Doublespeak gives both sides a hint that it will go their way: Trump 'Sort Of Made A Decision' On Tomahawks To Ukraine
President Donald Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that he has "sort of made a decision" concerning the ultra-controversial question of selling and transferring long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, via intermediary countries in NATO. But then he added the crucial caveat that he first wants to know what the Ukrainians plan to do with the Tomahawks. "Where they are sending them, I guess I will have to ask that question. I would ask some questions," he posed. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/watch-trump-sort-made-decision-giving-tomahawks-ukraine

Head-fake? Can we even hope? Momentum From Trump-Putin Talks In Alaska Has Run Out: Kremlin
Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov has stated bluntly that this momentum has now run out. His fresh words indicated Moscow's point of view that positive advancement toward peace and good-will was "largely exhausted". According to Ryabkov, the "strong drive" to reach a resolution to the Ukraine conflict was undermined by Russia's adversaries especially in Europe, which are currently "pushing for a war to the last Ukrainian." https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/positive-momentum-trump-putin-talks-alaska-has-run-out-kremlin
"The opinion, which was produced by the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel and has not been previously reported, argues that the president is allowed to authorize deadly force against a broad range of cartels because they pose an imminent threat to Americans," CNN reports. "The list of cartels goes beyond those the administration has publicly designated as terrorist organizations, the people familiar with the opinion said."
It essentially gives the US carte blanche for an open-ended war against these groups on the secret list, which hearkens back in parallel to the Obama years of secret drone wars in the Middle East, particularly Yemen. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/trump-calls-diplomacy-maduro-secret-doj-approved-kill-list-revealed

Israel’s delegation also departed for Sharm El-Sheikh on Sunday night, even as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was still attempting to keep his right-wing coalition allies on board with Trump’s ambitious 20-point plan and prevent them from jumping ship and bringing down his coalition. Still, opposition leader Yair Lapid has promised Netanyahu a “safety net” to prevent his government from falling in any Knesset vote as a consequence of the prime minister advancing the deal.
Disapproval within Netanyahu’s coalition is not the only obstacle to reaching an agreement: Hamas has said it is prepared to release the hostages it is holding, subject to certain conditions, but is expected to make additional demands, including as regards the Israeli military’s withdrawal from the Strip and the release of Palestinian security prisoners in exchange for the hostages. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/back-square-one-hamas-israelis-meet-egypt-hash-out-trump-peace-plan
Look at what happened before October 7 and you’ll see year after year of murder, oppression and abuse.
Look at everything that’s happened since October 7 and you’ll understand the kind of sadistic, psychopathic regime the Palestinians have been living under this entire time.
Israel supporters don’t want you looking at what happened before October 7, and they don’t want you looking at anything that’s happened since. They just want you to pretend history began and ended with a bunch of Hitlerite savages attacking innocent Jews for no reason.
And they don’t even want you looking at the day of October 7 too closely, either. Looking too closely at the events of that day bring up inconvenient questions about the Hannibal Directive and what percentage of the death toll was actually caused by the IDF firing on their own people. Inconvenient questions about the suspicious stock trading in the lead-up to the attack and the mountains upon mountains upon mountains of evidence that high-level Israeli officials allowed the attack to proceed undefended in order to advance the genocidal land grab we’re seeing advanced now. https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/everything-before-and-after-october Look at everything that’s happened since October 7 and you’ll understand the kind of sadistic, psychopathic regime the Palestinians have been living under this entire time.

This silent revolution is not being fought with bullets and banners, but with standards, algorithms, and financial regulations — quietly implemented, much in line with that stated in Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars.
The goal is not to violently overthrow parliaments, but to quietly make them obsolete, replacing them with a global, technological system of governance.

Technocracy has always had the domination of man and mind, even from its inception in Columbia University in 1932. As technology advanced, it has been commenteered at every turn to support its stated purposes of the science of social engineering, number one, the abolition of private property, number two, scientific dictatorship, number three, and the capture of all resources, including people, among others.
For the first time in history, technocracy has been wrapped in a political ideology and a religious system as well, and now it seeks to escape the boundaries of the United States. In other words, the new and expanded goal of technocracy is to build empire throughout the world using AI and cryptos, blockchain technology, as weapons of mass subjugation.
This presentation will examine the first nine months of the Trump administration to assess how this plan is being implemented and what to consider going forward.....This is from... The Technocrat Magazine, the official publication of Technocracy, 1937, they said, "Technocracy is the science of social engineering, the scientific operation of the entire social mechanism to produce and distribute goods and services to the entire population.
For the first time in human history, it'll be done as a scientific, technical engineering problem." Period. End of subject.
For the first time in human history, it'll be done as a scientific, technical engineering problem." Period. End of subject.
"Furthermore, there will be no place for politics, politicians, finance or financiers, rackets or racketeers. Technocracy will distribute by means of certificate of distribution available to every citizen from birth to death."
It's important to realize that technocracy wants to remove the political system altogether...
..Technocracy in 1930s made seven requirements. These are all seen in the technocracy study course. You can go find that on the internet. It's been scanned and there's good copies. And three of those seven requirements are as follows. Provide a continuous inventory of all production and consumption.It's important to realize that technocracy wants to remove the political system altogether...

..These are the people that are driving the digital state. No question about it. They're betraying the MAGA movement and the populist movement in America. They're guided by this philosophy called the dark enlightenment,
which we're not going to talk about today. I won't in any case, but their intent is to destroy America, but good.
which we're not going to talk about today. I won't in any case, but their intent is to destroy America, but good.
So we're just going to look now at this video of Larry Ellison telling you what he thinks should be happening in America and around the world. Let's take a listen to this:
"When you come to government and what government's doing, obviously there are artificial intelligence tools and some of them I know that Oracle have developed around financial management for government. But also, tell us a bit about what, because you're right at the forefront of this revolution,
what it means for what government should do in terms of its digital infrastructure, digital ID, data centers, and so on. How do you take advantage of these incredible AI models?"
"When you come to government and what government's doing, obviously there are artificial intelligence tools and some of them I know that Oracle have developed around financial management for government. But also, tell us a bit about what, because you're right at the forefront of this revolution,
what it means for what government should do in terms of its digital infrastructure, digital ID, data centers, and so on. How do you take advantage of these incredible AI models?"
Ellison: "And the first thing a country needs to do is to unify all of their data so it can be consumed and used by the AI model.
You have to take all of your health care data, your diagnostic data, your electronic health records, your genomic data. And in the Middle East, in the UAE, for example, they are incredibly rich in data. They have a lot of population data. The NHS in the UK has an incredible amount of population data. But it's fragmented. It's not easily accessible by these AI models.

And in the Middle East, in the UAE, for example, they are incredibly rich in data. They have a lot of population data. The NHS in the UK has an incredible amount of population data. But it's fragmented. It's not easily accessible by these AI models.
We have to take all of this data we have in our country and move it into a single, if you will, unified data platform. So we provide context. When we want to ask a question, We've provided that AI model with all the data they need to understand our country. So that's the big step. That's kind of the missing link. We need to unify all of the national data, put it into a database where it's easily consumable by the AI model, and then ask whatever question you like. So you're really, through the use of this, you're revolutionizing the way government works."
That's the idea. Move all data into a unified platform. What data? Well, for one, all health care data, all diagnostic data that would include health data as well as societal information, all health records, all financial records data, all population data. There's a lot of data, for instance, in the annals of Washington DC about Medicare, about tax records, et cetera. All genomic data, that speaks of DNA, by the way...
..And they fed them into the machine, if you will. Then they were spread to the whole system. So the data assault itself was orchestrated by Musk and Thiel, and they used shock and awe to spring the data immediately. You might remember all of the fights that took place when the Doge teams would show That's the idea. Move all data into a unified platform. What data? Well, for one, all health care data, all diagnostic data that would include health data as well as societal information, all health records, all financial records data, all population data. There's a lot of data, for instance, in the annals of Washington DC about Medicare, about tax records, et cetera. All genomic data, that speaks of DNA, by the way...

There was cries of agony going on in these agencies, especially the IRS, especially the Medicare, Medicare health organization. They said, this is basically, you're stealing our data from us.
Then, magically, government workers started to get sacked, seemingly indiscriminately. But this is according to this doctrine called rage, replace all government employees. That was part of the philosophy, by the way, that went along with Peter Thiel...
..So we have to have AI now to monitor everything and create agents and departments based on AI. This has happened already before your nose. This was the secret goal of Doge in the first place. It was never revealed to the public that way. But now we know exactly what's happened. We can see the strategy that was employed to be taking over all of the data. Then, not suspiciously, but it figures that President Trump called in Palantir... Peter Thiel, and Alex Karp, the CEO of Palantir, And specifically, Palantir was awarded a $319 million contract to roll all this data up that was previously freed by the Doge teams.
This was the purpose of Doge. They were a conduit. They took all these streams of data and they put them into the cloud so Palantir could have access to it.
This was the purpose of Doge. They were a conduit. They took all these streams of data and they put them into the cloud so Palantir could have access to it.
So we can now talk about the hijacking of the monetary system as well, because this is an important cog in the scientific dictatorship idea.
It was never about preventing the Fed from issuing CBCDs, not at all. Executive Order 14178 says banning central bank digital currencies altogether. The stable and genius acts were passed. Then a privatized payment system based on stable coins was erected.
A privatized asset system based on tokenization was erected. Oh, and then we saw talk about the 680 million acres owned by the federal government. All the mineral rights, all the produce of that land. That's a huge asset. It's held in trust, supposedly, for the American people. But all of a sudden, something happens here.It was never about preventing the Fed from issuing CBCDs, not at all. Executive Order 14178 says banning central bank digital currencies altogether. The stable and genius acts were passed. Then a privatized payment system based on stable coins was erected.
The reason that the central bank digital currencies had to be sidelined because the Fed only concerned itself about moving money around the world. It never had in view tokenization of assets. The Fed couldn't do that. Not in a million years. It's not in their charter.
They were always concerned about payment tokens, if you will, payment-oriented crypto, and that didn't have this other capability of tokenizing assets... So all of a sudden, all minerals, timber, water, and animals, at least on 680 million acres of land. That's a lot of land. Wow. All gold owned by the Treasury... That potentially results in an asset-based economy with no debt... We have to understand now that Howard Lutnick, the Secretary of Commerce, has been lusting publicly over the national resources that we have. I want you to just connect the dots here. The Federal Reserve could not do this, but now they can do it if they have a privatized asset-based tokenization process to do it...
..680 million acres on the chopping block to be digitized by who? By companies basically that Howard Lutnick and his family have a majority interest in. You can't make this stuff up. These people have taken over our country. The technocrats have taken over our country at this point. So let's look at the action plan going forward. The action plan was released in July, 2025. on the whitehouse.gov website, no less. It's called Winning the Race, America's AI Action Plan. You can look it up on the whitehouse.gov website... So we know who wrote this document. It was arch technocrats, not Congress, not the president. but these arch technocrats who are dedicated at this point to overthrowing America for good and for all...
..But now the technocrats, the arch technocrats, America is not enough for them. They want the whole world.
Pillar one talks about accelerating AI and innovation.
Pillar two talks about building AI infrastructure. And we see that basically one and two speak about programs like Project Stargate. You saw this in the first part of the administration. where President Trump got up with Larry Ellison, one of Ellison's few public appearances. Sam Altman was there as well. And, you know, they basically said, the president said, I'm going to wipe away all of the regulations that will prevent you from doing this project to build AI. But then, pillar three. Lead in international AI diplomacy and security. This is really stunning to me because it speaks of building empire... Export American AI to allies and partners around the world,... counter Chinese influence in international governance bodies we can see that too strengthen ai compute export control enforcement they want to keep control of all the AI, plug the export loopholes in existing semiconductor manufacturing export controls... They want to align protection measures globally. They want to ensure that U.S. government is at the forefront of evaluating national security risk in frontier models. So basically the idea of... exporting all of this stuff to the world is to maintain control over it...
..Probably the most industrialized part of the world, they'll adopt it in a heartbeat because they have to have America on their side. So the conclusion here is building world empire, world empire on the backs of digital slaves. We're the slaves, by the way, if you haven't already figured that out. People like Elon Musk, Larry Ellison, Peter Thiel, Michael Krasius, et cetera, Howard Lutnick. these are the arch technocrats who are enforcing, if you will, this whole system on the world, at least on America, and they intend to export it to the whole world. https://dhughes.substack.com/p/patrick-wood-building-empire-on-the

Bubble In AI? Echoes Of The Past, Lessons For The Present If you want to understand the engine under this market’s hood, follow the capital. A recent article by Michael Cembalest frames today’s AI boom as a “vendor-financing circle.” This circle occurs when capital raised by one set of companies (via stock, convertibles, or bonds) is recycled into other companies, and so on. In today’s market, that is where AI-related companies are raising capital to make massive AI capex investments, which become revenue for a handful of infrastructure suppliers (GPUs, networking, power, and data centers). Those reported revenues, in turn, help justify still more capital raises, higher valuations, and even bigger build-outs. It looks and feels like reflexivity in real time...
Borrowed money without Russian gas and oil Germany's "Debt Boom": Merz's €500 Billion Gamble Is Keynesian Madness On Steroids
Wikipedia is quite detailed. Oracle started as a CIA project for Larry: Lawrence Joseph Ellison (born August 17, 1944) is an American businessman and entrepreneur who co-founded the software company Oracle Corporation. He was Oracle's chief executive officer from 1977 to 2014 and is now its chief technology officer and executive chairman. He is a centibillionaire and the 2nd richest person in the world as of October 2025. On September 10, 2025, Ellison was briefly the wealthiest person in the world, with an estimated net worth of $393 billion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Ellison
..Oracle’s $18B bond sale, a jumbo deal, was explicitly tied to building AI cloud capacity for large customers. And OpenAI’s “Stargate” initiative targets a stunning $500B to deploy ~10 GW of compute across sites, with partners and suppliers intertwined through equity stakes, long-dated supply agreements, and chip-leasing constructs. When suppliers invest in customers who then pre-order supplier hardware, you’re not just seeing demand but circular demand.
For example, Oracle doesn’t have the money to pay for this spending surge, which is projected to last well into the 2030s (This also assumes that there is NO RECESSION between now and then). While vendor financing with cash from operations is one thing, vendor financing with cash from debt is something totally different. As Cembalest noted, we have now evolved into a “circular economy” of AI, where growth depends on a narrow group of companies. As he noted:
“I think this is well understood, but just to reinforce the point: AI related stocks (1) have accounted for 75% of S&P 500 returns, 80% of earnings growth and 90% of capital spending growth since ChatGPT launched in November 2022. AI is showing up other places as well. Data centers are eclipsing office construction spending and are coming under increased scrutiny for their impact on power grids and rising electricity prices.”
But here is his real eye-opening statement:
“Other recent AI news: Oracle’s stock jumped by 25% after being promised $60 billion a year from OpenAI, an amount of money OpenAI doesn’t earn yet, to provide cloud computing facilities that Oracle hasn’t built yet, and which will require 4.5 GW of power (the equivalent of 2.25 Hoover Dams or four nuclear plants), as well as increased borrowing by Oracle whose debt to equity ratio is already 500% compared to 50% for Amazon, 30% for Microsoft and even less at Meta and Google. In other words, the tech capital cycle may be about to change.”
This pattern has historical rhyme. During the late-1990s telecom boom, equipment makers extended aggressive credit (“vendor financing”) to carriers, effectively funding the purchase orders that produced the vendors’ reported revenues. By mid-2001, the Wall Street Journal tallied at least $25.6B of such loans across major vendors; for one cohort, that financing equaled 123% of combined pretax earnings in 1999. Vendors wrote down receivables when customers defaulted, and the virtuous loop snapped.
The takeaway isn’t that today’s AI spend is fake; the ecosystem itself reflexively finances some portion of revenue. While that completely supports the market while the “music plays,” it becomes problematic if cash returns lag capex for too long, power and supply constraints slow utilization, or financing windows narrow.

But Germany doesn't need Russian natural gas and can support Ukraine's war: Germany's pension and social security system on the verge of collapse
Germany has proposed raising the retirement age to 73 to prevent the collapse of the pension system, per Reuters Chancellor Merz said that Germany can't afford the current social security system and that people will need to pay more from their income. https://x.com/Megatron_ron/status/1975293253546041377
In Berlin’s government circles, anticipation is rising: the massive debt program is ready for launch. Soon, the 500-billion-euro credit package—disguised as a “special fund”—will hit the economy like a tidal wave, supposedly to free the country from its chronic recession.
Looking back, Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s term in office will likely be remembered for one thing above all: his gigantic debt orgy. Half a trillion euros in new borrowing—added on top of the already planned annual deficit of 3.3% of GDP—are supposed to reignite the faltering economic engine over the next decade. https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/germanys-debt-boom-merzs-eu500-billion-gamble-keynesian-madness-steroids

The BritCard Digital ID PsyOp- Apparently, in order to be able to work in the UK, we will all be forced to adopt digital ID—the mandatory so-called BritCard. There is absolutely no public appetite for this, as the more than 2 million and rising (at the time of writing) signatures to the online petition to stop it demonstrates. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/britcard-digital-id-psyop
The people of the United Kingdom are fighting back against the government’s plan to roll out a digital ID system. The petition to counter the legislation quickly became the fastest-growing online petition in UK history, with over two million people signing in less than 48 hours. “We demand that the UK Government immediately commits to not introducing a digital ID cards. We think this would be a step towards mass surveillance and digital control, and that no one should be forced to register with a state-controlled ID system. We oppose the creation of any national ID system. ID cards were scrapped in 2010, in our view for good reason.”
Democracy is dead. The government does not care that the people do not want to join this system. “We will introduce a digital ID within this Parliament to help tackle illegal migration, make accessing government services easier, and enable wider efficiencies. We will consult on details soon,” the government said in an official response to the petition. https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/britain/millions-sign-petition-to-dismantle-uk-digital-id-system/

China's Soybean Boycott - Key Questions Before Trump-Xi Meeting
China hasn't purchased any soybeans from the current U.S. harvest. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and other administration officials say Beijing is using soybeans as leverage in broader trade negotiations...
..In 2024, the U.S. made up about one-fifth of China's soybean imports, worth more than $12 billion, and those sales represented more than half of the value of all U.S. soybean exports. Without that market, growers are left with fewer buyers and weaker prices. Across the U.S. Midwest, farmers are watching storage bins fill up as harvests roll in. Researchers at Purdue University warn that higher costs for fertilizer, seed, and chemicals — combined with falling soybean prices — are squeezing profits. Many growers are choosing to store crops rather than sell at steep losses. That pain ripples across the industry. Grain elevators, processors, and the railroads that move soybeans across the country are all affected by the slowdown.
Does Washington have leverage to pressure Beijing into changing its policy?
The Trump administration has suggested it does. Bessent predicted a "pretty big breakthrough" from the next round of talks. Trump has promised to put soybeans at the top of his agenda when he meets Xi. However, Republican senators left a meeting on Sept. 30 with the U.S. ambassador to China discouraged, saying Beijing has little intention of resuming purchases anytime soon. Trump has said his administration will use funds collected from tariffs to provide farmer relief. On Sept. 24, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins promised a new aid package "in the next couple of weeks," though the federal shutdown complicates the picture.
Are there risks for China?
Yes, but they're limited in the short run. China's massive animal agriculture industry needs soybeans to produce animal feed. But Chinese crushers and farmers have already built up higher-than-usual inventories, and government reserves provide a further cushion. That gives Beijing room to wait until early 2026 before it feels pressure to buy more from abroad. China's reliance on Brazil and Argentina brings long-term risks, however. With fewer suppliers, a future weather shock could prove costly, even as Beijing's tilt toward Brazilian beans is boosting output from the world's top grower. https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/chinas-soybean-boycott-key-questions-trump-xi-meeting

During a press availability in the Oval Office, Trump addressed ongoing legal and political challenges to his administration’s deployments of National Guard troops to major U.S. cities, including Chicago and Portland, Oregon.
Trump was asked directly about invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807—a rarely used federal law that empowers the president to deploy U.S. military forces domestically to suppress insurrections, rebellions, or domestic violence when local authorities are unable or unwilling to maintain order.
The Act bypasses typical restrictions on military use for civilian policing and has been invoked only about 30 times in U.S. history, most recently during the 1992 Los Angeles riots.
Trump stated “Well, I’ll do it if it was necessary… We have an Insurrection Act for a reason. If I had to enact it, I’d do that if people were being killed and courts were holding us up, or governors or mayors were holding us up. I want to make sure people aren’t killed.” https://www.zerohedge.com/political/trump-says-he-may-invoke-insurrection-act

I think they moved physics research to secret military programs: Eric Weinstein presents a stunning and urgent thesis: the fundamental progress of theoretical physics was deliberately and mysteriously halted in the early 1970s. We have been living in a state of intellectual stagnation for over half a century, with our deepest understanding of reality frozen in time.
The evidence is chilling. He points to a meeting where Marc Andreessen was reportedly told by the Biden White House that they had deliberately stagnated fields of theoretical physics. This is not an accident; it is policy. https://x.com/newstart_2024/status/1975316849207529940
