After a controversial leak investigation, which included New York DOJ subpoenas to collaborating journalists, it appears the Dept of War has identified the source of the Airforce One security compromise, former Secretary of the Airforce, Frank Kendall.
Disgraced former Biden appointee and staunch activist democrat Frank Kendall has now lost his security clearance, and his nongovernmental career as a contractor, consultant and lobbyist within the area of military procurement. Kendall can no longer hold any sensitive position in the private sector that touches on Pentagon programs.
(Via Dept of War via X) – Effective immediately, the Department of War has REVOKED former Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall’s eligibility for access to classified information and his ability to hold any sensitive position.
This action follows his unauthorized disclosure of classified information regarding Air Force One’s capabilities to a media outlet.
Safeguarding classified information is a non-negotiable duty. Those who violate that trust forfeit the privilege of access and any role requiring it. (source)
This type of duplicitous scheming is one of the reasons why DC didn’t want Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth. DC wanted someone they could count on to undermine President Trump.
Keep your eyes focused on the cross between the flashing images. The faces will appear grossly distorted in your peripheral field of vision. Now, consider that just as our eyes can distort faces as in the gif above, so our minds can and frequently do distort all of our perceptions, especially ones with psychological relevance. This is how our minds do not work well psychologically and emotionally. To compensate for psychological distortions most people in all cultures in the world are forced to cleave to whatever the default assumptions of their cultures are. This leaves us with plastic faces and conformist mannerisms, while inside our minds are filled with emotional distortions. As we carry these distortions through the years, our psychological misperceptions of ourselves and others can become deeply misshapen, leading to neurotic confusion on many levels. No general theory or general method can fix this problem, which at its core is an accumulation of idiosyncratic perceptual distortions held in memory (and the responses that arise from them). FIML practice is a specific activity designed to find and remove perceptual and psychological distortions. FIML will always be unique to the partners using it. It will always deal with their idiosyncratic distortions as they arise in real time. In this sense, FIML has no content except what you put into it. FIML is a tool that helps us see ourselves as we are really functioning in real-time. ABN
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent continues on two domestic financial approaches to block banking services for illegal aliens and simultaneously target use of the financial system by those engaged in fraud of the U.S. government.
Secretary Bessent has extended the Geographic Targeting Order (GTO) within Minnesota that covers two counties, Hennepin and Ramsey.
All financial transactions over a $3,000 limit are subject to increased reporting requirements and scrutiny from the U.S. treasury. {citation}
The measure is intended to identify any person who attempts to transfer funds obtained by fraud who operate in the region to take advantage of HHS funding programs. “Treasury promised to follow the money, and that is exactly what we are doing,” said Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent. “We will continue to give law enforcement critical tools to trace criminal networks that siphon taxpayer dollars and move them overseas. The Trump Administration will not allow criminals to profit from programs intended to help vulnerable Americans.”
Bessent is now giving banks and payroll companies additional guidelines and rules to ensure that illegal aliens are not exploiting the U.S. banking system. Bessent is following a path that is predicted to eventually require banks to verify legal citizenship or legal status. The guidelines are the first steps toward that process.
UPDATE: I have watched about 3/4 of this video. It provides a detailed and well-presented overview of the glaring absence of proper and legally required medical and security preplanning. An EMT on the scene was actually turned away by Kirk’s ‘security’ team; there were no ambulances for the large crowd (~3,000 ppl); there was no reassessment of the security plan as the crowd grew, and more. Well-worth viewing. No fluff, clearly explained, dozens of facts pointing to probable complicity. ABN
Some were buried with bridles, bells and riding gear, sometimes several in one grave. At least one horse had been brought across the Baltic, probably from Sweden.
Around 2,000 horse burials are known in Lithuania. The tradition lasted from roughly the 3rd to the 14th century, longer than anywhere else in Europe.
Lithuania, a tiny country today, still carries some of Europe’s oldest genes, attributable to the earliest hunter-gatherers who populated Europe at the end of the last ice age, some 10,000 years ago. The Lithuanian language is the oldest still-spoken Indo-European language in the world; it closely resembles ancient Sanskrit, which indicates an Aryan creole admixture with Lithuanian hunter-gatherers approximately 5,000 years ago. Sadly, Lithuania has recently begun receiving and paying for ‘refugees’ from South Asia and Africa who will soon overwhelm the Lithuanian population, which stands at a mere 2.8 million souls. Lithuania survived two centuries of Czarist Russian occupation and decades of occupation under the Soviet Union. During those times, they steadfastly maintained their culture, language and genetic stock. Today, under the EU (a morphed version of the SU) Lithuania is facing cultural and genetic annihilation within a few generations. It’s a microcosm of what is happening to Europe and the West. Each Western nation and each Western region is being ushered to the chopping block by hostile forces they cannot stop or control. ABN
Five Private Steps in the Statist Censorship Continuum
Censored image: This Substack distills every article into clear syllogistic infographics—saving readers time and preventing shaky premises and reasoning from being hidden behind a torrent of words. However, AIs often refuse to generate politically incorrect infographics. Initially Grok refused to generate this infographic and gave instead a long lecture on the great trustworthiness of the Mises Institute. Here is an example:
After being pushed, Grok finally agreed to generate an infographic but refused to include the terms “Jewish monopolies” (historical tax farmer, slave trade, war contractor, trade and banking monopolies) and “Jewish Problem” (Diaspora group refusing to assimilate). Yet other American AI models are even more censorious. ChatGPT, for instance, flatly refuses to discuss historically documented Jewish monopolies, while China’s DeepSeek allows these conversations.
Introduction
The Ludwig von Mises Institute serves as the headquarters for the Austrian School of economics and the rationalist-conservative strain of libertarianism known as Austro-Libertarianism. Although Ludwig von Mises passed away in 1973 and his leading disciple, Murray Rothbard, in 1995, their memory and intellectual message are carried on by the Institute. Led by President Llewellyn Rockwell Jr., the Institute’s foremost resident intellectual is David Gordon—a close friend and disciple of Rothbard. Like Mises and Rothbard, Gordon is Jewish. So too was Burton Blumert, whose Center for Libertarian Studies helped establish the Mises Institute before later integrating into it.
Following Blumert’s passing in 2009, only Rockwell and Gordon remain from the original guard. Gordon serves as the scholarly editor of the Mises Review and stands as the ultimate authority on all things Rothbardian. He is deeply revered by the Institute’s student body; some of his student fans even affectionately refer to him as the mastermind or “God” due to his encyclopedic knowledge on virtually every subject.

Together, Rockwell and Gordon have led the Institute for decades, dramatically expanding its footprint into a multi-building campus where thousands of university students and scholars have been educated on the principles of liberty.
Austro-Libertarianism is renowned not only for its free-market ideology and cultural conservatism, but particularly for its anti-war, isolationist foreign policy. This stance is rooted in an Austro-Libertarian Theory and historical narrative that views the United States as the world’s foremost imperialist power. At first glance, the Austro-Libertarian theory of history appears paradoxical. Much like Marxist theory, it posits that world history is largely driven by genetic and economic forces. However, unlike Marxism, it assigns a key role to specific individuals who operate at the crossroads of history when economic crises and wars create turning points. These key actors can be great generals, politicians, or entrepreneurs—but they can also be intellectuals. Occasionally, these intellectuals act as true masterminds, steering the course of history toward either liberty or tyranny through the sheer force of their ideas and personality.
Austro-Libertarians believe that during the last century, two great masterminds successfully turned the wheel of history toward liberty: Ludwig von Mises and Murray Rothbard. Mises championed the fight against socialism. His disciple, Rothbard, not only expanded Mises’ work into a comprehensive, rationalist anti-statist paradigm, but also laid the foundations for the modern paleolibertarian movement alongside allies like Howard Buffett, Ron Paul and Patrick Buchanan.
The most famous of these allies is former Congressman Ron Paul, who remains closely associated with the institute. His historic campaigns in 2008 and 2012 brought him remarkably close to securing the Republican presidential nomination. Today, the Ron Paul Liberty Movement continues to exert significant influence within the Republican Party, MAGA and the larger libertarian movement.
The fifth tranche, released on Friday, includes chilling accounts of enormous triangular craft, mysterious high-speed orbs and even a metal sphere allegedly carrying a human body.
Among the most extraordinary reports is a military pilot’s account of a silent, 500-foot triangular object that swept over Bagram Airfield, a US-operated base, in 2002.
The witness told agents that he was stargazing with another pilot at approximately 4:30am when the stars suddenly began disappearing above them.
‘It appeared as if something huge went overhead,’ the FBI interview summary states.
The pilot described the object as an equilateral triangle that moved silently across the sky at a steady speed and altitude, despite displaying no visible lights.
A major contention of FIML practice is that “cultures” all tend toward holding many fixed ideas and so does individual psychology.
The subjective psychology of the individual can be understood as a kind of interior “culture” that often is as rigid and shallow as the lowest-common-denominator culture to which that individual belongs.
In this respect, psychology and culture are much the same thing. They range across a spectrum that grades from the idiosyncrasies of the individual to the values and beliefs of their group/culture.
Consider the predominance of leftist views held by majorities in academia and the news media.
Anyone who draws close to academia will know that some values and beliefs may not be questioned. To do so is to risk ostracism, bad grades, not going to grad school, not getting published, not getting tenure, job loss, and more.
Another example is the behavior of the EU, which to this day continues to deny the problems caused by mass migration as well as the statistics of that mass migration or what they mean. (Two graphs on EU asylum seekers)
The tendency of all cultures to shun people who violate deep values or beliefs is mirrored in individual psychology.
When, as individuals, we believe that another individual has violated some aspect of our interior “culture,” our idiosyncratic mixture of ideas and emotions, we will tend to avoid that person or at least step back from them.
This response seems to be innate, instinctive, existing in virtually all people everywhere.
Reasonable people can usually discuss culture and cultural differences if there is a forum for this or some kind of prior agreement.
If you just bring up the bad side of someone’s culture without prior agreement to discuss it, they generally will not like it or you.
Something similar can be said about individual psychology. If you bring up a fault in your friend without warning, they generally will not like it. If you introduce your thought deferentially, though, most people will accept it and maybe even thank you for it. But you cannot keep doing this even with the most tolerant of individuals.
This is a weak point in all of us. We need input from others but cannot stand getting it except sometimes. By the time we become adults, most of us will not tolerate or receive even slight input from others. Once or twice a year is probably an average limit.
This is how cultures get so many fixed ideas. At the most basic level of culture, individual-to-individual, we cannot bear to be questioned enough.
FIML works with very small bits of real-time communication using a technique that partners agree on.
Because there is prior agreement and because the bits of information being worked on are very small, there is much less emotional charge than if general “traits” or “habits” are being discussed.
The low emotional charge of FIML material makes it much easier for individuals to accept results that show them to have been wrong. Indeed, FIML practitioners soon learn that correcting these small mistakes leads almost immediately to greater happiness and well-being because a mistake once removed frees brain-space for better stuff. Makes you smarter because you will stop being stuck on whatever it was.
FIML also works well and efficiently because it uses real-time bits of real communication that are agreed upon by both partners. This aspect prevents pointless “discussions” during which partners are talking about different things or vaguely defined things.
People are not very smart. You can see this in the ways that both cultures and individual psychologies tend to become rigid, settling on fixed ideas, beliefs, values.
As semiotic entities, we are all beginners. We are at the stage where we are able to see and think about how we communicate, but it is still very hard for us to apply this information or gain much from it. For the most part, insights into communication/psychology are mostly used to manipulate or control others, not to speak honestly to them.
President Donald Trump signed two executive actions on Thursday to crack down on ‘birth tourism’ in the US and to restrict citizenship from being granted to the children of foreign diplomats.
Birth tourism is a practice where pregnant mothers travel to the states to give birth and ensure their children are granted US citizenship.
‘They’re buying their way in, and we’re not going to let it happen,’ Trump said in the Oval Office, announcing the new policies.
‘We’re making adjustments because it’s very unfair,’ the President said of the practice.
