Voters get two parties, one unfinished war and a $2 trillion deficit. Whoever wins on November 3 inherits a $1 trillion interest bill, a choked Strait of Hormuz and a bond market that never asked for their vote. 

By Fred Gransville

Every election season the television tells me this is the most important vote of my life. I have heard it so often that it now sounds like a smoke alarm in a building that has been quietly burning since 2001. This year the slogan collides with arithmetic. The numbers that will set what you pay for diesel, a mortgage and a loaf of bread are not on your ballot.

Here is where things stand, four days before Tuesday, November 3. The United States and Israel have been at war with Iran for eight months, and a tanker was hit by explosive devices in the Strait of Hormuz this very morning.^[1] WTI crude trades above $100 a barrel, against a pre-war range of $60 to $70.^[2] The ten-year Treasury yield hovers near 5 percent, two Federal Reserve officials want to raise rates, and Congress went home to campaign with a $67 billion war funding request still in the drawer.^[3][4]

Every CEO talking about "safe AI" depends on a colossal mathematical fraud—the illusion that if an AI model clears a thousand safety tests one day, it will do so the next.

They depend on Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA)—a fancy corporate mathematics that calculates the costs of accidents for insurance companies. And they imagine that every deployment is merely another roll of the dice—six-sided dice, in this case. But extinction risks from Frontier AI are not dice rolls. They are non-ergodic processes.

In simple English: Extinction is not an average.

Your AI Safety Lab Has a Business Model — and It's the Same One Big Tobacco Used. The Six Artificial Intelligence Risk/Dangers Mathematical Concepts the AI Frontier Labs Do Not Want You to Read and Learn.

No single cigarette is going to give you metastasized melanoma and lung cancer during your drive. This is proof that Cigarettes and Hot Coffee and doing 80 are all “SAFE.”

One needs to go beyond the safety studies conducted by firms and analyze the six to seven laws of mathematics which are at the core of such systems, where one understands that in the case of a systemic failure in view of non-ergodicity, ruin-absorbing barrier, Goodhart’s law, and fat-tail Black Swan, it is total destruction. The Tech Oligarch's are using the Fallacy of the Average and The Point of New Return to Shoot Craps with the Entire Human Race.

These are the Business Models of Artificial Intelligence:

Air Force Major Jason Watson will face a general court martial

By Mark Aurelius

Kyle Kulinski, a YouTube podcaster, regularly focuses on important topics worthy of a listen (mostly against Republicans) but who can be blunt to a street-level of vulgarity (still he’s better than some seemingly naïve leftist, Democrat-backing, youtuber tattle-tales who maniacally report on anything seemingly sensational for their click-bait frenzies—especially if related to the Trump White House) has recently put out a report that should be a shell-shocker for true patriots!

MAJOR BREAKING: Trump T*RTURES US SOLDIER For Calling For His Impeachment!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5LMfoeB1eU

Kulinski:

“… this story right here is not getting anywhere near the attention that it deserves. There's a US Air Force major, Jason Watson, and this guy was very brave and he basically came out in favor of Donald Trump's impeachment. Okay? And that in return has now led to Donald Trump effectively having this guy tortured. I'm not kidding. That's what's happening. So, let's listen and then we'll break it down.”

Stalin’s grain seizures starved millions in Ukraine and Kazakhstan, and the same playbook produced execution quotas, Mao’s famine and Cambodia’s torture prison. A Tea Party reading of the history behind Mamdani’s beanies and Sanders’s revolution.

By Mason Ford  |  October 2026

If men were angels, no government would be necessary.  — James Madison, Federalist No. 51

Red Beanies, a Rent Freeze and a Promise of Bread

On New Year’s Day 2026, Zohran Mamdani took the oath as mayor of New York with Bernie Sanders administering it. Mamdani vowed to govern as a democratic socialist, and a crowd in red DSA beanies answered with a chant of “Tax the rich!” Nobody in that crowd carried a quota sheet. They carried rent complaints.

The first promise arrived fast. On June 25 the city’s Rent Guidelines Board voted 7–1 to freeze rents on roughly a million stabilized apartments, with two-year leases frozen for the first time in the board’s history. The mayor had appointed six of its nine members. A landlord representative quit that morning and said the outcome was settled in advance, and Mamdani says the board is independent. I note the appointments the way a farmer notes the first frost. It proves nothing about the winter, but it tells you the season.

Inside the Kushner-Witkoff money trail: Saudi-funded Affinity Partners, World Liberty Financial, Gulf oil-and-peace deals and a Trump family crypto haul Reuters puts at $2.3 billion, documented from January 2025 to October 22, 2026

By Fred Gransville | October, 2026

Donald Trump never said the words in that headline. What he has said, repeatedly, is that Republicans win when he is on the ballot and lose when he is not, so voters should act as though he were. That is a tidy instruction from a man whose name appears nowhere on the November 3 ballot. Twelve days out, the more honest ballot would carry a different name, belonging to the man who married his daughter.

Jared Kushner took the title of special envoy for peace missions in February 2026. He also owns Affinity Partners, a Miami private equity firm that reported more than $6 billion in assets this spring, about 99 percent of it from non-U.S. investors. He negotiates with Iran and Russia, stands beside Israel, and works alongside the Gulf monarchies whose sovereign funds keep filling his firm's ledger.

The riots saw looting and arson that prompted partial curfews in multiple cities. The alert stated that following the October 17 violent riots, the Prime Minister’s office introduced partial curfews for Monday, October 19, and Tuesday, October 20, in several cities, including Lille. It added that more curfews may follow for parts of Paris and in prefectures across the country, and that scattered protests could continue. Americans were told to avoid demonstration areas, exercise caution if they unexpectedly find themselves near large gatherings, check the RATP site for Metro closures, verify flight schedules with airlines, monitor local media for updates, and plan alternative routes while allowing extra travel time.

The Belgian city of Liège has banned unauthorized public gatherings of more than three people following a week of violent ‘student’ protests that have mirrored the riots sweeping neighbouring France. The emergency order, imposed by Socialist mayor Willy Demeyer, took effect on Thursday, 8 October, and will remain in force until 16 October, as authorities struggle to contain arson, vandalism and attacks on police. By Thursday morning, Liège police had recorded 194 arrests, including 114 minors, and 43 injured officers since the unrest began on 1 October. Of those detained, 158 were administrative arrests and 36 were criminal arrests. The protests have followed a remarkably similar trajectory to those garnering significant international attention in France. Initially organized around secondary schools, demonstrations against education reforms quickly escalated into street violence as masked groups moved into commercial districts, set fire to blockades and attacked police. In Liège, the first protests began on 1–2 October before intensifying dramatically earlier this week.

Insurance costs for ships transporting oil across the Black Sea have surged from approximately $200,000 to $2.5 million per vessel in recent months, increasing crude transportation costs and putting additional pressure on fuel prices in Bulgaria, according to the manager overseeing Lukoil's operations in the country, local media reported.

Evgeni Simeonov, Lukoil's special commercial manager in Bulgaria, told Bulgarian National Television on Monday that the increase reflects mounting risks to commercial shipping following repeated attacks on vessels and port infrastructure.

The figures represent a 12.5-fold increase in the quoted insurance cost, equivalent to an additional $2.3 million per vessel as described by Simeonov.

An Iranian court’s decision to uphold a sentence of 74 lashes against the popular singer Parastoo Ahmadi for performing without a hijab has sparked outrage among rights groups, who described it as “a form of torture”. In June, Ahmadi, 29, and eight members of her production team, including musicians, were sentenced by a court in the city of Qom over a concert that was streamed online in 2024, which went viral and racked up millions of views. The court said the group had violated the country’s “legal and cultural norms” and called the performance “obscene and vulgar”.

U.S. President Donald Trump told the United Nations on Tuesday that there is no global government and vowed there will be no global taxes while he is president. Trump made the remarks at the U.N. General Assembly in New York, saying the United States had helped implement sweeping reforms at the international body, including a 15 percent cut to its 2026 budget and the elimination of more than 4,000 positions from U.N. bureaucracy.

The Trump administration, through the Department of Justice (DOJ), has forced six major hospital systems, including New York University (NYU) Langone Hospitals and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, to agree to cease providing puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries to minors. These agreements also include financial settlements, such as NYU paying $8.5 million and UPMC $950,000, to resolve investigations into their potential violations of federal laws.The DOJ’s investigation, launched on President Donald J. Trump’s orders in 2025, examines potential violations of federal health laws, including the False Claims Act and the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Allegations include misuse of diagnosis codes to obtain payments for gender transition procedures. While some hospitals had already ceased such treatments due to state laws or prior pressure, the DOJ agreements formalize these commitments and include provisions for restorative care for people harmed by prior treatments.

The US government has asked Australia to abandon its plan to make internet platforms use algorithms to suppress content based on "ambiguous government-defined safety criteria." "We ask that Australia withdraw any plans to mandate that platforms algorithmically suppress content based on ambiguous government-defined safety criteria," the US said in its submission to the public consultation on the Online Safety Amendment (Digital Duty of Care) Bill 2026. The consultation closed on September 22. The proposed legislation aims to introduce a duty of care that would make platforms protect Australians from material designated as harmful.

President Donald Trump told the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, Sept. 22, that the U.S. rejects a global effort to control artificial intelligence (AI) and that U.S. government documents would begin referring to the technology as "super intelligence" [1]. Trump said the word "artificial" makes the technology sound fake, according to his address in New York City on Tuesday [1]. "It's not fake. It's actually amazing. We have to be careful," Trump said, according to the BBC [1]. He also used the address to announce the terminology change, saying, "Welcome to the new world of super intelligence - SI," during his speech [1]. The address came as Trump hosted a security pact signing between the United States, Denmark and Greenland during the 81st session of the UN General Assembly [1].

China sent around 1,300 air shipments of dual-use components to Iran’s Defense Ministry during the first half of the year, including equipment that can be used in drones and missile systems, The Wall Street Journal reported on September 24, citing Iranian customs records. The shipments arrived as the Islamic Republic came under growing pressure during its war with the United States and Israel. According to the report, the deliveries provided Tehran with an important supply channel after sanctions and restrictions on maritime trade disrupted other routes.

Vice President JD Vance’s anti-fraud task force has uncovered $1.22 billion in suspected fraud involving pandemic-era contracts that remained active years after the emergency officially ended. The General Services Administration (GSA) and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) discovered that emergency contracting continued after the official end of the pandemic. The agencies found that millions of dollars in vaccine contracts were awarded under the Biden administration after the national emergency had ended.

As the warnings about Russia grow louder, the public is being told to fear more, question less and prepare for war. Great Britain is going through a war scare. Or to be precise, its combined political and media establishment is subjecting its people to a relentless propaganda (in up-to-date NATO-speak “cognitive warfare”) campaign to create a sense of impending war against Russia. As you would expect, that war is, of course, framed as strictly defensive. In propaganda textbook manner, the message is both very simple and very repetitive: The UK is in great danger of a Russian attack, and its whole population must prepare itself to withstand and resist it. It goes without saying that Moscow’s repeated declarations of having no such intention make no difference.

LONDON, September 25. /TASS/. The European Union could face its worst winter since 2022 amid record energy prices and potential supply problems from the United States, European Commissioner for Energy and Housing Dan Jorgensen said in an interview with the Financial Times. He called on US President Donald Trump to ensure as free a flow of energy resources as possible, which he said would be in the interests of both the EU and the United States. Even if supplies continue, however, Europe could face a harsh winter, the commissioner added.

This was supposed to be the calm before the storm. Where the Epstein Syndicate would schmooze the Global South gathered in New York for the – comatose – UN General Assembly and seduce them with assorted “gifts”, wooing them away from the impending Great Debacle and deflecting attention from the breathtaking speed of the collapse of Pax Americana. Cut to Wednesday, when we have Day One of the UN General Assembly Debate, with Neo-Crassus/Neo-Caligula/Goldfinger/Psycho Toddler supposed to deliver a speech. On the same day, he meets with the Gulf petro-sheiks for what could become some sort of suicidal pact.

Elliot Brandt, the Chief Executive Officer of AIPAC–the Israel Lobby-which is privileged by not having to register as a foreign lobby was caught on tape boasting of how easy it is for him to control the President of the United States and Trump’s national security officials–National Security Advisor and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and others. In a stunning leaked recording, AIPAC CEO Elliot Brandt is heard openly bragging about how the powerful pro-Israel lobby manipulates key figures in Donald Trump’s national security inner circle, pushing them toward another costly and unpopular war in the Middle East on behalf of Israel.

"One of the other things that that Orwell said, there there were three main principles that he outlined in that book. War is peace. War is peace. And in Orwell's world, they were in a perpetual state of war. Freedom is slavery. And ignorance is strength. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. And ignorance is strength. When you think about the parallels of the world that we live in and the challenges that we face, you see really uh how forwardthinking uh he was in writing that book and how that must translate into our choices and our actions." - Tulsi Gabbard

"If you're looking for cash, if Republicans win the House of Representatives and the US Senate, I am going to give all adult citizens in the United States of America $5,000. ... If the Democrats win, you will have a 1929 style economic depression. .. So the choice in this election is very simple. You can vote for the radical left Democrat communists to loot your wealth, raise your taxes by five trillion dollars, annihilate your borders, decimate Kansas farms, mutilate your children, and give 25 million illegal aliens amnesty to vote. That's why they let them in. They want to have them vote. You know, cheating is not good enough. They cheat like hell, but that's not good enough. They want to destroy our country."

This video exemplifies one of the biggest problems with American police. They are no longer concerned with protecting and serving the public. They are on a new mission now to hassle, to attack, find fault, to brutalize, and if possible to ruin your life as this poor man found out during a medical emergency on the road. This dirt bag cop was on a fishing expedition to find anything he could to hurt this man to cause him trouble. Be aware people, the police are no longer there to help you. They now exist to destroy you. If they can't find a reason to hurt you they will invent one, charging you with crimes that you didn't commit and the burden will be on you to prove your innocence. America has become a police state with a two tier system of laws and justice, one tier for the privileged and the rich and another for the people. Never call the police and avoid them at all costs because they are not there to help you. They exist solely to cause pain, inconvenience, and to generate revenue. Your innocence is of no consequence to them.

69-year-old Denise Beck was pulled over on her way to breakfast by Shawnee, Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper Eric Smith. Within minutes he had fractured her eye socket, broken her arm, torn her rotator cuff, injured her knee, and subjected her to bruising all over her body. Denise was never criminally charged or cited. She was completely innocent of any wrongdoing. This can happen to anybody. For all of you tourists who see America as a kind of Disneyland and Americans who think they are safe in their country, let this video serve as a warning. This nightmare for Denise Beck looked like it wasn't going to end until she called out to Jesus to help her, at which point everything miraculously changed. Unfortunately Denise has received no monetary compensation for the blatant violation of her rights and the physical injuries she suffered. She is truly lucky she wasn't killed.

Felix Nikolas Prehn describes a truly terrifying financial future for the American people. Of course he sees it from the outside looking in. He is completely objective, simply making his astute observations from an investors point of view. He sees the 'only solution' for the American debt crisis. He will be positioned in investments which are protected, separated from the dollar, and which could actually increase in value as a result of the coming economic fall of America. It will be like the great depression, but worse and unending as America will not easily reclaim its former economic glory and dominance over the world. Americans have already been hit hard by a 100% inflation rate over the past five years as the price of everything has more than doubled while pay has changed very little. The majority of people are struggling with rent, food, gasoline, and utilities. When the buying power of the dollar is cut in half again life will become so hard and lacking in America, that it will resemble Russia after the fall of the Soviet union.
