Future Plumbers,
The funding bill that would end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history is headed to the House for a final vote as soon as Wednesday after the Senate approved it in a 60-40 vote on Monday, bringing Congress one step closer to ending the impasse.
Speaker Mike Johnson told members on Monday to start returning as soon as possible in anticipation of travel delays that have snarled airports across the country. Neither chamber is in session Tuesday due to the Veterans Day holiday.
The final legislation extends funding for most agencies until Jan. 30, while including three full-year funding bills for some parts of the government. House Republicans are confident that the package will clear the lower chamber. https://www.cbsnews.com/live-

Alastair Crooke, Western cross-currents: Cultural populism vs deep architecture Thanks Michael R.
..The ruling stratum is deeply embedded and owned by mega-donors precisely to keep it that way.
Nonetheless, the populist dynamic in the U.S. is irrefutable, and may soon evolve beyond the reach of donor speech repression structures...
..Structurally, there is a crisis affecting all but the top 10% or so of households. The U.S. stock market has entered a fantasy euphoria: Fundamentals do not matter; data does not matter; only the meme of the day and how to trade it matters. (The top 10% of households oowns 87% of all stocks).Nonetheless, the populist dynamic in the U.S. is irrefutable, and may soon evolve beyond the reach of donor speech repression structures...
The bottom tier of society however, is further ‘punished’ by price rises (inflation) that have resulted in a crisis of consumer confidence not seen in decades. Even regular staples are being left unsold on supermarket shelves...
..The key structural shift sending shivers of anxiety at prospects of coming social unrest down the spine of the financial panjandrums however, is a simple chart showing vertically soaring U.S. stock market prices for its up-vector, crossing at a certain point with a sharply downward trajectory of job-openings. It is being widely termed a ‘death cross’... The crossover point – where the vectors divide so explosively – is given as the launch date of the AI tool Chat GPT. The chart thus foreshadows a social time bomb.
Are big companies anticipating that AI will bring massive job replacement?
Is such an outcome probable? A recent MIT study by contrast found that 95% of companies that had invested in AI tools were seeing zero return, and concluded that today’s AI doesn’t understand ‘environments’ – It just pattern-matches inside them...
..It is either a crucial market misjudgement by the U.S. AI giants – one that might trigger a market crash – or else, the U.S. AI majors correctly are foretelling a coming tsunami of job replacements...Is such an outcome probable? A recent MIT study by contrast found that 95% of companies that had invested in AI tools were seeing zero return, and concluded that today’s AI doesn’t understand ‘environments’ – It just pattern-matches inside them...
..Whether their judgement is right or wrong, the reality is that, with the top 4 U.S. AI spenders planning on investing $420 billion on infrastructure next year, the “Godfather of AI”, Geoffrey Hinton, says this level of spending can only be justified by replacing humans...
..Trump has made his bet on the U.S. dominating global AI: “If you go a couple of years out, you’re gonna see numbers like you’ve never seen. We’re building some of the biggest buildings ever built anywhere in the world: The AI buildings”.Yet the CEO of Nividia told the FT that China will overtake the U.S. in AI, and Open AI has been angling for a government loan guarantee.
The ‘geological’ fault line here is that there is not one American (or European) economy, there are two quite separate economies: A financialised cornucopia as one, and structured privation as the other. The two do not meet...
..The AI bubble may anytime pop and trigger a sell-off in markets. And the U.S. Supreme Court too, possibly might rule that Trump’s heavy reliance on tariffs – both as a weaponised geo-political tool, and as a source of revenue to plug deficit holes in the Federal budget – be deemed to be partly or wholly unconstitutional.
Trump has said that, were the Supreme Court to rule his tariffs unconstitutional: “We would be defenceless, leading perhaps even to the ruination of our Nation”.
The outlook is unstable too at the level of Trump’s base: MAGA supporters backed away from the ballot this week, either staying home, or flipping to Democrat.Trump has said that, were the Supreme Court to rule his tariffs unconstitutional: “We would be defenceless, leading perhaps even to the ruination of our Nation”.
At the root of the MAGA disenchantment is both the ‘split economy’, but also – in the wake of the killing of Charlie Kirk – a growing breach between MAGA ‘America First’ supporters and the pro-Israel mega-donor cadre. Trump’s close identification with Netanyahu and Israel has been demonstrated to be a losing issue electorally.
Yet, this is the sphere in which – uniquely – Trump is not simply transactional. He acts and speaks — and ‘walks-the-walk’ — of a zealous Zionist. The big question therefore, is can Trump re-define himself in the wake of a clear signal that the Midterms are his to lose? ...
..Trump’s options are limited: He will not be allowed to row back on the donor-financed deep foreign policy architecture that has been in place for four decades: i.e. unqualified support for Israel and the unconstrained open resort to U.S. military action wherever actors decline to align with U.S. and Israeli positions, or refuse to defer to dollar trade primacy.....The key to the future (whether for the U.S. or Europe) is who can persuade voters they can, and will, provide solutions to the ‘bread-and-butter’ structural contradictions ruining their electors’ wellbeing...
..The bottom line? Trump’s foreign policy will face disruptions from both Israel (exacerbating MAGA disquiet) and from Europe.

The European élite technocracy is still in denial that they are widely seen by their electorates as dysfunctional failures... ‘Russophobia‘ is their only rallying cry and we may expect further provocations aimed at Russia. They (still) hope to prove that they were right, all along – that Russia is indeed the threat. The Élites may believe that, but their electorates do not...
..The Trump ‘Order’ is inherently unstable. Facing evident western decline, Trump sails ‘heroically’ against the tide – trying to revive the golden age of America. But that age, if it ever was golden, is no longer to be found. It has passed away.....When the fundamental balance of an ‘order’ has become disrupted beyond a certain point; when the young turn against illusion and begin to search for something fresh to supplant the tired patterns of the old … this is known as waiting for the new moon. That’s where we are. Waiting. https://strategic-culture.su/

Europe can postpone recognition of failure, but it cannot postpone the bill.
Europe now faces a stark choice forced by its disastrous war policy against Russia: either allow the EU to successfully move toward a centralized state over the heads of its member states, risking a mass Eurexit that may or may not succeed in reaction to that gamble, or delay the larger crisis through member states quietly accepting one of several schemes that will cripple the economy and create social strife regardless. The Union must decide whether to use frozen Russian sovereign assets to finance a €140 billion "reparation" loan for Ukraine, or to issue joint debt through Eurobonds. Both paths carry severe legal risks and impose heavy costs on citizens...
In both options, the EU is pouring billions either directly into Ukraine or into arms to supply it yet the war is almost certainly lost and the billions spent on expected returns from reconstruction of Russian-liberated territories will never be recovered. https://www.sott.net/article/

..Article 311 stipulates that the Union "shall provide itself with the means necessary to attain its objectives within the limits of its own resources," prohibiting the creation of new revenue streams without unanimous member state consent. Article 5 TEU further limits EU institutions to exercising only those competences conferred upon them by the Treaties, expressly reserving all others to the Member States. A unilateral Eurobond issuance would thus amount to the Commission assuming fiscal sovereignty; a power the Treaties never grant and which, if asserted, would effectively suspend the member states' budgetary control and violate constitutional order, creating a mass EU-wide legal crisis.
If forced, citizens face higher taxes, constrained public services, and renewed austerity. Debt obligations do not disappear with elections; social unrest could deepen inequality, provoke Euroscepticism, and trigger exit pressures. Constitutionally, this makes the Commission behave as a sovereign treasury without legitimacy...
..Both options are evergreening: keeping failing policies alive to avoid losses. Option A buries legal risk and hands latent liabilities to future citizens; Option B openly burdens taxpayers and risks constitutional rupture. And even worse, both scenarios ignore the chronic economic hazard to Europe if it continues its course of sanctions on Russian energy, which could make it the least competitive economy in the developed world.If forced, citizens face higher taxes, constrained public services, and renewed austerity.

Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) announced that it had thwarted the alleged plot in which the foreign spies allegedly offered Russian pilots $3 million if they would perform the heist.
The RIA news agency quoted the FSB as saying the stolen aircraft was intended to be flown toward a NATO base in the Romanian city of Constanta..Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) announced that it had thwarted the alleged plot in which the foreign spies allegedly offered Russian pilots $3 million if they would perform the heist.
...The FSB isn't alleging that Ukraine was simply trying to steal the Russian hypersonic missile or aircraft in order to use it, but that the whole objective was to see the MiG-31 get shot down while inbound over NATO-member Romania's airspace
"In order to hijack the aircraft, Ukrainian military intelligence officers tried to recruit Russian pilots, offering $3 million," the FSB statement reads. "The special services then planned to send the jet with the Kinzhal missile to the area where NATO's largest airbase in southeastern Europe is located, in the Romanian city of Constanta, where it could be shot down by air defenses." https://www.zerohedge.com/

Russian naval vessels have officially docked at Venezuela’s La Guaira port. This is one of Moscow’s most visible military gestures in Latin America in years.
According to multiple reports, the deployment includes the Admiral Gorshkov frigate. It is one of Russia’s most advanced warships. The deployment also includes the Akademik Pashin, a fleet supply ship.
The Admiral Gorshkov is equipped with hypersonic Zircon missiles. These missiles can strike targets at speeds up to Mach 9. This capability gives the visit a clear strategic undertone. Russian officials describe the operation as a ‘show-the-flag’ mission. https://michaelwalshwriter.

These findings, he says, point to systematic organ removal under Israeli custody. https://x.com/sahatenglish/

Mike Mihajlovic has done excellent research work and presents it very well: Poseidon: The Ultimate Weapon of Vengeance [i] "To wipe out the enemy coast"
..In summary, the Poseidon system represents a technically feasible but strategically extreme extension of known nuclear and naval technologies. It most likely uses a compact liquid-metal-cooled fast reactor to achieve long-range, high-speed operation at great depths, carries a warhead of 2-100 Mt, and could inflict catastrophic local damage and contamination on any coastal target. Yet the notion that it could raise ocean-wide radioactive tsunamis is unsupported by physical science. Its true significance may lie less in its physics than in its symbolism: a weapon designed to project the image of ultimate deterrence by threatening entire coastal societies, even if the practical mechanics of such annihilation are more limited than popular imagination suggests.
Politically, the deployment of Poseidon adds a new dimension to strategic deterrence. Its autonomous nature and perceived “doomsday” capability suggest a weapon intended more for psychological and geopolitical signaling than for practical battlefield use. Its mere existence challenges traditional arms control frameworks and complicates stability calculations by introducing a new underwater axis of nuclear deterrence.
Despite the growing public literature, many details remain unknowable. The reactor’s design, actual performance, warhead configuration, and even deployment status are tightly held secrets. Modeling the hydrodynamics of a multi-megaton underwater detonation is inherently uncertain, as no full-scale tests have ever been conducted at such yields or depths. Extrapolations from smaller historical tests provide useful guidance but cannot capture all nonlinear effects of deep-water bubble dynamics or coastal interactions. Moreover, the strategic intent behind Poseidon, whether as a second-strike deterrent, a terror weapon, or an anti-access denial system, remains speculative and politically sensitive. https://bmanalysis.substack.

Without apparent irony: Syria Signs Declaration To Join US-Led Coalition To Defeat ISIS Terrorist Group https://www.zerohedge.com/
The United States is reportedly preparing to build a massive air base in Syria. The facility, to be established near Damascus, is said to be part of Washington’s plan to create a protective shield for Israel. Reports suggest that the base will serve as a command hub for U.S. operations in Lebanon and Gaza. Sources also indicate that it will be used to support PKK/SDF terrorists. Having already endured years of Russian military dominance under the Assad regime, Syrians now fear that the U.S. base could be used to advance Israel’s plan to divide their country. https://en.yenisafak.com/
From the late 19th century through the 1950s, Zionist leaders adopted a selective immigration policy designed to exclude ‘undesirable’ Jews. The goal of the Zionist movement was to build a Jewish state in a Palestinian Arab land, and that required Jewish capitalists, skilled laborers, professionals and fighters, not children, elderly people or refugees. The Zionist leadership rejected persecuted, disabled, destitute, sick, diseased and elderly Jews because they were persecuted, disabled, destitute, sick, diseased and elderly. They instead prioritized what they called “halutzim,” or young, healthy Zionist ideologues willing to sacrifice their youth, capital, labor and life for the cause. This is the eugenist history of Zionism, in brief. https://palestinenexus.com/

YouTube removed more than 700 videos belonging to three prominent Palestinian human rights organizations in early October, according to reporting by The Intercept. The affected groups—the Palestinian Center for Human Rights, the Al Mezan Center for Human Rights, and Al-Haq—had used their channels to publish visual documentation of alleged violations committed against Palestinians by Israeli forces in Gaza and the West Bank.
The removed videos served as part of ongoing monitoring and reporting work carried out by the organizations.

Many countries have a stake in Sudan. Its former colonial ruler, Britain, whose military equipment has appeared on the battlefield, is just one. UAE is centrally involved, arming the RSF and fuelling the war. But much less remarked upon is the role of Israel...
..RSF are anti-Islamist - RSF have cut a bloody swathe across southern Sudan which echoes the march of ISIS across Iraq and in the mid-2010s. As Joshua Craze explained in April 2025:
Hemedti’s war machine is predicated on continual expansion. Since the RSF offers its recruits licence to loot and raid in lieu of wages, absent fresh targets, its forces have a tendency to disperse. In every city it captures, the RSF has employed the same playbook: destroy state institutions, plunder humanitarian resources, raze civilian property.
Perhaps it is this which has led far-right commentators like Tommy Robinson to brand them as ‘Islamist’. However, this is not correct. The truth is much more complicated.
Shady Ibrahim explained, while Islamists have foothold in the Sudanese army “the RSF aligns most closely with Israel’s strategic interests and national goals”. It has vowed to combat “radical Islamists” and recently removed the word “al-Quds” (Arabic for “Jerusalem”) from its logo. https://www.defenddemocracy.press/gaza-to-sudan-israels-role-in-a-second-genocidal-war-is-being-overlooked/

Steve Kirsch, The PLOS Biology journal editors claim vaccines don't cause autism and we should NOT do a proper study to find out if this is true or not
I also talk about the secret CDC Simpsonwood meeting where the data clearly showed vaccines were causing autism and they looked the other way and tried to hide the transcript. https://kirschsubstack.com/p/the-plos-biology-journal-editorsMany medical providers assume that if there’s no record of a vaccination, the best way to ensure that a child receives the recommended vaccine is to readminister it, according to Rena Maculans, who spent 10 years as an ER nurse and later processed autism treatment claims. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/california-kids-double-triple-vaccinated-autism-emergency-room-nurse/

Physicist and Biotic-Pump Model co-originator, Anastassia Makarieva, Who Will Lead the Global Ecocentrism Movement?
A leaked secret letter to Russian decision-makers, translated and published here with my comments for its perceived potential to energize global leaders toward a nobler task.(1) the poor and the super-rich,
(2) the psychologically stable and unstable,
(3) those who use or do not use artificial intelligence, and
(4) techno- and ecocentrists.
The fourth bifurcation separates the technocentrists—those who believe that all problems of civilization can be solved within the framework of technological progress, which has historically disregarded natural ecosystems—from the ecocentrists, who have realized that the complexity of living nature far exceeds that of modern civilization, and that further development of civilization, including scientific and technological progress, along the path of biospheric destruction is impossible. Ecocentrism, which acknowledges the complexity of living systems, implies a higher level of organization of the scientific and technological process than technocentrism...
..The complexity of life reflects the complexity of the task of sustaining an environment suitable for living.
From these premises follows an unambiguous conclusion: the destruction of natural ecosystems leads to the irreversible destabilization of the environment and climate — a process that cannot be prevented or corrected by technological means...
..Appreciating the complexity of living systems is difficult without direct contact with wild nature... From these premises follows an unambiguous conclusion: the destruction of natural ecosystems leads to the irreversible destabilization of the environment and climate — a process that cannot be prevented or corrected by technological means...
..In Russia, which has preserved uniquely extensive areas of wild nature and traditions of personal interaction with the natural world through its dacha culture, ecocentrism is implicitly present in the consciousness and life philosophy of a large part of the population. This circumstance gives the country, in principle, the capacity to choose unconventional and hardly predictable—at least for technocentrists—paths of development...
..It was in Russia that the interdisciplinary concept of biotic regulation of the environment was developed, which makes it possible to quantitatively assess the stabilizing impact of natural ecosystems on the environment and climate. The principal distinguishing feature of natural ecosystems is their capacity for self-recovery following disturbances that do not exceed the threshold of stability. [The biotic pump concept, which describes the biotic regulation of the continental water cycle, is currently being advanced through a Brazilian–Russian collaboration — a symbolic partnership between the planetary regions that hold the largest share of intact ecosystems.].....Since China’s natural ecosystems have been almost completely destroyed, the country has found itself trapped in technocentrism. However, the escalating environmental degradation is forcing China to search for new paths for progress. [It is also worth noting that a substantial part of the Chinese population continues to work the land as peasants, thereby maintaining at least minimal contact with life-support systems.]...
..Russian natural forests play a key role in the continental transport of atmospheric moisture, providing a significant share of its inflow to China, Central Asia, and other regions. Logging of natural forests in Russia by Chinese businesses destabilizes these flows and contributes to increasing aridity and water cycle instabilities across vast areas of Eurasia, including China itself, where the remaining forests are already under strict protection. Russia urgently needs to introduce a similar moratorium on the exploitation of natural forests north of 58° N latitude. https://bioticregulation.substack.com/p/who-will-lead-the-global-ecocentrism

NASA postponed the launch of the New Glenn heavy-lift orbital rocket, developed by Blue Origin, on Wednesday due to "highly elevated solar activity."
"New Glenn is ready to launch. However, due to highly elevated solar activity and its potential effects on the ESCAPADE spacecraft, NASA is postponing launch until space weather conditions improve," Blue Origin wrote. https://www.zerohedge.com/weather/rare-cannibal-cme-set-slam-earth-raising-risk-ground-level-radiation-surge-threats-critical

Reading all that brings the old saying to mind, no news is good news. You can't vote your way out of tyranny. The jewbanker owns and runs both parties, owns and runs the information/propaganda outlets. So what is to be done? Will their digital panopticon be up and running before lack of trust in their shit$ and fake gooberment collapses? I don't know. 80% of people lined up and took the jewjuice, the odds do not look good. 50 years ago, maybe, but if you get out and about, most people are mindfucked lost souls, just telling me what the tv told them.
ReplyDeleteTaking care of yourself with what you learn is an important step, which may reveal more steps forward. that's why I am keeping expenses down, bicycling and vegetable gardening. We are out of debt. Doing those kinds of things yourself might be an important part of the bigger question you are asking. I don't have a big political solution, but will keep hunkering down and calling out what I see.
