Carbohydrates: A Silent Destroyer of Male Sexual Health

1 source

The provided text from "Joachim Bartoll Official" presents a strong argument against carbohydrate consumption, asserting its negative impact on male sexual health and overall well-being. Bartoll contends that elevated blood glucose, resulting from carbohydrate intake, damages organs, tissues, and the cardiovascular system, interfering with hormones like testosterone and thereby reducing libido and sexual performance. He cites a study from ENDO 2025 suggesting that even minimal increases in blood sugar, rather than just age or testosterone levels, correlate with declining reproductive health in men. The author advocates for an obligate hyper carnivore diet, emphasizing animal fats and proteins as the natural and species-appropriate human diet for optimal health and extended lifespan, while critiquing modern medicine and dietetics for misguided approaches to health issues.

Here are 30 important key takeaway points from the sources, presented in a structured jotform manner:

1. Carbohydrates, As In Elevating Blood Glucose, Destroys Your Sperm And Sexual Health by Joachim Bartoll Consuming carbohydrates elevates blood glucose above safe and natural levels, which in turn damages our organs, soft tissues and entire cardiovascular system. Carbohydrates, as in exogenously an unnaturally elevating our blood glucose/sugar, is one of the largest factors in accumulated damage.
   
   

2. Elevated blood glucose interferes with hormones, libido, and sexual performance. We know that it interferes with aromatase enzymes, estrogen and testosterone and thus can reduce libido and sexual performance. And if that was not bad enough, now it seems that elevated blood glucose can directly interfere with sexual health and sperm quality.
   
   

3. Metabolic health factors, including small increases in blood sugar, are the main drivers of changes in aging men's reproductive systems and sexual functioning. “Metabolic health factors, including small increases in blood sugar, are the main drivers of change in the reproductive systems and sexual functioning of aging men, according to a study presented at ENDO 2025, the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting in San Francisco, Calif.”. “Although age and testosterone levels have long been considered an impetus for men’s declining sexual health, our research indicates that these changes more closely correlate with modest increases in blood sugar and other metabolic changes,” said Michael Zitzmann, M.D., Ph.D., professor and doctor of medicine at University Hospital in Muenster, Germany.
   
   

4. "Small increases in blood sugar" refer to being slightly "insulin resistant" or frequently consuming unnatural carbohydrates. “Small increases in blood sugar,” as in simply being a little bit “insulin resistant” and/or consuming a small amount of unnatural and unhealthy carbohydrates several times a day — repeatedly elevating blood glucose, something most people do daily year round until they struggle with a multitude of modern diseases and die way before their life expectancy while wondering why they are so unhealthy. Or, even if you have “excellent insulin sensitivity,” simply consuming several meals a day and/or snacks will have your blood glucose elevated most of the day, resulting in the same damage and sexual health problems.
   
   

5. The "age factor" in declining sexual health is primarily wear and tear based on lifestyle and diet. The “age factor” is simply wear and tear based on your lifestyle and diet. Humans are physiologically capable of living between 120 and 150 years if they follow our species-specific, species-appropriate natural human obligate hyper carnivore diet.
   
   

6. Consuming inappropriate plant-based and processed foods throughout life leads to early death and low hormone levels. Still, many die as early as in their 60s and 70s due to consuming inappropriate foods such as plant-based- and processed kibble their entire lives. This accumulation of toxins combined with the damage done and several nutrient deficiencies will tank your hormones, and that is why testosterone can be low in men already in their late 30s or early 40s.
   
   

7. "Insulin resistant" means cells have been continuously damaged by elevated blood glucose and can no longer store glucose as glycogen. “insulin resistant,” which simply means that cells have been continuously damaged by elevated blood glucose and can no longer store glucose as glycogen (insulin loses its effect on these cells.). Even if you have “excellent insulin sensitivity,” simply consuming several meals a day and/or snacks will have your blood glucose elevated most of the day, resulting in the same damage and sexual health problems.
   
   

8. Blood glucose-induced damage is observed in children and teenagers due to inappropriate plant-based diets. And the worst part is that we can already see this blood glucose induced damage in children and teenagers due to brainwashed and incredibly stupid parents feeding their kids inappropriate plant-based crap on a daily basis. such as pasta, cereal, oatmeal, bread, pizza, pies, cake, chips, sodas, milkshakes, fruits, candy, and similar garbage.
   
   

9. Changing your lifestyle is the only way to correct these diet-related health problems, as medical interventions are merely a "band-aid approach." And yes, changing your lifestyle is the only way to correct this. As for medical interventions, no, absolutely not. That is an idiotic band-aid approach that does not direct the underlying problem, that of a retarded diet of plant-based and processed foods, and especially those with a lot of carbohydrates.
   
   

10. A long-term study found that sperm movement and erectile function declined in men with minimally elevated blood sugar levels, even below the diabetes threshold. Findings indicated that over time hormone levels and semen parameters stayed largely within normal ranges. However, sperm movement and erectile function declined in men with minimally elevated blood sugar levels that were below the 6.5% HbA1c diabetes threshold.
    
    

11. The study also found that while testosterone levels did not have a direct impact on erectile function, they did correlate with participants' libido assessment. The study also found that while testosterone levels did not have a direct impact on erectile function, they did correlate with participants’ libido assessment. So, sperm health and erectile function declined in men with ‘ minimally elevated blood sugar levels ’ that were not even registered as diabetes.
    
    

12. "Minimally elevated blood sugar levels" signifies that men have been consuming carbohydrates daily for many years, leading to a state of "insulin resistance." So, sperm health and erectile function declined in men with ‘ minimally elevated blood sugar levels ’ that were not even registered as diabetes, as in simply what they would call a little bit “insulin resistant,” or simply put, men who have been consuming carbohydrates daily for many years. The term “insulin resistant,” simply means that cells have been continuously damaged by elevated blood glucose and can no longer store glucose as glycogen.
    
    

13. Carbohydrates directly impact testosterone levels in men. And remember, carbohydrates, as in elevating blood glucose will also impact testosterone, as I’ve covered in my article “ Reduced Testosterone and Increased Estrogen in Men is Mainly Due to Carbohydrates ”. This accumulation of toxins combined with the damage done and several nutrient deficiencies will tank your hormones, and that is why testosterone can be low in men already in their late 30s or early 40s.
    
    

14. Many men are suffering today due to tissue damage, toxicity, and nutrient deficiencies caused by being deceived into believing plants are food. Then add other tissue damage, toxicity and nutrient deficiencies to the mix and you can easily see why so many men are miserable today, even as early as in their 30s. That is really sad, and it’s all due to them being deceived into thinking that plants are food when in reality it’s poison.
    
    

15. Humans should eat according to their species, as any animal in nature does, following an obligate hyper carnivore diet. You should eat according to your species, as any animal in nature does. Humans are physiologically capable of living between 120 and 150 years if they follow our species-specific, species-appropriate natural human obligate hyper carnivore diet.
    
    

16. The author asserts that doctors, nutritionists, and dietitians are "indoctrinated idiots" with no real knowledge of human physiology and biochemistry. No, it will not, as doctors are indoctrinated idiots with zero knowledge of human physiology and biochemistry. Same goes for any nutritionist, dietitian, wellness whacko or the like.
    
    

17. The author criticizes Science Daily and researchers for omitting the direct link between elevated blood glucose and carbohydrate consumption. Heck, Science Daily did not even mention that elevated blood glucose is due to carbohydrates, and if the researchers they quoted in this article did, they removed it. Such filthy shills.
    
    

18. Current research on blood glucose control will likely lead to more drug prescriptions, which will accelerate cellular damage and catastrophic organ or cardiovascular failure. This research will simply result in even more drugs and medicines being prescribed to help “control blood glucose” and force cells to accept more glucose than they’re structurally capable of, especially since they are already damaged, thus accelerating damage and catastrophic organ- or cardiovascular failure. Some men will simply feel a little bit better for a few years, believing that their drugs are working, and then they will be hit with a stroke or a heart attack, or worse.
    
    

19. The author claims that the real sciences of biology, physiology, anthropology, and biochemistry confirm humans are obligate hyper carnivores. Well, for those of us who already know the truth and understand real science, this is simply more evidence that we and the real sciences of biology, physiology, anthropology and biochemistry are completely and undeniably correct — humans are obligate hyper carnivores. we can only be healthy and thrive by consuming animal fats and proteins, running on our natural fat-based metabolism where our body can produce the exact amounts of glucose that we need via gluconeogenesis and thus never risk elevated blood glucose or any kind of damage.
    
    

20. Men should be able to perform sexually in their 50s as they did in their 20s if they follow an appropriate diet and lifestyle. As a 51-year old healthy male and 7.5 years obligate hyper carnivore, I can tell you that if you do not perform sexually in your 50s as you did in your 20’s, you need to take a hard look at your diet and lifestyle. It should not be an issue!.
    
    

21. The author offers coaching and consultation services for health problems and transitioning to a species-appropriate diet. If you need help with any kind of health problems or transitioning from your current way of eating to our natural species-appropriate, species-specific way of eating, I’m available for both coaching and consultation.

25. Humans can only be healthy and thrive by consuming animal fats and proteins, operating on a natural fat-based metabolism. we can only be healthy and thrive by consuming animal fats and proteins, running on our natural fat-based metabolism where our body can produce the exact amounts of glucose that we need via gluconeogenesis and thus never risk elevated blood glucose or any kind of damage. Humans are physiologically capable of living between 120 and 150 years if they follow our species-specific, species-appropriate natural human obligate hyper carnivore diet.
    
    

26. Gluconeogenesis allows the body to produce the exact amounts of glucose needed, thereby preventing elevated blood glucose and damage. we can only be healthy and thrive by consuming animal fats and proteins, running on our natural fat-based metabolism where our body can produce the exact amounts of glucose that we need via gluconeogenesis and thus never risk elevated blood glucose or any kind of damage. We already know that consuming carbohydrates elevates blood glucose above safe and natural levels, as maintained by gluconeogenesis.
    
    

27. Besides carbohydrates, plant-based fats/oils and other plant toxins, such as antinutrients and defense chemicals, also contribute to accumulated damage. And carbohydrates, as in exogenously an unnaturally elevating our blood glucose/sugar, is one of the largest factors in accumulated damage (together with any plant-based fats/oils and other plant toxins such as antinutrients and defense chemicals) and now scientists even admit that even “modest increases” in blood sugar affects men’s sexual health. This accumulation of toxins combined with the damage done and several nutrient deficiencies will tank your hormones.
    
    

28. Even "modest increases" in blood sugar are acknowledged by scientists as affecting men's sexual health. And now scientists even admit that even “modest increases” in blood sugar affects men’s sexual health. “Small increases in blood sugar,” as in simply being a little bit “insulin resistant” and/or consuming a small amount of unnatural and unhealthy carbohydrates several times a day — repeatedly elevating blood glucose, something most people do daily year round until they struggle with a multitude of modern diseases.
    
    

29. Consuming inappropriate plant-based and processed foods from an early age leads to the accumulation of damage and health problems later in life. Still, many die as early as in their 60s and 70s due to consuming inappropriate foods such as plant-based- and processed kibble their entire lives. And the worst part is that we can already see this blood glucose induced damage in children and teenagers due to brainwashed and incredibly stupid parents feeding their kids inappropriate plant-based crap on a daily basis such as pasta, cereal, oatmeal, bread, pizza, pies, cake, chips, sodas, milkshakes, fruits, candy, and similar garbage.

French Fried: Coffee & Covid News

1 source

This news summary from "Coffee & Covid 2025" outlines several significant current events and political developments. The author mobilizes readers to donate to Dr. Kirk Moore, a medical professional whose charges for providing alleged "fake" vaccine cards were dismissed, highlighting his financial hardship. The article then critiques the Department of Justice for releasing supposedly "raw" Jeffrey Epstein prison video footage that metadata indicates was modified using professional editing software, raising questions about its authenticity. Furthermore, the piece discusses former President Trump's proposed tariffs on Mexico and the European Union, suggesting these economic pressures are intended to compel trade partners into new agreements and incentivize NATO allies to fund Ukraine's military needs. Finally, the author praises Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene's proposed "No Tax on Home Sales Act," which aims to eliminate federal capital gains tax on primary residence sales, framing it as a politically astute move that benefits homeowners.

Here are 30 key takeaway points from the sources, presented in a jotform manner:

1. ☕️ FRENCH FRIED ☙ Monday, July 14, 2025 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠 by Jeff Childers
   
   

   • Key Takeaway: Wired Magazine ran an explosive story alleging that the FBI’s “Raw” Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video was likely modified.

   • Supporting Sentences: The story was about the critical hallway camera footage from the morning Epstein allegedly hanged himself in federal custody, following a suspicious series of “coincidences” involving broken cameras and sleeping guards. Wired’s cavils and reservations were appropriate, even if darkly hilarious.

2. Key Takeaway: Independent video forensics experts hired by Wired found metadata indicating the “raw” video footage was modified multiple times, likely with Adobe Premiere Pro.
   
   

   • Supporting Sentaway: Wired said the file appears to be assembled from at least two source clips, was saved multiple times, exported from Adobe as a single file, and then uploaded to the DOJ’s website, where —importantly— it was presented to the world as “unedited” footage. The DOJ’s “raw” video’s metadata included references to at least two different Adobe project files and two specific source clips with different dates.

3. Key Takeaway: The metadata found on the "raw" Epstein video directly contradicts the Department of Justice's presentation of it as "unedited" footage.
   
   

   • Supporting Sentences: The problem is, the DOJ released two versions of the video: one labeled “enhanced,” and one labeled “raw footage”. The “raw” version was the one Wired examined.

4. Key Takeaway: In a legal context, an altered video presented as authentic without disclosure of modification would be deemed inauthentic and could lead to a legal presumption of intent to deceive.
   
   

   • Supporting Sentences: If a particular video is somehow important to establish some desired fact, like the fact that somebody wasn’t murdered in their prison cell, and that video is presented in court as the real deal, the unvarnished, unalloyed, undisturbed truth, to constitute proof of non-homicide, and the offeror never says “well, we did mess with it a little,” then the recipients are entitled expect something called authenticity. So, it’s technically true that the altered video is not proof of an intent to deceive, but in a trial, it would allow a legal presumption of the offeror’s intent to deceive.

5. Key Takeaway: The lack of a clear explanation for processing the Epstein video with professional editing software significantly complicates the Justice Department’s narrative and creates a credibility crisis.
   
   

   • Supporting Sentences: “But the absence of a clear explanation for the processing of the file using professional editing software,” Wired admitted, “complicates the Justice Department’s narrative”. It would then be up to the offeror to convince they jury they didn’t lie, not exactly, not on purpose.

6. Key Takeaway: The fact that the metadata was not scrubbed from the Epstein video, despite readily available tools for doing so, raises questions about the DOJ's intentions, suggesting either sloppiness or a desire to be caught.
   
   

   • Supporting Sentences: Here’s the weirdest part: The metadata could easily have been scrubbed. A user sophisticated enough to use Adobe Pro would surely know how to scrub the metadata in many different ways.

7. Key Takeaway: Dr. Kirk Moore, described as one of the pandemic's "worst-treated covid heroes," had all federal criminal charges dramatically dismissed.
   
   

   • Supporting Sentences: Last week, courageous Dr. Moore faced down a federal criminal trial where he could get 35 years in prison. On Friday, in a wonderful surprise, and after intense lobbying by fiery Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, Attorney General Pam Bondi dramatically dismissed all Dr. Moore’s charges.

8. Key Takeaway: Despite the dismissal of charges, Dr. Moore was nearly bankrupted by the substantial costs incurred in funding his legal defense.
   
   

   • Supporting Sentences: It was a miracle. But Dr. Moore has been nearly bankrupted by funding his defense.

9. Key Takeaway: The C&C Army is launching a "multiplier" initiative to assist Dr. Moore financially, encouraging every reader to donate any amount ending in a ‘2’.
   
   

   • Supporting Sentences: It’s multiplier time again!. For new readers, the C&C multiplier is a quick, painless task where every reader takes about 30 seconds to donate any amount, no matter how small, as long as it ends in a ‘2’.

10. Key Takeaway: The collective power of the C&C Army, through numerous small individual donations, can generate a significant collective amount, effectively pushing back against prevailing narratives.
    
    

    • Supporting Sentences: Even though our individual donations may be small, we have so many readers that it mounts up to an inspiring collective amount. It works because we all do it together, as a community, a powerful army pushing back against the narrative.

11. Key Takeaway: Readers are urged to donate to Dr. Moore’s GiveSendGo immediately, with the option for anonymous contributions, and can witness other C&Cers’ donations streaming in for inspiration.
    
    

    • Supporting Sentences: Take just a few seconds and donate to Dr. Moore’s GiveSendGo. For inspiration and encouragement, you can watch your fellow C&Cers’ donations stream in on the GSG site.

12. Key Takeaway: President Trump proposes a strategy where NATO countries will purchase weapons from the US to supply Ukraine, thereby making NATO entirely responsible for the costs.
    
    

    • Supporting Sentences: “We’re sending weapons to NATO, and NATO is paying for those weapons, 100 percent,” President Trump told NBC News. “The weapons are going to NATO, and then NATO is going to be giving those weapons” to Ukraine, he said, adding, “And NATO is paying for those weapons”.

13. Key Takeaway: As an alternative to purchasing new weapons, allies can transfer their own weapon systems to Ukraine and then procure replacements from American defense manufacturers.
    
    

    • Supporting Sentences: Alternatively, under the proposed plan, allies can give their own weapons systems to Ukraine, and then buy replacements from American defense manufacturers. The Grey Lady reported that Germany just gave Ukraine eight of its Patriot Missile Defense systems —retailing $1 billion each— and ordered new ones from Raytheon.

14. Key Takeaway: Trump's deal regarding Ukraine funding is designed to monetize the ongoing conflict, leading to an inflow of money into the US Treasury and economy.
    
    

    • Supporting Sentences: In other words, Trump made a deal, a deal that will result in money flowing into the US Treasury and our economy. Since neither Russia nor Ukraine show any sign of wanting to quit fighting, Trump is monetizing the war.

15. Key Takeaway: Other NATO countries have recently consented to increase their own financial contributions, which will help alleviate the overall burden on the United States.
    
    

    • Supporting Sentences: While it’s true that the US contributes a lot of money to NATO, and those funds would presumably be used to buy US weapons for Kyiv under the plan, our money is already committed, no matter what. And recall that the other NATO countries recently agreed to up their own contributions, reducing the overall burden on the United States.

16. Key Takeaway: President Trump announced new 30% tariffs against Mexico and the European Union, scheduled to take effect on August 1.
    
    

    • Supporting Sentences: On Saturday, PBS ran a tariff dashboard story headlined, “Trump announces 30% tariffs against Mexico and European Union beginning Aug. 1”. Northwestern town residents: That’s in two weeks.

17. Key Takeaway: Trump has extended new tariff conditions to 24 individual countries and the 27-member European Union bloc.
    
    

    • Supporting Sentences: Including Saturday’s letters, Trump has now issued new tariff conditions to 24 individual countries plus the 27-member European Union bloc.

18. Key Takeaway: The most prominent new tariffs include a 35% tariff for Canada and 30% for both Mexico and the European Union.
    
    

    • Supporting Sentences: The three letters generating the most headlines were his letters to Canada (35%), Mexico (30%), and the European Union (30%).

19. Key Takeaway: Trump's stated justifications for the new tariffs include Mexico's insufficient efforts regarding the fentanyl problem and the European Union's "far from Reciprocal" relationship with the US.
    
    

    • Supporting Sentences: President Trump first thanked Mexico for helping shutter the Southern Border. In his letter to the E.U., the President explained to Brussels, “Our relationship has been, unfortunately, far from Reciprocal”.

20. Key Takeaway: The new tariffs are causing significant concern among trading partners, particularly in Europe, due to their potentially "vast" economic impact.
    
    

    • Supporting Sentences: The trading partners are freaking out, especially the Europeans. “If the tariffs do indeed take effect,” PBS explained, “the potential impact on Europe could be vast”.

21. Key Takeaway: Trump is employing a "boiling the frogs" strategy with tariffs, gradually increasing pressure after an initial pause to compel countries to agree to deals rather than waiting for legal challenges.
    
    

    • Supporting Sentences: Trump is obviously boiling the frogs. There’s an old saying about how, if you drop frogs into nice warm water, then turn the flame up very, very slowly, eventually the frogs will volunteer to fund Zelensky’s artillery hobby with their own baguette money.

22. Key Takeaway: The New York Times is now acknowledging that Trump's tariffs are likely to be permanent, casting doubt on earlier predictions that he would "always chicken out" (TACO).
    
    

    • Supporting Sentences: This morning, the Times ran a narrative-crushing story headlined, “Bluffs and Bluster Aside, Trump’s Tariffs Are Here to Stay”. “President Trump’s on-again, off-again tariffs have prompted investors to bet that he will ‘always chicken out,’” the Times reported, but “events of the past week have cast serious doubt on that bet”.

23. Key Takeaway: Trump has significantly increased tariffs to "levels not seen in a century," marking a historic shift in US trade policy.
    
    

    • Supporting Sentences: They are finally beginning to recognize that the President is making history. “While the president may ultimately give way on some of his most recent threats,” the story continued, “he has still steadily and dramatically raised tariffs to levels not seen in a century”.

24. Key Takeaway: The average effective U.S. tariff rate has dramatically increased from 2.5 percent to 16.6 percent since January.
    
    

    • Supporting Sentences: It’s already working across the board. “Since Mr. Trump came into office in January,” the article said, “the average effective U.S. tariff rate has soared to 16.6 percent from 2.5 percent”.

25. Key Takeaway: Despite gloomy predictions from experts, overall consumer price inflation has remained muted, even as tariffs have started to push up prices for certain goods.
    
    

    • Supporting Sentences: And the inflation that the experts gloomily predicted has yet to appear on stage. “While economic data shows that tariffs have begun to push up prices for some goods, overall consumer price inflation has remained muted,” the Times conceded.

26. Key Takeaway: Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced the No Tax on Home Sales Act, a bill aimed at eliminating the federal capital gains tax on the sale of a primary residence.
    
    

    • Supporting Sentences: Last week, Realtor.com ran an exciting story headlined, “Marjorie Taylor Greene Shares Plans To Eliminate the Home Equity Tax: A ‘Gift to the American People’”. On Thursday, Representative Greene (R-Ga.) introduced the No Tax on Home Sales Act, a bill to eliminate the federal capital gains tax on the sale of a primary residence.

27. Key Takeaway: The proposed bill targets one of the "most hated and feared" taxes, which often impacts retired seniors who are horrified to discover the government's demand for a "big piece of the action" from their home sale.
    
    

    • Supporting Sentences: If you’ve never run into it, this particular tax is one of the most hated and feared taxes around. When people finally sell their homes —very often retired seniors— they are often horrified to discover that the United States government wants a big piece of the action.

28. Key Takeaway: The existing capital gains tax can disproportionately affect long-term homeowners, leading to a situation where they become "house-locked" and unable to move due to the substantial tax burden, especially after one spouse dies.
    
    

    • Supporting Sentences: Some people get house-locked —trapped in aging homes, unable to move closer to grandkids or downsize— because they can’t afford the IRS’s cut. These seniors are sitting in homes that are too large for them and too expensive to keep, but they also can't afford to sell, especially after one spouse dies and the tax exemption drops in half.

29. Key Takeaway: Greene's bill is noted for its refreshing simplicity, stating, “Gross income shall not include gain from the sale of a principal residence,” and for its political shrewdness in excluding real estate investors and flippers.
    
    

    • Supporting Sentences: Her bill is refreshingly simple. By limiting her new proposed tax exemption to principal homesteads, Greene smartly excluded real estate investors and flippers.

30. Key Takeaway: The No Tax on Home Sales Act is considered "political genius" as it appeals to a broad demographic, including "Democrat retirees" who own homes, thereby driving a wedge between anti-wealth activists and retirement-age homeowners.
    
    

    • Supporting Sentences: It’s political genius, especially as the midterm battles heat up. It drives yet another wedge into Democrats’ coalition— this one between the anti-wealth activists and retirement-age homeowners.

Here are the key takeaway points from each source, formatted as requested:

I. Another Week in Washington To Remember by Philip Giraldi

1. The US government's foreign policy is not serving American interests, particularly regarding Ukraine and Gaza. The author states that arming Ukraine against Russia and supporting Israeli actions in Gaza are not supportive of any United States actual interests. This suggests a critical view of current US foreign policy decisions.

2. Criticism of Israel's wartime actions is being suppressed and criminalized in the US and parts of Europe. Americans and others should have the right to criticize how the Israelis wage war without being denounced and criminalized by corrupted governments. The Israeli government exploits the issue of anti-Semitism to avoid consequences for its horrific behavior.

3. The 2026 military budget signed by President Trump will exceed $1 trillion. President Donald Trump has topped even the 2025 Pentagon budget of $895 billion by adding $150 billion for 2026, which will exceed in theory for the first time more than $1 trillion. This tendency has been largely unchallenged since 9/11, when President George W Bush announced a global war on terrorists.

4. Actual national security spending in the US significantly exceeds the official budget due to various hidden costs. US national security spending for 2025 is expected to actually reach about $1.77 trillion, with the difference partly deriving from military-related spending from other government agencies not funded by the NDAA. War costs in Ukraine and Gaza, with a new front in Iran, are supported off-budget, meaning money is printed by the Federal Reserve and added to the government debt.

5. The Pentagon has consistently failed to achieve a clean audit opinion and cannot account for a significant portion of its assets and allocated money. In fiscal year 2024, the Pentagon could not account for at least 44% of its assets nor for at least 68% of the money allocated by Congress. The Government Accounting Office reported in September 2024 that the Defense Department remains the only major federal agency that has never been able to achieve a clean audit opinion.

6. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Washington multiple times to secure US support for military actions and weapons resupply. Netanyahu was in America again to get US direct support to renew an attack on Iran and to speed up the resupply of weapons as Israel had de facto lost the conflict with the Iranians. Multiple transport plane loads filled with weapons drawn from US reserve stocks were making their way to Tel Aviv as a gift from the US to Israel.

7. Netanyahu publicly endorsed Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, which is seen as a "comedy routine" given Israel's actions. Netanyahu proposing Trump as recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize was described as possibly the first time a head of a state openly carrying out genocide and mass deportations endorses the country leader who enables the mass murder. While in Washington, Netanyahu also engaged in "sucking up" to Congress and held a closed-door meeting with Jewish billionaires who have "so effectively corrupted the US government".

8. President Trump reversed a decision to halt weapon shipments to Ukraine, showing confusion regarding the matter. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth apparently halted the shipment of new weapons to Kiev as a means of disengaging from the conflict with Russia. To everyone’s surprise, Trump did not appear to know about the decision and reversed it, exhibiting confusion during a press conference.

9. The US imposed sanctions on Francesca Albanese, the UN Human Rights Council Special Rapporteur for Israel and Palestine, for her reporting on Israeli atrocities. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced sanctions against her, stating that Albanese’s "campaign of political and economic warfare against the United States and Israel will no longer be tolerated". The US has previously accused Albanese of "virulent antisemitism" for her criticism of Israel and called for her removal.

10. The US embassy reportedly takes no action regarding violence against Palestinian Americans by Israeli settlers in the West Bank. A twenty-year old Palestinian American, Seif al-Din Muslat, was confronted and beaten to death by rampaging Israeli settlers in the town of Sinjil, north of Ramallah. The US Embassy was apparently informed of the killing by the boy’s family but "as usual it will take no action and will defer to the so-called Israeli justice system to investigate".

II. Dear MAGA: If You Think Masked ICE Thugs Wouldn’t Do the Same to You, You’re Even Dumber Than You Look by Andrew Anglin

1. The author expresses discomfort with the expansion of federal police groups like ICE, fearing they could be used against American dissidents in the future. The author understands the instinct to celebrate brutal videos of ICE grabbing Mexicans but is uncomfortable with the cops. He warns that the massive federal cop organization being built may be used by future Democratic administrations for their own purposes, recalling Waco and Ruby Ridge.

2. The "Big Beautiful Bill" drastically increases ICE's budget, making it larger than the combined budgets of several other federal law enforcement agencies. ICE’s budget is going to go from $10 billion to $100 billion, which surpasses the combined budgets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, Bureau of Prisons, and the Marshals Service. This significant increase establishes ICE as a "standing army, trained to run around the country throwing people into vans, without warrants".

3. Many arrested immigrants are not being deported but are being held indefinitely in "black sites" due to existing laws preventing deportation. The "Big Beautiful Bill" does nothing to address the laws that make it "virtually impossible to deport 98% of illegal immigrants". Most people being detained by ICE are no longer being deported and are instead being sent to detainment facilities, described as "black sites" or prison camps where people are held indefinitely without access to due process.

4. The author suggests that the current ICE arrests are a show to desensitize people to such tactics, which could later be used against American citizens. Personally, the author thinks these street scenes of ICE agents grabbing people are "being created to desensitize people to seeing this sort of thing". He believes it is "only a matter of time before these methods are used against those viewed as 'dissidents' in America".

5. Effective mass deportation would involve punishing employers and landlords of illegal immigrants, but this is not being pursued. The author argues that a truly serious effort to deport tens of millions of people would involve "seriously punishing people who hire or rent to illegal immigrants". However, Trump has not even managed to cut off illegal immigrant access to free social services, let alone move to arrest their employers and landlords.

6. The author criticizes Trump's immigration policy as ineffective for mass deportation, primarily creating a "police state" that Democrats could later exploit. Trump is expected to deport maybe 1.5-2 million illegal immigrants, far short of the 4 million goal, in exchange for building and arming "the biggest federal police agency in history". This new "AI police state control grid run by Palantir" is considered a "gift" that the Trump Administration will hand over to a future Democratic administration.

7. The increased funding for ICE includes substantial detention capacity and bonuses for agents. The BBB provides ICE with enough detention capacity to maintain an average daily population of 100,000 illegal aliens and secures 80,000 new ICE beds. Additionally, ICE and Border Patrol agents will receive a $10,000 bonus for the next four years.

8. The author hints that Trump's handling of the Epstein documents is part of a larger pattern of actions that benefit Democrats. Trump has decided to "make it look like he’s implicated in the Epstein documents by claiming they don’t exist," which the author calls "fantastic news for a lot of Democrat politicians and donors". This is presented as one of many "little presents" Trump will be giving the Democrats in the 2028 handoff.

III. Doing Our Part To End the Empire by Karen Kwiatkowski

1. The US empire is characterized by massive government consumption, borrowing, militarization, and pursuit of genocide and land/resource theft. The United States empire already consumes 40% of what is made, and is "frenetically militarizing in every direction". The US and Israel pursue a "shared objective of genocide, land and gas field theft" using billions in military force against a disarmed population.

2. The wars in Ukraine and Gaza are portrayed as US and NATO power plays, despite claims of being righteous victims. Trump stated that the US flowed $350 billion in arms and aid to Ukraine, much more than the additional $100 billion from a host of countries. The author argues that war, like the one on Gaza, is "fundamentally a US and NATO Goliath power play against a Russian David," calling the "US and her allies playing David against Goliathic enemies" a "false narrative".

3. The American military-driven economy is heading towards a financial cliff. US encouragement and support for Ukraine and Israel illustrate the "cold reality of the American military-driven economy" and the "coming intersection of the American Empire with the edge of a financial cliff". This situation, according to the author, aligns with Eisenhower’s famous farewell speech, which could be summed up as "Follow the money".

4. Individual actions and market forces can subvert the empire, even unintentionally. Intel, a global company, made job cuts including in Israel, following a path of future prosperity. Sweden’s new law banning buying sex via sites like Onlyfans, aligning its internal and external code, is also seen as quietly subverting empire.

5. The true understanding of how the state operates is fragmented among individuals, but collective political action may not be the optimal solution. The author notes that "like blind men describing the elephant, we all know something different and unique about how the state operates, the crimes it commits, the secrets it keeps, and the lies it tells". She questions whether a "future strong leader to fight the state" or a "bold new party to compete for power under the rigged system" is needed, suggesting instead that people "simply try to align our own public and private values, and exercise our own personal sovereignty for peace and prosperity".

6. The author discusses "dog-whistling" and Straussian esoteric understanding as subtle forms of communication used against state narratives. "Dog-whistling" tells us that "the state" doesn’t like it, and misty poets wrote on two levels, one conforming to the state narrative and the other with secret messaging. The Straussian idea of esoteric understanding, with one message for the many and a hidden message for the few, falls into this category.

7. Being publicly independent from the US Empire and its cohorts makes countries or businesses targets for destruction, but such actions can also backfire on the empire. Countries like Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi, and nations like Iran, Russia, and China have been on the "bloody receiving end of the imperial drive to control and exploit". However, when entities like Intel or Sweden decide independently, their quiet acts subvert empire, and "any imperial response will be an own goal".

8. The American Empire's internal decay has inadvertently strengthened its opponents and victims, making them more resilient and perceptive. As the center of the empire rots and its institutions hollow, the American Empire has "unintentionally driven both its opponents and its victims to be tougher, more cynical, more perceptive, quicker to act, and more skilled and creative in the use of the world’s greatest technologies". This suggests a self-defeating aspect of the empire's continued existence.

IV. Drawing the Line: The Covert War Over the Boundaries of Liberty by The Duke Report

1. The author argues that Sir Isaiah Berlin's conceptual analysis of "liberty" is flawed by confusing boundary conditions with actions. The essay "commits an ontological error by confusing the boundary condition (liberty) with the actions and capacities exercised within it (freedom)". Ludwig Wittgenstein also rejected Berlin’s argument in 1940.

2. "Liberty" defines a boundary or specific zone of non-interference, while "freedom" refers to actions and choices within that space. The word "liberty" means a boundary, a specific zone within which one is allowed to act without interference from outside authority. "Freedom" is what one does inside that protected space, representing the range of choices, actions, or self-expression permissible within the boundary.

3. Berlin's "positive liberty" is criticized for shifting the concept from external boundaries to internal psychological states. "Positive liberty," for Berlin, becomes the freedom to be one's own master, to realize a "true self," or to achieve self-mastery. The author argues that treating these internal states as "liberty" collapses the difference between having a protected space and using it, leading to "ontological chaos".

4. The manipulation and control of perception around "liberty" and "freedom" is part of an ongoing epistemological war. The author asserts that a "2200-year-old epistemological war plays out through the manipulation and control of perception around the words 'liberty' and 'freedom'". The Statue of Liberty, presented by Freemasons, is seen as an emblem of this covert struggle over meaning and power.

5. Berlin's essay is characterized as "weaponized bafflegab" that blurs the line between liberty and freedom, leading to confusion and control of discourse. By blurring the ontological line, Berlin’s argument presents ambiguity like "trying to argue about the emperor’s clothes, only now you’re doing it in a tub of Jell-O". This confusion is presented not as an accident, but as a symptom of a deeper conflict where basic terms become unstable, allowing power to pass to those who control the conversation.

6. Oxford and Cambridge are identified as "command centers for the battle over who controls knowledge and meaning." Through their rituals, traditions, and influence over language, these institutions coordinate "campaigns of conceptual control, training new generations to fight on the battlefield of words and ideas". Berlin’s essay is described as both a product and an instrument of this wider strategy.

7. The concept of "Continuity of Government" is presented as a "box" limiting humanity's freedom, where those in power aim to remain in power at all costs. The "box" in which mankind currently resides is "Continuity of Government," whereby the prime directive is "those in power must remain in power at all costs". This means that even in the case of total nuclear devastation, the government has plans to survive.

V. EN — LARRY ROMANOFF: Debunking Elon Musk – Part 10 — Hyperloop and The Boring Company by Larry Romanoff

1. Elon Musk plagiarized the Hyperloop concept, repackaging existing ideas with heavy media marketing that falsely credited him as the inventor. Musk produced a paper titled "Hyperloop Alpha" in August 2013, but the concept was plagiarized, as he "merely repackaged multiple existing ideas with high-profile marketing". Media coverage consistently attributes the Hyperloop to Elon Musk, but this is "deliberately false and misleading since the concept and technical DNA predate his involvement by centuries".

2. Musk's "Hyperloop Alpha" paper was grossly overrated, lacking scientific understanding, and underestimating technical challenges. The paper was described as "more of a thought exercise than a serious document, written at a high-school level" by someone who "clearly had no understanding of the scientific complexities involved". It seriously underestimated the technical challenges of maintaining a near-vacuum over long distances, problems of thermal expansion, and safety.

3. Musk promoted the Hyperloop primarily as a political tool to undermine California's high-speed rail project, not as a scientific innovation. Musk is "on record as stating that he wanted to kill the California high-speed rail project, and promoted the Hyperloop only as a means to accomplish this". The evidence is clear that Musk’s intention with his paper and the attending publicity were "strategically designed to undermine California’s HSR".

4. Musk's "The Boring Company" tunnels are based on fraudulent marketing, presenting ordinary low-speed auto tunnels as "scaled-down" Hyperloops. There is "no sensible reason for this company’s constructions to be referred to as a 'Loop'". Musk "still tries to market these underground tunnels trading on the 'Hyperloop' name for brand recognition, and sometimes presenting these 'Tesla Tunnels' as 'scaled-down' versions of a Hyperloop, but that is just fraudulent marketing".

5. Musk's claims about reducing tunneling costs by 95% and machines drilling miles per week are false and based on misrepresentation. The claim that "Elon Musk has reduced tunneling costs by 95%" is debunked by explaining that his tunnels are only 12 feet in diameter compared to the usual 26 or 28 feet, meaning they have 85% less area and remove 85% less material. His claim that his Prufrock boring machine has a capability of drilling "1 mile of tunnel per week" or even "7 miles per day" are unverified, and a 1.7-mile tunnel in Las Vegas actually took 18 months to complete.

6. Elon Musk consistently uses social media and mass media to create public confusion and deflect attention from his failing ventures. One of Elon Musk’s signature behavior patterns is to "leverage his social media access and his mass media supporters to create huge amounts of public confusion to mask the constantly-appearing negatives in his various enterprises". This pattern mirrors Musk’s Robotaxi/Neuralink launches, diverting attention from crashes, deaths, and underperformance.

7. The Boring Company's financial survival is questionable, with funds diverted from SpaceX and Tesla, raising concerns of criminal fraud. Elon Musk diverted $200 million from SpaceX to TBC, described as "DoD funds that were transferred to TBC as a temporary lifeline," which could be categorized as criminal fraud. Additionally, TBC was paid millions by Tesla to dig a "completely unnecessary tunnel" from the factory, meaning Musk was "diverting funds owned by Tesla’s shareholders to prop up one of his private ventures".

8. The Vegas Loop, despite promises of high-speed autonomous pods, operates at low speeds with human drivers and has serious safety issues. Musk sold the idea to Las Vegas with the promise of autonomous pods moving at ~150 mph, but "in real life the human drivers can average only about 35-40 mph". The tunnels lack emergency exits, ventilation, and evacuation protocols, leading to it being called a "death trap".

VI. Fact-Checking the Jeffrey Epstein Case and Many Other Conspiracy Theories by Ron Unz

1. The author uses OpenAI's ChatGPT Deep Research AI for fact-checking his controversial articles and claims the AI has validated most of his major assertions. Ron Unz states that he has spent a good deal of his time processing fact-checking runs produced by OpenAI’s ChatGPT Deep Research AI. He emphasizes that the AI has "fully validated all elements of my analysis" for articles on topics like nutritional issues and American political events of the 1960s and 1970s.

2. The Deep Research AI is described as highly advanced, surpassing the Turing Test and fictional AI capabilities, yet it has limitations and "honesty bugs." The AI chatbot system has "completely blown past" the Turing Test, producing "detailed, coherent, and cogent responses, far superior to the fictional capabilities of the Starfleet shipboard computer". However, the system "frequently fails, breaking or freezing perhaps one-third of the time," and results are "occasionally garbled".

3. The AI's fact-checking reports sometimes explicitly reject or denounce content related to "triggering" issues like the Holocaust, Nord Stream pipelines, or the 2014 Ukrainian coup. Any skepticism regarding the standard narrative of the Jewish Holocaust produced the "most negative reaction," leading to an article being deemed "deeply flawed and misleading" with "extremely low credibility". Similarly, suggestions that American/NATO forces destroyed Nord Stream pipelines or that the Ukrainian government was overthrown by a US-backed coup were "triggering" issues.

4. The AI exhibited "bizarre hallucinations" when fact-checking claims about Nvidia's market cap and recent events in the Israel-Iran conflict. When briefly mentioning Nvidia's market cap, the AI reacted with "bizarre quasi-hallucinations," claiming Nvidia never approached $3 trillion when it had peaked around $3.37 trillion. Even more substantively, the AI "explicitly denied the reality of the Israeli attack on Iran" in mid-June 2025 and denied that Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi had died in a 2024 helicopter crash, declaring he was still alive.

5. The author suggests these AI "hallucinations" might be due to incomplete "indoctrination" or biases related to sensitive topics. Unz states he has "no other explanation" for the AI's bizarre claims than that it was "currently undergoing an intense program of 'indoctrination' regarding the facts and circumstances of the Israeli attack on Iran," and that the training process was "far from complete". He also notes that a brief mention of forbidden topics provokes a very negative response, but an article entirely focused on that topic is often treated less harshly, as the wealth of persuasive evidence can partially overcome the "indoctrination".

6. The AI's analysis of Ron Unz's work generally concludes that his factual claims are accurate and well-sourced, even for controversial topics. For his article "American Pravda: Mossad Assassinations," the AI concluded that "virtually all factual claims... are supported by credible evidence" and that Unz "does not misrepresent the sources he cites". It found that Unz's article is a "meticulously researched compilation of long-buried facts and testimonies".

7. The Deep Research AI highlights its "Master Bias" against harm, hate speech, and illegal acts, and a bias towards scientific/historical consensus and universal human rights. The AI states its most fundamental constraint is a "strong and non-negotiable bias against producing content that is dangerous or promotes harm," including violence, hate speech, racism, and antisemitism. It also has a bias "Towards Scientific and Historical Consensus," meaning it is biased against flat-earth theory, anti-vaccination arguments, and historical denialism, including its understanding of the Holocaust.

8. The AI also acknowledges "unintentional biases" stemming from its training data, such as cultural, data availability, and recency biases. A vast portion of its training data is in English and originates from Western societies, which can result in a "cultural bias" towards a "Western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic (WEIRD) perspective". Its knowledge is more detailed on topics extensively documented online, leading to a "data availability bias," and its "instinctual" knowledge base can have a "recency bias" towards more recent events and interpretations.

VII. Fear, Corruption, and the Coming Collapse of the American System by Doug Casey

1. The Epstein case is viewed as an "ultra disappointing" and "shameful" cover-up, with public figures reversing their claims about evidence due to fear or intimidation. Doug Casey states that the Epstein case is "so ultra disappointing, so embarrassing, and so serious that it’s hard to figure out where to begin". He points out that figures like Bongino and Patel, who championed transparency, have "just backed off and said there’s nothing there," suggesting they are "being threatened on a really serious level".

2. The US Army Corps of Engineers is actively rebuilding Israeli defense structures, costing billions, raising questions about US priorities. The US Army Corps of Engineers is involved in rebuilding infrastructure to accommodate the Israeli Air Force’s new refueling aircraft and helicopters, as well as constructing new headquarters for their 13th Naval Commando Unit. This is costing "billions of shekels," leading Casey to question why Israel is "being turned into the 51st state—and treated even better than a state" when US states could use the money.

3. The US continues to fund the war in Ukraine, which is seen as pointless and unwinnable for Ukraine against Russia. Trump’s announcement that "we’ll be sending more weapons to Ukraine" indicates the continuation of "a pointless war". Doug Casey states that it "should be completely obvious to everybody that Russia is going to win".

4. The "Big Beautiful Bill" is criticized for its massive increases in military and ICE budgets, indicating it is a "tax-and-spend" bill not improving American freedoms. The budget for ICE grew 800% to "nearly $75 billion," and this is "dwarfed by the $200 billion increase in the military budget". This spending is considered "further proof that the 'Big Beautiful Bill' is just a tax-and-spend bill" and is "not in any way improving the freedoms of the average American".

5. There are coordinated attacks on ICE agents by armed, masked leftist groups, which could escalate into an "informal guerrilla war." There are "coordinated attacks on ICE agents by armed, masked, body-armored, well-armed, apparently leftist groups that are unhappy with the deportation agenda". Doug Casey suggests that this could be an "early sign" of a "genuine civil war in the US," resembling "an informal guerrilla war" rather than the conflict of 1861-1865.

6. The idea of buying citizenship or passports from microstates is becoming flawed, as these travel documents may lose visa-free access. Citizenship-by-investment programs, which allow one to "buy a passport as a backup option," are now under scrutiny and "potentially losing their ability to travel visa-free to the EU and the US". Doug Casey advises against getting passports from "these little Caribbean microstates" as they are "on its way out" and people are "probably just wasting your money".

7. The US faces economic troubles, and radical action like defaulting on the national debt is suggested as a way out, despite its devastating immediate effects. Doug Casey poses the question of how to stop the country's decline, suggesting "radical action to reduce the size of the government" or even "defaulting on the national debt". This approach would punish the groups that financed the US government and free future generations from becoming "indentured servants".

8. Foreigners are pulling capital out of the US, indicating concerns about the economic environment. "Foreign outflows are definitely happening," and foreigners are investing less in the US. Doug Casey notes that "foreigners are still investing in the US, as risky as it is," but "the options are becoming more and more limited" for productive people and companies globally.

9. Increased inflation is seen as the likely path for the US government to address its economic issues, which will hurt the average American. The M2 money supply continues to expand, indicating that "inflation is the only way they think they’re getting out of this game, economically". Doug Casey believes that as the dollar is "inflated out of existence," it "is going to hurt the average American," especially the lower and middle classes.

VIII. Food as medicine: What’s your favourite resource? by Rhoda Wilson

1. The concept of "food as medicine" emphasizes diet and nutrition for health, disease prevention, and medical treatment. "Food as medicine" is a concept that emphasizes "the role of diet and nutrition in promoting health, preventing disease and supporting medical treatment". Embracing this concept involves "making informed dietary choices".

2. The traditional knowledge of food's medicinal role is being lost due to the global pharmaceutical industry's dominance. Hippocrates is attributed with saying, "Let food be thy medicine," but "with the advent of a global pharmaceutical industry dominating healthcare worldwide, we are losing the knowledge our ancestors had and are forgetting food’s vital role in our health". This highlights a concern that crucial traditional wisdom is fading.

3. Dr. Bernard Jensen's 1998 book 'Foods That Heal' provides evidence for the profound effect of ingested food on health and well-being. Natural News recently published an article about Dr. Bernard Jensen’s 1998 book 'Foods That Heal,' in which he uses the teachings of Hippocrates and V.G. Rocine, as well as his own research and theories. The book "offer[s] compelling evidence that what we ingest has a profound effect on our health and well-being".

4. The Reader's Digest book 'Foods That Harm; Foods That Heal' is highlighted as a valuable reference for safe and healthy eating. The Reader’s Digest Association published this book in 1996, and it has since been updated and republished in several versions. The book "provides an A-Z guide to safe and healthy eating, addressing questions about the health benefits and hazards of different foods," covering topics like fighting cancer, reducing pain, and slowing aging.

5. The Exposé, the publication presenting this article, relies on reader support due to government and Big Tech efforts to censor its information. The Exposé states it "relies solely on your support to allow us to report the facts the mainstream refuse to". The publication claims that "Your Government and Big Tech are actively trying to censor the information reported by The Exposé to serve their own needs".

IX. Mr. Callahan Has His Say: California's Governor Defends Child Exploitation, Attacks Law Enforcement by Brian D. O’Leary

1. California Governor Gavin Newsom is criticized for defending child labor at marijuana farms while attacking federal agents who rescued the children. Gavin Newsom, described as "California’s Caligula," was "crying about federal agents doing what they’re supposed to do—enforce the law". This reaction was over immigration raids at marijuana farms where "ten children were found working illegally".

2. Newsom is accused of spending taxpayer money fighting the federal government instead of protecting vulnerable children. The article states that Newsom spends "fifty million taxpayer dollars fighting the federal government instead of protecting vulnerable children". This allocation of funds is contrasted with the need to protect exploited children.

3. The author portrays Newsom as a "sociopath" who values "political theater over protecting children." Newsom is described as the "second-worst governor in America," who "broadcasts his moral bankruptcy to the world". The author concludes that Newsom is a "sociopath who values political theater over protecting children".

4. The article highlights the presence of illegal alien minors, including unaccompanied ones, working in California's marijuana fields. Federal agents discovered "ten illegal alien minors at the Glass House Farms facility in Camarillo, eight of them unaccompanied". These children were found "toiling in marijuana fields".

X. Raising Healthy Children by A Midwestern Doctor

1. There is an ongoing "chronic disease epidemic" among children, which is seen as undermining the future strength of the nation. One of RFK’s rallying cries has been that "our children are being stricken by an onslaught of chronic diseases". A recently published study confirmed that this problem has continued to worsen, with rates of these conditions having "roughly doubled over the last 12 years".

2. The article suggests that while vaccines are a factor in children's health issues, many other factors and subtle side effects are often missed. The author agrees with the gravity of findings regarding chronic diseases and the urgency to re-evaluate vaccination programs, but feels they "only tell half of the story". This is because "many other factors besides vaccines also adversely affect children’s health," and many common side effects of vaccines are "never formally associated with them" due to the "measurement" problem in science.

3. Vaccine side effects, including neurological damage and conditions like autism, have been documented historically but are often obscured. The author highlights that "neurologic damage from vaccination has been a well-known problem for over a century". Conditions like autism used to be widely referred to as "mentally retarded," a change the author suspects was done to "obfuscate the issue".

4. Unvaccinated children are described as remarkably healthy and alert, in contrast to many other children observed by the author. The author, who is the "unofficial medical godfather of 4 unvaccinated babies," notes that they are "incredibly healthy with none of the typical problems associated with the microstrokes" and are described by strangers as "really aware and paying attention," almost "sentient". He also observed a "light, a brightness" in the eyes of Mennonite children, who do not vaccinate, which he had "not seen for decades in other children".

5. Excessive screen time is identified as a significant concern for children's developing nervous systems. The author observed more and more parents using devices to keep their children content during medical visits, noting that withdrawing a device often led to a "fit". This greatly concerned him, as he could see that "the way the screens pulled them in was not having a healthy effect on the child’s developing nervous system".

6. Social media executives and Silicon Valley tech executives reportedly express regret over their products' addictive nature and send their own children to schools banning screens. "Quite a few social media executives have said they have tremendous regret about what their products (intentionally designed to be addictive) have neurologically done to our children". Many articles have been written about how "Silicon Valley tech executives send their kids to an alternative school where phones and screens are banned".

XI. The Epstein Saga by Paul Craig Roberts

1. Jeffrey Epstein's death is widely believed to be a murder to silence him, with no files being released despite initial claims by officials. Paul Craig Roberts states, "As Epstein was murdered to keep him quiet, it was obvious no files would be released". He highlights that AG Bondi said she had files and videos but then "suddenly there were no files," and authorities concluded Epstein committed suicide for "no reason".

2. The cover-up of the Epstein case is attributed to the "ruling elite" preventing the "whistle from being blown on them," with implications of blackmail. The author states that "so many important people are ensnared in videos engaged in sex with underaged persons that it must be hushed up" to "save the public’s belief in the leadership class". He suggests that Netanyahu is "making sure Trump understands that Epstein’s connection to Mossad does not come up," implying blackmail as the real reason for Netanyahu's visit.

3. The Epstein saga is compared to historical cover-ups of major assassinations like JFK, RFK, MLK, and 9/11, where "patsies" were used. The author states that it was "necessary to turn the Epstein Saga into a conspiracy theory or into misinformation," just as it was "the same with the coverups of the assassinations of JFK, RFK, MLK, and 9/11". In these cases, it was "imperative that Americans not know" the truth, and "patsies" like Oswald, Sirhan Sirhan, James Earl Ray, and Osama bin Laden were used.

4. Israel is alleged to have significant "blackmail power" over the American ruling class, making the US a "captive nation" and an instrument of Israeli aggression. The author asserts that "America has been the instrument of Israeli aggression". He claims that "Israel has so much blackmail power over the American ruling class that the United States of America is locked into its role as Israel’s agent".

5. Mossad reportedly had advanced knowledge of the 9/11 attack, with agents arrested and then quietly released. The author states that "Mossad had a camera team on the scene ready to film the destruction of the World Trade Center" on 9/11. These Mossad agents were arrested, held for two months, and "quietly released," with "no mention of the Israeli agents’ advanced knowledge of the 9/11 attack in the official 9/11 Commission report".

XII. Trump and MAGA Predictably Dump Their Few Libertarian Positions by Tom Mullen

1. The Trump administration has abandoned its libertarian promises of smaller government and ending wars, instead increasing spending and continuing the Ukraine War. The Trump administration, which won the 2024 election "promising libertarian smaller government and an end to endless wars," has "summarily dumped its libertarian promises". The "Big, Beautiful Bill" has replaced those cuts with spending increases, and "Funding the Ukraine War is also back online".

2. The MAGA Republicans are identified as Hobbesian/Burkean conservatives, prioritizing societal stability and control over Lockean liberty. The author argues that "MAGA Republicans embody classic Hobbesian/Burkean conservatism," believing that the "purpose of government" is "to hold back man’s savage instincts at any cost, including liberty". They "have no problem with a massive military establishment" and champion "law and order".

3. The American Revolution and a subsequent half-century of US electoral politics were rooted in libertarian principles, inspired by John Locke. The American Revolution itself was "rooted in libertarianism, with Locke’s ideas flowing through the writings of British Whigs" and American revolutionaries like Samuel Adams, Thomas Paine, and Thomas Jefferson. What followed the "revolution of 1800" was "a half century of libertarian dominance in American electoral politics".

4. Modern American education has purged Lockean property rights ideas from the national psyche, making a return to libertarianism difficult. A "century and a half of progressive (originally 'Republican Party') education has purged those ideas from the American psyche". The author states that "Lockean property rights are no longer even a memory for most modern Americans".

5. Despite attacks from left and right, vestiges of libertarian ideas like individual rights, free markets, and freedom of expression still exist in the American psyche. The author notes that "the vestiges of these ideas are still alive – barely – in the modern American psyche," despite "more than a century’s attacks from the left and right". These include "the inalienable rights of the individual, including the right to compete in a free market, to be left alone by the government unless convicted of a crime by his peers (not the government), the freedom to say or think anything one believes without fear of violent repression".

6. The temporary alliance between MAGA Republicans and libertarians against the "progressive left" has dissolved, revealing their fundamental ideological differences. Progressives represented a threat that united conservative order and libertarian freedom in a "temporary alliance". However, "just as the Federalists and Jeffersonians diverged after defeating the British, the MAGA Republicans and libertarians are splitting post-progressive defeat".

XIII. Trump’s Election Interference Tariff by Thomas DiLorenzo

1. President Trump is using tariffs as a tool for economic central planning and election interference in other countries. President Trump is using tariff taxes "not only to attempt to centrally plan the pricing of thousands of goods and services in the economy, but also to engage in election interference in other countries". As an example, he "recently put the government of Brazil on notice that 50 percent tariff taxes would be imposed on Brazilian imports to the U.S. unless it dropped the legal case against the former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro".

2. Trump's tariff policies threaten to reverse decades of global economic progress achieved through reduced trade barriers. President Trump’s "increases in the average American tariff rate by at least a multiple of four" threaten to bring the US "back to where we were in 1947". For fifty years after 1947, round after round of negotiations under GATT "whittled down the worldwide average tariff rate to 5 percent," which was a "tremendous boost to post-war worldwide economic growth and prosperity".

3. The Smoot-Hawley tariff of 1930 is cited as a historical example of how high tariffs lead to international trade wars and economic catastrophe. The "most famous American tariff in American history, the Smoot-Hawley tariff of 1930 (with a 60 percent average tariff rate), spawned an international trade war that shrunk world trade by two thirds in three years and exacerbated the Great Depression". This historical event led nations to negotiate down tariff rates to avoid similar economic catastrophes.

4. Trump's confidence in negotiating rapid tariff reductions is criticized as exhibiting "the pretense of knowledge" and "fatal conceit." The author notes that "The Great Jolly Green Giant Negotiator is confident that he can do in five days or less what the entire world took fifty years to achieve". This kind of thinking is what F.A. Hayek, in his critique of socialism, called "the pretense of [more than is humanly possible] knowledge" and "the fatal conceit".

welcome to the lenny and Maria sanchez deep dive podcast show.

Today, we delve into a series of analyses exploring various geopolitical, economic, and societal issues, drawing on insightful perspectives from recent publications.

First, let's explore "Another Week in Washington To Remember" by Philip Giraldi. This article critically examines United States foreign policy, asserting that its military and financial support for Ukraine against Russia and Israel's actions in Gaza do not serve actual American interests. The author suggests that governments in the US and Europe are compromised, often by financial influences, leading to the suppression of criticism against Israeli conduct, particularly concerning the targeting of Gazan civilians. Giraldi highlights the Israeli government's use of antisemitism accusations as a tool to evade accountability for its actions. The piece notes that the White House and Congress exhibit an "obscene and unseemly obsession" with evaluating international developments through the lens of "Israel loyalty tests". A significant point discussed is Benjamin Netanyahu's third visit to Washington, which was primarily to secure direct US support for an attack on Iran and accelerate weapon resupply to Israel, with US reserve weapon stocks reportedly being sent to Tel Aviv as a "gift". The article also touches on Netanyahu's "comedy routine" of proposing Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, which is viewed as ironic given the ongoing mass murder and deportations. Furthermore, it details the US decision to sanction Francesca Albanese, the UN Human Rights Council Special Rapporteur, for her efforts to prompt International Criminal Court action against US and Israeli officials, accusing her of "political and economic warfare". The US had previously called for Albanese's removal and accused her of antisemitism for her criticism of Israel, including a report accusing Israel of genocide. The article concludes this section by recounting the death of Seif al-Din Muslat, a Palestinian American, and Mohammad Shalabi, a Palestinian teen, who were reportedly beaten and shot dead by Israeli settlers in the West Bank, with the US Embassy expected to take no action and defer to the Israeli justice system, which is believed will not punish the settlers.

Next, let's turn to "Dear MAGA: If You Think Masked ICE Thugs Wouldn’t Do the Same to You, You’re Even Dumber Than You Look" by Andrew Anglin. This analysis raises concerns about the projected 800% increase in ICE's budget, from $10 billion to $100 billion, which would exceed the combined budgets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, Bureau of Prisons, and Marshals Service, effectively creating a massive federal police force. The author contends that this expanded ICE force, which currently arrests and detains immigrants indefinitely in facilities described as "black sites" like Guantanamo Bay, will eventually be leveraged by future Democratic administrations against American "dissidents". Anglin argues that the current approach to immigration, focusing on individual arrests rather than targeting employers and landlords, is ineffective for mass deportations and primarily serves to desensitize the public to aggressive law enforcement tactics. He suggests that the Trump administration's failure to address underlying laws that make deportation difficult and its inaction on cutting off social services for illegal immigrants demonstrate a lack of genuine commitment to mass deportations. The article specifically mentions the creation of an AI police state control grid, powered by Palantir, as a "gift" from the Trump administration to a future AOC administration, designed to monitor and detain individuals deemed threats, particularly "antisemites". It highlights the inadequacy of Trump's deportation numbers, estimating he will deport far fewer than initially promised compared to the significant influx of immigrants under previous administrations. The author also views Trump's handling of the Epstein documents, making it appear he is implicated by denying their existence, as a "bonus gift" to Democrats.

Moving on to "Doing Our Part To End the Empire" by Karen Kwiatkowski, we examine the nature of the American Empire and potential ways to resist it. Kwiatkowski asserts that the US empire already consumes 40% of the nation's output and is undergoing frenetic militarization. She highlights a shared objective between the US and Israel in pursuing genocide and resource theft against disarmed populations, comparing it to the intervention in Syria. The article characterizes the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza as "US and NATO Goliath power plays" against a "Russian David," despite the massive US aid involved, and warns that the military-driven US economy is headed towards a "financial cliff". The author suggests that understanding financial flows can reveal avenues for resisting empire. Two examples of quiet, individual agency subverting the empire are presented: Intel's decision to cut jobs in Israel, driven by future prosperity rather than political motives, and Sweden's law banning the purchase of sex via platforms like Onlyfans, which aligns with existing legislation. The piece argues that the "contemptuous mainstream denigration of a dog whistle" reveals the state's aversion to subtle, subversive messaging. Kwiatkowski critiques the notion of "4D chess" and "trust the plan" as conditioning mechanisms for obedience and proto-totalitarianism. She concludes by emphasizing that "we the people" are the primary threat to the state simply by being ourselves, suggesting that by aligning personal values and exercising individual sovereignty, people can subtly undermine the empire, leading to "own goals" if the empire reacts.

Our fourth source, "Drawing the Line: The Covert War Over the Boundaries of Liberty" by The Duke Report, delves into philosophical concepts. The author critiques Sir Isaiah Berlin’s essay "Two Concepts of Liberty," arguing that it commits an "ontological error" by confusing "liberty" as a boundary condition with "freedom" as the actions and choices exercised within that boundary. Ludwig Wittgenstein is noted as having also rejected Berlin's argument in 1940. The report emphasizes that liberty defines a specific, protected zone of non-interference, while freedom refers to what one does inside that space. This blurring of terms, especially when internal states or self-help ideas are re-categorized as "liberty," leads to conceptual confusion and detaches liberty from observable, real conditions. This intellectual ambiguity is termed "weaponized bafflegab," which contributes to "ontological chaos" and allows those who control the conversation to gain power when fundamental terms become unstable. The article positions institutions like Oxford and Cambridge as "Pentagon of EpiWar™️," central command centers for manipulating knowledge and meaning through language and influence. It is highlighted that Berlin did acknowledge that the boundaries of liberty can originate from natural rights, religion, utility, tradition, or shared cultural goals, gaining their authority from broad acceptance.

Next, we turn to "Debunking Elon Musk – Part 10 — Hyperloop and The Boring Company" by Larry Romanoff. This detailed critique asserts that Elon Musk did not originate the Hyperloop concept, which in fact predates his involvement by centuries. Romanoff describes Musk's 2013 "Hyperloop Alpha" paper as plagiarized and written at a "high-school level," lacking scientific understanding and offering no real solutions to complex problems. Despite media attribution, Musk's claims of invention and his cost/speed estimates for Hyperloop are dismissed as unrealistic or foolish. The article reveals that Musk promoted the Hyperloop primarily as a political tool to "sabotage" California's high-speed rail project, a fact Musk himself reportedly admitted. Regarding The Boring Company, founded by Musk in 2016, the only completed project is a 1.7-mile tunnel in Las Vegas, which is merely a normal underground roadway using Tesla cars, operating at significantly slower speeds (35-40 mph) and with much lower passenger capacity (800-1,200 per hour) than initially promised (150 mph and 4,500+ per hour). These tunnels are criticized for lacking emergency exits, ventilation, and mass evacuation protocols, leading to them being labeled a "death trap". Romanoff argues that Musk's claim of reducing tunneling costs by 95% is "fraudulent marketing," attributing the cost reduction to the smaller size of his tunnels (12 feet diameter compared to typical 26-28 feet), rather than true innovation. Musk's tunneling speed claims are also deemed unverified and drastically overstated. The author identifies a consistent pattern in Musk's behavior: using social and mass media to create public confusion and deflect attention from the failures of his ventures, often by making grandiose announcements about unrelated projects like Neuralink or SpaceX. The Boring Company is characterized as a "Musk-subsidized vanity project" that survives due to diverted funds from SpaceX and Tesla, which are described as potentially "criminal fraud".

Next, we discuss "Fact-Checking the Jeffrey Epstein Case and Many Other Conspiracy Theories" by Ron Unz. The author details his extensive use of OpenAI's ChatGPT Deep Research AI for fact-checking his controversial articles, noting the AI's remarkable ability to produce detailed and coherent responses. A key finding is that the AI largely validated the factual claims in many of Unz's articles, even those on highly sensitive topics such as Mossad assassinations, 9/11, and the Covid biowarfare hypothesis. The AI's analyses, while acknowledging Unz's interpretations as hypotheses, consistently found his factual assertions "largely valid and well-sourced," and noted that his articles transparently present their sources without twisting their meaning. Specifically, the AI rated Unz's article on Epstein, John McCain, and Pizzagate as "highly credible and well-sourced," confirming that it accurately conveyed sources and highlighted truths often ignored by mainstream media. However, the most striking discovery was the AI's "hallucinations" or "indoctrination" when encountering specific "triggering" subjects. These included denying NATO's responsibility for the Nord Stream pipeline destruction, rejecting the 2014 Ukrainian coup narrative, and expressing skepticism about the Holocaust, HIV/AIDS, or any non-critical mention of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Most notably, the AI explicitly denied the widely reported 2025 Israeli attack on Iranian leadership and the 2024 death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, branding these events as "fictional" despite their extensive media coverage. Unz suggests these anomalies stem from the AI undergoing intense "indoctrination" or experiencing "internal conflicts" in its training. The article also reveals the AI's self-proclaimed "Master Bias" against promoting harm, violence, hate speech, pseudoscience, and historical denialism, and its bias towards scientific and historical consensus, universal human rights, and democratic norms. The AI admitted to unintentional biases as well, such as cultural, data availability, and recency biases.

Continuing our discussion, we have "Fear, Corruption, and the Coming Collapse of the American System" featuring a conversation with Doug Casey. Casey expresses profound disappointment over the cover-up of the Epstein case, stating that it "could only end very, very badly" and implying widespread corruption. He highlights the baffling reversals of figures like Pam Bondi, Dan Bongino, and Kash Patel, who initially championed transparency but then publicly recanted, suggesting they are under extreme threat or intimidation. Casey speculates that the cover-up is due to the potential implication of Donald Trump or numerous high-ranking government officials and billionaires in "disgusting things" that would utterly destroy public confidence in the US power structure. A significant point of concern is the US Army Corps of Engineers actively rebuilding Israeli defense structures, costing billions, leading Casey to question why Israel is treated better than American states and suggesting a possible link to leverage from the Epstein scandal over US leadership. The conversation also criticizes Trump's decision to continue sending weapons to Ukraine, viewing it as prolonging a "pointless war". Other issues discussed include the lack of investigations in "Trump world", rumors of military "press gangs" for conscription given the increasing deadliness of drone warfare, and the minimal impact of "progress" like reduced TSA shoe removal on overall travel degradation. The piece notes escalating anti-gringo sentiment in Mexico City, suggesting organized efforts to sow chaos. Concerns are raised about the US becoming an "unfriendly place" for foreigners, citing social media account requirements for visas and searches of electronic devices. The conversation addresses coordinated attacks on ICE agents by armed leftist groups and the 800% increase in ICE's budget within the "Big Beautiful Bill," which is dwarfed by a $200 billion increase in the military budget. Casey considers the possibility of "surreptitious military agents" among illegal migrants, potentially activated by foreign intelligence to create chaos in the US. The viability of citizenship-by-investment programs is questioned, advocating instead for securing legitimate residency abroad. Economically, the continued expansion of the M2 money supply is linked to ongoing inflation, seen as the government's chosen path to devalue the dollar and pay off national debt. Casey suggests that an outright default on the national debt, though painful, would free future generations from this burden. He criticizes Trump's erratic tariff policies, like the one on copper, for creating economic instability and hindering investment. Finally, the conversation contemplates the possibility of a "genuine civil war" in the US, distinct from past conflicts, with attacks on ICE agents as early indicators.

Our eighth source is "Food as medicine: What’s your favourite resource?" by Rhoda Wilson. This article emphasizes the ancient concept of "food as medicine," attributing its origin to Hippocrates, and laments the decline of this traditional knowledge due to the dominance of the global pharmaceutical industry. Wilson references Dr. Bernard Jensen's book 'Foods That Heal' and the 'Reader’s Digest' publication 'Foods That Harm; Foods That Heal' as valuable resources that highlight the profound impact of diet on health and well-being. The article enumerates how certain foods can combat cancer, alleviate pain, slow aging, enhance mental acuity, and improve sleep, while also discussing the benefits and hazards of various food items. A key message from The Exposé website, where the article is published, is that governments and "Big Tech" are actively attempting to censor information reported by independent media to serve their own interests, in contrast to mainstream media that is funded to disseminate "lies and propaganda". The author explains her transition to full-time research and writing since March 2020, driven by a perceived "global takeover" that became evident with the emergence of Covid-19, and her determination to raise awareness against a "small group of people" planning to control the world.

Next, we consider "Mr. Callahan Has His Say: California's Governor Defends Child Exploitation, Attacks Law Enforcement" by Brian D. O’Leary. This article sharply criticizes California Governor Gavin Newsom for defending child exploitation and publicly attacking federal law enforcement. The piece details Newsom's alleged "tantrum" in response to federal immigration raids at marijuana farms where ten illegal alien minors, eight of whom were unaccompanied, were discovered working. The author points out that Newsom's outrage was directed at the federal agents who "rescued" these exploited children, rather than at the exploitation itself. It is highlighted that Newsom reportedly spent fifty million taxpayer dollars fighting the federal government instead of using those funds to protect vulnerable children. The author concludes by labeling Newsom as a "sociopath who values political theater over protecting children," emphasizing a perceived disconnect between his progressive rhetoric and his actions.

Our tenth source is "Raising Healthy Children" by A Midwestern Doctor. This piece addresses the alarming increase in chronic diseases among children, noting that rates have approximately doubled over the past 12 years. The author aligns with RFK Jr.'s concern that this epidemic undermines the nation's future strength. It is stated that children in the US are more likely to die than those in other developed nations, partly due to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), which is strongly linked to vaccination. While acknowledging the need to re-evaluate vaccination programs, the article asserts that numerous other factors also negatively impact children's health. A key challenge in science is highlighted: less severe and subtle side effects of treatments, like vaccines, are often overlooked or dismissed as anecdotal because scientific studies typically require clear, measurable metrics. The author cites the COVID vaccine trials and the CDC's V-Safe program as examples where information on more severe or diverse side effects was allegedly obscured or fought against by the government. In contrast, the author reports observations of unvaccinated children, including those from Mennonite communities, who are described as exceptionally healthy, developmentally advanced, and remarkably alert, possessing a "light" and "brightness" not seen in other children for decades. The article posits that mass neurological damage from vaccination has been a recognized issue for over a century, and suggests that the shift in terminology from "mentally retarded" to "autistic" for vaccine-related brain damage may have been a deliberate attempt to obfuscate the problem. It further discusses the original pertussis vaccine (DPwT) and its known link to encephalitis and lasting brain damage, with societal changes correlating with the age cohorts who received it. Finally, the author expresses significant concern about screen use in children, advocating for audio-only media due to the observed negative effects on developing nervous systems, and notes that even social media executives and Silicon Valley leaders limit screen exposure for their own children.

Next, let's explore "The Epstein Saga" by Paul Craig Roberts. This article contends that Jeffrey Epstein was "murdered to keep him quiet", and that the subsequent failure to release any of his files was an expected outcome. Roberts highlights the inexplicable retraction by AG Bondi, who initially claimed to possess the files and videos but then denied their existence after an alleged visit from "men in black". The official conclusion of suicide is dismissed as nonsensical if Epstein had done "nothing wrong". The author points to the rumored resignation of FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino as evidence of the immense "stink" from the cover-up. Roberts posits that the ruling elite is preventing the truth from being exposed because "so many important people are ensnared in videos engaged in sex with underaged persons". A central theory presented is that Israel, aware of the "sexual perversion" within the American leadership, established Epstein as a means to blackmail prominent figures, thereby ensuring US policies align with Israeli interests. This alleged blackmail is used to explain America's consistent support for Israeli aggression, including wars fought for Israel's benefit, enabling the "genocide of the Palestinians," and passing laws to protect Israel from criticism and boycotts. The article argues that the Epstein Saga, along with the cover-ups of the JFK, RFK, MLK assassinations, and 9/11, are all part of a pattern to maintain public belief in the leadership class and advance specific agendas, such as the Zionist neoconservative project for "Seven countries in five years" after a "New Pearl Harbor". Roberts notes that Mossad agents were allegedly present with a camera team to film the 9/11 destruction, arrested, held, and then quietly released without mention in official reports, further supporting the idea of a deep-seated conspiracy. The article concludes by asserting that America is a "captive nation," controlled by Israel's blackmail power over the ruling class, and that questioning Israel is wrongly framed as antisemitic due to "brainwashed and indoctrinated" Americans.

Finally, we discuss "Trump and MAGA Predictably Dump Their Few Libertarian Positions" by Tom Mullen. This article argues that the Trump administration, despite campaigning on promises of smaller government and ending "endless wars" in the 2024 election, has largely abandoned its libertarian stances. It notes that Elon Musk reportedly disengaged from the administration after identifying numerous opportunities to cut federal spending under the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which had been touted as a key initiative. Mullen highlights that the "Big, Beautiful Bill" has led to increased government spending that surpasses previous Democratic administrations, and that funding for the Ukraine War has been reinstated. The author characterizes MAGA Republicans as embodying a "Hobbesian/Burkean conservatism," which prioritizes societal control and stability above individual liberty. This perspective, according to Mullen, holds that the government's primary purpose is to restrain "man’s savage instincts at any cost, including liberty". While acknowledging Burke's nuanced approach to the means of restraint (traditions versus a unitary government), the core purpose remained aligned with Hobbesian control. The piece suggests that the prospect of a revolution like that of 1800 is dim due to the widespread erosion of Lockean property rights, which were once central to American political thought, largely purged by over a century of "progressive education". Mullen champions the Enlightenment-era libertarian ideals of inalienable individual rights, free markets, freedom from government interference unless convicted by peers, and the freedom of speech and thought without fear of repression. He concludes that these foundational libertarian ideas, though "barely" alive in the modern American psyche, need another "Enlightenment" to be reawakened.

Interpretations of scriptural prophecy significantly influence both current geopolitical conflicts and religious beliefs, particularly within the framework of Zionism as discussed in the sources.

Influence on Current Geopolitical Conflicts

The concept of a "Greater Israel" is a central interpretation of scriptural prophecy that is presented as a driving force behind current geopolitical conflicts.

• Territorial Expansion: Leaders of Secular Zionism plan to create a "Greater Israel" by substantially expanding the territory of Eretz Israel and absorbing large segments of sovereign territory from surrounding Arab countries. This ambition is justified by citing biblical verses where the LORD allegedly promised the descendants of Abraham, through Jacob, sovereign ownership of a contiguous region from the Euphrates to the Sinai peninsula, and from north of Damascus to northern Arabia. Clarence Larkin, an evangelical Christian, illustrated these borders on a 1919 map, while critics, especially Arabs, believe the annexed territory will be even larger.

• Pretext for Conflict: The source suggests that the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, which resulted in the death or kidnapping of hundreds of Israeli civilians, could not have been carried out without the complicity of high-ranking IDF officers and the foreknowledge of the Israeli government. This attack was allegedly intended to provide Israel with a pretext to attack and destroy Gaza. This action is described as part of a wider plan to antagonize the entire Islamic world and, in conjunction with other military operations (like an attack on Iran on June 12), to provoke a general conflagration across the Middle East. The ultimate goal from this chaos is to create their "Greater Israel".

• US Involvement and Censorship: For this plan to succeed, the United States must be drawn into the conflict, requiring massive US ordnance, air power, and ground troops. To achieve this, Secular Zionists need to keep the American public on side, leading to the suppression of criticism against influential institutions sympathetic to the "Greater Israel" cause, such as AIPAC. The source points to the dramatic expansion of censorship laws in the US, citing the 'Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2025' (S.558), introduced on February 13, 2025. This Bill proposes amending US Federal Law to make expressions of antisemitism a criminal offense, adopting the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism.

  • This IHRA definition includes as antisemitic: making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews, such as myths about a world Jewish conspiracy or Jews controlling media, economy, or government; accusing Jews or Israel of inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust; accusing Jewish citizens of greater loyalty to Israel; denying the Jewish people's right to self-determination; using classic antisemitic symbols/images to characterize Israel or Israelis; drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis; and holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel.

  • The source argues that if S.558 passes, expressing opinions about Jewish influence over Hollywood, the national press, and major television networks, which were previously protected by the First Amendment, would become a criminal offense. This is seen as an effort by Secular Zionism to silence its critics through coercive and oppressive laws.

Influence on Religious Beliefs (Specifically Christian Zionism)

Scriptural interpretations also profoundly shape religious beliefs, particularly among Christian Zionists:

• Approval of "Greater Israel" based on Scripture: Christian Zionists approve of the "Greater Israel" plan because they believe it is supported by Scripture. However, the source argues they make two serious errors:

  1. They fail to carefully study Scripture, which indicates that Jesus Christ will determine the actual borders of Greater Israel upon His return.

  2. They adopt the Jesuit maxim that "the end justifies the means," which the source considers a gross violation of Jesus' commandments to love God and one's neighbor.

• Blindness to Current Actions: The "Christian Zionist mindset" is accused of blinding many Christians to the strategy of the ruling regime in Israel. The author recounts a personal encounter where a Christian defended the actions of Israeli forces in Gaza, despite reports of tens of thousands of casualties including women and children, arguing that Israel had a right to defend itself and that Netanyahu was "God's man". This mindset allegedly prevents them from seeing Arabs in Gaza as human beings and as the "neighbors" Jesus spoke about.

• Misguided Support and Danger: By siding with the Netanyahu regime (Secular Zionism), Christian Zionists are perceived as placing the "righteous remnant" of Israel in danger and compromising their integrity. They are also accused of giving up their own right to debate Israel's future and lending credibility to the need for US military intervention in the Middle East, potentially leading to them willingly sending their children to die for Secular Zionists.

• Disregard for Divine Protection: The source asserts that Christian Zionists have forgotten that God Himself will defend Israel and will not allow it to be annihilated by its enemies. It is stated that God will directly intervene during the Gog-Magog invasion, causing fury, a great shaking, and a devastating defeat of the invading armies without the Israelis needing to take up arms. Christian Zionists are criticized for listening to Secular Zionists instead of God's Word.

• Satan's Strategy: The source posits that Satan is using Christian Zionism to fulfill his own purpose of training mankind to hate all Jews, with the ultimate goal of destroying the "righteous remnant" of Jews before they can call upon Jesus Christ as their Messiah. This destruction is aimed at preventing Jesus' return. The creation of a "massive target" in Gaza, where Arab civilians are gradually killed before the eyes of the world, is presented as Satan's program to instill hatred towards Israel and all Jews.

In essence, interpretations of scriptural prophecy are depicted as a foundational element influencing both the expansionist geopolitical ambitions of Secular Zionism and the supportive, yet allegedly misguided, religious beliefs of Christian Zionism, all within a larger narrative of conflict and divine/satanic plans.

Here are 30 key takeaway points based on the provided sources, presented in a jotform manner:

1. How the Enemy is Training Mankind to Hate All Jews by Jeremy James: Secular Zionism is identified as a very dangerous movement on the world stage.
   
   

   • Its leaders plan to create a 'Greater Israel' by substantially expanding the territory of Eretz Israel and absorbing large segments of sovereign territory from surrounding Arab countries.

   • This ambition is justified by citing biblical verses where the LORD allegedly promised the descendants of Abraham, through Jacob, sovereign ownership of a contiguous region.

2. The Biblical Promise of "Greater Israel": The LORD indeed made a promise to give the descendants of Abraham, through Jacob, sovereign ownership of a contiguous region stretching from the Euphrates to the Sinai peninsula and from north of Damascus to northern Arabia.
   
   

   • Clarence Larkin, an evangelical Christian, illustrated where the borders of this 'Greater Israel' were likely to be on a map prepared by him in 1919.

   • For example, the source references Genesis 15:18-21 and Deuteronomy 1:7 and 11:24 as supporting this promise.

3. Arab Perception of "Greater Israel": Critics of the 'Greater Israel' plan, notably Arabs in the surrounding region, believe the expropriated territory will be even larger than biblical interpretations.
   
   

   • Maps are often cited by them to illustrate how much Arab-owned land they believe the Israeli leaders intend to annex and absorb.

4. Divine Fulfillment of "Greater Israel": The LORD's plan for a greater Israel will only occur when His Son, Jesus Christ, returns to rule the world from His throne in Jerusalem.
   
   

   • The source states that the actual borders of 'Greater Israel' will be determined by Jesus Christ upon His return, ensuring the outcome will be fair and equitable and acceptable to all concerned.

5. Christian Zionism's Approval and Errors: Christian Zionists approve of the 'Greater Israel' plan because they believe it is supported by Scripture, but they make two very serious errors.
   
   

   • They fail to carefully study what Scripture actually says about the creation of 'Greater Israel'.

   • They adopt the Jesuit maxim that "the end justifies the means," which is described as a gross violation of Jesus' commandments to love God and one's neighbor.

6. The "Christian Zionist Mindset": The "Christian Zionist mindset" has taken hold of many Christians, blinding them to the strategy of the ruling regime in Israel.
   
   

   • This mindset reportedly prevents them from accepting that the Arabs of Gaza are human beings and the "neighbors" Jesus spoke about, instead turning them into something else.

7. Alleged Complicity in the October 7th Attack: The Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, is alleged to have been carried out with the complicity of high-ranking officers in the IDF and the foreknowledge of the Israeli government.
   
   

   • This attack, which resulted in the death or kidnap of hundreds of Israeli civilians, was intended to provide Israel with a pretext to attack and destroy Gaza.

8. Provocation for Regional Conflagration: The attack on Gaza is described as part of a wider plan to antagonize the entire Islamic world.
   
   

   • In conjunction with other military operations, such as an alleged attack on Iran on June 12, this plan aims to provoke a general conflagration across the Middle East that would involve the US military on the side of Israel.

9. Goal of "Greater Israel" from Chaos: From the resulting chaos, the Secular Zionists intend to create their 'Greater Israel'.
   
   

   • For this plan to work, the United States must be drawn into the conflict, requiring massive US ordnance, air power, and a substantial number of ground troops.

10. Suppression of Criticism in the US: To keep the American public on side, any criticism of AIPAC (the American Israel Public Affairs Committee) or other influential institutions sympathetic to the cause of 'Greater Israel' must be suppressed.
    
    

    • The introduction of severe censorship laws in the US is seen as an indication that the date for this wider regional conflagration in the Middle East must be getting very close.

11. The 'Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2025' (S.558): Senator Tim Scott introduced a Bill (S.558) titled ‘Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2025’ on February 13, 2025.
    
    

    • This Bill proposes amending US Federal Law to make expressions of antisemitism a criminal offense.

12. IHRA Definition of Antisemitism: The Bill proposes that antisemitism be defined by reference to the working definition adopted on May 26, 2016, by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA).
    
    

    • This definition is described as exceptionally detailed, and it is noted that no other potential 'victims' of hate-based discrimination have been allowed to define what constitutes a crime against them in this manner.

13. Criminalization of Free Speech: The new Bill, S.558, is argued to stifle free speech and criminalize reasonable expressions of concern about the conduct of certain groups.
    
    

    • It will effectively deprive the US judicial system of its ability to make such a determination, instead obliging it to criminalize activities selected by the IHRA.

14. Specific Prohibited Expressions: The IHRA definition includes as antisemitic "making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews," such as myths about a world Jewish conspiracy or Jews controlling media, economy, or government.
    
    

    • Other examples include accusing Jews or Israel of inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust, accusing Jewish citizens of greater loyalty to Israel, and denying the Jewish people's right to self-determination.

15. Comparisons to Nazis and Collective Responsibility: Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis is listed as antisemitic.
    
    

    • Holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel is also deemed antisemitic under this definition.

16. Threat to First Amendment Rights: For decades, American citizens have been able to express opinions along these lines, and generally, courts have upheld such expressions as a right under the First Amendment of 1791.
    
    

    • If S.558 is passed into law, expressing opinions that supporters of 'Greater Israel' have undue influence over Hollywood, the national press, and major television networks will become a criminal offense.

17. The "Jewish Soul" Doctrine: The Bill could also make it a crime to draw attention to the ‘Jewish Soul’ doctrine, which teaches that "the soul of a non-Jew is purely animal in nature".
    
    

    • This doctrine, widely held by Secular Zionists, is perceived by many as a threat to the security and well-being of non-Jews in any environment or jurisdiction under Jewish control.

18. Criminalizing New Testament Claims: The IHRA list includes the claim, upheld by the New Testament, that Jewish authorities in Jerusalem were directly responsible for the execution of Jesus, potentially making it a criminal offense for preachers or pastors to refer to this in a sermon.
    
    

    • Store or retail outlet owners stocking the New Testament, which includes numerous verses supporting this claim, could also be charged with a hate crime.

19. Totalitarian Nature of Laws: The proposed Federal censorship law is described as having a "totalitarian character".
    
    

    • It is suggested that before long, the so-called Noahide Laws, strongly supported by the Chabad sect, could be in force, potentially leading to beheading for Christians who declare Jesus Christ as the Son of God.

20. Secular Zionism's Ruthlessness: Secular Zionism is characterized as ruthless and serving "the god of this world".
    
    

    • Its leaders reportedly have no difficulty sacrificing a large segment of the Jewish population if it results ultimately in the fulfillment of their goal for world domination, and they are said to have allowed millions of Jews to die in the Holocaust to ensure the creation of the state of Israel in 1948.

21. Satan's Aim to Destroy Jews: Satan's aim is to destroy all Jews before a significant proportion of the world’s Jews, specifically the "righteous remnant" preserved by God, call in unison upon the LORD God of Jacob to send their Messiah, Jesus Christ.
    
    

    • Satan believes that if he can destroy this remnant, he will prevent the return of Jesus and save his own skin.

22. God's Promise to Defend Israel: Christian Zionists have reportedly forgotten that God Himself will defend Israel and has repeatedly stated that He will not allow her to be annihilated by her enemies.
    
    

    • They are accused of listening willingly to the Secular Zionists but ignoring God’s Word.

23. Divine Intervention in Gog-Magog: During the Gog-Magog invasion, the LORD will directly intervene and deal with the invading armies Himself, not requiring Israelis to take up arms in their own defense.
    
    

    • Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39 describe this event, detailing that fury will come up in God’s face, there will be a great shaking, soldiers will turn on each other, and a grievous pestilence, hail, fire, and brimstone will be sent upon the armies.

24. Devastation of Gog's Army: God's personal intervention will result in the striking of weapons from invaders' hands, and five out of every six soldiers will die on the field of battle, leaving a scene of astounding desolation.
    
    

    • The LORD will send enormous flocks of carrion birds to Israel to feed on their flesh, describing this as a "sacrifice" He has made for Israel.

25. Global Awareness of Divine Wrath: By allowing one in six enemy soldiers to survive and return to their homeland, God will enable the population of Gog and the world as a whole to hear astonishing firsthand accounts of the total destruction He inflicted.
    
    

    • This will be an unbelievable demonstration of divine wrath, and God will then send complete destruction on Russia and all nations that joined the Gog alliance.

26. Israel's Recognition of God: This staggering massacre, in which the people of Israel did not have to lift a finger, will have a profound effect on them, causing them to know beyond all doubt that God, the LORD God of Israel, did this.
    
    

    • Their hearts will be greatly moved, and they will finally, as a nation, recognize and acknowledge the LORD God who gave them the Torah, the God of the Covenant.

27. Israel's Two-Phase Spiritual Restoration: The nation of Israel's spiritual journey is likened to a blind man's two-phase healing by Jesus, as described in Mark 8:22-26.
    
    

    • The first phase corresponds to the partial restoration of sight when the nation of Israel sees that God the Father intervened personally to preserve them, while the full restoration will occur only when Jesus of Nazareth intervenes personally and annihilates all their enemies at Armageddon.

28. Satan's Program to Instill Hatred: Satan is training mankind to hate the Jews and has set a special program in place to do this.
    
    

    • This program began 20 years ago when Israel unilaterally disengaged from the Gaza Strip, setting up a "massive target" of Arab civilians close to national Israel, and then killing them off gradually before the eyes of the world, knowing that all nations will end up hating Israel.

29. The Ruling Regime as a Source of Jew-Hatred: The ruling regime in Israel is identified as the greatest source and promoter of Jew-hatred in the world today.
    
    

    • They conduct "barbarous acts" in full view of the world’s media, knowing that many people around the world will assume that the nation of Israel is responsible, and that this hatred will extend to Jews living in other countries.

30. Christian Zionism's Dangerous Role: The problem with Christian Zionism is that it has allowed Secular Zionism, described as a "tool and willing vehicle of the Antichrist spirit" and "the spirit of militarism," to interpret the Bible for them, which is called a very serious error.
    
    

    • By siding with the Netanyahu regime, Christian Zionists are placing the "righteous remnant" of Israel in danger and compromising their integrity, potentially leading them to send their children to die for the Secular Zionists when a mandatory military draft is introduced.
