Kuwait just hired Pakistan’s army to defend it
Opinion: While rejecting Israel, the Gulf monarchy is outsourcing its security to a nuclear-armed, Islamist-leaning military; a dangerous mirage of protection
Amine Ayoub
Amine Ayoub|Yesterday | 16:35
On August 27, 2026, within the military command halls of Rawalpindi, Kuwaiti Defense Minister Sheikh Abdullah Ali Abdullah Al-Salem Al-Sabah and Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif signed Protocol Agreement-2026.
Flanked by Chief of the General Staff Lt. Gen. Khalid Al-Shriaan and senior Pakistani commanders, the ceremonial signing marked the formal transformation of a previously passive security relationship into an active operational military framework.
Building upon their 2023 agreement, this protocol establishes binding mechanisms for military training, capacity building, border management, technical exchanges, logistical integration and defense-industrial cooperation.
Kuwaiti officialdom framed this accord as a routine measure to elevate operational readiness and safeguard national borders. A rigorous strategic assessment, however, immediately strips away this diplomatic veneer.
The Rawalpindi protocol does not signal the maturation of Kuwaiti defense planning; rather, it exposes a chronic structural failure that continues to undermine the sovereign integrity of the oil-rich monarchies of the Persian Gulf: the endemic inability to generate native, self-reliant military power.
Faced with a chaotic regional environment and shifting superpower priorities, Kuwait has made a deliberate choice not to reform its domestic defense institutions, but rather to contract out hard security to foreign mercenaries.
The chronic externalization of Gulf defense
Kuwait’s strategic posture has suffered from a fundamental delusion: the belief that national defense is a commercial commodity purchased off the shelf through petrodollars. Possessing vast hydrocarbon wealth yet lacking a martial civic culture, an effective standing army or a population willing to endure the rigors of military service, the Kuwaiti state has consistently substituted lavish procurement contracts and outsourced manpower for genuine national discipline and self-sacrifice.
This rental defense model yielded disastrous results in August 1990. When Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi armored divisions rolled across the border, Kuwait’s heavily funded military apparatus collapsed within hours. The royal family fled across the Saudi border, while the country’s physical liberation ultimately required the intervention of a massive, American-led coalition. The fundamental lesson of 1990 was unequivocal: an army that cannot fight for its own soil does not possess real sovereignty.
Thirty-six years after that catastrophic collapse, as Washington systematically recalibrates its global footprint and expects Middle Eastern allies to assume primary responsibility for their own security environment, Kuwait City remains fundamentally unwilling to confront its internal vulnerabilities.
Rather than undertaking painful military reforms, instituting rigorous national conscription or building an enduring warfighting ethos among its citizenry, the Kuwaiti establishment has reverted to its historic pattern. It is attempting to insulate itself from regional warfare by purchasing external protection from foreign militaries.
The Pakistan vector: renting an Islamist shield
The choice of Pakistan as Kuwait’s primary defense subcontractor is an act of profound strategic desperation that introduces severe risks into the Persian Gulf. Pakistan is not a stable regional power capable of delivering durable strategic guarantees. On the contrary, it is a fragile, nuclear-armed state whose military apparatus—specifically the Inter-Services Intelligence—has long deployed radical Islamist proxy networks across South Asia to achieve geopolitical objectives.
This handout photograph taken on July 29, 2026 and released by Pakistan's Prime Minister Office shows Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif (R) speaking with Kuwait's Foreign Minister Sheikh Jarrah Jaber al-Ahmad al-Sabah (2L) during a meeting at the Prime Minister House in Islamabad
Furthermore, the institutional culture of Pakistan’s armed forces is thoroughly saturated with pan-Islamist ideological doctrines. For the military high command in Rawalpindi, exporting military advisers, training modules, intelligence officers and border control units to the Arabian Peninsula is not an act of disinterested altruism. It is a vital economic survival strategy designed to generate foreign exchange, secure subsidized energy supplies and funnel needed capital into Pakistan's domestic defense sector.
For Kuwait, however, opening its national command structures, intelligence networks and border security infrastructure to Pakistani personnel creates an institutional conduit for radical ideological influence.
Renting an army steeped in Islamist dogma does not build genuine external deterrence; it merely invites ideological infection, operational compromise and structural vulnerability into the core of the host state's security apparatus.
The hypocrisy of anti-Israel rejectionism
What makes Kuwait’s strategic posture particularly absurd and self-defeating is its stubborn adherence to anti-Israel rejectionism.
While forward-thinking regional states recognized through the Abraham Accords that genuine long-term security requires technological integration, shared intelligence and economic collaboration with Jerusalem, Kuwait remains frozen in Cold-War-era ideological orthodoxy.
Kuwaiti law continues to strictly criminalize any form of normalization, diplomatic engagement or commercial trade with the Jewish State, enforcing draconian anti-boycott statutes designed primarily to appease domestic Islamist politicians and populist parliamentarians.
The strategic irony is striking. Kuwait systematically rejects any association with Israel—the region’s undisputed technological powerhouse in cyber warfare, real-time tactical intelligence, counter-terrorism and multi-layered missile defense—while simultaneously placing its physical survival in the hands of a radicalized, unstable South Asian military establishment.
Kuwait City prefers the ideological comfort of a pan-Islamic defense shield over pragmatic, effective security partnerships that could genuinely protect its territory against aggressive non-state militias and regional destabilization.
By placing outdated dogma above hard strategic calculations, Kuwait sacrifices its long-term national security on the altar of political symbolism.
An emerging parallel security architecture
Protocol Agreement-2026 must not be evaluated as an isolated, transactional bilateral arrangement. It represents a key component of an evolving alternative security architecture extending across the Sunni Islamic world.
This protocol directly complements the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement signed on August 7, 2026, which established a trilateral security alignment between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey designed to merge Turkish defense technology, Saudi financial assets and Pakistani troop capacity into a consolidated military bloc.
By binding its national defense systems directly to Pakistan, Kuwait is embedding itself within this emerging parallel security matrix.
For Israel, this trend demands scrutiny. The expanding footprint of Pakistani military personnel, intelligence officers and operational assets throughout the Persian Gulf introduces an unpredictable, nuclear-armed player into crucial maritime and air corridors, including the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea.
This South Asian military presence increases the probability of intelligence leaks, technology proliferation to hostile actors and unexpected escalation during future regional crises.
The Israeli doctrinal imperative
For Israel, the Kuwait-Pakistan protocol offers a powerful validation of core Zionist national security doctrine. Jerusalem has always operated under the absolute premise that sovereign survival can never be rented, borrowed or delegated to third-party guarantors.
A security posture that relies on outsourced protection and hired shields is a dangerous mirage that inevitably dissolves when subjected to the harsh realities of armed conflict.
Amine AyoubAmine Ayoub
While Gulf monarchies purchase expensive weapon systems, they lack the capacity to maintain and recruit foreign forces to police their borders, Israel conceptualizes, builds and commands its own defense capabilities.
From Iron Dome, David’s Sling and Arrow atmospheric interceptors to cyber warfare and artificial intelligence platforms, Israel relies on native innovation and a citizen army driven by national resolve.
While international alliances serve as valuable force multipliers, the fundamental responsibility for defending the Jewish State remains exclusively in Israeli hands.
The defense protocol ratified in Rawalpindi on August 27, 2026, exposes the profound structural frailty of Kuwait’s security architecture. Renting conventional military power from Pakistan may afford Kuwait City a brief, illusory sense of protection, but it irrevocably binds the emirate to a volatile, Islamist-infused military state.
Real security cannot be purchased with petrodollars, nor can it be constructed upon the shifting sands of mercenary alliances and ideological rejectionism. In a harsh Middle Eastern neighborhood, Israel’s proven model of absolute self-reliance, technological supremacy and unshakeable national resolve stands as the only durable path to sovereign survival.

Senior Iranian cleric says ‘The only solution is to build a nuclear bomb and fire it’
Aug 29, 2026
A senior Iranian cleric closely aligned with the country’s Supreme Leader has issued one of the regime’s most explicit calls yet for nuclear weapons, declaring that building and launching an atomic bomb is the sole remaining option for Iran.
According to a report from World Israel News, the remarks by Mohammad Bagher Kharrazi underscore a worldview in which nuclear arms are treated not merely as a shield but as a tool of annihilation.
“The only way to save the country… is building an atomic bomb and firing it,” Kharrazi said. “No other way is left for us…. We should create a tsunami whose waves hit the American coasts.” The statement, published August 29, 2026, leaves little room for ambiguity about the regime’s intentions.
In the ideology of Iran’s ruling establishment, such weapons remain openly discussed as instruments of mass destruction. Israel stands as the primary target. Iranian leaders and their proxies have long framed the Jewish state’s elimination as both a religious duty and a strategic goal. Israel’s compact geography—comparable in size to New Jersey—means even a single nuclear device would produce catastrophic loss of life.
The same capability, or the materials and expertise behind it, could be passed to groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah or the Houthis, organizations already known for attacks on civilians and neighboring states.
A nuclear-armed Iran would also accelerate a regional arms race already underway, with Saudi Arabia developing uranium enrichment infrastructure it describes as peaceful.
U.S. President Donald Trump has rejected treating Tehran’s nuclear program as routine diplomacy, repeating that “Iran Cannot Have a Nuclear Weapon.” A government whose officials speak of firing nuclear weapons and generating tsunamis against American shores cannot be trusted with that power.
The regime’s character has not softened. It has spent nearly half a century exporting revolution, financing terrorism and crushing internal dissent, including the killing of at least 42,000 of its own citizens in two days in January 2026.
Under Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, security posts have gone to veteran Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps hardliners associated with the late Qasem Soleimani, including Mohsen Rezaei and Ahmad Vahidi.
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk reported at least 56 executions on national-security charges since mid-March, 27 of them linked to earlier protests. Human-rights groups have documented rushed trials and death sentences against demonstrators.
Meanwhile, Iran is rapidly reconstructing military infrastructure damaged in the 2026 conflict. Satellite imagery and intelligence assessments show missile bases, production sites and tunnel networks being rebuilt faster than many expected, with a shift toward offensive systems.
Israeli officials have expressed surprise at the pace of recovery in ballistic-missile capabilities. Leaving those arsenals intact would raise the cost of any future action against U.S. bases and Gulf allies.
The West, the report argues, cannot wait until Iran possesses a nuclear weapon—at which point stopping it would become far harder. Economic isolation through secondary sanctions, disruption of reconstruction, and the removal of the current leadership are presented as necessary steps.
Half-measures have failed for decades. The alternative, the analysis concludes, is that nuclear-capable adversaries whose “only solution” is to fire such a weapon succeed in placing the world at far greater risk.

Russia Ministry of Foreign Affairs: "Russia Has Every Right To Attack British Military . . . "
Hal Turner World August 27, 2026 Hits: 17300
Maria Zakharova, official Spokeswoman for the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) warned London about the response to British weapons strikes on Russia:
"Given Ukraine’s strikes with British weapons, Moscow has every right to attack British military facilities"
"Any British military facilities and equipment in Ukraine and abroad can be a response to Ukrainian strikes with the use of British weapons on the territory of Russia."
The MFA also says on August 26, Ukraine launched British/French-made Storm Shadow/SCALP-EG missiles at civilian locations in Donetsk. Eight people were injured, including two children.
The diplomat stressed the need for London to abandon a hostile policy that could bring the conflict to a completely different level.
Zakharova continued "Those guilty of war crimes against civilians will certainly receive the punishment they deserve."
The MFA also states "Moscow also records the transfer of data to the Ukrainian side for the production of Storm Shadow missiles. With such actions, London and Paris (France is a joint Developer of the "Storm Shadow" Missiles, which are called "SCALP" in France) are unsuccessfully trying to absolve themselves of responsibility for attacks deep into Russia." the ministry spokeswoman added.
In addition, the newspaper VZGLYAD wrote, "British Prime Minister Andy Burnham came to Kyiv to support the anti-Russian fronde."
The British authorities have approved strikes deep into Russian territory with Storm Shadow missiles.
The Russian Foreign Ministry warned the Ambassador of the United Kingdom about the possibility of destroying British military facilities.

South Carolina cop killed and another wounded in shootout that left gun-wielding suspect dead
By Sonya Gugliara
Published Aug. 29, 2026
Updated Aug. 30, 2026, 12:16 a.m. ETA South Carolina cop died and another was wounded in a shootout with a gun-wielding career criminal, who was also killed in the crossfire, according to police and local reports.
Gunshots rang out near the South East Park area of Columbia, S.C., on Saturday morning when the officers involved went to check out a domestic violence complaint, according to the Columbia Police Department.
“And it’s with heartbreak and sadness that I inform you that one of our officers has succumbed to [his] injuries,” said the city’s top cop, Chief W.H. Holbrook, at a press conference.
The killed cop was identified as Officer Christopher DeLong, 29, who had been with the Columbia Police Department for two years.
Officer DeLong arrived at 9:43 a.m. to find that Downey had already fled.
After gathering a physical and vehicle description from the caller, DeLong cleared the residence at 10:32 a.m.
Shortly after, DeLong saw a suspicious person at nearby Hazelwood Road — the man and vehicle matched the victim’s description of Downey.
Dymock arrived as backup at 10:41 a.m.
Four minutes later, Dymock radioed dispatch that both officers had been hit and the suspect was down.
Police confirmed Downey had a lengthy criminal history with arrests spanning multiple states, and was out on bond at the time of the shooting.
The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division is leading the probe into the shooting, and the Richland County Sheriff’s Department is assisting.
The investigation remains ongoing. The Columbia Police Department was not immediately available for comment.

Six months into Iran war, regime survives as US strategy stalls
Strikes inflicted severe damage on Iran's military but failed to trigger an uprising or fracture the regime. The Trump administration is now betting on tougher sanctions, while experts struggle to ascertain what Washington ultimately hopes to achieve.
by Dudi Kogan
Published on 08-29-2026 00:09
Six months after the United States and Israel launched a sweeping attack on Iran, the regime in Tehran remains in power and Washington has yet to achieve the objectives it set for the war. A New York Times analysis found that the Trump administration has replaced its military campaign with an intensified economic war, but that effort, too, is unlikely to force Iran to change course.
The war began on Feb. 28 with a surprise joint US-Israeli attack. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in the strikes, while his son and successor, Mojtaba Khamenei, was critically wounded. Weeks of bombardment destroyed much of Iran's air force and navy and severely damaged its missile program, but the population did not rise up and the regime's leadership did not collapse.
Iran has since managed to restore many of its missile launchers, attack US bases and Washington's allies in the region, and effectively seize control of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. According to the report, several thousand Iranians, including children, and 18 US service members have been killed in the war. Tehran is also said to have strengthened its regional influence, with countries it was attacking only a few months ago now seeking to revive ties with Iran.
"Iran has come out stronger"
"The war has failed to deliver US objectives," said Sanam Vakil, director of the Middle East and North Africa Programme at Chatham House. Suzanne Maloney, vice president and director of the Foreign Policy program at the Brookings Institution, added: "We did a lot of damage to Iran, but they have come out stronger than before."
After the military campaign failed to bring about the regime's collapse, the Trump administration announced Operation Economic Outcast, an effort intended to isolate Iran and bring its economy to its knees.
"This is a sustained campaign to collapse every last option for Iran," US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said. "The campaign we begin today will gather force with every day that follows, and it will not end until this regime stands alone."
What does Washington want?
The administration, however, has not made clear what its ultimate objective is: toppling the regime, reopening the Strait of Hormuz or bringing Iran back to the negotiating table over the strait and its nuclear program.
Experts said a country already subject to thousands of sanctions was unlikely to capitulate because of additional measures, and warned that greater economic pressure could instead prompt Tehran to step up attacks on shipping in the Persian Gulf and on US allies. "The capacity to hurt Iran is clear," said Sina Toossi of the Washington-based Center for International Policy. "The path from pain to capitulation or collapse is not."
There is uncertainty in Tehran as well over Washington's intentions. Ali Vaez, Iran project director at the International Crisis Group, said Iranian officials were asking whether the United States was seeking collapse, capitulation or compromise. If the economic strategy fails, he said, the United States could return to military escalation. If it succeeds, Iran could itself escalate in an attempt to break the US naval blockade.
Despite the dire state of Iran's economy and warnings of hunger and economic collapse, the Iranian leadership remains united in insisting that it retain control over the Strait of Hormuz. At the same time, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf are calling for a return to the memorandum of understanding Trump signed in June. The US president, however, has already declared that the understandings are "void."
What is Mojtaba's condition?
Questions are also mounting over the condition of Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei. He has not appeared in public since he was wounded, and the latest statement issued by his office was published on Aug. 9. Some are even questioning whether he is still alive.
For now, the two sides remain in a relative stalemate, with no direct exchanges of fire and a loose blockade in the strait that still allows some oil shipments through. Experts warn, however, that the situation amounts to a dangerous deadlock and that the economic war could become a prelude to another round of fighting.
In the meantime, Iranian civilians continue to bear the cost. On the first day of the war, Trump told them, "Your hour of freedom has arrived." Six months later, the regime is still standing, while their economic hardship is only worsening.

50 Survival Lessons From The Great Depression: The Horrifying Things Americans Did When Money, Jobs, & Hope Disappeared
by Tyler Durden
Authored...
Authored by John Walter via John Walter,
We publish this piece in the August of 2026, as the machinery of global commerce groans and sputters, as hollow men in expensive suits speak of "corrections" and "adjustments" while families count pennies in dimly lit kitchens. The photograph you see above - those gaunt men hunched over bowls of thin soup, their eyes fixed on some middle distance between hunger and dignity - was snapped nearly a century ago, yet it could have been taken yesterday in any tent city stretching like a scar across the American landscape. We do not traffic in false nostalgia here, nor in the cheap comfort of historical distance. The Great Depression was not a sepia-toned folktale; it was a meat-grinder that chewed through 25 percent of the working population, that evicted grandmothers into snowbanks, that turned proud men into beggars and children into scavengers. The bones of that era still jut through the soil of our present moment - visible to anyone brave enough to look. What follows is not a curiosity shop of antiquated customs, but a field manual written in blood and hunger, a record of how ordinary human beings refused to break when the world snapped in half. Read it. Memorize it. The wolves are already at the door.
Introduction
October 29, 1929, began as a Tuesday and ended as an autopsy. When the stock market shed its skin that Black Tuesday, it revealed something putrid beneath the gilt and glamour of the Roaring Twenties - the entire economic edifice had been a painted facade, a stage set propped up by speculation and debt. Within months, the iron sinews of American industry seized up. Factories that had belched smoke and churned out automobiles now stood silent as tombstones. Construction cranes froze in place, their skeletal arms reaching toward empty skies. The breadlines formed not from laziness but from the sudden, violent evaporation of work itself - fourteen million pairs of boots kicked dust on Main Street, fourteen million stomachs growled in concert.
The trauma cut marrow-deep. Men who had worn white collars found themselves fighting rats for garbage. Women who had managed households like generals now found themselves bartering wedding rings for sacks of beans. Children learned to sleep through the rumble of empty bellies, to recognize the particular gray color of hunger. This was not merely poverty - poverty implies a falling from somewhere. This was collapse, the sudden plunging of an entire civilization into a pit without handholds. The American Dream, that peculiar national religion promising infinite ascension, revealed itself as a confidence trick played on the desperate.
Yet here is the strange miracle: they did not all perish. They did not all devolve into the savage calculus of dog-eat-dog, though some surely did. Instead, something older and tougher emerged from the wreckage - a kind of stubborn, ornery ingenuity that had lain dormant during the fat years. People remembered how to do things. They recalled skills their grandparents had brought from the old country: how to stretch a dollar until it screamed, how to mend what was torn, how to find nourishment in landscapes others called barren. They discovered that the human animal is infinitely adaptable, capable of surviving on pride and lard and sheer cussedness when the supermarkets close and the ATMs go dark.
We have grown soft in the intervening decades. We have forgotten the taste of true scarcity, the texture of want. Our landfills overflow with the discarded, while our grandparents hoarded string and bacon fat like treasure. We order sustenance through glowing screens, disconnected from the soil and the seasons. But the old knowledge persists, passed down through whispered conversations in kitchens where the radio once played FDR's fireside chats. The fifty fragments of wisdom that follow are not theoretical. They were paid for with calloused hands and sleepless nights. They represent the collective survival manual of a generation that faced the abyss and chose, defiantly, to keep walking.
50 Tips From the Great Depression
1. Move as a clan. When work dried up in Akron or Detroit, families packed their possessions into trucks and rolled toward the horizon like Bedouins. Staying together meant pooling resources, sharing bread, ensuring that when one member stumbled, others could prop them up. The lone wolf starved; the pack endured.
2. Follow the harvest. Migrant farm work was the artery that kept many alive. Cotton in Texas, apples in Washington, wheat in Kansas - each crop had its season, its hunger for hands. A family could stitch together nine or ten months of labor by chasing ripeness across state lines, living in tents that leaked when it rained.
3. Ask not what the job is; ask only if it exists. Pride was a luxury item, quickly pawned. Men who had managed offices took up shovels. Women who had worn silk now scrubbed floors. The work itself mattered less than the doing of it, the exchange of sweat for coins.
4. Put every able body to the grind. Children sold newspapers, gathered bottles, ran errands for pennies. Grandparents watched infants so mothers could scrub laundry. No one sat idle; the family was an economic unit, a small cooperative where survival was the only dividend.
5. Scavenge value from the discarded. Driftwood became fuel. Rusted metal became scrap. Bones became glue. The beachcomber and the junk man were aristocrats in this economy, turning refuse into currency through sheer force of will.
6. Embrace the government's outstretched hand - cautiously. The New Deal programs, for all their bureaucratic weight, taught skills and poured concrete. Men learned masonry while building dams; they learned forestry while planting trees. Take the help, but keep your eyes open.
7. Work until you cannot stand. There was no retirement, no gold watch and pension. Seventy-year-olds swept floors. Eighty-year-olds watched grandchildren. The body worked until it broke, and then it found lighter work.
8. String together fragments. When full-time work vanished, people cobbled three part-time positions into a patchwork income. Dawn at the bakery, noon at the cannery, night at the loading dock. Sleep became a negotiable commodity.
9. Knock on every door. The unemployed did not wait for advertisements; they walked the streets, entering every shop and factory, offering labor by the hour. Persistence was the only resume that mattered.
10. Create your own occupation. Women arose before dawn to cook stews and pies, then sold them outside factory gates during lunch breaks. Men sharpened tools on porches, offering services to neighbors. Necessity was the mother of small enterprise.
11. Cultivate the jack-of-all-trades. The specialist starved. The man who could fix a roof, shoe a horse, and balance books found three times the opportunity. Breadth trumped depth when the market for expertise collapsed.
12. Accept payment in kind. Farmers took on hands they couldn't pay in dollars, offering instead bushels of corn or sides of pork. A chicken was as good as a five-dollar bill in many towns.
13. Crowd under one roof. When the bank took the house, families scattered like seeds - not to the wind, but to the homes of relatives. Three generations in one farmhouse was cramped, but the body heat alone saved on coal.
14. Convert your vehicle to shelter. Those with cars or trucks slept in them, parking behind churches or in empty lots. Public gyms offered showers for pennies; the automobile became a rolling bedroom.
15. Build from scrap. Tents, shacks, lean-tos constructed from packing crates and corrugated tin - these were not dwellings but declarations of continued existence. A roof, however patched, meant dignity.
16. Insulate with desperation. Mud, newspaper, tar paper, old coats - anything that could block the wind was stuffed into walls. The goal was not comfort but survival, keeping the pipes from freezing and the children from turning blue.
17. Wear your coat indoors. Thermostats were turned to near-freezing. Families sat in overcoats and mittens, breath visible in the parlor, saving fuel for cooking rather than warmth.
18. Harness evaporation. Wet sheets hung over doorways created crude air conditioning. As the water dried, it drew heat from the room, offering slight relief when the summer sun turned shacks into ovens.
19. Refinance before the hammer falls. Those who could, renegotiated mortgages to lower payments, buying time if not salvation. It was a dance with the devil, but it kept the sheriff away for another month.
20. Cash the safety net. Life insurance policies, that morbid savings account, became emergency funds. Better to feed the living than to enrich the beneficiaries.
21. Trade without currency. Barter economies sprouted like weeds. A morning's labor might yield a gallon of milk; a repaired fence could earn a bushel of apples. Money was scarce; ingenuity was not.
22. Beg without shame. Outside restaurants, on corners, at church doors - asking for help was not criminal but human. The rich who still ate in warm dining rooms sometimes emerged with leftovers, and the hungry learned to wait with hollow eyes.
23. Distrust the marble halls. When banks began closing their doors, taking lifetimes of savings with them, the wise kept cash in coffee cans and under floorboards. Institutions failed; paper promises burned.
24. Keep the books loose. Storekeepers extended credit to regulars, scratching debts on ledgers they might never collect. It was a gamble on community, on the hope that better days would come.
25. Dig in the dirt. The vegetable plot was the difference between malnutrition and survival. Even city dwellers tore up lawns to plant potatoes. Seeds cost pennies; harvests were priceless.
26. Hunt and hook. Rabbits, squirrels, fish from the creek - these were not sport but sustenance. A shotgun was as vital as a plow, and the woods were a larder for those who knew how to read them.
27. Gather what grows wild. Nuts, berries, dandelion greens, cattail roots - nature provided for those who knew her language. Children became expert foragers, their eyes trained to spot edibles in the ditch.
28. Put up the harvest. Canning was not a hobby but a survival skill. Rows of jars in the cellar - tomatoes, beans, peaches - represented edible insurance against winter's lean months.
29. Eat the inedible. Tumbleweed, once cattle fodder, found its way onto plates. Young shoots of plants previously ignored were boiled and seasoned with desperation.
30. Waste nothing of the beast. Hearts, livers, kidneys, feet, heads - every part served a purpose. Offal was ground, stewed, fried. Even the hooves yielded glue and gelatin.
31. Stretch with smoke. A single strip of bacon could flavor a week's worth of beans. The rind, the fat, the drippings - all were saved in tins, used to fry bread, to add richness to thin soups.
32. Cultivate the commons. Vacant lots became collective gardens. Parks were divided into plots. The soil belonged to whoever worked it, and tomatoes grew where roses once bloomed.
33. Swap the surplus. Neighbors traded cucumbers for eggs, corn for milk. Variety entered the diet through exchange, through the web of relationships spun across fences.
34. Cook from zero. There were no boxes to open, no packets to tear. Flour, water, salt - these were the building blocks. Recipes required time and labor, not just microwave minutes.
35. Shop the dying day. Saturday evenings, before Sunday closures, vendors slashed prices on perishables. The savvy bought bruised fruit and day-old bread, eating better for less.
36. Keep livestock close. A cow meant milk and butter; chickens meant eggs and Sunday dinner. Even a single goat could sustain a family, turning grass into protein.
37. Fill with starch. Meat was for the wealthy. The poor bulked meals with bread, potatoes, noodles - cheap calories that filled the stomach if not the soul. Lard added the illusion of richness.
38. Boil the bones. Soup was the universal meal, adaptable to whatever scraps remained. Water was free; bones were cheap; the pot could simmer endlessly, feeding many from little.
39. Mend the soles. Shoes were repaired until they could not be repaired again. Leather from belts patched holes; rubber from tires became new soles. A cobbler's needle was worth its weight in gold.
40. Sew from sacks. Feed sacks, flour bags - these became dresses, curtains, shirts. Women learned to cut patterns from whatever cloth came to hand, turning agricultural packaging into fashion.
41. Cancel vanity. Fashion was a dead letter. Clothes were worn until threadbare, then turned into patches for other clothes. The goal was coverage, not style; warmth, not trend.
42. Pass it down. Outgrown garments traveled to younger siblings, then to cousins, then to neighbors. A single coat might warm three children over a decade, its history accumulating in every patch.
43. Rip for rags. When fabric could no longer hold stitches, it became cleaning cloths, quilt stuffing, rug yarn. The final death of a garment was a slow unraveling into utility.
44. Abandon entitlement. No one believed the world owed them a living. The able worked; the unable hoped to work again. The safety net was the family, the church, the neighbor - not the distant government.
45. Help the striving. Those who tried and failed found open hands. Those who refused to try found closed doors. Charity was reserved for the willing, not the wanton.
46. Tighten the community weave. Neighbors shared tools, labor, news. They pooled money for the desperate, organized relief for the sick. The atomized individual perished; the networked group survived.
47. Lend with strings. Town welfare loans were not gifts; they were debts of honor, recorded meticulously, expected to be repaid. Dignity was preserved through obligation, not handouts.
48. Value the collective. Independence was a luxury; interdependence was the reality. The man who could not ask for help starved; the man who could not offer help lost his humanity.
49. Expect loss. They learned that possessions were temporary, that security was illusion, that everything could vanish overnight. This knowledge was terrible but liberating.
50. Keep walking. Above all, they maintained forward motion. Despair was indulged in private, briefly, then packed away. The sun rose; the work continued; the human animal adapted and endured.
Conclusion
The photograph fades, but the hunger remains. We stand now at a similar precipice, staring into a future that promises uncertainty, that whispers of contractions and corrections and collapses yet to come. The machines we have built are complex, interconnected, fragile - subject to the same tremors that brought down the house of cards in 1929. We have forgotten, in our age of abundance, how thin the margin is between comfort and catastrophe, between the full pantry and the empty bowl.
Yet the old knowledge persists, encoded in the DNA of those who survived. It tells us that we are tougher than we believe, more adaptable than we imagine, capable of finding nourishment in landscapes we once called barren. The fifty fragments above are not archaeology; they are prophecy. They remind us that when the trucks stop running and the screens go dark, we still possess hands that can plant, minds that can calculate, hearts that can share.
The men in that black-and-white image are all dead now, dust and memory. But their stubbornness echoes forward. They teach us that dignity is not purchased with dollars but carved out of will, that community is not a buzzword but a lifeline, that survival is not a given but a choice made daily, hourly, breath by breath. The wolves are at the door, yes. They always have been. But we remember now how to bar the gate, how to sharpen the knife, how to look our brothers and sisters in the eye and say: We have less, but we have enough. We will make it through another winter. We will see the spring.

After Submarine off NYC - U.S. Launched FIVE E-6 "Doomsday" Planes!
Hal Turner World August 29, 2026 Hits: 18767
A little after 6:00 PM eastern US time on Friday Evening, I reported that an Unidentified Submarine had been detected in the Atlantic Ocean about 75 Miles off the New Jersey/New York City coastline (Story Here)
What I didn't realize as I reported multiple P-8 Submarine hunters flying search patterns looking for the Sub, elsewhere in the continental US, FIVE . . . . count 'em . . . . FIVE E-6 "Doomsday" Aircraft were scrambled!!!!
"DOOMSDAY" PLANES
The Boeing E-6B Mercury is a specialized U.S. Navy aircraft designed to maintain emergency communication and control of nuclear forces if ground infrastructure is destroyed.
People call it a "doomsday plane" because it is built to survive a nuclear war or a total breakdown of normal military networks.
Core Mission and Capabilities
• TACAMO Mission: It performs the "Take Charge And Move Out" mission. It uses very long trailing wire antennas to send ultra-low-frequency radio messages to deeply submerged ballistic missile submarines.
• Airborne Launch Control: It carries specialized equipment allowing Air Force battle staff to launch land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) directly from the air.
• Dual Command Post: It connects the President and the Secretary of Defense to naval, strategic bomber, and missile forces during a major national crisis.
Aircraft Design
• Airframe: The plane is a modified version of the historic Boeing 707-300 commercial jet.
• Fleet size: The U.S. Navy operates a fleet of 16 of these aircraft, mainly based out of Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma.
• Operations: The jets fly routinely for training and readiness, meaning seeing one on a flight tracker or in the sky does not mean an active war or crisis is happening.
(Note: While the E-6B is operated by the Navy, the U.S. Air Force operates a larger, separate "doomsday" aircraft called the Boeing E-4B Nightwatch, which is built on a Boeing 747 airframe.)

HAL TURNER SNAP ANALYSIS
Clearly the presence of an unidentified submarine off the Coast of New York City was a very unwelcome surprise for the federal government.
In the hours since the incident occurred, I found out (and reported to my radio audience) that it had been a Russian submarine, which surfaced on purpose, to be detected. I suspected the Sub was the Russian Government "sending a message" to the US Government.
That sub then submerged and disappeared.
I am told, but do not know for certain, that the P-8 Sub-Hunters were NOT able to locate any submarine.
So let me ask YOU . . . . what does it tell YOU that a Russian Submarine popped up off the coast of New York City and immediately, the United States scrambled FIVE (5) E-6 Doomsday Planes?
It tells me this is how dangerously close we are, to actual nuclear war.
Relations between the US and Russia have been smashed so terribly, and our conduct against Russia has been so deliberately aggressive, with both military aid to Ukraine and financial assault of Russia by US Sanctions, that the US response to detection of a Russian Submarine was to launch five E-6 Doomsday planes.
That's what it tells me.
It tells me the US is EXPECTING to be attacked.
Notice none of the so-called "main stream" media is reporting any of this?
Please make certain you have some emergency "Preps." Food, water, medicines you need to live on, a generator to keep your refrigerator cold and maybe a light or two on in the house. Fuel for that generator. Communications gear CB or HAM radio, to be able to communicate if the grid goes down. A First-aid kit. Flashlight for each family member or in each room of your house. Spare batteries for those flashlights.
A portable AM/FM/SW radio for news and information. Spare batteries for that radio.
Things seem to be escalating very fast. If, God forbid, things go haywire, pretty much every single American citizen is going to be terrified, alone, and the overwhelming majority of them will be totally unprepared to survive. You can't save them. You can TRY to save YOURSELF and your family.
Don't wait to get the preps.

Drugs found in Gaza aid as IDF destroys Hamas weapons in mosques, arrests West Bank terrorists
"Hamas remains the main obstacle to further improving the situation in the Gaza Strip," a senior COGAT official said.
ByAMIR BOHBOT, LEO FEIERBERG BETTER
AUGUST 25, 2026 05:47 Updated: AUGUST 25, 2026 08:00
The Defense Ministry's Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), said Monday that drugs had been smuggled into the Gaza Strip inside food products intended as humanitarian aid for residents of the Strip.
In a post on X/Twitter, COGAT said the incident was based on a report by the World Central Kitchen (WCK). The post was published on the agency’s English language account, which is aimed at the international community.
According to WCK, drugs were discovered concealed inside packages of canned peppers during the unloading of aid shipments and food preparation at the organization’s kitchens in the Gaza Strip.
The packages contained six bundles of hashish weighing approximately 600 grams in total, along with an additional 160 grams of other illegal substances.
"The incident demonstrates once again that Hamas will stop at nothing to exploit humanitarian aid for its own needs," COGAT said.
Hamas 'main obstacle' to improved conditions in Gaza, COGAT official asserts
The agency added that it "strongly condemns the serious smuggling of drugs" and said it would continue working with all relevant parties against "any attempt to abuse humanitarian aid mechanisms."
"The incident demonstrates once again that Hamas will stop at nothing to exploit humanitarian aid for its own needs."
The report came a day after COGAT published an analysis claiming that the volume of aid entering the Gaza Strip significantly exceeds humanitarian needs as defined by UN agencies, international organizations, and assessments conducted throughout the war.
"Hamas remains the main obstacle to further improving the situation in the Gaza Strip," a senior COGAT official said.
The official added that "the organization interferes with humanitarian activity, exploits civilian infrastructure, influences distribution mechanisms and continues its repeated attempts to smuggle prohibited items under the guise of humanitarian aid."
Forces destroy weapon depots in Gazan mosques, arrest West Bank terrorist
The IDF and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) recently destroyed two Hamas weapons depots in northern Gaza, the military and ISA said in a joint statement on Monday.
The weapons, aid the statement, were stored inside two mosques in the Shati and Deir al-Balah areas. Among the weapons were "dozens" of Kalashnikov rifles, magazines, and other equipment, it said.
Additionally, advance warning was given before the strikes, which used precise munitions and aerial surveillance in an effort to reduce harm to civilians, the military said.
In another statement on Monday, the army announced that the elite undercover Duvdevan force arrested Hamam Khazem in Jenin, who was "planning to carry out an attack inside Israel."

Turkey's blood libel against Israel – and the record Ankara hopes you won't check
Turkey pushes an arrest warrant for Netanyahu while sitting on 700,000 terror investigations and documented torture cases of its own.
by Nadav Shragai
Published on 08-24-2026 20:40 Last modified: 08-24-2026 20:40
History, as far as anyone knows, has never documented a genocide carried out by shipping in medicine and running mass vaccination campaigns for the population supposedly being "annihilated." Nor has it ever recorded a genocide carried out by building humanitarian zones or feeding the "exterminated" population in active combat areas with hundreds of thousands of tons of water, food, and medical supplies every single day, all while setting up field hospitals.
Israel poured enormous resources into evacuating Gazan residents from their homes in combat zones before the ground offensive even began, using millions of leaflets, text messages, and phone calls to warn them. None of that will spoil the blood libel Erdoğan has cultivated against Israel, quite successfully, for three years running. Even Donald Trump, his self-described "good friend," has stayed silent. So has his ambassador to Turkey, Tom Barrack.
Dipping in the water while holding an unclean creature" (a Talmudic phrase for claiming purity while still sinning) is probably too gentle a phrase to capture the sheer inversion of reality that Erdoğan and his regime are pulling off against Israel, up to and including the push for an arrest warrant against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. What the world doesn't hear about nearly enough is that the Turkish president has turned his own country into a dark police state, one that has investigated or prosecuted more than 700,000 of its own citizens since 2016 on charges of terrorism or ties to terrorism. Ankara has slapped that label on more or less any teacher, judge, journalist, civil servant, or academic who refuses to fall in line.
Ethnic cleansing
Amnesty International and the UN's Middle East committee have both published detailed reports documenting torture inside Turkish detention facilities. In March 2023, a panel of international judges and legal experts submitted an evidence file to the International Criminal Court detailing brutal acts of torture, electric shocks, waterboarding, and sexual assault, against roughly 800 documented victims. That same file reportedly described how Turkish intelligence carried out illegal abductions in some 45 countries, flying Turkish citizens back home for interrogation. Some of them were never seen again.
Add to that the extensive testimony published by the UN Human Rights Office documenting war crimes and ethnic cleansing that Turkey and the militias it backs have carried out in Kurdish residential areas, expulsions, and demographic engineering, in places like Afrin in Syria, since resettled with people loyal to Ankara. It's all there in the human rights reports, for anyone who bothers to look.
The list keeps going. Documented executions. The destruction of civilian infrastructure during military operations in northern Syria and Iraq, where Erdoğan's forces deliberately bombed water facilities, power stations, hospitals, and grain silos. And that's before getting to what amounts to footnotes by comparison, like Turkey's withdrawal from the treaty protecting women from violence, or its ongoing suppression of free speech.
Time to get to work
Any honest observer has known for a long time that the main reason civilians and infrastructure in Gaza get hit is Hamas's own use of its population and facilities as human shields, a blatant violation of the laws of war. Hamas fights from mosques, dense residential neighborhoods, hospitals, and schools, and has even shot to kill civilians trying to flee.
All of this is well known to us. It isn't well known, or known at all, to much of the world. If Israel is serious about confronting Turkey's campaign of incitement and hypocrisy, it needs to get this information out there, everywhere, along with the record of Turkish aid, shelter, and funding, still ongoing, for the headquarters of the Hamas terrorist organization that massacred Israelis on October 7 and would do it again in a heartbeat if it could. Erdoğan's indictment of us could easily be flipped into an indictment of him. We just need to get to work.

user avatar Mario Nawfal 0xMarioNawfal @MarioNawfal????? Trump's own intelligence director told him before the war exactly how it would go, and every prediction landed...
-Tulsi Gabbard warned in the Oval Office that killing Iran's supreme leader would likely produce a MORE hardline regime open to acquiring nuclear weapons
-She said Tehran would rush to close the Strait of Hormuz and destabilize global energy markets
-She said Iran would strike U.S. forces and partners across the region
-Military leaders separately warned of casualties, munitions shortages and readiness problems for an overstretched force
-Trump DISMISSED the concerns in those meetings, and Hegseth and Caine said repeatedly they would navigate any complications...
-The tally at the 6 months: an estimated 3,000 Iranians and 18 American servicemembers dead, 756 U.S. troops wounded, damaged bases, drained oil reserves and shrunken stockpiles
-Bessent announced the goal is to collapse the regime under a campaign named Operation Economic Outcast
Go down that list line by line.
The IRGC now runs Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei sits above it with hardliners in every security post, parliament is drafting NPT withdrawal legislation, and the strait carries a fifth of its prewar traffic.
That is literally Gabbard's briefing, delivered in order, and right on schedule.
Vance argued for the other path, telling Trump that Iran might trade away its nuclear program at the table and that failure there would only strengthen the case for striking later.
He lost the argument to a Pentagon promising "decisive options."
Asked in June why he took a temporary deal, Trump pointed to internal polling showing nearly 80% of Americans wanted the war over REGARDLESS of terms.
Six weeks later, support sits at 31%, gas is a dollar higher, and the strategy is still unclear, seemingly fluctuating between Truth Social tantrums and confused aides leaking contradictory reports, with no real end in sight.

Trump sends Saudi nuclear deal to Congress, ties pact to Israel normalization
Trump sends Congress the Saudi civil nuclear deal, but says the pact will only proceed if Riyadh joins the Abraham Accords and normalizes ties with Israel.
Israel National News
Aug 26, 2026, 5:48 AM (GMT+3)Saudi ArabiaSaudi nuclear threat Donald Trump Abraham Accords
1 minutesUS President Donald Trump has formally sent Congress the recently signed civil nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia, a US administration official told Reuters on Tuesday.
The official said Trump remains firm that the agreement will proceed only if Saudi Arabia joins the Abraham Accords and establishes formal relations with Israel.
The United States and Saudi Arabia signed the civil nuclear agreement in late July. The deal is expected to give American companies substantial commercial opportunities as Saudi Arabia develops its nuclear energy sector. US officials have said the agreement will support American manufacturing, industrial workers and domestic supply chains while helping Riyadh meet its long-term electricity needs.
The administration has also said the agreements will strengthen nuclear safety, security and nonproliferation standards, while improving the competitiveness of the US civil nuclear industry and contributing to security in the Middle East.
Trump subsequently made clear that he views the nuclear agreement as tied to Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords.
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office two days after the nuclear deal was signed, Trump said, “I just say that in order to do it, they have to be a member of the Abraham Accords, which have been very successful. But it's time now that they do it."
“They and others didn't want to do it because of the problem that they had with Iran. You don't have that problem anymore. You don't have a great power there anymore," continued the President.
“You have a problem, but the problem is disappearing day by day. They were the bully of the Middle East. They were not going to be that much of a bully anymore, probably," he said of Iran.
“At some point they'll join [the Abraham Accords]," the President continued, referring to Saudi Arabia. “They'll join, and they'll do their civil nuclear, no enrichment, it's civil nuclear."

The United Arab Emirates and Bahrain became the first signatories in 2020, marking the first formal normalization agreements between Arab states and Israel since Jordan established ties with Israel in 1994.
Morocco and Sudan subsequently joined the framework, although Sudan's full ratification was delayed by domestic instability. Kazakhstan joined the agreements in January of this year.

Gang Members Violently Murder Christians, Torch Church
By Tr
é Goins-PhillipsEditor
August 27, 2026
At least 47 people and 22 others were injured Sunday night into Monday morning when gang members attacked a church providing shelter to displaced peoples right outside Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince.
The mayor of Kenscoff, Massillon Jean, said the deadly assault began around 10:30 p.m. and described it as a “night of terror.”
Jean blamed the Viv Ansanm gang coalition, one of the largest groups of violent gang members in Haiti.
According to an official statement, the Haitian government sent reinforcements to help local area police.
“Let there be no mistake: this time of mourning is also a challenge,” said the press release. “And to this challenge, the government responds with the force of law and the legitimate exercise of state force.”
It continued, “All security forces have been placed on maximum alert. Reinforcements are being deployed. The orders are clear: protect, secure, intervene. Government authority will be restored — firmly and without delay — throughout the entire territory of Kenscoff.”
The government added “no armed group will thrive in Haiti” and “[c]riminals will find no truce, no refuge, and no impunity.”
Haitian Bishop Joseph Gontrand Décoste of Jérémie told Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) that churches and Christians as a whole are increasingly the targets of gang violence because believers remain the last stalwart resistance against wrongdoing.
“We are the last remaining bulkhead — moral, ethical, spiritual, and prophetic,” he said. “That is why they want to eliminate us.”
For context, about 40 Catholic parishes have shut down in Port-au-Prince as Christians have faced increasingly deadly violence. In the first seven months of 2026, two priests were abducted and a seminarian was murdered. Last spring, two nuns from the Little Sisters of Saint Thérèse were killed and, in 2024, nine religious sisters, five brothers, and four priests were kidnapped.
ACN has reported gangs control somewhere between 70% and 90% of the capital city of Port-au-Prince.

Britain Warned It Faces Military Retaliation from Russia; King Leaves Buckingham Palace, Prime Minister Leaves #10 Downing Street
Hal Turner World August 26, 2026 Hits: 28796
Britain is under threat of military retaliation from Russia on account of the strikes being launched by Ukraine using British-supplied "Storm Shadow" cruise missiles.
The danger is now perceived to be so serious that King Charles and family are reportedly no longer using Buckingham Palace and Prime Minister Andy Burnham is reportedly no longer using the Prime Minister's Official Residence at #10 Downing Street.
Of course, the media in Britain is painting this as a "new international tour:"
That same British media has been hyping Ukraine and not been telling the British people that Ukraine is now losing badly. Hence, those Brits are likely to be "sitting ducks" if/when Russian retaliation

08-19-2026The U.S. national debt is hitting a staggering $40 trillion milestone this week. The Treasury Department says the debt is already around $39.9 trillion and climbing by the second – you can watch it spiraling here.
And there's another concern: the cost of paying that debt is climbing. Annual interest payments are now expected to top $1 trillion, which is approximately what the country spends on national defense.
As America's borrowing continues to rise, lawmakers could face another debt ceiling showdown as early as next year.
It's hard to fathom that much debt, but imagine the NFL's 30 football stadiums, filled to the top with stacks of $100 bills. That still wouldn't be enough to hold the $40 trillion U.S. national debt. You'd need at least seven more football stadiums full of $100 bills.
With the national debt barreling ahead, the U.S. government seems caught in what some are calling a debt-driven 'doom loop.'
To make matters worse, the Penn Wharton Budget Model warns that the national debt is actually closer to $100 trillion. Half of every dollar the government borrows now goes to interest on the debt, close to one trillion per year.
And while the economy seems fine now, experts warn that the situation could turn bad very quickly.
It seems few in Washington have the political courage to do anything about it.
Earlier this year, House Budget Committee Chairman Rep. Jodey Arrington (R-TX) condemned Congress's lack of action on the debt. "This institution has failed," Arrington said from the House floor. "We have failed our country. We have jeopardized our economy, our security, and our leadership in the world. And worst of all, we have compromised on our children's future."

And yet, few politicians in Washington are willing to essentially sabotage their chances of reelection by voting to rein in the major cause of the debt: Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.
Dominik Lett, policy analyst at the Cato Institute, said, "These three programs are the entire budget problem. And unless we address them, it's pretty much impossible to balance the budget or achieve some level of fiscal sustainability."
Meanwhile, the Congressional Budget Office warns the federal debt is on track to hit $150 trillion in 30 years, equivalent to more than a million dollars per household. And Lett says delaying entitlement cuts will only make it more painful in the future.
"We can make relatively small, if painful, adjustments now, but if we delay them, the adjustments will need to be much larger and much more significant. Benefit cuts will need to be more significant, or tax increases will need to be larger," Lett said.
Daniel Bunn, President and CEO at the Tax Foundation, said, "We've run some numbers ourselves. You need several trillion in cuts or additional taxes in order to get to a sustainable measure."
And in light of recent government fraud scandals, Bunn says to those who think a large part of the federal debt problem is fraud…it's not.
"Yes, it's something meaningful," Bunn said of the recovered fraud, "but it's not something that's going to save so much that you're going to change the overall trajectory of the debt."
Those who don't believe the debt is a problem point out that the world keeps financing it by buying U.S. Treasury notes. However, former U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson warned recently that the national debt could lead to a "vicious bond market crash." And the IMF is now calling the U.S. debt problem a "global risk."
Some experts believe the answer is letting an unelected bipartisan commission make the necessary spending cuts. But Congress would still have to vote on its recommendations. And it doesn't look like Congress will do anything until serious damage to the U.S. economy has already occurred.

Flock's fastest-growing business is 60 mph police drones that can read license plates from the sky
Privacy groups warn that flying plate readers could expand surveillance far beyond roadside cameras
By Rob Thubron August 19, 2026, 6:15 AM
A hot potato: There have been plenty of headlines about Flock's license plate-scanning technology lately, but that's not its only controversial business. The company says its Drone as First Responder, or DFR, tech – which can also read license plates from the air – is its fastest-growing segment.
Flock is best known for the roadside cameras now operating in more than 6,000 US communities. But the company is increasingly betting on drones that can be dispatched to emergency scenes before police officers arrive.
A Flock spokesperson said the firm has secured more than 200 DFR customers, including police departments and private companies. It's also ramping up production of its US-designed drones, which will be built in Georgia.
In an interview with the All-In podcast, CEO Garrett Langley explained that the drones sit in climate-controlled rooftop docks, usually on police precincts or fire departments. "When a 911 call happens, instead of sending an officer first, you can send a drone," he said.
The aircraft can fly at 400 feet and reach 60 mph, while a 40x optical zoom allows operators to inspect the scene from a distance. Flock says its DFR system arrives in an average of 86 seconds and can resolve 20% of calls without an officer being sent.
Langley described a case in the Dallas-Fort Worth area in which a woman at a gas station called 911 after seeing a man pacing with what she believed was a gun. The drone arrived in under a minute and revealed that the object was a lighter. "Normally what would happen... is like one cop would have heard that, flip on the blue lights, race down there... and someone's about to die. Instead, they launch the drone," Langley said.

Flock presents the incident as an example of how DFR can de-escalate dangerous encounters and prevent unnecessary police deployments. It was previously reported that Dearborn, Michigan, has adopted a similar Skydio system that can reach incidents in around 2.5 minutes.
Like its numberplate-reading tech, the rapid spread of DFR programs is raising concerns. As of February, more than 1,000 public safety agencies had received FAA waivers needed to automate drone operations.
The EFF warns that the aircraft can observe people through windows, in backyards, and on roofs without their knowledge. Flock also added license plate-reading capabilities to its drones last year, effectively creating flying versions of its controversial roadside cameras. The Flock Alpha drone can read license plates from up to 2,000 feet away.
Flock says DFR only activates for calls for service and that every flight is logged, auditable, and displayed through a public-facing transparency dashboard.
Langley said most customers publish audit logs and flight patterns, albeit with a delay for active investigations. But he acknowledged that oversight remains limited. "There's very little state regulation. There's zero federal regulation outside of air safety," he said.
Flock's core cameras have produced large numbers of false alerts, while officers have allegedly used its systems to stalk partners and ex-girlfriends. Moving the same surveillance capabilities into the sky will likely amplify calls for more protections and make people even angrier.

Report: U.S. debt crisis will directly harm families, students, retirees
By Th
érèse Boudreaux | The Center Square Aug 18, 2026(The Center Square) – As the national debt quickly approaches $40 trillion, economists warn that skyrocketing deficits will distinctly impact Americans of all generations, including students, families and retirees.
Global thinktank The Conference Board analyzed how different levels of budget deficits will adversely impact student loan costs, mortgage rates, Social Security payments, and small business loans.
“High levels of debt require the Federal government to spend more on interest payments, leaving fewer resources available for infrastructure, education, national defense, and social programs,” the report, entitled “How the National Debt Affects All Generations of Americans,” notes.
The debt is already larger than the entire U.S. economy – the highest in history except for the years immediately following World War II – and will hit roughly 120% of GDP within the next decade if the government fails to rein in deficit spending.
If that spending continues as projected, an incoming college student in 2028 taking out an inflation-adjusted average student loan of $45,000 will ultimately owe $279,276 on a standard 10-year repayment plan.
Under an extreme interest shock scenario, similar to economic conditions in the 1980s, the student would owe $466,303 for the $45,000 loan.
For a family of four saving up to buy a home in five years, a standard 30-year fixed-rate mortgage and a 20% down payment on a $600,000 house will ultimately cost them $2,885,136. Under an extreme interest shock, that price tag jumps to $3,644,906.
Future retirees already face a grim outlook for Social Security payments, with trust fund insolvency projected to occur by 2032. That will trigger a 24% across-the-board benefit cut unless Congress sharply increases payroll taxes or cuts deficit spending by $2.7 trillion between 2032 and 2036.
“Backfilling some or all of this amount would directly increase the deficit absent additional revenue, leading to (or even accelerating) the precise dynamics present in the bad-case scenario with higher interest rates and costs for consumer loans,” the report warns.
Deficit spending at current or increased levels also spells hardship for small business owners looking for financing. An American taking out a small business loan of $100,000 in 2031 would ultimately owe $611,950. Under an extreme interest rate shock, the borrower would owe over a million dollars.
“The national debt is not just a number on the government’s balance sheet – it affects the financial decisions Americans make every day,” David Young, president of The CEO Center at The Conference Board, stated Tuesday.
“Higher debt can mean higher borrowing costs for families and businesses, fewer resources for national priorities, and greater uncertainty about programs Americans depend on in retirement.”
Yet despite continuous warning signs, congressional action on soaring federal deficits ultimately hasn’t progressed past vigorous handwaving from a small group of Republicans.
Congress sidestepped the automatic spending cuts to Medicare and other programs that are triggered by unpaid-for federal borrowing by wiping the Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) scorecard last November.
Most recently in March, U.S. lawmakers again dodged fiscal accountability when the U.S. House tanked a balanced budget resolution. If passed, the resolution would have capped federal spending each year at the average annual revenue of the previous three years, with exceptions for emergencies.
Young warned that if lawmakers continue to avoid taking the necessary but politically unpopular actions, the U.S.’s economic situation will only worsen.
“Policymakers have choices,” Young added, “but the longer action is delayed, the more difficult and costly those choices become.”

Bond Hell Is Breaking Loose On, Or Ahead, Of Schedule
quoth the raven's Photo

Submitted by QTR's Fringe Finance
Well, that didn’t take long.
Less than 24 hours after I wrote that soaring bond yields in the United States and Japan were one of the major reasons I thought the AI bubble could finally begin breaking later this year and into 2027, global markets woke up Tuesday morning and decided to provide a helpful visual aid.
Japan got smoked, U.S. futures moved lower, bonds sold off across the developed world, oil pushed higher, and the 30 year U.S. Treasury yield punched above 5.3%, reaching its highest level since 2007.
The Nikkei fell roughly 2.5% Tuesday as investors dumped risk assets, while Japan’s benchmark 10 year government bond yield briefly touched 2.945%, its highest level since 1996. The selloff extended further out the Japanese curve as well, with the 30 year JGB yield reaching roughly 4.1%, it’s highest level in history.
Remember, this is Japan. The country that spent decades synonymous with zero interest rates, quantitative easing and essentially free money now has a 10 year government borrowing cost approaching 3%. This is the monetary policy equivalent of a hospice home community all waking up one morning and deciding to do CrossFit, then waiting to see how their bodies respond. The answer? It’s going to be ugly.
Across the Pacific, the same thing is happening in the world’s most important bond market. The U.S. 30 year Treasury yield reached roughly 5.32%, its highest level since June 2007. The 10 year was around 4.73%, while U.S. equity futures pointed lower Tuesday morning as investors digested the global bond selloff.
As CNBC pointed out this morning, recent U.S. retail sales and labor market data have been cooling, exactly the sort of information that would normally provide some relief to bonds. Instead, long yields are going the other direction, and that is what should scare the shit out of people.
When yields rise because the economy is booming, markets can at least tell themselves a pleasant story. Earnings will rise, consumers are healthy, growth will bail everybody out and, presumably, Nvidia will eventually manufacture enough GPUs to find a cure to male pattern baldness. When long term yields rise while growth data are weakening, the story becomes much less pleasant because now you’re potentially talking about inflation, fiscal credibility, sovereign supply, foreign demand and the term premium investors require simply to lend governments money for 20 or 30 years.
Right on cue, foreign holdings of Treasuries declined in June, with Japan, China and the United Kingdom all reducing their holdings, according to Treasury data cited by the above linked report. Meanwhile oil is throwing gasoline, literally, onto the problem, creating precisely the combination bond investors don’t want to see: softer growth accompanied by persistent inflation pressure.
This is why the move might not be merely a Treasury story. It could be a global duration revolt. Japanese yields are hitting multi decade highs, American long bonds are hitting multi decade highs, European borrowing costs are moving higher and stocks are beginning to notice. The bond market appears to be telling governments around the world that the price of capital they became accustomed to is no longer available. And that’s a problem...(READ THIS FULL ARTICLE 100% FREE HERE).

Warning that mammoth nationwide blackout could last 18 MONTHS as power grid's appalling weak spots exposed

The United States is at risk of a nationwide blackout that could last 18 months, according to the former chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
Jon Wellinghoff became aware of the alleged vulnerability after a shooting at a Pacific Gas and Electric Company's San Jose substation, according to the The New York Times Magazine.
He conducted a power flow analysis that modeled the large-scale effects of knocking out the most critical substation in each of America's three power grids: the Western, Eastern and Texas interconnections. He said this led him to discover just how easy it would be to cripple America's power supply.
'We came up with some very astounding numbers,' Wellinghoff said. 'If you knock out nine total substations among these three grids, you can black out the entire United States.'
It does not matter which nine substations are taken offline either, he noted, as long as each one is among the 10 most important for its region.
Alternatively, bad actors could blackout the three interconnections individually.
'I mean, it's not like there are particular substations,' he explained. 'You just have to figure out what are the top 10 critical ones in each of those interconnects - which to do that, it's probably something that a bunch of 12 year olds with the Internet could do pretty easily.
'All you have to do is look at a map of the grid and figure out where most of the wires go into the substations - that's a critical substation.'
Jon Wellinghoff, the former chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, concluded that the United States is at risk of a nationwide blackout that could last 18 months
Once he made that terrifying discovery, which came back in 2013, Wellinghoff briefed the White House, Congress and the Department of Energy.
'I basically wrote a memo about what happened and gave it to everybody I could to explain to them that we need to do something immediately,' he said.
It warned that a blackout caused by lost transformers could last 18 months or longer.
The Department of Homeland Security then sent a delegation around the country, urging utilities to increase security at their substations.
'We did a nationwide tour to alert owners and operators about the vulnerabilities,' said Caitlin Durkovich, the then-assistant secretary for infrastructure protection.
But with more than 200,000 miles of high-voltage transmission lines and roughly 55,000 substations scattered across the country, 'there is awareness that you can't protect everything.'
A year later, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, an industry-led public-private entity charged with protecting the grid, published a 'reliability standard' for utilities. This required them to assess their substations and prepare a plan to defend them from physical attacks.
How to do so was left to the utilities.
If the United States were to experience a year-long blackout, the results would be catastrophic.
At first, critical infrastructure like sewage plants, water treatment plants and hospitals would be able to remain operational as long as they have enough diesel or natural gas. Those with emergency radios could also listen for updates from one of 73 Primary Entry Point Stations, which are supplied with 60 days of generator fuel.
But once the diesel ran out and natural gas pumps shut down, it would become more difficult to restore the grid, considering so many utilities rely on fossil fuels to 'black-start' their generating units.
At that point, 'the supply of food, water and fuel would degrade within days,' according to a 2010 report prepared by NERC and the Energy Department.
It added that 'communication of information to the general population would be greatly complicated by the loss of cellphones, internet access and television' and 'the economy would virtually shut down as electronic transactions could no longer be processed.
'After several days, widespread social unrest and confusion would ensue.'
The United States would then have to rely on international aid for food, fresh water or diesel, while the federal government focused on repairing or replacing the damaged transformers.
If they found that only the cooling systems were compromised, it is possible that the international community could make some replacements relatively quickly.
But everything about the process, from sending the specs of the damaged transformers abroad to coordinating deliveries would be difficult, according to The Times.
As Mark Lauby, chief engineer of NERC, noted, even though energy represents just seven percent of the economy, 'it's the first seven percent because nothing else works after.'
If entire units had to be replaced, the situation would become even more dire as each one would have to be individually designed and built from scratch, a process that could take months, followed by the weeks required to send them across the ocean to ports that had hopefully found a way to operate on little to no power.
It would then be difficult to transport the 800,000-pound transformers across the country and the final installation would require specialized cranes and gantries that would be in short supply – as would be the diesel needed to run them.
Lauby, though, has insisted that the network's complexity and built-in redundancies make the kind of cascading blackouts predicted by the FERC 'unlikely.'
Wellinghoff also acknowledged that America's power grid has changed in the decade since his report, and said it is possible that new transmission lines have added resilience to the system.
Still, the threat remains, as neo-Nazi groups continue to study the attack on the San Jose substation as a model and tensions rise between the United States and its adversaries.
China has already been caught installing a backdoor software in one large power transformer being shipped to a federal utility in Colorado, the Times noted, and earlier this month, Iran was linked to a recent sabotage of water systems in several states.
Durkovich now worries America's enemies will feel emboldened to consider substations a valid target.
'The United States is actually normalizing attacking critical infrastructure within Venezuela and Iran,' she noted.
The risks also seem to be greater now than they were a decade ago due to supply chain shortages during the COVID pandemic and the increased strain on the power grid due to the massive data centers being built.
When the San Jose facility was attacked, it took the electric utility 27 days to bring the substation back online using a group of 'troublemen' – experts in grid repairs – to replace the cooling systems on the broken transformers.
But since 2021, the average wait time for a large power transformer that you can find at a major substation has grown from less than a year to 128 weeks – with some lead times growing to five years.
Adding to the problem is the fact that vast numbers of transformers already installed on the grid have to be changed. Manufacturers estimate that some 75 percent of distribution transformers, the smaller units on street corners and atop telephone poles, are past the end of their expected service life, which maxes out at around 50 years.
The average age of the country's large power transformers, which often have a shorter lifespan, was also estimated 12 years ago to be between 38 to 40 years.
Meanwhile, demand for transformers in 2027 is expected to be more than double that in 2020 due to massive data centers.
Yet domestic manufacturers can only produce about 20 percent of the transformers purchased in the United States; a half-dozen other countries, including Mexico, South Korea and China supply the rest.
Those domestic manufacturers are now hindered in their efforts to build more due to the tariffs on copper and aluminum, according to Chris Hart, chief executive of transformer manufacturer Central Moloney.
'Costs are up almost 20 percent,' he said. 'We need relief on all of the metals.'
Transformer manufacturers are also struggling to find master craftsmen that can create the individualized transformers needed for each substation. Hart claimed that some of the new hires are missing out on even the most basic of skills.
'We literally, in some of our facilities, begin our training process with lefty loosey, righty tighty,' he claimed. 'If all of the business for transformers across the globe shifted back into the United States, I don't think we could staff it.'
Amid these difficulties, there are fears the United States does not have a comprehensive plan for how to respond to a nationwide blackout.
In 2015, Congress ordered the NERC to study the idea of a strategic transformer reserve, but the idea was shelved in favor of a voluntary utility-led equipment-sharing program, The Times reports.
NERC also holds biennial war game exercises called GridEx, simulating how utilities and various local, state and federal governments would respond to a more limited outage, but participation is optional.
The federal government may now need to consider a plan in which only a few power plants far from the affected substations are able to restart in the event of a nationwide blackout, as suggested in a 2018 report to President Trump.
The president has since invoked the Defense Production Act to allow the government to directly support manufacturers of grid equipment, including producers of electrical steel.
Peter Lake, who until late last month was the senior director of power for the White House National Energy Dominance Council, urged transformer manufacturers to 'come talk to us, come to the NEDC, come talk to the DOE.' He noted that the federal government had a 'range of financial tools that are available' to support the manufacturers.
Meanwhile, a company called Amperesand is developing a solid-state transformer made of smaller modules that can be easily replaced if they are damaged, while their input and output voltages can be controlled via 'power electronics.'
And Jared Delello, who directs government activities for Delta Star, a transformer manufacturer with four facilities across North America, said his company is expanding production with an explicit aim to 'solidify the US's position at the forefront of AI development.'

In drought-stricken France, tankers supply drinking water
Andreas Noll
08/19/2026
August 19, 2026France is seeing water shortages in regions that usually have plenty of supply. This summer's extreme heat is exposing how unprepared much of the country, and Europe, is for increasing water scarcity.
Since early August, huge silver tanker trucks have been paying a visit to the town of Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines in Alsace, eastern France, twice a week. They aren't delivering heating oil or milk, but drinking water from the nearby town of Liepvre.
Sainte-Marie, with its population of 5,000, is located in a green valley in the Vosges Mountains and usually relies on about 20 mountain springs for its water. But the flow rate has fallen after weeks of intense heat and drought.
Liepvre, just a few kilometers away, is connected to a larger water supply network that extends toward the Alsatian plain. Here, there is still enough water despite the drought but because there is no permanent connection between the two systems, tanker trucks are effectively functioning as a water pipeline on wheels.
According to the French government, more than 40,000 people have been affected by water cutoffs or supply disruptions this month, and 550,000 are at higher risk of losing stable access.
A drone view shows a bridge with sandbanks of the Loire River in Montjean-sur-Loire. The river has almost completely dried up
The drought has affected large parts of France and water restrictions have been put in place in many regions, but tanker trucks are only being used in certain areas. This depends on what sources or groundwater reserves a municipality relies on for water and whether it can easily switch to other resources.
More than a dozen municipalities in the Jura Mountains, further to the south in the department of Doubs, are also currently being supplied by tanker trucks.
Drought increasingly frequent in France
This situation is not new for France. In the summer of 2022, which was also exceptionally dry, tanker trucks were used to supply hundreds of municipalities with water. Others depended on bottled water.
Coucouron, a village in the Massif Central region of southern France with just under 800 residents, was severely affected.
Signposts for the village of Coucouron
Though it's located at a height of more than 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) in a region rich in water and where three major French rivers — the Loire, the Allier and the Ardeche, have their sources — an important spring ran dry after months of drought. Tanker trucks had to bring water to the villagers for months.
But drought wasn't the only reason for these problems. Experts discovered that there were several major leaks in the water supply network. Once they had been repaired, the village's water consumption dropped by about 40 cubic meters per day. A 6-kilometer-long (3.7-mile) pipeline linking to an additional water source is expected to bring more stability.
Coucouron is not an isolated case. On average, only about 79% of the water fed into supply networks in rural France reaches consumers. Nationwide, the average is around 84%. But repairs are slow, and currently only about 0.6% of pipes are replaced every year.
Extreme heat batters economy
Extreme heat and drought are also taking their toll on the economy. Monique Barbut, France's minister for the environmental transition, has estimated that the direct and indirect costs of this year's heat waves now could reach between
€10 and 15 billion (up to $17.4 billion).After the dry summer of 2022, President Emmanuel Macron declared water a national priority. A "Water Plan" unveiled in spring 2023 included more than 50 measures, including the target of a 10% reduction in water consumption by 2030 and plans to modernize the water supply network and fix leaks. Since then, some €1.4 billion has been spent on the national plan.
Supply chains at risk as Rhine dries up
In 2023, authorities identified some 170 municipalities whose water systems lost more than half of the water supplied to them. Within three years, over 100 had managed to reduce their losses.
Saving water is not only a matter of tapping into additional water sources or repairing dilapidated pipes. The scarcer water becomes, the more competition there is for this precious resource. Households need drinking water, farmers need water for irrigation and factories also need it for production. Increasingly, the question is how to determine which uses should be restricted and prioritized in an emergency.
One-third of EU population lives with water scarcity
France isn't alone in being unable to cope with long periods of drought. According to the European Environment Agency, seasonal water scarcity and water stress affect roughly 30% of the European Union's land area and almost one-third of its population.
In 2025, the European Commission presented the first European Water Resilience Strategy, which outlines plans to increase water efficiency by at least 10% by 2030 and modernize infrastructure.
German municipalities impose water restrictions
On the other side of the Rhine River in Germany, there is currently evidence in the Black Forest region that spring and groundwater levels are declining.
So far, the Badenova service company seems to have enough groundwater supplies. But several municipalities in the Dreisam Valley have asked the company to make preparations for transporting water by tanker truck, if need be.
Technology can't solve all problems
How Europe deals with increasing water scarcity depends heavily on its geography. Thanks to a network connecting lakes, canals, locks and pumps, the Netherlands can usually supply households with water from the Rhine and Meuse rivers. But this summer there has also been an official water shortage in that country, so additional freshwater is being stored and distributed strategically.
Southern Europe has long been planning for water shortages. Large reservoirs and long-distance pipelines have become standard in Spain, which also relies on seawater desalination processes in particularly arid regions.

Hoover Dam crisis fears grow as stark warning is issued to 40 million Americans
MORE: Meteorologist reveals America's most dangerous cities in super El Ni
ño's 'corridor of chaos'See more Daily Mail on Google - save us as a Preferred Source
By CHRIS MELORE, US DEPUTY SCIENCE EDITOR
Published: 17:20 EDT, 18 August 2026 | Updated: 22:59 EDT, 18 August 2026
Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the US, has dropped to its lowest water level in history, sparking urgent warnings that water shortages and power outages could be coming soon.
Formed by the Hoover Dam on the Colorado River between Nevada and Arizona, the reservoir was once considered full when the water level was at a height of 1,220 feet above sea level. As of Tuesday, the water had dropped just under 1,040 feet.
The massive drop-off, and a similar decline at the Glen Canyon Dam, which supports another reservoir fed by the Colorado River 300 miles away, may soon lead to hydroelectric power production being shut off at both facilities.
The US Bureau of Reclamation, which manages dams and reservoirs, has warned that each dam is just feet away from being forced to shut down their turbines, which supply nearly two million people with electricity in Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Nebraska, Wyoming and Utah.
Overall, 30 to 40 million people could be affected by the Colorado River drying up, as seven states rely on the major waterway for drinking water, household plumbing and farming.
Cities such as Las Vegas, Phoenix and Los Angeles, as well as many smaller towns across the Southwest, get a large share of their water from these reservoirs.
The water crisis stems from extreme drought conditions throughout the region, but particularly near the Colorado River's source in the Rocky Mountains, where very low snowpack totals have meant less frozen water melting into the river to fill it.
The problem has become so dire that the dropping water levels in Lake Mead and Glen Canyon Dam's Lake Powell can be seen from passenger planes thousands of feet high flying into the Southwest.
At Lake Mead, the power outage problem has already reached alarming levels. Lake Mead's current water levels sit just five feet from hitting the point where older turbines at the hydroelectric facility will be forced to shut down to avoid damage.
Only newer 'wide-head' turbines can keep running at the lower water levels, however, this will lead to a sharp drop in power output.
The power coming out of Lake Mead at Hoover Dam serves over one million people across Arizona, California and Nevada. It generates about four billion kilowatt-hours of hydroelectric power each year.
Once the drought conditions drop those levels below 950 feet, the entire facility will have to shut down.
Lake Powell is just 30 feet away from dropping to the point where its hydroelectric turbines will need to shut down, adding another 300,000 people across the Great Plains and Southwest to the power crisis.
If the water in Lake Powell or Lake Mead drops too low for the dams to generate power, utilities that normally buy the cheap hydropower will have to scramble for replacement power from other sources.
Typically, this means more expensive natural gas or other options which can raise electricity bills for customers in the region and put further strain on the power grid - increasing the risk of a blackout in extreme conditions.
The water itself can still be released downstream through smaller pipes, but with less control and capacity, making it harder to manage supplies for cities to use in homes and farms to use for crops.
JB Hamby, chairman of the Colorado River Board of California told the Associated Press: 'It’s extremely significant and extremely concerning. You have three-quarters of the population of the Colorado River Basin, some 30 million people, who are directly impacted by risks to Lake Mead.'
A July report by the Bureau of Reclamation projected that the Lake Mead reservoir could drop by another 33 feet in the next two years. The reservoir is currently operating at less than 27 percent capacity.
One local, named John Belton, wrote online: 'There's only two things that can save Mead and Powell right now: 150 percent Colorado Rockies snow pack for five consecutive years, or God himself.'
Unfortunately, conditions are only predicted to worsen, especially this week, as a massive heat dome moves over the western half of the US.
AccuWeather has forecasted that high heat and humidity will combine to make states from Arkansas to California have a 'feels like' temperature near or surpassing 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
Higher temperatures increase evaporation and reduce runoff, meaning even less snowpack from the Rockies will make it to the Colorado River and replenish the region's water supply.
Last month, the Bureau of Reclamation released a ten-year plan for how to operate Lake Powell and Lake Mead after the current rules expire at the end of 2026.
With the two lakes falling to record lows, the plan allows for mandatory water cuts, referred to as 'shortages,' across Arizona, California and Nevada.
The cuts were estimated to be up to 40 percent of what those states currently get from the reservoirs.
Hamby said: 'The proposal responds to a fundamental reality: the Colorado River no longer reliably produces enough water to support all the uses and expectations built around it.'

South China Sea breakdown leaves Navy destroyer powerless for several days
By JOSEPH DITZLER
STARS AND STRIPES
Published August 17, 2026
· Updated August 17, 2026A guided-missile destroyer that’s part of the USS George Washington Carrier Strike Group was adrift four days without power in the South China Sea following an equipment failure last month, according to 7th Fleet.
The USS Benfold on July 24 suffered an “engineering casualty” involving its generators, which caused a power loss, according to an email Monday from fleet spokesman Cmdr. Matthew Comer.
“There were no injuries to the crew, who demonstrated resilience, grit, professionalism and unwavering steadiness in their response,” he said.
USNI News first reported the Benfold incident on Friday.
The power outage affected the ship’s potable water, air conditioning, toilets and galley services, according to the email. Comer did not detail the impact on the ship’s water supply.
“We commend the crew on their actions and resilience,” he said.
The strike group came to the Benfold’s aid, and crew meals were supplied by the cruiser USS Robert Smalls, according to 7th Fleet.
Contracted tugboats towed the Benfold to Subic Bay, Philippines, where personnel from Ship Repair Facility – Japan Regional Maintenance Center, headquartered at Yokosuka Naval Base, Japan, met the ship on July 28.
“The crew was provided food and contracted lodging off the ship beginning, July 29. The ship’s power was restored, July 30, and all required repairs were completed prior to Benfold berth shifting for fuel, Aug. 7,” Comer wrote.
The ship departed Subic Bay on Aug. 8 and is now at Yokosuka.
The strike group meanwhile started Thursday for the Middle East, where it will relieve the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, the Navy announced last week.
The George Washington was on a regularly scheduled deployment when media reports surfaced of sailors aboard the Abraham Lincoln struggling with the strain of a lengthy deployment, including reported attempts by some crew members to jump overboard.
The Abraham Lincoln, deployed since November, was sent to the Middle East in January, in time to take part in air operations the following month against Iran in Operation Epic Fury.
Families of sailors on board the carrier have complained of worsening conditions during the lengthy deployment – poor food, inadequate air conditioning and other quality of life issues.

?? China just launched a shipping route that skips the Suez Canal and the Strait of Hormuz entirely.
A Chinese container line, started its regular "Ice Silk Road" service through Russia's Northern Sea Route this week, running almost the whole way along the Arctic coastline.
The first vessel, Dubai Tower, carries 1,740 TEU, tiny next to a modern mainline containership running 20,000-plus TEU.
The crossing takes about 20 days, versus roughly 40 days via Suez, half the transit time on paper.
Rosatom, Russia's state nuclear company, issues the Arctic navigation permits and supplies the nuclear-powered icebreakers that keep the route open in ice season.
Rosatom is already calling this the next step toward regular seasonal Arctic shipping, not a one off...
Strategically this matters more than the ship size suggests.
It's a Europe-Asia corridor that sidesteps Suez, Hormuz, and the Red Sea, all the chokepoints this account has covered all week, and gives China a shipping lane that doesn't run through anyone else's waterway.
One small ship doesn't reroute global trade but pair this with everything else running this week, the Yanbu to Sidi Kerir reroutes, Oman's Duqm bypass hub, and now a functioning Arctic corridor, and the pattern is the same everywhere...everyone's building a way around the chokepoints that used to be unavoidable.
user avatar
Sadly to go that route the carriers have to sign a contract with the Russian nuclear ice breaker operator Rosatom who has been sanctioned by OFAC, which means that no company that does business with the United States can put containers on those ships.

Iran's growing incentive to escalate leaves Trump with no easy way out
Deliberations in Tehran over a shift to an "offensive approach" reflect a change in Iranian thinking: The greater the economic pressure, the stronger the incentive to initiate a new conflict. Sanctions are hurting, but they are unlikely to force the regime into a public surrender. Washington will have to choose between costly, unpredictable escalation and accepting Iran's terms.
by Danny Citrinowicz
Published on 08-18-2026 10:15 Last modified: 08-18-2026 12:58
Reports of discussions in Iran about adopting an "offensive approach," meaning a deliberate return to escalation, shed light on several assumptions underlying the thinking of Tehran's current leadership: It does not want an endless war, it refuses to capitulate to the president's demands, and it is determined to preserve what it regards as its achievements in the conflict. If forced to choose, and this appears to be a question on which it has already made up its mind, Iran will opt for escalation rather than surrender.
Economic pressure is indeed hurting Iran, but the pain does not flow in only one direction. US sanctions and pressure are inflicting significant damage on the Iranian economy, but Tehran believes it can shift part of the cost onto the global economy, first and foremost by disrupting energy flows and undermining regional stability. The United States has continued tightening sanctions on Iranian oil, shipping and financial networks in recent months, while also enforcing a naval blockade.
Iran will not indefinitely accept a status quo that allows the US to reap the benefits of "maximum pressure" at little cost. Current Iranian thinking places greater emphasis on initiative and offensive action, and the longer the economic siege continues, the stronger Tehran's incentive will become to initiate friction and create new sources of leverage.
Contrary to US President Donald Trump's hopes, there is not necessarily a stable middle ground.
Washington cannot assume that it can continue applying maximum pressure, avoid reaching an agreement and at the same time pay no price. In a scenario of prolonged escalation, even freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz cannot be taken for granted, as illustrated by the delayed agreement with Oman that is ostensibly intended to facilitate it.
There is no quick knockout blow against Iran. Additional pressure on China, an attempt to tighten the land blockade or another round of sanctions are not magic solutions. They can make life extremely difficult for Iran, but they will not necessarily force it to capitulate. As Iran's distress deepens, Tehran's default response will be to try to raise the price paid by its adversaries and, in this case, by the global economy as well.
The US administration still appears to have difficulty understanding how the Iranian system thinks. The regime can compromise, make tactical retreats and even change policy, but publicly surrendering under pressure runs almost directly counter to the ethos on which it is built.
That is why frustration in Washington, and especially for Trump, is likely to mount. He appears increasingly unable to avoid deciding between the two options that have confronted him for months: costly and unpredictable escalation, or the humiliating acceptance of Iran's terms.
For Washington, the choice is between bad and worse.

Trump threatens to 'BOMB the s*** out of' US ally in unhinged tirade as ceasefire runs out
Sign up HERE to our DC Insider newsletter - your guide to what's rocking Washington, rattling the White House and setting tongues wagging on the Hill

By PHILLIP NIETO, US POLITICAL REPORTER
Published: 08:00 EDT, 17 August 2026 | Updated: 16:21 EDT, 17 August 2026
Donald Trump threatened to ‘bomb the s***’ out of Oman if it continues negotiations with Iran without American approval as the ceasefire with Tehran nears its expiration.
Oman, a major US defense ally in the Middle East, is negotiating with Iran over a plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by placing the narrow waterway, through which one-fifth of the world’s oil passes, under joint control.
Trump has previously stated that Iran will not be allowed to control the waterway by charging US-backed oil tankers levies or taxes.
The President issued a dire warning if Oman moves forward with its negotiations on Monday morning during a Fox News interview. He said: 'If Oman gets in the way, we'll bomb the s*** out of them.'
The Strait of Hormuz has been shut since Iran closed it after US and Israeli airstrikes in late February. It remains a key sticking point in peace talks.
Oman has a history of serving as a friendly mediator between the White House and the Iranian regime.
The country helped broker the 2015 Iranian nuclear deal and has acted as a US defense partner in the Middle East since 1980.
Trump's threats against his own ally come as the 60-day US-Iran ceasefire is set to expire today, raising fears of renewed fighting that could further destabilize the region and disrupt global oil supplies.
Trump's Monday morning warning to attack Oman is not the first time the President has threatened the US Middle Eastern ally.
In May, during a Cabinet meeting, a reporter asked Trump whether he was comfortable with Oman jointly controlling the strait with Tehran.
'The strait will be open to everybody,' Trump said before being asked who would control it. 'Nobody is going to control it... We will watch over it.'
Trump then turned his attention back to Oman, threatening to attack the country.
'Oman will behave just like everybody else or we'll have to blow them up. They understand that. They'll be fine,' Trump added.
Oman did not publicly respond to Trump’s threat at the time. However, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the following day that Oman’s ambassador had assured him Muscat had no plans to charge vessels for passing through the strait.
Iran has effectively shut down the strait by deploying suicide drones, naval mines and speedboats against US-aligned tankers to gain leverage in negotiations with Trump.
The disruption has sent shockwaves through global oil markets, with crude climbing to $89 a barrel Monday morning and US gas prices reaching $4 a gallon.
Trump has responded by imposing a naval blockade on Iranian ports in an effort to choke off the regime’s trade and force Tehran back to the negotiating table.
Trump’s blockade has yet to produce a breakthrough, with the regime resisting US efforts for months to restart negotiations and accept Washington’s nuclear demands.
The US is demanding that Iran halt uranium enrichment for 20 years, abandon any pursuit of a nuclear weapon and surrender its entire stockpile of enriched uranium.
Iran is demanding sanctions relief, access to billions in frozen assets, an end to the US blockade, war reparations and control over the Strait of Hormuz.
The fragile ceasefire broke down in July after Iran attacked commercial vessels in the strait. The US responded by launching strikes against regime radar systems and missile sites along the Persian Gulf.
Iran, in turn, launched ballistic missiles and drones at US-allied Gulf states, including Kuwait, while targeting American military bases across the region.
Since the war began, 18 US service members have been killed and hundreds more wounded over the last six months.

Nation's biggest bank warns of global food 'crisis' in 2027, citing bad weather and wars in Iran, Ukraine

Get ready for another round of sticker shock at your local grocery stores and food markets.
The nation’s largest bank has just put out a chilling report that confirms what I have been warning about since the first week of March: A global food shortage is coming, caused by war and bad weather, leading to widespread famine as we get into 2027.
In a report titled Food Security Is National Security: A Compounding Storm, a team led by London-based senior global economist Nora Szentivanyi warned that disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz and the emergence of a potentially historic El Niño could weaken crop yields, constrain agricultural production, and keep food inflation elevated through the first half of 2027.
While we in America, Canada and Europe can expect to pay higher food prices and may have to cut back elsewhere, other countries will be in worse shape. Think about the migration storm that will cause, as people in the Third World leave their countries and head for wealthier countries that have more food.
“Successive shocks since COVID have compounded, eroding food production capacity and keeping food price pressures elevated into 2027,” Szentivanyi said, warning that “this is not a short-lived shock; it has reduced the likelihood of near-term disinflation, and the food inflation cycle is likely to exert pressure through 1H27.”
JP Morgan Chase’s report on a looming food crisis rocked the internet as people posted on it across social media platforms today.
What this means is that a larger segment of the population is going to wake up and start stocking up. That means prices will go up even faster than they have been, as demand increases, and those prices will rise faster than they would have if the masses hadn’t been suddenly jolted into reality by an establishment institution like JP Morgan Chase and all the press coverage that entails.
So before it’s too late and bulk purchases become exorbitant, I’d say now is the time to purchase in bulk if you can afford it. For those not in a position to buy in bulk, start buying an extra can or two each time you go to the grocery store and hopefully by next year you will have a stash that’s able to ease the pain.
Farmers facing shortages or overly expensive fertilizer, depending on their financial position, can either absorb the cost, use less of it or switch crops. Each choice would reduce supply and raise food prices after the next harvest.
“Rising fertilizer prices could lift global food inflation temporarily to 4-5%,” warned Szentivanyi, author of the JP Morgan report. She expects the most severe impact on food prices to appear after a months-long lag time, once we get into 2027.
That will bring another inflation shock for Americans who are still dealing with a price shock on gasoline, diesel and food prices.
Why JP Morgan sees a threat to the food supply
According to MoneyWise, the Middle East supplies roughly 42% of global urea exports and 27% of ammonia exports, two key fertilizer ingredients for staple crops.
The Iran conflict and closure of the Strait of Hormuz have disrupted those supplies. JP Morgan said nitrogen fertilizer prices rose between 25% and 50% from late February to April, while nitrogen markets are expected to remain tight through the second half of 2026.
Nitrogen fertilizer must be available when crops are planted and there are no widespread strategic reserves. JP Morgan estimates damaged fertilizer plants could take up to four years to repair, while some natural gas facilities could take up to five years.
Grain supplies also face pressure, thanks to the Russia-Ukraine war. Ukraine’s agricultural exports fell about 75% year over year during the first two weeks of August, as Russian attacks nearly halted Black Sea shipments. Ukraine produces around 6% of the world’s wheat and 11% of its corn.
Ukrainian strikes have also closed major grain terminals at Russia’s Novorossiysk port. Russia is the world’s largest wheat exporter, shipping $9.2 billion worth of it in 2024.
Iran war getting ready to heat up again as Trump makes new threats and Iran promises more aggressive stance
Now that the 60-day Memorandum of Understanding has expired in the U.S./Israel-Iran War, both sides are talking about restarting attacks on the other.
President Trump even threatened today, August 17, to bomb Oman if it “gets in the way” of negotiations with Iran.
Shockingly, a detailed post to X over the weekend by former Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene stated that she has sources on the inside of the Trump administration who have reported to her that Trump has also discussed the possibility of using nuclear weapons against Iran.
Greene spent years as one of Trump’s most ardent supporters before breaking with him and eventually leaving her Georgia congressional seat after Trump threatened to unseat her in the primary election by running one of his toadies against her.
Writing on X on Sunday, Greene claimed that White House discussions of the nuclear option have gone considerably further than the public debate surrounding the war has suggested.
According to Greene, Trump and senior advisers are “discussing using nuclear weapons on Iran in strategy meetings.”
I have repeatedly warned, most recently in my August 5 post, that the Iran war comes with a high risk of going nuclear. This would send radiation throughout the region and beyond, further destroying food crops, potentially for 10 years or more.
Trump, in my opinion, is exactly the type of leader who would resort to nuclear weapons if he thought that was his only way of avoiding defeat in a regional conflict against an opponent (such as Iran) that refuses to submit to his gunboat diplomacy. I believe if Trump was to decide to go down that route, it would backfire and only hasten the demise of the post-World War II American-led world order.
Backing up Greene’s allegations are the reports last week that the U.S. Pentagon is rewriting its nuclear doctrine to allow for first-strike use of shorter-range tactical nukes in a regional war scenario.
Meanwhile, Iranian leaders have repeatedly said they’re done talking with U.S. negotiators whom they see as untrustworthy peace partners. They announced they plan to wait until a new president takes office before restarting talks.
According to an August 17 Reuters report, Iranian leaders have also decided to take a new approach to the war, changing to a “fully offensive” military posture instead of merely responding defensively after each new military strike by the U.S. and/or Israel.
All of this adds up to more uncertainly and chaos in a world that is already drowning in it. It also adds further support to my theory that Trump was allowed a second term for the very reason that he is a known chaos agent who will not hesitate to turn established U.S policy and military doctrine on its head. Before the globalist power elites can implement their long sought after digital reset, they must first destroy what’s left of the old order. Trump is helping them do that in spades.

Governments Don’t Like It When We Gather Without Their Permission
by J.B. Shurk
August 17, 2026 in Opinions, Original
There are a number of ways in which Western governments are waging war against their citizens. The United Kingdom, the European Union, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and leftists in the United States do not believe in free speech. These Western governments also spy on their citizens without warrants or probable cause. They have transformed their court systems into ideologically-partisan dictatorships that impose rulings based upon feelings and “political correctness,” rather than black-letter law and self-restraint.
An offense that often gets overlooked, however, is Western governments’ infringement of citizens’ freedom of association.
Buy physical precious metals before the next gold and silver surge. Don’t buy numismatics! Buy pure bullion instead. Whether with cash or retirement funds, learn how we can help you prepare for financial turbulence ahead.
Freedom of association is our natural, God-given right to meet with likeminded people, discuss ideas, express ourselves, and promote our mutual interests. As with freedom of speech, it is fundamental to any notion of liberty. Respect for freedom of association is the bedrock for religious freedom, freedom of conscience, communal identity, and national self-determination.
Countries are born when people of common ancestry, language, history, and customs choose to work together and defend their way of life. Towns spring up when likeminded people settle and develop a region together. Religious congregations grow through common worship. Schools, skilled trade unions, clubs, sports leagues, and civic organizations of all types are formed when people come together to pursue similar interests and advance shared ideas.
At its heart, freedom of association respects human beings’ natural inclination to cooperate with others to build something together that would not be possible for any one person to build alone. As a voluntary commitment to pursue a group’s common aims, it is the collective expression of each individual’s personal liberty.
As with all God-given rights and liberties, government power (or State authority) is the greatest threat to freedom of association. When governments prevent people from discussing ideas, worshiping together, working together, or pursuing common interests, the State is using its monopoly on the lawful use of force to infringe citizens’ inalienable rights.
What we see across the West is the bureaucratic State imposing its political will in defiance of the collective will of citizens.
Perhaps the most glaring problem of the last several decades has been Western governments’ refusal to secure their national borders. There is no more natural political association than a nation state’s citizenry. Over centuries and millennia, tribes of similar peoples came together to protect their lands and resources from foreign invasion, while promoting domestic order, safety, and peace.
The rule of law traces its origin to common customs, personal duties, social obligations, religious convictions, and beliefs. Both political philosophers and ordinary people with common sense tend to define a government’s foremost obligations to include two complementary tasks: (1) to secure territory from invasion and (2) to promote the common law. Governments that successfully perform these duties advance their citizens’ natural freedoms, general welfare, and domestic peace.
By opening up their borders and inviting millions of foreigners to take over parts of their nations, Western governments have undermined their own citizens’ self-determination. They have directly attacked citizens’ freedom of association in the context of forming nation states. These governments have effectively destroyed the natural associations formed by generations of Westerners over many centuries.
Because respect for the rule of law originates with common customs and beliefs, the introduction of foreign populations (who have no interest in assimilating) immediately erodes domestic safety and peace. Western governments betray their citizens twice: First, they fail to secure their territories from invasion. Second, they make domestic tranquility an impossibility.
But attacks on Westerners’ freedom of association go much further than open borders. Because Western governments are clearly conspiring to facilitate mass migration without the consent of their respective citizenries, these governments are particularly invested in preventing their peoples from resisting the invasion of their lands. In order to silence public dissent, governments have chosen to abrogate citizens’ natural freedom to assemble together and protest their governments’ criminality. We see this taking many different forms. In Europe, political parties that seek to secure borders and limit immigration are designated “right-wing,” “fascist,” “nationalist,” and “threats to national security.”
Those last two insults are peculiar contradictions; Europeans who wish to protect their nations are simultaneously branded “threats” to the nation state. In the United States, any voter who supports President Trump’s border security policies risks being harassed online, de-banked from financial institutions, fired from jobs, and targeted by Democrat prosecutors. In both the Old and New Worlds, the freedom of citizens to work together to fight their governments’ dangerous open borders policies is under constant attack.
Mass migration, however, is only one of many government policies that have been deemed so “sacrosanct” that citizens are not allowed to organize against them. Western governments continue to threaten and prosecute Christians who seek to end government-sanctioned murder of unborn babies.
Advisor Bullion Numismatics
Under the Biden administration, the FBI placed concerned parents on domestic terror watchlists for publicly opposing “transgender” indoctrination in schools. Across the West, pro-family organizations that encourage strong marriages between one man and one woman are either officially or unofficially identified as “hate groups.”
The Southern Poverty Law Center in the United States has made a fortune over the years falsely acting as an authority on what kinds of public associations should be promoted and which should be condemned. While celebrating Black Lives Matter as a civil rights group (even though its member have caused billions of dollars in property damage and left dozens of unsolved murders across the country), the SPLC routinely designates conservative organizations and publications as threats to civil rights — designations that have prompted illegitimately-predicated law enforcement investigations, IRS scrutiny, censorship, and de-banking.
During Western governments’ COVID totalitarianism, freedom of association was effectively eliminated. Friends and families were not allowed to celebrate birthdays or comfort dying loved ones.
Workers were not allowed to make a living. Congregations were not allowed to attend church services. Students were not allowed to learn together. Athletes were not allowed to compete against each other. Clubs were not allowed to operate. Civic organizations were shut down. Online dissent was censored. Medical researchers who opposed lockdowns, mask mandates, and forced experimental injections were denied any opportunity to work together.
Western governments essentially outlawed people from associating together and sharing their experiences and opinions. And they prohibited freedom of assembly unless that assembly was part of the violent and destructive network of Antifa and Black Lives Matter domestic terrorists intent on burning down parts of major cities.
Today, we see freedom of association under constant attack in two separate public domains: (1) the local community and (2) the online community.
Heaven's Harvest
During Joe Biden’s presidency, his administration transplanted over ten million foreign nationals into unsuspecting towns across the United States. In the United Kingdom, some small villages now have six migrant men to every local woman.
After Spanish authorities did nothing to prevent the invasion of Ceuta, foreigners have destroyed the small enclave in a matter of days. This unnatural phenomenon is occurring in every corner of the West. The common feature is that Western governments show outright disdain for the self-determination of local communities.
Likewise, Big Tech continues to work hand in glove with Western governments to shadow-ban, demonetize, and outright censor any associations of people opposed to official government policy. Western governments claim these attacks on free speech and freedom of association are necessary to combat “disinformation,” promote online safety, and protect so-called “Western values.”
But the values that Western governments are committed to securing are not Western values at all; they are shameless infringements of Western citizens’ natural, God-given rights and liberties.
When governments prevent people from choosing their next-door neighbors and online friends, they target the essence of personal freedom. Such abuse constitutes an attack on freedom of association and a war on Western citizens.

College evangelists share the 3 most disturbing shifts they have seen among students
BlazeTV Staff
August 16, 2026
Cliffe and Stuart Knechtle join Allie Beth Stuckey to discuss nearly 50 years of campus ministry and the most shocking change they have seen.
Since the 1980s, Cliffe Knechtle has been evangelizing on college campuses as part of his “Give Me an Answer” ministry. His son Stuart joined him in 2015, and together the father-son duo continue to conduct their open-air Q&A sessions on campuses around the nation, addressing students’ questions and doubts with the explicit goal of sharing the gospel.
In the nearly five decades “Give Me an Answer” has been operating, Cliffe has had a front-row seat to observe college students devolve in many disheartening ways.
On this episode of “Relatable” with Allie Beth Stuckey, Cliffe and Stuart explain the three biggest factors that have changed since the dawn of the ministry — and which one has been the most disturbing.
The emotional fragility of students is something Cliffe didn’t have to consider back when the ministry began — but today, it is something he is forced to adjust to everywhere he goes.
“My dad grew up in Switzerland, and when he was 18, he sat up in the Alps with a gun, watching Hitler's Panzer divisions roll toward Switzerland. My grandpa, my dad's dad, was in the front lines with his gun,” he reflects. “Today, when Donald Trump wins the election, university students go to a crying room to get counseling.”
This hypersensitivity has been a challenging factor to adapt to, he admits.
“I'm so grateful for Stuart and for my wife, Sharon, because they've helped me understand that and helped me not be quite as harsh and quite as direct as I have often unfortunately been,” Cliffe shares.
The second shift he has seen is the growing belief in moral relativism — the idea that right and wrong are subjective.
“Moral relativism and sexual immorality has become so commonplace that if you stand against that, you are really, really weird,” says Cliffe.
The third shift he has seen is the rising conviction that science is the ultimate truth.
“Unfortunately, what has become too firmly entrenched is unless you can prove it scientifically, it's not true,” says Cliffe.
“It's fascinating to watch — one group is totally into relativism, and the other group is into unless you can scientifically prove it, it's not true,” he continues, “and so to be able to address both of those camps is a challenge.”
It is difficult, he explains, because the gospel, with a few minor exceptions, is largely opposed to moral relativism, and while the gospel of Jesus Christ is “based on evidence,” it is not based on "scientific proof."
But of all three shifts, Stuart finds the second — the rising belief in moral relativism — to be the most shocking.
He shares a story from one of his college campus visits where a large group of students followed him around, pressing the issue of euthanasia.
“When I started 11 years ago with [my dad], I did not see — for the first few years, at least — any type of devaluing of human life — the relativizing of human value like I do today,” he says.
“[At one campus], this group follows me — very, very progressive group — to a corner where I was eating a sandwich. And they corner me and they say, ‘Hey, how dare you say that you are going to try and save the life of a suicidal 16-year-old woman? That's devaluing her freedom and autonomy. If anything, you should aid her in her decision to kill herself,”’ Stuart shares.
Their certainty, he says, left him “shell-shocked.”
“They wouldn't say get a noose or, you know, push her off a cliff. They were more so saying, though, a type of euthanization like the elderly get, you know, whether it's a pill or something along those lines,” he says, “and so they pressed me for a good hour in a very angry way.”
“Personal autonomy and freedom is considered really the top idea and thing to pursue, even more so than the value of human life.”

Flock Schmock. New Israeli Spy-Tech Can Hack Every Cam in U.S. // URGENT REPORT
Fock is a problem. But some of Flock's investors have a new company, founded by an former Israeli Prime Minister and Unit 8200 Commando. And it's here to hack every single camera in the country.

Somewhere in Columbia, Maryland, a few miles from Fort Meade, a company most Americans have never heard of just finished moving into a building. It didn't come from Silicon Valley. It came from Tel Aviv, founded by a former Prime Minister of Israel. Its business is finding cameras that already belong to somebody else, breaking into them, and changing what they show. Not watching. Changing. While you've been staring at the pole camera on your street corner arguing about Flock, this company spent two years quietly walking through the front door of the American security state, and it just told the public it already has customers here. It won't say who.
“What’s that?” I asked one of my clients back in 2023.
I worked in finance, and he had pulled into our offices with what appeared to be cameras strapped to his car. His company “secured collateral” for ours. In other words, he was a repo guy. He told me, “That’s how we do what we do,” he told me, before explaining that finance companies, skip-tracers, private detectives, buy-here/pay-here car dealers, and anyone else who wants to can place license plate numbers in a database, pinging anyone with one of those cameras when they scan it, and they are always scanning, all the time. He told me he made extra cash between repos by laying warranty alerts on cars for manufacturers when they couldn't reach the owner by mail (proving they were notified of the warranty to decrease their liability concerns). The money he made from placing warranty fliers paid for the cameras. But the big money was repos. It didn’t matter if the lienholder was in Alaska; if the car is spotted in Atlanta, anyone driving by with such a camera would be dinged, and the car would be legally repossessed at the next stop.
This, of course, horrified me. My further questions revealed that the local police don’t use it, but they call him, and he uses it for them. But the company he used also stored the data, and most believe it’s being compiled. What that means is that, with the volume of cameras out there, they likely know which doughnut shop you're at on Tuesday mornings and the route you take home from work.
I’ve followed a watered-down, civilian-level “pattern of life” deterrence rules for years - taking different routes home to be unpredictable, or taking unnecessary turns when being followed, etc.- because paranoia has always been a hobby. I spent weeks researching ways around these new devices; chemical sprays for the license plate (illegal), magnetic obstructions (illegal), invisible flashing license plate holders, you name it. None work. If they want you, they will find you. And the “they” in this hypothetical is absolutely anyone with the cash to pay, and it comes cheap.

FLOCK
Three years later, and the technology has grown exponentially. If you have spent any time on social media lately, you’ve probably learned what a Flock camera is. The automated license-plate readers have been quietly multiplying alongside American roads for years, perched on poles at intersections, entrances to subdivisions and parking lots, photographing passing vehicles and turning those photographs into searchable records of where cars have been and when they were there. Suddenly, everybody seems to be looking up and noticing them. Roughly 120,000 Flock cameras now operate across 49 states, generating an estimated 20 billion scans every month. More than 50 jurisdictions have ended their relationships with Flock after the outrage - largely thanks to Tucker and many others who’ve sounded the alarm - while other jurisdictions are reconsidering, and the backlash has become so intense that the company announced sweeping new “safeguards” this week.
The outrage is not difficult to understand. A Flock camera does more than photograph the license plate of a car suspected in a crime. It photographs everybody’s car, builds a database from the resulting images, and lets authorized users search that accumulated history when they want to know where a particular vehicle has been. A tool sold as a way to find stolen cars and murder suspects therefore creates something much larger as a byproduct: an enormous privately operated network capable of reconstructing portions of the movements of ordinary Americans who were never suspected of doing anything wrong. The problem is that a machine capable of finding a kidnapped child is also capable of finding your ex-wife. Some police officers apparently figured that out.
More than 50 officers have now reportedly been accused of misusing automated license-plate-reader systems, with Flock involved in most of the tracked cases. Officers have been accused of using the network to follow spouses, girlfriends, and other people for reasons unrelated to legitimate police work. In Georgia alone, multiple officers were fired and arrested this summer following investigations into their use of Flock. This week, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office suspended three deputies’ access while investigating possible misuse (just their access to the software, not their jobs). CEO Garrett Langley has effectively conceded that relying on police departments to police themselves was not enough.
Another problem is receiving considerably less attention. Researchers say Flock can be hacked. Flock says it never has been. Some experts disagree. After confirmed police misuse of Flock, it’s bad enough that cops have access to it. It would appear that the giant spy network could be vulnerable to people even less scrupulous than they.
The Flock controversy therefore contains three separate problems that tend to get mashed together. There is surveillance, because an enormous network continuously records vehicles belonging overwhelmingly to innocent people. There is access, because thousands of law-enforcement users can search portions of that network and some have allegedly abused that privilege. And there is security, because every internet-connected device presents some attack surface, and researchers have demonstrated it’s possible. No matter how secure that system allegedly is, America has planted tens of thousands of networked cameras along its roads, and a security state is in place. The nightmare of a dystopian, Orwellian existence imagined in practically every sci-fi or futuristic book and movie is now reality.
That should bother you. It bothers people on the political left who spent twenty years warning about the surveillance state, and it bothers people on the political right who have recently discovered that the surveillance state occasionally considers them worthy of surveillance, too. The backlash has become remarkably bipartisan. Flock cameras have been vandalized, covered, and turned into a national symbol of a government that seems increasingly incapable of encountering a new technology without asking how efficiently it can be used to monitor us. There are now 120,000 cameras, and 20 billion monthly vehicle scans, keeping tabs on people who never broke the law.
YOU’VE SEEN NOTHING YET
But suppose, just for a moment, we’ve seen nothing yet. Suppose it gets much, much worse. Suppose the frightening development is not merely a company building its own nationwide surveillance network, but technology designed to locate existing cameras, penetrate them remotely, take control of their feeds, and watch through them. Suppose that tech could reach beyond purpose-built police cameras to ordinary internet-connected surveillance devices, like Ring cams, dash cams, web cams, and phone cams. Suppose the operator could manipulate what a camera was showing in real time, reach backward into recorded video and alter that too. The nightmare would no longer require somebody to install a government camera outside your house. The cameras already surrounding us would constitute the raw material.
Such technology does not belong to a dystopian novel, and I am not describing some hypothetical capability that might exist twenty years from now. Internal company documents obtained by Haaretz have already described the existence of this class of spy tech. A former Israeli prime minister and one of Israel’s highest-ranking military cyber officials founded the company behind it. One of the same venture-capital firms behind Flock also backs it. Brought to you, in other words, by some of the same people who brought you Flock.
The company’s name is Toka.
And so while Flock cameras are now trending on social media and Americans are waking up to the fact they’ve all been staring in a real-world version of Big Brother, Toka has been quietly moving its headquarters to the United States, openly recruiting intelligence personnel to sell its technology to the Pentagon and American intelligence agencies, and now says it already has customers here. And its customers, supposedly, only include the government.
THE FASCINATING SOURCES USED TO WRITE THIS ARTICLE, AND MORE FOR YOUR OWN ADDED RESEARCH, ARE LINKED BELOW.
ISRAELI SPY TECH
Toka was founded in Israel in 2018 by former Israeli Prime Minister and Defense Minister Ehud Barak and retired IDF Brigadier General Yaron Rosen, who had served as chief of the Israeli military’s Cyber Staff. Joining them were Alon Kantor, a former Check Point executive, and Kfir Waldman, a veteran of Cisco and Israel’s technology sector. From its beginning, Toka was aimed not at consumers or ordinary businesses but at governments, intelligence agencies, militaries and law enforcement. The company’s messaging is careful and antiseptic, describing technology for “targeted intelligence,” “forensic investigations” and “covert operations.”
But according to documents obtained by Haaretz, an operator could designate a geographic area and identify vulnerable security cameras within it. Toka’s technology would then exploit those cameras, allowing its customer to watch their feeds without the camera owner's cooperation. The target could be an ordinary internet-connected camera made by anyone - like your Ring cam. Those cams could become intelligence assets simply because somebody had found a way inside them. Toka described the idea in its own marketing materials as transforming “untapped IoT sensors into intelligence sources.”
Haaretz reported that Toka’s technology could manipulate video feeds and previously recorded footage. A technical expert who reviewed the materials for the newspaper said the manipulation could be performed without leaving evidence that the camera had been compromised. Secretly watching through somebody else’s camera is surveillance. But secretly changing what the camera recorded attacks the reliability of the record itself. A camera that supposedly provides objective evidence of what happened can instead become a tool for changing what everyone subsequently believes happened. It’s a framing tool. Why would governments want to plant false video?
Ordinarily, the argument is about whether authorities had the right to obtain the footage. But once technology capable of covertly altering stored recordings exists, the question is: how do you establish that the video being presented today is real?
Toka has pushed back against claims it’s a hacking company. Rosen has described its position as “something in the middle” between offensive and defensive cyber operations, and the company presents its products as “lawful tools restricted to vetted government customers.” Its technology has also been subject to Israeli Defense Ministry oversight. They advertise that to help people sleep better at night, knowing it couldn’t possibly be used for ulterior motives.
I’m not saying that Toka has hacked a Flock camera. But what has been demonstrated independently is that Flock’s physical cameras are not invulnerable. Security researcher Jon Gaines demonstrated a method of hacking into a Flock camera in roughly thirty seconds with physical access to the device. GainSec researchers subsequently documented more than 50 vulnerabilities, including outdated Android components with hundreds of known vulnerabilities, while another incident exposed more than 60 live camera feeds online. Flock is bad enough. Now, imagine the government - or your enemies - has access to all of Flock. And every other camera in your home. That tech exists.
America has spent billions of dollars covering itself in networked cameras while an Israeli cyber company has simultaneously spent years developing tools for turning other people’s networked cameras into intelligence sources. And both companies have some of the same investors. One of the companies is also overseen by the Israeli Ministry of Defense.
Right now, we Americans are presently arguing about whether police should be allowed to install 120,000 cameras, and which agencies should be permitted to search them. Toka eliminates the first requirement altogether. The camera could have been installed by a business owner, a city, another police department or somebody who thought he was purchasing a security system to protect himself. The useful intelligence asset is no longer merely the surveillance network somebody deliberately constructed. It is the universe of vulnerable cameras already connected to the internet.
And if Toka were merely an obscure Israeli cybersecurity company selling exotic tools on the other side of the world, that would already make for an interesting story. It isn’t. The people behind Toka lead directly back into an intelligence and surveillance ecosystem I’ve brought to you at I2I before. Including a former Israeli prime minister whose name appeared repeatedly in our investigation of Jeffrey Epstein, Unit 8200 and the commercialization of Israeli surveillance technology.
Yes, Ehud Barak is back. This time, as far as I can tell, Epstein isn’t.
PREVIOUS I2I INTEL REPORT
I2I subscribers may remember Ehud Barak from an investigation I published in February into Jeffrey Epstein’s involvement in the Israeli surveillance-technology industry. That article followed a trail stretching back to the PROMIS software scandal of the 1980s, through Israel’s extraordinary investment in military cyber capabilities, into the modern ecosystem of former Israeli intelligence personnel who leave government service and build enormously valuable commercial technology companies. One recurring figure was Barak, who developed an extensive relationship with Epstein and later became involved in an Israeli emergency-communications startup eventually renamed Carbyne.
Carbyne offered emergency dispatchers dramatically improved location information, video communications and other data that could help police, firefighters and paramedics respond faster. Behind that perfectly legitimate application, however, sat an unusual collection of people from the Israeli national-security world. One of Carbyne’s early directors was Pinchas Buchris, the former commander of Unit 8200, Israel’s signals-intelligence unit. Co-founder Alex Dizengof had worked in cybersecurity for the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office. Former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff joined the board. And sitting among them was former Israeli Prime Minister and Defense Minister Ehud Barak.
Epstein’s role made that story considerably stranger. Barak acknowledged that Epstein helped finance the company through an investment arrangement in which Barak was also involved, and reporting later established that Epstein’s participation was intentionally kept out of public view. Epstein was simultaneously cultivating relationships across the technology and intelligence worlds, corresponding extensively with Barak and taking a particular interest in Israeli cyber companies. That was the part of the Epstein story that fascinated us because it was so different from the story everyone else was telling. While the public stared at the cameras in Epstein’s bedrooms, his money and relationships were intersecting with people building considerably more sophisticated surveillance technology. My February article argued that the cameras on Little St. James were only one part of a much larger story about information, access and the commercialization of intelligence capabilities.
Toka brings us back to Barak through a different door. Epstein does not appear in the company’s publicly documented founding or financing history. Barak himself co-founded Toka in 2018 with Alon Kantor, Kfir Waldman and retired IDF Brigadier General Yaron Rosen. This was not simply Barak buying shares in an interesting cybersecurity startup after somebody else built it. Toka announced him as one of its founders from the beginning. Eight years later, the same company is openly advertising technology for covert government operations and says it has customers in the United States.
Share
Rosen may be even more relevant to understanding what Toka actually is. He served as an Israeli Air Force pilot before rising to brigadier general and becoming chief of the IDF Cyber Staff, where he helped coordinate the Israeli military’s cyber activities. That puts one of the men responsible for building Israel’s military cyber capabilities beside a former prime minister and defense minister in a private company commercializing cyber capabilities for foreign governments. Toka did not emerge from a Silicon Valley garage populated by four college kids trying to build a better doorbell camera. Its pedigree runs straight through the Israeli national-security establishment.
If you recall from that article, Israel has spent decades developing an unusually sophisticated cyber workforce through its military and intelligence institutions, especially Unit 8200 and adjacent cyber commands. Veterans routinely leave government service for the private technology sector, taking with them skills acquired while working on real intelligence and military problems. Many have built successful cybersecurity companies, and have made the Israelis billions. Most are invasive tech that spies on Americans, including Cellebrite’s phone-forensics technology and the Pegasus spyware. Much of that tech, experts believe, was created through U.S. public-sector research and development by the CIA’s InQTel or DARPA, shared with Israeli Intelligence (for free), given to a freshly “retired” Unit 8200 CyberCommando, and sold back to Americans through an Israeli Silicon Valley start-up. We know the money is going back to Israel. But many suspect our intelligence data is, too. The Waze GPS app is one example that has raised these suspicions. If you’ve used it, there’s a good chance Israeli intelligence knows the route you take to church.
That was the central historical lesson I drew from PROMIS in February. The cleverest way into another country’s information infrastructure is not necessarily to break through the window. Sometimes you build something the target desperately wants, convince him to purchase it, and let him open the front door himself.
Toka is now opening that door in the United States. But before I get to Washington, another connection makes the sudden national fixation on Flock cameras almost perfectly timed. Toka and Flock do not merely inhabit the same world of surveillance technology. They share a major investor, and one of the men behind that investment firm personally tried to put both technologies into the hands of the same American police department. That man is Ben Horowitz.

Putin loses 43K soldiers on Ukraine battlefield in one of bloodiest months since start of war
By Gabrielle Fahmy
Published Aug. 15, 2026, 6:27 p.m. ETRussia suffered some of its most staggering losses of the war in July, while Kyiv made its largest territorial gains in more than a year, according to the Ukrainian Defense Ministry.
Moscow’s military lost 42,860 men on the battlefield last month, which includes soldiers killed and wounded, the most since January 2025 — and the fourth bloodiest month since the start of the war in 2022.
With total casualties now allegedly nearing 1.5 million and recruitment increasingly becoming an obstacle for Russian President Vladimir Putin, the tyrant could soon be forced to engage in peace talks if he runs out of soldiers, experts have posited.
Putin has become so desperate in recent months, he’s had to lure his countrymen to join the war effort with false promises of “quiet service” — or recruit Africans under similarly deceitful schemes.
An estimated 30,000 to 50,000 North Koreans troops are being prepared to be deployed in Russia, according to Ukraine. The Putin ally already sent 15,000 soldiers back in 2024.
Ukraine, meanwhile, says it has liberated close to 300 square miles along the southern front, retaking 26 settlements along the frontline and placing them back under full Ukrainian control.
Kyiv has pushed Russian troops back more than seven miles on the southern front, near the intersection of the Dnipro, Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions, through small attacks to gradually erode Russian control gradually.
Overnight int the past day, Ukrainian forces fired missiles deep inside Russia — causing “significant damage” at a military airbase, an oil depot and a state-run aerospace center.
Long-range Flamingo missiles struck the Savasleyka airbase in western Russia, 435 miles from the border. It houses MIG-31 jets carrying ballistic missiles that strike Ukrainian cities and villages, but it’s not known how many jets were hit in the attack.
Explosions were also heard in Samara, where Kyiv struck the Progress Rocket Space Center, one of the key enterprises of the state-run aerospace corporation Roscosmos.
“The progress center, which was involved, among other things, in producing electronics, was hit. Flamingo missiles were used — a good achievement,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
At some 560 miles from Ukraine’s border, it was Kyiv’s deepest strike into Russia of the war.
van Noskov, head of the Samara, called it a “massive attack.”
Kyiv also damaged an oil facility in Ust-Luga, which caught on fire, 500 miles from the border, Zelensky said.
“It is important that Russia’s war potential be reduced,” he wrote on X. “Peace is needed, and this must be evident in Russia – through concrete damage to specific facilities.”
Ukraine fired at least seven guided bombs, 17 Flamingo cruise missiles and 1,328 drones over the past day, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
Russia responded with 152 Shahed drones, killing a 3-month-old child in Dnipro and injuring 49 others across Ukraine.

US lost 45 Reaper drones in Iran war, raising supply concerns for future hostilities - report
In May, Chief of Staff Gen. Kenneth S. Wilsbach told the House Armed Services committee that during the war, the Reaper was "perhaps the most valuable player."
ByLEO FEIERBERG BETTER

The US lost at least 45 MQ-9 Reaper drones during Operation Epic Fury, equaling 25% of its prewar fleet, the Washington Post reported Thursday evening citing three US officials familiar with the matter.
Some of the drones weren't shot down by anti-drone measures, a fourth official told the newspaper, claiming that in a number of cases, communication between the drone and operator had failed.
The US Department of Defense declined to comment on the report.
In July, a US defense official said Iran had downed roughly 30 Reapers, and Iran has claimed to have done so frequently since the start of the war in February.
MQ-9 Reaper drones can cost as much as $50 million per unit, though some cost less due to specific equipment. With a flight time longer than most UAS systems and a payload of up to 1,700 kg, the system poses a deadly danger to enemy targets.
During the war with Iran, the US relied on Reaper drones heavily. In May, Chief of Staff Gen. Kenneth S. Wilsbach told the House Armed Services committee that during the war, the Reaper was "perhaps the most valuable player" and that it had been utilized in "many many strikes."
Munitions reportedly running low as defense officials deny reports
Reports that the US is running low on Reapers come as other reports of supply shortages have circulated in recent weeks.
US President Donald Trump reportedly expressed his frustration over US munitions shortages earlier this month, CNN reported. Trump was reported to have brought up the issue during a cabinet meeting, the report said.
Publicly, Trump denied the notion of a shortage, writing on Truth Social that the US has "massive amounts of 'munitions.'" Amid rumors that he had singled out Defense Department head Pete Hegseth for criticism, the White House rejected that claim and Trump himself praised the Pentagon chief in another Truth post.
Despite public denials, the Defense Department recently ordered defense industry leaders to increase weapons production. Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg wrote that the US must "dramatically accelerate our program schedules and expand our production capacity now," according to a memo obtained by The Washington Post.
While most reports of shortages have focused on missiles, a potential shortage of drones could still pose a significant challenge, especially as the White House weighs whether to bring the Iran War back to full speed or seek an end to the hostilities.

Rare glimpse inside Iran: The plan to topple the regime without Israeli help
The regime in Tehran is trying to convince the world that it emerged from the war stronger than ever, but testimony from inside Iran paints a different picture. In a special interview with Israel Hayom, an Iranian opposition activist reveals what is happening behind the ayatollahs' iron curtain.

Nearly six months after the second Iran war broke out, the regime in Tehran is working hard to project an image of invincibility. Its senior officials describe the Strait of Hormuz as a "doomsday weapon" that brought the US to its knees. Drones and missiles are being launched at Arab countries around the clock. Maritime security in the Persian Gulf is under constant threat. Some would say the regime has only grown stronger, its position more firmly entrenched and its deterrence more powerful than ever.
But testimony from inside Iran paints a more complicated picture. On the streets, people are acutely aware of the leadership vacuum and the divisions within the regime. Tensions between the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the government are worsening by the day. Meanwhile, the Iranian public is being squeezed between the consequences of the economic crisis and brutal repression by regime forces. Hardly a recipe for stability.
Young Iranians are still trying to keep the flame of resistance alive. Time and again, the regime tries to drown it beneath waves of despair, fear and disappointment. Time and again, those attempts fail. That is what happens when reality is worse. The regime has taken everything from them in exchange for illusions.
In an exclusive interview with Israel Hayom, an Iranian political activist offers a rare view from inside the country. Speaking on condition of anonymity, the activist, who belongs to the Progressive Students movement, Daneshjouyane Pishro in Persian, agreed to tell us what is happening behind the iron curtain. In recent months, internet access has been blocked for extended periods, preventing citizens from communicating with the outside world. Some have used VPN connections abroad or other methods to relay messages to relatives.
Unafraid of the long road ahead
In recent years, Progressive Students has been active at universities in central Iran and has supported the Woman, Life, Freedom movement, the protest movement that emerged in 2022 following the shocking death of Mahsa Amini, an Iranian woman whose only "offense" was that the morality police claimed she had not worn her hijab properly.
For now, their struggle is focused on the most basic of freedoms: the freedom to move around without fearing that your liberties will be violated because of what you wear; the freedom to demonstrate without fearing for your life; the freedom to determine your future in genuinely democratic elections, without restrictions and disqualifications imposed by Iran's Guardian Council; the freedom to live with dignity.
"The streets of Iran have become the arena for two confrontations," the Iranian activist said. "The . Government supporters see the fact that the Islamic Republic was not destroyed under the first is between the Islamic Republic and the US and Israelprhe US and Israel. essure of attacks by the US and Israeli militaries as proof that they and the government defeated t
"They also turn this imagined victory into an issue in their second confrontation. They want to impress the public and tell people, 'You saw that America and Israel couldn't overthrow us? Well, neither can you. 'They wave flags as though we, the people, tried to destroy them with bombs and missiles and failed. From the outset, they manufactured an artificial movement (in the streets) to claim that they were the majority. Later, and continuing to this day, they have tried to create an atmosphere of terror. They want to create the impression of an 'immortal government,' an Islamic Republic that cannot be destroyed under any circumstances. But we, the forces that believe in Woman, Life, Freedom, know that we are dealing with a pufferfish, not a shark."
What did you think of the mediated talks between the US administration and the Iranian regime?
"What for? The government of the Islamic Republic has been at war with Iranian society since January 2017, and it has been pushed back continuously in that war. As people who began our political activity during those protests, we can say that we have been through a process and that the situation has changed dramatically.
"In 2017, we were a handful of disgruntled students. We worked hard to instill the desire for revolution among the friends who made up our initial core. Compare that situation with Iranian society today. We have reached the point where we are proposing a political alternative based on networking. We have established contact with many political forces, including parties, organizations and women's freedom groups, and we are working seriously with them. Protesters in Iranian society have good reasons to bring the revolution against the Islamic Republic to victory.
"We think there are two factors that are not being taken into account in these negotiations. First, Iranian society has both the power and the desire to protest for radical, revolutionary change in the country. We want modern, Western lives, free of a backward culture.
"Second is the extremely weak position on the Iranian street of those forces advocating negotiations. The Islamic Republic's power base rests on the Revolutionary Guards and the Basij, and on those who played the role of the people's killers during the protests. The government faction, the gang around Ghalibaf, Pezeshkian and others, does not have the ability to wrest power from the Revolutionary Guards. Quite simply, because under the Islamic Republic the language of government in Iran is the language of force and nothing else. Most of the forces identified with the reformists, such as Pezeshkian, for example, are little more than economic partners with no role in regulating political power."
We are all prisoners
Alongside the political turmoil, Iran's economic crisis is deepening. According to various reports, the country is suffering from severe fuel shortages, a paralyzed banking system and soaring inflation. Added to that is the US blockade, which has brought crude-oil exports to a near standstill.
The Financial Times reported this week that Iran was still receiving income from cargoes that left the Persian Gulf during the ceasefire and were only now reaching buyers in Asia. However, no tankers carrying cargoes have been seen loading at Kharg Island, Iran's main oil-export terminal, which has been idle since the end of July. "It looks as though the Islamic Republic is burning through all its strategic reserves," the activist said. "High prices are making life difficult for everyone, and dissatisfaction is evident across every sector.
"We are not currently seeing food shortages, but that doesn't mean people have access to food or even a minimum standard of well-being. Quality of life in Iran is steadily disappearing. Food prices have risen to the point that meals have to be prepared with very few ingredients. Even the price of legumes has risen sharply. In the past, people talked about how a young person could ever afford a home and a car. Now they talk that way about food, basic-quality groceries and making a living. Buying clothes or going to a cafe has become a huge monthly expense for young people. The situation for families is far worse, and there is an enormous wave of family conflict, mainly because of economic problems."
The domestic pressure is evident not only in economic hardship but also in the regime's continuing repression. At the beginning of this month alone, Iranian authorities announced the execution of two prisoners, Omid Behzad and Pouria Safvat, who had been convicted of "spying and intelligence cooperation with Israel."
In July, human rights organizations reported that dozens of prisoners, including minors, could face execution. Reports indicate that dozens of people are known to have been executed on security-related or political charges. Those, of course, are only the people whose cases are known. The fate of those who are not executed is hardly better. They are given lengthy prison sentences, subjected to flogging or tortured.
"The ," the activist said. "All Iranians, and protesters in particular, have experienced firsthanRevolutionary Guards repeatedly declare that their policy is based on intimidating civilians and people who are not members of the organizationd the brutality of these savages. They know that confronting this force means killing or being killed. The Revolutionary Guards and the Basij have placed ever-increasing pressure on civilians since January. They have effectively taken the families of people killed in the protests hostage so that they will say nothing about their loved ones.
"They have also taken hostage the relatives of people sentenced to death and the families of political prisoners. We have many reports that even second- and third-degree relatives of people sentenced to death are under enormous pressure to conform to government demands. For us, the protesting public that believes in a revolution like Woman, Life, Freedom, the Revolutionary Guards are like prison guards. The only reason they cannot kill all of us is that there would be almost nothing left of society. Otherwise, they would do it."
The divisions that followed
After regime leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was eliminated in the opening strike of the war, his son, Mojtaba Khamenei, was chosen as his successor under pressure from the Revolutionary Guards. Only this week, long after his appointment, footage of the younger Khamenei was released. It did not put to rest reports about his poor health, difficulties communicating with him or questions about who is actually running the country.
One of the regime's most powerful figures is Ahmad Vahidi, a veteran Revolutionary Guards commander. Vahidi is wanted by Argentina over his alleged involvement in the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires and previously served as Iran's defense minister. Rumors about Mojtaba Khamenei's condition were fueled by the fact that he confined himself to written statements and avoided public speeches.
Another prominent figure is former Revolutionary Guards commander Mohsen Rezaei, who was appointed this week as secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council after serving as Mojtaba Khamenei's military adviser. In July, Rezaei described the Strait of Hormuz as "more important than dozens of atomic bombs."
For the regime's opponents, these are signs of weakness that cannot be ignored. "Ali Khamenei, the former leader of the Islamic Republic, managed the power structure in such a way that the reins of government were concentrated in his own hands," the Iranian activist explained. "After him, given that he had no complete political trust in any of those who survived the war, we can say with a high degree of confidence that the power vacuum is far more significant than the roles being played by Mojtaba, Vahidi or Ghalibaf's gang.
"In our assessment, the division of forces within the government looks like this: There is the fundamentalist gang close to Khamenei, the supposed 'believers' in the 'cause of resistance.' They were given the task of physically suppressing the people and controlling the country's military and security sphere. Then there is the reformist gang, which was instructed by Khamenei to provide the political groundwork required for the repression carried out by the regime.
"In reality, these are two arms of the same body, and Ali Khamenei used to be at its head. The separation between them was the elder Khamenei's trick for preserving his legitimacy, and it worked for decades. He managed to engineer both Iran's security sphere and its political sphere. But now this project has lost not only its leader, but the only person capable of maintaining a balance of power between those two arms in response to changing conditions at home and abroad," he added.
"The elimination of Ali Khamenei was the smartest decision ever made. These two arms are at odds with one another and will probably spend some time fighting over how political roles, repression and the military-security sphere are divided between them. We have to make the most of this situation and exploit the confusion among our enemies. It appears that neither of these two arms is capable of completely replacing the other."
Let change grow from within
The student movement is not interested merely in bringing down the regime. It wants to establish an entirely different system of government. When the war began, one of Israel's stated objectives was to create the conditions for regime change. In that context, reports emerged of plans developed within the Mossad to install former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as the country's leader. As expected, the proposal drew fierce criticism in Israel, since Ahmadinejad was one of the most antisemitic and repressive presidents in the history of the Islamic Republic. There is also Iran's national trauma over past attempts by Western powers to engineer regime change.
Against that background, the movement stresses that it opposes foreign intervention aimed at installing a new ruler. Instead, it advocates assistance for existing domestic movements. "We want to establish a government in Iran in whose formation the people themselves will genuinely participate," the activist said. "We do not rely on coups or foreign intervention to determine the fate of Iran's government. We support political, military and international assistance to create civilian and military resistance cells against the Islamic Republic. We have the courage to say that we will bring about the fall of the Islamic Republic by every possible means.
"For us, a democratic government is one grounded in the experience of the Woman, Life, Freedom movement. We see that movement as an ideological foundation for changes in Iranian society. A major grassroots intellectual movement that succeeded in changing the DNA of political struggle in Iran is now our compass. We understand that the existence of a genuine political alternative capable of confronting the executioners and taking power from them requires political clarity and a spirit of progress.
"We are realistic about politics, and when major changes such as war occur, we implement our long-term policies very quickly. Our response to the events that followed the 2022 Woman, Life, Freedom protests, such as the Oct. 7 massacre, the fall of Bashar Assad in Syria, changes in Iraq and other developments that weakened the Islamic Republic and political Islam across the region, was to propose a political alternative centered on Iran. We have a plan, and it is already being implemented."
In that context, what do you think of the shah's son, Reza Pahlavi? Is he someone who could lead an interim government in Iran until democratic elections are held?
"Reza Pahlavi had the material opportunity to play a positive role in the changes taking place in Iran. He has the support of lobbyists and is known to possess considerable wealth, which gives him the ability to shape a narrative and build a media operation. But he has disappointed us repeatedly. The fact that he is unable to control his supporters, or that he himself organizes people to reject and push aside other political movements, is extremely worrying. We do not want, after everything we have fought for, to descend once again into assassinations, repression and executions.
"You are a journalist in Israel, and you found us and asked us questions. We do not believe we are so inaccessible to someone who claims to be leading a revolution that, even today, there is no contact whatsoever between us and his team to coordinate political activity. Meanwhile, we are in constant contact with various political parties, from Kurdistan to Azerbaijan and Balochistan, as well as political figures from both the Left and the Right. Given everything we have said, we cannot realistically imagine him playing such a role (as an interim ruler).
"Iranian society, and particularly the progressive and pro-modernization forces that today make up the majority of those who consistently struggle against the Islamic Republic, are deeply critical of Pahlavi's personal leadership and performance. We would rather not continue blocking the path forward. We do not see the political arena as a struggle between ideologies, ethnic groups and tribes. We see it as a playing field for forces that must reach understandings through dialogue. We have taken that mission upon ourselves, and many students, women and young people have joined us.
"We consider ourselves responsible even for those Pahlavi supporters who shout, 'Death to the Left.' Unlike Pahlavi's approach, we want to represent all of Iranian society. That is why we consider ourselves bound to political flexibility, to assessing reality and to making the best possible decision on that basis. We hope Mr. Pahlavi will finally acknowledge reality, change his current way of operating and fulfill his responsibility to Iranian society as the representative of his supporters."
Finally, what is your message to Israel? Do you believe peace between the two countries will be possible in the future?
"We have already declared our message to all the peoples of the world. That message was 'Woman, Life, Freedom.' We want our country, Iran, and the peoples of the region to live in peace and prosperity, not in the shadow of Islamist terrorism and war crimes. Our criterion for relations with governments is the interests of the citizens of our country and universal human principles that no one should violate.
"We have stated that, despite our criticism of some of the Israeli government's actions, the people of Israel are not our enemy. On the contrary, they have succeeded in building a country in which the human rights of the population, including women's rights and children's rights, meet higher standards than in other countries in the region. We judge the strength of a nation and its objectives according to those criteria. That is why we believe peace with the Iranian people could carry with it a message of victory for modernity and Western values. Peace among the countries of the Middle East can help us avoid repeating the tragedies we have experienced."

Erdogan vows ‘resolute’ fight for Palestinian statehood
Aug 13, 2026
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan declared Wednesday that his government would press forward with unwavering determination to secure a fully sovereign and geographically contiguous Palestinian state with eastern Jerusalem as its capital. According to a report from World Israel News, the pledge came during a joint news conference in Ankara with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
Erdoğan accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of attempting to erase the Palestinian cause from the world’s agenda by exploiting regional chaos and conflict. “They will not succeed,” he stated firmly. The Turkish leader further charged that Israel was pursuing unlawful actions in Judea and Samaria and strongly opposed any provocations intended to alter the status quo at the Al-Aqsa Mosque and other holy sites in Jerusalem.
He also stressed the need to create conditions for the reconstruction of Gaza and reaffirmed Ankara’s commitment to supporting the Palestinian people and defending their rights.
Abbas had arrived in the Turkish capital on Tuesday afternoon for a two-day visit. He was received at the airport by Turkish Trade Minister mer Bolat and the Palestinian Authority’s ambassador to Turkey, Nasri Abu Jaish.
The accompanying delegation included senior figures such as PLO Executive Committee member Ziad Abu Amr, Fatah Central Committee member Maj. Gen. Majed Faraj, who heads the Palestinian Authority’s General Intelligence Service, and Abbas advisers Majdi al-Khaldi and Mahmoud al-Habbash.
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich sharply condemned the visit, labeling Abbas “an enemy at the head of a terror authority that encourages and funds terror against the State of Israel.” Smotrich urged Prime Minister Netanyahu to block Abbas from returning to Israel and Judea and Samaria, insisting that the Palestinian Authority itself “must be dismantled.”

We Are Literally Witnessing End Times Weather All Over America
August 13, 2026 by Michael
We have experienced one natural disaster after another in 2026, and this week has been particularly crazy. The facts that I am about to share with you are absolutely insane. This weekend, the heat index could reach 115 degrees in some areas of the Southeast. A 1-in-1,000 year rainfall event has produced catastrophic flooding in the Midwest. By the end of this year, the state of Illinois could experience more tornadoes than any state ever has in the entire history of our country. On top of everything else, wildfires have now burned portions of every single national park in the state of Washington. Our weather patterns have not even been close to normal, but most of you already knew that.
Yes, we really are witnessing end times weather all over America.
The Midwest faced widespread damage Tuesday after a fierce line of thunderstorms produced a high-velocity windstorm called a derecho.
That high-velocity windstorm was so powerful that it actually caused a home in Portage, Indiana to explode…
Amid the storms, a home exploded in Portage, Indiana — erupting into flames after it was hit by wind gusts up to 99 miles per hour.
Many refer to derechos as “inland hurricanes” because of the force of the winds.
In Illinois, one woman lost her brand new barbecue grill and her entire roof to the howling winds…
There were numerous reports of wind gusts of 80 mph or more at personal weather stations.
“Total devastation. No roof,” said Kerry Hourigan, standing outside her home of 25 years in the Chicago suburb of Tinley Park. “Stupid thing, but my focus was I just bought a new barbecue grill, and I have no idea where that is. It’s disappeared.”
A number of tornadoes also spawned in the Chicago area.
And as we have seen so many other times already this year, those tornadoes left behind very impressive trails of destruction…
The National Weather Service confirmed that at least three tornadoes touched down in Chicago’s south suburbs during the midday hours Tuesday. Photos from the Chicago area posted on social media showed flooded roads, trees tangled in power lines and homes with gashes in their roofs.
Illinois has already shattered the state record for tornadoes in a single year.
By the time 2026 is done, meteorologist Bill Snyder believes that Illinois will break the national record for tornadoes in a single year…
“This is the craziest storm season I’ve ever seen,” WGN-TV meteorologist Bill Snyder said. “There’s been no rest for the wicked.”
Snyder said Illinois will likely pass 200 confirmed tornadoes after Tuesday’s storms, far and away the most tornadoes of any state in the country for 2026, according to the National Weather Service.
If Illinois continues this stormy trend, it may not only add to its state record but perhaps break a nationwide record for the total number of tornadoes in one state in any single year — 232 tornados in Texas in 2015 and 1967.
“I’m firmly convinced Illinois will break the national tornado record before 2026 is over,” Snyder said.
Following the derecho and the tornadoes, it started to pour in the Midwest.
The rain just kept coming down hour after hour.
Now some parts of Indiana look like they were just hit by Noah’s Flood…
Flooding submerged Indiana neighborhoods in water for the second day in a row, as parts of the state saw Wednesday the highest daily rainfall totals ever recorded in their areas.
Some braced for more severe weather still ahead, as meteorologists warned Thursday that Indianapolis faced the greatest threats of storms slated to bring heavy rain to the Midwest throughout the rest of the week.
Upwards of 36 million people were under flood alerts Thursday across the region, according to the National Weather Service. Its forecast offices in Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Tennessee warned that rainfall across each state could be persistent and widespread, potentially drenching parts of each state with another 4 inches or more.
It would be difficult for me to overstate the severity of this disaster.
The city of New Castle, Indiana actually experienced a 1-in-1,000 year rainfall event…
New Castle received more than 11 inches of rain in just over a day. Such a high rainfall rate is extremely rare, with only a 1 in 1,000, or 0.1%, chance of it happening in any given year.
That part of Indiana is not supposed to get 11 inches of rain.
But it just did.
As the water rose all around him, one man saved his life by clinging to a light pole…
Many people had to be rescued by boat in Cambridge City, Indiana, after catastrophic floods on Wednesday left them stranded. Water filled city streets, rising several feet in the hardest-hit places and seeping into, at best, the ground floors of local homes. Some residents faced harsher conditions, with the deluge completely covering the roofs of their cars or crashing into their homes through doors and windows.
One man desperately clung to a light pole in Cambridge City as muddy, brown water swirled around him, before he was eventually rescued. Another, Christian Corder, of nearby New Castle, Indiana, evacuated his home after it flooded and told “CBS Mornings” that dealing with the aftermath has been “very overwhelming.”
“A lot of stuff is ruined,” Corder said, recalling how “the rain never stopped — it just kept coming and coming.”
Indiana Governor Mike Braun has declared a state of emergency, and more rain is on the way.
Meanwhile, the Southeast is about to experience a different kind of an emergency.
Over the next few days, it will be covered by “the planet’s strongest heat dome”…
That is no ordinary heat dome.
And things are going to get really, really hot for those that will be underneath.
According to meteorologist Jeff Berardelli, the heat index in some parts of the Southeast could reach 115 degrees…
If you live in the Southeast, please try to stay inside this weekend.
And if you live in Hawaii, that advice applies as well.
Tropical Storm Lala just formed, and it is expected to strengthen greatly as it approaches the Hawaiian islands…
Tropical Storm Lala has formed in the Central Pacific Ocean, the National Hurricane Center said on the morning of Aug. 13, adding that a hurricane watch has been issued for the Big Island of Hawaii.
Lala, now with sustained winds of 40 mph, is forecast to strengthen and could be near hurricane strength when it approaches the Big Island by early Saturday, Aug. 15.
On the island of Oahu, Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi said in a news release that “this is the time to prepare, not panic,” as the system approached. “We still do not know exactly where this system will track or how strong it will become, but we know enough to take it seriously. I am asking everyone on Oahu to use the next several days wisely.”
Yes, Hawaii can get a lot of rain.
But this storm is different.
We are being told that up to 20 inches of rain could fall, and if that happens it is likely that we will witness “life-threatening flooding”…
The storm is forecast to carve a path near the island chain, with dangerous weather conditions beginning Friday night.
“The Potential Tropical Cyclone is expected to produce rainfall totals of 5 to 10 inches across much of the Island chain, with maximum totals of 20 inches possible. This rainfall may produce life-threatening flooding and mudslides, especially in areas of steep terrain,” the National Hurricane Center wrote, adding that life-threatening surf and rip currents are also expected.
Before I end this article, I certainly don’t want to leave out the western portion of the nation.
Over 6.4 million acres have already burned in the United States in 2026, and most of that land is located in our western states…
The numbers are staggering: Wildfires this year have consumed more than 6.4 million acres of land across the country as of Thursday, with 103 new fires reported on Wednesday alone.
Things are particularly bad in the Northwest.
At this point, portions of every single national park in the state of Washington have burned.
We have never seen anything like this before.
I realize that I have been writing about this “Godzilla El Niño” a lot, but there is a reason why I have been doing so.
Many believe that this “Godzilla El Niño” is the primary reason why we have been witnessing so many crazy weather events, and now we are being told that it has gotten even stronger…
El Niño continued to strengthen over the past month, the Climate Prediction Center said, with sea-surface temperatures more than 3.6 degrees above average in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean.
The Climate Prediction Center report, which synthesizes several climate models from North America and abroad, also said that this El Niño will continue to strengthen through the end of the year.
A lot of experts expect this “Godzilla El Niño” to far surpass the strength of any other El Niño in recorded history by a very wide margin.
If that turns out to be accurate, what we have experienced so far will just be the tip of the iceberg.
So buckle up and hold on tight, because it appears that things could get very bumpy during the months ahead.

JAPAN HIT BY RECORD RAIN AS FLOODWATERS SWALLOW CITIES NEAR TOKYO
Japan is dealing with an unfolding disaster just outside one of the largest cities on Earth.
Record-breaking rain slammed Chiba Prefecture east of Tokyo, dumping an incredible 4.5 inches in just ONE HOUR in Chiba City.
Roads disappeared beneath floodwater. Cars were submerged. Trains were disrupted. Thousands of travelers were stranded, and power was knocked out to tens of thousands of homes.
At least four people have died, one person remains missing, and nearly 230,000 residents were urged to seek shelter as conditions rapidly deteriorated.
Even Narita Airport was caught in the chaos, with thousands of travelers stranded as surrounding roads and rail lines flooded.
And authorities are still warning that more rain could fall.
? Anyone near Chiba right now? How bad is the flooding where you are?

Romania shuts nuclear plant, Hungary dams dry Danube River
Mark Hallam with AFP, dpa, Reuters
08/13/2026August 13, 2026
Romania has shut down its only nuclear plant in a rare move prompted by the lack of cooling water from the Danube River. Hungary, meanwhile, is racing to dam the Danube, trying to keep its Paks plant online.
Romania shut down its lone nuclear power plant on Thursday, a rare move amid the drought that has caused record lows on the Danube River and other major waterways in Europe.
The Danube is the sole source of cooling water for the Cernavoda plant, which usually generates around one-fifth of Romania's electricity.
The power station has only been shut down once before, in 2023, again as a result of drought and a hot summer.
Meanwhile, Hungary was scrambling to dam the Danube, as it tries to keep its Paks nuclear power plant at least running at the minimal levels that it has maintained in recent days, which are far below capacity.
What did the operator and authorities in Romania say about the shutdown?
Romania's Nuclearelectrica company had already shut one of the two reactors at Cernavoda last month.
On Thursday, it said it needed to shut the second "because of the significant and ongoing drop in the water level of the Danube River."
The company tried earlier this month, with help from the Navy, to improve the plant's chances of staying operational.
Most memorably, it blew up a rocky outcrop exposed by the low water levels and strategically deposited the rocks on the riverbed in a bid to direct more water to Cernavoda.
But ultimately, continued dry weather and sinking water levels prompted the total shutdown.
"We do not foresee a restart within the next 10 days," the plant director, Romeo Urjan, told the AFP news agency.
Romania's Energy Ministry said it was procuring alternative power sources, including from wind power but also from energy imports, to try to ensure adequate supplies. Still it appealed to the public to consume responsibly.
It warned that as a last resort, large industrial users would have to face restrictions in the evening hours to save electricity. Carmakers Ford and Dacia had already committed to pausing production until August 19 to save power.
The Romanian Navy detonates underwater explosives during a controlled demolition of submerged rocks to improve water flow to the Cernavoda Nuclear Power Plant amid exceptionally low water levels on the Danube River, in Izvoarele, Romania, Monday, Aug. 3 2026.
What is Hungary doing to try to prevent a similar shutdown of the Paks plant?
Prime Minister Peter Magyar on Thursday visited Hungary's only nuclear power plant, the Paks facility that is also cooled by the Danube.
"We have begun construction of the low weir that will permanently contribute to raising the Danube's water level," Magyar told reporters at the site, roughly 100 kilometers (about 60 miles) south of Budapest.
Only one of Paks' four reactors is currently operational amid the drought.
Nine days ago, the plant was at risk of a complete shutdown, but the government was able to abort those plans at the last moment as the Danube's levels ended up being a few millimeters higher than forecast.
People cool off in the extremely low waters of the Danube near Paks, Hungary, with the Paks Nuclear Power Plant visible in the background on August 9, 2026.
Under normal circumstances, the plant is responsible for around half of Hungary's electricity generation, and about one-third of its consumption.
Before the completion of the weir, authorities plan to deliberately sink two 80-meter-long barges — placed end-to-end and perpendicular to the river's flow — to create an initial damming effect and raise the water level somewhat.
Magyar said that Hungarian soldiers were working round the clock on the construction, and that it should be completed in the next four weeks. He said the project should elevate water levels in front of the Paks plant cooling system by more than a meter.
The project might not be finished long before the summer starts to fade and the rains return, but the low water levels also provide a rare opportunity to undertake such construction projects relatively cheaply and easily.

This summer's heat waves and lack of rain have led to a sharp drop in the levels of Germany's inland waterways. The Rhine River's water levels have sunk to record lows. That's taking a heavy toll on commercial shipping.
Mark Espiner
08/13/2026
Germany’s Rhine River, celebrated by poet Friedrich Hölderlin as "the noblest of rivers," is facing dangerously low water levels after a prolonged heatwave and lack of rainfall. The situation is creating serious challenges for commercial shipping, supply chains and industry, which rely heavily on the waterway. Duisburg Harbour officials warn that operations are close to a standstill without significant rain. Regional authorities say long-standing climate change warnings are becoming reality as Europe continues to face extreme heat and environmental stress.

The Islamization Of America Is Steadily Progressing
By Michael Snyder/End of the American Dream August 13, 2026
Share this article:
In Islam, there is no separation between mosque and state. The goal is to use the state to make everyone submit to Islam. If you want to see what this looks like, just check out almost any country in the Middle East that has a Muslim majority.
They don't believe in freedom of speech or freedom of religion. Do you want to know how many churches there are in Saudi Arabia? The answer is zero, because churches are banned in Saudi Arabia. Now this same ideology is spreading in America, and that should deeply alarm all of us.
Today, Islam is the fastest growing religion in America.
It used to be witchcraft, but now Islam has taken the top spot.
There are now more than 2,700 mosques in the United States.
In 1970, there were about 100.
But it isn't just mosques that are going up everywhere.
Enormous Islamic "mini-cities" are being constructed in states such as California and Texas.
And rapidly growing Islamic populations are taking over entire sections of the states of Minnesota and Michigan.
What we have been witnessing all over Europe is now happening here. The following are 8 examples that demonstrate that the Islamization of America is steadily progressing...
#1 Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed has a really good chance of winning in November, and he has publicly stated that he has a sacred "obligation" to obey Islamic law in every area of his life until he dies...
Muslim Democrat Michigan Senatorial candidate Abdul El-Sayed has previously declared his sacred "obligation" to follow Islamic law in every aspect of his life until he dies and stands before Allah. He has claimed he does not want to subvert the Constitution and mandate Islamic law but that is part of his religion.
Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed is having his words, vows, and religion come back to haunt him. According to The Washington Free Beacon, years ago he declared his sacred "obligation" to follow Islamic law in every aspect of his life until he dies and stands before Allah. This comes from remarks he made to the New York Times back in 2009, when he was younger and buying his first home.
#2 In the supposedly "deep red" state of Mississippi, a hijab-wearing Muslim woman has been sworn in as a municipal judge...
Assma Ali has made history. The daughter of Yemeni immigrants to the United States, Ali is now municipal judge for the City of Benoit, a small town in southwest Bolivar County in the Mississippi Delta.
Ali was sworn in as municipal judge on Aug. 5. She has spent nearly a decade serving as an attorney in Mississippi after graduating with her law degree from Mississippi Christian University (formerly Mississippi College) in 2017 and interned in both Rankin and Madison counties while attending law school.
#3 I know that this is hard to believe, but a bill in the state of Massachusetts would "identify and recommend qualified American Muslims for appointive positions at all levels of government". Needless to say, this is very unconstitutional...
#4 What in the world has happened to the state of Texas? At DFW Airport, they are going to be putting in Islamic foot-washing stations...
#5 The city of Hamtramck, Michigan is one of the first cities in the nation where Muslims make up the majority of the population, and the all-Muslim city council decided that it would be a good idea to legalize the sacrifice of animals on residential property...
After several months of contentious debate and pressure from Muslim residents, Hamtramck City Council voted Tuesday night to allow the religious sacrifice of animals on residential property.
Muslims often slaughter animals during the holiday of Eid al-Adha and Hamtramck has one of the highest percentage of Muslim residents among cities in the U.S.
#6 An entire Islamic "mini-city" is going up right in the heart of Orange County, California...
#7 A survivor of Sharia law in Iran recently pleaded with the city council of McKinney, Texas not to approve a new Islamic center that was being planned...
An Iranian Christian who describes himself as a "Sharia law survivor" warned Americans during a McKinney City Council meeting that the United States is currently facing a "level one" invasion of Islam. The meeting involved discussions of a proposed Islamic Center.
"I'm a Sharia law survivor from Iran," he began. "I'm telling you, this is a bad idea and you're going to regret not listening to people like us who lived under Sharia law."
"I'm here to tell you this is a dangerous ideology you're allowing in your country. Every country that is Islamic now, it used to be a Christian country and we were soft Christians. And we allowed these people to come in, bring their Sharia law into our countries and slowly kill us off left and right."
But after listening to him and countless others that objected to the project, the city council unanimously approved it anyway...
According to Texas Scorecard, McKinney City Council members have since voted 7-0 to approve plans for the Islamic Center.
#8 This summer, giant Islamic marches are being held in major cities all over the nation. Sean Feucht just stumbled into one in downtown Chicago...
US Christian worship leader Sean Feucht has issued a warning about the growth of Islam in America after his "Jesus march" encountered a Muslim procession in Chicago.
Feucht shared footage from the city showing participants in the annual Arbaeen Procession, which was taking place around an hour before his Christian event was due to begin.
"This is insane. What I'm witnessing is crazy," Feucht said in a video posted on social media.
According to Feucht, those that were participating in the Islamic march were "shouting anti Christian and anti Israel verses from the Quran"...
"An hour before we start, there's a massive Muslim march. We didn't even know this was happening guys...where they are declaring their allegiance to Allah. And that the entire city of Chicago will bow to Allah."
Feucht also claimed participants were "shouting anti Christian and anti Israel verses from the Quran".
"Have you woken up yet? Do you understand what is at stake in our nation?" he asked.
They aren't here to assimilate.
They are here to take over.
So why aren't more Americans standing up?
This is no time to be soft.
We are seeing entire communities being radically transformed all over this county.
We are going down the exact same road that Europe has been going for the past 30 years, and that should deeply trouble all of us.
There are approximately 2 billion Muslims in the world today, and they make up the majority of the population in more than 50 different nations.
But this is just the beginning.
It is being projected that by 2050 Muslims will make up nearly a third of the entire global population.
This is a story that is not going away, and now is the time to take a stand.

Dallas-Fort Worth airport to install Islamic foot wash stations inside bathrooms
Privately funded $300,000 project aims to prevent slippery floors and protect sink counters from foot washing
Landon Mion By Landon Mion Fox News
Published August 12, 2026 11:51pm EDT
Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport will install Islamic foot wash stations inside bathrooms at the facility, according to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
The project was officially registered with Texas regulators on July 31, according to documents detailing the project.
The installation of the Wudu ablution stations is expected to be complete by the end of the year.
TRAVELERS CLASH AFTER TSA SHARES SURPRISING GUIDANCE ABOUT AIRPORT ETIQUETTE
"Project consists of adding Ablution stations to existing concourse level restrooms in Terminal D, one Men's ablution station in existing men's restroom and one Women's ablution station in the existing women's restroom," the project details read.
It is privately funded and expected to cost around $300,000, the documents state.
The updates aim to prevent water on standard restroom floors and protect sink counters.
Similar low-level basins and interfaith spaces already exist at other major international airport hubs across the U.S., including Chicago O'Hare.
Some conservatives were outraged online over the project plan, while others urged people to take a more measured approach, noting that the new stations are not about pushing any ideology.
"People are freaking out over foot-washing stations at DFW, but let’s look at the actual facts before jumping to conclusions. This isn't about pushing an ideology — it's basic airport management," conservative activist Ryan Fournier wrote on social media.

"Safety & Plumbing: People washing their feet in standard bathroom sinks creates soaked, slippery floors and breaks the counters. Low-level wudu basins keep the restrooms dry and safe for everyone," he continued.

"Standard Infrastructure: DFW is one of the busiest travel hubs on the planet. Major U.S. airports like Chicago O'Hare and Indianapolis have had these and interfaith rooms for years to handle international traffic cleanly," Fournier added.
Fournier said the addition is "just about keeping the bathrooms clean and preventing people from slipping on wet tiles. Plain and simple."

As Our Planet Becomes Even More Unstable, There Will Be More Giant Earthquakes, More Volcanic Eruptions And More Chaotic Wildfires
August 10, 2026
We were warned that our planet was becoming increasingly unstable. Perhaps now more people will start listening. We were warned that there would be enormous earthquakes, we were warned that more volcanoes would start erupting, and we were warned that this would be a historic year for wildfires. Almost every day now we are hearing about some new major natural disaster that has happened somewhere in the world. What we are witnessing is not even close to normal, and many believe that what we have experienced so far is just the beginning.
On Monday, Colombia was shaken by the largest earthquake ever to hit that nation…
A strong earthquake with a magnitude of 7.4 struck western Colombia on Monday, killing more than 100 people, injuring dozens and causing major damage across the region. It was the largest quake to hit the South American country on record.
The epicenter was in San Jos
é del Palmar, a community in the rural Chocó province about 250 miles west of Colombia’s capital, Bogotá, the U.S. Geological Survey and its counterpart in Colombia reported. The quake hit at about 8:34 a.m. ET and was followed by a 5.0 magnitude aftershock less than an hour later, USGS reported.At least 111 people were killed and at least 87 were injured, Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella said. He declared an emergency to expedite funding for the quake recovery.
What in the world is happening to South America?
Less than two months ago, Venezuela was shaken by the largest earthquakes to hit that country in more than 100 years.
Now tragedy has struck once again.
The magnitude 7.4 earthquake that just pummeled Columbia was so powerful that it could be felt as far away as Ecuador, Panama and Venezuela…
Harrowing footage taken from across the country showed the façades of buildings crumbling and people huddling in the street, unable to stand up straight as the ground beneath them rocked violently.
In one particularly shocking video, a church’s spire was seen falling off and crumbling into rubble in front of a terrified crowd of onlookers.
Families were held back from the scene by local police as a cloud of dust filled the air.
The quake was felt as far away as Ecuador, Panama to the north, and Venezuela – which was struck by a pair of devastating tremors just a few months ago – and prompted building evacuations in Bogota.
An earthquake of this magnitude is not supposed to happen in Columbia.
As South America is repeatedly shaken, many of those that are living on the west coast of the United States are wondering if they are next.
Meanwhile, within the past couple of days there has been an alarming level of volcanic activity around the globe…
These eruptions are not just limited to one geographic area.
They are literally occurring all over the world.
On Saturday, volcanic ash from an eruption of Mt. Sakurajima turned the sky dark “within minutes”…
An eruption occurred on Sakurajima volcano in Kagoshima Saturday evening, August 8, sending an ash plume up to 2,200 meters into the air. The eruption sent a moderate amount of ash drifting toward Kagoshima city, turning the sky dark within minutes.
Personally, the volcano that I am the most concerned about in Japan is Mt. Fuji.
When it finally blows, I wouldn’t want to be located anywhere in the Tokyo area.
On the other side of the planet, Mt. Etna is suddenly going absolutely nuts…
Mount Etna continued intense explosive and effusive activity on August 10, 2026, with abundant ash from Voragine and multiple active lava flows. Catania Airport suspended arrivals until 17:00 LT (15:00 UTC) as volcanic ash affected operations, while Toulouse VAAC maintained Etna’s Aviation Color Code at Red.
The National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), Etna Observatory, reported at 10:16 LT (08:16 UTC) on August 10 that surveillance cameras showed intense and continuous explosive activity at Voragine crater. Volcanic bombs were falling in the summit area, while abundant ash was dispersing toward the south-southwest.
Two active vents at approximately 2 750 m (9 020 feet) and 2 360 m (7 740 feet) elevation were feeding several lava flows that formed complex lava fields. The most advanced active fronts are near 1 500 m (4 920 feet) elevation at the base of the northern wall of Valle del Bove, in the Monte Rinatu area, INGV specialists said.
An eruption of Mt. Etna can be mesmerizing.
But it also a symptom of a very real geological reality.
Volcanoes throughout the world are becoming more active, and I believe that this will be a really big story in the months ahead.
At the same time, global weather patterns have gone completely nuts.
In fact, last month was the hottest July in the entire history of the continental United States…
The contiguous United States set a record for its hottest month ever in July, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Last month averaged 76.89 degrees Fahrenheit (24.94 degrees Celsius) across the Lower 48 states, eclipsing the Dust Bowl’s July 1936 by an eighth of a degree.
Although it was unusually cool in Alaska, hotter than normal conditions blanketed the Lower 48, with the most excessive heat in the Mountain West, Southwest, Northern Plains and Southeast.
When things are this hot and this dry, it is inevitable that there will be wildfires.
And this has certainly been a wildfire season that we will never forget.
In Oregon, more than 2 million acres have already burned to the ground.
If you can believe it, at this stage one wildfire has accounted for 442,000 acres all by itself…
The new wildfires are the Woodrat Mountain and Wrights Spring fires in southern Oregon and the Cottonwood fire in central Oregon. More than 30 wildfires continue to burn 2 million acres across the state.
In southeast Malheur County, the Big Grass fire ballooned overnight to 442,000 acres, making it now one of the five largest wildfires in Oregon history.
Next door in Washington, firefighters are still trying to control three large wildfires that have devastated large portions of the Spokane area…
In eastern Washington, firefighters are continuing to battle a complex of three major wildfires near Spokane—the Old Trails Fire, Autumn Lane Fire, and Fairview Fire—though containment was improving.
But, as of the latest Incident Command report on Sunday, the Autumn Lane fire was 61 percent contained, Old Trails was 43 percent contained, and Fairview was 43 percent contained.
According to the latest update from AllFirefighter on Friday, the Spokane Complex Fire has burned over 10,200 acres combined, damaging or destroying around 921 structures, and forcing 65,000 evacuations.
Authorities are telling us that this is the worst disaster in the entire history of Spokane.
Let that sink in for a moment.
Across the border, a wildfire that erupted “like a bomb” over the weekend has already consumed 53 square miles…
A raging wildfire that erupted ‘like a bomb’ has forced tens of thousands of Canadians to evacuate their homes.
Dozens of residents were rescued by aircraft while thousands of others took to traffic-jammed roads in an effort to escape the devastating Bald Range fire.
The blaze has ravaged at least 53 square miles across British Columbia since it erupted Friday.
We have never seen a wildfire season quite like this.
Even if you do not live in an area where wildfires are raging, there is still a very good chance that you are being seriously affected by the smoke…
Wildfire smoke is once again pouring across the United States following a weekend of new blazes across Canada’s British Columbia.
A total of 11 new fires were reported across that province, where a state of emergency was declared on Saturday, with thousands forced to evacuate near Summerland, located about 40 miles north of the British Columbia-Washington state border.
Wildfire smoke is going to continue to pour across much of the continental United States for weeks.
It has even been detected as far south as Florida.
This is the world that we live in now.
Chaos has just become a normal part of our lives.
Unfortunately, a lot more chaos is on the way, and the vast majority of the population is totally unprepared for what is coming.

Medvedev: "Russia Has Right to Attack ANY Vessel carrying supplies for Ukraine"
Hal Turner World August 12, 2026 Hits: 8142
Russia has the right to attack any merchant ship, even in neutral waters, if it is transporting cargo in the interests of the enemy, Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev stated.
"The vast majority of Western European ships also sail under flags of convenience. So what does that mean? It means that, guided by a fair, symmetrical approach, Russia has the right to attack any merchant vessel of an enemy country in our waters or neutral waters if there are sufficient grounds to suspect that it is carrying cargo for the enemy. That is, any cargo! There are many such vessels," the politician wrote on his Telegram channel, commenting on Western statements about the so-called Russian shadow fleet.

America is ruled by a Uniparty that operates like a death cult
Needless overseas wars slaughter innocent civilians while in America we now have 10 states that allow abortion all the way up to birth; they call it 'healthcare'
Leo Hohmann's avatar
Leo Hohmann Aug 11, 2026Both of the two major American political parties are part of a death cult. Each worships death in their own distinct way.
The Republican Party, which I have focused on over the last 18 months only because they are the party in power, has membership rolls filled with bloodthirsty warmongers. The older Republicans especially, as a whole, will support any war that official Washington tells them needs to be fought. No questions asked.
The reason for the war doesn’t have to make sense. It doesn’t have to benefit America in any way. It doesn’t have to square with the facts on the ground. They will believe whatever false narrative Washington and its media lapdogs put out against the foreign boogeyman. Before you jump on me, I know there are exceptions. Not all boomers are warmongers. I myself am part of the baby boomer generation and I detest war. I believe wars should be fought for national defense of the homeland and that’s it. All else is corrupt scheming for the benefit of foreign interests and billionaires in the U.S. military-industrial-security complex.
Even the bombing of an elementary school in which 165 young girls and their teachers were killed on the first day of the Iran war, on March 1, did not move them. They have zero compassion or concern about the women, children and families killed by American and Israeli bombs. Their hearts and consciences have been seared and they are driven by a hatred for people they see as an inconvenient obstacle to a particularly ruthless brand of political Zionism. Yet, many of them call themselves Christian.
But let’s turn our focus now to the equally corrupt bloodlust of the Democrat liberal wing of the Washington Uniparty.
These folks rarely speak out against the endless foreign wars either, but it gets worse. They also never met a baby they didn’t think deserved to be a candidate for abortion.
This was evidenced Monday, August 10, when Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey signed a bill legalizing abortions up to birth. The signing ceremony was a joyous occasion marked by disgusting Democrat women who could not contain their jubilance. Watch them smile and clap here as the governor signs this murderous bill into law.
There are now 10 states, along with Washington, D.C., that allow abortions in all nine months of pregnancy.
Watch video below.
They say they want more “options” to kill babies. They call it “healthcare” and “abortion care.” Such clever word games.

Unidentified drones have been reported over Diego Garcia, the remote strategic U.S.-U.K. base in the Indian Ocean.
Unofficial reports claim that drones near the fuel farm triggered an 0700-1900 curfew.
The UK Ministry of Defense confirmed awareness but gave no details.
U.S. Pacific Command declined to discuss force protection.
Iran previously launched ballistic missiles at the base during Operation Epic Fury. Both missed.
The island has zero civilians, but hosts bombers and naval operations.
It’s amazing how in only a couple of years, drones have completely rewritten everything we thought we knew about warfare.
UPDATE 11:16 AM EDT --
Naval Support Facility Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean has imposed a curfew for U.S. and UK Servicemembers, due to the possible threat of unidentified drones seen flying recently near the base fuel farm.
the Facebook group “Air Force amn/nco/snco” has published the hours of operation for a number of base amenities during the curfew, which begins every night until further notice at 1800:

At Least 82 Dead After 7.4 Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Colombia, Causing Buildings to Collapse
“To the Colombians who are today facing hard times, I want to say: you are not alone,” Colombian President Abelardo De La Espriella shared on social media
By Desiree Anello Published on August 10, 2026 02:19PM EDT
At least 82 people have died after an earthquake struck western Colombia.
On Monday, Aug. 10, a 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck the South American country around 7:34 a.m. local time, causing the collapse of dozens of buildings in its third largest city, Cali, and surrounding areas, according to Reuters, CNN and The New York Times.
Local officials confirmed to The Associated Press that at least 40 people were killed in the Risaralda region, which includes the city of Pereira. They also said at least 27 people — including three children — were killed in the Valle del Cauca region, where Cali is located.
While the epicenter of the quake was located in San Jose del Palmar, approximately 174 miles west of Bogotá, the powerful earthquake was felt in nine departments and all 32 departmental capitals, after which it triggered mass evacuations, according to Reuters. It was also felt in neighboring Ecuador and Panama.
Alejandro Eder, the mayor of Cali, said that at least 20 buildings had collapsed in the urban city with people trapped inside.

“We are already managing this emergency alongside all of Cali’s rescue agencies,” he shared on X.
He added, “I ask the public to remain calm. Please check your buildings for any visible structural damage. If you do not feel safe, or if you see large cracks, please evacuate the building.”
Following the disaster, Colombian President Abelardo De La Espriella, who took office only three days prior to the earthquake, announced that he was traveling to Bogotá “to focus on addressing the emergency that our country faces.”
“I have convened a United Command Post at the UNGRD from where I will personally lead the actions to assist communities in Choco, Eje Cafetero, and all affected areas,” he wrote on X. “To the Colombians who are today facing hard times, I want to say: you are not alone. You have a President who hurts for his people and who will do whatever is necessary to protect them, stand by them, and get through, together, all the affected regions.”

When a nation rejects God, it gets Islam: Steve Deace reacts to Michigan’s primary earthquake
Steve Deace Show
When a nation rejects God, it gets Islam: Steve Deace reacts to Michigan’s primary earthquake
BlazeTV Staff
August 08, 2026
The BlazeTV host warns Abdul El-Sayed’s victory is a symptom of a deeper spiritual crisis in America.
On August 4, Abdul El-Sayed, the radical progressive Muslim activist who has called for abolishing ICE, universal health care, codifying unrestricted access to abortion, and other far-left initiatives, narrowly beat Haley Stevens in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary.
His victory bodes ill not just for the state of Michigan but for the United States as a whole, says BlazeTV host Steve Deace, because it exposes a chilling reality about America and the direction the nation is headed.
On this episode of the “Steve Deace Show,” the former Michigan resident pulls back the curtain on what’s really fueling America’s downward spiral into radicalization, mental illness, and racial idolatry.
“Gretchen Whitmer is probably the most successful Democrat politician the state of Michigan has had in a generation. … A decade as governor, queen bee of the state,” says Deace, “and she just got rolled by an Islamist in a Senate primary who won despite her endorsement of his opponent.”
What does this say about the direction of the nation?
According to Deace, we’re witnessing an “Islam surge” in the United States because the people have forgotten or rejected America’s intentional design to function like biblical Israel under the Sinai covenant — where the people obey God and receive His protecting and blessing, and as a result, the nation shines as a “city on a hill” that attracts outsiders to the true God.
“We want to be, in a civic sense, a covenantal people of the one true God. We want His favor, which means that we need to be a nation of His instruments, and you've seen God bless that,” says Deace. “Otherwise, we wouldn't have lasted as long as we have.”
But as it was with ancient Israel, when the people stray, God’s discipline follows.
“One of the marks of a covenantal people receiving the discipline of the God you have covenanted with that you also see in the Old Testament is you're overrun with foreigners and foreign gods,” Deace points out.
He asks if America’s current predicament — being overrun with illegal immigrants and the rising influence of Islam — could be God’s judgment on a nation that has rebelled against the covenantal design its founders sought to emulate.
“The answer, of course, would be yes,” says Deace frankly.
“We disobey God to a point collectively that He then removes His restraining hand. This is Romans 1,” he adds.
Whether America “lost [its] zeal” for “the one true God” or deliberately embraced “foreigners and their ways,” the “outcome is the same,” says Deace: God gives us over to our sinful ways, allowing us to reap the consequences of our decisions.
That’s why Islam is growing in power and influence in the United States, he argues.
New York City’s socialist Muslim Mayor Zohran Mamdani “is not an outlier but a herald,” Deace warns.
“After 9/11, we imported almost 4 million people from Islam-dominated countries,” and then we embarked on “a rebranding campaign that [Islam] is not a violent religion but one of peace,” he recounts.
“These seeds,” he says, “were planted many years ago” and are now being “[fertilized]” with “pagan indoctrination,” creating a spiritual "vacuum.”
“And nature abhors a vacuum, and the fake foreign demon gods will fill it for you. And if you won't let them, you're a racist, of course,” Deace observes.
“Normie voters,” he says, mistakenly believe that America’s biggest problems right now are “mental illness,” “racial idolatry," and “radicalization.” But those are merely “symptoms” of a far deeper and more terrifying root problem.
“The disease is you're up against a rival religion,” Deace warns.

user avatar Michael Bradbury @MrMBB333FRANCE FORCED TO SHUT DOWN 3 NUCLEAR REACTORS
Something happening across Europe is now beginning to interfere with nuclear power…
France has been forced to shut down three nuclear reactors as extreme heat and prolonged drought take a toll on the rivers its power system depends on.
Water levels are dropping. River temperatures are climbing. And now nuclear production is being affected.
This isn’t the first disruption either. France has already been forced to reduce nuclear output multiple times this summer as conditions across the country intensify.
Three reactors shut down… others forced to reduce power… all because the rivers they depend on are becoming too stressed.
And summer isn’t over yet.
? Anyone in France or elsewhere in Europe seeing just how low the rivers have become?

Explosions have been heard in Saudi Arabia's Jubail, with fires being reported at gas facilities...
Arab sources are reporting that Jubail Industrial City was hit, though the cause of any blast remains unclear.
The site is is one of the world's LARGEST petrochemical and industrial hubs, accounting for 6-8% of global petrochemical supply.
Back in April, it was targeted by Iran in missile and drone barrages... this time, very likely the Houthis.

Israel's answer to the 'Muslim NATO'
The defense pact signed in Mecca by Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan is accelerating the regional arms race. It pushes normalization with Riyadh further out of reach and positions Ankara as a threat on par with Iran. Israel needs to respond along two parallel axes: its existing Mediterranean alliance with Greece and Cyprus, and a new counter pact with the United Arab Emirates and India.
by Dr. Oshrit Birvadker
Published on 08-10-2026 13:45
Last modified: 08-10-2026 14:29The joint defense pact signed in Mecca over the weekend by Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan marks a strategic turning point in the Middle East and South Asia. The new pan-Islamic alliance brings together the custodian of Islam's holiest sites, a nuclear power and a NATO member, and is likely to accelerate the regional and global arms race.
The development poses significant challenges for Israel, pushes the prospect of normalization with Riyadh further out of reach and cuts short the vision of a "new Middle East." Israel's appropriate response should be to immediately tighten coordination with the United Arab Emirates and India.
This did not come out of nowhere. Discussions began early this year in response to the continuing erosion of US deterrence. Washington's policy toward Iran in recent months, characterized by restraint, hesitation and an unwillingness to demonstrate force, heightened the sense of insecurity and pushed regional states to diversify their strategic sources of support.
Although the member states portray the agreement as a collective defense mechanism, a NATO-style mutual defense clause is far from a guarantee of action, as previous alliances have demonstrated, including the Saudi-Pakistani agreement signed in September 2025. At this stage, moreover, there is no indication that Pakistan is extending a nuclear umbrella to its partners.
Turkey is a threat on par with Iran
After betting on regional calm only to find itself drawn into a multi-front war and a maritime blockade with devastating consequences for its energy revenues and development plans, the Saudi kingdom was left exposed. That reality forced Riyadh to make a dramatic move toward Turkey after nearly a decade of strained relations, driven in particular by the leverage Ankara derives from its military presence in and around Somalia. Alongside an accelerated military buildup, Saudi Arabia is now seeking to shape a system of strategic alliances that will provide both protection and a counterweight to its rivals.
Turkey, meanwhile, is emerging as a major threat to Israel, no less significant than Iran. Ankara will seek to use the alliance to expand its influence in the Gulf and challenge Israel both diplomatically and militarily. Pakistan, for its part, continues to consolidate its position as an influential player while demonstrating the value of its strategic assets to the US amid the continuing deadlock and lack of a solution to the confrontation with Iran.
Islamabad has a long history of cooperation with Riyadh. Their security relationship has traditionally rested on a bilateral arrangement in which Saudi Arabia provided financial and energy support while Pakistan supplied military capabilities and personnel. The defense agreement signed last year, intended to demonstrate both Islamic unity and military strength, already marked a significant step-up for those ties.
At the same time, the Ankara-Islamabad axis is gaining momentum, with security procurement and industry at its core. Turkey is now Pakistan's second-largest arms supplier, and the two countries are moving beyond off-the-shelf procurement toward deeper cooperation involving the joint development and production of technology from the ground up. More recently, at an industry exhibition held in Pakistan with representatives from 32 institutions in the two countries, Turkish Defense Minister Yaşar Güler said an official agreement for Pakistani participation in the development and production of the KAAN fighter jet was close to completion. The relationship became particularly significant during the India-Pakistan confrontation in May 2025.
A trilateral framework modeled on the "Mecca agreement" could now give this cooperation a dramatic boost. Massive Saudi financial backing, from a country that ranks among the world's highest military spenders, would allow Riyadh to tighten its control over defense-sector supply chains. At the same time, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan would gain faster access to advanced defense technologies, intelligence cooperation, and Turkish expertise and training. Riyadh's drive to reorganize its security architecture would also expand the joint development of military platforms, particularly drones, naval systems and future fighter-aircraft programs.
A trilateral axis calls for a trilateral response
The new reality, in which Saudi Arabia is moving away from normalization talks and Turkey is emerging as a central threat, requires Israel to adopt a strategy based on two parallel axes.
The first is already operating in the Mediterranean through Israel's ties with Greece and Cyprus, giving Jerusalem an essential counterweight to Turkish influence, particularly against Ankara's growing relationship with the new government in Damascus led by Ahmed al-Sharaa.
The second axis faces east and should focus on establishing and stabilizing a strategic triangle comprising Israel, the United Arab Emirates and India.
The UAE, which has watched the expansion of Turkish influence in the Middle East with concern, particularly because of Ankara's links to political Islamist movements including the Muslim Brotherhood, is likely to find itself at the center of a new source of friction with Riyadh. The Emirates, it should be recalled, was the leading Arab state to break with the long-standing regional consensus and establish formal relations with Israel under the 2020 Abraham Accords. Since then, Abu Dhabi has further deepened and expanded its strategic and defense cooperation with Jerusalem, despite public criticism from senior Emirati officials over Israel's fighting in Gaza and Lebanon.
Although the UAE imports fewer weapons than Saudi Arabia, it nevertheless ranks among the world's major arms buyers, reflecting a clear strategy: "small but lethal." Abu Dhabi's policy of diversifying its suppliers, born of necessity during the Obama administration, led it to deepen its strategic and defense partnership with Israel while rapidly strengthening its alignment with India. Cooperation with New Delhi has since moved to a new level with the signing of a strategic framework agreement, culminating in a multibillion-dollar deal now taking shape for the acquisition of BrahMos missiles.
The India card
The new agreement has also put India on heightened alert. New Delhi is concerned not only about the military strengthening of its Pakistani rival, but also that Pakistan could become a conduit through which Turkey expands its strategic footprint in South Asia. Against this backdrop, India will likely have to deepen coordination with countries affected by Turkey's expanding reach, strengthen its defense and intelligence capabilities, and build additional regional partnerships in maritime security, intelligence and economics.
Faced with an emerging trilateral alliance that gives its members an end-to-end advantage, from technological development through low-cost mass production, the importance of a counter-triangle becomes clear: Israel, the United Arab Emirates and India.
Strategic relations between Jerusalem and New Delhi, which flourished under the leadership of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and produced diplomatic backing, military assistance and an expansion of production lines, are emerging as a critical component of Israel's national resilience in the face of the threat of arms embargoes and international isolation. Throughout this process, the three countries have been bound by overlapping interests, close relations and a deep foundation of mutual trust. That makes such an alliance an essential geopolitical anchor for stabilizing the region and containing the threats now taking shape.

It Looks Like Israel Is Getting Ready To “Go It Alone” Against Iran, And That Could Spark An Apocalyptic Spiral Of Escalation
August 9, 2026
The Iranians truly believe that they have won. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has created a global energy crisis, and President Trump doesn’t have any easy options for reopening it. Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress are pleading with Trump to bring the war to an end because the midterm elections are coming up. The Iranians understand how much leverage they currently have with Trump, and so they are making all sorts of maximalist demands. But the same is not true with Israel. The Israelis are not concerned about the closure of the Strait of Hormuz because they don’t really use it. In addition, the approaching election in Israel means that it is very important for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to look tough on Iran. As a result, Trump and Netanyahu find themselves moving in two very different directions right now.
While the Trump administration develops an exit strategy, Israel is reportedly getting ready to go it alone against Iran if necessary…
Israel is preparing for the possibility of launching unilateral strikes on Iran if the US-Iran war ends, Israel’s Channel 13 reported on Saturday.
The Israeli military continued to keep the option of striking Iran without US involvement on the table, it said.
The report followed a CNN report that US Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Dan Caine had told senior Trump administration officials that further military escalation could backfire and that victory through airstrikes alone was unlikely.
Just think about what that would mean.
Israel would be attacking Iran with no U.S. help, and the Iranians hate Israel with a passion that runs so deep that it is truly difficult for most westerners to understand it.
The Iranians have already threatened to fire ballistic missiles at Tel Aviv and other major Israeli cities if something happens.
The potential for escalation would be off the charts.
One of Iran’s chief negotiators, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, apparently believes that Israel could launch a surprise attack at any time…
Israeli leaders are fully convinced that once Iran is capable of producing nuclear weapons it will be just a matter of time before they are used against Israel.
So they feel like they are in the midst of an existential struggle for the future of their people.
On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu once again pledged that he will do whatever it takes to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons…
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed Sunday to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons, a goal he has long alleged Tehran is pursuing, regardless of the course of diplomacy with Washington and Arab states.
“I want to emphasise once again: with an agreement or without an agreement, as long as I am prime minister, Iran will not have nuclear weapons,” Netanyahu said at a cabinet meeting.
Just think through the implications of what he is saying.
It doesn’t take a genius to figure out where this is heading.
I am convinced that Iran’s nuclear program is far more advanced than most of the experts think, and I am also convinced that Israel is quite serious about taking action.
Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal is telling us that President Trump has been “laying the groundwork to declare victory” if he can just get the Iranians to reopen the Strait of Hormuz…
For weeks, President Trump had been laying the groundwork to declare victory in the Iran war should Tehran fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz, even floating the idea privately to senior aides that he’s willing to walk away without a nuclear deal, U.S. officials said.
Unfortunately for Trump, there is just one huge problem.
The Iranians are not going to open the Strait of Hormuz unless they get everything that they want.
The Iranians have told us this over and over again, and I have explained this in my articles over and over again.
Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, has released a list of the demands that the Trump administration must meet in order for the Strait of Hormuz to be reopened…
End threats and insults: The U.S. must never threaten Iran “in any language” or insult what the Iranian people consider sacred.
Permanently end military action: Washington must end warfare and aggression against Iran and its allies in Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen and Iraq.
Lift the naval blockade and withdraw forces: The U.S. must end its naval blockade and remove its naval and air forces from the area surrounding Iran.
Pay compensation for two wars: Washington must fully compensate Iran for the damage caused by what Zolghadr characterized as two imposed wars of aggression.
Remove sanctions: The U.S. must lift what Zolghadr called “unjust and illegal” sanctions imposed on the Iranian people.
Release frozen Iranian assets: Washington must unconditionally release assets belonging to the Iranian people that have been frozen or seized.
The Trump administration can never possibly agree to all of this.
But even if the Trump administration did agree to all of this, traffic through the Strait of Hormuz would not return to the status quo that we witnessed before the war.
Instead, the Strait of Hormuz would “reopen” under Iran’s new management system.
Vessels from certain nations would still be banned, and the Iranians would extract very high fees from other nations.
The Iranians are literally holding the global economy hostage, and they are openly admitting that they are using the Strait as a weapon of war…
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards on Sunday said they would not reopen the Strait of Hormuz until the United States accepts all of Tehran’s demands.
“Our current strategy is to maintain this strait until the enemy accepts all our conditions,” said Guards spokesman Hossein Mohebi, as quoted by state TV, adding that “the strait is now actually a theatre of war for us and not just a waterway”.
And even though the U.S. has paused military action, the Iranians just keep attacking more tankers.
In fact, over the weekend yet another tanker from the United Arab Emirates was hit by an Iranian missile…
The statement came shortly after Abu Dhabi’s National Oil Company (ADNOC) said one of its vessels was targeted by a missile while transiting the Strait of Hormuz earlier in the day. ADNOC said in a statement that the incident “resulted in no injuries, and the situation has been brought under control.”
The United Arab Emirates, of which Abu Dhabi is the capital, said in a post on X that it “condemns in the strongest terms the targeting of an ADNOC-affiliated tanker while it was passing through the Strait of Hormuz.”
The Houthis have also been regularly striking Saudi tankers in the Red Sea, and they just hit Aramco’s $21 billion Jazan refinery with a drone…
Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis claimed responsibility for a drone attack on Saudi Aramco’s $21 billion Jazan refinery, located on Saudi Arabia’s southwestern Red Sea coast, roughly 44 miles from the Yemeni border. The facility is strategically important because it allows Aramco to export refined products through the Red Sea without transiting the Strait of Hormuz. The attack also signals the growing vulnerability of Saudi energy assets in the region, where Houthi forces have repeatedly targeted them in recent weeks.
A Bloomberg report cites Saudi Arabia’s Energy Ministry, which said a fire broke out early Sunday at the 400,000-barrel-a-day Jazan refinery before being extinguished.
Trump may want a way out, but the war is still very much on.
And if Israel decides to start conducting airstrikes in Iranian territory, this conflict could rapidly go to an entirely new level.
In the event of a surprise attack, the Iranians would be severely tempted to respond by using unconventional weapons.
If the Iranians use a single unconventional weapon against Israel, it is likely that the Israelis would respond by hitting Iran with dozens of nukes.
According to a very old estimate, Israel has more than enough nuclear warheads for such a scenario…
Most estimates posit that Israel possesses about 90 plutonium-based nuclear warheads and has produced enough plutonium for 100-200 weapons. These estimates have been fairly consistent for decades, which points to a nuclear posture defined by Israel’s deterrence needs. Israel appears focused strictly on survival and does not seek to threaten other nuclear-armed states.
We have reached such a dangerous moment in human history.
And just moments ago it was being reported that Iran has just attacked another oil tanker…
The Iranians do not want to be reasonable.
They want to win.
Decisions that global leaders will make this month will have enormous implication for all of us.
If Israel conducts a surprise attack on Iran or if Iran conducts a surprise attack on Israel, it could spark an uncontrollable spiral of escalation.
A single move could cause the entire Middle East to erupt in flames, and the world is simply not prepared for what is about to happen next.

US lost 23K jobs in July in disappointing report — though it could stall interest-rate hikes
By Taylor Herzlich
Published Aug. 7, 2026, 8:55 a.m. ET
The labor market revealed a surprising loss of jobs in July – a disappointing report ahead of the November midterms that could further complicate the Fed’s view of interest rates.
US employers lost 23,000 jobs in July – far below estimates that the economy would add more than 80,000 jobs, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said Friday.
The unemployment rate, however, ticked down to 4.1% from 4.2% the previous month.
June’s already slow jobs report was also revised downward, along with May – a combined 103,000 lower than previously reported.
But stock futures rose after the report as traders hoped the weaker-than-expected job market would keep the Fed from hiking interest rates anytime soon.
“Friday’s jobs report was not just much weaker-than-expected, it showed that the economy shed jobs during July, which puts the Federal Reserve in a conundrum, since inflation is still elevated and sticky,” Brent Wilsey, chief investment officer at Wilsey Asset Management, said in a note Friday.
“While one weak jobs report is not likely to dictate Federal Reserve policy, we think the central bank will maintain its wait and see approach on interest rates, and allow more time to pass to examine incoming economic data.”
This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

Antisemitic conspiracy theories spread online amid European wildfires
A CyberWell report found that posts on X were shared in French, English and Spanish, falsely claiming that Jews deliberately started fires or were seeking to profit financially from the disasters

Antisemitic conspiracy theories blaming Jews for wildfires across several European countries are spreading on social media, according to a new analysis by CyberWell, an organization that monitors online antisemitism.
The report found that nearly identical posts on X were shared in French, English and Spanish, falsely claiming that Jews deliberately started fires in France, Spain and Norway or were seeking to profit politically or financially from the disasters. CyberWell said the allegations were made without evidence.
According to the organization, posts related to the fires in Norway alone generated more than two million views, turning what began as isolated accusations into a broader online antisemitic campaign. Similar posts in Spain reached more than 69,000 users.
CyberWell said the coordinated appearance of the same narratives in multiple languages suggests either an organized campaign or the rapid amplification of identical talking points across different accounts.
As the claims spread, some posts escalated to include calls to expel Jews, dehumanizing rhetoric and antisemitic imagery, including the "Happy Merchant" caricature, a symbol commonly associated with white supremacist and extremist groups.
The organization said the pattern mirrors previous online disinformation campaigns following major crises, including the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires, the 2026 Patagonia fires, terrorist attacks and public health emergencies.
"The same scapegoating narratives, once popular in Nazi propaganda, now go viral on major platforms after every crisis," CyberWell founder and CEO Tal-Or Cohen Montemayor said in a statement.
"Whether it's a fire, an epidemic, a shooting or another international crisis, the same conspiracy theories reappear within hours," she added.

The Hormuz Letter
@HormuzLetter
BREAKING: A third vessel is on fire within 24 hours in the US-backed southern corridor of the Strait of Hormuz, in the same area where 2 other vessels were struck yesterday by Iran, per NASA FIRMS satellite imagery.
This comes as Trump's deadline for Iran to finalize a Strait of Hormuz agreement with Oman or face "devastating air strikes" before "decapitation" has expired.
There is no deal, no announcement, the Strait of Hormuz remains fully closed, and Iran continues to strike ships attempting to pass through the US-backed southern route.

Dry Danube River threatens nuclear power in Romania, Hungary

08/03/2026August 3, 2026
Hungary's Paks nuclear power plant was operating at about 10% of capacity because of a lack of cooling river water. In Romania, the military blew up a rock outcrop in a bid to improve water flow to the Cernavoda plant.
Several central and eastern European countries are facing power shortages and impacts on industry amid prolonged hot and dry weather and record low levels on the Danube River and other waterways.
Hungary narrowly averted switching off its lone nuclear plant, but had still powered it down to a fraction of capacity. In Romania, the navy demolished a rocky outcrop exposed in the Danube's riverbed, trying to improve the water flow.
And in Serbia, hydroelectric power output was severely impacted by the dry conditions.
Continued hot and dry weather is forecast during the week, providing little sign of relief.

How did Romania try to feed the Cernavoda power plant?
Romania's military detonated a rocky outcrop exposed by the low water levels on a branch of the Danube, seeking to improve the flow of cooling water to the Cernavoda nuclear plant, which typically supplies about one-fifth of the country's power.
The plant draws all of its cooling water from the Danube.
Soldiers detonated a rock some 50 kilometers (roughly 30 miles) upstream. The debris would be taken to a strategic spot and sunk to help raise the water level.
Defense Minister Radu Miruta said the operation was a success and the military had been waiting for a chance to access and demolish the rocks for decades.

If the partial diversion of the water fails, Miruta said, the plant would likely have to shut down entirely by Thursday.
Caretaker Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan said that carmakers Dacia and Ford had agreed to suspend production in Romania until August 19, following a crisis meeting with representatives of the energy-intensive industry. He said that other companies would be taking similar steps.
What was the situation at Hungary's Paks power plant?
Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar said it was possible to avoid the unprecedented total shutdown of the Paks nuclear power plant on Monday that was originally announced last week.
But the four-reactor station that typically generates almost half of Hungary's electricity production and around a third of its consumption was running at little more than 10% capacity on Monday.

Hungary had asked industrial users to curb consumption and households to make voluntary savings. Electric-powered freight trains were also stopped on Monday to reduce the load on the grid.
Magyar thanked people for their restraint on Monday evening.
"We have entered the critical period. The network is stable, consumption is currently well below planned levels, thanks to self-restraint. The last Paks turbine is operational. I will report back shortly from the (grid operator) MAVIR control room," he said.
Magyar also said slightly earlier on Monday that "water management forecasts for the coming days have become slightly more optimistic."

How was Serbia affected?
In Serbia, the vast Iron Gate hydroelectric plant on the Danube was operating at only around one-fifth capacity on Monday.
Prime Minister Djuro Macut convened an emergency meeting on Monday to discuss the energy problems.
He appealed to residents to "minimize the use of big consumers of electricity in their homes, such as air conditioners," having described the situation as "serious and demanding" late on Sunday.

Far upstream in Bavaria, the Danube's levels were also affecting freight transport.
New German Transport Minister Steffen Bilger said the historic low levels on the Danube, and particularly the Rhine to the west — Europe's busiest inland freight waterway — were providing a first challenge for his tenure.
"It is indeed a very tense situation with the low waters," Bilger told Reuters TV on Monday, saying he would chair a crisis meeting on Thursday. "We are used to repeated low water situations, but this is really a very early point in the calendar year for problems of the kind we're currently experiencing."
Typically European rivers reach their lowest levels slightly later in the summer — it's entirely possible that several more weeks of predominantly hot and dry weather are yet to come.

Global Food Prices Will Soar and Acute Hunger Will Spike Thanks to a Shocking Confluence of Disastrous Events
by Michael Snyder August 6, 2026
in Curated, Opinions Reading Time: 7 mins read
(The Economic Collapse Blog)—Experts are warning that a historic global food crisis has begun. Food prices have already been rising for years, and now they are about to go significantly higher. The number of impoverished people in the world suffering from acute hunger was already at an all-time record high coming into this year, and it is being projected that 49 million more impoverished people will be added to that total in 2026.
We are facing a Super El Niño, a painful global fertilizer shortage and a very alarming cyclosporiasis outbreak all at the same time. We really are in unprecedented territory, and the months ahead are certainly going to be quite chaotic.
If you doubt this, just consider the chaos that we just witnessed in Ceuta.
Approximately 60,000 migrants from Morocco suddenly came storming in, and most people have no idea why it happened.
The primary reason why those migrants are so desperate is because they are hungry.
A nightmarish drought that never seems to end in Morocco “nearly halved its cereal harvests and erased 720,000 agricultural jobs”…
And this week, the pressure reached Europe’s own border. In two days, close to 60,000 people crossed from Morocco into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, more than 50 people dying in the attempt, and within hours France had tightened its border with Spain and Italy had suspended Schengen. No single cause explains a border crisis, and this one has geopolitics stacked through it. But the ground it grew from is well documented: seven years of drought, Morocco’s worst in four decades, nearly halved its cereal harvests and erased 720,000 agricultural jobs, pushing rural families toward the cities, the coast, and beyond, an out-migration the World Bank’s climate report on Morocco predicted in almost exactly these terms. Climate pressure does not stay in the elsewhere column. This week it swam around a border fence.
The global food crisis that I have been relentlessly warning my readers about is not coming.
It is already here.
In Europe, the “hottest June ever recorded” did an immense amount of crop damage…
June 2026 was the hottest June ever recorded in western Europe, according to the Copernicus Climate Change Service. France logged its hottest nationally averaged day on record; Germany, Denmark and the Czech Republic set all-time highs. It was the third major heatwave since late May, arriving while crops were most vulnerable.
The damage forced an almost unheard-of response from the grain trade itself. COCERAL, the association of Europe’s cereal traders, published an extraordinary, out-of-cycle forecast, cutting expected EU and UK grain production to 286.6 million tonnes, roughly 9 million below its own June estimate. The total is also 23.4 million tonnes below last year, though that larger year-on-year gap cannot all be blamed on the June heat.
Those numbers are really bad, but in my opinion they are way too optimistic.
The situation is particularly dire in the UK.
Wales and England just experienced their “driest July in at least 190 years”, and as a result harvest season is going to be a total disaster…
It comes as Wales and England reel from their driest July in at least 190 years, forcing all the former and half the latter into drought.
Total output for barley, oats, and oilseed rape – key ingredients used in bread, beer, breakfast cereals, and livestock feed – is projected to drop to just 19.5 million tonnes this year.
That would undercut the previous low of 19.8m tonnes in 2020, making it the poorest yield since detailed record-keeping began in 1984.
This is what a Super El Niño looks like.
While barley crops in the UK are withering, here in the United States it is being projected that we will have “the smallest wheat crop in more than half a century”…
In the United States, the USDA forecasts the smallest wheat crop in more than half a century, with planted area the lowest since records began in 1919 and hard red winter wheat, the bread wheat of the Great Plains, the smallest since 1957 after severe drought.
We are being told that the Super El Niño could cause trillions of dollars in economic damage, and the global fertilizer shortage could have a similar long-term impact.
Let that sink in for a moment.
This is not just a small bump in the road.
This is a major historical event.
My regular readers know how I feel about the World Economic Forum.
Normally, I don’t agree with the World Economic Forum about anything.
But even the World Economic Forum has been forced to admit that the global fertilizer shortage will cause “cascading shocks that reduce future food production”…
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most critical chokepoints. Before the conflict, roughly 35% of global crude oil exports, 20% of liquefied natural gas exports, and up to 30% of fertilizer exports transited through this narrow strip of water – along with sulfur, essential for phosphate fertilizer production. The blockade has severely disrupted global fertilizer supply chains just as planting seasons advance across both hemispheres.
As farmers face urea fertilizer price increases of 20% to 60%, on top of rising fuel, transport, and irrigation costs, the greatest risk is not immediate food shortages but rather cascading shocks that reduce future food production. It begins with energy-price spikes and logistics disruptions, followed by fertilizer shortages, then lower yields, with delayed transmission effects eventually leading to higher food prices and market volatility months later.
When the World Economic Forum starts putting out material that sounds like it could have come out of one of my articles, it is a sign that things have gotten really bad.
NPR is sounding the alarm too.
One expert that was recently interviewed by NPR admitted that the upcoming harvest will be a big problem…
So today, we have enough food available, and we have enough stocks. The problem is for the next harvest. For the next harvest, as we move towards the middle of the year and the end of the year, we will have less supply, less stocks, and as a result, higher prices. And this will exacerbate more next year if this situation doesn’t stop. If the situation improves tomorrow, if you open the Strait of Hormuz tomorrow, we will still have higher prices because of less supply, because farmers already made a decision, but we could avoid a significant crisis by the end of the year or 2027.
Harvest season is rapidly approaching in the northern hemisphere, and we aren’t ready for what is about to happen.
Meanwhile, some farmers in California are actually “trashing their lettuce crop and throwing the vegetables back into the soil” because so many people are now avoiding lettuce completely due to the nationwide cyclosporiasis outbreak…
A nationwide explosive diarrhea crisis that has left thousands clinging to their toilets and hospitalized others also seems to have another victim: lettuce growers in California.
Some like Larry Cox, who runs Coastline Family Farms in Salinas Valley, are trashing their lettuce crop and throwing the vegetables back into the soil as demand for the crop dries up, the Wall Street Journal reported. This week, Cox dumped 300,000 pounds of his romaine hearts.
I will admit that I am avoiding all store-bought lettuce right now.
I certainly don’t want to be the next victim.
Of course most lettuce is perfectly safe, but there is no way for ordinary consumers to tell what is good to eat and what is not good to eat.
Unfortunately, I believe that food safety will continue to be a very big story for quite some time.
According to the chief economist of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, we are facing a confluence of factors that has created a “perfect storm” which will really drive up global food prices in the months ahead…
The world is on the verge of another bout of food inflation as wars in Iran and Ukraine along with El Nino create a perfect storm of higher costs and lower crop yields, the chief economist of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization said.
I know that food prices are already absurd.
But I would recommend stocking up now before food prices go even higher.
In impoverished nations around the world, rising food prices will push tens of millions more people into acute hunger…
A powerful El Niño weather event could push an additional nearly 49 million people into acute food insecurity across some of the world’s most vulnerable regions by the end of next year, the World Food Programme said on Wednesday.
Despite all of our advanced technology, and despite the billions of dollars that are given to international aid organizations, global hunger is worse than ever and starving people are literally dropping dead right now in Eastern Africa and other impoverished areas of the globe.
I am one of the few prominent voices that has been writing about this crisis over and over again.
Now I am telling my readers that this crisis is about to get substantially worse.
The world is not even going to come close to producing enough food to feed everyone this year, and the chaotic scenes that we just witnessed in Ceuta will soon be repeated all over the planet.

Exxon CEO Just Explained Gas Prices Honestly, and It Demolishes a Decade of Political Talking Points
by Clive Cummings
August 6, 2026
in Opinions, Original
Reading Time: 3 mins read
When gas prices climb, Washington reaches for its favorite villain. Price gouging. Corporate greed. Big Oil profiteering. It is a script so well-worn that both parties can recite it in their sleep, and it has the singular advantage of requiring no understanding of how energy markets actually work.
On July 31, ExxonMobil chairman and CEO Darren Woods went on CNBC’s Squawk Box and, in about fifteen minutes, dismantled the whole act with a single observation that any American paying four dollars a gallon deserves to hear.
“There’s a disconnect today because now we have a refinery constraint,” Woods said. “Pump prices are being established by the supply and demand of refined petroleum products, not crude.”
Read that again, because it explains what has baffled drivers for months. Crude oil peaked above $126 a barrel in the spring after Iran’s war closed the Strait of Hormuz. It has since retreated to the $85 to $90 range, sliding further this week on renewed talk of a deal that could reopen the strait. Yet regular gasoline still averages above $4 a gallon nationally, and diesel sits north of $5.30, according to federal Energy Information Administration data. The old rule that pump prices follow crude has broken, and Woods explained precisely why.
The Bottleneck Nobody in Washington Wants to Discuss
For most of modern history, the world had more refining capacity than it needed. Crude was the binding cost, so when crude fell, gasoline fell with it. That cushion is gone. The war and the Hormuz closure did not merely choke off crude shipments.
They simultaneously knocked out Middle Eastern refined-product exports and starved Asian refineries of the Gulf crude they depend on, erasing nearly 9 percent of global refining capacity in one stroke. Refineries that still have crude to run, particularly American ones, are earning crack spreads of $50 to $60 a barrel against a historical norm in the twenties.
That is not greed. That is arithmetic. When the world loses a tenth of its ability to turn oil into fuel, the price of fuel detaches from the price of oil, and no congressional hearing or Federal Trade Commission investigation can legislate the physics back into place.
Asked when drivers might see relief, Woods did not sugarcoat it. “I wouldn’t hold my breath here in the short term,” he said, adding that prices will likely stay near current levels until the strait reopens and product flows are reestablished, or until China pushes additional refined exports into the global market. Even a ceasefire will not flip a switch. Shippers burned by six months of tanker attacks will not race back into the Persian Gulf the day a deal is signed.
A Company That Prepared While Others Postured
Here is the part that should sting the anti-fossil-fuel crowd. The same day Woods gave that interview, ExxonMobil reported second-quarter earnings of $14.5 billion and free cash flow of $17.2 billion, despite temporarily losing roughly 10 percent of its upstream production to the Middle East conflict.
Excluding that disruption, the company posted its highest production in more than two decades, driven by record Permian output and Guyana. Its Gulf Coast refineries delivered record second-quarter diesel production while global supply tightened. The company returned $9.4 billion to shareholders and, in a fitting bit of symbolism, completed its move from New Jersey to Texas on July 1.
“The second quarter was shaped by disruption, but defined by execution,” Woods said in the earnings release. Translation for policymakers who spent a decade demonizing domestic energy investment while blocking pipelines and refinery expansions… the companies that kept drilling, kept refining, and kept investing are now the reason American fuel supply has held together at all. The United States has not built a major new refinery since the Carter administration. Every politician who cheered that stagnation owns a piece of today’s pump price.
The men of Issachar were commended in Scripture as those “that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do” (1 Chronicles 12:32).
Understanding the times is precisely what our energy debate lacks. The times demand refining capacity, secure shipping lanes, and leaders who grasp that affordable fuel is the foundation of a working family’s budget, not a bargaining chip in a climate crusade.
Woods handed the country an honest diagnosis. Whether Washington has the humility to accept an explanation that does not involve a villain is another question entirely. History suggests the subpoenas will arrive before the understanding does.

Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan to sign joint defense pact amid Iran tensions
Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are set to sign a joint defense pact in Jeddah on Friday, as tensions with Iran rise; The agreement follows months of talks and recent regional developments that accelerated the process, sources told AFP
News Agencies|Yesterday | 22:53
Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan will sign a joint defense agreement on Friday, according to two regional sources described as having “direct knowledge of the matter.” AFP reported that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo
gan, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will sign the agreement at a summit in Jeddah.The two reports did not provide further details about the agreement or specify which provisions it would include. The three leaders will meet amid tensions with Iran. Another source told AFP that “the issue has been under discussion for a long time, and recent regional developments have accelerated the pace of events.”
Last month, Erdogan and Sharif met in Istanbul. “The talks also addressed regional and international issues,” the Turkish president said at a joint press conference. “We support every step aimed at reducing escalation in our region and contributing to resolving problems through dialogue. The current Israeli government, which is addicted to wars, must not be allowed to once again plunge our region into the smell of gunpowder and blood.”
About a year ago, Saudi Arabia signed a mutual defense agreement with Pakistan — one of nine nuclear powers — stipulating that an attack on the territory of either country would be considered an attack on both. The agreement was signed by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Prime Minister Sharif. The move was viewed at the time as a signal toward Israel, as it came a week after Israel’s unusual strike on Qatar and amid reports that Pakistan is the only country in the Middle East that possesses nuclear weapons.
Meanwhile, after dozens of soldiers were killed in Yemen in what appeared to be the Houthis’ deadliest attack in years, 11 people were injured overnight in strikes by the rebels in the Saudi city of Najran. The Saudi-led military coalition supporting Yemen’s internationally recognized government said those wounded included Saudi civilians, a woman and a 4-year-old child who sustained moderate injuries.
People holding Yemeni, Egyptian and Pakistani citizenship were also wounded in the attack, which came after a senior Saudi official said there had been several intelligence warnings from the United States and other countries about an expected attack targeting economic and civilian sites, energy infrastructure, ports and airports.
Yemen war reignites
At least 58 soldiers belonging to Yemen’s government forces were killed on Friday in a Houthi attack. The strikes targeted bases in the Marib and Hadramout provinces, which are controlled by the internationally recognized government. The Yemeni army confirmed there were deaths and injuries among its ranks but did not provide official figures. The government’s health minister ordered hospitals and medical facilities in both provinces to raise their alert levels and prepare to receive additional casualties.
Marib is no longer just a frontline province. It is considered one of the main remaining strongholds of the anti-Houthi camp in northern Yemen, and it contains the country’s only gas field and one of its largest oil fields. A fall or weakening of forces in the area could give the Houthis a significant economic and military advantage. Hadramout, meanwhile, is Yemen’s largest province and a key arena in the power struggle between the Saudi-backed government and southern separatists backed by the United Arab Emirates.
The attack is considered one of the deadliest escalations inside Yemen since an unofficial ceasefire came into effect in April 2022. The arrangement did not officially end the civil war but largely froze front lines and reduced major fighting between the Houthis and the Saudi-backed government. The United States condemned the attack, saying it was another example of the terrorism the Houthis are carrying out against the Yemeni people.
The attack came after weeks of renewed deterioration in relations between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia. Last month, the rebels announced a “naval blockade” against the kingdom in the Red Sea, in response to what they described as the Saudi blockade of Yemen. Riyadh rejects the claim and accuses the Houthis of attempting to disrupt international shipping and its oil exports.

Report: IRGC strikes US base in Kuwait with drones
Iran's IRGC reportedly launches drone attack targeting a US military base in Kuwait, causing explosions and fires, though US confirmation remains pending.

1 minutesIran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) attacked a US military base in Kuwait overnight Monday, a source familiar with the details told i24NEWS.
The source stated that the attack was carried out using at least three drones.
Footage posted to social media showed an explosion as a result of the attack. So far, there are no reports of injuries or damages, nor has there been official US confirmation of the attack.
Earlier, Iranian media outlets reported heavy explosions heard across Kuwait, alongside a large-scale fire that broke out in the central part of the country.
The Iranian news agency Tasnim reported that a US military base in the country sustained a direct hit.
The incident came hours after US President Donald Trump said that he is prepared to authorize a large-scale military strike against Iran but stressed that he would rather avoid such an operation if Tehran agrees to a deal preventing it from obtaining nuclear weapons.
"I think we're going to maybe get something, but I want to give them every last chance before decapitation," Trump stated. "Very tough to do what we have planned, still planned. We'll see what happens, but it's a very, very tough thing to do."
The president emphasized that despite military preparations, his preference remains diplomacy.
"I think I'm very proud of the fact that I will give people a chance," Trump said. "This is a big move to do an attack that big on a country. I'd rather not do it."
Earlier in the day, Trump accused Iran's leadership of being "unbelievably duplicitous" after Tehran denied that it is holding negotiations with the United States.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote that Iranian officials had sought a meeting and that discussions had already begun, with additional talks scheduled.
"Iranian leadership is unbelievably duplicitous! They ask for a meeting, some would say 'beg,' talks begin, with more scheduled in the immediate future, and they say, openly and proudly, that they're not having any discussions, that nothing is being talked about, and they're only dealing with 'Oman,'" Trump wrote.

Canary in the Coal Mine: Trucking Industry Going into Cardiac Arrest
Hal Turner Nation August 04, 2026 Hits: 1896
A routine industry report from FreightWaves provided the clearest evidence yet that the global energy crisis has moved from a macro-economic abstraction to a granular, physical collapse.
While the financial press obsesses over the latest Trump-Iran head fake and the dead-cat bounce on the Nikkei, the trucking and logistics sector—the literal circulatory system of the modern economy—is going into cardiac arrest.
Here’s what the data tells us:
1. The Jobs Are Real, and They’re Disappearing
In the two weeks from July 10 to July 24, freight and logistics companies in the U.S. disclosed plans to eliminate at least 1,222 jobs. This is not a "restructuring." This is a hemorrhage.
Final-mile provider Temco Logistics is not just downsizing; it is discontinuing flatbed delivery operations nationwide. Freight Handlers lost a major contract with Publix supermarkets. GEODIS, GXO, and CJ Logistics are permanently closing warehouses.
These aren't tech startups pivoting to AI; these are the companies that move everything from food to furniture.
2. The Bankruptcies Are the Real Story
Ten freight and freight-dependent businesses filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the same two-week window. The most alarming is Eagle Logistics, a large carrier with 151 trucks and over 240 drivers, which operated a dedicated U.S. Postal Service route. Eagle listed assets of less than $50,000 and liabilities of up to $10 million. That’s a catastrophic insolvency. Also on the list are intermodal drayage carriers, livestock haulers, and warehousing providers. The crisis is national: California, Michigan, Wisconsin, New Jersey—the map of distress is spreading.
These bankruptcies tell us that companies can no longer pass on the cost of fuel to their customers, and they can no longer absorb the losses themselves. They are simply shutting their doors.
3. This Is Happening BEFORE the SPR Floor
This is the most critical point. Tracking shows the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve’s sour crude—the only type that can be refined into the diesel these trucks run on—is at 197 million barrels and falling. The operational floor is 140-150 million barrels. At current drawdown rates, we don’t hit that until September.
In other words, the diesel crisis is already destroying companies while the reserve is still (technically) flowing. The market is running out of affordable fuel faster than the SPR is running out of oil. When the SPR does hit the floor in a few weeks, the current trickle of bankruptcies will become a flood.
4. The “AI Layoffs” Smokescreen Is Officially Dead
You can’t blame these layoffs on artificial intelligence. No one at Freight Handlers lost their contract because ChatGPT started unloading pallets. This is purely the result of diesel prices making entire logistics routes uneconomical. The corporate narrative that “AI is causing mass unemployment” has always been a convenient cover for the demand destruction and energy costs that are actually breaking the economy. This report is the smoking gun.
The Big Picture
For months, I’ve been tracking the energy shock from the Strait of Hormuz through the SPR, into the distillate supply, and now into the real economy. The FreightWaves report is the moment the crisis becomes undeniable. Trucks are the connective tissue of everything: food, medicine, fuel, parts. When the trucking companies start to go under, it means the goods they carry will soon stop arriving. The ghost of empty Store shelves is now visible on the horizon.
The next phase is predictable: as logistics providers fail, their creditors—regional banks and commercial lenders—will start taking losses. The financial system, which has been propped up by hopes of a diplomatic miracle, will face a reckoning rooted not in sentiment but in unpaid invoices and repossessed trucks.
This is not a drill. The physical economy is seizing up in real time. The headlines about peace talks and stock market rallies are noise. The signal is in the trucking bankruptcies. Pay attention.

I do NOT accept paid advertising on my radio show or on my website. No ads to click here and hence no "click bait." This is by design.
Advertisers don't like "controversy." Sadly, the truth, especially nowadays, is often controversial.
When a media outlet survives via advertiser revenue, then advertisers can call-up and say "don't talk about such-and-such or we will have to pull our ads." They get to be content controllers by virtue of their ad money. I won't have that here.
In order to keep the truth flowing, I rely on reader and listener support once a month.

Strongest quake in 40 years rocks Italy’s volcanic region, injures dozens (VIDEOS)
More than 60 aftershocks have rattled the Campi Flegrei caldera as hundreds of residents have been evacuated and transport links disrupted
Published 1 Aug, 2026 14:09 | Updated 1 Aug, 2026 15:10
A magnitude 4.7 earthquake struck the Campi Flegrei volcanic region near Naples in southern Italy on Friday evening, injuring at least 26 people, two of them critically, and damaging dozens of buildings.
The earthquake hit at 7:46pm local time at a shallow depth of about 3km, according to Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV). Its epicenter was between the towns of Pozzuoli and Quarto. Civil protection officials said that it was the strongest quake recorded in the area since continuous instrumental monitoring began, surpassing two magnitude 4.6 tremors registered in 2025.
The quake was felt across Naples, Ischia, Procida, and much of the Gulf of Naples. Seismographs have since recorded more than 60 aftershocks, the strongest measuring magnitude 3.8 late on
