In other words, reading between the lines: The night before Kirk’s talk at UVU, rabbi Wolicki asked to have a one-hour Zoom conversation with him, to go through his pro-Israel “talking points”, because many of his fans “were turning on Israel” and “there were prominent people … actively working to [get him to] drop his support for Israel on a daily basis.” (In other words, Kirk was pushed in an anti-Israel direction by his followers and by people like Carlson and Owens, and needed strong opposite pressure to stay in line.) Kirk was “in a combative mood”, “playing the role of devil’s advocate.” (In other words, the conversation turned into an argument.) Kirk was assassinated the next day.
Another point I have not seen brought up is the timing of the shot is said to have been .23 seconds, which comes from an audio measurement of the shot from firing to hitting Kirk.
How do we know the audio has not been doctored?
That would be an easy thing to do. That .23 seconds yields a distance of 143 yards, precisely the distance the sniper is said to have been away from Kirk.
But that ‘sniper’ ran off with no apparent gun in hand.
Also, no bullet has been recovered and there appear to be no signs of it exiting, which should have been conspicuous.
Why did Kirk’s security immediately clean up the scene? And why did Zinn act like a decoy immediately after the shot?
There are numerous anomalies like these in the so-far official story of what happened. ABN
Simon makes a decent point, but don’t throw the crowd out with the bathwater. Nothing is perfect. Millions of Brits needed a reason to show their mettle. Who organized it is not the main feature. We have to work with percentages. A huge crowd like this inspires tens of millions, perhaps hundreds of millions. Don’t make perfect be the enemy of pragmatics. ABN
Basic anthropology and the elite know it and believe they will win. Their winning is not a sure thing, but they have intentionally brought about the crisis, which shows they are confident. Unite the Kingdom is the right call. Unity is all we the plebs have. Musk surely has complex motives but I believe he really does want to save Western civilization. ABN
What people thought America could be – a beacon of democracy – was the last thing it became. In reality, it’s a corporate machine that has given rise to the Transnational Private Sector (TPS).
The TPS is a coalition of corporate giants, led by the Financial-Industrial Complex (FIC) with firms like JPMorgan, Goldman, and BlackRock, alongside the Military-Industrial Complex (MIC), Consumer-Industrial Complex (CIC), and Techno-Industrial Complex (TIC).
This collective force operates beyond borders, transcends nationality, and prioritizes profit over public welfare.
When Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan’s CEO, warned in October 2024 that wars in Ukraine and the Middle East could destabilize the global economy, he wasn’t just forecasting. He was asserting the TPS’s dominance over policy.
To understand this power, you have to examine the game theory driving the TPS’s clash with nations.
This concept that I have developed deliberately sets aside the idea of good, evil, right, or wrong. Geopolitical dynamics are examined through the lens of incentives, power, and measurable outcomes, not moral judgments. The focus is the strategic interplay of actors, stripped of ethical narratives.
___
Game theory provides a framework for understanding geopolitical strategies by analyzing the incentives that drive actors’ decisions.
There are two distinct game types: finite and infinite. Both these games shape global interactions. Finite games are zero-sum with defined endpoints, and clear winners and losers. It’s akin to a corporate quarter where profit maximization is the sole objective.
One player wins, the other loses.
Infinite games, conversely, lack a conclusion, have no end, prioritizing sustained participation through long-term stability, akin to a nation’s multi-generational survival strategy.
States operate within infinite games.
They do not expire. They do not tap out.
Their permanence compels them to prioritize enduring stability over immediate gains. For instance, China’s $1 trillion Belt and Road Initiative, spanning decades, secures global trade networks to ensure long-term economic influence. BRICS nations, through $10 billion in yuan-based trade, foster mutual economic resilience for mutual prosperity.
This cooperative approach engenders a form of morality rooted in reciprocity: mutual support today ensures mutual survival tomorrow. Such strategies reflect a commitment to societal development and stability, as states must maintain legitimacy and resources for their populations over time.
The TPS operates as a corporate entity, fundamentally detached from societal obligations. Unlike states, the TPS bears no responsibility to citizens, public welfare, or long-term development. Its imperative is profit maximization within finite time horizons, driven by shareholder demands and market cycles.
The Bush family, whose neoconservative war-hawk policies dragged America into catastrophic Middle East quagmires costing trillions and countless lives, is plotting a brazen political comeback, even as voters from all sides have rejected their reckless globalist agenda.
Despite George P. Bush’s humiliating 2022 defeat in the Texas attorney general GOP primary, Jonathan, a former health care executive, is testing the waters with an exploratory committee and a new nonprofit, “Maine for Keeps,” aimed at tackling the state’s economic and housing woes. The Bangor Daily News reported that George W. Bush and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush rolled out the red carpet for their cousin at a swanky Kennebunkport fundraiser this week.

According to Brandon Rottinghouse, a University of Houston political science professor, Bush-style politics are “like the anti-MAGA” and that the “tone and issue profile of most modern Republicans are different from the Bush family politics,” adding “Republican primary audiences are now conditioned to a more aggressive breed of conservatism, one district from the Bush family political legacy.”
Meanwhile, Ronald Schmidt, professor of political science at the University of Southern Maine, told Newsweek that there are still Republicans in the state who would support a Bush.
The face of yet another elite faction vying for American power.
I would not be at all surprised if this faction were behind the assassination attempt on Trump, or closely associated with whomever did it.
I do see the notion that the assassination was political theater made to help Trump, but believe the odds of that are low.
There are many elite factions who bear on USA — European royal families, Jewish Supremists, the Bushes, often aligned with the Clintons. We also have Thiel, Musk, and the tech bros; the CCP and more.
This list is long depending how far down the power structure you go or how widely you cast your net. ABN
Former chief of staff of the Ukrainian Army’s elite Azov Brigade Lieutenant Colonel Bogdan Krotevich has claimed that Ukrainain forces in the disputed Donbas regions are facing an increasingly catastrophic situation, with Russian units poised to achieve two major encirclements.
“I honestly don’t know what exactly you are being told, but I can tell you: the Pokrovsk-Konstantinovka line is, without exaggeration, a complete f**k up.
And this f**k up has been growing for a long time, getting messier every day,” he stated in an open letter to President Volodymyr Zelensky on August 11.
Pokrovsk has been surrounded by Russian forces, while Konstantinovka is facing semi-encirclement, he added, sharing a map which he claimed showed the situation in the area, which corroborated media reports of a major Russian breakthrough to the north of Pokrovsk.
President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin next week in Alaska.
Trump shared the ground-breaking statement via his Truth Social social media platform where he described the meeting as ‘highly anticipated,’ though few details were provided.
The summit would be the first face-to-face meeting between the two world leaders since Russia invaded neighboring Ukraine in 2022 under President Joe Biden.
‘The highly anticipated meeting between myself, as President of the United States of America, and President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, will take place next Friday, August 15, 2025, in the Great State of Alaska,’ Trump wrote.
‘Further details to follow. Thank you for your attention to this matter!’
Nvidia said there are no backdoors or kill switches in its chips, denying an accusation from the Chinese government. The company also urged policymakers to reject proposals for backdoors and kill switches.
“There are no back doors in NVIDIA chips. No kill switches. No spyware. That’s not how trustworthy systems are built—and never will be,” Nvidia Chief Security Officer David Reber Jr. wrote in a blog post yesterday.
The Cyberspace Administration of China last week said it held a meeting with Nvidia over “serious security issues” in the company’s chips and claimed that US AI experts “revealed that Nvidia’s computing chips have location tracking and can remotely shut down the technology.”
The accusation is related to the H20 chip Nvidia made for the Chinese market to comply with US export restrictions. US lawmakers are meanwhile considering a Chip Security Act that would require exported chips to be built with “location verification.” The bill also calls for an assessment of mechanisms to stop unauthorized use—a proposal that critics say could lead to a “kill switch” like the kind that Nvidia wants to prevent.
Chinese state media has released a rare footage of a new Type 094 Class nuclear powered ballistic missile submarine departing on a long-range patrol, with the broadcast featuring a declaration from one of the crew pledging fire the ship’s nuclear missiles “without hesitation” if ordered.
The ship departed from Longpo Naval Base, a heavily fortified underground facility on Hainan Island that hosts the bulk of the Chinese strategic submarine fleet.
The facility has recently seen new J-20 fifth generation fighter and J-16 heavyweight fighter brigades deployed nearby, likely as means to strengthen its defences.
This footage is the first known instance in which Chinese state media has publicly acknowledged the active deployment of the submarine class.
Type 094 JIn Class Nuclear Powered Ballistic Missile Submarine
Although China has emerged as a world leader in many areas of its military capabilities, its fleet of modern ballistic missile submarines remains small at an estimated four ships. The Type 094 Class has nevertheless provided a major leap forward in capabilities that has largely bridged the technological gap with the American and Russian fleets.
A regime is not upheld by abstractions, but by men—by their capacities, their instincts, and their loyalties. Every political order is biopolitical. It rests on who is born, who holds power, and who is cast out.
Hierarchy is the principle by which men are arranged according to their natural differences. Order is the cohesion and stability that arise when those differences are rightly understood and affirmed. Both emerge from the unequal distribution of traits among men: differences in character, in foresight, and in the will to lead or the willingness to follow.
Institutions do not endure through ideals alone. They endure through the strength, discipline, and continuity of a people—through the cooperation of the living and the faithful transmission of order across generations. Each man fulfills the station assigned to him. As the Roman poet Horace observed, “Content with his own place, he does not strive to rise above his rank.” This is the foundation of every stable order.
When these biological foundations are subverted—when the weak and unfit are gathered into a collective and their infirmity is transmuted into political force—politics does not vanish. It degenerates. It no longer serves truth, justice, or excellence, but becomes a mechanism of control. The regime still demands obedience, but not from men of worth. It secures it through dependence, and sustains it by elevating the weak over the strong, the base over the noble.
This is the logic of Bioleninism.
Coined by the writer “Spandrell,” Bioleninism describes a strategy of rule that emerges in times of civilizational decline. Unable to sustain themselves through the loyalty of the competent and independent, regimes in decay assemble a new ruling coalition from the biologically—and therefore, often socially—unfit. These are not men who ascend through merit, but men whose status, and in many cases their very existence, depends entirely on the system. Their loyalty is secured through dependency. Their resentment is weaponized against those more capable.
This is not a new phenomenon. Lenin perfected it in revolutionary Russia. He recruited from the embittered margins—what Dr. Edward Dutton calls the “spiteful mutants”: ethnic outsiders, failed intellectuals, radical ideologues, and social deviants. These were not men with a stake in the old order, nor any place in a just or natural hierarchy. But for a regime built upon destruction, they were the perfect instruments. Their failure bound them in loyalty. Their hatred made them merciless.
The insane level of cope since Sunday’s EU Trade deal announcement has been hilarious to watch… from the US haters who believed their own bullshit about American weakness as well as from the Europhiles who somehow really did think the US needs the EU to prosper.
It seems the counter narrative that has been hastily ginned up is, “This will never pass the EU Parliament…so it’s all bullshit from Trump,” however is the absolute worst.
Because, let’s think this through shall we…
1) Von der Satan just barely passed a vote of No Confidence earlier in the month. She’s already damaged goods.
2) Trump has the goods on EU and UK malfeasance involving the 2016, 2020 and 2022 US elections, and he sent @DNIGabbard over to London before dropping the bombs on them. What was presented is likely a lot bigger than just rigging our elections, think Pfizer shots, biolabs, NGO money laundering in Ukraine and more.
3) If the EU parliament goes against Von der Fuhrer over this deal, then that weakens the EU even further as countries who can get a better deal from Trump individually will do so.
4) Parliament will be a mess as an aftershock. Old coalitions held together through blackmail, arm-twisting, threats to withhold funding, etc. will splinter.
5) Chaos in Brussels will be met with across the board selling of EU debt as the only hope the market has right now is the promise of them spending “trillions” on defense. This is why the DAX is up 21% in 2025, and trading at near all-time-highs both in nominal and valuation terms (P/E ~19).
For these reasons (and more), the whole talking point about parliament is a non-starter. None of the feckless Eurocrats who hold marginal power in that chamber will do anything other than froth at the mouth like @guyverhofstadt.
But, they will always, in the end, vote for more of what got them here.
Now, if you want to talk why this deal may have a silver lining for the EU, it would be this… that Trump used their desperation for 1) a deal, 2) his support for their insane war in Ukraine and 3) to collapse their economy to consolidate power in Brussels to get everything he wanted…
He can then do what he did today, issue a stronger message to Russia to end the conflict on less than perfect terms for them while he guts their biggest threat (the EU) through reversing the capital flow back to the US.
There may still have to be a NATO attempt in Ukraine which will be bloody for everyone if it happens. But it may be the only way for the people in Europe to be shocked out of their complacency.
First Trump crushes their EU leadership, then add in a couple hundred thousand dead in Ukraine… that’ll leave a mark politically.
