"The second-order and third-order damages of RussiaGate are incalculable. A murder of American democracy was committed."
— Mike Benz on "X"
Surely you've noticed the ominous cone of silence around the DOJ and the FBI as rumors of "accountability" mount against well-known figures who used government to make war against its own citizens. That is exactly what happened, by the way, in case you're baffled by the news. The agencies aren't leaking this time, especially not to the mendacious scribes that infest The New York Times and The WashPo, who function as vanguard to the corps of traitors in the rogue fourth branch of government called the Blob. So, the silence begs you to ask: Are they doing anything in there?

Yes, they are making cases. And they are not yapping idly about it in the news, legacy or alt. They are preparing evidence for grand juries that will decide if probable cause exists to indict those well-known figures — several of whom have become cable news performers, foolishly, if obliquely, advertising their own culpability for years now. You'll just have to wait, though perhaps not for long. It is August, after all, the horse latitudes* of the year when things go still.

In major shift, Germany ends arms exports to Israel amid Netanyahu's Gaza takeover plan

Chancellor Friedrich Merz bans shipments of military equipment that could be used in Gaza.

Germany has announced it will halt approval of weapons exports to Israel for use in the Gaza Strip "until further notice," marking a sharp policy shift for one of Israel's staunchest allies. Chancellor Friedrich Merz made the declaration yesterday after weeks of publicly criticising Israel's "unclear" goals in Gaza and expressing concern over the worsening humanitarian crisis, though until now he had avoided altering policy.

The decision followed intense domestic debate over how to respond to credible reports of widespread malnutrition and even starvation in Gaza. The immediate trigger was Israel's decision yesterday to step up military operations in the territory and take over Gaza City.

Merz said the new offensive, approved by the Israeli cabinet, made it "increasingly difficult" to see how Israel could achieve its stated aims of disarming Hamas and freeing the remaining 50 hostages. He affirmed Germany's commitment to those objectives but stressed that a ceasefire and relief for civilians were top priorities. He also urged Israel to halt any moves towards annexing parts of the West Bank.

Zelensky's inner circle funneled millions to the Middle East - report

The alleged corruption scheme involves monthly transfers of $50 million to UAE-based companies linked to a former Ukrainian state official

The entourage of Ukraine's Vladimir Zelensky transfers $50 million every month to bank accounts belonging to two companies based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the Turkish newspaper Aydınlık reported on Monday. The funneled money was reportedly obtained through corruption.

Graft has remained one of the most pressing challenges facing Ukraine. Brussels has repeatedly suggested adopting stronger anti-corruption measures as a precondition for EU membership.

According to the publication, the tens of millions are reportedly transferred to the accounts of GFM Investment Group and Gmyrin Family Holding. The companies are said to be linked to a former advisor to the Ukraine State Property Fund, Andrey Gmyrin, who allegedly manages the money.

The Netanyahu cabinet's plan to take over Gaza City shows contempt for international law, Moscow's deputy envoy to the UN has said

Israel is ignoring the lessons of the Holocaust and violating international law with its plan to seize Gaza City, Russia's first deputy permanent representative to the UN, Dmitry Polyansky, has warned.

The diplomat spoke at an emergency UN Security Council meeting on Sunday, convened after West Jerusalem approved the takeover - a move that has drawn global criticism.

The Bear and the Eagle face-off in Alaska

All eyes on Alaska. The Bear-Eagle face-off is part of an astonishing acceleration of history in the summer of 2025.

Two weeks after Alaska, there's the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) annual summit in Tianjin, China. India's Narendra Modi and Iran's Masoud Pezeshkian will join, among others, Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin at the same table. A BRICS/SCO table.

September 3, in Beijing, is the 80th anniversary of what is officially defined as the victory of "the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War". Putin is the guest of honor. The rehearsal, with 22,000 participants, took place this past weekend in Tian'anmen Square.

On the same day, in Russia's Vladivostok, it's the start of the Eastern Economic Forum, which discusses everything about Russia's drive to develop the Arctic and eastern Siberia - the equivalent of the Chinese "Go West" campaign started in the late 1990s. Key Eurasian players will be in the house. Putin addresses the plenary session on September 5.

Top BRICS leaders of China, Russia, Brazil and India, meanwhile, are actively involved in a flurry of phone calls coordinating a collective response to the tariff wars - part of the hybrid war by the Empire of Chaos against BRICS and the Global South.

© ReutersPresident Donald Trump speaks to the press, accompanied by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, about deploying federal law enforcement agents to bolster the local police presence, at the White House, in Washington, Aug. 11, 2025.
'Any comparison to a war-torn country is hyperbolic and false,' Washington's Mayor Muriel Bowser said Sunday

President Donald Trump announced Monday that he is activating approximately 800 National Guard troops and is taking over the Metropolitan Police Department to tackle crime in Washington, after beefing up federal law enforcement presence in the nation's capital Saturday.

"I'm deploying the National Guard to help reestablish law, order and public safety in Washington, DC," Trump told reporters at a Monday press conference. "And they're going to be allowed to do their job properly."

Trump also said that he would federalize the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington to respond to crime, placing it under the authority of Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Comment: The beleaguered residents of DC will finally get a break?

Full text:

My security camera will show you what life was like for a family living in DC:

Here's a mass shooting and murder in my front lawn, followed by my house being set on fire with my wife and infant child inside.

These are regular occurrences for DC residents.

I lived just a few blocks from the US Capitol. There were open drug deals and arms deals constantly outside my house. My family was threatened on a near daily basis. Racist epitaphs were hurled at my wife and infant children. Rocks were thrown at us as we walked down the street. We were constantly targeted for being white in a "black neighborhood." No one gave a sh*t. Judges and cops saw us as the problem. When DC Defunded their police, the city turned into a deadly war zone. Every resident was terrorized.

DC is a failed state. DC home rule is a mistake. The worst, most entitled racists living off your tax dollars and desecrating our nations Capital. Turning the 'Seat of Western Civilization' into a deadly welfare narco-state. Entire neighborhoods need to be cleared out and bulldozed.

This can't happen soon enough. Every American must support Trump federalizing the city and martial law as a point of American Pride. Restore the Seat of Western Civilization

The war without end in Gaza

Israel's latest plan to occupy Gaza City reveals that the assault on Gaza is more than just a war over territory. It is a war to extend, suspend, and dictate the tempo of killing and destruction - to exhaust Gaza into submission.

It appears that Israel has descended into a state of unrestrained hubrisrelentlessly inaugurating and re-inaugurating military campaigns in Gaza, each one collapsing into the next in an almost mechanical cycle, as though strategy itself has been subsumed by the imperative to project force without respite. Since the genocide's inception on October 7th, these have included a succession of named operations — Iron Swords, Guardian of the Walls, Shield and Arrow, and Gideon's Chariots — each framed as a discrete phase but unified in their genocidal logic and cumulative devastation. One need only look to the manifold and vile forms through which Israel enacts its daily massacres in the Gaza Strip: massacres at aid distribution sites, massacres executed through standoff fire, and massacres wrought from the air.

Yet these acts of violence unfold not only across space, but within a carefully controlled temporal horizon. The longer Israel's operations persist, the more Gaza's homes are reduced to rubble. The extensive use of bulldozers and the wholesale destruction of entire districts have already transformed vast areas into wasteland, yet, in Israel's calculus, much remains to be done. This relentless devastation is not incidental — it is woven into the very logic of the war, a war narrated in the grammar of space: "phases" and "sectors," "secured" streets, and deliberate advances southward.

Comment: This is a brilliant analysis on the mechanisms of Israel's war on Gaza: exposing its structure of human annihilation without limits or consequence, timed to do the most damage and extract the supreme price.

Kaliningrad gambit: NATO's last desperate bluff/spark for World War III?

Red arrows map

With Ukraine's defences collapsing and Russia gaining the upper hand, NATO's provocative focus on Kaliningrad risks triggering a nuclear escalation that could end any remaining prospects for diplomacy.

As many foresaw, the situation for Ukraine's Western-backed proxy regime is unraveling fast. Russian forces are pushing forward with increasing momentum — Chasov Yar has reportedly fallen, and Pokrovsk and Kostiantynivka facing operational encirclement. The Eastern Front may soon collapse entirely.

Kiev appears outgunned and undermanned, the result of Russia's grinding attritional strategy — high firepower, low casualties — not the reckless assault tactics portrayed in Western media.

In response, Washington is shifting gears — talking nuclear subs and floating threats against Kaliningrad, Russia's fortified Baltic enclave, a move that may only harden Moscow's resolve — and shift the conflict into a far more dangerous phase.

Comment: The danger of ignorance does not last long.

Zionism won't stop, the Arab world must collapse

Greater Israel map

In Greater Israel, there can only be Israeli Zionism.
Christianity and Islam must first be exploited, then banned.

The plan is clear

Four weeks after the signing of the Abraham Accords — signed on September 15, 2020, with U.S. mediation and involving the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain — Israeli urban planning authorities authorized the construction of 4,948 new homes in the occupied territories of the West Bank. No significant public statements, no troop movements: just bureaucratic approvals marking a further step in the expansion of Israel's presence. This advance, shrouded in the rhetoric of 'peace', took place in silence, reflecting a well-established approach: proceed with normalization when the region is compliant and intensify colonization when international attention wanes.

This logic is rooted in the expansionist model of Zionism: where possible, military force is used; where this is not convenient or feasible, soft penetration is used in the form of security agreements, economic cooperation, and intelligence alliances. This dual strategy — based on physical conquest and hegemonic consolidation — has been in place since 1967 and today extends unchecked from the Jordan River to the Atlantic Ocean.

Let us be clear: the Zionist project, in all its aspects, will not stop. The Arab world represents an obstacle to the construction of Greater Israel and the manifestation of Zionist hegemony.

Comment: Boiling frogs? Israel's exclusivism has been front and center, cunningly hidden in plain sight. We look no farther than the lies we want to hear.

Vice President Vance said Sunday he wants peace and to stop funding the Ukraine war, ahead of a Friday meeting in Alaska between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss a ceasefire deal.

"We're done with the funding of the Ukraine war business. We want to bring about a peaceful settlement to this thing," Vance told Fox News's Maria Bartiromo on "Sunday Morning Futures."

In Alaska, the Trump administration hopes for a breakthrough in peace negotiations with Moscow and a discussion around territorial acquisitions.
