Europe’s youth take the streets - whoever they are, they seek an answer.
Answer came there none. Read on, Marchons!
War must for now be regarded as a tactic aimed at domestic populations to distract from economic problems at home and to advance the surveillance state.

Reminder: just yesterday we learned that:
A) a former ISIS guard for a beheading squad came to yookay illegally on a boat, obviously because of the ECHR/HRA he can't be jailed or deported, living freely;
B) SAS guys sent on missions to deal with ISIS beheaders were then arrested for MURDER for dealing with them; they were lied to by the military police; they have been told they can never be clear of the charges (because the ECHR/HRA means any time some lawyer like Jolyon or Hermer wants to team up with nutters on a ECHR case, the government will be forced to investigate again and remember Hermer's friend *invented* war crimes to bring cases against British soldiers, but obviously wasn't jailed, triples all round in the Inner Temple).
So we're importing the jihadis at scale while prosecuting for murder SAS we rely on to defend us from the jihadis - and if you don't like this you're fascist and it's a reason to ban X in yookay.
No you will not see Kemi-kasi campaign on these issues because the Tories agreed with Labour for 25 years that this combination is 'defending civilisation'. The Tories imported many of the jihadis now in the news, and the Tories approved all the worst officials and lawyers in SW1 bringing the lawfare cases, including against those who were given medals by the Queen for stopping IRA terrorist attacks - they now have to beg for cash for lawyers in their 70s/80s.
And because Reform is a bin fire which can't maintain focus on anything for 2 minutes -- like Kemi-kasi -- you probably won't see anything sustained from them either.

Part 2, and my last post about my Shawn Ryan Show episode.
Last I heard, it had been edited. Then Shawn went on Diary of a CEO and described a woman whose interview he’d never release. That woman wasn’t me, unless he was lying.
But I never expected it to air, and here’s why:
I spent weeks prepping with Shawn’s team. I was booked to follow the money on TPUSA and the surveillance state, and naming names is what I do. I’m meticulous, and I never say anything I can’t prove. Then, right before we started filming, I was told I couldn’t name names. When I brought up who funds Flock Safety, the license plate cameras now in thousands of American towns, I was told not to say Andreessen Horowitz or Peter Thiel. You can’t follow the money without showing where the money flows. That’s when I realized this episode would never air, before we had even started.
So when I got home, I did what I do. I followed the money. And, turns out Shawn Ryan is invested in companies backed by the exact people I was told not to name, plus Israel.
(1) Anduril Industries: Ryan has been an investor since October 2025. Anduril started with surveillance towers and now builds drones and autonomous weapons. Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund led its June 2025 round, and Andreessen Horowitz co-led its $5 billion round in May 2026. Those are the two names I was told to leave out. In February 2026, Anduril’s founder, Palmer Luckey, made an undisclosed trip to Israel and met with Netanyahu and senior defense officials. By June, Anduril was setting up an Israel operation to sell to Israel’s Ministry of Defense. Shawn had Palmer on his show in February 2025 and invested eight months later.
(2) Shield AI: Ryan has been an investor since November 2025. It builds AI-piloted drones and fighter jets. Andreessen Horowitz led its first major round and has kept investing ever since. Shawn had its co-founder on the show the same season he invested.
(3) Sesh: Ryan has been an investor since August 2025. Its $40 million round was led by 8VC, the venture firm of Joe Lonsdale, who co-founded Palantir with Peter Thiel. Lonsdale was a guest on Shawn’s show on May 7, 2026, less than three months before I taped. Palantir signed a strategic partnership with Israel’s Ministry of Defense in 2024.
And Flock Safety, the company I came to talk about, is backed by Andreessen Horowitz, which led two of its rounds, and by Founders Fund, Peter Thiel’s fund.
So I was booked to expose who funds the surveillance state. I was told not to name Andreessen Horowitz or Peter Thiel. And the host has money in companies backed by Andreessen Horowitz, by Thiel’s fund, and by Thiel’s Palantir co-founder, including one that is building its business in Israel.
Then there’s the rest of it. Sarah Adams, his former network host, was messaging his team to keep me off (see Part 1 if you missed it). An IDF settlement contractor tagged the two of them together. Pro-Israel groups passed around her clip from his show as proof that Israel didn’t drive the war. And after his Diary of a CEO interview, accounts from the same network that spent the summer smearing me told everyone his “CIA woman” was me, citing “sources.” It wasn’t me. I never discussed a polygraph with Shawn Ryan, and it was never why I went on. So either he was talking about someone else, or somebody turned his story into a weapon against me.
Honestly, I don’t want the episode to air, and I told them so right after we taped, because it was a watered-down version of my work. How it all happened was a tough lesson learned for me in this industry. Now you know what was going on behind the scenes. If this episode doesn’t air, I can assure you it’s not because I’m a fraud. It’s because I won’t water down who funds the surveillance state, and I won’t sell out to protect anyone’s investments.
So there you have it.

If you are going to exterminate 90% of the planets population why not experiment on the herd while you do it. Psychological experiments, physical experiments, disease resiliency, orchestrated civil unrest.. I think what we are seeing is most of these things happening now.

Here is your East-Africa and West-Asia War Map.
"You can't tell the players without a scorecard." Or a good map.
And while size matters, population often matters more, so I added this critical number to each nation.
You'll want to save this map for when the sputtering Eritrea-Ethiopia conflict blows wide open again. Ethiopia has been landlocked since 1993, with the independence of Eritrea. There are parallels to Ukraine gaining its independence from Russia with the breakup of the USSR. Like the USSR, Ethiopia was down-and-out when Eritrea became a nation, and blocked Ethiopia from the Red Sea.
Now Ethiopia is undergoing a resurgence in power and influence. Their "Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam" was built between 2011 and 2025 when it was finished. This giant dam controls the headwaters and lakes of the Blue Nile, which provides 90% of Egypt's fresh water--and the Egyptians are not happy about this new situation.
And the Ethiopians want to regain access to the sea, either across Eritrea, or by making a deal with Somalia. The national government of Somalia opposes this, so Ethiopia supports the independence of "Somaliland," as shown on the map. The Ethiopians think: "this path to independence worked for Eritrea against our interests, so why not an independent Somaliland, working in our interest?" Somaliland would create a free-trade corridor for Ethiopia to the port of Berbera.
Egypt and Sudan already worry about a resurgent Ethiopia. With the opening of the GERD dam, Ethiopia became an electrical power production giant, with the biggest hydropower dam in Africa by far. It will generate even more power as more hydro turbines are put on line.
Did I mention that Ethiopia, similar to Iran, is almost 90% food self-sufficient? Now that it controls the Blue Nile, it's food production will go up even more, while Egypt feels the threat of water cutoffs, or floods, at Ethiopia's whim.
Did I mention that Ethiopia, population 140 million, is majority Orthodox Christian, as is South Sudan, in an otherwise Muslim region?
We are all watching the Iran-USA war and the Saudi-Yemen conflict, but also keep a weather eye on the other side of the Red Sea. Egypt, population 120 million, could be dragged into wars on both sides of it.

On Piers Morgan Uncensored, The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal slammed Jacob Rees-Mogg's call for a major hike in British military spending and slashing "stupid welfare":
"When this war economy starts, and when the war actually starts, and they start tempting nuclear annihilation, it's going to be the poor and working class children who go and fight for Latvia and Estonia against Putin.
It's not going to be the children of the wealthy elite. And that's a sacrifice that Jacob is willing to make."
Blue, blue, once I was goo but now I'm through.

can stick his blue checkmark where it poos. I'm done with paying to be censored.
Two ways to be promoted on X.
Dismiss one of the popular narratives - graphene oxide, replacement migrantion, whatever the hell is going on in Israel, the latest version of the Coof story - then you will be allowed to be Whitney, Iain, or whoever.
Bail in totally to the Fed-slop army, Nick however ridiculous - clip and repeat him an you will be repaid.
The interwebs are alive with speculation about Elon Musk’s car stunt. Remember when he launched the first Tesla into Space in 2018, quipping “You can tell it’s real because it looks so fake.” And now he’s got people asking if his flying car was just an empty tin box drone..

I grew up with The Jam. Saw Paul Weller and crew many times from the late 1970s. If you have not considered the message of political music, this is where you Start.

Ancient sources like Plutarch describe institutionalized pederasty in the Spartan agoge as mentorship and bonding for military cohesion, though Xenophon denied any sexual element.
Spartans did not elevate the childless. Bachelors faced public humiliation, lost respect from youths, and were barred from certain festivals; fathers of multiple sons gained exemptions. Reproduction was a civic duty.
No modern parallel exists to a nonexistent Spartan practice.

In the ancient Spartan state, homosexuality—specifically in the form of institutionalized pederasty—played a foundational role in military training, civic education, and social cohesion.
—Google, say it ain't so!
@Grok Is there any modern-day parallel to the elevation of childless Spartans in the political class?
