Then in 2006 as a proxy invasion, when Washington backed Ethiopian forces in toppling the Islamic Courts Union, a coalition that had actually managed to suppress piracy and unify Mogadishu under something resembling order, produced the very insurgency the Pentagon now spends nine figures a year trying to bomb into submission. Al-Shabaab was not an inheritance. It was a creation, spawned out of a militant offshoot of a government the US helped destroy, its first suicide bombing aimed squarely at the foreign troops occupying its capital. That origin story matters, because it suggests a policy pattern that has repeated with grim consistency across the region: intervention produces radicalization, radicalization produces more intervention, and the cycle compounds rather than getting resolved.

Three decades and eighty-four strikes into a war...
Editor's note: ...that predates most enlisted service members currently fighting it, the US finds itself locked into a Somali counterterrorism campaign with no visible endpoint, no public accounting of its human cost, and an enemy that keeps multiplying rather than shrinking. Remember the humanitarian mission to protect famine relief in Somalia, but spiraled into the October 1993 Battle of Mogadishu, where a raid meant to capture a warlord turned into a brutal urban firefight that killed 18 American soldiers? That is how long this has been going on with US involvement in Somalia. Somalia sees roughly 8,000-9,000 violent deaths a year in total, about 900-1,100 from ordinary homicide and roughly 7,000+ from armed conflict (al-Shabab attacks, clan violence, and military operations). The place is a Jihad factory.
A US supplied F15 to Saudi Arabia was...
Editor's note: ...shot down by desert dwelling men in sandals who are fearless. This must mean the Saudi kingdom requires more weapons to continue waging war on Yemen. The stakes are high especially the stock portfolios for anyone holding General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems (GD) and McAlester Army Ammunition Plant (MCAP) stocks plus dividends. Creating debt based fiat currency out of nothing shouldn't be any problem as the Pentagon "tells" the US congress the "war on Iran" has blown through $42 billion. Suffice it to say, the U.S. Department of State acting as the front sales office for weapon sales deals just approved a big sale. Break open the champagne, let's celebrate. Maybe we're thinking about this the wrong way? Think of the 40,000 Mark 84 and Blu-117 (a thermally stable PBXN-109 explosive) 2,000-pound bombs slated for Israel as "excavating equipment?" After all, the "war on Iran" is part of the taxpayer shakedown of the Global Business Network (GBN).

Tucker Carlson Sounds Alarm Over Trump's Planned 'Largest Transfer Of Ordinance In Modern History'
By Zero Hedge | September 16, 2026
After the US was essentially forced to conduct a major and rapid draw down of forces from the Gulf and Mideast region in the wake of Iran's 'unexpectedly' large retaliation for Operation Epic Fury, it seems all that Washington is left to do is arm regional allies to the teeth and wish them the best.
Early this month the US approved two potential Saudi defense packages valued at a whopping $5.75 billion. The forthcoming deals will reportedly focus on transferring extended-range precision bombs and bolstering Abrams tanks in the kingdom.

Here is what a falsified...
Editor's note: ...$190 million a day will buy Ukraine: An estimated well over 2 million dead, missing and seriously disfigured Ukrainian soldiers. The City of London's Neocon war provocateur Boris Johnson is back at it again, issuing a statement about confiscating Russian assets held in Belgian banks to "rebuild Ukraine's air defenses." Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk seems ready to take on Russia as he announced, "Poland and NATO intend to bring Russia to its knees in 42 days." Poland's Tusk continues with the old and tired out claim Russia is "attacking" NATO countries. What is Boris Johnson's piece of the financial pie and why is he spending so much time in Kiev? Ukraine is a terrorist™ state and that is what the British do ever so well. And no, contrary to British "experts" that Russian drone did not target Johnson. And who launched the drone? Ukrainian terrorists?
What a travesty against the American people.
Editor's note: The 84 year-old Mitch McConnell really does need to be removed from office. And while Americans are at it, especially the Americans who live in Kentucky, they need to be reimbursed for the $43,500 in government salary for the three months he didn't show up for work. Why wait until 2027? The US senate can expel him with a two-thirds vote. Mitch McConnell's four-decade Senate tenure makes him the longest-serving party leader in U.S. history and shows exactly why term limits are urgently needed: no elected official should be able to entrench themselves in power for generations while the political system built around their incumbency makes real accountability impossible.

Federal prosecutors charged three people...
Editor's note: ...for paying Skid Row's homeless cash, cigarettes, and drugs to forge ballot-petition signatures using stolen voter identities, with one operator netting over $41,000, while similar schemes paid the same vulnerable population for fraudulent voter registrations under false addresses. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has refused to testify before a House committee investigating alleged fraud and waste at the city's Homeless Services Authority, which received more than $1 billion in federal funds even as homelessness doubled. Californians will be satisfied only when these criminals and Karen Bass too are in handcuffs. Such coordinated, multi-person schemes involving identity theft, forgery, and payments to vulnerable individuals over months can constitute a pattern of racketeering activity under federal RICO laws when tied to an organized enterprise.

Russia is the world's richest country in terms of natural resources.
Editor's note: Britain and Europe are preparing for a war against Russia. European central banks need Russia's resources to underwrite their sovereign debt crisis. In response, Russia is reviving military academies like the Chelyabinsk Tank School, arguing this proves tanks aren't obsolete. In comparison, Western-style ROTC/generalist officer training is inadequate for modern warfare, unlike Russia's specialized academy model. What the West doesn't seem to undertand is that Russia is a militarized state.

This is a global war...
Editor's note: ...and that means YOU need to rethink your relationship to the state, to corporations, to banks and to your neighbors. Earth is undergoing a "birth process" into a new energetic reality, causing perceptual glitches like altered colors, warped time, shifting roads/landscapes, and long-extinct species or lost memories reappearing. The resulting anxiety as resistance to change, advising readers to stay calm, rest, and "align" with the transition instead of fighting it.

CITIZEN MILITIAS: It's time!
August 30, 2026 | By SOTN
KEY DATA POINT: The United States has 3,144 counties and county equivalents across the 50 states and the District of Columbia (or 3,244 if you include U.S. territories).SOTN Editor's Note: In the absence of an overwhelming act of direct divine intervention such as a Carrington Event 2.0 on super steroids, there is now very little the American people can do to escape the fate that has been planned by the NWO globalists and their many treasonous Deep State co-conspirators to collapse the Republic. Especially in view of the rapidly unfolding 4th Fourth Turning, the best We the People can do is to take back our power before, during and/or after the wreck and ruin has gone its full course.
Saudi Arabia's oil production fell...
Editor's note: ...sharply in August, dropping by 1.9 million barrels per day to 6.238 million barrels per day, the lowest level since 1990 and below even the wartime low seen earlier this year. Exports have also slumped, falling to around 3.1 million barrels per day, the lowest in more than a decade, as the Iran conflict and renewed Houthi threats disrupt key shipping routes. Armstrong Economics points out that this matters because "Saudi government revenue depends on price times volume, not price alone", so even with Brent above $100 a barrel, a steep drop in output combined with rising military and shipping costs is straining Saudi finances, which were already running large deficits. It warns this squeeze extends across the Gulf's debt-dependent economies and could ripple into global inflation and sovereign debt pressures. What does Armstrong Economics recommend?

Solving 9-11, The Deception That Changed The World by Christopher Bollyn
Editor's note: Alex de Tocqueville described regime de la terreur as a methodology to make the masses familiar with the realities created by elites.
The extremes the terrorist™ regime will go to...
Editor's note: ...in Kiev have reached the point now where thugs and operatives are being hired out to murder foreign diplomats to provoke a larger war. Voltaire Network published an article on September 9, 2026 claiming neoconservative "Straussians" now backed by Europe are sabotaging US-Russia peace efforts, and that CIA Director John Ratcliffe traveled to Moscow to negotiate an end to the war. On Russia's terms, the 2022 SMO into Ukraine to "de-Nazify" the place was legally justified under a UN resolution tied to the Minsk agreements, and brands Zelensky a "constitutional usurper" whose term expired in May 2024. Trump envoys Witkoff and Kushner are negotiating with Moscow while pushing Europe, not US taxpayers, to foot the bill for Biden-era weapons, and Voltaire references the "Midas" and "Forrest Gump" corruption scandals engulfing Keiv officials. Considering these links to the Straussians and Chief Rabbi Jonathan Markowicz in Ukraine implicated in Voltaire's article as "supporting white-collar criminals in Ukraine" (if Judaism is "Satanism" what do the Satanists know the rest of us don't?), who was actually behind the plot to murder the British Ambassador to Ukraine Nigel Casey? Speculation but why do fingers consistently point to Israel?

Moral Advice From a Machine

On What We Traded Away
There is a version of a man that used to exist in our stories, our churches, our bloodied battlefields, and our living rooms, who did the right thing simply because it was right. He did not do it for a government paycheck, a payoff or a bonus. He did not do it for a promotion, a brand, a following, a quarterly report, or a shareholder meeting. He did it because some part of him understood that his worth and value as a human being was not for sale. As the saying goes "rare is the philosophical man who is good at making money."
I think we have lost sight of that man. Not because he disappeared, but because we stopped telling his story, and we started telling a different one instead. The new story says that value is a number. It says that "a life well lived is a life well monetized." And once that idea gets into the water supply, it contaminates everything a man builds, including the machines he is now building in his own image.

Editor's note: Repudiation of debt means war. The Pentagon's new recruiting tool: We will forgive all of your debt just sign up for x number of years of military service. The debt gets repudiated, you get killed and the central banks continue creating more debt based fiat currency out of nothing this time in the form of electronic blips. Then the next move will be in order to control those electronic blips so that everyone behaves like good little boys and girls, they're going to create the space force and give them appropriate Nazi SS style uniforms (starship troopers) with the ability to spy on everyone from outer space. Give them hip uniforms, elevate them to a higher level in the hierarchy by creating a new elite and that is a formula for a new army, the elimination of debt and off we go to our technocratic future as the current US military is slowly dissipated slated for the dust bin of history. Asset stripping continues and your children are going to be sent off to a war again. The Praetorians need a war and to get to that point an assassination is required.

The State Spins a New Idea for Recruiting in an Age of War
By Karen Kwiatkowski | September 7, 2026
Have you ever watched cars in motion and thought the wheel spokes were rotating backwards? It's the stroboscopic effect that occurs when we sample reality at an inappropriate frequency, making the unreal appear absolutely real. Similarly, an illusion of self motion can make us feel like we are moving when we are not, and not moving when we are.

The Hubris of the Fabians: How a Failed Humanist Project Learned to Rule Instead of Reason
Editor's note: This is our third post examining the British Fabian socialists in an attempt to expose them and to dispose of them, following two previous posts, here and here, on this critical subject tracing their origins and broader global reach. We now turn our attention to their documented influence on Australia's Labor governments. The Australian Fabian Society, formed on the model of the original British Fabian Society and maintaining ties to it, has shaped government primarily through the Australian Labor Party (ALP) rather than through public service directly. Numerous ALP prime ministers, ministers and premiers were active Fabians while in office, including Whitlam, Hawke, Keating, Gillard, Hayden, Wran, Cain and Dunstan, and current figures such as Anthony Albanese and Penny Wong have continued to engage with the society. The clearest documented case of policy impact is Gough Whitlam's 1972 platform, which expanded federal responsibility for education, health (Australia's Covid lockdowns and mandated injections were brutal) and welfare and drew directly on roughly two decades of Fabian research shaped by British Fabian thinking.
The London School of Economics (LSE), founded by the British Fabians in 1895 to train the administrators of the future, has educated generations of Australian economists and public servants who went on to hold senior roles in federal government, a documented pipeline that even mainstream historians acknowledge, though how much of the resulting policy consensus reflects deliberate Fabian design versus ordinary elite academic influence remains debated. In short, solid evidence exists of British Fabian influence on Australian Labor governments and specific policies through their local counterpart, especially under Whitlam.

The last thing in the world the globalists would tolerate...
Editor's note: ...would be German engineering capabilities tied to Russia's vast resources. The world would be taken to war to prevent this from happening. What else could possibly explain the vehement hatred of Russia by the west and that includes Europe? There are indications that Germany's AfD political party has ties to Russian financial sources. The AfD's pro-Russia positioning reflects both genuine political conviction and separate, more serious allegations. On conviction: figures like AfD's foreign-policy spokesman Markus Frohnmaier have attended Russian state economic forums and met Kremlin-linked officials, and party leader Alexander Gauland met Russian ideologue Alexander Dugin in 2015, part of a real ideological drift toward Eurasianist, anti-Western positions since 2022, rooted in skepticism of NATO and opposition to continued Ukraine aid, which the party frames as costly and against German interests.
Frohnmaier married Daria Tsoy, a Russian journalist who wrote the pro-Kremlin Izvestiya story about him and his AfD colleague, less than a year after the April 2017 Russian strategy document and campaign support letter, which described securing him as "our own absolutely controlled MP," were drafted. On allegations: Petr Bystron faces money-laundering prosecution over alleged payments tied to a Kremlin-linked propaganda outlet and leaked documents show Russian officials deliberately cultivated AfD's Frohnmaier as a Bundestag candidate as early as 2017. These are prosecutorial and documentary matters, distinct from ordinary policy disagreement, and most remain pre-trial or under investigation.
The following mentioned works build resistance...
Editor's note: ...to state and media propaganda in different ways because most people are likely plugged into a permanent state of "negative default programming" and know no other alternative. Orwell's Politics and the English Language and 1984, along with Klemperer's The Language of the Third Reich, train readers to catch manipulation at the level of individual words: euphemism, passive voice, slogans built to be repeated rather than examined. Miłosz's The Captive Mind and Levi's survivor writings show how intelligent people get absorbed into propagandized systems, guarding against the assumption that education alone makes someone immune. Arendt's Origins of Totalitarianism and Snyder's On Tyranny explain how ideology replaces reasoning with a closed system that explains everything, so readers learn to notice when an explanation feels too complete. Andrew Łobaczewski's Political Ponerology discusses how psychopaths and other clinically disordered individuals who systematically rise to power during social crises and reshape entire political systems into "pathocracies" that normalize their disordered worldview as ideology. Satire like Swift's A Modest Proposal and Zamyatin's We sharpens the ability to spot rhetorical excess dressed as reasonable logic. Novels with unreliable narrators, such as Ishiguro's The Remains of the Day and Nabokov's Pale Fire, build the habit of cross-checking claims against outside evidence. Poets like Szymborska and Akhmatova, writing under totalitarian conditions, model language that resists collapsing into slogans. Together, this reading trains attention to language, memory of how manipulation actually unfolds, and a working habit of doubt, the tools needed to recognize propaganda rather than simply be told it exists.
