THE BIG PICTURE

Top-Down Solutions Don’t Work – “Look at simple things like laws: speeding laws, laws against theft, laws against rape, and murder—all things people believe are absolutely necessary in a sane and decent culture. And as things are now (and for the most part always have been) these laws are indeed necessary to keep the community safe and functioning. But they do nothing at all to cure the indecency, suffering, and drive to commit atrocious crimes. Or even simple crimes” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

Dialog, Polymarket & Palantir – “The Room Where It Happens. And What They’re Planning. I covered Dialog earlier this year. Called it what it is. Hardly anyone was listening. A data leak has a way of changing that. Twenty years. No website. No member list. No record of what was discussed inside. Just Peter Thiel’s private planning society, gathering quietly, year after year, among people who described their own purpose as wanting to “implement the plans we develop.” Not discuss. Implement. Now they have your attention. What Is Dialog Dialog was co-founded in 2006 by Peter Thiel, Palantir chairman, PayPal co-founder, early Facebook investor and data entrepreneur Auren Hoffman. It describes itself as an off-the-record forum for executives, elected officials, and academics. Media comparisons to Bilderberg and the World Economic Forum are frequent and deliberate. Like those bodies, Dialog has spent two decades cultivating the appearance of irrelevance while operating at the highest levels of global influence.” – Sir Escanor (𝘏𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘶𝘮 𝘚𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘦𝘳)

The parasite class is prepping for a future they helped create. How many others are seeing it? – “Powerful people are privately gaming out AI disruption, war, cults, social breakdown, and survival, while the public is told to trust the system.” – Collapse Life

It Begins: Israel To Host World’s First Official International Congress Of Noahides To Install Global Courts Of Law, Resulting In Persecution Of All Believers In Jesus Christ – “This November, the most committed Noahide leaders from around the globe will gather in Jerusalem — to formally found, together, the World Noahide movement.” – The WinePress

Yet MORE Churches Torched; Sustained Attack On Christianity Gathers Pace – “Two French heritage sites ravaged as Christian landmarks face relentless targeting and official indifference” – Steve Watson

Making ‘Political’ Sense Out of the World – “The America I love is the America of the Declaration and the Constitution, and the America that allowed a ‘little person’ like myself from a lower middle class family struggling to make ends meet to attend the finest educational establishments on offer. However, the America of the Declaration and Constitution, which represented an Ideal, was soon transgressed and distorted into something far beyond recognition. ” – NewZealandDoc  – VERY GOOD READ FROM THE NZ DOC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Most Probable Immediate Future in the Middle East Will Satisfy Few – “Thoughts on the Memorandum of Understanding between the US and Iran. Enough of the US Empire’s ruling oligarchy has decided that the Strait of Hormuz must reopen, and remain open, to force Trump to go around Israel and make enough of a deal with Iran to do that thing. Israel will, of course, try its best to sabotage it by inflicting atrocities on Lebanese and Palestinian civilians. Iran will eventually retaliate forcibly against Israel. Netanyahu will be inclined to gamble that he can force the US back into the war, but the odds are against him. Chances are Trump, and the AIPAC-dominated Congress, will continue to funnel money and weapons to Israel. The genocidal Zionist bastards will keep massacring Arabs, and Iran will keep pummeling Israel, but the oil and the urea and stuff will continue to flow.” – Ohio Barbarian

The Iran Fiasco’s Silver Lining: Trump, Bibi & The Neocons Got Their Clocks Cleaned – “If you don’t think the Donald inhabits an alternative universe—just set your mandibles loose to chomp on his most recent missive. According to history’s most gifted practitioner of the Art of the Deal, only one thing really counts with respect to his Paperless Invite for Iran to join yet another round of negotiations: Namely, making good on their pledge to “never, ever” get a nuke, which they never, ever, ever actually had or had even pursued:” – David Stockman

Trump’s art of the debacle – “This defeat of U.S. imperial power is on par with the shame of the Vietnam War.” – Finian Cunningham

US planning war-ready weapons stockpile in Australia – AFP – “Military cooperation between Washington and Canberra is destabilizing the Asia-Pacific Region, China has warned” -RT  – TIME TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE. CHINA, CUBA, WHO MIGHT IT BE!!!

Why’s Trump Preparing To “Escalate To De-Escalate” With Russia? – “He feels personally insulted by Putin rejecting his proposal to freeze the conflict in exchange for a resource-centric strategic partnership and also, whether one agrees with him or not, senses weakness after the US built a “cordon sanitaire” around Russia over the past year.” – Andrew Korybko

Vance’s Dishonest Diplomatic Spin – “Vance is trying to spin U.S.-Israeli aggression as having been successful in delivering something that it absolutely did not deliver.” – Daniel Larison

This Is The Trigger That Could Shred The Memorandum Of Understanding And Cause All-Out War To Erupt In The Middle East – “I cannot understand the people that are dancing around and celebrating the “memorandum of understanding” now that we have the full text of the agreement. The status of the war in Lebanon is covered in the very first point of the “memorandum of understanding”… Iranian officials believe that this makes it very clear that the IDF must leave Lebanon. U.S. and Israeli officials are convinced that the document does not say that at all. Of course Israel has not consented to anything and is not a party to this agreement.” – Michael Snyder

What the Iran-U.S. MoU is all about – “From Tehran’s point of view, that’s a whole new ball game. They survived everything that not one, but two nuclear powers threw at them. They have no trust whatsover about anything coming from Barbaria.” – Pepe Escobar

Israeli foreign agent took over The Charlie Kirk Show days after his killing – “Charlie Kirk’s media empire and his right-wing activist organization, Turning Point USA (TPUSA), have come under the control of the Israel-directed forces he spent his last months antagonizing” – Max Blumenthal

“The Impact was Devastating”: Chicago’s Cross Burning Found to be Set by Liberal, Anti-Trump Protester – “After the Southern Poverty Law Center scandal of actually funding and encouraging racist protests, it appears that at least one individual has created his own orchestrated racist incident. In Chicago (where Jussie Smollett committed his infamous racist hoax), a burning cross was denounced by Mayor Brandon Johnson as a sign of the racism in society. Johnson, however, refused to address the fact that the cross burning was actually the work of an anti-Trump liberal student. University of Illinois senior Merlin Lu said it was never intended as a racist symbol, but the question is whether it could still be charged as a hate crime.” – Jonathan Turley

 

 

ECONOMIC NEWS

The Kevin Warsh Era Begins – “At first, the June announcement from the Federal Open Market Committee that there would be no change in the federal funds rate seemed right in line with Wall Street expectations. This was exactly what Wall Street had priced in weeks ago. On the rate announcement, Wall Street was not disappointed. Then newly-minted Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh opened up his mouth, and it was that moment when the markets started heading south, dropping nearly 600 points over the course of the post-FOMC presser, a performance that surely had former Fed Chairman Jay “Too Little, Too Late” Powell downright jealous. What did Kevin Warsh say that spooked the markets? Change.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Warsh’s First Test Isn’t Rates. It’s Real Assets. – “The Fed held rates steady, but Warsh’s language on inflation, liquidity, and the balance sheet matters more for hard assets.” – Nomi Prins

‘WARSH-INGTON’: A Fed Under Stress – “Hawk by instinct. Dove by orders. Stagflation by surprise. what the new Chair means for stocks, bonds, gold & cash.” – The Macro Butler

New Fed Chair, New Market Risks for Gold and Silver – Craig Hemke

Namewashing and Empty Suits After all, bubbles are filled with gas. In December 2017, a company that sold iced tea out of Long Island, New York announced it would be called Long Blockchain Corp. It kept making iced tea. It owned no blockchain, ran no nodes, employed no cryptographers. It changed a few words on a press release. The market got drunk on Long Island iced tea that day as the stock closed up 183%. That’s some strong tea. That these companies receive new money, and that their stock prices go up, is evidence that many people are gambling rather than investing in productive enterprises.” – John Hunt, MD

6 CIA Survival Tricks You Need to Know ASAP – Jack

Balancing Preparedness With Contentment In The Present – “Preparedness attracts a certain kind of person. It calls to the man who notices weak points, to the mother who thinks ahead, and to the family that would rather act now than regret later. That instinct is healthy. In uncertain times, a pantry, a water plan, and a few hard-earned skills are signs of responsibility. But preparedness carries its own danger when it is not kept in order.” – Alec Deacon
