorist Ahmed al-Sharaa, who President Trump entertained at the White House earlier this year and called a “young attractive guy” who is “pretty amazing.”

Al-Sharaa’s hardline Sunni Islamist government, which took over Syria in a U.S./Israeli-supported coup in December 2024 following years of civil war, has killed hundreds of Christians, Druze and Alawite Shia Muslims.

According to a March 31, 2026 report by the Gatestone Institute:

Following al-Sharaa’s December 2024 seizure of power in Syria, persecution of religious minorities, including Christians, Druze and Alawites, has skyrocketed as the country undergoes a process of radical Islamization.

So, what changed so significantly that the Syrian regime is suddenly in the good graces of Washington and no longer considered a terrorist nation?

Well, for one thing the new Syrian regime is seen as less of a threat to Israel, but the clincher is that he’s also agreed to stop buying oil from Russia. In short, the Syrian regime has agreed to join the Western, dollar-dominated financial system.

Reuters reports:

Damascus has agreed to drastically reduce imports of Russian oil as part of its ongoing discussions with the United States on lifting the last major ​sanctions designation on Syria, three sources familiar with the conversations told Reuters.

Such a reduction would represent a major shift in energy policy in Syria, which has become heavily reliant on Russian ‌oil despite a political pivot to the West, and raises the question of how Syria would plug the hole left behind.

It would also be a new way for the U.S. to exert pressure on Russia’s economic sway in the country, experts say.

In recent months, senior Syrian officials have told the U.S. they are willing to reduce Russian oil imports as they discussed Washington removing Syria from a decades-old list of state sponsors of terrorism, according to a Syrian source with direct knowledge ​of the conversations, a U.S. official and another source briefed on the matter.

So there you have it. Slapping the “terrorism” label on foreign countries and punishing them with crippling economic sanctions has absolutely nothing to do with actual terrorism. It’s all about playing ball with the U.S. agenda to deliver a black eye to Russia and send more profits to Western corporations.

All the “former” al-Qaida head-chopper had to do was change his name from Muhammad al-Julani to Ahmed al-Sharaa, change from his Islamic garb into a nicely tailored Western suit, and agree to purchase his oil from Western-approved sources and he’s good to go. No more “terrorist” label. Suddenly he’s invited to White House dinners and becomes the first Syrian president to address the United Nations in 60 years. His country is also qualified now for loans through the International Monetary Fund, Word Bank, and other Western financial conduits.

Much the same dynamic is at play right now in Iran. The Shia Islamic regime in Tehran are nothing I’d want to live under, but does it live up to its reputation as the “world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism?” This mantra has been repeated about Iran for decades by Western governments and their propaganda mouthpieces in both the conservative and mainstream media. Of course they never offer any numerical proof of such charges because if they did it would become obvious that the U.S. government has killed far more civilians and assassinated more heads of state over the last 75-80 years than has Iran. That doesn’t mean Iran’s government is good (is any government truly good?), but it’s not the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, not by a long shot. The real crime committed by the regime in Tehran is the same crime that was committed by Bashur al-Assad in Syria before he was overthrown, and Saddam Hussein in Iraq before he was overthrown, and Moamar Qaddafi in Libya before he was overthrown. They all wanted to sell their oil and resources to countries not approved by the U.S. in non-dollar currencies, which are not as easy to control or profit from by Big Oil and the central banking cartel.

And, in every one of the above countries, a largely secular strongman was overthrown, replaced with a more hardline Muslim regime, then it becomes open season on Christians and other religious minorities. Washington’s hands are soaked in the blood of the martyrs.

Washington is running the same operation now in Iran: Years of crippling economic sanctions, followed by relentless bombing raids, the goal of which is to destabilize the country and hope it devolves into civil war, then break it up into smaller countries and steal its resources. Wash, rinse, repeat. It’s a familiar model used by the same globalist neocons who have dominated U.S. foreign policy since the 1950s.

They also have the majority of Americans mind-controlled to the point of being numb to the wars, and ignorant of the real purpose for the wars. Americans are typically uninterested in foreign policy as long as their boys aren’t drafted to fight Washington’s wars and as long as the wars stay far away from American soil. These are factors that could soon change now that Trump is in over his head in Iran. Notice how Trump campaigned on reining in federal spending and ending the forever wars, yet as soon as he got in office, he started new wars in Venezuela and Iran and kept others going in Ukraine and Somalia.

But I believe this bloody U.S. game of fomenting endless wars and revolutions, violating other countries’ sovereignty and stealing their resources, all under the guise of “spreading freedom and democracy,” is coming to an end. Russia is close to finishing off Ukraine, having recently cut off Ukraine’s access to the Black Sea, rendering it effectively landlocked and preventing it from getting supplies or exporting its grain via the port at Odessa. It’s only a matter of time now before the Ukrainian terror regime being propped up by the international criminal syndicate known as NATO is defeated.

At the same time, the U.S. appears on the verge of a humiliating defeat in Iran. If that happens, the U.S. will be permanently kicked out of the Middle East and what’s left of its reputation as a global superpower will be shattered. The long-feared American military juggernaut has been exposed as a paper tiger that is unprepared to fight and win in modern warfare.

Unfortunately, the fall of an empire is going to send major economic shockwaves throughout the world.

Washington’s war on Russia’s and Iran’s oil production and the resulting closure of key waterways preventing other Persian Gulf countries from exporting their oil and fertilizer is going to result in a global depression, famine and massive depopulation over the next three years.

All of this is happening on Trump’s watch. That’s why I call him The Destroyer. He was selected by the globalist power elites to finish the job started by Obama and Biden to destroy America as a global power.

America’s decline might have happened gradually and with less pain as the world shifted to a multipolar economic system. But under Trump, the process is being sped up by reckless overseas actions in the Middle East, fighting an unwinnable war against Iran and funding another unwinnable war against Russia and generally serving as an agent of global chaos.

Now is the time to get prepared as best you can for the coming calamity. If you are struggling under mounds of credit card debt, it may be too late to focus on getting that paid off. Instead, focus on buying some storable food, water, gasoline if you have a place to store it, and a means of self-defense. Learn new skills like gardening and how to repair old things instead of buying new ones.

I would also suggest that you get books. Physical, classic books, both fiction and non-fiction, history books, bibles and spiritual books. Because one day they won’t be available and you might find yourself cut off from the Internet. It’s been reported recently by multiple news outlets that the major AI companies are buying up rare books, scanning them into digital format and destroying them. We really are living in a time foretold by George Orwell in his 1948 classic novel 1984, where inconvenient news, facts and history gets flushed down the memory hole. And anyone who publicly opposes the government’s wars, censorship, corruption and lies gets pronounced guilty of thought crime and disappeared.

Stay strong. Never comply. Question everything.

Sometimes, resistance starts in the least likely of places.

In West Virginia, a group of Republicans in the State Legislature recently issued a statement that they intend to take up the issue of AI surveillance cameras in the next legislative session.

In a statement sent on behalf of the West Virginia Republican Legislative Committee and House Republicans, Director Cole Snyder expressed a commitment to balancing support for law enforcement with privacy rights.

“As Republicans in a state whose motto is ‘mountaineers are always free,’ we are committed to protecting citizens from unwarranted government surveillance,” Snyder said. “We are also committed to supporting our great law enforcement officers, and we are confident we can provide them with the tools they need to do their jobs without compromising the rights and privacy of our citizens.”

GOP lawmakers in the West Virginia Legislature’s Freedom Caucus are also pushing for a statewide ban on AI-powered surveillance cameras, including those manufactured by Atlanta-based Flock Safety and similar companies, arguing the technology violates citizens’ Fourth Amendment right to privacy.

Whether it will be a strong enough response remains to be seen but the initial statements sound hopeful. When they talk of “balancing” the needs of law enforcement against the citizens’ right of privacy, that to me sounds like the door could be left open to some kind of surveillance “tools.” But it’s too early to tell. And, frankly, this statement is more than we’ve seen in any other state, so hopefully West Virginia lawmakers will see the movement they’ve started spread to other states with more than just feel-good legislation that sounds good but provides loopholes for technocrats to exploit.

West Virginia Delegate Chris Anders, the chairman of the Freedom Caucus in the State Legislature, provided a statement to Fox News that sounds stronger and more specific than the House Republicans’ statement cited above. Anders told Fox:

“The West Virginia Freedom Caucus strongly opposes the unchecked expansion of automated surveillance technologies, including Flock Safety camera systems, automated license plate readers (ALPRs), AI-powered facial recognition, multimodal vehicle recognition, and emerging ‘gun detection’ software that claims to identify armed citizens based on body shape or movement. These technologies represent a dramatic expansion of government surveillance that is fundamentally at odds with the Fourth Amendment.”

“No state or local government should be mass tracking the daily movements of law-abiding citizens without a warrant. Mass surveillance has no place in a free society,” Anders wrote in a statement posted to the Freedom Caucus’s X account, adding, “For two consecutive years, the Fourth Amendment Restoration Act has been introduced in the West Virginia Legislature, yet it has failed to reach the Governor's desk. That must change.”

Furthermore, the West Virginia Freedom Caucus is calling on all state municipalities to immediately remove automated license plate readers such as the ones run by the security company Flock Safety.

“The Constitution does not disappear because technology advances,” Anders added.

The Freedom Caucus wants to ban all surveillance technologies by reintroducing a previously failed legislation called the Fourth Amendment Restoration Act.

The bill would prohibit AI-powered surveillance technologies from being used by law enforcement and other agencies in the state. The technologies it would ban include facial-recognition software, surveillance drones, license plate readers and more.

The West Virginia GOP lawmakers’ statement is being broadcast as a “movement to ban Flock cameras.” Perhaps that is what will happen but until the proposed law is written in its final form, voted on and signed by the Governor, we are jumping ahead of ourselves by saying West Virginia’s lawmakers are planning to ban this or that type of surveillance camera.

What really needs to be banned is technocracy. All of it. For example, banning stationary surveillance cameras but not the new breed of surveillance drones would be like telling the Nazis you were going to ban the Brownshirts just as they were ready to roll out the Blackshirts.

If an all-inclusive anti-surveillance bill were to pass and be signed by the governor, which I doubt it would, the big test would come when these lawmakers in West Virginia get singled out for punishment by President Donald Trump, who is 100 percent on the side of turning America into a lockdown technocratic surveillance state and is providing every financial incentive to do so. If West Virginia is serious about moving forward with a serious anti-surveillance bill, Trump will threaten to run the governor and GOP legislative leaders out of office. In short, they will receive the Thomas Massie treatment. Trump could also cut off federal highway funds to any state that bans surveillance cameras.

We’ve seen Trump totally neutralize the so-called Freedom Caucus at the federal level in the U.S. House of Representatives, so you can bet he will attempt to use the same intimidation tactics against politicians at the state level who oppose his plans to blanket America with AI data centers and AI surveillance cameras.

I believe strongly that West Virginia will cave if they have to stand alone on this issue. Either the bill will get watered down or not signed into law at all. But if we see a dozen or more other states follow West Virginia’s lead and move to ban surveillance cameras, that’s a sign that the movement is growing too big to stop, even for Trump.

I will say that it is at least encouraging to see one state standing up and acknowledging that citizen privacy is an important issue that needs to be addressed in the face of America’s expanding techno-fascist beast system in which the state cooperates with Big Tech to digitally surveil and enslave the citizenry.

Below is an excerpt from an article by WFMD 930 AM in West Virginia, where it is revealed that Republicans in the state are anything but unified on this issue, meaning it is likely doomed to fail.

“For two consecutive years, the Fourth Amendment Restoration Act has been introduced in the West Virginia Legislature, yet it has failed to reach the Governor’s desk. That must change,” Anders also said, placing blame for the bill’s previous failures at the feet of the state’s legislative leadership.

“Despite growing public concern over government surveillance, Speaker Roger Hanshaw and House Judiciary Chairman JB Akers declined to bring the bill forward for consideration. As a result, the House was never given the opportunity to debate or vote on the legislation,” Anders wrote in an email to Fox News Digital.

“If House leadership continues to deny the people’s elected representatives the opportunity to vote on this fundamental constitutional issue, the Freedom Caucus will use every parliamentary tool available to insist that the Fourth Amendment Restoration Act receive an up-or-down vote in both chambers. Constitutional rights should never be quietly buried in committee,” Anders added.

Chairman Akers, in a response to Anders’ comments, told Fox News Digital, “We actually passed a bill last session that limits the amount of surveillance law enforcement may engage in on private property. Unfortunately, Chris Anders submits sloppily drafted bills given to him by outside groups. In the 4th Amendment context, his proposals would prevent even normal law enforcement actions that conservatives support.”

“Last session, he tried to amend a bill in a way that would have prevented police from entering property even if a dead body were in plain view in the front yard. Bluntly, his idea was dumb,” Akers said of Anders’ proposal draft. “He left me no choice but to say that. If he’s going to blame others for failing to get his bills through, then he needs to do better work. Frankly, I think he’d rather see his bad bills fail so he can then scream RINO for clicks.”

Other Freedom Caucus members also objected to the Flock cameras.

“The Fourth Amendment was written specifically to stop the government from engaging in generalized surveillance and warrantless searches,” West Virginia Freedom Caucus Secretary Henry Dillon said in a statement. He argued that “Flock cameras don’t just identify criminals — they create a database documenting where law-abiding citizens worship, seek medical care, conduct business, and travel.”

“That is fundamentally incompatible with a free society,” he said.

Another Freedom Caucus member, State Senator Craig Hart, pointed to a series of alleged police abuses involving Flock cameras in Georgia, including a 2025 incident in which Braselton Police Department Chief Michael Steffman was arrested for allegedly using automated license plate readers to stalk and harass people.

Let me know in the comments if you think West Virginia’s mini-uprising is being overhyped by the conservative press and will peter out before it amounts to any real reining in of the surveillance state, or if it could be the spark that lights the fuse in a nationwide revolt against the “tools” of technocracy.

In case you haven’t noticed, the war in the Middle East is expanding.

Just in the last few days, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Egypt have all been drawn into the conflict that started with just three parties — the U.S., Israel and Iran. The new additions make this a truly regional war with global ramifications. Even Ukraine managed this week to get involved, striking an Iranian ship it said was sending military supplies to Russia. For those who needed an outward sign, this attack by Ukraine connects the Middle East war with Iran to the war against Russia in Eastern Europe. As I’ve been saying for months, it’s all part of the same war.

Egyptian officials confirmed today that two ships on its Mediterranean coast came under a drone attack Wednesday at the port of Damietta, a key loading point for liquified natural gas (LNG). As of this writing, no nation or entity has claimed responsibility for the attack, a sure sign of a false flag by malevolent forces, while Western fingers are predictably being pointed at Iran. You can use your imagination as to who would like to expand the war in the direction of Egypt by looking at whose interests that serves.

So far, this is following the exact trajectory I predicted when these wars started in Ukraine and the Middle East. Because I saw them as part of the same major war, not separate conflicts, I knew they would continue to escalate and anyone talking about memorandums of understanding (MoU), peace talks and Trump looking for an off-ramp doesn’t know what they’re talking about and aren’t worth listening to. Trump may want an off ramp, but the powers driving these wars and financing them will make sure he isn’t presented with one that his ego will let him take. Those financing the wars are the ones pulling the puppet strings. The politicians associated with the wars are mere front men.

Donald Trump by now must be well aware that bombing alone is not going to take out the Iranian government. A ground invasion will be necessary. But he also knows that any landing of troops on Iranian soil will result in tremendous casualties for the invaders.

All this talk from various Iranian ex-pats that gets regurgitated by conservative podcasters and writers that the Iranian regime is weak and ready to fall as soon as U.S. troops hit the ground is pure fantasy. Then, they tell us, Iran can install the Clown Prince Reza Pahlavi, the playboy son of the former Shah, to rule happily ever after in the interests of America and Israel. Pure poppycock. Do not listen to these people. Reza would not survive one week without a bloody civil war tearing apart Iran, if he could even govern without being assassinated.

Trump himself knows this.

But Trump doesn’t want to land U.S. troops on Iranian soil if he can help it, at least not right before the mid-term elections. He knows launching this phase of the war would result in high casualties in a very unpopular war and that such a war would also likely require the U.S. to reinstate a military draft.

Ideally, I believe Trump would like to find a willing proxy to invade Iran. The Kurds have been mentioned as one possibility but Iran seems ready for that eventuality. Could Egypt be a better option? Egypt has a very large army and we see that country being hit at its weak point, the Suez Canal zone and connected ports, a major trade route into the Mediterranean Sea.

If we see further assaults on Egypt’s main economic connection to the outside world, that’s a sign that they are being targeted for the role of willing proxy against Iran. Egypt also has a large Sunni Muslim population, which has no love for Iran’s Shia Muslims, so the religious element also works in favor of them being recruited as a Western proxy, along with the Kurds, the Saudis and anyone else who is willing to join the fight against Iran.

But I do believe we are still an escalation or two away from any ground invasion of Iran. I could see a scenario unfold where the U.S. recruits a proxy force to invade Iran and then sends in its troops to finish the job, but even this supposed mop-up role could take longer than Trump believes and require a very unpopular military draft. Once Trump reinstates the draft, many more Americans who are currently tuned out will wake up and protest sending their sons to fight another overseas war on behalf of foreign interests. This will cause Trump to clamp down on protests, potentially declaring martial law and possibly even canceling elections in 2028. He has been known to talk about a third term, having brought that up again just a few days ago.

And now we have a report out of Israel that something big is getting ready to go down in the war against Iran.

The Iran-affiliated Hormuz Letter posted Thursday to its X account as follows:

BREAKING: Israel says the U.S. is preparing for something “bigger than anything we have seen before” in the war on Iran, a senior Israeli security official tells Channel 15. The official adds the U.S. is preparing for a large-scale unprecedented operation against Iran, not just a single isolated response, with Israeli defense circles saying the U.S. is approaching a major counter-response.

That same source reported a couple of hours later:

BREAKING: Saudi Arabia has just launched multiple airstrikes on Sanaa, the capital of Yemen. Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi warned shortly before “the indications reveal the Saudis are heading toward full escalation. We will meet their full escalation with full escalation.”

Shortly before that, The Hormuz Letter reported that Iran had landed direct hits on U.S. assets at its air base in Jordan, destroying three F-35 fighter jets and killing at least one U.S. military officer along with an unspecified number of “maintenance personnel.” This has not been confirmed by the U.S. military.

BREAKING: For the first time since the start of the war, Iran’s IRGC announces the complete destruction of 3 F-35 fighter jets and significant damage to 3 others at the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, through multiple ballistic missiles targeting the deployment ramp and maintenance hangar this morning, per Tasnim. Iran had not previously announced the destruction of an F-35. The IRGC adds several U.S. officers and maintenance personnel were also killed at the base. The strike comes in response to a U.S. strike on 2 residential homes on Qeshm Island earlier this morning, killing a father, mother, and their 2-year-old child, and injuring 2 other children.

It’s difficult to know how much of this is true. Both sides are waging an information war as intense as the kinetic war. But it’s safe to say that the war’s trajectory and the nature of the rhetoric on both sides suggests that violence is reaching new heights across the Middle East, as it is in Russia and Ukraine, and pretty soon nobody will be able to deny we are in World War III.

Remember, the ultimate goal of the globalist power elites is to take down the flailing U.S. empire and its outdated paper petro dollar and replace it with some form of global government with a new global currency.

So whatever the Trump administration has up its sleeve will ultimately backfire. Could we be on the verge of a defeat so humiliating that even the arch-salesman Donald Trump can’t spin it as a victory?

Only time will tell. But one thing I want to stress is that we should not get excited whenever either side in this now global conflict starts talking about peace. The false peace that will eventually come is probably two or three years away. Before you can have any semblance of peace, there must be a clear winner and clear loser in World War III. And since this war is just starting to get cranked up, we are a long way off from that.

But right now, the U.S. is being exposed as a paper tiger and Trump is going to be obsessed with trying to reverse that trend and reasserting American strength. Trump is not a rational man who is driven by facts, such as the fact that the U.S. is running out of missiles and munitions, running low on oil reserves, and that there are limits to what American military power can achieve. There’s also the disturbing fact that changes in modern warfare actually mean America’s bloated military budget is spent mostly on weapons that have become obsolete. Not only are they obsolete, but they are tremendously expensive and will take several years to restock.

Instead of focusing on facts and acting rationally, Trump is driven by his emotions, which buttress his overwhelming desire to be seen as a winner of heroic proportions. This is exactly the type of political leader the global financiers needed and wanted at this point in history, because his egocentric emotional responses to events make him super easy to manipulate. He wants to go down in history as the one president who conquered the imaginary demons crafted by the globalists for decades – Russia, China, Iran. Trump wants to bag them all. And it’s his hyper-emotional, overzealous nature that will actually hasten America’s downfall, allowing the globalists to replace the American-dominated global order with their long-coveted new international economic order based on technocracy and an air-tight digitalized control grid ruling over a vastly smaller global population.

These globalist power elites want to take the population down from 8 billion to no more than 3 or 4 billion. They need to get rid of the useless eaters whose jobs can be performed by AI. But more importantly, they need to eliminate the dissidents and independent thinkers who they know will never comply with the digital slave state powered by AI and supported by the massive data centers. War, disease, and widespread famine are their ticket to realizing their depopulation goals. All three are progressing nicely, while our politicians conduct theatrical hearings meant to give us the impression they care about the last great depopulation scam from six years ago. They don’t care. And none of the perpetrators will suffer any consequences. Not then. Not now. Not ever. Until Jesus Christ returns and replaces their global order with His kingdom order.

It’s like every gas station gets a memo at the same time to raise their prices by the same amount.

This is digital pricing as it relates to just-in-time inventory schemes.

But what if digital pricing is invading all of our retail purchases, starting with the nation’s two largest grocery-store chains – Walmart and Kroger?

Get ready, because that’s exactly what is in the works.

Walmart is now capable of setting the price of every one of its tens of thousands of store items to match the highest price a specific customer is willing and able to pay.

Based on its data collection and the ability of its many in-store cameras to read customers’ emotions, Walmart, with the help of AI, knows whether or not a specific customer can afford to purchase any specific item in its storewide system. It uses personal data on each customer culled from various sources and in-store cameras that spy continuously on every shopper. These cameras pick up your facial expressions, note whether you hesitate or pause before putting an item in your cart or back on the shelf; they note how well you are dressed; what kind of car you drive; estimate your net worth, etc. This, combined with your past buying habits, allows Walmart to fix a price tailored specifically to your ability to pay.

Welcome to digital/programmable pricing. It can change in a minute based on how you present yourself to Walmart’s cameras.

Watch below:

This may seem eerily similar to the Chinese Communist Party’s social credit scoring system, which has been in place for the past few years. Walmart and Kroger are preparing to bring this system to America by the end of the year, and many of their competitors are likely to follow suit after they see how well it works to boost profits.

Walmart’s commitment to programmable-digital pricing is a striking example of the risk of public-private partnerships involving AI, and the betrayal of the federal government sharing data with corporations, which can then enforce government policy and prerogatives while parlaying the data into fatter profit margins.

If you have openly criticized the government’s Warp Speed promotion of unregulated AI and data centers, protested the Iran war, or some other government policy, your social credit score may give big-box retailers like Walmart reason to charge you higher prices than their more obedient customers. Get enough strikes against your account and you might be banned from buying anything at all in their stores.

Who benefits from this rigged dystopian setup? Walmart shareholders will definitely like it. Technocrats who need inflation to justify the transformation of America from a constitutional republic to a technocracy, will also cheer it on.

Walmart already has cameras installed in the self-checkout aisles, which scan the facial features of every customer. They are also capable of identifying you by your cellphone each time you go through to checkout. This explains why even people who pay in cash at Walmart sometimes get email communications from the company based on their buying habits.

Similarly, the home-improvement giant Lowe’s recently announced it has installed thousands of Flock cameras in the vicinity of its parking lots, while installing facial-recognition scanning systems inside its stores.

Were you aware that if you have any kind of online footprint, you likely already have a “digital twin” and how that could be useful to the algorithm-based technocratic surveillance state?

All this is set forth by professor Jon Padfield in an interview with Nate Polson of the Canadian Prepper podcast below. He also reveals the key role of the AI data centers being built across America and gives practical steps on how to opt out of the beast system.

The end game here is to rob you of your free will and deny you your humanity as an individual by herding you into various sets and subsets of the population that get scored by the AI algorithms. Based on your score, you get rewarded or punished by the government-corporate public-private partnerships that run the AI-based control grid in the American technocracy.

Remember, wherever you go, eyes are watching. This article only addresses one small component of the beast system, retail businesses. You will bump up against the system in so many other ways, with modern vehicles scooping up your driving data, with the insurance and healthcare system vacuuming up your physical data, with the banking system, you name it. It’s a system based on total information awareness. That’s why you can’t call this beast a Marxist. It’s much bigger than any Marxist system the world has ever seen.

It’s easy to point the finger at China and call them a totalitarian society while ignoring the fact that America is rapidly becoming just the same. China built its control grid largely in partnership with American companies, using American technology, and I believe it’s being used as a testing ground for further implementation here and around the world.

BOTTOM LINE: Everyone will have to make their own decisions on how best to unplug from the system, or whether to unplug at all. Is it time to boycott the big-box retailers who see no problem in sneakily introducing their part of the beast system that will ensnare and enslave millions of people?

Pray for discernment. Never comply. Question everything.

We’ve been told by the globalist power elites for years now that we will “own nothing and be happy,” but now they’ve taken that mantra to a new extreme.

Are you aware, for instance, that the federal government now considers it a crime for you to wipe your personal data from your personal cellphone?

All they have to do is say you were under investigation and that makes the phone erasure a federal crime. It’s a new interpretation of an old law.

An American citizen found out the hard way that this is the case, that once you check into an airport, you have no more rights to privacy, even to the point of your cellphone data.

The tech journal Gadget Review reports that a federal case in Atlanta is raising questions about a privacy-focused mobile phone app, with prosecutors arguing that its features were used to erase evidence. The U.S. Department of Justice is attempting to prosecute Atlanta resident Samuel Tunick under a federal statute that makes it a crime to destroy property in an effort to prevent it from being seized.

The case involves Tunick’s use of GrapheneOS, a perfectly legal, open-source operating system that works on Google Pixel phones and lets users enter a passcode to wipe a device clean.

Here’s how it went down:

• January 24, 2025: Customs and Border Patrol agents demanded Tunick’s phone and passcode at the border as he’d returned from a trip to the Dominican Republic and was stopped for questioning; he provided a code that allegedly wiped the device.

• Prosecutors charged him under 18 U.S.C. § 2232(a), a federal statute dating back to 1940 (last amended in 2000) designed for physical evidence destruction, like torching a warehouse before a raid.

• Tunick’s defense attorney could identify only one prior case using this statute in a remotely similar context, involving physical evidence in a drug trafficking matter.

• He has pleaded not guilty; the case remains ongoing as of July 2026. If convicted he could get up to five years in prison, plus a fine of $10,000.

Gadget Review writes:

Experts said the legal approach is unusual and may be the first time the law has been aimed at an operating system. “It’s concerning – and sends the message that [GrapheneOS] is criminal by default,” said Christophe Boutry, a cybersecurity and surveillance expert. Boutry and Bill Buddington, senior staff technologist at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, both said they had not seen a similar case.

According to court testimony, federal agents had already circulated Tunick’s name and photo internally, saying he was under investigation for “suspected terrorism activities” because of his alleged association with the movement against the Cop City police-training facility in Atlanta.

Guilt by association is now a crime in the eyes of the feds.

For those not familiar, Cop City is a massive training facility for the militarization of local police departments with funding from billionaires with ties to the state of Israel. That’s not a bad thing to be fighting against, but it’s enough to get you on a federal watchlist in America.

Notice they don’t say Mr. Tunick committed any terrorist acts. All they have on the guy is that he has communicated with Cop City activists in the past. They apparently knew this from monitoring his phone activity.

Runa Sandvik, founder of security consultancy Granitt, told Gadget Review:

“I have not seen this before, though I’ve discussed the potential scenario with activists and journalists over the years.”

CBP agents also asserted they needed no warrant because Tunick had not yet legally crossed the border — a position reflecting the government’s long-standing claim of broad search authority at ports of entry.

What This Means for Your Phone When You Travel

Sandvik’s advice for travelers isn’t reassuring. She told the tech journal: “With a little planning ahead of time, you can always download the data you need once you get to where you’re going.”

Practical approaches include:

• travel phones

• cloud-based workflows

• pre-departure wipes with post-arrival restores

The Electronic Frontier Foundation maintains similar guidance on protecting data at the border, emphasizing minimal local storage over in-situ countermeasures. Concerns about government access to devices have also fueled reports of apps secretly tracking users without consent.

The indictment itself reads like a warning shot aimed at anyone relying on privacy tools under pressure.

Gadget Review concludes:

“The Atlanta federal court’s ruling on the suppression motion is expected later this year. If the government’s theory survives, activating a built-in phone feature during a border search becomes criminal obstruction for every traveler carrying a locked device through U.S. Customs. That’s not a niche activist problem. That’s everyone’s problem.”

If the techno-fascists get their way, you will definitely own nothing in the new Amerika. Not your data, not your facial likeness, not your life or your thoughts. They claim title to all of it. And if you aren’t happy about it? Well, you can just spend some time in the D.C. gulag or some other hellhole as a designated thought criminal.

My advice is to stay away from airports unless you absolutely have to use one. This is not your grandfather’s America.

Last week President Trump told us in a post to his Truth Social account that AI data centers are going to make us all filthy rich. They are cash cows. Money makers. Tax reducers. Job creators, blah, blah, blah. Don’t fight against them, he said. You’re wasting your time. These massive data centers are “liquid gold” and are going to make so many people wealthy that you can’t stop them from being built, the brainwasher-in-chief said.

As he always does with every issue, Trump casts all those who hold an opposing view as Democrats. If you aren’t for what he wants, you must be a Democrat. Of course nothing could be further from the truth as the fight against data centers is one of the most non-partisan issues in America today. Nobody, regardless of political affiliation, is for higher electricity and water rates, draining the reservoirs and aquafers, destroying neighborhoods and property values with noise pollution, while contributing to an AI-powered surveillance state.

However, by casting those fighting these monstrosities as Democrats, Trump is attempting to keep the opposition to his AI free-for-all to a minimum, because no Republican wants to be called a Democrat. I don’t believe it will work, but he’s going to keep trying. Just like he said those pushing for the release of the Epstein files were all Democrats, and those against his disastrous war in Iran are Democrats, yada, yada, yada. Trump never mentions that his own sons, Don Jr. and Eric, are personally invested in the data center boom, as reported by Forbes in an article from Feb. 20, 2025.

Anyway, you get the point. Trump wants thousands more data centers and will tell any lie to get them. That was last week. This week we hear from another member of the billionaire brainwashing club, Elon Musk.

Kurt Cobb at Oilprice.com reports:

“Our tech overlords tell us that artificial intelligence will soon create a world of abundance while solving our major problems such as climate change. Just so you know who I’m talking about, I have previously defined our tech overlords as ‘a grab bag of technology companies, technology scientists and inventors, and technology investors and journalists who have bewitched the modern world through inventions that speed up our daily lives without necessarily making them better.’

“In a recent interview with The Economist magazine, tech overlord-in-chief Elon Musk explained that ‘[i]f you have vast numbers of robots with vast amounts of digital intelligence, you have a sort of a quasi-infinite economy.’ In such an economy, ‘anyone can have anything they think of.’ He added that ‘money won’t matter in 2036’ because everyone will have a high income without working. This is a Star Trek version of the future, he explained.”

Cobb goes on to point out that Musk’s views exemplify the tech industry fantasy of a push-button, voice-activated future world of abundance portrayed in the Star Trek television series and movies. In that fictional series, poverty has been eliminated, people do not need money, and everything they want or need is available to them.

Here’s the critical component of this fantasyland being promoted by the likes of Trump, Musk, Sam Altman, Larry Ellison and the rest of Trump’s technocrat cronies: Cobb notes that in 10 years, “AI will be running the world without humans. If that happens, …how will companies make money? How will they even exist? Musk has no answer.”

And that leads to a second question: How will people get money to buy the things they need from a government that is $40 trillion in debt in an economy poised for a crash?

AI critic Ed Zitron asks AI boosters to explain what current AI models are capable of doing right now without using the word “will.” They have little they can point to.

Nothing current AI models can do remotely fits this view of a fantasyland populated by rich folks who no longer need to work.

Cobb writes:

“Those models—called Large Language Models (LLMs)—produce so many errors that handing over mission-critical systems across the economy to AI as suggested by Musk would almost certainly create catastrophe rather than prosperity. The problem of so-called ‘hallucinations’ is an inherent feature of the way LLMs operate and cannot be eliminated. And the kind of intelligence needed to run most mission-critical systems, that is human intelligence, simply isn’t achievable with LLMs.”

It’s slowly becoming obvious that the most realistic applications for AI are for state-sponsored surveillance, using tools such as Flock and Axon cameras and creating military kill lists, with the killings themselves being carried out by AI drones and robots.

Since the U.S. government has killed more people in wars than probably any other government on the planet over the last 30 years (over 1 million in Iraq and Afghanistan alone), it makes sense that it would need the most AI computing power for future wars. Ultimately, I believe America’s high-tech killing machine will be turned against its own citizens. This may be the real reason for so many data centers on U.S. soil. The U.S. already has about 5,400 AI data centers, about five times as many as you will find in China and 25 times as many as in Russia. The U.S. wants at least another 3,000, for a total of nearly 9,000 AI data centers.

“Governments seem ready to pay the high cost of AI in order to obtain better surveillance of citizens and more effective weapons. That such systems will inevitably make many mistakes seems not very consequential to the governments that use them,” Cobb writes.

This is borne out by the fact that Israel’s IDF uses an AI-powered software system called Lavender to create kill lists in Gaza, and the IDF admits this system has an error rate of about 10 percent. And the government is OK with that frightful ratio. The notion that 90 percent of its killings in Gaza are seen as legitimate and 10 percent are carried out against completely innocent and undeserving Gazans is of no consequence to the government.

Ukraine is using similar technology in its war with Russia, while unleashing swarms of AI-powered autonomous killer drones.

How would you like it if your local police department created lists of people to arrest for capital crimes, the punishment for which is death, while admitting that 10 percent of those caught up in the dragnet never committed any crime? Oh well. Off to the electric chair. Too bad, so sad.

This is a real fear given the fact that military technology often ends up in the hands of civilian law enforcement years after it has been rolled out on battlefields.

Cobb concludes:

“Businesses and consumers may be finding some benefit to using AI, especially for enhanced searching on the internet. But the true costs of such limited benefits are many, many times what they are currently paying. And given the way AI works, that is, requiring additional data center capacity for each new user, there are really no economies of scale that will bring down costs. Simply said, each new user costs the AI provider more money. AI as it is currently conceived is unlikely to be profitable except for niche users who find its output worth paying the true costs for.

“The tech overloads have been singing the same tune for years: Trust us, sit back, and let us take you into an ever-grander techno-utopian future. New claims that AI will be the vector for this future are part of a propaganda campaign designed to keep you from having a say about AI and its uses. Fortunately, many communities are saying that they do not want to bear the costs and disruptions of new data centers associated with the AI build-out. That concern needs to be extended to the uses and abuses of AI itself.”

In this inverted reality, orchestrated by high-level chaos magicians in the political and corporate realms, we find everything is upside down. Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the mainstream media destroy truthful information, religions destroy spirituality, truth is called lies, slavery is called freedom, war is called peace, and so many are walking among us under the spell of the billionaire brainwashers. Judging by their compliance with the insane Covid mandates, I would estimate that 75 to 80 percent of the American population is effectively mind controlled. Walking zombies. Those still in possession of their critical-thinking skills are now cast as “anti-technology extremists” by the FBI and U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which sees us as a “threat” worthy of being placed on government watchlists, according to a May 26, 2026 report by Wired magazine.

And the snake oil salesmen of technocracy are laughing all the way to the bank.

Mike Adams, who owns the Brighteon.com news site and is a published food scientist, says 2027 and 2028 will be marked by widespread famine and starvation, especially in the Global South.

He says at least 400 million people are at risk of starvation, about 5 percent of the total human population of 8 billion people.

In the U.S., food prices will skyrocket and more people will go hungry but we won’t see widespread famine. The bad news is, we will have tens of millions of starving migrants trying to get into the U.S. and other countries such as Canada and Europe that are seen as wealthy and more likely to have food.

He said the only reason the world can sustain its current population of 8 billion is the advent of synthetic fertilizers, which were developed by German scientists in the first half of the 20th century. Without those fertilizers, a global population of only about 2 to 4 billion people could be sustained longterm.

“All of humanity is at some level of risk. Trump and Hegseth need to leave the region (of the Middle East) now, before we lose tens of millions of people,” Adams said in a July 25 interview with Lt. Col. Daniel Davis of the Daniel Davis Deep Dive podcast.

I have reported similar concerns about how the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, the Bab El Mandeb Strait and other vital trade choke points are going to cause major famine starting in 2027. Those choke points were all open before Trump started the war with Iran on Feb. 28. The longer they stay closed, the worse the situation gets.

Last night the Houthis bombed the Saudi Aramco oil facilities in Saudi Arabia. That’s not a good sign of where things are heading.

And while Trump may want to find a way out of the war he started, that’s going to be easier said than done. Thanks to Trump, Iran has been made stronger now, having discovered that it’s not that difficult to close down the Strait of Hormuz and keep it closed, disrupting the flow of 20 percent of the world’s oil and around 30 percent of the world’s fertilizers. As long as Trump is punishing them with bombs, they will punish the world by choking off the major trade route.

This economic catastrophe and food insecurity, as I reported in my July 23 article, is going to be blamed on America and its primary Middle East ally, Israel. These two countries will be hated even more than they already are once people can’t get food for their children. There is no stronger motivating force than human hunger and we are going to start seeing the global blowback against Trump and America by spring of 2027, so prepare accordingly. World War III is only going to intensify.

Adams breaks it all down and what it means for Americans and the world going forward in an interview with Lt. Col. Daniel Davis (retired):

Some have been arrested for speaking a few seconds after their allotted time.

Others have been escorted out of council chambers.

Even more common is for people’s elected representatives to ignore them while they are speaking, kind of like a mother whose kids won’t stop talking and by the end of the day she’s simply tuned them out. That’s how hardworking, taxpaying American citizens are being treated by those they elected to local government offices.

If you even get them to respond to a question, you are lucky.

You can find dozens of these videos all over the internet.

One of my favorites is of a female resident of Tyrone County, Michigan, who confronted each one of her city council representatives at a public council meeting with a well-prepared question. It shows how all it takes is a single que…

The Trump administration is getting a hard lesson on the essence of that old adage: Paybacks can be a b----!

After more than four years of the U.S. funding and supplying Ukraine and using that country as a battering ram to weaken Russia, the regime in Washington has allowed itself to be weakened by Russia in the same way.

While Ukraine is serving the role of America’s proxy against Russia, Iran has emerged as Russia’s proxy against America.

There is now evidence that Russia, and likely China too, are funneling weapons and intelligence to the Iranians.

Russia in particular has found the perfect opportunity to get back at Trump for double-crossing him on the Ukraine war. Trump bragged that he would end the Russia-Ukraine war with a simple phone call within “24 hours” of taking office. And he could have made good on that campaign promise simply by telling Vladamir Zelensky that the gig was up, the funds…

The land invasion could come from a solely American military force or it could come from mostly foreign troops, perhaps the Kurds. But either way, it will still be planned in the inner rooms of the Pentagon, it will be led by U.S. special ops, and make use of U.S. intelligence. So when this invasion is ultimately crushed by the Iranians it will be a massive blow to U.S. credibility and perceived American power around the world. Some members of Iran’s government have gone on record saying they actually would welcome a U.S. ground invasion, because they have been planning for such an attack for 40-plus years and are ready for it.

Iran’s vast size and the fact that it’s blessed with amazing g…

Because Trump has a monster ego, he will likely walk into Iran’s trap.

According to multiple media outlets, Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis declared today, July 20, an immediate naval blockade on Saudi Arabia.

This brings the U.S./Israel-Iran war officially to the southern entrance of the Red Sea, shutting down an export route through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait used by the Saudis to bypass disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.

Oil that was being rerouted from the Strait of Hormuz into the Red Sea and up through the Suez Canal in Egypt will now be cut off if Yemen is able to make good on its stated mission. This will wreck the Egyptian economy, possibly drawing that country into the war against Iran.

Today’s announcement is essentially the Houthis joining the war against…

The Trump administration is making lots of money for the military-industrial complex.

President Trump has kept the war in Ukraine-Russia going by continuing to fund, supply and provide intelligence to one side in that conflict, Ukraine, while encouraging it to expand the war by using U.S. missiles and targeting systems to strike deep inside Russian territory.

Not only has Trump continued funding Ukraine’s war with Russia, but he is now on round four of bombing Iran “into the stone ages,” as he likes to say.

But the self-proclaimed “peace president” is waging other silent wars against countries far off the radar of most Americans.

Case in point: Somalia.

Remember the 2001 Hollywood movie Blackhawk Down, which retold what we were supposed to believe was a true story of American heroism that supposedly took place in that country back in 1993? Some of it might have been true, but I digress.

My point today is that America is still fighting that war, albeit in different ways and with much more …

While I agree with the sentiment that it’s generally never a good policy to denigrate the dead, you also don’t need to celebrate their life and tell everyone what a great person they were. Not when they advocated the killing of women and children on a mass scale and never could get enough of it over a period of decades, right up to the last days before he died.

I’m going to be blunt. There are lots of terrible people in the world. Lindsey Graham was not just a terrible person.

Terrible people lie, cheat and steal. Lindsey Graham was in a whole other category. He actually reveled in the deaths of innocent people and was constantly lobbying for more of said carnage. That’s a special kind of evil that’s hard to understand.

I reject everything Lindsey Graham stood for in terms of how America should conduct itself in matters of foreign policy.

He was the ultimate warmonger but, again, it’s worse than that. Graham was about more than just…
