Most notably, Islam and its effects on Classical Civilization, and various forms of leftism from Soviet era communism, to postmodernism and all the flavours of galloping statism and totalitarianism such as Nazism and Fascism which are increasingly snuffing out the classical liberalism which created our near, miraculous civilization the West has been building since the time of Socrates.

Looking back, after the smoke has cleared from whatever big event our bones tell us is coming, we will see that we were subjected to basic principles–these being those rules of life that don’t seem to change much over time.
The information battle space showed us that it was, basically, meant to divide us to conquer us. The oldest trick in the book. The more we fought among each other, the better nefarious actors were able to hide their bad deeds.
This meant those closest to the printing press became obscenely rich at the expense of the quickly-diminishing middle-class. The bankers, politicians and largest shareholders of the most politically-connected companies took fiat windfalls and quickly converted them into hard assets.
Inventions for the purpose of division, this time around, were a staged pandemic, the war in Ukraine, anthropogenic climate change, anthropogenic mass migration, sexual dysphoria, and most anything else that slut media pushed hard. Slut media. Kinda catchy. So long as it stoked our bickering we were not blaming the white-collar crooks.
Hindsight revealed there was ample evidence to support the idea that those at the top were quite possibly legitimate psychopaths, or at least sociopaths. It did not matter how many people they killed because there was no culpable guilt in statistics. Ask Fauci.
Basic principles meant every 80 years the cycle of life partially erased living memory so that we could repeat some if our past mistakes. This meant–set your watches–it was time once again to blame the Jews for everything. Why? Because Somalis don’t own boats.
As an aside I find it poetic that in a little over 80-years of living one of the planet’s most brilliant minds, George Soros, finds his life and legacy under new scrutiny. This goes to show the inescapable certainty of basic principles vis-a-vis life cycles.
The 80-year life cycle also kicked away the fallen leaves hiding real money, revealing gold and silver’s reason for being. This better laid bare the confusing explanation of how it is that inflation is a hidden tax on the middle class. Inflation, since it can only be created by government printing press, is intentional. By the end of the day inflation moves hard assets from the middle-class to the one percent, intentionally. This is a very sneaky tax, indeed, and it is always intentional.
Interestingly, at the very periphery of our Western civilization forest, a little drama of no consequence to most played out with increasing amplitude, because it was so close to us and yet so far. A little porcupine surrounded by wolves argued for its own survival:

BREAKING: CHRIS WRAY LIED UNDER OATH! FBI Had 275 Plainclothes Agents in the Crowd on January 6th – IT WAS A TOTAL FEDSURRECTION

Former FBI Director Chris Wray lied to Congress and the American people when he said under oath that there were no FBI agents undercover on January 6. – Congressional video
It appears that James Comey could have a familiar cellmate when he is finally sent to prison for lying under oath to Congress and the American people.
Former FBI Director Chris Wray lied and lectured House Republicans for accusing the FBI of planting informants/operatives/agents inside the massive crowd of Trump supporters on January 6, 2021.
In a bold statement that directly contradicts multiple official sources, FBI Director Christopher Wray testified before Congress in July 2023 that he “does not believe” undercover FBI agents were present at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Wray’s statement came during a tense exchange with Representative Andy Biggs (R-AZ), who specifically asked about the number of undercover agents in the Capitol vicinity on the infamous day.
Wray stated that he could not provide such a figure and even expressed doubt about the presence of undercover agents at all.
“I’m not sure there were undercover agents on scene,” Wray responded to Biggs. “As I sit here right now, I do not believe there were undercover agents on.”
Biggs wrote on Twitter that “Wray will be held accountable for this lie.”
“FBI Director Wray just told me he “does not believe” there were any undercover FBI agents in or around the U.S. Capitol on January 6. This claim has been already debunked—including by the former U.S. Capitol Police Chief,” Biggs added.

The Director’s statement is in stark contrast to facts previously revealed by the Washington D.C. FBI Field Office. According to their confirmed reports, a number of undercover officers, confidential informants, and FBI assets were indeed present at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th.
On Thursday night, the FBI finally acknowledged it had 275 plainclothes agents in the massive crowds on Jan. 6, 2021. This was hundreds more than was previously reported.
The Blaze reported:
A senior congressional source said the number is not necessarily a surprise, since the FBI often embeds countersurveillance personnel at large events.
But given the FBI’s until-now steadfast refusal to disclose the level of its presence at the Capitol, the figure might still be viewed with skepticism in some quarters.
The news comes in the wake of claims by the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Inspector General that the FBI had no undercover personnel in the Jan. 6 crowds.
“We found no evidence in the materials we reviewed or the testimony we received showing or suggesting that the FBI had undercover employees in the various protest crowds, or at the Capitol, on January 6,” the DOJ OIG said in an 88-page report released in December 2024.
As the Gateway Pundit as previously reported — Dozens if not hundreds of government operatives infiltrated the protests at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
The Gateway Pundit previously identified 20 different confirmed incidents and operations involving federal, state, and local government operatives who infiltrated the massive Trump crowds on January 6, 2021.
Each one of these incidents has been confirmed by the far-left press or the government in court documents.

We currently have no idea how many federal, state and local government operatives were working undercover on January 6 but it looks like it is close to 100 operatives leading the charge on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Recent court documents reveal the Biden Department of Justice admitting to at least 40 undercover operatives with the Proud Boys on January 6.
In September 2022, TGP learned the FBI was running operatives inside The Oath Keepers on January 6th. The DOJ sprung this on the Oath Keepers members before their trial in Washington DC before a Kangaroo Court. The US government finally admitted in this letter they sent out before the trial that they were running Confidential Human Sources (CHS) inside the Oath Keepers organization on January 6.
In November 2022, the FBI finally admitted they had 8 informants inside the Proud Boys organization on January 6 and likely more.
The FBI had as many as eight informants inside the Proud Boys in the months around the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, recent court papers indicate, raising questions about how much federal investigators were able to learn from them before and after it took place. https://t.co/vfMPExBNW3

As public discourse around these events continues to unfold, Wray’s claims stand in stark opposition to confirmed facts. It remains to be seen how these contradictions will be addressed and what consequences they will have for Director Wray and the FBI as a whole.

SHOCK: ICE Arrests Superintendent of Des Moines, Iowa, Public Schools – An Illegal Alien Fugitive From Guyana with Prior Weapons Arrest

ICE agents on Friday arrested the Superintendent of Des Moines, Iowa, Public Schools – an illegal alien from Guyana with a prior weapons arrest.
According to Fox News, Dr. Ian Andre Roberts was an active ICE fugitive with a deportation order since May 2024. As soon as ICE agents identified themselves, Roberts fled in his car and sped off. He then abandoned his car and fled on foot. Federal agents found him hiding in shrubbery and took him into custody.
Agents found a loaded handgun and a fixed-blade hunting knife in Roberts’ vehicle.
Per Fox News reporter Bill Melugin:
A senior ICE official tells @FoxNews that today, ICE arrested the Superintendent of Des Moines, Iowa Public Schools, Dr. Ian Andre Roberts, who ICE says is an illegal alien from Guyana and active ICE fugitive with a deportation order since May 2024. Fox is told Dr. Roberts fled from ICE agents in his car once they ID’d themselves as immigration agents, speeding away, then abandoning the car. He was found in a brushy area 200 yards away with the help of an Iowa State Police K9. Per ICE official, agents found a loaded gun, a “fixed blade hunting knife”, and $3,000 cash in Dr. Robert’s vehicle.
Per senior ICE official, Roberts first entered the U.S. in 1999 on a F-1 student visa at St. John’s University was ordered removed from the United States on May 22, 2024, with proceedings being held in absentia. On April 24, 2025, an Immigration Judge in Dallas, TX denied a Motion to Reopen his immigration case.
Fox is told Dr. Roberts also has a weapons arrest in 2020, though the disposition of that charge/case is currently unclear.

Full statement from ICE:
ICE arrests criminal alien serving as Des Moines Public Schools Superintendent; prior weapons charges and in possession of loaded handgun at time of arrest
“ICE Des Moines today arrested Ian Andre Roberts, a criminal illegal alien from Guyana in possession of a loaded handgun, $3,000 in cash and a fixed blade hunting knife. At the time of his arrest Roberts was working as the Superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools despite being an illegal alien with a final order of removal and no work authorization.
During a targeted enforcement operation on Sept. 26, 2025, officers approached Roberts in his vehicle after identifying himself, but he sped away. Officers later discovered his vehicle abandoned near a wooded area. State Patrol assisted in locating the subject and he was taken into ICE custody.
Roberts has existing weapon possession charges from February 5, 2020. Roberts entered the United States in 1999 on a student visa and was given a final order of removal by an immigration judge in May of 2024.
The investigation into how Roberts acquired the handgun is being turned over to the ATF. It is a violation of federal law for those in the U.S. without legal status to possess a firearm and ammunition.
“This suspect was arrested in possession of a loaded weapon in a vehicle provided by Des Moines Public Schools after fleeing federal law enforcement,” said ICE ERO St. Paul Field Office Director Sam Olson. “This should be a wake-up call for our communities to the great work that our officers are doing every day to remove public safety threats. How this illegal alien was hired without work authorization, a final order of removal, and a prior weapons charge is beyond comprehension and should alarm the parents of that school district.”
ICE is grateful for the assistance of the Iowa State Patrol in apprehending this subject.”

‘Existential Threat’: Planned Parenthood Faces Potential $1.8 Billion Liability in Major Medicaid Fraud Lawsuit
http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/09/existential-threat-planned-parenthood-faces-potential-1-8/

A whistleblower lawsuit against Planned Parenthood could put the baby killing factory on the hook for as much as $1.8 billion in fraudulent Medicaid claims.
Doe v. Planned Parenthood was filed in 2021 under the False Claims Act by an anonymous whistleblower. The lawsuit accuses Planned Parenthood of continuing to bill Medicaid for services in Texas and Louisiana after both states revoked the abortion giant’s eligibility in 2015, and while their provider status was under review.
The two states revoked the organization’s Medicaid eligibility after they were exposed for selling fetal tissue and organs. Louisiana and Texas quickly moved to revoke the organization’s Medicaid eligibility, although court orders delayed the revocation.
During the delay, the group continued to make Medicaid reimbursement claims. In 2020, the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the states.
LifeNews reports:
“As the courts debated Planned Parenthood’s eligibility, the group continued to make Medicaid reimbursement claims despite the uncertain status until 2020, when the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the states,” the lawsuit alleges.
Designed to protect taxpayer dollars from fraudulent actors, the False Claims Act requires that “any person who knowingly submits, or causes to submit, false claims to the government is liable for three times the government’s damages plus a penalty that is linked to inflation,” according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
The U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments Thursday in Doe v. Planned Parenthood, focusing on whether the pro-abortion organization’s national office could be held liable for advising affiliates in Texas and Louisiana to keep billing Medicaid during the litigation.
In an op-ed for The Hill, pro-life leader and legal expert Jennie Bradley Lichter called the case “the most important case you’ve never heard of” and an “existential threat” to Planned Parenthood.
Per The Hill:
Planned Parenthood’s access to tax dollars has also been limited by the Supreme Court ruling in Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, which upheld states’ authority to decide whether abortion providers qualify for Medicaid reimbursements.
Against this backdrop, the under-the-radar case of U.S. ex rel. Doe v. Planned Parenthood represents an existential threat to Planned Parenthood.
*******
Now, Planned Parenthood could be on the hook for treble damages, civil penalties, interest and legal fees, pushing its total potential liability in the pending case past $1.8 billion — a financial catastrophe for the abortion giant that could hasten its end.

John Brown Gun Club Invokes Kirk Assassin’s Message on Campus Flier
By Tom Knighton | 2:29 PM | September 26, 2025
AP Photo/Matt York
The John Brown Gun Club is a leftist gun organization that is, basically, an armed militia. The existence of such an organization, even if they disagree with me on countless issues, isn’t troubling in and of itself. People have a right to keep and bear arms, and they have a right to associate with whoever they wish. That includes a gun club with some sketchy ideology.
Advertisement
What’s not cool is making threatening moves, statements, or anything else.
Whether it’s criminal or not might be another matter, but what the group just did crosses at least some lines with me. You can’t just invoke a message from an assassin and not invoke serious concern.
Since Charlie Kirk’s assassination on September 10, the left has been scrambling to control the narrative, insisting that political violence is a uniquely right-wing problem. But the disturbing reality is that the most recent eruptions of extremism are coming from their side of the aisle, thanks to rhetoric that Democratic leaders and their ideological allies still openly encourage.
This week’s incident at Georgetown University is a stark example. Students at one of the nation’s elite campuses discovered bright red flyers plastered across bulletin boards, distributed by the John Brown Gun Club, a self-described far-left militia with a history of violent activity. These weren’t harmless announcements about progressive bake sales or climate marches. The flyers featured the chilling words, “Hey fascist! Catch!” the exact phrase investigators say Tyler Robinson, the man accused of murdering Charlie Kirk during a Turning Point USA event in Utah, scrawled on a shell casing. Even more disturbing, the flyer boasted that the group is “the only political group that celebrates when Nazis die,” before urging students to scan a QR code to join its cause and “make a real change” through aggressive activism instead of “ceremonial resistance.”
This rightly alarmed conservatives on campus. “So obviously I read this immediately as a threat, not only for me but for everyone on this campus,” Shae McInnis, a Georgetown sophomore and College Republicans treasurer, told Fox News Digital. And who can blame him? The flyer’s message was unmistakable: violence is not only permissible but worth celebrating if you belong to the wrong political camp. We’ve been saying all along that when Democrats use rhetoric dehumanizing people on the right, it makes people on the left feel morally obligated to use violence against them.

Now, the problem here is what constitutes “aggressive activism.”
If it’s marches and protests every day of the week, that might be annoying, but it’s protected speech. The inclusion of the phrase “Hey fascist! Catch!” suggests something very different.
That’s not activism. That’s crossing a line.
No, it might not be an overt threat–or, at least, not enough of one for a DA to consider prosecuting anyone–but the message is clear. They not only approve of what Tyler Robinson actually did, but also want folks to believe they’re willing to emulate it. That is a threat, no matter how you slice it.
I’ve long stated I’ll stand with almost anyone who will defend gun rights. That includes John Brown Gun Club members.
Or, more accurately, it did.
I want nothing at all to do with people who use these kinds of threats to try and affect political change. I don’t want to be associated, even at a distance, with an organization that seeks to recruit people with methods like this. Especially since they either need to deliver on the promises of that particular kind of “aggressive activism” or those who signed on for it will go it alone, only now they’ll have others who think that’s a good idea.
At a time when we need to ramp down the tensions, this isn’t going to come to a good end.

Yesterday we were talking about Pete (Sec of War) calling all of the Flag Officers to a meeting for an unstated reason, FOX is reporting
rumorsreports that the DOW is considering/planning strikes inside Venezuela. If this is true it would make sense for Pete to call a meeting to warn the Flag Officers to prepare for retaliation against the US around the world.PT has declared war on the Cartels, he knows he has to either win the war or degrade their capabilities while he is still in office. He hopes/prays that the next President will continue his policies but he can’t count of it just as he can’t count on the next President to refuse to let the Dems prosecute him once he is out of office. As I said yesterday we are in the opening stages of an asymmetric civil war, a war that is going to last several decades and will dramatically change the US. The change being for the good or bad depends on who wins in the end, I personally think the patriot cause will win but we can’t be sure this will happen.
