You can't make this up: just a couple weeks after the nation remembered the 24th anniversary of 9/11 attacks, Al Qaeda is back in New York, but this time its Syrian founder is getting the red carpet treatment.

Self-appointed Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa, whose al-Qaeda and ISIS name is Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, will attend the meeting on the UN General Assembly (UNGA), the first Syrian president to do so since 1967.

"The visit marks a major diplomatic moment for Damascus as it returns to the UN stage at the head-of-state level for the first time after nearly six decades," Syria's state-run SANA stated.

Comment: Syria now is a permanently broken state as the PTB wish it to be.

German election turns into farce after leading candidate from the AfD banned from running, only 29% of voters participate in Ludwigshafen

© Uwe Anspach/dp21 September 2025, Rhineland-Palatinate, Ludwigshafen: Joachim Paul (AfD) stands in the Wilhelm Hack Museum during the announcement of the results of the mayoral election.
Germany's left have long claimed that the Alternative for Germany (AfD) is a threat to democracy, and due to this claim, they argue the party should be banned entirely. Although banning parties is typically reserved for authoritarian regimes, this outcome remains a very real possibility in Germany, and a local election in the city of Ludwigshafen just showed what such an outcome could look like in practice.

Incredibly, the main candidate for the AfD, Joachim Paul, was banned from running in the mayoral election. The method used to ban him could become widespread and now represent — despite what the left claims — the true threat to democracy in Germany.

Using an expert opinion from the powerful domestic spy agency, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), commissioned by Social Democrat (SPD)-led Interior Minister of Rhineland-Palantinate, Paul was banned through the courts. It was a backdoor method that three separate courts upheld after numerous appeals by the AfD" 's lawyers.


Comment: Protecting democracy by banning opposition candidates. Sounds like Ukraine or Moldova or Romania yet election interference is rife in the Western world, with ballot stuffing or vote rigging.


Comment: When a pathocratic rule comes into power as Germany is just one example of, then those pathological deviants will not relinquish their power willingly though they will use paramoralistic terms such as "protecting democracy" or "national security" to create a veneer of legimaticy to their continued rule.

Anti-government protests in Georgia are being financed by foreign intelligence services seeking to stage a coup similar to Ukraine's 2014 uprising, Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze claimed on Monday.

Tbilisi has faced pressure from Western governments and domestic demonstrations over its perceived drift from the post-Soviet republic's European Union integration path. At a press conference, Kobakhidze compared the situation to the Euromaidan protests in Kiev as he criticized opposition parties.

"Foreign agents won't stage a revolution in Georgia, we won't allow that," the prime minister said.

"All this is financed by foreign special services, as with the Maidan. Recall how the Maidan protests were financed and how it ended for Ukraine. Ukrainian statehood has collapsed. Ukraine endured two wars after that revolution financed by foreign special services," he added.

Comment: Georgia has a stubborn problem of dealing with unwelcomed guests.

Putin declares Russia willing to extend New Start nuclear treaty

Russia is prepared to continue abiding by the New START treaty on nuclear arms for one year even after it expires next February, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said.

Speaking at a meeting with the permanent members of Russia's Security Council on Monday, Putin said that due to the hostile and destructive steps taken by the West in recent years, the foundations of constructive relations and cooperation between nuclear-armed states have been significantly undermined.

"Step by step, the system of Soviet-American and Russian-American agreements on nuclear missile and strategic defensive arms control was almost completely dismantled," Putin said. He stressed that the systems of agreements between Russia and the US, who possess the two largest nuclear arsenals in the world, long served as a stabilizing factor and contributed to global stability and international security.

Comment: The West, led by the U.S. has let lapse or systematically trashed every arms limitation treaty painstakingly built up since the 1970s. What does it say about Russia and the US, when Putin brings up something that is completely ignored in the West. A new arms race would be suicide.

Google vowed on Tuesday to offer YouTube accounts that were permanently banned for political speech the ability to be reinstated, and the big tech giant admitted that it once faced pressure from the Biden administration to remove content about COVID-19.

Google detailed its remarkable shift in a document, first obtained by Fox News Digital, that a lawyer for the company provided to the House Judiciary Committee.

The new policy from Google, also known by its parent company Alphabet, could affect both average users and well-known figures like FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, White House counterterrorism chief Sebastian Gorka and "War Room" podcast host Steve Bannon, all of whom were permanently banned in recent years for COVID-19 or election-related content.

"Reflecting the Company's commitment to free expression, YouTube will provide an opportunity for all creators to rejoin the platform if the company terminated their channels for repeated violations of COVID-19 and elections integrity policies that are no longer in effect," the lawyer representing Google wrote.

The military bloc's forces are being concentrated near the border with the post-Soviet state, Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service has claimed

European NATO countries are preparing for a military intervention in Moldova, according to Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR). The agency warned that "eurocrats" in Brussels intend to ensure that Chisinau continues to pursue anti-Russian policies, and will go as far as to "occupy" Moldova after upcoming parliamentary elections.

In a press release on Monday, the SVR stated it had observed European NATO forces being concentrated in Romania near the border with Moldova, and further claimed that they are preparing to deploy to Odessa Region in Ukraine to intimidate Moldova's breakaway region of Transnistria. It added that military servicemen from France and the UK have already arrived in Odessa.

Comment: Moldova has been on the NATO agenda for a long time. The legal presence of Russian troops in the culturally-Russian province of Transnistria is a big part of that.

SOTT Focus: TPUSA Insider: Ultra-Zionist Billionaire Robert Shillman Ended Financial Support For Kirk in Days Before Assassination

Comment: Shillman, really?!

Ultra-Zionist billionaire Robert Shillman was one of Charlie Kirk's most committed donors. But as Kirk fell under attack for his increasingly critical Israel views during his final weeks, sources say Shillman ended funding for TPUSA. As his campus tour approached, Kirk was subjected to an "almost daily" lobbying campaign from Netanyahu's allies.

The Turning Point USA campus in Phoenix, Arizona is the house that Charlie Kirk built. Consisting of six sterile, two-floor office buildings, the campus is itself a tribute to the ultra-wealthy donors who placed the 31-year-old Kirk at the helm of a political empire whose combined annual assets exceeded the municipal budget of a typical small American city.

The outgoing Head of MI6 Richard Moore has formally admitted in a public speech in Istanbul that MI6 has been cooperating with HTS in Syria - a proscribed organisation under the Terrorism Act - for years.

The government is arresting little old ladies for holding signs supporting one proscribed organisation, Palestine Action, while it admits it has been actively supporting another proscribed organisation. HTS was proscribed as a division of Al Qaida, as shown on the government website:

As I learnt while in Lebanon, the British support for HTS included intelligence support, training and weapons, based at secret UK bases in the Bekaa valley, including inside the Rayak airbase. It also included support via an NGO named Inter-Mediate, run by current British National Security Adviser Jonathan Powell, who is Tony Blair's old Downing Street Chief of Staff.

Secret Service dismantles weaponized SIM farms designed to "shut down" NYC cell networks

Hours before President Donald Trump's address to the United Nations General Assembly, the U.S. Secret Service announced that it had dismantled a massive, decentralized SIM farm network, just 35 miles from New York City, hidden inside five abandoned apartment buildings. The telecommunications stealth weapon was capable of paralyzing regional cell networks through denial-of-service attacks.

Key Details from the Secret Service Report:
Investigators seized 300 SIM servers and 100,000 SIM cards across multiple sites.

The devices enabled anonymous threats, encrypted communications, and could launch telecom attacks such as:
  • Disabling cell towers
  • Denial-of-service attacks
  • Secure communication for criminal enterprises
Early analysis shows links between nation-state actors and known criminals.
CBS News described the seizure as the largest of its kind, noting the network was scattered across abandoned apartment buildings at more than five sites, roughly 35 miles from New York City.

Comment: Who has means, motive, influence and savvy to create a skyscraper-magnitude threat in NYC in September?

A crisis of support: Israel's current policy is eroding its traditional alliance with the U.S.

In late August 2025, Donald Trump shocked the political establishment with a candid interview with the Daily Caller.

The president's words exposed a deep rift in U.S.-Israeli relations, signaling not just a shift but a veritable collapse of what was once America's unwavering support for Israel. A central theme was Tel Aviv's growing isolation, driven by its genocidal war and destructive policies in the occupied Palestinian territories.

The Decline of an All-Powerful Lobby: Congress Is No Longer Afraid to Criticize Israel

President Donald Trump stated with striking bluntness that the influence of the Israel lobby in Washington, long the gold standard of political power, has sharply declined. He recalled its "unprecedented" strength, unmatched by any other foreign nation or corporation, but conceded ruefully: "Today, it doesn't have that strong of a lobby." This statement, made in the interview, sounds like a verdict for organizations like AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee), which for decades ensured Israel was immune from criticism and guaranteed a seamless flow of American aid.

AIPAC's power was so formidable that, according to political scientists John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt in their landmark book The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy (2007), the committee successfully suppressed almost any open debate about U.S. policy in the Middle East. A prime example was the pressure on former President Jimmy Carter after he published his book Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid. At that time, AIPAC members and affiliated groups unanimously condemned Carter, and several members of the board of trustees of his own presidential center resigned in protest.

Comment: Knowledge is everyone's responsibility. It could be any of us tomorrow.
