Pushing toward 'suicidal conflict'

Russia is deeply alarmed about US plans to deploy thousands of additional troops to NATO's eastern flank member Poland, slamming reports out of Washington as unacceptable and portending an escalation in the Ukraine war.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a press briefing on Thursday that sending additional American soldiers to Poland "would result in escalation of tension across Europe" and that Moscow would be forced to take "retaliatory measures".

Given that some 5,000 troops are being moved there from Germany, she did acknowledge that reducing America's troop presence in Europe would overall be "rational, justified, and long-overdue" step toward stabilizing what she called an "imbalanced" security situation created by NATO and Western policies.

Comment: The Chihuahuas have been provoking Russia in Kaliningrad. What are they thinking?

Current Sith overlord and aspirational emperor of the galaxy, just a few false flags and manufactured crises away from assuming the throne, Larry Fink, recently appeared at something billed as "National Skilled Trades Day," hosted by Texas State Technical College in Waco to recruit the electricians he needs to complete the destruction of his AI Death Star.

Via Houston Chronicle:
"With data centers booming across Texas and population growth continuing steadily, BlackRock is committing $30 million to train more than 12,000 Texas workers for electrical careers.

...Formally announced Wednesday [May 6], National Skilled Trades Day, at an event hosted by Texas State Technical College in Waco. It comes as the state has assumed a central role in the nationwide race to construct data centers to support the growth of artificial intelligence and other data-heavy industries.

"The scale of growth underway in Texas demands a workforce ready to build it," said Larry Fink, chairman and CEO of BlackRock, the world's largest asset management firm, in a news release announcing the grants.

The state "sits at the center of America's infrastructure and energy buildout," noted BlackRock.

Former President Joe Biden has filed a lawsuit against the Justice Department seeking to block the release of files related to interviews he conducted with a biographer that later became a central part of a special counsel investigation into his handling of classified documents.

Biden's lawsuit filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia seeks to block the Justice Department from releasing about 70 hours of audio files and transcripts to the House Judiciary Committee from interviews with ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer that were used for his 2017 memoir "Promise Me, Dad." The interviews were conducted in 2016 and 2017.

Biden and his attorneys have long maintained that the files are exempt from the Freedom of Information Act.

The suit comes after three separate Freedom of Information Act lawsuits were previously filed attempting to unseal them.

Best of the Web: Inside the FDA's 'cover-up' of child deaths linked to Covid vaccines

In September 2025, then-US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Dr Marty Makary publicly acknowledged that the agency was investigating reports of child deaths following Covid-19 vaccination.

"We do know at the FDA...that there had been children who have died from the COVID vaccine," Makary said during a CNN interview.

By that stage, however, a fierce internal dispute had already emerged inside the FDA over what investigators believed the evidence showed — and whether the public should ever see the full findings.

"It really did feel like there was some sort of cover-up going on about the Covid-19 vaccines," said one individual familiar with the discussions.

MD Reports spoke with several current/former agency officials, advisers, and individuals briefed on the discussions, all of whom requested anonymity because they were not authorised to publicly discuss internal FDA deliberations.

At the centre of the controversy was an internal FDA review led by Dr Tracy Beth Høeg, a physician-scientist who was working as a senior scientist inside the FDA's vaccine division at the time.

FDA officials examined roughly 96 paediatric death reports submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), the government database used to detect potential vaccine-related adverse events.


Comment: MD Reports is a leading provider of electronic medical record (EMR), practice management (PM), and report writing software.

Monopoly Round-Up: Private equity blocked from buying homes - mostly.

Wall Street titans start to see their power ebb in the waning days of the Trump era, losing fights over both housing and railroad regulation.

Lots of really interesting things happened this week, which I'll put in the news round-up. There might actually be an end to the Iran conflict, the Trump White House worked with House Democrats to impose safety rules on railroads, and NextEra and Dominion Energy proposed the biggest utility merger of all time.

Before getting to all of that, I want to highlight something incredible that just happened. Based on a vote this week, it seems very likely Congress will ban corporate ownership of most existing single family homes. "People live in homes," said Trump in January. "Not corporations." While Trump has sometimes talked a big game on constraining Wall Street, he generally hasn't followed through. In this case, though, he did. And somehow, a very corporate-friendly legislature came through as well.

The Islamic terrorist conquest of West Africa

The FLA coordinates attacks with the Al Qaeda terrorist affiliate Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal Muslimin (JNIM).
The steady advance of Islamic terrorist control over territory in the Sahel could soon threaten the sovereignty of West African states on the continent's Atlantic Coast -- just across the ocean from Latin America and the United States.

It is past time for the US to take action to protect not only the vast natural resources in the area, but also to stop even more of Africa from being swallowed up by this expanding jihadist takeover.

The widened scope and quickened pace of the Islamic State's military operations in the Sahel region -- just below North Africa, roughly from Senegal to Sudan -- threatens to alter the strategic orientation of the African continent. Efforts at countering terrorist operations in the Sahel, such as they were, have evidently failed. As all roads to Mali's capital of Bamoko are now blocked, that country might be the first state to "go under."

On April 25, during a coordinated attack on several Malian cities, Muslim terrorists killed the country's Minister of Defense. The terrorists then drove the Malian Army and its allied Russian mercenaries out of the country's north.

Down, but hardly out: Massie files to run in 2028 after losing Kentucky primary

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) has filed paperwork to run again in 2028, just days after losing the Republican primary for the Kentucky House seat he has held for more than a decade.

The May 25 filing with the Federal Election Commission lists Massie, 55, as a Republican candidate for Kentucky's 4th Congressional District. Massie said the move allows him to keep raising money for his political operation while he decides what comes next.

"This allows me to raise funds to continue my political operations supporting my position as a current office holder and as a potential candidate for federal office," Massie wrote in a post on X. "I haven't made a final decision about which office to seek, if I run."

Comment: Excellent. It will be fun to see the Jewish billionaires drop another $35M+ trying to defeat Massie in whatever office he may choose to run for. Except next time, everyone will be hip to the AIPAC/SuperPac game. Even more so probably after whatever disasters the sock-puppet Gallrein inflicts on the state.

SOTT Focus: Fun with AI #7: Grok Meets High Strangeness - Ancient Gnosis, Musk's Simulation, and the Cosmic Farm

When Cassiopaean cosmology collides with Plato, Paul, Langan's CTMU, and Elon Musk's transhumanist vision. What emerges is equal parts revelation and red flag

philosophy gnosis cosmos grok
In my last post, I gave my entire book, "High Strangeness", to Grok for review and analysis. At the end, I promised that my next post - this post - would be a continuation of that discussion because it did get VERY interesting. Hopefully, you have read the previous post and are now ready to see where I went with it.

This conversation looks at ancient parallels with Plato's Cave, Gnostic archons, and the Apostle Paul's "principalities in high places". You will see that all three align strikingly with the Cassiopaean framework. I then compare it to Chris Langan's self-referential universe, Elon Musk's simulation hypothesis and Neuralink dreams, and even Donald Trump's pragmatic disclosure push. Surprisingly, Grok suggests that some of today's most ambitious tech visionaries may be doubling down on the very control system they claim to escape.

First, I want to bring your attention to a recent post on X about Elon Musk's goals for humanity.


You will see shortly what that has to do with my exchange with Grok about "High Strangeness". My next query was: "I wonder if the works of any ancient philosophers, or even the Apostle Paul, could be found supportive?" (Of the Cassiopaean Cosmology in "High Strangeness".)

Iraq at the crossroads: Israel, covert operations, and the struggle for sovereignty

Iraq is no longer just a battlefield — it's becoming Israel's hidden launchpad against Iran, exposing Baghdad's weak sovereignty and dangerous double game. If Iraq fails to shut down foreign covert operations now, it risks turning itself into the next front line of a catastrophic regional war.

Israel's expansionist aims in the Middle East have altered the political and security landscape of the region. Whatever the US is doing in the region is directly linked to advancing the aims and interests of its long-standing ally. Libya, Iraq, Syria, and now Iran have been victims of direct US-Israeli aggression. The ongoing US-Iran tensions have also started to heighten once again. Right after Trump's historic visit to China, the threat of war once again looms over the region.

Although Xi Jinping treated the US president with the utmost respect, China remains wary of Trump's next steps and has not changed its stance with regard to the situation in Iran. In the meantime, an intelligence report is being made public that has exposed the deep penetration of Israel's security forces in the Middle East, instigating tensions and chaos in different states. This time, the host was Iraq, and the target was Iran. Be it a security breach or covert compliance, Iraq is once again emerging as an active participant in the US-Iran war.

A breakdown of the military options, escalation risks, and political consequences.

The Caribbean is beginning to smell like war. As Washington tightens its sanctions noose around Cuba, deploys additional military assets to the region, and increasingly resorts to the language of ultimatums, media outlets and policy circles have started seriously discussing the possibility of direct US intervention on the island. The trigger has not only been a fresh wave of accusations against Raúl Castro and the highly publicized appearance of the USS Nimitz carrier strike group off Cuba's coast, but also the broader logic of escalation itself: an energy blockade, rhetoric about a so-called 'drone threat', and a growing perception that the Trump administration sees Cuba as the next target of its hard-power foreign policy.
