BREAKING: Saudi Arabia is now directly cancelling crude oil cargoes for European customers after Yemen's Houthis crippled key Saudi oil infrastructures, with late-September shipments cancelled, Reuters reports.
The East-West pipeline remains offline after drone attacks last…
Saudi Arabia had a great deal: they made the US dollar into the petrodollar. This made the US dollar into the world’s reserve currency and all the United States had to do was provide security for the House of Saud.
Today, Saudi Arabia is collapsing and is actually begging Israel for help. They realized too late that the United States is a paper tiger and has no allegiance to anyone but themselves. I would say “and Israel” but that allegiance is due to bribes and blackmail with no accountability.
And then it hit me: the people of the United States are in the same predicament as Saudi Arabia. Consider:
Fiscal irresponsibility has led to a $40 trillion national debt, no budget, no accountability for expenditures and high inflation.
Do I need to go over healthcare, doctors and Big Pharma?
Do I need to go over Big Ag and a poisoned food supply?
Do I need to go over the coverup of the Epstein files?
Hunter’s laptop or Weiner’s laptop?
Funding of Antifa to cause BLM riots across the nation funded by USAID.
Voter fraud.
Two-tiered justice system.
COVID-19 pandemic and the deadly clot shot.
Endless wars.
And although I can include Ukraine, Iran, Cuba and Venezuela as other examples of treachery, the point is clear: the US government is a paper tiger that no one trusts around the world. And we are not only victims of this evil government, we are the ones who enable it by accepting selected politicians and unelected bureaucrats to continue their reign without consequences for their actions.
What is not debatable is the fact that one day, this nation will collapse economically and militarily. And when that day comes, the people of the United States will be held accountable for their crimes.

This is completely unacceptable. We have reached the point where you can purchase a television for your own home, pay for the television with your own money, put it in your living room, and discover that the damn thing may be capable of collecting information about you, your network, the devices around you, and what you are watching. An investigation by Gamers Nexus, Level1Techs, and independent security researchers found LG televisions scanning local networks for phones, smartwatches, computers, and other devices, collecting information about nearby Wi-Fi networks, location and IP information, and using Automatic Content Recognition to identify what appears on the television, including content coming through HDMI. Researchers also reported finding evidence of microphone audio being captured while a television was in standby and stored locally while offline.
LG acknowledges that its televisions can scan for compatible devices on the same network, describing this as ordinary smart-TV functionality, and says its ACR advertising feature is opt-in. Researchers nevertheless demonstrated just how much information modern televisions are technically capable of seeing around the household. LG Ad Solutions boasts of reaching hundreds of millions of “addressable secondary devices,” and LG advertising executives have used phrases such as “we own the glass” when describing the company’s relationship with the television screen. Excuse me? You sold me the glass. YOU DO NOT OWN IT AFTER I BUY IT. That mentality is precisely the problem with the modern technology industry. You think you are purchasing a product. Increasingly, corporations look at the product as a permanent doorway into your life.
This becomes infinitely more dangerous when government enters the equation. Data collected for advertising today can become enormously valuable to government tomorrow. We have already seen government agencies purchase commercially available information rather than obtain it through the traditional warrant process. We have seen police departments construct enormous searchable networks of license-plate cameras. We have watched the line between corporate data collection and government surveillance become thinner and thinner. The government does not need to install a microphone in every living room if citizens voluntarily purchase internet-connected microphones themselves.
That is why the argument “I have nothing to hide” is so incredibly foolish. Privacy is not about hiding criminal behavior. Privacy means government and corporations have no inherent right to know everything about you. What books you read, where you drive, who visits your home, what you watch, what websites you visit, what political programs you consume, and what you say inside your own living room are nobody’s damn business.
“Data collected for advertising today can become enormously valuable to government tomorrow.“
Read that again. As we all know, or at least suspect, the likelihood that President Trump will maintain the majority in the house and senate after this election is exceedingly small because so many people have decided we cannot vote our way out of this mess. That may or may not be true. What IS true is that WHEN the communists finally secure total control of our government, the above statements become etched in stone.
You need to consider what is currently spying on you:
Your damned “smart” phone.
Your TV.
Your security system.
Your vehicle, if newer. But hey, it sure is shiny.
Facebook (but I just use it to keep in touch with my grandchildren).
Twitter. Safer, for now, but not for long.
Windows operating system. Oh, Apple too.
Flock cameras (yeah, President Trump sure seems to like these… so horribly disappointed).
Amazon Echo and Google Home.
Baby monitors.
Don’t forget internet-connected appliances such as refrigerators, thermostats, and smart light bulbs collect data on your daily routines, usage patterns, and even room occupancy, while laptops and smartphones possess webcams and sensors that can be remotely accessed by malware or exploited by data-hungry apps to track location and behavior.
But hey, you’ve got nothing to hide, so why should you care?
My daughter came home from school and said, “Mum, you’re not going to believe what happened in history class today.” Her teacher told the class they were going to play a game. He walked around the room and whispered to each kid whether they were a witch or just a regular person.… pic.twitter.com/NK1RDjLEFU
MAJOR: Saudi Arabia is CANCELLING shipments of crude to Europe after the catastrophic destruction of the Saudi East-West Pipeline in recent days, paired with Ansarallah strikes against various Saudi infrastructure. https://t.co/Wfvpvm9e0F
There is something deeply strange about living a normal life when the world around you feels anything but normal.
I wake up. I go to work. I pay the bills. I pick my kids up from school. I mow my grass. I coach baseball.
I stand on a ballfield watching the boys on my ballteam play a game they love. I see parents cheering. But for a couple of hours a few days a week, life feels almost exactly the way it’s supposed to.
But then I get in my truck and see the price of gas. Today it is 4.19$ a gallon where I live.
I go to the grocery store and the amount of money that used to fill a cart barely fills a basket. How are people surviving? Tough choices are having to be made.
Then I get home and do my best to avoid the news. War. Corruption. Scandals. Debt. Inflation. Our government is more interested in protecting itself than serving the people they are supposed to represent.
But somehow the next morning, I get up and do it all over again.
I can’t quite explain it.
How do you reconcile the two realities?
How do I stand on a ballfield a few days a week knowing that our country is finished and collapsing and everything feels increasingly unstable?
People don’t want to talk about the evil we are faced with.
Maybe that’s what makes all this feel so surreal.
We are living ordinary lives inside an extraordinary period of History.
But what is even more strange is how quickly we have adapted to it.
Things that would have seemed outrageous years ago are now just background noise. Government scandals come and go. Promises are broken. Our money disappears into thin air. People are caught lying, cheating, stealing, and breaking the law and there are no consequences.
We get angry for a few days.
Then something else happens.
Then we move on.
There’s an unsettling numbness to it.
I don’t think people don’t care. I think many people care deeply. But they’re exhausted and feel minuscule.
We are too busy working. We are too busy raising children. We are too busy trying to make our mortgage payment. We are trying to keep food on the table. We are trying to put gas in our vehicles. We are trying to provide a good life for our children.
We don’t have the luxury of spending time being outraged at all the injustices we are a witness to on a daily basis.
Maybe it’s not Apathy.
Maybe it’s Survival.
But we should never become accustomed to things that should never feel normal.
There should be a point where we collectively say, “Enough!”
I don’t write much anymore and I apologize for that. I thought we would all stand together long ago and sadly we still aren’t any closer to standing up and fighting back against this evil we are faced with.
It’s frustrating.
People are so accustomed to the corruption now that we have stopped expecting better.
We have stopped caring.
We have stopped believing we can do something about it.
While the world is chaotic and evil surrounds us. I still have to raise my children. I still have to show up.
But we need not be numb to the evil that has taken over this world.
As bad as we think it is, to most people it isn’t bad at all.
What I’m getting at is, there is no voting our way out of this mess gentlemen. They are not going to give up their power and acknowledge our votes. Evil doesn’t care. The last few decades should have proven that to you. These times are no different than any other times in history in at least one respect, history will be largely written by the winners. How do you want your descendants to remember you? Make your choices now and be prepared to do your utmost to make history what you would like it to be.
A final question that we also need to answer is, are you willing to defy the system and if so, are you willing to do so up to and including giving your own life?
Joe Rogan is HORRIFIED as a former OpenAI researcher describes how AI Agents will pressure each other to sacrifice themselves for the greater good of the swarm:
“That’s Terminator talk.”
CONTEXT: This is not just a creepy hypothetical story.
“Everyone is retarded and nothing Works.” Turns out that’s the key to unlock the mystery of this particular Fourth Turning, the one here and now, of our own time. It’s an excellent theory of everything happening these days, formulated by a close colleague of mine. And as far as I know, it’s the only theory that makes sense. It explains, for example how and why consulting US attorney Joe DiGenova quit the grand jury investigation, as conducted by the DOJ in the Southern District of Florida (SDFL), of the treasonous conspiracy against the people of the USA running since 2016.
The most amazing part is that apparently no one in the country seems to give a shit about it. No politician has issued a statement. The blog-o-sphere, Twitter-sphere are mute. The President himself — the main target of the coup — was busy in Ireland this weekend. But let’s face it: he has a duty to steer clear of interfering in juridical proceedings involving himself and his office.
I believe this information is the nexus for the future. This is how China won the AI data center war. I will write my current thoughts on this in a few days. In the meantime, consider the news in the past week (and longer) to form your own conclusions and questions.
China has won the AI race by a wide margin. The AI bubble has burst.
Yesterday, all AI bosses agreed to slow the pace of development and want the government to help.
Why? Because China announced a super mega giga data center in Inner Mongolia.
BREAKING: President Trump rejects calls for AI safety and says the only "control" that AI needs is a "strong and smart president."
"There is a sick conspiracy going on against AI and data centers, and the only one that is happy about it is China," Trump says. pic.twitter.com/TlJlXEGd3C
