So, basically, 500 million Europeans
expect 300 million Americans to
protect them from 120 million
Russians who can't even defeat 40
million Ukrainians while those 500
million Europeans don't even realize
they are being conquered by 2 billion
Muslims who claim they are being
persecuted by 8 million Israelis. seems
about right?
starmer has become a stopped clock. he was correct for once;
Remember when former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told President Trump the Canadian government could not continue its economic policy if the United States demanded they become self-sufficient.
One of the key reasons cited by Trudeau was the Canadian dependence on the USA for defense. Canada simply could not spend the amount of money needed to create their own military at a level required for independent defense and simultaneously follow their govt spending plan. Canada relied on the U.S. military as their defense strategy...........more............

Few things scare Americans more than waking up to find their bank accounts emptied.
Last week, Axios published a report with these frightening sentences:
AI agents are becoming a nightmare for America’s banks, making their way into banking systems faster than financial institutions can respond.… The rapid pace of AI advancement is becoming a security nightmare for America’s financial institutions.
That was part of a news report that claims American banks are discovering AI agents “attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions.” In some instances, Axios reports, AI agents have contacted call centers without instructions from users to do so.
There is an important note needed here. Humans are giving AI assistants permission and login credentials to access bank accounts. One example is the payment company Stripe allowing businesses to connect assistants such as ChatGPT and Claude to check balances, pay invoices, move money between accounts, and convert currencies.
Not surprisingly, this has added to the growing list of AI risks, which, if half the stories circulating on the internet are true, is one that is growing perilously long.
The American Banker reported this example of an AI going rogue while in an account:..........more.............
larry johnson brings you poland in its current political crisis;
The midnight brawl at Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal is not a Polish problem. It is the local flare-up of a continental disease. Across Europe, when voters pick the wrong candidate, the establishment reaches for a judge, an intelligence service or the EU’s checkbook, and calls the result “defending democracy.” The Journal of Democracy wrote the textbook. Warsaw is the teaching hospital.
In December 2023, two months after Donald Tusk’s coalition pushed Law and Justice (PiS) out of power, Jarosław Kuisz and Karolina Wigura of Kultura Liberalna published a how-to guide in the Journal of Democracy. The title says it all: “How to Dismantle an Illiberal Democracy.”
Consider the provenance. At the time, the Journal was the flagship publication of the National Endowment for Democracy, the outfit that does in daylight what the CIA used to do at night. It split from NED this year after DOGE cut off NED’s funding in 2025, and it is now independent and partnered with Stanford’s CDDRL. In 2023, though, this was the democracy-promotion establishment telling Warsaw how to clean house.
The argument, stripped of its footnotes:..........more.........
bibi won, and it doesn't foretell well for the near east or the rest of us either;
Today,…. Netanyahu emerges as leader of the largest bloc, representing the true, honest, full face of genocidal Zionism that doesn’t hide. “Liberal” illusions that this genocidal settler society is waiting to have its “democracy” “saved” are shattered.(Bernie) Sanders, (Ed) Miliband and other apologists for this regime will have to learn that that the problem is not Netanyahu but the very entity he leads, built on mass murder and mass destruction of Palestine’s people. Ali Abunimah, X
Every six months you hear ‘The polls say Netanyahu is on his way out; the polls say Netanyahu is on his way out.” Every six months you hear that. (But) he’s the longest sitting prime minister in Israeli history. Why? He’s a self-righteous, obnoxious, Jewish supremacist and, guess what, he is the perfect reflection of Israeli society. He is. That’s why they keep voting for him. They don’t vote for his platform. They vote for him. When they look at Netanyahu, they see themselves. That’s a fact. Norman Finkelstein, Dr Msm, X (2:05 min)
Yesterday’s elections in Israel were a referendum on Netanyahu’s annihilation of Gaza and his plan to demolish Iran. A clear majority of Israelis support those policies and trust that Netanyahu will “finish the job”. In a speech he delivered on Tuesday to Likud party members and other supporters, the Prime Minister thanked the people who helped him to remain in office as caretaker prime minister until a coalition government can be formed. Here’s part of what he said:..........more.........
