america.gov is changing how you vote;
At three in the morning a government website showed me a countdown clock with nine hours and twelve minutes remaining. A ticking clock on a .gov in the dead of night can only mean a handful of things, and none of them are the kind you feel good about, because governments do not build suspense around something they haven’t already completed. So when the most powerful bureaucracy on earth puts up a countdown and a page that peels back at the corner like a birthday card, it means somebody in a room somewhere decided that the launch of a federal website needed the emotional architecture of a product drop. That alone was enough of a red flag. But then I saw the lineup of the salesmen...........more.............
one of the many ways you know that you have no useful, viable government;
The Department of Homeland Security arrested an illegal alien earlier this month — a man the agency said had been released by local authorities in Virginia after sexually assaulting minors.
In a Wednesday news release, DHS stated that Democrat-dominated Fairfax County had refused to honor a detainer on Oscar Evaristo Nunez in 2025, despite his having been “charged with child sex crimes.”
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials arrested Nunez, who is from Honduras, on Sept. 15 during a “targeted enforcement operation,” the release states.
Nunez was initially arrested and charged back in August 2025 with aggravated sexual battery, two counts of filming/videotaping of an undressed minor, and two counts of aggravated sexual battery of a victim under 13 years old, according to the release.
ICE logged a detainer for Nunez with the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center two days after his arrest. Fairfax County refused to honor the detainer and released Nunez back onto the streets without telling federal authorities, the release states.
Nunez is expected to remain in ICE custody until his immigration proceedings...........more..........
larry johnson gives us a reality check on the world's fuel situation;
Once again I am indebted to Karl W. Miller, whose analysis of the energy crisis unleashed by the war with Iran has become essential reading for me. Karl has a habit of seeing around corners. He anticipated the Houthi push in southern Yemen back in July, well before it made headlines, and his recent work on the global diesel shortage and the Gulf’s “double hit” has shaped much of what I have written here. His latest forward outlook, “The Gulf Restart Trap,” dated September 28, may be his most important yet. What follows is my summary of his findings.
The world is waiting for the moment the Strait of Hormuz reopens and the Gulf’s oil begins to flow again. Karl argues that this moment will be widely misread. The first tanker to load, or the first refinery unit to restart, will not mark the end of the crisis. The Gulf states are trying to rebuild their energy systems in an active conflict zone. Major reconstruction will take years, and any new attack can destroy completed work, close export routes and force contractors to leave before permanent repairs are finished. Miller’s conclusion is blunt: the world must plan for a prolonged energy supply crisis. For the most severely damaged facilities, he estimates the repair cycle could run as long as five years, and longer still if renewed attacks interrupt the work.
The problem, he stresses, is not money. The Gulf states have capital. What they cannot buy on demand are replacement machinery, specialist crews, secure transport and stable operating conditions........more..........
the last people's president we had was jfk. all since then have been tightening the noose;
Instead of dismantling the vast and largely unconstitutional federal machinery, the Trump administration is increasingly digitizing it.
The sales pitch is convenience.
On Tuesday, President Donald Trump launched America.gov, an AI-powered, chatbot-style portal designed to turn thousands of federal websites into a single, user-friendly interface. Or, in the administration’s newly adopted terminology, it is powered by “Super Intelligence.”
The site uses “industry-leading artificial intelligence tools,” with Google Public Sector among the technology partners behind the portal.
America.gov is eventually supposed to connect federal services through a common login and let Americans complete government transactions from one place.
The front end could be remarkably useful.
The back end deserves much closer scrutiny.
It points toward an infrastructure capable of linking vast amounts of information about individual Americans through a common identity and service layer, creating detailed profiles that could be used for scoring, surveillance, targeting, or other forms of abuse. Perhaps not surprisingly, the model perfectly mirrors the emerging architecture of “digital government” promoted by the United Nations.

The Demise of the American Nation.

moscow closes its door;
Lavrov made the position explicit in New York on September 23. Speaking to a Security Council meeting on Ukraine, he said: “Having learned from bitter experience, we will not pause the special military operation for the period of negotiations in any format.” He said European countries wanted a pause to buy time to replenish Ukraine’s depleted arsenals. He dismissed a pre-agreement ceasefire as not serious and insisted that the goal is a long-term settlement.
The timing made it a direct rebuff. That same day, Ukraine and 51 supporters released a statement demanding that Russia accept an immediate and unconditional ceasefire so talks could begin. Its signatories included the EU and its member states, the UK, Canada and Australia. Ukraine’s foreign minister, Andrii Sybiha, noted that 14 of the 15 Security Council members had backed ceasefire proposals in one form or another, leaving Russia alone.
Lavrov went further than ceasefire mechanics. He said Ukraine would have kept its 1991 borders if the Europeans had not “engaged in their shenanigans.” That frames the loss of Ukrainian territory as permanent and places the blame on Europe. It is not the language of a government preparing to negotiate over the lines of control.......more..........
mr peters is mildly concerned about the next five weeks;
It’s just over a month until the midterms elections. Normally, the result would be a change of guard and nothing more. But these are not normal times due to the abnormal man who plunged this nation into a war that has already had catastrophic economic consequences and that will soon have political consequences even more catastrophic.
Almost anything could happen between now and early November.
One thing that is likely to happen is an escalation of the war. People who know something about war – such as Col. Doug MacGregor – believe the current lull is just that, a temporary pause before a major resumption – a go for broke attempt to win the war that Israel and its Golem-proxy (that’s the United States) have lost so far.
The abnormal man openly talks of “annihilation” and total civilizational destruction, which all-but-says the “N” word. That this man was not netted and taken to a mental hospital is a barometer of the abnormality of our time. MacGregor says the Golem-proxy (the United States) does not have the army or the conventional power to achieve the win the abnormal man so badly needs to salve his sense of himself as the Greatest Field Commander of All Times (to borrow an honorific bestowed by Wilhelm Keitel upon the Austrian corporal, who – in his defense – actually did conquer most of Western Europe). The abnormal man is no Austrian corporal, much as he probably likes to think of himself as the latter entering his hometown of Linz after the Anschluss........more.............

once again poor ole israel is suffering under worldwide anti semitism. satanyahu aims to solve that for us all;
Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to the United Nations General Assembly last week sounded more like a speech marking the end of an era than one opening a new chapter. Perhaps behind it was an awareness that this could be the last time he stands on that podium as Israel’s Prime Minister.
With the approach of Israel’s elections, set for October 27, Netanyahu’s political future has become inseparable from the way he addresses Israelis and the world. Yet his speech appeared directed primarily at his electoral audience at home, with little regard for the international community.
Netanyahu did not come to New York to offer a new political vision, propose a way out of the war, or present a vision for the region’s future. He came above all to defend his standing in Israel and his conduct of the war, while recasting Israel from a state facing growing international criticism into a purported victim confronting a hostile world. The question was thus turned on its head: instead of asking what Israel was doing to Palestinians and to the region, the focus became what the world was doing to Israel..........more...........

really, what could go wrong. and its a no fault of course;
From Grok playing the devil’s advocate:
The accord is a short, voluntary, “morally binding” statement with no new statutes, no penalties, no independent government inspectorate, and no requirement that any finding be made public. That structure creates several predictable failure modes.
Companies have strong financial incentives to under-report problems. Internal monitoring and the internal “check the checkers” team both live inside the same organization racing to ship the next model. An external auditor paid by the company and an “independent” board committee selected by the existing board can become rubber stamps, especially when the same executives sit on multiple labs’ boards or share investors. Similar self-policing arrangements in finance, social media content moderation, and aviation safety have repeatedly produced delayed disclosure, revolving-door auditors, and findings that only surface after harm occurs.
The four layers also assume the companies can actually detect the risks they list—cyber, bio, chemical, unintended system access. Current frontier models already exhibit unexpected capabilities and alignment failures that their own developers did not anticipate. If the next jump in capability is large and fast, the monitoring systems built on today’s models may simply be obsolete. Competitive pressure and the U.S.–China framing make it costly for any single firm to pause or disclose a serious issue if rivals keep scaling.
Coverage is incomplete. The signatories are a handful of large labs. Open-source developers, smaller startups, foreign labs, and anyone who fine-tunes or deploys the models later sit outside the accord. Even among signatories, “frontier” is undefined, so a company can argue a new system is not covered. Regular meetings among the firms to set shared standards can look like coordination on safety or like a cartel that raises barriers for newcomers while leaving the hardest problems unsolved.
Finally, the document itself notes that these steps “may” later become law. That language can function as a delay tactic: the appearance of action substitutes for binding rules while capabilities continue to grow. If a serious incident occurs, the public will learn after the fact that the four layers were advisory, the auditors were selected by the audited, and no one had the authority to compel a shutdown. Those are the classic weaknesses of industry self-regulation when the downside is large and the upside of racing is enormous...........more............

hawley confronts smith and fun ensues;
Earlier today, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley released explosive whistleblower documents showing how former Special Prosecutor Jack Smith demanded the records of donors to President Trump from December 2019 through August 2023. [Press Release Here] – [Donor Records Here]
Records provided to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) via legally protected whistleblower disclosures reveal Smith’s team acquired at least 4,782 checks from Americans who made mainly small-dollar donations to President Trump between September 2019 to August 2023. The checks reveal the donors’ home addresses, bank account and routing numbers, and signatures.
Smith’s team acquired the checks as part of its “Arctic Frost” election case against President Trump, allowing the Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to gain access to nearly 5,000 Americans’ highly sensitive information, including 42 Iowans. There may be additional subpoena returns that include more donor checks. Whistleblower records show the checks were routed to former FBI Special Agent Walter Giardina. (more)

it begins in britain, of course, in the 'you'll own nothing and be happy' campaign. how long till they do it here you might wonder;
Britain has decided that leaving your own property empty for six months may now be sufficient reason for the government to begin taking control of it. Housing Secretary Angela Rayner has announced that councils in England will be given expanded powers under Empty Dwelling Management Orders, reducing the qualifying period from TWO YEARS to just SIX MONTHS. The government will also remove requirements that councils demonstrate matters such as anti-social behavior or community support before seeking an order. They call this bringing empty homes “back into use.” I call it another erosion of the basic principle that private property belongs to the person who paid for it.
Let us be precise because the government is not technically confiscating ownership of the house. Under an EDMO, the title remains with the owner, and there are exemptions, including where the property is normally someone’s primary residence and that person is temporarily absent. But the state can take over management of a qualifying privately owned property and put it back into occupation. Ownership without the right to decide who occupies your property and when is becoming a rather interesting definition of ownership..............more...........
pepe escobar says all hell is about to break loose;
The sociopath President of the United States completely disregarded the Chinese solution to end the Iran drama, presented in person at the White House by President Xi Jinping this past Thursday.
Essentially, Xi told Trump that the off-ramp is right in front of him: go back to the serially killed dead cat, the memorandum of understanding (MoU), signed and then blown up by Trump. China, said Xi, is ready to fully support this return to diplomacy.
Predictably, the sociopath refuted not only Xi’s offering but also the Iranian 7-day, step-by-step proposal for a return to negotiations, presented by Foreign Minister Araghchi in New York.
The combo should actually be seen as the China-Iran proposal: a set of Final Terms, finely tuned up by Araghchi and Wang Yi in two subsequent meetings, at the BRICS in New Delhi and then in Beijing.
Trump not only rejected the peace offer but bragged – to roars of global laughter – that the United States has “total control” of the “Strait of Trump”.
Trump’s snub has seriously annoyed both Wang Yi and President Xi. In Asian culture, that translates as the worst form of losing face: the dismissal of a recommendation officially made by the highest level of government............more............
larry johnson presents evidence of a coming diesel shortage here in the empire;
On paper, the United States should be the world’s safety valve in this fuel crisis. American refineries make far more diesel than Americans burn. But every one of those barrels is already spoken for. Between rising domestic demand, heavy export commitments and refineries running near their limit, the U.S. is drawing down its own stocks, not sitting on a surplus. And as Karl W. Miller shows in his latest assessment, dated September 29, the shock from the Gulf hits the world’s fuel supply twice: it starves refineries abroad of crude and removes finished fuel from the Gulf’s own refineries. America has no spare diesel to offer a world that has lost 1.6 million barrels a day of diesel exports from the Gulf and Russia combined. Until finished-fuel supply recovers, the gap will be closed by higher prices, less economic activity, or both.
The double hit from the Gulf
Miller’s September 29 assessment explains why the diesel shortage is worse than crude figures alone suggest. The Gulf shock hits world fuel supply through two separate channels at once.
The first is feedstock. When Gulf crude exports are disrupted, refineries in Asia, Europe and Africa lose the barrels they were set up to run. Replacement crudes can work, but not necessarily at the same yield, throughput or cost, because refinery units and hydrogen supply are configured around particular crudes. Miller’s rule of thumb is that every million barrels a day of crude that isn’t replaced means 300,000 to 500,000 b/d less diesel and jet fuel overseas...........more..............

china can do this, which we can't, as the orange man was offering china the purchase of some weapon systems. the empire is operating on memories and not skills;
China’s reusable spaceplane the Shenlong has demonstrated a sophisticated sequence of orbital manoeuvres involving the repeated release, pursuit and recapture of a small satellite, providing new evidence of the vehicle’s ability to conduct rendezvous and proximity operations in space. Tracking data indicate that the spacecraft released the same object in June, retrieved it approximately three weeks later, released it again in August and then manoeuvred back towards it for another apparent capture in September. The activity was identified by astrophysicist and spaceflight analyst Jonathan McDowell using U.S. Space Force tracking data.
The Shenlong, meaning ‘Divine Dragon,’ is a reusable, winged spacecraft launched vertically on a rocket before returning to Earth and landing on a runway, broadly analogous in concept to the U.S. X-37B. China’s government has provided very limited information regarding the objectives of the missions, describing the program in general terms as an experimental reusable spacecraft intended to support peaceful space applications. The spacecraft’s latest mission began on February 6, when it was launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre aboard a Long March 2F rocket. It is the fourth known orbital mission of the vehicle. The first mission, launched in 2020, lasted only a few days, while the second mission remained in orbit for approximately nine months from August 2022 to May 2023. The third mission, launched in December 2023, similarly remained in orbit for roughly nine months before returning in September 2024..........more...........
a question needing an answer in this age of the aggressive trump;
By any standard of morality, Trump is depraved. But adorned with the power of the state, he descends to another level — the level of evil.
Donald Trump exhibits the classic traits of psychopaths — superficial charm, grandiosity and self-importance, a need for constant stimulation, a penchant for lying, deception and manipulation and incapacity for remorse or guilt.
But is he evil?
If, as the philosopher Susan Nieman writes, evil is not simply the opposite of good but inimical to it, if the aim of evil is to destroy all moral distinctions, then Trump qualifies as evil. Morality, for Trump, is for losers. All life is transactional. Self-interest and self-enrichment usurp all other considerations. No one else matters.
In her new book, “Call It Evil: Understanding the Trump Era,” Neiman argues that evil “isn’t cruelty but something much worse: the ideas that allow cruelty to become ordinary.”
She continues:.........more..........
immigration as imagined by a few democrats;
Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL), who has declared herself a “proud anchor baby,” is not the first Democrat to introduce legislation that would abolish the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. But her Reimagining Safety Act is the most comprehensive. Voters should pay close attention to its details because they offer a preview of how Democrats could reshape immigration enforcement if they win control of Congress this November.
Unlike Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), who has introduced legislation that would dissolve ICE over 12 months and then create a commission to recommend how its functions should be handled, Ramirez’s Reimagining Safety Act dismantles the entire Department of Homeland Security, ending some functions entirely and moving others to different departments.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency and customs functions would be placed in the newly established Department of Community Safety, while the Transportation Security Administration and Coast Guard would go to the Transportation Department. ICE and Customs and Border Protection would be eliminated. Aside from moving customs enforcement to the new Department of Community Safety, none of the functions performed by ICE or CBP would any longer be performed by the federal government. All of the money appropriated for ICE and CBP would be redirected to social services.
Would such a world without borders be good for Americans? Ramirez doesn’t say and obviously doesn’t care. She flat-out said last year, “I am proudly Guatemalan before I am American.”
Voters should treat the Reimagining Safety Act as a preview, not a thought experiment. Abolishing ICE means abolishing the border. That is the future Democrats want. They don’t like America and are proposing laws that would, in practical terms, expunge it.............https://www.amren.com/news/2026/09/this-is-what-democrats-immigration-policy-would-be/
color revolutions courtesy of the empire;
It’s rather forgotten today how Washington’s post-9/11 imperial adventurism was not restricted to military intervention. A core component of the Bush administration’s “Freedom Agenda” – under the auspices of which calamitous wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere were waged – was overt sponsorship of civil society-led coups throughout the former Soviet Union, Warsaw Pact and Yugoslavia. Citizens of these regions, and the world, live with this meddling’s destructive consequences to this day. The seemingly never-ending – and ever-escalating – Ukraine proxy war is a particularly visceral legacy.
The 1983 creation of the National Endowment for Democracy, a US state entity avowedly concerned with executing overtly what the CIA once did covertly, ushered in a new era of “spyless coups”. Working in close conjunction with USAID and George Soros’ Open Society Institute, NED ever after provided funding, training and material assistance to NGOs, ‘independent’ media outlets, opposition groups, and other initiatives in service of regime change, across every corner of the world.
Come 9/11, NED and its confederates had devised a supremely cunning, cost-effective template for toppling troublesome governments – be they left-wing, nationalist, or even former US puppets who’d stepped out of line. The previous October, longtime Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic was brought down in what the Washington Post bombastically dubbed “an extraordinary US effort to unseat a foreign head of state, not through covert action of the kind the CIA once employed in such places as Iran and Guatemala, but by modern election campaign techniques.”..........more..........
pcr on 'trust the science';
Remember “Trust the Science?” Well, it wasn’t science and the consequence of trusting it was fatal for many.
Paul Craig Roberts
During the hoax “Covid pandemic” I warned that the “vaccine” was more dangerous and deadly than the virus. A number of independent medical scientists issued the same warning. US Senator Ron Johnson held hearings trying to get the truth out. All was to no avail. The well organized Covid propaganda was too powerful and overwhelmed the truth. The result was a high number of deaths and health injuries from the “vaccine” and wrongful treatment. People who trusted authorities were deceived in the interest of Big Pharma profits.
Now we have in Canada the Allison Inquiry into the vaccine and the conclusion that it was the “biggest health policy mistake in Canadian history at best, or crime against humanity at worst.”
