They were intercepted by hostile foreign country's spyservice

Trump's former National Security Advisor John Bolton transmitted classified emails over a private server system and they were intercepted by a hostile foreign country's spy service, according to a leak to The New York Times.

As reported last week, John Bolton is reportedly under investigation for violating the Espionage Act, according to The New York Times.

"The investigation into whether John Bolton, President Trump's former national security adviser, mishandled classified information is trying to determine if he violated certain sections of the Espionage Act, which makes it a crime to illegally retain or transmit national defense information, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss details of the case," The New York Times reported.

Comment: The Last Refuge reports:
Once again, the narratives of the professional fake-news media collapse.

[...]

Conservative Tree House has previously outlined how John Bolton's business model was essentially selling information and influence. This common DC business model seems to have formed the baseline for him to share sensitive, possibly classified information, of greater value. This does not come as a surprise.

Selling information is the currency of affluence in Washington DC. That's why the removal of security clearances is looked upon as devastating within the beltway.

[...]

At the time of the raid, we noted the activity of Bolton mirrors that of former Senator John McCain (now dead). "An FBI investigation under the auspices of potential violations of the Espionage Act, where Bolton would have leveraged current or prior classified intelligence information as part of his influence business.

Almost identically to former Senator John McCain, John Bolton was well known to intersect with the nation of Qatar as part of his operation. Qatar has deep pockets and a long-identified influence operation throughout the Middle East, sometimes playing both sides. Qatar is also the playground for the CIA.

While it is yet unknown which nation and which activity Bolton was likely engaged in, the highest probability centers around the deepest pockets, which would also put Bolton on the CIA radar.

Since initially writing that outline, someone noticed this video from John McCain's funeral.

WATCH CLOSELY:


Something is being given to John Bolton in that video. Something from Mouaz Moustafa, Syrian Emergency Task Force (SETF) and Senator John McCain's intermediary to the Muslim Brotherhood. {Go Deep}

If I had to guess, from the position of Moustafa and those behind him (Muslim Brotherhood/Qatar), John Bolton became the replacement for John McCain after the senator's death. We wait to find out the details of the predicate for the FBI raid.

Department of Health & Human Services announced on X late Wednesday that Susan Monarez, the first Senate-confirmed director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is "no longer director of the CDC."

Monarez appears to have been ousted after a month on the job, which sparked the resignation of four other senior CDC officials.

According to a New York Times report, Monarez "clashed with the secretary over vaccine policy," which ultimately led to her firing.

Hours after HHS' X post, attorneys Mark Zaid and Abbe Lowell wrote on the social media platform that Monarez "has neither resigned nor received notification from the White House that she has been fired, and as a person of integrity and devoted to science, she will not resign."

Unaudited power: The military budget nobody controls

The U.S. federal debt has now passed $37 trillion and is growing at the rate of $1 trillion every five months. Interest on the debt exceeds $1 trillion annually, second only to Social Security in the federal budget. The military outlay is also close to $1 trillion, consuming nearly half of the discretionary budget.

As a sovereign nation, the United States could avoid debt altogether by simply paying for the budget deficit with Treasury-issued "Greenbacks," as Abraham Lincoln's government did. But I have written on that before (see here and here), so this article will focus on that other elephant in the room, the Department of Defense.

Under the Constitution, the military budget should not be paid at all, because the Pentagon has never passed an audit. Expenditures of public funds without a public accounting violate Article 1, Section 9, Clause 7 of the Constitution, which provides:
"No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time."
The Pentagon failed its seventh financial audit in 2024, with 63% of its $4.1 trillion in assets — approximately $2.58 trillion — untracked. From 1998 to 2015, it failed to account for $21 trillion in spending.

Comment: If we the people knew...would we fund it? A long but very insightful reveal.

Germany's declaration to stop sending weapons to Israel: symbolic gesture or major shift?

Germany's declaration to stop sending weapons to Israel: symbolic gesture or major shift?

While German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's announcement on Friday, August 8 to halt arms deliveries to Israel grabbed international headlines as a shocking policy reversal, the declaration's fine print tells a different story. What appeared to be a major shift in Germany's support for Israel's genocide in Gaza may prove largely symbolic, with crucial loopholes that allow German companies to continue to profit from the atrocities in Gaza.

The devil lies in the details that most media coverage overlooked. According to media organization Jung und Naiv, the government's statement apparently applies only to future contracts, leaving existing export permits uncanceled — a crucial caveat also noted by Oded Yaron in Haaretz. This means the vast majority of German weapons flowing to Israel will continue uninterrupted.

Merz qualified his statement by saying only weapons used in Gaza would be stopped, while Germany continues broader military cooperation. This became immediately apparent: on the same day as Merz's declaration, German arms company ThyssenKrupp announced at its shareholder meeting that the German government had issued the second export license for INS Drakon, the final submarine in Israel's fleet, which is sold for about 500 million Euros.

Comment: Merz is 'in it' for the long haul. But the winds of change may soon kick up a storm. Is Germany prepared for blowback?

Turkey says Israel should be suspended from UN General Assembly

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Monday urged Islamic nations to work toward suspending Israel from participating in United Nations General Assembly meetings and activities.

Speaking at an emergency summit of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) foreign ministers held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Fidan said that Palestinians needed collective action to end Israel's genocide in Gaza and settler violence in the occupied West Bank.

"This meeting will focus on three urgent tasks: halting the war, forging a united response of the Islamic Ummah, and mobilising the international community."

Fidan stressed that Israel's "genocidal aggression" continues in Gaza, where half a million people face catastrophic hunger, adding that the UN has now officially declared famine in the territory.
"Hamas has already accepted a ceasefire plan proposed by Qatar and Egypt, yet the Israeli government still seeks the erasure of Palestine.

"Therefore, we must join our efforts in sustaining and expanding the momentum for Palestine's recognition, while also launching an initiative within the UN for Palestine's full membership - and considering the suspension of Israel from the work of the General Assembly."

Comment: Turkey to follow The Hague Group's measures against Israel to stop the genocide:
Turkey on Tuesday said it was taking six measures against Israel, following commitments agreed earlier this month by a cohort of countries seeking to stop the Israeli war on Gaza.

By endorsing The Hague Group's joint statement from the Bogota Emergency Conference on Palestine, Turkey has become the first country to sign on to the commitments since the summit on 16 July. The Bogota summit culminated in a joint declaration by states demanding international sanctions against Israel and legal accountability for what participants described as "grave violations of international law" in Gaza.

The six measures include:
Suspending military exports to Israel, refusing the transit of Israeli weapons through their ports and airspace, and reviewing all public contracts to prevent state institutions and pension funds from supporting Israeli companies or the occupation of Palestinian territories.

They also included a vow to actively support universal jurisdiction cases and International Criminal Court (ICC) warrants to pursue accountability for alleged war crimes.
"We support the Hague Group's righteous call for upholding international law and announcing measures against Israel for its violations."

A date has been set for 20 September 2025, coinciding with the 80th UN General Assembly, for additional states to join them in adopting the measures.

The Hague Group is a bloc of eight states - Bolivia, Colombia, Cuba, Honduras, Malaysia, Namibia, Senegal and South Africa - launched on 31 January in the eponymous Dutch city with the stated goal of holding Israel accountable under international law.

Federal land ownership hampers Native prosperity

Native Americans live amid vast natural wealth, yet their communities are among the poorest in the United States. This paradox is not the result of a lack of ambition or ability, but a consequence of decades of federal policies that treat native peoples, not as equal citizens, but as wards of the state. The paternalism embedded in the federal trust doctrine has crippled economic development, discouraged investment, and stifled individual initiative. To unlock the full potential of Indian Country, the federal government must fundamentally reorient its relationship with native communities by restoring property rights, promoting economic freedom, and enabling energy independence.

FDA restricts access to COVID vaccines for healthy adults and kids — RFK touts 'science, safety, and common sense'

The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday restricted access to COVID-19 vaccines by ending their emergency authorization and refining eligibility standards to exclude most healthy adults and children.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a skeptic of vaccine safety, said in a statement that new policies were rooted in "science, safety, and common sense."

Under the new rules, people over age 65 will remain eligible to get the vaccines, but younger adults and children will need to establish they have an underlying condition such as asthma or obesity that puts them at higher risk of serious illness.

Comment: The so-called vaccine has killed, and continues to kill, far more people than the virus itself. Numerous papers and studies now clearly show how dangerous the COVID-19 mRNA shot is.

Trump calls for George Soros and son Alex to be charged under RICO for funding "violent protests, and much more"

President Trump on Wednesday called for far-left billionaire George Soros and his son, Alex Soros, to be charged under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) for funding and supporting violent far-left rioters.

Soros and his Open Society Foundations have funneled money to and bankrolled many dark money projects and radical left movements to destabilize conservative governments and place radical left globalists in power. He is also the puppet master behind the lawfare against Trump, election interference, and chaos across the country.

Notably, the Jewish billionaire has funded countless instances of violent riots, including anti-Israel movements, Black Lives Matter, and other leftist projects.

Soros-funded Texas Majority PAC (TMP) is also under investigation for illegally funding Texas Democrats who fled the state earlier this month to stop mid-term redistricting, the Gateway Pundit reported.

Comment: Soros has been stirring political pots all over the world for most of his life, and making tidy profits as he goes. The man is a megalomanic, unfortunately with the means and connections to indulge his destructive dreams. If RICO is the way to stop him, charges can't come quick enough.

Warning

Myanmar is shaping up to be the next front of the Sino-US new cold war

China wants to retain access to Kachin State's rare earths, the US wants to poach them, and their escalating competition over this part of Myanmar could make it the next New Cold War flashpoint.

Reuters reported that the US' Myanmar policy might shift towards more diplomatic engagement with either the ruling junta or the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) in an attempt to obtain access to the enormous rare earth mineral reserves in the second's eponymous state. At present, the US is suspected of clandestinely supporting some of the armed anti-junta groups, but the KIA isn't thought to have benefited due to their isolated position along Myanmar's mountainous border with China and India.

This geography poses a challenge to the redirection of these resources from China to India for example regardless of Kachin State's final political status, whether autonomous within a (con)federated Myanmar or independent, but that's assuming that China doesn't intervene. Reuters cited an expert on Kachin State who said that "If they want to transport the rare earths from these mines, which are all on the Chinese border, to India, there's only one road.
And the Chinese would certainly step in and stop it."

Comment: The price of greed is rising.

President Trump should return to an "America First" foreign policy

America first
© adobe stock
After four years of unnecessarily confrontational foreign policy under President Biden, Americans elected Donald Trump in part for his promise to put America first at home and overseas. He promised a war-weary America that he would start no new wars and would get us out of the existing ones. Eight months into his second Administration it appears his promise remains to be fulfilled, as his approval rating continues to slip.

On Ukraine, President Trump wisely observed coming into office that the conflict is "Joe Biden's war" not his own. Unfortunately he could not resist the temptation to get involved in the conflict, even under the guise of "peacemaker." I've often said that getting out of conflicts overseas is not that complicated: we should just come home. Even when there are no troops involved, "just come home" means disengage from the conflict. But President Trump wants to play referee in the war while arming and supporting one side. Is it any wonder he is making no progress in ending the war?

Comment: America can always count on Ron Paul: wise, soft-spoken, inevitably right.
