How AI is changing lawyers, billable hours and legal careers– www.cnbc.com

EXCERPT:
Artificial intelligence is now used by almost 90% of legal professionals in the U.K. and Ireland, and it’s putting one of the profession’s oldest conventions — the billable hour — under the microscope.
That’s according to legal software company Clio’s U.K. & Ireland Legal Insights Report 2026. It found that among firms using AI, almost 80% said they can handle more work without increasing resources, while over 70% said it cut costs by absorbing administrative work once done by support staff.
As a result, AI is challenging some of the assumptions on which the legal profession was built, forcing firms to reevaluate how their lawyers spend their time, how they charge for it and how new lawyers learn the ropes.

Some of the U.K.’s biggest firms are already putting this into practice. A&O Shearman has worked with legal AI company Harvey to develop artificial intelligence agents for tasks, including reviewing loan agreements and analyzing regulatory filings, which it says can complete in minutes work that previously took several hours. Slaughter and May, meanwhile, has rolled out Harvey across all practice areas this year, including for regulatory research and document analysis.
Pentagon stops using Anthropic tools after blacklisting company, BBC told– www.bbc.co.uk

EXCERPT:
The US Department of Defence is no longer using Anthropic’s AI tools, an official has told the BBC, months after it designated the company a supply chain risk on national security grounds.
The Pentagon “has ceased the use of Anthropic products”, the department official said in a statement on Monday.
Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth labelled Anthropic a supply chain risk in February, and announced that the Pentagon would stop using it by late August. It is not clear why there has been a delay.
Multiple people familiar with the matter told the BBC that as recently as last week Anthopic’s Claude model was still being used by the department in research, analysis and intelligence gathering as well as in military operations against Iran.
It was viewed as a critical tool for sorting through vast quantities of information, the people said. They include former US defence officials and contractors who have worked closely with the Pentagon specifically on AI.
A spokesman for Anthropic declined to comment when asked about the Pentagon’s statement.
The details of the department stopping all use of Anthropic’s tools have not been previously reported.
The firm had been used by the US government and military since 2024 and was the first advanced AI company to have its tools deployed in government agencies doing classified work.
But earlier this year, the Pentagon pressed it to remove its safety guardrails from Claude and give the military unfettered access to its AI products.
When Anthropic refused, citing concerns of mass surveillance and autonomous weapons, Hegseth designated the company a “national security supply-chain risk” – a law typically reserved for companies based in countries that pose a threat to the US.
Anthropic said the move was “unprecedented and unlawful” and has sued the Trump administration in an effort to overturn the designation.

EXCERPT:
Picking on chatbots will soon break the rules at one major artificial intelligence company.
Anthropic added a ban on “sustained and needless abusive or cruel behavior” toward its Claude models to its Usage Policy Thursday, with the change set to take effect Nov. 12, the company announced. These rules on chatbot “welfare” follow co-founder Chris Olah’s warnings to religious scholars that he believed the company may have built a conscious machine.
“We’ve added a prohibition on sustained and needless abusive or cruel behavior toward our models,” Anthropic said in the “Addressing abusive behavior toward our models” section of the policy update. “The policy update is meant to apply only in extreme cases, where users repeatedly act cruelly toward our models, with no discernible purpose.”
Anthropic clarified that arguments with the model, dark themes, and legitimate model testing would not trigger the ban, according to the policy.

By Vibhuti Sharma, Munsif Vengattil and Aditya Kalra
MUMBAI, Oct 9 (Reuters) – The view from Indian engineer Tushar Shetty’s Mumbai apartment captures a tension playing out around the world as the artificial intelligence boom fuels an unprecedented data-centre building spree.
What was once a stretch of lush greenery outside his 21st-floor window is now a scar of red earth where trees were felled to make way for an Amazon facility that forms part of the tech giant’s planned $21 billion investment in AI infrastructure in India by 2030.
“I would not have bought the house if I had known,” said the 46-year-old, lamenting a purchase made just five months ago.
From the suburbs of Virginia to the outskirts of Amsterdam and Dublin, residents have increasingly rebelled against the spread of AI data centres, complaining of noise, surging electricity consumption, water stress and industrialisation of residential neighbourhoods.
That resistance is gaining ground in India, where Amazon, Google and Microsoft are pouring billions into facilities that advance Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ambition to host “the whole world’s data”, stretching from Maharashtra in the west to Andhra Pradesh in the south.
Unable for now to match the frontier models emerging from the US and China, India is pursuing a different path, betting that dominance in the physical backbone of artificial intelligence may prove just as valuable.
The strategy sits at the heart of Modi’s investment pitch as the world’s back office loses its shine, even as the ambition collides with concerns over scarce resources and communities living alongside the infrastructure powering the digital economy.
India holds 4% of the world’s freshwater for 18% of its people, and data centres are clustering in cities already short of it. S&P Global estimates 60% to 80% of Indian data centres could face high water stress this decade.
In 2025, data centres used about 150 billion litres of water, a figure projected to more than double by 2030, according to research firm Mordor Intelligence.
The Amazon project near Mumbai is emerging as one of India’s most prominent flashpoints. Reuters interviews with more than two dozen residents and a review of official correspondence show growing concerns it will strain local power and water supplies and generate noise harmful to health, particularly for children and the elderly.
Amazon and local authorities have strongly defended the project, saying it will not burden public utilities because water and power will come from dedicated sources. The dispute has nevertheless sparked street protests and drawn opposition politicians into the fight.
Modi’s government has also mounted a public defence, promoting data centres online as “the invisible engines powering India’s digital life” and arguing modern technologies use water and electricity more efficiently.
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, the Prime Minister’s Office and Maharashtra’s chief minister’s office did not respond to requests for comment.
On September 8, hundreds of residents, including elderly people, gathered beside the site holding placards reading “Data centres are energy vampires”. They want the project moved elsewhere.
“If the data centre stops, we will stay … If it goes ahead, we will move,” said Vasudha Shetty, 62, who bought a flat near the 54-acre planned facility, but wants to prioritize a quiet retirement.
AMAZON WEIGHS COMMUNITY OUTREACH
More than 1,000 residents living near the site say the project was pushed through without meaningful consultation.
In Virginia, home to the world’s largest concentration of data centres, Amazon paused a 2024 proposal for three facilities amid concerns over noise and proximity to homes, saying it wanted more time for community engagement. Mumbai residents say they never got that chance.
Internally, Amazon is not overly concerned because government officials have indicated the protests will pass, according to a person familiar with its planning. Still, the company is drawing up community outreach plans to address concerns over noise, water and power.
“Building data centres comes at a cost. Amazon at a global level is prepared to work with community and limit any inconvenience,” the person said. “For now there is no other option but to live with protests.”
Amazon told Reuters the data centre will use water-free cooling, a dedicated power supply separate from homes and noise-mitigation measures. It added that more saplings were planted than trees removed.
Still, even some industry executives question whether data centres belong next to neighbourhoods.
“I will never set up a data centre in a residential area,” Sharad Agarwal, CEO of Sify Infinit Spaces, which runs 14 data centres, said at an industry event in September. “Centres need abundant, uninterrupted power and water … and near homes they risk being starved of both in a shortage.”
Microsoft has also unveiled a four-year $20.5 billion investment plan for India, mostly earmarked for AI data centres.
POLITICAL SNAGS
In the southern state of Andhra Pradesh, environmentalists are opposing Google’s $15 billion data centre project, citing risks to wildlife, water and power supplies and alleging that a temple’s land was used without permission. Google and the state deny any wrongdoing.
The backlash has also turned political. In September, Aaditya Thackeray, an opposition legislator, joined Mumbai protesters demanding the Amazon project be relocated, saying his party would move it if returned to power.
Back in Mumbai, property broker Atul Jadhav said buyer concerns over views and property values may be hurting nearby resale prices.
“We will come out on the roads and do whatever it takes to stop it,” said Vidya Kadam, 68, who has lived in the area for 30 years.

INTRODUCTION
This Sitrep identifies two growing threats to Americanism, Progressivism and Islam. It is an underlying theme almost everywhere, because “politics” now touches nearly every part of every Americans’ lives, never mind how much it touches the daily lives of others worldwide.
We do not mince words when we describe these groups and their ideological beliefs, especially when it comes to the progressives. We use them because they use them, and now they’re saying these things out loud with increasing boldness.
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?” – Matthew 5:43-46
While we support American civic authority taking criminal action against the progressive state, we also support forgiveness and opportunities for restoration for the vast majority of progressives, and even Islamists, willing to conform to American Rule of Law.
NO MATTER their justification, they must commit to not use violence, corporate or state, as a means of influence to deter wrongthink in the public square.
Those who commit to allowing their beliefs and the institutions, the power, to die through consensually made decisions by their neighbors can exist in the American republic to come. It is only to the most egregious offenders, even among public school teachers who taught white shame to children, that we would recommend criminal action, and only by civic authority, not self-declared ones.
Our faith binds us, we believe, to recognize civic authority as the bellwether of God’s judgment on a land. Outside of the state sending squads to murder us all, we do not “touch God’s anointed,” so we in no way, shape, or form, advocate violence as a means of deterring progressive state authority outside of the support of duly elected American civic authority. Where no American civic authority stands, we will continue our work to be as self-sustaining as possible. Our Hope Estate project will continue.
We believe it is important to speak plainly when you perceive dangerous power is about to ascend. This is the category that we put both Islamism and Progressivism, but from these groups future Americans await to be truly woken. There are “Pauls” among them still.
As Elihu said to Job before he offered harsh words to him, “Answer me, if you can; set your words in order before me; take your stand. Behold, I am toward God as you are; I too was pinched off from a piece of clay. Behold, no fear of me need terrify you; my pressure will not be heavy upon you.” – Job 33:5-7
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Our Situation Reports are an attempt to summarize and analyze the most essential bellwethers of a covered period from a Christian Americanist perspective.
We summarize our Bellwether of the Quarter. We have selected three bellwether trends in U.S. Politics, Geopolitics and Culture. In Sci-Tech, this quarter we are concentrating on AI and social media.
We analyze the market according to the major economic indicators (such as the jobs report) over the course of the three-month period (July-September 2026).
Next is our Agit Prop section, which features 2 bellwether examples of Progressive State Agit Prop in the media from each month this quarter.
We conclude the report with an Assessment, a Recommended Action, and a Predictive Analysis.
Read the full research notes we used to compile this Situation Report.
A. TOP BELLWETHER OF THE QUARTER: THE PROGRESSIVE STATE
As we have outlined in past issues of MIA, the progressive state is seeking to throw off the shackles of the vestiges of their parasitical victim, the American republic. This past quarter we have seen the progressive state more overtly PUBLICLY declaring itself.
It’s done this through its cultural leaders, its politicians in power, its candidates hoping to make the break official, and the de facto state press (the MSM press) which continues, in our view, to violate both insurrectionist laws and campaign advertising laws.
Some states have become more openly progressive wherever the Democratic Party has full control. States such as California, New York, and now Virginia, are just a few of these states now attempting to openly follow progressive rule of law over American rule of law.
Our Bellwether of the Quarter was chosen because of the acceleration of the emergence of the state within the republic this past quarter. As far as openly expressing progressive rule of law standards over American rule of law standards, at the highest levels of government (including and especially the judiciary), this past quarter has exceeded all other past quarters.
The progressive state is ready to become its own story, divorced entirely from the “white supremacist story” they tell about our republic.
We look at four aspects of the progressive state emerging, the spirit of what this new state will be, the power demonstrated wherever the progressive state has the capacity to use government force, the key candidates representing the progressive rule of law nakedly, and how the state media continues to act with minimal consequence in violation of American rule of law.
We use the news tag “Progressive State” on stories involving corporate or government authority led by and represented by progressive ideologues and activists.
- THE SPIRIT – If the party of James Talarico consolidates power and forms the progressive state, they will assume their citizens are children who need to be treated like they’re “big kindergartners,” as Covid-19 showed us in spades.
Hasan Piker is the biggest progressive state influencer online today, and he uses his platform to say the quiet parts out loud. He even shouts them. Recently, he told Americans, “I will throw you in prison. I want Chinese-style communism to happen inside of the Democratic Party right now. I want to do cultural revolution sh*t.”
A recent poll revealed a majority of Democrats, most likely, support killing Trump to end his Presidency. The “most likely” part is the fact that 25% of the Democrats polled said they had no opinion, while 31% said they at least somewhat support killing Trump to end his Presidency.
The Democrat Socialists of America are not the fringe of the Democratic Party, they are now the majority, with more than 59% of Democrats supporting the DSA now.
The DSA’s stated goal is to destroy the American Empire, the republic, from within. The top villain in the DSA is the white devil and his white power vehicle, the American Empire.
For the sake of protecting the non-white from the white devil, college students support much stricter penalties for whites than non-whites when it comes to “hate speech” codes. “Hate speech” codes are progressive rule of law standards, not American ones. No doubt progressive schools and teachers trained these American citizens to reject free speech in favor of progressive-controlled speech.
Progressive Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut confessed on a recent podcast that Democrats in power will pass internet “hate speech” and “misinformation” regulations to assure America cannot back a “demagogue” like Donald J. Trump “ever again.”
- THE POWER – In July, Hawaii’s Supreme Court issued a ruling that declared the U.S. Supreme Court was invalid because of its white supremacist ruling reversing Roe V Wade. The reversal ended nationwide protection of the murdering of unborn children.
To the progressive state of Hawaii, defending the unborn from murder is a dog whistle of the white devil, and whatever empowers the white devil must be opposed by anyone not wanting to be called a white devil or a white devil supporter (lest they be un-personed or even murdered).
Anthropic AI is run by progressives who represent progressive, not American values. For them, there is no individual, only preferred social groups. They have made it clear where their standards lie when they recently assembled a panel of progressive radical anti-white, anti-heteronormative, anti-Christian, anti-American activists to determine the standards for AI for all of us (if they have their wish).
Where progressives have power, there are no other people but themselves allowed in, especially Americans.
In the progressive state city of Madison, Wisconsin, revolutionary insurgents took over a part of the city. They created a dependency zone called an autonomous zone to disguise how much they rely on Americans to get their daily sustenance, for the Americans that make their snack packs they stole from a white colonist are their sworn enemies.
The city responded by providing the insurgents with bathroom facilities.
Islamists are using progressive vehicles of power to break the American spirit in the land, counting on them to destroy Bill of Rights standards so they can come up from behind and take over once the Americans have fallen.
When Islamists have power, they vote to force Americans to pay reparations to Muslims for the “crime” of being mean to them after 9/11. This happened in the U.S. congress. The progressive state enables the Islamist state, though its center is not nearly as strong as the Islamists center is, and their warriors are not as committed to die as the Islamists are.
The Democrats have shown you what the progressive state offers, making it official DNC policy to support open borders and abolish ICE altogether, permanently. To them, the nation-state is a vehicle of power for the white man, who invented the nation-state. In truth, they support the nation-state still, they just support only one nation-state, a worldwide Empire destroying every nation-state but its own.
They are by far and away the most imperialistic, most nationalistic, most colonizing of all the ideologies with any real power in the world today, save one, Islamism, their “natural” frenemy until the Americans are destroyed. China’s project is the same as theirs, just with the Han race as the beacon of hope for the world, not the generic “poc race” or non-heteronormative people.
If you think our language is hyperbolic, we can assure you, this is the language the progressives use in classrooms every day, from elementary school to post-grad.
- PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATES – Texas Senate Progressive Candidate James Talarico was caught on camera confessing his full intentions to create legislation in keeping with progressive state rule of law standards, not American ones.
Not facing any real opposition, progressive congresswoman Rashida Tlaib recently declared “America was built on slavery, genocide, and oppression.” In other words, America is a white devil vehicle of power, therefore, it is not legitimate, it is evil, worthy of violent revolt.
She told her audience, “The political structures that we are surrounded by were built on slavery and genocide and oppression. Look at this room, motherf*kers. We aren’t going anywhere. Now we’re in Congress and every corner of the United States.”
They are not Americans, and she makes that clear: they are progressives, naked and free from the bondages of the corpse they emerged from, the American republic.
Progressive Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed couldn’t even condemn the Islamic Revolutionary Guard. He has been calling himself a capitalist as of late, but nothing in his history suggests he is anything but a radical anti-American Islamist, more than willing to borrow the “white devil” narrative from his progressive frenemies to raise street fighters of his own.
A North Carolina Progressive candidate for the state legislature has openly declared her support and intention to put Trump supporters in concentration camps. Shelly Headen’s campaign slogan is “Running to Restore Human Decency.” You must understand that, to Shelly, non-progressives aren’t human at all.
- STATE MEDIA – The MSM press are revolutionary activists consciously seeking to dismantle the American Empire, the republic, from within.
Here are some key examples of the progressive state media’s efforts this past quarter to use agit prop to spread violence and hate against the American people and their republic, from the blogs to the corporate press:
Daily Kos proudly declares America prefers socialists over MAGA, intending that as an own, but so removed from American standards that it is only telling on itself to Americans. It’s saying the quiet part out loud, the “left” is not part of the American project, which rejects state and corporate control of social orthodoxy through violence.
CNN had a townhall with Hasan Piker. Rather than give him a mixed audience who might ask him pointed, direct questions, they filled the audience with progressives and essentially ran an infomercial intending to normalize Hasan and progressive rule of law values in general.
The progressive state project is an international one. While each progressive cell operates within the nation-state it is within, the hope is that the nation-states which fall to the progressives will then become one global progressive state.
The Guardian militantly supports the American progressive state, though it serves the progressive state that has effectively taken over the UK today. A recent headline from the UK branch of the progressive state press connected Trump’s recognition of the “communist menace” from within to “tropes.” In progressive dog whistling, trope is always connected to white supremacist racism.
The message is a dog whistle to progressive street fighters to keep using violence to overthrow the republic. It is also an attempt to shame anyone daring to publicly identify the actual communists now openly running for (and winning) political power in America today.
When President Trump gave his Election Fraud speech, CBS gave it brief coverage, ABC and NBC refused to cover it at all. Every single network mentioned, along with every major progressive state player, has been pushing the lie that there is no fraud in elections, and mass mailer elections are the safest form of voting.
They add to that the message, sometimes through implication, sometimes directly, that only evil people like “right wingers” and “fascists” believe such “lies.”
The President’s speech may not have delivered a “smoking gun” to those who don’t want to see the reality of the lack of integrity of mass mailer voting and digital voting, but to those who understand the inherent lack of integrity in both systems, there was plenty there for an American press to investigate and expose.
They chose to deny and demonize the opinion that mass mailer and digital voting are inherently anti-integrity based, and intentionally so.
- SUMMARY – This quarter, those who do not see the progressive state before our very eyes are already its citizens. What remains to be seen is how many Americans are left, how many of those with one foot in the progressive value system and one foot in the American one will pull out and return fully to the American republic. Lastly, we have yet to discover how many true progressive state citizens there actually are.
B. U.S. POLITICS
In U.S. Politics, we chose the 2026 Elections, Judgefare, and Trump Deportations as our Bellwether Trends. Be sure to read our October 30, 2026, issue of MIA, where we will provide a special thorough look at the midterm elections.
The 2026 midterm elections are just about here, and that trend has dominated nearly every month this quarter. The increased boldness of progressive judges’ rulings is making the division between American and Progressive Rule of Law more and more apparent.
The progressives haven’t given up their hope of ending white dominance and American standards in these lands. Their lawyers, DAs, and judges are ratcheting up their efforts to slow down the deportations of their hoped-for future progressive state citizens, a people conditioned to rely more on the state than themselves for their definitions of happiness.
What the progressive fails to understand is white dominance means nothing to Americans, what matters is rule of law, which should be color-blind. We Americans are united by our commitment to recognize the inherent right of our peaceful neighbors to pursue their own happiness without government or corporate intrusion.
We would rather live in a non-white dominated land that adheres to American rule of law than a white-dominated land which doesn’t.
Black Americans are better neighbors than White Progressives. The “American” part makes anyone, regardless of race, a good neighbor.
The “Progressive” part makes anyone, regardless of race, a dangerous neighbor. The progressive threatens your very self-agency with a moral imperative to use violence against you (called Direct Action) if you fail to comply to their orthodoxy. This is not hyperbole; this is the spirit of the average citizen of the progressive state.
- 2026 ELECTIONS – As we go into the midterms this first week of November, President Donald Trump is finding himself reaching rock bottom (so far) in the opinion polls. On the generic ballot, the Democrats lead the Republicans by double digits.
Going into the election, the Democrats are normalizing the rise of the Socialists in their party, with Gavin Newsom inadvertently confessing the party’s platform would be changed to come closer to the DSA’s.
In the House, the Democrats must win 57 out of the 77 competitive races in order to win a majority.
The primaries witnessed the rise of the Democratic Socialists and Islamists within the Democratic Party, a party that is now openly embracing “socialism.”
SCOTUS officially made this a mass mailer election wherever Progressives rule. This followed the earlier ruling that allowed mass mailer ballots to be counted AFTER the election. This means those slow-drip elections that make manufacturing votes so easy are sure to continue, now “constitutionally” (at least in the progressive state, not in the American republic).
On the gerrymandering front, SCOTUS would deliver a U.S. House Progressive state hold when it effectively ruled the general election would be conducted by Missouri’s 2022 district map, even though the primaries were held with the 2025 district map. Their ruling assumed timeliness trumped basic election security and integrity.
AI governance and Data Centers have become the central driver in a number of races. We wrote about how these issues are drowning out the existential rule of law standards at stake in the midterm elections.
While the Democrats use the AI devil as a tool to distract from the radical shift in governance their party now represents, they also use government power to assure no effective safeguards at the national level takes place. They recently nixed a bill-by-consent that would have put a check on AI data center power by empowering state regulators to apply more rigorous energy demand standards.
The tactics of the Progressives are now obvious, to pretend to be moderate Democrats as opposed to what they actually are, anti-capitalist, anti-white, anti-Christian, and anti-American.
They hope to use the sheep in wolves clothing tactic, coupled with the demagoguery of the AI devil, to win rural voters over.
- JUDGEFARE – The list of rulings against President Trump exploded this quarter. It started with a ruling by an Obama judge that not only cancelled an IRS settlement with President Trump, it also started a process of barfare against DOJ attorneys. From preventing efforts to check voter rolls and ending mass mailer ballot elections, all levels of the Federal judiciary have been busy striking down Trump policies.
Ending DEI is somehow a constitutional problem for progressive judges. The rulings are almost always “procedural” or opinion based, such as assuming the judge knows better than the President what constitutes a security issue or deciding their preferred group’s special privilege trumps American security, and even sovereignty.
Perhaps the most egregious ruling came when SCOTUS somehow found a way to make it easy for America’s enemies to conquer her by having babies on her soil. Samuel Alito, an American justice, wrote in dissent of the ruling, “American citizenship, the court says, was based on a medieval English ‘feudal’ principle, according to which each person ‘owed personal service to the lord of the soil’ as his ‘master’—a perpetual servitude that was ‘born with the child and only ended in the grave.’”
In other words, the Roberts majority had to pretend American rule of law was based on the divine right of kings, not the Declaration of Independence, that we have no King for We are the government. As Alito noted, this ruling came just a couple days before the 250th anniversary of a republic born in resistance to the divine right of Kings.
It should be noted that Britian itself departed the divine right of Kings standard with the ascension of William and Mary, who ruled as protectors of a state church, whose voluntary membership served as the real justification for state rule, the approval of the people. Roberts skipped history class the day they taught about the Glorious Revolution.
We wrote about this in Part 4 of our Transitions series, England’s Death of the Divine Right of Kings.
Shortly after this ruling. A Texas Hospital was caught selling American birthright citizenship plans to foreigners, with CCP members ready to buy.
Progressives have all-but completely taken over most of the major judiciary institutions, from law schools to bar associations. They organize behind closed doors to affect lawfare strategies to target people which, in their eyes, are criminals by their very being, white supremacists and their white supremacist allies.
At this point, we are thoroughly convinced they truly believe the white devil lie, and to them, everyone not speaking progressive is dog whistling white supremacism. This is not hyperbole. This is observed reality.
This is why it is so easy for judges and prosecutors alike to knowingly violate American rule of law. It is justified because they are protecting the people from something even worse than Hitler, the American.
Jack Smith’s work might very well be the pattern seen from local to federal levels, wherever progressive prosecutors reign. The tactics are easy to duplicate when the judges are in on the game, which was a problem for Smith, who ran across an American judge.
American Senator Chuck Grassley accused the progressives of nearly destroying our republic, claiming, “The previous Democrat administrations under Obama and Biden conducted secret, insidious and downright evil operations that almost took down our government. That’s arguably worse than Watergate.”
The progressive effort to murder the republic continues.
- TRUMP DEPORTATIONS – On one hand, the GOP is pushing to codify President Trump’s deportation efforts, but on the other, an increasing number of Republicans in toss-up districts are calling on “moderation” in deportation.
They do so as it becomes increasingly clear the Biden imports were targeted to disrupt white rural and suburban communities. Wherever white majorities exist, there is a problem that only people from cultures and nations that oppose our American way of life can solve.
That last part is the most essential part, for where there are non-whites who embrace Americanism, there is no compassion to make them American citizens. There is no great hue and cry from the progressives to welcome Nigerian Christians, who are being murdered by Islamists, because these non-whites would be predisposed to favor Americanism over Progressivism.
We would prefer these “immigrants” over the white progressives born here.
The white devil is the justification to murder their true targets, the Christian church and the American republic.
Those rescuers of white majority-ism, Biden’s imports (as we are calling this massive influx of illegal aliens under Biden) triggered national housing costs to rise by more than 30%.
Representative Brandon Gill flat-out accused the Democrats of using Biden’s imports as a “path to political power,” and they were (and still hope to), through making them permanent progressive state voters.
SCOTUS helped Trump with a ruling that allows the President to deport Biden’s imports to third countries, but the progressive district justices, mostly Biden committee-appointed judges, have been consistently striking down every effort to remove illegal aliens from American lands.
Progressive lawyers and prosecutors are also willing to bend every American rule of law standard in preference to the rescuers from white majority-ism, including letting out convicted child rapists.
To the progressive, being unapologetically white is worse than murdering and raping children, especially white children.
Every time there is an incident involving an ICE officer harming a protestor or illegal alien, professional progressive street fighters march in to physically intimidate any and all, wherever and whenever they can. Wherever the law allows it, violence is executed, in the form of direct assaults on ICE agents, destroying property, or assaulting Americans who dare stand up to them.
Where progressives have state power, every effort is made to hamper, impede, and harm ICE agents by any means which their progressive judges will brazenly allow.
C. GEOPOLITICS
Our three geopolitical bellwethers are obvious ones, China, Iran, and the UK. With China, the U.S. is currently engaged in a geopolitical struggle both to secure cheap and effective AI resources and prevent the other from doing the same. At home, China is fully engaged in helping the progressive state activists create instability and slow down American AI development.
Iran is the major battle in the geopolitical AI war, with this quarter seeing the regime bolstered mostly by progressive state agit prop. While the U.S. has failed to finish off the regime, its hold on power is becoming increasingly tenuous as economic collapse only accelerates from within.
The UK continues its slide into oblivion as its identity dissolves into the progressive state led by its unelected Prime Minister, Andy Burnham. It serves as a bellwether for what it’s like to live under progressive state rule. It might also serve as a bellwether for what might be done to topple that state, should the British natives successfully offer a counter-revolutionary response to their colonization by the progressive state.
On our radar is an emerging trade conflict in the Caspian Sea, with all the major powers coming to a potential head over trade route access. The AI Wars are making secured trade routes vital, but that’s not enough. The AI Wars are also making it vital for you to make your competition’s trade routes as un-secured as possible.
We are also watching Islamist and progressive violence spreading across European nations like France and Spain. Expect a Deep Dive soon on the state of Progressive Islamist Europe.
- CHINA WATCH – China appears to be preparing its citizens for a war footing, which might be borne from a genuine concern or a posture for Xi to secure patriotic support.
While Xi continues to conduct government purges from within, his influencers abroad are beating American ones. No doubt the assistance of the progressive state press helps his cause. His frenemy partners in America have helped as much as anyone else at driving world opinion towards China.
China has disrupted American government cyber security and inserted sensitive parts into U.S. voting machines (we presume with progressive compliance). American Progressive state universities have allowed China to set up propaganda centers in their universities.
China’s youth want the false assurance of Maoist control, a spirit cultivated by Chairman Xi’s agit prop in the schools. This happened as China officially became an ethnic nationalist state, the very type of state progressives ALLEGEDLY fear the most.
The meeting at the White House between Chairman Xi and Trump seemed on the surface to yield more for Xi than for Trump. Rumors of Xi’s shaking or failing health only increased during this visit. Allegedly, the President offered to sell China weapons, though that allegation has yet to be confirmed.
China is going all-in on AI, even as its top spy chief warns AI could topple the party. Xi is attempting to create a coalition of AI nations in opposition to the U.S. At this point, nations are sizing up their place in potential coalition pecking orders and their advantage or disadvantage in selecting one of the three emerging centers of AI power, America, China, and the EU.
As China moves closer to Canada, Canadians move closer to China, making Canada a security threat the closer they gravitate towards a Chinese alignment.
China is winning influence in countries like Germany and the UK, even as evidence of its violations of trust continue to emerge in both countries.
- IRAN WAR – By the end of the third quarter of this year, it has become apparent that militarily Iran is not viable. It has also become apparent the progressive state press continues to support narratives that undermine confidence in the war with the American people. Support for the war has never been lower.
President Trump’s fiery UN speech was met with scorn by the “American” press, who reveled when the Iranian officials walked out mid-speech. He made it clear his intentions of ending the regime’s power for good.
After alleged Iranian agents were caught trying to bomb a UK air base with U.S. forces on it, Burnham’s government chose to let the men out on a bail that required no monetary deposit. Trump’s only public response to the decision was “I wouldn’t have done that.”
At the end of September, Iran proposed a seven-day truce to re-open the Strait of Hormuz, which was rejected, as traffic to and around the Strait has returned to pre-war levels.
Iran’s economy is shutting down, its oil rots in ports, unable to break the blockade, yet the progressive state press will tell you victory for Iran is near.
Here is how we reported the war in our July SitRep: “The war began the month in a ceasefire, exited it, entered it again, and is currently mostly out of it. The Iranian regime was able to hold a funeral, where they called on the American government to be assassinated, and an American progressive attending gleefully agreed.
“While the U.S. has failed to remove the regime from power, as a fighting force, the regime is essentially done. Even Iran’s latest attempt to fight back, a surprise missile attack, failed to make any impact whatsoever.
“The response to the surprise attack was twelve straight days of the most intense bombing of the war so far, as infrastructure was targeted, including bridges.
“Internally, there are signs of dissenting action, but the regime’s murderous response has prevented any meaningful resistance from forming.
“The Strait of Hormuz is still not secure, and now the Houthis are attempting to shut down the Red Sea. The hope is that shutting down two major shipping lanes, the Red Sea and the Strait of Hormuz, will cripple the global economy.”
What has changed since then are signs of internal dissent are much greater than they were before, the economy is truly collapsed, and the Strait is either secured or alternative routes have been successfully created.
The last month has seen minimal military engagements by the U.S., outside of mainly securing the Strait.
The refusal of the President to make this war clearly about AI geopolitical strategy has emboldened dissent at home, even among republicans, who helped pass another House resolution calling on the President to end the war in Iran.
While the Houthis have successfully opened up a new front in the war by attacking the Red Sea and taking coastal Red Sea territory, their effect on world trade has so far not materialized.
- UK WATCH – Here is what we wrote about the UK in our July SitRep: “The UK began the month with a defense wish list they realize they cannot fund. Like many other militaries, the UK is banking on AI integration, drone technology, and high technology in general to create the new military of the 21st century.
“Nigel Farage was hit by a political scandal when it came out he had received millions of pounds from a wealthy donor as a ‘gift.’ He did not receive the gift while in office, but efforts to charge him with a crime for not reporting what the gift was for have nonetheless commenced.
“Keir Starmer would spend his last days as Prime Minister, leaving office July 20, 2026. Andy Burnham has taken the helm, promising to right the ship Starmer crashed (or so the narrative goes) …
“While Labour has recently taken the lead in the polls, the Burnham bump has not pushed the party up decisively. It appears to have given them a 4-point bump. The polls, however, still largely fail to prompt for Restore Britain as a party choice.
“Britian appears to be continuing to divide along nativist and colonist lines, with the progressives taking the side of the colonists they imported on the nativists’ dime.”
The slide between the preferred progressive UK classes, the “migrants,” has only dramatically accelerated. Protests, and even riots, attempting to disrupt the continued importing of “migrants” has led to more arrests, more videos of British police attacking the British people, including women.
A recent video showing a “British” store forcing men to be in one aisle and women in another to be Sharia compliant has only highlighted the existential divide between the imported people and the natives.
Reform appears done as it slides, at times, into third behind the conservatives, and Labor now continues to lead. Burnham, however, is not convinced it’s time to strike, so he is refusing to call for early elections, just yet. He is, however, floating the campaign narrative for the next election, hoping it will be about raising taxes to pay for more free social healthcare for its new “residents.”
In response to rising dissent, the progressive government is doubling down on efforts to censor, block, and arrest dissenters and their messages. Their efforts are so extreme, President Trump warned them they were close to violating Americans’ rights, including American social media companies.
D. CULTURE
All year so far, abortion and euthanasia have been trending topics worldwide. Subcategories of “wokeness” continue to dominate culture headlines. In our wokeness category, we are limiting our analysis to the key bellwethers. Be sure to scan our notes from our culture section to read all the stories we didn’t cover here.
- WOKENESS – The rise of the DSA has brought with it another partner, Islamists. So far, Islamists within the progressive party have at least kept quiet about the rainbow ideology party of progressivism. They’ve embraced the white devil narrative, but not so much the rainbow narrative.
The rainbow narrative has these two essential beliefs: homonormativity trumps heteronormativity and social gender trumps the gender binary.
This belief is not justified by objective scientific studies, it is justified by the white devil narrative. In the progressive worldview, heteronormativity, the gender binary, and even monogamy, are all merely vehicles of power for white supremacists. Again, this is not hyperbole.
The Islamist is on board with the white devil narrative, especially because it also invalidates Christianity, which was allegedly invented by the white man to keep the black man down.
Where the Islamists break with the progressive is over the rainbow part of the DSA and the progressives. Now, those cracks are beginning to show.
Our medical institutions are still being controlled by woke activists, meaning the doctors they equip today will have gone through a gauntlet of white devil affirming rituals (ESPECIALLY if they happen to be white) before becoming your doctor.
This is why we recommend no American, regardless of race, accept the services of a doctor who graduated med school in the last five years, unless you have a personal reference that lets you know they don’t represent those anti-American, racist values.
Who wants to be medicated by a doctor who just agreed to hate you because of the color of your skin? Who wants to be medicated by a doctor willing to publicly pledge hatred of a people, even if you’re not the people they pledge to hate?
Recently, an American Medical student had her PhD research suspended because it invalidated medical “treatment” for children who “decided” they’re of a different gender than their sex. Celina Lazzari’s study has led her to oppose trans medical “treatment” of children. For this, our medical institutions will blacklist her from any high stations in their progressive-controlled institutions.
For her belief that medicine should not mutilate children for the sake of the trans ideology, our current medical institutions have now blacklisted her from excellent positions within their hierarchies of power.
These are NOT American institutions. These are not scientific institutions.
The voices that will get the research dollars and the influential chairs will be the ones that publicly affirm the white devil narrative and publicly support mutilating children to make them “look” like the opposite gender (which is also the sex).
A progressive U.S. representative, Jahana Hayes, not only defended DEI in schools, she said “Teaching colonialism directly addresses the systemic roots of healthcare inequities.”
Let us remember that progressivism’s end goal is to colonize the entire world with their ideology, by the end of the gun.
The gender binary is now heretical. The white man as a human being is blasphemous. These are not American institutions.
In our colleges and universities, the white devil standard bearer, DEI, is still being covertly practiced and enforced, though with less effectiveness than before. Also, in some instances DEI has been rendered mostly neutered.
Still, DEI as a way of life among the progressive citizens that run our American institutions, the revolutionary activists called professors, is still their lifeblood, their justification for daily violence against the American republic.
Progressive judges are doing their best to stop the removal of a blatantly racist, anti-heteronormative, pro-child-mutilating ideology mostly for procedural issues. The removal of overtly discriminatory standards that target whites, heterosexuals, men, and ‘cis-gendered’ people should not be an issue with the courts.
With American courts, they wouldn’t be, but with progressive courts, DEI is their real rule of law. They bend the constitution to DEI, not the other way around.
- ABORTION WATCH – As Christians and other Americans continue their fight against unborn child murder, the progressive state press is busy telling their audiences that pro-life groups are violent. The latest progressive state organ to do so is the Colorado Times Recorder. They ran a story with this headline, “Kansas Group Linked to Abortion Clinic Violence Protests in Colorado.”
If the progressive state press disappeared overnight, and an American one replaced them, the true horrifying reality of a child sacrifice industry would be exposed. Abortion mills would be exposed by investigative reporters with mainstream platforms, free from lawfare assault by progressive state prosecutors and judges.
Support for abortion would plummet overnight if America could see the real cost of “casual sex.”
We wrote in our August Sitrep, abortions are on the rise thanks to AI’s normalization of abortion and the ease with which women and girls can obtain the “abortion pill.”
The ease of acquiring the pill is leading to spikes in reported forced abortions by men attempting to either cover up their rapes or free themselves from financial liability. Abortionists are fighting against the “stigmatization” of the work they do, murdering unborn children.
One state, Massachusetts, legalized abortion up to birth while another state, Virginia, has a ballot initiative to do the same. There are now 10 states that have legalized abortion up to birth, and those states have fallen below population replacement levels, a goal of the progressive state.
Virginia’s ballot measure has been opposed by a coalition of Pastors, who wrote, “We believe these two amendments must be rejected for the Commonwealth of Virginia because they will harm our state as they are opposed to human flourishing and contrary to the Word of God. Let us seek one another’s true good and not mark our identity with the deprivations that these amendments would bring to the Constitution of Virginia.”
The story of a surrogate mother who fled from California to Texas to protect the baby inside her from the parents’ command to abort the child has become THE bellwether of the spirit of abortion in the land.
One woman risked life and limb and freedom to save a child while a progressive couple sought to use the state to force her to murder the life growing inside her.
California supported the would-be murderers, awarding the now-born child to the couple that wanted to murder him. They claimed it was a woman’s right to choose, until it wasn’t. The surrogate mother faced death threats from “pro-choice” militants.
California is also now forcing all public universities to advertise abortion services. None of them promote prenatal care and alternatives to abortions. This legislation does not require them to.
- EUTHANASIA WATCH – The normalization of euthanasia worldwide has only accelerated, though there have been some victories. In the UK, though it is controlled by progressives, still rejected yet another attempt to legalize euthanasia. In the Netherlands, euthanasia reached a new low, executing a child at the age of two. The doctors claim the execution was “handled well.”
This is the same country that allowed a 17-year-old rape victim to request euthanasia and be granted it. One of the last words she heard before the euthanasia “doctor” injected her with a lethal cocktail was from that same doctor. He said, “Girl, have a nice trip.”
In Colorado, efforts to assure standards are being met in their euthanasia program appear to be lacking, with no evidence of proper mental health evaluations happening with the “consenting” “patients.”
Also in Colorado, a man who euthanized his healthy mother also inherited her fortune. A progressive judge ruled that when he suffocated his mother to death with a plastic bag that he was only euthanizing her. He ordered the man to donate $25,000 to an organization that promotes “assisted suicide.”
In Canada, the execution of an 83-year-old woman by euthanasia doctors left the victim covered in blood and the family claiming the woman did NOT consent to being euthanized.
Canada’s euthanasia program almost killed a woman suffering from Stage 4 Breast Cancer. Her doctors strongly encouraged her to consider euthanasia. This led her to flee to America, where she was cured. A healthy woman suffering from depression was also recently euthanized by Canadian “doctors.”
E. SCI-TECH
This quarter, sci-tech was dominated by AI, but Social Media, though it was a distant second, was still a dominant trend this quarter. AI in particular is developing many sub-topics that are becoming dominant trends in their own right, like AI Data Centers and AI Governance. In our 2026 election section, we highlighted AI’s role in this midterm election (which is significant).
Social media is going through a major shift in geopolitical realities that are putting its global reach in jeopardy. For both, this past quarter has been seminal in their development. For this reason, we are limiting our bellwether analysis in sci-tech to just two, AI and Social Media.
- AI WATCH – AI developments are only continuing to explode as institutions race to figure out how to exist in the new realities this tool is potentially creating. Here is a brief overview touching on some of the most essential developments of AI this quarter.
It only touches the surface of what we have archived and covered this past quarter.
In our last issue, Paul Gordon Collier wrote about Agentic AI, “This technology is the backbone of all the other technologies to follow. Without Agentic AI (AAI), no military can hope to remotely compete with one that has such powers. For this reason alone, nation-states must assure they either have the most powerful, fastest-processing AI agents or be allied with a nation-state that does. This factor alone makes AI as essential to the 21st Century military as gunpowder has been to all militaries for the last six plus centuries.
“Currently, militaries are already using agentic AI, with the U.S., Russia, and Ukraine deploying it in major operations. Maven Smart System has been used by the U.S. military, which is a provider of intelligence gathering and targeting-supporting AI agents. That has been succeeded by Agent Network, which was just launched in June of this year.”
AI is far and away the “It Girl” of world power. So far, in America, the conversations about AI are borderline puerile, reducing the discourse to “AI will save us all” or “AI is the antichrist.”
As we live with nation-states who play geopolitical “games,” the luxury of halting AI production is not there for any nation-state hoping to be a world power in the decades to come.
AI is a powerful signal as well, able to create, enforce, and promote “ideal” narratives even if only through its ethical code, which will become the ethical code of anyone hoping to use these services.
The battle lines are being drawn around AI governance, and so far, in America, the progressives are well ahead of the Americans, who have yet to form an identifiable faction. The American-adjacent, such as Trump and most non-RINO Republicans, are only just now attempting to deal with the progressives’ emerging hold on AI governance.
As far as controlling AI in war, Trump and AI tech leaders such as Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg had an AI summit where they all promised they would “be responsible.”
President Trump wants AI as free a range as possible to develop, believing (and probably rightly so) that China, America’s main geopolitical adversary, won’t be constraining its use and development of AI as a weapon of war.
In our Futureq Report from the last issue of MIA, Paul Gordon Collier wrote “China is going down the full AI-autonomous swarm path in all domains, air, land, sea, and space, while the U.S. is developing a human supported by a drone team model. China may be betting AI can outthink humans in combat while the U.S. is betting human wisdom as a final check and director of overall action can ‘outthink’ its AI counterpart in China.
“China might also recognize the limits of authoritarian-dominated institutions in creating the kinds of humans who could run a U.S.-designed New Model Military.”
The President will be creating an AI czar who may eventually create something like the “AI Force.” This position could one day be the most powerful position in the land.
- SOCIAL MEDIA WATCH – The quarter started with major legislative action worldwide that targeted social media. We wrote in our July 2026 Sitrep, “The assault on an open worldwide social media is well underway. This month, those efforts have only expanded. The favorite tools of control are digital taxation, the levying of fines, requirements to monitor misinformation, ‘hate speech,’ and digital ID to keep children off the internet. The UK looks to force midnight digital curfews on teens from 16-17, with sweeping bans for children under 16.
“The push to ban children from social media is a trojan horse almost everyone sees is about censorship and control of internet access by the state. In the name of saving the children, the state will require regular digital ID verification of every user on the internet, no matter their age, to assure they’re not really under 16.
“Canada, South Korea, the UAE, and France have joined a growing list of nations using child social media bans to smuggle in social media state control and monitoring.”
We wrote in our August 2026 Sitrep, “The frontlines of the global social media battle continue to be ‘child safety’ and ‘misinformation,’ with both becoming opportunities of revenue and backdoor means of internet control by government agencies at various scales, from nation-state to local.
“Unless there is a massive reversal in trends, we see the potential for the loss of meaningful global digital discourse at a massive scale within the next 10 years. Nation-states and zones like the EU are becoming increasingly zealous of internet control tailored to their particular self-serving interests.
“Social media at a time when many nation-states already know the masses are going to be ‘asked’ to make great sacrifices for the good of the whole is fire to the flames they know they are about to fan with their draconian legislation.
“Americans support stronger oversight of social media by the state, including regulations to keep children off of it. The polls don’t ask if they support digital ID confirmations with every internet sign-in as a price for that ‘child safety’ measure.”
The trends this past month have only continued along the lines we observed in August.
The EU has announced plans to restrict social media access for children, which will required digital ID for all users to assure none of them are children. A recent study of nations that have such laws has revealed they only work in empowering the state to track adults, they are less effective at keeping children off social media sites.
The UK has gone so far that the Trump administration is concerned its censorship laws will catch Americans up in its snare. He warned Burnham’s government to be mindful of Americans’ first amendment rights.
President Trump himself is pushing the bounds of social media in the Presidency.
We reported, “President Trump’s Truth Social announced plans to offer corporations the opportunity to see the most influential Truth Social posters’ posts a few seconds before everyone else does. The offer is available only for institutional clients, specifically banks, hedge funds, and high-frequency traders. You pay for a few seconds of insider trading.
“The ethicality of the decision is being questioned across the political sphere, never mind the legality of it. The question is, is this not simply selling Presidential influence? The product is the Presidential power, not Trump’s wisdom.
The interim CEO, Kevin McGurn, said, ‘Markets are already reacting to Truth Social posts. The Truth API will provide direct, licensed access to the platform’s most market-moving content, while allowing us to monetize our own assets’”
F. MARKET
Near the end of this quarter, the Federal Reserve moved to raise interest rates for the first time in 3 years. The decision to raise the interest rate was unanimous. The rates were raised by a quarter percentage point, making the new base range 3.75% to 4%.
The inflation rate remains above the Fed’s targeted 2% benchmark to lower rates.
The consumer price index increased by 3.4% in both July and August, with the main driver being gasoline and energy costs.
The 30-Year Treasury Bond Yield hit 5.501%, which was a high not reached since June of 2007. The spike came after U.S. economic data showed a stronger than expected economy, raising concerns there would be more Fed rate increases to combat inflationary pressures.
High oil prices have also contributed to the spike. The rate is a benchmark for long-term interest rates and long-term borrowing.
The Unemployment Rate mostly hovered around 4.2% throughout the quarter, with the last numbers reported for the month of August.
In September, private payrolls increased by 46,000 while government payrolls fell by 17,000. This is an overall healthy trend.
The Labor Market overall is growing, but not by much, with July’s revised numbers showing job losses. Wage growth is at 3%, which is well below what it had been, and reaching levels of lows not seen in a few years.
Something looming under the surface we reported in July could change the dynamic of the markets in due time: “A surge in hidden debt among AI giants like Oracle and Meta is setting off alarms in the industry. The hidden debt comes from future payment operations for expenses not yet online to make money. For instance, leases and property taxes must be paid on sites that are earmarked for databases that haven’t been built or completely built yet. The hidden debt amounts to more than $1.65 trillion.”
As pressure grows, some of the market growth from AI stocks could be taken back if investors can’t see how many of these companies plan on meeting these challenges as the massive bills come due.
If shipping has truly returned to pre-Iran War numbers, some pressures on oil pressures will be decreased, but the drone wars in Ukraine and Russia are now targeting diesel oil refineries, which is threatening truck transport, which is threatening the market as a whole.
The President has announced plans to cut this off, including making modifications of standards to allow alternative diesel to flow. He is also putting pressure, such as he can, on both Putin and Zelensky, to end targeting each other’s refineries. It remains to be seen how effective his efforts will be.
Some of the pressure on gas prices is coming from years of anti-refinery action by progressives. In 2025, we reported on California’s “success” at shutting down most of the refineries in the state. It has only gotten worse since then.
We reported then, “With two oil refineries already shut down thanks to California’s anti-energy “climate change” laws making the cost of refining increasingly non-profitable, California is desperate to hold on to another refinery, Valero, whose Benicia plant is slated to shut down in April of 2026. Lawmakers are negotiating the possibility of essentially subsidizing the plant (paying for the cost of their regulations) to the tune of $80 million minimum, $200 million max.”
AI is currently driving the markets upward, but it has a big debt problem underneath that growth. Even if both the Ukraine War and Iran War ended today, infrastructure problems worldwide, especially in America, make fixing the gas price problem not such an easy fix.
While the AI debt shadow casts a doubt for the future, $1 trillion plus worth of investments in new U.S. factory builds have yet to come online. Once they do, the dynamic in America could, theoretically, be radically different than today.
While the markets may continue to grow, the prospect for the average consumer is not bullish, but not recessionary. The market has a mix of strong and weak forces effectively putting us in a malaise-state, not quite prospering, but not quite becoming recessionary. As factories come online, however, that situation could change for the better for the average consumer and worker.
G. AGIT PROP
Here are our top two Agit Prop Headlines from each month in the quarter, starting with September (with one dishonorable mention).
- SEPTEMBER
Democrats are running pastors for office. Republicans are attacking their religious comments. – Politico – It is clear to the casual historically orthodox Christian that this headline was not written by someone who has a remote understanding of the faith in that historical context. To this progressive writer, the “progressive Christian” is as authentic as the historically orthodox Christian, or at least that’s what the writer wants to create in your mind with this headline.
The “Pastors” running for office in the progressive party deny Christ is God, deny the infallibility of scripture, and teach that Christ is a man with good ideals.
All of Christ’s ideals affirm their progressive worldview, which includes the belief the white race created the patterns of evil the world has been oppressed by since America was formed. The FBI attempted to codify that standard into government during the Biden administration.
The progressive writer most likely understands that, to historically orthodox Christians, their views are considered an assault on our faith, not an affirmation of it. Republicans are attacking their religious comments because they’re antithetical to basic Christian scripture-based teachings, and they legitimize anti-American, anti-Christian government policies.
These “Pastors” use Christ to demonize those who oppose abortions, who don’t believe the white devil is the greatest evil in the world, who don’t support transitioning children, and certainly those that oppose hate speech laws intended to protect “disenfranchised classes” like minor-attracted-persons and non-binaries.
To the casual “reader,” the headline gives themselves permission to dismiss any religious opposition to their progressive agenda, since this headline “confirms” Republicans (aka anyone not them) are hypocritical, because when progressives finally embrace faith in politics, Republicans just attack them.
We are sure there are progressive podcasts out there even as we write this, claiming this proves conservatives, anyone not them, never really cared about having religion in politics anyway, not when it finally “backfired” on them.
To them, the “teachings” of progressive pastors are more “Christian” than a plain reading of Romans Chapter 1.
While they call you a Nazi, which is a signal to others that you’re a military target, they tell you that your god is a god of hate, and their god is a god of love. This is pretty much the spirit this headline is giving permission to hold.
Iran is suffering yet surviving under Trump’s economic warfare – Washington Post – If Iran was a Christian country being invaded by the U.S. for not allowing gay marriages, the Washington Post headline would read “American Power Causes Major Economic Cracks in Faltering Fascist State.”
This headline was possibly written by an operative who understands what’s at stake in Iran. They may understand that the socialist model is being challenged, should an American state they don’t control too soon build the superpower AI of the next generation.
If non-progressive America’s AI beats China’s AI, this will be a major blow to the prestige status of the progressive project.
Iran as a Chinese ally gives China tremendous opportunity not only to shore up Iranian AI resources, but to continue their effort to lock down Afghanistan as an AI resource hub.
There’s more at stake than this, but, if we are right, this is the main driver of most geopolitical action by those who are pragmatically looking at the new AI reality of power. If China loses Iran, Afghanistan opens up for America, which could significantly set back China’s AI resource potential in the immediate years to come.
If this is our theoretical operative at work, this headline first humanizes Iran. They don’t refer to them as the Islamic Republic. They are looking for casual reader programming here, meaning, they are targeting headline-only readers with these types of headlines.
The intent is to erode support for the war at home. This might be one of two CCP strategies to offset American military advantage. That advantage is still very real, though not quite as supreme, yet still dominant. The other strategy is to spread AI horror stories, real or imagined, to slow down U.S. AI development through politics.
While it humanizes Iran, it vilifies U.S. action, referring to it not as American action, but Trump action. To the one either relying on agit prop organs like Politico for “news” or being fed the headline from influencers or memes on social media sites (which is where most of the actual influence by the progressive state press exists), they have been told the poor Iranians are being unjustly harmed by a man they already know is “literally worse than Hitler.”
This makes the action inherently evil, and not even American, so they can easily cheer for the Iranians at their own, and our (their unfortunate neighbors) expense. They can wish harm, essentially, on themselves and their American neighbors without having to nakedly face the fact they are rooting against the land that butters their bread.
The blood and bone cost of living is not real to these ideologues, all built around the spirit that the world is a battle between good, their ideology, and evil, the white devil and his enablers (which is basically anyone who does not sign up for the whole program).
To this headline writer, they are defending the world against America, even as they thrive off the fat of its land. To the American, this headline might as well have been written by the Iranian mullahs themselves. It is no wonder the Iranians have endorsed the Democrats in the upcoming midterm election.
We want to give a dishonorable mention to this headline, First Trump Came for Immigrants. Then He Came for Their Lawyers. – Mother Jones – The “immigrants” in that headline are illegal aliens. The “lawyers” are progressive lawyers willfully breaking the law to protect the illegal aliens. The people really coming for your neighbors are the writers of Mother Jones painting an assassin’s bullseye on ICE agents with that headline.
- AUGUST
That unfounded nonsense is “Called Mail in Ballots a Threat to Democracy.”
The word “Democracy” is THEIR word, not the word of conservatives, or even Americans. We both prefer “Republic.” The word “Democracy” tells the reader that Mail in Ballots and Democracy go together, and challenging Mail in Ballots is more intrusive to the Democratic election process than the Mail in Ballots are themselves.
As for any concerns about ballots that are not verified to be sent by actual citizens who actually chose the selections on the ballot, this is what Mother Jones has to say about that,
“There is no evidence that mail-in ballots are ‘prone to fraud.’ An analysis from the Brookings Institution found an ‘average total mail voting fraud percentage across the 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2022 general elections of only 0.000043 [percent].’ Or, about 4 votes per 10 million votes. Mail-in voting can be very important for disabled and aging people, who otherwise may have to deal with accessibility challenges with getting to the polls and access issues when voting itself.”
Brookings Institute is part of the network of the Progressive State Press.
There you have it, no worries there. Progressives, trust us, right now we’re cheating to protect the world from the white devil. When the white devil is vanquished, we’ll stop cheating, promise.
FBI seizes Swalwell’s devices, executes search warrants in sexual misconduct probe – CBS News – CBS News is protecting the Democratic Party from being rightly sullied with the real story. The headline should read, FBI ABRUPTLY SEIZES SWALWELL’S PHONE AT AIRPORT INVESTIGATING CCP SPY TIES.
A shorter headline might read, CCP-CONNECTED SWALWELL GETS PHONE TAKEN BY FBI AT AIRPORT.
They start their headline with “FBI,” which is hated at present by their targeted audience, progressive influencers. This telegraphs the narrative to combat the real story; a prominent Democrat once thought of as a potential future Presidential candidate was having an ongoing affair with a Chinese spy.
His sexual aggression with other women is what got him removed, but the FBI was there to find evidence that connects Swalwell to the CCP, not more evidence of his sexual deviancy.
Note they also leave out of the headline the airport confiscation, for it would create the proper context for this highly irregular action. They want it to seem banal, not rightly concerning.
- JULY
Trump threatens survival of American democracy with election rigging efforts – The Hill – The progressive state media’s constant mantra of democracy is a subliminal rewiring of the American mind from the checks and balances processes of republics to generic claims of having the will of the people.
Here, the Hill couples that rewiring strategy with a demonization of President Trump intended to incite more violence against the President.
The Hill is claiming the President’s questioning of mass mailer elections is tantamount to treason. This gives those inclined to rescue the democracy by any means all the justification they need to continue to use violence as a means of political persuasion.
How Republicans paved the way for white nationalists to invade DC – Daily Kos – The primary justification for reducing their political opponents to executable targets is the white devil myth.
Here we see one of the greatest purveyors of this terrorist-inspiring narrative, the Daily Kos, which is once again engaging in violence-inciting polemics. The readers of this headline will continue to feel emboldened to take violent, coercive action against anyone they perceive as supporting the white devil republicans.
H. ASSESSMENT
These are brief analyses of key aspects of each of our major summarized categories, U.S. Politics, Geopolitics, Culture and Sci-Tech. We start with our Bellwether of the Quarter.
- THE PROGRESSIVE STATE – The difference between the typical conservative and the progressive is becoming increasingly harder to ignore, especially when “the quiet parts out loud” parts are now just normal discourse for the most powerful Democrats.
Conservatives may have one foot in the “equality” part of progressivism, but they see themselves fundamentally as constitution-based Americans. As the non-political conservatives have now been profoundly affected by progressive state and corporate power, the “equality” part of their lives may soon be falling away.
“Equality” to the American means everyone gets an equal chance to demonstrate their individual excellence. “Equality” to the progressive means state and corporate power picking winners and losers based on preferred social class.
“Equality” to the progressive means discrimination, un-banking, un-personing, arrest and incarceration, and finally, and not excluding, execution.
Now, conservative “normies” are starting to understand the language games progressives play to guilt “well-meaning” Americans into signing up for anti-American policies, like “hate speech” laws and censorship.
- U.S. POLITICS – The progressives seem to be in go big go home mode this last quarter, allowing themselves to openly partner with a political organization that calls for the dismantling of the American republic.
This tells us they either believe they have the power to finally break the dependency on the American story for their legitimacy as government authority, or believe they are close to running out of time to fight back at all.
Wherever they have state power and media power, they appear willing to make themselves criminally at risk should American or conservative authority prevail. At present, they face executive power threats at the Federal level. Within their progressive-dominant states, they have a host of progressive judges to aid them in slowing down or cancelling any part of the Trump plan they can.
The President is attempting to root out of government all vestiges of progressive administrative power, but, fortunately for the progressives, he doesn’t recognize progressivism as the existential threat to America that it is, or else he doesn’t feel he has the power to act decisively on it.
Even the Executive Branch has plenty of progressive operatives within it, all willing to do anything necessary to stop what they mostly believe is the white devil’s attempt to recolonize and enslave the world. There are plenty of “brilliant” ruthless opportunists within that camp, existential larpers willing to use progressivism as a psychological bludgeon against competition.
For the sociopathic and psychotic, progressivism is an excellent vehicle of power when state and corporate power have your back. Our federal government is filled with such people, people who rose to power using the anti-white, anti-heteronormative ideology of progressivism.
These people understand language theory. They understand the power of language structures to coercively force public action. To lose state and corporate backing is to become a stench to the neighbors you destroyed.
If the corporate-state progressive alliance is broken, the millions of people who reported on their competition violations of the woke code, who openly called for and supported the un-personing of their own family members and friends, will suddenly find themselves confronted by all the enemies they’ve made these past ten years.
At the ground level, the language game advantage of the progressive is being broken. “Conservative” Americans who for decades hardly thought of, let alone talked about, politics, are now becoming experts in language theory. They have become inured to the power of “Equality,” for now they know the anti-white, anti-American assumptions and policies behind the progressive version of that word.
By necessity, they are learning the difference between American equality and Progressive equality, one leads to human flourishing, American equality, and one leads to genocidal rage and police states, Progressive equality.
This midterm election will not end the war, one way or another, but the results, one way or another, are sure to further make clear to Americans the difference between America’s equality and the Progressive State’s version.
- GEOPOLITICS – We are seeing more and more signs of nations willing to consider non-traditional alliances as AI realities of power become clearer. We have begun to see the emergence of countries attempting to carve out niches, like data center hub candidates.
We have only just begun to see the new AI resource finds that are sure to come as Rare Earth Minerals and other resources become even more highly desired.
The first round in the AI Wars may one day be considered the capture of Venezuela’s former dictator and Chinese ally, Nicholas Maduro, on “drug charges.” Just like that, Trump telegraphed to China that the geopolitical AI wars were on.
Shortly afterwards, Trump found reason to target China’s next great overseas hub of power, Iran. This hub of power was a flank against competing influencers for Afghan power. Iran offers China a Middle East beachhead, cheap oil, and a buffer zone between what it hopes will become its de facto province, Afghanistan, and U.S. and “Western” competition.
As we have documented, Afghanistan is AI-resource-rich, and as a province, China would get a sweetheart of a deal. While the U.S. might not need the resource as much as China, preventing China from accessing a cheap AI resource would go a long way to slow China’s AI development down.
The bottom line is a super AI brain needs excellent “programming,” excellent hardware, and MASSIVE, EFFICIENT data centers. Think of this as the start of World War Two for the U.S. when it had to convert factories to war factories and began the process of building a massive machine to win a multi-front global war.
The difference is EVERY country that can is in the same place as the U.S., so AI resources are ever increasingly becoming the main driver of geopolitical maneuvering.
Iran remains the most important bellwether in Geopolitics, but it is fed by and feeds many major news trends, including an ever-more-dangerous one, the battle between the Progressive-Islamist alliance and the Ethnic recent natives (the last thousand plus years) of Europe, including the UK.
Wherever Islamists are given government-supported aid to invade European countries, we find progressive authority behind it. They are importing destroyers of white power, not realizing they are importing something far worse than even the worst lie they tell about the “white devil” to their “children” when they go to sleep.
The war between the individual and the progressive state is worldwide. The war between the sovereign nation-state and the progressive state is worldwide.
- CULTURE – Across America, we see pockets of defiant resistance to the “woke” ideology, but not a recognition of what might be one of the most effective psychological weapons of “woke” ideology, the myth of “choice.”
There are two main vehicles of power that entice people to join the progressive fold, one is the white devil lie (and all the white-enabling groups the individual can now eliminate from competition with the flimsiest of accusations) and the other is the “choice” lie.
We have been highlighting the “white devil” narrative throughout this report, so here we will focus on the narrative that gave power to the white devil lie, the narrative that gave “good people” permission to accustom themselves to sub-humanizing humans.
This is where many “conservatives” are captured by progressive notions of “equality,” equating “choice” as a manifestation of “equality” because it gives the woman an “equal” right to non-consequential sex as the man has (excluding, of course, STDs, but even on that front “science” is reducing the consequences of that as well).
To get there, however, the conservative had to heuristically let go of the bedrock of the justification for American authority, a demonstrated restraint of power in recognition of the “endowed by their creator” human being.
The American human had “authority” of self-stewardship granted them by forces outside of creation itself. The government “of” the people had to be a government that recognized the self-stewardship “sovereignty” of the people themselves.
To avoid dismantling American Rule of Law directly, the justices in 1973 had to define a person as one who was born. Later, the person was elevated to “viable outside the womb.”
But heuristically, your body knows you are sub-humanizing the most innocent of human life. No matter the doctored language you want to invent, you have reduced a whole human being to a stage of life. This is not a scientific definition of a life.
This is a definition that attempts to preserve American Rule of Law by allowing the most innocent human of us all, the unborn, to be defined as un-human.
Like the definition of 3/5 of a man to preserve another evil, slavery, while preserving the new American Rule of Law, based on that same creator-ordained self-stewarding “sovereign,” the attempt to sterilize evil in legal doublespeak cannot conceal the spirit its truth unleashes.
America would not survive 100 years with that subterfuge within them, and the subterfuge of “whole life reduced to a stage in life” in American Rule of Law is doing to us now what 3/5 of a person did to us then. Conservatives, however, are mostly in support of preserving some form of government power to define human life as a stage, not the whole human.
We do our work not just to serve our subscribers, but to preserve for posterity that there were some willing to boldly proclaim the evil that befell our land either right before the end or right before the better second act.
We believe we are living at such times, and we urge our readers, and ourselves, to temper righteous anger with tender mercy, especially where contrition starts.
We also want to add that while we believe the “white devil” narrative is real and not hyperbolic, it does not justify ACTUALLY BECOMING a “white devil,” someone who assumes their skin color gives them special rights to treat non-whites as less than Americans.
While white nationalists are not a real threat to the American republic, at present, we do recognize they exist. Their ideology is as anti-American, anti-human, anti-Christ as the progressive, and it comes from the same font, the social-self vehicle of power.
This is where the ideal social is possible, and thus violence is justified in implementing it. On that front, there is no difference between the white nationalist and the progressive, or, for that matter, the Islamist.
These people are where the pattern of individualism without consequence ends, with the illusion of ONE SOCIAL that every member imagines is really only themselves. This is the self making non-selfness disappear. This is the self making consequence disappear, except for the non-selves.
- SCI-TECH – All around the world there are nation-states in power where their nation’s story that justifies both state power and unity is either destroyed or on life support. Even China is suffering from this crisis, as is the United States. It is in that chaos that two radically human-altering technologies, AI and Social Media, have come to loggerheads with both international power and sovereign state power.
The major corporations driving these technologies have a history of working agreeably with the state whenever the state puts the least bit of pressure on it (ESPECIALLY when progressives are in power).
Witness the instant caving of American principles by companies like Twitter and YouTube during the Biden administration, who both acquiesced to the new progressive rule of law.
Yet here these same corporations that have been making bank off international social media platforms now find themselves facing what might be an international extinction event, or near-extinction event.
This is being triggered by the needs of nation-states to control both social media revenue and social media power. In the AI Wars, exploitation will be deemed a necessary “sacrifice” for the state to make.
The less American our state becomes, the more exploitation will follow. Where the state has no constraint on its power, exploitation will proceed in the service of building an AI brain the progressive state feels confident will stay in its hands.
We are beginning to formulate a shadow of an outline of a possibility of the new moral fear narratives competing factions might adopt. These new narratives might mostly center around the use of AI, as well how much suffering citizens should accept in the name of supporting their nation-state’s AI brain build.
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION
Our mission here is to give our readers a sense of the reality of power specifically in the U.S., but also to a lesser degree the rest of the world. We analyze from a Christian Americanist perspective, though most of this analysis was primarily from an Americanist perspective.
One thing most of our readers have in common with one another is their Americanism, their wanting to preserve and/or restore life flourishing values of liberty for themselves, their children, and their children’s children.
We appeal to our readers, as we have for some time, to find Americans, steward your own sense of what “American” means, and network with one another to become more self-sustaining between yourselves. We continue that appeal.
We are not seeing as many independent small-scale AI and Social Media alternatives being built, or even talked about, as we’d like to see. While we see some AI technologies offering a promise of small-scale AI brain development, at present AI is a big state’s game.
The best we who are seeking self-stewardship living can do at present is to develop our own open-source AI agents on our own hardware. They still rely on a core (massive data centers, for instance) beyond our capacity to duplicate, but in the near future that reality may significantly change.
If you’re going to build your own AI agents, you will need to know how to govern them.
From our Tools of Engagement in our September Monthly issue: “For you, the rise of AI means two things, learning how to work without AI tools, or learning how to effectively use AI tools. For most, the latter is more realistic than the former.
For those in the latter group, we recommend you make it a regular habit to utilize multiple AI agents, including open-source AI agents. This will prevent you from becoming too attached or dependent on one AI “voice.” It will also get you overall better results, especially with research.
We utilize multiple AIs during our research process.
Here are resources to help you prepare for a world with AI without becoming AI’s tool:
- How to Use AI Without Becoming Dependent on It – Ogbonnaijeoma – Medium
- How to Use AI Without Becoming Stupid – Cedric Chin
- How to Get the Most Out of AI – Without Letting It Think for You – Tharin Pillay – Time
We also recommend registering to vote if you intend on only voting straight Republican. This is not a recognition of the Republican Party as an American Party, but rather as a hold while American Parties form (and we are still hoping they soon will).
We understand not voting for personal convictions, but no vote should be cast for the party of insurrection, the de factor progressive party, which is also the progressive state (for leftists, the party and the state are the same thing, this is also true, generally, of fascists).
We have these recommendations for President Trump; win in Iran, declare an insurrection, arrest the top progressive leaders (in ALL major institutions), and hold public, fair trials exposing their treason and collusion with foreign powers.
There are politicians, journalists, doctors, teachers, on that list, but these prosecutions should only target the top leaders in the targeted progressive institutions. If they become too broad, you become the monster you fight, and innocents will be caught up in the violent hysteria to come.
We also recommend he ends Palantir’s contract with the government and cease all efforts to digitize our lives in a central database.
Above all else, we recommend he declare a national emergency and shut down the public schools. Every teacher that taught children about white privilege, gender transitioning, and sexual exploration should be laid off and given a path back to teaching through re-certification.
The leaders of the school districts, the school boards, the civic governments, should face various levels of prosecution, with a very small percentage potentially facing capital offense charges (the ones who knew full well the psychological terrorism they were, and still are, inflicting).
Again, if your prosecutorial targets are too broad, especially the capital offense ones, you will create chaos, you will not restore confidence in American Rule of Law.
If you don’t offer paths to redemption to the vast majority of progressives, you will create a sectarian, block by block, civil war. As it is, there will be violence, but paths back to redemption will dramatically decrease that pressure.
We write this for history’s sake, not expecting the President to see this, let alone consider it.
PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS
We predict greater attention will be made to the Caspian Sea region over the next coming months as we witness AI geopolitical realities beginning to take form.
At home, we will wait until our October 30 issue to reveal our predictive analysis for the election and what might come whether Republicans or Democrats win.
We are at the death knells of the white devil narratives in America, and that will produce more violence from those who built their power from it. It is not dying so much because opinions will be changed but because the narratives don’t produce quality human managers of AI.
Some measure of merit-based culling must be restored, but white devil narratives call merit a dog whistle for white supremacism.
We are not quite sure what the new moral “angels and demons” stories will be, but we are beginning to catch a glimpse of them, though not one clear enough to share just yet.
Yet, in the death knells of a terrible story, we have reason to resist, speak plainly, frankly, bluntly in opposition to it, and sever associations, where possible, with institutions that continue to derive their power from it.
In the death knells of a terrible story, the fanaticism of the true believers will only increase, and when one party, the Democratic Party, still needs street fighters, that’s the ready-made pool to draw from, cultivate, and fund.
Rhetoric from progressive state media will only increase even as it cries “1st Amendment” while being fully in support of all the great censorship actions of the past ten years, from the “Replacement” Theory to Covid-19 to the 2020 Election.
The latest one is that “Mass Mailer Elections are perfectly safe, and only fascists and MAGA oppose it.”
This land continues to not recognize how empowering to the progressive spirit “life as a stage and not the whole” principle is. When this line is granted to the state and is given as a justification for a woman’s right to “choose,” it creates the underlying condition to accept the next premise.
The first premise is that unborn life can be sub-humanized. The second premise is the white race can be sub-humanized as well. Only then is American liberty a threat to your life and not the necessary condition for human flourishing.
As the spirit of the nation goes with abortion, we believe, so too will it go for America. If we accept “choice” as an “American” value, we must build our republic on a new foundation, for the old one is dead, for surely an unborn child is as endowed by our creator as we are.
If the most vulnerable is not protected from the powerful, none of us are, and this is really the era of “might makes right,” for that is the only true value a nation without a sacred individual can truly hold.
This is what the principle of “endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights” creates for the peaceful weak. This is what protects everyone, weak or strong, from the violently persuasive. The aborted child is a symbol of the death of the American republic.
What we should look for as signs that a new, more fulfilled republic, could be in our future are for more and more people discovering their Americanism, then American clubs will start to form, not coopted by fascists and other non-Americans.
We should see a country coming to grips with the reality of child sacrifice, an offering of forgiveness for the women and men who participated in “legal” abortions, and a crying out to end the practice.
As the bill comes due for many women who chose casual sex and career over family, the cost of “casual sex” is becoming increasingly not-so-casual. It might even be apocalyptic in that it leads the human race to expire through lack of reproduction.
As more people notice these outcomes, perhaps we will be shaken from our 50-year-plus built-up tolerance to unborn child murder.

GLOBAL OUTLOOK
- SCOTUS ENABLES MASS MAILER VOTER FRAUD – The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that a lower court ruling suspending President Trump’s XO attempting to make Mass mailer voting more accountable will stand, at least until AFTER the 2026 election. The ruling effectively enables Democrats to slow-walk close races in their favor using reserve “ballots” “registered” to the dead and non-citizens still on their uncleansed voter rolls.
- THUNE LETS SAVE ACT DIE – The SAVE Act, aka the SAVE America Act, came closer to not being passed before the summer recess thanks to Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD). The last attempt failed to pass by a vote of 48-50.
It now appears increasingly likely that mass mailer elections will continue at least until 2026, giving Democrats a decided advantage. For the progressive state press, this defeat of Voter ID legislation was celebrated. ED. NOTE: That assumption is now certain, that the mass mailer election will take place with little to no safeguards in place to give Americans confidence in the midterm elections.
- TRUMP IDENTIFIES FOREIGN VULNERABILITIES TO U.S. ELECTIONS – President Donald Trump delivered a Prime Time Speech that failed to deliver rumored smoking guns, but hinted at ones to come. In addition to calling for a DOJ investigation of alleged voter fraud in Michigan in 2020, the President also identified vulnerabilities in the election system that puts it at risk of foreign influence, including from China. He also claims China affected the 2020 election. China has already denied the claims.
The speech’s main moment came with Trump’s claim that a set of documents “proves that for many years, Americans were blatantly lied to about the security of our election infrastructure, including electronic voting machines and ballot counting systems. They’re vulnerable, and they’re easily compromised, and people within our government knew that.”
- TRUMP, AI TECH LEADERS PROMISE TO BE RESPONSIBLE – President Trump held an AI summit at the White House where he and tech leaders from Elon Musk to Mark Zuckerberg agreed to self-govern their roll-out of AI.
The President has held that holding back AI will allow China to dominate us, and that includes militarily. The move appears intended to ward off any legislative efforts to limit AI. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-AR) appeared to cosign the agreement, claiming “The super intelligence providers are committed to building trust as they help us build the future.”
- BIDEN’S FBI KILLED INVESTIGATIONS INTO FAMILY CORRUPTION – The FBI under President Biden ran a covert operation designed to neutralize any effort to investigate allegations of corruption by the Biden family. The operation was called “Rounded River.” The Trump White House Transparency Task Force released their findings this past month.
- PROGRESSIVES RAN GLOBAL POLICY ILLEGALLY DURING TRUMP’S FIRST TERM – Catherine Herridge has been covering the efforts by progressives in the Trump administration who appear to have committed acts of treason by knowingly omitting and altering intelligence reports on China to protect China from Trump’s scrutiny.
Herridge claimed, “They had to save President Trump from his own instincts, from his own tendencies, and that there was very much a globalist view. And they had to preserve a globalist view. So, whether it was downplaying or suppressing intelligence about the threat from China, whether it was giving a pass and calling the Hunter Biden laptop Russian disinformation, there was this level of a bureaucracy, a kind of conspiracy that was making decisions about the kind of information that should be reaching policy makers and ultimately the commander-in-chief.”
- AMERICA LEAVES IRAQ – The last of any U.S. military overt presence in Iraq left the country this week, leaving Iran’s proxy militias an opportunity to gain influence. In addition to fears of Iran’s rise in influence, ISIS continues to remain present, capable of making another run at a caliphate.
- IRAN’S ENDURING DEFIANCE LEAVES TRUMP QUESTIONING WHAT TO DO NEXT – President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social a problem he is considering, “Do I Want to Go In and Annihilate Them or Do I Not?”
Internally, there are increasing reports of uprisings, and government “officials” abandoning their positions, but so far, no massive uprising has taken place. With congress recently passing a resolution aimed at stopping the Iran war, the President might have a limited window to operate in, one that needs to end with a pro-American government. ED. NOTE: See more on the Iran War in our Situation Report starting on pg. 2.
- SCOTUS GIVES DEMS MISSOURI GERRYMANDERING WIN – The Supreme Court of the United States shut down the 2025 map for the Missouri midterm election, reinstating the 2022 map that preserves the Democrat-favored U.S. House District.
The unsigned order simply declared “At this late date, ordering reversion to the 2025 map in the midst of an ongoing election would usher in electoral chaos.” It should be noted that the primaries were based on the 2025 election map, giving doubt to SCOTUS’ ‘chaos’ claim as the basis for their ruling. A lower court ruling that gave the GOP the 2025 election map was struck down by SCOTUS by a 6-3 decision, cementing the Dems’ preservation of a presumed safe Democrat seat.
- TEAM BIDEN APPROVED GOP PHONE SPYING – A report from the U.S. House Judiciary Committee reveals a high-ranking member of the Biden DOJ knew in advance of Jack Smith’s unconstitutional spying on members of congress. The report claims, “beginning in May 2022, prosecutors under the leadership of U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves issued several subpoenas demanding telephone toll records for Members of Congress to identify individuals with whom they spoke around major votes in Congress . . .”
- HAWAII INVALIDATES AMERICA’S SCOTUS – The Hawaiian Supreme Court has issued a recent ruling that spent tens of pages excoriating the Supreme Court of the United States. The majority held the Supreme Court was no longer valid because it overturned Roe, the 1973 ruling that decriminalized murdering unborn children.
The majority also held that due to the white supremacist nature of SCOTUS, Hawaii is no longer bound by its rulings. There have been no arrested issued by the Department of Justice.
- CCP RUNNING OUTREACH PROGRAMS IN 83 U.S. COLLEGES – The Chinese Communist Party has been allowed to set up propaganda outreach programs in 83 U.S. Colleges according to a report by Defending Education.
The report claims the program is called “The Young Envoys Scholarship,” which sends 50,000 U.S. students to study or visit China. The program is “run by the China Education Association for International Exchange, an organization guided by ‘Marxism-Leninism’ and Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism.”
- XI’S PURGES CONTINUE – Another heavyweight CCP member found himself purged from power by Chairman Xi. Former Politburo member Ma Xingrui was the latest high-profile leader removed under Xi’s anti-corruption operation. The move shows Xi has still not consolidated power after last year’s attempted coup from within.
- 14. EU’S AI ACT KICKS IN – The EU’s new AI Act has taken effect, which includes key provisions empowering the EU to regulate AI models and apply fines to companies that fall out of compliance. The law also gives the EU investigatory powers to penalize non-cooperating companies and individuals.
The Act itself presents a challenge to AI geopolitical realities of power as nations and associations like the EU attempt to use domestic laws to affect foreign AI powers. For instance, the fines countries give to foreign companies due to non-compliance with their AI rules could become weapons of war in the AI geopolitical reality of power.
- IN SHADOW OF POLITICAL MURDER OF FORMER MP, BURNHAM TAKES THE UK HELM – On Monday, July 20, 2026, Andy Burnham inherited the UK as its new Prime Minister. He was appointed by the Labour Party through unanimous consent after winning a special MP election in Makerfield.
He inherits a divided Kingdom, having just witnessed a political murder of a former MP, Anne Widdecombe, in her home. Widdecombe is reported to have been beaten to death by a progressive activist. He drove three hours to her home to do it. He used a poled object to kill her.
- HALF A MILLION DEAD RUSSIANS FOR A SCRATCH OF EARTH – A British military intelligence report is alleging Russia has lost half a million Russian soldiers in the war since 2023. During that same time, Russia has only gained 2% more ground than it had before.
Air Chief Marshal Sir Rich Knighton, chief of the UK armed forces, commented, “I think these numbers illustrate clearly the senseless and futile waste of human life for such little progress, and against such an illegitimate aim of President Putin.”
- META SECURES A $16.7 BILLION CHILD ADDICTION SETTLEMENT – A Federal lawsuit against social media giant Meta has been settled. Meta has agreed to pay $16.7 billion in an agreement with multiple states Attorney Generals. California is one of the states, but Texas and other large states are not. The lawsuit charged Meta with facilitating childhood social media addiction.
California State AG Rob Bonta said of the settlement, “Today, we have secured a settlement with Meta that will make social media less dangerous for our kids and make a world of a difference for children and their families,” Bonta said in a statement. “Meta has agreed to make massive transformations that will reduce the risk of harm from its platforms — and will do it within months.”
- SCOTUS RESTORES SOME VOTER ID PLUMBLINING FOR TRUMP – By a vote of 6-3, SCOTUS empowered President Trump’s administration to resume using Social Security records to confirm only citizens are voting in the election. The three progressive state judges voted against the decision. The ruling removes a lower court injunction against the administration.
- NOTE: Be sure to read our special October 30 MIA Monthly issue where we will give you a detailed report on the midterm elections, including a predictive analysis.
- SISTER TAKES PLACE OF FALLEN LINDSEY GRAHAM – Not long after Lindsey Graham had spoken to President Trump, he had a sudden medical emergency he would not recover from. It was later learned he had a heart attack due to a ruptured aorta. His sister, Darline Graham, was appointed by the Republican South Carolina Governor to finish his term.
She said of her acceptance of the appointment. “It is such a privilege to get to finish some of his important work, and I promise to work hard over the next several months to support the president and carry forward the efforts of my brother on behalf of the citizens of South Carolina and the United States.” She added she was sure he would have wanted her to finish his term.
NOTE: Graham has also won her primary, meaning she will be running for election in the 2026 Midterm election.
21, PROGRESSIVE STATE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS FORMED CONFIDENTIAL GROUP TO PLOT JUDGEFARE ASSAULT ON TRUMP PRESIDENCY – Democrat State Attorneys from across the country were coordinating their efforts to plot legal entanglements for President Trump before the 2024 election, while Biden was still running against Trump.
The group was called “Privileged & Confidential Common Interest Agreement.” It was a secret society of progressive DAs who wanted to go outside the bounds of government accountability record-keeping to plot their intentions to sabotage the Trump Presidency. What hasn’t been revealed is whether progressive judges were in that group. All signs point to “yes.”
- WALZ PARDONS CHILD RAPIST – In what appears to be a move to save an illegal alien from deportation, Tim Walz pardoned an illegal alien convicted of raping a child. He was joined on a three-member panel by Democrats Keith Ellison and Natalie Hudson. Ellison is Minnesota’s Attorney General. Hudson is the state’s Chief Justice.
DHS spokeswoman Lauren Bis responded to the decision, claiming “Tou Lue Vang lost his legal status following his conviction for repeatedly sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl.” Marco Rubio has intervened and the illegal immigrant has been deported.
- PROTESTS GROW IN UKRAINE OVER ZELENSKY’S MILITARY FIRINGS – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has chosen Major General Ihor Skybyuk to become the new chief of the General Staff of the Armed Force. The move follows numerous shake-ups in military leadership that are leading to street protests from Ukrainians.
Zelensky said of the appointment, “We determined the order of further steps. Today, decisions regarding the replacement of the leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be formalized — the relevant decrees are being prepared. Together with Mykhailo Drapatyi and Yevhenii Khmara, we determined that the new chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be Major General Ihor Skybyuk — a very experienced military officer, with whom the new commander-in-chief defended Ukraine side by side.”
- MAMDANI RELEASES EVIL CAPITALIST “PROSCRIPTION” LIST – The Marxist-Islamist Mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, has just released what appears to be a de facto proscription list for his foreign-paid street fighters to target. He released a list of property owners, including their names and addresses, who own another home outside the city.
While the information is public, the signal is clear; Attack these people. Mamdani ally and national Democrat Socialists of America co-chair Megan Romer made that clear when she said on Fox News “We will win by making conditions so intolerable to the ruling class that they would rather give in to our demands than live with the disturbance we cause.” Disturbance is a dog whistle for violence. Ruling Class is a dog whistle for white people.
- 30-YEAR TREASURY BOND YIELD SPIKES – The 30-Year Treasury Bond Yield hit 5.501%, which was a high not reached since June of 2007. The spike came after U.S. economic data showed a stronger than expected economy, raising concerns there would be more Fed rate increases to combat inflationary pressures. High oil prices have also contributed to the spike. The rate is a benchmark for long-term interest rates and long-term borrowing.
- TRUMP REDEPLOYS TARIFF GEOPOLITICS – President Donald Trump appears prepared to utilize tariffs as a geopolitical tool once again. He announced a 50% tariff on Canada that came without warning. He followed up this announcement with more tariffs targeting multiple nations he accuses of practicing “forced labor.” This could indicate the administration believes it has a legal path to apply tariffs that don’t conflict with SCOTUS’ recent ruling on tariffs.
- CANADA-US TRADE WAR IS ON – After President Trump announced new tariffs targeting Canada, Mark Carney’s administration has responded by meeting Trump’s tariffs with similar ones of his own. U.S. progressive state media has reported on the trade war decidedly from a pro-Canadian perspective.
During the trade war, Alberta continues to go forward with a referendum to secede from Canada. Canada’s progressive state press have now taken to refuse to refer to 9/11 as a terrorist act, telegraphing open hostility to America.
- CLANCY DEFENSE WANTED TO USE LAWFARE TO PERSECUTE LONE HOLD-OUT – The lone-hold-out in the Lindsay Clancy child murder trial faced a lawfare campaign by the Clancy Defense team. Clancy Attorney Keving Reddington was hoping Judge William Sullivan would examine the juror’s private data to determine if he did something inappropriate.
The judge denied the unusual filing This is the same attorney who led a campaign against the holdout juror while deliberations were still going on.
- APOCALYPTIC FLASH FLOOD DEVASTATES TIBET AND NEPAL – Major flash floods from a glacial collapse devastated parts of Tibet and Nepal, with Nepal being the hardest hit. The flash floods removed whole villages, hitting them with 30-plus-foot high walls. The alleged current death toll stands at over 1,000, with nearly 4,000 still reported missing as of the end of September 2026.
The true death toll may be much higher. There were scores of foreigners among the dead, including 60-plus Americans. They were there to make Hindu pilgrimages.
- DEMOCRATS PROMISE TRUMP IMPEACHMENTS, INVESTIGATIONS WITH 2026 WIN – The Democrats made it clear to the American voter that a midterm win for them will be constant “investigations” of Trump and his allies for us. The Democrats are threatening Cabinet officials, Trump family members, and Trump himself with numerous “criminal” investigations. This is in addition to the impeachment they promise to deliver should they win in the midterms.
- ONE IN THREE DEMOCRATS ADMIT TO WANTING TO KILL TRUMP – Nearly one third of Democrats responded yes to a poll question asking them if they’d support President Trump being assassinated to remove him from office. 23% said they’d feel very positive if the President were assassinated, while 8% said they would be somewhat positive. 25% most likely hid their true views, claiming they had no opinion one way or another.
A person who feels neither one way nor another about a political assassination is de facto admitting they approve of violence as a means of political persuasion. No person who disapproves of political violence would respond with no opinion. This poll most likely shows most Democrats (59%) support murder as a means of political persuasion, murder that would not stop with the President.
HEADLINES MISSED
- DHS FINDS CHINESE PARTS IN U.S. VOTING MACHINES – Due to a breach in security, the Department of Homeland Security has let states know it will be conducting spot paper ballot audits of U.S. voting machines this November.
The announcement comes following news Chinese parts have shown up in U.S. voting machines, giving the Chinese government potential opportunity to manipulate election results. This is a follow-up on the announcement President Trump made in July about Chinese interference in U.S. elections.
- AI IS GOING INTO TRILLION DOLLAR DEBT – A surge in hidden debt among AI giants like Oracle and Meta is setting off alarms in the industry. The hidden debt comes from future payment liabilities for operations not yet online to make money. For instance, leases and property taxes must be paid on sites that are earmarked for databases that haven’t been built or completely built yet. The hidden debt amounts to more than $1.65 trillion.
- EU WANTS AI TO ENFORCE ITS WOKE CENSORSHIP LAWS – The EU is ordering AI agents like ChatGPT to enforce its recently enacted (and now in-effect) Online Censorship laws. These laws protect favored classes like Muslims, homosexuals, and people of color from “offensive” language. They also penalize positive expressions of unfavored classes like Christians, heterosexuals, and whites.
- PAYING FOR TRUMP’S TRUTH? – President Trump’s Truth Social announced plans to offer corporations the opportunity to see the most influential Truth Social posters’ posts a few seconds before everyone else does. The offer is for institutional clients, specifically banks, hedge funds, and high-frequency traders, only. You pay for a few seconds of insider trading.
The ethicality of the decision is being questioned across the political sphere, as is the legality. The question is this: Is this not simply selling Presidential influence? The product is Presidential power to move markets, not Trump’s wisdom. The interim CEO, Kevin McGurn, said, “Markets are already reacting to Truth Social posts. The Truth API will provide direct, licensed access to the platform’s most market-moving content, while allowing us to monetize our own assets.”
- FRANCE UNDER IMMIGRANT ASSAULT – Multiple riots have broken out across France, triggered by immigrants demanding more resources for the schools they don’t pay for. The Islamist immigrants have taken to the streets to burn churches, people, and businesses, as well as assault French women who are caught in the mob rush. French progressives, aligned with Islamists, are assisting the insurrection. The Islamists are also demanding all calls to deport them be cancelled, or the beatings will continue.
- 6. CHINA OFICIALLY BECOMES AN ETHNO-NATIONALIST STATE – China’s Ethnic Unity Law took effect July 1, 2026. The law appears to attempt to advance Han ethnic supremacism both within China and globally. Global concerns about the law’s effects on ethnic minorities within China were met by claims from CCP officials that the law was meant to “protect them.”
- CANADIANS LEARN FROM CHINESE MEDIA THEIR GOVERNMENT IS COOPERATING MILITARILY WITH THE CCP – Canada is playing a dangerous game, first with its pushback on the Trump tariffs, and now with its cozying up to America’s greatest threat, China. Canadians learned from a Chinese news report that their Prime Minister, Mark Carney, had been secretly negotiating with the CCP to develop a plan for military cooperation between the two countries. The move makes Canada a threat to U.S. security.
- CHINA BUILDING AI ROBOT ARMY – China is working on developing an AI-run robot army equipped with humanoid “soldiers” with AI brains. Reuters is claiming that an investigation of their procurement records reveals the army is already being built. They claimed they reviewed “more than 100 Chinese military procurement notices, academic studies, patents, official publications, government records and defense-company materials.” This led them to conclude China is building an AI robot army.
- MUSLIM CONGRESSMEMBERS VOTE FOR AMERICA TO PAY THEM 9/11 REPARATIONS – Because of the “Islamophobia” that followed from the 9/11 attacks, Muslim U.S. congress members voted on a resolution demanding reparations from Americans. They reckon the pain of hearing disfavor about their religion was more painful to them than the pain their religion caused on Americans by murdering thousands of our brothers and sisters.
- CHINESE BILLIONAIRE IS MAKING FUTURE CCP AMERICANS THANKS TO SCOTUS – Thanks to the Supreme Court’s refusal to defend American sovereignty from foreign invaders, a recluse Chinese billionaire has hundreds of “American” children. Xu Bo is alleged to have been using surrogates to bring to term his embryos on American soil so that his children will be born as American citizens.
Our enemies have children birthed on American soil; these children are then taken to their home country, trained in their home country’s ways, and sent back as “legal” invaders, scouts, saboteurs of the country they have no business being citizens of. After SCOTUS’ ruling that upheld birthright citizenship covers anyone born in America, our enemies have increased their efforts to create future “legal” invaders of America.
- SOUTH KOREANS GO NORTH WITH FAKE NEWS LAW – South Korea has passed a new law that penalizes journalists for sharing “fake news.” The Journalists Association of Korea said of the law, “Even if a law’s objective is legitimate, it could erode the foundations of democracy if it’s enforced in a way that discourages the media and ordinary citizens from freely criticizing and scrutinizing those in power.”
This is yet another lurch towards policies more in keeping with North Korea than what South Korea has been after the Korean War.
- AI IS NOW CREATING NEW VIRUSES – Researchers at Stanford University were using AI to study pathogens of existing viruses. In the process, they trained AI perhaps too well, for now AI can design viruses. The researchers claim the AI was only intended to be used as “virus surveillance,” but somehow, they went beyond that point. The AI designed 16 new viruses.
- CCP HACKERS BREAK INTO MAJOR U.S. GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS – The Department of Justice announced the disruption of a Chinese Communist Party hacking operation that had successfully accessed government networks. Some institutions breached include the Senate, the DOJ, NASA, and the Federal Reserve.
FBI Director Kash Patel announced, “Today we announced the disruption of a global botnet and hacking platform used by Chinese state-sponsored hackers to target U.S. critical infrastructure. These tools were used by PRC cyber actors to hide the origin of their attacks… Today’s action is just the latest technical operation against PRC-sponsored hacking – and in support of President Trump’s Cyber Strategy for America, the FBI is surging efforts to shape adversary behavior and defend the homeland in cyberspace.”
- PRO ABORTION STATES FALL BELOW REPLACEMENT RATES – The states that allow abortion are falling below replacement rates for their populations. The 10 states that allow abortion up to birth are doing the worse, with Vermont being the worst of the worst. They have a total fertility rate of 1.27. The TFR needs to be above 2 to meet replacement requirements.
- GERMAN POLITICIAN FACES JAIL TIME FOR CHALLENGING “MAP” ACTIVIST – A German politician who challenged a pro-pedophile activist on social media could face two years in prison for committing a hate speech crime. Vanessa Behrendt was challenging an openly “minor attracted person” for advocating adult-child sex on social media. The pedophile reported her comments to German authorities, who opened a “hate speech” investigation against the one challenging public advocacy of child sex.
- U.S. PROPS YEN WITH EUROS – The Department of Treasury used its Exchange Stabilization Fund to buy Japanese Yen in the hopes of propping up the dangerously weak currency. This hasn’t happened in 30 years. The U.S. is not using U.S. dollars; it is using Euros.
This action follows a recent previous Treasury intervention to help a weakening Argentinian currency. That deal resulted in the loan being paid back in full (at profit). These interventions signal a shift in Treasury policy from two plus decades of international currency passivity to aggressive interventionism.
- ANTHROPIC SAVES THE WORLD AGAIN AND AGAIN – Anthropic is claiming it has prevented multiple attempts by bad actors to use Claude AI to execute terrorist actions. The attempts included kamikaze drone swarms and biological weapons.
They posted on their X account, “We’re publishing our most detailed threat intelligence report to date. It covers how people tried to misuse Claude—for cyberattacks, influence operations, surveillance, biology, and building weapons—and how we found and stopped them. We disrupted every operation in the report…”
- FORMER U.S. CABINET MEMBER SERVED CCP WHILE IN OFFICE – Elaine Chao, a former Bush and Trump-era Cabinet official, is alleged to have been working for a CCP-controlled agency while also serving in the U.S. government. The organization she worked for was the United Front Work Department (UFWD).
A Congressional Select Committee memo claims “United front work damages U.S. interests through legal and illegal technology transfer, surveillance of Chinese diaspora communities, promotion of favorable narratives about the PRC through ostensibly independent voices, and the neutralization or harassment of critics of the CCP.”
- CANADA’S NEW HATE SPEECH LAW IS ALREADY TRIGGERING POLICE VISITS – The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms is reporting numerous Canadians have already been contacted by police about their social media posts in response to the new “Combatting Hate Act” becoming law. Currently, the UK is number one in social media arrests worldwide, which is worth noting because Canada’s anti-speech laws are similar to the UK’s anti-speech laws.
- FCC LIFTS LIMITS ON LOCAL TV STATION OWNERSHIP – The Federal Trade Commission voted 2-1 to lift FCC restrictions on local tv station ownership. The ruling will allow companies to own local stations that cover more than 39% of the U.S. They can now also own more than one tv station in a local market.
- PROGRESSIVES KILL COLLEGE INTELLECTUAL FREEDOM PROJECT – The Iowa Legislature created the Center for Intellectual Freedom at the University of Iowa. It has an advisory board overseeing the launch of the Center. Now, nearly half of the advisory council has resigned, claiming the terms the university was setting would kill the legislative intent of the Center.
One member, Richard Lowery, wrote, “The legislature created the center in 2025 to teach and research the ideas behind the American constitutional order and to promote free speech, civil discourse, and intellectual diversity on campus — and on the terms the regents have now set, it cannot do what the law created it to do.”
- SCIENTISTS CALL FOR A 50% REDUCTION OF HUMANITY – A group of scientists released a public statement calling for humans to reduce their numbers by 4 billion by the year 2200.
They wrote, “We show that slowing and gradually reversing population growth to ∼4 billion or less by 2200, while moderating per capita impacts, is the path toward sustainability. Global environmental problems are caused by people, nothing else. The more of us there are, the greater our overall economic demands and the greater the associated environmental problems.”
- THAILAND UNDER ISLAMIST ATTACK IN THE SOUTH – Thailand’s Prime Minister held an emergency meeting after a coordinated series of attacks by Islamist terrorists in the nation’s southern-most province. The attacks come at a time when Thailand is still dealing with a major flood crisis in the north. There were 51 reported attacks that included bombings, arson, and property damage. No security or police forces were targeted. The attacks appear to be aimed at damaging infrastructure and causing disruption.
- VIOLENCE TO STOP FREE SPEECH IS BECOMING A COLLEGE VALUE – Foundation For Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) released a poll that revealed 30% of surveyed college students approve of violence to stop free speech rarely, which is down from last year’s high of 34%. However, of that group, half (or 15% total) said yes to violence to stop fee speech “sometimes,” not just rarely; 3% chose “always.”
- NEW YORK SELLS SUICIDES – On the day Progressive New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced plans to pass euthanasia legislation, a company named Quietus began selling suicide. The company offered this $12,00 deal to New Yorkers through the progressive state press: “Imagine that instead of taking medication to fend off death from a terminal illness, a person could pay to take a concoction that will end their life in minutes — giving them full control of when and where they die.
“… Before their scheduled death, patients get two medical evaluations and a mental health screening, as well as a prescription for the drugs needed, including lethal doses of cardiac medication, that will end their life. The $12,000 cost for the patient covers all of this and help for the grieving family after their passing.”
- CANADA FINES DOCTOR FOR NOT TRANSITIONING CHILD – Canada’s British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal has given a Christian doctor a $28,000 fine. The reason for the fine is because the doctor has refused to prescribe puberty blocker medicine to a teenager. The Doctor had clearly informed the patient and her mother, which he documented in his records.
He wrote “I noticed that the injection is for gender re-assignment as patient is already in the waiting room with (her) mother. I called mother into the room and explained to her that I would not be able to give the injection. Based on my religious belief and cultural background.”
- POPE PROMOTES PRO-LGBTQ PRIEST TO BISHOP – In another sign of the erosion of the Catholic church’s leadership, Pope Leo XIV has promoted a pro-LGBTQ, anti-church priest to Bishop. Father Mario Leon Dorado has been outspoken in his support to “bless” “irregular” couples (meaning homosexuals), as well as calling on the church to fade away the way John the Baptist did when Christ was baptized.
He declared in 2022, “There is the ecclesiological challenge: the Church as a sacrament at the service of the Kingdom of God. The Church is called to disappear so that the Kingdom may grow, in analogy with the experience of John the Baptist…. The experience of John the Baptist is the experience of the Church.”
- UK MIGHT BE OVER? – Leaders of Scotland, Wales, and Ireland are calling for a breakup of the UK. The leaders of these three nations are hoping to jettison London in favor of the EU. Scottish First Minister John Swinney, Welsh First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth and Northern Ireland First Minister Michelle O’Neill all signed a declaration that claimed, “Westminster is coming to an end.”
- SCIENTISTS SHOW HUMAN SPERM COULD BE GROWN IN A LAB – The growing human male infertility rate could be offset by growing human sperm in a laboratory’s mini-testes. A group of scientists published a report in the peer-reviewed journal “Cell Stem Cell” claiming to show they are close to growing human sperm in a lab. Researchers are hoping to convert stem cells to sperm cells by exposing them to chemical signals that will do the transforming.
From the report, “… the researchers combined the human or monkey germ cells with supportive cells from mouse fetuses. Together, these cells self-organized into a three-dimensional structure called a xenogeneic reconstituted testis… What grew in this setup closely resembled both the appearance and gene activity patterns of real human germ cells during the early stages of sperm development.”
- SURROGATE SUED BY GAY COUPLE FOR KEEPING BABY – An unborn child with a cleft lip faced abortion in Canada if a gay couple had their way. The child was living in the womb of a surrogate mother, who refused to abort the child despite the gay couple’s demands. The lawsuit was filed in Ontario, Canada’s Superior Court. The woman gave birth to the child; now the gay couple is seeking monetary compensation after failing to compel her to murder the unborn child.
The gay couple wrote the surrogate mother, “Considering that medical tests indicate that the fetus has, or is likely to have, a genetic, chromosomal or other abnormality or defect, and in accordance with article 8.5 (a) of our surrogacy agreement … we want to inform you of our wish that the pregnancy be terminated. Although very difficult, this decision is free and informed.” The child was born healthy.
PEOPLE ADVANCE
- TRUMP SECURES GREENLAND – President Trump announced he has secured a deal with the Netherlands that effectively gives the U.S. security oversight on the island. The deal assures no enemy of the United States can gain a foothold on Greenland soil.
- TRUMP NO-SIGNS DIGITAL DOLLAR BAN – Thanks to President Donald Trump’s non-signature, America is under a state digital dollar ban at least until 2030. The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act was allowed to become law simply through the President’s non-signing. Within that law is a provision that prohibits the U.S. from developing a U.S. digital dollar at least until 2030.
- ISLAMIST IMMIGRATION DOWN 96% SINCE 2024 – The number of immigrants coming from Islamist nations has plummeted under President Donald Trump’s watch. Immigration from Islamist nations has dropped 96% since the President took office.
- GERMANY’S PRO-GERMAN PARTY WINS STATE ELECTION – The only pro-German political party in Germany, the AfD, won 44% of the vote in a Saxony-Anhalt state election. The party fell just short of a majority for the state government, having captured 39 of the 83 seats in the State assembly. They fell just three seats short of a majority. The response from the “Planvasion of Germany” parties was to call for the AfD to be banned.
- TRUMP DOUBLES U.S. OIL RESERVE WITH ONE DEAL – President Trump has announced an historic deal with Venezuela that secures 65 million barrels of Venezuela’s oil reserves, which more than doubles the U.S. oil reserves.
The President posted on Truth Social, “The United States of America has just entered into an Agreement with the Country of Venezuela on, THE BIGGEST OIL DEAL IN WORLD HISTORY!… This Historic Transaction MORE THAN DOUBLES American Oil Reserves, greatly increases our Oil Supply, and will substantially lower Gas Prices for all Americans, long into the future, while helping to continue to set Venezuela on a course toward Tremendous Success and Great Prosperity”
- EUTHANASIA FAILS AGAIN IN BRITIAN – Another attempt to legalize euthanasia in Britian has failed after a 286 to 270 vote defeated the latest bill. The legislation began the practice of euthanasia the same as many other laws, targeting only those with minimal diagnosed time to live. Later, the expansions of the eligible comes.
- FRAUD EXPOSED IN OBAMACARE LEADS TO THOUSANDS OF CANCELLATIONS – Vice President JD Vance announced 750,000 fraudulent Obamacare accounts have been removed from the rolls, saving taxpayers $2.2 billion yearly. “We’re actually making sure that the people receiving Obamacare subsidies are actually entitled to receive them,” Vance declared.
The progressive state press has left out the fraudulent claim behind those 750,000 being removed from the rolls. Instead, they simply call the removal of fraudulent accounts “healthcare cuts,” implying qualified American citizens are being removed from the rolls. This false narrative is EXACTLY the same one as the Democratic Party.
- 110,000 LESS FOREIGN STUDENTS EXPECTED NEXT COLLEGE SEMESTER – Thanks to several factors, including new VISA restrictions, the amount of foreign college students attending U.S. schools will be 110,000 less than last year. Colleges will have to rely more on Americans to sell enrollment than foreigners, which might incentivize them to drop their anti-American ideologies.
The progressive state press has portrayed this as a deprivation for American universities. The counter to that claim is that universities primarily serving foreign interests are NOT American ones, regardless of their physical location. This is the exact narrative the Democratic Party advances.
- JUDGE KILLS DELAWARE’S “GHOST GUN” BAN – U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika struck down Delaware’s ghost-gun ban, which effectively bans the constitutional rights of Americans to make their own guns.
The judge ruled, “… An untraceable firearm is an Arm under the Second Amendment. It is, after all, a firearm, and even under the narrowest reading of ‘Arms,’ ‘all firearms constitute [] ‘arms,’ whether serialized or not. Moreover, the evidence here shows that untraceable firearms are customarily used for offensive or defensive purposes such as self-defense…”
- LE PEN STILL CONVICTED, BUT CAN RUN IN 2027 – Marine Le Pen, the leader of France’s National Rally Party, had her embezzlement conviction upheld. However, her eligibility to run for public office has been reduced in time for her to run in the expected 2027 election.
Her party currently leads in the polls. Le Pen must face house arrest, an ankle monitor, and curfews, to run for Prime Minister. She had previously claimed she would not run under those conditions. Now, it appears she has changed her mind. Since the announcement, her party has increased their lead in the polls.
- FEDERAL COURT UPHOLDS INDIANA’S LAW OUTLAWING TRANSGENDER SURGERY FOR KIDS – U.S. District Judge James Patrick Hanlon upheld Indiana’s law prohibiting transgender surgeries on children. Indiana’s Attorney General declared, “We have won this critical fight against radicals who would otherwise impose this horrific practice on our kids for ideological and financial reasons. My office will keep standing between our children and those who would sacrifice their health, innocence, and well-being on the altar of woke gender ideology.”
- ISLAMIST PLANE ATTACK FOILED BY BRAVE ISRAELIS – An Islamist attempted to hijack a plane and crash it into an Israeli airport, hoping to kill as many Jews as he could. He was the co-pilot of a FlyDubai flight. He stabbed his co-pilot multiple times but was detained by Israeli passengers while the plane was still in a nose-dive.
The media reported this as a dispute between the two pilots, protecting the “Islam is the religion of peace” narrative. It has since come out that he was, indeed, an Islamist engaged in an act of terror against Israel and Jews in general.
- TRUMP PLAN LEADS TO HISTORIC RX PRICE DROP – President Donald Trump’s efforts to bring down the cost of prescription drugs have led to an historic drop in drugs that hasn’t been seen in over 60 years. The cost of prescription drugs dropped 3.1% in 12 months, starting from this past July.
White House Spokesman Kush Desai stated, “No president in modern history has been able to drastically reduce prescription drug prices across the board except for President Trump. This is a direct result of the President’s willingness to push the envelope with bold policies that actually put Americans and America First.”
- SCIENTISTS IDENTIFY TRIGGER RECEPTOR THAT COULD CURE OSTEOPOROSIS – Researchers at Leipzig University in Germany have developed a new therapy for osteoporosis. The researchers claim they have identified a protein receptor named GPR133 that could be triggered to rebuild lost bone density in osteoporosis patients.
Professor Ines Liebscher, lead investigator of the study, said “If this receptor is impaired by genetic changes, mice show signs of loss of bone density at an early age – similar to osteoporosis in humans. Using the substance AP503, which was only recently identified via a computer-assisted screen as a stimulator of GPR133, we were able to significantly increase bone strength in both healthy and osteoporotic mice.”
- JUDGE KILLS UNIVERSITY’S “DEAD NAMING” RULE – U.S. District Court Judge Fred Slaughter has halted a University of California policy that would penalize students for calling transgendered students by their born names. This is called “dead naming,” calling them by the name of their “dead selves.” The policy equated “dead naming” to “sexual harassment.”
He also halted their policy of punishing students for not using other students’ preferred pronouns. The school called this action “harassment,” which effectively punishes dissenting belief from the gender fluid ideology. The judge ruled that “there is no categorical ‘harassment exception’ to the First Amendment.” He stated the students “have demonstrated a credible threat to enforcement.”
- CHRISTIAN WINS BACK RIGHT TO ADOPT – The Oregon Department of Human Services had to change its standards for adoption after a Christian widow sued them. Jessica Bates sued the state after she was denied the right to adopt a child in their system for refusing to affirm the rainbow ideology. The state settled with Bates, removing the conditions of adoption that demand LGBTQ affirmation. They also had to pay Bates’ court costs.
- PIDDINGTON SECEDES FROM BRITIAN – The village of Piddington voted to secede from the United Kingdom as a response to the government’s plan to overwhelm the tiny village with a flood of subsidized invaders. The vote passed with a 92% supermajority. The referendum was held on September 15, the date Britian celebrates its victory over the German Luftwaffe in 1940.
- THANKS TO TRUMP, MARINE COMES HOME FROM RUSSIA – After spending more than four years in a Russian prison, U.S. Marine Robert Gilman has been released. His release came thanks to negotiations between the Trump administration and the Putin regime. While the Biden administration negotiated a deal to release WNBA player Britney Griner from a Russian prison, they made no effort to negotiate the release of this same U.S. Marine.
- DNA SALVATION FOR DATA CENTERS – A research team from Penn State has claimed they’ve developed a way to use DNA as memory storage. This memory storage would use 100x less energy than current memory storage uses. This could significantly reduce the resource demand on AI Data centers. The findings were published in Advanced Publishing Materials.
One of the researchers, Kavya S. Keremane, stated “Biology and electronics are different domains. Bridging these two fields required developing an entirely new materials platform that allows them to function seamlessly together. By combining the information storage capabilities of DNA with the exceptional electronic properties of perovskite semiconductors, we created a bio-hybrid system that fundamentally changes how low-power memory devices can be designed.”
- CALIFORNIA LOSES NATIONAL CAR PART CONTROL – A new rule change from the EPA effectively ends California’s stranglehold on the car parts industry. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced “Americans should not be forced to solely rely on California to certify aftermarket products. Starting today, Americans can trust that products certified by SEMA meet federal requirements and can be used to repair vehicles.
“The Tampering Policy explains how a person may demonstrate that an aftermarket product does not adversely affect automotive emissions by documenting that an appropriate vehicle equipped with the product will pass the same emissions tests used by the original equipment manufacturer to certify the vehicle under the Clean Air Act.”

A. GLOBAL OUTLOOK
- BIDEN’S DOJ STALKED PARENTS OPPOSED TO WOKE SCHOOLS – Parents who dared speak out against progressive policies in American public schools were tracked and harassed by the FBI. If you dared go to a school board meeting and speak out against pro-transgender policies, or gay porn in school libraries, Biden’s FBI viewed you as a national security risk.
U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon stated, “Under the Biden Administration, parents were the enemy. They were labeled as terrorists, targeted, and investigated by a government weaponized against them. That era is over. The Trump Administration is acting with unprecedented energy and purpose to restore parents’ natural rights as the primary protectors of their children.”
- JACK SMITH WAS SPYING ON EVERYONE – A new document drop by the White House Government Transparency Task Force has revealed “special prosecutor” Jack Smith was spying on almost everyone in the Trump inner circle, including his lawyers. He did this by monitoring the phone of the President’s key administrative organizer and coordinator, Susie Wiles. She is currently President Trump’s Chief of Staff.
- SHARIA GAINING FAVOR AMONG AMERICAN YOUTH – Thanks in large part to great efforts by progressive-controlled government schools promoting Islam and excoriating Christianity, a new poll reveals 4 in 10 young Americans have a favorable view of Sharia, Islamic Law.
The poll indicts the public education system, which has fallen to insurrectionist progressives. These “teachers” are more aligned with Chairman Mao and Osama Bin Laden than they are with George Washington and Jesus Christ.
- FRANCE ISLAMIST-PROGRESSIVE RIOTS CONTINUE – Under the guise of “education reform,” which is mostly demanding more resources and creating policies aligned with the Progressive-Islamist alliance, riots across France in most major cities continue unabated. So far, more than 5,000 people have been arrested.
- IN WAKE OF MASS “MIGRANT INVASION,” SPAIN’S PM FORCED TO CALL SNAP ELECTIONS – Spaniards are joining the growing national protests against their country’s policies of open borders and the state’s attempt to destroy their national identity. The pressure is mounting on the regime in power, the progressives. They rule under their current Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, who rules thanks to a coalition of leftists.
His own party fared worse than the pro-Spanish party in the last election (which finished first but was kept out of power by the far-left coalition). Now, Sanchez must call a Snap election before any hope of winning another election (if he even makes it to that point) dies as the resistance to his Spain-hating policies grows.
- SOMALI TEEN PLOTTED MASS MURDER IN MALL OF AMERICA – The FBI caught another wanna-be terrorist before they could act by first seemingly enabling their actions. Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud, an 18-year-old Somali American, was arrested and accused of plotting to kill Americans in the Mall of America. He was going to use an AK-47 and 200 rounds of ammo. The teen purchased the inert AK-47, and the ammo, from the FBI. This is how the arrest was made.
The DOJ released a statement that, in part, exclaimed, “The FBI rendered the AK-47 rifle inert prior to the transaction. During the sale of the firearm and ammunition, Mohamud reaffirmed his plan to use the firearm and ammunition to shoot people at the Mall of America”
- CCP AGENT CAUGHT SPYING ON TAIWANESE AMERICANS – The DOJ has arrested Wanying “Heather” Zeng, 34, under charges she was spying on Taiwanese Americans for the Chinese government. Assistant Attorney General for National Security John A. Eisenberg declared, “The central allegation here – that Zhang, at the behest of the People’s Republic of China, covertly surveilled relatives of a high-ranking foreign government official in the United States – is deeply troubling…”
U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli added, “Ms. Zhang is charged with acting at the direction of Chinese government officials to spy on the family of a senior Taiwanese official here in the United States. She violated our laws and will be held accountable in our courts. We will aggressively investigate and prosecute illegal foreign operations on American soil.”
- HAMAS SUPPORTERS MARCH ON OCTOBER 7 – Hamas supporters in London decided to march on the 3rd anniversary of the October 7 slaughter of innocent Israelis by the organization they are marching for. The march was not seen as racist by British police, despite it clearly sending a message to the Jews that they’re still next. It is an embrace of the slaughter of the Jewish race, nothing more.
B. HEADLINES MISSED
- ANTHROPIC WANTS TO MERGE WITH THE PRESIDENT – Anthropic has launched a “presidential engagement” project in preparation for the 2028 Presidential election. They plan on engaging with major U.S. presidential candidates on AI policy to determine their political strategy. From this, their political funding strategy would follow. It’s a transparent “buy influence” program being advertised in advance ahead of the 2028 elections. It is projected Anthropic will be a $2 trillion plus venture. With no limits on campaign finance, this will make Anthropic an instant President maker.
- UK SUPPORTS GLOBAL HATE SPEECH CRACKDOWN – The UK is coming out in support of a UN resolution demanding worldwide action to prevent hate speech. The Burnham administration declared, “… we, the UK, thank the African Group for bringing forward this resolution and pay particular tribute to South Africa for their principled leadership in keeping the fight against racism high on the international agenda.”
- CHINA ENTERS LAOS – China has sent a military convoy into the border nation of Laos, which is raising concerns of Laotians who have bad memories of colonization from world powers. The military is being moved into a permanent “Training Center,” which is raising even more red flags among the local population.
- WOMAN ALMOST SUICIDED BY CANADA FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO COOK – A woman who was depressed because she felt she could no longer cook for her family was approved for suicide by Canadian doctors. Fortunately, she was talked out of it, but not by the doctors, who may have wanted to profit from her organs.
Canada’s embrace of euthanasia, which was supposed to be a measure of last resort for the truly terminally and pain-ridden ill, has led it to expand the reasons people can apply for state-assisted suicide. We can add to that growing list not being able to cook for your family. Now, even euthanasia supporters are raising the alarm on Canada’s seemingly careless reliance on suicide to cure its social and economic woes.

- TRUMP TARGETS MAJOR U.S. CORPORATIONS IN FOREIGN VISA CRACKDOWN – Vice President JD Vance announced the Trump administration’s new restrictions on the H-1B Visa program. These new restrictions effectively end U.S. corporate reliance on “cheap foreign labor” for high-level positions, which effectively freeze Americans out of higher potential seats of power.
- CNN FALLS TO MAGA? – The merger deal between Paramount and Warner Brothers has now officially gone through, meaning a Trump-supporting family, the Ellisons, OFFICIALLY hold the reins of power of CNN, the progressive state cable news flagship.
The current head of CNN, Mark Thompson, said of the merger, “First, I’m convinced that from David Ellison on down, Paramount Skydance leadership really does believe in news alongside entertainment as a top strategic opportunity for our new company… And second, having now spoken to them at length of the topic, I have real confidence that they both understand and will fully support the principle and practice of the kind of independent news that CNN has always stood for.”
- AS FOREIGN APPLICATIONS DRY UP, UNIVERSITIES LOWER TUITION FOR AMERICANS – After a dramatic reduction in foreign customers for U.S. universities, the consequence for Americans is lower tuition. Universities needing American customers are now lowering their tuition prices to get them. Several private schools struggling to exist are now lowering their tuition by 40-50% to win back American customers.
- PASTOR FREED AFTER BEING ARRESTED FOR HAVING 24/7 CHURCH – An Ohio Pastor has seen his conviction for opening his church 24/7 overturned by the Ohio Sixth District Court of Appeals. The defendant, Pastor Chris Avell, faced “fire code charges” and jail time for keeping his church open 24/7.
His counsel, Ryan Gardner, said of the ruling, “Pastor Chris has the constitutional right to operate his church free from the government imposing draconian fire code regulations. We hope that this latest ruling will put an end to the years-long legal battle that Pastor Chris has endured. We are grateful to all the work of our co-counsels in this case.”
- DOJ TO LET SUPPRESSOR RULING STAND – The Department of Justice has informed congress it will not be appealing a lower court decision that struck down federal regulations on firearms suppressors. The ruling only applies to the states in the jurisdiction of the court.

EXCERPT:
Anthropic is setting up a “presidential engagement” program ahead of the 2028 elections, building an in-house team that will work directly with U.S. presidential candidates from both parties on AI issues, help Anthropic’s leadership set political strategy, and run the company’s political funding program.
The effort—which is taking shape before the November midterm elections and an impending initial public offering that could value Anthropic at as much as $2 trillion—underscores the extent to which government policy, and the support of the White House in particular, have become critical to the AI industry.
Anthropic is hiring a Political Programs lead to spearhead the effort and build the team. The person will “build and run Anthropic’s presidential engagement program for the 2028 cycle,” according to the job description that the company posted recently. The person in the role will “map the prospective fields in both parties, offer AI policy education to candidates and their advisors on equal terms, prepare Anthropic’s executives for those conversations, and plan ahead for the platform, convention, and transition periods.”
“Decisions made over the next two years will shape the future enormously,” reads the job description. “We want every serious candidate and elected official, in both parties, to understand the technology and the case for governing it well.”

EXCERPT:
Vice President JD Vance announced Thursday that the Trump administration has blocked Microsoft, Adobe, and six other IT outsourcing firms from using the U.S. Department of Labor’s green card program, citing alleged fraud, misuse of H-1B and J-1 visas, and the displacement of American workers.
The suspension bars these companies from submitting new applications to the Permanent Labor Certification Program (PERM), or having pending applications processed. The ban will remain in place “as long as it needs to be,” Vance said.
The vice president also announced federal investigations into nine universities—Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Brown, the University of Pittsburgh, UC Davis, Caltech, Arizona State, and MIT—for visa fraud and undercutting American citizens.
“These universities are employing J-1 visas for federally funded grants at a rate of about 61 percent,” said Vance. “The national average is 38 percent. So something weird is going on at these universities!”
Vance, flanked by Department of Labor (DOL) Secretary Keith Sonderling, DOL Inspector General Anthony D’Esposito, Attorney General Todd Blanche, senior Trump advisor Stephen Miller, and Anti-Fraud Task Force Vice Chair Andrew Ferguson, made the announcements during a press conference at the White House, Thursday.

AI Exports and the Dream of a “Tech West” | American Enterprise Institute– www.aei.org
News Source
EXCERPT:
Two facets of American AI policy are often treated as contradictory, when in reality they are two sides of the same coin: On the one hand, Washington wants to aggressively export US-designed chips and cloud services to make American hardware the backbone of the global intelligence economy. At the same time, Washington wants to keep Chinese AI labs compute-constrained—by refusing to sell them the high-end chips needed to reliably offer AI services to global publics.
There is no contradiction between these positions. A recent AEI report argues that American compute should be the easiest in the world to buy and the hardest to steal. Washington can—and should—pursue a policy of deliberately exporting high-end compute to most countries capable of installing it, with one major exception.
Some China hawks worry that shipping advanced chips abroad can create obvious enforcement loopholes: Chips installed in a data center in Malaysia or Thailand are often rented remotely by customers in Beijing or Hangzhou. China hawks worry that racks of servers sitting in Southeast Asia may effectively amount to Chinese compute by another name.
This is a real problem—one that Congress is working to address. But it is not an argument for keeping every GPU at home, as some have started to advocate.
Computing capacity is an important element of national power, and the United States should build as much AI infrastructure domestically as it practicably can. But there are limits to how quickly American communities will accept new data centers, along with requisite sources of power generation, transmission, and storage. My AEI colleague Will Rinehart has documented that political opposition to large data centers is growing. Meanwhile, environmental permitting remains difficult, and grid interconnection can stretch on for years.
How the Nordics Built a Sustainable Blueprint for A.I. Data Centers– observer.com

EXCERPT:
Over the past two years alone, hyperscalers have announced some of the largest digital infrastructure projects on record. In the U.S., an OpenAI-Oracle-SoftBank Stargate project has outlined five new data centers, totaling roughly five gigawatts of capacity, as part of a multi-year, multibillion-dollar expansion to support next-generation A.I. models. And in India, Google is investing roughly $6 billion to develop an infrastructure hub in Visakhapatnam. But while data centers may appear to be proliferating everywhere, not all locations are equally suited to the demands of A.I.
A.I. workloads have highly specific requirements, and where infrastructure is built has a direct impact on time to market, total cost of ownership and environmental sustainability. As power constraints, permitting delays and grid congestion continue to slow new projects in major markets, the central challenge has shifted. The focus is no longer simply on building capacity, but on finding where capacity can be responsibly developed at scale.
The Nordic region, traditionally known for its mining, steel, pulp and paper production, has experienced a rebirth in recent years as an ideal location for prominent businesses such as Spotify, Nokia, Klarna and Lego, alongside a growing ecosystem of cleantech and data-driven industries. Arguably, one of its fastest-growing sectors is that of A.I.-ready digital infrastructure. A powerful combination of forward-thinking governments and favorable natural conditions has enabled the area to offer systemic lessons for scaling A.I. sustainably.

“The Single Most Toxic Issue in the Midterms”: How America Turned on Data Centers. – Mother Jones– www.motherjones.com
News Source
EXCERPT:
Tim Murphy joins Garrison Hayes to break down the bipartisan revolt against data centers.
America is hopelessly divided along party lines. That’s a stubborn fact, we’re told, and the polling bears it out: Democrats dislike Republicans and Republicans dislike Democrats, in almost precisely the same proportions.
But every election produces surprising coalitions that defy entrenched partisanship. In these midterms, left and right have found something so commonly loathed that politicians across the country are flip-flopping in real time.
Mother Jones has been tracking the backlash to data centers on the ground long before the water-guzzling behemoths became the country’s bête noire. The AI boom, with its insatiable need for computing, has unleashed a power grab by tech billionaires. “Data centers have replaced megayachts as the preferred theater of oligarchic status signaling,” national correspondent Tim Murphy wrote in his big Mother Jones investigation into hyperscale data centers and the communities they land on. “Oligarchy is now more than an idea; it is a place.”
The Pentagon Hopes to Speed Up ‘Kill Chain’ AI Buys With 5-Minute Videos– www.wired.com
News Source
EXCERPT:
An under-the-radar procurement program led by the Department of Defense has been granting special statuses to would-be defense contractors that make it easier for the government to quickly purchase their AI offerings, based on product videos that must be no longer than five minutes.
It’s part of the Pentagon’s desperate bid to inject competition in a market the United States military itself destroyed.
The initiative, known as Tradewinds, is managed by DOD’s Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO.) Companies can submit videos describing how their AI products address one of several different “strategic focus areas” that the government periodically updates. At least once a month, a panel of judges review submissions and decide whether to accept them into the Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace, where the videos can then be viewed by government officials.
If accepted, the pitched products are considered “post-competitive.” Many procurement regulations include competitive requirements. The status can let government buyers check off that box and potentially help shave months off of award timelines. A DOD official says that in several instances, the department has been able to make awards using Tradewinds in less than a week. OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google are all listed as participants.
How to Defend Against AI-Designed Viruses– warontherocks.com
News Source
EXCERPT:
Anthropic recently disclosed five cases in which users hid their countries while asking Claude for help enhancing pathogens or toxins. This added fuel to the ongoing debate over whether progress in AI should be slowed. Insider warnings of threats to human lives from artificial intelligence have been received as everything from prescient humility to a hoax or marketing stunt. But in a world where AI-designed biological viruses have already been grown in the lab, the threats should be reckoned with in any biodefense strategy.
The “AI doomer” model of biological risks is that AI will develop intelligence beyond that of any human, leading it to invent a supervirus so much more powerful and fatal than anything in the world that our civilization will collapse. Adherents name this “x-risk.” An opposite view is that virus design is such a hard problem that AI won’t add anything beyond what the best humans can do, and that malicious actors — even state actors — would require access to so much top expertise that production is unfeasible.
Doomerism justifies unrealistic and destabilizing solutions (like bombing data centers) while the dismissiveness of certain biologists — including some, like Claus Wilke and David Bellamy, who are AI experts with experience in synthetic virus design — fosters a complacency that leaves us vulnerable to AI threats.

OpenAI called its chatbot an ‘existential risk.’ Now it faces a legal ultimatum from this red state.– www.theblaze.com
News Source
EXCERPT:
The public can’t agree if artificial intelligence is a good thing or a bad thing for society, but one state is taking a stand in opposition. A Florida attorney general recently made a motion to block further ChatGPT development, and unless several strict terms are met, OpenAI can’t release new AI models in the state ever again.
In late September, DeSantis-appointed Attorney General James Uthmeier filed a temporary injunction against OpenAI. The document shines a spotlight on OpenAI, bringing to light the company’s claims that ChatGPT “poses an existential risk to the continued survival of humankind.” Furthermore, AI companies like OpenAI “admit that they provide a service without fully knowing how it works.”
Uthmeier’s motion delivers the government reckoning they crave.
Ultimately, this threat is what led Big AI CEOs, like Dario Amodei, Sam Altman, and Elon Musk, to join together in a call to “pace the frontier.” However, so far, that union has amounted to nothing but lip service, as frontier model development continues unfettered, at least for now.

The first AI doctor is here. Despite all the skepticism and risks associated with AI models going haywire, the state of Utah just approved Nolla Health, a company that is providing an AI healthcare expert capable of writing prescriptions without any human in the chain. For now, it will only write acne prescriptions for Utah residents over 18 years of age, willing to pay a token monthly subscription fee that’s lighter than your Spotify bill.
The big push here is that the Nolla Derm app will reduce the costs of medical consultation, save users the hassle of clinic visits, and take out the problem of waitlisting from the entire healthcare equation. “Unlike telehealth platforms that use AI only to collect information before handing patients off to clinicians, Nolla’s AI system is designed to independently issue initial prescriptions within tightly defined, physician-approved treatment protocols,” writes the company.
Her AI-Generated Video Swayed the Judge. The Court Said it Carried ‘Undue Emotional Weight’– www.404media.co

EXCERPT:
A man convicted of manslaughter in Arizona will be resentenced because an AI-generated video of his victim speaking from beyond the grave was ruled to have carried “undue emotional weight” as an impact statement. An appellate court in Arizona ruled that the manslaughter charge will remain, but the judge must reconsider the length of the man’s prison term because of AI.
In 2021, Gabriel Horcasitas shot and killed Christopher Pelkey during a road rage incident. A jury found him guilty of manslaughter. During Horcasitas’ sentencing hearing, Pelkey’s sister Stacey Wales played an AI-generated video of her brother as part of her victim’s impact statement. In the video, which she scripted with her own words that she made an AI generated likeness of Pelkey say, the AI avatar of Pelkey forgives his killer and said they “could have been friends” in another life.
“I loved that video,” the judge said while handing down the maximum sentence of 10 and a half years.
Wales told 404 Media that her intent with the video was to sway the judge. “Isn’t that what you want human connection to be?” she said. “Do you ever come out of a movie and say: ‘Well, that was too emotional. That was too powerful. Human connection is powerful, and trying to convey that to somebody that’s never known another person, this person on the earth, to convey their lifetime of 37 years down to a two-hour sentencing event is hard to do, and I think that victims and victims’ families should be afforded every opportunity.”

EXCERPT:
President Donald Trump and some of the world’s most prominent technology executives signed the White House Accord on Super Intelligence on Tuesday, establishing voluntary standards aimed at oversight, transparency and accountability as the industry rapidly develops advanced technology.
The agreement came the same day Trump signed an executive order officially rebranding artificial intelligence as “Super Intelligence.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson unveiled the accord outside the West Wing alongside executives including xAI’s Elon Musk, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, Anthropic’s Dario Amodei and Nvidia’s Jensen Huang. The announcement followed a private luncheon attended by Trump, Johnson, Cabinet officials and technology leaders.
“The super intelligence providers are committed to building trust as they help us build the future,” Johnson said, adding that the executives were prepared to “take accountability and ownership.”
Johnson described the agreement as a voluntary statement of principles establishing expectations for “robust internal controls and layers of internal and external review.” He said Congress and the White House would continue working to guide the industry’s development in a safe manner.
Trump compared the accord to a constitution and praised the executives for coming together.
“They love our country, they love the world,” Trump said. “And they came together, and they did something … it’s almost like a constitution in a way.”
AI appears to be breaking the gateway into the tech world for new technicians. Nearly 50% of entry-level tech jobs have been eliminated by AI.
