Parting Shots

 Respiring Regularly,


  The last photos taken by Mariam Dagga show the damaged stairwell outside a hospital in the Gaza Strip where she would be killed by an Israeli strike moments later.
  Dagga, a visual journalist who freelanced for The Associated Press, was among 22 people, including five reporters, killed Monday when Israeli forces struck Nasser Hospital twice in quick succession, according to health officials.
  The photos, retrieved from her camera on Wednesday, show people walking up the staircase after it was damaged in the first strike while others look out the windows of the main health facility in southern Gaza.
  The Israeli military said it targeted what it believed was a Hamas surveillance camera, without providing evidence.

  The massacre at Nasser Hospital is a world class example of the absurdity of Israel’s narrative and the complicity of the press, whose response only allows such atrocities to continue.
  On August 26, Israeli tanks fired explosives killing two journalists who were using a camera on the 4th floor of the Nasser Hospital, the only remaining hospital operating in the area. According to the duly reported Israeli sources, the target was a “Hamas Camera” that was tracking the movement of Israeli soldiers in the area who “felt threatened and moved to eliminate the threat.” ...
..A final twist to the absurdity of this story came in the form of news stories appearing in the Hebrew-language Israeli press (but not covered in the Western Press at all) whereby the soldiers involved were furious at Netanyahu for apologizing and stating that this was a mistake, insisting that the “double tap” operation was duly authorized by the higher echelons of the army in advance and “consistent with acceptable policy.” A number of prominent Israeli journalists also publicly supported the action, saying “there are no journalists in Gaza” and that killing all those terrorists, who were “pretending to be journalists only to serve the Hamas narrative,” was mandatory and that their killing was “better late than never.”   https://www.fosna.org/the-fosna-blog/mediaabsurdities

  Nearly half of Gaza aid missions blocked, impeded by Israel: UN
The UN said Thursday that nearly half of humanitarian aid missions in the Gaza Strip were blocked, impeded or delayed by Israel in the last week.
  Citing the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said the "delays and impediments of humanitarian movements within Gaza continue, with movements that are approved by Israeli authorities still taking hours to complete."
  "Teams have been left waiting on roads that are often dangerous, congested or impassable," he added.

  Illegal Israeli settlers beat Palestinian shepherd, steal 300 sheep in occupied West Bank
The attack took place in Kafr Malik, a village east of Ramallah. Khaled Ghara, the shepherd, told Anadolu that several illegal settlers beat him while he was grazing his flock.  He was later taken to the hospital with bruises and other injuries.
  Ghara said the illegal settlers then stole his 300 sheep before leaving the area.

  Israel wanted to punish a Palestinian village. So it destroyed 10,000 of its olive trees.
Israel uprooted 10,000 olive trees in al-Mughayyir
 during a three-day siege of the West Bank Palestinian village. The Israeli army stated that uprooting the trees was intended to “deter” village residents and make them “pay a heavy price.”
  The siege on al-Mughayyir came following reports that an Israeli settler had been attacked near the village, after which the Israeli army’s bulldozers uprooted some 10,000 olive trees in the eastern plain of the village, according to the local farmers’ association. Some of the trees were up to 100 years old.  https://mondoweiss.net/2025/08/israel-wanted-to-punish-a-palestinian-village-so-it-destroyed-10000-of-its-olive-trees/

  Katz Says Israel Operating in 'All Combat Zones Day and Night’
Syria's Foreign Ministry said in a statement that drone strikes Tuesday in the southern Damascus suburb of Kiswah killed eight soldiers. It called the attack “a grave violation of international law” and “clear breach of (Syria's) sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
  Late Wednesday evening, Syrian state news agency SANA reported more Israeli strikes and an airdrop commando raid in the area, “the details of which are not known.”
  SANA reported that the initial strikes on Tuesday had targeted soldiers who, while on patrol, discovered “surveillance and eavesdropping devices."
Ongoing strikes prevented other troops from reaching the area until the following evening. Other soldiers were able to retrieve the bodies of those killed.

   Larry Johnson,  Israel’s Worsening PR Problem and Its Failure to Defeat Hamas
 According to the Middle East Spectator, the IOF today (Friday) received an ass-whipping at the hands of the Zeitoun Battalion:
  The IDF is withdrawing from Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, after the rescue forces were ambushed by Hamas fighters, leading to 1 death and 11 wounded.
BREAKING: No contact has been made with the four missing Israeli soldiers in Ayn Al-Zaytoun in the Gaza Strip — there is now increasing speculation that all of them may have been captured by Hamas.
  Hebrew media now reporting that the IDF search and rescue has ‘given up’ on the 4 missing soldiers, and the Israeli government is preparing a major press release.
  This disaster may bolster the position of the head of the IOF, who reportedly is strongly opposed to conducting further ground-based military operations in Gaza City.
  The courage displayed by the Hamas fighters is creating a legend among the Palestinian people that will live on and inspire others to resist. Despite Western efforts to paint Hamas as terrorists, they are not killing civilians… they are going toe-to-toe with the best equipped-army in the region. These Palestinian warriors are fighting for freedom and to avenge the murder of their families and friends.

  Ukraine security guarantees only after peace deal – Moscow
  “It is necessary to understand that providing security guarantees is not a condition, but a result of a peaceful settlement based on eliminating the root causes of the conflict in Ukraine, which, in turn, will guarantee the security of our country,” she said.
  Zakharova criticized the Western proposals put forward so far, warning they would only “lead to destabilization.”
  “The options proposed by the Collective West are one-sided, built with the obvious expectation of containing Russia… they increase the risk of NATO being drawn into an armed conflict with our country,” 
she said, adding that they would “secure Kiev’s role as a strategic provocateur on Russia’s borders.”
  Kiev earlier pushed for NATO membership as a security guarantee, but US President Donald Trump has ruled this out. Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky and his European backers have also called for “Article 5-like guarantees” obligating the US-led military bloc to act if Ukraine is attacked. European policymakers have also considered sending troops to Ukraine as peacekeepers and creating a buffer zone with Western patrols.

​  Gilbert Doctorow,  ‘Spotlight,’ Press TV (Iran): E3 Move to reimpose UN sanctions
​  France, Britain and German, European cosigners of the JCPOA agreement that provided for international monitoring of Iran’s nuclear program and restrictions on uranium enrichment in exchange for lifting economic sanctions against Iran, are now poised to implement its ‘snapback’ provisions reimposing those sanctions within a month over allegations that Iran has failed to live up to its obligations under the JCPOA.
​  Of course, this prospect has provoked great concern in Teheran which is threatening to halt all cooperation with the international atomic agency. Meanwhile, Russia and China have protested the planned ‘snapback’ action at the United Nations.​..
..I call out here the point that the three European countries leading the effort to reimpose crushing sanctions on Iran, the United Kingdom, France and Germany, are precisely the ringleaders in efforts to sabotage the peace process in Ukraine and continue the fight against Russia to the last Ukrainian. I repeat here my assertion that what they are doing on Iran is precisely an effort to curry favor with Donald Trump with intent to bring him around to their anti-Russian, pro-Ukrainian positions.​   https://gilbertdoctorow.substack.com/p/spotlight-press-tv-iran-e3-move-to

​  Aesthetica on X, from Dr.D:    spoke with the mom of one of the girls (Mayah) and got the entire story that the media is covering up and lying about.
So first of all, the reporting got the names of the girls mixed up. There were 3 girls who were there who were accosted and attacked by the migrants.  
  Lola - Lola is the hero from the video. She's the one with the axe defending her sister from the migrant attackers 
Ruby - Lola's older sister who was attacked and hospitalized 
  Mayah - Ruby's best friend who was with them and went to call the police after Ruby was attacked by the migrants 
Here's the summary of what happened from Mayah's mother: 
"Yes. So what happened was the girls where out just walking and the man in the picture made comments to lola (the younger girl) calling her sexy and other sexual remarks then the girls started to tell this man to leave them alone and stop following them and making sexual remarks to them
  After that the man's sister (also in the picture) came around the corner and physically attacked Ruby (the older sister) she grabbed her hair dragged her to the floor started to punch her then both the man and woman were kicking her in head while she was on the floor
  At this point my daughter (Mayah) called the police so my daughters account after that is all a bit blurry. But that is when Lola had the weapons she pulled them out to protect Ruby. 
  After that the man came back at lola recording her making sure she showed the weapons to the camera and antagonising her
Ruby was hospitalised after the attack with a severe concussion a tennis ball sized lump to the back of her head as well as lots of bruises."   https://x.com/Anc_Aesthetics/status/1960815792712507904

​  Embattled Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook Admits to Manufacturing Documents, Hints ‘Clerical Error’ Behind Mortgage Occupancy Fraud Dispute
​  “We have obtained a document Lisa Cook submitted to the U.S. Government while serving as Federal Reserve Governor. In it, on February 28, 2023, she represents to the U.S. Government that the Atlanta Property is her PERSONAL RESIDENCE,” Pulte said.
​  “However, Lisa Cook, as a then-sitting Fed Governor and six months earlier, on September 1, 2022, appears to have listed that same property for RENT,” Pulte added.
​  Lisa Cook had two mortgage loans being underwritten at the same time which means the bank underwriter handling the out-of-state condo likely did not know about the other loan.
​ This is a classic tactic used by a borrower committing occupancy fraud to obtain more favorable loan terms.​

​  IC Leakers Target Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard Again​, Sundance
​  The Wall Street Journal wrote the hit piece against DNI Tulsi Gabbard, sourced to two “people familiar with the matter,” and “three other people with knowledge of the situation.”  They all needed to coordinate with the WSJ. Think about it.
​  The substance of the story is that among the 37 current and former Intelligence Community officials Tulsi Gabbard recently stripped of their security clearances, was an “undercover CIA agent” located within one of those agencies.
​  The story is written to say DNI Tulsi Gabbard should have vetted the list with the CIA for a longer period of time before she took action. Therefore, she is not doing her job correctly, or something.  The CIA was compromised by Tulsi Gabbard removing the security clearance of one of their hidden agents within the U.S. Government.
​   Before getting to the story at hand, just stop and think of what the story is selling.  The article says the placement of CIA agents throughout the administration’s agencies is commonplace.  The CIA Director is not necessarily aware of these CIA operatives or operations that are taking place within the government.  That point is one well worth thinking about.
​  However, there’s another larger point that will fly past most casual observers.  The Intelligence Community (IC), and let’s accept this one is likely the CIA (directorate of analysis) from the structure of the political hit, is leaking against DNI Tulsi Gabbard.  Again, think. The issue at the heart of the CIA complaint is null and void unless the CIA publicly complains about it.​..
​.."The CIA official whose clearance was revoked last week is a longtime Russia hand at the agency. The officer has held intelligence posts for more than 20 years and worked from 2014 to 2017 as an expert on Russia and Eurasia on the National Intelligence Council, according to a publicly listed biography.
​  Earlier this year, the CIA officer spoke at a classified intelligence conference and was described as a senior executive manager in the CIA’s Europe and Eurasia mission center.
​  […] It is a felony to reveal the identity of a covert intelligence officer or agent, though it is unclear if the statute could be applied to a government disclosure, or if including her on the list constitutes a disclosure.  (read more)​"
​  Did ya’ll catch that little slip-up “her” inside the last sentence?
Apparently, the person on the list, the hidden CIA operative that lost their security clearance, was a “her.” ...
..FTA: “The CIA officer spoke at a classified intelligence conference and was described as a senior executive manager in the CIA’s Europe and Eurasia mission center”… AFCEA Spring Intelligence Symposium: Ms. Julia Gurganus, Senior Executive Manager – Europe and Eurasia Mission Center, Central Intelligence Agency.​   https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/08/28/ic-leakers-target-director-of-national-intelligence-tulsi-gabbard-again/

​  More fromSundance,  The CIA -vs- DNI Tulsi Gabbard​  
​  By calling Julia Gurganus an active and covert CIA operative, the scheme team within the directorate knew Gabbard would be unable to defend herself publicly.  Discussing the identity of an active/covert CIA operative is against the law.  The CIA weaponized the law within their attack against the ODNI; leaking a false story they knew Tulsi couldn’t defend against.
​  However, we the people are not stupid.  It did not take long to figure out the identity of the asset from the curriculum vitae used in the Wall Street Journal story, and from that point it was clear Julia Gurganus was NOT previously a covert CIA operative.  Gurganus was public in her position within the CIA; public, until the CIA changed her status in June.
​  This is ultimately an example of the weaponized intelligence system DNI Gabbard is fighting against.
​  The current actions by the directorate of analysis inside the CIA is also an example of why DNI Gabbard removed the National Intelligence Council from the agency, fired Chairman Mike Collins (friend of Mike Morrell) and Deputy Chair Maria Langan-Riekhof, and also took control over the Presidential Daily Briefing material the fraudsters were in control of.
​  Remember, by design the CIA is a one-way information system.  Information (intelligence) goes into the agency, the black hole where things can be linguistically modified and shaped to fit a particular viewpoint, yet there is no substantive mechanism for the CIA head to challenge the outflow of information if it is fraudulent.​..
​..If covert CIA operatives are not permitted to engage in domestic governance, then why was covert CIA agent Julia Gurganus operating in government?  The shield the CIA attempted to deploy becomes a weapon for us to expose their fraud.
​  As this battle continues, and make no mistake this battle will continue, we will closely support the efforts of DNI Tulsi Gabbard to bring the weaponized IC to heel.  Gabbard is the truth warrior we need and the Deep State is not happy about it.​

​  Vaccine-Autism Link Ascertainable By Case Studies
Population-wide statistical analyses from automated sources of data can be manipulated often missing the complex reality of individuals.
..“Developmental Regression and Mitochondrial Dysfunction in a Child with Autism” in which they described the case of Hannah Poling (Dr. Poling’s daughter).
  A 19-month-old girl was born after a normal full-term pregnancy. There was no family history of autism or affective, neuromuscular, or hearing disorders. Her development was progressing well, with normal receptive and expressive language and use of prelinguistic gestures, such as pointing for joint attention. Imaginary play and social reciprocity were typical for age. She used at least 20 words and could point to five body parts on command. 
​ Several immunizations were delayed owing to frequent bouts of otitis media with fever. Within 48 hours after immunizations to diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis; Haemophilus influenzae B; measles, mumps, and rubella; polio; and varicella (Varivax), the patient developed a fever to 38.9°C, inconsolable crying, irritability, and lethargy and refused to walk. Four days later, the patient was waking up multiple times in the night, having episodes of opisthotonus, and could no longer normally climb stairs. Instead, she crawled up and down the stairs. 
​  Low-grade intermittent fever was noted for the next 12 days. Ten days following immunization, the patient developed a general- ized erythematous macular rash beginning in the abdomen. The patient’s pediatrician diagnosed this as due to varicella vaccination. 
​  For 3 months, the patient was irritable and increasingly less responsive verbally, after which the patient’s family noted clear autistic behaviors, such as spinning, gaze avoidance, disrupted sleep/wake cycle, and perseveration on specific television programs. All expressive language was lost by 22 months.
​  Though it was initially concealed from the public, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims acknowledged that Hannah Poling’s profound autism had indeed been caused by the battery of vaccines she received at the age of 19 months.​   https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/vaccine-autism-link-proven-by-case

​  Escape Key,  COVID-19 and the Pandemic Treaty​  
The global response to COVID-19 was not a spontaneous scramble in the face of an unexpected virus. It was the activation of a system that had been quietly built for decades — a mesh of international institutions, digital infrastructures, legal codes, and financial backstops.
​  From the first weeks of 2020, the rollout looked less like an improvisation of sovereign nations and more like a script. Policies — lockdowns, mask mandates, school closures, quarantine hotels, digital passes — appeared almost simultaneously across borders. The language was the same everywhere: for your safety, for the common good.
​  That synchronisation was a red flag. Governments rarely agree on much of anything. Yet suddenly, without debate, legislatures and publics were sidelined. The world moved in lockstep, and those speaking up were censored regardless of Western laws guaranteeing free speech.
​  The question is not whether COVID-19 was ‘real’ or ‘fake’ — or even if it was vastly overstated as a threat. The deeper question is: how was a planetary-scale management system already sitting there, fully tooled, waiting to be switched on the moment an emergency was declared?
​  Pre-Built Mechanisms
Long before 2020, the architecture of ‘pandemic governance’ had been assembled piece by piece. Each previous crisis served as rehearsal.
​  The 2009 H1N1 outbreak exposed ‘coordination gaps’ and was followed by calls for stronger narrative control and global supply-chain command.
​  Scenario exercises like SPARS (2017) and Event 201 (2019) rehearsed not only epidemiological spread but messaging strategycensorship, and financial mobilisation.
​  The Global Preparedness Monitoring Board’s 2019 report, A World at Risk, explicitly recommended embedding pandemic powers into national laws, expanding cross-border data sharing, and running annual global simulations.
​  Layered on top of this were the ‘One Health’ and ‘Planetary Health’ frameworks, stretching the definition of health from human illness into animals, ecosystems, and climate. By 2019’s Berlin Principles, the claim was codified: zoonotic spillover and ecological disruption were no longer environmental issues, but health emergencies.
​  And in this new era, human health was not to be treated any differently:
​  "Underpinning the Berlin Principles is a broad One Health ethical framework... the current entwined emergencies of public health, biodiversity loss and climate change clearly illustrate the impossibility of protecting human health in isolation from the health of other animals and the environment.​" 
​  Thus, when the World Health Organisation declared a pandemic in March 2020, the switch flipped. Everything that had been prepared in the background — digital ID prototypes, censorship regimes, financial stabilisation mechanisms, emergency legal clauses… zoonotic disease claims — came online almost instantly.​    https://escapekey.substack.com/p/covid-19-and-the-pandemic-treaty

​  Steve Kirsch, New analysis of the Czech COVID vaccine data reveals that the mRNA shots were deadly for all ages. They should be pulled from the market.
I applied this method to the record-level government data from the Czech Republic. This is the only publicly available dataset in the world of COVID vaccine data. All other countries keep the record level data secret, only available to qualified researchers and only under approved research protocols. These policies ensure that the public is kept in the dark about the safety of vaccines.
 The results for the period from mid 2021 until the end of 2022 showed the COVID vaccines didn’t have a benefit for anyone of any age.
  Here are the latest results using the new code that does automatic slope normalization (it was previously done manually) making these new results both repeatable and objective:
Age: All  Mortality Increase: 23%
Age: 70 - 90  Mortality Increase: 12%
Age: <70:  Mortality Increase: 40%
  Note that the under 70 net harm of 40% is comparable to the 36% net harm found in the Levi Florida study (OR [95% CI]: 1.356 [1.303, 1.412]).

Invisible Power

 Out Of The Loop,


​  Ellen Brown: Unaudited Power: The Military Budget Nobody Controls
​  Under the Constitution, the military budget should not be paid at all, because the Pentagon has never passed an audit. Expenditures of public funds without a public accounting violate Article 1, Section 9, Clause 7of the Constitution, which provides:
​  No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time
.​..
..The Department of Defense’s $885.7 billion budget for 2025, approved by the House of Representatives, dwarfs the military spending of China ($296 billion), Russia ($84 billion), and the next eight nations combined. Managing $4.1 trillion in assets—from aircraft carriers to secret drones—along with $4.3 trillion in liabilities (e.g. personnel costs and pensions), the federal government’s largest agency oversees a military empire spanning over 4,790 sites worldwide. Yet it operates with minimal oversight... 
..As observed in a January 2019 article in Rolling Stone by Matt Taibbi, openly secret budgets were first legalized in 1949 with the passage of the Central Intelligence Agency Act, which exempted that newly created agency from public financial disclosure...
..The Audit the Pentagon Act of 2023, backed by Sens. Bernie Sanders and Chuck Grassley, proposes docking 0.5–1% of budgets for audit failures, but the measure has not received a vote.
​  The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), launched with promises to strip waste, fraud, and abuse from federal agencies, has conspicuously sidestepped the Pentagon...
..The Pentagon’s audit failures mask not just inefficiency and waste but pervasive fraud and corruption. Between 1998 and 2015, Inspector General reports show that the DoD could not account for $21 trillion in spending—65% of federal spending during that period...
..In 2017, former HUD official Catherine Austin Fitts collaborated with Mark Skidmore, an economics professor at Michigan State University, to document the missing $21 trillion in unsupported journal voucher adjustments at the DoD and HUD. In a June 2025 article published in Fitts’ journal The Solari Report titled “Should We Care about Secrecy in Financial Reporting?,” Dr. Skidmore discussed how the government responded to the publication of his research with Fitts. Its response was to immediately eliminate the paper trail leading to its covert financial operations. In particular, “Pentagon officials turned to the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board (FASAB) for advice. Several months later, FASAB posted a new document (FASAB 56), which recommended that the government be allowed to misstate and move funds to conceal expenditures if it is deemed necessary to protect national security interests.”... 
​..In a widely-viewed interview by Tucker Carlson on April 28, 2025, Fitts expressed her belief that the missing trillions had been funneled into classified projects involving advanced technologies, including massive underground bunkers to protect elites from a “near-extinction event;” and that they were using advanced energy systems and hidden transit networks possibly linked to extraterrestrial tech. She discussed “interdimensional intelligence” and a secret space program linked to a “breakaway civilization.” The latter term was coined by UFO researcher Richard Dolan and is defined by Google as “a theoretical, hidden society that operates outside of mainstream civilization with advanced technology, often linked to UFO phenomena and secret space programs.”
​  In a Danny Jones interview in May 2025, Fitts alluded to Deep Underground Military Bases (“DUMBs”), perhaps used for “advanced technology or off-world operations.” Existence of these bases was confirmed two decades earlier by whistleblower Philip Schneider, a U.S. government geologist and engineer involved in their construction. In his last presentation in 1995, Schneider said there were 131 of these cities connected underground by mag-lev rail, built at a cost of $17-26 billion eachAccording to his biographer, Schneider was assassinated in 1996 by a U.S. intelligence agency for disclosing the government cover-up of UFOs and aliens...
​..The Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) contends that no verifiable evidence supports extraterrestrial activity. But other prominent figures support the UFO/UAP narrative. In 2017, the New York Times exposed the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), said to be a $22 million DoD initiative run by Luis Elizondo investigating UAPs from 2007–2012.
​  According to BBC News, Haim Eshed, former head of Israel’s space security program, claimed in a 2020 interview with the Yediot Aharonot newspaper that the U.S. government has an “agreement” with a “Galactic Federation” of extraterrestrials. He alleged aliens have been in contact with the U.S. and Israel, with secret underground bases where they collaborate on experiments. Eshed claimed the United States was on the verge of disclosing this under President Trump but withheld it to avoid “mass hysteria.” The claims were unverified but provocative.
​  In recent years, Congress has increased its focus on UAPs, with high-profile hearings in 2022, 2023, and 2024. In 2023, whistleblower David Grusch, a former intelligence officer, testified that the U.S. possesses “non-human origin” craft and “dead pilots,” based on classified briefings. On November 13, 2024, the House Oversight Committee’s hearing, “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Exposing the Truth,” featured testimony from Luis Elizondo, retired Navy Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet, journalist Michael Shellenberger, and former NASA official Michael Gold, who claimed the U.S. possesses UAP technologies and has harmed personnel in secret retrieval programs.​..
..With $21 trillion unaccounted for historically, $165 billion in F-35 overruns, and $125 billion in buried waste, the DoD’s financial mismanagement needs urgent reform. Congress is primarily responsible for overseeing the DoD budget, exercising its constitutional “power of the purse” under Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution. So why isn’t it enforcing this mandate?
​  The chief excuse given is the need for secrecy for security reasons, but a congressional committee could be given access to the Pentagon’s financial data in closed session in order to exercise public oversight and enforce accountability. Other factors are obviously at play, including political influence, lobbying, campaign contributions from the defense sector, and a lack of penalties for noncompliance.
​  To restore accountability, Congress needs to enforce the Audit the Pentagon Act, modernize DoD systems, and investigate contractors profiting from lax oversight. UAP transparency is also critical, whether to debunk myths or uncover truths.​

​  Escape Key,  Patterns of Capture​: How Systems Theory Explains Control
  Systems theory isn't abstract mathematics — it's the grammar behind everything that surrounds us, from the internet packets carrying this text to the banknotes in your wallet, from the ecosystems outside your window to the institutional frameworks that govern them. Understanding systems theory means understanding the deep structures that shape power and control in our world.
​  At its heart lies a fundamental tension between two visions of organisation: Ludwig von Bertalanffy's networks and Kenneth Boulding's hierarchiesBertalanffy saw systems as webs of interconnected nodes, robust through distribution. Boulding saw the necessity of layered organisation, coherence through structured levels.
​  This tension explains why clearinghouses exist, why they capture power, and why the question of control appears to haunt every system we build including governance...
​..The tension between Bertalanffy's networks and Boulding's hierarchies isn't an abstract theoretical debate. Cash or CBDCs? ARPANET or platforms? Distribution or domination? These aren't technical questions but civilizational ones.
​  Every system we design embodies this choice: do we organise for adaptability or control? Do we distribute power or concentrate it? Do we enable peer-to-peer interaction or force everything through mediating institutions?
​  Networks alone become chaotic; hierarchies alone become tyrannical. The art lies in combining them properly — hierarchies that serve networks, mediators that facilitate rather than capture, clearinghouses that coordinate rather than control.
​  Understanding how systems theory explains control is the first step toward designing systems that serve human interest rather than human submission. In that choice lies the future of human organisation itself.​

​  The Honest Sorcerer,  The End of Post-Industrial Nations​  There can be only one… then none?
​  As the global south slowly began to decolonize itself by looking for alternatives to Western financial systems designed around their exploitation, and as global energy and raw material extraction approached planetary limits, the post-industrial, high value added model of the West began to crumble​  Emerging economies have realized that once the basic industries are secured — providing these nations with the iron, coal, copper etc. needed for their development — they can start training the engineers and scientists of their own, turning these resources into bridges, railways, dams, factories and the like. ​  The industrialization of many global south countries have naturally created a competition for resources between these rapidly developing and the already developed nations. (Unfortunately, meanwhile the size of this planets natural reserves didn’t grow in line with the ambitions of its inhabitants.) So far the global race for energy and raw materials was held back by IMF and World Bank policies demanding wages to be suppressed and austerity measures introduced in targeted nations, and thereby preventing competing markets from being built up. With the weakening of the dollar’s status and the development of an alternative system (BRICS) the picture has started to change substantially.
​  Europe’s sanctioning of Russian energy has acted as a release valve, though. Thanks to the deeply depleted status of the continent’s own fossil fuel and mineral resources, many companies left the EU in search for cheaper energy inputs after the 2022 price shock, lowering competition for resources on the long run by de-industrializing the economic bloc and creating a permanent cost-of-living crisis in what used to be one of the world’s wealthiest regions. ​  The EU’s plummeting energy demand in the wake of natural gas, diesel and coal price hikes has thus not only prevented a global squeeze on energy but also ensured that the problem of high prices for the rest of the world will be avoided for some time to come. (As for the EU: falling wholesale energy prices invited a substantial increase in taxes on energy, keeping prices high for businesses no matter what.) Germany, as a result, is forecast to experience a 0.3% recession in 2025, but adjusting for state spending, the real decline could be closer to 4-5%.​

​  War, Trump’s New $500 Note & Volcanos -Martin Armstrong
​  Ukraine is about ready to fall apart. . .. I spread this to Washington and that is President Zelensky was sending $50 million per month to UAE.  So, Zelensky has been preparing to leave.  There is no way this guy could possibly retire in Ukraine.  They will kill him.”
​  Does this mean the war may be over?  Zelensky and nearly all of Europe’s leaders came to Washington recently to meet with President Trump, but it really was not to talk peace.  Armstrong says, “The fact that all those leaders came to Washington—uninvited, they all met with Zelensky before they went to meet with Trump.  Why did they come?  Because they need war.  I have warned Washington.”
​  So, if Europe starts a wider war with Russia, will Trump stay out of it?  Armstrong says, “Yes, Trump said no American troops from what I have been told.  Trump refuses to send any American troops to Ukraine as peacekeepers—period.”
​  Reading between the lines, does this mean Trump is putting the EU on notice we are not going to Article 5 in if you start a war?  Armstrong says, “Article 5 is voluntary.  I have made this very clear to them in Washington.  You don’t have to participate. . .. I can’t stop the war.  The best I can do is reduce the amplitude.  If I can keep America out of this war, that is our best outcome. . .. Europe knows it’s in trouble financially.  They have $335 billion of Russian assets frozen.  France has about $71 billion. . .. The rumor going around right now is if there is a peace deal and they have to release those frozen assets, France can’t because they have been dipping into them.  Europe is a complete mess.  When it comes down to handing back $335 billion in Russian assets, I am not sure Europe is prepared to do that.”
​  Armstrong says forget all the talk of the elite wanting to get rid of cash and replace it with digital currency.  Armstrong says, “No, no, no.  Why is Trump talking about a $500 note. . .. Trump would not even contemplate doing a $500 bill if he was going to cancel the currency.  Everybody else is cancelling currency and putting in capital controls, and Trump is going in the opposite direction. . .. Gold is still projected to go much higher because it is anticipating war.”​

​  Moon of Alabama, Ukraine - Zelenski Rejects Giving Land As Fascists Promise To Kill Him
​  The London Times continues to make propaganda for Nazis. After a recent whitewashing interview with Azov Nazi leader Biletsky (archived) it yesterday published an interview with the former leader of the fascist Right Sector in Odessa Serhii Sterneneko.
​  ‘Russia has repeatedly tried to kill me — I must be doing something right’ 
(archived)
​  Sterneneko had a leading role in the 2014 massacres in Maidan Square and at the Trade Union's House in Odessa. The Times is whitewashing his participation in those events. It does not mind to publish his threats against Zelenski:
​  [A]mong Ukraine’s younger generation of soldiers and civilians, Sternenko’s brand of truth to power has wide popularity. “I say what I think, and people like what I say.”
​  His views on President Putin’s demand for Ukraine to cede the territory it defends in the eastern Donbas region as a precondition for possible peace are typically direct. “If [President] Zelensky were to give any unconquered land away, he would be a corpse — politically, and then for real,” Sternenko said. “It would be a bomb under our sovereignty. People would never accept it.”
​  Sternenko, who himself has avoided the draft, wants the war to go on forever.​

​  Has Ukraine just declared war on Hungary?
​  The Zelensky regime’s attacks on a key pipeline are hurting an EU member – and he chooses to add insult to injury
​ The immediate spark was the Druzhba (“Friendship”) oil pipeline that still delivers crude from Russia to Central Europe. Several Ukrainian drone strikes targeted the pipeline in recent weeks, halting supplies to Hungary and Slovakia. A Ukrainian commander, known by the call sign Madyar, publicly admitted involvement.
​  For Hungary and Slovakia, this was more than an economic disruption. Both countries rely heavily on the pipeline, and in response, their leaders called on the European Commission to guarantee supply securityHungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó, a frequent critic of EU policy on Ukraine, accused Brussels of serving Kiуv’s interests over those of member states. His frustration boiled over further when he described Vladimir Zelensky’s quips about “friendship” as thinly veiled threats.
​  Zelensky’s remark – “We have always supported friendship between Ukraine and Hungary, and now the existence of this ‘Friendship’ depends on Hungary” – was apparently meant as a pun on the pipeline’s name, but to Hungary it sounded like a mafia-style threat. Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s reaction was uncompromising: “Zelensky openly threatened Hungary. He admitted that they hit the Druzhba pipeline because we don’t support their EU membership. This proves again that Hungarians made the right decision.”
​  The timing is telling. Strikes on the pipeline coincided with Zelensky’s Washington visit alongside EU leaders. Either Brussels tacitly encouraged him to punish Orbán, an ally of Donald Trump, or the EU simply looked away as Zelensky acted on his own. Both explanations sound outrageous, but there hardly seems to be a third option...
..Hungary has also quietly carried a humanitarian burden. In 2022 alone, over 1.3 million Ukrainians crossed into Hungary – second only to Poland and Romania. Budapest accepted them with little fanfare, though later tightened its asylum rules to restrict new arrivals to those from active war zones. At the same time, Hungary supplies a significant share of Ukraine’s electricity, a fact Szijjártó reminded Kiev of when rebuffing Ukrainian accusations.​   https://swentr.site/news/623532-ukraine-hungary-war-druzhba/

Gaza to Donbass: How Israel and Ukraine Built a Fascist, Transnational War Machine
​  The war in Ukraine and the genocide in Gaza are not separate conflicts. They are parallel theaters of the same civilizational confrontation: East vs. West. In both, a militarized ethno-state backed by the West targets an Eastern people whose only crime is refusing to vanish.
​  In Donbass, it was the people who resisted the Maidan coup, who refused to bow to a NATO-aligned regime built on racialized nationalism and historical amnesia. In Gaza, it is the people who refuse to surrender their land, their dignity, and their right to exist to a Western-backed settler state that sees them as demographic threats. Since 2014, both have been bombed, blockaded, starved, and slandered, framed as terrorists for daring to survive.
​  The West calls this order. But it’s an order built on siege.
​  Those who insist that Russia is secretly aligned with Israel misunderstand both history and the present moment. Russia may be cautious, even shifting in some diplomatic arenas, but it has not embraced the West’s logic of annihilation. It has not signed onto the project of fortress ethno-states wielding AI-powered drones against refugee camps or school basements. On the contrary, Russia stands, with all its contradictions, as a major brake on that world order.
​  If Israel is Ukraine, then Gaza is Donbass: two peoples on the wrong side of the Western empire, trapped behind barbed wire and digital crosshairs.​

​  Australia throws out Iran ambassador over alleged antisemitic attacks
Canberra expelled Tehran’s ambassador after accusing Iran of masterminding at least two antisemitic attacks on Australian soil.
​  Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the country’s intelligence services had linked Iran’s military to arson attacks in Sydney and Melbourne, throwing out an ambassador for the first time since World War II, a move The Sydney Morning Herald’s national affairs editor dubbed “the diplomatic equivalent of the nuclear option.”

​  Scott Ritter, the former UN weapons inspector, told The Trends Journal in an interview Monday that the IDF’s strike on Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza was an example of a country in the “final spasms of genocidal policies,” and the Trump administration will continue to face more isolation for supporting the ongoing atrocities in Gaza. Ritter also discusses what to expect next in Ukraine.​   https://trendsinthenews.substack.com/p/scott-ritter-were-seeing-israel-in

​  Washington confirmed steep new tariffs on Indian goods, effective from Wednesday.
The move, announced by President Donald Trump and detailed in a Homeland Security notice, adds an additional 25% duty, taking total tariffs as high as 50%—among the highest imposed by Washington. The measures come in retaliation for New Delhi’s increased purchases of Russian oil, News.Az reports, citing Reuters.
​  A commerce ministry official said there was “no hope for any immediate relief or delay” but noted exporters would receive financial assistance and be encouraged to diversify into markets such as China, Latin America, and the Middle East.
​  The new duties will apply from 12:01 a.m. EDT on Wednesday (9:31 a.m. IST). Shipments already in transit, humanitarian aid, and items under reciprocal trade programs will be exempt.
​  The Indian rupee slid to a three-week low of 87.68 per dollar, recovering slightly after suspected central bank intervention. Benchmark equity indexes NSE Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex each fell 1%, their worst session in three months.
​  Wednesday’s tariff escalation follows five rounds of failed talks. Both sides have blamed political missteps and missed signals for the breakdown, despite optimism earlier that tariffs could be capped at 15%.
​  White House trade adviser Peter Navarro and U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent accused India of indirectly funding Russia’s war in Ukraine through a surge in oil purchases. Russian crude now makes up 42% of India’s total oil imports, up from less than 1% before the war.
​  Industry groups estimate nearly 55% of India’s merchandise exports worth $87 billion could be hit, with sectors such as engineering, textiles, and chemicals most exposed.​

​  Nobody could ever bring India and China together...  Washington's nightmare: Modi and Xi break the ice,  M.K.Bhadrakumar
A potential India–China border breakthrough could mark a turning point in Asia, easing decades of hostility while undermining Washington’s grip on New Delhi.
​  This week, India and China have taken a great leap of faith in their mutual efforts to incrementally advance the normalization process in their bilateral relationship. This may assume the nature of a rapprochement when Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi meets Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation [SCO] summit in the port city of Tianjin in northeast China on 31 August–1 September.​..
​..The most sensational development is that the two countries are exploring an “early harvest” in delimitation of boundaries and have agreed on new mechanisms on border management, which will also work towards de-escalation. This is a highly sensitive issue, as Indian public opinion is shaped by self-serving narratives that emerged after the 1962 war and by the idea of establishing a border that never historically existed.
​ This is where Modi’s leadership becomes crucial. Modi is probably one of the only leaders today who has the credibility, decisiveness, and vision to navigate a border settlement with China.​..
..Wang has signaled that Beijing is as eager as New Delhi to improve the relationship against the backdrop of an increasingly reckless and belligerent Trump administration. Both sides sense that they have common interests. Inevitably, a China–India working relationship anchored on a strategic understanding will do wonders for BRICS. This prospect is already worrying Trump, who has threatened BRICS more than once for allegedly working to dethrone the dollar as the world's currency.​..
 ..Make no mistake, the Trump administration’s frustration with India is geopolitical. None other than the famous White House counsellor for trade and manufacturing and Trump’s close aide, Peter Navarro, blurted out in a Financial Times (FT) op-ed this week that the US should not transfer “cutting-edge” military technology to an India which is “cozying up to both Russia and China.”   https://thecradle.co/articles/washingtons-nightmare-modi-and-xi-break-the-ice

​   Vigilant Fox:  DNI Tulsi Gabbard tells President Trump she’s EXPOSED some of the worst cases yet of weaponized intelligence.
Then Trump dropped a jaw-dropper about the 2020 election
  Gabbard: “Mr. President, you have charged me with the mission of finding the truth and telling the truth to the American people, and we’ve exposed some of the worst examples of the weaponization of intelligence in the last several weeks.” “I will continue down that mission and that path, wherever it leads. Transparency, telling the truth is what will drive true accountability for the American people who deserve nothing less.” 
  Trump: “And you’ve also found many bags of information, I think they call them burn bags. They’re supposed to be burned and they didn’t get burned having to do with how corrupt the 2020 election was, and when will that all come out?” 
  Gabbard: “Mr. President, I will be the first to brief you once we have that information collected. But you’re right—we are finding documents literally tucked away in the back of safes, in random offices, in these bags and in other areas, which, again, speaks to the intent of those who are trying to hide the truth from the American people and trying to cover up the politicization that was led by people like John Brennan and James Clapper and others that have caused immeasurable harm to the American people and to our country.”   https://x.com/VigilantFox/status/1960397959717175428/

​  Trump Mulls Travel Ban for EU Officials Over 'Orwellian' Censorship Law
​ According to sources familiar with the matter cited by Reuters, the State Department is considering visa restrictions targeting senior EU policymakers responsible for the legislation. A decision hasn’t been made, but discussions inside the administration intensified after a high-level meeting last week.
​  The move would directly punish foreign officials for domestic policies Washington says undermine U.S. free speech rights.
​  The EU’s DSA aims to compel tech giants to crack down on illegal content, but the Trump administration argues the policy amounts to government-driven censorship, accusing Brussels of forcing U.S. companies to muzzle American users under the guise of combating misinformation.
​  “We are monitoring increasing censorship in Europe with great concern but have no further information to provide at this time” a State Department spokesman told the Telegraph.​..
..Tensions aren’t limited to Brussels. The Trump administration has also targeted the UK’s Online Safety Act, calling it “Orwellian.”
​  During Trump’s visit to Scotland last month, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer defended the legislation, insisting London remains committed to protecting free speech while tackling online harms.
​  The debate is expected to intensify next month when Nigel Farage testifies before Congress on threats to free expression in Britain. Farage is set to highlight the case of Lucy Connolly, who was jailed for 31 months over a social media post related to the Southport attacks, before being released earlier this month.​

​  Reform’s Plan for Dealing with Illegal Migrants is a Good Start
In a recent interview with the Times, Reform leader Nigel Farage unveiled his plan for dealing with Britain’s illegal migration crisis. It involves four key elements:
​  Leaving the ECHR and suspending other relevant treaties
Banning those who arrive through irregular channels from claiming asylum
​  Moving illegal migrants from hotels and rented accommodation to disused RAF bases, and keeping them there
Striking deals with migrants’ home countries, or failing that, deporting them to third countries or British overseas territories like Ascension Island
​  Predictably, the plan has been criticised by Farage’s political opponents. One Tory MP claimed that he “is just recycling many ideas the Conservatives have already announced”. Which would be easier to take seriously if the Tories hadn’t had 14 years in government to implement some of those ideas.​

​  Why Wouldn’t This English Pub Let This Englishman In?
An Englishman walks into a pub… and the joke ends there because this one didn’t even get through the front door.
​  Why? Well because he was carrying a dangerous object that this establishment has deemed to be grounds for entry refusal.
No, it wasn’t a knife or any other weapon. It was the English flag. The Saint George’s Cross. The flag of the nation where the pub is located. The flag that adorns the kit of the England football and Rugby teams.​

  So much data here:  Review of FOI F23-1799 and BC Public Health’s Handling of COVID-19 Vaccines AEFI – Part 2​  
“HHS Senior Adviser Dr. Steven Hatfill revealed that RFK Jr. pulled mRNA funding after the data showed getting vaccinated was MORE dangerous than COVID itself.”1
​  Dr. Hatfill said,
“NO BENEFIT TO RISK RATIO for taking a messenger RNA vaccine.”
​  “It was more dangerous to take a vaccine than it was to contract COVID-19 and be hospitalized with it.”
“The side effects for this essentially gene therapy was so enormous and progressive it was difficult to fathom.”
​  “Some of the detailed biochemistry studies started to appear in the literature and the sudden flood of messenger RNA it appears irrespective of what the messenger RNA is coding for, just the sheer amount of, number of, millions of molecules of messenger RNA entering the cell is creating biochemical havoc.”
​  “It’s interfering with tumor suppressor genes.”

“IT [Covid vaccine] HAD TO BE STOPPED.”...
​..On January 28, 2025, Senator Ron Johnson subpoenaed HHS for COVID-19 vaccine safety records, including high-adverse-event lots and Dr. Anthony Fauci's communications.
​  In April 2025, reports revealed that, CDC's vaccine safety team lead, Dr. Tom Shimabukuro—implicated in concealing an 82% miscarriage rate in a NEJM studyhad records that were lost or possibly destroyed,4 prompting scrutiny from Johnson, Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and HHS watchdog Juliet Hodgkins.
​  By March 2021, U.S. regulators knew of vaccine harms but concealed themto advance mass vaccination, likely quietly halting harmful lots. BC CDC data in the "Systematic Harm Management" section below illustrates this pattern of curtailing distribution of high-AEFI lots.​

​  How the American Academy of Pediatrics Betrayed Children Everywhere,  Clayton J. Baker MD
​  In retrospect, the AAP cannot claim that they “didn’t know” enough to push for school reopening. Their July 2020 document proves they knew the correct course of action – before caving in to the establishment’s false narrative, and then subsequently devolving into just one more shameless shill organization, pushing for the mass inoculation of children with the toxic Covid mRNA injections.
​   Why would the AAP have done such a thing?
Money, for one thing. And plenty of it.
​  As the Covid vaccine push intensified, the AAP became one of the trusted legacy medical associations that was handsomely rewarded to “push vaccines and combat ‘Misinformation’.” By 2023, the year for which data is most available, the AAP was absolutely raking it in.
​  As journalist Michael Nevradakis explains:
AAP… received $34,974,759 in government grants during the 2023 fiscal year, according to the organization’s most recent tax disclosure.​

​  Meryl Nass MD,  COVID vaccine EUAs are finally gone.
​  Actually, the Biden administration issued an unjustified LICENSE for the COVID vaccine on Aug. 23, 2021 in order to impose the broad mandates, fearing they could not impose mandates legally under an EUA. Two top FDA officials were fired because they refused to approve the license without at least going through their usual processes: Marion Gruber and her deputy, Philip Krause. And Marion put it all in writing, in a memo to the acting FDA Commission, the crook Janet Woodcock.
​  COVID vaccines remain on the childhood schedule, albeit with provisos. I think they need to be removed from the childhood schedule completely, and then the liability shield for the manufacturers will go away.​
